Abstract
Gene therapy uses modern molecular biology methods to repair disease-causing genes. As a burgeoning therapeutic, it has been widely applied for cancer therapy. Since 1989, there have been numerous clinical gene therapy cases worldwide. However, a few are successful. The main challenge of clinical gene therapy is the lack of efficient and safe vectors. Although viral vectors show high transfection efficiency, their application is still limited by immune rejection and packaging capacity. Therefore, the development of non-viral vectors is overwhelming. Nanoplatform-based non-viral vectors become a hotspot in gene therapy. The reasons are mainly as follows. 1) Non-viral vectors can be engineered to be uptaken by specific types of cells or tissues, providing effective targeting capability. 2) Non-viral vectors can protect goods that need to be delivered from degradation. 3) Nanoparticles can transport large-sized cargo such as CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids and nucleoprotein complexes. 4) Nanoparticles are highly biosafe, and they are not mutagenic in themselves compared to viral vectors. 5) Nanoparticles are easy to scale preparation, which is conducive to clinical conversion and application. Here, an overview of the categories of nanoplatform-based non-viral gene vectors, the limitations on their development, and their applications in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Insufficient endosomal escape presents a major hurdle for successful nucleic acid therapy. Here, for the first time, a chemical electron transfer (CET) system was integrated into small interfering RNA (siRNA) lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). The CET acceptor can be chemically excited using the generated energy between the donor and hydrogen peroxide, which triggers the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), promoting endosomal lipid membrane destabilization. Tetra-oleoyl tri-lysino succinoyl tetraethylene pentamine was included as an ionizable lipopeptide with a U-shaped topology for effective siRNA encapsulation and pH-induced endosomal escape. LNPs loaded with siRNA and CET components demonstrated a more efficient endosomal escape, as evidenced by a galectin-8-mRuby reporter; ROS significantly augmented galectin-8 recruitment by at least threefold compared with the control groups, with a p value of 0.03. Moreover, CET-enhanced LNPs achieved a 24% improvement in apoptosis level by knocking down the tumor-protective gene nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, boosting the CET-mediated ROS cell killing.

Abstract
The emerging role of Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) as therapeutics is alluring. However, RNAs are extremely labile under ambient conditions and typically need to be stored in cryogenic conditions (-20 °C to -80 °C). Hence, storage, stabilization, and transportation of RNA under ambient conditions have been an arduous task and remain an unsolved problem. In this work, a guanidinium-based ionic covalent organic framework (COF), TTGCl with nanotubular morphology, was synthesized and used as nano-reservoirs for room-temperature storage of RNA. To understand the role of the nanotubular morphology and chemical nature of TTGCl in stabilizing the RNA structure and for comparison purposes, a neutral COF, TMT-TT, is synthesized and studied. Further, density functional theory (DFT) studies confirmed non-covalent interaction between the COFs and the RNA nucleobases, facilitating reversible storage of RNA. RNA loaded in COFs was found to be resistant to enzymatic degradation when treated with RNase. Gel electrophoresis and sequencing confirmed the structural integrity of the recovered RNAs and their further processibility.

Abstract
Gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi), particularly using small double-stranded RNA (siRNA), has been identified as a potent strategy for targeted cancer treatment. Yet, its application faces challenges such as nuclease degradation, inefficient cellular uptake, endosomal entrapment, off-target effects, and immune responses, which have hindered its effective delivery. In the past few years, these challenges have been addressed significantly by using camouflaged metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocarriers. These nanocarriers protect siRNA from degradation, enhance cellular uptake, and reduce unintended side effects by effectively targeting desired cells while evading immune detection. By combining the properties of biomimetic membranes and MOFs, these nanocarriers offer superior benefits such as extended circulation times, enhanced stability, and reduced immune responses. Moreover, through ligand-receptor interactions, biomimetic membrane-coated MOFs achieve homologous targeting, minimizing off-target adverse effects. The MOFs, acting as the core, efficiently encapsulate and protect siRNA molecules, while the biomimetic membrane-coated surface provides homologous targeting, further increasing the precision of siRNA delivery to cancer cells. In particular, the biomimetic membranes help to shield the MOFs from the immune system, avoiding unwanted immune responses and improving their biocompatibility. The combination of siRNA with innovative nanocarriers, such as camouflaged-MOFs, presents a significant advancement in cancer therapy. The ability to deliver siRNA with precision and effectiveness using these camouflaged nanocarriers holds great promise for achieving more personalized and efficient cancer treatments in the future. This review article discusses the significant progress made in the development of siRNA therapeutics for cancer, focusing on their effective delivery through novel nanocarriers, with a particular emphasis on the role of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as camouflaged nanocarriers.

