Davari N, Nourmohammadi J, Mohammadi J. Nitric oxide-releasing thiolated starch nanoparticles embedded in gelatin sponges for wound dressing applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:131062.

Abstract
This study introduces a novel wound dressing by combining nitric oxide-releasing thiolated starch nanoparticles (NO-TS NPs) with gelatin. First, starch was thiolated (TS), and then its nanoparticles were prepared (TS NPs). Subsequently, NPs were covalently bonded to sodium nitrite to obtain NO-releasing TS NPs (NO-TS-NPs) that were incorporated into gelatin sponges at various concentrations. The resulting spherical TS NPs had a mean size of 85.42 ± 5.23 nm, which rose to 100.73 ± 7.41 nm after bonding with sodium nitrite. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed S-nitrosation on the NO-TS NPs' surface, and morphology analysis showed well-interconnected pores in all sponges. With higher NO-TS NPs content, pore size, porosity, and water uptake increased, while compressive modulus and strength decreased. Composites exhibited antibacterial activity, particularly against E. coli, with enhanced efficacy at higher NPs' concentrations. In vitro release studies demonstrated Fickian diffusion, with faster NO release in sponges containing more NPs. The released NO amounts were non-toxic to fibroblasts, but samples with fewer NO-TS NPs exhibited superior cellular density, cell attachment, and collagen secretion. Considering the results, including favorable mechanical strength, release behavior, antibacterial and cellular properties, gelatin sponges loaded with 2 mg/mL of NO-TS NPs can be suitable for wound dressing applications.

Abstract
Chronic cutaneous wounds present a significant challenge for healthcare providers globally, with the risk of bacterial infections emerging as a particularly concerning issue. There is an increasing need to employ a combination of diverse antibacterial strategies to address infections comprehensively in chronic wounds. This study introduces a highly efficient antibacterial platform that encapsulates the NO precursor (BNN6) into β-cyclodextrin-modified hemin-bearing polydopamine nanoparticles called NO/CHPDA. These nanoparticles are seamlessly integrated into a hydrogel composite comprised of L-arginine grafted chitosan (Arg-CS) and oxide dextrans (oDex). The amalgamation of photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and nitric oxide (NO) antibacterial strategies within the NO/CHPDA@Arg-CS/oDex nanocomposite hydrogel demonstrates a synergistic and highly effective capacity to eradicate bacteria and accelerate the wound healing process in vivo. Remarkably, this nanocomposite hydrogel maintains excellent biocompatibility and induces minimal side effects. The resulting nanocomposite hydrogel represents a promising therapeutic solution for treating bacterial infections in wound healing applications.

Abstract
Considering the astonishing prevalence of localized pain affecting billions of patients worldwide, the development of advanced analgesic formulations or delivery systems to achieve clinical applicability is of great significance. In this study, an integrated PDA-based LiH@PDA@Ag@PAA@Gelatin system was designed for sustained delivery of lidocaine hydrochloride (LiH). By optimizing the preparation process and formulation of the hydrogel, the hydrogel exhibited superior mechanical properties, reversibility, adhesion strength, and self-healing attributes. Moreover, PDA@Ag nanoparticles were evenly dispersed within the hydrogel, and the optimized PDA@Ag@PAA@Gelatin showed a higher photothermal conversion efficiency than that of pure PDA. Importantly, LiH@PDA@Ag@PAA@Gelatin could effectively capture and eradicate bacteria through the synergistic interaction between near-infrared (NIR), PDA, Ag and LiH. In vitro and in vivo tests demonstrated that LiH@PDA@Ag@PAA@Gelatin exhibited higher drug delivery efficiency compared to commercial lidocaine patches. By evaluating the mechanical pain withdrawal threshold of the spared nerve injury (SNI) model in rats, it was proven that LiH@PDA@Ag@PAA@Gelatin enhanced and prolonged the analgesic effect of LiH. Furthermore, LiH@PDA@Ag@PAA@Gelatin induced by NIR possessed excellent on-demand photothermal analgesic ability. Therefore, this study develops a convenient method for preparing localized analgesic hydrogel patches, providing an important step towards advancing PDA-based on-demand pain relief applications.

