NANOMEDICINE : NANOTECHNOLOGY, BIOLOGY, AND MEDICINE 2024; 59:102754. [PMID: 38797223 DOI: 10.1016/j.nano.2024.102754] [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: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Exocytosis is a critical factor for designing efficient nanocarriers and determining cytotoxicity. However, the research on the exocytosis mechanism of nanoparticles, especially the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), has not been reported. In this study, the exocytosis of AuNPs in the KYSE70 cells and the involved molecular pathways of exocytosis are analyzed. It demonstrates that nanoparticles underwent time-dependent release from the cells by exocytosis, and the release of β-hexosaminidase confirms that AuNPs are excreted through lysosomes. Mechanistic studies reveal that lncRNA ESCCAL-1 plays a vital role in controlling the exocytosis of AuNPs through activation of the MAPK pathway, including the phosphorylation of ERK and JNK. The study implies that the ESCCAL-1-mediated pathway plays an important role in the exocytosis of AuNPs in KYSE70 cells. This finding has implications for the role of ESCCAL-1 on the drug resistance of esophagus cancer by controlling lysosome-mediated exocytosis.

Abstract
Kidney disease affects more than 10% of the global population and is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, highlighting a need for new therapeutic options. Engineered nanoparticles for the treatment of kidney diseases (renal nanomedicines) represent one such option, enabling the delivery of targeted therapeutics to specific regions of the kidney. Although they are underdeveloped compared with nanomedicines for diseases such as cancer, findings from preclinical studies suggest that renal nanomedicines may hold promise. However, the physiological principles that govern the in vivo transport and interactions of renal nanomedicines differ from those of cancer nanomedicines, and thus a comprehensive understanding of these principles is needed to design nanomedicines that effectively and specifically target the kidney while ensuring biosafety in their future clinical translation. Herein, we summarize the current understanding of factors that influence the glomerular filtration, tubular uptake, tubular secretion and extrusion of nanoparticles, including size and charge dependency, and the role of specific transporters and processes such as endocytosis. We also describe how the transport and uptake of nanoparticles is altered by kidney disease and discuss strategic approaches by which nanoparticles may be harnessed for the detection and treatment of a variety of kidney diseases.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) have emerged as promising tools for disease diagnosis and therapy due to their unique physicochemical properties. To maximize the effectiveness and design of NMs-based medical applications, it is essential to comprehend the complex mechanisms of cellular uptake, subcellular localization, and cellular retention. This review illuminates the various pathways that NMs take to get from the extracellular environment to certain intracellular compartments by investigating the various mechanisms that underlie their interaction with cells. The cellular uptake of NMs involves complex interactions with cell membranes, encompassing endocytosis, phagocytosis, and other active transport mechanisms. Unique uptake patterns across cell types highlight the necessity for customized NMs designs. After internalization, NMs move through a variety of intracellular routes that affect where they are located subcellularly. Understanding these pathways is pivotal for enhancing the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents and imaging probes. Furthermore, the cellular retention of NMs plays a critical role in sustained therapeutic efficacy and long-term imaging capabilities. Factors influencing cellular retention include nanoparticle size, surface chemistry, and the cellular microenvironment. Strategies for prolonging cellular retention are discussed, including surface modifications and encapsulation techniques. In conclusion, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms governing cellular uptake, subcellular localization, and cellular retention of NMs is essential for advancing their application in disease diagnosis and therapy. This review provides insights into the intricate interplay between NMs and biological systems, offering a foundation for the rational design of next-generation nanomedicines.

Abstract
The preparation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from tetrachloroauric acid in the presence of tetrahydrothiophenocucurbit[n]uril (THTmQ[n]) has been effectively achieved in a microwave reactor. The reaction was performed in the presence of an excess of the tetrahydrothiopheno function in a partial reductant role, while the remainder formed AuNP-THTmQ[n] conjugates after the reduction was completed with formic acid. An affinity for the AuNPs by the THTmQ[n] was observed in the purification of the NPs via centrifugation, removal of the supernatant and resuspension of the conjugate.

