Kim GG, Lee H, Jeong DB, Kim SW, So JS. Long-Term Tumor-Targeting Effect of E. coli as a Drug Delivery System. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:421. [PMID: 38675383 PMCID: PMC11053500 DOI: 10.3390/ph17040421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
To overcome the limitations of current nano/micro-scale drug delivery systems, an Escherichia coli (E. coli)-based drug delivery system could be a potential alternative, and an effective tumor-targeting delivery system can be developed by attempting to perform chemical binding to the primary amine group of a cell membrane protein. In addition, positron emission tomography (PET) is a representative non-invasive imaging technology and is actively used in the field of drug delivery along with radioisotopes capable of long-term tracking, such as zirconium-89 (89Zr). The membrane proteins were labeled with 89Zr using chelate (DFO), and not only was the long-term biodistribution in tumors and major organs evaluated in the body, but the labeling stability of 89Zr conjugated to the membrane proteins was also evaluated through continuous tracking. E. coli accumulated at high levels in the tumor within 5 min (initial time) after tail intravenous injection, and when observed after 6 days, 89Zr-DFO on the surface of E. coli was found to be stable for a long period of time in the body. In this study, we demonstrated the long-term biodistribution and tumor-targeting effect of an E. coli-based drug delivery system and verified the in vivo stability of radioisotopes labeled on the surface of E. coli.

Abstract
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a natural protective membrane that prevents central nervous system (CNS) from toxins and pathogens in blood. However, the presence of BBB complicates the pharmacotherapy for CNS disorders as the most chemical drugs and biopharmaceuticals have been impeded to enter the brain. Insufficient drug delivery into the brain leads to low therapeutic efficacy as well as aggravated side effects due to the accumulation in other organs and tissues. Recent breakthrough in materials science and nanotechnology provides a library of advanced materials with customized structure and property serving as a powerful toolkit for targeted drug delivery. In-depth research in the field of anatomical and pathological study on brain and BBB further facilitates the development of brain-targeted strategies for enhanced BBB crossing. In this review, the physiological structure and different cells contributing to this barrier are summarized. Various emerging strategies for permeability regulation and BBB crossing including passive transcytosis, intranasal administration, ligands conjugation, membrane coating, stimuli-triggered BBB disruption, and other strategies to overcome BBB obstacle are highlighted. Versatile drug delivery systems ranging from organic, inorganic, and biologics-derived materials with their synthesis procedures and unique physio-chemical properties are summarized and analyzed. This review aims to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive guideline for researchers in diverse fields, offering perspectives on further development of brain-targeted drug delivery system.

Abstract
Malignant gliomas are a type of primary brain tumour that originates in glial cells. Among them, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and the most aggressive brain tumour in adults, classified as grade IV by the World Health Organization. The standard care for GBM, known as the Stupp protocol includes surgical resection followed by oral chemotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ). This treatment option provides a median survival prognosis of only 16-18 months to patients mainly due to tumour recurrence. Therefore, enhanced treatment options are urgently needed for this disease. Here we show the development, characterization, and in vitro and in vivo evaluation of a new composite material for local therapy of GBM post-surgery. We developed responsive nanoparticles that were loaded with paclitaxel (PTX), and that showed penetration in 3D spheroids and cell internalization. These nanoparticles were found to be cytotoxic in 2D (U-87 cells) and 3D (U-87 spheroids) models of GBM. The incorporation of these nanoparticles into a hydrogel facilitates their sustained release in time. Moreover, the formulation of this hydrogel containing PTX-loaded responsive nanoparticles and free TMZ was able to delay tumour recurrence in vivo after resection surgery. Therefore, our formulation represents a promising approach to develop combined local therapies against GBM using injectable hydrogels containing nanoparticles.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a physical/biochemical barrier that protects brain parenchyma from potential hazards exerted by different xenobiotics found in the systemic circulation. This barrier is created by "a lipophilic gate" as well as a series of highly organized influx/efflux mechanisms. The BBB bottleneck adversely affects the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents in treating different CNS malignancies such as glioblastoma, an aggressive type of cancer affecting the brain. In the present study, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were conjugated with the transactivator of transcription (TAT) peptide, a cell-penetrating peptide, to produce MSN-NH-TAT with the aim of improving methotrexate (MTX) penetration into the brain. The TAT-modified nanosystem was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and N2 adsorption-desorption analysis. In vitro hemolysis and cell viability studies confirmed the biocompatibility of the MSN-based nanocarriers. In addition, in vivo studies showed that the MTX-loaded MSN-NH-TAT improved brain-to-plasma concentration ratio, brain uptake clearance, and the drug's blood terminal half-life, compared with the use of free MTX. Taken together, the results of the present study indicate that MSN functionalization with TAT is crucial for delivery of MTX into the brain. The present nanosystem represents a promising alternative drug carrier to deliver MTX into the brain via overcoming the BBB.

