Postmenopausal osteoporosis is one of the most prevalent skeletal disorders in women and is featured by the imbalance between intraosseous vascularization and bone metabolism. In this study, a pH-responsive shell-core structured micro/nano-hydrogel microspheres loaded with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) using gas microfluidics and ionic cross-linking technology are developed. This micro/nano-hydrogel microsphere system (PDAP@Alg/Cs) can achieve oral delivery, intragastric protection, intestinal slow/controlled release, active targeting to bone tissue, and thus negatively affecting intraosseous angiogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. According to biodistribution data, PDAP@Alg/Cs can successfully enhance drug intestinal absorption and bioavailability through intestine adhesion and bone targeting after oral administration. In vitro and in vivo experiments reveal that PDAP@Alg/Cs promoted type H vessel formation and inhibited bone resorption, effectively mitigating bone loss by activating HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway and promoting heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression. In conclusion, this novel oral micro/nano-hydrogel microsphere system can simultaneously accelerate intraosseous vascularization and decrease bone resorption, offering a brand-new approach to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis.
绝经后骨质疏松症是女性最常见的骨骼疾病之一,其特征是骨内血管化和骨代谢之间失衡。在本研究中,采用气体微流控技术和离子交联技术,开发了一种负载多面体低聚倍半硅氧烷(POSS)的 pH 响应型核壳结构的微/纳米水凝胶微球。该微/纳米水凝胶微球系统(PDAP@Alg/Cs)可实现口服递送、胃内保护、肠道缓慢/控制释放、主动靶向骨组织,从而对骨内血管生成和破骨细胞生成产生负面影响。根据体内分布数据,PDAP@Alg/Cs 经口服给药后,通过肠黏附和骨靶向作用,可成功增强药物在肠道中的吸收和生物利用度。体外和体内实验表明,PDAP@Alg/Cs 通过激活 HIF-1α/VEGF 信号通路和促进血红素加氧酶-1(HO-1)表达,促进 H 型血管形成和抑制骨吸收,有效减轻骨质流失。总之,这种新型口服微/纳米水凝胶微球系统可同时加速骨内血管生成和减少骨吸收,为预防绝经后骨质疏松症提供了一种全新的方法。
