Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 177:117029. [PMID: 38991305 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.117029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Amifostine (AMF) as the first-line radiation protection drug, usually suffered from low compliance and short half-life upon clinical applications. The development of oral drug delivery system (DDS) for AMF is a promising solution. However, the inherent shortages of AMF present significant challenges in the design of suitable oral DDS. Here in this study, we utilized the ability of calcium ions to bind with AMF and prepared AMF loaded calcium carbonate (CC) core, CC/AMF, using phase transferred coprecipitation method. We further modified the CC/AMF using phospholipids to prepare AMF loaded lipid-calcium carbonate (LCC) hybrid nanoparticles (LCC/AMF) via a thin-film dispersion method. LCC/AMF combines the oral advantages of lipid nanoparticles with the drug-loading capabilities of CC, which was shown as uniform nano-sized formulation with decent stability in aqueous solution. With favorable intestinal transport and absorption effects, it effectively enhances the in vivo radiation protection efficacy of AMF through oral administration. More importantly, we further investigated the cellular accumulation profile and intracellular transport mechanism of LCC/AMF using MDCK and Caco-2 cell lines as models. This research not only alters the current administration method of AMF to enhance its convenience and compliance, but also provides insights and guidance for the development of more suitable oral DDS for AMF in the future.

Abstract
Cancer remains a significant global health challenge, with millions of deaths attributed to it annually. Radiotherapy, a cornerstone in cancer treatment, aims to destroy cancer cells while minimizing harm to healthy tissues. However, the harmful effects of irradiation on normal cells present a formidable obstacle. To mitigate these effects, researchers have explored using radioprotectors and mitigators, including natural compounds derived from secondary plant metabolites. This review outlines the diverse classes of natural compounds, elucidating their roles as protectants of healthy cells. Furthermore, the review highlights the potential of these compounds as radioprotective agents capable of enhancing the body's resilience to radiation therapy. By integrating natural radioprotectors into cancer treatment regimens, clinicians may improve therapeutic outcomes while minimizing the adverse effects on healthy tissues. Ongoing research in this area holds promise for developing complementary strategies to optimize radiotherapy efficacy and enhance patient quality of life.

Abstract
In recent years, the intersection of the academic and medical domains has increasingly spotlighted the utilization of biomaterials in radioactive disease treatment and radiation protection. Biomaterials, distinguished from conventional molecular pharmaceuticals, offer a suite of advantages in addressing radiological conditions. These include their superior biological activity, chemical stability, exceptional histocompatibility, and targeted delivery capabilities. This review comprehensively delineates the therapeutic mechanisms employed by various biomaterials in treating radiological afflictions impacting the skin, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and hematopoietic systems. Significantly, these nanomaterials function not only as efficient drug delivery vehicles but also as protective agents against radiation, mitigating its detrimental effects on the human body. Notably, the strategic amalgamation of specific biomaterials with particular pharmacological agents can lead to a synergistic therapeutic outcome, opening new avenues in the treatment of radiation- induced diseases. However, despite their broad potential applications, the biosafety and clinical efficacy of these biomaterials still require in-depth research and investigation. Ultimately, this review aims to not only bridge the current knowledge gaps in the application of biomaterials for radiation-induced diseases but also to inspire future innovations and research directions in this rapidly evolving field.

Abstract
Radiation-induced enteritis is an unavoidable complication associated with pelvic tumor radiotherapy, significantly influencing the prognosis of cancer patients. The limited availability of commercial gastrointestinal radioprotectors in clinical settings poses a substantial challenge in preventing radiation enteritis. Despite the inherent radioprotective characteristics of Cur in vitro, its poor solubility in water, instability, and low bioavailability lead to inferior therapeutic effects in vivo. Herein, we developed novel ROS-responsive micelles (CTI) from inulin and curcumin, aimed at mitigating radiation enteritis. CTI micelles had excellent solubility and stability. Importantly, CTI improved the cytotoxicity and bioavailability of curcumin, thereby showing enhanced effectiveness in neutralizing ROS induced by radiation, safeguarding against DNA damage, and reducing radiation-induced cellular mortality. Moreover, in a radiation enteritis mice model, CTI not only alleviated severe radiation-induced intestinal injury but also improved redox-related indicators and reduced inflammatory cytokine expression. Furthermore, CTI effectively increased gut microbiota abundance and maintained gut homeostasis. In conclusion, CTI could be a promising candidate for the clinical management of radiation enteritis. Our study provides a new perspective for radioprotection using natural antioxidants.

