Abstract
A material that possesses high loading efficiency (in terms of delivering small molecular drugs, nucleic acids, peptides, and proteins) has various medical applications, such as in tumor diagnosis and gene therapy or chemotherapy of tumors. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles are ideal nanocarriers for constructing drug delivery systems because of the unique mesoporous channels for encapsulation and the sustainable release of anticancer drugs. Herein, we demonstrate a doxorubicin (DOX)-peptides double-loaded and -response nanodrug (DMK nanoplatforms) as a multifunctional nanoplatform for chemotherapy of tumors. The nanoparticles are prepared by a surface modification strategy. The KLAK and DOX release in an acidic/reductive tumor microenvironment, which efficiently penetrate cell nuclei and generate the antitumor effect. Our study provides a new approach for developing a smart drug delivery nanosystem, particularly for peptides-guided pH-sensitive chemotherapy.

Abstract
Improving the efficiency of chemotherapy remains a key challenge in drug delivery. Many drug carriers have been designed to achieve multifunctional factors as part of their performance, including controlled release, dispersibility in aqueous environments, and targeting to cancer sites. However, it is difficult to optimize multiple properties simultaneously for a single carrier system. Here, synergistic carriers composed of vaterite microspheres and silk nanofiber hydrogels were developed to improve the dispersibility of vaterite spheres and the control of drug delivery without compromising the injectability or sensitivity to pH. The vaterite microspheres were dispersed homogeneously and remained stable in the silk nanofiber hydrogels. Doxorubicin (DOX) was effectively loaded on the vaterite spheres and silk nanofibers, forming synergistic silk-vaterite hydrogel delivery systems. The sustained delivery of DOX was tuned and controlled by vaterite stability and the DOX content loaded on the spheres and nanofibers. The cytotoxicity was regulated via the controlled delivery of DOX, suggesting the possibility of optimizing chemotherapeutic strategies. These silk-vaterite delivery hydrogels suggest a useful strategy for designing novel delivery systems for improved delivery and therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
Theranostic nanoplatforms that integrate therapy and diagnosis in a single composite have become increasingly attractive in the field of precise and efficient tumor treatment. Herein, a novel oxygen-deficient zirconia (ZrO2-x) nanosystem based on the conjugation of thiol-polyethylene glycol-amine (SH-PEG-NH2) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) was elaborately designed and established for efficacious photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) and fluorescence/photoacoustic (FL/PA) bimodal imaging for the first time. The crystalline-disordered, PEGylated ZrO2-x nanoparticles (ZP NPs) displayed strong optical absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) window and were featured with significant photothermal conversion capacity. The ZP NPs were further covalently conjugated with Ce6 to form ZrO2-x@PEG/Ce6 (ZPC) NPs, which displayed a long circulatory half-life, efficient tumor accumulation, and outstanding FL/PA imaging performance. Moreover, the nanocomposites effectively generated cytotoxic intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsive to laser activation. Both cell studies and animal experiments explicitly demonstrated that ZPC NPs mediated remarkable tumor ablation with minimal systemic toxicity thanks to their tumor-specific PTT/PDT effect. Collectively, these findings may open up new avenues to broaden the application of oxygen-deficient ZrO2-x nanostructures as high-performance photothermal agents in tumor theranostics through rational design and accurate control of their physiochemical properties.

Abstract
The interest in injectable hydrogels for cancer treatment has been significantly growing over the last decade, due to the availability of a wide range of starting polymer structures with tailored features and high chemical versatility. Many research groups are working on the development of highly engineered injectable delivery vehicle systems suitable for combined chemo-and radio-therapy, as well as thermal and photo-thermal ablation, with the aim of finding out effective solutions to overcome the current obstacles of conventional therapeutic protocols. Within this work, we have reviewed and discussed the most recent injectable hydrogel systems, focusing on the structure and properties of the starting polymers, which are mainly classified into natural or synthetic sources. Moreover, mapping the research landscape of the fabrication strategies, the main outcome of each system is discussed in light of possible clinical applications.

Abstract
An injectable multifunctional hydrogel based on an engineered coiled-coil polypeptide, Ag2S quantum dots (QDs), and paclitaxel (PTX) has been developed for sustained chemo-photothermal therapy. Oil-soluble Ag2S QDs and PTX were first loaded into nanogels formed with engineered polypeptide PC10A by ultrasonic treatment to prepare PC10A/Ag2S QD/PTX nanogels. The multifunctional PC10A/Ag2S QD/PTX hydrogels were prepared by dissolving the PC10A/Ag2S QD/PTX nanogels into the PC10A hydrogel. The PC10A/Ag2S QD/PTX hydrogel can be injected directly into the site of tumors. In vitro and in vivo toxicity results showed that the PC10A/Ag2S QD/PTX hydrogel presented excellent biocompatibility. Compared with single near-infrared photothermal therapy and chemotherapy, the combined therapy could effectively suppress the growth of SKOV3 ovarian carcinoma tumor. In addition, real-time monitoring of the in vivo degradation of the PC10A/Ag2S QD/PTX hydrogel was achieved by near-infrared fluorescence imaging and photoacoustic imaging. These results demonstrated that this injectable multifunctional PC10A/Ag2S QD/PTX hydrogel has the potential as a theranostic platform for sustained cancer treatments.

