Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most severe lethal malignancies, with approximately 1.6 million deaths every year. Lung cancer can be broadly categorised into small and non-small-cell lung cancer. The traditional chemotherapy is nonspecific, destroys healthy cells and produces systemic toxicity; targeted inhalation drug delivery in conjunction with nanoformulations has piqued interest as an approach for improving chemotherapeutic drug activity in the treatment of lung cancer. Our aim is to discuss the impact of polymer and lipid-based nanocarriers (polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, niosomes, nanostructured lipid carriers, etc.) to treat lung cancer via the inhalational route of drug administration. This review also highlights the clinical studies, patent reports and latest investigations related to lung cancer treatment through the pulmonary route. In accordance with the PRISMA guideline, a systematic literature search was carried out for published works between 2005 and 2023. The keywords used were lung cancer, pulmonary delivery, inhalational drug delivery, liposomes in lung cancer, nanotechnology in lung cancer, etc. Several articles were searched, screened, reviewed and included. The analysis demonstrated the potential of polymer and lipid-based nanocarriers to improve the entrapment of drugs, sustained release, enhanced permeability, targeted drug delivery and retention impact in lung tissues. Patents and clinical observations further strengthen the translational potential of these carrier systems for human use in lung cancer. This systematic review demonstrated the potential of pulmonary (inhalational) drug delivery approaches based on nanocarriers for lung cancer therapy.

Abstract
Due to the adjustable hybridization activity, antinuclease digestion stability, and superior endocytosis, spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) have been actively developed as probes for molecular imaging and the development of noninvasive diagnosis and image-guided surgery. However, since highly expressed biomarkers in tumors are not negligible in normal tissues, an inevitable background signal and the inability to precisely release probes at the chosen region remain a challenge for SNAs. Herein, we proposed a rationally designed, endogenous enzyme-activatable functional SNA (Ep-SNA) for spatiotemporally controlled signal amplification molecular imaging and combinational tumor therapy. The self-assembled amphiphilic polymer micelles (SM-ASO), which were obtained by a simple and rapid copper-free strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition click reaction between dibenzocyclooctyne-modified antisense oligonucleotide and azide-containing aliphatic polymer polylactic acid, were introduced as the core elements of Ep-SNA. This Ep-SNA was then constructed by connecting two apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site-containing trailing DNA hairpins, which could occur via a hybridization chain reaction in the presence of low-abundance survivin mRNA to SM-ASO through complementary base pairing. Notably, the AP site-containing trailing DNA hairpins also empowered the SNA with the feasibility of drug delivery. Once this constructed intelligent Ep-SNA nanoprobe was specifically cleaved by the highly expressed cytoplasmic human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 in tumor cells, three key elements (trailing DNA hairpins, antisense oligonucleotide, and doxorubicin) could be released to enable subsequent high-sensitivity survivin mRNA imaging and combinational cancer therapy (gene silencing and chemotherapy). This strategy shows great application prospects of SNAs as a precise platform for the integration of disease diagnosis and treatment and can contribute to basic biomedical research.

Abstract
The relatively low transfection efficiency limits further application of polymeric gene carriers. It is imperative to exploit a universal and simple strategy to enhance the gene transfection efficiency of polymeric gene carriers. Herein, we prepared a cationic polypeptide poly(γ-aminoethylthiopropyl-l-glutamate) (PALG-MEA, termed PM) with a stable α-helical conformation, which can significantly improve the gene transfection efficiency of cationic polymers. PM can be integrated into polymeric gene delivery systems noncovalently through electrostatic interactions. With the assistance of PM, polymeric gene delivery systems exhibited excellent cellular uptake and endosomal escape, thereby enhancing transfection efficiency. The transfection enhancement effect of PM was applicable to a variety of cationic polymers such as polyethylenimine (PEI), poly-l-lysine (PLL), and polyamidoamine (PAMAM). The ternary gene delivery system PM/pshVEGF/PEI exhibited an excellent antitumor effect against the B16F10 tumor model. Moreover, we demonstrated that PM could also enhance the delivery of gene editing systems (sgRNA-Cas9 plasmids). This work provides a facile and effective strategy for constructing polymeric gene delivery systems with a high transfection efficiency.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is a new type of anti-tumor therapy with excellent therapeutic effects and minor side effects. The key factor for photodynamic therapy is highly efficient loading and protection of photosensitizers. Covalent organic framework is a new type of organic porous material with rich sources and has huge development potential in the loading of photosensitizers. However, the π-π interaction between the rigid monomers inevitably causes aggregation and quenching between photosensitizers, which in turn affects the rate of reactive oxygen production. Here, newly designed cationic flexible organic framework nanoparticles (PEI-Por NPs) are synthesized via one-step method with PEI25K and meso-tetra(p-formylphenyl)porphyrin under microwave irradiation. The structure of the flexible organic framework can effectively inhibit the aggregation and quenching of porphyrin. In addition, PEI-Por NPs had excellent gene transfection ability both in vitro and in vivo. Excellent antitumor effect can be achieved by combining PEI-Por NPs' photodynamic therapy capacity and PEI-Por NPs-mediated PD-L1 gene silencing with the guidance of fluorescence imaging and photoacoustic imaging. This cationic flexible organic framework material combines the advantages of flexible building units and rigid monomers, which provides a basis for the development of nano-photosensitizers and excellent gene carriers, and has great potential for clinical application.

Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) can mediate gene-silencing by knocking down the expression of a target gene via cellular machinery with much higher efficiency in contrast to other antisense-based approaches which represents an emerging therapeutic strategy for combating cancer. Distinct characters of nanoparticles, such as distinctive size, are fundamental for the efficient delivery of RNAi therapeutics, allowing for higher targeting and safety. In this review, we present the mechanism of RNAi and briefly describe the hurdles and concerns of RNAi as a cancer treatment approach in systemic delivery. Furthermore, the current nanovectors for effective tumor delivery of RNAi therapeutics are classified, and the characteristics of different nanocarriers are summarized.

Abstract
In this study, a series of hyperbranched copolymers polyethyleneimine-co-polyphenylalanine (PEI-co-PPhe) are synthesized by ring-opening polymerization with phenylalanine-N-carboxyanhydride as monomer and PEI-25k as initiator, using as a gene and drug codelivery carrier. Among them, PEI-co-PPhe (1:170) is selected out from transfection efficiency and cytotoxicity tests. Then, doxorubicin-cis-aconitic anhydride (CAD) and BCl2-shRNA (as a therapeutic gene) are coloaded into the PEI-co-PPhe carrier to form PEI-co-PPhe/Bcl2-shRNA/CAD complexes as a codeliver system. When the mass ratio of PEI-co-PPhe:Bcl2-shRNA:CAD is 5:1:1, the codeliver system has the most obvious synergistic therapeutic effect against B16F10 cells. Confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscope and flow cytometry, compared with drug and gene alone, the codeliver complexes can be endocytosed into B16F10 cells efficiently. As a result, the appropriate length of PPhe grafted on PEI will improve the gene transfer efficiency and decrease cytotoxicity, as well as effective codelivery of gene and drug into cancer cells to be a promising codelivery carrier for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Local delivery of drug to the target organ via inhalation offers enormous benefits in the management of many diseases. Lung cancer is the most common of all cancers and it is the leading cause of death worldwide. Currently available treatment systems (intravenous or oral drug delivery) are not efficient in accumulating the delivered drug into the target tumor cells and are usually associated with various systemic and dose-related adverse effects. The pulmonary drug delivery technology would enable preferential accumulation of drug within the cancer cell and thus be superior to intravenous and oral delivery in reducing cancer cell proliferation and minimising the systemic adverse effects. Site-specific drug delivery via inhalation for the treatment of lung cancer is both feasible and efficient. The inhaled drug delivery system is non-invasive, produces high bioavailability at a low dose and avoids first pass metabolism of the delivered drug. Various anticancer drugs including chemotherapeutics, proteins and genes have been investigated for inhalation in lung cancers with significant outcomes. Pulmonary delivery of drugs from dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulation is stable and has high patient compliance. Herein, we report the potential of pulmonary drug delivery from dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulations inhibiting lung cancer cell proliferation at very low dose with reduced unwanted adverse effects.

Abstract
Developing tumor-responsive diagnosis and therapy strategies for tumor theranostics is still a challenge owing to their high accuracy and specificity. Herein, an AND logic gated-DNA nanodevice, based on the fluorescence nucleic acid probe and polymer-modified MnO2 nanosheets, for glutathione (GSH)-gated miRNA-21 signal amplification and GSH-activated magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is reported. In the presence of overexpressed miRNA and GSH (tumor cells), the nanodevice can be in situ activated and release significantly amplified fluorescence signals and MR signals. Conversely, the fluorescence signal is quenched and MR signal remains at the background level with low miRNA and GSH (normal cells), efficiently reducing the false-positive signals by more than 50%. Under the guide of miRNA profiling and MR imaging, the tumor-responsive hydroxyl radical (·OH) can effectively kill tumor cells. Furthermore, the nanodevice shows catalase-like activity and glucose oxidase-like activity with the performance of O2 production and glucose consumption. This is the first time to fabricate a tumor-responsive theranostic DNA nanodevice with tumor-specific signal amplification of microRNA and GSH-activated MR imaging for CDT, potential hypoxia relief and starvation therapy, which provides a new insight for designing smart theranostic strategies.

