Reactive oxygen species-responsive supramolecular deucravacitinib self-assembly polymer micelles alleviate psoriatic skin inflammation by reducing mitochondrial oxidative stress. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1407782. [PMID: 38799436 PMCID: PMC11116664 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1407782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction The new topical formula is urgent needed to meet clinical needs for majority mild patients with psoriasis. Deucravacitinib exerts outstanding anti-psoriatic capacity as an oral TYK2 inhibitor; however, single therapy is insufficient to target the complicated psoriatic skin, including excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and persistent inflammation. To address this need, engineered smart nano-therapeutics hold potential for the topical delivery of deucravacitinib. Methods hydrophobic Deucravacitinib was loaded into polyethylene glycol block-polypropylene sulphide (PEG-b-PPS) for transdermal delivery in the treatment of psoriasis. The oxidative stress model of HaCaT psoriasis was established by TNF-α and IL-17A in vitro. JC-1 assay, DCFH-DA staining and mtDNA copy number were utilized to assess mitochondrial function. 0.75% Carbopol®934 was incorporated into SPMs to produce hydrogels and Rhb was labeled to monitor penetration by Immunofluorescence. In vivo, we established IMQ-induced psoriatic model to evaluate therapeutic effect of Car@Deu@PEPS. Results Deu@PEPS exerted anti-psoriatic effects by restoring mitochondrial DNA copy number and mitochondrial membrane potential in HaCaT. In vivo, Car@Deu@PEPS supramolecular micelle hydrogels had longer retention time in the dermis in the IMQ-induced ROS microenvironment. Topical application of Car@Deu@PEPS significantly restored the normal epidermal architecture of psoriatic skin with abrogation of splenomegaly in the IMQ-induced psoriatic dermatitis model. Car@Deu@PEPS inhibited STAT3 signaling cascade with a corresponding decrease in the levels of the differentiation and proliferative markers Keratin 17 and Cyclin D1, respectively. Meanwhile, Car@Deu@PEPS alleviated IMQ-induced ROS generation and subsequent NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis. Conclusion Deu@PEPS exerts prominent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects, which may offers a more patient-acceptable therapy with fewer adverse effects compared with oral deucravacitinib.

[PMID: 38145214 PMCID: PMC10746392 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.11.015] [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: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
High levels of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) induce psoriasis. Currently, the treatment of psoriasis has the disadvantages of penetration difficulty, suppression of normal immunity, and skin irritation. In this study, biguanide chitosan microneedles (BGC-MNs) were prepared to treat psoriasis by removing cfDNA from the dermis through the skin barrier. The effects of chitosan with different bisguanidine contents on DNA-binding capacity, biocompatibility, and inflammation inhibition were compared, revealing that chitosan containing 20% bisguanidine (BGC2) was found to have the best overall performance. In vitro, BGC2 effectively cleared cfDNA and inhibited the production of inflammatory factors. BGC-MN made from BGC2 had good mechanical and solubility properties. In vivo, BGC-MNs cleared cfDNA, reduced the level of inflammatory factors in the dermis, and exerted a good therapeutic effect on mice with psoriasis. These results suggested that BGC-MNs provided a new approach to treating psoriasis in terms of scavenging cfDNA and exerting anti-inflammatory effects.

Various types of nanoparticles (NPs) play significant roles, serving as vaccine vehicles to enhance immunogenicity and as drug carriers to improve targeting and bioavailability. NPs can also directly combat pathogens and inflammation. In addition, nanotechnology has facilitated the development of biosensors for pathogen detection and imaging techniques for inflammatory diseases. This review categorizes and characterizes different types of NPs, summarizes their applications in the prevention, treatment, and detection of infectious and inflammatory diseases. It also discusses the challenges associated with clinical translation in this field and explores the latest developments and prospects. In conclusion, nanotechnology opens up new possibilities for the comprehensive management of infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
The development of autoimmune diseases and the rejection of transplanted organs are primarily caused by an exaggerated immune response to autoantigens or graft antigens. Achieving immune tolerance is crucial for the effective treatment of these conditions. However, traditional therapies often have limited therapeutic efficacy and can result in systemic toxic effects. The emergence of nanomedicine offers a promising avenue for addressing immune-related diseases. Among the various nanoparticle formulations, cationic nanoparticles have demonstrated significant potential in inducing immune tolerance. In this review, we provide an overview of the underlying mechanism of autoimmune disease and organ transplantation rejection. We then highlight the recent advancements and advantages of utilizing cationic nanoparticles for inducing immune tolerance in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and the prevention of transplant rejection.

