Neutrophil membrane-coated and MMP2-responsive nanoparticles deliver PIM1 inhibitor to alleviate inflammatory arthritis through inhibiting Th17 cell differentiation

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of neutrophil membrane-coated nanoparticles in delivering a PIM1 inhibitor to treat inflammatory arthritis.
Developed MMP2-responsive nanoparticles (NM@MRP-NP) for targeted drug delivery.
Evaluated the structural stability and biological efficacy of NM@MRP-NP.
Investigated the effects of PIM1 inhibitor on Th17 cell differentiation in inflammatory arthritis models.
NM@MRP-NP demonstrated efficient drug delivery to targeted inflammatory sites.
The treatment significantly inhibited Th17 cell differentiation, which is linked to inflammation in arthritis.
Findings suggest potential for improved therapies for inflammatory arthritis through targeted nanomedicine.

Abstract

These results suggested that NM@MRP-NP was a structurally defined, biologically stable, inflammatory-targeted and conditionally releasing nanotherapeutic system with efficient drug delivery, which could provide new insight into the targeted interventions for IA.
