Blood Res 2021; 56:215-228. [PMID: 34880140 PMCID: PMC8721452 DOI: 10.5045/br.2021.2021094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2021] [Revised: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Maintaining the quality of platelet products and increasing their storage time are priorities for treatment applications. The formation of platelet storage lesions that limit the storage period and preservation temperature, which can prepare a decent environment for bacterial growth, are the most important challenges that researchers are dealing with in platelet preservation. Nanotechnology is an emerging field of science that has introduced novel solutions to resolve these problems. Here, we reviewed the reported effects of polymeric nanoparticles-including chitosan, dendrimers, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and liposome-on platelets in articles from 2010 to 2020. As a result, we concluded that the presence of dendrimer nanoparticles with a smaller size, negative charge, low molecular weight, and low concentration along with PEGylation can increase the stability and survival of platelets during storage. In addition, PEGylation of platelets can also be a promising approach to improve the quality of platelet bags during storage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) is an indolent disorder, which mainly affects older adults. Since the advent of chemoimmunotherapy, great progress has been made in its treatment. However, some patients develop a more aggressive form of the disease and are included in the group of high-risk CLL patients with a dismal prognosis and a need for new therapies. OBJECTIVE Maltotriose-modified poly(propylene imine) dendrimers were presented as potential agents in targeted therapy for CLL in the murine xenograft model. METHODS Tumour, brain and internal organs resected from NOD scid gamma mice were subjected to gross and histopathological evaluation. RESULTS The results of ex vivo tissue examination indicated that open-shell glycodendrimers prevented/inhibited the spread of CLL into the brain and internal organs and its transformation into a more aggressive form. CONCLUSION The results of the study have a potentially important impact on the design of future personalized therapies as well as clinical trials.

Maltotriose-modified poly(propylene imine) Glycodendrimers as a potential novel platform in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic Leukemia. A proof-of-concept pilot study in the animal model of CLL. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2020; 403:115139.

Abstract
Cancer nanotherapeutics have shown promise in resolving some of the limitations of conventional drug delivery systems such as nonspecific biodistribution and targeting, lack of water solubility, and low therapeutic indices, Among the various nanoparticles that are available, dendrimers, highly branched macromolecules with a specific size and shape, are one of the most promising ones. In this preliminary study, we tested the anti-tumor activity of maltotriose-modified fourth-generation poly(propylene imine) glycodendrimers (PPI-G4-M3) in vivo in the subcutaneous MEC-1 xenograft model of human chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in NOD scid gamma mice. Fludarabine was used for model validation and as a positive treatment control. The anti-tumor response was calculated as tumor volume, tumor control ratio, and tumor growth inhibition. The study showed that PPI-G4-M3 inhibited subcutaneous tumor growth more efficiently than fludarabine. The anti-tumor response was dose-dependent. Cationic PPI-G4-M3 showed the highest anti-tumor activity but also higher toxicity than the neutral dendrimers and fludarabine. These first promising results warrant further studies in the optimization of dendrimers charge, dose, route and schedule of administration to combat CLL.

Abstract
The disruption of the cellular pathways of protein biosynthesis through the mechanism of RNA interference has been recognized as a tool of great diagnostic and therapeutic significance. However, in order to fully exploit the potential of this phenomenon, efficient and safe carriers capable of overcoming extra- and intracellular barriers and delivering siRNA to the target cells are needed. Recently, attention has focused on the possibility of the application of multifunctional nanoparticles, dendrimers, as potential delivery devices for siRNA. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the formation of dendriplexes using novel poly(lysine) dendrimers (containing lysine and arginine or histidine residues in their structure), and to verify the hypothesis that the use of these polymers may allow an efficient method of siRNA transfer into the cells in vitro to be obtained. The fluorescence polarization studies, as well as zeta potential and hydrodynamic diameter measurements were used to characterize the dendrimer:siRNA complexes. The cytotoxicity of dendrimers and dendriplexes was evaluated with the resazurin-based assay. Using the flow cytometry technique, the efficiency of siRNA transport to the myeloid cells was determined. This approach allowed us to determine the properties and optimal molar ratios of dendrimer:siRNA complexes, as well as to demonstrate that poly(lysine) dendrimers may serve as efficient carriers of genetic material, being much more effective than the commercially available transfection agent Lipofectamine 2000. This outcome provides the basis for further research on the application of poly(lysine) dendrimers as carriers for nucleic acids in the field of gene therapy.

