Abstract
There is a growing and urgent need for developing novel biomaterials and therapeutic approaches for efficient wound healing. Microneedles (MNs), which can penetrate necrotic tissues and biofilm barriers at the wound and deliver active ingredients to the deeper layers in a minimally invasive and painless manner, have stimulated the interests of many researchers in the wound-healing filed. Among various materials, polymeric MNs have received widespread attention due to their abundant material sources, simple and inexpensive manufacturing methods, excellent biocompatibility and adjustable mechanical strength. Meanwhile, due to the unique properties of nanomaterials, the incorporation of nanomaterials can further extend the application range of polymeric MNs to facilitate on-demand drug release and activate specific therapeutic effects in combination with other therapies. In this review, we firstly introduce the current status and challenges of wound healing, and then outline the advantages and classification of MNs. Next, we focus on the manufacturing methods of polymeric MNs and the different raw materials used for their production. Furthermore, we give a summary of polymeric MNs incorporated with several common nanomaterials for chronic wounds healing. Finally, we discuss the several challenges and future prospects of transdermal drug delivery systems using nanomaterials-based polymeric MNs in wound treatment application.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy recently transforms the traditional approaches against various cancer malignancies. Immunotherapy includes systemic and local treatments to enhance immune responses against cancer and involves strategies such as immune checkpoints, cancer vaccines, immune modulatory agents, mimetic antigen-presenting cells, and adoptive cell therapy. Despite promising results, these approaches still suffer from several limitations including lack of precise delivery of immune-modulatory agents to the target cells and off-target toxicity, among others, that can be overcome using nanotechnology. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are investigated to improve various aspects of cancer immunotherapy attributed to the advantageous structural features of this nanomaterial. MSNs can be engineered to alter their properties such as size, shape, porosity, surface functionality, and adjuvanticity. This review explores the immunological properties of MSNs and the use of MSNs as delivery vehicles for immune-adjuvants, vaccines, and mimetic antigen-presenting cells (APCs). The review also details the current strategies to remodel the tumor microenvironment to positively reciprocate toward the anti-tumor immune cells and the use of MSNs for immunotherapy in combination with other anti-tumor therapies including photodynamic/thermal therapies to enhance the therapeutic effect against cancer. Last, the present demands and future scenarios for the use of MSNs for cancer immunotherapy are discussed.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:3069.

Abstract
Scaling up the synthesis of fluorescent silica nanoparticles to meet the current demand in diverse applications involves technological limitations. The present study relates to the hydrothermal synthesis of water-soluble, crystalline, blue-emitting amine-functionalized silica nanoparticles from coal fly ash sustainably and economically. This study used tertiary amine (trimethylamine) to prepare amine-functionalized fluorescent silica nanoparticles, enhancing fluorescence quantum yield and nitrogen content for nanofertilizer application. The TEM and FESEM studies show that the silica nanoparticles have a spherical morphology with an average diameter of 4.0 nm. The x-ray photoelectron and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies reveal the presence of the amine group at the surface of silica nanoparticles. The silica nanoparticles exhibit blue fluorescence with an emission maximum of 454 nm at 370 nm excitation and show excitation-dependent emission properties in the aqueous medium. With the perfect spectral overlap between silica nanoparticle emission (donor) and chlorophyll absorption (acceptor), fluorescent silica nanoparticles enhance plant photosynthesis rate by resonance energy transfer. This process accelerates the photosynthesis rate to improve the individual plant's quality and growth. These findings suggested that the fly ash-derived functionalized silica nanoparticles could be employed as nanofertilizers and novel delivery agents.

Glucosamine-Modified Mesoporous Silica-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles: A "Raisin-Cake"-like Structure as an Efficient Theranostic Platform for Targeted Methotrexate Delivery. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2491. [PMID: 37896251 PMCID: PMC10610088 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15102491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This study presents the synthesis of glucosamine-modified mesoporous silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as a therapeutic platform for the delivery of an anticancer drug, methotrexate (MTX). The MNPs were coated with mesoporous silica in a templated sol-gel process to form MNP@MSN, and then chloropropyl groups were added to the structure in a post-modification reaction. Glucosamine was then reacted with the chloro-modified structure, and methotrexate was conjugated to the hydroxyl group of the glucose. The prepared structure was characterized using techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis (CHN), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Good formation of nano-sized MNPs and MNP@MSN was observed via particle size monitoring. The modified glucosamine structure showed a controlled release profile of methotrexate in simulated tumor fluid. In vitro evaluation using the 4T1 breast cancer cell line showed the cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and cell cycle effects of methotrexate. The MTT assay showed comparable toxicity between MTX-loaded nanoparticles and free MTX. The structure could act as a glucose transporter-targeting agent and showed increased uptake in cancer cells. An in vivo breast cancer model was established in BALB/C mice, and the distribution of MTX-conjugated MNP@MSN particles was visualized using MRI. The MTX-conjugated particles showed significant anti-tumor potential together with MRI contrast enhancement.

