Abstract

Bioresponsive nanomaterials are increasingly important in a variety of applications such as disease imaging, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. However, it remains a big challenge to manipulate response efficacy of such materials for performance optimization in a highly complex milieu in vivo. Here, we developed chemically adjustable nanoreactors (CANs) with the structure of polymeric cores and albumin shells to achieve tunable redox responsivity. In vitro characterization demonstrates stable, spherical nanoparticles of the CANs with a particle size of about 50 nm. The fluorescence activation ratios of the CANs are determined by various albumin modification densities on the shell. Meanwhile, the response sensitivity of the CANs to GSH levels (0.6-4 mM) can be tuned by acid-base properties of polymeric blocks in the core. This unique tunable redox responsivity enables the CANs suitable for probe optimization in cancer imaging both in vivo and at histological levels. Overall, this study offers a new design strategy for manipulation on performance of core/shell nanoreactors or bioresponsive nanomaterials.
