Effectiveness of gellan gum scaffolds loaded with Boswellia serrata extract for in-situ modulation of pro-inflammatory pathways affecting cartilage healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134079. [PMID: 39038574 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we developed a composite hydrogel based on Gellan gum containing Boswellia serrata extract (BSE). BSE was either incorporated directly or loaded into an MgAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH) clay to create a multifunctional cartilage substitute. This composite was designed to provide anti-inflammatory properties while enhancing chondrogenesis. Additionally, LDH was exploited to facilitate the loading of hydrophobic BSE components and to improve the hydrogel's mechanical properties. A calcination process was also adopted on LDH to increase BSE loading. Physicochemical and mechanical characterizations were performed by spectroscopic (XPS and FTIR), thermogravimetric, rheological, compression test, weight loss and morphological (SEM) investigations. RPLC-ESI-FTMS was employed to investigate the boswellic acids release in simulated synovial fluid. The composites were cytocompatible and capable of supporting the mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) growth in a 3D-conformation. Loading BSE resulted in the modulation of the pro-inflammatory cascade by down-regulating COX2, PGE2 and IL1β. Chondrogenesis studies demonstrated an enhanced differentiation, leading to the up-regulation of COL 2 and ACAN. This effect was attributed to the efficacy of BSE in reducing the inflammation through PGE2 down-regulation and IL10 up-regulation. Proteomics studies confirmed gene expression findings by revealing an anti-inflammatory protein signature during chondrogenesis of the cells cultivated onto loaded specimens. Concluding, BSE-loaded composites hold promise as a tool for the in-situ modulation of the inflammatory cascade while preserving cartilage healing.

Abstract
On a global note, oral health plays a critical role in improving the overall human health. In this vein, dental-related issues with dentin exposure often facilitate the risk of developing various oral-related diseases in gums and teeth. Several oral-based ailments include gums-associated (gingivitis or periodontitis), tooth-based (dental caries, root infection, enamel erosion, and edentulous or total tooth loss), as well as miscellaneous diseases in the buccal or oral cavity (bad breath, mouth sores, and oral cancer). Although established conventional treatment modalities have been available to improve oral health, these therapeutic options suffer from several limitations, such as fail to eradicate bacterial biofilms, deprived regeneration of dental pulp cells, and poor remineralization of teeth, resulting in dental emergencies. To this end, the advent of nanotechnology has resulted in the development of various innovative nanoarchitectured composites from diverse sources. This review presents a comprehensive overview of different nanoarchitectured composites for improving overall oral health. Initially, we emphasize various oral-related diseases, providing detailed pathological circumstances and their effects on human health along with deficiencies of the conventional therapeutic modalities. Further, the importance of various nanostructured components is emphasized, highlighting their predominant actions in solving crucial dental issues, such as anti-bacterial, remineralization, and tissue regeneration abilities. In addition to an emphasis on the synthesis of different nanostructures, various nano-therapeutic solutions from diverse sources are discussed, including natural (plant, animal, and marine)-based components and other synthetic (organic- and inorganic-) architectures, as well as their composites for improving oral health. Finally, we summarize the article with an interesting outlook on overcoming the challenges of translating these innovative platforms to clinics.

Abstract
Boric acid, H3BO3, is a molecular solid made up of layers held together by weak van der Waals forces. It can be considered a pseudo "2D" material, like graphite, compared to graphene. The key distinction is that within each individual layer, the molecular units are connected not only by strong covalent bonds but also by hydrogen bonds. Therefore, classic liquid exfoliation is not suitable for this material, and a specific method needs to be developed. Preliminary results of exfoliation of boric acid particles by combination of ultrasound and the use of surfactants are presented. Ultrasound provides the system with the energy needed for the process, and the surfactant can act to keep the crystalline flakes apart. A system consisting of a saturated solution and large excess solid residue of boric acid was treated in this way for a few hours at 40 °C in the presence of various sodium stearate, proving to be very promising, and an incipient exfoliation was achieved.

