J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 665:1065-1078. [PMID: 38579389 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.03.186] [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: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-centered chemodynamic therapy (CDT) holds significant potential for tumor-specific treatment. However, insufficient endogenous H2O2 and extra glutathione within tumor microenvironment (TME) severely deteriorate the CDT's effectiveness. Herein, rich-Zn-Co3O4/N-doped porous carbon (Zn-Co3O4/NC) was fabricated by two-step pyrolysis, and applied to build high-efficiency nano-platform for synergistic cancer therapy upon combination with glucose oxidase (GOx), labeled Zn-Co3O4/NC-GOx for clarity. Specifically, the multiple enzyme-like activities of the Zn-Co3O4/NC were scrutinously investigated, including peroxidase-like activity to convert H2O2 to O2∙-, catalase-like activity to decompose H2O2 into O2, and oxidase-like activity to transform O2 to O2∙-, which achieved the CDT through the catalytic cascade reaction. Simultaneously, GOx reacted with intracellular glucose to produce gluconic acid and H2O2, realizing starvation therapy. In the acidic TME, the Zn-Co3O4/NC-GOx rapidly caused intracellular Zn2+ pool overload and disrupted cellular homeostasis for ion-intervention therapy. Additionally, the Zn-Co3O4/NC exhibited glutathione peroxidase-like activity, which consumed glutathione in tumor cells and reduced the ROS consumption for ferroptosis. The tumor treatments offer some constructive insights into the nanozyme-mediated catalytic medicine, coupled by avoiding the TME limitations.

Multifunctional nanoplatform based on tetragonal BaTiO 3-Au@polydopamine for computed tomography imaging-guided photothermal synergistic and enhanced piezocatalytic cancer therapy. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 658:597-609.

Abstract
Non-centrosymmetric tetragonal barium titanate nanocrystals have the potential to serve as piezoelectric catalysts in cancer therapy. When exposed to ultrasound irradiation, BaTiO3 can generate reactive oxygen species with a noninvasive and deep tissue-penetrating approach. However, the application of BaTiO3 in cancer nanomedicine is limited by their biosafety, biocompatibility, and dosage efficiency. To explore the potential application of BaTiO3 in nanomedical cancer treatment, we introduced ultra-small Au nanoparticles onto the surface of BaTiO3 to enhance the piezoelectric catalytic performance. Additionally, we also coated the BaTiO3 with polydopamine to improve their biosafety and biocompatibility. This led to the preparation of a novel multifunctional BaTiO3-based nanoplatform called BTAPs. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the incorporation of Au dopants and polydopamine coating successfully improved the piezoelectric catalysis properties and biocompatibility of BaTiO3. Compared with unmodified BaTiO3, BTAPs achieved a similar piezoelectric catalytic effect at a low dose (0.3 mg ml-1 in vitro and 10 mg kg-1 in vivo). Moreover, BTAPs also exhibited enhanced properties in computed tomography imaging and photothermal effects in vivo. Therefore, BTAPs offer valuable insights into the advantages and limitations of piezoelectric catalytic nanomedicine in cancer treatment.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127039. [PMID: 37742886 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127039] [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: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
Liver cancer, a malignancy with a rising global incidence, poses a significant challenge in achieving effective treatment outcomes. As food-derived nutrient, sea cucumber peptide (SCP) has shown promising anticancer effects. Therefore, we explored the nanodelivery systems to encapsulate SCP to enhance its stability in the gastrointestinal tract and improve absorption within the tumor microenvironment. This study aimed to develop size-controllable multifunctional nanoparticles using SCP, procyanidins (PCs), and vanillin through molecular assembly via a one-pot Mannich condensation approach. These food-grade nanoparticles demonstrated water solubility and exhibited a spherical structure with sizes ranging from 441 to 1360 nm, depending on the concentration of the reactants. In vitro cell experiments demonstrated that SCP nanoparticles modified with PCs effectively reduced the generation of reactive oxygen species from H2O2 and acrylamide while maintaining normal levels of mitochondrial membrane potential. Furthermore, in vivo nutrition intervention studies conducted on tumor-bearing mice revealed that mice treated with SCP nanoparticles exhibited a survival rate of 40 %, which was significantly higher than the 0 % and 20 % survival rates observed in the control and SCP-treated groups, respectively. These findings suggest that SCP nanoparticles, possessing antioxidative properties and controllable sizes, hold potential for precision nutrition in the field of cancer treatment.

Abstract
The increased risk of breast cancer metastasis is closely linked to the effects of platelets. Our previously light-switchable diphtheria toxin A fragment (DTA) gene system, known as the LightOn system, has demonstrated significant therapeutic potential; it lacks antimetastatic capabilities. In this study, we devised an innovative system by combining cell membrane fusion liposomes (CML) loaded with the light-switchable transgene DTA (pDTA) and a ticagrelor (Tig) prodrug. This innovative system, named the sequential rocket-mode bioactivating drug delivery system (pDTA-Tig@CML), aims to achieve targeted pDTA delivery while concurrently inhibiting platelet activity through the sequential release of Tig triggered by reactive oxygen species with the tumor microenvironment. In vitro investigations have indicated that pDTA-Tig@CML, with its ability to sequentially release Tig and pDTA, effectively suppresses platelet activity, resulting in improved therapeutic outcomes and the mitigation of platelet driven metastasis in breast cancer. Furthermore, pDTA-Tig@CML exhibits enhanced tumor aggregation and successfully restrains tumor growth and metastasis. It also reduces the levels of ADP, ATP, TGF-β, and P-selectin both in vitro and in vivo, underscoring the advantages of combining the bioactivating Tig prodrug nanoplatform with the LightOn system. Consequently, pDTA-Tig@CML emerges as a promising light-switchable DTA transgene system, offering a novel bioactivating prodrug platform for breast cancer treatment.

[PMID: 37651963 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has emerged as a highly promising orthopedic implantation material due to its elastic modulus which is comparable to that of natural bone. This polymer exhibits impressive properties for bone implantation such as corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, self-lubrication and chemical stability. Significantly, compared to metal-based implants, PEEK implants have mechanical properties that are closer to natural bone, which can mitigate the "stress shielding" effect in bone implantation. Nevertheless, PEEK is incapable of inducing osteogenesis due to its bio-inert molecular structure, thereby hindering the osseointegration process. To optimize the clinical application of PEEK, researchers have been working on promoting its bioactivity and endowing this polymer with beneficial properties, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and angiogenesis-promoting capabilities. Considering the significant growth of research on PEEK implants over the past 5 years, this review aims to present a timely update on PEEK's modification methods. By highlighting the latest advancements in PEEK modification, we hope to provide guidance and inspiration for researchers in developing the next generation bone implants and optimizing their clinical applications.
