[PMID: 38552480 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024]
Abstract
In this paper, a few-layer WS2 nanosheets-based electrochemical biosensor was fabricated for the highly sensitive detection of breast cancer tumor marker miRNA-4484. Firstly, few-layer WS2 nanosheets were prepared by shear stripping and characterized by SEM, TEM, AFM and UV spectrophotometer. After modification of few-layer WS2 nanosheets on the electrode surface, the miRNA probe was fixed on the few-layer WS2 nanosheets by polycytosine (PolyC). Then short-chain miRNA containing PolyC was used as the blocking agent to close the excess active sites on the surface of WS2 nanosheets to complete the fabrication of the sensor biosensing interface. Finally, the current changes caused by the specific binding of miRNA-4484 to the probe were analyzed by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The results showed that the sensor had a good linear relationship for the detection of miRNA-4484 in the concentration range of 1 aM-100 fM, and the detection limit was as low as 1.61 aM. In addition, the electrochemical sensor had excellent selectivity, stability and reproducibility. The artificial sample tests indicated that the developed biosensors have the potential for clinical application in the future.

Abstract
Numerous high-performance nanotechnologies have been developed, but their practical applications are largely restricted by the nanomaterials' low stabilities and high operation complexity in aqueous substrates. Herein, we develop a simple and high-reliability hydrogel-based nanotechnology based on the in situ formation of Au nanoparticles in molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-doped agarose (MoS2/AG) hydrogels for electrophoresis-integrated microplate protein recognition. After the incubation of MoS2/AG hydrogels in HAuCl4 solutions, MoS2 nanosheets spontaneously reduce Au ions, and the hydrogels are remarkably stained with the color of as-synthetic plasmonic Au hybrid nanomaterials (Au staining). Proteins can precisely mediate the morphologies and optical properties of Au/MoS2 heterostructures in the hydrogels. Consequently, Au staining-based protein recognition is exhibited, and hydrogels ensure the comparable stabilities and sensitivities of protein analysis. In comparison to the fluorescence imaging and dye staining, enhanced sensitivity and recognition performances of proteins are implemented by Au staining. In Au staining, exfoliated MoS2 semiconductors directly guide the oriented growth of plasmonic Au nanostructures in the presence of formaldehyde, showing environment-friendly features. The Au-stained hydrogels merge the synthesis and recognition applications of plasmonic Au nanomaterials. Significantly, the one-step incubation of the electrophoretic hydrogels leads to high simplicity of operation, largely challenging those multiple-step Ag staining routes which were performed with high complexity and formaldehyde toxicity. Due to its toxic-free, simple, and sensitive merits, the Au staining integrated with electrophoresis-based separation and microplate-based high-throughput measurements exhibits highly promising and improved practicality of those developing nanotechnologies and largely facilitates in-depth understanding of biological information.

A facile electrochemical aptasensor for chloramphenicol detection based on synergistically photosensitization enhanced by SYBR Green I and MoS 2. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 672:236-243. [PMID: 38838631 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
This study reports the development of a photocatalytic electrochemical aptasensor for the purpose of detecting chloramphenicol (CAP) antibiotic residues in water by utilizing SYBR Green I (SG) and chemically exfoliated MoS2 (ce-MoS2) as synergistically signal-amplification platforms. The Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were electrodeposited onto the surface of an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. After that, the thiolate-modified cDNA, also known as capture DNA, was combined with the aptamer. Subsequently, photosensitized SG molecules and ce-MoS2 nanomaterial were inserted into the groove of the resultant double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). The activation of the photocatalytic process upon exposure to light resulted in the generation of singlet oxygen. The singlet oxygen effectively split the dsDNA, resulting in significant enhancement in the current of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-. When the CAP was present, both SG molecules and ce-MoS2 broke away from the dsDNA, which turned off the photosensitization response, leading to significant reduction in the current of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-. Under the optimal conditions, the aptasensor exhibited a linear relationship between the current of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- with logarithmic concentrations of CAP from 20 to 1000 nM, with a detection of limit (3σ) of 3.391 nM. The aptasensor also demonstrated good selectivity towards CAP in the presence of interfering antibiotics, such as tetracycline, streptomycin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and sulfadimethoxine. Additionally, the results obtained from the analysis of natural water samples using the proposed aptasensor were consistent with the findings acquired through the use of a liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer. Therefore, with its simplicity and high selectivity, this aptasensor can potentially detect alternative antibiotics in environmental water samples by replacing the aptamers based on photosensitization.

Abstract
During biomedical applications, nanozymes, exhibiting enzyme-like characteristics, inevitably come into contact with biological fluids in living systems, leading to the formation of a protein corona on their surface. Although it is acknowledged that molecular adsorption can influence the catalytic activity of nanozymes, there is a dearth of understanding regarding the impact of the protein corona on nanozyme activity and its determinant factors. In order to address this gap, we employed the AuNR@Pt@PDDAC [PDDAC, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)] nanorod (NR) as a model nanozyme with multiple activities, including peroxidase, oxidase, and catalase-mimetic activities, to investigate the inhibitory effects of the protein corona on the catalytic activity. After the identification of major components in the plasma protein corona on the NR, we observed that spherical proteins and fibrous proteins induced distinct inhibitory effects on the catalytic activity of nanozymes. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we uncovered that the adsorbed proteins assembled on the surface of the nanozymes, forming protein networks (PNs). Notably, the PNs derived from fibrous proteins exhibited a screen mesh-like structure with smaller pore sizes compared to those formed by spherical proteins. This structural disparity resulted in a reduced efficiency for the permeation of substrate molecules, leading to a more robust inhibition in activity. These findings underscore the significance of the protein shape as a crucial factor influencing nanozyme activity. This revelation provides valuable insights for the rational design and application of nanozymes in the biomedical fields.

