Abstract
Coated microneedles (CMNs) are a minimally invasive platform for immediate-release transdermal drug delivery. However, the practical applications of CMNs have been significantly hindered by the challenges associated with complex formulations, single function, and limited drug loading capacity. This study has developed a spiderweb-shaped iron-coordinated polymeric nanowire network (Fe-IDA NWs). The resulting Fe-IDA NWs are endowed with a certain viscosity due to the synergy of multiple supramolecular interactions. This allows them to replace traditional polymeric thickeners as microneedle coatings. The Fe-IDA NWs-coated microneedles (Fe-IDA MNs) display rapid disintegration in the skin model, which also enables the swift diffusion of Fe-IDA NWs and their payloads into the deeper skin layers. Additionally, Fe-IDA MNs exhibit desirable enzymatic activity and potential antibacterial ability. Thus, Fe-IDA MNs can enhance the therapeutic efficacy against wound infection through synergistic effects, and avoid the overly complicated formulation and the release of nontherapeutic molecules of conventional CMNs. As a proof-of-concept, Fe-IDA MNs loaded with chlorin e6 showed a synergistic chemodynamic-photodynamic antibacterial effect in a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-infected wound model in mice. Collectively, this work has significant implications for the future of CMNs-based transdermal drug delivery systems and expands the application fields of metal coordination polymer (MCP) materials.

Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2304315. [PMID: 38261729 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202304315] [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: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
Senile wound healing risks a variety of health complications and makes both economic and psychological burdens on patients greatly. Poor activity of aged dermal fibroblasts (A-FBs) and local disordered immunoreaction in the deep dermis contribute to delayed wound healing. Therefore, the locally complex microenvironment in deep requires additional processing. Herein, a novel double-layer hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HAMA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) microneedle patch (MNP) coated by young fibroblast-derived exosomes (Y-EXOs) (Y-EXOs@HAMA/PVA MNP) is presented for deep drug delivery, aged wound healing and immunoregulation. A spraying and freeze-drying method is applied for keeping the bioactivity of the nanovesicles. An ideal loading of Y-EXOs and enhanced strength for penetration have realized after circulation for times. The Y-EXOs@HAMA/PVA MNP shows an excellent influence on delayed wound healing of aged skin with active A-FBs, more deposition of collagen and less production of IL-17A compared with application of aged fibroblast-derived exosomes (A-EXOs). Moreover, the content microRNAs in Y-EXOs and A-EXOs are sequenced for further study. This study initiatively demonstrates that Y-EXOs have effective function on both anti-aging and anti-inflammation and Y-EXOs@HAMA/PVA MNP is expected as a novel strategy for deep drug delivery for promoting hard wound healing in aged skin in future clinical application.

[PMID: 38575979 PMCID: PMC10996189 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02398-4] [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: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Infected wound healing remains a challenging task in clinical practice due to several factors: (I) drug-resistant infections caused by various pathogens, (II) persistent inflammation that hinders tissue regeneration and (III) the ability of pathogens to persist intracellularly and evade antibiotic treatment. Microneedle patches (MNs), recognized for their effecacious and painless subcutaneous drug delivery, could greatly enhance wound healing if integrated with antibacterial functionality and tissue regenerative potential. A multifunctional agent with subcellular targeting capability and contained novel antibacterial components, upon loading onto MNs, could yield excellent therapeutic effects on wound infections. In this study, we sythesised a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs) loaded with low molecular weight fucoidan (Fu) and further coating by hyaluronic acid (HA), obtained a multifunctional HAZ@Fu NPs, which could hinders Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) growth and promotes M2 polarization in macrophages. We mixed HAZ@Fu NPs with photocrosslinked gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and loaded it into the tips of the MNs (HAZ@Fu MNs), administered to mice model with MRSA-infected full-thickness cutaneous wounds. MNs are able to penetrate the skin barrier, delivering HAZ@Fu NPs into the dermal layer. Since cells within infected tissues extensively express the HA receptor CD44, we also confirmed the HA endows the nanoparticles with the ability to target MRSA in subcellular level. In vitro and in vivo murine studies have demonstrated that MNs are capable of delivering HAZ@Fu NPs deep into the dermal layers. And facilitated by the HA coating, HAZ@Fu NPs could target MRSA surviving at the subcellular level. The effective components, such as zinc ions, Fu, and hyaluronic acid could sustainably released, which contributes to antibacterial activity, mitigates inflammation, promotes epithelial regeneration and fosters neovascularization. Through the RNA sequencing of macrophages post co-culture with HAZ@Fu, the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis reveals that the biological functionalities associated with wound healing could potentially be facilitated through the PI3K-Akt pathway. The results indicate that the synergistic application of HAZ@Fu NPs with biodegradable MNs may serve as a significant adjunct in the treatment of infected wounds. The intricate mechanisms driving its biological effects merit further investigation.

Abstract
Possessing the attractive advantages of moderate invasiveness and high compliance, there is no doubt that microneedles (MNs) have been a gradually rising star in the field of medicine. Recent evidence implies that microelectronics technology based on microcircuits, microelectrodes and other microelectronic elements combined with MNs can realize mild electrical stimulation, drug release and various types of electrical sensing detection. In addition, the combination of microfluidics technology and MNs makes it possible to transport fluid drugs and access a small quantity of body fluids which have shown significant untapped potential for a wide range of diagnostics. Of particular note is that combining both technologies and MNs is more difficult, but is promising to build a modern healthcare platform with more comprehensive functions. This review introduces the properties of MNs that can form integrated systems with microelectronics and microfluidics, and summarizes these systems and their applications. Furthermore, the future challenges and perspectives of the integrated systems are conclusively proposed.