Abstract
The chemical composition of COVID test swabs has not been examined beyond the manufacturer's datasheets. The unprecedented demand for swabs to conduct rapid lateral flow tests and nucleic acid amplification tests led to mass production, including 3D printing platforms. Manufacturing impurities could be present in the swabs and, if so, could pose a risk to human health. We used scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy to examine the ultrastructure of seven assorted brands of COVID test swabs and to identify and quantify their chemical elements. We detected eight unexpected elements, including transition metals, such as titanium and zirconium, the metalloid silicon, as well as post-transition metals aluminium and gallium, and the non-metal elements sulphur and fluorine. Some of the elements were detected as trace amounts, but for others, the amount was close to reported toxicological thresholds for inhalation routes. Experimental studies have shown that the detrimental effects of unexpected chemical elements include moderate to severe inflammatory states in the exposed epithelium as well as proliferative changes. Given the massive testing still being used in the context of the COVID pandemic, we urge caution in continuing to recommend repeated and frequent testing, particularly of healthy, non-symptomatic, individuals.

Nat Commun 2023; 14:5870.

Abstract
Crystal-field perturbation is theoretically the most direct and effective method of achieving highly efficient photoluminescence from trivalent lanthanide (Ln3+) ions through breaking the parity-forbidden nature of their 4f-transitions. However, exerting such crystal-field perturbation remains an arduous task even in well-developed Ln3+-doped luminescent nanocrystals (NCs). Herein, we report crystal-field perturbation through interstitial H+-doping in orthorhombic-phase NaMgF3:Ln3+ NCs and achieve a three-orders-of-magnitude emission amplification without a distinct lattice distortion. Mechanistic studies reveal that the interstitial H+ ions perturb the local charge density distribution, leading to anisotropic polarization of the F- ligand, which affects the highly symmetric Ln3+-substituted [MgF6]4- octahedral clusters. This effectively alleviates the parity-forbidden selective rule to enhance the 4f-4 f radiative transition rate of the Ln3+ emitter and is directly corroborated by the apparent shortening of the radiative recombination lifetime. The interstitially H+-doped NaMgF3:Yb/Er NCs are successfully used as bioimaging agents for real-time vascular imaging. These findings provide concrete evidence for crystal-field perturbation effects and promote the design of Ln3+-doped luminescent NCs with high brightness.

Abstract
The diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases currently relies primarily on invasive procedures like digestive endoscopy. However, these procedures can cause discomfort, respiratory issues, and bacterial infections in patients, both during and after the examination. In recent years, nanomedicine has emerged as a promising field, providing significant advancements in diagnostic techniques. Nanoprobes, in particular, offer distinct advantages, such as high specificity and sensitivity in detecting GI diseases. Integration of nanoprobes with advanced imaging techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, optical fluorescence imaging, tomography, and optical correlation tomography, has significantly enhanced the detection capabilities for GI tumors and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This synergy enables early diagnosis and precise staging of GI disorders. Among the nanoparticles investigated for clinical applications, superparamagnetic iron oxide, quantum dots, single carbon nanotubes, and nanocages have emerged as extensively studied and utilized agents. This review aimed to provide insights into the potential applications of nanoparticles in modern imaging techniques, with a specific focus on their role in facilitating early and specific diagnosis of a range of GI disorders, including IBD and colorectal cancer (CRC). Additionally, we discussed the challenges associated with the implementation of nanotechnology-based GI diagnostics and explored future prospects for translation in this promising field.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven to be very effective carriers for drug delivery in various biological applications. In recent years, the development of hybrid nanostructures has made significant progress, including developing an innovative MOF-loaded nanocomposite with a highly porous structure and low toxicity that can be used to fabricate core-shell nanocomposites by combining complementary materials. This review study discusses using MOF materials in cancer treatment, imaging, and antibacterial effects, focusing on oral cancer cells. For patients with oral cancer, we offer a regular program for accurately designing and producing various anticancer and antibacterial agents to achieve maximum effectiveness and the lowest side effects. Also, we want to ensure that the anticancer agent works optimally and has as few side effects as possible before it is tested in vitro and in vivo. It is also essential that new anticancer drugs for cancer treatment are tested for efficacy and safety before they go into further research.

Abstract
Providing accurate molecular imaging of the body and biological process is critical for diagnosing disease and personalizing treatment with the minimum side effects. Recently, diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals have gained more attention in precise molecular imaging due to their high sensitivity and appropriate tissue penetration depth. The fate of these radiopharmaceuticals throughout the body can be traced using nuclear imaging systems, including single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) modalities. In this regard, nanoparticles are attractive platforms for delivering radionuclides into targets because they can directly interfere with the cell membranes and subcellular organelles. Moreover, applying radiolabeled nanomaterials can decrease their toxicity concerns because radiopharmaceuticals are usually administrated at low doses. Therefore, incorporating gamma-emitting radionuclides into nanomaterials can provide imaging probes with valuable additional properties compared to the other carriers. Herein, we aim to review (1) the gamma-emitting radionuclides used for labeling different nanomaterials, (2) the approaches and conditions adopted for their radiolabeling, and (3) their application. This study can help researchers to compare different radiolabeling methods in terms of stability and efficiency and choose the best way for each nanosystem.

