Development of a Temperature-Responsive Hydrogel Incorporating PVA into NIPAAm for Controllable Drug Release in Skin Regeneration. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:44076-44085. [PMID: 38027389 PMCID: PMC10666273 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c06291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
Melanoma, a highly malignant and aggressive form of skin cancer, poses a significant global health threat, with limited treatment options and potential side effects. In this study, we developed a temperature-responsive hydrogel for skin regeneration with a controllable drug release. The hydrogel was fabricated using an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). PVA was chosen for its adhesive properties, biocompatibility, and ability to address hydrophobicity issues associated with NIPAAm. The hydrogel was loaded with doxorubicin (DOX), an anticancer drug, for the treatment of melanoma. The NIPAAm-PVA (N-P) hydrogel demonstrated temperature-responsive behavior with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) around 34 °C. The addition of PVA led to increased porosity and faster drug release. In vitro biocompatibility tests showed nontoxicity and supported cell proliferation. The N-P hydrogel exhibited effective anticancer effects on melanoma cells due to its rapid drug release behavior. This N-P hydrogel system shows great promise for controlled drug delivery and potential applications in skin regeneration and cancer treatment. Further research, including in vivo studies, will be essential to advance this hydrogel system toward clinical translation and impactful advancements in regenerative medicine and cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to develop a novel nanofiber wound dressing with multiple functional properties that combines suitable mechanical properties, slow and controlled drug release, antifungal activity, and visual drug monitoring to accelerate wound healing while reducing systemic circulation of the drug, achieving reduced dose and side effects, and achieving patient satisfaction and compliance. In this paper, visualized nanofiber films were prepared using electrostatic spinning technology. This nanofiber wound dressing has soft tissue-like mechanical and antifungal properties and is biocompatible. In particular, the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm)/tetraphenylethylene (TPE)/amphotericin B (AMB) nanofiber films showed good performance in terms of antifungal activity and cytocompatibility compared with medical gauze, and significantly accelerated the wound healing process in a mouse total wound defect model with PCL+PVP+TPE+AMB+PNIPAAm. The wound healing rate of nanofibrous membrane group was 100% at 14 days. In addition, histological analysis, collagen deposition and immunohistochemistry showed, for example, fewer inflammatory cells, more fibroblasts around the damaged area, increased wound epithelial atrophy, reduced granulation tissue, connective tissue reconstruction, epithelial tissue formation, and abundant small angiogenesis in the dermis near the epidermis; a higher level of collagen deposition fraction of 49.97%; and a simultaneous reduction in HIF-1α production and upregulated the expression of CD31. In conclusion, this antifungal nanofiber film showed promising applications throughout the skin wound healing process.

Abstract
AbstractA novel method for multi-finishing cellulosic fabrics is based on the consolidation of a thin layer of active material containing micro-gels, titanium nanoparticles and silica. The titanium@silica core–shell particles were synthesized and characterized for their morphological, structural, and compositional properties using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The nanoparticles are approximately 250 nm in size and have a spherical shape. A microgel/titanium@silica nanoparticles composite was prepared mixing with the gel produced from copolymerizing N-isopropyl acrylamide with itaconic acid and then it was characterized. The prepared gel is characterized to be pH and temperature-sensitive. Pad dry cure from the emulsion was used to applied the prepared gel with and without titanium nanoparticles to the cellulosic fabric. Fabric treated with a gel containing and without titanium nanoparticles was tested for antibacterial properties, ultraviolet protection, temperature, and pH sensitivity. According to the evaluation, treated fabric with titanium nanoparticles has better antibacterial, ultraviolet protection, and is more sensitive to pH and temperature than treated fabric without titanium nanoparticles, and both treated fabrics outperform the untreated one.

