New Frontiers in Molecular Imaging with Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs): Efficacy, Toxicity, and Future Applications. Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2020; 54:65-80.

Abstract
Supermagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) are nanoparticles that have an iron oxide core and a functionalized shell. SPIONs have recently raised much interest in the scientific community, given their exciting potential diagnostic and theragnostic applications. The possibility to modify their surface and the characteristics of their core make SPIONs a specific contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging but also an intriguing family of tracer for nuclear medicine. An example is 68Ga-radiolabeled bombesin-conjugated to superparamagnetic nanoparticles coated with trimethyl chitosan that is selective for the gastrin-releasing peptide receptors. These receptors are expressed by several human cancer cells such as breast and prostate neoplasia. Since the coating does not interfere with the properties of the molecules bounded to the shell, it has been proposed to link SPIONs with antibodies. SPIONs can be used also to monitor the biodistribution of mesenchymal stromal cells and take place in various applications. The aim of this review of literature is to analyze the diagnostic aspect of SPIONs in magnetic resonance imaging and in nuclear medicine, with a particular focus on sentinel lymph node applications. Moreover, it is taken into account the possible toxicity and the effects on human physiology to determine the SPIONs' safety.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, hyperthermia therapy (HTT) has become one of the most promising strategies to treat cancer. HTT has been applied with nanotechnology to overcome drawbacks such as non-selectivity and invasiveness and to maximize therapeutic efficacy. The high temperature of HTT induces protein denaturation that leads to apoptosis or necrosis. It can also enhance the effects of other cancer therapies because heat-damaged tissues reduce radioresistance and help accumulate anticancer drugs. Gold nanoparticles and superparamagnetic iron oxide with different energy sources are commonly used as hyperthermia agents. New types of nanoparticles such as those whose surface is coated with several polymers and those modified with targeting moieties have been studied as novel HTT agents. In this review, we introduce principles and applications of nanotechnology-based HTT using gold nanoparticles and superparamagnetic iron oxide.

Targeting strategies for superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles in cancer therapy. Acta Biomater 2020; 102:13-34.

Abstract
Among various nanoparticles, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been increasingly studied for their excellent superparamagnetism, magnetic heating properties, and enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The conjugation of SPIONs with drugs to obtain delivery nanosystems has several advantages including magnetic targeted functionalization, in vivo imaging, magnetic thermotherapy, and combined delivery of anticancer agents. To further increase the targeting efficiency of drugs through a delivery nanosystem based on SPIONs, additional targeting moieties including transferrin, antibodies, aptamers, hyaluronic acid, folate, and targeting peptides are coated onto the surface of SPIONs. Therefore, this review summarizes the latest progresses in the conjugation of targeting molecules and drug delivery nanosystems based on SPIONs, especially focusing on their performances to develop efficient targeted drug delivery systems for tumor therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Some magnetic nanoparticle-based nanocarriers loaded with drugs were evaluated in patients and did not produce convincing results, leading to termination of clinical development in phase II/III. An alternative strategy for drug delivery systems based on SPIONs is the conjugation of these systems with targeting segments such as transferrin, antibodies, aptamers, hyaluronic acid, folate, and targeting peptides. These targeting moieties can be recognized by specific integrin/receptors that are overexpressed specifically on the tumor cell surface, resulting in minimizing dosage and reducing off-target effects. This review focuses on magnetic nanoparticle-based nonviral drug delivery systems with targeting moieties to deliver anticancer drugs, with an aim to provide suggestions on the development of SPIONs through discussion.

[PMID: 31936217 PMCID: PMC7022723 DOI: 10.3390/nano10010117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2019] [Revised: 01/04/2020] [Accepted: 01/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
In this study, silica-coated magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs@SiO2) were covalently conjugated onto graphene oxide (GO/MNP@SiO2) for protein isolation. First, MNPs were precisely coated with a silica layer on the surface by using the reverse microemulsion method, followed by incubation with 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTS) to produce the GPTS-functionalized MNPs@SiO2 (GPTS-coated MNPs@SiO2) that display epoxy groups on the surface. The silica shell on the MNPs was optimized at 300 µL of Igepal®CO-520, 5 mg of MNP, 100 µL of TEOS, 100 µL of NH4OH and 3% of 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTS). Simultaneously, polyethyleneimine (PEI) was covalently conjugated to GO to enhance the stability of GO in aqueous solutions and create the reaction sites with epoxy groups on the surface of GPTS-coated MNP@SiO2. The ratio of PEI grafted GO and GPTS-coated MNP@SiO2 (GO/MNP ratio) was investigated to produce GO/MNPs@SiO2 with highly saturated magnetization without aggregation. As a result, the GO/MNP ratio of 5 was the best condition to produce the GO/MNP@SiO2 with 9.53 emu/g of saturation superparamagnetization at a magnetic field of 2.0 (T). Finally, the GO/MNPs@SiO2 were used to separate bovine serum albumin (BSA) to investigate its protein isolation ability. The quantity of BSA adsorbed onto 1 mg of GO/MNP@SiO2 increased sharply over time to reach 628 ± 9.3 µg/mg after 15 min, which was 3.5-fold-higher than that of GPTS-coated MNP@SiO2. This result suggests that the GO/MNP@SiO2 nanostructure can be used for protein isolation.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles are the basic components of the most promising magneto-responsive systems for nanomedicine, ranging from drug delivery and imaging to hyperthermia cancer treatment, as well as to rapid point-of-care diagnostic systems with magnetic nanoparticles. Advanced synthesis procedures of single- and multi-core iron-oxide nanoparticles with high magnetic moment and well-defined size and shape, being designed to simultaneously fulfill multiple biomedical functionalities, have been thoroughly evaluated. The review summarizes recent results in manufacturing novel magnetic nanoparticle systems, as well as the use of proper characterization methods that are relevant to the magneto-responsive nature, size range, surface chemistry, structuring behavior, and exploitation conditions of magnetic nanosystems. These refer to particle size, size distribution and aggregation characteristics, zeta potential/surface charge, surface coating, functionalization and catalytic activity, morphology (shape, surface area, surface topology, crystallinity), solubility and stability (e.g., solubility in biological fluids, stability on storage), as well as to DC and AC magnetic properties, particle agglomerates formation, and flow behavior under applied magnetic field (magnetorheology).

