Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation caused by a bacterial infection and is intimately associated with an overactive immune response. Biomaterials are being utilized more frequently in periodontal therapy due to their designability and unique drug delivery system. However, local and systemic immune response reactions driven by the implantation of biomaterials could result in inflammation, tissue damage, and fibrosis, which could end up with the failure of the implantation. Therefore, immunological adjustment of biomaterials through precise design can reduce the host reaction while eliminating the periodontal tissue's long-term chronic inflammation response. It is important to note that macrophages are an active immune system component that can participate in the progression of periodontal disease through intricate polarization mechanisms. And modulating macrophage polarization by designing biomaterials has emerged as a new periodontal therapy technique. In this review, we discuss the role of macrophages in periodontitis and typical strategies for polarizing macrophages with biomaterials. Subsequently, we discuss the challenges and potential opportunities of using biomaterials to manipulate periodontal macrophages to facilitate periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
The presence of hierarchical suppressive pathways in the immune system combined with poor delivery efficiencies of adjuvants and antigens to antigen-presenting cells are major challenges in developing advanced vaccines. The present study reports a nanoadjuvant constructed using aluminosilicate nanoparticles (as particle templates), incorporating cytosine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) oligonucleotides and small-interfering RNA (siRNA) to counteract immune suppression in antigen-presenting cells. Furthermore, the application of a metal-phenolic network (MPN) coating, which can endow the nanoparticles with protective and bioadhesive properties, is assessed with regard to the stability and immune function of the resulting nanoadjuvant in vitro and in vivo. Combining the adjuvanticity of aluminum and CpG with RNA interference and MPN coating results in a nanoadjuvant that exhibits greater accumulation in lymph nodes and elicits improved maturation of dendritic cells in comparison to a formulation without siRNA or MPN, and with no observable organ toxicity. The incorporation of a model antigen, ovalbumin, within the MPN coating demonstrates the capacity of MPNs to load functional biomolecules as well as the ability of the nanoadjuvant to trigger enhanced antigen-specific responses. The present template-assisted fabrication strategy for engineering nanoadjuvants holds promise in the design of delivery systems for disease prevention, as well as therapeutics.

Abstract
Current antigen delivery platforms, such as alum and nanoparticles, are not readily tunable, thus may not generate optimal adaptive immune responses. We created an antigen delivery platform by loading lyophilized Microporous Annealed Particle (MAP) with aqueous solution containing target antigens. Upon administration of antigen loaded MAP (VaxMAP), the biomaterial reconstitution forms an instant antigen-loaded porous scaffold area with a sustained release profile to maximize humoral immunity. VaxMAP induced CD4+ T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and germinal center (GC) B cell responses in the lymph nodes similar to Alum. VaxMAP loaded with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein improved the magnitude, neutralization, and duration of anti-receptor binding domain antibodies compared to Alum vaccinated mice. A single injection of Influenza specific HA1-loaded-VaxMAP enhanced neutralizing antibodies and elicited greater protection against influenza virus challenge than HA1-loaded-Alum. Thus, VaxMAP is a platform that can be used to promote adaptive immune cell responses to generate more robust neutralizing antibodies, and better protection upon pathogen challenge.

Abstract
A major challenge for the regeneration of chronic wounds is an underlying dysregulation of signaling molecules, including inflammatory cytokines and growth factors. To address this, it is proposed to use granular biomaterials composed of jammed microgels, to enable the rapid uptake and delivery of biomolecules, and provide a strategy to locally sequester and release biomolecules. Sequestration assays on model biomolecules of different sizes demonstrate that granular hydrogels exhibit faster transport than comparable bulk hydrogels due to enhanced surface area and decreased diffusion lengths. To demonstrate the potential of modular granular hydrogels to modulate local biomolecule concentrations, microgel scaffolds are engineered that can simultaneously sequester excess pro-inflammatory factors and release pro-healing factors. To target specific biomolecules, microgels are functionalized with affinity ligands that bind either to interleukin 6 (IL-6) or to vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). Finally, disparate microgels are combined into a single granular biomaterial for simultaneous sequestration of IL-6 and release of VEGF-A. Overall, the potential of modular granular hydrogels is demonstrated to locally tailor the relative concentrations of pro- and anti-inflammatory factors.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global pandemic since its onset in 2019, and the development of effective vaccines for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to induce potent and long-lasting immunity remains a priority. Herein, we prepared two Lactobacillus exopolysaccharide (EPS) nanoparticle adjuvants (NPs 7-4 and NPs 8-2) that were constructed by using sulfation-modified EPS and quaternization-modified chitosan. These two NPs displayed a spherical morphology with sizes of 39 and 47 nm. Furthermore, the zeta potentials of NPs 7-4 and NPs 8-2 were 50.40 and 44.40 mV, respectively. In vitro assays demonstrated that NPs could effectively adsorb antigenic proteins and exhibited a sustained release effect. Mouse immunization tests showed that the NPs induced the expression of cytokines and chemokines at the injection site and promoted the uptake of antigenic proteins by macrophages. Mechanically, the NPs upregulated the expression of pattern recognition receptors (toll-like receptors and nod-like receptors) and activated the immune response of T cells and the production of neutralizing antibodies. In addition, the NP adjuvants had favorable immune-enhancing effects in cats, which are of great significance for controlling the trans-host transmission and re-endemicity of SARS-CoV-2. Overall, we demonstrated that NP-adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain proteins could induce robust specific humoral and cellular immunity.

Abstract
Systemic exposure to starch-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) can stimulate antitumor T cell responses, even when little IONP is retained within the tumor. Here, we demonstrate in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer that IONPs can alter the host immune landscape, leading to systemic immune-mediated disease suppression. We report that a single intravenous injection of IONPs can inhibit primary tumor growth, suppress metastases, and extend survival. Gene expression analysis revealed the activation of Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathways involving signaling via Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor domain-containing adaptor-inducing IFN-β (TRIF), a TLR pathway adaptor protein. Requisite participation of TRIF in suppressing tumor progression was demonstrated with histopathologic evidence of upregulated IFN-regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), a downstream protein, and confirmed in a TRIF knockout syngeneic mouse model of metastatic breast cancer. Neither starch-coated polystyrene nanoparticles lacking iron, nor iron-containing dextran-coated parenteral iron replacement agent, induced significant antitumor effects, suggesting a dependence on the type of IONP formulation. Analysis of multiple independent clinical databases supports a hypothesis that upregulation of TLR3 and IRF3 correlates with increased overall survival among breast cancer patients. Taken together, these data support a compelling rationale to re-examine IONP formulations as harboring anticancer immune (nano)adjuvant properties to generate a therapeutic benefit without requiring uptake by cancer cells.

