Abstract
It is the scientific basis of precision medicine to study all of the targets of drugs based on the interaction between drugs and proteins. It is worth paying attention to unknown proteins that interact with drugs to find new targets for the design of new drugs. Herein, we developed a protein profiling strategy based on drug-protein interactions and drug-modified magnetic nanoparticles and took hepatitis C virus (HCV) and its corresponding drug sofosbuvir (SOF) as an example. A SOF-modified magnetic separation medium (Fe3O4@POSS@SOF) was prepared, and a gradient elution strategy was employed and optimized to profile specific proteins interacted with SOF. A series of proteomic analyses were performed to profile proteins based on SOF-protein interactions (SPIs) in the serum of HCV patients to evaluate the specificity of the profiling strategy. As a result, five proteins were profiled with strong SPIs and exhibited high relevance with liver tissue, which were potentially new drug targets. Among them, HSP60 was used to confirm the highly specific interactions between the SOF and its binding proteins by Western blotting analysis. Besides, 124 and 29 differential proteins were profiled by SOF material from three HCV patient serum and pooled 20 HCV patient serum, respectively, by comparing with healthy human serum. In comparison with those profiled by the polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) material, differential proteins profiled by the SOF material were highly associated with liver diseases through GO analysis and pathway analysis. Furthermore, four common differential proteins profiled by SOF material but not by POSS material were found to be identical and expressed consistently in both pooled serum samples and independent serum samples, which might potentially be biomarkers of HCV infection. Taken together, our study proposes a highly specific protein profiling strategy to display distinctive proteomic profiles, providing a novel idea for drug design and development.

J Control Release 2024; 367:93-106. [PMID: 38237690 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2024.01.014] [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: 08/27/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
The administration of protein therapeutics through oral means is seen as a convenient and painless experience for patients, making it a significant consideration in the field of drug delivery. Nevertheless, the challenging conditions within the gastrointestinal tract, along with the obstacles to absorption, impede the efficient transportation of proteins. Here, we successfully implemented post-synthetic modifications to attach medium-chain lipids (C10) onto the surface of zeolitic imidazole framework-90 (ZIF-90), then encapsulated the nanoparticles with sodium alginate, resulting in a potential platform for the oral administration of proteins. By means of biomimetic mineralization, ZIF-90 achieves a simple and efficient encapsulation of proteins of varying sizes, while shielding them against degradation by digestive enzymes. Sodium alginate hydrogel protects proteins against gastric acid and helps the cargo to rapidly penetrate the mucus layer. Through a mixed mechanism dominated by micropinocytosis, the C10-conjugated ZIF-90 (ZIF-90-C10) can be uptake by Caco-2 cells with a 200-400% increase and transported through the Golgi apparatus after escaping from lysosomes, exhibiting enhanced uptake in the overall gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, ZIF-90-C10 retains its adenosine triphosphate-responsive release, which drastically lowers the likelihood of accumulation in vivo and allows targeted delivery for disease cells. Our work highlights mid-chain lipid conjugation as a potent approach to enhancing nanoparticle delivery efficiency and a potential strategy for oral delivery of biomacromolecules when combined with pH-responsive gels.

Abstract
The swift and deadly spread of infectious diseases, alongside the rapid advancement of scientific technology in the past several centuries, has led to the invention of various methods for protecting people from infection. In recent years, a class of crystalline porous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), has shown great potential in constructing defense systems against infectious diseases. This review addresses current approaches to combating infectious diseases through the utilization of MOFs in vaccine development, antiviral and antibacterial treatment, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Along with an updated account of MOFs used for designing defense systems against infectious diseases, directions are also suggested for expanding avenues of current MOF research to develop more effective approaches and tools to prevent the widespread nature of infectious diseases.

