A Nanoplasmonic Assay for Point-of-Care Detection of Mannose-Binding Lectin in Human Serum. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:30556-30566. [PMID: 38806166 PMCID: PMC11181273 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c04018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) activates the complement system lectin pathway and subsequent inflammatory mechanisms. The incidence and outcome of many human diseases, such as brain ischemia and infections, are associated with and influenced by the activity and serum concentrations of MBL in body fluids. To quantify MBL levels, tests based on ELISA are used, requiring several incubation and washing steps and lengthy turnaround times. Here, we aimed to develop a nanoplasmonic assay for direct MBL detection in human serum at the point of care. Our assay is based on gold nanorods (GNRs) functionalized with mannose (Man-GNRs) via an amphiphilic linker. We experimentally determined the effective amount of sugar linked to the nanorods' surface, resulting in an approximate grafting density of 4 molecules per nm2, and an average number of 11 to 13 MBL molecules binding to a single nanoparticle. The optimal Man-GNRs concentration to achieve the highest sensitivity in MBL detection was 15 μg·mL-1. The specificity of the assay for MBL detection both in simple buffer and in complex pooled human sera was confirmed. Our label-free biosensor is able to detect MBL concentrations as low as 160 ng·mL-1 within 15 min directly in human serum via a one-step reaction and by using a microplate reader. Hence, it forms the basis for a fast, noninvasive, point-of-care assay for diagnostic indications and monitoring of disease and therapy.

Abstract
There has been much interest in integrating various inorganic nanoparticles (nanoscale colloids) in biology and medicine. However, buildup of a protein corona around the nanoparticles in biological media, driven by nonspecific interactions, remains a major hurdle for the translation of nanomedicine into clinical applications. In this study, we investigate the interactions between gold nanoparticles and serum proteins using a series of dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA)-based ligands. We employed gel electrophoresis combined with UV-vis absorption and dynamic light scattering to correlate protein adsorption with the nature and size of the ligand used. For instance, we found that AuNPs capped with DHLA alone promote nonspecific protein adsorption. In comparison, capping AuNPs with polyethylene glycol- or zwitterion-appended DHLA essentially prevents corona formation, regardless of ligand charge and size. Our results highlight the crucial role of surface chemistry and core material in protein corona formation and offer valuable information for the design of colloidal nanomaterials for biological applications.

Abstract
Conventional gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have many limitations, such as aggregation and subsequent precipitation in the medium of high ionic strength and protein molecules. Furthermore, when exposed to biological fluids, nanoparticles form a protein corona, which controls different biological processes such as the circulation lifetime, drug release profile, biodistribution, and in vivo cellular distribution. These limitations reduce the functionality of Au NPs in targeted delivery, bioimaging, gene delivery, drug delivery, and other biomedical applications. To circumvent these problems, there are numerous attempts to design corona-free and stable nanoparticles. Here, we report for the first time that lipid corona (coating of lipid) formation on phenylalanine-functionalized Au NPs (AuPhe NPs) imparts excellent stability against the high ionic strength of bivalent metal ions, amino acids, and proteins of different charges as compared to bare nanoparticles. Moreover, this work is focused on the ability of lipid corona formation on AuPhe NPs to prevent protein adsorption in the presence of cell culture medium (CCM), oppositely charged protein (e.g., histone 3), and human serum albumin (HSA). The results demonstrate that the lipid corona successfully protects the AuPhe NPs from protein adsorption, leading to the development of corona-free character. This unique achievement has profound implications for enhancing the biomedical utility and safety of these nanoparticles.

Abstract
Polymer-based nanomaterials have exhibited promising alternative avenues to combat the globe challenge of multidrug-resistant bacterial infection. However, most of the reported polymeric nanomaterials have facially linear amphiphilic structures with positive net charges, which may lead to nonspecific binding, high hemolysis, and uncontrollable self-organization, limiting their practical applications. In this contribution, we report a one-dimensional glyconanorod (GNR) through self-assembly of well-defined β-cyclodextrin-based glycoconjugates (RMan) featuring hydrophobic carbon-based chains and amide rhodamines with an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-recognition site and targeted and hydrophilic mannoses and positively net-charged ethylene amine groups. The GNRs show superior targeting sensing and killing for Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) dominantly through the multivalent recognition between mannoses on the nanorod and the lectin on the surface of E. coli. Moreover, red fluorescence was light on due to the hydrogen bonding between amide rhodamine and ATP. Benefiting from the designs, the GNRs are capable of possessing a higher therapeutic index and of encapsulating other antibiotics. They exhibit an enhanced effect against E. coli strains. Intriguingly, the GNRs displayed a more reduced hemolysis effect and lower cytotoxicity compared to that of ethylene glyco-modified nanorods. These results reveal that the glyconanomaterials not only feature superior and targeted bacterial sensing and antibacterial activity, but also better biocompatibility compared with the widely used PEG-covered nanomaterials. Furthermore, the in vivo studies demonstrate that the targeted and ATP-responsive GNRs complexed with antibiotics showed better treatment using a mouse model of abdominal sepsis following intraperitoneal E. coli infection. The present work describes a targeted and effective sensing and antibacterial platform based on glycoconjugates that have potential applications for the treatment of infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
Human lectins are involved in a wide variety of biological processes, both physiological and pathological, which have attracted the interest of the scientific community working in the glycoscience field. Multivalent glycosystems have been employed as useful tools to understand carbohydrate-lectin binding processes as well as for biomedical applications. The review shows the different scaffolds designed for a multivalent presentation of sugars and their corresponding binding studies to lectins and in some cases, their biological activities. We summarise this research by organizing based on lectin types to highlight the progression in this active field. The paper provides an overall picture of how these contributions have furnished relevant information on this topic to help in understanding and participate in these carbohydrate-lectin interactions.