Enhancing Drug Delivery Efficacy Through Bilayer Coating of Zirconium-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks: Sustained Release and Improved Chemical Stability and Cellular Uptake for Cancer Therapy. CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS : A PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY 2024; 36:3588-3603. [PMID: 38681089 PMCID: PMC11044268 DOI: 10.1021/acs.chemmater.3c02954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
The development of nanoparticle (NP)-based drug carriers has presented an exciting opportunity to address challenges in oncology. Among the 100,000 available possibilities, zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising candidates in biomedical applications. Zr-MOFs can be easily synthesized as small-size NPs compatible with intravenous injection, whereas the ease of decorating their external surfaces with functional groups allows for targeted treatment. Despite these benefits, Zr-MOFs suffer degradation and aggregation in real, in vivo conditions, whereas the loaded drugs will suffer the burst effect-i.e., the fast release of drugs in less than 48 h. To tackle these issues, we developed a simple but effective bilayer coating strategy in a generic, two-step process. In this work, bilayer-coated MOF NU-901 remained well dispersed in biologically relevant fluids such as buffers and cell growth media. Additionally, the coating enhances the long-term stability of drug-loaded MOFs in water by simultaneously preventing sustained leakage of the drug and aggregation of the MOF particles. We evaluated our materials for the encapsulation and transport of pemetrexed, the standard-of-care chemotherapy in mesothelioma. The bilayer coating allowed for a slowed release of pemetrexed over 7 days, superior to the typical 48 h release found in bare MOFs. This slow release and the related performance were studied in vitro using both A549 lung cancer and 3T mesothelioma cells. Using high-resolution microscopy, we found the successful uptake of bilayer-coated MOFs by the cells with an accumulation in the lysosomes. The pemetrex-loaded NU-901 was indeed cytotoxic to 3T and A549 cancer cells. Finally, we demonstrated the general approach by extending the coating strategy using two additional lipids and four surfactants. This research highlights how a simple yet effective bilayer coating provides new insights into the design of promising MOF-based drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Freshwater scarcity is a pressing global concern, and water desalination has emerged as a promising solution. Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have demonstrated exceptional potential in this regard. However, previous efforts to improve the permeability of MOFs have primarily focused on chemical modifications and synthesis rather than exploring physical methods. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we propose that the use of terahertz waves at a specific frequency of 7.5 ± 1.0 THz significantly enhances water permeability across MOF membranes, up to 27-fold, while maintaining effective ion rejection capabilities throughout the process. The mechanism behind this enhancement involves the resonance between the terahertz wave and the hydrogen bond vibrations of water within the MOF. This resonance amplifies the rotational kinetic energy of water molecules, disrupting the hydrogen bonds and causing a phase transition from quasi 1D square ice to a gas-like phase. Additionally, the diffusion behavior shifts from Fickian diffusion to sub-diffusion, resulting in improved water permeation across the MOF membrane. This study highlights the potential of terahertz waves as a physical tool to enhance the permeability of MOFs in water desalination, providing new avenues for efficient water treatment and resource sustainability.

Abstract
A hallmark of the last decades is an extensive development of genome editing systems and technologies propelling genetic engineering to the next level. Specific and efficient delivery of genome editing tools to target cells is one of the key elements of such technologies. Conventional vectors are not always suitable for this purpose due to a limited cargo volume, risks related to cancer and immune reactions, toxicity, a need for high-purity viral material and quality control, as well as a possibility of integration of the virus into the host genome leading to overexpression of the vector components and safety problems. Therefore, the search for novel approaches to delivering proteins and nucleic acids into cells is a relevant priority. This work reviews abiotic vectors and systems for delivering genome editing tools into target cells, including liposomes and solid lipid particles, other membrane-based vesicles, cell-penetrating peptides, micelles, dendrimers, carbon nanotubes, inorganic, polymer, metal and other nanoparticles. It considers advantages, drawbacks and preferred applications of such systems as well as suitability thereof for the delivery of genome editing systems. A particular emphasis is placed on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their potential in the targeted intracellular delivery of proteins and polynucleotides. It has been concluded that further development of MOF-based vectors and technologies, as well as combining MOFs with other carriers can result in safe and efficient delivery systems, which would be able to circulate in the body for a long time while recognizing target cells and ensuring cell-specific delivery and release of intact cargoes and, thereby, improving the genome editing outcome.

Abstract
This review article highlights the innovative role of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in addressing global healthcare challenges related to microbial infections. MOFs, comprised of metal nodes and organic ligands, offer unique properties that can be applied in the treatment and diagnosis of these infections. Traditional methods, such as antibiotics and conventional diagnostics, face issues such as antibiotic resistance and diagnostic limitations. MOFs, with their highly porous and customizable structure, can encapsulate and deliver therapeutic or diagnostic molecules precisely. Their large surface area and customizable pore structures allow for sensitive detection and selective recognition of microbial pathogens. They also show potential in delivering therapeutic agents to infection sites, enabling controlled release and possible synergistic effects. However, challenges like optimizing synthesis techniques, enhancing stability, and developing targeted delivery systems remain. Regulatory and safety considerations for clinical translation also need to be addressed. This review not only explores the potential of MOFs in treating and diagnosing microbial infections but also emphasizes their unique approach and discusses existing challenges and future directions.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129233.

Abstract
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be used as a powerful tool in gene therapy to downregulate the expression of specific disease related genes. Some properties however, such as instability, and low penetration into cells can limit their efficacy, and thus reduce their therapeutic potential. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) such as zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), which consist of organic bridging ligands and metal cations (Zn), have a very high binding affinity with nucleic acids including siRNAs. In this study, we designed a PEGylated ZIF-8 platform that was equipped with epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) aptamer for the targeted delivery of siRNA molecules, in order to knockdown SNHG15 in both a prostate cancer (PC) cell line, and a human PC xenograft mouse model. SNHG15 is a long noncoding RNA, with oncogenic roles in different cancers including PC. The results indicated that the depletion of SNHG15 by Apt-PEG-siRNA@ZIF-8 nanoplatfrom inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation, and increased apoptosis in PC cells. This nanoparticle facilitated the release of siRNAs into the tumor environment in vivo, and subsequently reduced the tumor growth, with no side effects observed in vital organs. We have therefore developed a novel siRNA nano-delivery system for targeted prostate cancer treatment; however further studies are required before it can be tested in clinical trials.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 903:166424.

