However, the development of effective treatment strategies for chondrodysplasia still faces significant challenges due to limitations in the controlled drug delivery, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of nanomedicines.Methods: A biodegradable magnesium doped-silicon based-nanoplatforms based on silicon nanoparticles (MON) was constructed. Briefly, the MON was modified with sulfhydryl groups using MPTMS to form MOS. Further engineering of MOS was achieved by incorporating Mg2+ ions through the “dissolution-regrowth” method, resulting in MMOS. Ica was effectively loaded into the MMOS channels, and HA was anchored on the surface of MOS to obtain MMOS-Ica@HA nanoplatforms. Additionally, in vitro cell experiments and in vivo zebrafish embryo models were used to evaluate the effect of the nanoplatforms on cartilage differentiation or formation and the efficiency of treating chondrodysplasia.Results: A series of characterization tests including TEM, SEM, DLS, XPS, EDX, and BET analysis validate the successful preparation of MOS-Ica@HA nanoplatforms. The prepared nanoplatforms show excellent dispersion and controllable drug release behavior. The cytotoxicity evaluation reveals the good biocompatibility of MOS-Ica@HA due to the sustained and controllable release of Ica. Importantly, the presence of Ica and Mg component in MOS-Ica@HA significantly promote chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs via the Smad5/HIF-1α signaling pathway. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that the nanoplatforms improved chondrodysplasia by promoting cartilage differentiation and formation.Conclusion: The findings suggest the potential application of the developed biodegradable MMOS-Ica@HA nanoplatforms with acceptable drug loading capacity and controlled drug release in chondrodysplasia treatment, which indicates a promising approach for the treatment of chondrodysplasia.Keywords: nanoplatforms, controlled release, biocompatibility, chondrodysplasia, cartilage differentiation |