Abstract
In the treatment of bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis through oral administration, an effective drug delivery system targeting the colon is crucial for enhancing efficacy and minimizing side effects of therapeutic agents. This study focuses on the development of a novel nanocomposite hydrogel bead comprising a synergistic blend of biological macromolecules, namely sodium alginate (ALG) and hyaluronic acid (HA), reinforced with layered double hydroxide nanoparticles (LDHs) for the oral delivery of dual therapeutics. The synthesized hydrogel bead exhibits significantly enhanced gel strength and controllable release of methylprednisolone (MP) and curcumin (CUR), serving as an anti-inflammatory drug and a mucosal healing agent, compared to native ALG or ALG/HA hydrogel beads without LDHs. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized LDHs and hydrogel beads were characterized using various techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, zeta potential measurement, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. In vitro release studies of MP and CUR under simulated gastrointestinal tract (GIT) conditions demonstrate the superior controlled release property of the nanocomposite hydrogel bead, particularly in minimizing premature drug release in the upper GIT environment while sustaining release of over 82 % of drugs in the colonic environment. Thus, the modularly engineered carrier designed for oral colon targeting holds promise as a potential candidate for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely studied for biomedical applications due to their excellent properties, such as good biocompatibility, degradability, interlayer ion exchangeability, high loading capacity, pH-responsive release, and large specific surface area. Furthermore, the flexibility in the structural composition and ease of surface modification of LDHs makes it possible to develop specifically functionalized LDHs to meet the needs of different applications. In this review, the recent advances of LDHs for biomedical applications, which include LDH-based drug delivery systems, LDHs for cancer diagnosis and therapy, tissue engineering, coatings, functional membranes, and biosensors, are comprehensively discussed. From these various biomedical research fields, it can be seen that there is great potential and possibility for the use of LDHs in biomedical applications. However, at the same time, it must be recognized that the actual clinical translation of LDHs is still very limited. Therefore, the current limitations of related research on LDHs are discussed by combining limited examples of actual clinical translation with requirements for clinical translation of biomaterials. Finally, an outlook on future research related to LDHs is provided.

Abstract
Despite their unique characteristics, 2D MXenes with sole photothermal conversion ability are required to explore their superfluous abilities in biomedicine. The small-molecule-based chemotherapeutics suffer from various shortcomings of time-consuming and expensiveness concerning theoretical and performance (preclinical/clinical) checks. This study demonstrates the fabrication of Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets (TC-MX NSs) and subsequent decoration with transition metal oxides, that is, copper oxide (Cu2O/MX, CO-MX NCs) as drugless nanoarchitectonics for synergistic photothermal (PTT)-chemodynamic therapeutic (CDT) efficacies. Initially, the monolayer/few-layered TC-MX NSs are prepared using the chemical etching-assisted ultrasonic exfoliation method and then deposited with Cu2O nanoconstructs using the in situ reduction method. Further, the photothermal ablation under near-infrared (NIR)-II laser irradiation shows PTT effects of CO-MX NCs. The deposited Cu2O on TC-MX NSs facilitates the release of copper (Cu+) ions in the acidic microenvironment intracellularly for Fenton-like reaction-assisted CDT effects and enriched PTT effects synergistically. Mechanistically, these deadly free radicals intracellularly imbalance the glutathione (GSH) levels and result in mitochondrial dysfunction, inducing apoptosis of 4T1 cells. Finally, the in vivo investigations in BALB/c mice confirm the substantial ablation of breast carcinoma. Together, these findings demonstrate the potential synergistic PTT-CDT effects of the designed CO-MX NCs as drugless nanoarchitectonics against breast carcinoma.

