J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:416. [PMID: 39014402 PMCID: PMC11253342 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02688-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-associated anticancer approaches usually suffer from two limitations, i.e., insufficient ROS level and short ROS half-life. Nevertheless, no report has synchronously addressed both concerns yet. Herein, a multichannel actions-enabled nanotherapeutic platform using hollow manganese dioxide (H-MnO2) carriers to load chlorin e6 (Ce6) sonosensitizer and CO donor (e.g., Mn2(CO)10) has been constructed to maximumly elevate ROS level and trigger cascade catalysis to produce CO. Therein, intratumoral H2O2 and ultrasound as endogenous and exogeneous triggers stimulate H-MnO2 and Ce6 to produce •OH and 1O2, respectively. The further cascade reaction between ROS and Mn2(CO)10 proceeds to release CO, converting short-lived ROS into long-lived CO. Contributed by them, such a maximumly-elevated ROS accumulation and long-lived CO release successfully suppresses the progression, recurrence and metastasis of lung cancer with a prolonged survival rate. More significantly, proteomic and genomic investigations uncover that the CO-induced activation of AKT signaling pathway, NRF-2 phosphorylation and HMOX-1 overexpression induce mitochondrial dysfunction to boost anti-tumor consequences. Thus, this cascade catalysis strategy can behave as a general means to enrich ROS and trigger CO release against refractory cancers.

Biosynthesis of fungus-based oral selenium microcarriers for radioprotection and immuno-homeostasis shaping against radiation-induced heart disease. Bioact Mater 2024; 37:393-406. [PMID: 38689659 PMCID: PMC11059443 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.03.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD), characterized by severe oxidative stress and immune dysregulation, is a serious condition affecting cancer patients undergoing thoracic radiation. Unfortunately, clinical interventions for RIHD are lacking. Selenium (Se) is a trace element with excellent antioxidant and immune-modulatory properties. However, its application in heart radioprotection remains challenging. Herein, we developed a novel bioactive Cordyceps militaris-based Se oral delivery system (Se@CM), which demonstrated superior radioprotection effects in vitro against X-ray-induced damage in H9C2 cells through suppressing excessive ROS generation, compared to the radioprotectant Amifostine. Moreover, Se@CM exhibited exceptional cardioprotective effects in vivo against X-ray irradiation, reducing cardiac dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis by balancing the redox equilibrium and modulating the expression of Mn-SOD and MDA. Additionally, Se@CM maintained immuno-homeostasis, as evidenced by the upregulated population of T cells and M2 macrophages through modulation of selenoprotein expression after irradiation. Together, these results highlight the remarkable antioxidant and immunity modulation properties of Se@CM and shed light on its promising application for cardiac protection against IR-induced disease. This research provides valuable insights into developing effective strategies for preventing and managing RIHD.

