Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:130043. [PMID: 38340921 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130043] [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: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)-responsive nanodrug vehicles have garnered significant attention as antitumor drug delivery systems due to the extensive research on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) within the tumor extracellular matrix (ECM). These nanodrug vehicles exhibit stable circulation in the bloodstream and accumulate specifically in tumors through various mechanisms. Upon reaching tumor tissues, their structures are degraded in response to MMP-2 within the ECM, resulting in drug release. This controlled drug release significantly increases drug concentration within tumors, thereby enhancing its antitumor efficacy while minimizing side effects on normal organs. This review provides an overview of MMP-2 characteristics, enzyme-sensitive materials, and current research progress regarding their application as MMP-2-responsive nanodrug delivery system for anti-tumor drugs, as well as considering their future research prospects. In conclusion, MMP-2-sensitive drug delivery carriers have a broad application in all kinds of nanodrug delivery systems and are expected to become one of the main means for the clinical development and application of nanodrug delivery systems in the future.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is an important cancer treatment modality, but the clinical utility of chemotherapeutics is limited by their toxic side effects, inadequate distribution and insufficient intracellular concentrations. Nanodrug delivery systems (NDDSs) have shown significant advantages in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Variable NDDSs that respond to endogenous and exogenous triggers have attracted much research interest. Here, we summarized nanomaterials commonly used for tumor therapy, such as peptides, liposomes, and carbon nanotubes, as well as the responses of NDDSs to pH, enzymes, magnetic fields, light, and multiple stimuli. Specifically, well-designed NDDSs can change in size or morphology or rupture when induced by one or more stimuli. The varying responses of NDDSs to stimulation contribute to the molecular design and development of novel NDDSs, providing new ideas for improving drug penetration and accumulation, inhibiting tumor resistance and metastasis, and enhancing immunotherapy.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have attracted the attention of chemists, who have developed numerous systems for the encapsulation of a plethora of molecules, allowing the use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles for biomedical applications. MSNs have been extensively studied for their use in nanomedicine, in applications such as drug delivery, diagnosis, and bioimaging, demonstrating significant in vivo efficacy in different preclinical models. Nevertheless, for the transition of MSNs into clinical trials, it is imperative to understand the characteristics that make MSNs effective and safe. The biosafety properties of MSNs in vivo are greatly influenced by their physicochemical characteristics such as particle shape, size, surface modification, and silica framework. In this review, we compile the most relevant and recent progress in the literature up to the present by analyzing the contributions on biodistribution, biodegradability, and clearance of MSNs. Furthermore, the ongoing clinical trials and the potential challenges related to the administration of silica materials for advanced therapeutics are discussed. This approach aims to provide a solid overview of the state-of-the-art in this field and to encourage the translation of MSNs to the clinic.

Abstract
The detection of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is of great importance for diagnosis and staging of cancer. This work proposed a signal-on mass spectrometric biosensing strategy with a phospholipid-structured mass-encoded microplate for assessment of multiplex MMP activities. The designed substrate and internal standard peptides were subsequently labeled with the reagents of isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ), and DSPE-PEG(2000)maleimide was embedded on the surface of a 96-well glass bottom plate to fabricate the phospholipid-structured mass-encoded microplate, which offered a simulated environment of the extracellular space for enzyme reactions between MMPs and the substrates. The strategy achieved multiplex MMP activity assays by dropping the sample in the well for enzyme cleavages, followed by adding trypsin to release the coding regions for ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (UHPLC-MS/MS) analysis. The peak area ratios of released coding regions and their respective internal standard (IS) peptides exhibited satisfied linear ranges of 0.05-50, 0.1-250, and 0.1-100 ng mL-1 with the detection limits of 0.017, 0.046, and 0.032 ng mL-1 for MMP-2, MMP-7, and MMP-3, respectively. The proposed strategy demonstrated good practicability in inhibition analysis and detections of multiplex MMP activities in serum samples. It is of great potential for clinical applications and can be expanded for multiplex enzyme assays.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) are an inevitable trend in the development of modern "precision medicine". The goal of this work is to produce enzyme-responsive antibody nanoparticle-loaded medication (FMSN-Dox-H2-AE01) based on the EGFR antibody (AE01) and human serum albumin (HSA) shelled mesoporous silica nanoparticles. HSA and antibodies on the surface of the particlescan not only enhance the biocompatibility of the particle and avoid early drug leakage but also allow selective biodegradation triggered by matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), which are overexpressed enzymes in some tumor tissues. The cytotoxicity test confirmed favorable safety and efficacy of the ADC. The mortality rate of cancer cells is about 85-90%. Moreover, the antibody nanoparticle-loaded drug showed distinguishing controlled release efficiency toward cancer cells induced by different levels of MMP-2 and pH. This enzyme-responsive FMSN-Dox-H2-AE01 offers a promising option for cancer therapy.

