摘要
It is generally accepted that biodegradable materials greatly influence the nearby microenvironment where cells reside; however, the range of interfacial properties has seldom been discussed due to technical bottlenecks. This study aims to depict biomaterial microenvironment boundaries by correlating interfacial H+ distribution with surrounding cell behaviors. Using a disuse-related osteoporotic mouse model, we confirmed that the abnormal activated osteoclasts could be suppressed under relatively alkaline conditions. The differentiation and apatite-resorption capability of osteoclasts were “switched off” when cultured in titrated material extracts with pH values higher than 7.8. To generate a localized alkaline microenvironment, a series of borosilicates were fabricated and their interfacial H+ distributions were monitored spatiotemporally by employing noninvasive microtest technology. By correlating interfacial H+ distribution with osteoclast “switch on/off” behavior, the microenvironment boundary of the tested material was found to be 400 ± 50 μm, which is broader than the generally accepted value, 300 μm. Furthermore, osteoporotic mice implanted with materials with higher interfacial pH values and boarder effective ranges had lower osteoclast activities and a thicker new bone. To conclude, effective proton microenvironment boundaries of degradable biomaterials were depicted and a weak alkaline microenvironment was shown to promote regeneration of osteoporotic bones possibly by suppressing abnormal activated osteoclasts.
