Abstract
Nanodelivery of drugs aims to ensure drug stability in the face of adverse biochemical conditions in the course of administration, concomitant with appropriate pharmacological action provided by delivery at the targeted site. In this study, the application potential of a nanoparticle produced with biopolymers chitosan-N-arginine and alginate as an oral drug delivery material is evaluated. Both macromolecules being weak polyelectrolytes, the nanoparticle presents strong thermodynamic interactions with a biological model membrane consisting of a charged lipid liposome bilayer, leading to membrane disruption and membrane penetration of the nanoparticles in ideal conditions of pH corresponding to the oral route. The powder form of the nanoparticle was obtained by lyophilization and with a high percentage of entrapment of the anthelmintic drug praziquantel. In vivo studies were conducted with oral administration to Corydoras schwartzi fish with high intensity of intestinal parasites infection. The in vivo experiments confirmed the mucoadhesive and revealed membrane-penetrating properties of the nanoparticle by translocating the parasite cyst, which provided target drug release and reduction of over 97% of the fish intestinal parasites. Thus, it was evidenced that the nanoparticle was effective in transporting and releasing the drug to the target, providing an efficient treatment.

Abstract
The use of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) has been established in nanocarriers, diagnostics, and biosensors. Access to the targeted sites of these nanomaterials could directly involve the first line of defense, the innate immune system. Charges of nanomaterials play a critical role in a number of aspects such as stabilization, cellular uptake, modulation, and function of cells. Interactions and modulations of the charged nanomaterials against the innate immune system may occur even at very low concentration. To understand the effects of charges on monocyte behavior, in this study, the positively and negatively charged AuNP (AuNP+ve and AuNP-ve) of the similar size and shape on cytotoxicity, recognition, cellular behavior, and function were evaluated in vitro using U937 human monocyte cells as an innate immunity model. Both types of AuNP at various concentrations (0-5 nM) exhibited low toxicity. In addition, the cellular internalization of the AuNP+ve and AuNP-ve, as determined by TEM, occurred by different mechanisms, and the internalization had no effect on cellular destruction, as implied by the low levels of %LDH. Interestingly, the AuNP+ve recognition and internalization seemingly entered cells through receptor dependence and strongly affected cellular response to express both pro-inflammatory (IL-1β) and anti-inflammatory (TGF-β) cytokines, while the AuNP-ve stimulated TNF-α expression. Nevertheless, the AuNP-treated cells maintained normal function when exposed to planktonic bacteria. Thus, these results indicated that one part of the immune system interacted with different surface-charged AuNP, suggesting appropiate immunomodulation in biomedicine.

Abstract
Prominent tumor-cell nucleus targeting of radiosensitizer substantially affects the therapeutic consequence of advanced tumor radiotherapy via lethal nucleus DNA damage. Herein, ultrasmall iridium nanocrystals (Ir NCs, <5 nm) are constructed for efficient tumor-specific photonic hyperthermia-synergized radiotherapy. To endow the NCs with qualified cell nucleus-targeting performance, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified Ir NCs are decorated with αv β3 integrin-targeting cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic (c(RGDyC)), designated as RGD, peptides and human immunodeficiency virus-1 transactivator of transcription protein(TAT), respectively, facilitating the tumor-cell-membrane (with overexpressed αv β3 integrin) and cell-nucleus targeting. The formulated Ir-RGD-TAT (Ir-R/T) NCs are demonstrated to accumulate inside the nucleus of tumor cells and generate effective DNA lesions upon X-ray irradiation. Further in vivo evaluations verify the satisfactory carcinoma destruction performance against 4T1 tumor xenografts. Importantly, the intriguing photonic NIR adsorption of Ir-R/T NCs has enabled the hyperthermia therapeutics accompanied with photoacoustic imaging modalities, achieving clinically promising biocompatible multifunctional radiosensitized nanoplatforms for effective tumor therapeutics.

Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20071531. [PMID: 30934689 PMCID: PMC6480951 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20071531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2019] [Revised: 03/20/2019] [Accepted: 03/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aims to improve the cytotoxicity and potency of cisplatin-loaded polybutylcyanoacrylate (PBCA) nanoparticles (NPs) for the treatment of lung cancer through the modulation of temperature and polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentration as effective factors affecting the NPs’ properties. The NPs were synthesized using an anionic polymerization method and were characterized in terms of size, drug loading efficiency, drug release profile, cytotoxicity effects, drug efficacy, and drug side effects. In this regard, dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) methods, and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were used. The results showed that the size and the drug loading efficiency of the synthesized spherical NPs were 355–386 nm and 14–19%, respectively. Also, the drug release profile showed a controlled and slow drug release pattern with approximately 10% drug release over 48 h. In addition, the NPs significantly increased the cytotoxicity of the cisplatin in vitro environment by approximately 2 times and enhanced the therapeutic effects of the drug in vivo environment by increasing the survival time of lung-cancer-bearing mice by 20% compared to the standard drug receiver group. Also, the nanoformulation decreased the drug toxicity in an in vivo environment. According to the results, increasing the temperature and PEG concentration improved the properties of the drug loading efficiency, drug release profile, and cytotoxicity effect of drug-loaded NPs. Consequently, the synthesized formulation increased the survival of tumor-bearing mice and simultaneously decreased the cisplatin toxicity effects. In conclusion, the prepared nanoformulation can be considered a promising candidate for further evaluation for possible therapeutic use in the treatment of lung cancer.