Abstract
Bioaccumulation of nanoplastic particles has drawn increasing attention regarding environmental sustainability and biosafety. How nanoplastic particles interact with the cellular milieu still remains elusive. Herein, we exemplify a general approach to profile the composition of a "protein corona" interacting with nanoparticles via the photocatalytic protein proximity labeling method. To enable photocatalytic proximity labeling of the proteome interacting with particles, iodine-substituted BODIPY (I-BODIPY) is selected as the photosensitizer and covalently conjugated onto amino-polystyrene nanoparticles as a model system. Next, selective proximity labeling of interacting proteins is demonstrated using I-BODIPY-labeled nanoplastic particles in both Escherichia coli lysate and live alpha mouse liver 12 cells. Mechanistic studies reveal that the covalent modifications of proteins by an aminoalkyne substrate are conducted via a reactive oxygen species photosensitization pathway. Further proteomic analysis uncovers that mitochondria-related proteins are intensively involved in the protein corona, indicating substantial interactions between nanoplastic particles and mitochondria. In addition, proteostasis network components are also identified, accompanied by consequent cellular proteome aggregation confirmed by fluorescence imaging. Together, this work exemplifies a general strategy to interrogate the composition of the protein corona of nanomaterials by endowing them with photooxidation properties to enable photocatalytic protein proximity labeling function.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted tremendous interest ever since the isolation of atomically thin sheets of graphene in 2004 due to the specific and versatile properties of these materials. However, the increasing production and use of 2D materials necessitate a thorough evaluation of the potential impact on human health and the environment. Furthermore, harmonized test protocols are needed with which to assess the safety of 2D materials. The Graphene Flagship project (2013-2023), funded by the European Commission, addressed the identification of the possible hazard of graphene-based materials as well as emerging 2D materials including transition metal dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride, and others. Additionally, so-called green chemistry approaches were explored to achieve the goal of a safe and sustainable production and use of this fascinating family of nanomaterials. The present review provides a compact survey of the findings and the lessons learned in the Graphene Flagship.

[PMID: 38101623 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
A stringent analysis of the biocompatibility of MXene is a necessary condition for assessing the biological risk of MXene. Owing to high surface free energy, MXene is capable of adsorbing a large amount of blood proteins to form MXene-protein corona complexes, however, a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between MXene and cellular physiological systems remains limited. Therefore, we investigated the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity effect of MXene Ti3C2Tx and PEGylation Ti3C2Tx mediated by human serum protein corona in THP-1 cells. It was found that PEGylation can alter the interaction between Ti3C2Tx and serum proteins, inducing a significant transformation in the fingerprint of the protein corona. Following protein corona formation, both Ti3C2Tx and PEGylated Ti3C2Tx predominantly accumulated at lysosomal sites within THP-1 cells. Further analysis revealed that clathrin-mediated endocytosis was the primary mechanism of Ti3C2Tx internalization by THP-1 cells. There was no significant effect on cell viability. However, we found that Ti3C2Tx plays a dual role as both a stimulus and scavenger of ROS within THP-1 cells, influenced by its PEGylation and the formation of a protein corona. This study provides important insights for biocompatibility evaluation and rational design of nanoproducts based on Ti3C2Tx in the future.

Abstract
Two-dimensional nanomaterials (2D NMs), characterized by a large number of atoms or molecules arranged in one dimension (typically thickness) while having tiny dimensions in the other two dimensions, have emerged as a pivotal class of materials with unique properties. Their flat and sheet-like structure imparts distinctive physical, chemical, and electronic attributes, which offers several advantages in biomedical applications, including enhanced surface area for efficient drug loading, surface-exposed atoms allowing precise chemical modifications, and the ability to form hierarchical multilayer structures for synergistic functionality. Exploring their nano-bio interfacial interactions with biological components holds significant importance in comprehensively and systematically guiding safe applications. However, the current lack of in-depth analysis and comprehensive understanding of interfacial effects on cancer treatment motivates our ongoing efforts in this field. This study provides a comprehensive survey of recent advances in utilizing 2D NMs for cancer treatment. It offers insights into the structural characteristics, synthesis methods, and surface modifications of diverse 2D NMs. The investigation further delves into the formation of nano-bio interfaces during their in vivo utilization. Notably, the study discusses a wide array of biomedical applications in cancer treatment. With their potential to revolutionize therapeutic strategies and outcomes, 2D NMs are poised at the forefront of cancer treatment, holding the promise of transformative advancements.

Abstract
Despite great advances in understanding the biological behaviors of chiral materials, the effect of chirality-configured nanoparticles on tissue regeneration-related biological processes remains poorly understood. Herein, the chirality of MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) is tailored by functionalization with l-/d-penicillamine, and the profound chiral effects of MoS2 QDs on cellular activities, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration are thoroughly investigated. Specifically, d-MoS2 QDs show a positive effect in promoting the growth, proliferation, and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in d-MoS2 QDs group is substantially up-regulated, resulting in enhanced tube formation activity. This distinct phenomenon is largely due to the higher internalization efficiency of d-MoS2 QDs than l-MoS2 QDs and chirality-dependent nano-bio interactions. In vivo angiogenic assay shows the expression level of angiogenic markers in newly-formed skin tissues of d-MoS2 QDs group is higher than that in l-MoS2 QDs group, leading to an accelerated re-epithelialization and improved skin regeneration. The findings of chirality-dependent angiogenesis activity of MoS2 QDs provide new insights into the biological activity of MoS2 nanomaterials, which also opens up a new path to the rational design of chiral nanomaterials for tissue regeneration application.

Abstract
In typical protein-nanoparticle surface interactions, the biomolecule surface binding and consequent conformational changes are intermingled with each other and are pivotal to the multiple functional properties of the resulting hybrid bioengineered nanomaterial. In this review, we focus on the peculiar properties of the layer formed when biomolecules, especially proteins and peptides, face two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art knowledge and the current challenges concerning the biomolecule coronas and, in general, the 2D nano-biointerface established when peptides and proteins interact with the nanosheet surface. Specifically, this review includes both experimental and simulation studies, including some recent machine learning results of a wide range of nanomaterial and peptide/protein systems.

Abstract
Doping engineering of metallic elements is of significant importance in photocatalysis, especially in the transition element range where metals possess empty 'd' orbitals that readily absorb electrons and increase carrier concentration. The doping of Mn ions produces dipole interactions that change the local structure of BiOCl, thus increasing the specific surface area of BiOCl and the number of mesoporous distributions, and providing a broader platform and richer surface active sites for catalytic reactions. The combination of Mn doping and metal Bi reduces the forbidden bandwidth of BiOCl, thereby increasing the absorption in the light region and strengthening the photocatalytic ability of BiOCl. The degradation of norfloxacin by Bi/Mn-doped BiOCl can reach 86.5% within 10 min. The synergistic effect of Mn doping and Bi metal can change the internal energy level and increase light absorption simultaneously. The photocatalytic system created by such a dual-technology combination has promising applications in environmental remediation.

