Abstract
In this research, a novel MgSiO3 fiber membrane (MSFM) loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) and doxorubicin (DOX) was prepared. Because of MgSiO3's unique lamellar structure composed of a silicon-oxygen tetrahedron, magnesium ion (Mg2+) moves easily and can be further replaced with other cations. Therefore, because of the positively charged functional group of ICG, MSFM has a rather high drug loading for ICG. In addition, there is electrostatic attraction between DOX (a cationic drug) and ICG (an anionic drug). Hence, after loading ICG, more DOX can be adsorbed into MSFM because of electrostatic interaction. The ICG endows the MSFM outstanding photothermal therapy (PTT) performance, and DOX as a chemotherapeutic drug can restrain tumor growth. On the one hand, H+ exchanged with the positively charged DOX based on the MgSiO3 special lamellar structure. On the other hand, the thermal effect could break the electrostatic interaction between ICG and DOX. Based on the above two points, both tumor acidic microenvironment and photothermal effect can trigger DOX release. What's more, in vitro and in vivo antiosteosarcoma therapy evaluations displayed a superior synergetic PTT-chemotherapy anticancer treatment and excellent biocompatibility of DOX&ICG-MSFM. Finally, the MSFM was proven to greatly promote cell proliferation, differentiation, and bone regeneration performance in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, MSFM provides a creative perspective in the design of multifunctional scaffolds and shows promising applications in controlled drug delivery, antitumor performance, and osteogenesis.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 346:123617. [PMID: 38395133 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (M-NPs) have garnered significant attention due to their unique properties, driving diverse applications across packaging, biomedicine, electronics, and environmental remediation. However, the potential health risks associated with M-NPs must not be disregarded. M-NPs' ability to accumulate in organs and traverse the blood-brain barrier poses potential health threats to animals, humans, and the environment. The interaction between M-NPs and various cellular components, including DNA, multiple proteins, and mitochondria, triggers the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), influencing several cellular activities. These interactions have been linked to various effects, such as protein alterations, the buildup of M-NPs in the Golgi apparatus, heightened lysosomal hydrolases, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, cell membrane impairment, cytoplasmic disruption, and fluctuations in ATP levels. Despite the evident advantages M-NPs offer in diverse applications, gaps in understanding their biocompatibility and toxicity necessitate further research. This review provides an updated assessment of M-NPs' pros and cons across different applications, emphasizing associated hazards and potential toxicity. To ensure the responsible and safe use of M-NPs, comprehensive research is conducted to fully grasp the potential impact of these nanoparticles on both human health and the environment. By delving into their intricate interactions with biological systems, we can navigate the delicate balance between harnessing the benefits of M-NPs and minimizing potential risks. Further exploration will pave the way for informed decision-making, leading to the conscientious development of these nanomaterials and safeguarding the well-being of society and the environment.

Abstract
Reconstruction of irregular oral-maxillofacial bone defects with an inflammatory microenvironment remains a challenge, as chronic local inflammation can largely impair bone healing. Here, we used magnesium silicate nanospheres (MSNs) to load microRNA-146a-5p (miR-146a) to fabricate a nanobiomaterial, MSN+miR-146a, which showed synergistic promoting effects on the osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). In addition, miR-146a exhibited an anti-inflammatory effect on mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway via targeting tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), and MSNs could simultaneously promote M2 polarization of BMMs. MiR-146a was also found to inhibit osteoclast formation. Finally, the dual osteogenic-promoting and immunoregulatory effects of MSN+miR-146a were further validated in a stimulated infected mouse mandibular bone defect model via delivery by a photocuring hydrogel. Collectively, the MSN+miR-146a complex revealed good potential in treating inflammatory irregular oral-maxillofacial bone defects.

BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 154:213593.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has revolutionized the field of therapeutics by introducing a plethora of nanomaterials capable of enhancing traditional drug efficacy or paving the way for innovative treatment methods. Within this domain, we propose a novel Cobalt-doped hollow polydopamine nanosphere system. This system, incorporating Doxorubicin loading and hyaluronic acid (HA) surface coating (CoHPDA@DOX-HA), is designed for combined tumor therapy. The overarching aim is to diminish the administration dosage, mitigate the cytotoxic side effects of chemotherapy drugs, augment chemosensitivity within neoplastic tissues, and attain superior results in tumor treatment via combined therapeutic strategies. The targeted molecule, hyaluronic acid (HA), amplifies the biocompatibility of CoHPDA@DOX-HA throughout circulation and fosters endocytosis of the nanoparticle system within cancer cells. This nanosphere system possesses pH sensitivity properties, allowing for a meticulous drug release within the acidic microenvironment of tumor cells. Concurrently, Polydopamine (PDA) facilitates proficient photothermal therapy upon exposure to 808 nm laser irradiation. This process further amplifies the Glutathione (GSH) depletion, and when coupled with the oxygen production capabilities of the Cobalt-doped hollow PDA, significantly enhances the chemo-photothermal therapeutic efficiency. Findings from the treatment of tumor-bearing mice substantiate that even at dosages equivalent to a singular DOX administration, the CoHPDA@DOX-HA can provide efficacious synergistic therapy. Therefore, it is anticipated that multifunctional nanomaterials with Photoacoustic Tomography (PAT) imaging capabilities, targeted delivery, and a controlled collaborative therapeutic framework may serve as promising alternatives for accurate diagnostics and efficacious treatment strategies.

Abstract
Nanotechnology in medical applications, especially in oncology as drug delivery systems, has recently shown promising results. However, although these advances have been promising in the pre-clinical stages, the clinical translation of this technology is challenging. To create drug delivery systems with increased treatment efficacy for clinical translation, the physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles such as size, shape, elasticity (flexibility/rigidity), surface chemistry, and surface charge can be specified to optimize efficiency for a given application. Consequently, interdisciplinary researchers have focused on producing biocompatible materials, production technologies, or new formulations for efficient loading, and high stability. The effects of design parameters can be studied in vitro, in vivo, or using computational models, with the goal of understanding how they affect nanoparticle biophysics and their interactions with cells. The present review summarizes the advances and technologies in the production and design of cancer nanomedicines to achieve clinical translation and commercialization. We also highlight existing challenges and opportunities in the field.

Multi-functional silica-based mesoporous materials for simultaneous delivery of biologically active ions and therapeutic biomolecules. Acta Biomater 2021; 129:1-17. [PMID: 34010692 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2021] [Revised: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 05/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Mesoporous silica-based materials, especially mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs), are being highly considered for biomedical applications, including drug delivery and tissue engineering, not only because of their bioactivity and biocompatibility but also due to their tunable composition and potential use as drug delivery carriers owing to their controllable nanoporous structure. Numerous researches have reported that MBGs can be doped with various therapeutic ions (strontium, copper, magnesium, zinc, lithium, silver, etc.) and loaded with specific biomolecules (e.g., therapeutic drugs, antibiotics, growth factors) achieving controllable loading and release kinetics. Therefore, co-delivery of ions and biomolecules using a single MBG carrier is highly interesting as this approach provides synergistic effects toward improved therapeutic outcomes in comparison to the strategy of sole drug or ion delivery. In this review, we discuss the state-of-the-art in the field of mesoporous silica-based materials used for co-delivery of ions and therapeutic drugs with osteogenesis/cementogenesis, angiogenesis, antibacterial and anticancer properties. The analysis of the literature reveals that specially designed mesoporous nanocarriers can release multiple ions and drugs at therapeutically safe and relevant levels, achieving the desired biological effects (in vivo, in vitro) for specific biomedical applications. It is expected that this review on the ion/drug co-delivery concept using MBG carriers will shed light on the advantages of such co-delivery systems for clinical use. Areas for future research directions are identified and discussed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Many studies in literature focus on the potential of single drug or ion delivery by mesoporous silica-based materials, exploiting the bioactivity, biocompatibility, tunable composition and controllable nanoporosity of these materials. Recenlty, studies have adopted the "dual-delivery" concept, by designing multi-functional mesoporous silica-based systems which are capable to deliver both biologically active ions and biomolecules (growth factors, drugs) simultaneously in order to achieve synergy of their complementary therapeutic activities. This review summarizes the state of the art in the field, with focus on osteogenesis/cementogenesis, angiogenesis, antibacterial and anticancer properties, and discusses the challenges and prospects for further progress in this area, expecting to generate broader interest in the technology for applications in disease treatment and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Formulating drugs into nanoparticles offers many attractive advantages over free drugs including improved bioavailability, minimized toxic side effects, enhanced drug delivery, feasibility of incorporating other functions such as controlled release, imaging agents for imaging, targeting delivery, and loading more than one drug for combination therapies. One of the key parameters is drug loading, which is defined as the mass ratio of drug to drug-loaded nanoparticles. Currently, most nanoparticle systems have relatively low drug loading (<10 wt%), and developing methods to increase drug loading remains a challenge. This Minireview presents an overview of recent research on developing nanoparticles with high drug loading (>10 wt%) from the perspective of synthesis strategies, including post-loading, co-loading, and pre-loading. Based on these three different strategies, various nanoparticle systems with different materials and drugs are summarized and discussed in terms of their synthesis methods, drug loadings, encapsulation efficiencies, release profiles, stabilities, and their applications in drug delivery. The advantages and disadvantages of these strategies are presented with an objective of providing useful design rules for future development of high-drug-loading nanoparticles.

