Pérez-Lloret M, Erxleben A. Improved and Highly Reproducible Synthesis of Methacrylated Hyaluronic Acid with Tailored Degrees of Substitution. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:25914-25921. [PMID: 38911780 PMCID: PMC11191076 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c00372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
Methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA) is a versatile material that has gained significant attention in various pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. This biocompatible material can be photo-cross-linked in the presence of Irgacure 2959 (I2959) to produce hydrogels. Controlling the degree of methacrylation (DM) is crucial since it plays a pivotal role in determining the properties and thus the potential applications of the gels. We report herein a new green approach for the highly controlled and tailored modification of hyaluronic acid (HA) with methacrylic anhydride (MA). The reaction conditions of previously reported procedures were optimized, leading to a decreased reaction time (3 h instead of 24 h) and consumption of fewer equivalents of MA (5 equiv instead of 20) and water as the sole solvent. By changing the amount of base added, HAMA with three different DMs was obtained: 19, 35, and 60%. The influence of the molecular weight of HA, degree of substitution, and concentration of the HAMA solution prior to photo-cross-linking on the rheological, swelling, and degradation properties of HAMA hydrogels was also studied in this work.

Abstract
In the treatment of bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis through oral administration, an effective drug delivery system targeting the colon is crucial for enhancing efficacy and minimizing side effects of therapeutic agents. This study focuses on the development of a novel nanocomposite hydrogel bead comprising a synergistic blend of biological macromolecules, namely sodium alginate (ALG) and hyaluronic acid (HA), reinforced with layered double hydroxide nanoparticles (LDHs) for the oral delivery of dual therapeutics. The synthesized hydrogel bead exhibits significantly enhanced gel strength and controllable release of methylprednisolone (MP) and curcumin (CUR), serving as an anti-inflammatory drug and a mucosal healing agent, compared to native ALG or ALG/HA hydrogel beads without LDHs. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized LDHs and hydrogel beads were characterized using various techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, zeta potential measurement, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. In vitro release studies of MP and CUR under simulated gastrointestinal tract (GIT) conditions demonstrate the superior controlled release property of the nanocomposite hydrogel bead, particularly in minimizing premature drug release in the upper GIT environment while sustaining release of over 82 % of drugs in the colonic environment. Thus, the modularly engineered carrier designed for oral colon targeting holds promise as a potential candidate for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

[PMID: 38460633 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130645] [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: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), a biodegradable, biocompatible and non-immunogenic therapeutic polymer is a key component of the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) and has been widely used to manage two major types of arthritis, osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). OA joints are characterized by lower concentrations of depolymerized (low molecular weight) HA, resulting in reduced physiological viscoelasticity, while in RA, the associated immune cells are over-expressed with various cell surface receptors such as CD44. Due to HA's inherent viscoelastic property and its ability to target CD44, there has been a surge of interest in developing HA-based systems to deliver various bioactives (drugs and biologics) and manage arthritis. Considering therapeutic benefits of HA in arthritis management and potential advantages of novel delivery systems, bioactive delivery through HA-based systems is beginning to display improved outcomes over bioactive only treatment. The benefits include enhanced bioactive uptake due to receptor-mediated targeting, prolonged retention of bioactives in the synovium, reduced expressions of proinflammatory mediators, enhanced cartilage regeneration, reduced drug toxicity due to sustained release, and improved and cost-effective treatment. This review provides an underlying rationale to prepare and use HA-based bioactive delivery systems for arthritis applications. With special emphasis given to preclinical/clinical results, this article reviews various bioactive-loaded HA-based particulate carriers (organic and inorganic), gels, scaffolds and polymer-drug conjugates that have been reported to treat and manage OA and RA. Furthermore, the review identifies several key challenges and provides valuable suggestions to address them. Various developments, strategies and suggestions described in this review may guide the formulation scientists to optimize HA-based bioactive delivery systems as an effective approach to manage and treat arthritis effectively.

Hyaluronan nanogel co-loaded with chloroquine to enhance intracellular cisplatin delivery through lysosomal permeabilization and lysophagy inhibition. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 323:121415.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) has been widely used to construct nanocarriers for cancer-targeted drug delivery, due to its excellent biocompatibility and intrinsic affinity towards CD44 that is overexpressed in most cancer types. However, the HA-based nanocarriers are prone to trapping in lysosomes following the HA-mediated endocytosis, which limited the delivered drug to access its pharmacological action sites and subsequently compromised the therapeutic efficacy. To overcome this intracellular obstacle, here we demonstrated the co-loading of chloroquine (CQ) in HA nanogel could efficiently promote the intracellular delivery of cisplatin. The cisplatin coordination with HA generated the nanogel that could also co-encapsulate CQ (HA/Cis/CQ nanogel). Compared with cisplatin-loaded HA nanogel (HA/Cis), HA/Cis/CQ significantly promoted the lysosomal escape of cisplatin as well as enhanced tumor inhibition in the triple-negative breast cancer model. Mechanism studies suggested that co-delivery of CQ not only induced the lysosomal membrane permeabilization but also inhibited the lysophagy, which collectively contributed to the lysosomal instability and cisplatin escape. This HA/Cis/CQ nanogel elicited less toxicity compared with the combination of free Cis and CQ, thus suggesting a promising HA nanocarrier to boost the cisplatin delivery towards cancer-targeted therapy.

