Abstract
Multiresponsive hydrogels are valuable as biomaterials due to their ability to respond to multiple biologically relevant stimuli, i.e., temperature, pH, or reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can be present simultaneously in the body. In this work, we synthesize triple-responsive hydrogels through UV light photopolymerization of selected monomer compositions that encompass thermoresponsive N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), pH-responsive methacrylic acid (MAA), and a tailor-made ROS-responsive diacrylate thioether monomer (EG3SA). As a result, smart P[NIPAMx-co-MAAy-co-(EG3SA)z] hydrogels capable of being manufactured by digital light processing (DLP) 4D printing are obtained. The thermo-, pH-, and ROS-response of the hydrogels are studied by swelling tests and rheological measurements at different temperatures (25 and 37 °C), pHs (3, 5, 7.4, and 11), and in the absence or presence of ROS (H2O2). The hydrogels are employed as matrixes for the encapsulation of ketoprofen (KET), an anti-inflammatory drug that shows a tunable release, depending on the hydrogel composition and stimuli applied. The cytotoxicity properties of the hydrogels are tested in vitro with mouse embryonic fibroblasts (NIH 3T3) and RAW 264.7 murine macrophage (RAW) cells. Finally, the anti-inflammatory properties are assessed, and the results exhibit a ≈70% nitric oxide reduction up to base values of pro-inflammatory RAW cells, which highlights the anti-inflammatory capacity of P[NIPAM80-co-MAA15-co-(EG3SA)5] hydrogels, per se, without being necessary to encapsulate an anti-inflammatory drug within their network. It opens the route for the fabrication of customizable 4D printable scaffolds for the effective treatment of inflammatory pathologies.

Abstract
Biobased nanoparticles are at the leading edge of the rapidly developing field of nanomedicine and biotherapeutics. Their unique size, shape, and biophysical properties make them attractive tools for biomedical research, including vaccination, targeted drug delivery, and immune therapy. These nanoparticles are engineered to present native cell receptors and proteins on their surfaces, providing a biomimicking camouflage for therapeutic cargo to evade rapid degradation, immune rejection, inflammation, and clearance. Despite showing promising clinical relevance, commercial implementation of these biobased nanoparticles is yet to be fully realized. In this perspective, we discuss advanced biobased nanoparticle designs used in medical applications, such as cell membrane nanoparticles, exosomes, and synthetic lipid-derived nanoparticles, and highlight their benefits and potential challenges. Moreover, we critically assess the future of preparing such particles using artificial intelligence and machine learning. These advanced computational tools will be able to predict the functional composition and behavior of the proteins and cell receptors present on the nanoparticle surfaces. With more advancement in designing new biobased nanoparticles, this field of research could play a key role in dictating the future rational design of drug transporters, thereby ultimately improving overall therapeutic outcomes.

Addressing Critical Issues Related to Storage and Stability of the Vault Nanoparticle Expressed and Purified from Komagataella phaffi. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24044214. [PMID: 36835627 PMCID: PMC9959619 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24044214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The vault nanoparticle is a eukaryotic assembly consisting of 78 copies of the 99-kDa major vault protein. They generate two cup-shaped symmetrical halves, which in vivo enclose protein and RNA molecules. Overall, this assembly is mainly involved in pro-survival and cytoprotective functions. It also holds a remarkable biotechnological potential for drug/gene delivery, thanks to its huge internal cavity and the absence of toxicity/immunogenicity. The available purification protocols are complex, partly because they use higher eukaryotes as expression systems. Here, we report a simplified procedure that combines human vault expression in the yeast Komagataella phaffii, as described in a recent report, and a purification process we have developed. This consists of RNase pretreatment followed by size-exclusion chromatography, which is far simpler than any other reported to date. Protein identity and purity was confirmed by SDS-PAGE, Western blot and transmission electron microscopy. We also found that the protein displayed a significant propensity to aggregate. We thus investigated this phenomenon and the related structural changes by Fourier-transform spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering, which led us to determine the most suitable storage conditions. In particular, the addition of either trehalose or Tween-20 ensured the best preservation of the protein in native, soluble form.

Escherichia coli as a New Platform for the Fast Production of Vault-like Nanoparticles: An Optimized Protocol. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232415543.

