Description
Summary:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic relapsing dermatosis that demands new therapies. This research group previously developed a physically extracted adipose-derived extracellular matrix named adipose collagen fragments (ACF), which was determined containing massive adipose matrix-bound adipokines and medicable on AD through intradermal injection. However, problems concerning the control of drug release and inevitable pain caused by injection hinder the application of ACF in clinics. Microneedle (MN) is a rapid developing technique for precise and painless transdermal drug delivery. Therefore, a dissolving methacrylated gelatin/hyaluronic acid MN patch loaded with ACF was developed in this study. The morphological characteristics, mechanical properties, penetration ability, as well as biocompatibility and degradation efficiency of ACF-MN were evaluated, and its efficacy on ovalbumin-induced AD mice was also investigated. ACF-MN exhibited excellent penetration ability, biocompatibility, degradation efficiency, and satisfying efficacy on murine AD similar with fresh-made ACF. Furthermore, RNA-Seq combining bioinformatics were performed for mechanism exploration. ACF treatment showed a comprehensive efficacy on AD via restoring inflammatory dysregulation, microbiota imbalance, and skin barrier defects. This study offered a novel MN-based ACF-bound adipokines transdermal delivery system that may serve as a promising strategy for relieving AD.
