Physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for predicting the biodistribution of albumin nanoparticles after induction and recovery from acute lung injury. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30962. [PMID: 38803942 PMCID: PMC11128879 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
The application of nanomedicine in the treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) has great potential for the development of new therapeutic strategies. To gain insight into the kinetics of nanocarrier distribution upon time-dependent changes in tissue permeability after ALI induction in mice, we developed a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for albumin nanoparticles (ANP). The model was calibrated using data from mice treated with intraperitoneal LPS (6 mg/kg), followed by intravenous ANP (0.5 mg/mouse or about 20.8 mg/kg) at 0.5, 6, and 24 h. The simulation results reproduced the experimental observations and indicated that the accumulation of ANP in the lungs increased, reaching a peak 6 h after LPS injury, whereas it decreased in the liver, kidney, and spleen. The model predicted that LPS caused an immediate (within the first 30 min) dramatic increase in lung and kidney tissue permeability, whereas splenic tissue permeability gradually increased over 24 h after LPS injection. This information can be used to design new therapies targeting specific organs affected by bacterial infections and potentially by other inflammatory insults.

Abstract
Genome-wide CRISPR screens have provided a systematic way to identify essential genetic regulators of a phenotype of interest with single-cell resolution. However, most screens use live/dead readout of viability to identify factors of interest. Here, we describe an approach that converts cell proliferation into the degree of magnetization, enabling downstream microfluidic magnetic sorting to be performed. We performed a head-to-head comparison and verified that the magnetic workflow can identify the same hits from a traditional screen while reducing the screening period from 4 weeks to 1 week. Taking advantage of parallelization and performance, we screened multiple mesenchymal cancer cell lines for their dependency on cell proliferation. We found and validated pan- and cell-specific potential therapeutic targets. The method presented provides a nanoparticle-enabled approach means to increase the breadth of data collected in CRISPR screens, enabling the rapid discovery of drug targets for treatment.

Abstract
Nanoplastics and microplastics (MPs) can significantly affect marine ecosystems and pose potential risks to human health. Although adverse effects stemming from direct exposure to MPs have been demonstrated at the cellular level in animal models, the potential toxicity of these materials in the human body remains uncertain. In this study, we investigated the three-dimensional (3D) behavior of dermal-derived cells exposed to MPs using artificially manufactured spherical primary polystyrene (PS) particles. To explore these effects, we used cellular spheroids as a 3D cell culture model, examined the size-dependent penetration of PS-MPs, and observed morphological alterations in the spheroids. Furthermore, we assessed changes in physiological activities, including reactive oxygen species, adenosine triphosphate, and lactate dehydrogenase, to elucidate the potential intra- and extracellular toxic reactions to PS-MPs. Additionally, our examination of cell-cell junctions and the extracellular matrix (ECM), along with analysis of the regulators involved in their decreased integrity, revealed negatively influenced changes in expression. This exposure study using spheroid models provides new insights into the potential toxicity of short-term exposure to MPs under conditions that closely resemble in vivo systems.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based cardiac patches are envisioned to be a promising treatment option for patients with myocardial infarction. However, their therapeutic efficacy and duration are hampered due to their limited retention on the epicardium. We engineered a scaffold-free MSC sheet with an inherent ability to migrate into the infarcted myocardium, a strategy enabled by actively establishing a sustained intracellular hypoxic environment through the endocytosis of our FDA-approved ferumoxytol. This iron oxide nanoparticle stabilized hypoxia-induced factor-1α, triggering upregulation of the CXC chemokine receptor and subsequent MSC chemotaxis. Thus, MSCs integrated into 2/3 depth of the left ventricular anterior wall in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction and persisted for at least 28 days. This led to spatiotemporal delivery of paracrine factors by MSCs, enhancing cardiac regeneration and function. Ferumoxytol also facilitated the noninvasive MRI tracking of implanted MSCs. Our approach introduces a strategy for mobilizing MSC migration, holding promise for rapid clinical translation in myocardial infarction treatment.

