Abstract
- Aim: A multifunctional nanoplatform has been developed to enhance the targeting capability and biosafety of drug/siRNA for better diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). Materials & methods: The nanoplatform's chemical properties, biodistribution, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capabilities, therapeutic effects and biocompatibility were investigated. Results: The nanoplatform exhibited MI-targeting properties and pH-sensitivity, allowing for effective cardiac MRI and delivery of drugs to the infarcted myocardium. The GCD/Qt@ZIF-RGD demonstrated potential as a reliable MRI probe for MI diagnosis. Moreover, the GCD/si-SHP1/Qt@ZIF-RGD effectively suppressed SHP-1 expression, increased pro-angiogenesis gene expression and reduced cell apoptosis in HUVECs exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation. Conclusion: Our newly developed multifunctional drug delivery system shows promise as a nanoplatform for both the diagnosis and treatment of MI. Graphical Abstract Article highlights The BSA-RGD-modified ZIF-8 nanoplatform is constructed. The nanoplatform encapsulates quercetin and SHP-1 siRNA as the therapeutic agents, and GCD as the MRI contrast agent. The nanoplatform is infarct-targeting and pH-sensitive, resulting in efficient drug/siRNA delivery. The GCD/si-SHP1/Qt@ZIF-RGD nanoparticles produce efficient gene silencing of SHP-1 in vitro and in vivo. The GCD/si-Con/Qt@ZIF-RGD promote angiogenesis and alleviate cell apoptosis on HUVECs under H/R. The GCD/si-SHP1/Qt@ZIF-RGD display better performance on promoting angiogenesis and alleviating cell apoptosis on HUVECs under H/R. The GCD/Qt@ZIF-RGD can serve as a promising MRI probe for MI imaging. The GCD/si-SHP1/Qt@ZIF-RGD nanoparticles show good biocompatibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
