Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Nanomedicine
  • Protein Engineering

Background:

  • Proteins offer biocompatibility for miniature medical devices but are challenging to stabilize in complex architectures.
  • Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in numerous diseases, necessitating targeted therapeutic strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a sophisticated strategy for constructing a multifunctional protein microparticle for medical applications.
  • To enhance protein stability, function retention, and orientation control within the microparticle.
  • To create a proof-of-concept particle capable of managing excess reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a microparticle body using albumin and superoxide dismutase (SOD).
  • Orientation-controlled surface incorporation of antibodies for cell capture.
  • Loading and controlled release of diapocynin via albumin's drug-binding capability.

Main Results:

  • The protein microparticle demonstrated coordinated ROS-coping activities.
  • Successfully captured ROS-secreting cells using surface-bound antibodies.
  • Achieved elimination of 70% of ROS secreted by captured cells via incorporated SOD.
  • Demonstrated drug release of diapocynin to inhibit intracellular ROS production.

Conclusions:

  • The developed protein microparticle exhibits enhanced stability, retained protein function, and controlled orientation.
  • The multifunctional microparticle effectively neutralizes ROS through coordinated biological activities.
  • This protein-based microparticle represents a significant advancement for intelligent, biocompatible medical devices.
