Abstract
Theranostic nanoparticles (NPs) have the potential to dramatically improve cancer management by providing personalized medicine. Inorganic NPs have attracted widespread interest from academic and industrial communities because of their unique physicochemical properties (including magnetic, thermal, and catalytic performance) and excellent functions with functional surface modifications or component dopants (e.g., imaging and controlled release of drugs). To date, only a restricted number of inorganic NPs are deciphered into clinical practice. This review highlights the recent advances of inorganic NPs in breast cancer therapy. We believe that this review can provides various approaches for investigating and developing inorganic NPs as promising compounds in the future prospects of applications in breast cancer treatment and material science.

Abstract
This study focused on synthesis of innovative hydrogels with electric field response from modified pineapple peel cellulose and hericium erinaceus chitosan and gelatin based on Schiff base reaction. A series of hydrogels were prepared by oxidized hydroxyethyl cellulose, gelatin and chitosan at different deacetylation degree via mild Schiff base reaction. Subsequently experiments towards the characterization of oxidized hydroxyethyl cellulose/gelatin/chitosan (OHGCS) hydrogel polymers were carried out by FTIR/XRD/XPS, swelling performances and electric response properties. The prepared hydrogels exhibited stable and reversible bending behaviors under repeated on-off switching of electric fields, affected by ionic strength, electric voltage and pH changes. The swelling ratio of OHGCS hydrogels was found reduced as deacetylation degree increasing and reached the maximum ratio ∼ 2250 % for OHGCS-1. In vitro drug releasing study showed the both curcumin loading capacity and release amount of Cur-OHGCS hydrogels arrived about 90 % during 6 h. Antioxidation assessments showed that the curcumin-loaded hydrogels had good antioxidation activities, in which, 10 mg Cur-OHGCS-1 hydrogel could reach to the maximum of about 90 % DPPH scavenging ratio. These results indicate the OHGCS hydrogels have potentials in sensor and drug delivery system.

Abstract
Extensive modifications have been made to the synthesis protocol for porous silica particles to improve the shape, size and yield percentage, but problems associated with improvement in biodegradability and decrease in chances to induce side effects still remain a concern. To circumvent these limitations, a facile modification strategy has been employed through in situ carbonization of porous silica particles. Herein, carbon particles were integrated within porous silica core-shell particles (Si-P-CNPs) during the synthesis process and found to preserve the ordered structural morphology. Curcumin was used as a model drug for loading in prepared Si-P-CNPs whereas lung cancer cells were used as a model system to study the in vitro fate. These Si-P-CNPs showed improved drug loading, drug effectivity, biodegradability and avoidance of interaction with transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) indicating the possibility of reducing the chances of lung fibrosis and thereby enhancing the safety profile over conventional porous silica particles.

Abstract
As cancer being the most difficult disease to treat, different kinds of medications and therapeutic approaches have been prominently developed by scientists. For certain families of drugs, such as immuno-therapeutics or antibody-drug conjugates, efficient delivery systems are required during administration to protect the drugs from chemical degradation or biological inactivation. Delivery systems with the ability to carry different therapeutics or diagnostic agents or both, hold promising potential to tackle the abnormalities behind cancer. In this context, this review provides updated insights on how cyclodextrin-based polymeric nanosystems have become an effective treatment approach against cancer. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are natural oligosaccharides that are famously exploited in pharmaceutical research due to their exceptional quality of entrapping water-insoluble molecules inside their hydrophobic core and providing enhanced solubility with the help of their hydrophilic exterior. Combining the properties of CDs with polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) brings out excellent versatile and tunable profiles, thanks to the submicron-sized PNPs. By introducing the significance of CD as a delivery system, a collective discussion on different binding approaches and release mechanisms of CD-drug complexation, followed by their characterization studies has been done in this review. Further, in light of recent studies, the article majorly focuses on conveying how promoting CD to a polymeric and nanoscale elevates the multifunctional advantages against cancer that can be successfully applied in combination therapy and theranostics. Moreover, CD-based delivery systems including CALAA-01, CRLX101, and CRLX301, have demonstrated improved tumor targeting, reduced side effects, and prolonged drug release in preclinical studies and clinical trials.

Abstract
The limited penetration of nanocarriers into tumors and the slow release of drugs from these carriers to tumor cells are significant challenges in cancer therapy. In this study, we developed a novel drug delivery carrier derived from mesoporous silica, dually modified with the tumor-homing cyclic peptide iRGD (CRGDKGPDC) and the pH-responsive polymer poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOz) for treating triple-negative breast cancer. The carrier selectively bound to the αvβ3 integrin receptor, which is specifically expressed in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and vessels. Subsequently, it penetrated deep into the tumor parenchyma through NRP-1 receptor-dependent internalization, with the drug-loaded particles releasing drugs rapidly in the acidic cytoplasmic environment. Results indicated that the drug release rate of PEOz-modified formulations was pH-dependent. Lysosomal escape experiments demonstrated that PEOz-modified particles efficiently escaped lysosomes to release drugs. In vitro cytotoxicity assays revealed that iRGD-functionalized particles were more cytotoxic to NRP-1-positive MDA-MB-231 cells compared to NRP-1-negative MCF-7 cells. Cellular uptake studies demonstrated that iRGD mediated enhanced endocytosis of nanoparticles into MDA-MB-231 cells. In vitro tumor cell spheroid penetration assays confirmed that the PEOz and iRGD dual-modified carrier facilitated deeper distribution of DOX in multicellular spheroids compared to free DOX. Moreover, in a nude mouse model of triple-negative breast cancer, the dual-modified drug-loaded carrier significantly inhibited tumor growth without inducing weight loss or liver and kidney damage. This dual-modified mesoporous silica presents a novel and promising delivery carrier for enhancing cancer treatment.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a combination of raw herbs and herbal extracts with a plethora of documented beneficial bioactivities, which has unique advantages in anti-tumor therapy, and many of its major bioactive molecules have been identified in recent years due to advances in chemical separation and structural analysis. However, the major chemical classes of plant-derived bioactive compounds frequently possess chemical properties, including poor water solubility, stability, and bioavailability, that limit their therapeutic application. Alternatively, natural small molecules (NSMs) containing these components possess modifiable groups, multiple action sites, hydrophobic side chains, and a rigid skeleton with self-assembly properties that can be exploited to construct self-assembled nanoparticles with therapeutic effects superior to their individual constituents. For instance, the construction of a self-assembled nanodrug delivery system can effectively overcome the strong hydrophobicity and poor in vivo stability of NSMs, thereby greatly improving their bioavailability and enhancing their anti-tumor efficacy. This review summarizes the self-assembly methods, mechanisms, and applications of a variety of NSMs, including terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, polyphenols, and saponins, providing a theoretical basis for the subsequent research on NSMs and the development of SANDDS.

