Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs), which function as material transporters in organisms, are rich in materials that are exchanged with metabolically active tumor cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that tumor cells can regulate biological changes in RBCs, including influencing differentiation, maturation, and morphology. RBCs play an important role in tumor development and immune regulation. Notably, the novel scientific finding that RBCs absorb fragments of tumor-carrying DNA overturns the conventional wisdom that RBCs do not contain nucleic acids. RBC membranes are excellent biomimetic materials with significant advantages in terms of their biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity, non-specific adsorption resistance, and biodegradability. Therefore, RBCs provide a new research perspective for the development of tumor liquid biopsies, molecular imaging, drug delivery, and other tumor precision diagnosis and treatment technologies.

[PMID: 38286195 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.123865] [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: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024]
Abstract
Clinical treatment for osteosarcoma (OS) is still lacking effective means, and no significant progress in OS treatment have been made in recent years. Single chemotherapy has serious side effects and can produce drug resistance easily, resulting poor therapeutic effect. As a modern and non-invasive treatment form, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is widely used to treat diverse cancers. Chemotherapy in combination with PDT is a particularly efficient antitumor method that could overcome the defects of monotherapies. Since mitochondria is a key subcellular organelle involved in cell apoptosis regulation, targeting tumor cells mitochondria for drug delivery has become an important entry point for anti-tumor therapy. Herein, we rationally designed a core-shell structured biomimetic nanoplatform, i.e., D@SLNP@OSM-IR780, to achieve tumor homologous targeting and mitochondria targeted drug release for chemotherapy combined with PDT against OS. Upon 808 nm laser irradiation, D@SLNP@OSM-IR780 exhibited excellent photo-cytotoxicity in vitro. The excellent targeting effect of D@SLNP@OSM-IR780 in tumor tissues produced a tumor inhibition rate of 98.9% in vivo. We further indicated that synergistic chemo-photodynamic effect induced by D@SLNP@OSM-IR780 could activate mitochondria-mediated apoptosis pathway, along with host immune response and potential photothermal effect. On the whole, D@SLNP@OSM-IR780 is revealed to be a promising platform for OS targeted combination therapeutics.

Efficient detection of single circulating tumor cell in blood using Raman mapping based on Aptamer-SERS bio-probe coupled with micropore membrane filtration. Talanta 2024; 267:125220.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate detection of rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in human blood still remains a challenge. We present a surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method based on aptamer-SERS bio-probe recognition coupled with micropore membrane filtration capture for the detection of CTCs at single cell level. The parylene micropore membrane with optimized micropore size installed on a filtration holder could capture bio-probe labeled CTCs by gravity in less than 10 s, and only with very less white blood cells (WBCs) residual. In order to facilitate the synthesis of the aptamer-SERS bio-probe, ethyl acetate dehydration method was established. The bio-probe can be rapidly synthesized within 2 h by binding SH-aptamer to 4- mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) modified AuNPs with the help of ethyl acetate. The SERS bio-probe with selected specific aptamer could distinguish single human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells from residual WBCs on membrane efficiently and reliably based on their Raman signal intensity difference at 1075 cm-1. Through the filter membrane coupled with aptamer-SERS bio-probe system, even 20 A549 cells in blood solution simulating CTCs sample can be detected, which the recovery rate and recognition rate are more than 90%. This method is rapid, reliable and cost-effective, which indicates a good prospect in clinical application for CTCs detection.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which shed from solid tumor tissue into blood circulatory system, have attracted wide attention as a biomarker in the early diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Given their potential significance in clinics, many platforms have been developed to separate CTCs. However, the high-performance isolation of CTCs remains significant challenges including achieving the sensitivity and specificity necessary due to their extreme rarity and severe biofouling in blood, such as billions of background cells and various proteins. With the advancement of CTCs detection technologies in recent years, the highly efficient and highly specific detection platforms for CTCs have gradually been developed, resulting in improving CTC capture efficiency, purity and sensitivity. In this review, we systematically describe the current strategies with surface modifications by utilizing the antifouling property of polymer, peptide, protein and cell membrane for high-performance enrichment of CTCs. To wrap up, we discuss the substantial challenges facing by current technologies and the potential directions for future research and development.

