Reactive oxide species and ultrasound dual-responsive bilayer microneedle array for in-situ sequential therapy of acute myocardial infarction. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 162:213917. [PMID: 38861802 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213917] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) resulting from coronary artery occlusion stands as the predominant cause of cardiovascular disability and mortality worldwide. An all-encompassing treatment strategy targeting pathological processes of oxidative stress, inflammation, proliferation and fibrotic remodeling post-AMI is anticipated to enhance therapeutic outcomes. Herein, an up-down-structured bilayer microneedle (Ce-CLMs-BMN) with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ultrasound (US) dual-responsiveness is proposed for AMI in-situ sequential therapy. The upper-layer microneedle is formulated by crosslinking ROS-sensitive linker with polyvinyl alcohol loaded with cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeNPs) featuring versatile enzyme-mimetic activities. During AMI acute phase, prompted by ischemia-induced microenvironmental redox imbalance, this layer swiftly releases CeNPs, which aid in eliminating excessive ROS and catalyzing oxygen gas (O2) production through multiple enzymatic pathways, thereby alleviating oxidative stress-induced damage and modulating inflammation. In AMI chronic repair phase, micro-nano reactors (CLMs) situated in the lower-layer microneedle undergo cascade reactions with the assistance of US irradiation to generate nitric oxide (NO). As a bioactive molecule with pro-angiogenic and anti-fibrotic effects, NO expedites cardiac repair while attenuating adverse remodeling. Additionally, its antiplatelet-aggregating properties contribute to thromboprophylaxis. In-vitro and in-vivo results substantiate the efficacy of this integrated healing approach in AMI management, showcasing promising prospects for advancing infarcted heart repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysfunction or deficiency of corneal epithelium results in vision impairment or blindness in severe cases. The rapid and effective regeneration of corneal epithelial cells relies on the limbal stem cells (LSCs). However, the molecular and functional responses of LSCs and their niche cells to injury remain elusive. METHODS Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on corneal tissues from normal mice and corneal epithelium defect models. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to confirm the distinct characteristics and cell fates of LSCs. Knockdown of Creb5 and OSM treatment experiment were performed to determine their roles of in corneal epithelial wound healing. RESULTS Our data defined the molecular signatures of LSCs and reconstructed the pseudotime trajectory of corneal epithelial cells. Gene network analyses characterized transcriptional landmarks that potentially regulate LSC dynamics, and identified a transcription factor Creb5, that was expressed in LSCs and significantly upregulated after injury. Loss-of-function experiments revealed that silencing Creb5 delayed the corneal epithelial healing and LSC mobilization. Through cell-cell communication analysis, we identified 609 candidate regeneration-associated ligand-receptor interaction pairs between LSCs and distinct niche cells, and discovered a unique subset of Arg1+ macrophages infiltrated after injury, which were present as the source of Oncostatin M (OSM), an IL-6 family cytokine, that were demonstrated to effectively accelerate the corneal epithelial wound healing. CONCLUSIONS This research provides a valuable single-cell resource and reference for the discovery of mechanisms and potential clinical interventions aimed at ocular surface reconstruction.

