Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a prevalent and highly malignant bone tumor, characterized by its aggressive nature, invasiveness, and rapid progression, contributing to a high mortality rate, particularly among adolescents. Traditional treatment modalities, including surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, face significant challenges, especially in addressing chemotherapy resistance and managing postoperative recurrence and metastasis. Phototherapy (PT), encompassing photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), offers unique advantages such as low toxicity, minimal drug resistance, selective destruction, and temporal control, making it a promising approach for the clinical treatment of various malignant tumors. Constructing multifunctional delivery systems presents an opportunity to effectively combine tumor PDT, PTT, and chemotherapy, creating a synergistic anti-tumor effect. This review aims to consolidate the progress in the application of novel delivery system-mediated phototherapy in osteosarcoma. By summarizing advancements in this field, the objective is to propose a rational combination therapy involving targeted delivery systems and phototherapy for tumors, thereby expanding treatment options and enhancing the prognosis for osteosarcoma patients. In conclusion, the integration of innovative delivery systems with phototherapy represents a promising avenue in osteosarcoma treatment, offering a comprehensive approach to overcome challenges associated with conventional treatments and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Phagocytosis is the process of engulfment and internalization of comparatively large particles by cells, and plays a central role in the functioning of our immune system. We study the process of phagocytosis by considering a simplified coarse grained model of a three-dimensional vesicle, having a uniform adhesion interaction with a rigid particle, and containing curved membrane-bound protein complexes or curved membrane nano-domains, which in turn recruit active cytoskeletal forces. Complete engulfment is achieved when the bending energy cost of the vesicle is balanced by the gain in the adhesion energy. The presence of curved (convex) proteins reduces the bending energy cost by self-organizing with a higher density at the highly curved leading edge of the engulfing membrane, which forms the circular rim of the phagocytic cup that wraps around the particle. This allows the engulfment to occur at much smaller adhesion strength. When the curved membrane-bound protein complexes locally recruit actin polymerization machinery, which leads to outward forces being exerted on the membrane, we found that engulfment is achieved more quickly and at a lower protein density. We consider spherical and non-spherical particles and found that non-spherical particles are more difficult to engulf in comparison to the spherical particles of the same surface area. For non-spherical particles, the engulfment time crucially depends on the initial orientation of the particles with respect to the vesicle. Our model offers a mechanism for the spontaneous self-organization of the actin cytoskeleton at the phagocytic cup, in good agreement with recent high-resolution experimental observations.

Abstract
Background Recent studies demonstrate that titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are an effective source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for photodynamic therapy and radionuclide stimulated dynamic therapy (RaST). Unfortunately tracking the in vivo distribution of TiO2 NPs noninvasively remains elusive. Objective Given the use of gadolinium (Gd) chelates as effective contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), this study aims to (1) develop hybrid TiO2-Gd NPs that exhibit high relaxivity for tracking the NPs without loss of ROS generating capacity; and (2) establish a simple colorimetric assay for quantifying Gd loading and stability. Methods A chelate-free, heat-induced method was used to load Gd onto TiO2 NPs, which was coated with transferrin (Tf). A sensitive colorimetric assay and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) were used to determine Gd loading and stability of the TiO2-Gd-Tf NPs. Measurement of the relaxivity was performed on a 1.4 T relaxometer and a 4.7 T small animal magnetic resonance scanner to estimate the effects of magnetic field strength. ROS was quantified by activated dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate fluorescence. Cell uptake of the NPs and RaST were monitored by fluorescence microscopy. Both 3 T and 4.7 T scanners were used to image the in vivo distribution of intravenously injected NPs in tumor-bearing mice. Results A simple colorimetric assay accurately determined both the loading and stability of the NPs compared with the expensive and complex ICP-MS method. Coating of the TiO2-Gd NPs with Tf stabilized the nanoconstruct and minimized aggregation. The TiO2-Gd-Tf maintained ROS-generating capability without inducing cell death at a wide range of concentrations but induced significant cell death under RaST conditions in the presence of F-18 radiolabeled 2-fluorodeoxyglucose. The longitudinal (r1 = 10.43 mM-1s-1) and transverse (r2 = 13.43 mM-1s-1) relaxivity of TiO2-Gd-Tf NPs were about twice and thrice, respectively, those of clinically used Gd contrast agent (Gd-DTPA; r1 = 3.77 mM-1s-1 and r2 = 5.51 mM-1s-1) at 1.4 T. While the r1 (8.13 mM-1s-1) reduced to about twice that of Gd-DTPA (4.89 mM-1s-1) at 4.7 T, the corresponding r2 (87.15 mM-1s-1) increased by a factor 22.6 compared to Gd-DTPA (r2 = 3.85). MRI of tumor-bearing mice injected with TiO2-Gd-Tf NPs tracked the NPs distribution and accumulation in tumors. Conclusion This work demonstrates that Arsenazo III colorimetric assay can substitute ICP-MS for determining the loading and stability of Gd-doped TiO2 NPs. The new nanoconstruct enabled RaST effect in cells, exhibited high relaxivity, and enhanced MRI contrast in tumors in vivo, paving the way for in vivo MRI-guided RaST.