Abstract
Nanopesticides have been selected as one of the top 10 chemical innovations for enhancing the efficacy and safety of agrochemicals. Herein, smart, degradable, and eco-friendly metal-organic framework MIL-101(FeIII) nanoherbicides coated with carboxymethyl cellulose-CaII (CMC-CaII) cross-linking hydrogel-like networks are synthesized via a simple strategy. The coating of the CMC-CaII hydrogel-like gatekeepers is oriented by the coordination unsaturated FeIII clusters on the surfaces of the MIL-101(FeIII) nanocarriers to form a dense film network to prevent paraquat (PQ) leakage. Based on the stimuli factors (acid/basic pH, GSH, phosphates, and EDTA) of physiological and natural environments of target plants, the nanoherbicides are combined with five stimuli-responsive properties to attain the various controlled release of packaged PQ by the disassembly of the gatekeepers and/or the degradation of the MOF skeleton structure. More importantly, based on the stimuli-responsive controlled release mechanisms, the eco-friendly nanocarriers are ultimately degraded against bioaccumulation in plants or soil. The coating of natural CMC could promote the spreading of PQ owing to improvement of wettability for aqueous droplets of nanoherbicides on hydrophobic foliage. The PQ trapped in nanocarriers can effectively prevent PQ degradation, which showed that cumulative degradation rate is ca. 2.6 times lower than that of technical PQ under UV irradiation. The prepared nanoherbicides loaded with PQ show good control efficacy against weeds by controlling the release of PQ; good safety on seed germination (germination rate 97.32-99.67 %), seedling emergence (emergence rate 95.53-99.67 %), and are beneficial for the growth of wheat seedling (increase rate of plant height 1.89-6.97 % and 0.54-5.67 % after 7 and 15 days of seedling emergence, respectively) in the greenhouse; good biosafety for honeybees (Apis mellifera L.), which shows that lethal rates were 2.04 and 2.55 times lower than technical PQ for incubation 24 and 48 h, respectively. The nanoherbicides have potential applications in the field for PQ green agriculture.

Abstract
Therapeutic nucleic acids (TNAs) are gaining increasing interest in the treatment of severe diseases including viral infections, inherited disorders, and cancers. However, the efficacy of intracellularly functioning TNAs is also reliant upon their delivery into the cellular environment, as unmodified nucleic acids are unable to cross the cell membrane mainly due to charge repulsion. Here we show that TNAs can be effectively delivered into the cellular environment using engineered nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs), with the additional ability to tailor which cells receive the therapeutic cargo determined by the functional moieties grafted onto the nanoMOF's surface. This study paves the way to integrate the highly ordered programmable nucleic acids into larger-scale functionalized nanoassemblies.

Abstract
The absence of effective delivery vectors and suitable multifunctional plasmids limits cancer gene therapy development. The star cationic poly(disulfide)s with β-cyclodextrin cores (termed β-CD-g-PSSn ) for caveolae-mediated endocytosis are designed and prepared via mild and controllable disulfide exchange polymerization for high-efficacy cancer therapy. Then, β-CD-g-PSSn /pDNA complexes are transported to the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Disulfides in β-CD-g-PSSn vectors are degraded by glutathione in tumor cells, which not only promotes intracellular pDNA release but also reduces in vitro and in vivo toxicity. One bifunctional fusion plasmid pCATKR, which expresses catalase (CAT) fused to KillerRed (KR) (CATKR) in the same target cell, is also proposed for genetically cascade catalytic therapy. When compared with pCAT-KR (plasmid expressing CAT and KR separately in the same cell), delivered pCATKR decomposes hydrogen peroxide, alleviates tumor hypoxia more effectively, generates stronger reactive oxygen species (ROS) capabilities under moderate irradiation, and leads to robust antitumor cascade photodynamic effects. These impressive results are attributed to fusion protein design, which shortens the distance between CAT and KR catalytic centers and leads to improved ROS production efficiency. This work provides a promising strategy by delivering a catalytic cascade functional plasmid via a high-performance vector with biodegradable and caveolae-mediated endocytosis characteristics.

Abstract
Immunomodulation is a powerful therapeutic approach that harnesses the body's own immune system and reprograms it to treat diseases, such as cancer. Innate immunity is key in mobilizing the rest of the immune system to respond to disease and is thus an attractive target for immunomodulation. Biomaterials have widely been employed as vehicles to deliver immunomodulatory therapeutic cargo to immune cells and raise robust antitumor immunity. However, it is key to consider the design of biomaterial chemical and physical structure, as it has direct impacts on innate immune activation and antigen presentation to stimulate downstream adaptive immunity. Herein, we highlight the widespread importance of structure-driven biomaterial design for the delivery of immunomodulatory cargo to innate immune cells. The incorporation of precise structural elements can be harnessed to improve delivery kinetics, uptake, and the targeting of biomaterials into innate immune cells, and enhance immune activation against cancer through temporal and spatial processing of cargo to overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Structural design of immunomodulatory biomaterials will profoundly improve the efficacy of current cancer immunotherapies by maximizing the impact of the innate immune system and thus has far-reaching translational potential against other diseases.

