Abstract
Cell viability assessment is critical, yet existing assessments are not accurate enough. We report a cell viability evaluation method based on the metabolic ability of a single cell. Without culture medium, we measured the absorption of cells to terahertz laser beams, which could target a single cell. The cell viability was assessed with a convolution neural classification network based on cell morphology. We established a cell viability assessment model based on the THz-AS (terahertz-absorption spectrum) results as y = a = (x - b)c, where x is the terahertz absorbance and y is the cell viability, and a, b, and c are the fitting parameters of the model. Under water stress the changes in terahertz absorbance of cells corresponded one-to-one with the apoptosis process, and we propose a cell 0 viability definition as terahertz absorbance remains unchanged based on the cell metabolic mechanism. Compared with typical methods, our method is accurate, label-free, contact-free, and almost interference-free and could help visualize the cell apoptosis process for broad applications including drug screening.

Self-targeted hyaluronic acid-b-poly (β-amino ester) pH-switchable polymersome for guided doxorubicin delivery to metastatic breast cancer. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 248:125882. [PMID: 37473882 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125882] [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: 02/25/2023] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a targeted pH-sensitive polymersome incorporating doxorubicin (DOX) was manufactured implementing diblock copolymer of hyaluronic acid-b-pPoly (β-amino ester) (HA-PBAE). The hydrophilic DOX was loaded into the aqueous compartment of HA-PBAE polymersomal structure during nanoprecipitation process with 60 % ± 3.0 entrapment efficiency (EE%) and 5.3 % ± 0.2 loading content (LC%) while demonstrating spherical morphology with size of 196 ± 3.8 nm and PDI of 0.3. The prepared platform (DOX-HA-PBAE) illustrated accelerated DOX release in acidic pH 5.4, and showed significantly higher cytotoxicity and cellular internalization in comparison with free DOX against 4T1 cell line (CD44 positive cell). In contrast, no significant growth inhibition was observed in CHO cell line (CD44 negative cell). Furthermore, DOX-HA-PBAE platform displayed higher therapeutic efficacy, favorable tumor accumulation and lower systemic toxicity in comparison with free DOX based on obtained experimental data in ectopic 4T1 tumor model in BALB/c Female mice in terms of tumor growth rate, survival rate, body weight loss, ex vivo biodistribution and pathological evaluations. The obtained results demonstrated that DOX-HA-PBAE polymersomes have potential to be used in metastatic breast cancer therapy with promising characteristics in terms of tumor growth suppression and safety profile.

Abstract
The first poly(β-amino) esters (PβAEs) were synthesized more than 40 years ago. Since 2000, PβAEs have been found to have excellent biocompatibility and the capability of ferrying gene molecules. Moreover, the synthesis process of PβAEs is simple, the monomers are readily available, and the polymer structure can be tailored to meet different gene delivery needs by adjusting the monomer type, monomer ratio, reaction time, etc. Therefore, PβAEs are a promising class of non-viral gene vector materials. This review paper presents a comprehensive overview of the synthesis and correlated properties of PβAEs and summarizes the progress of each type of PβAE for gene delivery. The review focuses in particular on the rational design of PβAE structures, thoroughly discusses the correlations between intrinsic structure and effect, and then finishes with the applications and perspectives of PβAEs.

Abstract
Gene therapy provides a promising approach in treating cancers with high efficacy and selectivity and few adverse effects. Currently, the development of functional vectors with safety and effectiveness is the intense focus for improving the delivery of nucleic acid drugs for gene therapy. For this purpose, stimuli-responsive nanocarriers displayed strong potential in improving the overall efficiencies of gene therapy and reducing adverse effects via effective protection, prolonged blood circulation, specific tumor accumulation, and controlled release profile of nucleic acid drugs. Besides, synergistic therapy could be achieved when combined with other therapeutic regimens. This review summarizes recent advances in various stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for gene delivery. Particularly, the nanocarriers responding to endogenous stimuli including pH, reactive oxygen species, glutathione, and enzyme, etc., and exogenous stimuli including light, thermo, ultrasound, magnetic field, etc., are introduced. Finally, the future challenges and prospects of stimuli-responsive gene delivery nanocarriers toward potential clinical translation are well discussed. The major objective of this review is to present the biomedical potential of stimuli-responsive gene delivery nanocarriers for cancer therapy and provide guidance for developing novel nanoplatforms that are clinically applicable.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a very cunning system that enables tumor cells to escape death post-traditional antitumor treatments through the comprehensive effect of different factors, thereby leading to drug resistance. Deep insights into TME characteristics and tumor resistance encourage the construction of nanomedicines that can remodel the TME against drug resistance. Tremendous interest in combining TME-regulation measurement with traditional tumor treatment to fight multidrug-resistant tumors has been inspired by the increasing understanding of the role of TME reconstruction in improving the antitumor efficiency of drug-resistant tumor therapy. This review focuses on the underlying relationships between specific TME characteristics (such as hypoxia, acidity, immunity, microorganisms, and metabolism) and drug resistance in tumor treatments. The exciting antitumor activities strengthened by TME regulation are also discussed in-depth, providing solutions from the perspective of nanomedicine design. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.

