[0086] IV. Experimental Results

[0087] 1. Preparation and characterization of cell membrane-coated magnetoelectric nanocomposites

[0088] This embodiment synthesized a DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite material, comprising a magnetostrictive cobalt(II) ferrite CoFe2O4 (CFO) core and a piezoelectric bismuth(III) ferrite BiFeO3 (BFO) shell (CFO / BFO). The surface morphology and core-shell structure of the film-modified CFO / BFO nanocomposite material were confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Figure 1 (a) Furthermore, under an external magnetic field, EPR spectroscopy was used to detect oxide species (·OH and ·O2) generated by the CFO / BFO nanocomposite in magnetoelectrocatalysis. - Furthermore, due to the piezoelectric properties of BFO, magnetoelectric CFO / BFO nanocomposites and BFO nanoparticles can generate ·OH and ·O2 in the presence of external ultrasound. -The characteristic signal of ROS, but individual nanoparticles cannot trigger the generation of ROS. Figure 1 (be). Therefore, these findings elucidate the role of the magnetic field in inducing magnetostrictive strain in the CFO nucleus and initiating potential polarization in the BFO shell, thus confirming effective magnetoelectric conversion.

[0089] To achieve CD4 + T-cell targeting specificity was studied, using bone marrow-derived dendritic cells as the basis for research. The expression of their major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II was manipulated to interact with CD4+. + T cell receptor (TCR) binding on T cells. Mouse bone marrow cells were first isolated and induced to differentiate into dendritic cells using GM-CSF and IL-4. CD11c... + MHC II + Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) of cells and collection of cell membranes ( Figure 1 f). Then, a film-modified magnetoelectric nanocomposite material (DC@CFO / BFO) was prepared by repeatedly extruding the freshly extracted BMDC film onto the prepared CFO / BFO nanoparticles. As revealed by TEM, a transparent cell membrane layer of approximately 10 nm was observed on the surface of the film-modified CFO / BFO nanomaterials. Figure 1 (a). Dynamic light scattering experiments showed that the size of the modified DC@CFO / BFO composite material was approximately 170 nm. Figure 1 (g and h). Then, zeta potential measurements showed that the surface charge of the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite was smaller than the negative charge of the CFO / BFO nanoparticles (g and h). Figure 1 Furthermore, quantification of glycoproteins revealed that the glycoprotein content on the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite was approximately 90% of that in the free BMDC membrane, indicating that the membrane exhibited correct orientation when modified onto the nanoparticles. Figure 1 (j). As can be seen, this embodiment successfully prepared a dendritic cell membrane-modified magnetoelectric nanocomposite material, which exhibits excellent magnetic field responsiveness and magnetostrictive piezoelectric properties.

[0090] 2. Biodistribution characteristics and safety evaluation of DC film-coated magnetoelectric nanocomposites

[0091] First, standard cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and mouse initial CD4 were used. + T cell assays were performed to assess the cytotoxicity of the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite material with and without magnetic field stimulation, and it was found that the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite material exhibited good biocompatibility at concentrations below 100 μg / mL. Figure 2 (ac). In order to maintain CD4 +The high activity of T cells led to the selection of a DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite material at a concentration of 10 μg / mL for subsequent studies. Next, CD4 counts were measured. + T cell uptake of nanocomposite materials. FITC-labeled DC@CFO / BFO or CFO / BFO nanoparticles were combined with mouse naïve CD4 cells. + T cell incubation was performed, and fluorescence signals were assessed by flow cytometry. The DC membrane accelerated T cell phagocytosis of the nanocomposite, starting at approximately 2 hours and peaking at 8 hours. After 12 hours of co-incubation with mouse spleen cells, most of the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite was phagocytosed by CD4+. + T cells took up the nanoparticles, while most of the naked CFO / BFO nanoparticles were taken up by macrophages. Therefore, these data suggest that modifying CFO / BFO nanoparticles with a DC membrane increases their targeting specificity and promotes CD4 activation. + T-cell uptake.

