Huang LG, Yu CC, Lin MC, Wang YH, Chang YC. Association between Periodontitis and Hematologic Cancer: An NHIRD Cohort Study in Taiwan. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1671. [PMID: 38730623 PMCID: PMC11083422 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16091671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic periodontitis, an inflammation-related disorder affecting global populations, has been revealed to be linked to diverse cancers. Numerous epidemiological studies have not shown a link between chronic periodontitis and blood cancers in Taiwan. METHODS This study included 601,628 patients, diagnosed with newly chronic periodontitis by the ICD-9-CM classification, who were enrolled from 2001 to 2021 in the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan. In this study, we employed comprehensive statistical analyses to investigate the association between chronic periodontitis and hematologic cancers. Initially, we calculated incidence density and used a Poisson regression to analyze relative risk. Subsequently, we compared the cumulative incidence of hematological cancer in both chronic and non-chronic periodontitis groups using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS The results revealed a significantly lower cumulative incidence of hematologic cancer in individuals with non-chronic periodontitis over a 12-year follow-up period. To further explore the risk factors, a Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was conducted. Being male (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.04 to 1.42; p = 0.014) and having hypertension (aHR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.06 to 1.69; p = 0.015) were demonstrated to be associated with an increased risk of hematologic cancers, respectively. In addition, in a subtype multivariate analysis for categorizing hematologic cancers into lymphoma and leukemia, the aHR for leukemia was 1.48 (95% CI: 1.13 to 1.93; p = 0.004) and aHR for lymphoma was 1.15 (95% CI: 0.96 to 1.37; p = 0.140). CONCLUSIONS This study found that being male and having hypertension were the significant risk factors for hematological malignancies. Moreover, the association between chronic periodontitis and specific subtypes of hematologic cancers was confirmed.

Abstract
Hematologic malignancies (HMs), also referred to as hematological or blood cancers, pose significant threats to patients as they impact the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system. Despite significant clinical strategies using chemotherapy, radiotherapy, stem cell transplantation, targeted molecular therapy, or immunotherapy, the five-year overall survival of patients with HMs is still low. Fortunately, recent studies demonstrate that the nanodrug delivery system holds the potential to address these challenges and foster effective anti-HMs with precise treatment. In particular, cell membrane camouflaged nanodrug offers enhanced drug targeting, reduced toxicity and side effects, and/or improved immune response to HMs. This review firstly introduces the merits and demerits of clinical strategies in HMs treatment, and then summarizes the types, advantages, and disadvantages of current nanocarriers helping drug delivery in HMs treatment. Furthermore, the types, functions, and mechanisms of cell membrane fragments that help nanodrugs specifically targeted to and accumulate in HM lesions are introduced in detail. Finally, suggestions are given about their clinical translation and future designs on the surface of nanodrugs with multiple functions to improve therapeutic efficiency for cancers.

Abstract
The latest findings in iron metabolism and the newly uncovered process of ferroptosis have paved the way for new potential strategies in anti-leukemia treatments. In the current project, we reviewed and summarized the current role of nanomedicine in the treatment and diagnosis of leukemia through a comparison made between traditional approaches applied in the treatment and diagnosis of leukemia via the existing investigations about the ferroptosis molecular mechanisms involved in various anti-tumor treatments. The application of nanotechnology and other novel technologies may provide a new direction in ferroptosis-driven leukemia therapies. The article explores the potential of targeting ferroptosis, a new form of regulated cell death, as a new therapeutic strategy for leukemia. It discusses the mechanisms of ferroptosis and its role in leukemia and how nanotechnology can enhance the delivery and efficacy of ferroptosis-inducing agents. The article not only highlights the promise of ferroptosis-targeted therapies and nanotechnology in revolutionizing leukemia treatment, but also calls for further research to overcome challenges and fully realize the clinical potential of this innovative approach. Finally, it discusses the challenges and opportunities in clinical applications of ferroptosis.

