Synthesis of targeted doxorubicin-loaded gold nanorod -mesoporous manganese dioxide core-shell nanostructure for ferroptosis, chemo-photothermal therapy in vitro and in vivo. Int J Pharm 2024; 665:124725. [PMID: 39293581 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2024] [Revised: 09/14/2024] [Accepted: 09/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/20/2024]
Abstract
In the current study, a core-shell inorganic nanostructure comprising a gold nanorod core and -mesoporous manganese dioxide shell was synthesized. Then, the mesoporous manganese dioxide shell was loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and then coated with pluronic F127 and pluronic F127-folic acid conjugate (1.5:1 wt ratio of pluronic F127: pluronic F127-folic acid conjugate) to prepare targeted final platform. In this design, mesoporous manganese dioxide acted as a reservoir for DOX loading, anti-hypoxia, and MRI contrast agent, while the gold nanorod core acted as a photothermal and CT scan imaging agent. DOX was encapsulated in the mesoporous manganese dioxide shell with a loading capacity and loading efficiency of 19.8 % ± 0.2 and 99.0 % ± 0.9, respectively. The in vitro release experiment showed the impact of glutathione (GSH), mildly acidic pH, and laser irradiating toward accelerated stimuli-responsive DOX release. The ·OH production of the prepared platform was verified by methylene blue (MB) decomposition reaction. Furthermore, thermal imaging exhibited the ability of the prepared platform to convert the NIR irradiation to heat. In vitro cytotoxicity tests on the folate receptor-positive 4 T1 cell line revealed the remarkable cytotoxicity of the targeted formulation compared to the nontargeted formulation (statistically significant). The MTT experiment demonstrated that exposure to laser 808 irradiation enhanced cytotoxicity of the targeted formulation (p < 0.0001). The production of ROS in 4 T1 cells following treatment with the targeted formulation was demonstrated by the dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) assay. Furthermore, in vivo investigations by implementing subcutaneous 4 T1 tumorized female BABL/c mice indicated that the prepared platform was an effective system in suppressing tumor growth by combining chemotherapy with PTT (photothermal therapy). Additionally, simultanous PTT and anti-hypoxic activity of this system showed potent tumor growth suppression impact. The percent of tumor size reduction in mice treated with FA-F127-DOX@Au-MnO2 + 808 nm laser compared to the control group was 99.7 %. The results of the biodistribution investigation showed tumor accumulation and modified pharmacokinetics of the targeted system. Lastly, 6 and 24 h post-intravenous injection, CT-scan and MR imagings capability of the prepared platform was verified in preclinical stage. The prepared multipurpose system introduces great opportunity to provide multiple treatment strategy along with multimodal imaging capability in a single platform for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Targeted drug delivery of biological molecules using the development of biocompatible, non-toxic and biodegradable nanocarriers can be a promising method for cancer therapy. In this study, silk fibroin protein nanoparticles (SFPNPs) were synthesized as a targeted delivery system for sulforaphane-rich broccoli sprout extract (BSE). The BSE-loaded SFPNPs were conjugated with polyethylene glycol and folic acid, and then their physicochemical properties were characterized via UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR, DLS, FE-SEM and EDX analyses. In vitro, the release profile, antioxidant and anticancer activities of NPs were also studied. The FE-SEM and DLS analyses indicated stable NPs with an average size of 88.5 nm and high zeta potential (-32 mV). The sulforaphane release profile from NPs was pH-dependent, with the maximum release value (70%) observed in simulated intestinal fluid (pH = 7.4). Encapsulation of BSE also decreased the release rate of sulforaphane from the capsules compared to free BSE. In vitro cytotoxicity of BSE and NPs on breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7) was concentration-dependent, and the IC50 for BSE and NPs were 54 and 210 μg ml-1, respectively. Moreover, the NPs demonstrated no appreciable cytotoxicity in normal mouse fibroblast (L929) cell lines. These results indicated that biocompatible NPs synthesized as controlled and long-term targeted drug delivery systems can be a potential candidate for breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Over the years, natural compounds have become a significant advancement in cancer treatment, primarily due to their effectiveness, safety, bio-functionality, and wide range of molecular structures. They are now increasingly preferred in drug discovery due to these attributes. These compounds, whether occurring naturally or with synthetic modifications, find applications in various fields like biology, medicine, and engineering. While chemotherapy has been a successful method for treating cancer, it comes with systemic toxicity. To address this issue, researchers and medical practitioners are exploring the concept of combinational chemotherapy. This approach aims to reduce toxicity by using a mix of natural substances and their derivatives in clinical trials and prescription medications. Among the most extensively studied natural anticancer compounds are quercetin, curcumin, vincristine, and vinblastine. These compounds play crucial roles as immunotherapeutics and chemosensitizers, both as standalone treatments and in combination therapies with specific mechanisms. This review article provides a concise overview of the functions, potentials, and combinations of natural anticancer compounds in cancer treatment, along with their mechanisms of action and clinical applications.

