Abstract
In the intricate landscape of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), the management of TBI remains a challenging task due to the extremely complex pathophysiological conditions and excessive release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the injury site and the limited regenerative capacities of the central nervous system (CNS). Existing pharmaceutical interventions are limited in their ability to efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and expeditiously target areas of brain inflammation. In response to these challenges herein, we designed novel mussel inspired polydopamine (PDA)-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PDA-AMSNs) with excellent antioxidative ability to deliver a new potential therapeutic GSK-3β inhibitor lead small molecule abbreviated as Neuro Chemical Modulator (NCM) at the TBI site using a neuroprotective peptide hydrogel (PANAP). PDA-AMSNs loaded with NCM (i.e., PDA-AMSN-D) into the matrix of PANAP were injected into the damaged area in an in vivo cryogenic brain injury model (CBI). This approach is specifically built while keeping the logic AND gate circuit as the primary focus. Where NCM and PDA-AMSNs act as two input signals and neurological functional recovery as a single output. Therapeutically, PDA-AMSN-D significantly decreased infarct volume, enhanced neurogenesis, rejuvenated BBB senescence, and accelerated neurological function recovery in a CBI.

Abstract
Aluminum salts still remain as the most popular adjuvants in marketed human prophylactic vaccines due to their capability to trigger humoral immune responses with a good safety record. However, insufficient induction of cellular immune responses limits their further applications. In this study, we prepare a library of silicon (Si)- or calcium (Ca)-doped aluminum oxyhydroxide (AlOOH) nanoadjuvants. They exhibit well-controlled physicochemical properties, and the dopants are homogeneously distributed in nanoadjuvants. By using Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) as the model antigen, doped AlOOH nanoadjuvants mediate higher antigen uptake and promote lysosome escape of HBsAg through lysosomal rupture induced by the dissolution of the dopant in the lysosomes in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs). Additionally, doped nanoadjuvants trigger higher antigen accumulation and immune cell activation in draining lymph nodes. In HBsAg and varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein E (gE) vaccination models, doped nanoadjuvants induce high IgG titer, activations of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and generations of effector memory T cells. Doping of aluminum salt-based adjuvants with biological safety profiles and immunostimulating capability is a potential strategy to mediate robust humoral and cellular immunity. It potentiates the applications of engineered adjuvants in the development of vaccines with coordinated immune responses.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic disease caused by bacterial infection and is characterized with alveolar bone resorption. Bone regeneration in periodontitis remains a critical challenge because bacterial infection induced an unfavorable microenvironment for osteogenesis. Therefore, it is necessary to design proper therapeutic platforms to control bacterial infection and promote bone regeneration. Herein, mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) with different pore sizes (3.0, 4.3, and 12.3 nm) was used as an in situ reactor to confine the growth of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), forming MBG@Au hybrids which combine the osteoconductivity of MBG and antibacterial properties of Au NPs. Upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the MBG@Au NPs showed efficient antibacterial properties both in vitro and in vivo. Besides, the osteogenesis properties of MBG@Au also improved under NIR irradiation. Furthermore, the in vivo results demonstrated that MBG@Au can effectively promote alveolar bone regeneration and realize the healing of serious periodontitis.

Abstract
Avian influenza virus subtype H9N2 has the ability to infect birds and humans, further causing significant losses to the poultry industry and even posing a great threat to human health. Oral vaccine received particular interest for preventing majority infection due to its ability to elicit both mucosal and systemic immune responses, but their development is limited by the bad gastrointestinal (GI) environment, compact epithelium and mucus barrier, and the lack of effective mucosal adjuvants. Herein, we developed the dendritic fibrous nano-silica (DFNS) grafted with Cistanche deserticola polysaccharide (CDP) nanoparticles (CDP-DFNS) as an adjuvant for H9N2 vaccine. Encouragingly, CDP-DFNS facilitated the proliferation of T and B cells, and further induced the activation of T lymphocytes in vitro. Moreover, CDP-DFNS/H9N2 significantly promoted the antigen-specific antibodies levels in serum and intestinal mucosal of chickens, indicating the good ability to elicit both systemic and mucosal immunity. Additional, CDP-DFNS facilitate the activation of CD4 + and CD8 + T cells both in spleen and intestinal mucosal, and the indexes of immune organs. This study suggested that CDP-DFNS may be a new avenue for development of oral vaccine against pathogens that are transmitted via mucosal route.

Abstract
Although protein subunit vaccines generally have acceptable safety profiles with precise antigenic content, limited immunogenicity can lead to unsatisfactory humoral and cellular immunity and the need for vaccine adjuvants and delivery system. Herein, we assess a vaccine adjuvant system comprising Quillaja Saponaria-21(QS-21) and cobalt porphyrin polymeric micelles that enabling the display of His-tagged antigen on its surface. The nanoscale micelles promote antigen uptake and dendritic cell activation to induce robust cytotoxic T lymphocyte response and germinal center formation. Using the recombinant protein antigens from influenza A and rabies virus, the micelle adjuvant system elicited robust antiviral responses and protected mice from lethal challenge. In addition, this system could be combined with other antigens to induce high titers of neutralizing antibodies in models of three highly pathogenic viral pathogens: Ebola virus, Marburg virus, and Nipah virus. Collectively, our results demonstrate this polymeric micelle adjuvant system can be used as a potent nanoplatform for developing antiviral vaccine countermeasures that promote humoral and cellular immunity.

Abstract
Immobilization of proteolytic enzymes onto nanocarriers is effective to improve drug diffusion in tumors through degrading the dense extracellular matrix (ECM). Herein, immobilization and release behaviors of hyaluronidase, bromelain, and collagenase (Coll) on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were explored. A series of cationic MSNs (CMSNs) with large and adjustable pore sizes were synthesized, and investigated together with two anionic MSNs of different pore sizes. CMSNs4.0 exhibited the highest enzyme loading capacity for hyaluronidase and bromelain, and CMSNs4.5 was the best for Coll. High electrostatic interaction, matched pore size, and large pore volume and surface area favor the immobilization. Changes of the enzyme conformations and surface charges with pH, existence of a space around the immobilized enzymes, and the depth of the pore structures, affect the release ratio and tunability. The optimal CMSNs-enzyme complexes exhibited deep and homogeneous penetration into pancreatic tumors, a tumor model with the densest ECM, with CMSNs4.5-Coll as the best. Upon loading with doxorubicin (DOX), the CMSNs-enzyme complexes induced high anti-tumor efficiencies. Conceivably, the DOX/CMSNs4.5-NH2-Coll nanodrug exhibited the most effective tumor therapy, with a tumor growth inhibition ratio of 86.1 %. The study provides excellent nanocarrier-enzyme complexes, and offers instructive theories for enhanced tumor penetration and therapy.