Abstract
Vaults are protein nanoparticles that are found in almost all eukaryotic cells but are absent in prokaryotic ones. Due to their properties (nanometric size, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and lack of immunogenicity), vaults show enormous potential as a bio-inspired, self-assembled drug-delivery system (DDS). Vault architecture is directed by self-assembly of the "major vault protein" (MVP), the main component of this nanoparticle. Recombinant expression (in different eukaryotic systems) of the MVP resulted in the formation of nanoparticles that were indistinguishable from native vaults. Nowadays, recombinant vaults for different applications are routinely produced in insect cells and purified by successive ultracentrifugations, which are both tedious and time-consuming strategies. To offer cost-efficient and faster protocols for nanoparticle production, we propose the production of vault-like nanoparticles in Escherichia coli cells, which are still one of the most widely used prokaryotic cell factories for recombinant protein production. The strategy proposed allowed for the spontaneous encapsulation of the engineered cargo protein within the self-assembled vault-like nanoparticles by simply mixing the clarified lysates of the producing cells. Combined with well-established affinity chromatography purification methods, our approach contains faster, cost-efficient procedures for biofabrication in a well-known microbial cell factory and the purification of "ready-to-use" loaded protein nanoparticles, thereby opening the way to faster and easier engineering and production of vault-based DDSs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Naturally occurring protein cages, both viral and non-viral assemblies, have been developed for various pharmaceutical applications. Protein cages are ideal platforms as they are compatible, biodegradable, bioavailable, and amenable to chemical and genetic modification to impart new functionalities for selective targeting or tracking of proteins. The ferritin/ apoferritin protein cage, plant-derived viral capsids, the small Heat shock protein, albumin, soy and whey protein, collagen, and gelatin have all been exploited and characterized as drugdelivery vehicles. Protein cages come in many shapes and types with unique features such as unmatched uniformity, size, and conjugations. OBJECTIVES The recent strategic development of drug delivery will be covered in this review, emphasizing polymer-based, specifically protein-based, drug delivery nanomedicine platforms. The potential and drawbacks of each kind of protein-based drug-delivery system will also be highlighted. METHODS Research examining the usability of nanomaterials in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors were identified by employing bibliographic databases and web search engines. RESULTS Rings, tubes, and cages are unique protein structures that occur in the biological environment and might serve as building blocks for nanomachines. Furthermore, numerous virions can undergo reversible structural conformational changes that open or close gated pores, allowing customizable accessibility to their core and ideal delivery vehicles. CONCLUSION Protein cages' biocompatibility and their ability to be precisely engineered indicate they have significant potential in drug delivery and intracellular administration.

Abstract
One of the most promising approaches in the drug delivery field is the use of naturally occurring self-assembling protein nanoparticles, such as virus-like particles, bacterial microcompartments or vault ribonucleoprotein particles as drug delivery systems (DDS). Among them, eukaryotic vaults show a promising future due to their structural features, in vitro stability and non-immunogenicity. Recombinant vaults are routinely produced in insect cells and purified through several ultracentrifugations, both tedious and time-consuming processes. As an alternative, this work proposes a new approach and protocols for the production of recombinant vaults in human cells by transient gene expression of a His-tagged version of the Major Vault Protein (MVP-H6), the development of new affinity-based purification processes for such recombinant vaults, and the all-in-one biofabrication and encapsulation of a cargo recombinant protein within such vaults by their co-expression in human cells. Protocols proposed here allow the easy and straightforward biofabrication and purification of engineered vaults loaded with virtually any INT-tagged cargo protein, in very short times, paving the way to faster and easier engineering and production of better and more efficient DDS.

Abstract
Simple Summary In recent decades, a molecular complex referred to as vault nanoparticle has attracted much attention by the scientific community, due to its unique properties. At the molecular scale, it is a huge assembly consisting of 78 97-kDa polypeptide chains enclosing an internal cavity, wherein enzymes involved in DNA integrity maintenance and some small noncoding RNAs are accommodated. Basically, two reasons justify this interest. On the one hand, this complex represents an ideal tool for the targeted delivery of drugs, provided it is suitably engineered, either chemically or genetically; on the other hand, it has been shown to be involved in several cellular pathways and mechanisms that most often result in multidrug resistance. It is therefore expected that a better understanding of the physiological roles of this ribonucleoproteic complex may help develop new therapeutic strategies capable of coping with cancer progression. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the current knowledge. Abstract The vault nanoparticle is a eukaryotic ribonucleoprotein complex consisting of 78 individual 97 kDa-“major vault protein” (MVP) molecules that form two symmetrical, cup-shaped, hollow halves. It has a huge size (72.5 × 41 × 41 nm) and an internal cavity, wherein the vault poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (vPARP), telomerase-associated protein-1 (TEP1), and some small untranslated RNAs are accommodated. Plenty of literature reports on the biological role(s) of this nanocomplex, as well as its involvement in diseases, mostly oncological ones. Nevertheless, much has still to be understood as to how vault participates in normal and pathological mechanisms. In this comprehensive review, current understanding of its biological roles is discussed. By different mechanisms, vault’s individual components are involved in major cellular phenomena, which result in protection against cellular stresses, such as DNA-damaging agents, irradiation, hypoxia, hyperosmotic, and oxidative conditions. These diverse cellular functions are accomplished by different mechanisms, mainly gene expression reprogramming, activation of proliferative/prosurvival signaling pathways, export from the nucleus of DNA-damaging drugs, and import of specific proteins. The cellular functions of this nanocomplex may also result in the onset of pathological conditions, mainly (but not exclusively) tumor proliferation and multidrug resistance. The current understanding of its biological roles in physiological and pathological processes should also provide new hints to extend the scope of its exploitation as a nanocarrier for drug delivery.

