Self-powered enzyme-linked microneedle patch for scar-prevention healing of diabetic wounds.

ABSTRACT: Diabetic wounds with complex pathological features and a difficult-to-heal nature remain a formidable challenge. To address this challenge, we design and fabricate a self-powered enzyme-linked microneedle (MN) patch composed of anode and cathode MN arrays, which respectively contain glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) encapsulated in ZIF-8 nanoparticles. The enzymatic cascade reaction in the MN patch can effectively reduce local hyperglycemia in diabetic wounds while generating stable microcurrents to promote rapid healing of diabetic wounds. Therefore, the diabetic wounds treated with this MN patch exhibit rapid, complete, and scar-preventative healing, which can be attributed to the synergistic actions of hypoglycemic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and bioelectrical stimulation. In brief, the self-powered MN patch is an effective method to rapidly promote diabetic wound healing and prevent scar formation.

Antibacterial microneedle patch releases oxygen to enhance diabetic wound healing.

Project description:Cell growth and metabolism require an adequate supply of oxygen. However, obtaining sufficient oxygen from the blood circulating around diabetic wounds is challenging. Nevertheless, achieving a continuous and stable oxygen supply is required for these wounds to heal. Hence, in this study, we report a novel antibacterial oxygen-producing silk fibroin methacryloyl hydrogel microneedle (MN) patch comprising tips encapsulated with calcium peroxide and catalase and a base coated with antibacterial Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs). The tip of the MN patch continuously releases oxygen and inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species. This accelerates diabetic wound healing by promoting cellular accretion and migration, macrophage M2 polarization, and angiogenesis. The AgNPs at the base of the MN patch effectively combat microbial infection, further facilitating wound repair. These findings suggest that using this multifunctional oxygen-producing MN patch may be a promising strategy for diabetic wound healing in clinical settings.

Chinese herb microneedle patch for wound healing.

Project description:Traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbs have a demonstrated value for disease therapy and sub-health improvement. Attempts in this area tend to develop new forms to make their applications more convenient and wider. Here, we propose a novel Chinese herb microneedle (CHMN) patch by integrating the herbal extracts, Premna microphylla and Centella asiatica, with microstructure of microneedle for wound healing. Such path is composed of sap extracted from the herbal leaves via traditional kneading method and solidified by plant ash derived from the brine induced process of tofu in a well-designed mold. Because the leaves of the Premna microphylla are rich in pectin and various amino acids, the CHMN could be imparted with medicinal efficacy of heat clearing, detoxicating, detumescence and hemostatic. Besides, with the excellent pharmaceutical activity of Asiatic acid extracted from Centella asiatica, the CHMN is potential in promoting relevant growth factor genes expression in fibroblasts and showing excellent performance in anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial activity. Taking advantages of these pure herbal compositions, we have demonstrated that the derived CHMN was with dramatical achievement in anti-bacteria, inhibiting inflammatory, collagen deposition, angiogenesis and tissue reconstruction during the wound closure. These results indicate that the integration of traditional Chinese herbs with progressive technologies will facilitate the development and promotion of traditional Chinese medicine in modern society.

Smartphone-powered iontophoresis-microneedle array patch for controlled transdermal delivery.

Project description:The incidence rate of diabetes has been increasing every year in nearly all nations and regions. The traditional control of diabetes using transdermal insulin delivery by metal needles is generally associated with pain and potential infections. While microneedle arrays (MAs) have emerged as painless delivery techniques, the integration of MA systems with electronic devices to precisely control drug delivery has rarely been realized. In this study, we developed an iontophoresis-microneedle array patch (IMAP) powered by a portable smartphone for the active and controllable transdermal delivery of insulin. The IMAP in situ integrates iontophoresis and charged nanovesicles into one patch, achieving a one-step drug administration strategy of "penetration, diffusion and iontophoresis". The MA of the IMAP is first pressed on the skin to create microholes and then is retracted, followed by the iontophoresis delivery of insulin-loaded nanovesicles through these microholes in an electrically controlled manner. This method has synergistically and remarkably enhanced controlled insulin delivery. The amount of insulin can be effectively regulated by the IMAP by applying different current intensities. This in vivo study has demonstrated that the IMAP effectively delivers insulin and produces robust hypoglycemic effects in a type-1 diabetic rat model, with more advanced controllability and efficiency than delivery by a pristine microneedle or iontophoresis. The IMAP system shows high potential for diabetes therapy and the capacity to provide active as well as long-term glycemic regulation without medical staff care.

