Nanoscale objects lose their original identity once in contact with biological fluids and get a new biological identity, referred to as a protein corona (PC). The PC modifies many of the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles (NPs), including surface charge, size, and aggregation state. These changes, in turn, affect the biological fate of NPs, including their biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic efficacy. It is well known that even small differences in the composition of a protein source (e.g., plasma and serum) can considerably change the composition of the corona formed on the surface of the same NPs. Recently, it has been shown that the PC is intensely affected by the patient's specific disease. Consequently, the same nanomaterial incubated with proteins of biological fluids belonging to patients with different pathologies adsorbs protein coronas with different compositions, giving rise to the concept of the personalized protein corona (PPC). Herein, we review recent advances on the topic of PPC, with a particular focus on their clinical significance.
纳米物体一旦与生物流体接触,就会失去其原有身份,并获得新的生物学身份,即所谓的蛋白质冠(PC)。PC 改变了许多纳米粒子(NPs)的物理化学性质,包括表面电荷、大小和聚集状态。这些变化反过来又会影响 NPs 的生物学命运,包括它们的生物分布、药代动力学和治疗效果。众所周知,即使蛋白质来源(例如血浆和血清)的组成有微小差异,也会极大地改变同一 NPs 表面形成的冠的组成。最近已经表明,PC 受到患者特定疾病的强烈影响。因此,用来自患有不同病理的患者的生物流体中的蛋白质孵育的相同纳米材料会吸附具有不同组成的蛋白质冠,从而产生个性化蛋白质冠(PPC)的概念。在此,我们综述了 PPC 这一主题的最新进展,特别关注其临床意义。
