Abstract Macromolecular therapeutics designed for intracellular targets must overcome systemic delivery barriers, target cell membrane impermeability, and inefficient endosomal escape. Here, we engineer a class of conditional fusogenic liposomes (C-FLIPs) that harness the catalytic activity extracellular proteases present in pathological microenvironment. This context-specific activation enables on-target fusion with cells diseased tissue, resulting cytosolic therapeutic payloads. We describe cytoplasmic three prototypic macromolecular classes: peptide degraders, cytotoxic proteins, ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs). further develop C-FLIP to deliver granzyme B (GzmB) cytoplasm cancer vivo induce pyroptosis immunologically-inert tumors. Treatment C-FLIP/GzmB reprograms immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment synergizes checkpoint blockade result regression established tumors immunological memory. modular, non-viral, platform represents promising approach leverage protease targeted biologics.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have been successful in delivering nucleic acids like siRNA and mRNA, but face challenges protein delivery due to limited encapsulation endosome escape. In this study, a family of LNPs is developed with robust high efficiency addressing the multiple barriers cytosolic by incorporating clinically approved ionizable lipids into traditional cationic LNPs. The combination enables efficient binding endosomal Optimized efficiently deliver various proteins, including antibodies, enzymes, toxins, Cas9 living cells reserved functions. Moreover, designed show serum stability during delivery, albumin adsorbed on facilitates via receptor-mediated endocytosis, enabling highly vivo. optimized successfully therapeutic proteins such as saporin interleukin-10 (IL-10) inhibit tumor growth several animal models. IL-10 loaded enhanced proliferation cytotoxicity T improved antitumor effect adoptive transferred OT-1 CD8+ melanoma. This study expands applications for biomacromolecules, LNP formulations enormous potential therapeutics treat diseases.

Nature utilizes bioreversible post-translational modifications (PTMs) to spatiotemporally diversify protein function. Mimicking Nature's approach, chemists have developed a variety of chemoselective regents for traceless, modification native proteins. These strategies found utility in the development reversible covalent inhibitors and degraders as well synthesis functional conjugates delivery into cells. This Viewpoint provides snapshot such tools, which currently cover Cys, Ser, Thr, Lys, Asp, Glu residues N terminus. Additionally, we explore how reagents, originally by research communities with differing objectives, can be utilized synergistically. Looking forward, discuss need developing reagents labeling His, Tyr, Arg, Trp, Asn, Gln, Met C-terminus installation dynamic PTMs. Finally, broaden applicability these point out importance modular release scaffolds tunable times responsiveness multiple endogenous triggers. We anticipate that this will catalyze further technological breakthroughs rapidly evolving field.
