Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated and consumed in living organism for normal metabolism. Paradoxically, the overproduction and/or mismanagement of ROS have been involved in pathogenesis and progression of various human diseases. Here, we reported a two-dimensional (2D) vanadium carbide (VC) MXene nanoenzyme (MXenzyme) that can mimic up to six naturally-occurring enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), thiol peroxidase (TPx) and haloperoxidase (HPO). Based on these enzyme-mimicking properties, the constructed 2D VC MXenzyme not only possesses high biocompatibility but also exhibits robust in vitro cytoprotection against oxidative stress. Importantly, 2D VC MXenzyme rebuilds the redox homeostasis without perturbing the endogenous antioxidant status and relieves ROS-induced damage with benign in vivo therapeutic effects, as demonstrated in both inflammation and neurodegeneration animal models. These findings open an avenue to enable the use of MXenzyme as a remedial nanoplatform to treat ROS-mediated inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.
活性氧 (ROS) 在生物体中为正常代谢而产生和消耗。矛盾的是,ROS 的过度产生和/或管理不善与各种人类疾病的发病机制和进展有关。在这里,我们报道了一种二维 (2D) 碳化钒 (VC) MXene 纳米酶 (MXenzyme),它可以模拟多达六种天然存在的酶,包括超氧化物歧化酶 (SOD)、过氧化氢酶 (CAT)、过氧化物酶 (POD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶 (GPx)、硫氧还蛋白过氧化物酶 (TPx) 和卤过氧化物酶 (HPO)。基于这些酶模拟特性,构建的 2D VC MXenzyme 不仅具有高生物相容性,而且在体外还具有强大的抗氧化应激细胞保护作用。重要的是,2D VC MXenzyme 在不干扰内源性抗氧化状态的情况下重建氧化还原稳态,并缓解 ROS 诱导的损伤,在炎症和神经退行性动物模型中均显示出良性的体内治疗效果。这些发现为将 MXenzyme 用作治疗 ROS 介导的炎症和神经退行性疾病的补救纳米平台开辟了一条途径。
