[PMID: 38681568 PMCID: PMC11053292 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29866] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective alternative to surgery for managing some malignant solid tumors. However, for medium-to-large tumors (>3 cm), tumors adjacent to large blood vessels, and certain irregular tumors, sublethal radiofrequency hyperthermia (RFH) often produces a margin of ablated tumor owing to the "heat-sink" effect. This effect typically leaves behind viable residual tumors at the margin. Several studies have reported that a sublethal RFH can significantly enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy for malignant solid tumors. The possible mechanisms by which RFH enhances these therapies include heat-induced tissue fracturing, increased permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane, exaggerated cellular metabolism, blockade of the repair pathways of radiation-damaged tumor cells, and activation of the heat shock protein pathways. Therefore, RFA in combination with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or gene therapy may help reduce the rates of residual and recurrent tumors after RFA of malignant solid tumors.

Abstract
Noninterventional embolization does not require the use of a catheter, and the treatment of solid tumors in combination with thermal ablation can avoid some of the risks of the surgical procedure. Therefore, we developed an efficient tumor microenvironment-gelled nanocomposites with poly [(l-glutamic acid-ran-l-tyrosine)-b-l-serine-b-l-cysteine] (PGTSCs) coated-nanoparticles (Fe3O4&Au@PGTSCs), from which the prepared PGTSCs were given possession of pH response to an acidic tumor microenvironment. Fe3O4&Au@PGTSC in noninterventional embolization treatment not only achieved the smart targeted medicine delivery but also meshed with noninvasive multimodal thermal ablation therapy and multimodal imaging of solid tumors via intravenous injection. It was worth noting that the results of animal experiments in vivo demonstrated that Fe3O4&Au@PGTSCs have specific tumor accumulation and embolization and thermal ablation effects; at 10 days postinjection, only scars were found at the tumor site. After 20 days, the tumors of model mice completely disappeared. This device is easier to treat solid tumors based on the slightly acidic tumor environment.

Sensitization of glioblastoma cancer cells to radiotherapy and magnetic hyperthermia by targeted temozolomide-loaded magnetite tri-block copolymer nanoparticles as a nanotheranostic agent. Life Sci 2022; 306:120729. [PMID: 35753439 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2022.120729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Recently, the development of new strategies in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer cells such as thermo-radiation-sensitizer and theranostic agents have received a great deal of attention. In this work, folic acid-conjugated temozolomide-loaded SPION@PEG-PBA-PEG nanoparticles (TMZ-MNP-FA NPs) were proposed for use as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents and to enhance the cytotoxic effects of hyperthermia and radiotherapy. MAIN METHODS Nanoparticles were synthesized by the Nano-precipitation method and their characteristics were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). To evaluate the thermo-radio-sensitization effects of NPs, C6 cells were treated with nanoparticles for 24 h and then exposed to 6-MV X-ray radiation. After radiotherapy, the cells were subjected to an alternating magnetic field (AMF) hyperthermia. The therapeutic potential was assessed using clonogenic assay, ROS generation measurement, flow cytometry assay, and qRT-PCR analysis. Also, the diagnostic properties of the nanoparticles were assessed by MRI. KEY FINDINGS MRI scanning indicated that nanoparticles accumulated in C6 cells could be tracked by T2-weighted MR imaging. Colony formation assay proved that TMZ-MNP-FA NPs enhanced the anti-proliferation effects of AMF by 1.94-fold compared to AMF alone (P < 0.0001). Moreover, these NPs improved the radiation effects with a dose enhancement factor of 1.65. All results showed that the combination of carrier-based chemotherapy with hyperthermia and radiotherapy caused a higher anticancer efficacy than single- or two-modality treatments. SIGNIFICANCE The nanoparticles advanced in this study can be proposed as the promising theranostic and thermo-radio-sensitizer platform for the diagnosis and tri-modal synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Interventional embolization and minimally invasive thermal ablation are common clinical methods for treatment of unresectable solid tumors, but they both have many insurmountable disadvantages. Inspired by pH-responsive drug delivery systems, we report the tumor microenvironment-gelled nanocomposites with poly[(l-glutamic acid-ran-l-tyrosine)-b-l-threonine-b-l-cysteine]s (PGTTCs) coating nanoparticles (NPs, Au or Fe3O4) for noninterventional targeted embolization combined with noninvasive thermal ablation therapy of solid tumors by intravenous injection without catheter use. The results of the animal trial in vivo with tumor-bearing mice and rabbits showed superior targeted embolization and therapy and fluorescence/single-photon emission computed tomography/magnetic resonance multimodal imaging effects. Tumors treated with NPs@PGTTCs were shrunken and necrotized within 30 days, the long-term survival rate was more than 80%, and the same effects can be achieved within 15 days when combined with thermal ablation. The method is so simple and efficient for many hard-to-treat tumors within an acidic microenvironment, which is not only a great improvement and innovation in tumor theranostics but also an important development in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Tumor theranostics hold great potential for personalized medicine in the future, and transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is an important clinical treatment for unresectable or hypervascular tumors. In order to break the limitation, simplify the procedure of TAE, and achieve ideal combinatorial theranostic capability, here, a kind of triblock-polypeptide-coated perfluoropentane-loaded mesoporous Fe3O4 nanocomposites (PFP-m-Fe3O4@PGTTCs) were prepared for non-interventional target-embolization, magnetic hyperthermia, and multimodal imaging combination theranostics of solid tumors. The results of systematic animal experiments by H22-tumor-bearing mice and VX2-tumor-bearing rabbits in vivo indicated that PFP-m-Fe3O4@PGTTC-6.3 has specific tumor accumulation and embolization effects. The tumors' growth has been inhibited and the tumors disappeared 4 weeks and ≤15 days post-injection with embolization and magnetic hyperthermia combination therapy, respectively. The results also showed an excellent effect of magnetic resonance/ultrasound/SPECT multimodal imaging. This pH-responsive non-interventional embolization combinatorial theranostics system provides a novel embolization and multifunctional theranostic candidate for solid tumors.

