Focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) is a minimally invasive treatment option that has been utilized in various tumors. However, its clinical advancement has been hindered by issues such as low safety and efficiency, single image guidance mode, and postoperative tumor residue. To address these limitations, this study aimed to develop a novel multi-functional gas-producing engineering bacteria biological targeting cooperative system. Pulse-focused ultrasound (PFUS) could adjust the ratio of thermal effect to non-thermal effect by adjusting the duty cycle, and improve the safety and effectiveness of treatment.The genetic modification of Escherichia coli (E.coli) involved the insertion of an acoustic reporter gene to encode gas vesicles (GVs), resulting in gas-producing E.coli (GVs-E.coli) capable of targeting tumor anoxia. GVs-E.coli colonized and proliferated within the tumor while the GVs facilitated ultrasound imaging and cooperative PFUS. Additionally, multifunctional cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI)-poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (PEI-PLGA/EPI/PFH@Fe3O4) containing superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO, Fe3O4), perfluorohexane (PFH), and epirubicin (EPI) were developed. These nanoparticles offered synergistic PFUS, supplementary chemotherapy, and multimodal imaging capabilities.GVs-E.coli effectively directed the PEI-PLGA/EPI/PFH@Fe3O4 to accumulate within the tumor target area by means of electrostatic adsorption, resulting in a synergistic therapeutic impact on tumor eradication.In conclusion, GVs-E.coli-mediated multi-functional nanoparticles can synergize with PFUS and chemotherapy to effectively treat tumors, overcoming the limitations of current FUAS therapy and improving safety and efficacy. This approach presents a promising new strategy for tumor therapy.

The photothermal conversion properties of tellurium (Te) nanoparticles have been extensively investigated, rendering them a promising candidate for tumor photothermal therapy. However, there is still room for improvement in the development of efficient Te-based drug delivery systems. Here, Te nanoparticles are mineralized with bioactive molecules within attenuated Salmonella (S-Te), which are subsequently taken up by macrophages (RAW264.7) to construct a double-camouflaged delivery platform (RS-Te). Remarkably, RS-Te retains superior photothermal properties under near-infrared irradiation. The mineralization process eliminates bacterial proliferation potential, thereby mitigating the risk of excessive bacterial growth in vivo. Furthermore, the uptake of bacteria by macrophages not only polarizes them into M1 macrophages to induce an anti-tumor immune response but also circumvents any adverse effects caused by complex antigens on the bacterial surface. The results show that RS-Te can effectively accumulate and retain in tumors. RS-Te-mediated photothermal immunotherapy largely promotes the maturation of dendritic cells and priming of cytotoxic T cells induced by near-infrared laser irradiation. Moreover, RS-Te can switch the activation of macrophages from an immunosuppressive M2 phenotype to a more inflammatory M1 state. The double-camouflaged delivery system may offer highly efficient and safe cancer treatment.

Tuberculosis (TB), induced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, remains a major public health issue worldwide. Mtb has developed complicated strategies to inhibit the immunological clearance of host cells, which significantly promote TB epidemic and weaken the anti-TB treatments. Host-directed therapy (HDT) is a novel approach in the field of anti-infection for overcoming antimicrobial resistance by enhancing the antimicrobial activities of phagocytes through phagosomal maturation, autophagy and antimicrobial peptides. Autophagy, a highly conserved cellular event within eukaryotic cells that is effective against a variety of bacterial infections, has been shown to play a protective role in host defense against Mtb. In recent decades, the introduction of nanomaterials into medical fields open up a new scene for novel therapeutics with enhanced efficiency and safety against different diseases. The active modification of nanomaterials not only allows their attractive targeting effects against the host cells, but also introduce the potential to regulate the host anti-TB immunological mechanisms, such as apoptosis, autophagy or macrophage polarization. In this review, we introduced the mechanisms of host cell autophagy for intracellular Mtb clearance, and how functional nanomaterials regulate autophagy for disease treatment. Moreover, we summarized the recent advances of nanomaterials for autophagy regulations as novel HDT strategies for anti-TB treatment, which may benefit the development of more effective anti-TB treatments.

