Sturm S, Niegisch G, Windolf J, Suschek CV. Exposure of Bladder Cancer Cells to Blue Light (λ = 453 nm) in the Presence of Riboflavin Synergistically Enhances the Cytotoxic Efficiency of Gemcitabine. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4868. [PMID: 38732087 PMCID: PMC11084806 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25094868] [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: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is a common tumour in men and women. In case of resistance to the standard therapeutic agents, gemcitabine can be used as off-label instillation therapy into the bladder. To reduce potential side effects, continuous efforts are made to optimise the therapeutic potential of drugs, thereby reducing the effective dose and consequently the pharmacological burden of the medication. We recently demonstrated that it is possible to significantly increase the therapeutic efficacy of mitomycin C against a bladder carcinoma cell line by exposure to non-toxic doses of blue light (453 nm). In the present study, we investigated whether the therapeutically supportive effect of blue light can be further enhanced by the additional use of the wavelength-specific photosensitiser riboflavin. We found that the gemcitabine-induced cytotoxicity of bladder cancer cell lines (BFTC-905, SW-1710, RT-112) was significantly enhanced by non-toxic doses of blue light in the presence of riboflavin. Enhanced cytotoxicity correlated with decreased levels of mitochondrial ATP synthesis and increased lipid peroxidation was most likely the result of increased oxidative stress. Due to these properties, blue light in combination with riboflavin could represent an effective therapy option with few side effects and increase the success of local treatment of bladder cancer, whereby the dose of the chemotherapeutic agent used and thus the chemical load could be significantly reduced with similar or improved therapeutic success.

Abstract
Herein, we have compared the effectivity of light-based photoactivated cancer therapy and ultrasound-based sonodynamic therapy with Re(I)-tricarbonyl complexes (Re1-Re3) against cancer cells. The observed photophysical and TD-DFT calculations indicated the potential of Re1-Re3 to act as good anticancer agents under visible light/ultrasound exposure. Re1 did not display any dark- or light- or ultrasound-triggered anticancer activity. However, Re2 and Re3 displayed concentration-dependent anticancer activity upon light and ultrasound exposure. Interestingly, Re3 produced 1O2 and OH• on light/ultrasound exposure. Moreover, Re3 induced NADH photo-oxidation in PBS and produced H2O2. To the best of our knowledge, NADH photo-oxidation has been achieved here with the Re(I) complex for the first time in PBS. Additionally, Re3 released CO upon light/ultrasound exposure. The cell death mechanism revealed that Re3 produced an apoptotic cell death response in HeLa cells via ROS generation. Interestingly, Re3 showed slightly better anticancer activity under light exposure compared to ultrasound exposure.

Abstract
Currently, the obvious side effects of anti-tumor drugs, premature drug release, and low tumor penetration of nanoparticles have largely reduced the therapeutic effects of chemotherapy. A drug delivery vehicle (MCN-SS-GQDs) was designed innovatively. For this, the mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (MCN) with the capabilities of superior photothermal conversion efficiency and high loading efficiency were used as the skeleton structure, and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were gated on the mesopores via disulfide bonds. The doxorubicin (DOX) was used to evaluate the pH-, GSH-, and NIR-responsive release performances of DOX/MCN-SS-GQDs. The disulfide bonds of MCN-SS-GQDs can be ruptured under high glutathione concentration in the tumor microenvironment, inducing the responsive release of DOX and the detachment of GQDs. The local temperature of a tumor increases significantly through the photothermal conversion of double carbon materials (MCN and GQDs) under near-infrared light irradiation. Local hyperthermia can promote tumor cell apoptosis, accelerate the release of drugs, and increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapy, thus increasing treatment effect. At the same time, the detached GQDs can take advantage of their extremely small size (5-10 nm) to penetrate deeply into tumor tissues, solving the problem of low permeability of traditional nanoparticles. By utilizing the photothermal properties of GQDs, synergistic photothermal conversion between GQDs and MCN was realized for the purpose of synergistic photothermal treatment of superficial and deep tumor tissues.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023:e2300101.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has attracted intensive attention, but is still hindered by low sonosensitization and non-biodegradability of the traditional sonosensitizers. Herein, perovskite-type manganese vanadate (MnVO3 ) sonosensitizers integrating high reactive oxide species (ROS) production efficiency and appropriate bio-degradability are developed for enhanced SDT. Taking advantage of the intrinsic properties of perovskites such as narrow bandgap and substantial oxygen vacancies, MnVO3 shows a facile ultrasound (US)-triggered electrons-holes separation and restrained recombination, thus enhancing the ROS quantum yield in SDT. Furthermore, MnVO3 exhibits a considerable chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effect under the acidic condition probably owing to the presence of manganese and vanadium ions. Due to the presence of high-valent vanadium, MnVO3 can also eliminate glutathione (GSH) within the tumor microenvironment, which synergistically amplifies the efficacy of SDT and CDT. Importantly, the perovskite structure bestows MnVO3 with superior biodegradability, which alleviates the long-term presence of residues in metabolic organs after therapeutic actions. Based on these characteristics, US-assisted MnVO3 achieves an excellent antitumor outcome along with low systemic toxicity. Overall, perovskite-type MnVO3 may be promising sonosensitizers for highly efficient and safe treatment of cancer. The work attempts to explore the potential utility of perovskites in the design of degradable sonosensitizers.