Abstract
Accurate and rapid detection of nucleic acid sequences is of utmost importance in various fields, including disease monitoring, clinical treatment, gene analysis and drug discovery. In this study, we developed a "turn-on" fluorescence biosensor that enables simple and highly efficient detection of nucleic acid biomarkers. Our approach involves the utilization of 6-carboxyfluorescein modified single-stranded DNA (FAM-ssDNA) as molecular recognition element, along with polydopamine-functionalized dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS). FAM-ssDNA serves as both specific molecular recognition element for the target analyte and reporter capable of transducing a detectable signal through Watson-Crick base pairing. The polydopamine-functionalized DFNS (DFNS@DA) exhibits strong binding to FAM-ssDNA via polyvalent metal mediated coordination leading to effective quenching by fluorescence resonance energy transfer. In the presence of a complementary target sequence, FAM-ssDNA forms hybridized structure and detaches from DFNS@DA, which causes an increased fluorescence emission. The analytical system based on FAM-ssDNA and DFNS@DA demonstrates exceptional sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response for the detection of nucleic acid sequences, leveraging the high adsorption and quenching properties of DFNS@DA. For the first proof of concept, we demonstrated the successful detection of microRNA (miR-21) in cancer cells using the FAM-ssDNA/DFNS@DA system. Our results highlight the promising capabilities of DFNS@DA and nucleic acid-based biosensors, offering a generic and cost-effective solution for the detection of nucleic acid-related biomarkers.

Abstract
Endogenous essential metal ions play an important role in many life processes, especially in tumor development and immune response. The approval of various metallodrugs for tumor therapy brings more attention to the antitumor effect of metal ions. With the deepening understanding of the regulation mechanisms of metal ion homeostasis in vivo, breaking intracellular metal ion homeostasis becomes a new means to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells and activate antitumor immune response. Diverse nanomedicines with the loading of small molecular ion regulators or metal ions have been developed to disrupt metal ion homeostasis in tumor cells, with higher safety and efficiency than free small molecular ion regulators or metal compounds. This comprehensive review focuses on the latest progress of various intracellular metal ion homeostasis regulation-based nanomedicines in tumor therapy including calcium ion (Ca2+ ), ferrous ion (Fe2+ ), cuprous ion (Cu+ ), managanese ion (Mn2+ ), and zinc ion (Zn2+ ). The physiological functions and homeostasis regulation processes of ions are summarized to guide the design of metal ion regulation-based nanomedicines. Then the antitumor mechanisms of various ions-based nanomedicines and some efficient synergistic therapies are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and future developments of ion regulation-based antitumor therapy are also discussed, hoping to provide a reference for finding more effective metal ions and synergistic therapies.

Abstract
Despite the continuous advancement of surgical resection techniques, postoperative tumor recurrence and metastasis remain a huge challenge. Here, we constructed an injectable curcumin/doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticle (NanoCD) hydrogel, which could effectively inhibit tumor regrowth and metastasis via reshaping the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) for highly effective postsurgical cancer treatment. NanoCD was prepared by the controlled assembly of curcumin (CUR) and doxorubicin (DOX) via π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding in the presence of human serum albumin. To facilitate prolonged treatment of postsurgical tumors, NanoCD was further incorporated into the temperature-sensitive Poloxamer 407 gel (NanoCD@Gel) for intracavity administration. Mechanistically, DOX induced the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and CUR reduced the ROS metabolism by inhibiting thioredoxin reductase (TrxR). The synergy of DOX and CUR amplified intracellular ROS levels and thus resulted in enhanced immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells. Upon being injected into the tumor cavity after resection, the in situ-generated NanoCD@Gel allowed the local release of CUR and DOX in a controlled manner to induce local chemotherapy and persistently activate the antitumor immune response, thereby achieving enhanced immunogenic chemotherapy with reduced systemic toxicity. Our work provides an elegant strategy for persistently stimulating effective antitumor immunity to prevent postsurgical tumor recurrence and metastasis.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is essential for mitochondrial homeostasis and function coordination, particularly in cancer cells that metabolize frequently to sustain their growth. Photochemistry mediated calcium overload has attracted lots of attention as an effective way to achieve tumor suppression. Herein, we developed a photonanomedicine to synergistically induce calcium overload via cell-surface photochemistry and thus tumor suppression. Specifically, the photosensitizer, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) was loaded onto upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP), which was subsequently modified by a polymer bearing photo-crosslinking cinnamate (CA) groups. The resulting nanoparticle was further functionalized by anti-CD20 aptamers (Apt), to give photonanomedicine. The interaction between CD20 receptors and anti-CD20 aptamers allowed photonanomedicine to accurately attach onto the Raji cell surface after an intravenous injection. Following the local application of a 980 nm NIR laser, the photonanomedicine was able to capture the NIR light and convert it into ultraviolet (UV) light. On one hand, the converted UV light led the crosslinking of cinnamate groups in photonanomedicine, further stimulating the clustering of CD20 receptors and causing Ca2+ influx. On the other hand, the UV light could simultaneously excited PpIX to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ to break down the integrity of cell membrane and lead to an influx of Ca2+. The synergistic Ca2+ overload mediated by photonanomedicine exhibited an enhanced and superior anti-tumor efficacy. We believe this photonanomedicine expands the toolbox to manipulate intracellular Ca2+ concentration and holds a great potential as an anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
KCC-1, a nanostructured silica material with a bicontinuous concentric lamellar (bcl) morphology, provides plenty of functional characteristics, such as an open channel structure, excellent accessibility, and a large surface area. Although bcl silica exhibits various superior properties, studies on its morphology and its application in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are still limited. Therefore, this work aims to study the influence of the synthesis time on the morphology of bcl silica. Moreover, we used the synthesized bcl silica as internal micro-reflectors in DSSCs. The bcl silica was synthesized using the reflux method by varying synthesis times. The morphology of bcl silica was observed using FESEM and HRTEM. FESEM images show that bcl silica has bicontinuous lamellar walls arranged concentrically to form spherical particles. As the synthesis time increases, the average particle size of bcl silica increases. The quantization of bcl silica binary images shows that the average lamellar cross-sectional area ratio decreases with increasing synthesis time. The simulation of the Cahn-Hilliard's spinodal decomposition model using MATLAB also describes the lamellar cross-sectional area ratio of bcl silica. In addition, to characterize the FESEM image's texture, a Shannon entropy calculation was performed. The line and circular gray value intensity profiles of the HRTEM image show that bcl silica has a denser core than the outer part. The denser core proves that the lamellae in bcl silica are concentrically arranged towards the particle core. Furthermore, we added bcl silica to a photoanode to see the effect of bcl characteristics on the DSSC performance. The results show that the bcl silica significantly improves the light-harvesting efficiency in DSSCs due to its low refractive index and open channel structure.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a pivotal role in cancer development and progression. In this line, revealing the precise mechanisms of the TME and associated signaling pathways of tumor resistance could pave the road for cancer prevention and efficient treatment. The use of nanomedicine could be a step forward in overcoming the barriers in tumor-targeted therapy. Novel delivery systems benefit from enhanced permeability and retention effect, decreasing tumor resistance, reducing tumor hypoxia, and targeting tumor-associated factors, including immune cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. Emerging evidence also indicates the engagement of multiple dysregulated mediators in the TME, such as matrix metalloproteinase, vascular endothelial growth factor, cytokines/chemokines, Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, Hedgehog, and related inflammatory and apoptotic pathways. Hence, investigating novel multitargeted agents using a novel delivery system could be a promising strategy for regulating TME and drug resistance. In recent years, small molecules from natural sources have shown favorable anticancer responses by targeting TME components. Nanoformulations of natural compounds are promising therapeutic agents in simultaneously targeting multiple dysregulated factors and mediators of TME, reducing tumor resistance mechanisms, overcoming interstitial fluid pressure and pericyte coverage, and involvement of basement membrane. The novel nanoformulations employ a vascular normalization strategy, stromal/matrix normalization, and stress alleviation mechanisms to exert higher efficacy and lower side effects. Accordingly, the nanoformulations of anticancer monoclonal antibodies and conventional chemotherapeutic agents also improved their efficacy and lessened the pharmacokinetic limitations. Additionally, the coadministration of nanoformulations of natural compounds along with conventional chemotherapeutic agents, monoclonal antibodies, and nanomedicine-based radiotherapy exhibits encouraging results. This critical review evaluates the current body of knowledge in targeting TME components by nanoformulation-based delivery systems of natural small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, conventional chemotherapeutic agents, and combination therapies in both preclinical and clinical settings. Current challenges, pitfalls, limitations, and future perspectives are also discussed.

