Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-associated oxidative stress, inflammation storm, and massive hepatocyte necrosis are the typical manifestations of acute liver failure (ALF), therefore specific therapeutic interventions are essential for the devastating disease. Here, we developed a platform consisting of versatile biomimetic copper oxide nanozymes (Cu NZs)-loaded PLGA nanofibers (Cu [email protected] nanofibers) and decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogels for delivery of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells-derived hepatocyte-like cells (hADMSCs-derived HLCs) (HLCs/Cu [email protected] /dECM). Cu [email protected] nanofibers could conspicuously scavenge excessive ROS at the early stage of ALF, and reduce the massive accumulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, herein efficiently preventing the deterioration of hepatocytes necrosis. Moreover, Cu [email protected] nanofibers also exhibited a cytoprotection effect on the transplanted HLCs. Meanwhile, HLCs with hepatic-specific biofunctions and anti-inflammatory activity acted as a promising alternative cell source for ALF therapy. The dECM hydrogels further provided the desirable 3D environment and favorably improved the hepatic functions of HLCs. In addition, the pro-angiogenesis activity of Cu [email protected] nanofibers also facilitated the integration of the whole implant with the host liver. Hence, HLCs/Cu [email protected] /dECM performed excellent synergistic therapeutic efficacy on ALF mice. This strategy using Cu [email protected] nanofiber-reinforced dECM hydrogels for HLCs in situ delivery is a promising approach for ALF therapy and shows great potential for clinical translation.
