[PMID: 39398260 PMCID: PMC11467490 DOI: 10.1002/cai2.150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 10/15/2024]
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer. Ongoing research aims to uncover the causes of CRC, with a growing focus on the role of gut microbiota (GM) in carcinogenesis. The GM influences CRC development, progression, treatment efficacy, and therapeutic toxicities. For example, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Escherichia coli can regulate microbial gene expression through the incorporation of human small noncode RNA and potentially contribute to cancer progression. Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) have both negative and positive impacts on GM, depending on their type. Several studies state that titanium dioxide may increase the diversity, richness, and abundance of probiotics bacteria, whereas other studies demonstrate dose-dependent GM dysbiosis. The MNPs offer cytotoxicity through the modulation of MAPK signaling pathways, NF-kB signaling pathways, PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, extrinsic signaling pathways, intrinsic apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest at G1, G2, or M phase. MNPs enhance drug delivery, enable targeted therapy, and may restore GM. However, there is a need to conduct well-designed clinical trials to assess the toxicity, safety, and effectiveness of MNPs-based CRC therapies.

Abstract
Despite significant advancements in managing colorectal cancer (CRC), the issues of efficient diagnosis and targeted therapy remain demanding. To address these challenges and improve treatment outcomes while reducing the cost and side effects, there is a need for more effective theranostic systems that combine diagnostic techniques with therapeutic modalities. This study introduces a pioneering approach for the synthesis of a porous bio-MOF (biodegradable metal-organic framework) using iron as the metal component and curcumin as the pharmaceutical ingredient. Subsequently, the developed drug delivery system was equipped with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX), coated with biocompatible polyethylene glycol (PEG), and targeted with a CRC-specific aptamer (EpCAM). The physicochemical characterization confirmed the successful synthesis of the bio-MOF, demonstrating high encapsulation efficiency and pH-dependent release of DOX. In vitro studies for anticancer activity, cellular uptake, and mechanism of cell death demonstrated that in the case of positive EpCAM HT-29 cells, Apt-PEG-MOF@DOX had enhanced internalization that resulted in massive apoptosis. In vivo studies of the nanoparticles were then conducted in immunocompromised C57BL/6 mice bearing HT-29 tumors. These studies showed that the targeted platform could induce efficient tumor regression with reduced systemic toxicity. The targeted bio-MOF also exhibited MRI imaging properties useful for monitoring tumors. Significantly, the biocompatibility of the introduced bio-MOF was enhanced by pursuing the green synthesis method, which does not engage toxic solvents and strong acids. Overall, this multimodal system acts diversely as a tumor imaging agent and a therapeutic delivery platform suitable for CRC theranostics.

Abstract
Fluoropyrimidine (FP) drugs are central components of combination chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). FP-based chemotherapy has improved survival outcomes over the last several decades with much of the therapeutic benefit derived from the optimization of dose and delivery. To provide further advances in therapeutic efficacy, next-generation prodrugs and nanodelivery systems for FPs are being developed. This review focuses on recent innovative nanodelivery approaches for FP drugs that display therapeutic promise. We summarize established, clinically useful FP prodrug strategies, including capecitabine, which exploit tumor-specific enzyme expression for optimal anticancer activity. We then describe the use of FP DNA-based polymers (e.g., CF10) for the delivery of activated FP nucleotides as a nanodelivery approach with proven activity in pre-clinical models and with clinical potential. Multiple nanodelivery systems for FP delivery show promise in CRC pre-clinical models and we review advances in albumin-mediated FP delivery, the development of mesoporous silica nanoparticles, emulsion-based nanoparticles, metal nanoparticles, hydrogel-based delivery, and liposomes and lipid nanoparticles that display particular promise for therapeutic development. Nanodelivery of FPs is anticipated to impact CRC treatment in the coming years and to improve survival for cancer patients.

Abstract
In the past few years, manganese-based nanostructures have been extensively investigated in the biomedical field particularly to design highly biocompatible theranostics, which can not only act as efficient diagnostic imaging contrast agents but also deliver the drugs to the target sites. The nanoscale size, large surface area-to-volume ratio, availability of cheap precursors, flexibility to synthesize nanostructures with reproducible properties and high yield, and easy scale up are the major reasons for the attraction towards manganese nanostructures. Along with these properties, the nontoxic nature, pH-sensitive degradation, and easy surface functionalization are additional benefits for the use of manganese nanostructures in biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Therefore, in this review, we discuss the recent progress made in the synthesis of manganese nanostructures, describe the attempts made to modify their surfaces to impart biocompatibility and stability in biological fluids, and critically discuss their use in magnetic resonance imaging, drug and gene delivery, hyperthermia, photothermal/photodynamic, immunotherapy, biosensing and tumor diagnosis.