Abstract
The first approved RNAi therapeutics, ONPATTRO, in 2017 moves the concept of RNA interference (RNAi) therapy from research to clinical reality, raising the hopes for the treatment of currently incurable diseases. However, RNAi therapeutics are still facing two main challenges-susceptibility to enzymatic degradation and low ability to escape from endo/lysosome into the cytoplasm. Therefore, we developed disulfide-based nanospheres (DBNPs) as universal vehicles to achieve efficient RNA delivery to address these problems. Notably, the DBNPs possess unique and desirable features, including improved resistance to nuclease degradation, direct cytoplasmic delivery through thiol-mediated cellular uptake, and cytosolic environment-responsive release, greatly enhancing the bioavailability of RNA therapeutics. Additionally, DBNPs are superior in terms of overcoming formidable physiological barriers, including vascular barriers and impermeable tumor tissues. Owning to these advantages, the DBNPs exhibit efficient gene silencing effect when delivering either small interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA in various cell lines and generate remarkable growth inhibition in the zebrafish and mouse model of pancreatic tumors as compared to traditional delivery vectors, such as PEI. Therefore, DBNPs have potential application prospect in RNAi therapy both in vitro and in vivo. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics could target and alter any disease-related mRNA translation, thus have great potential in clinical application. Delivery efficiency of RNA modalities into cell cytoplasm is the main problem that currently limit RNAi therapeutics to release their full potential. Most of the known delivery materials suffer from the endo/lysosomal entrapment and enzymatic degradation during endocytosis-dependent uptake, resulting unsatisfied efficiency of the cytoplasmic release. Here, we developed disulfide-based nanospheres could directly transfer RNA modalities into the cytoplasm and significantly enhance the delivery efficiency, thus holding great potential in RNAi therapy.

Li J, Peng H, Ji W, Lu D, Wang N, Peng C, Zhang W, Li M, Li Y. Advances in surface-modified nanometal-organic frameworks for drug delivery. Int J Pharm 2023:123119. [PMID: 37302666 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Nanometal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) are porous network structures composed of metal ions or metal clusters through self-assembly. NMOFs have been considered as a promising nano-drug delivery system due to their unique properties such as pore and flexible structures, large specific surface areas, surface modifiability, non-toxic and degradable properties. However, NMOFs face a series complex environment during in vivo delivery. Therefore, surface functionalization of NMOFs is vital to ensure that the structure of NMOFs remain stable during delivery, and can overcome physiological barriers to deliver drugs more accurately to specific sites, and achieve controllable release. In this review, the first part summarizes the physiological barriers that NMOFs faced during drug delivery after intravenous injection and oral administration. The second part summarizes the current main ways to load drugs into NMOFs, mainly including pore adsorption, surface attachment, formation of covalent/coordination bonds between drug molecules and NMOFs, and in situ encapsulation. The third part is the main review part of this paper, which summarizes the surface modification methods of NMOFs used in recent years to overcome the physiological barriers and achieve effective drug delivery and disease therapy, which are mainly divided into physical modifications and chemical modifications. Finally, the full text is summarized and prospected, with the hope to provide ideas for the future development of NMOFs as drug delivery.

Self-intensified synergy of a versatile biomimetic nanozyme and doxorubicin on electrospun fibers to inhibit postsurgical tumor recurrence and metastasis. Biomaterials 2023; 293:121942. [PMID: 36512863 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 11/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Tumor-positive resection margins after surgery can result in tumor recurrence and metastasis. Although adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been adopted in clinical practice, they lack efficacy and result in unavoidable side effects. Herein, a self-intensified in-situ therapy approach using electrospun fibers loaded with a biomimetic nanozyme and doxorubicin (DOX) is developed. The fabricated PEG-coated zeolite imidazole framework-67 (PZIF67) is demonstrated as a versatile nanozyme triggering reactions in cancer cells based on endogenous H2O2 and •O2-. The PZIF67-generated •OH induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) overload, implementing chemodynamic therapy (CDT). The O2 produced by PZIF67 inhibits the expression of hypoxia-up-regulated proteins, thereby suppressing tumor progression. PZIF67 also catalyzes the degradation of glutathione, further disturbing the intracellular redox homeostasis and enhancing CDT. Furthermore, the introduced DOX not only kills cancer cells individually, but also replenishes the continuously consumed substrates for PZIF67-catalyzed reactions. The PZIF67-weakened drug resistance strengthens the cytotoxicity of DOX. The combined application of PZIF67 and DOX also suppresses metastasis-associated genes. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the self-intensified synergy of PZIF67 and DOX on electrospun fibers efficiently prevents postsurgical tumor recurrence and metastasis, offering a feasible therapeutic regimen for operable malignant tumors.

Abstract
The anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) family of proteins are critical regulators of cell death that are overexpressed in many cancer cells, especially in multi-drug resistant cancer cells. Combinatorial gene- and chemotherapies using antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to suppress the expression of Bcl-2-family mRNA and restore the sensitivity of the cell to chemodrugs provide a promising pathway for anticancer treatment. However, intrinsic differences between macromolecular ASOs and small molecular chemodrugs make their co-delivery challenging. Moreover, extraneous carriers may induce immunogenicity and inflammation problems. Herein, we develop a targeted nanodrug delivery system using the cationic amphiphilic chemodrug mitoxantrone (Mito), which interacts with Bcl-2 ASO through electrostatic interaction and self-assembles into nanoparticles (NP[Bcl-2/Mito]), whose size can be controlled by regulating the ratio of ASO and Mito. NP[Bcl-2/Mito] can protect the ASO from degradation during delivery and combine gene- and chemotherapies to improve the anticancer effect. Furthermore, cancer cell membranes (CCMs) derived from homologous tumors were used to camouflage NP[Bcl-2/Mito] (NP[Bcl-2/Mito]@CCM) to achieve immune escape and tumor targeting. Both in vitro and in vivo assessments demonstrate the excellent performance of NP[Bcl-2/Mito]@CCM for drug-resistant breast tumor therapy. This CCM-camouflaged ASO/chemodrug nanoplatform provides a promising pathway for the targeted delivery of ASOs and chemodrugs for tumor combination therapy.

