Abstract
Current treatments have limited effectiveness in treating tumors. The combination of multiple drugs or treatment strategies is widely studied to improve therapeutic effect and reduce adverse effects of cancer therapy. The codelivery system is the key to realize combined therapies. It is necessary to design and construct different codelivery systems in accordance with the variable structures and properties of cargoes and vectors. This review presented the typical design considerations about codelivery vectors for cancer therapy and described the current state of codelivery systems from two aspects: different types of vectors and collaborative treatment strategies. The commonly used loading methods of cargoes into the vectors, including physical and chemical processes, are discussed in detail. Finally, we outline the challenges and perspectives about the improvement of codelivery systems.

Abstract
Tungsten oxide nanodot (WO3-x ) is an active photothermal nanomaterial that has recently been discovered as a promising candidate for tumor theranostics and treatments. However, its potential cytotoxicity remains elusive and needs to be evaluated to assess its biosafety risks. Herein, we investigate the interactions between WO3-x and two ubiquitous protein domains involved in protein-protein interactions, namely, WW and SH3 domains, using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Our results show that WO3-x interacts only weakly with the key residues at the putative proline-rich motif (PRM) ligand-binding site of both domains. More importantly, our free energy landscape calculations reveal that the binding strength between WO3-x and WW/SH3 is weaker than that of the native PRM ligand with WW/SH3, implying that WO3-x has a limited inhibitory effect over PRM on both the WW and SH3 domains. These findings suggest that the cytotoxic effects of WO3-x on the key modular protein domains could be very mild, which provides new insights for the future potential biomedical applications of this nanomaterial.

Abstract
In the present work, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NrGO) was synthesized via a hydrothermal treatment of graphene oxide (GO) in the presence of urea. Gold nanoparticles (Au(0) NPs) were immobilized over the surface of NrGO (Au(0)-NrGO). Characterization of the Au(0)-NrGO nanocomposite via FT-IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, elemental mapping and XPS revealed the doping of N atoms during the reduction of GO. XRD and XPS studies confirmed the presence of Au(0) NPs and EDS analysis showed a 4.51 wt% loading of Au NPs in the Au(0)-NrGO nanocomposite. The morphology of Au(0)-NrGO was explored by SEM and TEM, which showed the presence of spherical Au metal NPs uniformly immobilized on the surface of NrGO. Further, studies on lysozyme (Lys) in the presence of Au(0)-NrGO by UV-visible, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed a conformational change in Lys and electrostatic interaction between Lys and Au(0)-NrGO. The DLS result showed an enhancement in the size of the Au(0)-NrGO and Lys conjugates. The Au(0)-NrGO-induced conformational changes in the structure of Lys resulted in a significant decrease in its activity at a certain concentration of Au(0)-NrGO. Moreover, the results showed that Lys favorably binds with the surface of Au(0)-NrGO, resulting in the formation of 2-D scaffolds possibly due to electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, H-bonding, and interactions between the AuNPs and sulfur-containing amino acid residues of Lys. SEM exhibited the formation of conjugates in the form of 2-D scaffolds due to the biomolecular interactions between Lys and Au(0)-NrGO. The TEM studies revealed that Lys agglomerated around the Au(0) NPs immobilized on the surface of NrGO, which suggests the formation of a protein corona (PC) around the AuNPs. Furthermore, the favorable Au(0) NP-sulphur (PC) interaction was confirmed by the disappearance of the S-S stretching band in the Raman spectra. Overall, the results obtained provide insight into the nano-bio interface and formation of Au(0) NP-PC, which can be used for bioinspired applications, such as biosensing and imaging and the development of advanced functional Au NPs.

Abstract
The superiority of nanomedicine over conventional medicines in the treatment of cancer has gained immediate recognition worldwide. As traditional cancer therapies are nonspecific and detrimental to healthy cells, the ability of nanomedicine to release drugs to target tumor cells specifically instead of healthy cells has brought new hope to cancer patients. This review focuses on the effects of various factors of nanoparticles such as transport, concentration in cells, tumor microenvironment, interaction with protein, penetration, uptake by tumor cells, cancer cell mutations, and intracellular trafficking of the nanoparticle. Besides the history of nanomedicine, future perspectives of nanomedicines are also explored in this text.

