Fabrication of a novel macrophage-targeted biomimetic delivery composite hydrogel with multiple-sensitive properties for tri-modal combination therapy of rheumatoid arthritis. Int J Pharm 2024; 665:124708. [PMID: 39284423 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 08/26/2024] [Accepted: 09/10/2024] [Indexed: 10/11/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a porous polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticle-decorated β-glucan microcapsules (GMs) nanoplatform (PDA/GMs) were developed with macrophage-targeted biomimetic features and a carriers-within-carriers structure. Indocyanine green (ICG) and catalase (CAT) were subsequently co-encapsulated within the PDA/GMs to create a multifunctional nanotherapeutic agent, termed CIPGs. Furthermore, CIPGs and sinomenine (SIN) were co-loaded within a thermo-sensitive hydrogel to design an injectable delivery system, termed CIPG/SH, with potential for multi-modal therapy of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Photothermal studies indicated that the CIPGs hold excellent photothermal conversion ability and thermal stability, as they combined the photothermal performance of both PDA and ICG. Meanwhile, the CIPGs displayed favorable oxygen self-supplying and photodynamic performance. The CIPGs showed near-infrared (NIR)-induced phototoxicity, effectively inhibiting macrophage proliferation and displaying remarkable antibacterial activity. In vitro drug release from the prepared CIPG/SH showed a controlled release pattern. Animal experiments conducted on an RA mice model confirmed that the formulated CIPG/SH exhibited significant therapeutic effects. By integrating the biological advantages, photothermal/photodynamic performance of the CIPGs, and controlled drug release performance of the thermo-sensitive hydrogels in a single delivery system, the prepared injectable CIPG/SH represents a novel versatile delivery system with great potential for multi-modal combination targeting therapy in RA.

Abstract
Objective: To conduct bibliometric analysis of the application of inorganic nanomaterials to autoimmune diseases to characterize current research trends and to visualize past and emerging trends in this field in the past 15 years. Methods: The evolution and thematic trends of the application of inorganic nanomaterials to autoimmune diseases from January 1, 1985, to March 15, 2024, were analyzed by bibliometric analysis of data retrieved and extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. A total of 734 relevant reports in the literature were evaluated according to specific characteristics such as year of publication, journal, institution, country/region, references, and keywords. VOSviewer was used to build co-authorship analysis, co-occurrence analysis, co-citation analysis, and network visualization. Some important subtopics identified by bibliometric characterization are further discussed and reviewed. Result: From 2009 to 2024, annual publications worldwide increased from 11 to 95, an increase of 764%. ACS Nano published the most papers (14) with the most citations (1372). China (230 papers, 4922 citations) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (36 papers, 718 citations) are the most productive and influential country and institution, respectively. The first 100 keywords were co-clustered to form four clusters: (1) the application of inorganic nanomaterials in drug delivery, (2) the application of inorganic nano-biosensing to autoimmune diseases, (3) the use of inorganic nanomaterials for imaging applied to autoimmune diseases, and (4) the application of inorganic nanomaterials in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Combination therapy, microvesicles, photothermal therapy (PTT), targeting, diagnostics, transdermal, microneedling, silver nanoparticles, psoriasis, and inflammatory cytokines are the latest high-frequency keywords, marking the emerging frontier of inorganic nanomaterials in the field of autoimmune diseases. Sub-topics were further discussed to help researchers determine the scope of research topics and plan research directions. Conclusion: Over the past 39 years, the application of inorganic nanotechnology to the field of autoimmune diseases shows extensive cooperation between countries and institutions, showing a continuous increase in the number of reports in the literature, and has clinical translation prospects. Future research should further improve the safety of inorganic nanomaterials, clarify the mechanism of action of nanomaterials, establish a standardized nanomaterial preparation and performance evaluation system, and ultimately achieve the goal of early detection and precise treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that affects the living quality of patients, especially the elderly population. RA-related morbidity and mortality increase significantly with age, while current clinical drugs for RA are far from satisfactory and may have serious side effects. Therefore, the development of new drugs with higher biosafety and efficacy is demanding. Black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) have been widely studied because of their excellent biocompatibility. Here, we focus on the inherent bioactivity of BPNSs, report the potential of BPNSs as a therapeutic drug for RA and elucidate the underlying therapeutic mechanism. We find that BPNSs inhibit autophagy at an early stage via the AMPK-mTOR pathway, switch the energy metabolic pathway to oxidative phosphorylation, increase intracellular ATP levels, suppress apoptosis, reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, and down-regulate senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)-related genes in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RA-SFs). Further, BPNSs induce the apoptosis of macrophages and promote their transition from the M1 to the M2 phenotype by regulating related cytokines. Significantly, the administration of BPNSs can alleviate key pathological features of RA in mice, revealing great therapeutic potential. This study provides a novel option for treating RA, with BPNSs emerging as a promising therapeutic candidate.

