[PMID: 39071677 PMCID: PMC11277410 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e34096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Sox2 and Oct4 dysregulations could significantly increase in the cancer stem cell (CSC) population in some cancer cells and resistance to common treatments. In this study, the synergistic effects of Sox2-Oct4 decoy oligodeoxynucleotides-encapsulated Niosomes-zinc hybrid nanocarriers along with X-irradiation conditions as a combinational therapy tool were investigated in the treatment of cancer-like stem cells (NTERA-2). The NTERA-2 cell line known as a cancer-like stem cell line was used in this investigation. Sox2-Oct4 decoy oligodeoxynucleotides were designed based on the sequence of the Sox2 promoter and synthesized. Physicochemical characteristics of ODNs-encapsulated niosomes-zinc hybrid nanocarriers (NISM@BSA-DEC-Zn) investigated with FT-IR, DLS, FESEM, and ODNs release kinetic estimation assays. Further investigations such as hemolysis, uptake, cell viability, apoptosis, cell cycle, and scratch repair tests were performed. All the above assays were completed with and without X-ray exposure conditions (fractionated 2Gy). Physicochemical characteristics results showed that the Niosomes-Zn nanocarriers were successfully synthesized. NISM@BSA-DEC-Zn was efficiently taken up by NTERA-2 cells and significantly inhibited cell growth, increased apoptosis, and reduced cell migration in both conditions (with and without X-ray exposure). Furthermore, NISM@BSA-DEC-Zn treatment resulted in G1 and G2/M cell cycle arrest without and with X-irradiation, respectively. The prepared nanocarrier system can be a promising tool for drug delivery in cancer treatment. Decoy ODN strategy along with zinc nanoparticles could increase the sensitivity of cancer cells toward irradiation, which has the potential for combinational cancer therapies.

Abstract
Burn wounds are vulnerable to various infections due to damage to the tissue and changes in immune responses. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a critical bacterium that can cause burn wound infections, which can be life-threatening and delay wound healing. Therefore, it is essential to develop an efficient strategy to prevent the spread of infection in burn wounds. The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of electrospun nanofibers of royal jelly on a chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol polymer scaffold in repairing burn wounds infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To achieve this, the researchers analyzed the morphology and physicochemical properties of the synthesized nanofibers using SEM, FTIR, BET, and TGA analyses. They also examined the antibacterial properties of the nanofibers using agar diffusion and spread plate techniques. In addition, hemolysis tests were carried out to assess biocompatibility. Finally, the ability of the nanofibers to repair burn wounds infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa was evaluated using a laboratory mouse model. The study results showed that the synthesized nanofibers had desirable morphology and physicochemical properties and significant antibacterial effects in both in vitro and in vivo conditions. Also, loading RJ into the polymer scaffold significantly reduced erythrocyte lysis. The wound healing and contraction rates were significantly higher than the control groups, and tissue repair, re-epithelialization, and collagen synthesis occurred faster, preventing the spread of infection to deeper tissue areas. Based on these findings, the synthesized system has the potential to serve as a suitable substitute for some invasive treatments and chemical drugs to improve chronic wounds and manage infection control in burn injuries.

