Abstract
The CD44 gene is a critical factor in animal physiological processes and has been shown to affect insulin resistance and fat accumulation in mammals. Nevertheless, little research has been conducted on its precise functions in lipid metabolism and adipogenic differentiation in beef cattle. This study analyzed the expression of CD44 and miR-199a-3p during bovine preadipocyte differentiation. The luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that CD44 was a direct target of miR-199a-3p. Increased accumulation of lipid droplets and triglyceride levels, altered fatty acid metabolism, and accelerated preadipocyte differentiation were all caused by the upregulation of miR-199a-3p or a reduction in CD44 expression. CD44 knockdown upregulated the expression of adipocyte-specific genes (LPL and FABP4) and altered the levels of lipid metabolites (SOPC, l-arginine, and heptadecanoic acid). Multiomics highlights enriched pathways involved in energy metabolism (MAPK, cAMP, and calcium signaling) and shifts in mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis, indicating that CD44 plays a regulatory role in lipid metabolism. The findings show that intracellular lipolysis, glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, fat deposition, and lipid droplet composition are all impacted by miR-199a-3p, which modulates CD44 in bovine adipocytes.

Abstract
Obesity stands as a pervasive global public health issue, posing a formidable threat to human well-being as its prevalence continues to surge year by year. Presently, pharmacological treatment remains the favored adjunct strategy for addressing obesity. However, conventional delivery methods suffer from low bioavailability and the potential for side effects, underscoring the pressing need for more efficient and targeted delivery approaches. Recent research has delved extensively into emerging drug delivery systems employing polymers as carriers, with numerous preclinical studies contributing to the growing body of knowledge. This review concentrates on the utilization of natural polymers as drug delivery systems for the treatment of obesity, encompassing recent advancements in both natural and synthetic polymers. The comprehensive exploration includes an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages associated with these polymer carriers. The examination of these characteristics provides valuable insights into potential future developments in the field of drug delivery for obesity treatment.

Abstract
Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) are crucial in maintaining a low-grade inflammatory microenvironment in adipose tissues (ATs). Modulating ATM polarization to attenuate inflammation represents a potential strategy for treating obesity with insulin resistance. This study develops a combination therapy of celastrol (CLT) and phenformin (PHE) using chondroitin sulfate-derived micelles. Specifically, CLT-loaded 4-aminophenylboronic acid pinacol ester-modified chondroitin sulfate micelle (CS-PBE/CLT) and chondroitin sulfate-phenformin conjugate micelles (CS-PHE) were synthesized, which were shown to actively target ATs through CD44-mediated pathways. Furthermore, the dual micellar systems significantly reduced inflammation and lipid accumulation via protein quantification and Oil Red O staining. In preliminary in vivo studies, we performed H&E staining, immunohistochemical staining, insulin tolerance test, and glucose tolerance test, and the results showed that the combination therapy using CS-PBE/CLT and CS-PHE micelles significantly reduced the average body weight, white adipose tissue mass, and liver mass of high-fat diet-fed mice while improving their systemic glucose homeostasis. Overall, this combination therapy presents a promising alternative to current treatment options for diet-induced obesity.

Abstract
Obesity is a clinical condition with rising popularity and detrimental impacts on human health. According to the World Health Organization, obesity is the sixth most common cause of death worldwide. It is challenging to combat obesity because medications that are successful in the clinical investigation have harmful side effects when administered orally. The conventional approaches for treating obesity primarily entail synthetic compounds and surgical techniques but possess severe adverse effects and recurrences. As a result, a safe and effective strategy to combat obesity must be initiated. Recent studies have shown that biological macromolecules of the carbohydrate class, such as cellulose, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan, can enhance the release and efficacy of medications for obesity but due to their short biological half-lives and poor oral bioavailability, their distribution rate is affected. This helps to comprehend the need for an effective therapeutic approach via a transdermal drug delivery system. This review focuses on the transdermal administration, utilizing cellulose, chitosan, and hyaluronic acid via microneedles, as it offers a promising solution to overcome existing therapy limitations in managing obesity and it also highlights how microneedles can effectively deliver therapeutic substances through the skin's outer layer, bypassing pain receptors and specifically targeting adipose tissue.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have unique physicochemical properties that are useful for a broad range of biomedical and industrial applications; nevertheless, increasing concern exists about their biosafety. This review aims to focus on the implications of nanoparticles in cellular metabolism and their outcomes. In particular, some NPs have the ability to modify glucose and lipid metabolism, and this feature is especially interesting to treat diabetes and obesity and to target cancer cells. However, the lack of specificity to reach target cells and the toxicological evaluation of nontargeted cells can potentially induce detrimental side effects, closely related to inflammation and oxidative stress. Therefore, identifying the metabolic alterations caused by NPs, independent of their application, is highly needed. To our knowledge, this increase would lead to the improvement and safer use with a reduced toxicity, increasing the number of available NPs for diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.