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have unique properties with regard to biological and medical applications. SPIONs have been used in clinical settings although their safety of use remains unclear due to the great differences in their structure and in intra- and inter-patient absorption and response. This review addresses potential applications of SPIONs in vitro (formulations), ex vivo (in biological cells and tissues) and in vivo (preclinical animal models), as well as potential biomedical applications in the context of drug targeting, disease treatment and therapeutic efficacy, and safety studies.

Abstract
Biolistic delivery of biomolecular cargoes to plants with micron-scale projectiles is a well-established technique in plant biotechnology. However, the relatively large micron-scale biolistic projectiles can result in tissue damage, low regeneration efficiency, and create difficulties for the biolistic transformation of isomorphic small cells or subcellular target organelles (i.e., mitochondria and plastids). As an alternative to micron-sized carriers, nanomaterials provide a promising approach for biomolecule delivery to plants. While most studies exploring nanoscale biolistic carriers have been carried out in animal cells and tissues, which lack a cell wall, we can nonetheless extrapolate their utility for nanobiolistic delivery of biomolecules in plant targets. Specifically, nanobiolistics has shown promising results for use in animal systems, in which nanoscale projectiles yield lower levels of cell and tissue damage while maintaining similar transformation efficiencies as their micron-scale counterparts. In this chapter, we specifically discuss biolistic delivery of nanoparticles for plant genetic transformation purposes and identify the figures of merit requiring optimization for broad-scale implementation of nanobiolistics in plant genetic transformations.

Abstract
In clinical applications, chemotherapy and hyperthermia are commonly used together. To achieve this, we synthesized multifunctional magnetite mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MMSNs) coated with a chitosan hydrogel. pH-Responsive chitosan hydrogels (cross-linked glutaraldehyde) were used to cover mesoporous silica pores. The infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and electron microscopy images (SEM and TEM) confirm that a hydrogel layer and a silica shell were formed. By applying alternating magnetic fields (AMF) to nanogels, heat generation (43 °C) occurred within a short time. The drug release (tamoxifen) of nanogels was studied for 72 h at different pH and temperatures. Drug release at pH 7.4/T = 37 °C (simulating physiological condition) and pH 5/T = 43 °C (pH simulating endosomes/hyperthermia) were 15 and 70%, respectively, so, drug release was increased with hyperthermia. To determine the biocompatibility of the nanogels, an MTT assay of L929 cells was performed for 24, 48 and 72 h. The results show high biocompatibility of nanogels even at high concentrations (over 80% cell viability after 72 h for all concentrations).

Abstract
Breast cancer is a major cause of death among women worldwide. Resistance to conventional therapies has been observed in HER2-positive breast cancer patients, indicating the need for more effective treatments. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy is an attractive strategy against HER2-positive tumors, but its success depends largely on the efficient delivery of agents to target tissues. In this study, we prepared a magnetic hybrid nanostructure composed of iron oxide nanoparticles coated with caffeic acid and stabilized by layers of calcium phosphate and PEG-polyanion block copolymer for incorporation of siRNA. Transmission electron microscopy images showed monodisperse, neutrally charged compact spheres sized <100 nm. Dynamic light scattering and nanoparticle tracking analysis revealed that the nanostructure had an average hydrodynamic diameter of 130 nm. Nanoparticle suspensions remained stable over 42 days of storage at 4 and 25 °C. Unloaded caffeic acid-magnetic calcium phosphate (Caf-MCaP) nanoparticles were not cytotoxic, and loaded nanoparticles were successfully taken up by the HER2-positive breast cancer cell line HCC1954, even more so under magnetic guidance. Nanoparticles escaped endosomal degradation and delivered siRNA into the cytoplasm, inducing HER2 gene silencing.

