Abstract
Stimuli-responsive cross-linked micelles (SCMs) are ideal nanocarriers for anti-cancer drugs. Compared with non-cross-linked micelles, SCMs exhibit superior structural stability. At the same time, the introduction of an environmentally sensitive crosslinker into a drug delivery system allows SCMs to respond to single or multiple stimuli in the tumor microenvironment, which can minimize drug leakage during the blood circulation process. In this study, curcumin (CUR) was modified as the hydrophobic core crosslinker by utilizing the bisphenol structure, and redox sensitive disulfide bonds were introduced to prepare the glutathione (GSH) stimulated responsive core crosslinker (abbreviated as N3-ss-CUR-ss-N3). In addition, amphiphilic polymer APEG-b-PBYP was prepared through the ring opening reaction, and reacted with the crosslinker through the "click" reaction. After being dispersed in the aqueous phase, core cross-linked nanoparticles (CCL NPs) were obtained. Finally, monoclonal antibody CD326 (mAb-CD326) was reduced and coupled to the hydrophilic chain ends to obtain the nanoparticles with surface modified antibodies (R-mAb-CD326@CCL NPs) for further enhancing targeted drug delivery. The structures of the polymer and crosslinker were characterized by 1H NMR, UV-Vis, FT-IR, and GPC. The morphology, size and stability of CCL NPs and R-mAb-CD326@CCL NPs were investigated by DLS and TEM. The in vitro drug release behavior of CCL NPs was also studied. The results showed that the CCL NPs exhibited reduction-responsiveness and were able to release the original drug CUR under 10 mM GSH conditions. Additionally, the CCL NPs exhibited excellent stability in both the simulated body fluid environment and organic solvents. Especially, R-mAb-CD326@CCL NPs can actively target tumor cells and showed better therapeutic efficacy in in vivo experiments with a tumor suppression rate of 78.7%. This work provides a new idea for the design of nano-drugs targeting breast cancer.

Abstract
The formation of polymeric micelles in aqueous environments through the self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers can provide a versatile platform to increase the solubility and permeability of hydrophobic drugs and pave the way for their administration. In comparison to various self-assembly-based vehicles, polymeric micelles commonly have a smaller size, spherical morphology, and simpler scale up process. The use of polymer-based micelles for the encapsulation and carrying of therapeutics to the site of action triggered a line of research on the synthesis of various amphiphilic polymers in the past few decades. The extended knowledge on polymers includes biocompatible smart amphiphilic copolymers for the formation of micelles, therapeutics loading and response to external stimuli, micelles with a tunable drug release pattern, etc. Different strategies such as ring-opening polymerization, atom transfer radical polymerization, reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer, nitroxide mediated polymerization, and a combination of these methods were employed to synthesize copolymers with diverse compositions and topologies with the proficiency of self-assembly into well-defined micellar structures. The current review provides a summary of the important polymerization techniques and recent achievements in the field of drug delivery using micellar systems. This review proposes new visions for the design and synthesis of innovative potent amphiphilic polymers in order to benefit from their application in drug delivery fields.

Abstract
To fabricate nanoscale proteinosomes, thermoresponsive miktoarm polymer protein bioconjugates were prepared through highly efficient molecular recognition between the β-cyclodextrin modified BSA (CD-BSA) and the adamantyl group anchored at the junction point of the thermoresponsive block copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PEG-b-PDEGMA). PEG-b-PDEGMA was synthesized by the Passerini reaction of benzaldehyde-modified PEG, 2-bromo-2-methylpropionic acid, and 1-isocyanoadamantane, followed by the atom transfer radical polymerization of DEGMA. Two block copolymers with different chain lengths of PDEGMA were prepared, and both self-assembled into polymersomes at a temperature above their lower critical solution temperatures (LCST). The two copolymers can undergo molecular recognition with the CD-BSA and form miktoarm star-like bioconjugates. The bioconjugates self-assembled into ∼160 nm proteinosomes at a temperature above their LCSTs, and the miktoarm star-like structure has a great effect on the formation of the proteinosomes. Most of the secondary structure and esterase activity of BSA in the proteinosomes were maintained. The proteinosomes exhibited low toxicity to the 4T1 cells and could deliver model drug doxorubicin into the 4T1 cells.

Abstract
Self-assembling proteins are valuable building blocks for constructing drug nanocarriers due to their self-assembly behavior, monodispersity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Genetic and chemical modifications allow for modular design of protein nanocarriers with effective drug encapsulation, targetability, stimuli responsiveness, and in vivo half-life. Protein nanocarriers have been developed to deliver various therapeutic molecules including small molecules, proteins, and nucleic acids with proven in vitro and in vivo efficacy. This article reviews recent advances in protein nanocarriers that are not derived from natural protein nanostructures, such as protein cages or virus like particles. The protein nanocarriers described here are self-assembled from rationally or de novo designed recombinant proteins, as well as recombinant proteins complexed with other biomolecules, presenting properties that are unique from those of natural protein carriers. Design, functionalization, and therapeutic application of protein nanocarriers will be discussed.

Abstract
Disulfide bonds (S-S) are widely found in chemistry, biology, and materials science. Polymer nanomaterials containing disulfide bonds with a variety of excellent properties have great potential as drug and gene delivery carriers. The disulfide bond can exist stably in extracellular environment, but upon entering cancer cells, it will undergo a sulfhydryl-disulfide bond exchange reaction with glutathione (GSH) in the cytoplasm, causing the disulfide bond cleavage. Therefore, polymeric nanomaterials containing disulfide bonds are promising in cancer treatment due to the elevated GSH concentration inside cancer cells. This review highlights various synthetic approaches to prepare disulfide containing redox-responsive polymeric nanomedicine, including synthesis of disulfide bonds containing polymers, construction of polymeric nanoparticle with shell or core crosslinked disulfide bonds, preparation of polymer-drug conjugates via disulfide linkers, and disulfide linked responsive payloads.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 14:7913.

Abstract
In the present study, we developed near-infrared (NIR)-responsive shell-crosslinked (SCL) micelles using the Diels-Alder (DA) click reaction between an amphiphilic copolymer poly(d,l-lactide)20-b-poly((furfuryl methacrylate)10-co-(N-acryloylmorpholine)78) (PLA20-b-P(FMA10-co-NAM78)) and a diselenide-containing crosslinker, bis(maleimidoethyl) 3,3'-diselanediyldipropionoate (BMEDSeDP). The PLA20-b-P(FMA10-co-NAM78) copolymer was synthesized by RAFT polymerization of FMA and NAM using a PLA20-macro-chain transfer agent (PLA20-CTA). The DA reaction between BMEDSeDP and the furfuryl moieties in the copolymeric micelles in water resulted in the formation of SCL micelles. The SCL micelles were analyzed by 1H-NMR, FE-SEM, and DLS. An anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX), and an NIR sensitizer, indocyanine green (ICG), were effectively incorporated into the SCL micelles during the crosslinking reaction. The DOX/ICG-loaded SCL micelles showed pH- and NIR-responsive drug release, where burst release was observed under NIR laser irradiation. The in vitro cytotoxicity analysis demonstrated that the SCL was not cytotoxic against normal HFF-1 cells, while DOX/ICG-loaded SCL micelles exhibited significant antitumor activity toward HeLa cells. Thus, the SCL micelles of PLA20-b-P(FMA10-co-NAM78) can be used as a potential delivery vehicle for the controlled drug release in cancer therapy.