Abstract
The production scalability and increasing demand for nano-black phosphorus materials (nano-BPs) inevitably lead to their environmental leakage, thereby raising the risk of human exposure through inhalation, ingestion, dermal, and even intravenous pathways. Consequently, a systematic evaluation of their potential impacts on human health is necessary. This Review outlines recent progress in the understanding of various biological responses to nano-BPs. Attention is particularly given to the inconsistent toxicological findings caused by a wide variation of nano-BPs' physicochemical properties, toxicological testing methods, and cell types examined in each study. Additionally, cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking, cell death modes, immunological effects, and other biologically relevant processes are discussed in detail, providing evidence for the potential health implications of nano-BPs. Finally, we address the remaining challenges related to the health risk evaluation of nano-BPs and propose a broader range of applications for these promising nanomaterials.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have significantly contributed to recent advances in material sciences and nanotechnology, owing to their layered structure. Despite their potential as multifunctional theranostic agents, the biomedical translation of these materials is limited due to a lack of knowledge and control over their interaction with complex biological systems. In a biological microenvironment, the high surface energy of nanomaterials leads to diverse interactions with biological moieties such as proteins, which play a crucial role in unique physiological processes. These interactions can alter the size, surface charge, shape, and interfacial composition of the nanomaterial, ultimately affecting its biological activity and identity. This review critically discusses the possible interactions between proteins and 2D nanomaterials, along with a wide spectrum of analytical techniques that can be used to study and characterize such interplay. A better understanding of these interactions would help circumvent potential risks and provide guidance toward the safer design of 2D nanomaterials as a platform technology for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have broad application prospects in the field of biomedicine due to their excellent physicochemical properties. When entering biological fluids, NPs inevitably encountered proteins and were subsequently surrounded by them, forming the termed protein corona (PC). As PC has been evidenced to have critical roles in deciding the biological fates of NPs, how to precisely characterize PC is vital to promote the clinical translation of nanomedicine by understanding and harnessing NPs' behaviors. During the centrifugation-based separation techniques for the PC preparation, direct elution has been most widely used to strip proteins from NPs due to its simpleness and robustness, but the roles of multifarious eluents have never been systematically declared. Herein, seven eluents composed of three denaturants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), dithiothreitol (DTT), and urea (Urea), were applied to detach PC from gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and silica nanoparticles (SiNPs), and eluted proteins in PC have been carefully characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Our results showed that SDS and DTT were the main contributors to the efficient desorption of PC on SiNPs and AuNPs, respectively. The molecular reactions between NPs and proteins were explored and verified by SDS-PAGE analysis of PC formed in the serums pretreated with protein denaturing or alkylating agents. The proteomic fingerprinting analysis indicated the difference of the eluted proteins brought by the seven eluents was the abundance rather than the species. The enrichment of some opsonins and dysopsonins in a special elution reminds us that the possibility of biased judgments on predicting NPs' biological behaviors under different elution conditions. The synergistic effects or antagonistic effects among denaturants for eluting PC were manifested in a nanoparticle-type dependent way by integrating the properties of the eluted proteins. Collectively, this study not only underlines the urgent need of choosing the appropriate eluents for identifying PC robustly and unbiasedly, but also provides an insight into the understanding of molecular interactions during PC formation.

Abstract
As nanoscale extracellular vesicles secreted by cells, small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have enormous potential as safe and effective vehicles to deliver drugs into lesion locations. Despite promising advances with sEV-based drug delivery systems, there are still challenges to drug loading into sEVs, which hinder the clinical applications of sEVs. Herein, we report an exogenous drug-agnostic chiral graphene quantum dots (GQDs) sEV-loading platform, based on chirality matching with the sEV lipid bilayer. Both hydrophobic and hydrophilic chemical and biological drugs can be functionalized or adsorbed onto GQDs by π-π stacking and van der Waals interactions. By tuning the ligands and GQD size to optimize its chirality, we demonstrate drug loading efficiency of 66.3% and 64.1% for doxorubicin and siRNA, which is significantly higher than other reported sEV loading techniques.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP)-based therapeutics have ushered in a new era in translational medicine. However, despite the clinical success of NP technology, it is not well-understood how NPs fundamentally change in biological environments. When introduced into physiological fluids, NPs are coated by proteins, forming a protein corona (PC). The PC has the potential to endow NPs with a new identity and alter their bioactivity, stability, and destination. Additionally, the conformation of proteins is sensitive to their physical and chemical surroundings. Therefore, biological factors and protein-NP-interactions can induce changes in the conformation and orientation of proteins in vivo. Since the function of a protein is closely connected to its folded structure, slight differences in the surrounding environment as well as the surface characteristics of the NP materials may cause proteins to lose or gain a function. As a result, this can alter the downstream functionality of the NPs. This review introduces the main biological factors affecting the conformation of proteins associated with the PC. Then, four types of NPs with extensive utility in biomedical applications are described in greater detail, focusing on the conformation and orientation of adsorbed proteins. This is followed by a discussion on the instances in which the conformation of adsorbed proteins can be leveraged for therapeutic purposes, such as controlling protein conformation in assembled matrices in tissue, as well as controlling the PC conformation for modulating immune responses. The review concludes with a perspective on the remaining challenges and unexplored areas at the interface of PC and NP research.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:2277.

