Influence of natural polysaccharides on the morphology and properties of hybrid vaterite microcrystals. Heliyon 2024; 10:e33801. [PMID: 39027545 PMCID: PMC11255504 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e33801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Co-precipitation of biopolymers into calcium carbonate crystals changes their physicochemical and biological properties. This work studies hybrid microcrystals of vaterite obtained in the presence of natural polysaccharides, as carriers for the delivery of proteins and enzymes. Hybrid microcrystals with dextran sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, heparin, fucoidan, and pectin were obtained and compared. The impact of polysaccharides on the morphology (particle diameter, surface area, nanocrystallite and pore size), polysaccharide content and surface charge of hybrid microcrystals was studied. Only microcrystals with fucoidan and heparin exhibited antioxidant activity against •ОН radical. The surface charge and pore size of the hybrid microcrystals affected the sorption of albumin, catalase, chymotrypsin, mucin. A decrease in the catalytic constant and Michaelis constant was observed for catalase sorbed on the hybrid crystals. The biocompatibility of microcrystals depended on the nature of the included polysaccharide: crystals with sulfated polysaccharides increased blood plasma coagulation but not platelet aggregation, and crystals with dextran sulfate had the greatest cytotoxicity against HT-29 cells but not erythrocytes. Hybrid microcrystals with all polysaccharides except chondroitin sulfate reduced erythrocyte lysis in vitro compared with vaterite crystals. The obtained results enable to create novel carriers based on hybrid vaterite crystals with polysaccharides, beneficial for the delivery of protein drugs.

Abstract
Developing protein confinement platforms is an attractive research area that not only promotes protein delivery but also can result in artificial environment mimicking of the cellular one, impacting both the controlled release of proteins and the fundamental protein biophysics. Polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) are attractive platforms to confine proteins due to their superior biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, and controllable release under external stimuli. However, loading proteins into PNPs can be challenging due to the potential protein structural perturbation upon contacting the interior of PNPs. In this work, we developed a novel approach to encapsulate proteins in PNPs with the assistance of the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF). Here, ZIF offers an additional protection layer to the target protein by forming the protein@ZIF composite via aqueous-phase cocrystallization. We demonstrated our platform using a model protein, lysozyme, and a widely studied PNP composed of poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PEG-PLGA). A comprehensive study via standard loading and release tests as well as various spectroscopic techniques was carried out on lysozyme loaded onto PEG-PLGA with and without ZIF protection. As compared with the direct protein encapsulation, an additional layer with ZIF prior to loading offered enhanced loading capacity, reduced leaching, especially in the initial stage, led to slower release kinetics, and reduced secondary structural perturbation. Meanwhile, the function, cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake of proteins encapsulated within the ZIF-bound systems are decent. Our results demonstrated the use of ZIF in assisting in protein encapsulation in PNPs and established the basis for developing more sophisticated protein encapsulation platforms using a combination of materials of diverse molecular architectures and disciplines. As such, we anticipate that the protein-encapsulated ZIF systems will serve as future polymer protein confinement and delivery platforms for both fundamental biophysics and biochemistry research and biomedical applications where protein delivery is needed to support therapeutics and/or nutrients.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an important inorganic mineral in biological and geological systems. Traditionally, it is widely used in plastics, papermaking, ink, building materials, textiles, cosmetics, and food. Over the last decade, there has been rapid development in the controlled synthesis and surface modification of CaCO3, the stabilization of amorphous CaCO3 (ACC), and CaCO3-based nanostructured materials. In this review, the controlled synthesis of CaCO3 is first examined, including Ca2+-CO32- systems, solid-liquid-gas carbonation, water-in-oil reverse emulsions, and biomineralization. Advancing insights into the nucleation and crystallization of CaCO3 have led to the development of efficient routes towards the controlled synthesis of CaCO3 with specific sizes, morphologies, and polymorphs. Recently-developed surface modification methods of CaCO3 include organic and inorganic modifications, as well as intensified surface reactions. The resultant CaCO3 can then be further engineered via template-induced biomineralization and layer-by-layer assembly into porous, hollow, or core-shell organic-inorganic nanocomposites. The introduction of CaCO3 into nanostructured materials has led to a significant improvement in the mechanical, optical, magnetic, and catalytic properties of such materials, with the resultant CaCO3-based nanostructured materials showing great potential for use in biomaterials and biomedicine, environmental remediation, and energy production and storage. The influences that the preparation conditions and additives have on ACC preparation and stabilization are also discussed. Studies indicate that ACC can be used to construct environmentally-friendly hybrid films, supramolecular hydrogels, and drug vehicles. Finally, the existing challenges and future directions of the controlled synthesis and functionalization of CaCO3 and its expanding applications are highlighted.

