Infection responsive bio-nanoparticles as "molecular sprayer " for infection-repair integration via direct sterilization and macrophage polarization regulation.

ABSTRACT: Bone tissue destruction and related complications caused by bacterial infection remain a major challenge in clinical treatment. Existing therapies generally fail to balance the process of infection control and tissue repair simultaneously. In this study, infection microenvironmental-responsive multifunctional "molecular sprayer" nanocomposites (NP@D/AMP) were developed by loading 2-(1, 8-naphthidine -2-yl) phenol (2-NP) onto dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs), then encapsulating GW18 with polydopamine for sealing, which achieved the integrated functions of antibacteria, immune regulation and promoting bone formation. NP@D/AMP can sequentially release GW18 and 2-NP under the acidic microenvironment at the infectious site, where GW18 shows strong antibacterial and biofilm inhi
