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] [MESH Headings] [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
As a form of dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD) suffers from no efficacious cure, yet AD treatment is still imperative, as it ameliorates the symptoms or prevents it from deteriorating or maintains the current status to the longest extent. The human brain is the most sensitive and complex organ in the body, which is protected by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This yet induces the difficulty in curing AD as the drugs or nanomaterials that are much inhibited from reaching the lesion site. Thus, BBB crossing capability of drug delivery system remains a significant challenge in the development of neurological therapeutics. Fortunately, nano-enabled delivery systems possess promising potential to achieve multifunctional diagnostics/therapeutics against various targets of AD owing to their intriguing advantages of nanocarriers, including easy multifunctionalization on surfaces, high surface-to-volume ratio with large payloads, and potential ability to cross the BBB, making them capable of conquering the limitations of conventional drug candidates. This review, which focuses on the BBB crossing ability of the multifunctional nanomaterials in AD diagnosis and treatment, will provide an insightful vision that is conducive to the development of AD-related nanomaterials.

Abstract
A tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive nanoprobe composed of a fluorescent dye-decorated silicon (Si) nanosphere core and a thin MnO2 shell is proposed for simple and intelligent detection of cancer cells. The Si nanosphere core with diameters of 100-200 nm provides environment-independent Mie scattering imaging, while, simultaneously, the MnO2 shell provides the capability to switch the on/off state of the dye fluorescence reacted to the glutathione (GSH) and/or H2O2 levels in a cancer cell. Si-MnO2 core-shell nanosphere probes are fabricated in a solution-based process from crystalline Si nanosphere cores. The fluorescence switching under exposure to GSH is demonstrated, and the mechanism is discussed based on detailed optical characterizations including single-particle spectroscopy. Different types of human cells are incubated with the nanoprobes, and a proof of concept experiment is performed. From the combination of the robust scattering images and GSH- and H2O2-sensitive fluorescence images, the feasibility of cancer cell detection by the multimodal nanoprobes is demonstrated.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) is considered as a promising drug carrier material suitable for the tumor microenvironment while lacking conducive structures for drug loading. Herein, we construct a MnO2 nanoplatform with a hollow rhombic dodecahedral morphology for drug delivery. In this work, we obtained zeolitic imidazolate framework nanoparticles (ZIF-90 NPs) via a coordination reaction. Furthermore, the drug-loading nanoparticles (ZIF-90/DOX NPs) were obtained by Schiff's base reaction and then selected as a sacrificial template to obtain the hollow nanoplatforms (ZIF-90@MnO2 NPs). Moreover, the photothermal effect and multiresponsive drug release behaviors were revealed by loading the photothermal agent IR-820 and the anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). Our study demonstrates that the ZIF-90@MnO2 NPs loaded with photosensitizers exhibited excellent photothermal conversion performance. Benefiting from the hollow structure and redox activity, remarkable drug loading and release performances of ZIF-90@MnO2 NPs were achieved. It is shown that ZIF-90@MnO2 NPs achieved a satisfactory drug-loading efficiency (up to ca. 69.7%) for DOX. More promisingly, the ZIF-90@MnO2 NPs exhibited significant glutathione (GSH)/pH-responsive drug release and degradation performances. Overall, this work highlights the potential of controlled drug release of nanocarriers and offers unique insights into the design of nanocarriers with hollow structures.

