Through respectively detecting mass spectrums of DSPE-PEG-NHS and DSPE-PEG-TC with the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer, it is obtained that: a molecular weight of DSPE-PEG-NHS is distributed at 2900 and a molecular weight of DSPE-PEG-TC is distributed at 3250, which are consistent with theoretical molecular weights thereof (as shown in
[0072] 2. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and sodium bicarbonate solution are co-loaded; through a laser scanning confocal microscope, it can be seen that localization of the tetracycline fluorescence and the liposome membrane are consistent (as shown in
[0073] 3. The fluorescent spectrophotometer shows that the fluorescence intensity of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs is obviously increased at 525 nm in comparison to NaHCO.sub.3-NLs without tetracycline modification (as shown in
[0074] 4. The cryo-transmission electron microscope shows that the particle size of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs is nano-scaled and morphology of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs is uniform.
[0075] Characteristic Evaluation of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs in Example 1
[0076] 1. A titration experiment is conducted on the sodium bicarbonate-loaded and tetracycline-modified nano liposomes (NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs), the sodium chloride-loaded and tetracycline-modified nano liposomes (NaCl-TNLs), water, the sodium bicarbonate solution having a concentration of 1 mol/L, and the sodium bicarbonate solution having a concentration of 0.02 mol/L with 1% hydrochloric acid, and a dynamic change of the pH value thereof is detected in real time. The results show that NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs have the excellent acid resistance (as shown in
[0077] 2. The particle sizes of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs and NaCl-TNLs are measured respectively under the pH values of 7, 6 and 4. The results show that the particle size of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs is obviously decreased in an acid environment of PH=4, indicating that the contents are released in the acid environment (as shown in
[0078] 3. The mechanical characteristics of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs under the pH values of 7 and 4 are compared through an in-situ liquid atomic force microscope. The results show that: the particle size of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs is obviously decreased under the pH value of 4, and the liposome membrane tends to rupture (as shown in
[0079] 4. The morphologies of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs under the pH values of 7 and 4 are compared through the cryo-transmission electron microscope. The results show that rupture of the liposome membrane occurs under the pH value of 4 (as shown in
[0080] 5. FITC is loaded into NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs and thereafter incubated in a 10% serum medium with bovine bone slices, and the fluorescence respectively 1 day, 3 days and 7 days after incubation is observed; 7 days later, the medium is placed in an environment with the pH value of 4, and the liposome fluorescence respectively 0 minute, 1 minute and 3 minutes after placement is observed. The results show that: NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs can be adsorbed on the bone surface in 7 days and keep stable; moreover, NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs still have the rapid pH response function 7 days later.
[0081] 6. Indocyanine green-loaded and tetracycline-modified nano liposomes (ICG-TNLs) and indocyanine green-loaded nano liposomes without tetracycline modification (ICG-NLs) are injected into the caudal veins of mice with a dosage of 0.025 ml/g. The results show that: compared with ICG-NLs, ICG-TNLs have a significant rapid enrichment effect on bone tissues (as shown in
[0082] 7. NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs and NaCl-TNLs are respectively co-incubated with the FITC-coated bovine bone slices, and the mature osteoclasts are respectively implanted thereon. The results show that the FITC fluorescence intensity and area of the bone surface with NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs are significantly better than that with NaCl-TNLs, indicating that NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs can effectively inhibit the bone erosion effect of the osteoclasts (as shown in
[0083] Inhibitory Effects of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs in Example 1 on Osteoclasts
[0084] 1. NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs are added into an osteoclast inducing system and compared with a pure osteoclast inducing system. The results obtained through tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-staining show that the count and the area of the osteoclasts are both greatly inhibited with NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs, indicating that NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs have the significant inhibitory effect on the osteoclasts (as shown in
[0085] 2. NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs are added into an osteoclast inducing system cultured with the bovine bone slices and compared with a pure osteoclast inducing system cultured with the bovine bone slices. The results obtained through the scanning electron microscope show that an absorption count and an absorption area are both greatly inhibited with NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs, indicating that NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs have the significant inhibitory effect on the osteoclasts (as shown in
[0086] 3. NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs are added into the osteoclast inducing system and compared with the pure osteoclast inducing system. The results obtained through Western-blot and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) show that NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs can inhibit an increment effect of NFATc-1, c-Fos and CTSK expressions in the osteoclasts with time; the results obtained through the laser scanning confocal microscope show that NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs can inhibit formation of the actin ring of the osteoclasts, indicating that NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs have the significant inhibitory effect on the bone resorption function of the osteoclasts (as shown in
