Abstract:

Targeted drug delivery improves therapeutic efficacy while minimizing off-target effects. In this study, PLGA-PEG-Su-Asp (PPSA) copolymers were synthesized to develop teriparatide-loaded nano-polymersomes (PPSA-PTH1-34 NP) for bone-targeted delivery. Nanoparticles were prepared by nanoprecipitation and optimized using a central composite design. The optimized nanoparticles had a size of 245.78 ± 8.2 nm, PDI of 0.352 ± 0.12, ZP of -18.89 ± 0.1 mV, and 72.20 ± 2.9 % drug entrapment efficiency. PPSA-PTH 1-34 exhibited strong affinity (64.86 %) to hydroxyapatite, enhancing targeting efficiency. In vitro assays in MG-63 cells confirmed time- and concentration-dependent proliferation, uptake efficiency, increased ALP activity, and mineralization. In vivo studies using an (ovariectomizd) OVX rat model showed that PPSA-PTH 1-34 significantly improved bone regeneration compared to free PTH1-34. These findings demonstrate that PPSA-based NP provide a promising platform for targeted and sustained PTH 1-34 delivery, potentially improving therapeutic outcomes in osteoporosis treatment.

Bone Remodeling

Bone Remodeling

Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Bone Disorders

Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...
