Abstract
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition in which a dysregulated immune response contributes to the acute intestinal inflammation of the colon. Current clinical therapies often exhibit limited efficacy and undesirable side effects. Here, programmable nanomicelles were designed for colitis treatment and loaded with RU.521, an inhibitor of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway. STING-inhibiting micelles (SIMs) comprise hyaluronic acid-stearic acid conjugates and include a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive thioketal linker. SIMs were designed to selectively accumulate at the site of inflammation and trigger drug release in the presence of ROS. Our in vitro studies in macrophages and in vivo studies in a murine model of colitis demonstrated that SIMs leverage HA-CD44 binding to target sites of inflammation. Oral delivery of SIMs to mice in both preventive and delayed therapeutic models ameliorated colitis's severity by reducing STING expression, suppressing the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, enabling bodyweight recovery, protecting mice from colon shortening, and restoring colonic epithelium. In vivo end points combined with metabolomics identified key metabolites with a therapeutic role in reducing intestinal and mucosal inflammation. Our findings highlight the significance of programmable delivery platforms that downregulate inflammatory pathways at the intestinal mucosa for managing inflammatory bowel diseases.

Abstract
Ischemia stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Owing to the limited delivery efficiency to the brain caused by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and off-target effects of systemic treatment, it is crucial to develop an in situ drug delivery system to improve the therapeutic effect in ischemic stroke. Briefly, we report a multifunctional in situ hydrogel delivery system for the co-delivery of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive nanoparticles loaded with atorvastatin calcium (DSPE-se-se-PEG@AC NPs) and β-nerve growth factor (NGF), which is expected to remodel pathological microenvironment for improving cerebral ischemia injury. The in vitro results exhibited the multifunctional hydrogel scavenged oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced free radical, rescued the mitochondrial function, and maintained the survival and function of neurons, hence reducing neuronal apoptosis and neuroinflammation, consequently relieving ischemia injury in hippocampal neurons cell line (HT22). In the rat ischemia stroke model, the hydrogel significantly minified cerebral infarction by regulating inflammatory response, saving apoptotic neurons, and promoting angiogenesis and neurogenesis. Besides, the hydrogel distinctly improved the rats' neurological deficits after cerebral ischemia injury over the long-term observation. In conclusion, the in-situ hydrogel platform has demonstrated promising therapeutic effects in both in vitro and in vivo studies, indicating its potential as a new and effective therapy.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CisPt)-induced ototoxicity (CIO) is delineated as a consequence of CisPt-induced intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can be circumvented by Bucillamine (BUC; an antioxidant drug with sulfhydryl groups) and Diltiazem (DLT, L-type calcium channel blocker). However, its effective accumulation in the Organ of Corti and cell cytoplasm is desired. Therefore, a biocompatible BUC- and DLT-nanoparticles (NPs)-impregnated dual stimuli-responsive formulation (NanoSensoGel) presented here with ROS- and thermo-responsive properties for the sustained and receptive delivery of drugs. The ROS-responsive polypropylene sulfide- methyl polyethylene glycol-2000 (PPS-mPEG2000) polymer was rationally designed, synthesized, and characterized to fabricate BUC- and DLT-loaded PPS-mPEG2000-NPs (BUC- and DLT-NPs). The fabricated BUC- and DLT-NPs showed efficient cellular uptake, intracellular delivery, ROS responsiveness, and cytoprotective effect which was characterized using cellular internalization, intracellular ROS, mitochondrial superoxide, and Caspase 3/7 assays on the House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti-1 (HEI-OC1) cells. The composite NanoSensoGel (i.e., ROS-responsive BUC- and DLT-NPs suspended in the thermo-responsive hydrogel) present in a sol state at room temperature and turned to gel above 33°C, which could be essential for retaining the formulation at the target site for long-term release. The NanoSensoGel showed sustained release of BUC and DLT following Fickian release diffusion kinetics. Overall, a novel NanoSensoGel formulation developed in this study has demonstrated its great potential in delivering therapeutics in the inner ear for prophylactic treatment of CIO, and associated hearing loss.

