Gelatinase Responsive Nanogel for Antibacterial Phototherapy and Wound Healing.

ABSTRACT: The unique bactericidal mechanism of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) is considered to be an effective strategy to deal with antibiotic resistance, but the oxidative stress damage caused by excessive accumulation of MNPs to normal cells cannot be ignored. Achieving on-demand release of nano-drugs in specific infection environments is highly attractive. Herein, we constructed a "core-shell" nanogel (G@CuS) based on a copper sulfide (CuS) antimicrobial agent and gelatin for targeted drug release and bacterial clearance in a gelatinase infected microenvironment. G@CuS produced heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS) under the irradiation of a laser, which together with the released Cu²⁺ cause irreversible and efficient physical damage to the bacteria. Moreover, the encapsulation of gelatin not only limits the biotoxicity of CuS nanodots (NDs), but also effectively promotes the proliferation of mammalian cells. Under the synergy of multiple mechanisms, G@CuS eradicated the colonized bacteria in the wound of mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and accelerated wound healing. The proposed application strategy of nanogel is expected to provide a new idea for clinical transformation.

LED Phototherapy with Gelatin Sponge Promotes Wound Healing in Mice.

Project description:Tiny but highly efficient, a light-emitting diode (LED) can power a therapy device, such as a phototherapy device, and, at the same time, decrease the device's size requirements. In this study, a LED phototherapy device was designed to investigate the possible impact on wound healing using a mouse model and a cell line exposed to red and blue light. To enhance wound phototherapy, a gelatin sponge was fabricated. Results showed that the red and blue lights promoted cell growth and wound healing, while the blue light with a gelatin sponge protected the wound from infection in the early stages of wound healing. The LED phototherapy device combined with the gelatin sponge, therefore, has potential significance in clinical application for wound healing.

Superior <i>in vivo</i> Wound-Healing Activity of Mycosynthesized Silver Nanogel on Different Wound Models in Rat.

Project description:Wound healing is a complex phenomenon particularly owing to the rise in antimicrobial resistance. This has attracted the attention of the scientific community to search for new alternative solutions. Among these, silver being antimicrobial has been used since ancient times. Considering this fact, the main goal of our study was to evaluate the wound-healing ability of mycofabricated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). We have focused on the formulation of silver nanogel for the management of wounds in albino Wistar rats. Mycosynthesized AgNPs from Fusarium oxysporum were used for the development of novel wound-healing antimicrobial silver nanogel with different concentrations of AgNPs, i.e., 0.1, 0.5, and 1 mg g-1. The formulated silver nanogel demonstrated excellent wound-healing activity in the incision, excision, and burn wound-healing model. In the incision wound-healing model, silver nanogel at a concentration of 0.5 mg g-1 exhibited superior wound-healing effect, whereas in the case of excision and burn wound-healing model, silver nanogel at the concentrations of 0.1 and 1 mg g-1 showed enhanced wound-healing effect, respectively. Moreover, silver nanogel competently arrests the bacterial growth on the wound surface and offers an improved local environment for scald wound healing. Histological studies of healed tissues and organs of the rat stated that AgNPs at less concentration (1 mg g-1) do not show any toxic or adverse effect on the body and promote wound healing of animal tissue. Based on these studies, we concluded that the silver nanogel prepared from mycosynthesized AgNPs can be used as a promising antimicrobial wound dressing.

A cellulose nanofibril-reinforced hydrogel with robust mechanical, self-healing, pH-responsive and antibacterial characteristics for wound dressing applications.

Project description:BackgroundBacterial infection in wounds has become a major threat to human life and health. With the growth use of synthetic antibiotics and the elevated evolution of drug resistant bacteria in human body cells requires the development of novel wound curing strategies. Herein, a novel pH-responsive hydrogel (RPC/PB) was fabricated using poly(vinyl alcohol)-borax (PB) and natural antibiotic resveratrol grafted cellulose nanofibrils (RPC) for bacterial-infected wound management.ResultsIn this hydrogel matrix, RPC conjugate was interpenetrated in the PB network to form a semi-interpenetrating network that exhibited robust mechanical properties (fracture strength of 149.6 kPa), high self-healing efficiency (> 90%), and excellent adhesion performance (tissue shear stress of 54.2 kPa). Interestingly, the induced RPC/PB hydrogel showed pH-responsive drug release behavior, the cumulative release amount of resveratrol in pH 5.4 was 2.33 times than that of pH 7.4, which was adapted well to the acidic wound microenvironment. Additionally, this RPC/PB hydrogel exhibited excellent biocompatibility and antioxidant effect. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo results revealed that such RPC/PB hydrogel had excellent antibacterial, skin tissue regeneration and wound closure capabilities.ConclusionTherefore, the generated RPC/PB hydrogel could be an excellent wound dressing for bacteria-infected wound healing.

