Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 240:124459. [PMID: 37072064 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2023]
Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring mucopolysaccharide that, due to its inherent bioactivity and extracellular matrix-like structure, has the potential to be utilised extensively in tissue engineering. However, this glycosaminoglycan lacks the properties required for cellular adhesion and photo-crosslinking by UV light, which significantly hinders this polymers applicability. This research presents a method for modifying hyaluronic acid via thiolation and methacrylation to generate a novel photo-crosslinkable polymer with improved physicochemical properties, biocompatibility and the potential to customize biodegradability according to the ratio of monomers used. A decrease in stiffness proportional to increasing thiol concentration was observed when testing the compressive strength of hydrogels. Conversely, it was noted that the storage moduli of hydrogels increased proportionally to thiol concentration indicating a greater degree of cross-linking with the addition of thiol. The addition of thiol to HA increased the biocompatibility of the material in both neuronal and glial cell lines and improved the degradability of methacrylated HA. Due to the enhanced physicochemical properties and biocompatibility imparted by the introduction of thiolated HA, this novel hydrogel system could have numerous bioengineering applications.

Abstract
Whey protein microgel (WPM) is an emerging multifunctional protein particle and methods to improve its functional properties are continuously being explored. We developed a method to prepare WPM by heat-induced self-assembly under different ultrasound power (160, 320, 480, and 640 W/cm2) and characterized the particle size, surface hydrophobicity, disulfide bond, viscosity, and foam properties of WPM. Ultrasound increased the particle size of WPM-160 W to 31 μm. However, the increase in ultrasound power gradually reduced the average particle size of samples. The intrinsic fluorescence spectrum showed that ultrasound unfolded the structure of whey protein and exposed more hydrophobic groups, which increased the surface hydrophobicity of WPM. In addition, infrared spectroscopy suggested ultrasound decreased the α-helix content of WPM, implying an increase in the flexibility of protein molecules. The disulfide bond of WPM was broken by ultrasound, and the content of the-SH group increased correspondingly. The rheology indicated that the apparent viscosity decreased with the increase of ultrasonic power. Compared with the control, the ultrasonicated WPM displayed higher foam ability. Ultrasound improved the foam stability of WPM-160 W but destroyed the foam stability of other samples. These results suggest that proper ultrasound treatment can improve the physicochemical and foam properties of WPM.

Responsive Hyaluronic Acid–Ethylacrylamide Microgels Fabricated Using Microfluidics Technique. Gels 2022; 8:gels8090588.

Abstract
Volume changes of responsive microgels can probe interactions between polyelectrolytes and species of opposite charges such as peptides and proteins. We have investigated a microfluidics method to synthesize highly responsive, covalently crosslinked, hyaluronic acid microgels for such purposes. Sodium hyaluronate (HA), pre-modified with ethylacrylamide functionalities, was crosslinked in aqueous droplets created with a microfluidic technique. We varied the microgel properties by changing the degree of modification and concentration of HA in the reaction mixture. The degree of modification was determined by 1H NMR. Light microscopy was used to investigate the responsiveness of the microgels to osmotic stress in aqueous saline solutions by simultaneously monitoring individual microgel species in hydrodynamic traps. The permeability of the microgels to FITC-dextrans of molecular weights between 4 and 250 kDa was investigated using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results show that the microgels were spherical with diameters between 100 and 500 µm and the responsivity tunable by changing the degree of modification and the HA concentration. Microgels were fully permeable to all investigated FITC-dextran probes. The partitioning to the microgel from an aqueous solution decreased with the increasing molecular weight of the probe, which is in qualitative agreement with theories of homogeneous gel networks.

Abstract
The inclusion of physiologically active molecules into a naturally occurring polymer matrix can improve the degradation, absorption, and release profile of the drug, thus boosting the therapeutic impact and potentially even reducing the frequency of administration. The human body produces significant amounts of polysaccharide hyaluronic acid, which boasts exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability, and one-of-a-kind physicochemical features. In this review, we will examine the clinical trials currently utilizing hyaluronic acid and address the bright future of this versatile polymer, as well as summarize the numerous applications of hyaluronic acid in drug delivery and immunomodulation.

Abstract
Microgels are an emerging class of "ideal" enzyme carriers because of their chemical and process stability, biocompatibility, and high enzyme loading capability. In this work, we synthesized a new type of permanently positively charged poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) microgel with 1-vinyl-3-methylimidazolium (quaternization of nitrogen by methylation of N-vinylimidazole moieties) as a comonomer (PVCL/VimQ) through precipitation polymerization. The PVCL/VimQ microgels were characterized with respect to their size, charge, swelling degree, and temperature responsiveness in aqueous solutions. P450 monooxygenases are usually challenging to immobilize, and often, high activity losses occur after the immobilization (in the case of P450 BM3 from Bacillus megaterium up to 100% loss of activity). The electrostatic immobilization of P450 BM3 in permanently positively charged PVCL/VimQ microgels was achieved without the loss of catalytic activity at the pH optimum of P450 BM3 (pH 8; ∼9.4 nmol 7-hydroxy-3-carboxy coumarin ethyl ester/min for free and immobilized P450 BM3); the resulting P450-microgel systems were termed P450 MicroGelzymes (P450 μ-Gelzymes). In addition, P450 μ-Gelzymes offer the possibility of reversible ionic strength-triggered release and re-entrapment of the biocatalyst in processes (e.g., for catalyst reuse). Finally, a characterization of the potential of P450 μ-Gelzymes to provide resistance against cosolvents (acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, and 2-propanol) was performed to evaluate the biocatalytic application potential.

