[PMID: 39085678 DOI: 10.1007/s12035-024-04372-5] [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: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is an incorrigible neuropsychiatric disorder with reduced cognition and motor abnormalities. Piperine (PIP) is an alkaloid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective activities; however, poor therapeutic efficacy limits its further use. The current study focuses on the enhanced therapeutic potential of PIP@CM against an experimental zebrafish model of HD. PIP@CM was fabricated using spray drying technology, followed by solid-state investigations. We performed in vitro release and in vitro antioxidant activity (DPPH assay) of PIP and PIP@CMs. In addition, in vivo studies were conducted on zebrafish using 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA) (60 mg/kg) as a neurotoxin and treated with PIP (5 mg/kg) and PIP@CM (25 mg/kg equivalent to 5 mg/kg PIP). After dosing, various in vivo studies (behavioral, biochemical, and histological) were conducted. The solid-state characterization techniques revealed the loss of crystallinity after micelles formation. In vitro release and antioxidant assays showed higher release and enhanced activity of PIP@CM. In vivo studies revealed that 3-NPA administration causes HD, as evidenced by the results of open field test (OFT) and novel tank diving test (NTD) tests. Moreover, 3-NPA causes an increase in oxidative stress, as confirmed by biochemical and histopathological studies. PIP@CM treatment significantly improved behavioral performance in OFT and NTD tests and reduced oxidative stress markers as compared to pure PIP and untreated HD model.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the pure casein fraction of milk protein, particularly β-casein due to its physicochemical properties as well as its bio- and techno-functional properties. The utilization of self-assembled β-caseins from bovine origin as nanocarriers for the delivery of nutraceutical compounds or drugs has increased dramatically. Concerning β-caseins from other milk sources, the use of hypoallergenic donkey β-caseins as a potential delivery vehicle for nutraceutical hydrophobic compounds is beginning to generate interest. The present review deals with casein micelles models, bovine and donkey β-casein molecular structures, as well as their physical-chemical properties that account for their exploitation in nutraceutics and pharmaceutics. This review work suggests the possibility of developing delivery systems for hydrophobic bioactive compounds using β-casein purified from hypoallergenic donkey milk, highlighting the potential of this protein as an innovative and promising vehicle for enhancing the enrichment and bioavailability of various bioactive substances in food products.

[PMID: 39057854 PMCID: PMC11279443 DOI: 10.3390/nano14141177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
We developed a novel site-specific bimodal MRI/fluorescence nanoparticle contrast agent targeting gastrin-releasing peptide receptors (GRPrs), which are overexpressed in aggressive prostate cancers. Biocompatible ultra-small superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles were synthesized using glucose and casein coatings, followed by conjugation with a Cy7.5-K-8AOC-BBN [7-14] peptide conjugate. The resulting USPIO(Cy7.5)-BBN nanoparticles were purified by 100 kDa membrane dialysis and fully characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) relaxivity, as well as evaluated for in vitro and in vivo binding specificity and imaging efficacy in PC-3 prostate cancer cells and xenografted tumor-bearing mice. The USPIO(Cy7.5)-BBN nanoparticles had a core diameter of 4.93 ± 0.31 nm and a hydrodynamic diameter of 35.56 ± 0.58 nm. The r2 relaxivity was measured to be 70.2 ± 2.5 s-1 mM-1 at 7T MRI. The Cy7.5-K-8AOC-BBN [7-14] peptide-to-nanoparticle ratio was determined to be 21:1. The in vitro GRPr inhibitory binding (IC50) value was 2.5 ± 0.7 nM, indicating a very high binding affinity of USPIO(Cy7.5)-BBN to the GRPr on PC-3 cells. In vivo MRI showed significant tumor-to-muscle contrast enhancement in the uptake group at 4 h (31.1 ± 3.4%) and 24 h (25.7 ± 2.1%) post-injection compared to the blocking group (4 h: 15.3 ± 2.0% and 24 h: -2.8 ± 6.8%; p < 0.005). In vivo and ex vivo near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging revealed significantly increased fluorescence in tumors in the uptake group compared to the blocking group. These findings demonstrate the high specificity of bimodal USPIO(Cy7.5)-BBN nanoparticles towards GRPr-expressing PC-3 cells, suggesting their potential for targeted imaging in aggressive prostate cancer.

Abstract
Introduction Chrysin has a wide range of biological activities, but its poor bioavailability greatly limits its use. Here, we attempted to prepare casein (cas)-based nanoparticles to promote the biotransfer of chrysin, which demonstrated better bioavailability and anti-infection activity compared to free chrysin. Methods Cas-based chrysin nanoparticles were prepared and characterized, and most of the preparation process was optimized. Then, the in vitro and in vivo release characteristics were studied, and anti-pulmonary infection activity was evaluated. Results The constructed chrysin-cas nanoparticles exhibited nearly spherical morphology with particle size and ζ potential of 225.3 nm and -33 mV, respectively. These nanoparticles showed high encapsulation efficiency and drug-loading capacity of 79.84% ± 1.81% and 11.56% ± 0.28%, respectively. In vitro release studies highlighted a significant improvement in the release profile of the chrysin-cas nanoparticles (CCPs). In vivo experiments revealed that the relative oral bioavailability of CCPs was approximately 2.01 times higher than that of the free chrysin suspension. Further investigations indicated that CCPs effectively attenuated pulmonary infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii by mitigating oxidative stress and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines levels, and the efficacy was better than that of the free chrysin suspension. Conclusion The findings underscore the advantageous bioavailability of CCPs and their protective effects against pulmonary infections. Such advancements position CCPs as a promising pharmaceutical agent and candidate for future therapeutic drug innovations.

