Pyrophosphate is widely used as an iron supplement because of its excellent complexation and hydrolysis ability; however, there are few reports on the use of pyrophosphate in active ionophores for bone repair. In this research, we proposed a simple and efficient ultrasonic method to prepare magnesium-calcium (pyro)phosphate aggregates (AMCPs). Due to strong hydration, AMCPs maintain a stable amorphous form even at high temperatures (400 °C). By changing the molar ratio of calcium and magnesium ions, the content of calcium and magnesium ions can be customized. AMCPs had surface negativity and complexing ability that realized the controlled release of ions (Ca, Mg, and P) and drugs (such as doxorubicin) over a long period. Pyrophosphate gave it an excellent bacteriostatic effect. Increasingly released Mg exhibited improved bioactivity though the content of Ca decreased. While Mg content was regulated to 15 wt %, it performed significantly enhanced stimulation on the proliferation, attachment, and differentiation (ALP activity, calcium nodules, and the related gene expression of osteogenesis) of mouse embryo osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1). Furthermore, the high content of Mg also effectively promoted the proliferation, attachment, and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the expression of angiogenic genes. In conclusion, pyrophosphate was an excellent carrier for bioactive ions, and the AMCPs we prepared had a variety of active functions for multiscenario bone repair applications.
焦磷酸盐因其出色的络合和水解能力而被广泛用作铁补充剂;然而,关于焦磷酸盐在用于骨修复的活性离子载体中的应用报道较少。在本研究中,我们提出了一种简单有效的超声方法来制备镁钙(焦)磷酸盐聚集体(AMCPs)。由于强烈的水合作用,AMCPs即使在高温(400℃)下也能保持稳定的无定形形式。通过改变钙和镁离子的摩尔比,可以定制钙和镁离子的含量。AMCPs具有表面负电性和络合能力,能够实现离子(钙、镁和磷)和药物(如阿霉素)的长期控释。焦磷酸盐赋予其优异的抑菌效果。随着镁的释放增加,尽管钙含量降低,但其生物活性有所提高。当镁含量调节至15 wt%时,它对小鼠胚胎成骨细胞前体细胞(MC3T3-E1)的增殖、附着和分化(碱性磷酸酶活性、钙结节以及成骨相关基因表达)表现出显著增强的刺激作用。此外,高含量的镁还能有效促进人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)的增殖、附着和迁移以及血管生成基因的表达。总之,焦磷酸盐是生物活性离子的优良载体,我们制备的AMCPs在多场景骨修复应用中具有多种活性功能。
