Abstract
Pancreatic cancer, notorious for its grim 10% five-year survival rate, poses significant clinical challenges, largely due to late-stage diagnosis and limited therapeutic options. This review delves into the generation of organoids, including those derived from resected tissues, biopsies, pluripotent stem cells, and adult stem cells, as well as the advancements in 3D printing. It explores the complexities of the tumor microenvironment, emphasizing culture media, the integration of non-neoplastic cells, and angiogenesis. Additionally, the review examines the multifaceted properties of graphene oxide (GO), such as its mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and optical attributes, and their implications in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. GO's unique properties facilitate its interaction with tumors, allowing targeted drug delivery and enhanced imaging for early detection and treatment. The integration of GO with 3D cultured organoid systems, particularly in pancreatic cancer research, is critically analyzed, highlighting current limitations and future potential. This innovative approach has the promise to transform personalized medicine, improve drug screening efficiency, and aid biomarker discovery in this aggressive disease. Through this review, we offer a balanced perspective on the advancements and future prospects in pancreatic cancer research, harnessing the potential of organoids and GO.

Single-Stage Microfluidic Synthesis Route for BaGdF 5:Tb 3+-Based Nanocomposite Materials: Synthesis, Characterization and Biodistribution. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:17159. [PMID: 38138988 PMCID: PMC10742823 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242417159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Rare-earth-doped nanoscaled BaGdF5 is known as an efficient contrasting agent for X-ray micro-CT and NMR as well as a promising candidate for X-ray photodynamic therapy, thereby opening an opportunity for theragnostic applications. Conventional synthesis of Ln-doped BaGdF5 consider a long-lasting batch procedure, while a conjugation with photosensitizer usually implies a separate stage requiring active mixing. To the best of our knowledge, in this work, we for the first time obtain BaGdF5:Tb3+ nanophosphors in a microfluidic route at temperatures as low as 100 °C while decreasing the time of thermal treatment down to 6 min. The proposed synthesis route allows for the obtaining of single-phase and monodisperse BaGd1-xF5:Tbx3+ nanoparticles with an averaged particle size of ca. 7-9 nm and hydrodynamic radius around 22 nm, as estimated from TEM and DLS, respectively. In addition, X-ray-excited optical luminescence has been recorded in situ for the series of nanophosphors synthesis with varied flow rates of Tb3+ and Gd3+ stock solutions, thereby anticipating a possible application of microfluidics for screening a wide range of possible co-dopants and reaction conditions and its effect on the optical properties of the synthesized materials. Moreover, we demonstrated that BaGd1-xF5:Tbx3+@RoseBengal conjugates might be obtained in a single-stage route by implementing an additional mixer at the synthesis outcome, namely, by mixing the resulting reaction mixture containing nanoparticles with an equivalent flow of photosensitizer aqueous solution. In vitro cytotoxicity test declares moderate toxicity effect on different cell lines, while the results of flow cytometry indirectly confirm cellular uptake. Finally, we report long-term biodistribution monitoring of the synthesized nanocomposites assessed by X-ray micro-CT in the in vivo experiments on balb/c mice, which depicts an unusual character of agents' accumulation.

Abstract
Graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNMs), specifically graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), have shown great potential in cancer therapy owing to their physicochemical properties. As GO and rGO strongly absorb light in the near-infrared (NIR) region, they are useful in photothermal therapy (PTT) for cancer treatment. However, despite the structural similarities of GO and rGO, they exhibit different influences on anticancer treatment due to their different photothermal capacities. In this review, various characterization techniques used to compare the structural features of GO and rGO are first outlined. Then, a comprehensive summary and discussion of the applicability of GBNMs in the context of PTT for diverse cancer types are presented. This discussion includes the integration of PTT with secondary therapeutic strategies, with a particular focus on the photothermal capacity achieved through near-infrared irradiation parameters and the modifications implemented. Furthermore, a dedicated section is devoted to studies on hybrid magnetic-GBNMs. Finally, the challenges and prospects associated with the utilization of GBNM in PTT, with a primary emphasis on the potential for clinical translation, are addressed.

