[PMID: 38805763 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
Engineered calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles are extensively used as drug delivery systems due to their availability, biological compatibility, biodegradability, and cost-effective production. The synthesis procedure of CaCO3 particles, however, suffers from poor reproducibility. Furthermore, reducing the size of CaCO3 particles to <100 nm requires the use of additives in the reaction, which increases the total reaction time. Here we propose on-chip synthesis and loading of nanoscaled CaCO3 particles using microfluidics. After the development and fabrication of a microfluidic device, we optimized the synthesis of CaCO3 NPs by varying different parameters such as flow rates in the microfluidic channels, concentration of reagents, and the reaction time. To prove the versatility of the used synthesis route, we performed single and double loading of CaCO3 NPs with various compounds (Doxorubicin, Cy5 or FITC conjugated with BSA, and DNA) using the same microfluidic device. Further, the on-chip loaded CaCO3 NPs were used as carriers to transfer compounds to model cells. We have developed a microfluidic synthesis method that opens up a new pathway for easy on-chip fabrication of functional nanoparticles for clinical use.

Abstract
Targeted breast cancer therapies hold the potential to improve the efficiency of drug delivery to the pathology site without impacting the viability and function of healthy cells. Herein, we developed multifunctional nanocarriers that target simultaneously several downstream signaling processes in triple negative breast cancer cells. The system comprises pH sensitive CaCO3 nanoparticles (NPs) as carriers of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). The NPs were coated in a layer-by-layer (LbL) fashion using poly-l-lysine and hyaluronic acid to target receptors overexpressed in breast cancer (e.g. CD44, RHAMM). Spheroids of the triple-negative Hs578T cell line were used as a 3D model to assess the therapeutic potential of this system. Our results showed that the NPs act via a synergistic mechanism that combines Ca2+ overload causing cell calcification and DNA damage by DOX. The LbL coating was crucial for the protection of the healthy cells, i.e. it provides NPs with targeting capacity. The overall data suggests that the LbL-coated NPs loaded with DOX hold great potential for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
In recent years, nanomotors have been developed and attracted extensive attention in biomedical applications. In this work, a magnetically-guided oxygen-propelled CoPt/gold nanosheet motor (NSM) was prepared and used as an active self-propelled platform that can load, transfer and control the release of drug carrier to cancer cells. As a drug carrier, the microcapsules were constructed by the layer-by-layer (LbL) coating of chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose layers, followed by incorporation of gold and magnetite nanoparticles. Doxorubicin (DOX) as an anti-cancer drug was loaded onto the synthesized microcapsules with a loading efficiency of 77%. The prepared NSMs can deliver the DOX loaded magnetic multilayer microcapsule to the target cancer cell based on the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 solution (1% v/v) via guidance from an external magnetic force. The velocity of NSM was determined to be 25.1 μm s-1 in 1% H2O2. Under near-infrared irradiation, and due to the photothermal effect of the gold nanoparticles, the proposed system was found to rapidly release more drugs compared to that of an internal stimulus diffusion process. Moreover, the investigation of cytotoxicity of NSMs and multilayer microcapsules clearly revealed that they have negligible side effects over all the concentrations tested.

Abstract
Cargo molecule-encapsulated DNA capsules synthesized with a solid sacrificial template have elicited significant interest in the last decade and have been used for active materials in applications ranging from biosensors to drug delivery. However, the correlation between template properties and the subsequent assembly and triggered release behavior of the resultant carriers remain uninvestigated. In this study, ethylene glycol (EG) was added during the CaCO3 precipitation synthesis to yield particles of various sizes and surface properties, and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-responsive release characteristics of the fabricated DNA capsules affected by these particle properties were investigated. The geometry, crystallization, and surface morphology of the CaCO3 particles co-precipitated at various EG concentrations were characterized. We discuss the integrity of cross-linking hybridization, fluorescent molecule internalization, degree of leakage, and release efficiency of the resulting DNA capsules and their relevance brought by particle properties. To achieve efficient encapsulation and cargo release, the surface roughness of the CaCO3 particles was explored and was deemed a key determinant of the compactness of the DNA shell after template removal. This effect was particularly strong in CaCO3 particles in connection with high EG concentrations. The DNA capsules fabricated using 83% EG exhibited low leakage, high loading, and moderate release efficiencies as well as a greater apparent association constant with ATP due to their small particle size and the high-integrity DNA shells.