Abstract
Single-stranded messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) plays a pivotal role in transferring genetic information, and tremendous effort has been devoted over the years to utilize its transcription efficacy in therapeutic interventions for a variety of diseases with high morbidity and mortality. Lipid nanocarriers have been extensively investigated for mRNA delivery and enabled the rapid and successful development of mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. Some constraints of lipid nanocarriers have encouraged the development of alternative delivery systems, such as polymer-based soft nanoparticles, which offer a modular gene delivery platform. Such macromolecule-based nanocarriers can be synthetically articulated for tailored parameters including mRNA protection, loading efficacy, and targeted release. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the development of polymeric architectures for mRNA delivery, their limitations, and the challenges that still exist, with the aim of expediting further research and the clinical translation of such formulations.

Abstract
Leukemia is a cancer of blood cells that mainly affects the white blood cells. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) sudden growth of cancerous cells occurs in blood and bone marrow, and it disrupts normal blood cell production. Most patients are asymptomatic, but it spreads rapidly and can become fatal if left untreated. AML is the prevalent form of leukemia in children. Risk factors of AML include chemical exposure, radiation, genetics, etc. Conventional diagnostic methods of AML are complete blood count tests and bone marrow aspiration, while conventional treatment methods involve chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and bone marrow transplant. There is a risk of cancer cells spreading progressively to the other organs if left untreated, and hence, early diagnosis is required. The conventional diagnostic methods are time- consuming and have drawbacks like harmful side effects and recurrence of the disease. To overcome these difficulties, nanoparticles are employed in treating and diagnosing AML. These nanoparticles can be surface- modified and can be used against cancer cells. Due to their enhanced permeability effect and high surface-to-volume ratio they will be able to reach the tumour site which cannot be reached by traditional drugs. This review article talks about how nanotechnology is more advantageous over the traditional methods in the treatment and diagnosis of AML.

Abstract
Drug-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) can efficiently inhibit tumor growth and recurrence through the release of tumor-associated antigens which activate both local and systemic immune responses. Pyroptosis has emerged as an effective means for inducing ICD; however, the development of novel pyroptosis inducers to specifically target tumor cells remains a pressing requirement. Herein, we report that Cinobufagin (CS-1), a main ingredient of Chansu, can effectively induce pyroptosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, making it a potential therapeutic agent for this kind of tumor. However, the application of CS-1 in vivo is extremely limited by the high dosage/long-term usage and non-selectivity caused by systemic toxicity. To address these drawbacks, we developed a new nanomedicine by loading CS-1 into Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs). The nanomedicine can release CS-1 in a photothermal-controlled manner inherited in PB NPs. Furthermore, hybrid membrane (HM) camouflage was adopted to improve the immune escape and tumor-targeting ability of this nanomedicine, as well. In vitro assays demonstrated that the chemo-photothermal combination treatment produced high-level ICD, ultimately fostering the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs). In vivo anti-tumor assessments further indicated that this strategy not only efficiently inhibited primary growth of MDA-MB-231 cells and 4T1 cells-bearing models but also efficiently attenuated distant tumor growth in 4T1 xenograft model. This was mechanistically achieved throuh the promotion of DCs maturation, infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocyte into the tumor, and the inhibition of Treg cells. In summary, this work provides a novel strategy for efficient TNBC therapy by using nanomaterials-based multimodal nanomedicine through rational design.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) aberrantly deacetylates histone and non-histone proteins. These include structural maintenance of chromosome 3 (SMC3) cohesin protein, retinoic acid induced 1 (RAI1), p53, etc and thus, regulating diverse processes such as leukemic stem cell (LSC) transformation and maintenance. HDAC8, one of the crucial HDACs, affects the gene silencing process in solid and hematological cancer progressions especially on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). A specific HDAC8 inhibitor PCI-34051 showed promising results against both T-cell lymphoma and AML. Here, we summarize the role of HDAC8 in hematological malignancies, especially in AML and ALL. This article also introduces the structure/function of HDAC8 and a special attention has been paid to address the HDAC8 enzyme selectivity issue in hematological cancer especially against AML and ALL.