Abstract
Cancer often develops multidrug resistance (MDR) when cancer cells become resistant to numerous structurally and functionally different chemotherapeutic agents. MDR is considered one of the principal reasons for the failure of many forms of clinical chemotherapy. Several factors are involved in the development of MDR including increased expression of efflux transporters, the tumor microenvironment, changes in molecular targets and the activity of cancer stem cells. Recently, researchers have designed and developed a number of small molecule inhibitors and derivatives of natural compounds to overcome various mechanisms of clinical MDR. Unfortunately, most of the chemosensitizing approaches have failed in clinical trials due to non-specific interactions and adverse side effects at pharmacologically effective concentrations. Nanomedicine approaches provide an efficient drug delivery platform to overcome the limitations of conventional chemotherapy and improve therapeutic effectiveness. Multifunctional nanomaterials have been found to facilitate drug delivery by improving bioavailability and pharmacokinetics, enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs to overcome MDR. In this review article, we discuss the major factors contributing to MDR and the limitations of existing chemotherapy- and nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems to overcome clinical MDR mechanisms. We critically review recent nanotechnology-based approaches to combat tumor heterogeneity, drug efflux mechanisms, DNA repair and apoptotic machineries to overcome clinical MDR. Recent successful therapies of this nature include liposomal nanoformulations, cRGDY-PEG-Cy5.5-Carbon dots and Cds/ZnS core–shell quantum dots that have been employed for the effective treatment of various cancer sub-types including small cell lung, head and neck and breast cancers.

Abstract
Imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer treatment are beneficial for precise localization of the malignant lesions and combination of multiple cell killing mechanisms in eradicating stubborn thermal-resistant cancer cells. However, overcoming the adverse impact of tumor hypoxia on PDT efficacy remains a challenge. Here, carrier-free nano-theranostic agents are developed (AIBME@IR780-APM NPs) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided synergistic PTT/thermodynamic therapy (TDT). Two IR780 derivatives are synthesized as the subject of nanomedicine to confer the advantages for the nanomedicine, which are by feat of amphiphilic IR780-PEG to enhance the sterical stability and reduce the risk from reticuloendothelial system uptake, and IR780-ATU to chelate Mn2+ for T1 -weighted MRI. Dimethyl 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionate) (AIBME), acting as thermally decomposable radical initiators, are further introduced into nanosystems with the purpose of generating highly cytotoxic alkyl radicals upon PTT launched by IR780 under 808 nm laser irradiation. Therefore, the sequentially generated heat and alkyl radicals synergistically induce cell death via synergistic PTT/TDT, ignoring tumor hypoxia. Moreover, these carrier-free nano-theranostic agents present satisfactory biocompatibility, which could be employed as a powerful weapon to hit hypoxic tumors via MRI-guided oxygen-independent PTT and photonic TDT.