Abstract
Exposure to diesel particulate matter (DPM) is associated with several adverse health effects, including severe respiratory diseases. Quantitative analysis of DPM in vivo can provide important information on the behavior of harmful chemicals, as well as their toxicological impacts in living subjects. This study presents whole-body images and tissue distributions of DPM in animal models, using molecular imaging and radiolabeling techniques. The self-assembly of the 89Zr-labeled pyrene analog with a suspension of DPM efficiently produced 89Zr-incorporated DPM (89Zr-DPM). Positron emission tomography images were obtained for mice exposed to 89Zr-DPM via three administration routes: intratracheal, oral, and intravenous injection. DPM was largely distributed in the lungs and only slowly cleared after 7 days in mice exposed via the intratracheal route. In addition, a portion of 89Zr-DPM was translocated to other organs, such as the heart, spleen, and liver. Uptake values in these organs were also noticeable following exposure via the intravenous route. In contrast, most of the orally administered DPM was excreted quickly within a day. These results suggest that continuous inhalation exposure to DPM causes serious lung damage and may cause toxic effects in the extrapulmonary organs.

Abstract
Synthetic nanocarriers are a promising therapeutic delivery strategy. However, these systems are often hampered by inherent disadvantages such as strong biotoxicity and poor biocompatibility. To overcome these issues, biological carriers with commonly used chemotherapy drugs have been developed. In this work, engineered bacterial ghosts (BGs) originated from probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) were devised to specifically target acidic extracellular environments of tumor tissue. To improve the production efficiency and safety, a novel lysis protein E from phage α3 was applied to produce EcN BGs under high growth densities in high quality. In addition, the acidity-triggered rational membrane (ATRAM) peptides were displayed in EcN BGs to facilitate specific cancer cell internalization within the acidic tumor microenvironment before drug release. In conclusion, the engineered EcN BGs offer a promising means for bionic bacteria construction for hepatocellular carcinoma therapy.

Abstract
Cell membrane-camouflaged biomimetic functionalization of nanoparticles has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer theranostics. These cell membranes used for camouflaging are generally isolated from natural or engineered erythrocytes, neutrophils, macrophages, T lymphatic cells, stem cells, and cancer cells. The camouflaging strategy of coating nanoparticles with cell membranes allows for tumor homotypic targeting through self-recognition as source cells, immune evasion, and a prolonged blood circulation time, thereby improving the effective payload delivery and tumor therapy. More so, some engineered cell membranes with functionalized peptides, proteins and moieties on membrane surface can be transferred for therapy in the same time. In this review, we summarize the latest research on various types of cell membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles aimed at anti-cancer therapy, focusing on the biological advantages of different cell membranes, constitutions of nanoparticles, fabrication processes, key findings, potential therapies, and discuss the major challenges and future opportunities.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by infection, with high incidence and mortality. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out an effective anti-infection treatment. In this work, we designed and synthesized red blood cell (RBC) membrane-coated PLGA nanoparticles named γ3-RBCNPs, which target the highly expressed intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) at the site of infection through the γ3 peptide on its surface and kill the Klebsiella pneumoniae through ciprofloxacin encapsulated in its core. In addition, the homogenous RBC membrane coated on the surface of the nanoparticles helps them avoid immune surveillance and prolong the circulation time of the drug in the body. We found that the γ3-RBCNPs target human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) activated by TNF-α in vitro and the infected lung of mice in the sepsis model very well. In vitro evaluation suggested that γ3-RBCNPs have a low risk of acute hemolysis and are less likely to be engulfed by macrophages. In vivo evaluation showed that γ3-RBCNPs has a long half-life and good bio-safety. More importantly, we confirmed that γ3-RBCNPs have the good antibacterial and anti-infection ability in vivo and in vitro. Our research provides a new strategy for the nano-drug treatment of Klebsiella pneumoniae-induced sepsis.