Abstract
Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotic used exclusively in veterinary medicine in order to treat the pathology of farm and aquatic animals. It is a synthetic fluorinated analog of thiamphenicol and chloramphenicol that functions by inhibiting ribosomal activity, which disrupts bacterial protein synthesis and has shown over time a strong activity against Gram-positive and negative bacterial groups. Florfenicol was also reported to have anti-inflammatory activity through a marked reduction in immune cell proliferation and cytokine production. The need for improvement came from (1) the inappropriate use (to an important extent) of this antimicrobial, which led to serious concerns about florfenicol-related resistance genes, and (2) the fact that this antibiotic has a low water solubility making it difficult to formulate an aqueous solution in organic solvents, and applicable for different routes of administration. This review aims to synthesize the various applications of florfenicol in veterinary medicine, explore the potential use of nanotechnology to improve its effectiveness and analyze the advantages and limitations of such approaches. The review is based on data from scientific articles and systematic reviews identified in several databases.

Abstract
Hematologic malignancies are a diverse collection of cancers that affect the blood, bone marrow, and organs. They have a very unpredictable prognosis and recur after treatment. Leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma are the most prevalent symptoms. Despite advancements in chemotherapy and supportive care, the incidence rate and mortality of patients with hematological malignancies remain high. Additionally, there are issues with the clinical diagnosis because several hematological malignancies lack defined, systematic diagnostic criteria. This work provided an overview of the fundamentals, benefits, and limitations of Raman spectroscopy and its use in hematological cancers. The alterations of trace substances can be recognized using Raman spectroscopy. High sensitivity, non-destructive, quick, real-time, and other attributes define it. Clinicians must promptly identify disorders and keep track of analytes in biological fluids. For instance, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is employed in diagnosing gene mutations in myelodysplastic syndromes due to its high sensitivity and multiple detection benefits. Serum indicators for multiple myeloma have been routinely used for detection. The simultaneous observation of DNA strand modifications and the production of new molecular bonds by tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is of tremendous significance for diagnosing lymphoma and multiple myeloma with unidentified diagnostic criteria.

Abstract
AbstractRecent technological advances in nanoscience and material designing have led to the development of point-of-care devices for biomolecule sensing and cancer diagnosis. In situ and portable sensing devices for bedside, diagnosis can effectively improve the patient’s clinical outcomes and reduce the mortality rate. Detection of exosomal RNAs by immuno-biochip with increased sensitivity and specificity to diagnose cancer has raised the understanding of the tumor microenvironment and many other technology-based biosensing devices hold great promise for clinical innovations to conquer the unbeatable fort of cancer metastasis. Electrochemical biosensors are the most sensitive category of biomolecule detection sensors with significantly low concentrations down to the atomic level. In this sense, this review addresses the recent advances in cancer detection and diagnosis by developing significant biological sensing devices that are believed to have better sensing potential than existing facilities.

Int J Nanomedicine 2022; 17:1613-1632.

Abstract
Background The main challenge of polymeric micelles as drug delivery systems is that the actual delivery efficiency is not as high as expected, which is closely related with the interactions with the complex biological environments such as blood components, phagocytosis, and biodistribution. Herein, we expect to understand these concerns for the clinically relevant micelles that composed of methoxypolyethylene glycol (MPEG) with identical chain length And poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with tunable chain length (PCLn-MPEG) (n=20, 30, and 40) wherein doxorubicin was encapsulated as a model drug. Methods The doxorubicin-loaded PCLn-MPEG micelles were prepared by a dialysis method and characterized by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The surface PEG density and chain conformation were investigated by dissipative particle dynamics simulation. The stability of the micelles was detected by nanoparticle tracking analysis. The effects of PCL chain length on the blood components, phagocytosis, and biodistribution were assayed in vitro and in vivo. Results The micelles exhibited spherical morphology with a diameter about 30nm. The PEG chain conformation from “mushroom-like” to “brush-like” was evident. The micelles have no remarkable effect on the red blood cells, blood coagulation, and platelet activation. Interestingly, the protein adsorption was affected and dependent on the chain conformation, with lowest adsorption for PCL30-MPEG, which also has the loWest phagocytosis. The stability of the micelles was in the order of PCL40-MPEG>PCL30-MPEG>PCL20-MPEG which was dependent on the PCL chain length. The micelles mainly accumulated in liver, with the order consistent with their stability, indicating that, besides the phagocytosis, the stability of the micelle plays an important role in biodistribution as well. The related mechanisms were proposed and discussed. Conclusion Manipulating the PEG/PCL ratio of the micelle is an effective approach to modulate the protein adsorption, phagocytosis, and biodistribution, which may be a prerequisite for clinical applications.