Abstract
Despite recent clinical successes in cancer immunotherapy, it remains difficult to initiate a long-term anti-tumor effect. Therefore, repeated administrations of immune-activating agents are generally required in most cases. Herein, we propose an adjuvant particle size tuning strategy to initiate a long-term anti-tumor effect by one-shot vaccination. This strategy is based on the size-dependent immunostimulation mechanism of mesoporous silica particles. Hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) nanoparticles enhance the antigen uptake with dendritic cells around the immunization site in vivo. In contrast, hierarchically porous silica (HPS) microparticles prolong cancer antigen retention and release in vivo. The size tuning of the mesoporous silica adjuvant prepared by combining both nanoparticles and microparticles demonstrates the immunological properties of both components and has a long-term anti-tumor effect after one-shot vaccination. One-shot vaccination with HMS-HPS-ovalbumin (OVA)-Poly IC (PIC, a TLR3 agonist) increases CD4+ T cell, CD8+ T cell, and CD86+ cell populations in draining lymph nodes even 4 months after vaccination, as well as effector memory CD8+ T cell and tumor-specific tetramer+CD8+ T cell populations in splenocytes. The increases in the numbers of effector memory CD8+ T cells and tumor-specific tetramer+CD8+ T cells indicate that the one-shot vaccination with HMS-HPS-OVA-PIC achieved the longest survival time after a challenge with E.G7-OVA cells among all groups. The size tuning of the mesoporous silica adjuvant shows promise for one-shot vaccination that mimics multiple clinical vaccinations in future cancer immunoadjuvant development. This study may have important implications in the long-term vaccine design of one-shot vaccinations.

Abstract
The healing of diabetic wounds is hindered by various factors, including bacterial infection, macrophage dysfunction, excess proinflammatory cytokines, high levels of reactive oxygen species, and sustained hypoxia. These factors collectively impede cellular behaviors and the healing process. Consequently, this review presents intelligent hydrogels equipped with multifunctional capacities, which enable them to dynamically respond to the microenvironment and accelerate wound healing in various ways, including stimuli -responsiveness, injectable self-healing, shape -memory, and conductive and real-time monitoring properties. The relationship between the multiple functions and wound healing is also discussed. Based on the microenvironment of diabetic wounds, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and pro-angiogenic strategies are combined with multifunctional hydrogels. The application of multifunctional hydrogels in the repair of diabetic wounds is systematically discussed, aiming to provide guidelines for fabricating hydrogels for diabetic wound healing and exploring the role of intelligent hydrogels in the therapeutic processes.

Abstract
Understanding the intracellular behaviors of nanomedicines and morphology variation of subcellular architecture impacted by nanomaterial-biology (nano-bio) interactions could help guide the safe-by-design, manufacturing and evaluation of nanomedicines for clinical translation. The in situ and label-free analysis of nano-bio interactions in intact single cells at nanoscale remains challenging. We developed an approach based on X-ray microscopy to directly visualize the 2D or 3D intracellular distribution without labeling at nanometer resolution and analyze the chemical transformation of nanomedicines in situ. Here, we describe an optimized workflow for cell sample preparation, beamline selection, data acquisition and analysis. With several model bionanomaterials as examples, we analyze the localization of nanomedicines in various primary blood cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, monocytes and cancer cells, as well as the morphology of some organelles with soft and hard X-rays. Our protocol has been successfully implemented at three beamline facilities: 4W1A of Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility, BL08U1A of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility and BL07W of the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. This protocol can be completed in ~2-5 d, depending on the cell types, their incubation times with nanomaterials and the selected X-ray beamline. The protocol enables the in situ analysis of the varieties of metal-containing nanomaterials, visualization of intracellular endocytosis, distribution and excretion and corresponding subcellular morphological variation influenced by nanomedicines in cell lines or primary cells by using this universal and robust platform. The results facilitate the understanding of the true principle and mechanism underlying the nano-bio interaction.

Abstract
Immunotherapy that aims to boost the body's immune responses against pathogens or diseased cells has achieved significant progress for treating different diseases over the past several decades, especially with the success of checkpoint blockades, chimeric antigen receptor T therapy, and cancer vaccines in clinical cancer treatment. Effective immunotherapy necessitates the generation of potent and persistent humoral and T-cell responses, which lies in the ability of modulating and guiding antigen-presenting cells to prime antigen-specific T and B cells in the lymphoid tissues, notably in the lymph nodes proximal to the disease site. To this end, various types of strategies have been developed to facilitate the delivery of immunomodulatory agents to immune cells (e.g. dendritic cells and T cells) in the lymph nodes. Among them, intranodal injection enables the direct exposure of immunomodulators to immune cells in lymph nodes, but is limited by the technical challenge and intrinsic invasiveness. To address, multiple passive and active lymph node-targeting technologies have been developed. In this review, we will provide an overview of different lymph node-targeting technologies developed to date, as well as the mechanism and merits of each approach.

