Abstract
The inflammatory damage caused by thrombus formation and dissolution can increase the risk of thrombotic complications on top of cell death and organ dysfunction caused by thrombus itself. Therefore, a rapid and precise thrombolytic therapy strategy is in urgent need to effectively dissolve thrombus and resist oxidation simultaneously. In this study, Ce-UiO-66, a cerium-based metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF) with reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging properties, encapsulated by low-immunogenic mesenchymal stem cell membrane with inflammation-targeting properties, is used to construct a targeted nanomedicine Ce-UiO-CM. Ce-UiO-CM is applied in combination with external ultrasound stimulation for thrombolytic therapy in rat femoral artery. Ce-UiO-66 has abundant Ce (III)/Ce (IV) coupling sites that react with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce oxygen, exhibiting catalase (CAT) activity. The multi-cavity structure of Ce-UiO-66 can generate electron holes, and its pore channels can act as micro-reactors to further enhance its ROS scavenging capacity. Additionally, the porous structure of Ce-UiO-66 and the oxygen produced by its reaction with H2O2 may enhance the cavitation effects of ultrasound, thereby improving thrombolysis efficacy.

Abstract
Magnetic Drug Targeting (MDT) is of particular interest to researchers because of its good loading efficiency, targeting accuracy, and versatile use in vivo. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is a global chronic disease with a high mortality rate, and the development of more precise and effective treatments is imminent. A growing number of studies have begun to explore the feasibility of MDT in CVD, but an up-to-date systematic summary is still lacking. This review discusses the current research status of MDT from guiding magnetic fields, magnetic nanocarriers, delivery channels, drug release control, and safety assessment. The current application status of MDT in CVD is also critically introduced. On this basis, new insights into the existing problems and future optimization directions of MDT are further highlighted.

Abstract
Lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LEDVT) affects patient's quality of life for a long time, and even causes pulmonary embolism, which threatens human health. Current anticoagulant drugs in clinical treatment are hampered by the risk of bleeding due to poor targeting and low drug penetration. Here, we used platelet (PLT)-like biological targeting to enhance the delivery and accumulation of nanomedicines in thrombus and reduce the risk of bleeding. Meanwhile, the parallel strategy of "thrombus thermal ablation and anticoagulation" was applied to increase the permeability of drugs in thrombus and achieve the optimal antithrombotic effect. Polypyrrole (PPy) and rivaroxban (Riv, an anticoagulant drug) were co-assembled into platelet membrane-coated nanoparticles (NPs), PLT-PPy/Riv NPs, which actively targeted the thrombotic lesion at multiple targets in the platelet membrane and were thermally and drug-specific thrombolysed by 808 nm laser irradiation. The combination therapy resulted in up to 90% thrombolysis in a femoral vein thrombosis model compared to single phototherapy or drug therapy. The results showed that the nanoformulation provided a new direction for remote precise and controlled sustained thrombolysis, which was in line with the trend of nanomedicine towards clinical translation.

Abstract
Stroke is accounted as the second-most mortality and adult disability factor in worldwide, while causes the bleeding promptly and lifetime consequences. The employed functional recovery after stroke is highly variable, allowing to deliver proper interventions to the right stroke patient at a specific time. Accordingly, the multidisciplinary nursing team, and the administrated drugs are major key-building-blocks to enhance stroke treatment efficiency. Regarding the healthcare team, adequate continuum of care have been declared as an integral part of the treatment process from the pre-hospital, in-hospital, to acute post-discharge phases. As a curative perspective, drugs administration is also vital in surviving at the early step and reducing the probability of disabilities in later. In this regard, nanotechnology-based medicinal strategy is exorbitantly burgeoning. In this review, we have highlighted the effectiveness of current clinical care considered by nursing teams to treat stroke. Also, the advancement of drugs through synthesis of miniaturized nanodrug formations relating stroke treatment is remarked. Finally, the remained challenges toward standardizing the healthcare team and minimizing the nanodrugs downsides are discussed. The findings ensure that future works on normalizing the healthcare nursing teams integrated with artificial intelligence technology, as well as advancing the operative nanodrugs can provide value-based stroke cares.

