Abstract
The limitations inherent in conventional cancer treatment methods have stimulated recent efforts towards the design of safe nanomedicines with high efficacy for combating cancer through various promising approaches. A plethora of nanoparticles has been introduced in the development of cancer nanomedicines. Among them, different lipid nanoparticles are attractive for use due to numerous advantages and unique opportunities, including biocompatibility and targeted drug delivery. However, a comprehensive understanding of nano-bio interactions is imperative to facilitate the translation of recent advancements in the development of cancer nanomedicines into clinical practice. In this contribution, we focus on lipoprotein-mimicking nanoparticles, which possess unique features and compositions facilitating drug transport through receptor binding mechanisms. Additionally, we describe potential applications of siRNA lipid nanoparticles in the future design of anticancer nanomedicines. Thus, this review highlights recent progress, challenges, and opportunities of lipid-based lipoprotein-mimicking nanoparticles and siRNA nanocarriers designed for the targeted delivery of anticancer therapeutic agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process induced by the influx and entrapment of excess lipoproteins into the intima media of arteries. Previously, our lab demonstrated that systemic PTP1B inhibition protects against atherosclerosis in preclinical LDLR-/- models. Similarly, it was shown that myeloid-specific PTP1B ablation decreases plaque formation and ameliorates dyslipidaemia in the ApoE-/- model of atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that the relevant improvements in dyslipidaemia following modification of PTP1B activation may either result from changes in hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis and/or increased uptake and degradation by liver-resident macrophages. We examined this in animal models and patients with coronary artery disease. METHODS In this study, we determined the cholesterol-lowering effect of myeloid-PTP1B deletion in mice fed a high-fat high-cholesterol diet and examined effects on total cholesterol levels and lipoprotein profiles. We also determined the effects of PTP1B inhibition to oxLDL-C challenge on foam cell formation and cholesterol efflux in human monocytes/macrophages. RESULTS We present evidence that myeloid-PTP1B deficiency significantly increases the affinity of Kupffer cells for ApoB containing lipoproteins, in an IL10-dependent manner. We also demonstrate that PTP1B inhibitor, MSI-1436, treatment decreased foam cell formation in Thp1-derived macrophages and increased macrophage cholesterol efflux to HDL in an AMPK-dependent manner. We present evidence of three novel and distinct mechanisms regulated by PTP1B: an increase in cholesterol efflux from foam cells, decreased uptake of lipoproteins into intra-lesion macrophages in vitro and a decrease of circulating LDL-C and VLDL-C in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Overall, these results suggest that myeloid-PTP1B inhibition has atheroprotective effects through improved cholesterol handling in atherosclerotic lesions, as well as increased reverse cholesterol transport.

Abstract
To identify genes responding to the cholesterol-rich diet, differentially expressed hepatic genes have been searched from a diet-induced hypercholesterolemic rabbit by differential display reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR). Among the many screened genes, Rab7 gene was shown to be distinctively up-regulated in response to the cholesterol-loading into the rabbit. To visualize the location of elevated Rab7 expression in tissues, patterns of the gene expression were monitored within hepatic and aortic tissues by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. The expression of Rab7 was obviously increased in the hepatic tissues, especially in the endothelial cells and hepatocytes around central veins of the high cholesterol-fed rabbit, compared to the tissues from rabbit fed a normal diet. To find out a potential relationship between the Rab7 and the atherogenesis, the same experiments were conducted with the atherosclerotic plaques obtained from rabbit and human. The elevated expression of Rab7 gene was clearly evident in both tissues, suggesting that the Rab7 may be involved in the process of atherogenesis.