Abstract
Non-invasive phototherapy includes photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), and has garnered special interest in anti-tumor therapy. However, traditional photosensitizers or photothermal agents are faced with major challenges, including easy recognition by immune system, rapid clearance from blood circulation, and low accumulation in target sites. Combining the characteristics of natural cell membrane with the characteristics of photosensitizer or photothermal agent is an important technology to achieve the ideal therapeutic effect of cancer. Red cell membrane (RBMs) coated can disguise phototherapy agents as endogenous substances, thus constructing a new nano bionic therapeutic platform, resisting blood clearance and prolonging circulation time. At present, a variety of phototherapy agents based on Nano-RBMs have been isolated or designed. In this review, firstly, the basic principles of Nano-RBMs and phototherapy are expounded respectively. Then, the latest progress of Nano-RBMs for PDT, PTT and PDT/PTT applications in recent five years has been introduced respectively. Finally, the problems and challenges of Nano-RBMs in the field of phototherapy are put forward.

Abstract
Upon exposure to biological fluids, the fouling of nanomaterial surfaces results in non-specific capture of proteins, which is particularly important when in contact with blood for in vivo and ex vivo applications. It is crucial to evaluate not just the protein components but also the glycans attached to those proteins. Polymer-tethered glycosylated gold nanoparticles have shown promise for use in biosensing/diagnostics, but the impact of the glycoprotein corona has not been established. Here we investigate how polymer-tethered glycosylated gold nanoparticles interact with serum proteins and demonstrate that the protein corona introduces new glycans and hence off-specific targeting capability. Using a panel of RAFT-derived polymers grafted to the gold surface, we show that the extent of corona formation is not dependent on the type of polymer. In lectin-binding assays, a glycan (galactose) installed on the chain-end of the polymer was available for binding even after protein corona formation. However, using sialic-acid binding lectins, it was found that there was significant off-target binding due to the large density of sialic acids introduced in the corona, confirmed by western blotting. To demonstrate the importance, we show that the nanoparticles can bind Siglec-2, an immune-relevant lectin post-corona formation. Pre-coating with (non-glycosylated) bovine serum albumin led to a significant reduction in the total glycoprotein corona. However, sufficient sialic acids were still present in the residual corona to lead to off-target binding. These results demonstrate the importance of the glycans when considering the protein corona and how 'retention of the desired function' does not rule out 'installation of undesired function' when considering the performance of glyco-nanomaterials.

Abstract
Nanomaterials offer promising solutions as drug delivery systems and imaging agents in response to the demand for better therapeutics and diagnostics. However, the limited understanding of the interaction between nanoparticles and biological entities is currently hampering the development of new systems and their applications in clinical settings. Proteins and lipids in biological fluids are known to complex with nanoparticles to form a "biomolecular corona". This has been shown to affect particles' morphology and behavior in biological systems and their interactions with cells. Hence, understanding how nanomaterials' physicochemical properties affect the formation and composition of this biocorona is a crucial step. This work evaluates existing literature on how morphology (size and shape), and surface chemistry (charge and hydrophobicity) of nanoparticles influence the formation of protein corona. The latest evidence suggest that although surface charge promotes the interaction with proteins and lipids, surface chemistry plays a leading role in determining the affinity of the nanoparticle for biomolecules and, ultimately, the composition of the corona. More recently the study of additional nanoparticles' properties like shape and surface chirality have demonstrated a significant effect on protein corona architecture, providing new tools to tailor biomolecular corona formation.

Abstract
Nanozymes have broad applications in theranostics and point-of-care tests. To enhance the catalytic activity of nanozymes, the conventional strategy is doping metals to form highly active nanoalloys. However, high-quality and stable nanoalloys are hard to synthesize. Ligand modification is a powerful strategy to achieve chemoselectivity or bioactivity by changing the surface chemistry. Here, we explore different ligands to enhance the catalytic activity of nanozymes, e.g., gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). We systematically studied the impacts on the enzymatic activity of AuNPs by ligand engineering of surface chemistry (charge, group, and surface distance). Our work established critical guidelines for surface modification of nanozymes. The amine group favors higher activity of AuNPs than other groups. The flexible amine-rich ligand enhances the catalytic activity of AuNPs in contrast to other ligands and unmodified AuNPs. Using a proof-of-concept model, we screened many candidate ligands to obtain polyamine-AuNPs, which have strongly enhanced peroxidase-like activity and 100 times enhanced sensitivity compared to unmodified AuNPs. The strategy of enhancing the catalytic activity of AuNPs using ligands will facilitate the catalysis-related applications of nanozymes in biology and diagnostics. Surface ligand engineering can precisely modulate the catalytic activity of nanozymes from inactive to highly active.![]()

Abstract
Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape and adjustable plasmonic properties. With the continuous improvement in synthetic methods, a variety of materials have been attached around Au NRs to achieve unexpected or improved plasmonic properties and explore state-of-the-art technologies. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the latest progress on Au NRs, the most versatile anisotropic plasmonic NPs. We present a representative overview of the advances in the synthetic strategies and outline an extensive catalogue of Au-NR-based heterostructures with tailored architectures and special functionalities. The bottom-up assembly of Au NRs into preprogrammed metastructures is then discussed, as well as the design principles. We also provide a systematic elucidation of the different plasmonic properties associated with the Au-NR-based structures, followed by a discussion of the promising applications of Au NRs in various fields. We finally discuss the future research directions and challenges of Au NRs.

