Chitosan- and hyaluronic acid-based nanoarchitectures in phototherapy: Combination cancer chemotherapy, immunotherapy and gene therapy. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 273:132579. [PMID: 38795895 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
Cancer phototherapy has been introduced as a new potential modality for tumor suppression. However, the efficacy of phototherapy has been limited due to a lack of targeted delivery of photosensitizers. Therefore, the application of biocompatible and multifunctional nanoparticles in phototherapy is appreciated. Chitosan (CS) as a cationic polymer and hyaluronic acid (HA) as a CD44-targeting agent are two widely utilized polymers in nanoparticle synthesis and functionalization. The current review focuses on the application of HA and CS nanostructures in cancer phototherapy. These nanocarriers can be used in phototherapy to induce hyperthermia and singlet oxygen generation for tumor ablation. CS and HA can be used for the synthesis of nanostructures, or they can functionalize other kinds of nanostructures used for phototherapy, such as gold nanorods. The HA and CS nanostructures can combine chemotherapy or immunotherapy with phototherapy to augment tumor suppression. Moreover, the CS nanostructures can be functionalized with HA for specific cancer phototherapy. The CS and HA nanostructures promote the cellular uptake of genes and photosensitizers to facilitate gene therapy and phototherapy. Such nanostructures specifically stimulate phototherapy at the tumor site, with particle toxic impacts on normal cells. Moreover, CS and HA nanostructures demonstrate high biocompatibility for further clinical applications.

Abstract
It is of great significance to develop natural renewable polymer materials for different applications. Herein, the nano-sized hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (hBNNSs) were facilely exfoliated through liquid-nitrogen, microwave, and ultrasonication treatments, and novel chitosan/hBNNSs (CS/hBNNSs) films were fabricated via solution casting. The obtained transparent CS/hBNNSs films demonstrated outstanding UV shielding ability with 98.51 % UV-A and 96.40 % UV-B lights being resisted. Compared to those properties of CS film, the oxygen permeability (OP) and carbon dioxide permeability (CO2P) of CS/hBNNSs films are significantly lowered by 96.35 % and 94.06 %, respectively, which are much better than CS/graphene oxide or other CS nanocomposite films. Moreover, the addition of hBNNSs in CS films also obviously improves their water vapor barrier ability, thermostability, mechanical properties, and antibacterial activity. The CS/hBNNSs films and the strategy developed in this work prove their great prospect in producing high-performance packaging films with desirable excellent UV shielding and oxygen barrier qualities.

Abstract
The nucleolus is a newly developed and promising target for cancer diagnosis and therapy, and its imaging is extremely significant for fundamental research and clinical applications. The unique feature, i.e., high resolution at the subcellular level, makes the fluorescence imaging method a powerful tool for nucleolus imaging. However, the fluorescence imaging of nucleoli in living cells is restricted by the limited availability of fluorescent agents with specific nucleolus-targeting capability and superior biocompatibility. Here, promising carbon dots (CDs) with intrinsic nucleolus-targeting capability were synthesized, characterized and employed for dynamic fluorescence imaging of nucleoli in living cells. The CDs exhibit a high fluorescence quantum yield of 0.2, excellent specificity and photostability, and superior biocompatibility, which were systematically demonstrated at the gene, cellular and animal levels and confirmed by their biological effects on embryonic development. All these features enabled CDs to light up the nucleoli for a long time with a high signal-to-noise ratio in living cells and monitor the nucleolar dynamics of malignant cells in camptothecin (CPT) based chemotherapy. Their excellent optical and biological features as well as general nucleolus-targeting capability endow CDs with great potential for future translational research.

Abstract
Immobilizing enzymes into microcarriers is a strategy to improve their long-term stability and reusability, hindered by (UV) light irradiation. However, in such approaches, enzyme-substrate interaction is mediated by diffusion, often at slow kinetics. In contrast, enzyme-linked self-propelled motors can accelerate this interaction, frequently mediated by the convection mechanism. This work reports on a new photosensitive polymeric Janus micromotor (JM) for UV-light protection of enzymatic activity and efficient degradation of substrates accelerated by the JMs. The JMs were assembled with UV-photosensitive modified chitosan, co-encapsulating fluorescent-labeled proteins and enzymes as models and magnetite and platinum nanoparticles for magnetic and catalytic motion. The JMs absorbed UV light, protecting the enzymatic activity and accelerating the enzyme-substrate degradation by magnetic/catalytic motion. Immobilizing proteins in photosensitive JMs is a promising strategy to improve the enzyme's stability and hasten the kinetics of substrate degradation, thereby enhancing the enzymatic process's efficiency.