Abstract
The difficulty of wound healing due to skin defects has been a great challenge due to the complex inflammatory microenvironment. Delayed wound healing severely affects the quality of life of patients and represents a significant economic burden for public health systems worldwide. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of novel wound dressings that can efficiently resist drug-resistant bacteria and have superior wound repair capabilities in clinical applications. In this study, we designed an adhesive antimicrobial hydrogel dressing (GMH) based on methacrylic-anhydride-modified gelatin and oxidized hyaluronic acid formed by Schiff base and UV-induced double cross-linking for infected wound repair. By inserting PDA nanoparticles into the hydrogel (GMH/PDA), the hydrogel has the capability of photothermal conversion and exhibits good photothermal antimicrobial properties under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, which helps to reduce the inflammatory response and avoid bacterial infections during the wound healing process. In addition, GMH/PDA hydrogel exhibits excellent injectability, allowing the hydrogel dressings to be adapted to complex wound surfaces, making them promising candidates for wound therapy. In conclusion, the multifunctional injectable GMH/PDA hydrogel possesses high antimicrobial efficiency, antioxidant properties and good biocompatibility, making them promising candidates for the treatment of infected skin wounds.

Abstract
Effective wound treatment has become one of the most important challenges for healthcare as it continues to be one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Therefore, wound care technologies significantly evolved in order to provide a holistic approach based on various designs of functional wound dressings. Among them, hydrogels have been widely used for wound treatment due to their biocompatibility and similarity to the extracellular matrix. The hydrogel formula offers the control of an optimal wound moisture level due to its ability to absorb excess fluid from the wound or release moisture as needed. Additionally, hydrogels can be successfully integrated with a plethora of biologically active components (e.g., nanoparticles, pharmaceuticals, natural extracts, peptides), thus enhancing the performance of resulting composite hydrogels in wound healing applications. In this review, the-state-of-the-art discoveries related to stimuli-responsive hydrogel-based dressings have been summarized, taking into account their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hemostatic properties, as well as other effects (e.g., re-epithelialization, vascularization, and restoration of the tissue) resulting from their use.

Abstract
A gelatin-based hydrogel system is a stimulus-responsive, biocompatible, and biodegradable polymeric system with solid-like rheology that entangles moisture in its porous network that gradually protrudes to assemble a hierarchical crosslinked arrangement. The hydrolysis of collagen directs gelatin construction, which retains arginyl glycyl aspartic acid and matrix metalloproteinase-sensitive degeneration sites, further confining access to chemicals entangled within the gel (e.g., cell encapsulation), modulating the release of encapsulated payloads and providing mechanical signals to the adjoining cells. The utilization of various types of functional tunable biopolymers as scaffold materials in hydrogels has become highly attractive due to their higher porosity and mechanical ability; thus, higher loading of proteins, peptides, therapeutic molecules, etc., can be further modulated. Furthermore, a stimulus-mediated gelatin-based hydrogel with an impaired concentration of gellan demonstrated great shear thinning and self-recovering characteristics in biomedical and tissue engineering applications. Therefore, this contemporary review presents a concise version of the gelatin-based hydrogel as a conceivable biomaterial for various biomedical applications. In addition, the article has recapped the multiple sources of gelatin and their structural characteristics concerning stimulating hydrogel development and delivery approaches of therapeutic molecules (e.g., proteins, peptides, genes, drugs, etc.), existing challenges, and overcoming designs, particularly from drug delivery perspectives.