Abstract
Transferring the layer-by-layer (LbL) coating approach from planar surfaces to spherical templates and subsequently dissolving these templates leads to the fabrication of polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules. The versatility of the coatings of capsules and their flexibility upon bringing in virtually any material into the coatings has quickly drawn substantial attention. Here, we provide an overview of the main developments in this field, highlighting the trends in the last decade. In the beginning, various methods of encapsulation and release are discussed followed by a broad range of applications, which were developed and explored. We also outline the current trends, where the range of applications is continuing to grow, including addition of whole new and different application areas.

Abstract
Nanoarchitectonics, like architectonics, allows the design and building of structures, but at the nanoscale. Unlike those in architectonics, and even macro-, micro-, and atomic-scale architectonics, the assembled structures at the nanoscale do not always follow the projected design. In fact, they do follow the projected design but only for self-assembly processes producing structures with perfect order. Here, we look at nanoarchitectonics allowing the building of nanostructures without a perfect arrangement of building blocks. Here, fabrication of structures from molecules, polymers, nanoparticles, and nanosheets to polymer brushes, layer-by-layer assembly structures, and hydrogels through self-assembly processes is discussed, where perfect order is not necessarily the aim to be achieved. Both planar substrate and spherical template-based assemblies are discussed, showing the challenging nature of research in this field and the usefulness of such structures for numerous applications, which are also discussed here.

Abstract
Because free therapeutic drug molecules often have adverse effects on normal tissues, deliver scanty drug concentrations and exhibit a potentially low efficacy at pathological sites, various drug carriers have been developed for preclinical and clinical trials. Their physicochemical and toxicological properties are the subject of extensive research. Inorganic calcium carbonate particles are promising candidates as drug delivery carriers owning to their hardness, porous internal structure, high surface area, distinctive pH-sensitivity, low degradability, etc, while soft organic alginate hydrogels are also widely used because of their special advantages such as a high hydration, bio-adhesiveness, and non-antigenicity. Here, we review these two distinct substances as well as hybrid structures encompassing both types of carriers. Methods of their synthesis, fundamental properties and mechanisms of formation, and their respective applications are described. Furthermore, we summarize and compare similarities versus differences taking into account unique advantages and disadvantages of these drug delivery carriers. Moreover, rational combination of both carrier types due to their performance complementarity (yin-&yang properties: in general, yin is referred to for definiteness as hard, and yang is broadly taken as soft) is proposed to be used in the so-called hybrid carriers endowing them with even more advanced properties envisioned to be attractive for designing new drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Since the conceptualization of nanomedicine, numerous nanostructure-mediated drug formulations have progressed into clinical trials for treating cancer. However, recent clinical trial results indicate such kind of drug formulations has a limited improvement on the antitumor efficacy. This is due to the biological barriers associated with those formulations, for example, circulation stability, extravasation efficiency in tumor, tumor penetration ability, and developed multi-drug resistance. When employing for nanomedicine formulations, pristine organic-based and inorganic-based nanostructures have their own limitations. Accordingly, organic/inorganic (O/I) hybrids have been developed to integrate the merits of both, and to minimize their intrinsic drawbacks. In this context, the recent development in O/I hybrids resulting from a self-assembly strategy will be introduced. Through such a strategy, organic and inorganic building blocks can be self-assembled via either chemical covalent bonds or physical interactions. Based on the self-assemble procedure, the hybridization of four organic building blocks including liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, and polymeric nanocapsules with five functional inorganic nanoparticles comprising gold nanostructures, magnetic nanoparticles, carbon-based materials, quantum dots, and silica nanoparticles will be highlighted. The recent progress of these O/I hybrids in advanced modalities for combating cancer, such as, therapeutic agent delivery, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy will be systematically reviewed.

Abstract
The anisotropy in the shape of polymeric particles has been demonstrated to have many advantages over spherical particulates, including bio-mimetic behavior, shaped-directed flow, deformation, surface adhesion, targeting, motion, and permeability. The layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is uniquely suited for synthesizing anisotropic particles as this method allows for simple and versatile replication of diverse colloid geometries with precise control over their chemical and physical properties. This review highlights recent progress in anisotropic particles of micrometer and nanometer sizes produced by a templated multilayer assembly of synthetic and biological macromolecules. Synthetic approaches to produce capsules and hydrogels utilizing anisotropic templates such as biological, polymeric, bulk hydrogel, inorganic colloids, and metal-organic framework crystals as sacrificial templates are overviewed. Structure-property relationships controlled by the anisotropy in particle shape and surface are discussed and compared with their spherical counterparts. Advances and challenges in controlling particle properties through varying shape anisotropy and surface asymmetry are outlined. The perspective applications of anisotropic colloids in biomedicine, including programmed behavior in the blood and tissues as artificial cells, nano-motors/sensors, and intelligent drug carriers are also discussed.