Abstract
Prion diseases, such as the sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), are a class of fatal neurodegenerative disorders. Currently, there is no efficient treatment or therapy available. Hence, the search for molecules that may inhibit the conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) into its pathological counterpart PrPScrapie (PrPSc) is of great urgency. Here, we report the generation- and dose-dependent biological action of dense-shell poly(propylene imine) (PPI) glycodendrimers by using scrapie-infected neuroblastoma (ScN2a) cells and the real-time quaking-induced conversion assay (RT-QuIC) for validation of anti-prion efficiencies. Whereas the 2nd and 3rd generation of PPI glycodendrimers exhibited anti-prion conversion efficiency in ScN2a cells validated by RT-QuIC analysis, we observed that the 4th generation of glycodendrimers had shown no significant effect. Translational RT-QuIC studies conducted with human prions derived from sCJD patients indicated an anti-prion conversion effect (not on PrPRes degradation) of PPI glycodendrimers against human prions with the highest inhibitory activity of the 4th generation of PPI glycodendrimers towards prion aggregation compared to the 2nd and 3rd generation. In conclusion, our study highlights the potential of PPI glycodendrimers as therapeutic compounds due to their anti-conversion activity on human prions in a PrPSc strain depending manner.

Abstract
In order to enhance intracellular uptake and accumulation of therapeutic nucleic acids for improved gene therapy methods, numerous delivery vectors have been elaborated. Based on their origin, gene carriers are generally classified as viral or non-viral vectors. Due to their significantly reduced immunogenicity and highly optimized methods of synthesis, nanoparticles (especially those imitating natural biomolecules) constitute a promising alternative for virus-based delivery devices. Thus, we set out to develop innovative peptide dendrimers for clinical application as transfection agents and gene carriers. In the present work we describe the synthesis of two novel lysine-based dendritic macromolecules (D3K2 and D3G2) and their initial characterization for cytotoxicity/genotoxicity and transfection potential in two human cell line models: cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa) and microvascular endothelial (HMEC-1). This approach allowed us to identify more cationic D3K2 as potent delivery agent, being able to increase intracellular accumulation of large nucleic acid molecules such as plasmids. Moreover, the dendrimers exhibited specific cytotoxicity towards cancer cell line without showing significant toxic effects on normal cells. These observations are promising prognosis for future clinical application of this type of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Metallodendrimers-dendrimers with included metals-are widely investigated as biocompatible equivalents to metal nanoparticles. Applications can be expected in the fields of catalysis, as chemical sensors in molecular recognition and as anticancer drugs. Metallodendrimers can also mimic certain biomolecules, for example, haemoprotein in the case of using a dendrimer with a porphyrin core. In previous papers, we showed the promising anticancer effects of carbosilane ruthenium dendrimers. The present paper is devoted to studying biocompatibility and the cytotoxic effect on normal and cancer cells of carbosilane ruthenium dendrimers labelled with fluorescent probe fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). The addition of fluorescent probe allowed tracking the metallodendrimer in both normal and cancer cells. It was found that carbosilane ruthenium dendrimer labelled with FITC in concentration up to 10 µmol/L was more cytotoxic for cancer cells than for normal cells. Thus, FITC labelled carbosilane ruthenium dendrimer is a good candidate for diagnostic imaging and studying anticancer effects of metallodendrimers in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Fludarabine is an anticancer antimetabolite essential for modern chemotherapy, but its efficacy is limited due to the complex pharmacokinetics. We demonstrated the potential use of maltose-modified poly(propyleneimine) dendrimer as drug delivery agent to improve the efficiency of therapy with fludarabine. In this study, we elaborated a novel synthesis technique for radioactively labeled fludarabine triphosphate to prove for the first time the direct ability of nucleotide-glycodendrimer complex to enter and kill leukemic cells, without the involvement of membrane nucleoside transporters and intracellular kinases. This will potentially allow to bypass the most common drug resistance mechanisms observed in the clinical setting. Further, we applied surface plasmon resonance and molecular modeling to elucidate the properties of the drug-dendrimer complexes. We showed that clofarabine, a more toxic nucleoside analogue drug, is characterized by significantly different molecular interactions with poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers than fludarabine, leading to different cellular outcomes (decreased rather than increased treatment efficiency). The most probable mechanistic explanation of uniquely dendrimer-enhanced fludarabine toxicity points to a crucial role of both an alternative cellular uptake pathway and the avoidance of intracellular phosphorylation of nucleoside drug form.