J Exp Clin Cancer Res 2024; 43:11. [PMID: 38173001 PMCID: PMC10762921 DOI: 10.1186/s13046-023-02938-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Radiotherapy-activated NBTXR3 (NBTXR3 + RT) has demonstrated superior efficacy in cancer cell destruction and tumor growth control, compared to radiotherapy (RT), in preclinical and clinical settings. Previous studies highlighted the immunomodulatory properties of NBTXR3 + RT, such as modification of tumor cell immunogenicity/adjuvanticity, producing an effective local tumor control and abscopal effect, related to an enhanced antitumor immune response. Furthermore, NBTXR3 + RT has shown potential in restoring anti-PD1 efficacy in a refractory tumor model. However, the early events leading to these results, such as NBTXR3 endocytosis, intracellular trafficking and primary biological responses induced by NBTXR3 + RT remain poorly understood. METHODS We analyzed by transmission electron microscopy endocytosis and intracellular localization of NBTXR3 nanoparticles after endocytosis in various cell lines, in vitro and in vivo. A kinetic of NBTXR3 endocytosis and its impact on lysosomes was conducted using LysoTracker staining, and a RNAseq analysis was performed. We investigated the ability of NBTXR3 + RT to induce lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and ferroptosis by analyzing lipid peroxidation. Additionally, we evaluated the recapture by cancer cells of NBTXR3 released from dead cells. RESULTS NBTXR3 nanoparticles were rapidly internalized by cells mainly through macropinocytosis and in a less extend by clathrin-dependent endocytosis. NBTXR3-containing endosomes were then fused with lysosomes. The day following NBTXR3 addition, we measured a significant increase in LysoTracker lysosome labeling intensity, in vitro as in vivo. Following RT, a significant lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) was measured exclusively in cells treated with NBTXR3 + RT, while RT had no effect. The day post-irradiation, a significant increase in lipid peroxidation, a biomarker of ferroptosis, was measured with NBTXR3 + RT compared to RT. Moreover, we demonstrated that NBTXR3 nanoparticles released from dead cells can be recaptured by cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide novel insights into the early and specific biological effects induced by NBTXR3 + RT, especially LMP, not induced by RT in our models. The subsequent significant increase in lipid peroxidation partially explains the enhanced cancer cell killing capacity of NBTXR3 + RT compared to RT, potentially by promoting ferroptosis. This study improves our understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying NBTXR3 + RT and highlights its potential as an agnostic therapeutic strategy for solid cancers treatment.

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
As both electron donors and acceptors, biochars (BCs) may interact with multivalent metal ions in the environment, causing changes in ionic valence states and resulting in unknown combined toxicity. Therefore, we systematically investigated the interaction between BCs and Cr (Cr(III) & Cr(VI)) or As (As(III) & As(V)) and their combined cytotoxicity in human colorectal mucosal (FHC) cells. Our results suggest that the redox-induced valence state change is a critical factor in the combined cytotoxicity of BCs with Cr/As. Specifically, when Cr(VI) was adsorbed on BCs, 86.4 % of Cr(VI) was reduced to Cr(III). In contrast, As(III) was partially oxidized to As(V) with a ratio of 37.2 %, thus reaching a reaction equilibrium. Meanwhile, only As(V) was released in the cell, which could cause more As(III) to be oxidized. As both Cr(III) and As(V) are less toxic than their corresponding counterparts Cr(VI) and As(III), different redox interactions between BCs and Cr/As and release profiles between BCs and Cr/As together lead to reduced combined cytotoxicity of BP-BC-Cr(VI) and BP-BC-As(III). It suggests that the valence state changes of metal ions due to redox effects is one of the parameters to be focused on when studying the combined toxicity of complexes of BCs with different heavy metal ions.

