Project description:The continuous imbalance of the diabetic wound microenvironment is an important cause of chronic nonhealing, which manifests as a vicious cycle between excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and abnormal healing. Regulating the microenvironment by suppressing wound inflammation, oxidative stress, and bacterial infection is a key challenge in treating diabetic wounds. In this study, ROS-responsive hydrogels are developed composed of silk fibroin methacrylated (SFMA), modified collagen type III (rCol3MA), and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). The newly designed hydrogel system demonstrated stable physicochemical properties and excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, the release of antimicrobial peptide (AMP) and puerarin (PUE) demonstrated remarkable efficacy in eradicating bacteria, regulating inflammatory responses, and modulating vascular functions. This multifunctional hydrogel is a simple and efficient approach for the treatment of chronic diabetic infected wounds and holds tremendous potential for future clinical applications.

Project description:Metal nanoparticles are widely used in catalysis. Loading metal nanoparticles into polymer brushes has aroused wide attention, but regulation of catalytic performance still needs to be improved. The novel diblock polymer brushes, polystyrene@sodium polystyrene sulfonate-b-poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PSV@PSS-b-PNIPA) and PSV@PNIPA-b-PSS with reversed block sequence, were prepared by surface initiated photoiniferter-mediated polymerization (SI-PIMP) and used as nanoreactors to load silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The block sequence caused the difference of conformation and further affected the catalytic performance. PSV@PNIPA-b-PSS@Ag was found to be able to control the amount of AgNPs exposed to external reactant of 4-nitrophenol at different temperatures to achieve regulation of the reaction rate due to the hydrogen bonds and further physical crosslinking between PNIPA and PSS.

Project description:Gold-coated liposomes are maneuvered using an optical trap to achieve precise delivery of encapsulated molecular cargo. Movement and payload release from these plasmon resonant nanocapsules are independently controlled using a pulsed trapping beam. This technology enables in vitro delivery of a payload to a selected cell and may be applied to the interrogation of individual cells within their biological microenvironment.

Project description:Stimuli-responsive nanoparticles (SRNPs) offer the potential of enhancing the therapeutic efficacy and minimizing the side-effects of chemotherapeutics by controllably releasing the encapsulated drug at the target site. Currently controlled drug release through external activation remains a major challenge during the delivery of therapeutic agents. Here we report a lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticle system containing magnetic beads for stimuli-responsive drug release using a remote radio frequency (RF) magnetic field. These hybrid nanoparticles show long-term stability in terms of particle size and polydispersity index in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Controllable loading of camptothecin (CPT) and Fe(3)O(4) in the hybrid nanoparticles was demonstrated. RF-controlled drug release from these nanoparticles was observed. In addition, cellular uptake of the SRNPs into MT2 mouse breast cancer cells was examined. Using CPT as a model anticancer drug the nanoparticles showed a significant reduction in MT2 mouse breast cancer cell growth in vitro in the presence of a remote RF field. The ease of preparation, stability, and controllable drug release are the strengths of the platform and provide the opportunity to improve cancer chemotherapy.

Project description:Nanoparticles could conceal bioactive proteins during therapeutic delivery, avoiding side effects. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) coated with a temperature-sensitive polymer were tested for protein release. We show that coated SPIONs can entrap test proteins and release them in a temperature-controlled manner in a biological system. Magnetically heating SPIONs triggered protein release at bulk solution temperatures below the polymer transition. The entrapped growth factor Wnt3a was inactive until magnetically triggered release, upon which it could increase mesenchymal stem cell proliferation. Once the polymer transition will be chemically adjusted above body temperature, this system could be used for targeted cell stimulation in model animals and humans.

Project description:Most drug carriers used in pulmonary administration are microparticles with diameters over 1 µm. Only a few examples involving nanoparticles have been reported because such small particles are readily exhaled. Consequently, the development of microparticles capable of encapsulating nanoparticles and a wide range of compounds for pulmonary drug-delivery applications is an important objective. In this study, we investigated the development of polysaccharide microparticles containing nanoparticles for the temperature-responsive and two-step release of inclusions. The prepared microparticles containing nanoparticles can release two differently charged compounds in a stepwise manner. The particles have two different drug release pathways: one is the release of nanoparticle inclusions from the nanoparticles and the other is the release of microparticle inclusions during microparticle collapse. The nanoparticles can be efficiently delivered deep into the lungs and a wide range of compounds are released in a charge-independent manner, owing to the suitable roughness of the microparticle surface. These polysaccharide microparticles containing nanoparticles are expected to be used as temperature-responsive drug carriers, not only for pulmonary administration but also for various administration routes, including transpulmonary, intramuscular, and transdermal routes, that can release multiple drugs in a controlled manner.

Project description:We report that multifunctional polymer nanoparticles approximately the size of a large protein can be "purified", on the basis of peptide affinity just as antibodies, using an affinity chromatography strategy. The selection process takes advantage of the thermoresponsiveness of the nanoparticles allowing "catch and release" of the target peptide by adjusting the temperature. Purified particles show much stronger affinity (K(dapp) ≈ nM) and a narrower affinity distribution than the average of particles before purification (K(dapp) > μM) at room temperature but can release the peptide just by changing the temperature. We anticipate this affinity selection will be general and become an integral step for the preparation of "plastic antibodies" with near-homogeneous and tailored affinity for target biomacromolecules.

Project description:Smart contact lenses have recently gained traction due to their functionalization as noninvasive diagnostic and therapeutic wearables that can address several ocular diseases. Herein, multifunctional contact lenses exhibiting UV-transition and temperature-responsive capabilities were developed utilizing chromogenic materials that were integrated simultaneously into poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) contact lenses. The functionalities of the contact lenses were optically evaluated in both their activated and non-activated states. Transition contact lenses offered excellent UV and blue light blocking capabilities (~45%) at their inactive states. When activated via UV exposure, the transparent lenses darkened instantaneously and absorbed portions of the visible light spectrum. The absorption intensity and transient discoloration of the transition lenses relied primarily on the utilized photochromic material. Likewise, the temperature-responsive contact lenses exhibited distinct colorimetric variations in response to temperature changes within the physiological range (33-38 °C). The maximum sensitivity of the thermochromic lens was 8% transmitted light per Celsius degree shift. Physiochemical and morphological analysis indicated the adequacy of the contact lenses. Hence, the multifunctional contact lenses can be deployed as smart wearables to manage ophthalmic deficiencies that are deterred by UV radiations and variations in ocular surface temperature.

Project description:An amphipathic PAA-POSS@DOX drug delivery system that responds sensitively to pH changes in the cancer microenvironment has been developed using a nanoparticle based on inorganic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS). POSS was introduced to the carboxylic acid group of polyacrylic acid to which doxorubicin anticancer drug was loaded to prepare 480 ± 192 nm self-assembled nanoparticles. PAA-POSS had a high loading efficiency of over 75% and doxorubicin was quickly released to the target area responding sensitively to weakly acidic conditions. The possibility of employing PAA-POSS as a targeted drug delivery system has been confirmed by observing the death of cells of the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer line.