[PMID: 38408550 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2024.111116] [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: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
Cell-penetrating peptides have been extensively utilized for the purpose of facilitating the intracellular delivery of cargo that is impermeable to the cell membrane. The researchers have exhibited proficient delivery capabilities for oligonucleotides, thereby establishing cell-penetrating peptides as a potent instrument in the field of gene therapy. Furthermore, they have demonstrated a high level of efficiency in delivering several additional payloads. Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) possess the capability to efficiently transport therapeutic molecules to specific cells, hence offering potential remedies for many illnesses. Hence, their utilization is imperative for the improvement of therapeutic vaccines. In contemporary studies, a plethora of cell-penetrating peptides have been unveiled, each characterized by its own distinct structural attributes and associated mechanisms. Although it is widely acknowledged that there are multiple pathways through which particles might be internalized, a comprehensive understanding of the specific mechanisms by which these particles enter cells has to be fully elucidated. The absorption of cell-penetrating peptides can occur through either direct translocation or endocytosis. However, it is worth noting that categories of cell-penetrating peptides are not commonly linked to specific entrance mechanisms. Furthermore, research has demonstrated that cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) possess the capacity to enhance antigen uptake by cells and facilitate the traversal of various biological barriers. The primary objective of this work is to examine the mechanisms by which cell-penetrating peptides are internalized by cells and their significance in facilitating the administration of drugs, particularly in the context of gene therapy and vaccine development. The current study investigates the immunostimulatory properties of numerous vaccine components administered using different cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs). This study encompassed a comprehensive discussion on various topics, including the uptake pathways and mechanisms of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), the utilization of CPPs as innovative vectors for gene therapy, the role of CPPs in vaccine development, and the potential of CPPs for antigen delivery in the context of vaccine development.

Abstract
Vaccines represent one of the most powerful and cost-effective innovations for controlling a wide range of infectious diseases caused by various viruses and bacteria. Unlike mRNA and DNA-based vaccines, subunit vaccines carry no risk of insertional mutagenesis and can be lyophilized for convenient transportation and long-term storage. However, existing adjuvants are often associated with toxic effect and reactogenicity, necessitating expanding the repertoire of adjuvants with better biocompatibility, for instance, designing self-adjuvating polymeric carriers. We herein report a novel subunit vaccine delivery platform constructed via in situ free radical polymerization of C7A (2-(Hexamethyleneimino) ethyl methacrylate) and acrylamide around the surface of individual protein antigens. Using ovalbumin (OVA) as a model antigen, we observed substantial increases in both diameter (∼70 nm) and surface potential (-1.18 mV) following encapsulation, referred to as n(OVA)C7A. C7A's ultra pH sensitivity with a transition pH around 6.9 allows for rapid protonation in acidic environments. This property facilitates crucial processes such as endosomal escape and major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-I-mediated antigen presentation, culminating in the substantial CD8+ T cell activation. Additionally, compared to OVA nanocapsules without the C7A components and native OVA without modifications, we observed heightened B cell activation within the germinal center, along with remarkable increases in serum antibody and cytokine production. It's important to note that mounting evidence suggests that adjuvant effects, particularly its targeted stimulation of type I interferons (IFNs), can contribute to advantageous adaptive immune responses. Beyond its exceptional potency, the nanovaccine also demonstrated robust formation of immune memory and exhibited a favorable biosafety profile. These findings collectively underscore the promising potential of our nanovaccine in the realm of immunotherapy and vaccine development.

Assessment of Tunable Resistive Pulse Sensing (TRPS) Technology for Particle Size Distribution in Vaccine Formulations - A Comparative Study with Dynamic Light Scattering. Pharm Res 2024; 41:1021-1029. [PMID: 38649535 DOI: 10.1007/s11095-024-03698-y] [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: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE A comparative assessment was performed to evaluate the potential of particle sizing by an ensemble based conventional dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique and an emerging technology based on tunable resistive pulse sensing (TRPS) using particle by particle approach by evaluating three different types of vaccine formulations representing three case studies and showing the limitation of each technique, instrument variability, sensitivity, and the resolution in mixed population. METHODS Three types of in-house vaccine formulations- a protein antigen, an outer membrane vesicle and viral particles were simultaneously evaluated by TRPS based Exoid and two DLS instruments-Zetatrac and Zetasizer for particle size distribution, aggregates, and resolution of polydisperse species. RESULTS The data from first case study show the risk of possible size overestimation and size averaging in polydisperse samples in DLS measurements which can be addressed by the TRPS analysis. It also shows how TRPS may be utilized only to large size antigens due to its limited size range. The second case study highlights the difference in the sensitivities of two DLS instruments working on the same principle. The third case study show that how TRPS can better resolve the large aggregate species compare to DLS in polydisperse samples. CONCLUSION This analysis shows that TRPS can be used as an orthogonal technique in addition to conventional DLS based methods for more precise and in-depth characterization. Both techniques are efficient in size characterization and produce comparable results, however the choice will depend on the type of formulation and size range to be evaluated.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy recently transforms the traditional approaches against various cancer malignancies. Immunotherapy includes systemic and local treatments to enhance immune responses against cancer and involves strategies such as immune checkpoints, cancer vaccines, immune modulatory agents, mimetic antigen-presenting cells, and adoptive cell therapy. Despite promising results, these approaches still suffer from several limitations including lack of precise delivery of immune-modulatory agents to the target cells and off-target toxicity, among others, that can be overcome using nanotechnology. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are investigated to improve various aspects of cancer immunotherapy attributed to the advantageous structural features of this nanomaterial. MSNs can be engineered to alter their properties such as size, shape, porosity, surface functionality, and adjuvanticity. This review explores the immunological properties of MSNs and the use of MSNs as delivery vehicles for immune-adjuvants, vaccines, and mimetic antigen-presenting cells (APCs). The review also details the current strategies to remodel the tumor microenvironment to positively reciprocate toward the anti-tumor immune cells and the use of MSNs for immunotherapy in combination with other anti-tumor therapies including photodynamic/thermal therapies to enhance the therapeutic effect against cancer. Last, the present demands and future scenarios for the use of MSNs for cancer immunotherapy are discussed.

Abstract
Immunosenescence increases the risk and severity of diseases in elderly individuals and leads to impaired vaccine-induced immunity. With aging of the global population and the emerging risk of epidemics, developing adjuvants and vaccines for elderly individuals to improve their immune protection is pivotal for healthy aging worldwide. Deepening our understanding of the role of immunosenescence in vaccine efficacy could accelerate research focused on optimizing vaccine delivery for elderly individuals. In this review, we analyzed the characteristics of immunosenescence at the cellular and molecular levels. Strategies to improve vaccination potency in elderly individuals are summarized, including increasing the antigen dose, preparing multivalent antigen vaccines, adding appropriate adjuvants, inhibiting chronic inflammation, and inhibiting immunosenescence. We hope that this review can provide a review of new findings with regards to the impacts of immunosenescence on vaccine-mediated protection and inspire the development of individualized vaccines for elderly individuals.