Abstract
In our study, we developed a novel nanobiocomposite using graphene oxide (GO), casein (Cas), ZnAl layered double hydroxide (LDH), sodium alginate (Alg), and Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles. To synthesize the GO, we used a modified Hummer's method and then covalently functionalized its surface with Cas protein. The functionalized GO was combined with as-synthesized ZnAl LDH, and the composite was conjugated with alginate hydrogel through the gelation process. Finally, we magnetized the nanobiocomposite using in-situ magnetization. The nanobiocomposite was comprehensively characterized using FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, and XRD. Its biological potential was assessed through cell viability, hemolysis, and anti-biofilm assays, as well as its application in hyperthermia. The MTT assay showed high cell viability percentages for Hu02 cells after 24, 48, and 72 h of incubation. The nanobiocomposite had a hemolytic effect lower than 3.84 %, and the measured bacterial growth inhibition percentages of E. coli and S. aureus bacteria in the presence of the nanobiocomposite were 52.18 % and 55.72 %, respectively. At a concentration of 1 mg.mL-1 and a frequency of 400 kHz, the nanocomposite exhibits a remarkable specific absorption rate (SAR) of 67.04 W.g-1, showcasing its promising prospects in hyperthermia applications.

Abstract
Leukemia is a widespread hematological malignancy characterized by an elevated white blood cell count in both the blood and the bone marrow. Despite notable advancements in leukemia intervention in the clinic, a large proportion of patients, especially acute leukemia patients, fail to achieve long-term remission or complete remission following treatment. Therefore, leukemia therapy necessitates optimization to meet the treatment requirements. In recent years, a multitude of materials have undergone rigorous study to serve as delivery vectors or direct intervention agents to bolster the effectiveness of leukemia therapy. These materials include liposomes, protein-based materials, polymeric materials, cell-derived materials, and inorganic materials. They possess unique characteristics and are applied in a broad array of therapeutic modalities, including chemotherapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and other evolving treatments. Here, an overview of these materials is presented, describing their physicochemical properties, their role in leukemia treatment, and the challenges they face in the context of clinical translation. This review inspires researchers to further develop various materials that can be used to augment the efficacy of multiple therapeutic modalities for novel applications in leukemia treatment.

Abstract
Simvastatin (SV) is a statin drug that can effectively control cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular diseases. However, SV is water-insoluble, and poor oral bioavailability (<5 %). Solid self-emulsifying carrier system is more stable than liquid emulsions, facilitating to improve the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. In the present study, a solid self-emulsifying carrier stabilized by casein (Cas-SSE) was successfully used to load SV to improve its solubility in water, by formulation selection and emulsification process optimization. Compared with oral tablets, the release of SV from Cas-SSE was significantly enhanced in artificial intestinal fluid. Furthermore, everted gut sac experiments indicated some water-soluble dispersing agents such as hydroxyethyl starch (HES), were not conducive to drug absorption. Pharmacokinetic studies suggested Cas-SSE without dispersing agent has much higher relative bioavailability (184.1 % of SV and 284.5 % of simvastatin acid) than SV tablet. The present work suggests Cas-SSE is a promising drug delivery platform with good biocompatibility for improving oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs.

