Engineered inhaled nanocatalytic therapy for ischemic cerebrovascular disease by inducing autophagy of abnormal mitochondria

Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction and subsequent accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key contributors to the pathology of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Therefore, elimination of ROS and damaged mitochondria is crucial for the effective treatment of this disease. For this purpose,...

description Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction and subsequent accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key contributors to the pathology of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Therefore, elimination of ROS and damaged mitochondria is crucial for the effective treatment of this disease. For this purpose, we designed an inhalation nanotherapeutic agent, P/D@Mn/Co3O4, to treat ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Mn/Co3O4 effectively removed excess ROS from cells, reduced acute cellular oxidative stress, and protected neural cells from apoptosis. Furthermore, it depleted the H+ surrounding mitochondria and depolarized the mitochondrial membrane potential, inducing mitophagy and eliminating abnormal mitochondria, thereby avoiding the continuous overproduction of ROS by eliminating the source of ROS regeneration. On intranasal administration, Mn/Co3O4 encapsulated by platelet membranes and 2,3-(dioxy propyl)-trimethylammonium chloride can bypass the blood–brain barrier, enter the brain through the trigeminal and olfactory pathways, and target inflammatory regions to remove ROS and damaged mitochondria from the lesion area. In rat models of stroke and vascular dementia, P/D@Mn/Co3O4 effectively inhibited the symptoms of acute and chronic cerebral ischemia by scavenging ROS and damaged mitochondria in the affected area. Our findings indicate that the nanotherapeutic agent developed in this study can be used for the effective treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
