Revolutionizing Antibacterial Strategies: Lipid Nanoparticles as Game-Changers in Combatting Multi-Drug-Resistant Infections.

To overcome the limits of traditional antibiotic medications, novel approaches are needed to combat the growing global epidemic of Multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections. As drug-resistant bacteria develop, the importance of innovative antimicrobial methods is underscored by antibiotic abuse and misuse. The global threat of MDR microorganisms is increasing, which calls for a coordinated global response. Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) possess several characteristics that make them attractive choices for managing multidrug resistant (MDR) infections, as well as potential delivery systems for antimicrobial agents. Thus, LNPs improve drug solubility, stability, and targeted delivery, thereby mitigating the drawbacks of conventional antibiotic therapy. Several characteristics of LNPs, which stop MDR bacteria from developing resistance mechanisms, serve as guidelines for precision medicine. It presents a powerful approach for combating the growing concern of MDR bacteria by increasing Anti-Microbial Peptides (AMPs) bioavailability and targeting distribution to bacterial cells. LNPs have the potential to redefine antibacterial treatments for MDR illnesses in the context of this study. Further, it discusses LNP use in larger applications, such as fighting Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) and MDR. A complete understanding of the unique features, many uses, and importance of collaborative efforts to overcome the global challenge of antibiotic resistance are also conveyed in the study.

Development of Peptide Paratope Mimics Derived from the Anti-ROR1 Antibody and Long-Acting Peptide-Drug Conjugates for Targeted Cancer Therapy.

Antibody-based targeted therapy in cancer faces a challenge due to uneven antibody distribution in solid tumors, hindering effective drug delivery. We addressed this by developing peptide mimetics with nanomolar-range affinity for Receptor Tyrosine Kinase-Like Orphan Receptor 1 (ROR1) using computational methods. These peptides showed both specific targeting and deep penetration in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, we created peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) by linking targeting peptides to toxin drugs via various linkers and enhancing their in vivo half-life with fatty side chains for albumin binding. The antitumor candidate II-3 displayed exceptional affinity (KD = 1.72 × 10-9 M), internalization efficiency, anticancer potency (IC50 = 0.015 ± 0.002 μM), and pharmacokinetics (t1/2 = 2.6 h), showcasing a rational approach for designing PDCs with favorable tissue distribution and strong tumor penetration.

Dual-targeting liposomes modified with BTP-7 and pHA for combined delivery of TCPP and TMZ to enhance the anti-tumour effect in glioblastoma cells

Aim To construct a novel nano-carrier with dual ligands to achieve superior anti-tumour efficacy and lower toxic side effects. Methods Liposomes were prepared by thin film hydration method. Ultraviolet, high performance liquid chromatography, nano-size analyser, ultrafiltration centrifugation, dialysis, transmission electron microscope, flow cytometry, Cell Counting Kit-8, confocal laser scanning microscopy, transwell, and tumorsphere assay were used to study the characterisations, cytotoxicity, and in vitro targeting of dg-Bcan targeting peptide (BTP-7)/pHA-temozolomide (TMZ)/tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP)-Lip. Results BTP-7/pHA-TMZ/TCPP-Lip was a spheroid with a mean diameters of 143 ± 3.214 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.203 ± 0.025 and a surface charge of −22.8 ± 0.425 mV. The drug loadings (TMZ and TCPP) are 7.40 ± 0.23% and 2.05 ± 0.03% (mg/mg); and the encapsulation efficiencies are 81.43 ± 0.51% and 84.28 ± 1.64% (mg/mg). The results showed that BTP-7/pHA-TMZ/TCPP-Lip presented enhanced targeting and cytotoxicity. Conclusion BTP-7/pHA-TMZ/TCPP-Lip can specifically target the tumour cells to achieve efficient drug delivery, and improve the anti-tumour efficacy and reduces the systemic toxicity.

The detection of ACTH and insulin in equine plasma by solid-phase extraction and micro-flow LC/MSMS.

