Int J Pharm 2024; 662:124499. [PMID: 39033938 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124499] [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: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
To reduce the bitterness of florfenicol, avoid its degradation by gastric acid, and enhance its antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli by targeting and slowly releasing drugs at the site of intestinal infection, with pectin as an anion carrier and chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) as a cationic carrier, florfenicol-loaded COS@pectin core nanogels were self-assembled by electrostatic interaction and then encapsulated in sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMCNa) shell nanogels through the complexation of CMCNa and Ca2+ to prepare florfenicol core-shell composite nanogels in this study. The florfenicol core-shell composite nanogels were investigated for their formula choice, physicochemical characterization, pH-responsive performances, antibacterial activity, therapeutic efficacy, and in vitro and in vivo biosafety studies. The results indicated that the optimized formula was 0.6 g florfenicol, 0.79 g CMCNa, 0.30 g CaCl2, 0.05 g COS, and 0.10 g pectin, respectively. In addition, the mean particle diameter, polydispersity index, zeta potential, loading capacity, and encapsulation efficiency were 124.0 ± 7.2 nm, -22.9 ± 2.5 mV, 0.42 ± 0.03, 43.4 % ± 3.1 %, and 80.5 % ± 3.4 %, respectively. The appearance, lyophilized mass, resolvability, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) showed that the florfenicol core-shell composite nanogels were successfully prepared. Florfenicol core-shell composite nanogels had satisfactory stability, rheology, and pH-responsiveness, which were conducive to avoid degradation by gastric acid and achieve targeted and slow release at intestinal infection sites. More importantly, florfenicol core-shell composite nanogels had excellent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, a satisfactory therapeutic effect, and good palatability. In vitro and in vivo biosafety studies suggested the great promise of florfenicol core-shell composite nanogels. Therefore, the prepared florfenicol core-shell composite nanogels may be helpful for the treatment of bacterial enteritis as a biocompatible oral administration.

Engineered probiotics with sustained release of interleukin-2 for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease after oral delivery. Biomaterials 2024; 309:122584. [PMID: 38735180 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122584] [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: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a kind of auto-immune disease characterized by disrupted intestinal barrier and mucosal epithelium, imbalanced gut microbiome and deregulated immune responses. Therefore, the restoration of immune equilibrium and gut microbiota could potentially serve as a hopeful approach for treating IBD. Herein, the oral probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (ECN) was genetically engineered to express secretable interleukin-2 (IL-2), a kind of immunomodulatory agent, for the treatment of IBD. In our design, probiotic itself has the ability to regulate the gut microenvironment and IL-2 at low dose could selectively promote the generation of regulatory T cells to elicit tolerogenic immune responses. To improve the bioavailability of ECN expressing IL-2 (ECN-IL2) in the gastrointestinal tract, enteric coating Eudragit L100-55 was used to coat ECN-IL2, achieving significantly enhanced accumulation of engineered probiotics in the intestine. More importantly, L100-55 coated ECN-IL2 could effectively activated Treg cells to regulate innate immune responses and gut microbiota, thereby relieve inflammation and repair the colon epithelial barrier in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induced IBD. Therefore, genetically and chemically modified probiotics with excellent biocompatibility and efficiency in regulating intestinal microflora and intestinal inflammation show great potential for IBD treatment in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a progressive and debilitating inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Despite recent advances, precise treatment and noninvasive monitoring remain challenging. METHODS Herein, we developed orally-administered, colitis-targeting and hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified, core-shell curcumin (Cur)- and cerium oxide (CeO2)-loaded nanoprobes (Cur@PC-HA/CeO2 NPs) for computed tomography (CT) imaging-guided treatment and monitoring of IBD in living mice. RESULTS Following oral administration, high-molecular-weight HA maintains integrity with little absorption in the upper GIT, and then actively accumulates at local colitis sites owing to its colitis-targeting ability, leading to specific CT enhancement lasting for 24 h. The retained NPs are further degraded by hyaluronidase in the colon to release Cur and CeO2, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Combined with the ability of NPs to regulate intestinal flora, the oral NPs result in substantial relief in symptoms. Following multiple treatments, the gradually decreasing range of the colon with high CT attenuation correlates with the change in the clinical biomarkers, indicating the feasibility of treatment response and remission. CONCLUSION This study provides a proof-of-concept for the design of a novel theranostic integration strategy for concomitant IBD treatment and the real-time monitoring of treatment responses.

