Abstract
Noninvasive and precise diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis is very important for the preventive therapeutic regimen of hepatic cirrhosis and cancer. In this study, we fabricated T1 contrast Mn-porphyrin (MnTPPS4 )/retinoic acid-chitosan ionic-complex nanoparticles (MRC NPs). The functional properties of MRC NPs were evaluated via transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging, release study, cytotoxicity assay, hepatocyte-specific uptake assay, and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging study. TEM images confirmed the typical structure of an ionic-complex NPs with around 100-200 nm of diameter. MnTPPS4 is released from MRC NPs for up to 24 hr in controlled pattern which implies that more reliable and convenient hepatic MR imaging is possible using of MRC NPs in clinical practice. Hepatocytes uptake assay proved retinoic acid-specific targeting of MRC NPs. The same results were observed in animal pharmacokinetic studies. In vitro MR phantom study, MRC NPs showed an increased T1 relaxivity (r1 = 6.772 mM-1 s-1 ) in comparison with 3.242 mM-1 s-1 of MnTPPS4 . The result was confirmed again in vivo MR imaging studies. Taken together, MRC NPs displayed a potential for noninvasive diagnostic T1 MR imaging of hepatic fibrosis with improved target specificity and prolonged MR imaging time window.

Abstract
Recently, exosomes have gained attention as an effective tool for early cancer detection. Almost all types of cells release exosomes, making them substantially important for disease diagnosis. In this study, we have utilized HepG2 cancer cells for the in situ biosynthesis of silver and iron oxide nanoclusters (NCs) from their respective salts (i.e., AgNO3 and FeCl2, respectively) in the presence of glutathione (GSH). The self-assembled biosynthesized silver and iron NCs were readily loaded on exosomes as payloads and secreted into the cell culture medium. The cargo loaded exosomes were then isolated and characterized by electron microscopy for nano-silver and iron oxide NC confirmation. Ag NCs have potential as a fluorescent probe and Fe3O4 NCs as a contrast agent for CT and MRI. Furthermore, these isolated exosomes from HepG2 cancer cells have a significant influence on cellular uptake and cell viability when exposed to both HepG2 and U87 cancer cells. These findings demonstrate that the biocompatible nature of these self-assembled NCs loaded on exosomes could be utilized to bioimage cancer in the initial stages through fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Retinoids regulate a wide spectrum of cellular functions from the embryo throughout adulthood, including cell differentiation, metabolic regulation, and inflammation. These traits make retinoids very attractive molecules for medical purposes. In light of some of the physicochemical limitations of retinoids, the development of drug delivery systems offers several advantages for clinical translation of retinoid-based therapies, including improved solubilization, prolonged circulation, reduced toxicity, sustained release, and improved efficacy. In this Review, we discuss advances in preclinical and clinical tests regarding retinoid formulations, specifically the ones based in natural retinoids, evaluated in the context of regenerative medicine, brain, cancer, skin, and immune diseases. Advantages and limitations of retinoid formulations, as well as prospects to push the field forward, will be presented.

Abstract
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an effective agent that induces differentiation, inhibits cell proliferation, and acts as an anticancer agent. ATRA was successfully conjugated with Pluronic F127 via esterification to enhance its anticancer effects. Pluronic-ATRA showed high cytotoxicity and inhibitory concentrations (IC50) 50% lower than those of ATRA in various breast cancer cell lines (4T1:31.16–8.57 μg/mL; EMT6: 50.48–7.08 μg/mL; MDA-MB-231:37.58–8.99 μg/mL; BT474:25.27–9.09 μg/mL). In combination with chemotherapy, Pluronic-ATRA synergistically enhanced the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin (CDDP). Pluronic-ATRA combined with CDDP effectively suppressed breast tumor growth in vivo. The results of this study demonstrate the potential of Pluronic-ATRA as an anticancer agent that can be used in combination therapy against solid tumors.

