Abstract
The application of titanium (Ti) implants for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is still facing a significant challenge due to obstacles such as hyperglycemia, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and chronic inflammation, which hinders osseointegration. To address this issue, a Ti implant with dual functions of regulating polarization of macrophages and facilitating osseointergration is developed via hydrothermal reaction and hydrogel coating. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glucose (Glu) responsive hydrogel coating can locally deliver adenosine (ADO) in the early stage of implantation. The controlled release of ADO regulated the phenotype of macrophages, restored oxidative balance, and enhanced mitochondrial function during the early stages of implantation. Subsequently, strontium (Sr) ions will be released to promote osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as the hydrogel coating degraded. It eventually leads to bone reconstruction during the late stages, aligning with the biological cascade of bone healing. The modified Ti implants showed effective osteogenesis for bone defects in DM patients, shedding light on the design and biological mechanisms of surface modification. This research offers promising potential for improving the treatment of bone-related complications in diabetic patients.

DNA Tetrahedron Delivering miR-21-5p Promotes Senescent Bone Defects Repair through Synergistic Regulation of Osteogenesis and Angiogenesis. Adv Healthc Mater 2024:e2401275. [PMID: 38979868 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202401275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
Compromised osteogenesis and angiogenesis is the character of stem cell senescence, which brought difficulties for bone defects repairing in senescent microenvironment. As the most abundant bone-related miRNA, miRNA-21-5p plays a crucial role in inducing osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation. However, highly efficient miR-21-5p delivery still confronts challenges including poor cellular uptake and easy degradation. Herein, TDN-miR-21-5p nanocomplex is constructed based on DNA tetrahedral (TDN) and has great potential in promoting osteogenesis and alleviating senescence of senescent bone marrow stem cells (O-BMSCs), simultaneously enhancing angiogenic capacity of senescent endothelial progenitor cells (O-EPCs). Of note, the activation of AKT and Erk signaling pathway may direct regulatory mechanism of TDN-miR-21-5p mediated osteogenesis and senescence of O-BMSCs. Also, TDN-miR-21-5p can indirectly mediate osteogenesis and senescence of O-BMSCs through pro-angiogenic growth factors secreted from O-EPCs. In addition, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels are mixed with TDN and TDN-miR-21-5p to fabricate delivery scaffolds. TDN-miR-21-5p@GelMA scaffold exhibits greater bone repair with increased expression of osteogenic- and angiogenic-related markers in senescent critical-size cranial defects in vivo. Collectively, TDN-miR-21-5p can alleviate senescence and induce osteogenesis and angiogenesis in senescent microenvironment, which provides a novel candidate strategy for senescent bone repair and widen clinical application of TDNs-based gene therapy.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent metabolic disease characterized by low systemic bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture, resulting in reduced bone strength and increased fracture risk. Current treatment options for osteoporosis are limited by factors such as efficacy, cost, availability, side effects, and acceptability to patients. Gold nanoparticles show promise as an emerging osteoporosis therapy due to their osteogenic effects and ability to allow therapeutic delivery but have inherent constraints, such as low specificity and the potential for heavy metal accumulation in the body. This study reports the synthesis of ultrasmall gold particles almost reaching the Ångstrom (Ång) dimension. The antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid (LA) is used as a dispersant and stabilizer to coat Ångstrom-scale gold particles (AuÅPs). Alendronate (AL), an amino-bisphosphonate commonly used in drug therapy for osteoporosis, is conjugated through LA to the surface of AuÅPs, allowing targeted delivery to bone and enhancing antiresorptive therapeutic effects. In this study, alendronate-loaded Ångstrom-scale gold particles (AuÅPs-AL) were used for the first time to promote osteogenesis and alleviate bone loss through regulation of the WNT signaling pathway, as shown through in vitro tests. The in vivo therapeutic effects of AuÅPs-AL were demonstrated in an established osteoporosis mouse model. The results of Micro-computed Tomography, histology, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining indicated that AuÅPs-AL significantly improved bone density and prevented bone loss, with no evidence of nanoparticle-associated toxicity. These findings suggest the possible future application of AuÅPs-AL in osteoporosis therapy and point to the potential of developing new approaches for treating metabolic bone diseases using Ångstrom-scale gold particles.