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
Understanding the interplay between nanoparticles (NPs) and cells is essential to designing more efficient nanomedicines. Previous research has shown the role of the cell cycle having impact on the efficiency of cellular uptake and accumulation of NPs. However, there is a limited investigation into the biological fate of NPs in cells that are permanently withdrawn from the cell cycle. Here we utilize senescent WI-38 fibroblasts, which do not divide and provide a definitive model for tracking the biological fate of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) independent of cell cycle. We use several methods to measure the cellular uptake kinetics and intracellular retention of SiNPs, including confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), flow cytometry, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We demonstrate that SiNPs readily enter into senescent cells. Once internalized, SiNPs do not exit and accumulate in the cytoplasm for long term. Our study provides a basis for future development of NP-based tools that can detect and target senescent cells for therapy.

Abstract
The diverse applications of porphyrin-based nano-sized metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) lead to great exposure risks to human and environment. Understanding the cellular biological effects (such as toxicity, distribution, and localization) of porphyrinic NMOFs is a prerequisite to the assessment of their health risk. However, the characteristics of distribution, localization, and immune response induced by porphyrinic NMOFs have not been studied yet. Here, we report the size-dependent biological effects of porphyrinic NMOFs under sublethal dose. Various sizes of PCN-224 (30, 90, and 180 nm) were taken as model porphyrinic NMOFs. We found that 30 nm PCN-224 gave the highest uptake content, followed by 90 and 180 nm PCN-224. The mechanism for uptake was clathrin-mediated for 30 and 90 nm PCN-224, but clathrin- and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-mediated for 180 nm PCN-224. All PCN-224 were localized in lysosome with size-dependent velocity of colocalization transport. 30 nm PCN-224 induced the highest released cytokines than 90 and 180 nm PCN-224 accompanied with the activation of NF-κB pathway. This work reveals the mechanisms for the endocytosis of PCN-224 and the release of cytokine induced by PCN-224, which is helpful for the health risk assessment of NMOFs.

Abstract
Background In the field of nanoscience there is an increasing interest to follow dynamics of nanoparticles (NP) in cells with an emphasis on endo-lysosomal pathways and long-term NP fate. During our research on this topic, we encountered several pitfalls, which can bias the experimental outcome. We address some of these pitfalls and suggest possible solutions. The accuracy of fluorescence microscopy methods has an important role in obtaining insights into NP interactions with lysosomes at the single cell level including quantification of NP uptake in a specific cell type. Methods Here we use J774A.1 cells as a model for professional phagocytes. We expose them to fluorescently-labelled amorphous silica NP with different sizes and quantify the colocalization of fluorescently-labelled NP with lysosomes over time. We focus on confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to obtain 3D spatial information and follow live cell imaging to study NP colocalization with lysosomes. Results We evaluate different experimental parameters that can bias the colocalization coefficients (i.e., Pearson’s and Manders’), such as the interference of phenol red in the cell culture medium with the fluorescence intensity and image post-processing (effect of spatial resolution, optical slice thickness, pixel saturation and bit depth). Additionally, we determine the correlation coefficients for NP entering the lysosomes under four different experimental set-ups. First, we found out that not only Pearson’s, but also Manders’ correlation coefficient should be considered in lysosome-NP colocalization studies; second, there is a difference in NP colocalization when using NP of different sizes and fluorescence dyes and last, the correlation coefficients might change depending on live-cell and fixed-cell imaging set-up. Conclusions The results summarize detailed steps and recommendations for the experimental design, staining, sample preparation and imaging to improve the reproducibility of colocalization studies between the NP and lysosomes.

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
Generation of amplified stimulated emission inside mammalian cells has paved the way for a novel bioimaging and cell sensing approach. Single cells carrying gain media (e.g., fluorescent molecules) are placed inside an optical cavity, allowing the production of intracellular laser emission upon sufficient optical pumping. Here, we investigate the possibility to trigger another amplified emission phenomenon (i.e., amplified spontaneous emission or ASE) inside two different cell types, namely macrophage and epithelial cells from different species and tissues, in the presence of a poorly reflecting cavity. Furthermore, the resulting ASE properties can be enhanced by introducing plasmonic nanoparticles. The presence of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in rhodamine 6G-labeled A549 epithelial cells results in higher intensity and lowered ASE threshold in comparison to cells without nanoparticles, due to the effect of plasmonic field enhancement. An increase in intracellular concentration of AuNPs in rhodamine 6G-labeled macrophages is, however, responsible for the twofold increase in the ASE threshold and a reduction in the ASE intensity, dominantly due to a suppressed in and out-coupling of light at high nanoparticle concentrations.

