Abstract
Healing bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains greatly challenging via biomaterial strategies. Given the unsuccessful innate bone erosion healing due to an inflammatory disorder, over-activated osteoclasts, and impaired osteoblasts differentiation, RA pathogenesis-guided engineering of an innovative hydrogel platform is needed for remodeling osteoimmune and osteogenic microenvironment of bone erosion healing. Herein, in situ adaptable and injectable interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel is developed through an ingenious combination of a bio-orthogonal reaction between hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen, along with effective electrostatic interactions leveraging bisphosphonate (BP)-functionalized HA macromers (HABP) and nanorod shaped zinc (Zn)-doped biphasic calcium phosphate (ZnBCP). IPN hydrogel exhibits exceptional adaptability to the local shape complexity at bone erosions, and by integrating ZnBCP and HABP, a multi-stage releasing platform is engineered, facilitating controlled cargo delivery for remodeling more anti-inflammatory M2 cells and reducing over-activated osteoclastic activities, thereby reconstructing the bone regeneration microenvironment. Sustainedly co-delivering multiple ions (calcium and phosphate) can display excellent osteogenic properties and be conducive to the bone formation process, by effects of osteogenesis-associated cell differentiation. Overall, the introduced bioactive IPN hydrogel therapy remodels the osteoimmune environment by synergistic pro-inflammation-resolving, osteogenesis, and anti-osteoclastic activities, displaying excellent bone reconstruction in the collagen-induced arthritis rabbit model.

Abstract
DNA origami is a cutting-edge nanotechnology approach that creates precise and detailed 2D and 3D nanostructures. The crucial feature of DNA origami is how it is created, which enables precise control over its size and shape. Biocompatibility, targetability, programmability, and stability are further advantages that make it a potentially beneficial technique for a variety of applications. The preclinical studies of sophisticated programmable nanomedicines and nanodevices that can precisely respond to particular disease-associated triggers and microenvironments have been made possible by recent developments in DNA origami. These stimuli, which are endogenous to the targeted disorders, include protein upregulation, pH, redox status, and small chemicals. Oncology has traditionally been the focus of the majority of past and current research on this subject. Therefore, in this comprehensive review, we delve into the intricate world of DNA origami, exploring its defining features and capabilities. This review covers the fundamental characteristics of DNA origami, targeting DNA origami to cells, cellular uptake, and subcellular localization. Throughout the review, we emphasised on elucidating the imperative for such a therapeutic platform, especially in addressing the complexities of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Moreover, we explore the vast potential inherent in DNA origami technology, envisioning its promising role in the realm of CVD treatment and beyond.

Arch Oral Biol 2024; 159:105875.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the outcomes of several rodent animal models for studying tooth extraction-related medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). DESIGN After a search of the databases, 2004 articles were located, and 118 corroborated the inclusion factors (in vivo studies in rodents evaluating tooth extraction as a risk factor for the development of MRONJ). RESULTS Numerous studies attempting to establish an optimal protocol to induce MRONJ were found. Zoledronic acid (ZA) was the most used drug, followed by alendronate (ALN). Even when ZA did not lead to the development of MRONJ, its effect compromised the homeostasis of the bone and soft tissue. The association of other risk factors (dexamethasone, diabetes, and tooth-related inflammatory dental disease) besides tooth extraction also played a role in the development of MRONJ. In addition, studies demonstrated a relationship between cumulative dose and MRONJ. CONCLUSIONS Both ZA and ALN can lead to MRONJ in rodents when equivalent human doses (in osteoporosis or cancer treatment) are used. Local oral risk factors and tooth-related inflammatory dental disease increase the incidence of MRONJ in a tooth extraction-related rodent model.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The application of DNA framework nucleic acid materials in the biomedical field has witnessed continual expansion. Among them, tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) have gained significant traction as the foremost biological vectors due to their superior attributes of editability, low immunogenicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. tFNAs have demonstrated promising results in numerous in vitro and in vivo applications. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes the latest research on tFNAs in drug delivery, including a discussion of the advantages of tFNAs in regulating biological behaviors, and highlights the updated development and advantageous applications of tFNAs-based nanostructures from static design to dynamically responsive design. EXPERT OPINION tFNAs possess distinct biological regulatory attributes and can be taken up by cells without the requirement of transfection, differentiating them from other biological vectors. tFNAs can be easily physically/chemically modified and seamlessly incorporated with other functional systems. The static design of the tFNAs-based drug delivery system makes it versatile, reproducible, and predictable. Further use of the dynamic response mechanism of DNA to external stimuli makes tFNAs-based drug delivery more effective and specific, improving the uptake and utilization of the payload by the intended target. Dynamic targeting is poised to become the future primary approach for drug delivery.

Carbon Dots from Lycium barbarum Attenuate Radiation-Induced Bone Injury by Inhibiting Senescence via METTL3/Clip3 in an m 6A-Dependent Manner. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:20726-20741.

