Promotes M1-polarization and diabetic wound healing using Prussian blue nanozymes

Long-term inflammation and impaired angiogenesis are the main reasons for the difficulty of diabetic wound healing. What to do to effectively promote vascular endothelial cell response and immune cell reprogramming is the key to diabetic skin healing. However, contemporary therapies cannot simultaneously coordinate the promotion of vascular endothelial cells and macrophage polarization, which leads to an increased rate of disability in patients with chronic diabetes. Therefore, we developed a method of repair composed of self-assembling Prussian blue nanoenzymes, which achieved synergistic support for the immune microenvironment, and also contributed to macrophage polarization in the tissue regeneration cycle, and enhanced vascular endothelial cell activity. The template hydrothermal synthesis PB-Zr nanoplatform was prepared and locally applied to wounds to accelerate wound healing through the synergistic effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS). PB-Zr significantly normalized the wound microenvironment, thereby inhibiting ROS production and inflammatory response, which may be because it inhibited the M1 polarization of macrophages in a rat model of wound. PB-Zr treatment significantly promoted the activity of vascular endothelial cells, which better promoted the growth and regeneration of other tissues in the body. The results confirmed the disease microenvironment of PB-Zr-mediated wound therapy and indicated its application in other inflammation-related diseases.