ACS APPLIED BIO MATERIALS 2024; 7:2781-2793.

Abstract
A synergistic therapy agent (STA) with photothermal, photodynamic, chemodynamic, and starvation therapy (PTT, PDT, CDT, and ST) functions was developed. Hollow, mesoporous, and nearly uniform CeO2 nanoparticles (H-CeO2 NPs) were synthesized using a staged shape templating sol-gel protocol. Chlorin e6 (Ce6) was adsorbed onto H-CeO2 NPs, and a thin polydopamine (PDA) layer was formed on Ce6-adsorbed H-CeO2 NPs. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was bound onto PDA-coated Ce6-adsorbed H-CeO2 NPs to obtain the targeted STA (H-CeO2@Ce6@PDA@GOx NPs). A reversible photothermal conversion behavior with the temperature elevations up to 34 °C was observed by NIR laser irradiation at 808 nm. A cascade enzyme system based on immobilized GOx and intrinsic catalase-like activity of H-CeO2 NPs was rendered on STA for enhancing the effectiveness of PDT by elevation of ROS generation and alleviation of hypoxia in a tumor microenvironment. Glucose-mediated generation of highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) was evaluated for CDT. The effectiveness of PDT on glioblastoma T98G cells was markedly enhanced by O2 generation started by the decomposition of glucose. A similar increase in cell death was also observed when ST and CDT functions were enhanced by photothermal action. The viability of T98G cells decreased to 10.6% by in vitro synergistic action including ST, CDT, PDT, and PTT without using any antitumor agent.

Abstract
The growing interest in nanomedicine over the last 20 years has carved out a research field called "nanocatalytic therapy," where catalytic reactions mediated by nanomaterials are employed to intervene in disease-critical biomolecular processes. Among many kinds of catalytic/enzyme-mimetic nanomaterials investigated thus far, ceria nanoparticles stand out from others owing to their unique scavenging properties against biologically noxious free radicals, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), by exerting enzyme mimicry and nonenzymatic activities. Much effort has been made to utilize ceria nanoparticles as self-regenerating antioxidative and anti-inflammatory agents for various kinds of diseases, given the detrimental effects of ROS and RNS therein that need alleviation. In this context, this review is intended to provide an overview as to what makes ceria nanoparticles merit attention in disease therapy. The introductory part describes the characteristics of ceria nanoparticles as an oxygen-deficient metal oxide. The pathophysiological roles of ROS and RNS are then presented, as well as their scavenging mechanisms by ceria nanoparticles. Representative examples of recent ceria-nanoparticle-based therapeutics are summarized by categorization into organ and disease types, followed by the discussion on the remaining challenges and future research directions.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in cellular metabolism and many oxidative stress-related diseases, while excessive accumulation of ROS will lead to genetic changes in cells and promote the occurrence of inflammatory diseases or cell death. Nature-inspired polydopamine (PDA) with tailored nanostructures emerges as an ROS scavenger and is considered as an effective approach to inflammation-related diseases. However, the effects of nanoparticle structure on PDA scavenging efficacy and efficiency remain uncovered. In this work, three typical PDA nanoparticles including solid PDA, mesoporous PDA, and hollow PDA are synthesized, and of which physiochemical properties are characterized. Furthermore, their ROS scavenging performance is investigated by in vitro evaluation of radical removal. Among the three nanoparticles, mesoporous PDA is demonstrated to have the highest scavenging capability, mainly due to its specific surface area. Finally, the study on three in vivo inflammation models is constructed. The results confirm that mesoporous PDA is the most potent scavenger of ROS and more effective in reducing reperfusion injury, improving renal function, and preventing periodontitis progression, respectively. Together with the good biosafety and biocompatibility profiles, PDA nanoparticles, mesoporous PDA in particular, can be a promising avenue of ROS scavenging in fight against the inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Amultifunctional liposomal polydopamine nanoparticle (MPM@Lipo) was designed in this study, to combine chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT) and oxygen enrichment to clear hyperproliferating inflammatory cells and improve the hypoxic microenvironment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. MPM@Lipo significantly scavenged intracellular reactive oxygen species and relieved joint hypoxia, thus contributing to the repolarization of M1 macrophages into M2 phenotype. Furthermore, MPM@Lipo could accumulate at inflammatory joints, inhibit the production of inflammatory factors, and protect cartilage in vivo, effectively alleviating RA progression in a rat adjuvant-induced arthritis model. Moreover, upon laser irradiation, MPM@Lipo can elevate the temperature to not only significantly obliterate excessively proliferating inflammatory cells but also accelerate the production of methotrexate and oxygen, resulting in excellent RA treatment effects. Overall, the use of synergistic chemotherapy/PTT/oxygen enrichment therapy to treat RA is a powerful potential strategy.

