RESUMO

Bacteria invasion is the main factor hindering the wound-healing process. However, current antibacterial therapies inevitably face complex challenges, such as the abuse of antibiotics or severe inflammation during treatment. Here, a drug-free bioclay enzyme (Bio-Clayzyme) consisting of Fe2+-tannic acid (TA) network-coated kaolinite nanoclay and glucose oxidase (GOx) was reported to destroy harmful bacteria via bimetal antibacterial therapy. At the wound site, Bio-Clayzyme was found to enhance the generation of toxic hydroxyl radicals for sterilization via cascade catalysis of GOx and Fe2+-mediated peroxidase mimetic activity. Specifically, the acidic characteristics of the infection microenvironment accelerated the release of Al3+ from kaolinite, which further led to bacterial membrane damage and amplified the antibacterial toxicity of Fe2+. Besides, Bio-Clayzyme also performed hemostasis and anti-inflammatory functions inherited from Kaol and TA. By the combination of hemostasis and anti-inflammatory and bimetal synergistic sterilization, Bio-Clayzyme achieves efficient healing of infected wounds, providing a revolutionary approach for infectious wound regeneration.

RESUMO

The delayed healing of infected wounds can be attributed to the increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and consequent damages to vascellum and tissue, resulting in a hypoxic wound environment that further exacerbates inflammation. Current clinical treatments including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and antibiotic treatment fail to provide sustained oxygenation and drug-free resistance to infection. To propose a dynamic oxygen regulation strategy, this study develops a composite hydrogel with ROS-scavenging system and oxygen-releasing microspheres in the wound dressing. The hydrogel itself reduces cellular damage by removing ROS derived from immune cells. Simultaneously, the sustained release of oxygen from microspheres improves cell survival and migration in hypoxic environments, promoting angiogenesis and collagen regeneration. The combination of ROS scavenging and oxygenation enables the wound dressing to achieve drug-free anti-infection through activating immune modulation, inhibiting the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6, and promoting tissue regeneration in both acute and infected wounds of rat skins. Thus, the composite hydrogel dressing proposed in this work shows great potential for dynamic redox regulation of infected wounds and accelerates wound healing without drugs.

RESUMO

The current study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of geraniol nanophytosomes in accelerating the healing process of wounds infected with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a mouse model. The physicochemical properties confirmed physical properties and successful synthesis of the nanophytosomes. Wounds were induced and mice (n = 90) were treated with a base ointment (negative control group) and/or mupirocin (positive control) and also formulations prepared from geraniol (GNL), geraniol nanophytosomes (NPhs-GNL), and PVA/NPhs-GNL. Wound contraction, total bacterial count, pathological parameters and the expressions of bFGF, CD31 and COL1A were also assessed. The results showed that topical administration of mupirocin and PVA/NPhs/GNL increased wound contraction, fibroblast and epithelization and also the expressions of bFGF, CD31 and COL1A while decreased the expression of total bacterial count and edema compared with negative control mice (P = 0.001). The results also showed that PVA/NPhs-GNL and mupirocin could compete and PVA/NPhs-GNL formulation was safe. In conclusion, the prepared formulations accelerated the wound healing process by modulation in proliferative genes. Geraniol nanophytosomes loaded into PVA could improve the healing in infected full-thickness wounds healing process and can be used for the treatment of infected wounds after future clinical studies.

RESUMO

The proper functioning of host defense system (HDS) is the key to combating bacterial infection in biological organisms. However, the delicate HDS may be dysfunctional or dysregulated, resulting in persistent infection, tissue damage, or delayed wound healing. Herein, a powerful artificial "host defense system" (aHDS) is designed and constructed for treatment of bacterial infections. First, the aHDS can quickly trap the bacteria by electrostatic interactions. Next, the system can be stimulated to produce large amounts of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) and exert strong antibacterial effects, which can further regulate the immune microenvironment, leading to macrophage polarization from M0 to pro-inflammatory phenotype (M1) for synergistic bacteria killing. At the later stages, the system can exhibit excellent antioxidant enzyme-like activities to reprogram the M1 macrophage to anti-inflammatory phenotype (M2) for accelerating wound healing. This powerful aHDS can effectively combat the bacteria and avoid excessive inflammatory responses for the treatment of bacteria-infected wounds.

