Modification of Polyethylene Glycol-Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate Polymeric Micelles Loaded with Curcumin for Cellular Internalization and Cytotoxicity to Wilms Tumor 1-Expressing Myeloblastic Leukemia K562 Cells. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:917. [PMID: 38611175 PMCID: PMC11013463 DOI: 10.3390/polym16070917] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Curcumin loaded in micelles of block copolymers of ω-methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) and N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide modified with aliphatic dilactate (CD) or aromatic benzoyl group (CN) were previously reported to inhibit human ovarian carcinoma (OVCAR-3), human colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2), and human lymphoblastic leukemia (Molt-4) cells. Myeloblastic leukemia cells (K562) are prone to drug resistance and differ in both cancer genotype and phenotype from the three mentioned cancer cells. In the present study, CD and CN micelles were prepared and their effects on K562 and normal cells were explored. The obtained CD and CN showed a narrow size distribution with diameters of 63 ± 3 and 50 ± 1 nm, respectively. The curcumin entrapment efficiency of CD and CN was similarly high, above 80% (84 ± 8% and 91 ± 3%). Both CD and CN showed suppression on WT1-expressing K562 and high cell-cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. However, CD showed significantly higher cytotoxicity to K562, with faster cellular uptake and internalization than CN. In addition, CD showed better compatibility with normal red blood cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells than CN. The promising CD will be further investigated in rodents and possibly in clinical studies for leukemia treatment.

BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 151:213484. [PMID: 37276691 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
The design of polymeric biocompatible nanomaterials for biological and medical applications has received special attention in recent years. Among different polymers, the triblock type copolymers (EO)x(PO)y(EO)x or Pluronics® stand out due its favorable characteristics such as biocompatibility, low tissue adhesion, thermosensitivity, and structural capacity to produce different types of macro and nanostructures, e.g. micelles, vesicles, nanocapsules, nanospheres, and hydrogels. However, Pluronic itself is not the "magic bullet" and its functionalization via chemical synthesis following biologically oriented design rules is usually required aiming to improve its properties. Therefore, this paper presents some of the main publications on new methodologies for synthetic modifications and applications of Pluronic-based nanoconstructs in the biomedical field in the last 15 years. In general, the polymer modifications aim to improve physical-chemical properties related to the micellization process or physical entrapment of drug cargo, responsive stimuli, active targeting, thermosensitivity, gelling ability, and hydrogel formation. Among these applications, it can be highlighted the treatment of malignant neoplasms, infectious diseases, wound healing, cellular regeneration, and tissue engineering. Functionalized Pluronic has also been used for various purposes, including medical diagnosis, medical imaging, and even miniaturization, such as the creation of lab-on-a-chip devices. In this context, this review discusses the main scientific contributions to the designing, optimization, and improvement of covalently functionalized Pluronics aiming at new strategies focused on the multiple areas of the biomedical field.

Abstract
Tumor-targeted therapy based on nanoparticles is a popular research direction in the biomedical field. After decades of research and development, both the passive targeting ability of the inherent properties of NPs and the active targeting based on ligand receptor interaction have gained deeper understanding. Unfortunately, most targeted delivery strategies are still in the preclinical trial stage, so it is necessary to further study the biological fate of particles in vivo and the interaction mechanism with tumors. This article reviews different targeted delivery strategies based on NPs, and focuses on the physical and chemical properties of NPs (size, morphology, surface and intrinsic properties), ligands (binding number/force, activity and species) and receptors (endocytosis, distribution and recycling) and other factors that affect particle targeting. The limitations and solutions of these factors are further discussed, and a variety of new targeting schemes are introduced, hoping to provide guidance for future targeting design and achieve the purpose of rapid transformation of targeted particles into clinical application.

