This study developed a novel drug delivery system targeting cartilage, which includes an ROS scavenger and an inflammatory-responsive nanocarrier. It was demonstrated that the nanocarrier exhibited excellent cartilage-targeting effects and ROS scavenging capacities, effectively suppressing angiogenesis and cartilage degradation, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of OA and other inflammatory diseases characterized by oxidative stress and angiogenesis.
Osteoarthritis (OA), a common disabling joint disease, is highly associated with microenvironmental changes in the cartilage and subchondral bone. Elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cartilage and subchondral bone angiogenesis accelerate articular cartilage erosion. New cartilage-targeting drug deliv-ery systems that are aimed at preventing ROS production and angiogenesis may be of clinical significance for OA treatment. Herein, an ROS scavenger and an inflammatory-responsive nanocarrier are designed by immobilizing the natural polyphenol (curcumin) in chitosan-catechol nanoformulations (Cur-CS-C NPs) via boronate ester. The robust cartilage-targeting effects and ROS scavenging capacities of Cur-CS-C NPs were respectively determined in cartilage explants and chondrocytes. Intra-articular injection of Cur-CS-C NPs in OA rat models efficiently suppressed angiogenesis and cartilage degradation partially via the ROS-mediated NF-Kappa B/PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. The developed curcumin-functionalized nanocarriers can significantly delay OA progression and provide a promising therapeutic strategy for other inflamma-tory diseases that are characterized by oxidative stress and angiogenesis.(c) 2022 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The editorial office of Journal of Materials Science & Technology.