Abstract
In the current study, retinoic acid (RA) was conjugated to Pluronic F127 (PF127) through an esterification process. Mixed micelles were formed with tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 (TPGS) for co-delivery of paclitaxel (PTX) and RA to the cancer cells. Mixed micelles of RA-PF127 and TPGS in different weight ratios (10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, 0:10 w/w) were prepared and physicochemical properties including, particle size, zeta potential, critical micelle concentration (CMC), drug loading content, entrapment efficiency, drug release, cellular uptake and in vitro cytotoxicity, were investigated in details. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetics of PTX-loaded optimized mixed micelles were evaluated in Sprague-Dawley rats and compared with Stragen® (PTX in Cremophor EL®). Particle sizes and zeta potentials of the drug-loaded micelles were in the range of 102.6-223.5 nm and -5.3 to -9.6 mV, respectively. The 7:3 and 5:5 micellar combinations had lower CMC values (0.034-0.042 mg/mL) than 0:10 (0.124 mg/mL). The entrapment efficiencies of 10:0, 7:3, and 5:5 were 53.4 ± 9.3%, 61.3 ± 0.5%, and 78.7 ± 1.66%, respectively. The release rates of PTX from 7:3 and 5:5 mixed micelles were significantly slower than other formulations. Cytotoxicity assay demonstrated increased cytotoxic activity of PTX-loaded mixed micelles compared to free PTX. The Vd and t1/2ß of PTX-loaded RA-PF127/TPGS (7:3) were increased by 2.61- and 1.27-fold, respectively, while the plasma area under the curve (AUC) of the micelles was 2.03-fold lower than those of Stragen®. Therefore, these novel mixed micelles could be effectively used for delivery of PTX and RA to the cancer cells. Moreover, TPGS as part of micelle composition could enhance the therapeutic effect of PTX and reduce side effects.

Abstract
AbstractThis chapter analyzes the advantages of the use of bioartificial polymers as carriers and the main strategies used for their design. Despite the enormous progresses in this field, more studies are required for the fully evaluation of these nanovectors in complex organisms and for the characterization of the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic of the loaded drugs. Moreover, progresses in polymer chemistry are introducing a wide range of functionalities in the bioartificial polymeric material (BPM) nanostructures leading to a second generation of bioartificial polymer therapeutics based on novel and heterogeneous architectures with higher molecular weight and predictable structures, in order to achieve greater multivalency and increased loading capacity. Therefore, research on bioartificial polymeric nanovectors is an “on-going” field capable of attracting medical interest.

Abstract
The continued evolution of biomedical nanotechnology has enabled clinicians to better detect, prevent, manage, and treat human disease. In order to further push the limits of nanoparticle performance and functionality, there has recently been a paradigm shift towards biomimetic design strategies. By taking inspiration from nature, the goal is to create next-generation nanoparticle platforms that can more effectively navigate and interact with the incredibly complex biological systems that exist within the body. Of great interest are cellular membranes, which play essential roles in biointerfacing, self-identification, signal transduction, and compartmentalization. In this review, we explore the major ways in which researchers have directly leveraged cell membrane-derived biomaterials for the fabrication of novel nanotherapeutics and nanodiagnostics. Such emerging technologies have the potential to significantly advance the field of nanomedicine, helping to improve upon traditional modalities while also enabling novel applications.

Abstract
We have developed active targeting liposomes to deliver anticancer agents to ASGPR which will contribute to effective treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Active targeting is achieved through polymeric ligands on the liposome surface. The liposomes were prepared using reverse phase evaporation method and doxorubicin hydrocholoride, a model drug, was loaded using the ammonium sulphate gradient method. Liposomes loaded with DOX were found to have a particle size of 200nm with more than 90% entrapment efficiency. Systems were observed to release the drug in a sustained manner in acidic pH in vitro. Liposomes containing targeting ligands possessed greater and selective toxicity to ASGPR positive HepG2 cell lines due to specific ligand receptor interaction. Bio-distribution studies revealed that liposomes were concentrated in the liver even after 3h of administration, thus providing conclusive evidence of targeting potential for formulated nanosystems. Tumor regression studies indicated greater tumor suppression with targeted liposomes thereby establishing superiority of the liposomal system. In this work, we used a novel methodology to guide the determination of the optimal composition of the targeting liposomes: molecular dynamics (MD) simulation that aided our understanding of the behaviour of the ligand within the bilayer. This can be seen as a demonstration of the utility of this methodology as a rational design tool for active targeting liposome formulation.

