The excessive accumulation of monosodium urate crystals in joints leads to the pathological condition known as gout. While conventional treatments, which include Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs, are available, their short half-life and low bioavailability limit their practical application. To overcome these limitations and leverage the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)-rich microenvironment, this study developed a novel ROS-responsive thioketal-linked hyaluronic acid-based micelle loaded with manganese oxide (HTO-MnO) for enhanced treatment. Following the synthesis of the HTO-MnO nanocomplex, the micelle was well characterized and the synthesized micelle were subjected to multiple tests to confirm their efficacy in reducing ROS. In addition, the treatment of M1-polarized macrophages showed significant responses at both the gene and protein expression levels. Eventually, analysis of the HTO-MnO nanoparticles was performed in the MSU-induced arthritis mouse model. The elevated ROS levels in the ankle joint of the mice triggered the release of MnO nanoparticles from the HTO micelles, suppressing the ROS levels and repolarizing macrophages to their M0 state, thereby effectively mitigating inflammation. This study demonstrates the potential of nanocomplex to reduce ankle swelling and intrinsic ROS levels by targeting M1 macrophages. The results highlight its precise therapeutic mechanism to alleviate inflammation and treat gouty arthritis.
关节中尿酸钠晶体的过度积累会导致一种名为痛风的病理状况。虽然有包括非甾体抗炎药在内的传统治疗方法,但它们的半衰期短且生物利用度低,限制了其实际应用。为了克服这些限制并利用富含活性氧(ROS)的微环境,本研究开发了一种新型的负载氧化锰的ROS响应性硫酮连接透明质酸基胶束(HTO-MnO)以增强治疗效果。合成HTO-MnO纳米复合物后,对该胶束进行了充分表征,并对合成的胶束进行了多项测试以确认其降低ROS的功效。此外,对M1极化巨噬细胞的处理在基因和蛋白质表达水平上均显示出显著反应。最终,在MSU诱导的关节炎小鼠模型中对HTO-MnO纳米颗粒进行了分析。小鼠踝关节中升高的ROS水平触发了MnO纳米颗粒从HTO胶束中的释放,抑制了ROS水平并使巨噬细胞重新极化至M0状态,从而有效减轻炎症。本研究证明了纳米复合物通过靶向M1巨噬细胞来减轻踝关节肿胀和降低内源性ROS水平的潜力。结果突出了其减轻炎症和治疗痛风性关节炎的精确治疗机制。