Abstract
All approved RNA therapeutics require parenteral delivery. Here we demonstrate an orally bioavailable formulation wherein synthetic noncoding (nc) RNA, packaged into lipid nanoparticles, is loaded into casein-chitosan (C2) micelles. We used the C2 formulation to deliver TY1, a 24-nucleotide synthetic ncRNA which targets the DNA damage response pathway in macrophages. C2-formulated TY1 (TY1C2) efficiently packages and protects TY1 against degradative enzymes. In healthy mice, oral TY1C2 was well-tolerated and nontoxic. Oral TY1C2 exhibited disease-modifying bioactivity in 2 models of tissue injury: 1) rat myocardial infarction, where a single oral dose of TY1C2 was cardioprotective, on par with intravenously-delivered TY1; and 2) mouse acute lung injury, where a single dose of TY1C2 attenuated pulmonary inflammation. Mechanistic dissection revealed that TY1C2 is not absorbed into the systemic circulation but is, instead, taken up by intestinal macrophages, namely those of the lamina propria and Peyer's patches. This route of absorption may rationalize why an antisense oligonucleotide against Factor VII, which acts on hepatocytes, is not effective when administered in the C2 formulation. Thus, some (but not all) ncRNA drugs are bioavailable when delivered by mouth. Oral RNA delivery and uptake, relying on uptake via the gastrointestinal immune system, has broad-ranging therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents are widely employed in cancer treatment because of their effectiveness in targeting DNA. However, this indiscriminate action often affects both cancerous and normal cells, leading to severe side effects and highlighting the need for innovative approaches in achieving precise drug delivery. Nanotechnology presents a promising avenue for addressing these challenges. Protein-based nanocarriers exhibit promising capabilities in the realm of cancer drug delivery with silk sericin nanoparticles standing out as a leading contender. This investigation focuses on creating a sericin-based nanocarrier (SNC) featuring surface charge reversal designed to effectively transport cisplatin (Cispt-SNC) into MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Utilizing AutoDock4.2, our molecular docking analyses identified key amino acids and revealed distinctive conformational clusters, providing insights into the drug-protein interaction landscape and highlighting the potential of sericin as a carrier for controlled drug release. The careful optimization and fabrication of sericin as the carrier material were achieved through flash nanoprecipitation, a straightforward and reproducible method that is devoid of intricate equipment. The physicochemical properties of SNCs and Cispt-SNCs, particularly concerning size, surface charge, and morphology, were evaluated using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Chemical and conformational analyses of the nanocarriers were conducted using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and circular dichroism (CD), and elemental composition analysis was performed through energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). This approach aimed to achieve the smallest nanoparticle size for Cispt-SNCs (180 nm) and high drug encapsulation efficiency (84%) at an optimal sericin concentration of 0.1% (w/v), maintaining a negative net charge at a physiological pH (7.4). Cellular uptake and cytotoxicity were investigated in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. SNCs demonstrated stability and exhibited a pH-dependent drug release behavior, aligning with the mildly acidic tumor microenvironment (pH 6.0-7.0). Efficient cellular uptake of Cispt-SNC, along with DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation, was found at pH 6, leading to cell apoptosis. These results collectively indicate the potential of SNCs for achieving controlled drug release in a tumor-specific context. Our in vitro studies reveal the cytotoxicity of both cisplatin and Cispt-SNCs on MCF-7 cells. Cisplatin significantly reduced cell viability at 10 μM concentration (IC50), and the unique combination of sericin and cisplatin showcased enhanced cell viability compared to cisplatin alone, suggesting that controlled drug release is indicated by a gradient decrease in cell viability and highlighting SNCs as promising carriers. The study underscores the promise of protein-based nanocarriers in advancing targeted drug delivery for cancer therapy.

Int J Pharm 2024; 653:123887. [PMID: 38346599 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.123887] [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: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
Proteins acting as carriers in amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) demonstrate a notable sensitivity to the spray drying process, potentially leading to changes in their conformation. The main aim of this study was to investigate the dissolution performance of ASDs based on proteins with different content of secondary structures, specifically β-sheet and α-helix structures. We prepared β-sheet-rich and α-helix-rich β-lactoglobulin (BLG), along with corresponding ASDs containing 10 wt% and 30 wt% drug loadings, through spray drying using celecoxib as the model drug. Circular dichroism and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy results revealed that even though changes in secondary structure were obtained in the spray-dried powders, the BLGs exhibited reversibility upon re-dissolving in phosphate buffer with varying pH levels. Both β-sheet-rich BLG and α-helix-rich BLG exhibited enhanced dissolution rates and higher solubility in the media with pH values far from the isoelectric point (pI) of BLG (pH 2, 7, 8, and 9) compared to the pH closer to the pI (pH 3, 4, 5, and 6). Notably, the release rate and solubility of the drug and BLG from both types of BLG-based ASDs at 10 wt% drug loading were largely dependent on the solubility of pure SD-BLGs. α-helix-rich BLG-ASDs consistently exhibited equivalent or superior performance to β-sheet-rich BLG-ASDs in terms of drug release rate and solubility, regardless of drug loading. Moreover, both types of BLG-based ASDs at 10 wt% drug loading exhibited faster release rates and higher solubility, for both the drug and BLG, compared to the ASDs at 30 wt% drug loading in pHs 2, 7, and 9 media.

Abstract
Biobased natural polymers, including polymers of natural origin such as casein, are growing rapidly in the light of the environmental pollution caused by many mass-produced commercial synthetic polymers. Although casein has interesting intrinsic properties, especially for the food industry, numerous chemical reactions have been carried out to broaden the range of its properties, most of them preserving casein's nontoxicity and biodegradability. New conjugates and graft copolymers have been developed especially by Maillard reaction of the amine functions of the casein backbone with the aldehyde functions of sugars, polysaccharides, or other molecules. Carried out with dialdehydes, these reactions lead to the cross-linking of casein giving three-dimensional polymers. Acylation and polymerization of various monomers initiated by amine functions are also described. Other reactions, far less numerous, involve alcohol and carboxylic acid functions in casein. This review provides an overview of casein-based conjugates and graft copolymers, their properties, and potential applications.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1768. [PMID: 38339046 PMCID: PMC10855522 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25031768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
We designed and characterized chitosan-caseinate fibers processed through wet spinning for biomedical applications such as drug delivery from knitted medical devices. Sodium caseinate was either incorporated directly into the chitosan dope or allowed to diffuse into the chitosan hydrogel from a coagulation bath containing sodium caseinate and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The latter route, where caseinate was incorporated in the neutralization bath, produced fibers with better mechanical properties for textile applications than those formed by the chitosan-caseinate mixed collodion route. The latter processing method consists of enriching a pre-formed chitosan hydrogel with caseinate, preserving the structure of the semicrystalline hydrogel without drastically affecting interactions involved in the chitosan self-assembly. Thus, dried fibers, after coagulation in a NaOH/sodium caseinate aqueous bath, exhibited preserved ultimate mechanical properties. The crystallinity ratio of chitosan was not significantly impacted by the presence of caseinate. However, when caseinate was incorporated into the chitosan dope, chitosan-caseinate fibers exhibited lower ultimate mechanical properties, possibly due to a lower entanglement density in the amorphous phase of the chitosan matrix. A standpoint is to optimize the chitosan-caseinate composition ratio and processing route to find a good compromise between the preservation of fiber mechanical properties and appropriate fiber composition for potential application in drug release.

