Chitosan modified 5-fluorouracil nanostructured lipid carriers for treatment of diabetic retinopathy in rats: A new dimension to an anticancer drug

Deep Shikha Sharma, Sheetu Wadhwa, Monica Gulati, Bimlesh Kumar, Nitin Chitranshi, Vivek Kumar Gupta, Mohammed Alrouji, Sharif Alhajlah, Othman AlOmeir, Sukriti Vishwas, Rubiya Khursheed, Sumant Saini, Ankit Kumar, Shaik Rahana Parveen, Gaurav Gupta, Flavia Zacconi, Dinesh Kumar Chellappan, Andrew Morris, Raimar Loebenberg, Kamal Dua, Sachin Kumar Singh

Summary: Diabetic retinopathy is a chronic complication of diabetes characterized by damage to retinal blood vessels and potential loss of vision. Current treatment strategies are expensive, invasive, and require specialized administration. This study explores the development of a non-invasive topical formulation that can penetrate deep into the retina, treat damaged vessels, and provide sustained release. Novel drug delivery systems have shown success in treating diabetic retinopathy, and in this study, chitosan modified 5-Fluorouracil Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (CS-5-FU-NLCs) were prepared and optimized.

Summary: This study summarizes the research on the use of vitamin D for COVID-19 treatment and prevention. Vitamin D supplementation is considered an effective option to enhance immune response and prevent the spread of infection. Vitamin D acts as an immunomodulator, treating infected lung tissue by improving immune response and suppressing inflammatory reactions.

Development of 3D-Bioprinted Colitis-Mimicking Model to Assess Epithelial Barrier Function Using Albumin Nano-Encapsulated Anti-Inflammatory Drugs

Abdulmajeed G. Almutary, Abdullah M. Alnuqaydan, Saleh A. Almatroodi, Hamid A. Bakshi, Dinesh Kumar Chellappan, Murtaza M. Tambuwala

Summary: Physiological barrier function is difficult to replicate in vitro, but a colitis-like condition model generated through 3D bioprinting can evaluate the barrier function of nanoencapsulated anti-inflammatory drugs. Histological characterization confirmed the presence of the disease in the 3D-bioprinted constructs, and a comparison of proliferation rates in 2D monolayer and 3D-bioprinted models was conducted. This model can be implemented as an effective tool for predicting drug efficacy and toxicity in the drug development process.

Extracellular Vesicles Released from Cancer Cells Promote Tumorigenesis by Inducing Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition via β-Catenin Signaling

Vamshikrishna Malyla, Keshav Raj Paudel, Gabriele De Rubis, Nicole G. Hansbro, Philip M. Hansbro, Kamal Dua

Summary: Lung cancer is a major global cause of cancer-related deaths due to a lack of early diagnostics and effective treatments. In a study, EVs derived from A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells were transferred to healthy human bronchial epithelial cells. It was found that the EVs carry oncogenic proteins involved in promoting tumor growth and invasion through the EMT pathway regulated by beta-catenin. This study suggests that cancer-cell-derived EVs can induce tumorigenesis in neighboring healthy cells.

Tackling the cytokine storm using advanced drug delivery in allergic airway disease

Oliver, Ronan MacLoughlin, Sachin Kumar Singh, Kamal Dua

Summary: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease that presents a huge burden worldwide. Overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines triggers an uncontrolled inflammatory response known as 'cytokine storm', leading to disease progression and fatal consequences. Targeting cytokine overproduction and signaling may provide a promising approach for asthma treatment. This review discusses pharmacological strategies, drug delivery systems, and clinical trial findings that may overcome the limitations of current therapies.

Summary: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and current treatment options are limited. Inhibition of NF kappa B, a master regulator of NSCLC, shows promise as an innovative therapeutic strategy. This study demonstrates the encapsulation of a hydrophilic NF kappa B decoy ODN into a dextran-based nanoparticle system, which effectively inhibits NF kappa B activity and exhibits promising anticancer activity against NSCLC.

Summary: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major contributor to illness and death worldwide. While COPD patients appear to be at higher risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes, it is still uncertain if they are more susceptible to acquiring SARS-CoV-2 infection. This comprehensive review examines the relationship between COPD and COVID-19, exploring the evidence on susceptibility to infection and disease severity. The review also considers factors such as smoking, corticosteroid use, socioeconomic factors, and genetics that may influence this association. The importance of managing COPD patients during the pandemic to minimize the risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes is highlighted.

Summary: Focused bis-pyridinium based-ionic liquids were synthesized and characterized using NMR-spectroscopic techniques. Compound 5 exhibited higher antiparasitic activity against Toxoplasma gondii compared to other compounds, showing potential as a replacement for the known drug pyrimethamine. Histopathological study also demonstrated the effectiveness of compound 5 on various tissues with better histological features compared to pyrimethamine treated group, suggesting a promising antiparasitic profile and fewer side effects.

Johansen, Alen Faiz, Peter A. Wark, Philip M. Hansbro, Ian M. Adcock, Gaetano Caramori, Cristiana Stellato

Summary: AU-rich-element factor-1 (AUF-1), an RNA-binding protein, is involved in posttranscriptional regulation of genes related to inflammation and cellular senescence, both of which are pathogenic mechanisms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Decreased expression of AUF-1 is observed in bronchiolar epithelium of COPD patients and in human airway epithelial cells exposed to cytokines and cigarette smoke. This study identifies AUF-1-targeted transcripts and demonstrates its association with inflammation and senescence-related pathways in COPD.
