Exp Cell Res 2024; 442:114224. [PMID: 39187151 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2024.114224] [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: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
Matrix stiffness is a crucial factor in the tumor microenvironment, impacting tumor progression and development. TET2 is vital for epigenetic regulation in melanoma and is significantly reduced in advanced melanomas compared with nevi and thin melanomas. However, it is unclear how TET2 mediates the effect of matrix stiffness on melanoma cells. This study utilized A2058 cell lines and prepared different stiffness collagen hydrogels to evaluate TET2 overexpression (TET2OE) and mutant (TET2M) melanoma cells' activity, proliferation, and invasion. A2058 melanoma cells' viability and invasion decreased with increased matrix stiffness, with TET2OE cells experiencing a more significant impact than TET2M cells. Methylation analysis revealed that TET2 determines gene methylation levels, influencing cell-ECM interactions. Transcriptome analysis confirmed that TET2 promotes matrix stiffness's effect on melanoma cell fate. This research provides promising directions and opportunities for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Tannic acid (TA), a natural polyphenol, is a hydrolysable amphiphilic tannin derivative of gallic acid with several galloyl groups in its structure. Tannic acid interacts with various organic, inorganic, hydrophilic, and hydrophobic materials such as proteins and polysaccharides via hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, coordinative bonding, and hydrophobic interactions. Tannic acid has been studied for various biomedical applications as a natural crosslinker with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer activities. In this review, we focus on TA-based hydrogels for biomaterials engineering to help biomaterials scientists and engineers better realize TA's potential in the design and fabrication of novel hydrogel biomaterials. The interactions of TA with various natural or synthetic compounds are deliberated, discussing parameters that affect TA-material interactions thus providing a fundamental set of criteria for utilizing TA in hydrogels for tissue healing and regeneration. The review also discusses the merits and demerits of using TA in developing hydrogels either through direct incorporation in the hydrogel formulation or indirectly via immersing the final product in a TA solution. In general, TA is a natural bioactive molecule with diverse potential for engineering biomedical hydrogels.

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
Tannic acid is a chief gallo-tannin belonging to the hydrolysable tannins extracted from gall nuts and other plant sources. A myriad of pharmaceutical and biological applications in the medical field has been well recognized to tannic acid. Among these effects, potential anticancer activities against several solid malignancies such as liver, breast, lung, pancreatic, colorectal and ovarian cancers have been reported. Tannic acid was found to play a maestro-role in tuning several oncological signaling pathways including JAK/STAT, RAS/RAF/mTOR, TGF-β1/TGF-β1R axis, VEGF/VEGFR and CXCL12/CXCR4 axes. The combinational beneficial effects of tannic acid with other conventional chemotherapeutic drugs have been clearly demonstrated in literature such as a synergistic anticancer effect and enhancement of the chemo-sensitivity in several resistant cases. Yet, clinical applications of tannic acid have been limited owing to its poor lipid solubility, low bioavailability, off-taste, and short half-life. To overcome such obstacles, novel drug delivery systems have been employed to deliver tannic acid with the aim of improving its applications and/or efficacy against cancer cells. Among these drug delivery systems are several types of organic and metallic nanoparticles. In this review, the authors focus on the molecular mechanisms of tannic acid in tuning several neoplastic diseases as well as novel drug delivery systems that can be used for its clinical applications with an attempt to provide a systemic reference to promote the development of tannic acid as a cheap drug and/or drug delivery system in cancer management.