An antimicrobial microneedle patch promotes functional healing of infected wounds through controlled release of adipose tissue-derived apoptotic vesicles.

Project description:The high incidence and mortality rates associated with acute and chronic wound infections impose a significant burden on global healthcare systems. In terms of the management of wound infection, the reconstruction and regeneration of skin appendages are essential for the recovery of mechanical strength and physiological function in the regenerated skin tissue. Novel therapeutic approaches are a requisite for enhancing the healing of infected wounds and promoting the regeneration of skin appendages. Herein, a novel antimicrobial microneedle patch has been fabricated for the transdermal controlled delivery of adipose tissue-derived apoptotic vesicles (ApoEVs-AT@MNP) for the treatment of infected wounds, which is expected to achieve high-quality scarless healing of the wound skin while inhibiting the bacteria in the infected wound. The microneedle patch (MNP) system possesses adequate mechanical strength to penetrate the skin, allowing the tips to remain inside tissue for continuous active release of biomolecules, and subsequently degrades safely within the host body. In vivo transplantation demonstrates that ApoEVs-AT@MNP not only inhibits bacterial proliferation in infected wounds but also significantly promotes effective and rapid scarless wound healing. Particularly noteworthy is the ability of ApoEVs-AT@MNP to promote the rapid formation of mature, evenly arranged hair follicles in infected wounds, observed as early as 8 days following implantation, which is essential for the restoration of skin function. This rapid development of skin appendages has not been reported this early in previous studies. Therefore, ApoEVs-AT@MNP has emerged as an excellent, painless, non-invasive, and highly promising treatment for infected wounds.

Intelligent microneedle patch with prolonged local release of hydrogen and magnesium ions for diabetic wound healing.

Project description:Diabetes mellitus, an epidemic with a rapidly increasing number of patients, always leads to delayed wound healing associated with consistent pro-inflammatory M1 polarization, decreased angiogenesis and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the microenvironment. Herein, a poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based microneedle patch loaded with magnesium hydride (MgH2) (MN-MgH2) is manufactured for defeating diabetic wounds. The application of microneedle patch contributes to the transdermal delivery and the prolonged release of MgH2 that can generate hydrogen (H2) and magnesium ions (Mg2+) after reaction with body fluids. The released H2 reduces the production of ROS, transforming the pathological microenvironment induced by diabetes mellitus. Meanwhile, the released Mg2+ promotes the polarization of pro-healing M2 macrophages. Consequently, cell proliferation and migration are improved, and angiogenesis and tissue regeneration are enhanced. Such intelligent microneedle patch provides a novel way for accelerating wound healing through steadily preserving and releasing of H2 and Mg2+ locally and sustainably.

Paper battery powered iontophoresis microneedles patch for hypertrophic scar treatment.

Project description:Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a plaque fibrous and indurated dermal lesion that may cause physical, psychological, and cosmetic challenges for patients. Intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is commonly used in clinical practice, which cause unbearable pain and uneven drug delivery within HS tissue. Herein, we developed a paper battery powered iontophoresis-driven microneedles patch (PBIMNP) for self-management of HS. The high integration of PBIMNP was achieved by incorporating a paper battery as the power source for iontophoresis. The transdermal drug delivery strategy of PBIMNP combined microneedles and iontophoresis techniques, involving "pressing and poking, phase transformation, and diffusion and iontophoresis", which can actively deliver 90.19% drug into the HS tissue with excellent in vitro drug permeation performance. PBIMNP administration effectively reduced the mRNA and protein levels, leading to a decrease in the expression of TGF-β1 and Col I associated with HS formation, demonstrating its efficacy in HS treatment. The microneedles and wearable design endow the PBIMNP as a highly promising platform for self-administration on HS treatment.

Flexible Organic Photovoltaic-Powered Hydrogel Bioelectronic Dressing With Biomimetic Electrical Stimulation for Healing Infected Diabetic Wounds.

Project description:Electrical stimulation (ES) is proposed as a therapeutic solution for managing chronic wounds. However, its widespread clinical adoption is limited by the requirement of additional extracorporeal devices to power ES-based wound dressings. In this study, a novel sandwich-structured photovoltaic microcurrent hydrogel dressing (PMH dressing) is designed for treating diabetic wounds. This innovative dressing comprises flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells, a flexible micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) electrode, and a multifunctional hydrogel serving as an electrode-tissue interface. The PMH dressing is engineered to administer ES, mimicking the physiological injury current occurring naturally in wounds when exposed to light; thus, facilitating wound healing. In vitro experiments are performed to validate the PMH dressing's exceptional biocompatibility and robust antibacterial properties. In vivo experiments and proteomic analysis reveal that the proposed PMH dressing significantly accelerates the healing of infected diabetic wounds by enhancing extracellular matrix regeneration, eliminating bacteria, regulating inflammatory responses, and modulating vascular functions. Therefore, the PMH dressing is a potent, versatile, and effective solution for diabetic wound care, paving the way for advancements in wireless ES wound dressings.