Abstract
Recently, the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy has been obviously impaired due to premature drug release, low tumor penetration, and multidrug resistance of nanoplatforms. In this paper, a novel multiple-sensitive drug delivery system (MC-ss-CDs) was developed by gating long-wavelength emitting carbon dots (CDs) on the openings of mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (MC) through disulfide bonds. The MC with excellent photothermal transition efficiency and high drug storage capacity for doxorubicin (DOX) was used as the delivery carrier. The CDs had multiple functions, including intelligent switching to hinder unwanted release, photothermal therapy (PTT) agents to improve the heat generation effect of MCs and bioimaging trackers to monitor drug delivery. The disulfide bonds, as the linkers between MC carriers and CDs, are stable under normal physical conditions and relatively labile under high GSH concentrations in the cytoplasm of tumor cells. After arriving at the tumor microenvironment, DOX/MC-ss-CDs can rapidly break into DOX/MC and CDs under high GSH concentrations. DOX/MC could realize efficient integration of PTT and chemotherapy on the surface of the tumor by stimuli-responsive DOX release and synergetic heating of MC and CDs. The small-sized CDs with excellent penetrating ability could effectively enter the deep tumor and realize NIR-triggered photothermal ablation. The DOX/MC-ss-CDs showed a chemophotothermal effect with a combination index of 0.38 in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, the DOX/MC-ss-CDs could be employed as a trackable nanovehicle for synergistic chemotherapy and PTT at different depths.

Abstract
Over the years, research of nanoparticle applications in pre-clinical and clinical applications has greatly advanced our therapeutic and imaging approaches to many diseases, most notably neoplastic disorders. In particular, the innate properties of inorganic nanomaterials, such as gold and iron oxide, as well as carbon-based nanoparticles, have provided the greatest opportunities in cancer theranostics. Carbon nanoparticles can be used as carriers of biological agents to enhance the therapeutic index at a tumor site. Alternatively, they can also be combined with external stimuli, such as light, to induce irreversible physical damaging effects on cells. In this review, the recent advances in carbon nanoparticles and their use in cancer theranostics will be discussed. In addition, the set of evaluations that will be required during their transition from laboratory investigations toward clinical trials will be addressed.