Abstract
A core-shell-structured Cu2 O@Mn3 Cu3 O8 (CMCO) nanozyme is constructed to serve as a tumor microenvironment (TME)-activated copper ionophore to achieve safe and efficient cuproptosis. The Mn3 Cu3 O8 shell not only prevents exposure of normal tissues to the Cu2 O core to reduce systemic toxicity but also exhibits enhanced enzyme-mimicking activity owing to the better band continuity near the Fermi surface. The glutathione oxidase (GSHOx)-like activity of CMCO depletes glutathione (GSH), which diminishes the ability to chelate Cu ions, thereby exerting Cu toxicity and inducing cuproptosis in cancer cells. The catalase (CAT)-like activity catalyzes the overexpressed H2 O2 in the TME, thereby generating O2 in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle to enhance cuproptosis. More importantly, the Fenton-like reaction based on the release of Mn ions and the inactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4 induced by the elimination of GSH results in ferroptosis, accompanied by the accumulation of lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species that can cleave stress-induced heat shock proteins to compromise their protective capacity of cancer cells and further sensitize cuproptosis. CMCO nanozymes are partially sulfurized by hydrogen sulfide in the colorectal TME, exhibiting excellent photothermal properties and enzyme-mimicking activity. The mild photothermal effect enhances the enzyme-mimicking activity of the CMCO nanozymes, thus inducing high-efficiency ferroptosis-boosted-cuproptosis.

Abstract
Hydrogels can offer many opportunities for drug delivery strategies. They can be used on their own, or their benefits can be further exploited in combination with other nanocarriers. Intelligent hydrogels that react to changes in the surrounding environment can be utilized as gatekeepers and provide sustained on-demand drug release. In this study, a hybrid nanosystem for temperature- and pH-sensitive delivery was prepared from MCM-41 nanoparticles grafted with a newly synthesized thermosensitive hydrogel (MCM-41/AA-g-PnVCL). The initial particles were chemically modified by the attachment of carboxyl groups. Later, they were grafted with agar (AA) and vinylcaprolactam (VCL) by free radical polymerization. Doxorubicin was applied as a model hydrophilic chemotherapeutic drug. The successful formulation was confirmed by FT-IR and TGA. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering analysis showed small particles with negative zeta potential. Their release behaviour was investigated in vitro in media with different pH and at different temperatures. Under tumour simulating conditions (40 °C and pH 4.0), doxorubicin was almost completely released within 72 h. The biocompatibility of the proposed nanoparticles was demonstrated by in vitro haemolysis assay. These results suggest the possible parenteral application of the newly prepared hydrogel-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles for temperature-sensitive and pH-triggered drug delivery at the tumour site.

Bovine serum albumin-based and dual-responsive targeted hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles for breast cancer therapy. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 224:113201.

Abstract
Combination therapy is an effective way to alleviate the shortcoming of monotherapy and enhances therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a distinctive hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticle (HMSNs) encapsulated with folic acid-modified bovine serum albumin (BSA-FA), denoted as HBF, was engineered for tumor targeting and dual-responsive release of loaded-therapeutic agents MD (methylene blue (MB) and doxorubicin (DOX)). The BSA molecule as a ''gatekeeper'' prevents premature drug leakage and actively unloads the cargos through BSA detachment in response to intracellular glutathione (GSH). Folic acid (FA) promotes the specific intracellular delivery of the drug to folate receptor (FR)-expressing cancer cells to improve the efficacy of chemo-photodynamic therapy (PDT). In vitro drug release profiles showed that the drug carrier could achieve pH/redox-responsive drug release from MD@HBF owing to the cleavage of the imine bonds between HMSNs-CHO and BSA-FA and BSA intramolecular disulfide bond. Additionally, a series of biological evaluations, such as cell uptake experiments, toxicity experiments, and in vivo therapeutic assays indicated that MD@HBF possesses the features of accurately targeting FR-expressing 4T1 cells to induce cells apoptosis in vitro, exhibits outstanding tumor cell synergistic killing efficiency of chemo-photodynamic therapy (combination index CI = 0.325), and inhibits tumors growth. These results demonstrated that the strategy of combining HMSNs with stimuli-responsive biodegradable protein molecules could provide a new potential direction toward the ''on-demand'' drug release for precision chemo-photodynamic therapy in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Scientists have been attempting to improve the properties of mesoporous materials and expand their application since the 1990s, and the combination with hydrogels, macromolecular biological materials, is one of the research focuses currently. Uniform mesoporous structure, high specific surface area, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability make the combined use of mesoporous materials more suitable for the sustained release of loaded drugs than single hydrogels. As a joint result, they can achieve tumor targeting, tumor environment stimulation responsiveness, and multiple therapeutic platforms such as photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy. Due to the photothermal conversion ability, mesoporous materials can significantly improve the antibacterial ability of hydrogels and offer a novel photocatalytic antibacterial mode. In bone repair systems, mesoporous materials remarkably strengthen the mineralization and mechanical properties of hydrogels, aside from being used as drug carriers to load and release various bioactivators to promote osteogenesis. In hemostasis, mesoporous materials greatly elevate the water absorption rate of hydrogels, enhance the mechanical strength of the blood clot, and dramatically shorten the bleeding time. As for wound healing and tissue regeneration, incorporating mesoporous materials can be promising for enhancing vessel formation and cell proliferation of hydrogels. In this paper, we introduce the classification and preparation methods of mesoporous material-loaded composite hydrogels and highlight the applications of composite hydrogels in drug delivery, tumor therapy, antibacterial treatment, osteogenesis, hemostasis, and wound healing. We also summarize the latest research progress and point out future research directions. After searching, no research reporting these contents was found.