[PMID: 37242794 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15051548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising anticancer noninvasive technique that relies on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Unfortunately, PDT still has many limitations, including the resistance developed by cancer cells to the cytotoxic effect of ROS. Autophagy, which is a stress response mechanism, has been reported as a cellular pathway that reduces cell death following PDT. Recent studies have demonstrated that PDT in combination with other therapies can eliminate anticancer resistance. However, combination therapy is usually challenged by the differences in the pharmacokinetics of the drugs. Nanomaterials are excellent delivery systems for the efficient codelivery of two or more therapeutic agents. In this work, we report on the use of polysilsesquioxane (PSilQ) nanoparticles for the codelivery of chlorin-e6 (Ce6) and an autophagy inhibitor for early- or late-stage autophagy. Our results, obtained from a reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation assay and apoptosis and autophagy flux analyses, demonstrate that the reduced autophagy flux mediated by the combination approach afforded an increase in the phototherapeutic efficacy of Ce6-PSilQ nanoparticles. We envision that the promising results in the use of multimodal Ce6-PSilQ material as a codelivery system against cancer pave the way for its future application with other clinically relevant combinations.

Abstract
Among the several possible uses of nanoparticulated systems in biomedicine, their potential as theragnostic agents has received significant interest in recent times. In this work, we have taken advantage of the medical applications of Gadolinium as a contrast agent with the versatility and huge array of possibilities that microfluidics can help to create doped Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles with magnetic properties in an efficient and functional way. First, with the help of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), we performed a complete and precise study of all the elements and phases of our device to guarantee that our microfluidic system worked in the laminar regime and was not affected by the presence of nanoparticles through the flow requisite that is essential to guarantee homogeneous diffusion between the elements or phases in play. Then the obtained biomaterials were physiochemically characterized by means of XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, confocal Raman microscopy, and FT-IR, confirming the successful incorporation of the lanthanide element Gadolinium in part of the Ca (II) binding sites. Finally, the magnetic characterization confirmed the paramagnetic behaviour of the nanoparticles, demonstrating that, with a simple and automatized system, it is possible to obtain advanced nanomaterials that can offer a promising and innovative solution in theragnostic applications.

Abstract
Drug-delivery vehicles have garnered immense interest in recent years due to unparalleled progress made in material science and nanomedicine. However, the development of stimuli-responsive devices with controllable drug-release systems (DRSs) is still in its nascent stage. In this paper, we designed a two-way controlled drug-release system that can be promoted and prolonged, using the external stimulation of near-infrared light (NIR) and protein coating. A hierarchical nanostructure was fabricated using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-mesoporous silica as the core-shell structure with protein lysozyme coating. The mesoporous silica shell provides abundant pores for the loading of drug molecules and a specific type of photosensitive molecules. The morphology and the physical properties of the nanostructures were thoroughly characterized. The results exhibited the uniform core-shell nanostructures of ~four UCNPs encapsulated in one mesoporous silica nanoparticle. The core-shell nanoparticles were in the spherical shape with an average size of 200 nm, average surface area of 446.54 m2/g, and pore size of 4.6 nm. Using doxorubicin (DOX), a chemotherapy agent as the drug model, we demonstrated that a novel DRS with capacity of smart modulation to promote or inhibit the drug release under NIR light and protein coating, respectively. Further, we demonstrated the therapeutic effect of the designed DRSs using breast cancer cells. The reported novel controlled DRS with dual functionality could have a promising potential for chemotherapy treatment of solid cancers.

Abstract
Contrast-agent enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been under continuous investigation for the conspicuous imaging of lesions and the early-stage detection of tumors. To achieve the development of a T1-weighted contrast agent with a high relaxivity value, herein, porous silica nanoparticles that had internalized about 20 aquated cationic Gd(III) complexes (1) of the hexadentate hydroxyethyl-appended picolinate-based ligand H2hbda were demonstrated. Complex 1 exhibited a longitudinal relaxivity value per mM Gd(III) ions, r1, of 9.05 mM-1 s-1 (pH 7.4, 37 °C, 1.41 T), which increased to 86.41 mM-1 s-1 because of the grafting of complex 1 in the inner core of porous silica nanospheres through electrostatic interactions between the anionic silica surface and the cationic complex 1 molecules. A further augmentation in the relaxivity value to 118.32 mM-1 s-1 was realized because of the interaction of the complex 1@SiO2NPs with serum albumin protein. The synthesized nanosystem was impervious to physiologically available anions (HPO42- and HCO31-) and also kinetically inert, as evidenced via a transmetallation experiment in the presence of Zn(II) ions. The developed complex-incorporated nanomaterial was bio- and hemo-compatible. Cellular uptake measurements employing HeLa cells and the concentration-dependent enhancement in the brightness of in vitro phantom images, recorded under a clinical scanner at 1.5 T, demonstrated that the developed biocompatible 1@SiO2NP complex has promising diagnostic applications as a T1-weighted MRI contrast agent.

