Abstract
Silicon-modified biomaterials have been extensively studied in bone tissue engineering. In recent years, the toxicity of silicon-doped biomaterials has gradually attracted attention but requires further elucidation. This study was designed to explore whether high-dose silicate can induce a cytotoxicity effect in bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and the role of autophagy in its cytotoxicity and mechanism.
Morphologic changes and cell viability of BMSCs were detected after different doses of silicate exposure. Autophagic proteins (LC3, p62), LC3 turnover assay, and RFP-GFP-LC3 assay were applied to detect the changes of autophagic flux following silicate treatment. Furthermore, to identify the potential mechanism of autophagic dysfunction, we tested the acetyl-α-tubulin protein level and histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) activity after high-dose silicate exposure as well as the changes in microtubule and autophagic activity after HDAC6 siRNA was applied.
It was found that a high dose of silicate could induce a decrease in cell viability; LC3-II and p62 simultaneously increased after high-dose silicate exposure. A high concentration of silicate could induce autophagic dysfunction and cause autophagosomes to accumulate via microtubule destabilization. Results showed that acetyl-α-tubulin decreased significantly with high-dose silicate treatment, and inhibition of HDAC6 activity can restore microtubule structure and autophagic flux.
Microtubule destabilization caused by a high concentration of silicate via HDAC6 activation contributed to autophagic dysfunction in BMSCs, and inhibition of HDAC6 exerted a cytoprotection effect through restoration of the microtubule structure and autophagic flux.

BMSCs play an important role in the process of bone growth, development, and repair and are indispensable to bone formation. BMSCs act both as an important source of osteoblasts and in the synthesis and secretion of various growth factors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]. Silicate-doped biomaterials can induce the differentiation of BMSCs and enhance bone formation in a certain range [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. In recent years, the cytotoxicity of silicate-doped biomaterials has gradually attracted attention, and studies have found that silicate-doped bioceramics could promote the caspase-dependent apoptosis of macrophages via altering the ionic microenvironment between the implants and hosts [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]. In clinical practice, it was found that primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) using bioactive bone cement (SiO<sub>2</sub> 34.0%) showed an early radiological loosening after long-term follow-up, and the mechanism still remained unclear [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]; several researches identified that intracortical silicon microelectrode implants could cause blood-cerebral barrier dysfunction and neuronal cell loss [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>]. Moreover, studies have confirmed that a high concentration of silicate could inhibit the viability of human BMSCs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>]. Our previous study also identified that a high concentration of silicate could induce autophagic flux blockage and cellular apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. However, whether silicate has a cytotoxic effect on BMSCs and its mechanism remains to be further studied. Furthermore, silicon ion concentrations in different biomaterials range from 0.03 mM at the lowest up to 50 mM at the highest [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>]. Silicon is a trace element in the human body, and the silicon content of most implants is significantly higher than the normal range of the human body; the potential toxicity of silicate cannot be ignored, and its logical range in BMSCs still needs further identification [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>].</p><p id="Par13">Autophagy is a functionally and evolutionarily preserved process that degrades and recycles harmful proteins or injured organelles in eukaryotic cells [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>]. Autophagy broadly includes macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy. This study mainly focuses on macroautophagy, which is also the most studied. Autophagy is an adaptive response to maintain cell homeostasis and survival in the face of adverse environmental threats or stress. Disruption of autophagy can induce cells to self-repair disorders and further fall into apoptosis or necrosis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>]. Moreover, Yang et al. have found that activation of autophagy could partially reverse the aging of BMSCs and increase osteogenic differentiation capacity; furthermore, autophagy could maintain the osteogenic differentiation ability of mesenchymal stem cells under adverse conditions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>].</p><p id="Par14">At present, there is no systematic report on the effect of soluble silicate on autophagy.

Whether autophagy is related to silicon ions remains to be further studied. Here, based on the treatment of BMSCs with different concentrations of sodium metasilicate representing silicon ions, the effect of free silicate on autophagy was determined through the detection of autophagy flux. Simultaneously, a reference was provided to clarify the reasonable and safe range of silicon ions in BMSC-related biomaterials.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2"><title>Methods</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Reagents and antibodies</title><p id="Par15">Chloroquine (CQ) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA).

