Surface peptide functionalization of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 for autonomous homing and enhanced delivery of chemotherapeutic agent to lung tumor cells by Nurul Akmarina, Mohd Abdul Kamal, Emilia, Abdulmalek, Sharida, Fakurazi, Cordova, Kyle E., Mohd Basyaruddin, Abdul Rahman

“…Most importantly, this surface-functionalized nanoparticle was more selective towards lung cancer cells (A549) than normal human lung fibroblast cells (MRC-5) with a selectivity index (SI) of 3.98. This work demonstrates a new one-pot strategy for realizing a surface-functionalized zeolitic imidazolate framework that actively targets cancer cells via an autonomous homing peptide system to deliver a chemotherapeutic payload effectively.…”

Dissolution and biological assessment of cancer-targeting nano-ZIF-8 in zebrafish embryos by Nurul Akmarina, Mohd Abdul Kamal, Emilia, Abdulmalek, Sharida, Fakurazi, Cordova, Kyle E.

“…Monitoring malformation showed minimal adverse effects with only 8.3% of edema at 62.5 μg mL–1. This study indicates that cancer-targeting GEM⊂RGD@nZIF, with its pH-responsive behavior for sustaining chemotherapeutic dissolution in a physiologically relevant environment and its non-toxicity toward the healthy embryos within the tested concentrations, has considerable potential for use in cancer treatment.…”

Integrated Assessment of Diclofenac Biotransformation, Pharmacokinetics, and Omics-Based Toxicity in a Three-Dimensional Human Liver-Immunocompetent Coculture System by Large, Emma, Hughes, David J., Sarkar, Ujjal, Ravindra, Kodihalli C., Young, Carissa L., Rivera-Burgos, Dinelia, Yu, Jiajie, Cirit, Murat, Wishnok, John S, Lauffenburger, Douglas A, Griffith, Linda G, Tannenbaum, Steven R

“…Kupffer cell–mediated cytokine release recapitulated an in vivo proinflammatory response exemplified by a cohort of 11 cytokines that were differentially regulated after lipopolysaccharide induction, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-6, IL-8, IP-10, tumor necrosis factor-α, RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, macrophage colony-stimulating factor, macrophage inflammatory protein-1β, and IL-5. In summary, our findings indicate that three-dimensional liver microphysiological systems may serve as preclinical investigational platforms from the perspective of the discovery of a set of clinically relevant biomarkers including potential reactive metabolites, endogenous bile acids, excreted proteins, and cytokines to predict early drug-induced liver toxicity in humans.…”

An encoding scheme capturing generic priors and properties of amino acids improves protein classification by Zhou, Xinrui, Yin, Rui, Zheng, Jie, Kwoh, Chee-Keong

“…Compared with the traditional methods using task-specific designed features, CFreeEnS improves the predicting accuracy, with an increase ranging from 5.54% to 14.14%. The results indicate that the improved CFreeEnS, free from dependence on carefully designed features, is promising in capturing generic priors and essential properties of amino acids, thereby serving as an automated feature engineering method for protein sequences.…”

Scaffold-mediated non-viral delivery platform for CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing by Chin, Jiah Shin, Chooi, Wai Hon, Wang, Hongxia, Ong, William, Leong, Kam W., Chew, Sing Yian

“…To evaluate the genome-editing efficiency of this platform, U2OS.EGFP cells were used as the model cell type. pDOPA coating was essential in allowing Cas9:sgRNA lipofectamine complexes to adhere onto the scaffolds with a higher loading efficiency, while laminin coating was necessary for maintaining cell viability and proliferation on the pDOPA-coated fibers for effective gene editing (21.5% editing efficiency, p < 0.001). Importantly, U2OS.EGFP cells took up Cas9:sgRNA lipofectamine complexes directly from the scaffolds via reverse transfection. …”