Abstract
Pre-coating with a protein corona on the surface of nanomaterials (NMs) is an important strategy for reducing non-specific serum protein absorption while maintaining targeting specificity. Here, we present lipoic acid-terminated polyethylene glycol and transferrin bi-functionalized MoS2 nanosheets (Tf@MoS2-PEG NSs) as a feasible approach to enhance cellular uptake. Tf@MoS2-PEG NSs can maintain good dispersion stability in cell culture medium and effectively protect MoS2 NSs from oxidation in ambient aqueous conditions. Competitive adsorption experiments indicate that transferrin was more prone to bind MoS2 NSs than bovine serum albumin (BSA). It is noteworthy that single HepG2 cell uptake of Tf@MoS2-PEG presented a heterogeneous distribution pattern, and the cellular uptake amount spanned a broader range (from 0.4 fg to 2.4 fg). Comparatively, the intracellular Mo masses in HepG2 cells treated with BSA@MoS2-PEG and MoS2-PEG showed narrower distribution, indicating homogeneous uptake in the single HepG2 cells. Over 5% of HepG2 cells presented uptake of the Tf@MoS2-PEG over 1.2 fg of Mo, about three-fold that of BSA@MoS2-PEG (0.4 fg of Mo). Overall, this work suggests that Tf coating enhances the cellular uptake of MoS2 NSs and is a promising strategy for improving the intracellular uptake efficiency of cancer cells.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 858:159867. [PMID: 36334667 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Broad application of nanotechnology inevitably results in the release of nanomaterials (NMs) into the aquatic environment, and the negative effects of NMs on aquatic organisms have received much attention. Notably, in the natural aquatic environment, ubiquitous ecological macromolecules (i.e., natural organic matter, extracellular polymeric substances, proteins, and metabolites) can easily adsorb onto the surfaces of NMs and form an "eco-corona". As most NMs have such an eco-corona modification, the properties of their eco-corona significantly determine the fate and ecotoxicity of NMs in the natural aquatic ecosystem. Therefore, it is of great importance to understand the role of the eco-corona to evaluate the environmental risks NMs pose. However, studies on the mechanism of eco-corona formation and its resulting nanotoxicity on aquatic organisms, especially at molecular levels, are rare. This review systemically summarizes the mechanisms of eco-corona formation by several typical ecological macromolecules. In addition, the similarities and differences in nanotoxicity between pristine and corona-coated NMs to aquatic organisms at different trophic levels were compared. Finally, recent findings about potential mechanisms on how NM coronas act on aquatic organisms are discussed, including cellular internalization, oxidative stress, and genotoxicity. The literature shows that 1) the formation of an eco-corona on NMs and its biological effect highly depend on both the composition and conformation of macromolecules; 2) both feeding behavior and body size of aquatic organisms at different trophic levels result in different responses to corona-coated NMs; 3) genotoxicity can be used as a promising biological endpoint for evaluating the role of eco-coronas in natural waters. This review provides informative insight for a better understanding of the role of eco-corona plays in the nanotoxicity of NMs to aquatic organisms which will aid the safe use of NMs.

Abstract
As nanoscale extracellular vesicles secreted by cells, exosomes have enormous potential as safe and effective vehicles to deliver drugs into lesion locations. Despite promising advances with exosome-based drug delivery systems, there are still challenges to drug loading into exosome, which hinder the clinical applications of exosomes. Herein, we report an exogenous drug-agnostic chiral graphene quantum dots (GQDs) exosome-loading platform, based on chirality matching with the exosome lipid bilayer. Both hydrophobic and hydrophilic chemical and biological drugs can be functionalized or adsorbed onto GQDs by π-π stacking and van der Waals interactions. By tuning the ligands and GQD size to optimize its chirality, we demonstrate drug loading efficiency of 66.3% and 64.1% for Doxorubicin and siRNA, which is significantly higher than other reported exosome loading techniques.

Abstract
Enzyme-mimicking nanocatalysts, also termed nanozymes, have attracted much attention in recent years. They are considered potential alternatives to natural enzymes due to their multiple catalytic activities and high stability. However, concerns regarding the colloidal stability, catalytic specificity, efficiency and biosafety of nanomaterials in biomedical applications still need to be addressed. Proteins are biodegradable macromolecules that exhibit superior biocompatibility and inherent bioactivities; hence, the protein modification of nanocatalysts is expected to improve their bioavailability to match clinical needs. The diversity of amino acid residues in proteins provides abundant functional groups for the conjugation or encapsulation of nanocatalysts. Moreover, protein encapsulation can not only improve the overall performance of nanocatalysts in biological systems, but also bestow materials with new features, such as targeting and retention in pathological sites. This review aims to report the recent developments and perspectives of protein-encapsulated catalysts in their functional improvements, modification methods and applications in biomedicine.

Abstract
Two-dimensional MoS2 nanosheets (2D-MoS2) have been widely used in many biological applications due to their distinctive physicochemical properties. Further, the development of surface modification using thiolated ligands allows us to use them for many specific applications. But the effect of possible ligand exchange on 2D-MoS2 has never been explored, which can play an important role in diverse biological applications. In this study, we have observed the ligand-exchange phenomenon on 2D-MoS2 in the presence of different thiolated ligands. The initial study proceeded with boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) functionalized MoS2 with different concentrations of glutathione (GSH), which is the most abundant thiol species in the cytoplasm of various cancer cells. It was found that in the presence of GSH the fluorescence of BODIPY can be regenerated, which is time and concentration dependent. We have also examined this phenomenon with different thiol ligands and transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). We observed a variable rate of ligand exchange in different solvents, surface functionality, and receptor environments that helped us to construct sensor arrays. Interestingly, a ligand-exchange process was not observed in the presence of dithiols. Further, this concept was applied to a cancerous cell line for in vitro delivery. We found that BODIPY-functionalized 2D-MoS2 undergoes thiol exchange by intracellular GSH and subsequently enhanced the fluorescence in the cytoplasm of cancer cells. This strategy can be applied to the development of 2D-TMD-based materials for various biological applications related to ligand exchange.

Abstract
How soft corona, the protein corona’s outer layer, contributes to biological identity of nanomaterials is largely because capturing protein composition of the soft corona in situ remains challenging. We herein develop an in situ Fishing method that can monitor the dynamic formation of protein corona on ultra-small chiral Cu2S nanoparticles (NPs) allowing us to directly separate and identify the corona protein composition. Our method detects spatiotemporal processes in the evolution of hard and soft coronas on chiral NPs, revealing subtle differences in NP − protein interactions even within several minutes. This study highlights the importance of in situ and dynamic analysis of soft/hard corona, provides insights into the role of soft corona in mediating biological responses of NPs, and offers a universal strategy to characterize soft corona to guide the rational design of biomedical nanomaterials. Characterizing the soft protein corona on nanoparticles i.e. the outer layer of the corona, remains a longstanding challenge. Here, the authors develop an in situ method to monitor the dynamic processes of multilayered corona formation and evolution that offers a universal strategy to characterize the soft corona proteome.

