Abstract
Nanotechnology has resulted in materials that have greatly improved the effectiveness of drug delivery because of their ability to control matter on the nanoscale. Advanced forms of nanomedicine have been synthesized for better pharmacokinetics to obtain higher efficacy, less systemic toxicity, and better targeting. These criteria have long been the goal in nanomedicine, in particular, for systemic applications in oncological disorders. Now, the "holy grail" in nanomedicine is to design and synthesize new advanced macromolecular nanocarriers and to translate them from lab to clinic. This review describes the current and future perspectives of nanomedicine with particular emphasis on the clinical targets in cancer and inflammation. The advanced forms of liposomes and polyethylene glycol (PEG) based nanocarriers, as well as dendritic polymer conjugates will be discussed with particular attention paid to designs, synthetic strategies, and chemical pathways. In this critical review, we also report on the current status and perspective of dendritic polymer nanoconjugate platforms (e.g. polyamidoamine dendrimers and dendritic polyglycerols) for cellular localization and targeting of specific tissues (192 references).

Abstract
W39F, F52Y, S98G, S98A, and S98C mutants of the neocarzinostatin apoprotein (apo-NCS) were newly prepared and investigated their physicochemical properties. The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of F78W, F52Y, S98A, S98G, S98C were superimposable with that of wild type 1R49 protein although the minor spectral change seemed to be in the ellipticity of W39F. The results suggest that position 52, 78, and 98 involving natural chromophore binding do not play a major role in the inducing overall structural changes of the protein. Conversely, the position 39 would be affected slightly. Ethidium bromide (EtdBr) binding to mutants was also evaluated by the monitoring of total fluorescence intensity and fluorescence polarization (FP). The observed dissociation constant in the FP study was 4.4 microM for wild type, 2.2 microM for S98A, 1.3 microM for S98G, 9.7 microM for S98C, respectively. When S98G and F52Y, the calculated maximum change of the total fluorescence intensity was increased, suggesting that the EtdBr binding to S98G or F52Y were slightly improved compared with the wild type. Then, a total of 14 amino acids randomly substituted phage displayed library of apo-NCS was successfully prepared, because substitution of the amino acid structured the chromophore-binding cavity were not change the overall structural features. The phages which bound glycyrrhetic acid conjugated bovine serum albumin were enriched from this library using phage display technique as the pilot experiments. Although more precision investigation still needs, it should be possible to select variants that have new functions not found in nature.

Abstract
The intricate problems associated with the delivery and various unnecessary in vivo transitions of proteins and drugs needs to be tackled soon to be able to exploit the myriad of putative therapeutics created by the biotechnology boom. Nanomedicine is one of the most promising applications of nanotechnology in the field of medicine. It has been defined as the monitoring, repair, construction and control of human biological systems at the molecular level using engineered nanodevices and nanostructures. These nanostructured medicines will eventually turn the world of drug delivery upside down. PEGylation (i.e. the attachment of polyethylene glycol to proteins and drugs) is an upcoming methodology for drug development and it has the potential to revolutionise medicine by drastically improving the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the administered drug. This article provides a total strategy for improving the therapeutic efficacy of various biotechnological products in drug delivery. This article also presents an extensive analysis of most of the PEGylated proteins, peptides and drugs, together with extensive clinical data. Nanomedicines and PEGylation, the latest offshoots of nanotechnology will definitely pave a way in the field of drug delivery where targeted delivery, formulation, in vivo stability and retention are the major challenges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apoptosis is a crucial element in the behavior of mammalian cells in many different situations. We here report the establishment of a novel monoclonal antibody (anti-LHK mAb) that has apoptosis-inducing activity against colon cancer Colo205 cells. METHODS The mechanism of anti-LHK mAb-induced cell death was assessed by microscopic morphology, Annexin V/Hoechst 33528 staining, and detection of DNA fragmentation. The molecular weight of LHK antigen was determined by Western blotting. Growth inhibition of Colo205 cells induced by anti-LHK mAb was determined by in vitro and in vivo studies. RESULTS Anti-LHK reacted with a 70-kDa antigen and completely blocked the proliferation of Colo205 cells bearing LHK in vitro in a manner characteristic of apoptosis. Strikingly, anti-LHK mAb suppressed tumor growth in a murine peritoneal dissemination model. CONCLUSIONS LHK antigen, which is restricted to epithelial cells, may be a novel death receptor that plays a critical role in controlling the growth, invasion, and metastasis of human colon cancer cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE We analyzed the effect of intraperitoneal immunotherapy in an animal model mimicking locoregional dissemination of tumor cells during resection of advanced tumors. METHODS We first established a tumor model with human gastric cancer cells (MKN-45) in the peritoneal cavity of CB-17-SCID mice. Three hours following the injection of tumor cells into the peritoneal cavity, mAb 17-1A alone and in combination with human LAK cells were given intraperitoneally at different dosages. The results were quantified by determining the weight of the peritoneal tumor masses. RESULTS After intraperitoneal administration of 17-1A mAb, a tumor reduction could be shown (median tumor mass after 10 microg mAb: 171 microg; after 100 microg: 130 microg) when compared with the control group (632 microg). Following a combined therapy with mAb and LAK cells, a statistically significant tumor reduction could be observed (after 10 microg mAb + 20-50 x 10(6) LAK cells: 80 microg; after 100 microg mAb + 20-50 x 10(6) LAK cells: 12 microg, p = 0.0005). With specific dosages of antibody and LAK cells it was even possible to achieve complete tumor clearance. CONCLUSIONS Intraperitoneal immunotherapy reduces the peritoneal tumor masses and can even prevent the peritoneal carcinomatosis formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The approval of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) as antibody-targeted therapy in the management of patients with hematologic malignancies has led to new treatment options for this group of patients. The ability to target antibodies to novel functional receptors can increase their therapeutic efficacy. METHODS The authors reviewed improvements in MAb design to enhance their effectiveness over the existing therapeutic MAb currently approved for treating hematologic malignancies. RESULTS Three classes of therapeutic MAbs showing promise in human clinical trials for treatment of hematologic malignancies include unconjugated MAb, drug conjugates in which the antibody preferentially delivers a potent cytotoxic drug to the tumor, and radioactive immunotherapy in which the antibody delivers a sterilizing dose of radiation to the tumor. CONCLUSIONS A better appreciation of how MAbs are metabolized in the body and localized to tumors is resulting in the development of new antibody constructs with improved biodistribution profiles.

