Introduction The purpose of the experiment was to survey the therapeutic function of resveratrol (RES)-loaded poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(phenylalanine) (PEG-PPhe) on intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury (II/RI) via the interaction between CSE/H 2 S and iNOS/NO compared to free RES in diabetic rats. Methods Diabetic rats were pretreated with 20 mg/kg of RES or the RES/PEG-PPhe complex and then subjected to 1 h of ischemia and 3 h of reperfusion. Blood and intestines were collected, intestinal pathological injury was estimated, and the contents of body weight, weights of different tissues, blood glucose, serum insulin, HOMA index, serum nitric oxide (NO) and serum sulfureted hydrogen (H 2 S) were observed. The dry/wet intestine ratios, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD); the contents of methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), H 2 S, and NO; and the concentrations of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) were observed in the intestinal tissues. Results A significant reduction of weights of different tissues, blood glucose, pathological damage, dry/wet ratios, MDA, NO, iNOS expression and a significant increasement of body weight, serum insulin, HOMA index, SOD, GSH, H 2 S, CSE expression were observed in both treatment groups. However, a greater reduction of weights of different tissues, blood glucose (7.49–13.49 mmol/L for 72 h vs. the control) and pathological damage, iNOS expression, dry/wet ratios (6.14 ± 0.29 vs. 8.51 ± 0.42), MDA (5.01 ± 0.71 nmol vs. 9.98 ± 0.67 nmol), NO (0.52 ± 0.09 μmol vs. 0.99 ± 0.08 μmol in intestinal tissue; 19.29 ± 0.89 μmol vs. 45.23 ± 1.17 μmol in serum) was observed in the RES/PEG-PPhe group relative to the I/R ( P < 0.01 for all); a greater increasement of body weight, serum insulin, HOMA index, SOD (39.79±1.78 U vs. 11.84 ± 1.02 U), GSH (31.25 ± 1.19 mg vs. 10.13 ± 0.64 mg), H 2 S (39.52 ± 1.32 nmol vs. 13.02 ± 1.03 nmol in intestinal tissue; 9.78 ± 0.79 μmol vs. 3.11 ± 0.85 μmol in serum), CSE expression was observed in the RES/PEG-PPhe group relative to the I/R ( P < 0.01 for all). In addition, aminoguanidine (AMI, iNOS inhibitor) reduced I/R injury, and dl -propargylglycine (PAG, CSE inhibitor) increased I/R injury. Conclusions The interaction between CSE/H2S and the iNOS/NO-mediated resveratrol/poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(phenylalanine) complex alleviates intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injuries in diabetic rats.

Poor perfusion and low accumulation of drugs caused by abnormal tumor blood vessels significantly reduce the chemotherapy efficacy. Nowadays, the synergistic therapy of vascular normalization and chemotherapy has become an ideal choice to increase the tumor inhibition rate. Delivering an appropriate amount of NO around tumor vessels proved to be an effective vascular normalization strategy. In order to meet the demand for continuous and stable production of NO at the tumor site, herein, we developed a strategy to normalize tumor blood vessels by catalyzing NO generation from endogenous NO donors (RSNO). Concretely, the surface of copper-doped mesoporous silica was modified with PAA by electrostatic interactions to form CuMSN-PAA nanoparticles. The system was simple in structure and could catalyze NO production by exposing the CuMSN surface in response to a slightly acidic environment. In vivo, the NO level in the tumor increased 5.8-fold after CuMSN-PAA treatment, and blood perfusion increased by 70%, which in turn induced vascular normalization. Consequently, DOX accumulation of the CuMSN-PAA group increased 2.4-fold compared with the control group. More importantly, after the synergistic treatment of vascular normalization and chemotherapy, the anti-tumor efficacy was increased by 37.2% compared with the DOX-treated group with no overt toxicity observed.

Photothermal treatment (PTT) has emerged as a promising avenue for biofilm elimination, yet its potential drawbacks, such as local hyperpyrexia and bacterial heat resistance, have posed challenges. To address these concerns, an innovative nanoplatform (Au@mSiO 2 -arg/ICG) is devised that integrates phototherapeutic and gas therapeutic functionalities. This multifaceted nanoplatform is composed of mesoporous silica-coated Au nanorods (Au@mSiO 2 ), supplemented with l -arginine ( l -arg) and indocyanine green (ICG), and is engineered for mild temperature PTT aimed at biofilm eradication. Au@mSiO 2 -arg/ICG nanoparticles (NPs) show excellent antibacterial effects through the generation of nitric oxide (NO) gas, heat, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) under 808 nm light irradiation. The ROS generated by ICG initiates a cascade reaction with l -arg, ultimately yielding NO gas molecules. This localized release of NO not only effectively curbs the expression of heat shock proteins 70 mitigating bacterial thermoresistance, but also reduces extracellular polymeric substance allowing better penetration of the therapeutic agents. Furthermore, this nanoplatform achieves an outstanding biofilm elimination rate of over 99% in an abscess model under 808 nm light irradiation (0.8 W·cm −2 ), thereby establishing its potential as a dependable strategy for NO-enhanced mild PTT and antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in clinical settings.

