Protein corona formation is critical for the design of ideal and safe nanoparticles (NPs) for nanomedicine, biosensing, organ targeting, and other applications, but methods to quantitatively predict the formation of the protein corona, especially for functional compositions, remain unavailable. The traditional linear regression model performs poorly for the protein corona, as measured by R2 (less than 0.40). Here, the performance with R2 over 0.75 in the prediction of the protein corona was achieved by integrating a machine learning model and meta-analysis. NPs without modification and surface modification were identified as the two most important factors determining protein corona formation. According to experimental verification, the functional protein compositions (e.g., immune proteins, complement proteins, and apolipoproteins) in complex coronas were precisely predicted with good R2 (most over 0.80). Moreover, the method successfully predicted the cellular recognition (e.g., cellular uptake by macrophages and cytokine release) mediated by functional corona proteins. This workflow provides a method to accurately and quantitatively predict the functional composition of the protein corona that determines cellular recognition and nanotoxicity to guide the synthesis and applications of a wide range of NPs by overcoming limitations and uncertainty.

This review summarizes the latest advances in nanoparticle (NP)–cell interactions. The influence of NP size, shape, shell structure, surface chemistry and protein corona formation on cellular uptake and cytotoxicity is highlighted in detail. Their impact on other cellular responses such as cell proliferation, differentiation and cellular mechanics is also discussed.

AbstractFollowing intravenous administration, an adsorbed corona of blood proteins immediately forms on the surfaces of nanocarriers to confer a distinct biological identity that dictates interactions with the immune system. While the nanocarrier surface chemistry has long been the focus of protein corona formation, the influence of the nanocarrier structure has remained unclear despite well-documented influences on biodistribution, clearance and inflammation. Here, we present design rules for the combined engineering of both nanocarrier structure and surface chemistry derived from a comprehensive proteomic analysis of protein corona formation in human blood. A library of nine soft PEGylated nanocarriers that differ in their combination of morphology (spheres, vesicles, and cylinders) and surface chemistry (methoxy, hydroxyl, and phosphate) were synthesized to represent properties of commonly employed drug delivery vehicles. Using label-free proteomics and high-throughput techniques, we examined the relationship between physicochemical properties and the resulting nanocarrier biological identity, including dynamic changes in protein corona composition, differential immunostimulation and uptake by relevant immune cell populations. In human blood, non-polar spherical micelles developed a similar biological identity to polar vesicles, whereas the identities of polar spheres and cylinders resembled that of non-polar vesicles. The formed protein coronas were compositionally dynamic and morphology-dependent, and these time-dependent fingerprints altered nanocarrier complement activation as well as their uptake by human monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. This comprehensive analysis provides mechanistic insights into rational design choices that impact nanocarrier fate in human blood.One Sentence SummaryWe demonstrate that not only the surface chemistry, but the combined chemical and structural properties of soft drug delivery vehicles impact the composition of blood proteins that adsorb to their surfaces, and these differences specify their interactions with and modulation of human immune cells.

Background: The host tropism determinants of influenza virus, which cause changes in the host range and increase the likelihood of interaction with specific hosts, are critical for understanding the infection and propagation of the virus in diverse host species. Methods: Six types of protein sequences of influenza viral strains isolated from three classes of hosts (avian, human, and swine) were obtained. Random forest, naïve Bayes classification, and knearest neighbor algorithms were used for host classification. The Java language was used for sequence analysis programming and identifying host-specific position markers. Results: A machine learning technique was explored to derive the physicochemical properties of amino acids used in host classification and prediction. HA protein was found to play the most important role in determining host tropism of the influenza virus, and the random forest method yielded the highest accuracy in host prediction. Conserved amino acids that exhibited host-specific differences were also selected and verified, and they were found to be useful position markers for host classification. Finally, ANOVA analysis and post-hoc testing revealed that the physicochemical properties of amino acids, comprising protein sequences combined with position markers, differed significantly among hosts. Conclusion: The host tropism determinants and position markers described in this study can be used in related research to classify, identify, and predict the hosts of influenza viruses that are currently susceptible or likely to be infected in the future.