Abstract
Simple Summary Hematological malignancies are diseases involving the abnormal production of blood cells. The aim of the study is to collect comprehensive information on new drugs used in the treatment of blood cancers which have introduced into therapy in the last decade. The approved drugs were analyzed for their structures and their biological activity mechanisms. Abstract Hematological malignancies, also referred to as blood cancers, are a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth and persisting in the blood, lymph nodes, or bone marrow. The development of new targeted therapies including small molecule inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, bispecific T cell engagers, antibody-drug conjugates, recombinant immunotoxins, and, finally, Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) cells has improved the clinical outcomes for blood cancers. In this review, we summarized 52 drugs that were divided into small molecule and macromolecule agents, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the period between 2011 and 2021 for the treatment of hematological malignancies. Forty of them have also been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). We analyzed the FDA-approved drugs by investigating both their structures and mechanisms of action. It should be emphasized that the number of targeted drugs was significantly higher (46 drugs) than chemotherapy agents (6 drugs). We highlight recent advances in the design of drugs that are used to treat hematological malignancies, which make them more effective and less toxic.

Nanomedicine for Immunotherapy Targeting Hematological Malignancies: Current Approaches and Perspective. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11112792.

Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy has partial therapeutic effects against hematological malignancies and is correlated with serious side effects and great risk of relapse. Recently, immunotherapeutic drugs have provided encouraging results in the treatment of hematological malignancies. Several immunotherapeutic antibodies and cell therapeutics are in dynamic development such as immune checkpoint blockades and CAR-T treatment. However, numerous problems restrain the therapeutic effectiveness of tumor immunotherapy as an insufficient anti-tumor immune response, the interference of an immune-suppressive bone marrow, or tumoral milieu with the discharge of immunosuppressive components, access of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, monocyte intrusion, macrophage modifications, all factors facilitating the tumor to escape the anti-cancer immune response, finally reducing the efficiency of the immunotherapy. Nanotechnology can be employed to overcome each of these aspects, therefore having the possibility to successfully produce anti-cancer immune responses. Here, we review recent findings on the use of biomaterial-based nanoparticles in hematological malignancies immunotherapy. In the future, a deeper understanding of tumor immunology and of the implications of nanomedicine will allow nanoparticles to revolutionize tumor immunotherapy, and nanomedicine approaches will reveal their great potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
In this study, an efficient composite hemostatic material (DA-diatom-T) was prepared, using a polydopamine layer as a linker to immobilize thrombin on the surface of diatom biosilica. DA-diatom-T retained the porous structure of the diatom with high water absorption capacity, which can absorb 31 times its own weight of water. The thrombin activity of DA-diatom-T was as high as 5.81 U mg-1 that could be maintained at 67% after 30 days at room temperature. DA-diatom-T exhibited non-toxicity to mouse fibroblast cell lines, favorable hemocompatibility and fast procoagulant ability. DA-diatom-T could promote the initiation of the coagulation process and increase platelet activity and blood clot strength to form a physical barrier at the wound. In an in vivo study, DA-diatom-T could significantly reduce the clotting time and reduce the bleeding volume. The above results showed that DA-diatom-T had potential as a new hemostatic material.

Abstract
Nowadays, there has been an increase in the number of people with chronic wounds, which has resulted in serious health problems worldwide. The rate-limiting stage of chronic wound healing has been found to be the inflammation stage, and strategies for shortening the prolonged inflammatory response have proven to be effective for increasing the healing rate. Recently, various anti-inflammatory strategies (such as anti-inflammatory drugs, antioxidant, NO regulation, antibacterial, immune regulation and angiogenesis) have attracted attention as potential therapeutic pathways. Moreover, various biomaterial platforms based on anti-inflammation therapy strategies have also emerged in the spotlight as potential therapies to accelerate the repair of chronic wounds. In this review, we systematically investigated the advances of various biomaterial platforms based on anti-inflammation strategies for chronic wound healing, to provide valuable guidance for future breakthroughs in chronic wound treatment.