Abstract
Microbial biofilm is undoubtedly a challenging problem in the food industry. It is closely associated with human health and life, being difficult to remove and antibiotic resistance. Therefore, an alternate method to solve these problems is needed. Nitric oxide (NO) as an antimicrobial agent, has shown great potential to disrupt biofilms. However, the extremely short half-life of NO in vivo (2 s) has facilitated the development of relatively more stable NO donors. Recent studies reported that NO could permeate biofilms, causing damage to cellular biomacromolecules, inducing biofilm dispersion by quorum sensing (QS) pathway and reducing intracellular bis-(3'-5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) levels, and significantly improving the bactericidal effect without drug resistance. In this review, biofilm hazards and formation processes are presented, and the characteristics and inhibitory effects of NO donors are carefully discussed, with an emphasis on the possible mechanisms of NO resistance to biofilms and some advanced approaches concerning the remediation of NO donor deficiencies. Moreover, the future perspectives, challenges, and limitations of NO donors were summarized comprehensively. On the whole, this review aims to provide the application prospects of NO and its donors in the food industry and to make reliable choices based on these available research results.

Abstract
Bacterial infection and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria have decreased the effectiveness of traditional antibiotic treatments for wound healing. The design of a multifunctional adhesive hydrogel with antibacterial activity, self-healing properties, and on-demand removability to promote wound healing is highly desirable. In this work, a photothermal cyclodextrin with a NO-releasing moiety has been incorporated within an oxidized sodium alginate conjugated polyacrylamide (OS@PA) hydrogel to get a photothermal NO-releasing GSNOCD-OS@PA hydrogel. Such a multifunctional hydrogel has the unique feature of combined antibacterial activity as a result of a controlled photothermal effect and NO gas release under an 808 near-infrared laser. Because of oxidized sodium alginate (OSA), the hydrogel matrix easily adheres to the skin under twisted and bent states. In vitro cytotoxicity analysis against 3T3 cells showed that the hydrogels OS@PA and GSNOCD-OS@PA are noncytotoxic under laser exposure. The temperature-induced NO release by GSNOCD-OS@PA reached 31.7 mg/L when irradiated with an 808 nm laser for 10 min. The combined photothermal therapy and NO release from GSNOCD-OS@PA effectively reduced viability of both Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) to 3 and 5%, respectively. Importantly, the phototherapeutic NO-releasing platform displayed effective fibroblast proliferation in a cell scratch assay.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, carbonyl, chlorine, bromine, and iodine species (RXS, where X = O, N, S, C, Cl, Br, and I) have important roles in various normal physiological processes and act as essential regulators of cell metabolism; their inherent biological activities govern cell signaling, immune balance, and tissue homeostasis. However, an imbalance between RXS production and consumption will induce the occurrence and development of various diseases. Due to the considerable progress of nanomedicine, a variety of nanosystems that can regulate RXS has been rationally designed and engineered for restoring RXS balance to halt the pathological processes of different diseases. The invention of radical-regulating nanomaterials creates the possibility of intriguing projects for disease treatment and promotes advances in nanomedicine. In this comprehensive review, we summarize, discuss, and highlight very-recent advances in RXS-based nanomedicine for versatile disease treatments. This review particularly focuses on the types and pathological effects of these reactive species and explores the biological effects of RXS-based nanomaterials, accompanied by a discussion and the outlook of the challenges faced and future clinical translations of RXS nanomedicines.