Abstract
Objectives Pegaptanib might be a promising anti‐tumour drug targeting VEGF to inhibit tumour vascular endothelial cell proliferation. However, the poor biostability limited its application. In this study, we took tetrahedron DNA nanostructures (TDNs) as drug nanocarrier for pegaptanib to explore the potent anti‐angiogenesis and anti‐tumour activity of this drug delivery system. Materials and methods The successful synthesis of TDNs and pegaptanib‐TDNs was determined by 8% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), capillary electrophoresis and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The cytotoxicity of pegaptanib alone and pegaptanib‐TDNs on HUVECs and Cal27 was evaluated by the cell count kit‐8 (CCK‐8) assay. The effect of pegaptanib and pegaptanib‐TDNs on proliferation, migration and tube formation of HUVECs induced by VEGF was examined by CCK‐8 assay, wound healing assay and tubule formation experiment. The cell binding capacity and serum stability were detected by flow cytometry and PAGE, respectively. Results Pegaptanib‐TDNs had stronger killing ability than pegaptanib alone, and the inhibiting effect was in a concentration‐dependent manner. What's more, pegaptanib‐loaded TDNs could effectively enhance the ability of pegaptanib to inhibit proliferation, migration and tube formation of HUVECs induced by VEGF. These might attribute to the stronger binding affinity to the cell membrane and greater serum stability of pegaptanib‐TDNs. Conclusions These results suggested that pegaptanib‐TDNs might be a novel strategy to improve anti‐angiogenesis and anti‐tumour ability of pegaptanib.

Abstract
Complete tumor regression is a great challenge faced by single therapy of near-infrared (NIR)-triggered hyperthermia or vascular disrupting agents. An injectable nanocomposite (NC) hydrogel is rationally designed for combined anticancer therapy based on NIR-triggered hyperthermia and vascular disruption. The NC hydrogel, codelivered with Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles and combretastatin A4 (CA4), has good shear-thinning, self-recovery, and excellent photothermal properties. Because of the remarkable tumor-site retention and sustained release of CA4 (about 10% over 12 days), the NC hydrogel has a tumor suppression rate of 99.6%. The programmed combinational therapy conveys the concept of "attack + guard", where PB-based NIR irradiation imposes intensive attack on most of cancer cells, and CA4 serves as a guard against the tumor growth by cutting off the energy supply. Moreover, the biosafety and eco-friendliness of the hydrogel platform pave the way toward clinical applications.

Abstract
Background Recent efforts have been focused on combining two or more therapeutic approaches with different mechanisms to enhance antitumor therapy. Moreover, nanosize drug-delivery systems for codelivering two drugs with proapoptotic and antiangiogenic activities have exhibited great potential in efficient treatment of cancers. Methods Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA)–modified liposomes (GA LPs) for liver-targeted codelivery of curcumin (Cur) and combretastatin A4 phosphate (CA4P) were prepared and characterized. In vitro cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, cell migration, in vivo biodistribution, antitumor activity, and histopathological studies were performed. Results Compared with unmodified LPs (Cur-CA4P LPs), Cur-CA4P/GA LPs were taken up effectively by human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (BEL-7402) and showed higher cytotoxicity than free drugs. In vivo real-time near-infrared fluorescence–imaging results indicated that GA-targeted LPs increased accumulation in the tumor region. Moreover, Cur-CA4P/GA LPs showed stronger inhibition of tumor proliferation than Cur, Cur + CA4P, and Cur-CA4P LPs in vivo antitumor studies, which was also verified by H&E staining. Conclusion GA-modified LPs can serve as a promising nanocarrier for liver-targeted co-delivery of antitumor drugs against hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
In medical applications, two-dimensional nanomaterials have been widely studied on account of their intriguing properties such as good biocompatibility, stability, and multifunctionality. Herein, an ultrathin MnO2 nanosheet has been fabricated by a simplistic hydrothermal process. The high photothermal conversion performance (62.4%) can be attributed to the vacancy in the ultrathin MnO2 nanosheet, as confirmed by the extended X-ray absorption fine structure results and the density functional theory calculation, benefiting photoacoustic imaging-guided cancer therapy. This highly efficient vacancy-induced photothermal therapy has been reported for the first time. As a result, this work demonstrates that this ultrathin MnO2 nanosheet has a potential to construct a nanosystem for imaging-guided cancer therapy.

Guar-Based Injectable Thermoresponsive Hydrogel as a Scaffold for Bone Cell Growth and Controlled Drug Delivery. ACS OMEGA 2018; 3:15158-15167. [PMID: 30555998 PMCID: PMC6289518 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.8b01765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2018] [Accepted: 10/23/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
In this study, an injectable thermoresponsive hydroxypropyl guar-graft-poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (HPG-g-PNVCL) copolymer was synthesized by graft polymerization. The reaction parameters such as temperature, time, monomer, and initiator concentrations were varied. In addition, the HPG-g-PNVCL copolymer was modified with nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) by in situ covalent cross-linking using divinyl sulfone (DVS) cross-linker to obtain HPG-g-PNVCL/n-HA/DVS composite material. Grafted copolymer and composite materials were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), and differential scanning calorimetry. The morphology of the grafted copolymer (HPG-g-PNVCL) and the composite (HPG-g-PNVCL/n-HA/DVS) was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which showed interconnected porous honeycomb-like structures. Using Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, low critical solution temperature for HPG-g-PNVCL was observed at 34 °C, which is close to the rheology gel point at 33.5 °C. The thermoreversibility of HPG-g-PNVCL was proved by rheological analysis. The HPG-g-PNVCL hydrogel was employed for slow release of the drug molecule. Ciprofloxacin, a commonly known antibiotic, was used for sustainable release from the HPG-g-PNVCL hydrogel as a function of time at 37 °C because of viscous nature and thermogelation of the copolymer. In vitro cytotoxicity study reveals that the HPG-g-PNVCL thermogelling polymer works as a biocompatible scaffold for osteoblastic cell growth. Additionally, in vitro biomineralization study of HPG-g-PNVCL/n-HA/DVS was conducted using a simulated body fluid, and apatite-like structure formation was observed by SEM.
