Regulated contribution of local and systemic immunity to new bone regeneration by modulating B/Sr concentration of bioactive borosilicate glass. Mater Today Bio 2023; 19:100585. [PMID: 36896413 PMCID: PMC9988577 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 02/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The local immune response induced by bioactive borosilicate glass (BG) plays a vital role in bone regeneration, but its effect in the systemic immune response of distal tissues, such as spleen, remains unknown. In this study, the network structures and the relative theoretical structural descriptors (Fnet) of the novel BG composition containing boron (B) and strontium (Sr) were calculated and stimulated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and the linear relationships of Fnet and B and Sr releasing rate in pure water and simulate body fluid were built. Next, the synergistic effects of the released B and Sr on promoting osteogenic differentiation, angiogenesis, and macrophage polarization were analyzed in vitro and convinced in rats skull models in vivo. Results show that the optimal synergistic effects of B and Sr both in vitro and in vivo released from 1393B2Sr8 BG increased vessel regeneration, modulated M2 macrophages polarization and promoted new-bone formation. Interestingly, the 1393B2Sr8 BG was found to mobilize monocytes from the spleen to the defects and subsequently modulate them into M2 macrophages. Then, these modulated cells cycled from the bone defects back to the spleen. To analyze the necessity of spleen-derived immune cells in bone regeneration, two contrasting rat models (with/without spleen) of skull defects were furtherly established. As results, rats without spleen had fewer M2 macrophages surrounding skull defects and the bone tissues recovered more slowly, indicating the beneficial effects on bone regeneration of circulating monocytes and polarized macrophages provided by spleen. The present study provides a new approach and strategy in optimizing complex composition of novel BG and sheds light on the importance of spleen through modulating systemic immune response to contribute to local bone regeneration.

Abstract
Recently, the effect of nanograting formation was demonstrated for binary sodium borate glass with the possibility of data storage with an enhanced level of security. The obvious disadvantage of such glass is poor chemical stability, which limits real applications. In this paper, we show that the introduction of Al2O3 allows preserving the possibility of nanograting formation with a significant increase of chemical resistance and thus to preserve optical memory applications. On the other hand, the possibility of selective etching of laser-written tracks by means of distilled water is revealed, which was not demonstrated for other types of glasses. The dependence of retardance of nanogratings form birefringence on laser writing parameters is established and discussed. Structural features of laser-modified microdomains are studied via Raman spectroscopy which revealed an increase of three-coordinated boron content. A possible mechanism of selective etching is discussed.

Abstract
Understanding the corrosion behavior of glasses in near-neutral environments is crucial for many technologies including glasses for regenerative medicine and nuclear waste immobilization. To maintain consistent pH values throughout experiments in the pH = 7 to 9 regime, buffer solutions containing tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane ("Tris", or sometimes called THAM) are recommended in ISO standards 10993-14 and 23317 for evaluating biomaterial degradation and utilized throughout glass dissolution behavior literature-a key advantage being the absence of dissolved alkali/alkaline earth cations (i.e. Na+ or Ca2+) that can convolute experimental results due to solution feedback effects. Although Tris is effective at maintaining the solution pH, it has presented concerns due to the adverse artificial effects it produces while studying glass corrosion, especially in borosilicate glasses. Therefore, many open questions still remain on the topic of borosilicate glass interaction with Tris-based solutions. We have approached this topic by studying the dissolution behavior of a sodium borosilicate glass in a wide range of Tris-based solutions at 65 °C with varied acid identity (Tris-HCl vs. Tris-HNO3), buffer concentration (0.01 M to 0.5 M), and pH (7-9). The results have been discussed in reference to previous studies on this topic and the following conclusions have been made: (i) acid identity in Tris-based solutions does not exhibit a significant impact on the dissolution behavior of borosilicate glasses, (ii) ∼0.1 M Tris-based solutions are ideal for maintaining solution pH in the absence of obvious undesirable solution chemistry effects, and (iii) Tris-boron complexes can form in solution as a result of glass dissolution processes. The complex formation, however, exhibits a distinct temperature-dependence, and requires further study to uncover the precise mechanisms by which Tris-based solutions impact borosilicate glass dissolution behavior.