Abstract
The authors report on highly swellable, stable layers of spherical dendritic glycopolymers, composed of hyperbranched poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) as core and two different maltose shells (A = dense shell and B = open shell). These glycopolymers are cross-linked and attached with poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PEMA) or citric acid on SiOx substrates. The swelling and adsorption of biomolecules were analyzed by spectroscopic ellipsometry and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation. The swelling degree and complexation with the drug molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were found to be up to 10 times higher for dendritic glycopolymer layers cross-linked with PEMA than for layers cross-linked with citric acid. ATP complexation by electrostatic interaction with the PEI cores was confirmed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. Complexation led to partial collapsing, stiffening, and increase of polymer layer viscosity of the PEMA cross-linked layers. From modeling of ellipsometric data, it was deduced that ATP complexation preferably takes place at the polymer layer-solution interface. The size effect of the adsorbates was investigated by comparing ATP complexation with the adsorption of larger vitamin B12 and human serum albumin (HSA) protein. PEI-Mal A cross-linked with PEMA was found to be resistant toward B12 and HSA adsorption due to the diffusion barrier of the polymer layer. Thus, the authors present potentially biocompatible polymer surfaces for drug loading and their surface supported release.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and polycationic macromolecules are used as gene carriers. Their behaviour is dependent on several factors, such as the size and type of the framework, charge, etc. We have combined both types of systems and prepared AuNPs covered with cationic carbosilane dendrons with the aim to evaluate their biocompatibility. Water soluble dendronized cationic AuNPs were prepared following a straightforward procedure from dendrons, a gold precursor and a reducing agent in water and were characterized by 1H NMR, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV), and zeta potential (ZP). The biological properties of dendrons and AuNPs were determined by hemolysis, platelet aggregation and lymphocyte proliferation. These assays reflect modification of dendron properties when covering nanoparticles. For dendrons, hemolysis and platelet aggregation are generation dependent whilst, for AuNPs these properties are related to the bigger size of NPs. On the other hand, none of the systems induced lymphocyte proliferation. Selected cationic dendrons and AuNPs were chosen for gene delivery experiments employing a small interference RNA (siRNA Nef) against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Abstract
The lack of an appropriate intracellular delivery system for therapeutic nucleic acids (TNAs) is a major problem in molecular biology, biotechnology, and medicine. A relatively new class of highly symmetrical hyperbranched polymers, called dendrimers, shows promise for transporting small TNAs into both cells and target tissues. Dendrimers have intrinsic advantages for this purpose: their physico-chemical and biological properties can be controlled during synthesis, and they are able to transport large numbers of TNA molecules that can specifically suppress the expression of single or multiple targeted genes. Numerous chemical modifications of dendrimers extend the biocompatibility of synthetic materials and allow targeted vectors to be designed for particular therapeutic purposes. This review summarizes the latest experimental data and trends in the medical application of various types of dendrimers and dendrimer-based nanoconstructions as delivery systems for short small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs at the cell and organism levels. It provides an overview of the structural features of dendrimers, indicating their advantages over other types of TNA transporters.

