A novel artificial nerve graft for repairing longdistance sciatic nerve defects:a self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold-containing poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) conduit

In this study, we developed a novel artificial nerve graft termed self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold （SAPNS）-containing poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） （PLGA） conduit （SPC） and used it to bridge a 10-mm-long sciatic nerve defect in the rat. Retrograde tracing, behavioral testing and histomorphometric analyses showed that compared with the empty PLGA conduit implantation group, the SPC implantation group had a larger number of growing and extending axons, a markedly increased diameter of regenerated axons and a greater thickness of the myelin sheath in the conduit. Furthermore, there was an increase in the size of the neuromuscular junction and myofiber diameter in the target muscle. These findings suggest that the novel artificial SPC nerve graft can promote axonal regeneration and remyelination in the transected peripheral nerve and can be used for repairing peripheral nerve injury.

Evaluation of in vitro and in vivo immunostimulatory activities of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles loaded with soluble and autoclaved Leishmania infantum antigens: A novel vaccine candidate against visceral leishmaniasis

Objective: To prepare and characterize poly lactic-co-glycolic acid(PLGA) nanoparticles loaded with soluble leishmanial antigen or autoclaved leishmanial antigen and explore in vitro and in vivo immunogenicity of antigen encapsulated nanoparticles. Methods: Water/oil/water double emulsion technique was employed to synthesize PLGA nanoparticles, and scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Zeta-potential measurements were used to identify the characteristics of nanoparticles. Cytotoxicity of synthetized nanoparticles on J774 macrophage were investigated by MTT assays. To determine the in vitro immunostimulatory efficacies of nanoparticles, griess reaction and ELISA was used to measure the amounts of NO and cytokines. During the in vivo analysis, Balb/c mice were immunized with vaccine formulations, and protective properties of nanoparticles were measured by Leishman Donovan unit in the liver following the infection. Cytokine levels in spleens of mice were determined by ELISA. Results: MTT assay showed that neither soluble leishmanial antigen nor autoclaved leishmanial antigen encapsulated nanoparticles showed cytotoxicity against J774 macrophage cells. Contrary to free antigens, both autoclaved leishmanial antigen-nanoparticle and soluble leishmanial antigen-nanoparticle formulations led to a 10 and 16-fold increase in NO amounts by macrophages, respectively. Leishman Donovan unit calculations revealed that soluble leishmanial antigen-nanoparticles and autoclaved leishmanial antigen-nanoparticles yielded 52% and 64% protection against visceral leishmaniasis in mouse models. Besides, in vitro and in vivo tests demonstrated that by increasing IFN-γ and IL-12 levels and inhibiting IL-4 and IL-10 secretions, autoclaved leishmanial antigen-nanoparticles and soluble leishmanial antigennanoparticles triggered Th1 immune response. Conclusions: Both autoclaved leishmanial antigen-nanoparticles and soluble leishmanial antigen-nanoparticles formulations provide exceptional in vitro and in vivo immunostimulatory activities. Hence, PLGA-based antigen delivery systems are recommended as potential vaccine candidates against visceral leishmaniasis.

Dorsal root ganglion-derived Schwann cells combined with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/chitosan conduits for the repair of sciatic nerve defects in rats

Schwann cells, nerve regeneration promoters in peripheral nerve tissue engineering, can be used to repair both the peripheral and central nervous systems. However, isolation and puriifcation of Schwann cells are complicated by contamination with ifbroblasts. Current reported measures are mainly limited by either high cost or complicated procedures with low cell yields or purity. In this study, we collected dorsal root ganglia from neonatal rats from which we obtained highly puriifed Schwann cells using serum-free melanocyte culture medium. The purity of Schwann cells （〉95%） using our method was higher than that using standard medium containing fetal bovine serum. The obtained Schwann cells were implanted into poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid）/chi-tosan conduits to repair 10-mm sciatic nerve defects in rats. Results showed that axonal diameter and area were signiifcantly increased and motor functions were obviously improved in the rat sciatic nerve tissue. Experimental ifndings suggest that serum-free melanocyte culture medium is conducive to purify Schwann cells and poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid）/chitosan nerve conduits combined with Schwann cells contribute to restore sciatic nerve defects.