Previous liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) methods for the detection of insulin and other similar peptide hormones in equine plasma relied on the use of antibody affinity extraction. As a result, these methods were not suitable for routine high-throughput analysis. A solid-phase extraction (SPE) method incorporating size exclusion as well as reversed-phase interactions allows the selective extraction of peptide hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), insulin and their synthetic analogues from equine plasma with approximately 80% extraction efficiencies. This extraction was combined with on-column derivatisation with acetic anhydride, followed by tryptic digestion and analysis by micro-LC/MSMS for high-sensitivity peptide hormone detection. The analysis of tryptic peptides provides greater sensitivity and more robust chromatography compared with the analysis of intact insulin and ACTH. For quantitative analysis, isotopically labelled internal standards of target peptides can be prepared in the laboratory through the use of deuterated acetic anhydride. The utility of the method was assessed for the analysis of ACTH and insulin in samples from horses suffering from pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID).

Engineered extracellular vesicle-delivered TGF-β inhibitor for attenuating osteoarthritis by targeting subchondral bone

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that affects the entire joint. To treat OA, it may be beneficial to inhibit the activity of TGF-β in the subchondral bone. However, delivering drugs to the subchondral bone using conventional methods is challenging. In this study, we developed an extracellular vesicle delivery system. The utilization of macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles as a drug-carrying platform enables drugs to evade immune clearance and cross biological barriers. By incorporating targeting peptides on the surface of extracellular vesicles, the drug platform becomes targeted. The combination of these two factors results in the successful delivery of the drug to the subchondral bone. The study evaluated the stability, cytotoxicity, and bone targeting capability of the engineered extracellular vesicle platform (BT-EV-G). It also assessed the effects of BT-EV-G on the differentiation, proliferation, and migration of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Additionally, the researchers administered BT-EV-G to anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced OA mice. The results showed that BT-EV-G had low toxicity and high bone targeting ability both in vitro and in vivo. BT-EV-G can restore coupled bone remodeling in subchondral bone by inhibiting pSmad2/3-dependent TGF-β signaling. This work provides new insights into the treatment of OA.

A Comprehensive Review Of Potentiometric Biosensors

Potentiometry based on ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) has undergone a renaissance with improvements in the detection limits and selectivities of ISEs, the introduction of new materials, new sensing concepts (from conventional potentiometry to dynamic electrochemistry approaches), and deeper theoretical understanding and modelling of the potentiometric responses of ISEs. The most recent innovations support improvements in software for ion sensing and biosensing. Additionally, adaptable sensing techniques have been created for a wide range of various target molecules, including enzymes, antibodies, aptamers, and peptides, in response to the introduction of new receptors by using ISEs as powerful transducers. Current potentiometric biosensor trends are examined in this paper. Their applications in the biosensing of metal ions, small molecules, DNA, proteins, microorganisms, and poisons have been discussed. This review provides a forecast for potentiometric biosensing based on the integration of potentiometric ISEs with innovative materials and cutting-edge techniques.

Rejuvenation of Meropenem by Conjugation with Tilapia Piscidin-4 Peptide Targeting NDM-1 Escherichia coli.

Gram-negative pathogens that produce β-lactamases pose a serious public health threat as they can render β-lactam antibiotics inactive via hydrolysis. This action contributes to the waning effectiveness of clinical antibiotics and creates an urgent need for new antimicrobials. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exhibiting multimodal functions serve as a potential source in spite of a few limitations. Thus, the conjugation of conventional antibiotics with AMPs may be an effective strategy to leverage the advantages of each component. In this study, we conjugated meropenem to the AMP Tilapia piscidin 4 (TP4) using a typical coupling reaction. The conjugate was characterized by using HPLC-MS, HR-MS, and MS-MS fragmentation analysis. It was then evaluated in terms of antibacterial potency, hemolysis, and cytotoxicity toward RAW264.7 and CCD-966SK cell lines. The conjugation of meropenem with TP4 significantly reduced the cytotoxicity compared to TP4. Conjugation of unprotected TP4 with meropenem resulted in cross-linking at the N-terminal and lysine sites. The structural activity relationship of the two isomers of the TP4-meropenem conjugate was investigated. Both the isomers showed notable antibacterial activities against NDM-1 Escherichia coli and reduced red blood cell hemolysis as compared to TP4. Lysine conjugate (TP4-K-Mero) showed lesser hemolysis than the N-terminal conjugate (TP4-N-Mero). Molecular modeling further revealed that the conjugates can bind to lipopolysaccharides and inhibit NDM-1 β-lactamase. Together, these data show that conjugation of antibiotics with AMP can be a feasible approach to increase the therapeutic profile and effectively target multidrug-resistant pathogens. Furthermore, antibiotic conjugation at different AMP sites tends to show unique biological properties.