Abstract
Nanomaterials, in addition to their small size, possess unique physicochemical properties that differ from bulk materials, making them ideal for a host of novel applications. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are one important class of nanomaterials that have been widely studied for their potential applications in nanomedicine. Due to the fact that MNPs can be detected and manipulated by remote magnetic fields, it opens a wide opportunity for them to be used in vivo. Nowadays, MNPs have been used for diverse applications including magnetic biosensing (diagnostics), magnetic imaging, magnetic separation, drug and gene delivery, and hyperthermia therapy, etc. Specifically, we reviewed some emerging techniques in magnetic diagnostics such as magnetoresistive (MR) and micro-Hall (μHall) biosensors, as well as the magnetic particle spectroscopy, magnetic relaxation switching and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based bioassays. Recent advances in applying MNPs as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging and as tracer materials in magnetic particle imaging are reviewed. In addition, the development of high magnetic moment MNPs with proper surface functionalization has progressed exponentially over the past decade. To this end, different MNP synthesis approaches and surface coating strategies are reviewed and the biocompatibility and toxicity of surface functionalized MNP nanocomposites are also discussed. Herein, we are aiming to provide a comprehensive assessment of the state-of-the-art biological and biomedical applications of MNPs. This review is not only to provide in-depth insights into the different synthesis, biofunctionalization, biosensing, imaging, and therapy methods but also to give an overview of limitations and possibilities of each technology.

Abstract
Cancer is a global epidemic and is considered a leading cause of death. Various cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy are available for the cure but those are generally associated with poor long-term survival rates. Consequently, more advanced and selective methods that have better outcomes, fewer side effects, and high efficacies are highly in demand. Among these is the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) which act as an innovative kit for battling cancer. Low cost, magnetic properties and toxicity properties enable SPIONs to be widely utilized in biomedical applications. For example, magnetite and maghemite (Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3) exhibit superparamagnetic properties and are widely used in drug delivery, diagnosis, and therapy. These materials are termed SPIONs when their size is smaller than 20 nm. This review article aims to provide a brief introduction on SPIONs, focusing on their fundamental magnetism and biological applications. The quality and surface chemistry of SPIONs are crucial in biomedical applications; therefore an in-depth survey of synthetic approaches and surface modifications of SPIONs is provided along with their biological applications such as targeting, site-specific drug delivery and therapy.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (ION) are gaining importance as diagnostic and therapeutic tool of central nervous system diseases. Although oleic acid-coated ION (O-ION) have been described as stable and biocompatible, their potential neurotoxicity was scarcely evaluated in human nervous cells so far. The primary aim of this work was to assess the molecular and cellular effects of O-ION on human astrocytes (A172 cells) under different experimental conditions. An extensive set of cyto- and genotoxicity tests was carried out, including lactate dehydrogenase release assay, cell cycle alterations, and cell death production, as well as comet assay, γH2AX assay, and micronucleus (MN) test, considering also iron ion release capacity and alterations in DNA repair ability. Results showed a moderate cytotoxicity related to cell cycle arrest and cell death promotion, regardless of serum presence. O-ION induced genotoxic effects, namely primary DNA damage, as detected by the comet assay and H2AX phosphorylation, but A172 cells were able to repair this particular damage because no chromosome alterations were found (confirmed by MN test results). Accordingly, no effects on the DNA repair ability were observed. The presence of serum proteins did not influence O-ION toxicity. Iron ions released from the O-ION surface seemed not to be responsible for the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects observed. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 2019. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Rapid growth in nanotechnology toward the development of nanomedicine agents holds massive promise to improve therapeutic approaches against cancer. Nanomedicine products represent an opportunity to achieve sophisticated targeting strategies and multifunctionality. Nowadays, nanoparticles (NPs) have multiple applications in different branches of science. In recent years, NPs have repetitively been reported to play a significant role in modern medicine. They have been analyzed for different clinical applications, such as drug carriers, gene delivery to tumors, and contrast agents in imaging. A wide range of nanomaterials based on organic, inorganic, lipid, or glycan compounds, as well as on synthetic polymers has been utilized for the development and improvement of new cancer therapeutics. In this study, we discuss the role of NPs in treating cancer among different drug delivery methods for cancer therapy.

Abstract
This work was aimed at defining the suitable test for evaluating Fe3O4 NPs cytotoxicity after short-term exposure in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) using different viability tests, namely NRU, MTT and TB assays, paralleled by cell morphology analyses for cross checking. MTT and NRU data (culture medium with/without hMSCs plus Fe3O4NPs) indicated artificial/false increments in cell viability after Fe3O4NPs. These observations did not fit with the morphological analyses showing reduced cell density, loss of monolayer features, and morphological alterations at Fe3O4NPs ≥50 μg/ml. Fe3O4NPs alone induced a substantial increased absorbance at the wavelength required for MTT and NRU. A significant death (25%) of hMSC at Fe3O4NPs ≥10 μg/ml, with a maximum effect (45%) at 300 μg/ml after 24 h, exacerbated after 48 h, was observed when applying TB test. These results paralleled the effects on cell morphology. The optical properties and stability of Fe3O4NP suspension (tendency to agglomerate in a specific culture medium) represent factors that limit in vitro result interpretation. These findings suggest the non applicability of the spectrophotometric assays for hMSC culture conditions, while TB is an accurate method for determining cell viability after Fe3O4NP exposure in this model. In relation to NPs safety assessment: cell-based assays must be considered on case-by-case basis; selection of relevant cell models is also important for predictive toxicological studies; application of a testing strategy is fundamental for understanding the toxicity pathways driving cellular responses.

