Int J Surg 2023; 109:2934-2940. [PMID: 37352522 PMCID: PMC10583897 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000000558] [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: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is mainly due to the lack of effective early-stage detection strategies. Even though the link between inflammation and PDAC has been demonstrated and inflammatory biomarkers proved their efficacy in predicting several tumours, to date they have a role only in assessing PDAC prognosis. Recently, the studies of interactions between nanosystems and easily collectable biological fluids, alone or coupled with standard laboratory tests, have proven useful in facilitating PDAC diagnosis. Notably, tests based on magnetic levitation (MagLev) of biocoronated nanosystems have demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy in compliance with the criteria stated by WHO. Herein, the author developed a synergistic analysis that combines a user-friendly MagLev-based approach and common inflammatory biomarkers for discriminating PDAC subjects from healthy ones. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plasma samples from 24 PDAC subjects and 22 non-oncological patients have been collected and let to interact with graphene oxide nanosheets.Biomolecular corona formed around graphene oxide nanosheets have been immersed in a Maglev platform to study the levitation profiles.Inflammatory biomarkers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived-NLR (dNLR), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio have been calculated and combined with results obtained by the MagLev platform. RESULTS MagLev profiles resulted significantly different between non-oncological patients and PDAC and allowed to identify a MagLev fingerprint for PDAC. Four inflammatory markers were significantly higher in PDAC subjects: neutrophils ( P =0.04), NLR ( P =4.7 ×10 -6 ), dNLR ( P =2.7 ×10 -5 ), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio ( P =0.002). Lymphocytes were appreciably lower in PDACs ( P =2.6 ×10 -6 ).Combining the MagLev fingerprint with dNLR and NLR returned global discrimination accuracy for PDAC of 95.7% and 91.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The multiplexed approach discriminated PDAC patients from healthy volunteers in up to 95% of cases. If further confirmed in larger-cohort studies, this approach may be used for PDAC detection.

Abstract
The therapeutic efficacy and adverse impacts of nanoparticles (NPs) are strongly dependent on their systemic circulation time. The corona proteins adsorbed on the NPs determine their plasma half-lives, and hence, it is crucial to identify the proteins shortening or extending their circulation time. In this work, the in vivo circulation time and corona composition of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) with different surface charges/chemistries were analyzed over time. SPIONs with neutral and positive charges showed the longest and shortest circulation times, respectively. The most striking observation was that corona-coated NPs with similar opsonin/dysopsonin content showed different circulation times, implying these biomolecules are not the only contributing factors. Long-circulating NPs adsorb higher concentrations of osteopontin, lipoprotein lipase, coagulation factor VII, matrix Gla protein, secreted phosphoprotein 24, alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein, and apolipoprotein C-I, while short-circulating NPs adsorb higher amounts of hemoglobin. Therefore, these proteins may be considered to be determining factors governing the NP systemic circulation time.

Abstract
Despite the general observations of bone repair with magnetic cues, the mechanisms of magnetic cues in macrophage response during bone healing have not been systematically investigated. Herein, by introducing magnetic nanoparticles into hydroxyapatite scaffolds, an appropriate and timely transition from proinflammatory (M1) to anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages during bone healing is achieved. The combined use of proteomics and genomics analysis reveals the underlying mechanism of magnetic cue-mediated macrophage polarization form the perspective of protein corona and intracellular signal transduction. Our results suggest that intrinsically-present magnetic cues in scaffold contribute to the upregulated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signals, and the activation of PPAR signal transduction in macrophages results in the downregulation of the Janus Kinase-Signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signals and the enhancement of fatty acid metabolism, thus facilitating M2 polarization of macrophages. Magnetic cue-dependent changes in macrophage benefit from the upregulation of adsorbed proteins associated with "hormone" and "response to hormone", as well as the downregulation of adsorbed proteins related to "enzyme-linked receptor signaling" in the protein corona. In addition, magnetic scaffolds may also act cooperatively with the exterior magnetic field, showing further inhibition of M1-type polarization. This study demonstrates that magnetic cues play critical roles on M2 polarization, coupling protein corona, intracellular PPAR signals and metabolism.

Abstract
The protein corona spontaneously develops and evolves on the surface of nanoscale materials when they are exposed to biological environments, altering their physiochemical properties and affecting their subsequent interactions with biosystems. In this Review, we provide an overview of the current state of protein corona research in nanomedicine. We next discuss remaining challenges in the research methodology and characterization of the protein corona that slow the development of nanoparticle therapeutics and diagnostics, and we address how artificial intelligence can advance protein corona research as a complement to experimental research efforts. We then review emerging opportunities provided by the protein corona to address major issues in healthcare and environmental sciences. This Review details how mechanistic insights into nanoparticle protein corona formation can broadly address unmet clinical and environmental needs, as well as enhance the safety and efficacy of nanobiotechnology products.