Abstract
The enhancement of photodynamic therapy (PDT) effectiveness by combining it with other treatment modalities and improved drug delivery has become an interesting field in cancer research. We have prepared and characterized nanoliposomes containing the chemotherapeutic drug irinotecan (CPT11lip), the photodynamic agent protoporphyrin IX (PpIXlip), or their combination (CPT11-PpIXlip). The effects of individual and bimodal (chemo-phototherapeutic) treatments on HeLa cells have been studied by a combination of biological and photophysical studies. Bimodal treatments show synergistic cytotoxic effects on HeLa cells at relatively low doses of PpIX/PDT and CPT11. Mechanistic cell inactivation studies revealed mitotic catastrophe, apoptosis, and senescence contributions. The enhanced anticancer activity is due to a sustained generation of reactive oxygen species, which increases the number of double-strand DNA breaks. Bimodal chemo-phototherapeutic liposomes may have a very promising future in oncological therapy, potentially allowing a reduction in the CPT11 concentration required to achieve a therapeutic effect and overcoming resistance to individual cancer treatments.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) received more attention with the emergence of nanotechnology with the aim and promise of becoming innovative drug delivery systems. They have been fulfilling this objective with excellence and nowadays they play a central role in biomedical applications. New SNPs application routes are being explored such as the epidermal, dermal, and transdermal routes. With that, novel models of synthesis, functionalization, and applications constantly appear. However, it is essential that such innovations are accompanied by in-depth studies on permeation, biodistribution, metabolization, and elimination of the generated by-products. Such studies are still incipient, if not rare. This article reviews significant findings on SNPs and their skin interactions. An extensive literature review on SNPs synthesis and functionalization methodologies was performed, as well as on the skin characteristics, skin permeation mechanisms, and in vivo toxicity assessments. Furthermore, studies of the past 5 years on the main therapeutic and cosmetic products employing SNPs, with greater emphasis on in vivo and ex vivo studies were included.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) holds growing promise in deep-seated or large solid tumor treatment owing to its high tissue penetration depth ability; however, its therapeutic efficacy is often compromised due to the hypopermeable and hypoxic characteristics in the tumor milieu. Herein, a semiconducting polymer nanoparticle (SPNC) that synergistically enhances tumor penetration and alleviates tumor hypoxia is reported for sonodynamic therapy of large solid tumors. SPNC comprises a semiconducting polymer nanoparticle core as a sonodynamic converter coated with a poly (ethylene glycol) corona. An oxygen-modulating enzyme, catalase, is efficiently conjugated to the surface of nanoparticles via the coupling reaction. Superior to its counterpart SPNCs (SPNC2 (84 nm) and SPNC3 (134 nm)), SPNC with the smallest size (SPNC1 (35 nm)) can efficiently penetrate throughout the tumor interstitium to alleviate whole tumor hypoxia in a large solid tumor model. Upon ultrasound (US) irradiation, SPNC1 can remotely generate sufficient singlet oxygen to eradicate tumor cells at a deep-tissue depth. Such a single treatment of SPNC1-medicated sonodynamic therapy effectively inhibits tumor growth in a large solid tumor mouse model. Therefore, this study provides a generalized strategy to synergistically overcome both poor penetration and hypoxia of large tumors for enhanced cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are photo-mediated treatments with different mechanisms of action that can be addressed for cancer treatment. Both phototherapies are highly successful and barely or non-invasive types of treatment that have gained attention in the past few years. The death of cancer cells because of the application of these therapies is caused by the formation of reactive oxygen species, that leads to oxidative stress for the case of photodynamic therapy and the generation of heat for the case of photothermal therapies. The advancement of nanotechnology allowed significant benefit to these therapies using nanoparticles, allowing both tuning of the process and an increase of effectiveness. The encapsulation of drugs, development of the most different organic and inorganic nanoparticles as well as the possibility of surfaces' functionalization are some strategies used to combine phototherapy and nanotechnology, with the aim of an effective treatment with minimal side effects. This article presents an overview on the use of nanostructures in association with phototherapy, in the view of cancer treatment.

Abstract
Smart polymer-based micro/nanoassemblies have emerged as a promising alternative for transporting and delivering a myriad of cargo. Cargo encapsulation into (or linked to) polymeric micro/nanocarrier (PC) strategies may help to conserve cargo activity and functionality when interacting with its surroundings in its journey to the target. PCs for cargo phototriggering allow for excellent spatiotemporal control via irradiation as an external stimulus, thus regulating the delivery kinetics of cargo and potentially increasing its therapeutic effect. Micromotors based on PCs offer an accelerated cargo-medium interaction for biomedical, environmental, and many other applications. This review collects the recent achievements in PC development based on nanomicelles, nanospheres, and nanopolymersomes, among others, with enhanced properties to increase cargo protection and cargo release efficiency triggered by ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, including light-stimulated polymeric micromotors for propulsion, cargo transport, biosensing, and photo-thermal therapy. We emphasize the challenges of positioning PCs as drug delivery systems, as well as the outstanding opportunities of light-stimulated polymeric micromotors for practical applications.