Abstract
Chronic wound rescue is critical for diabetic patients but is challenging to achieve with a specific and long-term strategy. The prolonged bacterial inflammation is particularly prevalent in hyperglycemia-induced wounds, usually leading to severe tissue damage. Such a trend could further suffer from an environmental suitability provided by macrophages for persisting Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and even deteriorate by their mutual reinforcement. However, the strategy of both suppressing bacteria growth and immunoreprogramming the inflammatory type of macrophages to break their vicious harm to wound healing is still lacking. Here, a self-adapting biomass carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) hydrogel comprising immunomodulatory nanoparticles is reported to achieve Gram-negative/Gram-positive bacteria elimination and anti-inflammatory cytokines induction to ameliorate the cutaneous microenvironment. Mechanistically, antibacterial peptides and CMCs synergistically result in a long-term inhibition against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) over a period of 7 days, and miR-301a reprograms the M2 macrophage via the PTEN/PI3Kγ/mTOR signaling pathway, consequently mitigating inflammation and promoting angiogenesis for diabetic wound healing in rats. In this vein, immunoregulatory hydrogel is a promising all-biomass dressing ensuring biocompatibility, providing a perspective to regenerate cutaneous damaged tissue, and repairing chronic wounds on skin.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints and surrounding soft tissues, characterized by chronic inflammation and proliferation of the synovium. Various immune cells are involved in the pathophysiology of RA. The complex interplay of factors such as chronic inflammation, genetic susceptibility, dysregulation of serum antibody levels, among others, contribute to the complexity of the disease mechanism, disease activity, and treatment of RA. Recently, the cytokine storm leading to increased disease activity in RA has gained significant attention. Interleukin-33 (IL-33), a member of the IL-1 family, plays a crucial role in inflammation and immune regulation. ST2 (suppression of tumorigenicity 2 receptor), the receptor for IL-33, is widely expressed on the surface of various immune cells. When IL-33 binds to its receptor ST2, it activates downstream signaling pathways to exert immunoregulatory effects. In RA, IL-33 regulates the progression of the disease by modulating immune cells such as circulating monocytes, tissue-resident macrophages, synovial fibroblasts, mast cells, dendritic cells, neutrophils, T cells, B cells, endothelial cells, and others. We have summarized and analyzed these findings to elucidate the pathways through which IL-33 regulates RA. Furthermore, IL-33 has been detected in the synovium, serum, and synovial fluid of RA patients. Due to inconsistent research results, we conducted a meta-analysis on the association between serum IL-33, synovial fluid IL-33, and the risk of developing RA in patients. The pooled SMD was 1.29 (95% CI: 1.15-1.44), indicating that IL-33 promotes the onset and pathophysiological progression of RA. Therefore, IL-33 may serve as a biomarker for predicting the risk of developing RA and treatment outcomes. As existing drugs for RA still cannot address drug resistance in some patients, new therapeutic approaches are needed to alleviate the significant burden on RA patients and healthcare systems. In light of this, we analyzed the potential of targeting the IL-33/ST2-related signaling pathway to modulate immune cells associated with RA and alleviate inflammation. We also reviewed IL-33 and RA susceptibility-related single nucleotide polymorphisms, suggesting potential involvement of IL-33 and macrophage-related drug-resistant genes in RA resistance therapy. Our review elucidates the role of IL-33 in the pathophysiology of RA, offering new insights for the treatment of RA.

Abstract
The immune response holds a pivotal role in cardiovascular disease development. As multifunctional cells of the innate immune system, macrophages play an essential role in initial inflammatory response that occurs following cardiovascular injury, thereby inducing subsequent damage while also facilitating recovery. Meanwhile, the diverse phenotypes and phenotypic alterations of macrophages strongly associate with distinct types and severity of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary heart disease, valvular disease, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, atherosclerosis and aneurysm, which underscores the importance of investigating macrophage regulatory mechanisms within the context of specific diseases. Besides, recent strides in single-cell sequencing technologies have revealed macrophage heterogeneity, cell-cell interactions, and downstream mechanisms of therapeutic targets at a higher resolution, which brings new perspectives into macrophage-mediated mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets in cardiovascular diseases. Remarkably, myocardial fibrosis, a prevalent characteristic in most cardiac diseases, remains a formidable clinical challenge, necessitating a profound investigation into the impact of macrophages on myocardial fibrosis within the context of cardiac diseases. In this review, we systematically summarize the diverse phenotypic and functional plasticity of macrophages in regulatory mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases and unprecedented insights introduced by single-cell sequencing technologies, with a focus on different causes and characteristics of diseases, especially the relationship between inflammation and fibrosis in cardiac diseases (myocardial infarction, pressure overload, myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy and cardiac aging) and the relationship between inflammation and vascular injury in vascular diseases (atherosclerosis and aneurysm). Finally, we also highlight the preclinical/clinical macrophage targeting strategies and translational implications.