Abstract
The development of multifunctional magnetic nanocomposites as a drug delivery system for cancer therapy is highly desirable in current nanomedicine. Herein, folic acid-bovine serum albumin conjugate (FA-BSA) was modified on nanocomposites by combining quantum-sized Fe3O4 and layered double hydroxide (LDH) to obtain a novel FA-BSA/Fe3O4@LDH for the delivery of the anticancer drug 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu). The prepared nanocomposites showed good dispersibility, colloidal stability, magnetic property and erythrocyte compatibility. FA-BSA/Fe3O4@LDH/5-Fu showed pH responsiveness, with both the amount and duration of release of FA-BSA/Fe3O4@LDH/5-Fu being significantly higher in pH 5.0 release medium than in pH 7.4 release medium. The cellular experiments implied that no significant cytotoxicity of FA-BSA/Fe3O4@LDH, particularly due to the presence of FA-BSA, which further enhanced the biocompatibility of the nanocomposite. Furthermore, FA-BSA/Fe3O4@LDH/5-Fu could specifically target the 2D HepG2 cells model and 3D hepatoma cell microspheres model in vitro, and efficient internalization through folate receptor-mediated endocytosis, showing excellent anti-cancer cell activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Therefore, the constructed FA-BSA/Fe3O4@LDH was able to provide a potential novel multifunctional nanocomposite for magnetic-targeting drug delivery and pH-responsive release of drugs to enhance the efficiency of cancer therapy.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a widespread, recurrent, and chronic inflammatory skin condition that imposes a major burden on patients. Conventional treatments, such as corticosteroids, are associated with various side effects, underscoring the need for innovative therapeutic approaches. In this study, the possibility of using indole-3-acetic acid-loaded layered double hydroxides (IAA-LDHs) is evaluated as a novel treatment for AD. IAA is an auxin-class plant hormone with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Following the synthesis of IAA-LDH nanohybrids, their ability to induce M2-like macrophage polarization in macrophages obtained from mouse bone marrow is assessed. The antioxidant activity of IAA-LDH is quantified by assessing the decrease in intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. The anti-inflammatory and anti-atopic characteristics of IAA-LDH are evaluated in a mouse model of AD by examining the cutaneous tissues, immunological organs, and cells. The findings suggest that IAA-LDH has great therapeutic potential as a candidate for AD treatment based on its in vitro and in vivo modulation of AD immunology, enhancement of macrophage polarization, and antioxidant activity. This inorganic drug delivery technology represents a promising new avenue for the development of safe and effective AD treatments.

Abstract
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is one of the most common minimally invasive techniques for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which could destroy tumors through hyperthermia and generate massive tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). However, residual malignant tissues or small satellite lesions are hard to eliminate, generally resulting in metastases and recurrence. Herein, an advanced in situ nanovaccine formed by layered double hydroxides carrying cGAMP (STING agonist) (LDHs-cGAMP) and adsorbed TAAs was designed to potentiate the RFA-induced antitumor immune response. As-prepared LDHs-cGAMP could effectively enter cancerous or immune cells, inducing a stronger type I interferon (IFN-I) response. After further adsorption of TAAs, nanovaccine generated sustained immune stimulation and efficiently promoted activation of dendritic cells (DCs). Notably, infiltrations of cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) and activated DCs in tumor and lymph nodes were significantly enhanced after nanovaccine treatment, which distinctly inhibited primary, distant, and metastasis of liver cancer. Furthermore, such a nanovaccine strategy greatly changed the tumor immune microenvironment and promoted the response efficiency of anti-programmed death ligand 1 (αPD-L1) immunotherapy, significantly arresting the poorly immunogenic hepa1-6 liver cancer progression. These findings demonstrate the potential of nanovaccine as a booster for RFA in liver cancer therapy and provide a promising in situ cancer vaccination strategy.