Abstract
Curcumin-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have shown promise as drug delivery systems to address the limited pharmacokinetic characteristics of curcumin. Functionalization with folic acid and PEGylation enhance anticancer activity, biocompatibility, stability, and permeability. Co-delivery with other drugs results in synergistically enhanced cytotoxic activity. Environment-responsive MSNs prevent undesirable drug leakage and increase selectivity towards target tissues. This review summarizes the methods of Cur-loaded MSN synthesis and functionalization and their application in various diseases, and also highlights the potential of Cur-loaded MSNs as a promising drug delivery system.

Abstract
We present a simple and eco-friendly method for controlled drug release using a surfactant-assisted method. Oxyresveratrol (ORES) was co-loaded with a non-ionic surfactant onto KCC-1, a dendritic fibrous silica, using an ethanol evaporation technique. The carriers were characterized using FE-SEM, TEM, XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy, and the loading and encapsulation efficiencies were assessed using TGA and DSC techniques. Contact angle and zeta potential were used to determine the surfactant arrangement and the particle charges. To investigate the effects of different surfactants (Tween 20, Tween 40, Tween 80, Tween 85, and Span 80) on ORES release, we conducted experiments under different pH and temperature conditions. Results showed that the types of surfactants, drug loading content, pH, and temperature significantly affected the drug release profile. The percentage of drug loading efficiency of the carriers was in the range of 80 %-100 %, and the release of ORES was in the order of M/KCC-1 > M/K/S80 > M/K/T40 > M/K/T20 > MK/T80 > M/K/T85 at 24 h. Furthermore, the carriers provided excellent protection for ORES against UVA and maintained its antioxidant activity. KCC-1 and Span 80 enhanced the cytotoxicity to HaCaT cells, while Tween 80 suppressed the cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Current anticancer research shows that a combination of multiple treatment methods can greatly improve the killing of tumor cells. Using the latest microfluidic swirl mixer technology, combined with chemotherapy and photothermal-ablation therapy, we developed multiresponsive targeted antitumor nanoparticles (NPs) made of folate-functionalized gelatin NPs under 200 nm in size and with encapsulated CuS NPs, Fe3O4 NPs, and curcumin (Cur). By exploring gelatin's structure, adjusting its concentration and pH, and fine-tuning the fluid dynamics in the microfluidic device, the best preparation conditions were obtained for gelatin NPs with an average particle size of 90 ± 7 nm. The comparative targeting of the drug delivery system (DDS) was demonstrated on lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells (low level of folate receptors) and breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells (high level of folate receptors). Folic acid helps achieve targeting and accurate delivery of NPs to the MCF-7 tumor cells. The synergistic photothermal ablation and curcumin's anticancer activity are achieved through infrared light irradiation (980 nm), while Fe3O4 is guided with an external magnetic field to target gelatin NPs and accelerate the uptake of drugs, thus efficiently killing tumor cells. The method described in this work is simple, easy to repeat, and has great potential to be scaled up for industrial production and subsequent clinical use.

