[PMID: 39236775 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124658] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 08/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/31/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
Erythrocytes have gained popularity as a natural option for in vivo drug delivery due to their advantages, which include lengthy circulation times, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Consequently, the drug's pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in red blood cells can be considerably up the dosage. Here, we provide an overview of the erythrocyte membrane's structure and discuss the characteristics of erythrocytes that influence their suitability as carrier systems. We also cover current developments in the erythrocyte-based nanocarrier, which could be used for both active and passive targeting of disease tissues, particularly those of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) and cancer tissues. We also go over the most recent discoveries about the in vivo and in vitro uses of erythrocytes for medicinal and diagnostic purposes. Moreover, the clinical relevance of erythrocytes is discussed in order to improve comprehension and enable the potential use of erythrocyte carriers in the management of various disorders.

Bacterial outer membrane vesicle-cancer cell hybrid membrane-coated nanoparticles for sonodynamic therapy in the treatment of breast cancer bone metastasis. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:328. [PMID: 38858780 PMCID: PMC11165797 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02619-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer bone metastasis is a terminal-stage disease and is typically treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which causes severe side effects and limited effectiveness. To improve this, Sonodynamic therapy may be a more safe and effective approach in the future. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMV) have excellent immune-regulating properties, including modulating macrophage polarization, promoting DC cell maturation, and enhancing anti-tumor effects. Combining OMV with Sonodynamic therapy can result in synergetic anti-tumor effects. Therefore, we constructed multifunctional nanoparticles for treating breast cancer bone metastasis. We fused breast cancer cell membranes and bacterial outer membrane vesicles to form a hybrid membrane (HM) and then encapsulated IR780-loaded PLGA with HM to produce the nanoparticles, IR780@PLGA@HM, which had tumor targeting, immune regulating, and Sonodynamic abilities. Experiments showed that the IR780@PLGA@HM nanoparticles had good biocompatibility, effectively targeted to 4T1 tumors, promoted macrophage type I polarization and DC cells activation, strengthened anti-tumor inflammatory factors expression, and presented the ability to effectively kill tumors both in vitro and in vivo, which showed a promising therapeutic effect on breast cancer bone metastasis. Therefore, the nanoparticles we constructed provided a new strategy for effectively treating breast cancer bone metastasis.

