Abstract

Pancreatitis and diabetes mellitus are interconnected pathologies lacking integrated therapeutic strategies. Current insulin-based therapies risk exacerbating pancreatic inflammation, necessitating "drug-free" alternatives. Herein, we report the first dynamic covalent glycopolymersome platform engineered via reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization and macromolecular self-assembly to synergistically address both conditions. The glycopolymersomes, self-assembled from a triblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(4-acrylamidophenylboronic acid-stat-N-acryloyl glucosamine)-block-poly(aminoethyl methacrylate) [PEO-b-P(AAPBA-stat-AGA)-b-PAEMA], integrate glucose-responsive phenylboronic acid moieties for sustained blood glucose regulation and conjugated antioxidants (ferulic acid or tyrosine) for reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging. In vitro studies demonstrate reversible glucose responsiveness and potent ROS elimination. In vivo, these glycopolymersomes achieve 60 h of normoglycemia in type 1 diabetic mice and accumulate selectively in the pancreas, mitigating oxidative stress, inflammation, and edema in murine models. Overall, this work pioneers the use of dynamic covalent polymer architectures for dual metabolic regulation, offering a blueprint for insulin-free nanomedicine aimed at treating complex metabolic disorders.
具有动态共价葡萄糖调节的抗氧化糖共聚体用于胰腺炎-糖尿病的协同治疗
胰腺炎和糖尿病是相互关联的病理缺乏综合治疗策略。目前以胰岛素为基础的治疗有加剧胰腺炎症的风险,需要“无药物”替代。在此,我们报告了第一个通过可逆加成-碎片链转移(RAFT)聚合和大分子自组装来协同解决这两种情况的动态共聚物平台。由三嵌段共聚物聚(环氧乙烷)-嵌段聚(4-丙烯酰胺苯基硼酸-stat- n -丙烯酰氨基葡萄糖胺)-嵌段聚(氨基甲基丙烯酸乙酯)[PEO-b-P(AAPBA-stat-AGA)-b-PAEMA]自组装而成的糖共聚体整合了葡萄糖反应性苯硼酸部分,用于持续的血糖调节,结合了抗氧化剂(阿维酸或酪氨酸),用于清除活性氧(ROS)。体外研究证明了可逆的葡萄糖反应性和有效的ROS消除。在体内,这些糖共聚体在1型糖尿病小鼠中达到60 h的正常血糖水平,并在胰腺中选择性积累,减轻小鼠模型中的氧化应激、炎症和水肿。总的来说,这项工作开创了动态共价聚合物结构用于双重代谢调节的先驱,为治疗复杂代谢紊乱的无胰岛素纳米药物提供了蓝图。
