Abstract
Ischemic vascular diseases are on the rise globally, including ischemic heart diseases, ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, and ischemic peripheral arterial diseases, posing a significant threat to life. Copper is an essential element in various biological processes, copper deficiency can reduce blood vessel elasticity and increase platelet aggregation, thereby increasing the risk of ischemic vascular disease; however, excess copper ions can lead to cytotoxicity, trigger cell death, and ultimately result in vascular injury through several signaling pathways. Herein, we review the role of cuproptosis and copper deficiency implicated in ischemic injury and repair including myocardial, cerebral, and limb ischemia. We conclude with a perspective on the therapeutic opportunities and future challenges of copper biology in understanding the pathogenesis of ischemic vascular disease states.

Abstract
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) refers to a severe condition resulting from gradual obstruction in the supply of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the limbs. The most promising clinical solution to CLI is therapeutic angiogenesis. This study explored the potency of pro-angiogenic terbium hydroxide nanorods (THNR) for treatment of CLI, with a major focus on their impact on ischemia-induced maladaptive alterations in endothelial cells as well as on vascularization in ischemic limbs. This study demonstrated that, in hypoxia-exposed endothelial cells, THNR improve survival and promote proliferation, migration, restoration of nitric oxide production, and regulation of vascular permeability. Based on molecular studies, these attributes of THNR can be traced to the stimulation of PI3K/AKT/eNOS signaling pathways. Besides, Wnt/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathways may also play a role in the therapeutic actions of THNR. Furthermore, in the murine model of CLI, THNR administration can integrally re-establish blood perfusion with concomitant reduction of muscle damage and inflammation. Additionally, improvement of locomotor activities and motor coordination in ischemic limbs in THNR treated mice is also evident. Overall, the study demonstrates that THNR have the potential to be developed as an efficacious and cost-effective alternative clinical therapy for CLI, using a nanomedicine approach.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery strategies have emerged as a crucial avenue for comprehensive sensorineural hearing loss treatment. Nevertheless, developing therapy vectors crossing both biological and cellular barriers has encountered significant challenges deriving from various external factors. Herein, the rational integration of gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) with tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) to engineer a distinct drug-delivery nanosystem (designed as TDN@GNP) efficiently enhances the biological permeability and cellular internalization, further resolving the dilemma of noise-induced hearing loss via loading epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with anti-lipid peroxidation property. Rationally engineering of TDN@GNP demonstrates dramatic alterations in the physicochemical key parameters of TDNs that are pivotal in cell-particle interactions and promote cellular uptake through multiple endocytic pathways. Furthermore, the EGCG-loaded nanosystem (TDN-EGCG@GNP) facilitates efficient inner ear drug delivery by superior permeability through the biological barrier (round window membrane), maintaining high drug concentration within the inner ear. The TDN-EGCG@GNP actively overcomes the cell membrane, exhibiting hearing protection from noise insults via reduced lipid peroxidation in outer hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. This work exemplifies how integrating diverse vector functionalities can overcome biological and cellular barriers in the inner ear, offering promising applications for inner ear disorders.

Abstract
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) therapeutics offer a broad prospect in cancer treatment. However, their successful application requires overcoming various physiological barriers to effectively deliver RNAs to the target sites. Currently, a number of RNA delivery systems based on polymeric nanoparticles are developed to overcome these barriers in RNA delivery. This work provides an overview of the existing RNA therapeutics for cancer gene therapy, and particularly summarizes those that are entering the clinical phase. This work then discusses the core features and latest research developments of tumor microenvironment-responsive polymer-based RNA delivery carriers which are designed based on the pathological characteristics of the tumor microenvironment. Finally, this work also proposes opportunities for the transformation of RNA therapies into cancer immunotherapy methods in clinical applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have attracted extensive attention due to their high degree of cell targeting, biocompatibility, controllable biological activity, and outstanding pharmacokinetics. Changing the size, morphology, and surface chemical groups of nanoparticles can increase the biological distribution of agents to achieve precise tissue targeting and optimize therapeutic effects. Examples of their use include nanoparticles designed for increasing antigen-specific immune responses, developing vaccines, and treating inflammatory diseases. Nanoparticles show the potential to become a new generation of therapeutic agents for regulating inflammation. Recently, many nanomaterials with targeted properties have been developed to treat acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). In this review, we provide a brief explanation of the pathological mechanism underlying ALI/ARDS and a systematic overview of the latest technology and research progress in nanomedicine treatments of ALI, including improved nanocarriers, nanozymes, and nanovaccines for the targeted treatment of lung injury. Ultimately, these nanomedicines will be used for the clinical treatment of ALI/ARDS.

Abstract
Inflammation is prevalent and inevitable in daily life but can generally be accommodated by the immune systems. However, incapable self-healing and persistent inflammation can progress to chronic inflammation, leading to prevalent or fatal chronic diseases. This review comprehensively covers the topic of emerging drug delivery systems (DDSs) for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs). First, we introduce the basic biology of the chronic inflammatory process and provide an overview of the main CIDs of the major organs. Next, up-to-date information on various DDSs and the associated strategies for ensuring targeted delivery and stimuli-responsiveness applied to CIDs are discussed extensively. The implementation of traditional routes of drug administration to maximize their therapeutic effects against CIDs is then summarized. Finally, perspectives on future DDSs against CIDs are presented.

