Abstract
Galectins, a class of carbohydrate-binding proteins, play a crucial role in various physiological and disease processes. Therefore, the identification of ligands that efficiently bind these proteins could potentially lead to the development of new therapeutic compounds. In this study, we present a method that involves screening synthetic click glycopeptide libraries to identify lectin-binding ligands with low micromolar affinity. Our methodology, initially optimized using Concanavalin A, was subsequently applied to identify binders for the therapeutically relevant galectin 1. Binding affinities were assessed using various methods and showed that the selected glycopeptides exhibited enhanced binding potency to the target lectins compared to the starting sugar moieties. This approach offers an alternative means of discovering galectin-binding ligands as well as other carbohydrate-binding proteins, which are considered important therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a crucial gaseous signaling molecules in regulating cardiovascular, immune, and nervous systems. Controlled and targeted NO delivery is imperative for treating cancer, inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases. Despite various enzyme-prodrug therapy (EPT) systems facilitating controlled NO release, their clinical utility is hindered by nonspecific NO release and undesired metabolic consequence. In this study, a novel EPT system is presented utilizing a cellobioside-diazeniumdiolate (Cel2-NO) prodrug, activated by an endocellulase (Cel5A-h38) derived from the rumen uncultured bacterium of Hu sheep. This system demonstrates nearly complete orthogonality, wherein Cel2-NO prodrug maintains excellent stability under endogenous enzymes. Importantly, Cel5A-h38 efficiently processes the prodrug without recognizing endogenous glycosides. The targeted drug release capability of the system is vividly illustrated through an in vivo near-infrared imaging assay. The precise NO release by this EPT system exhibits significant therapeutic potential in a mouse hindlimb ischemia model, showcasing reductions in ischemic damage, ambulatory impairment, and modulation of inflammatory responses. Concurrently, the system enhances tissue repair and promotes function recovery efficacy. The novel EPT system holds broad applicability for the controlled and targeted delivery of essential drug molecules, providing a potent tool for treating cardiovascular diseases, tumors, and inflammation-related disorders.

Abstract
Stabilization against the dilution-dependent disassembly of self-assembled nanoparticles is a requirement for in vivo application. Herein, we propose a simple and biocompatible cross-linking reaction for the stabilization of a series of nanoparticles formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic HA-b-ELP block copolymers, through the alkylation of methionine residues from the ELP block with diglycidyl ether compounds. The core-cross-linked nanoparticles retain their colloidal properties, with a spherical core-shell morphology, while maintaining thermoresponsive behavior. As such, instead of a reversible disassembly when non-cross-linked, a reversible swelling of nanoparticles' core and increase of hydrodynamic diameter are observed with lowering of the temperature.

Abstract
Polymeric micelles and especially those based on natural diblocks are of particular interest due to their advantageous properties in terms of molecular recognition, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. We herein report a facile and straightforward synthesis of thermoresponsive elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) and oligonucleotide (ON) diblock bioconjugates, ON-b-ELP, through copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The resulting thermosensitive diblock copolymer self-assembles above its critical micelle temperature (CMT ∼30 °C) to form colloidally stable micelles of ∼50 nm diameter. The ON-b-ELP micelles hybridize with an ON complementary strand and maintain their size and stability. Next, we describe the capacity of these micelles to bind proteins, creating more complex structures using the classic biotin-streptavidin pairing and the specific recognition between a transcription factor protein and the ON strand. In both instances, the micelles are intact, form larger structures, and retain their sensitivity to temperature.

Abstract
Human lectins are involved in a wide variety of biological processes, both physiological and pathological, which have attracted the interest of the scientific community working in the glycoscience field. Multivalent glycosystems have been employed as useful tools to understand carbohydrate-lectin binding processes as well as for biomedical applications. The review shows the different scaffolds designed for a multivalent presentation of sugars and their corresponding binding studies to lectins and in some cases, their biological activities. We summarise this research by organizing based on lectin types to highlight the progression in this active field. The paper provides an overall picture of how these contributions have furnished relevant information on this topic to help in understanding and participate in these carbohydrate-lectin interactions.