Abstract
A mesoporous silica-based drug delivery system (MS@PNIPAm-PAAm NPs) was synthesized by conjugating the PNIPAm-PAAm copolymer onto the mesoporous silica (MS) surface as a gatekeeper that responds to temperature and pH changes. The drug delivery studies are carried out in vitro at different pH (7.4, 6.5, and 5.0) and temperatures (such as 25 °C and 42 °C, respectively). The surface conjugated copolymer (PNIPAm-PAAm) acts as a gatekeeper below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) (<32 °C) and as a collapsed globule structure above LCST (>32 °C), resulting in controlled drug delivery from the MS@PNIPAm-PAAm system. Furthermore, the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and cellular internalization results support the prepared MS@PNIPAm-PAAm NPs being biocompatible and readily taken up by MDA-MB-231 cells. The prepared MS@PNIPAm-PAAm NPs, with their pH-responsive drug release behavior and good biocompatibility, could be used as a drug delivery vehicle where sustained drug release at higher temperatures is required.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) currently occupies the second rank in cancer-related global female deaths. Although consistent awareness and improved diagnosis have reduced mortality in recent years, late diagnosis and resistant response still limit the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs (CDs), leading to relapse with consequent invasion and metastasis. Treatment with CDs is indeed well-versed but it is badly curtailed with accompanying side effects and inadequacies of site-specific drug delivery. As a result, drug carriers ensuring stealth delivery and sustained drug release with improved pharmacokinetics and biodistribution are urgently needed. Core-shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) have recently been a cornerstone in this context, attributed to their high surface area, low density, robust functionalization, high drug loading capacity, size-shape-controlled functioning, and homogeneous shell architecture, enabling stealth drug delivery. Recent interest in using MSNPs as drug delivery vehicles has been due to their functionalization and size-shape-driven versatilities. With such insights, this article focuses on the preparation methods and drug delivery mechanisms of MSNPs, before discussing their emerging utility in BC treatment. The information compiled herein could consolidate the database for using inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) as BC drug delivery vehicles in terms of design, application and resolving post-therapy complications.

Abstract
A transparent cornea is paramount for vision. Corneal opacity is one of the leading causes of blindness. Although conventional corneal transplantation has been successful in recovering patients’ vision, the outcomes are challenged by a global lack of donor tissue availability. Bioengineered corneal tissues are gaining momentum as a new source for corneal wound healing and scar management. Extracellular matrix (ECM)-scaffold-based engineering offers a new perspective on corneal regenerative medicine. Ultrathin stromal laminar tissues obtained from lenticule-based refractive correction procedures, such as SMall Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE), are an accessible and novel source of collagen-rich ECM scaffolds with high mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and transparency. After customization (including decellularization), these lenticules can serve as an acellular scaffold niche to repopulate cells, including stromal keratocytes and stem cells, with functional phenotypes. The intrastromal transplantation of these cell/tissue composites can regenerate native-like corneal stromal tissue and restore corneal transparency. This review highlights the current status of ECM-scaffold-based engineering with cells, along with the development of drug and growth factor delivery systems, and elucidates the potential uses of stromal lenticule scaffolds in regenerative therapeutics.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is one of the scientific advances in technology. Nanoparticles (NPs) are small materials ranging from 1 to 100 nm. When the shape of the supplied nanoparticles changes, the physiological response of the cells can be very different. Several characteristics of NPs such as the composition, surface chemistry, surface charge, and shape are also important parameters affecting the toxicity of nanomaterials. This review covered specific topics that address the effects of NPs on nanomedicine. Furthermore, mechanisms of different types of nanomaterial-induced cytotoxicities were described. The distributions of different NPs in organs and their adverse effects were also emphasized. This review provides insight into the scientific community interested in nano(bio)technology, nanomedicine, and nanotoxicology. The content may also be of interest to a broad range of scientists.