Abstract
Both biomedical applications and safety assessments of manufactured nanomaterials require a thorough understanding of the interaction between nanomaterials and cells, including how nanomaterials enter cells, transport within cells, and leave cells. However, compared to the extensively studied uptake and trafficking of nanoparticles (NPs) in cells, less attention has been paid to the exocytosis of NPs. Yet exocytosis is an indispensable process of regulating the content of NPs in cells, which in turn influences, even decides, the toxicity of NPs to cells. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms and influencing factors of the exocytosis of NPs is not only essential for the safety assessment of NPs but also helpful for guiding the design of safe and highly effective NP-based materials for various purposes. Herein, we review the current status and progress of studies on the exocytosis of NPs. Firstly, we introduce experimental procedures and considerations. Then, exocytosis mechanisms/pathways are summarized with a detailed introduction of the main pathways (lysosomal and endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi pathway) and the role of microtubules; the patterns of exocytosis kinetics are presented and discussed. Subsequently, the influencing factors (initial content and location of intracellular NPs, physiochemical properties of NPs, cell type, and extracellular conditions) are fully discussed. Although there are inconsistent results, some rules are obtained, like smaller and charged NPs are more easily excreted. Finally, the challenges and future directions in the field have been discussed.

Abstract
Proximal tubules energetically internalize and metabolize solutes filtered through glomeruli but are constantly challenged by foreign substances during the lifespan. Thus, it is critical to understand how proximal tubules stay healthy. Here we report a previously unrecognized mechanism of mitotically quiescent proximal tubular epithelial cells for eliminating gold nanoparticles that were endocytosed and even partially transformed into large nanoassemblies inside lysosomes/endosomes. By squeezing ~5 µm balloon-like extrusions through dense microvilli, transporting intact gold-containing endocytic vesicles into the extrusions along with mitochondria or other organelles and pinching the extrusions off the membranes into the lumen, proximal tubular epithelial cells re-eliminated >95% of endocytosed gold nanoparticles from the kidneys into the urine within a month. While this organelle-extrusion mechanism represents a new nanoparticle-elimination route, it is not activated by the gold nanoparticles but is an intrinsic 'housekeeping' function of normal proximal tubular epithelial cells, used to remove unwanted cytoplasmic contents and self-renew intracellular organelles without cell division to maintain homoeostasis.

Abstract
Biomedical fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 100-1700 nm) window provides great potential for visualizing physiological and pathological processes, owing to the reduced tissue absorption, scattering, and autofluorescence. Various types of NIR-II probes have been reported in the past decade. Among them, NIR-II organic/inorganic nanohybrids have attracted widespread attention due to their unique properties by integrating the advantages of both organic and inorganic species. Versatile organic/inorganic nanohybrids provide the possibility of realizing a combination of functions, controllable size, and multiple optical features. This tutorial review summarizes the reported organic and inorganic species in nanohybrids, and their biomedical applications in NIR-II fluorescence and lifetime imaging. Finally, the challenges and outlook of organic/inorganic nanohybrids in biomedical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Precise plant genome editing technologies have provided new opportunities to accelerate crop improvement and develop more sustainable agricultural systems. In particular, the prokaryote-derived CRISPR platforms allow precise manipulation of the crop genome, enabling the generation of high-yielding and stress-tolerant crop varieties. Nanotechnology has the potential to catalyze the development of a novel molecular toolbox even further by introducing the possibility of a rapid, universal delivery method to edit the plant genome in a species-independent manner. In this Perspective, we highlight how nanoparticles can help unlock the full potential of CRISPR/Cas technology in targeted manipulation of the plant genome to improve agricultural output. We discuss current challenges hampering progress in nanoparticle-enabled plant gene-editing research and application in the field, and highlight how rational nanoparticle design can overcome them. Finally, we examine the implications of the regulatory frameworks and social acceptance for the future of nano-enabled precision breeding in the developing world.

Abstract
Biological nanomachines, including proteins and nucleic acids whose function is activated by conformational changes, are involved in every biological process, in which their dynamic and responsive behaviors are controlled by supramolecular recognition. The development of artificial nanomachines that mimic the biological functions for potential application as therapeutics is emerging; however, it is still limited to the lower hierarchical level of the molecular components. In this work, we report a synthetic machinery nanostructure in which actuatable molecular components are integrated into a hierarchical nanomaterial in response to external stimuli to regulate biological functions. Two nanometers core-sized gold nanoparticles are covered with ligand layers as actuatable components, whose folding/unfolding motional response to the cellular environment enables the direct penetration of the nanoparticles across the cellular membrane to disrupt intracellular organelles. Furthermore, the pH-responsive conformational movements of the molecular components can induce the apoptosis of cancer cells. This strategy based on the mechanical motion of molecular components on a hierarchical nanocluster would be useful to design biomimetic nanotoxins.