Abstract
Bare, uncoated magnetite nanoparticles, synthesized using an electrochemical surfactant-free synthesis, have highly oxidized surfaces that prevent aggregation. These particles have demonstrated highly intriguing biological activity showing extremely potent antibiotic activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria with little toxicity to rats. This difference in activity could be ascribed to the nature of the protein corona. The kinetics and thermodynamics of the binding of bovine serum albumin (BSA), used as a model serum protein, to these magnetite nanoparticles were analyzed. There is no significant change in particle diameter by dynamic light scattering following adsorption, indicating corona formation does not induce aggregation. The maximum adsorption capacity of the particles was determined to be 300 mg of BSA per gram of magnetite. The particles are able to adsorb 90% of the BSA at protein concentrations as high as 500 mg/L. The adsorption is best described using a pseudo second order model and a Langmuir Type III isotherm model. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the process is entropically driven and is spontaneous at all tested temperatures and conditions. However, it appears to be a weak to moderate physical adsorption. This moderate binding affinity could indicate the differential biological activity of these particles towards bacteria and mammalian cells and further support the contention that these are potentially useful new tools for targeting antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Cancer is an abnormal cell growth which tends to proliferate in an uncontrolled way and, in some cases, leads to metastasis. If cancer is left untreated, it can immediately cause death. The use of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as a drug delivery system will enable drugs to target tissues and cell types precisely. This study describes usual strategies and consideration for the synthesis of MNPs and incorporates payload drug on MNPs. They have advantages such as visual targeting and delivering which will be discussed in this review. In addition, we considered body magnetic field to make drug delivery process more effective and safer by the application of MNPs and tumor-on-chip.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to incorporate iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) into calcium phosphate cement (CPC) to enhance bone engineering, and to investigate the effects of IONPs as a liquid or powder on stem cells using IONP-CPC scaffold for the first time. IONP-CPCs were prepared by adding 1% IONPs as liquid or powder. Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) were seeded. Subcutaneous implantation in mice was investigated. IONP-CPCs had better cell spreading, and greater ALP activity and bone mineral synthesis, than CPC control. Subcutaneous implantation for 6 weeks showed good biocompatibility for all groups. In conclusion, incorporating IONPs in liquid or powder form both substantially enhanced hDPSCs on IONP-CPC scaffold and exhibited excellent biocompatibility. IONP incorporation as a liquid was better than IONP powder in promoting osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. Incorporating IONPs and chitosan lactate together in CPC enhanced osteogenesis of hDPSCs more than using either alone.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in mucin 1 (MUC1) modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) targeting human pancreatic cancer (PC). The MUC1 target-directed probe was prepared through MUC1 conjugated to SPION using the chemical method to assess its physiochemical characteristics, including hydration diameter, surface charge, and magnetic resonance signal. The cytotoxicity of MUC1-USPION was verified by MTS assay. BxPC-3 was cultured with MUC1-USPION and SPION in different concentrations. The combined condition of the targeted probes and cells were observed through Prussian blue staining. The nude mice model of pancreatic cancer was established to investigate the application of the probe. MRI was performed to determine the intensity of the signal of the transplanted tumor, while immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were performed to detect the expression of MUC1 after taking the transplanted tumor specimen. The particle size of the prepared molecular probe was 63.5 ± 3.2 nm, and the surface charge was 10.2 mV. Furthermore, the probe solution could significantly reduce the MRI at T2 , and the magnetic resonance transverse relaxation rate (ΔR2 ) has a linear relationship with the concentration of iron in the solution. The cell viability of MUC1-USPION in different concentrations revealed no statistical difference, according to the MTS assay. In vitro, the MRI demonstrated decreased T2WI signal intensity in both groups, especially the targeting group. In vivo, MUC1 could selectively accumulate in the nude mice model, and significantly reduce the T2 signal strength. In subsequent experiments, the expression of MUC1 was high in pancreatic cancer tissues, but low in normal pancreatic tissues, as determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. The prepared samples can be combined with pancreatic cancer tissue specificity by in vivo imaging, providing reliable early in vivo imaging data for disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) is one of the most common malignant cancers worldwide. The present study aimed to transfer oleuropein into cancer cells using synthetic paramagnetic nanoparticles and study their effect on the AGS (ATCC® CRL1739™) cell line. Materials and Methods: Paramagnetic nano-oleuropein was synthesized using four-stage co-precipitation by developing NH-connected bridges and was evaluated by EDS, SEM and FTIR methods. Different concentrations of magnetic oleuropein (0, 0.15, 0.45, 1.37, 4.12, 12.35, 37.04, 111.11, 333.33, 1000 µg/mL) were used to treat the AGS cell line in a completely randomized design using a statistical framework with three replicates. The relative expression rate of miR-200 and KRAS oncogenes was evaluated using real-time PCR. The inhibition rate of the AGS cells was assessed using the MTT test at 24, 48 and 72 h intervals. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the inhibition rates of magnetic nano-oleuropein at IC50-24h (23.6 µg/mL), IC50-48h (15.2 µg/mL) and IC50-72h (9.2 µg/mL). Real-time PCR indicated that the relative expression of KRAS and miR-200 genes was highest at IC50 at these intervals. Conclusions: Magnetic nano-oleuropein can be subjected to objective testing and clinical evaluations as a natural antioxidant to prevent and treat gastric adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
The identification of markers expressed by pathological cells or their microenvironment would help to distinguish such cells from the normal tissues. The strategies derived from this theory can be a promising modality for imaging and treating diseases. LyP-1, a tumor homing peptide, can selectively bind to its receptor p32 protein overexpressed in various tumor-associated cells and atherosclerotic plaque macrophages. During recent decades, multiple types of LyP-1-based imaging probes and drug delivery systems have been designed and developed for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This review first introduces LyP-1 and its receptor p32, as well as its homing, internalization and proapoptotic properties. Next, we highlight recent studies focusing on the applications of LyP-1-based strategies in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors, metastatic lesions, and atherosclerotic plaques. Finally, several limitations in the clinical translation of LyP-1-based bioconjugates are summarized.

