Abstract
Nucleic acid delivery provides effective options to control intracellular gene expression and protein production. Efficient delivery of nucleic acid typically requires delivery vehicles to facilitate the entry of nucleic acid into cells. Among non-viral delivery vehicles, cationic materials are favored because of their high loading capacity of nucleic acids and prominent cellular uptake efficiency through electrostatic interaction. However, cationic moieties at high dosage tend to induce severe cytotoxicity due to the interference on cell membrane integrity. In contrast, non-cationic materials present alternative delivery approaches with less safety concerns than cationic materials. In this Progress Report, principles of non-cationic material design for nucleic acid delivery are discussed. Examples of such non-cationic platforms are highlighted, including complexation or conjugation with nucleic acids and self-assembled nucleic acid structures.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) have been extensively developed as contrast agents, theranostic platforms, and probes for molecular imaging. This popularity has yielded a large number of AuNP designs that vary in size, shape, surface functionalization, and assembly, to match very closely the requirements for various imaging applications. Hence, AuNP based probes for molecular imaging allow the use of computed tomography (CT), fluorescence, and other forms of optical imaging, photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other newer techniques. The unique physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and highly developed chemistry of AuNP have facilitated breakthroughs in molecular imaging that allow the detection and imaging of physiological processes with high sensitivity and spatial resolution. In this Review, we summarize the recent advances in molecular imaging achieved using novel AuNP structures, cell tracking using AuNP, targeted AuNP for cancer imaging, and activatable AuNP probes. Finally, the perspectives and current limitations for the clinical translation of AuNP based probes are discussed.

Abstract
The development of drug delivery vehicles to cancer and/or immune cells in lymph nodes is important for cancer diagnosis, therapy, and immunotherapy. We previously reported that anionic carboxyl-terminal dendrimers were accumulated in lymph nodes. In this study, three anionic dendrimers with carboxyl-, sulfonyl-, and phosphate-terminal groups were prepared to examine the lymph node targeting and the association with immune cells in the lymph nodes. These anionic dendrimers were accumulated in the lymph node by intradermal injection. Although the carboxyl- and sulfonyl-terminal dendrimers were diffused from the injection site, the phosphate-terminal dendrimers were mostly retained. The phosphate-terminal dendrimer was recognized by the macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells in the lymph node, whereas the carboxyl- and sulfonyl-terminal dendrimers were not. Our results show that these anionic dendrimers were accumulated in the lymph node where the association with immune cells could be controlled by the terminal structure of the dendrimer. The phosphate-terminal dendrimer can be used as a nanoplatform for the delivery of some bioactive molecules to some immune cells, including B cells, in the lymph node.

High Loading of Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Agents via Small Immunostimulatory Carrier for Enhanced Tumor Penetration and Combinational Therapy. Theranostics 2020; 10:1136-1150. [PMID: 31938056 PMCID: PMC6956803 DOI: 10.7150/thno.38287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2019] [Accepted: 10/05/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Development of small-sized nanoformulations for effective tumor penetration, particularly for those tumors with dense stroma is a major challenge in cancer nanomedicine. It is even more challenging to achieve effective co-loading of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic anticancer agents through a small-sized nanocarrier. In this work, we designed a novel redox-responsive gemcitabine (GEM)-conjugated polymer POEG-co-PVDGEM (PGEM) as a small-sized nanocarrier to co-deliver hydrophilic GEM and hydrophobic paclitaxel (PTX). Methods: The in vitro physicochemical and biological properties of PTX/PGEM NPs were characterized. The efficiency of the PGEM carrier in selective codelivery of GEM and PTX in two murine tumor models as well as a patient derived xenograft model (PDX) was also evaluated. In addition, we investigated the changes in tumor immune microenvironment after treatment with PTX/PGEM nanoparticles. Results: We discovered that GEM conjugation could significantly decrease the nanoparticle size from 160 nm to 13 nm. Moreover, different from most reported GEM-conjugated polymers, PGEM polymer could serve as a prodrug carrier to load a wide variety of hydrophobic agents with high drug loading capacity and excellent stability. More importantly, our strategy could be extended to various nucleotides-based drugs such as azacytidine, decitabine and cytarabine, suggesting a new platform for co-delivery of various first line hydrophilic and hydrophobic anticancer agents. Imaging showed that our small-sized carrier was much more effective in tumor accumulation and penetration compared to the relatively large-sized drug carrier. The PGEM prodrug-based carrier not only well retained the pharmacological activity of GEM, but also boosted T-cell immune response. Furthermore, delivery of PTX via PGEM led to significantly improved antitumor activity in several murine cancer models and a PDX model of colon cancer. Conclusion: This work not only provided a small-sized carrier platform that was able to load multiple hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs with high loading capacity, but also provided an effective regimen for enhanced tumor penetration and improved anti-tumor immunity.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in a variety of fields, including those related to consumer products, architecture, energy, and biomedicine. Once they enter the human body, NPs contact proteins in the blood and interact with cells in organs, which may induce cytotoxicity. Among the various factors of NP surface chemistry, surface charges, hydrophobicity levels and combinatorial decorations are found to play key roles inregulating typical cytotoxicity-related bioeffects, including protein binding, cellular uptake, oxidative stress, autophagy, inflammation, and apoptosis. In this review, we summarize the recent progress made in directing the levels and molecular pathways of these cytotoxicity-related effects by the purposeful design of NP surface charge, hydrophobicity, and combinatorial decorations.