Abstract
Analytical methods with high sensitivities and short assay times are urgently required for the screening of "zero tolerance" hazardous substances in food. Herein, we propose a fluorescent immunoassay for the highly sensitive and rapid analysis of chloramphenicol (CAP) based on carbon dots (CDs)-encapsulated CaCO3 nanospheres and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The fluorescent immunoprobes were prepared by coupling the anti-CAP antibodies to carboxymethyl cellulose-functional CDs@CaCO3 nanospheres. Chitosan-modified MNPs with "core-shell" structures were prepared and then conjugated to the CAP hapten, acting as the nano-carrier and interface for the immunoreaction. With the assistance of MNPs, the established fluorescent immunoassay achieved the sensitive detection of CAP in chicken with a limit of detection of 0.03 μg kg-1 and recoveries ranging from 83.7%-105.0%. The analysis results of the fluorescent immunoassay were evaluated by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, having a correlation coefficient of 0.981. Our work provides a rapid, facile, and reliable strategy for the highly sensitive analysis of food contaminants based on "green" fluorescent nanoprobes.

Abstract
Core-shell particles made of calcium carbonate and coated with biocompatible polymers using the Layer-by-Layer technique can be considered as a unique drug-delivery platform that enables us to load different therapeutic compounds, exhibits a high biocompatibility, and can integrate several stimuli-responsive mechanisms for drug release. However, before implementation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, such core-shell particles require a comprehensive in vivo evaluation in terms of physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. Positron emission tomography (PET) is an advanced imaging technique for the evaluation of in vivo biodistribution of drug carriers; nevertheless, an incorporation of positron emitters in these carriers is needed. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate the radiolabeling approaches of calcium carbonate core-shell particles with different sizes (CaCO3 micron-sized core-shell particles (MicCSPs) and CaCO3 submicron-sized core-shell particles (SubCSPs)) to precisely determine their in vivo biodistribution after intravenous administration in rats. For this, several methods of radiolabeling have been developed, where the positron emitter (68Ga) was incorporated into the particle's core (co-precipitation approach) or onto the surface of the shell (either layer coating or adsorption approaches). According to the obtained data, radiochemical bounding and stability of 68Ga strongly depend on the used radiolabeling approach, and the co-precipitation method has shown the best radiochemical stability in human serum (96-98.5% for both types of core-shell particles). Finally, we demonstrate the size-dependent effect of core-shell particles' distribution on the specific organ uptake, using a combination of imaging techniques, PET, and computerized tomography (CT), as well as radiometry of separate organs. Thus, our findings open up new perspectives of CaCO3-radiolabeled core-shell particles for their further implementation into clinical practice.

Abstract
Here we report new organic/inorganic hybrid colloidal liquid crystals that consist of colloidal calcium carbonate (CaCO3)/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) hybrid nanodisks. We selectively synthesized anisotropic liquid-crystalline CaCO3-based nanodisk and nanorod composites in water/methanol mixtures, which formed discotic and calamitic nematic liquid crystals in their colloidal dispersions, respectively. The vaterite nanodisks and calcite nanorods were selectively synthesized in methanol-rich and water-rich solutions, respectively. The observation of these materials with transmission electron microscopy clarified the atomic-scale structures of these nanodisks and nanorods, revealing the self-organized CaCO3/PAA hybrid structures with the ability to form colloidal liquid crystals. The liquid crystals were prepared under mild and aqueous conditions by methods using acidic polymers inspired by the biomineralization process. The present approach provides new insights into the design of organic/inorganic hybrid colloidal liquid crystals and development of environmentally friendly functional hybrid materials.