Abstract
We established a new cell line, NUGC-3P4T, with high peritoneal metastatic disseminating potential in nude mice. NUGC-3P4T cells were derived from the human gastric carcinoma line NUGC-3, which has low capacity for peritoneal dissemination. NUGC-3P4T cells developed peritoneal dissemination in 10 / 10 (100%) mice, whereas the parental NUGC-3 cells developed dissemination in 1 / 5 (20.0%) mice. The metastatic foci in the peritoneum showed essentially the same histological appearance as those induced by parental cells. The tumorigenicity, the motile activity and the adhesive activity to the laminin of NUGC-3P4T cells were stronger than those of NUGC-3 cells. Production of IL-8 was significantly higher in NUGC-3P4T than in NUGC-3. cDNA macroarrays analysis showed that a variety of cytokines, interleukins, and other immunomodulators and their receptors were up- or down-regulated at the mRNA level in NUGC-3P4T cells, compared with NUGC-3 cells. Thus, this unique cell line and in vivo model might be useful to study the biology of peritoneal dissemination of human gastric cancer.

Abstract
We established a new cell line, AZ-P7a, with high peritoneal-metastatic potential in nude mice. AZ-P7a cells were derived from the human gastric carcinoma line AZ-521, which has low capacity for peritoneal dissemination. AZ-P7a cells developed peritoneal metastasis in 11 / 14 (78.6%) mice, whereas the parental AZ-521 cells developed metastasis in 2 / 6 (33.3%) mice. The metastatic foci in the peritoneum showed essentially the same histological appearance as those induced by parental cells. The tumorigenicity and the motile activity of AZ-P7a cells were stronger than those of the parental AZ-521 cells; in contrast, adhesion to the extracellular matrix and the production of vascular endothelial growth factor by AZ-P7a cells were decreased. In fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis, AZ-P7a cells expressed significantly greater levels of integrins alpha2, alpha3, alpha5, alpha6 and alphavbeta5, as compared with AZ-521 cells. However, alpha1, alpha4, alphavbeta3, hCD44H, hCD44v3, hCD44v6 and hCD44v10 were not expressed in either cell line. AZ-P7a cells developed no liver metastasis when administered by the intrasplenic injection method, though the highly liver metastatic cell line AZ-H5c showed the same rate of peritoneal dissemination as that exhibited by AZ-P7a cells after intraabdominal injection. These findings suggested that the mechanism of peritoneal dissemination differed from that of hematogenous metastasis. Moreover, the latter appears to be controlled by more complex mechanisms than the former. Thus, this cell line might be useful for investigating the mechanism of peritoneal dissemination of human gastric cancer.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies directed to tumor-associated antigens have been chemically conjugated to drugs with different mechanisms of action and different levels of potency. Monoclonal-antibody-directed drug delivery has the potential to both improve efficacy and reduce systemic toxicity. Several immunoconjugates have demonstrated impressive antigen-specific antitumor activity in preclinical models. Phase I trials of a calicheamicin immunoconjugate for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and a doxorubicin immunoconjugate for treatment of carcinoma have recently been completed.

Abstract
This review is a survey of various approaches to targeting cytotoxic anticancer drugs to tumors primarily through biomolecules expressed by cancer cells or associated vasculature and stroma. These include monoclonal antibody immunoconjugates; enzyme prodrug therapies, such as antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy, gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy, and bacterial-directed enzyme prodrug therapy; and metabolism-based therapies that seek to exploit increased tumor expression of, e.g., proteases, low-density lipoprotein receptors, hormones, and adhesion molecules. Following a discussion of factors that positively and negatively affect drug delivery to solid tumors, we concentrate on a mechanistic understanding of selective drug release or generation at the tumor site.