[0092] To investigate the biodistribution characteristics of the nanocomposite material in vivo, FITC-labeled DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite material was administered intravenously to C57BL / 6 mice. In vivo imaging showed that the nanocomposite material was enriched in the liver, kidneys, lungs, and spleen, and remained in vivo for 4 days post-injection. Figure 2 (d and e). Consistent with low in vitro cytotoxicity, supplementation with high concentrations (50 mg / kg) of DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite with or without magnetic field stimulation had almost no effect on mouse hematopoietic cells 7 days after injection. Figure 2 Furthermore, the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite material had negligible effects on the functional parameters of the liver and kidneys, and no significant abnormalities were observed in the major organs through histological analysis. Therefore, the data from this embodiment validate the excellent in vivo safety of the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite material.

[0093] 3. DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites promote Th2 cell polarization and proliferation under external magnetic field.

[0094] To further investigate the role of DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites in CD4 + The role of T cell activation and differentiation, and the activation of CD4 cells with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies under various helper T cell polarization conditions. + Naïve T cells. Flow cytometry analysis showed that in T cells treated with an external magnetic field (DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite), IL4 production was enhanced while IFN-γ production was reduced, indicating that the combination of magnetoelectric nanocomposite and magnetic field promoted Th2 differentiation and inhibited Th1 differentiation. Figure 4Furthermore, in the DC@CFO / BFO group and the DC@CFO / BFO+M group, T cells produced less IL17A, and the proportion of induced Treg cells (iTreg) did not differ significantly among all groups. Figure 4 (a, d, and e).

[0095] To more accurately describe the role of magnetoelectric nanocomposites in Th2 polarization, RNA sequencing was performed in this embodiment to analyze the transcriptome of T cells with magnetoelectric nanocomposites and magnetic field treatment under Th2 differentiation conditions.

[0096] Principal component analysis (PCA) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis showed that, under magnetic field-free conditions, activated T cells exhibited similar gene expression patterns in the presence or absence of DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites. Figure 3 (a and b). However, T cells in the DC@CFO / BFO+M group were clearly distinguished from T cells without nanocomposite materials or magnetic field stimulation by their transcripts ( Figure 3 (a and b). Subsequent GO enrichment showed that, relative to naive T cells, genes associated with DNA replication, T cell differentiation, and T cell proliferation were significantly upregulated in T cells under Th2 cell polarization conditions (vector group and DC@CFO / BFO group), indicating favorable T cell polarization induction.

[0097] Subsequently, this embodiment analyzed the overall gene expression changes of T cells treated with DC@CFO / BFO in the presence or absence of a magnetic field, and found that after DC@CFO / BFO+M treatment, 898 genes were upregulated and 1703 genes were downregulated in T cells. Figure 3 (c). Consistent with previous data, the upregulated genes were enriched in "type II immune response" and "Th2 cell differentiation" compared to T cells in the DC@CFO / BFO group, reflecting the stimulatory effect of DC@CFO / BFO treatment and accompanying magnetic field stimulation on Th2 cell polarization. Figure 4 (f and g). Furthermore, the DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite promoted signaling pathways associated with T cell proliferation under magnetic field loading. Subsequent flow cytometry analysis also confirmed that CD4+ was involved under Th2 cell polarization conditions. + T cells in response to DC@CFO / BFO+M treatment underwent more cell division, as detected by CFSE dilution assay and Ki-67 staining. Figure 4 (h and i). In summary, these findings provide evidence that treatment with magnetoelectric nanocomposites combined with magnetic field stimulation promotes Th2 cell polarization induction and enhances T cell proliferation in vitro.

Serum samples were added to plates pre-coated with 10 μg / mL CII, followed by the addition of goat anti-mouse IgM, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3, and IgA.

[0106] 3. Serum inflammatory cytokine detection

[0107] Mouse serum samples were collected from CIA mice, and inflammatory cytokines were measured according to the manufacturer's instructions.

[0108] 4. Histological analysis

[0109] For histological evaluation of arthritis in mice, the hind paws and femurs were fixed with paraformaldehyde, decalcified in EDTA solution, dehydrated in graded ethanol, embedded in paraffin, and tissue sections were used for histological evaluation. H&E staining, safranin-O / fast green, and toluidine blue staining were performed to score the histopathology of the inflammatory arthritis. Images were acquired using a microscope.