Abstract
The use of smart drug delivery systems (DDSs) is one of the most promising approaches to overcome some of the drawbacks of drug-based therapies, such as improper biodistribution and lack of specific targeting. Some of the most attractive candidates as DDSs are naturally occurring, self-assembling protein nanoparticles, such as viruses, virus-like particles, ferritin cages, bacterial microcompartments, or eukaryotic vaults. Vaults are large ribonucleoprotein nanoparticles present in almost all eukaryotic cells. Expression in different cell factories of recombinant versions of the "major vault protein" (MVP) results in the production of recombinant vaults indistinguishable from native counterparts. Such recombinant vaults can encapsulate virtually any cargo protein, and they can be specifically targeted by engineering the C-terminus of MVP monomer. These properties, together with nanometric size, a lumen large enough to accommodate cargo molecules, biodegradability, biocompatibility and no immunogenicity, has raised the interest in vaults as smart DDSs. In this work we provide an overview of eukaryotic vaults as a new, self-assembling protein-based DDS, focusing in the latest advances in the production and purification of this platform, its application in nanomedicine, and the current preclinical and clinical assays going on based on this nanovehicle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vaults are eukaryotic ribonucleoprotein particles composed of up 78 copies of the 97 kDa major vault protein that assembles into a barrel-like, "nanocapsule" enclosing poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, telomerase-associated protein-1 and small untranslated RNAs. Overall, the molecular mass of vault particles amounts to about 13 MDa. Although it has been implicated in several cellular functions, its physiological roles remain poorly understood. Also, the possibility to exploit it as a nanovector for drug delivery is currently being explored in several laboratories. METHODS Using the baculovirus expression system, vaults were expressed and purified by a dialysis step using a 1 MDa molecular weight cutoff membrane and a subsequent size exclusion chromatography. Purity was assessed by SDS-PAGE, transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Particle's endocytic uptake was monitored by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. RESULTS The purification protocol here reported is far simpler and faster than those currently available and lead to the production of authentic vault. We then demonstrated its clathrin-mediated endocytic uptake by normal fibroblast and glioblastoma, but not carcinoma cell lines. In contrast, no significant caveolin-mediated endocytosis was detected. CONCLUSIONS These results provide the first evidence for an intrinsic propensity of the vault complex to undergo endocytic uptake cultured eukaryotic cells. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The newly developed purification procedure will greatly facilitate any investigation based on the use of the vault particle as a natural nanocarrier. Its clathrin-mediated endocytic uptake observed in normal and in some tumor cell lines sheds light on its physiological role.

Abstract
To exploit tumor and intracellular microenvironments, pH-responsive diblock copolymers of poly(ethylene glycol) and catechol-functionalized polycarbonate with acid-labile acetal bond as the linker are synthesized to prepare micellar nanoparticles that shed the shell at acidic tumor tissues and inside cancer cells, hence accelerating drug release at the target. The pH-dependent cleavage of the shell is demonstrated at pH 5.0 and 6.5 using 1H NMR. Bortezomib (BTZ, an anticancer drug containing a phenylboronic acid group) is conjugated to the polymers through formation of pH-responsive boronate ester bond between boronic acid and catechol in the polymers. Dual pH-responsive bortezomib-polymer conjugates (BTZ-PC) self-assemble into micellar nanoparticles of small size (<110 nm) with narrow size distribution and high drug loading capacity. Acidic pH accelerates BTZ release from BTZ-PC micelles and enhances intracelluar uptake of the micelles, hence increasing in vitro cytotoxicity against human breast cancer cells. More importantly, the BTZ-PC micelles achieve a stronger antitumor effect in a human breast cancer BT-474 xenograft mouse model than free BTZ and mitigate in vivo hepatotoxicity of BTZ. These dual pH-responsive shell-cleavable nanoparticles are a potentially promising carrier for BTZ delivery.

Abstract
Vaults are naturally occurring ovoid nanoparticles constructed from a protein shell that is composed of multiple copies of major vault protein (MVP). The vault-interacting domain of vault poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase (INT) has been used as a shuttle to pack biomolecular cargo in the vault lumen. However, the interaction between INT and MVP is poorly understood. It is hypothesized that the release rate of biomolecular cargo from the vault lumen is related to the interaction between MVP and INT. To tune the release of molecular cargos from the vault nanoparticles, we determined the interactions between the isolated INT-interacting MVP domains (iMVP) and wild-type INT and compared them to two structurally modified INT: 15-amino acid deletion at the C terminus (INTΔC15) and histidine substituted at the interaction surface (INT/DSA/3 H) to impart a pH-sensitive response. The apparent affinity constants determined using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor technology are 262 ± 4 nM for iMVP/INT, 1800 ± 160 nM for iMVP/INTΔC15 at pH 7.4. The INT/DSA/3 H exhibits stronger affinity to iMVP (KDapp = 24 nM) and dissociates at a slower rate than wild-type INT at pH 6.0.

