BMSCs-laden mechanically reinforced bioactive sodium alginate composite hydrogel microspheres for minimally invasive bone repair. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 332:121933. [PMID: 38431401 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.121933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Minimally invasive, efficient, and satisfactory treatment for irregular and lacunar bone defects is still a challenge. Alginate hydrogels serve as promising stem cell (SC) delivery systems for bone regeneration but are limited by low cellular viability, poor osteogenic differentiation, and insufficient mechanical support. Herein, we developed a BMSCs-laden mechanically reinforced bioactive sodium alginate composite hydrogel microspheres (BCHMs) system via a microfluidic method that possesses 1) a uniform size and good injectability to meet clinical bone defects with complex shapes, 2) high cellular viability maintenance and further osteogenic induction capacity, and 3) improved mechanical properties. As the main matrix, the sodium alginate hydrogel maintains the high viability of encapsulated BMSCs and efficient substance exchange. Enhanced mechanical properties and osteogenic differentiation of the BCHMs in vitro were observed with xonotlite (Ca6Si6O17(OH)2, CSH) nanowires incorporated. Furthermore, BCHMs with 12.5 % CSH were injected into rat femoral bone defects, and satisfactory in situ regeneration outcomes were observed. Overall, it is believed that BCHMs expand the application of polysaccharide science and provide a promising injectable bone substitute for minimally invasive bone repair.

[PMID: 38112849 PMCID: PMC10730791 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-023-03943-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
The nanosystems for delivering drugs which have evolved with time, are being designed for greater drug efficiency and lesser side-effects, and are also complemented by the advancement of numerous innovative materials. In comparison to the organic nanoparticles, the inorganic nanoparticles are stable, have a wide range of physicochemical, mechanical, magnetic, and optical characteristics, and also have the capability to get modified using some ligands to enrich their attraction towards the molecules at the target site, which makes them appealing for bio-imaging and drug delivery applications. One of the strong benefits of using the inorganic nanoparticles-drug conjugate is the possibility of delivering the drugs to the affected cells locally, thus reducing the side-effects like cytotoxicity, and facilitating a higher efficacy of the therapeutic drug. This review features the direct and indirect effects of such inorganic nanoparticles like gold, silver, graphene-based, hydroxyapatite, iron oxide, ZnO, and CeO2 nanoparticles in developing effective drug carrier systems. This article has remarked the peculiarities of these nanoparticle-based systems in pulmonary, ocular, wound healing, and antibacterial drug deliveries as well as in delivering drugs across Blood-Brain-Barrier (BBB) and acting as agents for cancer theranostics. Additionally, the article sheds light on the plausible modifications that can be carried out on the inorganic nanoparticles, from a researcher's perspective, which could open a new pathway.

Regulatory Effects of Quercetin on Bone Homeostasis: Research Updates and Future Perspectives. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CHINESE MEDICINE 2023; 51:2077-2094.

Abstract
The imbalance of bone homeostasis has become a major public medical problem amid the background of an aging population, which is closely related to the occurrence of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and fractures. Presently, most drugs used in the clinical treatment of bone homeostasis imbalance are bisphosphonates, calcitonin, estrogen receptor modulators, and biological agents that inhibit bone resorption or parathyroid hormone analogs that promote bone formation. However, there are many adverse reactions. Therefore, it is necessary to explore potential drugs. Quercetin, as a flavonol compound with various biological activities, is widely distributed in plants. Studies have found that quercetin can regulate bone homeostasis through multiple pathways and targets. An in-depth exploration of the pharmacological mechanism of quercetin is of great significance for the development of new drugs. This review discusses the therapeutic mechanisms of quercetin on bone homeostasis, such as regulating the expression of long non-coding RNA, signaling pathways of bone metabolism, various types of programmed cell death, bone nutrients supply pathways, anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and activation of Sirtuins. We also summarize recent progress in improving quercetin bioavailability and propose some issues worth paying attention to, which may help guide future research efforts.
