Abstract
At present, targeted drug delivery is regarded as the most effective means of tumor treatment, overcoming the lack of conventional chemotherapeutics that are difficult to reach or enter into cancer cells. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is the main component of biological hard tissue, which can be regarded as a suitable drug carrier due to its biocompatibility, nontoxicity, biodegradation, and absorbability. This review focuses on the cutting edge of HAP as a drug carrier in targeted drug delivery systems. HAP-based carriers can be obtained by doping, modification, and combination, which benefit to improve the loading efficiency of drugs and the response sensitivity of the microenvironment in the synthesis process. The drug adsorbed or in situ loaded on HAP-based carriers can achieve targeted drug delivery and precise treatment through the guidance of the in vivo microenvironment and the stimulation of the in vitro response. In addition, HAP-based drug carriers can improve the cellular uptake rate of drugs to achieve a higher treatment effect. These advantages revealed the promising potential of HAP-based carriers from the perspective of targeted drug delivery for tumor treatment.

Abstract
In this study, biodegradable and thermosensitive F127 hydrogel containing folic acid.MgO:ZnO/chitosan hybrid particles (FMZC) was fabricated as a 3D mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) delivery vehicle for regenerative medicine and wound healing purposes, in such a way to be responsive to lysozyme and UVA irradiation. The results showed that F127 hydrogel containing FMZC is a suitable and nontoxic construct for encapsulation of MSCs in the presence of lysozyme and UVA irradiation, bearing high stem cell viability and proliferation. The final hydrogel, MSC&FMZC, in response to lysozyme induced a higher proliferation rate and migration in human foreskin fibroblast cells (HFF). These phenomena were attributed to the released F.MgO:ZnO nanocomposites from chitosan microparticles and paracrine factors from MSCs within the hydrogel, resulting in synergistic biological effects. Moreover, lysozyme-treated MSC&FMZC hydrogel showed higher antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria than bare hydrogel. However, a significant increase in the antibacterial activity of MSC&FMZC was observed as the treated bacteria were subjected to UVA irradiation owing to the photocatalytic activity of F.MgO:ZnO nanocomposites. Regarding the antibacterial activity and stimulating skin cell behavior of MSC&FMZC hydrogel that can promote the regenerative activities of skin, it could be considered as a promising scaffold for bacteria-accompanied wound healing.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the pharmacological profiles of multiple chemo drug candidates in systematic circulation to enhance their specific interactions with five human cancer cell lines. ZnO nanoparticles were successfully bound with chemo drugs via physical adsorption. The drug loading capacity was confirmed by FTIR, whereas the loading efficiency was determined via UV-vis spectrometry. The mean hydrodynamic size increased to 69-82 nm after chemo-drug immobilization via non-covalent interaction with ZnO. Among the nine formulated chemo drugs, the carboplatin (CP)-doxorubicin (DOX)-ZnO complex under UV light irradiation exhibited high sensitivity towards human breast adenocarcinoma cells without affecting human keratinocyte immortal cells with an IC50 of 0.137 µg/mL, whereas the loading capacity and efficiency of CP-DOX-ZnO were 77.81% and 99.05%, respectively. Fluorescence images confirmed that CP-DOX-ZnO using DOX served as a fluorescence enhancer specifically bound onto the cell membranes, which became almost saturated after 24 h incubation. Carboplatin-DOX-ZnO was possibly endocytosed by cancer cells and was selectively internalized into the target cells; thus, free chemo drug was released in the cytoplasm, which induced acute apoptosis. This resulted in complete inhabitation of growth signal of target cancer cells.

Abstract
Zinc is a trace element in human body involved in many biological processes. It is critical for cell growth and acts as a cofactor for the structure and function of a wide range of cellular proteins such as enzymes. Mounting evidence has shown the involvement of intracellular zinc in the bone-related biological processes such as bone growth, homeostasis, and regeneration; however, the molecular mechanism(s) whereby zinc impels tumorigenesis in bone remains largely unexplored. In this article, selective outline related to the content of intracellular zinc in osteosarcoma cells was provided, and its correlation with signaling molecules that are activated and consequently guide the cells toward tumorigenesis or osteogenesis was discussed. Based on preclinical and clinical evidence, dysregulation of zinc homeostasis, both at intracellular and tissue level, has the main role in the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma. Based on the intracellular zinc content, this element could have a direct role in the dynamics of bone cell transformation and tumor development and play an indirect role in the modulation of the inflammatory and pro/antitumorigenic responses in immune cells. In this context, zinc transporters and the proteins containing zinc domain are regulated by the availability of zinc, playing a crucial role in bone cell transformation and differentiation. According to recent studies, it seems that intracellular zinc levels could be considered as an early prognosis marker. Besides, identification and targeting of zinc-dependent signaling molecules could tilt the balance of life and death toward the latter in chemoresistant malignant cells and may pave a way for designing of the novel osteosarcoma treatment strategies.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is extensively used for implantable device coating; however, it lacks antibacterial property, leading to potential bacterial infection during orthopedic implantation surgery. Herein, to enhance the antibacterial activity of HA, a redox- and pH-responsive HA nanocomposite with photocatalytic activity was designed. A photosensitive heterostructure, zinc oxide/hydroxyapatite (ZnO.HA), was coated with Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) with assisted gallic acid using the UV-irradiation method. An antibacterial enzyme, lysozyme, was then conjugated on the surface of the nanocomposite by a cleavable disulfide linker, resulting in a redox-sensitive nanoplatform. In comparison with bare HA, the designed nanocomposites as Lyso.CAGZ@HA displayed much higher antibacterial activity (> 5-fold) toward Escherichia coli (E. coli) owing to the synergistic antibacterial effects of ZnONPs, AgNPs, gallic acid, and lysozyme on the surface of the nanocomposite. However, antibacterial and antifouling effects are much more enhanced in Lyso.CAGZ@HA-treated bacteria as they were subjected to UVA irradiation. Moreover, the cellular uptake of nanocomposite and intracellular glutathione depletion enhanced in the presence of UVA light, resulting in reactive oxygen specious generation enhancement. Further, in vitro cytotoxicity experiments on mammalian cells (human foreskin fibroblast) revealed that nanocomposite has no cytotoxic effects. Hence, this study demonstrated that Lyso.CAGZ@HA could be considered as a potential therapeutic approach against bacterial infectious diseases.

