Abstract
AbstractWe report the “water‐in‐oil‐in‐water” preparation of kidney injury molecule‐1‐targeting supramolecular chemiluminescence (CL) reporters (PCCS), consisting of L‐serine‐modified poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic) acid (PLGA)‐encapsulated peroxyoxalate (CPPO), chlorin e6 (Ce6) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), for early diagnosis and amelioration of acute kidney injury (AKI). In this system, O2⋅−, a biomarker of AKI, triggers the oxidation of CPPO to 1,2‐dioxetanedione and subsequent CL emission via CL resonance energy transfer to Ce6. The L‐serine‐modified PLGA stabilizes CPPO and Ce6 via noncovalent interactions, promoting long‐lived CL (half‐lives: ≈1000 s). Transcriptomics analysis shows that PCCS reporters reduce the inflammatory response through glutathione metabolism and inhibition of the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway. The reporters are able to non‐invasively detect AKI at least 12 h earlier than current assays, and their antioxidant properties allow simultaneous treatment of AKI.