Abstract
Carbon nanostructures (CN) are emerging valuable materials for the assembly of highly engineered multifunctional nanovehicles for cancer therapy, in particular for counteracting the insurgence of multi-drug resistance (MDR). In this regard, carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene oxide (GO), and fullerenes (F) have been proposed as promising materials due to their superior physical, chemical, and biological features. The possibility to easily modify their surface, conferring tailored properties, allows different CN derivatives to be synthesized. Although many studies have explored this topic, a comprehensive review evaluating the beneficial use of functionalized CNT vs G or F is still missing. Within this paper, the most relevant examples of CN-based nanosystems proposed for MDR reversal are reviewed, taking into consideration the functionalization routes, as well as the biological mechanisms involved and the possible toxicity concerns. The main aim is to understand which functional CN represents the most promising strategy to be further investigated for overcoming MDR in cancer.

Abstract
The inability to spatiotemporally guide proteins in tissues and efficiently deliver them into cells remains a key barrier to realizing their full potential in precision medicine. Here, we report ultrasound-sensitive fluoro-protein nanoemulsions which can be acoustically tracked, guided, and activated for on-demand cytosolic delivery of proteins, including antibodies, using clinically relevant diagnostic ultrasound. This advance is accessed through the discovery of a family of fluorous tags, or FTags, that transiently mask proteins to mediate their efficient dispersion into ultrasound-sensitive liquid perfluorocarbons, a phenomenon akin to dissolving an egg in liquid Teflon. We identify the biochemical basis for protein fluorous masking and confirm FTag coatings are shed during delivery, without disrupting the protein structure or function. Harnessing the ultrasound sensitivity of fluorous emulsions, real-time imaging is used to simultaneously monitor and activate FTag-protein complexes to enable controlled cytosolic antibody delivery in vitro and in vivo. These findings may advance the development of image-guided, protein-based biosensing and therapeutic modalities.

Improved melanoma suppression with target-delivered TRAIL and Paclitaxel by a multifunctional nanocarrier. J Control Release 2020; 325:10-24.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma, a highly dangerous type of skin cancer, is usually resistant to pro-apoptosis agents such as tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) due to low death receptor expression levels. After verifying combination of chemotherapy drug paclitaxel (PTX) and TRAIL could significantly enhance their anti-melanoma effects, we developed a liposomal melanoma target-delivery system with tumor microenvironment responsiveness (TRAIL-[Lip-PTX]C18-TR) to co-deliver TRAIL and PTX. TRAIL is attached to negatively-charged liposome surface while PTX is encapsulated inside, with final surface modification of a stearyl chain (C18) fused pH-sensitive cell-penetrating peptide (TR). Here, C18-TR could specifically binds to melanoma-rich integrin receptors αvβ3 for melanoma targeting, help release TRAIL in low pH microenvironment by reversing the liposomal charge, and facilitate consequent liposome internalization. TRAIL-[Lip-PTX]C18-TR displayed significantly better in vitro half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) than other formulations, and an in vivo tumor inhibition rate of 93.8%. Mechanistic study revealed that this synergistic effect is associated with the upregulation of death receptors DR4/5 by PTX. This co-delivery system significantly improved TRAIL-based therapy against melanoma, and provided a simple platform to co-deliver other drugs/agents for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Intracellular delivery is essential to therapeutic applications such as genome engineering and disease diagnosis. Current methods lack simple, noninvasive strategies and are often hindered by long incubation time or high toxicity. Hydrodynamic approaches offer rapid and controllable delivery of small molecules, but thus far have not been demonstrated for delivering functional proteins. In this work, we developed a robust hydrodynamic approach based on gigahertz (GHz) acoustics to achieve rapid and noninvasive cytosolic delivery of biologically active proteins. With this method, GHz-based acoustic devices trigger oscillations through a liquid medium (acoustic streaming), generating shear stress on the cell membrane and inducing transient nanoporation. This mechanical effect enhances membrane permeability and enables cytosolic access to cationic proteins without disturbing their bioactivity. We evaluated the versatility of this approach through the delivery of cationic fluorescent proteins to a range of cell lines, all of which displayed equally efficient delivery speed (≤20 min). Delivery of multiple enzymatically active proteins with functionality related to apoptosis or genetic recombination further demonstrated the relevance of this method.