Abstract
The world has been dealing with a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) since the end of 2019, which threatens the lives of many people worldwide. COVID-19 causes respiratory infection with different symptoms, from sneezing and coughing to pneumonia and sometimes gastric symptoms. Researchers worldwide are actively developing novel drug delivery systems (DDSs), such as stimuli-responsive DDSs. The ability of these carriers to respond to external/internal and even multiple stimuli is essential in creating "smart" DDS that can effectively control dosage, sustained release, individual variations, and targeted delivery. To conduct a comprehensive literature survey for this article, the terms "Stimuli-responsive", "COVID-19″ and "Drug delivery" were searched on databases/search engines like "Google Scholar", "NCBI", "PubMed", and "Science Direct". Many different types of DDSs have been proposed, including those responsive to various exogenous (light, heat, ultrasound and magnetic field) or endogenous (microenvironmental changes in pH, ROS and enzymes) stimuli. Despite significant progress in DDS research, several challenging issues must be addressed to fill the gaps in the literature. Therefore, this study reviews the drug release mechanisms and applications of endogenous/exogenous stimuli-responsive DDSs while also exploring their potential with respect to COVID-19.

Abstract
This paper is about the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) - and of their nanoparticle-mediated extracellular removal - in the TGF-β1-induced differentiation of fibroblasts (human dermal fibroblasts - HDFa) to more contractile myofibroblasts, and in the maintenance of this phenotype. Here, poly(propylene sulfide) (PPS) nanoparticles have been employed on 2D and 3D in vitro models, showing extremely low toxicity and undergoing negligible internalization, thereby ensuring an extracellular-only action. Firstly, PPS nanoparticles abrogated ROS-mediated downstream molecular events such as glutathione oxidation, NF-κB activation, and heme oxidase-1 (HMOX) overexpression. Secondly, PPS nanoparticles were also capable to inhibit, prevent and reverse the TGF-β1-induced upregulation of key biomechanical elements, such as ED-a fibronectin (EF-A FN) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), respectively markers of protomyofibroblastic and of myofibroblastic differentiation. We also confirmed that ROS alone are ineffective promoters of the myofibroblastic transition, although their presence contributes to its stabilization. Finally, the particles also countered TGF-β1-induced matrix- and tissue-level phenomena, e.g., the upregulation of collagen type 1, the development of aberrant collagen type 1/3 ratios and the contracture of HDFa 3D-seeded fibrin constructs. In short, experimental data at molecular, cellular and tissue levels show a significant potential in the use of PPS nanoparticles as anti-fibrotic agents.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP) supra-assembly offers unique opportunities to tune macroscopic hydrogels' mechanical strength, material degradation, and drug delivery properties. Here, synthetic, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive NPs are physically crosslinked with hyaluronic acid (HA) through guest-host chemistry to create shear-thinning NP/HA hydrogels. A library of triblock copolymers composed of poly(propylene sulfide)-bl-poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-bl-poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide-co-N-(1-adamantyl)acrylamide) are synthesized with varied triblock architectures and adamantane grafting densities and then self-assembled into NPs displaying adamantane on their corona. Self-assembled NPs are mixed with β-cyclodextrin grafted HA to yield eighteen NP/HA hydrogel formulations. The NP/HA hydrogel platform demonstrates superior mechanical strength to HA-only hydrogels, susceptibility to oxidative/enzymatic degradation, and inherent cell-protective, antioxidant function. The performance of NP/HA hydrogels is shown to be affected by triblock architecture, guest/host grafting densities, and HA composition. In particular, the length of the hydrophilic second block and adamantane grafting density of self-assembled NPs significantly impacts hydrogel mechanical properties and shear-thinning behavior, while ROS-reactivity of poly(propylene sulfide) protects cells from cytotoxic ROS and reduces oxidative degradation of HA compared to HA-only hydrogels. This work provides insight into polymer structure-function considerations for designing hybrid NP/HA hydrogels and identifies antioxidant, shear-thinning hydrogels as promising injectable delivery platforms for small molecule drugs and therapeutic cells.

Abstract
Noise accounts for one-third of hearing loss worldwide. Regretfully, noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is deemed to be irreversible due to the elusive pathogenic mechanisms that have not been fully elucidated. The complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors, which influences numerous downstream molecular and cellular events, contributes to the NIHL. In clinical settings, there are no effective therapeutic drugs other than steroids, which are the only treatment option for patients with NIHL. Therefore, the need for treatment of NIHL that is currently unmet, along with recent progress in our understanding of the underlying regulatory mechanisms, has led to a lot of new literatures focusing on this therapeutic field. The emergence of novel technologies that modify local drug delivery to the inner ear has led to the development of promising therapeutic approaches, which are currently under clinical investigation. In this comprehensive review, we focus on outlining and analyzing the basics and potential therapeutics of NIHL, as well as the application of biomaterials and nanomedicines in inner ear drug delivery. The objective of this review is to provide an incentive for NIHL's fundamental research and future clinical translation.

Abstract
The regeneration of biological tissues in medicine is challenging, and 3D bioprinting offers an innovative way to create functional multicellular tissues. One common way in bioprinting is bioink, which is one type of the cell-loaded hydrogel. For clinical application, however, the bioprinting still suffers from satisfactory performance, e.g., in vascularization, effective antibacterial, immunomodulation, and regulation of collagen deposition. Many studies incorporated different bioactive materials into the 3D-printed scaffolds to optimize the bioprinting. Here, we reviewed a variety of additives added to the 3D bioprinting hydrogel. The underlying mechanisms and methodology for biological regeneration are important and will provide a useful basis for future research.