Abstract
The immune regulation of the lymphatic system, especially the lymph node (LN), is of great significance for the treatment of diseases and the inhibition of pathogenic organisms spreading in the body. However, achieving precise spatiotemporal control of immune cell activation in LN in vivo remains a challenge due to tissue depth and off-target effects. Furthermore, minimally invasive and real-time feedback methods to monitor the regulation of the immune system in LN are lacking. Here, focused ultrasound responsive immunomodulator loaded nanoplatform (FURIN) with near-infrared II (NIR-II) luminescence is designed to achieve spatiotemporally controllable immune activation in LN in vivo. The NIR-II persistent luminescence of FURIN can track its delivery in LN through bioimaging. Under focused ultrasound (FUS) stimulation, the immunomodulator encapsulated in FURIN can be released locally in the LN to activate immune cells such as dendritic cells and the NIR-II mechanoluminescence of FURIN provides real-time optical feedback signals for immune activation. This work points to a FUS mediated, spatiotemporal selective immune activation strategy in vivo with the feedback control of luminescence signals via ultrasound responsive nanocomposite, which is of great significance in improving the efficacy and reducing the side effect of immune regulation for the development of potential immunotherapeutic methods in the future.

Abstract
Rapamycin is a potent immunosuppressive drug that has been recently proposed for a wide range of applications beyond its current clinical use. For some of these proposed applications, encapsulation in nanoparticles is key to ensure therapeutic efficacy and safety. In this work, we evaluate the effect of pore size on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) as rapamycin nanocarriers. The successful preparation of MSN with 4 different pore sizes was confirmed by dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy and N2 adsorption. In these materials, rapamycin loading was pore size-dependent, with smaller pore MSN exhibiting greater loading capacity. Release studies showed sustained drug release from all MSN types, with larger pore MSN presenting faster release kinetics. In vitro experiments using the murine dendritic cell (DC) line model DC2.4 showed that pore size influenced the biological performance of MSN. MSN with smaller pore sizes presented larger nanoparticle uptake by DC2.4 cells, but were also associated with slightly larger cytotoxicity. Further evaluation of DC2.4 cells incubated with rapamycin-loaded MSN also demonstrated a significant effect of MSN pore size on their immunological response. Notably, the combination of rapamycin-loaded MSN with an inflammatory stimulus (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) led to changes in the expression of DC activation markers (CD40 and CD83) and in the production of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α compared to LPS-treated DC without nanoparticles. Smaller-pored MSN induced more substantial reductions in CD40 expression while eliciting increased CD83 expression, indicating potential immunomodulatory effects. These findings highlight the critical role of MSN pore size in modulating rapamycin loading, release kinetics, cellular uptake, and subsequent immunomodulatory responses.

Abstract
The cellular barriers are major bottlenecks for bioactive compounds entering into cells to accomplish their biological functions, which limits their biomedical applications. Nanocarriers have demonstrated high potential and benefits for encapsulating bioactive compounds and efficiently delivering them into target cells by overcoming a cascade of intracellular barriers to achieve desirable therapeutic and diagnostic effects. In this review, we introduce the cellular barriers ahead of drug delivery and nanocarriers, as well as summarize recent advances and strategies of nanocarriers for increasing internalization with cells, promoting intracellular trafficking, overcoming drug resistance, targeting subcellular locations and controlled drug release. Lastly, the future perspectives of nanocarriers for intracellular drug delivery are discussed, which mainly focus on potential challenges and future directions. Our review presents an overview of intracellular drug delivery by nanocarriers, which may encourage the future development of nanocarriers for efficient and precision drug delivery into a wide range of cells and subcellular targets.

Abstract
Oral vaccines are a safe and convenient alternative to injected vaccines and have great potential to prevent major infectious diseases. However, the harsh gastrointestinal (GI) environment, mucus barriers, low immunogenicity, and lack of effective and safe mucosal adjuvants are the major challenges for oral vaccine delivery. In recent years, nanoparticle-based strategies have become attractive for improving oral vaccine delivery. Here, the dendritic fibrous nano-silica (DFNS) grafted with Cistanche deserticola polysaccharide (CDP) nanoparticles (CDP-DFNS) were prepared and investigated how to impact the immune responses. CDP-DFNS facilitated the antigen uptake in mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs), and induce the activation of DCs in vitro. Furthermore, in vivo experiments, the result showed that the uptake efficiency by Peyer's patches (PPs) of CDP-DFNS/BSA was the best. And CDP-DFNS/BSA then significantly activated the DCs in lamina propria (LP), and T/B cells in PPs and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs). Moreover, the memory T cell responses in later period of vaccination was stronger than other groups. In addition, CDP-DFNS/BSA enhanced BSA-specific antibody IgG, IgA production, and SIgA secretion, was effective at inducing a strong mixed Th1/Th2 response and mucosal antibody responses. These results indicated that CDP-DFNS deserves further consideration as an oral vaccine adjuvant delivery system.

Abstract
The invention of silica-based bioactive glass in the late 1960s has sparked significant interest in exploring a wide range of silicon-containing biomaterials from the macroscale to the nanoscale. Over the past few decades, these biomaterials have been extensively explored for their potential in diverse biomedical applications, considering their remarkable bioactivity, excellent biocompatibility, facile surface functionalization, controllable synthesis, etc. However, to expedite the clinical translation and the unexpected utilization of silicon-composed nanomedicine and biomaterials, it is highly desirable to achieve a thorough comprehension of their characteristics and biological effects from an overall perspective.

Micro-to-Nano Oncolytic Microbial System Shifts from Tumor Killing to Tumor Draining Lymph Nodes Remolding for Enhanced Immunotherapy. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2306488. [PMID: 37844257 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202306488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
Because the tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) microenvironment is commonly immunosuppressive, oncolytic microbe-induced tumor antigens aren't sufficiently cross-primed tumor specific T cells through antigen-presenting cells (e.g., dendritic cells (DCs)) in TDLNs. Herein, this work develops the micro-to-nano oncolytic microbial therapeutics based on pyranose oxidase (P2 O) overexpressed Escherichia coli (EcP) which are simultaneously encapsulated by PEGylated mannose and low-concentrated photosensitizer nanoparticles (NPs). Following administration, P2 O from this system generates toxic hydrogen peroxide for tumor regression and leads to the release of tumor antigens. The "microscale" EcP is triggered, following exposure to the laser irradiation, to secrete the "nanoscale" bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). The enhanced TDLNs delivery via OMVs significantly regulates the TDLNs immunomicroenvironment, promoting the maturation of DCs to potentiate tumor antigen-specific T cells immune response. The micro-to-nano oncolytic microbe is leveraged to exert tumor killing and remold TDLNs for initiating potent activation of DCs, providing promising strategies to facilitate microbial cancer vaccination.

