Abstract

Despite over 50 years of silicate bioactive glass (SBG) research, commercial success, and 6000+ published articles, there remains a lack of understanding of how soluble silicate (Si) species released from SBGs influences cellular responses. Using a systematic approach, this article quantitatively compares the in vitro responses of cells to SBG dissolution products reported in the literature and determines if there is a Si concentration ([Si]) dependent effect on cell behaviour. Cell behavioural responses to SBGs [Si] in dissolution products included metabolic activity (reported in 52 % of articles), cell number (24 %), protein production (22 %), gene expression (22 %) and biomineralization (24 %). There was a difference in the [Si] reported to cause increased (desirable) cellular responses (median = 30.2 ppm) compared to the [Si] reported to cause decreased (undesirable) cellular responses (median = 52.0 ppm) (P ≤ 0.001). The frequency of undesirable outcomes increased with increasing [Si], with ∼3 times more negative outcomes reported above 52 ppm. We also investigated the effect of [Si] on specific cellular outcomes (e.g., metabolic activity, angiogenesis, osteogenesis),if cell type/species influenced these responses and the impact of other ions (Ca, P, Na) within the SBG dissolution media on cell behaviour. This review has, for the first time, quantitatively compared the cellular responses to SBGs from the literature, providing a quantitative overview of SBG in vitro practices and presents evidence of a range of [Si] where desirable cellular responses may be more likely (30-52 ppm). This review also demonstrates the need for greater standardisation of in vitro methodological approaches and recommends some minimum reporting standards.