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) conduit for repair of injured sciatic nerve A mechanical analysis

Tensile stress and tensile strain directly affect the quality of nerve regeneration after bridging nerve defects by poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） conduit transplantation and autogenous nerve grafting for sciatic nerve injury. This study collected the sciatic nerve from the gluteus maximus muscle from fresh human cadaver, and established 10-mm-long sciatic nerve injury models by removing the ischium, following which poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） conduits or autogenous nerve grafts were transplanted. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the axon and myelin sheath were torn, and the vessels of basilar membrane were obstructed in the poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） conduit-repaired sciatic nerve following tensile testing. There were no significant differences in tensile tests with autogenous nerve graft-repaired sciatic nerve. Following poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） conduit transplantation for sciatic nerve repair, tensile test results suggest that maximum tensile load, maximum stress, elastic limit load and elastic limit stress increased compared with autogenous nerve grafts, but elastic limit strain and maximum strain decreased. Moreover, the tendencies of stress-strain curves of sciatic nerves were similar after transplantation of poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） conduits or autogenous nerve grafts. Results showed that after transplantation in vitro for sciatic nerve injury, poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） conduits exhibited good intensity, elasticity and plasticity, indicating that poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） conduits are suitable for sciatic nerve injury repair.

Controlled release of cisplatin and cancer cell apoptosis with cisplatin encapsulated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles

The goal of the present study is to utilize cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (cisplatin) loaded polymer nanoparticles (NPs) to give a controlled, extended, and local drug therapy for the treatment of cancer. We have used biodegradable and biocompatible poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) to prepare the NPs by adjusting the double emulsion technique using poly(vinylalcohol) as a surface active agent. The PLGA NPs were characterized for particle size and shape, controlled release of cisplatin, and degradation. Cisplatin solubility in deionized water was increased up to 4 mg/mL by simply changing the solution parameters. Cisplatin encapsulated NPs were incubated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at 37?C to study the release kinetics of cisplatin. Cisplatin was released in a sustained manner with less than 20% release during a 3-day period followed by 50% release during a 21-day period. A degradation study of PLGA NPs demonstrated the loss of spherical shape during a 21-day period. We also examined the cisplatin sensitive A2780 cell apoptosis when cells were incubated with cisplatin encapsulated PLGA NPs. A large number of cell apoptosis occurred as a result of cisplatin release from the PLGA NPs. These results suggest that cisplatin encapsulated PLGA NPs can be used to treat the cancer cells by injecting them into a localized site minimizing the side effects.

In the past decade, various medicated nanofibrous scaffolds have been developed as effective drug delivery systems for postsurgical cancer treatment.In this study, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles( HANPs) were used as carriers to load an anticancer agent—camptothecine( CPT),and the CPT-loaded HANPs( CPT@ HANPs) was then incorporated into poly( lactic-co-glycolic acid)( PLGA) nanofibers via electrospinning.Thus fabricated medicated nanofibrous mats( PLGA / CPT @ HANPs) were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope( FESEM),transmission electron microscope( TEM), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy( ATR-FTIR) and X-ray diffraction( XRD).The release profiles of CPT from the medicated electrospun mats were obtained and their in vitro anticancer efficacy against HeL a cells was also evaluated.The results showed that the CPT was successfully loaded onto the surface of HANPs,and the prepared electrospun mats exhibited a homogeneous and continuous morphology.Furthermore,the loaded CPT exhibited a sustained release behavior from the nanofibrous mats and the released CPT showed a long-term anticancer efficacy against HeL a cells.Therefore,the prepared medicated electrospun mats may be served as an effective drug delivery device for local antitumor treatment.

