Abstract
Therapeutic options are quite limited in clinics for the successful repair of infected/degenerated tissues. Although the prevalent treatment is the complete removal of the whole infected tissue, this leads to a loss of tissue function and serious complications. Herein the dental pulp infection, as one of the most common dental problems, was selected as a clinically relevant case to regenerate using a multifunctional nanotherapeutic approach. For this, a mesoporous bioactive glass nano-delivery system incorporating silicate, calcium, and copper as well as loading epidermal growth factor (EGF) was designed to provide antibacterial/pro-angiogenic and osteo/odontogenic multiple therapeutic effects. Amine-functionalized Cu-doped bioactive glass nanospheres (Cu-BGn) were prepared to be 50–60 nm in size, mesoporous, positive-charged and bone-bioactive. The Cu-BGn could release bioactive ions (copper, calcium and silicate ions) with therapeutically-effective doses. The Cu-BGn treatment to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) led to significant enhancement of the migration, tubule formation and expression of angiogenic gene (e.g. vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF). Furthermore, the EGF-loaded Cu-BGn (EGF@Cu-BGn) showed pro-angiogenic effects with antibacterial activity against E. faecalis, a pathogen commonly involved in the pulp infection. Of note, under the co-culture condition of HUVEC with E. faecalis, the secretion of VEGF was up-regulated. In addition, the osteo/odontogenic stimulation of the EGF@Cu-BGn was evidenced with human dental pulp stem cells. The local administration of the EGF@Cu-BGn in a rat molar tooth defect infected with E. faecalis revealed significant in vivo regenerative capacity, highlighting the nanotherapeutic uses of the multifunctional nanoparticles for regenerating infected/ damaged hard tissues.