Abstract
Cancer diagnosis and treatment are the most critical challenges in modern medicine. Conventional cancer treatments no longer meet the needs of the health field due to the high rate of mutations and epigenetic factors that have caused drug resistance in tumor cells. Hence, the search for unique methods and factors is quickly expanding. The development of nanotechnology in medicine and the search for a system to integrate treatment and diagnosis to achieve an effective approach to overcome the known limitations of conventional treatment methods have led to the emergence of theranostic nanoparticles and nanosystems based on these nanoparticles. An influential group of these nanoparticles is carbon-based theranostic nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have received significant attention due to their unique properties, such as electrical conductivity, high strength, excellent surface chemistry, and wide range of structural diversity (graphene, nanodiamond, carbon quantum dots, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and carbon nanohorns). These nanoparticles were widely used in various fields, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, imaging, and biosensors. In this review, we discuss in detail the recent features and advances in carbon-based theranostic nanoparticles and the advanced and diverse strategies used to treat diseases with these nanoparticles.

Abstract
The regulation of intracellular ions' overload to interrupt normal bioprocesses and cause cell death has been developed as an efficient strategy (named as ion-interference therapy/IIT) to treat cancer. In this study, we design a multifunctional nanoplatform (called BSArGO@ZIF-8 NSs) by in situ growth of metal organic framework nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs) onto the graphene oxide (GO) surface, subsequently reduced by ascorbic acid and modified by bovine serum albumin. This nanocomplex causes the intracellular overload of Zn2+, an increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and exerts a broad-spectrum lethality to different kinds of cancer cells. BSArGO@ZIF-8 NSs can promote cell apoptosis by initiating bim (a pro-apoptotic protein)-mediated mitochondrial apoptotic events, up-regulating PUMA/NOXA expression, and down-regulating the level of Bid/p53AIP1. Meanwhile, Zn2+ excess triggers cellular dysfunction and mitochondria damage by activating the autophagy signaling pathways and disturbing the intracellular environmental homeostasis. Combined with the photothermal effect of reduced GO (rGO), BSArGO@ZIF-8 NSs mediated ion-interference and photothermal combined therapy leads to effective apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation and angiogenesis, bringing a higher efficacy in tumor suppression in vivo. This designed Zn-based multifunctional nanoplatform will allow promoting further the development of IIT and the corresponding combined cancer therapy strategy.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with versatile properties have been widely applied in the field of biomedicine. Despite various studies having reviewed the development of biomedical 2D nanomaterials, there is a lack of a study that objectively summarizes and analyzes the research trend of this important field. Here, we employ a series of bibliometric methods to identify the development of the 2D nanomaterial-related biomedical field during the past 10 years from a holistic point of view. First, the annual publication/citation growth, country/institute/author distribution, referenced sources, and research hotspots are identified. Thereafter, based on the objectively identified research hotspots, the contributions of 2D nanomaterials to the various biomedical subfields, including those of biosensing, imaging/therapy, antibacterial treatment, and tissue engineering are carefully explored, by considering the intrinsic properties of the nanomaterials. Finally, prospects and challenges have been discussed to shed light on the future development and clinical translation of 2D nanomaterials. This review provides a novel perspective to identify and further promote the development of 2D nanomaterials in biomedical research.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging using energy conversion from light to ultrasound waves has been developed as a powerful tool to investigate in vivo phenomena due to their complex characteristics. In photoacoustic imaging, endogenous chromophores such as oxygenated hemoglobin, deoxygenated hemoglobin, melanin, and lipid provide useful biomedical information at the molecular level. However, these intrinsic absorbers show strong absorbance only in visible or infrared optical windows and have limited light transmission, making them difficult to apply for clinical translation. Therefore, the development of novel exogenous contrast agents capable of increasing imaging depth while ensuring strong light absorption is required. We report here the application of carbon nanomaterials that exhibit unique physical, mechanical, and electrochemical properties as imaging probes in photoacoustic imaging. Classified into specific structures, carbon nanomaterials are synthesized with different substances according to the imaging purposes to modulate the absorption spectra and highly enhance photoacoustic signals. In addition, functional drugs can be loaded into the carbon nanomaterials composite, and effective in vivo monitoring and photothermal therapy can be performed with cell-specific targeting. Diverse applied cases suggest the high potential of carbon nanomaterial-based photoacoustic imaging in in vivo monitoring for clinical research.