Abstract
The effects of administering reserpine (0.1 mg/kg) or 17alpha-ethinyloestradiol (2.5 mg/kg) to New Zealand White rabbits on low density lipoprotein receptors in liver, on plasma low density lipoprotein and fibrinogen and on plasma and tissue lipids were determined. Blood pressure and heart rate were also followed. The drugs were injected subcutaneously into conscious unrestrained rabbits for 5 days. On the 6th day homologous 125I-tyramine cellobiose labelled low density lipoprotein (125I-TC-LDL) was injected intravenously and 24 h later the animals were killed. Compared to controls, reserpine significantly increased LDL receptor expression in the liver by about threefold, and reduced total cholesterol in plasma, aorta and heart, without affecting plasma triglycerides. The reductions in plasma cholesterol and heart were due to decreases in both unesterified and esterified cholesterol. Similar effects were observed with oestrogen, except that there was no change in esterified cholesterol in aorta. In liver, a decrease of 24% in total cholesterol was due mainly to decreased esterified cholesterol. In adrenal glands total cholesterol increased by 25%. Reserpine significantly accelerated the plasma clearance of intravenously injected homologous 125I-TC-LDL and reduced its accumulation in aortic wall. Neither reserpine nor oestradiol affected blood pressure, haematocrit or plasma fibrinogen. The results suggest that reserpine is an affective anti-atherogenic drug capable of decreasing cholesterol in plasma, arteries and heart by increasing high affinity LDL receptors in the liver.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that reactive oxygen species are involved in ischemic injury. The present work was undertaken to determine in vivo the role of xanthine oxidase in the oxygen free radical production during rat liver ischemia and to examine the activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase) during the same period. Our results indicate a 4-fold increase in xanthine oxidase activity between 2 and 3 hours of normothermic ischemia, in parallel with a decrease in cell viability. Moderate hypothermia delays both events. Under the same conditions, the activity of oxygen radical scavenging enzymes remains unchanged. Moreover, we have compared in vitro the susceptibility of isolated liver cells to an oxidative stress induced by O2.-, H2O2 and .OH. Our results reveal that endothelial cells are much more susceptible to reactive oxygen species than hepatocytes, probably because they lack H2O2-detoxifying enzymes. These findings suggest that xanthine oxidase might play a major role in the ischemic injury mainly at the level of the sinusoidal space where most endothelial cells are located.

Abstract
The process of receptor-mediated endocytosis in poikilothermic vertebrates such as salmonid fish have not been subjected to much research, compared to the detailed studies done in mammalian systems. We have investigated the hepatic uptake and intracellular processing of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in rainbow trout liver. After intravenous injection of the [125I]tyramine-cellobiose ([125I]TC) -labelled lipoprotein, the liver was perfused and cells isolated or fractionated by differential centrifugation and isopycnic centrifugation in Nycodenz gradients. We found that LDL was mainly endocytosed by parenchymal cells of the liver. Cell fractionation experiments showed that LDL was localized sequentially in three groups of organelles of increasing density. Initially, LDL was localized in small, slowly sedimenting endosomes before being transferred to denser endosomes (prelysosomes) and finally to dense lysosomes. The lysosomes were identified by three lysosomal marker enzymes. Degradation products formed from [125I]TC-labelled LDL could also be detected in prelysosomal vesicles. In vitro experiments with cultured trout hepatocytes demonstrated that intracellular processing of [125I]TC-LDL in these cells could be suppressed by endocytic and lysosomal inhibitors. The catabolism of LDL in rainbow trout therefore follows the endocytic-lysosomal pathway described for many macromolecules in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Trout high-density lipoproteins have been labelled with residualizing tracers for the lipid and protein moieties ([3H]cholesteryloleyl ether and 125I-tyramine-cellobiose, respectively). Plasma kinetics and tissue site of catabolism were determined for both tracers. The lipid tracer was cleared about twice as fast from the blood as the protein tracer (half lifes were 63.5 and 125.3 h, respectively). This selective removal of lipid from the lipoprotein was mainly accomplished by the higher liver uptake of the cholesteryl ether. The main catabolic site for HDL protein was kidney tissue. This data established the existence of differential HDL catabolism in a lower vertebrate, in which HDL is the dominant plasma lipoprotein. In addition, the findings confirm the importance of fish kidney as a major site of endocytosis of macromolecules, of both exogenous and endogenous origin.

