Thermoresponsive phospholipid-poly(N-isopropyla-crylamide) (PL-PNIPAM) conjugates were synthesized via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization mediated by a phospholipid-modified trithiocarbonate. Temperature triggered the micellization of the PL-PNIPAM conjugate to form phosphate group-decorated micelles in the aqueous solution. Driven by the chelation of phospholipids and Ca2+, the PL-PNIPAM conjugate and Ca2+ ions formed size-tunable nanoclusters at a temperature beyond the lower critical solution temperature. To fabricate cross-linked nanogels, NIPAM was copolymerized with N-succinimidyl acrylate (NSA) to obtain the PL-P(NIPAM-co-NSA) conjugate bearing pendent cross-linkable functionalities. Subsequently, the size-controllable nanogels containing disulfide linkages were generated at 37 degrees C by cross-linking the PL-P(NIPAM-co-NSA)/Ca2+ nanoclusters with cystamine through modulation of Ca2+ concentrations. These negatively charged nanogels demonstrate temperature/pH/reduction triple responsiveness. The nanogels can be efficiently loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and proteins with various isoelectric points. The DOX-loaded nanogels exhibited a temperature/pH/reduction triple-responsive release profile. The immobilized RNase A, BSA, and GOx retained the protein bioactivity. The release of RNase A-loaded nanogels possesses a temperature-responsive profile. The immobilization of Lys and cytochrome C in nanogels inhibited protein bioactivity. However, the addition of NaCl triggered the recovery of bioactivity. These multistimuli-responsive nanogels can provide a versatile platform applicable in biotechnology and drug/protein delivery.
