  • A reduced polydopamine nanoparticle-coupled sprayable PEG hydrogel adhesive with anti-infection activity for rapid wound sealing
    A reduced polydopamine nanoparticle-coupled sprayable PEG hydrogel adhesive with anti-infection activity for rapid wound sealing March 13,2024.
    Biomater Sci. 2020 Dec 15;8(24):6946-6956.    doi: 10.1039/d0bm01213k. A reduced polydopamine nanoparticle-coupled sprayable PEG hydrogel adhesive with anti-infection activity for rapid wound sealing Junjie Sun 1, Haoqi Tan 1, Huan Liu 1, Dawei Jin 2, Meng Yin 2, Haodong Lin 3, Xue Qu 1, Changsheng Liu 1 Abstract There is a growing demand to develop sprayable hydrogel adhesives with rapid-forming and antibacterial abilities to instantly seal open wounds and combat pathogen infection.    Herein, we propose to design a polydopamine nanoparticle (PDA NP) coupled PEG hydrogel that can quickly solidify via an amidation reaction after spraying as well as tightly binding PDA NPs to deliver reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induce a photothermal effect for bactericidal activity, and provide a hydrophilic surface for antifouling activity.    The molecular structure of the 4-arm-PEG-NHS precursor was regulated to increase its reactivity with 4-arm-PEG-NH2, which thus shortened the gelation time of the PEG adhesive to 1 s to allow a fast solidification after being sprayed.    The PEG-NHS precursor also provided covalent binding with tissue and PDA NPs.    The reduced PDA NPs have redox activity to convey electrons to oxygen to generate ROS (H2O2), thus endowing the hydrogel with ROS dependent antibacterial ability.    Moreover, NIR irradiation can accelerate the ROS release because of the photothermal effect of PDA NPs.    In vitro tests demonstrated that H2O2 and the NIR-photothermal effect synergistically induced a fast bacterial killing, and an in vivo anti-infection test also proved the effectiveness of PEG-PDA.    The sprayable PEG-PDA hydrogel adhesive, with rapid-forming performance and a dual bactericidal mechanism, may be promising for sealing large-scale and acute wound sites or invisible bleeding sites, and protect them from pathogen infection.

  • Langmuir-Blodgett Films of C60-end-capped Poly(ethylene oxide)
    Langmuir-Blodgett Films of C60-end-capped Poly(ethylene oxide) March 5,2024.
    March 2019 Chinese Journal of Polymer Science (English Edition) 37(6) DOI:10.1007/s10118-019-2234-z Langmuir-Blodgett Films of C60-end-capped Poly(ethylene oxide) Abstract Buckyballs (C60) are linked to one end and two ends of linear poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) chains through highly efficient click chemistry to obtain giant amphiphilic molecules C60-PEO and C60-PEO-C60, respectively. C60-PEO and C60-PEO-C60 molecules are spread on water surface and then transferred to solid substrates with Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film deposition approach. C60-PEO and C60-PEO-C60 exhibit fractal growth behavior on the solid substrate under certain conditions owing to the crystallization ability of PEO segment. PEO chain length and the end capped mode both affect the fractal growth pattern.

  • Micelles with a Loose Core Self-Assembled from Coil-g-Rod Graft Copolymers Displaying High Drug Loading Capacity
    Micelles with a Loose Core Self-Assembled from Coil-g-Rod Graft Copolymers Displaying High Drug Loading Capacity February 26,2024.
    First published: 27 May 2020 https://doi.org/10.1002/macp.202000121 Micelles with a Loose Core Self-Assembled from Coil-g-Rod Graft Copolymers Displaying High Drug Loading Capacity Qijing Huang, Zhanwen Xu, Chunhua Cai, Jiaping Lin Abstract High drug loading capacity is one of the critical demands of micellar drug-delivery vehicles;  however, it is a challenging work.  Herein, it is demonstrated that micelles self-assembled from poly(ethylene glycol)-graft-poly(γ-benzyl-l-glutamate) (PEG-g-PBLG) coil-g-rod graft copolymers display high drug-loading capacity for doxorubicin (DOX) model drugs.  As revealed by a combination study of experiments and dissipative particle dynamics simulations, the high drug-loading capacity of the micelles is related to the loose core structure of the micelles.  In these micelles, the hydrophobic PBLG grafts randomly disperse in the micelle core due to their rigid nature and the coil-g-rod topology of the graft copolymers, which results in a loose core of the micelles.  The structure of the graft copolymer, including the length of rod grafts, the length of coil backbone, and the grafting ratio of the rod grafts affecting the arrangement of the rod grafts in the micelle core has influence on the drug-loading capacity of the micelles.  Besides, the strong π–π stacking interaction between graft copolymers and DOX also plays an important part in achieving high drug-loading capacity.  In vitro studies reveal that these drug-loaded micelles show good biocompatibility, and the DOX can be gradually released from the micelles.