Enzyme-regulated NO programmed to release from hydrogel-forming microneedles with endogenous/photodynamic synergistic antibacterial for diabetic wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 226:813-822. [PMID: 36528141 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.12.063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
The infection-prone wound pathology microenvironment leads to ulceration and difficult healing of diabetic wounds, which seriously affects the quality of survival of patients. In this study, natural polymer materials gelatin and polylysine were used as substrates. By introducing iron/tannic acid (FeIIITA) composite nanoparticles with excellent photothermal properties into the system, the glutamine residues of gelatin were crosslinked with the primary ammonia of polylysine by glutamine aminotransferase. A nanocomposite hydrogel with excellent antibacterial ability and NO production was constructed it was used to improve the clinical problems of diabetes wounds that were difficult to vascularize and easy to be infected. Under the premise of maintaining its structural stability, the hydrogel can be customized to meet the needs of different mechanical strengths by adjusting the ratios to match different diabetic wounds. Meanwhile, the photothermal effect of FeIIITA nanoparticles can synergize with the endogenous antibacterial ability of polylysine to improve the antibacterial efficacy of hydrogels. The potential of hydrogel to promote intracellular NO production was confirmed by fluorescent staining. Microneedle patches prepared from hydrogel can be applied to diabetic wounds, which can achieve NO deep release. Its anti-inflammatory and angiogenic abilities are also useful in achieving effective healing of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been utilized extensively in the field of cutaneous wound treatment. The introduction of nanomaterials (NMs), which are a big category of materials with diverse functionalities, can endow the hydrogels with additional and multiple functions to meet the demand for a comprehensive performance in wound dressings. Therefore, NMs-functionalized hydrogels (NMFHs) as wound dressings have drawn intensive attention recently. Herein, an overview of reports about NMFHs for the treatment of cutaneous wounds in the past five years is provided. Firstly, fabrication strategies, which are mainly divided into physical embedding and chemical synthesis of the NMFHs, are summarized and illustrated. Then, functions of the NMFHs brought by the NMs are reviewed, including hemostasis, antimicrobial activity, conductivity, regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and stimulus responsiveness (pH responsiveness, photo-responsiveness, and magnetic responsiveness). Finally, current challenges and future perspectives in this field are discussed with the hope of inspiring additional ideas.

Abstract
Bacterial infections can compromise the physical and biological functionalities of humans and pose a huge economical and psychological burden on infected patients. Nitric oxide (NO) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, whose mechanism of action is not affected by bacterial resistance. S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), an endogenous donor and carrier of NO, has gained increasing attention because of its potent antibacterial activity and efficient biocompatibility. Significant breakthroughs have been made in the application of GSNO in biomaterials. This review is based on the existing evidence that comprehensively summarizes the progress of antimicrobial GSNO applications focusing on their anti-infective performance, underlying antibacterial mechanisms, and application in anti-infective biomaterials. We provide an accurate overview of the roles and applications of GSNO in antibacterial biomaterials and shed new light on the avenues for future studies.

Chitosan-Gelatin Films: Plasticizers/Nanofillers Affect Chain Interactions and Material Properties in Different Ways. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14183797. [PMID: 36145942 PMCID: PMC9505206 DOI: 10.3390/polym14183797] [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: 08/14/2022] [Revised: 09/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Biopolymers, which are biodegradable and inherently functional, have high potential for specialized applications (e.g., disposable and transient systems and biomedical treatment). For this, it is important to create composite materials with precisely defined chain interactions and tailored properties. This work shows that for a chitosan–gelatin material, both glycerol and isosorbide are effective plasticizers, but isosorbide could additionally disrupt the polyelectrolyte complexation (PEC) between the two biopolymers, which greatly impacts the glass transition temperature (Tg), mechanical properties, and water absorption. While glycerol-plasticized samples without nanofiller or with graphene oxide (GO) showed minimal water uptake, the addition of isosorbide and/or montmorillonite (MMT) made the materials hydrolytically unstable, likely due to disrupted PEC. However, these samples showed an opposite trend in surface hydrophilicity, which means surface chemistry is controlled differently from chain structure. This work highlights different mechanisms that control the different properties of dual-biopolymer systems and provides an updated definition of biopolymer plasticization, and thus could provide important knowledge for the future design of biopolymer composite materials with tailored surface hydrophilicity, overall hygroscopicity, and mechanical properties that meet specific application needs.