Abstract
A host-guest colorimetric strategy is described for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes). The optical probes were self-assembled based on the supramolecular interactions between the carbonyl groups of cucurbit[7]uril portals and gold nanoparticles (CB[7]-AuNPs). Aptamer and urease modified magnetic nanoparticles were used to specifically recognize and binding to L. monocytogenes, simultaneously hydrolyzing urea to produce ammonium ion (NH4+) that can reverse CB[7] induced AuNPs aggregation. In the presence of L. monocytogenes, the above-mentioned magnetic conjugates preferentially bind to the bacterial surface, which results in blocking the catalytic active sites, thus inhibiting the production of ammonium ions. The normalized absorbance ratio of A700 nm/A525 nm was proportional to the L. monocytogenes concentration ranging from 10 to 106 cfu·mL-1, and the visual determination can be done down to 10 cfu·mL-1. For spiked food samples analyzed without pre-enrichment, recoveries of 98.4% to 99.3% were achieved could be verified and RSD were less than 10%. This work may offer a broad prospect for sensitive and specific determination of pathogens.

[PMID: 34604188 PMCID: PMC8481884 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.730925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Chemotherapy for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is usually associated with many side effects; therefore, its treatment options have not yet been completely resolved. Improving distribution to the targeted tumor region and enhancing the cellular uptake of drugs can efficiently alleviate the above adverse medical effects. Near-infrared (NIR) laser light-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are promising strategies for cancer treatment. In the present study, we developed an efficient multifunctional nanocluster with enhanced targeting and aggregation efficiency for PTT and PDT that is composed of a biocompatible folic acid (FA), indocyanine green (ICG) and 2-cyanobenzothiazole (CBT)-functionalized peptide labeled with an aldehyde sodium alginate-modified magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (ASA-MNP)-based nanocarrier. FA can bind to folate receptors on cancer cell membranes to enhance nanocluster uptake. CBT-modified peptide can react with glutathione (GSH), which is typically present at higher levels in cancer cells, to form intracellular aggregates and increase the local concentration of the nanodrug. In in vitro studies, these nanodrugs displayed the desired uptake capacity by NPC cells and the ability to suppress the growth of cancer cells under laser irradiation. Animal studies validated that these nanodrugs are safe and nontoxic, efficiently accumulate in NPC tumor sites following injection via the caudal vein, and shows superior inhibition of tumor growth in a tumor-bearing mouse model upon near-infrared laser irradiation. The results indicate the potential application of the multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs), which can be used as a new method for the treatment of folate receptor-positive NPC.

Abstract
The precise accumulation and extended retention of nanomedicines in the tumor tissue has been highly desired for cancer therapy. Here a novel supramolecular-peptide derived nanodrug (SPN) that can be transformed to microfibers in response to intracellular polyamine in cancer cells for significantly enhanced tumor specific accumulation and retention is developed. The supramolecular-peptide is constructed via the non-covalent interactions between cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and Phe on Phe-Phe-Val-Leu-Lys-camptothecin conjugates (FFVLK-CPT, PC). The resultant amphiphilic supramolecular complex subsequently self-assembles into nanoparticles with a hydrodynamic diameter of 164.2 ± 3.7 nm. Upon internalization into spermine-overexpressed cancer cells, the CB[7]-Phe host-guest pairs can be competitively dissociated by spermine and can release free PC, which immediately form β-sheet structures and subsequently reorganize into microfibers, leading to dramatically improved accumulation, retention, and sustained release of CPT in tumor cells for highly effective cancer therapy. Accordingly, this SPN exhibit rather low toxicity against non-cancerous cells due to the morphological stability and fast exocytosis of the nanodrugs in those cells without abundant spermine. This study reports the first supramolecular peptide capable of polyamine-responsive "nanoparticle-to-microfiber" transformation for specific tumor therapy with minimal side effects. This work also offers novel insights to the design and development of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials as precision medicine.

