Abstract
Nanoparticle-based systems are extensively investigated for drug delivery. Among others, with superior biocompatibility and enhanced targeting capacity, albumin appears to be a promising carrier for drug delivery. Albumin nanoparticles are highly favored in many disease therapies, as they have the proper chemical groups for modification, cell-binding sites for cell adhesion, and affinity to protein drugs for nanocomplex generation. Herein, this review summarizes the recent fabrication techniques, modification strategies, and application of albumin nanoparticles. We first discuss various albumin nanoparticle fabrication methods, from both pros and cons. Then, we provide a comprehensive introduction to the modification section, including organic albumin nanoparticles, metal albumin nanoparticles, inorganic albumin nanoparticles, and albumin nanoparticle-based hybrids. We finally bring further perspectives on albumin nanoparticles used for various critical diseases.

Abstract
Metallic nanomaterials have gained significant attention in cancer therapy as potential nanocarriers due to their unique properties at the nanoscale. However, nanomaterials face several drawbacks, including biocompatibility, stability, and cellular uptake. Hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles are emerging as promising nano-carriers to reduce adverse outcomes of conventional chemotherapeutics. However, the shape-mediated drug carrier mechanics of hematite nanomaterials are not raveled. In this study, we tailored hematite nanoparticles in ellipsoidal (EHNP) and spherical (SHNP) shapes with excellent biocompatibility and efficient drug encapsulation and release. We elucidate that EHNP exhibits higher cellular uptake than SHNP. With effective cellular internalization, the cisplatin-loaded EHNP showed excellent cytotoxicity with an IC50 value of 200 nM compared to the cisplatin-loaded SHNP. The flow cytometry cell sorting (FACS) analysis showed a four-fold increase in cell death by arresting the cells at the G0/G1 and G1 phases for cis-EHNP compared to cis-SHNP. The results show that ellipsoidal-shaped hematite nanoparticles can act as attractive nanocarriers with improved therapeutic efficacy in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Lysosomes play a central role in biochemical signal transduction and oxidative stress in cells. Inducing lysosome membrane penetration (LMP) to cause lysosomal-dependent cell death (LCD) in tumor cells is an effective strategy for cancer therapy. Chemical drugs can destroy the stability of lysosomes by neutralizing protons within the lysosomes or enhancing the fragility of the lysosomal membranes. However, there remain several unsolved problems of traditional drugs in LMP induction due to insufficient lysosomal targeting, fast metabolism, and toxicity in normal cells. With the development of nanotechnology, magnetic nanoparticles have been demonstrated to target lysosomes naturally, providing a versatile tool for lysosomal modulation. Combined with excellent tissue penetration and spatiotemporal manipulability of magnetic fields, magnetic modulation of lysosomes progresses rapidly in inducing LMP and LCD for cancer therapy. This review comprehensively discussed the strategies of magnetic modulation of lysosomes for cancer therapy. The intrinsic mechanisms of LMP-induced LCD were first introduced. Then, the modulation of lysosomes by diverse physical outputs of magnetic fields was emphatically discussed. Looking forward, this review will shed the light on the prospect of magnetic modulation of lysosomes, inspiring future research of magnetic modulation strategy in cancer therapy.