Abstract
The unsatisfactory performance of current gadolinium chelate based T1 contrast agents (CAs) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) stimulates the search for better alternatives. Herein, we report a new strategy to substantially improve the capacity of nanoparticle-based T1 CAs by exploiting the photoinduced superhydrophilic assistance (PISA) effect. As a proof of concept, we synthesized citrate-coated Gd-doped TiO2 ellipsoidal nanoparticles (GdTi-SC NPs), whose r1 increases significantly upon UV irradiation. The reduced water contact angle and the increased number of surface hydroxyl groups substantiate the existence of the PISA effect, which considerably promotes the efficiency of paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) and thus the imaging performance of GdTi-SC NPs. In vivo MRI of SD rats with GdTi-SC NPs further demonstrates that GdTi-SC NPs could serve as a high-performance CA for sensitive imaging of blood vessels and accurate diagnosis of vascular lesions, indicating the success of our strategy.

Abstract
A molecular precursor approach to titania (anatase) nanopowders modified with different amounts of rare-earth elements (REEs: Eu, Sm, and Y) was developed using the interaction of REE nitrates with titanium alkoxides by a two-step solvothermal-combustion method. The nature of an emerging intermetallic intermediate was revealed unexpectedly for the applied conditions via a single-crystal study of the isolated bimetallic isopropoxide nitrate complex [Ti2Y(iPrO)9(NO3)2], a nonoxo-substituted compound. Powders of the final reaction products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL). The addition of REEs stabilized the anatase phase up to ca. 700 °C before phase transformation into rutile became evident. The photocatalytic activity of titania modified with Eu3+ and Sm3+ was compared with that of Degussa P25 titania as the control. PL studies indicated the incorporation of Eu and Sm cations into titania (anatase) at lower annealing temperatures (500 °C), but an exclusion to the surface occurred when the annealing temperature was increased to 700 °C. The efficiency of the modified titania was inferior to the control titania while illuminated within narrow wavelength intervals (445-465 and 510-530 nm), but when subjected to a wide range of visible radiation, the Eu3+- and Sm3+-modified titania outperformed the control, which was attributed both to doping of the band structure of TiO2 with additional energy levels and to the surface chemistry of the REE-modified titania.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a common primary bone malignancy, with a 5-year survival rate of only 20–30% in patients undergoing surgical treatment. Thus, it is important to identify novel methods for diagnosing and treating osteosarcoma, which was the aim of the present study. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was used as the tumor-targeting protein to synthesize a multifunctional core-shell nanostructure, Au@SiO2-drug/VEGF, in which the drug can be indocyanine green (ICG; as an optical tracer) or doxorubicin (DOX; as a chemotherapeutic agent). With VEGF as the osteosarcoma-targeting protein, Au exhibited optimal photothermal transformation performance, while SiO2 served as the carrier for the drug. Au@SiO2-ICG/VEGF nanoparticles (NPs) were evaluated for imaging and for the monitoring of drug accumulation in a tumor region in mice. Once the optimal drug accumulation was achieved, combined treatment of osteosarcoma (chemotherapy and photothermal therapy) was assessed. In the perioperative period associated with minimal invasive embolization of osteosarcoma, photothermal therapy and chemotherapy were applied for osteosarcoma diagnosis using Au@SiO2-DOX/VEGF NPs. Taken together, the results of the present study provide a promising strategy for tumor detection prior to surgical treatment to improve the survival outcome of patients with osteosarcoma.

