Abstract
Polysaccharides (PSAs) are carbohydrate-based macromolecules widely used in the biomedical field, either in their pure form or in blends/nanocomposites with other materials. The relationship between structure, properties, and functions has inspired scientists to design multifunctional PSAs for various biomedical applications by incorporating unique molecular structures and targeted bulk properties. Multiple strategies, such as conjugation, grafting, cross-linking, and functionalization, have been explored to control their mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, hydrophilicity, degradability, rheological features, and stimuli-responsiveness. For instance, custom-made PSAs are known for their worldwide biomedical applications in tissue engineering, drug/gene delivery, and regenerative medicine. Furthermore, the remarkable advancements in supramolecular engineering and chemistry have paved the way for mission-oriented biomaterial synthesis and the fabrication of customized biomaterials. These materials can synergistically combine the benefits of biology and chemistry to tackle important biomedical questions. Herein, we categorize and summarize PSAs based on their synthesis methods, and explore the main strategies used to customize their chemical structures. We then highlight various properties of PSAs using practical examples. Lastly, we thoroughly describe the biomedical applications of tailor-made PSAs, along with their current existing challenges and potential future directions.

Graphene-silymarin-loaded chitosan/gelatin/hyaluronic acid hybrid constructs for advanced full-thickness burn wound management. Int J Pharm 2024; 659:124238. [PMID: 38768692 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124238] [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: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
Burn wounds (BWs) with extensive blood loss, along with bacterial infections and poor healing, may become detrimental and pose significant rehabilitation obstacles in medical facilities. Therefore, the freeze-drying method synthesized novel hemocompatible chitosan, gelatin, and hyaluronic acid infused with graphene oxide-silymarin (CGH-SGO) hybrid constructs for application as a BW patch. Most significantly, synthesized hybrid constructs exhibited an interconnected-porous framework with precise pore sizes (≈118.52 µm) conducive to biological functions. Furthermore, the FTIR and XRD analyses document the constructs' physiochemical interactions. Similarly, enhanced swelling ratios, adequate WVTR (736 ± 78 g m-2 hr-1), and bio-degradation rates were seen during the physiological examination of constructs. Following the in vitro investigations, SMN-GO added to constructs improved their anti-bacterial (against E.coli and S. aureus), anti-oxidant, hemocompatible, and bio-compatible characteristics in conjunction with prolonged drug release. Furthermore, in vivo, implanting constructs on wounds exhibited significant acceleration in full-thickness burn wound (FT-BW) healing on the 14th day (CGH-SGO: 95 ± 2.1 %) in contrast with the control (Gauze: 71 ± 4.2 %). Additionally, contrary to gauze, the in vivo rat tail excision model administered with constructs assured immediate blood clotting. Therefore, CGH-SGO constructs with an improved porous framework, anti-bacterial activity, hemocompatibility, and biocompatibility could represent an attractive option for healing FT-BWs.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) has emerged as potent therapeutic agents for biofilm-associated bacterial infections. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), involving the generation of high-energy ROS, displays great potential in the therapy of bacterial infections. However, challenges such as insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and over-expressed glutathione (GSH) levels within the microenvironment of bacterial biofilms severely limit the antibacterial efficacy of CDT. Herein, we have developed a multifunctional nanoplatform (CuS@CaO2@Dex) by integrating copper sulfide (CuS) and calcium peroxide (CaO2) into dextran (Dex)-coated nanoparticles. This innovative platform enhanced ROS generation for highly efficient biofilm elimination by simultaneously supplying H2O2 and depleting GSH. The Dex-coating facilitated the penetrability of CuS@CaO2@Dex into biofilms, while CaO2 generated a substantial amount of H2O2 in the acidic biofilm microenvironment. CuS, through a Fenton-like reaction, catalyzed the conversion of self-supplied H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and consumed the overexpressed GSH. Additionally, the incorporation of near-infrared II (NIR II) laser irradiation enhanced the photothermal properties of CuS, improving the catalytic efficiency of the Fenton-like reaction for enhanced antibacterial effects. In vivo experiments have demonstrated that CuS@CaO2@Dex exhibited remarkable antibacterial and antibiofilm efficacy, exceptional wound healing capabilities, and notable biosafety. In summary, the Dex-coated nanoplatform proposed in this study, with its self-sterilization capability through ROS, holds significant potential for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
The progressive inflammatory disease atherosclerosis promotes myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart attack. Anti-inflammatory drugs treat severe atherosclerosis. They are inadequate bioavailability and cause adverse effects at higher doses. A new nanomaterial coupled pH-apperceptive drug delivery system for atherosclerotic plaque is outlined here. We have synthesized a Graphene Oxide-Gelatin-Atorvastatin (GO-Gel-ATR) nanodrug characterized by spectroscopic and imaging techniques. The encapsulation efficiency of GO-Gel-ATR (79.2%) in the loading process is observed to be better than GO-ATR (66.8%). The internal milieu of the plaque cells has a pH of 6.8. The GO-Gel-ATR displays sustained and cumulative release profile at pH 6.8 compared to ATR and GO-ATR. Our proposed nanocomposite demonstrated high cytocompatibility up to 100μg/mL in foam cells induced by Oxidized-Low Density Lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) and Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) compared to normal macrophages for 24 and 48 h. The uptake efficacy of the nanodrugs is shown to be enhanced in foam cells compared to normal macrophage. Oil red O staining of foam cells with and without drugs confirmed therapeutic efficacy. Foam cells treated with nanocomposite had more lipids efflux than ATR. The finding of the in-vitro study reveals that the GO-Gel-ATR nanocomposite carriers have the potential to deliver anti-atherosclerotic drugs effectively and inhibit atherosclerotic plaque progression.

