Recent Review on Biological Barriers and Host-Material Interfaces in Precision Drug Delivery: Advancement in Biomaterial Engineering for Better Treatment Therapies. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:1076. [PMID: 39204421 PMCID: PMC11360117 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16081076] [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: 07/14/2024] [Revised: 08/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that precision therapy has a broad variety of treatment applications, making it an interesting research topic with exciting potential in numerous sectors. However, major obstacles, such as inefficient and unsafe delivery systems and severe side effects, have impeded the widespread use of precision medicine. The purpose of drug delivery systems (DDSs) is to regulate the time and place of drug release and action. They aid in enhancing the equilibrium between medicinal efficacy on target and hazardous side effects off target. One promising approach is biomaterial-assisted biotherapy, which takes advantage of biomaterials' special capabilities, such as high biocompatibility and bioactive characteristics. When administered via different routes, drug molecules deal with biological barriers; DDSs help them overcome these hurdles. With their adaptable features and ample packing capacity, biomaterial-based delivery systems allow for the targeted, localised, and prolonged release of medications. Additionally, they are being investigated more and more for the purpose of controlling the interface between the host tissue and implanted biomedical materials. This review discusses innovative nanoparticle designs for precision and non-personalised applications to improve precision therapies. We prioritised nanoparticle design trends that address heterogeneous delivery barriers, because we believe intelligent nanoparticle design can improve patient outcomes by enabling precision designs and improving general delivery efficacy. We additionally reviewed the most recent literature on biomaterials used in biotherapy and vaccine development, covering drug delivery, stem cell therapy, gene therapy, and other similar fields; we have also addressed the difficulties and future potential of biomaterial-assisted biotherapies.

Abstract
Colloidal nanoparticles exhibiting anisotropic morphologies are preferred in the structural design of spectroscopically active substrates due to the remarkable optical properties of this type of nano-object. In the particular case of star-like nanoparticles, their sharp tips can act as antennae for capturing and amplifying the incident light, as well as for enhancing the light emitted by nearby fluorophores or the scattering efficiency of Raman active molecules. In the current work, we aimed to implement such star-shaped nanoparticles in the fabrication of nanoparticle films and explore their use as solid plasmonic substrates for surface-enhanced optical spectroscopies. High-density, compact and robust self-assembled gold nanostar films were prepared by directly depositing them from aqueous colloidal suspension on polystyrene plates through convective self-assembly. We investigated the role of the polymeric coating, herein polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), in the particle assembly process, the resulting morphology and consequently, the plasmonic response of the obtained films. The efficacy of the plasmonic films as dual-mode surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates was evidenced by testing Nile Blue A (NB) and Rhodamine 800 (Rh800) molecular chromophores under visible (633 nm) versus NIR (785 nm) laser excitation. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence investigations highlight the fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime modification effects. The experimental results were corroborated with theoretical modelling by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. Furthermore, to prove the extended applicability of the proposed substrates in the detection of biologically relevant molecules, we tested their SERS efficiency for sensing metanephrine, a metabolite currently used for the biochemical diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors, at concentration levels similar to other catecholamine metabolites.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy is gaining attraction in advanced cancer therapeutics due to the ubiquity of kinases in cell survival and differentiation. Great progress was made in the past years in identifying tyrosine kinases that can function as valuable molecular targets and for the entrapment of their corresponding inhibitors in delivery compounds for triggered release. Herein we present a class of drug-delivery nanocompounds based on TKI Midostaurin-loaded gold nanoparticles that have the potential to be used as theranostic agents for the targeting of the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) in acute myeloid leukemia. We optimized the nanocompounds' formulation with loading efficiency in the 84-94% range and studied the drug release behavior in the presence of stimuli-responsive polymers. The therapeutic activity of MDS-loaded particles, superior to that of the free drug, was confirmed with toxicities depending on specific dosage ranges. No effect was observed on FLT3-negative cells or for the unloaded particles. Beyond druggability, we can track this type of nanocarrier inside biological structures as demonstrated via dark field microscopy. These properties might contribute to the facilitation of personalized drug dosage administration, critical for attaining a maximal therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Hematologic malignancies (HMs) pose a serious threat to patients' health and life, and the five-year overall survival of HMs remains low. The lack of understanding of the pathogenesis and the complex clinical symptoms brings immense challenges to the diagnosis and treatment of HMs. Traditional therapeutic strategies for HMs include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Although immunotherapy and cell therapy have made considerable progress in the last decade, nearly half of patients still relapse or suffer from drug resistance. Recently, studies have emerged that nanomaterials, nanotechnology and nanomedicine show great promise in cancer therapy by enhancing drug targeting, reducing toxicity and side effects and boosting the immune response to promote durable immunological memory. In this review, we summarized the strategies of recently developed nanomaterials, nanotechnology and nanomedicines against HMs and then proposed emerging strategies for the future designment of nanomedicines to treat HMs based on urgent clinical needs and technological progress.