Abstract
Adenosine analogue drugs (such as fludarabine or cladribine) require transporter-mediated uptake into cells and subsequent phosphorylation for anticancer activity. Therefore, application of nanocarrier systems for direct delivery of active triphosphate forms has been proposed. Here, we applied isothermal titration calorimetry and zeta potential titration to determine the stoichiometry and thermodynamic parameters of interactions between 4th generation poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers (unmodified or sugar-modified for increased biocompatibility) and ATP as a model adenosine nucleotide. We showed that glycodendrimers have the ability to efficiently interact with nucleoside triphosphates and to form stable complexes via electrostatic interactions between the ionized phosphate and amino groups on the nucleotide and the dendrimer, respectively. The complexation process is spontaneous, enthalpy-driven and depends on buffer composition (strongest interactions in organic buffer) and pH (more binding sites in acidic pH). These properties allow us to consider maltose-modified dendrimers as especially promising carriers for adenosine analogues.

Abstract
Fludarabine, a nucleoside analogue antimetabolite, has complicated pharmacokinetics requiring facilitated transmembrane transport and intracellular conversion to triphosphate nucleotide form (Ara-FATP), causing it to be susceptible to emergence of drug resistance. We are testing a promising strategy to improve its clinical efficacy by direct delivery of Ara-FATP utilizing a biocompatible glycodendrimer nanocarrier system. Here, we present results of a proof-of-concept experiment in several in vitro-cultured leukemic cell lines (CCRF, THP-1, U937) using noncovalent complexes of maltose-modified poly(propyleneimine) dendrimer and fludarabine triphosphate. We show that Ara-FATP has limited cytotoxic activity toward investigated cells relative to free nucleoside (Ara-FA), but complexation with the glycodendrimer (which does not otherwise influence cellular metabolism) drastically increases its toxicity. Moreover, we show that transport via hENT1 is a limiting step in Ara-FA toxicity, while complexation with dendrimer allows Ara-FATP to kill cells even in the presence of a hENT1 inhibitor. Thus, the use of glycodendrimers for drug delivery would allow us to circumvent naturally occurring drug resistance due to decreased transporter activity. Finally, we demonstrate that complex formation does not change the advantageous multifactorial intracellular pharmacodynamics of Ara-FATP, preserving its high capability to inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis and induce apoptosis via the intrinsic pathway. In comparison to other nucleoside analogue drugs, fludarabine is hereby demonstrated to be an optimal candidate for maltose glycodendrimer-mediated drug delivery in antileukemic therapy.

Abstract
Therapeutics based on small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) offer a great potential to treat so far incurable diseases or metastatic cancer. However, the broad application of siRNAs using various nonviral carrier systems is hampered by unspecific toxic side effects, poor pharmacokinetics due to unwanted delivery of siRNA-loaded nanoparticles into nontarget organs, or rapid renal excretion. In order to overcome these obstacles, several targeting strategies using chemically linked antibodies and ligands have emerged. This study reports a new modular polyplex carrier system for targeted delivery of siRNA, which is based on transfection-disabled maltose-modified poly(propyleneimine)-dendrimers (mal-PPI) bioconjugated to single chain fragment variables (scFvs). To achieve targeted delivery into tumor cells expressing the epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII), monobiotinylated anti-EGFRvIII scFv fused to a Propionibacterium shermanii transcarboxylase-derived biotinylation acceptor (P-BAP) is bioconjugated to mal-PPI through a novel coupling strategy solely based on biotin-neutravidin bridging. In contrast to polyplexes containing an unspecific control scFv-P-BAP, the generated EGFRvIII-specific polyplexes are able to exclusively deliver siRNA to tumor cells and tumors by receptor-mediated endocytosis. These results suggest that receptor-mediated uptake of otherwise noninternalized mal-PPI-based polyplexes is a promising avenue to improve siRNA therapy of cancer, and introduce a novel strategy for modular bioconjugation of protein ligands to nanoparticles.