Liposome Nanocarriers Based on γ Oryzanol: Preparation, Characterization, and In Vivo Assessment of Toxicity and Antioxidant Activity. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:3554-3564. [PMID: 38284009 PMCID: PMC10809378 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
The present study aimed to develop and characterize liposome nanocarriers based on γ oryzanol and evaluate their potential in vitro and in vivo toxicity and antioxidant effects. The liposomes were physicochemically characterized using various techniques, including dynamic light scattering (DLS) for size and polydispersity index (PDI) measurements and ζ-potential analysis. The in vitro toxicity assessments were performed using hemolysis and MTT assays on the HS5 cell line. In vivo, acute oral toxicity was evaluated by using LD50 assays in mice. Additionally, antioxidant activity was assessed through biochemical analysis of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels and liver tissue catalase, malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione (GSH) levels. The results revealed that the liposomes exhibited a uniform and spherical morphology with suitable physicochemical properties for drug delivery applications. The in vitro cytotoxicity and hemolysis assays and the in vivo LD50 experiment indicated the potential safety of γ oryzanol liposomes, especially at lower concentrations. In addition, the assessment of liver enzymes, i.e., ALT and AST, and the antioxidant markers further revealed the safety of the formulation, particularly for the liver as a highly sensitive soft organ. Overall, the liposome nanocarriers based on γ oryzanol were successfully formulated and expressed potential safety, supporting their application for the purposes of drug delivery and therapeutic interventions, particularly for hepatocellular and antioxidant therapies; however, further investigations for preclinical and clinical studies could be the future prospects for liposome nanocarriers based on γ oryzanol to explore the safety and efficacy of these nanocarriers in various disease models and clinical settings.

Abstract
Drug delivery is an important topic that has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years. Albumin nanoparticles play a significant role in drug delivery as a carrier due to their unique characteristics. Albumin is non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable. Its structure is such that it can interact with different drugs, which makes the treatment of the disease faster and also reduces the side effects of the drug. Albumin nanoparticles can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, including cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, etc. These nanoparticles can connect to some compounds, such as metal nanoparticles, antibodies, folate, etc. and create a powerful nanostructure for drug delivery. In this paper, we aim to investigate albumin nanoparticles in carrier format for drug delivery application. In the beginning, different types of albumin and their preparation methods were discussed, and then albumin nanoparticles were discussed in detail in diagnosing and treating various diseases.

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare an o/w mitiglinide microemulsion (MTGME) to improve the drug solubility and bioavailability. The formulation of o/w MTGME was optimized by the solubility study of drug, pseudo-ternary phase diagram and Box-Behnken design successively. MTGME was characterized by dynamic laser light scattering (DLS), zeta potential and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), moreover, the storage stability, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics were investigated. The optimal prescription for MTGME consisted of Maisine 35-1 (oil), Cremophor EL (surfactant) and propylene glycol (PG, cosurfactant). MTGME with a spherical dimension of 58.1 ± 5.86 nm was stable when stored at 4 °C for 3 months. The blood glucose levers (BGL) of diabetic mice were uniformly and significantly decreased by intragastric (i.g.) administration of 1-4 mg/kg MTGME, in which BGL (i.g. 4 mg/kg MTGME) was reduced by 69% during 24 h. The pharmacokinetics study of MTGME (i.g., 20 mg/kg) in Wistar rats showed higher plasma drug concentration (Cmax, 2.9 folds), larger area under curve (AUC, 4.6 folds) and oral bioavailability than those of MTG suspensions. Generally, the MTGME (o/w) showed good effect on controlling hyperglycemia. Therefore, microemulsion can be used as an effective oral drug delivery system to improve the bioavailability of MTG.

Abstract
The Myc gene is the essential oncogene in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This study investigates the synergistic effects of combining Myc decoy oligodeoxynucleotides-encapsulated niosomes-selenium hybrid nanocarriers with X-irradiation exposure on the MDA-MB-468 cell line. Decoy and scramble ODNs for Myc transcription factor were designed and synthesized based on promoter sequences of the Bcl2 gene. The nanocarriers were synthesized by loading Myc ODNs and selenium into chitosan (Chi-Se-DEC), which was then encapsulated in niosome-nanocarriers (NISM@Chi-Se-DEC). FT-IR, DLS, FESEM, and hemolysis tests were applied to confirm its characterization and physicochemical properties. Moreover, cellular uptake, cellular toxicity, apoptosis, cell cycle, and scratch repair assays were performed to evaluate its anticancer effects on cancer cells. All anticancer assessments were repeated under X-ray irradiation conditions (fractionated 2Gy). Physicochemical characteristics of niosomes containing SeNPs and ODNs showed that it is synthesized appropriately. It revealed that the anticancer effect of NISM@Chi-Se-DEC can be significantly improved in combination with X-ray irradiation treatment. It can be concluded that NISM@Chi-Se-DEC nanocarriers have the potential as a therapeutic agent for cancer treatment, particularly in combination with radiation therapy and in-vivo experiments are necessary to confirm the efficacy of this nano-drug.

