Abstract
Peptide self-assemblies could leverage their specificity, stability, biocompatibility, and electrochemical activity to create functionalized interfaces for molecular sensing and detection. However, the dynamics within these interfaces are complex, with competing forces, including those maintaining peptide structures, recognizing analytes, and facilitating signal transmission. Such competition could lead to nonspecific interference, compromising the detection sensitivity and accuracy. In this study, a series of peptides with precise structures and controllable electron transfer capabilities were designed. Through examining their stacking patterns, the interplay between the peptides' hierarchical structures, their ability to recognize targets, and their conductivity were clarified. Among these, the EP5 peptide assembly was identified for its ability to form controllable electronic tunnels facilitated by π-stacking induced β-sheets. EP5 could enhance the long-range conductivity, minimize nonspecific interference, and exhibit targeted recognition capabilities. Based on EP5, an electrochemical sensing interface toward the disease marker PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1) was developed, suitable for both whole blood assay and in vivo companion diagnosis. It opens a new avenue for crafting electrochemical detection interfaces with specificity, sensitivity, and compatibility.

Covarrubias AA, Reyna-Jeldes M, Pedroso-Santana S, Marín S, Madero-Mendoza C, Demergasso C, Coddou C. Arsenic Nanoparticles Trigger Apoptosis via Anoikis Induction in OECM-1 Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:6723. [PMID: 38928430 PMCID: PMC11204275 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25126723] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Arsenic compounds have been used as therapeutic alternatives for several diseases including cancer. In the following work, we obtained arsenic nanoparticles (AsNPs) produced by an anaerobic bacterium from the Salar de Ascotán, in northern Chile, and evaluated their effects on the human oral squamous carcinoma cell line OECM-1. Resazurin reduction assays were carried out on these cells using 1-100 µM of AsNPs, finding a concentration-dependent reduction in cell viability that was not observed for the non-tumoral gastric mucosa-derived cell line GES-1. To establish if these effects were associated with apoptosis induction, markers like Bcl2, Bax, and cleaved caspase 3 were analyzed via Western blot, executor caspases 3/7 via luminometry, and DNA fragmentation was analyzed by TUNEL assay, using 100 µM cisplatin as a positive control. OECM-1 cells treated with AsNPs showed an induction of both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways, which can be explained by a significant decrease in P-Akt/Akt and P-ERK/ERK relative protein ratios, and an increase in both PTEN and p53 mRNA levels and Bit-1 relative protein levels. These results suggest a prospective mechanism of action for AsNPs that involves a potential interaction with extracellular matrix (ECM) components that reduces cell attachment and subsequently triggers anoikis, an anchorage-dependent type of apoptosis.

Abstract
The necessity to engineer sustainable nanomaterials for the environment and human health has recently increased. Due to their abundance, fast growth, easy cultivation, biocompatibility and richness of secondary metabolites, algae are valuable biological source for the green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs). The aim of this review is to demonstrate the feasibility of using algal-based NPs for cancer treatment. Blue-green, brown, red and green micro- and macro-algae are the most commonly participating algae in the green synthesis of NPs. In this process, many algal bioactive compounds, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, alkaloids, flavonoids and phenols, can catalyze the reduction of metal ions to NPs. In addition, many driving factors, including pH, temperature, duration, static conditions and substrate concentration, are involved to facilitate the green synthesis of algal-based NPs. Here, the biosynthesis, mechanisms and applications of algal-synthesized NPs in cancer therapy have been critically discussed. We also reviewed the effective role of algal synthesized NPs as anticancer treatment against human breast, colon and lung cancers and carcinoma.

Abstract
With the advancement of life medicine, in vitro diagnostics (IVD) technology has become an auxiliary tool for early diagnosis of diseases. However, biosensors for IVD now face some disadvantages such as poor targeting, significant antifouling properties, low density of recognized molecules, and poor stability. In recent years, peptides have been demonstrated to have various functions in unnatural biological systems, such as targeting properties, antifouling properties, and self-assembly properties, which indicates that peptides can be engineered. These properties of peptides, combined with their good biocompatibility, can be well applied to the design of biosensors to solve the problems mentioned above. This review provides an overview of the properties of engineered functional peptides and their applications in enhancing biosensor performance, mainly in the field of optics and electrochemistry.

