Novel Bovine Serum Albumin-Decorated–Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Able to Modulate Apoptosis and Cell-Cycle Response in Ovarian, Breast, and Colon Tumoral Cells. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15041125. [PMID: 37111611 PMCID: PMC10144507 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15041125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
A novel nanoscale approach was developed for the improved cellular internalization of hybrid bovine serum albumin–lipid nanocarriers loaded with piperine (NLC-Pip–BSA) in different tumor cells. The effect of the BSA-targeted–NLC-Pip and untargeted-NLC-Pip on the viability, proliferation, and levels of cell-cycle damage and apoptosis in the colon (LoVo), ovarian (SKOV3) and breast (MCF7) adenocarcinoma cell lines was comparatively discussed. NLCs were characterized concerning particle size, morphology, zeta potential, phytochemical encapsulation efficiency, ATR-FTIR, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that NLC-Pip–BSA showed a mean size below 140 nm, a zeta potential of −60 mV, and an entrapment efficiency of 81.94% for NLC-Pip and 80.45% for NLC-Pip–BSA. Fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed the coating of the NLC with the albumin. By MTS and RTCA assays, NLC-Pip–BSA showed a more pronounced response against the LoVo colon cell line and MCF-7 breast tumor cell lines than against the ovarian SKOV-3 cell line. Flow cytometry assay demonstrated that the targeted NLC-Pip had more cytotoxicity and improved apoptosis than the untargeted ones in MCF-7 tumor cells (p < 0.05). NLC-Pip caused a significant increase in MCF-7 breast tumor cell apoptosis of ~8X, while NLC-Pip–BSA has shown an 11-fold increase in apoptosis.

Abstract
Achieving the best possible outcome for the therapy is the main goal of a medicine. Therefore, nanocarriers and co-delivery strategies were invented to meet this need, as they can benefit many diseases. This approach was applied specifically for cancer treatment, with some success. However, these strategies may benefit many other clinical issues. Skin is the largest and most exposed organ of the human body, with physiological and psychological properties. Due to its exposition and importance, it is not difficult to understand how many skin diseases may impact on patients' lives, representing an important burden for society. Thus, this review aims to summarize the state of the art in research concerning nanocarriers and co-delivery strategies for topical agents' applications targeting skin diseases. The challenge for the medicine of the future is to deliver the drug with spatial and temporal control. Therefore, the co-encapsulation of drugs and the appropriate form of administration for them are so important and remain as unmet needs.

Abstract
At present, nano-carrier materials with antibacterial activity are of great significance. Due to the widespread resistance of many pathogenic microorganisms, it has seriously threatened human health. The natural antimicrobial substances extracted from fruits and vegetables can significantly improve their stability combined with nano-carrier materials. The resistance of pathogenic microorganisms will be substantially reduced, greatly enhancing the effect of active antimicrobial substances. Nanotechnology has excellent research prospects in the food industry, antibacterial preservation, food additives, food packaging, and other fields. This paper introduces nano-carrier materials and preparation techniques for loading and encapsulating active antibacterial substances in detail by constructing a nano-release system for active antibacterial substances. The antibacterial effect can be achieved by protecting them from adverse external conditions and destroying the membrane of pathogenic microorganisms. The mechanism of the slow release of the bacteriostatic active substance is also described. The mechanism of carrier loading and release is mainly through non-covalent forces between the bacteriostatic active substance and the carrier material, such as hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, van der Waals forces, electrostatic interactions, etc., as well as the loading and adsorption of the bacteriostatic active substance by the chemical assembly. Finally, its wide application in food and medicine is introduced. It is hoped to provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the efficient utilization and product development of bacteriostatic active substances.

Liposomes Containing Amaranth Unsaponifiable Matter and Soybean Lunasin Suppress ROS Production in Fibroblasts and Reduced Interleukin Production in Macrophages. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:11678. [PMID: 36141952 PMCID: PMC9517488 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191811678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 09/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Inflammation is a normal response in defense to agents that may cause damage to the human body. When inflammation becomes chronic, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced; which could lead to diseases such as cancer. The aim was to assess liposomes' antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity loaded with amaranth unsaponifiable matter and soybean lunasin (UM + LunLip) in an in vitro model using fibroblasts and macrophages. To evaluate ROS production, fibroblasts CHON-002 ABAP were added to promote ROS production; and the cells were treated with UM + LunLip. For inflammation markers production, lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 and peritoneal macrophages were treated with empty liposomes (EmLip), liposomes loaded with unsaponifiable matter (UMLip), liposomes loaded with lunasin (LunLip), and UM + LunLip. ROS production was significantly decreased by 77% (p < 0.05) when fibroblasts were treated with UM + LunLip at 2 mg lunasin/mL compared with the control treated with ABAP. Treatment with UMLip was the most effective in reducing tumor necrosis factor-α (71-90%) and interleukin-6 (43-55%, p < 0.001). Both liposomes containing unsaponifiable matter (UMLip and UM + LunLip) were more effective than EmLip or LunLip. In conclusion, amaranth unsaponifiable matter-loaded liposomes are effective in decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