Abstract
The healing of wounds in diabetic patients is a huge challenge issue in clinical medicine due to the disordered immune. Recruiting endogenous cells to play a role in the early stage and timely reducing inflammation to promote healing in the middle or late of injuring are both prerequisites for effective treatment. Here, inspired by natural extracellular matrix, three-dimensional porous polyurethane-hyaluronic acid hybrid hydrogel scaffolds (PUHA) were prepared to repair diabetic wound through activate cell immunity by moderate foreign body reaction, provide cell adhesion growth extracellular matrix of hyaluronic acid (HA) and exhibit anti-inflammatory effect of polyurethane (PU). The interaction between PU and HA alters the compact PU hydrogel into macroporous PUHA hydrogel scaffolds with super-swelling, elastic mechanical properties, and controllable degradation, which are suitable for endogenous cells infiltration, growth and immune activation. Additionally, incorporating with RGD, PUHA hydrogel scaffolds with bioactive physicochemical features can evidently reduce the inflammation and modulate the polarization of macrophage apparently both in vitro and in vivo, mainly through downregulation of cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction genes, leading to reprogramming immune-microenvironment and rapid diabetic wound healing. This method of gathering cells initially and intervening immune-microenvironment in time provides an expected way to design biomaterials for chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Continuous oxidative stress and cellular dysfunction caused by hyperglycemia are distinguishing features of diabetic wounds. It has been a great challenge to develop a smart dressing that can accelerate diabetic wound healing through regulating abnormal microenvironments. In this study, a platelet rich plasma (PRP) loaded multifunctional hydrogel with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glucose dual-responsive property is reported. It can be conveniently prepared with PRP, dopamine (DA) grafted alginate (Alg-DA), and 6-aminobenzo[c][1,2]oxaborol-1(3H)-ol (ABO) conjugated hyaluronic acid (HA-ABO) through ionic crosslinks, hydrogen-bond interactions, and boronate ester bonds. The hydrogel possesses injectability, moldability, tissue adhesion, self-healing, low hemolysis, and hemostasis performances. Its excellent antioxidant property can create a low oxidative stress microenvironment for other biological events. Under an oxidative stress and/or hyperglycemia state, the hydrogel can degrade at an accelerated rate to release a variety of cytokines derived from activated blood platelets. The result is a series of positive changes that are favorable for diabetic wound healing, including fast anti-inflammation, activated macrophage polarization toward M2 phenotype, promoted migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, as well as expedited angiogenesis. This work provides an efficient strategy for chronic diabetic wound management and offers an alternative for developing a new-type PRP-based bioactive wound dressing.

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare piperine (PIP) loaded liposomes in hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel to provide a hybrid superstructure for postoperative adhesion prevention. Liposomes were prepared using thin-film hydration method. The optimised formulation was characterised by size, SEM, TEM, FTIR, encapsulation efficiency (EE)% (w/w), and release pattern. Liposome-in-hydrogel formulation was investigated by rheology, SEM, and release studies. The efficacy was evaluated in a rat peritoneal abrasion model. EE% (w/w) increased with increasing lipid concentration from 10 to 30; however, a higher percentage of Chol reduced EE% (w/w). The optimised liposome (EE: 68.10 ± 4.18% (w/w), average diameter: 513 ± 14.67 nm, PDI: 0.15 ± 0.04) was used for hydrogel embedding. No sign of adhesion in 5/8 rats and no collagen deposition confirmed the in vivo effectiveness of the optimised formulation. Overall, providing a sustained delivery of PIP, the developed liposome-in-hydrogel formulation can be a promising carrier to prevent postoperative adhesion.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an important type of naturally derived carbohydrate polymer with specific polysaccharide macromolecular structures and multifaceted biological functions, including biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, biodegradability, and bioactivity. Specifically, HA hydrogels in a microscopic scale have been widely used for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and medical cosmetology, considering their superior properties outperforming the more conventional monolithic hydrogels in network homogeneity, degradation profile, permeability, and injectability. Herein, we reviewed the recent progress in the preparation and applications of HA microgels in biomedical fields. We first summarized the fabrication of HA microgels by focusing on the different crosslinking/polymerization schemes for HA gelation and the miniaturized fabrication techniques for producing HA-based microparticles. We then highlighted the use of HA-based microgels for different applications in regenerative medicine, including cartilage repair, bioactive delivery, diagnostic imaging, modular tissue engineering. Finally, we discussed the challenges and future perspectives in bridging the translational gap in the utilization of HA-based microgels in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Due to high structural flexibility, multidrug carrying capability, and tunable size, dendrimers have been used as suitable carriers for ophthalmic drug delivery. Drug molecules can be either encapsulated or chemically coupled to dendrimers. The nanoscopic size, spheroidal shape, and cationic surface of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers promote their interaction with the cornea and result in prolonged precorneal retention. Dendrimers could be further cross-linked to produce three-dimensional hydrogel networks or dendrimer hydrogels (DH). The properties of the DH can be readily adjusted to maintain both fluidity and adhesiveness, making them suitable for developing topical ocular drug formulations. Micro-/nano-sized DHs, that is, dendrimer micro-/nano-gels, have unique properties such as ease of administration, large specific surface area for adhesion, and drug targeting functionalities, making them attractive for ophthalmic drug delivery. This perspective reports advances in PAMAM dendrimer based drug delivery systems including drug conjugates and micro- and nano-gels to enhance and sustain the delivery of multiple anti-glaucoma drugs, Dendrimer and dendrimer gel-derived drug delivery systems hold great potential as multifunctional topical drug delivery systems for the eye.