Abstract
Depression is one of the most common mental diseases, which seriously affects patients' physical and mental health. Emerging evidence has indicated that oxidative stress (OS) is a major cause of neurodegeneration involved in the pathogenesis of depression. Consequently, targeted reactive oxygen species (ROS) elimination is regarded as a promising strategy for efficient depression therapy. In addition, insufficient brain drug delivery is the main obstacle to depression therapy owing to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). To achieve the goals of bypassing the BBB and promoting antioxidant therapy for depression, a broad-spectrum ROS scavenging NPs was rationally designed through a nasal-brain pathway developed for combined ROS scavenging and brain drug delivery. A hexa-arginine (R6) modified ROS-responsive dextran (DEX) derivate was synthesized for antidepressant olanzapine (Olz) and H2 donor amino borane (AB) loading to prepare Olz/RDPA nanoparticles (NPs). Subsequently, the NPs were dispersed into a thermoresponsive hydrogel system based on poloxamer. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that Olz/RDPA in situ thermoresponsive hydrogel system could effectively deliver NPs to the brain via the nasal-brain pathway and alleviate depression-like behaviors through combined ROS depletion and inhibition of 5-HT dysfunction of the oxidative stress-induced. The proposed ROS-scavenging nanotherapeutic would open a new window for depression treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: ROS is an innovative therapeutic target involving the pathology of depression whereas targeted delivery of ROS scavenging has not been achieved yet. In the current study, ROS-responsive nanoparticles (Olz/RDPA NPs) were prepared and dispersed in a thermosensitive hydrogel for delivery through the nasal-brain pathway for the treatment of depression. Sufficient ROS depletion and improvement of delivery capacity by the nasal-brain pathway effectively could reverse oxidative stress and alleviate depressive-like behavior. Collectively, these nanoparticles may represent a promising strategy for the treatment of depression.

Abstract
It is challenging to manage inflammatory diseases using traditional anti-inflammatory drugs due to their limited efficacy and systemic side effects, which are a result of their lack of selectivity, poor stability, and low solubility. Herein, it reports the development of a novel nanoparticle system, called ROS-CA-NPs, which is formed using polymer-cinnamaldehyde (CA) conjugates and is responsive to reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS-CA-NPs exhibit excellent drug stability, tissue selectivity, and controlled drug release upon oxidative stress activation. Using mouse models of chronic rheumatoid arthritis and acute ulcerative colitis, this study demonstrates that the systemic administration of ROS-CA-NPs results in their accumulation at inflamed lesions and leads to greater therapeutic efficacy compared to traditional drugs. Furthermore, ROS-CA-NPs present excellent biocompatibility. The findings suggest that ROS-CA-NPs have the potential to be developed as safe and effective nanotherapeutic agents for a broad range of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapy has shown tremendous potential for different diseases including cancer. While mRNA has been extensively used in cancer vaccine development as antigen or in cancer immunotherapy as immunomodulatory agent, the combination of mRNA therapy with photodynamic therapy has not been explored in cancer treatment. Herein, we report a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive polymeric nanoparticle (NP) platform for first-in-field codelivery of mRNA and photosensitizer for effective cancer treatment. We developed ROS-responsive oligomer-based polymeric NPs and applied them to test a combination of p53 mRNA and indocyanine green (ICG). The ROS-triggered disassembly of the NPs could promote mRNA translation efficiency, whereby p53 expression induced apoptosis of lung tumor cells. Meanwhile, the released ICG could lead to generation of ROS under 808 nm laser irradiation to induce photodynamic therapy. The NP codelivery of p53 mRNA and ICG demonstrated an effective and safe anti-tumor effect in a lung cancer model.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a serious threat to the health and lives of patients without any effective therapy. Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is considered a principal cause of MIRI. Some natural products, including ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3), exhibit robust antioxidant activity. However, the lack of an effective delivery strategy for this hydrophobic compound hinders its clinical application. In addition, therapeutic targets and molecular mechanisms of Rg3 require further elucidation to establish its mode of action. This study aimed to generate ROS-responsive nanoparticles (PEG-b-PPS) via the self-assembly of diblock copolymers of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly (propylene sulfide) (PPS) and use them for Rg3 encapsulation and delivery. We identified FoxO3a as the therapeutic target of Rg3 using molecular docking and gene silencing. In rat ischemia-reperfusion model, an intramyocardial injection of Rg3-loaded PEG-b-PPS nanoparticles improved the cardiac function and reduced the infarct size. The mechanism of action was established as Rg3 targeting of FoxO3a, which inhibited the promotion of oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis via downstream signaling pathways. In conclusion, this approach, involving ROS-responsive drug release, together with the identification of the target and mechanism of action of Rg3, provided an effective strategy for treating ischemic diseases and oxidative stress and could accelerate the implementation of hydrophobic natural products in clinical applications.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) not only has greater tissue-penetrating depth compared to photo-stimulated therapies, but also can also trigger rapid drug release to achieve synergistic sonochemotherapy. Here, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive IR780/PTL- nanoparticles (NPs) are designed by self-assembly, which contain ROS-cleavable thioketal linkers (TL) to promote paclitaxel (PTX) release during SDT. Under ultrasound (US) stimulation, IR780/PTL-NPs produce high amounts of ROS, which not only induces apoptosis in human glioma (U87) cells but also boosts PTX released by decomposing the ROS-sensitive TL. In the U87 tumor-bearing mouse model, the IR780/PTL-NPs releases the drug at the target sites in a controlled manner upon US irradiation, which significantly inhibits tumor growth and induces apoptosis in the tumor tissues with no obvious toxicity. Taken together, the IR780/PTL-NPs are a novel platform for sonochemotherapy, and can control the spatio-temporal release of chemotherapeutic drugs during SDT.