A pH-responsive metal-organic framework for the co-delivery of HIF-2α siRNA and curcumin for enhanced therapy of osteoarthritis. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:18.

Abstract
The occurrence of osteoarthritis (OA) is highly correlated with the reduction of joint lubrication performance, in which persistent excessive inflammation and irreversible destruction of cartilage dominate the mechanism. The inadequate response to monotherapy methods, suboptimal efficacy caused by undesirable bioavailability, short retention, and lack of stimulus-responsiveness, are few unresolved issues. Herein, we report a pH-responsive metal-organic framework (MOF), namely, MIL-101-NH2, for the co-delivery of anti-inflammatory drug curcumin (CCM) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) for hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-2α). CCM and siRNA were loaded via encapsulation and surface coordination ability of MIL-101-NH2. Our vitro tests showed that MIL-101-NH2 protected siRNA from nuclease degradation by lysosomal escape. The pH-responsive MIL-101-NH2 gradually collapsed in an acidic OA microenvironment to release the CCM payloads to down-regulate the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and to release the siRNA payloads to cleave the target HIF-2α mRNA for gene-silencing therapy, ultimately exhibiting the synergetic therapeutic efficacy by silencing HIF-2α genes accompanied by inhibiting the inflammation response and cartilage degeneration of OA. The hybrid material reported herein exhibited promising potential performance for OA therapy as supported by both in vitro and in vivo studies and may offer an efficacious therapeutic strategy for OA utilizing MOFs as host materials.

Abstract
In this review, aspects of the synthesis, framework topologies, and biomedical applications of highly porous metal-organic frameworks are discussed. The term "highly porous metal-organic frameworks" (HPMOFs) is used to denote MOFs with a surface area larger than 4000 m2 g-1. Such compounds are suitable for the encapsulation of a variety of large guest molecules, ranging from organic dyes to drugs and proteins, and hence they can address major contemporary challenges in the environmental and biomedical field. Numerous synthetic approaches towards HPMOFs have been developed and discussed herein. Attempts are made to categorise the most successful synthetic strategies; however, these are often not independent from each other, and a combination of different parameters is required to be thoroughly considered for the synthesis of stable HPMOFs. The majority of the HPMOFs in this review are of special interest not only because of their high porosity and fascinating structures, but also due to their capability to encapsulate and deliver drugs, proteins, enzymes, genes, or cells; hence, they are excellent candidates in biomedical applications that involve drug delivery, enzyme immobilisation, gene targeting, etc. The encapsulation strategies are described, and the MOFs are categorised according to the type of biomolecule they are able to encapsulate. The research field of HPMOFs has witnessed tremendous development recently. Their intriguing features and potential applications attract researchers' interest and promise an auspicious future for this class of highly porous materials.

Abstract
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) has increasingly evolved as a potent therapeutic solution for several pathological conditions including cancers via post-transcriptional oncogene suppression in cellular pathways. And, the key for siRNA-based therapy highly relies on the successful siRNAs delivery into the target cells, which is significantly challenged by their instability, poor cellular uptake and targeting capability. To overcome these issues, herein, a new type of RNA nanostructure, the bivalent aptamer and terminus-free siRNA junction, is synthesized and employed for effective gene silencing in cancer cells. Such a siRNA junction can be readily prepared by the self-assembly of three RNA sequences and subsequent ligation of the nicks. The as-synthesized siRNA junction shows highly improved enzymatic stability and targeting capability and can be efficiently delivered into the target cells to induce cell apoptosis. With these integrated advantages, the siRNA junction can therefore offer new potentials for the design of different siRNA therapeutics for various diseases.

Abstract
The overwhelming potential of porous coordination polymers (PCP), also known as Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), especially their nanostructures for various biomedical applications, have made these materials worth investigating for more applications and uses. MOFs unique structure has enabled them for most applications, particularly in biomedical and healthcare. A number of very informative review papers are available on the biomedical applications of MOFs for the reader's convenience. However, many of those reviews focus mainly on drug delivery applications, and no significant work has been reported on other MOFs for biomedical applications. This review aims to present a compact and highly informative global assessment of the recent developments in biomedical applications (excluding drug-delivery) of MOFs along with critical analysis. Researchers have recently adopted both synthetic and post-synthetic routes for the fabrication and modification of MOFs that have been discussed and analyzed. A critical review of the latest reports on the significant and exotic area of bio-sensing capabilities and applications of MOFs has been given in this study. In addition, other essential applications of MOFs, including photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and antimicrobial activities, are also included. These recently grown emergent techniques and cancer treatment options have gained attention and require further investigations to achieve fruitful outcomes. MOF's role in these applications has been thoroughly discussed, along with future challenges and valuable suggestions for the research community that will help meet future demands.

