Stroke is a leading cause of global mortality and severe disability. However, current strategies used for treating ischemic stroke lack specific targeting capabilities, exhibit poor immune escape ability, and have limited drug release control. Herein, we developed an ROS-responsive nanocarrier for targeted delivery of the neuroprotective agent rapamycin (RAPA) to mitigate ischemic brain damage. The nanocarrier consisted of a sulfated chitosan (SCS) polymer core modified with a ROS-responsive boronic ester enveloped by a red blood cell membrane shell incorporating a stroke homing peptide. When encountering high levels of intracellular ROS in ischemic brain tissues, the release of SCS combined with RAPA from nanoparticle disintegration facilitates effective microglia polarization and, in turn, maintains blood-brain barrier integrity, reduces cerebral infarction, and promotes cerebral neurovascular remodeling in a mouse stroke model involving transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). This work offers a promising strategy to treat ischemic stroke therapy.
中风是全球死亡和严重残疾的主要原因。然而,目前用于治疗缺血性中风的策略缺乏特定的靶向能力,免疫逃逸能力差,药物释放控制有限。在这里,我们开发了一种 ROS 响应性纳米载体,用于靶向递送至神经保护剂雷帕霉素(RAPA),以减轻缺血性脑损伤。纳米载体由磺化壳聚糖(SCS)聚合物核心组成,该核心经过 ROS 响应性硼酸酯修饰,由红细胞膜壳包裹,并结合了中风归巢肽。当遇到缺血性脑组织中高水平的细胞内 ROS 时,纳米颗粒崩解释放 SCS 并与 RAPA 结合,有利于有效的小胶质细胞极化,进而维持血脑屏障的完整性,减少脑梗死,并促进涉及短暂性大脑中动脉闭塞(tMCAO)的小鼠中风模型中的脑神经血管重塑。这项工作为治疗缺血性中风提供了一种很有前途的策略。