Surface modification of hollow gold nanoparticles conducted by incorporating cancer cell membrane and AS1411 aptamer, aiming to achieve a dual-targeted therapy for colorectal cancer. Int J Pharm 2024; 655:124036. [PMID: 38522491 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Due to its inherent membrane structure, a nanostructure enveloped by an active cell membrane possesses distinctive characteristics such as prolonged presence in the bloodstream, precise identification capabilities, and evasion of immune responses. This research involved the production of biomimetic nanoparticles, specifically hollow gold nanoparticles (HGNPs) loaded with methotrexate (MTX), which were further coated with cancer cell membrane. These nanoparticles were then adorned with AS1411 aptamer to serve as a targeting agent (Apt-CCM-HG@MTX). The nanoplatform demonstrated precise targeting towards cancer cells due to its dual-targeting characteristic (AS1411 aptamer and C26 cancer cell membrane), exhibiting uniformity in distribution. It also displayed a desirable response to photothermal stimulation, controlled release of drugs, and exceptional properties for fluorescence imaging. The system was composed of spherical HGNPs measuring 51.33 ± 5.70 nm in diameter, which were effectively loaded with MTX using a physical absorption method. The encapsulation efficiency achieved was recorded at 79.54 %, while the loading efficiency reached 38.21 %. The targeted formulation demonstrated a noteworthy mortality of approximately 45 % in the nucleolin positive cell line, C26, as determined by in vitro cytotoxicity assays. As a result of the functionalization process applied to the homologous binding adhesion molecules found in cancer cell membranes and targeting ability of AS1411 aptamer, Apt-CCM-HG@MTX demonstrated a substantial enhancement in targeting tumors and facilitating cellular uptake during in vivo experiments. Furthermore, under NIR radiation the photothermal effect exhibited by Apt-CCM-HG@MTX in the tumor area was notably robust due to the distinctive attributes of HGNPs. The conclusions obtained from this study have the potential to assist in adopting a bioinspired strategy that will significantly improve the effective management of MTX and therapy for individuals with colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Nanoencapsulation has become a recent advancement in drug delivery, enhancing stability, bioavailability, and enabling controlled, targeted substance delivery to specific cells or tissues. However, traditional nanoparticle delivery faces challenges such as a short circulation time and immune recognition. To tackle these issues, cell membrane-coated nanoparticles have been suggested as a practical alternative. The production process involves three main stages: cell lysis and membrane fragmentation, membrane isolation, and nanoparticle coating. Cell membranes are typically fragmented using hypotonic lysis with homogenization or sonication. Subsequent membrane fragments are isolated through multiple centrifugation steps. Coating nanoparticles can be achieved through extrusion, sonication, or a combination of both methods. Notably, this analysis reveals the absence of a universally applicable method for nanoparticle coating, as the three stages differ significantly in their procedures. This review explores current developments and approaches to cell membrane-coated nanoparticles, highlighting their potential as an effective alternative for targeted drug delivery and various therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Cancer starvation/photothermal combined tumor therapy (CST/PTT) has attracted great interest attributed to their mutual compensation and synergistically enhanced effect. However, the very low O2 supply in the tumor microenvironment (TME) greatly limits the CST efficiency of glucose oxidase (GOx). Additionally, the easy degradation in blood circulation and significant off-target effects are big challenges for clinical applications of the GOx-based CST. In this study, a drug delivery system (DDS) with specific tumor-targeted GOx delivery, near-infrared (NIR) light and TME responsive O2 generation, NIR-responsive glucose consumption, high GOx loading, and efficient NIR photothermia was developed. Positively charged AuNRs@MnO2@SiO2 nanoparticles (named AMS+ NPs) were synthesized. GOx was covalently loaded with a high loading ratio of 36.0%. Finally, a thermosensitive biomimetic hybrid membrane composed of a thermosensitive lipid (TSL) membrane, red blood cell membrane (RBCM), and 4T1 cancer cell membrane (CCM) was coated on the NPs through a double-layer strategy. The AMS+-G@TSL@[RBC-CC-TSL]M NPs consumed 32.7 times glucose at 50 °C as that at 37 °C and generated 4.9 times O2 upon NIR laser irradiation. The thermosensitive biomimetic NPs showed an efficient targeting capability to the homotypic 4T1 cancer cells/tumors accompanied by good biocompatibility, macrophage evading capability, high cancer cell cytotoxicity, and excellent antitumor efficacy. The tumor growth inhibition ratio with NIR laser irradiation reached 92.8%. The AMS+-GOx@TSL@[RBC-CC-TSL]M NPs provide a smart, efficient, safe, PTT/CST combined DDS for highly efficient tumor therapy.

