摘要: Lysozyme-responsive nanoparticles were fabricated using a hydrophilic protein (gelatin type A) as the core and a hydrophobic polysaccharide (chitosan) as the shell. In this study, curcumin was used as a model molecule for encapsulation and promoted the aggregation of gelatin nanoparticles. Transglutaminase catalyzed both intramolecular cross-linking within gelatin and inter-molecular cross-linking between gelatin and chitosan. The formation mechanism of gelatin nanoparticles was investigated by molecular docking simulations, circular dichroism spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, turbidity analysis, and dynamic light scattering. Results indicated that pH-driven processes can induce molecular conformational changes of gelatin. However, these alone are insufficient to induce nanoparticle formation. Hydrogen bonding, Pi-alkyl interactions, Pi-Pi interactions, and van der Waals forces between gelatin and curcumin are crucial for the core formation. The coating mechanism of chitosan involved covalent bonds catalyzed by transglutaminase and electrostatic interactions, verified by dynamic light scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Physicochemical properties characterization revealed that the core-shell nanoparticles exhibited a maximum encapsulation efficiency of 97.2 +/- 0.3 % and an average particle size of 120 +/- 21 nm. The core-shell nanoparticles exhibited high thermal and pH stability, with curcumin retention rates exceeding 80 % under acidic, neutral, and weakly alkaline conditions, and detained thermal degradation up to 90 degrees C. Additionally, lysozyme responsiveness was evaluated by controlled curcumin release with varying lysozyme concentrations, through which enzymatic hydrolysis of chitosan by lysozyme triggered an increased release rate. In summary, core-shell nanoparticles synthesized from gelatin and chitosan may be effective target delivery systems for curcumin.