Abstract
Delayed neutrophil apoptosis has been proved to be closely associated with acute lung injury. A Bcl-2 inhibitor, venetoclax, can improve the clinical outcome of acute lung injury based on its pro-apoptotic effect. However, pulmonary delivery of free venetoclax is hindered by its water insolubility, which results in limited bioavailability and pharmacological effects. An amphipathic polymer-based nanodelivery system has been extensively used to improve the delivery of this insoluble drug and enhance its bioavailability. In this study, an amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol) modified poly(α-lipoic acid) nanoparticle with an extended lung tissue-resident time was utilized to deliver venetoclax. Compared to free venetoclax, the nanoformulated venetoclax (Nf-venetoclax) presented better efficacy for acute lung injury through increasing neutrophil apoptosis in vivo. In addition, a stronger pro-apoptotic effect of Nf-venetoclax was also demonstrated in vitro. Our study provides encouraging evidence that Nf-venetoclax exhibits effective therapy for acute lung injury.

Abstract
Breast cancer remains one of the world's most dangerous diseases because of the difficulty of finding cost-effective and specific targets for effective and efficient treatment methods. The biodegradability and biocompatibility properties of chitosan-based nanoparticles (ChNPs) have good prospects for targeted drug delivery systems. ChNPs can transfer various antitumor drugs to targeted sites via passive and active targeting pathways. The modification of ChNPs has attracted the researcher to the loading of drugs to targeted cancer cells. The objective of our review was to summarize and discuss the modification in ChNPs in delivering anticancer drugs against breast cancer cells from published papers recorded in Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. In order to improve cellular uptake, drug accumulation, cytotoxicity, and selectivity, we examined different kinds of modification of ChNPs. Notably, these forms of ChNPs use the characteristics of the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect as a proper parameter and different biological ligands, such as proteins, peptides, monoclonal antibodies, and small particles. In addition, as a targeted delivery system, ChNPs provided and significantly improved the delivery of drugs into specific breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231, 4T1 cells, SK-BR-3, MCF-7, T47D). In conclusion, a promising technique is presented for increasing the efficacy, selectivity, and effectiveness of candidate drug carriers in the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been proved to be effective in prolonging progression-free survival in advanced osteosarcoma. However, osteosarcoma stem-like cells persist for a long time and ultimately cause disease recurrence and therapy resistance. Here, we reveal that inefficient accumulation of Apatinib, an anti-angiogenic TKI, induces the expression of ribosome-associated genes in osteosarcoma, and confers apoptosis resistance. An engineered nanoscale delivery system based on hydrophobic poly(ester amide) has been established to effectively deliver Apatinib to improve the treatment. Notably, the considerable uptake by osteosarcoma cells enables this nanodrug to distribute increasingly inside the tumor. Furthermore, the delivered nano-Apatinib can suppress osteosarcoma stemness and enhance osteosarcoma stem-like cell apoptosis, and overcomes the crucial bottleneck of the unfavorable stem-like cell residue for TKI therapy. Importantly, nano-Apatinib significantly inhibits the osteosarcoma stem-like cell-derived tumor growth in contrast with free Apatinib, with minimal side effects. These results suggest that this Apatinib-loaded nano delivery system may serve as a promising strategy to solve the issue of TKI therapeutic resistance existing in advanced osteosarcoma.

Abstract
We previously showed that Livin, an inhibitor of apoptosis protein, is specifically cleaved to produce a truncated protein, tLivin, and demonstrated its paradoxical proapoptotic activity. We further demonstrated that mini-tLivin (MTV), a 70 amino acids derivative of tLivin, is a proapoptotic protein as potent as tLivin. Based on these findings, in this study we aimed to develop a venue to target MTV for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). MTV was conjugated to poly (lactide-co-glycolic acid) surface-activated nanoparticles (NPs). In order to target MTV-NPs we also conjugated CD40 ligand (CD40L) to the surface of the NPs and evaluated the efficacy of the bifunctional CD40L-MTV-NPs. In vitro, CD40L-MTV-NPs elicited significant apoptosis of DLBCL cells. In a disseminated mouse model of DLBCL, 37.5% of MTV-NPs treated mice survived at the end of the experiment. Targeting MTV-NPs using CD40L greatly improved survival and 71.4% of these mice survived. CD40L-MTV-NPs also greatly reduced CNS involvement of DLBCL. Only 20% of these mice presented infiltration of lymphoma to the brain in comparison to 77% of the MTV-NPs treated mice. In a subcutaneous mouse model, CD40L-MTV-NPs significantly reduced tumor volume in correlation with significant increased caspase-3 activity. Thus, targeted MTV-NPs suggest a novel approach to overcome apoptosis resistance in cancer.