Acid-Sphingomyelinase Triggered Fluorescently Labeled Sphingomyelin Containing Liposomes in Tumor Diagnosis after Radiation-Induced Stress. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22083864.

Abstract
In liposomal delivery, a big question is how to release the loaded material into the correct place. Here, we will test the targeting and release abilities of our sphingomyelin-consisting liposome. A change in release parameters can be observed when sphingomyelin-containing liposome is treated with sphingomyelinase enzyme. Sphingomyelinase is known to be endogenously released from the different cells in stress situations. We assume the effective enzyme treatment will weaken the liposome making it also leakier. To test the release abilities of the SM-liposome, we developed several fluorescence-based experiments. In in vitro studies, we used molecular quenching to study the sphingomyelinase enzyme-based release from the liposomes. We could show that the enzyme treatment releases loaded fluorescent markers from sphingomyelin-containing liposomes. Moreover, the release correlated with used enzymatic activities. We studied whether the stress-related enzyme expression is increased if the cells are treated with radiation as a stress inducer. It appeared that the radiation caused increased enzymatic activity. We studied our liposomes’ biodistribution in the animal tumor model when the tumor was under radiation stress. Increased targeting of the fluorescent marker loaded to our liposomes could be found on the site of cancer. The liposomal targeting in vivo could be improved by radiation. Based on our studies, we propose sphingomyelin-containing liposomes can be used as a controlled release system sensitive to cell stress.

Abstract
Localized hyperthermia is a very promising cancer therapy approach especially when stimulated by the exceptional properties of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). This approach is a highly site-specific method for localized heating of bodily tissue without any harmful side effects that could revolutionize the practice of cancer therapy. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the cancer cell-destroying capability of MNPs in combination with ultrasound treatment as an innovative sonomagnetic cancer therapy. Magnetic nanofluids (MNFs) were synthesized by co-precipitation/sonochemical techniques in an aqueous medium without any surfactant and/or capping agent. The physicochemical characteristics of the prepared MNFs were investigated with scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared and vibrating sample magnetometry. The MNFs was used as a mediator and sonosensitizer to destroy tumor tissue when irradiated by ultrasound waves. The antitumor efficiency of MNFs in combination with pulsed ultrasound (1.5 W/cm2, 1 MHz) was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. In vitro efficacy was estimated by determining the cell viability of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells. For in vivo experiments, female mice were inoculated subcutaneously with Ehrlich carcinoma cells to establish solid Ehrlich carcinoma. The cytotoxic concentration of MNFs (400 µg/mL) was injected intratumorally and exposed to pulsed ultrasound (1.5 W/cm2, 1 MHz). The cytotoxic effect was determined in terms of tumor growth rate, apoptosis and necrosis. Our results revealed that MNFs in the presence of pulsed ultrasound cause a significant increase in the cytotoxicity effect on tumor cells. This study illustrates the high efficiency of cancer therapy as assisted by both ultrasound and magnetic nanofluid.