Abstract
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) surface conjugations are widely employed to render passivating properties to nanoparticles in biological applications. The benefits of surface passivation by PEG are reduced protein adsorption, diminished non-specific interactions, and improvement in pharmacokinetics. However, the limitations of PEG passivation remain an active area of research, and recent examples from the literature demonstrate how PEG passivation can fail. Here, we study the adsorption amount of biomolecules to PEGylated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), focusing on how different protein properties influence binding. The AuNPs are PEGylated with three different sizes of conjugated PEG chains, and we examine interactions with proteins of different sizes, charges, and surface cysteine content. The experiments are carried out in vitro at physiologically relevant timescales to obtain the adsorption amounts and rates of each biomolecule on AuNP-PEGs of varying compositions. Our findings are relevant in understanding how protein size and the surface cysteine content affect binding, and our work reveals that cysteine residues can dramatically increase adsorption rates on PEGylated AuNPs. Moreover, shorter chain PEG molecules passivate the AuNP surface more effectively against all protein types.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are used in various biological applications because of their small surface area-to-volume ratios, ease of synthesis and modification, low toxicity, and unique optical properties. These properties can vary significantly with changes in AuNP size, shape, composition, and arrangement. Thus, the stabilization of AuNPs is crucial to preserve the properties required for biological applications. In recent years, various polymer-based physical and chemical methods have been extensively used for AuNP stabilization. However, a new stabilization approach using biomolecules has recently attracted considerable attention. Biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, peptides, and proteins are representative of the biomoieties that can functionalize AuNPs. According to several studies, biomolecules can stabilize AuNPs in biological media; in addition, AuNP-conjugated biomolecules can retain certain biological functions. Furthermore, the presence of biomolecules on AuNPs significantly enhances their biocompatibility. This review provides a representative overview of AuNP functionalization using various biomolecules. The strategies and mechanisms of AuNP functionalization using biomolecules are comprehensively discussed in the context of various biological fields.

Abstract
In recent years, Au-based nanomaterials are widely used in nanomedicine and biosensors due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. However, these applications require Au NPs to have excellent stability in different environments, such as extreme pH, high temperature, high concentration ions, and various biomatrix. To meet the requirement of multiple applications, many synthetic substances and natural products are used to prepare highly stable Au NPs. Because of this, we aim at offering an update comprehensive summary of preparation high stability Au NPs. In addition, we discuss its application in nanomedicine. The contents of this review are based on a balanced combination of our studies and selected research studies done by worldwide academic groups. First, we address some critical methods for preparing highly stable Au NPs using polymers, including heterocyclic substances, polyethylene glycols, amines, and thiol, then pay attention to natural product progress Au NPs. Then, we sum up the stability of various Au NPs in different stored times, ions solution, pH, temperature, and biomatrix. Finally, the application of Au NPs in nanomedicine, such as drug delivery, bioimaging, photothermal therapy (PTT), clinical diagnosis, nanozyme, and radiotherapy (RT), was addressed concentratedly.

Abstract
This review is the ninth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2016. Also included are papers that describe methods appropriate to analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation techniques, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. Topics covered in the first part of the review include general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation and arrays. The second part of the review is devoted to applications to various structural types such as oligo- and poly-saccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides and biopharmaceuticals. Much of this material is presented in tabular form. The third part of the review covers medical and industrial applications of the technique, studies of enzyme reactions and applications to chemical synthesis. The reported work shows increasing use of combined new techniques such as ion mobility and the enormous impact that MALDI imaging is having. MALDI, although invented over 30 years ago is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis and advancements in the technique and range of applications show no sign of deminishing. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is widely used in particle assembly to impart biocompatibility and stealth-like properties in vivo for diverse biomedical applications. Previous studies have examined the effect of PEG molecular weight and PEG coating density on the biological fate of various particles; however, there are few studies that detail the fundamental role of PEG molecular architecture in particle engineering and bio-nano interactions. Herein, we engineered PEG particles using a mesoporous silica (MS) templating method and investigated how the PEG building block architecture impacted the physicochemical properties (e.g., surface chemistry and mechanical characteristics) of the PEG particles and subsequently modulated particle-immune cell interactions in human blood. Varying the PEG architecture from 3-arm to 4-arm, 6-arm, and 8-arm generated PEG particles with a denser, stiffer structure, with increasing elastic modulus from 1.5 to 14.9 kPa, inducing an increasing level of immune cell association (from 15% for 3-arm to 45% for 8-arm) with monocytes. In contrast, the precursor PEG particles with the template intact (MS@PEG) were stiffer and generally displayed higher levels of immune cell association but showed the opposite trend-immune cell association decreased with increasing PEG arm numbers. Proteomics analysis demonstrated that the biomolecular corona that formed on the PEG particles minimally influenced particle-immune cell interactions, whereas the MS@PEG particle-cell interactions correlated with the composition of the corona that was abundant in histidine-rich glycoproteins. Our work highlights the role of PEG architecture in the design of stealth PEG-based particles, thus providing a link between the synthetic nature of particles and their biological behavior in blood.