Abstract
Herein we report synthesis of hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanorods by calcinating hydrothermally synthesized goethite nanorods at 5000C. The structural, optical and MRI imaging guided cancer therapeutic properties of fabricated nanorods have been discussed in this manscript. FESEM and TEM imaging techniques were used to confirm the nanorod like morphology of as prepared materials. As we know that Fe2O3 nanorods with size in the range of 25-30 nm exhibit super magnetism. After coating with the PEG, the as prepared nanorods can be used as T2 MR imaging contrast agents. An excellent T2 MRI contrast of 38.763 mM-1s-1 achieved which is highest reported so far for α-Fe2O3. Besides the as prepared nanorods display an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of 39.5% thus acts as an excellent photothermal therapeutic agent. Thus, we envision the idea of testing our nanorods for photothermal therapy and MR imaging application both in vitro and in vivo, achieving an excellent T2 MRI contrast and photothermal therapy effect with as prepared PEGylated nanorods.

BaGdF 5 Nanophosphors Doped with Different Concentrations of Eu 3+ for Application in X-ray Photodynamic Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222313040.

Abstract
X-ray photodynamic therapy (XPDT) has been recently considered as an efficient alternative to conventional radiotherapy of malignant tissues. Nanocomposites for XPDT typically consist of two components—a nanophosphor which re-emits X-rays into visible light that in turn is absorbed by the second component, a photosensitizer, for further generation of reactive oxygen species. In this study, BaGdF5 nanophosphors doped with different Eu:Gd ratios in the range from 0.01 to 0.50 were synthesized by the microwave route. According to transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the average size of nanophosphors was ~12 nm. Furthermore, different coatings with amorphous SiO2 and citrates were systematically studied. Micro-CT imaging demonstrated superior X-ray attenuation and sufficient contrast in the liver and the spleen after intravenous injection of citric acid-coated nanoparticles. In case of the SiO2 surface, post-treatment core–shell morphology was verified via TEM and the possibility of tunable shell size was reported. Nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis revealed mesoporous SiO2 formation characterized by the slit-shaped type of pores that should be accessible for methylene blue photosensitizer molecules. It was shown that SiO2 coating subsequently facilitates methylene blue conjugation and results in the formation of the BaGdF5: 10% Eu3+@SiO2@MB nanocomposite as a promising candidate for application in XPDT.

The Rare-Earth Elements Doping of BaGdF 5 Nanophosphors for X-ray Photodynamic Therapy. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 11:3212.

Abstract
It is known that the initiation of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in deep-seated tumors requires the use of X-rays to activate the reactive oxygen species generation in deep tissues. The aim of this paper is to synthesize X-ray nanophosphors and analyze their structural and luminescence characteristics to push the PDT process deep into the body. The article deals with BaGdF5:Eu3+, BaGdF5:Sm3+, and BaGdF5:Tb3+ nanophosphors synthesized using microwave synthesis. It is found that the nanoparticles are biocompatible and have sizes 5-17 nm. However, according to the analysis of X-ray excited optical luminescence, BaGdF5:Sm3+ nanophosphors will not be effective for treating deep-seated tumors. Thus, BaGdF5:Eu3+ and BaGdF5:Tb3+ nanoparticles meet the requirements for the subsequent production of nanocomposites based on them that can be used in X-ray photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, more and more research enthusiasm has been devoted to the development of emerging two-dimensional (2D) monoelement materials (Xenes) and explored potential applications in various fields, especially biomedicine and bioimaging. The inspiring results attribute to their excellent physicochemical properties, including adjustable band gap, surface electronic layout characteristics, and so on, making it easier for surface modification in order to meet designated needs. As a popular interdisciplinary research frontier, a variety of methods for fabricating 2D Xenes have recently been adopted for pre-preparing future practical bioimaging applications, which implies that these materials will have broad clinical application prospects in the future. In this review, we will concentrate on the family of 2D Xenes and summarize their fabrication and modification methods firstly. Then, their applications in bioimaging as nanocarriers will be described according to the Periodic Table of Elements. In addition, current challenges and prospects for further clinical applications will be under discussion and use black phosphorus as a typical example. At last, general conclusion will be made that it is worth expecting that 2D Xenes will play a key role in the next generation of oncologic bioimaging in the future.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has attracted tremendous attention as a most promising nanomaterial among the carbon family since it emerged as a polynomial functional tool with rational applications in diverse fields such as biomedical engineering, electrocatalysis, biosensing, energy conversion, and storage devices. Despite having certain limitations due to its irreversible aggregation performance owing largely to the strong van der Waals interactions, efforts have been made to smartly engineer its surface chemistry for realistic multimodal applications. The use of such GO-based engineered devices has increased rapidly in the last few years, principally due to its excellent properties, such as huge surface area, honeycomb-like structure allowing vacant interstitial space to accommodate compounds, sp2 hybridized carbon, improved biocompatibility and cell surface penetration due to electronic interactions. Amongst multifaceted GO dynamics, in this review, attempts are made to discuss the advanced applications of GO or graphene-based materials (GBNs) in the biomedical field involving drug or therapeutic gene delivery, dual drug or drug-gene combination targeting, special delivery of drug cocktails to the brain, stimuli-responsive release of molecular payloads, and Janus-structured smart applications for polar-nonpolar combination drug loading followed by targeting together with smart bioimaging approaches. In addition, the advantages of duel-drug delivery systems are discussed in detail. We also discuss various electronic mechanisms, and detailed surface engineering to meet microcosmic criteria for its utilization, various novel implementations of engineered GO as mentioned above, together with discussions of its inevitable toxicity or disadvantages. We hope that the target audience, belonging to biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical or material science fields, may acquire relevant information from this review which may help them design future studies in this field.

