Abstract
Over the past few decades, sophisticated nanomaterials have been used as carries for the targeted delivery of therapeutics to solid tumors. However, the low efficiency of intracellular internalization of nanocarriers in current use restricts their biomedical application. In this work, we demonstrate that novel virus-bionic mesoporous-silica-based nanocarriers can be successfully prepared for programmed precise drug delivery. These unique viral mimic nanovesicles not only present virus bionic counterparts and nanostructures, but also have infectious virus-like properties toward tumor cells and tumor tissues. Encouragingly, their large surface area (322.1 m2 /g) endows them with high loading capacity for therapeutic agents, especially, they have more effective gene transfection properties than the commercially available LipoGeneTM transfection reagent. Thanks to their virus-inspired morphology, they exhibit outstanding cellular uptake efficiency with living tumor cells and the ability to invade cells in large quantities with incubation times as short as 5 min, which is much faster than traditional mesoporous silica nanoparticles (mSN) with smooth appearance. Importantly, after doxorubicin (DOX) loading and surface modification of tumor recognition motifs, RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp, vMN@DOX-RGD), the bionic drug-loaded viral mimics elicit potent tumor cell elimination both in vitro and in vivo, greatly exceeding the mSN-based group. Our work paves the way toward virus bionic nanocarrier design for malignant tumor suppression in the clinic.

Mater Today Bio 2022; 16:100359. [PMID: 35937575 PMCID: PMC9352966 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2022.100359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) is intently related to tumor growth, progression and invasion, leading to drug resistance and insufficient therapeutic efficacy. However, remodeling TME and utilizing TME for exploring intelligent nanomaterials that can realize tumor theranostic is still challenging. Nowadays, the theranostic based on chemotherapy exposes some deficiencies, such as low targeting, weak permeability and premature clearance. Furthermore, it is challenging to cure drug-resistant tumors effectively. For the sake of solving these problems, a biomimetic decomposable nano-theranostic (MMV-Au-CDs-DOX) was well-established in this work. The Au-CDs are coated with macrophage-derived microvesicle to realize drug release accurately and enhance the biocompatibility of internal nanoparticles. Furthermore, MMV-Au-CDs-DOX would locate in the inflammation position of tumor, and disintegrate correspondingly into pieces with certain different functions stimulated by TME. Subsequently, the released anti-tumor nanodrugs were used for multimodal therapy, including chemotherapy and hemodynamic therapy. In addition, combined with the ability of Au-CDs to recognize GSH specifically, the off-on fluorescent probe was constructed to monitor the GSH of tumor cells and provided information on chemotherapy resistance.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharide structures that could be used for theranostic applications in personalized medicine. These compounds have been widely utilized not only for enhancing drug solubility, stability, and bioavailability but also for controlled and targeted delivery of small molecules. These compounds can be complexed with various biomolecules, such as peptides or proteins, via host-guest interactions. CDs are amphiphilic compounds with water-hating holes and water-absorbing surfaces. Architectures of CDs allow the drawing and preparation of CD-based polymers (CDbPs) with optimal pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. These polymers can be cloaked with protein corona consisting of adsorbed plasma or extracellular proteins to improve nanoparticle biodistribution and half-life. Besides, CDs have become famous in applications ranging from biomedicine to environmental sciences. In this review, we emphasize ongoing research in biomedical fields using CD-based centered, pendant, and terminated polymers and their interactions with protein corona for theranostic applications. Overall, a perusal of information concerning this novel approach in biomedicine will help to implement this methodology based on host-guest interaction to improve therapeutic and diagnostic strategies.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising solution to permanent elimination of cancer. However, nanoparticles themselves lack specificity to tumors. Due to enhanced migration to tumors, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were suggested as cell-mediated delivery vehicles of nanoparticles. In this study, we have constructed a complex composed of photoluminescent quantum dots (QDs) and a photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) to obtain multifunctional nanoparticles, combining cancer diagnostic and therapeutic properties. QDs serve as energy donors-excited QDs transfer energy to the attached Ce6 via Förster resonance energy transfer, which in turn generates reactive oxygen species. Here, the physicochemical properties of the QD-Ce6 complex and singlet oxygen generation were measured, and the stability in protein-rich media was evaluated, showing that the complex remains the most stable in protein-free medium. In vitro studies on MSC and cancer cell response to the QD-Ce6 complex revealed the complex-loaded MSCs' potential to transport theranostic nanoparticles and induce cancer cell death. In vivo studies proved the therapeutic efficacy, as the survival of tumor-bearing mice was statistically significantly increased, while tumor progression and metastases were slowed down.

