[PMID: 35742876 PMCID: PMC9223706 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23126432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 06/04/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The biocompatibility of carrier nanomaterials in blood is largely hampered by their activating or inhibiting role on the clotting system, which in many cases prevents safe intravascular application. Here, we characterized an aqueous colloidal ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (EHEC) solution and tested its effect on ex vivo clot formation, platelet aggregation, and activation by thromboelastometry, aggregometry, and flow cytometry. We compared the impact of EHEC solution on platelet aggregation with biocompatible materials used in transfusion medicine (the plasma expanders gelatin polysuccinate and hydroxyethyl starch). We demonstrate that the EHEC solution, in contrast to commercial products exhibiting Newtonian flow behavior, resembles the shear-thinning behavior of human blood. Similar to established nanomaterials that are considered biocompatible when added to blood, the EHEC exposure of resting platelets in platelet-rich plasma does not enhance tissue thromboplastin- or ellagic acid-induced blood clotting, or platelet aggregation or activation, as measured by integrin αIIbβ3 activation and P-selectin exposure. Furthermore, the addition of EHEC solution to adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-stimulated platelet-rich plasma does not affect the platelet aggregation induced by this agonist. Overall, our results suggest that EHEC may be suitable as a biocompatible carrier material in blood circulation and for applications in flow-dependent diagnostics.

Abstract
The interaction of nanoparticles with the biological system has increased with the increasing popularity of nanomedicines. Red blood cells (RBCs) are very sensitive, and abundant cells in the blood. They are highly prone to oxidative damage due to constant interaction with oxygen itself, foreign particles in the blood, and the lack of repair mechanism. The cell membrane of RBCs undergoes lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and heme degradation which results in altered membrane permeability, changes in the morphology, and functioning of RBCs. The nanoparticles induce oxidative stress, hemolysis, morphological changes, membrane deformability, and alterations in hemoglobin structure in RBCs. In this review, the effects of metallic nanoparticles and their modifications on the physiology, and life span of RBCs are discussed. The detailed analysis of the antioxidant enzymes-like activity of metal nanoparticles is expected to highlight the beneficial use of these metal nanoparticles in RBCs against oxidative stress and the development of new biosafe nanodrugs.

Abstract
Red blood cell (RBC)-hitchhiking, in which different nanocarriers (NCs) shuttle on the erythrocyte membrane and disassociate from RBCs to the first organ downstream of the intravenous injection spot, has recently been introduced as a solution to enhance target site uptake. Several experimental studies have already approved that cellular hitchhiking onto the RBC membrane can improve the delivery of a wide range of NCs in mice, pigs, and ex vivo human lungs. In these studies, the impact of NC size, NC surface chemistry, and shear rate on the delivery process and biodistribution has been widely explored. To shed light on the underlying physics in this type of drug delivery system, we present a computational platform in the context of the lattice Boltzmann method, spring connected network, and frictional immersed boundary method. The proposed algorithm simulates nanoparticle (NP) dislodgment from the RBC surface in shear flow and biomimetic microfluidic channels. The numerical simulations are performed for various NP sizes and RBC-NP adhesion strengths. In shear flow, NP detachment increases upon increasing the shear rate. RBC-RBC interaction can also significantly boost shear-induced particle detachment. Larger NPs have a higher propensity to be disconnected from the RBC surface. The results illustrate that changing the interaction between the NPs and RBCs can control the desorption process. All the findings agree with in vivo and in vitro experimental observations. We believe that the proposed setup can be exploited as a predictive tool to estimate optimum parameters in NP-bound RBCs for better targeting procedures in tissue microvasculature.

Abstract
Estimated millions of tons of plastic are dumped annually into oceans. Plastic has been produced only for 70 y, but the exponential rise of mass production leads to its widespread proliferation in all environments. As a consequence of their large abundance globally, microplastics are also found in many living organisms including humans. While the health impact of digested microplastics on living organisms is debatable, we reveal a physical mechanism of mechanical stretching of model cell lipid membranes induced by adsorbed micrometer-sized microplastic particles most commonly found in oceans. Combining experimental and theoretical approaches, we demonstrate that microplastic particles adsorbed on lipid membranes considerably increase membrane tension even at low particle concentrations. Each particle adsorbed at the membrane consumes surface area that is proportional to the contact area between particle and the membrane. Although lipid membranes are liquid and able to accommodate mechanical stress, the relaxation time is much slower than the rate of adsorption; thus, the cumulative effect from arriving microplastic particles to the membrane leads to the global reduction of the membrane area and increase of membrane tension. This, in turn, leads to a strong reduction of membrane lifetime. The effect of mechanical stretching of microplastics on living cells membranes was demonstrated by using the aspiration micropipette technique on red blood cells. The described mechanical stretching mechanism on lipid bilayers may provide better understanding of the impact of microplastic particles in living systems.

Abstract
Non-specific adsorption in immunoassays has always been a major problem that affects the reliability of assay results. Despite the emergence of various methods that can reduce nonspecific adsorption, a universal and effective method to reduce the influence of nonspecific adsorption is still lacking. Hence, we propose here an optical super-resolution imaging based immunoassay strategy, named super-resolution multicolor fluorescence colocalization (SR-MFC), which can generate a low false-positive rate. Taking advantages of the high spatial resolution of single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), SR-MFC can directly visualize the assay results and thus effectively exclude the nonspecific binding sites. In other words, even if nonspecific interactions do happen, SR-MFC ensures that the nonspecific reaction sites are visualized and abandoned, which has never been achieved before. To verify its practicability, exosomes, which are important cancer biomarkers, were used as model targets and detected using SR-MFC. Compared with common immunofluorescence assay, the accuracy and reliability of the detection results are greatly improved. The detection limit of exosomes was 38 particles per μL. More importantly, the SR-MFC method can also be generalized for the detection of other biomarkers (e.g. proteins, DNAs, etc.), which is a significant and promising new strategy for immunoassay based diagnosis.

Abstract
It is commonly accepted that nanoparticles (NPs) can kill bacteria; however, the mechanism of antimicrobial action remains obscure for large NPs that cannot translocate the bacterial cell wall. It is demonstrated that the increase in membrane tension caused by the adsorption of NPs is responsible for mechanical deformation, leading to cell rupture and death. A biophysical model of the NP-membrane interactions is presented which suggests that adsorbed NPs cause membrane stretching and squeezing. This general phenomenon is demonstrated experimentally using both model membranes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, representing Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic quasi-spherical and star-shaped gold (Au)NPs are synthesized to explore the antibacterial mechanism of non-translocating AuNPs. Direct observation of nanoparticle-induced membrane tension and squeezing is demonstrated using a custom-designed microfluidic device, which relieves contraction of the model membrane surface area and eventual lipid bilayer collapse. Quasi-spherical nanoparticles exhibit a greater bactericidal action due to a higher interactive affinity, resulting in greater membrane stretching and rupturing, corroborating the theoretical model. Electron microscopy techniques are used to characterize the NP-bacterial-membrane interactions. This combination of experimental and theoretical results confirm the proposed mechanism of membrane-tension-induced (mechanical) killing of bacterial cells by non-translocating NPs.