Gas therapy and embolization are important treatment methods for solid tumors. In order to improve the efficacy of NO therapy and simplify the operation of interventional embolization, we designed and prepared the microacidic-gelled poly[(L-Glutamic acid- ran -L-Tyrosine)- b -L-Threonine- b -L-S-nitrosocysteine]s (PGTTSNCs, obtained by the reaction of tert-butyl nitrite with thiol side groups of poly[(L-Glutamic acid- ran -L-Tyrosine)- b -L-Threonine- b -L-Cysteines]s, PGTTCs.) for noninterventional embolization combined with NO gas therapy for solid tumors. The results of in vivo experiments indicated that PGTTSNCs from PGTTCs-6.4 (the gelled-pH value is 6.4) has significant target-accumulation and therapy effects, and at 10 days post-injection only scars were found at the tumor site. After 20 days, the tumors of model mice were completely disappeared. The method is extremely simple and efficient for solid tumors, which is not only a great innovation of tumors theranostic, but also a qualitative development in nanomaterials .

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by progressive alveolar bone resorption, and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a key factor to disease progression. Therefore, scavenging ROS to alleviate inflammation and promote bone regeneration are promising strategies to treat periodontitis. In this study, L-arginine (L-Arg) was used to modify mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG), forming L-Arg modified MBG (MBG@L-Arg), which showed effective ROS-scavenging and NO release properties in cells, and realize the protection and restoration of cell's activity in ROS-rich microenvironment. Furthermore, MBG@L-Arg can induce macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 phenotype, and promote the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells and human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). MBG@L-Arg also regulated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant systems by inhibiting the NF- κ B signaling pathway and activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Besides, NO-PKG signaling pathway was also activated, further promoting bone regeneration. The in vivo results demonstrated that MBG@L-Arg can efficiently inhibit inflammation-induced tissue destruction and promote osteogenesis regeneration. The quantitative bone loss in MBG@L-Arg group was 1.03 ± 0.05 mm, significantly lower than that of the periodontitis group (1.47 ± 0.13 mm), implying that MBG@L-Arg can work as multifunctional materials for periodontal tissue regeneration.

Although the surface acidity of CeO2 has been increased by H2SO4 to increase its acid sites, the low-temperature (<250 °C) activity of sulfated CeO2 catalysts still needs to be improved. In this study, a Pt-modified CeO2 catalyst was prepared by impregnation or reduction methods to increase its catalytic activity. The results showed the Pt-modified CeO2 catalyst significantly widened its low-temperature catalytic window. The NO conversion and N2 selectivity of the Pt1.0%/SCe-I sample were both more than 90% at 200–350 °C because of its numerous acid sites, excellent redox ability, and higher Pt2+ content. NH3, NH4+, –NH2, and bridging nitrates and monodentate nitrates on the Pt1.0%/SCe-I catalyst surface acted as the active substances. Among them, coordinated NH3 at the Lewis acid sites reacted first. This study highlights the interactions among metals, sulfates, and carriers and supplies a useful method to improve the low-temperature activity of sulfated CeO2.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and proinflammatory cytokines, which facilitate the activation of the inflammatory signaling such as NF-κB pathway and exacerbate the development of inflammation. Herein, we designed a nanodrug by encapsulating the NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) into an emulsion and coating the surface with a polydopamine (PDA) layer to yield GSNO@PDA, which simultaneously scavenged the extra ROS and suppressed NF-κB signaling for potent RA treatment. To enhance the cellular uptake and NO generation efficiency, dextran sulfate (DS) and Cu 2+ were anchored on the surface of GSNO@PDA to obtain the final formulation GSNO@PDA@DS. Our results demonstrated that GSNO@PDA@DS were successfully prepared and the modification of DS effectively boosted the cellular uptake of GSNO@PDA@DS. Moreover, GSNO@PDA@DS lowered cellular ROS and elevated intracellular NO, resulting in a decrease of M1 phenotype, inhibition of NF-κB pathway and down-regulation of proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Further in vivo studies confirmed that GSNO@PDA@DS significantly relieved symptoms and bone erosion by regulating the microenvironment of RA, highlighting the potential of GSNO@PDA@DS for RA therapy through ROS scavenging and NO-mediated suppression of inflammatory signaling.