Abstract
In today's world, there is a wide array of materials engineered at the nano- and microscale, with numerous applications attributed to these innovations. This review aims to provide a concise overview of how nano- and micromaterials are utilized for enzyme immobilization. Enzymes act as eco-friendly biocatalysts extensively used in various industries and medicine. However, their widespread adoption faces challenges due to factors such as enzyme instability under different conditions, resulting in reduced effectiveness, high costs, and limited reusability. To address these issues, researchers have explored immobilization techniques using nano- and microscale materials as a potential solution. Such techniques offer the promise of enhancing enzyme stability against varying temperatures, solvents, pH levels, pollutants, and impurities. Consequently, enzyme immobilization remains a subject of great interest within both the scientific community and the industrial sector. As of now, the primary goal of enzyme immobilization is not solely limited to enabling reusability and stability. It has been demonstrated as a powerful tool to enhance various enzyme properties and improve biocatalyst performance and characteristics. The integration of nano- and microscale materials into biomedical devices is seamless, given the similarity in size to most biological systems. Common materials employed in developing these nanotechnology products include synthetic polymers, carbon-based nanomaterials, magnetic micro- and nanoparticles, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, nano-sized mesoporous hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks, protein-based nano-delivery systems, lipid-based nano- and micromaterials, and polysaccharide-based nanoparticles.

Abstract
In today's food industry, the potential of bioactive compounds in preventing many chronic diseases has garnered significant attention. Many delivery systems have been developed to encapsulate these unstable bioactive compounds. Emulsion gels, as colloidal soft-solid materials, with their unique three-dimensional network structure and strong mechanical properties, are believed to provide excellent protection for bioactive substances. In the context of constructing carriers for bioactive materials, proteins are frequently employed as emulsifiers or gelling agents in emulsions or protein gels. However, in emulsion gels, when protein is used as an emulsifier to stabilize the oil/water interface, the gelling properties of proteins can also have a great influence on the functionality of the emulsion gels. Therefore, this paper aims to focus on the role of proteins' emulsifying and gelling properties in emulsion gels, providing a comprehensive review of the formation and modification of protein-based emulsion gels to build high-quality emulsion gel systems, thereby improving the stability and bioavailability of embedded bioactive substances.

Abstract
Polyphenols (PP) are linked to health benefits (e.g., prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease and obesity), which are mainly attributed to their antioxidant activity. During digestion, PP are oxidised to a significant degree reducing their bio-functionality. In recent years, the potential of various milk protein systems, including β-casein micelles, β-lactoglobulin aggregates, blood serum albumin aggregates, native casein micelles and re-assembled casein micelles, to bind and protect PP have been investigated. These studies have yet to be systematically reviewed. The functional properties of the milk protein-PP systems depend on the type and concentration of both PP and protein, as well as the structure of the resultant complexes, with environmental and processing factors also having an influence. Milk protein systems protect PP from degradation during digestion, resulting in a higher bioaccessibility and bioavailability, which improve the functional properties of PP upon consumption. This review compares different milk protein systems in terms of physicochemical properties, PP binding performance and ability to enhance the bio-functional properties of PP. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview on the structural, binding, and functional properties of milk protein-polyphenol systems. It is concluded that milk protein complexes function effectively as delivery systems for PP, protecting PP from oxidation during digestion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-traumatic massive hemorrhage demands immediately available first-aid supplies with reduced operation time and good surgical compliance. In-situ crosslinking gels that are flexibly adapting to the wound shape have a promising potential, but it is still hard to achieve fast gelation, on-demand adhesion, and wide feasibility at the same time. METHODS A white-light crosslinkable natural milk-derived casein hydrogel bioadhesive is presented for the first time. Benefiting from abundant tyrosine residues, casein hydrogel bioadhesive was synthesized by forming di-tyrosine bonds under white light with a ruthenium-based catalyst. We firstly optimized the concentration of proteins and initiators to achieve faster gelation and higher mechanical strength. Then, we examined the degradation, cytotoxicity, tissue adhesion, hemostasis, and wound healing ability of the casein hydrogels to study their potential to be used as bioadhesives. RESULT Rapid gelation of casein hydrogel is initiated with an outdoor flashlight, a cellphone flashlight, or an endoscopy lamp, which facilitates its usage during first-aid and minimally invasive operations. The rapid gelation enables 3D printing of the casein hydrogel and excellent hemostasis even during liver hemorrhage due to section injury. The covalent binding between casein and tissue enables robust adhesion which can withstand more than 180 mmHg blood pressure. Moreover, the casein-based hydrogel can facilitate post-traumatic wound healing caused by trauma due to its biocompatibility. CONCLUSION Casein-based bioadhesives developed in this study pave a way for broad and practical application in emergency wound management.

