Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical bone tissue regeneration materials technology, specifically relating to a hydrotalcite nanocomposite material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Malignant bone tumors, especially osteosarcoma, face the dual challenges of radical resection and functional reconstruction in clinical treatment. On the one hand, the highly invasive nature of tumors makes it difficult to completely remove micrometastases surgically, resulting in a high risk of postoperative recurrence. Traditional systemic chemotherapy is limited in its efficacy due to severe toxic side effects (such as cardiotoxicity and bone marrow suppression) and insufficient local drug concentrations in the tumor. On the other hand, the large, irregular bone defects left after tumor resection exceed the supply limit of autologous bone transplantation. Allogeneic bone carries the risk of immune rejection, while traditional bioceramic materials (such as hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate) generally suffer from high brittleness, a mismatch between degradation and osteogenic rates, and a lack of bioactive factors, making it difficult to meet the comprehensive requirements of ideal bone repair materials in terms of biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, osteoinductive properties, biodegradability, and matching mechanical properties. Therefore, developing an integrated "treatment-repair" biomaterial that can simultaneously achieve highly effective local anti-tumor therapy and guide in-situ bone tissue regeneration has become an urgent research direction in the field of bone tumor surgery.
[0003] Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), as an emerging non-invasive tumor treatment method, has attracted extensive research due to its advantages such as high specificity, minimal damage to normal cells, deep tissue penetration, and high spatial precision. SDT utilizes ultrasound (US) to activate sonosensitizers, generating a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce tumor cell death. Compared with light-triggered therapy strategies such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), ultrasound-mediated SDT has higher tissue penetration, which is beneficial for the controlled and non-invasive treatment of deep or large tumors. However, most reported inorganic sonosensitizers typically exhibit limited US absorption efficiency and unsatisfactory ROS yields. To address these challenges, several nanomaterial engineering strategies have been proposed, such as defect engineering, heteroatom doping, and the construction of heterostructures, to further optimize their performance in SDT. Although significant progress has been made through these strategies, there is still considerable room for further improvement in ROS production. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a simple and effective strategy to construct inorganic sonosensitizers with high ROS production efficiency for efficient SDT. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Further, step (2) specifically involves: placing zinc-copper-molybdenum hydrotalcite nanosheets in a sodium hydroxide solution for alkaline etching to obtain etched zinc-copper-molybdenum hydrotalcite nanosheets;
[0021] The concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 0.6-0.65 mol / L;
[0022] The alkaline etching temperature is 115-125℃, and the alkaline etching time is 2-2.5h.
[0023] Further, step (3) specifically involves mixing and stirring magnesium peroxide, etched zinc-copper-molybdenum hydrotalcite nanosheets and water to obtain a-ZnCuMo-LDH@MgO2;
[0024] The mass ratio of the magnesium peroxide to the etched zinc-copper-molybdenum hydrotalcite nanosheets is (5-6):(10-12).

[0028] Furthermore, the temperature of the stirring reaction is room temperature, the stirring speed is 600-800 rpm, and the stirring time is 4-4.5 h.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0036] (1) The hydrotalcite nanocomposite material a-ZnCuMo-LDH@MgO2-BG of the present invention achieves simultaneous tumor clearance and bone defect repair through a triple mechanism of enhanced acoustic and dynamic properties, sequential release of metal ions and activation of osteogenic genes, providing a new strategy for postoperative treatment of bone tumors.
[0037] (2) The hydrotalcite nanocomposite material a-ZnCuMo-LDH@MgO2-BG of the present invention can rapidly release zinc and copper ions within the first week and reach a steady state after two weeks, which is conducive to effective bone healing and vascular recovery. Magnesium peroxide (MgO2) can interact with water (H2O) to form oxygen (O2), thereby alleviating hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment. This allows a-ZnCuMo-LDH@MgO2-BG to maintain a high efficiency of ROS generation under hypoxic conditions. ROS damages tumor cell DNA, upregulates the pro-apoptotic gene Bax and downregulates the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2, which can effectively achieve tumor ablation. It also significantly upregulates osteogenic genes such as RUNX 2 / BMP 2 / OCN, accelerating the repair of bone tissue defects.

[0087] The ZnCuMo-LDH, a-ZnCuMo-LDH, a-ZnCuMo-LDH@MgO2, and BG+LDH@MgO2 prepared in Example 1 under normal oxygen conditions were tested using a 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) probe. 1 O2 production capacity, results as follows Figure 9 a and Figure 9 As shown in b in the diagram.