Abstract
Bioenzymes that catalyze reactions within living systems show a great promise for cancer therapy, particularly when they are integrated with nanoparticles to improve their accumulation into tumor sites. Nanomedicines can deliver toxic bioenzymes into cancer cells to directly cause their death for cancer treatment. By modulating the tumor microenvironment, such as pH, glucose concentration, hypoxia, redox levels and heat shock protein expression, bioenzyme-based nanomedicines play crucial roles in improving the therapeutic efficacy of treatments. Moreover, bioenzyme-mediated degradation of the major components in tumor extracellular matrix greatly increases the penetration and retention of nanoparticles in deep tumors and infiltration of immune cells into tumor tissues, thus enhancing the efficacies of chemotherapy, phototherapy and immunotherapy. In this review, we summarize the recent progresses of bioenzyme-based nanomedicines for enhanced cancer therapy. The design and working mechanisms of the bioenzyme-based nanomedicines to achieve enhanced chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy are introduced in detail. At the end of this review, a conclusion and current challenges and perspectives in this field are given.

Abstract
Small molecule drugs, including most chemotherapies, are rapidly degraded and/or eliminated from the body, which is why high doses of these drugs are necessary, potentially producing toxic effects. Several types of nanoparticles loaded with anti-cancer drugs have been designed to overcome the disadvantages of conventional therapies. Modified nanoparticles can circulate for a long time, thus improving the solubility and biodistribution of drugs. Furthermore, they also allow the controlled release of the payload once its target tissue has been reached. These mechanisms can reduce the exposure of healthy tissues to chemotherapeutics, since the drugs are only released in the presence of specific tumour stimuli. Overall, these properties can improve the effectiveness of treatments while reducing undesirable side effects. In this article, we review the recent advances in stimuli-responsive albumin, gold and magnetic nanostructures for controlled anti-cancer drug delivery. These nanostructures were designed to release drugs in response to different internal and external stimuli of the cellular environment, including pH, redox, light and magnetic fields. We also describe various examples of applications of these nanomaterials. Overall, we shed light on the properties, potential clinical translation and limitations of stimuli-responsive nanoparticles for cancer treatment.

Bioorg Chem 2021; 119:105559. [PMID: 34952244 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.105559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Revised: 12/04/2021] [Accepted: 12/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) based on amphiphilic polymers have attracted much attention. In this study, we reported an innovative H2O2-responsive amphiphilic polymer (TBP), bearing a H2O2-sensitive phenylboronic ester, AIE fluorophore tetraphenylethene (TPE) hydrophobic, and polyethylene glycol hydrophilic (PEG) moieties. TBP could self-assemble into micelles with an encapsulation efficiency as high as 74.9% for doxorubicin (DOX) in aqueous solution. In the presence of H2O2, TBP micelles was decomposed by oxidation, hydrolysis and rearrangement, leading to almost 80% DOX release from TBP@DOX micelles. TBP and the corresponding degradation products were biocompatible, while TBP@DOX micelles only displayed obvious toxicity toward cancer cells. Drug delivery process was clearly monitored by confocal laser scanning microscopic (CLSM) and flow cytometry (FCM) analysis. Moreover, in vivo anticancer study showed that TBP@DOX micelles were accumulated in tumor region of nude mice and effectively inhibited tumor growth. The results suggested that the reported H2O2-responsive amphiphilic polymer displayed great potential in drug delivery and tumor therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Nanomedicine is ongoing current research in the applications of nanotechnology for cancer therapy. Simply from a technology perspective, this field of research has an enormous broadening and success to date. Recently, nanomedicine has also made inroads in the treatment of cancer. Stimuli-responsive nanoparticles are an emerging field of research because its targeting capacity is of great interest in the treatment of cancer. The responsive nanoparticles are efficient in encountering different internal biological stimuli (acidic, pH, redox, and enzyme) and external stimuli (temperature, ultrasounds, magnetic field, and light), which are used as smart nanocarriers for delivery of the chemotherapeutic and imaging agents for cancer therapy. In-depth, the responsive nanocarrier that responds to the biological cues is of pronounced interest due to its capability to provide a controlled release profile at the tumor-specific site. The outlook of this review focuses on the stimuli-responsive nanocarrier drug delivery systems in sequence to address the biological challenges that need to be evaluated to overcome conventional cancer therapy.