Abstract
Antibodies have shown potential to deplete immunosuppressive factors in tumor tissues. However, intrinsic drawbacks, including time-consuming processes in preparation, high cost, and short half-life time, greatly restrict their applications. In this work, we report an antibody-like polymeric nanoparticle (APN) that is capable of specifically capturing and removing galectin-1 in tumor tissues, thereby enhancing the antitumor T-cell responses. The APN is composed of an albumin-polymer hybrid nanoparticle (core) and an acid-responsive PEG shell. The core of the APN contains multiple recognition units and Tuftsin peptides to capture target factors and activate macrophage-mediated phagocytosis, respectively. By employing galactose as recognition units, the APN facilitated the phagocytosis of galectin-1 in tumor tissues, thereby improving the antitumor responses of tumor-infiltrating T cells. Since the recognition units in the APN can be further replaced to capture and remove other peptides/proteins, the APN provides a feasible approach for the development of synthetic nanoformulations to regulate biological systems and treat diseases.

Abstract
Carbohydrates play essential structural and biochemical roles in all living organisms. Glycopolymers are attractive as well-defined biomimetic analogs to study carbohydrate-dependent processes, and are widely applicable biocompatible materials in their own right. Glycopolypeptides have shown great promise in this area since they are closer structural mimics of natural glycoproteins than other synthetic glycopolymers and can serve as carriers for biologically active carbohydrates. This review highlights advances in the area of design and synthesis of such materials, and their biomedical applications in therapeutic delivery, tissue engineering, and beyond.

Abstract
Within this work, a new class of sequence-defined heteromultivalent glycomacromolecules bearing lactose residues and nonglycosidic motifs for probing glycoconjugate recognition in carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) of galectin-3 is presented. Galectins, a family of β-galactoside-binding proteins, are known to play crucial roles in different signaling pathways involved in tumor biology. Thus, research has focused on the design and synthesis of galectin-targeting ligands for use as diagnostic markers or potential therapeutics. Heteromultivalent precision glycomacromolecules have the potential to serve as ligands for galectins. In this work, multivalency and the introduction of nonglycosidic motifs bearing either neutral, amine, or sulfonated/sulfated groups are used to better understand binding in the galectin-3 CRD. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and surface plasmon resonance studies are performed, revealing a positive impact of the sulfonated/sulfated nonglycosidic motifs on galectin-3 binding but not on galectin-1 binding. Selected compounds are then tested with galectin-3 positive MCF 7 breast cancer cells using an in vitro would scratch assay. Preliminary results demonstrate a differential biological effect on MCF 7 cells with high galectin-3 expression in comparison to an HEK 293 control with low galectin-3 expression, indicating the potential for sulfonated/sulfated heteromultivalent glycomacromolecules to serve as preferential ligands for galectin-3 targeting.

Abstract
Nucleobase-containing polymers are an emerging class of building blocks for the self-assembly of nanoobjects with promising applications in nanomedicine and biology. Here we present a macromolecular engineering approach to design nucleobase-containing polypeptide polymers incorporating thymine that further self-assemble in nanomaterials. Diblock and triblock copolypeptide polymers were prepared using sequential ring-opening polymerization of γ-Benzyl-l-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (BLG-NCA) and γ-Propargyl-l-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (PLG-NCA), followed by an efficient copper(I)-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) functionalization with thymidine monophosphate. Resulting amphiphilic copolymers were able to spontaneously form nanoobjects in aqueous solutions avoiding a pre-solubilization step with an organic solvent. Upon self-assembly, light scattering measurements and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the impact of the architecture (diblock versus triblock) on the morphology of the resulted nanoassemblies. Interestingly, the nucleobase-containing nanoobjects displayed free thymine units in the shell that were found available for further DNA-binding.