Identification of a mimotope of a complex gp41 Human Immunodeficiency VIrus epitope related to a non-structural protein of Hepacivirus previously implicated in Kawasaki disease.

We have previously isolated a highly mutated VH1-02 antibody termed group C 76-Q13-6F5 (6F5) that targets a conformational epitope on gp41. 6F5 has the capacity to mediate Ab dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC). When the VH1-02 group C 76 antibodies variable chain sequence was reverted to germline (76Canc), this still retained ADCC activity. Due to this ability for the 76Canc germline antibody to functionally target this epitope, we sought to identify a protein target for vaccine development. Initially, we interrogated peptide targeting by screening a microarray containing 29,127 linear peptides. Western blot and ELISAs were used to confirm binding and explore human serum targeting. Autoimmune targeting was further interrogated on a yeast-displayed human protein microarray. 76Canc specifically recognized a number of acidic peptides. Meme analysis identified a peptide sequence similar to a non-structural protein of Hepacivirus previously implicated in Kawasaki disease (KD). Binding was confirmed to top peptides, including the Hepacivirus-related and KD-related peptide. On serum competitions studies using samples from children with KD compared to controls, targeting of this epitope showed no specific correlation to having KD. Human protein autoantigen screening was also reassuring. This study identifies a peptide that can mimic the gp41 epitope targeted by 76C group antibodies (i.e. a mimotope). We show little risk of autoimmune targeting including any inflammation similar to KD, implying non-specific targeting of this peptide during KD. Development of such peptides as the basis for vaccination should proceed cautiously.

Expression and Subcellular Localization of Lanthipeptides in Human Cells.

Cyclic peptides, such as most ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), represent a burgeoning area of interest in therapeutic and biotechnological research because of their conformational constraints and reduced susceptibility to proteolytic degradation compared to their linear counterparts. Herein, an expression system is reported that enables the production of structurally diverse lanthipeptides and derivatives in mammalian cells. Successful targeting of lanthipeptides to the nucleus, the endoplasmic reticulum, and the plasma membrane is demonstrated. In vivo expression and targeting of such peptides in mammalian cells may allow for screening of lanthipeptide-based cyclic peptide inhibitors of native, organelle-specific protein-protein interactions in mammalian systems.

Investigating the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Potential of a T Cell Receptor (TCR)-like single Domain Antibody (sDAb)-Human IgG1 Antibody against Heat Shock Protein (HSP) 16KDa/HLA-A2 for Latent Tuberculosis.

Heat shock protein 16-kDa (HSP 16-kDa) is essential for the survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) during the latent period; hence, a peptide-MHC presentation of HSP 16-kDa could be a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for latent tuberculosis (LTB). This study aimed to generate a TCR-like single-domain antibody (sDAb)-human IgG1 antibody and subsequently investigate its diagnostic and therapeutic potential in LTB, utilizing a model cell presenting the target peptide. A previously generated TCR-like sDAB that can bind to HSP 16-kDa was first fused to a human IgG1 Fc-receptor via a linker. The fusion product, sDAb-IgG1, was expressed with HEK293-F and was subsequently purified. Its diagnostic potential was investigated via cell-based ELISA utilizing MCF-7 cells peptide-pulsed with HSP 16-kDa peptides. Investigation into the antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) of MCF-7 cells was also conducted to investigate its therapeutic potential. Finally, TCR-like sDAb-IgG1 was successfully produced transiently with HEK-293F and was purified using protein A chromatography. The generated antibody was tested using cell-based ELISA, which demonstrated the effective binding of the TCR-like sDAb-IgG1 to the 16-kDa peptide-MHC on the cell surface. The ADCC assay also showed that the antibody effectively mediated the ADCC of MCF-7 cells with the help of 16-kDa peptide-MHC. This allows us to hypothesize the possible utility of the said antibody for both diagnostics and therapeutics of latent tuberculosis after more investigations with clinical samples.