Abstract
The encapsulation of cells into microgels is attractive for applications in tissue regeneration. While cells are protected against shear stress during injection, the assembly of microgels after injection into a tissue defect also forms a macroporous scaffold that allows effective nutrient transport throughout the construct. However, in most of current strategies that form microgel-based macroporous scaffold or higher-order structures, cells are seeded during or post the assembly process and not microencapsulated in situ. The objective of this study is to investigate the chondrogenic phenotype of microencapsulated fetal chondrocytes in a biocompatible, assembled microgel system vs. bulk gels and to test the stability of the constructs in vivo. Here, we demonstrate that cell microencapsulation leads to increased expression of cartilage-specific genes in a TGF-β1-dependent manner. This correlates, as shown by histological staining, with the ability of microencapsulated cells to deposit cartilaginous matrix after migrating to the surface of the microgels, while keeping a macroscopic granular morphology. Implantation of precultured scaffolds in a subcutaneous mouse model results in vessel infiltration in bulk gels but not in assembled microgels, suggesting a higher stability of the matrix produced by the cells in the assembled microgel constructs. The cells are able to remodel the microgels as demonstrated by the gradual disappearance of the granular structure in vivo. The biocompatible microencapsulation and microgel assembly system presented in this article therefore hold great promise as an injectable system for cartilage repair.

Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)/β-cyclodextrin-hyaluronan contact lens with tear protein adsorption resistance and sustained drug delivery for ophthalmic diseases. Acta Biomater 2020; 110:105-118.

Abstract
A series of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) hydrogels containing cross-linked β-cyclodextrin-hyaluronan (β-CD-crHA), with tear protein adsorption resistance and sustained drug delivery, were developed as contact lens materials for eye diseases. β-CD-HA was synthesized from aminated β-CD and HA and then crosslinked within pHEMA hydrogel using polyethylenimine as a crosslinker. The synthesized β-CD-HA was characterized by 1H NMR analysis, and β-CD-crHA immobilized in pHEMA hydrogel was confirmed by FT-IR, SEM, and AFM analyses. The incorporation of β-CD-crHA significantly improved the surface hydrophilicity, water uptake ability, oxygen permeability, and flexibility of pHEMA hydrogel, but did not compromise light transmission. pHEMA/β-CD-crHA hydrogels not only decreased the tear protein adsorption because of the electrostatically mutual repulsion and the improved hydrophilicity, leading to the reduced adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus on the hydrogel surface, but also enhanced the encapsulation capacity and the sustainable delivery of diclofenac due to the formation of inclusion complexes between β-CD and drugs. All the hydrogels were nontoxic to 3T3 mouse fibroblasts by in vitro cell viability analysis. Among these hydrogels with different β-CD-crHA contents, pHEMA/β-CD-crHA10 hydrogel showed the lowest water contact angle of 52 °, the highest water content of 65%, the largest Dk value of 36.4 barrer, and the optimal modulus of 1.8 MPa, as well as a good light transmission of over 90%. The in vivo conjunctivitis treatment of rabbits for 72 h indicated that drug-loaded pHEMA/β-CD-crHA10 hydrogel presented a better therapeutic effect than both one dose administration of drug solution per day and drug-loaded pHEMA hydrogel. Thus, pHEMA/β-CD-crHA10 hydrogel is a promising contact lens material for ophthalmic diseases. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Topical eye drops are currently the most popular treatment for ophthalmic diseases, but frequent dosing is necessary to acquire the desirable clinical effect at the expense of systemic side-effects. Drug-loaded contact lenses, as an alternative of eye drops, possess many good performances and show potential applications. However, the sustained drug delivery and the tear protein adsorption resistance are still challenging for contact lenses. Hence, we developed a novel pHEMA/β-CD-crHA hydrogel by incorporating β-CD-crHA crosslinked network into pHEMA hydrogel. Besides the improvements in surface hydrophilicity, water uptake ability, oxygen permeability, and flexibility, pHEMA/β-CD-crHA hydrogel also reduced the adsorption of tear proteins and the adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus, enhanced the drug encapsulation, and prolonged the drug delivery, with better effect in the conjunctivitis treatment of rabbits. Thus, pHEMA/β-CD-crHA hydrogel is a potential contact lens material for treating ophthalmic diseases.