Abstract
Photoactivated therapeutic strategies (photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy), due to the adjusted therapeutic area, time and light dosage, have prevailed for the fight against tumors. Currently, the monotherapy with limited treatment effect and undesired side effects is gradually replaced by multimodal and multifunctional nanosystems. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with unique physicochemical advantages, such as huge specific surface area, controllable pore size and morphology, functionalized modification, satisfying biocompatibility and biodegradability, are considered as promising candidates for multimodal photoactivated cancer therapy. Excitingly, the innovative nanoplatforms based on the mesoporous silica nanoparticles provide more and more effective treatment strategies and display excellent antitumor potential. Given the rapid development of antitumor strategies based on MSNs, this review summarizes the current progress in MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy, mainly consists of (1) photothermal therapy-related theranostics; (2) photodynamic therapy-related theranostics; (3) multimodal synergistic therapy, such as chemo-photothermal-photodynamic therapy, phototherapy-immunotherapy and phototherapy-radio therapy. Based on the limited penetration of irradiation light in photoactivated therapy, the challenges faced by deep-seated tumor therapy are fully discussed, and future clinical translation of MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photoresponsive drug delivery can achieve spatiotemporal control of drug accumulation at desired sites. Long-wavelength light is preferable owing to its deep tissue penetration and low toxicity. One-photon upconversion-like photolysis via triplet-triplet energy transfer (TTET) between photosensitizer and photoresponsive group enables the use of long-wavelength light to activate short-wavelength light-responsive groups. However, such process requires oxygen-free environment to achieve efficient photolysis due to the oxygen quenching of triplet excited states. RESULTS Herein, we report a strategy that uses red light to trigger disassembly of small-molecule nanoparticles by one-photon upconversion-like photolysis for cancer therapy. A photocleavable trigonal molecule, BTAEA, self-assembled into nanoparticles and enclosed photosensitizer, PtTPBP. Such nanoparticles protected TTET-based photolysis from oxygen quenching in normoxia aqueous solutions, resulting in efficient red light-triggered BTAEA cleavage, dissociation of nanoparticles and subsequent cargo release. With paclitaxel as the model drug, the red light-triggered drug release system demonstrated promising anti-tumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a practical reference for constructing photoresponsive nanocarriers based on the one-photon upconversion-like photolysis.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates are an emerging class of molecular clusters, with well-defined structures and chemical compositions that are produced through simple, low-cost, and highly reproducible methods. In particular, the wheel-shaped cluster {Mo154 } is a promising photothermal agent due to its intervalence charge transfer transitions. However, its toxicity hinders its systemic administration, being the development of a localized delivery system still incipient. Herein, an injectable and self-healing hydrogel of easy preparation and administration is developed, incorporating both {Mo154 } and doxorubicin for synergistic photothermal and chemotherapy applications. The hydrogel is composed of benzylaldehyde functionalized polyethylene glycol, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) functionalized chitosan and {Mo154 }. The gelation occurs within 60 s at room temperature, and the dual crosslinking by Schiff base and electrostatic interactions generates a dynamic network, which enables self-healing after injection. Moreover, the hydrogel delivers chemotherapeutic drugs, with a release triggered by dual near infra-red (NIR) radiation and pH changes. This stimuli-responsive release system along with the photothermal conversion ability of the hydrogel allows the simultaneous combination of photothermal and chemotherapy. This synergic system efficiently ablates the cancer tumor in vivo with no systemic toxicity. Overall, this work paves the way for the development of novel {Mo154 }-based systems, incorporated in self-healing and injectable hydrogels for dual chemo-photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has attracted widespread attention due to its non-invasiveness and deep tissue penetration. However, the development of efficient sonodynamic nanoplatforms to improve the therapeutic efficiency is still one of the main challenges of current research. In this work, a new type of sonosensitizer prepared by a simple method, manganese carbonate nanoparticles (MnCO3 NPs), is used for enhanced SDT. MnCO3 NPs could generate large amounts of 1O2 and •OH under ultrasound irradiation. At the same time, CO2 and Mn ions could be released in a weak acid environment due to the excellent degradability of MnCO3 NPs. The CO2 bubbles caused cell necrosis by ultrasonic cavitation and used for ultrasound imaging. And Mn ions activated the mitochondrial cell apoptosis pathway. In vivo experiments proved that this sonosensitizer with mitochondrial regulatory capacity showed high tumor inhibition rates for enhanced sonodynamic tumor therapy.

