Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nanoenzyme materials technology, and relates to a silver single-atom doped carbon quantum dot nanoenzyme, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemical substances formed during incomplete oxidation-reduction processes, mainly including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion (O3). 2- Oxidative oxygen species (ROS) include singlet oxygen (O2) and hydroxyl radicals (OH). In the human system, ROS influence various physiological activities and play a crucial role in diverse life processes. ROS are important secondary messengers in cell signaling pathways, mitosis, cell proliferation / migration / differentiation, and the body's resistance to pathogen invasion. However, high levels of ROS can easily cause lipid peroxidation, protein denaturation, DNA damage, and oxidative damage to other biomolecules, thus having harmful effects on cells and tissues. ROS-induced oxidative stress refers to the imbalance between oxidation and antioxidation in the body and is an important indicator of aging and disease. Excessive ROS production can trigger cell damage, inflammatory responses, and tissue fibrosis.
[0003] Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical illness characterized by a rapid deterioration of kidney function. It is characterized by the sudden loss of renal excretory function in previously healthy individuals and can lead to long-term, severe kidney damage if not treated promptly. Oxidative stress is one of the core pathological mechanisms of AKI. Therefore, efficient clearance of ROS from AKI cells is a primary means of treating acute kidney injury caused by oxidative stress.
[0004] Nanozymes, as novel functional nanomaterials possessing natural enzyme activity, offer advantages such as high catalytic efficiency, stable activity, tunable activity (adjustable through size and surface modification), and large-scale preparation, leading to their widespread application in biosensing, biomedicine, food safety, and environmental engineering. Recent studies have discovered that silver atoms or nanoclusters also exhibit enzyme-like activities, such as POD and SOD-like activities, offering potential for their translational applications in medicine. However, research on silver atom nanozymes in the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases, particularly AKI, has not been systematically reported and remains in a gap. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a silver single-atom-doped carbon quantum dot nanozyme for efficient ROS removal in AKI cells and its preparation method.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] The first aspect of this invention is to provide a method for preparing silver single-atom-doped carbon quantum dot nanozymes, comprising the following steps:
[0008] (1) Synthesis of nitrogen-doped carbon dots
[0009] Anhydrous citric acid and urea were dissolved in formic acid and mixed evenly. The solution was then transferred to a polytetrafluoroethylene reactor for reaction. After the reaction, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, and an equal amount of ethanol was added and allowed to stand overnight. The mixture was then centrifuged, and the precipitate obtained after centrifugation was freeze-dried to obtain nitrogen-doped carbon dots.
[0010] (2) Synthesis of silver single-atom nanozymes
[0011] The synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon dots were dissolved in deionized water, mixed well, and the pH was adjusted. Then, a solution containing silver ions was added dropwise while stirring. After stirring evenly, trisodium citrate and sodium borohydride were added in sequence and mixed. After oil bath reaction, dialysis, and freeze-drying, silver single-atom nanozymes were obtained.
[0012] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes step (3), in which carboxylated triphenylphosphine, N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC) are added to DMSO for reaction, and then the silver single-atom nanozyme prepared in step (2) is added to the system for reaction. After dialysis and freeze-drying, silver single-atom nanozyme powder with triphenylphosphine linkage is obtained.
[0013] In one alternative embodiment, in step (1), the mass ratio of anhydrous citric acid to urea is 1:2.
[0014] In one optional embodiment, in step (1), the reaction conditions in the reactor are: temperature 150-180°C, time 2-6h.
[0015] In an optional embodiment, in step (2), the nitrogen-doped carbon dot solution: silver ion solution = (0.15~0.35) mg / mL: 1 mM.
[0016] In an alternative embodiment, in step (2), the ratio of trisodium citrate to sodium borohydride is 7 mM to 5 mM.
[0017] In an optional embodiment, in step (2), the conditions for the oil bath reaction are: temperature 60-80°C, time 4-6h; and the conditions for dialysis are: molecular weight cutoff 450-550 Da, time 48-96h.
