siRNA-mediated management of myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury is greatly hampered by the inefficient enrichment and cardiomyocyte transfection. Herein, nanocomplexes (NCs) reversibly camouflaged with a platelet-macrophage hybrid membrane (HM) are developed to efficiently deliver Sav1 siRNA (siSav1) into cardiomyocytes, suppressing Hippo pathway inducing regeneration. The biomimetic BSPC@HM NCs consist cationic nanocore assembled from membrane-penetrating helical polypeptide (P-Ben) siSav1, charge-reversal intermediate layer poly(l-lysine)-cis-aconitic acid (PC), an outer shell HM. Due HM-mediated inflammation homing microthrombus targeting, intravenously injected can accumulate in IR-injured myocardium, where acidic inflammatory microenvironment triggers charge reversal PC shed off both HM layers allow penetration exposed P-Ben/siSav1 cardiomyocytes. In rats pigs, remarkably downregulates promotes myocardium regeneration, suppresses apoptosis, recovers cardiac functions. This study reports bioinspired strategy overcome multiple systemic barriers against delivery, holds profound potential for gene therapy injuries.

Sepsis is a disease caused by infection, which characterized dysregulated immune response in the host and affects more than 30 million people worldwide each year. However, current single therapeutic approaches are not effective controlling progression of sepsis. Here, we synthesize nanoparticle (TMP) containing tannic acid (TA), Polymyxin B (PMB), Mn2+ (Mn) simple one-pot method. TMP has following characteristics: (1) All components have good biocompatibility; (2) preparation process without subsequent processing; (3) antibacterial remove multiple inflammatory mediators; (4) effectively mitigating cytokine storm both acute lung injury (ALI) cecal ligation puncture (CLP) model.

Immune disorders induced by cell-free DNA (cfDNA) account for the incidence and deterioration of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Scavenging cfDNA using cationic polymers represents a promising modality SLE management. However, they bind mainly via electrostatic interaction, which would result in an undesired discharge captured upon competitive replacement negatively charged serum/intracellular components. Inspired natural recognition mechanism biomacromolecules spatial matching, we herein developed library dendrimer-templated, spherical, α-helical, guanidine-rich polypeptides as molecular clips scavenging. Upon optimization polypeptide length density on dendrimer surface, top-performing G3-8 was identified, could tightly confine within cavity between adjacent, rod-like α-helices. As thus, helical but not random-coiled analogue D,L-G3-8 enabled robust scavenging under serum-rich conditions to inhibit TLR9 activation inflammation. In mice, i.v. injected efficiently prevented organ failure inhibited inflammation cfDNA. This study provides enlightened strategy stably scavenge may shift current paradigm

Abstract Oxidative stress and local overactive inflammation have been considered major obstacles in diabetic wound treatment. Although antiphlogistic tactics reported widely, they are also challenged by pathogen contamination compromised angiogenesis. Herein, a versatile integrated nanoagent based on 2D reductive covalent organic frameworks coated with antibacterial immuno‐engineered exosome (PCOF@E‐Exo) is to achieve efficient comprehensive combination therapy for wounds. The E‐Exo collected from TNF‐α‐treated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) under hypoxia encapsulated cationic antimicrobial carbon dots (CDs). This not only significantly scavenges reactive oxygen species induces anti‐inflammatory M2 macrophage polarization, but stabilizes hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α). More importantly, the PCOF@E‐Exo exhibits intriguing bactericide capabilities toward Gram‐negative, Gram‐positive, drug‐resistant bacteria, showing favorable intracellular bacterial destruction biofilm permeation. In vivo results demonstrate that synergetic impact of suppressing oxidative injury tissue inflammation, promoting angiogenesis eradicating infection, could accelerate infected fester healing better therapeutic benefits than monotherapy or individual antibiotics. proposed strategy can inspire further research design more delicate platforms using immunotherapy other methods ulcerated wounds treatments.
