Size-Dependent Internalization Efficiency of Macrophages from Adsorbed Nanoparticle-Based Monolayers.

ABSTRACT: Functional coatings based on the assembly of submicrometric or nanoparticles are found in many applications in the biomedical field. However, these nanoparticle-based coatings are particularly fragile since they could be exposed to cells that are able to internalize nanoparticles. Here, we studied the efficiency of RAW 264.7 murine macrophages to internalize physisorbed silica nanoparticles as a function of time and particle size. This cell internalization efficiency was evaluated from the damages induced by the cells in the nanoparticle-based monolayer on the basis of scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy observations. The internalization efficiency in terms of the percentage of nanoparticles cleared from the substrate is characterized by two size-dependent regimes. Additionally, we highlighted that a delay before internalization occurs, which increases with decreasing adsorbed nanoparticle size. This internalization is characterized by a minimal threshold that corresponds to 35 nm nanoparticles that are not internalized during the 12-h incubation considered in this work.

Nanoparticle Internalization Promotes the Survival of Primary Macrophages

Project description:Macrophages have emerged as promising therapeutic targets for regulating immune microenvironments. However, tissue-isolated macrophages are plagued by poor survival, which limits the therapeutic efficacy and prevents thorough drug screening and model development. Therefore, developing strategies aimed at prolonging primary macrophage survival is imperative for realizing macrophage therapies and understanding macrophage behavior. We discovered that nanoparticle dosing significantly enhances ex vivo survival of primary macrophages, which is attributed to suppression of apoptosis and is linked to downstream phagocytosis and lysosomal signaling. We report that macrophage survival because of phagocytosis of nanoparticles fabricated with immunologically inert materials does not alter macrophage polarization or lead to aberrant activation. These findings provide a framework for extending the lifespan of primary macrophages ex vivo for drug screening, vaccine studies, and cell therapies.

pH-Dependent Cellular Internalization of Paramagnetic Nanoparticle.

Project description:A hallmark of the tumor microenvironment in malignant tumor is extracellular acidosis, which can be exploited for targeted delivery of drugs and imaging agents. A pH sensitive paramagnetic nanoaparticle (NP) is developed by incorporating GdDOTA-4AmP MRI contrast agent and pHLIP (pH Low Insertion Peptide) into the surface of a G5-PAMAM dendrimer. pHLIP showed pH-selective insertion and folding into cell membranes, but only in acidic conditions. We demonstrated that pHLIP-conjugated Gd44-G5 paramagnetic nanoparticle binds and fuses with cellular membrane at low pH, but not at normal physiological pH, and that it promotes cellular uptake. Intracellular trafficking of NPs showed endosomal/lysosomal path ways.

Precise quantification of nanoparticle internalization.

Project description:Nanoparticles have opened new exciting avenues for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications in human disease, and targeted nanoparticles are increasingly used as specific drug delivery vehicles. The precise quantification of nanoparticle internalization is of importance to measure the impact of physical and chemical properties on the uptake of nanoparticles into target cells or into cells responsible for rapid clearance. Internalization of nanoparticles has been measured by various techniques, but comparability of data between different laboratories is impeded by lack of a generally accepted standardized assay. Furthermore, the distinction between associated and internalized particles has been a challenge for many years, although this distinction is critical for most research questions. Previously used methods to verify intracellular location are typically not quantitative and do not lend themselves to high-throughput analysis. Here, we developed a mathematical model which integrates the data from high-throughput flow cytometry measurements with data from quantitative confocal microscopy. The generic method described here will be a useful tool in biomedical nanotechnology studies. The method was then applied to measure the impact of surface coatings of vesosomes on their internalization by cells of the reticuloendothelial system (RES). RES cells are responsible for rapid clearance of nanoparticles, and the resulting fast blood clearance is one of the major challenges in biomedical applications of nanoparticles. Coating of vesosomes with long chain polyethylene glycol showed a trend for lower internalization by RES cells.

Nanoparticle size and production efficiency are affected by the presence of fatty acids during albumin nanoparticle fabrication.

Project description:We have previously identified extensive glycation, bound fatty acids and increased quantities of protein aggregates in commercially available recombinant HSA (rHSA) expressed in Oryza sativa (Asian rice) (OsrHSA) when compared to rHSA from other expression systems. We propose these differences may alter some attributes of nanoparticles fabricated with OsrHSA, as studies have associated greater quantities of aggregates with increased nanoparticle diameters. To determine if this is the case, nanoparticles were fabricated with OsrHSA from various suppliers using ethanol desolvation and subsequent glutaraldehyde cross-linking. All nanoparticles fabricated with OsrHSA showed larger diameters of approximately 20 to 90nm than particles fabricated with either defatted bovine serum albumin (DF-BSA) (100.9 ± 2.8nm) or human plasma albumin (pHSA) (112.0 ± 4.0nm). It was hypothesized that the larger nanoparticle diameters were due to the presence of bound fatty acids and this was confirmed through defatting OsrHSA prior to particle fabrication which yielded particles with diameters similar to those fabricated with pHSA. For additional conformation, DF-BSA was incubated with dodecanoic acid prior to desolvation yielding particles with significantly larger diameters. Further studies showed the increased nanoparticle diameters were due to the bound fatty acids modulating electrostatic interactions between albumin nanoparticles during the desolvation and not changes in protein structure, stability or generation of additional albumin oligomers. Finally the presence of dodecanoic acid was shown to improve doxorubicin loading efficiency onto preformed albumin nanoparticles.

Size-Dependent Polymeric Nanoparticle Distribution in a Static versus Dynamic Microfluidic Blood Vessel Model: Implications for Nanoparticle-Based Drug Delivery.

