Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) & hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a substantial reason for morbidity and mortality around the world. Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection is connected with an enhanced risk of liver cirrhosis, liver decompensation and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Conventional therapy do face certain challenges, for example, poor tolerability and the growth of active resistance. Thus, novel treatment procedures are essential to accomplish the initiation of strong and stable antiviral immune reactions of the individuals. This review explores the current nanotechnology-based carriers for drug and vaccine delivery to treat HBV and HCV.

Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is an infectious viral disease that is prevalent worldwide. Traditional nucleoside analogues, as well as the novel drug targets against hepatitis B virus (HBV), are associated with certain critical factors that influence the curative effect, such as biological stability and safety, effective drug delivery, and controlled release. Nanoparticle drug delivery systems have significant advantages and have provided a basis for the development of anti-HBV strategies. In this review, we aim to review the advances in nanoparticle drug delivery systems for anti-hepatitis B virus therapy by summarizing the relevant literature. First, we focus on the characteristics of nanoparticle drug delivery systems for anti-HBV therapy. Second, we discuss the nanoparticle delivery systems for anti-HBV nucleoside drugs, gene-based drugs, and vaccines. Lastly, we provide an overview of the prospects for nanoparticle-based anti-HBV agents.

Abstract
Glucose Transporter-1 (GLUT-1) is considered to be a possible intrinsic marker of hypoxia in malignant tumors, which is an important factor in radioresistance of laryngocarcinoma. We speculated that the inhibition of GLUT-1 expression might improve the radiosensitivity of laryngocarcinoma. GLUT-1 siRNA was designed to inhibit the GLUT-1 expression, but the high molecular weight and difficult drug delivery limited the application. Herein, we constructed a glycolipid polymer chitosan oligosaccharide grafted stearic acid (CSSA) to conjugate siRNA via electrostatic interaction. The characteristics of CSSA and CSSA/siRNA were studied, as well as the radiosensitization effect of siRNA on human laryngocarcinoma epithelial (Hep-2) cells. Compared with the traditional commercial vector LipofectamineTM2000 (Lipo), CSSA exhibited lower cytotoxicity, more efficiently cellular uptake. Incubating with CSSA/siRNA, the survival rates of Hep-2 cells were significantly decreased comparing with either the group before transfection or Lipo/siRNA. CSSA is a promising carrier for efficient siRNA delivery and radiosensitization of laryngocarcinoma.

Carbohydr Polym 2019; 212:215-221. [PMID: 30832850 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2019.02.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2018] [Revised: 02/08/2019] [Accepted: 02/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
DrzBC and DrzBS (10-23 DNAzyme) could block the expression of HBV e- and s- gene respectively. But the application of 10-23 DNAzyme was limited owing to the lack of appropriate delivery vehicles. Chitosan oligosaccharide-SS-Octadecylamine (CSSO), a redox-responsive nano-sized polymeric carrier, could self-aggregate and bind with DNA by electrostatic interaction at proper mass ratio. Compared with the traditional commercial carrier Lipo2000, CSSO exhibited lower cytotoxicity, efficient cellular uptake by targeting cells, and rapidly DNA released in cytoplasm after escaping from endosomes. Including the same DNA concentration, Lipo2000/(DrzBC or DrzBS) showed maximum inhibitory rate on HBeAg (47.29 ± 1.86%) and HBsAg (33.58 ± 0.72%) secretion after 48 h incubation, and then both decreased. In contrast, HBeAg secretion inhibition by CSSO/DrzBC and HBsAg secretion inhibition by CSSO/DrzBS were up to 73.86 ± 1.77% and 67.80 ± 2.51% at 48 h, and further increased to 83.83 ± 2.34% and 76.79 ± 2.18% at 72 h, respectively. CSSO is a promising redox-responsive polymeric carrier for efficient anti-Hepatitis B Virus gene therapy.

Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2014; 1840:1913-22. [PMID: 24440669 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2014.01.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 66] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2013] [Revised: 01/07/2014] [Accepted: 01/10/2014] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hybrid materials are synthesized using hydrophilic polymer and lipids which ensure their long term systemic circulation through intravenous administration and enhance loading of hydrophobic drugs. The purpose of this study is to prepare, characterize and evaluate the in vitro efficacy of curcumin loaded poly-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/stearic acid nanoparticles in MCF-7. METHODS C-PSA-NPs, prepared using the emulsification-solvent evaporation method were characterized by dynamic laser scattering, SEM, AFM, FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, and TGA. The in vitro release behavior was observed in PBS pH7.4, the anticancer potential was analyzed by MTT assay, cell cycle and apoptosis studies were performed through flow cytometry. C-PSA-NPs drug localization and cancer cell morphological changes were analyzed in MCF-7 cell line. RESULTS C-PSA-NPs exhibited the mean particle size in the range of 184nm with no aggregation. The surface charge of the material was around -29.3mV. Thermal studies (TGA) and surface chemistry studies (FT-IR, XRD) showed the existence of drug curcumin in C-PSA-NPs. The MTT assay indicated higher anticancer properties and flow cytometry studies revealed that there were better apoptotic activity and maximum localization of C-PSA-NPs than curcumin. CONCLUSIONS Polymer lipid based drug delivery appeared as one of the advancements in drug delivery systems. Through the present study, a novel polymer lipid based nanocarrier delivery system loaded with curcumin was demonstrated as an effective and potential alternative method for tumor treatment in MCF-7 cell line. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE C-PSA-NPs exhibited potent anticancer activity in MCF-7 cell line and it indicates that C-PSA-NPs are a suitable carrier for curcumin.