M2 macrophage-polarized anti-inflammatory microneedle patch for accelerating biofilm-infected diabetic wound healing via modulating the insulin pathway.

Project description:Macrophages play a pivotal role in the healing of diabetic ulcers. The sustained elevation of glucose levels damages the insulin signaling pathway in macrophages, leading to dysfunctional macrophages that struggle to transition from pro-inflammatory (M1) to reparative (M2) states. Therefore, modulating macrophage inflammatory responses via the insulin pathway holds promise for diabetic ulcer treatment. Additionally, the presence of biofilm impedes drug penetration, and the resulting immunosuppressive microenvironment exacerbates the persistent infiltration of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages. Therefore, we designed an array of dissolvable microneedle (denoted as NPF@MN) loaded with self-assembled nanoparticles that could deliver NPF nanoparticles, acid-sensitive NPF-releasing Protocatechualdehyde (PA) with hypoglycemic and insulin-like effects, regulating macrophage polarization to an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Additionally, this study extensively examined the mechanism by which NPF@MN accelerates the healing of diabetic ulcers through the activation of the insulin signaling pathway. Through RNA-seq and GSEA analysis, we identified a reduction in the expression of pathway-related factors such as IR, IRS-1, IRS-2, and SHC. Our work presents an innovative therapeutic approach targeting the insulin pathway in diabetic ulcers and underscores its translational potential for clinical management.

Antibacterial and angiogenic chitosan microneedle array patch for promoting wound healing.

Project description:A patch with the capability of avoiding wound infection and promoting tissue remolding is of great value for wound healing. In this paper, we develop a biomass chitosan microneedle array (CSMNA) patch integrated with smart responsive drug delivery for promoting wound healing. Chitosan possesses many outstanding features such as the natural antibacterial property and has been widely utilized for wound healing. Besides, the microstructure of microneedles enables the effective delivery of loaded drugs into the target area and avoids the excessive adhesion between the skin and the patch. Also, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is encapsulated in the micropores of CSMNA by temperature sensitive hydrogel. Therefore, the smart release of the drugs can be controllably realized via the temperature rising induced by the inflammation response at the site of wounds. It is demonstrated that the biomass CSMNA patch can promote inflammatory inhibition, collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration during the wound closure. Thus, this versatile CSMNA patch is potentially valuable for wound healing in clinical applications.

Photothermal-controlled microneedle for transdermal delivery of metal-phenolic nanozyme with staged multifunctions to accelerate healing of infected diabetic wounds.

Project description:Conventional wound dressings for infected diabetic wounds (IDWs) typically target only the wound surface, often neglecting the need for multifunctional therapies that address deeper tissue layers, resulting in less effective treatment outcomes. Emerging research suggests that a comprehensive approach to IDW therapy should involve the transdermal delivery of therapeutic agents capable of staged bacterial eradication, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, and angiogenesis. This study introduces a novel metal-phenolic nanozyme, CuTA@MnO2 nanoflake, designed for transdermal delivery in IDW therapy. The nanozyme is synthesized by loading copper ions (Cu2+) onto manganese dioxide (MnO2) via in-situ polymerization, with tannic acid (TA) as a linker, and encapsulated in a hyaluronic acid (HA) solution to form a photothermally controlled microneedle system. In a IDW rat model, this system effectively delivered photothermal therapy, eliminating bacteria under 808 nm near-infrared light. The heat-induced HA degradation released the CuTA@MnO2 nanoflake, where MnO2 and TA reduced ROS levels, providing antioxidant effects. Concurrently, released Cu2+ promoted angiogenesis, significantly accelerating wound healing. Whole transcriptome RNA sequencing confirmed that the CuTA@MnO2 microneedle enhanced angiogenesis and collagen remodeling, along with reduced inflammation. The CuTA@MnO2 microneedle offers a promising platform for the staged treatment of IDWs through bacterial eradication, oxidant scavenging, and angiogenesis promotion.