Hemodynamic Effects on Particle Targeting in the Arterial Bifurcation for Different Magnet Positions. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24132509.

Abstract
The present study investigated the possibilities and feasibility of drug targeting for an arterial bifurcation lesion to influence the host healing response. A micrometer sized iron particle was used only to model the magnetic carrier in the experimental investigation (not intended for clinical use), to demonstrate the feasibility of the particle targeting at the lesion site and facilitate the new experimental investigations using coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. Magnetic fields were generated by a single permanent external magnet (ferrite magnet). Artery bifurcation exerts severe impacts on drug distribution, both in the main vessel and the branches, practically inducing an uneven drug concentration distribution in the bifurcation lesion area. There are permanently positioned magnets in the vicinity of the bifurcation near the diseased area. The generated magnetic field induced deviation of the injected ferromagnetic particles and were captured onto the vessel wall of the test section. To increase the particle accumulation in the targeted region and consequently avoid the polypharmacology (interaction of the injected drug particles with multiple target sites), it is critical to understand flow hemodynamics and the correlation between flow structure, magnetic field gradient, and spatial position.

World J Gastroenterol 2019; 25:3030-3043. [PMID: 31293339 PMCID: PMC6603812 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v25.i24.3030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2019] [Revised: 04/03/2019] [Accepted: 05/18/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks second in terms of cancer mortality worldwide. Molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) targeting HCC biomarkers such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) or glypican-3 (GPC3) offers new strategies to enhance specificity and help early diagnosis of HCC. However, the existing iron oxide nanoparticle-based MR molecular probes singly target AFP or GPC3, which may hinder their efficiency to detect heterogeneous micro malignant HCC tumors < 1 cm (MHCC). We hypothesized that the strategy of double antibody-conjugated iron oxide nanoparticles which simultaneously target AFP and GPC3 antigens may potentially be used to overcome the tumor heterogeneity and enhance the detection rate for MRI-based MHCC diagnosis.
AIM To synthesize an AFP/GPC3 double antibody-labeled iron oxide MRI molecular probe and to assess its impact on MRI specificity and sensitivity at the cellular level.
METHODS A double antigen-targeted MRI probe for MHCC anti-AFP–USPIO–anti-GPC3 (UAG) was developed by simultaneously conjugating AFP andGPC3 antibodies to a 5 nm ultra-small superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (USPIO). At the same time, the singly labeled probes of anti-AFP–USPIO (UA) and anti-GPC3–USPIO (UG) and non-targeted USPIO (U) were also prepared for comparison. The physical characterization including morphology (transmission electron microscopy), hydrodynamic size, and zeta potential (dynamic light scattering) was conducted for each of the probes. The antigen targeting and MRI ability for these four kinds of USPIO probes were studied in the GPC3-expressing murine hepatoma cell line Hepa1-6/GPC3. First, AFP and GPC3 antigen expression in Hepa1-6/GPC3 cells was confirmed by flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry. Then, the cellular uptake of USPIO probes was investigated by Prussian blue staining assay and in vitro MRI (T2-weighted and T2-map) with a 3.0 Tesla clinical MR scanner.
RESULTS Our data showed that the double antibody-conjugated probe UAG had the best specificity in targeting Hepa1-6/GPC3 cells expressing AFP and GPC3 antigens compared with single antibody-conjugated and unconjugated USPIO probes. The iron Prussian blue staining and quantitative T2-map MRI analysis showed that, compared with UA, UG, and U, the uptake of double antigen-targeted UAG probe demonstrated a 23.3% (vs UA), 15.4% (vs UG), and 57.3% (vs U) increased Prussian stained cell percentage and a 14.93% (vs UA), 9.38% (vs UG), and 15.3% (vs U) reduction of T2 relaxation time, respectively. Such bi-specific probe might have the potential to overcome tumor heterogeneity. Meanwhile, the coupling of two antibodies did not influence the magnetic performance of USPIO, and the relatively small hydrodynamic size (59.60 ± 1.87 nm) of double antibody-conjugated USPIO probe makes it a viable candidate for use in MHCC MRI in vivo, as they are slowly phagocytosed by macrophages.
CONCLUSION The bi-specific probe presents enhanced targeting efficiency and MRI sensitivity to HCC cells than singly- or non-targeted USPIO, paving the way for in vivo translation to further evaluate its clinical potential.