Effects of poly lactic-co-glycolic acid-Nogo A antibody delayed-release microspheres on regeneration of injured spinal cord in rats

BACKGROUND： Nogo A antigen is the major inhibiting factor blocking regeneration of the injured spinal cord. Neutralizing Nogo A antigens using Nogo A antibodies may help promote neurite regeneration and nervous function recovery. For successful regeneration, sustained release of the antibody from a biodegradable material loaded with Nogo A antibodies to the injury site is required. OBJECTIVE： To compare the therapeutic effects of poly lactic-co-glycolic acid （PLGA）-Nogo A antibody delayed-release microspheres and Nogo A antibody alone on spinal regeneration in Sprague-Dawley rats with complete transverse injury to the spinal cord. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized, controlled animal trial was performed at the Pharmacological Laboratory of West China Center of Medical Sciences, Sichuan University, between October 2007 and January 2008. MATERIALS： Goat anti-rat Nogo A monoclonal antibody was purchased from Santa, American; goat anti-rat neurofilament 200 monoclonal antibody was from Zhongshan Goldenbridge, Beijing, China; PLGA-Nogo A antibody delayed-release microspheres were provided by the College of Pharmacy, Sichuan University. METHODS： A total of 36 adult female Sprague Dawley rats were used to establish models of completely transected spinal cord injury, at T10. Animals were randomly divided into three groups （n=12）： model, Nogo A antibody alone, and Nogo A antibody delayed-release microsphere groups. After transverse injury of the spinal cord, 50 μ L normal saline solution, 50 μL normal saline solution containing 50μL g Nogo A antibody, and 50 μL normal saline solution containing 50 μg Nogo A antibody microspheres were administered to the respective groups at the injury site. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： The expression of Nogo A and neurofilament 200 in injured spinal cord was tested immunohistochemically, and motor function of rats was assessed by Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan （BBB） locomotor rating scale. RESULTS： Four weeks after injury, expression of Nogo A in microsphere group was significantly less than model and Nogo A antibody alone groups （P 〈 0.05）; while there was no significant difference between model and Nogo A antibody alone groups （P 〉 0.05）. Ten weeks after injury, microsphere group showed a significantly greater expression of neurofilament 200 than model and Nogo A antibody alone groups （P 〈 0.05）; while no significant difference was found between model and Nogo A antibody alone groups （P 〉 0.05）. At postoperative weeks 5 and 6, the score of BBB locomotor rating scale in microsphere group was significantly greater than the model group （P 〈 0.05）, and at postoperative weeks 7 10, the score was much greater than model and Nogo A antibody alone groups （P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： Nogo A antibody delayed-release microspheres decreased Nogo A expression, increased neurofilament 200 expression in the injured spinal cord of rats, and promoted recovery of motor function through sustained drug release over a long-term period.

A porous poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) scaffold induces innervation in a rabbit model of disc degeneration following annular injury

BACKGROUND： A degradable poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） （PLGA） scaffold has been used to construct a degradable porous scaffold. This template can simulate the in vivo microenvironment and promote tissue formation. OBJECTIVE： To observe the histopathological changes during degeneration and regeneration of the intervertebral disc, and to analyze the effects of a PLGA scaffold on nerve fiber ingrowth into the lesion in vivo. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized, controlled animal experiment was performed at the Orthopaedic Laboratory, Clinic Medical Research Institution, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University, from December 2007 to July 2008. MATERIALS： PLGA （China Textile Academy）; growth-associated protein-43 （Life-span, USA）; and protein gene product 9.5 antibody （AbD, United Kingdom） were used in this study. METHODS： Three consecutive segments of the intervertebral disc of thirty-two healthy adult male New Zealand rabbits were exposed, comprising L3-4, L4-5 and L5-6. Experimental intervertebral disc （L4-5 and L5-6） models were established by two different methods. In the test （trephine ＋ scaffold） group, a 5-mm deep hole was drilled into the annulus fibrosus using a 3-mm diameter trephine, and the PLGA scaffold was implanted into the hole. In the acupuncture group, the remaining experimental intervertebral disc annulus fibrosus was damaged using a 16G needle at a depth of 5 mm. The L3-4 disc served as a control. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Intervertebral disc degeneration was assessed using radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and histological examination at various time points post-surgery. Nerve fiber ingrowth into the degenerated intervertebral disc was observed using immunohistochemical staining for growth-associated protein-43 and protein gene product 9.5. RESULTS： Compared with the normal controls, the heights of the damaged intervertebral discs were decreased, and T2 signal intensity was decreased in the test and acupuncture groups 2 weeks post-surgery. Intervertebral disc degeneration was faster in the test group than in the acupuncture group. PLGA was coated with newly formed tissue, gradually degraded, and absorbed, and could induce tissue ingrowth deep into the annulus fibrosus. Results of immunohistochemical staining showed that nerve fibers were distributed in newly formed tissue in the test group, and in the superficial layer or surrounding scar tissue in the acupuncture group. CONCLUSION： A porous PLGA scaffold provides an important biological channel to induce nerve fiber ingrowth deep into the degenerated intervertebral disc.

