Abstract
Historically platelets are mostly known for their crucial contribution to hemostasis, but there is growing understanding of their role in inflammation and immunity. The immunomodulatory role of platelets entails interaction with pathogens, but also with immune cells including macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), to activate adaptive immune responses. In our previous work, we have demonstrated that splenic CD169+ macrophages scavenge liposomes and collaborate with conventional type 1 DCs (cDC1) to induce expansion of CD8+ T cells. Here, we show that platelets associate with liposomes and bind to DNGR-1/Clec9a and CD169/Siglec-1 receptors in vitro. In addition, platelets interacted with splenic CD169+ macrophages and cDC1 and further increased liposome internalization by cDC1. Most importantly, platelet depletion prior to liposomal immunization resulted in significantly diminished antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses, but not germinal center B cell responses. Previously, complement C3 was shown to be essential for platelet-mediated CD8+ T cell activation during bacterial infection. However, after liposomal vaccination CD8+ T cell priming was not dependent on complement C3. While DCs from platelet-deficient mice exhibited unaltered maturation status, they did express lower levels of CCR7. In addition, in the absence of platelets, CCL5 plasma levels were significantly reduced. Overall, our findings demonstrate that platelets engage in a cross-talk with CD169+ macrophages and cDC1 and emphasize the importance of platelets in induction of CD8+ T cell responses in the context of liposomal vaccination.

Abstract
Maintenance of a delicate haemostatic balance or a balance between clotting and bleeding is critical to human health. Irrespective of administration route, nanoparticles can reach the bloodstream and might interrupt the haemostatic balance by interfering with one or more components of the coagulation, anticoagulation, and fibrinolytic systems, which potentially lead to thrombosis or haemorrhage. However, inadequate understanding of their effects on the haemostatic balance, along with the fact that most studies mainly focus on the functionality of nanoparticles while forgetting or leaving behind their risk to the body's haemostatic balance, is a major concern. Hence, our review aims to provide a comprehensive depiction of nanoparticle-haemostatic balance interactions, which has not yet been covered. The synergistic roles of cells and plasma factors participating in haemostatic balance are presented. Possible interactions and interference of each type of nanoparticle with the haemostatic balance are comprehensively discussed, particularly focusing on the underlying mechanisms. Interactions of nanoparticles with innate immunity potentially linked to haemostasis are mentioned. Various physicochemical characteristics that influence the nanoparticle-haemostatic balance are detailed. Challenges and future directions are also proposed. This insight would be valuable for the establishment of nanoparticles that can either avoid unintended interference with the haemostatic balance or purposely downregulate/upregulate its key components in a controlled manner.

Abstract
Nanoparticles offer great promise for more effective drug delivery. However, their particulate nature typically results in rapid systemic clearance by immune cells in blood. Currently, to understand these interactions, nanoparticle association is probed ex vivo with whole blood. While ex vivo assays give important information about the relative cell association, they do not consider changes in immune cell homeostasis or the complex mixing behavior that occurs in vivo. To address this, a nanoparticle in vivo immune-cell association assay is developed to study the in vivo association of unmodified and poly(ethylene glycol) modified liposomes with immune cells, and compared this to the ex vivo association in static whole blood. In vivo, it is observed that neutrophils play a significantly greater role in nanoparticle binding than suggested by ex vivo assays. The increased influence of neutrophils in vivo is largely due to a significant increase in number of circulating neutrophils after intravenous injection. Conversely, the number of circulating monocytes significantly decreased after intravenous injection, leading to significantly less total association of liposomes to monocytes compared to ex vivo. This novel in vivo immune cell binding assay sheds new light on the fate of nanoparticles following intravenous delivery.

Abstract
The use of drug delivery systems (DDS) is an attractive approach to facilitate uptake of therapeutic agents at the desired site of action, particularly when free drug has poor pharmacokinetics/biodistribution (PK/BD) or significant off-site toxicities. Successful translation of DDS into the clinic is dependent on a thorough understanding of the in vivo behavior of the carrier, which has, for the most part, been an elusive goal. This is, at least in part, due to significant differences in the mechanisms controlling pharmacokinetics for classic drugs and DDSs. In this review, we summarize the key physiologic mechanisms controlling the in vivo behavior of DDS, compare and contrast this with classic drugs, and describe engineering strategies designed to improve DDS PK/BD. In addition, we describe quantitative approaches that could be useful for describing PK/BD of DDS, as well as critical steps between tissue uptake and pharmacologic effect.

