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
Insulin would undergo unfolding and fibrillation under stressed conditions, which may cause serious biotechnological and medical problems. Herein, by mimicking the structure and functions of natural chaperones HSP70s, self-assembled polymeric micelles are used as nanochaperones for the delivery of insulin. The confined hydrophobic domains on the surface of nanochaperones adsorb partially unfolded insulin, inhibiting the aggregation and fibrillation and enhancing the stability of insulin. The bioactivity of insulin is well-reserved after incubation with the nanochaperones at 37 °C for 7 d or heating at 70 °C for 1 h. The stealthy poly(ethylene glycol) chains around the confined domains protect the adsorbed insulin from enzymatic degradation and prolong the circulation time. More importantly, the excellent glucose sensitivity of the hydrophobic domains enables the nanochaperones to release and refold insulin in native form in response to hyperglycemia. This kind of nanochaperone may offer a hopeful strategy for the protection and delivery of insulin.

Abstract
Compared to a plasmid, viral, and other delivery systems, direct Cas9/sgRNA protein delivery has several advantages such as low off-targeting effects and non-integration, but it still has limitations due to low transfer efficiency. As such, the CRISPR/Cas9 system is being developed in combination with nano-carrier technology to enhance delivery efficiency and biocompatibility. We designed a microbubble-nanoliposomal particle as a Cas9/sgRNA riboprotein complex carrier, which effectively facilitates local delivery to a specific site when agitated by ultrasound activation. In practice, we successfully transferred the protein constructs into dermal papilla cells in the hair follicle of androgenic alopecia animals by microbubble cavitation induced sonoporation of our particle. The delivered Cas9/sgRNA recognized and edited specifically the target gene with high efficiency in vitro and in vivo, thus recovering hair growth. We demonstrated the topical application of ultrasound-activated nanoparticles for androgenic alopecia therapy through the suppression of SRD5A2 protein production by CRISPR-based genomic editing.

Abstract
Nanogels have been applied in protein delivery due to the nanoscale sizes and the crosslinked structures. However, the release of protein molecules from the nanogels without damages to the structures and functionalities is quite a challenging research subject. In this research, responsive self-immolative linker dithioethyl carbamate bond is introduced to connect protein and polymer in the nanogel so that traceless release of protein occurs upon addition of glutathione (GSH) or dithiothreitol (DTT). Thermoresponsive polymer poly(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate-co-2-(2-(2-hydroxyethyl) disulfanyl) ethyl methacrylate) was synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, and was modified with 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate yielding polymer chains with pendant dithioethyl carbonate groups. The dithioethyl carbonate groups were reacted with amine groups of lipases resulting in the formation of dithioethyl carbamate bonds. Meanwhile, biohybrid nanogels were prepared by crosslinking the polymer chains with lipases. The immobilized lipase in the nanogels exhibited enhanced heat and acid resistance. Once the nanogels were treated with GSH or DTT, lipase could be released with no residual groups and most of its bioactivity was recovered.

Abstract
An important arena of the sophisticated nanosystems (NSs) is the combination of the responsive features of NSs with the biocatalytic properties of enzymes. The development of such smart drug delivery systems (DDSs) has seminal effectiveness in targeting, imaging, and monitoring of cancer. These NSs can exhibit site-specific delivery of the toxic cargo in response to the endogenous/exogenous stimuli. Enzyme responsive/targeted DDSs display enhanced accumulation of cargo molecules in the tumor microenvironment (TME) with a spatiotemporal controlled-release behavior. Based on the unique features of enzyme responsive/targeted DDSs, they offer incredible promise in overcoming some limitations of the currently used conventional DDSs. Taken all, targeting TME with the enzyme-responsive targeted DDSs may lead to versatile clinical outcomes in various malignancies.