Abstract
Porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered to be suitable materials for immobilizing enzymes to improve their stability. However, conventional MOFs reduce the enzymes' catalytic activity due to difficulties with mass transfer and diffusing reactants after their micropores are occupied by enzyme molecules. To address these issues, a novel hierarchically structured zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (HZIF-8) was prepared to study the effects of different laccase immobilization approaches such as the post-synthesis (LAC@HZIF-8-P) and de novo (LAC@HZIF-8-D) immobilization of catalytic activities for removing 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP). The results showed higher catalytic activity for the laccase-immobilized LAC@HZIF-8 prepared using different methods than for the LAC@MZIF-8 sample, with 80% of 2,4-DCP removed under optimal conditions. These results could be attributable to the multistage structure of HZIF-8. The LAC@HZIF-8-D sample was stable and superior to LAC@HZIF-8-P, maintaining a 2,4-DCP removal efficiency of 80% after three recycles and demonstrating superior laccase thermostability and storage stability. Moreover, after loading with copper nanoparticles, the LAC@HZIF-8-D approach exhibited a 2,4-DCP removal efficiency of 95%, a promising finding for its potential use in environmental purification.

Abstract
Peptide-derived metal-organic frameworks (PMOFs) have emerged as a class of biomimetic materials with attractive performances in analytical and bioanalytical chemistry. The incorporation of biomolecule peptides gives the frameworks conformational flexibility, guest adaptability, built-in chirality, and molecular recognition ability, which greatly accelerate the applications of PMOFs in enantiomeric separation, affinity separation, and the enrichment of bioactive species from complicated samples. This review focuses on the recent advances in the engineering and applications of PMOFs in selective separation. The unique biomimetic size-, enantio-, and affinity-selective performances for separation are discussed along with the chemical structures and functions of MOFs and peptides. Updates of the applications of PMOFs in adaptive separation of small molecules, chiral separation of drug molecules, and affinity isolation of bioactive species are summarized. Finally, the promising future and remaining challenges of PMOFs for selective separation of complex biosamples are discussed.

Abstract
Herein, a novel immunochromatographic assay (ICA) based on metal-organic framework-decorated polydopamine (MOF@PDA) was firstly developed for the determination of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) adulteration in functional foods. The coupling rate of MOF@PDA carrier to HCTZ antibody was as high as 91.7 %. The detection limits of the developed MOF@PDA-ICA in functional tablets and capsules were 5.93 and 4.72 μg/kg, the linear ranges were 11.2-91.91 μg/kg and 9.11-86.78 μg/kg, respectively. The sensitivity was 27-fold higher than that of the reported ICA. The recovery was 82.5-116.6 %, and coefficient of variation was 6.9-14.2 %. The results can be achieved and analyzed in 8 min with the smartphone-based detection device. The parallel tests of 23 commercial functional tablets and capsules showed that the results of the MOF@PDA-ICA were consistent with that of the LC-MS/MS (R2 > 0.99). Therefore, our method is facile, sensitive, portable, and can provide a reliable technical mean for the detection of HCTZ adulteration in functional foods.

Abstract
The primary goal of peri-implantitis treatments remains the decontamination of implant surfaces exposed to polymicrobial biofilms and renders biocompatibility. In this study, we reported a synergistic strategy for the debridement and re-osteogenesis of contaminated titanium by using erythritol air abrasion (AA) coupled with an as-synthesized pH-responsive antimicrobial agent. Here, the anionic antibacterial peptide Maximin H5 C-terminally deaminated isoform (MH5C) was introduced into the Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIF-8) via a one-pot synthesis process. The formed MH5C@ZIF-8 nanoparticles (NPs) not only possessed suitable stability, but also guarantee the slow-release effect of MH5C. Antibacterial experiments revealed that MH5C@ZIF-8 NPs exhibited excellent antimicrobial abilities toward pathogenic bacteria of peri-implantitis, confirming ZIF-8 NPs as efficient nanoplatforms for delivering antibacterial peptide. To evaluate the comprehensive debridement efficiency, single-species as well as mixed-species biofilms were successively established on commercially used titanium surfaces and decontaminated with different methods: removed only by erythritol air abrasion, treated merely with MH5C@ZIF-8 NPs, or received both managements. The results demonstrated that only erythritol air abrasion accompanied with MH5C@ZIF-8 NPs at high concentrations eliminated almost all retained bacteria and impeded biofilm rehabilitation, while neither erythritol air abrasion nor MH5C@ZIF-8 NPs alone could achieve this. Subsequently, we evaluated the re-osteogenesis on previously contaminated surfaces which were treated with different debridement methods afterwards. We found that cell growth and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in the group received both treatments (AA + MH5C@ZIF-8) were higher than those in other groups. Our work emphasized the great potential of the synergistic therapy as a credible alternative for removing microorganisms and rendering re-osseointegration on contaminated implant surfaces, boding well for the comprehensive applications in peri-implantitis treatments.