Abstract
Understanding the cellular uptake and exocytosis processes of nanoparticles (NPs) is essential for developing the nanomedicines and assessing the health risk of nanomaterials. Considerable efforts have been made to reveal how physicochemical properties of NPs influence these processes. However, little attention has been paid to how cell type impacts these processes, especially exocytosis. Herein, the uptake and exocytosis of the carbon dots (CDs) obtained from the carbonization of citric acid with polyethylenimine (PEI) oligomers (CDs-PEI) in five human cell lines (HeLa, A549, BEAS-2B, A431, and MDA-MB-468) are analyzed to understand how cell type influences the fate of CDs in cells. The cell division is taken into account by the correction of cell number for accurate quantification of the uptake and exocytosis of CDs-PEI. The results indicate that the cell type significantly affects the cellular uptake, trafficking, and exocytosis of CDs-PEI. Among the cell types investigated, MDA-MB-468 cells have the greatest capacity for both uptake and exocytosis, and HeLa cells have the least capacity. The kinetics of the exocytosis largely follows a single exponential decay function, with the remaining CDs-PEI in cells reaching plateaus within 24 h. The kinetic parameters are cell-dependent but insensitive to the initial intracellular CDs-PEI content. Generally, the Golgi apparatus pathways are more important in exocytosis than the lysosomal pathway, and the locations of CDs-PEI in the beginning of exocytosis are not correlated with their exocytosis pathways. The findings on the cell type-dependent cellular uptake and exocytosis reported here may be valuable to the future design of high-performance and safe CDs and related nanomaterials in general.

Abstract
Precise subcellular manipulation remains challenging in quantitative biological studies. After target modification and hierarchical assembly, nanoparticles can be functionalized for intracellular investigation. However, it remains unclear whether nanoparticles themselves can progressively manipulate subcellular processes, especially organellar networks. Mitochondria act as the energetic supply, whose fission dynamics are often modulated by molecular reagents. Here, using different-sized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as a model, we demonstrated the nanoparticle-driven controllable regulation on mitochondria. Compared with molecular reagents, AuNPs could induce size-dependent mitochondrial fission without detectable cell injury, and this process was reversible along with intracellular AuNPs' clearance. Mechanistically, it was attributed to the AuNPs-induced enhanced organelle interactome between lysosomes and mitochondria. Lysosomal accumulation of AuNPs induced lysosomal swelling and lysosomal motility alterations, promoting mitochondrial fission through the increased "kiss" events during the "kiss-and-run" moving of the lysosome-mitochondria interactome. This study highlights the fundamental understanding to fully explore the intrinsic capability of nanoparticles by engineering their basic properties. Also, it provides practical guidance to investigate the delicate nanolevel regulation on biological processes.

