Fabrication, Characterization, and Microbial Biodegradation of Transparent Nanodehydrated Bioplastic (NDB) Membranes Using Novel Casting, Dehydration, and Peeling Techniques. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3303. [PMID: 37571197 PMCID: PMC10422282 DOI: 10.3390/polym15153303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
NDBs were fabricated from gum Arabic (GA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in different ratios using novel techniques (casting, dehydration, and peeling). The GA/PVA blends were cast with a novel vibration-free horizontal flow (VFHF) technique, producing membranes free of air bubble defects with a homogenous texture, smooth surface, and constant thickness. The casting process was achieved on a self-electrostatic template (SET) made of poly-(methyl methacrylate), which made peeling the final product membranes easy due to its non-stick behavior. After settling the casting of the membranous, while blind, the sheets were dried using nanometric dehydration under a mild vacuum stream using a novel stratified nano-dehydrator (SND) loaded with P2O5. After drying the NDB, the dry, smooth membranes were peeled easily without scratching defects. The physicochemical properties of the NDBs were investigated using FTIR, XRD, TGA, DTA, and AFM to ensure that the novel techniques did not distort the product quality. The NDBs retained their virgin characteristics, namely, their chemical functional groups (FTIR results), crystallinity index (XRD data), thermal stability (TGA and DTA), and ultrastructural features (surface roughness and permeability), as well as their microbial biodegradation ability. Adding PVA enhanced the membrane's properties except for mass loss, whereby increasing the GA allocation in the NDB blend reduces its mass loss at elevated temperatures. The produced bioplastic membranes showed suitable mechanical properties for food packaging applications and in the pharmaceutical industry for the controlled release of drugs. In comparison to control samples, the separated bacteria and fungi destroyed the bioplastic membranes. Pseudomonas spp. and Bacillus spp. were the two main strains of isolated bacteria, and Rhizobus spp. was the main fungus. The nano-dehydration method gave the best solution for the prompt drying of water-based biopolymers free of manufacturing defects, with simple and easily acquired machinery required for the casting and peeling tasks, in addition to its wonderful biodegradation behavior when buried in wet soil.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to generate and investigate biodegradable and biocompatible zein and zein/nano-hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds for bone defect healing. 3D zein scaffold was successfully fabricated using the salt-leaching method and incorporated with 12.5 wt% nHA for osteogenic differentiation of murine myoblast cell line (C2C12 cells). The scaffolds were subjected to physicochemical and biomechanical characterizations using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), biodegradation, porosity, mechanical tests. C2C12 cells were cultured on scaffolds and incubated for 21 days. Cell proliferation was detected by the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to test the expression of osteoblastic-related genes including Runx2, ALP, and Col1A1. The scaffolds had an adequate mean pore size and a total porosity of 61.1%–70.6%. The addition of 12.5 wt% nHA to the zein scaffold increased the compressive modulus to 79.1 MPa and the ultimate strength to 2.7 MPa. The qRT-PCR analysis confirmed that mRNA transcript levels were significantly higher ( p < 0.05) on the zein/nHA than on the pure zein scaffold. The results suggested that the developed scaffolds could be a potential candidate for bone tissue engineering due to their promising osteoinductivity, surface topography, mechanical behavior, biodegradability.

Abstract
Hyperbranched polysaccharide from Pleurotus tuber-regium (PTR-HBPS) is a β-glucan with high degree of branching (DB, 0.69) and a molecular weight (Mw) of 31.2 × 105 g/mol with mixed β-1, 4/β-1, 4, 6/β-1, 6 glucosidic linkages. PTR-HBPS was depolymerized by cellulase and β-glucosidase under optimized conditions to form PC (PTR-HBPS depolymerized by cellulase) and PG (PTR-HBPS depolymerized by β-glucosidase) fractions with a minimum Mw of 2.74 × 105 and 3.98 × 105 g/mol, respectively. PC fractions had no significant changes for its primary structure in terms of glycosidic linkages, DB, and triple helical structure, while the DB of PG fractions was reduced to 0.63 with the loss of triple helical structure. Nanoparticles fabricated by PC fractions with zein showed better stability under different pH conditions. Enzymatic depolymerized low Mw β-glucan derived from PTR-HBPS with similar structural characteristics as the native one has potential as nanocarriers for food bioactive substances.