Abstract
This study explores the use of differential heating of magnetic nanoparticles with different sizes and compositions (MFe2O4 (M = Fe, Co)) for heteroplexed temporal controlled release of conjugated fluorophores from the surface of nanoparticles. By exploiting these differences, we were able to control the amount of hysteretic heating occurring with the distinct sets of magnetic nanoparticles using the same applied alternating magnetic field radio frequency (AMF-RF). Using thermally labile retro-Diels-Alder linkers conjugated to the surface of nanoparticles, the fluorescent payload from the different nanoparticles disengaged when sufficient energy was locally generated during hysteretic heating. 1H, 13C NMR, ESI-MS, and SIMS characterized the thermally responsive fluorescent cycloadducts used in this study; the Diels Alder cycloadducts were modeled using density functional theory (DFT) computations. The localized point heating of the different nanoparticle compositions drove the retro-Diels-Alder reaction at different times resulting in higher release rates of fluorophores from the CoFe2O4 compared to the Fe3O4 nanoparticles.

Abstract
Introduction Advanced tumor-targeted theranostic nanoparticles play a key role in tumor diagnosis and treatment research. In this study, we developed a multifunctional theranostic platform based on an amphiphilic hyaluronan/poly-(N-ε-carbobenzyloxy-L-lysine) derivative (HA-g-PZLL), superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) nanoparticles for tumor-targeted magnetic resonance (MR) and fluorescence (FL) dual-modal image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT). Materials and Methods The amphiphilic hyaluronan acid (HA) derivative HA-g-PZLL was synthesized by grafting hydrophobic poly-(N-ε-carbobenzyloxy-L-lysine) (PZLL) blocks onto hyaluronic acid by a click conjugation reaction. The obtained HA-g-PZLLs self-assembled into nanoparticles in the presence of AIE molecules and SPIO nanoparticles to produce tumor-targeted theranostic nanoparticles (SPIO/AIE@HA-g-PZLLs) with MR/FL dual-modal imaging ability. Cellular uptake of the theranostic nanoparticles was traced by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), flow cytometry and Prussian blue staining. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation characteristics of the theranostic nanoparticles were evaluated with CLSM and flow cytometry. The effect of PDT was evaluated by cytotoxicity assay. The dual-mode imaging ability of the nanoparticles was evaluated by a real-time near-infrared fluorescence imaging system and magnetic resonance imaging scanning. Results The resulting theranostic nanoparticles not only emit red fluorescence for high-quality intracellular tracing but also effectively produce singlet oxygen for photodynamic tumor therapy. In vitro cytotoxicity experiments showed that these theranostic nanoparticles can be efficiently taken up and are mainly present in the cytoplasm of HepG2 cells. After internalization, these theranostic nanoparticles showed serious cytotoxicity to the growth of HepG2 cells after white light irradiation. Discussion This work provides a simple method for the preparation of theranostic nanoparticles with AIE characteristics and MR contrast enhancement, and serves as a dual-modal imaging platform for image-guided tumor PDT.

Abstract
Zn0.5Fe2.5O4 nanoparticles (NPs) of 22 nm are synthesized by a one-pot approach and coated with silica for magnetic hyperthermia agents. The NPs exhibit superparamagnetic characteristics, high-specific absorption rate (SAR) (1083 wg-1, f = 430 kHz, H = 27 kAm-1), large saturation magnetization (M s = 85 emu g-1), excellent colloidal stability and low cytotoxicity. The cell uptake properties have been investigated by Prussian blue staining, transmission electron microscopy and the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer, which resulted in time-dependent and concentration-dependent internalization. The internalization appeared between 0.5 and 2 h, the NPs were mainly located in the lysosomes and kept in good dispersion after incubation with human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells. Then, the relationship between cell uptake and magnetic hyperthermia performance was studied. Our results show that the hyperthermia efficiency was related to the amount of internalized NPs in the tumour cells, which was dependent on the concentration and incubation time. Interestingly, the NPs could still induce tumour cells to apoptosis/necrosis when extracellular NPs were rinsed, but the cell kill efficiency was lower than that of any rinse group, which indicated that local temperature rise was the main factor that induced tumour cells to death. Our findings suggest that this high SAR and biocompatible silica-coated Zn0.5Fe2.O4 NPs could serve as new agents for magnetic hyperthermia.