Abstract
Metal oxide nanoparticles have attracted increased attention due to their emerging applications in cancer detection and therapy. This study envisioned to highlight the great potential of metal oxide NPs due to their interesting properties including high payload, response to magnetic field, affluence of surface modification to overcome biological barriers, and biocompatibility. Mammogram, ultrasound, X-ray computed tomography (CT), MRI, positron emission tomography (PET), optical or fluorescence imaging are used for breast imaging. Drug-loaded metal oxide nanoparticle delivered to the breast cancer cells leads to higher drug uptake. Thus, enhanced the cytotoxicity to target cells compared to free drug. The drug loaded metal oxide nanoparticle formulations hold great promise to enhance efficacy of breast cancer therapy including multidrug resistant (MDR) and metastatic breast cancers. Various metal oxides including magnetic metal oxides and magnetosomes are of current interests to explore cancer drug delivery and diagnostic efficacy especially for metastatic breast cancer. Metal oxide-based nanocarrier formulations are promising for their usage in drug delivery and release to breast cancer cells, cancer diagnosis and their clinical translations. Biomarker targeted therapy approaches for TNBC using metal oxide-based NPs are highly effective and promising.![]()

Receptor-Mediated Targeted Delivery of Surface-ModifiedNanomedicine in Breast Cancer: Recent Update and Challenges. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:2039.

Abstract
Breast cancer therapeutic intervention continues to be ambiguous owing to the lack of strategies for targeted transport and receptor-mediated uptake of drugs by cancer cells. In addition to this, sporadic tumor microenvironment, prominent restrictions with conventional chemotherapy, and multidrug-resistant mechanisms of breast cancer cells possess a big challenge to even otherwise optimal and efficacious breast cancer treatment strategies. Surface-modified nanomedicines can expedite the cellular uptake and delivery of drug-loaded nanoparticulate constructs through binding with specific receptors overexpressed aberrantly on the tumor cell. The present review elucidates the interesting yet challenging concept of targeted delivery approaches by exploiting different types of nanoparticulate systems with multiple targeting ligands to target overexpressed receptors of breast cancer cells. The therapeutic efficacy of these novel approaches in preclinical models is also comprehensively discussed in this review. It is concluded from critical analysis of related literature that insight into the translational gap between laboratories and clinical settings would provide the possible future directions to plug the loopholes in the process of development of these receptor-targeted nanomedicines for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Disease signature-based drug repositioning approaches typically first identify a disease signature from gene expression profiles of disease samples to represent a particular disease. Then such a disease signature is connected with the drug-induced gene expression profiles to find potential drugs for the particular disease. In order to obtain reliable disease signatures, the size of disease samples should be large enough, which is not always a single case in practice, especially for personalized medicine. On the other hand, the sample sizes of drug-induced gene expression profiles are generally large. In this study, we propose a new drug repositioning approach (HDgS), in which the drug signature is first identified from drug-induced gene expression profiles, and then connected to the gene expression profiles of disease samples to find the potential drugs for patients. In order to take the dependencies among genes into account, the human protein complexes (HPC) are used to define the drug signature. The proposed HDgS is applied to the drug-induced gene expression profiles in LINCS and several types of cancer samples. The results indicate that the HPC-based drug signature can effectively find drug candidates for patients and that the proposed HDgS can be applied for personalized medicine with even one patient sample.

