ABSTRACT Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a severe impairment of arterial vessels resulting in obstruction of normal blood flow in the legs, leading to acute or chronic lower limb ischemia and subsequently high morbidity and mortality rates. Common treatments for PAD, such as medications and surgical revascularization, have several limitations. For instance, medications used to lower cholesterol, reduce high blood pressure, control blood sugar, prevent blood clots, and relieve symptoms like leg pains may delay onset. Still, they cannot treat the established disease directly and often cause side effects, including bleeding, headache, and diarrhea. Meanwhile, many elderly PAD patients cannot undergo surgical options. Therefore, it is vital to develop an alternative therapy to treat PAD. Our long-term goal is to develop novel degradable dual-modal imaging nanoparticles (DINPs) to precisely deliver therapeutic reagents that provide cell protection and facilitate the formation of blood vessels de novo at ischemic sites while allowing detection of the NP location and monitoring of their therapeutic effectiveness for PAD treatment. We have three specific aims: (1) To synthesize, characterize and optimize our biodegradable dual-modal fluorescent/photoacoustic elastomers named biodegradable photoluminescent polymers-aniline tetramers (BPLPAT), (2) To formulate and analyze DINPs made of optimized BPLPATs and loaded with therapeutic reagents for facilitating cell protection and angiogenesis, and (3) To evaluate the effectiveness of DINPs to treat PAD in vivo using animal models. Innovative aspects of this research are i) the use of our novel BPLPAT material allowing both fluorescent and deep-tissue photoacoustic imaging opportunities to detect the in vivo distribution of these NPs and evaluate their degradation assessment; ii) development of DINPs based on recent advances in nanotechnology and tissue engineering providing a unique strategy to deliver new therapeutic agents to the ischemic site in order to enhance cellular protection and promote angiogenesis in situ under hypoxic conditions such as ischemic tissues. The rigor of prior research and scientific feasibility of our developed DINPs are well-established as we have already demonstrated (1) their detectability via both fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging, (2) the retention of DINPs loaded with therapeutic agents at the ischemic zones, (3) the release of therapeutic compounds in a sustained manner, and (4) their capacity to provide cell protection and promote angiogenesis to recover blood perfusion after ischemia. The success of our research will provide a novel therapy for the effective treatment of PAD.

摘要 外周动脉疾病(PAD)是一种严重损害动脉血管，导致正常血管阻塞的疾病 腿部血液流动，导致急性或慢性下肢缺血，继而高发病率和 死亡率。PAD的常见治疗方法，如药物治疗和外科血管重建术，有几种 限制。例如，用于降低胆固醇、降低高血压、控制血糖、 防止血栓，缓解腿部疼痛等症状可能会延缓发病。尽管如此，他们还是不能治疗既得利益者 疾病通常会直接引起副作用，包括出血、头痛和腹泻。与此同时，许多人 老年PAD患者不能接受手术治疗。因此，开发一种替代疗法来治疗 治疗垫。我们的长期目标是开发新型可降解的双模式成像纳米颗粒(DINP)来 精确提供治疗试剂，提供细胞保护和促进血管形成 NOVO在缺血部位，同时允许检测NP位置并监测其治疗 PAD治疗的有效性。我们有三个具体的目标：(1)合成、表征和优化我们的 生物可降解荧光/光声双模弹性体 聚合物-苯胺四聚体(BPLPAT)，(2)配制和分析由优化的BPLPAT和 装载了促进细胞保护和血管生成的治疗试剂，以及(3)评估 DINPS在动物模型体内治疗PAD的有效性。本研究的创新之处在于：1) 使用我们的新型BPLPAT材料可以提供荧光和深层组织光声成像机会 检测这些纳米粒子在体内的分布并评估它们的降解评估；ii)开发 DINPS基于纳米技术和组织工程的最新进展，提供了一种独特的策略 将新的治疗药物输送到缺血部位，以增强细胞保护和促进 缺氧条件下的原位血管生成，如缺血组织。先前研究的严谨性和 我们开发的DINP的科学可行性是站得住脚的，正如我们已经证明的(1) 通过荧光和光声成像的可检测性，(2)负载治疗性的DINP的保留 缺血区的药物，(3)治疗化合物的持续释放，以及(4)其 提供细胞保护和促进血管生成的能力，以恢复缺血后的血液灌流。这个 本研究的成功将为PAD的有效治疗提供一种新的治疗方法。
