Biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) nanosphere encapsulating superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were successfully synthesized using double emulsion (w/o/w) solvent evaporation technique. Characterization of the nanosphere using dynamic light scattering, field emission scanning electron microscope, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed a spherical-shaped nanosphere in a size range of 812 ± 64 nm with moderate protein encapsulation efficiency of 55.42 ± 3.7 % and high in vitro protein release. Human skin HaCat cells were used for analyzing antioxidative properties of SOD- and CAT-encapsulated PCL nanospheres. Oxidative stress condition in HaCat cells was optimized with exposure to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; 1 mM) as external stress factor and verified through reactive oxygen species (ROS) analysis using H2DCFDA dye. PCL nanosphere encapsulating SOD and CAT together indicated better antioxidative defense against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in human skin HaCat cells in comparison to PCL encapsulating either SOD or CAT alone as well as against direct supplement of SOD and CAT protein solution. Increase in HaCat cells SOD and CAT activities after treatment hints toward uptake of PCL nanosphere into the human skin HaCat cells. The result signifies the role of PCL-encapsulating SOD and CAT nanosphere in alleviating oxidative stress.
采用复乳(w/o/w)溶剂蒸发技术成功合成了包载超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)的可生物降解聚己内酯(PCL)纳米球。通过动态光散射、场发射扫描电子显微镜和傅里叶变换红外光谱对纳米球进行表征,结果表明纳米球呈球形,粒径在 812 ± 64nm 范围内,具有中等的蛋白质包封效率(55.42 ± 3.7%)和较高的体外蛋白质释放。用人皮肤 HaCat 细胞分析包载 SOD 和 CAT 的 PCL 纳米球的抗氧化性能。通过使用 H2DCFDA 染料进行活性氧(ROS)分析,将 HaCat 细胞暴露于过氧化氢(H2O2;1mM)作为外部应激因子来优化 HaCat 细胞的氧化应激条件,并进行验证。与单独包载 SOD 或 CAT 的 PCL 纳米球以及直接补充 SOD 和 CAT 蛋白溶液相比,同时包载 SOD 和 CAT 的 PCL 纳米球对人皮肤 HaCat 细胞中 H2O2 诱导的氧化应激具有更好的抗氧化防御作用。治疗后 HaCat 细胞 SOD 和 CAT 活性的增加表明 PCL 纳米球被摄取到了人皮肤 HaCat 细胞中。该结果表明了包载 SOD 和 CAT 的 PCL 纳米球在减轻氧化应激方面的作用。