RESUMO

Bacterial wound infections are a serious threat due to the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Herein, we report an innovative hybrid nanozyme independent of antibiotics for antimicrobial wound healing. The hybrid nanozymes are fabricated from ultra-small Au NPs via in-situ growth on metal-organic framework (MOF)-stabilised Fe3O4 NPs (Fe3O4@MOF@Au NPs, FMA NPs). The fabricated hybrid nanozymes displayed synergistic peroxidase (POD)-like activities. It showed a remarkable level of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in the presence of a low dose of H2O2 (0.97 mM). Further, the hybrid FMA nanozymes exhibited excellent biocompatibility and favourable antibacterial effects against both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria. The animal experiments indicated that the hybrid nanozymes promoted wound repair with adequate biosafety. Thus, the well-designed hybrid nanozymes represent a potential strategy for healing bacterial wound infections, without any toxic side effects, suggesting possible applications in antimicrobial therapy.

RESUMO

Shikonin has anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing activities. Vibrio vulnificus is an important marine foodborne pathogen with a high fatality rate and rapid pathogenesis that can infect humans through ingestion and wounds. In this study, the antibacterial activity and possible antibacterial mechanism of shikonin against V. vulnificus were investigated. In addition, the ability of shikonin to control V. vulnificus infection in both pathways was assessed by artificially contaminated oysters and full-thickness excised skin-infected mice. Shikonin treatment can cause abnormal cell membrane function, as evidenced by hyperpolarization of the cell membrane, significant decreased intracellular ATP concentration (p < 0.05), significant increased intracellular reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde content (p < 0.05), decreased cell membrane integrity, and changes in cell morphology. Shikonin at 40 and 80 µg/mL reduced bacterial numbers in shikonin-contaminated oysters by 3.58 and 2.18 log colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL. Shikonin can promote wound healing in mice infected with V. vulnificus by promoting the formation of granulation tissue, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands, promoting epithelial cell regeneration and epidermal growth factor production. These findings suggest that shikonin has a strong inactivation effect on V. vulnificus and can be used in food production and wound healing to effectively control V. vulnificus and reduce the number of diseases associated with it.

RESUMO

The therapeutic efficacy of wound infections caused by bacteria is challenged by limited wound repairs and a high risk of inflammation. Microneedles have been generated for wound healing since they are able to efficiently pierce the epidermis and deliver drugs. However, regular microneedles cannot provide oriented traction to "shrink" the wound area, and most microneedles are made of inert polymers, which mainly serve as a support but rarely participate in the following physiological processes. Herein, inspired by lamprey teeth, we designed oriented antibacterial sericin microneedles with dually functionalized needles to provide penetration and directional traction. Sericin, derived from silkworm cocoons, was employed to fabricate microneedle tips, significantly improving skin repair via hair follicle regeneration and angiogenesis. Besides, zinc oxide nanoparticles were integrated as an antibacterial module, endowing the OASM with high bacterial suppression. It is believed that the synergy of these systems may effectively heal infected wounds, suggesting its clinically translational potential.

RESUMO

Bacteria infection is a significant obstacle in the clinical treatment of exposed wounds facing widespread pathogens. Herein, we report a DNA origami-based bactericide for efficient anti-infection therapy of infected wounds in vivo. In our design, abundant DNAzymes (G4/hemin) can be precisely organized on the DNA origami for controllable generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to break bacterial membranes. After the destruction of the membrane, broad-spectrum antibiotic levofloxacin (LEV, loaded in the DNA origami through interaction with DNA duplex) can be easily delivered into the bacteria for successful sterilization. With the incorporation of DNA aptamer targeting bacterial peptidoglycan, the DNA origami-based bactericide can achieve targeted and combined antibacterial therapy for efficiently promoting the healing of infected wounds. This tailored DNA origami-based nanoplatform provides a new strategy for the treatment of infectious diseases in vivo.

