Abstract
Improving the efficiency of antiseizure medication entering the brain is the key to reducing its peripheral toxicity. A combination of intranasal administration and nanomedicine presents a practical approach for treating epileptic seizures via bypassing the blood-brain barrier. In this study, phenytoin (PHT) loaded layered double hydroxide nanoparticles (BSA-LDHs-PHT) were fabricated via a coprecipitation - hydrothermal method for epileptic seizure control. In this study, we expound on the preparation method and characterization of BSA-LDHs-PHT. In-vitro drug release experiment shows both rapid and continuous drug release from BSA-LDHs-PHT, which is crucial for acute seizure control and chronic epilepsy therapy. In-vivo biodistribution assays after intranasal administration indicate excellent brain targeting ability of BSA-LDHs. Compared to BSA-Cyanine5.5, BSA-LDHs-Cyanine5.5 were associated with a higher brain/peripheral ratio across all tested time points. Following intranasal delivery with small doses of BSA-LDHs-PHT, the latency of seizures in the pentylenetetrazole-induced mouse models was effectively improved. Collectively, the present study successfully designed and applied BSA-LDHs-PHT as a promising strategy for treating epileptic seizures with an enhanced therapeutic effect.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:5467. [PMID: 37570172 PMCID: PMC10419364 DOI: 10.3390/ma16155467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
The discovery and validation of new adjuvants are critical areas for vaccinology. Mineral materials (e.g., alum microparticles) have been used for a long time as adjuvants in human vaccine formulations. Nonetheless, the use of nanosized materials is a promising approach to diversify the properties of adjuvants. Nanoclays are potential adjuvants proposed by some research groups. However, their adjuvant mechanisms and safety have not been fully elucidated. Herein, we aimed at expanding the knowledge on the potential adjuvanticity of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles by reporting a detailed method for the synthesis and characterization of LDHs and the adsorption of a model antigen (bovine serum albumin, BSA). LDHs varying in diameter (from 56 to 88 nm) were obtained, and an in vitro evaluation revealed that the LDHs are not inherently toxic. BSA was passively adsorbed onto the LDHs, and the immunogenicity in mice of the conjugates obtained was compared to that of free BSA and BSA co-administered with alum (Alum-BSA). The LDH-BSA conjugates induced a higher humoral response that lasted for a longer period compared with that of free BSA and Alum-BSA, confirming that LDH exerts adjuvant effects. The 56 nm LDH particles were deemed as the more efficient carrier since they induced a higher and more balanced Th1/Th2 response than the 88 nm particles. This study is a contribution toward expanding the characterization and use of nanoclays in vaccinology and justifies further studies with pathogen-specific antigens.

Abstract
Clay materials and nanoclays have gained recent popularity in the vaccinology field, with biocompatibility, simple functionalization, low toxicity, and low-cost as their main attributes. As elements of nanovaccines, halloysite nanotubes (natural), layered double hydroxides and hectorite (synthetic) are the nanoclays that have advanced into the vaccinology field. Until now, only physisorption has been used to modify the surface of nanoclays with antigens, adjuvants, and/or ligands to create nanovaccines. Protocols to covalently attach these molecules have not been developed with nanoclays, only procedures to develop adsorbents based on nanoclays that could be extended to develop nanovaccine conjugates. In this review, we describe the approaches evaluated on different nanovaccine candidates reported in articles, the immunological results obtained with them and the most advanced approaches in the preclinical field, while describing the nanomaterial itself. In addition, complex systems that use nanoclays were included and described. The safety of nanoclays as carriers is an important key fact to determine their true potential as nanovaccine candidates in humans. Here, we present the evaluations reported in this field. Finally, we point out the perspectives in the development of vaccine prototypes using nanoclays as antigen carriers.

Abstract
Against the backdrop of increased public health awareness, inorganic nanomaterials have been widely explored as promising nanoagents for various kinds of biomedical applications. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), with versatile physicochemical advantages including excellent biocompatibility, pH-sensitive biodegradability, highly tunable chemical composition and structure, and ease of composite formation with other materials, have shown great promise in biomedical applications. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recent advances in LDH-based nanomaterials for biomedical applications. Firstly, the material categories and advantages of LDH-based nanomaterials are discussed. The preparation and surface modification of LDH-based nanomaterials, including pristine LDHs, LDH-based nanocomposites and LDH-derived nanomaterials, are then described. Thereafter, we systematically describe the great potential of LDHs in biomedical applications including drug/gene delivery, bioimaging diagnosis, cancer therapy, biosensing, tissue engineering, and anti-bacteria. Finally, on the basis of the current state of the art, we conclude with insights on the remaining challenges and future prospects in this rapidly emerging field.