Abstract
As various nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly being used in nanomedicine products for more effective and less toxic therapy and diagnosis of diseases, there is a growing need to understand their biological fate in different sexes. Herein, we report a proof-of-concept result of sex-specific protein corona compositions on the surface of silica NPs as a function of their size and porosity upon incubation with plasma proteins of female and male BALB/c mice. Our results demonstrate substantial differences between male and female protein corona profiles on the surface of silica nanoparticles. By comparing protein abundances between male and female protein coronas of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and Stöber silica nanoparticles of ∼100, 50, and 100 nm in diameter, respectively, we detected 17, 4, and 4 distinct proteins, respectively, that were found at significantly different concentrations for these constructs. These initial findings demonstrate that animal sex can influence protein corona formation on silica NPs as a function of the physicochemical properties. A more thorough consideration of the role of plasma sex would enable nanomedicine community to design and develop safer and more efficient diagnostic and therapeutic nanomedicine products for both sexes.

Abstract
Robust characterization of the protein corona-the layer of proteins that spontaneously forms on the surface of nanoparticles immersed in biological fluids-is vital for prediction of the safety, biodistribution, and diagnostic/therapeutic efficacy of nanomedicines. Protein corona identity and abundance characterization is entirely dependent on liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS), though the variability of this technique for the purpose of protein corona characterization remains poorly understood. Here we investigate the variability of LC-MS/MS workflows in analysis of identical aliquots of protein coronas by sending them to different proteomics core-facilities and analyzing the retrieved datasets. While the shared data between the cores correlate well, there is considerable heterogeneity in the data retrieved from different cores. Specifically, out of 4022 identified unique proteins, only 73 (1.8%) are shared across the core facilities providing semiquantitative analysis. These findings suggest that protein corona datasets cannot be easily compared across independent studies and more broadly compromise the interpretation of protein corona research, with implications in biomarker discovery as well as the safety and efficacy of our nanoscale biotechnologies.

Abstract
Investigations of the densities of chemicals and materials bring valuable insights into the fundamental understanding of matter and processes. Recently, advanced density-based methods have been developed with wide measurement ranges (i.e. 0-23 g cm-3), high resolutions (i.e. 10-6 g cm-3), compatibility with different types of samples and the requirement of extremely low volumes of sample (as low as a single cell). Certain methods, such as magnetic levitation, are inexpensive, portable and user-friendly. Advanced density-based methods are, therefore, beneficially used to obtain absolute density values, composition of mixtures, characteristics of binding events, and kinetics of chemical and biological processes. Herein, the principles and applications of magnetic levitation, acoustic levitation, electrodynamic balance, aqueous multiphase systems, and suspended microchannel resonators for materials science are discussed.

Abstract
In recent years nanotechnology has opened exciting opportunities in the struggle against cancer. In 2007 Dawson and coworkers demonstrated that nanomaterials exposed to biological fluids are coated with plasma proteins that form the so-called “protein corona”. A few years later our joint research team made of physicists, chemists, biotechnologists, surgeons, oncologists, and bioinformaticians introduced the concept of “personalized protein corona” and demonstrated that it is unique for each human condition. This concept paved the way for the development of nano-enabled blood (NEB) tests for the diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). These studies gave an impetus to serious work in the field that came to maturity in the late 2010s. In this special issue, we provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the most significant discoveries of our research team in the field of PDAC detection. We focus on the main achievements with an emphasis on the fundamental aspects of this arena and how they shaped the integration of different scientific backgrounds towards the development of advanced diagnostic technologies. We conclude the review by outlining future perspectives and opportunities to transform the NEB tests into a reliable clinical diagnostic technology for early diagnosis, follow-up, and management of PDAC patients.

Abstract
This Review aims to provide a systematic analysis of the literature regarding ongoing debates in protein corona research. Our goal is to portray the current understanding of two fundamental and debated characteristics of the protein corona, namely, the formation of mono- or multilayers of proteins and their binding (ir)reversibility. The statistical analysis we perform reveals that these characterisitics are strongly correlated to some physicochemical factors of the NP-protein system (particle size, bulk material, protein type), whereas the technique of investigation or the type of measurement (in situ or ex situ) do not impact the results, unlike commonly assumed. Regarding the binding reversibility, the experimental design (either dilution or competition experiments) is also shown to be a key factor, probably due to nontrivial protein binding mechanisms, which could explain the paradoxical phenomena reported in the literature. Overall, we suggest that to truly predict and control the protein corona, future efforts should be directed toward the mechanistic aspects of protein adsorption.