Abstract
The application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in drug delivery has advanced rapidly over the past decade, showing huge progress in the development of novel systems. Although a large number of versatile MOFs that can carry and release multiple compounds have been designed and tested, one of the main limitations to their translation to the clinic is the limited biological understanding of their interaction with cells and the way they penetrate them. This is a crucial aspect of drug delivery, as MOFs need to be able not only to enter into cells but also to release their cargo in the correct intracellular location. While small molecules can enter cells by passive diffusion, nanoparticles (NPs) usually require an energy-dependent process known as endocytosis. Importantly, the fate of NPs after being taken up by cells is dependent on the endocytic pathways they enter through. However, no general guidelines for MOF particle internalization have been established due to the inherent complexity of endocytosis as a mechanism, with several factors affecting cellular uptake, namely NP size and surface chemistry. In this review, we cover recent advances regarding the understanding of the mechanisms of uptake of nano-sized MOFs (nanoMOFs)s, their journey inside the cell, and the importance of biological context in their final fate. We examine critically the impact of MOF physicochemical properties on intracellular trafficking and successful cargo delivery. Finally, we highlight key unanswered questions on the topic and discuss the future of the field and the next steps for nanoMOFs as drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Macrophages play essential roles in the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which are polarized into the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype with significant oxidative stress and cytokines excretion. Herein, an active targeting nanomedicine based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to re-educate the diseased macrophages for RA therapy is reported. The MOFs are prepared via coordination between tannic acid (TA) and Fe3+ , and anti-TNF-α siRNA is loaded via a simple sonication process, achieving high loading capacity comparable to cationic vectors. The MOFs show excellent biocompatibility, and enable rapid endo/lysosome escape of siRNA via the proton-sponge effect for effective cytokines down-regulation. Importantly, such nanomedicine displays intrinsic radicals scavenging capability to eliminate a broad spectrum of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which in turn repolarizes the M1 macrophages into anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes for enhanced RA therapy in combination with siRNA. The MOFs are further modified with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to allow cascade RA joint and diseased macrophages targeted delivery. As a result, an excellent anti-RA efficacy is achieved in a collagen-induced arthritis mice model. This work provides a robust gene vector with great translational potential, and offers a vivid example of rationally designing MOF structure with multifunctionalities to synergize with its payload for enhanced disease treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline materials that, thanks to their large surface area and high porosity, allow them to be used in various areas of knowledge. This diversity of applications is due to the metal ions and the organic binders that compose them, but it is also important to highlight the ability of MOFs to function as hosts for a great variety of molecules of very different sizes and chemical properties. The first existing approaches for incorporating biomolecules in MOFs are discussed: pore encapsulation, surface binding, covalent binding, and in-situ encapsulation. Next, we discuss the obstacles of designing MOFs for effective gene delivery and how to enhance the gene delivery using different strategies.

Abstract
siRNA therapeutics are challenged by homogeneous and efficient loading, maintenance of biological activities, and precise, dynamic and monitorable site-release. Herein, supramolecular nanomaterials of WP5⊃G–siRNA were constructed by modular and hierarchical self-assembly of siRNA with guest (3,6-di(thiophen-2-yl)pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4(2H,5H)-dione derivative, G) and host (pillar[5]arene, WP5) molecules in the same system. Demonstrated by experiments and theoretical calculations, WP5⊃G–siRNA was constructed via comprehensive weak interactions including electrostatic, hydrophobic–hydrophilic, host–guest and π–π interactions. Therefore, siRNAs were efficiently loaded, maintaining good stability, bioactivities and biocompatibilities. At pH 6.8, G was protonated to give weak acidic-responsive “turn-on” fluorescent signals, which realized the precise location of cancer sites. This triggered a subsequent delivery and a dynamic release of siRNA in cancer cells under acidic conditions for the entire collapse of WP5⊃G–siRNA by the protonation of both WP5 and G. By both in vitro and in vivo experiments, precise and visualized delivery to cancer sites was achieved to exhibit effective tumour inhibition. This provided an efficient and soft strategy of siRNA therapies and expanded the application of supramolecular nanomaterials in diagnosis and treatment. Supramolecular nanomaterials of WP5⊃G–siRNA were constructed by modular and hierarchical self-assembly of siRNA with guest and host molecules, initiating weak acidic-responsive, precise and visualized intracellular delivery for efficient therapies.![]()

