To address the need for topical therapies with enhanced skin penetration and retention for infantile atopic dermatitis (AD), we screened esculetin (Esc), an active monomer from traditional Chinese medicine, in a cellular AD model. Esc demonstrated pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. Subsequently, a self-assembled nanogel delivery system, Esc@(HAP/PSI)-gel, was engineered using hydroxyapatite (HAP) and polysuccinimide (PSI) for sustained release. The optimized nanoparticles were spherical (Average diameter: 156 nm, zeta potential: −15.7 mV) with pH-responsive drug release. Compared with Esc-gel, Esc@(HAP/PSI)-gel significantly enhanced skin permeation and drug retention without inducing irritation. In AD mice, Esc@(HAP/PSI)-gel alleviated skin lesions, reduced ear swelling, lowered the spleen index, attenuated epidermal/dermal thickening, suppressed inflammatory cell infiltration, and modulated key cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IgE) more effectively than Esc-gel. Hence, the HAP/PSI-based nanogel delivery system enables the efficient and sustained delivery of Esc, enhances transdermal absorption, and demonstrates considerable therapeutic potential for AD.
To mitigate the dose-limiting toxicity of gemcitabine (GEM) in lung cancer therapy, we developed a targeted hyaluronic acid (HA)-based nanoplatform with sustained drug-release capabilities-GEM@HA-(HAP/PSI). The system consisted of a hydroxyapatite/polysuccinimide (HAP/PSI) composite core for efficient drug loading, with surface-conjugated HA serving as a CD44-targeting ligand. Following systematic optimization using response surface methodology, the resulting spherical nanoparticles (∼100-200 nm) exhibited pH-responsive drug release, good biocompatibility, and negligible hemolytic activity. In vitro studies using CD44-high A549 and CD44-low H358 cells confirmed that CD44-mediated active endocytosis was the predominant uptake pathway for the nanoplatform. Treatment with the optimized formulation (GEM@HA-(HAP/PSI)10) led to significantly greater cytotoxicity, inhibition of cell migration and colony formation, and apoptosis induction than treatment with a non-targeted control formulation. Importantly, in A549 xenograft mouse models, GEM@HA-(HAP/PSI)10 achieved superior tumor growth suppression relative to free GEM while also maintaining a favorable safety profile. Collectively, these findings indicate that the HA-targeted nanoplatform developed in this study enhances the precision and therapeutic efficacy of GEM delivery and holds promise for reducing its systemic toxicity.
To mitigate the adverse effects of doxorubicin (DOX) during the treatment of liver cancer, this study aimed to develop a novel DOX-encapsulated active-targeted nanodelivery system. The auxiliary materials hydroxyapatite (HAP), polysuccinimide (PSI), galactose-modified polyethylene glycol (Gal-PEG), PSI covalently linked with three different mole ratios of polyethylene glycol (PEG-PSIs), and galactose covalently linked with PEG-PSIs (Gal-PSIs) were synthesized and structurally characterized. The Box-Behnken and Three-Level Factorial Design response surface methodologies were employed to optimize the formulations and synthesis protocols for DOX@HAP/PSI (DOX@DC, where DC denotes the drug carrier), DOX@PEG-DCs, and DOX@Gal-DCs. The in vitro drug release and in vivo tissue distribution of each formulation were examined. Furthermore, in vitro studies were conducted to examine the effects of these formulations on the proliferation, apoptosis, and migration of Huh-7 liver cancer cells. The formulations and synthesis protocols for different DOX-based preparations were optimized. All nanoparticles gradually released DOX at pH levels >5, with the release rate increasing with the pH value. Among the tested formulations, DOX@Gal-DC20 (mole ratio of Gal-PEG to PSI = 1:20) showed the best hepatic targeting in mice in vivo. Furthermore, in vitro pharmacodynamic experiments indicated that Gal-DC20 had low cytotoxicity, could be taken up by cancer cells, and could significantly inhibit the proliferation of Huh-7 cells. Hemolysis experiments confirmed that none of the prepared formulations induced hemolysis. The novel nanodelivery system established in the study (DOX@Gal-DC) is simple to prepare and shows significant hepatic targeting.
Gene therapy offers an ideal potential treatment strategy for osteoarthritis (OA). However, the safe and efficient delivery of therapeutic genes remains highly challenging because of the inactivation in direct delivery of miRNA, low transfection efficiency, and a short half-life. This study introduced a gene therapy strategy using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a gene delivery platform and achieved the sustained delivery of therapeutic genes via engineered MSCs-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). The miRNA-874-3p is combined with an exosome-targeting motif and transfected into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The BMSCsmotif+miR874 are then seeded onto hydrogel microspheres, creating the BMSCmotif+miR874/MS system for OA treatment. In vitro experiments demonstrated that miRNA-874-3p not only alleviated inflammation and oxidative stress-induced damage to chondrocytes by downregulating the NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby rejuvenating chondrocytes, but also promoted chondrogenesis in the inflammatory microenvironment. Furthermore, the engineered BMSCs in the system demonstrated prolonged retention in vivo, thereby enabling the sustained delivery of the therapeutic gene, miRNA-874-3p, over an extended duration. In the rat OA model, BMSCmotif+miR874/MS successfully delivered miRNA-874-3p to the articular cartilage and effectively alleviated cartilage degeneration. In conclusion, this EVs-mediated therapeutic gene delivery approach enables miRNA-based gene therapy a viable alternative to surgery for OA treatment and provides a novel option for gene therapy.