Abstract
The mechanical properties of microparticles intended for in vivo applications as drug delivery vehicles are among important parameters that influence their circulation in the blood and govern particle biodistribution. We report on the synthesis of soft but mechanically robust spherical capsules via a hydrogen-bonded multilayer assembly of (poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone), Mw = 10 000 g mol-1) with (poly(methacrylic acid) Mw = 100 000 g mol-1)) (PVPON/PMAA)n in methanol using 4 μm nonporous silica microparticles as sacrificial templates, where n = 5 and 10 and represents the bilayer number. The mechanical properties of (PVPON/PMAA)n spherical capsules were assessed using the osmotic pressure difference method and resulted in an elasticity modulus of 97 ± 8 MPa, which is in the range of Young's modulus for elastomeric networks. We also found that hydrogen-bonded (PVPON/PMAA)10 capsules demonstrated almost complete recovery from a concave buckled inward shape induced by the osmotic pressure difference from the addition of polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) to the capsule solution to their initial spherical shape within 12 h after the PSS solution was rinsed off. The permeability measurements through the capsule shell using fluorescently labeled dextran molecular probes revealed that the average mesh size of the hydrogen-bonded network assembled in methanol is in the range of 3 to 9 nm and is not permeable to FITC-dextran with a molecular weight of >40 000 g mol-1. Our study shows that physically cross-linked polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules are capable of withstanding large deformations, which is essential to the development of adaptable particles for controlled delivery.

Abstract
Layer by layer (LbL) assembly can be regarded as an emerging technology for the separation of organic micro-pollutants from water. Direct assembly of polyelectrolytes (PEs) under LbL mode on natural support material is rare. Here we report the integration of LbL to one of the most resourceful support materials that might have an enduring impact on water treatment in color industry. A low-cost adsorbent is developed from chitosan (CHI) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) through LbL deposition on coir fiber (CF) by alternate exposure to their aqueous solutions. Their layer dependent formation is characterized by spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. CHI/PAA multilayer coated coir fiber or simply, layered coir fiber (LCF) showed high loading of cationic and anionic dyes both at acidic and alkaline loading pH. The loading was between 70% and 99% at the acidic pH 3 which is attributed to the binding between LCF and dye molecules by electrostatic and hydrophobic forces. The performance of LCF in presence of NaCl, Na2SO4 and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in dye solution is discussed. Textile industrial waste water showed significant reduction in dye (81%) content along with COD (84%) and TDS.

Abstract
We have designed sensors based on Ag nanoparticles synthesized in situ on the vaterite beads. In this article we demonstrate an approach to produce size controllable spherical and elliptical vaterite particles and discuss time-dependent in situ Ag nanoparticles synthesis and its potential effect on surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The time dependent silver reduction synthesis in inorganic porous particles allows to regulate the number and size of Ag nanoparticles. It is shown that the irregular surface and high porosity of vaterite particles and large amount (surface filling factor) of the Ag nanoparticles are the critical parameters to increase the SERS signal to 104 times. Such inorganic composites have a huge potential in medical applications; soon they provide an opportunity to study intracellular processes in vivo. The detailed characterization of the microstructure of these composites was studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, including 3D visualization and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis.

Abstract
Hydrogel microcapsules are improved transplantation delivery vehicles for pharmaceuticals by effectively segregating the active ingredients from the surroundings and delivering them to a certain target site. Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is an attractive process to fabricate the nano-sized hydrogel microcapsules. In this study, nano-sized hydrogel microcapsules were prepared through LbL assembly using calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CaCO₃ NPs) as the sacrificial inorganic template, sodium alginate (SA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) as the shell materials. Ciprofloxacin was used to study the encapsulation and release properties of the hydrogel microcapsules. The hydrogel microcapsules were further adsorbed onto the paper to render antimicrobial properties. The results showed that the mean size of the CaCO₃ template was reduced after dispersing into sodium n-dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution under sonication. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) revealed that some hydrogel microcapsules had a diameter under 200 nm, typical creases and collapses were found on the surface. The nano-sized PEI/SA hydrogel microcapsules showed high loading capacity of ciprofloxacin and a sustained release. PEI/SA hydrogel microcapsules rendered good antimicrobial properties onto the paper by the adsorption of hydrogel microcapsules, however, the mechanical properties of the hygiene paper were decreased.

