Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of antibacterial photodynamic technology, and particularly relates to antibacterial photodynamic therapy for periodontitis using microenvironment-responsive regulation of ROS and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Periodontitis can lead to loose teeth and even tooth loss, and it is also a risk factor for systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Pathogenic bacteria within the periodontal pockets of periodontitis can spread through the bloodstream and other routes, causing infections in distant organs. Epidemiological surveys show that the periodontal health rate among adults in my country is less than 10%. Therefore, timely and effective treatment of periodontitis and long-term control of pathogenic bacteria within the periodontal pockets are crucial.
[0003] Antibacterial photodynamic therapy has been applied in clinical practice. However, the antibacterial photodynamic therapy currently used in the treatment of periodontitis has many shortcomings: (1) The hypoxic microenvironment in the periodontal pocket and the self-aggregation characteristics of photosensitizers limit the efficiency of ROS production by antibacterial photodynamic therapy; (2) The short lifespan of ROS (nanosecond to microsecond) and the limited diffusion distance result in a limited effective time for antibacterial photodynamic therapy to exert its antibacterial effect; (3) Antibacterial photodynamic therapy cannot responsively generate ROS (exerting antibacterial effect) and clear ROS (relieving tissue oxidative stress) according to the characteristics of the infection microenvironment; (4) The ROS generated by antibacterial photodynamic therapy has insufficient bacterial targeting, affecting the antibacterial efficiency; (5) Antibacterial photodynamic therapy focuses on antibacterial activity, and its ability to regulate immune cells and osteoclasts in the periodontal inflammatory microenvironment is limited. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an antibacterial photodynamic therapy for periodontitis using microenvironment-responsive ROS and its preparation method, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing antibacterial photodynamic therapy for periodontitis using microenvironment-responsive ROS, comprising the following steps:
[0006] Step 1: Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, tin chloride pentahydrate, and L-cysteine are mixed in a mixed solution of ethylene glycol and water. After stirring at room temperature in the dark, a hydrothermal reaction is carried out. After the reaction is completed and cooled to room temperature, the precipitate is collected by centrifugation and washed. After freeze-drying, tin sulfide oxide is obtained.
[0007] Step 2: Dissolve zinc nitrate, copper nitrate and urea in deionized water, heat and stir, then raise and maintain the temperature. After the reaction is complete, centrifuge, wash and dry the reaction product, then heat to 350-450℃ to obtain the precursor; then dissolve the precursor and thioacetamide in ethanol at a mass ratio of 1:4, stir, centrifuge, wash and dry the reaction product to obtain nanozyme.
[0008] Step 3: Indocyanine green and bacterial targeting peptide UBI29-41 were dissolved in ultrapure water at a mass ratio of 10:1 and stirred in the dark. The mixture was then centrifuged and freeze-dried to obtain the conjugate product of photosensitizer indocyanine green and bacterial targeting peptide UBI29-41. Nanozymes and tin sulfide oxide were added to the ultrapure water at a mass ratio of 2:1 and stirred overnight. After stirring, the mixture was centrifuged and freeze-dried to obtain tin sulfide oxide loaded with nanozymes. Tin sulfide oxide loaded with nanozymes, dihydromyricetin, and the conjugate product were stirred overnight in the dark at a mass ratio of 2:1:1. After the reaction was completed, the reaction product was centrifuged, washed, and freeze-dried to obtain antibacterial photodynamic therapy.
[0009] Further, in step one, 22.4 mmol sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, 1.0 mmol tin chloride pentahydrate, and 8.0 mmol L-cysteine are mixed in a mixed solution of ethylene glycol and water.
[0010] Furthermore, in step one, the hydrothermal reaction temperature is 150-170℃, and the time is 8-12h.
[0011] Further, in step two, 10.1 mmol zinc nitrate, 12.4 mmol copper nitrate and 83.2 mmol urea are dissolved in deionized water.
[0012] Further, in step two, the mixture is heated and stirred, and then the temperature is raised and maintained. Specifically, the mixture is stirred at 65-85°C for 0.5 hours, and then the reaction temperature is raised to 95°C and maintained for 3 hours.
[0013] Furthermore, in step two, after centrifugation, washing, and drying of the reaction product, specifically: the reaction product is centrifuged, washed, and dried at 50-70℃ for 3-5 hours;
[0014] The reaction product was stirred, centrifuged, washed, and dried to obtain nanozymes. Specifically, the reaction product was stirred at 85-95℃ for 0.5-1.5h, centrifuged, washed, and dried at 35-45℃ for 5-7h to obtain nanozymes.
[0015] Further, in step three, indocyanine green and bacterial targeting peptide UBI29-41 are dissolved in ultrapure water at a mass ratio of 10:1 and stirred in the dark for 12-24 hours.
