Abstract
Recent progress with chemistry tools to deliver into living cells has seen a shift of attention from counterion-mediated uptake of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) and their mimics, particularly the Schmuck cation, toward thiol-mediated uptake with cell-penetrating poly(disulfide)s (CPDs) and cyclic oligochalcogenides (COCs), here exemplified by asparagusic acid. A persistent challenge in this evolution is the simultaneous and quantitative detection of cytosolic delivery and cytotoxicity in a high-throughput format. Here, we show that the combination of the HaloTag-based chloroalkane penetration assay (CAPA) with automated high-content (HC) microscopy can satisfy this need. The automated imaging of thousands of cells per condition in multiwell plates allows us to obtain quantitative data on not only the fluorescence intensity but also on the localization in a very short time. Quantitative and statistically relevant results can be obtained from dose-response curves of the targeted delivery to selected cells and the cytotoxicity in the same experiment, even with poorly optimized cellular systems.

Abstract
Electrostatic interactions play a vital role in nature. Biomacromolecules such as proteins are orchestrated by electrostatics, among other intermolecular forces, to assemble and organize biochemistry. Natural proteins with a high net charge exist in a folded state or are unstructured and can be an inspiration for scientists to artificially supercharge other protein entities. Recent findings show that supercharging proteins allows for control of their properties such as temperature resistance and catalytic activity. One elegant method to transfer the favorable properties of supercharged proteins to other proteins is the fabrication of fusions. Genetically engineered, supercharged unstructured polypeptides (SUPs) are just one promising fusion tool. SUPs can also be complexed with artificial entities to yield thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals and liquids. These architectures represent novel bulk materials that are sensitive to external stimuli. Interestingly, SUPs undergo fluid-fluid phase separation to form coacervates. These coacervates can even be directly generated in living cells or can be combined with dissipative fiber assemblies that induce life-like features. Supercharged proteins and SUPs are developed into exciting classes of materials. Their synthesis, structures, and properties are summarized. Moreover, potential applications are highlighted and challenges are discussed.

Abstract
Although colloidal nanoparticles are known to enter into cells via endocytosis, the direct membrane permeation of nanoparticles is rarely reported, and the underlying mechanism of direct membrane permeation is largely unsolved. However, a direct membrane-penetrating nanoparticle has great advantage as a delivery carrier that offers high delivery efficiency, faster delivery kinetics, and minimal lysosomal degradation. Here we show that arginine-terminated Au nanoparticles of <10 nm size enter via energy-independent direct membrane penetration, but as the size increases, the nanoparticles switch to energy-dependent endocytotic uptake. As a delivery carrier, <10 nm Au nanoparticles directly transport an electrostatically bound protein into the cytosol within a minute and allow direct access of the protein to subcellular compartments. This direct delivery approach has been used for efficient nuclear targeting of proteins and can be adapted for direct cytosolic delivery or subcellular targeting applications with high efficiency.

Abstract
In this report, cell-penetrating streptavidin (CPS) is introduced to exploit the full power of streptavidin-biotin biotechnology in cellular uptake. For this purpose, transporters, here cyclic oligochalcogenides (COCs), are covalently attached to lysines of wild-type streptavidin. This leaves all four biotin binding sites free for at least bifunctional delivery. To maximize the standards of the quantitative evaluation of cytosolic delivery, the recent chloroalkane penetration assay (CAPA) is coupled with automated high content (HC) imaging, a technique that combines the advantages of fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. According to the resulting HC-CAPA, cytosolic delivery of CPS equipped with four benzopolysulfanes was the best among all tested CPSs, also better than the much smaller TAT peptide, the original cell-penetrating peptide from HIV. HaloTag-GFP fusion proteins expressed on mitochondria were successfully targeted using CPS carrying two different biotinylated ligands, HaloTag substrates or anti-GFP nanobodies, interfaced with peptide nucleic acids, flipper force probes, or fluorescent substrates. The delivered substrates could be released from CPS into the cytosol through desthiobiotin-biotin exchange. These results validate CPS as a general tool which enables unrestricted use of streptavidin-biotin biotechnology in cellular uptake.