Abstract
A novel versatile biocompatible hydrogel of whey protein isolate (WPI) and two types of tannic acid (TAs) was prepared by crosslinking of WPI with TAs in a one-step method at high temperature for 30 min. WPI is one common protein-based preparation which is used for hydrogel formation. The obtained WPI-TA hydrogels were in disc form and retained their integrity after sterilization by autoclaving. Two TA preparations of differing molecular weight and chemical structure were compared, namely a polygalloyl glucose-rich extract-ALSOK 02-and a polygalloyl quinic acid-rich extract-ALSOK 04. Hydrogel formation was observed for WPI solutions containing both preparations. The swelling characteristics of hydrogels were investigated at room temperature at different pH values, namely 5, 7, and 9. The swelling ability of hydrogels was independent of the chemical structure of the added TAs. A trend of decrease of mass increase (MI) in hydrogels was observed with an increase in the TA/WPI ratio compared to the control WPI hydrogel without TA. This dependence (a MI decrease-TA/WPI ratio) was observed for hydrogels with different types of TA both in neutral and acidic conditions (pH 5.7). Under alkaline conditions (pH 9), negative values of swelling were observed for all hydrogels with a high content of TAs and were accompanied by a significant release of TAs from the hydrogel network. Our studies have shown that the release of TA from hydrogels containing ALSOK04 is higher than from hydrogels containing ALSOK 02. Moreover, the addition of TAs, which display a strong anti-cancer effect, increases the cytotoxicity of WPI-TAs hydrogels against the Hep-2 human laryngeal squamous carcinoma (Hep-2 cells) cell line. Thus, WPI-TA hydrogels with prolonged drug release properties and cytotoxicity effect can be used as anti-cancer scaffolds.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most common causes of death and affects millions of lives every year. In addition to non-infectious carcinogens, infectious agents contribute significantly to increased incidence of several cancers. Several therapeutic techniques have been used for the treatment of such cancers. Recently, nanotechnology has emerged to advance the diagnosis, imaging, and therapeutics of various cancer types. Nanomaterials have multiple advantages over other materials due to their small size and high surface area, which allow retention and controlled drug release to improve the anti-cancer property. Most cancer therapies have been known to damage healthy cells due to poor specificity, which can be avoided by using nanosized particles. Nanomaterials can be combined with various types of biomaterials to make it less toxic and improve its biocompatibility. Based on these properties, several nanomaterials have been developed which possess excellent anti-cancer efficacy potential and improved diagnosis. This review presents the latest update on novel nanomaterials used to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic of pathogen-associated and non-pathogenic cancers. We further highlighted mechanistic insights into their mode of action, improved features, and limitations.

Abstract
Collagen-based biomaterials constitute one of the most widely studied types of materials for biomedical applications. Low thermal and mechanical parameters are the main disadvantages of such structures. Moreover, they present low stability in the case of degradation by collagenase. To improve the properties of collagen-based materials, different types of cross-linkers have been researched. In recent years, phenolic acids have been studied as collagen modifiers. Mainly, tannic acid has been tested for collagen modification as it interacts with a polymeric chain by strong hydrogen bonds. When compared to pure collagen, such complexes show both antimicrobial activity and improved physicochemical properties. Less research reporting on other phenolic acids has been published. This review is a summary of the present knowledge about phenolic acids (e.g., tannic, ferulic, gallic, and caffeic acid) application as collagen cross-linkers. The studies concerning collagen-based materials with phenolic acids are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
As a phenolic acid, tannic acid can be classified into a polyphenolic group. It has been widely studied in the biomedical field of science because it presents unique antiviral as well as antibacterial properties. Tannic acid has been reported to present the activity against Influeneza A virus, Papilloma viruses, noroviruses, Herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as well as activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria innocua. Nowadays, compounds of natural origin constitute fundaments of material science, and the trend is called "from nature to nature". Although biopolymers have found a broad range of applications in biomedical sciences, they do not present anti-microbial activity, and their physicochemical properties are rather poor. Biopolymers, however, may be modified with organic and inorganic additives which enhance their properties. Tannic acid, like phenolic acid, is classified into a polyphenolic group and can be isolated from natural sources, e.g., a pure compound or a component of a plant extract. Numerous studies have been carried out over the application of tannic acid as an additive to biopolymer materials due to its unique properties. On the one hand, it shows antimicrobial and antiviral activity, while on the other hand, it reveals promising biological properties, i.e., enhances the cell proliferation, tissue regeneration and wound healing processes. Tannic acid is added to different biopolymers, collagen and polysaccharides as chitosan, agarose and starch. Its activity has been proven by the determination of physicochemical properties, as well as the performance of in vitro and in vivo studies. This systematics review is a summary of current studies on tannic acid properties. It presents tannic acid as an excellent natural compound which can be used to eliminate pathogenic factors as well as a revision of current studies on tannic acid composed with biopolymers and active properties of the resulting complexes.