Abstract
The blood coagulation balance in the organism is achieved by the interaction of the blood platelets (PLTs) with the plasma coagulation system (PCS) and the vascular endothelial cells. In healthy organism, these systems prevent thrombosis and, in events of vascular damage, enable blood clotting to stop bleeding. The dysregulation of hemostasis may cause serious thrombotic and/or hemorrhagic pathologies. Numerous engineered nanomaterials are being investigated for biomedical purposes and are unavoidably exposed to the blood. Also, nanomaterials may access vascular system after occupational, environmental, or other types of exposure. Thus, it is essential to evaluate the effects of engineered nanomaterials on hemostasis. This review focuses on investigations of nanomaterial interactions with the blood components involved in blood coagulation: the PCS and PLTs. Particular emphases include the pathophysiology of effects of nanomaterials on the PCS, including the kallikrein-kinin system, and on PLTs. Methods for investigating these interactions are briefly described, and a review of the most important studies on the interactions of nanomaterials with plasma coagulation and platelets is provided.

Abstract
Nanoparticle interactions with the blood coagulation system can be beneficial or adverse depending on the intended use of a nanomaterial. Nanoparticles can be engineered to be procoagulant or to carry coagulation-initiating factors to treat certain disorders. Likewise, they can be designed to be anticoagulant or to carry anticoagulant drugs to intervene in other pathological conditions in which coagulation is a concern. An overview of the coagulation system was given and a discussion of a desirable interface between this system and engineered nanomaterials was assessed in part I, which was published in the May 2013 issue of Nanomedicine. Unwanted pro- and anti-coagulant properties of nanoparticles represent significant concerns in the field of nanomedicine, and often hamper the development and transition into the clinic of many promising engineered nanocarriers. This part will focus on the undesirable effects of engineered nanomaterials on the blood coagulation system. We will discuss the relationship between the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles (e.g., size, charge and hydrophobicity) that determine their negative effects on the blood coagulation system in order to understand how manipulation of these properties can help to overcome unwanted side effects.

Abstract
Hemophilia A is a rare X-linked bleeding disorder caused by lack or dysfunction of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). Hemophilia A is treated with replacement therapy, but frequent injections of the missing FVIII often lead to the formation of inhibitory antibodies. Patients who develop high levels of inhibitors must be treated with bypassing agents such as activated FVII (FVIIa). Both FVIII and FVIIa have short half-lives and require multiple injections. Long-acting forms of these proteins would therefore reduce the frequency of injections, improve patient compliance and reduce complications. In this article we present a new platform technology that produces long-acting forms of FVIII and FVIIa and improves the efficacy of hemophilia treatment. This technology is based on the binding of proteins/peptides to the outer surface of PEGylated liposomes (PEGLip). Binding is dependent on an amino acid consensus sequence within the proteins and is highly specific. At the same time, binding is non-covalent and does not require any modification of the therapeutic agent or its production process. Association of proteins with PEGLip results in substantial enhancements in their pharmacodynamic properties following administration. These improvements seem to arise from the association of formulated proteins with platelets prior to induction of coagulation.

Abstract
Recombinant FVIII formulated in PEG-ylated liposomes (rFVIII-PEG-Lip) was reported to increase the bleed-free days from 7 to 13 days (at 35 IU/kg rFVIII) in severe hemophilia A patients. To understand the underlying mechanism, we sought to recapitulate its efficacy in hemophilia A mice. Animals treated with rFVIII-PEG-Lip achieved approximately 30% higher survival relative to rFVIII after tail vein transection inflicted 24 hours after dosing. The efficacy of rFVIII-PEG-Lip represents an approximately 2.5-fold higher "apparent" FVIII activity, which is not accounted for by its modestly increased (13%) half-life. The enhanced efficacy requires complex formation between rFVIII and PEG-Lip before the administration. Furthermore, PEG-Lip associates with the majority of platelets and monocytes in vivo, and results in increased P-selectin surface expression on platelets in response to collagen. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) analysis of whole blood from rFVIII-PEG-Lip-treated animals at 5 minutes up to 72 hours after dosing recapitulated the 2- to 3-fold higher apparent FVIII activity. The enhanced procoagulant activity is fully retained in plasma unless microparticles are removed by ultracentrifugation. Taken together, the efficacy of rFVIII-PEG-Lip is mediated mainly by its sensitization of platelets and the generation of procoagulant microparticles that may express sustained high-affinity receptors for FVIII.