Abstract
Materials are needed to increase the stability and half-life of therapeutic proteins during delivery. These materials should be biocompatible and biodegradable. Here, we demonstrate that enzymes and immunoproteins can be encapsulated inside cyclodextrin based metal-organic frameworks using potassium as the metal node. The release profile can be controlled with the solubility of the cyclodextrin linker. The activity of the proteins after release is determined using catalytic and in vitro assays. The results show that cyclodextrin metal-organic framework-based protein biocomposites are a promising class of materials to deliver therapeutic proteins.

Abstract
Biomimetic nanomaterials (BNMs) are functional materials containing nanoscale components and having structural and technological similarities to natural (biogenic) prototypes. Despite the fact that biomimetic approaches in materials technology have been used since the second half of the 20th century, BNMs are still at the forefront of materials science. This review considered a general classification of such nanomaterials according to the characteristic features of natural analogues that are reproduced in the preparation of BNMs, including biomimetic structure, biomimetic synthesis, and the inclusion of biogenic components. BNMs containing magnetic, metal, or metal oxide organic and ceramic structural elements (including their various combinations) were considered separately. The BNMs under consideration were analyzed according to the declared areas of application, which included tooth and bone reconstruction, magnetic and infrared hyperthermia, chemo- and immunotherapy, the development of new drugs for targeted therapy, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory therapy, and bioimaging. In conclusion, the authors’ point of view is given about the prospects for the development of this scientific area associated with the use of native, genetically modified, or completely artificial phospholipid membranes, which allow combining the physicochemical and biological properties of biogenic prototypes with high biocompatibility, economic availability, and scalability of fully synthetic nanomaterials.

Abstract
The dentin matrix is a collagenous scaffold structurally involved in anchoring resin-based materials to the tooth. Time-dependent degradation of this scaffold at the resin-dentin interface remains a core problem in adhesive dentistry, limiting the service life of dental fillings. This study explored the use of emergent materials termed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)─formed by the self-assembly of metal ions and organic building blocks─to safeguard the collagen integrity in the functional dentin matrix. We demonstrate that collagen fibrils (from demineralized human dentin) can induce the biomimetic growth of MOF crystals as protective coatings to strengthen and stabilize the fibrils. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), a zinc-based microporous MOF, was used to fabricate the MOF composites via a "one-pot" reaction in water. The ZIF-modified dentin matrix presented superior mechanical strength and resistance to proteolysis, which can positively affect the longevity of collagen as an anchoring substrate. This work identifies a potential biomedical application of biomimetically synthesized MOFs in repairing dental tissues critical to restorative therapies.

Abstract
Rebuilding mineralized tissues in skeletal and dental systems remains costly and challenging. Despite numerous demands and heavy clinical burden over the world, sources of autografts, allografts, and xenografts are far limited, along with massive risks including viral infections, ethic crisis, and so on. Per such dilemma, artificial scaffolds have emerged to provide efficient alternatives. To date, cell-free biomimetic mineralization (BM) and cell-dependent scaffolds have both demonstrated promising capabilities of regenerating mineralized tissues. However, BM and cell-dependent scaffolds have distinctive mechanisms for mineral genesis, which makes them methodically, synthetically, and functionally disparate. Herein, these two strategies in regenerative dentistry and orthopedics are systematically summarized at the level of mechanisms. For BM, methodological and theoretical advances are focused upon; and meanwhile, for cell-dependent scaffolds, it is demonstrated how scaffolds orchestrate osteogenic cell fate. The summary of the experimental advances and clinical progress will endow researchers with mechanistic understandings of artificial scaffolds in rebuilding hard tissues, by which better clinical choices and research directions may be approached.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 11:2665.

