Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer treatment is still a global health challenge. Nowadays, chemotherapy is widely applied for treating cancer and reducing its burden. However, its application might be in accordance with various adverse effects by exposing the healthy tissues and multidrug resistance (MDR), leading to disease relapse or metastasis. In addition, due to tumor heterogeneity and the varied pharmacokinetic features of prescribed drugs, combination therapy has only shown modestly improved results in MDR malignancies. Nanotechnology has been explored as a potential tool for cancer treatment, due to the efficiency of nanoparticles to function as a vehicle for drug delivery. METHODS With this viewpoint, functionalized nanosystems have been investigated as a potential strategy to overcome drug resistance. RESULTS This approach aims to improve the efficacy of anticancer medicines while decreasing their associated side effects through a range of mechanisms, such as bypassing drug efflux, controlling drug release, and disrupting metabolism. This review discusses the MDR mechanisms contributing to therapeutic failure, the most cutting-edge approaches used in nanomedicine to create and assess nanocarriers, and designed nanomedicine to counteract MDR with emphasis on recent developments, their potential, and limitations. CONCLUSIONS Studies have shown that nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery confers distinct benefits over traditional pharmaceuticals, including improved biocompatibility, stability, permeability, retention effect, and targeting capabilities.

[PMID: 36320489 PMCID: PMC9540528 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra04698a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Micelle-entrapped silica xerogel (M-Silica xerogel) was biomimetically synthesized to combine the advantages of micelles and silica xerogel to load poorly water-soluble drug itraconazole (ITZ). Tween 20, tween 40, and tween 80 were applied to prepare micelles as the templates for M20-Silica xerogel, M40-Silica xerogel, and M80-Silica xerogel, respectively. During the silica frame construction, the surfactant formed a micelle as the porous template, silicon hydroxyl groups interacted with the hydrophilic parts of the micelle, and polyethylenimine catalyzed silica polycondensation owing to its amino groups, resulting in the formation of the M-Silica xerogels. The results showed that the particle size of the sub-particles from the M40-Silica xerogel was larger than from the M20-Silica xerogel, and the M80-Silica xerogel was the largest among these three samples, demonstrating that the emulsifying ability had a direct impact on the particle size of the M-Silica xerogel. The M-Silica xerogel had a large pore size in the range of 10-50 nm. Small mesopores (2-5 nm) dominated the pore size of the M20-Silica xerogel, while medium mesopores (5-10 nm) occupied most the pore distribution of the M40-Silica xerogel, and large mesopores (10-50 nm) shouldered most the pore distribution for the M80-Silica xerogel. Among these three drug-loaded carriers, the M40-Silica xerogel with the largest amount of medium mesopores presented the best ITZ-release behavior, demonstrating that medium mesopores facilitated drug release, while small mesopores impeded drug release and large mesopores were not favorable to retaining amorphous drugs in the pores.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer is a persistent problem in chemotherapy. Scientists have considered the overexpressed efflux transporters responsible for MDR and chemotherapy failure. MDR extremely limits the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy in cancer treatment. Many strategies have been applied to solve this problem. Multifunctional nanoparticles may be one of the most promising approaches to reverse MDR of tumor. These nanoparticles can keep stability in the blood circulation and selectively accumulated in the tumor microenvironment (TME) either by passive or active targeting. The stimuli-sensitive or organelle-targeting nanoparticles can release the drug at the targeted-site without exposure to normal tissues. In order to better understand reversal of MDR, three main strategies are concluded in this review. First strategy is the synergistic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs and ABC transporter inhibitors. Through directly inhibiting overexpressed ABC transporters, chemotherapeutic drugs can enter into resistant cells without being efflux. Second strategy is based on nanoparticles circumventing over-expressed efflux transporters and directly targeting resistance-related organelles. Third approach is the combination of multiple therapy modes overcoming cancer resistance. At last, numerous researches demonstrated cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) had a deep relation with drug resistance. Here, we discuss two different drug delivery approaches of nanomedicine based on CSC therapy.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells reduces chemotherapeutic efficacy by preventing drug accumulation in the cells through a drug efflux pump and lysosomal sequestration/exocytosis. Herein, to overcome such anticancer resistance, lysosome-targeted self-assembly of perylene diimide (PDI) derivatives is presented as a powerful strategy for effective and selective anticancer therapy. Stimulated by the lysosomal low pH, the amphiphilic PDI derivatives functionalized with amino acids (PDI-AAs) construct fibrous self-assembled structures inside the lysosomes, causing cancer cell apoptosis by lysosomal rupture. In contrast, negligible apoptosis was observed from normal cells by PDI-AA. The agglomerated fibrous assemblies were not removed by lysosomal exocytosis, thereby displaying a 10.7-fold higher anticancer efficacy on MDR cancer cells compared to a doxorubicin chemotherapeutic agent. The MDR-circumventing capability, along with high selectivity toward cancer cells, supports PDI-AAs as potential candidates for the treatment of MDR cancer cells by lysosome-targeted self-assembly.

Abstract
Therapeutic efficacy against cancer relies heavily on the ability of the therapeutic agents to reach their final targets. The optimal targets of most cancer therapeutic agents are usually biological macromolecules at the subcellular level, which play a key role in carcinogenesis. Therefore, to improve the therapeutic efficiency of drugs, researchers need to focus on delivering not only the therapeutic agents to the target tissues and cells but also the drugs to the relevant subcellular structures. In this review, we discuss the most recent construction strategies and release patterns of various cancer cell subcellular-targeting nanoformulations, aiming at providing guidance in the overall design of precise nanomedicine. Additionally, future challenges and potential perspectives are illustrated in the hope of enhancing anticancer efficacy and accelerating the translational progress of precise nanomedicine.