Abstract
Cellular uptake mediated by cyclic oligochalcogenides (COCs) is emerging as a conceptually innovative method to penetrate mammalian cells. Their mode of action is based on dynamic covalent oligochalcogenide exchange with cellular thiols. To test thiol-mediated uptake in bacteria, five antibiotics have been equipped with up to three different COCs: One diselenolane and two dithiolanes. We found that the COCs do not activate antibiotics in Gram-negative bacteria. In Gram-positive bacteria, the COCs inactivate antibiotics that act in the cytoplasm and reduce the activity of antibiotics that act on the cell surface. These results indicate that thiol-mediated uptake operates in neither of the membranes of bacteria. COCs are likely to exchange with thiols on the inner, maybe also on the outer membrane, but do not move on. Concerning mammalian cells, the absence of a COC-mediated uptake into bacteria observed in this study disfavors trivial mechanisms, such as passive diffusion, and supports the existence of more sophisticated, so far poorly understood uptake pathways.

Abstract
Grafting-from (GF) is an important yet underdeveloped strategy toward protein-polymer conjugates. Here, we report a simple cryopolymerization method that enables highly efficient GF synthesis of cell-penetrating protein-polydisulfide conjugates. Rapid and controlled ring-opening polymerization of 1,2-dithiolanes under cryo-conditions can be initiated by proteins bearing a reactive cysteine, owing to both favored thermodynamics and augmented kinetics arising from frozen-induced high local concentration of substrates. This method is applicable to various wild-type or genetically engineered proteins without the need of chemical installation of an initiation group. The resulting conjugates can be reversibly degrafted under mild conditions to regenerate functional "native" proteins in a traceless fashion. These unique features make such conjugates highly useful in applications such as a dynamic switch of protein functions, cytosolic delivery of protein therapeutics, and protein purification. The method is also potentially useful for the in situ growth of other types of polymers from protein surface.

Abstract
The dynamic nature of the disulfide bond has enhanced the potential for disulfide based amphiphiles in the emerging biomedical field. Disulfide containing amphiphiles have extensively been used for constructing wide ranging soft nanostructures as potential candidates for delivery of drugs, proteins and genes owing to their degradable nature in the presence of intracellular glutathione (present in a many fold excess compared to the extracellular milieu). This degradable nature of amphiphiles is not only useful to deliver therapeutics but it also eliminates the toxicity issues associated with the carrier after delivery of such therapeutics. Therefore, these bioreducible and biocompatible nano-aggregates inspired researchers to use them as vehicles for therapeutic delivery and as a result the literature of disulfide containing amphiphiles has been intensified. This review article highlights the structural diversity in disulfide containing amphiphilic small molecule and polymeric systems, structural effects on their aqueous aggregation, redox-responsive disassembly and biological applications. Furthermore, the use of disulfide chemistry towards the design of cell penetrating polymers has also been discussed. Finally a brief perspective on some future opportunities of these systems is provided.

Abstract
Gene delivery using vector or viral-based methods is often limited by technical and safety barriers. A promising alternative that circumvents these shortcomings is the direct delivery of proteins into cells. Here we introduce a non-viral, ligand-mediated protein delivery system capable of selectively targeting primary skin cells in-vivo. Using orthologous self-labelling tags and chemical cross-linkers, we conjugate large proteins to ligands that bind their natural receptors on the surface of keratinocytes. Targeted CRE-mediated recombination was achieved by delivery of ligand cross-linked CRE protein to the skin of transgenic reporter mice, but was absent in mice lacking the ligand's cell surface receptor. We further show that ligands mediate the intracellular delivery of Cas9 allowing for CRISPR-mediated gene editing in the skin more efficiently than adeno-associated viral gene delivery. Thus, a ligand-based system enables the effective and receptor-specific delivery of large proteins and may be applied to the treatment of skin-related genetic diseases.