Abstract
Serious side effects to surrounding normal tissues and unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy hamper the further clinic applications of conventional cancer-therapeutic strategies, such as chemotherapy and surgery. The fast development of nanotechnology provides unprecedented superiorities for cancer therapeutics. Externally activatable therapeutic modalities mediated by nanomaterials, relying on highly effective energy transformation to release therapeutic elements/effects (cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, thermal effect, photoelectric effect, Compton effect, cavitation effect, mechanical effect or chemotherapeutic drug) for cancer therapies, categorized and termed as "energy-converting nanomedicine," have arouse considerable concern due to their noninvasiveness, desirable tissue-penetration depth, and accurate modulation of therapeutic dose. This review summarizes the recent advances in the engineering of intelligent functional nanotherapeutics for energy-converting nanomedicine, including photo-based, radiation-based, ultrasound-based, magnetic field-based, microwave-based, electric field-based, and radiofrequency-based nanomedicines, which are enabled by external stimuli (light, radiation, ultrasound, magnetic field, microwave, electric field, and radiofrequency). Furthermore, biosafety issues of energy-converting nanomedicine related to future clinical translation are also addressed. Finally, the potential challenges and prospects of energy-converting nanomedicine for future clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) always causes tumor hypoxia aggravation which can induce malignant cell proliferation and drug resistance. To overcome these disadvantages, a cascaded drug delivery system (Lipo/HMME/ACF@MnO2 -AS1411) is constructed for synergistic enhanced sonodynamic therapy. First, hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) and acriflavine (ACF) are encapsulated in the lipid layers and the inner aqueous cores of the liposomes, respectively. Then the ultrathin manganese dioxide (MnO2 ) nanosheets are coated on the surface of the liposomes by using KMnO4 and polyethylene glycol through "one step reduction and modification" method. Furthermore, the nanoparticles are decorated with tumor-targeting AS1411 aptamer through the phosphate groups on the DNA strand which can bind to Mn sites to obtain Lipo/HMME/ACF@MnO2 -AS1411 delivery system. Herein, HMME can act as a sonosensitizer, and ACF is used to prevent the formation of HIF-1α/HIF-1β dimerization to overcome the negative effects after SDT. The Lipo/HMME/ACF@MnO2 -AS1411 delivery system has multiple functions, including codelivery of HMME and ACF, pH/glutathione/ultrasound triple responses, synergistic cascaded enhancement of SDT, precise tumor-targeting, and magnetic resonance imaging. The in vitro and in vivo results suggest that the Lipo/HMME/ACF@MnO2 -AS1411 delivery system is a promising core-shell nanoplatform for synergistic enhancement of sonodynamic therapy, which can provide a new approach in the related research fields.

Abstract
Combination therapy with multiple drugs or/and multiple assistant treatments has become a hot spot in cancer therapy. In this study, a new type of core-shell structured dual-drug delivery system based on poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA, inner cores) and hyaluronic acid (HA, outer shells) was constructed. Firstly, HA was conjugated to PLGA for preparation of HA-PLGA block copolymer. Secondly, 5-amino levulinic acid (ALA) was connected to PLGA through a pH-sensitive hydrazone bond for synthesization of PLGA-HBA-ALA. Finally, the core-shell structured nanoparticles (HA-PLGA@ART/ALA NPs) were constructed by self-assembled method for artemisinin (ART) loading in PLGA cores. In this co-delivery system, ALA and ART can be released in a manner of procedural controlled release. ALA was released from the NPs at first though the pH sensitive hydrazone bond cleavage in order to generate protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) for heme formation. And the increase of heme can effectively improve the curative effect of the subsequent released ART. Furthermore, this system has also shown obvious sonodynaimc activity which can be used for cancer sonodynamic combination therapy. The in vitro and in vivo anticancer results demonstrate that HA-PLGA@ART/ALA delivery system could provide a prospective comprehensive treatment strategy for cancer therapy.

