HOFFM. In models of oxidative stress in skeletal muscle. Fitoterapia 2024; 177:106127. [PMID: 39019238 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2024.106127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
Melanin is a dark pigment from the group of phenolic or indole polymers with inherent biocompatibility and antioxidant capacity. In extremophilic lichen Lobaria pulmonaria, melanin is responsible for protective properties against hostile environments. Herein, the ability of melanin extracted from L. pulmonaria to counteract oxidative stress and related damages was studied in the mouse diaphragm, the main respiratory muscle. Initial in vitro experiments demonstrated ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing, antioxidant and metal chelating activities of melanin. This melanin can form nanoparticles and stabile colloidal system at concentration of 5 μg/ml. Pretreatment of the muscle with melanin (5 μg/ml) markedly reduced UV-induced increase in intracellular and extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as antimycin A-mediated enhancement in mitochondrial ROS production accompanied by lipid peroxidation and membrane asymmetry loss. In addition, melanin attenuated suppression of neuromuscular transmission and alterations of contractile responses provoked by hydrogen peroxide. Thus, this study shed the light on the perspectives of the application of a lichen melanin as a protective component for treatment of skeletal muscle disorders, which are accompanied with an increased ROS production.

Abstract
Macrophage immunotherapy represents an emerging therapeutic approach aimed at modulating the immune response to alleviate disease symptoms. Nanomaterials (NMs) have been engineered to monitor macrophage metabolism, enabling the evaluation of disease progression and the replication of intricate physiological signal patterns. They achieve this either directly or by delivering regulatory signals, thereby mapping phenotype to effector functions through metabolic repurposing to customize macrophage fate for therapy. However, a comprehensive summary regarding NM-mediated macrophage visualization and coordinated metabolic rewiring to maintain phenotypic equilibrium is currently lacking. This review aims to address this gap by outlining recent advancements in NM-based metabolic immunotherapy. We initially explore the relationship between metabolism, polarization, and disease, before delving into recent NM innovations that visualize macrophage activity to elucidate disease onset and fine-tune its fate through metabolic remodeling for macrophage-centered immunotherapy. Finally, we discuss the prospects and challenges of NM-mediated metabolic immunotherapy, aiming to accelerate clinical translation. We anticipate that this review will serve as a valuable reference for researchers seeking to leverage novel metabolic intervention-matched immunomodulators in macrophages or other fields of immune engineering.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common and serious acute inflammatory disease with high severity rate and mortality. Inflammation and oxidative stress play an extremely important role in the development of AP disease. Polyvinylpyrrolidone-modified iridium nanoparticles (IrNP-PVP) have multienzyme mimetic activity, and the aim of this article is to discuss the therapeutic alleviative effects of the ultrasmall nanozymes IrNP-PVP on AP through their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. IrNP-PVP were proved to inhibit inflammation and scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the cellular level. The synthetic IrNP-PVP exhibit remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in the prevention and treatment of AP mice by establishing murine AP model, which can reduce the oxidative stress and inflammatory response. The results of this article indicated that the ultrasmall nanozymes IrNP-PVP effectively alleviate AP via scavenging ROS as well as suppressing inflammation both in vivo and in vitro, which might provide enormous promise for the AP management.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious kidney disease with high morbidity and mortality. However, there is no effective clinical treatment strategy. Herein, we developed a CD44 targeting nanoplatform based on HA-assembled melanin NPs covalently coupled with dexamethasone for I/R-induced AKI therapy by alleviating oxidative/inflammatory- induced damage. The constructed HA-MNP-DXM NPs had good dispersion, stability, and broad-spectrum scavenging capabilities against multiple reactive free radicals. Moreover, the NPs could be efficiently internalized and exhibited antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects in CoCl2-stimulated renal tubular epithelial NRK-52E cells. Furthermore, the I/R-induced AKI murine model was established to evaluate the in vivo performance of NPs. The results suggested the NPs could specifically target impaired kidneys upon intravenous administration according to NIR-II fluorescence imaging and showed high biosafety. Importantly, the NPs could improve renal function, alleviate oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions, inhibit apoptosis of tubular cells, and restore mitochondrial structure and function, exhibiting excellent therapeutic effects. Further therapeutic mechanism indicated the NPs maintained the cellular/mitochondrial redox balance by modulating the Nrf2 and HO-1 expression. Therefore, the NPs can be a promising therapeutic candidate for the treatment of I/R-induced AKI.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is strongly related to the occurrence of accumulation of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammation of the mucosa, and an imbalance of intestinal microbes. However, current treatments largely focus on a single factor, yielding unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. Herein, we report a biocompatible and IBD-targeted metabolic nanoregulator (TMNR) that synergistically regulates cellular and bacterial metabolism. The TMNR comprises a melanin-gallium complex (MNR) encapsulated within a thermosensitive and colitis-targeting hydrogel, all composed of natural and FDA-approved components. The TMNR confers superior broad-spectrum antioxidant properties, effectively scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and blocking inflammatory signaling pathways. The presence of Ga3+ in TMNR selectively disrupts iron metabolism in pathogenic microorganisms due to its structural resemblance to the iron atom. Additionally, incorporating a thermosensitive injectable hydrogel enables targeted delivery of TMNR to inflammatory regions, prolonging their retention time and providing a physical barrier function for optimizing IBD treatment efficacy. Collectively, TMNR effectively modulates the redox balance of inflamed colonic epithelial tissue and disrupts iron metabolism in pathogenic microorganisms, thereby eliminating inflammation and restoring intestinal homeostasis against IBD. Hence, this work presents a comprehensive approach for precise spatiotemporal regulation of the intestinal microenvironmental metabolism for IBD treatment.

