Oxidative stress and inflammation are pivotal factors contributing to severe neurological deficits after SCI. In this study, a type of curcumin (Cur) nanoparticle (HA-CurNPs) was developed to address this challenge by alleviating oxidative stress and inflammation. Through non-covalent interactions, curcumin (Cur) and poly (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (pEGCG) are co-encapsulated within hyaluronic acid (HA), resulting in nanoparticles termed HA-CurNPs. These nanoparticles gradually release curcumin and pEGCG at the SCI site. The released pEGCG and curcumin not only scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and prevents apoptosis, thereby improving the neuronal microenvironment, but also regulate CD74 to promote microglial polarization toward an M2 phenotype, and inhibits M1 polarization, thereby suppressing the inflammatory response and fostering neuronal regeneration. Moreover, in vivo experiments on SCI mice demonstrate that HA-CurNPs effectively protect neuronal cells and myelin, reduce glial scar formation, thereby facilitating the repair of damaged spinal cord tissues, restoring electrical signaling at the injury site, and improving motor functions. Overall, this study demonstrates that HA-CurNPs significantly reduce oxidative stress and inflammation following SCI, markedly improving motor function in SCI mice. This provides a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of SCI.</p>","PeriodicalId":16383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanobiotechnology","volume":"22 1","pages":"653"},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11515499/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142502247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have shown that nanoplastics can be transferred from mothers to offspring through the placenta and breast milk, resulting in cognitive deficits in offspring. However, the neurotoxic effects of maternal exposure on offspring and its mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, PS-NPs (50 nm) were gavaged to female rats throughout gestation and lactation to establish an offspring exposure model to study the neurotoxicity and behavioral changes caused by PS-NPs on offspring. Neonatal rat hippocampal neuronal cells were used to investigate the pathways through which NPs induce neurodevelopmental toxicity in offspring rats, using iron inhibitors, autophagy inhibitors, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scroungers, P53 inhibitors, and NCOA4 inhibitors. We found that low PS-NPs dosages can cause ferroptosis in the hippocampus of the offspring, resulting in a decline in the cognitive, learning, and memory abilities of the offspring. PS-NPs induced NOCA4-mediated ferritinophagy and promoted ferroptosis by inciting ROS production to activate P53-mediated ferritinophagy. Furthermore, the levels of the antioxidant factors glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and glutathione (GSH), responsible for ferroptosis, were reduced. In summary, this study revealed that consumption of PS-NPs during gestation and lactation can cause ferroptosis and damage the hippocampus of offspring.