[PMID: 35564251 PMCID: PMC9104043 DOI: 10.3390/nano12091543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
In the last decades, many nanovectors were developed for different diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. However, most nanosystems have been designed using a “bottom-up” approach, in which the basic components of the nanovector become assembled to achieve complex and specific behaviors. Despite the fine control of formulative conditions, the complexity of these systems often results cumbersome and difficult to scale-up. Recently, biomimetic materials emerged as a complementary or alternative design approach through a “top-down strategy”, using cell-derived materials as building blocks to formulate innovative nanovectors. The use of cell membranes as nanoparticle coatings endows nanomaterials with the biological identity and some of the functions of the cells they are derived from. In this review, we discuss some of the latest examples of membrane coated and membrane-derived biomimetic nanomaterials and underline the common general functions offered by the biomaterials used. From these examples, we suggest a systematic classification of these biomimetic materials based on their biological sources and formulation techniques, with their respective advantages and disadvantages, and summarize the current technologies used for membranes isolation and integration on nanovectors. We also discuss some current technical limitations and hint to future direction of the improvement for biomimetics.

Abstract
Cell membrane vesicles (CMVs) are composed of natural cell membranes which makes them effective drug delivery systems with low immunogenicity and prolonged circulation time. However, targeting delivery of CMVs in vivo for clinical applications is still a major challenge. In this study, CXCR4 recombinant lentivirus is transfected into MC-3T3 cells and membrane CXCR4-enriched MC-3T3 cells are obtained. CMVs with enriched membrane CXCR4 display (CXCR4-CMVs) are obtained from the transfected MC-3T3 cells. Curcumin, an effective natural anti-inflammatory compound, is encapsulated into CXCR4-CMVs through physical entrapment (CXCR4/Cur-CMVs), with the membrane integrity of CXCR4/Cur-CMVs being well-preserved. CXCR4/Cur-CMVs induce enhanced M2 macrophage polarization, exhibit anti-inflammatory effects, and significantly improve homing via the CXCR4/CXCL12 axis in vitro. Utilizing ulcerative colitis and apical periodontitis as inflammatory disease models, it is found that CXCR4/Cur-CMVs are obviously aggregated within inflammatory areas after intravenous administration, which results in significant amelioration of ulcerative colitis and apical periodontitis. Therefore, this research may provide a feasible and innovative approach for fabricating an inflammatory site-targeting delivery system, by engineering CMVs to increase membrane-presenting CXCR4 receptor.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica (MS) particles have been explored for various healthcare applications, but universal data about their safety and/or toxicity are yet to be well-established for clinical purposes. Information about general toxicity of hollow MS (HMS) particles and about immunotoxicity of MS particles are significantly lacked. Therefore, acute toxicity and immunotoxicity of HMS particles were experimentally evaluated. A systematic and objective literature study was parallelly performed to analyze the published in vivo toxicity of MS particles. Lethal acute toxicity of MS particles is likely to arise from their physical action after intravenous and intraperitoneal administrations, and only rarely observed after subcutaneous administration. No clear relationship was identified between physicochemical properties of MS particles and lethality as well as maximum tolerated dose with some exceptions. At sub-lethal doses, MS particles tend to accumulate mainly in lung, liver, and spleen. The HMS particles showed lower inflammation-inducing ability than polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid and almost the same allergy-inducing ability as Alum. Finally, the universal lowest observed adverse effect levels were determined as 0.45, 0.81, and 4.1 mg/kg (human equivalent dose) for intravenous, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous administration of MS particles, respectively. These results could be helpful for determining an appropriate MS particle dose in clinical study.

Abstract
The present review sets out to discuss recent developments of the effects and mechanisms of carrier properties on their circulation time. For most drugs, sufficient in vivo circulation time is the basis of high bioavailability. Drug carrier plays an irreplaceable role in helping drug avoid being quickly recognized and cleared by mononuclear phagocyte system, to give drug enough time to arrive at targeted organ and tissue to play its therapeutic effect. The physical and chemical properties of drug carriers, such as size, shape, surface charge and surface modification, would affect their in vivo circulation time, metabolic behavior and biodistribution. The final circulation time of carriers is determined by the balance between macrophage recognitions, blood vessel penetration and urine excretion. Therefore, when designing the drug delivery system, we should pay much attention to the properties of drug carriers to get enough in vivo circulation time to arrive at target site eventually. This article mainly reviews the effect of carrier size, size, surface charge and surface properties on its circulation time in vivo, and discusses the mechanism of these properties affecting circulation time. This review has reference significance for the research of long-circulation drug delivery system.

