Abstract
The current focus of ovarian cancer (OC) research is the improvement of treatment options through maximising drug effectiveness. OC remains the fifth leading cause of cancer-induced mortality in women worldwide. In recent years, nanotechnology has revolutionised drug delivery systems. Nanoparticles may be utilised as carriers in gene therapy or to overcome the problem of drug resistance in tumours by limiting the number of free drugs in circulation and thereby minimising undesired adverse effects. Cell surface receptors, such as human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2), folic acid (FA) receptors, CD44 (also referred to as homing cell adhesion molecule, HCAM), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are highly expressed in ovarian cancer cells. Generation of active targeting nanoparticles involves modification with ligands that recognise cell surface receptors and thereby promote internalisation by cancer cells. Several poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) are currently used for the treatment of high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOC) or platinum-sensitive relapsed OC. However, PARP resistance and poor drug bioavailability are common challenges, highlighting the urgent need to develop novel, effective strategies for ovarian cancer treatment. This review evaluates the utility of nanoparticles in ovarian cancer therapy, with a specific focus on targeted approaches and the use of PARPi nanocarriers to optimise treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Although essential nanosystems such as nanoparticles and nanocarriers are desirable options for transporting various drug molecules into the biological environment, they rapidly remove from the circulatory system due to their interaction with multiple in vivo barriers, especially the immune barrier, which will result in their short-term effects. In order to improve their effectiveness and durability in the circulatory system, the polymer coatings can use to cover the surface of nanoparticles and nanocarriers to conceal them from the immune system. Due to their different properties (like charge, elasticity, and hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity), these coatings can improve drug delivery nanosystem durability and therapeutic applications. The mentioned coatings have different types and are divided into various categories, such as synthetic polymers, polysaccharides, and zwitterionic polymers. Each of these polymers has unique properties based on its category, origin, and chemical structure that make them suitable for producing stealth drug delivery nanocarriers. In this review article, we have tried to explain the importance of these diverse polymer coatings in determining the fate of drug nanocarriers and then introduced the different types of these coatings and, finally, described various methods that directly and indirectly analyze the nanocoatings to determine the stability of nanoparticles in the body.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally polysaccharide that has been used for drug delivery, but is limited by low drug loading capacity and drug leakage in circulation. To improve drug delivery efficient, HA modified porous silica (pSiO2) nanocarriers were successfully prepared for drug delivery and combining therapy. pSiO2 nanocarriers have stable porous structure and high loading capacity, and pSiO2/HA nanocarriers would possess advantages of HA-based carriers and pSiO2 nanoparticles. Herein, pSiO2 nanocarriers were prepared by two-phase process, followed by embedding Ag2S QDs in the pore walls of pSiO2 carriers, which render the carriers photothermal effect. pSiO2 nanocarriers have size of 30 nm, large channels, and high loading capacity (29.3 %). To graft HA, a sensitive linker with alkyl amine and disulfide bond was conjugated on the surface of Ag2S/pSiO2 nanocarriers by three-step reaction. After loading doxorubicin (DOX), HA was grafted via sensitive linker onto the surface of Ag2S/pSiO2 carriers via the formation of amide bonds to seal the loaded drugs. The interaction between HA and CD44 confers the carrier targeting ability to cancer cells. HA coating can be degraded by hyaluronidase resulting in the release of internal cargo. The Ag2S/pSiO2/HA nanocarriers performs responsive drug release and combining photothermal chemotherapy.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma, the most common malignant tumor of the bone, seriously influences people's lives and increases their economic burden. Conventional chemotherapy drugs achieve limited therapeutic effects owing to poor targeting and severe systemic toxicity. Nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems can significantly enhance the utilization efficiency of chemotherapeutic drugs through targeting ligand modifications and reduce the occurrence of systemic adverse effects. A variety of ligand-modified nano-drug delivery systems have been developed for different targeting schemes. Here we review the biological characteristics and the main challenges of current drug therapy of OS, and further elaborate on different targeting schemes and ligand selection for nano-drug delivery systems of osteosarcoma, which may provide new horizons for the development of advanced targeted drug delivery systems in the future.