Abstract
The detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood is a novel and accurate technique for the early diagnosis of cancers. However, this method is challenging because of the need for high collection efficiency due to the ultralow content and similar size of CTCs compared with other blood cells. To address the aforementioned issue, we proposed a homoporous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane and its microfilter device to perform the ultrafast isolation and identification of CTCs directly from peripheral blood without any labeling treatment. The membrane pores can be homogenously controlled at a size of 6.3 μm through the cross-linking time of PDMS during a filtration-coating strategy. Within only 10 s, the designed device achieved a retention rate greater than 70% for pancreatic cancer cells, and it exhibited excellent cell compatibility to support cell proliferation. The isolated CTCs on this membrane can be easily observed and identified using a fluorescence microscope.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are established as distinct cancer biomarkers for diagnosis, as preclinical models, and therapeutic targets. Their use as preclinical models is limited owing to low purity after isolation and the lack of effective techniques to create 3D cultures that accurately mimic in vivo conditions. Herein, a two-component system for detecting, isolating, and expanding CTCs to generate multicellular tumor spheroids that mimic the physiology and microenvironment of the diseased organ is proposed. First, an antifouling biointerface on magnetic beads is fabricated by adding a bioinert polymer layer and conjugation of biospecific ligands to isolate cancer cells, dramatically enhancing the selectivity and purity of the isolated cancer cells. Next, the isolated cells are encapsulated into self-degradable hydrogels synthesized using a thiol-click approach. The hydrogels are mechanochemically tuned to enable tumor spheroid growth to a size greater than 300 µm and to further release the grown spheroids while retaining their tumor-like characteristics. In addition, drug treatment highlights the need for 3D culture environments rather than conventional 2D culture. The designed biomedical matrix shows potential as a universal method to ensure mimicry of in vivo tumor characteristics in individual patients and to improve the predictability of preclinical screening of personalized therapeutics.

Abstract
The key factor that causes glioma invasion and metastasis is circulating tumor cells (CTCs) undergoing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Effective analysis of EMT-CTCs can provide an important foundation for early detection and prognosis monitoring of glioma, but the changes in the biomarkers of CTCs in different states of EMT make detection difficult. In this study, we developed a multivalent aptamer nanoscaffold-based electrochemical cytosensor (MAS-cytosensor) to efficiently detect EMT-CTCs. The two chains forming the MAS are composed of a specific aptamer detector, a binding region for DNA self-assembly, and a foothold for interface anchoring. When target CTCs exist, the bisaptamer detector on MAS can sensitively identify CTCs and pull them to the electrode surface, generating electrochemical signals. It has been demonstrated that the MAS-cytosensor can not only detect EMT-CTCs sensitively (detection limit of 6 cells/mL in buffer), but also allows for further downstream analysis after release with high viability. Overall, this cytosensor provides a reliable detection solution for CTCs regardless of their EMT status, and provides an efficient method for in-depth study role of the post-EMT CTCs in clinical application and metastasis mechanisms.

Abstract
Detecting and analyzing circulating tumor cells(CTCs) is significant for early diagnosis, management, and personalized treatment of tumors. Herein, a smart magnetic aptamer modified Fe3O4@ZIF-8 core/shell structured nanoparticle (NPs) was successfully constructed using for capture and simultaneous pH- and NIR-irradiation responsive release of CTCs. Taking MCF-7 as model CTCs, it could be captured ca. 60 % in low-concentration artificial blood by aptamer (SYL3C) on the surface of Fe3O4@ZIF-8 NPs. After magnetic separation, the ZIF-8 shell in aptamer-modified Fe3O4@ZIF-8 NPs carrying captured CTCs would disintegrate within 20 min under the synergistic effect of an acidic environment (pH=6.0) and NIR irradiation leading to the release of CTCs with high cell viability, which was benefited for the subsequent culture and analysis. This magnetic and core/shell structured device integrated high-efficiency capture, quick isolation and perfect release into one system, which showed great potentials for the detection of CTCs in the clinic.