Abstract
Extended organic polymers such as amorphous Covalent Organic Polymers (COPs) and crystalline Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are emerging functional polymeric materials that have recently been shown promises as luminescent materials for chemosensing applications. A wide variety of luminescence COPs and COFs have been synthesized and successfully used as fluorescence-sensing materials for hazardous environmental pollutants and toxic contaminants. This review exemplifies various COPs and COFs-based fluorescence sensors for selective sensing of Fe(III) ions. The fluorescence sensors are sorted according to their structural features and each section provides a detailed discussion on the synthesis and fluorescence sensing ability of different COPs and COFs towards Fe(III) ions. Also, this review highlights the limitations of the existing organic polymer-based chemosensors and future perspectives on translating COPs and COFs-based fluorescence sensors for the practical detection of Fe(III) ions.

Druggable Biomarkers Altered in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: Strategy for the Development of Mechanism-Based Combination Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24020902.

Abstract
Targeted therapeutics made significant advances in the treatment of patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Resistance and serious adverse events associated with standard therapy of patients with advanced ccRCC highlight the need to identify alternative 'druggable' targets to those currently under clinical development. Although the Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) and Polybromo1 (PBRM1) tumor-suppressor genes are the two most frequently mutated genes and represent the hallmark of the ccRCC phenotype, stable expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α/2α (HIFs), microRNAs-210 and -155 (miRS), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-ß), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and thymidine phosphorylase (TP) are targets overexpressed in the majority of ccRCC tumors. Collectively, these altered biomarkers are highly interactive and are considered master regulators of processes implicated in increased tumor angiogenesis, metastasis, drug resistance, and immune evasion. In recognition of the therapeutic potential of the indicated biomarkers, considerable efforts are underway to develop therapeutically effective and selective inhibitors of individual targets. It was demonstrated that HIFS, miRS, Nrf2, and TGF-ß are targeted by a defined dose and schedule of a specific type of selenium-containing molecules, seleno-L-methionine (SLM) and methylselenocystein (MSC). Collectively, the demonstrated pleiotropic effects of selenium were associated with the normalization of tumor vasculature, and enhanced drug delivery and distribution to tumor tissue, resulting in enhanced efficacy of multiple chemotherapeutic drugs and biologically targeted molecules. Higher selenium doses than those used in clinical prevention trials inhibit multiple targets altered in ccRCC tumors, which could offer the potential for the development of a new and novel therapeutic modality for cancer patients with similar selenium target expression. Better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of selenium modulation of specific targets altered in ccRCC could potentially have a significant impact on the development of a more efficacious and selective mechanism-based combination for the treatment of patients with cancer.

Abstract
The selective anti-tumor activity and less toxic nature of hypoxia-activated prodrugs including tirapazamine (TPZ) are harbored by hypoxia levels in tumors, the inadequacy of which leads to failure in clinical trials. Thus, the development of effective clinical applications of TPZ requires advanced strategies to intensify hypoxia levels in tumors effectively and safely. In this study, we designed and fabricated a paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded dual-response delivery system with a low dose (e.g., 2 Gy) of X-ray and reactive oxygen species on the basis of diselenide block copolymers. Upon the external X-ray stimulus, the system accurately released encapsulated PTX at tumor sites and remarkably improved tumor hypoxia levels by causing severe damage to tumor blood vessels. Subsequently, these enhanced tumor hypoxia levels effectively activated the reduction of TPZ into benzotriazinyl free radicals, which significantly improved the antitumor efficacy of our system against 4T1 breast cancer cells with an initial tumor volume of 500 mm3. Moreover, the dual-stimulus coordinated and controlled release of PTX was found to largely avoid the off-target effects of PTX on normal cells while exhibiting very limited side effects in experimental mice. The current novel strategy for regulating tumor hypoxia levels offers an effective and safe way to activate TPZ for the treatment of large solid tumors.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is one of the major antioxidants in vivo and is expected to play critical roles on the defense against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated damages, such as ionizing radiation damages. Herein, inspired by the function and structure of natural SODs and cerium oxide nanozymes, two monovalent cerium-based metal organic frameworks (Ce-MOFs), CeIIIBTC and CeIVBTC, were designed for superoxide radical (O2•-) elimination and ionizing radiation protection. These two Ce-MOFs selectively scavenge O2•- and are excellent SOD mimics. Like natural SODs and cerium oxide nanozymes, the SOD-like catalytic mechanism of Ce-MOFs involves a cycle between Ce(IV) and Ce(III). Furthermore, by constructing monovalent Ce-MOFs, we found that high-valent CeIVBTC are more effective SOD-like nanozymes compared to CeIIIBTC. With smaller size, better monodispersity, and more effective SOD-like activity, CeIVBTC nanozymes were further applied for ionizing radiation protection. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that CeIVBTC nanozymes could efficiently scavenge ROS, prevent cells from γ-ray radiation-induced cell viability decrease and DNA damages, and improve the survival rate of irradiated mice by recovering the bone marrow DNA damage and alleviating oxidative stress of tissues. The protective effect and good biocompatibility of CeIVBTC nanozymes will enable the development of Ce-MOFs-based radioprotectants and facilitate treatment of other ROS-related diseases.

