In this study, a novel bone-targeted nanomedicine was developed for the treatment of osteoporosis. The nanomedicine demonstrated dual functions of directing bone attachment and capturing sclerostin with high affinity. The results showed that the nanomedicine significantly reversed serum levels of sclerostin and bone loss associated with osteoporosis, improving bone histomorphology parameters and mechanical properties in the femur. Furthermore, the therapeutic effect of the nanomedicine was superior to the gold standard drug alendronate, while requiring only 25% of the systemic dose.
Bone-targeted drug delivery to reduce systemic complications and maintain sufficient doses in bone tissues is the main challenge for osteoporosis treatment. Here, we develop a novel, and simply synthesized bone targeting nanomedicine (DNA-MSN, DNAM) containing a PEGylated dendritic mesoporous silica nano particle (MSN) core (65 nm) and an anti-sclerostin aptamer (Aptscl56) layer, to treat osteoporosis. The nanoparticle core protects the immobilized Aptscl56 from rapid nuclease degradation and renal filtration, prolonging in vivo half-lives. The DNAM-immobilized Aptscl56 layer exhibits dual functions to direct bone attachment of ovariectomized mice, due to the interaction between phosphate groups in DNA aptamer Aptscl56 and bone calcium in hydroxyapatites, and to in situ capture sclerostin with picomolar affinities. Moreover, we show DNAM significantly reverses the serum level of sclerostin and osteoporotic bone loss to a normal level, improving bone histomorphology parameters and mechanical properties in the femur, and recovering serum levels of bone turnover markers, without systemic toxicity. Notably, the therapeutic effect of DNAM is superior to the gold standard drug alendronate, and the systemic dose of DNAM-immobilized Aptscl56 is only 25% of free Aptscl56. The present study provides insights into the regulation of unwanted circulating biohazards and represents a promising approach to deliver nanomedicines to treat osteoporosis.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
