Abstract
Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is a heterogeneous group of breast cancer that accounts for 10-30% of breast cancer cases. Despite the ongoing development of current treatment methods, LABC remains a severe and complex public health concern around the world, thus prompting the urgent requirement for innovative diagnosis and treatment strategies. The primary treatment challenges are inoperable clinical status and ineffective local control methods. With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology, inorganic nanoparticles (INPs) exhibit a potential application prospect in diagnosing and treating breast cancer. Due to the unique inherent characteristics of INPs, different functions can be performed via appropriate modifications and constructions, thus making them suitable for different imaging technology strategies and treatment schemes. INPs can improve the efficacy of conventional local radiotherapy treatment. In the face of inoperable LABC, INPs have proposed new local therapeutic methods and fostered the evolution of novel strategies such as photothermal and photodynamic therapy, magnetothermal therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and multifunctional inorganic nanoplatform. This article reviews the advances of INPs in local accurate imaging and breast cancer treatment and offers insights to overcome the existing clinical difficulties in LABC management.

Abstract
With the thrive of nanotechnology, silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have been extensively adopted in the agriculture, food, cosmetic, and even biomedical industries. Due to the mass production and use, SiNPs inevitably entered the environment, resulting in ecological toxicity and even posing a threat to human health. Although considerable investigations have been conducted to assess the toxicity of SiNPs, the correlation between SiNPs exposure and consequent health risks remains ambiguous. Since the biological impacts of SiNPs can differ from their design and application, the toxicity assessment for SiNPs may be extremely difficult. This review discussed the application of SiNPs in different fields, especially their biomedical use, and documented their potential release pathways into the environment. Meanwhile, the current process of assessing SiNPs-related toxicity on various model organisms and cell lines was also detailed, thus estimating the health threats posed by SiNPs exposure. Finally, the potential toxic mechanisms of SiNPs were also elaborated based on results obtained from both in vivo and in vitro trials. This review generally summarizes the biological effects of SiNPs, which will build up a comprehensive perspective of the application and toxicity of SiNPs.

Abstract
Current chemotherapy treatments lack great selectivity towards tumoral cells, which leads to nonspecific drug distribution and subsequent side effects. In this regard, the use of nanoparticles able to encapsulate and release therapeutic agents has attracted growing attention. In this sense, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been widely employed as drug carriers owing to their exquisite physico-chemical properties. Because MSNs present a surface full of silanol groups, they can be easily functionalized to endow the nanoparticles with many different functionalities, including the introduction of moieties with affinity for the cell membrane or relevant compartments within the cell, thus increasing the efficacy of the treatments. This review manuscript will provide the state-of-the-art on MSNs functionalized for targeting subcellular compartments, focusing on the cytoplasm, the mitochondria, and the nucleus.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles have been broadly applied as drug delivery systems owing to their exquisite features, such as excellent textural properties or biocompatibility. However, there are various biological barriers that prevent their proper translation into the clinic, including: (1) lack of selectivity toward tumor tissues, (2) lack of selectivity for tumoral cells and (3) endosomal sequestration of the particles upon internalization. In addition, their open porous structure may lead to premature drug release, consequently affecting healthy tissues and decreasing the efficacy of the treatment. First, this review will provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of the different approximations that have been implemented into mesoporous silica nanoparticles to overcome each of such biological barriers. Afterward, the potential premature and non-specific drug release from these mesoporous nanocarriers will be addressed by introducing the concept of stimuli-responsive gatekeepers, which endow the particles with on-demand and localized drug delivery.

Abstract
Nano anti-cancer drug carriers loaded with antineoplastic drugs can achieve targeted drug delivery, which enriches drugs at tumor sites and reduces the toxic side effects in normal tissues. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) are good nano drug carriers, as they have large specific surface areas, adjustable pore sizes, easily modifiable surfaces, and good biocompatibility. In this work, polyethyleneimine (PEI) grafted MSN were modified with folic acid (FA) as an active target molecule using chemical methods. The product was characterized by SEM, TEM, Zetasizer nano, FTIR, and an N2 adsorption and desorption test. MSN-PEI-FA are porous nano particles with an average particle size of approximately 100 nm. In addition, the loading rate and release behavior of MSN-PEI-FA were studied with curcumin as a model drug. The results show that when loading curcumin to MSN-PEI-FA at 7 mg and 0.1 g, respectively, the encapsulation efficiency was 90% and the cumulative release rate reached more than 50% within 120 h at pH = 5. This drug delivery system is suitable for loading fat-soluble antineoplastic drugs for sustained release and pH sensitive delivery.

Novel vinyl-modified RGD conjugated silica nanoparticles based on photo click chemistry for in vivo prostate cancer targeted fluorescence imaging. RSC Adv 2019; 9:25318-25325.

Abstract
Molecular imaging is a powerful tool for non-invasive visualization of tumors that plays an important role in their diagnosis and treatment. The specificity of molecular imaging probes for cancer cells is important for accurate tumor visualization, with antibody and polypeptide nanoprobe conjugates having often been used as targeting agents for tumor detection. However, many traditional chemical conjugation methods employ complex conjugation reactions that result in poor efficiency and poor bioactivity. Herein, we describe the use of photo click methodology for the rapid synthesis of nanoprobes comprised of silica nanoparticles functionalized with RGD targeting units (SiO2@T1-RGDk NPs) (∼80 nm) for in vivo prostate cancer fluorescent imaging applications. These SiO2@T1-RGDk NPs exhibit a maximum absorption wavelength of 380 nm in their UV absorption spectra with a maximum fluorescence emission wavelength of 550 nm. Confocal immunofluorescent imaging reveal that SiO2@T1-RGDk NPs exhibit excellent targeting ability for visualizing cancer cells, with in vivo fluorescence imaging intensity in a subcutaneous tumor model of prostate cancer reaching a maxima after 4 h. Biosafety assessments showed that SiO2@T1-RGDk NPs demonstrate no obvious toxicity in mice, thus demonstrated that these novel NPs may prove to be promising fluorescent imaging agents for the accurate detection and treatment of tumors. Photo click chemistry has been used to prepare RGD conjugated silica nanoprobe (SiO2@T1-RGDk NPs) that exhibits excellent tumor targeting ability and negligible toxicity which enables them to be used for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.![]()