Abstract
Reversal of cancer drug resistance remains a critical challenge in chemotherapy. Mitochondria-targeted drug delivery has been suggested to mitigate drug resistance in cancer. To overcome the intrinsic limitations in conventional mitochondrial targeting strategies, we develop mitochondrial temperature-responsive drug delivery to reverse doxorubicin (DOX) resistance in lung cancer. Results demonstrate that the thermoresponsive nanocarrier can prevent DOX efflux and facilitate DOX accumulation and mitochondrial targeting in DOX-resistant tumors. As a consequence, thermoresponsive nanocarrier enhances the cytotoxicity of DOX and reverses the drug resistance in tumor-bearing mice. This work represents the first example of mitochondrial temperature-responsive drug delivery for reversing cancer drug resistance. A thermoresponsive nanocarrier was developed to achieve mitochondria-targeted drug delivery. The nanocarrier can enhance DOX accumulation in mitochondria in response to the endogenous mitochondrial temperature. The nanocarrier assists in reversing drug resistance in lung cancer. The nanocarrier is generally biocompatible with low toxicity to healthy organs.

Abstract
![]()
Personalized and
point-of-care (POC) diagnoses are critical for
ocular physiology and disease diagnosis. Real-time monitoring and
continuous sampling abilities of tear fluid and user-friendliness
have become the key characteristics for the applied ophthalmic techniques.
Fluorescence technologies, as one of the most popular methods that
can fulfill the requirements of clinical ophthalmic applications for
optical sensing, have been raised and applied for tear sensing and
diagnostic platforms in recent decades. Wearable sensors in this case
have been increasingly developed for ocular diagnosis. Contact lenses,
as one of the commercialized and popular tools for ocular dysfunction,
have been developed as a platform for fluorescence sensing in tears
diagnostics and real-time monitoring. Numbers of biochemical analytes
have been examined through developed fluorescent contact lens sensors,
including pH values, electrolytes, glucose, and enzymes. These sensors
have been proven for monitoring ocular conditions, enhancing and detecting
medical treatments, and tracking efficiency of related ophthalmic
surgeries at POC settings. This review summarizes the applied ophthalmic
fluorescence sensing technologies in tears for ocular diagnosis and
monitoring. In addition, the cooperation of fabricated fluorescent
sensor with mobile phone readout devices for diagnosing ocular diseases
with specific biomarkers continuously is also discussed. Further perspectives
for the developments and applications of fluorescent ocular sensing
and diagnosing technologies are also provided.

Abstract
Cancer is the second most killer worldwide causing millions of people to lose their lives every year. In the case of women, breast cancer takes away the highest proportion of mortality rate than other cancers. Due to the mutation and resistance-building capacity of different breast cancer cell lines against conventional therapies, this death rate is on the verge of growth. New effective therapeutic compounds and treatment method is the best way to look out for in this critical time. For instance, new synthetic derivatives/ analogues synthesized from different compounds can be a ray of hope. Numerous synthetic compounds have been seen enhancing the apoptosis and autophagic pathway that directly exerts cytotoxicity towards different breast cancer cell lines. To cease the ever-growing resistance of multi-drug resistant cells against anti-breast cancer drugs (Doxorubicin, verapamil, tamoxifen) synthetic compounds may play a vital role by increasing effectivity, showing synergistic action. Many recent and previous studies have reported that synthetic derivatives hold potentials as an effective anti-breast cancer agent as they show great cytotoxicity towards cancer cells, thus can be used even vastly in the future in the field of breast cancer treatment. This review aims to identify the anti-breast cancer properties of several synthetic derivatives against different breast cancer and multi-drug-resistant breast cancer cell lines with their reported mechanism of action and effectivity.

Abstract
More than 90% of surgical patients develop postoperative adhesions, and the incidence of hospital re-admissions can be as high as 20%. Current adhesion barriers present limited efficacy due to difficulties in application and incompatibility with minimally invasive interventions. To solve this clinical limitation, we developed an injectable and sprayable shear-thinning hydrogel barrier (STHB) composed of silicate nanoplatelets and poly(ethylene oxide). We optimized this technology to recover mechanical integrity after stress, enabling its delivery though injectable and sprayable methods. We also demonstrated limited cell adhesion and cytotoxicity to STHB compositions in vitro. The STHB was then tested in a rodent model of peritoneal injury to determine its efficacy preventing the formation of postoperative adhesions. After two weeks, the peritoneal adhesion index was used as a scoring method to determine the formation of postoperative adhesions, and STHB formulations presented superior efficacy compared to a commercially available adhesion barrier. Histological and immunohistochemical examination showed reduced adhesion formation and minimal immune infiltration in STHB formulations. Our technology demonstrated increased efficacy, ease of use in complex anatomies, and compatibility with different delivery methods, providing a robust universal platform to prevent postoperative adhesions in a wide range of surgical interventions.

