Use of radiolabeled hyaluronic acid for preclinical assessment of inflammatory injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Nucl Med Biol 2022; 114-115:86-98. [PMID: 36270074 PMCID: PMC9562607 DOI: 10.1016/j.nucmedbio.2022.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is accompanied by a dramatic increase in lung hyaluronic acid (HA), leading to a dose-dependent reduction of pulmonary oxygenation. This pattern is associated with severe infections, such as COVID-19, and other important lung injury etiologies. HA actively participates in molecular pathways involved in the cytokine storm of COVID-19-induced ARDS. The objective of this study was to evaluate an imaging approach of radiolabeled HA for assessment of dysregulated HA deposition in mouse models with skin inflammation and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ARDS using a novel portable intensified Quantum Imaging Detector (iQID) gamma camera system. METHODS HA of 10 kDa molecular weight (HA10) was radiolabeled with 125I and 99mTc respectively to produce [125I]I-HA10 and [99mTc]Tc-HA10, followed by comparative studies on stability, in vivo biodistribution, and uptake at inflammatory skin sites in mice with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-inflamed ears. [99mTc]Tc-HA10 was used for iQID in vivo dynamic imaging of mice with ARDS induced by intratracheal instillation of LPS. RESULTS [99mTc]Tc-HA10 and [125I]I-HA10 had similar biodistribution and localization at inflammatory sites. [99mTc]Tc-HA10 was shown to be feasible in measuring skin injury and monitoring skin wound healing. [99mTc]Tc-HA10 dynamic pulmonary images yielded good visualization of radioactive uptake in the lungs. There was significantly increased lung uptake and slower lung washout in mice with LPS-induced ARDS than in control mice. Postmortem biodistribution measurement of [99mTc]TcHA10 (%ID/g) was 11.0 ± 3.9 vs. 1.3 ± 0.3 in the ARDS mice (n = 6) and controls (n = 6) (P < 0.001), consistent with upregulated HA expression as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. CONCLUSIONS [99mTc]Tc-HA10 is promising as a biomarker for evaluating HA dysregulation that contributes to pulmonary injury in ARDS. Rapid iQID imaging of [99mTc]Tc-HA10 clearance from injured lungs may provide a functional template for timely assessment and quantitative monitoring of pulmonary pathophysiology and intervention in ARDS.

Abstract
Radiolabeling a protein, molecule, or polymer can provide accurate and precise quantification in biochemistry, biomaterials, pharmacology, and drug delivery research. Herein, we describe a method to 125I label two different polymers for precise quantification in different applications. The surfaces of model contact lenses were modified with phenylboronic acid to bind and release the natural polymer, hyaluronic acid (HA); HA uptake and release were quantified by radiolabeling. In the second example, the in vivo distribution of a mucoadhesive micelle composed of the block copolymer of poly(lactide)-b-poly(methacrylic acid-co-acrylamidophenylboronic acid) was investigated. The presence of phenyl boronic acid groups (PBA), which bind to mucosal surfaces, was proposed to improve the retention of the micelle. 125I labeling of polymers was examined for quantification of microgram amounts of HA present on a contact lens or to evaluate the enhanced retention of PBA micelles on mucosal surfaces in vivo. The introduction of phenol groups onto the polymers allowed for the labeling. HA was modified with phenol groups through a coupling reaction of its carboxylic acid with hydroxybenzylamine. Phenol functional block copolymer micelles with and without PBA were synthesized by including N-(4-hydroxyphenethyl)acrylamide during polymerization. The phenol groups of HA and the block copolymers were labeled with 125I using a modified ICl labeling method. 125I labeling enabled quantification of HA loading and release including the effect of varying amounts of PBA on the contact lens surfaces. Micelles made from 125I-labeled block copolymers with and without PBA were administered intranasally to Brown Norway rats. The animals were sacrificed either immediately after or 4 h after their last nasal instillation, and the nasopharyngeal tissues were removed and quantified. Radioactivity measurements demonstrated that the presence of the PBA mucosal binding groups led to approximately four times higher retention. The HA and block copolymer 125I labeling presented in this article demonstrates the utility of the method for quantification and tracking of microgram quantities of polymers in diverse applications.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) have been widely used as the ideal biomaterials. It is important to understand their degradation and distribution for better optimization. From a new aspect of using radiotracers, we designed the HA-tyramine-bisphosphonate derivative for dual-labelling with two radionuclides (99mTc and 131I) simultaneously for in vitro and in vivo tracking. This dual-radiolabelled HA derivative can still be non-covalently crosslinked by hydroxyapatites to form injectable gel. The excellent properties of the gel, such as robust, biodegradable, and self-healing capacity were maintained. We firstly proved the possibility to distinguish different radionuclides in the degraded gel using the high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. The radiolabelled gel showed lower toxicity than pure hydroxyapatites against various cell lines, while the in vivo results proved that the 99mTc/131I-labelling of the gel was safe and stable enough for imaging and quantitatively tracking. The present method can also be applied for the development of dual-radiolabelled gels from other polysaccharides.