Abstract
Glycans are key players in many biological processes. They are essential for protein folding and stability and act as recognition elements in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Thus, being at the heart of medically relevant biological processes, glycans have come onto the scene and are considered hot spots for biomedical intervention. The progress in biophysical techniques allowing access to an increasing molecular and structural understanding of these processes has led to the development of effective therapeutics. Indeed, strategies aimed at designing glycomimetics able to block specific lectin-carbohydrate interactions, carbohydrate-based vaccines mimicking self- and non-self-antigens as well as the exploitation of the therapeutic potential of glycosylated antibodies are being pursued. In this mini-review the most prominent contributions concerning recurrent diseases are highlighted, including bacterial and viral infections, cancer or immune-related pathologies, which certainly show the great promise of carbohydrates in drug discovery.

Abstract
Cellular communication events are mediated by interactions between cell-surface sugars and lectins, which are carbohydrate-binding proteins. Galectins are β-galactosyl-binding lectins that bridge molecules by their sugar moieties, forming a signaling and adhesion network. Severe changes in glycosylation and galectin expression accompany major processes in oncogenesis, cardiovascular disorders, and other pathologies, making galectins attractive therapeutic targets. Here we discuss advanced strategies of chemo-enzymatic carbohydrate synthesis for creating lead glycomimetics and (neo-)glycoconjugates for galectin-1 and -3 targeting in biomedicine and biotechnology. We will describe the challenges and bottlenecks on the route into biomedical and biotechnological practice and present the first clinical candidates. The coming era will see an exciting translation of selective well-defined high-affinity galectin ligands from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Polysaccharides represent a versatile class of building blocks that are used in macromolecular design. By choosing the appropriate saccharide block, various physico-chemical and biological properties can be introduced both at the level of the polymer chains and the resulting self-assembled nanostructures. Here, we synthetized amphiphilic diblock copolymers combining a hydrophobic and helical poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) PBLG and two polysaccharides, namely hyaluronic acid (HA) and laminarin (LAM). The copolymers could self-assemble to form particles in water by nanoprecipitation. In addition, hybrid particles containing both HA and LAM in different ratios were obtained by co-nanoprecipitation of the two copolymers. By controlling the self-assembly process, five particle samples with different morphologies and compositions were developed. The interaction between the particles and biologically relevant proteins for HA and LAM, namely CD44 and Dectin-1 respectively, was evaluated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). We demonstrated that the particle-protein interaction could be modulated by the particle structure and composition. It is therefore suggested that this method based on nanoprecipitation is a practical and versatile way to obtain particles with controllable interactions with proteins, hence with the appropriate biological properties for biomedical applications such as drug delivery.

Abstract
Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) is an extremely potent peptide drug that is currently used in the form of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) for treating different cancers. ADCs are, however, associated with low drug conjugation, immunogenicity, small scale production, and high costs. Here, cRGD-functionalized polylipopeptide micelles (cRGD-Lipep-Ms) were explored for enhanced loading and targeted delivery of MMAE to HCT-116 colorectal tumor xenografts. Interestingly, cRGD-Lipep-Ms achieved an MMAE loading content of 5.5 wt %, which was 55-fold higher than that of poly(ethylene glycol)- b-poly(d,l-lactide) micelles. MMAE-loaded cRGD-Lipep-Ms (MMAE-cRGD-Lipep-Ms) showed a small hydrodynamic size of 59 nm, minimal drug leakage in 10% FBS, and efficient uptake and superb antiproliferative activity in αvβ5-overexpressing HCT-116 tumor cells. Remarkably, MMAE-cRGD-Lipep-Ms displayed over 10-fold better toleration than free MMAE in mice and completely suppressed growth of HCT-116 colorectal tumor xenografts. These polylipopeptide micelles have appeared to be an attractive alternative to ADCs for targeted delivery of potent peptide drugs.

