J Control Release 2024; 371:445-454. [PMID: 38844180 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2024.06.006] [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: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
In boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), boron drugs should exhibit high intratumoral boron concentrations during neutron irradiation, while being cleared from the blood and normal organs. However, it is usually challenging to achieve such tumor accumulation and quick clearance simultaneously in a temporally controlled manner. Here, we developed a polymer-drug conjugate that can actively control the clearance of the drugs from the blood. This polymer-drug conjugate is based on a biocompatible polymer that passively accumulates in tumors. Its side chains were conjugated with the low-molecular-weight boron drugs, which are immediately excreted by the kidneys, via photolabile linkers. In a murine subcutaneous tumor model, the polymer-drug conjugate could accumulate in the tumor with the high boron concentration ratio of the tumor to the surrounding normal tissue (∼10) after intravenous injection while a considerable amount remained in the bloodstream as well. Photoirradiation to blood vessels through the skin surface cleaved the linker to release the boron drug in the blood, allowing for its rapid clearance from the bloodstream. Meanwhile, the boron concentration in the tumor which was not photoirradiated could be maintained high, permitting strong BNCT effects. In clinical BNCT, the dose of thermal neutrons to solid tumors is determined by the maximum radiation exposure to normal organs. Thus, our polymer-drug conjugate may enable us to increase the therapeutic radiation dose to tumors in such a practical situation.

Abstract
This "Magnum Opus" accentuates my lifelong belief that the future of science is in the interdisciplinary approach to hypotheses formulation and problem solving. Inspired by the invention of hydrogels and soft contact lenses by my mentors, my six decades of research have continuously proceeded from the synthesis of biocompatible hydrogels to the development of polymer-drug conjugates, then generation of drug-free macromolecular therapeutics (DFMT) and finally to multi-antigen T cell hybridizers (MATCH). This interdisciplinary journey was inspiring; the lifetime feeling that one is a beginner in some aspects of the research is a driving force that keeps the enthusiasm high. Also, I wanted to illustrate that systematic research in one wide area can be a life-time effort without the need to jump to areas that are temporarily en-vogue. In addition to generating general scientific knowledge, hydrogels from my laboratory have been transferred to the clinic, polymer-drug conjugates to clinical trials, and drug-free macromolecular systems have an excellent potential for personalizing patient therapies. There is a limit to life but no limit to imagination. I anticipate that systematic basic research will contribute to the expansion of our knowledge and create a foundation for the design of new paradigms based on the comprehension of mechanisms of physiological processes. The emerging novel platform technologies in biomaterial-based devices and implants as well as in personalized nanomedicines will ultimately impact clinical practice.

Abstract
Stimuli responsive delivery systems, also known as smart/intelligent drug delivery systems, are specialized delivery vehicles designed to provide spatiotemporal control over drug release at target sites in various diseased conditions, including tumor, inflammation and many others. Recent advances in the design and development of a wide variety of stimuli-responsive (pH, redox, enzyme, temperature) materials have resulted in their widespread use in drug delivery and tissue engineering. The aim of this review is to provide an insight of recent nanoparticulate drug delivery systems including polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, lipid-based nanoparticles and the design of new polymer-drug conjugates (PDCs), with a major emphasis on natural along with synthetic commercial polymers used in their construction. Special focus has been placed on stimuli-responsive polymeric materials, their preparation methods, and the design of novel single and multiple stimuli-responsive materials that can provide controlled drug release in response a specific stimulus. These stimuli-sensitive drug nanoparticulate systems have exhibited varying degrees of substitution with enhanced in vitro/in vivo release. However, in an attempt to further increase drug release, new dual and multi-stimuli based natural polymeric nanocarriers have been investigated which respond to a mixture of two or more signals and are awaiting clinical trials. The translation of biopolymeric directed stimuli-sensitive drug delivery systems in clinic demands a thorough knowledge of its mechanism and drug release pattern in order to produce affordable and patient friendly products.

