Clearance of nanoparticles (NPs) after intravenous injection - mainly by the liver - is a critical barrier for the clinical translation of nanomaterials. Physicochemical properties of NPs are known to influence their distribution through cell-specific interactions; however, the molecular mechanisms responsible for liver cellular NP uptake are poorly understood. Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and Kupffer cells are critical participants in this clearance process. Here we use a zebrafish model for liver-NP interaction to identify the endothelial scavenger receptor Stabilin-1 as a non-redundant receptor for the clearance of small anionic NPs. Furthermore, we show that physiologically, Stabilin-1 is required for the removal of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS/endotoxin) from circulation and that Stabilin-1 cooperates with its homolog Stabilin-2 in the clearance of larger (~100 nm) anionic NPs. Our findings allow optimization of anionic nanomedicine biodistribution and targeting therapies that use Stabilin-1 and -2 for liver endothelium-specific delivery.

Article Synopsis
- Bacillus anthracis peptidoglycan (PGN) is a key component that contributes to anthrax-related organ dysfunction and impacts immune responses, particularly the ability of macrophages to clear dying cells.
- Exposure to PGN negatively affects the surface expression of important receptors on human macrophages, impairing their capacity to efferocytose apoptotic cells, while also indicating the role of human serum factors in this process.
- ADAM17, a protease involved in receptor cleavage, is implicated in this inhibition, as inhibiting it can partially restore macrophage function despite still being affected by PGN.

Oxidized albumin (oxHSA) is elevated in several pathological conditions, such as decompensated cirrhosis, acute on chronic liver failure and liver mediated renal failure. Patient derived oxidized albumin was previously shown to be an inflammatory mediator, and in normal serum levels of oxHSA are low. The removal from circulation of oxidized albumins is therefore likely required for maintenance of homeostasis.

peptidoglycan (PGN) is a major component of the bacterial cell wall and a key pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) contributing to anthrax pathology, including organ dysfunction and coagulopathy. Increases in apoptotic lymphocytes are a late-stage feature of anthrax and sepsis, suggesting there is a defect in apoptotic clearance. Here, we tested the hypothesis that PGN inhibits the capacity of human monocyte-derived macrophages (MΦ) to efferocytose apoptotic cells.

Introduction: Tumor resistance to chemotherapy and metastatic relapse account for more than 90% of cancer specific mortality. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) can process chemotherapeutic agents and impair their action. Little is known about the direct effects of chemotherapy on TAMs.
