The invention relates to the technical field of
oral medicine, in particular to a DNMTi and ZIF-8 nano-complex and application thereof.The DNMTi and ZIF-8 nano-complex is technically characterized in that in-situ synthesized
zeolite imidaze-8 (ZIF-8) is adopted for delivering
a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (DNMTi), dental pulp
stem cell (DPSC)
cell spheres are combined, the DNMTi and ZIF-8 nano-complex can be used for bionic therapy, the activity of
medicine is prolonged, and the effect of treating
dental pulp stem cells is achieved. And
zinc ions are continuously released to activate a PI3K-AKT
signal channel, so that the
dentin differentiation of stem cells and the generation of blood vessels are promoted. Through accurate
simulation of a tooth development microenvironment, the biomimetic therapy can realize regeneration of a dental pulp-
dentin complex. The therapy for simulating the tooth development process not only solves the key problems in the dental
tissue engineering, but also opens up a new direction for treating the dental pulp and periapical diseases, and highlights the wide application prospect in
regenerative medicine.