Abstract
Myelosuppression is a prevalent and potentially life-threatening side effect during chemotherapy. As the main active component of ginseng, 20(S)-protopanaxadiol (PPD) is capable of relieving myelosuppression by restoring hematopoiesis and immunity. In this study, PPD was encapsulated in human albumin nanoparticles (PPD-HSA NPs) by nanoparticle albumin-bound (Nab) technology for intramuscular injection to optimize its pharmacokinetic properties and promote recovery of myelosuppression. The prepared PPD-HSA NPs had a particle size of about 280 nm with a narrow size distribution. PPD dispersed as an amorphous state within the PPD-HSA NPs, and the NPs exhibited in vitro sustained release behavior. PPD-HSA NPs showed a favorable pharmacokinetic profile with high absolute bioavailability, probably due to the fact that NPs entered into the blood circulation via lymphatic circulation and were eliminated slowly. In vivo distribution experiments demonstrated that PPD-HSA NPs were mainly distributed in the liver and spleen, but a strong fluorescence signal was also found in the inguinal lymph node, indicating drug absorption via a lymph route. The myelosuppressive model was established using cyclophosphamide as the inducer. Pharmacodynamic studies confirmed that PPD-HSA NPs were effective in promoting the level of white blood cells. Moreover, the neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were significantly higher in the PPD-HSA NPs group compared with the control group. This preliminary investigation revealed that PPD-HSA NPs via intramuscular administration may be an effective intervention strategy to alleviate myelosuppression.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOD) exerts anticancer effects by producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). However, the use of GOD is limited by its short half-life and low stability. Systemic H2O2 production following systemic absorption of GOD can also cause serious toxicity. GOD-conjugated bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (GOD-BSA NPs) may be useful for overcoming these limitations. Here, bioorthogonal copper-free click chemistry was employed to develop GOD-BSA NPs that are non-toxic and biodegradable and can effectively and rapidly conjugate proteins. These NPs retained their activity, unlike conventional albumin NPs. NPs using dibenzyl cyclooctyne (DBCO)-modified albumin, azide-modified albumin, and azide-modified GOD were fabricated in 10 min. After intratumoral administration, GOD-BSA NPs remained in the tumor for a longer period and displayed better anticancer activity than the effects of GOD alone. GOD-BSA NPs were approximately 240 nm in size and inhibited tumor growth to 40 mm3, whereas tumors treated with phosphate-buffered saline or albumin NPs had sizes of 1673 and 1578 mm3, respectively. GOD-BSA NPs prepared using click chemistry may be useful as a drug delivery system for protein enzymes.

Abstract
Combination of bovine serum albumin with microemulsions as constituting ingredient biopolymer has long been regarded an innovative method to address the surface functionalization and stability issues in the targeted payload deliveries, thereupon producing effectively modified microemulsions, which are superior in loading capacity, transitional and shelf-stability, as well as site-directed/site-preferred delivery, has become a favored option. The current study aimed to develop an efficient, suitable and functional microemulsion system encapsulating sesame oil (SO) as a model payload towards developing an efficient delivery platform. UV-VIS, FT-IR, and FE-SEM were used to characterize, and analyze the developed carrier. Physicochemical properties assessments of the microemulsion by dynamic light scattering size distributions, zeta-potential, and electron micrographic analyses were performed. The mechanical properties for rheological behavior were also studied. The HFF-2 cell line and hemolysis assays were conducted to ascertain the cell viability, and in vitro biocompatibility. The in vivo toxicity was determined based on a predicted median lethal dose (LD50) model, wherein the liver enzymes' functions were also tested to assess and confirm the predicted toxicity.