Abstract
Nature-inspired nanosized formulations based on an imageable, small-sized inorganic core scaffold, on which biomolecules are assembled to form nanobiomimetics, hold great promise for both early diagnostics and developed therapeutics. Nevertheless, the fabrication of nanobiomimetics that allow noninvasive background-free mapping of pathological events with improved sensitivity, enhanced specificity, and multiplexed capabilities remains a major challenge. Here, we introduce paramagnetic glyconanofluorides as small-sized (<10 nm) glycomimetics for immunotargeting and sensitive noninvasive in vivo19F magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) mapping of inflammation. A very short T1 relaxation time (70 ms) of the fluorides was achieved by doping the nanofluorides' solid crystal core with paramagnetic Sm3+, resulting in a significant 8-fold enhancement in their 19F MRI sensitivity, allowing faster acquisition and improved detectability levels. The fabricated nanosized glycomimetics exhibit significantly enhanced uptake within activated immune cells, providing background-free in vivo mapping of inflammatory activity, demonstrated in both locally induced inflammation and clinically related neuropathology animal models. Fabricating two types of nanofluorides, each with a distinct chemical shift, allowed us to exploit the color-like features of 19F MRI to map, in real time, immune specificity and preferred targetability of the paramagnetic glyconanofluorides, demonstrating the approach's potential extension to noninvasive multitarget imaging scenarios that are not yet applicable for nanobiomimetics based on other nanocrystal cores.

Abstract
The current therapies based on immunosuppressant or new biologic drugs often show some limitations in term of efficacy and applicability, mainly because of their inadequate targeting and of unwanted adverse reactions they generate. To overcome these inherent problems, in the last decades, innovative nanocarriers have been developed to encapsulate active molecules and offer novel promising strategies to efficiently modulate the immune system. This review provides an overview of how it is possible, exploiting the favorable features of nanocarriers, especially with regard to their immunogenicity, to improve the bioavailability of novel drugs that selectively target immune cells in the context of autoimmune disorders and inflammatory diseases. A focus is made on nanoparticles that selectively target neutrophils in inflammatory pathologies.

Abstract
In an in vitro nanotoxicity system, cell-nanoparticle (NP) interaction leads to the surface adsorption, uptake, and changes into nuclei/cell phenotype and chemistry, as an indicator of oxidative stress, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity. Different types of nanomaterials and their chemical composition or "corona" have been widely studied in context with nanotoxicology. However, rare reports are available, which delineate the details of the cell shape index (CSI) and nuclear area factors (NAFs) as a descriptor of the type of nanomaterials. In this paper, we propose a machine-learning-based graph modeling and correlation-establishing approach using tight junction protein ZO-1-mediated alteration in the cell/nuclei phenotype to quantify and propose it as indices of cell-NP interactions. We believe that the phenotypic variation (CSI and NAF) in the epithelial cell is governed by the physicochemical descriptors (e.g., shape, size, zeta potential, concentration, diffusion coefficients, polydispersity, and so on) of the different classes of nanomaterials, which critically determines the intracellular uptake or cell membrane interactions when exposed to the epithelial cells at sub-lethal concentrations. The intrinsic and extrinsic physicochemical properties of the representative nanomaterials (NMs) were measured using optical (dynamic light scattering, NP tracking analysis) methods to create a set of nanodescriptors contributing to cell-NM interactions via phenotype adjustments. We used correlation function as a machine-learning algorithm to successfully predict cell and nuclei shapes and polarity functions as phenotypic markers for five different classes of nanomaterials studied herein this report. The CSI and NAF as nanodescriptors can be used as intuitive cell phenotypic parameters to define the safety of nanomaterials extensively used in consumer products and nanomedicine.

Abstract
Upon contact with biofluids, proteins are quickly adsorbed onto the nanoparticle (NP) surface to form a protein corona, which initiates the opsonization and facilitates the rapid clearance of the NP by macrophage uptake. Although polyethylene glycol (PEG) functionalization has been the standard approach to evade macrophage uptake by reducing protein adsorption, it cannot fully eliminate nonspecific uptake. Herein, polyglycerol (PG) grafting is demonstrated as a better alternative to PEG. NPs of various size and material were grafted with PG and PEG at 30, 20, and 10 wt % contents by controlling the reaction conditions, and the resulting NP-PG and NP-PEG were characterized qualitatively by IR spectroscopy and quantitatively by thermogravimetric analysis. Their resistivity to adsorption of the proteins in fetal bovine serum and human plasma were compared by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, bicinchoninic acid assay, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, giving a consistent conclusion that PG shields protein adsorption more efficiently than does PEG. The macrophage uptake was assayed by transmission electron microscopy and by extinction spectroscopy or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, revealing that PG avoids macrophage uptake more efficiently than does PEG. In particular, a NP coated with PG at 30 wt % (NP-PG-h) prevents corona formation almost completely, regardless of NP size and core material, leading to the complete evasion of macrophage uptake. Our findings demonstrate that PG grafting is a promising strategy in nanomedicine to improve anti-biofouling property and stealth efficiency in nanoformulations.