Nano-hydroxyapatite incorporated quince seed mucilage bioscaffolds for osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 195:492-505.

Abstract
In this study, the therapeutic hydrocolloid quince seed mucilage (QSM) from Cydonia oblonga Miller fruit is enriched with needle-like nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) crystals to fabricate a novel biomimetic osteogenic bioscaffold. The molecular weight (Mw) of water-based extracted QSM was measured with GPC (8.67 × 105 g/mol), and the composite blend was prepared at a ratio of 1:1 (w/w) QSMaq and nHAp. The porous bioscaffolds were manufactured by the freeze-drying method, and evaluated in-depth with advanced analyses. The XRD, ATR-FTIR, SEM-EDX, and elemental mapping analyses revealed a uniform coated semi-crystalline structure with no covalent bindings between QSM and nHAp. Moreover, due to the hydrocolloid backbone, a supreme swelling ratio (w/w, 6523 ± 190%) with suitable pore size (208.12 ± 99.22 μm) for osteogenic development was obtained. Further, the cytocompatible bioscaffolds were evaluated for osteogenic differentiation in vitro using human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs). The immuno/histochemical (I/HC) staining revealed that the cells with the spherical morphology invaded the pores of the prepared bioscaffolds. Also, relatively early up-regulated osteogenic markers were observed by the qRT-PCR analyses. Overall, it is believed that the QSM-nHAp bioscaffolds might be favorable in non-load bearing applications, especially in the cranio-maxillofacial region, due to their regenerative, bendable, and durable features.

Multifunctional polyethylene imine hybrids decorated by silica bioactive glass with enhanced mechanical properties, antibacterial, and osteogenesis for bone repair. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 131:112534. [PMID: 34857311 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Revised: 10/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Inorganic/organic hybrids and bioactive glasses demonstrate promising potential as bone substitute biomaterials. A sol-gel hybrid consisting of silica bioactive glass and biodegradable polymer can combine the high bioactivity of a glass with the toughness of a polymer. In this study, multifunctional hybrids with a combination of organic-inorganic hybrid structure class II consisting of polyethyleneimine (PEI) generation 4 (G4) and bioactive glass with enhanced mechanical properties, mineralization, antibacterial, and osteogenesis activities were synthesized by the sol-gel method. Glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) with different concentrations was used as a covalent bonding agent between PEI polymer and bioactive glass. The effect of GPTMS content was assessed in the presence and absence of calcium in the hybrid structures in terms of morphology, wettability, mechanical properties, antibacterial activity, cell viability, and in vitro osteogenic differentiation properties. By increasing the amount of GPTMS, the compressive strength increased from 1.95 MPa to 2.34 MPa, which was comparable to human trabecular bone. All the hybrids presented antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, forming an inhibition zone of 13-16 mm. An increase in cell viability of 82.22% in PSCaG90 was obtained after 1 day of MG-63 cell culture. Alkaline phosphatase expression and mineralization of MG-63 cells increased in the PSCaG90 hybrid in the absence of an osteogenic medium compared to PSG60 and PSG90. The PSCaG90 hybrid indicated considerable in vitro osteogenic capacity in the absence of a differentiation medium, expressing high levels of bone-specific proteins including collagen I (COL1A1), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OCN), compared to calcium-free hybrids. Overall, our results suggest that the presence of calcium in the PSCaG90 leads to a significant increase in osteogenic differentiation of MG-63 cells even in the absence of differentiation medium, which suggests these hybrid structures with multifunctional properties as promising candidates for bone repair.

Abstract
The design of powerful in vitro cell culture platforms to support precision medicine can contribute to predict therapeutic success of cancer patients. Electrospun nanofibers applied to cell culture can mimic extracellular matrix and improve in vitro cell behavior. Here, we describe biocompatible blended polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA)/gum arabic (GA) extracellular matrix (ECM)-like nanofibers for in vitro cell cultures capable of delivering nanocomposite for desired biomedical application. Therefore, PVA/GA ECM-like electrospun nanofibers were developed and characterized. Heat treatment was used to crosslink the nanofibers and biocompatibility was evaluated, which demonstrated the ability of developed platform to provide a cell culture-friendly environment. Previous work demonstrated that GA-gold nanoparticles (GA-AuNPs) in non-cytotoxic concentrations can reduce key metastatic cellular events such as invasion and colony formation of metastatic melanoma cells. Thus, crosslinked nanofibers were functionalized with GA-AuNPs and its cellular delivery was evaluated. GA-AuNPs were efficiently adsorbed onto the PVA/GA nanofibers surface and the system effectively delivered the nanocomposites to metastatic melanoma cells. In conclusion, the described biocompatible system could be prospected as a valuable in vitro tool for precision medicine.