Abstract
Zinc oxide and curcumin, on their own and in combination, have the potential as alternatives to conventional anticancer drugs. In this work, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were prepared by an eco-friendly method using pure curcumin, and their physicochemical properties were characterised. ATR-FTIR spectra confirmed the role of curcumin in synthesising zinc oxide curcumin nanoparticles (Green-ZnO-NPs). These nanoparticles exhibited a hexagonal wurtzite structure with a size and zeta potential of 27.61 ± 5.18 nm and -16.90 ± 0.26 mV, respectively. Green-ZnO-NPs showed good activity towards studied bacterial strains, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The minimum inhibitory concentration of Green-ZnO-NPs was consistently larger than that of chemically synthesised ZnO NPs (Std-ZnO-NPs) or mere curcumin, advocating an additive effect between the zinc oxide and curcumin. Green-ZnO-NPs demonstrated an efficient inhibitory effect towards MCF-7 cells with IC50 (20.53 ± 5.12 μg/mL) that was significantly lower compared to that of Std-ZnO-NPs (27.08 ± 0.91 μg/mL) after 48 h of treatment. When Green-ZnO-NPs were tested against Artemia larvae, a minimised cytotoxic effect was observed, with LC50 being almost three times lower compared to that of Std-ZnO-NPs (11.96 ± 1.89 μg/mL and 34.60 ± 9.45 μg/mL, respectively). This demonstrates that Green-ZnO-NPs can be a potent, additively enhanced combination delivery/therapeutic agent with the potential for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
This study is focused on the selective delivery and release of the plant-based anticancer compound eugenol (EUG) in colorectal cancer cells (CRC). EUG is an apoptotic and anti-growth compound in diverse malignant tumors, including CRC. However, EUG's rapid metabolization, excretion, and side effects on normal cells at higher dosages are major limitations of its therapeutic potential. To address this problem, we developed a "smart" enzyme-responsive nanoparticle (eNP) loaded with EUG that exposes tumors to a high level of the drug while keeping its concentration low among healthy cells. We demonstrated that EUG induces apoptosis in CRC cells irrespective of their grades in a dose- and time-dependent manner. EUG significantly decreases cancer cell migration, invasion, and the population of colon cancer stem cells, which are key players in tumor metastasis and drug resistance. The "smart" eNPs-EUG show a high affinity to cancer cells with rapid internalization with no affinity toward normal colon epithelial cells. NPs-EUG enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of EUG measured by a cell viability assay and showed no toxicity effect on normal cells. The development of eNPs-EUG is a promising strategy for innovative anti-metastatic therapeutics.

Abstract
Multiple gastrointestinal barriers (mucus clearance and epithelium barrier) are the main challenges in the oral administration of nanocarriers. To achieve efficient mucus penetration and epithelial absorption, a novel strategy based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles with dendritic superstructure, hydrophilicity, and nearly neutral-charged modification was designed. The mPEG covalently grafted dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (mPEG-DMSNs) had a particle size of about 200 nm and a loading capacity of up to 50% andrographolide (AG) as a nanocrystal cluster in the mesoporous structure. This dual strategy of combining with the surface topography structure and hydrophilic modification maintained a high mucus permeability and showed an increase in cell absorption. The mPEG-DMSN formulation also exhibited effective transepithelial transport and intestinal tract distribution. The pharmacokinetics study demonstrated that compared with other AG formulations, the andrographolide nanocrystals-loaded mPEG-DMSN (AG@mPEG-DMSN) exhibited much higher bioavailability. Also, AG@mPEG-DMSN could significantly improve the in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory efficacy of AG. In summary, mPEG-DMSN offers an interesting strategy to overcome the mucus clearance and epithelium barriers of the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Resveratrol has been garnering considerable attention as a promising chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic drug against metastatic tumors such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the potential in vivo application of resveratrol has been highly limited due to its poor solubility, rapid conjugation, low bioavailability, and bioactivity. In this study, a silica mesoporous nanoparticle (MSN)-based drug delivery system (DDS), named Au-Se@MSN, is developed to deliver the loaded resveratrol, endowing it with properties of targeted delivery, excellent bioavailability, and antioxidation of resveratrol. In Au-Se@MSN(RES), gold nanoparticles functionalized with selenol-modified uPA-specific peptides act as gatekeepers to avoid the interference of glutathione in the bloodstream and realize negligible premature release of resveratrol during delivery. Au-Se@MSN(RES) shows prolonged resveratrol release at the tumor site and endows resveratrol with a remarkable in vitro therapeutic effect. The pharmacological dose of resveratrol treatment on MDA-MB-231 cells was found to result in the generation of a high level of NAD(P)H other than H2O2, indicating reductive stress instead of oxidative stress involved in the resveratrol therapeutic process. In vivo experiments showed that Au-Se@MSN greatly improves the chemotherapeutic effect of resveratrol on mice bearing TNBC tumors, and damage to normal tissues and cells is negligible. Overall, Au-Se@MSN is a potential tool for further studies on the anticancer mechanism and clinical applications of resveratrol.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common kidney cancers, responsible for nearly 90 % of all renal malignancies. Despite the availability of many treatment strategies, RCC still remains to be an incurable disease due to its resistivity towards conventional therapies. Nanotechnology is an emerging field of science that offers newer possibilities in therapeutics including cancer medicine, specifically by targeted delivery of anticancer drugs. Several phytochemicals are known for their anti-cancer properties and have been regarded as chemopreventive agents. However, the hydrophobic nature of many phytochemicals decreases its bioavailability and distribution, thus showing limited therapeutic effect. Application of nanotechnology to enhance chemoprevention is an effective strategy to increase the bioavailability of phytochemicals and thereby its therapeutic efficacy. The present review focuses on the utility of nanotechnology in RCC treatment and chemopreventive agents of RCC. We have also visualized the future prospects of nanomolecules in the prevention and cure of RCC.

Abstract
Resveratrol (Res) is a plant extract with strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-aging biological activities. However, Res is limited by its disadvantages, such as poor solubility, rapid metabolism and low bioavailability. In this study, the Resveratrol-loaded TEMPO-oxidized cellulose aerogel (RLTA) drug delivery system was prepared by the method of “dissolution-freeze-drying” and characterized by a series of analysis. Then the blood biochemical indexes and HE staining were measured and analyzed in animal experiments. The in vivo results showed that RLTA can decrease the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 inflammatory factors in the synovial fluid. Furthermore, the molecular mechanism was investigated through the analysis of silent information regulator 2 homolog 1 (Sirt1) protein expression, which suggested that RLTA could upregulate the expression of Sirt1 and mediate the P38 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the expression of COX-2 and MMP13 which can suppress the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α inflammatory factor. These results reveal that cellulose aerogel is a promising candidate for drug delivery and RLTA has great potential application for the treatment of sports osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Ca2+ overload has attracted an increasing attention due to its benefit of precise cancer therapy, but its efficacy is limited by the strong Ca2+ excretion of cancer cells. Moreover, monotherapy of Ca2+ overload usually fails to treat tumors satisfactorily. Herein, we develop a multifunctional nanosystem that could induce Ca2+ overload by multipathway and simultaneously produce chemotherapy for synergistic tumor therapy. The nanosystem (CaMSN@CUR) is prepared by synthesizing a Ca-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticle (CaMSN) followed by loading the anticancer drug curcumin (CUR). CaMSN serves as the basis Ca2+ generator to induce Ca2+ overload directly in the intracellular environment by acid-triggered Ca2+ release, while CUR could not only exhibit chemotherapy but also facilitate Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytoplasm and inhibit Ca2+ efflux out of cells to further enhance Ca2+ overload. The in vitro and in vivo results show that CaMSN@CUR could exhibit a remarkable cytotoxicity against 4T1 cells and significantly inhibit tumor growth in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice via the synergy of Ca2+ overload and CUR-mediated chemotherapy. It is expected that the designed CaMSN@CUR has a great potential for effective tumor therapy.