Abstract
Acute liver injury (ALI) is a highly fatal condition characterized by sudden massive necrosis of liver cells, inflammation, and impaired coagulation function. Currently, the primary clinical approach for managing ALI involves symptom management based on the underlying causes. The association between excessive reactive oxygen species originating from macrophages and acute liver injury is noteworthy. Therefore, we designed a novel nanoscale phase variant contrast agent, denoted as PFP@CeO2@Lips, which effectively scavenges reactive oxygen species, and enables visualization through low intensity pulsed ultrasound activation. The efficacy of the nanoparticles in scavenging excess reactive oxygen species from RAW264.7 and protective AML12 cells has been demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo experiments. Additionally, these nanoparticles have shown a protective effect against LPS/D-GalN attack in C57BL/6J mice. Furthermore, when exposed to LIPUS irritation, the nanoparticles undergo liquid-gas phase transition and enable ultrasound imaging.

Abstract
Acute liver injury (AIL), a fatal clinical disease featured with a swift deterioration of hepatocyte functions in the short term, has emerged as a serious public health issues that warrants attention. However, the effectiveness of existing small molecular antioxidants and anti-inflammatory medications in alleviating AIL remains uncertain. The unique inherent structural characteristics of liver confer it a natural propensity for nanoparticle capture, which present an opportunity to exploit in the formulation of nanoscale therapeutic agents, enabling their selective accumulation in the liver and thereby facilitating targeted therapeutic interventions. Significantly increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and inflammation response have been evidenced to play crucial roles in occurrence and development of AIL. Nanozymes with ROS-scavenging capacities have demonstrated considerable promise in ROS elimination and inflammation regulation, thereby offering an appealing therapeutic instrument for the management of acute liver injury. In this review, the mechanisms of different type of ALI were summarized. In addition, we provide a comprehensive summary and review of the available ROS-scavenging nanozymes, including transition metal-based nanozymes, noble metal nanozymes, carbon-based nanozymes, and some other nanozymes. Furthermore, the challenges still need to be solved in the field of ROS-scavenging nanozymes for ALI alleviation are also discussed.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by the high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and highly dysfunctional intestinal flora. Here, a stimulation-responsive mucoadhesive probiotic Lac@HDP was rationally constructed for achieving specific adhesion of colitis site and depleting high level of ROS in inflammatory site. Briefly, Lac is Lactobacillus acidophilus, HDP is obtained by hyaluronic acid grafted with dopamine protected by phenylboric acid. Specifically, by consuming a large amount of ROS, phenyl borate group of Lac@HDP is oxidized and fractured, thus exposing the catechol hydroxyl group and obtaining strong mucosal adhesion ability, thereby significantly prolong the retention time of Lac in the inflammatory site. In the murine model of acute and chronic colitis, the stimulation-responsive mucoadhesive probiotics were significantly more effective in alleviating colitis symptoms than antioxidants and probiotics alone. In addition, the abundance and diversity of intestinal flora were increased after treatment with Lac@HDP, which was helpful to alleviate IBD. Importantly, the stimulation-responsive mucoadhesive probiotics have good biological safety in vivo, which provides the prospect of clinical application in the future.