Seres L, Csapó E, Varga N, Juhász Á. The Effect of Concentration, Temperature, and pH on the Formation of Hyaluronic Acid-Surfactant Nanohydrogels. Gels 2023; 9:529. [PMID: 37504408 PMCID: PMC10379036 DOI: 10.3390/gels9070529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The assembly of colloidal hyaluronic acid (HyA, as a polysaccharide) based hydrogel particles in an aqueous medium is characterized in the present paper, with an emphasis on the particular case of nanohydrogels formed by surfactant-neutralized polysaccharide networks. The structural changes and particle formation process of polysaccharide- and cationic-surfactant-containing systems were induced by the charge neutralization ability and the hydrophobic interactions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) under different conditions. Based on the rheological, light scattering, ζ-potential, turbidity, and charge titration measurements, it can be concluded that the preparation of the HyA-CTAB particles can be greatly controlled. The results indicate that more available negative charges can be detected on the polymer chain at smaller initial amounts of HyA (cHyA < 0.10 mg/mL), where a molecular solution can be formed. The change in the pH has a negligible effect on the formation process (particle aggregation appears at nCTAB/nHyA,monomer~1.0 in every case), while the temperature dependence of the critical micelle concentration (c.m.c.) of CTAB determines the complete neutralization of the forming nanohydrogels. The results of our measurements confirm that after the appearance of stable colloidal particles, a structural change and aggregation of the polymer particles take place, and finally the complete charge neutralization of the system occurs.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide which has been extensively exploited in biomedical fields owing to its outstanding biocompatibility. Self-assembly of HA and polycations through electrostatic interactions can generate colloidal polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs), which can offer a wide range of applications while being relatively simple to prepare with rapid and "green" processes. The advantages of colloidal HA-based PECs stem from the combined benefits of nanomedicine, green chemistry, and the inherent properties of HA, namely high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and biological targeting capability. Accordingly, colloidal PECs from HA have received increasing attention in the recent years as high-performance materials for biomedical applications. Considering their potential, this review is aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of colloidal PECs from HA in complex with polycations, from the most fundamental aspects of the preparation process to their various biomedical applications, notably as nanocarriers for delivering small molecule drugs, nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, and bioimaging agents or the construction of multifunctional platforms.

Abstract
10-Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) is a natural plant alkaloid from Camptotheca that shows potent antitumor activity by targeting intracellular topoisomerase I. However, factors such as instability of the lactone ring and insolubility in water have limited the clinical application of this drug. In recent years, unprecedented advances in biomedical nanotechnology have facilitated the development of nano drug delivery systems. It has been found that nanomedicine can significantly improve the stability and water solubility of HCPT. NanoMedicines with different diagnostic and therapeutic functions have been developed to significantly improve the anticancer effect of HCPT. In this paper, we collected reports on HCPT nanomedicines against tumors in the past decade. Based on current research advances, we dissected the current status and limitations of HCPT nanomedicines development and looked forward to future research directions.

Abstract
Hybrid nanoparticles composed of different biopolymers for delivery of enzyme/prodrug systems are of interest for cancer therapy. Hyaluronic acid-coated chitosan nanoparticles (CS/HA NP) were prepared to encapsulate individually an enzyme/pro-drug complex based on horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). CS/HA NP showed size around 158 nm and increase to 170 and 200 nm after IAA and HRP encapsulation, respectively. Nanoparticles showed positive zeta potential values (between +20.36 mV and +24.40 mV) and higher encapsulation efficiencies for both nanoparticles (up to 90 %) were obtained. Electron microscopy indicated the formation of spherical particles with smooth surface characteristic. Physicochemical and thermal characterizations suggest the encapsulation of HRP and IAA. Kinetic parameters for encapsulated HRP were similar to those of the free enzyme. IAA-CS/HA NP showed a bimodal release profile of IAA with a high initial release (72 %) followed by a slow-release pattern. The combination of HRP-CS/HA NP and IAA- CS/HA NP reduced by 88 % the cell viability of human bladder carcinoma cell line (T24) in the concentrations 0.5 mM of pro-drug and 1.2 μg/mL of the enzyme after 24 h.

Abstract
Nanotechnology-based modification of known antimicrobial agents is a rational and straightforward way to improve their safety and effectiveness. The aim of this study was to develop colistin (CT)-loaded polymeric carriers based on hyaluronic acid (HA) for potential application as antimicrobial agents against multi-resistant gram-negative microorganisms (including ESKAPE pathogens). CT-containing particles were obtained via a polyelectrolyte interaction between protonated CT amino groups and HA carboxyl groups (the CT-HA complex formation constant [logKCT-HA] was about 5.0). The resulting polyelectrolyte complexes had a size of 210-250 nm and a negative charge (ζ-potential -19 mV), with encapsulation and loading efficiencies of 100% and 20%, respectively. The developed CT delivery systems were characterized by modified release (45% and 85% of CT released in 15 and 60 min, respectively) compared to pure CT (100% CT released in 15 min). In vitro tests showed that the encapsulation of CT in polymer particles did not reduce its pharmacological activity; the minimum inhibitory concentrations of both encapsulated CT and pure CT were 1 μg/mL (against Pseudomonas aeruginosa).