Abstract
The recent successful application of lipid-based nanoparticles as delivery vehicles in COVID-19 vaccines demonstrated the superior potential of nanoparticle-based technology for targeted drug delivery in biomedicine. Among novel, rapidly advancing delivery platforms, the inorganic nano/microparticles gradually reach new heights and attract well-deserved attention among scientists and clinicians. Calcium carbonate in its vaterite form is used as a biocompatible carrier for a progressively increasing number of biomedical applications. Its growing popularity is conferred by beneficial porosity of particles, high mechanical stability, biodegradability under certain physiological conditions, ability to provide a continuous steady release of bioactives, preferential safety profile, and low cost, which make calcium carbonate a suitable entity of highly efficacious formulations for controlled drug delivery and release. The focal point of the current review is the success of the recent vaterite applications in the delivery of various diagnostics and therapeutic drugs. The manuscript highlights the nuances of drug loading in vaterite particles, connecting it with particle morphology, size, and charge of the loaded molecules, payload concentration, mono- or multiple drug loading. The manuscript also depicts recent successful methods of increasing the loading capacity developed for vaterite carriers. In addition, the review describes the various administration routes for vaterite particles with bioactive payloads, which were reported in recent years. Special attention is given to the multi-drug-loaded vaterite particles ("molecular cocktails") and reports on their successful delivery in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Microcapsules are one of the most promising microscale drug carriers due to their facile fabrication, excellent deformability, and high efficacy in drug storage and delivery. Understanding the effects of their physicochemical properties (size, shape, rigidity, charge, surface chemistry, etc.) on both in vitro and in vivo performance is not only highly significant and interesting but also very challenging. Stiffness, an important design parameter, has been extensively explored in recent years, but how the rigidity of particles influences cellular internalization and uptake mechanisms remains controversial. Here, one-layered lysozyme-based microcapsules with well-controlled stiffness (modulus ranging from 3.49 ± 0.18 MPa to 26.14 ± 1.09 MPa) were prepared and used to investigate the effect of stiffness on the uptake process in dendritic cells and the underlying mechanism. The cellular uptake process and endocytic mechanism were investigated with laser scanning confocal microscopy, mechanism inhibitors, and pathway-specific antibody staining. Our data demonstrated that the stiffness of protein-based microcapsules could be a strong regulator of intracellular uptake and endocytic kinetics but had no obvious effect on the endocytic mechanism. We believe our results will provide a basic understanding of the intracellular uptake process of microcapsules and the endocytic mechanism and inspire strategies for the further design of potential drug delivery microcarriers.

Abstract
Lysozyme is a ~14 kDa protein present in many mucosal secretions (tears, saliva, and mucus) and tissues of animals and plants, and plays an important role in the innate immunity, providing protection against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Three main different types of lysozymes are known: the c-type (chicken or conventional type), the g-type (goose type), and the i-type (invertebrate type). It has long been the subject of several applications due to its antimicrobial properties. The problem of antibiotic resistance has stimulated the search for new molecules or new applications of known compounds. The use of lysozyme as an alternative antibiotic is the subject of this review, which covers the results published over the past two decades. This review is focused on the applications of lysozyme in medicine, (the treatment of infectious diseases, wound healing, and anti-biofilm), veterinary, feed, food preservation, and crop protection. It is available from a wide range of sources, in addition to the well-known chicken egg white, and its synergism with other compounds, endowed with antimicrobial activity, are also summarized. An overview of the modified lysozyme applications is provided in the form of tables.