Abstract
A spray dressing based on lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) with adjustable crystalline lattices was investigated in this study. It possesses water-triggering phase transition property and ease of spraying on wound, as well as stable drug encapsulation and controllable drug release. When it comes to wound with exudate, adequate water absorption and sustainable mechanical strength after water absorption was important for a good dressing, while most of the normal LLC dressings were still unable to meet such standards. Herein, a type of hyaluronic acid (HA)-incorporated LLC-based spray dressing (HLCSD) was developed to overcome the above limitations. After comparing HAs with different molecular weights (MWs) and concentrations, 3% HA with MW of 800~1000 kD was chosen as an ideal amount of excipients to add into the HLCSD. The water absorption of HLCSD precursor increased by 150% with the appearance of enlarged water channels. The complex modulus of HLCSD gel also increased from 1 to 100 kPa, which suggested lasting wound coverage and good patient compliance when used clinically. The spraying and phase transition properties of HLCSD was studied and showed acceptable changes. Moreover, good safety comparable with the commercial product Purilon® was also demonstrated in an in vivo acute skin irritation test. Thus, the improved HLCSD was a promising dressing for exudation wound treatment.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a valuable tool in the production of complexes structures with specific shapes for tissue engineering. Differently from native tissues, the printed structures are static and do not transform their shape in response to different environment changes. Stimuli-responsive biocompatible materials have emerged in the biomedical field due to the ability of responding to other stimuli (physical, chemical, and/or biological), resulting in microstructures modifications. Four-dimensional (4D) printing arises as a new technology that implements dynamic improvements in printed structures using smart materials (stimuli-responsive materials) and/or cells. These dynamic scaffolds enable engineered tissues to undergo morphological changes in a pre-planned way. Stimuli-responsive polymeric hydrogels are the most promising material for 4D bio-fabrication because they produce a biocompatible and bioresorbable 3D shape environment similar to the extracellular matrix and allow deposition of cells on the scaffold surface as well as in the inside. Subsequently, this review presents different bioresorbable advanced polymers and discusses its use in 4D printing for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Injectable biomaterials scaffolds play a pivotal role for dental tissue regeneration, as such materials are highly applicable in the dental field, particularly when compared to pre-formed scaffolds. The defects in the maxilla-oral area are normally small, confined and sometimes hard to access. This narrative review describes different types of biomaterials for dental tissue regeneration, and also discusses the potential use of nanofibers for dental tissues. Various studies suggest that tissue engineering approaches involving the use of injectable biomaterials have the potential of restoring not only dental tissue function but also their biological purposes.

Abstract
Due to the circadian rhythm regulation of almost every biological process in the human body, physiological and biochemical conditions vary considerably over the course of a 24-h period. Thus, optimal drug delivery and therapy should be effectively controlled to achieve the desired therapeutic plasma concentrations and therapeutic drug responses at the required time according to chronopharmacological concepts, rather than continuous maintenance of constant drug concentrations for an extended time period. For many drugs, it is not always necessary to constantly deliver a drug into the human body under disease conditions due to rhythmic variations. Pulsatile drug delivery systems (PDDSs) have been receiving more attention in pharmaceutical development by providing a predetermined lag period, followed by a fast or rate-controlled drug release after application. PDDSs are characterized by a programmed drug release, which may release a drug at repeatable pulses to match the biological and clinical needs of a given disease therapy. This review article focuses on thermoresponsive gating membranes embedded with liquid crystals (LCs) for transdermal drug delivery using PDDS technology. In addition, the principal rationale and the advanced approaches for the use of PDDSs, the marketed products of chronotherapeutic DDSs with pulsatile function designed by various PDDS technologies, pulsatile drug delivery designed with thermoresponsive polymers, challenges and opportunities of transdermal drug delivery, and novel approaches of LC systems for drug delivery are reviewed and discussed. A brief overview of all academic research articles concerning single LC- or binary LC-embedded thermoresponsive membranes with a switchable on-off permeation function through topical application by an external temperature control, which may modulate the dosing interval and administration time according to the therapeutic needs of the human body, is also compiled and presented. In the near future, since thermal-based approaches have become a well-accepted method to enhance transdermal delivery of different water-soluble drugs and macromolecules, a combination of the thermal-assisted approach with thermoresponsive LCs membranes will have the potential to improve PDDS applications but still poses a great challenge.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared double cross-linked interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels composed of temperature sensitive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and pH sensitive hyaluronic acid (HA) by radical polymerization and Michael addition. Their physicochemical properties for transdermal delivery of luteolin inhibiting the hyperproliferation of keratinocytes in psoriasis were investigated and drug release studies were performed. Double networks of HA/PNIPAM IPN hydrogel were identified through FT-IR and 13CNMR. By measuring the swelling ratios pH and temperature sensitivity were confirmed, and it was influenced by the content of a cross-linking agent. As a result of texture analysis and rheometry, a IPN hydrogel with 3% crosslinker content had the most adhesive and stable cross-linked network. Therefore, luteolin was loaded on this hydrogel. Its drug release behavior was determined at various temperatures and pH using several drug release kinetic models. As a result of skin permeation study, HA/PNIPAM IPN hydrogel effectively delivers luteolin to the epidermis and dermis. No toxicity was observed as a result of observing cytotoxicity of the hydrogel for application to the skin. In conclusion, IPN hydrogels can be developed as carriers of transdermal delivery system of luteolin for psoriasis skin relief.