Abstract
Hollow multilayered capsules have shown massive potential for being used in the biomedical and biotechnology fields, in applications such as cellular internalization, intracellular trafficking, drug delivery, or tissue engineering. In particular, hollow microcapsules, developed by resorting to porous calcium carbonate sacrificial templates, natural-origin building blocks and the prominent Layer-by-Layer (LbL) technology, have attracted increasing attention owing to their key features. However, these microcapsules revealed a great tendency to aggregate, which represents a major hurdle when aiming for cellular internalization and intracellular therapeutics delivery. Herein, we report the preparation of well-dispersed polysaccharide-based hollow multilayered microcapsules by combining the LbL technique with an optimized purification process. Cationic chitosan (CHT) and anionic alginate (ALG) were chosen as the marine origin polysaccharides due to their biocompatibility and structural similarity to the extracellular matrices of living tissues. Moreover, the inexpensive and highly versatile LbL technology was used to fabricate core-shell microparticles and hollow multilayered microcapsules, with precise control over their composition and physicochemical properties, by repeating the alternate deposition of both materials. The microcapsules' synthesis procedure was optimized to extensively reduce their natural aggregation tendency, as shown by the morphological analysis monitored by advanced microscopy techniques. The well-dispersed microcapsules showed an enhanced uptake by fibroblasts, opening new perspectives for cellular internalization.

Abstract
The encapsulation of living cells is appealing for its various applications to cell-based sensors, bioreactors, biocatalysts, and bioenergy. In this work, we introduce the encapsulation of multiple microalgal cells in hollow polymer shells of rhombohedral shape by the following sequential processes: embedding of microalgae in CaCO₃ crystals; layer-by-layer (LbL) coating of polyelectrolytes; and removal of sacrificial crystals. The microcapsule size was controlled by the alteration of CaCO₃ crystal size, which is dependent on CaCl₂/Na₂CO₃ concentration. The microalgal cells could be embedded in CaCO₃ crystals by a two-step process: heterogeneous nucleation of crystal on the cell surface followed by cell embedment by the subsequent growth of crystal. The surfaces of the microalgal cells were highly favorable for the crystal growth of calcite; thus, micrometer-sized microalgae could be perfectly occluded in the calcite crystal without changing its rhombohedral shape. The surfaces of the microcapsules, moreover, could be decorated with gold nanoparticles, Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), by which we would expect the functionalities of a light-triggered release, magnetic separation, and enhanced mechanical and electrical strength, respectively. This approach, entailing the encapsulation of microalgae in semi-permeable and hollow polymer microcapsules, has the potential for application to microbial-cell immobilization for high-biomass-concentration cultivation as well as various other bioapplications.

Next-Generation Theranostic Agents Based on Polyelectrolyte Microcapsules Encoded with Semiconductor Nanocrystals: Development and Functional Characterization. NANOSCALE RESEARCH LETTERS 2018; 13:30. [PMID: 29372483 PMCID: PMC5785454 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-018-2447-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2017] [Accepted: 01/17/2018] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Fabrication of polyelectrolyte microcapsules and their use as carriers of drugs, fluorescent labels, and metal nanoparticles is a promising approach to designing theranostic agents. Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are characterized by extremely high brightness and photostability that make them attractive fluorescent labels for visualization of intracellular penetration and delivery of such microcapsules. Here, we describe an approach to design, fabricate, and characterize physico-chemical and functional properties of polyelectrolyte microcapsules encoded with water-solubilized and stabilized with three-functional polyethylene glycol derivatives core/shell QDs. Developed microcapsules were characterized by dynamic light scattering, electrophoretic mobility, scanning electronic microscopy, and fluorescence and confocal microscopy approaches, providing exact data on their size distribution, surface charge, morphological, and optical characteristics. The fluorescence lifetimes of the QD-encoded microcapsules were also measured, and their dependence on time after preparation of the microcapsules was evaluated. The optimal content of QDs used for encoding procedure providing the optimal fluorescence properties of the encoded microcapsules was determined. Finally, the intracellular microcapsule uptake by murine macrophages was demonstrated, thus confirming the possibility of efficient use of developed system for live cell imaging and visualization of microcapsule transportation and delivery within the living cells.