Abstract
Pigments are among the oldest nanoparticulate products known to mankind, and their use in tattoos is also very old. Nowadays, 25% of American people aged 18 to 50 are tattooed, which poses the question of the delayed effects of tattoos. In this article, we investigated three cobalt [Pigment Violet 14 (purple color)] or cobalt alloy pigments [Pigment Blue 28 (blue color), Pigment Green 14 (green color)], and one zinc pigment [Pigment White 4 (white color)] which constitute a wide range of colors found in tattoos. These pigments contain microparticles and a significant proportion of submicroparticles or nanoparticles (in either aggregate or free form). Because of the key role of macrophages in the scavenging of particulate materials, we tested the effects of cobalt- and zinc-based pigments on the J774A.1 macrophage cell line. In order to detect delayed effects, we compared two exposure schemes: acute exposure for 24 hours and an exposure for 24 hours followed by a 3-day post-exposure recovery period. The conjunction of these two schemes allowed for the investigation of the delayed or sustained effects of pigments. All pigments induced functional effects on macrophages, most of which were pigment-dependent. For example, Pigment Green 19, Pigment Blue 28, and Pigment White 4 showed a delayed alteration of the phagocytic capacity of cells. Moreover, all the pigments tested induced a slight but significant increase in tumor necrosis factor secretion. This effect, however, was transitory. Conversely, only Pigment Blue 28 induced both a short and sustained increase in interleukin 6 secretion. Results showed that in response to bacterial stimuli (LPS), the secretion of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 6 declined after exposure to pigments followed by a recovery period. For chemoattractant cytokines (MCP-1 or MIP-1α), delayed effects were observed with a secretion decreased in presence of Pigment Blue 28 and Pigment violet 14, both with or without LPS stimuli. The pigments also induced persisting changes in some important macrophage membrane markers such as CD11b, an integrin contributing to cell adhesion and immunological tolerance. In conclusion, the pigments induced functional disorders in macrophages, which, in some cases, persist long after exposure, even at non-toxic doses.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-encoded nanoparticles are used for bioimaging, on account of their well-defined Raman spectra and biocompatibility, which allow long incubation times with high signal stability and no cytotoxicity. However, reliable analysis of SERS bioimaging requires quantification of the amount of encoded nanoparticles that have been taken up by cells and the effect of subsequent dilution due to cellular division (mitosis). Although methods such as elemental analysis and flow cytometry can be used to quantify nanoparticle uptake, these are both end-point measurements in which a cell population is screened rather than looking at individual cells. In contrast, SERS imaging can be applied at multiple timepoints to the same individual cells without damaging the biological sample. We present the application of both supervised and unsupervised multivariate analyses, to quantify the intracellular amount of SERS tags in individual MCF7 living cells, toward the characterization of cellular uptake in vitro. The obtained results from both methodologies were validated by standard elemental analysis techniques.

Liu J, Che X, Huang X, Mo Y, Wen Y, Jia J, Zhou H, Yan B. The interaction between biochars from distinct pyrolysis temperatures and multiple pollutants determines their combined cytotoxicity. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 296:133999. [PMID: 35182534 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.133999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Revised: 02/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Biochar (BC) has been widely used for soil remediation and pollutant removal from environmental water. The pollutant-adsorbing BC often exerts different cytotoxicity from pollutant-free BC. However, how adsorption of multiple pollutants alters the cytotoxicity of BC and how to modulate such toxicity are still unclear. By preparing BCs from two different materials (Banana peel (BP) and corn stalk (CS)) at two pyrolysis temperatures (300 °C and 500 °C, namely BP300-BC, BP500-BC, CS300-BC, and CS500-BC, respectively), we systemically investigated factors that affect the combined cytotoxicity of pollutant-adsorbing BC in Human normal rectal mucosal cells (FHC). The reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) occurred on BC, in particular on BC prepared at 300 °C, in which larger amount of organic matters were left. The presence of Cu(II) promoted the release of Cr from BC once entering cells, which was more obvious for BC prepared at 500 °C. The changes in valence states and release rates of Cr adsorbed on BC prepared at different pyrolysis temperatures together caused reduced cytotoxicity of BP300-BC-Cr-Cu but enhanced cytotoxicity of BP500-BC-Cr-Cu, compared to the same amount of mixture of Cr(VI)-Cu(II). Our findings offer insight understanding of how pyrolysis temperature and the adsorbed multiple pollutants affect the combined cytotoxicity of BC-pollutant complex, allowing for safe applications of BC in future.

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.

Cellular Uptake of Silica and Gold Nanoparticles Induces Early Activation of Nuclear Receptor NR4A1. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12040690.