Abstract
This contribution reviews the state of art on hybrid soft matter assemblies composed of inorganic nanoparticles (NP) and lamellar or non-lamellar lipid bilayers. After a short outline of the relevant energetic contributions, we address the interaction of NPs with synthetic lamellar bilayers, meant as cell membrane mimics. We then review the design of hybrid nanostructured materials composed of lipid bilayers and some classes of inorganic NPs, with particular emphasis on the effects on the amphiphilic phase diagram and on the additional properties contributed by the NPs. Then, we present the latest developments on the use of lipid bilayers as coating agents for inorganic NPs. Finally, we remark on the main achievements of the last years and our vision for the development of the field.

Abstract
We know surprisingly little about the long-term outcomes for nanomaterials interacting with organisms. To date, most of what we know is derived from in vivo studies that limit the range of materials studied and the scope of advanced molecular biology tools applied. Long-term in vitro nanoparticle studies are hampered by a lack of suitable models, as standard cell culture techniques present several drawbacks, while technical limitations render current three-dimensional (3D) cellular spheroid models less suited. Now, by controlling the kinetic processes of cell assembly and division in a non-Newtonian culture medium, we engineer reproducible cell clusters of controlled size and phenotype, leading to a convenient and flexible long-term 3D culture that allows nanoparticle studies over many weeks in an in vitro setting. We present applications of this model for the assessment of intracellular polymeric and silica nanoparticle persistence and found that hydrocarbon-based polymeric nanoparticles undergo no apparent degradation over long time periods with no obvious biological impact, while amorphous silica nanoparticles degrade at different rates over several weeks, depending on their synthesis method.

Abstract
Clinical translation of nanotechnologies has limited success, at least in part, due to the existence of several overlooked factors on the nature of the nanosystem (e.g., physicochemical properties of nanoparticles), nanobio interfaces (e.g., protein corona composition), and the cellular characteristics (e.g., cell type). In the past decade, several ignored factors including personalized and disease-specific protein corona (a layer of formed biomolecules at the surface of nanoparticles upon their entrance into a biological fluid), incubating temperature, local temperature gradient, cell shape, and cell sex has been introduced. Here, it was hypothesized and validated cell age as another overlooked factor in the field of nanomedicine. To test our hypothesis, cellular toxicity and uptake profiles of our model nanoparticles (i.e., PEGylated quantum dots, QDs) were probed in young and senescent cells (i.e., IMR90 fibroblast cells from human fetal lung and CCD841CoN epithelial cells from human fetal colon) and the outcomes revealed substantial dependency of cell-nanoparticles interactions to the cell age. For example, it was observed that the PEGylated QDs were acutely toxic to senescent IMR90 and CCD841CoN cells, leading to lysosomal membrane permeabilization which caused cell necrosis; in contrast, the young cells were resilient to the exact same amount of QDs and the same incubation time. It was also found that the formation of protein corona could delay the QDs' toxicity on senescent cells. These findings suggest that the cellular aging process have a capacity to cause deteriorative effects on their organelles and normal functions. The outcomes of this study suggest the proof-of-concept that cell age may have critical role in biosystem responses to nanoparticle technologies. Therefore, the effect of cell age should be carefully considered on the nanobio interactions and the information about cellular age (e.g., passage number and age of the cell donor) should be included in the nanomedicine papers to facilitate clinical translation of nanotechnologies and to help scientists to better design and produce safe and efficient diagnostic/therapeutic age-specific nanoparticles.