Abstract
Protein/antibody therapeutics have exhibited the advantages of high specificity and activity even at an extremely low concentration compared to small molecule drugs. However, they are accompanied by unfavorable physicochemical properties such as fragile tertiary structure, large molecular size, and poor penetration of the membrane, and thus the clinical use of protein drugs is hindered by inefficient delivery of proteins into the host cells. To overcome the challenges associated with protein therapeutics and enhance their biopharmaceutical applications, various protein-loaded nanocarriers with desired functions, such as lipid nanocapsules, polymeric nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, and peptides, are developed. In this review, the different strategies for intracellular delivery of proteins are comprehensively summarized. Their designed routes, mechanisms of action, and potential therapeutics in live cells or in vivo are discussed in detail. Furthermore, the perspective on the new generation of delivery systems toward the emerging area of protein-based therapeutics is presented as well.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint degenerative disease that causes pain, joint damage, and dysfunction. External hyaluronic acid (HA) supplement is a common method for the management of osteoarthritis which requires multi-injections. It is demonstrated that biodegradable mesoporous silica nanoparticles successfully deliver an enzyme, hyaluronan synthase type 2 (HAS2), into synoviocytes from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and generate endogenous HA with high molecular weights. In a rat TMJ osteoarthritis inflammation model, this strategy promotes endogenous HA production and inhibits the synovial inflammation of OA for more than 3 weeks with one-shot administration. Such nanotherapy also helps repairing the bone defects in a rat OA bone defect model.

Abstract
Mesoporous aluminum oxide (MAO) films with perpendicularly oriented cylindrical mesopores (pore diameter: ca. 10 nm) were successfully deposited on a glass substrate by a surfactant-templating approach using aluminum nitrate as an aluminum source. The perpendicular orientation of mesopores was confirmed by grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering and neutron reflection experiments. The thickness of the MAO film was around 100 nm, with a surface roughness of less than 6 nm. Since the inner surface of MAO pores was positively charged, negatively charged glucose oxidase molecules could be densely loaded into the cylindrical mesopores without significant loss of enzymatic activity. The present MAO film is potentially useful as an inorganic host material for an enzyme toward the development of a biocatalytic system.

Abstract
In molecular cancer therapeutics only 10% of known cancer gene products are targetable with current pharmacological agents. Major oncogenic drivers, such as MYC and KRAS proteins are frequently highly overexpressed or mutated in multiple human malignancies. However, despite their key role in oncogenesis, these proteins are hard to target with traditional small molecule drugs due to their large, featureless protein interfaces and lack of deep pockets. In addition, they are inaccessible to large biologicals, which are unable to cross cell membranes. Designer interference peptides (iPeps) represent emerging pharmacological agents created to block selective interactions between protein partners that are difficult to target with conventional small molecule chemicals or with large biologicals. iPeps have demonstrated successful inhibition of multiple oncogenic drivers with some now entering clinical settings. However, the clinical translation of iPeps has been hampered by certain intrinsic limitations including intracellular localization, targeting tissue specificity and pharmacological potency. Herein, we outline recent advances for the selective inhibition of major cancer oncoproteins via iPep approaches and discuss the development of multimodal peptides to overcome limitations of the first generations of iPeps. Since many protein–protein interfaces are cell-type specific, this approach opens the door to novel programmable, precision medicine tools in cancer research and treatment for selective manipulation and reprogramming of the cancer cell oncoproteome.

Cancer Lett 2019; 469:340-354. [PMID: 31629930 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2019.10.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2019] [Revised: 10/09/2019] [Accepted: 10/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
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
Background Externally triggered drug delivery systems hold considerable promise for improving the treatment of many diseases, in particular, diseases where the spatial–temporal release of the drug is critical to maximize their biological effect whilst minimizing undesirable, off-target, side effects. Results Herein, we developed a light-triggerable formulation that takes advantage of host–guest chemistry to complex drugs functionalized with a guest molecule and release it after exposure to near infrared (NIR) light due to the disruption of the non-covalent host–guest interactions. The system is composed by a gold nanorod (AuNR), which generates plasmonic heat after exposure to NIR, a thin layer of hyaluronic acid immobilized to the AuNR upon functionalization with a macrocycle, cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]), and a drug functionalized with a guest molecule that interacts with the macrocycle. For proof of concept, we have used this formulation for the intracellular release of a derivative of retinoic acid (RA), a molecule known to play a key role in tissue development and homeostasis as well as during cancer treatment. We showed that the formulation was able to conjugate approximately 65 μg of RA derivative per mg of CB[6] @AuNR and released it within a few minutes after exposure to a NIR laser. Importantly, the bioactivity of RA released from the formulation was demonstrated in a reporter cell line expressing luciferase under the control of the RA receptor. Conclusions This NIR light-triggered supramolecular-based modular platform holds great promise for theranostic applications.