Injectable Self-Healing Adhesive pH-Responsive Hydrogels Accelerate Gastric Hemostasis and Wound Healing.

Project description:Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are well-established therapeutics for gastrointestinal neoplasias, but complications after EMR/ESD, including bleeding and perforation, result in additional treatment morbidity and even threaten the lives of patients. Thus, designing biomaterials to treat gastric bleeding and wound healing after endoscopic treatment is highly desired and remains a challenge. Herein, a series of injectable pH-responsive self-healing adhesive hydrogels based on acryloyl-6-aminocaproic acid (AA) and AA-g-N-hydroxysuccinimide (AA-NHS) were developed, and their great potential as endoscopic sprayable bioadhesive materials to efficiently stop hemorrhage and promote the wound healing process was further demonstrated in a swine gastric hemorrhage/wound model. The hydrogels showed a suitable gelation time, an autonomous and efficient self-healing capacity, hemostatic properties, and good biocompatibility. With the introduction of AA-NHS as a micro-cross-linker, the hydrogels exhibited enhanced adhesive strength. A swine gastric hemorrhage in vivo model demonstrated that the hydrogels showed good hemostatic performance by stopping acute arterial bleeding and preventing delayed bleeding. A gastric wound model indicated that the hydrogels showed excellent treatment effects with significantly enhanced wound healing with type I collagen deposition, α-SMA expression, and blood vessel formation. These injectable self-healing adhesive hydrogels exhibited great potential to treat gastric wounds after endoscopic treatment.

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.

Glucose/ROS cascade-responsive ceria nanozymes for diabetic wound healing.

Project description:Diabetic wounds have an extremely complex microenvironment of hyperglycemia, hypoxia and high reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, the regulation and management of this microenvironment may provide a new and improved treatment method for chronic diabetic wound healing. Herein, a glucose/ROS cascade-responsive nanozyme (CHA@GOx) was developed for diabetic wound treatment based on Ce-driven coassembly by a special dual ligand (alendronic acid and 2-methylimidazole) and glucose oxidase (GOx). It possesses superoxide dismutase and catalase mimic activities, which effectively remove excess ROS. In particular, it can catalyze excessive hydrogen peroxide generated by the glucose oxidation reaction to produce oxygen, regulate the oxygen balance of the wound, and reduce the toxic side effects of GOx, thus achieving the purpose of synergistically repairing diabetic wounds. In vitro experiments show that CHA@GOx assists mouse fibroblast migration and promotes human umbilical vein endothelial cell tube formation. In vivo, it can induce angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization during wound healing in diabetic mice. Taken together, this study indicates that the coassembly of multifunctional nanozymes has implications in diabetic wound healing.

NIR-responsive carrier-free nanoparticles based on berberine hydrochloride and indocyanine green for synergistic antibacterial therapy and promoting infected wound healing.

Project description:Bacterial infections cause severe health conditions, resulting in a significant economic burden for the public health system. Although natural phytochemicals are considered promising anti-bacterial agents, they suffer from several limitations, such as poor water solubility and low bioavailability in vivo, severely restricting their wide application. Herein, we constructed a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive carrier-free berberine hydrochloride (BH, phytochemicals)/indocyanine green (ICG, photosensitizer) nanoparticles (BI NPs) for synergistic antibacterial of an infected wound. Through electrostatic interaction and π-π stacking, the hydrophobic BH and amphiphilic ICG are initially self-assembled to generate carrier-free nanoparticles. The obtained BI NPs demonstrated NIR-responsive drug release behavior and better photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 36%. In addition, BI NPs stimulated by NIR laser exhibited remarkable antibacterial activity, which realized the synergistic antibacterial treatment and promoted infected wound healing. In summary, the current research results provided a candidate strategy for self-assembling new BI NPs to treat bacterial infections synergistically.

