Abstract

The therapeutic efficacies of oral nanotherapeutics for ulcerative colitis (UC) are seriously hindered by the lack of mucus-penetrating capacity and uncontrolled drug release. To overcome these limitations, the surface of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based nanoparticles (NPs) was functionalized with pluronic F127 (PF127), and catalase (CAT)/curcumin (CUR) was co-encapsulated into these NPs. The obtained P-CUR/CAT-NPs had a hydrodynamic particle size of approximately 274.1 nm, narrow size distribution, negative zeta potential (-14.0 mV), and smooth surface morphology. Moreover, the introduction of PF127 to the surface of NPs not only facilitated their mucus penetration, but also improved their cellular uptake efficiency by the target cells (macrophages). We further found that the encapsulation of CAT could remarkably increase the release rate of CUR from NPs in the presence of an HO-rich environment. Additionally, P-CUR/CAT-NPs showed the strongest capacity to suppress the secretion of the main pro-inflammatory cytokines, in comparison with their counterparts (CUR-NPs and P-CUR-NPs). Importantly, oral administration of P-CAT/CUR-NPs showed the best therapeutic outcomes than the other NPs. Collectively, these results clearly demonstrate that these mucus-penetrating NPs loaded with CAT and CUR can be exploited as an efficient nanotherapeutic for UC therapy.

摘要

口服纳米治疗药物在溃疡性结肠炎 (UC) 治疗中的疗效受到缺乏穿透黏液能力和药物释放不受控制的严重阻碍。为了克服这些限制,将聚乳酸-共-羟基乙酸 (PLGA) 纳米粒 (NPs) 的表面用普朗尼克 F127 (PF127) 功能化,并将过氧化氢酶 (CAT)/姜黄素 (CUR) 共包封到这些 NPs 中。所得的 P-CUR/CAT-NPs 的水动力粒径约为 274.1nm,粒径分布较窄,具有负 zeta 电位 (-14.0 mV),表面形态光滑。此外,将 PF127 引入 NPs 的表面不仅促进了它们穿透黏液的能力,还提高了它们被靶细胞(巨噬细胞)摄取的效率。我们进一步发现,CAT 的包封可以显著提高 NPs 在富含 HO 环境中释放 CUR 的速率。此外,与对照物(CUR-NPs 和 P-CUR-NPs)相比,P-CUR/CAT-NPs 对主要促炎细胞因子的分泌具有最强的抑制能力。重要的是,口服给予 P-CAT/CUR-NPs 比其他 NPs 具有更好的治疗效果。总的来说,这些结果清楚地表明,这些载有 CAT 和 CUR 的穿透黏液纳米粒可被开发为 UC 治疗的有效纳米治疗药物。
