Nano-armed Limosilactobacillus reuteri for enhanced photo-immunotherapy and mic...
Xu, Haiting; Wang, Yajun; Liu, Ga; Zhu, Zhenhua; Shahbazi, Mohammad-Ali; Reis, R. L.; Kundu, Subhas C; Shi, Xiaoxiao; Zu, Menghang; Xiao, BoDespite being a groundbreaking approach to treating colorectal cancer (CRC), the efficacy of immunotherapy is significantly compromised by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and dysbiotic intestinal microbiota. Here, leveraging the superior carrying capacity and innate immunity-stimulating property of living bacteria, a nanomedicine-engineered bacterium, LR-S-CD/CpG@LNP, with optical responsiveness, i...
Antheraea pernyi silk nanofibrils with inherent RGD motifs accelerate diabetic ...
Duan, Lian; Liu, Ga; Liao, Fuying; Xie, Chunyu; Shi, Jiahao; Yang, Xiao; Zheng, Fan; Reis, R. L.; Kundu, Subhas C; Xiao, BoThe chronic inflammation and matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-induced tissue degradation significantly disrupt re-epithelization and delay the healing process of diabetic wounds. To address these issues, we produced nanofibrils from Antheraea pernyi (Ap) silk fibers via a facile and green treatment of swelling and shearing. The integrin receptors on the cytomembrane could specifically bind to the Ap nanofibrils (Ap...
Injectable dual-network hydrogel for phototherapy and immunomodulation in the t...
Bao, Shengfei; Jiang, Aodi; Peng, Li; Liao, Fuying; Liu, Ga; Chen, Li; Zhou, Peng; Zhu, Zhen; Reis, R. L.; Kundu, Subhas C; Duan, Lian; Xiao, BoContinuous invasion and infection of drug-resistant bacteria leads to chronic inflammation and ulcers in skin wounds, which hinders wound healing and even results in sepsis. Here, we constructed a multifunctional injectable hydrogel (GA/PIOP/SF) that was composed of a synthesized porous ionic organic polymer (PIOP) with photothermal and photodynamic therapy (PDT/PTT) capacities to kill bacteria, a bioactive sma...
Reinforced plant-derived lipid nanoparticles for oral precise epigenome editing...
Gao, Qiang; Gao, Yunxia; Cao, Yingui; Xu, Haiting; Ma, Ya; Zu, Menghang; Yang, Qiang; Yang, Kun; Zhu, Zhenhua; Liu, Chao; Shi, X. X.; Reis, R. L.The clinical application of CRISPR-Cas9 remains limited by delivery challenges, particularly for oral administration. Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (Lsd1) plays a key role in colonic inflammation and tumorigenesis. Here, we developed an oral genome-editing platform (TPGS-RNP@LNP), where Lsd1-targeting ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) were encapsulated in mulberry leaf lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and formulated with d-α...
Advancements of nanoscale drug formulations for combination treatment of colore...
Li, Liqi; Chen, Maohua; Reis, R. L.; Kundu, Subhas C; Xiao, Bo; Shi, XiaoxiaoCombination chemotherapy is widely utilized in treating colorectal cancer (CRC), particularly for patients who are ineligible for surgery or those with metastatic CRC (mCRC). While this therapeutic method has demonstrated efficacy in managing CRC and mCRC, its broader clinical application is limited due to the unique physical properties, mechanisms of action, and pharmacokinetics of different chemotherapeutic d...
Oral oncolytic magnetotactic bacteria elicit anti-colorectal tumor immunity and...
Jiang, Aodi; Li, Baoyi; Zu, Menghang; Chen, Li; Zhao, Chan; Tian, Jiesheng; Reis, R. L.; Kundu, Subhas C; Xiao, Bo; Shi, XiaoxiaoTherapeutic outcomes of colorectal cancer (CRC) are influenced by intestinal microbiota and metabolites. To leverage the tumor-tropism and microbiota-regulating properties of bacteria, we developed oncolytic magnetotactic bacteria (MSR-CPT/APPs) loaded with camptothecin (CPT) and anti-PD-L1 peptide (APP) for targeted chemo-magnetothermal immunotherapy of CRC. To further achieve oral delivery, MSR-CPT/APPs were ...
An oral nanomedicine elicits in situ vaccination effect against colorectal cancer
Zu, Menghang; Ma, Ya; Zhang, Jun; Sun, Jianfeng; Shahbazi, Mohammad-Ali; Pan, Guoqing; Reis, R. L.; Kundu, Subhas C; Liu, Jinyao; Xiao, BoOral administration is the most preferred approach for treating colon diseases, and in situ vaccination has emerged as a promising cancer therapeutic strategy. However, the lack of effective drug delivery platforms hampered the application of in situ vaccination strategy in oral treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we construct an oral coreâ shell nanomedicine by preparing a silk fibroin-based dual s...
Transient mild photothermia improves therapeutic performance of oral nanomedici...
Ma, Ya; Gou, Shuangquan; Zhu, Zhenhua; Sun, Jianfeng; Shahbazi, Mohammad-Ali; Si,Tieyan; Xu, Cheng; Ru, Jinlong; Shi, Xiaoxiao; Reis, R. L.The treatment outcomes of oral medications against ulcerative colitis (UC) have long been restricted by low drug accumulation in the colitis mucosa and subsequent unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy. Here, high-performance pluronic F127 (P127)-modified gold shell (AuS)-polymeric core nanotherapeutics loading with curcumin (CUR) is constructed. Under near-infrared irradiation, the resultant P127-AuS@CURs generat...
Oral exosome-like nanovesicles from Phellinus linteus suppress metastatic hepat...
Zu, Menghang; Liu, Ga; Chen, Nanxi; Chen, Li; Gao, Qiang; Reis, R. L.; Kundu, Subhas C; Jin, Meilan; Xiao, Bo; Shi, XiaoxiaoThe biomedical application of nanotechnology in cancer treatment has demonstrated significant potential for improving treatment efficiencies and ameliorating adverse effects. However, the medical translation of nanotechnology-based nanomedicines faces challenges including hazardous environmental effects, difficulties in large-scale production, and possible excessive costs. In the present study, we extracted and...
Gas-propelled nanomotors alleviate colitis through the regulation of intestinal...
Xiao, Bo; Liang, Yuqi; Liu, Ga; Wang, Lingshuang; Zhang, Zhan; Qiu, Libin; Xu, Haiting; Carr, Sean; Shi, Xiaoxiao; Reis, R. L.; Kundu, Subhas CThe progression of ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with immunologic derangement, intestinal hemorrhage, and microbiota imbalance. While traditional medications mainly focus on mitigating inflammation, it remains challenging to address multiple symptoms. Here, a versatile gas-propelled nanomotor was constructed by mild fusion of post-ultrasonic CaO2Â nanospheres with Cu2O nanoblocks. The resulting CaO2â Cu...