Oxygen is one of the essential requirements for cell survival, retention, and proliferation. The field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering (TE) has realized considerable achievements for the regeneration of tissues. However, tissue regeneration still lacks the full functionality of solid organ implantations; limited cell survival and retention due to oxidative stress and hypoxia in the deeper parts of tissues remains a perpetual challenge. Especially prior to neovascularization, hypoxia is a major limiting factor, since oxygen delivery becomes crucial for cell survival throughout the tissue-engineered construct. Oxygen diffusion is generally limited in the range 100-200 μm of the thickness of a scaffold, and the cells located beyond this distance face oxygen deprivation, which ultimately leads to hypoxia. Furthermore, before achieving functional anastomosis, implanted tissues will be depleted of oxygen, resulting in hypoxia (<5% dissolved oxygen) followed by anoxic (<0.5% dissolved oxygen) microenvironments. Different types of approaches have been adopted to establish a sustained oxygen supply both in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we have summarized the recent developments in oxygen-generating and/or releasing biomaterials for enhancing cell survival in vitro, as well as for promoting soft and hard tissue repair, including skin, heart, nerve, pancreas, muscle, and bone tissues in vivo. In addition, redox-scavenging biomaterials and oxygenated scaffolds have also been highlighted. The surveyed results have shown significant promise in oxygen-producing biomaterials and oxygen carriers for enhancing cell functionality for regenerative medicine and TE applications. Taken together, this review provides a detailed overview of newer approaches and technologies for oxygen production, as well as their applications for bio-related disciplines.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a major complication of diabetes mellitus with a high incidence. Oxidative stress, which is a crucial pathophysiological pathway of DPN, has attracted much attention. The distortion in the redox balance due to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the deregulation of antioxidant defense systems promotes oxidative damage in DPN. Therefore, we have focused on the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of DPN and elucidated its interaction with other physiological pathways, such as the glycolytic pathway, polyol pathway, advanced glycosylation end products, protein kinase C pathway, inflammation, and non-coding RNAs. These interactions provide novel therapeutic options targeting oxidative stress for DPN. Furthermore, our review addresses the latest therapeutic strategies targeting oxidative stress for the rehabilitation of DPN. Antioxidant supplements and exercise have been proposed as fundamental therapeutic strategies for diabetic patients through ROS-mediated mechanisms. In addition, several novel drug delivery systems can improve the bioavailability of antioxidants and the efficacy of DPN.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) delivery systems are promising for targeted drug delivery, imaging, and chemo-hyperthermia of cancer; however, their uses remain limited primarily due to their toxicity associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, targeted delivery, and biodegradation. Attempts employing polymer coatings to minimize the toxicity, along with other challenges, have had limited success. We designed a novel yet generic 'one-for-all' polypropylene sulphide (PPS) coated magnetic nano-delivery system (80 ± 15 nm) as a multi-faceted approach for significant biocompatibility improvement, loading of multiple drugs, ROS-responsive delivery, and combined chemo-hyperthermia therapy for biomedical applications. Three distinct MNP systems (15 ± 1 nm) were fabricated, coated with PPS polymer, and investigated to validate our hypothesis and design. Simultaneous degradation of MNPs and PPS coatings with ROS-scavenging characteristics boosted the biocompatibility of MNPs 2-3 times towards non-cancerous fibroblasts (NIH3T3) and human epithelial cells (HEK293). In an alternating magnetic field, PPS-MNPs (MnFe) had the strongest heating characteristics (SAR value of 240 W g-1). PPS-MNP drug-loaded NPs were efficiently internalised into cells and released 80% of the drugs under tumor microenvironment-mimicking (pH 5-7, ROS) conditions, and demonstrated effective chemo-hyperthermia (45 °C) application for breast cancer cells with 95% cell death in combined treatment vs. 55% and 30% cell death in only hyperthermia and chemotherapy respectively.

Abstract
Atherogenesis involves a complex multifactorial process including chronic inflammation that requires the participation of several cell types and molecules. In addition to their role in vascular homeostasis, extracellular vesicles also appear to play an important role in atherogenesis, including monocyte transmigration and foam cell formation, SMC proliferation and migration, leukocyte transmigration, and thrombosis. Peripheral arterial disease, a major form of peripheral vascular disease, is characterized by structural or functional impairment of peripheral arterial supply, often secondary to atherosclerosis. Elevated levels of extracellular vesicles have been demonstrated in patients with peripheral arterial disease and implicated in the development of atherosclerosis within peripheral vascular beds. However, extracellular vesicles also appear capable of delivering cargo with atheroprotective effects. This capability has been exploited in vesicles engineered to carry content capable of neovascularization, suggesting potential for therapeutic angiogenesis. This dual capacity holds substantial promise for diagnosis and therapy, including possibly limb- and life-saving options for peripheral arterial disease management.

Abstract
Redox imbalance can trigger cell dysfunction and damage and plays a vital role in the origin and progression of many diseases. Maintaining the balance between oxidants and antioxidants in vivo is a complicated and arduous task, leading to ongoing research into the construction of redox nanomaterials. Nanodrug platforms with redox characteristics can not only reduce the adverse effects of oxidative stress on tissues by removing excess oxidants from the body but also have multienzyme-like activity, which can play a cytotoxic role in tumor tissues through the catalytic oxidation of their substrates to produce harmful reactive oxygen species such as hydroxyl radicals. In this review, various redox nanomaterials currently used in disease therapy are discussed, emphasizing the treatment methods and their applications in tumors and other human tissues. Finally, the limitations of the current clinical application of redox nanomaterials are considered.

