[PMID: 36871644 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2023.02.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2023]
Abstract
The dense extracellular matrix (ECM) is a key barrier to tumor infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), which greatly compromises T cell-dependent immunotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, hyaluronidase (HAase), IL-12, and anti-PD-L1 antibody (αPD-L1) were co-delivered using a pH and MMP-2 dual-sensitive polymer/calcium phosphate (CaP) hybrid nanocarrier. The dissolution of CaP triggered by tumor acidity facilitated the release of IL-12 and HAase responsible for ECM digestion, enhancing the tumor infiltration and proliferation of CTLs. Furthermore, the in situ-released αPD-L1 inside tumor, as triggered by an overexpressed MMP-2, prevented the tumor cell from escaping the killing effects of CTLs. Such combination strategy induced a robust antitumor immunity for efficiently suppressing HCC growth in mice. Additionally, tumor acidity-sheddable polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating enhanced the tumor accumulation of nanocarrier and reduced the immune-related adverse events (irAEs) induced by on-target off-tumor αPD-L1. This dual-sensitive nanodrug demonstrates an effective immunotherapy paradigm for other dense ECM-characterized solid tumors.

Design of Smart Nanomedicines for Effective Cancer Treatment. Int J Pharm 2022; 621:121791. [PMID: 35525473 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Nanomedicine is a novel field of study that involves the use of nanomaterials to address challenges and issues that are associated with conventional therapeutics for cancer treatment including, but not limited to, low bioavailability, low water-solubility, narrow therapeutic window, nonspecific distribution, and multiple side effects of the drugs. Multiple strategies have been exploited to reduce the nonspecific distribution, and thus the side effect of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), including active and passive targeting strategies and externally controllable release of the therapeutic cargo. Site-specific release of the drug prevents it from impacting healthy cells, thereby significantly reducing side effects. API release triggers can be either externally applied, as in ultrasound-mediated activation, or induced by the tumor. To rationally design such nanomedicines, a thorough understanding of the differences between the tumor microenvironment versus that of healthy tissues must be pared with extensive knowledge of stimuli-responsive biomaterials. Herein, we describe the characteristics that differentiate tumor tissues from normal tissues. Then, we introduce smart materials that are commonly used for the development of smart nanomedicines to be triggered by stimuli such as changes in pH, temperature, and enzymatic activity. The most recent advances and their impact on the field of cancer therapy are further discussed.

Two-step fabricating micelle-like nanoparticles of cisplatin with the 'real' long circulation and high bioavailability for cancer therapy. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 210:112225.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely used anticancer drug for various solid tumors. However, the serious adverse effects caused by systemic distribution limit its wide use. In this study, we intend to use biocompatible materials polyethyleneimine (PEI) and poly(L-glutamic acid)-g-methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (PLG-g-PEG) to construct nanoparticles to enhance the efficacy of cisplatin and reduce its side effects. The micelle-like nanoparticles were fabricated by a simple two-step method, with a core consisting of PEI and cisplatin and a PLG-g-mPEG coating layer. The obtained nanoparticles have a small particle size (41.79 nm) and high drug loading (16.43%). The coated nanoparticles (NP-II) strengthened the structure of PEI and cisplatin complex (NP-I) and slowed the drug release for less than 20% at pH 7.4 PBS in 24 h. Therefore, it could effectively inhibit the binding of free drug and plasma proteins to achieve the long circulation, and the bioavailability could be increased to about 600% and 285% of cisplatin solution and NP-I respectively. Besides, the cellular uptake of NP-II was enhanced in the acidic tumor microenvironment due to the detachment of coating layer and the increase of positive zeta potential of nanoparticles, which was benefit to reduce the side effect of cisplatin to normal cells. In vivo pharmacodynamic experiments also showed that NP-II improved the efficacy and reduced side effects compared to the cisplatin solution. In conclusion, the two-step fabricating micelle-like nanoparticles with the improved therapeutic efficiency and reduced side effects show great potential for cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Vicagrel, a novel irreversible P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, is undergoing phase III trials for the treatment of acute coronary syndromes in China. In this study, we evaluated the pharmacokinetics, mass balance, and metabolism of vicagrel in six healthy male Chinese subjects after a single oral dose of 20 mg [14C]vicagrel (120 µCi). Vicagrel absorption was fast (Tmax = 0.625 h), and the mean t1/2 of vicagrel-related components was ~38.0 h in both plasma and blood. The blood-to-plasma radioactivity AUCinf ratio was 0.55, suggesting preferential distribution of drug-related material in plasma. At 168 h after oral administration, the mean cumulative excreted radioactivity was 96.71% of the dose, including 68.03% in urine and 28.67% in feces. A total of 22 metabolites were identified, and the parent vicagrel was not detected in plasma, urine, or feces. The most important metabolic spot of vicagrel was on the thiophene ring. In plasma pretreated with the derivatization reagent, M9-2, which is a methylated metabolite after thiophene ring opening, was the predominant drug-related component, accounting for 39.43% of the radioactivity in pooled AUC0-8 h plasma. M4, a mono-oxidation metabolite upon ring-opening, was the most abundant metabolite in urine, accounting for 16.25% of the dose, followed by M3-1, accounting for 12.59% of the dose. By comparison, M21 was the major metabolite in feces, accounting for 6.81% of the dose. Overall, renal elimination plays a crucial role in vicagrel disposition, and the thiophene ring is the predominant metabolic site.