Abstract
Targeted nanomaterials for cancer theranostics have been the subject of an expanding volume of research studies in recent years. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are particularly attractive for such applications due to possibilities to synthesize nanoparticles (NPs) of different morphologies, pore diameters and pore arrangements, large surface areas and various options for surface functionalization. Functionalization of MSNs with different organic and inorganic molecules, polymers, surface-attachment of other NPs, loading and entrapping cargo molecules with on-desire release capabilities, lead to seemingly endless prospects for designing advanced nanoconstructs exerting multiple functions, such as simultaneous cancer-targeting, imaging and therapy. Describing composition and multifunctional capabilities of these advanced nanoassemblies for targeted therapy (passive, ligand-functionalized MSNs, stimuli-responsive therapy), including one or more modalities for imaging of tumors, is the subject of this review article, along with an overview of developments within a novel and attractive research trend, comprising the use of MSNs for CRISPR/Cas9 systems delivery and gene editing in cancer. Such advanced nanconstructs exhibit high potential for applications in image-guided therapies and the development of personalized cancer treatment.

Abstract
Optical imaging probes have played a major role in detecting and monitoring a variety of diseases. In particular, nonlinear optical imaging probes, such as second harmonic generating (SHG) nanoprobes, hold great promise as clinical contrast agents, as they can be imaged with little background signal and unmatched long-term photostability. As their chemical composition often includes transition metals, the use of inorganic SHG nanoprobes can raise long-term health concerns. Ideally, contrast agents for biomedical applications should be degraded in vivo without any long-term toxicological consequences to the organism. Here, we developed biodegradable harmonophores (bioharmonophores) that consist of polymer-encapsulated, self-assembling peptides that generate a strong SHG signal. When functionalized with tumor cell surface markers, these reporters can target single cancer cells with high detection sensitivity in zebrafish embryos in vivo. Thus, bioharmonophores will enable an innovative approach to cancer treatment using targeted high-resolution optical imaging for diagnostics and therapy.

Abstract
The rapid knowledge growth of nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology enables and promotes the emergence of distinctive disease-specific therapeutic modalities, among which nanomedicine-enabled/augmented nanodynamic therapy (NDT), as triggered by either exogenous or endogenous activators on nanosensitizers, can generate reactive radicals for accomplishing efficient disease nanotherapies with mitigated side effects and endowed disease specificity. As one of the most representative modalities of NDT, traditional light-activated photodynamics suffers from the critical and unsurmountable issues of the low tissue-penetration depth of light and the phototoxicity of the photosensitizers. To overcome these obstacles, versatile nanomedicine-enabled/augmented NDTs have been explored for satisfying varied biomedical applications, which strongly depend on the physicochemical properties of the involved nanomedicines and nanosensitizers. These distinctive NDTs refer to sonodynamic therapy (SDT), thermodynamic therapy (TDT), electrodynamic therapy (EDT), piezoelectric dynamic therapy (PZDT), pyroelectric dynamic therapy (PEDT), radiodynamic therapy (RDT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Herein, the critical roles, functions, and biological effects of nanomedicine (e.g., sonosensitizing, photothermal-converting, electronic, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, radiation-sensitizing, and catalytic properties) for enabling the therapeutic procedure of NDTs, are highlighted and discussed, along with the underlying therapeutic principle and optimization strategy for augmenting disease-therapeutic efficacy and biosafety. The present challenges and critical issues on the clinical translations of NDTs are also discussed and clarified.