[0018] In an optional embodiment, the carboxylated triphenylphosphine: N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS): 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC): silver single-atom nanozyme = 2.7 mg: 1.35 mg: 1.35 mg: 1 mg.
[0019] A second aspect of the present invention is to provide a silver single-atom-doped carbon quantum dot nanozyme, which is prepared according to the preparation method described above.
[0020] A third aspect of the present invention is to provide a silver single-atom-doped carbon quantum dot nanozyme as an antioxidant enzyme mimic in the preparation of drugs for treating cellular oxidative stress damage.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] The silver single-atom nanozyme provided by this invention uses nitrogen-doped carbon dots as a carrier, on which silver atoms are loaded and linked to triphenylphosphine. This nanoformulation exhibits good dispersibility, small particle size, and fluorescence properties, enabling highly efficient targeted delivery to mitochondria in renal tubular epithelial cells. This invention improves the precision of kidney injury treatment by combining active targeting of mitochondria with scale-driven passive targeting of the kidney by triphenylphosphine. Red light imaging using carbon dots avoids biological autofluorescence, improving imaging contrast and sensitivity. Silver-triggered chemodynamic therapy specifically reduces intracellular superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide, synergistically targeting mitochondria to clear ROS, enhancing therapeutic efficacy. The organic combination of active targeting, red light imaging, and synergistic therapy can significantly improve the therapeutic effect on kidney injury. Attached Figure Description

[0072] Test case
[0073] I. Microscopic Morphological Characterization
[0074] The nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) and silver single-atom nanozymes (Ag) synthesized in Example 1 were used in the experiment. SA After diluting the CDs to an appropriate concentration, 10 μL of each sample was dropped onto a copper grid. After evaporating the moisture, the grid containing the sample was placed inside the TEM machine, and its microstructure was observed. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.
[0075] Depend on Figure 1It can be seen that nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) have good dispersibility, exhibiting monodispersity with a particle size of approximately 5 nm; silver single-atom nanozymes (Ag) also show good dispersibility. SA The -CDs exhibit good dispersion properties, with spherical particles and a particle size of approximately 5 nm, indicating that silver is doped into the carbon dots in the form of atomic-level metal clusters.
[0076] II. Characterization by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)
[0077] The nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) and silver single-atom nanozymes (Ag) synthesized in Example 1 were used in the experiment. SA -CDs) were used as samples for XPS analysis.
[0078] The samples were subjected to full-spectrum and fine-spectrum analysis using an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (Thermo Scientific K-Alpha, USA) source of Al Kα (1486.6 eV), calibrated using 284.8 eV of adsorbed carbon C1s as a standard. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. In Figure 2 In the figure, a represents N-CDs and Ag. SA Figure 1 shows the XPS full spectrum of CDs; Figure 2 shows the peak division of the C1s peak; Figure 3 shows the peak division of the N1s peak; Figure 4 shows the peak division of the O1s peak; Figure 5 shows the detailed division of the Ag3d peak.
[0079] Depend on Figure 2 As can be seen from a, the XPS full spectrum of N-CDs mainly contains three elements: C, NO, and Ag. SA The Ag3d peaks of the N-CDs indicate the presence of Ag in the carbon dots (N-CDs), demonstrating successful Ag loading onto the carbon dots. The Ag3d peaks are further subdivided as follows: Figure 2 As shown in e. From Figure 2 From b, we can see that the C1s peak mainly has three sub-peaks: C=O / COOH, CO / CN, and CC / C=C; from Figure 2 As can be seen from c, the =NH and N-(C)3 peaks of N1s are gradually translated into Ag-N peaks after silver doping; from Figure 2 As can be seen from d, the O1s peak is mainly composed of two peaks: CO / OH and C=O.
