Abstract

Cascade biocatalytic reactions involving multiple antioxidative enzymes are necessary in living cells to regulate cellular metabolism and redox homeostasis. Substantial efforts have been made to construct cascade reactions through engineered enzyme mimics to improve intracellular metabolic flux, especially under pathophysiological conditions. Here, we show that MoS nanozymes exhibit activities of four major cellular cascade antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and glutathione peroxidase. Meanwhile, MoS nanozymes attenuate electron transfer in cytochrome c/HO to ameliorate the inherent antioxidant defense system under stress conditions. Thus, MoS nanozymes function as a self-cascade platform to inhibit intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by modulating mitochondrial function and scavenging abundant ROS through their intrinsic antioxidant capacity. Density functional theory calculations reveal the underlying mechanisms of the intracellular environment-dependent catalase-like activity of MoS nanozymes. Furthermore, we find that the MoS nanozymes play a cytoprotective role in cells and significantly improve the treatment outcomes in a hepatic fibrosis mouse model. These results demonstrate the ROS-scavenging capacity of a single-component MoS nanozyme-based cascade reaction system and reveal the in-depth mechanism, which may advance the development of nanozyme-based antioxidative agents.

摘要

级联生物催化反应涉及多种抗氧化酶,是活细胞调节细胞代谢和氧化还原平衡所必需的。人们已经做出了大量努力,通过工程酶模拟物来构建级联反应,以改善细胞内代谢通量,特别是在病理生理条件下。在这里,我们表明 MoS 纳米酶表现出四种主要的细胞级联抗氧化酶的活性,包括超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶、过氧化物酶和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶。同时,MoS 纳米酶通过抑制细胞色素 c/HO 中的电子转移来减轻应激条件下固有抗氧化防御系统的压力。因此,MoS 纳米酶作为一种自我级联平台,通过调节线粒体功能和清除大量 ROS 来抑制细胞内活性氧(ROS)的产生,从而发挥作用其内在的抗氧化能力。密度泛函理论计算揭示了 MoS 纳米酶在细胞内环境中依赖于过氧化氢酶样活性的潜在机制。此外,我们发现 MoS 纳米酶在细胞中具有细胞保护作用,并显著改善了肝纤维化小鼠模型的治疗效果。这些结果表明了基于单个 MoS 纳米酶的级联反应系统的清除 ROS 能力,并揭示了其深入的机制,这可能会推动基于纳米酶的抗氧化剂的发展。