[0016] Secondly, the present invention provides an antibacterial photodynamic therapy for periodontitis that uses microenvironment-responsive regulation of ROS, prepared by a method for preparing an antibacterial photodynamic therapy for periodontitis using microenvironment-responsive regulation of ROS.
[0017] Thirdly, this invention provides the application of antibacterial photodynamic therapy of ROS in treating periodontitis in the preparation of products for treating periodontitis, including formulations, medical materials or medical devices.
[0018] Furthermore, the product uses microenvironment-responsive programmed regulation of ROS to target bacteria and continuously generate ROS, thus treating periodontitis.
[0019] This invention offers the following advantages: it constructs a microenvironment-responsive antibacterial photodynamic therapy targeting the infection and treatment characteristics of periodontitis. It proposes a strategy combining microenvironment-responsive programmed regulation (generating and clearing ROS at specific times and spaces), precise (bacterial targeting), long-lasting (continuous ROS generation) treatment, and immune regulation to construct antibacterial photodynamic therapy, thereby improving and expanding the efficacy and application scenarios of antibacterial photodynamic therapy for periodontitis. Specifically, the nanozyme exhibits pH responsiveness, efficiently generating ROS for antibacterial activity at the infection site (pH=5.0) and clearing excess ROS in a normal environment (pH=7.4), avoiding tissue damage; the bacterial-targeting peptide precisely binds to pathogenic bacteria; and the photocatalytic oxygen production from tin sulfide oxidation improves the hypoxic environment, continuously generating ROS and prolonging the antibacterial effect.

[0085] The characterization results of tin sulfide (OS) are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the results indicate that tin sulfide oxide, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, exhibits a nanosheet structure with a large specific surface area. Figure 1 A and B in the image); the atomic force microscopy image of tin sulfide oxide shows that the edges of tin sulfide oxide are clear and the thickness is relatively uniform. Figure 1The X-ray diffraction pattern of tin sulfide oxide shows that it contains the characteristic crystal phase structure of tin sulfide, proving the successful preparation of tin sulfide oxide.

[0090] The catalase-like activity results of nanozymes (ZC) are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the results indicate that the catalase-like activity of nanozymes at different pH values (pH=5.0 or pH=7.4) was characterized by hydrogen peroxide oxidation. The nanozymes exhibited stronger catalase-like activity at pH=7.4. Figure 3 (A in the text); The catalase-like activity of the nanozyme at different pH (pH=5.0 or pH=7.4) was characterized by the ammonium molybdate method. The catalase-like activity of the nanozyme was stronger at pH=7.4. Figure 3 (B in the text); The peroxidase-like activity of nanozymes at different pH (pH=5.0 or pH=7.4) was characterized by the o-phenylenediamine method.

[0094] Example 5: In vitro experiment of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) with microenvironment response regulation of ROS for the treatment of periodontitis
[0095] 1. In vitro biocompatibility experiment of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) with microenvironment response regulation for the treatment of periodontitis:
[0096] Osteoblast progenitor cells (MC3T3-E1) and macrophages (RAW264.7) were evaluated using a live-dead staining method. Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were stained with 2 × 10⁻⁶ cells. 4Cells were seeded in 24-well plates and cultured overnight in complete α-MEM and DMEM media until adherence, respectively. Cells were then grouped according to experimental criteria. Control group: normally cultured cells; Control group + light: cells cultured in media irradiated with 808nm laser; IU-DZ@OS group: cells co-cultured in complete media containing antibacterial photodynamic therapy (APPT); IU-DZ@OS group + light: cells co-cultured in complete media containing APT and irradiated with 808nm laser. After co-culturing APT with osteoblast precursor cells and macrophages for 1 and 3 days, respectively, cells were stained using a cell viability / death staining kit and observed under an inverted fluorescence microscope to obtain images.
[0097] The in vitro biocompatibility test results of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the results, the live / dead staining images of osteoblast precursor cells and macrophages indicate that the cells in each group are in good condition and have normal morphology. This suggests that the antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) has good in vitro biocompatibility.
[0098] 2. In vitro antioxidant activity experiment of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) regulated by microenvironment response to treat periodontitis:
[0099] Macrophages (RAW264.7) were assessed using the cellular reactive oxygen species detection probe 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were divided into groups of 2 × 10⁻⁶ cells. 4 Cells were seeded in 24-well plates and cultured overnight in DMEM complete medium until adherence. Cells were then treated according to experimental groups: Control group: normally cultured cells; Lipopolysaccharide group: cells cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing complete medium for 24 h to simulate oxidative stress and inflammation; IU-DZ@OS group: cells cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing complete medium for 24 h followed by co-culture in DMEM complete medium containing antibacterial photodynamic therapy (PDPT); IU-DZ@OS group + light: cells cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing complete medium for 24 h followed by co-culture in DMEM complete medium containing PDPT and then irradiated with 808 nm light. After treatment, cells were stained with 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) according to the kit instructions, and then observed and images were acquired under an inverted fluorescence microscope.