Abstract
This study aimed to improve the biocompatibility and osteogenic property of hydroxyapatite (HAP). So HAP nanoparticles were doped with zinc (Zn), and their surface was modified with a purine nucleotide, guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP). GTP-loaded nanoparticles (GTP@ZnHAP) were characterised by field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, thermogravimetric analysis, zeta potential and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. Biological experiments revealed that GTP@ZnHAP nanoparticles were internalised by the cells, inhibiting tumour cell (osteoblast-like cells, Saos-2) expansion with an efficiency more than that observed for ZnHAP nanoparticles and GTP alone. Furthermore, Saos-2 cells were committed to differentiate into the normal osteoblast cells under the influence of GTP@ZnHAP nanoparticles demonstrated by the quantitative assessment of bone-related protein expression (Runx2 and osteocalcin) and cell morphological changes. Moreover, high-performance liquid chromatography analyses disclosed a significant enhancement of intracellular GTP content in GTP@ZnHAP-treated cells, proposing perturbation of intracellular nucleotide equilibrium during the process of osteogenesis induced by GTP@ZnHAP nanoparticles. Overall, GTP@ZnHAP exhibits a better synergistic effect on the modulation of cell growth and induction of osteogenic differentiation in osteosarcoma cells than ZnHAP nanoparticles and GTP alone do. Therefore, GTP@ZnHAP may be regarded as a promising biomaterial for the treatment of bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is highly malignant and invasive, and current treatments are limited due to serious side effects and unsatisfactory outcomes. Here, we reported the terbium ion-doped hydroxyapatite (HATb) nanoparticle as a luminescent probe to encapsulate both the near-infrared (NIR) photothermal agent polydopamine (PDA) and anticancer doxorubicin (DOX) for imaging-guided chemo-photothermal therapy. The morphology, crystal structure, fluorescence, and composition of HATb-PDA-DOX were characterized. HATb-PDA showed a high DOX loading capacity. A theranostic nanoplatform showed pH/NIR responsive release properties and better antitumor outcomes in OSCC cells than monomodal chemotherapy or photothermal therapy, while keeping side effects at a minimum. Also, the luminescence signal was confirmed to be tracked and the increase of the red/green (R/G) ratio caused by the DOX release could be used to monitor the DOX release content. Furthermore, HATb-PDA-DOX plus NIR treatment synergistically promoted in vitro cell death through the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), cell cycle arrest, and increased cell apoptosis. Overall, this work presents an innovative strategy in designing a multifunctional nano-system for imaging-guided cancer treatment.

JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2020; 31:114. [PMID: 33247350 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-020-06450-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2020] [Revised: 07/22/2020] [Accepted: 10/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Titanium (Ti) has been widely used for medical and dental applications; however, bare Ti cannot be properly connected to a living bone, and hence some modifications are needed for this purpose. The present study describes the synthesis of mesoporous hydroxyapatite thin films (MHF) on titanium implant materials for speeding up and shortening the processes of osteointegration. The uniform MHF was coated on a Ti substrate following the insertion of intermediate titania (TiO2) film via the sol-gel dip-coating method. The intermediate titania layer improved the bonding strength between the MHF and Ti substrate. MHFs were synthesized using a precursor solution containing phosphoric acid, calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, and a nonionic surfactant (C12E10) as the phosphate source, calcium source, and structure-directing agent, respectively. The effect of calcination temperature on phase composition, morphology, microstructure, roughness, and wettability of the MHFs was investigated using XRD, FE-SEM, COM, AFM, and contact angle measurement. The XRD results revealed the crystalline hydroxyapatite phase, which was improved with an increase in the calcination temperature. Moreover, the FE-SEM images showed the crack-free MHFs, uniform thickness of the layer, and mesoporous surface morphology. In addition, it was found that the roughness and wettability of the samples change upon the alteration of calcination temperature. The biological studies demonstrated that MHFs support the adhesion and proliferation of the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and guid them toward osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, the MHFs prepared in this study may be useful in a wide range of applications, particularly in bone regeneration medicine.