Abstract
Magnetic levitation (MagLev) provides a simple but promising method for density-based analysis and detection down to the individual cell level. However, each existing MagLev configuration for the single-cell density measurement, mainly consisting of a capillary (∼50 mm) placed between two magnets, yields a fairly low sample utilization because of no knowledge about the sample cells in the regions other than the limited microscope vision. Moreover, the quantitative analysis may be affected due to the unclearly defined measurement area, which is specifically associated with the uneven magnetization of magnets, cell size, degree of aggregation. In this work, we explore a pump-free microfluidic magnetic levitation approach for density-based cell characterization, enabling sensitive and effective cellular density measurement on small sample volumes. The microfluidic MagLev comprises a pump-free microfluidic chip placed between two ring magnets with like poles facing. With no external pumps, connectors or control facility, much smaller amounts of fluids (∼4 μL) could be driven automatically in the entire microchannel in 16 s. Based on the pump-free mechanism, unique density signatures of cells from different lineages (ARPE-19, HCT116, HeLa, HT1080, Huh7) are characterized by monitoring the levitation profiles. Furthermore, variation in density of A549 lung cancer cells subjected to a drug treatment are observed in our platform, allowing evaluation of the efficacy of the drug treatment at the individual cell level. Thereby, the proposed pump-free microfluidic MagLev platform, a low-cost, fully automatic and portable design for label-free density-based cell characterization, provides a universal detection tool that operates efficiently within small-volume environments.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the top life-threatening dangers to the human survival, accounting for over 10 million deaths per year. Bioactive glasses have developed dramatically since their discovery 50 years ago, with applications that include therapeutics as well as diagnostics. A new system within the bioactive glass family, mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs), has evolved into a multifunctional platform, thanks to MBGs easy-to-functionalize nature and tailorable textural properties-surface area, pore size, and pore volume. Although MBGs have yet to meet their potential in tumor treatment and imaging in practice, recently research has shed light on the distinguished MBGs capabilities as promising theranostic systems for cancer imaging and therapy. This review presents research progress in the field of MBG applications in cancer diagnosis and therapy, including synthesis of MBGs, mechanistic overview of MBGs application in tumor diagnosis and drug monitoring, applications of MBGs in cancer therapy ( particularly, targeted delivery and stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms), and immunological profile of MBG-based nanodevices in reference to the development of novel cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Pancreatic Ductal Adeno Carcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, and the development of sensitive and specific technologies for its early diagnosis is vital to reduce morbidity and mortality rates. In this proof-of-concept study, we demonstrate the diagnostic ability of magnetic levitation (MagLev) to detect PDAC by using levitation of graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles (NPs) decorated by a biomolecular corona of human plasma proteins collected from PDAC and non-oncological patients (NOP). Levitation profiles of corona-coated GO NPs injected in a MagLev device filled with a paramagnetic solution of dysprosium(III) nitrate hydrate in water enables to distinguish PDAC patients from NOP with 80% specificity, 100% sensitivity, and global classification accuracy of 90%. Our findings indicate that Maglev could be a robust and instrumental tool for the early detection of PDAC and other cancers.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive form of gliomas. The development of supplementary approaches for glioblastoma diagnosis, limited to imaging techniques and tissue biopsies so far, is a necessity of clinical relevance. In this context, nanotechnology might afford tools to enable early diagnosis. Upon exposure to biological media, nanoparticles are coated with a layer of proteins, the protein corona (PC), whose composition is individual and personalized. Here we show that the PC of graphene oxide nanosheets has a capacity to detect GBM using a simple one-dimensional gel electrophoresis technique. In a range of molecular weights between 100 and 120 kDa, the personalized PC from GBM patients is completely discernible from that of healthy donors and that of cancer patients affected by pancreatic adenocarcinoma and colorectal cancer. Using tandem mass spectrometry, we found that inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor (ITI) heavy chain H4 is enriched in the PC of all tested individuals but not in the GBM patients. Overall, if confirmed on a larger cohort series, this approach could be advantageous at the first level of investigation to decide whether to carry out more invasive analyses and/or to follow up patients after surgery and/or pharmacological treatment.

