Targeted Delivery of Curcumin to Polyethylene-Induced Osteolysis by Magnetically Guided Zoledronate-Anchored Poly Lactic-Co-Glycolic Acid Nanoparticles via Repressing NF-?B Signaling.

ABSTRACT: Aseptic loosening induced by periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO) is the leading complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and results in patients having to receive revision surgery. However, there is still no efficient drug to prevent or even slow the pathological process. Herein, we report novel dual-targeted, curcumin-loaded Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid nanoparticles (ZSCNPs) to inhibit polyethylene-induced osteolysis. These ZSCNPs have good biocompatibility and excellent bone binding affinity. Under external magnetic field guidance, the ZSCNPs can specifically target osteolytic sites with sustained curcumin release, efficiently suppress the effect of I?B kinase, subsequently inhibit activation of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-?B) signaling pathway, and ultimately prevent osteoclast formation and particle-induced osteolysis. Therefore, these novel dual-targeted, drug-loaded nanoparticles could be applied as a useful strategy for targeted treatment of PPO after TJA.

Project description:Curcumin (CUR), the main polyphenol in turmeric, is poorly absorbed and rapidly metabolized following oral administration, which severely curtails its bioavailability. Poly-(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-based CUR nanoparticles (CUR-NP) have recently been suggested to improve CUR bioavailability, but this has not been fully verified. Specifically, no data are available about curcumin glucuronide (CURG), the major metabolite of CUR found in the plasma following oral administration of CUR-NP. Herein, we investigated the absorption and metabolism of CUR-NP and evaluated whether CUR-NP improves CUR bioavailability.Following oral administration of CUR-NP in rats, we analyzed the plasma and organ distribution of CUR and its metabolites using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. To elucidate the mechanism of increased intestinal absorption of CUR-NP, we prepared mixed micelles comprised of phosphatidylcholine and bile salts and examined the micellar solubility of CUR-NP. Additionally, we investigated the cellular incorporation of the resultant micelles into differentiated Caco-2 human intestinal cells.Following in vivo administration of CUR-NP, CUR was effectively absorbed and present mainly as CURG in the plasma which contained significant amounts of the metabolite compared with other organs. Thus, CUR-NP increased intestinal absorption of CUR rather than decreasing metabolic degradation and conversion to other metabolites. In vitro, CUR encapsulated in CUR-NP was solubilized in mixed micelles; however, whether the micelles contained CUR or CUR-NP had little influence on cellular uptake efficiency. Therefore, we suggest that the high solubilization capacity of CUR-NP in mixed micelles, rather than cellular uptake efficiency, explains the high intestinal absorption of CUR-NP in vivo.These findings provide a better understanding of the bioavailability of CUR and CUR-NP following oral administration. To improve the bioavailability of CUR, future studies should focus on enhancing the resistance to metabolic degradation and conversion of CUR to other metabolites, which may lead to novel discoveries regarding food function and disease prevention.

Project description:The addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains to poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) matrices is extensively used to modulate the biodegradation, drug loading and release, mechanical properties, and chemical stability of the original system. Multiple parameters, including the molecular weight, relative concentration, polarity, and solubility, affect the physicochemical properties of the polymer blend. Here, molecular dynamics simulations with the united-atom 2016H66 force field are used to model the behavior of PLGA and PEG chains and thus predict the overall physicochemical features of the resulting blend. First, the model accuracy is validated against fundamental properties of pure PLGA and PEG samples. In agreement with previous experimental and theoretical observations, the PLGA solubility results to be higher in acetonitrile than in water, with Flory parameters νACN = 0.63 ± 0.01 and νW = 0.21 ± 0.02, and the Young's modulus of PLGA and PEG equal to Y = 2.0 ± 0.43 and 0.32 ± 0.34 GPa, respectively. Next, four PEG/PLGA blending regimes are identified by varying the relative concentrations and molecular weights of the individual polymers. The computational results demonstrate that at low PEG concentrations (<8% w/w), homogeneous blends are generated for both low and high PEG molecular weights. In contrast, at comparable PEG and PLGA concentrations (∼50% w/w), short PEG chains are only partially miscible whereas long PEG chains segregate within the PLGA matrix. This behavior has been confirmed experimentally via differential scanning calorimetry and is in agreement with previous observations. Finally, the computed Young's modulus of PLGA/PEG blends is observed to decrease with the PEG content returning the lowest values for the partial and fully segregated regimens (Y ≈ 1.3 GPa). This work proposes a computational scheme for predicting the physicochemical properties of PLGA/PEG blends paving the way toward the rational design of polymer mixtures for biomedical applications.

Project description:In a recent study, using an in vitro model to study intravaginal nanoparticle exposure during yeast infections, we demonstrated that C. albicans exposure suppressed apoptotic gene expression and induced oxidative stress and pyroptosis in vaginal epithelial cells. The mucous-penetrating drug delivery nanoparticles made from poly-(D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid)-(polyethylene glycol) induced cytotoxicity by activating apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, oxidative stress, and DNA damage repair responses alone and, in some cases with C. albicans. In the current study we evaluated the effects of fluorescently-labelled nanoparticles in CBA/J mice challenged intravaginally for two hours followed by intravaginal challenge with C. albicans for 18 hours. Nanoparticle treatment increased systemic translocation of C. albicans threefold in the heart. C. albicans also increased systemic distribution of the nanoparticles fivefold in the heart. Flow cytometric assays showed co-localization of the nanoparticles with epithelial cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. Nanoparticle-treated, C. albicans-infected mice exhibited induction of autophagy, ER stress, apoptosis, and inflammatory serum cytokines. C. albicans infection was associated with pyroptosis and suppressed expression of ER stress and apoptosis-related genes. Induction of apoptosis during nanoparticle treatment and in nanoparticle-treated-C. albicans infected mice was observed as DNA damage responses, mitochondrial depolarization and (Poly [ADP-Ribose] Polymerase) cleavage. C. albicans infection was associated with increased mRNA expression of anti-apoptotic genes. Both C. albicans infection and nanoparticle treatment showed enhanced chemoattraction of dendritic cells and polymorphonuclear cells to factors in vaginal washings in a chemotaxis assay. This study shows that both intravaginal treatment of mice with the nanoparticles and infection with C. albicans induce cytotoxic and inflammatory responses. C. albicans also suppressed cell apoptosis. These results clarify our understanding of how nanoparticles modulate host cellular responses during C. albicans infection and will be applicable for future research and development of intravaginal nanomedicines.