Abstract
Breakthroughs in materials engineering have accelerated the progress of immunotherapy in preclinical studies. The interplay of chemistry and materials has resulted in improved loading, targeting, and release of immunomodulatory agents. An overview of the materials that are used to enable or improve the success of immunotherapies in preclinical studies is presented, from immunosuppressive to proinflammatory strategies, with particular emphasis on technologies poised for clinical translation. The materials are organized based on their characteristic length scale, whereby the enabling feature of each technology is organized by the structure of that material. For example, the mechanisms by which i) nanoscale materials can improve targeting and infiltration of immunomodulatory payloads into tissues and cells, ii) microscale materials can facilitate cell-mediated transport and serve as artificial antigen-presenting cells, and iii) macroscale materials can form the basis of artificial microenvironments to promote cell infiltration and reprogramming are discussed. As a step toward establishing a set of design rules for future immunotherapies, materials that intrinsically activate or suppress the immune system are reviewed. Finally, a brief outlook on the trajectory of these systems and how they may be improved to address unsolved challenges in cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmunity is presented.

Abstract
Melittin (MEL), the primary active component of bee venom, has recently emerged as a promising cancer chemotherapeutic agent. However, the instability and rapid degradation of MEL is a significant challenge in practical therapeutic applications. In the present study, graphene oxide (GO)-based magnetic nanocomposites (PEG-GO-Fe3O4) were prepared and adopted as the drug delivery vehicles of MEL, and the anticancer effects of PEG-GO-Fe3O4/MEL complexes on human cervical cancer HeLa cells were studied. PEG-GO-Fe3O4 exhibited a series of unique physical and chemical properties resulting in multiple interactions with MEL, and ultimately the release of MEL. In vitro experiments showed that PEG-GO-Fe3O4/MEL not only distinctly enhanced the inhibition effect on HeLa cells, but also induced pore formation in the cell membrane that ultimately led to cell lysis. In this newly developed drug delivery system, PEGylated GO plays the role of a MEL protector while Fe3O4 nanoparticles act as magnetic responders; therefore active MEL can be released over a long period of time (up to 72 h) and maintain its inhibition effect on HeLa cells.

Abstract
The spatiotemporal determination of molecular events and cells is important for understanding disease processes, especially in oncology, and thus for the development of novel treatments. Equally important is the knowledge of the biodistribution, localization, and targeted accumulation of novel therapies as well as monitoring of tumor growth and therapeutic response. Optical imaging provides an ideal versatile platform for imaging of all these problems and questions.

Abstract
Cancer chemotherapy had been dominated by the use of small molecule DNA damaging drugs. Eventually, the emergence of DNA damage repair machinery in cancer cells has led to combination therapy with the DNA topology controlling enzyme, topoisomerase I inhibitor along with DNA impairing agents. However, integrating multiple drugs having diverse water solubility and hence bio-distribution effectively for cancer treatment remains a significant challenge, which can be addressed by using suitable nano-scale materials. Herein, we have chemically conjugated graphene oxide (GO) with biocompatible and hydrophilic polymers [polyethylene glycol (PEG) and ethylene-diamine modified poly-isobutylene-maleic anhydride (PMA-ED)], which can encompass highly hydrophobic topoisomerase I inhibitor, SN38. Interestingly, these sheet structured GO-polymer-SN38 composites self-assembled into spherical nanoparticles in water after complexing with a hydrophilic DNA damaging drug, cisplatin. These nanoparticles showed much improved colloidal stability in water compared to their drug-loaded non-polymeric counterpart. These SN38 and cisplatin laden GO-polymer nanoparticles were taken up by HeLa cancer cells through clathrin-dependent endocytosis to home into lysosomes within 6 h, as confirmed by confocal microscopy. A combination of gel electrophoresis, flow cytometry, and fluorescence microscopy showed that these nanoparticles damaged nuclear DNA and induced topoisomerase I inhibition leading to apoptosis and finally improved HeLa cell death. These self-assembled GO-polymer nanoparticles can be used for strategic impairment of multiple cellular targets involving hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs for effective combination therapy.