Abstract
Oncogenic microRNAs are essential components in regulating the gene expression of cancer cells. Especially miR21, which is a major player involved of tumor initiation, progression, invasion and metastasis in several cancers. The delivery of anti-miR21 sequences has significant potential for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, since anti-miR21 sequences are extremely unstable and they need to obtain certain concentration to function, it is intensely difficult to build an effective delivery system for them. The purpose of this work is to construct a self-assembled glutathione (GSH)-responsive system with tumor accumulation capacity for effective anti-miR21 delivery and cancer therapy. A novel drug delivery nanosphere carrying millions of anti-miR21 sequences was developed through the rolling circle transcription (RCT) method. GSH-responsive cationic polymer polyethyleneimine (pOEI) was synthesized to protect the nanosphere from degradation by Dicer or other RNase in normal cells and optimize the pompon-like nanoparticle to suitable size. Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), a targeting molecule, which is a substrate of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT 1) and highly expressed on malignant tumor cells, was connected to pOEI through PEG, and then the polymer was used for contracting a RNA nanospheres into nanopompons. The anti-miR21 nanopompons showed its potential for effective cancer therapy.

Int J Pharm 2019; 567:118485. [PMID: 31260781 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2019.118485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2019] [Revised: 06/25/2019] [Accepted: 06/28/2019] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Glioblastoma is a grade IV malignant glioma with high recurrence and metastasis and faces a therapeutic obstacle that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) severely hinders the brain entry and efficacy of therapeutic drugs. Previous studies suggest that borneol (BO) has been used to enhance interested drugs to penetrate the BBB. In this study, a borneol-modified nanomicelle delivery system was established to facilitate the brain entry of doxorubicin for glioblastoma therapy. Herein, we firstly conjugated borneol molecules with DSPE-PEG2000-COOH to synthesize a novel carrier DSPE-PEG2000-BO and also characterized its structure. Doxorubicin-loaded nanomicelles (DOX BO-PMs) were prepared using DSPE-PEG2000-BO via electrostatic interaction and the physicochemical properties were investigated. The average particle size and zeta potential of DOX BO-PMs were respectively (14.95 ± 0.17)nm and (-1.27 ± 0.06)mV, and the drug encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity in DOX BO-PMs were (95.69 ± 0.49)% and (14.62 ± 0.39)%, respectively. The drug release of the DOX BO-PMs exhibited a both time- and pH-dependent pattern. The results demonstrated that DOX BO-PMs significantly enhanced the transport efficiency of DOX across the BBB and also exhibited a quick accumulation in the brain tissues. The in vitro anti-proliferation assay results suggested that DOX BO-PMs exerted a strong inhibitory effect on proliferation of glioblastoma cells. Importantly, in vivo antitumor results demonstrated that DOX BO-PMs significantly inhibited the tumor growth and metastasis of glioblastoma. In conclusion, DOX BO-PMs can improve the glioblastoma therapeutic outcomes and become a promising nanodrug candidate for the application of doxorubicin in the field of glioblastoma therapy.

Abstract
In this review, we focus on strategies for designing functional nano gene carriers, as well as choosing therapeutic genes targeting the tumor microenvironment. Gene mutations have a great impact on the occurrence of cancer. Thus, gene therapy plays a major role in cancer therapy and has the potential to cure cancer. Well-designed gene therapy largely relies on effective gene carriers, which can be divided into viral carriers and non-viral carriers. A gene carrier delivers functional genes to their intracellular target and avoids nucleic acids being degraded by nucleases in the serum. Most conventional cancer gene therapies only target cancer cells and do not appear to be sufficintly efficient to pass clinical trials. Accumulating evidence has shown that extending the therapeutic strategies to the tumor microenvironment, rather than the tumor cell itself, can allow more options for achieving robust anti-cancer efficiency. In addition, unusual features between tumor microenvironment and normal tissues, such as a lower pH, higher glutathione and reactive oxygen species concentrations, and overexpression of some enzymes, facilitate the design of smart stimuli-responsive gene carriers regulated by the tumor microenvironment. These carriers interact with nucleic acids and then form stable nanoparticles under physiological conditions. By regulation of the tumor microenvironment, stimuli-responsive gene carriers are able to change their properties and achieve high gene delivery efficiency. Considering the tumor microenvironment as the "regulator" and "target" when designing gene carriers and choosing therapeutic genes shows significant benefit with respect to improving the accuracy and efficiency of cancer gene therapy.