Abstract
Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a formidable challenge in cardiovascular medicine, demanding advanced reperfusion strategies such as emergency percutaneous coronary intervention. While successful revascularization is pivotal, the persistent "no-reflow" phenomenon remains a clinical hurdle, often intertwined with microvascular dysfunction. Within this intricate scenario, the emergence of intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) has garnered attention as a significant contributor. This review offers a detailed exploration of the multifaceted relationship between IMH and the "no-reflow" phenomenon, delving into the mechanisms governing IMH occurrence, state-of-the-art diagnostic modalities, predictive factors, clinical implications, and the evolving landscape of preventive and therapeutic strategies. The nuanced examination aims to deepen our comprehension of IMH, providing a foundation for the identification of innovative therapeutic avenues and enhanced clinical outcomes for STEMI patients.

Abstract
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, stands as the primary cause of dilated cardiomyopathy in the Americas. Macrophages play a crucial role in the heart's response to infection. Given their functional and phenotypic adaptability, manipulating specific macrophage subsets could be vital in aiding essential cardiovascular functions including tissue repair and defense against infection. PPARα are ligand-dependent transcription factors involved in lipid metabolism and inflammation regulation. However, the role of fenofibrate, a PPARα ligand, in the activation profile of cardiac macrophages as well as its effect on the early inflammatory and fibrotic response in the heart remains unexplored. The present study demonstrates that fenofibrate significantly reduces not only the serum activity of tissue damage biomarker enzymes (LDH and GOT) but also the circulating proportions of pro-inflammatory monocytes (CD11b+ LY6Chigh). Furthermore, both CD11b+ Ly6Clow F4/80high macrophages (MΦ) and recently differentiated CD11b+ Ly6Chigh F4/80high monocyte-derived macrophages (MdMΦ) shift toward a resolving phenotype (CD206high) in the hearts of fenofibrate-treated mice. This shift correlates with a reduction in fibrosis, inflammation, and restoration of ventricular function in the early stages of Chagas disease. These findings encourage the repositioning of fenofibrate as a potential ancillary immunotherapy adjunct to antiparasitic drugs, addressing inflammation to mitigate Chagas disease symptoms.

Abstract
C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) is a monocyte chemokine associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Kidney stones (KS) are composed of calcium oxalate (CaOx), which trigger renal oxidative stress and inflammatory. This study aims to evaluate the effects of CCR2 on KS in vivo and in vitro. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with glyoxylate (GOX) daily to establish a KS model, and along with CCR2 antagonist (INCB3344) treatment on days 2, 4, and 6. The results showed that CCR2 antagonist reduced renal injury markers (blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine), alleviated renal tubular injury and CaOx crystal deposition. CCR2 antagonist also decreased CCR2 expression induced by GOX treatment and increased Nrf2 expression. GOX treatment promoted malondialdehyde (MDA) production, decreased glutathione (GSH) content, and inhibited catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, however, CCR2 antagonist attenuated the above effects of GOX. CCR2 antagonist had inhibitory effects on GOX-induced inflammatory cytokine expression (IL1B, IL6 and MCP1), and inhibited apoptosis by increasing Bcl-2 expression and decreasing Bax and cleaved-caspase 3 expression. In vitro experiments were performed by co-culture model of CaOx-induced damaged HK-2 cells and macrophage-like THP-1 cells. CCR2 antagonist inhibited CaOx-induced THP-1 cell M1 polarization by decreasing the TNF-α, IL6 and iNOS levels, and further alleviated CaOx-induced oxidative stress damage, inflammatory response and apoptosis of HK-2 cells. The study suggests that CCR2 antagonist may be resistant to CaOx crystals-induced oxidative stress and inflammation by inhibiting macrophage M1 polarization.