Abstract
When amphiphilic polar dyes were added to the cells, they intercalated predominantly in the outer leaf of the plasma membrane, making them active for second harmonic generation (SHG). The fluorescence of the dye enabled simultaneous 3D imaging of SHG and two-photon excited fluorescence (TPF). Because SHG intensity is sensitive to the alignment of the dyes, which reflects lipid ordering in the plasma membrane, we assessed the difference in lipid ordering by comparing the SHG intensity normalized to the TPF intensity. Together with an enzyme release assay that detects pore formation in the plasma membrane, our SHG assay revealed how polycations affect lipid ordering at low concentrations, where membrane damage has not yet been examined. By scaling the results of the assays with the charge concentration of the two polycations, polyethylenimine (PEI) and poly-l-lysine (PLL), we found that PEI reduced the lipid order more than PLL, and PLL formed more pores than PEI. A comparison of the SHG and TPF images of the wounded cells revealed that one of the lipid dynamics (flip-flop) was significantly enhanced in the bleb membrane. Moreover, the SHG assay indicated that the biocompatible polymer, poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide), did not affect the lipid order. Thus, our technique allows the assessment of the plasma membrane structure at the molecular level.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymer-based therapeutics have recently become essential drug delivery biomaterials for various bioactive compounds. Biodegradable and biocompatible polymer-based biomaterials fulfill the requirements of these therapeutics because they enable to obtain polymer biomaterials with optimized blood circulation, pharmacokinetics, biodegradability, and renal excretion. Herein, we describe an adaptable polymerization platform employed for the synthesis of long-circulating, stimulus-sensitive and biodegradable biomaterials, therapeutics, or theranostics. Four chain transfer agents (CTA) were designed and successfully synthesized for the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization, allowing the straightforward synthesis of hydrolytically biodegradable structures of block copolymers-based biomaterials. The controlled polymerization using the CTAs enables controlling the half-life of the hydrolytic degradation of polymer precursors in a wide range from 5 h to 21 days. Moreover, the antitumor drug pirarubicin (THP) was successfully conjugated to the polymer biomaterials via a pH-sensitive hydrazone bond for in vitro and in vivo experiments. Polymer conjugates demonstrated superior antitumor efficacy compared to basic linear polymer-based conjugates. Notably, the biodegradable systems, even though those with degradation in the order of hours were selected, increased the half-life of THP in the bloodstream almost two-fold. Indeed, the presented platform design enables the main chain-end specific attachment of targeting ligands or diagnostic molecules. The adaptable polymerization platform design allows tuning of the biodegradability rate, stimuli-sensitive drug bonding, and optimized pharmacokinetics to increase the therapy outcome and system targeting, thus allowing the preparation of targeted or theranostic polymer conjugates. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biodegradable and biocompatible polymer-based biomaterials are recognized as potential future bioactive nanomedicines. To advance the development of such biomaterials, we developed polymerization platforms utilizing tailored chain transfer agents allowing the straightforward synthesis of hydrolytically degradable polymer biomaterials with tuned biodegradability from hours to several days. The platform allows for the synthesis of long-circulating, stimulus-sensitive and biodegradable biomaterial serving as drug carriers or theranostics. The therapeutic potential was validated by preparation of polymer biomaterials containing pirarubicin, anticancer drug, bound via pH sensitive bond and by showing prolonged blood circulation and increased antitumor activity while keeping the drug side effects low. This work paves the way for future development of biodegradable polymer biomaterials with advanced properties in drug delivery.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is a highly lethal disease that affects women. Early diagnosis and treatment of women with early-stage disease improve the probability of survival. Unfortunately, the majority of women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed at advanced stages 3 and 4 which makes treatment challenging. While the majority of the patients respond to first-line treatment, i.e. cytoreductive surgery integrated with platinum-based chemotherapy, the rate of disease recurrence is very high and the available treatment options for recurrent disease are not curative. Thus, there is a need for more effective treatment options for ovarian cancer. Targeted drug conjugate systems have emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ovarian cancer. These systems provide the opportunity to selectively deliver highly potent chemotherapeutic drugs to ovarian cancer, sparing healthy normal cells. Thus, the effectiveness of the drugs is improved and systemic toxicity is greatly reduced. In this review, different targeted drug conjugate systems that have been or are being developed for the treatment of ovarian cancer will be discussed.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common form of primary malignant bone cancer in adolescents. Over the years, OS prognosis has greatly improved due to adjuvant and neoadjuvant (preoperative) chemotherapeutic treatment, increasing the chances of successful surgery and reducing the need for limb amputation. However, chemotherapeutic treatment to treat OS is limited by off-target toxicities and requires improved localization at the tumor site. Collagen, the main constituent of bone tissue, is extensively degraded and remodeled in OS, leading to an increased availability of denatured (monomeric) collagen. Collagen hybridizing peptides (CHPs) comprise a class of peptides rationally designed to selectively bind to denatured collagen. In this work, we have conjugated CHPs as targeting moieties to water-soluble N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymers to target OS tumors. We demonstrated increased accumulation of collagen-targeted HPMA copolymer-CHP conjugates compared to nontargeted HPMA copolymers, as well as increased retention compared to both nontargeted copolymers and CHPs, in a murine intratibial OS tumor model. Furthermore, we used microcomputed tomography analysis to evaluate the bone microarchitecture and correlated bone morphometric parameters (porosity, bone volume, and surface area) with maximum accumulation (Smax) and accumulation at 168 h postinjection (S168) of the copolymers at the tumor. Our results provide the foundation for the use of HPMA copolymer-CHP conjugates as targeted drug delivery systems in OS tumors.

Abstract
Polymer-drug conjugates (PDCs) fabricated as nanoparticles have hogged the limelight in cancer theranostics in the past decade. Many researchers have devoted to developing novel and efficient polymeric drug delivery system since the first generation of poly(N-[2-hydroxypropyl]methacrylamide) copolymer-drug conjugates. However, none of them has been approved for chemotherapy in clinic. An ideal PDC nanoparticle for cancer theranostics should possess several properties, including prolonged circulation in blood, sufficient accumulation and internalization in tumors, and efficient drug release in target sites. To achieve these goals, it is important to rationally design the nanoparticulate PDCs based on circulation, accumulation, penetration, internalization, and drug release (CAPIR) cascade. Specifically, CAPIR cascades are divided into five steps: (1) circulation in the vascular compartment without burst release, (2) accumulation in tumors via enhanced permeability and retention effect, (3) subsequent penetration into the deep regions of tumors, (4) internalization into tumor cells, and (5) release of drugs as free molecules to exert their pharmacological effects. In this review, we focus on the development and novel approaches of nanoparticulate PDCs based on CAPIR cascade, and provide an outlook on future clinical application. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is dynamically involved in many aspects of cell growth and survival, and it plays an active role in cancer etiology. In comparison to healthy ECM, tumor associated ECM shows high collagen deposition and remodeling activity, which results in an increased amount of denatured collagen strands in tumor tissues. Capitalizing on this distinguishing feature, we developed tumor-localizing polymeric carriers that selectively bind to denatured collagen in the tumor ECM. We synthesized N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymers with their side chains conjugated to collagen hybridizing peptides (CHPs). HPMA copolymer-CHP conjugates exhibited selective affinity to denatured collagen and localized to tumors in an orthotopic MDA-MB-231 murine breast cancer model. The conjugates had increased tumor localization compared to copolymers with scrambled peptides in the side chains, as well as increased retention compared to free CHPs. Such conjugates show promise as carriers for ECM-acting drugs and imaging agents in the management of diseases characterized by high ECM remodeling activity.