Abstract
By targeting CD44 receptors, inhibiting multidrug resistance (MDR), controlling drug release, and synergistically inhibiting tumor growth, a multilayered nanosystem was developed to serve as a multifunctional platform for the treatment of drug-resistant breast cancers. The multilayer nanosystem is composed of a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) core, a liposome second layer, and a chitosan third layer. The chitosan-multilayered nanoparticles (Ch-MLNPs) can co-deliver three chemotherapeutic agents: doxorubicin (DOX), paclitaxel (PTX), and silybin. The three drugs are released from the multilayered NPs in a controlled and sequential manner upon internalization and localization in the cellular endosomes. The presence of a chitosan layer allows the nanosystem to target a well-characterized MDR breast cancer biomarker, the CD44s receptor. In vitro cytotoxicity study showed that the nanosystem loaded with triple drugs, DOX-PTX-silybin, resulted in better antitumor efficacy than the single-drug or dual-drug nano-formulations. Likely attributed to the MDR-inhibition effect of silybin, the co-delivered DOX and PTX exhibited a better synergistic effect on MDR breast cancer cells than on non-MDR breast cancer cells. The in vivo study also showed that the multilayered nanosystem promoted MDR inhibition and synergy between chemotherapeutic agents, leading to significant tumor reduction in a xenograft animal model. Ch-MLNPs reduced the tumor volume by fivefold compared to that of the control group without causing overt cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Herein, a pH/ultrasound dual-responsive gas generator is reported, which is based on mesoporous calcium carbonate (MCC) nanoparticles by loading sonosensitizer (hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME)) and modifying surface hyaluronic acid (HA). After pinpointing tumor regions with prominent targeting efficiency, HMME/MCC-HA decomposes instantaneously under the cotriggering of tumoral inherent acidic condition and ultrasound (US) irradiation, concurrently accompanying with CO2 generation and HMME release with spatial/temporal resolution. Afterward, the CO2 bubbling and bursting effect under US stimulus results in cavitation-mediated irreversible cell necrosis, as well as the blood vessel destruction to further occlude the blood supply, providing a "bystander effect." Meanwhile, reactive oxygen species generated from HMME can target the apoptotic pathways for effective sonodynamic therapy. Thus, the combination of apoptosis/necrosis with multimechanisms consequently results in a remarkable antitumor therapeutic efficacy, simultaneously minimizing the side effects on major organs. Moreover, the echogenic property of CO2 make the nanoplatform as a powerful ultrasound contrast agent to identify cancerous lesions. Based on the above findings, such all-in-one drug delivery platform of HMME/MCC-HA is utilized to provide the US imaging guidance for therapeutic inertial cavitation and sonodynamic therapy simultaneously, which highlights possibilities of advancing cancer theranostics in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Local hyperthermia (HT), particularly in conjunction with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy was useful for the treatment of human malignant tumors including head and neck cancer. However, at present it suffered from many limitations such as thermal dose control, target treatment regions and discrimination between healthy and cancer cells. Recent developments in nanotechnology have introduced novel and smart therapeutic nanomaterials to local HT of head and neck cancer that basically take advantage of various targeting approaches. The aim of this paper is to give a brief review of the mechanism, methods and clinical applications of local HT in head and neck cancer, mainly focusing on photothermal therapy (PTT) and nanoparticle-based hyperthermia.

Abstract
Because of the complications and mutability of cancers, combination of chemotherapy and other therapy with multi-mechanisms would be a bright future for the treatment of cancer. Thus, development of multi-functional tumor-targeted drug delivery systems with two or more than two functions should be of great significance. In the study, the Fe3O4@C nanoparticles linked with thermoresponsive copolymer (MTC-NPs) were synthesized, after that, the magnetic properties and photothermal effects of MTC NPs were evaluated. Compared to the pure water, MTC-NPs absorbed more energy and transform it into heat under the 808 nm laser irradiation, and the temperature could increase over 60℃. In addition, the grafted copolymer with coil-to-globule transition acts as a gatekeeper for the temperature-controlled release of mitoxantrone molecules. The super paramagnetic behavior of MTC-NPs certified by the hysteresis loop gives a negligible coercivity at room temperature. Both in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that the synergistic combination of magnetic targeting, drug controlled release, and thermochemotherapy improve the anti-tumor efficacy with lower side effects. This nanoparticle is a great potential drug carrier in anti-tumor drugs, which can improve the effect of hyperthermia, increase target distribution in tumor, and enhance curative effect for tumor while reducing normal tissue toxicity.