Abstract
Therapeutic biomacromolecules are confronted with in vivo challenges of low bio-stability and poor tumor tissue-penetration. Herein, we report for the first time, our development and characterization of a hybrid nanocomposite for delivering a Bcl-2-converting peptide (NuBCP9, N9 hereafter) and testing its efficacy alone or together with doxorubicin (DOX). The hybrid nanocomposite is composed of the internal large pore sized-mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and the external highly-branched polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers, into which N9 peptide and DOX were encapsulated for the different sub-cellular delivery to treat drug-resistant cancer. The nanocomposite possessed the particle and pore sizes of ~37 nm and ~8 nm, which displayed the superior tumor penetration capacity over naked MSNs both in cultured-3D tumor sphere and in live animal models. Moreover, the dual drug nanocomposite exhibited a great synergistic anticancer effect on Bcl-2-positive cancer cells in vitro and animals with the negligible toxic side effects. The tumor inhibition rate of the nanocomposite (89%) was five times as much as the two drugs combination. This design provides a new effective, safe and versatile strategy to fabricate large pore-sized MSNs with the organic-inorganic hybrid framework to concurrently transport therapeutic peptides and chemotherapeutics to the specific sub-cellular locations for the synergistic cancer therapy and drug resistance reversal, which has significant impact on the development of improved cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
While cells offer numerous inspiring examples in which membrane morphology and function are controlled by interactions with viruses or proteins, we still lack design principles for controlling membrane morphology in synthetic systems. With experiments and simulations, we show that spherical nanoparticles binding to lipid-bilayer membrane vesicles results in a remarkably rich set of collective morphologies that are controllable via the particle binding energy. We separately study cationic and anionic particles, where the adhesion is tuned by addition of oppositely charged lipids to the vesicles. When the binding energy is weak relative to a characteristic membrane-bending energy, vesicles adhere to one another and form a soft solid gel, a novel and useful platform for controlled release. With larger binding energy, a transition from partial to complete wrapping of the nanoparticles causes a remarkable vesicle destruction process culminating in rupture, nanoparticle-membrane tubules, and an apparent inversion of the vesicles. These findings help unify the diverse phenomena observed previously. They also open the door to a new class of vesicle-based, closed-cell gels that are more than 99% water and can encapsulate and release on demand, and show how to drive intentional membrane remodeling for shape-responsive systems.

Abstract
The development of an efficient delivery system for enhanced and controlled gene interference-based therapeutics is still facing great challenges. Fortunately, the flourishing field of nanotechnology provides more effective strategies for nucleic acid delivery. Here, the triplex-forming oligonucleotide sequence and its complementary strand were used to mediate self-assembly of ultrasmall gold nanoparticles. The obtained sunflower-like nanostructures exhibited strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption and photothermal conversion ability. Upon NIR irradiation, the large-sized nanostructure could disassemble and generate ultrasmall nanoparticles modified with c-myc oncogene silencing sequence, which could directly target the cell nucleus. Moreover, the controlled gene silencing effect could be realized by synergistically controlling the preincubation time with the self-assembled nanostructure (in vitro and in vivo) and NIR irradiation time point. This study provides a new approach for constructing more efficient and tailorable nanocarriers for gene interference applications.

Abstract
Currently, an enormous amount of cancer research based on two-dimensional nano-graphene oxide (GO), as well as zero-dimensional graphene quantum dots (GQDs), is being carried out in the fields of therapeutics and diagnostics. However, the exploration of their hybrid "functional" nanomaterials in the theranostic system is still rare. In the current study, a stable complex of GO and GQDs was formed by an electrostatic layer-by-layer assembly via a polyethylene imine bridge (GO-PEI-GQDs). Furthermore, we compared separate mono-equivalents of the GO-PEI-GQDs complex - GO and GQDs, in terms of cell imaging (diagnostics), photothermal, and oxidative stress response in breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231). GO-PEI-GQDs showed an excellent photothermal response (44-49 °C) upon 808 nm laser (0.5 W cm-2) exposure for 5 min at a concentration up to 50 μg/mL. We report new synergistic properties of GO-PEI-GQDs such as stable fluorescence imaging and enhanced photothermal and cytotoxic activities on cancer cells. Composite materials made up of GO and GQDs combining diverse properties help to study 2D-0D heterosystems and improve specific therapeutic systems in theranostics.