Abstract
Several human host proteins play important roles in the lifecycle of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Many drugs targeting these host proteins have been investigated as potential therapeutics for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The tissue-specific expressions of selected host proteins were summarized using proteomics data retrieved from the Human Protein Atlas, ProteomicsDB, Human Proteome Map databases, and a clinical COVID-19 study. Protein expression features in different cell lines were summarized based on recent proteomics studies. The half-maximal effective concentration or half-maximal inhibitory concentration values were collected from in vitro studies. The pharmacokinetic data were mainly from studies in healthy subjects or non-COVID-19 patients. Considerable tissue-specific expression patterns were observed for several host proteins. ACE2 expression in the lungs was significantly lower than in many other tissues (e.g., the kidneys and intestines); TMPRSS2 expression in the lungs was significantly lower than in other tissues (e.g., the prostate and intestines). The expression levels of endocytosis-associated proteins CTSL, CLTC, NPC1, and PIKfyve in the lungs were comparable to or higher than most other tissues. TMPRSS2 expression was markedly different between cell lines, which could be associated with the cell-dependent antiviral activities of several drugs. Drug delivery receptor ICAM1 and CTSB were expressed at a higher level in the lungs than in other tissues. In conclusion, the cell- and tissue-specific proteomics data could help interpret the in vitro antiviral activities of host-directed drugs in various cells and aid the transition of the in vitro findings to clinical research to develop safe and effective therapeutics for COVID-19.

Abstract
The field of biodegradable synthetic polymers, which is central for regenerative engineering and drug delivery applications, encompasses a multitude of hydrolytically sensitive macromolecular structures and diverse processing approaches. The ideal degradation behavior for a specific life science application must comply with a set of requirements, which include a clinically relevant kinetic profile, adequate biocompatibility, benign degradation products, and controlled structural evolution. Although significant advances have been made in tailoring materials characteristics to satisfy these requirements, the impacts of autocatalytic reactions and microenvironments are often overlooked resulting in uncontrollable and unpredictable outcomes. Therefore, roles of surface versus bulk erosion, in situ microenvironment, and autocatalytic mechanisms should be understood to enable rational design of degradable systems. In an attempt to individually evaluate the physical state and form factors influencing autocatalytic hydrolysis of degradable polymers, this Review follows a hierarchical analysis that starts with hydrolytic degradation of water-soluble polymers before building up to 2D-like materials, such as ultrathin coatings and capsules, and then to solid-state degradation. We argue that chemical reactivity largely governs solution degradation while diffusivity and geometry control the degradation of bulk materials, with thin "2D" materials remaining largely unexplored. Following this classification, this Review explores techniques to analyze degradation in vitro and in vivo and summarizes recent advances toward understanding degradation behavior for traditional and innovative polymer systems. Finally, we highlight challenges encountered in analytical methodology and standardization of results and provide perspective on the future trends in the development of biodegradable polymers.

Abstract
The goal of this article was to develop a new therapeutic strategy based on nanotechnology for multiple myeloma (MM) treatment which shows a synergism of different mechanisms. In this concern, 12.9 nm-sized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared and functionalized with Isatuximab, anti-MM monoclonal antibody (mAb). Furthermore, the synthesized nanocomposite was radiolabelled with iodine-131 radionuclide and yielded 95.5 ± 1.5%. Then, the synergistic MM-proliferation inhibition efficacy of the radionanocomposite (131I-Isatuximab/AgNPs) was explored in-vitro in comparison to each single agent. The MTT investigation showed that the antiproliferation effect of 131I-Isatuximab/AgNPs increased by more than 1.5 fold if compared with Isatuximab, AgNPs, Isatuximab/AgNPs or 131I-Isatuximab. Additionally, 131I-Isatuximab/AgNPs exhibited an apoptotic effect on MM cells which was more than that of Isatuximab, AgNPs, Isatuximab/AgNPs or 131I-Isatuximab by 2, 1.8, 1.7 and 1.5 folds, respectively. In conclusion, the results expressed 131I-Isatuximab/AgNPs as a potential new anti-MM agent.

Abstract
Malignant tumor remains a huge threat to human health and chemotherapy still occupies an important place in clinical tumor treatment. As a kind of potent antimitotic agent, taxanes act as the first-line broad-spectrum cancer drug in clinical use. However, disadvantages such as prominent hydrophobicity, severe off-target toxicity or multidrug resistance lead to unsatisfactory therapeutic effects, which restricts its wider usage. The efficient delivery of taxanes is still quite a challenge despite the rapid developments in biomaterials and nanotechnology. Great progress has been made in prodrug-based nanomedicines (PNS) for cancer therapy due to their outstanding advantages such as high drug loading efficiency, low carrier induced immunogenicity, tumor stimuli-responsive drug release, combinational therapy and so on. Based on the numerous developments in this filed, this review summarized latest updates of taxanes prodrugs-based nanomedicines (TPNS), focusing on polymer-drug conjugate-based nanoformulations, small molecular prodrug-based self-assembled nanoparticles and prodrug-encapsulated nanosystems. In addition, the new trends of tumor stimuli-responsive TPNS were also discussed. Moreover, the future challenges of TPNS for clinical translation were highlighted. We here expect this review will inspire researchers to explore more practical taxanes prodrug-based nano-delivery systems for clinical use.

Abstract
Adagen, an enzyme replacement treatment for adenosine deaminase deficiency, was the first protein-polymer conjugate to be approved in early 1990s. Post this regulatory approval, numerous polymeric drugs and polymeric nanoparticles have entered the market as advanced or next-generation polymer-based therapeutics, while many others have currently been tested clinically. The polymer conjugation to therapeutic moiety offers several advantages, like enhanced solubilization of drug, controlled release, reduced immunogenicity, and prolonged circulation. The present review intends to highlight considerations in the design of therapeutically effective polymer-drug conjugates (PDCs), including the choice of linker chemistry. The potential synthetic strategies to formulate PDCs have been discussed along with recent advancements in the different types of PDCs, i.e., polymer-small molecular weight drug conjugates, polymer-protein conjugates, and stimuli-responsive PDCs, which are under clinical/preclinical investigation. Current impediments and regulatory hurdles hindering the clinical translation of PDC into effective therapeutic regimens for the amelioration of disease conditions have been addressed.