Abstract
Short peptides are important in the design of self-assembled materials due to their versatility and flexibility. Self-assembled dipeptides, a group of peptide nanostructures, have highly attractive uses in the field of biomedicine. Recently these materials have proved to be important nanostructures because of their biocompatibility, low-cost and simplicity of synthesis, functionality/easy tunability and nano dimensions. Although there are different studies on peptide and protein-based nanostructures, more information about self-assembled nanostructures for dipeptides is still required to discover the advantages, challenges, importance, synthesis, interactions, and applications. This review describes and discusses the self-assembled dipeptide nanostructures especially for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop casein-based nanoscale carriers as a potential delivery system for daunorubicin, as a pH-responsive targeting tool for acute lymphocytic leukemia. A coacervation technique followed by nano spray-drying was used for the preparation of drug-loaded casein nanoparticles. Four batches of drug-loaded formulations were developed at varied drug-polymer ratios using a simple coacervation technique followed by spray-drying. They were further characterized using scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, FTIR spectroscopy, XRD diffractometry, and differential scanning calorimetry. Drug release was investigated in different media (pH 5 and 7.4). The cytotoxicity of the daunorubicin-loaded nanoparticles was compared to that of the pure drug. The influence of the polymer-to-drug ratio on the nanoparticles' properties such as their particle size, surface morphology, production yield, drug loading, entrapment efficiency, and drug release behavior was studied. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of the drug-loaded nanoparticles was investigated confirming their potential as carriers for daunorubicin delivery.

Abstract
The poor water solubility of numerous novel drug candidates presents significant challenges, particularly in terms of oral administration. This limitation can result in various undesirable clinical implications, such as inter-patient variability, poor bioavailability, difficulties in achieving a safe therapeutic index, increased costs, and potential risks of toxicity or inefficacy. Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class II drugs face particular hurdles due to their limited solubility in the aqueous media of the gastrointestinal tract. In such cases, parenteral administration is often employed as an alternative strategy. To address these challenges, nanosuspension techniques offer a promising solution for enhancing drug solubility and overcoming oral delivery obstacles. This technique has the potential to bridge the gap between drug discovery and preclinical use by resolving problematic solubility. This literature review has delved into contemporary nanosuspension preparation technologies and the incorporation of stabilizing ingredients within the formulation. Furthermore, the manuscript explores nanosuspension strategies for both oral and parenteral/other delivery routes, and separate discussions have been presented to establish a suitable flow that addresses the challenges and strategies relevant to each administration method.

Abstract
The simultaneous improvement of quercetin (QUE) processing stability and bioavailability has always presented a technical challenge during food processing. This study constructed a water-soluble carrier consisting of oleic acid (OA) and sodium caseinate (NaCas) in an ultrasonic field and investigated the effect of its encapsulation on improving the thermal stability and bioaccessibility of QUE. The results showed that the OA and NaCas generated uniform, stable water-soluble particles with a poly dispersity index (PDI) below 0.3 and an absolute value of Zeta potential above 30 mV in optimized conditions (a protein concentration of 4 mg/mL, ultrasonic power of 300 W, and ultrasonic time of 5 min). OA-NaCas mass ratio of 1:40, 1:15, 1:8, and 1:4 was selected for QUE loading to compare its encapsulation effect at different mass ratios. Compared with the NaCas without OA, the QUE embedding rate reached 95 % at OA-NaCas mass ratios of 1:15 and 1:8. In addition, the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images confirmed that QUE was embedded in OA-NaCas particles, forming regular, spherical OA-NaCas-QUE particles at mass ratios or 1:15 and 1:8. Next, when heated at 80 °C for 120 min, the OA-NaCas (OA:NaCas, 1:15, 1:8, and W/W) particles significantly improved the QUE retention rate. The simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion experiments showed that the QUE bioaccessibility increased from 25 % to more than 60 % when it was encapsulated in OA-NaCas (OA:NaCas, 1:15, 1:8, and W/W) particles. These results indicated that the OA-NaCas complex was suitable as a hydrophilic delivery carrier of fat-soluble polyphenols.

Abstract
Aloe-vera extracted anthraquinones (aloin, aloe-emodin, rhein) possess a wide range of biological activities, have poor solubility and are sensitive to processing conditions. This work investigated the ultrasound-assisted encapsulation of these extracted anthraquinones (AQ) into casein micelles (CM). The particle size and zeta potential of casein micelles loaded with aloin (CMA), aloe-emodin (CMAE), rhein (CMR) and anthraquinone powder (CMAQ) ranged between 171–179 nm and −23 to −17 mV. The AQ powder had the maximum encapsulation efficiency (EE%) (aloin 99%, aloe-emodin 98% and rhein 100%) and encapsulation yield, while the whole leaf Aloe vera gel (WLAG) had the least encapsulation efficiency. Spray-dried powder (SDP) and freeze-dried powder (FDP) of Aloe vera showed a significant increase in size and zeta potential related to superficial coating instead of encapsulation. The significant variability in size, zeta potential and EE% were related to anthraquinone type, its binding affinity, and its ratio to CM. FTIR spectra confirmed that the structure of the casein micelle remained unchanged with the binding of anthraquinones except in casein micelles loaded with whole-leaf aloe vera gel (CMWLAG), where the structure was deformed. Based on our findings, Aloe vera extracted anthraquinones powder (AQ) possessed the best encapsulation efficiency within casein micelles without affecting its structure. Overall, this study provides new insights into developing new product formulations through better utilization of exceptional properties of casein micelles.