Abstract
There is currently a constant search for ecofriendly bioproducts, which could contribute to various biomedical applications. Among bioproducts, exopolysaccharides are prominent contemporary extracellular biopolymers that are produced by a great variety of bacterial species. These homo- or heteropolymers are composed of monomeric sugar units linked by glycosidic bonds, which are secreted to the external medium. Bacillus spp. are reported to be present in different ecosystems and produce exopolysaccharides with different biological properties such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral anti-inflammatory, among others. Since a great diversity of bacterial strains are able to produce exopolysaccharides, a great variation in the molecular composition is observed, which is indeed present in some of the chemical structures predicted until date. These molecular characteristics and their relations with different biological functions are discussed in order to visualize future applications in biomedical section.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OvCa) is currently the fifth most lethal malignancy affecting women health owing to the lack of early diagnosis and treatment choices available before the disease has progressed to a later stage. Paclitaxel (PTX) has shown substantial antineoplastic action against a variety of human cancers, including OvCa, for multiple decades. Despite this, the therapeutic use of this drug is not yet adequate owing to surfactant-related toxicities and off-target effects. In response to these constraints, nanoparticle carriers have evolved as delivery tools for the biocompatible and target delivery of PTX. In this work, a novel polymeric PTX formulation was developed for targeted therapy of OvCa cells, which was achieved by prodrug engineering and HA decoration strategies. Further studies indicated that HA-coated nanodrugs (HA-PLA-PTX NPs) could preferentially accumulate in the CD44-expressing SKOV3 cells, which induced elevated cytotoxicity, reduced cell proliferation, and increased cell apoptosis. In vivo study also demonstrated that equivalent doses of HA-PLA-PTX NPs surpassed the clinical PTX formulation Taxol in a SKOV3 xenograft tumor model. In conclusion, HA-PLA-PTX NPs might be a potentially feasible delivery system for effective OvCa treatment.

Abstract
Cancer cells normally develop the ability to rewire or reprogram themselves to become resistant to treatments that were previously effective. Despite progress in understanding drug resistance, knowledge gaps remain regarding the underlying biological causes of drug resistance and the design of cancer treatments to overcome it. So, resistance acquisition remains a major problem in cancer treatment. Targeted therapeutics are considered the next generation of cancer therapy because they overcome many limitations of traditional treatments. Numerous tumor cells overexpress several receptors that have a high binding affinity for hyaluronic acid (HA), while they are poorly expressed in normal body cells. HA and its derivatives have the advantage of being biocompatible and biodegradable and may be conjugated with a variety of drugs and drug carriers for developing various formulations as anticancer therapies such as micelles, nanogels, and inorganic nanoparticles. Due to their stability in blood circulation and predictable delivery patterns, enhanced tumor-selective drug accumulation, and decreased toxicity to normal tissues, tumor-targeting nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems have been shown to represent an efficacious approach for the treatment of cancer. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of some in vitro and in vivo studies related to the potential of HA as a ligand to develop targeted nanovehicles for future biomedical applications in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Vocal fold (VF) scarring results from injury to the unique layered structure and is one of the main reasons for long-lasting dysphonia. A minimally invasive procedure with injectable hydrogels is a promising method for therapy. However, current surgical techniques or standard injectable fillers do not yield satisfactory outcomes. In this work, an injectable hybrid hydrogel consisting of oxide hyaluronic acid and hydrazide-modified waterborne polyurethane emulsion was injected precisely into the injury site and cross-linked in situ by a dynamic hydrazone bond. The prepared hydrogel displays excellent injectability and self-healing ability, showing favorable biocompatibility and biodegradability to facilitate endogenous newborn cell migration and growth for tissue regeneration. With the aim of evaluating the antifibrosis and regeneration capacity of the hybrid hydrogel in the VF scarring model, the morphology and vibration characteristics of VFs, inflammatory response, and healing status were collected. The hybrid hydrogel can decrease the inflammation and increase the ratio of collagen III/collagen I to heal damaged scar-free tissue. Fascinatingly, the mucosal wave oscillations of healing VF by injecting the hybrid hydrogel were vibrated like the normal VF, achieving functional restoration. This work highlights the utility of hybrid hydrogels consisting of synthetic biodegradable waterborne polyurethane emulsions and natural hyaluronic acid as promising biomaterials for scarless healing of damaged VFs.