Abstract
Chemotherapy remains the primary treatment method for osteosarcoma after surgery. However, the lack of selectivity of chemotherapy for osteosarcoma leads to unpredictable therapeutic effects, undesirable side effects, and drug resistance. A platinum(IV) (PtIV ) prodrug amphiphile (ALN-PtIV -Lipo) covalently bound to alendronate (ALN) and a lipid tail is designed to overcome these limitations. ALN-PtIV -Lipo can self-assemble into PtIV lipid nanoparticles (APtIV ) for osteosarcoma targeting chemotherapy and bone destruction inhibition. It is demonstrated that APtIV achieved an eightfold increase in the eradication of osteosarcoma cells compared to cisplatin and threefold selective inhibition of osteosarcoma cells over breast cancer cells via APtIV in vitro. After intravenous injection, APtIV effectively accumulates at the osteosarcoma site in vivo, resulting in significantly suppressed primary osteosarcoma growth, and alleviation of bone destruction. Therefore, APtIV delivers a promising solution for enhanced chemotherapy targeting and bone destruction inhibition in osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Bone tissue constitutes 15-20% of human body weight and plays a crucial role in supporting the body, coordinating movement, regulating mineral homeostasis, and hematopoiesis. The maintenance of bone homeostasis relies on a delicate balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Osteoclasts, as the exclusive "bone resorbers" in the human skeletal system, are of paramount significance yet often receive inadequate attention. When osteoclast activity becomes excessive, it frequently leads to various bone metabolic disorders, subsequently resulting in secondary bone injuries, such as fractures. This not only reduces life quality of patients, but also imposes a significant economic burden on society. In response to the pressing need for biomaterials in the treatment of osteoclast dysregulation, there is a surge of research and investigations aimed at osteoclast regulation. Promising progress is achieved in this domain. This review seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to modulate osteoclast activities. It summarizes bioactive substances that influence osteoclasts and elucidates strategies for constructing related biomaterial systems. It offers practical insights and ideas for the development and application of biomaterials and tissue engineering, with the hope of guiding the clinical treatment of osteoclast-related bone diseases using biomaterials in the future.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) affects millions of people worldwide, especially postmenopausal women and the elderly. Although current available anti-OP agents can show promise in slowing down bone resorption, most are not specifically delivered to the hard tissue, causing significant toxicity. A bone-targeted nanodrug delivery system can reduce side effects and precisely deliver drug candidates to the bone. This review focuses on the progress of bone-targeted nanoparticles in OP therapy. We enumerate the existing OP medications, types of bone-targeted nanoparticles and categorize pairs of the most common bone-targeting functional groups. Finally, we summarize the potential use of bone-targeted nanoparticles in OP treatment. Ongoing research into the development of targeted ligands and nanocarriers will continue to expand the possibilities of OP-targeted therapies into clinical application.

Abstract
Despite advancements in therapeutic techniques, restoring bone tissue after damage remains a challenging task. Tissue engineering or targeted drug delivery solutions aim to meet the pressing clinical demand for treatment alternatives by creating substitute materials that imitate the structural and biological characteristics of healthy tissue. Polymers derived from natural sources typically exhibit enhanced biological compatibility and bioactivity when compared to manufactured polymers. Chitosan is a unique polysaccharide derived from chitin through deacetylation, offering biodegradability, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity. Its cationic charge sets it apart from other polymers, making it a valuable resource for various applications. Modifications such as thiolation, alkylation, acetylation, or hydrophilic group incorporation can enhance chitosan's swelling behavior, cross-linking, adhesion, permeation, controllable drug release, enzyme inhibition, and antioxidative properties. Chitosan scaffolds possess considerable potential for utilization in several biological applications. An intriguing application is its use in the areas of drug distribution and bone tissue engineering. Due to their excellent biocompatibility and lack of toxicity, they are an optimal material for this particular usage. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of osteoporosis, including its pathophysiology, current treatment options, the utilization of natural polymers in disease management, and the potential use of chitosan scaffolds for drug delivery systems aimed at treating the condition.

