Abstract
Despite the rapid development of the application of tissue engineering techniques in regenerative bone repair, the repair of severe pathologic bone defects, represented by osteoporotic bone defects, is still a huge challenge. Recent studies have identified local delivery of parathyroid hormone relative peptides (PTHrPs) as a novel pathway for bone repair as well, but how to load and locally release PTHrPs for good bone repair is a major obstacle. Here, a biopolymer of PLGA-PLL loaded with PTHrP1 is electrospunned into nanofiber membranes for guided bone regeneration. In vitro experiments show that PLGA-PLL synergized with PTHrP1 significantly promote osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis, providing a favorable bone regeneration microenvironment. In vivo experiments show that the membrane recruits endogenous stem cells and promotes their ectopic osteogenic differentiation in an osteoporotic environment. Furthermore, the membrane can promote osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis in situ and improve the local osteoporotic microenvironment, ultimately promoting the repair of bone defects. Therefore, present study provides a promising strategy for local delivery of PTH, which opens a new pathway for the treatment of osteoporotic bone defects.