RESUMO

Bacterial infection can delay wound healing, causing wounds to deteriorate and even threaten the patient's life. Recently, although many composite hydrogels as wound dressing have been developed, it is still highly desired to construct photothermal hydrogels with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to accelerate the infected wound healing. In this work, a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based composite hydrogel consisting of a dopamine-substituted antimicrobial peptide (DAP) and Iron (III) ions is developed, which exhibits photothermal-assisted promotion and acceleration of healing process of bacteria-infected wounds. DAP, serving as both antimicrobial agent and ROS-scavenger, forms Schiff's base bonds with aldehyde hyaluronic acid (AHA) and iron-catechol coordination bonds to reinforce the composite hydrogel. The presence of Fe3+ can also promote covalent polymerization of dopamine, which endows the hydrogel with photothermal capacity. The in vitro and in vivo experiments prove that the composite hydrogel can effectively accelerate the infected wound healing process, including antibacterial, accelerated collagen deposition, and re-epithelization. This study suggests that the multifunctional composite hydrogel possesses remarkable potential for bacteria-infected wound healing by combining inherent antimicrobial activity, antioxidant capability, and photothermal effect.

RESUMO

Building a novel and efficient photothermal antibacterial nanoplatform is a promising strategy for precise bacterial elimination. Herein, a nanocomposite NiO NPs@AuNPs@Van (NAV) for selective MRSA removal was constructed by electrostatic self-assembly of highly photothermal magnetic NiO NPs and vancomycin (Van)-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In the presence of MRSA and under NIR irradiation, Van-mediated AuNPs can self-aggregate on MRSA surface, generating photothermal effect in situ and killing 99.6% MRSA in conjunction with magnetic NiO NPs. Additionally, the photothermal efficiency can be improved by magnetic enrichment due to the excellent magnetism of NAV, thereby enhancing the bactericidal effect at a lower experimental dose. In vitro antibacterial experiments and full-thickness skin wound healing test demonstrated that this combination therapy could effectively accelerate wound healing in MRSA-infected mice, increase collagen coverage, reduce IL-6 and TNF-α content, and upregulate VEGF expression. Biological safety experiments confirmed that NAV has good biocompatibility in vivo and in vitro. Overall, this work reveals a new type of nanocomposite with enhanced photothermal antibacterial activity as a potential nano-antibacterial agent for treating bacteria-infected wounds.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: Zataria multiflora Boiss (Lamiaceae) essential oil (ZME) is believed to be a bactericide herbal medicine and might alleviate negative effects of infection. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates the effects of an ointment prepared from ZME (ZMEO) on infected wounds. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A full-thickness excisional skin wound was surgically created in each mouse and inoculated with 5 × 107 suspension containing Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The BALB/c mice (n = 72) were divided into four groups: (1) negative control that received base ointment (NCG), (2) positive control that daily received Mupirocin® (MG), (3) therapeutic ointment containing 2% ZMEO and (4) therapeutic ointment containing 4% ZMEO, for 21 days. Wound contraction, total bacterial count, histopathological parameters, antioxidant activity, qRT-PCR analysis for expression of IL-1ß, TNF-α, VEGF, IGF-1, TGF-ß, IL-10, and FGF-2 mRNA levels were assessed on days 3, 7, and 14 following the wounding. RESULTS: Topical administration of ZMEO significantly decreased the total bacterial count and wound area and also expression of IL-1ß and TNF-α compared to the control groups (p < 0.05) in all days. This could also increase significantly the expression of TGF-ß, IL-10 IGF-1, FGF-2, and VEGF, and also angiogenesis, fibroblasts, fibrocytes, epithelialization ratio, and collagen deposition and improve antioxidant status compared to the control group (p < 0.05). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: ZMEO accelerated the healing process of infected wounds by shortening the inflammatory factors and increasing proliferative phase. Applying ZMEO only and/or in combination with chemical agents for the treatment of wound healing could be suggested.

RESUMO

Generally, oligolysine has poor antibacterial effect and almost no antibacterial activity. Herein, low cost and easily available oligolysines were chosen to prepare injectable antibacterial hydrogel (PVAL-gel) for wound healing. The hydrogel network was formed by cross-linking vanillin acrylate-N, N-dimethylacrylamide copolymer P(VA-co-DMA), oligolysine and adipate dihydrazide through Schiff base bond. The obtained hydrogel PVAL-gel exhibited not only excellent self-healing capability and injectability, but also the efficient contact antibacterial ability and good inhibitory effects on E.coli and S.aureus. In vitro, 99.9 % of pathogenic bacteria was killed within 160 min. Furthermore, the injectable PVAL-gel could rapidly eradicate bacteria in infected wounds and notably enhance the healing of full-thickness skin wounds. Therefore, PVAL-gel is expected to be used as a high-end dressing for the treatment of infected skin wounds, which can promote wound healing.