Abstract
Bacterial infections remain the leading cause of death worldwide today. The emergence of antibiotic resistance has urged the development of alternative antibacterial technologies to complement or replace traditional antibiotic treatments. In this regard, metal nanomaterials have attracted great attention for their controllable antibacterial functions that are less prone to resistance. This review discusses a particular family of stimuli-activable metal-bearing nanomaterials (denoted as SAMNs) and the associated on-demand antibacterial strategies. The various SAMN-enabled antibacterial strategies stem from basic light and magnet activation, with the addition of bacterial microenvironment responsiveness and/or bacteria-targeting selectivity and therefore offer higher spatiotemporal controllability. The discussion focuses on nanomaterial design principles, antibacterial mechanisms, and antibacterial performance, as well as emerging applications that desire on-demand and selective activation (i.e., medical antibacterial treatments, surface anti-biofilm, water disinfection, and wearable antibacterial materials). The review concludes with the authors' perspectives on the challenges and future directions for developing industrial translatable next-generation antibacterial strategies.

Abstract
Vascular diseases, such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), are associated with diabetes mellitus and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and even death. Surgical revascularization and pharmacological treatments (mainly antiplatelet, lipid-lowering drugs, and antidiabetic agents) have some effectiveness, but the response and efficacy of therapy are overly dependent on the patient’s conditions. Thus, the demand for new cures exists. In this regard, new studies on natural polyphenols that act on key points involved in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases and, thus, on PAD are of great urgency. The purpose of this review is to take into account the mechanisms that lead to endothelium dysfunction, such as the glycoxidation process and the production of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) that result in protein misfolding, and to suggest plant-derived polyphenols that could be useful in PAD. Thus, five polyphenols are considered, baicalein, curcumin, mangiferin, quercetin and resveratrol, reviewing the literature in PubMed. The key molecular mechanisms and preclinical and clinical studies of each selected compound are examined. Furthermore, the safety profiles of the polyphenols are outlined, together with the unwanted effects reported in humans, also by searching the WHO database (VigiBase).

Abstract
Tendinopathy is a common disorder that leads to pain and impaired quality of life. Recent studies revealed that osteogenic differentiation of tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) played an important role in the pathogenesis of tendon calcification and tendinopathy. In this study, we found that the growth hormone-releasing hormone agonist (GA) can prevent matrix degradation and osteogenic differentiation in TSPCs. As oxidative stress is a key factor in the osteogenic differentiation of TSPCs, we used bovine serum albumin/heparin nanoparticles (BHNPs), which have biocompatibility and drug loading capacity, to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and achieve sustained release of GA at the site of inflammation. The newly developed BHNPs@GA had a synergetic effect on reducing ROS production in TSPCs. In addition, BHNPs@GA effectively inhibited tendon calcification and promoted collagen formation in a rat model of tendinopathy. Focusing on the ROS underlying the differentiation and dedifferentiation of TSPCs, this work demonstrated that sustained release of GA targeting ROS and ectopic ossification is a practical therapeutic strategy for treating tendinopathy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Osteogenic differentiation of tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ectopic calcification in tendinopathy. In this study, we found that growth hormone-releasing hormone agonist (GA) can reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and adjust TSPCs differentiation. Bovine serum albumin/heparin nanoparticles (BHNPs) were developed to encapsulate GA and achieve sustained release of GA at the site of inflammation. The developed compound, BHNPs@GA, with a synergistic effect of inhibiting ROS and thus, can effectively adjust TSPCs differentiation, inhibit tendon calcification, and promote collagen formation in tendinopathy. This study highlighted the role of ROS underlying the differentiation and dedifferentiation of TSPCs in tendinopathy, and findings may help to identify new therapeutic targets and develop novel strategy for treating tendinopathy.

Abstract
Diabetes-related chronic wounds are often accompanied by a poor wound-healing environment such as high glucose, recurrent infections, and inflammation, and standard wound treatments are fairly limited in their ability to heal these wounds. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed to improve therapeutic outcomes due to their ease of engineering, surface functionalization, and therapeutic properties. In this review, we summarize the different synthesis methods of MOFs and conduct a comprehensive review of the latest research progress of MOFs in the treatment of diabetes and its wounds. State-of-the-art in vivo oral hypoglycemic strategies and the in vitro diagnosis of diabetes are enumerated and different antimicrobial strategies (including physical contact, oxidative stress, photothermal, and related ions or ligands) and provascular strategies for the treatment of diabetic wounds are compared. It focuses on the connections and differences between different applications of MOFs as well as possible directions for improvement. Finally, the potential toxicity of MOFs is also an issue that we cannot ignore.

Abstract
The development of a fast and safe reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive vector is generally limited by the intracellular unstable ROS concentration, and a relatively long time is still needed for the complete intracellular release of drugs or genes induced by ROS. In this work, a gene transfection platform based on ROS-responsive silicon nanowire arrays (SN) is developed, to promote the gene transfection efficiency for several cell lines. Briefly, the surface of the ROS generating system, gold nanoparticle modified SN (SN-Au), is grafted with poly[(2-acryloyl)ethyl(p-boronic acid benzyl)diethylammonium bromide] (B-PDEAEA), an oxidation-responsive charge-reversal cationic polymer. Plasmid DNA (pDNA) bound on the surface through electrostatic interactions was directly delivered into the cells by the time the nanowires penetrate the cells. SN-Au can generate ROS under light treatment, which has an influence on the surface charge change of B-PDEAEA grafted on gold nanoparticles, realizing effective pDNA release in the cytosol for transfection. Nearly 80% of DNA released from the surface of the platform after treated with 1 mM ROS for 10 min. The transfection efficiency of the platform for several cell types was significantly enhanced after a short period of light exposure (3.2-fold for HeLa cells, 7.6-fold for L929 cells, 2.3-fold for BMSC cells and 6.2-fold for mESC cells). The platform also has good biocompatibility. Overall, our results suggest that ROS-responsive SN is a novel, efficient and safe platform for drug and gene transfection.

