- Abstract
- Deep burn injuries are complicated traumas accompanying severe oxidative stress and impairment of inherent cellular defense mechanisms against external bacteria. Accordingly, it is required to suppress oxidative stress and support the recovery of intrinsic defense systems in burn wound lesions, but limited topical treatments are clinically available. Herein, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory 2H-WS2 nanosheets are developed as a biocompatible, topical antipyrotic for the treatment of deep burn wounds. The 2H-WS2 nanosheets functional-ized with a block copolymer can effectively suppress extrinsic apoptosis, lipid peroxidation, and inflammation in human keratinocytes by scavenging intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Moreover, the 2H-WS2 nanosheets markedly stimulate the up-regulation of innate antioxidant enzymes and antimicrobial peptides in the skin cells, enhancing their intrinsic cellular defense systems. The combined effects of this 2H-WS2 antipyrotic enables a higher efficacy in the deep burn wounds of mice, accelerating re-epithelialization and satisfactory wound healing as compared with commercial silver sulfadiazine (SSD). The therapeutic mechanism of the 2H-WS2 nanosheets for deep burn wounds is proposed herein and found to be distinctly different from that of SSD. The nanotherapeutics of multifunctional 2H-WS2 nanosheets show potential for use in the treatment of other oxidative stress-induced and inflammatory diseases.