Abstract
Elimination of bacterial infections and simultaneously promoting osteogenic differentiation are highly required for infectious bone diseases. Massive reactive oxygen species (ROS) can damage cells, while low ROS concentrations as a molecular signal can regulate cellular fate. In this study, a Janus-ROS healing system is developed for infectious bone regeneration. An alendronate (ALN)-mediated defective metal-organic framework (MOF) sonosensitizer is prepared, which can effectively clear Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections and promote osteogenic differentiation under differential ultrasonic irradiation. In the presence of zirconium-phosphate coordination, the ALN-mediated porphyrin-based MOF (HN25) with a proper defect has great sonodynamic antibacterial efficiency (98.97%, 15 min) and bone-targeting ability. Notably, under low-power ultrasound irradiation, HN25 can increase the chromatin accessibility of ossification-related genes and FOXO1 to promote bone repair through low ROS concentrations. Animal models of paravertebral infection, fracture with infection, and osteomyelitis demonstrate that HN25 successfully realizes the targeted and potent repair of various infectious bone tissues through rapid MRSA elimination, inhibiting osteoclast activity and promoting bone regeneration. The results show that high catalytic efficiency and bioactive MOF can be constructed using pharmaceutical-mediated defect engineering. The Janus-ROS treatment is also a promising therapeutic mode for infectious tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, characterized by an imbalance in bone homeostasis, is a global health concern. Bone defects are difficult to heal in patients with osteoporosis. Classical drug treatments for osteoporotic bone defects have unsatisfactory efficacy owing to side effects and imprecise delivery problems. In this study, a magnetic aggregation-induced bone-targeting poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid, PLGA)-based nanocarrier (ZOL-PLGA@Yoda1/SPIO) is synthesized to realize dual-targeted delivery and precise Piezo1-activated therapy for osteoporotic bone defects. Piezo1 is an important mechanotransducer that plays a key role in regulating bone homeostasis. To achieve dual-targeting properties, ZOL-PLGA@Yoda1/SPIO is fabricated using zoledronate (ZOL)-decorated PLGA, superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO), and Piezo1-activated molecule Yoda1 via the emulsion solvent diffusion method. Bone-targeting molecular mediation and magnetic aggregation-induced properties can jointly and effectively achieve precise delivery to localized bone defects. Moreover, Yoda1 loading enables targeted and efficient mimicking of mechanical signals and activation of Piezo1. Experiments in vivo and in vitro demonstrate that ZOL-PLGA@Yoda1/SPIO can activate Piezo1 in bone defect areas of osteoporotic mice, improve osteogenesis through YAP/β-catenin signaling axis, promote a well-coordinated osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling, and significantly accelerate bone reconstruction within the defects without noticeable side effects. Overall, this novel dual-targeting nanocarrier provides a potentially effective strategy for the clinical treatment of osteoporotic bone defects.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023; 10:e2303567.

Abstract
Bone injuries such as fractures are one major cause of morbidities worldwide. A considerable number of fractures suffer from delayed healing, and the unresolved acute pain may transition to chronic and maladaptive pain. Current management of pain involves treatment with NSAIDs and opioids with substantial adverse effects. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that the purine molecule, adenosine, can simultaneously alleviate pain and promote healing in a mouse model of tibial fracture by targeting distinctive adenosine receptor subtypes in different cell populations. To achieve this, a biomaterial-assisted delivery of adenosine is utilized to localize and prolong its therapeutic effect at the injury site. The results demonstrate that local delivery of adenosine inhibited the nociceptive activity of peripheral neurons through activation of adenosine A1 receptor (ADORA1) and mitigated pain as demonstrated by weight bearing and open field movement tests. Concurrently, local delivery of adenosine at the fracture site promoted osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells through adenosine A2B receptor (ADORA2B) resulting in improved bone healing as shown by histological analyses and microCT imaging. This study demonstrates the dual role of adenosine and its material-assisted local delivery as a feasible therapeutic approach to treat bone trauma and associated pain.