Abstract
Despite efforts in producing nanoparticles with tightly controlled designs and specific physicochemical properties, these can undergo massive nano-bio interactions and bioprocessing upon internalization into cells. These transformations can generate adverse biological outcomes and premature loss of functional efficacy. Hence, understanding the intracellular fate of nanoparticles is a necessary prerequisite for their introduction in medicine. Among nanomaterials devoted to theranostics is copper sulfide (CuS), which provides outstanding optical properties along with easy synthesis and low cost. Herein, we performed a long-term multiscale study on the bioprocessing of hollow CuS nanoparticles (CuS NPs) and rattle-like iron oxide nanoflowers@CuS core-shell hybrids (IONF@CuS NPs) when inside stem cells and cancer cells, cultured as spheroids. In the spheroids, both CuS NPs and IONF@CuS NPs are rapidly dismantled into smaller units (day 0 to 3), and hair-like nanostructures are generated (day 9 to 21). This bioprocessing triggers an adaptation of the cellular metabolism to the internalized metals without impacting cell viability, differentiation, or oxidative stress response. Throughout the remodeling, a loss of IONF-derived magnetism is observed, but, surprisingly, the CuS photothermal potential is preserved, as demonstrated by a full characterization of the photothermal conversion across the bioprocessing process. The maintained photothermal efficiency correlated well with synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements, evidencing a similar chemical phase for Cu but not for Fe over time. These findings evidence that the intracellular bioprocessing of CuS nanoparticles can reshape them into bioengineered nanostructures without reducing the photothermal function and therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Nano-drug delivery systems (Nano-DDS) offer powerful advantages in drug delivery and targeted therapy for diseases. Compared to the traditional drug formulations, Nano-DDS can increase solubility, biocompatibility, and reduce off-targeted side effects of free drugs. However, they still have some disadvantages that pose a limitation in reaching their full potential in clinical use. Protein adsorption in blood, activation of the complement system, and subsequent sequestration by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) consequently result in nanoparticles (NPs) to be rapidly cleared from circulation. Therefore, NPs have low drug delivery efficiency. So, it is important to develop stealth NPs for reducing bio-nano interaction. In this review, we first conclude the interaction between NPs and biological environments, such as blood proteins and MPS, and factors influencing each other. Next, we will summarize the new strategies to reduce NPs protein adsorption and uptake by the MPS based on current knowledge of the bio-nano interaction. Further directions will also be highlighted for the development of biomimetic stealth nano-delivery systems by combining targeted strategies for a better therapeutic effect.

Abstract
The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)) has witnessed a rapid and global proliferation since its early identification in patients with severe pneumonia in Wuhan, China. As of 27th May 2020, 2019-nCoV cases have risen to >5 million, with confirmed deaths of 350,000. However, Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) diagnostic and treatment measures are yet to be fully unraveled, given the novelty of this particular coronavirus. Therefore, existing antiviral agents used for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) were repurposed for COVID-19, taking their biological features into consideration. This study provides a concise review of the current and emerging detection and supervision technologies for SARS-CoV-2, which is the viral etiology of COVID19, and their performance characteristics, with emphasis on the novel Nano-based diagnostic tests (protein corona sensor array and magnetic levitation) and treatment measures (treatment protocols based on nano-silver colloids) for COVID-19.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have a huge potential in research fields from nanomedicine to medical devices. However, surface modifications of nanoparticles (NPs) and thus of their physicochemical properties failed to predict their biological behavior. This requires investigating the "missing link" at the nano-bio interface. The protein corona (PC), the set of proteins binding to the NPs surface, plays a critical role in particle recognition by the innate immune system. Still, in vitro incubation offers a limited understanding of biological interactions and fails to explain the in vivo fate. To date, several reports explained the impact of PC in vitro but its applications in the clinical field have been very limited. Furthermore, PC is often considered as a biological barrier reducing the targeting efficiency of nano vehicles. But the protein binding can actually be controlled by altering PC both in vitro and in vivo. Analyzing PC in vivo could accordingly provide a deep understanding of its biological effect and speed up the transfer to clinical applications. This review demonstrates the need for clarifications on the effect of PC in vivo and the control of its behavior by changing its physicochemical properties. It unfolds the recent in vivo developments to understand mechanisms and challenges at the nano-bio interface. Finally, it reports recent advances in the in vivo PC to overcome and control the limitations of the in vitro PC by employing PC as a boosting resource to prolong the NPs half-life, to improve their formulations and thereby to increase its use for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19) has produced an unprecedented global pandemic. Though the death rate from COVID-19 infection is ∼2%, many infected people recover at home. Among patients for whom COVID-19 is deadly are those with pre-existing comorbidities. Therefore, identification of populations at highest risk of COVID-19 mortality could significantly improve the capacity of healthcare providers to take early action and minimize the possibility of overwhelming care centers, which in turn would save many lives. Although several approaches have been used/developed (or are being developed/suggested) to diagnose COVID-19 infection, no approach is available/proposed for fast diagnosis of COVID-19 infections likely to be fatal. The central aim of this short perspective is to suggest a few possible nanobased technologies (i.e., protein corona sensor array and magnetic levitation) that could discriminate COVID-19-infected people while still in the early stages of infection who are at high risk of death. Such discrimination technologies would not only be useful in protecting health care centers from becoming overwhelmed but would also provide a powerful tool to better control possible future pandemics with a less social and economic burden.

