Abstract
Transmembrane channels play a vital role in regulating the permeation process, and have inspired recent development of biomimetic channels. Herein, we report a class of artificial biomimetic nanochannels based on DNAzyme-functionalized glass nanopipettes to realize delicate control of channel permeability, whereby the surface wettability and charge can be tuned by metal ions and DNAzyme-substrates, allowing reversible conversion between different permeability states. We demonstrate that the nanochannels can be reversibly switched between four different permeability states showing distinct permeability to various functional molecules. By embedding the artificial nanochannels into the plasma membrane of single living cells, we achieve selective transport of dye molecules across the cell membrane. Finally, we report on the advanced functions including gene silencing of miR-21 in single cancer cells and selective transport of Ca2+ into single PC-12 cells. In this work, we provide a versatile tool for the design of rectifying artificial nanochannels with on-demand functions.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) reflects an innovative cancer treatment modality; however, to enhance its relatively low therapeutic efficiency, rational combination with extra therapeutic modes is highly appreciated. Here, core-coordinated amphiphilic, elliptic polymer nanoparticles (Cu/CBL-POEGEA NPs) are constructed via the self-assembly of a glutathione (GSH)-responsive polymer-drug conjugate, bearing side-chain acylthiourea (ATU) motifs which behave as ligands capable of coordinating Cu(II), such a design is featured by combined chemo (CT)/CDT with dual GSH depletion collectively triggered by the Cu(II) reduction reaction and disulfide bond breakage. To do so, an amphiphilic random copolymer poly[oligo(ethylene glycol)ethyl acrylate-co-thiourea] [P(OEGEA-co-ATU)] is synthesized, followed by conjugation of chlorambucil (CBL) to ATU motifs linked via a disulfide bond, thus yielding the targeted P[OEGEA-co-(ATU-g-CBL)]. In such a system, hydrophilic POEGEA serves as the biocompatible section and ATU motifs coordinate Cu(II), resulting in core-coordinated elliptic Cu/CBL-POEGEA NPs. Benefitting from the GSH-induced reduction reaction, Cu(II) is converted into Cu(I) and subsequently react with endogenous H2O2 to create •OH, realizing GSH-depletion-promoted CDT. Additionally, the disulfide bond endows GSH-responsive CBL release and provokes further GSH decline, finally realizing combined CDT/CT toward enhancing antitumor outcomes, and in vitro as well as in vivo studies indeed reveal remarkable efficacy. Such a system can provide valuable advantages to create novel nanomedicines toward cascade antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Enantiomers of various drug molecules have a specific effect on living organisms. Accordingly, developing a sample method for the efficient and rapid recognition of chiral drug enantiomers is of great industrial value and physiological significance. Here, inspired by the structure of ion channels in living organisms, we developed a chiral nanosensor based on an artificial tip-modified nanochannel system that allows efficient selective recognition of chiral drugs. In this system, l-alanine-pillar[5]arenes as selective receptors were introduced on the tip side of conical nanochannels to form an enantioselective "gate". The selective coefficient of our system toward R-propranolol is 4.96, which is higher than the traditional fully modified nanochannels in this work.

Abstract
Membranes fabricated from self-assembled materials are one recent example of how polymer science has been leveraged to advance membrane technology. Due to their well-defined nanostructures, the performance of membranes made from these materials is pushing the boundaries of size-selective filtration. Still, there remains a need for higher performance and more selective membranes. The advent of functional membrane platforms that rely on mechanisms beyond steric hindrance (e.g., charge-selective membranes and membrane sorbents) is one approach to realize improved solute-solute selectivity and further advance membrane technology. To date, the lab-scale demonstration of these platforms has often relied on fabrication schemes that require extended processing times. However, in order to translate lab-scale demonstrations to larger-scale implementation, it is critical that the rate of the functionalization scheme is reconciled with membrane manufacturing rates. In this viewpoint, it is postulated that substrates lined by reactive moieties that are amenable to postfabrication modification would enable the production of membranes with controlled nanostructures while providing access to a diverse array of pore wall chemistries. A comparison of reaction and manufacturing rates suggests that mechanisms that exhibit second-order reaction rate constants of at least 1 M-1 s-1 are needed for roll-to-roll processing. Furthermore, for mechanisms that exhibit rate constants greater than 300 M-1 s-1, it may be possible to integrate multiple functional domains over the membrane surface such that useful properties emerge. These multifunctional systems can expand the capabilities of membranes when the patterned chemistries interact at the heterojunctions between domains (e.g., Janus and charge-patterned mosaic membranes) or if they exhibit cooperative responses to external operating conditions (e.g., membrane pumps).