[0087] 4. The receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK) expressions in the osteoclast inducing system are evaluated every day. The results obtained through Western-blot and the laser scanning confocal microscope show that the RANK expression quantity in the osteoclasts is progressively increased with maturation of the osteoclasts (as shown in
[0088] 5. NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs are added into the osteoclast inducing system and compared with the pure osteoclast inducing system, and the exosomes are extracted for evaluation. The results obtained through Western-blot and exosome flow cytometry show that the RANK content in the extracellular vesicles is greatly increased with NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs. Compared with the above results, it can be known that NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs can facilitate the osteoclasts to secrete the RANK-containing extracellular vesicles (as shown in
[0089] 6. The extracellular vesicles extracted above are respectively added into the osteoclast inducing systems. The results obtained through TRAP-staining show that the osteoclasts are greatly inhibited with NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs induced extracellular vesicles, indicating that the RANK-containing extracellular vesicles can further inhibit the osteoclasts (as shown in
[0090] Therapeutic Effects of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs in Example 1 on Osteoporosis of Ovariectomy (OVX) Mice
[0091] 1. Establishing Animal Disease Model and Grouping
[0092] Grouping: The 11-week-old C57BL/6 female mice are divided into four groups, wherein: for mice of the first group (Sham), a sham operation is conducted, and normal saline is injected into the caudal veins; for mice of the second group (OVX), the ovary is removed, and normal saline is injected into the caudal veins; for mice of the third group (OVX+NaCl-TNLs), the ovary is removed, and NaCl-TNLs are injected into the caudal veins; for mice of the fourth group (OVX+NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs), the ovary is removed, and NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs are injected into the caudal veins.
[0093] Implementation: Corresponding operations are conducted on each group of mice; one week later, corresponding drugs with a dosage of 0.025 ml/g are injected into the caudal veins every two days, lasting for 2 weeks; 4 weeks after administration is finished, the vertebral body, femur, tibia and blood of each group of mice are taken out for analysis. The analysis methods comprise micro-CT, hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining, TRAP staining, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of serum bone metabolic indicators (as shown in
[0094] 2. The micro-CT results of the vertebral body, femur and tibia of each experimental group are compared. The results show that the factors of bone volume per tissue volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb. N) and trabecular separation (Tb. Sp) of the OVX+NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs group are all significantly better than that of the OVX group (as shown in
[0095] 3. The H&E staining and TRAP staining results of the vertebral body, femur and tibia of each experimental group are compared. The results show that factors of BV/TV, surface area of the osteoclasts on the bone surface (OC. S/BS), and number of the osteoclasts on the bone surface (OC. N/BS) of the OVX+NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs group are all significantly better than that of the OVX group (as shown in
[0096] 4. The serum bone metabolic indicators of each experimental group are compared. The results show that the osteoclasts metabolic indicators of the OVX+NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs group are significantly lower than that of the OVX group. Combined with the above experimental results, it is indicated that NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs can effectively treat bone loss and osteoclast metabolism of the OVX mice, so as to treat osteoporosis (as shown in
[0097] For the nano composite materials aiming at the acidic sealing zone in the osteoclasts obtained through the examples 2-6, composite evaluation, characteristic evaluation, evaluation of the inhibitory effects on the osteoclasts, and evaluation of the therapeutic effects on osteoporosis of the OVX mice are respectively conducted. The obtained results are similar to the results of NaHCO.sub.3-TNLs in the example 1, indicating that: through the adjustment of reagent concentration and treatment time determined by above optimizations, the preparation of the nano composite material aiming at the acidic sealing zone in the osteoclasts, having the similar effect, can be realized.
[0098] It can be known from the above examples that: through targeting the bone tissues, the nano composite material aiming at the acidic sealing zone in the osteoclasts provided by the present invention can conduct an aerogenic pH response with the acidic sealing zone in the osteoclasts, and destroy the acidic sealing zone in the osteoclasts while neutralizing acidification, so that maturation of the osteoclasts is inhibited, the osteoclasts are facilitated to secrete the RANK-containing extracellular vesicles, and ineffective binding is formed with receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) in serum, thereby achieving the long-term therapeutic effects on the abnormal osteoclast activation.
[0099] The above-described is only the examples of the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detailed with the above examples, one of ordinary skill in the art should understand that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should be all encompassed in the protection scope of the present invention and in the scope limited by the claims of the present invention.