Nanoscale characterization of the biomolecular corona by cryo-electron microscopy, cryo-electron tomography, and image simulation. Nat Commun 2021; 12:573. [PMID: 33495475 PMCID: PMC7835367 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-20884-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The biological identity of nanoparticles (NPs) is established by their interactions with a wide range of biomolecules around their surfaces after exposure to biological media. Understanding the true nature of the biomolecular corona (BC) in its native state is, therefore, essential for its safe and efficient application in clinical settings. The fundamental challenge is to visualize the biomolecules within the corona and their relationship/association to the surface of the NPs. Using a synergistic application of cryo-electron microscopy, cryo-electron tomography, and three-dimensional reconstruction, we revealed the unique morphological details of the biomolecules and their distribution/association with the surface of polystyrene NPs at a nanoscale resolution. The analysis of the BC at a single NP level and its variability among NPs in the same sample, and the discovery of the presence of nonspecific biomolecules in plasma residues, enable more precise characterization of NPs, improving predictions of their safety and efficacies. Understanding the biomolecular corona is of key importance to nanomedicine. Here, the authors report on cryo-electron and tomographic imaging of the corona formed on model nanoparticles and the 3D reconstruction of the corona to study the distribution and association of the biomolecules with the nanoparticle.

Abstract
Further complications associated with infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (a.k.a. SARS-CoV-2) continue to be reported. Very recent findings reveal that 20-30% of patients at high risk of mortality from COVID-19 infection experience blood clotting that leads to stroke and sudden death. Timely assessment of the severity of blood clotting will be of enormous help to clinicians in determining the right blood-thinning medications to prevent stroke or other life-threatening consequences. Therefore, rapid identification of blood-clotting-related proteins in the plasma of COVID-19 patients would save many lives. Several nanotechnology-based approaches are being developed to diagnose patients at high risk of death due to complications from COVID-19 infections, including blood clots. This Perspective outlines (i) the significant potential of nanomedicine in assessing the risk of blood clotting and its severity in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients and (ii) its synergistic roles with advanced mass-spectrometry-based proteomics approaches in identifying the important protein patterns that are involved in the occurrence and progression of this disease. The combination of such powerful tools might help us understand the clotting phenomenon and pave the way for development of new diagnostics and therapeutics in the fight against COVID-19.

Implications of Biomolecular Corona for Molecular Imaging. Mol Imaging Biol 2020; 23:1-10. [PMID: 33095421 DOI: 10.1007/s11307-020-01559-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2020] [Revised: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 10/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
The development of nanoparticle probes has opened up new possibilities for molecular imaging in the era of precision medicine. There are a wide range of nanoprobes that are being used for various modalities that have demonstrated promising potential in early detection, disease monitoring, and theranostics. However, the rate of successful clinical translation of the nanoprobes is very low and is affected by the lack of our understanding about nanoparticle interaction with biological fluids after systemic administration, thus representing an unmet clinical need. One of the poorly understood issues relates to the formation of biomolecular corona, a layer of biomolecules formed on the surface of nanoscale materials during their interactions with biological fluids. The biomolecular corona has several significant effects on the biodistribution of nanoprobes and their imaging ability by (i) reducing their targeting efficacy and (ii) affecting the intrinsic imaging properties (e.g., contrast capacity of magnetic nanoprobes). This review provides insights on the importance of considering biomolecular corona in the development of nanoprobes, which may enable their more efficient utilization for molecular imaging applications.

Abstract
Magnetic levitation (MagLev) is a well-documented, robust technique for density measurements and separations. Although the potential of MagLev as an emerging tool in biotechnology has been recently investigated, the practical use of MagLev in diagnosis and disease detection merits further attention. This review highlights the diagnostic capacity of a simple and portable MagLev system and the possibilities and limitations of the MagLev technique for density-based separation, classification, and manipulation of soft matter and biological systems (e.g., cells, proteins), which in turn may pave the way for the discovery of disease-specific biomarkers.