Abstract
Polypeptide micelles, though having been proved to be an appealing nanoplatform for cancer chemotherapy, are met with issues like inefficient drug encapsulation, gradual drug release, and low tumor cell selectivity and uptake. Here, we report on cRGD-decorated, small-sized, robust, and reduction-responsive polytyrosine micelles (cRGD-rPTM) based on poly(ethylene glycol)- b-poly(l-tyrosine)-lipoic acid (PEG- b-PTyr-LA) conjugate for high loading and targeted delivery of doxorubicin (Dox). Notably, cRGD-rPTM exhibited efficient loading of Dox, giving cRGD-rPTM-Dox with a drug loading content (DLC) of 18.5 wt % and a small size of 45 nm at a theoretical DLC of 20 wt %. cRGD-rPTM-Dox displayed reduction-triggered drug release, high selectivity and superior antiproliferative activity toward αvβ3 integrin positive MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (IC50 = 1.5 μg/mL) to both nontargeted rPTM-Dox and clinical liposomal formulation (LP-Dox). cRGD-rPTM-Dox demonstrated a prolonged circulation time compared with the noncrosslinked cRGD-PTM-Dox control and significantly better accumulation in MDA-MB-231 breast tumor xenografts than nontargeted rPTM-Dox. Moreover, cRGD-rPTM-Dox at 6 mg Dox equiv/kg could remarkably suppress growth of MDA-MB-231 human breast tumor without inducing obvious side effects, outperforming both rPTM-Dox and LP-Dox. These reduction-responsive multifunctional polytyrosine micelles appear to be a viable and versatile nanoplatform for targeted chemotherapy.

Abstract
Polymerization of N-carboxy anhydrides (NCAs) is the primary process used to prepare polypeptides. The synthesis of various pure NCAs is key to the efficient synthesis of polypeptides. The only practical method that can be used to synthesize NCAs requires harsh acidic conditions that make acid-labile substrates unusable and results in an undesired ring opening of NCAs. Basic-to-acidic flash switching and subsequent flash dilution technology in a microflow reactor was used to demonstrate the synthesis of NCAs. It is both rapid (0.1 s) and mild (20 °C) and includes substrates containing acid-labile functional groups. The basic-to-acidic flash switching enabled both an acceleration of the desired NCA formation and avoided the undesired ring opening of NCAs. The flash dilution precluded the undesired decomposition of acid-labile functional groups. The developed process allowed the synthesis of various NCAs which cannot be readily synthesized using conventional batch methods.

A polypeptide based podophyllotoxin conjugate for the treatment of multi drug resistant breast cancer with enhanced efficiency and minimal toxicity. Acta Biomater 2018; 73:388-399.

Abstract
Podophyllotoxin (PPT) is a chemotherapeutic agent which has shown significant activity against P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated multi drug resistant cancer cells. However, because of the poor aqueous solubility and high toxicity, PPT cannot be used in clinical cancer therapy. In order to enhance the efficiency and reduce side effect of PPT, a polypeptide based PPT conjugate PLG-g-mPEG-PPT was developed and used for the treatment of multi drug resistant breast cancer. The PLG-g-mPEG-PPT was prepared by conjugating PPT to poly(l-glutamic acid)-g-methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (PLG-g-mPEG) via ester bonds. The PPT conjugates self-assembled into nanoparticles with average sizes about 100 nm in aqueous solution. Western blotting assay showed that the PLG-g-mPEG-PPT could effectively inhibit the expression of P-gp in the multiple drug resistant MCF-7/ADR cells. In vitro cytotoxicity assay indicated that the resistance index (RI) values of PLG-g-mPEG-PPT on different drug-resistant cancer cell lines exhibited 57-270 folds reduction than of traditional microtubule inhibitor chemotherapeutic drug PTX or DTX. Hemolysis assay demonstrated that the conjugation greatly decreased the hemolytic activity of free PPT. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of PLG-g-mPEG-PPT increased greatly (13.3 folds) as compared to that of free PPT. In vivo study showed that the PLG-g-mPEG-PPT conjugate remarkably enhanced the antitumor efficacy against MCF-7/ADR xenograft tumors with a tumor suppression rate (TSR) of 82.5%, displayed significantly improved anticancer efficacy as compared to free PPT (TSR = 37.1%) with minimal toxicity when both of the two formulations were used in MTD. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The development of multiple drug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells is the main cause of chemotherapy failure. The over-expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) has been recognized to be the most important cause of MDR in cancer. Podophyllotoxin (PPT) is a chemotherapeutic agent which has shown strong activity against P-gp mediated multidrug resistant cancer cells by simultaneously inhibiting the over-expression of P-gp and the growth of cancer cells. However, PPT can not be used in clinical cancer treatment due to its poor aqueous solubility and high toxicity. Herein, we developed a polypeptide based PPT conjugate PLG-g-mPEG-PPT by conjugating PPT to poly(l-glutamic acid)-g-methoxy poly(ethylene glycol). The PLG-g-mPEG-PPT shows significantly decreased hemolytic activity, greatly improved maximum tolerated dose and remarkably enhanced antitumor efficacy against MCF-7/ADR xenograft tumors as compared to free PPT.

