Abstract
Surgical intervention is the most common first-line treatment for severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) associated with high intracranial pressure, while the complexity of these surgical procedures often results in complications. Surgeons often struggle to comprehensively evaluate the TBI status, making it difficult to select the optimal intervention strategy. Here, we introduce a fluorescence imaging-based technology that uses high-quality silver indium selenide-based quantum dots (QDs) for integrated TBI diagnosis and surgical guidance. These engineered, poly(ethylene glycol)-capped QDs emit in the near-infrared region, are resistant to phagocytosis, and importantly, are ultrastable after the epitaxial growth of an aluminum-doped zinc sulfide shell in the aqueous phase that renders the QDs resistant to long-term light irradiation and complex physiological environments. We found that intravenous injection of QDs enabled both the precise diagnosis of TBI in a mouse model and, more importantly, the comprehensive evaluation of the TBI status before, during, and after an operation to distinguish intracranial from superficial hemorrhages, provide real-time monitoring of the secondary hemorrhage, and guide the decision making on the evacuation of intracranial hematomas. This QD-based diagnostic and monitoring system could ultimately complement existing clinical tools for treating TBI, which may help surgeons improve patient outcomes and avoid unnecessary procedures.

Abstract
X-ray fluorescence imaging (XRF-imaging) with subcellular resolution is used to study the intracellular integrity of a protein corona that was pre-formed around gold nanoparticles (AuNP). Artificial proteins engineered to obtain Gd coordination for detection by XRF-imaging were used to form the corona. Indications about the degradation of this protein corona at a cellular and subcellular level can be observed by following the Au and Gd quantities in a time and spatial-dependent manner. The extended acquisition times necessary for capturing individual XRF-imaging cell images result in relatively small sample populations, stressing the need for faster image acquisition strategies in future XRF-imaging-based studies to deal with the inherent variability between cells. Still, results obtained reveal degradation of the protein corona during cellular trafficking, followed by differential cellular processing for AuNP and Gd-labelled proteins. Overall, this demonstrates that the dynamic degradation of the protein corona can be tracked by XRF-imaging to a certain degree.

Abstract
The uptake and the fate of Zr-based metal-organic-framework nanoparticles labeled with organic fluorophores in HeLa cells has been monitored with fluorescence detection and elemental analysis. The nanoparticles have been selected as a model system of carrier nanoparticles (here Zr-based metal-organic-framework nanoparticles) with integrated cargo molecules (here organic fluorophores), with aze that does not allow for efficient exocytosis, a material which only partly degrades under acidic conditions as present in endosomes/lysosomes, and with limited colloidal stability. Data show that, for Zr-based metal-organic-framework nanoparticles of 40 nm size as investigated here, the number of nanoparticles per cells decreases faster due to particle redistribution upon proliferation than due to nanoparticle exocytosis and that, thus, also for this system, exocytosis is not an efficient pathway for clearance of the nanoparticles from the cells.

Abstract
Elucidating the water-induced degradation mechanism of quantum-sized semiconductor nanocrystals is an important prerequisite for their practical application because they are vulnerable to moisture compared to their bulk counterparts. In-situ liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy is a desired method for studying nanocrystal degradation, and it has recently gained technical advancement. Herein, the moisture-induced degradation of semiconductor nanocrystals is investigated using graphene double-liquid-layer cells that can control the initiation of reactions. Crystalline and noncrystalline domains of quantum-sized CdS nanorods are clearly distinguished during their decomposition with atomic-scale imaging capability of the developed liquid cells. The results reveal that the decomposition process is mediated by the involvement of the amorphous-phase formation, which is different from conventional nanocrystal etching. The reaction can proceed without the electron beam, suggesting that the amorphous-phase-mediated decomposition is induced by water. Our study discloses unexplored aspects of moisture-induced deformation pathways of semiconductor nanocrystals, involving amorphous intermediates.