Abstract
Aim: To demonstrate that cobalt nanoparticles doses are safe for use in humans and to understand the consequences of the particulate effects, which may persist inside the cells. Materials & methods: Human adipose stem cells were used. We evaluated cell recovery by viability test, morphology and ultrastructure using electronic and optical microscopy, while gene expression was assessed utilizing real-time PCR. Results: After exposure, most stem cells recovered their normal function. Co3O4-nanoparticles remained inside the cell for the entirety of the considered time. A slight modification of gene expression was observed in the exposed cells. Conclusion: After exposure to 100 M cobalt nanoparticles, most cells returned to normal function. Nanoparticle toxicity was due to ions released by dissolution as well as from the nanoparticles themselves.

Abstract
We report the development of novel tumor-targeted conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNPs) carrying iron for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Tumor cell killing proceeds through ferroptosis, a reactive oxygen species (ROS) mechanism that is not dependent on external activation by, for example, light, as is the case in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The ferroptosis mechanism is also not heavily reliant on oxygen availability and is, therefore, promising for the treatment of hypoxic tumors. In this work, we apply this development to the case study of melanoma, a difficult to treat cancer in advanced stages due to resistance to chemotherapy. The iron-carrying CPNPs reported here are targeted to endothelin-B receptors (EDNRB) through endothelin-3 surface moieties (EDN3-CPNPs). Our results show excellent targeting to tumor cells that overexpress EDNRB, specifically for melanoma and bladder tumor cells. In these cases, efficient cell killing, over 80% at higher doses, was found. Conversely, tumor cells not targeted by the EDN3-CPNPs show little effects of CDT, with tumor cell death under 20% in most cases. The outcomes of our work demonstrate that EDN3-CPNPs enable ferroptosis-assisted CDT and present a new therapeutic avenue for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based therapeutics and diagnostics are commonly referred to as nanomedicine and may significantly impact the future of healthcare. However, the clinical translation of these technologies is challenging. One of these challenges is the efficient delivery of nanoparticles to specific cell populations and subcellular targets in the body to elicit desired biological and therapeutic responses. It is critical for researchers to understand the fundamental concepts of how nanoparticles interact with biological systems to predict and control in vivo nanoparticle transport for improved clinical benefit. In this overview article, we review and discuss cellular internalization pathways, summarize the field`s understanding of how nanoparticle physicochemical properties affect cellular interactions, and explore and discuss intracellular nanoparticle trafficking and kinetics. Our overview may provide a valuable resource for researchers and may inspire new studies to expand our current understanding of nanotechnology-biology interactions at cellular and subcellular levels with the goal to improve clinical translation of nanomedicines.

Abstract
The positive outcome of any therapeutic molecule requires control over its delivery rate. When delivered without control, administration of large doses is required to stimulate a therapeutic effect, frequently leading to increased toxicity or undesirable side effects. Recent advances introduced “smart” materials that actively release drugs in response to environmental stimuli. Although a variety of endogenous and exogenous triggers are reported, they are either difficult to control or lack tissue penetration depth. We report here a dynamic drug delivery scaffold based on a cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) host and benzylammonium functionalized gold nanoparticle (AuNP) guest that utilizes a bioorthogonal small molecule to achieve therapeutic control. In addition to their ability to reach deep tissue, small molecule activation is benefitted by their external controllability. Through cell culture studies we demonstrate that the host–guest supramolecular scaffold provides a nontoxic platform that effectively encapsulates a variety of therapeutic molecules and controls the payload release upon exposure to a high-affinity competitive guest molecule. This study presents a new strategy for controlling drug release rate through the use of competitive interactions of orthogonally presented guest molecules with immediate advantages in dosage control.

Abstract
Simple palladium complexes were heterogenized into red algae derived polysaccharide supports, and the effects of polysaccharide, catalyst and solvent types on the performances in a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction were tested. It was found that using palladium salts with sodium triphenylphosphine trisulfonate (TPPTS) as a ligand supported on ι-carrageenans and ethanol as the solvent yielded the best systems. Moreover, the conversion rates of these heterogeneous systems were higher than their homogeneous analogues, and they were easily recycled five times. SEM-EDS analysis of Pd(OAc)2(TPPTS)2 that was immobilized on ι-carrageenan support was also performed, demonstrating that the system has a porous structure composed of Pd complex that was embedded within the ι-carrageenan. In addition, both ι-Pd(OAc)2(TPPTS)2 and ι-Pd(OAc)2 systems, were composed of nanoparticles, as proven by TEM analysis.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are natural biopolymers that have been recognized to be the most promising hosts for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) because of their outstanding biocompatible and biodegradable properties. Polysaccharides are diverse in size and molecular chains, making them suitable for the reduction and stabilization of MNPs. Considerable research has been directed toward investigating polysaccharide-based metallic nanoparticles (PMNPs) through host⁻guest strategy. In this review, approaches of preparation, including top-down and bottom-up approaches, are presented and compared. Different characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray scattering are discussed in detail. Besides, the applications of PMNPs in the field of wound healing, targeted delivery, biosensing, catalysis and agents with antimicrobial, antiviral and anticancer capabilities are specifically highlighted. The controversial toxicological effects of PMNPs are also discussed. This review can provide significant insights into the utilization of polysaccharides as the hosts to synthesize MPNs and facilitate their further development in synthesis approaches, characterization techniques as well as potential applications.