Abstract
Nanoparticles containing thrombolytic medicines have been developed for thrombolysis applications in response to the increasing demand for effective, targeted treatment of thrombosis disease. In recent years, there has been a great deal of interest in nanoparticles that can be navigated and driven by a magnetic field. However, there are few review publications concerning the application of magnetic nanoparticles in thrombolysis. In this study, we examine the current state of magnetic nanoparticles in the application of in vitro and in vivo thrombolysis under a static or dynamic magnetic field, as well as the combination of magnetic nanoparticles with an acoustic field for dual-mode thrombolysis. We also discuss four primary processes of magnetic nanoparticles mediated thrombolysis, including magnetic nanoparticle targeting, magnetic nanoparticle trapping, magnetic drug release, and magnetic rupture of blood clot fibrin networks. This review will offer unique insights for the future study and clinical development of magnetic nanoparticles mediated thrombolysis approaches.

Abstract
Currently, the limited efficacy of antithrombotic treatments is attributed to the inadequacy of pure drugs and the low ability of drugs to target the thrombus site. More importantly, timely thrombolysis is essential to reduce the sequelae of cardiovascular disease, but ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a major challenge that must be solved after blood flow recovery. Herein, a multifunctional therapeutic nanoparticle (NP) based on Fe3O4 and strontium ions encapsulated in mesoporous polydopamine was successfully constructed and then loaded with TNK-tPA (FeM@Sr-TNK NPs). The NPs (59.9 min) significantly prolonged the half-life of thrombolytic drugs, which was 3.04 times that of TNK (19.7 min), and they had good biological safety. The NPs were shown to pass through vascular models with different inner diameters, curvatures, and stenosis under magnetic targeting and to enable accurate diagnosis of thrombi by photoacoustic imaging. NPs combined with the magnetic hyperthermia technique were used to accelerate thrombolysis and quickly open blocked blood vessels. Then, renal IRI-induced functional metabolic disorder and tissue damage were evidently attenuated by scavenging toxic reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and through the protective effects of bioactive ion therapy, including reduced apoptosis, increased angiogenesis, and inhibited fibrosis. In brief, we constructed a multifunctional nanoplatform for integrating a "diagnosis-therapy-protection" approach to achieve comprehensive management from thrombus to renal IRI, promoting the advancement of related technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Thrombosis is a common disease that poses a great threat to life and health. Most thrombolytic effects of traditional treatments or nanomedicine are not efficient or safe enough. Therefore, we designed a nanoparticle (NP) with a combination of a phase transition material and thrombolytic drugs for efficient and safe thrombolysis. METHODS A thrombus fibrin-targeted and phase transition NP was designed and contained perfluorohexane (PFH) and the thrombolytic drug rtPA core, with CREKA polypeptides attached to the shell of the PLGA NPs. Characterization of the phase transition and ultrasound imaging of the NPs was carried out under low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU). LIFU-responsive drug release in vitro was also explored. Under the synergistic effect of PFH and rtPA, the efficient thrombolysis ability of the NPs was studied in vitro and in vivo. In vivo monitoring of thrombosis and biosafety were also verified. RESULTS The PPrC NPs had good ultrasound imaging ability under LIFU irradiation and were related to the phase transition characteristics of the NPs. CREKA polypeptides can effectively increase the aggregation of the NPs on thrombi. Under static and dynamic conditions in vitro, the "liquid to gas" transformation effect of PFH can perform the destruction function of the excavator at the thrombus site and promote the specific release of rtPA, and the subsequent rtPA drug thrombolysis can further fully dissolve the thrombus. In vivo experiments showed that the NPs can monitor the formation of thrombi and have good thrombolytic effects, with significantly reduced bleeding side effects. The biochemical indexes of the rats were within normal limits after treatment. CONCLUSION PPrC NPs loaded with PFH and rtPA combining a mechanical way of blasting with thrombolytic drugs may be a promising new and reliable approach for thrombus monitoring and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) has a short half-life, and additional hemorrhagic transformation (HT) can occur when treatment is delayed. Here, we report the design and thrombolytic performance of 3 [Formula: see text]m discoidal polymeric particles loaded with rtPA and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), referred to as rmDPPs, to address the HT issues of rtPA. METHODS The rmDPPs consisted of a biodegradable polymeric matrix, rtPA, and SPIONs and were synthesized via a top-down fabrication. RESULTS The rmDPPs could be concentrated at the target site with magnetic attraction, and then the rtPA could be released under acoustic stimulus. Therefore, we named that the particles had magnetoacoustic properties. For the in vitro blood clot lysis, the rmDPPs with magnetoacoustic stimuli could not enhance the lytic potential compared to the rmDPPs without stimulation. Furthermore, although the reduction of the infarcts in vivo was observed along with the magnetoacoustic stimuli in the rmDPPs, more enhancement was not achieved in comparison with the rtPA. A notable advantage of rmDPPs was shown in delayed administration of rmDPPs at poststroke. The late treatment of rmDPPs with magnetoacoustic stimuli could reduce the infarcts and lead to no additional HT issues, while rtPA alone could not show any favorable prognosis. CONCLUSION The rmDPPs may be advantageous in delayed treatment of thrombotic patients.

