Abstract

To investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of pH-responsive polyphenol delivery systems, zein-phlorotannin (PTN)-carbon quantum dots (CQDs) nanoparticles were constructed by loading PTN into zein-CQDs nanoparticles.Zein-PTN-CQDs-Fe nanoparticles were further prepared by adding tannic acid and Fe3+ based on zein-PTN-CQDs nanoparticles.The pH-responsive release characteristics and anti-inflammatory activity of the nanoparticles were explored through experiments on polyphenol release in vitro, cell toxicity, cell apoptosis imaging, anti-inflammatory properties, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection.Results showed that the addition of CQDs effectively reduced the particle size and increased the encapsulation efficiency.pH-responsive polyphenol-metal coating networks were formed on the surface of zein-PTN-CQDs nanoparticles through the combination of tannic acid and Fe3+.The release rates of PTN-CQDs-FeIII nanoparticles under acidic conditions of pH 6.2, 5, and 4 were 78%, 89%, and 96%, respectively, significantly higher than those under neutral conditions (28%), exhibiting sustained release and pH-responsive characteristics.For lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, zein-PTN-CQDs-Fe nanoparticles significantly reduced ROS production and exhibited superior inhibition of pro-inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) and promotion of anti-inflammatory factors (IL-10 and prostaglandin E2) compared to the PTN group and zein-CQDs-Fe group.