Abstract
The global emergency caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic can only be solved with effective and widespread preventive and therapeutic strategies, and both are still insufficient. Here, we describe an ultrathin two-dimensional CuInP2S6 (CIPS) nanosheet as a new agent against SARS-CoV-2 infection. CIPS exhibits an extremely high and selective binding capacity (dissociation constant (KD) < 1 pM) for the receptor binding domain of the spike protein of wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and its variants of concern, including Delta and Omicron, inhibiting virus entry and infection in angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-bearing cells, human airway epithelial organoids and human ACE2-transgenic mice. On association with CIPS, the virus is quickly phagocytosed and eliminated by macrophages, suggesting that CIPS could be successfully used to capture and facilitate virus elimination by the host. Thus, we propose CIPS as a promising nanodrug for future safe and effective anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapy, and as a decontamination agent and surface-coating material to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infectivity.

Abstract
Exploration of the biological behavior and fate of nanoparticles, as affected by the nanomaterial-biology (nano-bio) interaction, has become progressively critical for guiding the rational design and optimization of nanomedicines to minimize adverse effects, support clinical translation, and aid in evaluation by regulatory agencies. Because of the complexity of the biological environment and the dynamic variations in the bioactivity of nanomedicines, in-situ, label-free analysis of the transport and transformation of nanomedicines has remained a challenge. Recent improvements in optics, detectors, and light sources have allowed the expansion of advanced light source (ALS) analytical technologies to dig into the underexplored behavior and fate of nanomedicines in vivo. It is increasingly important to further develop ALS-based analytical technologies with higher spatial and temporal resolution, multimodal data fusion, and intelligent prediction abilities to fully unlock the potential of nanomedicines. In this Outlook, we focus on several selected ALS analytical technologies, including imaging and spectroscopy, and provide an overview of the emerging opportunities for their applications in the exploration of the biological behavior and fate of nanomedicines. We also discuss the challenges and limitations faced by current approaches and tools and the expectations for the future development of advanced light sources and technologies. Improved ALS imaging and spectroscopy techniques will accelerate a profound understanding of the biological behavior of new nanomedicines. Such advancements are expected to inspire new insights into nanomedicine research and promote the development of ALS capabilities and methods more suitable for nanomedicine evaluation with the goal of clinical translation.

Abstract
It is important to detect cancer biomarkers at an early stage of tumor development for the effective diagnosis and treatment of cancer. As a well-known probe for detecting superoxide (·O2-) radicals, nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) can rapidly react with ·O2- to form a hydrophobic formazan precipitate. In this study, by deliberately utilizing this reaction, Pt asymmetrically decorated on a TiO2 nanochannel membrane (Pt/TiNM) is explored to fabricate an electrochemical immunosensing platform with outstanding selectivity and ultrahigh sensitivity. Using NBT as the substrate, hydrophobic formazan precipitation induces a substantial block of ionic diffusion flux in nanochannels. Using alpha fetoprotein (AFP) as the target analyte, the established immunorecognition event was used to induce MoS2-Ab2 conjugates. Thanks to the excellent light-shielding ability of MoS2 nanosheets, the production of ·O2- radicals from the photocatalysis of Pt/TiNM is effectively depressed because of the attenuated arrival of light. The reduced formazan precipitation results in ionic transport changes in nanochannels, which in turn enables the selective recognition of AFP down to 2 ng mL-1. This target-modulated sensing strategy is also capable of sensing other immune targets, thus paving a new way for designing nanochannel-based sensing platforms.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease globally, and there is currently no effective treatment for this condition. Excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and neuroinflammation are major contributors to PD pathogenesis. Herein, ultrasmall nanoscale coordination polymers (NCPs) coordinated by ferric ions and natural product curcumin (Cur) were exploited, showing efficient neuroprotection by scavenging excessive radicals and suppressing neuroinflammation. In a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced mouse PD model, such ultrasmall Fe-Cur NCPs with prolonged blood circulation and BBB traversing capability could effectively alleviate oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammatory condition in the midbrain and striatum to reduce PD symptoms. Thus, this study puts forth a unique type of therapeutics-based NCPs that could be used for safe and efficient treatment of PD with potential in clinical translation.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as the graphene-based materials, transition metal dichalcogenides, transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), black phosphorus, hexagonal boron nitride, and others have attracted considerable attention due to their unique physicochemical properties. This is true not least in the field of medicine. Understanding the interactions between 2D materials and the immune system is therefore of paramount importance. Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests that 2D materials may interact with microorganisms - pathogens as well as commensal bacteria that dwell in and on our body. We discuss the interplay between 2D materials, the immune system, and the microbial world in order to bring a systems perspective to bear on the biological interactions of 2D materials. The use of 2D materials as vectors for drug delivery and as immune adjuvants in tumor vaccines, and 2D materials to counteract inflammation and promote tissue regeneration, are explored. The bio-corona formation on and biodegradation of 2D materials, and the reciprocal interactions between 2D materials and microorganisms, are also highlighted. Finally, we consider the future challenges pertaining to the biomedical applications of various classes of 2D materials.

Abstract
Controllable nano-assembly with stimuli-responsive groups is emerging as a powerful strategy to generate theranostic nanosystems that meet unique requirements in modern medicine. However, this prospective field is still in a proof-of-concept stage due to the gaps in our understanding of complex-(nano-assemblies)-complex-(biosystems) interactions. Indeed, stimuli-responsive assembly-disassembly is, in and of itself, a process of nano-bio interactions, the key steps for biological fate and functional activity of nano-assemblies. To provide a comprehensive understanding of these interactions in this review, we first propose a 4W1H principle (Where, When, What, Which and How) to delineate the relevant dynamic biological processes, behaviour and fate of nano-assemblies. We further summarize several key parameters that govern effective nano-bio interactions. The effects of these kinetic parameters on ADMET processes (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and transformation) are then discussed. Furthermore, we provide an overview of the challenges facing the evaluation of nano-bio interactions of assembled nanodrugs. We finally conclude with future perspectives on safe-by-design and application-driven-design of nano-assemblies. This review will highlight the dynamic biological and physicochemical parameters of nano-bio interactions and bridge discrete concepts to build a full spectrum understanding of the biological outcomes of nano-assemblies. These principles are expected to pave the way for future development and clinical translation of precise, safe and effective nanomedicines with intelligent theranostic features.