Abstract
This work pledge to extend the therapeutic windows of hybrid nanoparticulate systems by engineering mannose-decorated hybrid nanoparticles based on poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) and vegetable oil for efficient delivery of two lipophilic anti-inflammatory therapeutics (Celecoxib-CL and Indomethacin-IMC) to macrophages. The mannose surface modification of nanoparticles is achieved via O-palmitoyl-mannose spacer during the emulsification and nanoparticles assembly process. The impact of targeting motif on the hydrodynamic features (RH, PdI), stability (ζ-potential), drug encapsulation efficiency (DEE) is thoroughly investigated. Besides, the in vitro biocompatibility (MTT, LDH) and susceptibility of mannose-decorated formulations to macrophage as well their immunomodulatory activity (ELISA) are also evaluated. The monomodal distributed mannose-decorated nanoparticles are in the range of nanometric size (RH < 115 nm) with PdI < 0.20 and good encapsulation efficiency (DEE = 46.15% for CL and 76.20% for IMC). The quantitative investigation of macrophage uptake shows a 2-fold increase in fluorescence (RFU) of cells treated with mannose-decorated formulations as compared to non-decorated ones (p < 0.001) suggesting an enhanced cell uptake respectively improved macrophage targeting while the results of ELISA experiments suggest the potential immunomodulatory properties of the designed mannose-decorated hybrid formulations.

Abstract
In this work, a noncovalent strategy was successfully used to modify colloidal stability andin vitroandin vivoefficacy of two amphiphilic formulations of the anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin. Namely, nanoemulsions and microemulsions based on oleic acid and nonionic surfactants have been produced and compared. The influence of cationic surfactants cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and its carbamate bearing analogue on the size characteristics, stability and ability to provide prolonged action of loaded drug indomethacin has been evaluated. Adding the positively charged molecules in the surface layer of nanoemulsions and microemulsions has shown the stability increase along with maintaining the size characteristics and homogeneity in time. Moreover, the carbamate modified analogue demonstrated beneficial behavior. Indomethacin loaded in microemulsions and nanoemulsions showed prolonged-release (10%-15% release for 5 h) compared to a free drug (complete release for 5 h). The rate of release of indomethacin from nanoemulsions was slightly higher than from microemulsions and insignificantly decreased with an increase in the concentration of the cationic surfactant. For carbamate surfactant nanocarrier loaded with fluorescence probe Nile Red, the ability to penetrate into the cell was supported by flow cytometry study and visualized by fluorescence microscopy.In vitrotests on anti-inflammatory activity of the systems demonstrated that the blood cell membrane stabilization increased in the case of modified microemulsion. The anti-inflammatory activity of the encapsulated drug was tested in rats using a carrageenan-induced edema model. Nanoemulsions without cationic surfactants appeared more efficient compared to microemulsions. Indomethacin emulsion formulations with carbamate surfactant added showed slower carrageenan-induced edema progression compared to unmodified compositions. Meanwhile, the edema completely disappeared upon treatment with emulsion loaded indomethacin after 4 h in the case of microemulsions versus 5 h in the case of nanoemulsions.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are a remarkable cause of morbidity, requiring long-time treatments with a significant impact on the quality of life and high costs for public health. Although there are a variety of topical skin preparations commercially available, they have several limitations that frequently impair wound healing, such as drug instability, toxicity, limited time of action and ineffective skin permeation. In recent years, researchers have focused on the development of new effective treatments for wound healing and shown frequent interest in nanometric drug delivery systems to overcome such obstacles. In dermatology, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have received great attention from researchers due to their great functionalities, greater adhesion to the skin and film formation, enabling the hydration and maintenance of skin integrity, as well as present a more effective penetration through the skin barrier. This review provides an update on topical formulations based on Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) and Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLCs) as wound healing treatments. Both SLNs and NLCs are able to increase solubility and stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients and increase skin penetration compared to the free drugs. Additionally, SLNs and NLCs can increase pharmacological activity, increase the release profile of the drugs, promote synergistic effects and improve the sensory properties of the final formulation. Topical dosage forms containing nanoparticles have been extensively evaluated for wound healing activity, mainly the dressings, films and scaffolds. Therefore, lipid nanoparticles have contributed in improving wound healing therapies when incorporated into other dosage forms with better efficacy and lesser adverse effects than conventional formulations.