RESUMO

Bacterial infections and excessive inflammation present substantial challenges for clinical wound healing. Hydrogels with mild photothermal (PTT) effects have emerged as promising agents owing to their dual actions: positive effects on cells and negative effects on bacteria. Here, an injectable self-healing hydrogel of oxidized konjac glucomannan/arginine-modified chitosan (OKGM/CS-Arg, OC) integrated with protocatechualdehyde-@Fe (PF) nanoparticles capable of effectively absorbing near-infrared radiation is synthesized successfully. The OC/PF hydrogels exhibit excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and antioxidant activity. Moreover, in synergy with PTT, OC/PF demonstrates potent antibacterial effects while concurrently stimulating cell migration and new blood vessel formation. In methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-infected full-thickness mouse wounds, the OC/PF hydrogel displays remarkable antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities, and accelerates wound healing by regulating the wound immune microenvironment and promoting M2 macrophage polarization. Consequently, the OC/PF hydrogel represents a novel therapeutic approach for treating multidrug-resistant bacterial infections and offers a technologically advanced solution for managing infectious wounds in clinical settings.

RESUMO

Delays in infected wound healing are usually a result of bacterial infection and local inflammation, which imposes a significant and often underappreciated burden on patients and society. Current therapies for chronic wound infection generally suffer from limited drug permeability and frequent drug administration, owing to the existence of a wound biofilm that acts as a barrier restricting the entry of various antibacterial drugs. Here, we report the design of a biocompatible probiotic-based microneedle (MN) patch that can rapidly deliver beneficial bacteria to wound tissues with improved delivery efficiency. The probiotic is capable of continuously producing antimicrobial substances by metabolizing introduced glycerol, thereby facilitating infected wound healing through long-acting antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, the beneficial bacteria can remain highly viable (>80 %) inside MNs for as long as 60 days at 4 °C. In a mouse model of Staphylococcus aureus-infected wounds, a single administration of the MN patch exhibited superior antimicrobial efficiency and wound healing performance in comparison with the control groups, indicating great potential for accelerating infected wound closure. Further development of live probiotic-based MN patches may enable patients to better manage chronically infected wounds.

RESUMO

Chronic skin wounds, especially infected ones, pose a significant clinical challenge due to their increasing incidence and poor outcomes. The deteriorative microenvironment in such wounds, characterized by reduced extracellular matrix, impaired angiogenesis, insufficient neurogenesis, and persistent bacterial infection, has prompted the exploration of novel therapeutic strategies. In this study, we developed an injectable multifunctional hydrogel (GEL/BG@Cu + Mg) incorporating Gelatin-Tannic acid/ N-hydroxysuccinimide functionalized polyethylene glycol and Bioactive glass doped with copper and magnesium ions to accelerate the healing of infected wounds. The GEL/BG@Cu + Mg hydrogel composite demonstrates good biocompatibility, degradability, and rapid formation of a protective barrier to stop bleeding. Synergistic bactericidal effects are achieved through the photothermal properties of BG@Cu + Mg and sustained copper ions release, with the latter further promoting angiogenesis. Furthermore, the hydrogel enhances neurogenesis by stimulating axons and Schwann cells in the wound bed through the beneficial effects of magnesium ions. Our results demonstrate that the designed novel multifunctional hydrogel holds tremendous promise for treating infected wounds and allowing regenerative neurogenesis at the wound site, which provides a viable alternative for further improving clinical outcomes.