Abstract
SignificanceThis study analyzed the dynamic protein corona on the surface of nanoparticles as they traversed from blood to cell lysosomes and escaped from lysosomes to cytoplasm in the target cells. We found with proteomic analysis an abundance of chaperone and glycolysis coronal proteins (i.e., heat shock cognate protein 70, heat shock protein 90, and pyruvate kinase M2 [PKM2]) after escape of the nanoparticles from lysosomes to the cytosol. Alterations of the coronal proteins (e.g., PKM2 and chaperone binding) induced proteostasis collapse, which subsequently led to elevated chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) activity in cells. As PKM2 is a key molecule in cell metabolism, we also revealed that PKM2 depletion was causative to CMA-induced cell metabolism disruption from glycolysis to lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is an ultrathin nanomaterial with a high degree of anisotropy, surface-to-volume ratio, chemical functionality and mechanical strength. These properties together enable MoS2 to emerge as a potent nanomaterial for diverse biomedical applications including drug delivery, regenerative medicine, biosensing and bioelectronics. Thus, understanding the interactions of MoS2 with its biological interface becomes indispensable. These interactions, referred to as "nano-bio" interactions, play a key role in determining the biocompatibility and the pathways through which the nanomaterial influences molecular, cellular and biological function. Herein, we provide a critical overview of the nano-bio interactions of MoS2 and emphasize on how these interactions dictate its biomedical applications including intracellular trafficking, biodistribution and biodegradation. Also, a critical evaluation of the interactions of MoS2 with proteins and specific cell types such as immune cells and progenitor/stem cells is illustrated which governs the short-term and long-term compatibility of MoS2-based biomedical devices.

Abstract
The fates of nanomaterials (NMs) in vivo are greatly dependent on their interactions with human serum proteins. However, the interfacial molecular details of NMs-serum proteins are still difficult to be probed. Herein, the molecular interaction details of human serum albumin (HSA) with Au and SiO2 nanoparticles have been systematically interrogated and compared by using lysine reactivity profiling mass spectrometry (LRP-MS). We demonstrated the biocompatibility of Au is better than SiO2 nanoparticles and the NMs surface charge state played a more important role than particle size in the combination of NMs-HSA at least in the range of 15-40 nm. Our results will contribute to the fundamental mechanism understanding of NMs-serum protein interactions as well as the NMs rational design.

Abstract
An inconvenient hurdle in the practice of nanomedicine is the protein corona, a spontaneous collection of biomolecular species by nanoparticles in living systems. The protein corona is dynamic in composition and may entail improved water suspendability and compromised delivery and targeting to the nanoparticles. How much of this nonspecific protein ensemble is determined by the chemistry of the nanoparticle core and its surface functionalization, and how much of this entity is dictated by the biological environments that vary spatiotemporally in vivo? How do we "live with" and exploit the protein corona without significantly sacrificing the efficacy of nanomedicines in diagnosing and curing human diseases? This article discusses the chemical and biophysical signatures of the protein corona and ponders challenges ahead for the field of nanomedicine.

Abstract
The deleterious effects of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) on human health and the ecological system have gradually gained attention owing to their heavy annual output and extensive global flux. The updated epidemiological or experimental investigations have demonstrated the potential myocardial toxicity triggered by SiNPs, but the underlying mechanisms and long-lasting cardiac effects are still poorly understood. Here, a rat model of sub-chronic respiratory exposure to SiNPs was conducted, and the histopathological analysis and ultrastructural investigation of heart tissues were carried out. More importantly, a comprehensive analysis of whole-genome transcription was utilized in rat heart to uncover key biological and cellular mechanisms triggered by SiNPs. The widening of myocardial space and partial fiber rupture were clearly manifested in rat heart after prolonged SiNPs exposure, particularly accompanied by mitochondrial swelling and cristae rupture. With the aid of Affymetrix GeneChips, 3153 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified after SiNPs exposure, including 1916 down- and 1237 up-regulated genes. GO and KEGG analysis illustrated many important biological processes and pathways perturbed by SiNPs, mainly specializing in cellular stress, energy metabolism, actin filament dynamics and immune response. Signal-net analysis revealed that Prkaca (PKA) plays a core role in the cardiac toxification process of prolonged exposure of SiNPs to rats. Furthermore, qRT-PCR verified that PKA-mediated calcium signaling is probably responsible for SiNPs-induced cardiac injury. Conclusively, our study revealed that SiNPs caused myocardial injury, and particularly, provided transcriptomic insight into the role of PKA-calcium signaling triggered by SiNPs, which would facilitate SiNPs-based nanosafety assessment and biomedicine development.

Abstract
The key role of biomolecule adsorption onto engineered nanomaterials for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes has been well recognized by the nanobiotechnology community, and our mechanistic understanding of nano-bio interactions has greatly advanced over the past decades. Attention has recently shifted to gaining active control of nano-bio interactions, so as to enhance the efficacy of nanomaterials in biomedical applications. In this review, we summarize progress in this field and outline directions for future development. First, we briefly review fundamental knowledge about the intricate interactions between proteins and nanomaterials, as unraveled by a large number of mechanistic studies. Then, we give a systematic overview of the ways that protein-nanomaterial interactions have been exploited in biomedical applications, including the control of protein adsorption for enhancing the targeting efficiency of nanomedicines, the design of specific protein adsorption layers on the surfaces of nanomaterials for use as drug carriers, and the development of novel nanoparticle array-based sensors based on nano-bio interactions. We will focus on particularly relevant and recent examples within these areas. Finally, we conclude this topical review with an outlook on future developments in this fascinating research field.