Abstract
We have shown previously that PEGylated liposomes (PEGLip) bind recombinant FVIII (rFVIII) with high affinity and specificity. This binding resulted in a significant extension of the biological activity of rFVIII as demonstrated in animal models and in clinical trials. In the present study we found that PEGLip bind plasma-derived factor VIII (pdFVIII). PEGLip binding did not affect potency or stability in vitro and did not alter levels of FVIII activity in vivo immediately after injection. However, formulation of pdFVIII with PEGLip led to several important improvements. Twenty-four and 30 hours after injection, FVIII activity levels were significantly higher in haemophilic mice injected with PEGLip-pdFVIII than in mice injected with standard pdFVIII. Half life, area under the curve and mean residence time were increased while clearance was decreased. In vivo efficacy was evaluated in a tail vein transection assay performed in haemophilic mice. Prophylactic treatment with PEGLip-pdFVIII was much more effective in prolonging survival in this assay than similar treatment with standard pdFVIII. These results suggest that formulation of pdFVIII with PEGLip has the potential to improve patient care by prolonging the biological efficacy of pdFVIII and reducing the frequency of FVIII infusions.

Abstract
This paper describes a method to form giant liposomes in solutions of physiologic ionic strength, such as phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or 150 mM KCl. Formation of these cell-sized liposomes proceeded from hybrid films of partially dried agarose and lipids. Hydrating the films of agarose and lipids in aqueous salt solutions resulted in swelling and partial dissolution of the hybrid films and in concomitant rapid formation of giant liposomes in high yield. This method did not require the presence of an electric field or specialized lipids; it generated giant liposomes from pure phosphatidylcholine lipids or from lipid mixtures that contained cholesterol or negatively charged lipids. Hybrid films of agarose and lipids even enabled the formation of giant liposomes in PBS from lipid compositions that are typically problematic for liposome formation, such as pure phosphatidylserine, pure phosphatidylglycerol, and asolectin. This paper discusses biophysical aspects of the formation of giant liposomes from hybrid films of agarose and lipids in comparison to established methods and shows that gentle hydration of hybrid films of agarose and lipids is a simple, rapid, and reproducible procedure to generate giant liposomes of various lipid compositions in solutions of physiologic ionic strength without the need for specialized equipment.

Abstract
We have previously shown that formulation of coagulation factor VIII and activated factor VII with PEGylated liposomes (PEGLip) results in an extension of circulation time and an increase in hemostatic efficacy. Here we identified additional proteins that associate with PEGLip, including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Surface plasmon resonance analyses indicated that G-CSF bound noncovalently but with high affinity and specificity to PEGLip. A pharmacokinetic study in mice demonstrated that PEGLip formulation of G-CSF extended its circulation time and resulted in higher G-CSF levels several hours after both subcutaneous and intravenous injection. PEGLip-formulated G-CSF had a significantly improved efficacy in the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood. The results suggest that PEGLip-formulated G-CSF may function as an effective and safe tool for the mobilization of HSC prior to bone marrow transplantation. We also identified an amino acid sequence present in proteins that associate with PEGLip but absent from those that do not. A peptide based on this consensus sequence bound PEGLip. The results suggest that PEGLip formulation may serve as a platform for the delivery of additional short-half-life proteins/peptides having the relevant consensus sequence.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pegylated and nonpegylated cetyl alcohol/polysorbate nanoparticles (E78 NPs) are being tested as drug carriers for specific tumor and brain targeting. Because these nanoparticle formulations are designed for systemic administration, it is important to test the compatibility of these lipid-based NPs with blood and blood cells. METHODS The hemocompatibility of E78 NPs was evaluated with a particular focus on hemolytic activity, platelet function, and blood coagulation. Human red blood cell lysis was determined by measuring hemoglobin release. Activation and aggregation of human platelets were determined using flow cytometry and aggregometry, respectively. Finally, the whole blood clotting time was measured using human blood. RESULTS E78 NPs did not cause in vitro red blood cell lysis at concentrations up to 1 mg/mL. In addition, under conditions tested, E78 and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated E78 NPs (PEG-E78 NPs) did not activate platelets. In fact, both NP formulations very rapidly inhibited agonist-induced platelet activation and aggregation in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, E78 NPs significantly prolonged in vitro whole blood clotting time at a concentration of 500 microg/mL or greater. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that PEG-coated and nonpegylated E78 NPs have potential blood compatibility at clinically relevant doses. Based on the calculated nanoparticle-to-platelet ratio, the concentration at which E78 NPs could potentially affect platelet function in vivo was approximately 1 mg/mL.
