Abstract
Cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of spherical barium sulphate microparticles (diameter 1 µm) were studied with three different cell lines, i.e. THP-1 cells (monocytes; model for a phagocytosing cell line), HeLa cells (epithelial cells; model for a non-phagocytosing cell line), and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs; model for non-phagocytosing primary cells). Barium sulphate is a chemically and biologically inert solid which allows to distinguish two different processes, e.g. the particle uptake and potential adverse biological reactions. Barium sulphate microparticles were surface-coated by carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) which gave the particles a negative charge. Fluorescence was added by conjugating 6-aminofluorescein to CMC. The cytotoxicity of these microparticles was studied by the MTT test and a live/dead assay. The uptake was visualized by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The particle uptake mechanism was quantified by flow cytometry with different endocytosis inhibitors in THP-1 and HeLa cells. The microparticles were easily taken up by all cell types, mostly by phagocytosis and micropinocytosis, within a few hours. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The interaction of particles and cells is of primary importance in nanomedicine, drug delivery, and nanotoxicology. It is commonly assumed that cells take up only nanoparticles unless they are able to phagocytosis. Here, we demonstrate with chemically and biologically inert microparticles of barium sulphate that even non-phagocytosing cells like HeLa and hMSCs take up microparticles to a considerable degree. This has considerable implication in biomaterials science, e.g. in case of abrasive debris and particulate degradation products from implants like endoprostheses.

Abstract
Hard dental tissue pathologies, such as caries, are conventionally managed through replacement by tooth-colored inert biomaterials. Tissue engineering provides novel treatment approaches to regenerate lost dental tissues based on bioactive materials and/or signaling molecules. While regeneration in the form of reparative dentin (osteo-dentin) is feasible, the recapitulation of the tubular microstructure of ortho-dentin and its special features is sidelined. This study characterized in vitro, and in vivo human EDTA-treated, freeze-dried dentin matrices (HTFD scaffolds) conditioned with calcium phosphate nanoparticles (NPs) bearing plasmids encoding dentinogenesis-inducing factors (pBMP2/NPs or pDMP1/NPs). The uptake and transfection efficiency of the synthesized NPs on dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) increased in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, as evaluated qualitatively by confocal laser microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, and quantitatively by flow cytometry, while, in parallel, cell viability decreased. HTFD scaffolds conditioned with the optimal transfectability-to-viability concentration at 4 µg Ca/mL of each of the pBMP2/NPs or pDMP1/NPs preserved high levels of cell viability, evidenced by live/dead staining in vitro and caused no adverse reactions after implantation on C57BL6 mice in vivo. HTFD/NPs constructs induced rapid and pronounced odontogenic shift of the DPSCs, as evidenced by relevant gene expression patterns of RunX2, ALP, BGLAP, BMP-2, DMP-1, DSPP by real-time PCR, and acquirement of polarized meta-mitotic phenotype with cellular protrusions entering the dentinal tubules as visualized by scanning electron microscopy. Taken together, HTFD/NPs constitute a promising tool for customized reconstruction of the ortho-dentin/odontoblastic layer barrier and preservation of pulp vitality. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In clinical dentistry, the most common therapeutic approach for the reconstruction of hard dental tissue defects is the replacement by resin-based restorative materials. Even modern bioactive materials focus on reparative dentinogenesis, leading to amorphous dentin-bridge formation in proximity to the pulp. Therefore, the natural microarchitecture of tubular ortho-dentin is not recapitulated, and the sensory and defensive role of odontoblasts is sidelined. This study approaches the reconstruction at the dentin-pulp interface using a construct of human treated dentin (HTFD) scaffold and plasmid-carrying nanoparticles (NPs) encoding dentinogenic factors (DMP-1 or BMP-2) with excellent in vitro and in vivo properties. As a future perspective, the HTFD/NPs constructs could act as bio-fillings for personalized reconstruction of the dentin-pulp interface.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are often formulated as high-protein-concentration solutions, which in some cases can exhibit physical stability issues such as high viscosity and opalescence. To ensure that mAb-based drugs can meet their manufacturing, stability, and delivery requirements, it is advantageous to screen for and select mAbs during discovery that are not prone to such behaviors. It has been recently shown that both these macroscopic properties can be predicted to a certain extent from the diffusion interaction parameter (kD), which is a measure of self-association under dilute conditions.1 However, kD can be challenging to measure at the early stage of discovery, where a relatively large amount of a high-purity material, which is required by traditional methods, is often not available. In this study, we demonstrate asymmetric field-flow fractionation (AF4) as a tool to measure self-association and therefore identify antibodies with problematic issues at high concentrations. The principle lies on the ability to concentrate the sample close to the membrane during the injection mode, which can reach formulation-relevant concentrations (>100 mg/mL).2 By analyzing a well-characterized library of commercial antibodies, we show that the measured retention time of the antibodies allows us to pinpoint molecules that exhibit issues at high concentrations. Remarkably, our AF4 assay requires very little (30 μg) sample under dilute conditions and does not need extensive sample purification. Furthermore, we show that a polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation assay provides results consistent with AF4 and moreover can further differentiate molecules with issues of opalescence or high viscosity. Overall, our results delineate a two-step strategy for the identification of problematic variants at high concentrations, with AF4 for early developability screening, followed by a PEG assay to validate the problematic molecules and further discriminate between opalescence or high-viscosity issues. This two-step antibody selection strategy enables us to select antibodies early in the discovery process, which are compatible with high-concentration formulations.