Abstract
Responsive delivery of anticancer proteins into cells is an emerging field in biological therapeutics. Currently, the delivery of proteins is highly compromised by multiple successive physiological barriers that reduce the therapeutic efficacy. Hence, there is a need to design a robust and sustainable nanocarrier to provide suitable protection of proteins and overcome the physiological barriers for better cellular accumulation. In this work, polyethylenimine (PEI) cross-linked by oxaliplatin(IV) prodrug (oxliPt(IV)) was used to fabricate a redox-responsive nanocomplex (PEI-oxliPt(IV)@RNBC/GOD) for the delivery of a reactive oxygen species-cleavable, reversibly caged RNase A protein (i.e., RNase A nitrophenylboronic conjugate, RNBC) and glucose oxidase (GOD) in order to realize efficient cancer treatment. The generation of hydrogen peroxide by GOD can uncage and restore the enzymatic activity of RNBC. On account of the responsiveness of the nanocomplex to highly reducing cellular environment, it would dissociate and release the protein and active oxaliplatin drug, causing cell death by both catalyzing RNA degradation and inhibiting DNA synthesis. As assessed by the RNA degradation assay, the activity of the encapsulated RNBC was recovered by the catalytic production of hydrogen peroxide from GOD and glucose substrate overexpressed in cancer cells. Monitoring of the changes in nanoparticle size confirmed that the nanocomplex could dissociate in the reducing environment, with the release of active oxaliplatin drug and protein. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and flow cytometry analysis revealed highly efficient accumulation of the nanocomplex as compared to free native proteins. In vitro cytotoxicity experiments using 4T1 cancer cells showed ∼80% cell killing efficacy, with highly efficient apoptosis induction. Assisted by the cationic polymeric carrier, it was evident from CLSM images that intracellular delivery of the therapeutic protein significantly depleted the RNA level. Thus, this work provides a promising platform for the delivery of therapeutic proteins and chemotherapeutic drugs for efficient cancer treatment.

Abstract
The development of a facile protein delivery vehicle is challenging and remains an unmet demand for clinical applications. The well-defined structure and functionality of a nanocarrier are highly desirable for the reproducibility and regulatory compliance. Herein, we report for the first time a novel Janus dendrimer (JD) system, comprised of two distinct dendrons with superior protein binding and protein repelling properties, respectively, for efficient spontaneous protein loading and enhanced in vivo protein delivery. Core-forming dendron is tethered with a combination of charged and hydrophobic moieties, which coat protein surface efficiently via the multivalent and synergistic interactions. Zwitterionic peripheries on the counter dendron endow the nanoparticle (<20 nm) with a highly hydrophilic and antifouling surface, which efficiently prevents serum protein adsorption and exchange as demonstrated in biolayer interferometry assay, therefore, reducing premature protein release. Surprisingly, JD nanocarriers containing biomimicking glycerylphosphorylcholine (GPC) surface significantly enhanced the intracellular uptake of protein therapeutics specifically in cancer cells, compared with zwitterionic carboxybetain (CB)-JD and PEGylated nanocarriers. The zwitterionic JD nanocarriers greatly prolonged the in vivo pharmacokinetic profiles of payloads relative to the PEGylated nanocarriers. Janus nanocarrier controlled the in vivo release of insulin and improved the blood sugar control in mice.

Abstract
Construction of polymer-protein nanoassemblies is a challenge as reactions between macromolecules, especially those involving proteins, are inherently inefficient due to the sparse reactive functional groups and low concentration requirements. We address this challenge using an ultrafast and reversible click reaction, which forms the basis for a covalent self-assembly strategy between side-chain functionalized polymers and surface-modified proteins. The linkers in the assembly have been programmed to release the incarcerated proteins in its native form, only when subjected to the presence of a specific trigger. The generality and the versatility of the approach have been demonstrated by showing that this strategy can be used for proteins of different sizes and isoelectric points. Moreover, simple modifications in the linker chemistry offers the ability to trigger these assemblies with various chemical inputs. Efficient formation of nanoassemblies based on polymer-protein conjugates has implications in a variety of areas at the interface of chemistry with materials and biology, such as in the generation of active surfaces and in delivery of biologics. As a demonstration of utility in the latter, we have shown that these conjugates can be used to transport functional proteins across cellular membranes.

