Abstract
Introduction: Non-invasive photothermal therapy (PTT) is a competitive treatment for solid tumors, while the efficacy is largely dependent on the effective retention of photothermal converters in tumor tissues.Methods: Herein, the development of iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticle-loaded alginate (ALG) hydrogel platform for PTT of colorectal cancer cells is reported. Fe3O4 nanoparticles synthesized via coprecipitation method after reaction of 30 min have a small size (61.3 nm) and more suitable surface potential, and can mediate PTT under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. The premix of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and ALG hydrogel precursors can be gelatinized by Ca2+-mediated cross-linking to form this therapeutic hydrogel platform.Results: The formed Fe3O4 nanoparticles can be effectively taken up by CT26 cancer cells and induce the death of CT26 cells in vitro under NIR laser irradiation because of their excellent photothermal property. In addition, Fe3O4 nanoparticle-loaded ALG hydrogels show negligible cytotoxicity at the studied concentration range, but can significantly kill cancer cells after PTT effect.Conclusion: This ALG-based hydrogel platform provides a valuable reference for subsequent in vivo studies and other related studies on Fe3O4 nanoparticle-loaded hydrogels.

Abstract
Cancer nanomedicine combined with immunotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy for the treatment of cancer. However, precise regulation of the activation of antitumor immunity in targeting tissues for safe and effective cancer immunotherapy remains challenging. Herein, we report a tumor acidic microenvironment-responsive promodulator iron oxide nanoparticle (termed as FGR) with pH-activated action for photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic immunotherapy of cancer. FGR is formed via surface-modifying iron oxide nanoparticles with a dextran-conjugated Toll-like receptor agonist (R848) containing an acid-labile bond. In an acidic tumor microenvironment, the acid-responsive bonds are hydrolyzed to trigger the specific release of R848 to promote the maturation of dendritic cells. In addition, iron oxide nanoparticles within FGR exert photothermal and chemodynamic effects under near-infrared laser irradiation to directly kill tumor cells and induce immunogenic cell death. The synergistic effect of the released immunogenic factors and the acid-activated TLR7/8 pathway stimulates the formation of strong antitumor immunity, resulting in increased infiltration of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells into tumor tissues. As a result, FGR achieves acid-responsive on-demand release and activation of modulators in tumor sites and mediates photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic immunotherapy to inhibit the growth and metastasis of melanoma. Therefore, this work proposes a general strategy for designing prodrug nanomedicines to accurately regulate cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) plays important roles in a wide range of biological events. The principal receptor of HA in the human body is the Cluster of Differentiation 44 (CD44). To enhance the binding between HA and CD44, a new approach was designed to take advantage of the four-component Ugi reaction. By modifying the carboxyl group on HA with various amine, aldehyde, and isocyanide moieties through the Ugi reaction, 36 HA like polysaccharides were generated. Two lead compounds were identified with enhanced CD44 binding compared to unmodified HA, which was confirmed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), cellular studies and an in vivo mouse tumor model. Ski-learn as a machine learning tool was applied to analyze library data and yield predictions with an accuracy over 80 %. In conclusion, modification of HA via the Ugi reaction can be a promising strategy to develop novel binders toward HA receptors such as CD44.

Abstract
Bladder cancer and prostate cancer are the most common malignant tumors of the genitourinary system. Conventional strategies still face great challenges of high recurrence rate and severe trauma. Therefore, minimally invasive photothermal therapy (PTT) has been extensively explored to address these challenges. Herein, fluorescent Au nanoparticles (NPs) were first prepared using glutathione as template, which were then capped with SiO2 shell to improve the biocompatibility. Next, Au nanoclusters were deposited on the NPs surface to obtain Au@SiO2@Au NPs for photothermal conversion. The gaps between Au nanoparticles on their surface could enhance their photothermal conversion efficiency. Finally, hyaluronic acid (HA), which targets cancer cells overexpressing CD44 receptors, was attached on the NPs surface via 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) chemistry to improve the accumulation of NPs in tumor tissues. Photothermal experiments showed that NPs with an average size of 37.5 nm have a high photothermal conversion efficiency (47.6%) and excellent photostability, thus exhibiting potential application as a PTT agent. The temperature of the NPs (100 μg·mL−1) could rapidly increase to 38.5 °C within 200 s and reach the peak of 57.6 °C with the laser power density of 1.5 W·cm−2 and irradiation time of 600 s. In vivo and in vitro PTT experiments showed that the NPs have high biocompatibility and excellent targeted photothermal ablation capability of cancer cells. Both bladder and prostate tumors disappeared at 15 and 18 d post-treatment with HA-Au@SiO2@Au NPs, respectively, and did not recur. In summary, HA-Au@SiO2@Au NPs can be used a powerful PTT agent for minimally invasive treatment of genitourinary tumors.

