Abstract
Microbial infections of surgical sites and other wounds represent a major impediment for patients. Multifunctional low-cost dressings promoting tissue reparation while preventing infections are of great interest to medical professionals. Here, clay-based laponite nanodiscs (LAP) were loaded with the antibacterial drug kanamycin (KANA) before being embedded into a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) membrane and coated with the biopolymer chitosan (CS). Results indicated that these biocompatible materials combined the excellent capacity of LAP for controlled drug release with the mechanical robustness of PLGA and the antibacterial properties of CS as well as its hydrophilicity to form a composite highly suitable as an infection-preventing wound dressing. In vitro, PLGA/LAP/KANA/CS released drugs in a sustainable manner over 30 d, completely inhibited the growth of infectious bacteria, prompted the adhesion fibroblasts, and accelerated their proliferation 1.3 times. In vivo, the composite enabled the fast healing of infected full-thickness skin wounds with a 96.19 % contraction after 14 d. During the healing process, PLGA/LAP/KANA/CS stimulated re-epithelization, reduced inflammation, and promoted both angiogenesis and the formation of dense collagen fibers with an excellent final collagen volume ratio of 89.27 %. Thus, multifunctional PLGA/LAP/KANA/CS made of low-cost components demonstrated its potential for the treatment of infected skin wounds.

Abstract
It is of significance to develop efficient methods for detecting the activity of T4 polynucleotide kinase (T4 PNK) due to its essential role in the modulation of different life activities. In this work, we constructed a novel nanozyme using Kanamycin (KANA) as a trigger for the [Fe(CN)6]3- coordinated Cu2(OH)3NO3 (Cu2(OH)3NO3/[Fe(CN)6]3-) nanorods, and designed an amplified colorimetric method to detect T4 PNK. That was, the free KANA efficiently triggered the peroxidase-like activity of Cu2(OH)3NO3/[Fe(CN)6]3-, while the bound KANA by its aptamer lost the stimulative capability for the nanomaterials. On the basis of the bioreaction regulated generation of the KANA aptamer, a highly sensitive colorimetric assay aided by the rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction for the detection of T4 PNK was realized. Results showed that this assay can detect T4 PNK from 1.0 × 10-3 to 10.0 U/mL, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.42 × 10-4 U/mL. The assay also showed acceptable performance in the detection of T4 PNK in serum samples. In addition to the satisfactory sensitivity and selectivity, the displayed T4 PNK assay also presented merits of operational convenience, without labeling or immobilization process and did not require costly instrument. It is expected that the KANA as a stimulator would have extended biosensing applications by coupling various bioreactions that can produce the KANA aptamer.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third-largest cause of cancer death worldwide, while immunotherapy is rapidly being developed to fight HCC with great potential. Nucleic acid drugs are the most important modulators in HCC immunotherapy. To boost the efficacy of therapeutics and amplify the efficiency of genetic materials, biocompatible polymers are commonly used. However, under the strong need of a summary for current developments of biocompatible polymeric nucleic acid carriers for immunotherapy of HCC, there is rare review article specific to this topic to our best knowledge. In this article, we will discuss the current progress of immunotherapy for HCC, biocompatible cationic polymers (BCPs) as nucleic acid carriers used (or potential) to fight HCC, the roles of biocompatible polymeric carriers for nucleic acid delivery, and nucleic acid delivery by biocompatible polymers for immunotherapy. At the end, we will conclude the review and discuss future perspectives. This article discusses biocompatible polymeric nucleic acid carriers for immunotherapy of HCC from multidiscipline perspectives and provides a new insight in this domain. We believe this review will be interesting to polymer chemists, pharmacists, clinic doctors, and PhD students in related disciplines.

Abstract
Aminoglycosides are a class of naturally occurring and semi synthetic antibiotics that have been used for a long time in fighting bacterial infections. Due to acquired antibiotic resistance and inherent toxicity, aminoglycosides have experienced a decrease in interest over time. However, in the last decade, we are seeing a renaissance of aminoglycosides thanks to a better understanding of their chemistry and mode of action, which had led to new trends of application. The purpose of this comprehensive review is to highlight one of these new fields of application: the use of aminoglycosides as building blocks for the development of liposomal and polymeric vectors for gene delivery. The design, synthetic strategies, ability to condensate the genetic material, the efficiency in transfection, and cytotoxicity as well as when available, the antibacterial activity of aminoglycoside-based cationic lipids and polymers are covered and critically analyzed.

