Abstract
The lymphatic system has garnered significant attention in drug delivery research due to the advantages it offers, such as enhancing systemic exposure and enabling lymph node targeting for nanomedicines via the lymphatic delivery route. The journey of drug carriers involves transport from the administration site to the lymphatic vessels, traversing the lymph before entering the bloodstream or targeting specific lymph nodes. However, the anatomical and physiological barriers of the lymphatic system play a pivotal role in influencing the behavior and efficiency of carriers. To expedite research and subsequent clinical translation, this review begins by introducing the composition and classification of the lymphatic system. Subsequently, we explore the routes and mechanisms through which nanoparticles enter lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes. The review further delves into the interactions between nanomedicine and body fluids at the administration site or within lymphatic vessels. Finally, we provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in lymphatic delivery systems, addressing the challenges and opportunities inherent in current systems for delivering macromolecules and vaccines.

Assessment of Physicochemical and In Vivo Biological Properties of Polymeric Nanocapsules Based on Chitosan and Poly( N-vinyl pyrrolidone- alt-itaconic anhydride). Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14091811. [PMID: 35566980 PMCID: PMC9104533 DOI: 10.3390/polym14091811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Revised: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Drug delivery is an important field of nanomedicine, and its aim is to deliver specific active substances to a precise site of action in order to produce a desired pharmacological effect. In the present study nanocapsules were obtained by a process of interfacial condensation between chitosan (dissolved in the aqueous phase) and poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone-alt-itaconic anhydride), a highly reactive copolymer capable of easily opening the anhydride ring under the action of amine groups of chitosan. The formed amide bonds led to the formation of a hydrogel membrane. The morphology of the obtained nanocapsules, their behavior in aqueous solution of physiological pH, and their ability to encapsulate and release a model drug can be modulated by the parameters of the synthesis process, such as the molar ratio between functional groups of polymers and the ratio of the phases in which the polymers are solubilized. Although a priori both polymers are biocompatible, this paper reports the results of a very detailed in vivo study conducted on experimental animals which have received the obtained nanocapsules by three administration routes—intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, and oral. The organs taken from the animals’ kidney, liver, spleen, and lung and analyzed histologically demonstrated the ability of nanocapsules to stimulate the monocytic macrophage system without producing inflammatory changes. Moreover, their in vivo behavior has been shown to depend not only on the route of administration but also on the interaction with the cells of the organs with which they come into contact. The results clearly argue the biocompatibility of nanocapsules and hence the possibility of their safe use in biomedical applications.

Oral immunization with recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum expressing Nudix hydrolase and 43 kDa proteins confers protection against Trichinella spiralis in BALB/c mice. Acta Trop 2021; 220:105947. [PMID: 33971160 DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2021.105947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Trichinellosis is a significant food-borne zoonotic parasitic disease caused by parasite Trichinella. Given the side effects of anti-Trichinella drugs (e.g., Mebendazole) aroused in the course of treatments, an effective vaccine against the parasite is called for. The therapies available to date are in most instances targeting a single stage of Trichinella, resulting in an incomplete protective immunity against the parasite in terms of the complexity of its developmental stages. In this study, a recombinant dual-expression double anchor vector NC8-pLp-TsNd-S-pgsA'-gp43 was constructed carrying two antigen genes from Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis), encoding the gp43 and T. spiralis Nudix hydrolase (TsNd) proteins which were mainly expressed in muscle larva (ML) and intestinal infective larva stages of the parasite respectively. These two proteins were to be expressed by Lactobacillus plantarum NC8 (L. plantarum NC8) which was designed to express the two anchored peptides, a truncated poly-γ-glutamic acid synthetase A (pgsA') and the surface layer protein of Lactobacillus acidophilus (SlpA), on its surface for attaching expressed foreign proteins. Oral immunization with the above recombinant vaccine induced higher levels of specific serum IgG and mucosal secretory IgA (SIgA) in BALB/c mice. In addition, cytokines, interferon-γ (IFN- γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-17 released by lymphocytes, and CD4+ levels displayed on the surfaces of splenic and mesenteric lymph cells were significantly enhanced by the vaccination. Moreover, after larval challenges, a 75.67 % reduction of adult worms (AW) at 7 days post-infection (dpi) and 57.14 % reduction of ML at 42 dpi were observed in mice immunized with the recombinant vaccine. Furthermore, this oral vaccination reduced the counts of encysted larvae presented in tongue and masseter muscles after infected with T. spiralis in mice. The overall results demonstrated that the recombinant vaccine developed in this study could induce specific humoral, mucosal, and cellular immune responses, and provides protections against different stages (adult worms and muscle larva) of T. spiralis infections in BALB/c mice, which could make it a promising oral vaccine candidate against trichinellosis.