Abstract
The hydrophobicity of most of the anticancer drugs offers a great challenge in selecting a system for their effective transport. Here comes the importance of micelles that offers a hydrophobic core for incorporating these drugs. In this study, Hyaluronic Acid coated Pluronic mixed micelle loaded with Paclitaxel and Curcumin was designed and evaluated its anticancer activity in MCF-7 cells. Pluronic F127 (PF127) and Pluronic P123 (PP123) were taken for preparing the mixed micelles. The targeting ligand folic acid (FA) was conjugated to one end of PP123 forming FA-PP. The end hydroxyl groups of PF127 were oxidized to aldehyde groups resulted in PF-CHO. Mixed micelles were prepared from PF-CHO and FA-PP and the end aldehyde groups were used for coating the micelles with hyaluronic acid. The material was characterized using FTIR, H1NMR, DLS, FE-SEM and TEM. The coated micelles showed spherical shape with drug loading efficiency of 50.15 and 65.05% for Paclitaxel and Curcumin, respectively. In vitro drug release was studied at pH 5.5 and 7.4. Dual drug-loaded material showed higher in-vitro anticancer activity than free Paclitaxel and Curcumin. The results suggested that synthesized mixed micelle with dual drugs showed great potential for targeted delivery to MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated two formulations of chitosan-Pluronic P123 with different folate ligand designation for targeted delivery of Paclitaxel (PTX), in which folic acid (FA) was directly conjugated to chitosan (FA-Cs-P123) or substituted onto P123 (Cs-P123-FA). The results showed that the FA content of Cs-P123-FA was determined at 0.71 wt/wt% which was significantly higher than that of FA-Cs-P123 (0.31 wt/wt%). Two copolymers were low critical gel concentrations (CGC). FA-Cs-P123 and Cs-P123-FA nanogels performed high PTX encapsulation efficiency reaching 95.57 ± 5.51 and 92.51 ± 6.68 wt/wt%, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and zeta potential analysis indicated that the PTX-loaded nanogels were spherically formed around 60 nm in diameter along with positive charge. Furthermore, the PTX release profile was slow and it was controlled by the pH of the medium. In particular, in vitro biocompatibility assays indicated that both FA-Cs-P123 and Cs-P123-FA exhibited good biological compatibility with a human foreskin fibroblast cell line and well uptake efficiency into MCF-7 cancer cells. Cs-P123-FA nanogel significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of PTX in comparison with FA-Cs-P123. The result indicates that Cs-P123-FA nanogels with a higher decorated FA content perform a better targeting efficiency; therefore, they could have great potential application towards breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Background:
Paclitaxel (PTX) has been clinically used for several years due to its good therapeutic
effect against cancers. Its poor water-solubility, non-selectivity, high cytotoxicity to normal tissue and worse
pharmacokinetic property limit its clinical application.
Objective:
To review the recent progress on the PTX delivery systems.
Methods:
In recent years, the copolymeric nano-drug delivery systems for PTX are broadly studied. It mainly
includes micelles, nanoparticles, liposomes, complexes, prodrugs and hydrogels, etc. They were developed or
further modified with target molecules to investigate the release behavior, targeting to tissues, pharmacokinetic
property, anticancer activities and bio-safety of PTX. In the review, we will describe and discuss the recent
progress on the nano-drug delivery system for PTX since 2011.
Results:
The water-solubility, selective delivery to cancers, tissue toxicity, controlled release and pharmacokinetic
property of PTX are improved by its encapsulation into the nano-drug delivery systems. In addition, its
activities against cancer are also comparable or high when compared with the commercial formulation.
Conclusion:
Encapsulating PTX into nano-drug carriers should be helpful to reduce its toxicity to human, keeping
or enhancing its activity and improving its pharmacokinetic property.

Abstract
The development and application of nano-drug carriers might provide an excellent opportunity for cancer therapy. However, it is still an important challenge to realize the regulation and control of drug loading by analyzing the assembly process of carrier-loaded drugs. Herein, we show a "self-contained bioactive nanocarrier" system, which is prepared from ursolic acid, one of the very promising biologically active natural products with self-assembly properties. The study decrypts the assembly process of drug-carrier interaction and achieves the regulation of drug loading by controlling the interaction force. This nanocarrier highlights the unique advantages of active natural products in therapeutic efficacy and health benefits. In antitumor experiments, the carrier and drug demonstrated synergistic therapeutic efficacy. Furthermore, the nanocarrier is biosafe and capable of reducing the risk of liver damage induced by chemotherapeutics through the upregulation of key antioxidant pathways. Taken together, this "self-contained bioactive nanocarrier" system makes up for the drawback that conventional nanocarriers have no therapeutic efficacy and health benefits and eliminates the trouble of the toxic side effects associated with chemotherapy agents and the additional toxicity caused by long-term use of nanocarriers.

