A living neutrophil Biorobot synergistically blocks multifaceted inflammatory pathways in macrophages to effectively neutralize cytokine storm.

ABSTRACT: Cytokine storm is a potentially life-threatening immune response typically correlated with lung injury, particularly in people with underlying disease states, such as pneumonia. Therefore, the prompt treatment of cytokine storm is essential for successful recovery from a potentially fatal condition. Herein, a living anti-inflammatory Biorobot (firefighter), composed of neutrophils encapsulating mannose-decorated liposomes of the NF-κB inhibitor TPCA-1 and STING inhibitor H-151 (M-Lip@TH, inflammatory retardant), is developed for alleviating hyperinflammatory cytokine storm through targeting multiple inflammatory pathways in macrophages. Biorobot fully inherits the chemotaxis characteristics of neutrophils, and efficiently delivers and releases therapeutic M-Lip@TH at the inflammatory site.