Abstract
Currently, very limited therapeutic approaches are available for the drug treatment of atherosclerosis(AS). H2S-donor is becoming a common trend in much life-threatening research. Several studies have documented that H2S-lyase is predominantly present in endothelial cells. N-Acetylneuraminic acid (SA), natural carbohydrate, binds specifically to the E-selectin receptor of endothelial cells. Meanwhile, recent studies related to Chondroitin sulfate have excellent target binding ability with CD44 receptor. We conjecture that the N-Acetylneuraminic acid and Chondroitin sulfate modified nanomicelles not only enhances the accumulation of the drug but also cleaves the H2S donor in the lesion, thus one stone two birds. Given these findings, we synthesized two kinds of nanoparticles, Carrier I (SCCF) and Carrier II (SCTM), for atherosclerosis to validate our guesses. Initially, S-allyl-L-cysteine and 4-methoxyphenylthiourea were used as H2S donors for SCCF and SCTM, respectively. After the introduction of ROS-sensitive groups. Then, micelles with N-Acetylneuraminic acid and Chondroitin sulfate were prepared to load rapamycin(RAP). Further, in atherosclerosis Oil Red O staining (ORO) results confirmed remarkable treatment effect with SCCF@RAP and SCTM@RAP. Thus, we conclude that the effect of dual-targeting nanomicelles with ROS-sensitive H2S donor based on N-Acetylneuraminic acid and Chondroitin sulfate will have a better role in atherosclerosis.

J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:268. [PMID: 35689218 PMCID: PMC9185887 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01485-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been documented as the crucial cellular mechanism of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. However, numerous antioxidants have failed in clinical studies partly due to inefficient drug delivery to the cochlea. A drug delivery system is an attractive strategy to overcome this drawback. Methods and results In the present study, we proposed the combination of antioxidant astaxanthin (ATX) and ROS-responsive/consuming nanoparticles (PPS-NP) to combat cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. ATX-PPS-NP were constructed by the self-assembly of an amphiphilic hyperbranched polyphosphoester containing thioketal units, which scavenged ROS and disintegrate to release the encapsulated ATX. The ROS-sensitivity was confirmed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and an H2O2 ON/OFF stimulated model. Enhanced release profiles stimulated by H2O2 were verified in artificial perilymph, the HEI-OC1 cell line and guinea pigs. In addition, ATX-PPS-NP efficiently inhibited cisplatin-induced HEI-OC1 cell cytotoxicity and apoptosis compared with ATX or PPS-NP alone, suggesting an enhanced effect of the combination of the natural active compound ATX and ROS-consuming PPS-NP. Moreover, ATX-PPS-NP attenuated outer hair cell losses in cultured organ of Corti. In guinea pigs, NiRe-PPS-NP verified a quick penetration across the round window membrane and ATX-PPS-NP showed protective effect on spiral ganglion neurons, which further attenuated cisplatin-induced moderate hearing loss. Further studies revealed that the protective mechanisms involved decreasing excessive ROS generation, reducing inflammatory chemokine (interleukin-6) release, increasing antioxidant glutathione expression and inhibiting the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Conclusions Thus, this ROS-responsive nanoparticle encapsulating ATX has favorable potential in the prevention of cisplatin-induced hearing loss. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used for the treatment of pain, inflammation and fever. However, most NSAIDs are poorly water soluble, making it difficult to be administered thus high doses are required to reach the intended therapeutic effect, resulting in associated side effects. In this study, ROS-responsive micellar systems based on a block copolymer consisting of methylpropyl thioether (MTPA) and N'N-dimethylacrylamide was developed and loaded with ibuprofen (IBU). Using lipopolysaccharide activated RAW 264.7 macrophage like cells, we demonstrated that IBU was released from the copolymer, specifically in the presence of ROS. Interestingly, IBU encapsulated in ROS-responsive nanoparticles exhibited greater anti-inflammatory potency compared to its free form. The work highlights the potential of the ROS-responsive micellar system developed in this work to be used as carrier of NSAIDs for the treatment of relevant inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), acting as essential mediators in biological system, play important roles in the physiologic and pathologic processes, including cellular signal transductions and cell homeostasis interference. Aberrant expression of ROS in tissue microenvironment can be caused by the internal/external stimuli and tissue injury, which may leads to an elevated level of oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and cellular damage as well as disruption in the tissue repair process. To prevent the formation of excess ROS around the injury site, advanced biomaterials can be remodeled or instructed to release their payloads in an injury microenvironment-responsive fashion to regulate the elevated levels of the ROS, which may also help downregulate the oxidative stress and promote tissue regeneration. A multitude of scaffolds and bioactive cues have been reported to promote the regeneration of damaged tissues based on the scavenging of free radicals and reactive species that confer high protection to the cellular activity and tissue function. In this review, we outline the underlying mechanism of ROS generation in the tissue microenvironment and present a comprehensive review of ROS-scavenging biomaterials for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications, including soft tissues regeneration, bone and cartilage repair as well as wound healing. Additionally, we highlight the strategies for the regulation of ROS by scaffold design and processing technology. Taken together, developing ROS-based biomaterials may not only help develop advanced platforms for improving injury microenvironment but also accelerate tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Acute inflammation is essential for initiating and coordinating the body's response to injuries and infections. However, in acute inflammatory diseases, inflammation is not resolved but propagates further, which can ultimately lead to tissue damage such as in sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome and deep vein thrombosis. Currently, clinical protocols are limited to systemic steroidal treatments, fluids and antibiotics that focus on eradicating inflammation rather than modulating it. Strategies based on stem cell therapeutics and selective blocking of inflammatory molecules, despite showing great promise, still lack the scalability and specificity required to treat acute inflammation. By contrast, polymeric particle systems benefit from uniform manufacturing at large scales while preserving biocompatibility and versatility, thus providing an ideal platform for immune modulation. Here, we outline design aspects of polymeric particles including material, size, shape, deformability and surface modifications, providing a strategy for optimizing the targeting of acute inflammation.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has been investigated for decades, and it has provided promising results in preclinical studies. The most important issue that hinders researchers from advancing to clinical studies is the delivery system for immunotherapy agents, such as antigens, adjuvants and agonists, and the activation of these agents at the tumour site. Polymers are among the most versatile materials for a variety of treatments and diagnostics, and some polymers are reactive to either endogenous or exogenous stimuli. Utilizing this advantage, researchers have been developing novel and effective polymeric nanomaterials that can deliver immunotherapeutic moieties. In this review, we summarized recent works on stimuli-responsive polymeric nanomaterials that deliver antigens, adjuvants and agonists to tumours for immunotherapy purposes.