Abstract
The delivery of drugs, antigens, and imaging agents benefits from using nanotechnology-based carriers. The successful translation of nanoformulations to the clinic involves thorough assessment of their safety profiles, which, among other end-points, includes evaluation of immunotoxicity. The past decade of research focusing on nanoparticle interaction with the immune system has been fruitful in terms of understanding the basics of nanoparticle immunocompatibility, developing a bioanalytical infrastructure to screen for nanoparticle-mediated immune reactions, beginning to uncover the mechanisms of nanoparticle immunotoxicity, and utilizing current knowledge about the structure-activity relationship between nanoparticles' physicochemical properties and their effects on the immune system to guide safe drug delivery. In the present review, we focus on the most prominent pieces of the nanoparticle-immune system puzzle and discuss the achievements, disappointments, and lessons learned over the past 15years of research on the immunotoxicity of engineered nanomaterials.

An In Vitro Thrombolysis Study Using a Mixture of Fast-Acting and Slower Release Microspheres. Pharm Res 2016; 33:1552-63. [PMID: 26964547 DOI: 10.1007/s11095-016-1897-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2015] [Accepted: 03/01/2016] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that a mixture combining fast and slower release rate microspheres can restore blood flow rapidly and prevent formation of another blockage in thrombolysis. METHODS We used polyethylene glycol (PEG) microspheres which provide the release of the encapsulated streptokinase (SK) on the scale of minutes, and Eudragit FS30D (Eud), a polymethacrylate polymer, for development of delayed release microspheres which were desirable to prevent a putative second thrombus. Eud microspheres were coated with chitosan (CS) to further extend half-life. Experiments included the development, characterization of Eud/SK and CS-Eud/SK microspheres, and in vitro thrombolytic studies of the mixtures of PEG/SK and Eud /SK microspheres and of PEG/SK and CS-Eud/SK microspheres. RESULTS CS-Eud/SK microspheres have slightly lower encapsulation efficiency, reduced activity of SK, and a much slower release of SK when compared with microspheres of Eud/SK microspheres. Counter-intuitively, slower release leads to faster thrombolysis after reocclusion as a result of greater retention of agent and the mechanism of distributed intraclot thrombolysis. CONCLUSIONS A mixture of PEG/SK and CS-Eud/SK microspheres could break up the blood clot rapidly while providing clot-lytic efficacy in prevention of a second blockage up to 4 h.

Abstract
Poly(propylene imine) (PPI) dendrimers contained surface maltose modification are proposed as drug carriers for nucleoside analog (NA) 5'-triphosphates. The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions between PPI dendrimers of 3rd (G3) or 4th (G4) generation and cytidine-5'-triphosphate (CTP) by Isothermal Titration Calorimetry method. CTP was used as a model molecule of pyrimidine nucleoside analog-cytarabine (ara-CTP) commonly used in leukemia treatment. Complexes of PPI dendrimers with NAs may help to overcome severe limitations of NAs associated with their low solubility and stability or resistance in cancer cells. In the present work, we evaluated stoichiometry and a mechanism of forming complexes between dendrimers and the nucleotide. Moreover, we examined the efficiency of complex formation in relation to dendrimer generations, a type of dendrimer modification with maltose residues and a type of solvent. It was observed that PPI dendrimers create complexes with CTP with high efficiency that makes them promising candidates for a drug delivery system.

