The oxidative damage to cornea can lead to inflammation and even vision loss. Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a Chinese herbal drug and has been shown to prevent chronic diseases in clinical practices and has been proven to possess anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. In the study, we prepared poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) as a sustained drug release system of Lingzhi (LZH) to improve bioavailability. The particle size of developed NPs containing LZH (LZH-NPs) was ~184 nm with narrow size distribution. The results of cellular uptake revealed that using NPs as a drug delivery system could significantly increases the intracellular retention time. The results of the cell viability and chemiluminescence assay revealed that 5 μg/ml of LZH-NPs might be the threshold concentration for cultivation of corneal epithelial cells. After treating LZH-NPs in oxidative damaged cells, the results showed that the inflammation-related gene expression and DNA fragmentation level were both significantly decreased. Post-treatment of LZH-NPs in damaged corneal epithelial cells could increase the cell survival rate. In the rabbit corneal alkali burn model, topical instillation of LZH-NPs could promote corneal wound healing and decrease the inflammation. These results suggest that LZH-NPs may have the potential to treat ocular surface diseases caused by oxidative stress. |