[PMID: 37631346 PMCID: PMC10459898 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15082132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is one of the most aggressive types of human cancers. Although paclitaxel (PTX) was proven to exert potent anti-tumor effects against ICC, the delivery of PTX is still challenging due to its hydrophobic property. Nanoparticle (NP)-based carriers have been proven to be effective drug delivery vehicles. Among their physicochemical properties, the shape of NPs plays a crucial role in their performance of cellular internalization and thus anti-tumor efficacy of loaded drugs. In this study, dumbbell-like and snowman-like dimer NPs, composed of a polylactic acid (PLA) bulb and a shellac bulb, were designed and prepared as drug nanocarriers to enhance the efficiency of cellular uptake and anti-tumor performance. PLA/shellac dimer NPs prepared through rapid solvent exchange and controlled co-precipitation are biocompatible and their shape could flexibly be tuned by adjusting the concentration ratio of shellac to PLA. Drug-loaded snowman-like PLA/shellac dimer NPs with a sharp shape exhibit the highest cellular uptake and best cell-killing ability against cancer cells in an in vitro ICC model over traditional spherical NPs and dumbbell-like dimer NPs, as proven with the measurements of flow cytometry, fluorescent confocal microscopy, and the CCK8 assay. The underlying mechanism may be attributed to the lower surface energy required for the smaller bulbs of snowman-like PLA/shellac dimer NPs to make the initial contact with the cell membrane, which facilitates the subsequent penetration through the cellular membrane. Therefore, these dimer NPs provide a versatile platform to tune the shape of NPs and develop innovative drug nanocarriers that hold great promise to enhance cellular uptake and therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
In general, wound healing is a highly ordered process, with distinct phases of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. However, among diabetic patients, the progression through these phases is often impeded by increased level of oxidative stress and persistent inflammation. Our previous studies demonstrated that cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNPs) conjugated with therapeutic microRNA146a (miR146a) could effectively enhance wound healing by targeting the NFκB pathway, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. In the present study, we consider the potential effects of nanomaterial surface-faceting and morphology on the efficacy of miRNA delivery. Compared with octahedral-CNPs and cubic-CNPs, rod-CNPs exhibited higher loading capacity. In addition, in comparing the influence of particle morphology on wound healing efficacy, several markers for bioactivity were evaluated and ascribed to the combined effects of the gene delivery and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging properties. In the cellular treatment study, rod-CNP-miR146a displayed the greatest miR146a delivery into cells. However, the reduction of IL-6 was only observed in the octahedral-CNP-miR146a, suggesting that the efficacy of the miRNA delivery is a result of the combination of various factors. Overall, our results give enlightenments into the relative delivery efficiency of the CNPs with different morphology enhancing miRNA delivery efficacy.

Abstract
Current atherosclerosis treatment is based on a combination of cholesterol-lowering medication and low-fat diets; however, the clinical effect is unsatisfactory. It has been shown that the level of immune cell infiltration and pro-inflammatory factors in the atherosclerotic immune microenvironment (AIM) play important roles in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Therefore, we hypothesized that reshaping "hot AIM" into "cold AIM" could attenuate atherosclerosis. For this purpose, we designed a pH-responsive and charge-reversible nanosystem, referred to as Au-PEI/shSiglec-1/PEI-acetylsalicylic acid (ASPA NPs) to effectively deliver shSiglec-1, which blocked the interactions between macrophages with CD8+ T/NKT cells, thus inhibiting immune cell infiltration. Further, we demonstrated that acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), detached from the pH-responsive PEI-ASA polymer, and inhibited lipid accumulation in macrophage, thereby decreasing the lipid antigen presentation. Additionally, reduced macrophage-produced inflammatory factors by ASA and low CD8+ T/NKT cell infiltration levels synergistically inhibit Th17 cell differentiation, thus further dramatically attenuating inflammation in AIM by decreasing the IL-17A production. Eventually, ASPA NPs efficiently reshaped AIM by inhibiting immune cell infiltration, lipid antigen presentation, and pro-inflammation, which provided a feasible therapeutic strategy for atherosclerosis immunotherapy.

Abstract
Combination therapy is extensively developed for cancer treatment in recent years due to its high efficiency. Herein, we constructed a nanocomposite based on gold nanorods (GNRs) and drug-loaded tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDN) for chemo-photothermal combinational therapy. Anti-tumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded via the insertion within GC base pairs of TDN. The aptamer AS1411 was attached to the apex of TDN (ATDN) to target tumor cells. The DOX-loaded DNA tetrahedron (ATDN-DOX) was compressed by the GNRs coated with PEI (GNRs@ATDN-DOX) to realize the photothermal function and lysosome escape. GNRs under the illumination of 808 nm infrared laser showed high photothermal conversion and stability due to the protection of PEI layer. The drug-loading capacity of ATDN-DOX was as high as 314 DOX molecules in per ATDN. The positive charge of PEI in GNRs@ATDN-DOX nanocomposites was utilized to achieve excellent cell penetration and induce proton sponge effect for lysosomal escape. The nanocomposites presented HeLa and 4T1 cells targeting and resulted in efficient anticancer activity.

