Cu-Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide-based tumor microenvironment-responsive injectable gels for cuproptosis-based synergistic osteosarcoma therapy. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132029. [PMID: 38704064 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132029] [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: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Cuproptosis affects osteosarcoma locally, and the exploitation of cuproptosis-related biomaterials for osteosarcoma treatment is still in its infancy. We designed and synthesized a novel injectable gel of Cu ion-coordinated Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide (TFP-Cu) for antiosteosarcoma therapy. This material has antitumor effects, the ability to stimulate immunity and promote bone formation, and a controlled Cu2+ release profile in smart response to tumor microenvironment stimulation. TFP-Cu can selectively inhibit the proliferation of K7M2 tumor cells by arresting the cell cycle and promoting cell apoptosis and cuproptosis. TFP-Cu also promoted the M1 polarization of RAW264.7 cells and regulated the immune microenvironment. These effects increased osteogenic gene and protein expression in MC3T3-E1 cells. TFP-Cu could significantly limit tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice by inducing tumor cell apoptosis and improving the activation of anti-CD8 T cell-mediated immune responses. Therefore, TFP-Cu could be a potential candidate for treating osteosarcoma and bioactive drug carrier for further cancer-related applications.

A hydrogel dressing with tunable critical temperature and photothermal modulating melittin release for multiply antibacterial treatment. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 239:124272.

Abstract
It is imperative to develop an antibiotic-free and long-term effective strategy for treating chronic wound infections due to the long-term utilization of antibiotics easily causing drug resistance. Herein, we fabricated a novel poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM)/polyacrylamide (PAM) coupling thermosensitive hydrogel integrating 1D lysozyme nanofiber doped with CuS nanoparticles (CuS/PP) and loading antibacterial peptide melittin (M) (CuS/PP-M) for combating chronic wound infection via photothermal modulating the release of melittin. For the CuS/PP-M hydrogel, the copolymerization of PNIPAM and PAM allows the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) higher than the body temperature, effectively hindering the spontaneous release of melittin when contacts the infected wound, while the integration of LNF/CuS nanofibers provides a stable photothermal treatment for triggering the release of melittin. As a result, the CuS/PP-M hydrogel exhibits synergistically enhanced effect on killing both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, which maintains more than 99 % bactericidal efficiency, even displays a long-term and multiply antibacterial performance by photothermal modulating melittin release. Moreover, the CuS/PP-M hydrogel presents both high antibacterial activity and excellent wound healing performance in the mouse wound model, thereby benefiting the chronic wound healing.

Abstract
The injection of CO2 into oil reservoirs to enhance oil recovery (EOR) has become a widely accepted and effective technical method, which, however, remains subject to the gas channeling caused by the reservoir fractures. Herein, this work developed a novel plugging gel combining excellent mechanical properties, fatigue resistance, elastic and self-healing properties for the CO2 shutoff purpose. This gel consisting of grafted nanocellulose and polymer network was synthesized via a free-radical polymerization, and reinforced by using Fe3+ to cross-link the two networks. The as-prepared PAA-TOCNF-Fe3+ gel has a stress of 1.03 MPa and a high strain of 1491 %, and self-heals to its original 98 % in stress and 96 % in strain after rupture, respectively. The introduce of TOCNF/Fe3+ improves the excellent energy dissipation and self-healing via the synergy effect of dynamical coordination bonds and hydrogen bonds. Further, the PAA-TOCNF-Fe3+ gel is both flexible and high-strength in plugging the multi-round CO2 injection, during which the CO2 breakthrough pressure is above 9.9 MPa/m, the plugging efficiency exceeds 96 %, and the self-healing rate is larger than 90 %. Given that above, this gel shows a great potential to plug the high-pressure CO2 flow, which could offer a new method for CO2-EOR and carbon storage.

Abstract
Salecan, a kind of polysaccharide, is produced by the Agrobacterium ZX09 salt tolerant strain. In this study, green crosslinked citric acid-salecan hydrogels are explored as novel materials with a high potential for use in regenerative medicine. The impact of salecan and citric acid on the final crosslinked hydrogels was intensively studied and estimated in terms of the whole physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity. FTIR spectra demonstrated the successful green crosslinking of salecan through its esterification with citric acid where the formation of strong covalent bonds collaboratively helped to stabilize the entire hydrogel systems in a wet state. Hydrogels presented a microporous morphology, good swelling capacity, pH responsiveness, great mechanical stability under stress conditions and good antibacterial activity, all related to the concentration of the biopolymers used in the synthesis step. Additionally, salecan hydrogels were preliminary investigated as printing inks. Thanks to their excellent rheological behavior, we optimized the citrate-salecan hydrogel inks and printing parameters to render 3D constructs with great printing fidelity and integrity. The novel synthesized salecan green crosslinked hydrogels enriches the family of salecan-derived hydrogels. Moreover, this work not only expands the application of salecan hydrogels in various fields, but also provides a new potential option of designing salecan-based 3D printed scaffolds for customized regenerative medicine.

