AI Article Synopsis

  • The rise of multidrug resistance is a serious challenge for both human and animal health, making it crucial to find new treatments.
  • Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) show promise, but their instability has limited their effectiveness, prompting the design of self-assembling peptides (like FFN) that can form nanoparticles and nanofibers in response to bacteria, enhancing stability significantly.
  • FFN demonstrated strong antibacterial properties against multidrug-resistant bacteria and proved effective in treating infections in a mouse model, suggesting a potential advancement in using peptide-based nanomaterials in medical and veterinary settings.

Article Abstract

The wide-spreading of multidrug resistance poses a significant threat to human and animal health. Although antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) show great potential application, their instability has severely limited their clinical application. Here, self-assembled AMPs composed of multiple modules based on the principle of associating natural marine peptide N6 with ß-sheet-forming peptide were designed. It is noteworthy that one of the designed peptides, FFN could self-assemble into nanoparticles at 35.46 µM and achieve a dynamic transformation from nanoparticles to nanofibers in the presence of bacteria, resulting in a significant increase in stability in trypsin and tissues by 1.72-57.5 times compared to that of N6. Additionally, FFN exhibits a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-positive (G) and gram-negative (G) bacteria with Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) as low as 2 µM by membrane destruction and complemented by nanofiber capture. In vivo mouse mastitis infection model further confirmed the therapeutic potential and promising biosafety of the self-assembled peptide FFN, which can effectively alleviate mastitis caused by MDR Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and eliminate pathogenic bacteria. In conclusion, the design of peptide-based nanomaterials presents a novel approach for the delivery and clinical translation of AMPs, promoting their application in medicine and animal husbandry.
