Layer by Layer Mesoporous Silica-Hyaluronic Acid-Cyclodextrin Bifunctional "Lamination": Study of the Application of Fluorescent Probe and Host?Guest Interactions in the Drug Delivery Field.

ABSTRACT: The layer-by-layer technique was exploited to adjust the magnitude of the host?guest interactions between adamantane and cyclodextrin. The effect depends on numerous complex and changeable growth profiles of the films and the number of bilayers. These composite films of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and hyaluronic acid?cyclodextrin(HA-CD) were constructed to load the fluorescent dyes and peptides. The release rates of these molecules would decrease with an increase in the number of layers. A laser scanning confocal microscope was utilized to obtain the diffusion coefficient of fluorescein isothiocyanate. Hybrid films could be applied to increase the loading of different kinds of molecules and could also be integrated into the lamination to delay the rate of release.

Cyclodextrin-assisted synthesis of tailored mesoporous silica nanoparticles.

Project description:Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have sparked considerable interest in drug/gene delivery, catalysis, adsorption, separation, sensing, antireflection coatings and bioimaging because of their tunable structural properties. The shape, size and pore structure of MSNs are greatly influenced by the type of additives used, e.g., solvent and pore-templating agent. Here, we studied the influence of cyclodextrin (CD) molecules on the formation of MSNs. The nanoparticles over 100 nm in diameter were synthesized by surfactant-templated, hydrolysis-polycondensation reactions in the presence of pristine CD (?-CD) or hydroxypropyl-functionalized CDs (HP-?-CD and HP-?-CD). Depending on the formulation conditions, differently shaped MSNs, such as bean-like, spherical, ellipsoid, aggregate and faceted were generated. The morphology and size of MSNs varied with the CD-type used. Generally, spherical particles were obtained with ?-CD, while a faceted morphology was observed for the particles synthesized using HP-CDs. The particle size could be tuned by adjusting the amount of CD used; increasing the CD concentration led to larger particles. MSNs synthesized in the presence of ?-CD displayed a smaller particle size than those produced with HP-functional CDs. FTIR, TGA and solid-state 13C NMR demonstrated the adsorption of CDs on the particle surfaces. The proposed concept allows for the synthesis of silica nanoparticles with control over particle shape and size by adjusting the concentration of additives in a simple, one-pot reaction system for a wide range of applications.

Ultrabright NIR fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles.

Project description:Near-infrared (NIR) water-dispersible fluorescent tags are of big importance for biomedical imaging. Bright, stable, biocompatible NIR fluorescent nanoparticles have great translation potential to improve diagnosis of early stages of different diseases. Here we report on the synthesis of exceptionally bright ("ultrabright") fluorescent meso(nano)porous silica nanoparticles of 28 ± 3 nm in diameter. The NIR fluorescent dye LS277 is encapsulated inside these silica nanoparticles. The wavelengths of the maximum excitation/fluorescence of the particles are 804/815 nm. The absorptivity coefficient of the particles is 2.1 × 108 M-1 cm-1 at 805 nm and the quantum yield of the dye increased by a factor of 5 after encapsulating to 1.5%. The fluorescent brightness of these particles is more than 2000× higher than the fluorescence of one molecule of LS277 in water. When exited in NIR spectral region (>700 nm), these particles are up to 4× brighter than QD800 commercial quantum dots emitting at 800 nm. We demonstrate that the synthesized NIR mesoporous silica nanoparticles easily internalize 4T1luc breast tumor cells, and remain bright for more than 9 weeks whereas the dye is completely bleached by that time.

Microfluidic Assembly of Cationic-β-Cyclodextrin:Hyaluronic Acid-Adamantane Host:Guest pDNA Nanoparticles.