Abstract
Reactive polymersomes represent a versatile artificial cargo carrier system that can facilitate an immediate release in response to a specific stimulus. The herein presented oxidation-sensitive polymersomes feature a time-delayed release mechanism in an oxidative environment, which can be precisely adjusted by either tuning the membrane thickness or partial pre-oxidation. These polymeric vesicles are conveniently prepared by PISA allowing the straightforward and effective in situ encapsulation of cargo molecules, as shown for dyes and enzymes. Kinetic studies revealed a critical degree of oxidation causing the destabilization of the membrane, while no release of the cargo is observed beforehand. The encapsulation of glucose oxidase directly transforms these polymersomes into glucose-sensitive vesicles, as small molecules including sugars can passively penetrate their membrane. Considering the ease of preparation, these polymersomes represent a versatile platform for the confinement and burst release of cargo molecules after a precisely adjustable time span in the presence of specific triggers, such as H2 O2 or glucose.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a progressive atherosclerotic disorder characterized by blockages of the arteries supplying the lower extremities. Ischemia initiates oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in the legs of PAD patients, causing injury to the tissues of the leg, significant decline in walking performance, leg pain while walking, and in the most severe cases, nonhealing ulcers and gangrene. Current clinical trials based on cells/stem cells, the trophic factor, or gene therapy systems have shown some promising results for the treatment of PAD. Biomaterial matrices have been explored in animal models of PAD to enhance these therapies. However, current biomaterial approaches have not fully met the essential requirements for minimally invasive intramuscular delivery to the leg. Ideally, a biomaterial should present properties to ameliorate oxidative stress/damage and failure of angiogenesis. Recently, we have created a thermosensitive hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel with antioxidant capacity and skeletal muscle-matching stiffness. Here, we further optimized HA hydrogels with the cell adhesion peptide RGD to facilitate the development of vascular-like structures in vitro. The optimized HA hydrogel reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species levels and preserved vascular-like structures against H2O2-induced damage in vitro. HA hydrogels also provided prolonged release of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). After injection into rat ischemic hindlimb muscles, this VEGF-releasing hydrogel reduced lipid oxidation, regulated oxidative-related genes, enhanced local blood flow in the muscle, and improved running capacity of the treated rats. Our HA hydrogel system holds great potential for the treatment of the ischemic legs of patients with PAD.