Abstract
Capsules have hollow cores and closed wall structures, and they have attracted considerable interest due to their wide applications and significance in life science. The engineering process of bioinspired capsules and related applications have earned heavy concerns. However, the mechanism of capsule formation is often ignored. Herein, based on polyornithine (POR) and tannic acid (TA), two facile strategies to engineer bioinspired capsules were proposed, and the formation mechanisms were deeply explored. We found that the oxidized state of TA had a profound influence not on the thickness or permeability of the formed capsule but on the mechanism and generation process. Compared to TA/POR capsules produced from TA without oxidization (TA/POR), capsules produced from TA with preoxidization (oTA/POR) had thicker shells with higher impermeability. The dominant construction mode in the shells of TA/POR capsules was electrostatic interactions but became Schiff base bonds in oTA/POR capsules. The permeability of oTA/POR displayed pH reversibility and strong pH dependence, with 100% permeability at lower pH and 100% impermeability at pH 7, completing loading/releasing kinetics in minutes at pH 4. We believe these findings contribute to knowledge of bioinspired capsules from engineering processes and formation mechanisms, extending their applications in various fields, such as in drug delivery, artificial cells, and sensors.

Abstract
The present study focuses on the immobilization of the bacterial ribonuclease barnase (Bn) into submicron porous calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles. For encapsulation, we apply adsorption, freezing-induced loading and co-precipitation methods and study the effects of adsorption time, enzyme concentration and anionic polyelectrolytes on the encapsulation efficiency of Bn. We show that the use of negatively charged dextran sulfate (DS) and ribonucleic acid from yeast (RNA) increases the loading capacity (LC) of the enzyme on CaCO3 particles by about 3-fold as compared to the particles with Bn itself. The ribonuclease (RNase) activity of encapsulated enzyme depends on the LC of the particles and transformation of metastable vaterite to stable calcite, as studied by the assessment of enzyme activities in particles.

Abstract
One of the undeniable trends in modern bioengineering and nanotechnology is the use of various biomolecules, primarily of a polymeric nature, for the design and formulation of novel functional materials for controlled and targeted drug delivery, bioimaging and theranostics, tissue engineering, and other bioapplications. Biocompatibility, biodegradability, the possibility of replicating natural cellular microenvironments, and the minimal toxicity typical of biogenic polymers are features that have secured a growing interest in them as the building blocks for biomaterials of the fourth generation. Many recent studies showed the promise of the hard-templating approach for the fabrication of nano- and microparticles utilizing biopolymers. This review covers these studies, bringing together up-to-date knowledge on biopolymer-based multilayer capsules and beads, critically assessing the progress made in this field of research, and outlining the current challenges and perspectives of these architectures. According to the classification of the templates, the review sequentially considers biopolymer structures templated on non-porous particles, porous particles, and crystal drugs. Opportunities for the functionalization of biopolymer-based capsules to tailor them toward specific bioapplications is highlighted in a separate section.

Abstract
Proteins play key roles in most biological processes, and protein dysfunction can cause various diseases. Over the past few decades, tremendous development has occurred in the protein therapeutic market due to the high specificity, low side effects, and low risk of proteins. Currently, all protein drugs on the market are based on extracellular targeting; more than 70% of intracellular targets remain un-druggable. Efficient delivery of cytosolic proteins is of significance for protein drugs, advanced biotechnology and molecular cell biology. Herein, we developed a co-assembly strategy for protein-hexahistidine-metal for intracellular protein delivery. Based on the coordinative interaction between His6 and metal ions, various proteins were encapsulated in situ into nanosized and positively charged protein encapsulation particles(Protein@HmA) through a co-assembly process with a high loading capacity and loading efficiency. Protein@HmA was able to deliver proteins with diverse physicochemical properties through multiple endocytosis pathways, and the protein could quickly escape from endosomes. In addition, the bioactivity of the loaded protein during co-assembly and the intracellular delivery processes were well preserved and could be properly exerted inside cells. Our results demonstrate that this strategy should be a valuable platform for protein delivery and has huge potential in protein-based theranostics. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Intracellular targets with protein drugs may provide a new way for the treatment of many refractory disease. Herein, we developed a co-assembly strategy for protein-hexahistidine-metal for efficient intracellular protein delivery. Based on the coordinative interaction between His6 and metal ions, various proteins were encapsulated in situ into nanosized and positively charged particles (Protein@HmA) with a high loading efficiency. Protein@HmA was able to deliver different proteins through multiple endocytosis pathways, and the protein could quickly escape from endosomes. In addition, the bioactivity of the loaded protein during co-assembly and the intracellular delivery processes were well preserved and could be properly exerted inside cells. This strategy should be a valuable platform for protein delivery and has huge potential in protein-based theranostics.

MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 120:111795. [PMID: 33545918 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.111795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2020] [Revised: 11/11/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Electrospun nanofibrous scaffold is a promising implant for peripheral nerve regeneration. Herein, to investigate the effect of surface morphological features and electrical properties of scaffolds on nerve cell behavior, we modified electrospun cellulose (EC) fibrous mats with four kind of soluble conductive polymers derivates (poly (N-(methacryl ethyl) pyrrole) (PMAEPy), poly (N-(2-hydroxyethyl) pyrrole) (PHEPy), poly (3-(Ethoxycarbonyl) thiophene) (P3ECT) and poly (3-thiophenethanol) (P3TE)) by an in-situ polymerization method. The morphological characterization showed that conductive polymers formed aggregated nanoparticles and coatings on the EC nanofibers with the increased fiber diameter further affected the surface properties. Compared with pure EC scaffold, more PC12 cells were adhered and grown on modified mats, with more integral and clearer cell morphology. The results of protein adsorption study indicated that modified EC mats could provide more protein adsorption site due to their characteristic surface morphology, which is beneficial to cell adhesion and growth. The results in this study suggested that these conductive polymers modified scaffolds with special surface morphology have potential applications in neural tissue engineering.

Abstract
Here, the macroporous poly(hydroxylmethyl methacrylate/glycidyl methacrylate [p(HEMA-GMA)] cryogels with large porous surface were prepared, and then the epoxy groups of the p(HEMA-GMA) cryogels were systematically modified into strong and weak cationic groups. The effects of initial protein concentrations, adsorption time, pH, salt concentrations and temperatures on adsorption efficiency of cation exchange cryogels for lysozyme were determined. The maximum lysozyme adsorption capacities of strong and weak cation exchange cryogels were found to be 188.3 and 79.7 mg/g cryogel at 25 °C, respectively. The performance of the strong cationic cryogel was evaluated by purification of lysozyme from egg white. The activity of the isolated lysozyme was found to be 21,347 U/mg. The cationic cryogel maintained its expected high adsorption capacity and efficiency of the purification levels during repeated adsorption desorption processes. Finally, the purpose of this work is the design a cation exchange system for purification of lysozyme from egg-white.

Encapsulation of Low-Molecular-Weight Drugs into Polymer Multilayer Capsules Templated on Vaterite CaCO 3 Crystals. MICROMACHINES 2020; 11:mi11080717.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules (PEMCs) templated onto biocompatible and easily degradable vaterite CaCO3 crystals via the layer-by-layer (LbL) polymer deposition process have served as multifunctional and tailor-made vehicles for advanced drug delivery. Since the last two decades, the PEMCs were utilized for effective encapsulation and controlled release of bioactive macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, etc.). However, their capacity to host low-molecular-weight (LMW) drugs (<1–2 kDa) has been demonstrated rather recently due to a limited retention ability of multilayers to small molecules. The safe and controlled delivery of LMW drugs plays a vital role for the treatment of cancers and other diseases, and, due to their tunable and inherent properties, PEMCs have shown to be good candidates for smart drug delivery. Herein, we summarize recent progress on the encapsulation of LMW drugs into PEMCs templated onto vaterite CaCO3 crystals. The drug loading and release mechanisms, advantages and limitations of the PEMCs as LMW drug carriers, as well as bio-applications of drug-laden capsules are discussed based upon the recent literature findings.

