Abstract
The inflammatory response is one of the general symptoms that accompany tumorigenesis, the pro-inflammatory factors cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and COX-2-derived prostaglandin-2 (PGE-2) in the inflammatory environment surrounding tumors possess promoting tumor development, metastasis and angiogenesis effects. In addition, the hypoxic environment of tumors severely limits the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this study, a universal extracellular-intracellular 'on-demand' release nanomedicine DOX@PDA-ICG@MnO2@GN-CEL was developed for the combined fight against malignant tumors using a spatiotemporal controlled gelatin coated polydopamine (PDA@GN) as the carrier and loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX), the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG), the PDT enhancer MnO2and the anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib (CEL) individually. Our results showed that DOX@PDA-ICG@MnO2@GN-CEL could release CEL extracellularly by matrix metalloproteinase-2 response and inhibit the COX-2/PGE-2 pathway, reduce chemotherapy resistance and attenuate the concurrent inflammation. After entering the tumor cells, the remaining DOX@PDA-ICG@MnO2released DOX, ICG and MnO2intracellularly through PDA acid response. MnO2promoted the degradation of endogenous H2O2to generate oxygen under acidic conditions to alleviate the tumor hypoxic environment, enhance PDT triggered by ICG. PDA and ICG exhibited photothermal therapy synergistically, and DOX exerted chemotherapy with reduced chemotherapy resistance. The dual responsive drug release switch enabled the chemotherapeutic, photothermal, photodynamic and anti-inflammatory drugs precisely acted on different sites of tumor tissues and realized a promising multimodal combination therapy.

Int J Nanomedicine 2022; 17:3821-3839. [PMID: 36072959 PMCID: PMC9444041 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s369732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction During the combined treatment of tumors, the non-interfering transportation of drugs with different solubilities and the controllable sequential release are the main challenges. Here, we reported a double-chamber “Dandelion” -like sequential drug delivery system to realize the sequential release of different drugs for treating malignant tumors synergistically. Methods After synthesizing mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) by template method, a hydrophilic chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded into the channels of mesoporous silica (MSN) and locked with polydopamine (PDA) coating. Next, β-cyclodextrin (β-CDs) was decorated on PDA by Michael addition reaction, and the hydrophobic photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) was encapsulated into the hydrophobic chambers of β-CDs. Finally, AS1411 was modified on the surface of PDA and obtained DOX@MSN@PDA-β-CD/Ce6-AS1411 nanoparticles (DMPCCA) through which orthogonal loading and effective controlled release of different drugs were realized. Results Under the sequential irradiations of 808 nm and 660 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser, PDA promoted the extensive release of Ce6 firstly while playing the effect of photothermal therapy (PTT), further to achieve the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) of Ce6. Meanwhile, the rapid release of DOX loaded in MSN channels showed a time lag of about 5 h after Ce6 release, through which it maximized the chemotherapeutic effect. Besides, the present drug loading nano-platform combined passive tumor-targeting effect given by EPR and active tumor-targeting effect endowed by AS1411 realized PTT-PDT-chemotherapy triple mode synergistic combination. Conclusion We offer a general solution to address the key limitations for the delivery and sequential release of different drugs with different solubilities.

[PMID: 34557478 PMCID: PMC8452863 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.733792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Silica-based nanoframeworks have been extensively studied for diagnosing and treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Several reviews have summarized the advantages and disadvantages of these nanoframeworks and their use as drug-delivery carriers. Encouragingly, these nanoframeworks, especially those with metal elements or small molecular drugs doping into the skeleton structure or modifying onto the surface of nanoparticles, could be multifunctional components participating in HCC diagnosis and treatment rather than functioning only as drug-delivery carriers. Therefore, in this work, we described the research progress of silica-based nanoframeworks involved in HCC diagnosis (plasma biomarker detection, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, photoacoustic imaging, fluorescent imaging, ultrasonography, etc.) and treatment (chemotherapy, ferroptotic therapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, sonodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, etc.) to clarify their roles in HCC theranostics. Further, the future expectations and challenges associated with silica-based nanoframeworks were highlighted. We believe that this review will provide a comprehensive understanding for researchers to design novel, functional silica-based nanoframeworks that can effectively overcome HCC.

Abstract
In recent years, a range of studies have been conducted with the aim to design and characterize delivery systems that are able to release multiple therapeutic agents in controlled and programmed temporal sequences, or with spatial resolution inside the body. This sequential release occurs in response to different stimuli, including changes in pH, redox potential, enzyme activity, temperature gradients, light irradiation, and by applying external magnetic and electrical fields. Sequential release (SR)-based delivery systems, are often based on a range of different micro- or nanocarriers and may offer a silver bullet in the battle against various diseases, such as cancer. Their distinctive characteristic is the ability to release one or more drugs (or release drugs along with genes) in a controlled sequence at different times or at different sites. This approach can lengthen gene expression periods, reduce the side effects of drugs, enhance the efficacy of drugs, and induce an anti-proliferative effect on cancer cells due to the synergistic effects of genes and drugs. The key objective of this review is to summarize recent progress in SR-based drug/gene delivery systems for cancer and other diseases.

Trimodal synergistic antitumor drug delivery system based on graphene oxide. NANOMEDICINE-NANOTECHNOLOGY BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 2018; 15:142-152.

Abstract
A multifunctional antitumor drug delivery system was synthesized based on graphene oxide (GO) for near-infrared (NIR) light controlling chemotherapeutic/photothermal (PTT) /photodynamic (PDT) trimodal synergistic therapy. The system named ICG-Wed-GO was formed by co-loading wedelolactone (Wed) and indocyanine green (ICG) on the surface of GO through π-π stacking interaction. Under NIR laser irradiation, ICG-Wed-GO could effectively absorb and transform optical energy to heat, generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to ablating and damage tumor cells. The temperature of ICG-Wed-GO solution reached up to 79.4 °C in 10 min with NIR irradiation. In in vitro and in vivo study, ICG-Wed-GO showed excellent antitumor effect. After 14-day treatment of ICG-Wed-GO with NIR laser irradiation, the tumor disappeared completely on tumor-bearing mice. The low biotoxicity of ICG-Wed-GO was also proved. The system achieved the synergistic trimodal chemotherapeutic/photothermal/photodynamic treatment and demonstrated excellent antitumor effect, which is expected to have a greater potential for cancer therapy.