Abstract
Organic fluorescent dyes with excellent self-delivery to living cells are always difficult to find due to the limitation of the plasma membrane having rigorous selectivity. Herein, in order to improve the permeability of dyes, we utilize a side-chain engineering strategy (SCES): adjusting the side-chain length of dyes to fine-tune the adsorption and desorption processes on the membrane–aqueous phase interfaces of the outer and inner leaflets of the plasma membrane. For this, a family of fluorescent derivatives (SPs) was prepared by functionalizing a styryl-pyridinium fluorophore with alkyl side-chains containing a different carbon number from 1 to 22. Systematic experimental investigations and simulated calculations demonstrate that the self-delivery rate of SPs with a suitable length side-chain is about 22-fold higher in SiHa cells and 76-fold higher in mesenchymal stem cells than that of unmodified SP-1, enabling cell-imaging at an ultralow loading concentration of 1 nM and deep penetration in turbid tissue and in vivo. Moreover, the SCES can even endow a membrane-impermeable fluorescent scaffold with good permeability. Further, quantitative research on the relationship between Clog P and cell permeability shows that when Clog P is in the range of 1.3–2.5, dyes possess optimal permeability. Therefore, this work not only systematically reports the effect of side-chain length on dye delivery for the first time, but also provides some ideal fluorescent probes. At the same time, it gives a suitable Clog P range for efficient cellular delivery, which can serve as a guide for designing cell-permeant dyes. In a word, all the results reveal that the SCES is an effective strategy to dramatically improve dye permeability. A side-chain engineering strategy can dramatically improve dye delivery by fine-tuning the adsorption and desorption abilities of the transmembrane process, enabling ultralow loading bioimaging and deep tissue penetration.![]()

Abstract
The specific transport of amphiphilic compounds such as fluorescently labeled phospholipids into cells is a prerequisite for the analysis of highly dynamic cellular processes involving these molecules, e.g., the intracellular distribution and metabolism of phospholipids. However, cellular delivery remains a challenge as it should not affect the physiological integrity and morphology of the cell membrane. To address this, polymer nanocontainers based on redox-responsive cyclodextrin (CD) amphiphiles are prepared, and their potential to deliver fluorescently labeled phospholipids to intracellular membrane compartments is analyzed. It is shown that mixtures of reductively degradable cyclodextrin amphiphiles and different phospholipids form liposome-like vesicles (CD-lipid vesicles, CSSLV) with a homogeneous distribution of each lipid. Host-guest-mediated self-assembly of a cystamine-crosslinked polymer shell on these CSSLV produces polymer-shelled liposomal vesicles (PSSCSSLV) with the unique feature of a redox-sensitive CSSLV core and reductively degradable polymer shell. PSSCSSLV show high stability and a redox-sensitive release of the amphiphilic cargo. Live cell experiments reveal that the novel PSSCSSLV are readily internalized by primary human endothelial cells and that the reductive microenvironment of the cells' endosomes triggers the release of the amphiphilic cargo into the cytosol. Thus, PSSCSSLV represent a highly efficient system to transport lipid-like amphiphilic cargo into the intracellular environment.

Abstract
Recognition of RNAs under physiological conditions is important for the development of chemical probes and therapeutic ligands. Nucleobase-modified dsRNA-binding PNAs (dbPNAs) are promising for the recognition of dsRNAs in a sequence and structure specific manner under near-physiological conditions. Guanidinium is often present in proteins and small molecules for the recognition of G bases in nucleic acids, in cell-penetrating carriers, and in bioactive drug molecules, which might be due to the fact that guanidinium is amphiphilic and has unique hydrogen bonding and stacking properties. We hypothesized that a simple guanidinium moiety can be directly incorporated into PNAs to facilitate enhanced molecular recognition of G-C pairs in dsRNAs and improved bioactivity. We grafted a guanidinium moiety directly into a PNA monomer (designated as R) using a two-carbon linker as guided by computational modeling studies. The synthetic scheme of the PNA R monomer is relatively simple compared to that of the previously reported L monomer. We incorporated the R residue into various dbPNAs for binding studies. dbPNAs incorporated with R residues are excellent in sequence specifically recognizing G-C pairs in dsRNAs over dsDNA and ssRNAs. We demonstrated that the R residue is compatible with unmodified T and C and previously developed modified L and Q residues in dbPNAs for targeting model dsRNAs, the influenza A viral panhandle duplex structure, and the HIV-1 frameshift site RNA hairpin. Furthermore, R residues enhance the cellular uptake of PNAs.

