Mechanism and potentialities of photothermal and photodynamic therapy of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) against cancer. LUMINESCENCE 2024; 39:e4770. [PMID: 38751216 DOI: 10.1002/bio.4770] [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: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
The ultimate goal of nanoparticle-based phototherapy is to suppress tumor growth. Photothermal therapy (PTT) and photothermal photodynamic therapy (PDT) are two types of physicochemical therapy that use light radiation with multiple wavelength ranges in the near-infrared to treat cancer. When a laser is pointed at tissue, photons are taken in the intercellular and intracellular regions, converting photon energy to heat. It has attracted much interest and research in recent years. The advent of transition materials dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is a revolutionary step in PDT/PTT-based cancer therapy. The TMDCs is a multilayer 2D nano-composite. TMDCs contain three atomic layers in which two chalcogens squash in the transition metal. The chalcogen atoms are highly reactive, and the surface characteristics of TMDCs help them to target deep cancer cells. They absorb Near Infrared (NIR), which kills deep cancer cells. In this review, we have discussed the history and mechanism of PDT/PTT and the use of TMDCs and nanoparticle-based systems, which have been practiced for theranostics purposes. We have also discussed PDT/PTT combined with immunotherapy, in which the cancer cell apoptosis is done by activating the immune cells, such as CD8+.

ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16. [PMID: 38598311 PMCID: PMC11056931 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c02364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and invasive types of brain cancer with a 5-year survival rate of 6.8%. With limited options, patients often have poor quality of life and are moved to palliative care after diagnosis. As a result, there is an extreme need for a novel theranostic method that allows for early diagnosis and noninvasive treatment as current peptide-based delivery standards may have off-target effects. Prussian Blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) have recently been investigated as photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal ablation agents. However, due to their inability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), their use in glioblastoma treatment is limited. By utilizing a hybrid, biomimetic nanoparticle composed of a PBNP interior and a U-87 cancer cell-derived exosome coating (Exo:PB), we show tumor-specific targeting within the brain and selective thermal therapy potential due to the strong photoconversion abilities. Particle characterization was carried out and showed a complete coating around the PBNPs that contains exosome markers. In vitro cellular uptake patterns are similar to native U-87 exosomes and when exposed to an 808 nm laser, show localized cell death within the specified region. After intravenous injection of Exo:PB into subcutaneously implanted glioblastoma mice, they have shown effective targeting and eradication of tumor volume compared to PEG-coated PBNPs (PEG:PB). Through systemic administration of Exo:PB particles into orthotopic glioblastoma-bearing mice, the PBNP signal was detected in the brain tumor region through PAI. It was seen that Exo:PB had preferential tumor accumulation with less off-targeting compared to the RGD:PB control. Ex vivo analysis validated specific targeting with a direct overlay of Exo:PB with the tumor by both H&E staining and Ki67 labeling. Overall, we have developed a novel biomimetic material that can naturally cross the BBB and act as a theranostic agent for systemic targeting of glioblastoma tissue and photothermal therapeutic effect.

