Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common malignant tumor worldwide. Considering its special anatomical site and the progressive resistance to chemotherapy drugs, the development of more effective, minimally invasive and precise treatment methods is urgently needed. Nanomaterials, given their special properties, can be used as drug carrier systems to improve the therapeutic effect and reduce the adverse effects. The drug carrier systems with photothermal effect can promote the killing of cancer cells and help overcome drug resistance through heat stress. We selected dopamine, a simple raw material, and designed and synthesized three different configurations of nano-polydopamine (nPDA) nanomaterials, including nPDA balls, nPDA plates and porous nPDA balls. In addition to the self-polymerization and self-assembly, nPDA has high photothermal conversion efficiency and can be easily modified. Moreover, we loaded cisplatin into three different configurations of nPDA, creating nPDA-cis (the nano-drug carrier system with cisplatin), and comparatively studied the properties and antitumor effects of all the nPDA and nPDA-cis materials in vitro and nPDA-cis in vivo. We found that the photothermal effect of the nPDA-cis balls drug carrier system had synergistic effect with cisplatin, resulting in excellent antitumor effect and good clinical application prospects. The comparison of the three different configurations of drug carrier systems suggested the importance of optimizing the spatial configuration design and examining the physical and chemical properties in the future development of nano-drug carrier systems. In this study, we also noted the duality and complexity of the influences of heat stress on tumors in vitro and in vivo. The specific mechanisms and the synergy with chemotherapy and immunotherapy will be an important research direction in the future.

Abstract
Due to lack of effective, early and non-invasive diagnostic as well as treatment tools, the surgical treatment opportunities for lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are limited, resulting in high mortality rates. Therefore, the combination of targeted recognition and precise treatment of lung SCC is of great significance. In this study, a multifunctional nanoparticle is designed and synthesized, which specifically identifies lung SCC cells for target imaging and therapy. Desmoglein-3 (Dsg-3), a transmembrane glycoprotein found in desmosomes, is highly expressed in lung SCC cells. Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) conjugated with Dsg-3 antibodies to form Au-Dsg-3 through coupling reaction. The results showed that the fluorescence imaging (FI) intensity and computed tomography (CT) signal of Au-Dsg-3 significantly increased within 6 h in vitro and in vivo, achieving dual-modal imaging to detect lung SCC effectively. Besides, Au-Dsg-3 even integrates targeted photothermal therapy (PTT) characteristics in a single nanoparticle. When exposed to near-infrared radiation (NIR), the temperature of the tumor site increased rapidly and reached a high temperature of 53.3 °C after 600 s, causing tumor ablation and growth inhibition. In summary, Au-Dsg-3 provides a key platform for targeted biological imaging and collaborative PTT, which demonstrates good performance on lung SCC.

Comparative studies on the cytotoxic effects induced by iron oxide nanoparticles in cancerous and noncancerous human lung cells subjected to an alternating magnetic field. Toxicol In Vitro 2024; 95:105760. [PMID: 38070718 DOI: 10.1016/j.tiv.2023.105760] [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: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
The cytotoxic effects of water-based ferrofluids composed of iron oxide nanoparticles, including magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (γ-Fe2O3), ranging from 15 to 100 nm, were examined on various lung cancer cells including adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cells (A549), nonsmall lung squamous cell carcinoma (H1703), small cell lung cancer cells (DMS 114), and normal bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). The cytotoxic effect was evaluated both with and without exposure to an alternating magnetic field (AMF). The studies revealed that neither AMF nor iron oxide nanoparticles when tested individually, produced cytotoxic effects on either cancerous or noncancerous cells. However, when applied together, they led to a significant decrease in cell viability and proliferative capacity due to the enhanced effects of magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH). The most pronounced effects were found for maghemite (<50 nm) when subjected to an AMF. Notably, A549 cells exhibited the highest resistance to the proposed hyperthermia treatment. BEAS-2B cells demonstrated susceptibility to magnetized iron oxide nanoparticles, similar to the response observed in lung cancer cells. The studies provide evidence that MFH is a promising strategy as a standalone treatment for different types of lung cancer cells. Nevertheless, to prevent any MFH-triggered adverse effects on normal lung cells, targeted magnetic ferrofluids should be designed.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and the main treatment methods for this condition are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. These treatment methods are invasive and can cause severe adverse reactions among organisms, so nanomaterials are increasingly used as structures for anticancer therapies. Dendrimers are a type of nanomaterial with unique properties, and their production can be controlled to obtain compounds with the desired characteristics. These polymeric molecules are used in cancer diagnosis and treatment through the targeted distribution of some pharmacological substances. Dendrimers have the ability to fulfill several objectives in anticancer therapy simultaneously, such as targeting tumor cells so that healthy tissue is not affected, controlling the release of anticancer agents in the tumor microenvironment, and combining anticancer strategies based on the administration of anticancer molecules to potentiate their effect through photothermal therapy or photodynamic therapy. The purpose of this review is to summarize and highlight the possible uses of dendrimers regarding the diagnosis and treatment of oncological conditions.