Abstract
The chelate copper-based anticancer drug bleomycin (BLM) is usually believed to bind metal ions especially Cu(ii) to generate the "activated BLM" for DNA cleavage. Herein, BLM and L-menthol (LM) co-loaded hollow mesoporous Cu2-xS nanoparticles (HMCu2-xS NPs) with surface folic acid (FA) modification were formulated to construct an intelligent NIR-responsive nanoplatform for synergistic tumor targeted chemo-phototherapy. With the tumor targeting ability of the folate receptor (FR)-positive, FA-HMCu2-xS/BLM/LM could pinpoint tumor cells efficiently. Under NIR irradiation, the versatile HMCu2-xS would be bound to exploit the merits of phototherapy (including PTT and PDT-like effects) for cancer treatment. Meanwhile, benefiting from the controllable "solid-liquid" (S-L) phase transition feature of LM as a gatekeeper, FA-HMCu2-xS/BLM/LM offered a platform for simultaneous NIR-mediated temperature-responsive BLM and copper ion release, which further initiated the generation of the "activated BLM". As a matter of course, the remarkable synergistic combination of Cu-dependent chemo-phototherapy in vitro and in vivo by such a smart all-in-one drug delivery nanoplatform developed here provided information for advancing nanotherapy in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Recently, photothermal therapy has become a promising strategy in tumor treatment. However, the therapeutic effect was seriously hampered by the low tissue penetration of laser. Therefore, in this study, radiofrequency (RF) with better tissue penetration was used for tumor hyperthermia. First, one type of gold nanorods (AuNRs) suitable for RF hyperthermia was selected. Then, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with AuNRs and docetaxel (DTX) (PLGA/AuNR/DTX) NPs were constructed. Finally, manganese dioxide (MnO2) ultrathin nanofilms were coated on the surfaces of PLGA/AuNR/DTX NPs by the reduction of KMnO4 to construct the PLGA/AuNR/DTX@MnO2 drug delivery system. This drug delivery system can not only be used for the combined therapy of chemotherapy and RF hyperthermia but can also produce Mn2+ to enable magnetic resonance imaging. Furthermore, the RF hyperthermia and the degradation of MnO2 can significantly promote the controlled drug release in a tumor region. The in vitro and in vivo results suggested that the PLGA/AuNR/DTX@MnO2 multifunctional drug delivery system is a promising nanoplatform for effective cancer theranostic applications.