Abstract
Nanovaccine-based immunotherapy has been considered as a major pillar to stimulate the host immune system to recognize and eradicate tumor cells as well as establish a long-term immune memory to prevent tumor relapse and metastasis. However, the weak specificity and low cross-presentation of antigens, as well as the immunosuppressive microenvironments of tumor tissues, are still the major obstacles on exerting the therapeutic performance of tumor nanovaccines sufficiently. Herein, we design and construct cytosine guanine dinucleotide (CpG) oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN)-loaded aluminum hydroxyphosphate nanoparticles covered by Fe-Shikonin metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) (Alum-CpG@Fe-Shikonin NPs) as personalized in situ nanovaccines for antitumor immunity. Upon internalization by tumor cells, the shell of Fe-Shikonin MPNs will disassemble into Fe2+ and Shikonin to elicit the immunogenic cell death of tumor cells through ferroptosis and necroptosis. Then, dying tumor cell-released autologous tumor cell lysates will be absorbed by Alum NPs and codelivered with CpG ODN to professional antigen-presenting cells temporally and spatially to activate multistep cascade antitumor immune responses, including dendritic cell maturation, antigen cross-presentation, natural killer cell and cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltrations, and tumor-associated macrophage repolarization. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of Alum NPs, CpG ODN, and Fe-Shikonin MPNs, our Alum-CpG@Fe-Shikonin NPs exhibit drastic cytotoxicity and accurate selectivity on eradicating primary tumor, strong abscopal effect on inhibiting distant tumor, and a long-term immune memory effect on preventing tumor metastasis and recurrence. Because our report provides a feasible strategy to in situ make full use of autologous tumor cell lysates, which present an entire spectrum of the patient's personal epitopes without complicated ex vivo processes, such as extraction, purification, and sequencing, it may promote the development of personalized nanovaccines for antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Tissue infection typically results from blood transmission or the direct inoculation of bacteria following trauma. The pathogen-induced destruction of tissue prevents antibiotics from penetrating the infected site, and severe inflammation further impairs the efficacy of conventional treatment. The current study describes the size-dependent induction of macrophage polarization using gold nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles with a diameter of 50 nm (Au50) can induce M2 polarization in macrophages by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway and stimulate an inflammatory response in the environment by inhibiting the MAPK signaling pathway LPS. Furthermore, the induced polarization and anti-inflammatory effects of the Au50 nanoparticles promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro. In addition, the overexpression of TREM2 in macrophage induced by Au50 nanoparticles was found to promote macrophage phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus, enhance the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes, accelerate the intracellular degradation of S. aureus, in addition to achieving an effective local treatment of osteomyelitis and infectious skin defects in conjunction with inflammatory regulation and accelerating bone regeneration. The findings, therefore, demonstrate that Au50 nanoparticles can be utilized as a promising nanomaterial for in vivo treatment of infections.

Abstract
The development of biomaterial platforms for dispensing reagents of interest such as antioxidants, growth factors or antibiotics based on functional hydrogels represents a biotechnological solution for many challenges that the biomedicine field is facing. In this context, in situ dosing of therapeutic components for dermatological injuries such as diabetic foot ulcers is a relatively novel strategy to improve the wound healing process. Hydrogels have shown more comfort for the treatment of wounds due to their smooth surface and moisture, as well as their structural affinity with tissues in comparison to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, ultrasound, and electromagnetic therapies, negative pressure wound therapy or skin grafts. Macrophages, one of the most important cells of the innate immune system, have been described as the key not only in relation to the host immune defense, but also in the progress of wound healing. Macrophage dysfunction in chronic wounds of diabetic patients leads to a perpetuating inflammatory environment and impairs tissue repair. Modulating the macrophage phenotype from pro-inflammatory (M1) to anti-inflammatory (M2) could be a strategy for helping to improve chronic wound healing. In this regard, a new paradigm is found in the development of advanced biomaterials capable of inducing in situ macrophage polarization to offer an approach to wound care. Such an approach opens a new direction for the development of multifunctional materials in regenerative medicine. This paper surveys emerging hydrogel materials and bioactive compounds being investigated to induce the immunomodulation of macrophages. We propose four potential functional biomaterials for wound healing applications based on novel biomaterial/bioactive compound combination that are expected to show synergistic beneficial outcomes for the local differentiation of macrophages (M1-M2) as a therapeutic strategy for chronic wound healing improvement.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has developed rapidly, giving rise to "nanovaccinology". In particular, protein-based nanocarriers have gained widespread attention because of their excellent biocompatibility. As the development of flexible and rapid vaccines is challenging, modular extensible nanoparticles are urgently needed. In this study, a multifunctional nanocarrier capable of delivering various biomolecules (including polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids) was designed by fusing the cholera toxin B subunit with streptavidin. Then, the nanocarrier was used to prepare a bioconjugate nanovaccine against S. flexneri by co-delivery of antigens and CpG adjuvants. Subsequent experimental results indicated that the nanovaccine with multiple components could stimulate both adaptive and innate immunity. Moreover, combining nanocarriers and CpG adjuvants with glycan antigens could improve the survival of vaccinated mice during the interval of two vaccination injections. The multifunctional nanocarrier and the design strategy demonstrated in this study could be utilized in the development of many other nanovaccines against infectious diseases.

Abstract
The precise regulation of interactions of specific immunological components is crucial for controllable immunomodulation, yet it remains a great challenge. With the assistance of advanced computer design, programmable nucleic acid nanotechnology enables the customization of synthetic nucleic acid nanodevices with unprecedented geometrical and functional precision, which have shown promising potential for precise immunoengineering. Notably, the inherently immunologic functions of nucleic acids endow these nucleic acid-based assemblies with innate advantages in immunomodulatory engagement. In this review, the roles of nucleic acids in innate immunity are discussed, focusing on the definition, immunologic modularity, and enhanced bioavailability of structural nucleic acid nanodevices. In light of this, molecular programming and precise organization of functional modules with nucleic acid nanodevices for immunomodulation are emphatically reviewed. At last, the present challenges and future perspectives of nucleic acid nanodevices for immunomodulation are discussed.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer ranks fifth in cancer deaths amongst women, and most patients are diagnosed with late-stage and disseminated diseases. Surgical debulking and chemotherapy remove most of the tumor burden and provide a short period of remission; however, most patients experience cancer relapse and eventually succumb to the disease. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of vaccines to prime anti-tumor immunity and prevent its recurrence. Here we developed vaccine formulations composed of a mixture of irradiated cancer cells (ICCs, providing the antigen) and cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) adjuvants. More specifically we compared the efficacy of co-formulated vs. mixtures of ICCs and CPMV. Specifically, we compared co-formulations where the ICCs and CPMV are bonded through natural CPMV-cell interactions or chemical coupling vs. mixtures of PEGylated CPMV and ICCs, where PEGylation of CPMV prevents ICC interactions. Flow cytometry and confocal imaging provided insights into the composition of the vaccines and their efficacy was tested using a mouse model of disseminated ovarian cancer. 67% of the mice receiving the co-formulated CPMV-ICCs survived the initial tumor challenge, and 60% of the surviving mice rejected tumors in a re-challenge experiment. In stark contrast, simple mixtures of the ICCs and (PEGylated) CPMV adjuvants were ineffective. Overall, this study highlights the importance of the co-delivery of cancer antigens and adjuvants in ovarian cancer vaccine development.