Abstract
Tumor-associated enzyme-activated prodrugs can potentially improve the selectivity of chemotherapeutics. However, the paucity of tumor-associated enzymes which are essential for prodrug activation usually limits the antitumor potency. A cooperative strategy that utilizes combretastatin A4 nanodrug (CA4-NPs) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9)-activated doxorubicin prodrug (MMP9-DOX-NPs) is developed. CA4 is a typical vascular disrupting agent that can selectively disrupt immature tumor blood vessels and exacerbate the tumor hypoxia state. After treatment with CA4-NPs, MMP9 expression can be significantly enhanced by 5.6-fold in treated tumors, which further boosts tumor-selective active drug release of MMP9-DOX-NPs by 3.7-fold in an orthotopic 4T1 mammary adenocarcinoma mouse model. The sequential delivery of CA4-NPs and MMP9-DOX-NPs exhibits enhanced antitumor efficacy with reduced systemic toxicity compared with the noncooperative controls.

Abstract
Nanocarrier-mediated codelivery of multiple anticancer drugs is a potential strategy for enhanced efficacy of combination cancer treatment by unifying differential pharmacokinetic properties and maintaining an optimal ratio of drug cargoes. However, a programmable codelivery system is highly desired to deliver different therapeutics to their specific sites of action to pursue maximized combinational effect. Herein a liposome-based nanoassembly (p53/C-rNC/L-FA) is developed for intracellular site-specific delivery of an apoptotic protein cytochrome c (CytoC) and a plasmid DNA encoding tumor-suppressing p53 protein (p53 DNA). p53/C-rNC/L-FA consists of an acid-activated fusogenic liposomal membrane shell modified with folic acid (L-FA) and a DNA/protein complex core assembled by the p53 DNA, protamine and CytoC-encapsulated redox-responsive nanocapsule (C-rNC). Intratumoral and intraendosomal acidities promote membrane fusion between liposome and biomembrane, resulting in release of the encapsulated p53/C-rNC complex into the cytoplasm. The cytoplasmic reduction causes degradation of C-rNC with release of CytoC that induces tumor cell apoptosis. The p53 DNA is transported into the nucleus by the aid of the cationic protamine and thus generates expression of the p53 protein that enhances apoptosis combined with CytoC. p53/C-rNC/L-FA is demonstrated to significantly induce tumor cell apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth in the orthotopic breast tumor mouse model.

Abstract
Neural tissue regeneration following traumatic injuries is often subpar. As a result, the field of neural tissue engineering has evolved to find therapeutic interventions and has seen promising outcomes. However, robust nerve and myelin regeneration remain elusive. One possible reason may be the fact that tissue regeneration often follows a complex sequence of events in a temporally-controlled manner. Although several other fields of tissue engineering have begun to recognise the importance of delivering two or more biomolecules sequentially for more complete tissue regeneration, such serial delivery of biomolecules in neural tissue engineering remains limited. This review aims to highlight the need for sequential delivery to enhance nerve regeneration and remyelination after traumatic injuries in the central nervous system, using spinal cord injuries as an example. In addition, possible methods to attain temporally-controlled drug/gene delivery are also discussed for effective neural tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Graphene nanocomposite is an inorganic nanocomposite material, which has been widely used in the treatment of tumor at present due to its ability of drug loading, modifiability, photothermal effect, and photodynamic effect. However, the application of graphene nanocomposite is now limited due to the fact that the functions mentioned above are not well realized. This is mainly because people do not have a systematic understanding of the physical and chemical properties of GO nanomolecules, so that we cannot make full use of GO nanomolecules to make the most suitable materials for the use of medicine. Here, we are the first to discuss the influence of the physicochemical properties of graphene nanocomposite on the various functions related to their antitumor effects. The relationship between some important physicochemical properties of graphene nanocomposite such as diameter, shape, and surface chemistry and their functions related to antitumor effects was obtained through analysis, which provides evidence for the application of related materials in the future.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are atomic clusters of crystalline or amorphous structure that possess unique physical and chemical properties associated with a size range of between 1 and 100 nm. Their nano-sized dimensions, which are in the same range as those of vital biomolecules, such as antibodies, membrane receptors, nucleic acids, and proteins, allow them to interact with different structures within living organisms. Because of these features, numerous nanoparticles are used in medicine as delivery agents for biomolecules. However, off-target drug delivery can cause serious side effects to normal tissues and organs. Considering this issue, it is essential to develop bioengineering strategies to significantly reduce systemic toxicity and improve therapeutic effect. In contrast to passive delivery, nanosystems enable to obtain enhanced therapeutic efficacy, decrease the possibility of drug resistance, and reduce side effects of "conventional" therapy in cancers. The present review provides an overview of the most recent (mostly last 3 years) achievements related to different biomolecules used to enable targeting capabilities of highly diverse nanoparticles. These include monoclonal antibodies, receptor-specific peptides or proteins, deoxyribonucleic acids, ribonucleic acids, [DNA/RNA] aptamers, and small molecules such as folates, and even vitamins or carbohydrates.