Abstract
Phototherapies or light mediated therapies, including mutually photothermal and photodynamic therapy that encompass irradiation of the target organs with light, have been widely employed as minimally invasive approach associated with negligible drug resistance for eradicating multiple tumors with minimal hazards to normal organs. Despite all these advantages, many obstacles in phototherapy hinder progress toward clinical application. Therefore, researchers have developed nano-particulate delivery systems integrated with phototherapy and therapeutic cytotoxic drugs to overcome these obstacles and achieve maximum efficacy in cancer treatment. Active targeting ligands were integrated into their surfaces to improve the selectivity and tumor targeting ability, enabling easy binding and recognition by cellular receptors overexpressed on the tumor tissue compared to normal ones. This enhances intratumoral accumulation with minimal toxicity on the adjacent normal cells. Various active targeting ligands, including antibodies, aptamers, peptides, lactoferrin, folic acid and carbohydrates, have been explored for the targeted delivery of chemotherapy/phototherapy-based nanomedicine. Among these ligands, carbohydrates have been applied due to their unique features that ameliorate the bioadhesive, noncovalent conjugation to biological tissues. In this review, the up-to-date techniques of employing carbohydrates active targeting ligands will be highlighted concerning the surface modification of the nanoparticles for ameliorating the targeting ability of the chemo/phototherapy.

Abstract
There is a need to develop bifunctional scaffolds that provide antibacterial protection while encouraging host cell attachment/proliferation. This study evaluates HyStem®-C, and photo-cross-linked GelMA hydrogels for encapsulation and stabilisation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). We studied the behaviour of AgNPs and matrix interactions within both hydrogel systems. The cell viability of encapsulated human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) was determined by Prestoblue® assay and live/dead staining. The release of AgNPs was monitored by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy. The antibacterial properties of the GelMA-AgNP constructs were determined using disc diffusion. Even distribution of AgNPs in GelMA induced a significant decrease in cell viability (p < 0.0001), whereas AgNP aggregates did not induce cytotoxicity in HyStem®-C. AgNPs doses ≥ 0.5 µg/mL in GelMA were significantly toxic to the HGFs (p < 0.0001). The release of AgNPs from GelMA after 48 h was 20% w/w for 0.1 µg/mL and 51% for 100 µg/mL of AgNPs. At ≥5 µg/mL, a significant intra-construct bactericidal effect was observed. The disc diffusion assay shows that GelMA-incorporated AgNPs were found to be effective against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus at 50 and 100 µg/mL, respectively. Visible photo-cross-linked GelMA stably incorporated AgNPs to provide an antimicrobial regenerative construct for oral applications.