Abstract
Efficient delivery of therapeutics across the cell membrane to the interior of the cell remains a challenge both in vitro and in vivo. Here, we demonstrate that vesicles derived from cellular membranes can be efficiently loaded with cargo that can then be delivered to the interior of the cell. These vesicles demonstrated cell-targeting specificity as well as the ability to deliver a wide range of different cargos. We utilized this approach to deliver both lipophilic and hydrophilic cargos including therapeutics and DNA in vitro. We further demonstrated in vivo targeting and delivery using fluorescently labeled vesicles to target tumor xenografts in an animal. Cell-derived vesicles can be generated in high yields and are easily loaded with a variety of cargos. The ability of these vesicles to specifically target the same cell type from which they originated provides an efficient means of delivering cargo, such as therapeutics, both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Seeking a versatile nanoplatform for multimodal nucleus imaging and therapy is a challenging task. General complementary bottom-up bionanotechnology for controlling a 3D supramolecular coassembly is proposed. The dual engineering interface proof-of-concept of the supramolecular architecture can be demonstrated via a genetically engineered protein dimer and plasmonically engineered graphene oxide (GO). Incorporation of anisotropic plasmonic nanoparticles as an intercalation layer among the GO 3D supramolecular architecture can provide covalent conjugation sites and simultaneously endow tunable optical properties of GO, ranging from the ultraviolet-to-near-infrared region. Interestingly, the precise design of a specific two-site mutation of the plasmid is favorable for giving an organized coassembly instead of random networks of GO, which contributes to giving continuous distinguishable enhanced Raman imaging for tracking cancer cells. Unexpectedly, penetration into the cell nucleus via the submicro 3D supramolecular coassembly exhibits an excellent nucleus therapeutic potential of cancer cells.

Abstract
The clustered, regularly-interspaced, short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated nuclease 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) is emerging as a promising genome-editing tool for treating diseases in a precise way, and has been applied to a wide range of research in the areas of biology, genetics, and medicine. Delivery of therapeutic genome-editing agents provides a promising platform for the treatment of genetic disorders. Although viral vectors are widely used to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 elements with high efficiency, they suffer from several drawbacks, such as mutagenesis, immunogenicity, and off-target effects. Recently, non-viral vectors have emerged as another class of delivery carriers in terms of their safety, simplicity, and flexibility. In this review, we discuss the modes of CRISPR/Cas9 delivery, the barriers to the delivery process and the application of CRISPR/Cas9 system for the treatment of genetic disorders. We also highlight several representative types of non-viral vectors, including polymers, liposomes, cell-penetrating peptides, and other synthetic vectors, for the therapeutic delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 system. The applications of CRISPR/Cas9 in treating genetic disorders mediated by the non-viral vectors are also discussed.

Abstract
The intracellular delivery and functionalization of genetic molecules play critical roles in gene-based theranostics. In particular, the delivery of plasmid DNA (pDNA) with safe nonviral vectors for efficient intracellular gene expression has received increasing attention; however, it still has some limitations. A facile one-pot method is employed to encapsulate pDNA into zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) and ZIF-8-polymer vectors via biomimetic mineralization and coprecipitation. The pDNA molecules are found to be well distributed inside both nanostructures and benefit from their protection against enzymatic degradation. Moreover, through the use of a polyethyleneimine (PEI) 25 kD capping agent, the nanostructures exhibit enhanced loading capacity, better pH responsive release, and stronger binding affinity to pDNA. From in vitro experiments, the cellular uptake and endosomal escape of the protected pDNA are greatly improved with the superior ZIF-8-PEI 25 kD vector, leading to successful gene expression with high transfection efficacy, comparable to expensive commercial agents. New cost-effective avenues to develop metal-organic-framework-based nonviral vectors for efficient gene delivery and expression are provided.