Abstract
The CRISPR-Cas12a RNA-guided complexes hold immense promise for nucleic acid detection. However, limitations arise from their specificity in detecting off-targets and the stability of the signal molecules. Here, we have developed a platform that integrates multiplex amplification and nanomolecular-reporting signals, allowing us to detect various clinically relevant nucleic acid targets with enhanced stability, sensitivity, and visual interpretation. Through the electrostatic co-assembly of the Oligo reporter with oppositely charged nanoparticles, we observed a significant enhancement in its stability in low-pollution environments, reaching up to a threefold increase compared to the original version. Additionally, the fluorescence efficiency was expanded by three orders of magnitude, broadening the detection range considerably. Utilizing a multiplex strategy, this assay can accomplish simultaneous detection of multiple targets and single-point indication detection of nine specific targets. This significant advancement heightened the sensitivity of disease screening and improved the accuracy of diagnosing disease-related changes. We tested this assay in a colorectal cancer model, demonstrating that it can identify DNA methylation features at the aM-level within 40-60 min. Validation using clinical samples yielded consistent results with qPCR and bisulfite sequencing, affirming the assay's reliability and potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Adjuvants have been extensively and essentially formulated in subunits and certain inactivated vaccines for enhancing and prolonging protective immunity against infections and diseases. According to the types of infectious diseases and the required immunity, adjuvants with various acting mechanisms have been designed and applied in human vaccines. In this chapter, we introduce the advances in vaccine adjuvants based on nanomaterials and small molecules. By reviewing the immune mechanisms induced by adjuvants with different characteristics, we aim to establish structure-activity relationships between the physicochemical properties of adjuvants and their immunostimulating capability for the development of adjuvants for more effective preventative and therapeutic vaccines.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been widely praised as nanoadjuvants in vaccine/tumor immunotherapy thanks to their excellent biocompatibility, easy-to-modify surface, adjustable particle size, and remarkable immuno-enhancing activity. However, the application of MSNs is still greatly limited by some severe challenges including the unclear and complicated relationships of structure and immune effect. Herein, three commonly used MSNs with different skeletons including MSN with tetrasulfide bonds (TMSN), MSN containing ethoxy framework (EMSN), and pure -Si-O-Si- framework of MSN (MSN) are comprehensively compared to study the impact of chemical construction on immune effect. The results fully demonstrate that the three MSNs have great promise in improving cellular immunity for tumor immunotherapy. Moreover, the TMSN performs better than the other two MSNs in antigen loading, cellular uptake, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, lymph node targeting, immune activation, and therapeutic efficiency. The findings provide a new paradigm for revealing the structure-function relationship of mesoporous silica nanoadjuvants, paving the way for their future clinical application.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SNP) have gained tremendous attention in the recent decades. They have been used in many different biomedical fields including diagnosis, biosensing and drug delivery. Medical uses of SNP for anti-cancer, anti-microbial and theranostic applications are especially prominent due to their exceptional performance to deliver many different small molecules and recently biologics (mRNA, siRNA, antigens, antibodies, proteins, and peptides) at targeted sites. The physical and chemical properties of SNP such as large specific surface area, tuneable particle size and porosity, excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility make them an ideal drug delivery and diagnostic platform. Based on the available data and the pre-clinical performance of SNP, recent interest has driven these innovative materials towards clinical application with many of the formulations already in Phase I and Phase II trials. Herein, the progress of SNP in biomedical field is reviewed, and their safety aspects are analysed. Importantly, we critically evaluate the key structural characteristics of SNP to overcome different biological barriers including the blood-brain barrier (BBB), skin, tumour barrier and mucosal barrier. Future directions, potential pathways, and target areas towards rapid clinical translation of SNP are also recommended.

Abstract
Inspired by the unique pharmacological effects of chiral drugs in the asymmetrical body environments, it is assumed that the chirality of nanocarriers is also a key factor to determine their oral adsorption efficiency, apart from their size, shape, etc. Herein, l/d-tartaric acid modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (l/d-CMSNs) are fabricated via a one-pot cocondensation method, and focused on whether the oral adsorption of nanocarriers will be benefited from their chirality. It is found that l-CMSN performed better in the sequential oral absorption processes, including mucus permeation, mucosa bio-adhesion, cellular uptake, intestinal transport and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) retention, than those of the d-chiral (d-CMSN), racemic (dl-CMSN), and achiral (MSN) counterparts. The multiple chiral recognition mechanisms are experimentally and theoretically demonstrated following simple differential adsorption on biointerfaces, wherein electrostatic interaction is the dominant energy. During the oral delivery task, l-CMSN, which is proven to be stable, nonirritative, biocompatible, and biodegradable, is efficiently absorbed into the blood (1.72-2.05-fold higher than other nanocarriers), and helps the loaded doxorubicin (DOX) to achieve better intestinal transport (2.32-27.03-times higher than other samples), satisfactory bioavailability (449.73%) and stronger antitumor effect (up to 95.43%). These findings validated the dominant role of chirality in determining the biological fate of nanocarriers.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease (AD) caused by the aberrant attack of the immune system on its own joint tissues. Genetic and environmental factors are the main reasons of immune system impairment and high incidence of RA. Although there are medications on the market that lessen disease activity, there is no known cure for RA, and patients are at risk in varying degrees of systemic immunosuppression. By transporting (encapsulating or surface binding) RA-related self-antigens, nucleic acids, immunomodulators, or cytokines, tolerogenic nanoparticles-also known as immunomodulatory nano-preparations-have the potential to gently regulate local immune responses and ultimately induce antigen-specific immune tolerance. We review the recent advances in immunomodulatory nano-preparations for delivering self-antigen or self-antigen plus immunomodulator, simulating apoptotic cell avatars in vivo, acting as artificial antigen-presenting cells, and based on scaffolds and gels, to provide a reference for developing new immunotherapies for RA.

Abstract
Immunotherapy that aims to boost the body's immune responses against pathogens or diseased cells has achieved significant progress for treating different diseases over the past several decades, especially with the success of checkpoint blockades, chimeric antigen receptor T therapy, and cancer vaccines in clinical cancer treatment. Effective immunotherapy necessitates the generation of potent and persistent humoral and T-cell responses, which lies in the ability of modulating and guiding antigen-presenting cells to prime antigen-specific T and B cells in the lymphoid tissues, notably in the lymph nodes proximal to the disease site. To this end, various types of strategies have been developed to facilitate the delivery of immunomodulatory agents to immune cells (e.g. dendritic cells and T cells) in the lymph nodes. Among them, intranodal injection enables the direct exposure of immunomodulators to immune cells in lymph nodes, but is limited by the technical challenge and intrinsic invasiveness. To address, multiple passive and active lymph node-targeting technologies have been developed. In this review, we will provide an overview of different lymph node-targeting technologies developed to date, as well as the mechanism and merits of each approach.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is an effective adjunct to surgery for preventing tumor recurrence and metastasis in postoperative tumor patients. Although mimicking microbial invasion and immune activation pathways can effectively stimulate the immune system, the limited capacity of microbial components to bind antigens and adjuvants restricts the development of this system. Here, we construct bionic yeast carriers (BYCs) by in situ polymerization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) within the yeast capsules (YCs). BYCs can mimic the yeast infection pathway while utilizing the loading capacity of MSNs for multiple substances. Pore size and hydrophobicity-modified BYC can be loaded with both antigen and adjuvant R848. Oral or subcutaneous injection uptake of coloaded BYCs demonstrated positive therapeutic effects as a tumor therapeutic vaccine in both the transplantation tumor model and the metastasis tumor model. 57% of initial 400 mm3 tumor recurrence models are completely cured with coloaded BYCs via combination therapy with surgery, utilizing surgically resected tumors as antigens. The BYCs construction and coloading strategy will provide insights and optimistic approaches for the development of effective and controllable cancer vaccine carriers.

