Unravelling the physicochemical and antimicrobial mechanisms of human serum albumin/tannic acid coatings for medical-grade polycaprolactone scaffolds. Bioact Mater 2024; 42:68-84. [PMID: 39280579 PMCID: PMC11399811 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.08.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 07/21/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 09/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Biofilm-related biomaterial infections are notoriously challenging to treat and can lead to chronic infection and persisting inflammation. To date, a large body of research can be reviewed for coatings which potentially prevent bacterial infection while promoting implant integration. Yet only a very small number has been translated from bench to bedside. This study provides an in-depth analysis of the stability, antibacterial mechanism, and biocompatibility of medical grade polycaprolactone (mPCL), coated with human serum albumin (HSA), the most abundant protein in blood plasma, and tannic acid (TA), a natural polyphenol with antibacterial properties. Molecular docking studies demonstrated that HSA and TA interact mainly through hydrogen-bonding, ionic and hydrophobic interactions, leading to smooth and regular assemblies. In vitro bacteria adhesion testing showed that coated scaffolds maintained their antimicrobial properties over 3 days by significantly reducing S. aureus colonization and biofilm formation. Notably, amplitude modulation-frequency modulation (AMFM) based viscoelasticity mapping and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data suggested that HSA/TA-coatings cause morphological and mechanical changes on the outer cell membrane of S. aureus leading to membrane disruption and cell death while proving non-toxic to human primary cells. These results support this antibiotic-free approach as an effective and biocompatible strategy to prevent biofilm-related biomaterial infections.

Abstract
This work reports for the first time the production of condensed tannin nanoparticles stable in water via modification with glycine betaine. Pine bark, as a byproduct from the paper industry, was used as a source of condensed tannins of high molecular weight. Different glycine betaine concentrations were tested to produce condensed tannin nanoparticles, and the obtained nanoparticles were subjected to several characterization techniques (Dynamic Light Scattering, Field emission scanning electron microscopy, Zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-Attenuated total reflectance, thermogravimetric analysis). The results showed that the highest stability possessed nanoparticles with 40 wt% glycine betaine. The average particle size distribution evaluated by scanning microscopy was 124 nm. Besides, the glycine betaine-modified condensed tannin nanoparticles demonstrated higher thermal stability with the starting degradation temperature at 238 °C. Finally, obtained nanoparticles showed an antioxidant capacity of 34,209 ± 2194 μmol ET/100 g and low cytotoxicity towards healthy human cells, representing the high potential to be used as a carrier of active compounds in agriculture, food, drug and medical sector.

Abstract
The characteristics of the crosslinking between rice protein (RP) and ferulic acid (FA), gallic acid (GA), or tannin acid (TA) by covalent binding of Laccase and non-covalent binding were evaluated. The RP-polyphenol complexes greatly improved the functionality of RP. The covalent effect with higher polyphenol binding equivalence showed higher emulsion activity than the non-covalent effect. The solubility, and antioxidant activity of covalent binding were higher than that of non-covalent binding in the RP-FA group, but there was a contrasting behavior in the RP-GA group. The RP-FA was most soluble in conjugates, while the RP-GA had the highest solubility in mixtures. It was found that the covalent complexes were more stable in the intestinal tract. The content of polyphenols in the RP-TA group was rapidly increased at the later intestinal digestion, which indicated the high polyphenol-protective effect in this group. Meanwhile, the RP-TA group showed high reducing power but low digestibility.