Abstract
Hydrogels based on renewable resources are a promising class of materials for future applications in pharmaceutics, drug delivery and personalized medicine. Thus, optional adjustments of mechanical properties such as swelling behavior, elasticity and network strength are desired. In this context, hydrogels based on the biological raw materials bovine serum albumin and casein were prepared by dityrosine-crosslinking of their tyrosine residues through visible light-induced photopolymerization. Changing the tyrosine accessibility by urea addition before photopolymerization increased the storage modulus of the hydrogels by 650% while simultaneously being more elastic. Furthermore, contributions of the buffer system composition, variation of protein concentration and storage medium towards mechanical properties of the hydrogel such as storage moduli, elasticity, fracture strain, compressive strength and relative weight swelling ratio are discussed. It could be shown, that changes in precursor solution and storage medium characteristics are crucial parameters towards tuning the mechanical properties of protein-based hydrogels.

Abstract
In this study, we proposed a synaptic transistor using an emerging biocompatible organic material, namely, the casein electrolyte as an electric-double-layer (EDL) in the transistor. The frequency-dependent capacitance of the indium-tin-oxide (ITO)/casein electrolyte-based EDL/ITO capacitor was assessed. As a result, the casein electrolyte was identified to exhibit a large capacitance of ~1.74 μF/cm2 at 10 Hz and operate as an EDL owing to the internal proton charge. Subsequently, the implementation of synaptic functions was verified by fabricating the synaptic transistors using biocompatible casein electrolyte-based EDL. The excitatory post-synaptic current, paired-pulse facilitation, and signal-filtering functions of the transistors demonstrated significant synaptic behavior. Additionally, the spike-timing-dependent plasticity was emulated by applying the pre- and post-synaptic spikes to the gate and drain, respectively. Furthermore, the potentiation and depression characteristics modulating the synaptic weight operated stably in repeated cycle tests. Finally, the learning simulation was conducted using the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology datasets to verify the neuromorphic computing capability; the results indicate a high recognition rate of 90%. Therefore, our results indicate that the casein electrolyte is a promising new EDL material that implements artificial synapses for building environmental and biologically friendly neuromorphic systems.

Abstract
Excellent mechanical and tissue adhesive properties, long-lasting environmental suitability and reliable biocompatibility are essential factors for the hydrogels to be applied as wound dressing in the clinical fields. Based on the self-assembly micelle structures, a new type of casein micelles (CEs)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) GW (glycerol-water) organohydrogel was designed and synthesized by a simple one-pot method. Through a unique "load sharing" effect, the CEs which own suitable adhesion abilities and drug loading capacities simultaneously were embedded into the PVA networks by rich hydrogen bonds, so that to obtain the composite organ hydrogel with not only excellent adhesive abilities, but also enhanced mechanical properties. Benefited from the unique GW binary solvent system, the organohydrogel showed long-lasting moisture lock-in capacity and extreme temperature tolerance (in the range of --20 °C ~ 60 °C). Particularly, after loading the model antibacterial drugs (allicin) within the CEs, the as-developed CEs/PVA GW gel exhibited a prominent long-lasting (>100 h) antibacterial properties (>90%). Furthermore, the organohydrogel was confirmed with prominent biocompatibility to support fibroblast cell proliferation and migration. This work proposed a new strategy to build CEs-based gel system, which have a great potential application in terms of prevent bacterial infection, accelerate tissue proliferation and wound healing.

Abstract
There are limited naturally derived protein biomaterials for the available medical implants. High cost, low yield, and batch-to-batch inconsistency, as well as intrinsically differing bioactivity in some of the proteins, make them less beneficial as common implant materials compared to their synthetic counterparts. Here, we present a milk-derived whey protein isolate (WPI) as a new kind of natural protein-based biomaterial for medical implants. The WPI was methacrylated at 100 g bench scale, >95% conversion, and 90% yield to generate a photo-cross-linkable material. WPI-MA was further processed into injectable hydrogels, monodispersed microspheres, and patterned scaffolds with photo-cross-linking-based advanced processing methods including microfluidics and 3D printing. In vivo evaluation of the WPI-MA hydrogels showed promising biocompatibility and degradability. Intramyocardial implantation of injectable WPI-MA hydrogels in a model of myocardial infarction attenuated the pathological changes in the left ventricle. Our results indicate a possible therapeutic value of WPI-based biomaterials and give rise to a potential collaboration between the dairy industry and the production of medical therapeutics.

Abstract
Milk powder is an important ingredient in various foods and pediatric formulations. The textural and digestion properties of the formulations depend on the preheat treatment of the milk powder during manufacture. Thus, it is interesting to know how these modifications can influence on the release of fortified bioactive compounds during digestion with a milk matrix. In this study, a curcumin nanoemulsion was incorporated into milks reconstituted from low-heat, medium-heat and high-heat skim milk powders (SMPs) and the milks were subjected to semi dynamic in vitro digestion. All the recombined milk systems formed a curd under gastric conditions, which reduced the gastric emptying of protein and curcumin-loaded oil droplets. Because of the formation of heat-induced casein/whey protein complexes, the open fragmented curd formed by the high-heat-treated reconstituted powder resulted in higher protein and oil droplets emptying to the intestine and higher curcumin bioaccessibility. This study provides useful information for how protein ingredients can govern the fate of added health-promoting compounds during digestion.

