[PMID: 33533186 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.12706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2020] [Revised: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
To improve the difficulties related to malnutrition, nutritional support has become an essential part of multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment for cancer. Lipids are essential nutrient source for the human body, and nowadays in clinical practices, it has a positive interventional effect on patients suffering from cancer. However, contribution of lipids in nutritional support of cancer patients is still poorly understood. Moreover, the sensory and physicochemical properties of lipids can severely restrict their applications in lipid-rich formula foods. In this review article, for the first time, we have presented a summary of the existing studies which were related to the associations between different lipids and improved malnutrition in cancer patients and discussed possible mechanisms. Subsequently, we discussed the challenges and effective solutions during processing of lipids into formula foods. Further, by considering existing problems in current lipid nutritional support, we proposed a novel method for the treatment of malnutrition, including developing individualized lipid nutrition for different patients depending on the individual's genotype and enterotype. Nonetheless, this review study provides a new direction for future research on nutritional support and the development of lipid-rich formula foods for cancer patients, and probably will help to improve the efficacy of lipids in the treatment of cancer malnutrition.

Luminescence continuous flow system for monitoring the efficiency of hybrid liposomes separation using multiphase density gradient centrifugation. Talanta 2021; 222:121532. [PMID: 33167240 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.121532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2020] [Revised: 08/05/2020] [Accepted: 08/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
A method for monitoring the efficiency of the hybrid magnetoliposomes (h-MLs) separation using multiphase density gradient centrifugation (MDGC) coupled with a continuous flow system (CFS) is described. Several h-MLs suspensions containing hydrophobic magnetic gold nanoparticles (Fe3O4@AuNPs-C12SH) and different fluorophores encapsulated have been synthesized using the rapid solvent evaporation (RSE) method. The MDGC system was prepared using a non-linear multiphase density gradient formed with a bottom layer with 100% (v/v) sucrose solution and six layers containing a mixture of sucrose solution (with concentrations ranged between 10 and 55% v/v), and fixed concentrations of ficoll (30% v/v) and percoll (15% v/v) solutions. The density gradient profile was previously stabilized using a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 4480×g for 30 min. The synthesized h-MLs were added to the density gradient profile and separated by centrifugation at 2520×g for 20 min. The efficiency of the separation procedure was tested, aspirating the separated extract into the CFS and lysing liposomes before their translation to the detector introducing surfactant solutions. The luminescence signals provided by the release of the encapsulated fluorophores and other materials provided the distribution status of the liposomes in each density gradient stage. The monitoring of the different samples revealed four different fractions (MLs, h-Ls, h-MLs, and non-encapsulated fluorophores) for each separated h-MLs. Additional information on the h-MLs has also been acquired by confocal microscopy.

Abstract
A useful 3D printed device for the inside microfluidic integration into a conventional optical detector has been developed. The coupling system supposes the complete integration of a microfluidic device inside the sample compartment of a conventional spectrofluorimeter. For this purpose, a commercial chip-holder, including a microfluidic chip, was anchored inside the detector using a "lab-built" 3D printing alignment prototype. The variables affecting the position of the 3D printed device, such as horizontal and vertical and rotary angles, were optimized. The usefulness of the microfluidic integration system has been tested using an organized suspension of separated hybrid magnetoliposomes containing nanomaterials that were previously separated using a multiphase density gradient centrifugation (MDGC) method. The whole integration system consists of three well-established parts: the impulsion unit, the displacement unit, and the microfluidic chip. The impulsion unit is formed by two syringe pumps, which propel under microflow-rate regime the solutions through to the microfluidic system. The first fluid incorporates an immiscible solution that provides the solution which fills positive oil/water (O/W) displacement unit. In this unit, the previously organized MDGC suspension, which includes different liposome populations, was layer-by-layer displaced to a y-mixer microfluidic chip. The separation content merges with the second solution propelled by the other syringe pump. This solution incorporates a surfactant that promotes the liposome lysis. The novelty supposes the easy incorporation of a 3D printer alignment device, which facilitates the incorporation of the microfluidic channel focused into the optical pathway of the luminescence detector.

