I/R induces acute kidney injury through exacerbating the mitochondrial damage and increasing inflammatory and oxidative responses. Here, we developed the mitochondria-targeted nanocarrier to delivery of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) for renal I/R treatment in animal model. The mitochondria-targeted TPP CoQ10 nanoparticles (T-NP<sub>CoQ10</sub>) were synthesized through ABC miktoarm polymers method and characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The I/R mouse model and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (D/R) model were created to examine the role of T-NP<sub>CoQ10</sub> on renal I/R. Mitochondrial DNA damage, apoptosis, and inflammatory cytokines were measured in I/R injury mice. Plasma creatinine, urea nitrogen, tubular injury score was tested to assess the renal function. T-NP<sub>CoQ10</sub> nanoparticles could be delivered to renal mitochondria preciously and efficiently. T-NP<sub>CoQ10</sub> administration attenuated oxidative injury in both cell and animal models significantly, alleviated mtDNA damage, suppressed inflammatory and apoptotic responses, and improved renal function. The mitochondria specific CoQ10 delivery provided a precious and efficient method for protecting inflammatory and oxidative responses of I/R-induced renal damage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18212,"journal":{"name":"Materials science & engineering.

Herein, we report an anti-biofouling hydrogel with anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative properties for the treatment of irradiation-induced skin injury. The anti-biofouling hydrogel can be achieved by balancing oppositely charged alginate, hyaluronic acid (HA) and polylysine (PLL) at the optimal ratio, which effectively resist protein and bacterial adhesion, and evades immune response. Moreover, curcumin and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) can be facially encapsulated and substantially released from the hydrogel. Results showed that the resulting AHP-Cur/EGCG hydrogel can significantly weaken the development of skin injury and accelerate its healing process by alleviating inflammation, scavenging ROS and promoting angiogenesis. Therefore, the findings presented in this work provide an effective strategy for clinical management and treatment of ionizing radiation-induced skin injury.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18212,"journal":{"name":"Materials science & engineering.