Response of Chlorella vulgaris to exposure to CuO NPs: Contributions of particulate and dissolved metal forms as modulated by tannic acid and pH. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 272:116035. [PMID: 38309234 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
A suspension of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) is a mixture of dissolved and particulate Cu, the relative proportions of which highly depend on the water chemistry. However, the relationship between different proportions of particulate and dissolved Cu and the overall toxicity of CuO NPs is still unknown. This study investigated the response of Chlorella vulgaris to CuO NPs at varying solution pH and at different tannic acid (TA) additions, with a focus on exploring whether and how dissolved and particulate Cu contribute to the overall toxicity of CuO NPs. The results of the exposure experiments demonstrated the involvement of both dissolved and particulate Cu in inducing toxicity of CuO NPs, and the inhibition of CuO NPs on cell density of Chlorella vulgaris was found to be significantly (p < 0.05) alleviated with increased levels of TA and pH (< 8). Using the independent action model, the contribution to toxicity of particulate Cu was found to be enhanced with increasing pH values and TA concentrations. The toxic unit indicator better (R2 = 0.86, p < 0.001) explained impacts of CuO NPs on micro-algae cells than commonly used mass concentrations (R2 = 0.27-0.77, p < 0.05) across different levels of pH and TA. Overall, our study provides an additivity-based method to improve the accuracy of toxicity prediction through including contributions to toxicity of both dissolved and particulate Cu and through eliminating the uneven distribution of data due to large variations in total Cu, particulate Cu, dissolved Cu, Cu2+ activities, Cu-TA complexes and other Cu-complexes concentrations with varying water chemistry conditions.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic agents fail in clinical chemotherapy in the absence of targeting and acquired resistance. We, therefore, synthesized Fe3O4@ZIF-8@Sor@TA nanocomposite drugs based on the drug delivery properties of nanomaterials. ZIF-8 is a nanomaterial with a porous structure that can load anticancer drugs. The nanodrug used the paramagnetic property of Fe3O4 to deliver sorafenib (Sor) precisely to the tumor site, then used the pH responsiveness of ZIF-8 to slowly release Sor in the tumor microenvironment, and finally used tannic acid (TA) to inhibit P-glycoprotein to suppress the Sor resistance. The results of material characterization presented that the prepared material was structurally stable and was able to achieve a cumulative drug release of 38.2% at pH 5.0 for 72 h. The good biocompatibility of the composite was demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo experiments, which could improve antitumor activity and reduce Sor resistance through magnetic targeting TA. In conclusion, the Fe3O4@ZIF-8@Sor@TA material prepared in this study demonstrated high antitumor activity in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment, promising to reduce drug resistance and providing a novel research approach for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Tannins are a heterogenous class of polyphenolic natural products with promising cancer chemopreventive and therapeutic potential. Studies undertaken over the last 30 years have demonstrated their capacity to target many cellular pathways and molecules important in the development of cancer. Recently, new mechanisms that might be important in anti-carcinogenic activity, such as inhibition of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, reduction of cancer stem cell creation, and modulation of cancer cells metabolism have been described. Along with the mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer activity of tannins, this review focuses on their possible application as chemosensitizers in adjuvant therapy and countering multidrug resistance. Furthermore, characteristic physicochemical properties of some tannins, particularly tannic acid, are useful in the formation of nanovehicles for anticancer drugs or the isolation of circulating cancer cells. These new potential applications of tannins deserve further studies. Well-designed clinical trials, which are scarce, are needed to assess the therapeutic effects of tannins themselves or as adjuvants in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Tendinitis is a tendon disorder related to inflammation and pain, due to an injury or overuse of the tissue, which is hypocellular and hypovascular, leading to limited repair which occurs in a disorganized deposition of extracellular matrix that leads to scar formation and fibrosis, ultimately resulting in impaired tendon integrity. Current conventional treatments are limited and often ineffective, highlighting the need for new therapeutic strategies. In this work, acetalated-dextran nanoparticles (AcDEX NPs) loaded with curcumin and coated with tannic acid (TA) are developed to exploit the anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties of the two compounds. For this purpose, a microfluidic technique was used in order to obtain particles with a precise size distribution, aiming to decrease the batch-to-batch variability for possible future clinical translation. Coating with TA increased not only the stability of the nanosystem in different media but also enhanced the interaction and the cell-uptake in primary human tenocytes and KG-1 macrophages. The nanosystem exhibited good biocompatibility toward these cell types and a good release profile in an inflammatory environment. The efficacy was demonstrated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, in which the curcumin loaded in the particles showed good anti-inflammatory properties by decreasing the expression of NF-κb and TA-coated NPs showing anti-fibrotic effect, decreasing the gene expression of TGF-β. Overall, due to the loading of curcumin and TA in the AcDEX NPs, and their synergistic activity, this nanosystem has promising properties for future application in tendinitis.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the structures and functional properties of tannin- and lignin-derived nano- and microparticles and the coatings prepared from them. Nanoparticles prepared from technical lignins and water-insoluble tannin obtained from softwood bark showed large differences in the suspension testing of antibacterial efficacy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria. A common factor among the most effective lignin nanoparticles was a relatively low molar mass of the lignin, but that alone did not guarantee high efficacy. Tannin nanoparticles showed good antibacterial activity both in suspension testing and as coatings applied onto cellulose. The nanoparticles of nitrogen-modified tannin and the small microparticles of nitrogen-modified kraft lignin exhibited promising flame-retardant parameters when applied as coatings on cellulose. These results illustrate the potential of nano- and microsized particles of unmodified and chemically modified polyphenols to provide functional coatings to cellulosic substrates for environments and applications with high hygiene and fire safety requirements.