Abstract
Phototherapy including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), as non-invasive therapy approaches, have gained accumulated attention for cancer treatment in past years. PTT and PDT can generate local hyperthermia effects and reactive oxygen species (ROS) respectively, for tumor eradication. To improve the therapeutic performance while minimizing the reverse side effects of phototherapy, extensive efforts have been devoted to developing stimuli-activatable (e.g. pH, redox, ROS, enzyme, etc) nanomaterials for tumor-specific delivery/activation of the phototherapeutics. In this review, we first overviewed the recent advances of the engineered stimuli-responsive nanovectors for the phototherapy of cancer. We particularly summarized the progress of stimuli-activatable nanomaterials-based combinatory therapy strategies for augmenting the performance of phototherapy. We further discuss challenges for the clinical translation of nanomaterials-based phototherapy.

Abstract
Cancer treatment and therapy have made significant leaps and bounds in these past decades. However, there are still cases where surgical removal is impossible, metastases are challenging, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy pose severe side effects. Therefore, a need to find more effective and specific treatments still exists. One way is through the utilization of drug delivery agents (DDA) based on nanomaterials. In 2001, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were first used as DDA and have gained considerable attention in this field. The popularity of MSNs is due to their unique properties such as tunable particle and pore size, high surface area and pore volume, easy functionalization and surface modification, high stability and their capability to efficiently entrap cargo molecules. This review describes the latest advancement of MSNs as DDA for cancer treatment. We focus on the fabrication of MSNs, the challenges in DDA development and how MSNs address the problems through the development of smart DDA using MSNs. Besides that, MSNs have also been applied as a multifunctional DDA where they can serve in both the diagnostic and treatment of cancer. Overall, we argue MSNs provide a bright future for both the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) has the characteristics of biocompatibility and long circulation, which is widely used as the carrier of insoluble anticancer drugs, but it also has some disadvantages such as weak tumor targeting and uncontrollable drug release. Herein, HSA was modified to improve its biological performance by introducing polyhistidine (pHis), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) digestion, and Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide at the separated end of HSA through gene fusion technology. The resulting protein expressed by Pichia pastoris could self-assemble into 3RGD-HSA-MMP-18His nanoparticles (RHMH18 NPs) accompanied by loading hydrophobic drug paclitaxel (PTX) into the polyhistidine micelle core. RHMH18 NPs exhibited active tumor targeting in high efficiency owing to the RGD-mediated specific binding toward ανβ3-integrin upregulated on tumor vasculature endothelium, resulting in the enrichment of therapeutic substances in tumor sites. Once reaching the tumor microenvironment, RHMH18 NPs was cut off by MMP-2 to remove the HSA-3RGD moiety, leaving the small and positively charged histidine micelle, which could penetrate the deep part of tumor tissue more effectively. Finally, the histidine micelle escaped from lysosome successfully and released drug in response to pH. The in vivo experiments' results demonstrated that the three-stage propulsion RHMH18 NPs presented superior tumor inhibition activity with minimal side effects, providing potential strategies of protein based drug delivery systems for tumor therapy.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to assess the properties of Mamaia (MM) grape pomace polyphenolic extract loaded onto pristine and functionalized MCM-41 mesoporous silica as potential ingredients for nutraceuticals or cosmetics. The chemical profile of hydroalcoholic polyphenolic extracts, prepared either by conventional extraction or microwave-assisted method, was analyzed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detector (HPLC-PDA) analysis, while their radical scavenger activity (RSA) was evaluated using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) assays. The extract-loaded materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, thermogravimetric analysis, as well as RSA (DPPH and ABTS assays). The polyphenols release profiles from pristine and functionalized (with mercaptopropyl, propyl sulfonic acid, cyanoethyl and propionic acid moieties) MCM-41-type supports were determined in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) pH 5.7. For selected materials containing embedded phytochemicals, cellular viability, and oxidative stress level on immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line (NIH3T3) were evaluated. A more acidic functional groups linked on silica pore walls determined a higher amount of phytochemicals released in PBS. The extract-loaded materials showed a good cytocompatibility on tested concentrations. The embedded extract preserved better the RSA over time than the free extract. The polyphenols-loaded MCM-41-type silica materials, especially MM@MCM-COOH material, demonstrated a good in vitro antioxidant effect on NIH3T3 cells, being potential candidates for nutraceutical or cosmetic formulations.