Wang X, Zhang W. The Janus of Protein Corona on nanoparticles for tumor targeting, immunotherapy and diagnosis. J Control Release 2022; 345:832-850. [PMID: 35367478 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2022.03.056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The therapeutics based on nanoparticles (NPs) are considered as the promising strategy for tumor detection and treatment. However, one of the most challenges is the adsorption of biomolecules on NPs after their exposition to biological medium, leading unpredictable in vivo behaviors. The interactions caused by protein corona (PC) will influence the biological fate of NPs in either negative or positive ways, including (i) blood circulation, accumulation and penetration of NPs at targeting sites, and further cellular uptake in tumor targeting delivery; (ii) interactions between NPs and receptors on immune cells for immunotherapy. Besides, PC on NPs could be utilized as new biomarker in tumor diagnosis by identifying the minor change of protein concentration led by tumor growth and invasion in blood. Herein, the mechanisms of these PC-mediated effects will be introduced. Moreover, the recent advances about the strategies will be reviewed to reduce negative effects caused by PC and/or utilize positive effects of PC on tumor targeting, immunotherapy and diagnosis, aiming to provide a reasonable perspective to recognize PC with their applications.

Abstract
Due to its unique properties and high biomedical relevance fibrinogen is a promising protein for the development of various matrixes and scaffolds for biotechnological applications. Fibrinogen molecules may form extensive clots either upon specific cleavage by thrombin or in thrombin-free environment, for example, in the presence of different salts. Here, we report the novel type of non-conventional fibrinogen clot formation, which is mediated by myeloperoxidase and takes place even at low fibrinogen concentrations (<0.1 mg/ml). We have revealed fibrillar nature of myeloperoxidase-mediated fibrinogen clots, which differ morphologically from fibrin clots. We have shown that fibrinogen clotting is mediated by direct interaction of myeloperoxidase molecules with the outer globular regions of fibrinogen molecules followed by fibrinogen unfolding from its natural trinodular to a fibrillar structure. We have demonstrated a major role of the Debye screening effect in regulating of myeloperoxidase-induced fibrinogen clotting, which is facilitated by small ionic strength. While fibrinogen in an aqueous solution with myeloperoxidase undergoes changes, the enzymatic activity of myeloperoxidase is not inhibited in excess of fibrinogen. The obtained results open new insights into fibrinogen clotting, give new possibilities for the development of fibrinogen-based functional biomaterials, and provide the novel concepts of protein unfolding.

Abstract
The composition of protein corona affects the behavior and fate of nanoparticles in biological systems, which strongly relates to the intrinsic properties of nanoparticles and proteins. Here, three types of MXene Ti3C2Tx nanosheets are prepared by different etching methods, and certain physicochemical characteristics of the nanosheets before and after exposure to human plasma (HP) are characterized. The Ti3C2Tx nanosheets with protein coronas suffer more easily from aggregation than pristine Ti3C2Tx. The composition of protein coronas by LC-MS/MS-based label-free proteomic analysis reveals a high overlap of protein types and functions but a significant difference in relative protein abundance for the three Ti3C2Tx. Immunoglobulins and coagulation proteins are highly enriched while albumin is depleted in the coronas compared with their abundance in original HP. The random forest classification model predicts that the main driving forces for the adsorption of HP proteins on Ti3C2Tx are hydrogen bonding, steric hindrance, and hydrophobic interaction. This study provides insights into the colloidal stability of Ti3C2Tx nanosheets and their interaction with human plasma proteins.

Abstract
Imaging intracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) demonstrated an essential role in exposing their biological and pathological functions. However, the detection of sequence-specific miRNAs in living cells remains a key challenge. Herein, a facile amplified multiple intracellular miRNAs imaging platform was constructed based on Mo2B nanosheets (NSs) fluorescence (FL) quenching and hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The Mo2B NSs demonstrated strong interaction with the hairpin probes (HPs), ssDNA loop, and excellent multiple FL dyes quenching performance, achieving ultralow background signal. After transfection, the HPs recognized specific targets miRNAs, the corresponding HCR was triggered to produce tremendous DNA-miRNA duplex helixes, which dissociated from the surface of the Mo2B NSs to produce strong FL for miRNAs detection. It realized to image multiple miRNAs biomarkers in different cells to discriminate cancer cells from normal cells owing to the excellent sensitivity, and the regulated expression change of miRNAs in cancer cells was also successfully monitored. The facile and versatile Mo2B-based FL quenching platform open an avenue to profile miRNAs expression pattern in living cells, and has great applications in miRNAs based biological and biomedical research.

Abstract
The surfaces of pristine nanoparticles become rapidly coated by proteins in biological fluids, forming the so-called protein corona. The corona modifies key physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticle surfaces that modulate its biological and pharmacokinetic activity, biodistribution, and safety. In the two decades since the protein corona was identified, the importance of nanoparticles surface properties in regulating biological responses have been recognized. However, there is still a lack of clarity about the relationships between physiological conditions and corona composition over time, and how this controls biological activities/interactions. Here we review recent progress in characterizing the structure and composition of protein corona as a function of biological fluid and time. We summarize the influence of nanoparticle characteristics on protein corona composition and discuss the relevance of protein corona to the biological activity and fate of nanoparticles. The aim is to provide a critical summary of the key factors that affect protein corona formation (e.g. characteristics of nanoparticles and biological environment) and how the corona modulates biological activity, cellular uptake, biodistribution, and drug delivery. In addition to a discussion on the importance of the characterization of protein corona adsorbed on nanoparticle surfaces under conditions that mimic relevant physiological environment, we discuss the unresolved technical issues related to the characterization of nanoparticle-protein corona complexes during their journey in the body. Lastly, the paper offers a perspective on how the existing nanomaterial toxicity data obtained from in vitro studies should be reconsidered in the light of the presence of a protein corona, and how recent advances in fields, such as proteomics and machine learning can be integrated into the quantitative analysis of protein corona components.

Morphology optimization strategy of flower-like CoNi 2S 4/Co 9S 8@MoS 2 core@shell nanocomposites to achieve extraordinary microwave absorption performances. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 606:1128-1139.

