[PMID: 37351014 PMCID: PMC10281962 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbad047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) hold tremendous targeting potential in cardiovascular disease and regenerative medicine, and exciting clinical applications are coming into light. Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) exposure to different magnitudes and patterns of shear stress (SS) generated by blood flow could engulf NPs in the blood. However, an unclear understanding of the role of SS on NP uptake is hindering the progress in improving the targeting of NP therapies. Here, the temporal and spatial distribution of SS in vascular ECs and the effect of different SS on NP uptake in ECs are highlighted. The mechanism of SS affecting NP uptake through regulating the cellular ROS level, endothelial glycocalyx and membrane fluidity is summarized, and the molecules containing clathrin and caveolin in the engulfment process are elucidated. SS targeting NPs are expected to overcome the current bottlenecks and change the field of targeting nanomedicine. This assessment on how SS affects the cell uptake of NPs and the marginalization of NPs in blood vessels could guide future research in cell biology and vascular targeting drugs.

Abstract
Hepatic hemangioma (HH) is the most common benign primary liver tumor; however, despite its high prevalence, a stage-specific classification of this tumor is currently missing. For a spatial stage-specific classification, a tissue microarray (TMA) consisting of 98 HHs and 80 hemangioma margins and 78 distant liver tissues was digitally analyzed for the expression of 16 functional and vascular niche-specific markers. For cross-correlation of histopathology and functional characteristics, computed tomography/MRI imaging data of 28 patients were analyzed. Functional and morphological analyses revealed a high level of intra- and interpatient heterogeneity, and morphological heterogeneity was observed with regard to cellularity, vascular diameter, and endothelial cell subtype composition. While regressed hemangiomas were characterized by low blood vessel density, low beta-catenin levels, and a microvascular phenotype, non-regressed HHs showed a pronounced cellular and architectural heterogeneity. Functionally, cellular senescence–associated p16 expression identified an HH subgroup with high vascular density and increased lymphatic endothelial cell content. Histological HH regions may be grouped into spatially defined morphological compartments that may reflect the current region-specific disease stage. The stage-specific classification of HHs with signs of regression and vascular senescence may allow a better disease course–based and cell state–based subtyping of these benign vascular lesions.

Abstract
Ineffective site-specific delivery has seriously impeded the efficacy of nanoparticle-based drugs to a disease site. Here, we report the preparation of three different shapes (sphere, scroll, and oblate) to systematically evaluate the impact of the marginative delivery on the efficacy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided X-ray irradiation at a low dose of 1 Gy. In addition to the shape effect, the therapeutic efficacy is investigated for the first time to be strongly related to the structure effect that is associated with the chemical activity. The enhanced particle-vessel wall interaction of both the flat scroll and oblate following margination dynamics leads to greater accumulation in the lungs, resulting in superior performance over the sphere against lung tumor growth and suppression of lung metastasis. Furthermore, the impact of the structural discrepancy in nanoparticles on therapeutic efficacy is considered. The tetragonal oblate reveals that the feasibility of the charge-transfer process outperforms the orthorhombic scroll and cubic sphere to suppress tumors. Finally, surface area is also a crucial factor affecting the efficacy of X-ray treatments from the as-prepared particles.

Abstract
Standard cancer therapies sometimes fail to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs to tumor cells in a safe and effective manner. Nanotechnology takes the lead in providing new therapeutic options for cancer due to major potential for selective targeting and controlled drug release. Antibodies and antibody fragments are attracting much attention as a source of targeting ligands to bind specific receptors that are overexpressed on cancer cells. Therefore, researchers are devoting time and effort to develop targeting strategies based on nanoparticles functionalized with antibodies, which hold great promise to enhance therapeutic efficacy and circumvent severe side effects. Several methods have been described to immobilize antibodies on the surface of nanoparticles. However, selecting the most appropriate for each application is challenging but also imperative to preserve antigen binding ability and yield stable antibody-conjugated nanoparticles. From this perspective, we aim to provide considerable knowledge on the most widely used methods of functionalization that can be helpful for decision-making and design of conjugation protocols as well. This review summarizes adsorption, covalent conjugation (carbodiimide, maleimide and "click" chemistries) and biotin-avidin interaction, while discussing the advantages, limitations and relevant therapeutic approaches currently under investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The unique phenomenon of endothelial antibody capture (endocapt) leads to site-specific accumulation of antibodies on the endothelium after its locoregional injection. The potential of this phenomenon has already been demonstrated in animal models. In the present study, the translational potential of several human endothelium-specific antibodies for their use in the endocapt-based approach was analysed. METHODS The binding of different endothelium-surface specific monoclonal antibody clones was analysed in human tissue and in endothelial cells using image-based immunofluorescence and the determination of half-maximal effective concentration (EC50). The potential of endocapt-based locoregional application of antibodies or antibody-coated liposomes was analysed ex vivo using isolated mouse liver perfusion and in vivo using superselective injection in tumour models. RESULTS Eight out of ten antibody clones were assigned to the group of "fast binding antibodies". Different antibody clones showed various binding kinetics to the same endothelial marker whereas the binding kinetics of single antibody clones was independent from the tissue type. Anti-CD49e, anti-CD31, anti-CD34 and anti-CD102 antibodies showed the lowest EC50 of antibody binding concentration and constant results in EC50 determination of antibody binding to cells and human tissue. Experimental studies using anti-mouse CD49e antibody and coated immunoliposomes confirmed their effective capture by endothelial cells in vitro and in vivo by which fluorescent liver segment labelling was achieved. CONCLUSIONS Our findings identify the high potential of several human antibody clones, especially anti-CD49e, -CD31, -CD34 and -CD102, for endocapt technology. We also propose important translational implications of these antibodies for image-guided liver surgery and for use of nanoparticles/immunoliposomes. Toxicological studies are indispensable for further translational development of new antibodies for endocapt. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The phenomenon of endothelial antibody capture (endocapt) leads to site-specific accumulation of antibodies on the endothelium after its locoregional injection. This phenomenon broadly prevents systemic circulation of the antibody or antibody-drug conjugates. In the present study, our findings identify several human antibody clones promising for endothelial capture technology. This study provided the experimental demonstration of liver segment labelling ex vivo using isolated mouse liver perfusion and in vivo using superselective injection in tumor models. In addition, this study proposed the important translational implications of selected antibodies for image-guided liver surgery and for use of nanoparticles/immunoliposomes.

