Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria residing inside cells could cause disruption of cellular metabolic balance. Therefore, basing on high oxidative stress response of the intracellular bacteria infected micro-environment, a novel amphipathic micelle (HATAD-TCS) was developed consisting of hyaluronic acid-derivative and reactive oxygen species (ROS) - responsive group and antibacterial agent triclosan (TCS). ROS-generating cinnamaldehyde (CA) was incorporated into ROS-cleavable linkages which are future linked to the 1-decylamine to form hydrophobicity. The cinnamaldehyde released did not just killed bacteria however, also maintained intracellular ROS levels. In this study, the HATAD-TCS micelles have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The HATAD-TCS micelles could release drug gradually upon exposure to endogenous ROS being caused by infected intracellular bacteria. Furthermore, the more promising therapeutic effect of the HATAD-TCS micelles was observed in a mouse pneumonia model. These results might highlight a ROS-responsive hyaluronic acid-based nanoparticle, which could effectively treat intracellular bacterial infections.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 240:124459. [PMID: 37072064 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2023]
Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring mucopolysaccharide that, due to its inherent bioactivity and extracellular matrix-like structure, has the potential to be utilised extensively in tissue engineering. However, this glycosaminoglycan lacks the properties required for cellular adhesion and photo-crosslinking by UV light, which significantly hinders this polymers applicability. This research presents a method for modifying hyaluronic acid via thiolation and methacrylation to generate a novel photo-crosslinkable polymer with improved physicochemical properties, biocompatibility and the potential to customize biodegradability according to the ratio of monomers used. A decrease in stiffness proportional to increasing thiol concentration was observed when testing the compressive strength of hydrogels. Conversely, it was noted that the storage moduli of hydrogels increased proportionally to thiol concentration indicating a greater degree of cross-linking with the addition of thiol. The addition of thiol to HA increased the biocompatibility of the material in both neuronal and glial cell lines and improved the degradability of methacrylated HA. Due to the enhanced physicochemical properties and biocompatibility imparted by the introduction of thiolated HA, this novel hydrogel system could have numerous bioengineering applications.

Abstract
AIMS To prepare hyaluronic acid-loaded Harmine polymeric micelles with CD44 targeting properties and to investigate their anti-breast cancer effects in vitro. METHODS The carboxyl group on hyaluronic acid is coupled to the amino group on 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine by an amidation reaction. And the polymeric micelles self-assemble to encapsulate the Harmine in a hydrophobic core, characterized the polymer micelles by IR, 19F-NMR, Malvern particle sizing, release, hemolysis, and other experiments. Used CD44-positive MDA-MB-231 cells and CD44-negative MCF-7 cells as tumor models. The effect of polymer micelles on breast cancer cells in vitro by cytotoxicity assay, confocal, and flow cytometry. RESULTS The prepared polymer micelles had a uniform particle size of about 200 nm, good dispersion, PDI < 0.3, encapsulation rate up to 87%, drug loading of 4.12±0.03%, and negative charge. Hyaluronidase has a good enzymatic effect on polymeric micelles, with a hemolysis rate of less than 1%. It showed some dose-dependent toxicity to both MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7, with increased uptake of polymer micelles by CD44-positive MDA-MB-231 compared to CD44-negative MCF-7 cells and significant effects of polymer micelles on apoptosis and cycling in both cell types. These results suggest that the hyaluronic acid-loaded Harmine polymer micelles designed in this study are effective in killing breast cancer cells while at the same time reducing the toxicity of Harmine and improving its slow-release targeting.

Abstract
The inclusion of physiologically active molecules into a naturally occurring polymer matrix can improve the degradation, absorption, and release profile of the drug, thus boosting the therapeutic impact and potentially even reducing the frequency of administration. The human body produces significant amounts of polysaccharide hyaluronic acid, which boasts exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability, and one-of-a-kind physicochemical features. In this review, we will examine the clinical trials currently utilizing hyaluronic acid and address the bright future of this versatile polymer, as well as summarize the numerous applications of hyaluronic acid in drug delivery and immunomodulation.

Abstract
In skin, although the extracellular matrix (ECM) is highly developed in dermis and hypodermis, discrete intercellular spaces between cells of the living epidermal layers are also filled with ECM components. Herein, we review knowledge about structure, localization and role of epidermal hyaluronan (HA), a key ECM molecule. HA is a non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan non-covalently bound to proteins or lipids. Components of the basal lamina maintain some segregation between the epidermis and the underlying dermis, and all epidermal HA is locally synthesized and degraded. Functions of HA in keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation are still controversial. However, through interactions with partners, such as the TSG-6 protein, HA is involved in the formation, organization and stabilization of the epidermal ECM. In addition, epidermal HA is involved in the formation of an efficient epidermal barrier made of cornified keratinocytes. In atopic dermatitis (AD) with profuse alterations of the epidermal barrier, HA is produced in larger amounts by keratinocytes than in normal skin. Epidermal HA inside AD lesional skin is located in enlarged intercellular spaces, likely as the result of disease-related modifications of HA metabolism.

PI3Kγ/AKT Signaling in High Molecular Weight Hyaluronan (HMWH)-Induced Anti-Hyperalgesia and Reversal of Nociceptor Sensitization. J Neurosci 2021; 41:8414-8426. [PMID: 34417329 DOI: 10.1523/jneurosci.1189-21.2021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
High molecular weight hyaluronan (HMWH), a well-established treatment for osteoarthritis pain, is anti-hyperalgesic in preclinical models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain. HMWH-induced anti-hyperalgesia is mediated by its action at cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44), the cognate hyaluronan receptor, which can signal via phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), a large family of kinases involved in diverse cell functions. We demonstrate that intrathecal administration of an oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) antisense to mRNA for PI3Kγ (a Class I PI3K isoform) expressed in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), and intradermal administration of a PI3Kγ-selective inhibitor (AS605240), markedly attenuates HMWH-induced anti-prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) hyperalgesia, in male and female rats. Intradermal administration of inhibitors of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR; rapamycin) and protein kinase B (AKT; AKT Inhibitor IV), signaling molecules downstream of PI3Kγ, also attenuates HMWH-induced anti-hyperalgesia. In vitro patch-clamp electrophysiology experiments on cultured nociceptors from male rats demonstrate that some HMWH-induced changes in generation of action potentials (APs) in nociceptors sensitized by PGE2 are PI3Kγ dependent (reduction in AP firing rate, increase in latency to first AP and increase in slope of current ramp required to induce AP) and some are PI3Kγ independent [reduction in recovery rate of AP afterhyperpolarization (AHP)]. Our demonstration of a role of PI3Kγ in HMWH-induced anti-hyperalgesia and reversal of nociceptor sensitization opens a novel line of research into molecular targets for the treatment of diverse pain syndromes.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT We have previously demonstrated that high molecular weight hyaluronan (HMWH) attenuates inflammatory hyperalgesia, an effect mediated by its action at cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44), the cognate hyaluronan receptor, and activation of its downstream signaling pathway, in nociceptors. In the present study, we demonstrate that phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)γ and downstream signaling pathway, protein kinase B (AKT) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), are crucial for HMWH to induce anti-hyperalgesia.