Abstract
The present review details a chronological description of the events that took place during the development of mesoporous materials, their different synthetic routes and their use as drug delivery systems. The outstanding textural properties of these materials quickly inspired their translation to the nanoscale dimension leading to mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). The different aspects of introducing pharmaceutical agents into the pores of these nanocarriers, together with their possible biodistribution and clearance routes, would be described here. The development of smart nanocarriers that are able to release a high local concentration of the therapeutic cargo on-demand after the application of certain stimuli would be reviewed here, together with their ability to deliver the therapeutic cargo to precise locations in the body. The huge progress in the design and development of MSNs for biomedical applications, including the potential treatment of different diseases, during the last 20 years will be collated here, together with the required work that still needs to be done to achieve the clinical translation of these materials. This review was conceived to stand out from past reports since it aims to tell the story of the development of mesoporous materials and their use as drug delivery systems by some of the story makers, who could be considered to be among the pioneers in this area.

Abstract
As a non-invasive imaging monitoring method, molecular imaging can provide the location and expression level of disease signature biomolecules in vivo, leading to early diagnosis of relevant diseases, improved treatment strategies, and accurate assessment of treating efficacy. In recent years, a variety of nanosized imaging probes have been developed and intensively investigated in fundamental/translational research and clinical practice. Meanwhile, as an interdisciplinary discipline, this field combines many subjects of chemistry, medicine, biology, radiology, and material science, etc. The successful molecular imaging not only requires advanced imaging equipment, but also the synthesis of efficient imaging probes. However, limited summary has been reported for recent advances of nanoprobes. In this paper, we summarized the recent progress of three common and main types of nanosized molecular imaging probes, including ultrasound (US) imaging nanoprobes, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) nanoprobes, and computed tomography (CT) imaging nanoprobes. The applications of molecular imaging nanoprobes were discussed in details. Finally, we provided an outlook on the development of next generation molecular imaging nanoprobes.

Abstract
With the discovery of cisplatin, a vast area of applications of metallodrugs in cancer treatment was opened but due to the side effects caused by the cisplatin complexes, researchers began to look for alternatives with similar anticancer properties but fewer side effects. Ruthenium was found to be a promising candidate, considering its significant anticancer properties and low side effects. Several ruthenium complexes, viz. NAMI-A, KP1019, KP1339, and TLD1433, have entered clinical trials. Some other arene ruthenium complexes such as RM175 and RAPTA-C have also entered clinical trials but very few of them have shown anti-metastatic properties. Herein, we provide information and probable mechanistic pathways for ruthenium(ii)-arene complexes that have been studied, so far, for their anti-metastatic activities. Also, we discuss the techniques and their significance for determining the anti-metastatic effects of the complexes.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the deadliest and most aggressive cancers, remarkably resilient to current therapeutic treatments. Here, we report preliminary in vivo studies of GBM treatments based on photo-nanotherapeutics to activate synergistic killing mechanisms. Core-shell nanoparticles have been weaponized by combining photophysical properties of a new generation PDT agent (Ir(III) complex) with the thermoplasmonic effects of resonant gold nanospheres. In order to investigate the damages induced in GBM treated with these photoactivable nanosystems, we employed X-ray phase-contrast tomography (XPCT). This high-resolution three-dimensional imaging technique highlighted a vast devascularization process by micro-vessels disruption, which is indicative of tumor elimination without relapse.

Abstract
Therapeutic oligonucleotides (TOs) represent one of the most promising drug candidates in the targeted cancer treatment due to their high specificity and capability of modulating cellular pathways that are not readily druggable. However, efficiently delivering of TOs to cancer cellular targets is still the biggest challenge in promoting their clinical translations. Emerging as a significant drug delivery vector, nanoparticles (NPs) can not only protect TOs from nuclease degradation and enhance their tumor accumulation, but also can improve the cell uptake efficiency of TOs as well as the following endosomal escape to increase the therapeutic index. Furthermore, targeted and on-demand drug release of TOs can also be approached to minimize the risk of toxicity towards normal tissues using stimuli-responsive NPs. In the past decades, remarkable progresses have been made on the TOs delivery based on various NPs with specific purposes. In this review, we will first give a brief introduction on the basis of TOs as well as the action mechanisms of several typical TOs, and then describe the obstacles that prevent the clinical translation of TOs, followed by a comprehensive overview of the recent progresses on TOs delivery based on several various types of nanocarriers containing lipid-based nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, porous nanoparticles, DNA/RNA nanoassembly, extracellular vesicles, and imaging-guided drug delivery nanoparticles.