Abstract
Early detection, right therapeutic intervention, and simultaneous effectiveness mapping are considered the critical factors in successful cancer therapy. Nevertheless, these factors experience the limitations of conventional cancer diagnostics and therapeutics delivery approaches. Along with providing the targeted therapeutics delivery, advances in nanomedicines have allowed the combination of therapy and diagnostics in a single system (called cancer theranostics). This paper discusses the progress in the pre-clinical and clinical development of therapeutics, diagnostics, and theranostics cancer nanomedicines. It has been well evident that compared to the overabundance of works that claimed success in pre-clinical studies, merely 15 and around 75 cancer nanomedicines are approved, and currently under clinical trials, respectively. Thus, we also brief the critical bottlenecks in the successful clinical translation of cancer nanomedicines.

Abstract
As a new member of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, black phosphorus (BP) has been considered as efficient photothermal therapy (PTT) agents owing to its excellent photothermal efficiency and biodegradability. Herein, a multifunctional nanoplatform based on black phosphorus nanosheets (BP NSs) was developed for chemo-photothermal synergistic cancer therapy. The BP NSs were successfully prepared by a liquid exfoliation technique. Doxorubicin (DOX), as a model drug, was loaded into the cavity of poly (amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer using thin film hydration method. Then, PAMAM@DOX was coated on the surface of BP NSs using an electrostatic adsorption method that combined bath sonication with magnetic stirring. Hyaluronic acid (HA) was also modified onto the BP NS-PAMAM@DOX through electrostatic adsorption. PAMAM and HA layer could effectively isolate BP NSs from water and air to improve physiological stability. BP NSs and BP NS-PAMAM@DOX-HA were characterized by particle size, zeta potential, morphology, UV-vis-NIR absorption spectra, stability, photothermal performance and photothermal stability. This nanosystem exhibited a good pH and near infrared (NIR) dual-responsive drug release property. In addition, the obtained BP NS-PAMAM@D OX-HA nanocomposites possessed excellent PTT efficiency both in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro cell experiments suggested that the targeted BP NS-PAMAM@DOX-HA presented greater cytotoxicity and higher cellular uptake efficiency. Tumor xenograft model was established in BALB/C mice. The therapeutic effect of BP NS-PAMAM@DOX-HA was further augmented under 808 nm laser irradiation, displaying superior antitumor effect in comparison with chemotherapy or PTT alone. Such a biodegradable BP NS-based platform provide new insights for the rational design of PTT-based combinational cancer therapy.

Abstract
During continuous innovation in the preparation, characterization and application of various bone repair materials for several decades, nanomaterials have exhibited many unique advantages. As a kind of representative two-dimensional nanomaterials, graphene and its derivatives (GDs) such as graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide have shown promising potential for the application in bone repair based on their excellent mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, large specific surface area (SSA) and atomic structure stability. Herein, we reviewed the updated application of them in bone repair in order to present, as comprehensively, as possible, their specific advantages, challenges and current solutions. Firstly, how their advantages have been utilized in bone repair materials with improved bone formation ability was discussed. Especially, the effects of further functionalization or modification were emphasized. Then, the signaling pathways involved in GDs-induced osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and immunomodulatory mechanism of GDs-induced bone regeneration were discussed. On the other hand, their applications as contrast agents in the field of bone repair were summarized. In addition, we also reviewed the progress and related principles of the effects of GDs parameters on cytotoxicity and residues. At last, the future research was prospected.