Abstract
Cyclic oligochalcogenides (COCs) are emerging as promising systems to penetrate cells. Clearly better than and different to the reported diselenolanes and epidithiodiketopiperazines, we introduce the benzopolysulfanes (BPS), which show efficient delivery, insensitivity to inhibitors of endocytosis, and compatibility with substrates as large as proteins. This high activity coincides with high reactivity, selectively toward thiols, exceeding exchange rates of disulfides under tension. The result is a dynamic-covalent network of extreme sulfur species, including cyclic oligomers, from dimers to heptamers, with up to nineteen sulfurs in the ring. Selection from this unfolding adaptive network then yields the reactivities and selectivities needed to access new uptake pathways. Contrary to other COCs, BPS show high retention on thiol affinity columns. The identification of new modes of cell penetration is important because they promise new solutions to challenges in delivery and beyond.

Abstract
Unlike the majority of nanomaterials designed for cellular uptake via endocytic pathways, some of the functional nanoparticles and nanospheres directly enter the cytoplasm without overt biomembrane injuries. Previously, we have shown that a water-soluble nanoaggregate composed of amphiphilic random copolymer of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and n-butyl methacrylate (BMA), poly(MPC- random-BMA) (PMB), passes live cell membranes in an endocytosis-free manner. Yet, details in its translocation mechanism remain elusive due to the lack of proper analytical methods. To understand this phenomenon experimentally, we elaborated the original pH perturbation assay that is extremely sensitive to the pore formation on cell membranes. The ultimate sensitivity originates from the detection of the smallest indicator H+ (H3O+) passed through the molecularly sized transmembrane pores upon challenge by exogenous reagents. We revealed that water-soluble PMB at the 30 mol % MPC unit (i.e., PMB30W) penetrated into the cytosol of model mammalian cells without any proton leaks, in contrast to conventional cell-penetrating peptides, TAT and R8 as well as the surfactant, Triton X-100. While exposure of PMB30W permeabilized cytoplasmic lactate dehydrogenase out of the cells, indicating the alteration of cell membrane polarity by partitioning of amphiphilic PMB30W into the lipid bilayers. Nevertheless, the biomembrane alterations by PMB30W did not exhibit cytotoxicity. In summary, elucidating translocation mechanisms by proton dynamics will guide the design of nanomaterials with controlled permeabilization to cell membranes for bioengineering applications.

Abstract
The trans-acting activator of transcription (TAT) peptide, which is derived from human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), has been widely used as an effective nanocarrier to transport extracellular substances into cells. However, the underlying translocation mechanism of TAT peptide across cell membranes still remains controversial. Besides, the molecular process of TAT peptide facilitating the transport of extracellular substances into cells is largely unknown. In this study, we explore the interactions of TAT peptides and their conjugated gold nanoparticles with lipid membranes by coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that the TAT peptides can hardly penetrate through the membrane at low peptide concentrations; after the concentration increases to a threshold value, they can cross the membrane through an induced nanopore due to the transmembrane electrostatic potential difference. The translocation of TAT peptides is mainly caused by the overall structural changes of membranes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the translocation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) across the membrane is significantly affected by the number of grafted TAT peptides on the particle surface. The transmembrane efficiency of AuNPs may even be reduced when a small number of peptides modify them; whereas, when the number of grafted peptides increases to a certain value, the TAT-AuNP complex can translocate across the membrane in a pore-mediated way. Based on our findings, an effective strategy has been proposed to enhance the delivery efficiency of AuNPs. The present study can improve our understanding of the interactions between TAT peptides and cell membranes; it may also give some insightful suggestions on the design and development of nanocarriers with high efficiency for the delivery of nanoparticles and drugs.

