The invention discloses application of
graphene quantum dots to prevention and treatment of
osteoporosis. The application of the
graphene quantum dots to prevention and treatment of
osteoporosis concretely comprises application of the
graphene quantum dots to preparation of a
drug for inhibiting fusion or differentiation and maturation of
osteoclast precursor cells, application of the graphene quantum dots to preparation of a
drug for resisting the
bone resorption capacity of mature
osteoclast, application of the graphene quantum dots to preparation of a
drug for inhibiting differentiation and fusion of
osteoclast or expression of
ripening-associated genes, application of the graphene quantum dots to preparation of a drug for inhibiting TRAP
enzyme activity of osteoclast, and application of the graphene quantum dots to preparation of a drug for inhibiting fusion of osteoclast precursor cells to form multinucleated mature osteoclast; an effective
dose of the graphene quantum dots can inhibit differentiation and maturation of
RANKL induced BMMs cells to osteoclast in a concentration-
dependent manner, inhibit
bone resorption capacity of osteoclast obtained by differentiation and maturation of the
RANKL induced BMMs cells, and further inhibit fusion of osteoclast; besides, the graphene quantum dots can obviously reduce expression of osteoclast differentiation specific genes, therefore the graphene quantum dots finally achieve the function of preventing and treating
osteoporosis, and further can be applied to prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