[PMID: 36925704 PMCID: PMC10013829 DOI: 10.1002/btm2.10402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Diabetic patients are prone to developing chronic inflammation after trauma and have persistent nonhealing wounds. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and recurrent bacterial infections at the site of long-term wounds also further delay skin wound healing and tissue regeneration. In this study, a granular gel (which exhibits ROS scavenging and antibacterial properties) is fabricated based on hyaluronic acid-g-lipoic acid (HA-LA). Briefly, HA-LA is synthesized to fabricate HA-LA microgels, which are further assembled by Ag+ via its coordination effect with disulfide in dithiolane to form a granular gel. The extrudable bulk granular gel possesses a shear-thinning feature and is immediately restored to a solid state after extrusion, and this can be easily applied to the whole wound area. Therefore, the grafted LA not only allows for the construction of the granular gel but also removes excess ROS from the microenvironment. Additionally, the presence of Ag+ realizes the assembly of microgels and has antibacterial effects. In vivo experiments show that the HA-LA granular gel eliminates excessive ROS at the wound site and up-regulates the secretion of reparative growth factors, thus, accelerating common and diabetic wound healing significantly. Therefore, the ROS-scavenging granular gel that can be applied to the wound surface with chronic inflammation demonstrates strong clinical utility.

Abstract
The successful clinical application of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) therapeutics has attracted extensive attention to immunotherapy, however, their drawbacks such as limited specificity, persistence and toxicity haven't met the high expectations on efficient cancer treatments. Therapeutic cancer vaccines which instruct the immune system to capture tumor specific antigens, generate long-term immune memory and specifically eliminate cancer cells gradually become the most promising strategies to eradicate tumor. However, the disadvantages of some existing vaccines such as weak immunogenicity and in vivo instability have restricted their development. Nanotechnology has been recently incorporated into vaccine fabrication and exhibited promising results for cancer immunotherapy. Nanoparticles promote the stability of vaccines, as well as enhance antigen recognition and presentation owing to their nanometer size which promotes internalization of antigens by phagocytic cells. The surface modification with targeting units further permits the delivery of vaccines to specific cells. Meanwhile, nanocarriers with adjuvant effect can improve the efficacy of vaccines. In addition to classic vaccines composed of antigens and adjuvants, the nanoparticle-mediated chemotherapy, radiotherapy and certain other therapeutics could induce the release of tumor antigens in situ, which therefore effectively simulate antitumor immune responses. Such vaccine-like nanomedicine not only kills primary tumors, but also prevents tumor recurrence and helps eliminate metastatic tumors. Herein, we introduce recent developments in nanoparticle-based delivery systems for antigen delivery and in situ antitumor vaccination. We will also discuss the remaining opportunities and challenges of nanovaccine in clinical translation towards cancer treatment.

Abstract
As an interesting cancer immunotherapy approach, cancer vaccines have been developed to deliver tumor antigens and adjuvants to antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Although the safety and easy production shifted the vaccine designing platforms toward the subunit vaccines, their efficacy is limited due to inefficient vaccine delivery. Nanotechnology-based vaccines, called nanovaccines, address the delivery limitations through co-delivery of antigens and adjuvants into lymphoid organs and APCs and their intracellular release, leading to cross-presentation of antigens and induction of potent anti-tumor immune responses. Although the nanovaccines, either as encapsulating agents or biomimetic nanoparticles, exert the desired anti-tumor activities, there is evidence that the mixing formulation to form nanocomplexes between antigens and adjuvants based on the electrostatic interactions provokes high levels of immune responses owing to Ags' availability and faster release. Here, we summarized the various platforms for developing cancer vaccines and the advantages of using delivery systems. The cancer nanovaccines, including nanoparticle-based and biomimetic-based nanovaccines, are discussed in detail. Finally, we focused on the nanocomplexes formation between antigens and adjuvants as promising cancer nanovaccine platforms.

Abstract
Current immunotherapies aim to modulate the balance among different immune cell populations, thereby controlling immune reactions. However, they often cause immune overactivation or over-suppression, which makes them difficult to control. Thus, it would be ideal to manipulate immune cells at a local site without disturbing homeostasis elsewhere in the body. Recent technological developments have enabled the selective targeting of cells and tissues in the body. Photo-targeted specific cell therapy has recently emerged among these. Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) has surfaced as a new modality for cancer treatment, which combines antibodies and a photoabsorber, IR700DX. NIR-PIT is in testing as an international phase III clinical trial for locoregional recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients (LUZERA-301, NCT03769506), with a fast-track designation by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA). In Japan, NIR-PIT for patients with recurrent head and neck cancer was conditionally approved in 2020. Although NIR-PIT is commonly used for cancer therapy, it could also be exploited to locally eliminate certain immune cells with antibodies for a specific immune cell marker. This strategy can be utilized for anti-allergic therapy. Herein, we discuss the recent technological advances in local immunomodulation technology. We introduce immunomodulation technology with NIR-PIT and demonstrate an example of the knockdown of regulatory T cells (Tregs) to enhance local anti-tumor immune reactions.

Synthetic Melanin Acts as Efficient Peptide Carrier in Cancer Vaccine Strategy. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232314975. [PMID: 36499300 PMCID: PMC9738778 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232314975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
We previously reported that a novel peptide vaccine platform, based on synthetic melanin nanoaggregates, triggers strong cytotoxic immune responses and significantly suppresses tumor growth in mice. However, the mechanisms underlying such an efficacy remained poorly described. Herein, we investigated the role of dendritic cells (DCs) in presenting the antigen embedded in the vaccine formulation, as well as the potential stimulatory effect of melanin upon these cells, in vitro by coculture experiments and ELISA/flow cytometry analysis. The vaccine efficiency was evaluated in FLT3-L-/- mice constitutively deficient in DC1, DC2, and pDCs, in Zbtb46DTR chimera mice deficient in DC1 and DC2, and in LangerinDTR mice deficient in dermal DC1 and Langerhans cells. We concluded that DCs, and especially migratory conventional type 1 dendritic cells, seem crucial for mounting the immune response after melanin-based vaccination. We also assessed the protective effect of L-DOPA melanin on peptides from enzymatic digestion, as well as the biodistribution of melanin-peptide nanoaggregates, after subcutaneous injection using [18F]MEL050 PET imaging in mice. L-DOPA melanin proved to act as an efficient carrier for peptides by fully protecting them from enzymatic degradation. L-DOPA melanin did not display any direct stimulatory effects on dendritic cells in vitro. Using PET imaging, we detected melanin-peptide nanoaggregates up to three weeks after subcutaneous injections within the secondary lymphoid tissues, which could explain the sustained immune response observed (up to 4 months) with this vaccine technology.