Abstract
Bacterial infections significantly slow the wound healing process, thus severely threatening human health. Furthermore, traditional antibiotics may promote the development of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, developing novel bactericides and therapeutic strategies for bacterial infections is important to enhance wound healing. Herein, a three-in-one bactericidal flower-like nanocomposite was assembled using Ag nanoparticles/phosphotungstic acid-polydopamine nano-flowers (AgNPs/POM-PDA). The nanocomposite exhibited photothermal therapy (PTT) when exposed to NIR light via photothermal conversion by PDA. The resultant photothermal effect accelerated and controlled the Ag+ released from AgNPs. The chemodynamic therapy (CDT) was obtained via POM catalytic Fenton-like reaction. The combined PTT/CDT/Ag+ treatment achieved excellent synergistic anti-bacterial activity against both gram-negative E. coli and gram-positive S. aureus. A multifunctional wound dressing was then obtained by embedding the AgNPs/POM-PDA flower-like nanocomposite into the chitosan (CS)/gelatin (GE) biocomposite hydrogel. The synergy of AgNPs/POM-PDA nanocomposites and CS/GE hydrogel remarkably accelerated wound healing in vivo due to the excellent biocompatibility, hydroabsorptivity, and breathability of the hydrogel. In this study, a multifunctional agent was developed to synergistically combat bacterial infections and accelerate wound healing.

Abstract
Today, despite significant progress in developing skin tissue engineering products, the fabrication of an ideal wound dressing that could meet the essential criteria, such as promoting angiogenesis -mainly in a diabetic wound- still remains a challenge. A diabetic wound is a chronic wound in which vascularization is low, and the wound healing process may stop. In this regard, Nitric oxide (NO) enhances the healing of diabetic wounds by promoting angiogenesis and providing antibacterial activity in wound sites. In this study, we produced a NO-releasing wound dressing (CMC-ALg-GSNO) composed of Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), sodium alginate (ALg), and Snitrosoglutathione (GSNO). The results obtained from the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) show that wound dressing has a porous structure. The water uptake and water vapor transmission for the wound dressing were obtained 4354.1 ± 179.3 % and 2753.8 ± 54.6 g/m2 per day, respectively. NO release study showed that NO release from CMC-ALg-GSNO continuously occurred within 168 hours. In vivo test, The CMC-ALg-GSNO wound dressing developed wound healing in a rat model of full-thickness diabetic wounds compared to the CMC-ALg and Gauze wound dressings. Thus, this study showed that CMC-ALg-GSNO wound dressing could lead to novel therapeutic invasions to treat diabetic wounds.

Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 215:377-386. [PMID: 35728636 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.06.103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Oxidative stress damage caused by free radicals around the moist microenvironment of wound has been a clinical challenge in skin tissue healing. Here, a novel chitosan-based bioinspired asymmetric wound repair composite (BAWRC) film was designed by facilitated endogenous tissue engineering strategy through layer-by-layer self-assembly technology for accelerated wound healing. The asymmetric characteristics were skillfully reflected by two different functional layers: hydrophilic chitosan (CS)/silk fibroin (SF) repair layer, and a hydrophobic bacteriostatic tea tree oil (TTO) layer with a rough surface. Simultaneously, sodium ascorbate (SA)-entrapped poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres are distributed homogeneously in the hydrophilic layer to induce antioxidant response for skin repair. The distinctive asymmetric structure of BAWRC film endows it with synergistic effects, i.e., protects against the risk of infection from the external environment and facilitates deep skin wound healing. Results show that the minimum inhibition and bactericidal concentration of the BAWRC film were 1.25 and 6.25 mg/mL, respectively, demonstrating good antibacterial properties. The content of biofilm formation was significantly reduced when the concentration of TTO exceeds 5 mg/mL, indicating TTO shows a positive effect on bacteriostasis. In addition, the DPPH rates of BAWRC film were up to 64.7 % after incubation for 12 h, which was ascribed to that the release of SA and TTO as a natural product could accelerate free radical scavenging. The BAWRC film exhibited excellent biocompatibility, and good antibacterial capacity, enhancing adhesion and proliferation of the NIH3T3 cell in vitro, further facilitating the healing of a rat full-thickness skin wounds model. Herein, this versatile asymmetric film possesses great potential for clinical management of wound healing and related soft tissue regeneration.