Abstract
In recent years, polysaccharide-decorated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have gained attention in the field of “nanotheranostics” with integrated diagnostic and therapeutic functions. Carboxymethyl Assam bora rice starch-stabilized SPIONs (CM-ABRS SPIONs), synthesized by co-precipitation method, has already shown exciting potential towards magnetic drug targeting potential. After establishing it as a promisable targeting carrier, the present study is focused on the next step i.e. to evaluate its In vitro anti-tumor potential by loading anticancer drug “Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX)” onto CM-ABRS SPIONs. DOX-loaded CM-ABRS SPIONs were physico-chemically characterized by DLS, zeta-potential, TEM, FT-IR, XRD, and VSM analysis. Spectroflourimetric analysis confirmed the maximum loading of DOX up to 6% (w/w) onto CM-ABRS SPIONs via electrostatic interactions. Further, molecular level drug performance was investigated by docking study against receptors (HER-2 and Folate receptor-α) over expressed in cancer cells and MTT assay (in MCF-7 and HeLa cell line), which conferred promisable results of DOX-CM-ABRS SPIONs as compared to standard DOX solution.

Abstract
Conventional drugs used for antibacterial therapy display several limitations. This is not due to antibiotics being ineffective, but rather due to their low bioavailability, limited penetration to sites of infection and the rise of drug-resistant bacteria. Although new delivery systems (e.g., nanoparticles) that are loaded with antibacterial drugs have been designed to overcome these limitations, therapeutic efficacy does not seem to have improved. Against this backdrop, stimuli-responsive antibiotic-loaded nanoparticles and materials with antimicrobial properties (nanoantibiotics) present the ability to enhance therapeutic efficacy, while also reducing drug resistance and side effects. These stimuli can either be exogenous (e.g., light, ultrasound) or endogenous (e.g., pH, variation in redox gradient, enzymes). This promising therapeutic approach relies on advances in materials science and increased knowledge of microorganism growth and biofilm formation. This review provides an overview in the field of antibacterial drug-delivery systems and nanoantibiotics that benefit from a response to specific triggers, and also presents a number of future prospects.

Abstract
Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells have shown great promise for application in regenerative medicine owing to their particular therapeutic effects, such as significant self-renewability, low immunogenicity, and ability to differentiate into a variety of specialized cells. However, there remain certain complicated and unavoidable problems that limit their further development and application. One of the challenges is to noninvasively monitor the delivery and biodistribution of transplanted stem cells during treatment without relying on behavioral endpoints or tissue histology, and it is important to explore the potential mechanisms to clarify how stem cells work in vivo. To solve these problems, various nanoparticles (NPs) and their corresponding imaging methods have been developed recently and have made great progress. In this review, we mainly discuss NPs used to label stem cells and their toxic effects on the latter, the imaging techniques to detect such NPs, and the current existing challenges in this field.

Abstract
Recently, due to their promising applications in biomedicine, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MPs) have become one of the research hotspots in the nanomedicine field. Since various synthetic modifications have been widely applied to these nanoparticles for better targeting behaviors, it is meaningful to apply the optimal magnetic field condition for each case. This will enable creating a safe and efficient drug targeting using different types of MPs. In the present study, we aimed to find out any changes of transepithelial transport of polysaccharide-coated MPs by applying the continuous or the pulsatile magnetic field condition. Our results with heparin-functionalized MPs indicate that the particle concentrations and the external magnetic field could influence the transepithelial permeability of the particles. In the presence of a continuously applied magnetic density, heparin-MPs at high concentrations, by forming magnetically-induced aggregation of particles over the cell surface layer, showed a lower cellular transport than those at low concentrations. Furthermore, the results from the quantitative chemical assays and imaging analyses showed that transepithelial transport of heparin-MPs (negatively charged) under the pulsatile magnetic field was higher than that under the continuous magnetic field (CP), whereas the starch-MPs (neutrally charged) showed a small difference in transepithelial transport or cell retention between pulsatile vs. continuous magnetic field conditions. Taken together, our results suggest that the external magnetic field should be differentially applied to control the cellular drug transport depending on the physicochemical properties of the surface chemistry of magnetic particles.