Abstract
In recent years, the functionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with different types of responsive pore gatekeepers have shown great potential for the formulation of drug delivery systems (DDS) with minimal premature leakage and site-specific controlled release. New nanotechnological approaches have been developed with the objective of utilizing natural biopolymers as smart materials in drug delivery applications. Natural biopolymers are sensitive to various physicochemical and biological stimuli and are endowed with intrinsic biodegradability, biocompatibility, and low immunogenicity. Their use as biocompatible smart coatings has extensively been investigated in the last few years. This review summarizes the MSNs coating procedures with natural polysaccharides and protein-based biopolymers, focusing on their application as responsive materials to endogenous stimuli. Biopolymer-coated MSNs, which conjugate the nanocarrier features of mesoporous silica with the biocompatibility and controlled delivery provided by natural coatings, have shown promising therapeutic outcomes and the potential to emerge as valuable candidates for the selective treatment of various diseases.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex disease associated with a combination of abnormal physiological process and exhibiting dysfunctions in multiple systems. To provide effective treatment and diagnosis for cancer, current treatment strategies simultaneously focus on various tumor targets. Based on the rapid development of nanotechnology, nanocarriers have been shown to exhibit excellent potential for cancer therapy. Compared with nanoparticles with single functions, multifunctional nanoparticles are believed to be more aggressive and potent in the context of tumor targeting. However, the development of multifunctional nanoparticles is not simply an upgraded version of the original function, but involves a sophisticated system with a proper backbone, optimized modification sites, simple preparation method, and efficient function integration. Despite this, many well-designed multifunctional nanoparticles with promising therapeutic potential have emerged recently. Here, to give a detailed understanding and analyzation of the currently developed multifunctional nanoparticles, their platform structures with organic or inorganic backbones were systemically generalized. We emphasized on the functionalization and modification strategies, which provide additional functions to the nanoparticle. We also discussed the application combination strategies that were involved in the development of nanoformulations with functional crosstalk. This review thus provides an overview of the construction strategies and application advances of multifunctional nanoparticles.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have been extensively used in several applications in the past few decades related to biomedicine and healthcare. Among them, nanogels (NGs) have emerged as an important nanoplatform with the properties of both hydrogels and nanoparticles for the controlled/sustained delivery of chemo drugs, nucleic acids, or other bioactive molecules for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. In the recent past, significant research efforts have been invested in synthesizing NGs through various synthetic methodologies such as free radical polymerization, reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer method (RAFT) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), as well as emulsion techniques. With further polymeric functionalizations using activated esters, thiol-ene/yne processes, imines/oximes formation, cycloadditions, nucleophilic addition reactions of isocyanates, ring-opening, and multicomponent reactions were used to obtain functionalized NGs for targeted delivery of drug and other compounds. NGs are particularly intriguing for use in the areas of diagnosis, analytics, and biomedicine due to their nanodimensionality, material characteristics, physiological stability, tunable multi-functionality, and biocompatibility. Numerous NGs with a wide range of functionalities and various external/internal stimuli-responsive modalities have been possible with novel synthetic reliable methodologies. Such continuous development of innovative, intelligent materials with novel characteristics is crucial for nanomedicine for next-generation biomedical applications. This paper reviews the synthesis and various functionalization strategies of NGs with a focus on the recent advances in different biomedical applications of these surface modified/functionalized single-/dual-/multi-responsive NGs, with various active targeting moieties, in the fields of cancer theranostics, immunotherapy, antimicrobial/antiviral, antigen presentation for the vaccine, sensing, wound healing, thrombolysis, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Multistimuli-responsive polymers are important for controlled release. Owing to the fact that these polymers are derived from vinyl-based monomers, their decoration with other molecules is limited. Polysaccharides, especially chitosan (CS) and hyaluronic acid (HA), are pH-responsive biopolymers, whose chemical structures contain reactive functional groups for feasible chemical modifications to obtain add-on functions. The present work demonstrates the introduction of polymers with upper critical solution temperature (UCST) and lower critical solution temperature (LCST) performances onto CS and HA, respectively. By simply varying the mole ratio between the CS-containing UCST polymer and the HA-containing LCST polymer along with adjusting the pH, a polymer system with a UCST-LCST-pH multiresponsive window can be obtained. This multiresponsive window enables us to control the encapsulation and release with repeatability as evidenced from a model study on lysozyme. The present work, for the first time, shows a simple approach to obtain multiresponsive biodegradable polymers through the formation of a single polymer complex to tailor a specific multiresponsive window.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), which contains multiple carboxyl, hydroxyl, and acetylamino groups and is an agent that targets tumors, has drawn great attention in supramolecular diagnosis and treatment research. It can not only assemble directly with macrocyclic host-guest complexes through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions but also can be modified with macrocyclic compounds or functional guest molecules by an amidation reaction and used for further assembly. Macrocycles play a main role in the construction of supramolecular drug carriers, targeted imaging agents, and hydrogels, such as cyclodextrins and cucurbit[n]urils, which can encapsulate photosensitizers, drugs, or other functional guest molecules via host-guest interactions. Therefore, the formed supramolecular assemblies can respond to various stimuli, such as enzymes, light, electricity, and magnetism for controlled drug delivery, enhance the luminescence intensity of the assembly, and improve drug loading capacity. In addition, the nanosupramolecular assembly formed with HA can also improve the biocompatibility of drugs, reduce drug toxicity and side effects, and enhance cell permeability; thus, the assembly has extensive application value in biomedical research. This Account mainly focuses on macrocyclic supramolecular assemblies based on HA, especially their biological applications and progress in the field, and these assemblies include (i) guest-modified HA, such as pyridinium-, adamantane-, peptide-, and other functional-group-modified HA, along with their cyclodextrin and cucurbit[n]uril assemblies; (ii) macrocycle-modified HA, such as HA modified with cyclodextrins and cucurbit[n]uril derivatives and their assembly with various guests; (iii) direct assembly between unmodified HA and cyclodextrin- or cucurbit[n]uril-based host-guest complexes. Particularly, we discussed the important role of macrocyclic host-guest complexes in HA-based supramolecular assembly, and the roles included improving the water solubility and efficacy of hydrophobic drugs, enhancing the luminescent intensity of assemblies, inducing room temperature phosphorescence and providing energy transfer systems, constructing multi-stimulus-responsive supramolecular assemblies, and in situ formation of hydrogels. Additionally, we believe that obtaining in-depth knowledge of these HA-based macrocyclic supramolecular assemblies and their biological applications encompasses many challenges regarding drug carriers, targeted imaging agents, wound healing, and biomedical soft materials and would certainly contribute to the rapid development of supramolecular diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polysaccharide-based hydrogels (PBHs) offer several advantages over their synthetic counterparts. Their natural origin contributes to their nontoxicity, high biocompatibility, and in vivo biodegradability. Their properties can be tuned finely to obtain hydrogels with desired mechanical, structural, and chemical properties. AREAS COVERED Such versatile characteristics have potentiated the use of PBHs for the delivery of drugs, vaccines, protein and peptide therapeutics, genes, cells, probiotics, bacteriophages, and other therapeutic agents. Recent advances in hydrogel-based formulations such as nanogels, microgels, microneedles, hydrogel beads, nanocarrier-loaded hydrogels, and complexation hydrogels have enabled the precise delivery of a wide range of therapeutics. This review aims to give a holistic overview of hydrogels in the delivery of a variety of therapeutics through different routes. EXPERT OPINION PBHs have been used to enable the oral delivery of vaccines and other biologicals, thereby allowing self-administration of life-saving vaccines during public health emergencies. There is a lack of commercialized wound dressings for the treatment of chronic wounds. PBH-based wound dressings, especially those based on chitosan and loaded with actives and growth factors, have the potential to help in the long-term treatment of such wounds. Recent developments in the 3D printing of hydrogels can enable the quick and large-scale production of drug-loaded hydrogels.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP) drug carriers have revolutionized medicine and increased patient quality of life. Clinically approved formulations typically succeed because of reduced off-target toxicity of the cargo. However, increasing carrier accumulation at disease sites through precise targeting remains one of the biggest challenges in the field. Novel multivalent ligand presentations and self-assembled constructs can enhance cell association, but an inability to draw direct comparisons across formulations has hindered progress. Furthermore, how nanoparticle structure influences function often is unclear. In this report, we leverage the well-characterized hyaluronic acid (HA)-CD44 binding pair to investigate how the surface architecture of modified NPs impacts their association with ovarian cancer cells that overexpress CD44. We functionalized anionic liposomes with 5 kDa HA by either covalent conjugation via surface coupling or electrostatic self-assembly using the layer-by-layer (LbL) adsorption method. Comparing these two methods, we observed a consistent enhancement of NP-cell association with the self-assembly LbL technique, particularly with higher molecular weight (≥10 kDa) HA. To further optimize association, we increased the surface-available HA. We synthesized a bottlebrush glycopolymer composed of a polynorbornene backbone and pendant 5 kDa HA and layered this macromolecule onto NPs. Flow cytometry revealed that the LbL HA bottlebrush NP outperformed the LbL linear display of HA. Cellular visualization by deconvolution optical microscopy corroborated results from all three constructs. Using exogenous HA to block NP-CD44 interactions, we found the LbL HA bottlebrush NP had a 4-fold higher binding avidity than the best-performing LbL linear HA NP. We further observed that decreasing the density of HA bottlebrush side chains to 75% had minimal impact on LbL NP stability or cell association, though we did see a reduction in binding avidity with this side-chain-modified NP. Our studies indicate that LbL surfaces are highly effective for multivalent displays, and the mode in which they present a targeting ligand can be optimized for NP cell targeting.