Abstract
In this review paper, we theoretically explain the origin of electrostatic interactions between lipid bilayers and charged solid surfaces using a statistical mechanics approach, where the orientational degree of freedom of lipid head groups and the orientational ordering of the water dipoles are considered. Within the modified Langevin Poisson–Boltzmann model of an electric double layer, we derived an analytical expression for the osmotic pressure between the planar zwitterionic lipid bilayer and charged solid planar surface. We also show that the electrostatic interaction between the zwitterionic lipid head groups of the proximal leaflet and the negatively charged solid surface is accompanied with a more perpendicular average orientation of the lipid head-groups. We further highlight the important role of the surfaces’ nanostructured topography in their interactions with biological material. As an example of nanostructured surfaces, we describe the synthesis of TiO2 nanotubular and octahedral surfaces by using the electrochemical anodization method and hydrothermal method, respectively. The physical and chemical properties of these nanostructured surfaces are described in order to elucidate the influence of the surface topography and other physical properties on the behavior of human cells adhered to TiO2 nanostructured surfaces. In the last part of the paper, we theoretically explain the interplay of elastic and adhesive contributions to the adsorption of lipid vesicles on the solid surfaces. We show the numerically predicted shapes of adhered lipid vesicles corresponding to the minimum of the membrane free energy to describe the influence of the vesicle size, bending modulus, and adhesion strength on the adhesion of lipid vesicles on solid charged surfaces.

Abstract
Bone diseases constitute a major issue for modern societies as a consequence of progressive aging. Advantages such as open mesoporous channel, high specific surface area, ease of surface modification, and multifunctional integration are the driving forces for the application of mesoporous nanoparticles (MNs) in bone disease diagnosis and treatment. To achieve better therapeutic effects, it is necessary to understand the properties of MNs and cargo delivery mechanisms, which are the foundation and key in the design of MNs. The main types and characteristics of MNs for bone regeneration, such as mesoporous silica (mSiO2 ), mesoporous hydroxyapatite (mHAP), mesoporous calcium phosphates (mCaPs) are introduced. Additionally, the relationship between the cargo release mechanisms and bone regeneration of MNs-based nanocarriers is elucidated in detail. Particularly, MNs-based smart cargo transport strategies such as sustained cargo release, stimuli-responsive (e.g., pH, photo, ultrasound, and multi-stimuli) controllable delivery, and specific bone-targeted therapy for bone disease diagnosis and treatment are analyzed and discussed in depth. Lastly, the conclusions and outlook about the design and development of MNs-based cargo delivery systems in diagnosis and treatment for bone tissue engineering are provided to inspire new ideas and attract researchers' attention from multidisciplinary areas spanning chemistry, materials science, and biomedicine.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) impair LPS-driven immune responses by promoting a tolerogenic-like dendritic cell phenotype with altered endosomal structures. NANOSCALE 2021; 13:7648-7666.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) shape immune responses by influencing T-cell activation. Thus, they are considered both an interesting model for studying nano-immune interactions and a promising target for nano-based biomedical applications. However, the accentuated ability of nanoparticles (NPs) to interact with biomolecules may have an impact on DC function that poses an unexpected risk of unbalanced immune reactions. Here, we investigated the potential effects of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on DC function and the consequences for effector and memory T-cell responses in the presence of the microbial inflammatory stimulus lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Overall, we found that, in the absence of LPS, none of the tested NPs induced a DC response. However, whereas 4-, 8-, and 11 nm AuNPs did not modulate LPS-dependent immune responses, 26 nm AuNPs shifted the phenotype of LPS-activated DCs toward a tolerogenic state, characterized by downregulation of CD86, IL-12 and IL-27, upregulation of ILT3, and induction of class E compartments. Moreover, this DC phenotype was less proficient in promoting Th1 activation and central memory T-cell proliferation. Taken together, these findings support the perception that AuNPs are safe under homeostatic conditions; however, particular care should be taken in patients experiencing a current infection or disorders of the immune system.

MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13235396. [PMID: 33261087 PMCID: PMC7729443 DOI: 10.3390/ma13235396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2020] [Revised: 11/23/2020] [Accepted: 11/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Evolutions of two typical types of nonmetallic inclusions, i.e., inclusions based on CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 and MnO-SiO2-Al2O3 of 304 stainless steel were investigated in laboratory-scale experiments under isothermal heat treatment at 1250 °C for 0, 30, 60 and 120 min. Results show inclusion population density increases at the first stage and then decreases while their average size decreases and then increases. Moreover, almost no Cr2O3 content within the inclusion before the heat treatment, but Cr2O3 content increases gradually along with increasing heat treatment time. Furthermore, the increasing of Cr2O3 content in the inclusions would increase their melting points and reduce their plasticities. The experimental results and thermodynamic analysis indicate that there are three steps for inclusion evolution during the heat treatment process, in which Ostwald ripening plays an important role in inclusion evolution, i.e., inclusions grow by absorbing the newly formed small-size MnO-Cr2O3 inclusions.