Abstract
Six types of titanium dioxide particles with defined size, shape, and crystal structure (polymorphic form) were prepared: nanorods (70 × 25 nm2), rutile sub-microrods (190 × 40 nm2), rutile microspheres (620 nm), anatase nanospheres (100 nm), anatase microspheres (510 nm), and amorphous titania microspheres (620 nm). All particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, dynamic light scattering, infrared spectroscopy, and UV spectroscopy. The sub-toxic cell-biological response to these particles by NR8383 macrophages was assessed. All particle types were taken up well by the cells. The cytotoxicity and the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were negligible for all particles up to a dose of 100 µg mL-1, except for rutile microspheres which had a very rough surface in contrast to anatase and amorphous titania microspheres. The particle-induced cell migration assay (PICMA; based on chemotaxis) of all titanium dioxide particles was comparable to the effect of control silica nanoparticles (50 nm, uncoated, agglomerated) but did not show a trend with respect to particle size, shape, or crystal structure. The coating with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) had no significant biological effect. However, the rough surface of rutile microspheres clearly induced pro-inflammatory cell reactions that were not predictable by the primary particle size alone.

Abstract
Due to its beneficial pharmacological properties, ferritin (Ftn) is considered as an interesting drug delivery vehicle to alleviate the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin (DOX) in chemotherapy. However, the encapsulation of DOX in Ftn suffers from heavy precipitation and low protein recovery yield which limits its full potential. Here, a new DOX encapsulation strategy by cysteine-maleimide conjugation is proposed. In order to demonstrate that this strategy is more efficient compared to the other approaches, DOX is encapsulated in Ftn variants carrying different surface charges. Furthermore, in contrast to the common belief, this data show that DOX molecules are also found to bind non-specifically to the surface of Ftn. This can be circumvented by the use of Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) during encapsulation or by washing with acidic buffer. The biocompatibility studies of the resulting DOX Ftn variants in MCF-7 and MHS cancer cells shows a complex relationship between the cytotoxicity, the DOX loading and the different surface charges of Ftn. Further investigation on the cell uptake mechanism provides reasonable explanations for the cytotoxicity results and reveals that surface charging of Ftn hinders its transferrin receptor 1 (TfR-1) mediated cellular uptake in MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
Cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of spherical barium sulphate microparticles (diameter 1 µm) were studied with three different cell lines, i.e. THP-1 cells (monocytes; model for a phagocytosing cell line), HeLa cells (epithelial cells; model for a non-phagocytosing cell line), and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs; model for non-phagocytosing primary cells). Barium sulphate is a chemically and biologically inert solid which allows to distinguish two different processes, e.g. the particle uptake and potential adverse biological reactions. Barium sulphate microparticles were surface-coated by carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) which gave the particles a negative charge. Fluorescence was added by conjugating 6-aminofluorescein to CMC. The cytotoxicity of these microparticles was studied by the MTT test and a live/dead assay. The uptake was visualized by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The particle uptake mechanism was quantified by flow cytometry with different endocytosis inhibitors in THP-1 and HeLa cells. The microparticles were easily taken up by all cell types, mostly by phagocytosis and micropinocytosis, within a few hours. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The interaction of particles and cells is of primary importance in nanomedicine, drug delivery, and nanotoxicology. It is commonly assumed that cells take up only nanoparticles unless they are able to phagocytosis. Here, we demonstrate with chemically and biologically inert microparticles of barium sulphate that even non-phagocytosing cells like HeLa and hMSCs take up microparticles to a considerable degree. This has considerable implication in biomaterials science, e.g. in case of abrasive debris and particulate degradation products from implants like endoprostheses.

Abstract
There are still some gaps in existing knowledge in the field of cancer nanotheranostics, e.g., the efficiency of nanoparticle-loaded cells for targeted delivery. In the current study, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were delivered to tumors in both subcutaneous tumor and lung metastasis tumor models by intravenous injection of either free Au NPs or of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which were loaded with endocytosed Au NPs. By making injections with the same dose of administrated Au NPs, it was possible to directly compare tumor targeting of both delivery modes. Hereby, the passive targeting of tumor by the plain Au NPs was facilitated by the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect. Au NP retention by tumors, as well as tumor penetration, were found to be improved up to 2.4-to-9.3-fold when comparing the MSC-mediated delivery of Au NPs to the delivery of the plain Au NPs via EPR effect on day 7 post administration. While the absolute retention of Au NPs in the tumor remained low, our data show that, upon injection of the same amount of Au NPs, in fact MSC-mediated delivery is quantitatively higher than EPR-mediated delivery of NPs by half an order of magnitude.