Abstract
Owing to their fast but tunable degradation kinetics (in comparison to silicates) and excellent bioactivity, the past decade has witnessed an upsurge in the research interest of borate/borosilicate-based bioactive glasses for their potential use in a wide range of soft tissue regeneration applications. Nevertheless, most of these glasses have been developed using trial-and-error approaches wherein SiO2 has been gradually replaced by B2O3. One major reason for using this empirical approach is the complexity of short-to-intermediate range structures of these glasses which greatly complicate the development of a thorough understanding of composition-structure-solubility relationships in these systems. Transitioning beyond the current style of composition design to a style that facilitates the development of bioactive glasses with controlled ion release tailored for specific patients/diseases requires a deeper understanding of the compositional/structural dependence of glass degradation behavior in vitro and in vivo. Accordingly, the present study aims to decipher the structural drivers controlling the dissolution kinetics and ion-release behavior of potentially bioactive glasses designed in the Na2O-B2O3-P2O5-SiO2 system across a broad compositional space in simulated body environments (pH = 7.4). By employing state-of-the-art spectroscopy-based characterization techniques, it has been shown that the degradation kinetics of borosilicate glasses depend on their R (Na2O/B2O3) and K (SiO2/B2O3) ratios, while the release of particular network-forming moieties from the glass into solution is strongly influenced by their role in-and effect on-the short-to-intermediate-range molecular structure. The current study aims to promote a rational design of borosilicate-based bioactive glasses, where a delicate balance between maximizing soft tissue regeneration and minimizing calcification and cytotoxicity can be achieved by tuning the release of ionic dissolution products (of controlled identity and abundance) from bioactive glasses into physiological media.

Abstract
The advancement of glass science has played a pivotal role in enhancing the quality and length of human life. However, with an ever-increasing demand for glasses in a variety of healthcare applications - especially with controlled degradation rates - it is becoming difficult to design new glass compositions using conventional approaches. For example, it is difficult, if not impossible, to design new gene-activation bioactive glasses, with controlled release of functional ions tailored for specific patient states, using trial-and-error based approaches. Notwithstanding, it is possible to design new glasses with controlled release of functional ions by using artificial intelligence-based methods, for example, supervised machine learning (ML). In this paper, we present an ensemble ML model for reliable prediction of time- and composition-dependent dissolution behavior of a wide variety of oxide glasses relevant for various biomedical applications. A comprehensive database, comprising of over 1300 data-records consolidated from original glass dissolution experiments, has been used for training and subsequent testing of prediction performance of the ML model. Results demonstrate that the ensemble ML model can predict chemical degradation behavior of glasses in aqueous solutions over a wide range of pH relevant for their usage in a human body where the environment can be highly acidic (for example, pH = 3), for example, due to secretion of citric acid by osteoclasts, or highly alkaline (pH ≈10) due to the release of alkali cations from bioactive glasses. Outcomes of this study can be leveraged to design glasses with controlled dissolution behavior in various biological environments.

Abstract
Glass surfaces are of considerable interest due to their disproportionately large influence on the performance of glass articles in many applications. However, the behavior of glass surfaces has proven difficult to model and predict due to their complex structure and interactions with the environment. Here, the effects of glass network topology on the surface reactivity of glasses have been investigated using reactive and nonreactive force field-based molecular dynamics simulations as well as density functional theory. A topological constraint-based description for surface reactivity is developed, allowing for improved understanding of the physical and chemical origins of surface reactivity. Results show evidence for the existence of a chemically stable intermediate phase on the surface of the glass where the glass network is mechanically isostatic.