Abstract
Several polymers are used for the preparation of biomaterials as membranes and films for tissue engineering applications. The most common plasticizer is PEG to obtain polymer-based biomaterials. On the other hand, triacetin is a non-toxic, FDA-approved plasticizer mostly used in the food industry. In this study, we used triacetin as a plasticizer to obtain hydrophobic membranes for the prevention of intra-abdominal adhesion. We selected a well-known polymer named PHBHHx which is a bacterial polyester generally used as supporting material for cell attachments in regenerative tissue applications. We evaluated the triacetin as a plasticizer and its effect on mechanical, thermal, surface area, pore size, and surface energy. The hydrophobic/hydrophilic contrast of a biomaterial surface determines the biological response. Surface hydrophobicity is critical for the cellular response. The contact angle tests of PHBHHx revealed that the hydrophilicity of the membrane was decreased following triacetin blending. Modification of the PHBHHx membrane by blending with triacetin caused a significant decrease in cell adhesion. The cell attachment rates of PHBHHx membranes were as 95 ± 5% on the first day, 34.5 ± 0.9% on third day, and 23 ± 1.5% on the fifth day, respectively. The rates of cell attachments on PHBHHx/triacetin membranes were determined as 79 ± 2.5% for the first day, 33 ± 2.7% for the third day, and 13 ± 2.1% for the fifth day, respectively. Besides, triacetin blending decreased the surface area from 38.790 to 32.379 m2/g. The elongation at breaks was observed as 128% for PHBHHx and 171% for PHBHHx/triacetin.

Abstract
Self-assembled nanoparticles present unique properties that have potential applications in the development of a successful drug delivery system. Doxorubicin (DOX) is an important anti-neoplastic anthracycline chemotherapeutic drug widely described. However, it suffers from serious dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. d-Limonene is a major constituent of numerous citrus oils that is considered a specific monoterpene against free radicals producing antioxidant activity. Herein, we aimed to design three types of self-assembled nanodelivery systems (nanoemulsion, niosomes, and polylactide nanoparticles) for loading both DOX and d-limonene to enhance the solubilization of d-limonene and provide antioxidant activity with excellent anticancer activity. As confirmed by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy, the nanoparticles were prepared successfully with diameter sizes of 52, 180, and 257 nm for the DOX-loaded nanoemulsion, niosomes, and polylactide nanoparticles, respectively. The zeta potential values were above -30 mV in all cases, which confirms the formation of stable nanoparticles. The loading efficiency of DOX was the highest in the case of the DOX-loaded nanoemulsion (75.8%), followed by niosomes (62.8%), and the least was in the case of polylactide nanoparticles with a percentage of 50.2%. The in vitro release study of the DOX-loaded nanoparticles showed a sustained release profile of doxorubicin with the highest release in the case of DOX-loaded PDLLA nanoparticles. The kinetic release model for all developed nanoparticles was the Peppas-Sahlin model, demonstrating DOX release through Fickian diffusion phenomena. Moreover, all developed nanoparticles maintain the antioxidant activity of d-limonene. The cytotoxicity study of the DOX-loaded nanoparticles showed concentration-dependent anticancer activity with excellent anticancer activity in the case of the DOX-loaded nanoemulsion and polylactide nanoparticles. These nanoparticles will be further studied in vivo to prove the cardioprotective effect of d-limonene in combination with DOX.