Abstract
Hyperbranched polymers have many promising features for drug delivery, owing to their ease of synthesis, multiple functional group content, and potential for high drug loading with retention of solubility. Here we prepared hyperbranched N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) polymers with a range of molar masses and particle sizes, and with attached dyes, radiolabel or the anticancer drug gemcitabine. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerisation enabled the synthesis of pHPMA polymers and a gemcitabine-comonomer functionalised pHPMA polymer pro-drug, with diameters of the polymer particles ranging from 7-40 nm. The non-drug loaded polymers were well-tolerated in cancer cell lines and macrophages, and were rapidly internalised in 2D cell culture and transported efficiently to the centre of dense pancreatic cancer 3D spheroids. The gemcitabine-loaded polymer pro-drug was found to be toxic both to 2D cultures of MIA PaCa-2 cells and also in reducing the volume of MIA PaCa-2 spheroids. The non-drug loaded polymers caused no short-term adverse effects in healthy mice following systemic injection, and derivatives of these polymers labelled with 89Zr-were tracked for their distribution in the organs of healthy and MIA PaCa-2 xenograft bearing Balb/c nude mice. Tumour accumulation, although variable across the samples, was highest in individual animals for the pHPMA polymer of ∼20 nm size, and accordingly a gemcitabine pHPMA polymer pro-drug of ∼18 nm diameter was evaluated for efficacy in the tumour-bearing animals. The efficacy of the pHPMA polymer pro-drug was very similar to that of free gemcitabine in terms of tumour growth retardation, and although there was a survival benefit after 70 days for the polymer pro-drug, there was no difference at day 80. These data suggest that while polymer pro-drugs of this type can be effective, better tumour targeting and enhanced in situ release remain as key obstacles to clinical translation even for relatively simple polymers such as pHPMA.

Abstract
B cells play multiple roles in immune responses related to autoimmune diseases as well as different types of cancers. As such, strategies focused on B cell targeting attracted wide interest and developed intensively. There are several common mechanisms various B cell targeting therapies have relied on, including direct B cell depletion, modulation of B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling, targeting B cell survival factors, targeting the B cell and T cell costimulation, and immune checkpoint blockade. Nanocarriers, used as drug delivery vehicles, possess numerous advantages to low molecular weight drugs, reducing drug toxicity, enhancing blood circulation time, as well as augmenting targeting efficacy and improving therapeutic effect. Herein, we review the commonly used targets involved in B cell targeting approaches and the utilization of various nanocarriers as B cell-targeted delivery vehicles. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: As B cells are engaged significantly in the development of many kinds of diseases, utilization of nanomedicines in B cell depletion therapies have been rapidly developed. Although numerous studies focused on B cell targeting have already been done, there are still various potential receptors awaiting further investigation. This review summarizes the most relevant studies that utilized nanotechnologies associated with different B cell depletion approaches, providing a useful tool for selection of receptors, agents and/or nanocarriers matching specific diseases. Along with uncovering new targets in the function map of B cells, there will be a growing number of candidates that can benefit from nanoscale drug delivery.

Abstract
The concept of multivalency finds various applications in the fields of chemistry and biology, relying on the principle that multiple weak interactions can lead to strong adhesive forces. Polymeric carriers are promising tools to translate these properties into the field of biomedicine, especially upon functionalization by active biomolecules, such as antibodies. In this study we report on the synthesis of dendritic polyglycerol (dPG) and dPG-based nanogels (NGs) as platforms for the multivalent display of molecules and their potential application as carrier units. Macromolecules based on dPG were synthesized and NGs were generated by strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) by inverse nanoprecipitation under mild conditions. Scale-up screening rendered a reproducible method for a batch size of up to 50 mg for the formation of NGs in a size range of 150 nm with narrow dispersity. Dye-labelled bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) was chosen as a model protein and showed successful conjugation to the carriers, while the protein's secondary structure was not affected. Consequently, cyanine-5-amine (Cy5-NH2) and avidin (Av) were conjugated in order to exploit the strong avidin-biotin interaction, facilitating the directed attachment of a myriad of biotinylated (bio)molecules. As a proof-of-concept, the biotinylated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) α-CD3 and α-CD28 were attached to the platforms and their capability to activate T cells was assessed. Experiments were performed with a Jurkat reporter cell line which expresses green fluorescent protein (GFP) upon activation, providing a rapid and reliable readout by flow cytometry. Carriers clearly outperformed conventional compounds for activation (i.e. antibodies crosslinked with anti-IgG antibody) at significantly lower dosages. These findings could be confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), showing accumulation of the functional nanoplatforms at the cell surface and cytoplasmic GFP expression (>95% activation of cells for the multivalent conjugates at 10 μg mL-1 compared to 37% activation with conventionally crosslinked mAbs at 25 μg mL-1), whereas carriers without mAbs could not activate cells. As the attachment of biotinylated molecules to the functional nanoplatforms is straightforward, the results obtained show the great potential of our platforms for a broad range of applications.