Abstract
Biodegradable polyester-based nanoparticles were prepared by the precipitation of amphiphilic graft copolymers, which were prepared by the ring-opening radical copolymerization of 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane (MDO) and amphiphilic macromonomers. The diameter of the nanoparticles was controlled by the degree of grafting and the molecular weight of the grafting oligomer. PMDO-g-poly(ethylene glycol) nanoparticles were degraded by the alkaline hydrolysis of the polyester backbone. Although the colloidal stability of nanoparticles was retained due to the reorientation of the PEG chains during hydrolysis, the size of the nanoparticles decreased with increasing hydrolysis time. We also prepared PMDO-g-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) nanoparticles, which show aggregation in response to increasing temperature.

Abstract
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) represent a large receptor family including collectins, selectins, lymphocyte lectins, and proteoglycans. CLRs share a structurally homologous carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD) and often bind carbohydrates in a Ca²⁺-dependent manner. In innate immunity, CLRs serve as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and bind to the glycan structures of pathogens and also to self-antigens. In nature, the low affinity of CLR/carbohydrate interactions is overcome by multivalent ligand presentation at the surface of cells or pathogens. Thus, multivalency is a promising strategy for targeting CLR-expressing cells and, indeed, carbohydrate-based targeting approaches have been employed for a number of CLRs, including asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) in the liver, or DC-SIGN expressed by dendritic cells. Since CLR engagement not only mediates endocytosis but also influences intracellular signaling pathways, CLR targeting may allow for cell-specific drug delivery and also the modulation of cellular functions. Glyconanoparticles, glycodendrimers, and glycoliposomes were successfully used as tools for CLR-specific targeting. This review will discuss different approaches for multivalent CLR ligand presentation and aims to highlight how CLR targeting has been employed for cell specific drug delivery. Major emphasis is directed towards targeting of CLRs expressed by antigen-presenting cells to modulate immune responses.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of magnetic nanoparticles of Fe3O4 (Fe3O4-MNPs) on the mice immune system. Imprinting control region (ICR) mice were assigned randomly into four groups and treated with normal saline or low, medium, or high doses of Fe3O4-MNPs, respectively. After intravenous administration of Fe3O4-MNPs for 72 hours, the peripheral T cells and the induction of primary immune responses in mice were investigated by flow cytometry and determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The results showed that the ratio of spleen to body weight was not different between the experimental groups and control group (P > 0.05). The lymphocyte transformation rates in the suspension of spleen were higher in low-dose group than those in the control group (P < 0.05), while the proliferation of splenocytes was low in the medium and high groups when compared to the control group (P < 0.05). In peripheral blood, both the proportions of subset CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in the low-dose group were higher than those in the control group, whereas there was no difference in the number of CD4+ T cells between the medium- and low-dose groups. Interestingly, the Fe3O4-MNPs enhanced the production of interleukin-2 (IL-2), interferon-γ, and IL-10 but did not affect the production of IL-4 in peripheral blood. It is concluded that Fe3O4-MNPs could influence immune functions of normal ICR mice in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Targeted delivery of a drug or gene to its site of action has clear therapeutic advantages by maximizing its therapeutic efficiency and minimizing its systemic toxicity. Generally, targeted drug or gene delivery is performed by loading a macromolecular carrier with an appropriate drug or gene, and by targeting the drug/gene carrier to specific cell or tissue with the help of specific targeting ligand. The emergence of glycobiology, glycotechnology, and glycomics and their continual adaptation by pharmaceutical scientists have opened exciting avenue of medicinal applications of carbohydrates. Among them, the biocompatibility and specific receptor recognition ability confer the ability of carbohydrates as potential targeting ligands for targeted drug and gene delivery applications. This review summarizes recent progress of carbohydrate-decorated targeted drug/gene delivery applications.