A prodrug hydrogel with tumor microenvironment and near-infrared light dual-responsive action for synergistic cancer immunotherapy. Acta Biomater 2022; 149:334-346. [PMID: 35779775 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.06.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Immunotherapy has been used for cancer treatment, while it faces the common dilemmas of low therapeutic efficacy and serious immunotoxicity. In this study, we report the construction of a tumor microenvironment and near-infrared (NIR) light dual-responsive prodrug hydrogel for cancer synergistic immunotherapy in a more effective and safe manner. Such prodrug hydrogels were in-situ formed via calcium-induced gelation of alginate solution containing protoporphyrin IX (PpIX)-modified iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles and programmed death ligand 1 antibody (aPD-L1) prodrug nanoparticles crosslinked by reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive linkers. PpIX served as a photosensitizer to produce singlet oxygen (1O2) under NIR laser irradiation for photodynamic therapy (PDT), and Fe3O4 nanoparticles mediated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) to generate hydroxyl radical (·OH) via Fenton reaction in the tumor microenvironment. In view of the cumulative actions of PDT and CDT, amplified ROS was generated to not only induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), but also destroy ROS-responsive linkers to achieve on-demand release of aPD-L1 from prodrug nanoparticles. Boosted antitumor immunity was elicited in tumor-bearing mice due to the aPD-L1-mediated immune checkpoint blocking. As a result, the prodrug hydrogel-based synergistic immunotherapy could almost treat bilateral tumors and prevent lung and liver metastasis using 4T1 tumor mouse models. This study thus offers a dual-responsive prodrug hydrogel platform for precision cancer immunotherapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Via calcium-induced gelation of alginate, we constructed a prodrug hydrogel with tumor microenvironment and near-infrared light dual-responsive action for synergistic cancer immunotherapy. Such hydrogels can achieve on-demand release of aPD-L1 upon photoactivation in the tumor microenvironment. Through mediating photodynamic and chemodynamic therapy, the prodrug hydrogels can induce enhanced immunogenic cell death and synergistically improve the efficacy of aPD-L1-mediated immune checkpoint blocking. The prodrug hydrogel-based synergistic therapy almost deracinates the primary and distant tumors, and prevents lung and liver metastasis in tumor mouse models.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma (NB), as the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood, is one of the critical culprits affecting children's health. Given the heterogeneity and invisibility of NB tumors, the existing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are inadequate and ineffective in early screening and prognostic improvement. With the rapid innovation and development of nanotechnology, nanomedicines have attracted widespread attention in the field of oncology research for their excellent physiological and chemical properties. In this review, we first explored the current common obstacles in the diagnosis and treatment of NB. Then we comprehensively summarized the advancements in nanotechnology-based multimodal synergistic diagnosis and treatment of NB and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. In addition, a discussion of the pending challenges in biocompatibility and toxicity of nanomedicine was conducted. Finally, we described the development and application status of nanomaterials against some of the recognized targets in the field of NB research, and pointed out prospects for nanomedicine-based precision diagnosis and therapy of NB.

Abstract
The enormous development of nanomaterials technology and the immediate response of many areas of science, research, and practice to their possible application has led to the publication of thousands of scientific papers, books, and reports. This vast amount of information requires careful classification and order, especially for specifically targeted practical needs. Therefore, the present review aims to summarize to some extent the role of iron oxide nanoparticles in biomedical research. Summarizing the fundamental properties of the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, the review's next focus was to classify research studies related to applying these particles for cancer diagnostics and therapy (similar to photothermal therapy, hyperthermia), in nano theranostics, multimodal therapy. Special attention is paid to research studies dealing with the opportunities of combining different nanomaterials to achieve optimal systems for biomedical application. In this regard, original data about the synthesis and characterization of nanolipidic magnetic hybrid systems are included as an example. The last section of the review is dedicated to the capacities of magnetite-based magnetic nanoparticles for the management of oncological diseases.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is a polysaccharide consisting of repeating disaccharides of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and d-glucuronic acid. There are increasing interests in utilizing self-assembled HA nanoparticles (HA-NPs) for targeted imaging and therapy. The principal endogenous receptor of HA, cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44), is overexpressed on many types of tumor cells as well as inflammatory cells in human bodies. Active targeting from HA-CD44 mediated interaction and passive targeting due to the enhanced permeability retention (EPR) effect could lead to selective accumulation of HA-NPs at targeted disease sites. This review focuses on the synthesis strategies of self-assembled HA-NPs, as well as their applications in therapy and biomedical imaging.