Abstract
This study evaluated the in vivo behavior and accumulation of silica particles in the form of wires, which were actively studied as drug carriers along with spheres, using positron emission tomography (PET). Wire-shaped silicon dioxide (SiO2) was synthesized at micro-size, using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO), a template, and folic acid (FA), which specifically binds folate receptors (FR) which are overexpressed in many cancers, and which was bound to the wire’s surface to confirm its possible use as a cancer diagnostic agent. In addition, for evaluation using PET, the positron-emitting nuclide 89Zr (t1/2 = 3.3 days) was directly bonded to the hydroxyl group (-OH) on the particle surface. The diameter and shape of the synthesized silica microwires (SMWs) were confirmed using SEM and TEM, the chemical bonding of FA was confirmed through FT–IR and NMR, and the labeling of 89Zr was measured by means of radio-thin-layer chromatography (TLC) measurement. Folic acid-conjugated SMWs (FA-SMWs) were found to have a low receptor-mediated uptake in cell internalization evaluation, but in PET studies, FA-SMWs stayed longer at the tumor site. In conclusion, we successfully synthesized a homogeneous silica microwire for drug delivery, we confirmed that the FA-conjugated sample remains at the tumor site for a relatively longer time, and we have reported the characteristic in vivo behavior of 89Zr-FA-SMWs.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based therapeutic and detectable modalities can augment anticancer efficiency, holding potential in capable target and suppressive metastases post administration. However, the individual discrepancies of the current "one-size-fits-all" strategies for anticancer nanotherapeutics have heralded the need for "personalized therapy". Benefiting from the special inherency of various cells, diverse cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CMCNs) were established on a patient-by-patient basis, which would facilitate the personalized treatment of individual cancer patients. CMCNs in a complex microenvironment can evade the immune system and target homologous tumors with a suppressed immune response, as well as a prolonged circulation time, consequently increasing the drug accumulation at the tumor site and anticancer therapeutic efficacy. This review focuses on the emerging strategies and advances of CMCNs to synergistically integrate the merit of source cells with nanoparticulate delivery systems for the orchestration of personalized anticancer nanotherapeutics, thus discussing their rationalities in facilitating chemotherapy, imaging, immunotherapy, phototherapy, radiotherapy, sonodynamic, magnetocaloric, chemodynamic and gene therapy. Furthermore, the mechanism, challenges and opportunities of CMCNs in personalized anticancer therapy were highlighted to further boost cooperation from different fields, including materials science, chemistry, medicine, pharmacy and biology for the lab-to-clinic translation of CMCNs combined with the individual advantages of source cells and nanotherapeutics.

Abstract
Over the years, extensive studies on erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells (RBCs), as a mechanism for drug delivery, have been explored mainly because the cell itself is the most abundant and has astonishing properties such as a long life span of 100-120 days, low immunogenicity, good biocompatibility, and flexibility. There are various types of RBC-based systems for drug delivery, including those that are genetically engineered, non-genetically engineered RBCs, as well as employing erythrocyte as nanocarriers for drug loading. Although promising, these systems are still in an early development stage. In this review, we aimed to highlight the development of biomimicking RBC-based drug and vaccine delivery systems, as well as the loading methods with illustrative examples. Drug-erythrocyte associations will also be discussed and highlighted in this review. We have highlighted the possibility of exploiting erythrocytes for the sustained delivery of drugs and vaccines, encapsulation of these biological agents within the erythrocyte or coupling to the surface of carrier erythrocytes, and provided insights on genetically- and non-genetically engineered erythrocytes-based strategies. Erythrocytes have been known as effective cellular carriers for therapeutic moieties for several years. Herein, we outline various loading methods that can be used to reap the benefits of these natural carriers. It has been shown that drugs and vaccines can be delivered via erythrocytes but it is important to select appropriate methods for increasing the drug encapsulated or conjugated on the surface of the erythrocyte membrane. The outlined examples will guide the selection of the most effective method as well as the impact of using erythrocytes as delivery systems for drugs and vaccines.

Abstract
Interaction of conventional drug delivery systems such as polymeric or lipid based nano- and microparticles with the in vivo milieu has garnered significant interest, primarily to orchestrate immune escape and/or improve targeting. Surface modification with targeting ligands has been heavily relied upon for the mentioned purpose in the recent years. However, the surface modified particles can also activate the immune system. Large-scale manufacturing can also be a challenge, as surface modification needs to be reproducible. Furthermore, in vivo, the targeting is dependent on the receptor expression density and number of target sites, which adds to the pharmacokinetic variability of the constructs. An evolving paradigm to overcome complications of surface functionalization is the incorporation of bio-inspired topographies into these conventional delivery systems to enable them to better interact with biological systems. Biomimetic delivery systems combine the unique surface composition of cells or cell membranes, and versatility of synthetic nanoparticles. In this review, we focus on one such delivery system, silica particles, and explore their interaction with different biological membranes.