The Distinct Properties of Polysaccharide Nanoparticles Tune Immune Responses against mRNA Antigen via Stimulator of Interferon Genes-Mediated Autophagy and Inflammasome.

Abstract
mRNA antigens require powerful nanocarriers for efficient delivery, as well as immunomodulators for controlling their excessive immunogenicity. While lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used in mRNA vaccines exhibited systemic toxicity, there is an urgent need for developing potential nanoparticles with strong immunoenhancing effects for mRNA antigens. Although natural polysaccharides as adjuvants assisted various types of antigens in triggering potent immune responses, they have been rarely investigated in mRNA vaccines. Here, we constructed four polysaccharide nanoparticles with different molecular weights (MWs) to deliver and protect mRNA antigens, and boosted antigen cross-presentation, DC maturation, CD4+/CD8+T cell responses and humoral immune responses. Importantly, the immunoenhancing capacities of polysaccharide nanoparticles were highly dependent on their MW properties. CS NPs with high MW initiated stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-mediated autophagy and NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome signaling, consequently possessing superior mRNA antigen-specific immune responses in vitro and in vivo. In contrast, CS NPs with low MWs induced NLRP3 signaling without STING or autophagy activation, which failed to induce robust immune responses. Therefore, it uncovered the MW-dependent immunoenhancing effects and mechanism of polysaccharide nanoparticles, providing a platform for designing potential nanosized polysaccharide immunomodulators for mRNA vaccines.

Abstract
The presence of a biofilm matrix barrier and hypoxic microenvironment within the biofilm significantly impedes the efficacy of photodynamic therapy for bacterial biofilm infections. Herein, a phototherapeutic nanoagent with type-I photodynamic behavior and nitric oxide (NO) release performance is reported for overcoming biofilm-associated infectious diseases. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a NO donor, is loaded onto amino-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) to form MSN@SNP NPs. The resulting nanoparticles are further modified with a porphyrin-based metal-organic framework (Ti-TCPP MOF) to obtain MSN@MOF/SNP NPs (MMS NPs) for phototherapeutic applications. In the hypoxia biofilm microenvironment, the MMS NPs release NO to enhance the biofilm permeability and induce the generation of hydroxyl radical (•OH) and superoxide anion radical (O2 •- ) via Type-I photodynamic pathway under laser irradiation. Subsequently, the biofilm-associated infections are effectively eliminated through reactive oxygen species (ROS) and NO gas synergistic therapy. In addition, NO also stimulates collagen deposition and promotes angiogenesis in vivo. Therefore, the MMS NPs efficiently treat biofilm-related infections, providing an alternative approach to combat biofilm-associated infectious diseases.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the field of cancer treatment through invigorating robust antitumor immune response. Here, we report the development of a therapeutic vaccine [consisting of high mobility group nucleosome-binding protein 1 (HMGN1), resiquimod/R848, and anti-PD-L1 (αPD-L1)]-loaded reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN@TheraVac) for curative therapy of colon cancer. In MSN@TheraVac, αPD-L1 conjugated onto the surface of MSNs via a diselenide bond, which can be rapidly released under the oxidative condition of the tumor microenvironment to avert immunosuppression and effector T cell exhaustion while coloaded HMGN1 and R848 would cooperatively trigger robust tumor-infiltrating dendritic cell (TiDC) maturation and elicitation of antitumor immune responses. Indeed, MSN@TheraVac induced the maturation and activation of dendritic cells (DCs) by promoting the surface expression of CD80, CD86, and CD103 as well as the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNFα, IL-12, and IL-1β. Importantly, treatment with intravenous MSN@TheraVac led to a complete cure of 100% of BALB/c mice bearing large colon tumors and induced the generation of tumor-specific protective memory without apparent toxicity. Thus, MSN@TheraVac provides a timely release of TheraVac for the curative treatment of colon tumors and holds potential for translation into a clinical therapy for patients with immunologically "cold" colorectal cancers. This ROS-responsive MSN platform may also be tailored for the selective delivery of other cancer vaccines for effective immunotherapy.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), as the largest family of membrane receptors, actively modulate plasma membrane and endosomal signalling. Importantly, GPCRs are naturally nanosized, and spontaneously formed nanoaggregates of GPCRs (natural nano-GPCRs) may enhance GPCR-related signalling and functions. Although GPCRs are the molecular targets of the majority of marketed drugs, the poor pharmacokinetics and physicochemical properties of GPCR ligands greatly limit their clinical applicability. Nanotechnology, as versatile techniques, can encapsulate GPCR ligands to assemble synthetic nano-GPCRs to overcome their obstacles, robustly elevating drug efficacy and safety. Moreover, endosomal delivery of GPCR ligands by nanoparticles can precisely initiate sustained endosomal signal transduction, while nanotechnology has been widely utilized for isolation, diagnosis, and detection of GPCRs. In turn, due to overexpression of GPCRs on the surface of various types of cells, GPCR ligands can endow nanoparticles with active targeting capacity for specific cells via ligand-receptor binding and mediate receptor-dependent endocytosis of nanoparticles. This significantly enhances the potency of nanoparticle delivery systems. Therefore, emerging evidence has revealed the interplay between GPCRs and nanoparticles, although investigations into their relationship have been inadequate. This review aims to summarize the interaction between GPCRs and nanotechnology for understanding their mutual influences and utilizing their interplay for biomedical applications. It will provide a fundamental platform for developing powerful and safe GPCR-targeted drugs and nanoparticle systems. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: GPCRs as molecular targets for the majority of marketed drugs are naturally nanosized, and even spontaneously form nano aggregations (nano-GPCRs). Nanotechnology has also been applied to construct synthetic nano-GPCRs or detect GPCRs, while endosomal delivery of GPCR ligands by nanoparticles can magnify endosomal signalling. Meanwhile, molecular engineering of nanoparticles with GPCRs or their ligands can modulate membrane binding and endocytosis, powerfully improving the efficacy of nanoparticle system. However, there are rare summaries on the interaction between GPCRs and nanoparticles. This review will not only provide a versatile platform for utilizing nanoparticles to modulate or detect GPCRs, but also facilitate better understanding of the designated value of GPCRs for molecular engineering of biomaterials with GPCRs in therapeutical application.

Abstract
Activating humoral and cellular immunity in lymph nodes (LNs) of nanoparticle-based vaccines is critical to controlling tumors. However, how the physical properties of nanovaccine carriers orchestrate antigen capture, lymphatic delivery, antigen presentation and immune response in LNs is largely unclear. Here, we manufactured gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with the same size but different shapes (cages, rods, and stars), and loaded tumor antigen as nanovaccines to explore their disparate characters on above four areas. Results revealed that star-shaped AuNPs captured and retained more repetitive antigen epitopes. On lymphatic delivery, both rods and star-shaped nanovaccines mainly drain into the LN follicles region while cage-shaped showed stronger paracortex retention. A surprising finding is that the star-shaped nanovaccines elicited potent humoral immunity, which is mediated by CD4+ T helper cell and follicle B cell cooperation significantly preventing tumor growth in the prophylactic study. Interestingly, cage-shaped nanovaccines preferentially presented peptide-MHC I complexes to evoke robust CD8+ T cell immunity and showed the strongest therapeutic efficacy when combined with the PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor in established tumor study. These results highlight the importance of nanoparticle shape on antigen delivery and presentation for immune response in LNs, and our findings support the notion that different design strategies are required for prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines.