Abstract
A single epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) for circulating tumor cell (CTCs) isolation has been proved to be low in efficiency as it fails to recognize EpCAM-negative CTCs. Meanwhile, the current immunocytochemical (ICC) identification strategy for the captured cells is tedious and time-consuming. To address these issues, we designed a dual-labeled fluorescent immunomagnetic nanoprobe (BP-Fe3O4-AuNR/Apt), by loading magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles and gold nanorods (AuNRs) onto black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets and then linking them with Cy3-labeled EpCAM and Texas red-labeled tyrosine protein kinase 7 (PTK7) aptamers, which created a high-performance bio-interface for efficient, heterogeneous CTC capture and rapid self-identification with high accuracy. As few as 5 CTCs could be captured from 1.0 mL PBS, mixed cell solution and lysed blood. What's more, the presence of BP and AuNRs on this capturing interface also allowed us to preliminarily investigate the potential photothermal therapeutic effect of the probe toward CTC elimination. The applicability of the probe was further demonstrated in gastric cancer patients. By detecting the number of CTCs in the blood of gastric cancer patients, the correlations between the CTC number and the disease stage, as well as distant metastasis were systematically explored.

Abstract
Optogenetically engineered cell population obtained by heterogeneous gene expression plays a vital role in life science, medicine, and biohybrid robotics, and purification and characterization are essential to enhance its application performance. However, the existing cell purification methods suffer from complex sample preparation or inevitable damage and pollution. The efficient and nondestructive label-free purification and characterization of the optogenetically engineered cells, HEK293-ChR2 cells, is provided here using an optically-induced dielectrophoresis (ODEP)-based approach. The distinctive crossover frequencies of the engineered cells and the unmodified cells enable effective separation due to the opposite DEP forces on them. The ODEP-based approach can greatly improve the purity of the separated cell population and especially, the ratio of the engineered cells in the separated cell population can be enhanced by 275% at a low transfection rate. The size and the membrane capacitance of the separated cell population decreases and increases, respectively, as the ratio of the engineered cells grows in the cell population, indicating that successful expression of ChR2 in a single HEK293 cell makes its size and membrane capacitance smaller and larger, respectively. The results of biohybrid imaging with the optogenetically engineered cells demonstrated that cell purification can improve the imaging quality. This work proves that the separation and purification of engineered cells are of great significance for their application in practice.

Abstract
As a kind of recognition molecule, aptamers can be inserted into some regulatory sequences for the smart response of their targets. However, the molecular engineering might lead to the change of the binding affinity. Here, we present a stable aptamer ZAJ-2c and an environmentally sensitive aptamer ZAJ-2d optimized from an original cell-binding aptamer ZAJ-2, and the molecular target was further identified as CD49c on the cell membrane. ZAJ-2c was characterized with high binding ability independent of the presence of divalent cations at a temperature range from 4 to 37 °C, showing promise for measuring the expression of CD49c on cancer cells. Moreover, ZAJ-2d had a nanomolar binding affinity in the binding buffer at 4 °C, the same as ZAJ-2c, but lost the binding ability in a PBS buffer supplemented with 5 mM EDTA at 37 °C. This aptamer variant proved to selectively capture and release the CD49c positive cells by simply adjusting the temperatures and divalent cations. This set of aptamers might provide a toolbox for monitoring and operating of a wide range of cancer cells with CD49c expression on the surface, which will be helpful for the studying the heterogeneity of rare cells.