Abstract
Nanoplastics, one component of plastic pollution, can enter human bodies via inhalation and thus threaten human health. However, the knowledge about the uptake and exocytosis of nanoplastics in cells of human lung organs is still very limited. Herein, we investigated the endocytosis, distribution, and exocytosis of polystyrene nanoparticles (PS NPs) of 50 nm (G50PS) and 100 nm (R100PS) in A549 cells and BEAS-2B cells. We found that both the cellular uptake of PS NPs increased positively with exposure time and dose, and A549 cells ingested more PS NPs than BEAS-2B cells did. In addition, the intracellular content of G50PS was higher than that of R100PS except at a higher dose and longer time. The ingested PS NPs were distributed mainly in lysosomes, while many G50PS appeared around the cell membrane, and R100PS also accumulated in mitochondria in BEAS-2B cells. As for the exocytosis, R100PS was more difficult to excrete than G50PS. Lysosomes in A549 cells and actin and microtubule in BEAS-2B cells were involved in the exocytosis of the PS NPs. These findings provide detailed information about the translocation of nanoplastics in lung cells, which is valuable for the safety assessment of nanoplastics in the environment.

Microcapsule-Based Dose-Dependent Regulation of the Lifespan and Behavior of Adipose-Derived MSCs as a Cell-Mediated Delivery System: In Vitro Study. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 24:ijms24010292. [PMID: 36613737 PMCID: PMC9820487 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010292] [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: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The development of “biohybrid” drug delivery systems (DDS) based on mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) is an important focus of current biotechnology research, particularly in the areas of oncotheranostics, regenerative medicine, and tissue bioengineering. However, the behavior of MSCs at sites of inflammation and tumor growth is relevant to potential tumor transformation, immunosuppression, the inhibition or stimulation of tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Therefore, the concept was formulated to control the lifespan of MSCs for a specific time sufficient for drug delivery to the target tissue by varying the number of internalized microcontainers. The current study addressed the time-dependent in vitro assessment of the viability, migration, and division of human adipose-derived MSCs (hAMSCs) as a function of the dose of internalized polyelectrolyte microcapsules prepared using a layer-by-layer technique. Polystyrene sulfonate (PSS)—poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)-coated spherical micrometer-sized (diameter ~2−3 µm) vaterite (CaCO3) microcapsules (PAH-PSS)6 with the capping PSS layer were prepared after dissolution of the CaCO3 core template. The Cell-IQ phase contrast imaging results showed that hAMSCs internalized all (PAH-PSS)6 microcapsules saturating the intercellular medium (5−90 particles per cell). A strong (r > 0.7) linear dose-dependent and time-dependent (up to 8 days) regression was observed between the in vitro decrease in cell viability and the number of internalized microvesicles. The approximate time-to-complete-death of hAMSCs at different concentrations of microcapsules in culture was 428 h (1:5 ratio), 339 h (1:10), 252 h (1:20), 247 h (1:45), and 170 h (1:90 ratio). By varying the number of microcontainers loaded into the cells (from 1:10 to 1:90), a dose-dependent exponential decrease in both the movement rate and division rate of hAMSCs was observed. A real-time cell analysis (RTCA) of the effect of (PAH-PSS)6 microcapsules (from 1:5 to 1:20) on hAMSCs also showed a dose- and time-dependent decrease in cell longevity after a 50h study at ratios of 1:10 and 1:20. The incorporation of microcapsules (1:5, 1:20, and 1:45) resulted in a dose-dependent increase in 24−48 h secretion of GRO-α (CXCL1), MIF, and SDF-1α (CXCL12) chemokines in hAMSC culture. In turn, the normalization or inhibition of chemokine secretion occurred after 72 h, except for MIF levels below 5−20 microcapsules, which were internalized by MSCs. Thus, the proposed concept of controlling the lifespan of MSC-based DDS using a dose of internalized PAH-PSS microcapsules could be useful for biomedical applications. (PAH-PSS)6 microcapsule ratios of 1:5 and 1:10 have little effect on the lifespan of hAMSCs for a long time (up to 14−18 days), which can be recommended for regenerative therapy and tissue bioengineering associated with low oncological risk. The microcapsule ratios of 1:20 and 1:45 did not significantly restrict the migratory activity of hAMSCs-based DDS during the time interval required for tissue delivery (up to 4−5 days), followed by cell death after 10 days. Therefore, such doses of microcapsules can be used for hAMSC-based DDS in oncotheranostics.

