ABSTRACT: The usefulness of nanoparticles (NPs) in the diagnostic and/or therapeutic sector is derived from their aptitude for navigating intra- and extracellular barriers successfully and to be spatiotemporally targeted. In this context, the optimization of NP delivery platforms is technologically related to the exploitation of the mechanisms involved in the NP-cell interaction. This review provides a detailed overview of the available technologies focusing on cell-NP interaction/detection by describing their applications in the fields of cancer and regenerative medicine. Specifically, a literature survey has been performed to analyze the key nanocarrier-impacting elements, such as NP typology and functionalization, the ability to tune cell interaction mechanisms under in vitro and in vivo conditions by framing, and at the same time, the imaging devices supporting NP delivery assessment, and consideration of their specificity and sensitivity. Although the large amount of literature information on the designs and applications of cell membrane-coated NPs has reached the extent at which it could be considered a mature branch of nanomedicine ready to be translated to the clinic, the technology applied to the biomimetic functionalization strategy of the design of NPs for directing cell labelling and intracellular retention appears less advanced. These approaches, if properly scaled up, will present diverse biomedical applications and make a positive impact on human health.

Project description:Dynamic RNA nanotechnology with small conditional RNAs (scRNAs) offers a promising conceptual approach to introducing synthetic regulatory links into endogenous biological circuits. Here, we use human cell lysate containing functional Dicer and RNases as a testbed for engineering scRNAs for conditional RNA interference (RNAi). scRNAs perform signal transduction via conditional shape change: detection of a subsequence of mRNA input X triggers formation of a Dicer substrate that is processed to yield small interfering RNA (siRNA) output anti-Y targeting independent mRNA Y for destruction. Automated sequence design is performed using the reaction pathway designer within NUPACK to encode this conditional hybridization cascade into the scRNA sequence subject to the sequence constraints imposed by X and Y. Because it is difficult for secondary structure models to predict which subsequences of mRNA input X will be accessible for detection, here we develop the RNAhyb method to experimentally determine accessible windows within the mRNA that are provided to the designer as sequence constraints. We demonstrate the programmability of scRNA regulators by engineering scRNAs for transducing in both directions between two full-length mRNAs X and Y, corresponding to either the forward molecular logic "if X then not Y" (X [Formula: see text] Y) or the reverse molecular logic "if Y then not X" (Y [Formula: see text] X). In human cell lysate, we observe a strong OFF/ON conditional response with low crosstalk, corresponding to a ≈20-fold increase in production of the siRNA output in response to the cognate versus noncognate full-length mRNA input. 2'OMe-RNA chemical modifications protect signal transduction reactants and intermediates against RNase degradation while enabling Dicer processing of signal transduction products. Because diverse biological pathways interact with RNA, scRNAs that transduce between detection of endogenous RNA inputs and production of biologically active RNA outputs hold great promise as a synthetic regulatory paradigm.