Development, Analytical Characterization, and Bioactivity Evaluation of Boswellia serrata Extract-Layered Double Hydroxide Hybrid Composites. Molecules 2023; 28:6449. [PMID: 37764225 PMCID: PMC10537998 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28186449] [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: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Boswellia serrata Roxb. extract (BSE), rich in boswellic acids, is well known as a potent anti-inflammatory natural drug. However, due to its limited aqueous solubility, BSE inclusion into an appropriate carrier, capable of improving its release in the biological target, would be highly desirable. Starting with this requirement, new hybrid composites based on the inclusion of BSE in a lamellar solid layered double hydroxide (LDH), i.e., magnesium aluminum carbonate, were developed and characterized in the present work. The adopted LDH exhibited a layered crystal structure, comprising positively charged hydroxide layers and interlayers composed of carbonate anions and water molecules; thus, it was expected to embed negatively charged boswellic acids. In the present case, a calcination process was also adopted on the LDH to increase organic acid loading, based on the replacement of the original inorganic anions. An accurate investigation was carried out by TGA, PXRD, FT-IR/ATR, XPS, SEM, and LC-MS to ascertain the nature, interaction, and quantification of the active molecules of the vegetal extract loaded in the developed hybrid materials. As a result, the significant disruption of the original layered structure was observed in the LDH subjected to calcination (LDHc), and this material was able to include a higher amount of organic acids when its composite with BSE was prepared. However, in vitro tests on the composites' bioactivity, expressed in terms of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity, evidenced LDH-BSE as a better material compared to BSE and to LDHc-BSE, thus suggesting that, although the embedded organic acid amount was lower, they could be more available since they were not firmly bound to the clay. The composite was able to significantly decrease the number of viable pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as the internalization of toxic active species into human cells imposing oxidative stress, in comparison to the BSE.

Abstract
Bone diseases including bone defects, bone infections, osteoarthritis, and bone tumors seriously affect life quality of the patient and bring serious economic burdens to social health management, for which the current clinical treatments bear dissatisfactory therapeutic effects. Biomaterial-based strategies have been widely applied in the treatment of orthopedic diseases but are still plagued by deficient bioreactivity. With the development of nanotechnology, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with adjustable metal ion composition and alterable interlayer structure possessing charming physicochemical characteristics, versatile bioactive properties, and excellent drug loading and delivery capabilities arise widespread attention and have achieved considerable achievements for bone disease treatment in the last decade. However, to the authors' best knowledge, no review has comprehensively summarized the advances of LDHs in treating bone disease so far. Herein, the advantages of LDHs for orthopedic disorders treatment are outlined and the corresponding state-of-the-art achievements are summarized for the first time. The potential of LDHs-based nanocomposites for extended therapeutics for bone diseases is highlighted and perspectives for LDHs-based scaffold design are proposed for facilitated clinical translation.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs)-mediated immunotherapy has attracted extensive attention in tumor elimination. However, the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) severely limits the phenotype of TAMs to pro-tumoral M2 state, suppressing immune response efficacy against tumors. Herein, novel poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-coated, doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets (NSs) were developed as deacidification agent to repolarize TAMs from pro-tumoral M2 to anti-tumoral M1 phenotype for tumor elimination through combined chemodynamic therapy and immunotherapy. When located in tumor regions, LDH-PAA@DOX NSs display good deacidification capacity to neutralize acidic TME, achieving the repolarization of TAMs to M1 phenotype and further activating CD8+ T cells. During the deacidification process, these NSs are acid-responsive and degrade to release Fe3+ and DOX. The former can be reduced to Fe2+ by intracellular glutathione, meanwhile disrupting the antioxidant defense system of tumor cells. The latter can damage tumor cells directly and further stimulate the production of hydrogen peroxide, providing abundant substrate for the Fenton reaction. Toxic hydroxyl radical is excessively produced through Fe2+-mediated Fenton reaction to cause intratumoral oxidative stress. In vivo data revealed that significant tumor elimination can be achieved under LDH-PAA@DOX treatment. This work not only provides a promising paradigm for neutralizing acidic TME using deacidification agent but also highlights the effectiveness of combined chemodynamic therapy and immunotherapy in tumor treatment.

