[PMID: 38335660 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103098] [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: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
The electrospray (ES) technique has proven to be an effective and a versatile approach for crafting drug delivery carriers with diverse dimensions, multiple layers, and varying morphologies. Achieving the desired particle properties necessitates careful optimization of various experimental parameters. This review delves into the most prevalent ES system configurations employed for this purpose, such as monoaxial, coaxial, triaxial, and multi-needle setups with solid or liquid collector. In addition, this work underscores the significance of ES in drug delivery carriers and its remarkable ability to encapsulate a wide spectrum of therapeutic agents, including drugs, nucleic acids, proteins, genes and cells. Depth examination of the critical parameters governing the ES process, including the choice of polymer, surface tension, voltage settings, needle size, flow rate, collector types, and the collector distance was conducted with highlighting on their implications on particle characteristics, encompassing morphology, size distribution, and drug encapsulation efficiency. These insights illuminate ES's adaptability in customizing drug delivery systems. To conclude, this review discusses ES process optimization strategies, advantages, limitations and future directions, providing valuable guidance for researchers and practitioners navigating the dynamic landscape of modern drug delivery systems.

Gelatin methacrylate hydrogel with drug-loaded polymer microspheres as a new bioink for 3D bioprinting. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 150:213436. [PMID: 37104964 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
3D bioprinted hydrogel constructs are advanced systems of a great drug delivery application potential. One of the bioinks that has recently gained a lot of attention is gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel exhibiting specific properties, including UV cross-linking possibility. The present study aimed to develop a new bioink composed of GelMA and gelatin modified by addition of polymer (polycaprolactone or polyethersulfone) microspheres serving as bioactive substance carriers. The prepared microspheres suspension in GelMA/gelatin bioink was successfully bioprinted and subjected to various tests, which showed that the addition of microspheres and their type affects the physicochemical properties of the printouts. The hydrogel stability and structure was examined using scanning electron and optical microscopy, its thermal properties with differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis and its biocompatibility on HaCaT cells using viability assay and electron microscopy. Analyses also included tests of hydrogel equilibrium swelling ratio and release of marker substance. Subsequently, the matrices were loaded with ampicillin and the antibiotic release was validated by monitoring the antibacterial activity on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It was concluded that GelMA/gelatin bioink is a good and satisfying material for potential medical use. Depending on the polymer used, the addition of microspheres improves its structure, thermal and drug delivery properties.

[PMID: 35893459 PMCID: PMC9326769 DOI: 10.3390/jfb13030091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 06/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to fabricate different anti-cancer drug-eluted chitosan microspheres for combination therapy of osteosarcoma. In this study, electrospray in combination with ground liquid nitrogen was utilized to manufacture the microspheres. The size of obtained chitosan microspheres was uniform, and the average diameter was 532 μm. The model drug release rate and biodegradation rate of chitosan microspheres could be controlled by the glutaraldehyde vapor crosslinking time. Then the 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), paclitaxel (PTX), and Cis-dichlorodiammine-platinum (CDDP) eluted chitosan microspheres were prepared, and two osteosarcoma cell lines, namely, HOS and MG-63, were selected as cell models for in vitro demonstration. We found the 5-FU microspheres, PTX microspheres, and CDDP microspheres could significantly inhibit the growth and migration of both HOS and MG-63 cells. The apoptosis of both cells treated with 5-FU microspheres, PTX microspheres, and CDDP microspheres was significantly increased compared to the counterparts of control and blank groups. The anti-cancer drug-eluted chitosan microspheres show great potential for the treatment of osteosarcoma.