Abstract
Synchronized bio-distribution of combination therapies has several merits such as synergistic effects and reduced side-effects. Co-delivery of a protein and small molecule drug using a single nanocarrier is challenging because they possess totally different characteristics. Herein, we report the development of sophisticated nanoparticles composed of lipids, calcium carbonate and RGD peptide ligands for the co-delivery of a protein and small molecule drug combination via a simple preparation method. A 'one-step' ethanol injection method was employed to prepare the highly organized nanoparticles. The nanoparticles exhibited a spherical shape with ca. 130 nm diameter, and clearly had an integrated lipid layer covering the periphery. As a ligand, an RGD-modified lipid was post-inserted into the nanoparticles, which was important to overcome the 'PEG dilemma'. The pH-sensitivity of the targeted nanoparticles contributed to the efficient intracellular co-delivery of a protein and drug combination in Colon26 tumor cells, and noticeably improved their accumulation in the tumor region of xenograft mice. Synchronized bio-distribution of the protein and drug was achieved, which was the foundation for the synergistic effects of the combination. The targeting capability of the nanoparticles along with their pH-sensitive drug release and the synchronized bio-distribution of their cargos led to the significant antitumor activity of the SOD and paclitaxel combination in mice. This study provides novel information for the design and preparation of functionalized nanoparticles for the delivery of a protein/drug combination in vivo.

Abstract
Theranostic agents were drawing a huge attention in the personalized medication. In this study, we established a facile technique, plant extract-based technique for the synthesis of reduced nano-graphene oxide (RNGO) with low cytotoxicity. We formed platforms of photothermal (PT) therapy and further explained that the synthesized RNGO can be utilized as ready to use PT therapy without any additional surface adjustment. In the meantime, with the help of a constant-wave NIR laser (near-infrared), in vitro esophageal adenocarcinoma cell line (OE-19) cancer cells were effectively ablated, because of the PT impact of RNGO. The outcomes propose that the RNGO was appropriate for PT therapy and photoacoustic imaging of the tumor, which is assuring for theranostic nanomedicine.

Abstract
Employing combination therapy has become obligatory in cancer cases exhibiting high tumor load, chemoresistant tumor population, and advanced disease stages. Realization of this fact has now led many of the combination oncotherapies to become an integral part of anticancer regimens. Combination oncotherapy may encompass a combination of anticancer agents belonging to a similar therapeutic category or that of different therapeutic categories (e.g. chemotherapy + gene therapy). Differences in the physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics and biodistribution pattern of different payloads are the major constraints that are faced by combination chemotherapy. Concordant efforts in the field of nanotechnology and oncology have emerged with several approaches to solve the major issues encountered by combination therapy. Unique colloidal behaviors of various types of nanoparticles and differential targeting strategies have accorded an unprecedented ability to optimize combination oncotherapeutic delivery. Nanocarrier based delivery of the various types of payloads such as chemotherapeutic agents and other anticancer therapeutics such as small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA), chemosensitizers, radiosensitizers, and antiangiogenic agents have been addressed in the present review.