A Study of Surface Modification of Poly(lactic-co-glycolic) Acid Using Argon Ion Irradiation

The effect of Argon ion irradiation to the surface properties of poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) was studied. A beam of 170 keV Argon ions was implanted at different fluencies (1 × 1012, 1 × 1013, 1 × 1014, and 1 × 1015 ions/cm2). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to analyze the evolution of the bonding microstructure of PLGA due to irradiation. Surface morphology was monitored using atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM analysis shows that film roughness increased to maximum at the dose of 1 × 1014 ions/cm2 where the formations of hillocks were also detected. Hydrophilicity of PLGA is important for their applications in biomedicine such as bioscaffolds. Hydrophilicity was monitored using water contact angle measurements for both unmodified and ion-modified PLGA. It was observed that hydrophilicity of PLGA changes with the ion irradiation. This demonstrates that ion irradiation can be an alternative approach to control hydrophilicity of PLGA. PLGA scaffolds modified with ion irradiation could therefore be more suitable for the biomedical applications.

MMAE-loaded PLGA nanomedicine with improved biosafety to achieve efficient antitumor treatment

Monomethyl auristatin E(MMAE)is a derivative of the marine peptide Dolastatin 10,which has therapeutic effects against various cancers according to its antimitotic activity in multiple clinical trials.The antibody drug conjugate(ADC)of MMAE is currently used in clinical practice.However,the safety issues of MMAE-based ADC,such as high drug toxicity and poor bioavailability,still exist when using it for anticancer therapy.A sustained release of drug delivery approach should be used to reduce toxicity and achieve sufficient anticancer effects.Herein,PLGA-b-PEG 2000 with excellent biocompatibility and slow degradation ability was adopted to construct MMAE-loaded nanoparticles for safe and effective chemotherapy.The sustained release effect and the immunogenic cell death(ICD)effect of PLGA-MMAE nanoparticles were assessed by in vitro experiments.The PLGA-MMAE nanoparticles effectively accumulated in the tumor through the enhanced permeability and retention(EPR)effect,inducing cell apoptosis and causing a certain degree of immune response.The sustained drug release of PLGA-MMAE improved the bioavailability and effectively reduced the toxicity and development of the tumor compared to the effect of free MMAE or ADC.Overall,this study provides a safe and effective chemotherapeutic approach,as well as a simple and effective synthetic process for MMAE-based nanoparticles,improving their therapeutic efficacy and safety.

Preparation of poly(lactide-co-glycolide)microspheres and evaluation of pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of BDMC-PLGA-MS in rats

The aim of the present study was to develop a novel long-acting Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)-based microspheres formulation of Bisdemethoxycurcum(BDMC) by emulsionsolvent evaporation method. Meanwhile, the effects of the volume ratio of the dispersed phase and continuous phase, the concentration of PLGA and PVA, the theoretical drug loading and stirring speed were investigated. The mean diameter of the microspheres was 8.5 μm and the size distribution was narrow. The encapsulation efficiency(EE) and drug loading efficiency(DLE) of BDME loaded PLGA microspheres(BDMC-PLGA-MS) was 94.18% and 8.14%,respectively. In an in vitro study of drug release, it can be concluded that the BDMC-PLGAMS exhibited sustained and long-term release properties for 96 h. Stability studies suggested that the microspheres we prepared had a very good stability. Furthermore, the results of an in vivo study indicated that the BDMC-PLGA-MS had sustained release effect and was mainly distributed in the lung tissue, and less distribution in other tissues, which indicated that microspheres could be an effective parenteral carrier for the delivery of BDMC in lung cancer treatment.

