AbstractNanoparticles consisting of different biocompatible materials are attracting a lot of interest in the biomedical area as useful tools for drug delivery, photo-therapy and contrast enhancement agents in MRI, fluorescence and confocal microscopy. This work mainly focuses on the synthesis of polymeric/inorganic multifunctional nanoparticles (PIMN) based on biocompatible di-block copolymer poly(L,L-lactide-co-ethylene glycol) (PLLA-PEG) via an emulsion-evaporation method. Besides containing a hydrophobic drug (Indomethacin), these polymeric nanoparticles incorporate different visualization agents such as superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) and fluorescent Quantum Dots (QDs) that are used as contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and fluorescence microscopy together. Gold Nanorods are also incorporated in such nanostructures to allow simultaneous visualization and photodynamic therapy. MRI studies are performed with different loading of SPION into PIMN, showing an enhancement in T2 contrast superior to commercial contrast agents. Core-shell QDs absorption and emission spectra are recorded before and after their loading into PIMN. With these polymeric/inorganic multifunctional nanoparticles, both MRI visualization and confocal fluorescence microscopy studies can be performed. Gold nanorods are also synthesized and incorporated into PIMN without changing their longitudinal absorption peak usable for lased excitation and phototherapy. In-vitro cytotoxicity studies have also been performed to confirm the low cytotoxicity of PIMN for further in-vivo studies.

AbstractTargeted drug delivery to the glioblastoma (GBM) overcoming blood–brain barrier (BBB) has been challenging. Exosomes are promising vehicles for brain tumor drug delivery, but the production and purification hinder its application for nanomedicine. Besides, the formation of protein corona (PC) may affect the behaviour of nanocarriers. Here, multifunctional exosomes-mimetics (EM) are developed and decorated with angiopep-2 (Ang) for enhancing GBM drug delivery by manipulating PC. Docetaxel (DTX)-loaded EM with Ang modification (DTX@Ang-EM) show less absorption of serum proteins and phagocytosis by macrophages. Ang-EM show enhanced BBB penetration ability and targeting ability to the GBM. Ang-EM-mediated delivery increase the concentration of DTX in the tumor area. The multifunctional DTX@Ang-EM exhibits significant inhibition effects on orthotopic GBM growth with reduced side effects of the chemotherapeutic. Findings from this study indicate that the developed DTX@Ang-EM provide a new strategy for targeted brain drug delivery and GBM therapy. Graphical abstract

<div>Intra-articular drug delivery strategies aiming to deliver drugs in diseases affected by cartilage-related issues are using electrostatic interactions to penetrate the dense cartilage matrix. This enables delivery of sufficient drug concentrations to the chondrocytes to mediate the desired therapeutic effect. As it is well known that size and charge of nanoparticles affects its interactions with the surrounding biological fluids, where proteins adsorb to the NP surface, resulting in a protein corona. There are, however, no studies investigating how the formed protein coronas affect cartilage uptake and subsequent cellular uptake, nor how they affect other cells present in the synovium of such diseases. Here, we explore the differences between the protein coronas that form when NP are incubated in synovial fluid from osteoarthritic and rheumatoid arthritis patients and compare this to results obtained using fetal calf serum (FCS), as guide for researchers working on joint drug delivery. We demonstrate that the protein corona indeed affects the uptake into cartilage, where there are major differences between the model proteins in fetal calf serum, as compared to synovial fluid from rheumatoid arthritis patients as well as osteoarthritis patients. The data suggests that when developing drug delivery vehicles for joint diseases that leverages electrostatic interactions and size, the interactions with proteins in the biological milieu is highly relevant to consider.</div>
