The mixing state of components is considered as a crucial factor in determining their suitability. <b>Objectives:</b> The purpose of this study was to elucidate whether thermal analysis of frozen aqueous solutions can appropriately predict the miscibility of hyaluronic acid (HA) and other polymers used for dissolving microneedles prepared by a micromolding method. <b>Methods:</b> Aliquots of aqueous polymer solutions were applied for thermal analysis by heating the samples from -70 °C at 5 °C/min to obtain the transition temperature of amorphous polymers and/or the crystallization/melting peaks of polymers (e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG)).

The combination of HA with several polymers (e.g., dextran FP40, DEAE-dextran, dextran sulfate, and gelatin) showed a single T<sub>g</sub>' transition at temperatures that shifted according to their mass ratio, which strongly suggested the mixing of the freeze-concentrated solutes. By contrast, the observation of two T<sub>g</sub>' transitions in a scan strongly suggested the separation of HA and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or HA and polyacrylic acid (PAA) into different freeze-concentrated phases, each of which was rich in an amorphous polymer. The combination of HA and PEG exhibited the individual physical changes of the polymers. The polymer combinations that showed phase separation in the frozen solution formed opaque films and microneedles upon their preparation by air-drying.

Autologous and allogeneic cell therapy protocols have been clinically implemented for IVD repair. Therein, several manufacturing process design considerations were shown to significantly influence clinical outcomes. The primary objective of this study was to preclinically qualify (chondrogenic potential, safety, resistance to hypoxic and inflammatory stimuli) cryopreserved primary progenitor cells (clinical grade FE002-Disc cells) as a potential cell source in IVD repair/regeneration. The secondary objective of this study was to assess the cell source's delivery potential as cell spheroids (optimization of culture conditions, potential storage solutions). <b>Methods/Results:</b> Safety (soft agar transformation, β-galactosidase, telomerase activity) and functionality-related assays (hypoxic and inflammatory challenge) confirmed that the investigated cellular active substance was highly sustainable in defined cell banking workflows, despite possessing a finite in vitro lifespan. Functionality-related assays confirmed that the retained manufacturing process yielded strong collagen II and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis in the spheroids in 3-week chondrogenic induction. Then, the impacts of various process parameters (induction medium composition, hypoxic incubation, terminal spheroid lyophilization) were studied to gain insights on their criticality. Finally, an optimal set of technical specifications (use of 10 nM dexamethasone for chondrogenic induction, 2% O<sub>2</sub> incubation of spheroids) was set forth, based on specific fine tuning of finished product critical functional attributes. <b>Conclusions:</b> Generally, this study qualified the considered FE002-Disc progenitor cell source for further preclinical investigation based on safety, quality, and functionality datasets. The novelty and significance of this study resided in the establishment of defined processes for preparing fresh, off-the-freezer, or off-the-shelf IVD spheroids using a preclinically qualified allogeneic human cell source.

The detected effects of curcumin on mitochondria are diverse, ranging from protective to toxic. <b>Objectives:</b> In this present work, the influence of curcumin, as well as cinnamic acid, which is a microbial metabolite and a possible product of the microbial breakdown of curcumin, on isolated mitochondria, was investigated. <b>Methods:</b> Membrane potential, swelling, respiration, and calcium retention capacity were studied using selective electrodes, fluorescence and spectral methods. <b>Results:</b> It was found that curcumin at low concentrations (10-20 μM) activated the opening of the calcium-dependent permeability transition pore (mPTP) and decreased the calcium retention capacity and threshold concentrations necessary for the mPTP opening. Moreover, curcumin caused a concentration-dependent stepwise decrease in the membrane potential, accompanied by the activation of respiration and a decrease in oxidative phosphorylation, which indicates that curcumin is a typical mitochondrial uncoupler. The uncoupling effect strongly depended on the concentration of curcumin, which also increased, stepwise, from weak uncoupling at 25 µM to complete uncoupling at 75-100 µM. Cinnamic acid had similar effects, with the exception of the depolarizing effect, at concentrations that were an order of magnitude higher. <b>Conclusions:</b> Presumably, the uncoupling action of curcumin is a priming event that modulates any energy- and redox-dependent mitochondrial functions, from positive stimulation to toxic disorder. This effect can also underlie the curcumin-induced changes in different cellular processes and be achieved by targeted delivery of curcumin to certain cells, bypassing the microbiota.</p>","PeriodicalId":19894,"journal":{"name":"Pharmaceutics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11510242/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142505624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