Abstract
Biogenic synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) using plant extracts has emerged as a promising alternative approach to traditional chemical synthesis. The current study aims to introduce a safe, low-cost, and green synthesis of SeNPs using fresh fruit extract of Vaccinium arctostaphylos L. The biogenic synthesis of SeNPs was confirmed by different analyses including ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared, and energy-dispersive X-ray. Also, the crystalline nature, size, and morphology of the obtained SeNPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The SeNPs were successfully synthesized with fruit extract of V. arctostaphylos L. in a regular spherical form and narrow size distribution with suitable zeta-potential values and exhibited appropriate biocompatibility. It revealed that the synthesized SeNPs can significantly inhibit the growth of 4T1 breast cancer cells with an IC50 of ∼84.19 ± 25.96 µg/ml after 72 h treatment. Overall, it can be concluded that the green synthesized SeNPs can be attractive, nontoxic, and eco-friendly candidates for drug delivery or medicinal applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Silibinin (SIL) has been extensively studied for its therapeutic effects on various liver diseases. However, its effect on acute liver injury was limited for poor solubility and low bioavailability. Thus, we prepared SIL and bovine serum albumin (SIL/BSA) nanoparticles and further evaluated their therapeutic efficacy against acute liver injury in mouse models. METHODS SIL/BSA nanoparticles were prepared via a nanoprecipitation method. Both in vitro cell culture model and in vivo mouse models of acetaminophen (APAP) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced acute liver injury were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of SIL/BSA nanoparticles and potential mechanisms. RESULTS The SIL/BSA nanoparticles with hydrophilic diameters of 90 ± 29 nm were stably suspended. SIL/BSA nanoparticles presented better biocompatibility and more liver distribution in vivo than SIL microparticles. SIL/BSA nanoparticles significantly alleviated APAP and LPS/D-GalN induced acute liver injury in mice. Similarly, SIL/BSA nanoparticles remarkably enhanced the viability of hepatocytes in vitro against both APAP and LPS/D-GalN induced hepatocyte damage. Moreover, SIL/BSA nanoparticles exhibited antioxidant effects against intracellular oxidative stress via upregulating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant responsive element (ARE) pathway, decreasing ROS and regulating antioxidant enzyme reactivity. And the downstream of mitochondria damage and caspase 9/3 related apoptosis pathway was also inhibited CONCLUSION: SIL/BSA nanoparticles were successfully prepared to enhance the liver availability of SIL. Both in vivo and in vitro, SIL/BSA nanoparticles exerted ideal hepatoprotective and antioxidant efficacy against acute liver injury, suggesting the promising future in clinical transfer. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE In our study, we prepared small-size, stable and well-dispersed silibinin/bovine serum albumin (SIL/BSA) nanoparticles via using simple and cost-effective nanoprecipitation techniques. Their physicochemical and pharmacokinetic characteristics were analyzed. We systematically studied the hepatoprotective and antioxidant efficacy of SIL/BSA both in vivo and in vitro, using two acute liver injury models. These findings revealed that SIL/BSA nanoparticles exerted ideal hepatoprotective and antioxidant efficacy against acute liver injury, suggesting the promising future in clinical transfer.

Abstract
Gel microemulsion combines the advantages of the microemulsion, which can encapsulate, protect and deliver large quantities of active ingredients, and the gel, which is so appreciated in the cosmetic industry. This study aimed to develop and characterize new gel microemulsions suitable for topical cosmetic applications, using grape seed oil as the oily phase, which is often employed in pharmaceuticals, especially in cosmetics. The optimized microemulsion was formulated using Tween 80 and Plurol® Diisostearique CG as a surfactant mix and ethanol as a co-solvent. Three different water-soluble polymers were selected in order to increase the viscosity of the microemulsion: Carbopol® 980 NF, chitosan, and sodium hyaluronate salt. All used ingredients are safe, biocompatible and biodegradable. Curcumin was chosen as a model drug. The obtained systems were physico-chemically characterized by means of electrical conductivity, dynamic light scattering, polarized microscopy and rheometric measurements. Evaluation of the cytotoxicity was accomplished by MTT assay. In the final phase of the study, the release behavior of Curcumin from the optimized microemulsion and two gel microemulsions was evaluated. Additionally, mathematical models were applied to establish the kinetic release mechanism. The obtained gel microemulsions could be effective systems for incorporation and controlled release of the hydrophobic active ingredients.