Abstract
Aim of the present investigation was to assess and compare the in-vitro and in-vivo cancer targeting propensity of DPPE-FA-DOX Micelles and free DOX in tumor bearing BALB/c mice. The DOX was conjugated with 1, 2-Dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamin (DPPE) and folic acid using Di-cyclohexyl-carbodiimide, confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and proton NMR. DPPE-FA-DOX micelles were prepared using thin film method and evaluated for zeta potential, particle size, surface morphology, in- vitro drug release study etc. In-vitro anticancer activity and apoptosis assay was evaluated in breast cancer (MCF-7) cells using MTT assay and flow cytometer respectively. In-vivo biodistribution and toxicity assessment were evaluated in rats whereas antitumor activity in tumor bearing BALB/c mice. Prepared micelles were spherical with size and zeta potential of 295.6 + 84.4 nm and 0.8 ± 0.24 mV respectively. Apoptosis assay for DPPE-FA-DOX micelles treated cells using Annexin V/PI staining demonstrated 56.2% apoptotic cells. Remarkably, DPPE-FA-DOX micelles improved DOX bioavailability by 7 fold and diminished plasma elimination with no sign of tissue toxicity compared to free DOX. In-vivo biodistribution studies revealed that micelles facilitated higher accumulation of DOX in tumor than free DOX. DPPE-FA-DOX micelles treated mice survived for 62 days than Free DOX (40 days), revealed by Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis. Histopathological examination of liver, kidney and heart tissues of micelles treated rat's corroborated reduced systemic toxicity than free DOX. Conclusively, DPPE-FA-DOX micelles could potentially facilitate the targeted delivery of DOX to tumors.

Abstract
Safe administration of highly cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs is a challenging problem in cancer treatment due to the adverse side effects and collateral damage to non-tumorigenic cells. To mitigate these problems, promising new approaches, based on the paradigm of controlled targeted drug delivery (TDD), and utilizing drug nanocarriers with biorecognition ability to selectively target neoplastic cells, are being considered in cancer therapy. Herein, we report on the design and testing of a nanoparticle-grid based biosensing platform to aid in the development of new targeted drug nanocarriers. The proposed sensor grid consists of superparamagnetic gold-coated core-shell Fe2Ni@Au nanoparticles, further functionalized with folic acid targeting ligand, model thiolated chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX), and a biocompatibility agent, 3,6-dioxa-octanethiol (DOOT). The employed dual transduction method based on electrochemical and enhanced Raman scattering detection has enabled efficient monitoring of the drug loading onto the nanocarriers, attaching to the sensor surface, as well as the drug release under simulated intracellular conditions. The grid's nanoparticles serve here as the model nanocarriers for new TDD systems under design and optimization. The superparamagnetic properties of the Fe2Ni@Au NPs aid in nanoparticles' handling and constructing a dense sensor grid with high plasmonic enhancement of the Raman signals due to the minimal interparticle distance.

Abstract
In recent years, nanotechnology has attracted attention for its capability to diagnose and remedy diverse tumors successfully. Protein nanocarriers as a platform of targeted drug delivery can be used to reduce toxicity and improve the effect of anticancer drugs. Idarubicin (IDR) is a chemotherapy drug that is classified as an anthracycline antitumor. In this study, IDR was encapsulated within horse spleen apoferritin (HsAFr) nanocarriers. Encapsulation was obtained through disassembling apoferritin into subunits at pH 2 and subsequently reassembling it at pH 7.4 in the presence of IDR. Transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques showed that drug molecules are loaded within apoferritin. Intrinsic fluorescence information exhibited that the encapsulation does not have any effects on the tertiary structure of the protein. Drug loading and entrapment efficiency were found to be 7.15% and 84.75%, respectively. Comparison of anticancer activities in HsAFr-IDR and free drug IDR was made via the MTT viability technique in a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7).

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide and its treatment remains very challenging. The effectiveness of cancer therapy significantly depends upon tumour-specific delivery of the drug. Nanoparticle drug delivery systems have been developed to avoid the side effects of the conventional chemotherapy. However, according to the most recent recommendations, future nanomedicine should be focused mainly on active targeting of nanocarriers based on ligand-receptor recognition, which may show better efficacy than passive targeting in human cancer therapy. Nevertheless, the efficacy of single-ligand nanomedicines is still limited due to the complexity of the tumour microenvironment. Thus, the NPs are improved toward an additional functionality, e.g., pH-sensitivity (advanced single-targeted NPs). Moreover, dual-targeted nanoparticles which contain two different types of targeting agents on the same drug delivery system are developed. The advanced single-targeted NPs and dual-targeted nanocarriers present superior properties related to cell selectivity, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity toward cancer cells than conventional drug, non-targeted systems and single-targeted systems without additional functionality. Folic acid and biotin are used as targeting ligands for cancer chemotherapy, since they are available, inexpensive, nontoxic, nonimmunogenic and easy to modify. These ligands are used in both, single- and dual-targeted systems although the latter are still a novel approach. This review presents the recent achievements in the development of single- or dual-targeted nanoparticles for anticancer drug delivery.