Abstract
In this review, we highlight the recent progress in our understanding of the structure, properties and applications of protein-polyelectrolyte complexes in both bulk and micellar assemblies. Protein-polyelectrolyte complexes form the basis of the genetic code, enable facile protein purification, and have emerged as enterprising candidates for simulating protocellular environments and as efficient enzymatic bioreactors. Such complexes undergo self-assembly in bulk due to a combined influence of electrostatic interactions and entropy gains from counterion release. Diversifying the self-assembly by incorporation of block polyelectrolytes has further enabled fabrication of protein-polyelectrolyte complex micelles that are multifunctional carriers for therapeutic targeted delivery of proteins such as enzymes and antibodies. We discuss research efforts focused on the structure, properties and applications of protein-polyelectrolyte complexes in both bulk and micellar assemblies, along with the influences of amphoteric nature of proteins accompanying patchy distribution of charges leading to unique phenomena including multiple complexation windows and complexation on the wrong side of the isoelectric point.

Abstract
The intracellular delivery of biomolecules is of significant importance yet challenging. In addition to the conventional delivery of nanomaterials that rely on biochemical pathways, vertical nanowires have been recently proposed to physically penetrate the cell membrane, thus enabling the direct release of biomolecules into the cytoplasm circumventing endosomal routes. However, due to the inherent attachment of the nanowires to a planar 2D substrate, nanowire cell penetrations are restricted to in vitro applications, and they are incapable of providing solution-based delivery. To overcome this structural limitation, we created polyethylenimine-functionalized microparticles covered with nanospikes, namely, "spiky particles", to deliver biomolecules by utilizing the nanospikes to penetrate the cell membrane. The nanospikes might penetrate the cell membrane during particle engulfment, and this enables the bound biomolecules to be released directly into the cytosol. TiO2 spiky particles were fabricated through hydrothermal routes, and they were demonstrated to be biocompatible with HeLa cells, macrophage-like RAW cells, and fibroblast-like 3T3-L1 cells. The polyethylenimine-functionalized spiky particles provided direct delivery of fluorescent siRNA into cell cytosol and functional siRNA for gene knockdown as well as successful DNA plasmid transfection which were difficult to achieve by using microparticles without nanospikes. The spiky particles presented a unique direct cell membrane penetrant vehicle to introduce biomolecules into cell cytosol, where the biomolecules might bypass conventional endocytic degradation routes.

Abstract
An emerging focus in nanomedicine is the exploration of multifunctional nanocomposite materials that integrate stimuli-responsive, therapeutic, and/or diagnostic functions. In this effort, cysteine-rich proteins have drawn considerable attention as a versatile platform due to their good biodegradability, biocompatibility, and ease of chemical modification. This review surveys cysteine-rich protein-based biomedical materials, including protein-metal nanohybrids, gold nanoparticle-protein agglomerates, protein-based nanoparticles, and hydrogels, with an emphasis on their preparation methods, especially those based on the cysteine residue-related reactions. Their applications in tumor-targeted drug delivery and diagnostics are highlighted.

Abstract
Direct delivery of proteins into mammalian cells is a challenging problem in biological and biomedical applications. The most common strategies for the delivery of proteins into the cells include the use of cell-penetrating peptides or supercharged proteins. Herein, we show for the first time that a single atom change, hydrogen to halogen, at one of the tyrosine residues can increase the cellular entry of ∼28 kDa green fluorescent protein (GFP) in mammalian cells. The protein uptake is facilitated by a receptor-mediated endocytosis and the cargo can be released effectively into cytosol by co-treatment with the endosomolytic peptide ppTG21.

