Saha P, Ahmad F. Neuroprotective, Anti-Inflammatory and Antifibrillogenic Offerings by Emodin against Alzheimer's Dementia: A Systematic Review. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:7296-7309. [PMID: 38405501 PMCID: PMC10882671 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is among the major causes of dementia in the elderly and exerts tremendous clinical, psychological and socio-economic constraints. Currently, there are no effective disease-modifying/retarding anti-AD agents. Emodin is a bioactive phytochemical with potent multimodal anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antifibrillogenic properties. In particular, emodin may result in significant repression of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying AD. The purpose of this review is to accumulate and summarize all the primary research data evaluating the therapeutic actions of emodin in AD pathogenesis. Methodology: The search, selection, and retrieval of pertinent primary research articles were systematically performed using a methodically designed approach. A variety of keyword combinations were employed on online scholarly web-databases. Strict preset inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to select the retrieved studies. Data from the individual studies were summarized and compiled into different sections, based upon their findings. Results: Cellular and animal research indicates that emodin exerts robust multimodal neuroprotection in AD. While emodin effectively prevents tau and amyloid-beta (Aβ) oligomerization, it also mitigates their neurotoxicity by attenuating neuroinflammatory, oxidative, and bioenergetic defects. Evidences for emodin-mediated enhancements in memory, learning, and cognition were also found in the literature. Conclusion: Emodin is a potential anti-AD dietary supplement; however, further studies are warrantied to thoroughly understand its target players and mechanisms. Moreover, human clinical data on emodin-mediated amelioration of AD phenotype is largely lacking, and must be addressed in the future. Lastly, the safety of exogenously supplemented emodin must be thoroughly evaluated.

Abstract
Reconstructive surgery is a complex and demanding interdisciplinary field. One of the major challenges is the production of sizeable, implantable, inexpensive bioprostheses such as breast implants. In this study, porous hybrid hydrogels were fabricated by a combinatorial method using decellularized human placenta (dHplacenta) and silk fibroin. Histology was used to confirm the acellularity of the dHplacenta. The physio-chemical properties of the hydrogels were evaluated using SEM, FTIR, and rheological assays. The synthesized hydrogels exhibited a uniform 3-D microstructure with an interconnected porous network, and the hybrid hydrogels with a 30/70 ratio had improved mechanical properties compared to the other hydrogels. Hybrid hydrogels were also cultured with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs). Liposuction was used to obtain adipose tissue from patients, which was then characterized using flow cytometry and karyotyping. The results showed that CD34 and CD31 were downregulated, whereas CD105 and CD90 were upregulated in ADSCs, indicating a phenotype resembling to that of mesenchymal stem cells from the human bone marrow. Moreover, after re-cellularized hydrogel, the live/dead assay and SEM analysis confirmed that most viability and cellular expansion on the hydrogels contained higher ratios of dHplacenta (30/70) than the other two groups. All these findings recapitulated that the 30/70 dHplacenta/silk fibroin hydrogel can perform as an excellent substrate for breast tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy among women worldwide. In recent years, significant progress has been made in BC therapy. However, serious side effects resulting from the use of standard chemotherapeutic drugs, as well as the phenomenon of multidrug resistance (MDR), limit the effectiveness of approved therapies. Advanced research in the BC area is necessary to create more effective and safer forms of therapy to improve the outlook for individuals diagnosed with this aggressive neoplasm. For decades, plants and natural products with anticancer properties have been successfully utilized in treating various medical conditions. Anthraquinone derivatives are tricyclic secondary metabolites of natural origin that have been identified in plants, lichens, and fungi. They represent a few botanical families, e.g., Rhamnaceae, Rubiaceae, Fabaceae, Polygonaceae, and others. The review comprehensively covers and analyzes the most recent advances in the anticancer activity of 1,8-dihydroanthraquinone derivatives (emodin, aloe-emodin, hypericin, chrysophanol, rhein, and physcion) applied both individually, or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents, in in vitro and in vivo BC models. The application of nanoparticles for in vitro and in vivo evidence in the context of 1,8-dihydroanthraquinone derivatives was also described.