Abstract
Hyperbranched polyaminoglycosides were prepared by the polymerization of kanamycin, gentamicin, and neomycin, and N,N'-methylenebis(acrylamide) via a one-pot reaction. The secondary amines at the linear units of the hyperbranched polymers were subsequently reacted with NO gas at high pressure under alkaline conditions to form N-diazeniumdiolate NO donors. The resulting NO-releasing hyperbranched polyaminoglycosides exhibited a wide range of NO payloads (~0.4-1.3 µmol mg-1) and release kinetics (half-lives ~70-180 min). The therapeutic utility of these materials was evaluated by examining their bactericidal activity against common dental pathogens and toxicity to human gingival fibroblast cells. The antibacterial efficacy of NO-releasing hyperbranched polyaminoglycosides was dependent on specific physiochemical properties, with greater degrees of branching and aminoglycoside terminal groups correlating to enhanced action. Nitric oxide-releasing hyperbranched polykanamycin and polyneomycin elicited the least cytotoxicity at bactericidal concentrations, indicating the greatest therapeutic index for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this study, we have designed and developed two series of bifunctional conjugates by tethering polyethylenimine with streptomycin. By varying the amount of streptomycin, conjugates, polyethylenimine-streptomycin, have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. Gel electrophoresis assay revealed a slight decrease in the cationic charge density on the conjugates as these retarded the mobility of pDNA at higher w/w ratios. Further, transfection studies showed that both the series of conjugates transfected the mammalian cells efficiently with low-molecular weight polyethylenimine-streptomycin conjugates were more competent (∼9-fold enhancement with respect to native bPEI) exhibiting high cell viability too. Besides, both the series of conjugates displayed excellent antibacterial activity on pathogenic bacteria, even better than native streptomycin on resistant strains. Altogether, these results ensure the promising potential of the projected bifunctional conjugates as safe and efficient gene delivery vectors as well as antibacterials for future biomedical applications.

The Length of Hydrophobic Chain in Amphiphilic Polypeptides Regulates the Efficiency of Gene Delivery. Polymers (Basel) 2018; 10:polym10040379.

Abstract
The major challenges of non-viral carriers are low transfection efficiency and high toxicity. To overcome this bottleneck, it is very important to investigate the structure-property-function (transfection efficiency) relationships of polycations. Herein, different length hydrophobic poly(l-leucine) chains in amphiphilic polypeptides were precisely synthesized by α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (NCA) ring-opening polymerization and these biocompatible polypeptides were chosen as a model to further examine the transfection in vitro. These polypeptides were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) was employed to validate the ability of DNA condensation and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observe the assemblies of polyplexes. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in COS-7 cell lines and transfection was performed in normal cell COS-7 and cancer cell Hep G2. The results showed that NCA monomers were prepared and the amphiphilic polypeptides, poly(lysine(CBZ))50-block-poly(l-leucine)10, poly(l-lysine(CBZ))50-block-poly(l-leucine)15, and poly(l-lysine(CBZ))50-block-poly(l-leucine)25, were successfully synthesized with controlled molecular weight and narrow distribution. After deprotection of CBZ, these materials can condense plasmid DNA into 100 nm nanoparticles and the cellular uptake of polyplexes was as fast as 30 min. The transfection data shown these materials had a good transfection efficiency comparing to polyethylenimine (Branched, 25 kDa) while they displayed ignored cytotoxicity. More importantly, we discovered the length of hydrophobic poly(l-leucine) in amphiphilic polypeptides steadily regulates gene delivery efficiency in two kinds of cells ranking poly(l-lysine)50-block-poly(l-leucine)25 > poly(l-lysine)50-block-poly(l-leucine)15 > poly(l-lysine)50-block-poly(l-leucine)10.

Abstract
Hyperbranched macromolecules (HMs, also called hyperbranched polymers) are highly branched three-dimensional (3D) structures in which all bonds converge to a focal point or core, and which have a multiplicity of reactive chain-ends. This review summarizes major types of synthetic strategies exploited to produce HMs, including the step-growth polycondensation, the self-condensing vinyl polymerization and ring opening polymerization. Compared to linear analogues, the globular and dendritic architectures of HMs endow new characteristics, such as abundant functional groups, intramolecular cavities, low viscosity, and high solubility. After discussing the general concepts, synthesis, and properties, various applications of HMs are also covered. HMs continue being materials for topical interest, and thus this review offers both concise summary for those new to the topic and for those with more experience in the field of HMs.

