摘要

We report a synthetic tetrahedral DNA nanocarrier (TDN) for treating bone defects and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection using in vitro studies. We successfully synthesized TDNs and demonstrated their excellent cytocompatibility with blood cells and immune cells. Zoledronic acid-loaded TDN displayed increased efficacy compared to free drugs in regulating bone remodeling, while vancomycin-loaded TDN showed an increased antibacterial effect against MRSA. In the future, this nano-drug delivery platform, with its multifunctional properties, can be potentially used to treat bone fractures and surgery-related MRSA infection.