Abstract
Therapeutic proteins are widely used in clinic for numerous therapies such as cancer therapy, immune therapy, diabetes management and infectious diseases control. The low stability and large size of proteins generally compromise their therapeutic effects. Thus, it is a big challenge to deliver active forms of proteins into targeted place in a controlled manner. Nanoparticle based delivery systems offer a promising method to address the challenges. In particular, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are of special interest for protein delivery due to their excellent biocompatibility, high stability, rigid framework, well-defined pore structure, easily controllable morphology and tuneable surface chemistry. Therefore, enhanced stability, improved activity, responsive release, and intracellular delivery of proteins have been achieved using MSNs as delivery vehicles. Here, we systematically review the effects of various structural parameters of MSNs on protein loading, protection, and delivery performance. We also highlight the status of the most recent progress using MSNs for intracellular delivery, extracellular delivery, antibacterial proteins delivery, enzyme mobilization, and catalysis.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a treatment method has many advantages such as minimal invasiveness, repeatable dosage, and low systemic toxicity. Issues with conventional PDT agents include the limited availability of endogenous oxygen and difficulty in accumulation at the tumor site, which has hindered the successful treatment of tumors. Herein, we developed catalase-encapsulated hyaluronic-acid-based nanoparticles loaded with adamantane-modified photosensitizer for enhanced PDT of solid tumors. Chlorin e6 (Ce6) as the photosensitizer was modified with adamantane to yield adamantane-modified Ce6 (aCe6). The obtained nanosystem (HA-CAT@aCe6) could target overly expressed CD44 receptors on cancer cells, supplying oxygen by converting endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to oxygen, and improving PDT efficacy upon light irradiation. HA-CAT@aCe6 nanoparticles showed high colloidal stability and monodispersity in aqueous solution. The uptake and targeting property of HA-CAT@aCe6 were demonstrated by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry in the MDA-MB-231 cell line possessing overly expressed CD44 receptors. The encapsulated catalase was able to decompose the endogenous H2O2 to generate O2 in situ for relieving hypoxia in cells incubated under hypoxic conditions. Cell viability assays indicated that HA-CAT@aCe6 possessed minimal cytotoxicity in the dark, while presenting high cellular toxicity under 660 nm light irradiation at normoxic conditions. As a result of the catalase capability in relieving hypoxia, HA-CAT@aCe6 also exhibited high cellular cytotoxicity under hypoxic condition. In vivo experiments revealed selective tumor accumulation of HA-CAT@aCe6 in MDA-MB-231 tumor bearing nude mice. Significant tumor regression was observed after intravenous injection of HA-CAT@aCe6 under light irradiation in comparison to the control system without loading catalase. Thus, HA-CAT@aCe6 demonstrated a great potential in overcoming hypoxia for targeted PDT.

Abstract
The use of protein to precisely manipulate cell signaling is an effective approach for controlling cell fate and developing precision medicine. More recently, programmable nucleases, such as CRISPR/Cas9, have shown extremely high potency for editing genetic flow of mammalian cells, and for treating genetic disorders. The therapeutic potential of proteins with an intracellular target, however, is mostly challenged by their low cell impermeability. Therefore, a developing delivery system to transport protein to the site of action in a spatiotemporal controlled manner is of great importance to expand the therapeutic index of the protein. In this Account, we first summarize our most recent advances in designing combinatorial lipid nanoparticles with diverse chemical structures for intracellular protein delivery. By designing parallel Michael addition or ring-opening reaction of aliphatic amines, we have generated a combinatorial library of cationic lipids, and identified several leading nanoparticle formulations for intracellular protein delivery both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we optimized the chemical structure of lipids to control lipid degradation and protein release inside cells for CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing protein delivery. In the second part of this Account, we survey our recent endeavor in developing a chemical approach to modify protein, in particular, coupled with the nanoparticle delivery platform, to improve protein delivery for targeted diseases treatment and genome editing. Chemical modification of protein is a useful tool to modulate protein function and to improve the therapeutic index of protein drugs. Herein, we mostly summarize our recent advances on designing chemical approaches to modify protein with following unique findings: (1) chemically modified protein shows selective turn-on activity based on the specific intracellular microenvironment, with which we were able to protein-based targeted cancer therapy; (2) the conjugation of hyaluronic acid (HA) to protein allows cancer cell surface receptor-targeted delivery of protein; (3) the introduction of nonpeptidic boronic acid into protein enabled cell nucleus targeted delivery; this is the first report that a nonpeptidic signal can direct protein to subcellular compartment; and (4) the fusion of protein with negatively supercharged green fluorescent protein (GFP) facilitates the self-assembly of protein with lipid nanoparticle for genome-editing protein delivery. At the end of the Account, we give a perspective of expanding the chemistry that could be integrated to design biocompatible lipid nanocarriers for protein delivery and genome editing in vitro and in vivo, as well as the chemical approaches that we can harness to modulate protein activity in live cells for targeted diseases treatment.