Abstract
We report a nanosensor that uses cell lysates to rapidly profile the tumorigenicity of cancer cells. This sensing platform uses host-guest interactions between cucurbit[7]uril and the cationic headgroup of a gold nanoparticle to non-covalently modify the binding of three fluorescent proteins of a multi-channel sensor in situ. This approach doubles the number of output channels to six, providing single-well identification of cell lysates with 100% accuracy. Significantly, this classification could be extended beyond the training set, determining the invasiveness of novel cell lines. The unique fingerprint of these cell lysates required minimal sample quantity (200 ng, ∼1000 cells), making the methodology compatible with microbiopsy technology.

Abstract
Tattooing has been utilized by the medical community for precisely demarcating anatomic landmarks. This practice is especially important for identifying biopsy sites of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) due to the long interval (i.e., up to 3 months) between the initial diagnostic biopsy and surgical treatment. Commercially available tattoo pigments possess several issues, which include causing poor cosmesis, being mistaken for a melanocytic lesion, requiring additional removal procedures when no longer desired, and potentially inducing inflammatory responses. The ideal tattoo pigment for labeling of skin biopsy sites for NMSC requires (i) invisibility under ambient light, (ii) fluorescence under a selective light source, (iii) a finite intradermal retention time (ca. 3 months), and (iv) biocompatibility. Herein, we introduce cross-linked fluorescent supramolecular nanoparticles (c-FSNPs) as a "finite tattoo" pigment, with optimized photophysical properties and intradermal retention time to achieve successful in vivo finite tattooing. Fluorescent supramolecular nanoparticles encapsulate a fluorescent conjugated polymer, poly[5-methoxy-2-(3-sulfopropoxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MPS-PPV), into a core via a supramolecular synthetic approach. FSNPs which possess fluorescent properties superior to those of the free MPS-PPV are obtained through a combinatorial screening process. Covalent cross-linking of FSNPs results in micrometer-sized c-FSNPs, which exhibit a size-dependent intradermal retention. The 1456 nm sized c-FSNPs display an ideal intradermal retention time (ca. 3 months) for NMSC lesion labeling, as observed in an in vivo tattoo study. In addition, the c-FSNPs induce undetectable inflammatory responses after tattooing. We believe that the c-FSNPs can serve as a "finite tattoo" pigment to label potential malignant NMSC lesions.

Abstract
The near infrared (NIR) absorption and average particle size of gold nanostars (GNSs) can be precisely controlled by varying the molar ratios of cucurbit[7]urils (CB[7]) and GNSs in aqueous solution. GNSs modified with CB[7] achieved high cargo loading with thermally activated release upon the NIR laser irradiation.

Abstract
The design of synthetic, monovalent host-guest molecular recognition pairs is still challenging and of particular interest to inquire into the limits of the affinity that can be achieved with designed systems. In this regard, cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), an important member of the host family cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n], n = 5-8, 10, 14), has attracted much attention because of its ability to form ultra-stable complexes with multiple guests. The strong hydrophobic effect between the host cavity and guests, ion-dipole and dipole-dipole interactions of guests with CB portals helps in cooperative and multiple noncovalent interactions that are essential for realizing such strong complexations. These highly selective, strong yet dynamic interactions can be exploited in many applications including affinity chromatography, biomolecule immobilization, protein isolation, biological catalysis, and sensor technologies. In this review, we summarize the progress in the development of high affinity guests for CB[7], factors affecting the stability of complexes, theoretical insights, and the utility of these high affinity pairs in different challenging applications.