Abstract
Convincing evidence suggests that aberrant gut microbiota changes play a critical role in the progression and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Probiotic therapeutic interventions targeting the microbiota may provide alternative avenues to treat IBD, but currently available probiotics often suffer from low intestinal colonization and limited targeting capability. Here, we developed azido (N3)-modified Prussian blue nanozyme (PB@N3) spatio-temporal guidance enhances the targeted colonization of probiotics to alleviate intestinal inflammation. First, clickable PB@N3 targets intestinal inflammation, simultaneously, it scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS). Subsequently, utilizing "click" chemistry to spatio-temporally guide targeted colonization of dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO)-modified Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 (LR@DBCO). The "click" reaction between PB@N3 and LR@DBCO has excellent specificity and efficacy both in vivo and in vitro. Despite the complex physiological environment of IBD, "click" reaction can prolong the retention time of probiotics in the intestine. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice model, demonstrates that the combination of PB@N3 and LR@DBCO effectively mitigates levels of ROS, enhances the colonization of probiotics, modulates intestinal flora composition and function, regulates immune profiles, restores intestinal barrier function, and alleviates intestinal inflammation. Hence, PB@N3 spatio-temporal guidance enhances targeted colonization of LR@DBCO provides a promising medical treatment strategy for IBD.

Abstract
Various clinical symptoms of digestive system, such as infectious, inflammatory, and malignant disorders, have a profound impact on the quality of life and overall health of patients. Therefore, the chase for more potent medicines is both highly significant and urgent. Nanozymes, a novel class of nanomaterials, amalgamate the biological properties of nanomaterials with the catalytic activity of enzymes, and have been engineered for various biomedical applications, including complex gastrointestinal diseases (GI). Particularly, because of their distinctive metal coordination structure and ability to maximize atom use efficiency, single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with atomically scattered metal centers are becoming a more viable substitute for natural enzymes. Traditional nanozyme design strategies are no longer able to meet the current requirements for efficient and diverse SAzymes design due to the diversification and complexity of preparation processes. As a result, this review emphasizes the design concept and the synthesis strategy of SAzymes, and corresponding bioenzyme-like activities, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Then the various application of SAzymes in GI illnesses are summarized, which should encourage further research into nanozymes to achieve better application characteristics.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) refer to multifaceted disorders in the intestinal microenvironment and microbiota homeostasis. In view of the broad bioactivity and high compatibility of polyphenols, there is considerable interest in developing a polyphenol-based collaborative platform to remodel the IBD microenvironment and regulate microbiota. Here, we demonstrated the coordination assembly of nanostructured polyphenols to modify probiotics and simultaneously deliver drugs for IBD treatment. Inspired by the distinctive structure of tannic acid (TA), we fabricated nanostructured pBDT-TA by using a self-polymerizable aromatic dithiol (BDT) and TA, which exhibited excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capability in vitro. We thus coated pBDT-TA and sodium alginate (SA) to the surface of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 layer by layer to construct the collaborative platform EcN@SA-pBDT-TA. The modified probiotics showed improved resistance to oxidative and inflammatory stress, which resulted in superior colon accumulation and retention in IBD model mice. Further, EcN@SA-pBDT-TA could alleviate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis by controlling the inflammatory response, repairing intestinal barriers, and modulating gut microbiota. Importantly, EcN@SA-pBDT-TA-mediated IBD drug delivery could achieve an improved therapeutic effect in DSS model mice. Given the availability and functionality of polyphenol and prebiotics, we expected that nanostructured polyphenol-modified probiotics provided a solution to develop a collaborative platform for IBD treatment.

Abstract
Amorphous silica nanoparticles (ASNP) are among the nanomaterials that are produced in large quantities. ASNP have been present for a long time in several fast-moving consumer products, several of which imply exposure of the gastrointestinal tract, such as toothpastes, food additives, drug excipients, and carriers. Consolidated use and experimental evidence have consistently pointed to the very low acute toxicity and limited absorption of ASNP. However, slow absorption implies prolonged exposure of the intestinal epithelium to ASNP, with documented effects on intestinal permeability and immune gut homeostasis. These effects could explain the hepatic toxicity observed after oral administration of ASNP in animals. More recently, the role of microbiota in these and other ASNP effects has attracted increasing interest in parallel with the recognition of the role of microbiota in a variety of conditions. Although evidence for nanomaterial effects on microbiota is particularly abundant for materials endowed with bactericidal activities, a growing body of recent experimental data indicates that ASNPs also modify microbiota. The implications of these effects are recounted in this contribution, along with a discussion of the more important open issues and recommendations for future research.