Abstract
Graphene, fullerenes, diamond, carbon nanotubes, and carbon dots are just a few of the carbon-based nanomaterials that have gained enormous popularity in a variety of scientific disciplines and industrial uses. As a two-dimensional material in the creation of therapeutic delivery systems for many illnesses, nanosized graphene oxide (NGO) is now garnering a large amount of attention among these materials. In addition to other benefits, NGO functions as a drug nanocarrier with remarkable biocompatibility, high pharmaceutical loading capacity, controlled drug release capability, biological imaging efficiency, multifunctional nanoplatform properties, and the power to increase the therapeutic efficacy of loaded agents. Thus, NGO is a perfect nanoplatform for the development of drug delivery systems (DDSs) to both detect and treat a variety of ailments. This review article's main focus is on investigating surface functionality, drug-loading methods, and drug release patterns designed particularly for smart delivery systems. The paper also examines the relevance of using NGOs to build DDSs and considers prospective uses in the treatment of diseases including cancer, infection by bacteria, and bone regeneration medicine. These factors cover the use of naturally occurring medicinal substances produced from plant-based sources.

Abstract
Immunostimulatory CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs) show strong potential in cancer immunotherapy. However, therapeutic efficacy of CpG ODNs is hindered due to rapid nuclease degradation and insufficient cellular uptake. Transfecting CpG ODNs into antigen presenting cells (APCs) is vital to enhance their therapeutic efficacy while reduce the potential side effects. Herein, a multifunctional CpG ODNs vector was fabricated through functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) with yeast β-D-glucan, and its potential in cancer immunotherapy was further investigated. GO-β-D-glucan protected CpG ODNs from nuclease digestion. β-D-glucan endowed the delivery system with targeting ability for macrophage due to its recognition with dectin-1. Thus, GO-β-D-glucan enhanced the delivery of CpG ODNs into RAW264.7 cells due to dectin-1-mediated endocytosis. More importantly, β-D-glucan functioned synergistically with CpG ODNs in inducing antitumor immunity. GO-β-D-glucan/CpG ODNs inhibited the tumor cells growth more effectively. This work provides a macrophage-targeted CpG ODNs delivery system for cancer immunotherapy. Graphic abstract.

Abstract
A large amount of graphene-related research is its use as a filler for polymer composites, including thin nanocomposite films. However, its use is limited by the need for large-scale methods to obtain high-quality filler, as well as its poor dispersion in the polymer matrix. This work presents polymer thin-film composites based on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and graphene, whose surfaces were modified by curcuminoids. TGA, UV-vis, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, TEM, and SEM methods have confirmed the effectiveness of the graphene modification due to π-π interactions. The dispersion of graphene in the PVC solution was investigated by the turbidimetric method. SEM, AFM, and Raman spectroscopy methods evaluated the thin-film composite's structure. The research showed significant improvements in terms of graphene's dispersion (in solutions and PVC composites) following the application of curcuminoids. The best results were obtained for materials modified with compounds obtained from the extraction of the rhizome of Curcuma longa L. Modification of the graphene's surface with these compounds also increased the thermal and chemical stability of PVC/graphene nanocomposites.

Abstract
In the past few years, the development in the construction and architecture of graphene based nanocomplexes has dramatically accelerated the use of nano-graphene for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, fostering a new area of nano-cancer therapy. To be specific, nano-graphene is increasingly used in cancer therapy, where diagnosis and treatment are coupled to deal with the clinical difficulties and challenges of this lethal disease. As a distinct family of nanomaterials, graphene derivatives exhibit outstanding structural, mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal capabilities. Concurrently, they can transport a wide variety of synthetic agents, including medicines and biomolecules, such as nucleic acid sequences (DNA and RNA). Herewith, we first provide an overview of the most effective functionalizing agents for graphene derivatives and afterward discuss the significant improvements in the gene and drug delivery composites based on graphene.

Dextran is by far one of the most interesting non-toxic, bio-compatible macromolecules, an exopolysaccharide biosynthesized by lactic acid bacteria. It has been extensively used as a major component in many types of drug-delivery systems (DDS), which can be submitted to the next in-vivo testing stages, and may be proposed for clinical trials or pharmaceutical use approval. An important aspect to consider in order to maintain high DDS' biocompatibility is the use of dextran obtained by fermentation processes and with a minimum chemical modification degree. By performing chemical modifications, artefacts can appear in the dextran spatial structure that can lead to decreased biocompatibility or even cytotoxicity. The present review aims to systematize DDS depending on the dextran type used and the biologically active compounds transported, in order to obtain desired therapeutic effects. So far, pure dextran and modified dextran such as acetalated, oxidised, carboxymethyl, diethylaminoethyl-dextran and dextran sulphate sodium, were used to develop several DDSs: microspheres, microparticles, nanoparticles, nanodroplets, liposomes, micelles and nanomicelles, hydrogels, films, nanowires, bio-conjugates, medical adhesives and others. The DDS are critically presented by structures, biocompatibility, drugs loaded and therapeutic points of view in order to highlight future therapeutic perspectives.