Abstract
The extensive research of graphene and its derivatives in biomedical applications during the past few years has witnessed its significance in the field of nanomedicine. Starting from simple drug delivery systems, the application of graphene and its derivatives has been extended to a versatile platform of multiple therapeutic modalities, including photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, magnetic hyperthermia therapy, and sonodynamic therapy. In addition to monotherapy, graphene-based materials are widely applied in combined therapies for enhanced anticancer activity and reduced side effects. In particular, graphene-based materials are often designed and fabricated as "smart" platforms for stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, whose therapeutic effects can be activated by the tumor microenvironment, such as acidic pH and elevated glutathione (termed as "endogenous stimuli"), or light, magnetic, or ultrasonic stimuli (termed as "exogenous stimuli"). Herein, the recent advances of smart graphene platforms for combined therapy applications are presented, starting with the principle for the design of graphene-based smart platforms in combined therapy applications. Next, recent advances of combined therapies contributed by graphene-based materials, including chemotherapy-based, photothermal-therapy-based, and ultrasound-therapy-based synergistic therapy, are outlined. In addition, current challenges and future prospects regarding this promising field are discussed.

Abstract
Biological molecules have promising potential to exfoliate graphite and produce biocompatible graphene nano-materials for biomedical applications. Here, a systematic design of a histidine-rich lipidated peptide sequence is presented that simultaneously exfoliates graphite flakes and functionalizes the resulting graphene nanosheets (∼150 nm lateral size) with long-term dispersion stability in aqueous solution (>8 months). The details of peptide/peptide and peptide/graphite interactions are probed using various microscopy, spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation methods. The results show that histidine and stearic acid interact with the graphite surface through π-π stacking and hydrophobic forces, respectively. Surface-assisted assembly of peptide molecules is then initiated via hydrogen bonds between deprotonated histidine segments, and a textured peptide nano-structure is formed. The work of adhesion between the peptide and graphite is found to be high enough to promote exfoliation of graphite flakes through layer-by-layer peeling of graphene nanosheets. The positively charged arginine in the peptide is exposed outward, and is responsible for the stable dispersion. The peptide molecules are sufficiently small, presenting the possibility to insert into and increase the spacing between the graphitic layers for enhanced exfoliation. The peptide-functionalized graphene nanosheets not only show great biocompatibility with cells in vitro, but also enhance cancer drug uptake by the cells.

Abstract
Recently, diverse functional materials that take subcellular structures as therapeutic targets are playing increasingly important roles in cancer therapy. Here, particular emphasis is placed on four kinds of therapies, including chemotherapy, gene therapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and hyperthermal therapy, which are the most widely used approaches for killing cancer cells by the specific destruction of subcellular organelles. Moreover, some non-drug-loaded nanoformulations (i.e., metal nanoparticles and molecular self-assemblies) with a fatal effect on cells by influencing the subcellular functions without the use of any drug molecules are also included. According to the basic principles and unique performances of each treatment, appropriate strategies are developed to meet task-specific applications by integrating specific materials, ligands, as well as methods. In addition, the combination of two or more therapies based on multifunctional nanostructures, which either directly target specific subcellular organelles or release organelle-targeted therapeutics, is also introduced with the intent of superadditive therapeutic effects. Finally, the related challenges of critical re-evaluation of this emerging field are presented.

