Click-Chemistry Hydrogel Delivery Aggregation-Induced Emission-Active
Nanovesicles Enables “One-Stop” Remodeling and Antibiosis on Deep
Scald Wound
Abstract
The serve burn or scald wounds always face persistent infections and
self-repair function decline caused by serious tissue necrosis, leading
to delayed healing or even sepsis. In this work, we proposed a
click-chemistry hydrogel delivery system of antibacterial and tissue
remodeling function nanovesicles for deep scald wound treatment. An
hydrophilic photodynamic aggregation-induced emission photosensitizer
4-(2-(5-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)thiophen-2-yl)vinyl)-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)
pyridin-1-ium bromide (THB) was firstly encapsulated into nanovesicles
derived from easily accessible adipose stem cells (ANVs) to create
THB@ANVs, which exhibits enhanced bacteria-targeting property and
multiple tissue remodeling effects. To deliver THB@ANVs, an injectable
click-chemistry hydrogel of carboxymethyl chitosan was used to form a
wound treatment system for deep scald wounds. The hydrogel can well
matching the wound morphology and respond to the acidic microenvironment
of the wound to accelerate sustained release. In vivo wound healing
evaluations show that the composite hydrogel can efficiently accelerate
wound healing by reducing the number of bacteria, promoting early
angiogenesis, and regulating immune reaction. This study provides a
simple, low-cost, and effective “one-stop” strategy with diverse
functions and wide applicability for scald wound remodeling and
antibiosis.