RESUMO

Purpose: Incorporation of luvangetin in nanoemulsions for antimicrobial and therapeutic use in infected wound healing. Patients and Methods: Luvangetin nanoemulsions were prepared by high-speed shear method and characterized based on their appearance structure, average droplet size, polydispersity index (PDI), electric potential, storage stability. Optimized formulation of luvangetin nanoemulsion by Box-Behnken design (BBD). The antimicrobial activity and antimicrobial mechanism of luvangetin nanoemulsions against common hospital pathogens, ie, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli), were investigated using luvangetin nanoemulsions. The biosafety of luvangetin nanoemulsion was evaluated through cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay experiments using human normal epidermal cells and endothelial cells. Finally, the effect of luvangetin nanoemulsion on healing of infected wounds was investigated in B6 mice. Results: Luvangetin nanoemulsion formulation consists of 2.5% sunflower seed oil, 10% emulsifier Span-20 and 7 minutes of shear time, and with good stability. Luvangetin nanoemulsion produces antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli by disrupting the structure of bacterial cell membranes. Luvangetin nanoemulsion are biologically safe for HaCat and HUVEC. Luvangetin nanoemulsion showed good therapeutic effect on MRSA infected wounds in mice. Conclusion: For the first time, developed a new formulation called luvangetin nanoemulsion, which exhibited superior antibacterial effects against Gram-positive bacteria. Luvangetin nanoemulsion has a favorable effect in promoting infected wound healing. We have combined luvangetin, which has multiple activities, with nanoemulsions to provide a new topical fungicidal formulation, and have comprehensively evaluated its effectiveness and safety, opening up new possibilities for further applications of luvangetin.

RESUMO

Bacterially infected wounds are a serious threat to patients' lives and health, and multifunctional dressings with antimicrobial properties and healing promotion are urgently needed. Thus, we used the cationic and anionic properties of chitosan (CS)-nerol (N) derivative (CSN) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) to prepare asymmetric layer-by-layer self-assembled (LBL) composite films (CSN-CMC LBL films) with antibacterial and healing properties using a spin-coating method. SEM images showed that the CSN-CMC LBL films had completely different degrees of roughness at the bottom (hydrophilic layer) and at the top (hydrophobic layer), with the roughness at the top increasing as the number of layers increased. The CSN and CMC were used to prepare asymmetric LBL films via the electrostatic attraction of -COO- and NH3+. In addition, adhesion and water contact angle tests showed that the CSN-CMC LBL films had enhanced tissue adhesion and good hydrophobicity. These materials had excellent antimicrobial activity and good biocompatibility. Importantly, the animal infection model results showed that CSN-CMC-8 LBL films effectively eliminated the infection in vivo, inhibited inflammation, promoted vascular regeneration, accelerated the epithelialization process, and achieved high quality healing. Overall, the CSN-CMC LBL films in this study showed considerable potential for application in infected wound healing.

RESUMO

The infected wounds pose one of the major threats to human health today. To address this issue, it is necessary to develop innovative wound dressings with superior antibacterial activity and other properties. Due to its potent antibacterial, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has been widely utilized. In this study, a multifunctional curdlan hydrogel loading EGCG (Cur-EGCGH3) was designed. Cur-EGCGH3 exhibited excellent physicochemical properties, good biocompatibility, hemostatic, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities. Also, ELISA data showed that Cur-EGCGH3 stimulated macrophages to secrete pro-inflammatory and pro-regenerative cytokines. Cell scratch results indicated that Cur-EGCGH3 promoted the migration of NIH3T3 and HUVECs. In vivo experiments confirmed that Cur-EGCGH3 could inhibit bacterial infection of the infected wounds, accelerate hemostasis, and promote epithelial regeneration and collagen deposition. These results demonstrated that Cur-EGCGH3 holds promise for promoting healing of the infected wounds.

RESUMO

Infected wounds pose a serious threat to public health and pose a significant challenge and financial burden worldwide. The treatment of infected wounds is now an urgent problem to be solved. Herein, mild hyperthermia-assisted hydrogels composed of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCs), oxidized dextran (Odex), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and PtNPs@PVP (CAT-like nanoenzymes) were proposed for the repair of infected wounds. The incorporation of PtNPs@PVP nanoenzymes give the hydrogels excellent photothermal property and CAT-like activity. When the temperature is maintained at 42-45 °C under 808 nm near infrared (NIR) exposure, the CMCs/Odex/EGCG/Nanoenzymes (COEN2) hydrogel demonstrated highly enhanced antibacterial ability (95.9 % in vivo), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging ratio (85.1 % in vitro) and oxygen supply (20.7 mg/L in vitro). Furthermore, this mild-heat stimulation also promoted angiogenesis in the damaged skin area. Overall, this multifunctional hydrogel with antibacterial, antioxidant, oxygen supply, hemostasis, and angiogenesis capabilities has shown great promise in the repair of infected wounds. This study establishes the paradigm of enhanced infected wound healing by mild hyperthermia-assisted H2O2 scavenging, oxygen supplemental, and photothermal antibacterial hydrogels.