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a commonly encountered and diagnostically complex etiology of acute liver failure, characterized by early indications of hepatic oxidative stress. The most economical approach for DILI treatment is effective and durable oxidative stress prevention. Herein, we propose a long-lasting nanoantioxidant called PDA-Zn-BAI NPs characterized by sustained-release of baicalein (a natural antioxidant) for the long-lasting prevention of DILI. It is constructed using dopamine as an intermediate and layer-by-layer reinforcement strategy based on Zn2+-mediated coordination bonding, π-π stacking, and steric hindrance made of polydopamine network. Optimized PDA-Zn-BAI NPs performed a satisfactory sustained-release effect (36.67% ± 6.67 in normal condition and 60.32% ± 3.19 in acid condition of cumulative release within 5 days). Furthermore, it's been found that PDA-Zn-BAI NPs could continuously be accumulated in the liver with negligible hepatotoxicity and were activated to effectively scavenge reactive oxygen species to break off the damage of acetaminophen to the liver within 5 days (ALT as an indicator, > 70% prevention effect lasts for 5 days), which was vital for the long-lasting prevention of DILI. The long-lasting detoxification by PDA-Zn-BAI NPs in patients with DILI suggested a potential clinical application, especially for those patients who need prolonged administration of hepatotoxic drugs.

Abstract
As the most abundant liver-specific microRNA, microRNA-122 (miR122) played a crucial role in the differentiation of stem cells into hepatocytes. However, highly efficient miR122 delivery still confronts challenges including poor cellular uptake and easy biodegradation. Herein, we for the first time demonstrated that the tetrahedral DNA (TDN) nanoplatform had great potential in inducing the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) into functional hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) by transferring the liver-specific miR122 to hMSCs efficiently without any extrinsic factors. As compared with miR122, miR122-functionalized TDN (TDN-miR122) could significantly up-regulate the protein expression levels of mature hepatocyte markers and hepatocyte-specific marker genes in hMSCs, indicating that TDN-miR122 could particularly activate the hepatocyte-specific properties of hMSCs for developing cell-based therapies in vitro. The transcriptomic analysis further indicated the potential mechanism that TDN-miR122 assisted hMSCs differentiated into functional HLCs. The TDN-miR122-hMSCs exhibited hepatic cell morphology phenotype, significantly up-regulated specific hepatocyte genes and hepatic biofunctions in comparison with the undifferentiated MSCs. Preclinical in vivo transplantation appeared that TDN-miR122-hMSCs in combination with or without TDN could efficiently rescue acute liver failure injury through hepatocyte function supplement, anti-apoptosis, cellular proliferation promotion, and anti-inflammatory. Collectively, our findings may provide a new and facile approach for hepatic differentiation of hMSCs for acute liver failure therapy. Further large animal model explorations are needed to study their potential in clinical translation in the future.

Abstract
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a severe liver disease caused by many reasons. One of them is the overdosed acetaminophen (APAP), which is metabolized into N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), an excessive toxic metabolite, by CYP2E1, resulting in excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), exhausted glutathione (GSH), and thereafter hepatocyte necrosis. N-acetylcysteine is the Food and Drug Administration-approved drug for detoxification of APAP, but it has limited clinical application due to the short therapeutic time window and concentration-related adverse effects. In this study, a carrier-free and bilirubin dotted nanoparticle (B/BG@N) is developed, which is formed using bilirubin and 18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) is then adsorbed to mimic the in vivo behavior of the conjugated bilirubin for hitchhiking. The results demonstrate that B/BG@N can effectively reduce the production of NAPQI as well as exhibit antioxidant effects against intracellular oxidative stress via regulating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 signal axis and reducing the production of inflammatory factors. In vivo study shows that B/BG@N can effectively improve the clinical symptom of the mice model. This study suggests that B/BG@N own increases circulation half-life, improves accumulation in the liver, and dual detoxification, providing a promising strategy for clinical ALF treatment.