Abstract
Immune responses stimulated by photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are a promising strategy for the treatment of advanced cancer. However, the antitumor efficacy by PDT or PTT alone is less potent and unsustainable against cancer metastasis and relapse. In this study, Gd3+ and chlorin e6 loaded single-walled carbon nanohorns (Gd-Ce6@SWNHs) are developed, and it is demonstrated that they are a strong immune adjuvant, and have high tumor targeting and penetration efficiency. Then, three in vivo mouse cancer models are established, and it is found that sequential PDT and PTT using Gd-Ce6@SWNHs synergistically promotes systemic antitumor immune responses, where PTT stimulates dendritic cells (DCs) to secrete IL-6 and TNF-α, while PDT triggers upregulation of IFN-γ and CD80. Moreover, migration of Gd-Ce6@SWNHs from the targeted tumors to tumor-draining lymph nodes sustainably activates the DCs to generate a durable immune response, which eventually eliminates the distant metastases without using additional therapeutics. Gd-Ce6@SWNHs intervened phototherapies also generate durable and long-term memory immune responses to tolerate and prevent cancer rechallenge. Therefore, this study demonstrates that sequential PDT and PTT using Gd-Ce6@SWNHs under moderate conditions elicits cooperative and long-lasting antitumor immune responses, which are promising for the treatment of patients with advanced metastatic cancers.

High aggressiveness and recurrence of melanoma tumors require multiple systemic drug administrations, causing discomfort and severe side effects to the patients. Topical treatment strategies that provide repetitively controllable and precise drug administrations will greatly improve treatment effects. Methods: In this study, a spatiotemporally controlled pulsatile release system, which combined dissolving microneedles (DMNs) and thermal-sensitive solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), was constructed to realize multiple doses of dual-modal chemo-photothermal therapy in a single administration. Paclitaxel (PTX) and photothermal agent IR-780 were encapsulated into SLNs and were concentrated in the tips of DMNs (PTX/IR-780 SLNs @DMNs). Equipped with several needles, the DMN patch could be directly inserted into the tumor site and provide a stable “Zone accumulation” to constrain the PTX/IR-780 SLNs at the tumor site with uniform distribution. Results:In vitro experiments showed that after irradiation with near-infrared light, the PTX/IR-780 SLNs gradually underwent phase transition, thereby accelerating the release of PTX. When irradiation was switched off, the PTX/IR-780 SLNs cooled to re-solidify with limited drug release. Compared with intravenous and intratumoral injections, very few SLNs from PTX/IR-780 SLNs @DMNs were distributed into other organs, resulting in enhanced bioavailability at the tumor site and good safety. In vivo analysis revealed that PTX/IR-780 SLNs @DMNs exhibited significant anti-tumor efficacy. In particular, the primary tumor was completely eradicated with a curable rate of 100% in 30 days and the highest survival rate of 66.67% after 100 days of treatment. Conclusion: Herein, we developed a DMN system with a unique spatiotemporally controlled pulsatile release feature that provides a user-friendly and low-toxicity treatment route for patients who need long-term and repeat treatments.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanocarriers have been widely accepted and utilized for biomedical applications, because of their structural regularity, convenient post-modification and controllable structure and morphology. Herein, we reported polydopamine-doped virus-like mesoporous silica coated reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (rGO@PVMSNs) nanocomposites by a facile oil–water biphase stratification method. The synthesized rGO@PVMSNs nanocomposites performed excellent biocompatibility and photothermal performance. They could be employed as photoacoustic imaging contrast in vivo. Furthermore, the rGO@PVMSNs nanocarriers were used for loading the antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX), the rGO@PVMSNs@DOX nanocomposites were also demonstrated to be with high inhibition of HepG2 cancer cells, especially with the help of near-infrared irradiation, which were more efficient than single chemotherapy or photothermal therapy. The rGO@PVMSNs@DOX nanocomposites of this work could be used as photoacoustic imaging and chemo-photothermal synergetic therapy agents, which show a new perspective for clinical tumor diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Cancer represents one of the main causes of death in the world; hence the development of more specific approaches for its diagnosis and treatment is urgently needed in clinical practice. Here we aim at providing a comprehensive review on the use of 2-dimensional materials (2DMs) in cancer theranostics. In particular, we focus on graphene-related materials (GRMs), graphene hybrids, and graphdiyne (GDY), as well as other emerging 2DMs, such as MXene, tungsten disulfide (WS2), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), black phosphorus (BP), silicene, antimonene (AM), germanene, biotite (black mica), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), and others. The results reported in the scientific literature in the last ten years (>200 papers) are dissected here with respect to the wide variety of combinations of imaging methodologies and therapeutic approaches, including drug/gene delivery, photothermal/photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy. We provide a unique multidisciplinary approach in discussing the literature, which also includes a detailed section on the characterization methods used to analyze the material properties, highlighting the merits and limitations of the different approaches. The aim of this review is to show the strong potential of 2DMs for use as cancer theranostics, as well as to highlight issues that prevent the clinical translation of these materials. Overall, we hope to shed light on the hidden potential of the vast panorama of new and emerging 2DMs as clinical cancer theranostics.