Abstract
A multitude of dressings have been developed to promote wound repair, such as membranes, foams, hydrocolloids and hydrogels. In this study, a crosslinked polysaccharide hydrogel was mixed with a bioactive ingredient to synthesize a novel nanocomposite material to be used in wound healing. Variation of the ratio between hydrogel components was followed and its effect was analyzed in regard to swelling, degradation rate and thermo-mechanical behavior. The resulting crosslinked structures were characterized by FTIR and microscopy analyses. The antimicrobial activity of the crosslinked hydrogels loaded with bioactive agent was evaluated using two bacterial strains (Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia Coli). All the results showed that the new synthesized biopolymer nanocomposites have adequate properties to be used as antibacterial wound dressings.

Abstract
Wounds are usually irregular in shapes, and accompanied with a series of disorders such as hemorrhage and bacteria contamination. Here, we report a multifunctional hydrogel prepared by phase-transited lysozyme (PTL), which presents antimicrobial, injectable, self-healing, tissue adhesive, hemostatic and biodegradable properties that fit the requirements of wound treatment. The lysozyme was unfolded under the action of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP), and then self-assembled into a hydrogel (PTLG). The phase transition expanded the antibacterial spectrum of lysozyme, PTLG effectively killed both Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii) on contact. This dynamically cross-linked hydrogel exhibited injectable and self-healing abilities, and was capable of adapting to various wound morphologies. The tissue-adhesive nature derived from phase-transition, endowed PTLG with hemostatic effect. Meanwhile, PTLG exhibited biocompatibility towards mammalian cells. Furthermore, its anti-infective ability in vivo was verified in a mouse subcutaneous infection model, more than 98 % of S. epidermidis was reduced under PTLG injection. And PTLG could be biodegraded within four weeks in mice body. Overall, the proposed PTLG is a promising multifunctional dressing material that could accommodate the various demands of complex and deep wounds.

Abstract
Salecan (Sal) is a novel marine microbial polysaccharide. In the present research, Sal and soy protein isolate (SPI) were adopted to fabricate Sal–SPI composite hydrogel based on a stepwise process (thermal treatment and transglutaminase induction). The effect of Sal concentration on morphology, texture properties, and the microstructure of the hydrogel was evaluated. As Sal concentration varied from 0.4 to 0.6 wt%, hydrogel elasticity increased from 0.49 to 0.85 mm. Furthermore, the internal network structure of Sal–SPI composite hydrogel also became denser and more uniform as Sal concentration increased. Rheological studies showed that Sal–SPI elastic hydrogel formed under the gelation process. Additionally, FTIR and XRD results demonstrated that hydrogen bonds formed between Sal and SPI molecules, inferring the formation of the interpenetrating network structure. This research supplied a green and simple method to fabricate Sal–SPI double network hydrogels.

Abstract
Salecan (Sal) is a novel microbial polysaccharide. In the present research, thermal treatment was performed to fabricate Sal hydrogel. The effect of Sal concentration on water holding capacity, swelling properties, texture properties, and microstructure of the hydrogels was discussed. It was found that the equilibrium degree of swelling (EDS) of Sal hydrogels was above 1500%, inferred Sal was a highly hydrophilic polysaccharide. As Sal concentration increased from 3.5 to 8.0 wt%, the hardness increased from 0.88 to 2.07 N and the water hold capability (WHC) increased from 91.3% to 98.2%. Furthermore, the internal network structure of Sal hydrogel also became denser and more uniform. Rheological studies suggested that elastic hydrogel formed under the gelation process. All these results demonstrated that Sal hydrogel prepared by thermal treatment had good gelling properties, which opened up a new safe way for the preparation of Sal hydrogel and broadened the application range of Sal.