Abstract
Nanomedicine application in cancer therapy is an urgency because of inability of current biological therapies for complete removal of tumor cells. The development of smart and novel nanoplatforms for treatment of cancer can provide new insight in tumor suppression. Hyaluronic acid is a biopolymer that can be employed for synthesis of smart nanostructures capable of selective targeting CD44-overexpressing tumor cells. The breast and lung cancers are among the most malignant and common tumors in both females and males that environmental factors, lifestyle and genomic alterations are among the risk factors for their pathogenesis and development. Since etiology of breast and lung tumors is not certain and multiple factors participate in their development, preventative measures have not been completely successful and studies have focused on developing new treatment strategies for them. The aim of current review is to provide a comprehensive discussion about application of hyaluronic acid-based nanostructures for treatment of breast and lung cancers. The main reason of using hyaluronic acid-based nanoparticles is their ability in targeting breast and lung cancers in a selective way due to upregulation of CD44 receptor on their surface. Moreover, nanocarriers developed from hyaluronic acid or functionalized with hyaluronic acid have high biocompatibility and their safety is appreciated. The drugs and genes used for treatment of breast and lung cancers lack specific accumulation at cancer site and their cytotoxicity is low, but hyaluronic acid-based nanostructures provide their targeted delivery to tumor site and by increasing internalization of drugs and genes in breast and lung tumor cells, they improve their therapeutic index. Furthermore, hyaluronic acid-based nanostructures can be used for phototherapy-mediated breast and lung cancers ablation. The stimuli-responsive and smart kinds of hyaluronic acid-based nanostructures such as pH- and light-responsive can increase selective targeting of breast and lung cancers.

Abstract
Magnetic hyperthermia has attracted considerable attention for efficient cancer therapy because of its noninvasive nature, deep tissue penetration, and minimal damage to healthy tissues. Herein, we have fused cancer cell membrane fragments with lipids and cloaked them on magnetic nanorings to form targeted Fe nanorings (TF) for tumor-targeted magnetic hyperthermia-induced tumor ablation. In our approach, cell membrane fragments from cancer cells were fused with lipids to form vesicles, which could efficiently encapsulate magnetic nanorings, thereby forming TF. We observed that TF have high tumor uptake via homotypic targeting, where cancer cells take up TF through membrane fusion. Under an external alternating magnetic field (AMF), TF accumulated in the tumors are heated, driving magnetic-hyperthermia-induced tumor cell death. Our in vitro studies show that self-targeting TF efficiently localized in cancer cells and induced cell death with an AMF, which was shown by a live/dead assay. Our findings demonstrate the potential of TF in tumor ablation, thereby making them promising and efficient nanosystems for tumor-targeted theranostics.

Abstract
Loading hyaluronidase (Hyal) in a nanocarrier is a potent strategy to degrade the tumor extracellular matrix for tumor deep penetration and enhanced tumor therapy. Herein, a pH-sensitive biomimicking nanosystem with high Hyal loading, effective tumor targeting, and controllable release is constructed. Specifically, cationic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSNs) with large pores 13.52 nm in diameter were synthesized in a one-pot manner by adding N-[3-trimethoxysilylpropyl]-N,N,N-trimethylammonium to a reversed microemulsion reaction system. The Hyal loading rate was as high as 19.47% owing to matched pore size and the cationic surface charge. Subsequently, a pH-sensitive biomimetic hybrid membrane (pHH) composed of pH-sensitive liposome (pHL), red blood cell membrane, and pancreatic cancer cell membrane was camouflaged on the pHL-coated and doxorubicin/Hyal-loaded CMSNs (shortened as DHCM). The DHCM@pHL@pHH is stable at neutral pH while it releases the payloads smoothly in the tumor acidic microenvironment. Consequently, it can escape from macrophage clearance, be specifically taken up by pancreatic cancer cells, and efficiently accumulate at the tumor site. More importantly, it can penetrate deeply in pancreatic tumors with a tumor growth inhibition ratio of 80.46%. The nanosystem is biocompatible and has potential for clinical transformation, and the nanocarrier is promisingly applicable as a platform for encapsulation of various macromolecules for smart and tumor-targeted delivery.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy can significantly prevent tumor growth and metastasis by activating the autoimmune system without destroying normal cells. Although cancer immunotherapy has made some achievements in clinical cancer treatment, it is still restricted by systemic immunotoxicity, immune cell dysfunction, cancer heterogeneity, and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME). Biomimetic cell-derived nanoparticles are attracting considerable interest due to their better biocompatibility and lower immunogenicity. Moreover, biomimetic cell-derived nanoparticles can achieve different preferred biological effects due to their inherent abundant source cell-relevant functions.
