[0002] Diabetes and its complications pose a great threat to human life and health. Among them, high blood sugar in diabetic wounds can cause severe inflammation in the wounds and make them difficult to heal. The biofilm formed by bacteria attached to the surface of injured tissues is 10 to 1000 times more resistant to antibiotics than planktonic bacteria, which brings great pain to patients with diabetic wounds. At present, it is difficult to achieve a comprehensive therapeutic effect with simple anti-inflammatory drugs. The investigation found that microneedles can destroy bacterial biofilms and effectively deliver drugs, but the current microneedles have poor intelligent responsiveness and are difficult to release drugs on demand. In addition, cells, as a complex network system composed of multiple signaling pathways, pose a huge challenge to the regulation of cell signaling pathways. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an intelligent dual-responsive microneedle to target and remove bacteria in diabetic wounds, achieve precise regulation of multiple cell signaling pathways, inhibit inflammatory responses, and provide an effective strategy for the treatment of diabetic wounds.

[0042] In diabetic wound care, Ca 2+ As an important second messenger in the body, it mainly enters the cell through ion channels to initiate signal transduction pathways, among which transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are Ca 2+ A major player in signal transduction that regulates Ca 2+ Signal transduction regulates cell physiological functions. Studies have shown that at 43°C, by activating the TRPV1 ion channel of endothelial cells, Ca 2+ The PI3K / Akt signaling pathway that is dependent on endothelial cells can inhibit the inflammatory response of endothelial cells.

[0067] Example 1
[0068] This embodiment provides a composite microneedle material (microneedle patch), which is mainly composed of three parts: photothermal conjugated polymer nanoparticles, RR-PVA material and HA. Among them, RR-PVA is used as the needle body material of the microneedle, and together with the hyaluronic acid substrate, it constitutes the microneedle patch. The photothermal conjugated polymer nanoparticles are encapsulated in the composite hydrogel to form a photothermal conjugated polymer composite microneedle.
[0069] The specific operation method of this implementation example is as follows:
[0070] (a) Dissolve 1 g of 4-(bromomethyl)phenylboronic acid in 40 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), then add 0.2 g of N,N.N',N',-tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine (TMPA), add a condenser and stir at 60°C for 24 h at a magnetic speed of 450 rpm. Pour 100 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF) into the solution after the reaction, and the product TSPBA precipitates. Collect it by suction filtration and wash it three times with 20 mL of THF to obtain a colloid. Dry the washed TSPBA in a vacuum drying oven overnight to remove the organic solvent, then add water to dissolve it, freeze it and put it in a vacuum freeze drying oven for 2 days to obtain TSPBA white powder, which is sealed and stored at -20°C.
[0071] (b) Weigh 0.1 g of TSPBA powder and add 0.9 mL of ultrapure water to prepare a 10 wt% TSPBA solution. Low concentrations are prepared by diluting high concentrations and are prepared immediately before use. Weigh 1 g of PVA (14 kDa) and add it to 9 mL of ultrapure water, stir at 60°C to prepare a 10 wt% PVA solution.
[0072] (c) 10 wt% PVA was mixed with nanoparticles in equal volumes, and then the solution was mixed with 5 wt% TSPBA solution in a volume ratio of 3:1 for standby use. The hydrogel was then transferred to a microneedle mold and debubbled under vacuum.
[0073] (d) Scrape off the bubbles on the surface of the hydrogel, centrifuge at 800 rpm for 20 min, take out and place in a drying oven to dry.
[0074] (e) When the RR-PVA hydrogel is dried to the point where the mold is almost exposed, 400 μL of 4 wt% hyaluronic acid solution is added and the drying is continued. After complete drying, the microneedles are removed to form ROS and pH dual-responsive composite microneedles.
[0075] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the pH response process of nanoparticles; the preparation process is that the polymer (DPP-BBT) and PEG-PEI self-assemble to form nanoparticles, and then assemble with CHO-PEG-CHO, and CHO and PEI form Schiff base bonds (which will break in the environment of diabetic wounds).