Abstract
Only a minority of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients achieve disease remission, so the exploration of additional pathogenic factors and the development of new therapeutics are needed. Here, strong correlations among the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) level and the inflammatory response in clinical synovial fluid samples and RA disease activity are discovered. The important role of cfDNA in disease development in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) murine model is also demonstrated. Building on these findings, a novel therapeutic based on anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophage-derived exosomes as chassis, that are modified with both oligolysine and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-cleavable polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the membrane, is developed. After intravenous injection, PEG-enabled prolonged circulation and C─C motif chemokine ligand-directed accumulation together result in enrichment at inflamed joints. Following subsequent MMP cleavage, the positively charged oligolysine is exposed for cfDNA scavenging, while exosomes induce M2 polarization. By using a classical CIA murine model and a newly established CIA canine model, it is demonstrated that the rationally designed exosome therapeutic substantially suppresses inflammation in joints and provides strong chondroprotection and osteoprotection, revealing its potential for effective CIA amelioration.

Abstract
The neuroinflammatory responses following ischemic stroke cause irreversible nerve cell death. Cell free-double strand DNA (dsDNA) segments from ischemic tissue debris are engulfed by microglia and sensed by their cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), which triggers robust activation of the innate immune stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway and initiate the chronic inflammatory cascade. The decomposition of immunogenic dsDNA and inhibition of the innate immune STING are synergistic immunologic targets for ameliorating neuroinflammation. To combine the anti-inflammatory strategies of STING inhibition and dsDNA elimination, we constructed a DNase-mimetic artificial enzyme loaded with C-176. Nanoparticles are self-assembled by amphiphilic copolymers (P[CL35-b-(OEGMA20.7-co-NTAMA14.3)]), C-176, and Ce4+ which is coordinated with nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) group to form corresponding catalytic structures. Our work developed a new nano-drug that balances the cGAS-STING axis to enhance the therapeutic impact of stroke by combining the DNase-memetic Ce4+ enzyme and STING inhibitor synergistically. In conclusion, it is a novel approach to modulating central nervus system (CNS) inflammatory signaling pathways and improving stroke prognosis.

Abstract
Cell-based therapeutics are novel therapeutic strategies that can potentially treat many presently incurable diseases through novel mechanisms of action. Cell therapies may benefit from the ease, safety, and efficacy of administering therapeutic cells. Despite considerable recent technological and biological advances, several barriers remain to the clinical translation and commercialization of cell-based therapies, including low patient compliance, personal handling inconvenience, poor biosafety, and limited biocompatibility. Microneedles (MNs) are emerging as a promising biomedical device option for improved cell delivery with little invasion, pain-free administration, and simplicity of disposal. MNs have shown considerable promise in treating a wide range of diseases and present the potential to improve cell-based therapies. In this review, we first summarized the latest advances in the various types of MNs developed for cell delivery and cell sampling. Emphasis was given to the design and fabrication of various types of MNs based on their structures and materials. Then we focus on the recent biomedical applications status of MNs-mediated cell delivery and sampling, including tissue repair (wound healing, heart repair, and endothelial repair), cancer treatment, diabetes therapy, cell sampling, and other applications. Finally, the current status of clinical application, potential perspectives, and the challenges for clinical translation are also highlighted.