Abstract
Materials which adjust their properties in response to environmental factors such as temperature, pH and ionic strength are rapidly evolving and known as smart materials. Hydrogels formed by smart polymers have various applications. Among the smart polymers, thermoresponsive polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) is very important because of its well defined structure and property specially its temperature response is closed to human body and can be finetuned as well. Mechanical properties are critical for the performance of stimuli responsive hydrogels in diverse applications. However, native PNIPAM hydrogels are very fragile and hardly useful for any practical purpose. Intense researches have been done in recent decade to enhance the mechanical features of PNIPAM hydrogel. In this review, several strategies including interpenetrating polymer network (IPN), double network (DN), nanocomposite (NC) and slide ring (SR) hydrogels are discussed in the context of PNIPAM hydrogel.

The exploitation of the sea as a renewable source of biocompounds can have a positive impact on the development of new systems and devices for biomedical applications. Marine polysaccharides are among the most abundant materials in the seas, which contributes to a decrease of the extraction costs, besides their solubility behavior in aqueous solvents and extraction media, and their interaction with other biocompounds. Polysaccharides such as alginate, carrageenan and fucoidan can be extracted from algae, whereas chitosan and hyaluronan can be obtained from animal sources. Most marine polysaccharides have important biological properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and anti-inflammatory activity, as well as adhesive and antimicrobial actions. Moreover, they can be modified in order to allow processing them into various shapes and sizes and may exhibit response dependence to external stimuli, such as pH and temperature. Due to these properties, these biomaterials have been studied as raw material for the construction of carrier devices for drugs, including particles, capsules and hydrogels. The devices are designed to achieve a controlled release of therapeutic agents in an attempt to fight against serious diseases, and to be used in advanced therapies, such as gene delivery or regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The design of 3D constructs with adequate properties to instruct and guide cells both in vitro and in vivo is one of the major focuses of tissue engineering. Successful tissue regeneration depends on the favorable crosstalk between the supporting structure, the cells and the host tissue so that a balanced matrix production and degradation are achieved. Herein, the major occurring events and players in normal and regenerative tissue are overviewed. These have been inspiring the selection or synthesis of instructive cues to include into the 3D constructs. We further highlight the importance of a multiscale perception of the range of features that can be included on the biomimetic structures. Lastly, we focus on the current and developing tissue-engineering approaches for the preparation of such 3D constructs: top-down, bottom-up and integrative. Bottom-up and integrative approaches present a higher potential for the design of tissue engineering devices with multiscale features and higher biochemical control than top-down strategies, and are the main focus of this review.