Abstract
Radiotherapy remains a common treatment modality for cancer despite skeletal complications. However, there are currently no effective treatments for radiation-induced bone loss, and the consequences of radiotherapy on skeletal progenitor cell (SPC) survival and function remain unclear. After radiation, leptin receptor-expressing cells, which include a population of SPCs, become localized to hypoxic regions of the bone and stabilize the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α), thus suggesting a role for HIF-2α in the skeletal response to radiation. Here, we conditionally knocked out HIF-2α in leptin receptor-expressing cells and their descendants in mice. Radiation therapy in littermate control mice reduced bone mass; however, HIF-2α conditional knockout mice maintained bone mass comparable to nonirradiated control animals. HIF-2α negatively regulated the number of SPCs, bone formation, and bone mineralization. To test whether blocking HIF-2α pharmacologically could reduce bone loss during radiation, we administered a selective HIF-2α inhibitor called PT2399 (a structural analog of which was recently FDA-approved) to wild-type mice before radiation exposure. Pharmacological inhibition of HIF-2α was sufficient to prevent radiation-induced bone loss in a single-limb irradiation mouse model. Given that ~90% of patients who receive a HIF-2α inhibitor develop anemia because of off-target effects, we developed a bone-targeting nanocarrier formulation to deliver the HIF-2α inhibitor to mouse bone, to increase on-target efficacy and reduce off-target toxicities. Nanocarrier-loaded PT2399 prevented radiation-induced bone loss in mice while reducing drug accumulation in the kidney. Targeted inhibition of HIF-2α may represent a therapeutic approach for protecting bone during radiation therapy.

Abstract
Given the lack of timely evaluation of the well-received selenium fortification, a neat lateral-flow chromatographic solution was constructed here by using the recently identified urinary selenosugar (Sel) as a strongly indicative marker. As there are no ready-made receptors for this synthetic standard, phenylboronic acid (PBA) esterification and Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) affinity joined up to pinch and pin down the analyte into a sandwich-type glycol complex. Pilot lectin screening on homemade glycan microarrays verified such a new pairing between dual recognizers as PBA-Sel-DBA with a firm monosaccharide-binding constant. To quell the sample autofluorescence, europium nanoparticles with efficient long-life afterglow were employed as conjugating probes under 1 μs excitation. After systematic process optimizations, the prepared Sel-dipstick achieved swift and sensitive fluorometry over the physiological level of the target from 0.1 to 10 μM with a detection limit down to 0.06 μM. Further efforts were made to eliminate matrix effects from both temperature and pH via an approximate formula. Upon completion, the test strips managed to quantify the presence of Sel in not just imitated but real human urine, with comparable results to those in the references. As far as we know, this would be the first in-house prototype for user-friendly and facile diagnosis of Se nutrition with fair accuracy as well as selectivity. Future endeavors will be invested to model a more traceable Se-supplementary plan based on the rhythmic feedback of Sel excretion.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a pathological condition characterized by an accelerated bone resorption rate, resulting in decreased bone density and increased susceptibility to fractures, particularly among the elderly population. While conventional treatments for osteoporosis have shown efficacy, they are associated with certain limitations, including limited drug bioavailability, non-specific administration, and the occurrence of adverse effects. In recent years, nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach for managing osteoporosis. Nanoparticles possess unique physicochemical properties, such as a small size, large surface area-to-volume ratio, and tunable surface characteristics, which enable them to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies. These nanoparticles offer several advantages, including enhanced drug stability, controlled release kinetics, targeted bone tissue delivery, and improved drug bioavailability. This comprehensive review aims to provide insights into the recent advancements in nanoparticle-based therapy for osteoporosis. It elucidates the various types of nanoparticles employed in this context, including silica, polymeric, solid lipid, and metallic nanoparticles, along with their specific processing techniques and inherent properties that render them suitable as potential drug carriers for osteoporosis treatment. Furthermore, this review discusses the challenges and future suggestions associated with the development and translation of nanoparticle drug delivery systems for clinical use. These challenges encompass issues such as scalability, safety assessment, and regulatory considerations. However, despite these challenges, the utilization of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems holds immense promise in revolutionizing the field of osteoporosis management by enabling more effective and targeted therapies, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
Purinergic signaling is a key molecular pathway in the maintenance of bone health and regeneration. P1 receptor signaling, which is activated by extracellular adenosine, has emerged as a key metabolic pathway that regulates bone tissue formation, function, and homeostasis. Extracellular adenosine is mainly produced by ectonucleotidases, and alterations in the function of these enzymes or compromised adenosine generation can result in bone disorders, such as osteoporosis and impaired fracture healing. This mini review discusses the key role played by adenosine in bone health and how its alterations contribute to bone diseases, as well as potential therapeutic applications of exogenous adenosine to combat bone diseases like osteoporosis and injury.