Abstract
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs) describe abnormal vascular system conditions affecting the brain and heart. Among these, ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke are the leading causes of death worldwide, resulting in 16% and 11% of deaths globally. Although several therapeutic approaches are presented over the years, the continuously increasing mortality rates suggest the need for more advanced strategies for their treatment. One of these strategies lies in the use of stimuli-responsive biomaterials. These "smart" biomaterials can specifically target the diseased tissue, and after "reading" the altered environmental cues, they can respond by altering their physicochemical properties and/or their morphology. In this review, the progress in the field of stimuli-responsive biomaterials for CCVDs in the last five years, aiming at highlighting their potential as early-stage therapeutics in the preclinical scenery, is described.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) is a severe neurological disease caused by the narrowing or occlusion of cerebral blood vessels and is known for high morbidity, disability, and mortality rates. Clinically available treatments of stroke include the surgical removal of the thrombus and thrombolysis with tissue fibrinogen activator. Pharmaceuticals targeting IS are uncommon, and the development of new therapies is hindered by the low bioavailability and stability of many drugs. Nanomedicine provides new opportunities for the development of novel neuroprotective and thrombolytic strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of IS. Numerous nanotherapeutics with different physicochemical properties are currently being developed to facilitate drug delivery by accumulation and controlled release and to improve their restorative properties. In this review, we discuss recent developments in IS therapy, including assisted drug delivery and targeting, neuroprotection through regulation of the neuron environment, and sources of endogenous biomimetic specific targeting. In addition, we discuss the role and neurotoxic effects of inorganic metal nanoparticles in IS therapy. This study provides a theoretical basis for the utilization of nano-IS therapies that may contribute to the development of new strategies for a range of embolic diseases.