Abstract
The nano-oxide materials with special structures prepared by template methods have a good dispersion, regular structures and high specific surface areas. Therefore, in some areas, improved properties are observed than conventional bulk oxide materials. For example, in the treatment of dye wastewater, the treatment efficiency of adsorbents and catalytic materials prepared by template method was about 30 % or even higher than that of conventional samples. This review mainly focuses on the progress of inorganic, organic and biological templates in the preparation of micro- and nano- oxide materials with special morphologies, and the roles of the prepared materials as adsorbents and photocatalysts in dye wastewater treatment. The characteristics and advantages of inorganic, organic and biological template are also summarized. In addition, the applications of template method prepared oxides in the field of sensors, drug carrier, energy materials and other fields are briefly discussed with detailed examples.

Abstract
Proteins are considered to be one of the most important highly reproducible and monodisperse building blocks with specific functions in life sciences and material science. Protein capsules and their hybrids composed of protein-polymer conjugates have been intensively explored in drug delivery, catalysis, and cell-mimicking functions. Herein, we present a facile, universal, and efficient method to fabricate the diverse protein capsules, independent of the molecular weight (Mw), isoelectric points (IEP), wettability, amino acid sequence, and functional domains of enumerated proteins. The protein capsules were well characterized by various techniques. Furthermore, their ability to store the original protein functionality was demonstrated, which was mainly embodied in their enzyme responsiveness and good biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. We believe that these protein capsules have multiple potential applications such as in drug delivery, tissue engineering, catalysis, and other application fields.

Abstract
A multifunctional (TA/Lys)n film, featuring good antioxidant property, fast cell attachment at the initial stage, enhanced osteogenesis, and broad-spectrum antibacterial property, was constructed by the layer-by-layer (LBL) method. The building process was monitored by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D); the physical properties, such as topography, stiffness in dry and liquid state, and conformation of Lys in the film, were thoroughly characterized. These physical properties were modulated by varying the salt concentration at which the film was constructed. The film not only allows for favorable cell attachment and proliferation of preosteoblasts Mc3t3-E1 but also provides antibacterial property against Gram-positive bacteria, S. aureus and M. lysodeikticus, and Gram-negative bacteria, E. coli. It also displays good antioxidant property, which plays a critical role on fast cell attachment at the initial stage.

Abstract
It is of considerable interest to construct an ideal drug delivery system (i.e., high drug payload, minimal cytotoxicity, rapid endocytosis, and lysosomal escape) under mild conditions for disease treatment, tissue engineering, bioimaging, etc. Inspired by the coordinative interactions between histidine and metal ions, we present the facile synthesis of hexahistidine (His6)-metal assembly (HmA) particles under mild conditions for the first time. The HmA particles presented a high loading capacity, a wide variety of loadable drugs, minimal cytotoxicity, quick internalization, the ability to bypass the lysosomes, and rapid intracellular drug release. In addition, HmA encapsulation largely improved the antitumor ability of camptothecin (CPT) relative to free CPT. By capitalizing on these promising features in drug delivery, HmA will have great potential in various biomedical fields.

By capitalizing on these promising features in drug delivery, HmA will have great potential in various biomedical fields.

Abstract
The number of biologic drugs has increased in the pharmaceutical industry due to their high therapeutic efficacy and selectivity. As such, safe and biocompatible delivery systems to improve their stability and efficacy are needed. Here, we developed novel cationic polymethacrylate-alginate (EE-alginate) pNPs for the biologic drug model lysozyme (Lys). The impact of variables such as total charge and charge ratios over nanoparticle physicochemical properties as well as their influence over in vitro safety (viability/proliferation and cell morphology) on HeLa cells was investigated. Our results showed that electrostatic interactions between the EE-alginate and lysozyme led to the formation of EE/alginate Lys pNPs with reproducible size, high stability due to their controllable zeta potential, a high association efficiency, and an in vitro sustained Lys release. Selected formulations remained stable for up to one month and Fourier transform-Infrared (FT-IR) showed that the functional groups of different polymers remain identifiable in combined systems, suggesting that Lys secondary structure is retained after pNP synthesis. EE-alginate Lys pNPs at low concentrations are biocompatible, while at high concentrations, they show cytotoxic for HeLa cells, and this effect was found to be dose-dependent. This study highlights the potential of the EE-alginate, a novel polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticle, as an effective and viable nanocarrier for future drug delivery applications.