Abstract
Background:
Any sort of wound injury leads to skin integrity and further leads to wound formation.
Millions of deaths are reported every year, which contributes to an economical hamper world widely, this accounts
for 10% of death rate that insight into various diseases.
Current Methodology:
Rapid wound healing plays an important role in effective health care. Wound healing is a
multi-factorial physiological process, which helps in the growth of new tissue to render the body with the imperative
barrier from the external environment. The complexity of this phenomenon makes it prone to several abnormalities.
Wound healing, as a normal biological inherent process occurs in the body, which is reaped through four
highly defined programmed phases, such as hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling and these
phases occur in the proper progression. An overview, types, and classification of wounds along with the stages of
wound healing and various factors affecting wound healing have been discussed systematically. Various biopolymers
are reported for developing nanofibers and microfibers in wound healing, which can be used as a therapeutic
drug delivery for wound healing applications. Biopolymers are relevant for biomedical purposes owing to
biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non- toxicity. Biopolymers such as polysaccharides, proteins and various
gums are used for wound healing applications. Patents and future perspectives have been given in the concluding
part of the manuscript. Overall, applications of biopolymers in the development of fibers and their applications in
wound healing are gaining interest in researchers to develop modified biopolymers and tunable delivery systems
for effective management and care of different types of wounds.

Abstract
Gallic acid (GA) is a natural phenolic compound with therapeutic effects that are often challenged by its rapid metabolism and clearance. Therefore, GA was encapsulated using gum arabic into nanoparticles to increase its bioavailability. The formulated nanoparticles (GANPs) were characterized for physicochemical properties and size and were then evaluated for antioxidant and antihypertensive effects using various established in vitro assays, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide scavenging (NO), β-carotene bleaching and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory assays. The GANPs were further evaluated for the in vitro cytotoxicity, cell uptake and cell migration in four types of human cancer cell lines including (MCF-7, MDA-MB231) breast adenocarcinoma, HepG2 hepatocellular cancer, HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma, and MCF-10A breast epithelial cell lines. The GANPs demonstrated potent antioxidant effects and have shown promising anti-cancer properties in a dose-dependent manner with a predilection toward HepG2 and MCF7 cancer cells. The uptake of GANPs was successful in the majority of cancer cells with a propensity to accumulate in the nuclear region of the cells. The HepG2 and MCF7 cancer cells also had a significantly higher percentage of apoptosis and were more sensitive to gallic acid nanoparticle treatment in the cell migration assay. This study is the first to confirm the synergistic effects of gum arabic in the encapsulation of gallic acid by increasing the selectivity towards cancer cells and enhancing the antioxidant properties. The formulated nanoparticles also had remarkably low toxicity in normal cells. Based on these findings, GANPs may have promising therapeutic applications towards the development of more effective treatments with a probable targeting precision in cancer cells.

Abstract
Nanofibers are a type of nanostructures, which due to their unique properties can be used in wound dressing, and electrospinning is a good way to produce them. The benefits of wound dressings made of electrospun nanofibers include a large surface area to volume ratio, high absorption of secretions from the wound, and high air permeability, mimicking the morphology of extracellular matrix (ECM) of the damaged tissue and the possibility of the gradual release of the drug agents loaded on nanofibers. Because of the adaptability of plants to the body, low side effects and the prevalence of antibiotic resistance, interest in using plants is increasing. Combining nanofibers with plants is a way to integrate the physical properties of the structure of nanofibers and the chemical and antibacterial properties of the plants. In recent years, many plants in the forms of extracts, essential oils, and pure active ingredients have been used in the electrospininng and production of nanofiber-containing plants; some of the plants may be a good choice for wound dressings made of electrospun nanofibers.

