Conventional biomaterial-mediated osteosarcoma therapy mainly focuses on its antitumor effect yet often fails to overcome the problem of post-treatment bone tissue defect repair. Simultaneously, minimally invasive drug delivery methods are becoming spotlights for normal tissue preservation. Herein, an injectable curcumin-microsphere/IR820 coloaded hybrid methylcellulose hydrogel (Cur-MP/IR820 gel) platform was designed for osteosarcoma therapy and bone regeneration. In vitro, the K7M2wt osteosarcoma cells were eradicated by hyperthermia and curcumin. Later, the sustained release of curcumin promoted alkaline phosphatase expression and calcium deposition of bone mesenchymal stem cells. In vivo, this hybrid hydrogel could reach tumor site via injection and turned into hydrogel due to heat sensitivity. Under the irradiation of an 808 nm laser, localized hyperthermia (∼51 °C) generated in 5 min to ablate the tumor. Meanwhile, the thermal-accelerated curcumin release and thermal-increased cell membrane permeability led to tumor cell apoptosis. Tumors in photothermal-co-chemotherapy group were successfully restrained from day 2 after treatment. After that, bone reconstruction was promoted because of sustained released curcumin. The chemo-co-thermal efficacy and osteogenic capacity of Cur-MP/IR820 hydrogel suggest a promising approach to the treatment of osteosarcoma and provide provoking inspiration for treating bone tumors and repairing bone tissue.