Abstract
Hepatoma is one of the most severe malignancies usually with poor prognosis, and many patients are insensitive to the existing therapeutic agents, including the drugs for chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy. Currently, researchers are committed to developing the advanced formulations with controlled drug delivery to improve the efficacy of hepatoma therapy. Numerous inoculated, induced, and genetically engineered hepatoma rodent models are now available for formulation screening. However, animal models of hepatoma cannot accurately represent human hepatoma in terms of histological characteristics, metastatic pathways, and post-treatment responses. Therefore, advanced animal hepatoma models with comparable pathogenesis and pathological features are in urgent need in the further studies. Moreover, the development of nanomedicines has renewed hope for chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy of advanced hepatoma. As one kind of advanced formulations, the polymer-based nanoformulated drugs have many advantages over the traditional ones, such as improved tumor selectivity and treatment efficacy, and reduced systemic side effects. In this article, the construction of rodent hepatoma model and much information about the current development of polymer nanomedicines were reviewed in order to provide a basis for the development of advanced formulations with clinical therapeutic potential for hepatoma.

Tracking translocation of self-discriminating curcumin hybrid nanocrystals following intravenous delivery. Int J Pharm 2018; 546:10-19.

Abstract
Nanocrystals hold great potential as parenteral delivery carrier systems for poorly water-soluble drugs. Elucidation of the in vivo fate of parenteral nanocrystals is of pharmacological, toxicological and mechanistic significance. However, it is of tremendous difficulty to monitor real-time translocation of nanocrystals in vivo owing to progressive dissolution of nanocrystals and a lack of workable tools to probe nanocrystals. In this study, self-discriminating hybrid nanocrystals (SDHNs) of a model drug curcumin (CUR) were developed by embedding traces of environment-responsive fluorescent dyes into the crystalline lattices of CUR. The SDHNs glow, but the released dyes aggregate and quench spontaneously due to the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect. Following intravenous administration into rats, a large fraction of CUR nanocrystals are cleared from blood rapidly and accumulate mainly in liver and lung. A small fraction circulate in blood for at least 48 h. Long circulating might be attributable to the surface coating with poloxamer 188, a stabilizer used during preparation; nevertheless, the ultimate fate of nanocrystals ends in reticulo-endothelial organs and tissues. It is implied that parenteral delivery provide sustained release and prolonged pharmacological efficacy, but concomitantly raise concerns of local toxicity in vital organs and tissues, especially when the active ingredients are highly toxic.

