[PMID: 38782062 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2024.05.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Glycosylated nanoplatforms have emerged as promising tools in the field of cancer theranostics, integrating both therapeutic and diagnostic functionalities. These nanoscale platforms are composed of different materials such as lipids, polymers, carbons, and metals that can be modified with glycosyl moieties to enhance their targeting capabilities towards cancer cells. This review provides an overview of different modification strategies employed to introduce glycosylation onto nanoplatforms, including chemical conjugation, enzymatic methods, and bio-orthogonal reactions. Furthermore, the potential applications of glycosylated nanoplatforms in cancer theranostics are discussed, focusing on their roles in drug delivery, imaging, and combination therapy. The ability of these nanoplatforms to selectively target cancer cells through specific interactions with overexpressed glycan receptors is highlighted, emphasizing their potential for enhancing efficacy and reducing the side effects compared to conventional therapies. In addition, the incorporation of diagnostic components onto the glycosylated nanoplatforms provided the capability of simultaneous imaging and therapy and facilitated the real-time monitoring of treatment response. Finally, challenges and future perspectives in the development and translation of glycosylated nanoplatforms for clinical applications are addressed, including scalability, biocompatibility, and regulatory considerations. Overall, this review underscores the significant progress made in the field of glycosylated nanoplatforms and their potential to revolutionize cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Direct arylation polymerization (DARP) is a novel approach to obtain conjugated polymers (CPs) through the straightforward C-H activation of monomer building blocks. In this work, a convenient DARP method with high efficiency and excellent regioselectivity is developed to synthesize a series of donor-acceptor (D-A)-type CPs composed of electron-acceptor moiety fluorenones (FOs) and various electron-donor moieties. CPs with different band gaps are obtained in good yields and display large Stokes shifts up to 295 nm. Two ionic CPs, PFOP-NEt3(+) and PFOP-COO(-), were prepared in a polar solvent system to improve the water solubility and biocompatibility using the proposed DARP method. Detailed photophysical studies of these two CPs suggest that both solvation and hydrogen bonds play important roles in determining the polymers' spectroscopic properties. Further studies of the cationic polymer PFOP-NEt3(+) in cell imaging demonstrate its potential application in labeling cell membranes and lysosomes given its low cytotoxicity, excellent photostability, and specific subcellular localization.

Abstract
Fluorescent materials play an extremely important role in understanding the microbiological world. New fluorescent materials which have good photophysical properties, low cytotoxicity, and multi-channel fluorescent imaging capability are still urgently needed, even though many kinds of fluorescent materials have already been synthesized. In this work, a new polythiophene derivative (PT-OH-PPR) modified with a porphyrin group in its side chain was designed and fabricated through FeCl3 oxidative polymerization. The obtained PT-OH-PPR has wide absorption and emission spectral range, good water solubility and low cytotoxicity. Importantly it could be enriched in the cytoplasm of A549 cells and be excited by two excitation wavelengths (488 nm and 559 nm), which provides a promising application in dual-channel cell imaging.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers can serve as good photosensitizers in biomedical applications. However, it remains unknown whether they are phototoxic to the supercoiled structure of DNA in improving gene delivery by the photochemical internalization (PCI) strategy, which complicates the application of conjugated polymers in gene delivery. In this work, we introduced a trace amount of cationic poly(phenylene ethynylene)s (cPPEs) into the polymeric shell of branched polyethylenimine (BPEI)/DNA complexes, studied the photosensitization of singlet oxygen by cPPEs, and confirmed that the supercoiled DNA is undamaged by the singlet oxygen generated by the photoexcitation of cPPEs. By taking advantage of the cPPE-mediated PCI effect, we report that the addition of the trace amount of cPPEs to the outer shell of the BPEI/DNA polyplexes could greatly amplify the transfection of gene green fluorescent protein on tumor cells with the efficiency from 14 to 86% without decreasing the cell viabilities, well solving the problem with a poor transfection capability of BPEI under low DNA-loading conditions. Our strategy to employ conjugated polymers as photosensitizing agents in gene delivery systems is simple, safe, efficient, and promising for broad applications in gene delivery areas.