Abstract
Irgacure 2959 (I2959) is widely used as a photoinitiator for photochemical crosslinking of hydrogels. However, the free radicals generated from I2959 have been reported to be highly cytotoxic. In this study, methacrylated collagen (CMA) hydrogels were photochemically crosslinked using two different photoinitiators (i.e., I2959 and VA086) and the effect of photoinitiator type, photoinitiator concentration (i.e., 0.02 and 0.1%) and crosslinking time (1 and 10 min) on gel morphology, compressive modulus, and stability were investigated. In addition, Saos-2 cells were encapsulated within the hydrogels and the effect of photochemical crosslinking conditions on cell viability, metabolic activity, and osteoblast functionality was assessed. Scanning electron microscopy imaging showed that photochemical crosslinking decreased the porosity of the hydrogels resulting in decrease in water retention ability compared to uncrosslinked hydrogels. On the other hand, photochemical crosslinking improved the stability of CMA hydrogels (p < 0.05). Uniaxial compression tests showed that increasing the photoinitiator concentration significantly improved the compressive modulus of CMA hydrogels (p < 0.05). Results from the live-dead assay showed that VA086 crosslinked hydrogels exhibited higher cell viability compared to I2959 (p < 0.05) crosslinked hydrogels indicating that VA086 is more cytocompatible compared to I2959. Furthermore, Alizarin Red S staining revealed a significantly more pronounced cell-mediated mineralization on VA086 crosslinked hydrogels (p < 0.05) indicating that Saos-2 cells retain their normal functionality in the presence of VA086. In summary, these results indicate that VA086 is a more biocompatible photoinitiator compared to I2959 for the generation of photochemically crosslinked CMA hydrogels for tissue engineering applications. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Tannic acid (TA), a high-molecular-weight polyphenol, is used as a hemostasis spray and unguent for trauma wound remedy in traditional medical treatment. However, the use of tannic acid on a large-area wound would lead to absorption poisoning. In this work, a TA coating was assembled on a quartz/silicon slide, or medical gauze, via chelation interaction between TA and Fe3+ ions and for further use as a hemostasis dressing. Protein adsorption on the TA coating was further investigated by fluorescence signal, ellipsometry analysis and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The adsorbed bovine serum albumin (BSA), immunoglobulin G (IgG) and fibrinogen (Fgn) on the TA coating was in the manner of monolayer saturation adsorption, and fibrinogen showed the largest adsorption. Furthermore, we found the slight hemolysis of the TA coating caused by the lysed red blood cells and adsorption of protein, especially the clotting-related fibrinogen, resulted in excellent hemostasis performance of the TA coating in the blood clotting of an animal wound. Thus, this economic, environmentally friendly, flexible TA coating has potential in medical applications as a means of preparing novel hemostasis materials.

Abstract
The poor burning resistance of cotton necessitates the control of its pyrolytic reactions, but many approaches have relied on the use of synthetically engineered chemicals. Herein, we show how a natural polyphenol from plants—tannic acid—acts with sodium ions to create a robust thermal barrier coat on cotton, with a focus on thermal kinetics. The kinetic information, combined with thermal and spectral analyses, revealed that the outer layer of galloyl units in tannic acid decomposes via a two-step reaction, producing a multicellular char of crosslinked aromatic rings, followed by the blowing of carbonaceous cells into a further expanded structure. This intumescent function of tannic acid was found to be enhanced upon its complexation with sodium ions, which greatly increased the activation energy for the first step of the reaction of tannic acid, to promote the formation of a stable char. The resulting blown char coated the cotton fiber below the thermal decomposition temperature of cellulose and was sustained throughout the decomposition. The enhanced thermal barrier performance of the Na–tannic acid complex was demonstrated by the reduced heat release capacity of cotton, the value of which was only about one-third that of tannic acid itself, and the inhibition of flame generation on cotton. A reinforced thermal barrier coat of a Na–tannic acid complex controls the high flammability of cotton.![]()
