Vo GV, Rao KM, Chung I, Ha CS, An SSA, Yun YH. Derivatization of Hyaluronan to Target Neuroblastoma and Neuroglioma Expressing CD44. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:836. [PMID: 38931956 PMCID: PMC11207210 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16060836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Therapeutics for actively targeting over-expressed receptors are of great interest because the majority of diseased tissues originate from normal cells and do not possess a unique receptor from which they can be differentiated. One such receptor is CD44, which has been shown to be highly overexpressed in many breast cancers and other types of cancer cells. While CD44 has been documented to express low levels in normal adult neurons, astrocytes, and microglia, this receptor may be overexpressed by neuroblastoma and neuroglioma. If differential expression exists between normal and cancerous cells, hyaluronan (HA) could be a useful carrier that targets carcinomas. Thus, HA was conjugated with resveratrol (HA-R), and its efficacy was tested on cortical-neuroblastoma hybrid, neuroblastoma, and neuroglioma cells. Confocal and flow cytometry showed these cells express CD44 and are able to bind and uptake HA-R. The toxicity of HA-R correlated well with CD44 expression in this study. Therefore, conjugating resveratrol and other chemotherapeutics to HA could minimize the side effects for normal cells within the brain and nervous system and could be a viable strategy for developing targeted therapies.

Abstract
Despite advances in cancer therapy, the discovery of effective cancer treatments remains challenging. In this study, a simple method was developed to increase the efficiency of doxorubicin (DOX) delivery in a lung metastasis model. This method comprises a simple configuration to increase the delivery efficiency via precise engineering of the size, shape, loading content, and biodegradability of the drug delivery system. This system had a 3 μm discoidal shape and exerted approximately 90% burst release of the drug within the first 24 h. There was no cytotoxicity of the drug carrier up to a concentration of 1 mg ml-1, and DOX from the carrier was delivered into the cancer cells, exhibiting an anticancer effect comparable to that of the free drug. The ex vivo results revealed a strong correlation between the location of cancer cells in the lung and the location of DOX delivered by this drug delivery system. These drug carriers were confirmed to intensively deliver DOX to cancer cells in the lung, with minimal off-target effects. These findings indicate that this delivery system can be a new approach to improving the survival rate and reducing the side effects caused by anticancer drugs without the use of targeting ligands and polyethylene glycol.

Abstract
Bacterial polysaccharides can be easily modified to offer dual stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems with double targeting potential. In this research work, bacterial polysaccharides hyaluronic acid (HA) were functionalized with α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) and cholic acid (CA) to form multifunctional polysaccharides nanoconjugates (TPGS-HA-CA). Smart nanoconjugates were synthesized by forming a redox-responsive disulfide bond, and it is composed of double targeting ligands. Doxorubicin (DOX) encapsulated smart nanoconjugates were exhibited an average size of 200 nm with a uniform core-shell structure. It serves the pH-responsive side chain modulation of TPGS-HA-CA, which affords a high degree of swelling at acidic pH. Under the pH 5.0 it shows 57% of release due to the side chain modulation of C-H/N-H. Polysaccharides nanoconjugates exhibited the double stimuli-responsive drug delivery by rapid disassembly of disulfide linkage, which exhibited 72% drug release (pH 5.0+GSH 10 mM). In cytotoxic studies, DOX@TPGS-HA-CA exhibited a higher cytotoxic effect compared to DOX. Hyaluronic acid functionalization with CA, TPGS increases cell internalization, and dual stimuli activity promotes more cell death. Overall, multifunctional polysaccharides hydrogel nanoconjugates is a prospective material that has great potential for targeting breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this study, hyaluronic acid-zinc oxide ((HA-ZnO) nanocomposite hydrogels (NCHs) were prepared by one-pot synthesis method. In particular, one-pot process facilitated the rapid formation of a network structure of HA hydrogel with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) crosslinker followed by the formation of ZnO nanobelt-like structures, which was confirmed using 1H NMR, FTIR, XRD, and SEM techniques. The rheology, swelling, and biodegradable behavior were assessed. The cell proliferation and adhesion were retained (similar to HA hydrogels) after the incorporation of ZnO in the hydrogels treated with Human Skin Fibroblasts (CCD-986k). An examination of the hemostatic property of the hydrogels confirmed the good hemostatic properties of HA-ZnO NCHs. An antibacterial study against both gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria revealed their excellent antibacterial efficacy. However, the antiadhesive bacterial property of HA hydrogels was slightly reduced with the incorporation of ZnO. In summary, one-pot synthesis of ZnO nanobelt-like structures in HA hydrogels may be excellent candidates for cell adhesive, hemostatic, and antibacterial materials for wound dressing applications.

Abstract
Chemotherapy, a mainstay modality for cancer, is often hindered by systemic toxicity and side effects. With the emergence of nanomedicine, the development of drug therapy has shifted toward targeted therapy. Hyaluronan (HA) is an ideal molecule as a targeted delivery system because many carcinomas overexpress HA receptors. We have conjugated resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, and 3-(5-methoxy, 2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-1-(4-pyridinyl)-2-propen-1-one (MOMIPP), a chalcone, to HA with the goal of enhancing drug bioavailability and targeting triple negative breast cancers. We demonstrate the ability of HA conjugates to accumulate in the tumor interstitium within 6 h after tail vein injections. In vitro, these conjugates interact with their target receptors, which are overexpressed by triple negative breast cancer cells under static and physiological flow. These interactions result in enhanced uptake and efficacy of the therapeutic, as demonstrated by a reduced IC50 over that of nonconjugated drugs. Thus, HA offers a platform to solubilize, target, and enhance the efficacy of chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
Hyaluronan, a glycosaminoglycan, abundant in the tumour microenvironment, is a key player in many processes associated with cancer. Recently the cancer resistance of the naked mole rat has been attributed to the presence of an ultra-high molecular weight form of this molecule. The physical properties of this multifunctional biopolymer have been extensively studied in the context of synovial joints. However, relatively little has been reported with regard to the soft matter properties of hyaluronan in relation to cancer. In this review we examine the role of hyaluronan in cancer, paying particular attention to its mechanical interactions with malignant cells and its soft matter properties. In addition we discuss the use of hyaluronan based gels to study cancer invasion as well as nanoparticle based strategies for disease treatment.