[0100] The in vitro antioxidant activity results of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) are as follows: Figure 6As shown, the results indicated that compared with the normal control group, the 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining fluorescence intensity in the lipopolysaccharide group was significantly enhanced, indicating a higher level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cells. After antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS), the 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining fluorescence intensity was significantly reduced. This suggests that antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) has a good antioxidant effect and can effectively reduce the level of ROS in cells under inflammatory conditions.
[0101] 3. In vitro macrophage polarization assay of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) regulated by microenvironment response in the treatment of periodontitis:
[0102] Macrophages (RAW264.7) were evaluated using fluorescent probes of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), mannose receptor (CD206), and nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were analyzed at a concentration of 2 × 10⁻⁶ cells / cells. 4 Cells were seeded in 24-well plates and cultured overnight in DMEM complete medium until adherence. Cells were then treated according to experimental groups: Control group: normally cultured cells; Lipopolysaccharide group: cells cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing complete medium for 24 h to simulate oxidative stress and inflammation; IU-DZ@OS group: cells cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing complete medium for 24 h followed by co-culture in DMEM complete medium containing antibacterial photodynamic therapy (PDPT); IU-DZ@OS group + light: cells cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing complete medium for 24 h followed by co-culture in DMEM complete medium containing PDPT and then irradiated with 808 nm light. After treatment, cells were stained using 4',6-diamidinyl-2-phenylindole (DAPI), mannose receptor (CD206), and nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) fluorescent probes according to the kit instructions, and then observed and imaged under a laser confocal fluorescence microscope.
[0103] The results of the in vitro macrophage polarization assay for antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the results indicated that compared with the normal control group, the nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) fluorescent probe in the lipopolysaccharide group was significantly enhanced, indicating that macrophages were polarized towards pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages and were in an inflammatory state. After antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS), the iNOS fluorescent probe was significantly weakened, while the mannose receptor (CD206) fluorescent probe was significantly enhanced, indicating that macrophage polarization towards pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages was weakened, while polarization towards anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages was enhanced. This suggests that antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) can effectively promote macrophage polarization towards anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages and reduce the level of inflammation.
[0104] 4. Microenvironment-responsive regulation of ROS in the treatment of periodontitis: Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) bacterial targeting assay:
[0105] (1) Synthesizing a non-bacterial targeted photodynamic therapy system (I-DZ@OS) without the bacterial targeting peptide UBI29-41. The specific preparation method is as follows: First, nanozyme (ZC) and tin sulfide oxide (OS) are added to an ultrapure aqueous solution at a mass ratio of 2:1. After stirring overnight, tin sulfide oxide loaded with nanozyme (ZC@OS) is obtained by centrifugation and freeze-drying. ZC@OS, dihydromyricetin (DH) and photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) are stirred overnight in a light-protected environment at a mass ratio of 2:1:1. Then, the precipitate is washed by centrifugation and freeze-dried to obtain a non-bacterial targeted photodynamic therapy system (I-DZ@OS) without the bacterial targeting peptide UBI29-41.
[0106] (2) IU-DZ@OS and I-DZ@OS were labeled with red fluorescent dyes, while methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum were labeled with green fluorescent dyes. IU-DZ@OS and I-DZ@OS were co-cultured with the four bacteria, and then observed and images were obtained under a fluorescence microscope.
[0107] The bacterial targeting assay results for the antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) and the non-bacterial targeted photodynamic therapy system (I-DZ@OS) are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the results indicate that compared to the non-bacterial targeted photodynamic therapy system (I-DZ@OS) which does not contain the bacterial targeting peptide UBI29-41, the antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) exhibits stronger binding ability with the four bacteria, specifically a larger overlap area of red and green fluorescence (yellow fluorescence). This suggests that the antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) possesses better bacterial targeting and binding capabilities.
[0108] 5. In vitro antibacterial colony-smear experiment of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) with microenvironment response regulation for ROS treatment of periodontitis:
[0109] Bacterial suspensions of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Fusobacterium nucleatum in the logarithmic growth phase were treated with antibacterial agents according to groups. Control group: normal culture; Control group + light: bacteria irradiated with 808nm laser; IU-DZ@OS group: bacteria co-cultured with antibacterial photodynamic extract; IU-DZ@OS group + light: bacteria co-cultured with antibacterial photodynamic extract followed by 808nm laser irradiation. The treated bacterial suspensions were spread onto bacterial culture plates and incubated overnight. Colony forming units (CFU) were then observed in each group. Bacterial survival rate (100%) = CFU of experimental group / CFU of control group × 100%.
[0110] The in vitro antibacterial colony-coated plate experiment results of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) are as follows: Figure 9 As shown in the results, compared with the control group, antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) had better antibacterial effects against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Fusobacterium nucleatum.