Abstract
The most efficient approach for cancer identification and monitoring is the detection of cancer-associated protein biomarkers but an accurate diagnosis requires multiple analyses. Glycosylation profiling can provide important biological information since different glycoforms are involved in malignant transformation. Here, a near-infrared (NIR) light activated fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) strategy for the efficient and reliable simultaneous dual imaging of the mucin 1 (MUC1) protein backbone and MUC1-specific sialic acid (Sia) is reported. MUC1, an important tumor biomarker, is overexpressed and under-glycosylated in most tumor cells. Two aptamer-functionalized nanoprobes, Cy5-labeled Sia aptamer-functionalized gold nanostars (Sia-GNSs) and MUC1 aptamer-functionalized quantum dots (MUC1-QDs), were successfully constructed with high specificity and biocompatibility. Upon excitation with NIR light, Sia-GNSs endothermically released the Cy5-labeled Sia aptamer that specifically binds to Sia. The Cy5 fluorescence can be observed due to the FRET effect when the Cy5-labeled Sia aptamer and MUC1-QDs bind to the same MUC1 molecule. Dual imaging and relative quantification of MUC1 and its sialylation were achieved in vitro, in vivo and in clinical tissue samples. This efficient platform allows for the simultaneous detection of protein biomarkers and their glycosylation pattern, with significant potential for clinical cancer diagnostics.

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.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins are well known supramolecular hosts used in a wide range of applications. Monosubstitution of native cyclodextrins in the position C-6 of a glucose unit represents the simplest method how to achieve covalent binding of a well-defined host unit into the more complicated systems. These derivatives are relatively easy to prepare; that is why the number of publications describing their preparations exceeds 1400, and the reported synthetic methods are often very similar. Nevertheless, it might be very demanding to decide which of the published methods is the best one for the intended purpose. In the review, we aim to present only the most useful and well-described methods for preparing different types of mono-6-substituted derivatives. We also discuss the common problems encountered during their syntheses and suggest their optimal solutions.

Abstract
Multi-functionality has been a constant pursuit in the development of next-generation drug carriers, as it will bring the potential for combination therapy by integrating diverse therapeutic modes. In this work, FeSe2 nanosheets (NSs) have been prepared as a bifunctional platform to investigate their use in synergistic cancer therapy. Bifunctional FeSe2 NSs exhibit exceptional Fenton-like activity that generates cytotoxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) and strong broad photothermal performance including the second-infrared (NIR-II) spectral range, wherein the ˙OH production can be enhanced by NIR-II light irradiation. Furthermore, doxorubicin (DOX) was conjugated onto NSs via a pH-responsive hydrazone bond to achieve preferential drug release in an acidic microenvironment. Upon intratumoral administration, these bifunctional drug-carrying FeSe2 NSs showed an NIR-II irradiation-reinforced strong tumor suppression effect, and no obvious toxicity to normal tissues was observed. This study provides a new paradigm for the design of advanced drug carriers relying on their inherent physicochemical properties.

Abstract
Carbonized polymer dots (CPDs), as a novel fluorescent material, have broad application prospects in the fields of bio-imaging, bio-sensors, disease diagnosis and photovoltaic devices due to their low cost, low toxicity, easy modification and little environmental impact. In this paper, folic acid (FA) modified CPDs (FA-CPDs) are synthesized from p-Phenylenediamine (p-PD) and FA molecules using a traditional one pot hydrothermal reaction in order to detect cancer cells containing a folate receptor (FR). The synthesized FA-CPDs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transfrom infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, UV-vis and fluorescence techniques. The red fluorescence emission is realized by doping phosphorus atoms into the carbonized polymer. Upon excitation at 513 nm, the maximum emission wavelength of FA-CPDs aqueous solution was obtained at 613 nm. Moreover, the as-prepared FA-CPDs exhibit excellent excitation-independent behavior and good stability with high quantum yield (QY) at about 30.6%. The binding of FA-CPDs with FRs on cancer cells produces target recognition and enters the cells through endocytosis. Additionally, it is worth noting that FA-CPDs have good biocompatibility and imaging in HeLa cells has been successfully achieved. Therefore, our FA-CPDs have potential applications as biocompatibility probes for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Progress in nanotechnology has enabled us to open many new fronts in biomedical research by exploiting the peculiar properties of materials at the nanoscale. The thermal sensitivity of certain materials is a highly valuable property because it can be exploited in many promising applications, such as thermo-sensitive drug or gene delivery systems, thermotherapy, thermal biosensors, imaging, and diagnosis. This review focuses on recent advances in thermo-sensitive nanomaterials of interest in biomedical applications. We provide an overview of the different kinds of thermoresponsive nanomaterials, discussing their potential and the physical mechanisms behind their thermal response. We thoroughly review their applications in biomedicine and finally discuss the current challenges and future perspectives of thermal therapies.