Abstract
Radiation-induced bone injury management remains a challenge in clinical practice, and there is no effective medicine. Recently, biomass-derived carbon dots (CDs) have attracted attention in biomedical engineering due to the advantages of abundant heteroatoms, low toxicity, and no need to drug loading. Here, we report that CDs, synthesized from Lycium barbarum via hydrothermal strategy, can effectively alleviate radiation-induced bone injury. CCK-8, apoptosis analysis, β-galactosidase staining, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and western blots demonstrate that CDs can mediate radiation-induced damage and senescence of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). CDs regulate osteogenic- and adipogenic-balance after irradiation, shown by alizarin red and oil red O staining. In vivo experiments reveal that CDs prevent the occurrence of osteoradionecrosis in rats, demonstrated by micro-CT and histology examination. The osseointegration of titanium implants installed in irradiated bone is promoted by CDs. Mechanistically, CDs increase the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) level of irradiated BMSCs via the increased methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3). High-throughput sequencing facilitates detection of increased m6A levels located in the 3'-untranslated regions (UTR) of the CAP-Gly domain containing linker protein 3 (Clip3) mRNA. The dual-luciferase reporter assay shows that 3'UTR is the direct target of METTL3. Subsequently, the increased m6A modification led to enhanced degradation of mRNA and downregulated CLIP3 expression, eventually resulting in the alleviation of radiation-induced bone injury. Interfering with the METTL3/Clip3 axis can antagonize the effect of CDs, indicating that CDs mediate radiation-induced bone injury via the METTL3/Clip3 axis. Taken together, CDs from L. barbarum alleviate radiation-induced bone injury by inhibiting senescence via regulation of m6A modification of Clip3. The present study paves a new pathway for the management of radiation-induced bone injury.

Abstract
With the emergence of DNA nanotechnology in the 1980s, self-assembled DNA nanostructures have attracted considerable attention worldwide due to their inherent biocompatibility, unsurpassed programmability, and versatile functions. Especially promising nanostructures are tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs), first proposed by Turberfield with the use of a one-step annealing approach. Benefiting from their various merits, such as simple synthesis, high reproducibility, structural stability, cellular internalization, tissue permeability, and editable functionality, tFNAs have been widely applied in the biomedical field as three-dimensional DNA nanomaterials. Surprisingly, tFNAs exhibit positive effects on cellular biological behaviors and tissue regeneration, which may be used to treat inflammatory and degenerative diseases. According to their intended application and carrying capacity, tFNAs could carry functional nucleic acids or therapeutic molecules through extended sequences, sticky-end hybridization, intercalation, and encapsulation based on the Watson and Crick principle. Additionally, dynamic tFNAs also have potential applications in controlled and targeted therapies. This review summarized the latest progress in pure/modified/dynamic tFNAs and demonstrated their regenerative medicine applications. These applications include promoting the regeneration of the bone, cartilage, nerve, skin, vasculature, or muscle and treating diseases such as bone defects, neurological disorders, joint-related inflammatory diseases, periodontitis, and immune diseases.

Abstract
The intricate dynamic feedback mechanisms involved in bone homeostasis provide valuable inspiration for the design of smart biomaterial scaffolds to enhance in situ bone regeneration. In this work, we assembled a biomimetic hyaluronic acid nanocomposite hydrogel (HA-BP hydrogel) by coordination bonds with bisphosphonates (BPs), which are antiosteoclastic drugs. The HA-BP hydrogel exhibited expedited release of the loaded BP in response to an acidic environment. Our in vitro studies showed that the HA-BP hydrogel inhibits mature osteoclastic differentiation of macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells via the released BP. Furthermore, the HA-BP hydrogel can support the initial differentiation of primary macrophages to preosteoclasts, which are considered essential during bone regeneration, whereas further differentiation to mature osteoclasts is effectively inhibited by the HA-BP hydrogel via the released BP. The in vivo evaluation showed that the HA-BP hydrogel can enhance the in situ regeneration of bone. Our work demonstrates a promising strategy to design biomimetic biomaterial scaffolds capable of regulating bone homeostasis to promote bone regeneration. HA-BP hydrogel can mediate the expedited release of BP in response to the acidic microenvironment created by osteoclasts. HA-BP hydrogel supports preosteoclastic differentiation, but inhibits the further osteoclastic maturation. The implantation of HA-BP hydrogel in critical-sized bone defects significantly promotes in situ bone regeneration in vivo.

Tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) are molecules with a pyramidal structure formed by folding four single strands of DNA based on the principle of base pairing. Although DNA has polyanionic properties, the special spatial structure of TDNs allows them to penetrate the cell membrane without the aid of transfection agents in a caveolin-dependent manner and enables them to participate in the regulation of cellular processes without obvious toxic side effects. Because of their stable spatial structure, TDNs resist the limitations imposed by nuclease activity and innate immune responses to DNA. In addition, TDNs have good editability and biocompatibility, giving them great advantages for biomedical applications. Previous studies have found that TDNs have a variety of biological properties, including promoting cell migration, proliferation and differentiation, as well as having anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-infective and immune regulation capabilities. Moreover, we confirmed that TDNs can promote the regeneration and repair of skin, blood vessels, muscles and bone tissues. Based on these findings, we believe that TDNs have broad prospects for application in wound repair and regeneration. This article reviews recent progress in TDN research and its applications.