Abstract
Low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) have been extensively explored in many research fields due to their unique reversible gel-sol transformation. Intermolecular interactions between LMWG are known as the main driving force for self-assembly. During this self-assembly process, individually analyzing the contribution difference between various intermolecular interactions is crucial to understand the gel properties. Herein, we report 2,5-bis(hexadecylcarbamoyl)terephthalic acid (BHTA) as a LMWG, which could efficiently form a stable organogel with n-hexadecane, diesel, liquid paraffin, and base lubricant oil at a relatively low concentration. To investigate the contribution difference of intermolecular interactions, we first finished FT-IR spectroscopy and XRD experiments. On the basis of the d-spacing, a crude simulation model was built and then subjected to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Then, we knocked out the energy contribution of the H-bonding interactions and π-π stacking, respectively, to evaluate the intermolecular interactions significantly influencing the stability of the gel system. MD simulations results suggest that the self-assembly of the aggregates was mainly driven by dense H-bonding interactions between carbonyl acid and amide moieties of BHTA, which is consistent with FT-IR data. Moreover, wave function analysis at a quantum level suggested these electrostatic interactions located in the middle of the BHTA molecule were surrounded by strong dispersion attraction originating from a hydrophobic environment. Furthermore, we also confirmed that 2 wt % BHTA was able to form gel lubricant with 150BS. The coefficient of friction (COF) data show that the gel lubricant has a better tribological performance than 150BS base lubricant oil. Finally, XPS was performed and offered valuable information about the lubrication mechanism during the friction.

Abstract
Polysaccharide hydrogels are widely used in tissue engineering because of their superior biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. However, many of these hydrogels are unrealistic for practical applications as the cost of raw materials is high, and the fabrication steps are tedious. This study focuses on the facile fabrication and optimization of agarose-polydopamine hydrogel (APG) scaffolds for skin wound healing. The first study objective was to evaluate the effects of polydopamine (PDA) on the mechanical properties, water holding capacity and cell adhesiveness of APG. We observed that APG showed decreased rigidity and increased water content with the addition of PDA. Most importantly, decreased rigidity translated into significant increase in cell adhesiveness. Next, the slow biodegradability and high biocompatibility of APG with the highest PDA content (APG3) was confirmed. In addition, APG3 promoted full-thickness skin defect healing by accelerating collagen deposition and promoting angiogenesis. Altogether, we have developed a straightforward and efficient strategy to construct functional APG scaffold for skin tissue engineering, which has translation potentials in clinical practice.

Abstract
Both secondary pollution and the low mechanical strength of adsorbents have severely impeded the practical application of adsorption methods in the dye wastewater treatment. In this work, we innovatively synthesized a composite hydrogel adsorbent by incorporating polydopamine (PDA) and montmorillonite (MMT) into the pullulan hydrogel matrix for dye adsorption. First, the successful formation of the resultant adsorbents was verified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope elemental mapping analysis. Then, several physicochemical properties (such as thermal and swelling properties, microarchitecture, and mechanical strength) of the five prepared adsorbents (PM1-PM5) were investigated. These results demonstrated the adsorbents had tunable properties, which can be achieved by adjusting the PDA/MMT mass ratio. Next, the dye adsorption performance was systematically explored. The resultant adsorbent (PM3) had a maximum adsorption capacity of 112.45 mg/g and its adsorption data was best described by a Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic. Finally, the adsorption mechanisms and potential commercial practicability of the adsorbent were studied. Altogether, the designed adsorbent could effectively avoid generating the secondary pollution typical of adsorbents and it displayed excellent mechanical strength, thus opening up a new horizon in mitigating environmental pollution from textile industries.

Fabrication and Characterization of Polysaccharide Metallohydrogel Obtained from Succinoglycan and Trivalent Chromium. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13020202.

Abstract
In the present study, a polysaccharide metallohydrogel was successfully fabricated using succinoglycan and trivalent chromium and was verified via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy, and rheological measurements. Thermal behavior analysis via TGA indicated that the final mass loss of pure succinoglycan was 87.8% although it was reduced to 65.8% by forming a hydrogel with trivalent chromium cations. Moreover, succinoglycan-based metallohydrogels exhibited improved mechanical properties based on the added concentration of Cr3+ and displayed a 10 times higher compressive stress and enhanced storage modulus (G′) of 230% at the same strain. In addition, the pore size of the obtained SCx could be adjusted by changing the concentration of Cr3+. Gelation can also be adjusted based on the initial pH of the metallohydrogel formulation. This was attributed to crosslinking between chromium trivalent ions and hydroxyl/carboxyl groups of succinoglycan, each of which exhibits a specific pH-dependent behavior in aqueous solutions. It could be used as a soft sensor to detect Cr3+ in certain biological systems, or as a soft matrix for bioseparation that allows control of pore size and mechanical strength by tuning the Cr3+ concentration.