Abstract
Vaccination is still the most cost-effective way to combat infectious illnesses. Conventional vaccinations may have low immunogenicity and, in most situations, only provide partial protection. A new class of nanoparticle-based vaccinations has shown considerable promise in addressing the majority of the shortcomings of traditional and subunit vaccines. This is due to recent breakthroughs in chemical and biological engineering, which allow for the exact regulation of nanoparticle size, shape, functionality, and surface characteristics, resulting in improved antigen presentation and robust immunogenicity. A blend of physicochemical, immunological, and toxicological experiments can be used to accurately characterize nanovaccines. This narrative review will provide an overview of the current scenario of the nanovaccine.

Abstract
Cell-based therapies hold significant advantages in comparison with the traditional drug-based or injection-based treatments. However, for long-term functional cellular implants, immune acceptance must be established. To accomplish the acceptance of the implanted cells, various biomaterial systems have been studied. Nanogels have shown great potential for modulation of cellular microenvironments, acting as a physical barrier between the immune system and the implant. However, internalization of nano-scale materials by implanted cells is not desirable and is yet to be overcome. In this study, we incorporated acrylate modified cholesterol-bearing pullulan (CHPOA) nanogels into poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogels through covalent crosslinking, where we used visible light-induced photopolymerization. We characterized morphology and swelling properties of CHPOA incorporated PEG composite hydrogels using FE-SEM and gravimetric analysis. Also, we investigated the biocompatibility properties of composite hydrogels in vivo, where we used both healthy and diabetic mice. We induced diabetes in mice using a low dose streptozotocin (STZ) injections and implanted composite hydrogels in both diabetic and healthy mice through subcutaneous route. Immune cell infiltration of the retrieved tissue was examined through histological analysis, where we observed minimum immune response levels of 0-2 rareness, according to ISO standard of biological evaluation of medical devices. Our observation suggests that the composite hydrogel developed here can be used to introduce nanostructured domains into bulk hydrogels and that this system has potential to be used as immunologically acceptable composite material in cellular therapy without internalization of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Antigen proteins, assembled on nanoparticles, can be recognized by antigen-presenting cells effectively to enhance antigen immunogenicity. The ability to simultaneously display multiantigens on the same nanoparticle could have numerous applications but remained technical challenges. Here, we described a method for precise assembly of multiple antigens on nanoparticles with specially designed affinity peptides. First, we designed and screened affinity peptides with high affinity and specificity, which could respectively target the key amino acid residues of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) E2 protein or porcine circovirus type 2 capsid protein (PCV2 Cap) accurately. Then, we conjugated the antigen proteins to poly(lactic acid-glycolic acid) copolymer (PLGA) and Gram-positive enhancer matrix (GEM) nanoparticles through the peptides and perfectly assembled two kinds of multiantigen display nanoparticles with different particle sizes. Subsequently, the immunological properties of the assembled nanoparticles were tested. The results showed that the antigen display nanoparticles could promote the maturation, phagocytosis, and proinflammatory effects of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Besides, compared with the antigen proteins, multiantigen display nanoparticles could induce much higher levels of antibodies and neutralizing antibodies in mice. This strategy may provide a technical support for the study of protein structure and the research and development of polyvalent vaccines.

The presence of multiple hydroxy groups on the flexible polyether backbone not only enables the further modification of the PG structure but also makes the polymer highly water-soluble and results in excellent biocompatibility. In this review, the polymerization routes leading to PG with different architectures are discussed. Moreover, we discuss the role of these polymers in different biomedical applications such as drug delivery systems, protein conjugation, and surface modification.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy is a powerful treatment strategy that mobilizes the immune system to fight disease. Cancer vaccination is one form of cancer immunotherapy, where spatiotemporal control of the delivery of tumor-specific antigens, adjuvants, and/or cytokines has been key to successfully activating the immune system. Nanoscale materials that take advantage of chemistry to control the nanoscale structural arrangement, composition, and release of immunostimulatory components have shown significant promise in this regard. In this Outlook, we examine how the nanoscale structure, chemistry, and composition of immunostimulatory compounds can be modulated to maximize immune response and mitigate off-target effects, focusing on spherical nucleic acids as a model system. Furthermore, we emphasize how chemistry and materials science are driving the rational design and development of next-generation cancer vaccines. Finally, we identify gaps in the field that should be addressed moving forward and outline future directions to galvanize researchers from multiple disciplines to help realize the full potential of this form of cancer immunotherapy through chemistry and rational vaccinology.

Abstract
Traditional vaccine development against infectious diseases has been guided by the overarching aim to generate efficacious vaccines normally indicated by an antibody and/or cellular response that correlates with protection. However, this approach has been shown to be only a partially effective measure, since vaccine- and pathogen-specific immunity may not perfectly overlap. Thus, some vaccine development strategies, normally focused on targeted generation of both antigen specific antibody and T cell responses, resulting in a long-lived heterogenous and stable pool of memory lymphocytes, may benefit from better mimicking the immune response of a natural infection. However, challenges to achieving this goal remain unattended, due to gaps in our understanding of human immunity and full elucidation of infectious pathogenesis. In this review, we describe recent advances in the development of effective vaccines, focusing on how understanding the differences in the immunizing and non-immunizing immune responses to natural infections and corresponding shifts in immune ontogeny are crucial to inform the next generation of infectious disease vaccines.

Mass Cytometry Exploration of Immunomodulatory Responses of Human Immune Cells Exposed to Silver Nanoparticles. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14030630. [PMID: 35336005 PMCID: PMC8954471 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14030630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Revised: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Increasing production and application of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have raised concerns on their possible adverse effects on human health. However, a comprehensive understanding of their effects on biological systems, especially immunomodulatory responses involving various immune cell types and biomolecules (e.g., cytokines and chemokines), is still incomplete. In this study, a single-cell-based, high-dimensional mass cytometry approach is used to investigate the immunomodulatory responses of Ag NPs using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) exposed to poly-vinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP)-coated Ag NPs of different core sizes (i.e., 10-, 20-, and 40-nm). Although there were no severe cytotoxic effects observed, PVPAg10 and PVPAg20 were excessively found in monocytes and dendritic cells, while PVPAg40 displayed more affinity with B cells and natural killer cells, thereby triggering the release of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-2, IL-17A, IL-17F, MIP1β, TNFα, and IFNγ. Our findings indicate that under the exposure conditions tested in this study, Ag NPs only triggered the inflammatory responses in a size-dependent manner rather than induce cytotoxicity in hPBMCs. Our study provides an appropriate ex vivo model to better understand the human immune responses against Ag NP at a single-cell level, which can contribute to the development of targeted drug delivery, vaccine developments, and cancer radiotherapy treatments.