Abstract
β-Amyloid (Aβ) fibrillogenesis is closely associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), so detection and inhibition of Aβ aggregation are of significance for the theranostics of AD. In this work, the coassembled nanoparticles of chitosan and hyaluronic acid cross-linked with glutaraldehyde (CHG NPs) were found to work as a theranostic agent for imaging/probing and inhibition of Aβ fibrillization both in vitro and in vivo. The biomass-based CHG NPs of high stability exhibited a wide range of excitation/emission wavelengths and showed binding affinity toward Aβ aggregates, especially for soluble Aβ oligomers. CHG NPs displayed weak emission in the monodispersed state, while they remarkably emitted increased red fluorescence upon interacting with Aβ oligomers and fibrils, showing high sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.1 nM. By comparing the different fluorescence responses of CHG NPs and Thioflavin T to Aβ aggregation, the Aβ oligomerization rate during nucleation can be determined. Moreover, the fluorescence recognition behavior of CHG NPs was selective. CHG NPs specifically bind to negatively charged amyloid aggregates but not to positively charged amyloids and negatively charged soluble proteins. Such enhancement in fluorescence emission is attributed to the clustering-triggered emission effect of CHG NPs after interaction with Aβ aggregates via various electronic conjugations and hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, and hydrophobic interactions. Besides fluorescent imaging/probing, CHG NPs over 360 μg/mL could almost completely inhibit the formation of Aβ fibrils, exhibiting the capability of regulating Aβ aggregation. In-vivo assays with Caenorhabditis elegans CL2006 demonstrated the potency of CHG NPs as an effective theranostic nanoagent for imaging Aβ plaques and inhibiting Aβ deposition. The findings proved the potential of CHG NPs for development as a potent agent for the diagnosis and treatment of AD.

Abstract
With their ubiquitous nature, bacteria have had a significant impact on human health and evolution. Though as commensals residing in/on our bodies several bacterial communities support our health in many ways, bacteria remain one of the major causes of infectious diseases that plague the human world. Adding to this, emergence of antibiotic resistant strains limited the use of available antibiotics. The current available techniques to prevent and control such infections remain insufficient. This has been proven during one of greatest pandemic of our generation, COVID-19. It has been observed that bacterial coinfections were predominantly observed in COVID-19 patients, despite antibiotic treatment. Such higher rates of coinfections in critical patients even after antibiotic treatment is a matter of concern. Owing to many reasons across the world drug resistance in bacteria is posing a major problem i. According to Center for Disease control (CDC) antibiotic report threats (AR), 2019 more than 2.8 million antibiotic resistant cases were reported, and more than 35,000 were dead among them in USA alone. In both normal and pandemic conditions, failure of identifying infectious agent has played a major role. This strongly prompts the need to improve upon the existing techniques to not just effective identification of an unknown bacterium, but also to discriminate normal Vs drug resistant strains. New techniques based on Aggregation Induced Emission (AIE) are not only simple and rapid but also have high accuracy to visualize infection and differentiate many strains of bacteria based on biomolecular variations which has been discussed in this chapter.

Abstract
The fast and cost-effective DNA extraction is critical for all DNA-based detections. Here, we fabricated a new kind of polyacrylamide microsphere (PAMMP) in various sizes with two methods, spot polymerization (large size but low yield) and modified inverse microemulsion polymerization (small size but high yield). The fabricated PAMMPs have strong autofluorescence (fPAMMPs), including both visible fluorescence (VF) and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF), which can remain very stable in various stringent conditions including strong acid and alkali and high temperature. The fabricated fPAMMPs were also highly positively charged, which could be used to effectively capture various biomolecules such as IRDye 800-labeled streptavidin and DNA. We thus developed a new method for rapid extraction (3-5 min) of DNA from various samples including bacteria, mammalian cells, plant and animal solid tissues, and human blood plasma using fPAMMPs. Moreover, the DNA captured on fPAMMPs (fPAMMP@DNA) could be effectively detected by both normal and quantitative PCR amplifications. Finally, we showed that NaBH4 treatment removed autofluorescence in fPAMMPs (PAMMPs), which could also be applied to DNA extraction and PCR detection. In conclusion, we here fabricated new kinds of fPAMMPs and PAMMPs, developed a new rapid DNA extraction method, and demonstrated their useful applications in PCR detection.