Abstract
Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA oligomers that have the ability to generate unique and diverse tertiary structures that bind to cognate molecules with high specificity. In recent years, aptamer researches have witnessed a huge surge, owing to its unique properties, such as high specificity and binding affinity, low immunogenicity and toxicity, and simplicity of synthesis with negligible batch-to-batch variation. Aptamers may bind to targets, such as various cancer biomarkers, making them applicable for a wide range of cancer diagnosis and treatment. In cancer diagnostic applications, aptamers are used as molecular probes instead of antibodies. They have the potential to detect various cancer-associated biomarkers. For cancer therapeutic purposes, aptamers can serve as therapeutic or delivery agents. The chemical stabilization and modification strategies for aptamers may expand their serum half-life and shelf life. However, aptamer-based probes for cancer diagnosis and therapy still face several challenges for successful clinical translation. A deeper understanding of nucleic acid chemistry, tissue distribution, and pharmacokinetics is required in the development of aptamer-based probes. This review summarizes their application in cancer diagnostics and treatments based on different localization of target biomarkers, as well as current challenges and future prospects.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of chitosan graphene oxide Codonopsis pilosula polysaccharide (CS-GO-CPP) complex on the immune function of macrophage cells (RAW264.7). In this experiment, chitosan (CS) was combined with graphene oxide (GO) by electrostatic action to prepare CS-GO nanocomposites, and it was used as a carrier to load Codonopsis pilosula polysaccharide (CPP) onto CS-GO to prepare CS-GO-CPP. Using infrared spectroscopy detection, zeta potential detection, and thermogravimetric analysis, we conduct a preliminary analysis of the structure of CS-GO-CPP. Macrophages were employed to evaluate CS-GO-CPP immunomodulatory activity and the possible mechanism responsible for the activation of macrophages in vitro. The results showed that compared with CPP, CS-GO-CPP did not change the basic structure of polysaccharide, and its thermal stability was improved. 0.78- 12.5 μg·mL-1 of CS-GO-CPP could significantly promote the phagocytic activity of RAW264.7 cells (P < 0.05) and significantly increase NO content, IL-4 and IFN-γ secretion, the expression of CD40, CD86, and F4/80 (P < 0.05). CS-GO-CPP might activate the NF-κB signaling pathway and induce the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65. In conclusion, CS-GO-CPP has a capacity to activate RAW264.7 cells for an improvement of immunomodulation activities, which might be through NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background: Enhancing the therapeutic profile of hydrophobic drugs using the development of biocompatible drug delivery systems is an urgent need. Many types of research have been conducted on graphene derivatives owing to their unique characteristics. Methods: In this survey, QUER, a natural medicine, was loaded on carboxylated GO, and cytotoxicity assay and the uptake of QUER into prostate cancer cells (PC3) were evaluated. Results: The release behavior of QUER was temperature- and pH-sensitive. Although QUER was loaded with high efficiency, the released rate was low (23.25% at pH 5.5 and 42 °C). The toxicity and intensity of fluorescence in the FREE QUER were higher than the loaded form. Conclusion: High-capacity loading and controlled release of GO QUER can be recognized as a proper candidate in treating cancer.

Abstract
Functionalized graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles are being increasingly employed for designing modern drug delivery systems because of their high degree of functionalization, high surface area with exceptional loading capacity, and tunable dimensions. With intelligent controlled release and gene silencing capability, GO is an effective nanocarrier that permits the targeted delivery of small drug molecules, antibodies, nucleic acids, and peptides to the liquid or solid tumor sites. However, the toxicity and biocompatibility of GO-based formulations should be evaluated, as these nanomaterials may introduce aggregations or may accumulate in normal tissues while targeting tumors or malignant cells. These side effects may potentially be impacted by the dosage, exposure time, flake size, shape, functional groups, and surface charges. In this review, the strategies to deliver the nucleic acid via the functionalization of GO flakes are summarized to describe the specific targeting of liquid and solid breast tumors. In addition, we describe the current approaches aimed at optimizing the controlled release towards a reduction in GO accumulation in non-specific tissues in terms of the cytotoxicity while maximizing the drug efficacy. Finally, the challenges and future research perspectives are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Nanobioconjugates are nanoscale drug delivery vehicles that have been conjugated to or decorated with biologically active targeting ligands. These targeting ligands can be antibodies, peptides, aptamers, or small molecules such as vitamins or hormones. Most research studies in this field have been devoted to targeting cancer. Moreover, the nanostructures can be designed with an additional level of targeting by being designed to be stimulus-responsive or "smart" by a judicious choice of materials to be incorporated into the hybrid nanostructures. This stimulus could be an acidic pH, raised temperature, enzyme, ultrasound, redox potential, an externally applied magnetic field, or laser irradiation. In this case, the smart capability can increase the accumulation at the tumor site or the on-demand drug release, while the ligand ensures selective binding to the tumor cells. The present review highlights some interesting studies classified according to the nanostructure material. These materials include natural substances (polysaccharides), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (and halloysite nanotubes), metal-organic frameworks and covalent-organic frameworks, metal nanoparticles (gold and silver), and polymeric micelles.