Rapid pH-responsive self-disintegrating nanoassemblies balance tumor accumulation and penetration for enhanced anti-breast cancer therapy. Acta Biomater 2021; 134:546-558. [PMID: 33882357 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.04.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2020] [Revised: 04/06/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
The dilemma of tumor accumulation and deep penetration has always been a barrier in antitumor therapy. Stimuli-responsive size changeable drug delivery systems provide possible solutions. Nevertheless, the low size-shrinkage efficiency limited the antitumor effects. In this study, an instant pH-responsive size shrinkable nanoassemblies named self-aggregated DOX@HA-CD (SA-DOX@HA-CD) was formulated using small-sized hyaluronic acid modified carbon dots (HA-CD) as monomers, which could self-aggregate into raspberry-like structure via hydrophobicity force in neutral pH and rapidly disassemble into shotgun-like DOX-loaded CD monomer in simulated tumor microenvironment (pH 6.5), owing to the transformation in electrical charge and hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of this system. The transmission electron microscopy showed that the clustered SA-DOX@HA-CD had a diameter of ~150 nm, and thoroughly disassembled into ~30 nm nanoparticles in response to acidic environment. The disassemble efficiency was approximately 100%. Attributed to this property, SA-DOX@HA-CD led to enhanced cellular internalization and accumulation in 4T1 cells in simulated tumor microenvironment, as well as deep tumor penetration in 3D tumor spheroid model. Besides, the imine bond between DOX and HA-CD endowed DOX with pH-responsive release profile in the acidic lysosome environment. Furthermore, in the orthotopic 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model, SA-DOX@HA-CD demonstrated higher tumor accumulation than non-aggregated DOX-HA-CD. Meanwhile, in response to the acid tumor microenvironment, the dissociated DOX-HA achieved deep tumor penetration, which consequently resulted in 2.5-fold higher antitumor efficiency. The formulation of self-aggregated SA-DOX@HA-CD provides a simple and effective alternative to prepare pH-responsive size-shrinkable nanodrug delivery systems. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The heterogeneity of tumor vasculature and the high tumor interstitial pressure lead to the barriers in tumor accumulation and deep penetration, which calls for opposite properties (e.g. size) of drug delivery systems. To address this dilemma, various size changeable nanoparticles have been developed utilizing special features of tumor microenvironment, such as pH, enzyme and reactive oxygen species. Nevertheless, the current strategies face the problems of incomplete hydrolysis of chemical bonds or insufficient enzyme degradation, which result in only partial size shrinkage, hindering the tumor deep penetration effects. Here we developed a self-assembled nanocluster, which could respond to acidic pH rapidly and thoroughly disassemble into small nanodots due to the alteration of hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity/charge, leading to approximately 100% dissociation. This strategy provides a new concept for design of size changeable drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Traditional surgical intervention and antibiotic treatment are poor and even invalid for chronic diseases including periodontitis induced by diverse oral pathogens, which often causes progressive destruction of tissues, even tooth loss, and systemic diseases. Herein, an ointment comprising atomic-layer Fe2O3-modified two-dimensional porphyrinic metal-organic framework (2D MOF) nanosheets is designed by incorporating a polyethylene glycol matrix. After the atomic layer deposition surface engineering, the enhanced photocatalytic activity of the 2D MOF heterointerface results from lower adsorption energy and more charge transfer amounts due to the synergistic effect of metal-linker bridging units, abundant active sites, and an excellent light-harvesting network. This biocompatible and biodegradable 2D MOF-based heterostructure exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity (99.87 ± 0.09%, 99.57 ± 0.21%, and 99.03 ± 0.24%) against diverse oral pathogens (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Staphylococcus aureus) by the synergistic effect of reactive oxygen species and released ions. This photodynamic ion therapy exhibits a superior therapeutic effect to the reported clinical periodontitis treatment owing to rapid antibacterial activity, alleviative inflammation, and improved angiogenesis.