Recent progress in development and applications of second near-infrared (NIR-II) nanoprobes. Arch Pharm Res 2021; 44:165-181. [PMID: 33538959 DOI: 10.1007/s12272-021-01313-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2020] [Accepted: 01/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Optical probes for near-infrared (NIR) light have clear advantages over UV/VIS-based optical probes, such as their low levels of interfering auto-fluorescence and high tissue penetration. The second NIR (NIR-II) window (1000-1350 nm) offers better light penetration, lower background signal, higher safety limit, and higher maximum permitted exposure than the first NIR (NIR-I) window (650-950 nm). Therefore, NIR-II laser-based photoacoustic (PA) and fluorescence (FL) imaging can offer higher sensitivity and penetration depth than was previously available, and deeper lesions can be treated in vivo by photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) with an NIR-II laser than with an NIR-I laser. Advances in creation of novel nanomaterials have increased options for improving light-induced bioimaging and treatment. Nanotechnology can provide advantages such as good disease targeting ability and relatively long circulation times to supplement the advantages of optical technologies. In this review, we present recent progress in development and applications of NIR-II light-based nanoplatforms for FL, PA, image-guided surgery, PDT, and PTT. We also discuss recent advances in smart NIR-II nanoprobes that can respond to stimuli in the tumor microenvironment and inflamed sites. Finally, we consider the challenges involved in using NIR-II nanomedicine for effective diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
The concept of skin-specific drug delivery with a spatio-temporal control has just recently received concerns in dermatology. Inspired by the progress in smart materials and their perspective application in medicine science, development of stimuli responsive drug delivery systems with skin-specificity has become possible, which has led to a new era in the localized treatment of skin diseases. This review highlights both the internal and external stimuli that have been employed in this field, with a focus on their implication on the rational design of pharmaceutical formulations, especially those nanoscale drug carriers that are able to provide release of payloads with a precise spatio-temporal control in response to specific stimuli. Also, the strategy of dual stimuli responsive drug delivery systems will be discussed for further improvement of the efficacy of skin drug delivery. The prominent examples of the established approaches are described as comprehensive and current as possible. The review is expected to provide some inspiration for utilizing different stimuli for realizing the site-specific and on-demand drug delivery to the skin.

Abstract
Synthetic nanomotors are appealing delivery vehicles for the dynamic transport of functional cargo. Their translation toward biological applications is limited owing to the use of non-degradable components. Furthermore, size has been an impediment owing to the importance of achieving nanoscale (ca. 100 nm) dimensions, as opposed to microscale examples that are prevalent. Herein, we present a hybrid nanomotor that can be activated by near-infrared (NIR)-irradiation for the triggered delivery of internal cargo and facilitated transport of external agents to the cell. Utilizing biodegradable poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(d,l-lactide) (PEG-PDLLA) block copolymers, with the two blocks connected via a pH sensitive imine bond, we generate nanoscopic polymersomes that are then modified with a hemispherical gold nanocoat. This Janus morphology allows such hybrid polymersomes to undergoing photothermal motility in response to thermal gradients generated by plasmonic absorbance of NIR irradiation, with velocities ranging up to 6.2±1.10 μm s-1 . These polymersome nanomotors (PNMs) are capable of traversing cellular membranes allowing intracellular delivery of molecular and macromolecular cargo.