Abstract
Targeted transfection of siRNA to preosteoclasts features the potential of anti-osteoporosis, yet challenge arises from the development of satisfied delivery vehicles. Here, we design a rational core-shell nanoparticle (NP) composed of cationic and responsive core for controlled load and release of small interfering RNA (siRNA) and compatible polyethylene glycol shell modified with alendronate for enhanced circulation and bone-targeted delivery of siRNA. The designed NPs perform well on transfection of an active siRNA (siDcstamp) that interferes Dcstamp mRNA expression, leading to impeded preosteoclast fusion and bone resorption, as well as promoted osteogenesis. In vivo results corroborate the abundant siDcstamp accumulation on bone surfaces and the enhanced trabecular bone mass volume and microstructure in treating osteoporotic OVX mice by rebalancing bone resorption, formation, and vascularization. Our study validates the hypothesis that satisfied transfection of siRNA enables preserved preosteoclasts that regulate bone resorption and formation simultaneously as potential anabolic treatment for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is caused by the disruption in homeostasis between bone formation and bone resorption. Conventional management of osteoporosis involves systematic drug administration and hormonal therapy. These treatment strategies have limited curative efficacy and multiple adverse effects. Biomaterials-based therapeutic strategies have recently emerged as promising alternatives for the treatment of osteoporosis. The present review summarizes the current status of biomaterials designed for managing osteoporosis. The advantages of biomaterials-based strategies over conventional systematic drug treatment are presented. Different anti-osteoporotic delivery systems are concisely addressed. These materials include injectable hydrogels and nanoparticles, as well as anti-osteoporotic bone tissue engineering materials. Fabrication techniques such as 3D printing, electrostatic spinning and artificial intelligence are appraised in the context of how the use of these adjunctive techniques may improve treatment efficacy. The limitations of existing biomaterials are critically analyzed, together with deliberation of the future directions in biomaterials-based therapies. The latter include discussion on the use of combination strategies to enhance therapeutic efficacy in the osteoporosis niche.

Abstract
Peiminine is a major biologically active component of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq that exhibits good anticancer, antiinflammatory, and anti-osteoclast effects. However, its effects on osteoporosis (OP) remain unknown. This study aimed to explore whether Peiminine was able to regulate osteogenesis and adipogenesis in ovariectomized (OVX) rat. The effects on the differentiation of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), function of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, ALP activity, calcium nodule deposition, as well as adipocyte formation in vitro by Peiminine at different concentrations, were detected. The curative effects of Peiminine on the ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis model by micro-CT and bone histomorphology assays were analyzed. The promotion of osteogenic differentiation and inhibition of adipogenic differentiation by Peiminine (5-40 μg/mL) was detected and the optimum concentration was 20 μg/mL. Mechanistically, Peiminine regulated the fate of BMSCs in vitro, and activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by restraining phosphorylation of β-catenin and promoting the nuclear translocation of β-catenin. Moreover, Peiminine prevented ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by alleviating trabecular bone loss and inhibiting adipose formation. Our data suggested that Peiminine could attenuate ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by alleviating trabecular bone loss and inhibiting adipose formation. These encouraging discoveries could lay the foundation for Peiminine to be a promising preventive treatment strategy for skeletal diseases, such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
Extracellular adenosine plays a key role in promoting bone tissue formation. Local delivery of adenosine could be an effective therapeutic strategy to harness the beneficial effect of extracellular adenosine on bone tissue formation following injury. Herein, we describe the development of an injectable in situ curing scaffold containing microgel-based adenosine delivery units. The two-component scaffold includes adenosine-loaded microgels and functionalized hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules. The microgels were generated upon copolymerization of 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid (3-APBA)- and 2-aminoethylmethacrylamide (2-AEMA)-conjugated HA (HA-AEMA) in an emulsion suspension. The PBA functional groups were used to load the adenosine molecules. Mixing of the microgels with the HA polymers containing clickable groups, dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) and azide (HA-DBCO and HA-Azide), resulted in a 3D scaffold embedded with adenosine delivery units. Application of the in situ curing scaffolds containing adenosine-loaded microgels following tibial fracture injury showed improved bone tissue healing in a mouse model as demonstrated by the reduced callus size, higher bone volume, and increased tissue mineral density compared to those treated with the scaffold without adenosine. Overall, our results suggest that local delivery of adenosine could potentially be an effective strategy to promote bone tissue repair.