Abstract
In recent years, peptide/protein drugs have attracted considerable attention owing to their superior targeting and therapeutic effect and fewer side effects compared with chemical drugs. Oral administration modality with enhanced patient compliance is increasingly being recognized as an ideal route for peptide/protein delivery. However, the limited permeation efficiency and low oral bioavailability of peptide/protein drugs significantly hinder therapeutic advances. To address these problems, various nano and microscale delivery platforms have been developed, which offer significant advantages in oral peptide/protein delivery. In this review, we briefly introduce the transport mechanisms of oral peptide/protein delivery and the primary barriers to this delivery process. We also highlight the recent advances in various nano and microscale delivery platforms designed for oral peptide/protein delivery. We then summarize the existing strategies used in these delivery platforms to improve the oral bioavailability and permeation efficiency of peptide/protein therapeutics. Finally, we discuss the major challenges faced when nano and microscale systems are used for oral peptide/protein delivery. This review is expected to provide critical insight into the design and development of oral peptide/protein delivery systems with significant therapeutic advances.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM), known as a tumor of plasma cells, is not only refractory but also has a high relapse rate, and is the second-most common hematologic tumor after lymphoma. It is often accompanied by multiple osteolytic damage, hypercalcemia, anemia, and renal insufficiency. In terms of diagnosis, conventional detection methods have many limitations, such as it is invasive and time-consuming and has low accuracy. Measures to change these limitations are urgently needed. At the therapeutic level, although the survival of MM continues to prolong with the advent of new drugs, MM remains incurable and has a high recurrence rate. With the development of nanotechnology, nanomedicine has become a powerful way to improve the current diagnosis and treatment of MM. In this review, the research progress and breakthroughs of nanomedicine in MM will be presented. Meanwhile, both superiorities and challenges of nanomedicine were discussed. As a new idea for the diagnosis and treatments of MM, nanomedicine will play a very important role in the research field of MM.

[PMID: 35517920 PMCID: PMC9057024 DOI: 10.1039/d0ra06106a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used in drug carrier research due to their tunability. The properties of MOFs can be adjusted through incorporation of mono-substituents to obtain pharmaceutical carriers with excellent properties. In this study, different functional groups of –NH2, –CH3, –Br, –OH and –CH2

CH are connected to MOF-5 to analyse the effect of mono-substituent incorporation on drug delivery properties. The resulting MOFs have similar structures, except for Br–MOF. The pore size of this series of MOFs ranges from 1.04 nm to 1.10 nm. Using oridonin (ORI) as a model drug, introduction of the functional groups appears to have a significant effect on the drug delivery performance of the MOFs. The IRMOFs can be ranked according to drug-loading capacity: MOF-5 > HO–MOF-5 > H3C–MOF-5 = Br–MOF-5 > H2N–MOF-5 > CH2CH–MOF-5. The ORI release from ORI @IRMOFs is explored at two different pH values: 7.4 and 5.5, and the ORI@IRMOFs are ranked according to the cumulative release percentage of ORI: ORI@MOF-5 > ORI@Br–MOF-5 > ORI@H3C–MOF-5 > ORI@H2N–MOF-5 > CH2CH–MOF-5 > ORI@ HO–MOF-5. In particular, the release behaviour of ORI@MOFs is described through a new model. The different drug delivery performance of MOFs may be due to the complex interactions between MOFs and ORI. In addition, the introduction of single substituents does not change the biocompatibility of MOFs. MTT in vitro experiments prove that this series of MOFs has low cytotoxicity. This study shows that the incorporation of single substituents can effectively adjust the drug delivery behaviour of MOFs, which is conducive to realization of personalized drug delivery modes. The introduction of active groups can also facilitate post-synthesis modification to achieve coupling of targeting groups. MOFs incorporated with single substituents perform favorably in terms of use as biomedical drug delivery alternative carriers in effective drug payload and flexible drug release. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used in drug carrier research due to their tunability.![]()