Modular binder technology by NGS-aided, high-resolution selection in yeast of designed armadillo modules

Establishing modular binders as diagnostic detection agents represents a cost- and time-efficient alternative to the commonly used binders that are generated one molecule at a time. In contrast to these conventional approaches, a modular binder can be designed in silico from individual modules to, in principle, recognize any desired linear epitope without going through a selection and hit-validation process, given a set of preexisting, amino acid-specific modules. Designed armadillo repeat proteins (dArmRP) have been developed as modular binder scaffolds, and we report here the generation of highly specific dArmRP modules by yeast surface display selection, performed on a rationally designed dArmRP library. A selection strategy was developed to distinguish the binding difference resulting from a single amino acid mutation in the target peptide. Our reverse-competitor strategy introduced here employs the designated target as a competitor to increase the sensitivity when separating specific from cross-reactive binders that show similar affinities for the target peptide. With this switch in selection focus from affinity to specificity, we found that the enrichment during this specificity sort is indicative of the desired phenotype, regardless of the binder abundance. Hence, deep sequencing of the selection pools allows retrieval of phenotypic hits with only 0.1% abundance in the selectivity sort pool from the next-generation sequencing data alone. In a proof-of-principle study, a binder was created by replacing all corresponding wild-type modules with a newly selected module, yielding a binder with very high affinity for the designated target that has been successfully validated as a detection agent in western blot analysis.

Inhibition of CSPG-PTPσ Activates Autophagy Flux and Lysosome Fusion, Aids Axon and Synaptic Reorganization in Spinal Cord Injury.

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) and proteoglycan receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase σ (PTPσ) play a critical role in the pathology of spinal cord injury (SCI). CSPGs can be induced by autophagy inhibition in astrocyte. However, CSPG's impact on autophagy and its role in SCI is still unknown. We investigate intracellular sigma peptide (ISP) targeting PTPσ, its effects on autophagy, and synaptic reorganization in SCI. We found that ISP increased the level of autophagosome marker LC3B-II/I and decreased autophagosome degradation marker p62 in SCI, suggesting activated autophagy flux. ISP restored autophagosome-lysosome fusion-related protein syntaxin 17 (STX17) and lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2), indicating activated autophagosome-lysosome fusion. ISP increased pre-synaptic marker synaptophysin (SYN) and postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95) expression and improved excitatory synapse marker vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (VGLUT1) and SYN in SCI, suggesting improved synaptic reorganization. ISP promoted axon marker neurofilament and growth-related GAP-43 expression in SCI. ISP rescued a preserved number of motor neurons and improved neurobehavioral recovery after SCI. Our study extended the CSPG-PTPσ inhibition role in activating autophagy flux, axon and synaptic reorganization, and functional recovery in SCI.

L-proline determination by molecularly imprinted nanoparticles: A potential nanoscale tool for the diagnosis of metabolic disorders

