On-chip fabrication of calcium carbonate nanoparticles loaded with various compounds using microfluidic approach. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 161:213904. [PMID: 38805763 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
Engineered calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles are extensively used as drug delivery systems due to their availability, biological compatibility, biodegradability, and cost-effective production. The synthesis procedure of CaCO3 particles, however, suffers from poor reproducibility. Furthermore, reducing the size of CaCO3 particles to <100 nm requires the use of additives in the reaction, which increases the total reaction time. Here we propose on-chip synthesis and loading of nanoscaled CaCO3 particles using microfluidics. After the development and fabrication of a microfluidic device, we optimized the synthesis of CaCO3 NPs by varying different parameters such as flow rates in the microfluidic channels, concentration of reagents, and the reaction time. To prove the versatility of the used synthesis route, we performed single and double loading of CaCO3 NPs with various compounds (Doxorubicin, Cy5 or FITC conjugated with BSA, and DNA) using the same microfluidic device. Further, the on-chip loaded CaCO3 NPs were used as carriers to transfer compounds to model cells. We have developed a microfluidic synthesis method that opens up a new pathway for easy on-chip fabrication of functional nanoparticles for clinical use.

Abstract
Control over the agglomeration state of manufactured particle systems for drug and oligonucleotide intracellular delivery is paramount to ensure reproducible and scalable therapeutic efficacy. Ultrasonication is a well-established mechanism for the deagglomeration of bulk powders in dispersion. Its use in manufacturing requires strict control of the uniformity and reproducibility of the cavitation field within the sample volume to minimise within-batch and batch-to-batch variability. In this work, we demonstrate the use of a reference cavitating vessel which provides stable and reproducible cavitation fields over litre-scale volumes to assist the controlled deagglomeration of a novel non-viral particle-based plasmid delivery system. The system is the Nuvec delivery platform, comprising polyethylenimine-coated spiky silica particles with diameters of ∼ 200 nm. We evaluated the use of controlled cavitation at different input powers and stages of preparation, for example before and after plasmid loading. Plasmid loading was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and gel electrophoresis. The latter was also used to assess plasmid integrity and the ability of the particles to protect plasmid from potential degradation caused by the deagglomeration process. We show the utility of laser diffraction and differential centrifugal sedimentation in quantifying the efficacy of product de-agglomeration in the microscale and nanoscale size range respectively. Transmission electron microscopy was used to assess potential damages to the silica particle structure due to the sonication process.

Abstract
A methodology to quantify the efficiency of the protein loading and in-vitro delivery for biodegradable capsules with different architectures based on polyelectrolytes (dextran sulfate, poly-L-arginine and polyethylenimine) and SiO2 was developed. The capsules were loaded with model proteins such as ovalbumin and green fluorescent protein (GFP), and the protein release profile inside cells (either macrophages or HeLa cells) after endocytosis was analysed. Both, protein loading and release kinetics were evaluated by analysing confocal laser scanning microscopy images using MatLab and CellProfiler software. Our results indicate that silica capsules showed the most efficient release of proteins as cargo molecules within 48 h, as compared to their polymeric counterparts. This developed method for the analysis of the intracellular cargo release kinetics from carrier structures could be used in the future for a better control of drug release profiles.

Abstract
Halide perovskite nanomaterials are widely used in optoelectronics and photonics due to their outstanding luminescent properties, whereas their strong multiphoton absorption makes them prospective for bioimaging. Nonetheless, instability of perovskites in aqueous solutions is an important limitation that prevents their application in biology and medicine. Here, we demonstrate fluorescence and upconversion imaging in living cells by employing CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) that show an improved water-resistance (at least for 24 h) after their coating as individual particles with various silica-based shells. The obtained phTEOS-TMOS@CsPbBr3 NCs possess high quality, which we confirm with high-resolution transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier-transform infrared and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopies, as well as with fluorescence optical microscopy. The developed platform can make the halide perovskite NCs suitable for various bioimaging applications.

Abstract
Real-time temperature monitoring within biological objects is a key fundamental issue for understanding the heating process and performing remote-controlled release of bioactive compounds upon laser irradiation. The lack of accurate thermal control significantly limits the translation of optical laser techniques into nanomedicine. Here, we design and develop hybrid (complex) carriers based on multilayered capsules combined with nanodiamonds (NV centers) as nanothermometers and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as nanoheaters to estimate an effective laser-induced temperature rise required for capsule rupture and further release of cargo molecules outside and inside cancerous (B16-F10) cells. We integrate both elements (NV centers and Au NPs) in the capsule structure using two strategies: (i) loading inside the capsule's cavity (CORE) and incorporating them inside the capsule's wall (WALL). Theoretically and experimentally, we show the highest and lowest heat release from capsule samples (CORE or WALL) under laser irradiation depending on the Au NP arrangement within the capsule. Applying NV centers, we measure the local temperature of capsule rupture inside and outside the cells, which is determined to be 128 ± 1.12 °C. Finally, the developed hybrid containers can be used to perform the photoinduced release of cargo molecules with simultaneous real-time temperature monitoring inside the cells.

Abstract
Nowadays, the nanoparticle-based delivery approach is becoming more and more attractive in gene therapy due to its low toxicity and immunogenicity, sufficient packaging capacity, targeting, and straightforward, low-cost, large-scale good manufacturing practice (GMP) production. A number of research works focusing on multilayer structures have explored different factors and parameters that can affect the delivery efficiency of pDNA. However, there are no systematic studies on the performance of these structures for enhanced gene delivery regarding the gene loading methods, the use of additional organic components and cell/particle incubation conditions. Here, we conducted a detailed analysis of different parameters such as (i) strategy for loading pDNA into carriers, (ii) incorporating both pDNA and organic additives within one carrier and (iii) variation of cell/particle incubation conditions, to evaluate their influence on the efficiency of pDNA delivery with multilayer structures consisting of inorganic cores and polymer layers. Our results reveal that an appropriate combination of all these parameters leads to the development of optimized protocols for high transfection efficiency, compared to the non-optimized process (> 70% vs. < 7%), and shows a good safety profile. In conclusion, we provide the proof-of-principle that these multilayer structures with the developed parameters are a promising non-viral platform for an efficient delivery of nucleic acids.
