Drug delivery under cover of erythrocytes extends drug half-life: A thrombolytic targeting therapy utilizing microenvironment-responsive artificial polysaccharide microvesicles. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 343:122505. [PMID: 39174110 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122505] [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: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
The development of thrombolytic drug carriers capable of thrombus-targeting, prolonged circulation time, intelligent responsive release, and the ability to inhibit thrombotic recurrences remains a promising but significant challenge. To tackle this, an artificial polysaccharide microvesicle drug delivery system (uPA-CS/HS@RGD-ODE) was constructed. It is composed of cationic chitosan and anionic heparin assembled in a layer by layer structure, followed by surface modification using RGD peptide and 2-(N-oxide-N,N-diethylamino) ethylmethacrylate (ODE) before encapsulation of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA). The effect of chitosan on the basic performances of uPA-CS/HS@RGD-ODE was estimated. The in vitro results suggest the uPA carrier, CS/HS@RGD-ODE, displayed outstanding targeting specific to activated platelets (61 %) and microenvironment-responsiveness at pH 6.5, facilitating thrombus-targeting and a controlled drug release, respectively. Most importantly, in vivo experiment suggests ODE from uPA-CS/HS@RGD-ODE substantially extends the half-life of uPA (120 min), as uPA-CS/HS@RGD-ODE can adhere onto erythrocytes and deliver uPA under cover of erythrocytes enabling a prolonged circulation time in the bloodstream. Further tail vein and abdominal aorta thrombosis models confirmed uPA-CS/HS@RGD-ODE exhibited superior targeting and thrombolysis capabilities compared to systemic administration of free uPA. To the knowledge of authors, this may be the first study to develop new drug carriers for delivery of thrombolytic drugs under the cover of erythrocytes for extended drug half-lives.

Abstract
The aim of the study is to explore the myriad of anti-activities of chitosan - deacylated derivative of chitin in biomedical applications. Chitosan consists of reactive residual amino groups, which can be modified chemically to obtain wide range of derivatives. These derivatives exhibit the controlled physicochemical characteristics, which in turn improve its functional properties. Such derivatives find numerous applications in the field of biomedical science, agriculture, tissue engineering, bone regeneration and environmental science. This study presents a comprehensive overview of the multifarious anti-activities of chitosan and its derivatives in the field of biomedical science including anti-microbial, antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-HIV, anti-fungal, anti- inflammatory, anti-Alzheimer's, anti-hypertensive and anti-diabetic activity. It briefly details these anti-activities with respect to its mode of action, pharmacological effects and potential applications. It also presents the overview of current research exploring novel derivatives of chitosan and its anti- activities in the recent past. Finally, the review projects the prospective potential of chitosan and its derivatives and expects to encourage the readers to develop new drug delivery systems based on such chitosan derivatives and explore its applications in biomedical science for benefit of mankind.

Osteoblast and bacterial cell response on RGD peptide-functionalized chitosan coatings electrophoretically deposited from different suspensions on Ti13Nb13Zr alloy. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2023; 111:1800-1812.

Abstract
Metallic materials for long-term load-bearing implants still do not provide high antimicrobial activity while maintaining strong compatibility with bone cells. This study aimed to modify the surface of Ti13Nb13Zr alloy by electrophoretic deposition of a chitosan coating with a covalently attached Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide. The suspensions for coating deposition were prepared in two different ways either using hydroxyacetic acid or a carbon dioxide saturation process. The coatings were deposited using a voltage of 10 V for 1 min. The prepared coatings were examined using SEM, EDS, FTIR, and XPS techniques. In addition, the wettability of these surfaces, corrosion resistance, adhesion of the coatings to the metallic substrate, and their antimicrobial activity (E. coli, S. aureus) and cytocompatibility properties using the MTT and LDH assays were studied. The coatings produced tightly covered the metallic substrate. Spectroscopic studies confirmed that the peptide did not detach from the chitosan chain during electrophoretic deposition. All tested samples showed high corrosion resistance (corrosion current density measured in nA/cm2 ). The deposited coatings contributed to a significant increase in the antimicrobial activity of the samples against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (reduction in bacterial counts from 99% to, for CS-RGD-Acid and the S. aureus strain, total killing capacity). MTT and LDH results showed high compatibility with bone cells of the modified surfaces compared to the bare substrate (survival rates above 75% under indirect contact conditions and above 100% under direct contact conditions). However, the adhesion of the coatings was considered weak.

Abstract
The rise of obesity and associated fatal diseases has taken a massive toll worldwide. Despite the existing pharmaceuticals and bariatric surgeries, these approaches manifest limited efficacy or accompany various side effects. Therefore, researchers seek to facilitate the prolonged and specific delivery of therapeutics. Or else, to mimic the essential part of "gastric bypass" by physically blocking excessive absorption via less invasive methods. To achieve these goals, polymeric biomaterials have gained tremendous interest recently. They are known for synthesizing hydrogels, microneedle patches, mucoadhesive coatings, polymer conjugates, and so forth. In this Review, we provide insights into the current studies of polymeric biomaterials in the prevention and treatment of obesity, inspiring future improvements in this regime of study.

Use of Chitosan from Southern King Crab to Develop Films Functionalized with RGD Peptides for Potential Tissue Engineering Applications. Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:323. [PMID: 37504211 PMCID: PMC10807027 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics8030323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Southern King Crab (SKC) represents an important fishery resource that has the potential to be a natural source of chitosan (CS) production. In tissue engineering, CS is very useful to generate biomaterials. However, CS has a lack of signaling molecules that facilitate cell-substrate interaction. Therefore, RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) peptides corresponding to the main integrin recognition site in extracellular matrix proteins have been used to improve the CS surface. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro cell adhesion and proliferation of CS films synthesized from SKC shell wastes functionalized with RGD peptides. The FTIR spectrum of CS isolated from SKC shells (SKC-CS) was comparable to commercial CS. Thermal properties of films showed similar endothermic peaks at 53.4 and 53.0 °C in commercial CS and SKC-CS, respectively. The purification and molecular masses of the synthesized RGD peptides were confirmed using HPLC and ESI-MS mass spectrometry, respectively. Mouse embryonic fibroblast cells showed higher adhesion on SKC-CS (1% w/v) film when it was functionalized with linear RGD peptides. In contrast, a cyclic RGD peptide showed similar adhesion to control peptide (RDG), but the highest cell proliferation was after 48 h of culture. This study shows that functionalization of SKC-CS films with linear or cyclic RGD peptides are useful to improve effects on cell adhesion or cell proliferation. Furthermore, our work contributes to knowledge of a new source of CS to synthesize constructs for tissue engineering applications.