Self-Assembled Dual-Targeted Epirubicin-Hybrid Polydopamine Nanoparticles for Combined Chemo-Photothermal Therapy of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer. Int J Nanomedicine 2020; 15:6791-6811. [PMID: 32982234 PMCID: PMC7494236 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s260477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Folic acid and cyclic arginylglycylaspartic acid peptides were introduced to the surface of negatively charged lipid-coated hybrid polydopamine-cysteine cores for the delivery of epirubicin (EPI) (E/PCF-NPs). The combined chemo-photothermal therapy using E/PCF-NPs for triple-negative breast cancer was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The temperature elevation and thermal toxicity of nanoparticles were studied. The morphology and properties of E/PCF-NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Physicochemical properties, including particle size, zeta potential, drug loading, entrapment efficiency (EE%), stability and in vitro release, were determined. The cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, ratios of oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide to its reduced form (NAD+/NADH), apoptosis assays, and cellular uptake of E/PCF-NPs were determined on 4T1 cells. Pharmacokinetic studies and tissue distributions were performed and detected by an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry system. The antitumor effects of E/PCF-NPs under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation were also evaluated. RESULTS The sphere-like morphology of E/PCF-NPs showed a high EE%, uniform size of 106.7 nm, remarkable stability, and highly improved cytotoxicity under NIR laser, when compared to that of photothermal treatment alone. In vitro release of EPI from E/PCF-NPs was pH sensitive, and a greater response was achieved under NIR laser irradiation. Compared to chemotherapy or photothermal treatment alone, the combined treatment in vitro significantly inhibited the survival rate of 4T1 cells to 17.7%, induced ROS generation, and reduced NAD+/NADH significantly. Treatment with E/PCF-NPs under irradiation induced 4T1 cell apoptosis in approximately 93.6% cells. In vitro cellular uptake of E/PCF-NPs was time-dependent. The long-circulating and higher tumor accumulation of E/PCF-NPs resulted in complete ablation of breast tumor tissue through the enhanced photothermal effect by NIR laser irradiation-mediated cell apoptosis. CONCLUSION E/PCF-NPs show enhanced anti-cancer effects due to synergistic effects of chemotherapy with photothermal therapy and may be potential therapeutic agents for cancer treatment.

Abstract
In spite of the rapid emergence of numerous nanoparticles (NPs) for biomedical applications, it is often challenging to precisely control, or effectively tame, the bioactivity/toxicity of NPs, thereby exhibiting limited applications in biomedical areas. Herein, we report the construction of hyaluronic acid (HA)-laminated, otherwise toxic methylviologen (MV), NPs via ternary host-guest complexation among cucurbit[8]uril, trans-azobenzene-conjugated HA, and MV-functionalized polylactic acid NPs (MV-NPs). The high, nonspecific toxicity of MV-NPs was effectively shielded (turned off) by HA lamination, as demonstrated in cells, zebrafish, and mouse models. The supramolecular host-guest interaction-mediated HA coating offered several HA-MV-NP modalities, including hyaluronidase locally and photoirradiation remotely, to precisely remove HA lamination on demand, thereby endowing materials with the capability of selective decoating-induced activation (DIA) for applications as a user-friendly herbicide, a selective antibacterial agent, or an anticancer nanomedicine. This work offers facile supramolecular coating and DIA strategies to effectively tame and precisely control the bioactivity and toxicity of functional nanomaterials for diverse applications.

Abstract
Traditional phototherapies face the issue that the insufficient penetration of light means it is difficult to reach deep lesions, which greatly reduces the feasibility of cancer therapy. Here, an implantable nitric oxide (NO)-release device is developed to achieve long-term, long-distance, remote-controllable gas therapy for cancer. The device consists of a wirelessly powered light-emitting diode (wLED) and S-nitrosoglutathione encapsulated with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), obtaining the NO-release wLED (NO-wLED). It is found that NO release from the NO-wLED can be triggered by wireless charging and the concentration of produced NO reaches 0.43 × 10-6 m min-1 , which can achieve a killing effect on cancer cells. In vivo anticancer experiments exhibit obvious inhibitory effect on the growth of orthotopic cancer when the implanted NO-wLED is irradiated by wireless charging. In addition, recurrence of cancer can be prevented by NO produced from the NO-wLED after surgery. By illumination in the body, this strategy overcomes the poor penetration and long-wavelength dependence of traditional phototherapies, which also provides a promising approach for in vivo gas therapy remote-controlled by wireless charging.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT) that enables noninvasive treatment of large internal tumors has attracted widespread interest. For improvement in the therapeutic responses to SDT, more effective and stable sonosensitizers are still required. Herein, ultrafine titanium monoxide nanorods (TiO1+x NRs) with greatly improved sono-sensitization and Fenton-like catalytic activity were fabricated and used for enhanced SDT. TiO1+x NRs with an ultrafine rodlike structure were successfully prepared and then modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG). Compared to the conventional sonosensitizer, TiO2 nanoparticles, the PEG-TiO1+x NRs resulted in much more efficient US-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) because of the oxygen-deficient structure of TiO1+x NR, which predominantly serves as the charge trap to limit the recombination of US-triggered electron-hole pairs. Interestingly, PEG-TiO1+x NRs also exhibit horseradish-peroxidase-like nanozyme activity and can produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH) from endogenous H2O2 in the tumor to enable chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Because of their efficient passive retention in tumors post intravenous injection, PEG-TiO1+x NRs can be used as a sonosensitizer and CDT agent for highly effective tumor ablation under US treatment. In addition, no significant long-term toxicity of PEG-TiO1+x NRs was found for the treated mice. This work highlights a new type of titanium-based nanostructure with great performance for tumor SDT.