Abstract
Although there has been considerable achievement in the field of breast cancer therapeutics, tackling the disturbing issue of highly potent triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) still remains a hurdle in cancer therapeutics. Here, for the first time we propose a poly(ethylenimine) (PEI)-mediated approach for the synthesis of hyaluronic acid (HA) tagged cerium oxide nanoparticles (CePEI-NPs) as a therapeutic agent in TNBC. Primarily, the formulated HA-CePEI-NPs upon treatment displayed superior anticancer effect by exhibiting the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). These particles acted as a nano reactor by the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the treatment. We further evaluated the caspase activity which divulgated the activation of caspases-3 and -9 while there was a decrease in the level of Bcl-2. The treatment also resulted in the release of cytochrome c (Cyt c), and in addition, features such as pynknosis and G2/M phase arrest were also noted. Hence the nano reactor property of nano ceria in activating mitochondrial-mediated intrinsic apoptosis highlights its promising role as a nano drug for therapeutic applications in TNBC.

Abstract
Platelet lysate (PL), a blood product that contains high concentrations of growth factors (GFs), can be considered as a cost-effective source of multiple GFs. In this study, hyaluronic acid (HA) based microgels were developed for delivery of PL proteins. Spherical microgel were prepared using a water in oil emulsion method. First, hyaluronic acid was grafted with tyramine groups, after which prepared microdroplets were crosslinked via an enzymatic reaction in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and horseradish peroxidase. Because of electrostatic interactions, these microgels are promising carriers for positively charged proteins entrapment like most of the GFs. When microgels are incubated in PL solution, protein loading takes place which is mainly governed by nonspecific adsorption of plasma proteins. Although this hampered loading efficiency, loading could be increased by repeated washing and incubation steps. The loaded microgels presented a sustained release of PL growth factors for a period of two weeks. When PL enriched microgels were embedded in a HA bulk hydrogel, cell proliferation was higher compared to constructs without microgels. These findings suggest that the developed microgels are a potential candidate for sustained delivery of PL growth factors and present a solution to the issue of their short half-lives in vivo.

Abstract
The present study aims in the understanding of the effect of oligo(ethylene glycol)-based biocompatible microgels inner structure on the encapsulation/release mechanisms of different types of cosmetic active molecules. For that, multi-responsive microgels were synthesized using three types of cross-linkers: ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), oligo(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (OEGDA) and N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA). The inner morphology of the microgels synthesized was studied by 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques and no effect of cross-linker type on microgel microstructure was observed in the case of analysing purified microgel dispersions. Moreover, all the microgels synthesized presented conventional swelling/de-swelling behavior as a function of temperature and pH. Two hydrophobic, one hydrophilic, and one macromolecule as cosmetic active molecules were effectively loaded into different microgel particles via hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen-bonding interactions between -OH groups of active molecules and ether oxygens of different microgel particles. Their release profiles as a function of cross-linker type used and encapsulated amounts were studied by Peppas-Sahlin model. No effect of the cross-linker type was observed due to the similar inner structure of all the microgels synthesized.

Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2015; 92:146-54.

Abstract
We investigated the physicochemical properties of pH-sensitive hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)/hyaluronic acid (HA) complex hydrogels containing isoliquiritigenin (ILTG), and discussed potential applications as transdermal delivery systems for the treatment of skin lesions caused by pH imbalance. HA has skin compatibility and pH functional groups and HEC serves as scaffold to build hydrogels with varied HCE:HA mass ratio. Hydrogels were synthesized via chemical cross-linking, and three-dimensional network structures were characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The swelling properties and polymer ratios of the hydrogels were investigated at pH values in the range 1-13. HECHA13 (i.e., an HEC:HA mass ratio of 1:3) was found to have optimal rheological and adhesive properties, and was used to investigate the drug release efficiency as a function of pH; the efficiency was greater than 70% at pH 7. Antimicrobial activity assays against Propionibacterium acnes were conducted to take advantage of the pH-sensitive properties of HECHA13. At pH 7, we found that HECHA13, which contained ILTG, inhibited the growth of P. acnes. Furthermore, HECHA13 was found to exhibit excellent permeability into the skin, which penetrated mostly via the hair follicle. These results indicate that this pH-sensitive hydrogel is effective as a transdermal delivery system for antimicrobial therapeutics, with potential applications in the treatment of acne.

Abstract
Inulin, inulin-silica and modified inulin microgels were prepared in a single step via crosslinking within microemulsion, and used as drug delivery devices. Inulin-silica composite micro particles were also synthesized in the presence of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) via a water-in-oil microemulsion polymerization/crosslinking technique. To generate porous inulin particles, inulin-silica particles were treated with 0.5M NaOH solution to dissolve silica particles. Furthermore, virgin inulin (p(inulin)) and porous inulin microgels (por-p(inulin)) were quaternized successfully by treatment with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTMAC) in aqueous solution, generating positive charges on the biopolymer as q-p(inulin). Rosmarinic acid (RA) was used as model drug for loading and release studies by synthesized inulin-based microgels in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH7.4. It was shown that the absorption and release rate are influenced by zeta potential and porosity of the microgels.