Abstract
Intracellular cargo delivery, the introduction of small molecules, proteins, and nucleic acids into a specific targeted site in a biological system, is an important strategy for deciphering cell function, directing cell fate, and reprogramming cell behavior. With the advancement of nanotechnology, many researchers use nanoparticles (NPs) to break through biological barriers to achieving efficient targeted delivery in biological systems, bringing a new way to realize efficient targeted drug delivery in biological systems. With a similar size to many biomolecules, NPs possess excellent physical and chemical properties and a certain targeting ability after functional modification on the surface of NPs. Currently, intracellular cargo delivery based on NPs has emerged as an important strategy for genome editing regimens and cell therapy. Although researchers can successfully deliver NPs into biological systems, many of them are delivered very inefficiently and are not specifically targeted. Hence, the development of efficient, target-capable, and safe nanoscale drug delivery systems to deliver therapeutic substances to cells or organs is a major challenge today. In this review, on the basis of describing the research overview and classification of NPs, we focused on the current research status of intracellular cargo delivery based on NPs in biological systems, and discuss the current problems and challenges in the delivery process of NPs in biological systems.

Abstract
Designing and manufacturing safe and effective vaccines is a crucial challenge for human health worldwide. Research on adjuvant-based subunit vaccines is increasingly being explored to meet clinical needs. Nevertheless, the adaptive immune responses of subunit vaccines are still unfavorable, which may partially be attributed to the immune cascade obstacles and unsatisfactory vaccine design. An extended understanding of the crosstalk between vaccine delivery strategies and immunological mechanisms could provide scientific insight to optimize antigen delivery and improve vaccination efficacy. In this review, we summarized the advanced subunit vaccine delivery technologies from the perspective of vaccine cascade obstacles after administration. The engineered subunit vaccines with lymph node and specific cell targeting ability, antigen cross-presentation, T cell activation properties, and tailorable antigen release patterns may achieve effective immune protection with high precision, efficiency, and stability. We hope this review can provide rational design principles and inspire the exploitation of future subunit vaccines.

Abstract
Tumor vaccine is a promising cancer treatment modality, however, the convenient antigens loading in vivo and efficient delivery of vaccines to lymph nodes (LNs) still remain a formidable challenge. Herein, an in situ nanovaccine strategy targeting LNs to induce powerful antitumor immune responses by converting the primary tumor into whole-cell antigens and then delivering these antigens and nanoadjuvants simultaneously to LNs is proposed. The in situ nanovaccine is based on a hydrogel system, which loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and nanoadjuvant CpG-P-ss-M. The gel system exhibits ROS-responsive release of DOX and CpG-P-ss-M, generating abundant in situ storage of whole-cell tumor antigens. CpG-P-ss-M adsorbs tumor antigens through the positive surface charge and achieves charge reversal, forming small-sized and negatively charged tumor vaccines in situ, which are then primed to LNs. Eventually, the tumor vaccine promotes antigens uptake by dendritic cells (DCs), maturation of DCs, and proliferation of T cells. Moreover, the vaccine combined with anti-CTLA4 antibody and losartan inhibits tumor growth by 50%, significantly increasing the percentage of splenic cytotoxic T cells (CTLs), and generating tumor-specific immune responses. Overall, the treatment effectively inhibits primary tumor growth and induces tumor-specific immune response. This study provides a scalable strategy for in situ tumor vaccination.

Acta Pharm Sin B 2023; 13:3518-3534. [PMID: 37655327 PMCID: PMC10465870 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2022.03.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The rise of nanotechnology has opened new horizons for cancer immunotherapy. However, most nanovaccines fabricated with nanomaterials suffer from carrier-related concerns, including low drug loading capacity, unpredictable metabolism, and potential systemic toxicity, which bring obstacles for their clinical translation. Herein, we developed an antigen self-assembled nanovaccine, which was resulted from a simple acryloyl modification of the antigen to induce self-assembly. Furthermore, a dendritic cell targeting head mannose monomer and a mevalonate pathway inhibitor zoledronic acid (Zol) were integrated or absorbed onto the nanoparticles (denoted as MEAO-Z) to intensify the immune response. The synthesized nanovaccine with a diameter of around 70 nm showed successful lymph node transportation, high dendritic cell internalization, promoted costimulatory molecule expression, and preferable antigen cross-presentation. In virtue of the above superiorities, MEAO-Z induced remarkably higher titers of serum antibody, stronger cytotoxic T lymphocyte immune responses and IFN-γ secretion than free antigen and adjuvants. In vivo, MEAO-Z significantly suppressed EG7-OVA tumor growth and prolonged the survival time of tumor-bearing mice. These results indicated the translation promise of our self-assembled nanovaccine for immune potentiation and cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Vaccines comprising innovative adjuvants are rapidly reaching advanced translational stages, such as the authorized nanotechnology adjuvants in mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 worldwide, offering new strategies to effectively combat diseases threatening human health. Adjuvants are vital ingredients in vaccines, which can augment the degree, extensiveness, and longevity of antigen specific immune response. The advances in the modulation of physicochemical properties of nanoplatforms elevate the capability of adjuvants in initiating the innate immune system and adaptive immunity, offering immense potential for developing vaccines against hard-to-target infectious diseases and cancer. In this review, we provide an essential introduction of the basic principles of prophylactic and therapeutic vaccination, key roles of adjuvants in augmenting and shaping immunity to achieve desired outcomes and effectiveness, and the physiochemical properties and action mechanisms of clinically approved adjuvants for humans. We particularly focus on the preclinical and clinical progress of highly immunogenic emerging nanotechnology adjuvants formulated in vaccines for cancer treatment or infectious disease prevention. We deliberate on how the immune system can sense and respond to the physicochemical cues (e.g., chirality, deformability, solubility, topology, and chemical structures) of nanotechnology adjuvants incorporated in the vaccines. Finally, we propose possible strategies to accelerate the clinical implementation of nanotechnology adjuvanted vaccines, such as in-depth elucidation of nano-immuno interactions, antigen identification and optimization by the deployment of high-dimensional multiomics analysis approaches, encouraging close collaborations among scientists from different scientific disciplines and aggressive exploration of novel nanotechnologies.