Chem Biol Interact 2022; 361:109964. [PMID: 35513013 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2022.109964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that link to various substrates with great affinity and selectivity, including small molecules, peptides, proteins, cells, and tissues. For this reason, they can be used as imaging agents for cancer imaging techniques. Multifunctional nanomaterials combined with imaging probes and drugs are promising cancer diagnosis and treatment candidates. On the other hand, carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs), including such as fullerene, carbon nanotubes, carbon-based quantum dots, carbon nanohorns, graphene oxide and its derivatives carbon nanodots, and nanodiamonds, are sort of smart materials that can be used in a variety of theranostic applications, including photo-triggered therapies. The remarkable physical characteristics, functionalizable chemistry, biocompatibility, and optical properties of these nanoparticles have enabled their utilization in less-invasive therapies. The theranostic agents that emerged by combining aptamers with CNMs have opened a novel alternative for personified medicine of cancer, target-specific imaging, and label-free diagnosis of a broad range of cancers, as well as pathogens. Aptamer-functionalized CNMs have been used as nanovesicles for targeted delivery of anti-cancer agents (i.e., doxorubicin and 5-fluorouracil) to tumor sites. Furthermore, these CNMs conjugated with aptamers have shown great advantages over standard CNMs to sensitively detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Citrobacter freundii. Regrettably, CNMs can form compounds defined as NOAA (nano-objects, and their aggregates and agglomerates larger than 100 nm), that accumulate in the body and cause toxic effects. Surface modification and pretreatment with albumin avoid agglomeration and increase the dispersibility of CNMs, so it is needed to guarantee the desirable interactions between functionalized CNMs and blood plasma proteins. This preliminary review aimed to comprehensively discuss the features and uses of aptamer-conjugated CNMs to manage cancer and bacterial infections.

Abstract
Abnormal iron metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction and the derived oxidative damage are the main pathogeneses of Friedrich's ataxia (FRDA), a single-gene inherited recessive neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cerebellar and sensory ataxia. This disease is caused by frataxin (FXN) mutation, which reduces FXN expression and impairs iron sulfur cluster biogenesis. To date, there is no effective therapy to treat this condition. Curcumin is proposed harboring excellent ability to resist oxidative stress through Nrf2 activation and its newly found ability to chelate iron. However, its limitation is its poor water solubility and permeability. Here, we synthesized slow-release nanoparticles (NPs) by loading curcumin (Cur) into silk fibroin (SF) to form NPs with an average size of 150 nm (Cur@SF NPs), which exhibited satisfactory therapeutic effects on the improvement of FRDA manifestation in lymphoblasts (1 μM) derived from FRDA patients and in YG8R mice (150 mg/kg/5 days). Cur@SF NPs not only removed iron from the heart and diminished oxidative stress in general but also potentiate iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis, which compensates FXN deficiency to improve the morphology and function of mitochondria. Cur@SF NPs showed a significant advantage in neuron and myocardial function, thereby improving FRDA mouse behavior scores. These data encourage us to propose that Cur@SF NPs are a promising therapeutic compound in the application of FRDA disease.

Abstract
Injectable in situ forming hydrogels are amongst the efficient local drug delivery systems for cancer therapy. Providing a 3D hydrogel network within the target tissue capable of sustained release of the chemotherapeutics made them attractive candidates for increasing the therapeutic index. Remarkable swelling properties, mechanical strength, biocompatibility, wide composition variety and tunable polymeric moieties have led to preparation of injectable hydrogels which also could be used as cavity adaptive chemotherapeutic-loaded implants to prevent post -surgical cancer recurrence. Implementation of various polymers, nanoparticles, peptide and proteins and different crosslinking chemistry facilitated the fabrication of hybrid hydrogels with favorable characteristics such as stimuli sensitive platforms or multifunctional systems. In the current review, we focused on design and fabrication strategies of injectable in situ forming hydrogels and summarized recent hybrid hydrogels used for local cancer therapy.

Abstract
Targeted cancer therapy has become one of the most important medical methods because of the spreading and metastatic nature of cancer. Based on the introduction of AS1411 and its four-chain structure, this paper reviews the research progress in cancer detection and drug delivery systems by modifying AS1411 aptamers based on graphene, mesoporous silica, silver and gold. The application of AS1411 in cancer treatment and drug delivery and the use of AS1411 as a targeting agent for the detection of cancer markers such as nucleoli were summarized from three aspects of active targeting, passive targeting and targeted nucleic acid apharmers. Although AS1411 has been withdrawn from clinical trials, the research surrounding its structural optimization is still very popular. Further progress has been made in the modification of nanoparticles loaded with TCM extracts by AS1411.