Abstract
The effects of marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were investigated in relation to the chemical and physical properties of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and how these changes affected LDL metabolism in humans. The subjects received supplements of six capsules daily, each capsule containing 1 g of either highly concentrated ethyl esters of n-3 fatty acids (85% eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) (n = 12) or corn oil (56% linoleic and 26% oleic acid) (n = 11). After 4 months of oil supplementation, the following changes were observed in the lipid moiety of the n-3-enriched LDL particles compared with LDL from the corn oil group: LDL cholesteryl ester, as well as the amount of total lipids of LDL, was significantly lower (0.97 +/- 0.12 versus 1.19 +/- 0.23 mg/mg protein and 1.88 +/- 0.40 versus 2.45 +/- 0.31 mg/mg, respectively; mean +/- SD, n = 6, p less than 0.05); the amount of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids and the unsaturation index increased (104.0 versus 29.4 micrograms/mg protein and 6.64 versus 5.49, respectively); and differential scanning calorimetry showed that LDL cholesteryl ester melting temperature was lowered by 2 degrees C (27.6 +/- 0.8 degrees versus 29.5 +/- 0.2 degrees C). The only effect observed on the protein moiety was an increase in the ratio of apolipoprotein (apo) B to cholesterol (0.66 +/- 0.17 versus 0.82 +/- 0.14 mg/mg cholesterol; p less than 0.05). Circular dichroism spectra of LDL indicated an alpha-helix content of 46 +/- 5% in apo B from both groups. No difference was observed by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the ratio of "active" to "normal" lysine residues of apo B. No detectable differences in the size of n-3 fatty acid-enriched LDL particles versus control LDL could be measured by either electron microscopy of negatively stained LDL (24.5 +/- 2.0 versus 25.0 +/- 1.5 nm) or dynamic light scattering (24.9 +/- 0.9 versus 24.9 +/- 0.4 nm). LDL from the fish oil and corn oil groups showed similar susceptibility to Cu(2+)-catalyzed lipid peroxidation, as indicated by the amount of lipid peroxides formed during the oxidation time, and degradation of oxidatively modified LDL in J774 macrophages as a function of Cu2+ oxidation time. No effect of n-3 fatty acids was observed on LDL metabolism. Specific uptake and degradation of n-3 fatty acid-enriched LDL were similar to those for control LDL in HepG2 cells as well as in human skin fibroblasts, and they showed the same ability to stimulate cholesteryl ester synthesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The clearance of gamma-glutamyltransferase was studied by injecting the purified human liver enzyme intravenously in the rat. The results show a biphasic clearance, with a rapid initial rate of removal. The initial uptake is more rapid for neuraminidase-treated GT. Liver accounts for the bulk organ uptake and the enzyme is almost exclusively taken up into the parenchymal cells. We suggest that the uptake of circulating GT is receptor mediated, most likely by the galactose receptor of the parenchymal cells.

Abstract
The uptake in vivo of chylomicrons and beta-migrating very-low-density lipoprotein (beta-VLDL) by rat liver, which is primarily carried out by parenchymal cells, is inhibited, 5 min after injection, to respectively 35 and 8% of the control values after preinjection of lactoferrin. The decrease in the uptake of lipoproteins by the liver caused by lactoferrin is a specific inhibition of uptake by parenchymal cells. Competition studies in vitro demonstrate that chylomicron remnants and beta-VLDL compete for the same recognition site on parenchymal cells. Data obtained in vivo together with the competition studies performed in vitro indicate that chylomicron remnants and beta-VLDL interact specifically with the same remnant receptor. Hepatic uptake of 125I-labelled-alpha 2-macroglobulin in vivo, mediated equally by parenchymal and endothelial cells, is not decreased by preinjection of lactoferrin and no effect on the parenchymal-cell-mediated uptake is found. In vitro, alpha 2-macroglobulin and chylomicron remnants or beta-VLDL show no cross-competition. Culturing of parenchymal cells for 24-48 h leads to a decrease in the cell association of alpha 2-macroglobulin to 26% of the initial value, while the cell association of beta-VLDL with the remnant receptor is not influenced. It is concluded that beta-VLDL and chylomicron remnants are recognized by a specific remnant receptor on parenchymal liver cells, while uptake of alpha 2-macroglobulin by liver is carried out by a specific receptor system (presumably involving the LDL-receptor-related protein) which shows properties that are distinct from those of the remnant receptor.