Abstract
Great efforts have been devoted to exploiting silicate bioceramics for various applications in soft tissue regeneration, owing to their excellent bioactivity. Based on the inherent ability of silicate bioceramics to repair tissue, bioactive ions are easily incorporated into silicate bioceramics to endow them with extra biological properties, such as enhanced angiogenesis, antibiosis, enhanced osteogenesis, and antitumor effect, which significantly expands the application of multifunctional silicate bioceramics. Furthermore, silicate nanobioceramics with unique structures have been widely employed for tumor therapy. In recent years, the novel applications of silicate bioceramics for both tissue regeneration and tumor therapy have substantially grown. Eliminating the skin tumors first and then repairing the skin wounds has been widely investigated by our groups, which might shed some light on treating other soft tissue tumor or tumor-induced defects. This review first describes the recent advances made in the development of silicate bioceramics as therapeutic platforms for soft tissue regeneration. We then highlight the major silicate nanobioceramics used for tumor therapy. Silicate bioceramics for both soft tissue regeneration and tumor therapy are further emphasized. Finally, challenges and future directions of silicate bioceramics stepping into the clinics are discussed. This review will inspire researchers to create the efficient and functional silicate bioceramics needed for regeneration and tumor therapy of other tissues.

Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) hierarchical magnetic hollow micro/nanotubes have attracted special attention in the field of adsorption owing to their high surface area, easy separation and short mass diffusion. Here, we report a facile approach for synthesizing one-dimensional hierarchical magnetic metal silicate microtubes through an extended Stöber method, carbonization treatment and subsequent hydrothermal reaction with metal ions in an alkaline solution. The unique 1D hierarchical magnetic microtubes have a large surface area, good structural stability and high magnetic response. Benefiting from these advantages, the resultant microtubes display excellent performance as good adsorbents for bovine hemoglobin (BHb) and methylene blue (MB). Furthermore, this strategy can also be applied to prepare other 1D hierarchical magnetic metal silicate composites.

