[PMID: 37852336 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE In traditional Chinese medicine, propolis has been used for treating oral diseases for centuries, widely. Flavonoid extract is the main active ingredient in propolis, which has attracted extensive attention in recent years. AIM OF THE STUDY The objective and novelty of the current study aims to identify the mechanism of total flavonoid extract of propolis (TFP) for the treatment of periodontitis, and evaluate the therapeutic effect of TFP-loaded liquid crystal hydrogel (TFP-LLC) in rats with periodontitis. METHODS In this study, we used lipopolysaccharide-stimulated periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) to construct in vitro inflammation model, and investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of TFP by expression levels of inflammatory factors. Osteogenic differentiation was assessed using alkaline phosphatase activity and alizarin red staining. Meanwhile, the expression of toll like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) etc, were quantitated to investigate the therapeutic mechanism of TFP. Finally, we constructed TFP-LLC using a self-emulsification method and administered it to rats with periodontitis via periodontal pocket injection to evaluate the therapeutic effects. The therapeutic index, microcomputed tomography (Micro-CT), H&E staining, TRAP staining, and Masson staining were used for this evaluation. RESULTS TFP reduced the expression of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB and inflammatory factor in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated PDLSCs. Meanwhile, TFP simultaneously regulating alkaline phosphatase, RANK, runt-associated transcription factor-2 and matrix metalloproteinase production to accelerate osteogenic differentiation and collagen secretion. In addition, TFP-LLC can stably anchor to the periodontal lesion site and sustainably release TFP. After four weeks of treatment with TFP-LLC, we observed a decrease in the levels of NF-κB and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the periodontal tissues of rats, as well as a significant reduction in inflammation in HE staining. Similarly, Micro CT results showed that TFP-LLC could significantly inhibit alveolar bone resorption, increase bone mineral density (BMD) and reduce trabecular bone space (Tb.Sp) in rats with periodontitis. CONCLUSION Collectively, we have firstly verified the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of TFP in PDLSCs for periodontitis treatment. Our results indicate that TFP perform anti-inflammatory and tissue repair activities through TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB and RANK/NF-κB pathways in PDLSCs. Meanwhile, for the first time, we employed LLC delivery system to load TFP for periodontitis treatment. The results showed that TFP-LLC could be effectively retained in the periodontal pocket and exerted a crucial role in inflammation resolution and periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
This study developed a new transdermal delivery system for the improved delivery of sinomenine hydrochloride (SH). The delivery system utilized the advantages of lyotropic liquid crystals (LLC) creating an adaptable system that offers a variety of options for the field of transdermal delivery. The formulation was prepared, characterized, and evaluated for its skin penetration in vitro. In the study, the appearance of samples was characterized by visual observation, and these LLC gels were colorless and transparent. Polarizing light microscopy (PLM) and small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXS) were used to analyze the internal structures of gels, and the gels displayed a cubic double-diamond (Pn3m) internal structure with a dark field of vision. The Franze diffusion cell was used to evaluate its skin penetration. There were several factors which might influence the skin penetration of drugs, such as drug loading, water content, and the layer spacing of the LLC. In our case, drug concentration gradient played a more powerful role. The result of in vitro permeation studies demonstrated that the drug concentration was higher; the cumulative osmotic quantity of SH (Q) was greater. Therefore, the system was a promising formulation for successful percutaneous delivery of SH through the skin.

Abstract
In the present study we aimed to control insulin release from the reverse hexagonal (HII) mesophase using Thermomyces lanuginosa lipase (TLL) in the environment (outer TLL) or within the HII cylinders (inner TLL). Two insulin-loaded systems differing by the presence (or absence) of phosphatidylcholine (PC) were examined. In general, incorporation of PC into the HII interface (without TLL) increased insulin release, as a more cooperative system was formed. Addition of TLL to the systems' environments resulted in lipolysis of the HII structure. In the absence of PC, the lipolysis was more dominant and led to a significant increase in insulin release (50% after 8h). However, the presence of PC stabilized the interface, hindering the lipolysis, and therefore no impact on the release profile was detected during the first 8h. Entrapment of TLL within the HII cylinders (with and without PC) drastically increased insulin release in both systems up to 100%. In the presence of PC insulin released faster and the structure was more stable. Consequently, the presence of lipases (inner or outer) both enhanced the destruction of the carrier, and provided sustained release of the entrapped insulin.