Abstract
Nanoparticles in the bloodstream are subjected to complex fluid forces as they move through the curves and branches of healthy or tumor vasculature. While nanoparticles are known to preferentially accumulate in angiogenic vessels, little is known about the flow conditions in these vessels and how these conditions may influence localization. Here, we report a methodology which combines confocal imaging of nanoparticle-injected transgenic zebrafish embryos, 3D modeling of the vasculature, particle mapping, and computational fluid dynamics, to quantitatively assess the effects of fluid forces on nanoparticle distribution in vivo. Six-fold lower accumulation was found in zebrafish arteries compared to the lower velocity veins. Nanoparticle localization varied inversely with shear stress. Highest accumulation was present in regions of disturbed flow found at branch points and curvatures in the vasculature. To further investigate cell-particle association under flow, human endothelial cells were exposed to nanoparticles under hemodynamic conditions typically found in human vessels. Physiological adaptations of endothelial cells to 20 hours of flow enhanced nanoparticle accumulation in regions of disturbed flow. Overall our results suggest that fluid shear stress magnitude, flow disturbances, and flow-induced changes in endothelial physiology modulate nanoparticle localization in angiogenic vessels.

Abstract
Hemodynamic has increasingly been regarded as an important factor of renal function. However, the relationship between carotid artery wall shear stress (WSS) and renal function is not clarified. To investigate the relationship between carotid WSS and renal function, we recruited 761 older subjects aged 60 years and over from community-dwelling in the Shandong area, China. Carotid WSS, endothelial function, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were assessed in all subjects. Subjects were grouped by the interquartile of the carotid artery mean WSS. We found that the eGFRs derived from serum creatinine and/or cystatin C using three CKD-EPI equations were significantly higher and albumin/creatinine ratio was lower in the higher interquartile groups than in the lower interquartile groups (P <0.05). The mean WSS was independently correlated with eGFRs even after adjustment for confounders. Similar findings were found between carotid artery peak WSS and eGFRs and albumin/creatinine ratio. In addition, we found that endothelial function was strongly related to carotid WSS and renal function after adjustment for confounders. In conclusion, there is an independent correlation of carotid WSS with renal function in the elderly. The local rheologic forces may play an important role in renal function changing. The correlation may be mediated by regulation of endothelial function.

Abstract
Tumor-targeted drug delivery systems are promising for their advantages in enhanced tumor accumulation and reduced toxicity towards normal organs. However, few nanomedicines have been successfully translated into clinical application. One reason is the gap between current pre-clinical and clinical studies. The prevalent in vitro models utilized in pre-clinical phase are mainly based on the two-dimensional (2D) cell culture and are limited by the difficulty of simulating three-dimensional physiological conditions in human body, such as three-dimensional (3D) architecture, cell heterogeneity, nutrient gradients and the interaction between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). In addition, traditional animal models have drawbacks such as high-cost, long periods and physiological differences between animal and human. On the other hand, the employment of 3D tumor cell culture models, especially multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS), has increased significantly in recent decades. These models have been shown to simulate 3D structures of tumors in vitro with relatively low cost and simple protocols. Currently, MCTS have also been widely exploited in drug delivery system research for comprehensive study of drug efficacy, drug penetration, receptor targeting, and cell recruitment abilities. This review summarizes the delivery barriers for nano-carriers presented in tumor microenvironment, the characteristics and formation methods for applicable multicellular tumor spheroid culture models and recent studies related to their applications in tumor-targeted drug delivery system research.

Abstract
Targeted and sustained delivery of biologicals to improve neovascularization has been focused on stimulation angiogenesis. The formation of collaterals however is hemodynamically much more efficient, but as a target of therapy has been under-utilized. Although there is good understanding of the molecular processes involving collateral formation and there are interesting drugable candidates, the need for targeting and sustained delivery is still an obstacle towards safe and effective treatment. Molecular targeting with nanoparticles of liposomes is promising and so are peri-vascularly delivered polymer-based protein reservoirs. These developments will lead to future arteriogenesis strategies that are adjunct to current revascularization.