Detecting and quantifying amino acids is vital in biochemical analyses, especially for diagnosing metabolic disorders. L-proline, among these amino acids, holds significant relevance for various metabolic disorders in living organisms, particularly in humans. hyperprolinemia arises when ineffective breakdown of L-proline occurs due to enzyme deficiencies, leading to its accumulation in the body and underscoring the need for precise monitoring. To address this challenge, molecular imprinting offers a reliable single-step technique for detecting target molecules like proteins, peptides, amino acids, or ions with high selectivity. Moreover, nanoparticles, with significant surface area-to-volume ratios, enable high-level mass transfer and binding kinetics, making them ideal for nano-scale sensitive applications. In this study, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-based molecularly imprinted nanoparticles were synthesized via mini-emulsion polymerization, combining the advantages of molecular imprinting technique and nanoparticles for the specific recognition of L-proline, and were well-characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy, zeta-sizer particle size analysis, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Based on zeta-sizer analysis, the estimated diameters of L-proline-imprinted and non-imprinted nanoparticles (Pro-MIPs and NIPs) were determined to be approximately 27.51 nm and 20.66 nm, respectively. The adsorption of L-proline onto nanoparticles from aqueous solutions was investigated in a batch system, and the maximum L-proline adsorption capacity was determined to be 26.58 mg/g for Pro-MIPs and 4.65 mg/g for and NIPs. The selectivity of Pro-MIPs was assessed using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry, even in human serum and in the presence of competing molecules (L-histidine and L-phenylalanine). Additionally, Pro-MIPs maintained their adsorption capacity through up to 10 adsorption-desorption cycles without significant decrease.

Targeted delivery of type I TGF-β receptor-mimicking peptide to fibrotic kidney for improving kidney fibrosis therapy via enhancing the inhibition of TGF-β1/Smad and p38 MAPK pathways

Renal fibrosis is a representative pathological feature of various chronic kidney diseases, and efficient treatment is needed. Interstitial myofibroblasts are a key driver of kidney fibrosis, which is dependent on the binding of TGF-β1 to type I TGF-β receptor (TβRI) and TGF-β1-related signaling pathways. Therefore, attenuating TGF-β1 activity by competing with TGF-β1 in myofibroblasts is an ideal strategy for treating kidney fibrosis. Recently, a novel TβRI-mimicking peptide RIPΔ demonstrated a high affinity for TGF-β1. Thus, it could be speculated that RIPΔ may be used for anti-fibrosis therapy. Platelet-derived growth factor β receptor (PDGFβR) is highly expressed in fibrotic kidney. In this study, we found that target peptide Z-RIPΔ, which is RIPΔ modified with PDGFβR-specific affibody ZPDGFβR, was specifically and highly taken up by TGF-β1-activated NIH3T3 fibroblasts. Moreover, Z-RIPΔ effectively inhibited the myofibroblast proliferation, migration and fibrosis response in vitro. In vivo and ex vivo experiments showed that Z-RIPΔ specifically targeted fibrotic kidney, improved the damaged renal function, and ameliorated kidney histopathology and renal fibrosis in UUO mice. Mechanistic studies showed that Z-RIPΔ hold the stronger inhibition of the TGF-β1/Smad and TGF-β1/p38 pathways than unmodified RIPΔ in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, systemic administration of Z-RIPΔ to UUO mice led to minimal toxicity to major organs. Taken together, RIPΔ modified with ZPDGFβR increased its therapeutic efficacy and reduced its systemic toxicity, making it a potential candidate for targeted therapy for kidney fibrosis.

Carbon nanotubes functionalized with α-aminoisobutyric acid-containing peptide increase gene delivery efficiency in plant mitochondria

Functionalized carbon nanotubes have shown tremendous promise in the field of plant biotechnology for genetic engineering and cargo delivery; recent findings have shown that they can be delivered within specific organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, in intact plants. 2-Aminoisobutyric acid is an unnatural amino acid that promotes helical conformation and has been demonstrated to increase membrane permeability. Rational substitution of this amino acid into a mitochondrial targeting peptide induced a helical conformation that, when functionalized onto polymer-coated carbon nanotubes, conferred increased membrane permeability compared with that of the native peptide. The secondary structure was maintained on the surface and, when used to deliver pDNA, led to an increase in gene expression, suggesting that this method may be used to enhance the delivery efficiency of existing functional peptides.

Wideband PRM: Highly Accurate and Sensitive Method for High-Throughput Targeted Proteomics.