Abstract
PEGylated stealth nanoparticles have emerged as promising drug delivery carrier for cancer therapy. In this study, natural polycationic chitosan was grafted with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to improve the water-solubility and long-circulation. Then PEGylated chitosan nanoparticles were formed by electrostatic interaction between sulfonic acid group of anionic functional polymer and protic amino group of PEGylated chitosan, using polyelectrolyte complex method. Effects of various factors on particle size and distribution, and the stability, biocompatibility, long-circulation ability were investigated. The results showed that when the concentration of PEGylated chitosan and anionic polymer was 0.20 mg/mL, pH of PEGylated chitosan was 5.0, pH of polymer was 5.5 and molar ratio (S/N) was 0.83, particle size of the prepared nanoparticles was 261.2 ± 5.5 nm with pdI of 0.070. Nanoparticles were relatively stable for more than 4 days under pH < 7.0 and normal saline conditions. The results of cytotoxicity experiments showed that the toxicity of PEGylated chitosan nanoparticles was greatly reduced, which met the basic requirements of biomedical materials. The cellular uptake efficiency of PEGylated chitosan nanoparticles was about 4 times lower than that of conventional chitosan nanoparticles, which indicated long circulation time of PEGylated chitosan nanoparticles in the blood. It was expected that this kind of stealth nanoparticles would have a broad application prospect in the field of drug delivery system.

Abstract
Owing to their unique biological functions, hyaluronic acid (HA) and its derivatives have been explored extensively for biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and molecular imaging. In particular, self-assembled HA nanoparticles (HA-NPs) have been used widely as target-specific and long-acting nanocarriers for the delivery of a wide range of therapeutic or diagnostic agents. Recently, it has been demonstrated that empty HA-NPs without bearing any therapeutic agent can be used therapeutically for the treatment of inflammatory diseases via modulating inflammatory responses. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of the significant achievements in this field and highlight the potential of HA-NPs for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
In this study, three different chitosan, namely carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPC) and trimethyl chitosan (TMC) were used as cationic materials to prepare tetrandrine lipid nanoparticles (TET-LNPs) for the treatment of glaucoma. In vitro drug release and pre-corneal retention were used to select the optimal chitosan. In vitro drug release curves of three kinds of LNPs showed a sustained release and TMC-TET-LNPs were the slowest. Moreover, compared with CMC-TET-LNPs and HPC-TET-LNPs, TMC-TET-LNPs had longer corneal retention time. Afterwards, the characteristics of TMC-TET-LNPs were investigated. The ocular irritation study revealed no sign of irritation in rabbit eyes. The pharmacokinetic studies showed that the area under the curve of TMC-TET-LNPs was increased by 2.03 times than TET solution (p < 0.01). Furthermore, the drug biofilm interactions were evaluated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. In MD simulation, the strong hydrophobic group of TET interacted with the tail of POPC, making it hard to enter the hydrophobic region of the membrane, thereby restricting TET ocular bioavailability. The experiments and MD simulation indicated that TMC-TET-LNPs had great potential for ocular administration and MD simulation could predict transmembrane transport of drugs.