Abstract
Low transfection efficiency and high cytotoxicity of polymeric gene carriers have hampered the application of numerous polycations for gene therapy. To overcome this barrier, a cationic glycoconjugate of kanamycin and di(ethylene glycol) diacrylate was prepared via a facile approach. Nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and size exclusion chromatography were employed to investigate the resulting materials. Agarose gel electrophoresis, atomic force microscopy, and circular dichroism spectroscopy were used to record the interaction of the cationic oligomer and plasmid DNA. Finally, the cytotoxicity and transfection efficiency were evaluated by using COS-7 cells. The results indicated that cationic oligomers had been obtained and plasmid DNA was condensed into nanocomplexes, with a high transfection efficiency of the oligomer and a low toxicity in COS-7 cell line. It provided a novel perspective to develop gene carrier, with better safety and greater transfection efficiency, compared to traditional high molecular weight polymers.

Abstract
CD98 plays an important role in the development and progression of inflammation. Here, CD98 siRNA (siCD98) was complexed with urocanic acid-modified chitosan (UAC) to form nanoparticles (NPs), which were transfected into Raw 264.7 macrophages in an effort to convey anti-inflammatory effects. Characterization showed that the generated NPs had a desirable particle size (156.0-247.1nm), a slightly positive zeta potential (15.8-17.5mV), and no apparent cytotoxicity against Raw 264.7 macrophages and colon-26 cells compared to control NPs fabricated by Oligofectamine (OF) and siRNA. Cellular uptake experiments demonstrated that macrophages exhibited a time-dependent accumulation profile of UAC/siRNA NPs. Further in vitro gene silencing experiments revealed that UAC/siCD98 NPs with a weight ratio of 60:1 yielded the most efficient knockdowns of CD98 and the pro-inflammatory cytokine, TNF-α. Indeed, the RNAi efficiency obtained with our NPs was even higher than that of the positive control OF/siCD98 NPs. These results suggest that UAC/siCD98 NPs might be a safe, efficient and promising candidate for the treatment of inflammatory disease.

Abstract
To develop low toxic, high efficient, and excellent serum-tolerant polycation gene delivery systems, a series of oligoamines grafted hyperbranched polyether (oligoamines-g-HBP) were synthesized by conjugating different oligoamines, including triethylenetetramine (TETA) and tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), onto COOH-functionalized hyperbranched poly(3-ethyl-3-oxetanemethanol). It was found that oligoamines-g-HBP exhibited good buffering capacity, strong DNA binding and high resistance against protein adsorption. In vitro cytotoxicity measurement indicated that oligoamines-g-HBP had much lower cytotoxicity as compared with 25 kDa PEI. The transfection efficiency of TEPA-g-HBP/DNA complexes at a certain N/P ratio was significantly higher than that of 25 kDa PEI/DNA complexes. Interestingly, it was found that TEPA-g-HBP had much improved serum-tolerant capability as compared with 25 kDa PEI even when serum concentration was increased to 30%. Confocal laser images further showed that the amount of YOYO-1 labeled DNA in nuclei got increased with increasing the number of secondary amino ethylene groups in oligoamines-g-HBP. The oligoamines-g-HBP presented great potential as gene delivery vectors for further clinical applications.

Abstract
Multifunctional gene vectors with high transfection, low cytotoxicity, and good antitumor and antibacterial activities were prepared from natural aminoglycosides. Through the Michael-addition polymerization of gentamycin and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, cationic hyperbranched glycoconjugated polymers were synthesized, and their physical and chemical properties were analyzed by FTIR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, GPC, ζ-potential, and acid-base titration techniques. The cytotoxicity of these hyperbranched glycoconjugated polycations was low because of the hydrolysis of degradable glycosidic and amide linkages in acid conditions. Owing to the presence of various primary, secondary, and tertiary amines in the polymers, hyperbranched glycoconjugated polymers showed high buffering capacity and strong DNA condensation ability, resulting in the high transfection efficiency. In the meantime, due to the introduction of natural aminoglycosides into the polymeric backbone, the resultant hyperbranched glycoconjugated polymers inhibited the growth of cancer cells and bacteria efficiently. Combining the gene transfection, antitumor, and antibacterial abilities together, the multifunctional hyperbranched glycoconjugated polymers based on natural aminoglycosides may play an important role in protecting cancer patients from bacterial infections.