[0111] 6. In vitro antibacterial live / dead staining experiment of ROS in the treatment of periodontitis by regulating the microenvironment response:
[0112] Bacterial suspensions of *Porphyromonas gingivalis* and *Fusobacterium nucleatum* in the logarithmic growth phase were subjected to antibacterial treatment according to groups. Control group: normal culture; Control group + light: bacteria irradiated with 808nm laser; IU-DZ@OS group: bacteria co-cultured with antibacterial photodynamic extract; IU-DZ@OS group + light: bacteria co-cultured with antibacterial photodynamic extract followed by 808nm laser irradiation. The treated bacterial suspensions were stained with green fluorescent nucleic acid staining solution and propidium iodide, and the survival of bacteria in each group was observed under an inverted fluorescence microscope.
[0113] Results of in vitro antibacterial live / dead staining assay using photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) are as follows: Figure 10 As shown in the results, compared with the control group, antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) can significantly exert its antibacterial effect against Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum by disrupting the integrity of the bacterial membrane.
[0114] 7. Scanning electron microscopy experiments of in vitro antibacterial effects of IU-DZ@OS (Illuminated by microenvironment response-regulated ROS in the treatment of periodontitis) after antibacterial action:
[0115] Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Porphyromonas gingivalis in the logarithmic growth phase were subjected to antibacterial treatment according to the following groups: Control group: normal culture; Control group + light: bacteria irradiated with 808 nm laser; IU-DZ@OS group: bacteria co-cultured with antibacterial photodynamic extract; IU-DZ@OS group + light: bacteria co-cultured with antibacterial photodynamic extract and then irradiated with 808 nm laser. The treated bacterial cultures were fixed with electron microscopy fixative, then air-dried, sputter-coated with gold, and the morphology and structure of the bacteria were observed under a scanning electron microscope.
[0116] Scanning electron microscope image of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) after in vitro antibacterial treatment is shown below. Figure 11 As shown in the results, compared with the control group, the bacterial morphology changed significantly after treatment with antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS), with the bacterial membrane structure shrinking and losing its normal morphology. This indicates that antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) has a good antibacterial effect.
[0117] Example 6: In vivo experiment of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) with microenvironment response regulation of ROS for the treatment of periodontitis
[0118] 1. In vivo periodontology efficacy evaluation experiment of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) regulated by microenvironment response for periodontitis:
[0119] First, an in vivo animal model of periodontitis was established using 8-week-old female SD rats. After one week of acclimatization, the SD rats were randomly assigned to groups for periodontitis model establishment. The rats were anesthetized during the experiment. Then, 4-0 non-absorbable sutures were placed subgingivally on both sides of the maxillary second molars. The rats were fed a high-sugar solution (10% sucrose), and *Porphyromonas gingivalis* was applied around the sutures to establish the rat periodontitis model. After successful model establishment, the sutures were removed. The SD rats were randomly assigned to groups and given different treatments. The normal control group and the periodontitis group were fed normally; the periodontitis group + phototherapy: rats were fed normally and irradiated with an 808nm laser; the IU-DZ@OS group: rats were fed normally and treated with antibacterial photodynamic therapy; the IU-DZ@OS group + phototherapy: rats were fed normally and treated with antibacterial photodynamic therapy and irradiated with an 808nm laser. After four weeks of treatment, all rats were euthanized with an overdose of anesthetic. Maxillary alveolar bone was collected and preserved in 4% paraformaldehyde solution for subsequent analysis. Alveolar bone samples were scanned using MicroCT. The acquired image data were imported into Materialise Mimics 21.0 software for 3D reconstruction and bone parameter analysis. Subsequently, Bone-analysis 2.0 software was used to calculate and analyze bone-related parameters such as the distance between the alveolar ridge crest and cementoenamel junction, bone volume fraction, trabecular separation, and trabecular thickness in the bone defect areas defined in the reconstructed model.
[0120] The results of the in vivo periodontitis treatment efficacy evaluation experiment of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) are as follows: Figure 12 As shown, the results indicated that compared with the normal group, the periodontitis group rats showed significant alveolar bone resorption, and the distance between the alveolar ridge crest and cementum enamel junction in the periodontitis group was statistically significantly different from that in the normal group. This suggests that the periodontitis model was successfully established. Figure 12 (A and B in the text). After antibacterial photodynamic therapy for periodontitis, which utilizes programmed regulation of ROS in response to the microenvironment for precise and long-lasting treatment, the damaged alveolar bone showed significant recovery. Figure 12 (A) The relevant bone parameters were significantly restored and improved. Figure 12 (BF in the middle). This indicates that antibacterial photodynamic therapy (IU-DZ@OS) has a good in vivo periodontitis treatment effect and can promote the recovery and regeneration of damaged alveolar bone.