Abstract
Polymeric particles have recently been used to modulate the behavior of immune cells in the treatment of various inflammatory conditions. However, there is little understanding of how physical particle parameters affect their specific interaction with different leukocyte subtypes. While particle shape is known to be a crucial factor in their phagocytosis by macrophages, where elongated particles are reported to experience reduced uptake, it remains unclear how shape influences phagocytosis by circulating phagocytes, including neutrophils that are the most abundant leukocyte in human blood. In this study, we investigated the phagocytosis of rod-shaped polymeric particles by human neutrophils relative to other leukocytes. In contrast to macrophages and other mononuclear phagocytes, neutrophils were found to exhibit increased internalization of rods in ex vivo and in vivo experimentation. This result suggests that alteration of particle shape can be used to selectively target neutrophils in inflammatory pathologies where these cells play a substantial role.

Abstract
When nanoparticles (NPs) are exposed to biological media, proteins are adsorbed, forming a so-called protein corona (PC). This cloud of protein aggregates hampers the targeting and transport capabilities of the NPs, thereby compromising their biomedical applications. Therefore, there is a high interest in the development of technologies that allow control over PC formation, as this would provide a handle to manipulate NPs in biological fluids. We present a strategy that enables the reversible disruption of the PC using external stimuli, thereby allowing a precise regulation of NP cellular uptake. The approach, demonstrated for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), is based on a biorthogonal, supramolecular host-guest interactions between an anionic dye bound to the AuNP surface and a positively charged macromolecular cage. This supramolecular complex effectively behaves as a zwitterionic NP ligand, which is able not only to prevent PC formation but also to disrupt a previously formed hard corona. With this supramolecular stimulus, the cellular internalization of AuNPs can be enhanced by up to 30-fold in some cases, and even NP cellular uptake in phagocytic cells can be regulated. Additionally, we demonstrate that the conditional cell uptake of purposely designed gold nanorods can be used to selectively enhance photothermal cell death.

Abstract
Aim: To develop a hybrid nanoassembly platform using PEG-chitosan/iron oxide nanoparticles for effective low-power assisted photodynamic/photothermal combination therapy. Materials & methods: The hybrid nanoassemblies (NAs) were firstly fabricated by self-assembling chitosan and iron oxide nanoparticles, following which their surfaces were modified with polyethylene glycolated triphenylphosphine and loaded with methylene blue (MB) photosensitizer. The physical characteristics and phototherapy effects of these NAs were evaluated. Results: The formed MB-loaded NAs could produce both heat and singlet oxygen under low-power near-infrared irradiation, which would damage the cancer cells. Delivered by intravenous injection, the MB-loaded NAs showed high tendency to accumulate at the tumor sites, which would lead to effective cancer treatment under controlled photoexcitation without damaging the normal tissues. Conclusion: The proposed low-power assisted simultaneous photodynamic/photothermal approach effectively improves treatment efficiency and provides safe and precise treatment option.

Abstract
In the last decade, nanoparticles (NPs) have become a key tool in medicine and biotechnology as drug delivery systems, biosensors and diagnostic devices. The composition and surface chemistry of NPs vary based on the materials used: typically organic polymers, inorganic materials, or lipids. Nanoparticle classes can be further divided into sub-categories depending on the surface modification and functionalization. These surface properties matter when NPs are introduced into a physiological environment, as they will influence how nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins will interact with the NP surface. While small-molecule interactions are easily probed using NMR spectroscopy, studying protein-NP interactions using NMR introduces several challenges. For example, globular proteins may have a perturbed conformation when attached to a foreign surface, and the size of NP-protein conjugates can lead to excessive line broadening. Many of these challenges have been addressed, and NMR spectroscopy is becoming a mature technique for in situ analysis of NP binding behavior. It is therefore not surprising that NMR has been applied to NP systems and has been used to study biomolecules on NP surfaces. Important considerations include corona composition, protein behavior, and ligand architecture. These features are difficult to resolve using classical surface and material characterization strategies, and NMR provides a complementary avenue of characterization. In this review, we examine how solution NMR can be combined with other analytical techniques to investigate protein behavior on NP surfaces.

Abstract
Nonspecific interactions in biological media can lead to the formation of a protein corona around nanocolloids, which tends to alter their behavior and limit their effectiveness when used as probes for imaging or sensing applications. Yet, understanding the corona buildup has been challenging. We hereby investigate these interactions using luminescent quantum dots (QDs) as a model nanocolloid system, where we carefully vary the nature of the hydrophilic block in the surface coating, while maintaining the same dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) bidentate coordinating motif. We first use agarose gel electrophoresis to track changes in the mobility shift upon exposure of the QDs to protein-rich media. We find that QDs capped with DHLA (which presents a hydrophobic alkyl chain terminated with a carboxyl group) promote corona formation, in a concentration-dependent manner. However, when a polyethylene glycol block or a zwitterion group is appended onto DHLA, it yields a coating that prevents corona buildup. Our results clearly confirm that nonspecific interactions with protein-rich media are strongly dependent on the nature of the hydrophilic motif used. Additional gel experiments using SDS-PAGE have allowed further characterization of the corona protein, and showed that mainly a soft corona forms around the DHLA-capped QDs. These findings will be highly informative when designing nanocolloids that can find potential use in biological applications.

