ABSTRACT
Bacterial infections pose a global concern due to high fatality rates, particularly with the rise of drug-resistant bacteria and biofilm formation. There is an urgent need for innovative strategies to combat this issue. A study on chemodynamic therapy (CDT) using nanozymes in conjunction with photothermal therapy (PTT) has displayed potential in addressing drug-resistant bacterial infections. However, the effectiveness of this combined approach is limited by inadequate light absorption. This work suggests the NiOx nanoparticles enriched with oxygen vacancies enhance CDT and PTT to overcome this challenge. The presence of oxygen vacancies in NiOx can reduce the energy gap between its valence band and conduction band, facilitating oxygen adsorption. NiOx has exhibited notable antibacterial properties and complete eradication of biofilms in both laboratory and animal trials. In animal abscess models, NiOx demonstrated antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects in the initial stages, while also promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration by influencing immune factors and encouraging collagen deposition and neovascularization. With positive biosafety and biocompatibility profiles, the oxygen vacancy-enhanced CDT and PTT therapy proposed in this article hold promise for effective sterilization, deep biofilm removal, and treatment of infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:
This study constructs oxygen vacancies NiOx nanoparticles (NiOx NPs) to improve the efficacy of photothermal therapy and chemodynamic therapy. The presence of oxygen vacancies in NiOx NPs helps bridge the energy gap between its valence band and conduction band, facilitating oxygen adsorption and improving catalytic efficiency. In both in vivo and in vitro antibacterial experiments, NiOx NPs demonstrate effective antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, it aids in wound healing and tissue regeneration by modulating immune factors, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. This approach presents a promising collaborative strategy for utilizing nickel-based defective nanomaterials in combating deep drug-resistant bacterial infections.Palavras-chave