Abstract
The usage of antigen-functionalized nanoparticles has become a major focus in the field of experimental HIV-1 vaccine research during the last decade. Various molecular mechanisms to couple native-like trimers of the HIV-1 envelope protein (Env) onto nanoparticle surfaces have been reported, but many come with disadvantages regarding the coupling efficiency and stability. In this study, a short amino acid sequence ("aldehyde-tag") was introduced at the C-terminus of a conformationally stabilized native-like Env. The post-translational conversion of a tag-associated cysteine to formylglycine creates a site-specific aldehyde group without alteration of the Env antigenicity. This aldehyde group was further utilized for bioconjugation of Env trimers. We demonstrated that the low acidic environment necessary for this bioconjugation is not affecting the trimer conformation. Furthermore, we developed a two-step coupling method for pH-sensitive nanoparticles. To this end, we conjugated aldehyde-tagged Env with Propargyl-PEG3-aminooxy linker (oxime ligation; Step-one) and coupled these conjugates by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (Click reaction; Step-two) to calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CaPs) functionalized with terminal azide groups. CaPs displaying orthogonally arranged Env trimers on their surface (o-CaPs) were superior in activation of Env-specific B-cells (in vitro) and induction of Env-specific antibody responses (in vivo) compared to CaPs with Env trimers coupled in a randomly oriented manner. Taken together, we present a reliable method for the site-specific, covalent coupling of HIV-1 Env native-like trimers to the surface of nanoparticle delivery systems. This method can be broadly applied for functionalization of nanoparticle platforms with conformationally stabilized candidate antigens for both vaccination and diagnostic approaches. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: During the last decade antigen-functionalized nanoparticles have become a major focus in the field of experimental HIV-1 vaccines. Rational design led to the production of conformationally stabilized HIV-1 envelope protein (Env) trimers - the only target for the humoral immune system. Various molecular mechanisms to couple Env trimers onto nanoparticle surfaces have been reported, but many come with disadvantages regarding the coupling efficiency and stability. In this paper, we describe a highly selective bio-conjugation of Env trimers to the surface of medically relevant calcium phosphate nanoparticles. This method maintains the native-like protein conformation and has a broad potential application in functionalization of nanoparticle platforms with stabilized candidate antigens (including stabilized spike proteins of coronaviruses) for both vaccination and diagnostic approaches.

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to study the formation of adaptive reactions of grapes to the action of stressors of the winter period, by physiological and biochemical parameters, to identify varieties that have increased adaptive abilities for use in breeding. Objects of research are grape varieties of different origins: Kristall (control), Dostoynyi, Krasnostop AZOS, Vostorg, Aligote, Zarif. It was revealed that the increased resistance to winter stress conditions in the varieties Kristall, Dostoyny is achieved by a decrease in the water content of the buds by 9.09-10.40 %. In the varieties Vostorg, Dostoyny, Krasnostop AZOS adaptive resistance is achieved by increasing the starch content in the tissues of the shoots by 2.81-5.50 times in the pre-winter period. In varieties Krasnostop AZOS, Vostorg an important contribution to the formation of adaptive processes was made by water-soluble sugars, the content of which increased 2.82 and 2.89 times as a result of starch hydrolysis. An increase in the activity of peroxidase (2.49-2.75 times) indicated the instability of varieties Zarif, Aligote. Varieties Vostorg, Dostoynyi, Krasnostop AZOS have increased adaptive abilities in comparison with other studied varieties and are recommended for use in the breeding process.