Project description:Traditionally, transfection complexes are typically formed by bulk mixing, producing particles with high polydispersity and limited control over vector size. Herein, we demonstrate the use of a commercial micro-reactor to assemble pDNA:cationic cyclodextrin:pendant polymer nanoparticles using a layer-by-layer approach. Our studies reveal that the particles formulated via microfluidic assembly have much smaller sizes, lower polydispersity, lower ζ-potentials, and comparable cell viability and transfection profiles in HeLa cells than bulk mixed particles. The complexes also show a flow rate-dependent stability, with particles formed at slower flow rates giving rise to more stable complexes as determined by heparin challenge. Our findings suggest that microfluidic reactors offer an attractive method for assembling reproducible, size-controlled complexes from multi-component transfection complex assemblies.

Ultrabright fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles for prescreening of cervical cancer.

Project description:UNLABELLED:We report on the first functional use of recently introduced ultrabright fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles, which are functionalized with folic acid, to distinguish cancerous and precancerous cervical epithelial cells from normal cells. The high brightness of the particles is advantageous for fast and reliable identification of both precancerous and cancerous cells. Normal and cancer cells were isolated from three healthy women and three cancer patients. Three precancerous cell lines were derived by immortalization of primary cultures of normal cells with human papillomavirus type-16 (HPV-16) DNA. We observed substantially different particle internalization by normal and cancerous/precancerous cells after a short incubation time of 15 minutes. Compared to HPV-DNA and cell pathology tests, which are currently used for prescreening of cervical cancer, we demonstrated that the specificity of our method was similar (94-95%), whereas its sensitivity was significantly better (95-97%) than the sensitivity of those currently used tests (30-80%). FROM THE CLINICAL EDITOR:This team of investigators reports on the development of a new screening test for cervical cancer using ultrabright fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles functionalized with folic acid, enabling significantly better sensitivity (95-97% vs. 30-80%) and maintained specificity (94-95%) compared with current clinical tests. This test should find a way to clinical use in the near future.

Cyclodextrin and polyethylenimine functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles for delivery of siRNA cancer therapeutics.

Project description:Effective delivery holds the key to successful in vivo application of therapeutic small interfering RNA (siRNA). In this work, we have developed a universal siRNA carrier consisting of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSNP) functionalized with cyclodextrin-grafted polyethylenimine (CP). CP provides positive charge for loading of siRNA through electrostatic interaction and enables effective endosomal escape of siRNA. Using intravital microscopy we were able to monitor tumor enrichment of CP-MSNP/siRNA particles in live mice bearing orthotopic MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumors. CP-MSNP delivery of siRNA targeting the M2 isoform of the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase (PKM2) resulted in effective knockdown of gene expression in vitro and in vivo. Suppression of PKM2 led to inhibition of tumor cell growth, invasion, and migration.

Bifunctional, Copper-Doped, Mesoporous Silica Nanosphere-Modified, Bioceramic Scaffolds for Bone Tumor Therapy.

Project description:In the traditional surgical intervention procedure, residual tumor cells may potentially cause tumor recurrence. In addition, large bone defects caused by surgery are difficult to self-repair. Thus, it is necessary to design a bioactive scaffold that can not only kill residual tumor cells but also promote bone defect regeneration simultaneously. Here, we successfully developed Cu-containing mesoporous silica nanosphere-modified β-tricalcium phosphate (Cu-MSN-TCP) scaffolds, with uniform and dense nanolayers with spherical morphology via 3D printing and spin coating. The scaffolds exhibited coating time- and laser power density-dependent photothermal performance, which favored the effective killing of tumor cells under near-infrared laser irradiation. Furthermore, the prepared scaffolds favored the proliferation and attachment of rabbit bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and stimulated the gene expression of osteogenic markers. Overall, Cu-MSN-TCP scaffolds can be considered for complete eradication of residual bone tumor cells and simultaneous healing of large bone defects, which may provide a novel and effective strategy for bone tumor therapy. In the future, such Cu-MSN-TCP scaffolds may function as carriers of anti-cancer drugs or immune checkpoint inhibitors in chemo-/photothermal or immune-/photothermal therapy of bone tumors, favoring for effective treatment.

On-Flow Immobilization of Polystyrene Microspheres on β-Cyclodextrin-Patterned Silica Surfaces through Supramolecular Host-Guest Interactions.

