Circumvent PEGylation dilemma by implementing matrix metalloproteinase-responsive chemistry for promoted tumor gene therapy

Surface modification by poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGylation) has been acknowledged as a powerful strategy in minimizing non-specific reactions for biomedical devices. Once applied into manufacture of drug/gene delivery systems, PEGylation has demonstrated to significantly improve their biocompatibility and stealthiness in physiological environment. Nonetheless, reluctant cell membrane affinities thus cellular uptake efficiencies owing to PEGylation brought up further issues that are imperative to be resolved. Pertain to this PEGylation dilemma, we attempted to introduce peptide (GPLGVRG) linkage between block copolymer of PEG-poly{N'-[N-(2-aminoethyl)-2-aminoethyl]aspartamide} PAsp(DET), wherein the cationic PAsp(DET) could self-assemble with pDNA into nanoscaled complex core. Noteworthy was the peptide linkage whose amino acids sequence could be specifically recognized and degraded by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) (overexpressed in extracellular milieu of tumors). Therefore, our subsequent studies validated facile detachment of PEGylation from the aforementioned polyplex micelles upon treatment of MMPs, which elicited improved cytomembrane affinities and cellular uptake efficiencies. In addition, promoted escape from endosome entrapment was also confirmed through direct endosome membrane destabilization by PAsp(DET), which was further elucidated to be attributable to dePEGylation as well as elevated charged density of PAsp(DET) in acidic endosomes. These benefits from dePEGylation eventually contributed to promoted gene expression at the affected cells and potent tumor growth suppression based on anti-angiogenic approach. Therefore, our developed strategy has provided a facile approach in overcoming the dilemma of PEGylation, which could be informative in design of drug/gene delivery systems.     

Water-soluble Porphyrin as Temperature Sensor Based on Fluorescent Enhancement

A novel water-soluble porphyrin[5,10,15,20-tetra（3-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-sulfonate）phenyl porphyrin, H2TEHPPS] was designed and synthesized, which could be used as a potential fluorescence sensor to detect temperature changes. The studies were performed in solution phase and the concentration of H2TEHPPS was 2.0×10^-5 mol/L. The optical properties of H2TEHPPS were investigated based on the UV and fluorescence spectra. The results show that the fluorescence intensity of H2TEHPPS is directly proportional to temperature in the range of 293-353 K So H,TEHPPS can be used as a molecular temoerature sensor in biomedical and other fields.

Comparison of hydrothermal,hydrotropic and organosolv pretreatment for improving the enzymatic digestibility of bamboo

Pretreatment is the crucial step to disrupt the recalcitrant structure of lignocellulosic biomass for improving the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency. Typically, hydrothermal, organosolv and hydrotropic pretreatments are environmentally benign and effective methods. In this work, effects of hydrothermal, organosolv and hydrotropic pretreatments on improving enzymatic hydrolysis of bamboo were comprehensively compared. Hydrotropic pretreatment was more effective in removal lignin and xylose from bamboo fiber cell wall. However, the surface coverage by lignin and extractives were dramatically displaced during organosolv pretreatment as investigation by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. After pretreatments, the crystallinity of cellulose in pretreated substrates has a significant reduction, and pores were exposed on fiber surface. The residual content of acetyl and phenolic groups in hydrotropic pretreated substrates is lower than organosolv pretreated substrates. In order to deeply assess the delignification of pretreatments, the isolated lignins obtaining from pretreatments process were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy also. It was revealed that hydrotropic lignin contained more phenolic hydroxyl group and syringyl units than organosolv lignin. Compared to hydrothermal and organosolv pretreatment, cellulase adsorption capacity of pretreated substrates was notably improved by hydrotropic pretreatment, which indicating the better enzyme accessibility of cellulose. Eventually, the maximum glucose yield was obtained from hydrotropic pretreated substrates.

Assembly of ferrocenylhexanethiol functionalized gold nanoparticles for ascorbic acid determination

Gold nanoparticles functionalized with self-assembled films of ferrocenylhexanethiol and mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) were used for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA). The modified nanoparticles (mNPs) were prepared by a combination of the modified Schifrin’s and the place-exchange methods. Well-organized films were obtained due to electrostatic attraction between the carboxy groups of MUA and cationic surface of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride). The mNP films are highly stable and can be exploited to fabricate an enzyme-less sensor for AA whose function is based on the highly electrocatalytic activity of ferrocene in the mNPs towards AA. The sensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Under optimal conditions, the response current towards AA is proportional to its concentration in the range from 8.0 μM to 6.0 mM, with a detection limit of 0.14 μM (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3). This work represents a simple controlled test-bed for fundamental studies on the use of self-assembled mNPs for sensor applications.
