A dressing designed for point-of-care control of non-compressible hemorrhage and prevention of traumatic infections represents an urgent medical need. Here, a novel self-gelling sponge OHN@ε-pL is developed, integrating N-succinimidyl ester oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHN) and ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-pL). Upon application to the wound site, the sponge can rapidly absorb interfacial fluids and undergo a phase transition from sponge to gel. The transformed gel facilitates robust tissue adhesion and achieves synergistic hemostasis by enriching coagulation factors within the sponge phase and providing a barrier effect in the gel phase. The in vitro and in vivo studies revealed that the optimized OHN@ε-pL<sub>3</sub> sponge possesses self-gelling capability, tissue adhesion, enhanced coagulation ability, and exhibits excellent biocompatibility and antibacterial efficacy. In hemostasis, OHN@ε-pL<sub>3</sub> sponges exhibited reduced blood loss and decreased hemostatic time compared to commercial hemostatic agents, as demonstrated in rat liver, femoral vein, and tail truncation bleeding models. Furthermore, the OHN@ε-pL<sub>3</sub> sponge exhibited superior performance in accelerating wound closure and healing of <em>S. aureus</em>-infected wounds. Collectively, OHN@ε-pL sponges represent a promising candidate for medical dressings, specifically for managing uncontrollable non-compressible hemorrhage and traumatic infections.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8762,"journal":{"name":"Bioactive Materials","volume":"46 ","pages":"Pages 311-330"},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11732608/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142982582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its potential as a therapeutic target, clinical translation is impeded by the lack of a targeting delivery system and effective drug candidate that can modulate steady-state protein levels of β-catenin at post-translational level. Our study addresses these challenges by offering a new approach for OA treatment. To overcome these challenges, we introduced a novel delivery system using human serum albumin (HSA) to deliver a small molecule β-catenin inhibitor, Methyl-Sulfonyl AB (MSAB). This system is designed to enhance the bioavailability of MSAB, ensuring its accumulation inside the joint space, and facilitating the degradation of β-catenin protein. We have demonstrated that MSAB, when delivered via HSA, not only effectively inhibits cartilage damage but also ameliorates OA-related pain in an OA mouse model. We then performed proteomic analysis and biochemical studies to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of MSAB. We identified that discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2), a critical mediator in OA pathology, is a downstream molecule of β-catenin signaling and β-catenin/TCF7 directly controls DDR2 gene transcription. MSAB suppressed the DDR2 expression in chondrocytes. MSAB ameliorated OA progression and OA-associated pain through inhibition of β-catenin-DDR2 signaling. This study underscores the efficacy of MSAB/HSA in OA treatment, providing new insights into its molecular mechanism of OA. It suggests that targeted therapies with MSAB/HSA could be a new OA management strategy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8762,"journal":{"name":"Bioactive Materials","volume":"46 ","pages":"Pages 259-272"},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11732246/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142982393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