Abstract
Colon cancer (CC) is one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide. Oncologists are facing challenges such as development of drug resistance and lack of suitable drug options for CC treatment. Flavonoids are a group of natural compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based foods. According to research, they have a potential role in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Apigenin is a flavonoid that is present in many fruits and vegetables. It has been used as a natural antioxidant for a long time and has been considered due to its anticancer effects and low toxicity. The results of this review study show that apigenin has potential anticancer effects on CC cells through various mechanisms. In this comprehensive review, we present the cellular targets and signaling pathways of apigenin indicated to date in in vivo and in vitro CC models. Among the most important modulated pathways, Wnt/β-catenin, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, MAPK/ERK, JNK, STAT3, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, PKM2, and NF-kB have been described. Furthermore, apigenin suppresses the cell cycle in G2/M phase in CC cells. In CC cells, apigenin-induced apoptosis is increased by inhibiting the formation of autophagy. According to the results of this study, apigenin appears to have the potential to be a promising agent for CC therapy, but more research is required in the field of pharmacology and pharmacokinetics to establish the apigenin effects and its dosage for clinical studies.

Abstract
The third most common cancer worldwide is colon cancer (CC). Every year, there more cases are reported, yet there are not enough effective treatments. This emphasizes the need for new drug delivery strategies to increase the success rate and reduce side effects. Recently, a lot of trials have been done for developing natural and synthetic medicines for CC, among which the nanoparticle-based approach is the most trending. Dendrimers are one of the most utilized nanomaterials that are accessible and offer several benefits in the chemotherapy-based treatment of CC by improving the stability, solubility, and bioavailability of drugs. They are highly branched polymers, making it simple to conjugate and encapsulate medicines. Dendrimers have nanoscale features that enable the differentiation of inherent metabolic disparities between cancer cells and healthy cells, enabling the passive targeting of CC. Moreover, dendrimer surfaces can be easily functionalized to improve the specificity and enable active targeting of colon cancer. Therefore, dendrimers can be explored as smart nanocarriers for CC chemotherapy.

Abstract
Nanomedicines (NMs) have emerged as an efficient approach for developing novel treatment strategies against a variety of diseases. Over the past few decades, NM formulations have received great attention, and a large number of studies have been performed in this field. Despite this, only about 60 nano-formulations have received industrial acceptance and are currently available for clinical use. Their in vivo pharmaceutical behavior is considered one of the main challenges and hurdles for the effective clinical translation of NMs, because it is difficult to monitor the pharmaceutic fate of NMs in the biological environment using conventional pharmaceutical evaluations. In this context, non-invasive imaging modalities offer attractive solutions, providing the direct monitoring and quantification of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behavior of labeled NMs in a real-time manner. Imaging evaluations have great potential for revealing the relationship between the physicochemical properties of NMs and their pharmaceutical profiles in living subjects. In this review, we introduced imaging techniques that can be used for in vivo NM evaluations. We also provided an overview of various studies on the influence of key parameters on the in vivo pharmaceutical behavior of NMs that had been visualized in a non-invasive and real-time manner.

Abstract
This study reports the development and pre-clinical evaluation of biodrug using RNA interference and nanotechnology. The major challenges in achieving targeted gene silencing in vivo include the stability of RNA molecules, accumulation into pharmacological levels, and site-specific targeting of the tumor. We report the use of Inulin for coating the arginine stabilized manganese oxide nanocuboids (MNCs) for oral delivery of shRNA to the gut. Furthermore, bio-distribution analysis exhibited site-specific targeting in the intestines, improved pharmacokinetic properties, and faster elimination from the system without cytotoxicity. To evaluate the therapeutic possibility and effectiveness of this multimodal bio-drug, it was orally delivered to Apc knockout colon cancer mice models. Persistent and efficient delivery of bio-drug was demonstrated by the knockdown of target genes and increased median survival in the treated cohorts. This promising utility of RNAi-Nanotechnology approach advocates the use of bio-drug in an effort to replace chemo-drugs as the future of cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed an unprecedented growth in the research area of nanomedicine. There is an increasing optimism that nanotechnology applied to medicine will bring significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, including colorectal cancer (CRC), a type of neoplasm affecting cells in the colon or the rectum. Recent findings suggest that the role of microbiota is crucial in the development of CRC and its progression. Dysbiosis is a condition that disturbs the normal microbial environment in the gut and is often observed in CRC patients. In order to detect and treat precancerous lesions, new tools such as nanotechnology-based theranostics, provide a promising option for targeted marker detection or therapy for CRC. Because the presence of gut microbiota influences the route of biomarker detection and the route of the interaction of nanoparticle/drug complexes with target cells, the development of nanoparticles with appropriate sizes, morphologies, chemical compositions and concentrations might overcome this fundamental barrier. Metallic particles are good candidates for nanoparticle-induced intestinal dysbiosis, but this aspect has been poorly explored to date. Herein, we focus on reviewing and discussing nanotechnologies with potential applications in CRC through the involvement of gut microbiota and highlight the clinical areas that would benefit from these new medical technologies.