Abstract
The production of dynamic, environment-responsive shape-tunable biomaterials marks a significant step forward in the construction of synthetic materials that can easily rival their natural counterparts. Significant progress has been made in the self-assembly of bio-materials. However, the self-assembly of a peptide into morphologically distinct auto-fluorescent nanostructures, without the incorporation of any external moiety is still in its infancy. Hence, in this study, we have developed peptide-based self-assembled auto-fluorescent nanostructures that can shuttle between 1D and 2D morphologies. Different morphological nanostructures are well known to have varied cellular internalization efficiencies. Taking advantage of our morphologically different particles emanating from the same peptide monomer, we further explored the intracellular fate of our nanostructures. We observed that the nanostructures' cellular internalization is a complex process that gets influenced by particle morphology and this might further affect their intracellular drug delivery potential. Overall, this study provides initial cues for the preparation of environment-responsive shape-shifting peptide-nano assemblies. Efforts have also been made to understand their shape driven cellular uptake behaviour, along with establishing them as nanocarriers for the cellular delivery of therapeutic molecules.

Abstract
The advent of genome editing has transformed the therapeutic landscape for several debilitating diseases, and the clinical outlook for gene therapeutics has never been more promising. The therapeutic potential of nucleic acids has been limited by a reliance on engineered viral vectors for delivery. Chemically defined polymers can remediate technological, regulatory, and clinical challenges associated with viral modes of gene delivery. Because of their scalability, versatility, and exquisite tunability, polymers are ideal biomaterial platforms for delivering nucleic acid payloads efficiently while minimizing immune response and cellular toxicity. While polymeric gene delivery has progressed significantly in the past four decades, clinical translation of polymeric vehicles faces several formidable challenges. The aim of our Account is to illustrate diverse concepts in designing polymeric vectors towards meeting therapeutic goals of in vivo and ex vivo gene therapy. Here, we highlight several classes of polymers employed in gene delivery and summarize the recent work on understanding the contributions of chemical and architectural design parameters. We touch upon characterization methods used to visualize and understand events transpiring at the interfaces between polymer, nucleic acids, and the physiological environment. We conclude that interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies motivated by fundamental questions are key to designing high-performing polymeric vehicles for gene therapy.

Abstract
Polyethylenimines (PEIs) have been shown as efficient gene delivery vectors due to their unique properties, however, toxicity as well as non-specific interactions with the tissues/cells because of high charge density have hampered their use in clinical applications. To counter these concerns, here, we have prepared disachharide-PEI organic nanoparticles by mixing PEIs with non-reducing disaccharides, i.e. trehalose (TPONs) and sucrose (SPONs), under mild conditions. The fabricated nanoparticles were complexed with pDNA and size of these complexes was found in the range of ~130-162 nm with zeta potential ~ +8-25 mV. Further evaluation of these nanoparticles revealed that substitution of disaccharides on PEIs successfully augmented cell viability. Transfection efficiency exhibited by these complexes was significantly higher than the unmodified polymer and the standard, Lipofectamine, complexes. Fabrication of organic nanoparticles did not alter the buffering capacity considerably which was found to be instrumental during endosomal escape of the complexes. Among both the series of nanoparticles, trehalose-PEI organic nanoparticles (TPONs) exhibited greater pDNA transportation potential than sucrose-PEI organic nanoparticles (SPONs) which was also established by flow cytometric data, wherein percent cells expressing GFP was higher in case of TP/pDNA complexes as compared to SP/pDNA complexes. Interestingly, TPONs also showed promising anticancer activity on cancer cell lines i.e. Mg63, MCF-7 and HepG2. Overall, the results advocate promising potential of disaccharide-PEI organic nanoparticles as efficient gene delivery agents which can be used effectively in future gene therapy applications along with anti-cancer competence of TPONs.