Abstract
Cancer theranostics is a new strategy for combating cancer that integrates cancer imaging and treatment through theranostic agents to provide an efficient and safe way to improve cancer prognosis. Design and synthesis of these cancer theranostic agents are crucial since these agents are required to be biocompatible, tumor-specific, imaging distinguishable and therapeutically efficacious. In this regard, several types of gadolinium (Gd)-based nanomaterials have been introduced to combine different therapeutic agents with Gd to enhance the efficacy of therapeutic agents. At the same time, the entire treatment procedure could be monitored via imaging tools due to incorporation of Gd ions, Gd chelates and Gd/other imaging probes in the theranostic agents. This review aims to overview recent advances in the Gd-based nanomaterials for cancer theranostics and perspectives for Gd nanomaterial-based cancer theranostics are provided.

Abstract
Objective Titanium oxide (TiO2) acts as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy by mediating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. This study aimed to investigate the effect of TiO2 on ER stress in liver cancer cells. Methods Normal human liver and human hepatocarcinoma cell lines were incubated with various concentrations of TiO2 nanotubes for 48 hours. Cell growth, apoptosis, cell cycle, and cellular ROS were detected. Expression levels of ER stress sensors (PERK and ATF6) and Bax were evaluated by western blot. The effect of TiO2 on liver cancer growth was also investigated in mice in vivo. Results TiO2 inhibited cell growth, increased apoptosis and cellular ROS levels, and arrested the cell cycle in G1 stage in liver cancer cells. TiO2 also increased PERK, ATF6, and Bax expression levels in liver cancer cells in dose-dependent manners. TiO2 had no significant effect on cell growth, apoptosis, ROS level, cell cycle distribution, or PERK, ATF6, or Bax expression in normal liver cells. TiO2 administration reduced tumor volume and increased PERK, Bax, and ATF6 expression levels in tumor tissues in vivo. Conclusions TiO2 nanoparticles increased ROS-induced ER stress and activated the PERK/ATF6/Bax axis in liver cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary bone sarcoma, manifesting as osteogenesis by malignant cells. Nowadays, patients’ quality of life has been improved, however continuing high rates of limb amputation, pulmonary metastasis and drug toxicity, remain unresolved issues. Thus, effective osteosarcoma therapies are still required. Recently, the potentialities of biophysical treatments in osteosarcoma have been evaluated and seem to offer a promising future, thanks in this field as they are less invasive. Several approaches have been investigated such as hyperthermia (HT), high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) and sono- and photodynamic therapies (SDT, PDT). This review aims to summarize in vitro and in vivo studies and clinical trials employing biophysical stimuli in osteosarcoma treatment. The findings underscore how the technological development of biophysical therapies might represent an adjuvant role and, in some cases, alternative role to the surgery, radio and chemotherapy treatment of OS. Among them, the most promising are HIFU and HT, which are already employed in OS patient treatment, while LIPUS/SDT and PDT seem to be particularly interesting for their low toxicity.

Abstract
The use of titanium suboxides, known as Magnéli phase TiOx, is expected to increase in the near future due to their desirable properties. In order to use Magnéli phase TiOx nanoparticles safely, it is necessary to know how nanoparticles interact with biological systems. In this study, the cytotoxicity of three different Magnéli TiOx nanoparticles was evaluated using human lung A549 cells and the results were compared with hazard data on two different TiO₂ nanoparticles whose biological interactions have already been extensively studied. After A549 cells were exposed to nanoparticles, the metabolic activity was measured by the Resazurin assay, the amount of cellular proteins was measured by the Coomassie Blue assay, and lysosomal integrity was measured by the Neutral Red Uptake assay. In order to investigate possible modes of particle actions, intracellular Ca2+ level, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and photo-oxidative disruptions of lysosomal membranes were assessed. All experiments were performed in serum-containing and in serum-deprived cell culture mediums. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of Magnéli TiOx and TiO₂ nanoparticles was measured. The results show that Magnéli TiOx nanoparticles increase intracellular Ca2+ but not ROS levels. In contrast, TiO₂ nanoparticles increase ROS levels, resulting in a higher cytotoxicity. Although Magnéli TiOx nanoparticles showed a lower UV-A photocatalytic activity, the photo-stability of the lysosomal membranes was decreased by a greater extent, possibly due to particle accumulation inside lysosomes. We provide evidence that Magnéli TiOx nanoparticles have lower overall biological activity when compared with the two TiO₂ formulations. However, some unique cellular interactions were detected and should be further studied in line with possible Magnéli TiOx application. We conclude that Magnéli phase nanoparticles could be considered as low toxic material same as other forms of titanium oxide particles.

