Treating osteoarthritis (OA) presents a significant challenge due to the fact that conventional intra-articular injections only achieve superficial penetration and uncontrolled drug release. Here, the amino-modified cationic mesoporous silica nanoparticles were covalently conjugated with cartilage-targeted peptides to form a Trojan horse-like architecture for enveloping the prochondrogenic fucoidan. The hydrogel microsphere, consisting of photocurable GelMA and ChSMA, were fabricated using a microfluidic platform for cargo delivery. The cationic targeting nanoparticle-hydrogel microsphere@fucoidan (CTNM@FU) possess three-step programmable characteristics that enable responsive transport toward injured cartilage, effective penetration of the cartilage matrix and selective entry into chondrocytes, escape from lysosomes, and release of bio-activators. The impaired cartilage metabolism was significantly reversed upon co-culturing with CTNM@FU. Intra-articular administration of CTNM@FU not only mitigated cartilage degeneration but also expedited cartilage formation. Mechanistically, CTNM@FU protected cartilage by activating SIRT3, enhancing mitochondrial energy and countering aging. Collectively, a spatiotemporally guided strategy enables more precise treatments for degenerative joint disorders.
由于传统的关节内注射只能实现表面渗透和药物的非控释,因此治疗骨关节炎(OA)面临重大挑战。在此,将氨基修饰的阳离子介孔二氧化硅纳米颗粒与软骨靶向肽共价偶联,形成一种特洛伊木马样结构以包裹促软骨生成岩藻依聚糖。由光固化甲基丙烯酸明胶(GelMA)和壳聚糖甲基丙烯酸酯(ChSMA)组成的水凝胶微球通过微流控平台制备用于药物递送。阳离子靶向纳米颗粒-水凝胶微球@岩藻依聚糖(CTNM@FU)具有三步可编程特性,能够实现对损伤软骨的响应性运输、有效穿透软骨基质并选择性进入软骨细胞、从溶酶体逃逸以及释放生物激活剂。与CTNM@FU共培养后,受损的软骨代谢得到显著逆转。关节内注射CTNM@FU不仅减轻了软骨退变,还加速了软骨形成。从机制上讲,CTNM@FU通过激活SIRT3、增强线粒体能量和对抗衰老来保护软骨。总的来说,一种时空引导策略能够为退行性关节疾病提供更精确的治疗。
