The treatment of peripheral neuropathy resulting from diabetes primarily emphasizes neurotrophic medications. However, a growing body of clinical studies indicates that neuroinflammation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain. This has spurred active exploration of treatment strategies leveraging nanomedicine for diseases, aiming for superior therapeutic outcomes. In this context, we have developed biodegradable nanoparticles made of polylactic-co-glycolic acid, loaded with triptolide (pCel), designed to alleviate somatic cell neuropathic pain induced by diabetes. Treatment with pCel notably reduced levels of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis . Furthermore, the progression of streptozotocin-induced diabetes, characterized by elevated renal function indices (blood urea nitrogen, creatinine), liver function indices (bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase) and decreased levels of albumin and globulin, was mitigated following pCel administration. Importantly, oral treatment with pCel significantly inhibited mechanical allodynia and the activation of the sciatic glial cells in diabetic rats. These findings indicate that this synthetic, biodegradable nanomedicine exhibits excellent stability, biocompatibility and catalytic activity, making it a promising and innovative approach for the management of chronic pain conditions associated with diabetic neuropathy.