Abstract
The study investigates the unit cell structure of inverted hexagonal (H(II)) mesophase composed of monoolein (1-monoolein, GMO) and water using atomistic molecular dynamics methods without imposing any restraints on lipid and water molecules. Statistically meaningful and very contrast images of the radial mass density distribution, scrutinizing also the separate components water, monoolein, the polar headgroups of the lipids, the double bond, and the termini of the hydrocarbon chain (the tail), are obtained. The lipid/water interface structure is analyzed based on the obtained water density distribution, on the estimated number of hydrogen bonds per monoolein headgroup, and on the headgroup-water radial distribution functions. The headgroup mass density distribution demonstrates hexagonal shape of the monoolein/water interface that is well-defined at higher water/monoolein ratios. Water interacts with the headgroups by forming a three-layer diffusive mass density distribution, and each layer's shape is close to hexagonal, which is an indication of long-range structural interactions. It is found that the monoolein headgroups form a constant number of hydrogen bonds leaving an excessive amount of water molecules outside the first lipid coordination sphere. Furthermore, the quantity of water at the monoolein/water interface increases steadily upon extension of the unit cell, so the interface should have a very dynamic structure. Investigation of the hydrocarbon residues reveals high compression and well-expressed structuring of the tails. The tails form a very compressed and constrained structure of defined layers across the unit cell with properties corresponding to a more densely packed nonpolar liquid (oil). Due to the hexagonal shape the 2D packing frustration is constant and does not depend on the water content. All reported structural features are based on averaging of the atomic coordinates over the time-length of the simulation trajectories. That kind of processing allows the observation of the water/GMO interface shape and its stability and mobility at a time scale close to the ones of the intermolecular interactions.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate that emulsified microemulsions and micellar cubosomes are suitable as sustained delivery vehicles for water-soluble proteins. Through structural modifications, the loading efficiency of two model proteins, namely bovine serum albumin (BSA) and cytochrome c could be remarkably increased. A procedure for preparing these particles loaded with optimized amounts of sensitive substances is presented. Loading and dispersion at low temperatures is performed in two successive steps. First, a water-in-oil microemulsion is loaded with the proteins. Subsequently, this phase is dispersed in water resulting in particles with microemulsion and micellar cubic internal structure and a size of approximately 620 nm. This two-step method ensures optimal loading of the particles with the proteins. These nanostructured particles are able to sustain the release of the water-soluble BSA and cytochrome c. Within one day, less than 10% of BSA and 15% of cytochrome c are released. The release rate of cytochrome c is influenced by the nanostructure of the particles.

Abstract
Lipid-based lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) show great potential for applications in fields as diverse as food technology, cosmetics, pharmaceutics, or structural biology. Recently, these systems have provided a viable alternative to the difficult process of membrane protein crystallization, owing to their similarities with cell membranes. Nonetheless, the process of in-meso crystallization of proteins still remains poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that in-meso crystal morphologies of lysozyme (LSZ), a model hydrophilic protein, can be controlled by both the composition and symmetry of the mesophase, inferring a possible general influence of the LLC space group on the protein crystal polymorphism. Lysozyme was crystallized in-meso from three common LLC phases (lamellar, inverse hexagonal, and inverse bicontinuous cubic) composed of monolinolein and water. Different mixing ratios of mesophase to crystallization buffer were used in order to tune crystallization both in the bulk mesophase and in excess water conditions. Two distinct mechanisms of crystallization were shown to take place depending on available water in the mesophases. In the bulk mesophases, protein nuclei form and grow within structural defects of the mesophase and partially dehydrate the system inducing order-to-order transitions of the liquid crystalline phase toward stable symmetries in conditions of lower hydration. The formed protein crystals eventually macrophase separate from the mesophase allowing the system to reach its final symmetry. On the other hand, when excess water is available, protein molecules diffuse from the water channels into the excess water, where the crystallization process can take place freely, and with little to no effect on the structure and symmetry of the lyotropic liquid crystals.