Abstract
Although Levodopa (l-DOPA), a dopamine precursor, exhibits a high risk of dyskinesia, it remains the primary treatment in Parkinson's disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. In this study, we designed poly(l-DOPA)-based self-assembled nanodrug (NanoDOPA) from amphiphilic block copolymer possessing poly(l-DOPA(OAc)2), which is a precursor of l-DOPA as a hydrophobic segment, for treatment in a PD model mouse. Under physiological enzyme treatment, the poly(l-DOPA(OAc)2) in the block copolymer was hydrolyzed to liberate l-DOPA gradually. Using the MPTP-induced PD mouse model, we observed that mice treated with NanoDOPA demonstrated a significant improvement of PD symptoms compared to the l-DOPA treatment. Interestingly, the NanoDOPA treatment did not cause the dyskinesia symptoms, which was clearly observed in the l-DOPA-treated mice. Furthermore, NanoDOPA exhibited remarkably lower toxicity in vitro compared to l-DOPA, in addition with no noticeable NanoDOPA toxicity observed in the treated mice. These results suggested that self-assembled NanoDOPA is a promising therapeutic in the treatment of PD. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, we proposed a therapeutic approach for the effective treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) using newly designed poly(l-DOPA)-based self-assembled nanodrug (NanoDOPA) prepared from amphiphilic block copolymers possessing poly(l-DOPA(OAc)2), which is a precursor of l-DOPA as a hydrophobic segment, for treatment in a PD model mouse. Under physiological enzyme treatments, NanoDOPA was hydrolyzed to liberate l-DOPA gradually, improving the pharmacokinetic value of l-DOPA. The mice treated with NanoDOPA significantly improved PD symptoms compared to the l-DOPA treatment in a neurotoxin-induced PD mouse model. Interestingly, NanoDOPA treatment did not cause dyskinesia symptoms, which was observed in the l-DOPA-treated mice. The obtained results in this study suggested that self-assembled NanoDOPA is a promising therapeutic in the treatment of PD.

Abstract
One appealing concept in the field of hybrid materials is related to the design of gated materials. These materials are prepared in such a way that the release of chemical or biochemical species from voids of porous supports to a solution is triggered upon the application of external stimuli. Such gated materials are mainly composed of two subunits: i) a porous inorganic scaffold in which a cargo is stored, and ii) certain molecular or supramolecular entities, grafted onto the external surface, that can control mass transport from the interior of the pores. On the basis of this concept, a large number of examples are developed in the past ten years. A comprehensive overview of gated materials used in drug delivery applications in in vivo models from 2016 to date is thus given here.

Abstract
Proteases are hydrolytic enzymes fundamental for a variety of physiological processes, but the loss of their regulation leads to aberrant functions that promote onset and progression of many diseases including cancer. Proteases have been implicated in almost every hallmark of cancer and whilst widely investigated for tumour therapy, clinical adoption of protease inhibitors as drugs remains a challenge due to issues such as off-target toxicity and inability to achieve therapeutic doses at the disease site. Now, nanotechnology-based solutions and strategies are emerging to circumvent these issues. In this review, preclinical advances in approaches to enhance the delivery of protease drugs and the exploitation of tumour-derived protease activities to promote targeting of nanomedicine formulations is examined. Whilst this field is still in its infancy, innovations to date suggest that nanomedicine approaches to protease targeting or inhibition may hold much therapeutic and diagnostic potential.