Abstract
Biomaterials have provided promising strategies towards improving the functions of injured tissues of the nervous system. Recently, 2D nanomaterials, such as graphene, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), and black phosphorous, which are characterized by ultrathin film structures, have attracted much attention in the fields of neural repair and regeneration. 2D nanomaterials have extraordinary physicochemical properties and excellent biological activities, such as a large surface-area-to-thickness ratio, high levels of adhesion, and adjustable flexibility. In addition, they can be designed to have superior biocompatibility and electrical or nano-carrier properties. To date, many 2D nanomaterials have been used for synaptic modulation, neuroinflammatory reduction, stem cell fate regulation, and injured neural cell/tissue repair. In this review, we discuss the advances in 2D nanomaterial technology towards novel neurological applications and the mechanisms underlying their unique features. In addition, the future outlook of functional 2D nanomaterials towards addressing the difficult issues of neuropathy has been explored to introduce a promising strategy towards repairing and regenerating the injured nervous system.

Abstract
Curcumin is a phytochemical achieved from the plant turmeric. It is extensively utilized for the treatment of several types of diseases such as cancers. Nevertheless, its efficiency has been limited because of rapid metabolism, low bioavailability, poor water solubility, and systemic elimination. Scientists have tried to solve these problems by exploring novel drug delivery systems such as lipid-based nanoparticles (NPs) (e.g., solid lipid NPs, nanostructured lipid carriers, and liposomes), polymeric NPs, micelles, nanogels, cyclodextrin, gold, and mesoporous silica NPs. Among these, liposomes have been the most expansively studied. This review mainly focuses on the different curcumin nanoformulations and their use in cancer therapy in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. Despite the development of curcumin-containing NPs for the treatment of cancer, potentially serious side effects, including interactions with other drugs, some toxicity aspects of NPs may occur that require more high-quality investigations to firmly establish the clinical efficacy.

Abstract
Improving of tumor targeting and decreasing side effects at normal cells of antitumor drugs are necessary to promote the cancer chemotherapy efficacy. Herein, we have synthesized a novel 21-arm star like diblock polymer of β-cyclodextrin-{poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(2-aminoethylmethacrylate)}21 which decorated with nucleolin aptamer (AS1411). The diblock polymer was prepared by combined ROP with electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) methods followed camptothecin (CPT) encapsulation with high entrapment efficiency (65%). Subsequently, the attachment of AS1411 aptamer via covalent bond led to the formation of the final product β-CD-(PCL-PAEMA)21/AS1411/CPT. In vitro drug release experiment demonstrated almost 50% of CPT was released in 72 h at acidic tumoral environment. The data of cellular toxicity (MTT) showed that the final product remarkably enhanced cell death in MCF-7 and 4T1 cells while normal cells (L929) showed high viability toward the prepared complex. Also, the finding of flow cytometry analysis and fluorescence imaging indicated successful internalization of complex into the target cells but not the nontarget cells. The in vivo experiments revealed the fact that β-CD-(PCL-PAEMA)21/AS1411/CPT micelles showed high tumor inhibitory potential in comparison with free CPT. These findings exhibited the excellent ability of the novel star-like polymeric micelle with targeting agent for the targeted and effective delivery of CPT in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Functional mesoporous materials have gained tremendous attention due to their distinctive properties and potential applications. In recent decades, the self-assembly of micelles and framework precursors into mesostructures on the liquid-solid, liquid-liquid, and gas-liquid interface has been explored in the construction of functional mesoporous materials with diverse compositions, morphologies, mesostructures, and pore sizes. Compared with the one-phase solution synthetic approach, the introduction of a two-phase interface in the synthetic system changes self-assembly behaviors between micelles and framework species, leading to the possibility for the on-demand fabrication of unique mesoporous architectures. In addition, controlling the interfacial tension is critical to manipulate the self-assembly process for precise synthesis. In particular, recent breakthroughs based on the concept of the "monomicelles" assembly mechanism are very promising and interesting for the synthesis of functional mesoporous materials with the precise control. In this review, we highlight the synthetic strategies, principles, and interface engineering at the macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale for oriented interfacial assembly of functional mesoporous materials over the past 10 years. The potential applications in various fields, including adsorption, separation, sensors, catalysis, energy storage, solar cells, and biomedicine, are discussed. Finally, we also propose the remaining challenges, possible directions, and opportunities in this field for the future outlook.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer (BC), it remains a global health issue affecting millions of women annually. Poor prognosis in BC patients is often linked to drug resistance as well as the lack of effective therapeutic options for metastatic and triple-negative BC. In response to these unmet needs, extensive research efforts have been devoted to exploring the anti-BC potentials of natural products owing to their multi-target mechanisms of action and good safety profiles. Various medicinal plant extracts/essential oils and natural bioactive compounds have demonstrated anti-cancer activities in preclinical BC models. Despite the promising preclinical results, however, the clinical translation of natural products has often been hindered by their poor stability, aqueous solubility and bioavailability. There have been attempts to overcome these limitations, particularly via the use of nano-based drug delivery systems (NDDSs). This review highlights the tumour targeting mechanisms of NDDSs, the advantages and disadvantages of the major classes of NDDSs and their current clinical status in BC treatment. Besides, it also discusses the proposed anti-BC mechanisms and nanoformulations of nine medicinal plants' extracts/essential oils and nine natural bioactive compounds; selected via the screening of various scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar, based on the following keywords: "Natural Product AND Nanoparticle AND Breast Cancer". Overall, these nanoformulations exhibit improved anti-cancer efficacy against preclinical BC models, with some demonstrating biocompatibility with normal cell lines and mouse models. Further clinical studies are, however, warranted to ascertain their efficacy and biocompatibility in humans.