Abstract
This study evaluated the influence of surface free energy (SFE) of titanium disks on the adsorption and conformation of fibronectin (FN) and the biological behavior of osteoblasts cultured on the FN-treated modified surfaces. High [H]-SFE titanium disks were irradiated by a 30 W UV light, while low (L)-SFE titanium disks received no treatment. The surface characteristics of the titanium disks were examined using scanning electron microscope, optical surface profilometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements. Adsorbed FN on different groups was investigated using attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. MG-63 cells were cultured on FN-treated titanium disks to evaluate the in vitro bioactivity. The experiment showed H-SFE titanium disks adsorbed more FN and acquired more ß-turn content than L-SFE group. MG-63 cells cultured on FN-treated H-SFE titanium disks showed better osteogenic responses, including adhesion, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization than that on FN-treated L-SFE titanium disks. Compared to L-SFE titanium disks, integrin-β1, integrin-α5 and Rac-1 mRNA levels were significantly higher in MG-63 cells on FN-treated H-SFE after 3 h of culture. These findings suggest that the higher SFE of H-SFE compared to L-SFE titanium disks induced changes in the conformation of adsorbed FN that enhanced the osteogenic activity of MG-63 cells.

Abstract
Microbe-based cancer immunotherapy has recently emerged as a hot topic for cancer treatment. However, serious limitations remain including infection associated side-effect and unsatisfactory outcomes in clinic trials. Here, we fabricate different sizes of nano-formulations derived from yeast cell wall (YCW NPs) by differential centrifugation. The induction of anticancer immunity of our formulations appears to inversely correlate with their size due to the ability to accumulate in tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN). Moreover, we use a percolation model to explain their distribution behavior toward TDLN. The abundance and functional orientation of each effector component are significantly improved not only in the microenvironment in tumor but also in the TDLN following small size YCW NPs treatment. In combination with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockade, we demonstrate anticancer efficiency in melanoma-challenged mice. We delineate potential strategy to target immunosuppressive microenvironment by microbe-based nanoparticles and highlight the role of size effect in microbe-based immune therapeutics. Components of the yeast cell wall, including but not limited to β-glucan, have been reported to act as danger signals and promote immune responses. Here the authors report the design and anti-tumor immune responses elicited by yeast cell wall-based nanoparticles in preclinical cancer models.

Abstract
Skin ageing is a cumulative result of oxidative stress, predominantly caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Respiration, pollutants, toxins, or ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation produce ROS with 80% of skin damage attributed to UVA irradiation. Anti-ageing peptides and proteins are considered valuable compounds for removing ROS to prevent skin ageing and maintenance of skin health. In this review, skin ageing theory has been illustrated with a focus on the mechanism and relationship with anti-ageing peptides and proteins. The effects, classification, and transport pathways of anti-ageing peptides and proteins across skin are summarized and discussed. Over the last decade, several novel formulations and advanced strategies have been developed to overcome the challenges in the dermal delivery of proteins and peptides for skin ageing. This article also provides an in-depth review of the latest advancements in the dermal delivery of anti-ageing proteins and peptides. Based on these studies, this review prospected several semi-solid dosage forms to achieve topical applicability for anti-ageing peptides and proteins.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent degenerative joint disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Currently, clinical nonsurgical treatments of OA are only limited to pain relief, anti-inflammation, and viscosupplementation. Developing disease-modifying OA drugs (DMOADs) is highly demanded for the efficient treatment of OA. As OA is a local disease, intra-articular (IA) injection directly delivers drugs to synovial joints, resulting in high-concentration drugs in the joint and reduced side effects, accompanied with traditional oral or topical administrations. However, the injected drugs are rapidly cleaved. By properly designing the drug delivery systems, prolonged retention time and targeting could be obtained. In this review, we summarize the drugs investigated for OA treatment and recent advances in the IA drug delivery systems, including micro- and nano-particles, liposomes, and hydrogels, hoping to provide some information for designing the IA injected formulations.

Abstract
Inflammation plays a central role in wound healing following injury or disease and is mediated by a precise cascade of cellular and molecular events. Unresolved inflammatory processes lead to chronic inflammation and fibrosis, which can result in prolonged wound healing lasting months or years that hampers tissue function. Therapeutic interventions mediated by immunomodulatory drugs, cells, or biomaterials, are therefore most effective during the inflammatory phase of wound healing when a pro-regenerative environment is essential. In this review, we discuss the advantages of exploiting knowledge of the native tissue microenvironment to develop therapeutics capable of modulating the immune response and promoting functional tissue repair. In particular, we provide examples of the most recent biomimetic platforms proposed to accomplish this goal, with an emphasis on those able to induce macrophage polarization towards a pro-regenerative phenotype.

Abstract
A vast majority of cancer deaths occur as a result of metastasis. Unfortunately, effective treatments for metastases are currently lacking due to the difficulty of selectively targeting these small, delocalized tumors distributed across a variety of organs. However, nanotechnology holds tremendous promise for improving immunotherapeutic outcomes in patients with metastatic cancer. In contrast to conventional cancer immunotherapies, rationally designed nanomaterials can trigger specific tumoricidal effects, thereby improving immune cell access to major sites of metastasis such as bone, lungs, and lymph nodes, optimizing antigen presentation, and inducing a persistent immune response. This paper reviews the cutting-edge trends in nano-immunoengineering for metastatic cancers with an emphasis on different nano-immunotherapeutic strategies. Specifically, it discusses directly reversing the immunological status of the primary tumor, harnessing the potential of peripheral immune cells, preventing the formation of a pre-metastatic niche, and inhibiting the tumor recurrence through postoperative immunotherapy. Finally, we describe the challenges facing the integration of nanoscale immunomodulators and provide a forward-looking perspective on the innovative nanotechnology-based tools that may ultimately prove effective at eradicating metastatic diseases.