Abstract
The relationship between the serum factor(s)-mediated induction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor activity and changes in cellular cholesterol metabolism was examined in the human hepatoma cell line Hep-G2. Relative to incubation with serum-free media [Eagle's minimal essential medium (MEM) control], short-term (less than 8 h) incubation with medium containing 15% of either calf serum (MEM + serum) or the d greater than 1.25 fraction of calf serum (MEM + d greater than 1.25) produced a time- and concentration-dependent increase in the uptake of 125I-LDL. Immunoblotting with anti-(LDL receptor) antibodies demonstrated that this was correlated with a 2-fold increase in the amount of the mature 136,000 Da LDL receptor protein in detergent-solubilized Hep-G2 cell membranes. Incubation with MEM + serum, but not MEM + d greater than 1.25, increased the efflux of radiolabelled cholesterol from Hep-G2 cells. However, the induction of 125I-LDL uptake by MEM + d greater than 1.25 (2.3-fold) and MEM + serum (2.2-fold) was virtually identical. Addition of the d less than 1.063 lipoproteins of calf serum to MEM + d greater than 1.25 at their original or three times their serum concentration decreased the induction of 125I-LDL uptake by MEM + d greater than 1.25 by only 20-30%. Together, these results suggest that the stimulation of 125I-LDL uptake was not due to the presence of high-density lipoprotein, the absence of LDL or the stimulation of cholesterol efflux. MEM + serum stimulated 125I-LDL uptake in cells cholesterol-loaded by incubation with rat very-low-density lipoprotein with beta electrophoretic mobility (beta-VLDL). Compared to incubation with the MEM control, either MEM + serum or MEM + d greater than 1.25 produced time-dependent increases in the activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase which also occurred in cholesterol-loaded cells. However, cholesterol biosynthesis, whether measured from 3H2O, [14C]acetate or [3H]mevalonic acid, was not increased. Incubation with MEM + serum or MEM + d greater than 1.25 did not affect [3H]oleate incorporation into cellular cholesteryl esters, hydrolysis of intracellular [3H]cholesteryl esters or the cellular mass of unesterified or esterified cholesterol. Incubation with MEM + serum or MEM + d greater than 1.25 produced a transient increase in the level of LDL receptor mRNA, reaching a maximum of 5-10-fold by 2 h and decreasing to near baseline levels by 4 h. Actinomycin D blocked the serum-factor-mediated induction of LDL receptor mRNA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The association with and degradation by cultured human parenchymal liver cells and human Kupffer cells of human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was investigated in order to define, for the human situation, the relative abilities of the various liver cell types to interact with LDL. With both human parenchymal liver cells and Kupffer cells the association of LDL with the cells followed saturation kinetics which were coupled to LDL degradation. The association of LDL (per mg of cell protein) to both cell types was comparable, but the association with human Kupffer cells was much more efficiently coupled to degradation than was the case in parenchymal cells. The capacity of human Kupffer cells to degrade LDL was consequently 18-fold higher (per mg of cell protein) than that of the human parenchymal liver cells. Competition studies showed that unlabelled LDL competed efficiently with the cell association and degradation of 125I-labelled LDL with both parenchymal and Kupffer cells, while unlabelled acetyl-LDL was ineffective. The degradation of LDL by parenchymal and Kupffer cells was blocked by chloroquine and NH4Cl, indicating that it occurs in the lysosomes. Binding and degradation of LDL by human liver parenchymal cells and human Kupffer cells appeared to be completely calcium-dependent. It is concluded that the association and degradation of LDL by human Kupffer and parenchymal liver cells proceeds through the specific LDL receptor, whereas the association of LDL to Kupffer cells is more efficiently coupled to degradation. The presence of the highly active LDL receptor on human Kupffer cells might contribute significantly to LDL catabolism by human liver, especially under conditions whereby the LDL receptor on parenchymal cells is down-regulated.