Abstract
Over thousands of years, natural bioactive compounds derived from plants (bioactive phytocompounds, BPCs) have been used worldwide to address human health issues. Today, they are a significant resource for drug discovery in the development of modern medicines. Although many BPCs have promising biological activities, most of them cannot be effectively utilized in drugs for therapeutic applications because of their inherent limitations of low solubility, structural instability, short half-life, poor bioavailability, and non-specific distribution to organs. Researchers have utilized emerging nanoformulation (NF) technologies to overcome these limitations as they have demonstrated great potential to improve the solubility, stability, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of BPCs. This review exemplifies NF strategies for resolving the issues associated with BPCs and summarizes recent advances in their preclinical and clinical applications for imaging and therapy. This review also highlights how innovative NF technologies play a leading role in next-generation BPC-based drug development for extended therapeutic applications. Finally, this review discusses the opportunities to take BPCs with meaningful clinical impact from bench to bedside and extend the patent life of BPC-based medicines with new formulations or application to new adjacent diseases beyond the primary drug indications. Natural bioactive phytocompounds derived from plants have been used worldwide to address human health issues. However, most of them cannot be effectively utilized in drugs for therapeutic applications because of their inherent limitations. Nanoformulation approach has recently been underlined as an emerging pharmaceutical strategy to overcome the intrinsic drawbacks of bioactive phytocompounds. Various types of nanoformulation and their up-to-date applications for targeted delivery, phototherapy, and imaging are reviewed. Finally, their clinical implications for the repurposing of bioactive phytocompounds are deliberated.

Abstract
Curcumin (CCM) is a natural hydrophobic polyphenol known for its numerous applications in the food industry as a colorant or jelly stabilizer, and in the pharmaceutical industry due to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-Alzheimer properties. However, the large application of CCM is limited by its poor solubility in water and low stability. To enhance the bioavailability of CCM, and to protect it against the external degradation agents, a novel strategy, which consists in the preparation of semi-interpenetrating polymer networks, (s-IPNs) based on poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) entrapped in poly(acrylamide) networks, by a cryogelation technique, was developed in this work. All s-IPN cryogels were characterized by SEM, EDX, FTIR, and swelling at equilibrium as a function of pH. Functionalization of semi-IPN cryogel with monochlorotriazinyl-β-cyclodextrin (MCT-β-CD) led to IPN cryogel. The release profile of CCM from the composite cryogels was investigated at 37 °C, in pH 3. It was found that the cumulative release increased with the increase of the carrier hydrophobicity, as a result of increasing the cross-linking degree, the content and the molar mass of PDMAEMA. Fitting Higuchi, Korsmeyer–Peppas, and first order kinetic models on the CCM release profiles indicated the diffusion as the main driving force of drug release from the composite cryogels.

Abstract
The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) has been demonstrated to be the main cause of cancer immunotherapy failure in various malignant tumors, due to poor immunogenicity and existence of immunosuppressive factors. Thus, establishing effective treatments for hostile TIME remodeling has considerable potential to enhance immune response rates for durable tumor growth retardation. This study aims to develop a novel nanocomposite, polyethyleneimine-modified dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles loaded with microRNA-125a (DMSN-PEI@125a) to synergistically enhance immune response and immunosuppression reversion, ultimately generating a tumoricidal environment. Our results showed that DMSN-PEI@125a exhibited excellent ability in cellular uptake by murine macrophages and the cervical cancer cell line TC-1, repolarization of tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) to M1 type in a synergistic manner, and promotion of TC-1 immunogenic death. Intratumor injection of DMSN-PEI@125a facilitated the release of more damage-related molecular patterns and enhanced the infiltration of natural killer and CD8+ T cells. Meanwhile, repolarized TAMs could function as a helper to promote antitumor immunity, thus inhibiting tumor growth in TC-1 mouse models in a collaborative manner. Collectively, this work highlights the multifunctional roles of DMSN-PEI@125a in generating an inflammatory TIME and provoking antitumor immunity, which may serve as a potential agent for cancer immunotherapy.

Cancer Therapy Challenge: It Is Time to Look in the "St. Patrick's Well" of the Nature. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms221910380. [PMID: 34638721 PMCID: PMC8508794 DOI: 10.3390/ijms221910380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Cancer still remains a leading cause of death despite improvements in diagnosis, drug discovery and therapy approach. Therefore, there is a strong need to improve methodologies as well as to increase the number of approaches available. Natural compounds of different origins (i.e., from fungi, plants, microbes, etc.) represent an interesting approach for fighting cancer. In particular, synergistic strategies may represent an intriguing approach, combining natural compounds with classic chemotherapeutic drugs to increase therapeutic efficacy and lower the required drug concentrations. In this review, we focus primarily on those natural compounds utilized in synergistic approached to treating cancer, with particular attention to those compounds that have gained the most research interest.

Abstract
This article discusses the various blood interactions that may occur with various types of nano drug-loading systems. Nanoparticles enter the blood circulation as foreign objects. On the one hand, they may cause a series of inflammatory reactions and immune reactions, resulting in the rapid elimination of immune cells and the reticuloendothelial system, affecting their durability in the blood circulation. On the other hand, the premise of the drug-carrying system to play a therapeutic role depends on whether they cause coagulation and platelet activation, the absence of hemolysis and the elimination of immune cells. For different forms of nano drug-carrying systems, we can find the characteristics, elements and coping strategies of adverse blood reactions that we can find in previous researches. These adverse reactions may include destruction of blood cells, abnormal coagulation system, abnormal effects of plasma proteins, abnormal blood cell behavior, adverse immune and inflammatory reactions, and excessive vascular stimulation. In order to provide help for future research and formulation work on the blood compatibility of nano drug carriers.

