A possible treatment to restore the light sensitivity of the retina consists of rendering the remaining retinal cells photosensitive using optogenetic tools like, for example, Opto-mGluR6, a light-sensitive mGluR6 receptor. We have previously demonstrated that AAV vector-mediated expression of Opto-mGluR6 in ON-bipolar cells restores visual function in otherwise blind mice. However, classical gene supplementation therapy still suffers from high off-target expression rates and uncontrollable target gene expression levels that may lead to either cytotoxicity or lack of functional restoration. To address these issues and achieve cell-specific and endogenously controlled Opto-mGluR6 expression, we employed the CRISPR/Cas technology-in particular, homology-independent targeted integration (HITI) and microhomology-dependent targeted integration (MITI)-to knock-in the Opto-mGluR6 gene behind the ON-bipolar cell-specific GRM6 promoter. We compared four Cas systems <i>in vitro</i> and show that SpCas9 for HITI and LbCpf1 for MITI are well suited to promoting knock-in.

In the case of ocular degenerative disorders, chronic and uncontrolled ocular inflammations can overcome this immune response to initiate and exacerbate tissue degeneration, ultimately leading to blindness. Recent landmark discoveries on the key roles of the ocular innate immune system in regulating acute and chronic inflammations as well as tissue fibrosis and homeostasis have shed light on the value of novel treatment interventions in modulating ocular immune responses at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels. This strategy can be attained by using therapeutics to target resident phagocytes and antigen-presenting cells, namely, microglia and dendritic cells, as well as infiltrating neutrophils and macrophages. Biomaterials are foreign materials to the host and interact with innate immune cells. To leverage such intrinsic immunomodulatory properties, biomaterials such as implants, injectable depots, and nano/micro particles can be used alone as a treatment or with different payloads as carriers in immune-related ocular disorders. This article discusses how physicochemical properties such as biodegradability, size, shape, and charge affect biomaterials' interaction with the eye's innate immune system, therefore influencing outcomes towards pro- or anti-inflammatory responses. Knowledge about the eye's immunological response is required for designing tolerogenic biomaterials including intraocular lenses, cellular scaffolds, therapeutic molecule depots, or carriers of gene therapies.

Despite decades of research, the elements of glial regulation are not fully elucidated. SorLA/SorL1/LR11, a multifunctional receptor, is the most composite member of the Vps10p domain receptor family. In this study, we characterize the expression and function of SorLA in the cells of the BBB. The applied in vitro approaches describe BBB functions in primary cells isolated from wild-type and Sorl1 −/− knock-out rats. Here, we present that Sorl1 gene is highly expressed in wild-type astrocytes but not in BECs and pericytes. Furthermore, we show that SorLA in astrocytes is an important regulator of the BBB’s tightness. The primary rat BBB models where astrocytes lack SorLA protein proved leaky, which correlated well with the decrease in claudin-5 tight junction protein in BECs. Meanwhile, other junctional proteins, i.e., occludin and zonula occludens-1 are unaffected. Collectively, these data suggest that the absence of SorLA in astrocytes affects the tight junctions of BECs, thereby disturbing the BBB. Our results add another layer to understanding astrocyte-endothelial interactions in the healthy and diseased BBB.","PeriodicalId":73079,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in drug delivery","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46942899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therapeutic antibodies can be made transportable through the blood-brain barrier by the re-engineering of the therapeutic antibody as a BBB-penetrating bispecific antibody (BSA). One arm of the BSA is the therapeutic antibody and the other arm of the BSA is a transporting antibody. The transporting antibody targets an exofacial epitope on a BBB receptor, and this enables receptor-mediated transcytosis (RMT) of the BSA across the BBB. Following BBB transport, the therapeutic antibody then engages the target receptor in brain.

However, human skin is known to be a remarkably good barrier to the permeation of substances. The majority of dermatological drug products have been reported to only deliver a portion of the total dose applied, often resulting in low drug bio-availability at the site of action inside the skin. This insufficient formulation performance, coupled with the fact that percutaneous delivery is heavily influenced by the innate physicochemical properties of the active, pose limitations on effective treatment and prevention of diseases by using solely topical formulations. Generally, it is known that the rate and the extent of drug delivery to and through the skin is highly dependent on the formulation components. This work highlights the importance of the vehicle for the design of efficacious skin products, discusses current limitations in dermal delivery and explores recent advances for overcoming these challenges. Novel materials with penetration enhancing properties and innovative formulation strategies are also explored, together with future perspectives and outlooks. The emphasis here is on studies focused on passive skin transport because of clinical limitations associated with disrupting the skin barrier by physical methods.

In addition, the virus has been implicated in CNS diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and encephalitis. SARS-CoV-2 binds to the receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which is used by the virus as a cell entry receptor. Although the mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 enters the brain is still unclear, the possibility of direct entry through the olfactory nerve tract and entry into the brain through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) via blood circulation is indicated. The BBB likely serves as a site of entry for SARS-CoV-2 into the brain, and possibly contributes to the CNS symptoms of COVID-19 due to its dysfunction as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Here, the design and evaluation of a novel in vitro model that estimates anterior clearance (CL) kinetics is described. To mimic some aspects of the human eye to aid with pharmaceutical modelling, the model incorporated a simulation of aqueous inflow from the ciliary inlet at the physiological flow rate, two CL elimination pathways [anterior hyaloid pathway and retina choroid sclera (RCS) pathway], human cavity dimensions and use of simulated vitreous fluid (SVF). An eye movement platform that incorporated 3 different eye movements (smooth pursuit, microsaccadic and saccadic) was tested against the control (no movement) to observe any difference in anterior kinetics profile and drug convection to the posterior cavity. Both timolol and brimonidine injected in the intracameral space were evaluated in the new in vitro prototype. An initial release study with one selected eye movement (smooth pursuit) with timolol (6.8 ± 0.4 µg, 30 μL) and brimonidine (15.3 ± 1.5 µg, 30 μL) showed half-life values of 105.3 and 97.8 min respectively in the anterior cavity (AC) space. Another study evaluated the effect of all eye movements against control with both drugs with higher doses of timolol (146.0 ± 39.1 μg, 25 μL) and brimonidine (134.5 ± 39.5 μg, 25 μL). The amounts of timolol in the back of the eye (RCS membrane and outflow) were 0.07 ± 0.05%, 1.36 ± 0.88%, 1.55 ± 1.03% and 0.98 ± 0.06% by 8 h with smooth pursuit, microsaccadic, saccadic and no movement respectively; whereas brimonidine amounts were 0.70 ± 0.21%, 0.94 ± 0.40%, 1.48 ± 1.02%, and 0.76 ± 0.33% respectively.
