NIR Driven Pd/Cerium Oxide Nano-Heterojunction for Enhanced Salvaging Sepsis Induced Acute Liver Injury via Reprogramming Redox Homeostasis in Synergy with Inducing Autophagy.

ABSTRACT: Sepsis induced acute liver injury (SALI), is a type of acute and severe disease that is generally characterized by producing significant amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in liver tissue, and in response to excessive ROS, producing huge amounts of inflammatory factors by hepatocytes. Considering the crucial role of ROS in SALI, a Pd doped CeO₂ (CP) nano-heterojunction with enhanced ROS scavenging capacity is developed to act as a catalytic nanomedicine for the treatment of SALI. Combining with near infrared (NIR) irradiation, it exhibits excellent scavenging capacity of ROS including hydroxyl radical (•OH), superoxide anion (•O₂ ^-), as well as singlet oxygen (¹O₂) for CP. Significantly, it also demonstrates the excellent antioxi
