description | Currently, implant-associated bacterial infections account for most hospital-acquired infections in patients suffering from bone fractures or defects. Poor osseointegration and aggravated osteolysis remain great challenges for the success of implants in infectious scenarios. Consequently, developing an effective surface modification strategy for implants is urgently needed. Here, a novel nanoplatform (GO/Ga) consisting of graphene oxide (GO) and gallium nanoparticles (GaNPs) was reported, followed by investigations of its in vitro antibacterial activity and potential bacterium inactivation mechanisms, cytocompatibility and regulatory actions on osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. In addition, the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the regulatory effects of GO/Ga nanocomposites on osteoblast differentiation and osteoclast formation were clarified. Moreover, an in vivo infectious microenvironment was established in a rat model of implant-related femoral osteomyelitis to determine the therapeutic efficacy and biosafety of GO/Ga nanocomposites. Our results indicate that GO/Ga nanocomposites with excellent antibacterial potency have evident osteogenic potential and inhibitory effects on osteoclast differentiation by modulating the BMP/Smad, MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. The in vivo experiments revealed that the administration of GO/Ga nanocomposites significantly inhibited bone infections, reduced osteolysis, promoted osseointegration located in implant-bone interfaces, and resulted in satisfactory biocompatibility. In summary, this synergistic therapeutic system could accelerate the bone healing process in implant-associated infections and can significantly guide the future surface modification of implants used in bacteria-infected environments. |