Abstract
Although protein therapeutics is of significance in therapeutic intervention of cancers, controlled delivery of therapeutic proteins still faces substantial challenges including susceptibility to degradation and denaturation and poor membrane permeability. Herein, we report a sialic acid (SA)-imprinted biodegradable silica nanoparticles (BS-NPs)-based protein delivery strategy for targeted cancer therapy. Cytotoxic ribonuclease A (RNase A) was effectively caged in the matrix of disulfide-hybridized silica NPs (encapsulation efficiency of ∼64%), which were further functionalized with cancer targeting capability via surface imprinting with SA as imprinting template. Such nanovectors could not only maintain high stability in physiological conditions but also permit redox-triggered biodegradation for both concomitant release of the loaded therapeutic cargo and in vivo clearance. In vitro experiments confirmed that the SA-imprinted RNase A@BS-NPs could selectively target SA-overexpressed tumor cells, promote cells uptake, and subsequently be cleaved by intracellular glutathione (GSH), resulting in rapid release kinetics and enhanced cell cytotoxicity. In vivo experiments further confirmed that the SA-imprinted RNase A@BS-NPs had specific tumor-targeting ability and high therapeutic efficacy of RNase A in xenograft tumor model. Due to the specific targeting and traceless GSH-stimulated intracellular protein release, the SA-imprinted BS-NPs provided a promising platform for the delivery of biomacromolecules in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) have attracted considerable attention in the design of novel organic-inorganic hybrid materials with high performance capabilities. Features such as their well-defined nanoscale structure, chemical tunability, and biocompatibility make POSS an ideal building block to fabricate hybrid materials for biomedical applications. This review highlights recent advances in the application of POSS-based hybrid materials, with particular emphasis on drug delivery, photodynamic therapy and bioimaging. The design and synthesis of POSS-based materials is described, along with the current methods for controlling their chemical functionalization for biomedical applications. We summarize the advantages of using POSS for several drug delivery applications. We also describe the current progress on using POSS-based materials to improve photodynamic therapies. The use of POSS for delivery of contrast agents or as a passivating agent for nanoprobes is also summarized. We envision that POSS-based hybrid materials have great potential for a variety of biomedical applications including drug delivery, photodynamic therapy and bioimaging.

Abstract
Identification of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque before rupture is an unmet clinical need. Integrating nanomedicine with multimodal imaging has the potential to precisely detect biological processes in atherosclerosis. We synthesized silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (SIONs) coated with rhodamine B isothiocyanate and polyethylene glycol and investigated their feasibility in the detection of macrophages in inflamed atherosclerotic plaques of apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice via magnetic resonance (MR) and fluorescence reflectance (FR) imaging. In vitro cellular uptake of SIONs was assessed in macrophages using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). In vivo MR imaging was performed 24 h after SION injection via the tail vein in 26-week-old ApoE-/- mice fed a high-cholesterol diet (HCD). We also performed FR imaging of the extracted aortas from four different mice: two normal-diet-fed C57BL/6 mice injected with saline or 10 mg/kg SIONs and two HCD-fed ApoE-/- mice injected with 5 or 10 mg/kg SIONs. The harvested aortas were cryosectioned and stained with immunohistochemical staining. The CLSM images at 24 h after incubation showed efficient uptake of SIONs by macrophages, with no evidence of cytotoxicity. The in vivo and ex vivo MR and FR images demonstrated SION deposition in the atheroma. Upon immunohistochemical staining of the aorta, CLSM images revealed colocalization of macrophages and SIONs in the atherosclerotic plaque. These results demonstrate that polyethylene glycosylated SIONs could be a highly effective method to identify macrophage activity in atherosclerotic plaques as a multimodal imaging agent.

Abstract
The efficient and safe delivery of therapeutic drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids are essential for meaningful therapeutic benefits. The field of nanomedicine shows promising implications in the development of therapeutics by delivering diagnostic and therapeutic compounds. Nanomedicine development has led to significant advances in the design and engineering of nanocarrier systems with supra-molecular structures. Smart mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), with excellent biocompatibility, tunable physicochemical properties, and site-specific functionalization, offer efficient and high loading capacity as well as robust and targeted delivery of a variety of payloads in a controlled fashion. Such unique nanocarriers should have great potential for challenging biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, bioimaging techniques, stem cell research, and cancer therapies. However, in vivo applications of these nanocarriers should be further validated before clinical translation. To this end, this review begins with a brief introduction of MSNs properties, targeted drug delivery, and controlled release with a particular emphasis on their most recent diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Composite colloidal nanoparticles were prepared by a carbonate controlled-addition method in the presence of phytic acid, in which an aqueous ammonium carbonate solution was added into an aqueous solution of phytic acid and CaCl2. The number-average particle size of the colloidal particles was 76 ± 18 nm formed by using the molar ratio [phytic acid]/[Ca2+] = 0.5 from the complexation time of 1 h. The composite nanoparticles were stable for more than 5 days in the suspension under the quiescent condition. After isolation of the nanoparticles by ultrafiltration, the dried samples could be redispersed in water. Effects of the complexation times of the aqueous solution of phytic acid and CaCl2 and the molar ratio ([phytic acid]/[Ca2+]) were studied. Increasing the concentration of the calcium reagents as well as increasing the complexation times increased the particle sizes. The minimum and maximum average particle sizes of 29 and 142 nm were obtained. The plot of the transmittance at 350 nm of the aqueous solution of the dispersion against pH values after addition of 0.05 M HCl for 6 h showed that, by gradually increasing turbidity with decreasing pH from 9.6 to 7.3, precipitates were recognized at below pH 7.5, and turbidity decreased with further decreasing pH beyond 7.2. Dynamic light scattering analysis showed that the particle diameters increased from 90 to 200 nm with decreasing pH from 9.6 to 7.2. When increasing the pH from 6.2, the precipitate was redispersed and the turbidity increased to a pH of 7.4. No precipitates were observed above a pH of 7.4. These results suggest that the present phytic acid stabilized nanoparticles exhibit pH-dependent reversible precipitation and redispersion without degradation under slightly acidic conditions.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been studied intensively during the past decade. A large variety of mesopore capping systems have been designed, initially to show that it could be done and later for biomedical applications such as drug delivery and imaging. On-command release of cargo molecules such as drugs from the pores can be activated by a variety of stimuli. This paper focuses on three noninvasive, biologically usable external stimuli: magnetism, ultrasound, and light. We survey the variety of MSNs that have been and are being used and assess capping designs and the advantages and drawbacks of the nanoplatforms' responses to the various stimuli. We discuss important recent advances, their basic mechanisms, and their requirements for stimulation. On the basis of our survey, we identify fundamental challenges and suggest future directions for research that will unleash the full potential of these fascinating nanosystems for clinical applications.

