The manipulation of cytosolic Ca concentration ([Ca]) plays a crucial role in the study of Ca signaling and the therapy of its affected diseases. Nanotechnology enables the development of nanotransducers for targeted, non-invasive, highly spatiotemporal, and on-demand [Ca] regulation by responding to external energy fields to activate Ca channels, in situ deliver Ca, or release the payload of chemical modulators. As considerable strides have been made in Ca signaling-related fundamental research and applications in recent years, in this article, it is tried to present a thorough review of nanotransducer-based [Ca] manipulation, from the working principle to specific applications. Focusing on the design rationale and constructions of nanotransducers, the interactions between nanotransducers and Ca channels are highlighted, as well as the downstream effectors of Ca signaling pathways, followed by their representative biomedical applications in disease treatment and neuromodulation. Moreover, despite the enormous progress made to date, nanotransducer-regulated Ca signaling still confronts obstacles, and several scientific issues urgently need to be resolved. Thus, to provide brief and valid instructions for the development of nanotransducers for the regulation of Ca signaling, proposals on how to improve the nanotransducer-based [Ca] manipulation as well as future challenges and prospects are discussed.
细胞质钙浓度([Ca])的调控在钙信号研究及其相关疾病治疗中起着关键作用。纳米技术能够开发纳米传感器,通过响应外部能量场来激活钙通道、原位输送钙或释放化学调节剂的有效载荷,从而实现对[Ca]的靶向、非侵入性、高时空分辨率和按需调控。近年来,钙信号相关的基础研究和应用取得了长足进展,本文试图对基于纳米传感器的[Ca]调控进行全面综述,内容涵盖工作原理至具体应用。重点介绍纳米传感器的设计原理和结构,突出纳米传感器与钙通道之间的相互作用以及钙信号通路的下游效应器,随后阐述其在疾病治疗和神经调节方面的代表性生物医学应用。此外,尽管迄今已取得巨大进展,但纳米传感器调控的钙信号仍面临障碍,若干科学问题亟待解决。因此,为给用于调控钙信号的纳米传感器开发提供简要有效的指导,本文讨论了如何改进基于纳米传感器的[Ca]调控以及未来的挑战与前景。
