A dual-pronged strategy: multi-bioactive nanoplatform synergizes ROS antidote and iron stabilization to protect against liver ischemia-reperfusion injury

JDJie DongPZPengqi ZhuCGCaifang Gao

Key Points

  • This study explores a dual-pronged strategy using a nanoplatform to protect against liver ischemia-reperfusion injury by targeting oxidative stress and iron overload.
  • In vitro experiments evaluated the efficacy of Se@MelP in scavenging ROS and stabilizing iron.
  • LIRI model used to assess the protective effects of Se@MelP via intravenous administration.
  • AMPK/Nrf2 pathway activation was measured to determine enhanced antioxidant defenses.
  • Se@MelP improved liver function and tissue injury compared to controls (exact metrics not provided).
  • Significant reduction in oxidative stress and inflammatory responses was observed.
  • Se@MelP effectively activated the AMPK/Nrf2 pathway, enhancing cellular protection mechanisms.

Abstract

, together synergistically alleviating LIRI. Se@MelP possessed excellent ROS scavenging activity, strong iron chelating capability, and favorable biosafety. In vitro experiments confirmed that Se@MelP effectively eliminated excessive ROS, alleviated Fe²⁺ overload, and mitigated mitochondrial damage, protecting cells from oxidative stress and ferroptosis. Upon intravenous administration in the LIRI model, Se@MelP markedly improved liver function, attenuated tissue injury, and mitigated oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and ferroptosis. Notably, Se@MelP activated the AMPK/Nrf2 pathway, enhancing the endogenous antioxidant defenses and anti-ferroptotic capacity, thereby conferring protection against liver injury. This multi-bioactive nanoplatform offers a promising therapeutic strategy for LIRI and other oxidative stress‑related liver diseases.
