Abstract
The oral formulation design for colon-specific drug delivery brings some therapeutic benefits in the ulcerative colitis treatment. We recently reported the specific delivery of hemoglobin nanoparticles-conjugating 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA-HbNPs) to the inflamed site. In the current study, the therapeutic effect of the 5-ASA-HbNPs formulation was confirmed in vivo. This evaluation of 5-ASA-HbNPs not only shows longer colonic retention time due to adhesive properties, also provides full support for it as compared with free 5-ASA. It was considered as a suitable bio-adhesive nanoparticle with mucoadhesive property to pass through the mucus layer and accumulate into the mucosa. In UC model mice, a two-fold decrease in the disease activity indexes and colon weight/length ratios was significantly observed in the group treated with 5-ASA-HbNPs. This group received one percent of the standard dosage of 5-ASA (50 μg/kg), while, a similar result was observed for a significant amount of free 5-ASA (5 mg/kg). Furthermore, microscopic images of histological sections of the extracted colons demonstrated that the 5-ASA-HbNPs and 5-ASA groups displayed instances of inflammatory damage within the colon. However, in comparison to the colitis group, the extent of this damage was relatively moderate, suggesting 5-ASA-HbNPs improved therapeutic efficacy with the lower dosage form.

Abstract
Axonal damage is the main characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. This research was focused on remodeling cell morphology and developing a semi-tissue nanoenvironment via mechanobiological stimuli. The combination of nanogroove topography and polyaniline-chitosan enabled the manipulation of the cells by changing the morphology of PC12 cells to spindle shape and inducing the early stage of signal transduction, which is vital for differentiation. The nanosubstarte embedded with nanogooves induced PC12 cells to elongate their morphology and increase their size by 51% as compared with controls. In addition, the use of an electroconductive nanocomposite alongside nanogrooves resulted in the differentiation of PC12 cells into neurons with an average length of 193 ± 7 μm for each axon and an average number of seven axons for each neurite. Our results represent a combined tool to initiate a promising future for cell reprogramming by inducing cell differentiation and specific cellular morphology in many cases, including neurodegenerative diseases.

Hemoglobin bio-adhesive nanoparticles as a colon-specific delivery system for sustained release of 5-aminosalicylic acid in the effective treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
A colonic drug delivery system was developed to specifically deliver 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) to the inflamed site by conjugating with hemoglobin nanoparticles (HbNPs). The 5-ASA-HbNPs (eight 5-ASA molecules per Hb molecule) with the size of 220 nm and zeta potential of -14.6 mV is a tailored nanoparticle able to pass through the mucus layer. The 5-ASA-HbNPs do not undergo chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis in the simulated gastrointestinal fluids over 6 h. Significantly higher cellular uptakes and prolonged release was seen for the 5-ASA-HbNPs in Caco-2 cells, compared to free 5-ASA over 72 h. In addition, 5-ASA-HbNPs revealed similar therapeutic effectiveness with free 5-ASA against tumor necrosis factor and showed less inhibitory concentration (IC50) for myeloperoxidase enzyme activity. In vivo imaging of mouse demonstrated the localization of drug in the descending colon after oral administration and about 15% of the administered dose was recovered as 5-ASA from urine in 6 h. The use of these nanoparticles with the mucus adhesion properties and permeability to intestinal epithelial cells can be a good candidate with potential application in the colonic drug delivery field.