In this study, a nano drug delivery system for sustained release (PSI-HAP) with spherical or near-spherical particles and a negative zeta potential was established. PSI-HAP was prepared using polysuccinimide (PSI) as the coating material and hydroxyapatite (HAP) as the drug adsorption core. By simply mixing PSI and HAP in solution, uniformly size non-agglomerated nanoparticles could be generated rapidly via a facile preparation process. Herein, HAP was prepared using the micro-emulsion method (MEM), liquid phase reaction (LPR), precipitation method (PM), or hydrothermal method (HM). The effects of the HAP preparation process on PSI-HAP were investigated. The optimal formulations and preparation processes of PSI-HAP were determined using single-factor experiments and the Box-Behnken design (BBD) response surface method with different model drugs. Additionally, the drug-loading and release features of PSI-HAP preparations were measured, and the distribution of SCE-PSI-HAP (Schisandra chinensis extract, SCE) in vivo was determined. The in vitro drug release test showed that PSI-HAPs were pH-sensitive, showing complete drug release around pH 7. Meanwhile, in vivo experiment demonstrated that in animals, the retention time was significantly longer in the SCE-PSI-HAP preparation group than in the saline group, irrespective of whether the formulation was administered orally or injected. The findings showed that the proposed drug delivery system is easy to prepare and sterilize, making large-scale production feasible, which could be used clinically for multi-modal drug delivery. In this study, a nano drug delivery system for sustained release (PSI-HAP) with spherical or near-spherical particles and a negative zeta potential was established.

Tanshinol (Tan) has good therapeutic effects on osteoporosis, fracture, and bone trauma repair. However, it is easily oxidised, has low bioavailability and a short half-life. To solve these problems, the study aimed to develop a novel bone-targeted nano-sustained-release drug delivery system PSI-HAPs for the systemic administration of Tan. This proposed system has hydroxyapatite (HAP) as the core to load drug and polysuccinimide (PSI), PEG-PSI (Polyethylene glycol, PEG), and ALN-PEG-PSI (Alendronate sodium, ALN) as the coating materials to form nanoparticles. The article examines the various PSI-HAPs' entrapping efficiency (EE, %), drug loading capacity (DLC, %), and distribution to determine the best PSI-HAP formulation in vivo. The in vivo experiment showed that the ALN-PEG-PSI-HAP (ALN-PEG/PSI molar ratio = 1:20) was the best preparation due to its higher distribution on bone (120 h) and lower distribution in the other tissues. The determined preparation was a uniformly spherical or sphere-like nanoparticle with a negative zeta potential. Additionally, it exhibited pH-sensitive drug release in PBS based on an in vitro drug release test. The proposed PSI-HAP preparations were prepared in the water solution using a facile preparation process without ultrasound, heating, and other conditions, which can significantly affect the stability of drugs.

Lung cancer seriously threatens the health of human beings, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for 80%. Nowadays, the potential position of nano-delivery in treating cancer has been the subject of continuous research. The present research aimed to prepare two molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified kaempferol (KA)-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (HA-KA-NLCs) by the method of melting ultrasonic and electrostatic adsorption, and to assess the antitumor effect of the preparations on A549 cells. The characterization and safety evaluation of the preparations illustrated that they are acceptable for drug delivery for cancer. Subsequently, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curve and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images indicated that the drug was adequately incorporated in the carrier, and the particle appeared as a sphere. Moreover, HA-KA-NLC showed predominant in vitro antitumor effects, inhibiting proliferation, migration, and invasion, promoting apoptosis and increasing cellular uptake of A549 cells. Otherwise, the Western blot assay revealed that preparations could activate epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related signaling pathways and modulate the expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin in A549 cells. Our present findings demonstrated that HA-KA-NLC could be considered as a secure and effective carrier for targeted tumor delivery and may have potential application prospects in future clinic therapy of NSCLC.