Abstract
To explore the potential of silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) in combined photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), we engineered the surface of SiQDs with the photosensitizer Ce6 and the tumor-cell-targeting ligand phenylboronic acid (PBA) via polydopamine-mediated chemistry. Upon irradiation with light of specific wavelengths, SiQDs@Ce6/PBA could generate high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and trigger effective photo-to-thermal conversion. PBA-conjugation could not only increase the cellular uptake and transcellular transport capability of nanoparticles, but also enhance their tumor accumulation. In the presence of a 635 nm laser, SiQDs@Ce6/PBA was able to trigger intracellular ROS production, which further altered the mitochondrial membrane potential and promoted apoptosis of tumor cells. Finally, combined PDT/PTT treatments led to synergistically enhanced cancer cell killing and tumor-growth inhibition effects. This study demonstrates the surface engineering of silicon quantum dots for synergistic PDT/PTT cancer therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSEOF REVIEW In this review, we will summarize the effects of these perioperative anesthetics and anesthetic interventions on the immune system and tumorigenesis as well as address the related clinical evidence on cancer-related mortality and recurrence. RECENT FINDINGS Cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. For many solid tumors, surgery is one of the major therapies. Unfortunately, surgery promotes angiogenesis, shedding of circulating cancer cells, and suppresses immunity. Hence, the perioperative period has a close relationship with cancer metastases or recurrence. In the perioperative period, patients require multiple anesthetic management including anesthetics, anesthetic techniques, and body temperature control. Preclinical and retrospective studies have found that these anesthetic agents and interventions have complex effects on cancer outcomes. Therefore, well-planned, prospective, randomized controlled trials are required to explore the effects of different anesthetics and techniques on long-term outcomes after cancer surgery. Due to the conflicting effects of anesthetic management on cancer recurrence, further preclinical and clinical trials are required and beneficial to the development of systemic cancer therapies.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on Fenton or Fenton-like reactions is an emerging cancer treatment that can both effectively fight cancer and reduce side effects on normal cells and tissues, and it has made important progress in cancer treatment. The catalytic efficiency of Fenton nanocatalysts(F-NCs) directly determines the anticancer effect of CDT. To learn more about this new type of therapy, this review summarizes the recent development of F-NCs that are responsive to tumor microenvironment (TME), and detailedly introduces their material design and action mechanism. Based on the deficiencies of them, some effective strategies to significantly improve the anticancer efficacy of F-NCs are highlighted, which mainly includes increasing the temperature and hydrogen peroxide concentration, reducing the pH, glutathione (GSH) content, and the dependence of F-NCs on acidic environment in the TME. It also discusses the differences between the effect of multi-mode therapy with external energy (light and ultrasound) and the single-mode therapy of CDT. Finally, the challenges encountered in the treatment process, the future development direction of F-NCs, and some suggestions are analyzed to promote CDT to enter the clinical stage in the near future.

Abstract
Nowadays, the targeted imaging probe and drug delivery systems are the novel breakthrough area in the nanomedicine and treatment of various diseases. Conjugation of monoclonal antibodies and their fragments on nanoparticles (NPs) have a remarkable impact on personalized medicine, such that it provides specific internalization and accumulation in the tumor microenvironment. Targeted imaging and early detection of cancer is presumably the strong participant to a diminution in mortality and recurrence of cancer disease that will be the next generation of the imaging device in clinical application. These intelligent delivery systems can deliver therapeutic agents that target cancerous tissue with minimal side effects and a wide therapeutic window. Overall, the linkage between the antibody and NPs is a critical subject and requires precise design and development. The attachment of antibody nanoconjugates (Ab-NCs) on the antigen surface shouldn't affect the function of the antibody-antigen binding. Also, the stability of the antibody nanoconjugates in blood circulation is concerned to avoid the release of drug in non-targeted regions and the possible for specific toxicity while disposal to the desired site. Here, we update the recent progress of Ab-NCs to improve early detection and cancer therapy.

Abstract
It is known that Porphyromonas gingivalis/lipopolysaccharide (P. gingivalis/LPS) induces inflammatory diseases via TNF-α-mediated transcription factors. Our recent data shows that TNFAIP1 (TNF-α induced protein 1) is related to TNF-α. However, little is known regarding how TNFAIP1 is involved in the TNF-α-dependent pathway. We therefore focused on the biological function of TNFAIP1 and examined how TNFAIP1 mediates TNF-α and other genes. We found that TNF-α was upregulated and peaks before the upregulation of apoptotic genes such as Bad, Bcl-x, Caspase 3, Catalase, Claspin, Cytochromic, Ho-1/HMOX1/HSP32, or MCI-1 in our time course with TNFAIP1-treated cells. Our findings here may serve as the foundation for future studies linking regulation of TNFAIP1 and intervention of inflammatory disease.