Abstract
Poly(2-ethyl-(2-pyrrolidone)methacrylate)–hyaluronic acid hydrogels based on the free radical polymerization of 2-ethyl-(2-pyrrolidone)methacrylate combined with hyaluronic acid, using N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide or triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, as cross-linking agents, were considered for tissue engineering applications. Bovine articular chondrocytes were seeded onto the poly(2-ethyl-(2-pyrrolidone)methacrylate)–hyaluronic acid hydrogels, under orbital agitation, for a total of 40 days. The engineered cell-constructs were characterized according to cell proliferation, morphology and distribution as well as the biochemical composition of the tissue formed. The chondrocytes were found to be attached and presented a typical spherical morphology. Cells were able to proliferate and synthesize a hyaline-like matrix rich in glycosaminoglycans and collagen type II which were mainly located on the superficial area. Increased content of individual components poly(2-ethyl-(2-pyrrolidone)methacrylate) and hyaluronic acid, in triethylene glycol dimethacrylate–cross-linked networks led to enhanced cell distribution and total glycosaminoglycans content, supporting their potential application for the repair of cartilaginous tissues.

Abstract
Novel temperature-sensitive micelles, possessing a core-shell structure, were successfully fabricated and evaluated as possible systems for targeting anticancer drugs to solid tumors. The amphiphilic block copolymer poly( N-isopropylacrylamide- co-acrylamide)-b-poly( n-butyl methacrylate) was used to achieve a stimuli-responsive on/off release and spatial specificity. The anticancer drug methotrexate, which is poorly water soluble, was used as the model. Fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, gel-permeation chromatography, and critical micelle concentration were used to evaluate the successful synthesis of block copolymers with a lower critical solution temperature ~40°C. Based on transmission electron microscope images, the micelles are spherical particles with narrow size distribution. The thermally triggered release of methotrexate was observed in vitro. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation was used to investigate the interactions of the polymeric micelles with bovine serum albumin, to illustrate protein adsorption and cell attachment. Cytotoxicity studies were conducted on Lewis lung carcinoma cells, and the anticancer activity of methotrexate-loaded micelles was significantly enhanced in combination with hyperthermia. The thermo-sensitive characteristics of the micelles make them applicable as smart drug delivery systems, when combined with localized hyperthermia.