Abstract
In this study, novel multifunctional folic acid, biotin, and CD44 receptors targeted and pH-sensitive “nano-actiniaes” were fabricated with icariin (ICA) and curcumin (Cur) as loaded model drugs for breast cancer therapy. The newly synthesized polymer oligomeric hyaluronic acid-hydrazone bond-folic acid-biotin (Bio-oHA-Hyd-FA) was characterized by 1H NMR spectrogram (proton nuclear magnetic resonance). The obtained drug carrier Bio-oHA-Hyd-FA self-assembled into nanomicelles, named as “nano-actiniaes”, in aqueous media with hydrodynamic diameter of 162.7 ± 5 nm. The size, surface zeta potential, and morphology of the “nano-actiniaes” were observed via TEM. The in vitro release experiment indicated that much more encapsulated icariin (ICA) and curcumin (Cur) were released from the Bio-oHA-Hyd-FA micelles (nano-actiniaes) in the acidic environment. Additionally, the cytotoxicity research demonstrated that the Bio-oHA-Hyd-FA carrier material was completely nontoxic, and the ICA&Cur “nano-actiniaes” had greater cytotoxicity compared with other control groups. In addition, the “nano-actiniaes” were found to significantly inhibit cancer cell invasion by Transwell assay. Moreover, in vivo evaluation of anti-tumor effect illustrated that the ICA and Cur “nano-actiniaes” possessed inhibitory effect on tumors. Consequently, the multi-targeted pH-sensitive “nano-actiniaes” can realize significant tumor targeting and effectively inhibit tumor growth.

Abstract
Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are the three top cancer treatment modalities. Paclitaxel (PTX) is one of the most widely used chemotherapy drugs. However, its clinical applications have been significantly limited due to: (i) serious hemolysis effect of currently available commercial paclitaxel formulations and (ii) its water insolubility. An easy way to deliver paclitaxel by a new nanocarrier system using pluronic copolymers of P123/F68 and Sorbitan monopalmitate (Span 40) was reported in our previous research article. The characterization of the formulation and analysis of drug release and cellular uptake were also presented. In this article, we reported discoveries of our follow-up in vivo antitumor and in vitro hemolytic study discoveries. The experimental results showed that the nanoformulated PTX achieved much better tumor suppression performance while reducing hemolysis side effects. This newly formulated drug can significantly improve patient outcomes in cancer chemotherapy.

Mercaptan acids modified amphiphilic copolymers for efficient loading and release of doxorubicin. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2017; 153:220-228.

Abstract
In this paper, four different kinds of mercaptan acids modified amphiphilic copolymers mPEG-b-PATMC-g-SRCOOH (R=CH2, CH2CH2, (CH2)10 and CH(COOH)CH2) were successfully synthesized by thiol-ene "click" reaction between pendent carbon-carbon double bonds of PEG-b-PATMC and thiol groups of thioglycolic acid, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid or 2-mercaptosuccinic acid. DLS and TEM measurements showed that all the mPEG-b-PATMC-g-SRCOOH copolymers could self-assemble to form micelles which dispersed in spherical shape with nano-size before and after DOX loading. The positively-charged DOX could effectively load into copolymer micelles via synergistic hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. All DOX-loaded mPEG-b-PATMC-g-SRCOOH micelles displayed sustained drug release behavior without an initial burst which could be further adjusted by the conditions of ionic strength and pH. Especially in the case of mPEG-b-PATMC-g-S(CH2)10COOH (P3) micelles, the suitable hydrophobility and charge density were not only beneficial to improve the DOX-loading efficiency, they were also good for obtaining smaller particle size, higher micelle stability and more timely drug delivery. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and MTT assays further demonstrated efficient cellular uptake of DOX delivered by mPEG-b-PATMC-g-SRCOOH micelles and potent cytotoxic activity against cancer cells.