Abstract
Amphotericin B (AmB) is one of the first-line treatments for systemic fungal infections, yet it suffers from dose-limiting systemic toxicity and high cost of less toxic lipid-based formulations. Here, we report on a facile approach to synthesize an AmB-loaded nanomedicine by leveraging plant-inspired oxidative self-polymerization of the ubiquitous polyphenol quercetin (QCT). Polymerized QCT nanoparticles (pQCT NPs) were formed, loaded with AmB, and functionalized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to impart steric stability in a simple procedure that relied on mixing followed by dialysis. The AmB-loaded NPs (AmB@pQCT-PEG NPs) were characterized by a drug loading efficiency of more than 90%, a particle size of around 160 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.07, and a partially negative surface charge. AmB release from the NPs was sustained over several days and followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model with a release exponent (n) value >0.85, denoting drug release by polymer relaxation and swelling. A hemolysis assay revealed the NPs to be highly biocompatible, with negligible hemolytic activity and 30-60% hemolysis after 1 and 24 h of incubation with erythrocytes, respectively, across a wide concentration range (6.25-100.00 μg/mL). Conversely, equivalent concentrations of free AmB caused 90-100% hemolysis within the same timeframe. Importantly, AmB@pQCT-PEG NPs outperformed free AmB in microbial susceptibility assays on Candida albicans, achieving a minimum inhibitory concentration of 62.5 ng/mL after 48 h of incubation, which was 2-fold lower than the free drug. Our results demonstrate that pQCT NPs may serve as a viable AmB delivery platform for the treatment of fungal infections and potentially other AmB-susceptible pathogens.

Abstract
Accumulation of reactive oxygen species in cells leads to oxidative stress, with consequent damage for cellular components and activation of cell-death mechanisms. Oxidative stress is often associated with age-related conditions, as well as with several neurodegenerative diseases. For this reason, antioxidant molecules have attracted a lot of attention, especially those derived from natural sources─like polyphenols and tannins. The main issue related to the use of antioxidants is their inherent tendency to be oxidized, their quick enzymatic degradation in biological fluids, and their poor bioavailability. Nanomedicine, in this sense, has helped in finding new solutions to deliver and protect antioxidants; however, the concentration of the encapsulated molecule in conventional nanosystems could be very low and, therefore, less effective. We propose to exploit the properties of tannic acid, a known plant-derived antioxidant, to chelate iron ions, forming hydrophobic complexes that can be coated with a biocompatible and biodegradable phospholipid to improve stability in biological media. By combining nanoprecipitation and hot sonication procedures, we obtained three-dimensional networks composed of tannic acid-iron with a hydrodynamic diameter of ≈200 nm. These nanostructures show antioxidant properties and scavenging activity in cells after induction of an acute chemical pro-oxidant insult; moreover, they also demonstrated to counteract damage induced by oxidative stress both in vitro and on an in vivo model organism (planarians).