Abstract
Coating nanosized anticancer drug delivery systems (DDSs) with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), the so-called PEGylation, has been proven an effective method to enhance hydrophilicity, aqueous dispersivity, and stability of DDSs. What is more, as PEG has the lowest level of protein absorption of any known polymer, PEGylation can reduce the clearance of DDSs by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) and prolong their blood circulation time in vivo. However, the "stealthy" characteristic of PEG also diminishes the uptake of DDSs by cancer cells, which may reduce drug utilization. Therefore, dynamic protection strategies have been widely researched in the past years. Coating DDSs with PEG through dynamic covalent or noncovalent bonds that are stable in blood and normal tissues, but can be broken in the tumor microenvironment (TME), can achieve a DePEGylation-based "tumor-triggered" targeting or intracellular drug release, which can effectively improve the utilization of drugs and reduce their side effects. In this review, the stimuli and methods of "tumor-triggered" targeting or intracellular drug release, based on DePEGylation, are summarized. Additionally, the targeting and intracellular controlled release behaviors of the DDSs are briefly introduced.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) and sono-photodynamic therapy (SPDT) are fast growing local treatment modalities with minimal invasiveness and high safety. Gold nanoparticles and indocyanine green (ICG) have been used as sensitizers for PTT and SPDT. However, long resident time of gold nanoparticles in tissues and fast elimination of ICG hampered their further clinical applications. Herein, we developed nanocapsules formed by hyaluronic acid and chitosan loading with ICG and tiny gold nanoclusters (TAuNCs) to overcome the shortcomings of gold nanoparticles and ICG for combined PTT and SPDT. The nanocapsules exhibited good biological stability, favorable photothermal effects, and ultrasound/near-infrared light (NIR)-responsive release behaviors. The hyaluronic acid could mediate the specific delivery of cargos to CD44 protein over-expressing cancer cells. The in vitro and in vivo results showed that TAuNCs and ICG could act synergistically to obtain satisfactory anticancer effects under NIR laser and/or ultrasound exposure induced by thermal ablation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Biodistribution and excretion studies showed that the nanocapsules had longer ICG retention time in tumor and most of the TAuNCs could be effectively excreted from the body within one month. This study thus provides a facile strategy for the development of a safe and high-performance nanoplatform for synergistic PTT/SPDT.

Abstract
The growing, existing demand for low-cost and high-quality hyaluronic acid (HA) needs an outlook of different possible production strategies from renewable resources with the reduced possibility of cross-infections. Recently, the possibility of producing HA from harmless microorganisms appeared, which offers the opportunity to make HA more economical, without raw material limitations, and environmentally friendly. HA production is mainly reported with Lancefield Streptococci A and C, particularly from S. equi and S. zooepidemicus. Various modes of fermentation such as batch, repeated batch, fed-batch, and continuous culture have been investigated to optimize HA production, particularly from S. zooepidemicus, obtaining a HA yield of 2.5 g L−1 – 7.0 g L−1. Among the different utilized DSP approaches of HA production, recovery with cold ethanol (4°C) and cetylpyridinium chloride is the ideal strategy for lab-scale HA production. On the industrial scale, besides using isopropanol, filtration (0.22 um), ultrafiltration (100 kDa), and activated carbon absorption are employed to obtain HA of low molecular weight and additional ultrafiltration to purify HA of higher MW. Even though mature technologies have already been developed for the industrial production of HA, the projections of increased sales volume and the expansion of application possibilities require new processes to obtain HA with higher productivity, purity, and specific molecular weights. In this review, we have put forth the progress of HA technological research by discussing the microbial biosynthetic aspects, fermentation and downstream strategies, industrial-scale scenarios of HA, and the prospects of HA production to meet the current and ongoing market demands.

