Abstract
The encapsulation of cells with various polyelectrolytes through layer-by-layer (LbL) has become a popular strategy in cellular function engineering. The technique sprang up in 1990s and obtained tremendous advances in multi-functionalized encapsulation of cells in recent years. This review comprehensively summarized the basis and applications in drug delivery by means of LbL cell encapsulation. To begin with, the concept and brief history of LbL and LbL cell encapsulation were introduced. Next, diverse types of materials, including naturally extracted and chemically synthesized, were exhibited, followed by a complicated basis of LbL assembly, such as interactions within multilayers, charge distribution, and films morphology. Furthermore, the review focused on the protective effects against adverse factors, and bioactive payloads incorporation could be realized via LbL cell encapsulation. Additionally, the payload delivery from cell encapsulation system could be adjusted by environment, redox, biological processes, and functional linkers to release payloads in controlled manners. In short, drug delivery via LbL cell encapsulation, which takes advantage of both cell grafts and drug activities, will be of great importance in basic research of cell science and biotherapy for various diseases.

Abstract
![]()
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT)
is a binary therapeutic method
for cancer treatment based on the use of a combination of a cancer-specific
drug containing boron-10 (10B) and thermal neutron irradiation.
For successful BNCT, 10B-containing molecules need to accumulate
specifically in cancer cells, because destructive effect of the generated
heavy particles is limited basically to boron-containing cells. Herein,
we report on the design and synthesis of boron compounds that are
functionalized with 9-, 12-, and 15-membered macrocyclic polyamines
and their Zn2+ complexes. Their cytotoxicity, intracellular
uptake activity into cancer cells and normal cells, and BNCT effect
are also reported. The experimental data suggest that mono- and/or
diprotonated forms of metal-free [12]aneN4- and [15]aneN5-type ligands are uptaken into cancer cells, and their complexes
with intracellular metals such as Zn2+ would induce cell
death upon thermal neutron irradiation, possibly via interactions
with DNA.

Biomaterials 2019; 217:119231. [PMID: 31254933 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2019.119231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2018] [Revised: 05/22/2019] [Accepted: 05/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Tumor could not be completely removed due to the absence of immune storm against tumor. The porcine α1,3 galactosyltransferase (α1,3 GT) induce the hyperacute rejection by synthesizing Galα1-3Galβ1-(3)4GlcNAc-R (αGal) on the surface of graft endothelial cells (ECs) during xeno-transplantation. This study aimed to develop anti-endoglin single-chain Fv fragments (ENG-scFv) conjugated PEGylated immunoliposomes (iLPs) to induce immune storm against tumor. Immune fluorescence was performed to detect the binding of ENG-scFv to human ENG, the endosomal/lysosomal escape of ENG-scFv-iLPs/α1,3 GT, and αGal expression in hENG-HEK293 cells. In vitro MTT assay was performed to measure ENG-scFv-iLPs/α1,3 GT cytotoxicity. NOD/SCID mouse born A549 tumor model was used to evaluate the therapeutic potency of ENG-scFv-iLPs/α1,3 GT. ENG-scFv-iLPs enabled efficient targeting delivery of α1,3 GT plasmid to ENG + tumors neovascular endothelial cells (TnECs), promoted endosomal/lysosomal escape due to the pH-sensitive ability, then synthesized carbohydrate epitope αGal on the surface of these cells to achieve the purpose of destroying the tumor. The mechanism of uptake for nanoparticles was energy driven, the clathrin-mediated endocytosis was the main endocytic pathway of the ENG-mAb-iLPs/α1,3 GT and lipid-raft-mediated of the ENG-scFv-iLPs/α1,3 GT, and macropinocytosis was also involved in intracellular entry. The inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and proliferation by ENG-scFv-iLPs/α1,3 GT was closely related to down-regulation of VEGF. Our findings establish an alternative therapeutic paradigm for scFv-conjugated nanoparticles to induce tumor cell apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth early. Such iLPs nanocarrier could efficiently release α1,3 GT to their distinct sites of action, where the endoglin + tumor neovascular endothelial cells (ENG + TnECs) exist, in a site-specific manner. Therefore, we believe that these scFv-targeted core-shell immunocomplexes are an important potential α1,3 GT delivery system for various solid tumor-targeted therapy.

Abstract
Gene therapy is a promising strategy for treating challenging diseases. The successful delivery of genes is a critical step for gene therapy. However, concerns about immunogenicity and toxicity are the main obstacles against the widespread use of effective viral systems. Therefore, nonviral vectors are regarded as good alternatives to viral vectors. Chitosan is a natural cationic polysaccharide that could be used to create nonviral gene delivery vectors. Various methods have been developed to improve the properties of chitosan related to gene delivery. This review introduces the features of chitosan in gene delivery, summarizes current progress toward methods promoting the properties of chitosan related to gene delivery, and presents different applications of chitosan in gene delivery vectors. Finally, future prospects of gene vectors based on chitosan are discussed.

Abstract
Chitin is a linear polysaccharide of N-acetylglucosamine, which is highly abundant in nature and mainly produced by marine crustaceans. Chitosan is obtained by hydrolytic deacetylation. Both polysaccharides are renewable resources, simply and cost-effectively extracted from waste material of fish industry, mainly crab and shrimp shells. Research over the past five decades has revealed that chitosan, in particular, possesses unique and useful characteristics such as chemical versatility, polyelectrolyte properties, gel- and film-forming ability, high adsorption capacity, antimicrobial and antioxidative properties, low toxicity, and biocompatibility and biodegradability features. A plethora of chemical chitosan derivatives have been synthesized yielding improved materials with suggested or effective applications in water treatment, biosensor engineering, agriculture, food processing and storage, textile additives, cosmetics fabrication, and in veterinary and human medicine. The number of studies in this research field has exploded particularly during the last two decades. Here, we review recent advances in utilizing chitosan and chitosan derivatives in different technical, agricultural, and biomedical fields.