Folic Acid Conjugated Nanocarriers for Efficient Targetability and Promising Anticancer Efficacy for Treatment of Breast Cancer: A Review of Recent Updates. Curr Pharm Des 2020; 26:5365-5379.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the commonest cause of cancer deaths among Women. It is known to be
caused due to mutations in certain receptors, viz. estrogens or progesterones. The most frequently used conventional
treatment strategies against BC include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and partial or entire mastectomy,
however, these strategies are often associated with multiple adverse effects, thus reducing patient compliance.
Advancement of nanotechnology in the medical application has been made to enhance the therapeutic
effectiveness with a significant reduction in the unintended side-effects associated with incorporated anticancer
drugs against cancer. The surface engineering technology of the nanocarriers is more pronounced in delivering
the therapeutics specifically to target cells. Consequently, folic acid, a small molecular ligand for the folate receptor
overexpressed cells, has shown immense response in treating BC cells. Folic acid conjugated nanocarriers
have shown remarkable efficiency in targeting overexpressed folate receptors on the surface of BC cells.
Binding of these target-specific folate-conjugated nanocarriers substantially improves the internalization of chemotherapeutics
in BC cells, without much exposing the other parts of the body. Simultaneously, these folate--
conjugated nanocarriers provide imaging for regular monitoring of targeted drug delivery systems and their responses
to an anticancer therapy. Therefore, this review demonstrates the potential of folate-conjugated nanotherapeutics
for the treatment and theranostic approaches against BC along with the significant challenges to anticancer
therapy, and the prospective insights into the clinical importance and effectiveness of folate conjugate
nanocarriers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women worldwide. The extremely fast rate of metastasis and ability to develop resistance mechanism to all the conventional drugs make them very difficult to treat which are the causes of high morbidity and mortality of breast cancer patients. Scientists throughout the world have been focusing on the early detection of breast tumor so that treatment can be started at the very early stage. Moreover, conventional treatment processes such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and local surgery suffer from various limitations including toxicity, genetic mutation of normal cells, and spreading of cancer cells to healthy tissues. Therefore, new treatment regimens with minimum toxicity to normal cells need to be urgently developed. METHODS Iron oxide nanoparticles have been widely used for targeting hyperthermia and imaging of breast cancer cells. They can be conjugated with drugs, proteins, enzymes, antibodies or nucleotides to deliver them to target organs, tissues or tumors using external magnetic field. RESULTS Iron oxide nanoparticles have been successfully used as theranostic agents for breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, their functionalization with drugs or functional biomolecules enhance their drug delivery efficiency and reduces the systemic toxicity of drugs. CONCLUSION This review mainly focuses on the versatile applications of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles on the diagnosis, treatment, and detecting progress of breast cancer treatment. Their wide application is because of their excellent superparamagnetic, biocompatible and biodegradable properties.

Abstract
Cancer theranostics represents a strategy that aims at combining diagnosis with therapy through the simultaneous imaging and targeted delivery of therapeutics to cancer cells. Recently, the folate receptor alpha has emerged as an attractive theranostic target due to its overexpression in multiple solid tumors and its great functional versatility. In fact, it can be incorporated into folate-conjugated nano-systems for imaging and drug delivery. Hence, it can be used along the line of personalized clinical strategies as both an imaging tool and a delivery method ensuring the selective transport of treatments to tumor cells, thus highlighting its theranostic qualities. In this review, we will explore these theranostic characteristics in detail and assess their clinical potential. We will also discuss the technological advances that have allowed the design of sophisticated folate-based nanocarriers harboring various chemical properties and suited for the transport of various therapeutic agents.