Abstract
In this study, lycopene was successfully encapsulated in polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles (PEC NPs) fabricated with a negatively charged polysaccharide, TLH-3, and a positively charged sodium caseinate (SC) via electrostatic interactions. Results showed that the lycopene-loaded PEC NPs were spherical in shape, have a particle size of 241 nm, have a zeta potential of −23.6 mV, and have encapsulation efficiency of 93.6%. Thus, lycopene-loaded PEC NPs could serve as effective lycopene carriers which affected the physicochemical characteristics of the encapsulated lycopene and improved its water dispersibility, storage stability, antioxidant capacity, and sustained release ability in aqueous environments when compared with the free lycopene. Moreover, encapsulated lycopene could enhance the cells' viability, prevent cell apoptosis, and protect cells from oxidative damage through the Nrf2/HO-1/AKT signalling pathway, via upregulation of antioxidase activities and downregulation of MDA and ROS levels. Therefore, the biocompatible lycopene-loaded PEC NPs have considerable potential use for the encapsulation of hydrophobic nutraceuticals in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Many proteins can be used to fabricate nanocarriers for encapsulation, protection, and controlled release of nutraceuticals. This review examined the protein-based nanocarriers from microscopic molecular characteristics to the macroscopical structural and functional attributes. Structural, physical, and chemical properties of protein-based nanocarriers were introduced in detail. The spatial size, shape, water dispersibility, colloidal stability, etc. of protein-based nanocarriers were largely determined by the molecular physicochemical principles of protein. Different preparative techniques, including antisolvent precipitation, pH-driven, electrospray, and gelation methods, among others, can be used to fabricate different protein-based nanocarriers. Various modifications based on physical, chemical, and enzymatic approaches can be used to improve the functional performance of these nanocarriers. Protein is a natural resource with a wide range of sources, including plant, animal, and microbial, which are usually used to fabricate the nanocarriers. Protein-based nanocarriers have many advantages in aid of the application of bioactive ingredients to the medical, food, and cosmetic industries.

Abstract
Milk is an excellent source of nutrients for humans. Therefore, in order to enhance the quality and production of milk in cattle, it is interesting to examine the underlying mechanisms. A number of new investigations and research have found that, circRNA; a specific class of non-coding RNAs, is linked with the development of mammary gland and lactation. In the present study, genome wide identification and expression of the circRNAs in mammary epithelial cells of two distinct cattle breeds viz Jersey and Kashmiri at peak lactation was conducted. We reported 1554 and 1286 circRNA in Jersey and Kashmiri cattle, respectively, with 21 circRNAs being differentially expressed in the two breeds. The developmental genes of the established differentially expressed circRNAs were found to be largely enriched in antioxidant activity, progesterone, estradiol, lipid, growth hormone, and drug response. Certain pathways like MAPK, IP3K and immune response pathways were found significantly enriched in KEGG analysis. These results add to our understanding of the controlling mechanisms connected with the lactation process, as well as the function of circRNAs in bovine milk synthesis. Additionally, the comparative analysis of differentially expressed circRNAs showed significant conservation across different species.

Abstract
This research aims to investigate the properties of nano- and micro-sized casein hydrogels crosslinked by sodium tripolyphosphate as drug delivery systems. Benzydamine hydrochloride was chosen as a model hydrophilic drug. The gels were synthesized by varying different parameters: casein concentration, casein/crosslinking ratio, and addition of ethanol as a co-solvent. The electrostatic attractive interactions between the casein and the sodium tripolyphosphate were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The particle sizes was determined by dynamic light scattering and varied in the range between several hundred nanometers and several microns. The yield of the gelation process was high for all investigated samples and varied between 55.3% and 78.3%. The encapsulation efficiency of the particles was strongly influenced by the casein concentration and casein/crosslinker ratio and its values were between 4.6% and 22.4%. The release study confirmed that casein particles are useful as benzydamine carriers and ensured prolonged release over 72 h.

Abstract
The development of protein-based nanocarriers to improve the water solubility, stability, and bioavailability of hydrophobic or poorly soluble bioactive molecules has attracted increasing interest in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, a network-like nanostructure of soybean lipophilic protein (LP) was obtained through sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-dependent decomposition and recombination. This nanostructure served as an excellent nanocarrier for resveratrol (Res), a poorly soluble biologically active molecule. The structure of LP gradually decomposed into its independent subunits at SDS concentrations ≤5% (w/v). After the removal of SDS, the dissociated subunits partially reassembled into a fibrous network-like nanostructure in which the Res molecules were encapsulated, and they preferentially interacted with the hydrophobic subunits (α and α' subunits and the 24 kDa subunit) of the protein. This system exhibited a high encapsulation efficiency (95.93%), high water solubility (85.29%), extraordinary oxidation resistance (DPPH radical scavenging activity of 67.1%), and improved Res digestibility (78.7%).

