Calcium Supplement by Tetracycline guided amorphous Calcium Carbonate potentiates Osteoblast promotion for Synergetic Osteoporosis Therapy. Theranostics 2020; 10(19):8591-8605. doi:10.7150/thno.45142. https://www.thno.org/v10p8591.htm
Background: The calcium supplement is a clinically approved approach for osteoporosis therapy but usually requires a large dosage without targetability and with poor outcome. This modality is not fully explored in current osteoporosis therapy due to the lack of proper calcium supplement carrier.
Methods: In this study, we constructed a tetracycline (Tc) modified and simvastatin (Sim) loaded phospholipid-amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) hybrid nanoparticle (Tc/ACC/Sim).
Results: The resulted Tc/ACC/Sim was able to enhance its accumulation at the osteoporosis site. Most importantly, the combination of calcium supplement and Sim offered synergetic osteoblast promotion therapy of osteoporosis with advanced performance than non-targeted system or mono therapy.
Conclusion: This platform provides an alternative approach to stimulate bone formation by synergetic promotion of osteoblast differentiation using calcium supplement and Sim.
