Bacteria-Responsive Self-Assembly of Antimicrobial Peptide Nanonets for Trap-and-Kill of Antibiotic-Resistant Strains

Bacterial trapping using nanonets is a ubiquitous immune defense mechanism against infectious microbes. These nanonets can entrap microbial cells, effectively arresting their dissemination and rendering them more vulnerable to locally secreted microbicides. Inspired by this evolutionarily conserved anti-infective strategy, a series of 15 to 16 residue-long synthetic β-hairpin peptides is herein constructed with the ability to self-assemble into nanonets in response to the presence of bacteria, enabling spatiotemporal control over microbial killing. Using amyloid-specific K114 assay and confocal microscopy, the membrane components lipoteichoic acid and lipopolysaccharide are shown to play a major role in determining the amyloid-nucleating capacity as triggered by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria respectively. These nanonets displayed both trapping and killing functionalities, hence offering a direct improvement from the trap-only biomimetics in literature. By substituting a single turn residue of the non-amyloidogenic BTT1 peptide, the nanonet-forming BTT1-3A analog is produced with comparable antimicrobial potency. With the same sequence manipulation approach, BTT2-4A analog modified from BTT2 peptide showed improved antimicrobial potency against colistin-resistant clinical isolates. The peptide nanonets also demonstrated robust stability against proteolytic degradation, and promising in vivo efficacy and biosafety profile. Overall, these bacteria-responsive peptide nanonets are promising clinical anti-infective alternatives for circumventing antibiotic resistance.     

Bioinspired Tumor Calcification Enables Early Detection and Elimination of Lung Cancer

Precise diagnosis of cancer in an early stage and treatments with a reliable response, high selectivity, and negligible side effects is urgently needed. However, current cancer management involves low-resolution metrics and delayed visual confirmation of tumor foci in imaging findings, and the toxicity of chemo- and radiotherapy unavoidably damages normal tissue and disrupts the immune balance of cancer patients. Here, a polypeptide is synthesized that preferentially targets lung cancer cells rather than normal lung epithelial cells and induces calcium precipitation specifically on the plasma membrane of lung cancer cells without additional supplementary calcium. Polypeptide-induced cellular calcification can ideally facilitate medical imaging for identifying early-stage lung cancer and distinguish cancer from benign nodules. Physiological and spontaneous calcification of tumors is induced by polypeptides and sharply prolongs the survival of tumor-bearing mice without evidence of systemic side effects. This tumor cell-selective calcification process provides an attractive, safe, and unprecedented approach for accurately visualizing and treating cancer in patients with early-stage disease in the clinic. It has broad implications in developing simple physiological reactions for diagnosing and treating cancer and provides a new horizon for drug discovery.

A Charge Reversible Self‐Delivery Chimeric Peptide with Cell Membrane‐Targeting Properties for Enhanced Photodynamic Therapy

The cell membrane is the most important protective barrier in living cells and cell membrane targeted therapy may be a high‐performance therapeutic modality for tumor treatment. Here, a novel charge reversible self‐delivery chimeric peptide C₁₆–PRP–DMA is developed for long‐term cell membrane targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT). The self‐assembled C₁₆–PRP–DMA nanoparticles can effectively target to tumor by enhanced permeability and retention effect without additional carriers. After undergoing charge reverse in acidic tumor microenvironment, C₁₆–PRP–DMA inserts into the tumor cell membrane with a long retention time of more than 14 h, which is very helpful for in vivo applications. It is found that under light irradiation, the reactive oxygen species generated by the inserted C₁₆–PRP–DMA would directly disrupt cell membrane and rapidly induce cell necrosis, which remarkably increases the PDT effect in vitro and in vivo. This novel self‐delivery chimeric peptide with a long‐term cell membrane targeting property provides a new prospect for effective PDT of cancer.     

Co‐delivery of Cell‐permeable Chimeric Apoptosis AVPIR8 Peptide/p53 DNA for Cocktail Therapy

The tetra‐peptide AVPI, derived from the Smac/DIABLO N‐terminal epitope, is able to trigger caspase activation and apoptotic process. However, its clinical value is greatly hampered by the nature of membrane‐impermeability. Herein, the cell‐penetrating chimeric apoptotic peptide of AVPIR₈ is synthesized, of which the apoptosis‐induced AVPI is strategically blended with the cell‐penetrating sequence of octaarginine (R₈). The dual‐functionalized AVPIR₈ is not only potent in inducing apoptosis in tumor cells due to the cell penetration ability, but also is able to work as gene carrier for transfering the tumor suppressor p53 DNA into cells, thus constructing a co‐delivery drug system (AVPIR₈/p53). Such system efficiently promotes apoptosis in cancer cells while sparing normal cells, and its antitumor activity is further significantly enhanced in combination with doxorubicin as cocktail therapy. More importantly, the anticancer efficacy of the cocktail is demonstrated to be able to arrest tumor growth in two animal tumor models (melanoma and cervical cancers), respectively. The chemotherapeutic dose in the AVPIR₈/p53‐based cocktail is significantly reduced by 80%, compared to the monotherapy of doxorubicin. The present results show the promise of the co‐delivered AVPIR₈/p53 as adjuvant therapy for boosting the conventional chemotherapeutics, with a unique benefit of enhanced productive treatment outcomes yet greatly reduced adverse toxicity.