Atherosclerosis is featured as chronic low-grade inflammation in the arteries, which leads to the formation of plaques rich in lipids. M2 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (M2EV) have significant potential for anti-atherosclerotic therapy. However, their therapeutic effectiveness has been hindered by their limited targeting capability in vivo. The objective of this study was to create the P-M2EV (platelet membrane-modified M2EV) using the membrane fusion technique in order to imitate the interaction between platelets and macrophages. P-M2EV exhibited excellent physicochemical properties, and microRNA (miRNA)-sequencing revealed that the extrusion process had no detrimental effects on miRNAs carried by the nanocarriers. Remarkably, miR-99a-5p was identified as the miRNA with the highest expression level, which targeted the mRNA of Homeobox A1 (HOXA1) and effectively suppressed the formation of foam cells in vitro. In an atherosclerotic low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient (Ldlr-/-) mouse model, the intravenous injection of P-M2EV showed enhanced targeting and greater infiltration into atherosclerotic plaques compared to regular extracellular vesicles. Crucially, P-M2EV successfully suppressed the progression of atherosclerosis without causing systemic toxicity. The findings demonstrated a biomimetic platelet-mimic system that holds great promise for the treatment of atherosclerosis in clinical settings.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction is an important cardiovascular disease worldwide. Although the mortality rate of myocardial infarction (MI) has improved dramatically in recent years due to timely treatment, adverse remodeling of the left ventricle continues to affect cardiac function. Various immune cells are involved in this process to induce inflammation and amplification. The infiltration of inflammatory cells in the infarcted myocardium is induced by various cytokines and chemokines, and the recruitment of leukocytes further amplifies the inflammatory response. As an increasing number of clinical anti-inflammatory therapies have achieved significant success in recent years, treating myocardial infarction by targeting inflammation may become a novel therapeutic option. In particular, successful clinical trials of canakinumab have demonstrated the important role of the inflammatory factor interleukin-1 (IL-1) in atherosclerosis. Targeted IL-1 therapy may decrease inflammation levels and improve cardiac function in patients after myocardial infarction. This article reviews the complex series of responses after myocardial infarction, including the involvement of inflammatory cells and the role of cytokines and chemokines, focusing on the progression of the IL-1 family in myocardial infarction as well as the performance of current targeted therapy drugs in experiments.

Abstract
The infarcted heart undergoes irreversible pathological remodeling after reperfusion involving left ventricle dilation and excessive inflammatory reactions in the infarcted heart, frequently leading to fatal functional damage. Extensive attempts have been made to attenuate pathological remodeling in infarcted hearts using cardiac patches and anti-inflammatory drug delivery. In this study, we developed a paintable and adhesive hydrogel patch using dextran-aldehyde (dex-ald) and gelatin, incorporating the anti-inflammatory protein, ANGPTL4, into the hydrogel for sustained release directly to the infarcted heart to alleviate inflammation. We optimized the material composition, including polymer concentration and molecular weight, to achieve a paintable, adhesive hydrogel using 10% gelatin and 5% dex-ald, which displayed in-situ gel formation within 135 s, cardiac tissue-like modulus (40.5 kPa), suitable tissue adhesiveness (4.3 kPa), and excellent mechanical stability. ANGPTL4 was continuously released from the gelatin/dex-ald hydrogel without substantial burst release. The gelatin/dex-ald hydrogel could be conveniently painted onto the beating heart and degraded in vivo. Moreover, in vivo studies using animal models of acute myocardial infarction revealed that our hydrogel cardiac patch containing ANGPTL4 significantly improved heart tissue repair, evaluated by echocardiography and histological evaluation. The heart tissues treated with ANGPTL4-loaded hydrogel patches exhibited increased vascularization, reduced inflammatory macrophages, and structural maturation of cardiac cells. Our novel hydrogel system, which allows for facile paintability, appropriate tissue adhesiveness, and sustained release of anti-inflammatory drugs, will serve as an effective platform for the repair of various tissues, including heart, muscle, and cartilage.

Abstract
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), with its morbidity characteristics of high disability rate and high mortality rate, is a disease that is highly destructive to both the physiology and psychology of the patient, and for which there is still a lack of effective treatment. Following spinal cord injury, a cascade of secondary injury reactions known as ischemia, peripheral inflammatory cell infiltration, oxidative stress, etc. create a microenvironment that is unfavorable to neural recovery and ultimately results in apoptosis and necrosis of neurons and glial cells. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation has emerged as a more promising therapeutic options in recent years. MSC can promote spinal cord injury repair through a variety of mechanisms, including immunomodulation, neuroprotection, and nerve regeneration, giving patients with spinal cord injury hope. In this paper, it is discussed the neuroprotection and nerve regeneration components of MSCs' therapeutic method for treating spinal cord injuries.