Abstract
We have recently reported the synthesis and characterization of gold-coated iron oxide nanoparticle and demonstrated such a nanoparticle (Au@Fe2O3 NP) was able to significantly enhance the lethal effects of photo-thermo-radiotherapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the mechanisms behind such an enhancement by investigating the changes induced in cancer cell viability, proliferation, and morphology as well as monitoring the alteration of some genes which play important role in the process of cell death. Using MTT assay and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the KB cells viability and morphology were assessed after treating with various combinations of NPs, photothermal therapy (PTT), and radiotherapy (RT). Clonogenic assay was used to assess the proliferation ability of treated KB cells. Nanoparticle internalization into the cells was investigated by TEM and inductively coupled plasma (ICP). During the treatment procedures, temperature changes were monitored using an IR-camera. Furthermore, the changes occurred in Bax, BCL2 and HSP70 genes expression level were measured using real-time PCR. The results showed that combination of NP, PTT, and RT caused more cell death compared to PTT or RT alone. Following such a combination therapy, massive cell injury was detected. We also observed an extensive increase in Bax/Bcl2 ratio and HSP70 expression for the KB cells treated by combination therapy procedure. Our results showed that massive cell injury and apoptosis induction are the main reasons of extensive cell death observed in cancer cells when a nanoparticle assisted photo-thermo-radiotherapy procedure is applied.

Abstract
Low binding affinity and lack of therapy functions limit tumor targeting peptide applications in the biomedical field. Herein, we successfully modified a previous phage display derived Glypican-3 (GPC3) binding peptide (GBP) on the surface of a Fe3O4 Core/Au shell nanocomplex (FANP) to improve GBP binding affinity and enhance FANP tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) efficacy. As a result, GBP-FANP showed improved avidity to GPC-3 (Apparent Kd = 396.3 ± 70.8 nM) compared to that of GPB (Apparent Kd = 735.2 ± 53.6 nM). After intravenous administration, GBP-FANP was found specifically accumulated in GPC-3 positive HepG2 tumors and peaked at 24 h post-injection as observed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/photoacoustic (PA)/fluorescent imaging. Moreover, HepG2 tumors that received GBP-FANP treatment were significantly inhibited with laser irradiation (630 nm, 1 W cm-2, 10 min). In conclusion, our present strategy provides a way of improving peptide ligand avidity with nanotechnology for cancer theranostics applications.

Abstract
The potential health benefit of dietary fiber has attracted considerable attention in recent decades. In this study, the effects of modified dietary fibers (MDF) derived from okara on body composition, fat distribution, serum metabolomic parameters, and fatty acid profiles in mice fed high-fat diets (HFD) were evaluated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolic approach. HFD-induced C57BL mice were fed with a diet containing 100 g/kg MDF for 12 weeks. Compared with control mice, MDF-fed mice exhibited less fat and lower body weights, altered serum metabolomic profiles, and distinct fatty acid profiles. The levels of choline, phosphatidylcholine, glycerophosphorylcholine, glucose, lysine, scyllo-inositol, and glutamate for MDF group were higher than those for both CONT and HFD groups. A remarkable reduction of total cholesterol, total triglycerides, ω-6 fatty acids, alanine, citrate, creatine, or succinate was also observable for MDF group compared with HFD group. These findings demonstrated that the intake of MDF derived from okara clearly ameliorated some of the HFD-induced adverse metabolic effects and prevented adipose tissue accumulation.