[PMID: 34358695 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.07.072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Revised: 07/13/2021] [Accepted: 07/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Thrombolysis is a standard treatment for rapidly restoring blood flow. However, the application of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (Uk) in clinical therapy is limited due to its nonspecific distribution and inadequate therapeutic accumulation. Precise thrombus imaging and site-specific drug delivery can enhance the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy for thrombosis. Accordingly, we developed a P-selectin-specific, photothermal theranostic nanocomposite for thrombus-targeted codelivery of Uk and indocyanine green (ICG, a contrast agent for near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging). We evaluated its capabilities for thrombus imaging and enzyme/hyperthermia combined thrombolytic therapy. Mesoporous silica-coated gold nanorods (Si-AuNRs) were functionalized with an arginine-rich peptide to create an organic template for the adsorption of ICG and fucoidan (Fu), an algae-derived anticoagulant. Uk was loaded into the SiO2 pores of the Si-AuNRs through the formation of a Fu-Uk-ICG complex on the peptide-functionalized template. The Fu-Uk/ICG@SiAu NRs nanocomposite increased the photostability of ICG and improved its targeting/accumulation at blood clot sites with a strong NIR fluorescence intensity for precise thrombus imaging. Furthermore, ICG incorporated into the nanocomposite enhanced the photothermal effect of Si-AuNRs. Fu, as a P-selectin-targeting ligand, enabled the nanocomposite to target a thrombus site where platelets were activated. The nanocomposite enabled a faster release of Uk for rapid clearing of blood clots and a slower release of Fu for longer lasting prevention of thrombosis regeneration. The nanocomposite with multiple functions, including thrombus-targeting drug delivery, photothermal thrombolysis, and NIR fluorescence imaging, is thus an advanced theranostic platform for thrombolytic therapy with reduced hemorrhaging risk and enhanced imaging/thrombolysis efficiency. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Herein, for the first time, a P-selectin specific, photothermal theranostic nanocomposite for thrombus-targeted co-delivery of urokinase and NIR fluorescence contrast agent indocyanine green (ICG) was developed. We evaluated the potential of this theranostic nanocomposite for thrombus imaging and enzyme/hyperthermia combined thrombolytic therapy. The nanocomposite showed multiple functions including thrombus targeting and imaging, and photothermal thrombolysis. Besides, it allowed faster release of the thrombolytic urokinase for rapidly clearing blood clots and slower release of a brown algae-derived anticoagulant fucoidan (also acting as a P-selectin ligand) for prevention of thrombosis regeneration. The nanocomposite is thus a new and advanced theranostic platform for targeted thrombolytic therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, many promising nanotechnological approaches to biomedical research have been developed in order to increase implementation of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering in clinical practice. In the meantime, the use of nanomaterials for the regeneration of diseased or injured tissues is considered advantageous in most areas of medicine. In particular, for the treatment of cardiovascular, osteochondral and neurological defects, but also for the recovery of functions of other organs such as kidney, liver, pancreas, bladder, urethra and for wound healing, nanomaterials are increasingly being developed that serve as scaffolds, mimic the extracellular matrix and promote adhesion or differentiation of cells. This review focuses on the latest developments in regenerative medicine, in which iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) play a crucial role for tissue engineering and cell therapy. IONPs are not only enabling the use of non-invasive observation methods to monitor the therapy, but can also accelerate and enhance regeneration, either thanks to their inherent magnetic properties or by functionalization with bioactive or therapeutic compounds, such as drugs, enzymes and growth factors. In addition, the presence of magnetic fields can direct IONP-labeled cells specifically to the site of action or induce cell differentiation into a specific cell type through mechanotransduction.

Abstract
One of the most common methods to treat thromboembolism is the use of thrombolytic drugs to activate fibrinolytic protease. The aim of this treatment was to initiate the lysis of fibrin; however, there are many side-effects associated with this form of treatment. Herein, we fabricated chiral Co3 O4 supraparticles (SPs) with a g-factor of up to 0.02 at 550 nm and paramagnetic performance applied in the treatment of thromboembolism under an electromagnetic field (MF). In vitro experiments showed that d-SPs degraded blood clot within 8 hours under MF. Compared to l-SPs, d-SPs exhibited much stronger thrombolytic ability and effectively enhanced the survival rate of thrombosis model mice more than 70 % in the 25 d of observation. The results of mechanism study showed that under MF, the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by d-SPs were 1.5 times higher than that of l-SPs, which might be attributed to the chiral-induced spin selectivity effects.

Near-infrared light-responsive liposomes for protein delivery: Towards bleeding-free photothermally-assisted thrombolysis. J Control Release 2021; 337:212-223.

Abstract
Smart drug delivery systems represent state-of-the-art approaches for targeted therapy of life-threatening diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Stimuli-responsive on-demand release of therapeutic agents at the diseased site can significantly limit serious adverse effects. In this study, we engineered a near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive liposomal gold nanorod-containing platform for on-demand delivery of proteins using a hybrid formulation of ultrasmall gold nanorods (AuNRs), thermosensitive phospholipid (DPPC) and non-ionic surfactant (Brij58). In light-triggered release optimization studies, 55.6% (± 4.8) of a FITC-labelled model protein, ovalbumin (MW 45 kDa) was released in 15 min upon NIR irradiation (785 nm, 1.35 W/cm2 for 5 min). This platform was then utilized to test on-demand delivery of urokinase-plasminogen activator (uPA) for bleeding-free photothermally-assisted thrombolysis, where the photothermal effect of AuNRs would synergize with the released uPA in clot lysis. Urokinase light-responsive liposomes showed 80.7% (± 4.5) lysis of an in vitro halo-clot model in 30 min following NIR irradiation (785 nm, 1.35 W/cm2 for 5 min) compared to 36.3% (± 4.4) and 15.5% (± 5.5) clot lysis from equivalent free uPA and non-irradiated liposomes respectively. These results show the potential of low-dose, site-specific thrombolysis via the combination of light-triggered delivery/release of uPA from liposomes combined with photothermal thrombolytic effects from gold nanorods. In conclusion, newly engineered, gold nanorod-based, NIR light-responsive liposomes represent a promising drug delivery system for site-directed, photothermally-stimulated therapeutic protein release.