  • SS-mPEG chemical modification of recombinant phospholipase C for enhanced thermal stability and catalytic efficiency
    SS-mPEG chemical modification of recombinant phospholipase C for enhanced thermal stability and catalytic efficiency February 21,2024.
    Int J Biol Macromol. 2018 May:111:1032-1039.  doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2018.01.134.  Epub 2018 Jan 31. SS-mPEG chemical modification of recombinant phospholipase C for enhanced thermal stability and catalytic efficiency Xian Fang 1, Xueting Wang 1, Guiling Li 2, Jun Zeng 2, Jian Li 2, Jingwen Liu 3 Abstract PEGylation is one of the most promising and extensively studied strategies for improving the properties of proteins as well as enzymic physical and thermal stability.  Phospholipase C, hydrolyzing the phospholipids offers tremendous applications in diverse fields.  However, the poor thermal stability and higher cost of production have restricted its industrial application.  This study focused on improving the stabilization of recombinant PLC by chemical modification with methoxypolyethylene glycol-Succinimidyl Succinate (SS-mPEG, MW 5000).  PLC gene from isolate Bacillus cereus HSL3 was fused with SUMO, a novel small ubiquitin-related modifier expression vector and over expressed in Escherichia coli.  The soluble fraction of SUMO-PLC reached 80% of the total recombinant protein.  The enzyme exhibited maximum catalytic activity at 80 °C and was relatively thermostable at 40-70 °C.  It showed extensive substrate specificity pattern and marked activity toward phosphatidylcholine, which made it a typical non-specific PLC for industrial purpose.  SS-mPEG-PLC complex exhibited an enhanced thermal stability at 70-80 °C and the catalytic efficiency (Kcat/Km) had increased by 3.03 folds compared with free PLC.  CD spectrum of SS-mPEG-PLC indicated a possible enzyme aggregation after chemical modification, which contributed to the higher thermostability of SS-mPEG-PLC.  The increase of antiparallel β sheets in secondary structure also made it more stable than parallel β sheets.  The presence of SS-mPEG chains on the enzyme molecule surface somewhat changed the binding rate of the substrates, leading to a significant improvement in catalytic efficiency.  This study provided an insight into the addition of SS-mPEG for enhancing the industrial applications of phospholipase C at higher temperature. Keywords: Enzymatic properties;  Phospholipase C;  Recombinant expression;  SS-mPEG modification;  Thermal stability and catalytic efficiency.

  • Codoping Enhanced Radioluminescence of Nanoscintillators for X-ray-Activated Synergistic Cancer Therapy and Prognosis Using Metabolomics
    Codoping Enhanced Radioluminescence of Nanoscintillators for X-ray-Activated Synergistic Cancer Therapy and Prognosis Using Metabolomics February 18,2024.
    ACS Nano.  2019 Sep 24;13(9):10419-10433.   doi: 10.1021/acsnano.9b04213.   Epub 2019 Aug 21. Codoping Enhanced Radioluminescence of Nanoscintillators for X-ray-Activated Synergistic Cancer Therapy and Prognosis Using Metabolomics Farooq Ahmad 1, Xiaoyan Wang 2, Zhao Jiang 1, Xujiang Yu 1, Xinyi Liu 1, Rihua Mao 3, Xiaoyuan Chen 4, Wanwan Li 1 Abstract Radio- and photodynamic therapies are the first line of cancer treatments but suffer from poor light penetration and less radiation accumulation in soft tissues with high radiation toxicity.   Therefore, a multifunctional nanoplatform with diagnosis-assisted synergistic radio- and photodynamic therapy and tools facilitating early prognosis are urgently needed to fight the war against cancer.   Further, integrating cancer therapy with untargeted metabolomic analysis would collectively offer clinical pertinence through facilitating early diagnosis and prognosis.   Here, we enriched scintillation of CeF3 nanoparticles (NPs) through codoping Tb3+ and Gd3+ (CeF3:Gd3+,Tb3+) for viable clinical approach in the treatment of deep-seated tumors.   The codoped CeF3:Gd3+,Tb3+ scintillating theranostic NPs were then coated with mesoporous silica, followed by loading with rose bengal (CGTS-RB) for later computed tomography (CT)- and magnetic resonance image (MRI)-guided X-ray stimulated synergistic radio- and photodynamic therapy (RT+XPDT) using low-dose, one-time X-ray irradiation.   The results corroborated an efficient tumor regression with synergistic RT+XPDT relative to single RT. Global untargeted metabolome shifts highlighted the mechanism behind this efficient tumor regression using RT, and synergistic RT+XPDT treatment is due to the starvation of nonessential amino acids involved in protein and DNA synthesis and energy regulation pathways necessary for growth and progression.   Our study also concluded that tumor and serum metabolites shift during disease progression and regression and serve as robust biomarkers for early assessment of disease state and prognosis.   From our results, we propose that codoping is an effective and extendable technique to other materials for gaining high optical yield and multifunctionality and for use in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.   Critically, the integration of multifunctional theranostic nanomedicines with metabolomics has excellent potential for the discovery of early metabolic biomarkers to aid in better clinical disease diagnosis and prognosis.

