Triple-synergistic MOF-nanozyme for efficient antibacterial treatment.

ABSTRACT: The abuse of antibiotics makes bacterial infection an increasingly serious global health threat. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the ideal alternative antibacterial approach for quick and effective sterilization. Although various antibacterial strategies based on ROS have been developed, many of them are still limited by insufficient antibacterial efficiency. Here, we have developed an acid-enhanced dual-modal antibacterial strategy based on zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (ZIF8) -derived nanozyme. ZIF8, which can release Zn²⁺, is chosen as the carrier to integrate glucose oxidase (GOx) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) which can produce ROS via a cascade catalytic reaction. Thus, the bactericidal capability of ROS and Zn²⁺ have been integrated. More importantly, gluconic acid, a "by-product" of the catalytic reaction, can generate an acidic environment to promote both the ROS-producing and Zn²⁺-releasing, enhancing the overall antibacterial performance further. This triple-synergistic strategy exhibits extraordinary bactericidal ability at a low dosage of 4 μg/mL (for S. aureus) and 8 μg/mL (for E. coli), which shows a great potential of MOF-derived nanozyme for efficient bacterial eradication and diverse biomedical applications.

Project description:The application of antimicrobial peptides has emerged as an alternative therapeutic tool to encounter against multidrug resistance of different pathogenic organisms. α-Melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), an endogenous neuropeptide, is found to be efficient in eradicating infection of various kinds of Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, the chemical stability and efficient delivery of these biopharmaceuticals (i.e., α-MSH) to bacterial cells with a significant antibacterial effect remains a key challenge. To address this issue, we have developed a chitosan-cholesterol polymer using a single-step, one-pot, and simple chemical conjugation technique, where α-MSH is loaded with a significantly high amount (37.7%), and the final product is obtained as chitosan-cholesterol α-MSH polymer-drug nanoconjugates. A staphylococcal growth inhibition experiment was performed using chitosan-cholesterol α-MSH and individual controls. α-MSH and chitosan-cholesterol both show bacterial growth inhibition by a magnitude of 50 and 79%, respectively. The killing efficiency of polymer-drug nanoconjugates was very drastic, and almost no bacterial colony was observed (∼100% inhibition) after overnight incubation. Phenotypic alternation was observed in the presence of α-MSH causing changes in the cell structure and shape, indicating stress on Staphylococcus aureus. As a further consequence, vigorous cell lysis with concomitant release of the cellular material in the nearby medium was observed after treatment of chitosan-cholesterol α-MSH nanoconjugates. This vigorous lysis of the cell structure is associated with extensive aggregation of the bacterial cells evident in scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The dose-response experiment was performed with various concentrations of chitosan-cholesterol α-MSH nanoconjugates to decipher the degree of the bactericidal effect. The concentration of α-MSH as low as 1 pM also shows significant inhibition of bacterial growth (∼40% growth inhibition) of Staphylococcus aureus. Despite playing an important role in inhibiting bacterial growth, our investigation on hemolytic assay shows that chitosan-cholesterol α-MSH is significantly nontoxic at a wide range of concentrations. In a nutshell, our analysis demonstrated novel antimicrobial activity of nanoparticle-conjugated α-MSH, which could be used as future therapeutics against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and other types of bacterial cells.

Project description:Rationale: Myocardial injury triggers intense oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and cytokine release, which are essential for myocardial repair and remodeling. Excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and inflammation elimination have long been considered to reverse myocardial injuries. However, the efficacy of traditional treatments (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory drugs and natural enzymes) is still poor due to their intrinsic defects such as unfavorable pharmacokinetics and bioavailability, low biological stability, and potential side effects. Nanozyme represents a candidate to effectively modulate redox homeostasis for the treatment of ROS related inflammation diseases. Methods: We develop an integrated bimetallic nanozyme derived from metal-organic framework (MOF) to eliminate ROS and alleviate inflammation. The bimetallic nanozyme (Cu-TCPP-Mn) is synthesized by embedding manganese and copper into the porphyrin followed by sonication, which could mimic the cascade activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) to transform oxygen radicals to hydrogen peroxide, followed by the catalysis of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Enzyme kinetic analysis and oxygen-production velocities analysis were performed to evaluate the enzymatic activities of Cu-TCPP-Mn. We also established myocardial infarction (MI) and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury animal models to verify the ROS scavenging and anti-inflammation effect of Cu-TCPP-Mn. Results: As demonstrated by kinetic analysis and oxygen-production velocities analysis, Cu-TCPP-Mn nanozyme possesses good performance in both SOD- and CAT-like activities to achieve synergistic ROS scavenging effect and provide protection for myocardial injury. In both MI and I/R injury animal models, this bimetallic nanozyme represents a promising and reliable technology to protect the heart tissue from oxidative stress and inflammation-induced injury, and enables the myocardial function to recover from otherwise severe damage. Conclusions: This research provides a facile and applicable method to develop a bimetallic MOF nanozyme, which represents a promising alternative to the treatment of myocardial injuries.