Abstract
The level of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in serum has the significant reference value for early diagnosis and treatment of various cancers. However, the CEA detection still suffers from the issue of limited sensitivity and reliability. Herein, a fluorescence (FL)-infrared absorption (IRA) dual-mode nanoprobe was fabricated based on carbon dots (CDs)@SiO2 nanorod for CEA detection. The FL and IRA signals display no mutual interference and can verify each other, ensuring the reliability of assay results. The highly sensitive FL signal originating from the CDs is enhanced by the surface passivation of SiO2 and improves the overall sensitivity of the detection. The detection range spans 9 orders of magnitude and the limit of detection reaches 794.6 ag mL-1, which are great superior to the commercial kits and most of the previous reports. Satisfactory recovery over the commercial kits was achieved in real serum samples. The ultrasensitive and reliable FL-IRA detection strategy sheds light on a new avenue toward promoting the practicability of the nanoprobes in clinical cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Silica-based mesoporous systems have gained great interest in drug delivery applications due to their excellent biocompatibility and high loading capability. However, these materials face challenges in terms of pore-size limitations since they are characterized by nanopores ranging between 6-8 nm and thus unsuitable to host large molecular weight molecules such as proteins, enzymes and growth factors (GFs). In this work, for an application in the field of bone regeneration, large-pore mesoporous silicas (LPMSs) were developed to vehicle large biomolecules and release them under a pH stimulus. Considering bone remodeling, the proposed pH-triggered mechanism aims to mimic the release of GFs encased in the bone matrix due to bone resorption by osteoclasts (OCs) and the associated pH drop. To this aim, LPMSs were prepared by using 1,3,5-trimethyl benzene (TMB) as a swelling agent and the synthesis solution was hydrothermally treated and the influence of different process temperatures and durations on the resulting mesostructure was investigated. The synthesized particles exhibited a cage-like mesoporous structure with accessible pores of diameter up to 23 nm. LPMSs produced at 140 °C for 24 h showed the best compromise in terms of specific surface area, pores size and shape and hence, were selected for further experiments. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used as model protein to evaluate the ability of the LPMSs to adsorb and release large biomolecules. After HRP-loading, LPMSs were coated with a pH-responsive polymer, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), allowing the release of the incorporated biomolecules in response to a pH decrease, in an attempt to mimic GFs release in bone under the acidic pH generated by the resorption activity of OCs. The reported results proved that PEG-coated carriers released HRP more quickly in an acidic environment, due to the protonation of PEG at low pH that catalyzes polymer hydrolysis reaction. Our findings indicate that LPMSs could be used as carriers to deliver large biomolecules and prove the effectiveness of PEG as pH-responsive coating. Finally, as proof of concept, a collagen-based suspension was obtained by incorporating PEG-coated LPMS carriers into a type I collagen matrix with the aim of designing a hybrid formulation for 3D-printing of bone scaffolds.

