    查看更多>>摘要:Noise-induced hearing loss(NIHL)is a highly prevalent form of sensorineural hearing damage that has significant negative effects on individuals of all ages and there are no effective drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.In this study,we unveil the potential of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle assembly(SPIOCA)to reshape the dysbiosis of gut microbiota for treating NIHL.This modulation inhibits intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress responses,protecting the integrity of the intestinal barrier.Consequently,it reduces the transportation of pathogens and inflammatory factors from the bloodstream to the cochlea.Additionally,gut microbiota-modulated SPIOCA-induced metabolic reprogramming in the gut-inner ear axis mainly depends on the regulation of the sphingolipid metabolic pathway,which further contributes to the restoration of hearing function.Our study confirms the role of the microbiota-gut-inner ear axis in NIHL and provides a novel alternative for the treatment of NIHL and other microbiota dysbiosis-related diseases.

    查看更多>>摘要:Lipid nanoparticles(LNPs)have gained clinical approval as carriers for both siRNA and mRNA.Among the crucial components of LNPs,ionizable lipids play a pivotal role in determining the efficiency of RNA delivery.In this study,we synthesized a series of ionizable lipids,denoted as HTO,with a higher count of hydroxyl groups compared to SM-102.Remarkably,LNPs based on HTO 12 lipid demonstrated comparable mRNA delivery efficiency and biosafety to those based on SM-102.However,the former reduced the ratio of ionizable lipid/total lipids to mRNA in LNPs by 2.5 times compared to SM-102.The HTO 12 LNP efficiently encapsulated adenine base editor mRNA and sgRNA targeting Pcsk9,leading to substantial gene editing within the liver of mice and effective reduction of the target protein.Our study underscores that ionizable lipids with multiple hydroxyl groups may facilitate an improved lipid-to-mRNA ratio to minimize the dosage of ionizable lipids for in vivo delivery.

    查看更多>>摘要:Dural defects and subsequent complications,including cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)leakage,are common in both spine surgery and neurosurgery,and existing clinical treatments are still unsatisfactory.In this study,a tissue-adhesive and low-swelling hydrogel sealant comprising gelatin and o-phthalaldehyde(OPA)-terminated 4-armed poly(ethylene glycol)(4aPEG-OPA)is developed via the OPA/amine condensation reaction.The hydrogel shows an adhesive strength of 79.9±12.0 kPa on porcine casing and a burst pressure of208.0±38.0 cmH2O.The hydrogel exhibits a low swelling ratio at physiological conditions,avoiding nerve compression in the limited spinal and intracranial spaces.In rat and rabbit models of lumbar and cerebral dural defects,the 4aPEG-OPA/gelatin hydrogel achieves excellent performance in dural defect sealing and preventing CSF leakage.Moreover,local inflammation,epidural fibrosis and postoperative adhesion in the defect areas are markedly reduced.Thus,these findings establish the strong potential of the hydrogel sealant for the effective watertight closure of dural defects.