BMSCs are indispensable in the process of bone formation and play an accelerative role in promoting angiogenesis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>]. Biocompatibility of biomaterials with the host microenvironment plays a crucial role in maintaining the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of BMSCs. Silicon is a kind of trace element in the human body and is especially important for bone growth and development [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>]. Extensive studies have confirmed that silicon-based biomaterials can not only promote osteogenesis formation but also stimulate angiogenesis via BMSC interaction [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>]. In recent years, an increasing number of researchers have paid attention to the cytotoxic mechanisms of silicon-doped materials; whether silicon nanomaterials or high concentration of free silicate, both can affect the cell viability to some extent [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>]. In this study, it was found that treating BMSCs with a high concentration of soluble silicate could affect the viability of BMSCs and cause the interruption of autophagic flux of BMSCs, and the interruption of autophagic flux was related to the destabilization of microtubule structure. Furthermore, microtubule destabilization caused by silicate was induced by HDAC6 activation via α-tubulin histone deacetylation.</p><p id="Par37">Autophagy is a self-protective mechanism of cells under stress. The interruption of autophagic flux can further cause a large accumulation of autophagosomes, leading to an imbalance of cell homeostasis. On the one hand, damaged organelles inside cells cannot be removed, especially mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, which can directly trigger apoptosis; on the other hand, the interruption of the cell energy cycle leads to an energy crisis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>]. In this study, it was found that a high concentration of silicate can lead to a simultaneous increase of LC3-II and p62; LC3-II is the marker protein of autophagosomes, while p62 protein can bridge the binding of ubiquitination protein and LC3 to promote clearance of the targeted ubiquitination protein through autophagic flux; the simultaneous increase of both often indicates the interruption of autophagy flux [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>]. Furthermore, we detected the LC3-II and p62 expression with LC3 turnover test via CQ and Baf A1 application. The data confirmed that a high concentration of silicate could lead to disruption of the autophagic flux (>1.5 mM), causing a large accumulation of autophagosomes via LC3 fluorescence detection. Accordingly, the cell viability test found that with a further increase in the high concentration of silicate, the intracellular silicon increased, and cell viability gradually decreased, suggesting that the interruption of autophagic flux may affect cell viability [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>].</p><p id="Par38">Autophagic flux is the process of the formation of autophagosomes within cells and eventual fusion with lysosomes. The regulation of autophagic flux involves various molecules and microstructures, among which the function of the lysosome is of vital importance and is the key point for the smooth flux of autophagy. Lyso-tracker is a lysosomal fluorescent probe that can selectively remain in acidic lysosomes, thus achieving specific fluorescent labeling of living cell lysosomes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>]. Our study indicated that a high concentration of silicate did not affect the acidic environment in lysosomes; moreover, CQ and Baf A1 were set as the positive control groups, and the study further confirmed that high-concentration silicate may interfere with autophagy flux in a way similar to CQ. Mauthe et al. found that the autophagic flux blocking mechanism of CQ and Baf A1 may not be the same: Baf A1 blocks autophagic flux mainly by altering lysosomal function, whereas CQ blocks the activity of autophagic flux by affecting membrane fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>], which further suggests that a high concentration of soluble silicate may disrupt autophagic flux by affecting membrane fusion. In addition, we found that the expression of LAMP1 and LAMP2, two lysosomal membrane proteins [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>], was increased after exposure to silicate. The inhibition of autophagy may promote lysosomal synthesis through a feedback mechanism that needs further research. We further investigated the protein and gene expression of membrane fusion assistance proteins including SNAP29, VAMP8, and STX17 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>]. The results showed that the silicate did not affect the expression of these proteins. However, it is still uncertain whether silicate can interfere with the protein interaction of different membrane fusion assistance proteins; this topic needs further study.</p><p id="Par39">Microtubule structure plays an important role as a bridge in the combination of autophagosomes and lysosomes. In recent years, numerous studies have identified that hyperacetylation of α-tubulin is necessary for the stimulation of autophagy. It was found that a decrease in α-tubulin acetylation induced by an acidic environment inhibited autophagic activity and induced rat cardiomyocyte injury [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">41</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">43</xref>]. Wang et al. reported that rats with silicosis caused by silica solution (50 mg/rat, 1 ml) via trachea instillation displayed a significant decrease in the expression of acetyl-α-tubulin. This loss of deacetylation was associated with activation of HDAC6 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">44</xref>]; thus, we further detected changes in the microtubule structure as well as hyperacetylation of α-tubulin. We demonstrated that the microtubule structure was obviously disordered after the intervention of high-concentration silicate in BMSCs. It was found that acetyl-α-tubulin, which maintained microtubule homeostasis, was significantly reduced, which also preliminarily suggested that a high concentration of silicate might affect the acetylation of microtubule proteins, further leading to the disintegration of microtubules and thereby blocking the trafficking of autophagosomes to lysosomes. α-Tubulin acetylated modification was regulated by HDAC6 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">45</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">46</xref>], and our further research also confirmed that a high concentration of silicate can promote the expression of HDAC6. After using siRNA to interfere with HDAC6 expression, α-tubulin acetylation was enhanced significantly compared with silicate treatment alone, and the microtubule structure was also partially recovered with more beam-like divergent structures. We then verified that autophagic flux was partially restored with reduced autophagosome accumulation via inhibiting HDAC6 expression. Simultaneously, cell viability increased significantly via HDAC6 suppression after high-dose silicate exposure, which indicated that the combination with siHDAC6 may provide a feasible way to protect BMSCs from the toxicity of high silicate exposure.</p><p id="Par40">Silicate, as a representative of silicon ions, has been widely used in bone regeneration engineering. However, the concentration of silicate used in biomaterials is often several times or even hundreds of times higher than the normal range in human serum (85–130 μg/l) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>]. This study, from the perspective of autophagy, redefines the safety range of silicate in biomaterials research for BMSCs. In brief, a high concentration of silicate intra-cell can enhance the activity of HDAC6; subsequently, microtubule depolymerized due to the reduction of acetyl-α-tubulin, and silicate may interfere with autophagic flux activity via disturbing the stability of microtubule when the concentration exceeds 1.5 mM (Fig. <xref rid="Fig9" ref-type="fig">9</xref>). Autophagy generally occurs earlier than cell apoptosis, which preliminarily suggests that the reasonable application of the autophagic flux test for biomaterials is of great importance. For BMSC-related studies, biomaterials containing silicon shall not exceed a concentration of 1.5 mM, and the autophagic flux test should be set as a reference indicator for biocompatibility and safety detection. Of course, the reasonable application range of different biomaterials or different organisms should be treated separately in vivo and in vitro, and this requires further exploration and discussion.