Abstract
Diabetic wound healing is highly desirable but remains a great challenge owing to the continuous damage of excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and degradation of therapeutic peptide drugs by over-expressed matrix metalloproteinase (MMP). Herein, we developed a stimuli-responsive smart dressing for theranostics of diabetic wounds using graphene quantum dots-decorated luminescent porous silicon (GQDs@PSi), which was further loaded with peptide and embedded in chitosan (CS) film. The confinement of GQDs in nanochannels of PSi endowed GQDs@PSi with efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect, leading to initial red fluorescence of PSi with complete quench of GQD's blue fluorescence. Furthermore, the decoration of GQDs on PSi surface significantly enhanced the loading capacity for peptide drugs including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin (Ins) which can promote diabetic wounds healing. The peptides coloaded in GQDs@PSi exhibited sustained release behavior and could be protected in presence of MMP owing to size exclusion of PSi's nanochannels. As H2O2-triggered oxidation of PSi lead to weakened FRET effect and degradation of PSi, GQDs@PSi demonstrated H2O2-responsive ratiometric fluorescence change (from red PSi to blue GQDs) and drug release behavior. In combination with CS's degradation in the acidic and oxidation microenvironment, the smart dressing also showed stimuli-responsive drug release toward slightly acid and highly oxidative conditions in diabetic wounds. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated the smart dressing enhanced the proliferation and migration of cells as well as significantly healed diabetic wounds. Real-time indicating of the exacerbation or healing of diabetic wounds was also realized using the rate of fluorescent discoloration of the dressing. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this work, a dual luminescent nanomaterial was created by hosting graphene quantum dots (GQDs) in the nanochannel of porous silicon (PSi), which was further applied for theranostics of diabetic wound. The synergistic effect of the host-guest nanohybrid is significant. The GQDs can significantly improve the capacity for peptide drug loading and form a stimuli-response visual ratiometric sensor with luminescent PSi, which can also protect and sustain release of peptide drugs for effective diabetic wounds treatment. After embedded in a chitosan film, the smart dressing displayed H2O2-responsive visual ratiometric fluorescence change and drug release behavior. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated the smart dressing enhanced the proliferation and migration of cells as well as significantly healed diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Despite a potential drug with multiple pharmacological activities, curcumin has disadvantages of the poor water solubility, rapid metabolism, low bioavailability, which considerably limit its clinical application. Currently, polymeric micelles (PMs) have gained widespread concern due to their advantageous physical and chemical properties, easy preparation, and biocompatibility. They can be used to improve drug solubility, prolong blood circulation time, and allow passive targeted drug delivery to tumor through enhanced penetration and retention effect. Moreover, studies focused on tumor microenvironment offer alternatives to design stimulus-responsive smart PMs based on low pH, high levels of glutathione, altered enzyme expression, increased reactive oxygen species production, and hypoxia. There are various external stimuli, such as light, ultrasound, and temperature. These endogenous/exogenous stimuli can be used for the research of intelligent micelles. Intelligent PMs can effectively load curcumin with improved solubility, and intelligently respond to release the drug at a controlled rate at targeted sites such as tumors to avoid early release, which markedly improves the bioavailability of curcumin. The present review is aimed to discuss and summarize recent developments in research of curcumin-loaded intelligent PMs based on endogenous and exogenous stimuli, and facilitates the development of novel delivery systems for future research.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems have attracted widespread attention in recent years since they can control drug release in a spatiotemporal manner and can achieve tunable drug release according to patient's physiological or pathological condition. In this review, we briefly introduce the drug delivery barriers and drug delivery systems in the anterior and posterior segment of eyes, and collect the recent advances in stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems in eyes for controlled drug release in response to exogenous stimuli (ultrasound, magnetic stimulus, electrical stimulus, and light) or endogenous stimuli (enzyme, active oxygen species, temperature, ions, and pH). In addition, the design and mechanisms of the stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems have been summarized in this review, and the advantages and limitations are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediate multiple physiological functions; however, the over-accumulation of ROS causes premature aging and/or death and is associated with various inflammatory conditions. Nevertheless, there are limited clinical treatment options that are currently available. The good news is that owing to the considerable advances in nanoscience, multiple types of nanomaterials with unique ROS-scavenging abilities that influence the temporospatial dynamic behaviors of ROS in biological systems have been developed. This has led to the emergence of next-generation nanomaterial-controlled strategies aimed at ameliorating ROS-related inflammatory conditions. Accordingly, herein we reviewed recent progress in research on nanotherapy based on ROS scavenging. The underlying mechanisms of the employed nanomaterials are emphasized. Furthermore, important issues in developing cross-disciplinary nanomedicine-based strategies for ROS-based inflammatory conditions are discussed. Our review of this increasing interdisciplinary field will benefit ongoing studies and clinical applications of nanomedicine based on ROS scavenging.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is broadly implicated in chronic, inflammatory diseases because it causes protein and lipid damage, cell death, and stimulation of inflammatory signaling. Supplementation of innate antioxidant mechanisms with drugs such as the superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic compound 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl (TEMPO) is a promising strategy for reducing oxidative stress-driven pathologies. TEMPO is inexpensive to produce and has strong antioxidant activity, but it is limited as a drug due to rapid clearance from the body. It is also challenging to encapsulate into micellar nanoparticles or polymer microparticles, because it is a small, water soluble molecule that does not efficiently load into hydrophobic carrier systems. In this work, we pursued a polymeric form of TEMPO [poly(TEMPO)] to increase its molecular weight with the goal of improving in vivo bioavailability. High density of TEMPO on the poly(TEMPO) backbone limited water solubility and bioactivity of the product, a challenge that was overcome by tuning the density of TEMPO in the polymer by copolymerization with the hydrophilic monomer dimethylacrylamide (DMA). Using this strategy, we formed a series of poly(DMA-co-TEMPO) random copolymers. An optimal composition of 40 mol % TEMPO/60 mol % DMA was identified for water solubility and O2•- scavenging in vitro. In an air pouch model of acute local inflammation, the optimized copolymer outperformed both the free drug and a 100% poly(TEMPO) formulation in O2•- scavenging, retention, and reduction of TNFα levels. Additionally, the optimized copolymer reduced ROS levels after systemic injection in a footpad model of inflammation. These results demonstrate the benefit of polymerizing TEMPO for in vivo efficacy and could lead to a useful antioxidant polymer formulation for next-generation anti-inflammatory treatments.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) coatings, constructed on the surfaces of tissue engineering scaffolds using layer-by-layer assembly (LbL), promote sustained release of therapeutic molecules and have enabled regeneration of large-scale, pre-clinical bone defects. However, these systems primarily rely on non-specific hydrolysis of PEM components to foster drug release, and their pre-determined drug delivery schedules potentially limit future translation into innately heterogeneous patient populations. To trigger therapeutic delivery directly in response to local environmental stimuli, an LbL-compatible polycation solely degraded by cell-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) was synthesized. These thioketal-based polymers were selectively cleaved by physiologic doses of ROS, stably incorporated into PEM films alongside growth factors, and facilitated tunable release of therapeutic bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) upon oxidation. These coatings' sensitivity to oxidation was also dependent on the polyanions used in film construction, providing a simple method for enhancing ROS-mediated protein delivery in vitro. Correspondingly, when implanted in critically-sized rat calvarial defects, the most sensitive ROS-responsive coatings generated a 50% increase in bone regeneration compared with less sensitive formulations and demonstrated a nearly threefold extension in BMP-2 delivery half-life over conventional hydrolytically-sensitive coatings. These combined results highlight the potential of environmentally-responsive PEM coatings as tunable drug delivery systems for regenerative medicine.

CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 271:129499.

Abstract
Phytochemicals refer to active substances in plant-based diets. Phytochemicals found in for example fruits, vegetables, grains and seed oils are considered relatively safe for consumption due to mammal-plant co-evolution and adaptation. A number of human diseases are related to oxidative stress caused by for example chemical environmental contaminants in air, water and food; while also lifestyle including smoking and lack of exercise and dietary preferences are important factors for disease development in humans. Here we explore the dietary sources of antioxidant phytochemicals that have beneficial effects on oxidative stress, cardiovascular and neurological diseases as well as cancer. Plant-based diets usually contain phenolic acids, flavonoids and carotenoids, which have strong antioxidant properties, and therefore remove the excess of active oxygen in the body, and protect cells from damage, reducing the risk of cardiovascular and Alzheimer's disease. In most cases, obesity is related to diet and inactivity and plant-based diets change lipid composition and metabolism, which reduce obesity related hazards. Cruciferous and Allium vegetables are rich in organic sulphides that can act on the metabolism of carcinogens and therefore used as anti-cancer and suppressing agents while dietary fibres and plant sterols may improve intestinal health and prevent intestinal diseases. Thus, we recommend a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and grains as its content of phytochemicals may have the potential to prevent or improve a broad sweep of various diseases.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a progressive atherosclerotic disorder characterized by narrowing and occlusion of arteries supplying the lower extremities. Approximately 200 million people worldwide are affected by PAD. The current standard of operative care is open or endovascular revascularization in which blood flow restoration is the goal. However, many patients are not appropriate candidates for these treatments and are subject to continuous ischemia of their lower limbs. Current research in the therapy of PAD involves developing modalities that induce angiogenesis, but the results of simple cell transplantation or growth factor delivery have been found to be relatively poor mainly due to difficulties in stem cell retention and survival and rapid diffusion and enzymolysis of growth factors following injection of these agents in the affected tissues. Biomaterials, including hydrogels, have the capability to protect stem cells during injection and to support cell survival. Hydrogels can also provide a sustained release of growth factors at the injection site. This review will focus on biomaterial systems currently being investigated as carriers for cell and growth factor delivery, and will also discuss biomaterials as a potential stand-alone method for the treatment of PAD. Finally, the challenges of development and use of biomaterials systems for PAD treatment will be reviewed.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) generates excess reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can exacerbate secondary injury and result in disability and death. Secondary injury cascades can trigger the release of uncontrolled ROS into the surrounding normal brain tissue, forming an extended pool of ROS, which leads to massive neuronal death. Here, we developed an injectable, post-trauma microenvironment-responsive, ROS depletion hydrogel embedded curcumin (Cur) (TM/PC) for reducing ROS levels in damaged brain tissue to promote the regeneration and recovery of neurons. Hydrogel was composed of three parts: (1) Hydrophobic poly (propylene sulfide)120 (PPS120) was synthesized, with a ROS quencher and H2O2-responsive abilities, to embed Cur. (2) Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-responsive triglycerol monostearate (TM) was used to cover the PPS120 to form a TM/P hydrogel. (3) Cur could further eradicate the ROS, promoting the regeneration and recovery of neurons. In two postoperative TBI models, TM/PC hydrogel effectively responded the TBI surgical environment and released drug. TM/PC hydrogel significantly depleted ROS and reduced brain edema. In addition, reactive astrocytes and activated microglia were decreased, growth-associated protein 43 (GAP43) and doublecortin (DCX) were increased, suggested that TM/PC hydrogel had the strongest anti-inflammatory effect and effectively promoted nerve regeneration after TBI. This study provides new information for the management of TBI to prevent the secondary spread of damage.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is a debilitating infection of bone that results in substantial morbidity. Staphylococcus aureus is the most commonly isolated pathogen causing bone infections and features an arsenal of virulence factors that contribute to bone destruction and counteract immune responses. We previously demonstrated that diflunisal, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, decreases S. aureus-induced bone destruction during osteomyelitis when delivered locally from a resorbable drug delivery depot. However, local diflunisal therapy was complicated by bacterial colonization of the depot's surface, highlighting a common pitfall of devices for local drug delivery to infected tissue. It is, therefore, critical to develop an alternative drug delivery method for diflunisal to successfully repurpose this drug as an antivirulence therapy for osteomyelitis. We hypothesized that a nanoparticle-based parenteral delivery strategy would provide a method for delivering diflunisal to infected tissue while circumventing the complications associated with local delivery. In this study, we demonstrate that poly(propylene sulfide) (PPS) nanoparticles accumulate at the infectious focus in a murine model of staphylococcal osteomyelitis and are capable of efficaciously delivering diflunisal to infected bone. Moreover, diflunisal-loaded PPS nanoparticles effectively decrease S. aureus-mediated bone destruction, establishing the feasibility of systemic delivery of an antivirulence compound to mitigate bone pathology during osteomyelitis.
