Atherosclerosis, a typical cardiovascular disease, is closely related to oxidative stress and inflammation. A theranostic agent based on PMPB loaded with Sim was found to effectively regulate the process of atherosclerosis and exhibit high biocompatibility.
BackgroundAs one typical cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis severely endanger people' life and cause burden to people health and mentality. It has been extensively accepted that oxidative stress and inflammation closely correlate with the evolution of atherosclerotic plaques, and they directly participate in all stages of atherosclerosis. Regarding this, anti-oxidation or anti-inflammation drugs were developed to enable anti-oxidative therapy and anti-inflammation therapy against atherosclerosis. However, current drugs failed to meet clinical demands.MethodsNanomedicine and nanotechnology hold great potential in addressing the issue. In this report, we engineered a simvastatin (Sim)-loaded theranostic agent based on porous manganese-substituted prussian blue (PMPB) analogues. The biomimetic PMPB carrier could scavenge ROS and mitigate inflammation in vitro and in vivo. Especially after combining with Sim, the composite Sim@PMPB NC was expected to regulate the processes of atherosclerosis. As well, Mn2+ release from PMPB was expected to enhance MRI.ResultsThe composite Sim@PMPB NC performed the best in regulating the hallmarks of atherosclerosis with above twofold decreases, typically such as oxidative stress, macrophage infiltration, plaque density, LDL internalization, fibrous cap thickness and foam cell birth, etc. Moreover, H2O2-induced Mn2+ release from PMPB NC in atherosclerotic inflammation could enhance MRI for visualizing plaques. Moreover, Sim@PMPB exhibited high biocompatibility according to references and experimental results.ConclusionsThe biomimetic Sim@PMPB theranostic agent successfully stabilized atherosclerotic plaques and alleviated atherosclerosis, and also localized and magnified atherosclerosis, which enabled the monitoring of H2O2-associated atherosclerosis evolution after treatment. As well, Sim@PMPB was biocompatible, thus holding great potential in clinical translation for treating atherosclerosis.