Abstract
Prodrug development is an important strategy for improving tumor cell targeting and the selectivity of anticancer drugs. In this study, poly(ethylene glycol) and melphalan, an anticancer drug, were linked to the backbone of hyaluronic acid via amide bonds using carbodiimide chemistry to synthesize a poly(ethylene glycol)–hyaluronic acid–melphalan prodrug. The physicochemical properties of the prodrug were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The in vitro drug release profiles and the corresponding in vitro cell evaluation of the prodrug were investigated. The poly(ethylene glycol)–hyaluronic acid–melphalan prodrug was successfully synthesized and self-assembled into 116.4-nm nanoparticles. The release profiles demonstrated that controlled release of the prodrug could be achieved with a sensitive property involving both pH and enzymatic degradation. The poly(ethylene glycol)–hyaluronic acid–melphalan prodrug was more effectively transferred into the ovarian tumor cell (SKOV3) than into human ovarian fibroblast (HOF) cells. It also had a higher inhibition effect on SKOV3 and a lower inhibition effect on HOF than melphalan. This poly(ethylene glycol)–hyaluronic acid–melphalan prodrug, with its controlled release properties and selectivity, is a promising drug delivery system for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Degradable and cell-compatible hydrogels can be designed to mimic the physical and biochemical characteristics of native extracellular matrices and provide tunability of degradation rates and related properties under physiological conditions. Hence, such hydrogels are finding widespread application in many bioengineering fields, including controlled bioactive molecule delivery, cell encapsulation for controlled three-dimensional culture, and tissue engineering. Cellular processes, such as adhesion, proliferation, spreading, migration, and differentiation, can be controlled within degradable, cell-compatible hydrogels with temporal tuning of biochemical or biophysical cues, such as growth factor presentation or hydrogel stiffness. However, thoughtful selection of hydrogel base materials, formation chemistries, and degradable moieties is necessary to achieve the appropriate level of property control and desired cellular response. In this review, hydrogel design considerations and materials for hydrogel preparation, ranging from natural polymers to synthetic polymers, are overviewed. Recent advances in chemical and physical methods to crosslink hydrogels are highlighted, as well as recent developments in controlling hydrogel degradation rates and modes of degradation. Special attention is given to spatial or temporal presentation of various biochemical and biophysical cues to modulate cell response in static (i.e., non-degradable) or dynamic (i.e., degradable) microenvironments. This review provides insight into the design of new cell-compatible, degradable hydrogels to understand and modulate cellular processes for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
The ever increasing improvements of pharmaceutical formulations have been often obtained by means of the use of hydrogels. In particular, environmentally sensitive hydrogels have been investigated as "smart" delivery systems capable to release, at the appropriate time and site of action, entrapped drugs in response to specific physiological triggers. At the same time the progress in the tissue engineering research area was possible because of significant innovations in the field of hydrogels. In recent years multicomponent hydrogels, such as semi-Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (semi-IPNs) and Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs) have emerged as innovative biomaterials for drug delivery and as scaffolds for tissue engineering. These interpenetrated hydrogel networks, which can be obtained by either chemical or physical crosslinking, in most cases show physico-chemical properties that can remarkably differ from those of the macromolecular constituents. Among the synthetic and natural polymers that have been used for the preparation of semi-IPNs and IPNs, polysaccharides represent a class of macromolecules of particular interest because they are usually abundant, available from renewable sources and have a large variety of composition and properties that may allow appropriately tailored chemical modifications. Sometimes both macromolecular systems are based on polysaccharides but often also synthetic polymers are present together with polysaccharide chains. The description and discussion of (semi)-IPNs reported here, will allow to acquire a better understanding of the potential and wide range of applications of IPN polysaccharide hydrogels. A quite large number of polysaccharides have been investigated for the design of (semi)-IPNs for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. This review article however mainly focuses on two of the most studied polysaccharide-based (semi)-IPNs, namely those obtained using alginate and hyaluronic acid. An overview of the methods of preparation, the properties, the performances as drug delivery systems and as scaffolds for tissue engineering, of (semi)-IPNs obtained using these two polysaccharides and their derivatives, will be given.

Abstract
A nanocomposite thermogel composed of Pluronic®-based multiblock copolymer and laponite nanoclay was developed to sustain delivery of low-molecular-weight proteins. The rapid release of low-molecular-weight proteins from multiblock copolymer thermogels has been a problem for sustained delivery but was solved by using nanocomposite thermogel. Lysozyme (Mw = 14,700), a relatively low-molecular-weight protein, was successfully loaded into and released from nanocomposite thermogel. In addition, interactions among multiblock copolymer, laponite, and lysozyme were studied in terms of gelation, micellization, particle size, and zeta potential. Critical micellization temperatures and sol–gel transition temperatures of multiblock copolymer solutions were lowered with laponite addition. Positively charged lysozyme was adsorbed onto anionic surface of laponite, which increased with an increase in the lysozyme concentration. Particle size and zeta potential of the laponite–lysozyme complex were also dependent on the lysozyme concentration. The nanocomposite thermogel sustained lysozyme release to 40 days, whereas lysozyme release from multiblock copolymer thermogel lasted for only 18 days. The structural stability of released lysozyme was confirmed by circular dichroism spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry.