Liquid biopsy is a minimally invasive method that uses biofluid samples instead of tissue samples for cancer diagnosis. Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles secreted by donor cells and act as mediators of intercellular communication in human health and disease. Due to their important roles, exosomes have been considered as promising biomarkers for liquid biopsy. However, traditional methods for exosome isolation and cargo detection methods are time-consuming and inefficient, limiting their practical application. In the past decades, many new strategies, such as microfluidic chips, nanowire arrays and electrochemical biosensors, have been proposed to achieve rapid, accurate and high-throughput detection and analysis of exosomes. In this review, we discussed about the new advance in exosome-based liquid biopsy technology, including isolation, enrichment, cargo detection and analysis approaches. The comparison of currently available methods is also included. Finally, we summarized the advantages and limitations of the present strategies and further gave a perspective to their future translational use.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) belongs to chronic inflammatory disease with a relapsing characterization. Conventional oral drugs of UC are restricted in clinical by premature degradation in the gastrointestinal tract, modest efficacy, and adverse effects. CX5461 can treat autoimmune disease, immunological rejection, and vascular inflammation. However, low solubility, intravenous administration, and non-inflammatory targeting limited its clinical application. Herein, this work aims to develop Sophora Flavescens-derived exosomes-like nanovesicles carrying CX5461 (SFELNVs@CX5461) for efficient CX5461 oral delivery for UC therapy. We identified SFELNVs as nano-diameter (80 nm) with negative zeta potential (-32mV). Cellular uptake has shown that SFELNVs were targeted uptake by macrophages, thus increasing drug concentration. Additionally, oral SFELNVs@CX5461 exhibited good safety and stability, as well as inflammation-targeting ability in the gastrointestinal tract of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis mice. In vivo, oral administration of SFELNVs and CX5461 could relieve mice colitis. More importantly, combined SFELNVs and CX5461 alleviated mice colitis by inhibiting pro-inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) expression and promoting M2 macrophage polarization. Furthermore, SFELNVs promoted M2 polarization by miR4371c using miRNA sequencing. Our results suggest that SFELNVs@CX5461 represents a novel orally therapeutic drug that can ameliorate colitis, and a promising targeting strategy for safe UC therapy.

Ferroptosis, distinct from apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy, is a unique type of cell death driven by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation. Since ferroptosis was defined in 2012, it has received widespread attention from researchers worldwide. From a biochemical perspective, the regulation of ferroptosis is strongly associated with cellular metabolism, primarily including iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, and redox metabolism. The distinctive regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis holds great potential for overcoming drug resistance-a major challenge in treating cancer. The considerable role of nanobiotechnology in disease treatment has been widely reported, but further and more systematic discussion on how nanobiotechnology enhances the therapeutic efficacy on ferroptosis-associated diseases still needs to be improved. Moreover, while the exciting therapeutic potential of ferroptosis in cancer has been relatively well summarized, its applications in other diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and kidney disease, remain underreported. Consequently, it is necessary to fill these gaps to further complete the applications of nanobiotechnology in ferroptosis. In this review, we provide an extensive introduction to the background of ferroptosis and elaborate its regulatory network. Subsequently, we discuss the various advantages of combining nanobiotechnology with ferroptosis to enhance therapeutic efficacy and reduce the side effects of ferroptosis-associated diseases. Finally, we analyze and discuss the feasibility of nanobiotechnology and ferroptosis in improving clinical treatment outcomes based on clinical needs, as well as the current limitations and future directions of nanobiotechnology in the applications of ferroptosis, which will not only provide significant guidance for the clinical applications of ferroptosis and nanobiotechnology but also accelerate their clinical translations.

Background: In diabetic wounds, hyperglycemia-induced cytotoxicity and impaired immune microenvironment plasticity directly hinder the wound healing process. Regulation of the hyperglycemic microenvironment and remodeling of the immune microenvironment are crucial.
Results: Here, we developed a nanozymatic functionalized regenerative microenvironmental regulator (AHAMA/CS-GOx@Zn-POM) for the effective repair of diabetic wounds. This novel construct integrated an aldehyde and methacrylic anhydride-modified hyaluronic acid hydrogel (AHAMA) and chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) encapsulating zinc-based polymetallic oxonate nanozyme (Zn-POM) and glucose oxidase (GOx), facilitating a sustained release of release of both enzymes. The GOx catalyzed glucose to gluconic acid and (H₂O₂), thereby alleviating the effects of the hyperglycemic microenvironment on wound healing. Zn-POM exhibited catalase and superoxide dismutase activities to scavenge reactive oxygen species and H₂O₂, a by-product of glucose degradation. Additionally, Zn-POM induced M1 macrophage reprogramming to the M2 phenotype by inhibiting the MAPK/IL-17 signaling diminishing pro-inflammatory cytokines, and upregulating the expression of anti-inflammatory mediators, thus remodeling the immune microenvironment and enhancing angiogenesis and collagen regeneration within wounds. In a rat diabetic wound model, the application of AHAMA/CS-GOx@Zn-POM enhanced neovascularization and collagen deposition, accelerating the wound healing process.
Conclusions: Therefore, the regenerative microenvironment regulator AHAMA/CS-GOx@Zn-POM can achieve the effective conversion of a pathological microenvironment to regenerative microenvironment through integrated control of the hyperglycemic-immune microenvironment, offering a novel strategy for the treatment of diabetic wounds.