Abstract
Sequential periodate-chlorite oxidation of sodium hyaluronate to 2,3-dicarboxylated hyaluronate (DCH), a novel biocompatible and highly functionalized derivative bearing additional pair of COOH groups at C2 and C3 carbons of oxidized ᴅ-glucuronic acid units, is investigated. The impact of various reaction parameters (time, oxidizer concentration, and molar amount) on DCH's composition, molecular weight, degree of oxidation, and cytotoxicity are investigated to guide the synthesis of DCH derivatives of desired properties. Subsequently, fully (99%) and partially (70%) oxidized DCH derivatives were compared to untreated sodium hyaluronate in terms of anticancer drug cisplatin loading efficacy, carrier capacity, drug release rates, and cytotoxicity towards healthy and cancerous cell lines. DCH derivatives were found to be superior in every aspect, having nearly twice the carrier capacity, significantly slower release rates, and higher efficacy. DCH is thus a highly interesting hyaluronate derivative with an adjustable degree of oxidation, molecular weight, and great potential for further modifications.

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
Cartilage regeneration after injury is still a great challenge in clinics, which suffers from its avascularity and poor proliferative ability. Herein we designed a novel biocompatible cellulose nanocrystal/GelMA (gelatin-methacrylate anhydride)/HAMA (hyaluronic acid-methacrylate anhydride)-blended hydrogel scaffold system, loaded with synthetic melanin nanoparticles (SMNP) and a bioactive drug kartogenin (KGN) for theranostic purpose. We found that the SMNP-KGN/Gel showed favorable mechanical property, thermal stability, and distinct magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast enhancement. Meanwhile, the sustained release of KGN could recruit bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells to proliferate and differentiate into chondrocytes, which promoted cartilage regeneration in vitro and in vivo. The hydrogel degradation and cartilage restoration were simultaneously monitored by multiparametric MRI for 12 weeks, and further confirmed by histological analysis. Together, these results validated the multifunctional hydrogel as a promising tissue engineering platform for noninvasive imaging-guided precision therapy in cartilage regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has a special position among glycosaminoglycans. As a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). This simple, unbranched polysaccharide is involved in the regulation of various biological cell processes, whether under physiological conditions or in cases of cell damage. This review summarizes the history of this molecule’s study, its distinctive metabolic pathway in the body, its unique properties, and current information regarding its interaction partners. Our main goal, however, is to intensively investigate whether this relatively simple polymer may find applications in protecting against ionizing radiation (IR) or for therapy in cases of radiation-induced damage. After exposure to IR, acute and belated damage develops in each tissue depending upon the dose received and the cellular composition of a given organ. A common feature of all organ damage is a distinct change in composition and structure of the ECM. In particular, the important role of HA was shown in lung tissue and the variability of this flexible molecule in the complex mechanism of radiation-induced lung injuries. Moreover, HA is also involved in intermediating cell behavior during morphogenesis and in tissue repair during inflammation, injury, and would healing. The possibility of using the HA polymer to affect or treat radiation tissue damage may point to the missing gaps in the responsible mechanisms in the onset of this disease. Therefore, in this article, we will also focus on obtaining answers from current knowledge and the results of studies as to whether hyaluronic acid can also find application in radiation science.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is a common bacterium whose drug-resistant can cause surgical failures and incurable infections in hospital patients. Thus, how to reverse or delay the resistance induction has become a great challenge for development anti-resistant drug. Recently, the combination of nanomaterial-loaded antibiotics with photothermal therapy showed the efficient anti-bacteria ability under low dosage of antibiotics. In this work, a nanocomposite of HMPB NPs with inherent photothermal therapy capability was used to eradicate K. pneumoniae after loading with Ofloxacin, an antibiotic against K. pneumoniae in vitro and in vivo. The nanocomplexes named as Ofloxacin@HMPB@HA NPs showed higher effect against K. pneumoniae by destroying cell integrity and inducing ATP leakage with the assistance of laser irradiation, compared with sole Ofloxacin@HMPB@HA NPs or laser irradiation. Surgical wound infection assay further demonstrated the efficient killing K. pneumoniae and promoting the formation of new tissues, as well, which was reflected by the rapid healing of surgical wound. In summary, these results indicate the great potential of this combinational tactic based on Ofloxacin@HMPB@HA NPs for preventing the failure caused by K. pneumoniae infection.

