Description
Summary:Interior bone-tissue regeneration and rapid tumor recurrence post-resection are critical challenges in osteosarcoma and other bone cancers. Conventional bone tissue engineering scaffolds lack inhibitory effects on bone tumor recurrence. Herein, multifunctional scaffolds (named DOX/PDA@CDHA) were designed through the spontaneous polymerization of Dopamine (PDA) on the surface of Calcium Deficient Hydroxyapatite (CDHA) scaffolds, followed by in situ loading of the chemotherapeutic drug Doxorubicin (DOX). The PDA coating endowed the scaffolds with significant photothermal properties, while the gradual release of DOX provided an effective chemotherapeutic effect. The on-demand release of DOX at tumor sites, triggered by dual stimulation (near-infrared (NIR) light and the acidic pH typical of tumor microenvironments), specifically targets cancer cells, thereby mitigating systemic side effects. These unique characteristics facilitated effective osteosarcoma eradication both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the scaffold's composition, which mimics the mineral phase of natural bone and is enhanced by PDA's biocompatibility, promotes critical osteogenic and angiogenic processes. This facilitates not only tumor eradication but also the regeneration of healthy bone tissue. Collectively, this study presents a potent candidate for the regeneration of bone defects induced by osteosarcoma.