Abstract
Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a member of the β-galactoside-binding lectin family, is a tumor biomarker and involved in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Gal-3 is therefore considered as a promising target for early cancer diagnosis and anticancer therapy. We here present the synthesis of a library of tailored multivalent neo-glycoproteins and evaluate their Gal-3 binding properties. By the combinatorial use of glycosyltransferases and chemo-enzymatic reactions, we first synthesized a set of N-acetyllactosamine (Galβ1,4GlcNAc; LacNAc type 2)-based oligosaccharides featuring five different terminating glycosylation epitopes, respectively. Neo-glycosylation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was accomplished by dialkyl squarate coupling to lysine residues resulting in a library of defined multivalent neo-glycoproteins. Solid-phase binding assays with immobilized neo-glycoproteins revealed distinct affinity and specificity of the multivalent glycan epitopes for Gal-3 binding. In particular, neo-glycoproteins decorated with N',N″-diacetyllactosamine (GalNAcβ1,4GlcNAc; LacdiNAc) epitopes showed high selectivity and were demonstrated to capture Gal-3 from human serum with high affinity. Furthermore, neo-glycoproteins with terminal biotinylated LacNAc glycan motif could be utilized as Gal-3 detection agents in a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay format. We conclude that, in contrast to antibody-based capture steps, the presented neo-glycoproteins are highly useful to detect functionally intact Gal-3 with high selectivity and avidity. We further gain novel insights into the binding affinity of Gal-3 using tailored multivalent neo-glycoproteins, which have the potential for an application in the context of cancer-related biomedical research.

Abstract
Glyconanoparticles that exhibit multivalent binding to lectins are desirable for molecular recognition and therapeutic applications. Herein we explore the use of glycogen nanoparticles as a biosourced glycoscaffold for engineering multivalent glyconanoparticles. Glycogen nanoparticles, a naturally occurring highly branched polymer of glucose, was functionalized with lactose, achieved through copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition chemistry, for targeted interaction with lectins ex situ and on prostate cancer cells. The lactosylated glycogen, which contains terminal β-galactoside moieties, is termed galacto-glycogen (GG), and is found to interact strongly with peanut agglutinin (PNA), a β-galactoside-specific lectin, as observed by optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and quartz crystal microbalance measurements. The GG nanoparticles exhibit multivalent binding to PNA with an affinity constant of 3.4 × 105 M-1, and the GG-PNA complex cannot be displaced by lactose, demonstrating the competitive binding of GG to the lectin. These GG nanoparticles were tested for association with prostate cancer cell membranes in vitro, where the particles exhibited a high affinity for the membrane, as observed from flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. This is inferred to result from specific extracellular galectin-1 targeting. Furthermore, the GG nanoparticles induce aggregation between prostate cancer cells. Our results highlight a strategy for engineering a biosourced polysaccharide with surface moieties that exhibit strong multivalent interactions with lectins, and targeted interaction with prostate cancer cells.