Abstract
Biomacromolecular drugs have become an important class of therapeutic agents for the treatment of human diseases. Considering their high propensity for being degraded in the human body, the choice of an appropriate delivery system is key to ensure the therapeutic efficacy of biomacromolecular drugs in vivo. As an emerging class of supramolecular "host" materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit advantages in terms of the tunability of pore size, encapsulation efficiency, controllable drug release, simplicity in surface functionalization and good biocompatibility. As a result, MOF-based host-guest systems have been extensively developed as a new class of flexible and powerful platform for the delivery of therapeutic biomacromolecules. In this review, we summarize current research progress in the synthesis of MOFs as delivery materials for a variety of biomacromolecules. Firstly, we briefly introduce the advances made in the use of biomacromolecular drugs for disease therapy and the types of commonly used clinical delivery systems. We then describe the advantages of using MOFs as delivery materials. Secondly, the strategies for the construction of MOF-encapsulated biomacromolecules (Biomacromolecules@MOFs) and the release mechanisms of the therapeutics are categorized. Thirdly, the application of MOFs to deliver different types of biomacromolecules (e.g., antigens/antibodies, enzymes, therapeutic proteins, DNA/RNA, polypeptides, and polysaccharides) for the treatment of various human diseases based on immunotherapy, gene therapy, starvation therapy and oxidation therapy is summarized. Finally, the remaining challenges and available opportunities for MOFs as drug delivery systems are outlined, which we anticipate will encourage additional research efforts directed towards developing Biomacromolecules@MOFs systems for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Adsorption of polymers from the solution phase has been extensively studied to cope with many demands not only for separation technologies, but also for the development of coatings, adhesives, and biocompatible materials. Most studies hitherto focus on adsorption on flat surfaces and mesoporous adsorbents with open frameworks, plausibly because of the preconceived notion that it is unlikely for polymers to enter a pore with a diameter that is smaller than the gyration diameter of the polymer in solution; therefore, sub-nanoporous materials are rarely considered as a polymer adsorption medium. Here we report that polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are adsorbed into sub-nanometer one-dimensional (1D) pores of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) from various solvents. Isothermal adsorption experiments reveal a unique solvent dependence, which is explained by the balance between polymer solvation propensity for each solvent and enthalpic contributions that compensate for potential entropic losses from uncoiling upon pore admission. In addition, adsorption kinetics identify a peculiar molecular weight (MW) dependence. While short PEGs are adsorbed faster than long ones in single-component adsorption experiments, the opposite trend was observed in double-component competitive experiments. A two-step insertion process consisting of (1) an enthalpy-driven recognition step followed by (2) diffusion regulated infiltration in the restricted 1D channels explains the intriguing selectivity of polymer uptake. Furthermore, liquid chromatography using the MOFs as the stationary phase resulted in significant PEG retention that depends on the MW and temperature. This study provides further insights into the mechanism and thermodynamics behind the present polymer adsorption system, rendering it as a promising method for polymer analysis and separation.

Abstract
Molecular recognition is of paramount importance for modern chemical processes and has now been achieved for small molecules using well-established host-guest chemistry and adsorption-science principles. In contrast, technologies for recognizing polymer structure are relatively undeveloped. Conventional polymer separation methods, which are mostly limited in practice to size-exclusion chromatography and reprecipitation, find it difficult to recognize minute structural differences in polymer structures as such small structural alterations barely influence the polymer characteristics, including molecular size, polarity, and solubility. Therefore, most of the polymeric products being used today contain mixtures of polymers with different structures as it is challenging to completely control polymer structures during synthesis even with state-of-the-art substitution and polymerization techniques. In this context, development of novel techniques that can resolve the challenges of polymer recognition and separation is in great demand, as these techniques hold the promise of a new paradigm in polymer synthesis, impacting not only materials chemistry but also analytical and biological chemistry.In biological systems, precise recognition and translation of base monomer sequences of mRNA are achieved by threading them through small ribosome tunnels. This principle of introducing polymers into nanosized channels can possibly help us design powerful polymer recognition and separation technologies using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as ideal and highly designable recognition media. MOFs are porous materials comprising organic ligands and metal ions and have been extensively studied as porous beds for gas separation and storage. Recently, we found that MOFs can accommodate large polymeric chains in their nanopores. Polymer chains can spontaneously infiltrate MOFs from neat molten and solution phases by threading their terminals into MOF nanochannels. Polymer structures can be recognized and differentiated due to such insertion processes, resulting in the selective adsorption of polymers on MOFs. This enables the precise recognition of the polymer terminus structure, resulting in the perfect separation of a variety of terminal-functionalized polymers that are otherwise difficult to separate by conventional polymer separation methods. Furthermore, the MOFs can recognize polymer shapes, thus enabling the large-scale separation of high purity cyclic polymers from the complex crude mixtures of linear polymers, which are used as precursor materials in common cyclization reactions. In solution-phase adsorption, many factors, including molecular weight, terminal groups, polymer shape, polymer-MOF interaction, and coexisting solvent molecules, influence the selective adsorption behavior; this yields a new liquid chromatography-based polymer separation technology using an MOF as the stationary phase. MOF-packed columns, in which a novel separation mode based on polymer insertion into the MOF operates under a dynamic insertion/rejection equilibrium at the liquid/solid interface, exhibited excellent polymer separation capability. The polymer recognition principle described in this study thus has a high probability for realizing previously unfeasible polymer separations based on monomer composition and sequences, stereoregularity, regioregularity, helicity, and block sequences in synthetic polymers and biomacromolecules.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework nanoparticles (nanoMOFs) have been widely studied in biomedical applications. Although substantial efforts have been devoted to the development of biocompatible approaches, the requirement of tedious synthetic steps, toxic reagents, and limitations on the shelf life of nanoparticles in solution are still significant barriers to their translation to clinical use. In this work, we propose a new postsynthetic modification of nanoMOFs with phosphate-functionalized methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG-PO3) groups which, when combined with lyophilization, leads to the formation of redispersible solid materials. This approach can serve as a facile and general formulation method for the storage of bare or drug-loaded nanoMOFs. The obtained PEGylated nanoMOFs show stable hydrodynamic diameters, improved colloidal stability, and delayed drug-release kinetics compared to their parent nanoMOFs. Ex situ characterization and computational studies reveal that PEGylation of PCN-222 proceeds in a two-step fashion. Most importantly, the lyophilized, PEGylated nanoMOFs can be completely redispersed in water, avoiding common aggregation issues that have limited the use of MOFs in the biomedical field to the wet form-a critical limitation for their translation to clinical use as these materials can now be stored as dried samples. The in vitro performance of the addition of mPEG-PO3 was confirmed by the improved intracellular stability and delayed drug-release capability, including lower cytotoxicity compared with that of the bare nanoMOFs. Furthermore, z-stack confocal microscopy images reveal the colocalization of bare and PEGylated nanoMOFs. This research highlights a facile PEGylation method with mPEG-PO3, providing new insights into the design of promising nanocarriers for drug delivery.

