Bio-Inspired Drug Delivery Systems: From Synthetic Polypeptide Vesicles to Outer Membrane Vesicles. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020368. [PMID: 36839691 PMCID: PMC9965272 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020368] [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: 12/04/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Nanomedicine is a broad field that focuses on the development of nanocarriers to deliver specific drugs to targeted sites. A synthetic polypeptide is a kind of biomaterial composed of repeating amino acid units that are linked by peptide bonds. The multiplied amphiphilicity segment of the polypeptide could assemble to form polypeptide vesicles (PVs) under suitable conditions. Different from polypeptide vesicles, outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are spherical buds of the outer membrane filled with periplasmic content, which commonly originate from Gram-negative bacteria. Owing to their biodegradability and excellent biocompatibility, both PVs and OMVs have been utilized as carriers in delivering drugs. In this review, we discuss the recent drug delivery research based on PVs and OMVs. These related topics are presented: (1) a brief introduction to the production methods for PVs and OMVs; (2) a thorough explanation of PV- and OMV-related applications in drug delivery including the vesicle design and biological assessment; (3) finally, we conclude with a discussion on perspectives and future challenges related to the drug delivery systems of PVs and OMVs.

Abstract
Sarcoma is a group of rare and heterogeneous mesenchymal tumors, prone to late diagnosis and poor prognosis. Exosomes are cell-derived small extracellular vesicles found in most body fluids and contain nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and other molecules. Qualitative and quantitative changes of exosomes and the contents are associated with sarcoma progression, exhibiting their potential as biomarkers. Exosomes possess the capacity of evading immune responses, bioactivity for trafficking, tumor tropism, and lesion residence. Thus, exosomes could be engineered as tumor-specific vehicles in drugs and RNA delivery systems. Exosomes might also serve as therapeutic targets in targeted therapy and immunotherapy and be involved in chemotherapy resistance. Here, we provide a comprehensive summary of exosome applications in liquid biopsy-based diagnosis and explore their implications in the delivery system, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy resistance of sarcoma. Moreover, challenges in exosome clinical applications are raised and some future research directions are proposed.

Graphene quantum dots‐based targeted nanoprobes detecting drug delivery, imaging, and enhanced chemotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Bioeng Transl Med 2021; 7:e10270. [PMID: 35600653 PMCID: PMC9115680 DOI: 10.1002/btm2.10270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
One of the main clinical treatments for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma is chemotherapy, but systemic administration can cause serious adverse reactions. New type of nanomaterial which can actively targeting, imaging, and treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma at the same time to enhance the effect of chemotherapy, meanwhile monitoring the intracellular drug release process at the level of single cancer cell was urgently needed. GE11, an EGFR antagonist peptide, was used to target nasopharyngeal carcinoma which has positive expression of EGFR on its nucleus. GE11‐modified graphene quantum dots (GQDs@GE11) were used as drug carriers for clinical chemotherapeutics cisplatin (CDDP) and doxorubicin (DOX). The emission spectrum of GQDs (460 nm) and the excitation spectrum of DOX (470 nm) have a good overlap, thus the transfer and release process of DOX can be sensitively detected by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). CDDP was used to enhance the chemotherapy effect of nanoprobe, and the loading amount of DOX and CDDP on GQDs@GE11 nanoprobe were up to 67 and 50 mg/g, respectively. In vivo experiments have confirmed that GQDs@GE11/CDDP/DOX nanoprobe can be enriched to tumor site through specific targeting effect, and significantly inhibit tumor cell proliferation. This new type of targeted therapy fluorescent probe provides new ideas for the study of drug release process and the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Abstract
Dynamic nanoassembly-based drug delivery system (DNDDS) has evolved from being a mere curiosity to emerging as a promising strategy for high-performance diagnosis and/or therapy of various diseases. However, dynamic nano-bio interaction between DNDDS and biological systems remains poorly understood, which can be critical for precise spatiotemporal and functional control of DNDDS in vivo. To deepen the understanding for fine control over DNDDS, we aim to explore natural systems as the root of inspiration for researchers from various fields. This review highlights ingenious designs, nano-bio interactions, and controllable functionalities of state-of-the-art DNDDS under endogenous or exogenous stimuli, by learning from nature at the molecular, subcellular, and cellular levels. Furthermore, the assembly strategies and response mechanisms of tailor-made DNDDS based on the characteristics of various diseased microenvironments are intensively discussed. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives of DNDDS are briefly commented.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is one of the most serious bone malignancies with rapid speed of deterioration and low survival rate in children and teenagers. Chemotherapy is an important treatment for osteosarcoma, while the conventional small-molecule therapeutics exhibit low efficacies and severe side effects in the clinic. Drug-delivery platforms based on nanotechnology, particularly for self-stabilized delivery platforms with prolonged blood circulation, enhanced intratumoral accumulation, improved antitumor efficacy, and diminished side effects, may break the deadlock on osteosarcoma chemotherapy. Here, a cisplatin (CDDP)-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) nanogel (CDDPHANG) is prepared for effective delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) to treat osteosarcoma. Importantly, both DOX and CDDP have led clinically used antitumor drugs, and CDDP acts as a crosslinker and ancillary anticarcinogen to prevent the premature release of DOX and to achieve synergistic therapeutic performance. Because of the enhanced stability of the nanogel, this CDDP-crosslinked DOX-loaded nanomedicine (CDDPHANG/DOX) exhibits an obviously prolonged circulation time compared to free drugs. Moreover, after valid tumor accumulation, DOX and CDDP are synergistically delivered into the tumor cells and synchronously released into the intracellular acidic environment. Based on the synergistic apoptosis-inducing effects of DOX and CDDP, CDDPHANG/DOX reveals an evidently enhanced antitumor efficacy compared to free drugs and their combination, indicating its great prospects for the chemotherapy of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
In recent years, in situ chemotherapy mediated by biodegradable polymer platforms has attracted increased attention. Herein, an advanced drug delivery system, combretastatin A-4 (CA4) and docetaxel (DTX)-loaded microsphere embedded in injectable thermosensitive polypeptide hydrogel (i.e., hydrogel-microsphere (Gel-MP) construct), was reported for sequential release of drugs with different mechanisms to treat osteosarcoma synergistically. The Gel-MP construct showed sequential biodegradability and excellent biocompatibility. CA4 was preferentially released from hydrogel with faster degradation to disturb the vascular structure of the tumor and reduce the exchange of nutrients between the tumor and surrounding tissues, which created interstitial space in the tissue for DTX penetration to inhibit tumor cell proliferation. The in vivo treatment with Gel/CA4-MP/DTX efficiently suppressed the growth of mouse K7 osteosarcoma compared to other formulations. More importantly, by systematical study of histopathology and immunohistochemistry, the Gel-MP construct can significantly upregulate antiproliferation effect and reduce toxicity of drugs. Therefore, this injectable and locally sequential delivery system has a bright prospect in clinical application of in situ synergistic chemotherapy.