Abstract
DNA, a genetic material, has been employed in different scientific directions for various biological applications as driven by DNA nanotechnology in the past decades, including tissue regeneration, disease prevention, inflammation inhibition, bioimaging, biosensing, diagnosis, antitumor drug delivery, and therapeutics. With the rapid progress in DNA nanotechnology, multitudinous DNA nanomaterials have been designed with different shape and size based on the classic Watson-Crick base-pairing for molecular self-assembly. Some DNA materials could functionally change cell biological behaviors, such as cell migration, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, autophagy, and anti-inflammatory effects. Some single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs) or RNAs with secondary structures via self-pairing, named aptamer, possess the ability of targeting, which are selected by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) and applied for tumor targeted diagnosis and treatment. Some DNA nanomaterials with three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures and stable structures are investigated as drug carrier systems to delivery multiple antitumor medicine or gene therapeutic agents. While the functional DNA nanostructures have promoted the development of the DNA nanotechnology with innovative designs and preparation strategies, and also proved with great potential in the biological and medical use, there is still a long way to go for the eventual application of DNA materials in real life. Here in this review, we conducted a comprehensive survey of the structural development history of various DNA nanomaterials, introduced the principles of different DNA nanomaterials, summarized their biological applications in different fields, and discussed the current challenges and further directions that could help to achieve their applications in the future.

The immune regulatory effects of tetrahedral framework nucleic acid on human T cells via the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Cell Prolif 2021; 54:e13084.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Autoimmune diseases are a heterogeneous group of diseases which lose the immunological tolerance to self-antigens. It is well recognized that irregularly provoked T cells participate in the pathological immune responses. As a novel nanomaterial with promising applications, tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (TFNA) nanostructure was found to have immune regulatory effects on T cells in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS To verify the successful fabrication of TFNA, the morphology of TFNA was observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and dynamic light scattering. The regulatory effect of TFNA was evaluated by flow cytometry after cocultured with CD3+ T cells isolated from healthy donors. Moreover, the associated signaling pathways were investigated. Finally, we verified our results on the T cells from patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), which is a typical autoimmune disease induced by T cells. RESULTS We revealed the alternative regulatory functions of TFNA in human primary T cells with steady status via the JNK signaling pathway. Moreover, by inhibiting both JNK and ERK phosphorylation, TFNA exhibited significant suppressive effects on IFNγ secretion from provoking T cells without affecting TNF secretion. Similar immune regulatory effects of TFNA were also observed in autoreactive T cells from patients with NMOSD. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our results revealed a potential application of TFNA in regulating the adaptive immune system, as well as shed a light on the treatment of T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Poor penetrability and nonselective distribution of chemotherapeutic drugs are the main obstacles for chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In our work, we developed a DNA-based drug delivery system to surmount these barriers. In addition, a tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA) was employed to load doxorubicin (DOX) with iRGD decoration to form a novel nanoparticle (tFNA/DOX@iRGD). The RGD sequence and the CendR motif in iRGD are used in tumor targeting and tissue penetration, respectively. Based on the sustained serum stability and pH-sensitive release behavior of DOX, tFNA/DOX@iRGD exhibited superiority for biomedical application. Moreover, tFNA/DOX@iRGD showed excellent deep penetration and drug accumulation in three-dimensional (3D) multicellular tumor spheroids compared to DOX and tFNA/DOX. Additionally, the therapeutic effect was verified in a 4T1 subcutaneous tumor model, and the complexes displayed a superior antitumor and antiangiogenic efficiency with fewer collateral damages. Therefore, these findings suggested that tFNA/DOX@iRGD might be a more effective pattern for drug delivery and TNBC therapy.

Abstract
The past decades have witnessed the development of DNA nanotechnology and the emergence of various spatial DNA nanostructures, from two-dimensions to three-dimensions. The typical example is the tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA). In this review, we summarize the progress in fabrication, modification of tFNA-based functional systems and their potentials in biomedical applications. Through a one-step assembly process, tFNA is synthesized via four single stranded DNAs with three short sequences complementary to the other sequence of another single strand. Characterizations including polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, atomic force microscopy, and dynamic light scattering measurement show tFNA as a pyramid-like nanostructure with the size of around 10 nm. Feathered with intrinsic biocompatibility and satisfactory cellular membrane permeability, the first generation of tFNA shows promising capacities in regulating cell biological behavior, promoting tissue regeneration, and immunomodulation. Along with excellent editability and relative biostability in complicated conditions, tFNA could be modified via hanging functional domains on the vertex or side arm and incorporating small-molecular-weight drugs to form the second generation, for reversing multidrug resistance in tumor cells or microorganisms, target therapy, anticancer and antibacterial treatments. The third generation of tFNA is currently tried via a multistep assembly process for stimuli-response and precise drug release. Although tFNAs show promising potentials in cargo delivery, massive efforts still need to be made to improve biostability, maximal load, and structural controllability.
