Chitosan/dextran-based organohydrogel delivers EZH2 inhibitor to epigenetically reprogram chemo/immuno-resistance in unresectable metastatic melanoma. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 346:122645. [PMID: 39245506 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 08/16/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024]
Abstract
Melanoma either intrinsically possesses resistance or rapidly acquires resistance to anti-tumor therapy, which often leads to local recurrence or distant metastasis after resection. In this study, we found histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylated by an inhibitor of histone methyltransferase EZH2 could epigenetically reverse the resistance to chemo-drug paclitaxel (PTX), or enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-TIGIT via downregulating TIGIT ligand CD155. Next, to address the complexity in the combination of multiple bioactive molecules with distinct therapeutic properties, we developed a polysaccharides-based organohydrogel (OHG) configured with a heterogenous network. Therein, hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPC)-stabilized emulsions for hydrophobic drug entrapment were crosslinked with oxidized dextran (Odex) to form a hydrophilic gel matrix to facilitate antibody accommodation, which demonstrated a tunable sustained release profile by optimizing emulsion/gel volume ratios. As results, local injection of OHG loaded with EZH2 inhibitor UNC1999, PTX and anti-TIGIT did not only synergistically enhance the cytotoxicity of PTX, but also reprogrammed the immune resistance via bi-directionally blocking TIGIT/CD155 axis, leading to the recruitment of cytotoxic effector cells into tumor and conferring a systemic immune memory to prevent lung metastasis. Hence, this polysaccharides-based OHG represents a potential in-situ epigenetic-, chemo- and immunotherapy platform to treat unresectable metastatic melanoma.

An oil-in-gel type of organohydrogel loaded with methylprednisolone for the treatment of secondary injuries following spinal cord traumas. J Control Release 2024; 374:505-524. [PMID: 39182693 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2024.08.033] [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: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 08/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
The secondary injuries following traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a multiphasic and complex process that is difficult to treat. Although methylprednisolone (MP) is the only available pharmacological regime for SCI treatment, its efficacy remains controversial due to its very narrow therapeutic time window and safety concerns associated with high dosage. In this study, we have developed an oil-in-gel type of organohydrogel (OHG) in which the binary oleic-water phases coexist, for the local delivery of MP. This new OHG is fabricated by a glycol chitosan/oxidized hyaluronic acid hydrophilic network that is uniformly embedded with a biocompatible oil phase, and it can be effectively loaded with MP or other hydrophobic compounds. In addition to spatiotemporally control MP release, this biodegradable OHG also provides a brain tissue-mimicking scaffold that can promote tissue regeneration. OHG remarkably decreases the therapeutic dose of MP in animals and extends its treatment course over 21 d, thereby timely manipulating microglia/macrophages and their associated with signaling molecules to restore immune homeostasis, leading to a long-term functional improvement in a complete transection SCI rat model. Thus, this OHG represents a new type of gel for clinical treatment of secondary injuries in SCI.

Abstract
Nowadays, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, conductive hydrogel-based sensors play an increasingly vital role in health monitoring and temperature sensing. However, the perfect integration of the environmental stability and applied performance of the hydrogel has always been a challenging and significant problem. Herein, we report an environmentally tolerant, stretchable, adhesive, self-healing conductive gel through multiple dynamic interactions in the water/glycerol/ionic liquids medium, which can be used as a high-performance strain and temperature sensor. The random copolymer poly(acrylic acid-co-acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate) interacts with the branched poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) and Zr4+ ions via the dynamic covalent enamine bonds, coordinations, and electrostatic interactions to improve stretchable (1300%), compressible, fatigue-resistant (1000 cycles at 50% strain), and self-healing performance (95%, 24 h). The combination of water/glycerol/ionic liquids imparts the resulting gel with excellent electrical conductivity, anti-drying, and anti-freezing performance. By means of the above excellent performance, the gel could be used as the flexible strain or pressure sensor with high sensitivity and stability for the detection of the movement, expression, handwriting, pronouncing, and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals in various models. Meanwhile, the resulting gel can be assembled as the temperature sensor to trace the change of temperature accurately and steadily, which has a wide operating window (0 to 100 °C), an ultralow detection limit (0.2 °C), and high sensitivity (2.1% °C-1). It is believed that the strategy for the multifunction and high-performance gel will blaze a new trail for the smart device in health management, temperature detection, and information transmission under various environmental conditions.

