Bioenergetic-active photoluminescent bioactive Nanodressing for proangiogenic MRSA infected wound repair and microenviroment monitoring

Abstract

Multidrug-resistant bacterial infected wound repair and real-time microenvironment monitoring are still critical challenges, due to the infection-induced inflammation and poor angiogenesis capacity, as well as the complicate wound microenvironment. Herein, we report a multifunctional photoluminescent bioactive hydrogel (GMCB) with cell bioenergy-supplying and excellent antioxidant activities for achieving infection inflammation wound repair and microenvironment monitoring. GMCB was constructed through a bioenergy-supplying poly(citrate-borate) nanomicelle, antioxidant myricetin and gelatin matrix. GMCB possesses injectable, adhesive, photoluminescent and biodegradable properties, demonstrating excellent cellular biocompatibility. GMCB also shows a pH-responsive photoluminescent change based on the reversible crosslinking between borate and myricetin, which would have the potential to monitoring the pH values of wounds. GMCB significantly promotes the cell migration, upregulates the expression of angiogenesis-related genes, efficiently clears reactive oxygen species, and inhibits the expression of inflammatory factors. Importantly, GMCB could release citrate to accelerate the cellular bioenergetics by enhancing mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP levels providing energy for multiple biological activities of cells. GMCB accelerates the repair of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infected inflammatory wounds by inhibiting early-stage inflammation, promoting neovascularization and collagen deposition. This work provides a feasible strategy to design bioenergy-reinforcing and intelligent dressing for wound repair-monitoring integration.