Abstract
Melanoma originated from melanocytes is the most aggressive type of skin cancer. Despite considerable progresses in clinical treatment with the discovery of BRAF or MEK inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, the durability of response to treatment is often limited to the development of acquired resistance and systemic toxicity. The limited success of conventional treatment highlights the importance of understanding the role of melanoma tumor microenvironment in tumor developement and drug resistance. Nanoparticles represent a promising strategy for the development of new cancer treatments able to improve the bioavailability of drugs and increase their penetration by targeting specifically tumors cells and/or tumor environment. In this review, we will discuss the main influence of tumor microenvironment in melanoma growth and treatment outcome. Furthermore, third generation loaded nanotechnologies represent an exciting tool for detection, treatment, and escape from possible mechanism of resistance mediated by tumor microenvironment, and will be highlighted in this review.

Abstract
This review focuses on recent investigations that used Pluronic P123 (P123) as pharmaceutical ingredients in vesicle, micelle, mixed micelle, in situ gel, tablet and emulsion. The main results from these studies show that P123 can significantly increase the stability of incorporated hydrophobic drugs with enhanced in vitro cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of anticancer drugs. Moreover, modified forms of P123 with RGD, folate or other targeted marker have shown its therapeutic potentials in various types of tumors and cancers. Furthermore, modified forms of P123 alone and/or mixed with other copolymers have less toxic effects and more tumor-specific delivery of anticancer drugs. They are promising materials as a nanoplatform for the drug delivery. Finally, the future perspectives of the field are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Nanomedicine has evolved with the use of biological compounds such as proteins, peptides and DNA. These hydrophilic and often highly charged compounds require a delivery system to allow effective transport and release at the site of action. These new biological therapeutics have not replaced the more traditional smaller molecule, but instead are working synergistically to the benefit of the end user. To that end, drug delivery systems are now required to encapsulate both larger hydrophilic compounds as well as the smaller and generally more hydrophobic compound. This review highlights the emerging role in drug delivery of amphiphilic polymers that by their very nature can associate with compounds of differing physicochemical properties, in particular the role of micelles, polymersomes and nanocapsules.

Abstract
Aim: Paclitaxel (PTX) is an effective anticancer agent used in the therapy of a wide variety of cancers. However, the drug is difficult to formulate due to its low solubility, and therefore, it is administered under slow infusion with castor oil/ethanol solution as surfactant that causes serious side effects. This investigation investigates leutinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH)-tethered nanparticulate system as modality for cancer-specific delivery of PTX and therefore minimizing the adverse effects. Materials & methods: LHRH-tethered poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) copolymer with poly ethylene glycol side chain was synthesized, characterized and employed to formulate PTX-loaded nanoparticulate system. Results & conclusion: The developed nanoparticulate appears to be proficient in carrying as well as targeted delivery of PTX with improved therapeutic efficacy and better safety.

Abstract
To improve the poor water solubility of sorafenib and to monitor its distribution and the early feedback effects on its in vivo treatment efficacy in a precise manner, sorafenib (SF) and gadolinium (Gd) co-loaded liposomes (SF/Gd-liposomes) were prepared. The simultaneous imaging and therapy efficacies of the SF/Gd-liposomes were tested. The solubility of SF in SF/Gd-liposomes was significantly increased from 0.21 μg/mL to 250 μg/mL. The imaging capability of SF/Gd-liposomes were tested by in-vitro and the in-vivo imaging ability tests and the results confirmed that SF/Gd-liposomes could be served as an effective contrast agent. The design of SF/Gd-liposomes allowed the MRI-guided in vivo visualization of the delivery and biodistribution of liposome. In the in vivo antitumor studies, SF/Gd-liposomes had better antitumor effects in H22 tumor-bearing mice than SF solution (oral or i.v. administration) (P<0.05). These findings indicated that the SF/Gd-liposomes could be used as the promising nano-carriers for the MRI-guided in vivo visualization of the delivery and HCC treatment.