Abstract
In this study, manganese-doped albumin-gelatin composite nanogels (MAGN) were prepared and used to load berberine (Ber) for the treatment of gouty arthritis (GA). The nanodrug delivery system (Ber-MAGN) can target inflammatory joints due to the intrinsic high affinity of albumin for SPARC, which is overexpressed at the inflammatory site of GA. Characterization of the pharmaceutical properties in vitro showed that Ber-MAGN had good dispersion, and the particle size was 121 ± 10.7 nm. The sustained release effect significantly improved the bioavailability of berberine. In vitro and in vivo experimental results showed that Ber-MAGN has better therapeutic effects in relieving oxidative stress and suppressing inflammation. Therefore, Ber-MAGN, as a potential pharmaceutical preparation for GA, provides a new reference for the clinical treatment plan of GA.

Abstract
The conventional treatment methods used for the management of autoimmune diseases (ADs) have limited efficacy and also exhibit significant side effects. Thus, identification of novel strategies to improve the efficacy and safety of ADs treatment is urgently required. Overactivated immune response and oxidative stress are common characteristics associated with ADs. Polydopamine (PDA), as a polymer material with good antioxidant and photothermal conversion properties, has displayed useful application potential against ADs. In addition, PDA possesses good biosafety, simple preparation, and easy functionalization, which is conducive for the pharmacological development of PDA nanomaterials with clinical transformation prospects. Here, we have first reviewed the preparation of PDA, the different functional integration strategies of PDA-based biomaterials, and their potential applications in ADs. Next, the mechanism of action of PDA in ADs has been elaborated in detail. Finally, the application opportunities and challenges linked with PDA nanomaterials for ADs treatment are discussed. This review is contributed to design reasonable and effective PDA nanomaterials for the diagnosis and treatment of ADs.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease commonly associated with the accumulation of hyperactive immune cells (HICs), particularly macrophages of pro-inflammatory (M1) phenotype, accompanied by the elevated level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreased pH and O2 content in joint synovium. In this work, an immunomodulatory nanosystem (IMN) is developed for RA therapy by modulating and restoring the function of HICs in inflamed tissues. Manganese tetraoxide nanoparticles (Mn3 O4 ) nanoparticles anchored on UiO-66-NH2 are designed, and then the hybrid is coated with Mn-EGCG film, further wrapped with HA to obtain the final nanocomposite of UiO-66-NH2 @Mn3 O4 /Mn-EGCG@HA (termed as UMnEH). When UMnEH diffuses to the inflammatory site of RA synovium, the stimulation of microwave (MW) irradiation and low pH trigger the slow dissociation of Mn-EGCG film. Then the endogenously overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) disintegrates the exposed Mn3 O4 NPs to promote ROS scavenging and O2 generation. Assisted by MW irradiation, the elevated O2 content in the RA microenvironment down-regulates the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Coupled with the clearance of ROS, it promotes the re-polarization of M1 phenotype macrophages into anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype macrophages. Therefore, the multifunctional UMnEH nanoplatform, as the IMN, exhibits a promising potential to modulate and restore the function of HICs and has an exciting prospect in the treatment of RA.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which include a range of pathologies affecting bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, account for a significant portion of the global burden of disease. While pharmaceutical and surgical interventions represent conventional approaches for treating MSDs, their efficacy is constrained and frequently accompanied by adverse reactions. Considering the rising incidence of MSDs, there is an urgent demand for effective treatment modalities to alter the current landscape. Phototherapy, as a controllable and non-invasive technique, has been shown to directly regulate bone, cartilage, and muscle regeneration by modulating cellular behavior. Moreover, phototherapy presents controlled ablation of tumor cells, bacteria, and aberrantly activated inflammatory cells, demonstrating therapeutic potential in conditions such as bone tumors, bone infection, and arthritis. By constructing light-responsive nanosystems, controlled drug delivery can be achieved to enable precise treatment of MSDs. Notably, various phototherapy nanoplatforms with integrated imaging capabilities have been utilized for early diagnosis, guided therapy, and prognostic assessment of MSDs, further improving the management of these disorders. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies and recent advances in the application of phototherapy for the treatment of MSDs, discusses the challenges and prospects of phototherapy, and aims to promote further research and application of phototherapy techniques.