[0076] Take 200 μL of 25 μg / mL nanoparticle solution (water as solvent) and 200 μL of 15 μg / mL polymer solution (chloroform as solvent) and analyze the changes of characteristic peaks by UV-visible spectrophotometer. Both nanomaterials and polymers have UV absorption peaks at 880 nm ( Figure 2 ); The nanoparticle material was detected by dynamic light scattering, and the particle size of the nanoparticles was measured to be about 200nm ( Figure 3). The microneedle morphology was observed by SEM. The microneedle tips were neatly arranged and the tips were complete and sharp ( Figure 4 ). Figure 5 To observe the uniform distribution of photothermal conjugated polymer nanoparticles on the tip of the microneedle under laser confocal microscopy, it was proved that the composite microneedle was successfully prepared. Figure 6 The force-displacement curves of the microneedles within the range of 600 μm are shown, indicating that the microneedles have good mechanical properties. Figure 7 The thermal imaging of the microneedles inserted into the back of hair-removed db / db mice under 880nm laser irradiation shows that the microneedles can reach the activation temperature of TRPV1 43°C under laser irradiation without causing any damage to the mouse skin.
[0077] Example 2: Antibacterial application of composite microneedles
[0078] This embodiment is based on the fact that the photothermal conjugated polymer composite microneedle can effectively penetrate the biofilm through the microneedle head and disintegrate the bacteria inside the biofilm. The nanoparticles are released in the diabetic microenvironment, and heat is generated by near-infrared light irradiation to generate ROS. The photothermal and photodynamic combined antibacterial effects destroy the cell membrane of Staphylococcus aureus, inhibit the metabolic cycle of bacteria, and cause bacterial death.
[0079] The specific operation method of this implementation example is as follows:
[0080] (a) The nanoparticles have strong absorption at 880nm and are stimulus-responsive. The Schiff base structure on the side chain will break when entering the slightly acidic environment of the biomembrane, and a large number of amino groups on the surface of the nanoparticles will be exposed, revealing more positive charges to target the bacterial surface.
[0081] (b) The Staphylococcus aureus solution was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 3 minutes. After centrifugation, the supernatant was discarded and then washed three times with sterile water. The OD of the bacterial solution was then 600 =1.
[0082] (c) The antibacterial effect was determined by antibacterial experiments. The concentration of nanoparticles was determined to be 25 μg / mL (the solvent was ultrapure water). 100 μL of bacterial solution was mixed with equal volumes of nanoparticle solution and sterile water, and then irradiated with a near-infrared 880 nm laser for 8 min. The irradiated bacterial solution was diluted 105 times, and 10 μL of the diluted bacterial solution was spread on LB solid culture medium with a pipette. The culture was placed in a constant temperature incubator overnight, and then photographed with a gel imager and the bacteria were counted ( Figure 8 ).from Figure 8 It can be seen that under the irradiation of near-infrared 880nm laser, nanoparticle materials can effectively disinfect Staphylococcus aureus.
[0083] Example 3: Composite microneedles regulate TRPV1 ion channels and related inflammatory signaling pathways to accelerate wound healing
[0084] This embodiment is a composite microneedle material. Under the irradiation of near-infrared light, the composite microneedle generates heat to activate the TRPV1 ion channel, causing intracellular Ca 2+ Increased concentration activates Ca 2+ It depends on the PI3K / Akt signaling pathway, increases the production of intracellular NO, activates eNOS, and thus activates the eNOS / NO pathway, promoting diabetic wound healing by accelerating angiogenesis and inhibiting inflammatory response.
[0085] The specific operation method of this implementation example is as follows:
[0086] (a) The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to detect the current changes of TRPV1 ion channels in HUVEC cells to verify the regulation of ion channel function by microneedling; the operating conditions included: the patch clamp electrodes were made of borosilicate glass (Sutter Instruments, Novato, USA), drawn using a P-97 drawing instrument (Sutter Instruments, Novato, USA), and the electrode internal resistance was 3-5 MΩ. All currents were recorded by an EPC10 amplifier controlled by pulse software with a Digi LIH1600 (HEKA, Lambrecht, Germany) interface. Fig. 9 As shown, the composite microneedle material can significantly enhance the current of TRPV1 ion channel under the irradiation of near-infrared light, proving that the composite microneedle material has a good activation effect on TRPV1 ion channel.
[0087] Utilize Ca 2+ Indicators to monitor intracellular Ca 2+ The concentration change verifies the regulatory effect of microneedling on TRPV1 ion channel (the indicator is Rhod-2AM). Fig.10 As shown in the figure, under the irradiation of near-infrared light, the Ca in HUVEC cells treated with composite microneedle materials 2+ The fluorescence enhancement indicated that the microneedles activated TRPV1 ion channels and mediated the extracellular Ca 2+ A large amount of influx of proteins is achieved, thus regulating the TRPV1 ion channel-related signaling pathways.