Investigation of the antitumor activity and toxicity of long-circulating and fusogenic liposomes co-encapsulating paclitaxel and doxorubicin in a murine breast cancer animal model. Biomed Pharmacother 2018; 109:1728-1739. [PMID: 30551427 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2018.11.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2018] [Revised: 11/01/2018] [Accepted: 11/02/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
To associate paclitaxel (PTX) with doxorubicin (DXR) is one of the main chemotherapy strategies for breast cancer (BC) management. Despite the high response rates for this combination, it presents a cardiotoxic synergism, attributed to pharmacokinetic interactions between PTX and both DXR and its metabolite, doxorubicinol. One of the main strategies to minimize the cardiotoxicity of the combination is to extend the interval of time between DXR and PTX administration. However, it has been previously suggested that their co-administration leads to better efficacy compared to their sequential administration. In the present study, we investigated different molar ratio combinations of PTX:DXR (10:1; 1:1, and 1:10) against the 4T1 murine breast cancer cell line and concluded that there is no benefit of enhancing PTX concentration above that of DXR on the combination. Therefore, we obtained a long-circulating and fusogenic liposomal formulation co-encapsulating PTX and DXR (LCFL-PTX/DXR) at a molar ratio of 1:10, respectively, which maintained the in vitro biological activity of the combination. This formulation was investigated for its antitumor activity and toxicity in Balb/c mice bearing 4T1 breast tumor, and compared to treatments with free PTX, free DXR, and the mixture of free PTX:DXR at 1:10 molar ratio. The higher tumor inhibition ratios were observed for the treatments with free and co-encapsulated PTX:DXR in liposomes (66.87 and 66.52%, respectively, P>0.05) as compared to the control. The great advantage of the treatment with LCFL-PTX/DXR was its improved cardiac toxicity profile. While degeneration was observed in the hearts of all animals treated with the free PTX:DXR combination, no signs of cardiac toxicity were observed for animals treated with the LCFL-PTX/DXR. Thus, LCFL-PTX/DXR enables the co-administration of PTX and DXR, and might be considered valuable for breast cancer management.

Abstract
Topical administration of anticancer drugs provides a potential chemotherapeutic modality with high patient compliance for cutaneous melanoma. However, the drug delivery efficiency is highly limited by physiological barriers from the skin to the tumor, which cannot acquire desired therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we propose a paintable oligopeptide hydrogel containing paclitaxel (PTX)-encapsulated cell-penetrating-peptide (CPP)-modified transfersomes (PTX-CTs) to enhance transdermal PTX delivery for topical melanoma treatment. After being plastered on the skin above the melanoma tumor, the PTX-CTs-embedded hydrogel (PTX-CTs/Gel) as a patch provided prolonged retention capacity of the PTX-CTs on the skin. The PTX-CTs with superior deformability could efficiently squeeze through the channels in the stratum coreum, and the surfactant components improved the fluidity of the lipid molecules in the stratum corneum to further enhance the skin permeation. Moreover, the CPP modification rendered the PTX-CT-enhanced penetration in the skin and tumor stroma as well as efficient transportation in the tumor cells. The PTX-CTs were shown to effectively slow the tumor growth in combination with the systemic chemotherapy using Taxol, the commercial PTX formulation on the xenograft B10F16 melanoma mouse model.

Abstract
Hypoxia tumor microenvironment is a major challenge for photodynamical therapy (PDT), and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy combined PDT could be promising for enhanced anticancer therapy. In this study, we report an innovative 2-nitroimidazole derivative conjugated polyethylene glycol (PEG) amphoteric polymer theranostic liposome encapsulated a photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6), hypoxia-activated prodrug Tirapazamine (TPZ) and gene probe for synergistic photodynamic-chemotherapy. Ce6-mediated PDT upon irradiation with a laser induces hypoxia, which leads to the disassembly of the liposome and activates the antitumor activity of TPZ for improved cancer cell-killing. The released co-delivered gene probe could effectively detect the oncogenic intracellular biomarker for diagnosis. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated the greatly improved anti-cancer activity compared to conventional PDT. This work contributes to the design of hypoxia-responsive multifunctional liposome for tumor diagnosis and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy combined PDT for synergetic therapy, which holds great promise for future cancer therapy.

