    Abstract Our lab demonstrated that intratumoral Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) is a potent antitumor immunotherapy when used as in situ vaccine. As we pave the way for human clinical translation, formulation chemistry needs to be optimized for long-term storage of the drug candidate. In this work, CPMV was nanoengineered with Pluronic F127 to realize liquid and gel formulations which mitigate structural changes and RNA release during long-term storage. We evaluated the CPMV-F127 formulations for their stability and biological activity through a combination of in vitro assays and efficacy in vivo using a B16F10 murine melanoma model. Results demonstrate that both F127 liquid and gel formulations preserve CPMV structure and function following extended periods of thermal incubation at 4°C, 25°C, and 37°C. Heat-incubated CPMV without formulation resulted in structural changes and inferior in vivo efficacy. In stark contrast, in vivo efficacy was preserved when CPMV was formulated and protected with the F127 "nanoarmor."

    Abstract Atherosclerosis is a progressive cardiovascular disease in which cholesterol-rich plaques build up within arteries, increasing the risk of thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and stroke. One promising therapeutic approach is the use of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) biomimetic formulations based on ApoAI peptides that promote cholesterol efflux from plaques, ultimately leading to cholesterol excretion. Here, we describe the multivalent display of ApoAI peptides on the surface of protein nanotubes derived from the plant virus tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and protein nanoparticles using virus-like particles from bacteriophage Qβ. Bioconjugation yielded ApoAI conjugates varying in size and morphology. We tested ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux using macrophage foam cells, the mitigation of reactive oxygen species in endothelial cells, and wound healing in endothelial cells. We found that the multivalent ApoAI platform, in particular the TMV-based nanotube, significantly improved the efficacy of cholesterol efflux compared to free peptides, Qβ nanoparticle formulations, and traditional HDL therapy. Finally, to better understand the mechanistic basis of enhanced cholesterol efflux, we used confocal microscopy to show that while native TMV was taken up by cells, TMV-ApoAI remained at the exterior of foam cell membranes and efflux was documented using fluorescent cholesterol. Together, these data highlight that high aspect ratio materials with multivalent display of ApoAI peptides offer unique capabilities promoting efficient cholesterol efflux and may find applications in cardiovascular therapy.

    Abstract Proteinaceous nanoparticles can be used to deliver large payloads of active ingredients, which is advantageous in medicine and agriculture. However, the conjugation of hydrophobic ligands to hydrophilic nanocarriers such as plant viral nanoparticles (plant VNPs) can result in aggregation by reducing overall solubility. Given the benefits of hydrophilic nanocarrier platforms for targeted delivery and multivalent ligand display, coupled with the versatility of hydrophobic drugs, contrast agents, and peptides, this is an issue that must be addressed to realize their full potential. Here, we report two preincubation strategies that use a Pluronic F127 polymer scaffold to prevent the aggregation of conjugated plant VNPs: a plant VNP-polymer precoat (COAT) and an active ingredient formulation combined with a plant VNP-polymer precoat (FORMCOAT). The broad applications of these modified conjugation strategies were highlighted by testing their compatibility with three types of bioconjugation chemistry:

    Abstract While heteroatom-centered radicals are understood to be highly electrophilic, their ability to serve as transient electron-withdrawing groups and facilitate polar reactions at distal sites has not been extensively developed. Here, we report a new strategy for the electronic activation of halophenols, wherein generation of a phenoxyl radical via formal homolysis of the aryl O-H bond enables direct nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the halide with carboxylate nucleophiles under mild conditions. Pulse radiolysis and transient absorption studies reveal that the neutral oxygen radical (O

    Abstract Tissue Doppler imaging is an essential echocardiographic technique for the non-invasive assessment of myocardial blood velocity. Image acquisition and interpretation are performed by trained operators who visually localise landmarks representing Doppler peak velocities. Current clinical guidelines recommend averaging measurements over several heartbeats. However, this manual process is both time-consuming and disruptive to workflow. An automated system for accurate beat isolation and landmark identification would be highly desirable. A dataset of tissue Doppler images was annotated by three cardiologist experts, providing a gold standard and allowing for observer variability comparisons. Deep neural networks were trained for fully automated predictions on multiple heartbeats and tested on tissue Doppler strips of arbitrary length. Automated measurements of peak Doppler velocities show good Bland-Altman agreement (average standard deviation of 0.40 cm/s) with consensus expert values; less than the inter-observer variability (0.65 cm/s). Performance is akin to individual experts (standard deviation of 0.40 to 0.75 cm/s). Our approach allows for > 26 times as many heartbeats to be analysed, compared to a manual approach. The proposed automated models can accurately and reliably make measurements on tissue Doppler images spanning several heartbeats, with performance indistinguishable from that of human experts, but with significantly shorter processing time. HIGHLIGHTS: • Novel approach successfully identifies heartbeats from Tissue Doppler Images • Accurately measures peak velocities on several heartbeats • Framework is fast and can make predictions on arbitrary length images • Patient dataset and models made public for future benchmark studies.

The COAT and FORMCOAT strategies promoted efficient bioconjugation and prevented the aggregation that accompanies conventional bioconjugation methods, thus improving the stability, homogeneity, and translational potential of plant VNP conjugates in medicine and agriculture.