Abstract
Bone tissue exhibits critical factors for metastatic cancer cells and represents an extremely pleasant spot for further growth of tumors. The number of metastatic bone lesions and primary tumors that arise directly from cells comprised in the bone milieu is constantly increasing. Bioceramics have recently received significant attention in bone tissue engineering and local drug delivery applications. Additionally, additive manufacturing of bioceramics offers unprecedented advantages including the possibilities to fill irregular voids after the resection and fabricate patient-specific implants. Herein, we investigated the recent advances in additively manufactured bioceramics and ceramic-based composites that were used in the local bone tumor treatment and reconstruction of bone tumor defects. Furthermore, it has been extensively explained how to bi-functionalize ceramics-based biomaterials and what current limitations impede their clinical application. We have also discussed the importance of further development into ceramic-based biomaterials and molecular biology of bone tumors to: (1) discover new potential therapeutic targets to enhance conventional therapies, (2) local delivering of bio-molecular agents in a customized and "smart" way, and (3) accomplish a complete elimination of tumor cells in order to prevent tumor recurrence formation. We emphasized that by developing the research focus on the introduction of novel 3D-printed bioceramics with unique properties such as stimuli responsiveness, it will be possible to fabricate smart bioceramics that promote bone regeneration while minimizing the side-effects and effectively eradicate bone tumors while promoting bone regeneration. In fact, by combining all these therapeutic strategies and additive manufacturing, it is likely to provide personalized tumor-targeting therapies for cancer patients in the foreseeable future. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To increase the survival rates of cancer patients, different strategies such as surgery, reconstruction, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc have proven to be essential. Nonetheless, these therapeutic protocols have reached a plateau in their effectiveness due to limitations including drug resistance, tumor recurrence after surgery, toxic side-effects, and impaired bone regeneration following tumor resection. Hence, novel approaches to specifically and locally attack cancer cells, while also regenerating the damaged bony tissue, have being developed in the past years. This review sheds light to the novel approaches that enhance local bone tumor therapy and reconstruction procedures by combining additive manufacturing of ceramic biomaterials and other polymers, bioactive molecules, nanoparticles to affect bone tumor functions, metabolism, and microenvironment.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the rational fabrication of a magnetic composite nanofiber mesh that can achieve mutual synergy of hyperthermia, chemotherapy, and thermo-molecularly targeted therapy for highly potent therapeutic effects. The nanofiber is composed of biodegradable poly(ε-caprolactone) with doxorubicin, magnetic nanoparticles, and 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin. The nanofiber exhibits distinct hyperthermia, owing to the presence of magnetic nanoparticles upon exposure of the mesh to an alternating magnetic field, which causes heat-induced cell killing as well as enhanced chemotherapeutic efficiency of doxorubicin. The effectiveness of hyperthermia is further enhanced through the inhibition of heat shock protein activity after hyperthermia by releasing the inhibitor 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin. These findings represent a smart nanofiber system for potent cancer therapy and may provide a new approach for the development of localized medication delivery.

Abstract
We develop and characterize a biomaterial formulation and robotic methods tailored for intracorporeal tissue engineering (TE) via direct-write (DW) 3D printing. Intracorporeal TE is defined as the biofabrication of 3D TE scaffolds inside of a living patient, in a minimally invasive manner. A biomaterial for intracorporeal TE requires to be 3D printable and crosslinkable via mechanisms that are safe to native tissues and feasible at physiological temperature (37 °C). The cell-laden biomaterial (bioink) preparation and bioprinting methods must support cell viability. Additionally, the biomaterial and bioprinting method must enable the spatially accurate intracorporeal 3D delivery of the biomaterial, and the biomaterial must adhere to or integrate into the native tissue. Current biomaterial formulations do not meet all the presumed intracorporeal DW TE requirements. We demonstrate that a specific formulation of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)/Laponite®/methylcellulose (GLM) biomaterial system can be 3D printed at physiological temperature and crosslinked using visible light to construct 3D TE scaffolds with clinically relevant dimensions and consistent structures. Cell viability of 71%-77% and consistent mechanical properties over 21 d are reported. Rheological modifiers, Laponite® and methylcellulose, extend the degradation time of the scaffolds. The DW modality enables the piercing of the soft tissue and over-extrusion of the biomaterial into the tissue, creating a novel interlocking mechanism with soft, hydrated native tissue mimics and animal muscle with a 3.5-4 fold increase in the biomaterial/tissue adhesion strength compared to printing on top of the tissue. The developed GLM biomaterial and robotic interlocking mechanism pave the way towards intracorporeal TE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of scaffold-mediated localized chemotherapy in cancer. METHODS Databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and SCOPUS were searched for articles reporting the use of scaffold-mediated localized drug delivery in cancer. Essential data including scaffold fabrication material and methods, drug dosage and release duration and its effect on the cancer cells were extracted. RESULTS 15 articles out of 60 screened, fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Among the 15 studies, 5 studies included only cell lines and 2 studies were on mouse models, while 8 studies involved a combination of cell lines and mouse models. Scaffold materials included both synthetic polymers such as poly-lactide, polycaprolactone and natural materials including d-periosteum and human micro-fragmented adipose tissueA wide number of other variables included the fabrication procedure, drugs used, and the methods used to assess the effects on cancer. As a result, it was not possible to make any direct comparison of the efficacy of the therapeutic strategy used in each of these studies. CONCLUSION Irrespective of the many variables, a common consensus in all the included studies was that scaffold mediated localized drug delivery effectively reduced cancer cell viability by increasing drug bioavailability to the target tissue, while its localized effect reduced the risk of systemic toxicity.

