The potential of mRNA is, however, frequently limited by modest control over site of transfection. Here, we have explored a library of multivalent ionizable lipid-polypeptides (MILP) to achieve robust mRNA complexation and tumor-confined transfection. Leveraging the multivalent electrostatic, hydrophobic, and H-bond interactions, MILP efficiently packs both mRNA and plasmid DNA into sub-80 nm nanoparticles that are stable against lyophilization and long-term storage. The best MILP@mRNA complexes afford 8-fold more cellular uptake than SM-102 lipid nanoparticle formulation (SM-102 LNP), efficient endosomal disruption, and high transfection in different cells. Interestingly, MILP@mLuc displays exclusive tumor residence and distribution via multivalency-directed strong affinity and transcytosis, and affords specific protein expression in tumor cells and macrophages at tumor sites following intratumoral injection, in sharp contrast to the indiscriminate distribution and transfection in main organs of SM-102 LNP. Notably, MILP@mIL-12 with specific and efficient cytokine expression generates significant remodeling of tumor immunoenvironments and remarkable antitumor response in subcutaneous Lewis lung carcinoma and 4T1 tumor xenografts. MILP provides a unique strategy to site-specific transfection that may greatly broaden the applications of mRNA.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8762,"journal":{"name":"Bioactive Materials","volume":"46 ","pages":"Pages 423-433"},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11754973/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143027563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, they often face limitations due to the uncontrollable phase transition of gelatin, which is dominated by hydrogen bonds between peptide chains. Here, we developed controllable phase transition gelatin-based (CPTG) bioadhesives by regulating the dynamic balance of hydrogen bonds between the peptide chains using 2-hydroxyethylurea (HU) and punicalagin (PA). These CPTG bioadhesives exhibited significant enhancements in adhesion energy and injectability even at 4 °C compared to traditional gelatin bioadhesives. The developed bioadhesives could achieve self-reinforcing interfacial adhesion upon contact with moist wound tissues. This effect was attributed to HU diffusion, which disrupted the dynamic balance of hydrogen bonds and therefore induced a localized structural densification. This process was further facilitated by the presence of pyrogallol from PA. Furthermore, the CPTG bioadhesive could modulate the immune microenvironment, offering antibacterial, antioxidant, and immune-adjustable properties, thereby accelerating diabetic wound healing, as confirmed in a diabetic wound rat model. This proposed design strategy is not only crucial for developing controllable phase-transition bioadhesives for diverse applications, but also paves the way for broadening the potential applications of gelatin-based biomaterials.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8762,"journal":{"name":"Bioactive Materials","volume":"46 ","pages":"Pages 434-447"},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11755075/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143027934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of the ECM of hASCs CS following cryogenic and hypothermic preservation for 3 and 7 days, was conducted. Although proteomic analysis indicated that cryopreservation had no significant effect on the overall composition of the ECM, it induced significant ECM structural alterations, particularly disrupting collagen organization, which was not observed following hypothermic preservation. These structural changes were accompanied by alterations in mechanical properties, including a reduction in elastic modulus. In contrast, hypothermic preservation maintained ECM integrity and mechanical properties similar to the control.