Abstract
Laser Tweezers Raman Spectroscopy (LTRS) is a combination of laser tweezers and Raman spectroscopy. It is a physical tool based on the mechanical effects of the laser, which can be used to study single living cells in suspension in a fast and non-destructive way. Our work aims to establish a methodology system based on LTRS to rapidly and non-destructively detect the resistance of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells and to provide a new idea for the evaluation of the resistance of ALL cells. Two specific adriamycin-resistant and parental ALL cells BALL-1 and Nalm6 were included in this study. Adriamycin resistant cells can induce the spectral differences, which can be detected by LTRS initially. To ensure the accuracy of the results, we use the principal components analysis (PCA) as well as the classification and regression trees (CRT) algorithms, which show that the specificity and sensitivity of LTRS are above 90%. In addition, to further clarify the chemoresistance status of ALL cells, we used the CRT models and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves which are based on the band data to look for some important bands and band intensity ratios that have strong pointing significance. Our work proves that LTRS analysis combined with multivariate statistical analyses have great potential to be a novel analytical strategy at the single-cell level for rapidly evaluating the chemoresistance status of ALL cells.

Abstract
Nanosensors represent a class of emerging promising nanotools that can be used for the rapid, sensitive and specific detection of relevant molecules such as biomarkers of cancer or other diseases. The sensing platforms that rely on the exceptional physical properties of colloidal gold nanoparticles have gained a special attraction and various architectural designs were proposed with the aim of rapid and real-time detection, identification and monitoring of the capturing events. Moreover, biomarker sensing in liquid samples allows a more facile implementation of the nanosensors by circumventing the need for invasive practices such as biopsies, in favor of non-invasive investigations with potential for use as point-of-care assays. Herein, we propose a sandwich-type surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immuno-nanosensor which is aimed for detecting and quantifying Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEA-CAM5), a protein involved in intercellular adhesion and signaling pathways that acts as a tumor marker in several types of cancer. For constructing the proposed system, colloidal gold nano spheres (GNS) and gold nano-urchins (GNU) were chemically synthesized, labeled with SERS active molecules, conjugated with polymers, functionalized with antibodies as capturing substrates and tested in two different sensing configurations: pairs of GNUs-GNUs and GNUs-GNSs. When the target antigen is present in the analyte solution, nanoparticle bridging occurs and a subsequent amplification of the characteristic Raman signal of the label molecule appears due to the formation of hot-spots in interparticle gaps. The capability of observing small analyte concentrations in liquid samples with an easy-to-handle portable Raman device makes the proposed system feasible for rapid, non-invasive and cost-effective clinical or laboratory use.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a common hematologic malignancy. To this day, diagnose of AML and its genetic mutation still rely on invasive and time-consuming methods. In this study, 222 plasma samples were collected to discuss the performance of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to discriminate AML subtype acute promyelocytic leukemia and acute monocytic leukemia based on plasma. The Ag nanoparticles-based SERS technique was used to explore the biochemical differences among different AML subtypes. With the help of powerful supervised and unsupervised algorithms, the performance using the whole spectra and band intensities was confirmed to identify different subtypes of AML. The results demonstrated the intensities of several bands and band-intensity ratios were significantly different between groups, thus related to the discrimination of several AML subtypes and control. Combining indexes of band-intensity ratios, the result of multi-indexes ROC has excellent performance in differentiating AML patient with healthy control. Our work demonstrated the great potential of SERS technique as a rapid and micro detection method in clinical laboratory field, it's a new and powerful tool for analyzing human blood plasma.

