Abstract
Nanosized systems of DOX with antitumor activity on the base of micelle-like particles of amphiphilic thermosensitive copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone (VP) with triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDM), and N-vinylpyrrolidone and methacrylic acid (MAA) with TEGDM were explored. They were investigated in aqueous solutions by electron absorption spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and cyclic voltammetry. Experimental data and quantum-chemical modeling indicated the formation of a hydrogen bond between oxygen-containing groups of monomer units of the copolymers and H-atoms of OH and NH2 groups of DOX; the energies and H-bond lengths in the considered structures were calculated. A simulation of TDDFT spectra of DOX and its complexes with the VP and TEGDM units was carried out. Electrochemical studies in PBS have demonstrated that the oxidation of encapsulated DOX appeared to be easier than that of the free one, and its reduction was somewhat more difficult. The cytotoxicity of VP-TEGDM copolymer compositions containing 1, 5 and 15 wt% DOX was studied in vitro on HeLa cells, and the values of IC50 doses were determined at 24 and 72 h of exposure. The copolymer compositions containing 5 and 15 wt% DOX accumulated actively in cell nuclei and did not cause visual changes in cell morphology.

Abstract
Nucleic acid-based therapies have changed the paradigm of cancer treatment, where conventional treatment modalities still have several limitations in terms of efficacy and severe side effects. However, these biomolecules have a short half-life in vivo, requiring multiple administrations, resulting in severe suffering, discomfort, and poor patient compliance. In the early days of (nano)biotechnology, these problems caused concern in the medical community, but recently it has been recognized that these challenges can be overcome by developing innovative formulations. This review focuses on the use of vinyl polymer-based materials for the protection and delivery of nucleic acids in cancer. First, an overview of the properties of nucleic acids and their versatility as drugs is provided. Then, key information on the achievements to date, the most effective delivery methods, and the evaluation of functionalization approaches (stimulatory strategies) are critically discussed to highlight the importance of vinyl polymers in the new cancer treatment approaches. This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Nucleic Acid-Based Structures.

Abstract
Intracellular delivery is considered an indispensable process for various studies, ranging from medical applications (cell-based therapy) to fundamental (genome-editing) and industrial (biomanufacture) approaches. Conventional macroscale delivery systems critically suffer from such issues as low cell viability, cytotoxicity, and inconsistent material delivery, which have opened up an interest in the development of more efficient intracellular delivery systems. In line with the advances in microfluidics and nanotechnology, intracellular delivery based on micro- and nanoengineered platforms has progressed rapidly and held great promises owing to their unique features. These approaches have been advanced to introduce a smorgasbord of diverse cargoes into various cell types with the maximum efficiency and the highest precision. This review differentiates macro-, micro-, and nanoengineered approaches for intracellular delivery. The macroengineered delivery platforms are first summarized and then each method is categorized based on whether it employs a carrier- or membrane-disruption-mediated mechanism to load cargoes inside the cells. Second, particular emphasis is placed on the micro- and nanoengineered advances in the delivery of biomolecules inside the cells. Furthermore, the applications and challenges of the established and emerging delivery approaches are summarized. The topic is concluded by evaluating the future perspective of intracellular delivery toward the micro- and nanoengineered approaches.

Abstract
Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is a hydrophilic polymer widely employed as a carrier in the pharmaceutical, biomedical, and nutraceutical fields. Up to now, several PVP-based systems have been developed to deliver different active principles, of both natural and synthetic origin. Various formulations and morphologies have been proposed using PVP, including microparticles and nanoparticles, fibers, hydrogels, tablets, and films. Its versatility and peculiar properties make PVP one of the most suitable and promising polymers for the development of new pharmaceutical forms. This review highlights the role of PVP in drug delivery, focusing on the different morphologies proposed for different polymer/active compound formulations. It also provides detailed information on active principles and used technologies, optimized process parameters, advantages, disadvantages, and final applications.