Abstract
Despite the ability of microbubble contrast agents to improve ultrasound diagnostic performance, their application potential is limited due to low stability, fast clearance, and poor tissue permeation. This study presents a promising nanosized phase-changeable erythrocyte (Sonocyte), composed of liposomal dodecafluoropentane coated with multilayered red blood cell membranes (RBCm), for improving ultrasound assessments. Sonocyte is the first RBCm-functionalized ultrasound contrast agent with uniform nanosized morphology, and exhibits good stability, systemic circulation, target-tissue accumulation, and even ultrasound-responsive phase transition, thereby satisfying the inherent requirement of ultrasound imaging. It is identified that Sonocyte displays similar sensitivity as microbubble SonoVue, a clinical ultrasound contrast agent, for effectively detecting normal parenchyma and hepatic necrosis. Importantly, compared with SonoVue lacking of ability to detect tumors, Sonocyte can identify tumors with high sensitivity and specificity due to superior tumor accumulation and penetration. Therefore, Sonocyte exhibits superior capabilities over SonoVue, endowing with a great clinical application potential.

Tumor Targeting Effect of Triphenylphosphonium Cations and Folic Acid Coated with Zr-89-Labeled Silica Nanoparticles. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25122922. [PMID: 32630467 PMCID: PMC7357004 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25122922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 06/19/2020] [Accepted: 06/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the tumor targeting effect in cancer cells using triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cations, which are accumulated by differences in membrane potential, and folic acid (FA), which is selectively bound to overexpressed receptors on various cancer cells. We used Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved silica nanoparticles (SNPs) as drug carriers, and SNPs conjugated with TPP and FA (STFs) samples were prepared by introducing different amounts of TPP and FA onto the nanoparticle surfaces. STF-1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are named according to the combination ratio of TPP and FA on the particle surface. To confirm the tumor targeting effect, 89Zr (t1/2 = 3.3 days) was coordinated directly to the silanol group of SNP surfaces without chelators. It was shown that the radiochemical yield was 69% and radiochemical purity was >99%. In the cellular uptake evaluation, SNPs with the most TPP (SFT-5) and FA (SFT-1) attached indicated similar uptake tendencies for mouse colon cancer cells (CT-26). However, the results of the cell internalization assay and measurement of positron emission tomography (PET) images showed that SFT-5 had more affinity for the CT-26 tumor than other samples the TPP ratio of which was lower. Consequently, we confirmed that TPP ligands affect target cancer cells more than FA, which means that cell membrane potential is significantly effective for tumor targeting.

Abstract
Nanotechnology-based drug delivery platforms have been developed over the last two decades because of their favorable features in terms of improved drug bioavailability and stability. Despite recent advancement in nanotechnology platforms, this approach still falls short to meet the complexity of biological systems and diseases, such as avoiding systemic side effects, manipulating biological interactions and overcoming drug resistance, which hinders the therapeutic outcomes of the NP-based drug delivery systems. To address these issues, various strategies have been developed including the use of engineered cells and/or cell membrane-coated nanocarriers. Cell membrane receptor profiles and characteristics are vital in performing therapeutic functions, targeting, and homing of either engineered cells or cell membrane-coated nanocarriers to the sites of interest. In this context, we comprehensively discuss various cell- and cell membrane-based drug delivery approaches towards cancer therapy, the therapeutic potential of these strategies, and the limitations associated with engineered cells as drug carriers and cell membrane-associated drug nanocarriers. Finally, we review various cell types and cell membrane receptors for their potential in targeting, immunomodulation and overcoming drug resistance in cancer.

[PMID: 31874237 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymeth.2019.12.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2019] [Revised: 12/17/2019] [Accepted: 12/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Synthetic nanoparticles are extensively utilized in various biomedical engineering fields because of their unique physicochemical properties. However, their exogenous characteristics result in synthetic nanosystem invaders that easily induce the passive immune clearance mechanism, thereby increasing the retention effect caused by reticuloendothelial system (RES), resulting in low therapeutic efficacy and toxic effects. Recently, a cell membrane cloaking has been emerging technique as a novel interfacing approach from the biological/immunological perspective. This has been considered as useful technique for improving the performance of synthetic nanocarriers in vivo. By cell membrane cloaking, nanoparticles acquire the biological functions of natural cell membranes due to the presence of membrane-anchored proteins, antigens, and immunological moieties as well as physicochemical property of natural cell membrane. Due to cell membrane cloaking, the derived biological properties and functions of nanoparticles such as their immunosuppressive capability, long circulation time, and disease targeting ability have enhanced their future potential in biomedicine. Here, we review the cell membrane-cloaked nanosystems, highlight their novelty, introduce the preparation and characterization methods with relevant biomedical applications, and describe the prospects for using this novel biomimetic system that was developed from a combination of cell membranes and synthetic nanomaterials.