Abstract
Cationic antimicrobial peptides (cAMPs) serve as effective components of the innate host defense against microbial infections. cAMPs often show broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, but narrow-band activity is also observed. Despite their great potential, the polycationic nature of cAMPs could cause serious side effects once in the bloodstream which may limit their applications. However, there is very limited knowledge available on AMPs interaction with blood components in spite of the fact that the most likely route of administration to treat systemic microbial infections for these peptides is intravenous, where they immediately come in contact with all blood components. In order to evaluate the therapeutic potential of cAMPs as new alternative to antibiotics, we investigated the impact of cathelicidin related cAMPs on red blood cell lysis, aggregation, platelet activation, blood coagulation, and complement activation. The influence of cAMPs on blood depends on hydrophobicity and number of charges in the peptides. The hemolytic activity of cathelicidin (bactenecin) variants was much less than that of indolicidin due to their lower hydrophobicity. Except indolicidin, none of the peptides induce platelet activation. Some of bactenecin variants (R3, Sub3 and W3) with higher charge inhibited the blood coagulation. The cAMPs did not activate or inhibit complement at the concentrations studied, expect for the peptide (Sub3). Our data shows that it is important to investigate cAMP-based drug candidates regarding their interaction with blood components early on in the development process. We anticipate that this new knowledge on blood interaction of antimicrobial peptides will help to design peptides with a better therapeutic window and with less side effects.

Abstract
The influence of maltose-modified poly(propylene imine) (PPI) dendrimers on dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) or dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPC/DMPG) (3%) liposomes was studied. Fourth generation (G4) PPI dendrimers with primary amino surface groups were partially (open shell glycodendrimers - OS) or completely (dense shell glycodendrimers - DS) modified with maltose residues. As a model membrane, two types of 100nm diameter liposomes were used to observe differences in the interactions between neutral DMPC and negatively charged DMPC/DMPG bilayers. Interactions were studied using fluorescence spectroscopy to evaluate the membrane fluidity of both the hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts of the lipid bilayer and using differential scanning calorimetry to investigate thermodynamic parameter changes. Pulsed-filed gradient NMR experiments were carried out to evaluate common diffusion coefficient of DMPG and DS PPI in D2O when using below critical micelle concentration of DMPG. Both OS and DS PPI G4 dendrimers show interactions with liposomes. Neutral DS dendrimers exhibit stronger changes in membrane fluidity compared to OS dendrimers. The bilayer structure seems more rigid in the case of anionic DMPC/DMPG liposomes in comparison to pure and neutral DMPC liposomes. Generally, interactions of dendrimers with anionic DMPC/DMPG and neutral DMPC liposomes were at the same level. Higher concentrations of positively charged OS dendrimers induced the aggregation process with negatively charged liposomes. For all types of experiments, the presence of NaCl decreased the strength of the interactions between glycodendrimers and liposomes. Based on NMR diffusion experiments we suggest that apart from electrostatic interactions for OS PPI hydrogen bonds play a major role in maltose-modified PPI dendrimer interactions with anionic and neutral model membranes where a contact surface is needed for undergoing multiple H-bond interactions between maltose shell of glycodendrimers and surface membrane of liposome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gene therapy is one of the most effective ways to treat major infectious diseases, cancer and genetic disorders. It is based on several viral and non-viral systems for nucleic acid delivery. The number of clinical trials based on application of non-viral drug and gene delivery systems is rapidly increasing. AREAS COVERED This review discusses and summarizes recent advances in poly(amidoamine) dendrimers as effective gene carriers in vitro and in vivo, and their advantages and disadvantages relative to viral vectors and other non-viral systems (liposomes, linear polymers) are considered. EXPERT OPINION In this regard, dendrimers are non-immunogenic and have the highest efficiency of transfection among other non-viral systems, and none of the drawbacks characteristic for viral systems. The toxicity of dendrimers both in vitro and in vivo is an important question that has been addressed on many occasions. Several non-toxic and efficient multifunctional dendrimer-based conjugates for gene delivery, along with modifications to improve transfection efficiency while decreasing cytotoxicity, are discussed. Twelve paradigms that affected the development of dendrimer-based gene delivery are described. The conclusion is that dendrimers are promising candidates for gene delivery, but this is just the beginning and further studies are required before using them in human gene therapy.

