[PMID: 38733645 DOI: 10.1016/j.bpc.2024.107238] [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: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals (2-10 nm) with unique optical and electronic properties due to quantum confinement effects. They offer high photostability, narrow emission spectra, broad absorption spectrum, and high quantum yields, making them versatile in various applications. Due to their highly reactive surfaces, QDs can conjugate with biomolecules while being used, produced, or unintentionally released into the environment. This systematic review delves into intricate relationship between QDs and proteins, examining their interactions that influence their physicochemical properties, enzymatic activity, ligand binding affinity, and stability. The research utilized electronic databases like PubMed, WOS, and Proquest, along with manual reviews from 2013 to 2023 using relevant keywords, to identify suitable literature. After screening titles and abstracts, only articles meeting inclusion criteria were selected for full text readings. This systematic review of 395 articles identifies 125 articles meeting the inclusion criteria, categorized into five overarching themes, encompassing various mechanisms of QDs and proteins interactions, including adsorption to covalent binding, contingent on physicochemical properties of QDs. Through a meticulous analysis of existing literature, it unravels intricate nature of interaction, significant influence on nanomaterials and biological entities, and potential for synergistic applications harnessing both specific and nonspecific interactions across various fields.

Abstract
Modification of gold substrates with a stable, uniform and ultrathin layer of biocompatible materials is of tremendous interest for the development of bio-devices. We present the fabrication of hybrid systems consisting of triangular prism gold nanoparticles (Au@NTPs) covalently covered with tripod-shaped oligo(p-phenylenes) featuring trifluoromethyl groups. Their synthesis is accomplished using a biphenyl boronic ester as the key compound. Au@NTPs were prepared through a seedless procedure using 3-butenoic acid and benzyldimethyl ammonium chloride, and modified with aminothiol groups. Coverage of this amine-modified gold substrate with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of tripod-shaped molecules is carried out in ethanolic solution. The hybrid system avoids up to 70 % of protein corona formation, and allows unspecific attachment for bulky adsorbates, providing an optimal biosensing platform. Chemical composition and morphology are analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM).

Abstract
Fluorinated nanoparticles have increasing applications, but they are still challenging to prepare, especially in the case of water-soluble fluorinated nanoparticles. Herein, a fluorine labeling strategy is presented that is based on the conjugation of custom-made small fluorinated building blocks, obtained by simple synthetic transformations, with carboxylated gold nanoparticles through a convenient phase-transfer process. The synthesis of four fluorinated building blocks with different chemical shifts in 19F nuclear magnetic resonance and varied functionalities is reported, along with their conjugation onto nanoparticles. Fluorinated nanoparticles of small core size obtained by this conjugation methodology and by direct synthesis presented high transverse relaxation times (T2) ranging from 518 to 1030 ms, and a large number of equivalent fluorine atoms per nanoparticle (340-1260 fluorine atoms), which made them potential candidates for 19F magnetic resonance related applications. Finally, nontargeted fluorinated nanoparticles were probed by performing in vivo 19F magnetic resonance spectroscopy (19F MRS) in mice. Nanoparticles were detected at both 1 and 2 h after being injected. 19F MRI images were also acquired after either intravenous or subcutaneous injection. Their fate was studied by analyzing the gold content in tissues by ICP-MS. Thus, the present work provides a general fluorination strategy for nanoparticles and shows the potential use of small fluorinated nanoparticles in magnetic-resonance-related applications.

Abstract
Biofouling is a major issue in the field of nanomedicine and consists of the spontaneous and unwanted adsorption of biomolecules on engineered surfaces. In a biological context and referring to nanoparticles (NPs) acting as nanomedicines, the adsorption of biomolecules found in blood (mostly proteins) is known as protein corona. On the one hand, the protein corona, as it covers the NPs' surface, can be considered the biological identity of engineered NPs, because the corona is what cells will "see" instead of the underlying NPs. As such, the protein corona will influence the fate, integrity, and performance of NPs in vivo. On the other hand, the physicochemical properties of the engineered NPs, such as their size, shape, charge, or hydrophobicity, will influence the identity of the proteins attracted to their surface. In this context, the design of coatings for NPs and surfaces that avoid biofouling is an active field of research. The gold standard in the field is the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules, although zwitterions have also proved to be efficient in preventing protein adhesion and fluorinated molecules are emerging as coatings with interesting properties. Hence, in this review, we will focus on recent examples of anti-biofouling coatings in three main areas, that is, PEGylated, zwitterionic, and fluorinated coatings.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanoparticles, such as quantum dots, hold great potential for biomedical applications, mainly sensing and bioimaging. However, the inefficient cell uptake of some nanoparticles hampers their application in clinical practice. Here, the effect of the modification of the quantum dot surface with fluorinated ligands to increase their surface activity and, thus, enhance their cellular uptake was explored.