Abstract
A new zinc dithiocarbamate functionalized with palmitoyl groups is described as a useful tool for the preparation of metallosurfactants through a transmetallation reaction with the transition metals rhenium and technetium. An amphiphilic rhenium complex is synthesized by a transmetallation reaction with the zinc complex in presence of the polar phosphine sodium triphenylphosphine trisulfonate, which leads to a rhenium complex with a lipophilic dithiocarbamate and a polar phosphine ligand. The study of this rhenium complex has shown that it self-aggregates, leading to the formation of aggregates that have been analyzed by dynamic light scattering and cryotransmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). In addition, this amphiphilic rhenium complex is incorporated into soy phosphatidylcholine liposomes, whether liposomes are prepared by mixing phospholipid and the rhenium complex or by the incorporation of the rhenium complex into preformed liposomes. The one-pot reaction of the radiocompound [99mTc(H2O)3(CO)3]+ with the above-mentioned zinc dithiocarbamate, the phosphine sodium triphenylphosphine trisulfonate and the phospholipid soy phosphatidylcholine, leads to liposomes labeled with a Tc-99m homologous complex of the rhenium complex, in accordance with the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) data.

Abstract
Daily exposure of humans to nanoparticles from edible plants is inevitable, but significant advances are required to determine whether edible plant nanoparticles are beneficial to our health. Additionally, strategies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying any beneficial effects. Here, as a proof of concept, we used a mouse model to show that orally given nanoparticles isolated from ginger extracts using a sucrose gradient centrifugation procedure resulted in protecting mice against alcohol-induced liver damage. The ginger-derived nanoparticle (GDN)–mediated activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) led to the expression of a group of liver detoxifying/antioxidant genes and inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species, which partially contributes to the liver protection. Using lipid knock-out and knock-in strategies, we further identified that shogaol in the GDN plays a role in the induction of Nrf2 in a TLR4/TRIF-dependent manner. Given the critical role of Nrf2 in modulating numerous cellular processes, including hepatocyte homeostasis, drug metabolism, antioxidant defenses, and cell-cycle progression of liver, this finding not only opens up a new avenue for investigating GDN as a means to protect against the development of liver-related diseases such as alcohol-induced liver damage but sheds light on studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying interspecies communication in the liver via edible plant–derived nanoparticles.

Abstract
The use of liposomes for oral administration of drugs and for food applications is based on their ability to preserve entrapped substances and to increase their bioavailability. Bile salts are one of the agents that affect the liposome structure during intestinal digestion and the main reported studies on liposome/bile salt systems used only one bile salt. The aim of this work is to characterise the interaction of liposomes with a natural bile salt extract (BSE) at physiological pH and temperature. Three types of liposomes (fluid, gel-state and liquid-ordered bilayers) were studied. Phase diagrams were obtained and a very different behaviour was found. Fluid bilayers were completely permeable to an entrapped dye with partial or complete disruption of vesicles (final size 10 nm). Gel-state bilayers released their content but BSE led to the formation of large mixed structures (2000 nm). Liquid-ordered bilayers formed mixed vesicles (1000 nm) and, surprisingly, retained a high percentage of their aqueous content (about 50%). As a consequence, each type of liposome offers singular features to be used in oral applications due to their specific interaction with bile salts.

Abstract
Berberine hydrochloride (BH) possesses various pharmacological properties including anticancer; unfortunately, it has low oral bioavailability and potential side effects for its parenteral administration. Nanoscale delivery carriers can increase the oral bioavailability of BH. Chitosan has interesting biopharmaceutical properties such as nontoxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mucoadhesiveness, and the ability to open epithelial tight junctions. This study aims to engineer a chitosan-coated nano-liposomal carrier for the oral delivery of BH. The engineered formulation had a size in the nanoscale range. Chitosan-coated nano-liposomes displayed better stability and slower BH release in the simulated gastrointestinal (GI) environment as compared to the uncoated ones. All values of pharmacokinetic analysis for chitosan-coated nano-liposomes were higher than for uncoated ones. These findings demonstrate that chitosan-coated nano-liposomes are more efficient than uncoated ones for the oral delivery of BH. It can be concluded that the stability and delayed BH release in the simulated GI environment were improved with engineered chitosan-coated nano-liposomes. Moreover, since desirable in vitro and in vivo characteristics were achieved, they are promising release devices for the oral delivery of BH increasing the bioavailability of the drug.

Abstract
SCOPE Exosomes, small vesicles participating in intercellular communication, have been extensively studied recently; however, the role of edible plant derived exosomes in interspecies communication has not been investigated. Here, we investigate the biological effects of edible plant derived exosome-like nanoparticles (EPDENs) on mammalian cells. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, exosome-like nanoparticles from four edible plants were isolated and characterized. We show that these EPDENs contain proteins, lipids, and microRNA. EPDENs are taken up by intestinal macrophages and stem cells. The results generated from EPDEN-transfected macrophages indicate that ginger EPDENs preferentially induce the expression of the antioxidation gene, heme oxygenase-1 and the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10; whereas grapefruit, ginger, and carrot EPDENs promote activation of nuclear factor like (erythroid-derived 2). Furthermore, analysis of the intestines of canonical Wnt-reporter mice, i.e. B6.Cg-Tg(BAT-lacZ)3Picc/J mice, revealed that the numbers of β-galactosidase(+) (β-Gal) intestinal crypts are increased, suggesting that EPDEN treatment of mice leads to Wnt-mediated activation of the TCF4 transcription machinery in the crypts. CONCLUSION The data suggest a role for EPDEN-mediated interspecies communication by inducing expression of genes for anti-inflammation cytokines, antioxidation, and activation of Wnt signaling, which are crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis.