Abstract
In most articles, cytotoxicity of cationic polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers toward red blood cells has been exclusively explained by their surface charge. We have focused on dendrimer hydrophobicity as a second possible factor that determines this cytotoxicity. Using PAMAM-NH2 dendrimers from the 3rd to the 6th generations and PAMAM-NH2-C12(25%) dendrimer of the 4th generation bearing 25% acyl groups, these induced hemolysis that increased with their surface charge and hydrophobicity. Interaction of PAMAM-NH2-C12(25%) G4 dendrimer with blood proteins (γ-globulin, α-thrombin, human serum albumin) and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) significantly reduced their cytotoxicity toward red blood cells.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in Europe and North America. For many years scientists and doctors have been working on introducing the most effective therapy into CLL as prognosis of survival time and the course of the disease differ among patients, which might pose a problem in treating. Nanotechnology is providing new insights into diagnosis and, compared with conventional treatments, more efficient treatments, which might improve patients' comfort by decreasing side effects. Among the various nanoparticles that are available, dendrimers are one of the most promising. The aim of this study was a preliminary assessment of the clinical value of treating CLL patients with fourth generation poly(propylene imine) (PPI) dendrimers-either unmodified (PPI-G4) or approximately 90% maltotriose-modified (PPI-G4-DS-Mal-III). PPI-G4-DS-Mal-III dendrimers have, in contrast to the cationic PPI-G4, a neutral surface charge and are characterized by low cyto-, geno-, and hematotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. For the in vitro study we used blood mononuclear cells collected from both untreated CLL patients and from healthy donors. Apoptosis was measured by an annexin-V (Ann-V)/propidium iodide (IP) assay, and mitochondrial membrane potential was estimated with use of Mito Tracker Red CMXRos. Presented results confirm the influence of dendrimers PPI-G4 and PPI-G4-DS-Mal-III on apoptosis and CLL lymphocytes viability in in vitro cultures. Both tested dendrimers demonstrated higher cytotoxicity to CLL cells than to healthy donors cells, whereas unmodified dendrimers were more hematotoxic. The surface modification clearly makes glycodendrimers much more suitable for biomedical applications than unmodified PPI-G4; therefore further biological evaluations of these nanoparticles are conducted in our laboratories.

Poly(propylene imine) dendrimers modified with maltose or maltotriose protect phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides against nuclease activity. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2012; 427:197-201.

Abstract
The antisense oligonucleotides are promising agents for application in anti-HIV therapies. The antiretroviral nucleoside analogues administrated into circulatory system are vulnerable to nuclease degradation and require a vehicle which would not only facilitate therapeutic nucleotides into host cells, but would also provide protection against enzymatic degradation. Such potential is exhibited by poly(propylene imine) dendrimers - the branched cationic polymers easily interacting with oligonucleotides to form complexes called "dendriplexes". The aim of the present study was to evaluate the abilities of the fourth generation poly(propylene imine) dendrimers partially modified with maltose (PPI-Mal G4) or maltotriose (PPI-Mal-III G4) to protect anti-HIV antisense oligonucleotides (ODNs) from nucleolytic degradation. The ODNs (AT, GEM91, SREV) were complexed with dendrimers and subjected to cleavage by serum nucleases or endonuclease S1. The results showed that all examined dendrimers protected ODNs against nucleases contained in FBS. Both PPI-Mal G4 and PPI-Mal-III G4 dendrimers completely prevented ODNs digestion by nuclease S1 at neutral pH. The protective capabilities of investigated dendrimers were significantly weaker in acidic environment. The time stability assay showed that the dendriplexes formed by AT, GEM91, SREV and carbohydrate-modified PPI G4 dendrimers still existed after 12h incubation both in low and at neutral pH buffers. The conformational change of dendriplexes in acidic environment was proposed as possible phenomenon leading to exposition of ODNs to nuclease attack and significantly diminishing dendriplexes' resistance to nucleolitic digestion.
