Cationic Glucan Dendrimer Gel-Mediated Local Delivery of Anti-OC-STAMP-siRNA for Treatment of Pathogenic Bone Resorption
Gels(2024)
摘要
Osteoclast stimulatory transmembrane protein (OC-STAMP) plays a pivotal role in the promotion of cell fusion during osteoclast differentiation (osteoclastogenesis) in the context of pathogenic bone resorption. Thus, it is plausible that the suppression of OC-STAMP through a bioengineering approach could lead to the development of an effective treatment for inflammatory bone resorptive diseases with minimum side effects. Here, we synthesized two types of spermine-bearing (Spe) cationic glucan dendrimer (GD) gels (with or without C12) as carriers of short interfering RNA (siRNA) to silence OC-STAMP. The results showed that amphiphilic C12-GD-Spe gel was more efficient in silencing OC-STAMP than GD-Spe gel and that the mixture of anti-OC-STAMP siRNA/C12-GD-Spe significantly downregulated RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Also, local injection of anti-OC-STAMP-siRNA/C12-GD-Spe could attenuate bone resorption induced in a mouse model of periodontitis. These results suggest that OC-STAMP is a promising target for the development of a novel bone regenerative therapy and that C12-GD-Spe gel provides a new nanocarrier platform of gene therapies for osteolytic disease.