Abstract
Therapeutic tumor vaccines have attracted considerable attention in the past decade; they can induce tumor regression, eradicate minimal residual disease, establish lasting immune memory and avoid non-specific and adverse side effects. However, the challenge in the field of therapeutic tumor vaccines is ensuring the delivery of immune components to the lymph nodes (LNs) to activate immune cells. The clinical response rate of traditional therapeutic tumor vaccines falls short of expectations due to inadequate lymph node delivery. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, a large number of nanoplatform-based LN-targeting nanovaccines have been exploited for optimizing tumor immunotherapies. In addition, some nanovaccines possess non-invasive visualization performance, which is benefit for understanding the kinetics of nanovaccine exposure in LNs. Herein, we present the parameters of nanoplatforms, such as size, surface modification, shape, and deformability, which affect the LN-targeting functions of nanovaccines. The recent advances in nanoplatforms with different components promoting LN-targeting are also summarized. Furthermore, emerging LNs-targeting nanoplatform-mediated imaging strategies to both improve targeting performance and enhance the quality of LN imaging are discussed. Finally, we summarize the prospects and challenges of nanoplatform-based LN-targeting and /or imaging strategies, which optimize the clinical efficacy of nanovaccines in tumor immunotherapies.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the fatal diseases in the history of humankind. In this regard, cancer immunotherapeutic strategies have revolutionized the traditional mode of cancer treatment. Silica based nano-platforms have been extensively applied in nanomedicine including cancer immunotherapy. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) and mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MON) are attractive candidates due to the ease in controlling the structural parameters as needed for the targeted immunotherapeutic applications. Especially, the MON provide an additional advantage of controlling the composition and modulating the biological functions to actively synergize with other immunotherapeutic strategies. In this review, the applications of MSN, MON, and metal-doped MSN/MON in the field of cancer immunotherapy and tumor microenvironment regulation are comprehensively summarized by highlighting the structural and compositional attributes of the silica-based nanoplatforms.

Abstract
Adjuvants play an important role in enhancing vaccine-induced immune protection. Adequate cellular uptake, robust lysosomal escape, and subsequent antigen cross-presentation are critical steps for vaccine adjuvants to effectively elicit cellular immunity. Here, a fluorinated supramolecular strategy to generate a series of peptide adjuvants by using arginine (R) and fluorinated diphenylalanine peptide (DP) is adopted. It is found that the self-assembly ability and antigen-binding affinity of these adjuvants increase with the number of fluorine (F) and can be regulated by R. By comparison, 4RDP(F5) shows the strongest binding affinity with model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) and the best performance in dendritic cells maturation and antigen's lysosomal escape, which contributes to the subsequent antigen cross-presentation. As a consequence, 4RDP(F5)-OVA nanovaccine generates a strong cellular immunity in a prophylactic OVA-expressing EG7-OVA lymphoma model, leading to long-term immune memory for resisting tumor challenge. What's more, 4RDP(F5)-OVA nanovaccine in combination with anti-programmed cell death ligand-1 (anti-PD-L1) checkpoint blockade could effectively elicit anti-tumor immune responses and inhibit tumor growth in a therapeutic EG7-OVA lymphoma model. Overall, this study demonstrates the simplicity and effectiveness of fluorinated supramolecular strategies for constructing adjuvants and might provide an attractive vaccine adjuvant candidate for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Nanovaccines have attracted intense interests for efficient antigen delivery and tumor-specific immunity. It is challenging to develop a more efficient and personalized nanovaccine to maximize all steps of the vaccination cascade by exploiting the intrinsic properties of nanoparticles. Here, biodegradable nanohybrids (MP) composed of manganese oxide nanoparticles and cationic polymers are synthesized to load a model antigen ovalbumin to form MPO nanovaccines. More interestingly, MPO could serve as autologous nanovaccines for personalized tumor treatment taking advantage of in situ released tumor-associated antigens induced by immunogenic cell death (ICD). The intrinsic properties of MP nanohybrids including morphology, size, surface charge, chemical, and immunoregulatory functions are fully exploited to enhance of all steps of the cascade and induce ICD. MP nanohybrids are designed to efficiently encapsulate antigens by cationic polymers, drain to lymph nodes by appropriate size, be internalized by dendritic cells (DCs) by rough morphology, induce DC maturation through cGAS-STING pathway, and enhance lysosomal escape and antigen cross-presentation through the "proton sponge effect". The MPO nanovaccines are found to efficiently accumulate in lymph nodes and elicit robust specific T-cell immune responses to inhibit the occurrence of ovalbumin-expressing B16-OVA melanoma. Furthermore, MPO demonstrate great potential to serve as personalized cancer vaccines through the generation of autologous antigen depot through ICD induction, activation of potent antitumor immunity, and reversal of immunosuppression. This work provides a facile strategy for the construction of personalized nanovaccines by exploiting the intrinsic properties of nanohybrids.

Abstract
The engagement with the immune system is one of the main cornerstones in the development of nanotechnologies for therapy and diagnostics. Recent advances have made possible the tuning of features like size, shape and biomolecular modifications that influence such interactions, however, the capabilities for immune modulation of nanoparticles are still not well defined and exploited. This review focuses on recent advances made in preclinical research for the application of nanoparticles to modulate immune responses, and the main features making them relevant for such applications. We review and discuss newest evidence in the field, which include in vivo experiments with an extensive physicochemical characterization as well as detailed study of the induced immune response. We emphasize the need of incorporating knowledge about immune response development and regulation in the design and application of nanoparticles, including the effect by parameters such as the administration route and the differential interactions with immune subsets.

Abstract
Vaccination is the most important way of population protection from life-threatening pathogenic infections. However, its efficiency is frequently compromised by a failure of strong antigen presentation and immune activation. Herein, we developed virus-like magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles as a universal vaccination platform (termed MagParV) for preventing pathogenic infections. This platform was constructed by integrating synthetic biology-based endoplasmic reticulum-targeting vesicles with magnetic mesoporous silica particles. This platform exhibited high antigen-loading capacity, strongly targeting the endoplasmic reticulum and promoting antigen presentation in dendritic cells. After prime-boost vaccination, the antigen-loading MagParV with AMF drastically elicited specific antibody production against corresponding antigens of fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens. A systemic infection model further revealed that the platform effectively protected the mice from severe fungal systemic infections. This study realized synthetic biology-facilitated green manufacturing of vaccines, which is promising for magnetism-activated vaccination against different kinds of pathogenic infections.

Abstract
Cancer vaccine is one of the immunotherapeutic strategies aiming to effectively deliver cancer antigens to professional antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells (DCs), macrophages, and B cells to elicit a cancer-specific immune response. Despite the advantages of the cancer vaccine that can be applied to various cancer types, the clinical approach is limited due to the non-specific or adverse immune responses, stability, and safety issues. In this study, we report an injectable nanovaccine platform based on large-sized (∼350 nm) porous silica nanoparticles (PSNs). We found that large-sized PSNs, called PS3, facilitated the formation of an antigen supply depot at the site of injection so that a single injection of PSN-based nanovaccine elicited sufficient tumor-specific cell-mediated and humoral immune response. As a result, antigen-loaded PS3 induced successful tumor regression in prophylactic and therapeutic vaccination.