Abstract
Curdlan, a bacteria-derived polysaccharide resource, possesses substantial potential for periodontal antimicrobial delivery. Here, the facile engineering of a functionalized curdlan/polydopamine (PDA) composite hydrogels was reported. The physiochemical evaluations of composite hydrogels proved their tunable properties associated with concentration of PDA including pore size, rheological property and swelling behavior. We have systematically assessed biocompatibility in vitro and found these hydrogels toxicity-free. Moreover, photothermal performance upon near infrared light (NIR) exposure was conducted and eventually indicated the best matches for antibacterial application. The acetate chlorhexidine (CHX) was chosen as a model antimicrobial and the release profiles demonstrated the entrapped CHX could be triggered and nicely controlled by NIR. The optimized bacteriostatic rate reached 99.9 %. Overall, we aimed to provide new curdlan-based hydrogels for periodontal antibacterial treatment by combining photothermal effect and antimicrobial simultaneously.

Abstract
Hydrogel materials with a gel-sol conversion due to external environmental changes have potential applications in a wide range of fields, including controlled drug delivery. Succinoglycans are anionic extracellular polysaccharides produced by various bacteria, including Sinorhizobium species, which have diverse applications. In this study, the rheological analysis confirmed that succinoglycan produced by Sinorhizobium meliloti Rm 1021 binds weakly to various metal ions, including Fe2+ cations, to maintain a sol form, and binds strongly to Fe3+ cations to maintain a gel form. The Fe3+-coordinated succinoglycan (Fe3+-SG) hydrogel was analyzed by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Our results revealed that the Fe3+ cations that coordinated with succinoglycan were converted to Fe2+ by a reducing agent and visible light, promoting a gel-sol conversion. The Fe3+-SG hydrogel was then successfully used for controlled drug delivery based on gel-sol conversion in the presence of reducing agents and visible light. As succinoglycan is nontoxic, it is a potential material for controlled drug delivery.

Abstract
Cross-linking of polysaccharides by metal ions provides polymer gels highly required by industrial applications. In this article, we study the rheological properties and microstructure of solutions of a stiff anionic polysaccharide xanthan cross-linked by chromium (III) ions, and we demonstrate that their properties are highly sensitive to the preparation pH. Stable gels are obtained in a wide range of pH from 2.4 to 7.8. The maximum elastic modulus is observed for the gels made at pH 6.3, and by freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy it is shown that they are characterized by the most dense network structure. However, out of this pH interval, no gelation is observed. At low pH (< 2.4) it is due to high protonation of carboxylic groups of xanthan preventing their interaction with chromium ions, and to the disappearance of oligomeric ions, which are effective in cross-linking. At high pH (> 7.8) the absence of gelation is caused by the transformation of reactive chromium ions into insoluble chromium hydroxide. At the same time, for the gels initially formed at pH 6.3, subsequent change of pH to strongly acidic (1.4) or basic (8.9) medium does not affect appreciably their properties, meaning that chromium cross-links are stable once they are formed. These observations open a reliable route to produce polysaccharide gels with required mechanical properties in a wide pH range where they initially cannot be prepared. It is also shown that the increase of pH to 6.3 of the initially ungelled solution prepared at pH 1.5 results in gelation. This effect offers a facile way for delayed gelation of polysaccharides, which is especially required by oil industry.

Abstract
Hydrogels composed of food gums have gained attention for future biomedical applications, such as targeted delivery and tissue engineering. For their translation to clinical utilization, reliable biocompatibility, sufficient mechanical performance, and tunable structure of polysaccharide hydrogels are required aspects. In this work, we report a unique hybrid polysaccharide hydrogel composed of salecan and curdlan, in which the former is a thickening agent and the latter serves as a network matrix. The physicochemical properties, such as mechanical strength, thermal stability, swelling, and morphology, of the developed composite hydrogel can be accurately modulated by varying the polysaccharide content. Importantly, cytotoxicity assays show the non-toxicity of this hybrid hydrogel. Furthermore, this hydrogel system can support cell proliferation, migration, and function. Altogether, our work proposes a new strategy to build a polysaccharide-constructed hydrogel scaffold, which holds much promise for tissue engineering in terms of cell engraftment, survival, proliferation, and function.