Abstract
Baicalin (BAN) has shown promise in alleviating myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, yet its limited solubility and biocompatibility have hindered its application. Developing drug delivery systems is a promising strategy to enhance the therapeutic potential of BAN in the context of I/R injury. This study aims to prepare a BAN-loaded nanodrug system using polydopamine (PDA)-modified Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) as a carrier, with the goal of improving BAN's mitigating effects on I/R injury. We prepared the BAN nanoparticles (NPs) system, PZB NPs, using ZIF-8 as the carrier. The system was characterized in terms of morphology, particle size, zeta potential, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). We assessed the cytotoxicity of PZB NPs in H9c2 cells, investigated its effects and mechanisms in H/R-induced H9c2 cells, and evaluated its ability to alleviate myocardial I/R injury in rats. PZB NPs exhibited good dispersion, with a BAN loading efficiency of 26.43 ± 1.55%, a hydrated particle size of 102.21 ± 1.19 nm, and a zeta potential of -24.84 ± 0.07 mV. It displayed slow and sustained drug release in an acidic environment (pH 5.5). In vitro studies revealed that PZB NPs was non-cytotoxic and significantly enhanced the recovery of H/R injury H9c2 cell viability. PZB NPs suppressed cell apoptosis, activated the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, and cleared ROS. In vivo study demonstrated that PZB NPs significantly reduced infarct size, ameliorated fibrosis and improved heart function. The PZB NPs markedly enhances BAN's ability to alleviate I/R injury, both in vitro and in vivo, offering a promising drug delivery system for clinical applications.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy holds significant promise for addressing diverse malignancies. Nevertheless, its efficacy remains constrained by the intricate tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. Herein, a light-triggered nanozyme Fe-TCPP-R848-PEG (Fe-MOF-RP) was designed for remodeling the immunosuppressive microenvironment. The Fe-TCPP-MOFs were utilized not only as a core catalysis component against tumor destruction but also as a biocompatible delivery vector of an immunologic agonist, improving its long circulation and tumor enrichment. Concurrently, it catalyzes the decomposition of H2O2 within the tumor, yielding oxygen to augment photodynamic therapy. The induced ferroptosis, in synergy with photodynamic therapy, prompts the liberation of tumor-associated antigens from tumor cells inducing immunogenic cell death. Phototriggered on-demand release of R848 agonists stimulated the maturation of dendritic cells and reverted the tumor-promoting M2 phenotypes into adoptive M1 macrophages, which further reshaped the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. Notably, the nanozyme effectively restrains well-established tumors, such as B16F10 melanoma. Moreover, it demonstrates a distal tumor-inhibiting effect upon in situ light treatment. What is more, in a lung metastasis model, it elicits robust immune memory, conferring enduring protection against tumor rechallenge. Our study presents a straightforward and broadly applicable strategy for crafting nanozymes with the potential to effectively thwart cancer recurrence and metastasis.

The Antioxidant Dendrobium officinale Polysaccharide Modulates Host Metabolism and Gut Microbiota to Alleviate High-Fat Diet-Induced Atherosclerosis in ApoE -/- Mice. Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:599. [PMID: 38790704 PMCID: PMC11117934 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13050599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The discovery of traditional plants' medicinal and nutritional properties has opened up new avenues for developing pharmaceutical and dietary strategies to prevent atherosclerosis. However, the effect of the antioxidant Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide (DOP) on atherosclerosis is still not elucidated. PURPOSE This study aims to investigate the inhibitory effect and the potential mechanism of DOP on high-fat diet-induced atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-/-) mice. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The identification of DOP was measured by high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPLC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). We used high-fat diet (HFD)-induced atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice as an animal model. In the DOP intervention stage, the DOP group was treated by gavage with 200 μL of 200 mg/kg DOP at regular times each day and continued for eight weeks. We detected changes in serum lipid profiles, inflammatory factors, anti-inflammatory factors, and antioxidant capacity to investigate the effect of the DOP on host metabolism. We also determined microbial composition using 16S rRNA gene sequencing to investigate whether the DOP could improve the structure of the gut microbiota in atherosclerotic mice. RESULTS DOP effectively inhibited histopathological deterioration in atherosclerotic mice and significantly reduced serum lipid levels, inflammatory factors, and malondialdehyde (F/B) production. Additionally, the levels of anti-inflammatory factors and the activity of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), were significantly increased after DOP intervention. Furthermore, we found that DOP restructures the gut microbiota composition by decreasing the Firmicutes/Bacteroidota (F/B) ratio. The Spearman's correlation analysis indicated that serum lipid profiles, antioxidant activity, and pro-/anti-inflammatory factors were associated with Firmicutes, Bacteroidota, Allobaculum, and Coriobacteriaceae_UCG-002. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that DOP has the potential to be developed as a food prebiotic for the treatment of atherosclerosis in the future.

Abstract
Medications have been a part of space travel dating back to the Apollo missions. Currently, medical kits aboard the International Space Station (ISS) contain medications and supplies to treat a variety of possible medical events. As we prepare for more distant exploration missions to Mars and beyond, risk management planning for astronaut healthcare should include the assembly of a medication formulary that is comprehensive enough to prevent or treat anticipated medical events, remains safe and chemically stable, and retains sufficient potency to last for the duration of the mission. Emerging innovation and technologies in pharmaceutical development, delivery, quality maintenance, and validation offer promise for addressing these challenges. The present editorial will summarize the current state of knowledge regarding innovative formulary optimization strategies, pharmaceutical stability assessment techniques, and storage and packaging solutions that could enhance drug safety and efficacy for future exploration spaceflight missions.