Abstract
As bone biology develops, it is gradually recognized that bone regeneration is a pathophysiological process that requires the simultaneous participation of multiple systems. With the introduction of osteoimmunology, the interplay between the immune system and the musculoskeletal diseases has been the conceptual framework for a thorough understanding of both systems and the advancement of osteoimmunomodulaty biomaterials. Various therapeutic strategies which include intervention of the surface characteristics or the local delivery systems with the incorporation of bioactive molecules have been applied to create an ideal bone microenvironment for bone tissue regeneration. Our review systematically summarized the current research that is being undertaken in the field of osteoimmunomodulaty bone biomaterials on a case-by-case basis, aiming to inspire more extensive research and promote clinical conversion.

Abstract
Bone tissue undergoes continuous remodeling via osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoblast-mediated bone formation. An imbalance in this process with enhanced osteoclastic activity can lead to excessive bone resorption, resulting in bone thinning. Once activated, osteoclasts bind to the bone surface and acidify the local niche. This acidic environment could serve as a potential trigger for the delivery of therapeutic agents into the osteoporotic bone tissue. To this end, we developed a pH-responsive nanocarrier-based drug delivery system that binds to the bone tissue and delivers an osteoanabolic molecule, adenosine. Adenosine is incorporated into a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based nanocarrier through a pH-sensitive ketal group. The HA-nanocarrier is further functionalized with alendronate moieties to improve binding to the bone tissues. Systemic administration of the nanocarrier containing adenosine attenuated bone loss in ovariectomized mice and showed comparable bone qualities to that of healthy mice. Delivery of osteoanabolic small molecules that can contribute to bone formation and inhibit excessive osteoclast activity by leveraging the tissue-specific milieu could serve as viable therapeutics for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Adenosine (ADO) is an endogenous metabolite with immense potential to be repurposed as an immunomodulatory therapeutic, as preclinical studies have demonstrated in models of epilepsy, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and traumatic brain injury, among others. The currently licensed products Adenocard and Adenoscan are formulated at 3 mg/mL of ADO for rapid bolus intravenous injection, but the systemic administration of the saline formulations for anti-inflammatory purposes is limited by the nucleoside's profound hemodynamic effects. Moreover, concentrations that can be attained in the airway or the brain through direct instillation or injection are limited by the volumes that can be accommodated in the anatomical space (<5 mL in humans) and the rapid elimination by enzymatic and transport mechanisms in the interstitium (half-life <5 s). As such, highly concentrated formulations of ADO are needed to attain pharmacologically relevant concentrations at sites of tissue injury. Herein, we report a previously uncharacterized crystalline form of ADO (rcADO) in which 6.7 mg/mL of the nucleoside is suspended in water. Importantly, the crystallinity is not diminished in a protein-rich environment, as evidenced by resuspending the crystals in albumin (15% w/v). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of crystalline ADO generated using a facile and organic solvent-free method aimed at localized drug delivery. The crystalline suspension may be suitable for developing ADO into injectable formulations for attaining high concentrations of the endogenous nucleoside in inflammatory locales.

Abstract
Targeted delivery by either systemic or local targeting of therapeutics to the bone is an attractive treatment for various bone metabolism diseases such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, osteosarcoma, osteomyelitis, etc. To overcome the limitations of direct drug delivery, the combination of bone-targeted agents with nanotechnology has the opportunity to provide a more effective therapeutic approach, where engineered nanoparticles cause the drug to accumulate in the bone, thereby improving efficacy and minimizing side effects. Here, we summarize the current advances in systemic or local bone-targeting approaches and nanosystem applications in bone diseases, which may provide new insights into nanocarrier-delivered drugs for the targeted treatment of bone diseases. We envision that novel drug delivery carriers developed based on nanotechnology will be a potential vehicle for the treatment of currently incurable bone diseases and are expected to be translated into clinical applications.