Abstract
The invention and application of vaccines have made tremendous contributions to fight against pandemics for human beings. However, current vaccines still have shortcomings such as insufficient cellular immunity, the lack of cross-protection, and the risk of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). Thus, the prevention and control of pandemic viruses including Ebola Virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Influenza A viruses, Zika, and current SARS-CoV-2 are still extremely challenging. Nanoparticles with unique physical, chemical, and biological properties, hold promising potentials for the development of ideal vaccines against these viral infections. Moreover, the approval of the first nanoparticle-based mRNA vaccine BNT162b has established historic milestones that greatly inspired the clinical translation of nanovaccines. Given the safety and extensive application of subunit vaccines, and the rapid rise of mRNA vaccines, this review mainly focuses on these two vaccine strategies and provides an overview of the nanoparticle-based vaccine delivery platforms to tackle the current and next global health challenges. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.

[PMID: 36822241 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2023.02.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 41.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023]
Abstract
The successful clinical application of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) therapeutics has attracted extensive attention to immunotherapy, however, their drawbacks such as limited specificity, persistence and toxicity haven't met the high expectations on efficient cancer treatments. Therapeutic cancer vaccines which instruct the immune system to capture tumor specific antigens, generate long-term immune memory and specifically eliminate cancer cells gradually become the most promising strategies to eradicate tumor. However, the disadvantages of some existing vaccines such as weak immunogenicity and in vivo instability have restricted their development. Nanotechnology has been recently incorporated into vaccine fabrication and exhibited promising results for cancer immunotherapy. Nanoparticles promote the stability of vaccines, as well as enhance antigen recognition and presentation owing to their nanometer size which promotes internalization of antigens by phagocytic cells. The surface modification with targeting units further permits the delivery of vaccines to specific cells. Meanwhile, nanocarriers with adjuvant effect can improve the efficacy of vaccines. In addition to classic vaccines composed of antigens and adjuvants, the nanoparticle-mediated chemotherapy, radiotherapy and certain other therapeutics could induce the release of tumor antigens in situ, which therefore effectively simulate antitumor immune responses. Such vaccine-like nanomedicine not only kills primary tumors, but also prevents tumor recurrence and helps eliminate metastatic tumors. Herein, we introduce recent developments in nanoparticle-based delivery systems for antigen delivery and in situ antitumor vaccination. We will also discuss the remaining opportunities and challenges of nanovaccine in clinical translation towards cancer treatment.

Multipolymer microsphere delivery of SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Acta Biomater 2023; 158:493-509.

Abstract
Effective antigen delivery facilitates antiviral vaccine success defined by effective immune protective responses against viral exposures. To improve severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) antigen delivery, a controlled biodegradable, stable, biocompatible, and nontoxic polymeric microsphere system was developed for chemically inactivated viral proteins. SARS-CoV-2 proteins encapsulated in polymeric microspheres induced robust antiviral immunity. The viral antigen-loaded microsphere system can preclude the need for repeat administrations, highlighting its potential as an effective vaccine. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Successful SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were developed and quickly approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, each of the vaccines requires boosting as new variants arise. We posit that injectable biodegradable polymers represent a means for the sustained release of emerging viral antigens. The approach offers a means to reduce immunization frequency by predicting viral genomic variability. This strategy could lead to longer-lasting antiviral protective immunity. The current proof-of-concept multipolymer study for SARS-CoV-2 achieve these metrics.

Abstract
Particles with the capacity to bind to immunoglobulin G (IgG) can be used for the purification of IgG or to process clinical samples for diagnostic purposes. For in vitro allergy diagnosis, the high IgG levels in serum can interfere with the detection of allergen-specific IgE, the main diagnostic biomarker. Although commercially available, current materials present a low IgG capture capacity at large IgG concentrations or require complex protocols, preventing their use in the clinic. In this work, mesoporous silica nanoparticles are prepared with different pore sizes, to which IgG-binding protein G' is grafted. It is found that for one particular optimal pore size, the IgG capture capacity of the material is greatly enhanced. The capacity of this material to efficiently capture human IgG in a selective way (compared to IgE) is demonstrated in both solutions of known IgG concentrations as well as in complex samples, like serum, from healthy controls and allergic patients using a simple and fast incubation protocol. Interestingly, IgG removal using the best-performing material enhances in vitro IgE detection in sera from patients allergic to amoxicillin. These results highlight the great translation potential of this strategy to the clinic in the context of in vitro allergy diagnosis.

Abstract
As an interesting cancer immunotherapy approach, cancer vaccines have been developed to deliver tumor antigens and adjuvants to antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Although the safety and easy production shifted the vaccine designing platforms toward the subunit vaccines, their efficacy is limited due to inefficient vaccine delivery. Nanotechnology-based vaccines, called nanovaccines, address the delivery limitations through co-delivery of antigens and adjuvants into lymphoid organs and APCs and their intracellular release, leading to cross-presentation of antigens and induction of potent anti-tumor immune responses. Although the nanovaccines, either as encapsulating agents or biomimetic nanoparticles, exert the desired anti-tumor activities, there is evidence that the mixing formulation to form nanocomplexes between antigens and adjuvants based on the electrostatic interactions provokes high levels of immune responses owing to Ags' availability and faster release. Here, we summarized the various platforms for developing cancer vaccines and the advantages of using delivery systems. The cancer nanovaccines, including nanoparticle-based and biomimetic-based nanovaccines, are discussed in detail. Finally, we focused on the nanocomplexes formation between antigens and adjuvants as promising cancer nanovaccine platforms.

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles with chiral pattern topological structure function as “antiskid tires” on the intestinal mucosa to facilitate oral drugs delivery. Asian J Pharm Sci 2023; 18:100795. [PMID: 37008734 PMCID: PMC10060614 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajps.2023.100795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The weak adhesion between nanocarriers and the intestinal mucosa was one of the main reasons caused the failure in oral delivery. Inspired by the "antiskid tires" with complex chiral patterns, mesoporous silica nanoparticles AT-R@CMSN exhibiting geometrical chiral structure were designed to improve the surface/interface roughness in nanoscale, and employed as the hosting system for insoluble drugs nimesulide (NMS) and ibuprofen (IBU). Once performing the delivery tasks, AT-R@CMSN with rigid skeleton protected the loaded drug and reduced the irritation of drug on gastrointestinal tract (GIT), while their porous structure deprived drug crystal and improved drug release. More importantly, AT-R@CMSN functioned as "antiskid tire" to produce higher friction on intestinal mucosa and substantively influenced multiple biological processes, including "contact", "adhesion", "retention", "permeation" and "uptake", compared to the achiral S@MSN, thereby improving the oral adsorption effectiveness of such drug delivery systems. By engineering AT-R@CMSN to overcome the stability, solubility and permeability bottlenecks of drugs, orally administered NMS or IBU loaded AT-R@CMSN could achieve higher relative bioavailability (705.95% and 444.42%, respectively) and stronger anti-inflammation effect. In addition, AT-R@CMSN displayed favorable biocompatibility and biodegradability. Undoubtedly, the present finding helped to understand the oral adsorption process of nanocarriers, and provided novel insights into the rational design of nanocarriers.