Abstract
Background MicroRNAs (miRs) have been shown to be closely associated with the occurrence and development of tumors and to have potential as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. The detection of miRs by noninvasive imaging technology is crucial for deeply understanding their biological functions. Our aim was to develop a novel miR-21-responsive gene reporter system for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visualization of the miR-21 dynamics in neuroblastoma. Methods The reporter gene ferritin heavy chain (FTH1) was modified by the addition of 3 copies of the sequence completely complementary to miR-21 (3xC_miR-21) to its 3’-untranslated region (3’ UTR) and transduced into SK-N-SH cells to obtain SK-N-SH/FTH1-3xC_miR-21 cells. Then, the antagomiR-21 was delivered into cells by graphene oxide functionalized with polyethylene glycol and dendrimer. Before and after antagomiR-21 delivery, FTH1 expression, MRI contrast and intracellular iron uptake were assayed in vitro and in vivo. Results In the SK-N-SH/FTH1-3xC_miR-21 cells, FTH1 expression was in an “off” state due to the combination of intratumoral miR-21 with the 3’ UTR of the reporter gene. AntagomiR-21 delivered into the cells bound to miR-21 and thereby released it from the 3’ UTR of the reporter gene, thus “switching on” FTH1 expression in a dose-dependent manner. This phenomenon resulted in intracellular iron accumulation and allowed MRI detection in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion MRI based on the miR-21-responsive gene reporter may be a potential method for visualization of the endogenous miR-21 activity in neuroblastoma and its response to gene therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer is among the leading causes of death due to cancers around the globe. Current therapeutic approaches towards healing of breast cancer have been associated with poor outcomes. Graphene and its derivatives have a two-dimensional flat structure, which is characterized by the ability to carry drugs and modify the surface, low cytotoxicity, and high biocompatibility. This study was performed on MCF7 and BT474 human breast cancer cells. Different concentrations of doxorubicin (DOX), graphene oxide (GO), and graphene oxide plus doxorubicin (GO-DOX) were subjected to both cell lines at specified intervals. At the end of the treatments, MTT test was applied to determine the viability of cells, and then flow cytometry, colony formation, and spheroid tests were implemented in both cell lines treated with DOX, GO, and GO-DOX components. We used DLS and TEM to confirm the GO properties. According to the MTT test results, 1 μL of DOX at 10 mg/ml (equivalent to 0.1 mg/ml) caused 50% survival of MCF7 cells at 24 h. In both cell lines, an increase in apoptosis occurred after incubation with GO and DOX. Although a rate of mortality of MCF-7 cells was due to necrosis, the BT474 cell death was merely through the apoptosis. Furthermore, the results of the colony formation test outlined an enhancing inhibitory effect in the presence of GO-DOX as a comparison to the control. Additionally, spheroids formed following treatment with GO-DOX exhibited a significant decrease compared to their control group, with an increase in the number of spheroids in BT474 cells compared to those in the MCF-7. The decreasing effect of compounds against the migration and cell invasion potential was also observed, being higher in MCF7 than BT474 cells. The effects of cytotoxic GO were observed at higher concentrations.

Abstract
In this study, a dual-receptor doxorubicin-targeted delivery system based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) modified with mucine-1 and ATP aptamers (DOX@MSNs-Apts) was developed. An amine-modified mucine-1 (MUC1) aptamer was covalently anchored on the surface of carboxyl-functionalized MSNs. Then, ATP aptamers (ATP1 and ATP2 aptamers) were immobilized on the surface of MSNs through partial hybridization with the MUC1 aptamer by forming a Y-shaped DNA structure on the MSNs surface (DOX@MSNs-Apts) as a gatekeeper. The developed DOX@MSNs-Apts exhibited high DOX loading capacity. In addition, it indicated an ATP-responsive feature, leading to the release of DOX in the environment with high ATP concentration (10 mM), similar to the intracellular environment of tumor cells. This property demonstrated that anticancer drug (DOX) could be entrapped inside the nanocarrier with nearly no leakage in blood and a very low concentration of ATP (1 μM). It was found that after the internalization of DOX@MSNs-MUC1 by cancer cells via the MUC1 receptor-mediated endocytosis, the ATP aptamers left the surface of the nanocarrier, allowing for rapid DOX release. DOX@MSNs-Apts indicated higher cellular uptake in MCF-7 and C26 cancer cells (MUC1+), rather than CHO cells (MUC1-). The in vitro cytotoxicity and the in vivo antitumor efficacy of DOX@MSNs-Apts showed greater cytotoxicity than the nanoparticles decorated with scrambled ATP aptamers (DOX@MSNs-Apts scrambled) in C26 and MCF-7 cell lines (MUC1+). The biodistribution and in vivo anticancer efficacy on the C26 tumor bearing mice indicated that the DOX@MSNs-Apts had a higher tumor accumulation and superior tumor growth inhibitory effect compared to free DOX and their scrambled aptamers, DOX@MSNs-Apts scrambled. Overall, the obtained results indicated that the prepared smart platform could reveal new insights into the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women population on a global scale, with a huge number of new cases and deaths each year. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of literatures on the discovery and development of novel anti-breast cancer drugs and materials, aiming to increase the survival rate of breast cancer patients. One of the newest tools used for the therapy of breast cancer is graphene-based materials, which have ultra-high surface area as well as unique physical, chemical and mechanical properties. It is reported that graphene-based materials could induce apoptosis in cancer cells while showing low toxicity due to their carbon structure. Therefore, they can be used as nano-drugs or biological carriers to introduce small molecules such as nucleic acids, drugs, or photosensitizers into the human body to achieve treatment goals. This article introduces the synthetic methods for graphene-based materials, as well as the current status and the future prospects of graphene-based materials' application in the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has broad potential in the biomedical sector. The oxygen-abundant nature of GO means the material is hydrophilic and readily dispersible in water. GO has also been known to improve cell proliferation, drug loading, and antimicrobial properties of composites. Electrospun composites likewise have great potential for biomedical applications because they are generally biocompatible and bioresorbable, possess low immune rejection risk, and can mimic the structure of the extracellular matrix. In the current review, GO-containing electrospun composites for tissue engineering applications are described in detail. In addition, electrospun GO-containing materials for their use in drug and gene delivery, wound healing, and biomaterials/medical devices have been examined. Good biocompatibility and anionic-exchange properties of GO make it an ideal candidate for drug and gene delivery systems. Drug/gene delivery applications for electrospun GO composites are described with a number of examples. Various systems using electrospun GO-containing therapeutics have been compared for their potential uses in cancer therapy. Micro- to nanosized electrospun fibers for wound healing applications and antimicrobial applications are explained in detail. Applications of various GO-containing electrospun composite materials for medical device applications are listed. It is concluded that the electrospun GO materials will find a broad range of biomedical applications such as cardiac patches, medical device coatings, sensors, and triboelectric nanogenerators for motion sensing and biosensing.