Abstract
Nanoparticles can act as transporters for synthetic molecules and biomolecules into cells, also in immunology. Antigen-presenting cells like dendritic cells are important targets for immunotherapy in nanomedicine. Therefore, we have used primary murine bone marrow-derived phagocytosing cells (bmPCs), i.e. dendritic cells and macrophages, to study their interaction with spherical barium sulphate particles of different size (40 nm, 420 nm, and 1 µm) and to follow their uptake pathway. Barium sulphate is chemically and biologically inert (no dissolution, no catalytic effects), i.e. we can separate the particle uptake effect from potential biological reactions. The colloidal stabilization of the nanoparticles was achieved by a layer of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) which is biologically inert and gives the particles a negative zeta potential (i.e. charge). The particles were made fluorescent by conjugating 6-aminofluoresceine to CMC. Their uptake was visualized by flow cytometry, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM). Barium sulphate particles of all sizes were readily taken up by dendritic cells and even more by macrophages, with the uptake increasing with time and particle concentration. They were mainly localized inside phagosomes, heterophagosomes, and in the case of nanoparticles also in the nearby cytosol. No particles were found in the nucleus. In nanomedicine, inorganic nanoparticles from the nanometer to the micrometer size are therefore well suited as transporters of biomolecules, including antigens, into dendritic cells and macrophages. The presented model system may also serve to describe the aseptic loosening of endoprostheses caused by abrasive wear of inert particles and the subsequent cell reaction, a question which relates to the field of nanotoxicology. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The interaction of particles and cells is at the heart of nanomedicine and nanotoxicology, including abrasive wear from endoprostheses. It also comprises the immunological reaction to different kinds of nanomaterials, triggered by an immune response, e.g. by antigen-presenting cells. However, it is often difficult to separate the particle effect from a chemical or biochemical reaction to particles or their cargo. We show how chemically inert barium sulphate particles with three different sizes (nano, sub-micro, and micro) interact with relevant immune cells (primary dendritic cells and macrophages). Particles of all three sizes are readily taken up into both cell types by phagocytosis, but the uptake by macrophages is significantly more prominent than that by dendritic cells. The cells take up particles until they are virtually stuffed, but without direct adverse effect. The uptake increases with time and particle concentration. Thus, we have an ideal model system to follow particles into and inside cells without the side effect of a chemical particle effect, e.g. by degradation or ion release.

Abstract
Doxorubicin-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles containing hydrolyzable hydrazone bonds were developed using a non-toxic poly[N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide] (PHPMA) coating, which ensured good colloidal stability in aqueous media and limited internalization by the cells, however, enabled adhesion to the cell surface. While the neat PHPMA-coated particles proved to be non-toxic, doxorubicin-conjugated particles exhibited enhanced cytotoxicity in both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant tumor cells compared to free doxorubicin. The newly developed doxorubicin-conjugated PHPMA-coated magnetic particles seem to be a promising magnetically targeted vehicle for anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Biodegradable calcium phosphate nanoparticles as carriers for the immunoactive toll-like receptor ligands CpG and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid for the activation of dendritic cells (DC) combined with the viral antigen hemagglutinin (HA) were prepared. A purification method based on ultracentrifugation and ultrasonication was developed to separate the nanoparticles from dissolved biomolecules. The number of biomolecules, i.e., oligonucleotides and peptide, incorporated into the nanoparticles was quantitatively determined by UV-spectroscopy, using fluorescent derivatives of the biomolecules. The immunostimulatory effects of purified calcium phosphate nanoparticles on DC were studied, i.e., cytokine production and activation of the cells in terms of the upregulation of surface molecules. Purified calcium phosphate nanoparticles, i.e., without dissolved biomolecules, are capable of inducing adaptive immunity by activation of DC. Immunostimulatory effects of purified calcium phosphate nanoparticles on DC were demonstrated by increased expression of co-stimulatory molecules and MHC II and by cytokine secretion. In addition, DC treated with purified functionalized calcium phosphate nanoparticles induced an antigen-specific T-cell response in vitro.

Abstract
PURPOSE Germline variants of the CHEK2 gene have been shown to act as low-penetrance cancer susceptibility alleles for a wide range of human malignancies. CHEK2 I157T has particularly been linked to colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. We aimed at establishing the population frequency and contribution of this variant to colorectal carcinogenesis in Bulgaria. METHODS We have genotyped 802 population controls and 343 CRC patients from Bulgaria for the CHEK2 I157T variant. RESULTS Heterozygous were 9 of 343 patients (2.62%, odds ratio/OR=1.0, 95% confidence interval/CI = 0.42 - 2.33, p=0.99% and 21 of 802 controls (2.62%). Higher frequencies were found among patients with multiple polyposis (2/40, 5%, p=0.28) and the rarer mucinous histology (1/11, 9.09%, p= 0.26). CONCLUSION We conclude that CHEK2 I157T is not relevant for CRC risk in Bulgaria, but studies on a larger scale might help evaluate its possible significance in respect to disease characteristics.