Drug Delivery from Hyaluronic Acid–BDDE Injectable Hydrogels for Antibacterial and Anti-Inflammatory Applications. Gels 2022; 8:gels8040223. [PMID: 35448124 PMCID: PMC9033012 DOI: 10.3390/gels8040223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable biomaterials are currently applied in numerous biomedical areas, beyond their use as dermal fillers. However, bacterial infections and painful inflammations are associated with healthcare complications that can appear after injection, restricting their applicability. Fortunately, HA injectable hydrogels can also serve as drug delivery platforms for the controlled release of bioactive agents with a critical role in the control of certain diseases. Accordingly, herein, HA hydrogels were crosslinked with 1 4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) loaded with cefuroxime (CFX), tetracycline (TCN), and amoxicillin (AMX) antibiotics and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) anti-inflammatory agent in order to promote antibacterial and anti-inflammatory responses. The hydrogels were thoroughly characterized and a clear correlation between the crosslinking grade and the hydrogels’ physicochemical properties was found after rheology, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses. The biological safety of the hydrogels, expected due to the lack of BDDE residues observed in 1H-NMR spectroscopy, was also corroborated by an exhaustive biocompatibility test. As expected, the in vitro antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity of the drug-loaded HA-BDDE hydrogels was confirmed against Staphylococcus aureus by significantly decreasing the pro-inflammatory cytokine levels.

Abstract
Growth factors play a vital role in wound healing, and novel hydrogel carriers suitable for growth factors have always been a research hotspot in the wound healthcare field. In this work, a wound microenvironment-responsive hydrogel drug-loading system was constructed by cross-linking of the internal electron-deficient polyester and bovine serum albumin (BSA) via catalyst-free amino-yne bioconjugation. The slightly acidic microenvironment of wound tissues induces the charge removal of BSA chains, thus releasing the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) loaded through electrostatic action. Besides, the BSA chains in the gel network further endow their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, also making them more suitable for bFGF loading. The wound caring evaluation of the hydrogel in the full-thickness skin wound indicated that the protein-based hydrogel significantly promotes the proliferation and differentiation of fibroblasts, collagen accumulation, and epidermal layer stacking, thus significantly shortening the healing process. This strategy paved the way for broadening the application of the growth factors in the wound care field.

Abstract
It is still a huge challenge for concurrent highly efficient loading of chemotherapeutic agent and photosensitizer into single nanocarrier via stimuli-responsive linkages due to their different physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetics. Herein, based on the discovery of unique cisplatin-hydrazide and cisplatin-indocyanine green (ICG) coordination reactions, a multifunctional coordination nanoprodrug, cisplatin/ICG co-loaded hydrazided hyaluronan/bovine serum albumin (HBCI) nanoparticles, was developed by a desolvation-dual coordination process. The nanoprodrug exhibited ultrahigh drug loading efficiency and glutathione/NIR light dual-responsive drug release behavior. In vitro cellular studies demonstrated efficient internalization and apoptosis-inducing ability of the nanoprodrug in HepG2 cells. In vivo results confirmed the efficacious tumor accumulation and biosafety of HBCI nanoprodrug and synergistic effect of HBCI-based combined photodynamic chemotherapy on inhibiting tumor growth. Overall, this work not only provides a novel dual coordination approach for highly efficient loading of cisplatin and ICG but also verifies the therapeutic potential of HBCI nanoprodrug in combating hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
The administration of nanodrugs can lead to metabolism related systemic toxicity due to the use of inert carriers in large quantities. Carrier materials that offer therapeutic effects are therefore a promising means of addressing this limitation. Herein, a hyaluronate-based nanocarrier was prepared from hyaluronic acid (HA) and solanesol. Solanesyl thiosalicylate (STS) derived from solanesol has certain antitumor effects and was used to modify HA. The conjugate (HA-STS) self-assembled into nanoparticles acting as a drug carrier. The synthesis of the conjugates was confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded into the HA-STS nanoparticles with a relatively high content of 6.0%. pH-sensitive drug release behavior was achieved by introducing a hydroazone bond between STS and HA. A cytotoxicity assay indicated that the blank nanoparticles had an antitumor effect, which was enhanced by loading with an additional drug. Moreover, in vivo antitumor experiments indicated that the HA-STS-DOX showed superior tumor inhibition compared with free DOX, as well as lower cardiotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, demonstrating the advantages of the bioactive drug vehicles in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cancer is characterized by disrupted molecular variables caused by cells that deviate from regular signal