Phosphorus Dendrimers Co-deliver Fibronectin and Edaravone for Combined Ischemic Stroke Treatment via Cooperative Modulation of Microglia/Neurons and Vascular Regeneration

© 2024 Wiley‐VCH GmbH..

The development of new multi-target combination treatment strategies to tackle ischemic stroke (IS) remains to be challenging. Herein, a proof-of-concept demonstration of an advanced nanomedicine formulation composed of macrophage membrane (MM)-camouflaged phosphorous dendrimer (termed as AK137)/fibronectin (FN) nanocomplexes (NCs) loaded with antioxidant edaravone (EDV) to modulate both microglia and neurons for effective IS therapy is showcased. The created MMAK137-FN/EDV (M@A-F/E) NCs with a mean size of 260 nm possess good colloidal stability, sustained EDV release kinetics, and desired cytocompatibility. By virtue of MM decoration, the M@A-F/E NCs can cross blood-brain barrier, act on microglia to exert the anti-inflammatory (AK137 and FN) and antioxidative (FN and EDV) effects in vitro for oxidative stress alleviation, microglia M2 polarization, and reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, and act on neuron cells to be anti-apoptotic. In a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion rat model, the developed M@A-F/E NCs can exert enhanced antioxidant/anti-inflammatory/anti-apoptotic therapeutic effects to comprehensively regulate the brain microenvironment and promote vascular regeneration to collaboratively restore the blood flow after ischemia-reperfusion. The designed MM-coated NCs composed of all-active ingredients of phosphorous dendrimers, FN, and EDV that can fully regulate the brain inflammatory microenvironment may expand their application scope in other neurodegenerative diseases.