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This experiment explored the function of TTC4 in rheumatoid arthritis inflammation and its possible mechanism. METHODS C57BL/6 mice were immunized intradermally with bovine type II collagen. Lipopolysaccharide induction was performed on RAW264.7 cells. RESULTS The mRNA expression of TTC4 in articular tissue of mice with rheumatoid arthritis was downregulated. Sh-TTC4 virus increased arthritis score, morphological change score, paw edema, and spleen index, as well as alkaline phosphatase level in mice with rheumatoid arthritis. Sh-TTC4 virus increased the levels of inflammatory factors and MDA, and decreased anti-oxidant factors in articular tissue of mice with rheumatoid arthritis. TTC4 reduced inflammation and oxidative stress in an in vitro model. TTC4 regulated HSP70 in a rheumatoid arthritis model. The inhibition of HSP70 reduced the effects of sh-TTC4 gene in mice with rheumatoid arthritis. METTL3 reduced the stability of the TTC4 gene. CONCLUSION In this study, the TTC4 gene reduced oxidative response and inflammation in the rheumatoid arthritis model through the HSP70/NLRP3 pathway. Therefore, it can be concluded that TTC4 can be used as diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, nanozymes are regarded as excellent substitutes for natural enzymes due to their high activity, convenient preparation, low cost, robust stability and other unique properties of nanomaterials. In biomedical applications, the always-on activity of nanozymes is undesirable as it poses a potential threat to normal tissues. Stimuli-responsive nanozymes were designed to manipulate the activities of nanozymes. This review introduces two types of stimuli-responsive nanozymes. One is smart responsive nanozymes with stimuli-switchable activities, further divided into those with on/off switchable activity and one/another switchable activity. Another is nanozymes exhibiting responsive release from specific carriers. Additionally, the biomedical applications of stimuli-responsive nanozymes in cancer therapy, antibacterial therapy, biosensing and anti-inflammatory therapy are briefly reviewed. Finally, we address the challenges and prospects in this field.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that mainly affects joints, and it can lead to disability and damage to vital organs if not diagnosed and treated in time. However, all current therapeutic agents for RA have limitations such as high dose, severe side effects, long-term use, and unsatisfactory therapeutic effects. The long-term use and dose escalation of methotrexate (MTX) may cause mild and severe side effects. To overcome the limitations, it is critical to target drug delivery to the inflamed joints. In this work, we constructed a folic acid-targeted and cell-mimetic nanodrug, MTX-loaded mesoporous silica composite nanoplatform (MMPRF), which can regulate drug release under ultrasound (US) and microbubble (MB) mediation. The targeted delivery and drug therapy were investigated through in vitro RAW264.7 cell experiments and in vivo collagen-induced arthritis animal experiments. The result showed that the targeting ability to the joints of MMPRF was strong and was more significant after US and MB mediation, which can potently reduce joint swelling, bone erosion, and inflammation in joints. This work indicated that the US- and MB-mediated MMPRF not only would be a promising method for synergistic targeted treatment of RA but also may show high potential for serving as a nanomedicine for many other biomedical fields.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is usually associated with excessive proliferation of M1-type proinflammatory macrophages, resulting in severe hypoxia and excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the joint cavity. Inhibiting M1-type proinflammatory macrophages and/or repolarizing them into M2 phenotype anti-inflammatory cells by alleviating hypoxia and scavenging ROS could be a promising strategy for RA treatment. In this work, a microwave-sensitive metal-organic framework of UiO-66-NH2 is constructed for coating a nanoenzyme of cerium oxide (CeO2) and loading with the drug celastrol (Cel) to give UiO-66-NH2/CeO2/Cel, which is ultimately wrapped with hyaluronic acid (HA) to form a nanocomposite UiO-66-NH2/CeO2/Cel@HA (UCCH). With the microwave-susceptible properties of UiO-66-NH2, the thermal effect of microwaves can eliminate the excessive proliferation of inflammatory cells. In addition, superoxide-like and catalase-like activities originating from CeO2 in UCCH are boosted to scavenge ROS and accelerate the decomposition of H2O2 to produce O2 under microwave irradiation. The nonthermal effect of microwaves could synergistically promote the repolarization of M1-type macrophages into the M2 phenotype. Accompanied by the release of the anti-RA chemotherapeutic drug Cel, UCCH can efficiently ameliorate RA in vitro and in vivo through microwave-enhanced multisynergistic effects. This strategy could inspire the design of other multisynergistic platforms enhanced by microwaves to exploit new treatment modalities in RA therapies.