Abstract
Tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens are overexpressed as altered-self in most common epithelial cancers. Their glycosylation patterns differ from those of healthy cells, functioning as an ID for cancer cells. Scientists have been developing anti-cancer vaccines based on mucin glycopeptides, yet the interplay of delivery system, adjuvant and tumor associated MUC epitopes in the induced immune response is not well understood. The current state of the art suggests that the identity, abundancy and location of the glycans on the MUC backbone are all key parameters in the cellular and humoral response. This review shares lessons learned by us in over two decades of research in glycopeptide vaccines. By bridging synthetic chemistry and immunology, we discuss efforts in designing synthetic MUC1/4/16 vaccines and focus on the role of glycosylation patterns. We provide a brief introduction into the mechanisms of the immune system and aim to promote the development of cancer subunit vaccines.

Abstract
Background The side effects of life-long administration of FK506 limit the clinical practice of vascularized composite allografts (VCAs). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of FK506-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (FK506 NPs) for prolonging the long-term survival of VCAs and reducing the side effects of FK506. Methods PLGA nanoparticles loaded with FK506 were prepared by the solvent evaporation method. The characterization of FK506 NPs was evaluated by electron microscopy. To confirm the function and safety of FK506 NPs, these particles were administrated into rats by intraperitoneal injection. The survival time of the allograft, systemic concentration of FK506, anti-rejection activity, and side-effect of FK506 NPs were evaluated in a Brown Norway (BN)-to-Sprague Dawley (SD) epigastric VCA transplantation model. Results Compared with the nontreatment, PLGA control and FK506 groups, the median survival times (MST) of the FK506 NP groups were significantly prolonged. The FK506 NPs could maintain therapeutic drug concentration for 60 days. Moreover, cytokine concentrations, flow cytometry of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and histopathology of allografts revealed significantly prolonged immunosuppression by FK506 NPs. FK506 NPs also ameliorated FK506 nephrotoxicity. Conclusions FK506 NPs prolong the survival time of VCAs in a murine model with minimal nephrotoxicity, and provide a potential clinical strategy for ameliorating long-term side effects of immunosuppressive therapy.

Abstract
While the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) accounts for the current global pandemic, the emergence of other unknown pathogens, named "Disease X," remains a serious concern in the future. Emerging or re-emerging pathogens continue to pose significant challenges to global public health. In response, the scientific community has been urged to create advanced platform technologies to meet the ever-increasing needs presented by these devastating diseases with pandemic potential. This review aims to bring new insights to allow for the application of advanced nanomaterials in future diagnostics, vaccines, and antiviral therapies, thereby addressing the challenges associated with the current preparedness strategies in clinical settings against viruses. The application of nanomaterials has advanced medicine and provided cutting-edge solutions for unmet needs. Herein, an overview of the currently available nanotechnologies is presented, highlighting the significant features that enable them to control infectious diseases, and identifying the challenges that remain to be addressed for the commercial production of nano-based products is presented. Finally, to conclude, the development of a nanomaterial-based system using a "One Health" approach is suggested. This strategy would require a transdisciplinary collaboration and communication between all stakeholders throughout the entire process spanning across research and development, as well as the preclinical, clinical, and manufacturing phases.

Abstract
Immune homeostasis is maintained by a precise balance between effector immune cells and regulatory immune cells. Chronic deviations from immune homeostasis, driven by a greater ratio of effector to regulatory cues, can promote the development and propagation of inflammatory diseases/conditions (i.e., autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection, etc.). Current methods to treat chronic inflammation rely upon systemic administration of non-specific small molecules, resulting in broad immunosuppression with unwanted side effects. Consequently, recent studies have developed more localized and specific immunomodulatory approaches to treat inflammation through the use of local biomaterial-based delivery systems. In particular, this review focuses on (1) local biomaterial-based delivery systems, (2) common materials used for polymeric-delivery systems and (3) emerging immunomodulatory trends used to treat inflammation with increased specificity.

[PMID: 34834964 PMCID: PMC8620756 DOI: 10.3390/v13112158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2021] [Revised: 10/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
A transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is a porcine enteropathogenic coronavirus, causing acute swine enteric disease especially in suckling piglets. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are safe vaccine adjuvant, which could enhance immune responses. Our previous research confirmed that nano silicon had immune-enhancing effects with inactivated TGEV vaccine. In this study, we further clarified the immune-enhancing mechanism of the inactivated TGEV vaccine with MSNs on porcine dendritic cells (DCs). Our results indicated that the inactivated TGEV vaccine with MSNs strongly enhanced the activation of the DCs. Expressions of TLR3, TLR5, TLR7, TLR9, and TLR10, cytokines IFN-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, and TNF-α, cytokine receptor CCR-7 of immature DCs were characterized and showed themselves to be significantly higher in the inactivated TGEV vaccine with the MSN group. In summary, the inactivated TGEV vaccine with MSNs has effects on the phenotype and function of porcine DCs, which helps to better understand the immune-enhancing mechanism.

Abstract
The regulatory functions of the immune response in tissue healing, repair, and regeneration have been evidenced in the last decade. Immune cells play central roles in immune responses toward inducing favorable tissue regenerative processes. Modulating and controlling the immune cell responses (particularly macrophages) is an emerging approach to enhance tissue regeneration. Bioactive glasses (BGs) are multifunctional materials exhibiting osteogenic, angiogenic, and antibacterial properties, being increasingly investigated for various tissue regeneration scenarios, including bone regeneration and wound healing. On the other hand, the immunomodulatory effects of BGs in relation to regenerating tissues have started to be understood, and key knowledge is emerging. This is the first review article summarizing the immunomodulatory effects of BGs for tissue repair and regeneration. The immune response to BGs is firstly introduced, discussing potential mechanisms regarding the immunomodulation effects induced by BGs. Moreover, the interactions between the immune cells involved in the immunomodulation process and BGs (dissolution products) are summarized in detail. Particularly, a well-regulated and timely switch of macrophage phenotype from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory is crucial to constructive tissue regeneration through modulating osteogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and angiogenesis. The influence of BG characteristics on macrophage responses is discussed. We highlight the strategies employed to harness macrophage responses for enhanced tissue regeneration, including the incorporation of active ions, surface functionalization, and controlled release of immunomodulatory molecules. Finally, we conclude with our perspectives on future research challenges and directions in the emerging field of immunomodulatory BGs for tissue regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Immunomodulatory effects of bioactive glasses (BGs) in relation to bone regeneration and wound healing have started to be understood. We summarize those studies which have focused on immunomodulatory BGs for tissue regeneration. We first introduce the potential mechanisms of the immunomodulation effects induced by BGs. Interactions between the cells involved in immunomodulation processes and BGs (and their dissolution products, biologically active ions) are elaborated. We highlight the strategies employed to modulate macrophage responses for enhancing tissue regeneration, including incorporation of active ions, surface functionalization, and controlled release of immunomodulatory agents. This is the first review article summarizing and outlining the immunomodulatory effects of BGs for tissue regeneration. We anticipate that increasing research efforts will start to emerge in the area of immunomodulatory BGs.

