1. Niko Kimura, Yoko Tanaka, Yoko Yamanishi, Akiko Takahashi, and Shinya Sakuma, Nanoparticles Based on Natural Lipids Reveal Extent of Impacts of Designed Physical Characteristics on Biological Functions, ACS Nano, 10.1021/acsnano.3c07461, Advance Article, 2024.01, Nanoparticles based on lipids (LNPs) are essential in pharmaceuticals and intercellular communication, and their design parameters span a diverse range of molecules and assemblies. In bridging the gap in insight between extracellular vesicles (EVs) and synthetic LNPs, one challenge is understanding their in-cell/in-body behavior when simultaneously assessing more than one physical characteristic. Herein, we demonstrate comprehensive evaluation of LNP behavior by using LNPs based on natural lipids (N-LNPs) with designed physical characteristics: size tuned using microfluidic methods, surface fluidity designed based on EV components, and stiffness tuned using biomolecules. We produce 12 types of N-LNPs having different physical characteristics─two sizes, three membrane fluidities, and two stiffnesses for in vitro evaluation─and evaluate cellular uptake vitality and endocytic pathways of N-LNPs based on the physical characteristics of N-LNPs. To reveal the extent of the impact of the predesigned physical characteristics of N-LNPs on cellular uptakes in vivo, we also carried out animal experiments with four types of N-LNPs having different sizes and fluidities. The use of N-LNPs has helped to clarify the extent of the impact of inextricably related, designed physical characteristics on transportation and provided a bidirectional guidepost for the streamlined design and understanding of the biological functions of LNPs..

Sugano, Yoko Yamanishi, Viscosity-aided electromechanical poration of cells for transfecting molecules, Lab on a Chip, 10.1039/d2lc00628f, 22, 4276-4291, 2022.10, Cell poration technologies offer opportunities not only to understand the activities of biological molecules but also to investigate genetic manipulation possibilities. Unfortunately, transferring large molecules that can carry huge genomic information is challenging. Here, we demonstrate electromechanical poration using a core–shell-structured microbubble generator, consisting of a fine microelectrode covered with a dielectric material. By introducing a microcavity at its tip, we could concentrate the electrical field with the application of electric pulses and generate microbubbles for electromechanical stimulation of cells. Specifically, the technology enables transfection with molecules that are thousands of kDa even into
osteoblasts and Chlamydomonas, which are generally considered to be difficult to inject. Notably, we found that the transfection efficiency can be enhanced by adjusting the viscosity of the cell suspension, which was presumably achieved by remodeling of the membrane cytoskeleton. The applicability of the approach to a variety of cell types opens up numerous emerging gene engineering applications..

Unfortunately, they generally rely on fluorescent labeling for cellular phenotyping, an indirect measure of the molecular landscape in the cell, which has critical limitations. Here we demonstrate Raman image-activated cell sorting by directly probing chemically specific intracellular molecular vibrations via ultrafast multicolor stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy for cellular phenotyping. Specifically, the technology enables real-time SRS-image-based sorting of single live cells with a throughput of up to ~100 events per second without the need for fluorescent labeling. To show the broad utility of the technology, we show its applicability to diverse cell types and sizes. The technology is highly versatile and holds promise for numerous applications that are previously difficult or undesirable with fluorescence-based technologies..

Here we report an iIACS machine that far surpasses the state-of-the-art iIACS machine in system performance in order to expand the range of applications and discoveries enabled by the technology. Specifically, it provides a high throughput of ∼2000 events per second and a high sensitivity of ∼50 molecules of equivalent soluble fluorophores (MESFs), both of which are 20 times superior to those achieved in previous reports. This is made possible by employing (i) an image-sensor-based optomechanical flow imaging method known as virtual-freezing fluorescence imaging and (ii) a real-time intelligent image processor on an 8-PC server equipped with 8 multi-core CPUs and GPUs for intelligent decision-making, in order to significantly boost the imaging performance and computational power of the iIACS machine. We characterize the iIACS machine with fluorescent particles and various cell types and show that the performance of the iIACS machine is close to its achievable design specification. Equipped with the improved capabilities, this new generation of the iIACS technology holds promise for diverse applications in immunology, microbiology, stem cell biology, cancer biology, pathology, and synthetic biology..