Abstract
The gut mucosal immune system is considered to play an important role in counteracting potential adverse effects of food-derived antigens including nanovesicles. Whether nanovesicles naturally released from edible fruit work in a coordinated manner with gut immune cells to maintain the gut in a noninflammatory status is not known. Here, as proof of concept, we demonstrate that grapefruit-derived nanovesicles (GDNs) are selectively taken up by intestinal macrophages and ameliorate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse colitis. These effects were mediated by upregulating the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and inhibiting the production of IL-1β and TNF-α in intestinal macrophages. The inherent biocompatibility and biodegradability, stability at wide ranges of pH values, and targeting of intestinal macrophages led us to further develop a novel GDN-based oral delivery system. Incorporating methotrexate (MTX), an anti-inflammatory drug, into GDNs and delivering the MTX-GDNs to mice significantly lowered the MTX toxicity when compared with free MTX, and remarkably increased its therapeutic effects in DSS-induced mouse colitis. These findings demonstrate that GDNs can serve as immune modulators in the intestine, maintain intestinal macrophage homeostasis, and can be developed for oral delivery of small molecule drugs to attenuate inflammatory responses in human disease.

Abstract
To improve lipid membrane stability and prevent leakage of encapsulated food ingredients, a polyelectrolyte delivery system (PDS) based on sodium alginate (AL) and chitosan (CH) coated on the surface of nanoliposomes (NLs) has been prepared and optimized using a layer-by-layer self-assembly deposition technique. Morphology and FTIR observation confirmed PDS has been successfully coated by polymers. Physical stability studies (pH and heat treatment) indicated that the outer-layer polymers could protect the core (NLs) from damage, and PDS showed more intact structure than NLs. Further enzymic digestion stability studies (particle size, surface charge, free fatty acid, and model functional component release) demonstrated that PDS could better resist lipolytic degradation and facilitate a lower level of encapsulated component release in simulated gastrointestinal conditions. This work suggested that deposition of polyelectrolyte on the surface of NLs can stabilize liposomal structure, and PDS could be developed as a formulation for delivering functional food ingredients in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Liposomes loaded with positively charged lactoferrin (LF) were prepared from milk fat globule membrane-derived phospholipids using a thin-layer dispersion method. The entrapment efficiency of LF in the liposomes and the stability during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion were characterized and examined using dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and PAGE. The entrapment efficiency of LF encapsulated in the liposomes was about 46%. The entrapped LF remained unchanged as a function of time and pepsin concentration when the liposome samples were digested in a simulated gastric environment, suggesting that the liposomes prepared from milk fat globule membrane-derived phospholipids were stable and protected the entrapped LF from pepsin hydrolysis. In simulated intestinal fluid, the entrapped LF was more susceptible to hydrolysis by the protease in pancreatin, as shown by changes in the diameter and membrane structure of the liposomes. The release of free fatty acids from the liposomes during digestion in simulated intestinal fluid revealed that the phospholipids in the liposomes were partly hydrolyzed by pancreatic lipase. It was suggested that liposomes may prevent the gastric degradation of LF and reduce the rate of hydrolysis of LF in intestinal conditions.

Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate liposomes containing a bile salt, sodium deoxycholate (SDC), as oral drug delivery systems to enhance the oral bioavailability of the poorly water-soluble and poorly permeable drug, cyclosporine A (CyA). Liposomes composed of soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) and SDC were prepared by a thin-film dispersion method followed by homogenization. Several properties of the liposomes including particle size, polydispersity index, and entrapment efficiency were characterized. The in vitro release of CyA from these liposomes was less than 5% at 12 hours as measured by a dynamic dialysis method. The pharmacokinetic results in rats showed improved absorption of CyA in SPC/SDC liposomes, compared with CyA-loaded conventional SPC/cholesterol (Chol) liposomes and microemulsion-based Sandimmune Neoral(®). The relative oral bioavailability of CyA-loaded SPC/SDC and SPC/Chol liposomes was 120.3% and 98.6%, respectively, with Sandimmun Neoral as the reference. The enhanced bioavailability of CyA was probably due to facilitated absorption by the liposomes containing SDC rather than improved release rate.