[0080] III. Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Characterization
[0081] The nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) and silver single-atom nanozymes (Ag) synthesized in Example 1 were used in the experiment. SA -CDs) were used as samples for FTIR analysis. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0082] from Figure 3As can be seen from this, compared with undoped Ag N-CDs, Ag SA -CDs appeared / enhanced in the low wavenumber region by approximately 800 cm⁻¹ -1 The absorption peak is approximately 800 cm⁻¹. -1 The absorption peaks provide evidence of coordination between silver and nitrogen-containing sites (such as pyridine / amide N) on the surface of carbon dots, further indicating that silver acts as an atom / site anchored on the surface of carbon dots.
[0083] IV. X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization
[0084] X-ray powder diffraction was used to determine the nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) and silver single-atom nanozymes (Ag) synthesized in Example 1. SA XRD patterns of CDs. Results are as follows. Figure 4 As shown.
[0085] Figure 4 XRD results confirmed that Ag SA -CDs simultaneously exhibit characteristic diffraction patterns of both the carbon matrix and elemental silver. The broadened peak of the carbon phase is located at 2θ≈23.8°, consistent with PDF card 04-007-8496 (graphitized carbon); while sharp diffraction peaks appear at 38.2°, 44.4°, and 64.6°, corresponding to the (111), (200), and (220) crystal planes of face-centered cubic silver, respectively, perfectly consistent with PDF 04-006-6516. The multi-peak structure with both broad and sharp peaks not only indicates the amorphous / graphitized coexistence of the carbon dot framework, but also confirms that silver is uniformly embedded in the carbon matrix in the form of highly crystalline single atoms / nanoclusters, providing a structural basis for subsequent catalysis and fluorescence enhancement.

[0091] Effect verification example
[0092] The following tests were all conducted using N-CDs and Ag prepared in Example 1. SA -CDs, T-Ag SA -CDs were used as test samples.
[0093] I. Antioxidant Activity Test
[0094] (I) As a SOD mimicry for superoxide anion (O2) ·- ) clearing ability
[0095] Superoxide dismutase (SOD) can catalyze O2 ·- SOD mimics are considered potential therapeutic agents against oxidative stress-related diseases because they can be disproportionated into O2 and H2O2 and finely regulate intracellular ROS levels.
[0096] Ag was assessed using the classic xanthine-xanthine oxidase (XOD)-WST-1 system. SA -CDs and N-CDs, as SOD mimics, demonstrate the scavenging ability of superoxide anions. The principle of the WST-1 method is that WST-1 can react with the superoxide anion (O2) produced by xanthine oxidase catalyzing xanthine. ·- The reaction produces water-soluble formazan dye absorbed at 440 nm. Since SOD can catalyze the disproportionation of superoxide anions, this reaction step can be inhibited by SOD. Therefore, the activity of SOD is negatively correlated with the amount of formazan dye produced. Thus, the enzyme activity of SOD can be calculated by colorimetric analysis of the WST-1 product.
[0097] The experiment was conducted using a superoxide dismutase (SOD) assay kit. Test samples were diluted with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to concentration gradients of 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 g / mL, with three replicates for each concentration. Following the kit instructions, samples were incubated at 37°C for 20 minutes, and absorbance was immediately measured at 450 nm. The SOD inhibition rate was calculated using a formula and converted to activity units (U / mL). Results are shown below. Figure 7 As shown in Figure a.
[0098] Depend on Figure 7 As can be seen from this, with the increase of Ag-CDs mimicry concentration, its inhibition rate also increases, approaching 100%, meaning that the SOD mimicry has a significant effect on O2 inhibition. ·-The inhibition effect of WST-1 reduction became increasingly significant, and the amount of formazan produced decreased significantly; while the inhibition rate of N-CDs mimics was half that of Ag-CDs mimics, indicating that Ag-CDs have superior antioxidant activity compared to N-CDs.
[0099] (ii) Catalytic ability of GPx simulants for H2O2
[0100] Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) belongs to the peroxidase family. It can convert H2O2 into H2O with the help of the reducing equivalent provided by the intracellular tripeptide glutathione (GSH), while oxidizing GSH to GSSG. Subsequently, glutathione reductase (GR) uses NADPH to reduce GSSG back to GSH, completing the cycle.