Abstract
Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a rare gynecological condition. This disease causes menstrual disturbances, infertility, and various health problems. Historically, hormone replacement therapy is the first-line treatment for this disorder. Women diagnosed with POI are left with limited therapeutic options. In order to remedy this situation, a new generation of therapeutic approaches, such as in vitro activation, mitochondrial activation technique, stem cell and exosomes therapy, biomaterials strategies, and platelet-rich plasma intra-ovarian infusion, is being developed. However, these emerging therapies are yet in the experimental stage and require precise design components to accelerate their conversion into clinical treatments. Thus, each medical practitioner bears responsibility for selecting suitable therapies for individual patients. In this article, we provide a timely analysis of the therapeutic strategies that are available for POI patients and discuss the prospects of POI therapy.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) targeted cell imaging has become a research hotspot due to the advantages of deeper tissue penetration, minimal interference from the background signals, and lower light damage. Herein, we report a multivalent supramolecular aggregate with NIR fluorescence emission, which was fabricated from triphenylamine derivatives (TPAs), cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), Si-rhodamine (SiR), and hyaluronic acid (HA). Interestingly, possessing a rigid luminescent core and cationic phenylpyridinium units linked by flexible alkyl chains, the tripaddle hexacationic TPA could bind with CB[8] at a 2:3 stoichiometric ratio to form a network-like multivalent assembly with enhanced red luminescence. Such organic two-dimensional network-like aggregate further co-assembled with the energy acceptor SiR and cancer cell targeting agent HA, leading to nanoparticles with NIR emission at 675 nm via an intermolecular energy transfer pathway. Furthermore, the obtained multivalent supramolecular aggregate was successfully applied in lysosome targeted imaging toward A549 cancer cells, which provides a convenient strategy for NIR targeted cell imaging.

Abstract
Antiproliferative chemotherapeutic agents offer a potential effective treatment for inflammatory arthritis. However, their clinical application is limited by high systemic toxicity, low joint bioavailability as well as formulation challenges. Here, we report an intra-articular drug delivery system combining hyaluronic acid hydrogels and drug nanocrystals to achieve localized and sustained delivery of an antiproliferative chemotherapeutic agent camptothecin for long-term treatment of inflammatory arthritis. We synthesized a biocompatible, in situ-forming injectable hyaluronic acid hydrogel using a naturally occurring click chemistry: cyanobenzothiazole/cysteine reaction, which is the last step reaction in synthesizing D-luciferin in fireflies. This hydrogel was used to encapsulate camptothecin nanocrystals (size of 160-560 nm) which released free camptothecin in a sustained manner for 4 weeks. In vivo studies confirmed that the hydrogel remained in the joint over 4 weeks. By using the collagen-induced arthritis rat model, we demonstrate that the hydrogel-camptothecin formulation could alleviate arthritis severity as indicated by the joint size and interleukin-1β level in the harvested joints, as well as from histological and microcomputed tomography evaluation of joints. The hydrogel-nanocrystal formulation strategy described here offers a potential solution for intra-articular therapy for inflammatory arthritis.

Abstract
Biofouling is the unwanted adsorption of cells, proteins, or intracellular and extracellular biomolecules that can spontaneously occur on the surface of metal nanocomplexes. It represents a major issue in bioinorganic chemistry because it leads to the creation of a protein corona, which can destabilize a colloidal solution and result in undesired macrophage-driven clearance, consequently causing failed delivery of a targeted drug cargo. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a bioactive, natural mucopolysaccharide with excellent antifouling properties, arising from its hydrophilic and polyanionic characteristics in physiological environments which prevent opsonization. In this study, hyaluronate-thiol (HA-SH) (MW 10 kDa) was used to surface-passivate gold nanoparticles (GNPs) synthesized using a citrate reduction method. HA functionalized GNP complexes (HA-GNPs) were characterized using absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering. GNP cellular uptake and potential dose-dependent cytotoxic effects due to treatment were evaluated in vitro in HeLa cells using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and trypan blue and MTT assays. Further, we quantified the in vivo biodistribution of intratumorally injected HA functionalized GNPs in Lewis Lung carcinoma (LLC) solid tumors grown on the flank of C57BL/6 mice and compared localization and retention with nascent particles. Our results reveal that HA-GNPs show overall greater peritumoral distribution (** p < 0.005, 3 days post-intratumoral injection) than citrate-GNPs with reduced biodistribution in off-target organs. This property represents an advantageous step forward in localized delivery of metal nano-complexes to the infiltrative region of a tumor, which may improve the application of nanomedicine in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural polymer, produced endogenously by the human body, which has unique physicochemical and biological properties, exhibiting desirable biocompatibility and biodegradability. Therefore, it has been widely studied for possible applications in the area of inflammatory diseases. Although exogenous HA has been described as unable to restore or replace the properties and activities of endogenous HA, it can still provide satisfactory pain relief. This review aims to discuss the advances that have been achieved in the treatment of inflammatory diseases using hyaluronic acid as a key ingredient, essentially focusing on studies carried out between the years 2017 and 2021.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are the most abundant and one of the most important biomacromolecules in Nature. Except for energy-related compounds, carbohydrates can be roughly divided into two categories: Carbohydrates as matter and carbohydrates as information. As matter, carbohydrates are abundantly present in the extracellular matrix of animals and cell walls of various plants, bacteria, fungi, etc., serving as scaffolds. Some commonly found polysaccharides are featured as biocompatible materials with controllable rigidity and functionality, forming polymeric biomaterials which are widely used in drug delivery, tissue engineering, etc. As information, carbohydrates are usually referred to the glycans from glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans, which bind to proteins or other carbohydrates, thereby meditating the cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. These glycans could be simplified as synthetic glycopolymers, glycolipids, and glycoproteins, which could be afforded through polymerization, multistep synthesis, or a semisynthetic strategy. The information role of carbohydrates can be demonstrated not only as targeting reagents but also as immune antigens and adjuvants. The latter are also included in this review as they are always in a macromolecular formulation. In this review, we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of carbohydrate-based macromolecular biomaterials since 2010 while emphasizing the fundamental understanding to guide the rational design of biomaterials. Carbohydrate-based macromolecules on the basis of their resources and chemical structures will be discussed, including naturally occurring polysaccharides, naturally derived synthetic polysaccharides, glycopolymers/glycodendrimers, supramolecular glycopolymers, and synthetic glycolipids/glycoproteins. Multiscale structure-function relationships in several major application areas, including delivery systems, tissue engineering, and immunology, will be detailed. We hope this review will provide valuable information for the development of carbohydrate-based macromolecular biomaterials and build a bridge between the carbohydrates as matter and the carbohydrates as information to promote new biomaterial design in the near future.

