Abstract
Cranial radiotherapy may cause damage to normal brain tissues and induce cognitive dysfunction, so developing an effective strategy to prevent radiotherapy-induced brain injury is essential. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be used as vectors for the delivery of neuroprotective drugs due to their high drug loading capacity and low toxicity. In this study, we synthesized MIL-53(Cr) nanoparticles, which were used to deliver edaravone, and modified the surface of the nanoparticles with polyethylene glycol and Angiopep-2 (EDA@MIL-53(Cr)–P/A) to improve their oral bioavailability and ability to cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB). We confirmed that MIL-53(Cr)–P/A nanoparticles could achieve the sustained release of edaravone and enhance its ability to cross the BBB. The results of in vitro experiments showed that EDA@MIL-53(Cr)–P/A could exert radioprotective effects on HT22 and BV2 cells. We also demonstrated that EDA@MIL-53(Cr)–P/A could alleviate brain injury and cognitive dysfunction in mice receiving whole-brain irradiation. Mechanistically, EDA@MIL-53(Cr)–P/A alleviated irradiation-induced brain damage by inhibiting oxidative stress, DNA damage, apoptosis and inflammatory reactions. This study provides a new strategy for the protection against radiotherapy-induced brain injury.
期刊介绍:
Biomaterials is an international journal covering the science and clinical application of biomaterials. A biomaterial is now defined as a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. It is the aim of the journal to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the publication of original papers and authoritative review and opinion papers dealing with the most important issues facing the use of biomaterials in clinical practice. The scope of the journal covers the wide range of physical, biological and chemical sciences that underpin the design of biomaterials and the clinical disciplines in which they are used. These sciences include polymer synthesis and characterization, drug and gene vector design, the biology of the host response, immunology and toxicology and self assembly at the nanoscale. Clinical applications include the therapies of medical technology and regenerative medicine in all clinical disciplines, and diagnostic systems that reply on innovative contrast and sensing agents. The journal is relevant to areas such as cancer diagnosis and therapy, implantable devices, drug delivery systems, gene vectors, bionanotechnology and tissue engineering.
