Abstract
Cholesterol (Chol) fortifies packing and reduces fluidity and permeability of the lipid bilayer in vesicles (liposomes)-mediated drug delivery. However, under the physiological environment, Chol is rapidly extracted from the lipid bilayer by biomembranes, which jeopardizes membrane stability and results in premature leakage for delivered payloads, yielding suboptimal clinic efficacy. Herein, we report a Chol-modified sphingomyelin (SM) lipid bilayer via covalently conjugating Chol to SM (SM-Chol), which retains membrane condensing ability of Chol. Systemic structure activity relationship screening demonstrates that SM-Chol with a disulfide bond and longer linker outperforms other counterparts and conventional phospholipids/Chol mixture systems on blocking Chol transfer and payload leakage, increases maximum tolerated dose of vincristine while reducing systemic toxicities, improves pharmacokinetics and tumor delivery efficiency, and enhances antitumor efficacy in SU-DHL-4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma xenograft model in female mice. Furthermore, SM-Chol improves therapeutic delivery of structurally diversified therapeutic agents (irinotecan, doxorubicin, dexamethasone) or siRNA targeting multi-drug resistant gene (p-glycoprotein) in late-stage metastatic orthotopic KPC-Luc pancreas cancer, 4T1-Luc2 triple negative breast cancer, lung inflammation, and CT26 colorectal cancer animal models in female mice compared to respective FDA-approved nanotherapeutics or lipid compositions. Thus, SM-Chol represents a promising platform for universal and improved drug delivery.

[PMID: 36720448 PMCID: PMC9975075 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
Tumor immunotherapy has revolutionized the field of oncology treatments in recent years. As one of the promising strategies of cancer immunotherapy, tumor immunogenic cell death (ICD) has shown significant potential for tumor therapy. Nanoparticles are widely used for drug delivery due to their versatile characteristics, such as stability, slow blood elimination, and tumor-targeting ability. To increase the specificity of ICD inducers and improve the efficiency of ICD induction, functionally specific nanoparticles, such as liposomes, nanostructured lipid carriers, micelles, nanodiscs, biomembrane-coated nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles have been widely reported as the vehicles to deliver ICD inducers in vivo. In this review, we summarized the strategies of different nanoparticles for ICD-induced cancer immunotherapy, and systematically discussed their advantages and disadvantages as well as provided feasible strategies for solving these problems. We believe that this review will offer some insights into the design of effective nanoparticulate systems for the therapeutic delivery of ICD inducers, thus, promoting the development of ICD-mediated cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Rapid aging tests (70 °C, 50% RH) of solid state DNA dried in the presence of various salt formulations, showed the strong stabilizing effect of calcium phosphate, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride, even at high DNA loadings (>20 wt%). A DNA-based digital information storage system utilizing the stabilizing effect of MgCl2 was tested by storing a DNA file, encoding 115 kB of digital data, and the successful readout of the file by sequencing after accelerated aging.
