Abstract
In the present study, copper-based (25 - x)CaO - xCuO -10P2O5 - 5B2O3 - 60SiO2 (x = 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 mol%) mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) were synthesized using the sol-gel technique with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as the structure-directing agent. The live-dead cell count and cytocompatibility of MBGs for J774A.1 murine macrophages have also been investigated for different concentrations of MBGs. The ionic dissolution profile for Ca, P and Si has been evaluated in the simulated body fluid. The effect of copper content as well as the ionic dissolution products on the up-regulation and down-regulation of TGIF-2, HDAC-4, Smurf-1, mir-30c and mir-130a genes for the murine model are investigated using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Silica and calcium release follows a similar trend as followed by gene up-regulation of TGIF-2, HDAC-4 and mir-30c genes. This indicates that silica and calcium release influence gene expression.