Abstract
Intra-articular (IA) glucocorticoids (GC) are commonly used for clinical management of both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but their efficacy is limited by the relatively short duration of action and associated side effects. To provide sustained efficacy and to improve the safety of GCs, we previously developed a N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer-based dexamethasone (Dex) prodrug. Serendipitously, we discovered that, by increasing the Dex content of the prodrug to unusually high levels, the aqueous solution of the polymeric prodrug becomes thermoresponsive, transitioning from a free-flowing liquid at 4 °C to a hydrogel at 30 °C or greater. Upon IA injection, the prodrug solution forms a hydrogel (ProGel-Dex) that is retained in the joint for more than 1 month, where it undergoes gradual dissolution, releasing the water-soluble polymeric prodrug. The released prodrug is swiftly internalized and intracellularly processed by phagocytic synoviocytes to release free Dex, resulting in sustained amelioration of joint inflammation and pain in rodent models of inflammatory arthritis and osteoarthritis. The low molecular weight (6.8 kDa) of the ProGel-Dex ensures rapid renal clearance once it escapes the joint, limiting systemic GC exposure and risk of potential off-target side effects. The present study illustrates the translational potential of ProGel-Dex as a potent opioid-sparing, locally delivered adjuvant analgesic for sustained clinical management of arthritis pain and inflammation. Importantly, the observed thermoresponsive properties of the prodrug establishes ProGel as a platform technology for the local delivery of a broad spectrum of therapeutic agents to treat a diverse array of pathological conditions.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the primary causes of worldwide human deaths. Most cancer patients receive chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but these treatments are usually only partially efficacious and lead to a variety of serious side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new therapeutic strategies. The emergence of nanotechnology has had a profound impact on general clinical treatment. The application of nanotechnology has facilitated the development of nano-drug delivery systems (NDDSs) that are highly tumor selective and allow for the slow release of active anticancer drugs. In recent years, vehicles such as liposomes, dendrimers and polymer nanomaterials have been considered promising carriers for tumor-specific drug delivery, reducing toxicity and improving biocompatibility. Among them, polymer nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the most innovative methods of non-invasive drug delivery. Here, we review the application of polymer NPs in drug delivery, gene therapy, and early diagnostics for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Synthetic chemotherapeutics have played a crucial role in minimizing mostly palliative symptoms associated with cancer; however, they have also created other problems such as system toxicity due to a lack of specificity. This has led to the development of polymer-drug conjugates amongst other novel drug delivery systems. Most of the formulations designed using delivery systems consist of synthetic drugs and face issues such as drug resistance, which has already rendered drugs such as antibiotics ineffective. This is further exacerbated by toxicity due to long term use. Given these problems and the fact that conjugation of synthetic compounds to polymers has been relatively slow with no formulation on the market after a decade of extensive studies, the focus has shifted to using this platform with medicinal plant extracts to improve solubility, specificity and increase drug release of medicinal and herbal bioactives. In recent years, various plant extracts such as flavonoids, tannins and terpenoids have been studied extensively using this approach. The success of formulations developed using novel drug-delivery systems is highly dependent on the tumour microenvironment especially on the enhanced permeability and retention effect. As a result, the compromised lymphatic network and 'leaky' vasculature exhibited by tumour cells act as a guiding principle in the delivering of these formulations. This review focuses on the state of the polymer-drug conjugates and their exploration with natural compounds, the progress and difficulties thus far, and future directions concerning cancer treatment.

J Control Release 2021; 332:652-659. [PMID: 33607175 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2021.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2020] [Revised: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized the treatment of tumors with immunogenic microenvironments. However, low response rate and acquired resistance are still major challenges. Herein we used a more clinically relevant model of transgenic MMTV-PyMT tumor that more closely mimics the development of human breast cancer in an immunocompetent background to investigate a polymer-based chemo-immunotherapy. We have found that tumors acquired an increased degree of immune suppression during progression, rendering them unresponsive to anti-PD-L1 therapy. To treat large tumors at their advanced stage, we applied a combination strategy consisting of two polymer-drug conjugates that could induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) and disrupt the PD-L1/PD-1 interaction, respectively. Although ICD-inducing conjugate remodeled tumor immune microenvironment by facilitating significant CD8+ T cell infiltration, advanced tumor adapted the immune suppressive mechanism of elevating PD-L1 expression on both cancer cells and myeloid cells thereafter to enable continued tumor growth. Concurrent treatment of PD-L1 blocking conjugate not only abrogated the PD-L1 expression from the two disparate cellular sources, but also considerably reduced the number of immunosuppressive myeloid cells, thereby leading to a significant shrinkage of advanced tumors. Our data provide evidence that combinatory strategy of ICD-inducing and PD-L-blocking modalities could reverse immune suppression and establish a basis for the rational design of cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Materials that respond to endogenous stimuli are being leveraged to enhance spatiotemporal control in a range of biomedical applications from drug delivery to diagnostic tools. The design of materials that undergo morphological or chemical changes in response to specific biological cues or pathologies will be an important area of research for improving efficacies of existing therapies and imaging agents, while also being promising for developing personalized theranostic systems. Internal stimuli-responsive systems can be engineered across length scales from nanometers to macroscopic and can respond to endogenous signals such as enzymes, pH, glucose, ATP, hypoxia, redox signals, and nucleic acids by incorporating synthetic bio-inspired moieties or natural building blocks. This Review will summarize response mechanisms and fabrication strategies used in internal stimuli-responsive materials with a focus on drug delivery and imaging for a broad range of pathologies, including cancer, diabetes, vascular disorders, inflammation, and microbial infections. We will also discuss observed challenges, future research directions, and clinical translation aspects of these responsive materials.

Abstract
Patients with advanced prostate cancer can develop painful and debilitating bone metastases. Currently available interventions for prostate cancer bone metastases, including chemotherapy, bisphosphonates, and radiopharmaceuticals, are only palliative. They can relieve pain, reduce complications (e.g., bone fractures), and improve quality of life, but they do not significantly improve survival times. Therefore, additional strategies to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer bone metastases are needed. Nanotechnology is a versatile platform that has been used to increase the specificity and therapeutic efficacy of various treatments for prostate cancer bone metastases. In this review, we summarize preclinical research that utilizes nanotechnology to develop novel diagnostic imaging tools, translational models, and therapies to combat prostate cancer bone metastases.

Structure-to-Efficacy Relationship of HPMA-Based Nanomedicines: The Tumor Spheroid Penetration Study. Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:pharmaceutics12121242.

