ABSTRACT
Currently, pulmonary complications such as lung infections during the perioperative period are still the main cause of prolonged hospitalization and death in patients with lung injury due to the lack of effective drugs. Clusterzyme, a kind of artificial enzyme with a high enzyme-like activity and safety profile, exhibits good effects on reducing oxidative stress and immunomodulation. Here, we present the functionalized patches that is administered on the lung airways and rescues the injured organ via clusterzymes. The long-term antioxidant capacity of the patches significantly ameliorated lipopolysaccharide-induced lung function impairment with a significant reduction in lung goblet cell metaplasia and oxidative stress. The inflammatory factors such as cytokines interleukin-1ß, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels decreased by 50%, while the mtDNA copy number increased by 50% and ATP production increased by 100%. Mice lung function was significantly improved, suggesting that the patches can rescue lung injury by modulating oxidative stress and immune responses as well as protecting the mitochondria, providing an avenue for effective intervention of lung injury.