Abstract
While the printed circuit board (PCB) has been widely considered as the building block of integrated electronics, the world is switching to pursue new ways of merging integrated electronic circuits with textiles to create flexible and wearable devices. Herein, as an alternative for PCB, we described a non-printed integrated-circuit textile (NIT) for biomedical and theranostic application via a weaving method. All the devices are built as fibers or interlaced nodes and woven into a deformable textile integrated circuit. Built on an electrochemical gating principle, the fiber-woven-type transistors exhibit superior bending or stretching robustness, and were woven as a textile logical computing module to distinguish different emergencies. A fiber-type sweat sensor was woven with strain and light sensors fibers for simultaneously monitoring body health and the environment. With a photo-rechargeable energy textile based on a detailed power consumption analysis, the woven circuit textile is completely self-powered and capable of both wireless biomedical monitoring and early warning. The NIT could be used as a 24/7 private AI "nurse" for routine healthcare, diabetes monitoring, or emergencies such as hypoglycemia, metabolic alkalosis, and even COVID-19 patient care, a potential future on-body AI hardware and possibly a forerunner to fabric-like computers.

Increased Toxicity of Doxorubicin Encapsulated into pH-Responsive Poly(β-Amino Ester)-Functionalized MCM-41 Silica Nanoparticles. Curr Drug Deliv 2021; 17:799-805. [PMID: 32723272 DOI: 10.2174/1567201817999200728123915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2020] [Revised: 03/09/2020] [Accepted: 05/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The encapsulation of anti-cancer drugs in stimulus-sensitive release systems may provide advantages such as enhanced drug toxicity in tumour tissue cells due to increased intracellular drug release. Encapsulation may also improve release in targeted tissue due to the response to a stimulus such as pH, which is lower in the tumour tissue microenvironment. Here, we evaluated the in vitro toxicity of the Drug Doxorubicin (DOX) loaded into a release system based on poly(β-amino ester)- modified MCM-41 silica nanoparticles. METHODS The MCM-41-DOX-PbAE release system was obtained by loading DOX into MCM-41 nanoparticles amino-functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and then coated with a pH-responsive poly(β-amino ester) (PbAE). The physicochemical characteristics of the release system were evaluated through TEM, FTIR and TGA. Cytotoxicity assays were performed on the MCM-41- DOX-PbAE system to determine their effects on the inhibition of human MCF-7 breast cancer cell proliferation after 48 h of exposure through crystal violet assay; the investigated systems included MCF-7 cells with MCM-41, PbAE, and MCM-41-PbAE alone. Additionally, the release of DOX and the change in pH in vitro were determined. RESULTS The physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized MCM-41-PbAE system were confirmed, including the nanoparticle size, spherical morphology, mesoporous ordered structure, and presence of PbAE on the surface of the MCM-41 nanoparticles. Likewise, we demonstrated that the release of DOX from the MCM-41-DOX-PbAE system promoted an important reduction in MCF-7 cell viability (~ 70%) compared to the values obtained with MCM-41, PbAE, and MCM-41-PbAE, as well as a reduction in the viability under treatment with just DOX (~ 50%). CONCLUSION The results suggest that all the components of the release system are biocompatible and that the encapsulation of DOX in MCM-41-PbAE could allow better intracellular release, which would probably increase the availability and toxic effect of DOX.

Abstract
Various synthetic polymers based on poly(amino ester) (PAE) are suggested as candidates for gene and drug delivery owing to their pH-responsiveness, which contributes to efficient delivery performance. PAE-based pH-responsive polymers are more biodegradable and hydrophilic than other types of pH-responsive polymers. The functionality of PAE-based polymers can be reinforced by using different chemical modifications to improve the efficiency of gene and drug delivery. Additionally, PAE-based polymers are used in many ways in the biomedical field, such as in transdermal delivery and stem cell culture systems. Here, the recent novel PAE-based polymers designed for gene and drug delivery systems along with their further applications toward adult stem cell culture systems are reviewed. The synthetic tactics are contemplated and pros and cons of each type of polymer are analyzed, and detailed examples of the different types are analyzed.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a feature of solid tumors and it hinders the therapeutic efficacy of oxygen-dependent cancer treatment. Herein, we have developed all-organic oxygen-independent hybrid nanobullets ZPA@HA-ACVA-AZ for the "precise strike" of hypoxic tumors through the dual-targeting effects from surface-modified hyaluronic acid (HA) and hypoxia-dependent factor carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX)-inhibitor acetazolamide (AZ). The core of nanobullets is the special zinc (II) phthalocyanine aggregates (ZPA) which could heat the tumor tissues upon 808-nm laser irradiation for photothermal therapy (PTT), along with the alkyl chain-functionalized thermally decomposable radical initiator ACVA-HDA on the side chain of HA for providing oxygen-independent alkyl radicals for ablating hypoxic cancer cells by thermodynamic therapy (TDT). The results provide important evidence that the combination of reverse hypoxia hallmarks CA IX as targets for inhibition by AZ and synergistic PTT/TDT possess incomparable therapeutic advantages over traditional (reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated) cancer treatment for suppressing the growth of both hypoxic tumors and their metastasis.