Abstract
We present the application of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy for the fast, sensitive and highly specific detection of the galectin-9 (Gal-9) protein in binding buffer (mimicking natural conditions). The method involves the use of specifically designed nanotags comprising glycan-decorated gold nanoparticles encoded with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid. At fast time scales Gal-9 can be detected down to a concentration of 1.2 nM by monitoring the SERS signal of the reporter, driven by aggregation of the functionalized Au NPs tags, induced by Gal-9 recognition. We additionally demonstrate that the sensitivity and concentration working range of the sensor can be tuned via control of aggregation dynamics and cluster size distribution.

Abstract
Background In the last decade, the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles using organisms have received more and more considerations. However, the complex composition of organisms adds up to a great barrier for the characterization of biomolecules involved in the synthesis process and their biological mechanisms. Results In this research, we biosynthesized a kind of flower-shaped Au nanoclusters (Au NCs) using one definite component—epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which was the main biomolecules of green tea polyphenols. Possessing good stability for 6 weeks and a size of 50 nm, the Au NCs might be a successful candidate for drug delivery. Hence, both methotrexate (MTX) and doxorubicin (DOX) were conjugated to the Au NCs through a bridge of cysteine (Cys). The introduction of MTX provided good targeting property for the Au NCs, and the conjugation of DOX provided good synergistic effect. Then, a novel kind of dual-drug loaded, tumor-targeted and highly efficient drug delivery system (Au-Cys-MTX/DOX NCs) for combination therapy was successfully prepared. The TEM of HeLa cells incubated with Au-Cys-MTX/DOX NCs indicated that the Au-Cys-MTX/DOX NCs could indeed enter and kill cancer cells. The Au-Cys-MTX/DOX NCs also possessed good targeting effect to the FA-receptors-overpressed cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, the Au-Cys-MTX/DOX NCs resulted in an excellent anticancer activity in vivo with negligible side effects. Conclusions These results suggest that the biosynthesized Au-Cys-MTX/DOX NCs could be a potential carrier with highly efficient anticancer properties for tumor-targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Glycan recognition plays key roles in cell-cell and host-pathogen interactions, stimulating widespread interest in developing multivalent glycoconjugates with superior binding affinity for biological and medical uses. Here, we explore the use of Raman-encoded silver coated gold nanorods (GNRs) as scaffolds to form multivalent glycoconjugates. The plasmonic scaffolds afford high-loading of glycan density and their optical properties offer the possibilities of monitoring and quantitative analysis of glycan recognition. Using E. coli strains with tailored on/off of the FimH receptors, we have demonstrated that Raman-encoded GNRs not only allow for real-time imaging and spectroscopic detection of specific binding of the glycan-GNR conjugates with bacteria of interest, but also cause rapid eradication of the bacteria due to the efficient photothermal conversion of GNRs in the near-infrared spectral window. We envision that optically active plasmonic glycoconjugates hold great potential for screening multivalent glycan ligands for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Abstract
The primary function of the cell membrane is to protect cells from their surroundings. This entails a strict regulation on controlling the exchange of matter between the cell and its environment. A key factor when considering potential biological applications of a particular chemical structure has to do with its ability to internalize into cells. Molecules that can readily cross cell membranes are frequently needed in biological research and medicine, since most therapeutic entities are designed to modulate intracellular components. However, the design of molecules that do not penetrate cells is also relevant toward, for example, extracellular contrast agents, which are most widely used in clinical diagnosis. Small molecules have occupied the forefront of biomedical research until recently, but the past few decades have seen an increasing use of larger chemical structures, such as proteins or nanoparticles, leading to unprecedented and often unexpectedly novel research. Great achievements have been made toward understanding the rules that govern cellular uptake, which show that cell internalization of molecules is largely affected by their size. For example, macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids are usually unable to internalize cells. Intriguingly, in the case of nanoparticles, larger sizes seem to facilitate internalization via endocytic pathways, through which the particles remain trapped in lysosomes and endosomes. In this Account, we aimed at presenting our personal view of how different chemical structures behave in terms of cell internalization due to their size, ranging from small drugs to large nanoparticles. We first introduce the properties of cell membranes and the main mechanisms involved in cellular uptake. We then discuss the cellular internalization of molecules, distinguishing between those with molecular weights below 1 kDa and biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. In the last section, we review the biological behavior of nanoparticles, with a special emphasis on plasmonic nanoparticles, which feature a high potential in the biomedical field. For each group of chemical structures, we discuss the parameters affecting their cellular internalization but also strategies that can be applied to achieve the desired intracellular delivery. Particular attention is paid to approaches that allow conditional regulation of the cell internalization process using external triggers, such as activable cell penetrating peptides, due to the impact that these systems may have in drug delivery and sensing applications. The Account ends with a "Conclusions and Outlook" section, where general lessons and future directions toward further advancements are briefly presented.