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.

Nanomedicine for Immunotherapy Targeting Hematological Malignancies: Current Approaches and Perspective. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11112792. [PMID: 34835555 PMCID: PMC8619332 DOI: 10.3390/nano11112792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Revised: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy has partial therapeutic effects against hematological malignancies and is correlated with serious side effects and great risk of relapse. Recently, immunotherapeutic drugs have provided encouraging results in the treatment of hematological malignancies. Several immunotherapeutic antibodies and cell therapeutics are in dynamic development such as immune checkpoint blockades and CAR-T treatment. However, numerous problems restrain the therapeutic effectiveness of tumor immunotherapy as an insufficient anti-tumor immune response, the interference of an immune-suppressive bone marrow, or tumoral milieu with the discharge of immunosuppressive components, access of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, monocyte intrusion, macrophage modifications, all factors facilitating the tumor to escape the anti-cancer immune response, finally reducing the efficiency of the immunotherapy. Nanotechnology can be employed to overcome each of these aspects, therefore having the possibility to successfully produce anti-cancer immune responses. Here, we review recent findings on the use of biomaterial-based nanoparticles in hematological malignancies immunotherapy. In the future, a deeper understanding of tumor immunology and of the implications of nanomedicine will allow nanoparticles to revolutionize tumor immunotherapy, and nanomedicine approaches will reveal their great potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), ineligible for intensive chemotherapy and allogeneic stem cell transplantation, have a dismal prognosis. For such cases, hypomethylating agents are a viable alternative, but with limited success. Combination chemotherapy using a hypomethylating agent plus another drug would potentially bring forward new alternatives. In the present manuscript, we present the cell and molecular background for a clinical scenario of a 44-year-old patient, diagnosed with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma, diagnosed, and treated with a synchronous AML. Once the ovarian carcinoma relapsed, maintenance treatment with olaparib was initiated. Concomitantly, the bone marrow aspirate showed 30% myeloid blasts, consistent with a relapse of the underlying haematological disease. Azacytidine 75 mg/m2 treatment was started for seven days. The patient was administered two regimens of azacytidine monotherapy, additional to the olaparib-based maintenance therapy. After the second treatment, the patient presented with leucocytosis and 94% myeloid blasts on the bone marrow smear. Later, the patient unfortunately died. Following this clinical scenario, we reproduced in vitro the combination chemotherapy of azacytidine plus olaparib, to accurately assess the basic mechanisms of leukaemia progression, and resistance to treatment. Combination chemotherapy with drugs that theoretically target both malignancies might potentially be of use. Still, further research, both pre-clinical and clinical, is needed to accurately assess such cases.

Abstract
Acute leukemias (both myeloid and lymphoblastic) are a group of diseases for which each year more successful therapies are implemented. However, in a subset of cases the overall survival (OS) is still exceptionally low due to the infiltration of leukemic cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and the subsequent formation of brain tumors. The CNS involvement is more common in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), than in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML), although the rates for the second case might be underestimated. The main reasons for CNS invasion are related to the expression of specific adhesion molecules (VLA-4, ICAM-1, VCAM, L-selectin, PECAM-1, CD18, LFA-1, CD58, CD44, CXCL12) by a subpopulation of leukemic cells, called “sticky cells” which have the ability to interact and adhere to endothelial cells. Moreover, the microenvironment becomes hypoxic and together with secretion of VEGF-A by ALL or AML cells the permeability of vasculature in the bone marrow increases, coupled with the disruption of blood brain barrier. There is a single subpopulation of leukemia cells, called leukemia stem cells (LSCs) that is able to resist in the new microenvironment due to its high adaptability. The LCSs enter into the arachnoid, migrate, and intensively proliferate in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and consequently infiltrate perivascular spaces and brain parenchyma. Moreover, the CNS is an immune privileged site that also protects leukemic cells from chemotherapy. CD56/NCAM is the most important surface molecule often overexpressed by leukemic stem cells that offers them the ability to infiltrate in the CNS. Although asymptomatic or with unspecific symptoms, CNS leukemia should be assessed in both AML/ALL patients, through a combination of flow cytometry and cytological analysis of CSF. Intrathecal therapy (ITT) is a preventive measure for CNS involvement in AML and ALL, still much research is needed in finding the appropriate target that would dramatically lower CNS involvement in acute leukemia.

