Abstract
Chemical modifications of proteins confer new functions on them or modulate their original functions. Although various approaches are developed for modifications, modifications of the two different reactive sites of proteins by different chemicals are still challenging. In this chapter, we show a simple approach for selective modifications of both interior and exterior surfaces of protein nanocages by two different chemicals based on a molecular size filter effect of the surface pores.

Abstract
The thermal and chemical stability of 24mer ferritins has led to attempts to exploit their naturally occurring nanoscale (8 nm) internal cavities for biotechnological applications. An area of increasing interest is the encapsulation of molecules either for medical or biocatalysis applications. Encapsulation requires ferritin dissociation, typically induced using high temperature or acidic conditions (pH ≥ 2), which generally precludes the inclusion of fragile cargo such as proteins or peptide fragments. Here we demonstrate that minimizing salt concentration combined with adjusting the pH to ≤8.5 (i.e. low proton/metal ion concentration) reversibly shifts the naturally occurring equilibrium between dimeric and 24meric assemblies of Escherichia coli bacterioferritin (Bfr) in favour of the disassembled form. Interconversion between the different oligomeric forms of Bfr is sufficiently slow under these conditions to allow the use of size exclusion chromatography to obtain wild type protein in the purely dimeric and 24meric forms. This control over association state was exploited to bind heme at natural sites that are not accessible in the assembled protein. The potential for biotechnological applications was demonstrated by the encapsulation of a small, acidic [3Fe-4S] cluster-containing ferredoxin within the Bfr internal cavity. The capture of ∼4-6 negatively charged ferredoxin molecules per cage indicates that charge complementarity with the inner protein surface is not an essential determinant of successful encapsulation.

Abstract
Protein-polymer conjugates are a class of molecules that combine the stability of polymers with the diversity, specificity, and functionality of biomolecules. These bioconjugates can result in hybrid materials that display properties not found in their individual components and can be particularly relevant for drug delivery applications. Engineering amphiphilicity into these bioconjugate materials can lead to phase separation and the assembly of high-order structures. The assembly, termed self-assembly, of these hierarchical structures entails multiple levels of organization: at each level, new properties emerge, which are, in turn, influenced by lower levels. Here, we provide a critical review of protein-polymer conjugate self-assembly and how these materials can be used for therapeutic applications and drug delivery. In addition, we discuss central bioconjugate design questions and propose future perspectives for the field of protein-polymer conjugate self-assembly.

Abstract
Simple Summary In recent decades, a molecular complex referred to as vault nanoparticle has attracted much attention by the scientific community, due to its unique properties. At the molecular scale, it is a huge assembly consisting of 78 97-kDa polypeptide chains enclosing an internal cavity, wherein enzymes involved in DNA integrity maintenance and some small noncoding RNAs are accommodated. Basically, two reasons justify this interest. On the one hand, this complex represents an ideal tool for the targeted delivery of drugs, provided it is suitably engineered, either chemically or genetically; on the other hand, it has been shown to be involved in several cellular pathways and mechanisms that most often result in multidrug resistance. It is therefore expected that a better understanding of the physiological roles of this ribonucleoproteic complex may help develop new therapeutic strategies capable of coping with cancer progression. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the current knowledge. Abstract The vault nanoparticle is a eukaryotic ribonucleoprotein complex consisting of 78 individual 97 kDa-“major vault protein” (MVP) molecules that form two symmetrical, cup-shaped, hollow halves. It has a huge size (72.5 × 41 × 41 nm) and an internal cavity, wherein the vault poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (vPARP), telomerase-associated protein-1 (TEP1), and some small untranslated RNAs are accommodated. Plenty of literature reports on the biological role(s) of this nanocomplex, as well as its involvement in diseases, mostly oncological ones. Nevertheless, much has still to be understood as to how vault participates in normal and pathological mechanisms. In this comprehensive review, current understanding of its biological roles is discussed. By different mechanisms, vault’s individual components are involved in major cellular phenomena, which result in protection against cellular stresses, such as DNA-damaging agents, irradiation, hypoxia, hyperosmotic, and oxidative conditions. These diverse cellular functions are accomplished by different mechanisms, mainly gene expression reprogramming, activation of proliferative/prosurvival signaling pathways, export from the nucleus of DNA-damaging drugs, and import of specific proteins. The cellular functions of this nanocomplex may also result in the onset of pathological conditions, mainly (but not exclusively) tumor proliferation and multidrug resistance. The current understanding of its biological roles in physiological and pathological processes should also provide new hints to extend the scope of its exploitation as a nanocarrier for drug delivery.