Abstract
Research on bacterial membrane vesicles (BMVs) is an emerging topic, and the goal is to address whether BMVs can bring translational tools to improve current therapies. In this review, we provided the updated studies on BMVs including their production, their types, and therapeutic regimens for treating infectious diseases and cancers. We described several platforms of BMVs, such as outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), inner membrane vesicles (IMVs) and double membrane vesicles (DMVs), and those structures were produced from Gram-negative or Gram-positive bacteria. We also discussed how to engineer and formulate new and novel BMVs using chemical, physical, and genetic methods. For therapies, we analyzed current methods for loading drugs in BMVs and discussed their limitations. Finally, we reviewed several therapeutic platforms of BMVs that have been exploited in improving the treatments of infectious diseases and cancers. Although BMVs offer the promising biomedical applications, it is needed to develop rigorous approaches and methods to generate reproducible and scalable drug delivery systems for translation.

Abstract
Biomimetic nanoengineering presents great potential in biomedical research by integrating cell membrane (CM) with functional nanoparticles. However, preparation of CM biomimetic nanomaterials for custom applications that can avoid the aggregation of nanocarriers while maintaining the biological activity of CM remains a challenge. Herein, a high-performance CM biomimetic graphene nanodecoy was fabricated via purposeful surface engineering, where polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to modifying magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) to improve its stability in physiological solution, so as to improve the screening efficiency to active components of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). With this strategy, the constructed PEGylated MGO (PMGO) could keep stable at least 10 days, thus improving the CM coating efficiency. Meanwhile, by taking advantage of the inherent ability of HeLa cell membrane (HM) to interact with specific ligands, HM-camouflaged PMGO showed satisfied adsorption capacity (116.2 mg/g) and selectivity. Finally, three potential active components, byakangelicol, imperatorin, and isoimperatorin, were screened from Angelica dahurica, whose potential antiproliferative activity were further validated by pharmacological studies. These results demonstrated that the purposeful surface engineering is a promising strategy for the design of efficient CM biomimetic nanomaterials, which will promote the development of active components screening in TCM.

Abstract
Cell membrane, a semi-permeable membrane composed of phospholipid bilayers, is a natural barrier to prevent extracellular substances from freely entering the cell. Cell membrane with selective permeability and fluidity ensures the relative stability of the intracellular environment and enables various biochemical reactions to smoothly operate in an orderly manner. Inspired by the natural composition and transport process, various cell membranes and synthetic bionic films as the mimics of cell membranes have emerged as appealing camouflage materials for biosensing applications. The membranes are devoted to surface modification and substance delivery, and realize the detection or in situ analysis of multiple biomarkers, such as glucose, nucleic acids, virus, and circulating tumor cells. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in cell membrane camouflage-based biosensing applications, mainly focusing on the use of the membranes extracted from natural cells (e.g., blood cells and cancer cells) as well as biomimetic membranes. Materials and surfaces camouflaged with cell membranes are shown to have superior stability and biocompatibility as well as intrinsic properties of original cells, which greatly facilitate their use in biosensing. In specific, camouflage with blood cell membranes bestows low immunogenicity and prolonged blood circulation time, camouflage with cancer cell membranes provides homologous targeting ability, and camouflage with biomimetic membranes endows considerable plasticity for functionalization. Further research is expected to focus on the deeper understanding of cell-specific properties of membranes and the exploration of hybrid membranes, which might provide new development opportunities for cell membrane camouflage-based biosensing application.

Abstract
Immunomagnetic beads have been widely explored as an important analytical tool for the rapid and sensitive detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). However, their clinical application is seriously hindered by the tedious preparation procedures and heterogeneous nature of CTCs. To this end, a designed multifunctional platform named Fe3O4@TA/CuII superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPMNPs) is expected to have the following features: (i) the formation of a tannic acid-copper (II) ion (TA/CuII) coating which could be accomplished by a one-step method is very simple; (ii) the TA/CuII coating shows high affinity for heterogeneous CTCs and good resistance to nonspecific adhesion of blood cells; (iii) "self-release" of the captured cells could be achieved as the TA/CuII coating gradually degrades in the cell culture environment without any additional interventions. Therefore, the resulting Fe3O4@TA/CuII SPMNPs could capture various CTCs (MCF-7, HepG2 and HeLa cells) with different expression levels of the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM). And the capture efficiency and cell purity can reach 88% and 87%, respectively. In addition, 68% of the captured cells are self-released after 6 h of incubation and most of the released cells show high cell proliferation activity. In particular, Fe3O4@TA/CuII SPMNPs can successfully detect 1-13 CTCs from 1 mL of blood of 14 patients with 6 types of cancers. Hence, we expect that the as-prepared Fe3O4@TA/CuII SPMNPs with simple, efficient, and universal yet cost-efficient characteristics could act as a promising analytical tool for clinical CTC detection.