The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly inhibits the effective anti-tumor immune response, greatly affecting the efficacy of immunotherapy. Most tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) belong to the M2 phenotype, which contributes significantly to the immunosuppressive effects in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) TME. The interaction between signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) expressed on macrophages and CD47, a transmembrane protein overexpressed on cancer cells, activates the "eat-me-not" signaling pathway, inhibiting phagocytosis. In this study, a folic acid (FA)-modified ultrasound responsive gene/drugs delivery system, named FA@ PFP @ Fe3O4 @LNB-SIRPα siRNA (FA-PFNB-SIRPα siRNA), was developed using 1,2-dioleoacyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP), FA-1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N- [amino (polyethylene glycol)2000] (DSPE-PEG2000-FA), cholesterol, and perfluoropentane (PFP), for the delivery of siRNA encoding SIRPα mRNA and immune adjuvant Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Under ultrasound conditions, the nanobubbles effectively transfected macrophages, inhibiting SIRPα mRNA and protein expression, promoting the phagocytosis of TAMs, and synergistically reversing M2 polarization. This system promotes the infiltration of T cells, enhances the proliferation and activation of cytotoxic T cells, and inhibits the infiltration of immunosuppressive cells in tumor tissues. Administration of FA-PFNB-SIRPα siRNA combined with ultrasound significantly inhibits NSCLC progression. The study highlights the potential of ultrasound nanotechnology-enabled delivery of SIRPα siRNA and Fe3O4 as an effective strategy for macrophage-based immunotherapy to reshape the immunosuppressive TME for cancer therapy.

In this study, a folic acid (FA)-modified ultrasound responsive gene/drugs delivery system, named FA@ PFP @ Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> @LNB-SIRPα siRNA (FA-PFNB-SIRPα siRNA), was developed using 1,2-dioleoacyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP), FA-1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N- [amino (polyethylene glycol)2000] (DSPE-PEG2000-FA), cholesterol, and perfluoropentane (PFP), for the delivery of siRNA encoding SIRPα mRNA and immune adjuvant Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles. Under ultrasound conditions, the nanobubbles effectively transfected macrophages, inhibiting SIRPα mRNA and protein expression, promoting the phagocytosis of TAMs, and synergistically reversing M2 polarization. This system promotes the infiltration of T cells, enhances the proliferation and activation of cytotoxic T cells, and inhibits the infiltration of immunosuppressive cells in tumor tissues. Administration of FA-PFNB-SIRPα siRNA combined with ultrasound significantly inhibits NSCLC progression. The study highlights the potential of ultrasound nanotechnology-enabled delivery of SIRPα siRNA and Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> as an effective strategy for macrophage-based immunotherapy to reshape the immunosuppressive TME for cancer therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":16383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanobiotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11460142/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142391164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inspired by the concept of "natural camouflage," biomimetic drug delivery systems have emerged to address the limitations of traditional synthetic nanocarriers, such as poor targeting, susceptibility to identification and clearance, inadequate biocompatibility, low permeability, and systemic toxicity. Biomimetic nanocarriers retain the proteins, nucleic acids, and other components of the parent cells. They not only facilitate drug delivery but also serve as communication media to inhibit tumor cells. This paper delves into the communication mechanisms between various cell-derived biomimetic nanocarriers, tumor cells, and the tumor microenvironment, as well as their applications in drug delivery. In addition, the additional communication capabilities conferred on the modified biomimetic nanocarriers, such as targeting and environmental responsiveness, are outlined. Finally, we propose future development directions for biomimetic nanocarriers, hoping to inspire researchers in their design efforts and ultimately achieve clinical translation.
