description | Optimizing the biological identity of nanoparticles (NPs) for efficient tumor uptake remains challenging. The controlled formation of a protein corona on NPs through protein absorption from biofluids could favor a biological identity that enables tumor accumulation. To increase the diversity of proteins absorbed by NPs, sera derived from Influenza A virus (IAV)-infected mice were used to pre-coat NPs formed using a hyperbranched polyester polymer (HBPE-NPs). HBPE-NPs, encapsulating a tracking dye or cancer drug, were treated with sera from days 3–6 of IAV infection (VS3-6), and uptake of HBPE-NPs by breast cancer cells was examined. Cancer cells demonstrated better uptake of HBPE-NPs pre-treated with VS3-6 over polyethylene glycol (PEG)-HBPE-NPs, a standard NP surface modification. The uptake of VS5 pre-treated HBPE-NPs by monocytic cells (THP-1) was decreased over PEG-HBPE-NPs. VS5-treated HBPE-NPs delivered a cancer drug more efficiently and displayed better <i>in vivo</i> distribution over controls, remaining stable even after interacting with endothelial cells. Using a proteomics approach, proteins absorbed from sera-treated HBPE-NPs were identified, such as thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), that could bind multiple cancer cell receptors. Our findings indicate that serum collected during an immune response to infection is a rich source of macromolecules that are absorbed by NPs and modulate their biological identity, achieving rationally designed uptake by targeted cell types. |