Abstract
Microalgae is a promising candidate for reducing greenhouse gas and producing renewable biofuels. For microalgae biofilm cultivation, a strong adhesion ability of microalgae cells onto the surface is a prerequisite to resist the fluid shear stress, while strong adhesion is not of benefit to the biofilm harvesting process. To solve this dilemma, a thermoresponsive surface (TMRS) with lower critical solution temperature of 33 °C was made by grafting N-isopropylacrylamide onto a silicate glass slide. The wettability of the TMRS changed from hydrophilic (contact angle of 59.4°) to hydrophobic (contact angle of 91.6°) when the temperature rose from 15 to 35 °C, resulting in the increase of adhesion energy of the TMRS to Chlorella vulgaris cells by 135.6%. The experiments showed that the cells were more likely to attach onto the TMRS at the higher temperature of 35 °C owing to the surface microstructures generated by the hydrogel layer shrinkage, which is similar in size to the microalgae cells. And the cell coverage rate on TMRS increased by 32% compared to the original glass surface. Conversely, the cells separate easily from the TMRS at a lower temperature of 15 °C, and the cell adhesion density was reduced by 19% due to hydrogel layer swelling to a relatively flat surface.

Abstract
The rational design of a multi-responsive protein-based supramolecular system that can predictably respond to more than one stimulus remains an essential but highly challenging goal in biomolecular engineering. Herein, we report a novel chemical method for the construction of multi-responsive supramolecular nanoassemblies using custom-designed facially amphiphilic monodisperse protein-dendron bioconjugates. The macromolecular synthons contain a globular hydrophilic protein domain site-specifically conjugated to photo-responsive hydrophobic benzyl-ether dendrons of different generations through oligo(ethylene glycol) linkers of defined length. The size of the protein nanoassemblies can be systematically tuned by choosing an appropriate dendron or linker of defined length. Exposure of protein nanoassemblies to light results in partial rather than complete disassembly of the complex. The newly formed protein nanoparticle no longer responds to light but could be disassembled into constitutive monomers under acidic conditions or by further treatment with a small molecule. More interestingly, the distribution ratio of the assembled versus disassembled states of protein nanoassemblies after photochemical reaction does not depend on dendron generation, the nature of the linker functionality or the identity of the protein, but is heavily influenced by the linker length. In sum, this work discloses a new chemical method for the rational design of a monodisperse multi-responsive protein-based supramolecular system with exquisite control over the disassembly process.

Abstract
The study of enzymatic reactions in a confined space can provide valuable insight into the natural selection of nanocompartments for biocatalytic processes. Design of nanozyme capsules with the barrel-shaped protein cage of GroEL has been proposed as a promising means to constrain chemical reactions in a spatiotemporally controllable manner. Herein, we further demonstrate with hemin that the open GroEL cavity can provide a favorable microenvironment for shielding hydrophobic catalytically active species. Meanwhile, it is shown that the GroEL-caged hemin nanozyme not only has a significantly higher catalytic activity than merely dispersed hemin but also exhibits substrate specificity in the model oxidation reactions, which is a merit lacking in natural hemoproteins. To understand the underlying mechanism behind this supramolecular assembly, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the detailed interactions of hemin with the protein cage. This revealed the most likely binding mode and preferred binding residues in the paired hydrophobic α-helices lining the GroEL cavity which are genetically encoded for substrate capture. Finally, we demonstrate that the hemin-GroEL nanozyme has great potential in label-free fluorometric molecular detection when combined with suitable substrates such as homovanillic acid. We believe that our strategy is an advantageous tool for studying confined biocatalytic kinetics as simple mimics of protein-based organelles found in nature and for designing diverse nanozymes or bio-nanoreactors with the promiscuous GroEL binding cavity.

