Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease associated with synovitis and cartilage destruction. Ultrasound (US)-driven sonodynamic therapy (SDT) possess a good application prospect in RA therapy because of its non-invasiveness and strong tissue penetration capabilities, which can kill activated synovial inflammatory cells. Nevertheless, the tiny accumulation of sonosensitizers in the joints and the hypoxic synovial microenvironment severely limit the therapeutic effect of SDT. Hence, we developed a sonosensitizer spafloxacin (SPX) doped and human serum albumin (HSA) loaded concave-cubic rhodium (Rh) nanozyme (Rh/SPX-HSA) to realize mutual-reinforcing SDT during ultrasonic activation. On the one hand, SPX would cause mitochondrial dysfunction by inducing excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, thus suppressing fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS) under US conditions. On the other hand, concave-cubic rhodium was utilized as a nanozyme with endogenous peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT)-like enzyme activities, which not only relieved the hypoxia of the joint to resist angiogenesis, but also enormously ascended the SDT efficacy by rising O levels. Interestingly, the activity of nanozymes was also improved by the ultrasonic cavitation effect, thereby realizing mutual-reinforcing SDT. Overall, our strategy provided Rh-based to achieve effective SDT under hypoxic microenvironment, which offered a promising prospect for highly efficient treatment of RA.
类风湿关节炎(RA)是一种与滑膜炎和软骨破坏有关的自身免疫性疾病。超声(US)驱动的声动力学疗法(SDT)因其非侵入性和较强的组织穿透能力,在 RA 治疗中具有良好的应用前景,可杀死激活的滑膜炎性细胞。然而,声敏剂在关节中的微小积累和缺氧的滑膜微环境严重限制了 SDT 的治疗效果。因此,我们开发了一种声敏剂 spafloxacin(SPX)掺杂和人血清白蛋白(HSA)负载凹立方铑(Rh)纳米酶(Rh/SPX-HSA),以实现在超声激活过程中的相互增强 SDT。一方面,SPX 通过诱导过量的活性氧(ROS)产生引起线粒体功能障碍,从而在 US 条件下抑制成纤维样滑膜细胞(FLS)。另一方面,凹立方铑被用作具有内源性过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)样酶活性的纳米酶,不仅缓解了关节缺氧以抵抗血管生成,而且通过提高 O 水平极大地提高了 SDT 疗效。有趣的是,纳米酶的活性也通过超声空化效应得到了提高,从而实现了相互增强的 SDT。总的来说,我们的策略提供了基于 Rh 的方法,以在缺氧微环境下实现有效的 SDT,为高效治疗 RA 提供了有前景的前景。