Abstract
Background: The efficacy of chemotherapy is undermined by adverse side effects and chemoresistance of target tissues. Developing a drug delivery system can reduce off-target side effects and increase the efficacy of drugs by increasing their accumulation in target tissues. Inorganic salts have several advantages over other drug delivery vectors in that they are non-carcinogenic and less immunogenic than viral vectors and have a higher loading capacity and better controlled release than lipid and polymer vectors. Methods: MgF2 crystals were fabricated by mixing 20 mM MgCl2 and 10 mM NaF and incubating for 30 min at 37 °C. The crystals were characterized by absorbance, dynamic light scattering, microscopic observance, pH sensitivity test, SEM, EDX and FTIR. The binding efficacy to doxorubicin was assessed by measuring fluorescence intensity. pH-dependent doxorubicin release profile was used to assess the controlled release capability of the particle-drug complex. Cellular uptake was assessed by fluorescence microscopy. Cytotoxicity of the particles and the drug-particle complex were assessed using MTT assay to measure cell viability of MCF-7 cells. Results and Discussion: Particle size on average was estimated to be <200 nm. The crystals were cubic in shape. The particles were pH-sensitive and capable of releasing doxorubicin in increasing acidic conditions. MgF2 nanocrystals were safe in lower concentrations, and when bound to doxorubicin, enhanced its uptake. The protein corona formed around MgF2 nanoparticles lacks typical opsonins but contains some dysopsonins. Conclusion: A drug delivery vector in the form of MgF2 nanocrystals has been developed to transport doxorubicin into breast cancer cells. It is pH-sensitive (allowing for controlled release), size-modifiable, simple and cheap to produce.

Abstract
Drug molecules transformed into nanoparticles or endowed with nanostructures with or without the aid of carrier materials are referred to as "nanomedicines" and can overcome some inherent drawbacks of free drugs, such as poor water solubility, high drug dosage, and short drug half-life in vivo. However, most of the existing nanomedicines possess the drawback of low drug-loading (generally less than 10%) associated with more carrier materials. For intravenous administration, the extensive use of carrier materials might cause systemic toxicity and impose an extra burden of degradation, metabolism, and excretion of the materials for patients. Therefore, on the premise of guaranteeing therapeutic effect and function, reducing or avoiding the use of carrier materials is a promising alternative approach to solve these problems. Recently, high drug-loading nanomedicines, which have a drug-loading content higher than 10%, are attracting increasing interest. According to the fabrication strategies of nanomedicines, high drug-loading nanomedicines are divided into four main classes: nanomedicines with inert porous material as carrier, nanomedicines with drug as part of carrier, carrier-free nanomedicines, and nanomedicines following niche and complex strategies. To date, most of the existing high drug-loading nanomedicines belong to the first class, and few research studies have focused on other classes. In this review, we investigate the research status of high drug-loading nanomedicines and discuss the features of their fabrication strategies and optimum proposal in detail. We also point out deficiencies and developing direction of high drug-loading nanomedicines. We envision that high drug-loading nanomedicines will occupy an important position in the field of drug-delivery systems, and hope that novel perspectives will be proposed for the development of high drug-loading nanomedicines.

Abstract
Multifunctional biomaterials that simultaneously combine high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioactivity are promising for applications in various biomedical fields such as bone defect repair and drug delivery. Herein, the synthesis of hydroxyapatite nanowire@magnesium silicate nanosheets (HANW@MS) core-shell porous hierarchical nanocomposites (nanobrushes) is reported. The morphology of the magnesium silicate (MS) shell can be controlled by simply varying the solvothermal temperature and the amount of Mg2+ ions. Compared with hydroxyapatite nanowires (HANWs), the HANW@MS core-shell porous hierarchical nanobrushes exhibit remarkably increased specific surface area and pore volume, endowing the HANW@MS core-shell porous hierarchical nanobrushes with high-performance drug loading and sustained release. Moreover, the porous scaffold of HANW@MS/chitosan (HANW@MS/CS) is prepared by incorporating the HANW@MS core-shell porous hierarchical nanobrushes into the chitosan (CS) matrix. The HANW@MS/CS porous scaffold not only promotes the attachment and growth of rat bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs), but also induces the expression of osteogenic differentiation related genes and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene of rBMSCs. Furthermore, the HANW@MS/CS porous scaffold can obviously stimulate in vivo bone regeneration, owing to its high bioactive performance on the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs and in vivo angiogenesis. Since Ca, Mg, Si, and P elements are essential in human bone tissue, HANW@MS core-shell porous hierarchical nanobrushes with multifunctional properties are expected to be promising for various biomedical applications such as bone defect repair and drug delivery.

