Glucose activated synergistic cascade therapy of diabetic wound by platinum and glucose oxidase decorated camelina lipid droplets

Hyperglycemia provides a favorable breeding ground for bacteria, resulting in repeated and persistent inflammation of wounds and prolonged healing processes. In this study, platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (NPs) and glucose oxidase (GOx) were decorated on the surface of camelina lipid droplets (OB) linked with hFGF2, forming PGOB through in situ reduction of Pt ions and electrostatic adsorption, respectively. PGOB exhibits cascade enzyme catalytic activity, which can be activated by glucose in diabetic wound tissues. Specifically, GOx on PGOB catalyzes glucose into hydrogen peroxide, which can further decompose into hydroxyl radicals that have higher toxicity for bacterial inactivation. Additionally, glucose decomposition creates a low pH microenvironment, facilitating the cascade catalytic activity that ensures better bacterial suppression within the wound tissues. Furthermore, hFGF2 promotes the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirm that PGOB effectively accelerates wound healing processes through bacteria inactivation and tissue regeneration. This study has developed an alternative strategy for glucose-triggered synergistic cascade therapy for diabetic wounds.
