Abstract
Sensory neurons promote profound suppressive effects on neutrophils during Streptococcus pyogenes infection and contribute to the pathogenesis of necrotizing infection ("flesh-eating disease"). Thus, the development of new antibacterial agents for necrotizing infection is promising because of the clear streptococcal neuro-immune communication. Herein, based on the immune escape membrane exterior and competitive membrane functions of the glioma cell membrane, a novel nano neuro-immune blocker capsule was designed to prevent neuronal activation and improve neutrophil immune responses for necrotizing infection. These nano neuro-immune blockers could neutralize streptolysin S, suppress neuron pain conduction and calcitonin gene-related peptide release, and recruit neutrophils to the infection site, providing a strong therapeutic effect against necrotizing infection. Furthermore, nano neuro-immune blockers could serve as an effective inflammatory regulator and antibacterial agent via photothermal effects under near-infrared irradiation. In the Streptococcus pyogenes-induced necrotizing fasciitis mouse model, nano neuro-immune blockers showed significant therapeutic efficacy by ameliorating sensitivity to pain and promoting the antibacterial effect of neutrophils.