Abstract
The present frontiers of bone tissue engineering are being pushed by novel biomaterials that exhibit phenomenal biocompatibility and adequate mechanical strength. In this work, we fabricated a ternary system incorporating nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA)/gum arabic (GA)/κ-carrageenan (κ-CG) with varying concentrations, i.e., 60/30/10 (CHG1), 60/20/20 (CHG2), and 60/10/30 (CHG3). A binary system with n-HA and GA was also prepared with a ratio of 60/40 (HG) and compared with the ternary system. A rapid mineralization of the apatite layer was observed for the ternary systems after incubation in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 15 days as corroborated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). CHG2 exhibited the maximum apatite layer deposition. Further, the nanocomposites were physicochemically analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and mechanical testing. Their results revealed a substantial interaction among the components, appropriate crystallinity, and significantly enhanced compressive strength and modulus for the ternary nanocomposites. The greatest mechanical strength was achieved by the scaffold containing equal amounts of GA and κ-CG. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by culturing osteoblast-like MG63 cells, which exhibited the highest cell viability for the CHG2 nanocomposite system. It was further supported by confocal microscopy, which revealed the maximum cell proliferation for the CHG2 scaffold. In addition, enhanced antibacterial activity, protein adsorption, biodegradability, and osteogenic differentiation were observed for the ternary nanocomposites. Osteogenic gene markers, such as osteocalcin (OCN), osteonectin (ON), and osteopontin (OPN), were present in higher quantities in the CHG2 and CHG3 nanocomposites as confirmed by western blotting. These results substantiated the pertinence of n-HA-, GA-, and κ-CG-incorporated ternary systems to bone implant materials.

Abstract
The engineering of tissues under a three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment is a great challenge and needs a suitable supporting biomaterial-based scaffold that may facilitate cell attachment, spreading, proliferation, migration, and differentiation for proper tissue regeneration or organ reconstruction. Polysaccharides as natural polymers promise great potential in the preparation of a three-dimensional artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) (i.e., hydrogel) via various processing methods and conditions. Natural polymers, especially gums, based upon hydrogel systems, provide similarities largely with the native ECM and excellent biological response. Here, we review the origin and physico-chemical characteristics of potentially used natural gums. In addition, various forms of scaffolds (e.g., nanofibrous, 3D printed-constructs) based on gums and their efficacy in 3D cell culture and various tissue regenerations such as bone, osteoarthritis and cartilage, skin/wound, retinal, neural, and other tissues are discussed. Finally, the advantages and limitations of natural gums are precisely described for future perspectives in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in the concluding remarks.

Abstract
Infections after bone reconstructive surgery become an authentic therapeutic and economic issue when it comes to a modern health care system. In general; infected bone defects are regarded as contraindications for bone grafting. Since the pathogens develop a biofilm on the inner surface of the bone; local delivery of antibiotics becomes more important. The present work focuses on the synthesis of Mesoporous Hydroxyapatite (MPHAP) loaded with drug Vancomycin (Van) and to investigate its loading and leaching ability in phosphate buffer solution (PBS), to be used for post-operative infections. The effect of pore size on MPHAP was analyzed using different fatty acids as organic modifiers. The impacts of various fatty acids chain length on the morphology and pore size were studied. A simple impregnation technique with optimized conditions ensured a high antibiotic loading (up to 0.476 + 0.0135 mg/mL), with a complete in vitro release obtained within 50 h.

Abstract
Nanoparticles were fabricated by adsorbing gum arabic (GA) on zein nanoparticles by antisolvent precipitation. The most stable mass ratio of zein:GA was 1:1.5 with a stable zeta-potential (-32.8 mV) in a pH range of 3.0-9.0. The surface hydrophobicity of zein-GA nanoparticles indicated formation of a stable structure through electrostatic attraction at a pH range of 3.0-6.0 and hydrophobic interaction at pH 7.0-9.0. The FTIR spectrogram showed an additional role of hydrogen bonds to promote the adsorption of GA on zein nanoparticles. Tocopherol (TOC) was encapsulated within the prepared zein-GA nanoparticles with a high loading capacity. The presence of GA not only prevented the precipitation of zein nanoparticles but also controlled the release of TOC from zein-GA nanoparticles during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. Zein-GA biopolymer nanoparticles can be stably fabricated in a wide pH range for applications in the food and pharmacy industries.