Project description:Nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely investigated in the nanomedicine field. One of the main challenges is to accurately predict the NP distribution and fate after administration. Microfluidic platforms acquired huge importance as tools to model the in vivo environment. In this study, we leveraged a microfluidic platform to produce FITC-labeled poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLGA-PEG) NPs with defined sizes of 30, 50, and 70 nm. The study aimed to compare the ability of NPs with differences of 20 nm in size to cross an endothelial barrier using static (Transwell inserts) and dynamic (microfluidic perfusion device) in vitro models. Our results evidence a size-dependent NP crossing in both models (30 > 50 > 70 nm) and highlight the bias deriving from the static model, which does not involve shear stresses. The permeation of each NP size was significantly higher in the static system than in the dynamic model at the earliest stages. However, it gradually decreased to levels comparable with those of the dynamic model. Overall, this work highlights clear differences in NP distribution over time in static versus dynamic conditions and distinct size-dependent patterns. These findings reinforce the need for accurate in vitro screening models that allow for more accurate predictions of in vivo performance.

Enabling online determination of the size-dependent RNA content of lipid nanoparticle-based RNA formulations

Project description:The potential of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) as nucleic acid delivery vehicles has been demonstrated in recent years, culminating in the emergency use approval of LNP-based mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in late 2020. The determination of RNA content relative to LNP size can be important to the understanding of efficacy and adverse effects. This work presents the first description of a facile and rapid analytical method for online, size-dependent RNA payload distribution measurement using data from multi-angle light scattering, ultraviolet and refractive index detectors following separation of the LNPs by size-exclusion chromatography. The analysis was validated by size-based fractionation of the LNPs with subsequent offline analysis of the fractions. Four LNPs formulated with different PEG-lipids and different lipid compositions were tested. Good agreement was observed between the online and offline size-based RNA distributions among all four LNPs, demonstrating the utility of the online method for LNP-encapsulated RNA in general, and suggesting a means for simplified biophysical quantitation of a dosing-related critical quality attribute.

Flavivirus internalization is regulated by a size-dependent endocytic pathway.

Project description:Flaviviruses enter host cells through the process of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, and the spectrum of host factors required for this process are incompletely understood. Here we found that lymphocyte antigen 6 locus E (LY6E) promotes the internalization of multiple flaviviruses, including West Nile virus, Zika virus, and dengue virus. Perhaps surprisingly, LY6E is dispensable for the internalization of the endogenous cargo transferrin, which is also dependent on clathrin-mediated endocytosis for uptake. Since viruses are substantially larger than transferrin, we reasoned that LY6E may be required for uptake of larger cargoes and tested this using transferrin-coated beads of similar size as flaviviruses. LY6E was indeed required for the internalization of transferrin-coated beads, suggesting that LY6E is selectively required for large cargo. Cell biological studies found that LY6E forms tubules upon viral infection and bead internalization, and we found that tubule formation was dependent on RNASEK, which is also required for flavivirus internalization, but not transferrin uptake. Indeed, we found that RNASEK is also required for the internalization of transferrin-coated beads, suggesting it functions upstream of LY6E. These LY6E tubules resembled microtubules, and we found that microtubule assembly was required for their formation and flavivirus uptake. Since microtubule end-binding proteins link microtubules to downstream activities, we screened the three end-binding proteins and found that EB3 promotes virus uptake and LY6E tubularization. Taken together, these results highlight a specialized pathway required for the uptake of large clathrin-dependent endocytosis cargoes, including flaviviruses.

Onset of frictional slip by domain nucleation in adsorbed monolayers.

Project description:It has been known for centuries that a body in contact with a substrate will start to slide when the lateral force exceeds the static friction force. Yet the microscopic mechanisms ruling the crossover from static to dynamic friction are still the object of active research. Here, we analyze the onset of slip of a xenon (Xe) monolayer sliding on a copper (Cu) substrate. We consider thermal-activated creep under a small external lateral force, and observe that slip proceeds by the nucleation and growth of domains in the commensurate interface between the film and the substrate. We measure the activation energy for the nucleation process considering its dependence on the external force, the substrate corrugation, and particle interactions in the film. To understand the results, we use the classical theory of nucleation and compute analytically the activation energy which turns out to be in excellent agreement with numerical results. We discuss the relevance of our results to understand experiments on the sliding of adsorbed monolayers.

Fluoromica nanoparticle cytotoxicity in macrophages decreases with size and extent of uptake.

Project description:Polyurethanes are widely used in biomedical devices such as heart valves, pacemaker leads, catheters, vascular devices, and surgical dressings because of their excellent mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. Layered silicate nanoparticles can significantly increase tensile strength and breaking strain of polyurethanes potentially increasing the life span of biomedical devices that suffer from wear in vivo. However, very little is known about how these nanoparticles interact with proteins and cells and how they might exert unwanted effects. A series of fluoromica nanoparticles ranging in platelet size from 90 to over 600 nm in diameter were generated from the same base material ME100 by high energy milling and differential centrifugation. The cytotoxicity of the resulting particles was dependent on platelet size but in a manner that is opposite to many other types of nanomaterials. For the fluoromicas, the smaller the platelet size, the less toxicity was observed. The small fluoromica nanoparticles (<200 nm) were internalized by macrophages via scavenger receptors, which was dependent on the protein corona formed in serum. This internalization was associated with apoptosis in RAW cells but not in dTHP-1 cells. The larger particles were not internalized efficiently but mostly decorated the surface of the cells, causing membrane disruption, even in the presence of 80% serum. This work suggests the smaller fluoromica platelets may be safer for use in humans but their propensity to recognize macrophage scavenger receptors also suggests that they will target the reticulo-endoplasmic system in vivo.