Abstract
Biological ion channels can realize delicate mass transport under complicated physiological conditions. Artificial nanochannels can achieve biomimetic ion current rectification (ICR), gating, and selectivity that are mostly performed in pure salt solutions. Synthetic nanochannels that can function under mixed ion systems are highly desirable, yet their performances are hard to be compared to those under pure systems. Seeking out the potential reasons by investigating the effect of mixed-system components on the ion-transport properties of the constructed nanochannels seems necessary and important. Herein, we report the effect of anions with different charges and sizes on the ICR properties of positively charged nanochannels. Among the investigated anions, the low-valent anions showed no impact on the ICR direction, while the high-valent component ferrocyanide [Fe(CN)64-] caused significant ICR inversion. The ICR inversion mechanism is evidenced to result from the adsorption of Fe(CN)64--induced surface charge reversal, which relates to solution concentration, pH conditions, and nanochannel sizes and applies to both aminated and quaternized nanochannels that are positively charged. Noticeably, Fe(CN)64- is found to interfere with the transport of protein molecules in the nanochannel. This work points out that the ion species from mixed systems would potentially impact the intrinsic ICR properties of the nanochannels. Replacing highly charged counterions with organic components would be promising in building up future nanochannel-based mass transport systems running under mixed systems.

Abstract
Highly sensitive responsiveness is vital for stimuli-responsive membranes. However, it is a great challenge to fabricate stimuli-responsive membranes with ultrahigh gating ratio (the ratio of the salt solution permeating flux to the pure water permeating flux) and high response speed simultaneously. In this work, a salt-responsive membrane with an ultrahigh gating ratio is fabricated via a facile strategy by grafting zwitterionic nanohydrogels onto a poly(acrylic acid)-grafting-poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PAA-g-PVDF) microporous membrane. Due to the synergistic effect of two functional materials, PAA chains and zwitterionic nanohydrogels tethered on PAA chains, this stimuli-responsive membrane exhibits an ultrasensitive salt responsiveness with a gating ratio of up to 8.76 times for Na+ ions, 89.6 times for Mg2+ ions, and 89.3 times for Ca2+ ions. In addition, such zwitterionic nanohydrogels-grafted PAA-g-PVDF (ZNG-g-PVDF) membranes exhibit very rapid responses to stimuli. The permeating flux changes swiftly while altering the feed solution in a continuous filtration process. The excellent salt-responsive characteristics endow such a ZNG-g-PVDF membrane with great potential for applications like drug delivery, water treatment, and sensors.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive biointerfaces can serve as dynamic tools for modulation of biointerfacial interactions. Considering the complexity of biological environments, surfaces with multistimulus responsive switchable bioactivity are of great interest. In the work reported herein, a multistimulus responsive biointerface with on-off switchable bioadhesion (protein adsorption, bacterial adhesion, and cell adhesion) and surface functions in response to change in temperature, pH, or sugar content is developed. This surface is based on a silicon modified with a copolymer containing a thermoresponsive component (poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)) and a component, phenylboronic acid, that can form pH-responsive and sugar-responsive dynamic boronate ester bonds with diol-containing molecules. It is shown that biointeractions including protein adsorption and release, bacteria and cell attachment and detachment on this surface can be regulated by changing temperature, pH, and sugar content of the medium, either individually or all three simultaneously. Furthermore, this surface can switch between two different functions, namely between killing and releasing bacteria, by introduction of a diol-containing biocidal compound. Compared to switchable surfaces that are responsive to only one stimulus, our multistimulus responsive surface is better adapted to respond to the multifunctional complexities of the biological environment and thus has potential for use in numerous biomedical and biotechnology applications.

