摘要
Recently, oxidative stress has been identified as a pivotal pathological factor inducing bone osteoporosis. This phenomenon is responsible for low bone density. It alters bone quality and generates bone fractures. Strontium is found to induce osteoblast activity by stimulating bone formation and reducing bone resorption by restraining osteoclasts. Bioglass (BG) has been used to repair bone defects, and, in combination with strontium (BG-Sr), offers an opportunity to treat this disease. This study investigated the potential role of BG-Sr in improving antioxidant activity and regenerative bone capacity, The effects of both BG-Sr and BG were tested on osteoblast SaOS2 and endothelial EAhy926 cell proliferation in vitro. In vivo, BG-Sr and BG were implanted in the femoral condyles of Wistar rats and compared to that of control groups. Cell proliferation increased significantly by 120% at SaOS2 and 127% at EAhy926. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) were significantly enhanced in BG-Sr treated rats compared to other groups. Moreover, a significant decrease of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARs) was observed. The Ca/P ratio increase improved progressive bone mineralization. According to these results, BG-Sr ameliorated cell proliferation and developed an antioxidative defense against ROS. The histological findings highlight the BG-Sr implications in the osteoporosis treatment confirmed by bone construction. The development of BG-Sr as a therapeutic biomaterial protecting against oxidative stress might make an effective choice for application in tissue engineering.