Abstract
Binding and internalization of chylomicron remnants from rat mesenteric lymph by HepG2 cells was inhibited by both excess remnants and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to the same extent. Ligand blots revealed binding of remnants and LDL to the LDL receptor. Measures regulating LDL receptor activity greatly influenced the binding of remnants: ethinyloestradiol, the hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitor pravastatin and the absence of LDL all increased binding, whereas high cell density or the presence of LDL decreased binding. Also, asialofetuin, asialomucin, the neoglycoprotein galactosyl-albumin and an antibody against the asialoglycoprotein receptor all decreased substantially the binding of remnants. At high cell density, binding internalization and degradation of chylomicron remnants was inhibited by up to 70-80%, yet binding of LDL was inhibited by no more than 20-30%. In cross-competition studies, the binding of 125I-asialofetuin was efficiently competed for by asialofetuin itself or by the antibody, and also by LDL and remnants, yet remnants displayed an approx. 100-fold higher affinity than LDL. Likewise, remnants of human triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins and asialofetuin interfered with each others' binding to HepG2 cells or human liver membranes. It is concluded that the LDL receptor mediates the internalization of chylomicron remnants into hepatocytes depending on its activity, according to demand for cholesterol. Additionally, the asialoglycoprotein receptor may contribute to the endocytosis of LDL, but predominantly of chylomicron remnants.

Abstract
Tissue uptake and degradation of 125I-tyramine-cellobiose-labelled filamentous actin, vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and actin-DBP complex were studied in the rat. Actin and actin-DBP complex were cleared from plasma at a faster rate than was DBP. About 40% of injected actin was recovered in the liver between 10 and 30 min after administration. Of the total radioactivity recovered in the liver, about 35% and 40% was detected in parenchymal and endothelial cells respectively when labelled actin or DBP-actin complex was injected intravenously. When labelled DBP alone was injected, approx. 55% of the radioactivity recovered in liver was in the Kupffer cells. These results suggest that actin is targeting the DBP-actin complex to the endothelial and parenchymal liver cells. Filamentous actin was also taken up in large amounts and at a rapid rate in parenchymal as well as non-parenchymal liver cells in vitro. Our data indicate that the rat has a mechanism to clear actin and the DBP-actin complex from plasma and that both parenchymal and non-parenchymal liver cells are involved in this process.

Receptor-mediated endocytosis of ovalbumin by two carbohydrate-specific receptors in rat liver cells. The intracellular transport of ovalbumin to lysosomes is faster in liver endothelial cells than in parenchymal cells. Biochem J 1990; 270:197-203.

