Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this project was to investigate the angiogenic mechanism of bioactive borate glass for soft tissue repair in a ‘hairless’ SKH1 mouse model. Subcutaneous microvascular responses to bioactive glass microfibers (45S5, 13-93B3, and 13-93B3Cu) and bioactive glass beads (13-93, 13-93B3, and 13-93B3Cu) were assessed via: noninvasive imaging of skin microvasculature; histomorphometry of microvascular densities; and quantitative PCR measurements of mRNA expression of VEGF and FGF-2 cytokines. Live imaging via dorsal skin windows showed the formation at twoweeks of a halo-like structure infused with microvessels surrounding implanted boratebased 13-93B3 and 13-93B3Cu glass beads, a response not observed with silicate-based 13-93 glass beads. Quantitative histomorphometry of tissues implanted with plugs of 45S5, 13-93B3, and 13-93B3Cu glass microfibers revealed microvascular densities that were 1.6-, 2.3-, and 2.7-times higher, respectively, than the sham control valueswhereas 13-93, 13-93B3, and 13-93B3Cu glass beads caused the microvascular density to increase 1.3-, 1.6-, and 2.5-fold, respectively, relative to sham controls. Quantitative PCR measurements indicate a marginally significant increased expression of VEGF mRNA in tissues with 13-93B3Cu glass beads, an outcome that supported the hypothesis that copper-doped borate glass could promote VEGF expression followed by angiogenesis for enhanced wound healing.
生物活性硼酸玻璃微纤维和微珠对无毛小鼠血管生成的影响
本项目旨在研究生物活性硼酸盐玻璃在“无毛”SKH1小鼠模型中用于软组织修复的血管生成机制。皮下微血管对生物活性玻璃微纤维(45S5、13-93B3和13-93B3Cu)和生物活性玻璃微珠(13-93、13-93B3和13-93B3Cu)的反应通过以下方式评估:皮肤微血管无创成像;微血管密度组织形态学;定量PCR检测VEGF和FGF-2细胞因子mRNA表达。通过背部皮肤窗口的实时成像显示,两周后,植入的硼酸盐基13-93B3和13-93B3Cu玻璃珠周围形成了一个充满微血管的晕状结构,而硅酸盐基13-93玻璃珠则没有观察到这种反应。对植入45S5、13-93B3和13-93B3Cu玻璃微纤维的组织进行定量组织形态学分析,结果显示,微血管密度分别比假手术对照组高1.6倍、2.3倍和2.7倍,而13-93、13-93B3和13-93B3Cu玻璃微珠的组织微血管密度分别比假手术对照组高1.3倍、1.6倍和2.5倍。定量PCR检测结果显示,在13-93B3Cu玻璃微珠的组织中,VEGF mRNA的表达略有显著增加,这一结果支持了铜掺杂硼酸盐玻璃可以促进VEGF表达和血管生成,从而促进伤口愈合的假设。