Abstract
Nanomedicines are a novel class of therapeutics that benefit from the nano dimensions of the drug carrier. These nanosystems are highly advantageous mainly within cancer treatment due to their enhanced tumor accumulation. Monolayer tumor cells frequently used in routine preclinical assessment of nanotherapeutics do not have a spatial structural architecture that allows the investigation of the penetration of nanomedicines to predict their behavior in real tumor tissue. Therefore, tumor spheroids from colon carcinoma C26 cells and glioblastoma U87-MG cells were used as 3D in vitro models to analyze the effect of the inner structure, hydrodynamic size, dispersity, and biodegradability of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer-based nanomedicines carrying anticancer drug pirarubicin (THP) on the penetration within spheroids. While almost identical penetration through spheroids of linear and star-like copolymers and also their conjugates with THP was observed, THP penetration after nanomedicines application was considerably deeper than for the free THP, thus proving the benefit of polymer carriers. The cytotoxicity of THP-polymer nanomedicines against tumor cell spheroids was almost identical as for the free THP, whereas the 2D cell cytotoxicity of these nanomedicines is usually lower. The nanomedicines thus proved the enhanced efficacy within the more realistic 3D tumor cell spheroid system.

Abstract
To avoid poly(ethylene glycol)-related issues of nanomedicines such as accelerated blood clearance, fully N-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylamide (HPMAm)-based polymeric micelles decorated with biotin for drug delivery were designed. To this end, a biotin-functionalized chain transfer agent (CTA), 4-cyano-4-[(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl)-sulfanyl]pentanoic acid (biotin-CDTPA), was synthesized for reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Amphiphilic poly(N-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylamide)-block-poly(N-2-benzoyloxypropyl methacrylamide) (p(HPMAm)-b-p(HPMAm-Bz)) with molecular weights ranging from 8 to 24 kDa were synthesized using CDTPA or biotin-CDTPA as CTA and 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) as initiator. The copolymers self-assembled in aqueous media into micelles with sizes of 40-90 nm which positively correlated to the chain length of the hydrophobic block in the polymers, whereas the critical micelle concentrations decreased with increasing hydrophobic block length. The polymer with a molecular weight of 22.1 kDa was used to prepare paclitaxel-loaded micelles which had sizes between 61 and 70 nm, and a maximum loading capacity of around 10 wt%. A549 lung cancer cells overexpressing the biotin receptor, internalized the biotin-decorated micelles more efficiently than non-targeted micelles, while very low internalization of both types of micelles by HEK293 human embryonic kidney cells lacking the biotin receptor was observed. As a consequence, the paclitaxel-loaded micelles with biotin decoration exhibited stronger cytotoxicity in A549 cells than non-targeted micelles. Overall, a synthetic pathway to obtain actively targeted poly(ethylene glycol)-free micelles fully based on a poly(HPMAm) backbone was established. These polymeric micelles are promising systems for the delivery of hydrophobic anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Precision polymers as advanced nanomedicines represent an appealing approach for the treatment of otherwise untreatable malignancies. By taking advantage of unique nanomaterial properties and implementing judicious design strategies, polymeric nanomedicines are able to be produced that overcome many barriers to effective treatment. Current key research focus areas anticipated to produce the greatest impact in polymer applications in nanomedicine for oncology include new strategies to achieve "active" targeting, polymeric pro-drug activation, and combinatorial polymer drug delivery approaches in combination with enhanced understanding of complex bio-nano interactions. These approaches, both in isolation or combination, form the next generation of precision nanomedicines with significant anticipated future health outcomes. Of necessity, these approaches will combine an intimate understanding of biological interactions with advanced materials design. This perspectives piece aims to highlight emerging opportunities that promise to be game changers in the nanomedicine oncology field. Discussed herein are current and next generation polymeric nanomedicines with a focus towards structures that are, or could, undergo clinical translation as well as highlight key advances in the field.

Abstract
Polymer nanomedicines (macromolecular therapeutics, polymer-drug conjugates, drug-free macromolecular therapeutics) are a group of biologically active compounds that are characterized by their large molecular weight. This review focuses on bioconjugates of water-soluble macromolecules with low molecular weight drugs and selected proteins. After analyzing the design principles, different structures of polymer carriers are discussed followed by the examination of the efficacy of the conjugates in animal models and challenges for their translation into the clinic. Two innovative directions in macromolecular therapeutics that depend on receptor crosslinking are highlighted: a) Combination chemotherapy of backbone degradable polymer-drug conjugates with immune checkpoint blockade by multivalent polymer peptide antagonists; and b) Drug-free macromolecular therapeutics, a new paradigm in drug delivery.

Abstract
Poly(2-oxazoline)s represent an emerging class of polymers with increasing potential in biomedical sciences. To date, most of the work on poly(2-oxazoline)-drug conjugates focused on poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEtOx), a biocompatible water-soluble polymer with biological properties similar to polyethylene glycol. However, the more hydrophilic poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMeOx) shows better anti-fouling properties than PEtOx and thus indicates greater potential for the construction of polymer therapeutics. Herein, we synthesized for the first time a drug delivery system based on a linear PMeOx with a molar mass that is high enough (40 kDa) to exploit passive accumulation in the tumor by the enhanced permeation and retention effect. The anti-cancer drug doxorubicin is attached to the polymer carrier via an acid-sensitive hydrazone bond, which allows its pH-triggered release in the tumor. The in vitro study demonstrates successful cellular uptake of the PMeOx-doxorubicin conjugate via clathrin-mediated endocytosis, pH-sensitive drug release and high cytotoxicity against B16 melanoma cells. Finally, these properties were critically compared to the analogous systems based on the established PEtOx revealing that the more hydrophilic PMeOx carrier outperforms PEtOx in most of the parameters, showing higher maximal drug loading, superior cellular uptake, better anti-fouling properties, as well as improved in vitro anti-cancer efficiency. The study demonstrates the potential of PMeOx as a versatile platform for synthesis of new drug delivery systems.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis of hydrophilic poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PmPEGMA) and hydrophobic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) caspofungin conjugates by a post-polymerization modification of copolymers containing 10 mol % pentafluorophenyl methacrylate (PFPMA), which were obtained via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer copolymerization. The coupling of the clinically used antifungal caspofungin was confirmed and quantified in detail by a combination of 1H-, 19F- and diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and size exclusion chromatography. The trifunctional amine-containing antifungal was attached via several amide bonds to the hydrophobic PMMA, but sterical hindrance induced by the mPEGMA side chains prohibited intramolecular double functionalization. Both polymer-drug conjugates revealed activity against important human-pathogenic fungi, that is, two strains of Aspergillus fumigatus and one strain of Candida albicans (2.5 mg L-1 < MEC < 8 mg L-1, MIC50 = 4 mg L-1), whereas RAW 264.7 macrophages as well as HeLa cells remained unaffected at these concentrations.