Abstract
In search of materials with superior capability of light-to-heat (photothermal) conversion, biocompatibility, and confinement of active photothermal materials within the cells, novel magnetic MXene-based nanocomposites are found to possess all of these criteria. The CoF@Ti3C2 composite is fabricated by a simple two-step method, including an exfoliation strategy followed by sonochemical method. MXene composite has been modified with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to improve the stability in physiological conditions. The synthesized composite was characterized with multiple analytical tools. In vitro photothermal conversion efficiency of composite was determined by the time constant method and achieved η = 34.2% with an NIR 808 nm laser. In vitro, cytotoxicity studies conducted on human malignant melanoma (Ht144) and cells validated the photothermal property of the CoF@Ti3C2-PVP composite in the presence of an NIR laser (808 nm, 1.0 W cm-2), with significantly increased cytotoxicity. Calculated IC50 values were 86 μg/mL with laser, compared to 226 μg/mL without the presence of NIR laser. Microscopic results demonstrated increased apoptosis in the presence of NIR laser. Additionally, hemolysis assay confirmed biocompatibility of CoF@Ti3C2-PVP composite for intravenous applications at the IC50 concentration. The research described in this work expands the potential applications of MXene-based nanoplatforms in the biomedical field, particularly in photothermal therapy (PTT). Furthermore, the addition of cobalt ferrite serves as a magnetic nanocomposite, which eventually helps to confine therapeutic photothermal materials inside the cells, provides enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency, and creates externally controlled theranostic nanoplatforms for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Implant-associated infection (IAI) is an unsolved problem in orthopaedics. Current therapies, including antibiotics and surgical debridement, can lead severe clinical and financial burdens on patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reinforce the inherent antibacterial properties of implants. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) silicene nanosheets (SNs) have gained increasing attention in biomedical fields owing to their considerable biocompatibility, biodegradability and strong photothermal-conversion performance. Herein, a dual-functional photosensitive coating on a Ti substrate (denoted as TPSNs) was rationally fabricated for bacterial inhibition and osteogenesis promotion. For the first time, SNs were loaded onto the surface of implants. Hyperthermia generated by the SNs and polydopamine (PDA) coating under 808 nm laser irradiation achieved the in vitro anti-bacterial efficiency of 90.7 ± 2.4 % for S. aureus and 88.0 ± 5.8 % for E. coli, respectively. In addition, TPSNs exhibited promising biocompatibility for the promotion of BMSC (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells) proliferation and spreading. The presence of silicon (Si) in TPSNs contributed to the improved osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, elevating the expressions of RUNX2 and OCN. In animal experiments, the combination of TPSNs with photothermal therapy (PTT) achieved an anti-bacterial efficiency of 89.2 % ± 1.6 % against S. aureus. Furthermore, TPSNs significantly improved bone-implant osseointegration in vivo. Overall, the development of a dual-functional TPSNs coating provides a new strategy for combating IAI.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) coated gold nanoshells (GNSs), in addition to having low cytotoxicity and a biocompatibility value greater than graphene, exhibit strong light absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region and high photothermal conversion efficiency. Using a quasi-static approach and bioheat equations, the optical and photothermal properties of GNSs coated with various TMDs are studied for treatment of skin cancer. Our findings show that the intensity of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peaks and their position in the extinction spectrum of nanoparticles (NPs) can be easily tuned within biological windows by varying the core radius, the gold shell thickness and the number of coating layers of the different TMDs. In order to engineer heat production at designated spatial locations of NPs, near electric field (NEF) enhancement is investigated. Moreover, the effect of laser intensity and the number of TMD layers on the temperature rise and the amount of thermal damage in skin tumor tissue and its surroundings are studied. Our results introduce GNSs with various TMD coatings as superlative nanoagents for photothermal therapy (PTT) applications.

Abstract
Solid tumors are a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, being characterized by rapid tumor growth and local and distant metastases. The failures encountered in cancer treatment are mainly related to the complicated biology of the tumor microenvironment. Nanoparticles-based (NPs) approaches have shown the potential to overcome the limitations caused by the pathophysiological features of solid cancers, enabling the development of multifunctional systems for cancer diagnosis and therapy and allowing effective inhibition of tumor growth. Among the different classes of NPs, 2D graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNs), due to their outstanding chemical and physical properties, easy surface multi-functionalization, near-infrared (NIR) light absorption and tunable biocompatibility, represent ideal nanoplatforms for the development of theranostic tools for the treatment of solid tumors. Here, we reviewed the most recent advances related to the synthesis of nano-systems based on graphene, graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and graphene quantum dots (GQDs), for the development of theranostic NPs to be used for photoacoustic imaging-guided photothermal-chemotherapy, photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), applied to solid tumors destruction. The advantages in using these nano-systems are here discussed for each class of GBNs, taking into consideration the different chemical properties and possibility of multi-functionalization, as well as biodistribution and toxicity aspects that represent a key challenge for their translation into clinical use.