Targeted mass spectrometry (MS) approaches, which are powerful methods for uniquely and confidently quantifying a specific panel of proteins in complex biological samples, play a crucial role in validating and clinically translating protein biomarkers discovered through global proteomic profiling. Common targeted MS methods, such as multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and parallel-reaction monitoring (PRM), employ specific mass spectrometric technologies to quantify protein levels by comparing the transitions of surrogate endogenous (ENDO) peptides with those of stable isotope-labeled (SIL) peptide counterparts. These methods utilizing amino acid analyzed (AAA) SIL peptides warrant sensitive and precise measurements required for targeted MS assays. Compared with MRM, PRM provides higher experimental throughput by simultaneously acquiring all transitions of the target peptides and thereby compensates for different ion suppressions among transitions of a target peptide. However, PRM still suffers different ion suppressions between ENDO and SIL peptides due to spray instability, as the ENDO and SIL peptides were monitored at different liquid chromatography (LC) retention times. Here we introduce a new targeted MS method, termed wideband PRM (WBPRM), that is designed for high-throughput targeted MS analysis. WBPRM employs a wide isolation window for simultaneous fragmentation of both ENDO and SIL peptides along with multiplexed single ion monitoring (SIM) scans for enhanced MS sensitivity of the target peptides. Compared with PRM, WBPRM was demonstrated to provide increased sensitivity, precision, and reproducibility of quantitative measurements of target peptides with increased throughput, allowing more target peptide measurements in a shortened experiment time. WBPRM is a straightforward adaptation to a manufacturer-provided MS method, making it an easily implementable technique, particularly in complex biological samples where the demand for higher precision, sensitivity, and efficiency is paramount.

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor-Loaded Low-Temperature-Sensitive liposomes as a drug delivery system for repairing podocyte damage

Podocytes, cells of the glomerular filtration barrier, play a crucial role in kidney diseases and are gaining attention as potential targets for new therapies. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) has shown promising results in repairing podocyte damage, but its efficacy via parenteral administration is limited by a short half-life. Low temperature sensitive liposomes (LTSL) are a promising tool for targeted BDNF delivery, preserving its activity after encapsulation. This study aimed to improve LTSL design for efficient BDNF encapsulation and targeted release to podocytes, while maintaining stability and biological activity, and exploiting the conjugation of targeting peptides. While cyclic RGD (cRGD) was used for targeting endothelial cells in vitro, a homing peptide (HITSLLS) was conjugated for more specific uptake by glomerular endothelial cells in vivo. BDNF-loaded LTSL successfully repaired cytoskeleton damage in podocytes and reduced albumin permeability in a glomerular co-culture model. cRGD conjugation enhanced endothelial cell targeting and uptake, highlighting an improved therapeutic effect when BDNF release was induced by thermoresponsive liposomal degradation. In vivo, targeted LTSL showed evidence of accumulation in the kidneys, and their BDNF delivery decreased proteinuria and ameliorated kidney histology. These findings highlight the potential of BDNF-LTSL formulations in restoring podocyte function and treating glomerular diseases.

Progress in Core-Shell Magnetic Mesoporous Materials for Enriching Post-Translationally Modified Peptides.

Endogenous peptides, particularly those with post-translational modifications, are increasingly being studied as biomarkers for diagnosing various diseases. However, they are weakly ionizable, have a low abundance in biological samples, and may be interfered with by high levels of proteins, peptides, and other macromolecular impurities, resulting in a high limit of detection and insufficient amounts of post-translationally modified peptides in real biological samples to be examined. Therefore, separation and enrichment are necessary before analyzing these biomarkers using mass spectrometry. Mesoporous materials have regular adjustable pores that can eliminate large proteins and impurities, and their large specific surface area can bind more target peptides, but this may result in the partial loss or destruction of target peptides during centrifugal separation. On the other hand, magnetic mesoporous materials can be used to separate the target using an external magnetic field, which improves the separation efficiency and yield. Core-shell magnetic mesoporous materials are widely utilized for peptide separation and enrichment due to their biocompatibility, efficient enrichment capability, and excellent recoverability. This paper provides a review of the latest progress in core-shell magnetic mesoporous materials for enriching glycopeptides and phosphopeptides and compares their enrichment performance with different types of functionalization methods.