Abstract
Solid-state nanopores are fascinating objects that enable the development of specific and efficient chemical and biological sensors, as well as the investigation of the physicochemical principles ruling the behavior of biological channels. The great variety of biological nanopores that nature provides regulates not only the most critical processes in the human body, including neuronal communication and sensory perception, but also the most important bioenergetic process on earth: photosynthesis. This makes them an exhaustless source of inspiration toward the development of more efficient, selective, and sophisticated nanopore-based nanofluidic devices. The key point responsible for the vibrant and exciting advance of solid nanopore research in the last decade has been the simultaneous combination of advanced fabrication nanotechnologies to tailor the size, geometry, and application of novel and creative approaches to confer the nanopore surface specific functionalities and responsiveness. Here, the state of the art is described in the following critical areas: i) theory, ii) nanofabrication techniques, iii) (bio)chemical functionalization, iv) construction of nanofluidic actuators, v) nanopore (bio)sensors, and vi) commercial aspects. The plethora of potential applications once envisioned for solid-state nanochannels is progressively and quickly materializing into new technologies that hold promise to revolutionize the everyday life.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF ADVANCED MATERIALS 2019; 20:858-869. [PMID: 31497179 PMCID: PMC6720224 DOI: 10.1080/14686996.2019.1643259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2019] [Revised: 07/10/2019] [Accepted: 07/10/2019] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
Separation of phosphoproteins is essential for understanding their vital roles in biological processes and pathology. Transition metal-based receptors and antibodies, the routinely used materials for phosphoproteins enrichment, both suffer from low sensitivity, low recovery and coverage. In this work, a novel smart copolymer material was synthesized by modifying porous silica gel with a poly[(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-4-(3-acryloylthioureido) benzoic acid)0.35] (denoted as NIPAAm-co-ATBA0.35@SiO2). Driven by the hydrogen bonds complexation of ATBA monomers with phosphate groups, the copolymer-modified surface exhibited a remarkable adsorption toward native α-casein (a model phosphoprotein), accompanied with significant changes in surface viscoelasticity and roughness. Moreover, this adsorption was tunable and critically dependent on the polarity of carrier solvent. Benefiting from these features, selective enrichment of phosphoprotein was obtained using NIPAAm-co-ATBA0.35@SiO2 under a dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) mode. This result displays a good potential of smart polymeric materials in phosphoprotein enrichment, which may facilitate top-down phosphoproteomics studies.

Abstract
Dynamic gating behaviour of ionic nanochannel is precisely manipulated by cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by taking advantage of reversible conformational transition of the smart polymer chains in response to cAMP specific adsorption, which provides a new idea for developing smart nanochannels regulated by crucial signal-biomolecules.

Abstract
Inspired by the delicate functions of living organisms to transport or transform nitrite ions (NO2-), a bioinspired smart nanochannel that can realize harmless conversion of NO2- into N2 is developed by immobilizing a NO2--responsive functional molecule, p-phenylenediamine, onto a single conical polyethylene terephthalate nanochannel. Subsequently, the aromatic primary amine groups could be triggered to transform into a phenyldiazonium molecule based on the acid-activated NO2--binding process. The nanochannel exhibits specific selectivity and highly ultratrace recognition of NO2-. Fascinatingly, the transformed phenyldiazonium molecules could be triggered to generate phenol groups and release N2 by ultraviolet light activation, achieving NO2- harmless conversion. This system could provide inspiration to construct artificial nanofluidic devices for ion-sensing and nitrogen cycle fields.