Abstract
Mitochondria are key organelles in mammalian cells whose dysfunction is linked to various diseases. Drugs targeting mitochondrial proteins provide a highly promising strategy for potential therapeutics. Methods for the delivery of small-molecule drugs to the mitochondria are available, but these are not suitable for macromolecules, such as proteins. Herein, we report the delivery of native proteins and antibodies to the mitochondria using biodegradable silica nanoparticles (BS-NPs). The modification of the nanoparticle surface with triphenylphosphonium (TPP) and cell-penetrating poly(disulfide)s (CPD) facilitated their rapid intracellular uptake with minimal endolysosomal trapping, providing sufficient time for effective mitochondrial localization followed by glutathione-triggered biodegradation and of native, functional proteins into the mitochondria.

Abstract
A major hurdle in chemical biology is the delivery of native proteins into the cytosol of mammalian cells. Herein, we report that esterification of the carboxyl groups of an enzyme with a diazo compound enables not only its passage into the cytosol but also the retention of its catalytic activity there. This scenario is demonstrated with human ribonuclease 1, which manifests ribonucleolytic activity that can be cytotoxic. After internalization, the nascent esters are hydrolyzed in situ by endogenous esterases, making the process traceless. This strategy provides unprecedented opportunities for the delivery of functional enzymes into human cells.

Abstract
Proteins have sparked fast growing interest as biological therapeutic agents for several diseases. Antibodies, in particular, carry an enormous potential as drugs owing to their remarkable target specificity and low immunogenicity. Although the market has numerous antibodies directed toward extracellular targets, their use in targeting therapeutically important intracellular targets is limited by their inability to cross cellular membrane. Realizing the potential for antibody therapy in disease treatment, progress has been made in the development of methods to deliver antibodies intracellularly. In this review, we address various platforms for delivery of antibodies and their merits and drawbacks.

Abstract
The development of efficient gene delivery vectors has faced two major challenges, namely endo- and lysosomal escape and intracellular release. To address these problems, we developed an oligonucleotide (ON)-template-assisted polymerization approach to create ON nanospheres as gene vectors. Guanidinium-containing disulfide monomers were organized on the ON templates to increase their effective local concentrations. Consequently, ring-opening disulfide-exchange polymerization between monomers was accelerated, further facilitating the self-assembly of ON nanospheres. The size of these nanospheres was controlled by varying the length of the ON templates. Importantly, the nanospheres can be directly delivered into the cytosol through an endocytosis-independent pathway, which is followed by intracellular depolymerization in the reductive cytosolic environment to release the packaged ONs, resulting in efficient gene silencing. The ON nanospheres thus hold great promise as candidates for gene therapy.

Abstract
The delivery of entire functional proteins into living cells is a long-sought goal in science. Cyclic cell-penetrating peptides (cCPPs) have proven themselves to be potent delivery vehicles to carry proteins upon conjugation into the cytosol of living cells with immediate bioavailability via a non-endosomal uptake pathway. With this strategy, we pursue the cytosolic delivery of mCherry, a medium-sized fluorescent protein. Afterward, we achieve subcellular delivery of mCherry to different intracellular loci by genetic fusion of targeting peptides to the protein sequence. We show efficient transport into a membrane-bound compartment, the nucleus, as well as targeting of the actin cytoskeleton, marking one of the first ways to label actin fluorescently in genetically unmodified living cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate that only by conjugation of cCPPs via a disulfide bond, is flawless localization to the target area achieved. This finding underlines the importance of using a cCPP-based delivery vehicle that is cleaved inside cells, for the precise intracellular localization of a protein of interest.