Abstract
Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles were stabilized using different functional polysaccharides, such as chitosan (CS), O-carboxymethylchitosan (OCMCS) and (N-succinyl-O-carboxymethylchitosan (NSOCMCS) to improve their bioactivity. The release profile and the in vitro cancer cell inhibition activity of camptothecin (CPT) loaded polysaccharide modified Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles were systematically studies. The particle size and size distribution of CPT-loaded polysaccharide modified Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles were found to be strongly dependent on polysaccharide character. Such polysaccharide character could also affect CPT adsorption efficiency, CPT release behavior and bovine serum albumin (BSA) unspecific binding capacity. After 24 h incubation of 7721 cancer cells with CPT-loaded polysaccharide modified Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles, significant changes in cell morphology could be discernible from phase contrast microscopy. Cytotoxicity assay showed these polysaccharide modified Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles did not exhibit noteworthy cytotoxicity against 7721, however, the in vitro inhibition rate of CPT-loaded polysaccharide modified Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles against 7721 liver cancer cell increased significantly in comparison with that of CPT-free drug.

Abstract
Galactosylated and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled polycaprolactone-g-dextran (Gal-PCL-g-Dex-FITC) polymers were synthesized. The grafted polymers can self-assemble into stable micelles in aqueous medium and in serum. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the self-assembled micelles were regularly spherical in shape. Micelle size determined by size analysis was around 120 nm. The anti-inflammation drug prednisone acetate as a model drug was loaded in the polymeric micelles, and the in vitro drug release was investigated. The galactosylated micelles could be selectively recognized by HepG2 cells and subsequently accumulate in HepG2 cells. The in vivo study demonstrated the relative uptake of the micelles by liver is much higher than the other tissues, indicating that the galactosylated micelles have great potential as a liver targeting drug carrier.

Abstract
Poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles, modified with both alendronate and polyethylene glycol (PEG), were prepared by dialysis method without additional surfactant to evaluate the potency of the bone-targeted drug delivery. Alendronate, a targeting moiety that has a strong affinity for bone, was conjugated to PLGA polymer via carbodiimide chemistry. Monomethoxy PEG(mPEG)-PLGA block copolymers with different molecular weights of mPEG (M(n) 550, 750, and 2000) were synthesized and used for a hydrophilic layer on the surface of the nanoparticles to avoid reticuloendothelial system (RES). The surface-modified PLGA nanoparticles with various ratios of alendronate and mPEG densities on their surface were evaluated by adsorption study onto hydroxyapatite (HA). It was confirmed that alendronate-modified nanoparticles had a strong and specific adsorption to HA. The amount of nanoparticles absorbed onto HA tended to be smaller when the content of alendronate was decreased and the large block length of mPEG was found to reduce the potency of alendronate.

Abstract
Although much effort has been extended to the efficient cancer therapies, the drug resistance is still a major obstacle in cancer chemotherapeutic treatments. Almost 90% of the cancer therapy failure is caused by the relative problems. Recently, the application of drug coated polymer nanospheres and nanoparticles to inhibit the related drug resistance has attracted much attention. In this report, we have explored a novel strategy to inhibit the multidrug resistance of the targeted tumor cells by combining the unique properties of tetraheptylammonium capped Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles with the drug accumulation of anticancer drug daunorubicin. Our results of confocal fluorescence and atomic force microscopy (AFM) as well as electrochemical studies demonstrate the remarkable synergistic effect of Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles on drug uptake of daunorubicin in leukemia K562 cells. These observations indicate that the interaction between the magnetic nanoparticles Fe(3)O(4) and biologically active molecules on the membrane of leukemia cell lines may contribute to their beneficial effect on cellular uptake so that the synergistic enhanced effect of magnetic nanoparticles Fe(3)O(4) on drug uptake of drug resistance leukemia K562 cells could be observed upon application of the Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles.