Abstract
In recent years, the development of nanoparticles has expanded into a broad range of clinical applications. Nanoparticles have been developed to overcome the limitations of free therapeutics and navigate biological barriers — systemic, microenvironmental and cellular — that are heterogeneous across patient populations and diseases. Overcoming this patient heterogeneity has also been accomplished through precision therapeutics, in which personalized interventions have enhanced therapeutic efficacy. However, nanoparticle development continues to focus on optimizing delivery platforms with a one-size-fits-all solution. As lipid-based, polymeric and inorganic nanoparticles are engineered in increasingly specified ways, they can begin to be optimized for drug delivery in a more personalized manner, entering the era of precision medicine. In this Review, we discuss advanced nanoparticle designs utilized in both non-personalized and precision applications that could be applied to improve precision therapies. We focus on advances in nanoparticle design that overcome heterogeneous barriers to delivery, arguing that intelligent nanoparticle design can improve efficacy in general delivery applications while enabling tailored designs for precision applications, thereby ultimately improving patient outcome overall. Advances in nanoparticle design could make substantial contributions to personalized and non-personalized medicine. In this Review, Langer, Mitchell, Peppas and colleagues discuss advances in nanoparticle design that overcome heterogeneous barriers to delivery, as well as the challenges in translating these design improvements into personalized medicine approaches.

Abstract
The application of gold nanoparticles in immunotherapy has emerged as one of the most effective therapeutic strategy for eradicating cancer by releasing antigens, oligonucleotides, adjuvants, immune-stimulating agents into the body. Gold nanoparticles are found to be a superior choice, for generating attack on oncogenic cells, due to their low toxicity, better target specificity, diagnostic capabilities, and enhanced cellular uptake rate. This review focuses on the efficiency of several functionalized gold nanoparticles of diverse shapes and sizes as delivery vehicles to desired target cells through effective immunotherapy, along with a brief discussion about photothermal therapy.

Abstract
To cater to medication needs in the future healthcare system, we need to shift from the conventional system of drug delivery to modern molecular signature-based drug delivery systems. The current drug therapies are either less effective, ineffective, or produce numerous adverse reactions. One scientific principle or discipline cannot adequately address all the problems, so we need an innovative application of the current scientific principles. Here we are proposing a novel concept of nanoformulation based on pharmacogenomics and theranostics for personalized error-free and targeted therapeutic agent delivery. The addition of more knowledge about the human genome opens the new way to study disease-gene, gene-drug, and drug-effect interactions, which is the basis of future medicines. Pharmacogenomics provides information about the disease etiology, role in genes in disease pathophysiology, disease biomarkers, drug targets, drug effects, and the fate of drugs inside the body. Theranostics approach utilizes the above information in diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of the disease on a real-time basis. Personalized dosage forms can be formulated into a nanoformulation that provides a better therapeutic effect and minimizes adverse drug reactions. The therapeutic system needs to be shifted from the principle of one drug fits all to one drug unique population. In the present manuscript, we tried to conceptualize a modern therapeutic system by combining the three approaches viz. pharmacogenomics, theranostics, and nanotechnology applied in the area of formulation development to produce a multifunctional single tiny entity.
