摘要
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by synovitis and destruction of cartilage, promoted by sustained inflammation. However, current treatments remain unsatisfactory due to lacking of selective and effective strategies for alleviating inflammatory environments in RA joint. Inspired by neutrophil chemotaxis for inflammatory region, we therefore developed neutrophil-derived exosomes functionalized with sub-5 nm ultrasmall Prussian blue nanoparticles (uPB-Exo) via click chemistry, inheriting neutrophil-targeted biological molecules and owning excellent anti-inflammatory properties. uPB-Exo can selectively accumulate in activated fibroblast-like synoviocytes, subsequently neutralizing pro-inflammatory factors, scavenging reactive oxygen species, and alleviating inflammatory stress. In addition, uPB-Exo effectively targeted to inflammatory synovitis, penetrated deeply into the cartilage and real-time visualized inflamed joint through MRI system, leading to precise diagnosis of RA in vivo with high sensitivity and specificity. Particularly, uPB-Exo induced a cascade of anti-inflammatory events via Th17/Treg cell balance regulation, thereby significantly ameliorating joint damage. Therefore, nanoenzyme functionalized exosomes hold the great potential for enhanced treatment of RA in clinic.