Abstract
The size effect on the cellular uptake of nanoparticles (NPs) has been extensively studied, but it is still not well understood. Herein, a reductionist approach is used to minimize all influencing factors except the particle size, and co-exposure of different-sized silica nanoparticles (SNPs) is adopted instead of the common single exposure. SNPs are found being internalized by Hela cells in serum-free medium mainly via clathrin-dependent endocytosis, thus simplifying the data analysis for reliable attribution to size effects. Remarkably, even though at conditions that the size effects seem very small or even undetectable in the common single exposure experiments, the co-exposure experiments reveal significant size effects due to an unexpected interplay between two different-sized SNPs. Namely, the bigger SNPs significantly promote the cellular uptake of the smaller ones, while the smaller SNPs inhibit the internalization of the bigger ones, with a total uptake increase of the particle number of SNPs in the cells. This strong interplay between different-sized NPs might unavoidably exist within most "single-sized" NP products, whose sizes actually distribute in certain ranges, thus urging reconsideration of the size effect on the cellular uptake of NPs, for the benefits of both bioapplications and safety assessment of nanomaterials.

Abstract
The latest advances concerning ultra-small gold nanoparticles (≤2 nm) commonly known as gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are reviewed and discussed in the context of biological and biomedical applications (labeling, delivery, imaging and therapy). A great diversity of synthetic methods has been developed and optimized aiming to improve the chemical structures and physicochemical properties of the resulting AuNCs. The main synthetic approaches were surveyed with emphasis on methods leading to water-soluble AuNCs since aqueous solutions are the preferred media for biological applications. The most representative and recent experimental results are discussed in relationship to their potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Herein, the cytotoxicity, cellular uptake and wound healing of human dermal fibroblasts were investigated upon treatment with gold nanorods (GNR) decorated with different ligands. Neutral and cationic poly ethylene glycol (PEG)-decorated GNR demonstrated the least cytotoxicity and cellular internalization, while anionic- and bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated GNR revealed significant cytotoxicity and cellular uptake into human dermal fibroblasts. The cell scratch test demonstrated that neutral, cationic PEGylated GNR and anionic-decorated GNR have accelerated the wound healing rate in vitro after 24 h of incubation with scratched human dermal fibroblasts compared to control, while there was a drastic retardation of wound healing rate of scratched fibroblasts upon exposure to BSA-GNR accompanied with a significant release of the inflammatory cytokine; interlukin-1β (IL-1β). The cytotoxicity of GNR against the dermal cells and their ability to enhance the wound healing in vitro are greatly linked to their surface modifications.

Abstract
Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) targeted radiosensitizers are developed for prostate cancer CT imaging and radiotherapy based on gold nanoparticles and a high-affinity targeting peptide, PSMA-1, revealing a size-dependent pattern.
Since the introduction of PSA testing, significantly more men have been diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer. Localized prostate cancer typically is treated with prostatectomy, however there is still a high risk of recurrence after surgery, and adjuvant radiation has been shown to mitigate disease progression. X-ray therapy is frequently used as an adjuvant to treat prostate cancer, but is an imperfect tool. In this report we describe the development of a targeted-radiosensitizing nanoparticle that significantly improves X-ray therapy. Taking advantage of the demonstrated radiosensitizing activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) we developed targeted AuNPs and varied both surface ligand density and AuNP size to develop an optimized AuNP for X-ray radiotherapy. We conjugated a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting ligand, PSMA-1, to AuNPs and found that the targeting ligand dramatically improved gold uptake by PSMA-expressing PC3pip cells compared with PC3flu cells lacking the PSMA receptors. Further, enhancement of radiotherapy was significantly more pronounced by internalization of smaller PSMA targeted-AuNPs. Our studies provide a foundation for design of size-selected AuNPs for targeted radiotherapy and, for the first time, systematically investigate both the effect of ligand and AuNP size on the cell uptake, tumor targeting and radiotherapy efficacy.

Abstract
It is currently recognized that perpetual cross talk among key players in tumor microenvironment such as cancer cells (CCs), cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and endothelial cells (ECs) plays a critical role in tumor progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance. Disruption of the cross talk may be useful to improve the outcome of therapeutics for which limited options are available. In the current study we investigate the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as a therapeutic tool to disrupt the multicellular cross talk within the TME cells with an emphasis on inhibiting angiogenesis. We demonstrate here that AuNPs disrupt signal transduction from TME cells (CCs, CAFs, and ECs) to ECs and inhibit angiogenic phenotypes in vitro. We show that conditioned media (CM) from ovarian CCs, CAFs, or ECs themselves induce tube formation and migration of ECs in vitro. Migration of ECs is also induced when ECs are cocultured with CCs, CAFs, or ECs. In contrast, CM from the cells treated with AuNPs or cocultured cells pretreated with AuNPs demonstrate diminished effects on ECs tube formation and migration. Mechanistically, AuNPs deplete ∼95% VEGF165 from VEGF single-protein solution and remove up to ∼45% of VEGF165 from CM, which is reflected on reduced activation of VEGF-Receptor 2 (VEGFR2) as compared to control CM. These results demonstrate that AuNPs inhibit angiogenesis via blockade of VEGF-VEGFR2 signaling from TME cells to endothelial cells.