Abstract
Objective To prepare hydroxyethyl chitosan nanoparticles loaded with anti-human death receptor 5 single-chain antibody, and study their characteristics, functions, and mechanisms of action. Materials and methods The anti-human death receptor 5 single-chain antibody was constructed and expressed. Protein-loaded hydroxyethyl chitosan nanoparticles were prepared, and their size, morphology, particle-size distribution and surface zeta potential were measured by scanning electron microscopy and laser particle-size analysis. Mouse H22 hepatocellular carcinoma cells were cultured, and growth inhibition was examined using the CellTiter-Blue cell-viability assay. Flow cytometry and Hoechst 33342 were employed to measure cell apoptosis. Kunming mice with H22 tumor models were treated with protein-loaded hydroxyethyl chitosan nanoparticles, and their body weight and tumor size were measured, while hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to detect antitumor effects in vivo and side effects from tumors. Results The protein-loaded hydroxyethyl chitosan nanoparticles had good stability; the zeta potential was −24.2±0.205, and the dispersion index was 0.203. The inhibition of the protein-loaded hydroxyethyl chitosan nanoparticles on H22 growth was both time- and dose-dependent. Increased expressions of active caspase 8, active caspase 3, and BAX were detected following treatment. The average weight gain, tumor weight, and mean tumor volume of the protein and protein-loaded hydroxyethyl chitosan nanoparticle groups were significantly different (P<0.05) compared with the phosphate-buffered saline group. Conclusion The protein-loaded hydroxyethyl chitosan nanoparticles effectively suppressed tumor growth, indicating that nanotechnology has the potential for broad application in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles enable the delivery of a great variety of drugs including anticancer drugs, analgesics, anti-Alzheimer's drugs, cardiovascular drugs, protease inhibitors, and several macromolecules into the brain after intravenous injection of animals. The mechanism of the nanoparticle-mediated drug transport across the BBB appears to be receptor-mediated endocytosis followed by transcytosis into the brain or by drug release within the endothelial cells. Modification of the nanoparticle surface with covalently attached targeting ligands or by coating with certain surfactants that lead to the adsorption of specific plasma proteins after injection is necessary for this receptor-mediated uptake. A very critical and important requirement for nanoparticulate brain delivery is that the employed nanoparticles are biocompatible and, moreover, rapidly biodegradable, i.e. over a time frame of a few days. In addition to enabling drug delivery to the brain, nanoparticles, as with doxorubicin, may importantly reduce the drug's toxicity and adverse effects due to an alteration of the body distribution. Because of the possibility to treat severe CNS diseases such as brain tumours and to even transport proteins and other macromolecules across the blood-brain barrier, this technology holds great promise for a non-invasive therapy of these diseases.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have many potential applications in tumor therapy. Systemically administered nanoparticles should remain in circulation for a long time to increase their accumulation in targeted tissues before being cleared by the reticuloendothelial system, and be effectively internalized by the targeted cells, which can be influenced significantly by the physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles, such as particle size, surface properties, and particle shape. This review highlights the impact of the main affects of physicochemical properties on nanoparticle transport behavior in blood, their uptake and clearance by macrophages and their consequent biodistribution, as well as their interaction with targeted cells.

Abstract
Cancer has become the leading cause of death among different populations of the world. The treatment is limited to chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Selective targeting to the tumor cells is possible by nanoparticles-based drug delivery system. It maximizes the drug concentration at the desired target and protects the surrounding healthy tissues at the same time. To improve the targeting potential of the anticancer drugs, nanoparticles were optimized for the size and surface characteristics to enhance their circulation time and targeting efficiency. Passive targeting involves surface modification with polyethylene glycol to avoid its elimination by natural body defense mechanism. Active targeting involves chemical interaction with certain antigen, receptors, and genes which are over expressed during progression of disease. In addition, the article highlights recent developments in "smart"-stimulus-responsive-drug carriers designed to enhance the localization and efficacy of therapeutic payloads as compared with free drug. Enhanced targeting potential, imaging, and controlled release of drugs or therapeutic molecules could be possible through multi-functional nanocarrier. Such multi-faceted, versatile nanocarriers and drug delivery systems promise a substantial increase in the efficacy of diagnostic and therapeutic applications in pharmaceutical sciences.

