[PMID: 38761583 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
The traditional clinical approaches for oral cancer consist of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and so on. However, these treatments often induce side effects and exhibit limited efficacy. Photothermal therapy (PTT) emerges as a promising adjuvant treatment, utilizing photothermal agents (PTAs) to convert light energy into heat for tumor ablation. Another innovative approach, photodynamic therapy (PDT), leverages photosensitizers (PSs) and specific wavelength laser irradiation to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), offering an effective and non-toxic alternative. The relevant combination therapies have been reported in the field of oral cancer. Simultaneously, the advancement of nanomaterials has propelled the clinical application of PTT and PDT. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of PTT and PDT is required for better application in oral cancer treatment. Here, we review the use of PTT and PDT in oral cancer, including noble metal materials (e.g., Au nanoparticles), carbon materials (e.g., graphene oxide), organic dye molecules (e.g., indocyanine green), organic molecule-based agents (e.g., porphyrin-analog phthalocyanine) and other inorganic materials (e.g., MXenes), exemplify the advantages and disadvantages of common PTAs and PSs, and summarize the combination therapies of PTT with PDT, PTT/PDT with chemotherapy, PTT with radiotherapy, PTT/PDT with immunotherapy, and PTT/PDT with gene therapy in the treatment of oral cancer. The challenges related to the PTT/PDT combination therapy and potential solutions are also discussed.

Abstract
In the last 20 years, protein, peptide and nucleic acid-based therapies have become the fastest growing sector in the pharmaceutical industry and play a vital role in disease therapy. However, the intrinsic sensitivity and large molecular sizes of biotherapeutics limit the available routes of administration. Currently, the main administration routes of biomacromolecules, such as parenteral, oral, pulmonary, nasal, rectal and buccal routes, each have their limitations. Several non-invasive strategies have been proposed to overcome these challenges. Researchers were particularly interested in microneedles (MNs) and polymeric films because of their less invasiveness, convenience and greater potential to preserve the bioactivity of biotherapeutics. By facilitating with MNs and polymeric films, biomacromolecules could provide significant benefits to patients suffering from various diseases such as cancer, diabetes, infectious and ocular diseases. However, before these devices can be used on patients, how to upscale MN manufacture in a cost-effective and timely manner, as well as the long-term safety of MN and polymeric film applications necessitates further investigation.

Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2021; 37:102575. [PMID: 34628073 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2021.102575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The present study examines the designer of DNA polymeric films (DNA-PFs) associated with aluminum chloride phthalocyanine (AlClPc) (DNA-PFs-AlClPc), as a promising drug delivery system (DDS), applicable for breast cancer treatment and early-stage diagnosis using photodynamic therapy (PDT). This study starts evaluating (MCF7) as a model for breast cancer cell behavior associated with DNA-PFs. Analyses of the morphological behaviors, biochemical reaction, and MCF7 cell adhesion profile on DNA-PFs were evaluated. SEM and AFM analysis allowed the morphological characterization of the DNA-PFs. Cell viability and cell cycle kinetics studies indicate highly biocompatible material capable of anchoring MCF7 cells, allowing the attachment and support of cell in the same structure where the insertion of AlClPc (DNA-PFs-AlClPc). The application of visible light photoactivation based on classical PDT protocol over the DNA-PFs-AlClPc showed a reduction in cell viability with increased cell death proportional to the fluency energy range from 600, 900, and 1800 mJ cm-2. The 3D organoid system mimics the tumor microenvironment which was precisely observed in human breast cancer in early-stage progression in the body. The results observed indicate that the viability was reduced by more than 80% in monolayer culture and around 50% in the 3D organoid cell culture at the highest energy fluency (1800 mJ cm-2). We could also point out that with low energy fluency (100 mJ cm-2,), the DNA-PFs-AlClPc did not show a cytotoxic effect on MCF7 cells, enabling this user dose for the photodiagnosis of early-stage human breast cancer detection in the initial stage of progression.

J Biomed Mater Res A 2021; 109:2381-2391. [PMID: 34008307 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2020] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
The use of DNA as a functional biomaterial for therapeutic, diagnostic, and drug delivery applications has been prominent in recent years, but its use as a scaffold for tissue regeneration is still limited. This study aimed to evaluate the biocompatibility and interaction of DNA-based polymeric films (DNA-PFs) with primary human fibroblasts (PHF) for regenerative medicine and wound healing purposes. The morphological characterization of the films was performed by scanning electron microscopy, SEM-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy analysis. Cell viability, cell cycle kinetics, oxidative stress, and migration studies were carried out at 48 and 72 hr of incubation and compared to control cells. Cell adhesion was impaired in the first 24 hr, DNA-PFs with higher concentrations of DNA (1.0 and 2.0 g/L) this effect was not seen in DNA-PFs (0.5 g/L), explained by the difference in topography and roughness of DNA-PFs, but it was overcome after 48 hr of incubation. PHF seeded on DNA films showed higher proliferation and migration rates than the control after 48 hr of incubation, with the maintenance of cell morphology and lower cytotoxicity and oxidative stress during the evaluation time. Therefore, these results indicate that DNA-PFs are highly biocompatible and provide a suitable microenvironment for dermal fibroblasts to maintain their activity, helping build new and more complex biomaterials suitable for future tissue repair applications.

Abstract
AbstractThe concept of nanotechnology revolves around the delivery of nano particle incorporated drugs which are originally engineered technology. Nanoparticles are used for targeted delivery and controlled release of a curative agents. Nanotechnology is gaining importance and is likely to be routine element of regular dental clinics. Nanomaterials are being incorporated in toothpastes, mouth rinses for improved efficiencies. It has found its use in restorative dental materials, anti-cariogenic enamel surface polishing agents, implant materials, etc. Few nanoparticles possess antimicrobial propertiesand intercepts bacterial activity. Nano dentistry is cost-effectiveness and timesaving compared to other techniques. Nano particles have also been beneficial to annihilate drug resistance, prevention of metastasis or lesion recurrence by earmarking malignant stem cells. Remarkable achievements were made in using nanoparticles for detecting and treating multiple variety of malignancies including colon cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, etc. This review was made to highlight the various clinical applications of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and curative care for oral cancer.