Abstract
Recent decades have witnessed a surge of explorations into the application of multifarious materials, especially biomedical applications. Among them, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely developed as typical inorganic layer materials to achieve remarkable advancements. Multiple physicochemical properties endow LDHs with excellent merits in biomedical applications. Moreover, LDH nanoplatforms could serve as "molecular switches", which are capable of the controlled release of payloads under specific physiological pH conditions but are stable during circulation in the bloodstream. In addition, LDHs themselves are composed of several specific cations and possess favorable biological effects or regulatory roles in various cellular functions. These advantages have caused LDHs to become increasingly of interest in the area of nanomedicine. Recent efforts have been devoted to revealing the potential factors that interfere with the biological pathways of LDH-based nanoparticles, such as their applications in shaping the functions of immune cells and in determining the fate of stem cells and tumor treatments, which are comprehensively described herein. In addition, several intracellular signaling pathways interfering with by LDHs in the above applications were also systematically expatiated. Finally, the future development and challenges of LDH-based nanomedicine are discussed in the context of the ultimate goal of practical clinical application.

Abstract
Background. Layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been demonstrated as a highly efficient antigen platform to induce effective and durable immune response. However, whether LDH nanoparticles could act as an adjuvant for pertussis vaccines is still unknown. Here we evaluated the potential of Mg/Al-LDH as a nano-adjuvant to improve immune response against pertussis and compared it with commercial aluminum hydroxide (AH) adjuvant.Method. The Mg/Al-LDH nanoparticles were synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction. The morphology, structure and size of Mg/Al-LDH were characterized by transmission electron microscope, x-ray diffraction and MALVERN particle analysis. The ovalbumin and Pertussis toxin (PTd) was adsorbed to Mg/Al-LDH. The immune response of antigen-LDH complex was evaluated in mice, compared with commercial adjuvant alum. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to evaluate the inflammatory response at injection site.Results. The synthetic Mg/Al-LDH nanoparticles showed a typical hexagonal lamellar structure. The average size of synthetic nanoparticles was 102.9 nm with PDI of 0.13 and zeta potential was 44.4 mV. Mg/Al-LDH nanoparticles effectively adsorbed protein antigen and mediated antigen uptake by DC cells. Animal experiments showed that Mg/Al-LDH gave enhancement in anti-pertussis toxin (PTd) humoral immune response, which was considerable to commercial AH adjuvant. Finally, Mg/Al-LDH produced a slighter inflammatory response than AH at injection site and this injury was quickly recovered.Conclusion. Our study demonstrated the potential of Mg/Al-LDH as an effective adjuvant for pertussis vaccine, which induced comparable antibody response and had a better safety compared with commercial AH adjuvant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multi-modal therapy has attracted increasing attention as it provides enhanced effectiveness and potential stimulation of the immune community. However, low accumulation at the tumor sites and quick immune clearance of the anti-tumor agents are still insurmountable challenges. Hypothetically, cancer cell membrane (CCM) can homologously target the tumor whereas multi-modal therapy can complement the disadvantages of singular therapies. Meanwhile, moderate hyperthermia induced by photothermal therapy can boost the cellular uptake of therapeutic agents by cancer cells. RESULTS CCM-cloaked indocyanine green (ICG)-incorporated and abraxane (PTX-BSA)-loaded layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets (LIPC NSs) were fabricated for target efficient photo-chemotherapy of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). The CCM-cloaked LDH delivery system showed efficient homologous targeting and cytotoxicity, which was further enhanced under laser irradiation to synergize CRC apoptosis. On the other hand, CCM-cloaking remarkably reduced the uptake of LDH NSs by HEK 293T cells and macrophages, implying mitigation of the side effects and the immune clearance, respectively. In vivo data further exhibited that LIPC NSs enhanced the drug accumulation in tumor tissues and significantly retarded tumor progression under laser irradiation at very low therapeutic doses (1.2 and 0.6 mg/kg of ICG and PTX-BSA), without observed side effects on other organs. CONCLUSIONS This research has demonstrated that targeting delivery efficiency and immune-escaping ability of LIPC NSs are tremendously enhanced by CCM cloaking for efficient tumor accumulation and in situ generated hyperthermia boosts the uptake of LIPC NSs by cancer cells, a potential effective way to improve the multi-modal cancer therapy.

Abstract
Biological macromolecule-based therapeutics irrupted in the pharmaceutical scene generating a great hope due to their outstanding specificity and potency. However, given their susceptibility to degradation and limited capacity to overcome biological barriers new delivery technologies had to be developed for them to reach their targets. This review aims at analyzing the historical seminal advances that shaped the development of the protein/peptide delivery field, along with the emerging technologies on the lead of the current landscape. Particularly, focus is made on technologies with a potential for transmucosal systemic delivery of protein/peptide drugs, followed by approaches for the delivery of antigens as new vaccination strategies, and formulations of biological drugs in oncology, with special emphasis on mAbs. Finally, a discussion of the key challenges the field is facing, along with an overview of prospective advances are provided.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxide (LDH) is a 'sandwich'-like two-dimensional clay material that has been systematically investigated for biomedical application in the past two decades. LDH is an alum-similar adjuvant, which has a well-defined layered crystal structure and exhibits high adjuvanticity. The unique structure of LDH includes positively charged layers composed of divalent and trivalent cations and anion-exchangeable interlayer galleries. Among the many variants of LDH, MgAl-LDH (the cationic ions are Mg2+ and Al3+) has the highest affinity to antigens, bioadjuvants and drug molecules, and exhibits superior biosafety. Past research studies indicate that MgAl-LDH can simultaneously load antigens, bioadjuvants and molecular drugs to amplify the strength of immune responses, and induce broad-spectrum immune responses. Moreover, the size and dispersity of MgAl-LDH in biological environments can be well controlled to actively deliver antigens to the immune system, realizing the rapid induction and maintenance of durable immune responses. Furthermore, the functionalization of MgAl-LDH nanoadjuvants enables it to capture antigens in situ and induce personalized immune responses, thereby more effectively overcoming complex diseases. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the development and application of MgAl-LDH nanoparticles as a vaccine adjuvant, demonstrating that MgAl-LDH is the most potential adjuvant for clinical application.

