08:30 Invited Lecture. Probing the Environmental Effects of Oxide NanomaterialsAuthors : Stanislaus S. WongAffiliations : Department of Chemistry, SUNY Stony Brook, Stony Brook, NY 117943400 and Materials and Chemical Sciences Department, Building 480, BrookhavenNational Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973; [email protected] : The use of any material for practical applications engenders risk.What is important is to understand what constitutes an acceptable level of risk.For nanomaterials, the key point is in determining whether a substance isinherently toxic and under what specific circumstances, it can be particularlyharmful. In a number of cellular studies, our group has found that the toxicity ofa nanomaterial is often a function not only of its actual chemical compositionbut also of its size and shape. In a first example, we evaluated the cytotoxicity ofvarious morphological classes of TiO2 nanostructures (including 0Dnanoparticles, 1D nanorods, and 3D assemblies) to cells. These TiO2nanostructures were modified with fluorescent dye molecules, mediated via adopamine linkage, in order to facilitate a confocal study of their internalization.Specifically, we noted that both TiO2 1D nanorods and 0D nanoparticles couldinternalize into cells after 24 h of incubation time. However, only incubationwith TiO2 1D nanorods and 3D micronscale sea urchinlike assemblies atconcentrations of up to 125 g/mL yielded data suggestive of cell viabilities ofclose to 100 %. Moreover, upon irradiation with UV light for periods of a fewminutes at energy densities of up to 1 J/cm2, we observed up to 60 % mortalityrates, indicative of the cytotoxic potential of photoirradiated TiO2 nanostructuresdue to the generation of reactive oxygen species. In a second example, weanalyzed tungstate nanoparticles, which have been used in numerouscommercial products, including but not limited to scintillator detectors andfluorescent lighting. We tested the hypothesis that tungstate nanoparticlecellular exposure would result in reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation andcytotoxicity. We also hypothesized that differences in toxicity would occur basedon tungstate nanoparticle size, shape (sphere vs. wire), and chemicalcharacteristics. RAW 264.7 mouse monocyte macrophages were treated withtungstate nanoparticles and ROS formation was assessed via Electron SpinResonance (ESR) and several assays (hydrogen peroxide, intracellular ROS, andComet). Results showed ROS production induced by tungstate nanowireexposure, as well as DNA damage induced by tungstate nanospheres. Cells weretreated for over 72 hours to assess cytotoxicity using an MTT assay. Resultsshowed that differences in cell death between wires and spheres occurred at 24hours, but were minimal at both 48 and 72 hours. The present results implythat tungstate nanowires are capable of inducing ROS and cell death within 24

effectiveness. Enhancing such vehicles with release triggers – such asnanoparticles – has become an increasingly popular approach to overcome thisrestraint. Developing such hybrids however requires an interdisciplinary bottomup approach which starts from basic chemical synthesis over precise microscopiccharacterization to biological testing. In our research group, we are specializedon the synthesis and characterization nanoparticles, with a strong emphasis onsuperparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles/SPIONs and gold nanorods/AuNRs.Their responsiveness to stimuli – such as a magnetic field or infrared light, whichwe test under clinically tolerable conditions – can be tuned by adapting thesynthetic procedures to the required needs. We then combine thesenanomaterials with thermoresponsive liposomes, either by incorporating themdirectly in the vesicle bilayer (via selfassembly) or by functionalizing them tothe surface (via crosslinking). The nanoparticles then act as thermoregulatorsof the lipid membrane and can consequently modulate the release of anencapsulated drug. To understand and optimize our systems, we characterizethese nanoscopic hybrids with stateoftheart cryogenic microscopy techniquesto assess their structural and architectural properties under unadulteratedconditions. With this research, we hope to contribute to the development ofnextgeneration drug carriers by providing effective, wellcharacterized andreliable materials which are tailored to medical settings.

11:00 Invited Lecture. Small Interfering RNA Drug Delivery: Challenges and OurStrategiesAuthors : Yan Li, Xin ZHANG*Affiliations : National Key Laboratory of Biochemical Engineering, Institute of ProcessEngineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CHINA, [email protected] : Gene silencing via RNA interference (RNAi) has been demonstratedas a great potential therapeutic agent for cancer treatment. The emerging RNAitherapy delivers genesilencing RNAs to the cytoplasm where they recognize anddegrade the complementary target mRNA in a sequencespecific manner at aposttranscriptional level. However, safe and efficient transduction of siRNAs totarget tissues and cells remains a major challenge for clinical trials. Therefore,we have developed several functional lipidbased nanoparticles as carriers forsiRNA delivery to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above. For instance,many kinds of nanosized cationic delivery systems have been developed forsiRNAs delivery via electrostatic interaction, such as cationic polymers, cationiclipids and so on. However, due to low charge density and stiff backbonestructure, siRNA with 2123 bp nucleotides has inherently poor binding ability tocationic polymers and lipid carriers, which results in low siRNA loading efficiency.In order to achieve high loading efficiency for gene transfection, cationicpolymers and lipids must be used in an excess amount, whereas they oftenexhibit severe cytotoxicity. In this study, we report chemically conjugatedsiPlk1phospholipids enveloped hybrid nanoparticles (siPlk1PCNPs) for siRNAdelivery to overcome the siRNA’s stiff backbone structures and enhance siRNAloading efficiency.

