Abstract

Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), a key characteristic of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is responsible for dysregulation of signal transduction, inflammatory response, and DNA damage, which ultimately leads to disease progression and deterioration. Thus, ROS scavenging has become a promising strategy to navigate IBD. Inspired by the targeting capability of hyaluronic acid (HA) to CD44-overexpressed inflammatory cells together with the redox regulation capacity of diselenide compounds, we developed an oral nanoformulation, i.e., diselenide-bridged hyaluronic acid nanogel (SeNG), with a view to treat colitis through a ROS scavenging mechanism. Our data demonstrated that SeNG specifically…