Abstract
Background Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly transmissible disease that leads to vast economic losses in many countries. Prevention using inactivated vaccines is one effective measure used to control FMD. Unfortunately, inactivated FMD vaccines provide only short-term protection and require a cold-chain system. In recent years, many studies have shown that layered double metal hydroxides (LDHs) carrying antigens can be used to strongly induce immune responses. In this study, LDH nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. LDH particle size, electric potential, and morphology were measured and observed. The adsorption capacity of LDH NPs to FMDV was tested. The effects of LDH as an adjuvant on inactivated FMDV vaccines were further evaluated and compared with commercial FMDV Montanide ISA-206 in BALB/C female mice and Yorkshire pigs. Results LDH NPs were successfully prepared with a uniform particle size of ~ 87.21 nm, regular edges, a loose hexagonal shape and positive zeta charge of 32 mV. The maximum absorption concentration was 0.16–0.31 μg FMDV/μg LDH. In the mouse experiment, antibody levels in group LDH + FMDV were significantly higher compared to group saline + FMDV (P < 0.01) from days 42–98 and were significantly higher to group ISA-206 + FMDV on day 56 post-immunization (P < 0.05). After day 14 post-immunization, IFN-γ content was significantly increased (P < 0.05). In the pig experiment, antibody levels in both the ISA-206 + FMDV and LDH + FMDV were positive and were significantly higher compared with the PBS group on day 7 (P < 0.005). Antibody levels in 90% pigs were positive on day 56 in the LDH group. The neutralizing antibody levels in the LDH and ISA-206 groups were significantly higher from days 7–28 compared to the PBS control group (P < 0.05). Thus, LDH NPs were effective at inducing an immune response against FMDV. Conclusions LDHs with a loose hexagonal shape and a positive charge were prepared and evaluated as adjuvant for FMD vaccine. It was demonstrated that LDHs can induce immune responses in mice and pigs. In addition, the LDHs produced antibodies continuously which may indicate a slow-release effect. The study shows that LDHs may act as a potentially useful FMDV adjuvant.

Abstract
Development of nanoplatforms for targeted anticancer drug delivery for effective tumor therapy still remains challenging in the development of nanomedicine. Here, we present a facile method to formulate a LAPONITE (LAP) nanodisk-based nanosystem for anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) delivery to folic acid (FA) receptor-overexpressing tumors. In the current work, aminated LAP nanodisks were first prepared through silanization, then functionalized with polyethylene glycol-linked FA (PEG-FA) via 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) chemistry, and finally employed to physically encapsulate DOX. The formed functional LAP nanodisks (for short, LM-PEG-FA) possess a high DOX loading efficiency (88.6 ± 1.2%) and present a pH-dependent release feature with a quicker DOX release under acidic pH conditions (pH 5.0) than under physiological pH conditions (pH 7.4). In vitro flow cytometry, confocal microscopic observation, and cell viability assay show that the LM-PEG-FA/DOX complexes can be specifically taken up by FAR-overexpressing human ovarian cancer cells (SK-OV-3 cells) and present a specific cancer cell therapeutic effect. Further tumor treatment results reveal that the LM-PEG-FA/DOX complexes can exert a specific therapeutic efficacy to a xenografted SK-OV-3 tumor model in vivo when compared with nontargeted LM-mPEG/DOX complexes. Therefore, the developed LM-PEG-FA nanodisks could be employed as a potential platform for targeted cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is of vital importance in several biological and physical processes. The significance of H2S-specific detection and monitoring is emphasized by its elevated levels in various diseases such as cancer. Nanotechnology enhances the performance of chemical sensing nanoprobes due to the enhanced efficiency and sensitivity. Recently, extensive research efforts have been dedicated to developing novel smart H2S-triggered/therapeutic system (SHTS) nanoplatforms for H2S-activated sensing, imaging, and therapy. Herein, the latest SHTS-based nanomaterials are summarized and discussed in detail. In addition, therapeutic strategies mediated by endogenous H2S as a trigger or exogenous H2S delivery are also included. A comprehensive understanding of the current status of SHTS-based strategies will greatly facilitate innovation in this field. Lastly, the challenges and key issues related to the design and development of SHTS-based nanomaterials (e.g., morphology, surface modification, therapeutic strategies, appropriate application, and selection of nanomaterials) are outlined.