Abstract
Due to the high surface: volume ratio and the extraordinary properties arising from the nanoscale (optical, electric, magnetic, etc.), nanoparticles (NPs) are excellent candidates for multiple applications. In this context, nanoscience is opening a wide range of modern technologies in biological and biomedical fields, among others. However, one of the main drawbacks that still delays its fast evolution and effectiveness is related to the behavior of nanomaterials in the presence of biological fluids. Unfortunately, biological fluids are characterized by high ionic strengths which usually induce NP aggregation. Besides this problem, the high content in biomacromolecules—such as lipids, sugars, nucleic acids and, especially, proteins—also affects NP stability and its viability for some applications due to, for example, the formation of the protein corona around the NPs. Here, we will review the most common strategies to achieve stable NPs dispersions in high ionic strength fluids and, also, antifouling strategies to avoid the protein adsorption.

Abstract
In this feature article we discuss the particular relevance of glycans as components or targets of functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) for potential applications in personalized medicine but we will not enter into descriptions for their preparation. For a more general view covering the preparation and applications of glyconanomaterials the reader is referred to a number of recent reviews. The combination of glyco- and nanotechnology is already providing promising new tools for more personalized solutions to diagnostics and therapy. Current applications relevant to personalized medicine include drug targeting, localized radiation therapy, imaging of glycan expression of cancer cells, point of care diagnostics, cancer vaccines, photodynamic therapy, biosensors, and glycoproteomics.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, nanoengineered particles have gained increasing interest for applications in the biomedical realm, including diagnosis, imaging, and therapy. When functionalized with targeting ligands, these particles have the potential to interact with specific cells and tissues, and accumulate at desired target sites, reducing side effects and improve overall efficacy in applications such as vaccination and drug delivery. However, when targeted particles enter a complex biological environment, the adsorption of biomolecules and the formation of a surface coating (e.g., a protein corona) changes the properties of the carriers and can render their behavior unpredictable. For this reason, it is of importance to consider the potential challenges imposed by the biological environment at the early stages of particle design. This review describes parameters that affect the targeting ability of particulate drug carriers, with an emphasis on the effect of the protein corona. We highlight strategies for exploiting the protein corona to improve the targeting ability of particles. Finally, we provide suggestions for complementing current in vitro assays used for the evaluation of targeting and carrier efficacy with new and emerging techniques (e.g., 3D models and flow-based technologies) to advance fundamental understanding in bio-nano science and to accelerate the development of targeted particles for biomedical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the safety and immunogenicity of a novel recombinant adenovirus type 5 vector based Ebola virus disease vaccine (Ad5-EBOV) in Africans in China. METHODS A phase 1, dose-escalation, open-label trial was conducted. 61 healthy Africans were sequentially enrolled, with 31 participants receiving one shot intramuscular injection and 30 participants receiving a double-shot regimen. Primary and secondary end points related to safety and immunogenicity were assessed within 28 d after vaccination. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02401373). RESULTS Ad5-EBOV is well tolerated and no adverse reaction of grade 3 or above was observed. 53 (86.89%) participants reported at least one adverse reaction within 28 d of vaccination. The most common reaction was fever and the mild pain at injection site, and there were no significant difference between these 2 groups. Ebola glycoprotein-specific antibodies appeared in all 61 participants and antibodies titers peaked after 28 d of vaccination. The geometric mean titres (GMTs) were similar between these 2 groups (1919.01 vs 1684.70 P = 0.5562). The glycoprotein-specific T-cell responses rapidly peaked after 14 d of vaccination and then decreased, however, the percentage of subjects with responses were much higher in the high-dose group (60.00% vs 9.68%, P = 0.0014). Pre-existing Ad5 neutralizing antibodies could significantly dampen the specific humoral immune response and cellular response to the vaccine. CONCLUSION The application of Ad5-EBOV demonstrated safe in Africans in China and a specific GP antibody and T-cell response could occur 14 d after the first immunization. This acceptable safety profile provides a reliable basis to proceed with trials in Africa.

Abstract
In recent years, indocyanine green (ICG) encapsulated in different kinds of nano-carriers have been developed to overcome its short lifetime in vivo and non-selectivity in cancer cells. However, these nanoparticles are still easily recognized and captured by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) and the low singlet oxygen quantum (0.08) of ICG inevitably leads to a limited efficacy of phototherapy. To overcome these limitations, a novel oxygen self-enriched biomimetic red blood cell (RBC) was developed by cloaking albumin nanoparticles which contained ICG and perfluorocarbon (PFC) with RBC membranes. Due to the high oxygen capacity of PFC, the oxygen self-enriched nanoparticles can enhance photodynamic therapy (PDT) by generating more singlet oxygen (1O2). After successfully coated RBC membranes onto nanoparticles, the novel oxygen self-enriched biomimetic RBCs remained the characteristics of photothermal therapy (PTT) and enhanced PDT in vitro. Importantly, it can effectively reduce immune clearance in macrophage cells (RAW264.7) and significantly prolong blood circulation time, achieving high accumulation in tumor. In addition, the tumor growth was effectively inhibited after intravenous injection to tumor-bearing mice. Altogether, this oxygen self-enriched RBCs with long circulation time and high oxygen capacity as natural RBCs provide a new strategy to design biomimetic nano-system for clinical cancer phototherapy treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Near-infrared (NIR) dyes encapsulated in nanocarriers have been achieved great interest in cancer phototherapy treatment. However, the low singlet oxygen (1O2) quantum of NIR dyes and short circulation time of nanoparticles lead to unsatisfactory efficacy, limiting their applications. In this study, a novel oxygen self-enriched biomimetic red blood cell (bio-RBC) was developed to produce fluorescence, imaging-guided for photothermal therapy (PTT) and enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT). It was composed of RBC membranes and albumin nanoparticles (IPH) which contained indocyanine green (ICG) and perfluorocarbon (PFC). After RBC membranes successfully being coated on nanoparticles, bio-RBC can effectively reduce immune clearance in macrophage cells and achieve longer circulation time in vivo, due to the protein retention in RBC membranes. In addition, PFC with high oxygen capacity can provide more oxygen to generate more 1O2 and dissolve 1O2 to enhance its life-time, enhancing PDT cancer treatment. In summary, the novel bio-RBC with longer lifetime and higher oxygen capacity as natural RBCs can significantly accumulate on tumor and effectively enhance phototherapy. It could serve as a novel strategy to overcome the problems of NIR dyes encapsulated nanoparticles, promising for future clinical application.