[0101] The experiment was performed using a total glutathione peroxidase assay kit. The test samples were diluted with PBS (pH 7.4) to a concentration of 10 μg / mL. -1 Three replicate wells were then set up. The reaction system was prepared at 37°C according to the kit instructions. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader was used in kinetic mode to monitor the absorbance at 340 nm every 40 seconds. The real-time decrease in NADPH absorbance at 340 nm was used to monitor Ag. SA The GPx-like activity of -CDs and N-CDs was continuously monitored for 14 minutes. Results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown in b, the absorbance of the N-CDs group remained almost unchanged, indicating that it lacked significant GPx simulation function; while the absorbance of the Ag-CDs group NADPH decreased rapidly, indicating that it had efficient GPx-like catalytic ability.
[0102] (III) Clear ABTS + The ability of free radicals
[0103] The ABTS method is a general indirect method for determining free radical scavenging ability, and it can simultaneously evaluate the antioxidant capacity of both hydrophilic and lipophilic substances. ABTS reacts with an oxidizing agent to generate a stable green free radical cation, ABTS· + It exhibits characteristic absorption at 734 nm or 405 nm; in the presence of antioxidants, ABTS· + The generation of [something] is suppressed, and the system fades.
[0104] Mix 7 mM ABTS with 2.45 mM potassium persulfate (K₂S₂O₈) at a ratio of 1:1 (v / v). Let the mixture stand at room temperature in the dark for 12 hours to generate ABTS· +Stock solution. Before use, dilute the stock solution with PBS (pH 7.4) to achieve an absorbance of 0.70 ± 0.02 at 734 nm. In a 96-well plate, add 20 μL of sample solution at different concentrations (2.5 μg / mL, 5 μg / mL, 7.5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, 12.5 μg / mL, 15 μg / mL, 17.5 μg / mL, 20 μg / mL) and 180 μL of PBS to each well sequentially. + After thoroughly mixing the working solution, incubate in the dark for 30 minutes, and immediately measure the absorbance at 734 nm. Each sample was tested three times, with PBS used as a blank control. The clearance rate was calculated using the following formula:
[0105] Clearance rate (%) = [(A(blank) - A(sample)) / A(blank)] × 100
[0106] The results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3).
[0107] The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown in c, Ag SA -CDs in 15 μg mL -1 At concentrations of ABTS and above, + The clearance rate is over 90%.
[0108] Ag was determined by the DTNB method. SA - The GSH elimination ability of CDs at different time periods. For example... Figure 7 As shown in d, the GSH content gradually decreases over time; GR can reduce GSSG to GSH, and GSH reacts with the chromogenic substrate DTNB to generate yellow TNB and GSSG. The degree of decrease in the absorbance of TNB at 412nm is proportional to the amount of free radical scavenging.
[0109] (iv) Ability to scavenge DPPH free radicals
[0110] DPPH radicals are deep purple with a maximum absorption wavelength of 515 nm. When they encounter antioxidants, their lone pairs of electrons are removed, the solution color lightens, and the absorbance decreases. By monitoring the change in absorbance at 515 nm, the ability of a sample to scavenge DPPH radicals can be quantitatively evaluated.
[0111] Weigh out DPPH reagent and dissolve it in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a 0.1 mM working solution. Add different concentrations of sample solution (2.5 μg / mL, 5 μg / mL, 7.5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, 12.5 μg / mL, 15 μg / mL, 17.5 μg / mL, 20 μg / mL) and 180 μL of DPPH working solution sequentially to a 96-well plate. Mix immediately and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes. Measure the absorbance at 517 nm (sample group). Set up an equal volume of PBS as a blank control (blank group) and an equal volume of anhydrous ethanol instead of DPPH as the sample background (background group). Set up three replicate wells for each concentration. Calculate the clearance rate using the following formula:

[0121] (I) Cell uptake experiment
[0122] To investigate the uptake of test samples by 293T cells, the cells were seeded in 12-well plates and cultured overnight. Subsequently, they were treated with N-CDs and Ag. SA -CDs, T-Ag SA Cells were treated with CDs (50 μg / mL) for 6 hours. After incubation, cells were washed three times with PBS to remove excess material, collected, and resuspended in PBS for analysis. Intracellular fluorescence intensity of the carbon dot channels was detected using the PerCP channel, and FlowJo software was used to analyze the fluorescence intensity to assess cellular uptake.

