As chemotherapy is still a cornerstone of colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) presents significant clinical challenges, affecting millions worldwide. A subset of colon cancer patients (approximately 30%) develop chronic CIPN, with detrimental, untreatable neuropathic pain symptoms. The risk factors of such intractable chronic CIPN are unknown.

Peripheral arterial diseases (PAD) have been reported to be the leading cause for limb amputations, and the current therapeutic strategies including antiplatelet medication or intervene surgery are reported to not clinically benefit the patients with high-grade PAD. To this respect, revascularization based on angiogenetic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene therapy was attempted for the potential treatment of critical PAD. Aiming for transcellular delivery of VEGF-encoding plasmid DNA (pDNA), we proposed to elaborate intriguing virus-like DNA condensates, wherein the supercoiled rigid micrometer-scaled plasmid DNA (pDNA) could be regulated in an orderly fashion into well-defined nano-toroids by following a self-spooling process with the aid of cationic block copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)-polylysine at an extraordinary ionic strength (NaCl: 600 mM).

The surface physiochemical properties of nanomedicine play a crucial role in modulating biointerfacial reactions in sequential biological compartments, accordingly accomplishing the desired programmed delivery scenario to intracellular targets. PEGylation, which involves modifying the surface with a layer of poly(ethylene glycol), has been validated as an effective strategy for minimizing adverse biointerfacial interactions. However, it has also been observed to impede cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking activities.

To overcome the biological barriers in the journey of systemic gene delivery, a multifaceted genomic synthetic nanomedicine was elaborated and strategically equipped with a multiple of intriguing responsiveness. Particularly, core-shell plasmid DNA condensates were created based on polyionic complexation with block copolymer of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-polylysine (PLys), namely, the nanoscaled PLys&pDNA nanoparticle tethered with the biocompatible PEG surroundings. Furthermore, redox-reversible disulfide crosslinking was introduced into PLys&pDNA nanoparticle to accomplish adequate structural stabilities, and thermal-responsive polypropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) was introduced as the secondary intermediate surroundings onto the pre-formulated PLys&pDNA nanoparticle with the aim of preventing the potential enzymatic degradation from the environmental nucleases.