Abstract
Rapid enzymatic degradation and fragmentation during DNA administration can result in limited gene expression, and consequently, poor efficacy. It is necessary to use novel vectors for DNA delivery. Herein, we aimed to design useful carriers for enhancing transfection efficiency (TE). These lipopolymers were prepared through Michael addition reactions from low-molecular-weight (LMW) polyethyleneimine (PEI) and linkers with three kinds of steroids. Agarose gel electrophoresis assay results displayed that the three lipopolymers could condense plasmid DNA well, and the formed polyplexes had appropriate sizes around 200⁻300 nm, and zeta potentials of about +25⁻40 mV. The results of in vitro experiments using HeLa, HEK293, and MCF-7 cells showed that these lipopolymers present higher TE than 25-kDa PEI, both in the absence and presence of 10% serum. Flow cytometry and confocal microscopy studies also demonstrated that these lipopolymer/DNA complexes present higher cellular uptake and intracellular distribution. The measurement of critical micelle concentration (CMC) revealed that these lipopolymers could form micelles, which are suited for drug delivery. All results suggest that the three materials may serve as hopeful candidates for gene and drug delivery in future in vivo applications.

Abstract
In the cutting-edge field of cancer therapy, noninvasive photothermal therapy (PTT) has received great attention because it is considered to overcome the drawbacks of conventional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy of severe body injuries and side effects on the immune system. The construction of PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms is the key issue in achieving tumor targeting, imaging and therapy in a synergetic manner. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in constructing PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms by integrating nanomaterials and functional polymers. The noninvasive photothermal cancer therapy mechanism and achievement strategies of PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms are presented as well as the innovative construction strategies and perspectives for the future. Owing to their high tumor ablation efficiency, biological availability and low- or non-toxicity, PTT therapeutic and theranostic nanoplatforms are promising and emerging in medicine and clinical applications.

Abstract
Porous silicon (PSi) has attracted wide interest as a potential material for various fields of nanomedicine. However, until now, the application of PSi in photothermal therapy has not been successful due to its low photothermal conversion efficiency. In the present study, biodegradable black PSi (BPSi) nanoparticles were designed and prepared via a high-yield and simple reaction. The PSi nanoparticles possessed a low band gap of 1.34 eV, a high extinction coefficient of 13.2 L/g/cm at 808 nm, a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 33.6%, good photostability, and a large surface area. The nanoparticles had not only excellent photothermal properties surpassing most of the present inorganic photothermal conversion agents (PCAs) but they also displayed good biodegradability, a common problem encountered with the inorganic PCAs. The functionality of the BPSi nanoparticles in photothermal therapy was verified in tumor-bearing mice in vivo. These results showed clearly that the photothermal treatment was highly efficient to inhibit tumor growth. The designed PCA material of BPSi is robust, easy to prepare, biocompatible, and therapeutically extremely efficient and it can be integrated with several other functionalities on the basis of simple silicon chemistry.

Abstract
Early identification and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma is very important for improving the prognosis and survival rate of the patient. To enhance the visualization and treatment efficiency of HCC, a theranostic agent has been developed that combines photoacoustic/fluorescence imaging with photothermal therapy for cancer. We report the synthesis of multifunctional theranostic SP94-modified polypyrrole (PPy)-BSA-ICG nanoparticles by a simple method. The multifunctional theranostic agent helped to combine two modes of imaging modalities, i.e. photoacoustic and near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging, together with photothermal therapy. These nanoparticles exhibited an excellent stability in physiological solutions (PBS, pH 7.4 at 37 °C), a higher tumor accumulation as compared to the unmodified nanoparticles, and minimal nonspecific uptake by other normal organs such as liver and spleen. Most importantly, the nanoparticles could effectively kill the tumor through photothermal therapy with no tumor recurrence upon a single laser irradiation event. These results indicate that SP94-modified PPy-BSA-ICG is potentially a promising theranostic agent for image-guided cancer therapy as it overcomes the limitations of each of the imaging modalities and thus improves the therapeutic efficiency and reduces the side effects.

Metabolomic response of osteosarcoma cells to nanographene oxide-mediated hyperthermia. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2018; 91:340-348.