Abstract
The coexistence of nanoparticles and organic toxicants in the environment modifies pollutant bioavailability and toxicity. This study investigated the influence of silicon dioxide nanoparticles (n-SiO2) on the uptake of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and its impact on the thyroid endocrine system in zebrafish larvae. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were exposed to TBBPA at different concentrations (50, 100, and 200 μg/L) alone or in combination with n-SiO2 (25 mg/L) until 120 h post-fertilization (hpf). Chemical measurements showed that both TBBPA and n-SiO2 were bioconcentrated in zebrafish larvae, and the uptake of TBBPA was enhanced by n-SiO2. Furthermore, zebrafish larvae exposed to 200 μg/L TBBPA alone exhibited significantly increased T4 contents and decreased T3 contents, whereas n-SiO2 treatment alone did not have a detectable effect. Furthermore, the thyroid hormone levels changed more upon treatment with 200 μg/L TBBPA combined with 25 mg/L n-SiO2 than upon TBBPA treatment alone. Alterations in gene transcription along the related hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis were observed, and expression of the binding and transport protein transthyretin (TTR) was significantly decreased for both TBBPA alone and co-exposure with n-SiO2. Thus, the current study demonstrates that n-SiO2, even at the nontoxic concentrations, increases thyroid hormone disruption in zebrafish larvae co-exposed to TBBPA by promoting its bioaccumulation and bioavailability.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Self-assembling protein subunits hold great potential as biomaterials with improved functions. Among the self-assembled protein structures functional amyloids are promising unique properties such as resistance to harsh physical and chemical conditions their mechanical strength, and ease of functionalization. Curli proteins, which are functional amyloids of bacterial biofilms can be programmed as intelligent biomaterials. EXPERIMENTS In order to obtain controllable curli based biomaterials for biomedical applications, and to understand role of each of the curli forming monomeric proteins (namely CsgA and CsgB from Escherichia coli) we characterized their binding kinetics to gold, hydroxyapatite, and silica surfaces. FINDINGS We demonstrated that CsgA, CsgB, and their equimolar mixture have different binding strengths for different surfaces. On hydroxyapatite and silica surfaces, CsgB is the crucial element that determines the final adhesiveness of the CsgA-CsgB mixture. On the gold surface, on the other hand, CsgA controls the behavior of the mixture. Those findings uncover the binding behavior of curli proteins CsgA and CsgB on different biomedically valuable surfaces to obtain a more precise control on their adhesion to a targeted surface.

Abstract
Gadolinium(III) nanoconjugate contrast agents (CAs) provide significant advantages over small-molecule complexes for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), namely increased Gd(III) payload and enhanced proton relaxation efficiency (relaxivity, r1). Previous research has demonstrated that both the structure and surface chemistry of the nanomaterial substantially influence contrast. We hypothesized that inserting Gd(III) complexes in the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF) might offer a unique strategy to further explore the parameters of nanomaterial structure and composition, which influence relaxivity. Herein, we postsynthetically incorporate Gd(III) complexes into Zr-MOFs using solvent-assisted ligand incorporation (SALI). Through the study of Zr-based MOFs, NU-1000 (nano and micronsize particles) and NU-901, we investigated the impact of particle size and pore shape on proton relaxivity. The SALI-functionalized Gd nano NU-1000 hybrid material displayed the highest loading of the Gd(III) complex (1.9 ± 0.1 complexes per node) and exhibited the most enhanced proton relaxivity (r1 of 26 ± 1 mM-1 s-1 at 1.4 T). Based on nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) analysis, we can attribute the performance of Gd nano NU-1000 to the nanoscale size of the MOF particles and larger pore size that allows for rapid water exchange. We have demonstrated that SALI is a promising method for incorporating Gd(III) complexes into MOF materials and identified crucial design parameters for the preparation of next generation Gd(III)-functionalized MOF MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
Programmable nucleic acid nanoparticles (NANPs) with precisely controlled functional compositions can regulate the conditional activation of various biological pathways and responses in human cells. However, the intracellular delivery of NANPs alone is hindered by their susceptibility to nuclease activity and inefficient crossing of biological membranes. In this work, we optimized the internalization and therapeutic performance of several representative NANPs delivered with mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) tailored for efficient electrostatic association with NANPs. We compared the immunostimulatory properties of different NA-MS-NP complexes formed with globular, planar, and fibrous NANPs and demonstrated the maximum immunostimulation for globular NANPs. As a proof of concept, we assessed the specific gene silencing by NA-MS-NP complexes functionalized with siRNA targeting green fluorescent protein expressed in triple-negative human breast cancer cells. We showed that the fibrous NANPs have the highest silencing efficiency when compared to globular or planar counterparts. Finally, we confirmed the multimodal ability of MSNPs to co-deliver a chemotherapy drug, doxorubicin, and NANPs targeting apoptosis regulator gene BCL2 in triple-negative breast cancer and melanoma cell lines. Overall, the combination of NANPs and MSNPs may become a new promising approach to efficiently treat cancer and other diseases via the simultaneous targeting of various pathways.