Abstract
Research in designing and engineering long-circulating nanoparticles, so-called ‘stealth’ nanoparticles, has been attracting increasing interest as a new platform for targeted drug delivery, especially in chemotherapy. In particular, the modification of nanoparticulate surfaces with poly(ethylene glycol) derivatives has illustrated a decreased uptake of nanoparticles by mononuclear phagocyte system cells and, hence, an increased circulation time, allowing passive accumulation in the tumor. The clinical trials on patients with solid tumors are described in this article, to illustrate this generation of promising nanoparticles. In the last few years, the new-generation technique of grafting ligands on the nanoparticle surface in order to target and penetrate specific cancer cells has been developed. This article discusses the benefits of passive targeting for drug delivery to the solid tumors via the enhanced permeability and retention effect, when using stealth nanoparticles, and compares them with the advantages of active targeting.

Abstract
AIM Localized delivery of growth factors has significant potential as a future therapeutic strategy in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. A nanoparticle vehicle was created and evaluated in this study with the intent to deliver growth factors for periodontal regeneration. METHODS Novel composite nanoparticles based on glycidyl methacrylate derivatized dextrans (Dex-GMA) and gelatin were fabricated by a facile method without using any organic solvents. The configurations of the resultant nanoparticles were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscope. Their surfaces were characterized by zeta-potential measurements, after which their properties including swelling, degradation, drug release, and cytotoxicity were also investigated using in vitro models. RESULTS The particle size of Dex-GMA/gelatin nanoparticles (DG-NPs) ranged from 20 to 100 nm and showed a mono-disperse size distribution (mean diameter 53.7 nm) and a strongly negative surface zeta potential (-20 mV). The DG-NPs were characterized by good swelling and degradation properties in media including dextranase. The in vitro drug release studies showed that the efficient bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) release from DG-NPs was maintained for more than 12 d under degradation conditions, where more than 90% of the loaded BMP was released. No any relevant cell damage caused by DG-NPs was found in the cytotoxicity tests for a period of 24 h. CONCLUSION These combined results demonstrate that DG-NPs fulfill the basic prerequisites for growth factor delivery. With further in vivo studies, those nanoparticles may offer a promising vehicle for the delivery of active drugs to the periodontium.

Abstract
pH-sensitive polymeric micelles and nanogels have recently been developed to target slightly acidic extracellular pH environment of solid tumors. The pH targeting approach is regarded as a more general strategy than conventional specific tumor cell surface targeting approaches, because the acidic tumor microclimate is most common in solid tumors. When nanosystems are combined with triggered release mechanisms by endosomal or lysosomal acidity plus endosomolytic capability, the nanocarriers demonstrated to overcome multidrug resistance of various tumors. This review highlights recent progress of the pH-sensitive nanotechnology developed in Bae research group.

Abstract
Lung cancers, malignant mesotheliomas (MM), and fibrosis are devastating diseases with limited treatment strategies, in part due to poorly-effective drug delivery to affected areas of lung. We hypothesized that acid-prepared mesoporous spheres (APMS) (1-2 microm diameter, 40 A pore size) might be effective vehicles for pulmonary chemotherapeutic drug delivery. To assess this, APMS, chemically modified with different surface molecules (lipid, a linker having a terminal amine group, a thiol group, or tetraethylene glycol [TEG]), were evaluated for uptake and possible cytotoxic effects after in vitro administration to murine alveolar epithelial Type II (C10) and human mesothelioma (MM) cells and after intrapleural or intranasal administration to C57Bl/6 mice. APMS coated with TEG (APMS-TEG) were most efficiently taken up by C10 and MM cells. The mechanism of cell uptake was rapid, actin-dependent, and did not involve clathrin- or caveolae-mediated mechanisms nor fusion of membrane-bound APMS with lysosomes. When injected intrapleurally in mice, APMS-TEG were taken up by both CD45-positive and -negative cells of the diaphragm, lung, and spleen, whereas APMS administered by the intranasal route were predominantly in lung epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages. After intrapleural or intranasal administration, APMS were nonimmunogenic and nontoxic as evaluated by differential cell counts and lactate dehydrogenase levels in bronchoalveolar and pleural lavage fluids. In the treatment of lung and pleural diseases, APMS-TEG may be useful tools to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs or molecular constructs.