Development of a fast and precise method for simultaneous quantification of the PLGA monomers lactic and glycolic acid by HPLC

Poly(lactide-co-glycolide acid)(PLGA) is an extraordinary well-described polymer and has excellent pharmaceutical properties like high biocompatibility and good biodegradability. Hence, it is one of the most used materials for drug delivery and biomedical systems, also being present in several US Food and Drug Administration-approved carrier systems and therapeutic devices. For both applications, the quantification of the polymer is inalienable. During the development of a production process, parameters like yield or loading efficacy are essential to be determined. Although PLGA is a well-defined biomaterial,it still lacks a sensitive and convenient quantification approach for PLGA-based systems. Thus, we present a novel method for the fast and precise quantification of PLGA by RP-HPLC. The polymer is hydrolyzed into its monomers, glycolic acid and lactic acid. Afterwards, the monomers are derivatized with the absorption-enhancing molecule 2,4′-dibromoacetophenone. Furthermore, the wavelength of the derivatized monomers is shifted to higher wavelengths, where the used solvents show a lower absorption,increasing the sensitivity and detectability. The developed method has a detection limit of 0.1 mg/mL,enabling the quantification of low amounts of PLGA. By quantifying both monomers separately, information about the PLGA monomer ratio can be also directly obtained, being relevant for degradation behavior. Compared to existing approaches, like gravimetric or nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, which are tedious or expensive, the developed method is fast, ideal for routine screening, and it is selective since no stabilizer or excipient is interfering. Due to the high sensitivity and rapidity of the method, it is suitable for both laboratory and industrial uses.

Electrospun and woven silk fibroin/poly(lactic-coglycolic acid) nerve guidance conduits for repairing peripheral nerve injury

We have designed a novel nerve guidance conduit（NGC） made from silk fibroin and poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） through electrospinning and weaving（ESP-NGCs）. Several physical and biological properties of the ESP-NGCs were assessed in order to evaluate their biocompatibility. The physical properties, including thickness, tensile stiffness, infrared spectroscopy, porosity, and water absorption were determined in vitro. To assess the biological properties, Schwann cells were cultured in ESP-NGC extracts and were assessed by morphological observation, the MTT assay, and immunohistochemistry. In addition, ESP-NGCs were subcutaneously implanted in the backs of rabbits to evaluate their biocompatibility in vivo. The results showed that ESP-NGCs have high porosity, strong hydrophilicity, and strong tensile stiffness. Schwann cells cultured in the ESP-NGC extract fluids showed no significant differences compared to control cells in their morphology or viability. Histological evaluation of the ESP-NGCs implanted in vivo indicated a mild inflammatory reaction and high biocompatibility. Together, these data suggest that these novel ESP-NGCs are biocompatible, and may thus provide a reliable scaffold for peripheral nerve repair in clinical application.

Synthesis,Characterization and Application of Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)with a Mass Ratio of Lactic to Glycolic Segments of 52/48

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)is one of the most representative degradable copolymers and promising drug carriers.In the current paper,the PLGAs with a lactic acid/glycolic acid(LA/GA)molar ratio of 52/48 and various molecular weights were prepared by a melting method.The molecular weight,molecular weight distribution,and thermal stability were determined by 1H NMR and thermogravimetric analysis methods.The results demonstrated that PLGAs with the fixed LA/GA molar ratio(52/48),different molecular weights,and narrow molecular weight distribution could be obtained by solely altering the reaction time.The PLGA films were prepared,and their properties including micro-structure,mechanical property,in-vitro cytotoxicity,and biodegradability were characterized.In combination with the homogeneous microstructures and mechanical properties,the drug-loading and releasing properties of PLGA3.2 films were investigated.The results show that PLGA3.2 film with an LA/GA molar ratio of 52/48 is a promising curcumin carrier.