Abstract
A novel method for the preparation of antitumor drug vehicles has been optimized. Biological materials of chitosan oligosaccharide (CO) and γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) have previously been employed as modifiers to covalently modify graphene oxide (GO), which in turn loaded doxorubicin (DOX) to obtain a nano drug delivery systems of graphene oxide based composites (GO-CO-γ-PGA-DOX). The system was not equipped with the ability of initiative targeting, thus resulting into toxicity and side effects on normal tissues or organs. In order to further improve the targeting property of the system, the nucleic acid aptamer NH2 -AS1411 (APT) of targeted nucleolin (C23) was used to conjugate on GO-CO-γ-PGA to yield the targeted nano drug delivery system APT-GO-CO-γ-PGA. The structure, composition, dispersion, particle size and morphology properties of the synthesized complex have been studied using multiple characterization methods. Drug loading and release profile data showed that APT-GO-CO-γ-PGA is provided with high drug loading capacity and is capable of controlled and sustained release of DOX. Cell experimental results indicated that since C23 was overexpressed on the surface of Hela cells but not on the surface of Beas-2B cells, APT-GO-CO-γ-PGA-DOX can target Hela cells and make increase toxicity to Hela cells than Beas-2B cells, and the IC50 value of APT-GO-CO-γ-PGA-DOX was 3.23±0.04 μg/mL. All results proved that APT-GO-CO-γ-PGA can deliver antitumor drugs in a targeted manner, and achieve the effect of reducing poison, which indicated that the targeted carrier exhibits a broad application prospect in the field of biomedicine.

Abstract
A grand challenge in drug delivery is providing the right dose, at the right anatomic location, for the right duration of time to maximize therapeutic efficacy while minimizing off-target toxicity and other deleterious side-effects. Two general modalities are receiving broad attention for localized drug delivery. In the first, referred to as "targeted accumulation", drugs or drug carriers are engineered to have targeting moieties that promote their accumulation at a specific tissue site from circulation. In the second, referred to as "local anchoring", drugs or drug carriers are inserted directly into the tissue site of interest where they persist for a specified duration of time. This review surveys recent advances in harnessing molecular recognition between proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates to mediate targeted accumulation and local anchoring of drugs and drug carriers.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized PLA-PEI micelles which was co-loaded with an anticancer drug, camptothecin (CPT), and survivin-shRNA (sur-shRNA). The hydrophobic CPT was encapsulated in the core of the polymeric micelles while sur-shRNA was adsorbed on the shell of the cationic micelles. Then, the positively-charged sur-shRNA-loaded micelles were coated with poly carboxylic acid dextran (PCAD) to form PLA/PEI-CPT-SUR-DEX. To selectively target the system to colon cancer cells, AS1411 aptamer was covalently attached to the surface of the PCAD-coated nanoparticles (PLA/PEI-CPT-SUR-DEX-APT). PLA/PEI-CPT-SUR-DEX-APT enhanced cellular uptake through receptor-mediated endocytosis followed by increased CPT accumulation, downregulation of survivin, and thereby 38% cell apoptosis. In C26 tumor-bearing mice models, after administered intravenously, PLA/PEI-CPT-SUR-DEX-APT and PLA/PEI-CPT-SUR-DEX formulations resulted in a significant inhibition of the tumor growth with tumor inhibition rate of 93% and 87%, respectively. Therefore, PLA/PEI-CPT-SUR-DEX-APT could be a versatile co-delivery vehicle for promising therapy of colorectal cancer.

