ROS-responsive hydrogel loaded with allicin suppresses cell apoptosis for the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration in a rat model.
Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a common cause of lower back pain, and cell apoptosis plays a key role in its progression. This study explores the therapeutic potential of a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hydrogel loaded with allicin for treating IVDD.
Methods: Allicin was encapsulated in a ROS-responsive hydrogel, and its controlled release was studied in vitro. Nucleus pulposus (NP) cells were treated with hydrogen peroxide to induce apoptosis, and the effects of the hydrogel were examined using qPCR and Western blotting. An in vivo rat model of IVDD was also established to assess the efficacy of the treatment.
Results: The ROS-responsive hydrogel effectively inhibited apoptosis in NP cells by reducing ROS levels and modulating the expression of apoptotic and anti-apoptotic genes. In the rat model, the hydrogel loaded with allicin significantly reduced IVDD, preserving disc morphology and matrix integrity.
Conclusions: ROS-responsive hydrogel loaded with allicin shows potential as a therapeutic approach for IVDD by inhibiting cell apoptosis and reducing disc degeneration in vivo.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