Abstract
Two retinoids, ATRA and 13cisRA, were incorporated into liposomes of different composition and charge and added to two hepatoma cell lines with different degree of transformation to measure cytotoxicity by MTT assay. Retinoid-free cationic liposomes were more toxic than the other kinds (anionic and made only of PC) but were also the best delivery system for retinoic acid to induce specific cytotoxic effects on these tumor hepatoma cell lines. Galactosyl-sphingosine containing cationic liposomes increased the cytotoxic effect induced by ATRA on Hep3B cells when compared to glucosyl-sphingosine cationic liposomes, but did not improve the effect induced by free retinoid or ATRA loaded into liposomes without glycolipids. This suggests that in this cell line, ATRA is being incorporated by a mechanism mediated by the asialoglycoprotein receptor, but at the same time, non-specific sugar-independent capture is also taking place as well as free diffusion of ATRA directly through the membrane. Galactose-specific effect was not observed in HepG2 cells treated with ATRA or both cell lines treated with 13cisRA. In fact, treatment of HepG2 cells with retinoids entrapped into liposomes likely induces proliferation instead of cytotoxicity, a result that interferes with the measurement of cell death by MTT. Compared to the specific effect of ATRA entrapped into cationic liposomes, vesicles made only by PC, did not mediate a specific mechanism, since differences between ATRA in galactosyl- and glucosyl-shpingosine PC-liposomes were not statistically significant. The specific mechanism was not present in the myoblastic cell line C2C12, where ATRA incorporated into galactosyl- and glucosyl-sphingosine containing cationic and PC-liposomes, was able to induce cytotoxicity at the same extent. Micelles containing ATRA and galactosyl-sphingosine had a significantly more toxic effect than the retinoid administered together with glucosyl-sphingosine, in Hep3B cells. Also, micelles containing ATRA were more toxic than glycolipid-containing liposomes with ATRA, for both kinds of sphingosines. The same effect was not observed in C2C12 cells, where glycolipid-containing liposomes worked better than micelles, and a sugar-specific mechanism was not seen. This suggests that, even though galactose-containing cationic liposomes could be a promising approach, a galactose-specific emulsion system could be the best strategy to specifically deliver retinoic acid to liver tumor cells, since it shows tissue specificity (perhaps induced by ASGPR-mediated internalization) and a stronger cytotoxic effect than the retinoid incorporated into liposomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to demonstrate specific receptor-mediated targeting of phagocytes by functional surface coatings of microparticles, shielding from nonspecific phagocytosis and allowing ligand-specific interactions via molecular recognition. METHODS Coatings of the comb polymer poly(L-lysine)-g-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG) were investigated for potential to inhibit 1) nonspecific spreading of human blood-derived macrophages (MOs) and dendritic cells (DCs) on glass and 2) nonspecific phagocytosis of PLL-g-PEG-coated, carboxylated polystyrene (PS) or biodegradable poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres. Coating was performed by adsorption of positively charged PLL-g-PEG on negatively charged microparticles or plasma-cleaned glass through electrostatic interaction. The feasibility of ligand-specific interactions was tested with a model ligand, RGD, conjugated to PEG chains of PLL-g-PEG to form PLL-g-PEG-RGD and compared with inactive ligand conjugate, PLL-g-PEG-RDG. RESULTS Coatings with PLL-g-PEG largely impaired the adherence and spreading of MOs and DCs on glass. The repellent character of PLL-g-PEG coatings drastically reduced phagocytosis of coated PS and PLGA microparticles to 10% in presence of serum. With both MOs and DCs, we observed ligand-specific interactions with PLL-g-PEG-RGD coatings on glass and PS and PLGA microspheres. Ligand specificity was abolished when using inactive ligand conjugate PLL-g-PEG-RDG, whereas repellency of coating was maintained. CONCLUSIONS Coatings of PLL-g-PEG-ligand conjugates provide a novel technology for ligand specific targeting of microspheres to MOs and DCs while reducing nonspecific phagocytosis.

Abstract
Poly(L-lactide)-based microspheres having cationic or anionic surfaces were prepared using polydepsipeptide-block-poly(L-lactide)s as surfactants. Polydepsipeptide-block-poly(L-lactide)s having amino or carboxylic acid groups on their side chains were synthesized through anionic ring-opening polymerizations of L-lactide using the corresponding protected polydepsipeptides as macroinitiators and consequent deprotections. Since these amphiphilic copolymers consisting of hydrophobic segments and hydrophilic segments with amino or carboxylic acid groups could be converted to cationic or anionic block copolymers, they could act as surfactants preparing poly(L-lactide)-based microspheres by an oil-in-water emulsion method. The amount of ionic groups located on the surfaces of the obtained microspheres was found to increase with increasing the feed of charged polydepsipeptide-block-poly(L-lactide)s in the blend of poly(L-lactide) and block copolymers. The average diameters of the dried microspheres estimated by scanning electron microscopy were found to decrease with an increase in feed of block copolymers in polymer blends.