[PMID: 33340628 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.12.084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2020] [Revised: 11/29/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a nanoscale graphene oxide polymer composite drug delivery system was synthesized and investigated for possible oral delivery of doxorubicin. A doxorubicin-loaded nanocomposite composed of graphene oxide/poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate)-g-poly(lactide)-b-polyethyleneglycol-b-poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate)-g-poly(lactide) GO/(PHEMA-g-PLA)-b-PEG-b-(PHEMA-g-PLA) was synthesized via reversible addition fragmentation chain (RAFT) and ring open polymerization (ROP). The GO/(PHEMA-g-PLA)-b-PEG-b- (PHEMA-g-PLA) nanocomposites was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), thermogravimetry (TG), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Doxorubicin was successfully loaded into the nanocomposite with a small particle size of 51 nm and an encapsulation efficiency (EE) of 82% ±1.12%. The results showed that DOX was attached to the graphene surface via hydrophobic interactions and π-π stacking. DOX release took place under neutral and acidic conditions, reaching 24.7% and 41.2% respectively after 72 h. Cytotoxicity experiments on 4T1 murine breast cancer cells demonstrated the antitumor activity of the DOX@GO nanocomposite. Biocompatibility, cell uptake, DAPI staining, Annexin V/PI double staining, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay, and scratch healing assay were measured. The DOX@graphene nanocomposite system could be promising for breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
The development of an advanced and efficient drug delivery system with significant improvement in its efficacy and enhanced therapeutic value is one of the critical challenges in modern medicinal biology. The integration of nanomaterial science with molecular and cellular biology has helped in the advancement and development of novel drug delivery nanocarrier systems with precision and decreased side effects. The design and synthesis of nanocarriers using graphene oxide (GO) have been rapidly growing over the past few years. Due to its remarkable physicochemical properties, GO has been extensively used in efforts to construct nanocarriers with high specificity, selectivity, and biocompatibility, and low cytotoxicity. The focus of this review is to summarize and address recent uses of GO-based nanocarriers and the improvements as efficient drug delivery systems. We briefly describe the concepts and challenges associated with nanocarrier systems followed by providing critical examples of GO-based delivery of drug molecules and genes. Finally, the review delivers brief conclusions on the current understanding and prospects of nanocarrier delivery systems.

Abstract
Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acid sequences that can bind to target molecules with high selectivity and affinity. Most aptamers are screened in vitro by a combinatorial biology technique called systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). Since aptamers were discovered in the 1990s, they have attracted considerable attention and have been widely used in many fields owing to their unique advantages. In this review, we present an overview of the advancements made in aptamers used for biosensors and targeted therapy. For the former, we will discuss multiple aptamer-based biosensors with different principles detected by various signaling methods. For the latter, we will focus on aptamer-based targeted therapy using aptamers as both biotechnological tools for targeted drug delivery and as targeted therapeutic agents. Finally, challenges and new perspectives associated with these two regions were further discussed. We hope that this review will help researchers interested in aptamer-related biosensing and targeted therapy research.

Abstract
In this study, a nonaqueous method for the synthesis of size-controlled highly crystalline zinc ferrite/reduced graphene oxide (ZFO/rGO) aerogel was provided by using benzyl alcohol as the medium. In our findings, benzyl alcohol was introduced not only as the solvent, but the structure-directing agent and strong reducing agent during the nucleation and growth of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs). The characterization analysis indicated that ZnFe2O4 NPs were immobilized on the multilayer rGO with a controllable size of 12 nm. Moreover, the 3D ZFO/rGO aerogel shows excellent electrochemical property as a facile electrochemical sensor for the detection of p-nitrophenol (p-NP). The ZFO/rGO electrochemical sensing offers the advantages of wide linear range (1-500 μmol l-1), excellent sensitivity (23.985 mA mM-1 cm-2), good stability and selectivity (<8.8%). In addition, the possible reaction mechanism of 3D ZFO/rGO aerogel was explained during the detection process under acidic condition. Significantly, our results not only provided insight into the possible reaction mechanism of 3D ZFO/rGO nanocomposite, but proposed the way for the synthesis of highly crystalline materials through a benzyl alcohol-mediated method.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive, rapid, and specific method for Ochratoxin A (OTA) detection was designed using complementary sequence to aptamer as a target of molecular beacon (MB). The designed loop structure of the MB has the same sequence as the aptamer with a complementary DNA (cDNA) which translates the level of the target into a measurable response. The presence of the target holds aptamer at the corresponding amount and the additional cDNAs are consumed by unbound aptamers which avails free cDNAs that resulting in fluorescence rising due to unfolding of MBs. Under the optimized conditions, the fluorescence intensity increased linearly with OTA concentration over the range of 10 pg mL-1-1 µg mL-1 with the detection limit of 0.247 pg mL-1. The application of this assay in wheat sample in comparison with HPLC-MS/MS method, demonstrated that the new assay could be a potential sensing platform for OTA detection.

Abstract
Microbial exopolysaccharides are peculiar polymers that are produced by living organisms and protect them against environmental factors. These polymers are industrially recovered from the medium culture after performing a fermentative process. These materials are biocompatible and biodegradable, possessing specific and beneficial properties for biomedical drug delivery systems. They can have antitumor activity, they can produce hydrogels with different characteristics due to their molecular structure and functional groups, and they can even produce nanoparticles via a self-assembly phenomenon. This review studies the potential use of exopolysaccharides as carriers for drug delivery systems, covering their versatility and their vast possibilities to produce particles, fibers, scaffolds, hydrogels, and aerogels with different strategies and methodologies. Moreover, the main properties of exopolysaccharides are explained, providing information to achieve an adequate carrier selection depending on the final application.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) and lentinan have received great attention because of their utility in biomedical applications. Graphene oxide is utilized in drug- and vaccine-delivery systems due to its biocompatibility, large surface area, and outstanding adsorption capability, while lentinan has immunity-enhancing effects. In this study, we synthesized and characterized GO grafted with lentinan (LNT) as an adjuvant and investigated how to impact the immune responses. Lentinan-modified GO (GO-LNT) facilitated antigen uptake in macrophages and improved the efficiency of antigen application in vitro. Furthermore, in vivo, compared with GO/OVA, GO-LNT/OVA decreased the release rate of ovalbumin (OVA) to sustain long-term immune responses and boost the levels of IgG and IgG subtypes. Hence, we can infer that the effects of GO-LNT were a result of the increased amounts of antigen uptake by cells. Overall, our studies demonstrated that GO-LNT could suffice for a safe and effective vaccine-delivery system as well as an excellent adjuvant that both elicits a long-term immune memory response and potentiates cellular and humoral immunity.