Abstract
The anchoring of lanthanide(III) chelates on the surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) allowed their investigation as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) contrast agents. Since their efficiency is strongly related to the interaction occurring between Ln-chelates and “bulk” water, an estimation of the water diffusion inside MSNs channels is very relevant. Herein, a method based on the exploitation of the CEST properties of TbDO3A-MSNs was applied to evaluate the effect of water diffusion inside MSN channels. Two MSNs, namely MCM-41 and SBA-15, with different pores size distributions were functionalized with TbDO3A-like chelates and polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules and characterized by HR-TEM microscopy, IR spectroscopy, N2 physisorption, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The different distribution of Tb-complexes in the two systems, mainly on the external surface in case of MCM-41 or inside the internal pores for SBA-15, resulted in variable CEST efficiency. Since water molecules diffuse slowly inside silica channels, the CEST effect of the LnDO3A-SBA-15 system was found to be one order of magnitude lower than in the case of TbDO3A-MCM-41. The latter system reaches an excellent sensitivity of ca. 55 ± 5 μM, which is useful for future theranostic or imaging applications.

Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown a great potential in biomedicine due to their promising applications in different fields, including drug delivery, thermometry, theranostics etc. In this context, the development of magnetic sub-micrometric or nanometric MOFs through miniaturization approaches of magnetic MOFs up to the nanoscale still represents a crucial step to fabricate biomedical probes, especially in the field of theranostic nanomedicine. Miniaturization processes have to be properly designed to tailor the size and shape of particles and to retain magnetic properties and high porosity in the same material, fundamental prerequisites to develop smart nanocarriers integrating simultaneously therapeutic and contrast agents for targeted chemotherapy or other specific clinical use. An overview of current trends on the design of magnetic nanoMOFs in the field of biomedicine, with particular emphasis on theranostics and bioimaging, is herein envisioned.

Abstract
Nano silicon dioxide (Nano-SiO2) has been widely used in industries such as the field of biomedical engineering. Despite the existing evidence that Nano-SiO2 exposure could induce oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in multiple organ systems, the carcinogenicity of Nano-SiO2 exposure has rarely been investigated. Thus in this study, two types of human bronchial epithelial cell lines (16HBE and BEAS-2B) were selected as in vitro models to investigate the carcinogenicity of Nano-SiO2. Our results revealed that Nano-SiO2 induces a malignant cellular transformation in human bronchial epithelial cells according to the soft agar colony formation assay. The carcinogenesis induced by Nano-SiO2 was also confirmed in nude mice. By using immunofluorescence assay and high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE), we observed a genome-wide DNA hypomethylation induced by Nano-SiO2. Besides the reduced enzyme activity of total DNMTs upon Nano-SiO2 treatment, altered expression of DNMTs and methyl-CpG binding proteins were observed. Besides, we found that the expression of NRF2 was activated by demethylation of CpG islands within the NRF2 promoter region and the overexpression of NRF2 could alleviate the carcinogenesis induced by Nano-SiO2. Taken together, our results suggested that Nano-SiO2 induces malignant cellular transformation with a global DNA hypomethylation, and the demethylation of NRF2 promoter activates the expression of NRF2, which plays an important role in protecting against the carcinogenesis induced by Nano-SiO2.

Abstract
A biomedical contrast agent serves to enhance the visualisation of a specific (potentially targeted) physiological region. In recent years, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have developed as a flexible imaging platform of tuneable size/morphology, abundant surface chemistry, biocompatibility and otherwise useful physiochemical properties. This review discusses MSN structural types and synthetic strategies, as well as methods for surface functionalisation. Recent applications in biomedical imaging are then discussed, with a specific emphasis on magnetic resonance and optical modes together with utility in multimodal imaging.

Gadolinium-based bimodal probes to enhance T1-Weighted magnetic resonance/optical imaging. Acta Biomater 2020; 110:15-36. [PMID: 32335310 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.03.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2019] [Revised: 03/30/2020] [Accepted: 03/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Gd3+-based contrast agents have been extensively used for signal enhancement of T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to the large magnetic moment and long electron spin relaxation time of the paramagnetic Gd3+ ion. The key requisites for the development of Gd3+-based contrast agents are their relaxivities and stabilities which can be achieved by chemical modifications. These modifications include coordinating Gd3+ with a chelator such as diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) or 1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA), encapsulating Gd3+ in nanoparticles, conjugation to biomacromolecules such as polymer micelles and liposomes, or non-covalent binding to plasma proteins. In order to have a coherent diagnostic and therapeutic approach and to understand diseases better, the combination of MRI and optical imaging (OI) techniques into one technique entity has been developed to overcome the conventional boundaries of either imaging modality used alone through bringing the excellent spatial resolution of MRI and high sensitivity of OI into full play. Novel MRI and OI bimodal probes have been extensively studied in this regard. This review is an attempt to shed some light on the bimodal imaging probes by summarizing all recent noteworthy publications involving Gd3+ containing MR-optical imaging probes. The several key elements such as novel synthetic strategy, high sensitivity, biocompatibility, and targeting of the probes are highlighted in the review. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The present article aims at giving an overview of the existing bimodal MRI and OI imaging probes. The review structured as a series of examples of paramagnetic Gd3+ ions, either as ions in the crystalline structure of inorganic materials or chelates for contrast enhancement in MRI, while they are used as optical imaging probes in different modes. The comprehensive review focusing on the synthetic strategies, characterizations and properties of these bimodal imaging probes will be helpful in a way to prepare related work.