Abstract
Azide-terminated ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (2 nm gold core) were covalently functionalized with alkyne-terminated small-interfering siRNA duplexes by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC; click chemistry). The nanoparticle core was visualized by transmission electron microscopy. The number of attached siRNA molecules per nanoparticle was determined by a combination of atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS; for gold) and UV-Vis spectroscopy (for siRNA). Each nanoparticle carried between 6 and 10 siRNA duplex molecules which corresponds to a weight ratio of siRNA to gold of about 2.2 : 1. Different kinds of siRNA were conjugated to the nanoparticles, depending on the gene to be silenced. In general, the nanoparticles were readily taken up by cells and highly efficient in gene silencing, in contrast to free siRNA. This was demonstrated in HeLa-eGFP cells (silencing of eGFP) and in LPS-stimulated macrophages (silencing of NF-κB). Furthermore, we demonstrated that nanoparticles carrying antiviral siRNA potently inhibited the replication of Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) in vitro. This highlights the strong potential of siRNA-functionalized ultrasmall gold nanoparticles in a broad spectrum of applications, including gene silencing and treatment of viral infections, combined with a minimal dose of gold.

Abstract
Ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (2 nm) easily penetrate the membranes of intestinal murine epithelial cells (MODE-K) and colorectal cancer cells (CT-26). They are also taken up by 3D spheroids (400 µm) of these cell types and primary gut organoids (500 µm). In contrast, dissolved dyes are not taken up by any of these cells or 3D structures. The distribution of fluorescent ultrasmall gold nanoparticles inside cells, spheroids, and gut organoids is examined by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Nanoparticles conjugated with the cytostatic drug doxorubicin and a fluorescent dye exhibit significantly greater cytotoxicity toward CT-26 tumor spheroids than equally concentrated dissolved doxorubicin, probably because they enter the interior of a spheroid much more easily than dissolved doxorubicin. Comprehensive analyses show that the cellular uptake of ultrasmall gold nanoparticles occurs by different endocytosis pathways.

Abstract
The study of the interaction of engineered nanoparticles, including quantum dots (QDs), with cellular constituents and the kinetics of their localization and transport, has provided new insights into their biological consequences in cancers and for the development of effective cancer therapies. The present study aims to elucidate the toxicity and intracellular transport kinetics of CdSe/ZnS and InP/ZnS QDs in late-stage ML-1 thyroid cancer using well-tested HeLa as a control. Our XTT (2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide) viability assay (Cell Proliferation Kit II) showed that ML-1 cells and non-cancerous mouse fibroblast cells exhibit no viability defect in response to these QDs, whereas HeLa cell viability decreases. These results suggest that HeLa cells are more sensitive to the QDs compared to ML-1 cells. To test the possibility that transporting rates of QDs are different between HeLa and ML-1 cells, we performed a QD subcellular localization assay by determining Pearson’s Coefficient values and found that HeLa cells showed faster QDs transporting towards the lysosome. Consistently, the ICP-OES test showed the uptake of CdSe/ZnS QDs in HeLa cells was significantly higher than in ML-1 cells. Together, we conclude that high levels of toxicity in HeLa are positively correlated with the traffic rate of QDs in the treated cells.

Abstract
Understanding the exocytosis of nanoparticles (NPs) from cells is valuable because it informs design rules of NPs that support desirable cellular retention for nanomedicine applications, but investigations into the mechanism for the exocytosis of NPs remain scarce. We elucidate the mechanism for the exocytosis of dodecyl-terminated, polyethylene glycol-coated gold NPs (termed "dodecyl-PEG-AuNP"). The Au core enables ultrastructural differentiation of the exocytosed NPs from the nearby extracellular vesicles (EVs). The PEG shell prevents interparticle agglomeration or aggregation that disfavors exocytosis. The minute amounts of alkyl chains on the PEG shell not only promote cellular uptake but also improve exocytosis by up to 4-fold higher probability and upregulate exocytosis- and vesicle-related genes. After entering Kera-308 keratinocytes and trafficking to multivesicular bodies and lysosomes, these NPs exit the cell predominantly via unconventional exocytosis, accompanied by enhanced secretion of sub-100 nm, CD81-enriched exosomes. The pathway for NP exocytosis and subpopulation of EVs that are secreted alongside the exocytosed NPs depends on dodecyl loading. This work provides insights into dissecting the mechanism of NP exocytosis and its relationship with EV secretion.