Abstract
The approval of new nanomedicines requires a deeper understanding of the interaction between cells and nanoparticles (NPs). Silica (SiO2) and gold (Au) NPs have shown great potential in biomedical applications, such as the delivery of therapeutic agents, diagnostics, and biosensors. NP-cell interaction and internalization can trigger several cellular responses, including gene expression regulation. The identification of differentially expressed genes in response to NP uptake contributes to a better understanding of the cellular processes involved, including potential side effects. We investigated gene regulation in human macrophages and lung epithelial cells after acute exposure to spherical 60 nm SiO2 NPs. SiO2 NPs uptake did not considerably affect gene expression in epithelial cells, whereas five genes were up-regulated in macrophages. These genes are principally related to inflammation, chemotaxis, and cell adhesion. Nuclear receptor NR4A1, an important modulator of inflammation in macrophages, was found to be up-regulated. The expression of this gene was also increased upon 1 h of macrophage exposure to spherical 50 nm AuNPs and 200 nm spherical SiO2 NPs. NR4A1 can thus be an important immediate regulator of inflammation provoked by NP uptake in macrophages.

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
Engineered nanocarriers have great potential to deliver different genetic cargos to plant cells and increase the efficiency of plant genetic engineering. Genetic engineering has improved the quality and quantity of crops by introducing desired DNA sequences into the plant genome. Traditional transformation strategies face constraints such as low transformation efficiency, damage to plant tissues, and genotype dependency. Smart nanovehicle-based delivery is a newly emerged method for direct DNA delivery to plant genomes. The basis of this new approach of plant genetic transformation, nanomaterial-mediated gene delivery, is the appropriate protection of transferred DNA from the nucleases present in the cell cytoplasm through the nanocarriers. The conjugation of desired nucleic acids with engineered nanocarriers can solve the problem of genetic manipulation in some valuable recalcitrant plant genotypes. Combining nano-enabled genetic transformation with the new and powerful technique of targeted genome editing, CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), can create new protocols for efficient improvement of desired plants. Silica-based nanoporous materials, especially mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), are currently regarded as exciting nanoscale platforms for genetic engineering as they possess several useful properties including ordered and porous structure, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and surface chemistry. These specific features have made MSNs promising candidates for the design of smart, controlled, and targeted delivery systems in agricultural sciences. In the present review, we discuss the usability, challenges, and opportunities for possible application of nano-enabled biomolecule transformation as part of innovative approaches for target delivery of genes of interest into plants.

Abstract
As the wide application of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs), as well as ubiquitous chromium (Cr(VI)) pollution in environment, the chance of human exposure to CNPs/ZnONPs and their Cr(VI) adducts is enhanced. We therefore investigated the impacts of nano-cell and nano-Cr(VI) interactions on nanoparticle-Cr(VI) combined cytotoxicity in human lung epithelial (A549) cells. Our results showed that nano-cell and nano-pollutant interactions were the key elements in NP-pollutant combined cytotoxicity, as determined by cell death, oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. A strong adsorption of Cr(VI) on CNPs and reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) were confirmed, resulting in the reduced cytotoxicity of CNP-Cr(VI) adducts. In contrast, ZnONPs caused the destruction of cell membranes so that more ZnONP-Cr(VI) adducts could enter the cells. Meantime, more Cr contents could be released from ZnONP-Cr(VI) adducts once entering cells and locating in lysosomes than that from CNP-Cr(VI) adducts. These two reasons together caused the enhanced cytotoxicity of ZnONP-Cr(VI) adducts. These findings indicate that the in-depth investigations on the interaction mechanisms are crucial to comprehensively understand the combined cytotoxicity of different NPs and pollutants.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted considerable attention in various fields, such as cosmetics, the food industry, material design, and nanomedicine. In particular, the fast-moving field of nanomedicine takes advantage of features of NPs for the detection and treatment of different types of cancer, fibrosis, inflammation, arthritis as well as neurodegenerative and gastrointestinal diseases. To this end, a detailed understanding of the NP uptake mechanisms by cells and intracellular localization is essential for safe and efficient therapeutic applications. In the first part of this review, we describe the several endocytic pathways involved in the internalization of NPs and we discuss the impact of the physicochemical properties of NPs on this process. In addition, the potential challenges of using various inhibitors, endocytic markers and genetic approaches to study endocytosis are addressed along with the principal (semi) quantification methods of NP uptake. The second part focuses on synthetic and bio-inspired substances, which can stimulate or decrease the cellular uptake of NPs. This approach could be interesting in nanomedicine where a high accumulation of drugs in the target cells is desirable and clearance by immune cells is to be avoided. This review contributes to an improved understanding of NP endocytic pathways and reveals potential substances, which can be used in nanomedicine to improve NP delivery.