Abstract
Cancer metastasis that is resistant to conventional therapies has become a major cause of patient death. Recent reports indicate that the neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) is closely associated with cancer distant metastases, and the cell-free DNA of NETs has been identified as the ligand of the transmembrane protein CCDC25 of cancer cells, acting as a chemokine to induce cancer cell migration to distant organs. In this work, we present the poly(aspartic acid) based-cationic materials to interfere with the interaction between NET-DNA and CCDC25, and furthermore to inhibit NET-DNA-mediated cancer cell chemotaxis and migration. Because of a stronger binding affinity to DNA and favorable retention in the liver, nanoparticulate poly(aspartic acid) derivatives (cANP) efficiently reduce the level of hepatic NET-DNA infiltration, leading to a significant suppression of cancer metastases in mice and several human metastatic models. Moreover, the cANP exhibits no toxicity to organs of animals during the entire treatment. Thus, this work suggests a strategy for controlling cancer metastases, which will benefit patients in clinics.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a complex autoimmune skin condition with a significant genetic component. It causes skin inflammation and is characterized by flaky, silvery reddish spots that can worsen with age. This condition results from an impaired immunological response of T-cells and affects 2-5% of the global population. The severity of the illness determines the choice of treatment. Topical treatments are commonly used to treat psoriasis, but they can have several adverse effects. Biological therapy is another option for treating specific types of psoriasis. Recently, new nanoformulations have revolutionized psoriasis treatment. Various nanocarriers, such as liposomes, nanostructured lipid nanoparticles, niosomes, and nanoemulsions, have been developed and improved for drug delivery. The use of nanocarriers enhances patient compliance, precise drug delivery, and drug safety. This review aims to suggest new nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems for treating psoriasis. It discusses the importance of nanocarriers and compares them to traditional treatments. Anti-psoriatic drugs have also been investigated for cutaneous delivery using nanocarriers. The review also covers various factors that influence dermal targeting. By highlighting several relevant aspects of psoriasis treatment, the review emphasizes the current potential of nanotechnology. Using nanocarriers as a drug delivery technique may be a promising alternative treatment for psoriasis.

Mixed-surface polyamidoamine polymer variants retain nucleic acid-scavenger ability with reduced toxicity. iScience 2022; 25:105542. [PMID: 36444294 PMCID: PMC9700028 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2022.105542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Nucleic acid-binding polymers can have anti-inflammatory properties and beneficial effects in animal models of infection, trauma, cancer, and autoimmunity. PAMAM G3, a polyamidoamine dendrimer, is fully cationic bearing 32 protonable surface amines. However, while PAMAM G3 treatment leads to improved outcomes for mice infected with influenza, at risk of cancer metastasis, or genetically prone to lupus, its administration can lead to serosal inflammation and elevation of biomarkers of liver and kidney damage. Variants with reduced density of cationic charge through the interspersal of hydroxyl groups were evaluated as potentially better-tolerated alternatives. Notably, the variant PAMAM G3 50:50, similar in size as PAMAM G3 but with half the charge, was not toxic in cell culture, less associated with weight loss or serosal inflammation after parenteral administration, and remained effective in reducing glomerulonephritis in lupus-prone mice. Identification of such modified scavengers should facilitate their development as safe and effective anti-inflammatory agents.

[PMID: 36678639 PMCID: PMC9860843 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15010010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Skin has a preventive role against any damage raised by harmful microorganisms and physical and chemical assaults from the external environment that could affect the body's internal organs. Dermis represents the main section of the skin, and its contribution to skin physiology is critical due to its diverse cellularity, vasculature, and release of molecular mediators involved in the extracellular matrix maintenance and modulation of the immune response. Skin structure and complexity limit the transport of substances, promoting the study of different types of nanoparticles that penetrate the skin layers under different mechanisms intended for skin illness treatments and dermo-cosmetic applications. In this work, we present a detailed morphological description of the dermis in terms of its structures and resident cells. Furthermore, we analyze the role of the dermis in regulating skin homeostasis and its alterations in pathophysiological conditions, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target. Additionally, we describe the use of nanoparticles for skin illness treatments focused on dermis release and promote the use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as an integrative strategy for skin treatments.