Abstract
Most studies about the interaction of nanoparticles (NPs) with cells have focused on how the physicochemical properties of NPs will influence their uptake by cells. However, much less is known about their potential excretion from cells. However, to control and manipulate the number of NPs in a cell, both cellular uptake and excretion must be studied quantitatively. Monitoring the intracellular and extracellular amount of NPs over time (after residual noninternalized NPs have been removed) enables one to disentangle the influences of cell proliferation and exocytosis, the major pathways for the reduction of NPs per cell. Proliferation depends on the type of cells, while exocytosis depends in addition on properties of the NPs, such as their size. Examples are given herein on the role of these two different processes for different cells and NPs.

Abstract
The targeted and direct intracellular delivery of proteins plays critical roles in biological research and disease treatments, yet remains highly challenging. Current solutions to such a challenge are limited by the modification of proteins that may potentially alter protein functions inside cells or the lack of targeting capability. Herein, we develop a stimulus-responsive and bivalent aptamer hexahedron DNA framework (HDF) for the targeted and direct delivery of native therapeutic proteins into cancer cells. The unmodified proteins are caged inside the HDF nanostructures assembled from six programmable single stranded DNAs to protect the proteins from degradation by cathepsins and enhance their targeting capability and delivery efficiency with the nanostructure-integrated aptamers. In addition, the protein drugs can be selectively released from the HDF nanostructures by the intracellular ATP molecules to induce tumor cell apoptosis, highlighting their promising application potential for cell biology and precise protein medicines. A bivalent aptamer hexahedron DNA framework can facilitate the targeted intracellular delivery of native RNase A to result in effective cancer cell apoptosis.![]()

Abstract
With development of the nanomedicine field and increasing hazards of exposure to nanobiological materials, research on the protein corona is urgently required. In particular, the understanding of the mechanism of structural changes of protein on a nanosurface should be improved. Herein, we focus on exploring the role of ligand adsorption modes (physiosorbed citrates or chemisorbed GSH) in the regulation of conformational rearrangement of three blood proteins (serum albumin, globulin, and fibrinogen) on the surface of gold nanoparticles. Through experimental measurements, protein adsorption features (thermodynamics, kinetics, adsorption orientation, and structural changes) were estimated. Molecular dynamics simulations further indicated that physiosorbed citrates could be gradually peeled off by approaching proteins and that the bare Au surface provided a stronger interface interaction than the chemisorbed GSH layer. Protein structure rearrangements were due to the reduction in protein internal energy, with an increase in H-bond formation involving a decrease in the α-helical content and an increase in the β-sheet content, to offset the high interfacial energy. Rearrangement of protein structures could occur either intramolecularly or intermolecularly. These findings enhanced our understanding of nano-protein interaction in the biological milieu and facilitate biomedical exploration of engineered nanomaterials.

Abstract
Carbon nanodots with opposite chirality possess the same major physicochemical properties such as optical features, hydrodynamic diameter, and colloidal stability. Here, a detailed analysis about the comparison of the concentration of both carbon nanodots is carried out, putting a threshold to when differences in biological behavior may be related to chirality and may exclude effects based merely on differences in exposure concentrations due to uncertainties in concentration determination. The present study approaches this comparative analysis evaluating two basic biological phenomena, the protein adsorption and cell internalization. We find how a meticulous concentration error estimation enables the evaluation of the differences in biological effects related to chirality.

Abstract
Understanding how nano-sized objects are taken up by cells is important for applications within medicine (nanomedicine), as well as to avoid unforeseen hazard due to nanotechnology (nanosafety). Even within the same cell population, one typically observes a large cell-to-cell variability in nanoparticle uptake, raising the question of the underlying cause(s). Here we investigate cell-to-cell variability in polystyrene nanoparticle uptake by HeLa cells, with generalisations of the results to silica nanoparticles and liposomes, as well as to A549 and primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells. We show that uptake of nanoparticles is correlated with cell size within a cell population, thereby reproducing and generalising previous reports highlighting the role of cell size in nanoparticle uptake. By repeatedly isolating (using fluorescence-activated cell sorting) the cells that take up the most and least nanoparticles, respectively, and performing RNA sequencing on these cells separately, we examine the underlying gene expression that contributes to high and low polystyrene nanoparticle accumulation in HeLa cells. We can thereby show that cell size is not the sole driver of cell-to-cell variability, but that other cellular characteristics also play a role. In contrast to cell size, these characteristics are more specific to the object (nanoparticle or protein) being taken up, but are nevertheless highly heterogeneous, complicating their detailed identification. Overall, our results highlight the complexity underlying the cellular features that determine nanoparticle uptake propensity.