Abstract
Despite growing research efforts on the preparation of (bio)functional liposomes, synthetic capsules cannot reach the densities of protein loading and the control over peptide display that is achieved by natural vesicles. Herein, a microbial platform for high-yield production of lipidic nanovesicles with clickable thiol moieties in their outer corona is reported. These nanovesicles show low size dispersity, are decorated with a dense, perfectly oriented, and customizable corona of transmembrane polypeptides. Furthermore, this approach enables encapsulation of soluble proteins into the nanovesicles. Due to the mild preparation and loading conditions (absence of organic solvents, pH gradients, or detergents) and their straightforward surface functionalization, which takes advantage of the diversity of commercially available maleimide derivatives, bacteria-based proteoliposomes are an attractive eco-friendly alternative that can outperform currently used liposomes.

Abstract
Peptide and protein-based cancer vaccines usually fail to elicit efficient immune responses against tumors. However, delivery of these peptides and proteins as components within caged protein nanoparticles has shown promising improvements in vaccine efficacy. Advantages of protein nanoparticles over other vaccine platforms include their highly organized structures and symmetry, biodegradability, ability to be specifically functionalized at three different interfaces (inside and outside the protein cage, and between subunits in macromolecular assembly), and ideal size for vaccine delivery. In this review, we discuss different classes of virus-like particles and caged protein nanoparticles that have been used as vehicles to transport and increase the interaction of cancer vaccine components with the immune system. We review the effectiveness of these protein nanoparticles towards inducing and elevating specific immune responses, which are needed to overcome the low immunogenicity of the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
In recent years, the practical application of protein-based nanoparticles (PNPs) has expanded rapidly into areas like drug delivery, vaccine development, and biocatalysis. PNPs possess unique features that make them attractive as potential platforms for a variety of nanobiotechnological applications. They self-assemble from multiple protein subunits into hollow monodisperse structures; they are highly stable, biocompatible, and biodegradable; and their external components and encapsulation properties can be readily manipulated by chemical or genetic strategies. Moreover, their complex and perfect symmetry have motivated researchers to mimic their properties in order to create de novo protein assemblies. This review focuses on recent advances in the bioengineering and bioconjugation of PNPs and the implementation of synthetic biology concepts to exploit and enhance PNP's intrinsic properties and to impart them with novel functionalities.

A fast and straightforward procedure for vault nanoparticle purification and the characterization of its endocytic uptake. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2018; 1862:2254-2260. [PMID: 30036602 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2018.07.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2018] [Revised: 07/12/2018] [Accepted: 07/17/2018] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vaults are eukaryotic ribonucleoprotein particles composed of up 78 copies of the 97 kDa major vault protein that assembles into a barrel-like, "nanocapsule" enclosing poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, telomerase-associated protein-1 and small untranslated RNAs. Overall, the molecular mass of vault particles amounts to about 13 MDa. Although it has been implicated in several cellular functions, its physiological roles remain poorly understood. Also, the possibility to exploit it as a nanovector for drug delivery is currently being explored in several laboratories. METHODS Using the baculovirus expression system, vaults were expressed and purified by a dialysis step using a 1 MDa molecular weight cutoff membrane and a subsequent size exclusion chromatography. Purity was assessed by SDS-PAGE, transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Particle's endocytic uptake was monitored by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. RESULTS The purification protocol here reported is far simpler and faster than those currently available and lead to the production of authentic vault. We then demonstrated its clathrin-mediated endocytic uptake by normal fibroblast and glioblastoma, but not carcinoma cell lines. In contrast, no significant caveolin-mediated endocytosis was detected. CONCLUSIONS These results provide the first evidence for an intrinsic propensity of the vault complex to undergo endocytic uptake cultured eukaryotic cells. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The newly developed purification procedure will greatly facilitate any investigation based on the use of the vault particle as a natural nanocarrier. Its clathrin-mediated endocytic uptake observed in normal and in some tumor cell lines sheds light on its physiological role.

Abstract
The chaperonin thermosome (THS) is a protein cage that lacks binding sites for metal ions and inorganic nanoparticles. However, when poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) is encapsulated into THS, gold nanoparticles (AuNP) can be prepared in the THS. The polymer binds HAuCl4. Subsequent reduction yields nanoparticles with narrow size distribution in the protein-polymer conjugate.