Abstract
Aim: To compare the efficacy and safety of 2-weekly nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nP) and 3-weekly docetaxel regimens as neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) for breast cancer. Materials & methods: Patients (n = 201) received NST comprising either dose-dense epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by 2-weekly nP (n = 104) or 3-weekly courses of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel (n = 97). Results: Higher pathological complete response rates were achieved by the nP group. Subgroup analysis showed that the nP-based regimen achieved higher pathological complete response rates in patients with triple-negative tumor cells and high Ki67 levels. However, grades 3-4 peripheral sensory neuropathies were more frequent in the nP group. Conclusion: The 2-weekly nP-based regimen might be a better choice of NST for patients with breast cancer.

Abstract
Recently, advances in the synthesis and development of multifunctional nanoparticle platforms have opened up great opportunities and advantages for specifically targeted delivery of genes of interest. BSA-coated niosome structures (NISM@B) can potentially improve the efficiency in vitro delivery of nucleic acid molecules and the transfection of genes. Few studies have reported the combined use of niosomes with nucleic acid as therapeutic agents or decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs). Herein, we synthesized NISM@B to encapsulate NANOG decoy ODN (NISM@B-DEC), after which the physicochemical characteristics and in vitro and in vivo properties of NISM@B-DEC were investigated. Our results regarding physicochemical characteristics revealed that the stable niosome nanocarrier system was successfully synthesized with a regular spherical shape and narrow size distribution with proper zeta-potential values and had an appropriate biocompatibility. The ODN release from the niosome nanocarrier system exhibited controlled and pH-dependent behavior as the best models to explain the ODN release profile. NISM@B-DEC was efficiently taken up by human glioblastoma cells (U87) and significantly inhibited cell growth. Finally, blockage of the NANOG pathway by NISM@B-DEC resulted in G1 cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and cell death. In addition, NISM@B-DEC caused a significant decrease in tumor formation and improved wound-healing efficiency of the U87 cells. These findings confirm that NISM@B-DEC could potentially suppress the metastatic ability of these cells. It can be concluded that the presented nanocarrier system can be a promising approach for targeted gene delivery in cancer therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The combinational therapy is often considered as a desire in chemotherapy despite some limitations. This study aimed to encapsulate two natural-based drugs, curcumin (CUR), and piperine (PIP) into highly biocompatible albumin nanoparticles for anticancer applications. SIGNIFICANCE A simultaneous exertion of CUR and PIP in a biocompatible drug delivery system with the minimum side effects and no limitations was achievable in this work for cancer treatment. METHODS Curcumin and piperine co-loaded human serum albumin nanoparticles (CUR-PIP-HSA-NPs) were synthesized by the self-assembly method. The effectiveness of the codelivery system was evaluated physically, chemically, and pharmaceutically. Moreover, the anticancer activity of CUR-PIP-HSA-NPs was studied on MCF-7 cells by MTT assay. RESULTS CUR-PIP-HSA-NPs showed appropriate stability with an average particle size of 154.7 ± 5.2 nm. Loading of drugs was demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses. The drug encapsulation efficiencies (DEEs) of CUR and PIP in NPs were 85.3% ± 1.46% and 81.7%, ± 1.67%, respectively. Furthermore, the drug loading efficiency (DLE) of CUR-PIP-HSA-NPs was 8.71% ± 0.24%. The circular dichroism (CD) examination of the NPs confirmed that the conformational structure of albumin remained unchanged during the synthesis. In addition, the cytotoxicity experiments demonstrated the high potential of CUR-PIP-HSA-NPs against breast cancer (MCF-7) cells in the presence of PIP as both bioenhancer and anticancer drug with the capability of suppressing the effect of multidrug resistance (MDR). CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that CUR-PIP-HSA-NPs can be employed as a practical drug delivery system in cancer treatment with synergistic effects of both CUR and PIP.