Abstract
The development of molecular nanostructures with well-defined particle size and shape is of eminent interest in biomedicine. Among many studied nanostructures, dendrimers represent the group of those most thoroughly characterized ones. Due to their unique structure and properties, dendrimers are very attractive for medical and pharmaceutical applications. Owing to the controllable cavities inside the dendrimer, guest molecules may be encapsulated, and highly reactive terminal groups are susceptible to further modifications, e.g., to facilitate target delivery. To understand the potential of these nanoparticles and to predict and avoid any adverse cellular reactions, it is necessary to know the mechanisms responsible for an efficient dendrimer uptake and the destination of their intracellular journey. In this article, we summarize the results of studies describing the dendrimer uptake, traffic, and efflux mechanisms depending on features of specific nanoparticles and cell types. We also present mechanisms of dendrimers responsible for toxicity and alteration in signal transduction pathways at the cellular level.

Abstract
Cancer cells generally exhibit higher metabolic demands relative to that of normal tissue cells. This offers great possibilities to exploit metabolic glycoengineering in combination with bio-orthogonal chemistry reactions to achieve tumour site-targeted therapeutic delivery. This work addresses the selectivity of metabolic glycan labelling in diseased (i.e., cancer) versus normal cells grown in a multicellular environment. Dibenzocylooctyne (DBCO)-bearing acetylated-d-mannosamine (Ac4ManNDBCO) was synthesised to metabolically label three different types of cell lines originating from the human lung tissues: A549 adenocarcinomic alveolar basal epithelial cells, MeT5A non-cancerous mesothelial cells, and MRC5 non-cancerous fibroblasts. These cell lines displayed different labelling sensitivity, which trended with their doubling time in the following order: A549 ≈ MeT5A > MRC5. The higher metabolic labelling efficiency inherently led to a higher extent of specific binding and accumulation of the clickable N3-conjugated gold nanoparticles (N3-AuNps, core diameter = 30 nm) in the DBCO-glycan modified A549 and MeT5A cells, but to a less prominent effect in MRC5 cells. These findings demonstrate that relative rates of cell metabolism can be exploited using metabolic labelling to recruit nanotherapeutics whilst minimising non-specific targeting of surrounding tissues.

Abstract
Precise quantification of intracellular iron contents is important to biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles. Current approaches for iron quantification rely on specialized instruments while most only yield iron quantities averaged over plenty of cells. Here, a simple and robust approach, combining digital optical microscopy with the Beer-Lambert's law, that allows for imaging stainable iron distribution in individual cells and the quantification of stainable iron contents with an unprecedented accuracy of femtogram per pixel, is presented. It is further shown that this approach enables studying of the internalization and reduction dynamics of super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) by stem cells in single cell level.

Several previous studies have shown that when a cell that has taken up nanoparticles divides, the nanoparticles are inherited by the two daughter cells in an asymmetrical fashion, with one daughter cell receiving more nanoparticles than the other. This interesting observation is typically demonstrated either indirectly using mathematical modelling of high-throughput experimental data or more directly by imaging individual cells as they divide. Here we suggest that measurements of the coefficient of variation (standard deviation over mean) of the number of nanoparticles per cell over the cell population is another means of assessing the degree of asymmetry. Using simulations of an evolving cell population, we show that the coefficient of variation is sensitive to the degree of asymmetry and note its characteristic evolution in time. As the coefficient of variation is readily measurable using high-throughput techniques, this should allow a more rapid experimental assessment of the degree of asymmetry.