Abstract
Nucleolin or C23, is one of the most abundant non-ribosomal phosphoproteins of nucleolus. However, in several cancers, nucleolin is highly expressed both intracellularly and on the cell surface. So, it is considered as a potential target for the diagnosis and cancer therapy. Targeting nucleolin by compounds such as AS1411 aptamer can reduce tumor cell growth. In this regard, interest has increased in nucleolin as a molecular target for overcoming cancer therapy challenges. This review paper addressed recent progresses in nucleolin targeting by the G-rich AS1411 aptamer in the field of cancer therapy mainly over the past three years.

Abstract
The development of hybrid materials, which combine inorganic with organic materials, is receiving increasing attention by researchers. As a consequence of carbon nanostructures high chemical versatility, they exhibit enormous potential for new highly engineered multifunctional nanotherapeutic agents for cancer therapy. Whereas many groups are working on drug delivery systems for chemotherapy, the use of carbon nanohybrids for radiotherapy is rarely applied. Thus, nanotechnology offers a wide range of solutions to overcome the current obstacles of conventional chemo- and/or radiotherapies. Within this review, the structure and properties of carbon nanostructures (carbon nanotubes, nanographene oxide) functionalized preferentially with different types of polymers (synthetic, natural) are discussed. In short, synthesis approaches, toxicity investigations and anticancer efficacy of different carbon nanohybrids are described.

Abstract
Efficient characterization of the physicochemical attributes of bioactive-loaded micro/nano-vehicles is crucial for the successful product development. The introduction of outstanding science-based strategies and techniques makes it possible to realize how the characteristics of the formulation ingredients affect the structural and (bio)functional properties of the final bioactive-loaded carriers. The important points to be solved, at a microscopic level, are investigating how the features of the formulation ingredients affect the morphology, surface, size, dispersity, as well as the particulate interactions within bioactive-comprising nano/micro-delivery systems. This review presents a detailed description concerning the application of advanced microscopy techniques, i.e., confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) in characterizing the attributes of nano/microcarriers for the efficient delivery of bioactive compounds. Furthermore, the fundamental principles of these approaches, instrumentation, specific applications, and the strategy to choose the most proper technique for different carriers has been discussed.

Abstract
The objective of the current study is to design and delivery of targeted PEG-PCL nanopolymersomes encapsulated with Gadolinium based Quantum Dots (QDs) and Doxorubicin (DOX) as magnetic resonance-florescence imaging and anti-cancer agent. Diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency of the prepared theranostic formulation was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Hydrophobic QDs based on indium-copper-gadolinium-zinc sulfide were synthesized and characterized extensively. Hydrophobic QDs and hydrophilic DOX were loaded in PEG-PCL polymersomes through double emulsion method. Drug release pattern was studied in both citrate (pH 5.4) and phosphate (pH 7.4) buffer during 10 days. Both fluorescence and magnetic properties of bare QDs and prepared formulations were studied entirely. AS1411 DNA aptamer was covalently attached to the surface of polymersomal formulation in order to prepare targeted drug delivery system. Cellular cytotoxicity and cellular uptake analysis were performed in both nucleolin positive (MCF7 and 4T1) and nucleolin negative (CHO) cell lines. After in vitro evaluations, anti-tumor efficiency and diagnostic capability of the formulation was investigated in 4T1 tumor baring mice. Scanning emission electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed spherical shape and around 100 nm size of prepared formulations. Transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) showed crystal shape of QDs with size of 2-3 nm. Drug release study obtained controlled release of encapsulated DOX and stability of formulation in physiologic condition. MTT and flow cytometry results demonstrated that AS1411 aptamer could enhance both toxicity and cellular uptake in nucleolin overexpressing cell lines (P < 0.05). Moreover, aptamer targeted formulation could increase survival rate and tumor inhibitory growth effect in 4T1 tumor baring mice (P < 0.05). Our results verify that aptamer targeted polymersomes loaded with non-toxic QDs as a diagnostic agent and DOX as an anti-cancer drug, could provide a theranostic platform with the purpose of optimization of treatment process and minimization of systemic side effects.

In this study synthesis of graphene oxide-poly citric acid/MnCe0.5Fe1.5O4 nanoferrofluid with a simple method and its ability for enhancing the contrast of magnetic resonance images was reported. The co-precipitation method has been used for the production of MnCe0.5Fe1.5O4 nanoparticles with a size distribution of 25-40 nm, which has shown a very good superparamagnetic property with saturation magnetization (Ms) 53.6 emu g-1. Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by a modified Hummers method and polymerized with citric acid to produce GO-PCA. The nanoparticles were loaded on the GO-PCA surface to produce nanoferrofluid that showed excellent colloidal stability, extra dispersibility, and good magnetic properties with Ms equal to 47.8 emu g-1. This nanoferrofluid has an increased effect on the contrast of T2 and T2*-weighted images, with the values 109.15 and 180.23 mM-1 s-1 for r2 and r2*, respectively at 3.0 T. The cellular uptake evaluation revealed adequate uptake for HeLa cell lines.