Abstract
Background: Studies have showed that nanoparticles have a certain anti-cancer activity and can inhibit many kinds of cancer cells. β-tricalcium phosphate nanoparticles (nano-β-TCP) displays better biodegradation, but the application and mechanism of nano-β-TCP in anti-cancer activity are still not clear. Purpose: The objective of this study was to synthesize nano-β-TCP and investigate its inhibitory properties and mechanism on hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Nano-β-TCP was synthesized using ethanol-water system and characterized. The effects of nano-β-TCP on cell viability, cell uptake, intracellular oxidative stress (ROS), cell cycle and apoptosis were also investigated with HepG2 cells and human hepatocyte cells (L-02). Intratumoral injection of nano-β-TCP was performed on the xenograft liver cancer model to explore the inhibitory effect and mechanism of nano-β-TCP on liver tumors. Results: In vitro results revealed that nano-β-TCP caused reduced cell viability of HepG2 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner. Nano-β-TCP was internalized through endocytosis and degraded in cells, resulting in obvious increase of the intracellular Ca2+ and PO4 3- ions. Nano-β-TCP induced cancer cells to produce ROS and induced apoptosis of tumor cells by an apoptotic signaling pathways both in extrinsic and intrinsic pathway. In addition, nano-β-TCP blocked cell cycle of HepG2 cells in G0/G1 phase and disturbed expression of some related cyclins. In vivo results showed that 40 mg/kg of nano-β-TCP had no significant toxic side effects, but could effectively suppress hepatocellular carcinoma growth. Conclusion: These findings revealed the anticancer effect of nano-β-TCP and also clarified the mechanism of its inhibitory effect on hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Self-assembled peptide hydrogels have emerged in recent years as the new paradigm in biomaterials research. We have contributed to this field the development of hydrogels based on dehydrodipeptides N-capped with naproxen. The dehydrodipeptide hydrogels can be loaded with drugs, thus being potential nanocarriers for drug delivery. In this work novel dehydrodipeptides containing tyrosine and aspartic acid amino acid residues N-capped with naproxen and C-terminal dehydrophenylalanine were prepared and characterized. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were incorporated into the dehydrodipeptide-based hydrogels and their effect on the self-assembly, structure and rheological and magnetic properties of the hydrogels was studied. Magnetic hydrogels, with incorporated SPIONs, displayed concentration-dependent T₂-MRI contrast enhancement. Moreover, upon magnetic excitation (alternating magnetic field -AMF-) the SPIONs were able to generate a significant amount of heat. Hence, magnetic hyperthermia can be used as a remote trigger for release of drug cargos and SPIONs incorporated into the self-assembled dehydrodipeptide hydrogels.

Abstract
Polymer coating has drawn increasing attention as a leading strategy to overcome the drawbacks of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) in targeted delivery of anticancer drugs. In this study, SPIONs were modified with heparin-Poloxamer (HP) shell to form a SPION@HP core-shell system for anticancer drug delivery. The obtained formulation was characterized by techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), vibration sample magnetometer (VSM), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results showed the successful attachment of HP shell on the surface of SPION core and the inability to cause considerable effects to the crystal structure and unique magnetic nature of SPION. The core-shell system maintains the morphological features of SPIONs and the desired size range. Notably, Doxorubicin (DOX), an anticancer drug, was effectively entrapped into the polymeric shell of SPION@HP, showing a loading efficiency of 66.9 ± 2.7% and controlled release up to 120 h without any initial burst effect. Additionally, MTT assay revealed that DOX-loaded SPION@HP exerted great anticancer effect against HeLa cells and could be safely used. These results pave the way for the application of SPION@HP as an effective targeted delivery system for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Numerous nanoparticles drug delivery systems for therapeutic implications in cancer treatment are in preclinical development as conventional chemotherapy has several drawbacks. A chemotherapeutic approach requires high doses of chemotherapeutic agents with low bioavailability, non-specific targeting, and above all, development of multiple drug resistance. In recent years, inorganic nano-drug delivery platforms (NDDPs; with a metal core) have emerged as potential chemotherapeutic systems in oncology. One of the major goals of developing inorganic NDDPs is to effectively address the targeted anti-cancer drug(s) delivery related problems by carrying the therapeutic agents to desired tumors sites. In this current review, we delve into summarizing the recent developments in targeted release of anti-cancer drugs loaded in inorganic NDDPs such as mesoporous silica nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, layered double hydroxides, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and calcium phosphate nanoparticles together with highlighting their therapeutic performance at tumor sites.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been extensively studied in biomedical applications for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. Stability is one of the key determinants dictating successful application of these nanoparticles (NPs) in biological systems. In this study, SPIONs were synthesized and coated with two protective shells-poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) or citric acid (CA)-and the stability was evaluated in biologically relevant media together with effect of serum protein supplementation. The stabilities of SPION, SPION-PMAA and SPION-CA in water, DMEM, RPMI, DMEM with 10% (v v-1), and RPMI with 10% (v v-1) fetal bovine serum were determined. Without protective shells, the NPs were not stable and formed large aggregates in all media tested. CA improved the stability of the NPs in water, but was not very effective in improving stability in cell culture media. Addition of serum slightly improved colloidal stability of SPION-CA, whereas inclusion of serum significantly improved the colloidal stability of SPION-PMAA. Serum proteins also found to enhance cellular viability of MCF-7 breast cancer cells after exposure to high concentrations of SPION-PMAA and SPION-CA. Different patterns of serum proteins binding to the NPs were observed, and cellular uptake in MCF-7 cells were investigated. The stabilized SPION-PMAA and SPION-CA NPs showed uptake activity with minimal background attachment. Therefore, the importance of colloidal stability of SPIONs for utilizing in future therapeutic or diagnostic purposes is illustrated.

Facile and low-cost synthesis of pure hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles from naturally occurring laterites and their superior adsorption capability towards acid-dyes. RSC Adv 2019; 9:21249-21257.