Abstract
Dendritic cell-based (DC-based) vaccines are promising immunotherapies for cancer. However, several factors, such as the lack of efficient targeted delivery and the sources and types of DCs, have limited the efficacy of DCs and their clinical potential. We propose an alternative nanotechnology-based vaccine platform with antibacterial prophylactic abilities that uses gold glyconanoparticles coupled to listeriolysin O 91-99 peptide (GNP-LLO91-99), which acts as a novel adjuvant for cancer therapy. GNP-LLO91-99, when used to vaccinate mice, exhibited dual antitumour activities, namely, the inhibition of tumour migration and growth and adjuvant activity for recruiting and activating DCs, including those from melanoma patients. GNP-LLO91-99 nanoparticles caused tumour apoptosis and induced antigen- and melanoma-specific cytotoxic Th1 responses (P ≤ 0.5). We propose this adjuvant nanotherapy for preventing the progression of the first stages of melanoma.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Many treatments have been developed so far, although effective, suffer from severe side effects due to low selectivity. Nanoparticles can improve the therapeutic index of their delivered drugs by specifically transporting them to tumors. However, their exogenous nature usually leads to fast clearance by mononuclear phagocytic system. Recently, cell membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles have been investigated for cancer therapy, taking advantages of excellent biocompatibility and versatile functionality of cell membranes. In this review, we summarized source materials and procedures that have been used for constructing and characterizing biomimetic nanoparticles with a focus on their application in cancer therapy.

Abstract
A reversible programmed targeting strategy could achieve high tumor accumulation due to its long blood circulation time and high cellular internalization. Here, targeting ligand-modified poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-ligand), dibutylamines (Bu), and pyrrolidinamines (Py) were introduced on the surface of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) for reversible shielding/deshielding of the targeting ligands by pH-responsive self-assembly. Hydrophobic interaction and steric repulsion are the main driving forces for the self-assembly/disassembly of Au NPs. The precise self-assembly (pH ≥ 7.2) and disassembly (pH ≤ 6.8) of Au NPs with different ligands could be achieved by fine-tuning the modifying molar ratio of Bu and Py (Rm), which followed the formula Rm = 1/(-0.0013X2 + 0.0323X + 1), in which X is the logarithm of the partition coefficient of the targeting ligand. The assembled/disassembled behavior of Au NPs at pH 7.2 and 6.8 was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and cellular uptake studies showed that the ligands could be buried inside the assembly and exposed when disassembled. More importantly, this process was reversible, which provides the possibility of prolonging blood circulation by shielding ligands associated with the NPs that were effused from tumor tissue.

Abstract
This review comprehensively covers the most recent achievements (from 2013) in the successful integration of nanomaterials in the field of glycomics. The first part of the paper addresses the beneficial properties of nanomaterials for the construction of biosensors, bioanalytical devices, and protocols for the detection of various analytes, including viruses and whole cells, together with their key characteristics. The second part of the review focuses on the application of nanomaterials integrated with glycans for various biomedical applications, that is, vaccines against viral and bacterial infections and cancer cells, as therapeutic agents, for in vivo imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, and for selective drug delivery. The final part of the review describes various ways in which glycan enrichment can be effectively done using nanomaterials, molecularly imprinted polymers with polymer thickness controlled at the nanoscale, with a subsequent analysis of glycans by mass spectrometry. A short section describing an active glycoprofiling by microengines (microrockets) is covered as well.

Abstract
Targeted bioimaging or chemotherapeutic drug delivery to achieve the desired therapeutic effects while minimizing side effects has attracted considerable research attention and remains a clinical challenge. Presented herein is a multi-component delivery system based on carbohydrate-functionalized gold nanoparticles conjugated with a fluorophore or prodrug. The system leverages active targeting based on carbohydrate-lectin interactions and release of the payload by biological thiols. Cell-type specific delivery of the activatable fluorophore was examined by confocal imaging on HepG2 cells, and displays distinct selectivity towards HepG2 cells over HeLa and NIH3T3 cells. The system was further developed into a drug delivery vehicle with camptothecin (CPT) as a model drug. It was demonstrated that the complex exhibits similar cytotoxicity to that of free CPT towards HepG2 cells, and is significantly less cytotoxic to normal HDF and NIH3T3 cells, indicating excellent specificity. The delivery vehicle itself exhibits excellent biocompatibility and offers an attractive strategy for cell-type specific delivery depending on the carbohydrates conjugated in the system.