Abstract
The Co-precipitation Crosslinking Dissolution technique (CCD-technique) allows a few-steps fabrication of particles composed of different biopolymers and bioactive agents under mild conditions. Morphology and properties of the fabricated biopolymer particles depend on the fabrication conditions, the nature of the biopolymers and additives, but also on the choice of the inorganic templates for co-precipitation. Here, we investigate the influence of an acidic biopolymer, hyaluronic acid (HA), on the formation of particles from bovine hemoglobin and bovine serum albumin applying co-precipitation with CaCO3 and MnCO3. CaCO3 templated biopolymer particles are almost spherical with particle size from 2 to 20 µm and protein entrapment efficiency from 13 to 77%. Presence of HA causes significant structural changes of the particles and decreasing protein entrapment efficiency. In contrast, MnCO3 templated particles exhibit uniform peanut shape and submicron size with remarkably high protein entrapment efficiency of nearly 100%. Addition of HA has no influence on the protein entrapment efficiency or on morphology and size of the particles. These effects can be attributed to the strong interaction of Mn2+ with proteins and much weaker interaction with HA. Therefore, entrapment efficiency, size and structure of biopolymer particles can be optimized by varying the mineral templates and additives.

Abstract
Particles adsorb proteins when they enter a physiological environment; this results in a surface coating termed a "protein corona". A protein corona can affect both the properties and functionalities of engineered particles. Here, we prepared hyaluronic acid (HA)-based capsules through the assembly of metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) and engineered their targeting ability in the absence and presence of protein coronas by varying the HA molecular weight. The targeting ability of the capsules was HA molecular weight dependent, and a high HA molecular weight (>50 kDa) was required for efficient targeting. The specific interactions between high molecular weight HA capsules and receptor-expressing cancer cells were negligibly affected by the presence of protein coronas, whereas nonspecific capsule-cell interactions were significantly reduced in the presence of a protein corona derived from human serum. Consequently, the targeting specificity of HA-based MPN capsules was enhanced due to the formation of a protein corona. This study highlights the significant and complex roles of a protein corona in biointeractions and demonstrates how protein coronas can be used to improve the targeting specificity of engineered particles.

Abstract
A new method of fabrication of calcium carbonate microparticles of ellipsoidal, rhomboidal, and spherical geometries is reported by adjusting the relative concentration ratios of the initial salt solutions and/or the ethylene glycol content in the reaction medium. Morphology, porosity, crystallinity, and loading capacity of synthesized CaCO3 templates were characterized in detail. Particles harboring dextran or the enzyme guanylate kinase were obtained through encapsulation of these macromolecules using the layer-by-layer assembly technique to deposit positively and negatively charged polymers on these differently shaped CaCO3 templates and were characterized by confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy, fluorometric techniques, and enzyme activity measurements. The enzymatic activity, an important application of such porous particles and containers, has been analyzed in comparison with the loading capacity and geometry. Our results reveal that the particles' shape influences morphology of particles and that, as a result, affects the activity of the encapsulated enzymes, in addition to the earlier reported influence on cellular uptake. These particles are promising candidates for efficient drug delivery due to their relatively high loading capacity, biocompatibility, and easy fabrication and handling.

Abstract
This work demonstrates the synthesis of new chlorhexidine polymorphs with controlled morphology and symmetry, which were used as a template for layer-by-layer (LbL) encapsulation. LbL self-assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes onto the drug surface was used in the current work, as an efficient method to produce a carrier with high drug content, improved drug solubility and sustained release. Coprecipitation of the chlorhexidine polymorphs was performed using chlorhexidine diacetate and calcium chloride solutions. Porous interconnected chlorhexidine spheres were produced by tuning the concentration of calcium chloride. The size of these drug colloids could be further controlled from 5.6 μm to over 20 μm (diameter) by adjusting the coprecipitation temperature. The chlorhexidine content in the spheres was determined to be as high as 90%. These particles were further stabilized by depositing 3.5 bilayers of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) on the surface. In vitro release kinetics of chlorhexidine capsules showed that the multilayer shells could prolong the release, which was further demonstrated by characterizing the remaining chlorhexidine capsules with SEM and confocal microscopy. The new chlorhexidine polymorph and LbL coating has created novel chlorhexidine formulations. Further modification to the chlorhexidine polymorph structure is possible to achieve both sustained and stimuli responsive release, which will enhance its clinical performance in medicine and dentistry.

Abstract
Particles capable of homing and adhering to specific vascular biomarkers have potential as fundamental tools in drug delivery for mediation of a wide variety of pathologies, including inflammation, thrombosis, and pulmonary disorders. The presentation of affinity ligands on the surface of a particle provides a means of targeting the particle to sites of therapeutic interest, but a host of other factors come into play in determining the targeting capacity of the particle. This review presents a summary of several key considerations in nano- and microparticle design that modulate targeted delivery without directly altering epitope-specific affinity. Namely, we describe the effect of factors in definition of the base carrier (including shape, size, and flexibility) on the capacity of carriers to access, adhere to, and integrate in target biological milieus. Furthermore, we present a summary of fundamental dynamics of carrier behavior in circulation, taking into account interactions with cells in circulation and the role of hemodynamics in mediating the direction of carriers to target sites. Finally, we note non-affinity aspects to uptake and intracellular trafficking of carriers in target cells. In total, recent findings presented here may offer an opportunity to capitalize on mitigating factors in the behavior of ligand-targeted carriers in order to optimize targeting.