Abstract
To reduce systemic bleeding risks during anticoagulant treatment, a new concept named "precise anticoagulation" was proposed to localize the effects of anticoagulants via the targeted delivery of prodrugs to the coagulation site. In this study, the fusion protein Annexin V-hirudin 3-ABD (hAvHA) was constructed to achieve the prolonged circulation and targeted delivery of hirudin to coagulation sites. hAvHA was inactive as a prodrug, and it could bind to albumin during circulation. The drug was quickly activated via factor Xa-mediated cleavage once coagulation occurred, and hirudin was efficiently released to exert antithrombin activity in vitro. The hAvHA protein could be activated in mouse blood and exert significant anticoagulation effects. The results of FITC labeling illustrated that hAvHA bound to procoagulant platelets, suggesting the Annexin V modification permits targeted delivery to sites of thrombosis. hAvHA bound to albumin in vitro with an equilibrium dissociation constant of 8 pM, suggesting the ABD modification permitted prolonged circulation in vivo. Moreover, the bleeding time was much shorter in hAvHA-treated mice than in hirudin-treated mice. Therefore, our results suggested that that hAvHA is a potential and promising anticoagulant in vivo.

Abstract
In the present study, we introduced cholesterol (CLO)-conjugated bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs) as a new system for indirect targeting drug delivery. Tamoxifen, as an anticancer drug, was loaded on BSA NPs (BSA-TAX NPs); CLO was then conjugated to the BSA-TAX NPs surface for the targeted delivery of NPs system, by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxy succinimide carbodiimide chemistry (CLO-BSA-TAX NPs). The physicochemical properties, toxicity, in vitro, and in vivo biocompatibility of the BSA NPs system were characterized on cancer cell lines (4T1). The results revealed that the BSA NPs system has a regular spherical shape and negative zeta-potential values. The drug release of BSA NPs system has shown controlled and pH-dependent drug release behavior. BSA NPs system was biocompatible but it was potentially toxic on the cancer cell line. The CLO-BSA-TAX NPs exhibited higher toxicity against cancer cell lines than other NPs formulation (BSA NPs and BSA-TAX NPs). It can be concluded that the CLO, as an indirect targeting agent, enhances the toxicity and specificity of NPs system on cancer cell lines. It could potentially be suitable approaches to targeting the tumors in clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanoencapsulation is an approach to circumvent shortcomings such as reduced bioavailability, undesirable side effects, frequent dosing and unpleasant organoleptic properties of conventional drug delivery systems. The process of nanoencapsulation involves the use of biomaterials such as surfactants and/or polymers, often in combination with charge inducers and/or ligands for targeting. The biomaterials selected for nanoencapsulation processes must be as biocompatible as possible. The type(s) of biomaterials used for different nanoencapsulation approaches are highlighted and their use and applicability with regard to haemo- and, histocompatibility, cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and carcinogenesis are discussed.

Mol Biol Rep 2020; 47:6517-6529.

Abstract
The current study intends to investigate a novel drug delivery system (DDS) based on niosomes structure (NISM) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) which was formulated to BSA coated NISM (NISM-B). Also, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have been prepared by BSA mediated biosynthesis. Finally, the NISM-B was hybridized with SeNPs and was formulated as NISM-B@SeNPs for drug delivery applications. Physicochemical properties of all samples were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, DLS, FESEM, and EDX techniques. The cytotoxicity of all samples against A549 cell line was assessed by cell viability analysis and flow cytometry for apoptotic cells as well as RT-PCR for the expression of MDR-1, Bax, and Bcl-2 genes. Besides, in vivo biocompatibility was performed by LD50 assay to evaluate the acute toxicity. The proposed formulation has a regular spherical shape and approximately narrow size distribution with proper zeta-potential values; the proposed DDS revealed a good biocompatibility. The compound showed a significant cytotoxic effect against A549 cell line. Although the Bax/Bcl-2 expression ratio was significantly in NISM-B@SeNPs- treated cancer cells, the expression of MDR-1 was non-significantly lower in NISM-B@SeNPs-treated cancer cells. The obtained results suggest that the proposed DDS presents a promising approach for drug delivery, co-delivery and multifunctional biomedicine applications.