Magnetic Hyperthermia in Y79 Retinoblastoma and ARPE-19 Retinal Epithelial Cells: Tumor Selective Apoptotic Activity of Iron Oxide Nanoparticle. Transl Vis Sci Technol 2019; 8:18. [PMID: 31602343 PMCID: PMC6779177 DOI: 10.1167/tvst.8.5.18] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2018] [Accepted: 06/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate selective apoptosis of Y79 retinoblastoma versus ARPE-19 retinal pigment epithelial cells by using different doses of dextran-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (DCIONs) in a magnetic hyperthermia paradigm. Methods Y79 and ARPE-19 cells were exposed to different concentrations of DCIONs, namely, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 mg/ml. After 2 hours of incubation, cells were exposed to a magnetic field with a frequency of 250 kHz and an amplitude of 4 kA/m for 30 minutes to raise the cellular temperature between 42 and 46°C. Y79 and ARPE-19 cells incubated with DCION without magnetic field exposure were used as controls. Cell viability and apoptosis were assessed at 4, 24, and 72 hours after hyperthermia treatment. Results At 4 hours following magnetic hyperthermia, cell death for Y79 cells was 1%, 8%, 17%, and 17% for 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 mg/ml of DCION, respectively. Cell death increased to 47%, 59%, 70%, and 75% at 24 hours and 16%, 45%, 50%, and 56% at 72 hours for 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 mg/ml of DCIONs, respectively. Magnetic hyperthermia did not have any significant toxic effects on ARPE-19 cells at all DCION concentrations, and minimal baseline cytotoxicity of DCIONs on Y79 and ARPE-19 cells was observed without magnetic field activation. Gene expression profiling showed that genes involved in FAS and tumor necrosis factor alpha signaling pathways were activated in Y79 cells following hyperthermia. Caspase 3/7 activity in Y79 cells increased following treatment, consistent with the activation of caspase-mediated apoptosis and loss of cell viability by magnetic hyperthermia. Conclusion Magnetic hyperthermia using DCIONs selectively kills Y79 cells at 0.5 mg/ml or higher concentrations via the activation of apoptotic pathways. Translational Relevance Magnetic hyperthermia using DCIONs might play a role in targeted management of retinoblastoma.

Abstract
Polymer functionalized metal oxide nanocomposites are great interest due to wide range of application, especially in nanomedicine. The present study reports an eco-friendly bio-inspired synthesis of chitosan/copper oxide (CS-CuO) nanocomposite for the first time using rutin. The bio-synthesized CS-CuO nanocomposite was characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy, FE-SEM, EDS, TEM, XRD and FTIR analyses. FE-SEM and TEM images revealed the synthesized CS-CuO nanocomposite having spherical shaped structure with an average size of 10-30 nm. EDS analysis confirmed the elements present in synthesized CS-CuO nanocomposite. FTIR studies revealed the role of rutin and chitosan for reduction, capping and synthesis of CS-CuO nanocomposite from the precursor copper salt. The XRD analysis revealed monoclinic structure of CS-CuO nanocomposite. Anti-proliferative activity of the CS-CuO nanocomposite was evaluated in human lung cancer cell line A549. Synthesized CS-CuO nanocomposite showed concentration-depended anti-proliferative activity against A549 cancer cells and their IC50 value was found to be 20 ± 0.50 μg/mL. Furthermore, synthesized nanocomposite induce apoptosis in treated A549 cancer cells assayed by AO/EtBr fluorescent staining method. In conclusion, the synthesized CS-CuO nanocomposite using rutin can be used as a potential anticancer agent in biomedical and clinical sectors.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common female cancer worldwide and represents 12% of all cancer cases. Improvements in survival rates are largely attributed to improved screening and diagnosis. Conventional chemotherapy remains an important treatment option but it is beset with poor cell selectivity, serious side effects and resistance. Nanoparticle drug delivery systems bring promising opportunities to breast cancer treatment. They may improve chemotherapy by targeting drugs to tumors, generating high drug concentrations at tumors providing slow release of the drug, increased drug stability and concomitant reductions in side effects. The nanotechnology-based drug delivery approaches and the current research and application status of nano-targeted agents for breast cancer are discussed in this review to provide a basis for further study on targeted drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles (USIONPs) (<4 nm) have recently attracted significant attention because of their potential as positive T1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent contrary to larger superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (>6 nm) which act as negative T2 MRI contrast agents. However, studies on the cellular uptake behavior of these nanoparticles are very limited compared to their counterpart, larger-sized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. In particular, the effects of specific nanoparticle parameters on the cellular uptake behavior of USIONPs by various cancer cells are not available. Here, we specifically investigated the role of USIONPs' surface functionalities [tannic acid (TA) and quinic acid (QA)] in mediating cellular uptake behavior of cancer cells pertaining to primary (U87 cells) and metastatic (MDA-MB-231Br cells) brain malignancies. Here, we chose TA and QA as representative capping molecules, wherein TA coating provides a general negatively charged nontargeting surface while QA provides a tumor-targeting surface as QA and its derivatives are known to interact with selectin receptors expressed on tumor cells and tumor endothelium. We observed differential cellular uptake in the case of TA- and QA-coated USIONPs by cancer cells. Both the cell types showed significantly higher cellular uptake of QA-coated USIONPs compared to TA-coated USIONPs at 4, 24, and 72 h. Blocking studies indicated that P-selectin cell surface receptors, in part, mediated the cellular uptake of QA-coated USIONPs. Given that P-selectin is overexpressed in cancer cells, tumor microenvironment, and at the metastatic niche, QA-coated USIONPs hold potential to be utilized as a platform for tumor-targeted drug delivery and in imaging and detection of primary and metastatic tumors.