Abstract
Morphology optimization is an effective strategy to take full advantage of interface polarization for the improvement of electromagnetic wave attenuation capability. Herein, a general route was proposed to produce the flower-like core@shell structured MoS2-based nanocomposites through a simple hydrothermal process. Through the in-situ hydrothermal reaction between the Mo and S sources on the surface of CoNi nanoparticles, flower-like core@shell structured CoNi2S4/Co9S8@MoS2 nanocomposites could be successfully synthesized. By regulating the hydrothermal temperature, the flower-like geometrical morphology of samples could be effectively optimized, and the as-prepared sample (S2) synthesized at 200 °C displayed very excellent flower-like morphology compared to the samples (S1 and S3) obtained at 180 and 220 °C. Owing to the excellent interface polarization effect, the as-prepared S2 presented the evidently superior comprehensive microwave absorption properties in terms of strong aborption capability, wide absorption bandwidth and thin matching thicknesses compared to those of S1 and S3. The as-prepared core@shell structured CoNi2S4/Co9S8@MoS2 sample with very excellent flower-like morphology simultaneously displayed the minimal reflection loss of -50.61 dB with the matching thickness of 2.98 mm, and the effective absorption bandwidth of 8.40 GHz with the matching thickness of 2.36 mm. Therefore, we provided a general route for the production of flower-like core@shell structured MoS2-based nanocomposites, which could make the best of interface polarization to develop high-efficiency microwave absorbers.

Abstract
The occurrence and development of tumors depend on the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is made of various immune cells, activated fibroblasts, basement membrane, capillaries, and extracellular matrix. Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) and microbes are important components in TME. Tumor cells can recruit and educate TAMs and microbes, and the hijacked TAMs and microbes can promote the progression of tumor reciprocally. Tumor vaccine delivery remodeling TME by targeting TAM and microbes can not only enhance the specificity and immunogenicity of antigens, but also contribute to the regulation of TME. Tumor vaccine design benefits from nanotechnology which is a suitable platform for antigen and adjuvant delivery to catalyze new candidate vaccines applying to clinical therapy at unparalleled speed. In view of the characteristics and mechanisms of TME development, vaccine delivery targeting and breaking the malignant interactions among tumor cells, TAMs, and microbes may serve as a novel strategy for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Despite the potential of cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) in bioimaging and drug delivery, their toxic effects have been documented. It is known that the immunotoxicity of CdTe QDs targeting macrophages is one of their adverse effects, and the protein corona (PC) will affect the biological effects of QDs. In order to prove whether the PC-CdTe QDs complexes could alleviate the toxicity of CdTe QDs without weakening their luminescence, we investigated the impact of protein corona formed in fetal bovine serum (FBS) on the cytotoxicity of CdTe QDs to mitochondria. RAW264.7 cells were used as the model to compare the effects of CdTe QDs and PC-CdTe QDs complexes on the structure, function, quantity, morphology, and mitochondrial quality control of mitochondria. As result, the protein corona form in FBS alleviated the inhibition of CdTe QDs on mitochondrial activity, the damage to mitochondrial membrane, the increase of ROS, and the reduction of ATP content. Also, CdTe QDs increased the number of mitochondria in macrophages, while the complexes did not. In line with this, the morphology of mitochondrial network in macrophages which were exposed to CdTe QDs and PC-CdTe QDs complexes was different. CdTe QDs transformed the network into fragments, punctuations, and short rods, while PC-CdTe QDs complexes made the mitochondrial network highly branched, which was related to the imbalance of mitochondrial fission and fusion. Mechanically, CdTe QDs facilitated mitochondrial fission and inhibited mitochondrial fusion, while protein corona reversed the phenomenon caused by QDs. Besides mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy were also affected. CdTe QDs increased the expression of mitochondrial biogenesis signaling molecules including PGC-1α, NRF-1 and TFAM, while PC-CdTe QDs complexes played the opposite role. With regard to mitophagy, they both showed promoting effect. In conclusion, the formation of protein corona alleviated the toxic effects of CdTe QDs on the mitochondria in macrophages and affected mitochondrial quality control. Under the premise of ensuring the fluorescence properties of CdTe QDs, these findings provided useful insight into reducing the toxicity of CdTe QDs from two perspectives: protein corona and mitochondria, and shared valuable information for the safe use of QDs.

Abstract
Poly(ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK) with good biocompatibility exhibits high mechanical strengths but bioinert. In addition, tantalum (Ta) possesses outstanding osteogenesis but high density and elastic modulus, and cost. In this study, by blending Ta nanoparticles with PEEK, Ta/PEEK composite (TP) was prepared, which was then treated by concentrated sulfuric acid to form a microporous surface containing Ta particles on TP (TPS). Moreover, genistein (GS) with antibacterial property was loaded into the microporous surface of TPS (TPSG). Compared with TP, the surface properties (e.g., surface roughness and hydrophilicity) of TPS was obviously improved because of the microporous surface including Ta nanoparticles. Moreover, TPS showed low antibacterial properties because of presence of sulfonic group while TPSG exhibited excellent antibacterial properties due to GS loaded into the microporous surface. Furthermore, compared with TP, TPS obviously promoted attachment and proliferation of MG63 cells, while TPSG with GS remarkably inducing osteogenic differentiation of the cells compared with TPS in vitro. Moreover, in comparison with TP, TPS with optimized surface properties promoted new bone regeneration and osseointegration, while TPSG loading GS further enhanced bone regeneration as well as osseointegration in vivo. In summary, the GS loaded into microporous surface including Ta nanoparticles of TPSG exhibited antibacterial and osteogenic activity, which would have great potential for bone tissue repair.

Abstract
In the last years, cancer immunotherapy has started to attract a lot of attention, becoming one of the alternatives in the clinical treatment of cancer. Indeed, one of the advantages of immunotherapy is that both primary and distant tumors can be efficiently eradicated through a triggered immune response. Due to their large specific surface area and unique physicochemical properties, 2D materials have become popular in cancer immunotherapy, especially as efficient drug carriers. They have been also exploited as photothermal platforms, chemodynamic agents, and photosensitizers to further enhance the efficacy of the therapy. In this review, the focus is on the recent development of 2D materials as new tools to combine immunotherapy with chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, and radiodynamic therapy. These innovative synergistic approaches intend to go beyond the classical strategies based on a simple delivery function of immune modulators by nanomaterials. Furthermore, the effects of the 2D materials themselves and their surface properties (e.g., chemical modification and protein corona formation) on the induction of an immune response will be also discussed.