transduction. The uncontrolled segment of such cancerous cells annihilates most of the tissues that contact them. Gene therapy, immunotherapy, and nanotechnology advancements have resulted in novel strategies for anticancer drug delivery. Furthermore, diverse dispersion of nanoparticles in normal stroma cells adversely affects the healthy cells and disrupts the crosstalk of tumour stroma. It can contribute to cancer cell progression inhibition and, conversely, to acquired resistance, enabling cancer cell metastasis and proliferation. The tumour's microenvironment is critical in controlling the dispersion and physiological activities of nano-chemotherapeutics which is one of the targeted drug therapy. As it is one of the methods of treating cancer that involves the use of medications or other substances to specifically target and kill off certain subsets of malignant cells. A targeted therapy may be administered alone or in addition to more conventional methods of care like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation treatment. The tumour microenvironment, stromatogenesis, barriers and advancement in the drug delivery system across tumour tissue are summarised in this review.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been well-researched in the design and fabrication of advanced drug delivery systems (DDSs) due to their advantages such as good biocompatibility, large specific surface area and pore volume for drug loading, easily surface modification, adjusted size and good thermal/chemical stability. For MSN-based DDSs, gate materials are also necessary. And natural polysaccharides, one kind of the most abundant natural resource, have been widely applied as the "gatekeepers" in MSN-based DDSs. Polysaccharides are cheap and rich in sources with good biocompatibility, and some of them have important biological functions. In this review article, polysaccharides including chitosan, hyaluronic acid, sodium alginate and dextran, et al. are briefly introduced. And the preparation processes and properties such as controlled drug release, cancer targeting and disease diagnosis of functional polysaccharide/MSN-based DDSs are discussed.

Abstract
Biofouling is the unwanted adsorption of cells, proteins, or intracellular and extracellular biomolecules that can spontaneously occur on the surface of metal nanocomplexes. It represents a major issue in bioinorganic chemistry because it leads to the creation of a protein corona, which can destabilize a colloidal solution and result in undesired macrophage-driven clearance, consequently causing failed delivery of a targeted drug cargo. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a bioactive, natural mucopolysaccharide with excellent antifouling properties, arising from its hydrophilic and polyanionic characteristics in physiological environments which prevent opsonization. In this study, hyaluronate-thiol (HA-SH) (MW 10 kDa) was used to surface-passivate gold nanoparticles (GNPs) synthesized using a citrate reduction method. HA functionalized GNP complexes (HA-GNPs) were characterized using absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering. GNP cellular uptake and potential dose-dependent cytotoxic effects due to treatment were evaluated in vitro in HeLa cells using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and trypan blue and MTT assays. Further, we quantified the in vivo biodistribution of intratumorally injected HA functionalized GNPs in Lewis Lung carcinoma (LLC) solid tumors grown on the flank of C57BL/6 mice and compared localization and retention with nascent particles. Our results reveal that HA-GNPs show overall greater peritumoral distribution (** p < 0.005, 3 days post-intratumoral injection) than citrate-GNPs with reduced biodistribution in off-target organs. This property represents an advantageous step forward in localized delivery of metal nano-complexes to the infiltrative region of a tumor, which may improve the application of nanomedicine in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
The multifunctional combined nanoplatform has a wide application prospect in the synergistic treatment of cancer. Nevertheless, the traditional treatment of phototherapy is limited by the catalytic nanomaterial itself, so the effect is not satisfactory. Here, the arris of the anisotropic truncated octahedral Au (TOh Au) was coated with noble metal Pt to form a spatial separation structure, which enhanced the local surface plasmonic resonance and thus boosted the photocatalytic effect. In this system, the highly efficient photocatalysis provides a strong guarantee for oncotherapy. On the one hand, the structure of arris deposition adequately improves the efficiency of photothermal conversion, which substantially improves the effectiveness of photothermal therapy. On the other hand, in situ oxygen production of Pt ameliorates tumor hypoxia, and through the O2 self-production and sales mode, the growth and development of tumor were inhibited. Meanwhile, under the enhanced photocatalysis, more O2 were produced, which greatly evolved the treatment effect of photodynamic therapy. In the end, the addition of hyaluronic acid can specifically target osteosarcoma cells while improving the retention time and biocompatibility of the material in the body. Thus, the nanocomposite shows superexcellent synergistic enhancement of photothermal conversion efficiency and photodynamic capability in vitro and in vivo, which provides a potential possibility for osteosarcoma cure.