Abstract
Hematite nanoparticles have a broad range of outstanding applications such as in wastewater treatment, electrolytic studies, and photoelectrochemical and superparamagnetic applications. Therefore, the development of facile and novel methods to synthesize hematite nanoparticles using low-cost raw materials is an important and timely requirement. In this study, we have developed a facile economical route to synthesize hematite nanoparticles, directly from the naturally occurring material laterite. Laterite is a rock that is rich in Fe and Al with extensive distribution in large mineable quantities in many countries around the world, though not yet utilized for major industrial applications. In this method, ferric ions in the laterite were leached out using acid and the solution obtained was hydrolyzed with slow-release hydroxyl ions which were acquired by aqueous decomposition of urea. The resulted precursor was calcined to obtain hematite nanoparticles. Characterization data shows that the final product is comprised of spherical hematite nanoparticles with a narrow particle size vs. frequency distribution with an average particle diameter of 35 nm. The synthesized product has a purity of over 98%. Furthermore, the synthesized nanoparticles show an excellent adsorption percentage as high as 70%, even when the initial dye concentration in water is 5000 ppm and the amount of material is minimal, towards acid dyes which are excessively used in textile based industries. Such acid dyes are a threat to the environment when they are released into water bodies by industries in massive quantities. Therefore synthesized hematite nanoparticles are ideal to treat dye wastewater in industrial effluents because such nanoparticles are low cost and economical, and the synthesis procedure is rather facile and effective. High purity hematite nanoparticles have been synthesized by a facile method using naturally occurring laterites for industrial dye effluent treatment applications.![]()

Abstract
Nonspecific distribution and uncontrollable release of drugs in conventional drug delivery systems (CDDSs) have led to the development of smart nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems, which are also known as Smart Drug Delivery Systems (SDDSs). SDDSs can deliver drugs to the target sites with reduced dosage frequency and in a spatially controlled manner to mitigate the side effects experienced in CDDSs. Chemotherapy is widely used to treat cancer, which is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Site-specific drug delivery led to a keen interest in the SDDSs as an alternative to chemotherapy. Smart nanocarriers, nanoparticles used to carry drugs, are at the focus of SDDSs. A smart drug delivery system consists of smart nanocarriers, targeting mechanisms, and stimulus techniques. This review highlights the recent development of SDDSs for a number of smart nanocarriers, including liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, meso-porous silica nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, super paramagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and quantum dots. The nanocarriers are described in terms of their structures, classification, synthesis and degree of smartness. Even though SDDSs feature a number of advantages over chemotherapy, there are major concerns about the toxicity of smart nanocarriers; therefore, a substantial study on the toxicity and biocompatibility of the nanocarriers has been reported. Finally, the challenges and future research scope in the field of SDDSs are also presented. It is expected that this review will be widely useful for those who have been seeking new research directions in this field and for those who are about to start their studies in smart nanocarrier-based drug delivery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION For many years, the controlled delivery of therapeutic compounds has been a matter of great interest in the field of nanomedicine. Among the wide amount of drug nanocarriers, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) stand out from the crowd and constitute robust nanoplatforms since they can achieve high drug loading as well as targeting abilities stemming from their remarkable properties (magnetic and biological properties). These applications require precise design of the nanoparticles regarding several parameters which must be considered together in order to attain highest therapeutic efficacy. AREAS COVERED This short review presents recent developments in the field of cancer targeted drug delivery using magnetic nanocarriers as drug delivery systems. EXPERT OPINION The design of nanocarriers enabling efficient delivery of therapeutic compounds toward targeted locations is one of the major area of research in the targeted drug delivery field. By precisely shaping the structural properties of the iron oxide nanoparticles, drugs loaded onto the nanoparticles can be efficiently guided and selectively delivered toward targeted locations. With these goals in mind, special attention should be given to the pharmacokinetics and in vivo behavior of the developed nanocarriers.

Abstract
Nanostructured materials that have low tissue toxicity, multi-modal imaging capability and high photothermal conversion efficiency have great potential to enable image-guided near infrared (NIR) photothermal therapy (PTT). Here, we report a bifunctional nanoparticle (BFNP, ∼16 nm) comprised of a magnetic Fe3O4 core (∼9.1 nm) covered by a fluorescent carbon shell (∼3.4 nm) and prepared via a one-pot solvothermal synthesis method using ferrocene as the sole source. The BFNP exhibits excitation wavelength-tunable, upconverted and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence property due to the presence of the carbon shell, and superparamagnetic behavior resulted from the Fe3O4 core. BFNPs demonstrate dual-modal imaging capacity both in vitro and in vivo with fluorescent imaging excited under a varying wavelength from 405 nm to 820 nm and with T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (r2 = 264.76 mM-1 s-1). More significantly, BFNPs absorb and convert NIR light to heat enabling photothermal therapy as demonstrated mice bearing C6 glioblastoma. These BFNPs show promise as an advanced nanoplatform to provide imaging guided photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is an emerging technique drawing increasing attentions in biomedical, electronic, environmental, and industrial application. Nanoparticles (NPs) possess unique optical, electrical, catalytic, and thermal properties, among which magnetic NPs (MNPs) are one of the most important groups with excellent superparamagnetism property, large surface area, and biocompatibility. In this review, methods for synthesizing and functionalizing MNPs are summarized and linked to their applications in environmental science as either adsorbents or catalysts for removing contaminants from environmental matrices, illustrating stronger reactivity, higher removal capacity, and fast kinetics. Additionally, we also comprehensively discuss the application of MNPs as (bio)sensors to selectively and sensitively detect the presence of environmental contaminants or pathogenic bacteria. This work summarizes the recent progresses of using MNPs as powerful tools in environmental science and engineering, raising their state-of-art application from environmental perspectives and benefiting researchers interested in NPs and environmental studies.