The influence of the size and aspect ratio of anisotropic, porous CaCO3 particles on their uptake by cells. J Nanobiotechnology 2015; 13:53. [PMID: 26337452 PMCID: PMC4558630 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-015-0111-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 97] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2015] [Accepted: 07/28/2015] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent reports highlighting the role of particle geometry have suggested that anisotropy can affect the rate and the pathway of particle uptake by cells. Therefore, we investigate the internalization by cells of porous calcium carbonate particles with different shapes and anisotropies. RESULTS We report here on a new method of the synthesis of polyelectrolyte coated calcium carbonate particles whose geometry was controlled by varying the mixing speed and time, pH value of the reaction solution, and ratio of the interacting salts used for particle formation. Uptake of spherical, cuboidal, ellipsoidal (with two different sizes) polyelectrolyte coated calcium carbonate particles was studied in cervical carcinoma cells. Quantitative data were obtained from the analysis of confocal laser scanning microscopy images. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that the number of internalized calcium carbonate particles depends on the aspect ratio of the particle, whereby elongated particles (higher aspect ratio) are internalized with a higher frequency than more spherical particles (lower aspect ratio). The total volume of internalized particles scales with the volume of the individual particles, in case equal amount of particles were added per cell.

Abstract
We report a simple approach to fabricate custom-shape microcapsules using hydrogel templates synthesized by stop flow lithography. Cargo-containing microcapsules were made by coating hydrogel particles with a single layer of poly-l-lysine followed by a one-step core degradation and capsule cross-linking procedure. We determined appropriate coating conditions by investigating the effect of pH, ionic strength, and prepolymer composition on the diffusion of polyelectrolytes into the oppositely charged hydrogel template. We also characterized the degradation of the templating core by tracking the diffusivity of nanoparticles embedded within the hydrogel. Unlike any other technique, this approach allows for easy fabrication of microcapsules with internal features (e.g., toroids) and selective surface modification of Janus particles using any polyelectrolyte. These soft, flexible capsules may be useful for therapeutic applications as well as fundamental studies of membrane mechanics.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte capsules (PECs) are a promising delivery system that has the ability to carry a large payload of a variety of cargoes. Controlling PEC properties is critical to understanding and tuning their cellular uptake efficiency, kinetics, and mechanism as well as their biodistribution in the body. The lack of a method to independently engineer PEC size, shape, and chemistry impedes both basic understanding of how physicochemical parameters affect PEC behavior in drug delivery and other applications, and the ability to optimize parameters for best function. Here, we report the successful fabrication of PECs having constant surface chemistry with independently controlled size and shape by combining soft organic templates created by the particle stretching method and a modified layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition process. Changing the template dispersion solution during LBL deposition from water to ethanol allowed us to overcome previous issues with organic templates, such as aggregation and template removal. These results will contribute not only to the basic study of the role of capsule shape and size on its function but also to the optimization of capsule properties for drug or imaging carriers, sensors, reactors, and other applications.

Abstract
There is ample evidence that biodegradable polyelectrolyte nanocapsules are multifunctional vehicles which can smuggle drugs into cells, and release them upon endogenous activation. A large number of endogenous stimuli have already been tested in vitro, and in vivo research is escalating. Thus, the interest in the design of intelligent polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) drug delivery systems is clear. The need of the hour is a systematic translation of PEM-based drug delivery systems from the lab to clinical studies. Reviews on multifarious stimuli that can trigger the release of drugs from such systems already exist. This review summarizes the available literature, with emphasis on the recent progress in PEM-based drug delivery systems that are receptive in the presence of endogenous stimuli, including enzymes, glucose, glutathione, pH, and temperature, and addresses different active and passive drug targeting strategies. Insights into the current knowledge on the diversified endogenous approaches and methodological challenges may bring inspiration to resolve issues that currently bottleneck the successful implementation of polyelectrolytes into the catalog of third-generation drug delivery systems.