Abstract
Elucidating the polyethyleneimine (PEI) chemistry to predictively and reproducibly synthesize gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-PEI conjugates with desired properties has been elusive despite evaluation in numerous studies and reported enhanced properties. The lack of reproducible methods to control the core size and stability has led to contradictory results for performance and safety; thus, advancement of the conjugate platform for commercial use has likely been hindered. Recently, we reported a robust, reproducible method for synthesizing PEI-functionalized AuNPs (Au-PEIs), providing an opportunity to investigate structure-function relationships and to further investigate synthesis parameters affecting performance, where only materials stable in biological media are candidates for use. The properties of Au-PEIs prepared by the optimized reduction of HAuCl4 using four different structural variants of PEI changed significantly with the PEI molar mass and backbone form (branched or linear). In the present study using our previously reported synthesis procedure, comprehensive analysis of properties such as size distribution, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), morphological state, surface functionality, and the shelf life has been systematically evaluated to elucidate the role of surface chemistry and reactive groups involved in conjugation, as a function of conjugate size and morphology. Being important for commercial adoption, the chemistry was related to the observed colloidal stability of the product in relevant media, including exposure to physiological variables such as salt, pH, proteins, and thermal changes. Overall, this work advances progress toward smart design of engineered nanoscale drug delivery systems and devices by providing unreported details of contributions affecting formation, stability, and fate.

Abstract
Gene delivery to stem cells is a critical issue of stem cells-based therapies, still facing ongoing challenges regarding efficiency and safety. Recent advances in the controlled synthesis of biocompatible magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have provided a powerful nanotool for assisting gene delivery to stem cells. However, this field is still at an early stage, with well-designed and scalable IONPs synthesis highly desired. Furthermore, the potential risks or bioeffects of IONPs on stem cells are not completely figured out. Therefore, in this review, the updated researches focused on the gene delivery to stem cells using various designed IONPs are highlighted. Additionally, the impacts of the physicochemical properties of IONPs, as well as the magnetofection systems on the gene delivery performance and biocompatibility are summarized. Finally, challenges attributed to the potential impacts of IONPs on the biologic behaviors of stem cells and the large-scale productions of uniform IONPs are emphasized. The principles and challenges summarized in this review provide a general guidance for the rational design of IONPs-assisted gene delivery to stem cells.

Abstract
Tumor-targeted delivery of imaging nanoprobes provides a promising approach for the precision imaging diagnosis of cancers. Nanoprobes with desired bio-nano interface properties can preferably enter tumor tissues through the vascular endothelium, penetrate into deep tissues, and detect target lesions. Surface engineering of nanoparticles offers a critical strategy to improve tumor-targeting capacities of nanoprobes. Improvements to the efficacy of targeted nanoprobes have been intensively explored and much of this work centers on the selection of suitable targeting ligands. Herein, in this review, various recent strategies based on different targeting ligands to improve tumor-targeting of imaging nanoprobes have been developed, ranging from small molecule ligands to biomimetic coatings, with highlights on emerging coating techniques using cell membranes and dual-targeting ligands. In particular, construction and surface modification methods, targeting capacities, and imaging/theranostic performance with key issues and potential questions have been described and discussed together with considerations for future development and innovations.

Abstract
: The aim of the current study is to present a strategy to improve the efficiency of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), which is widely used as antineoplastic agent against solid tumors-based on the use of gold nanocarriers to overcome the resistance of colorectal cancer cells. 5-FU was loaded on gold nanoparticles (AuNP) coated with anti-EGFR antibodies in order to target them towards colorectal cancer cells that overexpress epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR). Physicochemical characterization has shown that AuNP size was approximately 20 nm and that AuNP functionalization led to spherical nanoparticles. Flow cytometry allowed observing that some compounds synthesized by our research group have induced apoptosis/necrosis and impaired the proliferation of colon cancer cell lines 'HCT-116' and 'HT-29'. The antibody/drug combination in AuNP (AuNP 5FU EGFR) has improved the apoptosis rate and impaired cell proliferation in both cell lines, regardless of the exposure time. Overall, these results have shown that AuNP functionalization with monoclonal antibodies focused on delivering 5-FU to tumor cells is an exciting strategy against colorectal cancer.