Towards bio-compatible magnetic nanoparticles: Immune-related effects, in-vitro internalization, and in-vivo bio-distribution of zwitterionic ferrite nanoparticles with unexpected renal clearance. J Colloid Interface Sci 2020; 582:678-700.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Iron oxide and other ferrite nanoparticles have not yet found widespread application in the medical field since the translation process faces several big hurdles. The incomplete knowledge of the interactions between nanoparticles and living organisms is an unfavorable factor. This complex subject should be made simpler by synthesizing magnetic nanoparticles with good physical (relaxivity) and chemical (colloidal stability, anti-fouling) properties and no biological activity (no immune-related effects, minimal internalization, fast clearance). Such an innocent scaffold is the main aim of the present paper. We systematically searched for it within the class of small-to-medium size ferrite nanoparticles coated by small (zwitter)ionic ligands. Once established, it can be functionalized to achieve targeting, drug delivery, etc. and the observed biological effects will be traced back to the functional molecules only, as the nanosized scaffold is innocent. EXPERIMENTS We synthesized nine types of magnetic nanoparticles by systematic variation of core composition, size, coating. We investigated their physico-chemical properties and interaction with serum proteins, phagocytic microglial cells, and a human model of inflammation and studied their biodistribution and clearance in healthy mice. The nanoparticles have good magnetic properties and their surface charge is determined by the preferential adsorption of anions. All nanoparticle types can be considered as immunologically safe, an indispensable pre-requisite for medical applications in humans. All but one type display low internalization by microglial BV2 cells, a process strongly affected by the nanoparticle size. Both small (3 nm) and medium size (11 nm) zwitterionic nanoparticles are in part captured by the mononuclear phagocyte system (liver and spleen) and in part rapidly (≈1 h) excreted through the urinary system of mice. FINDINGS The latter result questions the universality of the accepted size threshold for the renal clearance of nanoparticles (5.5 nm). We suggest that it depends on the nature of the circulating particles. Renal filterability of medium-size magnetic nanoparticles is appealing because they share with small nanoparticles the decreased accumulation-related toxicity while performing better as magnetic diagnostic/therapeutic agents thanks to their larger magnetic moment. In conclusion, many of our nanoparticle types are a bio-compatible innocent scaffold with unexpectedly favorable clearance.

Abstract
Development of nanotechnology has become prominent in many fields, such as medicine, electronics, production of materials, and modern drugs. Nanomaterials and nanoparticles have gained recognition owing to the unique biochemical and physical properties. Considering cellular application, it is speculated that nanoparticles can transfer through cell membranes following different routes exclusively owing to their size (up to 100 nm) and surface functionalities. Nanoparticles have capacity to enter cells by themselves but also to carry other molecules through the lipid bilayer. This quality has been utilized in cellular delivery of substances like small chemical drugs or nucleic acids. Different nanoparticles including lipids, silica, and metal nanoparticles have been exploited in conjugation with nucleic acids. However, the noble metal nanoparticles create an alternative, out of which gold nanoparticles (AuNP) are the most common. The hybrids of DNA or RNA and metal nanoparticles can be employed for functional assemblies for variety of applications in medicine, diagnostics or nano-electronics by means of biomarkers, specific imaging probes, or gene expression regulatory function. In this review, we focus on the conjugates of gold nanoparticles and nucleic acids in the view of their potential application for cellular delivery and biomedicine. This review covers the current advances in the nanotechnology of DNA and RNA-AuNP conjugates and their potential applications. We emphasize the crucial role of metal nanoparticles in the nanotechnology of nucleic acids and explore the role of such conjugates in the biological systems. Finally, mechanisms guiding the process of cellular intake, essential for delivery of modern therapeutics, will be discussed.