Abstract
The development of biomaterials has a substantial role in pharmaceutical and medical strategies for the enhancement of life quality. This review work focused on versatile biomaterials based on nanocomposites comprising organic polymers and a class of layered inorganic nanoparticles, aiming for drug delivery (oral, transdermal, and ocular delivery) and tissue engineering (skin and bone therapies). Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are 2D nanomaterials that can intercalate anionic bioactive species between the layers. The layers can hold metal cations that confer intrinsic biological activity to LDHs as well as biocompatibility. The intercalation of bioactive species between the layers allows the formation of drug delivery systems with elevated loading capacity and modified release profiles promoted by ion exchange and/or solubilization. The capacity of tissue integration, antigenicity, and stimulation of collagen formation, among other beneficial characteristics of LDH, have been observed by in vivo assays. The association between the properties of biocompatible polymers and LDH-drug nanohybrids produces multifunctional nanocomposites compatible with living matter. Such nanocomposites are stimuli-responsive, show appropriate mechanical properties, and can be prepared by creative methods that allow a fine-tuning of drug release. They are processed in the end form of films, beads, gels, monoliths etc., to reach orientated therapeutic applications. Several studies attest to the higher performance of polymer/LDH-drug nanocomposite compared to the LDH-drug hybrid or the free drug.

[PMID: 36427464 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2022.102812] [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: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally aluminosilicate clay minerals that have the benefits of large surface areas, high mechanical properties, easy functionalization, and high biocompatibility, HNTs have been developed as multifunctional nanoplatforms for various bioapplications. Although some reviews have summarized the properties and bioapplications of HNTs, it remains unclear how to functionalize the modifications of HNTs for their personalized bioapplications. In this review, based on the physicochemical properties of HNTs, we summarized the methods of functionalized modifications (surface modification and structure modification) on HNTs. Also, we highlighted their personalized bioapplications (anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, cancer theranostics, bone regenerative, and biosensing) by stressing on the main roles of HNTs. Finally, we provide perspectives on the future of functionalized modifications of HNTs for docking specific biological applications.

A mitochondria-anchored supramolecular photosensitizer as a pyroptosis inducer for potent photodynamic therapy and enhanced antitumor immunity. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:513. [PMID: 36463229 PMCID: PMC9719646 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01719-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The discovery of a potent photosensitizer with desirable immunogenic cell death (ICD) ability can prominently enhance antitumor immunity in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, majority of commercially-available photosensitizers suffer from serious aggregation and fail to elicit sufficient ICD. Pyroptosis as a newly identified pattern for potent ICD generation is rarely disclosed in reported photosensitizers. In addition, the photosensitizer with excellent mitochondria-anchored ability evokes prominent mitochondria oxidative stress, and consequently induces ICD. RESULTS Herein, a novel supramolecular photosensitizer LDH@ZnPc is reported, without complicated preparation, but reveals desirable pyroptosis-triggered ability with mitochondria anchoring feature. LDH@ZnPc is obtained through isolation of ZnPc using positive charged layered double hydroxides (LDH), and excellent mitochondria-anchored ability is achieved. More importantly, LDH@ZnPc-mediated PDT can effectively initiate gasdermin D (GSDMD)-dependent pyroptosis of tumor cells. In vitro and in vivo results verify robust ICD ability and potent tumor inhibition efficacy, and antitumor immunity towards distant tumor inhibition. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals that LDH@ZnPc can act as an excellent pyroptosis inducer with simultaneous mitochondria anchoring ability for enhancing photodynamic therapy and boosting antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Recent decades have witnessed a surge of explorations into the application of multifarious materials, especially biomedical applications. Among them, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely developed as typical inorganic layer materials to achieve remarkable advancements. Multiple physicochemical properties endow LDHs with excellent merits in biomedical applications. Moreover, LDH nanoplatforms could serve as "molecular switches", which are capable of the controlled release of payloads under specific physiological pH conditions but are stable during circulation in the bloodstream. In addition, LDHs themselves are composed of several specific cations and possess favorable biological effects or regulatory roles in various cellular functions. These advantages have caused LDHs to become increasingly of interest in the area of nanomedicine. Recent efforts have been devoted to revealing the potential factors that interfere with the biological pathways of LDH-based nanoparticles, such as their applications in shaping the functions of immune cells and in determining the fate of stem cells and tumor treatments, which are comprehensively described herein. In addition, several intracellular signaling pathways interfering with by LDHs in the above applications were also systematically expatiated. Finally, the future development and challenges of LDH-based nanomedicine are discussed in the context of the ultimate goal of practical clinical application.