Abstract
Every year, cancer accounts for a vast portion of deaths worldwide. Established clinical protocols are based on chemotherapy, which, however, is not tumor-selective and produces a series of unbearable side effects in healthy tissues. As a consequence, multidrug resistance (MDR) can arise causing metastatic progression and disease relapse. Combination therapy has demonstrated limited responses in the treatment of MDR, mainly due to the different pharmacokinetic properties of administered drugs and to tumor heterogeneity, challenges that still need to be solved in a significant percentage of cancer patients. In this perspective, we briefly discuss the most relevant MDR mechanisms leading to therapy failure and we report the most advanced strategies adopted in the nanomedicine field for the design and evaluation of ad hoc nanocarriers. We present some emerging classes of nanocarriers developed to reverse MDR and discuss recent progress evidencing their limits and promises.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a key issue accounting for ineffectiveness of cancer chemotherapy. Numerous multifunctional nanocarriers have been developed to increase drug delivery efficacy and inhibit drug efflux for overcoming cancer drug resistance. However, limited success has been achieved in clinic because of nanocarriers' complicated multi-step fabrication procedures and their undesired side toxicity as well as potential immunogenicity. Here, hyaluronic acid (HA) functionalized extracellular vesicles (EVs) are generated as natural vehicles to efficiently deliver doxorubicin (DOX) and reverse MDR. The EVs isolated from noncancerous HEK293T cells (hEVs) reduce P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression in drug resistant MCF7/ADR cells. To acquire tumor-targeting capability, hEVs are modified with lipidomimetic chains-grafted HA (lipHA) by a simple incubation. Owing to CD44-mediated cancer-specific targeting and P-gp suppressive capability, the HA-functionalized hEVs (lipHA-hEVs) remarkably promote the intracellular DOX accumulation in drug resistant breast cancer cells. In preclinical MDR tumor models, lipHA-hEVs deeply penetrate into tumor tissue and effectively transport DOX into tumor local, while eliminating DOX's systemic toxicity. Importantly, DOX@lipHA-hEVs inhibited MDR tumor growth by 89% and extend animal survival time by approximately 50%. Thus, our engineered tumor-targeting hEVs are promising natural carriers for overcoming cancer MDR.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is still one of the main cancer therapy treatments, but the curative effect of chemotherapy is relatively low, as such the development of a new cancer treatment is highly desirable. The gradual maturation of nanotechnology provides an innovative perspective not only for cancer therapy but also for many other applications. There are a diverse variety of nanoparticles available, and choosing the appropriate carriers according to the demand is the key issue. The performance of nanoparticles is affected by many parameters, mainly size, shape, surface charge, and toxicity. Using nanoparticles as the carriers to realize passive targeting and active targeting can improve the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs significantly, reduce the mortality rate of cancer patients, and improve the quality of life of patients. In recent years, there has been extensive research on nanocarriers. In this review, the effects of several major parameters of nanoparticles on their physical and chemical properties are reviewed, and then the recent progress in the application of several commonly used nanoparticles is presented.

Abstract
A fast adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-depleting micellar system that is activated by intracellular redox for the codelivery of anticancer drug paclitaxel (PTX) and small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting polo-like kinase1 (PLK1) is developed to address the key challenges of multidrug-resistant (MDR) cancer therapy. The ATP-depleting micelle is self-assembled from a redox-responsive amphiphilic polymer (termed as bPEG-SS-P123-PEI (PSPP)) that is composed of biocompatible branched polyethylene glycol (PEG) with 8 arms (bPEG), ATP-depleting Pluronic P123 (P123), and cationic low molecular weight polyethylenimine (PEI) blocks. Upon critical micelle concentration, the PSPP unimer self-assembles into a well-ordered multilayered nanostructure and is able to load PTX and siRNA targeting PLK1. The cleavage of disulfide linkages at intracellular glutathione-rich reduction milieu not only promotes PTX and siRNA release, but also activates the fast ATP-depletion action that is critical in preventing intracellular PTX efflux by multidrug-resistant cancer cells. The combination of ATP depletion and siRNA inhibition by PSPP micelles is found to provide dual modulations for resensitizing multidrug-resistant cancer cells for PTX treatment. As a result, the codelivery of PTX and PLK1 siRNA exerts a stronger combinational effect against tumor growth in MDR tumor models in vivo. The development of fast ATP-depleting nanomicelle represents an original delivery strategy for the distinctive dual modulation of cancer MDR with spatial and temporal control.

Abstract
Cancer multidrug resistance (MDR) could lead to therapeutic failure of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and has become one of the main obstacles to successful cancer treatment. Some advanced drug delivery platforms, such as inorganic nanocarriers, demonstrate a high potential for cancer theranostic to overcome the cancer-specific limitation of conventional low-molecular-weight anticancer agents and imaging probes. Specifically, it could achieve synergetic therapeutic effects, demonstrating stronger killing effects to MDR cancer cells by combining the inorganic nanocarriers with other treatment manners, such as RNA interference and thermal therapy. Moreover, the inorganic nanocarriers could provide imaging functions to help monitor treatment responses, e.g., drug resistance and therapeutic effects, as well as analyze the mechanism of MDR by molecular imaging modalities. In this review, the mechanisms involved in cancer MDR and recent advances of applying inorganic nanocarriers for MDR cancer imaging and therapy are summarized. The inorganic nanocarriers may circumvent cancer MDR for effective therapy and provide a way to track the therapeutic processes for real-time molecular imaging, demonstrating high performance in studying the interaction of nanocarriers and MDR cancer cells/tissues in laboratory study and further shedding light on elaborate design of nanocarriers that could overcome MDR for clinical translation.