Abstract
DNA is more than a carrier of genetic information: It is a highly versatile structural motif for the assembly of nanostructures, giving rise to a wide range of functionalities. In this regard, the structure programmability is the main advantage of DNA over peptides, proteins, and small molecules. DNA amphiphiles, in which DNA is covalently bound to synthetic hydrophobic moieties, allow interactions of DNA nanostructures with artificial lipid bilayers and cell membranes. These structures have seen rapid growth with great potential for medical applications. In this Review, the current state of the art of the synthesis of DNA amphiphiles and their assembly into nanostructures are first summarized. Next, an overview on the interaction of these DNA amphiphiles with membranes is provided, detailing on the driving forces and the stability of the interaction. Moreover, the interaction with cell surfaces in respect to therapeutics, biological sensing, and cell membrane engineering is highlighted. Finally, the challenges and an outlook on this promising class of DNA hybrid materials are discussed.

Abstract
Despite massive growth in nanomedicine research to date, the field still lacks fundamental understanding of how certain physical and chemical features of a nanoparticle affect its ability to overcome biological obstacles in vivo and reach its intended target. To gain fundamental understanding of how physical and chemical parameters affect the biological outcomes of administered nanoparticles, model systems that can systematically manipulate a single parameter with minimal influence on others are needed. Gold nanoparticles are particularly good model systems in this case as one can synthetically control the physical dimensions and surface chemistry of the particles independently and with great precision. Additionally, the chemical and physical properties of gold allow particles to be detected and quantified in tissues and cells with high sensitivity. Through systematic biological studies using gold nanoparticles, insights toward rationally designed nanomedicine for in vivo imaging and therapy can be obtained. This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) present in water or diet can be taken up by fish and accumulate in internal organs including the liver. However, their further fate in the organ is unknown. This study provides new insights into the interaction, uptake mechanism, intracellular trafficking, and fate of TiO2 NPs (Aeroxide® P25) in fish liver parenchymal cells (RTL-W1) in vitro using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) as complementary analytical techniques. The results demonstrate that following their uptake via caveolae-mediated endocytosis, TiO2 NPs were trafficked through different intracellular compartments including early endosomes, multivesicular bodies, and late endosomes/endo-lysosomes, and eventually concentrated inside multilamellar vesicles. TEM and spICP-MS results provide evidence that uptake was nano-specific. Only NPs/NP agglomerates of a specific size range (~ 30-100 nm) were endocytosed; larger agglomerates were excluded from uptake and remained located in the extracellular space/exposure medium. NP number and mass inside cells increased linearly with time and was associated with an increase in particle diameter suggesting intracellular agglomeration/aggregation. No alterations in the expression of genes regulated by the redox balance-sensitive transcription factor Nrf-2 including superoxide dismutase, glutamyl cysteine ligase, glutathione synthetase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione S-transferase were observed. This shows that, despite the high intracellular NP burden (~ 3.9 × 102 ng Ti/mg protein after 24 h) and NP-interaction with mitochondria, cellular redox homeostasis was not significantly affected. This study contributes to a better mechanistic understanding of in vitro particokinetics as well as the potential fate and effects of TiO2 NPs in fish liver cells.

Abstract
Rational nanomaterial design is urgently demanded for new nanomaterial development with desired properties. However, computational nanomaterial modeling and virtual nanomaterial screening are not applicable for this purpose due to the complexity of nanomaterial structures. To address this challenge, a new computational workflow is established in this study to virtually profile nanoparticles by (1) constructing a structurally diverse virtual gold nanoparticle (GNP) library and (2) developing novel universal nanodescriptors. The emphasis of this study is the second task by developing geometrical nanodescriptors that are suitable for the quantitative modeling of GNPs and virtual screening purposes. The feasibility, rigor and applicability of this novel computational method are validated by testing seven GNP datasets consisting of 191 unique GNPs of various nano-bioactivities and physicochemical properties. The high predictability of the developed GNP models suggests that this workflow can be used as a universal tool for nanomaterial profiling and rational nanomaterial design.