Abstract
Nanomedicine, acting as the magic bullet, is capable of combining immunotherapy with other treatments to reverse a cold tumor (immune depletion) into a hot tumor. However, how to comprehensively inhibit the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) remains a major challenge for immunotherapy to achieve the maximum benefits. Thus, a strategy that can simultaneously increase the recruitment of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and comprehensively reprogram the immunosuppressive TME is still urgently needed. Herein, a thermal-sensitive nitric oxide (NO) donor S-nitrosothiols (SNO)-pendant copolymer (poly(acrylamide-co-acrylonitrile-co-vinylimidazole)-SNO copolymer, PAAV-SNO) with upper critical solution temperature (UCST) was synthesized and employed to fabricate an erythrocyte membrane-camouflaged nanobullet for codelivery of NIR II photothermal agent IR1061 and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) inhibitor 1-methyl-tryptophan (1-MT). This multifunctional nanobullet possessed long circulation in vivo, enhanced accumulation at the tumor site, and therapeutics-controlled release by NIR II laser, thereby it could avoid unspecific drug leakage while enhancing biosecurity. More importantly, the immunogenic cell death (ICD) induced by local hyperthermia from photothermal therapy (PTT) could be conducive for the increased recruitment of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) at the tumor site. Furthermore, through interfering in the IDO-1 activity by 1-MT and normalizing the tumor vessels by in situ generated NO, the immunosuppressive TME was comprehensively reprogrammed toward an immunostimulatory phenotype, achieving the excellent therapeutic efficacy against both primary breast cancer and metastases. Collectively, this multifunctional nanobullet described in this study developed an effective and promising strategy to comprehensively reprogram suppressive TME and treat "immune cold" tumors.

Abstract
Combining chemo-therapeutics with immune checkpoint inhibitors facilitates killing cancer cells and activating the immune system through inhibiting immune escape. However, their treatment effects remain limited due to the compromised accumulation of both drugs and inhibitors in certain tumor tissues. Herein, a new poly (acrylamide-co-acrylonitrile-co-vinylimidazole-co-bis(2-methacryloyl) oxyethyl disulfide) (PAAVB) polymer-based intelligent platform with controllable upper critical solution temperature (UCST) was used for the simultaneous delivery of paclitaxel (PTX) and curcumin (CUR). Additionally, a hyaluronic acid (HA) layer was coated on the surface of PAAVB NPs to target the CD44-overexpressed tumor cells. The proposed nanomedicine demonstrated a gratifying accumulation in tumor tissue and uptake by cancer cells. Then, the acidic microenvironment and high level of glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells could spontaneously decrease the UCST of polymer, leading to the disassembly of the NPs and rapid drug release at body temperature without extra-stimuli. Significantly, the released PTX and CUR could induce the immunogenic cell death (ICD) to promote adaptive anti-tumor immunogenicity and inhibit immunosuppression through suppressing the activity of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) enzyme respectively. Therefore, the synergism of this intelligent nanomedicine can suppress primary breast tumor growth and inhibit their lung metastasis. A new copolymer PAAVB was prepared with pH- and GSH- controllable upper critical solution temperature (UCST) properties. A nano-platform with PAAVB copolymer core and HA shell was developed and showed the capability to deliver PTX and CUR. The antitumor immune response was synergistically stimulated by PTX-induced ICD and CUR induced IDO1activity suppression. The synergism of intelligent nanomedicine could suppress the primary breast tumor growth and inhibit their lung metastasis.