Abstract
Glioma is a highly challenging human malignancy and conventional drugs typically exhibit low blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability as well as poor tumor targeting. To complicate matters further, recent advances in research on oncology have highlighted the dynamic and complex cellular networks within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) that complicate glioma treatment. Therefore, precise and efficient targeting of tumor tissue, whilst reversing immunosuppression, may provide an ideal strategy for the treatment of gliomas. Here, by using the "one-bead-one-component" combinatorial chemistry approach, we designed and screened a peptide that can specifically target brain glioma stem cells (GSCs), which was further engineered into glycopeptide-functionalized multifunctional micelles. We demonstrated that the micelles can carry DOX and effectively penetrate the BBB to achieve targeted killing of glioma cells. Meanwhile, mannose confers a unique tumor immune microenvironment modulating function to the micelles, which can activate the anti-tumor immune response function of tumor-associated macrophages and is expected to be further applied in vivo. This study highlights that glycosylation modification of targeted peptides specific to cancer stem cells (CSCs) may serve as an effective tool to improve the therapeutic outcome of brain tumor patients.

Abstract
Both tumor-cell-targeting and BBB (blood-brain barrier)-penetrating ability are the key characteristics for glioma theranostics. We established one type of nanomicellar probe functionalized with a newly developed peptide WES. The micellar system could enact a series of cascaded functions in living bodies. It could specifically recruit the ApoE corona in blood circulation rather than perform nonspecific protein absorption. Following, it could penetrate into the BBB in an active manner. Finally, and most importantly, it could recognize and target the tumor marker as well as deliver drugs effectively toward glioma. The cascaded micellar system has shown satisfactory therapeutic ability for glioma in both a subcutaneous and orthotopic model, which provides a prospective strategy for brain cancer treatment.

Abstract
Broad-spectrum detection and long-term monitoring of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) remain challenging due to the extreme rarity, heterogeneity, and dynamic nature of CTCs. Herein, a dual-affinity nanostructured platform was developed for capturing different subpopulations of CTCs and monitoring CTCs during treatment. Stepwise assembly of fibrous scaffolds, a ligand-exchangeable spacer, and a lysosomal protein transmembrane 4 β (LAPTM4B)-targeting peptide creates biomimetic, stimuli-responsive, and multivalent-binding nanointerfaces, which enable harvest of CTCs directly from whole blood with high yield, purity, and viability. The stable overexpression of the target LAPTM4B protein in CTCs and the enhanced peptide-protein binding facilitate the capture of rare CTCs in patients at an early stage, detection of both epithelial-positive and nonepithelial CTCs, and tracking of therapeutic responses. The reversible release of CTCs allows downstream molecular analysis and identification of specific liver cancer genes. The consistency of the information with clinical diagnosis presents the prospect of this platform for early diagnosis, metastasis prediction, and prognosis assessment.

Abstract
The interaction of nanoparticles with protein and cells may provide important information regarding their biomedical implementations. Herein, after synthesis of tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles by hydrothermal method, their interaction with human serum albumin (HSA) was evaluated by multispectroscopic and molecular docking (MD) approaches. Furthermore, the selective antiproliferative impact of SnO2 nanoparticles against leukemia K562 cells was assessed by different cellular assays, whereas lymphocytes were used as control cells. TEM, DLS, zeta potential and XRD techniques showed that crystalline SnO2 nanoparticles have a size of less than 50 nm with a good colloidal stability. Fluorescence and CD spectroscopy analysis indicated that the HSA undergoes some slight conformational changes after interaction with SnO2 nanoparticles, whereas the secondary structure of HSA remains intact. Moreover, MD outcomes revealed that the charged residues of HSA preferentially bind to SnO2 nanoclusters in the binding pocket. Antiproliferative examinations displayed that SnO2 nanoparticles can selectively cause the mortality of K562 cells through induction of cell membrane leakage, activation of caspase-9, -8, -3, down regulation of Bcl-2 mRNA, the elevation of ROS level, S phase arrest, and apoptosis. In conclusion, this data may indicate that SnO2 nanoparticles can be used as promising particles to be integrated into therapeutic platforms.