Abstract
Polymer therapeutics has gained prominence due to an attractive structural polymer chemistry and its applications in diseases therapy. In this review, we discussed the development and capabilities of N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) and HPMA-drug conjugates in cancer therapy. The design, architecture, and structural properties of HPMA make it a versatile system for the synthesis of polymeric conjugations for biomedical applications. Research suggests that HPMA could be a possible alternative for polymers such polyethylene glycol (PEG) in biomedical applications. Although numerous clinical trials of HPMA-drug conjugates are ongoing, yet no product has been successfully brought to the market. Thus, further research is required to develop HPMA-drug conjugates as successful cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Polymers in which phosphorus is an integral part of the main chain, including polyphosphazenes and polyphosphoesters, have been widely investigated in recent years for their potential in a number of therapeutic applications. Phosphorus, as the central feature of these polymers, endears the chemical functionalization, and in some cases (bio)degradability, to facilitate their use in such therapeutic formulations. Recent advances in the synthetic polymer chemistry have allowed for controlled synthesis methods in order to prepare the complex macromolecular structures required, alongside the control and reproducibility desired for such medical applications. While the main polymer families described herein, polyphosphazenes and polyphosphoesters and their analogues, as well as phosphorus-based dendrimers, have hitherto predominantly been investigated in isolation from one another, this review aims to highlight and bring together some of this research. In doing so, the focus is placed on the essential, and often mutual, design features and structure-property relationships that allow the preparation of such functional materials. The first part of the review details the relevant features of phosphorus-containing polymers in respect to their use in therapeutic applications, while the second part highlights some recent and innovative applications, offering insights into the most state-of-the-art research on phosphorus-based polymers in a therapeutic context.

Abstract
Checkpoint blockade immunotherapies harness the host's own immune system to fight cancer, but only work against tumors infiltrated by swarms of pre-existing T cells. Unfortunately, most cancers to date are immune-deserted. Here, we report a polymer-assisted combination of immunogenic chemotherapy and PD-L1 degradation for efficacious treatment in originally non-immunogenic cancer. "Priming" tumors with backbone-degradable polymer-epirubicin conjugates elicits immunogenic cell death and fosters tumor-specific CD8+ T cell response. Sequential treatment with a multivalent polymer-peptide antagonist to PD-L1 overcomes adaptive PD-L1 enrichment following chemotherapy, biases the recycling of PD-L1 to lysosome degradation via surface receptor crosslinking, and produces prolonged elimination of PD-L1 rather than the transient blocking afforded by standard anti-PD-L1 antibodies. Together, these findings established the polymer-facilitated tumor targeting of immunogenic drugs and surface crosslinking of PD-L1 as a potential new therapeutic strategy to propagate a long-term antitumor immunity, which might broaden the application of immunotherapy to immunosuppressive cancers.

Multivalent HER2-binding polymer conjugates facilitate rapid endocytosis and enhance intracellular drug delivery. J Control Release 2019; 319:285-299.

Abstract
Incorporating targeting moieties that recognize cancer-specific cellular markers can enhance specificity of anticancer nanomedicines. The HER2 receptor is overexpressed on numerous cancers, making it an attractive target. However, unlike many receptors that trigger endocytosis upon ligand binding, HER2 is an internalization-resistant receptor. As most chemotherapeutics act on intracellular targets, this presents a significant challenge for exploiting HER2 overexpression for improved tumor killing. However, hyper-crosslinking of HER2 has been shown to override the receptor's native behavior and trigger internalization. This research co-opts this crosslinking-mediated internalization for efficient intracellular delivery of an anticancer nanomedicine - specifically a HPMA copolymer-based drug delivery system. This polymeric carrier was conjugated with a small (7 kDa) HER2-binding affibody peptide to produce a panel of polymer-affibody conjugates with valences from 2 to 10 peptides per polymer chain. The effect of valence on surface binding and uptake was evaluated separately. All conjugates demonstrated similar (nanomolar) binding affinity towards HER2-positive ovarian carcinoma cells, but higher-valence conjugates induced more rapid endocytosis, with over 90% of the surface-bound conjugate internalized within 4 h. Furthermore, this enhancement was sensitive to crowding - high surface loading reduced conjugates' ability to crosslink receptors. Collectively, this evidence strongly supports a crosslinking-mediated endocytosis mechanism. Lead candidates from this panel achieved high intracellular delivery even at picomolar treatment concentrations; untargeted HPMA copolymers required 1000-fold higher treatment concentrations to achieve similar levels of intracellular accumulation. This increased intracellular delivery also translated to a more potent nanomedicine against HER2-positive cells; incorporation of the chemotherapeutic paclitaxel into this targeted carrier enhanced cytotoxicity over untargeted polymer-drug conjugate.

Abstract
Cathepsins are an important category of enzymes that have attracted great attention for the delivery of drugs to improve the therapeutic outcome of a broad range of nanoscale drug delivery systems. These proteases can be utilized for instance through actuation of polymer-drug conjugates (e.g., triggering the drug release) to bypass limitations of many drug candidates. A substantial amount of work has been witnessed in the design and the evaluation of Cathepsin-sensitive drug delivery systems, especially based on the tetra-peptide sequence (Gly-Phe-Leu-Gly, GFLG) which has been extensively used as a spacer that can be cleaved in the presence of Cathepsin B. This Review Article will give an in-depth overview of the design and the biological evaluation of Cathepsin-sensitive drug delivery systems and their application in different pathologies including cancer before discussing Cathepsin B-cleavable prodrugs under clinical trials.