Abstract
Environmental factors may play a critical role in the etiology and pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the association of PD with specific chemical species remains largely unknown. Here we prepared three kinds of iron oxide nanoparticles and examined their cytotoxicity in a cellular model of PD. We found that lysosome-targeted nanoparticles showed significant cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. Inhibition of AMPK could aggravate the neurotoxicity of lysosome-targeted nanoparticles as well as mitochondrion-targeted nanoparticles. Alteration of mitochondrial membrane potentials was found to be in agreement with the neurotoxicity of iron nanoparticles. These results suggested an important role of AMPK in regulating iron nanoparticle-associated neurotoxicity.

Abstract
D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) is a pharmaceutical excipient approved by Chinese NMPA and FDA of USA. It's widely applied as a multifunctional drug carrier for nanomedicine. The advantages of TPGS include P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition, penetration promotion, apoptosis induction via mitochondrial-associated apoptotic pathways, multidrug resistant (MDR) reversion, metastasis inhibition and so on. TPGS-based drug delivery systems which are responding to external stimulus can combine the inhibitory functions of TPGS towards P-gp with the environmentally responsive controlled release property and thus exerts a synergistic anti-cancer effect, through increased intracellular drug concentration in tumors cells and well-controlled drug release behavior. In this review, TPGS-based nano-sized delivery systems responsive to different stimuli were summarized and discussed, including pH-responsive, redoxresponsive and multi-responsive systems in various formulations. The achievements, mechanisms and different characteristics of TPGS-based stimuli-responsive drug-delivery systems in tumor therapy were also outlined.

Abstract
Tumor penetration of nanocarriers is still an unresolved challenge for effective drug delivery. Herein, we described a size-switchable nanoplatform in response to an external near-infrared (NIR) laser for transcellular drug delivery. The nanoplatform was constructed with a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM)-based nanogel encapsulating chitosan-coated single-walled carbon nanotubes, followed by loading a chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin (DOX). In mice bearing orthotopic breast tumors, the photothermal effect from single-walled carbon nanotubes upon NIR irradiation potently inhibited tumor growth. The antitumor effect of the nanomedicine with NIR irradiation might be attributed to its capability of transcellular transport and tumor penetration in mice. In addition, the nanomedicine with NIR irradiation could elicit an antitumor response by increasing cytotoxic T cells and decreasing myeloid-derived suppressor cells. These results validated the application of photo/thermo-responsive nanomedicine in the orthotopic model of breast cancer.

Abstract
AbstractThe specific interactions responsible for molecular recognition play a crucial role in the fundamental functions of biological systems. Mimicking these interactions remains one of the overriding challenges for advances in both fundamental research in biochemistry and applications in material science. However, current molecular recognition systems based on host–guest supramolecular chemistry rely on familiar platforms (e.g., cyclodextrins, crown ethers, cucurbiturils, calixarenes, etc.) for orienting functionality. These platforms limit the opportunity for diversification of function, especially considering the vast demands in modern material science. Rational design of novel receptor-like systems for both biological and chemical recognition is important for the development of diverse functional materials. In this review, we focus on recent progress in chemically designed molecular recognition and their applications in material science. After a brief introduction to representative strategies, we describe selected advances in these emerging fields. The developed functional materials with dynamic properties including molecular assembly, enzyme-like and bio-recognition abilities are highlighted. We have also selected materials with dynamic properties in contract to traditional supramolecular host–guest systems. Finally, the current limitations and some future trends of these systems are discussed.

Abstract
To enhance the bioavailability of protein therapeutants and improve the stability of storage and delivery, a series of branched amphiphilic block copolymers consisting of cholic acid (CA) initiated poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (CA-PLGA) and water-soluble polyethyleneimine cross-linked polyethylene glycol (PEI-PEG) denoted as CA-PLGA-b-(PEI-PEG) were synthesized and characterized. CA-PLGA-b-(PEI-PEG) presented low cytotoxicity by MTT and cck-8 assay. The cationic CA-PLGA-b-(PEI-PEG) micelles (diameter about 100 nm and zeta potential 34-61 mV) were prepared through self-assembly method, and complexed with insulin via electrostatic interaction to obtain nanoscale micelle/insulin complexes. The micelle/insulin complexes-loaded CA-PLGA microspheres (MIC-MS, 10.4 ± 3.85 μm) were manufactured by employing a double emulsion (W1/O/W2) method. The in vitro insulin release behavior and in vivo hypoglycaemic effect of MIC-MS on streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats were compared with those of the insulin-loaded CA-PLGA microspheres (INS-MS, 7.8 ± 2.57 μm). The initial burst in vitro release of MIC-MS was markedly lower than that of INS-MS (P < 0.01), and the pharmacological availability of MIC-MS via subcutaneous administration was 148.9% relative to INS-MS. Therefore, the cationic CA-PLGA-b-(PEI-PEG) micelles can effectively increase the bioavailability of insulin in CA-PLGA microspheres and can be considered as a potential protein carrier.

