Abstract
With an increasing proportion of drug-resistant bacteria, photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising alternative to antibiotic treatment for infected diabetic skin ulcers. However, the inevitable thermal damage to the tissues restricts its clinical practice. Carbon monoxide (CO), as a bioactive gas molecule, can selectively inhibit bacterial growth and promote tissue regeneration, which may be coordinated with PTT for drug-resistant bacteria killing and tissue protection. Herein, a CO-mediated PTT agent (CO@mPDA) was engineered by loading manganese carbonyl groups into mesoporous polydopamine (mPDA) nanoparticles via coordination interactions between the metal center and a catechol group. Compared to the traditional PTT, the CO-mediated PTT increases the inhibition ratio of the drug-resistant bacteria both in vitro and in diabetic wound beds by selectively inhibiting the co-chaperone of the heat shock protein 90 kDa (Hsp90), and lowers the heat resistance of the bacteria rather than the mammalian tissues. Meanwhile, the tissue-protective proteins, such as Hsp90 and vimentin (Vim), are upregulated via the WNT and PI3K-Akt pathways to reduce thermal injury, especially with a laser with a high-power density. The CO-mediated PTT unified the bacterial killing with tissue protection, which offers a promising concept to improve PTT efficiency and minimize the side-effects of PTT when treating infected skin wounds.

Abstract
Regulation of cellular responses to external stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, or cytokines is achieved through the control of all steps of the complex cascade starting with synthesis, going through maturation steps, release, distribution, degradation and/or uptake of the signalling molecule interacting with the target protein. One possible way of regulation, referred to as scavenging or neutralization of the ligand, has been increasingly studied, especially for small protein ligands. It shows innovative potential in chemical biology approaches as well as in disease treatment. Neutralization of protein ligands, as for example cytokines or chemokines can lead to the validation of signalling pathways under physiological or pathophysiological conditions, and in certain cases, to the development of therapeutic molecules now used in autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammation and cancer treatment. This review explores the field of ligand neutralization and tries to determine to what extent small chemical molecules could substitute for neutralizing antibodies in therapeutic approaches.