Abstract
In recent years, much attention has been paid to the therapeutic effects of phytochemicals on osteoporosis. Other studies have shown that myricetin (MY) could promote osteogenic activity and inhibit osteoclastic effect, albeit little is known about effect of MY micellar system on osteoporosis. Therefore, we sought to discuss the therapeutic effect and mechanism of MY-loaded bone-targeting micelles on osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy (OVA) in rats. The AL-P(LLA-CL)-PEG-P(LLA-CL)-MY micelles were prepared via ethanol injection method, while in vitro release study, bone targeting, pharmacokinetic studies, and the effect on proliferation of osteoblasts were investigated. Further, the therapeutic effect on osteoporosis was studied through ovariectomized rats. Compared with free MY, oral bioavailability of AL-P(LLA-CL)-PEG-P(LLA-CL)-MY micelles in rats was increased by 3.54 times. The AL-P(LLA-CL)-PEG-P(LLA-CL)-MY micelles exhibited bone targeting potential, and could significantly increase the activity of alkaline phosphatase and promote the proliferation of osteoblasts. Importantly, AL-P(LLA-CL)-PEG-P(LLA-CL)-MY micelles mainly regulated bone metabolism by inhibiting bone resorption, thereby improving the symptoms of osteoporosis in OVA rats. The AL-P(LLA-CL)-PEG-P(LLA-CL)-MY micelles substantially enhanced the oral bioavailability of MY and demonstrated good bone targeting capability, thereby suggesting its prospect as carrier for osteoporotic improvement in OVA rats.

Abstract
Although engineered nanoparticles loaded with specific growth factors are used to regulate differentiation of stem cells, the low loading efficiency and biocompatibility are still great challenges in tissue repair. A nature-inspired biomimetic delivery system with targeted functions is attractive for enhancing cell activity and controlling cell fate. Herein, a stem cell membrane (SCM)-wrapped dexamethasone (DEX)-loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is constructed, which integrates the synthetic nanomaterials with native plasma membrane, to achieve efficient DEX delivery and DEX-mediated bone repair. The DEX@ZIF-8-SCM enables high DEX loading capacity, modulates the sustained release, and facilitates the specific uptake of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), owing to the porous property of ZIF-8 and the innate targeting capability of SCM. The endocytosed DEX@ZIF-8-SCM shows high cytocompatibility and greatly enhances the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing data reveal that the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt signaling pathways are activated and dominantly involved in the accelerated osteogenesis. In the bone defect model, the administrated DEX@ZIF-8-SCM exerts excellent biocompatibility and effectively promotes bone regeneration. Overall, the SCM-derived biomimetic nanoplatform achieves targeted delivery, excellent biosafety, and enhanced osteogenic differentiation and bone repair, which provides a new and valid strategy for treating various tissue injuries.

Abstract
Background Accumulating evidence indicates that high-fat diet (HFD) is a controllable risk factor for osteoporosis, but the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. As a primary biological barrier for nutrient entry into the human body, the composition and function of gut microbiota (GM) can be altered rapidly by HFD, which may trigger abnormal bone metabolism. In the current study, we analyzed the signatures of GM and serum metabolomics in HFD-induced bone loss and explored the potential correlations of GM and serum metabolites on HFD-related bone loss. Methods We conducted a mouse model with HFD-induced bone loss through a 12-week diet intervention. Micro-CT, Osmium-μCT, and histological analyses were used to observe bone microstructure and bone marrow adipose tissue. Quantitative Real-Time PCR was applied to analyze gene expression related to osteogenesis, adipogenesis, and osteoclastogenesis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the biochemical markers of bone turnover. 16s rDNA sequencing was employed to analyze the abundance of GM, and UHPLC-MS/MS was used to identify serum metabolites. Correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationships among bone phenotypes, GM, and the metabolome. Results HFD induced bone loss accompanied by bone marrow adipose tissue expansion and bone formation inhibition. In the HFD group, the relative abundance of Firmicutes was increased significantly, while Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, Epsilonbacteraeota, and Patescibacteria were decreased compared with the ND group. Association analysis showed that thirty-two bacterial genera were significantly related to bone volume per tissue volume (BV/TV). One hundred and forty-five serum metabolites were identified as differential metabolites associated with HFD intervention, which were significantly enriched in five pathways, such as purine metabolism, regulation of lipolysis in adipocyte and cGMP-PKG signaling pathway. Sixty-four diffiential metabolites were matched to the MS2 spectra; and ten of them were positively correlated with BV/TV and five were negatively correlated with BV/TV. Conclusions These findings indicated that the alternations of GM and serum metabolites were related to HFD-induced bone loss, which might provide new insights into explain the occurrence and development of HFD-related osteoporosis. The regulatory effects of GM and metabolites associated with HFD on bone homeostasis required further exploration.