Abstract
Even though the reversal of multi-drug resistance (MDR) by numerous nanoparticles has been extensively studied, limited success has been achieved. To overcome this barrier, we report a rationally-designed pH-sensitive micelle, in which doxorubicin (Dox) and resveratrol (Res) were co-loaded. The micelle was based on methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-poly(d,l-lactide)-poly(l-histidine) (mPEG-PLA-PHis), which integrated passive targeting, endo-lysosomal escape and pH-responsive payloads release. At a physiological pH of 7.4 (slightly alkali), Dox and Res were incorporated into the micelles core using the thin-film hydration method (pH-endoSM/Dox/Res). After cellular uptake, the micelles exhibited an enhanced dissociation in response to the acidic endosomes, triggering the release of Res and Dox. Furthermore, Res was observed to synergistically improve the cytotoxicity of Dox by down-regulating the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression, decreasing the membrane potential of the mitochondrial and ATP level, as well as inducing cell apoptosis mediated by mitochondria. The pH-endoSM/Dox/Res showed a prominent ability to decrease the IC50 of Dox by a factor of 17.38 in cell cytotoxicity against the MCF-7/ADR cell line. In vivo distribution demonstrated the excellent tumor-targeting ability of the pH-endoSM/Dox/Res. All results indicated that pH-endoSM/Dox/Res held great potential for the treatment of Dox-resistance breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Nanocarriers-derived anticancer therapeutics typically suffers from poor tumor penetration and suboptimal antitumor efficacy. Although PEGylation improves the stability of nanoparticles and prolongs drug circulation, it further increases the size of nanoparticles and adversely affects the tumor penetration. Here, we developed a light-triggered PEGylation/dePEGylation strategy, whereby near-infrared (NIR)-/pH- dual responsive dePEGylation activates iRGD for tumor targeting. The embedded up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) could efficiently convert NIR to UV-vis which cleaved the linker to remove PEG. NIR-induced dePEGylation remarkably improved vascular extravasation of drugs and deep tumor penetration. Therefore, the stimuli-responsive nanocarriers facilitated the tumor-targeted delivery of drugs through blood circulation and enhanced the antitumor effects.

Abstract
Mitochondria emerge as an important target for cancer therapy. Herein, by taking advantage of the recently reported high temperature of mitochondria, a well-tuned thermoresponsive nanocarrier was developed for specifically delivering the anticancer drug, paclitaxel (PTX), to mitochondria in cancer cells. The temperature-dependent delivery of drugs to mitochondria represents a novel anticancer strategy.

[PMID: 30987287 PMCID: PMC6523129 DOI: 10.3390/nano9040547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2019] [Revised: 03/30/2019] [Accepted: 04/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
A typical amphiphilic star polymer adamantane-[poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-bis(2-carboxyethyl) sulfide-poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether)]₄ with a specific hydrophilic/redox-sensitive/hydrophobic structure was designed and synthesized through ring opening and esterification reactions. The self-assembled nanomicelles were used as doxorubicin (DOX) delivery vehicles with suitable critical micelle concentrations (5.0 mg/L). After the drug being loaded, drug-loaded micelles showed good drug-loading efficiency (10.39%), encapsulation efficiency (58.1%), and drug release (up to 60%) under simulated biological environment conditions. In addition, the backbone structure of the biodegradable polymer was easily hydrolyzed by the action of biological enzymes. As expected, cell-based studies showed that the designed polymer micelles possessed good biocompatibility (a survival rate of 85% for NH-3T3 cells). Moreover, the drug (DOX) still maintained good anti-cancer effects after being loaded, which caused 40% of MCF-7 cells to survive. These redox-sensitive micelles showed anti-tumor therapeutic potential.
