Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128488. [PMID: 38043653 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogels are highly biocompatible biomaterials composed of crosslinked three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers. Owing to their natural origin, polysaccharide-based hydrogels (PBHs) possess low toxicity, high biocompatibility and demonstrate in vivo biodegradability, making them great candidates for use in various biomedical devices, implants, and tissue engineering. In addition, many polysaccharides also show additional biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticoagulant, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, hemostatic, and anti-inflammatory, which can provide additional therapeutic benefits. The porous nature of PBHs allows for the immobilization of antibodies, aptamers, enzymes and other molecules on their surface, or within their matrix, potentiating their use in biosensor devices. Specific polysaccharides can be used to produce transparent hydrogels, which have been used widely to fabricate ocular implants. The ability of PBHs to encapsulate drugs and other actives has been utilized for making neural implants and coatings for cardiovascular devices (stents, pacemakers and venous catheters) and urinary catheters. Their high water-absorption capacity has been exploited to make superabsorbent diapers and sanitary napkins. The barrier property and mechanical strength of PBHs has been used to develop gels and films as anti-adhesive formulations for the prevention of post-operative adhesion. Finally, by virtue of their ability to mimic various body tissues, they have been explored as scaffolds and bio-inks for tissue engineering of a wide variety of organs. These applications have been described in detail, in this review.

Wang C, Huang Y, Jia B, Huang Y, Chen J. Heparanase promotes malignant phenotypes of human oral squamous carcinoma cells by regulating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related molecules and infiltrated levels of natural killer cells. Arch Oral Biol 2023; 154:105775. [PMID: 37481997 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2023.105775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to explore the functional role of heparanase (HPSE) and investigate the effect of HPSE on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and Tumor-infiltrating activated natural killer cells in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS human oral squamous carcinoma (SCC-25) cells were transfected with HPSE-specific small interfering RNA. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was performed to examine cell proliferation, while flow cytometry was performed to analyze the cell cycle. Scratch assay was conducted to analyze cell migration, followed by Transwell assay to determine cell invasion. Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction and Western-blot assays were performed to measure epithelial-mesenchymal transition protein expression. RNA Sequencing analysis and tumor-infiltrating immune cells estimation were performed to elucidate the effect of HPSE on OSCC. RESULTS Knockdown of HPSE expression decreased the proliferation rate of SCC-25 cells resulting in a significant elevation in cell percentage at the Gap phase 0/Gap phase 1 phase by suppressed cell migration and invasion. The E-cadherin messenger RNA and protein expression increased while Snail and Vimentin expression decreased. RNA Sequencing analysis performed between small interfering RNA and negative control groups identified 42 differentially expressed genes, such as syndecan binding protein, RAB11A, member RAS oncogene family, and DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 15. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that knockdown of HPSE suppressed SCC-25 cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, possibly via syndecan binding protein and RAB11A, member RAS oncogene family. Moreover, HPSE regulates the infiltrated levels of natural killer cells activated, possibly via DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 15.

The heparan sulfate mimetic Muparfostat aggravates steatohepatitis in obese mice due to its binding affinity to lipoprotein lipase. Br J Pharmacol 2023; 180:1803-1818. [PMID: 36735592 DOI: 10.1111/bph.16047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Revised: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Heparanase is the only confirmed endoglycosidase that cleaves heparan sulfate (HS), a ubiquitous glycosaminoglycan with various essential roles in multiple pathological processes. Thus, the development of heparanase inhibitors has become an attractive strategy for drug discovery, especially in tumour therapy, in which HS mimetics are the most promising compounds. The various biological effects of heparanase also suggest a role for HS mimetics in many non-cancer indications, such as type 1 diabetes. However, the potential benefits of HS mimetics in obesity-related type 2 diabetes have not been elucidated. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH In this study, we investigated muparfostat (PI-88), a developed HS mimetic currently enrolled in Phase III clinical trials, in obese mouse models and in vitro cultured murine hepatocytes. KEY RESULTS Daily administration of muparfostat for 4 weeks caused hyperlipidaemia and aggravated hepatic steatosis in obese mice models, but not in lean animals. In cultured hepatocytes, muparfostat did not alter lipid accumulation. Acute tests suggested that muparfostat binds to lipoprotein lipase in competition with HS on vascular endothelial cell surfaces, thereby reducing the degradation of circulating triglycerides by lipoprotein lipase and subsequent uptake of fatty acids into vascular endothelial cells and causing hyperlipidaemia. This hyperlipidaemia aggravates hepatic steatosis and causes liver injury in muparfostat-treated obese mice. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The binding activity of HS mimetics to lipoprotein lipase should be investigated as an additional pharmacological effect during heparanase inhibitor drug discovery. This study also provides novel evidence for an increased risk of drug-induced liver injury in obese individuals.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-26996-1. [PMID: 37249774 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-26996-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis, a type of programmed cell death, has recently gained much attention in a variety of tumor types. Few studies have been performed to explore the role of MPT-driven necrosis-related lncRNAs (MPTDNRlncRNAs) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). The purpose of our study is to screen MPTDNRlncRNAs with prognostic value and to explore their potential roles in LSCC. The RNA-sequencing data and the corresponding clinical data of LSCC patients were obtained from the TCGA database, and those MPT-driven necrosis-related genes were extracted from the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) database. We identified MPTDNRlncRNAs differentially expressed in LSCC. Also, we gained MPT-driven necrosis-related prognostic lncRNAs by univariate cox regression analysis. A novel MPTDNRlncRNAs signature was constructed by LASSO-COX. The accuracy and utility of the MPTDNRlncRNAs signature were evaluated via a variety of statistical methods. Multiple bioinformatics tools were used to explore the underlying difference in biological functions and signaling pathways between the different risk groups. The expressions levels of MPTDNRlncRNAs were analyzed using RT-qPCR in LSCC cell line. Finally, we identified A 5 MPTDNRlncRNAs signature in LSCC. Our prognostic model demonstrated an efficient ability to predict outcomes. The proportion difference of immune cells in the subgroups were significant, such as M0 macrophage and T follicular helper cells. The in vitro experiments suggested that our MPTDNRlncRNAs were significantly different. This 5 MPTDNRlncRNAs signature is a prognostic biomarker for LSCC. More importantly, the novel biologic prognostic model can be utilized for personalized immunotherapy in LSCC patients.

Abstract
Metastasis and relapse are major causes of cancer-related fatalities. The elucidation of relevant pathomechanisms and adoption of appropriate countermeasures are thus crucial for the development of clinical strategies that inhibit malignancy progression as well as metastasis. An integral component of the extracellular matrix, the type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein syndecan-1 (SDC-1) binds cytokines and growth factors involved in tumor microenvironment modulation. Alterations in its localization have been implicated in both cancer metastasis and drug resistance. In this review, available data regarding the structural characteristics, shedding process, and nuclear translocation of SDC-1 are detailed with the aim of highlighting strategies directly targeting SDC-1 as well as SDC-1-mediated carcinogenesis.