Abstract
In the past 10 years, with the increase of investment in clinical nano-gene therapy, there are many trials that have been discontinued due to poor efficacy and serious side effects. Therefore, it is particularly important to design a suitable gene delivery system. In this paper, we introduce the application of liposomes, polymers, and inorganics in gene delivery; also, different modifications with some stimuli-responsive systems can effectively improve the efficiency of gene delivery and reduce cytotoxicity and other side effects. Besides, the co-delivery of chemotherapy drugs with a drug tolerance-related gene or oncogene provides a better theoretical basis for clinical cancer gene therapy.

Abstract
Despite advances in cancer therapy, effective local treatment remains a formidable challenge due to the limit of efficient drug delivery method and the toxicity of chemotherapeutics. In the current study, a combined system was developed for simultaneous delivering doxorubicin (DOX) and cis-platinum (CDDP) to the lungs via pulmonary administration. Methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ethylenimine)-poly(l-glutamate) (mPEG-OEI-PLG) copolymers were synthesized as a carrier for the co-delivery of DOX and CDDP. The co-delivery nanoparticles (Co-NPs) were formed with mPEG-OEI-PLG via electrostatic interactions for DOX loading and chelate interactions for CDDP loading, respectively. The results of in vitro cytotoxicity assays against B16F10 cell line showed that Co-NPs exhibited higher cytotoxicity than those treated with either DOX or CDDP alone. In the B16F10 tumor-bearing mice models, local delivery of Co-NPs by pulmonary administration demonstrated that Co-NPs had highly efficient accumulation in the lungs, especially in the tumor tissues of the lungs, but rarely in normal lung tissues. Moreover, Co-NPs exhibited higher anti-tumor efficiency for metastatic lung cancer than that in the single treatment of DOX or CDDP, while no obvious side effects were observed during the pulmonary treatment. The present pulmonary delivery by exploiting co-loaded nanoparticles was proved to be a promising drug delivery strategy for effective lung cancer therapy.

Abstract
Tannic acid, a hydrolysable tannin, exists commonly in food plants. Tannic acid has already been shown various anticancer mechanisms such as inhibiting the proliferation, inducing a higher apoptotic rate and slowing down the metastasis of different cancers. Moreover, tannic acid was reported to reduce the side effects caused by chemotherapeutics on patients. But whether the tannic acid can improve the treatment of oxaliplatin on colorectal carcinomatosis has yet been studied. In this study, we developed an injectable drug delivery system by physical incorporation of oxaliplatin (OXA) and tannic acid (TA) polymeric nanoparticles (OXA/TA NPs) into a thermo-sensitive hydrogel, OXA/TA NPs-hydrogel (OXA/TA NPs-H). The OXA/TA NPs-H was injected into the peritoneal cavity for the treatment of colorectal peritoneal carcinoma. Firstly, a water-in-oil-in-water double-emulsion (w/o/w) method and solvent-evaporation procedure were used in the preparation of the biodegradable OXA/TA NPs. Then, we prepared the biodegradable thermo-sensitive poly(3-caprolactone) (PCL)-10R5-PCL (PCLR) hydrogel with a low critical solution temperature (LCST) which undergoes gelation process at body temperature. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed the spherical profile of OXA/TA NPs. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra demonstrated that OXA and TA were both encapsulated into the OXA/TA NPs. In this study, intraperitoneal application of OXA/TA NPs-H restricted the growth of CT26 peritoneal colon cancer in vivo, improved the quality of life and prolonged the survival time of the model mice. Our study suggested that OXA/TA NPs-H might have potential application in the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a highly invasive and prevalent disease with ineffective first-line treatment and remains the leading cause of cancer death in men and women. Despite the improvements in diagnosis and therapy, the prognosis and outcome of lung cancer patients is still poor. This could be associated with the lack of effective first-line oncology drugs, formation of resistant tumors and non-optimal administration route. Therefore, the repurposing of existing drugs currently used for different indications and the introduction of a different method of drug administration could be investigated as an alternative to improve lung cancer therapy. This review describes the rationale and development of repositioning of drugs for lung cancer treatment with emphasis on inhalation. The review includes the current progress of repurposing non-cancer drugs, as well as current chemotherapeutics for lung malignancies via inhalation. Several potential non-cancer drugs such as statins, itraconazole and clarithromycin, that have demonstrated preclinical anti-cancer activity, are also presented. Furthermore, the potential challenges and limitations that might hamper the clinical translation of repurposed oncology drugs are described.
