Holmium (III)-doped multifunctional nanotheranostic agent for ultra-high-field magnetic resonance imaging-guided chemo-photothermal tumor therapy. Acta Biomater 2023; 172:454-465. [PMID: 37863345 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.10.017] [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: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023]
Abstract
Ultra-high-field (UHF) MRI has shown great advantages over low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Despite being the most commonly used MRI contrast agents, gadolinium chelates perform poorly in high magnetic fields, which significantly weakens their T1 intensity. In comparison, the rare element Holmium (Ho)-based nanoparticles (NPs) have demonstrated great potential as T2-weighted MRI contrast agents in UHF MRI due to their extremely short electron relaxation times (∼ 10-13s). In this study, a multifunctional nanotherapeutic probe was designed for UHF MRI-guided chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. The Ho (III)-doped mesoporous polydopamine (Ho-MPDA, HM) nanosphere was loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug mitoxantrone (MTO) and then coated with 4T1 cell membranes to enhance active targeting delivery to breast cancer. The prepared nanotherapeutic probe MTO@HMM@4T1 (HMM@T) exhibited good biocompatibility, high drug-loading capability and great potential as Ho (III)-based UHF MRI contrast agents. Moreover, the biodegradation of HMM@T in response to the intratumor pH and glutathione (GSH) promotes MTO release. Near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation of HM induced photothermal therapy and further enhanced drug release. Consequently, HMM@T effectively acted as an MRI-guided tumor-targeting chemo-photothermal therapy against 4T1 breast cancer. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Ultra-high-field (UHF) MRI has shown great advantages over low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although gadolinium chelates are the most commonly used MRI contrast agents in clinical practice, they exhibit a significantly decreased T1 relaxivity at UHF. Holmium exhibits outstanding UHF magnetic resonance capabilities in comparison with gadolinium chelates currently used in clinic. Herein, a theranostic nanodrug (HMM@T) was designed for UHF MRI-guided chemo-photothermal therapy. The nanodrug possessed remarkable UHF T2 MRI properties (r2 = 152.13 mM-1s-1) and high drug loading capability of 18.4 %. The biodegradation of HMM@T NPs under triple stimulations of pH, GSH, and NIR led to an efficient release of MTO in tumor microenvironment. Our results revealed the potential of a novel UHF MRI-guided multifunctional nanosystem in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Anthracenes are aromatic compounds with flexible structure and reactivity which are of great interest to theoretical and experimental chemists. Theoretical investigations of 1,4-dihydroxy-5,8-bis[2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethylamino]anthracene-9,10-dione (Mitoxantrone) (DDEA) based on density functional theory, molecular dynamics and adsorption on fullerene are reported in the present research. The suitable situation for adsorption with fullerene (C60) is the cyclohex-2-ene-1,4-dione ring of DDEA. Selected quantum-molecular descriptors have been calculated to predict the most reactive sites of the DDEA molecule. Interactions of DDEA with water have been studied using MD simulations. MD simulations were also used to study solubility parameter, a significant quantity for the development of pharmaceutical formulations. The affinity of DDEA on human dihydrofolate reductase and deoxyuridine triphosphatase enzymes was investigated by MD simulation of the protein-ligand complex obtained by molecular docking study.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Interceptor potential of C 60 fullerene aqueous solution: a comparative analysis using the example of the antitumor antibiotic mitoxantrone. EUROPEAN BIOPHYSICS JOURNAL : EBJ 2022; 51:297-307.

Abstract
We performed a qualitative and quantitative analysis of intermolecular interactions in aqueous solution between the antitumor antibiotic mitoxantrone and C60 fullerene in comparison with interactions between the antibiotic and well-known aromatic molecules such as caffeine and flavin mononucleotide, commonly referred to as interceptor molecules. For these purposes, we obtained equilibrium hetero-association constants of these interactions using a UV/Vis titration experiment. Special attention was paid to the interaction of C60 fullerene with mitoxantrone, which has been quantified for the first time. Based on the theory of interceptor-protector action and using a set of measured equilibrium constants we managed to estimate the relative biological effect of these mixtures in a model living system, taking human buccal epithelium cells as an example. We demonstrated that C60 fullerene is able to restore the functional activity of the buccal epithelium cell nucleus after exposure to mitoxantrone, which makes it possible to use C60 fullerene as regulator of medico-biological activity of the antibiotic.

Abstract
Mitoxantrone (MTX), one representative of anthraquinone ring anticancer drugs, reveals excellent anticancer effects in acute leukemia. Though current studies have shown that MTX-induced acute leukemia cell apoptosis is implemented by inserting into DNA, and then leading to DNA breakage and the subsequent transcription termination, but the specific location information of MTX embedded in DNA remains unknown. In this study, combining surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and principal component analysis (PCA), we achieve the biochemical changes of MTX-induced Jurkat cell apoptosis and the location information of MTX embedded in DNA. In contrast, we also present the corresponding result of Daunorubicin (DNR)-induced Jurkat cell apoptosis. It is found that the location of MTX embedded in DNA of Jurkat cell is different from DNR, in which the action site of MTX is mainly implemented by blocking and destroying AT base pairs while DNR is performed by embedding and destroying GC base pairs and then the base A. Clearly, this achieved information is very useful for the designing and modification of anthraquinone ring anticancer drugs.