Abstract
Precision nanomedicine can be employed as an alternative to chemo- or radiotherapy to overcome challenges associated with the often narrow therapeutic window of traditional treatment approaches, while safely inducing effective, targeted antitumor responses. Herein, we report the formulation of a therapeutic nanocomposite comprising a hyaluronic acid (HA)-coated gold nanoframework (AuNF) delivery system and encapsulated IT848, a small molecule with potent antilymphoma and -myeloma properties that targets the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). The porous AuNFs fabricated via a liposome-templated approach were loaded with IT848 and surface-functionalized with HA to formulate the nanotherapeutics that were able to efficiently deliver the payload with high specificity to myeloma and lymphoma cell lines in vitro. In vivo studies characterized biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and safety of HA-AuNFs, and we demonstrated superior efficacy of HA-AuNF-formulated IT848 vs free IT848 in lymphoma mouse models. Both in vitro and in vivo results affirm that the AuNF system can be adopted for targeted cancer therapy, improving the drug safety profile, and enhancing its efficacy with minimal dosing. HA-AuNF-formulated IT848 therefore has strong potential for clinical translation.

Differential effects of temperature and mTOR and Wnt-planar cell polarity pathways on syndecan-4 and CD44 expression in growth-selected turkey satellite cell populations. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0281350.

Abstract
Satellite cells (SCs) comprise a heterogeneous population of muscle stem cells. Thermal stress during the first week after hatch alters proliferation, myogenesis, and adipogenesis of SCs of turkey pectoralis major (p. major) muscle via mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) and wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site family/planar cell polarity (Wnt/PCP) pathways. Pivotal genes in mTOR and Wnt/PCP pathways are mTOR and frizzled-7 (Fzd7), respectively. The objective of this study was to determine the differential effects of thermal stress on SDC4 and CD44 expression in turkey p. major muscle SCs and how the expression of SDC4 and CD44 is modulated by the mTOR and Wnt/PCP pathways. Satellite cells were isolated from the p. major muscle of 1-week-old faster-growing modern-commercial (NC) turkeys and slower-growing historic Randombred Control Line 2 (RBC2) turkeys, and were challenged with hot (43°C) and cold (33°C) thermal stress for 72 h of proliferation followed by 48 h of differentiation. The NC line SCs were found to contain a lower proportion of SDC4 positive and CD44 negative (SDC4+CD44-) cells and a greater proportion of SDC4 negative and CD44 positive (SDC4-CD44+) cells compared to the RBC2 line at the control temperature (38°C) at both 72 h of proliferation and 48 h of differentiation. In general, at 72 h of proliferation, the proportion of SDC4+CD44- cells decreased with heat stress (43°C) and increased with cold stress (33°C) relative to the control temperature (38°C) in both lines, whereas the proportion of SDC4-CD44+ cells increased with heat stress and decreased with cold stress. In general, the expression of SDC4 and CD44 in the NC SCs showed greater response to both hot and cold thermal stress compared to the RBC2 cells. Knockdown of mTOR or Fzd7 expression increased the proportion of SDC4+CD44- cells while the proportion of SDC4-CD44+ cells decreased during differentiation with line differences being specific to treatment temperatures. Thus, differential composition of p. major muscle SCs in growth-selected commercial turkey may be resulted, in part, from the alteration in SDC4 and CD44 expression. Results indicate differential temperature sensitivity and mTOR and Wnt/PCP pathway responses of growth-selected SC populations and this may have long-lasting effect on muscle development and growth.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid, or hyaluronan (HA), is a nonsulfated glucosaminoglycan that has long been recognized for its hydrophilic properties and is widely used as a dermal filler. Despite much attention given to the study of other extracellular matrix (ECM) components, in the field of ECM properties and their contribution to tissue fibroinflammation, little is known of HA's potential role in the extracellular milieu. However, recent studies suggest that it is involved in inflammatory response, diet-induced insulin resistance, adipogenesis, and autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes. Based on its unique physical property as a regulator of osmotic pressure, we emphasize underestimated implications in adipose tissue function, adipogenesis, and obesity-related dysfunction.

Abstract
Although conventional topical approaches for treating psoriasis have been offered as an alternative, there are still unmet medical needs such as low skin-penetrating efficacy and off-target adverse effects. A hyaluronic acid nanoparticle (HA-NP) formed by self-assembly of HA-hydrophobic moiety conjugates has been broadly studied as a nanocarrier for long-term and target-specific delivery of drugs, owing to their excellent physicochemical and biological characteristics. Here, we identify HA-NPs as topical therapeutics for treating psoriasis using in vivo skin penetration studies and psoriasis animal models. Transcutaneously administered HA-NPs were found to be accumulated and associated with pro-inflammatory macrophages in the inflamed dermis of a psoriasis mouse model. Importantly, HA-NP exerted potent therapeutic efficacy against psoriasis-like skin dermatitis in a size-dependent manner by suppressing innate immune responses and restoring skin barrier function without overt toxicity signs. The therapeutic efficacy of HA-NPs on psoriasis-like skin dermatitis was due to the outermost hydrophilic HA shell layer of HA-NPs, independent of the molecular weight of HA and hydrophobic moiety, and comparable with that of other conventional psoriasis therapeutics widely used in the clinical settings. Overall, HA-NPs have the potential as a topical nanomedicine for treating psoriasis effectively and safely.