Abstract
The delivery of biocompatible reagents into cancer cells can elicit an anticancer effect by taking advantage of the unique characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME). In this work, we report that nanoscale two-dimensional FeII- and CoII-based metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) of porphyrin ligand meso-tetrakis (6-(hydroxymethyl) pyridin-3-yl) porphyrin (THPP) can catalyze the generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and O2 in the presence of H2O2 that is overexpressed in the TME. Photodynamic therapy consumes the generated O2 to produce a singlet oxygen (1O2). Both •OH and 1O2 are reactive oxygen species (ROS) that inhibit cancer cell proliferation. The FeII- and CoII-based NMOFs were non-toxic in the dark but cytotoxic when irradiated with 660 nm light. This preliminary work points to the potential of porphyrin-based ligands of transition metals as anticancer drugs by synergizing different therapeutic modalities.

[PMID: 36760741 PMCID: PMC9890593 DOI: 10.1039/d2md00333c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
4',5,7-OHs are common substituents of natural flavonoids, a type of effective phenolic antioxidant. However, the antioxidant processes between 4',5,7-trihydroxyflavonoids with different structural types have not been compared systematically, and the antioxidant products are challenging to determine. This study compared four 4',5,7-trihydroxyflavonoids, including apigenin, genistein, kaempferol, and naringenin. In quantum chemical analyses, the four 4',5,7-trihydroxyflavonoids showed different thermodynamic properties, and the C4'-OH (or C3-OH of kaempferol) possessed the strongest activity. Moreover, the reaction rate constants were larger when a hydrogen atom was transferred from C4'-OH (or C3-OH of kaempferol) than from C5-OH. When different atoms were linked to 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH˙), the C3'-DPPH adducts showed the smallest energy. In experimental assays, the scavenging ability for neutral free radicals, radical cations, and radical anions was negatively correlated with the corresponding theoretical parameters. Finally, mass spectroscopy detected the apigenin-DPPH˙, genistein-DPPH˙, and naringenin-DPPH˙ adduct peaks. In conclusion, the structural type of 4',5,7-trihydroxyflavonoids can affect the antioxidant ability, site, and speed, but not the mechanism. After hydrogen abstraction at C4'-OH, 4',5,7-trihydroxyflavones, 4',5,7-trihydroxyisoflavones, and 4',5,7-trihydroxyflavanones will produce antioxidant products via C3'-radical linking.

[PMID: 36277336 PMCID: PMC9581401 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2022.1035144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The importance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the occurrence and development of orthopaedic related diseases is becoming increasingly prominent. ROS regulation has become a new method to treat orthopaedic related diseases. In recent years, the application of nanomaterials has become a new hope for precision and efficient treatment. However, there is a lack of reviews on ROS-regulated nanomaterials for orthopaedic related diseases. Based on the key significance of nanomaterials for the treatment of orthopaedic related diseases, we searched the latest related studies and reviewed the nanomaterials that regulate ROS in the treatment of orthopaedic related diseases. According to the function of nanomaterials, we describe the scavenging of ROS related nanomaterials and the generation of ROS related nanomaterials. In this review, we closely integrated nanomaterials with the treatment of orthopaedic related diseases such as arthritis, osteoporosis, wound infection and osteosarcoma, etc., and highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of existing nanomaterials. We also looked forward to the design of ROS-regulated nanomaterials for the treatment of orthopaedic related diseases in the future.