Abstract
Precise detection of early osteolytic metastases is crucial for their treatment but remains challenging in the clinic because of the limited sensitivity and specificity of traditional imaging techniques. Although fluorescence imaging offers attractive features for the diagnosis of osteolytic metastases, it is hampered by limited penetration depth. To address this issue, a fluoro-photoacoustic dual-modality imaging probe comprising a near-infrared dye caged by a cathepsin K (CTSK)-cleavable peptide sequence on one side and functionalized with osteophilic alendronate through a polyethylene glycol linker on the other side is reported. Through systematic in vitro and in vivo experiments, it is demonstrated that in response to CTSK, the probe generated both near-infrared fluorescent and photoacoustic signals from bone metastatic regions, thus offering a potential strategy for detecting deep-seated early osteolytic metastases.

Abstract
A unique feature of nanoparticles for bio-application is the ease of achieving multi-functionality through covalent and non-covalent functionalization. In this way, multiple therapeutic actions, including chemical, photothermal and photodynamic activity, can be combined with different bio-imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance, photoacoustic, and fluorescence imaging, in a theragnostic approach. In this context, melanin-related nanomaterials possess unique features since they are intrinsically biocompatible and, due to their optical and electronic properties, are themselves very efficient photothermal agents, efficient antioxidants, and photoacoustic contrast agents. Moreover, these materials present a unique versatility of functionalization, which makes them ideal for the design of multifunctional platforms for nanomedicine integrating new functions such as drug delivery and controlled release, gene therapy, or contrast ability in magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging. In this review, the most relevant and recent examples of melanin-based multi-functionalized nanosystems are discussed, highlighting the different methods of functionalization and, in particular, distinguishing pre-functionalization and post-functionalization. In the meantime, the properties of melanin coatings employable for the functionalization of a variety of material substrates are also briefly introduced, especially in order to explain the origin of the versatility of melanin functionalization. In the final part, the most relevant critical issues related to melanin functionalization that may arise during the design of multifunctional melanin-like nanoplatforms for nanomedicine and bio-application are listed and discussed.

Abstract
High-entropy alloys nanoparticles (HEANPs) are receiving extensive attention due to their broad compositional tunability and unlimited potential in bioapplication. However, developing new methods to prepare ultra-small high-entropy alloy nanoparticles (US-HEANPs) faces severe challenges owing to their intrinsic thermodynamic instability. Furthermore, there are few reports on studying the effect of HEANPs in tumor therapy. Herein, the fabricated PtPdRuRhIr US-HEANPs act as bifunctional nanoplatforms for the highly efficient treatment of tumors. The US-HEANPs are engineered by the universal metal-ligand cross-linking strategy. This simple and scalable strategy is based on the aldol condensation of organometallics to form the target US-HEANPs. The synthesized US-HEANPs exhibit excellent peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity and can catalyze the endogenous hydrogen peroxide to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals. Furthermore, the US-HEANPs possess a high photothermal conversion effect for converting 808 nm near-infrared light into heat energy. In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that under the synergistic effect of POD-like activity and photothermal action, the US-HEANPs can effectively ablate cancer cells and treat tumors. It is believed that this work not only provides a new perspective for the fabrication of HEANPs, but also opens the high-entropy nanozymes research direction and their biomedical application.