Abstract
IMPACT STATEMENT In tissue engineering (TE), the establishment of cell targeting materials, which mimic the conditions of the physiological extracellular matrix (ECM), seems to be a mission impossible without advanced materials and fabrication techniques. With this in mind we established a toolbox based on (D,L)-lactide-ɛ-caprolactone methacrylate (LCM) copolymers in combination with a nano-micromaskless lithography technique, the two-photon polymerization (2-PP) to mimic the hierarchical structured and complex milieu of the natural ECM. To demonstrate the versatility of this toolbox, we choose two completely different application scenarios in bone and tumor TE to show the high potential of this concept in therapeutic and diagnostic application.

Abstract
The treatment of melanoma requires complete removal of tumor cells and simultaneous tissue regeneration of tumor-initiated cutaneous defects. Herein, copper silicate hollow microspheres (CSO HMSs)-incorporated bioactive scaffolds were designed for chemo-photothermal therapy of skin cancers and regeneration of skin tissue. CSO HMSs were synthesized with interior hollow and external nanoneedle microstructure, showing excellent drug-loading capacity and photothermal effects. With incorporation of drug-loaded CSO HMSs into the electrospun scaffolds, the composite scaffolds exhibited excellent photothermal effects and controlled NIR-triggered drug release, leading to distinctly synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy of skin cancer both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, such CSO HMSs-incorporated scaffolds could promote proliferation and attachment of normal skin cells and accelerate skin tissue healing in tumor-bearing and diabetic mice. Taken together, CSO HMSs-incorporated scaffolds may be used for complete eradication of the remaining tumor cells after surgery and simultaneous tissue healing, which offers an effective strategy for therapy and regeneration of tumor-initiated tissue defects.