Abstract
The oxygen-deprived environment of a solid tumor is still great restriction in achieving an efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, we developed a smart pH-controllable and H2O2-responsive nanoplatform with degradable property, which was based on honeycomb manganese oxide (hMnO2) nanospheres loaded with Ce6-sensitized core-shell-shell structured up-conversion nanoparticles (NaGdF4:Yb/Er,Tm@NaGdF4:Yb@NaNdF4:Yb) (abbreviated as hMUC). In the system, the speedy breakup of the as-prepared hMnO2 nanostructures results in release of loaded Ce6-sensitized UCNPs under the condition of H2O2 in acid solution. When exposed to tissue-penetrable 808 nm laser, up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) emit higher-energy visible photons which would be absorbed by Ce6 to yield cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus triggering PDT treatment naturally. Moreover, the in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that hMUC sample with the honeycomb-satellite structure can serve as multimodal bioimaging contrast agent for self-enhanced upconversion luminescence (UCL), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) imaging, indicating that the as-prepared hMUC could be used in imaging-guided diagnosis and treatment, which has a potential application in the PDT treatment of tumor.

Abstract
Small hydrophobic gold nanoparticles with diameter lower than the membrane thickness can form clusters or uniformly distribute within the hydrophobic core of the bilayer. The coexistence of two stable phases (clustered and dispersed) indicates the energy barrier between nanoparticles. We calculated the distance dependence of the membrane-mediated interaction between two adjacent nanoparticles. In our model we consider two deformation modes: the monolayer bending and the hydroxycarbon chain stretching. Existence of an energy barrier between the clustered and the separated state of nanoparticles was predicted. Variation analysis of the membrane mechanical parameters revealed that the energy barrier between two membrane embedded nanoparticles is mainly the consequence of the bending deformation and not change of the thickness of the bilayer in the vicinity of nanoparticles. It is shown, that the forces between the nanoparticles embedded in the biological membrane could be either attractive or repulsive, depending on the mutual distance between them.

Abstract
The high photocatalytic power of TiO2 nanoparticles has drawn great attention in environmental and medical applications. Coating surfaces with these particles enables us to benefit from self-cleaning properties and decomposition of pollutants. In this paper, two strategies have been introduced to coat ceramic tiles with TiO2 nanoparticles, and the self-cleaning effect of the surfaces on degradation of an organic dye under ultraviolent (UV) exposure is investigated. In the first approach, a simple one-step heat treatment method is introduced for coating, and different parameters of the heat treatment process are examined. In the second method, TiO2 nanoparticles are first aminosilanized using (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) treatment followed by their covalently attachment onto CO2 plasma treated ceramic tiles via N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) chemistry. We monitor TiO2 nanoparticle sizes throughout the coating process using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and characterize developed surfaces using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Moreover, hydrophilicity of the coated surfaces is quantified using a contact angle measurement. It is shown that applying a one-step heat treatment process with the optimum temperature of 200 °C for 5 h results in successful coating of nanoparticles and rapid degradation of dye in a short time. In the second strategy, the APTES treatment creates a stable covalent coating, while the photocatalytic capability of the particles is preserved. The results show that coated ceramic tiles are capable of fully degrading the added dyes under UV exposure in less than 24 h.

Abstract
To reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and achieve effective and safe therapy for prostate cancer, herein a simple but multi-functional TiO2:Gd@DOX/FA system activated by ultrasound was developed for the MRI-guided multi-mechanism therapy of prostate cancer. TiO2 nanoparticles served as a sonosensitizer as well as a nanocarrier with the pH-responsive release of DOX. The doping of Gd was not only able to endow the TiO2 with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ability, but also further improve the sonodynamic ability of the TiO2. The characterization of the as-prepared TiO2:Gd@DOX/FA showed sensitive pH-responsive drug release, high reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, T 1-MRI contrast performance and excellent biocompatibility. The cytotoxicity assay in vitro showed cell death up to 91.68% after 48 h incubation induced by the TiO2:Gd@DOX + ultrasound group. Meanwhile, in the in vivo synergistic therapy studies, the tumor sizes of all the nanomedicine groups were smaller than for the free DOX (V:V 0 = 4.2). More importantly, the body showed nearly no weight loss. This safety was also confirmed by the H&E staining, biodistribution experiment and serum biochemistry results. Altogether, TiO2:Gd@DOX/FA significantly reduced the side effects of DOX, augmented the levels of ROS and achieved effective and safe therapy, indicating its potential for the multi-mechanism therapy of prostate cancer.