Abstract
In recent years, natural polysaccharides have been considered as the ideal candidates for novel drug delivery systems because of their good biocompatibility, biodegradation, low immunogenicity, renewable source and easy modification. These natural polymers are widely used in the designing of nanocarriers, which possess wide applications in therapeutics, diagnostics, delivery and protection of bioactive compounds or drugs. A great deal of studies could be focused on developing polysaccharide nanoparticles and promoting their application in various fields, especially in biomedicine. In this review, a variety of polysaccharide-based nanocarriers were introduced, including nanoliposomes, nanoparticles, nanomicelles, nanoemulsions and nanohydrogels, focusing on the latest research progress of these nanocarriers in the treatment of diabetes and the possible strategies for further study of polysaccharide nanocarriers.

Abstract
CD44, a cell-surface glycoprotein, has long been studied as a cancer molecule due to its essential role in physiological activities in normal cells and pathological activities in cancer cells, such as cell proliferation, adhesion, and migration; angiogenesis; inflammation; and cytoskeleton rearrangement. Yet, recent evidence suggests a role of CD44 in metabolism, especially insulin resistance in obesity and diabetes. In line with the current concept of fibroinflammation in obesity and insulin resistance, CD44 as the main receptor of the extracellular matrix component, hyaluronan (HA), has been shown to regulate diet-induced insulin resistance in muscle and other insulin-sensitive tissues. In this review, we integrate current evidence for a role of CD44 in regulating glucose and lipid homeostasis and speculate about its involvement in the pathogenesis of chronic metabolic diseases, including obesity and diabetes. We summarize the current development of CD44-targeted therapies and discuss its potential for the use in treating metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural polymer, has gained much attention recently because of its good biocompatibility and extensive availability. Herein, a novel drug delivery system based on hyaluronic acid-tetraphenyl ethylene conjugate (HA-SS-TPE) with glutathione (GSH)-responsiveness for targeted drug delivery is designed. During the self-assembly of HA-SS-TPE, doxorubicin (DOX) is loaded to form DOX-loaded polymeric micelles. These as-prepared DOX-loaded polymeric micelles not only exhibit fluorescent emission, but also fast glutathione-triggered dissociation to unload DOX by responding to tumor microenvironments. In-vitro investigations showed that the DOX-loaded polymeric micelles presented a higher intracellular release ratio in CD44-positive cells (ES2 and Hela) than in CD44-negative cells (MCF-7 and L929). Notably, in vivo investigations showed that DOX@HA-SS-TPE significantly suppressed tumor growth. As a result, such a GSH-responsive drug delivery system with fluorescent feature provides a potential treatment for CD44-overexpressing cancers.

Abstract
To achieve target delivery of anti-tumor drugs with great biocompatibility into tumor tissues, a stimuli-responsive dendronized hyaluronic acid (HA)-docetaxel conjugate (HA-DTX-Dendron, HADD) was designed and prepared. The incorporation of HA in HADD improved the delivery of DTX to tumor cells with rich CD44 receptors. Enhanced biocompatibility and therapeutic outcomes were achieved using glyodendrons-modified HA and tumor microenvironment-responsive linkers in HADD. The glycodendron was connected with HA via GSH-responsive disulfide bonds, and the drug DTX was linked to the carrier via a cathepsin B-responsive tetrapeptide GFLG. This design resulted in self-assembly nanostructures for facilitating uptake of HADD by tumor cells and rapid release of DTX to exert its therapeutic effect. Compared to free DTX, HADD showed much higher tumor growth inhibition in the MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing mice model (up to 99.71%), and no toxicity was observed. Therefore, HADD could be employed as an efficacious nano-agent for treating triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Self-assembled hyaluronic acid nanoparticles for osteoarthritis treatment. Biomaterials 2021; 275:120967.