Abstract
Nanographene oxide (nGO)-mediated hyperthermia has been increasingly investigated as a localized, minimally invasive anticancer therapeutic approach. Near InfraRed (NIR) light irradiation for inducing hyperthermia is particularly attractive, because biological systems mostly lack chromophores that absorb in this spectral window, facilitating the selective heating and destruction of cells which have internalized the NIR absorbing-nanomaterials. However, little is known about biological effects accompanying nGO-mediated hyperthermia at cellular and molecular levels. In this work, well-characterized pegylated nGO sheets with a hydrodynamic size of 300 nm were incubated with human Saos-2 osteosarcoma cells for 24 h and their internalization verified by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. No effect on cell viability was observed after nGO uptake by Saos-2 cells. However, a proliferation delay was observed due to the presence of nGO sheets in the cytoplasm. 1H NMR metabolomics was employed to screen for changes in the metabolic profile of cells, as this could help to improve understanding of cellular responses to nanomaterials and provide new endpoint markers of effect. Cells internalizing nGO sheets showed noticeable changes in several metabolites compared to control cells, including decreased levels of several amino acids, taurine and creatine and increased levels of phosphocholine and uridine/adenosine nucleotides. After NIR irradiation, cells showed decreases in glutamate and uridine nucleotides, together with increases in glycerophosphocholine and adenosine monophosphate. Overall, this study has shown that the cellular metabolome sensitively responded to nGO exposure and nGO-mediated hyperthermia and that NMR metabolomics is a powerful tool to investigate treatment responses.

Abstract
We have synthesized a graphene oxide (GO)-based theranostic nanodelivery system (GOTS) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using naturally occurring protocatechuic acid (PA) as an anticancer agent and gadolinium (III) nitrate hexahydrate (Gd) as the starting material for a contrast agent,. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were subsequently used as second diagnostic agent. The GO nanosheets were first prepared from graphite via the improved Hummer's protocol. The conjugation of the GO and the PA was done via hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions, followed by surface adsorption of the AuNPs through electrostatic interactions. GAGPA is the name given to the nanocomposite obtained from Gd and PA conjugation. However, after coating with AuNPs, the name was modified to GAGPAu. The physicochemical properties of the GAGPA and GAGPAu nanohybrids were studied using various characterization techniques. The results from the analyses confirmed the formation of the GOTS. The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) results showed the diffractive patterns for pure GO nanolayers, which changed after subsequent conjugation of the Gd and PA. The AuNPs patterns were also recorded after surface adsorption. Cytotoxicity and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast tests were also carried out on the developed GOTS. The GAGPAu was significantly cytotoxic to the human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) but nontoxic to the standard fibroblast cell line (3T3). The GAGPAu also appeared to possess higher T1 contrast compared to the pure Gd and water reference. The GOTS has good prospects of serving as future theranostic platform for cancer chemotherapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most powerful tool for deep penetration and high-quality 3D imaging of tissues with anatomical details. However, the sensitivity of the MRI technique is not as good as that of the radioactive or optical imaging methods. Carbon-based nanomaterials have attracted significant attention in biomaterial research in recent decades due to their unique physical properties, versatile functionalization chemistry, as well as excellent biological compatibility. Researchers have employed various carbon nano-allotropes to develop hybrid MRI contrast agents for improved sensitivity. This review summarizes the new research progresses in carbon-based hybrid MRI contrast agents, especially those reported in the past five years. The review will only focus on T2-weighted MRI agents and will be categorized by the different carbon allotrope types and magnetic components. Considering the strong trend in recent bio-nanotechnology research towards multifunctional diagnosis and therapy, carbon-based MRI contrast agents integrated with other imaging modalities or therapeutic functions are also covered.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to construct an alginate (AG)-based phase-changeable and injectable hydrogel for imaging-guided tumor hyperthermia and chemotherapy. Based on the binding between the α-l-guluronic blocks of AG and calcium ions, the AG/MoS2/Bi2S3-poly(ethylene glycol) (MBP)/doxorubicin (DOX) solution formed a cross-linked hydrogel to simultaneously encapsulate MBP nanosheets and DOX within the hydrogel matrix. The in situ formed hydrogel can act as a reservoir to control the release of entrapped drug molecules, and the doped MBP nanosheets and DOX can realize computed tomography/photoacoustic dual-modal imaging-guided in vivo tumor photothermal therapy and chemotherapy, respectively. The AG/MBP/DOX hydrogel exhibited excellent photothermal conversion properties with mass extinction coefficient of 45.1 L/g/cm and photothermal conversion efficiency of 42.7%. Besides, the heat from the photothermal transformation of MBP can promote drug diffusion from the hydrogel to realize on-demand drug release. Additionally, the hydrogel system can restrain MBP and DOX from entering into the blood stream during therapy, and therefore substantially decrease their side effects on normal organs. More importantly, the drug loading of the AG hydrogel was general and can be extended to the encapsulation of antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, for the prevention of postoperative infections.