Multifunctional "ball-rod" Janus nanoparticles boosting Fenton reaction for ferroptosis therapy of non-small cell lung cancer. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 621:12-23.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly found cell death mechanism, which could bypass apoptosis and reverse multidrug resistance of tumors. However, efficient induction of tumor ferroptosis remains a challenge. In this study, multifunctional "ball-rod" Janus nanoparticles (FTG/L&SMD) were constructed for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ferroptosis treatment. Protected by tannic acid (TA), FTG/L&SMD maintains long-term function in blood circulation, while modification by 2, 3-dimethylmaleic anhydride (DMMA) confers the FTG/L&SMD with pH-responsive charge reversal. Glucose oxidase (GOD) on FTG/L&SMD catalyzes glucose to produce H2O2. Then, iron ion converts H2O2 to highly active hydroxyl radicals (OH•) via Fenton reaction, leading to lethal lipid peroxidation (LPO) accumulation. Meanwhile, TA reduces Fe3+ to Fe2+ to boost Fenton reaction cycle. Sor down-regulated glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression in another pathway to induce ferroptosis synergistically. In vitro studies have shown that compared with sorafenib (Sor), FTG/L&SMD not only has more efficient tumor targeting and higher cytotoxicity, but also inhibits tumor migration. In vivo antitumor therapy experiments demonstrate that FTG/L&SMD inhibits tumor growth efficiently, and its toxicity is negligible. In general, FTG/L&SMD can initiate Fenton reaction cycle and reinforced ferroptosis to kill tumor cells, which is a promising anti-tumor nano-drug for NSCLC.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) is a bioactive natural compound with potent antioxidant and anticancer properties. However, its poor water solubility has been a major limitation against its widespread clinical use. The aim of this study was to develop a nanoscale formulation for CUR to improve its solubility and potentially enhance its bioactivity, by leveraging the self-assembly behavior of tannic acid (TA) and amphiphilic poloxamers to form CUR-entrapped nanoassemblies. To optimize drug loading, formulation variables included the CUR: TA ratio and the type of amphiphilic polymer (Pluronic® F-127 or Pluronic® P-123). The optimal CUR nanoparticles (NPs) were around 200 nm in size with a high degree of monodispersity and 56% entrapment efficiency. Infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of intermolecular interactions between CUR and the NP formulation components. X-ray diffraction revealed that CUR was entrapped in the NPs in an amorphous state. The NPs maintained excellent colloidal stability under various conditions. In vitro release of CUR from the NPs showed a biphasic controlled release pattern up to 72 h. Antioxidant and antiproliferative assays against a panel of human cancer cell lines revealed significantly higher activity for CUR NPs compared to free CUR, particularly in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. This was attributed to greater cellular uptake of the NPs compared to the free drug as verified by confocal microscopy imaging and flow cytometry measurements. Our findings present a highly promising NP delivery platform for CUR prepared via a simple self-assembly process with the ability to potentiate its bioactivity in cancer and other diseases where oxidative stress is implicated.

Abstract
Infection is the major cause of morbidity after breast implant surgery. Biodegradable medical-grade polycaprolactone (mPCL) scaffolds designed and rooted in evidence-based research offer a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of routinely used silicone implants for breast reconstruction. Nevertheless, as with any implant, biodegradable scaffolds are susceptible to bacterial infection too, especially as bacteria can rapidly colonize the biomaterial surface and form biofilms. Biofilm-related infections are notoriously challenging to treat and can lead to chronic infection and persisting inflammation of surrounding tissue. To date, no clinical solution that allows to efficiently prevent bacterial infection while promoting correct implant integration, has been developed. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time, to our knowledge that the physical immobilization of 1 and 5% human serum albumin (HSA) onto the surface of 3D printed macro- and microporous mPCL scaffolds, resulted in a reduction of Staphylococcus aureus colonization by 71.7 ± 13.6% and 54.3 ± 12.8%, respectively. Notably, when treatment of scaffolds with HSA was followed by tannic acid (TA) crosslinking/stabilization, uniform and stable coatings with improved antibacterial activity were obtained. The HSA/TA-coated scaffolds were shown to be stable when incubated at physiological conditions in cell culture media for 7 days. Moreover, they were capable of inhibiting the growth of S. aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, two most commonly found bacteria in breast implant infections. Most importantly, 1%HSA/10%TA- and 5%HSA/1%TA-coated scaffolds were able to reduce S. aureus colonization on the mPCL surface, by 99.8 ± 0.1% and 98.8 ± 0.6%, respectively, in comparison to the non-coated control specimens. This system offers a new biomaterial strategy to effectively translate the prevention of biofilm-related infections on implant surfaces without relying on the use of prophylactic antibiotic treatment.

