Improved osteogenic activity and inhibited bacterial biofilm formation on andrographolide-loaded titania nanotubes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Delivery of local drugs with a titania nanotube is an attractive approach to combat implant-related infection. Our earlier study has confirmed that nanotubes loaded with gentamicin could significantly improve the antibacterial ability. On this basis, the used andrographolide in this paper has a high antibacterial activity, which cannot only avoid the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria but also has simultaneously excellent biocompatibility with osteogenic cells.

Methods

Two mg of andrographolide was loaded into titania nanotubes, which were fabricated into different diameters (50 and 100 nm) and 200 nm length by the method of lyophilization and vacuum drying. We chose a standard strain, Staphylococcus epidermidis (American Type Culture Collection 35984), and two clinical isolates, S. aureus 376 and S. epidermidis 389 to research the bacterial adhesion at 6, 12 and 24 hours and biofilm formation at 48, and 72 hours on the andrographolide-loaded nanotubes (NT-A) using the diffusion plate method. Smooth titanium (smooth Ti) and nanotubes with no drug loading (NT) were also inclusive and analyzed. Furthermore, the Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats mesenchymal stem cells were used to assess the influence of nanotubular topographies on the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.

Results

Our results showed that NT-A could inhibit bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on implant surfaces. NT-A and NT, especially those with 100 nm diameters, were found to significantly promoted cell attachment, proliferation, diffusion, and osteogenic differentiation when compared with smooth Ti, while the same diameter in NT-A and NT did not differ.

Conclusions

Titania nanotube modification and andrographolide loading can significantly improve the antibacterial ability and osteogenic activity of orthopedic implants. Nanotubes-based local delivery could be a promising strategy for combating implant-associated infection.

Project description:Mycobacterium abscessus is a biofilm-forming, non-tuberculous mycobacterium that is highly resistant to antibiotics. Bacterial efflux pumps contribute to biofilm formation, export of biofilm-associated lipids and antibiotic tolerance. The Resistance Nodulation Cell Division (RND) and ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) families of efflux pumps export lipids to the mycobacterial cell surface. 1-(1-naphthyl methyl)-piperazine (NMP) is a chemosensitizer that causes membrane destabilization and is an inhibitor of RND efflux pumps. The effects of NMP on biofilm formation and lipid metabolism in M. abscessus biofilms have not been investigated. Plumbagin (PLU) is an inhibitor of ABC efflux pumps that has not been studied for its effects on antibiotic tolerance in M. abscessus biofilms. In this study, we report that the efflux pump inhibitors NMP and PLU inhibit biofilm formation by 50% at sub-MIC levels. We show that NMP inhibits the incorporation of the radiolabeled long-chain fatty acid 14C-palmitate into glycopeptidolipids in cell surface lipids of log-phase M. abscessus. NMP also inhibits the utilization of the radiolabel in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine in the cell surface and cellular lipids of M. abscessus cells in log-phase and in biofilms. Incorporation of the radiolabel into cardiolipin in the cellular lipids of M. abscessus biofilms was inhibited by NMP. The incorporation of 14C-acetate into cell surface phosphatidylethanolamine in log-phase and biofilm cells was also inhibited by NMP. Triacylglycerol biosynthesis using 14C-palmitate and 14C-acetate in cellular lipids of log-phase and biofilm cells was increased several folds by NMP. Efflux pump activity in M. abscessus cells was inhibited by 97% and 68% by NMP and PLU respectively. NMP and PLU caused 5-fold decreases in the minimum inhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin and clarithromycin against M. abscessus. Our results demonstrate that NMP and PLU affect important physiological processes in M. abscessus associated with its pathogenesis.