Abstract
Uniform gadolinium oxysulfate (Gd2O2SO4) hollow spheres were successfully fabricated by calcination of corresponding Gd-organic precursor obtained via a facile hydrothermal process. The Gd2O2SO4 hollow spheres have a mean diameter of approximately 550 nm and shell thickness in the range of 30-70 nm. The sizes and morphologies of as-prepared Gd2O2SO4 hollow spheres could be deliberately controlled by adjusting the experimental parameters. Eu-doped Gd2O2SO4 hollow spheres have also been prepared for the property modification and practical applications. The structure, morphology, and properties of as-prepared products were characterized by XRD, TEM, HRTEM, SEM and fluorescence spectrophotometer. Excited with ultraviolet (UV) pump laser, successful downconversion (DC) could be achieved for Eu-doped Gd2O2SO4 hollow spheres.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance is one of major obstacles to the effective cancer chemotherapy. To address this issue, we developed the effective circumvention of multidrug resistance in cancer cells by a yolk-shell Fe3O4@MgSiO3 nanoplatform with the polymerpoly(ethylene glycol) and folic acid modifications can achieve active targeted delivery of anti-cancer drug by using combined magnetic and ligand targeting. The direct intracellular drug delivery of doxorubicin by nanocarrier was much more effectively than free DOX for multidrug resistant Hep-G2/MDR cancer cells. Besides the excellent biocompatibility, high drug loading efficiency, dual-targeting delivery, and controlled releasing behavior, in vivo experiments demonstrate that this nanocarrier can specifically deliver and concentrate doxorubicin hydrochloride in tumor sites to overcome drug resistance. It follows an alternative strategy for effective chemotherapy against drug resistant cancers by using rationally designed nanomaterial.

Abstract
The applications of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) treatment in ophthalmic fields to inhibit angiogenesis have been widely documented in recent years. However, the hydrophobic nature of many agents makes its delivery difficult in practice. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to introduce a new kind of hydrophobic drug carrier by employing nanoparticles with a hollow structure inside. Followed by the synthesis and characterization of magnesium silicate hollow spheres, cytotoxicity was evaluated in retina capillary endothelial cells. The loading and releasing capacity were tested by employing emodin, and the effect on VEGF expression was performed at the gene and protein level. Finally, an investigation on angiogenesis was carried on fertilized chicken eggs. The results indicated that the magnesium silicate nanoparticles had low toxicity. Emodin–MgSiO3 can inhibit the expression of both VEGF gene and protein effectively. Angiogenesis of eggs was also reduced significantly. Based on the above results, we concluded that magnesium silicate hollow spheres were good candidates as drug carriers with enough safety.

Abstract
Hollow nickel silicate nanospheres (NiSiO3 NSs) with hierarchical shells were hydrothermally synthesized by using silica spheres as a template. The NiSiO3 NSs have an average diameter of 250 nm with a shell thickness of 50 nm, and the hierarchical shell consists of a large number of sheets. By taking advantage of the high affinity of Ni(2+) toward histidine-tagged (His-tagged) proteins, hollow NiSiO3 NSs can be used to enrich and separate His-tagged proteins directly from a mixture of lysed cells. Results indicated that the hollow NiSiO3 NSs presented negligible nonspecific protein adsorption and a high protein binding ability with a high binding capacity of 13.2 mmol g(-1). Their specificity and affinity toward His-tagged proteins remained after recycling 5 times. The hollow NiSiO3 NSs are especially suitable for rapid purification of His-tagged proteins.

Abstract
This study reports a smart controlled drug release system based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) for targeted drug delivery. The system was fabricated by employing heparin as an end-capping agent to seal the mesopores of MSNs via disulfide bonds as intermediate linkers for intracellular glutathione triggered drug release. Lactobionic acid molecules were then coupled to heparin end-capped MSNs that serve as targeting motifs for facilitating the uptake of doxorubicin (DOX) loaded MSNs by HepG2 cells and tumors, respectively. Detailed investigations demonstrated that the fabricated drug delivery systems could deliver DOX to cancer cells to induce cell apoptosis in vitro and tumor tissue for the inhibition of tumor growth in vivo with minimal side effects. The study affords a promising nanocarrier for redox-responsive cargo delivery with high curative efficiency for cancer therapy.