Abstract
The production of graphene oxide (GO) in large amounts for commercialization in the chemical industry has been limited because harsh and tedious process conditions are required. In this study, a novel carbon nanomaterial called 'bottom-up graphene oxide (BGO)' could be easily prepared for the first time by heat treatment of the mixture of citric acid (CA) and tannic acid (TA) with different weight ratios for the first time. BGO3 prepared using a 50/50 weight ratio of CA/TA was found to have an average lateral size of 250.0 nm and an average thickness of 7.2 nm, and it was further functionalized with cardanol to prepare cardanol functionalized BGO3 (CBGO3) to be used as a filler for the polypropylene (PP) nanocomposite, where cardanol was used to increase the compatibility between BGO3 and PP. The improved mechanical properties and thermal stability of PP nanocomposites containing CBGO3 could be ascribed to the intrinsic mechanical properties of the carbon nanomaterial and the increased compatibility by the attached cardanol on BGO3.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is in the spotlight of therapeutic innovation, with numerous advantages for tumor visualization and eradication. The end goal of the therapeutic use of nanoparticles, however, remains distant due to the limitations of nanoparticles to target cancer tissue. The functionalization of nanosystem surfaces with biological ligands is a major strategy for directing the actions of nanomaterials specifically to tumor cells. Cancer formation and metastasis are accompanied by profound alterations in protein glycosylation. Hence, the detection and targeting of aberrant glycans are of great value in cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this review, we provide a brief update on recent progress targeting aberrant glycosylation by functionalizing nanoparticles with glycan-binding molecules (with a special focus on lectins and anti-glycan antibodies) to improve the efficacy of nanoparticles in cancer targeting, diagnosis, and therapy and outline the challenges and limitations in implementing this approach. We envision that the combination of nanotechnological strategies and cancer-associated glycan targeting could remodel the field of cancer diagnosis and therapy, including immunotherapy.

Abstract
One of the long-standing challenges in materials science involves synthesizing biomaterials that recapitulate important features of native biological tissues. Even though, the number of available biomaterials at the moment are virtually limitless, few of them has unlocked all the secrets of the human body by mimicking the combinatorial-like material properties of our tissues and organs. Inspired by the human body, we have developed a polymeric gum, which combines stretchability, toughness, strength, flexibility, and self-healing. It also exhibits a high bioactivity that can target and eliminate bacterial infections fast and reliably. Notably, this material is moldable into almost any complex shape, and therefore suitable as a building block for wearables designed to conform directly with the curved and personalized anatomy of patients. It also exhibits excellent drug retention and release capacity, which altogether makes it suitable for applications in personalized wearable drug-delivery devices.

Abstract
Bone metastasis occurs in the majority of cancer patients, which hampers quality of life and significantly decreases survival. Aggressive chemotherapy is a traditional treatment regimen that induces severe systemic toxicities. Therefore, bone-directed therapies are highly warranted. We report a novel nanoparticle formulation that is composed of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and tannic acid core nanoparticles (PVT NPs) that forms self-assembly with zoledronic acid (ZA@PVT NPs). The construction of ZA@PVT NPs was confirmed by particle size, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy, and spectral analyses. An optimized bone-targeted ZA@PVT NPs formulation showed greater binding and internalization in in vitro with metastasis prostate and breast cancer cells. ZA@PVT NPs were able to deliver ZA more efficiently to tumor cells, which inhibited proliferation of human prostate and breast cancer cells. In addition, ZA@PVT NPs were capable of targeting mouse bones and prostate tumor microarray tissues (ex vivo) while sparing all other vital organs. More importantly, ZA@PVT NPs induce chemo sensitization to docetaxel treatment in cancer cells. Overall, the study results confirm that ZA-based, bone-targeted NPs have great potential for the treatment of bone metastasis in the near future.