Abstract
Within the field of gene therapy, there is a considerable need for the development of non-viral vectors that are able to compete with the efficiency obtained by viral vectors, while maintaining a good toxicity profile and not inducing an immune response within the body. While there have been many reports of possible polymeric delivery systems, few of these systems have been successful in the clinical setting due to toxicity, systemic instability or gene regulation inefficiency, predominantly due to poor endosomal escape and cytoplasmic release. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of previously published polymeric non-coding RNA and, to a lesser degree, oligo-DNA delivery systems with emphasis on their positive and negative attributes, in order to provide insight in the numerous hurdles that still limit the success of gene therapy.

Abstract
Efficient small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery in the presence of serum is of crucial importance for effective gene therapy. Fluorinated vectors are considered to be attractive candidates for siRNA-mediated gene therapy because of their delivery efficacy in serum-containing media. However, the mechanisms driving the superior gene transfection behavior of fluorinated vectors are still not well-understood, and comprehensive investigations are warranted. Herein, we fabricated a library of perfluorooctanoyl fluoride-fluorinated (PFF-fluorinated) oligoethylenimines (f xOEIs, x is the PFF:OEI feeding ratio), which can readily form nanoassemblies (f xOEI NAs) capable of efficient siRNA delivery in cells cultured in medium both devoid of and supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS). The gene silencing test in serum-containing medium revealed that the f0.7OEI/siRNA NAs achieved a luciferase silencing of ∼88.4% in Luc-HeLa cells cultured in FBS-containing medium, which was almost 2-fold greater than the silencing efficacy of siRNA delivered by the commercially available vector Lipo 2000 (∼48.8%). High levels of apolipoprotein B silencing were also achieved by f0.7OEI/siRNA NAs in vivo. For an assessment of the underlying mechanisms of the efficacy of gene silencing of fluorinated vectors, two alkylated OEIs, aOEI-C8 and aOEI-C12, were fabricated as controls with similar molecular structure and hydrophobicity to that of f0.7OEI, respectively. In vitro investigations showed that the superior gene delivery exhibited by f0.7OEI NAs derived from the potent endosomal disruption capability of fluorinated vectors in the presence of serum, which was essentially attributed to the serum protein adsorption resistance of the f0.7OEI NAs. Therefore, this work provides an innovative approach to siRNA delivery as well as insights into fluorine-associated serum resistance.

Abstract
Viruses have evolved to be outstandingly efficient at gene delivery, but their use as vectors is limited by safety risks. Inspired by the structure of viruses, we constructed a virus-mimicking vector (denoted as TR4@siRNA@Tf NCs) with virus-like architecture and infection properties. Composed of a hydrophilic peptide, an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen, and a lipophilic tail, TR4 imitates the viral capsid and endows the vector with AIE properties as well as efficient siRNA compaction. The outer glycoprotein transferrin (Tf) mimics the viral envelope protein and endows the vector with reduced cytotoxicity as well as enhanced targeting capability. Because of the strong interaction between Tf and transferrin receptors on the cell surface, the Tf coating can accelerate the intracellular release of siRNA into the cytosol. Tf and TR4 are eventually cycled back to the cell membrane. Our results confirmed that the constructed siRNA@TR4@Tf NCs show a high siRNA silencing efficiency of 85% with significantly reduced cytotoxicity. These NCs have comparable transfection ability to natural viruses while avoiding the toxicity issues associated with typical nonviral vectors. Therefore, this proposed virus-like siRNA vector, which integrates the advantages of both viral and nonviral vectors, should find many potential applications in gene therapy.

Abstract
Due to the potential use as transfecting agents of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA), multivalent cationic non-viral vectors have received special attention in the last decade. Much effort has been addressed to synthesize more efficient and biocompatible gene vectors able to transport nucleic acids into the cells without provoking an immune response. Among them, the mostly explored to compact and transfect nucleic acids are: (a) gemini and multivalent cationic lipids, mixed with a helper lipid, by forming lipoplexes; and (b) cationic polymers, polycations, and polyrotaxanes, by forming polyplexes. This review is focused on the progress and recent advances experimented in this area, mainly during the present decade, devoting special attention to the lipoplexes and polyplexes, as follows: (a) to its biophysical characterization (mainly electrostatics, structure, size and morphology) using a wide variety of experimental methods; and (b) to its biological activity (transfection efficacy and cytotoxicity) addressed to confirm the optimum formulations and viability of these complexes as very promising gene vectors of nucleic acids in nanomedicine.
