A versatile platform based on matrix metalloproteinase-sensitive peptides for novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in arthritis

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), coupled with other proteinases and glycanases, can degrade proteoglycans, collagens, and other extracellular matrix (ECM) components in inflammatory and non-inflammatory arthritis, making them important pathogenic molecules and ideal disease indicators and pharmaceu...

description Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), coupled with other proteinases and glycanases, can degrade proteoglycans, collagens, and other extracellular matrix (ECM) components in inflammatory and non-inflammatory arthritis, making them important pathogenic molecules and ideal disease indicators and pharmaceutical intervention triggers. For MMP responsiveness, MMP-sensitive peptides (MSPs) are among the most easily synthesized and cost-effective substrates, with free terminal amine and/or carboxyl groups extensively employed in multiple designs. We hereby provide a comprehensive review over the mechanisms and advances in MSP applications for the management of arthritis. These applications include early and precise diagnosis of MMP activity via fluorescence probe technologies; acting as nanodrug carriers to enable on-demand drug release triggered by pathological microenvironments; and facilitating cartilage engineering through MMP-mediated degradation, which promotes cell migration, matrix synthesis, and tissue integration. Specifically, the ultra-sensitive MSP diagnostic probes could significantly advance the early diagnosis and detection of osteoarthritis (OA), while MSP-based drug carriers for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can intelligently release anti-inflammatory drugs effectively during flare-ups, or even before symptoms manifest. The continuous progress in MSP development may acceleratedly lead to novel management regimens for arthropathy in the future.