Abstract
The topoisomerase II inhibitor idarubicin (Ida) is an effective anticancer anthracycline drug and has been used for clinical therapies of multiple cancers. It is well-known that Ida and its analogues can induce DNA double strand breakage (DSB) by inhibiting topoisomer II and kill tumor cells. To date, it remains unknown whether they alter DNA epigenomes. Here, we show that Ida significantly stimulates the oxidation of a key epigenetic mark DNA 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5mC), which results in elevation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5hmC) in four tested cell lines. Similarly, Ida analogues also display elevated 5hmC. DSB-causing topoisomer II inhibitor etopside fails to induce 5hmC change even at very high dose, which suggests the independence of the DSB. Moreover, the structure comparison supports that the histone eviction-associated amino sugar moiety is a characteristic of the anthracyclines required to promote the 5hmC elevation. Noteworthy, we also found that the 5mC oxidation is also cell-cycle dependent and mainly occurs during the S and G2/M phases. TET2 depletion diminishes the observed 5hmC elevation, which suggests that the Ida stimulation of 5hmC formation is mainly TET2-dependent. Deep-sequencing shows that 5hmC increases in all regions of the tested genome of T47D cells. The observation of a novel effect of Ida as well as other anthracycline compounds on epigenetic DNA modifications may help to further elucidate their biological and clinical effects.

Abstract
Purpose Nanoparticle (NP)-based drug delivery approaches have tremendous potential for enhancing treatment efficacy and decreasing doses of chemotherapeutics. Idarubicin (IDA) is one of the most common chemotherapeutic drugs used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, severe side effects and drug resistance markedly limit the application of IDA. Methods In this study, we encapsulated IDA in polymeric NPs and validated their antileukemia activity in vitro and in vivo. Results NPs with an average diameter of 84 nm was assembled from a methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(l-lactide-co-glycolide) (mPEG-PLGA). After loading of IDA, IDA-loaded mPEG-PLGA NPs (IDA/mPEG-PLGA NPs) were formed. The in vitro release data showed that the IDA/mPEG-PLGA NPs have excellent sustained release property. IDA/mPEG-PLGA NPs had exhibited the lower IC50 than pure IDA. Moreover, IDA/mPEG-PLGA NPs in the same concentration substantially induced apoptosis than did pure IDA. Most importantly, IDA/MPEG-PLGA NPs significantly decreased the infiltration of leukemia blasts and improved the overall survival of MLL-AF9-induced murine leukemia compared with free IDA. However, the blank NPs were nontoxic to normal cultured cells in vitro, suggesting that NPs were the safe carrier. Conclusion Our data suggest that IDA/mPEG-PLGA NPs might be a suitable carrier to encapsulate IDA. Low dose of IDA/mPEG-PLGA NPs can be used as a conventional dosage for antileukemia therapy to reduce side effect and improve survival.

Abstract
Chemotherapy still constitutes a basic treatment for various types of cancer. Anthracyclines are effective antineoplastic drugs that are widely used in clinical practice. Unfortunately, they are characterized by high systemic toxicity and lack of tumour selectivity. A promising way to enhance treatment effectiveness and reduce toxicity is the synthesis of systems containing anthracyclines either in the form of complexes for the encapsulation of active drugs or their covalent conjugates with inert carriers. In this respect nanotechnology offers an extensive spectrum of possible solutions. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the development of anthracycline prodrugs based on nanocarriers such as copolymers, lipids, DNA, and inorganic systems. The review focuses on the chemical architecture of the noncovalent nanocarrier-drug systems.

Abstract
Nanotechnology offers several advantages for drug delivery. However, there is the need for addressing potential safety concerns regarding the adverse health effects of these unique materials. Some such effects may occur due to undesirable interactions between nanoparticles and the immune system, and they may include hypersensitivity reactions, immunosuppression, and immunostimulation. While strategies, models, and approaches for studying the immunological safety of various engineered nanoparticles, including metal oxides, have been covered in the current literature, little attention has been given to the interactions between iron oxide-based nanomaterials and various components of the immune system. Here we provide a comprehensive review of studies investigating the effects of iron oxides and iron-based nanoparticles on various types of immune cells, highlight current gaps in the understanding of the structure-activity relationships of these materials, and propose a framework for capturing their immunotoxicity to streamline comparative studies between various types of iron-based formulations.