Abstract
The heparin-Pluronic (HP) conjugate was coupled via redox-sensitive disulfide bond and contains a vinyl sulfone (VS) group with high reactivity to some functional groups such as thiol group. Heparin was conjugated with cystamine and the terminal hydroxyl groups of Pluronic were activated with the VS group, followed by coupling of VS groups of Pluronic with cystamine of heparin. The chemical structure, heparin content and VS group content of the resulting product were determined by (1)H NMR, FT-IR, toluidine blue assay and Ellman's method. The HP conjugate formed a type of nanogel in an aqueous medium, showing a critical micelle concentration of approximately 129.35 mg L(-1), a spherical shape and the mean diameter of 115.7 nm, which were measured by AFM and DLS. The release test demonstrated that HP nanogel was rapidly degraded when treated with glutathione. Cytotoxicity results showed a higher viability of drug-free HP nanogel than that of drug-loaded one. Cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Cys) (cRGDfC) peptide was efficiently conjugated to VS groups of HP nanogel and exhibited higher cellular uptake than unmodified nanogels. All results suggest a novel multi-functional nanocarrier delivery and effective release of proteins to the intracellular region in a redox-sensitive manner.

Abstract
To improve the hemocompatibility and elution of antimicrobial agents for medical devices, N,N′-dimethylacrylamide (DMAAm) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) were sequentially grafted onto polypropylene (PP) films. Various (PP-g-DMAAm)-g-NIPAAm grafts were prepared using different time periods of irradiation while keeping the radiation dose constant. The hydrogel layer that formed on the surface of the PP was temperature-responsive (shifted from 32°C for NIPAAm to 37°C for the copolymer). The (PP-g-DMAAm)-g-NIPAAm films adsorbed serum albumin but not fibrinogen and had significantly lower hemolytic and thrombogenic activity. The DMAAm promoted the loading of norfloxacin (13.3 μg cm—2) when the hydrogel layer was swollen; as the NIPAAm shrank, a sustained delivery (∼6 h) occurred at body temperature. These functionalized PP films have potential as hemo- and cyto-compatible materials for medical devices and drug delivery products.

Abstract
Improving the efficacy of drug delivery via nanocarriers has been a major issue in the field of intravenous delivery. In this study, a polymeric nanogel was developed to enhance the stability, redox responsiveness, and the efficacy for intracellular protein delivery. The thiolated heparin-Pluronic conjugate was self-assembled and oxidized to form a disulfide-crosslinked nanogel network under a diluted aqueous condition. The disulfide-crosslinked heparin-Pluronic (DHP) nanogels with encapsulated RNase A were characterized by in vitro release and cytotoxicity tests depending on the existence of glutathione (GSH). The DHP nanogels exhibited reduced hydrodynamic size, higher encapsulation degree, and augmentable release responding to the GSH concentration. The ctotoxicity data confirmed that DHP nanogels were more effective for the intracellular delivery of RNase A compared to non-crosslinked nanogel.

Abstract
The thermo- and amphiphilic ABC triblock copolymers, single-methoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate), were synthesized by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer radical polymerization. The triblock copolymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, and gel permeation chromatography. The copolymers self-assemble into thermo-responsive nano-sized micelles in aqueous media. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering showed that the micelles were regularly spherical in shape with an average diameter ~120 nm. Fluorescence analysis indicated that the triblock copolymer had a low critical micelle concentration of 2.5 mg/L in aqueous media at pH 7.4 and room temperature. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the micelles could be altered by simply changing the pH. The LCST of the triblock copolymer at pH 5.5 was altered to 37.5 ° C (close to physiological temperature) by copolymerizing N-isopropylacrylamide with acrylic acid. When the pH was increased to 7.4, the LCST increased to 55°C and it decreased to 33°C when the pH was 2.0. The micelles exhibited good biocompatibility with human embryonic kidney cells, when the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay was performed. The controlled release of folic acid (FA) from FA-loaded micelles under different conditions was evaluated. The rate and amount of the drug released were greater above the LCST than below it.