Abstract
The wound healing process is usually susceptible to different bacterial infections due to the complex physiological environment, which significantly impairs wound healing. The topical application of antibiotics is not desirable for wound healing because the excessive use of antibiotics might cause bacteria to develop resistance and even the production of super bacteria, posing significant harm to human well-being. Wound dressings based on adhesive, biocompatible, and multi-functional hydrogels with natural antibacterial agents have been widely recognized as effective wound treatments. Hydrogels, which are three-dimensional (3D) polymer networks cross-linked through physical interactions or covalent bonds, are promising for topical antibacterial applications because of their excellent adhesion, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility. To further improve the healing performance of hydrogels, various modification methods have been developed with superior biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, mechanical properties, and wound repair capabilities. This review summarizes hundreds of typical studies on various ingredients, preparation methods, antibacterial mechanisms, and internal antibacterial factors to understand adhesive hydrogels with natural antibacterial agents for wound dressings. Additionally, we provide prospects for adhesive and antibacterial hydrogels in biomedical applications and clinical research.

Abstract
Among the factors that delay the wound healing process in chronic wounds, bacterial infections are a common cause of acute wounds becoming chronic. Various therapeutic agents, such as antibiotics, metallic nanoparticles, and essential oils have been employed to treat infected wounds and also prevent the wounds from bacterial invasion. Essential oils are promising therapeutic agents with excellent wound healing, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities, and good soothing effects. Some essential oils become chemically unstable when exposed to light, heat, oxygen, and moisture. The stability and biological activity of essential oil can be preserved via loading into hydrogels. The polymer-based hydrogels loaded with bioactive agents are regarded as ideal wound dressings with unique features, such as controlled and sustained drug release mechanisms, good antibacterial activity, non-toxicity, excellent cytocompatibility, good porosity, moderate water vapour transmission rate, etc. This review addresses the pre-clinical outcomes of hydrogels loaded with essential oils in the treatment of infected wounds.

Abstract
Emulsion hydrogels are structurally composite materials combining the advantages of emulsions and hydrogels with the ability to accommodate hydrophobic and hydrophilic components in one system. It is a promising strategy for the excellent encapsulation and delivery of many bioactive ingredients. In this work, the thyme oil-loaded zwitterionic emulsion hydrogels are constructed by the cellulose acetoacetate-horseradish peroxidase-hydrogen peroxide-initiated (CAA-HRP-H2O2-initiated) ternary enzyme-mediated polymerization of the thyme oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions stabilized by cellulose acetoacetate (CAA). CAA is the key component in the system, acting as the emulsifier and the polymerization mediator simultaneously. The formed zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) hydrogel network provides emulsion hydrogels with good hydration capacity and potential anti-fouling performance. The thyme oil-loaded zwitterionic emulsion hydrogels exhibit interconnected, uniform, and adjustable porous structures with tunable mechanical properties, antifouling performance, good biocompatibility, and excellent antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli. These results all demonstrate that the ternary enzyme-mediated polymerization of zwitterionic monomers in the continuous phase of O/W emulsion templates is a facile and efficient strategy to encapsulate hydrophobic bioactive ingredients.