Abstract
Colloidal CdSe/ZnS quantum dots were water solubilized by overcoating with an amphiphilic polymer. Human serum albumin (HSA) as a model protein was either adsorbed or chemically linked to the surface of the polymer-coated quantum dots. As the quantum dots are intrinsically fluorescent, and as the polymer coating and the HSA were fluorescent labeled, the final nanoparticle had three differently fluorescent components: the quantum dot core, the polymer shell, and the human serum albumin corona. Cells were incubated with these hybrid nanoparticles, and after removal of non-internalized nanoparticles, exocytosis of the three components of the nanoparticles was observed individually by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. The data indicate that HSA is partly transported with the underlying polymer-coated quantum dots into cells. Upon desorption of proteins, those initially adsorbed to the quantum dots remain longer inside cells compared to free proteins. Part of the polymer shell is released from the quantum dots by enzymatic degradation, which is on a slower time scale than protein desorption. Data are quantitatively analyzed, and experimental pitfalls, such as the impact of cell proliferation and fluorescence quenching, are discussed.

Abstract
Emulsions are dynamic materials that have been extensively employed within pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. However, their use beyond conventional applications has been hindered by difficulties in surface functionalization, and an inability to selectively control physicochemical properties. Here, we employ custom poly(2-oxazoline) block copolymers to overcome these limitations. We demonstrate that poly(2-oxazoline) copolymers can effectively stabilize nanoscale droplets of hydrocarbon and perfluorocarbon in water. The controlled living polymerization of poly(2-oxazoline)s allows for the incorporation of chemical handles into the surfactants such that covalent modification of the emulsion surface can be performed. Through post-emulsion modification of these new surfactants, we are able to access nanoemulsions with modified surface chemistries, yet consistent sizes. By decoupling size and surface charge, we explore structure-activity relationships involving the cellular uptake of nanoemulsions in both macrophage and non-macrophage cell lines. We conclude that the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of poly(2-oxazoline)-stabilized droplets can be systematically tuned via chemical modification of emulsion surfaces.

Abstract
It is generally known that, for nanoparticles in cancer therapy, sufficient tumor penetration needs a minor particle size, while long in vivo circulation time needs a larger particle size. It is hard to balance them because they are standing on either side of a seesaw. To address these two different requirements, a dual-responsive size-shrinking nanocluster can self-adaptively respond to a complicated tumor microenvironment and transform its particulate property to overcome sequential in vivo barriers and reach a preferable antitumor activity. The nanocluster (RPSPT@SNCs) could preferentially accumulate into tumor tissue and dissociate under extracellular matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) to release small-sized micelle formulations (RPSPTs). RPSPT possesses favorable tumor penetration and tumor targeting capability to deliver the antitumor agent paclitaxel (PTX) into deep regions of solid tumor. The intracellular redox microenvironment can also accelerate drug accumulation. The prepared RPSPT@SNCs possesses enhanced cell cytotoxicity and tumor penetration capability on MCF-7 cells and a favorable antitumor activity on the xenograft tumor mouse model.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based therapeutics and diagnostics are commonly referred to as nanomedicine and may significantly impact the future of healthcare. However, the clinical translation of these technologies is challenging. One of these challenges is the efficient delivery of nanoparticles to specific cell populations and subcellular targets in the body to elicit desired biological and therapeutic responses. It is critical for researchers to understand the fundamental concepts of how nanoparticles interact with biological systems to predict and control in vivo nanoparticle transport for improved clinical benefit. In this overview article, we review and discuss cellular internalization pathways, summarize the field`s understanding of how nanoparticle physicochemical properties affect cellular interactions, and explore and discuss intracellular nanoparticle trafficking and kinetics. Our overview may provide a valuable resource for researchers and may inspire new studies to expand our current understanding of nanotechnology-biology interactions at cellular and subcellular levels with the goal to improve clinical translation of nanomedicines.

Abstract

Engineered
biomedical nanoparticles (NPs) administered via intravenous
routes are prone to associate to serum proteins. The protein corona
can mask the NP surface functionalization and hamper the delivery
of the NP to its biological target. The design of corona-free NPs
relies on our understanding of the chemical-physical features of the
NP surface driving the interaction with serum proteins. Here, we address,
by computational means, the interaction between human serum albumin
(HSA) and a prototypical monolayer-protected Au nanoparticle. We show
that both the chemical composition (charge, hydrophobicity) and the
conformational preferences of the ligands decorating the NP surface
affect the NP propensity to bind HSA.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of nanocarriers for drug delivery, owing to their tunable chemical functionality. Here we report ATP-responsive zeolitic imidazole framework-90 (ZIF-90) as a general platform for cytosolic protein delivery and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. The self-assembly of imidazole-2-carboxaldehyde and Zn2+ with protein forms ZIF-90/protein nanoparticles and efficiently encapsulates protein. It was found that, in the presence of ATP, the ZIF-90/protein nanoparticles are degraded to release protein due to the competitive coordination between ATP and the Zn2+ of ZIF-90. Intracellular delivery studies showed that the ZIF-90/protein nanoparticle can deliver a large variety of proteins into the cytosol, regardless of protein size and molecular weight. The delivery of cytotoxic RNase A efficiently prohibits tumor cell growth, while the effective delivery of genome-editing protein Cas9 knocks out the green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression of HeLa cells with efficiency up to 35%. Given the fact that ATP is upregulated in disease cells, it is envisaged that the ATP-responsive protein delivery will open up new opportunities for an advanced protein delivery and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing for targeted disease treatment.