Abstract
Although osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent degenerative joint disease, there is no effective disease-modifying therapy. We report an empty self-assembled hyaluronic acid nanoparticle (HA-NP) as a potential therapeutic agent for OA treatment. In mouse primary articular chondrocytes, HA-NPs blocked the receptor-mediated cellular uptake of free low-molecular-weight HA, and the cellular uptake of HA-NPs increased by ectopic expression of CD44, using an adenoviral delivery system (Ad-Cd44). HA-NP showed in vitro resistance to digestion with hyaluronidase and in vivo long-term retention ability in knee joint, compared with free high-molecular-weight (HMW) HA. CD44 expression increased in the damaged articular cartilage of patients and mice with OA. Ad-Cd44 infection and IL-1β treatment induced in vitro phenotypes of OA by enhancing catabolic gene expression in primary articular chondrocytes, and these effects were attenuated by HA-NP, but not HMW HA. Both Cd44 deficiency and intra-articular injection of HA-NP protected joint cartilage against OA development in the OA mouse model. NF-κB was found to mediate CD44-induced catabolic factor expression and HA-NP inhibited CD44-induced NF-κB activation in chondrocytes. Our results identify an empty HA-NP as a potential therapeutic agent targeting CD44 for OA treatment, and the CD44-NF-κB-catabolic gene axis as an underlying mechanism of destructive cartilage disorders.

Role of the interactions of soft hyaluronan nanomaterials with CD44 and supported bilayer membranes in the cellular uptake. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 205:111916.

Abstract
Increasing valence by acting on nanomaterial morphology can enhance the ability of a ligand to specifically bind to targeted cells. Herein, we investigated cell internalization of soft hyaluronic acid (HA) nanoplatelets (NPs) that exhibit a typical hexagonal shape, flat surfaces and high aspect ratio (Γ≈12 to 20), as characterized by atomic force microscopy in hydrated conditions. Fluorescence imaging revealed that internalization of HA-NPs by a T24 tumor cell line and by macrophages was higher than native polysaccharide in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manners. The ability of HA-NPs to efficiently compete with native HA assessed using Bio-layer interferometry showed that NPs had a stronger interaction with recombinant CD44 receptor compared to native HA. The results were discussed regarding physical properties of the NPs and the implication of multivalent interactions in HA binding to CD44. Experiments conducted on supported bilayer membranes with different compositions showed that non-specific interactions of NPs with lipid membranes were negligible. Our findings provide insights into intracellular drug delivery using soft HA-NPs through receptor-mediated multivalent interactions.

Abstract
Adipocytes are specialized cells with pleiotropic roles in physiology and pathology. Several types of fat cells with distinct metabolic properties coexist in various anatomically defined fat depots in mammals. White, beige, and brown adipocytes differ in their handling of lipids and thermogenic capacity, promoting differences in size and morphology. Moreover, adipocytes release lipids and proteins with paracrine and endocrine functions. The intrinsic properties of adipocytes pose specific challenges in culture. Mature adipocytes float in suspension culture due to high triacylglycerol content and are fragile. Moreover, a fully differentiated state, notably acquirement of the unilocular lipid droplet of white adipocyte, has so far not been reached in two-dimensional culture. Cultures of mouse and human-differentiated preadipocyte cell lines and primary cells have been established to mimic white, beige, and brown adipocytes. Here, we survey various models of differentiated preadipocyte cells and primary mature adipocyte survival describing main characteristics, culture conditions, advantages, and limitations. An important development is the advent of three-dimensional culture, notably of adipose spheroids that recapitulate in vivo adipocyte function and morphology in fat depots. Challenges for the future include isolation and culture of adipose-derived stem cells from different anatomic location in animal models and humans differing in sex, age, fat mass, and pathophysiological conditions. Further understanding of fat cell physiology and dysfunction will be achieved through genetic manipulation, notably CRISPR-mediated gene editing. Capturing adipocyte heterogeneity at the single-cell level within a single fat depot will be key to understanding diversities in cardiometabolic parameters among lean and obese individuals.

Abstract
Owing to their unique biological functions, hyaluronic acid (HA) and its derivatives have been explored extensively for biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and molecular imaging. In particular, self-assembled HA nanoparticles (HA-NPs) have been used widely as target-specific and long-acting nanocarriers for the delivery of a wide range of therapeutic or diagnostic agents. Recently, it has been demonstrated that empty HA-NPs without bearing any therapeutic agent can be used therapeutically for the treatment of inflammatory diseases via modulating inflammatory responses. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of the significant achievements in this field and highlight the potential of HA-NPs for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is now increasingly considered to be the third gasotransmitter alongside other gaseous signaling molecules, nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). H2S is produced by a variety of endogenous enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways and acts as a modulator of the physiological and pathological events of the body. Adipocytes express the cystathionine γ lyase (CSE)/H2S system, which modulates a variety of biological activities in adipose tissue (AT), including inflammation, apoptosis, insulin resistance, adipokine secretion and adipocyte differentiation. Abnormalities in the physiological functions of AT play an important role in the process of diabetes mellitus. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the general aspects of H2S biochemistry, the effect of H2S on AT function and diabetes mellitus and its molecular signalling mechanisms as well as the potential application of H2S in pharmacotherapy.