Versatility of Chitosan-Based Biomaterials and Their Use as Scaffolds for Tissue Regeneration. ScientificWorldJournal 2017; 2017:8639898. [PMID: 28567441 PMCID: PMC5439263 DOI: 10.1155/2017/8639898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2016] [Revised: 03/10/2017] [Accepted: 04/03/2017] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Chitosan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide obtained from chitin, present in abundance in the exoskeletons of crustaceans and insects. It has aroused great interest as a biomaterial for tissue engineering on account of its biocompatibility and biodegradation and its affinity for biomolecules. A significant number of research groups have investigated the application of chitosan as scaffolds for tissue regeneration. However, there is a wide variability in terms of physicochemical characteristics of chitosan used in some studies and its combinations with other biomaterials, making it difficult to compare results and standardize its properties. The current systematic review of literature on the use of chitosan for tissue regeneration consisted of a study of 478 articles in the PubMed database, which resulted, after applying inclusion criteria, in the selection of 61 catalogued, critically analysed works. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of chitosan-based biomaterials in 93.4% of the studies reviewed, whether or not combined with cells and growth factors, in the regeneration of various types of tissues in animals. However, the absence of clinical studies in humans, the inadequate experimental designs, and the lack of information concerning chitosan's characteristics limit the reproducibility and relevance of studies and the clinical applicability of chitosan.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has been providing exciting technologies for the development of functional substitutes aimed to repair and regenerate damaged tissues and organs. Inspired by the hierarchical nature of bone, nanostructured biomaterials are gaining a singular attention for tissue engineering, owing their ability to promote cell adhesion and proliferation, and hence new bone growth, compared with conventional microsized materials. Of particular interest are nanocomposites involving biopolymeric matrices and bioactive nanosized fillers. Biodegradability, high mechanical strength, and osteointegration and formation of ligamentous tissue are properties required for such materials. Biopolymers are advantageous due to their similarities with extracellular matrices, specific degradation rates, and good biological performance. By its turn, calcium phosphates possess favorable osteoconductivity, resorbability, and biocompatibility. Herein, an overview on the available natural polymer/calcium phosphate nanocomposite materials, their design, and properties is presented. Scaffolds, hydrogels, and fibers as biomimetic strategies for tissue engineering, and processing methodologies are described. The specific biological properties of the nanocomposites, as well as their interaction with cells, including the use of bioactive molecules, are highlighted. Nanocomposites in vivo studies using animal models are also reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
To avoid the indiscriminating action of anticancer drugs, the cancer cell specific targeting of drug molecule becomes a preferred choice for the treatment. The successful screening of the drug molecules in 2D culture system requires further validation. The failure of target specific drug in animal model raises the issue of creating a platform in between the in vitro (2D) and in vivo animal testing. The metastatic breast cancer cells migrate and settle at different sites such as bone tissue. This work evaluates the in vitro 3D model of the breast cancer and bone cells to understand the cellular interactions in the presence of a targeted anticancer drug delivery system. The silk fibroin based cytocompatible 3D scaffold is used as in vitro 3D distribution model. Human breast adenocarcinoma and osteoblast like cells are cocultured to evaluate the efficiency of doxorubicin loaded folic acid conjugated silk fibroin nanoparticle as drug delivery system. Decreasing population of the cancer cells, which lower the levels of vascular endothelial growth factors, glucose consumption, and lactate production are observed in the drug treated coculture constructs. The drug treated constructs do not show any major impact on bone mineralization. The diminished expression of osteogenic markers such as osteocalcein and alkaline phosphatase are recorded. The result indicates that this type of silk based 3D in vitro coculture model may be utilized as a bridge between the traditional 2D and animal model system to evaluate the new drug molecule (s) or to reassay the known drug molecules or to develop target specific drug in cancer research.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems are appealing because, among other properties, they are easily manufactured and have the capacity to encapsulate a wide variety of drugs, many of which are not directly miscible with water. This review classifies nanoparticles into three broad categories based upon material composition: bio-inspired systems, synthetic systems, and inorganic systems. Each has distinct properties suitable for drug delivery applications, including their structure, composition, and pharmacokinetics (including clearance and uptake mechanisms), making each uniquely suitable for certain types of drugs. Furthermore, nanoparticles can be customized, making them ideal for a variety of applications. Advantages and disadvantages of the different systems are discussed. Strategies for improving nanoparticle efficacy include adding targeting agents on the nanoparticle surface, altering the degradation profile to control drug release, or PEGylating the surface to increase circulation times and reduce immediate clearance by the kidneys. The future of nanoparticle systems seems to be focused on further improving overall patient outcome by increasing delivery accuracy to the target area.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential suitability of an artificial membrane composed of silk fibroin (SF) functionalized by different ratios of chitosan (CS) as a substrate for the stroma of the cornea. Keratocytes were cultured on translucent membranes made of SF and CS with different ratios. The biophysical properties of the silk fibroin and chitosan (SF/CS) membrane were examined. The SF/CS showed tensile strengths that increased as the CS concentration increased, but the physical and mechanical properties of chitosan-functionalized silk fibroin scaffolds weakened significantly compared with those of native corneas. The resulting cell scaffolds were evaluated using western blot in addition to light and electron microscopy. The cell attachment and proliferation on the scaffold were similar to those on a plastic plate. Keratocytes cultured in serum on SF/CS exhibited stellate morphology along with a marked increase in the expression of keratocan compared with identical cultures on tissue culture plastics. The biocompatibility was tested by transplanting the acellular membrane into rabbit corneal stromal pockets. There was no inflammatory complication detected at any time point on the macroscopic level. Taken together, these results indicate that SF/CS holds promise as a substrate for corneal reconstruction.

Abstract
Silk fibroin (SF) is a biopolymer with distinguishing features from many other bio- as well as synthetic polymers. From a biomechanical and drug delivery perspective, SF combines remarkable versatility for scaffolding (solid implants, hydrogels, threads, solutions), with advanced mechanical properties and good stabilization and controlled delivery of entrapped protein and small molecule drugs, respectively. It is this combination of mechanical and pharmaceutical features which renders SF so exciting for biomedical applications. This pattern along with the versatility of this biopolymer has been translated into progress for musculoskeletal applications. We review the use and potential of silk fibroin for systemic and localized delivery of therapeutics in diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system. We also present future directions for this biopolymer as well as the necessary research and development steps for their achievement.
