Abstract
Nanomedicine has proven promising in preclinical studies. However, only few formulations have been successfully translated to clinical use. A thorough understanding of how nanoparticles interact with cells in vivo is essential to accelerate the clinical translation of nanomedicine. Intravital imaging is a crucial tool to reveal the mechanisms of nanoparticle transport in vivo, allowing for the development of new strategies for nanomaterial design. Here, we first review the most recent progress in using intravital imaging to answer fundamental questions about nanoparticle delivery in vivo. We then elaborate on how nanoparticles interact with different cell types and how such interactions determine the fate of nanoparticles in vivo. Lastly, we discuss ways in which the use of intravital imaging can be expanded in the future to facilitate the clinical translation of nanomedicine.

Abstract
Nanoparticles can acquire a biomolecular corona with a species-specific biological identity. However, "non-self" incompatibility of recipient biological systems is often not considered, for example, when rodents are used as a model organism for preclinical studies of biomolecule-inspired nanomedicines. Using zebrafish embryos as an emerging model for nanobioimaging, here we unravel the in vivo fate of intravenously injected 70 nm SiO2 nanoparticles with a protein corona preformed from fetal bovine serum (FBS), representing a non-self biological identity. Strikingly rapid sequestration and endolysosomal acidification of nanoparticles with the preformed FBS corona were observed in scavenger endothelial cells within minutes after injection. This led to loss of blood vessel integrity and to inflammatory activation of macrophages over the course of several hours. As unmodified nanoparticles or the equivalent dose of FBS proteins alone failed to induce the observed pathophysiology, this signifies how the corona enriched with a differential repertoire of proteins can determine the fate of the nanoparticles in vivo. Our findings thus reveal the adverse outcome triggered by incompatible protein coronas and indicate a potential pitfall in the use of mismatched species combinations during nanomedicine development.

Light-triggered switching of liposome surface charge directs delivery of membrane impermeable payloads in vivo. Nat Commun 2020; 11:3638.

Abstract
Surface charge plays a fundamental role in determining the fate of a nanoparticle, and any encapsulated contents, in vivo. Herein, we describe, and visualise in real time, light-triggered switching of liposome surface charge, from neutral to cationic, in situ and in vivo (embryonic zebrafish). Prior to light activation, intravenously administered liposomes, composed of just two lipid reagents, freely circulate and successfully evade innate immune cells present in the fish. Upon in situ irradiation and surface charge switching, however, liposomes rapidly adsorb to, and are taken up by, endothelial cells and/or are phagocytosed by blood resident macrophages. Coupling complete external control of nanoparticle targeting together with the intracellular delivery of encapsulated (and membrane impermeable) cargos, these compositionally simple liposomes are proof that advanced nanoparticle function in vivo does not require increased design complexity but rather a thorough understanding of the fundamental nano-bio interactions involved.

Abstract
Small nucleic acid (NA) therapeutics, such as small interfering RNA (siRNA), are generally formulated in nanoparticles (NPs) to overcome the multiple extra- and intracellular barriers upon in vivo administration. Interaction with target cells typically triggers endocytosis and sequesters the NPs in endosomes, thus hampering the pharmacological activity of the encapsulated siRNAs that occurs in the cytosol. Unfortunately, for most state-of-the-art NPs, endosomal escape is largely inefficient. As a result, the bulk of the endocytosed NA drug is rapidly trafficked toward the degradative lysosomes that are considered as a dead end for siRNA nanomedicines. In contrast to this paradigm, we recently reported that cationic amphiphilic drugs (CADs) could strongly promote functional siRNA delivery from the endolysosomal compartment via transient induction of lysosomal membrane permeabilization. However, many questions still remain regarding the broader applicability of such a CAD adjuvant effect on NA delivery. Here, we report a drug repurposing screen (National Institutes of Health Clinical Collection) that allowed identification of 56 CAD adjuvants. We furthermore demonstrate that the CAD adjuvant effect is dependent on the type of nanocarrier, with NPs that generate an appropriate pool of decomplexed siRNA in the endolysosomal compartment being most susceptible to CAD-promoted gene silencing. Finally, the CAD adjuvant effect was verified on human ovarian cancer cells and for antisense oligonucleotides. In conclusion, this study strongly expands our current knowledge on how CADs increase the cytosolic release of small NAs, providing relevant insights to more rationally combine CAD adjuvants with NA-loaded NPs for future therapeutic applications.