Abstract
Multivalent antibody-recruiting glycopolymers (MARGs) composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) grafted with multiple copies of dinitrophenol (DNP) were developed for targeted cancer immunotherapy. Structure-activity studies demonstrated that the MARGs were able to specifically recognize CD44-positive cancer cells and displayed remarkable antibody-recruiting capacities and tumor cell killing activities dependent on the introduced multivalent effect and the length of PEG linker. One of the MARGs, HA-[PEG3 -DNP]8 , showed the best capacity for clustering anti-DNP antibodies onto CD44-positive cancer cells and displayed potent in vitro anti-cancer activity by triggering complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Moreover, we found that HA-[PEG3 -DNP]8 significantly inhibited the xenograft tumor growth of Babl/c nude mice bearing triple negative breast cancer cells, while it did not cause detectable histological cytotoxicity. Given the easy access of this type of natural glycopolymer and the practical synthesis approach, these MARGs provide promising immunotherapeutics for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Background Wilson disease (WD) is a genetic disorder of copper storage, resulting in pathological accumulation of copper in the body. Because symptoms are generally related to the liver, chelating agents capable of capturing excess copper ions after targeted delivery to the liver are highly required for the treatment of WD. Methods We developed hyaluronate-diaminohexane/black phosphorus (HA-DAH/BP) complexes for capturing copper ions accumulated in the liver for the treatment of WD. Results HA-DAH/BP complexes showed high hepatocyte-specific targeting efficiency, selective copper capturing capacity, excellent biocompatibility, and biodegradability. HA enhanced the stability of BP nanosheets and increased copper binding capacity. In vitro cellular uptake and competitive binding tests verified targeted delivery of HA-DAH/BP complexes to liver cells via HA receptor mediated endocytosis. The cell viability test confirmed the high biocompatibility of HA-DAH/BP complexes. Conclusion HA-DAH/BP complexes would be an efficient copper chelating agent to remove accumulated copper in the liver for the WD treatment.

Abstract
Hydrogels are an important class of biomaterials with the unique property of high-water content in a crosslinked polymer network. In particular, chemically crosslinked hydrogels have made a great clinical impact in past years because of their desirable mechanical properties and tunability of structural and chemical properties. Various polymers and step-growth crosslinking chemistries are harnessed for fabricating such covalently crosslinked hydrogels for translational research. However, selecting appropriate crosslinking chemistries and polymers for the intended clinical application is time-consuming and challenging. It requires the integration of polymer chemistry knowledge with thoughtful crosslinking reaction design. This task becomes even more challenging when other factors such as the biological mechanisms of the pathology, practical administration routes, and regulatory requirements add additional constraints. In this review, key features of crosslinking chemistries and polymers commonly used for preparing translatable hydrogels are outlined and their performance in biological systems is summarized. The examples of effective polymer/crosslinking chemistry combinations that have yielded clinically approved hydrogel products are specifically highlighted. These hydrogel design parameters in the context of the regulatory process and clinical translation barriers, providing a guideline for the rational selection of polymer/crosslinking chemistry combinations to construct hydrogels with high translational potential are further considered.

Abstract
It is highly tempting to develop high-efficacy targeted nanotherapeutics based on FDA approved polymers like PLGA. Herein, we describe facile fabrication of robust, hyaluronic acid-surfaced and disulfide-crosslinked star-PLGA nanoparticles (HA-sPLGA XNPs) for targeted and reduction-triggered release of docetaxel (DTX), achieving markedly enhanced treatment of A549 lung tumor in vivo. HA-sPLGA XNPs carrying 5.2 wt.% DTX (DTX-HA-sPLGA XNPs) had a size of 105.5 ± 0.5 nm and great stability while almost completely released DTX under 10 mM glutathione. Confocal and flow cytometry experiments revealed fast cellular uptake of HA-sPLGA XNPs by CD44-overexpressing A549 cells. DTX-HA-sPLGA XNPs held much higher potency to A549 cells than DTX-loaded HA-surfaced and non-crosslinked star-PLGA nanoparticles (DTX-HA-sPLGA NPs), DTX-loaded HA-surfaced and non-crosslinked linear-PLGA nanoparticles (DTX-HA-lPLGA NPs), and free DTX (IC50 = 0.18 versus 0.38, 1.21 and 0.83 µg DTX equiv./mL). Intriguingly, DTX-HA-sPLGA XNPs revealed a prolonged elimination half-life of 4.18 h and notable accretion of 9.49%ID/g in A549 tumor after 8 h injection. Accordingly, DTX-HA-sPLGA XNPs demonstrated significantly better suppression of subcutaneous A549 lung tumor than DTX-HA-PLGA NPs, DTX-HA-lPLGA NPs, and free DTX controls. HA-sPLGA XNPs with low toxicity and multi-functionality appear to be a unique targeted vehicle for chemotherapy of CD44-overexpressing tumors. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: PLGA nanoparticles with superior safety and biodegradability are among the most advanced vehicles for therapeutic delivery. The efficacy of nanomedicines based on PLGA is, however, suboptimal, due to poor tumor cell selectivity and uptake, drug leakage, and slow drug release at the pathological site. It is highly desired to develop functional PLGA nanoparticles to improve their tumor-targeting ability and therapeutic efficacy. The sophisticated fabrication and potential toxicity concerns of reported novel PLGA nanoformulations, nevertheless, preclude their clinical translation. Here, we developed hyaluronic acid-surfaced and disulfide-crosslinked star-PLGA nanoparticles (HA-sPLGA XNPs) that enabled stable encapsulation and targeted delivery of docetaxel (DTX) to CD44+ A549 lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, affording markedly improved tumor accumulation and repression and lower side effects compared with free DTX control. Importantly, HA-sPLGA XNPs are based on fully biocompatible materials and comparably simple to fabricate. The evident tumor targetability and safety makes HA-sPLGA XNPs a unique and potentially translatable platform for chemotherapy of CD44+ cancers.

