Cardiovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis remains the main reason of death in the worldwide scale. Although oxidative stress plays a key role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, current antioxidant drugs have limited efficacy. To resolve this problem, we constructed Nox2 siRNA-loaded nanobubbles (PNBs-siNox2) coated with platelet membranes to utilize their antioxidant stress activity and targeting effect for atherosclerosis treatment. After platelet membranes modification, the capacity of PNBs-siNox2 to target collagen, foam cells, or human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was significantly increased. Moreover, our study demonstrated that under ultrasonic irradiation, biomimetic nanobubbles were more effective at targeting atherosclerotic plaques and delivering genes into cells. In the present study, we provided a biomimetic gene loading strategy based on nanoplatform for noninvasive, precise and efficient therapy of atherosclerosis, which further improved the efficiency of gene transfection and effectively slowed the progression of atherosclerotic plaques when combined with ultrasound.

Effective, precise, and controllable oxygen delivery is crucial for regulating the oxygenation balance of brain tissue at the early stages of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) because the absence of oxygen may result in a series of highly interconnected vascular-neural pathological events, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and neuroapoptosis. In this study, platelet membrane-reassembled oxygen nanobubbles (PONBs) were constructed for oxygen delivery to protect AIS. Benefiting from the preserved natural targeting ability of platelet membranes, oxygen can be controlled release into the hypoxia lesion at the preperfusion stage due to vascular injury targeting and oxygen sustained diffusion capability after PONBs administration.

Interfacial nanobubbles on a superhydrophobic surface can serve as ultrasound cavitation nuclei for continuously promoting sonodynamic therapy, but their poor dispersibility in blood has limited their biomedical application. In this study, we proposed ultrasound-responsive biomimetic superhydrophobic mesoporous silica nanoparticles, modified with red blood cell membrane and loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) (F-MSN-DOX@RBC), for RM-1 tumor sonodynamic therapy. Their mean size and zeta potentials were 232 ± 78.

Objectives: Designing and fabrication of theranostic systems based on nanoscale gaseous vesicular systems, named nanobubbles (NBs), attracted enormous interest in recent years. Biomimetic vesicular platform (V-RBC-M) can improve the pharmacokinetics of the prepared platform due to augmented circulation half-life, desirable biodegradability and biocompatibility and reduced immunogenicity.
Methods: V-RBC-M were used for the encapsulation of lipophilic camptothecin (CPT) in the bilayer of vesicles through top-down method, followed by filling the core of V-RBC-M with inert SF6 gas to fabricate NBs with ultrasonic contrast enhancement capability (SF6-NB-CPT).