Abstract
We have demonstrated that alginate with negligible anticoagulant activity can be converted into carbonized nanogels with potent anticoagulant activity through a solid-state heating process. The conversion of alginate into graphene-like nanosheet (GNS)-embedded polyphenolic-alginate nanogels (GNS/Alg-NGs) has been carried out through condensation and carbonization processes. The GNS/Alg-NGs exhibit much stronger anticoagulant activity (>520-fold) compared to untreated alginate, mainly because their polyphenolic structures have a high binding affinity [dissociation constant (Kd) = 2.1 × 10-10 M] toward thrombin. In addition, the thrombin clotting time delay caused by the GNS/Alg-NGs is 10-fold longer than that of natural polyphenolic compounds, such as quercetin, catechin, naringenin, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid. The thrombin- or kaolin-activated thromboelastography of whole-blood coagulation reveals that the GNS/Alg-NGs display a much stronger anticoagulant ability than that of untreated alginate and naturally sulfated polysaccharides (fucoidan). The GNS/Alg-NGs exhibit superior biocompatibility and anticoagulant activity, as observed with an in vivo rat model, revealing their potential as a blood thinner for the treatment of thrombotic disorders.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke, caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain and subsequent neuronal death, represents one of the main causes of disability in developed countries. Therapeutic methods such as recanalization approaches, neuroprotective drugs, or recovery strategies have been widely developed to improve the patient's outcome; however, important limitations such as a narrow therapeutic window, the ability to reach brain targets, or drug side effects constitute some of the main aspects that limit the clinical applicability of the current treatments. Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising tool to overcome many of these drug limitations and improve the efficacy of treatments for neurological diseases such as stroke. The use of nanoparticles as a contrast agent or as drug carriers to a specific target are some of the most common approaches developed in nanomedicine for stroke. Throughout this review, we have summarized our experience of using nanotechnology tools for the study of stroke and the search for novel therapies.

Abstract
With the development of enzymes immobilization technology and the discover of nanozymes, catalytic therapy exhibited tremendous potential for neurological diseases therapy. In especial, since the discovery of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles possessing intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, various nanozymes have been developed and recently started to explore for neurological diseases therapy, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and stroke. By combining the catalytic activities with other properties (such as optical, thermal, electrical, and magnetic properties) of nanomaterials, the multifunctional nanozymes would not only alleviate oxidative and nitrosative stress on the basis of multienzymes-mimicking activity, but also exert positive effects on immunization, inflammation, autophagy, protein aggregation, which provides the foundation for multifaceted treatments. This review will summarize various types of nanocatalysts and further provides a valuable discussion on multifaceted treatment by nanozymes for neurological diseases, which is anticipated to provide an easily accessible guide to the key opportunities and current challenges of the nanozymes-mediated treatments for neurological diseases.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is one of the major causes of severe disability and death worldwide. It is mainly caused by a sudden reduction in cerebral blood flow due to obstruction of the supplying vessel by thrombi and subsequent initiation of a complex cascade of pathophysiological changes, which ultimately lead to brain ischemia and even irreversible infarction. Thus, timely and effective thrombolysis therapy remains a mainstay for acute ischemic stroke treatment. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), the only thrombolytic agent approved globally, provides substantial benefits by exerting a fibrinolysis effect, recovering the blood supply in occluded vessels and, thereby, salvaging the ischemic tissue. However, the clinical application of tPA was limited because of a few unsolved issues, such as a narrow therapeutic window, hemorrhagic complications, and limited thrombolytic efficacy, especially, for large thrombi. With the prosperous development of nanotechnology, a series of targeted delivery strategies and nanocomposites have been extensively investigated for delivering thrombolytic agents to facilitate thrombolysis treatment. Excitingly, numerous novel attempts have been reported to be effective in extending the half-life, targeting the thrombus site, and improving the thrombolytic efficacy in preclinical models. This article begins with a brief introduction to ischemic stroke, then describes the current state of thrombolysis treatment and, finally, introduces the application of various nanotechnology-based strategies for targeted delivery of thrombolytic agents. Representative studies are reviewed according to diverse strategies and nano-formulations, with the aim of providing integrated and up-to-date information and to improve the development of thrombolysis treatment for stroke patients.