Abstract
Breast cancer and lung cancer are the two most common malignancies in China. With the continuous improvement of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment technology, the survival time of breast cancer patients has been prolonged, and the number of breast cancer patients with second primary lung cancer (SPLC) has increased. In addition, breast cancer is the most common primary cancer in female patients with SPLC, and SPLC is the main cause of death in this population. More and more physicians pay attention to this clinical phenomenon. This paper summarized the risk and risk factors of SPLC in breast cancer patients, and elaborated its pathogenesis, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical management of breast cancer patients and achieve accurate early intervention as soon as possible.

Abstract
Background Radioprotectors safeguard biological system exposed to ionizing radiation (IR) by protecting normal cells from radiation damage during radiotherapy. Due to the toxicity and limited clinical utility of the present radioprotectors, it prompts us to identify novel radioprotectors that could alleviate IR-induced cytotoxicity of normal tissues. Aims and Methods To identify new radioprotectors, we screened a chemical molecular library comprising 253 compounds in normal human fibroblasts (HFs) or 16HBE cells upon IR by CCK-8 assays and clonogenic survival assays. Fasudil was identified as a potential effective radioprotector. Results The results indicated that Fasudil exerts radioprotective effects on HFs against IR-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) through the regulation of DSB repair. Fasudil increased homologous recombination (HR) repair by 45.24% and decreased non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) by 63.88% compared with untreated cells, without affecting changes to cell cycle profile. We further found that fasudil significantly facilitated the expression and foci formation of HR core proteins such as Rad51 and BRCA1 upon IR, and decreased the expression of NHEJ-associated proteins such as DNA-PKcs at 24 h post-IR. Conclusion Our study identified fasudil as a novel radioprotector that exert radioprotective effects on normal cells through regulation of DSB repair by promoting HR repair.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2022; 213:112441. [PMID: 35272253 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2022.112441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
With the progress of nuclear technology including radiotherapy and radiodiagnosis, radiation has been widely used in many fields as a powerful diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the medical area. Unfortunately, acute radiation disease will occur if the human body is accidentally exposed to a large dosage of ionizing radiation. However, clinical radioprotective agents are being challenged by the short half-life and several side effects. In this work, a reactive oxygen species-responsive nanodrug is developed for efficient radioprotection. The nanodrug was prepared by modifying Crocin-I with 4-pentylphenylboronic acid (PBA) and exhibited effective responsiveness and scavenging activity of reactive oxygen species. PBA-Crocin nanodrug displayed good biocompatibility and radioprotection effect compared to Crocin-I in vitro. The survival rate of cells treated with PBA-Crocin (10 μg mL-1) is comparable to that treated with amifostine (12.5 μg mL-1, the only radioprotector approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration clinically) after 6 Gy irradiation. Importantly, PBA-Crocin resulted in markedly prevention of radiation-induced damage in peripheral blood cells and a 1.6-fold longer retention time of Crocin-I in plasma in comparison with Crocin-I. The finding suggests a new design for natural medicine in effective radioprotection.

Abstract
This article provides a broad spectrum about the nanoprodrug fabrication advances co-driven by prodrug and nanotechnology development to potentiate cancer treatment. The nanoprodrug inherits the features of both prodrug concept and nanomedicine know-how, attempts to solve underexploited challenge in cancer treatment cooperatively. Prodrugs can release bioactive drugs on-demand at specific sites to reduce systemic toxicity, this is done by using the special properties of the tumor microenvironment, such as pH value, glutathione concentration, and specific overexpressed enzymes; or by using exogenous stimulation, such as light, heat, and ultrasound. The nanotechnology, manipulating the matter within nanoscale, has high relevance to certain biological conditions, and has been widely utilized in cancer therapy. Together, the marriage of prodrug strategy which shield the side effects of parent drug and nanotechnology with pinpoint delivery capability has conceived highly camouflaged Trojan horse to maneuver cancerous threats.
