Abstract

Sepsis, a life-threating illness caused by deregulated host immune responses to infections, is characterized by overproduction of multiple reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) and excessive pyroptosis, leading to high mortality. However, there is still no approved specific molecular therapy to treat sepsis. Here we reported drug-free tea polyphenols nanoparticles (TPNs) with intrinsic broad-spectrum RONS scavenging and pyroptosis-blocking activities to treat endotoxin (LPS)-induced sepsis in mice. The RONS scavenging activities originated from the polyphenols-derived structure, while the pyroptosis blockage was achieved by inhibiting gasdermin D (GSDMD) mediating the pore formation and membrane rupture, showing multifunctionalities for sepsis therapy. Notably, TPNs suppress GSDMD by inhibiting the oligomerization of GSDMD rather than the cleavage of GSDMD, thus displaying high pyroptosis-inhibition efficiency. As a result, TPNs showed an excellent therapeutic efficacy in sepsis mice model, as evidenced by survival rate improvement, hypothermia amelioration, and the organ damage protection. Collectively, TPNs present biocompatible candidates for the treatment of sepsis.

摘要

脓毒症是一种由宿主对感染的免疫反应失调引起的危及生命的疾病,其特征是多种活性氧和氮物种(RONS)的过度产生和过度细胞焦亡,导致高死亡率。然而,目前仍然没有批准的专门针对脓毒症的分子治疗方法。在这里,我们报道了一种无药物的茶多酚纳米颗粒(TPN),它具有内在的广谱 RONS 清除和细胞焦亡阻断活性,可用于治疗小鼠内毒素(LPS)诱导的脓毒症。RONS 清除活性来源于多酚衍生的结构,而细胞焦亡阻断是通过抑制 gasdermin D(GSDMD)介导的孔形成和膜破裂来实现的,显示出对脓毒症治疗的多功能性。值得注意的是,TPN 通过抑制 GSDMD 的寡聚化而不是 GSDMD 的切割来抑制 GSDMD,从而表现出高效的细胞焦亡抑制作用。因此,TPN 在脓毒症小鼠模型中表现出优异的治疗效果,表现为存活率提高、体温改善和器官损伤保护。总之,TPN 为脓毒症的治疗提供了一种生物相容性的候选药物。