Abstract
Thrombus causes insufficient blood flow and ischemia damages to brain and heart, leading to life-threatening cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Development of efficient antithrombotic strategies has long been a high priority, owing to the high morbidity and mortality of thrombotic diseases. With the rapid development of biomedical nanotechnology in diagnosis and treatment of thrombotic disorder, remarkable progresses have been made in antithrombotic nanomedicines in recent years. Herein, we outline the recent advances in this field at the intersection of thrombus theranostics and biomedical nanotechnology. First, thrombus diagnosis techniques based on biomedical nanotechnology are presented. Then, emerging antithrombotic nanotherapeutics are overviewed, including thrombus-targeting strategies, thrombus stimuli-responsive nanosystems and phase transition-driven nanotherapeutics. Furthermore, multifunctional nanosystems for combination theranostics of thrombotic diseases are discussed. Finally, the design considerations, advantages and challenges of these biomedical nanotechnology-driven therapeutics in clinical translation are highlighted.

Preparation of Peptide and Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator Conjugated Poly(Lactic-Co-Glycolic Acid) (PLGA) Magnetic Nanoparticles for Dual Targeted Thrombolytic Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21082690. [PMID: 32294917 PMCID: PMC7215398 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21082690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2020] [Revised: 04/09/2020] [Accepted: 04/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) is the only thrombolytic agent that has been approved by the FDA for treatment of ischemic stroke. However, a high dose intravenous infusion is required to maintain effective drug concentration, owing to the short half-life of the thrombolytic drug, whereas a momentous limitation is the risk of bleeding. We envision a dual targeted strategy for rtPA delivery will be feasible to minimize the required dose of rtPA for treatment. For this purpose, rtPA and fibrin-avid peptide were co-immobilized to poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) magnetic nanoparticles (PMNP) to prepare peptide/rtPA conjugated PMNPs (pPMNP-rtPA). During preparation, PMNP was first surface modified with avidin, which could interact with biotin. This is followed by binding PMNP-avidin with biotin-PEG-rtPA (or biotin-PEG-peptide), which was prepared beforehand by binding rtPA (or peptide) to biotin-PEG-maleimide while using click chemistry between maleimide and the single -SH group in rtPA (or peptide). The physicochemical property characterization indicated the successful preparation of the magnetic nanoparticles with full retention of rtPA fibrinolysis activity, while biological response studies underlined the high biocompatibility of all magnetic nanoparticles from cytotoxicity and hemolysis assays in vitro. The magnetic guidance and fibrin binding effects were also confirmed, which led to a higher thrombolysis rate in vitro using PMNP-rtPA or pPMNP-rtPA when compared to free rtPA after static or dynamic incubation with blood clots. Using pressure-dependent clot lysis model in a flow system, dual targeted pPMNP-rtPA could reduce the clot lysis time for reperfusion by 40% when compared to free rtPA at the same drug dosage. From in vivo targeted thrombolysis in a rat embolic model, pPMNP-rtPA was used at 20% of free rtPA dosage to restore the iliac blood flow in vascular thrombus that was created by injecting a blood clot to the hind limb area.

Abstract
In thrombolytic therapy, plasminogen activators (PAs) are still the only group of drug approved to induce thrombolysis, and therefore, critical for treatment of arterial thromboembolism, such as stroke, in the acute phase. Functionalized nanocomposites have attracted great attention in achieving target thrombolysis due to favorable characteristics associated with the size, surface properties and targeting effects. Many PA-conjugated nanocomposites have been prepared and characterized, and some of them has been demonstrated with therapeutic efficacy in animal models. To facilitate future translation, this paper reviews recent progress of this area, especially focus on how to achieve reproducible thrombolysis efficacy in vivo.