Abstract
Specific detection of tumors is of pivotal importance to cancer prevention and therapy yet a big challenge. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) as an emerging non-invasive modality has shown great potential in biomedical and clinical applications. The performance of PAI largely depends on the light-absorption coefficient of the imaged tissue and the PAI contrast agent being used, either endogenously or exogenously. The exogenous contrast agents developed so far have greatly helped to improve PAI, but still have some limitations, such as lack of targeting capacity and easy clearance by the host immune system. Herein, we fabricated a biomimetic nanoprobe with cell membrane coating as a novel PAI contrast agent, namely, MPD [membrane-coated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/dye]. In brief, the organic dye 1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindotricarbocyanine iodide (DiR) was encapsulated by the Food and Drug Administration–approved polymer, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), to form polymer nanoparticles by emulsification. The nanoparticles are further coated with the cancer cell membrane to form MPD. MPD has outstanding biocompatibility, tumor specificity, and in vivo stability. Thus, MPD is a versatile NIR-I theranostic nanoplatform for PAI-guided cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Amplifying the chemotherapy-driven immunogenic cell death (ICD) for efficient and safe cancer chemoimmunotherapy remains a challenge. Here, a potential ICD nanoamplifier containing diselenide-bridged mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MONs) and chemotherapeutic ruthenium compound (KP1339) to achieve cancer chemoimmunotherapy is tailored. KP1339-loaded MONs show controlled drug release profiles via glutathione (GSH)-responsive competitive coordination and matrix degradation. High concentration of MONs selectively evoked reactive oxygen species production, GSH depletion, and endoplasmic reticulum stress in cancer cells, thus amplifying the ICD of KP1339 and boosting robust antitumor immunological responses. After the combination of PD-L1 checkpoint blockade, cancer cell membrane-cloaked KP1339-loaded MONs not only regress primary tumor growth with low systemic toxicity, but also inhibit distant tumor growth and pulmonary metastasis of breast cancer. The results have shown the potential of coordination and redox dual-responsive MONs boosting amplified ICD for cancer chemoimmunotherapy.

Abstract
Tumor cells circulating in the peripheral blood are the prime cause of cancer metastasis and death, thus the identification and discrimination of these rare cells are crucial in the diagnostic of cancer. As a label-free detection method without invasion, Raman spectroscopy has already been indicated as a promising method for cell identification. This study uses a confocal Raman spectrometer with 532 nm laser excitation to obtain the Raman spectrum of living cells from the kidney, liver, lung, skin, and breast. Multivariate statistical methods are applied to classify the Raman spectra of these cells. The results validate that these cells can be distinguished from each other. Among the models built to predict unknown cell types, the quadratic discriminant analysis model had the highest accuracy. The demonstrated analysis model, based on the Raman spectrum of cells, is propitious and has great potential in the field of biomedical for classifying circulating tumor cells in the future.

Abstract
Isolation or enrichment of biological molecules from complex biological samples is mostly a prerequisite in proteomics, genomics, and glycomics. Different techniques have been used to advance the efficiency of the purification of biological molecules. Bioaffinity chromatography is one of the most powerful technique that plays an important role in the isolation of target biological molecules by the specific interactions with ligands that are immobilized on different support materials. This review examines the recent developments in bioaffinity chromatography particularly over the past 5 years in the literature. Also properties of supports, immobilization techniques, types of binding agents, and methods used in bioaffinity chromatography applications are summarized.
