The number of diabetics is increasing worldwide and is associated with significant instances of clinical morbidity. Increased amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and proinflammatory cytokines are associated with the pathogenesis of diabetic wounds and result in a significant delay in healing. Our previous studies have shown the ability of a cerium oxide nanoparticle (CNP) formulation conjugated with the anti-inflammatory microRNA miR146a (CNP-miR146a) to enhance the healing of diabetic wounds. The observed therapeutic activity exceeded the combined efficacies of the individual conjugate components (CNPs and miR146a alone), suggesting a synergistic effect. The current study evaluates whether the previously observed enhanced activity arises from increased agent delivery (simple nanocarrier activity) or is specific to the CNP-miR146a formulation (functional, bio-active nanomaterial). Comparison with miR146a conjugated gold (bioactive, metal) and silica (bioinert, oxide) nanoparticles (AuNPs and SiO2NPs) was performed in the presence of H2O2, as an analogue to the high levels of ROS present in the diabetic wound environment. Electrochemical studies, materials characterization, and chemical assays showed limited interaction of AuNP-miR146a with H2O2 and instability of SiO2NP-miR146a over time. In contrast, and in support of our prior results, CNP-miR146a displayed chemical stability and persistent ROS scavenging ability. Furthermore, it was determined that CNPs protect miR146a from oxidative damage under prolonged exposure to H2O2, whereas AuNPs and SiO2NPs were shown to be ineffective. Overall, these results reinforce the ability of CNPs to stabilize and protect miRNA while exhibiting robust antioxidant properties, suggesting that therapeutic activity observed in related earlier studies is not limited to a facile nanocarrier function. The stability of microRNA-146a conjugated with different nanoparticles in the presence of high oxidative stress was investigated through detailed electroanalysis.