Abstract
Three amphiphilic peptides with varied molecular hydrophobicity, charge number and charge location have been designed as regulators to modulate the crystal growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). All three peptides can interact with ZIF-8 to inhibit {100} facet growth and produce truncated cubic crystals. The peptide's molecular hydrophobicity plays a dominant role in defining the final morphology and size of the ZIF-8 crystals. The peptides with less charge and higher hydrophobicity can promote nuclei formation and crystal growth to give smaller ZIF-8 crystals. However, the charge located in the center of the molecular hydrophobic region has little effect on the crystal nucleation and growth due to the shielding of its charge by molecular aggregation. The study provides insights into the effect of molecular charge and hydrophobicity on ZIF-8 crystal growth and is helpful for guiding the molecular design for regulating the synthesis of metal-organic framework materials.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks are a class of new and promising anti-cancer materials. MOFs with adjustable pore size, large specific surface area, diverse structure, and excellent chemical and physical properties make them a class of effective protection carriers for anti-cancer substances. This review is centered on the core point of "anti-cancer" and discusses MOFs' research progress in anti-cancer therapies. Firstly, we provided readers with the different types of MOFs, their preparation strategies and the resulting structures. Then, different MOF composites and their biological applications were systematically presented. The specificity of biomolecules endows MOFs with broader anti-cancer applications, while MOFs can protect the drugs and biomolecules to make the best of a challenging situation. Finally, we elucidated a comprehensive overview of the biological applications of MOFs, including research hotspots as drug delivery and biomolecule carriers. Besides, we looked forward to the future developments of MOFs in the field of anti-cancer therapies. As a class of novel materials, the anti-cancer applications of MOFs are extended through the combination of different materials and different methods to improve their efficacy.

Abstract
Labeling nanoparticles with fluorescent dyes is a common approach to investigate their cell uptake and biodistribution, providing valuable information for the preclinical assessment of nanoparticles for drug delivery. However, the underlying assumption that the fluorescence intensity of dye-labeled nanoparticles correlates positively with the amount of nanoparticles taken up by cells might not be valid under some conditions, as it can be affected by many factors including dye dispersion, dye quenching, and material shading. Here we demonstrated that both nanoparticles with hydrophobic dyes encapsulated inside and nanoparticles with hydrophilic dyes conjugated on the particle surface suffer from different degrees of dye quenching, making it challenging for quantitative comparison of cell uptake of different nanoparticles. To address this challenge, we proposed a possible solution for direct comparative studies of dye-labeled nanoparticles. This work provides valuable information for designing and evaluating different nanoparticles for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Peptides with a sequence of Nap-Ix-GPLGLAG-R4-NH2 (x = 2, 4, and 6, shorted as I2R4, I4R4, and I6R4) were used as capping agents for the synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) in water. Peptide addition can significantly inhibit the growth of ZIF-8 crystals. The shape and size of ZIF-8 crystals was related closely to the number of isoleucine (Ile, I) residues as well as concentration of the peptide. The shape of ZIF-8 crystals changes from rhomboid dodecahedron to truncated rhombic dodecahedron to cube with the decreasing number of isoleucine residues from six to two. At a peptide concentration of 1.0 mM, the morphology of ZIF-8 crystals was cubic, truncated rhombic dodecahedron, and typical rhombic dodecahedron in the cases of I2R4, I4R4, and I6R4, respectively. Also, the particle size can be regulated from ca. 1.7 μm to <100 nm by controlling the peptide concentration from 0 to 2.0 mM. This work develops a simple and green method for the synthesis of ZIF-8 crystals with controllable shape and size in water, which shows high potential for biomedical and biological applications.

Abstract
Formulating drugs into nanoparticles offers many attractive advantages over free drugs including improved bioavailability, minimized toxic side effects, enhanced drug delivery, feasibility of incorporating other functions such as controlled release, imaging agents for imaging, targeting delivery, and loading more than one drug for combination therapies. One of the key parameters is drug loading, which is defined as the mass ratio of drug to drug-loaded nanoparticles. Currently, most nanoparticle systems have relatively low drug loading (<10 wt%), and developing methods to increase drug loading remains a challenge. This Minireview presents an overview of recent research on developing nanoparticles with high drug loading (>10 wt%) from the perspective of synthesis strategies, including post-loading, co-loading, and pre-loading. Based on these three different strategies, various nanoparticle systems with different materials and drugs are summarized and discussed in terms of their synthesis methods, drug loadings, encapsulation efficiencies, release profiles, stabilities, and their applications in drug delivery. The advantages and disadvantages of these strategies are presented with an objective of providing useful design rules for future development of high-drug-loading nanoparticles.
