Biofilm formation is a main challenge in treatment of bone-implant-associated infections, resulting in tolerance to immune system and antibiotics. However, smart non-surgical or non-invasive treatment methods of combating established biofilm on an implant have been less reported. Herein, a therapeutic system consisting of mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA) to combat biofilm is reported for the first time. We develop a synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) strategy aiming for biofilms eradication on titanium (Ti) implant, which is integrated with MPDA loading with photosensitizer Indocyanine Green (ICG) by π-π stacking. Specifically, MPDA is functionalized with RGD peptide to endow the modified Ti sample (Ti-M/I/RGD) with good cytocompatibility. More importantly, Ti-M/I/RGD implant remarkably kills Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) biofilm with an efficiency of 95.4% in vivo upon near infrared (NIR). After biofilm eradication, implant still displays great performance regarding osteogenesis and osseointegration. Overall, this study provides a PTT/PDT strtategy for the development of antibacterial Ti implants for potential orthpediac application.
生物膜的形成是治疗骨植入物相关感染的主要挑战,导致对免疫系统和抗生素产生耐药性。然而,针对植入物上已建立的生物膜的智能非手术或非侵入性治疗方法报道较少。本文首次报道了一种由介孔聚多巴胺纳米粒子(MPDA)组成的治疗系统,用于对抗生物膜。我们开发了一种协同光热/光动力疗法(PTT/PDT)策略,旨在消除钛(Ti)植入物上的生物膜,该策略通过π-π 堆积将光敏剂吲哚菁绿(ICG)负载到 MPDA 上。具体而言,MPDA 用 RGD 肽功能化,使修饰后的 Ti 样品(Ti-M/I/RGD)具有良好的细胞相容性。更重要的是,Ti-M/I/RGD 植入物在近红外(NIR)照射下,体内对金黄色葡萄球菌(S. aureus)生物膜的杀灭效率高达 95.4%。在清除生物膜后,植入物在成骨和骨整合方面仍表现出良好的性能。总的来说,本研究为开发用于潜在矫形应用的抗菌 Ti 植入物提供了一种 PTT/PDT 策略。