Programmed near-infrared light-responsive drug delivery system for combined magnetic tumor-targeting magnetic resonance imaging and chemo-phototherapy. Acta Biomater 2017; 49:402-413. [PMID: 27890732 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2016.11.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 69] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2016] [Revised: 11/03/2016] [Accepted: 11/15/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
In this study, an intelligent drug delivery system was developed by capping doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded hollow mesoporous CuS nanoparticles (HMCuS NPs) with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). Under near infrared (NIR) light irradiation, the versatile HMCuS NPs could exploit the merits of both photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) simultaneously. Herein, the multifunctional IONPs as gatekeeper with the enhanced capping efficiency were supposed to realize "zero premature release" and minimize the adverse side effects during the drug delivery in vivo. More importantly, the hybrid metal nanoplatform (HMCuS/DOX@IONP-PEG) allowed several emerging exceptional characteristics. Our studies have substantiated the hybrid nanoparticles possessed an enhanced PTT effect due to coupled plasmonic resonances with an elevated heat-generating capacity. Notably, an effective removal of IONP-caps occurred after NIR-induced photo-hyperthermia via weakening of the coordination interactions between HMCuS-NH2 and IONPs, which suggested the feasibility of sophisticated controlled on-demand drug release upon exposing to NIR stimulus with spatial/temporal resolution. Benefiting from the favorable magnetic tumor targeting efficacy, the in vitro and in vivo experiments indicated a remarkable anti-tumor therapeutic efficacy under NIR irradiation, resulting from the synergistic combination of chemo-phototherapy. In addition, T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast performance of IONPs provided the identification of cancerous lesions. Based on these findings, the well-designed drug delivery system via integration of programmed functions will provide knowledge for advancing multimodality theranostic strategy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE As we all know, a series of shortcomings of conventional chemotherapy such as limited stability, rapid clearing and non-specific tumor targeting ability remain a significant challenge to achieve successful clinical therapeutic efficiency in cancer treatments. Fortunately, developing drug delivery system under the assistance of multifunctional nanocarries might be a great idea. For the first time, we proposed an intelligent drug delivery system by capping DOX-loaded hollow mesoporous CuS nanoparticles (HMCuS NPs) with multifunctional IONPs to integrate programmed functions including enhanced PTT effect, sophisticated controlled drug release, magnetic targeting property and MR imaging. The results showed HMCuS/DOX@IONP-PEG could significantly enhance anti-tumor therapeutic efficacy due to the synergistic combination of chemo-phototherapy. By this delicate design, we believe such smart and extreme versatile all-in-one drug delivery platform could arouse broad interests in the fields of biomaterials, nanotechnology, and drug delivery system.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has enabled the development of smart theranostic platforms that can concurrently diagnose disease, start primary treatment, monitor response, and, if required, initiate secondary treatments. Recent in vivo experiments demonstrate the promise of using theranostics in the clinic. In this paper, we review the use of remotely triggered theranostic nanoparticles for cancer applications, focusing heavily on advances in the past five years. Remote triggering mechanisms covered include photodynamic, photothermal, phototriggered chemotherapeutic release, ultrasound, electro-thermal, magneto-thermal, X-ray, and radiofrequency therapies. Each section includes a brief overview of the triggering mechanism and summarizes the variety of nanoparticles employed in each method. Emphasis in each category is placed on nano-theranostics with in vivo success. Some of the nanotheranostic platforms highlighted include photoactivatable multi-inhibitor nanoliposomes, plasmonic nanobubbles, reduced graphene oxide-iron oxide nanoparticles, photoswitching nanoparticles, multispectral optoacoustic tomography using indocyanine green, low temperature sensitive liposomes, and receptor-targeted iron oxide nanoparticles loaded with gemcitabine. The studies reviewed here provide strong evidence that the field of nanotheranostics is rapidly evolving. Such nanoplatforms may soon enable unique advances in the clinical management of cancer. However, reproducibility in the synthesis procedures of such "smart" platforms that lend themselves to easy scale-up in their manufacturing, as well as the development of new and improved models of cancer that are more predictive of human responses, need to happen soon for this field to make a rapid clinical impact.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is an emerging field, which constitutes a new direction in the treatment of cancer. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) can circumvent vascular tissue to concentrate at the site of the tumor. Under the influence of an external, alternating magnetic field, MNPs generate high temperatures within the tumor and ablate malignant cells while inflicting minimal damage to healthy host tissue. Due to their theranostic properties, they constitute a promising candidate for the treatment of cancer. A critical review of the type, size and therapeutic effect of different MNPs is presented, following an appraisal of the literature in the last 5 years. This is a multibillion dollar industry, with a few studies moving to clinical trials within the next 5 years.