Abstract
Nanopesticides were selected as one of the top 10 emerging technologies in chemistry that will change our world in 2019. Facile, smart, and degradable metal-organic framework MIL-101(FeIII) nanopesticides gated with FeIII-tannic acid (TA) networks are created using a universal strategy. The capping of the FeIII-TA network gatekeepers is instinctively oriented by the coordinatively unsaturated FeIII sites on the surfaces of the MIL-101(FeIII) nanocarriers; thus, their combination is perfectly matched. This is the first example that one smart gated nanoparticle is integrated with seven stimuli-responsive performances to meet the diverse controlled release of encapsulated cargos by the disassembly of the gatekeepers and/or the degradation of the nanocarriers. More importantly, each of the seven stimuli (acidic/alkaline pH, H2O2, glutathione, phosphates, ethylenediaminetetraacetate, and near-infrared light of sunlight) is closely related to the biological and natural environments of crops, and the biocompatible nanocarriers are eventually degraded against bioaccumulation even if the nanopesticides enter crops. These mechanisms of the stimuli-responsive controlled release are identified and clearly elaborated. It is found that the natural polyphenol can improve the wettability of aqueous droplets of nanopesticides on model hydrophobic foliage for pesticide adhesion and retention. The nanopesticides encapsulated with the fungicide tebuconazole show high fungicidal activities against pathogenic fungi Rhizoctonia solani (rice sheath blight) and Fusarium graminearum (wheat head blight); good safety on seed germination, seedling emergence, and plant height of wheat by seed dressing; and satisfactory control efficacy in wheat powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis in the greenhouse. The nanopesticides have potential applications in the field for high quality and yield of agricultural production.

Abstract
Therapeutic nucleic acids hold immense potential in combating undruggable, gene-based diseases owing to their high programmability and relative ease of synthesis. While the delivery of this class of therapeutics has successfully entered the clinical setting, extrahepatic targeting, endosomal escape efficiency, and subcellular localization. On the other hand, viruses serve as natural carriers of nucleic acids and have acquired a plethora of structures and mechanisms that confer remarkable transfection efficiency. Thus, understanding the structure and mechanism of viruses can guide the design of synthetic nucleic acid vectors. This review revisits relevant structural and mechanistic features of viruses as design considerations for efficient nucleic acid delivery systems. This article explores how viral ligand display and a metastable structure are central to the molecular mechanisms of attachment, entry, and viral genome release. For comparison, accounted for are details on the design and intracellular fate of existing nucleic acid carriers and nanostructures that share similar and essential features to viruses. The review, thus, highlights unifying themes of viruses and nucleic acid delivery systems such as genome protection, target specificity, and controlled release. Sophisticated viral mechanisms that are yet to be exploited in oligonucleotide delivery are also identified as they could further the development of next-generation nonviral nucleic acid vectors.

Abstract
The use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in biomedical applications has greatly expanded over the past decade due to the precision tunability, high surface areas, and high loading capacities of MOFs. Specifically, MOFs are being explored for a wide variety of drug delivery applications. Initially, MOFs were used for delivery of small-molecule pharmaceuticals; however, more recent work has focused on macromolecular cargos, such as proteins and nucleic acids. Here, we review the historical application of MOFs for drug delivery, with a specific focus on the available options for designing MOFs for specific drug delivery applications. These options include choices of MOF structure, synthetic method, and drug loading. Further considerations include tuning, modifications, biocompatibility, cellular targeting, and uptake. Altogether, this Review aims to guide MOF design for novel biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biologics, such as functional proteins and nucleic acids, have recently dominated the drug market and comprise seven out of the top 10 best-selling drugs. Biologics are usually polar, heat sensitive, membrane impermeable and subject to enzymatic degradation and thus require systemic routes of administration and delivery. Coordination-based delivery vehicles, which include nanosized extended metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) and discrete coordination cages, have gained a lot of attention because of their remarkable biocompatibility, in vivo stability, on-demand biodegradability, high encapsulation efficiency, easy surface modification and moderate synthetic conditions. Consequently, these systems have been extensively utilized as carriers of biomacromolecules for biomedical applications. This review summarizes the recent applications of nMOFs and coordination cages for protein, CRISPR-Cas9, DNA and RNA delivery. We also highlight the progress and challenges of coordination-based platforms as a promising approach towards clinical biomacromolecule delivery and discuss integral future research directions and applications.

Abstract
A porous organic cage crystal, α-CC2, shows unexpected adsorption of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) in its cage cavities: analysis of the static crystal structure indicates that SF6 is occluded, as even the smallest diatomic gas, H2, is larger than the window of the cage pore. Herein, we use in situ powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) experiments to provide unequivocal evidence for the presence of SF6 inside the 'occluded' cage voids, pointing to a mechanism of dynamic flexibility of the system. By combining PXRD results with molecular dynamics simulations, we build a molecular level picture of the cooperative porosity in α-CC2 that facilitates the passage of SF6 into the cage voids.