Abstract
As a major clinical tumor chemotherapeutic burden, multidrug resistance (MDR) is often a result of up-regulation of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which strongly enhances anticancer drug efflux. The excess mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) could not only inhibit the function of P-gp through insufficient adenosine triphosphate supply but also cause apoptosis in MDR cells. Here, we designed a mitochondria targeting nanoparticulate system (GNPs-P-Dox-GA) for overcoming MDR through enhanced ROS generation, where increased cellular uptake as well as mitochondria accumulation were both realized by glycyrrhetinic acid (GA). First, doxorubicin was conjugated with GA (GA-Dox) and then grafted onto a N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer backbone via hydrazone bond (P-Dox-GA). The obtained P-Dox-GA was subsequently attached to the surface of gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs). As gelatin is a substrate of tumor extracellular metal matrix protease-2 (MMP2), GNPs-P-Dox-GA nanoparticles could be degraded and release small size P-Dox-GA to facilitate tumor tissue penetration. After P-Dox-GA internalized by tumor cells under GA mediation, Dox-GA detached from HPMA copolymer through hydrolysis of hydrazone bond and then efficiently delivered to mitochondria. Compared to non-GA modified carriers, GNPs-P-Dox-GA exhibited increased cellular uptake nearly 4-fold and mitochondria distribution 8.8-fold, and increased ROS production level nearly 3-fold, significantly decreased efflux rate (55% compared with Dox group) in drug resistant HepG2/ADR cells, and then led to improved in vitro antitumor efficiency in HepG2/ADR cells (IC50 only 19.5% of unmodified ones) as well as exciting in vivo antitumor efficiency on HepG2/ADR heterotopic tumor nude mice (1.75-fold higher tumor growth inhibition rate than free drug).

Abstract
Anthracyclines Doxorubicin, Epirubicin, Daunorubicin and Idarubicin are used to treat a variety of tumor types in the clinics, either alone or, most often, in combination therapies. While their cardiotoxicity is well known, the emergence of chemoresistance is also a major issue accounting for treatment discontinuation. Resistance to anthracyclines is associated to the acquisition of multidrug resistance conferred by overexpression of permeability glycoprotein-1 or other efflux pumps, by altered DNA repair, changes in topoisomerase II activity, cancer stemness and metabolic adaptations. This review further details the metabolic aspects of resistance to anthracyclines, emphasizing the contributions of glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway and nucleotide biosynthesis, glutathione, lipid metabolism and autophagy to the chemoresistant phenotype.

Abstract
The extracellular and subcellular compartments are characterized by specific pH levels that can be modified by pathophysiological states. This scenario encourages the use of environmentally responsive nanomedicines for the treatment of damaged cells. We have engineered doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded pH-responsive polymersomes using poly([ N-(2-hydroxypropyl)]methacrylamide)- b-poly[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate] block copolymers (PHPMA m- b-PDPA n). We demonstrate that, by taking advantage of the microfluidic technology, quasi-monodisperse assemblies can be created. This feature is of due relevance because highly uniform nanoparticles commonly exhibit more consistent biodistribution and cellular uptake. We also report that the size of the polymer vesicles can be tuned by playing with the inherent mechanical parameters of the microfluidic protocol. This new knowledge can be used to engineer size-specific nanomedicines for enhanced tumor accumulation if the manufacturing is performed with previous knowledge of tumor characteristics (particularly the degree of vascularity and porosity). The pH-dependent DOX release was further investigated evidencing the ability of polymersome to sustain encapsulated hydrophilic molecules when circulating in physiological environment (pH 7.4). This suggests nonrelevant drug leakage during systemic circulation. On the other hand, polymersome disassembly in slightly acid environments takes place enabling fast DOX release, thereby making the colloidal carriers highly cytotoxic. These features encourage the use of such advanced pH-responsive platforms to target damaged cells while preserving healthy environments during systemic circulation.

Abstract
Cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking of polymer conjugates or polymer nanoparticles is typically monitored using fluorescence-based techniques such as confocal microscopy. While these methods have provided a wealth of insight into the internalization and trafficking of polymers and polymer nanoparticles, they require fluorescent labeling of the polymer or polymer nanoparticle. Because in biological media fluorescent dyes may degrade, be cleaved from the polymer or particle, or even change uptake and trafficking pathways, there is an interest in fluorescent label-free methods to study the interactions between cells and polymer nanomedicines. This article presents a first proof-of-concept that demonstrates the feasibility of NanoSIMS to monitor the intracellular localization of polymer conjugates. For the experiments reported here, poly( N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide)) (PHPMA) was selected as a prototypical polymer-drug conjugate. This PHPMA polymer contained a 19F-label at the α-terminus, which was introduced in order to allow NanoSIMS analysis. Prior to the NanoSIMS experiments, the uptake and intracellular trafficking of the polymer was established using confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. These experiments not only provided detailed insight into the kinetics of these processes but were also important to select time points for the NanoSIMS analysis. For the NanoSIMS experiments, HeLa cells were investigated that had been exposed to the PHPMA polymer for a period of 4 or 15 h, which was known to lead to predominant lysosomal accumulation of the polymer. NanoSIMS analysis of resin-embedded and microtomed samples of the cells revealed a punctuated fluorine signal, which was found to colocalize with the sulfur signal that was attributed to the lysosomal compartments. The localization of the polymer in the endolysosomal compartments was confirmed by TEM analysis on the same cell samples. The results of this study illustrate the potential of NanoSIMS to study the uptake and intracellular trafficking of polymer nanomedicines.
