To provide multilayered combination therapies encompassing nanoparticles and organic peptides and to assess their efficacy in the treatment of arthritis.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Fish oil protein (FP) was isolated from fish oil glands and tagged with spherical gold nanoparticles (GNPs). Tagged GNPs were encapsulated in DPPC liposomes (FP-GNP-DPPC) and characterized.
RESULTS & CONCLUSION: FP increased the hydrophilicity of GNP, while encapsulation of FP-GNP within liposomes increased the hydrophobicity. In vitro release studies of FP-GNP-DPPC exhibited sustained release of FP in simulated synovial fluid. FP-GNP-DPPC injected into intra-articular joints of rats displayed anti-osteoarthritic effects in osteoarthritic rat model. This is the first study to report the anti-osteoarthritic activity of FP and DPPC encapsulated FP-GNP liposomes.
提供包含纳米粒子和有机肽的多层次联合疗法,并评估其在关节炎治疗中的疗效。
从鱼油腺中分离出鱼油蛋白(FP),并将其标记为球形金纳米粒子(GNPs)。标记的 GNPs 被包裹在 DPPC 脂质体(FP-GNP-DPPC)中,并进行了表征。
FP 增加了 GNP 的亲水性,而将 FP-GNP 包裹在脂质体中则增加了疏水性。FP-GNP-DPPC 的体外释放研究显示,在模拟滑液中 FP 呈现持续释放。将 FP-GNP-DPPC 注入大鼠关节内,在骨关节炎大鼠模型中显示出抗骨关节炎作用。这是首次报道 FP 和 DPPC 包封 FP-GNP 脂质体的抗骨关节炎活性的研究。