Abstract
Understanding the interactions between surface-functionalized gold nanoparticles (NPs) and lipid bilayers is necessary to guide the design of NPs for biomedical applications. Recent experiments found that cationic NPs adsorb more strongly to phase-separated multicomponent lipid bilayers than single-component liquid-disordered bilayers, suggesting that phase separation affects NP-bilayer interactions. In this work, we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effect of lipid phase behavior on the adsorption of small cationic NPs. We first determined the free energy change for adsorbing a NP to one-phase liquid-disordered and one-phase liquid-ordered bilayers. The simulations indicate that NP adsorption depends on a competition between favorable NP-lipid interactions and the unfavorable curvature deformation of the bilayer, resulting in stronger interactions with the liquid-disordered bilayer due to its lower bending modulus. We then measured the free energy change associated with moving a NP across the surface of a phase-separated bilayer and identified a free energy minimum at the phase boundary. The free energy minimum is attributed to the thickness gradient between the two phases that enables favorable NP-lipid interactions without necessitating large curvature deformations. The simulation results thus indicate that the intrinsic curvature present at phase boundaries drives preferential interactions with surface-adsorbed NPs, providing new insight into the forces that drive NP behavior at multicomponent, phase-separated lipid bilayers.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal transformation of prodrugs and profluorophores using transition metal catalysts (TMCs) offers a promising strategy for therapeutic and imaging applications. Here, we report the surface engineering of nanoparticles to specifically localize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with encapsulated TMCs (nanozymes) to either the inside or outside of cells. The ability to control nanozyme localization and hence activity was demonstrated by the activation of pro-fluorophores and prodrugs intra- and extracellularly, establishing the potential of engineered nanozyme platforms for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are promising biomedical tools with applications in diagnosis and therapy, thanks to their biocompatibility and versatility. Here we show how the NP surface functionalization can drive the mechanism of interaction with lipid membranes. In particular, we show that the spontaneous protonation of anionic carboxylic groups on the NP surface can make the NP-membrane interaction faster and less disruptive. The interaction between anionic Au nanoparticles and model lipid membranes is facilitated by the spontaneous protonation of the NP ligand carboxylate groups, COO−˙ → COOH, in the lipid headgroup region.![]()

Abstract
Localised extracellular interactions between nanoparticles and transmembrane signal receptors may well activate cancer cell growth. Herein, tiny LaF3 and PrF3 nanoparticles in DMEM+FBS suspensions stimulated tumour cell growth in three different human cell lines (A549, SW837 and MCF7). Size distribution of nanoparticles, activation of AKT and ERK signalling pathways and viability tests pointed to mechanical stimulation of ligand adhesion binding sites of integrins and EGFR via a synergistic action of an ensemble of tiny size nanoparticles (< 10 nm). While tiny size nanoparticles may be well associated with the activation of EGFR, integrin interplay with nanoparticles remains a multifaceted issue. A theoretical motif shows that, within the requisite pN force scale, each ligand adhesion binding site can be activated by a tiny size dielectric nanoparticle via electrical dipole interaction. The size of the active nanoparticle stayed specified by the amount of the surface charges on the ligand adhesion binding site and the nanoparticle, and also by the separating distance between them. The polar component of the electrical dipole force remained inversely proportional to the second power of nanoparticle's size, evincing that only tiny size dielectric nanoparticles might stimulate cancer cell growth via electrical dipole interactions. The work contributes towards recognising different cytoskeletal stressing modes of cancer cells.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanoparticles, such as quantum dots, hold great potential for biomedical applications, mainly sensing and bioimaging. However, the inefficient cell uptake of some nanoparticles hampers their application in clinical practice. Here, the effect of the modification of the quantum dot surface with fluorinated ligands to increase their surface activity and, thus, enhance their cellular uptake was explored.