Abstract
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been extensively explored for extensive bioapplications, yet their cellular fate, especially exocytosis, has not been thoroughly investigated. Herein, we systematically investigated the whole cellular process from the endocytosis, intercellular trafficking, to the exocytosis of a typical QD, core/shell CdSe/ZnS QD. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry, and after carefully eliminating the effect of cell division, we found that the QDs were internalized by HeLa cells with a time-, dose-, and serum-dependent manner. The cellular uptake was inhibited by serum, but eventually peaked after 4-6 h incubation with or without serum. The primary endocytosis pathway was clathrin-mediated, and actin- and microtubule-dependent in the medium with serum, while the caveolae-mediated endocytosis and macropinocytosis were more important for the QDs in the serum-free medium. Inside cells, most QDs distributed in lysosomes, and some entered mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. The translocation of the QDs from other organelles to Golgi apparatus was observed. The exocytosis of QDs was faster than the endocytosis, reaching the maximum in about one hour after cultured in fresh culture medium, with around 60% of the internalized QDs remained undischarged. The exocytosis process was energy- and actin-dependent, and the lysosome exocytosis and endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi pathway were the main routes. This study provides a full picture of behavior and fate of QDs in cells, which may facilitate the design of ideal QDs applied in biomedical and other fields.

Abstract
Nanoparticles with ultrasmall sizes (less than 10 nm) offer many advantages in biomedical applications compared to their bigger counterparts, including better intratumoral distribution, improved pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficient body clearance. When functionalized with a biocompatible coating and a target-specific antibody, ultrasmall nanoparticles represent an attractive clinical translation platform. Although there is a tremendous body of work dedicated to PK and the biological effects of various nanoparticles, little is known about the fate of different components of functionalized nanoparticles in a biological environment such as in live cells. Here, we used luminescence properties of 5 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to study the intracellular trafficking and fate of the AuNPs functionalized with an organic layer consisting of a polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeting antibody. We showed that intracellular uptake of the targeted 5 nm AuNPs results in a strong two-photon luminescence (TPL) that is characterized by broad emission and very short lifetimes compared to the fluorescence of the nanoparticle-conjugated fluorophore-tagged antibody, thereby allowing selective imaging of these components using TPL and two-photon excited fluorescence lifetime microscopy (2P-FLIM). Our results indicate that the nanoparticle's coating is detached from the particle's surface inside cells, leading to formation of nanoparticle clusters with a strong TPL. Furthermore, we observed an optically resolved spatial separation of the gold core and the antibody coating of the particles inside cells. We used data from two-photon microscopy, 2P-FLIM, electron microscopy, and in vitro assays to propose a model of interactions of functionalized 5 nm AuNPs with live cells.

Abstract
X-ray-based analytics are routinely applied in many fields, including physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering. The full potential of such techniques in the life sciences and medicine, however, has not yet been fully exploited. We highlight current and upcoming advances in this direction. We describe different X-ray-based methodologies (including those performed at synchrotron light sources and X-ray free-electron lasers) and their potentials for application to investigate the nano-bio interface. The discussion is predominantly guided by asking how such methods could better help to understand and to improve nanoparticle-based drug delivery, though the concepts also apply to nano-bio interactions in general. We discuss current limitations and how they might be overcome, particularly for future use in vivo.

Abstract
The last decade has seen a surge of technical developments in the field on point-of-care testing (POCT). While these developments are extremely diverse, the common aim is to implement improved methods for quick, reliable and inexpensive diagnosis of patients within the clinical setting. While examples of successful introduction and use of POCT techniques are growing, further developments are still necessary to create POCT devices with better portability, usability and performance. Advances in smart materials emerge as potentially valuable know-hows to provide a competitive edge to the development of next generation POCT devices. This review describes the key advantages of adopting smart material-based technologies at different analytical stages of a POCT platform. Under these analytical stages which involves sample pre-treatment, analyte sensing and readout signal generator, several concepts and approaches from contemporary research work in using smart material-based technologies will be the major focus in this review. Lastly, challenges and potential outlook in implementing materials technologies from the application point of view for POCT will be discussed.