Abstract
Polysaccharides have recently attracted increasing attention in the construction of hydrogel devices for biomedical applications. However, polysaccharide-based hydrogels are not suitable for most preclinical applications because of their limited mechanical properties and poor tunability. In this study, we employed a simple and eco-friendly approach to producing a macroporous polysaccharide hydrogel composed of salecan and κ-carrageenan without the use of toxic chemicals. We evaluated the physicochemical properties of the obtained salecan/κ-carrageenan hydrogel and found that its viscoelasticity, morphology, swelling, and thermal stability could be simply controlled by changing the polysaccharide dose in the pre-gel solution. The co-incubation of the fabricated hydrogel with mouse fibroblast cells demonstrated that the hydrogel can support cell adhesion, migration, and growth. Moreover, the hydrogel exhibited good biocompatibility in vivo. Overall, the findings provide a new strategy for the fabrication and optimization of polysaccharide-based hydrogel scaffolds for application in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Hydrogel adsorbents have attracted considerable attention due to their sludge minimization, good water permeability and renewable performance. Here, a promising strategy for the one-step preparation of pullulan/polydopamine hybird hydrogels (PPGels) was presented. Dumbbell-shaped cross-linker neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether (NGDE, 2 arms) and Y-shaped cross-linker trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether (TTE, 3 arms) were selected to study the relationship between cross-linker structure and hydrogel performances. The NGDE possessing less molecular repulsive force and higher reactivity demonstrated more effective cross-linking with the pullulan, which leaded to a decrease in pore size of the hydrogel. Meanwhile, the introduction of polydopamine significantly enhanced the adsorption ability and gave the resulting hybrid gel the specific selectivity toward cationic dyes (96 mg/g for crystal violet, 25.8 mg/g for methylene blue and barely not adsorption for azophloxine). Our data suggested that the electrostatic interaction played a vital role in the dye adsorption process, and the adsorption data could be explained by pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model. Furthermore, the obtained PPGel could be easily separated after adsorption. This study describes the relationship between cross-linker structure and properties of pullulan/polydopamine hybrid gels, which provides a new strategy to create polysaccharide-based adsorbents for wastewater remediation.

Abstract
Wastewater treatment materials that combine high decontamination performance, ease of use and economic production are highly desirable for practical applications. Herein, we fabricated a low-cost and recyclable bio-adsorbent based on a microbial polysaccharide (salecan) for efficient removal of methyl violet (MV) from wastewater. The success fabrication and the properties (such as thermal stability, microarchitecture, mechanical strength and water uptake) of the adsorbent had been investigated, and the hydrogels were found to have tunable properties by simple adjusting the salecan dose in hydrogel composition. Adsorption data displayed that the adsorption of MV followed the pseudo second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.99015) and Freundlich isotherm model (R2 = 0.99221) with a maximum adsorption capacity of 178.9 mg/g. Moreover, salecan-based hydrogels showed a good reversibility in adsorption-desorption cycles. These features indicate that salecan-based bio-adsorbent may be a promising device for dye removal from dyeing waste water.

Abstract
In tumor biology, it is widely recognized that 3D rather than 2D cell culture can recapitulate key features of solid tumors, including cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions. In this study, to mimick the ECM of breast cancer, hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels were synthesized from two polyvalent HA derivatives through a hydrazone and photo dual crosslinking process. HA hydrogels could be formed within 120 s. The hydrogels had similar topography and mechanical properties to breast tumor and displayed glutathione and hyaluronidase dual-responsive degradation behavior. Biological studies demonstrated that HA hydrogel could support the proliferation and clustering of breast cancer MCF-7 cells. The expression levels of VEGF, IL-8 and bFGF in hydrogel-cultured cells were significantly greater than those in 2D culture. Moreover, cells from hydrogel culture exhibited greater migration/invasion abilities and tumorigenicity than 2D-cultured cells. Therefore, the HA hydrogels are a promising ECM-mimicking matrix for in vitro construction of breast cancer.

Abstract
We present an improved type of food gum (salecan) based hydrogels for oral delivery of insulin. Structural hydrogel formation was assessed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction. We found that the hydrogel modulus, morphology, and swelling properties can be controlled by varying the salecan dose during hydrogel formation. Insulin was introduced into the hydrogel using a swelling-diffusion approach and then further used a drug prototype. In vitro insulin release profiles demonstrated that the release of entrapped insulin was suppressed in acidic conditions but markedly increased at neutral pH. Cell viability and toxicity tests revealed that the salecan hydrogel constructs were biocompatible. Oral administration of insulin-loaded salecan hydrogels in diabetic rats resulted in a sustained decrease of fasting plasma glucose levels over 6 h postadministration. For nondiabetic animals, the relative pharmacological bioavailability of insulin was significantly larger (6.24%, p < 0.05) for insulin-loaded hydrogels compared to free insulin. These results encourage further development of salecan-based hydrogels as vehicles for controlled insulin delivery following oral administration.