Abstract
Nanosized antioxidants are highly advantageous in terms of versatility and pharmacokinetics, with respect to conventional molecular ones. Melanin-like materials, artificial species inspired by natural melanin, combine recognized antioxidant (AOX) activity with a unique versatility of preparation and modification. Due to this versatility and documented biocompatibility, artificial melanin has been incorporated into a variety of nanoparticles (NP) in order to give new platforms for nanomedicine with enhanced AOX activity. In this review article, we first discuss the chemical mechanisms behind the AOX activity of materials in the context of the inhibition of the radical chain reaction responsible for the peroxidation of biomolecules. We also focus briefly on the AOX properties of melanin-like NP, considering the effect of parameters such as size, preparation methods and surface functionalization on them. Then, we consider the most recent and relevant applications of AOX melanin-like NPs that are able to counteract ferroptosis and be involved in the treatment of important diseases that affect, e.g., the cardiovascular and nervous systems, as well as the kidneys, liver and articulations. A specific section will be dedicated to cancer treatment, since the role of melanin in this context is still very debated. Finally, we propose future strategies in AOX development for a better chemical understanding of melanin-like materials. In particular, the composition and structure of these materials are still debated, and they present a high level of variability. Thus, a better understanding of the mechanism behind the interaction of melanin-like nanostructures with different radicals and highly reactive species would be highly advantageous for the design of more effective and specific AOX nano-agents.

Abstract
The burst of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the culprit of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. As direct ROS scavengers, antioxidants are clinically documented drugs for the prevention of reperfusion injury. However, some drugs give disappointing therapeutic performance despite their good in vitro effects. Therefore, in vivo assessments are necessary to screen the antioxidants before clinical trials. However, traditional methods such as histological study require invasive and complicated preprocessing of the biological samples, which may fail to reflect the actual level of the unstable ROS with a very short lifetime. Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is a characteristic endogenous ROS produced during reperfusion. Here, we modified the ONOO--responsive near-infrared fluorescent probe on a myocardium-targeting silica cross-linked micelle to prepare a nanoprobe for the real-time monitoring of ONOO- during coronary reperfusion. A ROS-stable cyanine dye was co-labeled as an internal reference to achieve ratiometric sensing. The nanoprobe can passively target the infarcted myocardium and monitor the generation of ONOO- during reperfusion in real-time. The antioxidants, carvedilol, atorvastatin, and resveratrol, were used as model drugs to demonstrate the capability of the nanoprobe to evaluate the antioxidative potency in situ. The drugs were either loaded and delivered by the nanoprobe to compare their in vivo efficacy under similar concentrations or administered intraperitoneally as a free drug to take their pharmacokinetics into account. The imaging results revealed that pharmacokinetics might be the determinant factor that influences the efficacy of the antioxidants.

Abstract
Nanoscale phase-variant ultrasound contrast agents have attracted the interest of many researchers. However, it is a challenge to design nanobubbles that are activated by low-frequency medical ultrasound that do not cause damage to normal tissues. In this study, we designed a new type
of nanoparticle consisting of perfluoropentane and iron polyphthalocyanine loaded into liposomes. These nanoparticles can be activated by a low-frequency medical ultrasound imager at a frequency of 5 MHz for ultrasound imaging and clear reactive oxygen species at a rate of more than 50%. This
ability to scavenge excess reactive oxygen species can alleviate the damage these species cause and protect macrophages. Moreover, these nanoparticles can effectively enhance ultrasound contrast imaging for real-time visualization in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