Evaluation of antioxidant, antibacterial and wound healing activities of Vitex pinnata.

Project description:Background : Vitex pinnata is a popular ethnomedicinal plant but scientific studies to validate its pharmacological properties are lacking for this plant. This study aims to determine the antioxidant, antimicrobial and wound healing properties of the methanolic extract of the leaves and the hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions. Methods: The leaves of Vitex pinnata underwent methanol extraction and the methanol extract was fractionated with hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate solvents. The antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. The antimicrobial activity was assessed by disc diffusion assay against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. For the wound healing studies, the methanolic extracts of V. pinnata were used to prepare ointments with compositions of 10% (w/w) and 50% (w/w), which were evaluated for wound healing activity in an excision wound model in Wistar rats. Results: All the extracts showed antioxidant activities, with the ethyl acetate extract having the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity, followed by the methanol, chloroform and hexane extracts. Similarly, their quercetin equivalent concentrations were 33.1, 31, 20.3 and 4.5 mg/mL, respectively. Except for the methanol extract, the disc diffusion assay showed that the extracts demonstrated species-specific antibacterial activities, with the ethyl acetate extract showing antibacterial activities against all four tested strains. The wound healing activity of the high dose treated group (50% [w/w]) shows significant increase of wound contraction when compared to the control group. Conclusion: In the current study, the ethyl acetate extract showed activity for all tested bacteria and also had the highest DPPH activity. The methanolic extracts of V. pinnata leaves show modest wound healing activity in an excision wound model.

Highly Stretchable, Adhesive, Biocompatible, and Antibacterial Hydrogel Dressings for Wound Healing.

Project description:Treatment of wounds in special areas is challenging due to inevitable movements and difficult fixation. Common cotton gauze suffers from incomplete joint surface coverage, confinement of joint movement, lack of antibacterial function, and frequent replacements. Hydrogels have been considered as good candidates for wound dressing because of their good flexibility and biocompatibility. Nevertheless, the adhesive, mechanical, and antibacterial properties of conventional hydrogels are not satisfactory. Herein, cationic polyelectrolyte brushes grafted from bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibers are introduced into polydopamine/polyacrylamide hydrogels. The 1D polymer brushes have rigid BC backbones to enhance mechanical property of hydrogels, realizing high tensile strength (21-51 kPa), large tensile strain (899-1047%), and ideal compressive property. Positively charged quaternary ammonium groups of tethered polymer brushes provide long-lasting antibacterial property to hydrogels and promote crawling and proliferation of negatively charged epidermis cells. Moreover, the hydrogels are rich in catechol groups and capable of adhering to various surfaces, meeting adhesive demand of large movement for special areas. With the above merits, the hydrogels demonstrate less inflammatory response and faster healing speed for in vivo wound healing on rats. Therefore, the multifunctional hydrogels show stable covering, little displacement, long-lasting antibacteria, and fast wound healing, demonstrating promise in wound dressing.

Silver-Functionalized Bacterial Cellulose as Antibacterial Membrane for Wound-Healing Applications.

Project description:Bacterial cellulose (BC) functionalized with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is evaluated as an antimicrobial membrane for wound-healing treatment. A facile green synthesis of silver nanoparticles inside the porous three-dimensional weblike BC network has been obtained by UV light irradiation. AgNPs were photochemically deposited onto the BC gel network as well as they were chemically bonded to the cellulose fiber surfaces. AgNPs with a narrow size distribution along with some aggregates in the BC network were evidenced from the morphological analyses. A highly crystalline nature of the BC membranes was observed in X-ray diffraction measurements, and the presence of metallic silver confirmed the photochemical reduction of Ag+ → Ag0 in Ag/BC composites. Antibacterial activity of the hybrid composites, such as pellicles, performed against the Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) by disk diffusion and growth dynamics methods showed high bacteria-killing performance. No significant amount of silver release was observed from the Ag/BC pellicles even after a long soaking time. As composite pellicles are preserved in a moist environment that also favors wound recovery, by combining all of these properties the material could be useful in wound-healing treatments.