Tumor-targeted and multi-stimuli responsive drug delivery system for near-infrared light induced chemo-phototherapy and photoacoustic tomography. Acta Biomater 2016; 38:129-42.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In this work, a tumor-targeted and multi-stimuli responsive drug delivery system has been developed for combining photoacoustic tomography imaging with chemo-phototherapy. We utilized a kind of near infrared (NIR) resonant material-hollow mesoporous copper sulfide nanoparticles (HMCuS NPs) to encapsulate doxorubicin (DOX). After that, the outer surface of HMCuS NPs was capped with multifunctional hyaluronic acid (HA) simultaneously as smart gatekeeper as well as tumor targeting moiety. Herein, HMCuS-HA could serve as a powerful contrast agent for photoacoustic tomography (PAT) to guide chemo-phototherapy by providing the identification of cancerous lesions. In vitro and in vivo studies, the nanoplatform (DOX/HMCuS-HA) pinpointed MCF-7 cells via CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway. Subsequently, intracellular enzyme-responsive controlled drug release would take place in lysosome after the HA degradation by hyaluronidase. Under near infrared (NIR) light irradiation, HMCuS NPs could not only effectively convert NIR light into heat for photothermal therapy, but also generate high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for photodynamic therapy. In addition, NIR light and low pH environment could facilitate intracellular tunable drug release with spatial/temporal resolution, and thus synergistic combination of chemo-phototherapy should be simultaneously driven by an 808nm laser irradiation, which brought out an outstanding therapeutic effect. In vivo optical imaging demonstrated that HMCuS-HA significantly enhanced targeting and accumulation capacity in tumor site. Furthermore, tumor-bearing mice treated with DOX/HMCuS-HA under NIR irradiation (808nm, 2W/cm(2), 0.5min) in vivo displayed the highest inhibition ratio of about 88.9%. Taken together, our present study of the tumor-targeted and multi-stimuli responsive drug delivery system provides new insights into multimodality theranostic applications in cancer treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Until now, chemotherapy is still the major therapeutic approach applied in oncology. Despite their pharmacologically efficacy in cancer treatments, most chemotherapeutic agents without tumor-specific targeting ability have brought out serious toxicities to normal tissues. This study provides a promising near infrared (NIR) resonant material-hollow mesoporous copper sulfide nanoparticles (HMCuS NPs) with capping of multifunctional hyaluronic acid (HA) simultaneously as smart gatekeeper as well as tumor targeting moiety to address the above problem. After the nanoplatform (DOX/HMCuS-HA) pinpointed breast cancer cells via CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway, intracellular multi-stimuli responsive controlled drug release would take place with remarkable spatial/temporal resolution. Then photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and synergistic combination of chemo-phototherapy would be simultaneously driven by the same NIR irradiation in a coordinated way, which brought out an outstanding theranostic effect. This work can arouse broad interests among researchers in the fields of nanomedicine, nanotechnology, and drug delivery system.

Abstract
Despite gaining increasing attention, chelation of multiple active targeting ligands greatly increase the formation probability of protein corona, disabling active targeting. To overcome it, a synergistic retention strategy of RGD-mediated active targeting and radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic field-enhanced permeability has been proposed here. It is validated that such a special synergistic retention strategy can promote more poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)-based capsules encapsulating camptothecin (CPT) and solid DL-menthol (DLM) to enter and retain in tumor in vitro and in vivo upon exposure to RF irradiation, receiving an above 8 fold enhancement in HeLa retention. Moreover, the PLGA-based capsules can respond RF field to trigger the entrapped DLM to generate solid-liquid-gas (SLG) tri-phase transformation for enhancing RF ablation and CPT release. Therefore, depending on the enhanced RF ablation and released CPT and the validated synergistic retention effect, the inhibitory outcome for tumor growth has gained an over 10-fold improvement, realizing RF ablation & chemotherapy synergistic treatment against HeLa solid tumor, which indicates a significant promise in clinical RF ablation.

Abstract
It is highly desirable to develop smart nanocarriers with stimuli-responsive drug-releasing and diagnostic-imaging functions for cancer theranostics. Herein, we develop a reduction and pH dual-responsive tumor theranostic platform based on degradable manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets. The MnO2 nanosheets with a size of 20-60 nm were first synthesized and modified with (3-Aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APTMS) to get amine-functionalized MnO2, and then functionalized by NH2-PEG2000-COOH (PEG). The tumor-targeting group, folic acid (FA), was finally conjugated with the PEGylated MnO2 nanosheets. Then, doxorubicin (DOX), a chemotherapeutic agent, was loaded onto the modified nanosheets through a physical adsorption, which was designated as MnO2-PEG-FA/DOX. The prepared MnO2-PEG-FA/DOX nanosheets with good biocompatibility can not only efficiently deliver DOX to tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, leading to enhanced anti-tumor efficiency, but can also respond to a slightly acidic environment and high concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH), which caused degradation of MnO2 into manganese ions enabling magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The longitudinal relaxation rate r1 was 2.26 mM(-1) s(-1) at pH 5.0 containing 2 mM GSH. These reduction and pH dual-responsive biodegradable nanosheets combining efficient MRI and chemotherapy provide a novel and promising platform for tumor-targeting theranostic application.