Abstract
Protein- and peptide-based therapeutics with high tolerance and specificity along with low off-target effects and genetic risks have attracted tremendous attention over the last three decades. Herein, a new type of noncationic lipidoid nanoparticle (LNP) is reported for His-tagged protein delivery. Active lipidoids are synthesized by conjugating a nitrilotriacetic acid group with hydrophobic tails (EC16, O16B, and O17O) and nanoparticles are formulated in the presence of nickel ions and helper lipids (cholesterol, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000]). It is demonstrated that the newly developed LNPs are capable of delivering various His-tagged proteins including green fluorescent protein (GFP), (-30)GFP-Cre recombinase, and CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein into mammalian cells.

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
Due to their large size, charged surfaces, and environmental sensitivity, proteins do not naturally cross cell-membranes in intact form and, therefore, are difficult to deliver for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Based upon the observation that clustered oligonucleotides can naturally engage scavenger receptors that facilitate cellular transfection, nucleic acid-metal organic framework nanoparticle (MOF NP) conjugates have been designed and synthesized from NU-1000 and PCN-222/MOF-545, respectively, and phosphate-terminated oligonucleotides. They have been characterized structurally and with respect to their ability to enter mammalian cells. The MOFs act as protein hosts, and their densely functionalized, oligonucleotide-rich surfaces make them colloidally stable and ensure facile cellular entry. With insulin as a model protein, high loading and a 10-fold enhancement of cellular uptake (as compared to that of the native protein) were achieved. Importantly, this approach can be generalized to facilitate the delivery of a variety of proteins as biological probes or potential therapeutics.

Abstract
Efficient and safe intracellular delivery of proteins is highly desired in the development of protein therapeutics. Current methods of protein delivery commonly suffer from low loading efficiency, low stability in serum, and lack of versatility for different proteins. Here, we developed a platform for efficient protein delivery using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) with lipid fusion. By different surface modifications on MSN, the positively charged MSN (MSN+) and the negatively charged MSN (MSN-), were generated for loading different proteins. The cargo proteins, based on the surface charges, can be selectively loaded in very high efficiency. The protein-loaded MSNs were fused with liposomes to form a protocell-like delivery system (MSN-LP) in order to prevent burst release of proteins. The lipid fusion significantly increases the stability of the nanosystem in physiological conditions, and the MSN-LP protocell can efficiently deliver proteins into cells. The cargo proteins can be released in cells in a sustained manner. Fifteen different proteins, including two protein complexes, were tested using this delivery system. Further analyses indicate that the proteins can maintain their functions after delivery into cells. Fluorescent proteins, GFP, and KillerRed show fluorescence in cells, indicating the correct folding of proteins during encapsulation and delivery. Protein activity analysis shows that KillerRed protein can generate ROS in cells, while SOD can eliminate ROS in cells. Hence, the proteins delivered by this system remain their structure and function in cells. This work provides a versatile strategy for charge-selective delivery of proteins with high loading efficiency and high stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein-based Cas9 in vivo gene editing therapeutics have practical limitations owing to their instability and low efficacy. To overcome these obstacles and improve stability, we designed a nanocarrier primarily consisting of lecithin that can efficiently target liver disease and encapsulate complexes of Cas9 with a single-stranded guide RNA (sgRNA) ribonucleoprotein (Cas9-RNP) through polymer fusion self-assembly. RESULTS In this study, we optimized an sgRNA sequence specifically for dipeptidyl peptidase-4 gene (DPP-4) to modulate the function of glucagon-like peptide 1. We then injected our nanocarrier Cas9-RNP complexes directly into type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) db/db mice, which disrupted the expression of DPP-4 gene in T2DM mice with remarkable efficacy. The decline in DPP-4 enzyme activity was also accompanied by normalized blood glucose levels, insulin response, and reduced liver and kidney damage. These outcomes were found to be similar to those of sitagliptin, the current chemical DPP-4 inhibition therapy drug which requires recurrent doses. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that a nano-liposomal carrier system with therapeutic Cas9-RNP has great potential as a platform to improve genomic editing therapies for human liver diseases.
