Ru(II)-modified TiO < sub > 2 < /sub > nanoparticles for hypoxia-adaptive photo-immunotherapy of oral squamous cell carcinoma
Biomaterials. 2022 Aug 24;289:121757. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121757. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe alternations in the hypoxic and immune microenvironment are closely related to the therapeutic effect and prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Herein, a new nanocomposite, TiO2@Ru@siRNA is constructed from a ruthenium-based photosensitizer (Ru) modified-TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with siRNA of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Under visible light irradiation, TiO2@Ru@siRNA can elicit both Type I and Type II photodynamic effects, which causes lysosomal damage, HIF-1α gene silencing, and O...

Inhibition of SerpinB9 to enhance granzyme B-based tumor therapy by using a modified biomimetic nanoplatform with a cascade strategy
In this study, it was proved that SerpinB9 (Sb9) downregulation can enhance the GrB susceptibility of tumor cells. Moreover, a nanocarrier fused with M1 macrophage exosomes (M1 Exo) and photothermal sensitive liposomes was constructed to efficiently transport GrB and siRNA of Sb9 to the cells. The nanocarrier is characterized by cascade tumor targeting acquired by photothermal effect-triggered increased expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in tumor tissue. Furthermore, the innate cytokines in M1 Exo are capable of regulating the tumor microenvironment by repolarizing M2 macrophages to the M1 type. Colle...

An optimized ionizable cationic lipid for brain tumor-targeted siRNA delivery and glioblastoma immunotherapy
Biomaterials. 2022 Jun 22;287:121645. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121645. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor with a high mortality rate. Immunotherapy has achieved promising clinical results in multiple cancers, but shows unsatisfactory outcome in GBM patients, and poor drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is believed to be one of the main limitations that hinder the therapeutic efficacy of drugs. Herein, a new cationic lipid nanoparticle (LNP) that can efficiently deliver siRNA across BBB and target mouse brain is prepared fo...

Non-viral siRNA delivery to T cells: Challenges and opportunities in cancer immunotherapy
Biomaterials. 2022 Apr 5;286:121510. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121510. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTT lymphocytes are the major drivers of antitumor immunity. The recent clinical success of adoptive T cell therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors has demonstrated the strength of modulating T cell function in fighting cancer. Nonetheless, a significant fraction of patients remain unresponsive largely due to the immunosuppressive tumor environment that blunts T cell activity. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) offer the potential to sequence-specifically silence the expression of negative regulator genes in T cells in...

Modified chitosan for effective renal delivery of siRNA to treat acute kidney injury
Biomaterials. 2022 May 2;285:121562. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121562. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a sudden decrease in renal function and impacts growing number of people worldwide. RNA interference (RNAi) showed potential to treat diseases with no or limited conventional therapies, including AKI. Suitable carriers are needed to protect and selectively deliver RNAi to target cells to fully explore this therapeutic modality. Here, we report on the synthesis of chitosan modified with α-cyclam-p-toluic acid (C-CS) as a novel siRNA carrier for targeted delivery to injure...

A fluorinated peptide with high serum- and lipid-tolerence for the delivery of siRNA drugs to treat obesity and metabolic dysfunction
Biomaterials. 2022 Apr 28;285:121541. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121541. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTObesity is the major risk factor for metabolic diseases such as fatty liver, hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance. Beige fat has been recognized as a therapeutic target considering its great potential to burn energy. Since the evolutionary discovery of RNA interference and its utilization for gene knockdown in mammalian cells, a remarkable progress has been achieved in siRNA-based therapeutics. However, efficient delivery of siRNA into adipose tissues or differentiated adipocytes is challenging due to high lipid co...

Aerosol delivery of star polymer-siRNA nanoparticles as a therapeutic strategy to inhibit lung tumor growth
Biomaterials. 2022 Apr 23;285:121539. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121539. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLung cancer is a major contributor to cancer-related death worldwide. siRNA nanomedicines are powerful tools for cancer therapeutics. However, there are challenges to overcome to increase siRNA delivery to solid tumors, including penetration of nanoparticles into a complex microenvironment following systemic delivery while avoiding rapid clearance by the reticuloendothelial system, and limited siRNA release from endosomes once inside the cell. Here we characterized cell uptake, intracellular trafficking, and gene si...

The programmed site-specific delivery of LY3200882 and PD-L1 siRNA boosts immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer by remodeling tumor microenvironment
In this study, we successfully constructed a programmed site-specific delivery nanosystem for the combined delivery of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) receptor inhibitor LY3200882 (LY) and PD-L1 siRNA (siPD-L1) to boost anti-tumor immunotherapy. As expected, LY in the outer layer of the nanosystem was released by stimulation of MMP2, and dramatically down-regulated the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAFs), and thus promoted the infiltration of effector T cells and penetration of nanomedicines. Simultaneously, the blockade of TGF-β by LY also triggered immunogenic cel...

Synergetic regulation of kupffer cells, extracellular matrix and hepatic stellate cells with versatile CXCR4-inhibiting nanocomplex for magnified therapy in liver fibrosis
Biomaterials. 2022 Mar 29;284:121492. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121492. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHepatic stellate cell (HSC)-targeted delivery is an attractive strategy for liver fibrosis therapy, but the efficacy is hampered by poor delivery of nanomaterials and complicated microenvironments of the fibrotic liver. Here, we report a versatile CXCR4-inhibiting nanocomplex composed of polymeric CXCR4 antagonism (PAMD, PA), CLD (clodronate) and siPAI-1 (siRNA of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) that surmounts multiple barriers to improve the outcome by co-regulating Kupffer cells (KCs), extracellular matrix (ECM...