Abstract
Recently, proteins are gaining attention as potential materials for antibacterial therapy. Proteins possess beneficial properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, low immunogenic response, ability to control drug release, and can act as protein-mimics in wound healing. Different plant- and animal-derived proteins can be developed into formulations (films, hydrogels, scaffolds, mats) for topical antibacterial therapy. The application areas for topical antibacterial therapy can be wide including bacterial infections in the skin (e.g., acne, wounds), eyelids, mouth, lips, etc. One of the major challenges of the healthcare system is chronic wound infections. Conventional treatment strategies for topical antibacterial therapy of infected wounds are inadequate, and the development of newer and optimized formulations is warranted. Therefore, this review focuses on recent advances in protein-based systems for topical antibacterial therapy in infected wounds. The opportunities and challenges of such protein-based systems along with their future prospects are discussed.

J Food Sci 2022; 87:780-794. [PMID: 35040140 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Revised: 11/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
This work chemically modified short linear glucan (SLG) by introducing a surface carboxymethyl group to obtain carboxymethylated SLG (CMSLG), then prepared CMSLG-based ternary nanocomplex particles based on electrostatic interactions with sodium-caseinate (NaCas) and pectin. These nanocomplex particles are homogeneous, generally exhibiting sizes of <200 nm with spherical shape and negative surface charge. In addition, the results showed the increase in both the mass ratio of CMSLG and NaCas and the synthesis temperature can improve the colloidal stability of nanocomplex particles when they are exposed to simulated gastrointestinal fluids containing digestive enzymes. Moreover, nanocomplex particles have an exceptional capability to encapsulate curcumin, and this encapsulation efficiency increased as the mass ratios of CMSLG and NaCas were increased. The study also investigated the antioxidant activity and in vitro release properties of curcumin encapsulated by nanocomplex particles and found that CMSLG/NaCas/pectin had improved higher ABTS radical scavenging capacity and allowed for the controlled, sustained release of curcumin in simulated gastrointestinal fluid within 6 hours. Thus, this study provides new insights into the design of a CMSLG-based ternary nanocomplex and its use as a potential oral delivery system for lipophilic bioactive compounds. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Curcumin, as a sort of natural polyphenolic compound, has many physiologic functions such as anti-oxidation, anticancer, and prevention of Alzheimer's disease. However, the application of the curcumin has been limited by its poor water solubility and unstable physicochemical property. To solve this problem, the nanotechnology has been used to prepare the nano-delivery carriers for curcumin. This work prepared a ternary nanoparticle based on the carboxymethyl short linear glucan, sodium-caseinate, and pectin. The ternary nanoparticle can achieve a higher encapsulation efficiency for curcumin. In addition, the ternary nanoparticle can enhance the ABTS radical scavenging capacity and provided control and sustained release of curcumin in the simulated gastrointestinal fluid.

The Effect of pH and Sodium Caseinate on the Aqueous Solubility, Stability, and Crystallinity of Rutin towards Concentrated Colloidally Stable Particles for the Incorporation into Functional Foods.

Abstract
Poor water solubility and low bioavailability of hydrophobic flavonoids such as rutin remain as substantial challenges to their oral delivery via functional foods. In this study, the effect of pH and the addition of a protein (sodium caseinate; NaCas) on the aqueous solubility and stability of rutin was studied, from which an efficient delivery system for the incorporation of rutin into functional food products was developed. The aqueous solubility, chemical stability, crystallinity, and morphology of rutin (0.1–5% w/v) under various pH (1–11) and protein concentrations (0.2–8% w/v) were studied. To manufacture the concentrated colloidally stable rutin–NaCas particles, rutin was dissolved and deprotonated in a NaCas solution at alkaline pH before its subsequent neutralisation at pH 7. The excess water was removed using ultrafiltration to improve the loading capacity. Rutin showed the highest solubility at pH 11, while the addition of NaCas resulted in the improvement of both solubility and chemical stability. Critically, to achieve particles with colloidal stability, the NaCas:rutin ratio (w/w) had to be greater than 2.5 and 40 respectively for the lowest (0.2% w/v) and highest (4 to 8% w/v) concentrations of NaCas. The rutin–NaCas particles in the concentrated formulations were physically stable, with a size in the range of 185 to 230 nm and zeta potential of −36.8 to −38.1 mV, depending on the NaCas:rutin ratio. Encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of rutin in different systems were 76% to 83% and 2% to 22%, respectively. The concentrated formulation containing 5% w/v NaCas and 2% w/v rutin was chosen as the most efficient delivery system due to the ideal protein:flavonoid ratio (2.5:1), which resulted in the highest loading capacity (22%). Taken together, the findings show that the delivery system developed in this study can be a promising method for the incorporation of a high concentration of hydrophobic flavonoids such as rutin into functional foods.

Abstract
Proteins have been widely used in the biomedical field because of their well-defined architecture, accurate molecular weight, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, and easy-to-functionalization. Inspired by the wisdom of nature, increasing proteins/peptides that possess self-assembling capabilities have been explored and designed to generate nanoassemblies with unique structure and function, including spatially organized conformation, passive and active targeting, stimuli-responsiveness, and high stability. These characteristics make protein/peptide-based nanoassembly an ideal platform for drug delivery and vaccine development. In this review, we focus on recent advances in subsistent protein/peptide-based nanoassemblies, including protein nanocages, virus-like particles, self-assemblable natural proteins, and self-assemblable artificial peptides. The origin and characteristics of various protein/peptide-based assemblies and their applications in drug delivery and vaccine development are summarized. In the end, the prospects and challenges are discussed for the further development of protein/peptide-based nanoassemblies.