[0088] The ion release behavior of BG+LDH@MgO2 prepared in Example 1 of this invention was determined by ICP-AES, and the results are as follows: Figure 10 As shown. From Figure 10 As can be seen, Zn and Cu ions exhibit rapid release in the first week, followed by a significant decrease in the release rate, eventually reaching a steady state after two weeks, which is beneficial for effective bone healing and vascular recovery.
[0089] 143 B cells (5 × 10) 5Cells were seeded in 48-well plates with BG (Comparative Example 6), BG+LDH (Comparative Example 7), and BG+LDH (Example 1) @MgO2, respectively, and incubated for 24 h. Cells were then treated with or without sonication (3 W / cm²) for 5 min. After co-staining with calcein-AM / PI (15 μg / mL) and 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) (10 μmol / L), cell fluorescence images were obtained using a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Figure 11 As shown, from Figure 11 As shown in 'a', no red fluorescence was observed in the control group, BG+US group, and BG+LDH group, while significant red fluorescence was observed in the BG+LDH+US and BG+LDH@MgO2+US groups, confirming that BG+LDH+US and BG+LDH@MgO2+US treatments can effectively induce sonodynamic therapy-related apoptosis. Figure 11 As shown in b, no 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) fluorescence was observed in cells treated with the control group, BG+US group, and BG+LDH group. ROS green fluorescence was observed in the BG+LDH+US group, with a more significant enhancement in green fluorescence in the MgO2-loaded BG+LDH@MgO2+US group. This indicates that the ability of α-ZnCuMo-LDH and α-ZnCuMo-LDH@MgO2 to generate reactive oxygen species was significantly enhanced under ultrasonic irradiation.
[0090] 143 B cells co-cultured with BG from Comparative Example 6, BG+LDH prepared in Comparative Example 7, and BG+LDH@MgO2 prepared in Example 1 were subjected to sonication. The expression levels of apoptosis-regulating proteins were detected by Western blotting. The results are as follows: Figure 12 As shown in a, under the condition of using GAPDH as an internal control, compared with other groups, the expression level of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax was significantly upregulated in the BG+LDH@MgO2+US group, while the expression level of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly downregulated. Further quantitative analysis of protein expression was performed using ImageJ 1.52v software to calculate the grayscale values of the above Western blot bands, as shown in Figure a. Figure 12 d and Figure 12 As shown in 'e', the quantitative analysis of protein expression levels further visually illustrates the upregulation trend of Bax protein and the downregulation trend of Bcl-2 protein. These changes in protein levels are consistently confirmed at the gene transcription level. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to detect apoptosis-related genes, and the results are shown below. Figure 12 b and Figure 12As shown in Figure c, qPCR results indicated that the relative mRNA expression level of the Bax gene in the BG+LDH@MgO2+US group was significantly increased compared to the control group; conversely, the relative mRNA expression level of the Bcl-2 gene was significantly decreased. These results demonstrate that BG+LDH@MgO2-mediated SDT can effectively activate the intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway of bone tumor cells by significantly upregulating the expression of the pro-apoptotic factor Bax and simultaneously downregulating the expression of the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, acting synergistically at both the gene transcription and protein translation levels. This provides direct evidence for elucidating the molecular biological mechanism by which it inhibits tumor growth and achieves therapeutic effects in bone tumors.
[0091] In vivo antitumor experiments were conducted on BG from Comparative Example 6, BG+LDH prepared in Comparative Example 7, and BG+LDH@MgO2 prepared in Example 1. Five mice were used in each group. The tumor-clearing efficacy of BG+LDH@MgO2 was evaluated using a nude mouse orthotopic osteosarcoma model. The experiment simulated a clinical surgical procedure. Surgical resection was performed when the primary tumor volume reached approximately 200 mm³. Subsequently, BG, BG+LDH, or BG+LDH@MgO2 was implanted at the resection site, followed by treatment with or without US ultrasound irradiation. In vivo fluorescence imaging was performed on mice every four days for 16 consecutive days. The results are as follows: Figure 13 As shown in a. During the 16-day treatment period, the size and weight of the mouse tumors were recorded every two days, and the results are shown in Figure a. Figure 13 b and Figure 13 As shown in c in the figure. The tissue was dissected and photographed 16 days later, and the results are as follows. Figure 13 As shown in e in the diagram. From Figure 13 As shown in figures a, b, c, and e, tumor growth was significant in the control group and the BG+US group. Implantation of BG+LDH and BG+LDH@MgO2 had a weak inhibitory effect on tumor growth in mice, while BG+LDH+US showed a better inhibitory effect. In contrast, mice implanted with BG+LDH@MgO2 showed complete tumor regression under US irradiation and had good postoperative survival. These results confirm the significant inhibitory effect of the combination of BG+LDH@MgO2 and ultrasound radiation on tumor growth. The survival time of mice in different groups was recorded, and the results are shown below. Figure 13 As shown in d, from Figure 13 As can be seen from d, all mice in the BG+LDH@MgO2+US group survived for more than 40 days.
[0092] In vitro osteogenic performance test: The osteogenic activity of BG+LDH@MgO2 prepared in Example 1, BG in Comparative Example 6, and BG+LDH prepared in Comparative Example 7 on hBMSCs was detected by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red S staining method. The results are as follows: Figure 14 a and Figure 14 As shown in b in the figure, compared with other groups, after 14 days of culture, the BG+LDH@MgO2 group showed more obvious ALP staining and Alizarin Red S staining of obvious mineralized nodules, indicating better osteogenic effect. hBMSCs co-cultured with BG+LDH@MgO2 prepared in Example 1 of this invention, BG in Comparative Example 6, and BG+LDH prepared in Comparative Example 7 were subjected to Western blotting after sonication. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 14 As shown in c, the grayscale values of the Western blot bands were calculated using ImageJ 1.52v software, and the quantitative analysis results of osteogenic protein expression are as follows. Figure 14 As shown by d in the figure. From Figure 14 c and Figure 14 As can be seen from d, osteogenic proteins were detected in both the BG+LDH+US and BG+LDH@MgO2+US groups. Furthermore, the expression levels of osteogenic proteins Col1, BMP2, and RUNX2 in the BG+LDH@MgO2+US group were 2.61, 2.54, and 2.45 times higher than those in the control group, respectively. hBMSCs co-cultured with BG+LDH@MgO2 prepared in Example 1, BG in Comparative Example 6, and BG+LDH prepared in Comparative Example 7 were subjected to sonication and then quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to assess osteogenic gene expression. The results are as follows: Figure 14 As shown in e in the diagram. From Figure 14 As can be seen from 'e', in the BG+LDH@MgO2+US group, the expression level of OCN gene was 3 times that of the control group, BMP 2 was 2.1 times that of the control group, and RUNX 2 was 2.2 times that of the control group. This indicates that BG+LDH@MgO2-mediated SDT has significant osteogenic properties and can upregulate the expression of osteogenic genes and proteins.