Project description:Species-specific isolation of microsized entities such as microplastics and resistant bacteria from waste streams is becoming a growing environmental challenge. By studying the on-flow immobilization of micron-sized polystyrene particles onto functionalized silica surfaces, we ascertain if supramolecular host-guest chemistry in aqueous solutions can provide an alternative technology for water purification. Polystyrene particles were modified with different degrees of adamantane (guest) molecules, and silica surfaces were patterned with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD, host) through microcontact printing (μCP). The latter was exposed to solutions of these particles flowing at different speeds, allowing us to study the effect of flow rate and multivalency on particle binding to the surface. The obtained binding profile was correlated with Comsol simulations. We also observed that particle binding is directly aligned with particle's ability to form host-guest interactions with the β-CD-patterned surface, as particle binding to the functionalized glass surface increased with higher adamantane load on the polystyrene particle surface. Because of the noncovalent character of these interactions, immobilization is reversible and modified β-CD surfaces can be recycled, which provides a positive outlook for their incorporation in water purification systems.

Mechanistic Insight into Receptor-Mediated Delivery of Cationic-?-Cyclodextrin:Hyaluronic Acid-Adamantamethamidyl Host:Guest pDNA Nanoparticles to CD44(+) Cells.

Project description:Targeted delivery is a key element for improving the efficiency and safety of nonviral vectors for gene therapy. We have recently developed a CD44 receptor targeted, hyaluronic acid-adamantamethamidyl based pendant polymer system (HA-Ad), capable of forming complexes with cationic ?-cyclodextrins (CD-PEI(+)) and pDNA. Complexes formed using these compounds (HA-Ad:CD-PEI(+):pDNA) display high water solubility, good transfection efficiency, and low cytotoxicity. Spatial and dynamic tracking of the transfection complexes by confocal microscopy and multicolor flow cytometry techniques was used to evaluate the target specificity, subcellular localization, and endosomal escape process. Our data shows that cells expressing the CD44 receptor undergo enhanced cellular uptake and transfection efficiency with HA-Ad:CD-PEI(+):pDNA complexes. This transfection system, comprised noncovalent assembly of cyclodextrin:adamantamethamidyl-modified hyaluronic acid via host:guest interactions to condense pDNA, is a potentially useful tool for targeted delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics.

A pyrene- and phosphonate-containing fluorescent probe as guest molecule in a host polymer matrix.

Project description:New host-guest materials have been prepared by incorporation of a home-made organic probe displaying a pyrene motif and a phosphonate function into a regular amphiphilic copolymer. Using powder X-Ray diffraction, photoluminescence and FT-IR spectroscopy, we have been able to study the non-covalent interactions between the host matrix and the guest molecule in the solid state. Interestingly, we have shown that the matrix directs the guest spatial localization and alters its properties. Thanks to the comparison of pyrene vs. N-pyrenylmaleimide derivatives, the influence of the chemical nature of the guest molecules on the non-covalent interactions with the host have been studied. In addition, using polyethylene glycol as a reference host, we have been able to evidence a true matrix effect within our new insertion materials. The phosphonated guest molecule appears to be a novel probe targeting the hydrophilic domain of the host copolymer.

Nanometer-thick conformal pore sealing of self-assembled mesoporous silica by plasma-assisted atomic layer deposition.

Project description:On a porous substrate, regular atomic layer deposition (ALD) not only takes place on top of the substrate but also penetrates into the internal porosity. Here we report a plasma-assisted process in which the ALD precursors are chosen to be nonreactive unless triggered by plasma, so that ALD can be spatially defined by the supply of plasma irradiation. Since plasma cannot penetrate within the internal porosity, ALD has been successfully confined to the immediate surface. This not only gives a possible solution for sealing of porous low dielectric constant films with a conformal layer of nm-scale thickness but also enables us to progressively reduce the pore size of mesoporous materials in a sub-A/cycle fashion for membrane formation.