Abstract
Silica-encapsulated nanospheres of water-soluble ferrocene complexes WFCs@SiO2 and WFCs@SiO2@glutaraldehyde (GA) were first synthesized by a facile inverse-microemulsion method. The surface functional groups, particle size, and morphologies of nanospheres were characterized by IR spectra, UV-vis absorption spectra, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and SEM images. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was used to confirm the molecular structure of free ferrocenyl-pyrazol ligand (L) and three WFCs, namely, [Ni(C22H14F6FeN4O4)(H2O)4] (5a), [Mg(C22H14F6FeN4O4)(H2O)4]·3H2O (5b), and [Ba(C22H14F6FeN4O4)(H2O)3] (5c). The electrochemical properties of 5a-5c were explored by cyclic voltammetry. The WFCs-loading capacities of 5a-5c in WFCs@SiO2 were found to be 38.4, 38.2, and 38.1 μg/mg, respectively. Cell studies under two drug delivery modes (free diffusion and endocytosis) were carried out by MTT cell-survival assays and morphological observation of HepG2 cells. It's interesting that the cytotoxicity of WFCs against HepG2 was increased by applying silica nanocarriers. Compared to WFCs@SiO2, the modification of GA on the spherical surface provided not only the better water-dispersity but also additional functional groups for further modification of other pharmacophores. The novel nanocarrier system for WFC delivery present a novel concept-of-proof method to protect varieties of affordable metal-based anticancer agents in physiological conditions and provided experimental basis for future studies focusing on drug delivery of other WFCs.

Abstract
Nucleoli are important subnuclear structures inside cells. We report novel fluorescent gold nanoclusters (K-AuNCs) that are able to stain the nucleoli selectively and make it possible to explore the nucleolar morphology with fluorescence imaging technique. This novel probe is prepared through an easy synthesis method by employing a tripeptide (Lys-Cys-Lys) as the surface ligand. The properties, including deep-red fluorescence emission (680 nm), large Stocks shift, broad excitation band, low cytotoxicity, and good photostability, endow this probe with potential for bioanalytical applications. Because of their small size and their positively charged surface, K-AuNCs are able to accumulate efficiently at the nucleolar regions and provide precise morphological information. K-AuNCs are also used to monitor the nucleolar dynamics along the reverse-transformation process of malignant cells, induced by the agonist of protein A, 8-chloro-cyclic adenosine monophosphate. This gives a novel approach for investigating the working mechanism of antitumor drugs.

Abstract
Self-assembled and cross-linked chitosan/cellulose glutaraldehyde composite materials (CGC) were prepared with enhanced surface area and variable morphology. FTIR, CHN, and 13C solid state NMR studies provided support for the cross-linking reaction between the amine groups of chitosan and glutaraldehyde; whereas, XRD and TGA studies provided evidence of cellulose-chitosan interactions for the composites. SEM, equilibrium swelling, and nitrogen adsorption studies corroborate the enhanced surface area and variable morphology of the cross-linked biopolymers. Equilibrium sorption studies at alkaline conditions with phenolic dyes, along with single component and mixed naphthenates in aqueous solution revealed variable uptake properties with the composites. The Freundlich isotherm model revealed that the composite at the highest levels of cross-linker, CGC3, had the highest sorption affinity (KF; L mmol/g) for phenolphthalein (phth) followed by ortho-nitrophenyl acetic acid (ONPAA) and para-nitrophenol (PNP), as follows: Phth (5.03 × 10-1) > ONPAA (2.28 × 10-1) > PNP (8.49 × 10-2). The Sips isotherm model provided a good description of the sorption profile of single component and naphthenate mixtures. The monolayer uptake capacity (Qm; mg g-1) is given in parentheses: 2-hexyldecanoic acid (S1; 115 mg/g) > 2-naphthoxyacetic acid (S3; 40.5 mg/g) > trans-4-pentylcyclohexylcarboxylic acid (S2; 13.7 mg/g). By comparison, the Qm values for CGC3 with naphthenate mixtures (24.1 and 27.4 mg/g) according to UV spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-HRMS). The sorbent materials generally show greater uptake with naphthenates that possess lower vs higher double bond equivalence (DBE) values. Kinetic studies revealed that the sorption of phth adopted behavior described by the pseudo-second order model, while uptake for S3 and naphthenate mixtures adopted pseudo-first order behavior. This study contributes to a greater understanding of the sorption properties of the two types of abundant biopolymers and their composites by illustrating their tunable sorption properties. The key role of hydrophobic interactions for CGC materials was evidenced by the controlled sorptive uptake of carboxylate anions with variable molecular structure.