[PMID: 36376950 PMCID: PMC9664664 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-022-03734-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 10/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disorder with abnormal lipid metabolism. The present study was to identify regulatory genes related to lipid droplets (LDs) abnormal accumulation in NAFLD. Methods transcriptomic analysis and bioinformatics analysis (GEO database) were used to identify potential genes in abnormal lipid metabolism of NAFLD. A candidate gene MAP3K4 expression were detected by immunohistochemistry staining in NAFLD and controls. RNA interference and immunoblotting were used to verify the roles of MAP3K4 in the formation of hepatic LDs. Results A total of 134 candidate genes were screened, including 44 up-regulated genes and 90 down-regulated genes. 29 genes in the protein–protein interaction (PPI) were selected as hub genes, including MAP3K4. The expression levels of MAP3K4 were positively correlated with NAFLD activity score (r = 0.702, p = 0.002). Furthermore, we found a positive correlation of MAP3K4 expression with serum total cholesterol (r = 0.564, p = 0.023), uric acid levels (r = 0.520, p = 0.039), and body mass index (r = 0.574, p = 0.020). Downregulation of MAP3K4 decreased LDs accumulation in HepG2 cells and reduced the expression of CGI-58 and Plin-2 by imbibition of JNK and group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activation. Conclusion The study revealed a number of regulatory genes related to hepatic lipid metabolism of NAFLD, and demonstrated that MAP3K4 played a pivotal role in the hepatic lipogenesis of NAFLD.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a significant contributor to the morbidity and mortality of sepsis. Characterized by uncontrolled inflammation and excessive inflammatory cells infiltration in lung, ALI has been exacerbated by impaired efferocytosis (clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages). Through specific receptor recognition and activation of downstream signaling, efferocytic macrophages promote resolution of inflammation by efficiently engulfing dying cells, avoiding the consequent release of cellular inflammatory contents. Here, inspired by the intrinsic recovery mechanism of efferocytosis, an apoptotic cell membrane (ACM) coated antioxidant nanozyme (AOzyme) is engineered, thus obtaining an inhalable pro-efferocytic nanozyme (AOzyme@ACM). Notably, AOzyme@ACM can efficiently increase apoptotic cell removal by combing enhanced macrophages recognition of "eat me" signals through apoptotic body mimicking and scavenge of intracellular excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), a significant barrier for efferocytosis. AOzyme@ACM can significantly inhibit inflammatory response, promote pro-resolving (M2) phenotype transition of macrophage, and alleviate ALI in endotoxemia mice compared with AOzyme group. By addressing the critical factor in the pathogenesis of sepsis-related ALI through restoring efferocytosis activity, the ACM-based antioxidant nanozyme in this study is envisioned to provide a promising strategy to treat this complex and challenging disease.

Intrinsically Bioactive Manganese-Eumelanin Nanocomposites Mediated Antioxidation and Anti-Neuroinflammation for Targeted Theranostics of Traumatic Brain Injury. Adv Healthc Mater 2022; 11:e2200517.

Abstract
Overproduced reactive oxygen species and the induced oxidative stress and neuroinflammation often result in secondary injury, which is associated with unfavorable prognosis in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Unfortunately, current medications cannot effectively ameliorate the secondary injury at traumatic sites. Here, it is reported that intrinsically bioactive multifunctional nanocomposites (ANG-MnEMNPs-Cur, AMEC) mediate antioxidation and anti-neuroinflammation for targeted TBI theranostics, which are engineered by loading the neuroprotective agent curcumin on angiopep-2 functionalized and manganese doped eumelanin-like nanoparticles. After intravenous delivery, efficient AMEC accumulation is observed in lesions of TBI mice models established by controlled cortical impact method, evidenced by T1 -T2 magnetic resonance and photoacoustic dual-modal imaging. Therapeutically, AMEC effectively alleviates neuroinflammation, protects blood-brain barrier integrity, relieves brain edema, reduces brain tissue loss, and improves the cognition of TBI mice. Mechanistically, following the penetration into the traumatic tissues via angiopep-2 mediated targeting effect, the efficacy of AMEC is synergistically improved by combined functional moieties of curcumin and eumelanin. This is achieved by the alleviation of oxidative stress, inhibition of neuroinflammation via M1-to-M2 macrophage reprogramming, and promotion of neuronal regeneration. The as-developed AMEC with well-defined mechanisms of action may represent a promising targeted theranostics strategy for TBI and other neuroinflammation-associated intracranial diseases.

Abstract
Imaging-guided real-time monitoring of the treatment process of inflammatory diseases is important for the timely adjustment of treatment planning to lower unnecessary side effects and improve treatment outcomes. However, it is difficult to reflect the dynamic changes of inflammation in vivo with enough tissue penetration depth. Here a novel nanotheranostic agent (denominated TMSN@PM) with platelet membrane (PM)-coated, tempol-grafted, manganese-doped, mesoporous silica nanoparticles is developed. The PM endows the TMSN@PM with the ability to target inflammation sites, which are verified by fluorescence imaging with Cyanine5 carboxylic acid (Cy5)-labeled TMSN@PM. Under the inflammatory environment (mild acidity and excess reactive oxygen species (ROS)), TMSN@PM can scavenge the excess ROS, thereby alleviating inflammation, degrade, and release manganese ions for enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The relaxation changes (ΔR1 ) are almost linearly correlated with the concentration of H2 O2 , which can reflect the degree of inflammation. This method offers a non-invasive imaging-based strategy for early prediction of the therapeutic outcomes in inflammatory therapy, which may contribute to precision medicine in terms of prognostic stratification and therapeutic planning in future.