Abstract
Nanocages (NCs) have emerged as a new class of drug-carriers, with a wide range of possibilities in multi-modality medical treatments and theranostics. Nanocages can overcome such limitations as high toxicity caused by anti-cancer chemotherapy or by the nanocarrier itself, due to their unique characteristics. These properties consist of: (1) a high loading-capacity (spacious interior); (2) a porous structure (analogous to openings between the bars of the cage); (3) enabling smart release (a key to unlock the cage); and (4) a low likelihood of unfavorable immune responses (the outside of the cage is safe). In this review, we cover different classes of NC structures such as virus-like particles (VLPs), protein NCs, DNA NCs, supramolecular nanosystems, hybrid metal-organic NCs, gold NCs, carbon-based NCs and silica NCs. Moreover, NC-assisted drug delivery including modification methods, drug immobilization, active targeting, and stimulus-responsive release mechanisms are discussed, highlighting the advantages, disadvantages and challenges. Finally, translation of NCs into clinical applications, and an up-to-date assessment of the nanotoxicology considerations of NCs are presented.

Abstract
Magnetic microbeads exhibit rapid separation characteristics and are widely employed for biomolecule and cell isolations in research laboratories, clinical diagnostics assays, and cell therapy manufacturing. However, micrometer particle diameters compromise biomarker recognition, which leads to long incubation times and significant reagent demands. Here, a stimuli-responsive binary reagent system is presented that combines the nanoscale benefits of efficient biomarker recognition and the microscale benefits of rapid magnetic separation. This system comprises magnetic nanoparticles and polymer-antibody (Ab) conjugates that transition from hydrophilic nanoscale reagents to microscale aggregates in response to temperature stimuli. The binary reagent system was benchmarked against Ab-labeled Dynabeads in terms of biomarker isolation kinetics, assay speed, and reagent needs. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements showed that polymer conjugation did not significantly alter the Ab's binding affinity or kinetics. ELISA analysis showed that the unconjugated Ab, polymer-Ab conjugates, and Ab-labeled Dynabeads exhibited similar equilibrium dissociation constants (Kd), ∼2 nM. However, the binary reagent system isolated HIV p24 antigen from spiked serum specimens (150 pg/mL) much more quickly than Dynabeads, which resulted in shorter binding times by tens of minutes, or about 30-50% shorter overall assay times. The binary reagent system showed improved performance because the Ab molecules were not conjugated to large, solid microparticle surfaces. This stimuli-responsive binary reagent system illustrates the potential advantages of nanoscale reagents in molecule and cell isolations for both research and clinical applications.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of dual-responsive N-acylated poly(aminoester) (NPAE)-based comb polymers with varying molecular composition and monomer sequence via a combination of spontaneous zwitterionic copolymerization and redox-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RRAFT) polymerization. NPAE macromonomers were synthesized from different nucleophilic (MN), for example, 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOx) or 2-ethyl-2-oxazine (EtOz), and electrophilic monomers (ME), for example, acrylic acid (AA) or 2-carboxyethyl acrylate (CEA), to tune the hydrophilicity and sequence of the systems. The latter was found to influence the thermal properties and stability of the respective comb polymers. Turbidity investigations in aqueous solution revealed a dual-responsive behavior of the comb polymers being responsive to both temperature and pH changes due to ω-carboxylic end groups of the NPAE-based macromonomers. Additional methylene groups in the NPAE backbone rendered the corresponding systems more hydrophobic and, hence, decreased the cloud point temperatures and, at the same time, increased the pH values (at constant temperature) at which the polymer phase separates from the aqueous solution.

Abstract
Protein-polymer conjugates are of particular interest for nanobiotechnology applications because of the various and complementary roles that each component may play in composite hybrid-materials. This chapter focuses on the design principles and applications of self-assembling protein-polymer conjugate materials. We address the general design methodology, from both synthetic and genetic perspective, conjugation strategies, protein vs. polymer driven self-assembly and finally, emerging applications for conjugate materials. By marrying proteins and polymers into conjugated bio-hybrid materials, materials scientists, chemists, and biologists alike, have at their fingertips a vast toolkit for material design. These inherently hierarchical structures give rise to useful patterning, mechanical and transport properties that may help realize new, more efficient materials for energy generation, catalysis, nanorobots, etc.
