Interactions of Self-Assembled Bletilla Striata Polysaccharide Nanoparticles with Bovine Serum Albumin and Biodistribution of Its Docetaxel-Loaded Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: : Amphiphilic copolymers of stearic acid (SA)-modified Bletilla striata polysaccharides (BSPs-SA) with three different degrees of substitution (DSs) were synthesized. The effects of DS values on the properties of BSPs-SA nanoparticles were evaluated. Drug state, cytotoxicity, and histological studies were carried out. The affinity ability of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the BSPs-SA nanoparticles was also characterized utilizing ultraviolet and fluorescence spectroscopy. Besides, the bioavailability and tissue distribution of docetaxel (DTX)-loaded BSPs-SA nanoparticles were also assessed. The results demonstrated that the DS increase of the hydrophobic stearic acid segment increased the negative charge, encapsulation efficiency, and drug-loading capacity while decreasing the critical aggregation concentration value as well as the release rate of docetaxel from the nanoparticles. Docetaxel was encapsulated in nanoparticles at the small molecules or had an amorphous status. The inhibitory capability of DTX-loaded BSPs-SA nanoparticles against 4T1 tumor cells was superior to that of Duopafei®. The ultraviolet and fluorescence results exhibited a strong binding affinity between BSPs-SA nanoparticles and bovine serum albumin, but the conformation of bovine serum albumin was not altered. Additionally, the area under the concentration?time curve (AUC???) of DTX-loaded BSPs-SA nanoparticles was about 1.42-fold higher compared with Duopafei® in tumor-bearing mice. Docetaxel levels of DTX-loaded BSPs-SA nanoparticles in some organs changed, and more docetaxel accumulated in the liver, spleen, and the tumor compared with Duopafei®. The experimental results provided a theoretical guidance for further applications of BSPs-SA conjugates as nanocarriers for delivering anticancer drugs.

Project description:The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) on wound healing in diabetes mellitus (DM) and to explore the underlying mechanisms. DM mouse models were induced by high fat-diet feeding combined with low-dose streptozocin injection. To establish diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) models, DM mice were wounded on the dorsal surface. Subsequently, mice were treated with vehicle or BSP for 12 days and wound healing was monitored. The effects of BSP on the production of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α, macrophages infiltration, angiogenesis, the activation of nucleotide-binding and oligomerization (NACHT) domain, leucine-rich repeat (LRR), and pyrin domain (PYD)-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, and insulin sensitivity in wound tissues were subsequently evaluated. Separated- and cultured- bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs) were isolated from mice and used to investigate the effects of BSP on cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, NLRP3 inflammasome activation and insulin sensitivity in vitro following exposure to high glucose (HG). BSP administration accelerated diabetic wound healing, suppressed macrophage infiltration, promoted angiogenesis, suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation, decreased IL-1β secretion, and improved insulin sensitivity in wound tissues in DM mice. In vitro, co-treatment with BSP protected against HG-induced ROS generation, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and IL-1β secretion in BMDMs, and improved cell viability and decreased ROS levels in CMECs. Moreover, in HG exposed BMDMs-CMECs cultures, BSP treatment suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β secretion in BMDMs, and improved cell viability and insulin sensitivity in CMECs. Furthermore, treatment with IL-1β almost completely suppressed the beneficial effects of BSP on the NLRP3 inflammasome, IL-1β secretion, and insulin sensitivity in HG-treated BMDMs-CMECs. BSP promotes DFU healing through inhibition of the HG-activated NLRP3 inflammasome.
