Background: Acute skeletal muscle injuries are common among physical or sports traumas. The excessive oxidative stress at the site of injury impairs muscle regeneration. The authors have recently developed porous Se@SiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) with antioxidant properties. Methods: The protective effects were evaluated by cell proliferation, myogenic differentiation and mitochondrial activity. Then, the therapeutic effect was investigated in a cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury rat model. Results: Porous Se@SiO 2 NPs significantly protected the morphological and functional stability of mitochondria, thus protecting satellite cells from H 2 O 2 -induced damage to cell proliferation and myogenic differentiation. In the rat model, intervention with porous Se@SiO 2 NPs promoted muscle regeneration. Conclusion: This study reveals the application potential of porous Se@SiO 2 NPs in skeletal muscle diseases related to mitochondrial dysfunction.