SA After treatment with CDs, mitochondrial superoxide-related fluorescence almost completely disappeared, which directly confirms its excellent mitochondrial ROS scavenging ability.
[0143] (vii) Apoptosis detection
[0144] The oxidative stress model and material processing procedures were as described in the previous section on "Determination of Cellular ROS Scavenging Capacity". After co-incubating N-CDs, AgSA-CDs, and T-AgSA-CDs with cells for 12 hours, the supernatant was discarded and the cells were washed twice with cold PBS. EDTA-free trypsin was added, and the cells were gently detached by shaking and collected in flow cytometry tubes. The cells were centrifuged at 400 rpm for 5 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded. The cells were resuspended in 195 μL of buffer, and 5 μL of Annexin V-FITC fluorescent dye was added, followed by 10 μL of PI dye. The mixture was gently shaken and incubated on ice in the dark for 20 minutes. Immediate flow cytometry analysis was performed: FL1 (530 / 30 nm) was used for FITC detection, and FL2 (585 / 42 nm) was used for PI detection. Results are as follows: Figure 14 As shown.

[0147] III. Mouse Treatment Effect Experiment
[0148] (I) Modeling and Treatment of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Mice
[0149] Male C57BL / 6 mice (8-10 weeks old) were selected and given a single tail vein injection of cisplatin (CDDP, 20 mg / kg). -1 Dissolved in 0.9% physiological saline, a mouse model of acute kidney injury (AKI) was established. Figure 15 As shown in Figure a.
[0150] Injection of cisplatin (20 mg / kg) -1Afterwards, the mice exhibited the following typical characteristics: (1) a rapid decrease in body weight of approximately 25% within 72 hours; (2) serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Scr) levels increased to approximately 5 times that of the control group within 72 hours, indicating severe impairment of glomerular filtration function. Subsequently, four interventions were administered: N-acetylcysteine (NAC), nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs), silver single-atom nanozymes (Ag... SA -CDs) and T-Ag targeting renal tubular epithelial cells SA -CDs. The results are as follows: Figure 15 The figures are shown in diagrams b, c, and d.
[0151] The results showed that the NAC and N-CDs groups only partially reversed the above biochemical indicators; at 72 hours, BUN and Scr were still about 2-4 times higher than baseline. Meanwhile, T-Ag... SA - The CDs group performed significantly better than the previous two, with their weight recovering to 90% of their initial value; Ag SA The CDs group recovered its body weight, BUN, and Scr to control levels within 72 hours, indicating that it had the best overall renal protective effect.
[0152] (II) Study on biological distribution
[0153] AKI mice were randomly divided into three groups and intravenously injected with N-CDs, Ag, etc., respectively. SA -CDs or T-Ag SA -CDs (all doses are 10 mg / kg) -1 Animals were euthanized at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours post-injection, and tissue samples from the heart, brain, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were collected. Fluorescence images of each organ were acquired using a Kino small animal imaging system (Spectroscopic Instruments Imaging, Inc., USA), with the excitation / emission filters matched to the emission peak wavelength of the carbon dot material. N-CDs and Ag were injected. SA -CDs, T-Ag SA Fluorescence images of kidney tissue samples containing -CDs, as shown below. Figure 16 As shown in Figure a, T-Ag was injected. SA Fluorescence images of heart, brain, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissue samples containing CDs, as shown below. Figure 16 As shown in Figure b.
