BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:164. [PMID: 36831929 PMCID: PMC9953623 DOI: 10.3390/bios13020164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Sialic acid (SA) is a well-known component of glycoproteins, which have applications in various functional processes on the cell's surface. The colorimetric is a simpler and more convenient method for measuring SA due to its low-cost apparatus and visual signal changes. This work focused on the unpredictable interparticle crosslinking aggregation of the functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in complex media. We proposed a balance of the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO)-type aggregation and molecule-based interaction method to solve this problem. Here, we report a novel colorimetric assay for the determination of SA using 4-mercaptophenyl boronic acid (4-MPBA) as an analyte's recognition molecule, and negative charge PEG400 was used to repulsive the interparticle crosslinking. The proposed sensing platform shows a linear relationship between the ratio of the absorbance intensity (A525/A660) and concentration of SA from 0.05 to 8 mM (R2 = 0.997) and a detection limit of 48 μM was observed. The novel gold-based colorimetric sensor is easy to fabricate, reproducible in its test performance and has been successfully applied for the detection of SA in biological and healthcare product samples.

Abstract
Sialic acid (SA) is overexpressed on cell membranes of tumor cells, and increased serum SA concentration has been observed in tumor-bearing patients. Herein, a series of lanthanide-containing bimetallic complexes (TDA-M-Lns) for targeting SA were prepared via coordination among luminescent lanthanide ions (Ln3+ = Tb3+, Eu3+, Dy3+, or Sm3+), metal ion quenchers (M2+ = Cu2+ or Co2+), and the organic ligand 2,2'-thiodiacetic acid (TDA). SA can competitively coordinate with Ln3+, resulting in the "signal-on" of the Ln3+. Therefore, the TDA-M-Lns can be simply used for cost-saving detection of SA in the blood samples. Among the TDA-M-Lns, TDA-Co-Eu showed the highest sensitivity to detect SA in the blood of tumor-bearing mice. Furthermore, the TDA-Co-Eu was successfully used to target SA and deposit Eu3+ on the surfaces of tumor cells for the inhibition of tumor cell growth and migration. The therapeutic effect of TDA-Co-Eu on a Balb/c mouse liver tumor model was evaluated. It was proved that TDA-Co-Eu can be applied for SA detection as well as for inhibiting tumor growth.

Abstract
Nature produces materials using available molecular building blocks following a bottom-up approach. These materials are formed with great precision and flexibility in a controlled manner. This approach offers the inspiration for manufacturing new artificial materials and devices. Synthetic artificial materials can find many important applications ranging from personalized therapeutics to solutions for environmental problems. Among these materials, responsive synthetic materials are capable of changing their structure and/or properties in response to external stimuli, and hence are termed "smart" materials. Herein, this review focuses on alginate-based smart materials and their stimuli-responsive preparation, fragmentation, and applications in diverse fields from drug delivery and tissue engineering to water purification and environmental remediation. In the first part of this report, we review stimuli-induced preparation of alginate-based materials. Stimuli-triggered decomposition of alginate materials in a controlled fashion is documented in the second part, followed by the application of smart alginate materials in diverse fields. Because of their biocompatibility, easy accessibility, and simple techniques of material formation, alginates can provide solutions for several present and future problems of humankind. However, new research is needed for novel alginate-based materials with new functionalities and well-defined properties for targeted applications.

Abstract
Gynecological cancers are in the top 10 of most common cancers in women. Survival and outcome are strongly related to the stage at diagnosis. Therefore, early diagnosis is essential in reducing morbidity and mortality. The high mortality rate of gynecological cancers can mainly be attributed to ovarian cancer (OC). OC is commonly diagnosed at an advanced stage due to a lack of proper screening tools allowing early detection. Endometrial cancer (EC) on the contrary, is mostly diagnosed at an early stage and has, in general, better outcomes. The incidence of nonendometrioid EC has increased in the last decade, displaying a shared tumor biology with OC and consequently significantly worse outcome. New approaches allowing detection of gynecological cancers in an early stage are therefore desired. Recent studies on cancer biology have shown the relevance of altered glycosylation in the occurrence and progression of cancer. The aberrant expression of sialic acid, a specific carbohydrate terminating glycoproteins and glycolipids on the cell‐surface, is frequently correlated with malignancy. We aimed to determine the current understanding of sialic acid function in different gynecological cancers to identify the gaps in knowledge and its potential use for new diagnostic and therapeutic avenues. Therefore we performed a review on current literature focusing on studies where sialylation was linked to gynecological cancers. The identified studies showed elevated levels of sialic acid in serum, tissue and sialylated antigens in most patients with gynecological cancers, underlining its potential for diagnosis.
What's new?
Recent studies have shown the relevance of altered glycosylation in the occurrence and progression of cancer. In this review, the authors found elevated levels of sialic acid in serum and tissue and high levels of sialylated antigens in most patients with gynaecological cancers, underlining the potential of sialic acid for diagnosis. Elevated levels of sialylation were related with tumour growth, poor differentiation, inhibition of apoptosis, and chemoresistance. Taken together, the studies suggest that sialylation levels could be used to discriminate healthy and benign samples from cancer samples and even early and advanced stages in ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer.

Abstract
This study reports targetable micelles developed after covalent functionalization of α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) with amino phenylboronic acid (APBA). Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and infrared (IR) spectroscopic results showed successful attachment of APBA to the hydrophilic segment of TPGS. Dynamic light scattering and small-angle neutron scattering studies revealed that the conjugate self-assembled in water to produce spherical core-shell micelles (14–20 nm) which remained stable against temperature (ca. 25–45 °C) and pH changes. The micelles could solubilize a high payload of paclitaxel (PLX) without exhibiting changes in the average size. However, at the saturation solubility, drug molecules migrated from the core to the shell region and engaged with APBA groups via π–π stacking interaction. Confocal microscopy and cell sorting analyses verified the effective translocation ability of TPGS-APBA micelles in sialic acid (SA) expressing MDA-MB-453 cells. At equivalent PLX dose, TPGS-APBA micelles showed about a twofold improvement in apoptotic death among the cells exposed for 2 h. Our findings indicate that the attachment of APBA can be a potential strategy for improving the intra-cellular localization of carriers among cancer cells expressing SA residues.