Abstract
1. The uptake of ovalbumin (OVA) in rat liver parenchymal cells (PC) and non-parenchymal cells was studied in vivo and in vitro in order to compare the cellular expression of glycoprotein receptors and the kinetics of intracellular transport of ligand endocytosed by these receptors. 2. Ovalbumin was labelled with 125I or with 125I-tyramine-cellobiose (125I-TC). By using 125I-TC-OVA the labelled degradation products were trapped in the cells. 3. 125I-TC-OVA was rapidly cleared from blood mainly by receptor-mediated uptake in the liver. At 30 min after injection, 50% of the ligand was recovered in the liver. The endothelial cells (EC) and the PC were the predominant cell types responsible for uptake. 4. The uptake in PC was strongly inhibited by asialo-orosomucoid (AOM), but not by mannan, indicating that the uptake in these cells was mediated by the galactose receptor and not by the mannose receptor. This finding is compatible with the observation that a proportion of the OVA contains terminal galactose residues in the carbohydrate moiety. 5. In vitro uptake of OVA in cultured EC was saturable and inhibited by mannan, mannose, fructose, N-acetylglucosamine, EDTA or monensin, but not by galactose or AOM. The uptake of OVA in these cells was therefore mediated by the mannose receptor. 6. To label the organelles involved in endocytosis in PC and EC, 125I-TC-OVA was injected intravenously together with an excess of either AOM or mannan. In this way the labelled ligand could be directed selectively to EC or PC respectively. Subcellular fractionation of total liver in sucrose and Nycodenz gradients revealed that in EC the intracellular transport of OVA is so fast that endocytosed ligand accumulates and thus increases the density of the lysosomes. Conversely, in PC transfer of ligand is slower, with the result that accumulation of undegraded ligand in the lysosomes does not occur. These findings are interpreted to mean that in EC the rate-limiting step of handling of endocytosed ligand is intralysosomal degradation, whereas in PC the rate-limiting step is transport of ligand to the lysosomes. 7. Altogether, these findings suggest that endocytosis of OVA by the liver EC and PC is mediated by mannose and galactose receptors respectively, and that the kinetics of intracellular transport of OVA differ in the two cell types.

Abstract
Fluid-phase endocytosis was studied in isolated rabbit liver parenchymal cells by using 125I-poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) as a marker. First, uptake of 125I-PVP by cells was determined. Also, cells were loaded with 125I-PVP for 20, 60 and 120 min, and release of marker was monitored for 120-220 min. Then we used the Simulation, Analysis and Modeling (SAAM) computer program and the technique of model-based compartmental analysis to develop a mechanistic model for fluid-phase endocytosis in these cells. To fit all data simultaneously, a model with three cellular compartments and one extracellular compartment was required. The three kinetically distinct cellular compartments are interpreted to represent (1) early endosomes, (2) a prelysosomal compartment equivalent to the compartment for uncoupling of receptor and ligand (CURL) and/or multivesicular bodies (MVB), and (3) lysosomes. The model predicts that approx. 80% of the internalized 125I-PVP was recycled to the medium from the early-endosome compartment. The apparent first-order rate constant for this recycling was 0.094 min-1, thus indicating that an average 125I-PVP molecule is recycled in 11 min. The model also predicts that recycling to the medium occurs from all three intracellular compartments. From the prelysosomal compartment, 40% of the 125I-PVP molecules are predicted to recycle to the medium and 60% are transferred to the lysosomal compartment. The average time for recycling from the prelysosomal compartment to the medium was estimated to be 66 min. For 125I-PVP in the lysosomal compartment, 0.3%/min was transferred back to the medium. These results, and the model developed to interpret the data, predict that there is extensive recycling of material endocytosed by fluid-phase endocytosis to the extracellular environment in rabbit liver parenchymal cells.

Abstract
Receptor-dependent uptake mechanisms for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were studied in rabbit liver parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells. Hybridization studies with a cDNA probe revealed that mRNA for the apo (apolipoprotein) B,E receptor was present in endothelial and Kupffer cells as well as in parenchymal cells. By ligand-blotting experiments we showed that apo B,E-receptor protein was present in both parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells. Studies of binding of homologous LDL in cultured rabbit parenchymal cells suggested that about 63% of the specific LDL binding was mediated via the apo B,E receptor. Approx. 47% of the specific LDL binding was dependent on Ca2+, suggesting that specific Ca2+-dependent as well as Ca2+-independent LDL-binding sites exist in liver parenchymal cells. Methylated LDL bound to the parenchymal cells in a saturable manner. Taken together, our results showed that apo B,E receptors are present in rabbit liver endothelial and Kupffer cells as well as in the parenchymal cells, and that an additional saturable binding activity for LDL may exist on rabbit liver parenchymal cells. This binding activity was not inhibited by EGTA or reductive methylation of lysine residues in apo B. LDL degradation in parenchymal cells was mainly mediated via the apo B,E receptor.