[0110] 5. RNA sequencing

[0111] To investigate the role of magnetoelectric nanocomposites in T cell-mediated responses, CD4+ was incorporated into the study. +T cells were incubated with magnetoelectric nanocomposites and subjected to magnetic field treatment under Th2 differentiation conditions. Total RNA was then purified using poly-T oligonucleotide-linked magnetic beads. RNA-seq libraries were constructed using a library preparation kit and reads were sequenced on the Illumina platform. Clean data was obtained by removing reads containing adapters and poly-N molecules, as well as low-quality reads, from the raw data, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Clean reads were aligned to the Hisat2 reference genome based on gene model annotation files. Fragments per kilobase per million mapped reads (FPKM) were calculated for each gene based on gene length and the number of reads mapped to that gene. Overlap between gene sets from RNA-seq data and selected datasets in MSigDB was analyzed.

[0112] 6. Quantitative proteomics analysis

[0113] Separate CD4 + T cells were then incubated with magnetoelectric nanocomposites under Th2 differentiation conditions and magnetic field treatment. LC-MS / MS analysis was performed on 100 μg protein samples from each subject.

[0114] 7. Non-targeted metabolomics analysis

[0115] Separate CD4 + T cells were then incubated with a magnetoelectric nanocomposite material under Th2 differentiation conditions and magnetic field treatment. To extract T cell metabolites, the cell pellet was resuspended in methanol (pre-cooled to -80°C) and frozen in liquid nitrogen. These quenched cells were then thawed and vortexed. After centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred to a new tube and lyophilized under vacuum. The dried sample was then reconstituted in methanol and incubated. The sample was then centrifuged, and the supernatant was used for LC-MS / MS analysis.

[0116] 8. Statistical Analysis

[0117] Statistical analysis was performed using software. A two-tailed Student's t-test was used to analyze differences between the two groups. P < 0.05 was considered significant.

[0118] II. Experimental Results

[0119] Considering CD4 + T cells play a crucial role in regulating the host's autoimmune response. This embodiment further evaluates the anti-inflammatory effect of DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites under repeated magnetic field exposure. This embodiment explores the therapeutic application of magnetoelectric nanocomposites in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model and monitors the dynamic pathological process. Figure 5 (a). After disease onset, mice treated with DC@CFO / BFO+M showed a significant reduction in arthritis scores ( Figure 5 (b). Data shows that under external magnetic field stimulation, treatment with DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite materials reduced tissue swelling caused by local inflammation. Figure 5 (c and d). Micro-CT showed that the joint structures in the DC@CFO / BFO+M group were well preserved, and the bone mineral density around the ankle joint was restored ( Figure 5 (c and e). Subsequent histological analysis of ankle injuries showed that treatment of arthritis in mice with DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposite material under magnetic field stimulation significantly reduced the degree of synovitis and the overall extent of cartilage and bone damage (c and e). Figure 5 (c and f).

[0120] It is noteworthy that in the spleen of mice in the DC@CFO / BFO+M group ( Figure 5 g and h), draining lymph nodes (dLN) ( Figure 5 (i and j) and ankle joint ( Figure 5 In both k and l), a higher frequency of IL4 production was consistently observed, along with IFNγ. + The cell proportion was lower. As shown by flow cytometry analysis, DC@CFO / BFO treatment also slightly reduced IL17A in CIA mice. + T cells and increased FOXP3 + T cells. Furthermore, the detection of humoral anti-type 2 collagen (anti-CII) specific antibodies and serum cytokine profiles showed that DC@CFO / BFO+M inhibited the production of pathogenic anti-CII IgG and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Figure 5 (m and n).

[0121] To further verify the finding that the anti-inflammatory effect of the magnetoelectric nanocomposite material is mainly reflected in its stimulation of Th2 cell polarization, this embodiment uses the magnetoelectric nanocomposite material to treat mouse nascent CD4 cells. + T cells were stimulated with a magnetic field under Th2 differentiation conditions. Subsequently, these cells were transferred to mice after an arthritis attack. Figure 8 a). Through arthritis scores ( Figure 8 b) Gross observation and histological analysis Figure 8 Evaluation using the cf) method showed that T cells pretreated with DC@CFO / BFO nanocomposites and a magnetic field significantly reduced the incidence and severity of arthritis in CIA mice. Lower levels of anti-CII antibodies were detected in the DC@CFO / BFO+M group, indicating the inhibitory effect of the magnetoelectric nanocomposites on arthritis development. Figure 8 (g). In summary, these data thus demonstrate the anti-arthritis efficacy of magnetoelectric nanocomposites under the influence of an external magnetic field.