Abstract
Protein-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (mNPs) are promising tools for a variety of biomedical applications, from immunoassays and biosensors to theranostics and drug-delivery. In such applications, conjugation of affinity proteins (e.g., antibodies) to the nanoparticle surface many times compromises biological activity and specificity, leading to increased reagent consumption and decreased assay performance. To address this problem, we engineered a biomolecular magnetic separation system that eliminates the need to chemically modify nanoparticles with the capture biomolecules or synthetic polymers of any kind. The system consists of (i) thermoresponsive magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles displaying poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm), and (ii) an elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) fused with the affinity protein Cohesin (Coh). Proper design of pNIPAm-mNPs and ELP-Coh allowed for efficient cross-aggregation of the two distinct nanoparticle types under collapsing stimuli, which enabled magnetic separation of ELP-Coh aggregates bound to target Dockerin (Doc) molecules. Selective resolubilization of the ELP-Coh/Doc complexes was achieved under intermediate conditions under which only the pNIPAm-mNPs remained aggregated. We show that ELP-Coh is capable of magnetically separating and purifying nanomolar quantities of Doc as well as eukaryotic whole cells displaying the complementary Doc domain from diluted human plasma. This modular system provides magnetic enrichment and purification of captured molecular targets and eliminates the requirement of biofunctionalization of magnetic nanoparticles to achieve bioseparations. Our streamlined and simplified approach is amenable for point-of-use applications and brings the advantages of ELP-fusion proteins to the realm of magnetic particle separation systems.

Abstract
The innate ability of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) thermo-responsive hydrogel to copolymerize and to graft synthetic polymers and biomolecules, in conjunction with the highly controlled methods of radical polymerization which are now available, have expedited the widespread number of papers published in the last decade-especially in the biomedical field. Therefore, PNIPAAm-based hydrogels are extensively investigated for applications on the controlled delivery of active molecules, in self-healing materials, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, or in the smart encapsulation of cells. The most promising polymers for biodegradability enhancement of PNIPAAm hydrogels are probably poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and/or poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), whereas the biocompatibility is mostly achieved with biopolymers. Ultimately, advances in three-dimensional bioprinting technology would contribute to the design of new devices and medical tools with thermal stimuli response needs, fabricated with PNIPAAm hydrogels.

Abstract
Vault nanoparticles represent promising vehicles for drug and probe delivery. Innately found within human cells, vaults are stable, biocompatible nanocapsules possessing an internal volume that can encapsulate hundreds to thousands of molecules. They can also be targeted. Unlike most nanoparticles, vaults are nonimmunogenic and monodispersed and can be rapidly produced in insect cells. Efforts to create vaults with modified properties have been, to date, almost entirely limited to recombinant bioengineering approaches. Here we report a systematic chemical study of covalent vault modifications, directed at tuning vault properties for research and clinical applications, such as imaging, targeted delivery, and enhanced cellular uptake. As supra-macromolecular structures, vaults contain thousands of derivatizable amino acid side chains. This study is focused on establishing the comparative selectivity and efficiency of chemically modifying vault lysine and cysteine residues, using Michael additions, nucleophilic substitutions, and disulfide exchange reactions. We also report a strategy that converts the more abundant vault lysine residues to readily functionalizable thiol terminated side chains through treatment with 2-iminothiolane (Traut's reagent). These studies provide a method to doubly modify vaults with cell penetrating peptides and imaging agents, allowing for in vitro studies on their enhanced uptake into cells.

Abstract
Protein nanocages have been explored as potential carriers in biomedicine. Formed by the self-assembly of protein subunits, the caged structure has three surfaces that can be engineered: the interior, the exterior and the intersubunit. Therapeutic and diagnostic molecules have been loaded in the interior of nanocages, while their external surfaces have been engineered to enhance their biocompatibility and targeting abilities. Modifications of the intersubunit interactions have been shown to modulate the self-assembly profile with implications for tuning the molecular release. We review natural and synthetic protein nanocages that have been modified using chemical and genetic engineering techniques to impart non-natural functions that are responsive to the complex cellular microenvironment of malignant cells while delivering molecular cargos with improved efficiencies and minimal toxicity.