As a versatile biomaterial, polyurethane (PU) finds extensive use in blood-contacting medical devices, including vascular grafts, central venous catheters, hemodialysis catheters, artificial heart valves, and blood oxygenators, etc. However, surface-induced thrombosis and difficulty in surface endothelialization after implantation are potential factors limiting their long-term use. In the present study, a lysozyme nanoparticle biomimetic coating (PTL) was first built on the PU surface based on the phase transition reaction of lysozyme. Subsequently, through sequential amidation reactions, heparin with anticoagulant performances and selenocystamine capable of catalyzing nitric oxide (NO) generation were immobilized onto the PTL surface, yielding a multifunctional nano-biomimetic coating with NO-generation and anticoagulant activities. The coating exhibited outstanding wettability, the ability to inhibit fibrinogen adsorption, and the capacity to catalyze NO generation from NO donors continuously. The as-prepared coating could reduce platelet adhesion, activation, and hemolysis, displaying superior anticoagulant performance. Meanwhile, the coating could promote endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and functional expression (vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and NO) while significantly impeding smooth muscle cell (SMC) adhesion and proliferation, showing a good ability to facilitate endothelialization. Additionally, in the presence of NO donors, the coating could catalyze the NO liberation from donors continuously, further enhancing the blood compatibility and facilitating EC growth selectively. As a consequence, the strategy of this study can simultaneously impart PU with excellent hemocompatibility and rapid endothelialization, providing a new way for constructing anticoagulant and endothelium-promoting nano-biomimetic coatings on PU surfaces.

LVLPGE is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide extracted from broccoli protein hydrolysates. The antihypertensive mechanism of LVLPGE was explored in the present study. The results indicated that the IC 50 value of LVLPGE was 19.49 μM, and its binding to ACE occurred via a static fluorescence quenching involving the secondary structure changes of ACE. In addition, LVLPGE competitively bound to the active site of ACE through hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, LVLPGE markedly enhanced the levels of the vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) in the Ang I-induced HUVECs model, suppressed the expression of vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 (ET-1), and increased the phosphorylation of eNOS. Moreover, LVLPGE was found to enhance the production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which leading to a subsequent decrease in intracellular calcium concentration, ultimately facilitating the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles and lowering the blood pressure. These results demonstrated that LVLPGE achieves the antihypertensive effects by inhibiting ACE activity and activating the eNOS/NO/cGMP signaling pathway. This study provides new insights into the antihypertensive mechanism of LVLPGE and contributes to the high-value utilization of broccoli resources.

In this paper, a series of Nb modified Cu-Ce-Ti mixed oxides (Nb y CCT) were synthesized using wetness impregnation method for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with ammonia (NH 3 -SCR). The activity tests indicated that Nb y CCT catalysts had shown superior SCR performances. Among which, Nb 0.05 CCT catalyst exhibited a NO conversion of more than 90% within a broad operation temperature window (180–360 °C) under the GHSV of 40,000 h −1 . After that, corresponding characterizations were performed to correlate the physical structures and surface properties to catalytic performances. These results revealed that the strong interactions among the active phases induced by Nb addition could not only enhance the redox property of the catalysts but also inhibit the over-oxidation of NH 3 , which would be beneficial to SCR performance within a wide temperature range and good reaction selectivity. Furthermore, DRIFTS results suggested that the doping of Nb could promote the formation of NO 2 , thereby enhancing the “fast” SCR reaction process (Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction pathway). Moreover, the Nb 0.05 CCT catalyst showed a better sulfur tolerance compared to Nb free catalyst that over 85% NO conversion could be retained after 12 h SCR reaction in the presence of SO 2 and H 2 O.

CeO 2 /Al 2 O 3 catalysts prepared by three methods were investigated for selective reduction of NO with NH 3 . It was found that the catalyst prepared by the single step sol–gel method had the best SCR activity and SO 2 resistance performance. From the results of BET, XRD, TPD and TPR, it can be concluded that large surface area, strong interaction, highly dispersed nano-crystalline ceria , high NH 3 adsorption capacity and good redox ability might be the main reasons for the excellent performance of CeO 2 /Al 2 O 3 catalyst prepared by the single step sol–gel method.

Background Infectious diseases caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, especially MDR Gram-negative strains, have become a global public health challenge. Multifunctional nanomaterials for controlling MDR bacterial infections via eradication of planktonic bacteria and their biofilms are of great interest.Results In this study, we developed a multifunctional platform (TG-NO-B) with single NIR laser-triggered PTT and NO release for synergistic therapy against MDR Gram-negative bacteria and their biofilms. When located at the infected sites, TG-NO-B was able to selectively bind to the surfaces of Gram-negative bacterial cells and their biofilm matrix through covalent coupling between the BA groups of TG-NO-B and the bacterial LPS units, which could greatly improve the antibacterial efficiency, and reduce side damages to ambient normal tissues. Upon single NIR laser irradiation, TG-NO-B could generate hyperthermia and simultaneously release NO, which would synergistically disrupt bacterial cell membrane, further cause leakage and damage of intracellular components, and finally induce bacteria death. On one hand, the combination of NO and PTT could largely improve the antibacterial efficiency. On the other hand, the bacterial cell membrane damage could improve the permeability and sensitivity to heat, decrease the photothermal temperature and avoid damages caused by high temperature. Moreover, TG-NO-B could be effectively utilized for synergistic therapy against the in vivo infections of MDR Gram-negative bacteria and their biofilms and accelerate wound healing as well as exhibit excellent biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo.Conclusion sOur study demonstrates that TG-NO-B can be considered as a promising alternative for treating infections caused by MDR Gram-negative bacteria and their biofilms.