Abstract
Uniting combinational strategies has been confirmed to be a robust choice for high-performance cancer treatment due to their abilities to overcome tumor heterogeneity and complexity. However, the development of a simple, effective, and multifunctional theranostics nanoplatform still remains a challenge. In this study, we integrated multicomponent hyaluronic acid (HA), protamine (PS), nanodiamonds (NDs), curcumin (Cur), and IR780 into a single nanoplatform (denoted as HPNDIC) based on the combination of hydrophobic and electrostatic noncovalent interactions for dual-modal fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging guided ternary collaborative Cur/photothermal/photodynamic combination therapy of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). A two-step coordination assembly strategy was utilized to realize this purpose. In the first step, PS was utilized to modify the NDs clusters to form positively charged PS@NDs (PND) and the simultaneous encapsulation of the natural small-molecule drug Cur and the photosensitive small-molecule IR780 (PNDIC). Second, HA was adsorbed onto the outer surface of the PNDIC through charge complexation for endowing a tumor-targeting ability (HPNDIC). The resulting HPNDIC had a uniform size, high drug-loading ability, and excellent colloidal stability. It was found that under the near-infrared irradiation condition, IR780 could be triggered to exhibit both PTT/PDT dual-pattern therapy effects, leading to an enhanced therapy efficiency of Cur both in vitro and in vivo with good biocompatibility. Due to the intrinsic imaging property of IR780, the biodistribution and accumulation behavior of HPNDIC in vivo could be monitored by dual-modal fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging. Taken together, our current work demonstrated the assembly of a NDs-based multicomponent theranostic platform for dual-modal fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging guided triple-collaborative Cur/photothermal/photodynamic against TNBC.

Abstract
Curcumin (Cur), appeared to provide huge potential in biomedical application. However, its therapeutic efficacy was greatly limited as the result of poor solubility and instability. To address these limitations, we create a new type of hollow mesoporous titania nanoparticle (HMTN) to encapsulate Cur. HMTN was decorated with a layer of hydrophilic polyethylenimine (PEI), which controlled the release rate of Cur inside the pore due to its dendritic structure. Combined with the folic acid (FA) mediated targeting effect, the potential multifunctional Cur loaded titania nanoparticle (Cur-FA-PEI-HMTN) showed excellent biocompatibility and bioavailability, as well as the UV-responsive drug release properties. The operating parameters to prepare hollow structure were studied and the Cur-FA-PEI-HMTN nanosystem had been fully characterized by Brunauer-Emmet-Teller, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope, thermal gravity analysis, differential thermal analysis, x-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering and zeta potential. In addition, the hemolytic test, as well as CCK8, flow cytometry, Hoechst 33342 staining experiment, were carried out to confirm the low cytotoxity and high biocompatibility. The confocal microscopy analysis results also revealed the increasing uptake of Cur@FA-PEI-HMTN by MCF-7 cells. The synthesized nanoparticles displayed great potential as drug nanovehicles with high biocompatibility.

Abstract
Curcumin is a kind of anti-cancer chemotherapeutic drug and has been demonstrated to be able to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) under the stimuli of ultrasound (US). Herein, gadolinium-doped hollow mesoporous silica nanospheres (Gd-HMSNs) loaded with curcumin (Cur) and conjugated with carboxymethyl dextran (CMD) have been facilely fabricated and applied for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided synergistic cancer sonodynamic-chemotherapy. The as-prepared multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform (Cur@Gd-HMSNs-CMD) shows high drug loading capacity, satisfactory biocompatibility, pH-responsive degradation, and US-triggered drug release. Due to the release of Gd3+ ions or oligomers during degradation, the nanoplatform Cur@Gd-HMSNs-CMD could serve as an effective contrast agent for T1-weighted MRI to guide cancer treatment. More significantly, in vivo experiments show that the Cur@Gd-HMSNs-CMD can efficiently inhibit the tumor growth by a high inhibition rate of ~85.6% under US irradiation, mainly resulting from the synergistic effect of sonodynamic-chemotherapy. This innovative "two-in-one" theranostic nanoplatform using a single drug provides a new strategy for developing "all-in-one" nanomaterials for combined cancer treatment.

Abstract
Curcumin is a poly phenolic compound extracted from turmeric. Over the past years, it has acquired significant interest among researchers due to its numerous pharmacological activities like anti- cancer, anti-alzheimer, anti-diabetic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and so on. However, the clinical use of curcumin is still obstructed due to tremendously poor bioavailability, rapid metabolism, lower gastrointestinal absorption, and low permeability through cell that makes its pharmacology thrilling. These issues have led to enormous surge of investigation to develop curcumin nano formulations which can overcome these restrictive causes. The scientists all across the universe are working on designing several drug delivery systems viz. liposomes, micelles, magnetic nano carriers, etc. for curcumin and its composites which not only improve its physiochemical properties but also enhanced its therapeutic applications. The review aims to systematically examine the treasure of information about the medicinal use of curcumin. This article delivers a general idea of the current study piloted to overwhelm the complications with the bioavailability of curcumin which have exhibited an enhanced biological activity than curcumin. This article explains the latest and detailed study of curcumin and its conjugates, its phytochemistry and biological perspectives and also proved curcumin as an efficient drug candidate for the treatment of numerous diseases. Recent advancements and futuristic viewpoints are also deliberated, which shall help researchers and foster commercial translations of improved nanosized curcumin combination for the treatment of various diseases.

Abstract
To address the serious threat of bacterial infection to public health, great efforts have been devoted to the development of antimicrobial agents for inhibiting bacterial growth, preventing biofilm formation, and sterilization. Very recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials for various antimicrobial applications owing to their different functions including the controlled/stimulated decomposition of components with bactericidal activity, strong interactions with bacterial membranes, and formation of photogenerated reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as high loading and sustained releasing capacities for other antimicrobial materials. This review focuses on recent advances in the design, synthesis, and antimicrobial applications of MOF-based materials, which are classified by their roles as component-releasing (metal ions, ligands, or both), photocatalytic, and chelation antimicrobial agents as well as carriers or/and synergistic antimicrobial agents of other functional materials (antibiotics, enzymes, metals/metal oxides, carbon materials, etc.). The constituents, fundamental antimicrobial mechanisms, and evaluation of antimicrobial activities of these materials are highlighted to present the design principles of efficient MOF-based antimicrobial materials. The prospects and challenges in this research field are proposed.