Abstract
Two decades ago successful transfection of antigen presenting cells (APC) in vivo was demonstrated which resulted in the induction of primary adaptive immune responses. Due to the good biocompatibility of plasmid DNA, their cost-efficient production and long shelf life, many researchers aimed to develop DNA vaccine-based immunotherapeutic strategies for treatment of infections and cancer, but also autoimmune diseases and allergies. This review aims to summarize our current knowledge on the course of action of DNA vaccines, and which factors are responsible for the poor immunogenicity in human so far. Important optimization steps that improve DNA transfection efficiency comprise the introduction of DNA-complexing nano-carriers aimed to prevent extracellular DNA degradation, enabling APC targeting, and enhanced endo/lysosomal escape of DNA. Attachment of virus-derived nuclear localization sequences facilitates nuclear entry of DNA. Improvements in DNA vaccine design include the use of APC-specific promotors for transcriptional targeting, the arrangement of multiple antigen sequences, the co-delivery of molecular adjuvants to prevent tolerance induction, and strategies to circumvent potential inhibitory effects of the vector backbone. Successful clinical use of DNA vaccines may require combined employment of all of these parameters, and combination treatment with additional drugs.

Abstract
We report on the ability of a chemically synthesized anticancer peptide, SVS-1, to promote the rapid uptake of gold nanorods (AuNRs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by live HeLa cells. For this, AuNPs and AuNRs, surface ligated with a multicoordinating polymer that presents several amine groups per ligand, are simultaneously reacted with SVS-1 and Texas-Red dye; the latter allows fluorescence visualization of the nanocrystals. Using epifluorescence microscopy, we find that incubation of the SVS-1-conjugated AuNPs and AuNRs with a model cancer cell line yields extended staining throughout the cell cytoplasm, even at low conjugate concentrations (∼0.1 nM). Furthermore, uptake is specific to the SVS-1-conjugated nanocrystals. Additional endocytosis inhibition experiments, where cells have been incubated with the conjugates at 4 °C or in the presence of endocytic inhibitors, show that significant levels of conjugate uptake persist. These results combined indicate an uptake mechanism that does not necessarily rely on endocytosis, a promising finding with implications for the use of nanomaterials in the field of biology and nanomedicine.

Abstract
The physicochemical properties of a set of 21 different gold nanoparticles (spherical and rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs) of different diameters with three different surface coatings) were studied. Protein corona formation, in vitro uptake, effect on cell viability and proliferation, and in vivo biodistribution of these NPs were determined. The relation of the results of the different NPs was analyzed by hierarchical cluster analysis, which will tell which NPs have the most similar physicochemical properties and biological effects, without having to specify individual physicochemical parameters. The results show that the physicochemical properties of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are mainly accounted for by their hydrodynamic diameter and their zeta-potential. The formation of the protein corona is determined by the pH-dependence of their zeta-potential. While several reports found that in vitro uptake and in vivo biodistribution of NPs are correlated to individual physicochemical parameters, e. g., size, shape, or surface chemistry, such direct dependence in the investigated multidimensional set of NPs was not found in our study. This most likely is due to entanglement of the different parameters, which complicates the prediction of the biological effect of NPs in case multiple physicochemical properties are simultaneously varied. The in vitro uptake and in vivo biodistribution of NPs seem to be not directly driven by the protein corona, but the physicochemical properties determine as well the corona as they influence in vitro/ in vivo behaviors, and thus the effect of the protein corona would be rather indirect.

Abstract
We utilized size-tunable gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to investigate the toxicogenomic responses of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. We demonstrated that the nematode C. elegans can uptake Au NPs coated with or without 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA), and Au NPs are detectable in worm intestines using X-ray microscopy and confocal optical microscopy. After Au NP exposure, C. elegans neurons grew shorter axons, which may have been related to the impeded worm locomotion behavior detected. Furthermore, we determined that MUA to Au ratios of 0.5, 1 and 3 reduced the worm population by more than 50% within 72 hours. In addition, these MUA to Au ratios reduced the worm body size, thrashing frequency (worm mobility) and brood size. MTT assays were employed to analyze the viability of cultured C. elegans primary neurons exposed to MUA-Au NPs. Increasing the MUA to Au ratios increasingly reduced neuronal survival. To understand how developmental changes (after MUA-Au NP treatment) are related to changes in gene expression, we employed DNA microarray assays and identified changes in gene expression (e.g., clec-174 (involved in cellular defense), cut-3 and fil-1 (both involved in body morphogenesis), dpy-14 (expressed in embryonic neurons), and mtl-1 (functions in metal detoxification and homeostasis)).