Abstract
The spatiotemporal control over the structure of nanoparticles while monitoring their localization in tumor cells can improve the precision of controlled drug release, thus enhancing the efficiency of drug delivery. Here, we report on a photochromic nanoparticle system (LSNP), assembled from fluorescent bistable hydrazone photoswitch-modified amphiphilic copolymers. The intrinsic emission of the hydrazone switch allows for the visualization of particle uptake, as well as their intracellular distribution. The Z → E photoswitching of the hydrazone switch within the nanoparticle leads to the expansion of the nanoparticles (i.e., drug release) accompanied by emission quenching, the degree of which can function as an internal indicator for the amount of drug released. The bistability of the switch enables the kinetic trapping of particles of different sizes as a function of irradiation time, and allows for the exhibition of light-dependent cell cytotoxicity in MDA-MB-231 cells using LSNP loaded with doxorubicin.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is effective in the treatment of different types of cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma and other superficial cancers. However, improvements in photosensitizer delivery are still needed, and the use of PDT against more deeply located tumors has been the subject of many studies. Thus, the goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a nanoemulsion containing aluminium-phthalocyanine (AlPc-NE) as a mediator of photodynamic therapy (PDT-AlPc-NE) against grafted 4T1 breast adenocarcinoma tumors in mice (BALB/c). Short after the appearance of the tumor, the animals were divided into groups (n = 5) as follows: untreated; only AlPc-NE and treated with PDT-AlPc-NE. The tumor volume was measured with a digital calliper at specific times. The presence of metastasis in the lungs was evaluated by microtomography and histopathological analyses. The results show that the application of PDT-AlPc-NE eradicated the transplanted tumors in all the treated animals, while the animals from control groups presented a robust increase in the tumor volume. Still more significantly, microtomography showed the animals submitted the PDT-AlPc-NE to be free of detectable metastasis in the lungs. The histological analysis of the lungs further confirmed the results verified by the microtomography. Therefore, this study suggests that PDT-AlPc-NE is effective in the elimination of experimentally grafted breast tumors in mice and also in preventing the formation of metastasis in the lungs.

Abstract
Localized cancer rates are on an upsurge, severely affecting mankind across the globe. Timely diagnosis and adopting appropriate treatment strategies could improve the quality of life significantly reducing the mortality and morbidity rates. Recently, nanotherapeutics has precipitously shown increased efficacy for controlling abnormal tissue growth in certain sites in the body, among which ligand functionalized nanoparticles (NP) have caught much attention for improved survival statistics via active targeting. Our focus was to repurpose the antihelminthic drug, niclosamide (NIC), which could aid in inhibiting the abnormal growth of cells restricted to a specific region. The work here presents a one-pot synthesis of niclosamide encapsulated, hyaluronic acid functionalized core–shell nanocarriers [(NIC-PLGA NP)HA] for active targeting of localized cancer. The synthesized nanocarriers were found to possess spherical morphology with mean size of 150.8 ± 9 nm and zeta potential of −24.9 ± 7.21 mV. The encapsulation efficiency was found to be 79.19 ± 0.16% with a loading efficiency of 7.19 ± 0.01%. The nanohybrids exhibited extreme cytocompatibility upon testing with MDA-MB-231 and L929 cell lines. The rate of cancer cell elimination was approximately 85% with targeted cell imaging results being highly convincing. [(NIC-PLGA NP)HA] demonstrates increased cellular uptake leading to a hike in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, combating tumour cells aiding in the localized treatment of cancer and associated therapy.