Immunomodulatory activity of manganese dioxide nanoparticles: Promising for novel vaccines and immunotherapeutics. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1128840. [PMID: 36926351 PMCID: PMC10011163 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1128840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Manganese (Mn), a nutrient inorganic trace element, is necessary for a variety of physiological processes of animal body due to their important roles in oxidative regulation effects and other aspects of activities. Moreover, manganese ion (Mn2+) has widely reported to be crucial for the regulations of different immunological responses, thus showing promising application as potential adjuvants and immunotherapeutics. Taking the advantages of Mn-based biological and immunological activities, Manganese dioxide nanoparticles (MnO2 NPs) are a new type of inorganic nanomaterials with numerous advantages, including simple preparation, low cost, environmental friendliness, low toxicity, biodegradable metabolism and high bioavailability. MnO2 NPs, as a kind of drug carrier, have also shown the ability to catalyze hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce oxygen (O2) under acidic conditions, which can enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other therapeutics for tumor treatment by remodeling the tumor microenvironment. More importantly, MnO2 NPs also play important roles in immune regulations both in innate and adaptive immunity. In this review, we summarize the biological activities of Manganese, followed by the introduction for the biological and medical functions and mechanisms of MnO2 NPs. What's more, we emphatically discussed the immunological regulation effects and mechanisms of MnO2 NPs, as well as their potentials to serve as adjuvants and immunomodulators, which might benefit the development of novel vaccines and immunotherapies for more effective disease control.

Zhang Y, Zou Z, Liu S, Miao S, Liu H. Nanogels as Novel Nanocarrier Systems for Efficient Delivery of CNS Therapeutics. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:954470. [PMID: 35928954 PMCID: PMC9343834 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.954470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Nanogels have come out as a great potential drug delivery platform due to its prominently high colloidal stability, high drug loading, core-shell structure, good permeation property and can be responsive to environmental stimuli. Such nanoscopic drug carriers have more excellent abilities over conventional nanomaterials for permeating to brain parenchyma in vitro and in vivo. Nanogel-based system can be nanoengineered to bypass physiological barriers via non-invasive treatment, rendering it a most suitable platform for the management of neurological conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders, brain tumors, epilepsy and ischemic stroke, etc. Therapeutics of central nervous system (CNS) diseases have shown marked limited site-specific delivery of CNS by the poor access of various drugs into the brain, due to the presences of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB). Hence, the availability of therapeutics delivery strategies is considered as one of the most major challenges facing the treatment of CNS diseases. The primary objective of this review is to elaborate the newer advances of nanogel for CNS drugs delivery, discuss the early preclinical success in the field of nanogel technology and highlight different insights on its potential neurotoxicity.