Abstract
Various types of nanoparticles (NPs) have been used in delivering anticancer drugs to the site of action. This area has become more attractive in recent years due to optimal size and negligible undesirable side effects caused by the NPs. The focus of this review is to explore various types of NPs and their surface/chemical modifications as well as attachment of targeting ligands for tuning their properties in order to facilitate targeted delivery to the cancer sites in a rate-controlled manner. Heme compatibility, biodistribution, longer circulation time, hydrophilic lipophilic balance for high bioavailability, prevention of drug degradation and leakage are important in transporting drugs to the targeted cancer sites. The review discusses advantages of polymeric, magnetic, gold, and mesoporous silica NPs in delivering chemotherapeutic agents over the conventional dosage formulations along with their shortcomings/risks and possible solutions/alternatives.

Abstract
The number and diversity of chemical structures currently available as antibacterial drugs is much higher compared with the number of active substances in relation to pathogenic fungi. In this review we focus on nanotechnology approaches, which offer promising strategies to create nanoagents that possess broad-spectrum antifungal activity and might overcome mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. Special attention was given to magnetic nanoparticles and their ability to restrict fungal growth directly, which depends on surface chemistry and pathogen strains. We speculate that future developments of new antifungal methods will take advantage of the current knowledge of using of magnetic nanomaterials as anticancer agents based on their ability to induce hyperthermia and enhance photosensitizing processes.

Abstract
Current advances in targeted magnetic nanotheranostics are summarized in this review. Unique structural, optical, electronic and thermal properties of magnetic materials in nanometer scale are attractive in the field of biomedicine. Magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with therapeutic molecules, ligands for targeted delivery, fluorescent and other chemical agents can be used for cancer diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. High selectivity, small size, and low immunogenicity of synthetic nucleic acid aptamers make them attractive delivery agents for therapeutic purposes. Properties, production and functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles and aptamers as ligands for targeted delivery are discussed herein. In recent years, magnetic nanoparticles have been widely used in diagnostic methods, such as scintigraphy, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Raman spectroscopy. Therapeutic purposes of magnetic nanoconstructions are also promising. They are used for effective drug delivery, magnetic mediated hypertermia, and megnetodynamic triggering of apoptosis. Thus, magnetic nanotheranostics opens a new venue for complex differential diagnostics, and therapy of metastatic cancer.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are commonly used in biomedical detection due to their capability to bind with some specific antibodies. Quantification of biological entities could be realized by measuring the magnetic response of MNPs after the binding process. This paper presents a contactless scanning prototype based on tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) sensors for quantification of MNPs present in lateral flow strips (LFSs). The sensing unit of the prototype composes of two active TMR elements, which are parallel and closely arranged to form a differential sensing configuration in a perpendicular magnetic field. Geometrical parameters of the configuration are optimized according to theoretical analysis of the stray magnetic field produced by the test line (T-line) while strips being scanned. A brief description of our prototype and the sample preparation is presented. Experimental results show that the prototype exhibits the performance of high sensitivity and strong anti-interference ability. Meanwhile, the detection speed has been improved compared with existing similar techniques. The proposed prototype demonstrates a good sensitivity for detecting samples containing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) at a concentration of 25 mIU/mL. The T-line produced by the sample with low concentration is almost beyond the visual limit and produces a maximum stray magnetic field some 0.247 mOe at the sensor in the x direction.

Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy is the most valid method to cope with cancer; however, it has serious drawbacks such as decrease in production of blood cells or inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract. These side effects occur since generally the drugs used in chemotherapy are distributed evenly within the body of the patient and cannot distinguish the cancer cells from the healthy ones. In this study, folic acid (FA)-conjugated, polyethylene-coated magnetic nanoparticles (FA-MNPs), and doxorubicin (Dox)-loaded formulation (Dox-FA-MNPs) were prepared. The cytotoxicity of these nanoparticles on HeLa and Dox-resistant HeLa cells was investigated. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated MNPs (PEG-MNPs), and FA-MNPs were successfully synthesized and characterized by several methods. Dox loading of FA-MNPs and release profile of Dox from the nanoparticles were studied. Cytotoxic effects of FA-MNPs and Dox-FA-MNPs on HeLa cells were analyzed. MNPs, PEG-MNPs, and FA-MNPs all had small sizes and supermagnetic behavior. High amounts of Dox could be loded onto the nanoparticles (290 μgmL-1). In 24 h, 15.7% of Dox was released from the Dox-FA-MNPs. The release was increased in acidic conditions (pH 4.1). Internalization studies showed that FA-MNPs and Dox-FA-MNPs were taken up efficiently by HeLa cells. The investigation of cytotoxicity of the particles indicated that 38-500 μgmL-1 Dox-FA-MNPs significantly decreased the proliferation of HeLa cells compared to FA-MNPs. Due to their size, magnetic properties, internalization, drug release, and cytotoxicity characteristics, the MNPs prepared in this study may have potential application as a drug delivery system in cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
A novel method for enhancing the anticancer activity of anthracyclines in vitro was proposed by using hydrophilic magnetic nanoparticles. Citric acid-coated magnetite nanoparticles Fe3O4 (nano-Fe3O4-CA) interacted with anthracyclines by electrostatic and hydrophobic forces, resulting in the formation of aggregates (nano-Fe3O4-CA-drug). The aggregate was studied by resonance light scattering and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results indicated that in comparison with anthracyclines, the nano-Fe3O4-CA-drug showed high activity towards incorporation in the DNA chain. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of nano-Fe3O4-CA-drug was investigated by cytotoxicity experiment and cell morphology study. The results confirmed that the nano-Fe3O4-CA-drug could inhibit the growth of cells more effectively than the drug alone. In conclusion, usage of nano-Fe3O4-CA affords reduction of the dosage of anthracyclines in vitro.

Abstract
The selective and efficient drug delivery to tumor cells can remarkably improve different cancer therapeutic approaches. There are several nanoparticles (NPs) which can act as a potent drug carrier for cancer therapy. However, the specific drug delivery to cancer cells is an important issue which should be considered before designing new NPs for in vivo application. It has been shown that cancer cells over-express folate receptor (FR) in order to improve their growth. As normal cells express a significantly lower levels of FR compared to tumor cells, it seems that folate molecules can be used as potent targeting moieties in different nanocarrier-based therapeutic approaches. Moreover, there is evidence which implies folate-conjugated NPs can selectively deliver anti-tumor drugs into cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we will discuss about the efficiency of different folate-conjugated NPs in cancer therapy.

Abstract
The pleiotropic activity of human cathelicidin LL-37 peptide includes an ability to suppress development of colon cancer cells. We hypothesized that the anticancer activity of LL-37 would improve when attached to the surface of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Using colon cancer culture (DLD-1 cells and HT-29 cells), we evaluated the effects of MNPs, LL-37 peptide, its synthetic analog ceragenin CSA-13, and two novel nanosystems, ie, MNP@LL-37 and MNP@CSA-13, on cancer cell viability and apoptosis. Treatment of cancer cells with the LL-37 peptide linked to MNPs (MNP@LL-37) caused a greater decrease in cell viability and a higher rate of apoptosis compared with treatment using free LL-37 peptide. Additionally, we observed a strong ability of ceragenin CSA-13 and MNP@CSA-13 to induce apoptosis of DLD-1 cells. We found that both nanosystems were successfully internalized by HT-29 cells, and cathelicidin LL-37 and ceragenin CSA-13 might play a key role as novel homing molecules. These results indicate that the previously described anticancer activity of LL-37 peptide against colon cancer cells might be significantly improved using a theranostic approach.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in the use of nanosystems such as nanoalloys, bimetallic nanoparticles, metallic nanoparticles and magnetic nanoparticles in biomedical applications. These applications can be as diverse as hyperthermic treatments; targeted drug delivery; bio-imaging; cell labelling and gene delivery. The use of nanoalloys in these applications has received only limited attention due to the fact that there were many unanswered questions and concerns regarding nanoparticles and nanoalloys such as their stability over time, tendency to agglomerate, chemical activity, ease of oxidation, biocompatibility and cytotoxicity. In this chapter we survey current applications and advances in magnetic nanoparticles used in these biomedical applications so as to understand the materials properties that can pave the way for the use of nanoalloys as a potential alternative or improve solutions that are offered by current materials.

Abstract
AbstractNanomedicine and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are thought to have an important impact on medicine in the future. Especially in cancer therapy, SPIONs offer the opportunity of improving the effectivity of the treatment and reduce side effects by magnetic accumulation of SPION-bound chemotherapeutics in the tumor area. Although still some challenges have to be overcome, before the new treatment concept of magnetic drug targeting will reach the patients, substantial progress has been made, and promising results were shown in the last years.
