National Nanoscience Center Adv. Mater.: A "live in situ reassembly" treatment strategy for bacterial infections

【introduction】

Nanomaterials and nanotechnology have received the attention of the scientific community in recent years, and their applications in various fields are becoming more and more extensive. Due to the special size effect of nanomaterials, the application of nanoparticles, nanotubes and various nanotechnology in biomedicine is booming and full of momentum. To date, many nanosystems have been developed as antibiotic alternatives for the treatment of bacterial infections. However, these advanced systems are limited due to their non-target aggregation and subsequent side effects.

[Introduction]

Recently, Dr. Wang Hao from the National Nanoscience Center and Associate Research Fellow Qiao Zengying (co-author) and others demonstrated pathologically-driven self-assembled nanostructures, which showed super accumulation at the target position due to the assembly-induced retention (AIR) effect. Retention ability. Inspired by this effect, this paper discusses a new antibacterial strategy—the “in-situ reassembly” strategy. With the aid of enzymes, the antibacterial active nanoparticles transform from spherical to fibrous structures, thus simultaneously in the bacterial infection site. Achieve long-term accumulation and enhance the efficacy of antibacterial. Related results were published in Adv. entitled "An "On-Site Transformation" Strategy for Treatment of Bacterial Infection". Mater. on.

a) i) self-assembly of CPC into nanoparticles containing PEG shell; ii) cleavage of degradable peptide in the presence of gelatinase to strip the protective shell; iii) destruction of hydrophobic/hydrophilic equilibrium leading to chitosan Hydrogen bond interaction of the chain, spontaneously promotes self-assembly and reorganization of the fiber structure;

b) i) In the infective microenvironment, the CPC nanoparticles accumulated at the site of infection are cleaved by gelatinase produced by gelatinase-positive bacteria, causing in situ morphological transformation; ii) fibrous nanostructures are in situ in infected tissue Produced to allow nanomaterials to accumulate and their retention time to be extended; iii) Nanofibers with exposed antimicrobial peptides exhibit high antibacterial ability.

【summary】

Researcher Wang Hao et al. developed a CPCs containing gelatinase cleavage EPEG and antibacterial peptide KLAK, which self-assembled into nanoparticles during the reaction. The recombination of CPC-1 significantly improved the interaction between nanomaterials and bacteria through a multi-site synergistic electrostatic binding model between exposed KLAK and bacterial membranes, and the antibacterial efficacy was significantly enhanced. Compared to the invariant CPC-2, the transformable CPC-1 has a longer retention time and better in vivo antibacterial properties.