Toward Diffusion Measurements of Colloidal Nanoparticles in Biological Environments by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2020; 16:e2001160. [PMID: 32431081 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202001160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2020] [Revised: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/17/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Protein corona formation on the surface of nanoparticles (NPs) is observed in situ by measuring diffusion coefficients of the NPs under the presence of proteins with a 19 F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) based methodology. Formation of a protein corona reduces the diffusion coefficient of the NPs, based on an increase in their effective hydrodynamic radii. With this methodology it is demonstrated that the apparent dissociation constant of protein-NP complexes may vary over at least nine orders of magnitude for different types of proteins, in line with the Vroman effect. Using this methodology, the interaction between one type of protein and one type of nanoparticle can be studied quantitatively. Due to the NMR-based detection, this methodology has no interference by absorption/scattering effects, by which optical detection schemes are affected. By using the potential of the NMR chemical shift, the detection of multiple 19 F signals simultaneously opens the possibility to study the diffusion of several NPs at the same time. The 19 F labeling of the NPs has negligible effect on their acute toxicity and moderate effect on NPs uptake by cells.

Abstract
The nanoparticles produced by magnetotactic bacteria, called magnetosomes, are made of a magnetite core with high levels of crystallinity surrounded by a lipid bilayer. This organized structure has been developed during the course of evolution of these organisms to adapt to their specific habitat and is assumed to resist degradation and to be able to withstand the demanding biological environment. Herein, we investigated magnetosomes' structural fate upon internalization in human stem cells using magnetic and photothermal measurements, electron microscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. All measurements first converge to the demonstration that intracellular magnetosomes can experience an important biodegradation, with up to 70% of their initial content degraded, which is associated with the progressive storage of the released iron in the ferritin protein. It correlates with an extensive magnetite to ferrihydrite phase transition. The ionic species delivered by this degradation could then be used by the cells to biosynthesize magnetic nanoparticles anew. In this case, cell magnetism first decreased with magnetosomes being dissolved, but then cells remagnetized entirely, evidencing the neo-synthesis of biogenic magnetic nanoparticles. Bacteria-made biogenic magnetosomes can thus be totally remodeled by human stem cells, into human cells-made magnetic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Mycotoxins posit serious threats to human and animal health, and numerous efforts have been performed to detect the multiple toxins by a single diagnostic approach. To best of our knowledge, for the first time, we synthesized an aptamer induced "turn on" fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor using dual-color gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), l-proline, and BSA synthesized AuNCs (Lp-AuNCs and BSA-AuNCs), with WS2 nanosheet for simultaneous recognition of aflatoxinB1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN) by single excitation. Here, AFB1 aptamer stabilized blue-emitting AuNCs (AFB1-apt-Lp-AuNCs) (at 442 nm) and ZEN aptamer functionalized with red-colored AuNCs (ZEN-apt-BSA-AuNCs) (at 650 nm) were employed as an energy donor and WS2 nanosheet as a fluorescence quencher. With the addition of AFB1 and ZEN, the change in fluorescence intensity (F.I) was recorded at 442 and 650 nm and can be used for simultaneous recognition with a detection limit of 0.34 pg mL-1 (R2 = 0.9931) and 0.53 pg mL-1 (R2 = 0.9934), respectively. Most importantly, the semiquantitative determination of AFB1 and ZEN can also be realized through photovisualization. The current approach paves a new way to develop sensitive, selective, and convenient metal nanocluster-based fluorescent "switch-on" probes with potential applications in multipurpose biosensing.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was the assembly of multicomponent nano-bioconjugates based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), proteins (bovine serum albumin, BSA, or lysozyme, LYZ), and gold nanoparticles (GNPs). These nano-bioconjugates may find applications in nanomedicine as theranostic devices. Indeed, MSNs can act as drug carriers, proteins stabilize MSNs within the bloodstream, or may have therapeutic or targeting functions. Finally, GNPs can either be used as contrast agents for imaging or for photothermal therapy. Here, amino-functionalized MSNs (MSN-NH2) were synthesized and characterized through various techniques (small angle X-rays scattering TEM, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)). BSA or lysozyme were then grafted on the external surface of MSN-NH2 to obtain MSN-BSA and MSN-LYZ bioconjugates, respectively. Protein immobilization on MSNs surface was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ζ-potential measurements, and TGA, which also allowed the estimation of protein loading. The MSN-protein samples were then dispersed in a GNP solution to obtain MSN-protein-GNPs nano-bioconjugates. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed the occurrence of GNPs on the MSN-protein surface, whereas almost no GNPs occurred in the protein-free control samples. Fluorescence and Raman spectroscopies suggested that proteins-GNP interactions involve tryptophan residues.
