Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a persistent inflammatory bowel disease that poses an increasingly significant public health concern worldwide. Given the limited efficacy of current therapies, the development of novel treatment approaches has become increasingly urgent. Our previous investigation established that methyl gallate (MG) exhibits therapeutic potential for UC due to its effective anti-inflammatory properties. However, the low targeting specificity and high in vivo clearance rate of MG restrict its application. Herein, platelet membrane (PM) biomimetic MG-loaded liposome (PML) was firstly constructed to improve MG delivery and enable targeted UC therapy. Due to the PM cloaking, PML exhibited prolonged circulation time and enhanced targeting to damaged colon caused by UC. Moreover, the PM biomimetic liposome demonstrated higher uptake efficiency in inflammatory cells. In vitro and in vivo investigations consistently proved that PML exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity. Additionally, intravenous administration of PML effectively reduced disease severity in UC mouse models and promoted the intestinal tissue repair. Besides, PML showed high erythrocyte compatibility and favorable biosafety in UC mice and zebrafish. Collectively, PML achieve enhanced MG delivery and may provide a novel precision therapy strategy for UC treatment.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