Abstract
Protein cages, such as viruses, are well-defined biological nanostructures which are highly symmetrical and monodisperse. They are found in various shapes and sizes and can encapsulate or template non-native materials. Furthermore, the proteins can be chemically or genetically modified giving them new properties. For these reasons, these protein structures have received increasing attention in the field of polymer-protein hybrid materials over the past years, however, advances are still to be made. This Viewpoint highlights the different ways polymers and protein cages or their subunits have been combined to understand self-assembly and create functional materials.

Abstract
Protein-polymer conjugates are of particular interest for nanobiotechnology applications because of the various and complementary roles that each component may play in composite hybrid-materials. This chapter focuses on the design principles and applications of self-assembling protein-polymer conjugate materials. We address the general design methodology, from both synthetic and genetic perspective, conjugation strategies, protein vs. polymer driven self-assembly and finally, emerging applications for conjugate materials. By marrying proteins and polymers into conjugated bio-hybrid materials, materials scientists, chemists, and biologists alike, have at their fingertips a vast toolkit for material design. These inherently hierarchical structures give rise to useful patterning, mechanical and transport properties that may help realize new, more efficient materials for energy generation, catalysis, nanorobots, etc.

Abstract
One-component nanomedicine (OCN) represents an emerging class of therapeutic nanostructures that contain only one type of chemical substance. This one-component feature allows for fine-tuning and optimization of the drug loading and physicochemical properties of nanomedicine in a precise manner through molecular engineering of the underlying building blocks. Using a precipitation procedure or effective molecular assembly strategies, molecularly crafted therapeutic agents (e.g. polymer-drug conjugates, small molecule prodrugs, or drug amphiphiles) could involuntarily aggregate, or self-assemble into nanoscale objects of well-defined sizes and shapes. Unlike traditional carrier-based nanomedicines that are inherently multicomponent systems, an OCN does not require the use of additional carriers and could itself possess desired physicochemical features for preferential accumulation at target sites. We review here recent progress in the molecular design, conjugation methods, and fabrication strategies of OCN, and analyze the opportunities that this emerging platform could open for the new and improved treatment of devastating diseases such as cancer.

Abstract
Multiply responsive protein nanoparticles are interesting for a variety of applications. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a vault nanoparticle that responds to both temperature and pH. Specifically, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) with a pyridyl disulfide end group was prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymer had a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of 31.9 °C at pH 5, 44.0 °C at pH 6 and above 60 °C at pH 7. The polymer was conjugated to human major vault protein (hMVP), and the resulting nanoparticle was analyzed by UV-Vis, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electron microscopy. The data demonstrated that poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid)-vault conjugate did not respond to temperatures below 60 °C at pH 7, while the nanoparticles reversibly aggregated at pH 6. Furthermore, it was shown that the vault nanoparticle structure remained intact for at least three heat and cooling cycles. Thus, these dually responsive nanoparticles may serve as a platform for drug delivery and other applications.

Abstract
A homogeneous reaction system was developed for facile and highly efficient enrichment of biomolecules by exploiting the reversible self-assembly of a stimuli-responsive polymer.
Liquid phase homogeneous reactions using soluble polymer supports have found numerous applications in homogeneous catalysis and organic synthesis because of their advantages of no interface mass transfer limitation and a high conversion rate. However, their application in analytical separation is limited by the inefficient/inconvenient recovery of the target molecules from the extremely complex biological samples. Here, we report a stimuli-responsive polymer system for facile and efficient enrichment of trace amounts of biomolecules from complex biological samples. The soluble polymer supports provide a homogeneous reaction system with fast mass transfer and facilitate interactions between the supports and the target molecules. More importantly, the stimuli-responsive polymers exhibit reversible self-assembly and phase separation under pH variations, which leads to facial sample recovery with a high yield of the target biomolecules. The stimuli-responsive polymer is successfully applied to the enrichment of low abundant N-glycoproteins/glycopeptides, which play crucial roles in various key biological processes in mammals and are closely correlated with the occurrence, progression and metastasis of cancer. N-Glycoprotein is coupled to the stimuli-responsive polymer using the reported hydrazide chemistry with pre-oxidation of the oligosaccharide structure. Highly efficient enrichment of N-glycoproteins/N-glycopeptides with >95% conversion rate is achieved within 1 h, which is eight times faster than using solid/insoluble hydrazide enrichment materials. Mass spectrometry analysis achieves low femtomolar identification sensitivity and obtained 1317 N-glycopeptides corresponding to 458 N-glycoproteins in mouse brain, which is more than twice the amount obtained after enrichment using commercial solid/insoluble materials. These results demonstrate the capability of this “smart” polymer system to combine stimuli-responsive and target-enrichment moieties to achieve improved identification of key biological and disease related biomolecules.