Abstract
Zwitterionic modification can prolong the blood circulation time of nanocarrier in vivo, but zwitterionic content will affect the functions of nanocarrier such as enzyme-responsive and intracellular or extracellular delivery. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the relationship between the zwitterionic content and circulation time of nanocarrier so as to figure out what content of zwitterion can enable the nanocarrier to obtain both the long blood circulation ability and other functions mentioned above. Herein, using nanocapsule as a research model, we investigated the nanocapsule modified with zwitterion of phosphorylcholine (PC) or carboxybetaine (CB) respectively, and through 1H-NMR quantification we determined the zwitterionic surface content, so as to study the effect of PC or CB surface content on blood circulation performance of nanocapsule. In vivo study showed that the nanocapsule possessed an optimal surface filling ratios range for blood circulation of 43-68% for PC and of 20-68% for CB, with the longest t1/2=37.35 h for PC-nanocapsule and t1/2=45.27 h for CB-nanocapsule. Furthermore, the protein adsorption and macrophage endocytosis experiments indicated that when the surface filling ratio reached 43% for PC-nanocapsule and 20% for CB-nanocapsule, it could effectively reduce the protein adsorption and weaken macrophage endocytosis, thus explaining the phenomenon of long circulation time of nanocapsules from the point of protein adsorption and interaction with immune cells. This study proposes a new direction for designing long-circulating nanocarrier, and provides basis for constructing enzyme-responsive and intracellular or extracellular delivery platform.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) due to P-glycoprotein (P-gp) overexpression is a major obstacle to successful leukemia chemotherapy. The combination of anticancer chemotherapy with a chemosensitizer of P-gp inhibitor is promising to overcome MDR, generate synergistic effects, and maximize the treatment effect. Herein, we co-encapsulated a chemotherapeutic drug of mitoxantrone (MTO) and a P-gp inhibitor of β-elemene (βE) in solid lipid nanoparticles (MTO/βE-SLNs) for reversing MDR in leukemia. The MTO/βE-SLNs with about 120 nm particle size possessed good colloidal stability and sustained release behavior. For the cellular uptake study, doxorubicin (DOX) was used as a fluorescence probe to construct SLNs. The results revealed that MTO/βE-SLNs could be effectively internalized by both K562/DOX and K562 cells through the pathway of caveolate-mediated endocytosis. Under the optimized combination ratio of MTO and βE, the in vitro cytotoxicity study indicated that MTO/βE-SLNs showed a better antitumor efficacy in both K562/DOX and K562 cells than other MTO formulations. The enhanced cytotoxicity of MTO/βE-SLNs was due to the increased cellular uptake and blockage of intracellular ATP production and P-gp efflux by βE. More importantly, the in vivo studies revealed that MTO/βE-SLNs could significantly prolong the circulation time and increase plasma half-life of both MTO and βE, accumulate into tumor and exhibit a much higher anti-leukemia effect with MDR than other MTO formulations. These findings suggest MTO/βE-SLNs as a potential combined therapeutic strategy for overcoming MDR in leukemia.

Abstract
Tailoring combinatorial therapies along with real-time monitoring strategies has been the major focus of overcoming multidrug resistance in cancer. However, attempting to develop a multifunctional nanoplatform in a single construct leads to compromising therapeutic outcomes. Herein, we developed a simple, theranostic nanoassembly containing a hyaluronic acid-stabilized redox-sensitive (HART) polyethylenimine polyplex composed of a doxorubicin (DOX) intercalated Bcl-2 shRNA encoded plasmid along with a green-synthesized hausmannite (Mn3O4) and hematite (Fe3O4) nanoparticle (GMF). The highly stable HART nanoassembly has enhanced CD44-mediated intracellular uptake along with hyaluronidase (hylase) and redox-responsive drug-gene release. With Bcl-2 gene silencing induced by the successful delivery of HART in multidrug-resistant MCF7 breast cancer cells, the synergistic cytotoxic effect of Bcl-2 silencing and DOX was achieved. In addition, the HART nanoassembly containing GMF exhibited excellent dual MRI contrast (T1/T2) by reducing artifact signals. Overall, the HART nanoassembly with its enhanced theranostic properties has the potential to improve the therapeutic efficacy in future preclinical and clinical trials.

Novel Delivery of Mitoxantrone with Hydrophobically Modified Pullulan Nanoparticles to Inhibit Bladder Cancer Cell and the Effect of Nano-drug Size on Inhibition Efficiency. NANOSCALE RESEARCH LETTERS 2018; 13:345. [PMID: 30377872 PMCID: PMC6207605 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-018-2769-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2018] [Accepted: 10/21/2018] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Reducing the dosage of chemotherapeutic drugs via enhancing the delivery efficiency using novel nanoparticles has great potential for cancer treatment. Here, we focused on improving mitoxantrone delivery by using cholesterol-substituted pullulan polymers (CHPs) and selected a suitable nano-drug size to inhibit the growth of bladder cancer cells. We synthesized three kinds of CHPs, named CHP-1, CHP-2, CHP-3. Their chemical structures were identified by NMR, and the degree of cholesterol substitution was 6.82%, 5.78%, and 2.74%, respectively. Their diameters were 86.4, 162.30, and 222.28 nm. We tested the release rate of mitoxantrone in phosphate-buffered saline for 48 h: the release rate was 38.73%, 42.35%, and 58.89% for the three CHPs. The hydrophobic substitution degree in the polymer was associated with the self-assembly process of the nanoparticles, which affected their size and therefore drug release rate. The release of the three drug-loaded nanoparticles was significantly accelerated in acid release media. The larger the nanoparticle, the greater the drug release velocity. At 24 h, the IC50 value was 0.25 M, for the best inhibition of mitoxantrone on bladder cancer cells.3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) experiments demonstrated that drug-loaded CHP-3 nanoparticles with the largest size were the most toxic to bladder cancer cells. Immunofluorescence and flow cytometry revealed that drug-loaded CHP-3 nanoparticles with the largest size had the strongest effect on promoting apoptosis of bladder cancer cells. Also, the three drug-loaded nanoparticles could all inhibit the migration of MB49 cells, with large-size CHP-3 nanoparticles having the most powerful inhibition.