  • Novel free-paclitaxel-loaded redox-responsive nanoparticles based on a disulfide-linked poly(ethylene glycol)-drug conjugate for intracellular drug delivery: synthesis, characterization, and antitumor
    Novel free-paclitaxel-loaded redox-responsive nanoparticles based on a disulfide-linked poly(ethylene glycol)-drug conjugate for intracellular drug delivery: synthesis, characterization, and antitumor February 4,2024.
    Mol Pharm. 2014 Oct 6;11(10):3656-70.  doi: 10.1021/mp500399j.  Epub 2014 Sep 24. Novel free-paclitaxel-loaded redox-responsive nanoparticles based on a disulfide-linked poly(ethylene glycol)-drug conjugate for intracellular drug delivery: synthesis, characterization, and antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo Xingxing Chuan 1, Qin Song, Jialiang Lin, Xianhui Chen, Hua Zhang, Wenbing Dai, Bing He, Xueqing Wang, Qiang Zhang Abstract To address the obstacles facing cancer chemotherapeutics, including toxicity, side effects, water insolubility, and lack of tumor selectivity, a novel stimuli-responsive drug-delivery system was developed based on paclitaxel-loaded poly(ethylene glycol)-disulfide-paclitaxel conjugate nanoparticles (PEG-SS-PTX/PTX NPs).  The formulation emphasizes several benefits, including polymer-drug conjugates/prodrugs, self-assembled NPs, high drug content, redox responsiveness, and programmed drug release.  The PTX-loaded, self-assembled NPs, with a uniform size of 103 nm, characterized by DLS, TEM, XRD, DSC, and (1)H NMR, exhibited excellent drug-loading capacity (15.7%) and entrapment efficiency (93.3%).  PEG-SS-PTX/PTX NPs were relatively stable under normal conditions but disassembled quickly under reductive conditions, as indicated by their triggered-aggregation phenomena and drug-release profile in the presence of dithiothreitol (DTT), a reducing agent.  Additionally, by taking advantage of the difference in the drug-release rates between physically loaded and chemically conjugated drugs, a programmed drug-release phenomenon was observed, which was attributed to a higher concentration and longer action time of the drugs.  The influence of PEG-SS-PTX/PTX NPs on in vitro cytotoxicity, cell cycle progression, and cellular apoptosis was determined in the MCF-7 cell line, and the NPs demonstrated a superior anti-proliferative activity associated with PTX-induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase and apoptosis compared to their nonresponsive counterparts.  Moreover, the redox-responsive NPs were more efficacious than both free PTX and the non-redox-responsive formulation at equivalent doses of PTX in a breast cancer xenograft mouse model.  This redox-responsive PTX drug delivery system is promising and can be explored for use in effective intracellular drug delivery.

  • Optimization of Surface Coating on Small Pd Nanosheets for in Vivo near-Infrared Photothermal Therapy of Tumor
    Optimization of Surface Coating on Small Pd Nanosheets for in Vivo near-Infrared Photothermal Therapy of Tumor February 1,2024.
    ACS Appl Mater Interfaces. 2015 Jul 8;7(26):14369-75.    doi: 10.1021/acsami.5b03106.    Epub 2015 Jun 24. Optimization of Surface Coating on Small Pd Nanosheets for in Vivo near-Infrared Photothermal Therapy of Tumor Saige Shi 1 2, Yizhuan Huang 1, Xiaolan Chen 1, Jian Weng 2, Nanfeng Zheng 1 Abstract Palladium nanosheets with strong near-infrared absorption have been recently demonstrated as promising photothermal agents for photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancers.    However, systematic assessments of their potential risks and impacts to biological systems have not been fully explored yet.    In this work, we carefully investigate how surface coatings affect the in vivo behaviors of small Pd nanosheets (Pd NSs).    Several biocompatible molecules such as carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), PEG-NH2, PEG-SH, and dihydrolipoic acid-zwitterion (DHLA-ZW) were used to coat Pd NSs.    The blood circulation half-lives, biodistribution, potential toxicity, clearance, and photothermal effect of different surface-coated Pd NSs in mice after intravenous injection were compared.    PEG-SH-coated Pd NSs (Pd-HS-PEG) were found to have ultralong blood circulation half-life and show high uptake in the tumor.    We then carry out the in vivo photothermal therapeutic studies on the Pd-HS-PEG conjugate and revealed its outstanding efficacy in in vivo photothermal therapy of cancers.    Our results highlight the importance of surface coatings to the in vivo behaviors of nanomaterials and can provide guidelines to the future design of Pd NSs bioconjugates for other in vivo applications.