Abstract
Nanotheranostics for biomedical imaging-guided cancer therapy have attracted increasing interest due to their capabilities of both precise tumor diagnosis and high therapeutic efficacy. Among the diverse imaging models, fluorescence imaging have been extensively researched for their high sensitivity, simple operation, and low cost. In this work, aggregation induced emission (AIE) fluorogens based targeted nanotheranostics are facilely fabricated via paclitaxel (PTX) induced assembly of proteins for the first time. Thanks to the unique fluorescence property of AIE fluorogens PhENH2 , the prepared theranostic nanoplatforms can emit bright fluorescence even after being incorporated with the photothermal therapy agent polypyrrole (PPy), which will often decrease or quench the emission of common fluorescence dyes. The target moiety of cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (cRGD) endows the nanotheranostics with outstanding targeting ability, which can further facilitate the targeted imaging and cancer treatment. As revealed by the in vitro and in vivo experiments, the prepared nanotheranostics human serum albumin-PhENH2 -PPy-PTX-cRGD shows impressive performance in the targeted fluorescence imaging even after intravenous injection for 48 h, and their combined chemo-photothermal therapy is also very effective. These results indicate that AIE fluorogens based nanotheranostics would find a promising prospect in further improved multimodal imaging and imaging guided cancer treatment.

Abstract
In this paper, autofluorescent gelatin nanoparticles were synthesized as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) responsive probes for cancer cell imaging. A modified two-step desolvation method was employed to generate these nanoparticles whose size was controllable and had stable autofluorescence. As glutaraldehyde was introduced as the crosslinking agent, the generation of Schiff base (CN) and double carbon bond (CC) between glutaraldehyde and gelatin endowed these gelatin nanoparticles distinct autofluorescence. Considering MMPs were usually overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells and they had degradation ability toward gelatin, we utilized these nanoparticles as imaging probes to responsively monitor the MMP metabolism of cancer cells according to the luminance change. As fluorescent probes, these nanoparticles had facile synthesis procedure and good biocompatibility, and provided a smart strategy to monitor cancer cell behaviors. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The development of polymeric luminescent nanomaterials for biomedical applications has recently attracted a large amount of attention due to the remarkable advantages of these materials compared with small organic dyes and fluorescent inorganic nanomaterials. Among these polymeric luminescent nanomaterials, polymeric luminescent nanomaterials based on dyes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties should be of great research interest due to their unique AIE properties, the designability of polymers and their multifunctional potential. In this review, the recent advances in the design and biomedical applications of polymeric luminescent nanomaterials based on AIE dyes is summarized. Various design strategies for incorporation of these AIE dyes into polymeric systems are included. The potential biomedical applications such as biological imaging, and use in biological sensors and theranostic systems of these polymeric AIE-based nanomaterials have also been highlighted. We trust this review will attract significant interest from scientists from different research fields in chemistry, materials, biology and interdisciplinary areas.

Abstract
Novel cross-linked copolymers of PEG-IM-PhNH2 are successfully synthesized through PEGylation via radical polymerization of 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate and poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacylate and subsequent cross-linking with an amino-terminated aggregation-induced emission fluorogen. Such obtained amphiphilic copolymers can self-assemble to form uniform fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles (FPNs) and be utilized for cell imaging. These cross-linked FPNs are demonstrated good water dispersibility with ultralow critical micelle concentration (∼ 0.002 mg mL(-1)), uniform morphology (98 ± 2 nm), high red fluorescence quantum yield, and excellent biocompatibility. More importantly, this novel strategy of fabricating cross-linked FPNs paves the way to the future development of more robust and biocompatible fluorescent bioprobes.