Abstract
Antimonene (AM) is a recently described two-dimensional (2D) elemental layered material. In this study, a novel photonic drug-delivery platform based on 2D PEGylated AM nanosheets (NSs) is developed. The platform's multiple advantages include: i) excellent photothermal properties, ii) high drug-loading capacity, iii) spatiotemporally controlled drug release triggered by near-infrared (NIR) light and moderate acidic pH, iv) superior accumulation at tumor sites, v) deep tumor penetration by both extrinsic stimuli (i.e., NIR light) and intrinsic stimuli (i.e., pH), vi) excellent multimodal-imaging properties, and vii) significant inhibition of tumor growth with no observable side effects and potential degradability, thus addressing several key limitations of cancer nanomedicines. The intracellular fate of the prepared NSs is also revealed for the first time, providing deep insights that improve cellular-level understanding of the nano-bio interactions of AM-based NSs and other emerging 2D nanomaterials. To the best of knowledge, this is the first report on 2D AM-based photonic drug-delivery platforms, possibly marking an exciting jumping-off point for research into the application of 2D AM nanomaterials in cancer theranostics.

A Transferrin Triggered Pathway for Highly Targeted Delivery of Graphene-Based Nanodrugs to Treat Choroidal Melanoma. Adv Healthc Mater 2018; 7:e1800377. [PMID: 29957869 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.201800377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2018] [Revised: 05/27/2018] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
The synthesis of transferrin (Tf)-modified pegylated graphene (PG) and its application as a highly efficient drug delivery carrier for therapy of Ocular Choroidal Melanoma-1 (OCM-1) cells is presented. For the first reported time, nanoscaled PG is prepared using an environmentally friendly ball-milling technique. The unique 2D nanostructure obtained using this PG synthesis approach offers considerable advantages in terms of drug loading and delivery, as well as the conjugation of Tf to PG providing a more targeted delivery vehicle. A highly efficient targeted pathway toward OCM-1 cells triggered by an affinity between Tf and Tf receptors expressed on the surface of OCM-1 cells is reported first here. PG-Tf is observed to easily anchor anticancer drugs such as doxorubicin via π-π stacking. This work performs a Transwell two cells coculture experiment, a 3D in vitro tumor model, and an in vivo mouse model with OCM-1 tumors to demonstrate the composite's therapeutic superiority over conventional systems for the targeted delivery and controlled release of antitumor drugs.

Tumor targeting dual stimuli responsive controllable release nanoplatform based on DNA-conjugated reduced graphene oxide for chemo-photothermal synergetic cancer therapy. J Mater Chem B 2018; 6:4360-4367.

Abstract
In this research, a novel tumor targeting dual stimuli responsive nanoplatform was fabricated for the controllable delivery and release of a drug to realize chemo-photothermal synergetic cancer therapy by integrating a DNA aptamer with polydopamine reduced graphene oxide (rGO-PDA) nanosheets. The rGO-PDA nanosheets simultaneously acted as a near-infrared radiation (NIR) photothermal agent to generate hyperthermia for photothermal therapy and a nano-carrier for loading doxorubicin (DOX), and the specially designed DNA aptamer served as a supplementary carrier for DOX loading as well as targeting moiety/gatekeeper for specific cellular recognition and controllable release of DOX. The proposed nanoplatform possessed a good targeting ability, remarkable photothermal conversion ability and intelligent drug release with both pH and photothermal heating dual stimuli response. The nanoplatform was successfully used to selectively deliver DOX to protein tyrosine kinase 7 over-expressing cancer cells with a loading capacity of 1.56 mg mg-1 and controllable drug release, which responded to both acidic intracellular environments and NIR irradiation. The combination of the dual stimuli responsive controllable release and the dual nanocarrier for drug loading results in efficient chemo-photothermal synergetic therapy and holds great potential for multimodal cancer therapy.

Abstract
2D nanomaterials, particularly graphene, offer many fascinating physicochemical properties that have generated exciting visions of future biological applications. In order to capitalize on the potential of 2D nanomaterials in this field, a full understanding of their interactions with biointerfaces is crucial. The uptake pathways, toxicity, long-term fate of 2D nanomaterials in biological systems, and their interactions with the living systems are fundamental questions that must be understood. Here, the latest progress is summarized, with a focus on pathogen, mammalian cell, and tissue interactions. The cellular uptake pathways of graphene derivatives will be discussed, along with health risks, and interactions with membranes-including bacteria and viruses-and the role of chemical structure and modifications. Other novel 2D nanomaterials with potential biomedical applications, such as transition-metal dichalcogenides, transition-metal oxide, and black phosphorus will be discussed at the end of this review.