Abstract
Early and prompt reperfusion therapy has markedly improved the survival rates among patients enduring myocardial infarction (MI). Nonetheless, the resulting adverse remodeling and the subsequent onset of heart failure remain formidable clinical management challenges and represent a primary cause of disability in MI patients worldwide. Macrophages play a crucial role in immune system regulation and wield a profound influence over the inflammatory repair process following MI, thereby dictating the degree of myocardial injury and the subsequent pathological remodeling. Despite numerous previous biological studies that established the classical polarization model for macrophages, classifying them as either M1 pro-inflammatory or M2 pro-reparative macrophages, this simplistic categorization falls short of meeting the precision medicine standards, hindering the translational advancement of clinical research. Recently, advances in single-cell sequencing technology have facilitated a more profound exploration of macrophage heterogeneity and plasticity, opening avenues for the development of targeted interventions to address macrophage-related factors in the aftermath of MI. In this review, we provide a summary of macrophage origins, tissue distribution, classification, and surface markers. Furthermore, we delve into the multifaceted roles of macrophages in maintaining cardiac homeostasis and regulating inflammation during the post-MI period.

Abstract
Research on the role of extracellular vesicles (sEV) in physiology has demonstrated their undoubted importance in processes such as the transportation of molecules with significance for cell metabolism, cell communication, and the regulation of mechanisms such as cell differentiation, inflammation, and immunity. Although the role of EVs in the immune response is actively investigated, there is little literature revising, in a comprehensive manner, the role of small EVs produced by immune cells. Here, we present a review of studies reporting the release of sEV by different types of leukocytes and the implications of such observations on cellular homeostasis. We also discuss the function of immune cell-derived sEV and their relationship with pathological states, highlighting their potential application in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease caused by bacterial irritation. As an essential component of the host immunity, macrophages are highly plastic and play a crucial role in inflammatory response. An appropriate and timely transition from proinflammatory (M1) to anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages is indispensable for treating periodontitis. As M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (M2-exos) can actively target inflammatory sites and modulate immune microenvironments, M2-exos can effectively treat periodontitis. Excessive endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) and unfolded protein response (UPR) are highly destructive pathological characteristics during inflammatory periodontal bone loss. Although melatonin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, studies focusing on melatonin ER stress modulation remain limited. This study fabricates engineered M2-exos loading with melatonin (Mel@M2-exos) for treating periodontitis. As a result, M2-exos drive an appropriate and timely macrophage reprogramming from M1 to M2 type, which resolves chronic inflammation and accelerated periodontal healing. Melatonin released from Mel@M2-exos rescues the osteogenic and cementogenic differentiation capacity in inflammatory human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) by reducing excessive ER stress and UPR. Injectable gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels with sustained-release Mel@M2-exos accelerate periodontal bone regeneration in rats with ligation-induced periodontitis. Taken together, melatonin engineering M2 macrophage-derived exosomes are promising candidates for inflammatory periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory types are the main phenotypes of the macrophage, which are commonly notified as M1 and M2, respectively. The alteration of macrophage phenotypes and the progression of inflammation are intimately associated; both phenotypes usually coexist throughout the whole inflammation stage, involving the transduction of intracellular signals and the secretion of extracellular cytokines. This paper aims to address the interaction of macrophages and surrounding cells and tissues with inflammation-related diseases and clarify the crosstalk of signal pathways relevant to the phenotypic metamorphosis of macrophages. On these bases, some novel therapeutic methods are proposed for regulating inflammation through monitoring the transition of macrophage phenotypes so as to prevent the negative effects of antibiotic drugs utilized in the long term in the clinic. This information will be quite beneficial for the diagnosis and treatment of inflammation-related diseases like pneumonia and other disorders involving macrophages.