Abstract
With all the advances in tissue engineering for construction of fully functional skin tissue, complete regeneration of chronic wounds is still challenging. Since immune reaction to the tissue damage is critical in regulating both the quality and duration of chronic wound healing cascade, strategies to modulate the immune system are of importance. Generally, in response to an injury, macrophages switch from pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Therefore, controlling macrophages' polarization has become an appealing approach in regenerative medicine. Recently, hydrogels-based constructs, incorporated with various cellular and molecular signals, have been developed and utilized to adjust immune cell functions in various stages of wound healing. Here, the current state of knowledge on immune cell functions during skin tissue regeneration is first discussed. Recent advanced technologies used to design immunomodulatory hydrogels for controlling macrophages' polarization are then summarized. Rational design of hydrogels for providing controlled immune stimulation via hydrogel chemistry and surface modification, as well as incorporation of cell and molecules, are also dicussed. In addition, the effects of hydrogels' properties on immunogenic features and the wound healing process are summarized. Finally, future directions and upcoming research strategies to control immune responses during chronic wound healing are highlighted.

Abstract
Currently approved replication-competent and inactivated vaccines are limited by excessive reactogenicity and poor safety profiles, while subunit vaccines are often insufficiently immunogenic without co-administering exogenous adjuvants. Self-assembling peptide-, peptidomimetic-, and protein-based biomaterials offer a means to overcome these challenges through their inherent modularity, multivalency, and biocompatibility. As these scaffolds are biologically derived and present antigenic arrays reminiscent of natural viruses, they are prone to immune recognition and are uniquely capable of functioning as self-adjuvanting vaccine delivery vehicles that improve humoral and cellular responses. Beyond this intrinsic immunological advantage, the wide range of available amino acids allows for facile de novo design or straightforward modifications to existing sequences. This has permitted the development of vaccines and immunotherapies tailored to specific disease models, as well as generalizable platforms that have been successfully applied to prevent or treat numerous infectious and non-infectious diseases. In this review, we briefly introduce the immune system, discuss the structural determinants of coiled coils, β-sheets, peptide amphiphiles, and protein subunit nanoparticles, and highlight the utility of these materials using notable examples of their innate and adaptive immunomodulatory capacity.

Lymph Node-Targeted Synthetically Glycosylated Antigen Leads to Antigen-Specific Immunological Tolerance. Front Immunol 2021; 12:714842.

Abstract
Inverse vaccines that tolerogenically target antigens to antigen-presenting cells (APCs) offer promise in prevention of immunity to allergens and protein drugs and treatment of autoimmunity. We have previously shown that targeting hepatic APCs through intravenous injection of synthetically glycosylated antigen leads to effective induction of antigen-specific immunological tolerance. Here, we demonstrate that targeting these glycoconjugates to lymph node (LN) APCs under homeostatic conditions leads to local and increased accumulation in the LNs compared to unmodified antigen and induces a tolerogenic state both locally and systemically. Subcutaneous administration directs the polymeric glycoconjugate to the draining LN, where the glycoconjugated antigen generates robust antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell tolerance and hypo-responsiveness to antigenic challenge via a number of mechanisms, including clonal deletion, anergy of activated T cells, and expansion of regulatory T cells. Lag-3 up-regulation on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells represents an essential mechanism of suppression. Additionally, presentation of antigen released from the glycoconjugate to naïve T cells is mediated mainly by LN-resident CD8+ and CD11b+ dendritic cells. Thus, here we demonstrate that antigen targeting via synthetic glycosylation to impart affinity for APC scavenger receptors generates tolerance when LN dendritic cells are the cellular target.

Abstract
Islet transplantation has shown promise as a curative therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the side effects of systemic immunosuppression and limited long-term viability of engrafted islets, together with the scarcity of donor organs, highlight an urgent need for the development of new, improved, and safer cell-replacement strategies. Induction of local immunotolerance to prevent allo-rejection against islets and stem cell derived β cells has the potential to improve graft function and broaden the applicability of cellular therapy while minimizing adverse effects of systemic immunosuppression. In this mini review, recent developments in non-encapsulation, local immunomodulatory approaches for T1D cell replacement therapies, including islet/β cell modification, immunomodulatory biomaterial platforms, and co-transplantation of immunomodulatory cells are discussed. Key advantages and remaining challenges in translating such technologies to clinical settings are identified. Although many of the studies discussed are preliminary, the growing interest in the field has led to the exploration of new combinatorial strategies involving cellular engineering, immunotherapy, and novel biomaterials. Such interdisciplinary research will undoubtedly accelerate the development of therapies that can benefit the whole T1D population.

Abstract
After centuries of development, using vaccination to stimulate immunity has become an effective method for prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases including infective diseases and cancers. However, the tailor-made efficient delivery system for specific antigens is still urgently needed due to the low immunogenicity and stability of antigens, especially for vaccines to induce CD8+ T cells-mediated cellular immunity. Unlike B cells-mediated humoral immunity, CD8+ T cells-mediated cellular immunity mainly aims at the intracellular antigens from microorganism in virus-infected cells or genetic mutations in tumor cells. Therefore, the vaccines for stimulating CD8+ T cells-mediated cellular immunity should deliver the antigens efficiently into the cytoplasm of antigen presenting cells (APCs) to form major histocompatibility complex I (MHCI)-antigen complex through cross-presentation, followed by activating CD8+ T cells for immune protection and clearance. Importantly, nanotechnology has been emerged as a powerful tool to facilitate these multiple processes specifically, allowing not only enhanced antigen immunogenicity and stability but also APCs-targeted delivery and elevated cross-presentation. This review summarizes the process of CD8+ T cells-mediated cellular immunity induced by vaccines and the technical advantages of nanotechnology implementation in general, then provides an overview of the whole spectrum of nanocarriers studied so far and the recent development of delivery nanotechnology in vaccines against infectious diseases and cancer. Finally, we look forward to the future development of nanotechnology for the next generation of vaccines to induce CD8+ T cells-mediated cellular immunity.
