This study leverages machine learning techniques supported by high-throughput computations to effectively design nanozymes with multi-enzyme activities and to elucidate their reaction mechanisms. Additionally, it investigates the impact of dopants on the microphysical properties of nanozymes. We constructed a machine learning prediction framework tailored for dopant nanozymes exhibiting catalytic activities like to oxidase (OXD) and peroxidase (POD). This framework was used to evaluate key catalytic performance parameters, such as formation energy, density of states (DOS), and adsorption energy, through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Various machine learning models were employed to predict the effects of different doping element ratios on the catalytic activity and stability of nanozymes. The results indicate that the combination of machine learning with high-throughput computations significantly accelerates the design and optimization of dopant nanozymes, providing an efficient strategy to address the complexities of nanozyme design.

Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach to enhance therapeutic efficacy; however, they often face hurdles such as inadequate cellular uptake and rapid lysosomal degradation. This study explores the potential of iontophoresis to augment the efficacy of liposome and immunoliposome-based drug delivery systems for SCC treatment. The study assessed iontophoresis effects on SCC cell line (A431) viability, nanoparticle uptake dynamics, and intracellular distribution patterns. Specific inhibitors were employed to delineate cellular internalization pathways, while fluorescence microscopy and immunohistochemistry examined changes in EGFR expression and lysosomal activity. Results demonstrated that iontophoresis significantly increased cellular uptake of liposomes and immunoliposomes, achieving approximately 50 % uptake compared to 10 % with passive treatment. This enhancement correlated with modifications in endocytic pathways, favoring macropinocytosis and caveolin-mediated endocytosis for liposomes, and macropinocytosis and clathrin-mediated pathways for immunoliposomes. Moreover, iontophoresis induced alterations in EGFR distribution and triggered syncytium-like cellular clustering. It also attenuated lysosomal activity, thereby reducing nanoparticle degradation and prolonging intracellular retention of therapeutic agents. These findings underscore the role of iontophoresis in modulating nanoparticle internalization pathways, offering insights that could advance targeted drug delivery strategies and mitigate therapeutic resistance in SCC and other malignancies.</p>","PeriodicalId":279,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces","volume":"248 ","pages":"114459"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142875661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