Abstract
The emergence of nanomaterials for drug delivery provides the opportunity to avoid the side effects of systemic drug administration and injury caused by the removal of tumors, delivering great promise for future cancer treatments. However, the efficacy of current nano drugs is not significantly better than that of the original drug treatments. The important reason is that nano drugs enter the tumor vasculature, remaining close to the blood vessels and unable to enter the tumor tissue or tumor cells to complete the drug delivery process. The low efficiency of drug penetration into tumors has become a bottleneck restricting the development of nano-drugs. Herein, we present a systematic overview of recent advances on the design of nano-drug carriers in drug delivery systems for enhancing drug penetration into tumors. The review is organized into four sections: The drug penetration process in tumor tissue includes paracellular and transcellular transport, which is summarized first. Strategies that promote tumor penetration are then introduced, including methods of remodeling the tumor microenvironment, charge inversion, dimensional change, and surface modification of ligands which promote tissue penetration. Conclusion and the prospects for the future development of drug penetration are finally briefly illustrated. The review is intended to provide thoughts for effective treatment of cancer by summarizing strategies for promoting the endocytosis of nano drugs into tumor cells.

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
Owing to its outstanding water-retention ability, viscoelasticity, biocompatibility and non-immunogenicity, Hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural linear polymer alternating linked by d-glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine, has been widely employed in cosmetic, medical and clinical applications. With the development of synthetic biology and bioprocessing optimization, HA production via microbial fermentation is an economical and sustainable alternative over traditional animal extraction methods. Indeed, recently Streptococci and other recombinant systems for HA synthesis has received increasing interests due to its technical advantages. This review summarizes the production of HA by microorganisms and demonstrates its synthesis mechanism, focusing on the current status in various production systems, as well as common synthetic biology strategies include driving more carbon flux into HA biosynthesis and regulating the molecular weight (MW), and finally discusses the major challenges and prospects.

Effect of Hofmeister Ions on Transport Properties of Aqueous Solutions of Sodium Hyaluronate. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22041932. [PMID: 33669232 PMCID: PMC7919783 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22041932] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2021] [Revised: 02/10/2021] [Accepted: 02/11/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Tracer diffusion coefficients obtained from the Taylor dispersion technique at 25.0 °C were measured to study the influence of sodium, ammonium and magnesium salts at 0.01 and 0.1 mol dm−3 on the transport behavior of sodium hyaluronate (NaHy, 0.1%). The selection of these salts was based on their position in Hofmeister series, which describe the specific influence of different ions (cations and anions) on some physicochemical properties of a system that can be interpreted as a salting-in or salting-out effect. In our case, in general, an increase in the ionic strength (i.e., concentrations at 0.01 mol dm−3) led to a significant decrease in the limiting diffusion coefficient of the NaHy 0.1%, indicating, in those circumstances, the presence of salting-in effects. However, the opposite effect (salting-out) was verified with the increase in concentration of some salts, mainly for NH4SCN at 0.1 mol dm−3. In this particular salt, the cation is weakly hydrated and, consequently, its presence does not favor interactions between NaHy and water molecules, promoting, in those circumstances, less resistance to the movement of NaHy and thus to the increase of its diffusion (19%). These data, complemented by viscosity measurements, permit us to have a better understanding about the effect of these salts on the transport behaviour of NaHy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is the most important treatment strategy in free radical therapy. However, tumor microenvironment hypoxia is a key obstacle in PDT. In order to overcome this obstacle, the strategy of in situ production of O2/radicals by catalytic reaction in solid tumors was proposed. In recent years, it has been found that there are many oxygen-independent carbon-based free radicals that can generate toxic active free radicals under laser irradiation and lead to tumor cell death. Based on the rational design of multifunctional nano-medicine, the active free radical nano-generator has opened up a new way for the highly developed nanotechnology and tumor cooperative therapy to improve the therapeutic effect. In this paper, the research status of active free radical nano-generators, especially reactive oxygen species, including the construction mechanism of active free radical nanomaterials, is reviewed and the application of free radical nano-generators in tumor therapy is emphasized.

