Ceramides make up about half of the lipids by weight and are thus of particular interest. Emulsifiers are used in a multitude of topical formulations, e.g., to stabilize emulsions against coalescence. Investigations showed that some emulsifiers have the potential to impair skin barrier function. Sorbitan esters (SEs) are frequently used emulsifiers in pharmaceutical and cosmetic dermal formulations. Further, cholesterol and lecithin were used as natural alternatives. However, information on their impact on ceramides is very scarce. Thus, we first analyzed the SEs by LC-MS with regard to their composition. Then we developed an LC-MS method to identify and quantify the ceramides in porcine skin and subsequently investigated the impact of emulsifiers on the ceramide profile. Besides the LC-MS measurements, the effect of emulsifiers on the skin barrier function was investigated by trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements and confocal Raman spectroscopy (CRS). Throughout the experiments, water was used as a negative control and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) as a positive control. It was found that SEs are mixtures of mono-, di-, and triesters, partially with a complex fatty acid distribution. LC-MS measurements of the total ceramide content of the SC samples revealed the SE 60 and cholesterol-treated samples to be those showing the least ceramide depletion, implying a high skin tolerability in general. The TEWL measurements showed that SEs 40, 60, 80, and 120 showed no significant changes in skin barrier function. The lipid content, measured by CRS, was mostly decreased except for SE 120.

In this study, we investigated Trop2 expression in bladder cancer models using [<sup>64</sup>Cu]Cu-NOTA-Trodelvy for immunoPET imaging. In HT-1376 models, [<sup>64</sup>Cu]Cu-NOTA-Trodelvy effectively visualized tumor as early as 12 h p.i. (10.30 ± 1.45% ID/g), with tumor uptake increasing and peaking at 48 h p.i. (13.73 ± 1.16% ID/g), highlighting its potential for tumor imaging. Control groups also demonstrated low tumor uptake (5.27 ± 1.14% ID/g at 48 h in the blocking group; 6.33 ± 0.74% ID/g at 48 h in UM-UC-3; 4.50 ± 0.30% ID/g at 48 h in the [<sup>64</sup>Cu]Cu-NOTA-IgG group). Long-term fluorescence imaging further confirmed the tumor uptake rate in the IRDye 800CW-Trodelvy group was significantly higher than in the IRDye 800CW-Trodelvy blockade group (<i>P</i> < 0.001). Our findings demonstrated that [<sup>64</sup>Cu]Cu-NOTA-Trodelvy enables specific and prolonged tumor accumulation in bladder cancer models, providing precise and noninvasive monitoring of Trop2 expression.</p>","PeriodicalId":52,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Pharmaceutics","volume":" ","pages":"2266-2275"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11978314/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143583951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
