Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease. A significant challenge for the management of UC is to achieve delivery of drugs to the multi-layer colonic barriers, as existing drugs are difficult to penetrate these depths. In this study, a novel drug delivery system using yeast cell wall microparticles (YPs) are developed to co-encapsulate Bacillus subtilis (BS) and Rhein (Rh) termed Rh-YBS. This system specifically targets colonic microfold cells, enabling direct delivery of BS to the colonic submucosa. Additionally, Rh enhances BS colonization in the submucosa through floral regulation. Studies indicate that Rh-YBS can effectively reach and proliferate within the submucosa in vivo. In a DSS-induced UC mouse model, Rh-YBS stimulates the CGRP-related neural pathway; BS activation in the submucosa leads to increased CGRP secretion, prompting goblet cells to secrete mucus and thereby repairing the mucosa. Furthermore, the Rh-YBS also provide a preventive benefit against UC. In summary, Rh-YBS represents an innovative drug delivery system for mucosal repair in UC treatment, activating a unique mechanism involving the CGRP-related neural pathway.
溃疡性结肠炎(UC)是一种慢性疾病。UC治疗面临的一个重大挑战是如何将药物递送至多层结肠屏障,因为现有药物难以穿透这些深度。在本研究中,开发了一种使用酵母细胞壁微粒(YPs)的新型药物递送系统,用于共包封枯草芽孢杆菌(BS)和大黄酸(Rh),称为Rh-YBS。该系统特异性靶向结肠微褶细胞,能够将BS直接递送至结肠黏膜下层。此外,Rh通过调节菌群增强BS在黏膜下层的定植。研究表明,Rh-YBS在体内能够有效到达黏膜下层并在其中增殖。在DSS诱导的UC小鼠模型中,Rh-YBS刺激CGRP相关神经通路;黏膜下层的BS激活导致CGRP分泌增加,促使杯状细胞分泌黏液,从而修复黏膜。此外,Rh-YBS对UC也具有预防作用。总之,Rh-YBS是一种用于UC治疗中黏膜修复的创新药物递送系统,激活了一种涉及CGRP相关神经通路的独特机制。