Abstract
Water-soluble bioadhesive polymers bearing multiple guanidinium ion (Gu+) pendants at their side-chain termini (Glue n -BA, n = 10 and 29) that were conjugated with benzamidine (BA) as a trypsin inhibitor were developed. The Glue n -BA molecules are supposed to adhere to oxyanionic regions of the trypsin surface, even in buffer, via a multivalent Gu+/oxyanion salt-bridge interaction, such that their BA group properly blocks the substrate-binding site. In fact, Glue10-BA and Glue29-BA exhibited 35- and 200-fold higher affinities for trypsin, respectively, than a BA derivative without the glue moiety (TEG-BA). Most importantly, Glue10-BA inhibited the protease activity of trypsin 13-fold more than TEG-BA. In sharp contrast, m Glue27-BA, which bears 27 Gu+ units along the main chain and has a 5-fold higher affinity than TEG-BA for trypsin, was inferior even to TEG-BA for trypsin inhibition.

Abstract
![]()
Polyurea-based synthetic glycopolymers
containing sulfated glucose,
mannose, glucosamine, or lactose as pendant groups have been synthesized
by step-growth polymerization of hexamethylene diisocyanate and corresponding
secondary diamines. The obtained polymers were characterized by gel
permeation chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy,
and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The nonsulfated polymers
showed similar results to the commercially available biomaterial polyurethane
TECOFLEX in a platelet adhesion assay. The average degree of sulfation
after reaction with SO3 was calculated from elemental analysis
and found to be between three and four −OSO3 groups
per saccharide. The blood-compatibility of the synthetic polymers
was measured using activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin
time, thrombin time, anti-IIa, and anti-Xa assays. Activated partial
thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, and thrombin time results indicated
that the mannose and lactose based polymers had the highest anticoagulant
activities among all the sulfated polymers. The mechanism of action
of the polymers appears to be mediated via an anti-IIa pathway rather
than an anti-Xa pathway.

Abstract
We report the development of thermoresponsive magnetic hydrogels based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) encapsulation of Fe3O4 magnetic nanostructures (MNS). In particular, we examined the effects of hydrogels encapsulated with poly-ethylene glycol (PEG) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) surface modified Fe3O4 MNS on magnetic resonance (MR) T2 (transverse spin relaxation) contrast enhancement and associated delivery efficacy of absorbed therapeutic cargo. The microstructural characterization reveal the regular spherical shape and size (∼200 nm) of the hydrogels with elevated hydrophilic to hydrophobic transition temperature (∼40 °C) characterized by LCST (lower critical solution temperature) due to the presence of encapsulated MNS. The hydrogel-MNS (HGMNS) system encapsulated with PEG functionalized Fe3O4 of 12 nm size (HGMNS-PEG-12) exhibited relaxivity rate (r2) of 173 mM(-1) s(-1) compared to 129 mM(-1) s(-1) obtained for hydrogel-MNS system encapsulated with POSS functionalized Fe3O4 (HGMNS-POSS-12) of the same size. Further studies with HGMNS-PEG-12 with absorbed drug doxorubicin (DOX) reveals approximately two-fold enhance in release during 1 h RF (radio-frequency) field exposure followed by 24 h incubation at 37 °C. Quantitatively, it is 2.1 μg mg(-1) (DOX/HGMNS) DOX release with RF exposure while only 0.9 μg mg(-1) release without RF exposure for the same period of incubation. Such enhanced release of therapeutic cargo is attributed to micro-environmental heating in the surroundings of MNS as well as magneto-mechanical vibrations under high frequency RF inside hydrogels. Similarly, RF-induced in vitro localized drug delivery studies with HeLa cell lines for HGMNS-PEG-12 resulted in more than 80% cell death with RF field exposures for 1 h. We therefore believe that magnetic hydrogel system has in vivo theranostic potential given high MR contrast enhancement from encapsulated MNS and RF-induced localized therapeutic delivery in one nanoconstruct.