Abstract
Excessive cell-free DNA (cfDNA) released by damaged or apoptotic cells can cause inflammation, impacting the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). cfDNA scavengers, such as cationic nanoparticles (NPs), have been demonstrated as an efficient strategy for treating RA. However, most scavengers are limited by unfavorable biocompatibility and poor scavenging efficacy. Herein, by exploiting the favorable biocompatibility, biodegradability and bioadhesion of polydopamine (P), we modified P with dimethylamino groups to form altered charged DPs to bind negatively charged cfDNA for RA therapy. Results showed that DPs endowed with superior binding affinity of cfDNA and little cytotoxicity, which effectively inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated inflammation in vitro, resulting in the relief of joint swelling, synovial hyperplasia and cartilage destruction in RA rats. Significantly, DPs with higher DS of bis dimethylamino group exhibited higher positive charge density and stronger cfDNA binding affinity, leading to excellent RA therapeutic effect among all of the treated groups, which was even close to normal rats. These finding provides a novel strategy for the treatment of cfDNA-associated diseases. Novel dimethylamino modified PDA NPs is applied as cfDNA scavenger. The high positively charged modified P displays high binding affinity of cfDNA. High positive charge density of cfDNA scavenger endows high efficacy RA therapy. Novel biocompatible cfDNA scavenger aims for cfDNA associated diseases therapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) at supraphysiological concentration have a determinate role in contributing to immuno-metabolic disorders in the epithelial immune microenvironment (EIME) of psoriatic lesions. With an exclusive focus on the gene-oxidative stress environment interaction in the EIME, a comprehensive strategy based on ROS-regulating nanomedicines is greatly anticipated to become the mainstay of anti-psoriasis treatment. This potential therapeutic modality could inhibit the acceleration of psoriasis via remodeling the redox equilibrium and reshaping the EIME. Herein, we present a marked overview of the current progress in the pathomechanisms of psoriasis, with particular concerns on the potential pathogenic role of ROS, which significantly dysregulates redox metabolism of keratinocytes (KCs) and skin-resident or -infiltrating cells. Meanwhile, the emergence of versatile nanomaterial-guided evolution for transdermal drug delivery has been attractive for the percutaneous administration of antipsoriatic therapies in recent years. We emphasize the underlying molecular mechanism of ROS-based nanoreactors for improved therapeutic outcomes against psoriasis and summarize up-to-date progress relating to the advantages and limitations of nanotherapeutic application for transdermal administration, as well as update an insight into potential future directions for nanotherapies in ROS-related skin diseases.

A multifunctional composite hydrogel as an intrinsic and extrinsic coregulator for enhanced therapeutic efficacy for psoriasis. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:155.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis is a chronic relapsing immunological skin disease characterized by multiple cross-talk inflammatory circuits which are relevantly associated with abnormal cross-reactivity between immune cells and keratinocytes (KCs). It may be inadequate to eradicate complicated pathogenesis only via single-mode therapy. To provide optimal combinatory therapeutics, a nanocomposite-based hydrogel was constructed by loading methotrexate (MTX) into ZnO/Ag to realize combined multiple target therapy of psoriasis. Results In this composite hydrogel, ZnO hybrid mesoporous microspheres were utilized both as drug carriers and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging nanoparticles. A proper amount of Ag nanoparticle-anchored ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO/Ag) was functionalized with inherent immunoregulatory property. The experiments showed that ZnO/Ag nanoparticles could exhibit a self-therapeutic effect that was attributed to reducing innate cytokine profiles by inactivating p65 in proinflammatory macrophages and abrogating secretion of adaptive cytokines in KCs by downregulating ROS-mediated STAT3-cyclin D1 signaling. A preferable antipsoriatic efficacy was achieved via topical administration of this hydrogel on the imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis mice model, demonstrating the superior transdermal delivery and combined enhancement of therapeutic efficacy caused by intrinsic nanoparticles and extrinsic MTX. Conclusion This composite hydrogel could serve as a multifunctional, nonirritating, noninvasive and effective transcutaneous nanoagent against psoriasis. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Abstract
Cationic nanomaterials are defined as nanoscale structures smaller than 100 nm bearing positive charges. They have been investigated to apply to many aspects including clinical diagnosis, gene delivery, drug delivery, and tissue engineering for years. Recently, a novel concept has been made to use cationic nanomaterials as cell-free nucleic acid scavengers and inhibits the inflammatory responses in autoimmune diseases. Here, we highlighted different types of cationic materials which have the potential for autoimmune disease treatment and reviewed the strategy for autoimmune diseases therapy based on cationic nanoparticles. This review will also demonstrate the challenges and possible solutions that are encountered during the development of cationic materials-based therapeutics for autoimmune diseases.
