TL;DR
This paper reviews how nanomedicine can precisely modulate reactive oxygen species to treat rheumatoid arthritis, offering new therapeutic strategies.
Contribution
The paper systematically categorizes and evaluates ROS-modulating nanotherapeutic systems for rheumatoid arthritis.
Findings
ROS-centered nanotherapies can reshape the immune microenvironment and restore redox balance in RA.
Different nanosystems, including ROS-scavenging and responsive types, offer advantages in RA treatment.
Challenges remain in biosafety, controllability, and clinical translation of these nanotherapies.
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation and progressive joint destruction. Extensive studies have demonstrated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of RA. Imbalanced ROS not only aggravate synovial inflammation and cartilage degradation but also disrupt immune homeostasis. In recent years, nanotechnology-based strategies for regulating ROS have provided new insights into the precise treatment of RA. This review systematically summarizes ROS-centered nanotherapeutic systems applied in RA therapy, including ROS-scavenging nanosystems, ROS-responsive nanosystems, ROS-scavenging and responsive composite nanosystems, and ROS-augmenting nanosystems. Furthermore, the review highlights the advantages of ROS-modulating nanosystems in reshaping the immune microenvironment,…