Abstract
Imaging techniques, including magnetic, optical, acoustic and nuclear imaging, are gaining popularity as a research tool and clinical diagnostics. The advent of imaging agents-incorporated nanosystems (NSs), with sufficient contrast and high resolution, facilitates better monitoring of disease progression, targeted delivery and therapeutic process. Of note, the size of NSs remarkably affects imaging performance, while both large and small NSs enjoy respective features and superiority for imaging aspect, including penetration depth, signal-to-background ratio and spatiotemporal resolution. In this review, after a systematic summary of the basic knowledge of imaging techniques and its relation with size-tunable strategies, we further provide insights into the opportunities and challenges facing size-transformable NSs of the future for bio-imaging application and clinical translation.

Abstract
Exogenous antioxidant materials mimicking endogenous antioxidant systems are commonly used for the treatment of oxidative stress-induced injuries. Thus, artificial enzymes have emerged as promising candidates for balancing and treating the dysregulation of redox homeostasis in vivo. Herein, a one-pot hydrothermal strategy for the facile preparation of MoSe2-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) nanoparticles (NPs) is reported. The synthesized NPs were biodegradable due to their exposure to oxygen and exhibited high stability. Moreover, they effectively mimicked various naturally occurring enzymes (including catalase, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and glutathione peroxidase) and scavenged free radicals, such as 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid, ·OH, ·O2−, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical. Further apoptosis detection studies revealed that MoSe2-PVP NPs significantly increased the cell survival probability in H2O2 in a concentration-dependent manner. The cytoprotective effect of MoSe2-PVP NPs was explored for an animal model of acute pancreatitis, which confirmed its remarkable therapeutic efficacy. Owing to the biodegradable and biocompatible nature of MoSe2-PVP NPs, the findings of this work can stimulate the development of other artificial nanoenzymes for antioxidant therapies.

Abstract
Pulmonary delivery of anti-inflammatory siRNA presents a promising approach for localized therapy of acute lung injury (ALI), while polycationic vectors can be easily trapped by the negatively charged airway mucin glycoproteins and arbitrarily internalized by epithelial cells with nontargetability for immunological clearance. Herein, we report a material, the dopamine (DA)-grafted hyaluronic acid (HA-DA), coating on an anti-TNF-α vector to address these limitations. HA-DA was simply synthesized and facilely coated on poly(β-amino ester) (BP)-based siRNA vectors via electrostatic attraction. The resulting HA-DA/BP/siRNA displayed significantly enhanced mucus penetration, attributable to the charge screen effect of HA-DA and the bioadhesive nature of the grafting DA. After transmucosal delivery, the nanosystem could target diseased macrophages via CD44-mediated internalization and rapidly escape from endo/lysosomes through the proton sponge effect, resulting in effective TNF-α regulation. Meanwhile, DA modification endowed the coating material with robust antioxidative capability to scavenge a broad spectrum of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which protected the lung tissue from oxidative damage and synergized with anti-TNF-α to inhibit a cytokine storm. As a result, a remarkable amelioration of ALI was achieved in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated mice model. This study provides a multifunctional coating material to facilitate pulmonary drug delivery for the treatment of lung diseases.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for normal physiological processes and play important roles in signal transduction, immunity, and tissue homeostasis. However, excess ROS may have a negative effect on the normal cells leading to various diseases. Nanomaterials are an attractive therapeutic alternative of antioxidants and possess an intrinsic ability to scavenge ROS. Surface modification for nanomaterials is a critical strategy to improve their comprehensive performances. Herein, we review the different surface modified strategies for nanomaterials to scavenge ROS and their inherent antioxidant capability, mechanisms of action, and biological applications. At last, the primary challenges and future perspectives in this emerging research frontier have also been highlighted. It is believed that this review paper will offer a top understanding and guidance on engineering future high-performance surface modified ROS scavenging nanomaterials for wide biomedical applications.