[0154] Figure 16 a shows that N-CDs, Ag SA -CDs and T-Ag SA N-CDs uptake in mouse kidneys was time-dependent. N-CDs were rapidly internalized 1 hour after injection, distributed as fluorescent dots in the renal parenchyma, and remained there for up to 24 hours; Ag SAThe kinetic curves of -CDs are similar, but thanks to the silver-mediated fluorescence enhancement effect, both their brightness and fluorescence intensity are significantly improved; T-Ag SA -CDs have the highest uptake efficiency, with the signal peak shifting further forward and reaching its maximum intensity.
[0155] Figure 16 b indicates that T-Ag SA CDs are mainly enriched in the renal cortex and medulla, reaching their fluorescence peak in 6-12 hours. The uptake in other organs (brain, heart, lungs, liver, spleen) is extremely low, highlighting their excellent renal targeting properties.
[0156] Journey to the West T-Ag SA Heart, brain, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissues from mice injected with CDs were weighed and homogenized with PBS buffer at a weight-to-volume ratio of 1:3. The homogenate was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, and the fluorescence intensity of the supernatant was then measured (excitation wavelength 560 nm / emission wavelength 640 nm). The final concentration was calculated based on the standard curve prepared from the control tissue homogenate.
[0157] Biodistribution is expressed as percentage of injected dose per gram of tissue (%ID g) -1 = [(CD content per gram of tissue based on fluorescence) / (total injection dose)] × 100%.
[0158] The results are as follows Figure 16 As shown in c, T-Ag SA -CDs accumulate in the kidneys, peaking at 45% ID / g within 3 hours, followed by rapid clearance, decreasing to 20% ID / g within 24 hours, with target organ residues <5% ID / g. Liver uptake shows only transient increases, while lung, heart, and brain uptake remain consistently below 5% ID / g. This pharmacokinetic profile ensures efficient accumulation of nanozymes in AKI lesions while maintaining extremely low systemic exposure, providing strong assurance for safe treatment.
[0159] (III) Evaluation of in vivo therapeutic effects
[0160] Male C57BL / 6 mice were randomly divided into six groups (n=6 per group): (1) healthy PBS group; (2) AKI+PBS group; (3) AKI+N-acetylcysteine (NAC) group; (4) AKI+(N-CD) group; (5) AKI+(Ag) group. SA -CD) group; (6)AKI+(T-Ag SA -CD) group.
[0161] Cisplatin (20 mg / kg) was administered via a single tail vein injection. -1AKI induction. The dosing regimen is as follows: intravenous injection 1 hour before cisplatin administration, followed by repeated administration at 24 and 48 hours (total dose 10 mg / kg). -1 NAC dosage and T-Ag SA -CD equivalent). Mice were sacrificed after 72 hours, and blood was collected and centrifuged (4℃, 3000rpm, 20min). Serum samples were sent to Wuhan Cyber Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for automated detection of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. Kidneys were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned (4μm). Histopathological evaluation was performed under light microscopy using hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. Results are as follows. Figure 17 As shown in Figure a.
[0162] from Figure 17 As shown in a, diffuse swelling of renal tubular epithelial cells and significant dilation of the lumen were observed in the renal cortex of the AKI group; Bowman's capsule in the glomeruli was widened, and T-Ag was detected. SA - After CDs treatment, renal tubular epithelial edema completely subsided, and the brush border structure returned to clear; the glomerular outline was regular, with no significant difference from the control group.
[0163] Paraffin-embedded kidney sections (4 μm) were dewaxed and hydrated before being processed with 20 μg mL of [agent / method / treatment]. -1 Proteinase K was permeabilized at 37°C for 15 minutes. After rinsing with PBS, apoptotic cells were labeled by incubating with TUNEL reaction mixture at 37°C in the dark for 60 minutes. Sections were washed three times with PBS, counterstained with DAPI, and imaged under a fluorescence microscope. Results are as follows: Figure 17 As shown in Figure b.
[0164] from Figure 17 b indicates that Ag SA -CDs and T-Ag SA -CDs showed lower fluorescence intensity than other treatment groups, T-Ag SA -CDs exhibited the lowest fluorescence intensity, indicating that they can accelerate the repair of renal tubular structure and function by inhibiting apoptosis.
