Titanium dioxide nanotubes applied to conventional glass ionomer cement influence the expression of immunoinflammatory markers: an in vitro study.
Heliyon(2024)
摘要
Objectives
To assess the impact of different concentrations TiO2-nt incorporated into a glass ionomer cement on the proliferation, mitochondrial metabolism, morphology, and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine production of cultured fibroblasts (NIH/3T3), whether or not stimulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS-2 μg/mL, 24 h).
Methods
TiO2-nt was added to KM (Ketac Molar EasyMix™, 3%, 5%, 7% in weight); unblended KM was used as the control. The analyses included: Cell proliferation assay (n=6; 24/48/72h); Mitochondrial metabolism assay (n=6; 24/48/72h); Confocal laser microscopy (n=3; 24/48/72h); Determination of biomarkers (IL-1β/IL-6/IL-10/VEGF/TNF) by using both multiplex technology (n=6; 12/18 h) and the quantitative real-time PCR assay (q-PCR) (n=3, 24/72/120 h). The data underwent analysis using both the Shapiro-Wilk and Levene tests, and by generalized linear models (α=0.05).
Results
It demonstrated that cell proliferation increased over time, regardless of the presence of TiO2-nt or LPS, and displayed a significant increase at 72 h; mitochondrial metabolism increased (p<0.05), irrespective of exposure to LPS (p=0.937); no cell morphology changes were observed; TiO2-nt reverted the impact of KM on the secreted levels of the evaluated proteins and the gene expressions in the presence of LPS (p<0.0001).
Conclusions
TiO2-nt did not adversely affect the biological behavior of fibroblastic cells cultured on GIC discs.