Abstract
Design and development of novel inorganic nanocarriers for encapsulation of natural antimicrobial substances for food packaging applications have received great interest during the last years. Natural nanoclays are the most investigated nanocarriers and recently interest has also grown in the synthetically produced porous silica particles. However, these different carrier matrices have not been compared in terms of their loading capability and subsequent release. In this study, the feasibility of porous silica particles (with different pore structures and/or surface functionalities) and commercially available nanoclays were evaluated as encapsulation matrices. Two well-studied antimicrobial substances, thymol and curcumin, were chosen as volatile and non-volatile model compounds, respectively. The encapsulation efficiency, and the subsequent dispersibility and release, of these substances differed significantly among the nanocarriers. Encapsulation of the volatile compound highly depends on the inner surface area, i.e., the protective pore environment, and an optimal nanocarrier can protect the encapsulated thymol from volatilization. For the non-volatile compound, only the release rate and dispersibility are affected by the pore structure. Further, water-activated release of the volatile compound was demonstrated and exhibited good antimicrobial efficacy in the vapor phase against Staphylococcus aureus. This comparative study can provide a base for selecting the right nanocarrier aimed at a specific food packaging application. No nanocarrier can be considered as a universally applicable one.

Abstract
Natural prodrugs derived from different natural origins (e.g., medicinal plants, microbes, animals) have a long history in traditional medicine. They exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities, including anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo. They have potential as safe, cost-effective treatments with few side effects, but are lacking in solubility, bioavailability, specific targeting and have short half-lives. These are barriers to clinical application. Nanomedicine has the potential to offer solutions to circumvent these limitations and allow the use of natural pro-drugs in cancer therapy. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) of various morphology have attracted considerable attention in the search for targeted drug delivery systems. MSNs are characterized by chemical stability, easy synthesis and functionalization, large surface area, tunable pore sizes and volumes, good biocompatibility, controlled drug release under different conditions, and high drug-loading capacity, enabling multifunctional purposes. In vivo pre-clinical evaluations, a significant majority of results indicate the safety profile of MSNs if they are synthesized in an optimized way. Here, we present an overview of synthesis methods, possible surface functionalization, cellular uptake, biodistribution, toxicity, loading strategies, delivery designs with controlled release, and cancer targeting and discuss the future of anticancer nanotechnology-based natural prodrug delivery systems.

Abstract
Simultaneous drug and gene delivery to cancer cells has been introduced to provide advantages of the synergistic effects of gene to sensitize the cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agent. In the current study, nucleolin-targeted co-delivery system, based on PEGylated rod-shaped mesoporous silica NPs was developed as a biocompatible nanocarrier for simultaneous delivery of camptothecin and survivin shRNA-expressing plasmid (iSur-DNA) to colon adenocarcinoma. The structural characterization including hydrodynamic radius and morphological characteristics of the prepared system demonstrated the mesoporous rod-shaped structure of the prepared system with 100-150 nm diameter. Camptothecin was loaded into the rod-shaped MSN NPs with encapsulation efficiency of 32%. At the next stage, the prepared camptothecin-loaded system was PEGylated and then iSur-DNA was condensed with C/P ratio of 6 to form PEG@MSNR-CPT/Sur. Then, the prepared camptothecin-iSur-DNA loaded PEGylated rod-shaped mesoporous silica NPs were tagged with AS1411 DNA aptamer (Apt-PEG@MSNR-CPT/Sur) in order to provide selective therapy against colorectal adenocarcinoma. The obtained results showed that the prepared platform controlled the release of anticancer drug, camptothecin. The experimental results indicated potent synergistic effect of iSur-pDNA and CPT in in vitro cytotoxicity, apoptosis induction and in vivo antitumor effect. In addition, tagging the system with AS1411 DNA aptamer facilitated drug uptake into nucleolin positive colorectal cancer cells leading to higher cellular toxicity and apoptosis induction in C26 cells compared to nucleolin-negative CHO cell line. Apt-PEG@MSNR-CPT/Sur system significantly supressed tumor growth rate in C26 tumor bearing mice while improving survival rate and pharmacokinetics of the platform in comparison with PEG@MSNR-CPT and PEG@MSNR-CPT/Sur. It could be concluded that the developed nucelolin targeted nanomedicine for co-delivery of camptothecin and iSur-DNA could serve as a versatile nanotherapeutic system against colorectal cancer.

Abstract
The synthesis, characterization and cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines of various mesoporous silica-based materials containing folate targeting moieties and a cytotoxic fragment based on a triphenyltin(IV) derivative have been studied. Two different mesoporous nanostructured silica systems have been used: firstly, micronic silica particles of the MSU-2 type and, secondly, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) of about 80 nm. Both series of materials have been characterized by different methods, such as powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, absorption spectroscopy and microscopy. In addition, these systems have been tested against four different cancer cell lines, namely, OVCAR-3, DLD-1, A2780 and A431, in order to observe if the size of the silica-based systems and the quantity of incorporated folic acid influence their cytotoxic action. The results show that the materials are more active when the quantity of folic acid is higher, especially in those cells that overexpress folate receptors such as OVCAR-3 and DLD-1. In addition, the study of the potential modulation of the soluble folate receptor alpha (FOLR1) by treatment with the synthesized materials has been carried out using OVCAR-3, DLD-1, A2780 and A431 tumour cell lines. The results show that a relatively high concentration of folic acid functionalization of the nanostructured silica together with the incorporation of the cytotoxic tin fragment leads to an increase in the quantity of the soluble FOLR1 secreted by the tumour cells. In addition, the studies reported here show that this increase of the soluble FOLR1 occurs presumably by cutting the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor of membrane FR-α and by the release of intracellular FR-α. This study validates the potential use of a combination of mesoporous silica materials co-functionalized with folate targeting molecules and an organotin(IV) drug as a strategy for the therapeutic treatment of several cancer cells overexpressing folate receptors.

Abstract
Dendritic large-pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DLMSN) is an important biodegradable drug carrier due to its high porosity, which can be prepared by coassembly of a major template and an auxiliary template in aqueous solution, followed by hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The auxiliary template is key to obtaining dendritic large-pore structures; however, how to choose the auxiliary template to obtain the desired pore structure is largely unknown. This is because the formation mechanism of DLMSN is still not clear. In this study, a series of therapeutic agent molecules were used as the auxiliary templates to study the control of the pore morphology of DLMSN. Transmission electron microscopy observation and theoretical modeling were used to study the micelle formation, and early stage silica formation was also observed. It is proposed that the silica branches and sheets formed by hydrolysis of TEOS on single micelle and micelle bundles, which formed the initial nanoparticles with spherical structures and new silica species growing on the early formed particles to form DLMSN. The fine control of pore morphology was demonstrated by using auxiliary templates with different structural characteristics, which were used for selective drug loading. This work provides a design strategy of how to choose suitable auxiliary templates for preparing DLMSN with desired pore structure for biomedical applications.