Abstract
Nanocarriers (NCs) are a type of drug delivery system commonly used to regulate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of drugs. Although a wide variety of NCs has been developed, relatively few have been registered for clinical trials and even fewer are clinically approved. Overt or potential toxicity, indistinct mechanisms of drug release and unsatisfactory pharmacokinetic behavior all contribute to their high failure rate during preclinical and clinical testing. These negative characteristics are not only due to the NCs themselves but also to the materials of the drug nanocarrier system (MDNS) that are released in vivo. In this article, we review the main analytical techniques used for bioassay of NCs and MDNS and their pharmacokinetics after administration by various routes. We anticipate our review will serve to improve the understanding of MDNS pharmacokinetics and facilitate the development of NC drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has emerged as a versatile polymer for drug delivery. Multiple commercial products utilize HA, it can be obtained in a variety of molecular weights, and it offers chemical handles for cross-linkers, drugs, or imaging agents. Previous studies have investigated multiple administration routes, but the absorption, biodistribution, and pharmacokinetics of HA after delivery to the lung is relatively unknown. Here, pharmacokinetic parameters were investigated by delivering different molecular weights of HA (between 7 and 741 kDa) to the lungs of mice. HA was labeled with either a near-infrared dye or with iodine-125 conjugated to HA using a tyrosine linker. In initial studies, dye-labeled HA was instilled into the lungs and fluorescent images of organs were collected at 1, 8, and 24 h post administration. Data suggested longer lung persistence of higher molecular weight HA, but signal diminished for all molecular weights at 8 h. To better quantitate pharmacokinetic parameters, different molecular weights of iodine-125 labeled HA were instilled and organ radioactivity was determined after 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h. The data showed that, after instillation, the lungs contained the highest levels of HA, as expected, followed by the gastrointestinal tract. Smaller molecular weights of HA showed more rapid systemic distribution, while 67 and 215 kDa HA showed longer persistence in the lungs. Lung exposure appeared to be optimum in this size range due to the rapid absorption of <67 kDa HA and the poor lung penetration and mucociliary clearance of viscous solutions of HA > 215 kDa. The versatility of HA molecular weight and conjugation chemistries may, therefore, provide new opportunities to extend pulmonary drug exposure and potentially facilitate access to lymph nodes draining the pulmonary bed.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid is a constituent of the skin and helps to maintain hydration. The oral intake of hyaluronic acid increases water in the horny layer as demonstrated by human trials, but in vivo kinetics has not been shown. This study confirmed the absorption, migration, and excretion of 14C-labeled hyaluronic acid (14C-hyaluronic acid). 14C-hyaluronic acid was orally or intravenously administered to male SD rats aged 7 to 8 weeks. Plasma radioactivity after oral administration showed the highest level 8 hours after administration, and orally administered 14C-hyaluronic acid was found in the blood. Approximately 90% of 14C-hyaluronic acid was absorbed from the digestive tract and used as an energy source or a structural constituent of tissues based on tests of the urine, feces, expired air, and cadaver up to 168 hours (one week) after administration. The autoradiographic results suggested that radioactivity was distributed systematically and then reduced over time. The radioactivity was higher in the skin than in the blood at 24 and 96 hours after administration. The results show the possibility that orally administered hyaluronic acid migrated into the skin. No excessive accumulation was observed and more than 90% of the hyaluronic acid was excreted in expired air or urine.

Abstract
Metabolites comprise the molar majority of chemical substances in living cells, and metabolite-protein interactions are expected to be quite common. Many interactions have already been identified and have been shown to be involved in the regulation of different types of cellular processes including signaling events, enzyme activities, protein localizations and interactions. Recent technological advances have greatly facilitated the detection of metabolite-protein interactions at high sensitivity and some of these have been applied on a large scale. In this manuscript, we review the available in vitro, in silico and in vivo technologies for mapping small-molecule-protein interactions. Although some of these were developed for drug-protein interactions they can be applied for mapping metabolite-protein interactions. Information gained from the use of these approaches can be applied to the manipulation of cellular processes and therapeutic applications.