ChuAffiliations : Department of Physics & Materials Science, City University of Hong Kong,Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China; Institute of Chemical Biology andPharmaceutical Chemistry, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310028, China;[email protected] : Gene therapy is promising in treating many hereditary or acquireddiseases. It is crucial to develop safe and efficient gene carriers to efficientlydeliver the genetic materials to the targeted cells with minimal toxicity.Polyethylenimine (PEI) is a widely used cationic polymer in gene deliverysystems, but it is difficult to achieve both good therapeutic effects and lowtoxicity. It is well known that metallic elements play vital roles in biologicalsystems and activities. In this work, the cationic polymer, βcyclodextrinpolyethylenimine (PEICyD), is fabricated with low molecular weight PEI (600Da)crosslinked by βcyclodextrin (βCyD) and then doped with a rareearth element,

neodymium (Nd) by a plasma process to produce a new type of gene vector,Nd@PEICyD, for potential cancer therapy. Luciferase expression and EGFPtransfection experiments performed in vitro reveal that Nd@PEICyD hassignificantly higher transfection efficiency than lipofectamine 2000 and PEICyD.Our results also show that the rareearth element, Nd, stimulates the energymetabolism of cells to produce more ATP, enhances cell uptake by increasing thecaveolin expression, and regulates the cellular pathways by adjusting thecalmodulin. Our results suggest a new strategy to prepare highly effectivemetalincorporated nonviral gene vectors.

11:40 Invited Keynote Presentation. Regenerated silk fibroin / graphene oxide hybridartificial silksAuthors : Chao Zhang, Jingru Shi, Tingting Fang, Huili Shao, Xuechao Hu, YaopengZhang*Affiliations : State Key Laboratory for Modification of Chemical Fibers and PolymerMaterials, College of Materials Science and Engineering, Donghua University, Shanghai201620, China; [email protected] : Regenerated silk fibroin (RSF)/graphene oxide (GO) hybrid silk fiberswere dryspun from a mixed dope of GO suspension and RSF aqueous solution.The rheological properties of the RSF/GO spinning dope were varying with theGO content. Synchrotron Radiation Wide Angle Xray Diffraction and FTIR resultsshowed that the addition of GO could confine the crystallization of silk fibroinwhich lead to the decrease of crystallinity, the smaller crystallite size and moreformation of interphase zones in the artificial silks. Synchrotron Radiation SmallAngle Xray Scattering were also applied in the hybrid silks and hybrid solutionsto study the interphase zones formed by the complex interaction between silkfibroin and GO flakes. An outstanding reinforcement was observed for the dryspun hybrid silk fibers, of which the breaking stress reached 341.5 MPa.

12:00 Invited Lecture. Natural nano or micro polysaccharide fibers in biopolyestersmatricesAuthors : MariaBeatrice Coltelli 1, Vu Thanh Phuong 2, Vito Gigante 1, Sara Salvadori 3,Patrizia Cinelli 3, Andrea Lazzeri 1Affiliations : 1. University of Pisa, Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering, ViaDiotisalvi 2, 56126, Pisa, Italy 2. Can Tho University, Department of ChemicalEngineering, 3/2 Street, Can Tho City, Vietnam 3. National Interuniversity Consortium ofMaterials Science and Technology (INSTM), Via G. Giusti, 9, 50121 Firenze, Italy;[email protected] : Biodegradable polyesters, such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA), are widelyinvestigated for their potential applications in many sectors. The improvement oftheir properties can be achieved by blending biopolyesters with differentpolymers [1] or by dispersing reinforcing fibers. Natural cellulose fibers, alsocoming from forest waste streams, can be dispersed in a PLA based blendobtaining an improved level of fiber/matrix adhesion if a reactive extrusionmethod is selected for their preparation. As a result of the comparison amongdifferent commercial or waste fibers, it was evidenced that the final mechanicalproperties can be modulated by properly selecting the geometrical features offibers, correlated to their origin, keeping also into account the effect ofprocessing onto fibers characteristics. A renewable feedstock on a worldwidescale is chitin waste material from the seafood industry, exceeding 25 billiontons/year. Recently, it has become possible to produce pure chitin crystals,named ?chitin nanofibrils? for their needlelike shape and nanostructuredaverage size. These nanofillers can be also used to obtain biopolyesters basednanocomposites. 1. Phuong VT, Coltelli MB, Cinelli P, Cifelli M, Verstichel S,Lazzeri A. Polymer 2014; 55(12): 4498513 2.