Carbohydr Polym 2021; 257:117572. [PMID: 33541631 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2020.117572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2020] [Revised: 12/11/2020] [Accepted: 12/25/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA)-coated liposomes were designed for the targeted delivery of 17-hydroxy-jolkinolide B (HA-Lip-HJB). HA-Lip-HJB had a particle size of 130.8 ± 1.9 nm, zeta potential of -52.36 ± 1.91 mV, and encapsulation efficiency of 89.2 ± 1.5 %. In vitro cell experiments indicated that modification of HA-Lip-HJB increased its cytotoxicity and cellular uptake via CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway. Of particular importance is that HA-Lip-HJB suppressed cell migration and invasion by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Moreover, the HA-Lip-HJB displayed notable growth inhibition on tumor spheroids. Furthermore, in vivo tissue distribution and anti-tumor experiments carried on BALB/C mice bearing 4T1 tumor indicated that HA-Lip-HJB had strong tumor targeting and tumor suppression abilities. The results also demonstrated that HA-Lip-HJB inhibited tumor cells migration and colonization on the lung. Therefore, HA-Lip-HJB is a promising formulation for metastatic breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Biodegradable natural polymers have been investigated extensively as the best choice for encapsulation and delivery of drugs. The research has attracted remarkable attention in the pharmaceutical industry. The shortcomings of conventional dosage systems, along with modified and targeted drug delivery methods, are addressed by using polymers with improved bioavailability, biocompatibility, and lower toxicity. Therefore, nanomedicines are now considered to be an innovative type of medication. This review critically examines the use of natural biodegradable polymers and their drug delivery systems for local or targeted and controlled/sustained drug release against fatal diseases.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) also known as hyaluronan, is a natural polysaccharide—an anionic, non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan—commonly found in our bodies. It occurs in the highest concentrations in the eyes and joints. Today HA is used during certain eye surgeries and in the treatment of dry eye disease. It is a remarkable natural lubricant that can be injected into the knee for patients with knee osteoarthritis. HA has also excellent gelling properties due to its capability to bind water very quickly. As such, it is one the most attractive controlled drug release matrices and as such, it is frequently used in various biomedical applications. Due to its reactivity, HA can be cross-linked or conjugated with assorted bio-macromolecules and it can effectively encapsulate several different types of drugs, even at nanoscale. Moreover, the physiological significance of the interactions between HA and its main membrane receptor, CD44 (a cell-surface glycoprotein that modulates cell–cell interactions, cell adhesion and migration), in pathological processes, e.g., cancer, is well recognized and this has resulted in an extensive amount of studies on cancer drug delivery and tumor targeting. HA acts as a therapeutic but also as a tunable matrix for drug release. Thus, this review focuses on controlled or sustained drug release systems assembled from HA and its derivatives. More specifically, recent advances in controlled release of proteins, antiseptics, antibiotics and cancer targeting drugs from HA and its derivatives were reviewed. It was shown that controlled release from HA has many benefits such as optimum drug concentration maintenance, enhanced therapeutic effects, improved efficiency of treatment with less drug, very low or insignificant toxicity and prolonged in vivo release rates.