Abstract
In recent years, nano carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have received increasing attention due to their properties such as small size, fluorescence emission, chemical stability, water solubility, easy synthesis, and the possibility of functionalization. CQDs are fluorescent 0D carbon nanostructures with sizes below 10 nm. The fluorescence in CQDs originates from two sources, the fluorescence emission from bandgap transitions of conjugated π-domains and fluorescence from surface defects. The CQDs can emit fluorescence in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region which makes them appropriate for biomedical applications. The fluorescence in these structures can be tuned with respect to the excitation wavelength. The CQDs have found applications in different areas such as biomedicine, photocatalysis, photosensors, solar energy conversion, light emitting diodes (LEDs), etc. The biomedical applications of CQDs include bioimaging, drug delivery, gene delivery, and cancer therapy. The fluorescent CQDs have low toxicity and other exceptional physicochemical properties in comparison to heavy metals semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) which make them superior candidates for biomedical applications. In this review, the synthesis routes and optical properties of the CQDs are clarified and recent advances in CQDs biomedical applications in bioimaging (in vivo and in vitro), drug delivery, cancer therapy, their potential to pass blood-brain barrier (BBB), and gene delivery are discussed.

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate intravenously injected bovine serum albumin-templated gold nanoparticles (BSA-GNPs) for radiosensitization effects on H22 hepatoma-bearing mice. Materials & methods: BSA-GNPs in different size were injected intravenously with a dose of 4 mg Au/kg. After 30 min injection, the tumor-bearing mice were irradiated with 5 Gy x-ray. Results: BSA-GNPs in 8, 50 and 187 nm were synthesized and have no obvious cytotoxicity to HeLa, HepG2 and HeCat cells when the concentration was up to 32 μM. And no obvious physiological injury of mice occurred when the intravenous injection dose was 4 mg Au/kg. In vivo study indicates 8 and 50 nm BSA-GNPs can inhibit tumor growth through inducing apoptosis in radiotherapy, with enhancement factors 1.93 and 2.02, respectively. Conclusion: BSA-GNPs in 8 and 50 nm are promising radiosensitizers in radiotherapy of subcutaneously transplanted hepatocarcinoma.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Although drugs and surgery can relieve the symptoms of PD, these therapies are incapable of fundamentally treating the disease. For PD patients, over-expression of α-synuclein (SNCA) leads to the death of dopaminergic neurons. This process can be prevented by suppressing SNCA over-expression through RNA interference. Here, we successfully synthesized gold nanoparticles (GNP) composites (CTS@GNP-pDNA-NGF) via the combination of electrostatic adsorption and photochemical immobilization, which could load plasmid DNA (pDNA) and target specific cell types. GNP was transfected into cells via endocytosis to inhibiting the apoptosis of PC12 cells and dopaminergic neurons. Simultaneously, GNP composites are also used in PD models in vivo, and it can successfully cross the blood-brain barrier by contents of GNP in the mice brain. In general, all the works demonstrated that GNP composites have good therapeutic effects for PD models in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical immunosensor for the quantification of α-feto protein (AFP) using a nanocomposite of manganese(iv) oxide nanorods (MnO2NRs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the immobilisation layer is presented. The MnO2NRs was synthesised using a hydrothermal method and AuNPs were electrodeposited on a glassy carbon electrode surface. The MnO2NRs were characterised with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to characterise the immunosensor at each stage of the biosensor preparation. The MnO2 nanorods and AuNPs were applied as the immobilisation layer to efficiently capture the antibodies and amplify the electrochemical signal. Under optimised conditions, the fabricated immunosensor was utilised for the quantification of AFP with a wide dynamic range of 0.005 to 500 ng mL−1 and detection limits of 0.00276 ng mL−1 and 0.00172 ng mL−1 (S/N = 3) were obtained from square wave anodic stripping voltammetry and EIS respectively. The nanocomposite modifier enhanced the immunosensor performance. More so, this label-free immunosensor possesses good stability over a period of two weeks when stored at 4 °C and was selective in the presence of some interfering species. A novel electrochemical immunosensor for the quantification of α-feto protein (AFP) using a nanocomposite of manganese(iv) oxide nanorods (MnO2NRs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the immobilisation layer is presented.![]()