Abstract
Click chemistry is not a single specific reaction, but describes ways of generating products which emulate examples in nature. Click reactions occur in one pot, are not disturbed by water, generate minimal and inoffensive byproducts, and are characterized by a high thermodynamic driving force, driving the reaction quickly and irreversibly towards a high yield of a single reaction product. As a result, over the past 15 years it has become a very useful bio-orthogonal method for the preparation of chemical cross-linked biopolymer-based hydrogel, in the presence of e.g. growth factors and live cells, or in-vivo. Biopolymers are renewable and non-toxic, providing a myriad of potential backbone toolboxes for hydrogel design. The goal of this review is to summarize recent advances in the development of click chemistry-based biopolymeric hydrogels, and their applications in regenerative medicine. In particular, various click chemistry approaches, including copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions, copper-free click reactions (e.g. the Diels-Alder reactions, the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions, the radical mediated thiol-ene reactions, and the oxime-forming reactions), and pseudo-click reactions (e.g. the thiol-Michael addition reactions and the Schiff base reactions) are highlighted in the first section. In addition, numerous biopolymers, including proteins (e.g. collagen, gelatin, silk, and mucin), polysaccharides (e.g. hyaluronic acid, alginate, dextran, and chitosan) and polynucleotides (e.g. deoxyribonucleic acid), are discussed. Finally, we discuss biopolymeric hydrogels, cross-linked by click chemistry, intended for the regeneration of skin, bone, spinal cord, cartilage, and cornea. This article provides new insights for readers in terms of the design of regenerative medicine, and the use of biopolymeric hydrogels based on click chemistry reactions.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment responsive and self-monitored multimodal synergistic theranostic strategies can significantly improve therapeutic efficacy by overcoming biological barriers. Herein, we report a type of smart fluorescent hyaluronic acid nanogel that can respond to the reducing microenvironment and activate tumor targeting with light-traceable monitoring in cancer therapy. First, the derivative of hyaluronic acid (HA) with a vinyl group and cystamine bisacrylamide were used to synthesize bioreducible HA based nanogels via copolymerization in aqueous medium. Then, multifunctional mHA-gold cluster (mHA-GC) hybrid nanogels were successfully prepared by the in situ reduction of gold salt in the HA nanogels. The HA matrix turns the nanogels into a capsule for effective drug loading with excellent colloidal stability. Interestingly, the reducing tumor microenvironment dramatically enhanced the fluorescence signal of gold clusters in the hybrid nanogels. The highly selective cancer cell uptake and efficient intratumoral accumulation of the hybrid nanogels were demonstrated by fluorescence tracking of these nanogels. Responsive disassembly of the hybrid nanogels and drug release were triggered by excess glutathione presence in cancer cells. Moreover, in vivo and in vitro tumor suppression assays revealed that the doxorubicin-loaded hybrid nanogels exhibited significantly superior tumor cell inhibition abilities compared to free DOX. Overall, the mHA-GC hybrid nanogels emerge as a promising theranostic nanoplatform for the targeted delivery and controlled release of antitumor drugs with light-traceable monitoring in cancer treatment.

Abstract
The skin can protect the body from external harm, sense environmental changes, and maintain physiological homeostasis. Cutaneous repair and regeneration associated with surgical wounds, acute traumas, and chronic diseases are a central concern of healthcare. Patients may experience the failure of current treatments due to the complexity of the healing process; therefore, emerging strategies are needed. Hyaluronic acids (HAs, also known as hyaluronan), a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) of the extracellular matrix (ECM), play key roles in cell differentiation, proliferation, and migration throughout tissue development and regeneration. Recently, HA derivatives have been developed as regenerative biomaterials for treating skin damage and injury. In this review, the healing process, namely, hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation, is described and the role of HAs in the healing process is discussed. This review also provides recent examples in the development of HA derivatives for wound healing.

Electrospun fibers based on botanical, seaweed, microbial, and animal sourced biomacromolecules and their multidimensional applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 171:130-149. [PMID: 33412195 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.12.205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2020] [Revised: 12/20/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
This review summarizes and broadly classifies all of the major sustainable natural carbohydrate bio-macromolecular manifestations in nature - from botanical (cellulose, starch, and pectin), seaweed (alginate, carrageenan, and agar), microbial (bacterial cellulose, dextran, and pullulan), and animal (hyaluronan, heparin, chitin, and chitosan) sources - that have been contrived into electrospun fibers. Furthermore, a relative study of these biomaterials for the fabrication of nanofibers by electrospinning and their characteristics viz. solution behavior, blending nature, as well as rheological and fiber attributes are discussed. The potential multidimensional applications of nanofibers (filtration, antimicrobial, biosensor, gas sensor, energy storage, catalytic, and tissue engineering) originating from these polysaccharides and their major impacts on the properties, functionalities, and uses of these electrospun fibers are compared and critically examined.