Abstract
With each passing year, the agriculture and wood processing industries generate increasingly high tonnages of biomass waste, which instead of being burned or left to accumulate should be utilized more sustainably. In parallel, advances in green technology have encouraged large companies and nations to begin using eco-friendly materials, including eco-friendly emulsifiers, which are used in various industries and in bio-based materials. The emulsion-conducive properties of lignocellulosic materials such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, the building blocks of plant and wood structures, have demonstrated a particular ability to alter the landscape of emulsion technology. Beyond that, the further modification of their structure may improve emulsion stability, which often determines the performance of emulsions. Considering those trends, this review examines the performance of lignocellulosic materials after modification according to their stability, droplet size, and distribution by size, all of which suggest their outstanding potential as materials for emulsifying agents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With increases in implant infections, the search for antibacterial and biofilm coatings has become a new interest for orthopaedists and dentists. In recent years, graphene oxide (GO) has been extensively studied for its superior antibacterial properties. However, most of these studies have focused on solutions and there are few antibacterial studies on metal surfaces, especially the surfaces of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloys. ε-Poly-L-lysine (ε-PLL), as a novel food preservative, has a spectrum of antimicrobial activity; however, its antimicrobial activity after coating an implant surface is not clear. METHODS In this study, for the first time, a two-step electrodeposition method was used to coat GO and ε-PLL on the surface of a CoCrMo alloy. Its antibacterial and antibiofilm properties against S. aureus and E. coli were then studied. RESULTS The results show that the formation of bacteria and biofilms on the coating surface was significantly inhibited, GO and ε-PLL composite coatings had the best antibacterial and antibiofilm effects, followed by ε-PLL and GO coatings. In terms of classification, the coatings are anti-adhesive and contact-killing/inhibitory surfaces. In addition to oxidative stress, physical damage to GO and electrostatic osmosis of ε-PLL are the main antibacterial and antibiofilm mechanisms. DISCUSSION This is the first study that GO and ε-PLL coatings were successfully prepared on the surface of CoCrMo alloy by electrodeposition. It provides a promising new approach to the problem of implant infection in orthopedics and stomatology.

Abstract
Infections resulting from bacteria and biofilms have become a huge problem threatening human health. In recent years, the antibacterial and antibiofilm effects of graphene and its derivatives have been extensively studied. However, there continues to be some controversy over whether graphene and its derivatives can resist infection and biofilms. Moreover, the antibacterial mechanism and cytotoxicity of graphene and its derivatives are unclear. In the present review, antibacterial and antibiofilm abilities of graphene and its derivatives in solution, on the surface are reviewed, and their toxicity and possible mechanisms are also reviewed. Furthermore, we propose possible future development directions for graphene and its derivatives in antibacterial and antibiofilm applications.

Abstract
The effect of the degree of substitution (DS) on the aqueous solubility of cellulose acetoacetates (CAA) was investigated by molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations. Using average non-covalent interaction and the electrostatic potential analyses done on cellobiose as the model, it was showed both polar and non-polar areas of the system increased as the more hydroxyls were replaced by acetoacetate groups. Analyses of the solvation free energies of a celludecose (glucan containing 10 monosaccharide sugar units) at constant pressure and temperature showed the polar solvation free energies and the number of decose-water hydrogen bonds increased as DS was varied from 0.3 to 0.8, which contributes to higher solubility in water. When the DS of CAA increased from 0.8 to 1.5, it became insoluble again because the plateaued increase in solvation free energy could no longer compensate for the decreasing CAA-water hydrogen bonding interactions. The growing van der Waals interactions among CAA molecules as the molecule grows bigger with each attached AA group also contributes to the decreasing water solubility.

Abstract
Wound healing is usually accompanied by bacterial infection. The excessive use of synthetic antibiotics leads to drug resistance, posing a significant threat to human health. Hydrogel-based wound dressings aimed at mitigating bacterial infections have emerged as an effective wound treatment. The review presented herein particularly focuses on the hydrogels originating from natural polymers. To further enhance the performance of wound dressings, various strategies and approaches have been developed to endow the hydrogels with excellent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Those that are summarized in the current review are the hydrogels with intrinsic or stimuli-triggered bactericidal properties and others that serve as vehicles for loading antibacterial agents without synthetic antibiotics. Specific attention is paid to antimicrobial mechanisms and the antibacterial performance of hydrogels. Practical antibacterial applications to accelerate the wound healing employing these antibiotic-free hydrogels are also introduced along with the discussion on the current challenges and perspectives leading to new technologies.