Abstract
This review covers extensively the synthesis & surface modification, characterization, and application of magnetic nanoparticles. For biomedical applications, consideration should be given to factors such as design strategies, the synthesis process, coating, and surface passivation. The synthesis method regulates post-synthetic change and specific applications in vitro and in vivo imaging/diagnosis and pharmacotherapy/administration. Special insights have been provided on biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity in a living system, which is imperative for their wider application in biology. These nanoparticles can be decorated with multiple contrast agents and thus can also be used as a probe for multi-mode imaging or double/triple imaging, for example, MRI-CT, MRI-PET. Similarly loading with different drug molecules/dye/fluorescent molecules and integration with other carriers have found application not only in locating these particles in vivo but simultaneously target drug delivery/hyperthermia inside the body. Studies are underway to collect the potential of these magnetically driven nanoparticles in various scientific fields such as particle interaction, heat conduction, imaging, and magnetism. Surely, this comprehensive data will help in the further development of advanced techniques for theranostics based on high-performance magnetic nanoparticles and will lead this research area in a new sustainable direction.

Abstract
Background The exploitation of novel nanomaterials combining diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities within one single nanoplatform is challenging for tumor theranostics. Methods We synthesized dendrimer-modified gold nanorods for combinational gene therapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) of colon cancer. Poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (PAMAM, G3) grafted gold nanorods were modified with GX1 peptide (a cyclic 7-mer peptide, CGNSNPKSC). The obtained Au NR@PAMAM-GX1 are proposed as a gene delivery vector to gene (FAM172A, regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of colon cancer cells) for the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and gene therapy of Colon cancer cells (HCT-8 cells). In addition, the CT imaging function of Au NR can provide imaging evidence for the diagnosis of colon cancer. Results The results display that Au NR@PAMAM-GX1 can specifically deliver FAM172A to cancer cells with excellent transfection efficiency. The HCT-8 cells treated with the Au NR@PAMAM-GX1/FAM172A under laser irradiation have a viability of 20.45%, which is much lower than the survival rate of other single-mode PTT treatment or single-mode gene therapy. Furthermore, animal experiment results confirm that Au NR@PAMAM-GX1/FAM172A complexes can achieve tumor thermal imaging, targeted CT imaging, PTT and gene therapy after tail vein injection. Conclusion Our findings demonstrate that the synthesized Au NR@PAMAM-GX1 offer a facile platform to exert antitumor and improve the diagnostic level of tumor.

Abstract
The great interest in using nanoparticles (NPs) for biomedical applications is transversal to various materials despite the poorly understood correlation between their physicochemical properties and effects on the immune system. NPs, such as gold and Fe3O4, are generally regarded as safe, but the immunotoxicological profile of Au/Fe3O4 composite NPs with different physicochemical properties is not well documented. This study investigated the biological impact of Au/Fe3O4 composite NPs with different morphologies (spherical core-shell and flower-like) and shell composition in vitro to analyze their potential cytotoxic effects and inflammatory responses on RAW 264.7 cells. Au/Fe3O4 composite NPs with a flower-like structure (FLNPs) induce a pronounced reduction in cell viability compared with Au/Fe3O4 composite NPs with a spherical core-shell structure (CSNPs). The increased production of reactive oxygen species, which damages cellular membranes, might contribute to the cytotoxicity effect of FLNPs. However, CSNPs presented more RAW 264.7 cell adhesion and uptake than FLNPs. Remarkably, a significant TNF-α release was observed with CSNP treated RAW 264.7 cells other than that of FLNPs. Protein corona analysis revealed the adsorption of a distinct amount and profile of proteins on the surface of CSNPs and FLNPs. Given the similar particle size and ζ-potential of CSNPs and FLNPs under the cell culture condition, results indicate that the impact of Au/Fe3O4 composite NPs on the macrophage activity highly depends on their morphology, shell composition and protein corona profile.

Abstract
Background: None of the molecular imaging modalities can produce imaging with both anatomical and functional information. In recent years, to overcome these limitations multimodality molecular imaging or combination of two imaging modalities can provide anatomical and pathological information. Methods: Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method and then were coated with silica according to Stober method. Consequently, silica-coated nanoparticles were amino-functionalized. Finally, gold nanoparticles assembled onto the surfaces of the previous product. Cytotoxicity effects of prepared Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles were evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay on human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Their ability as a dual-mode contrast agent was investigated by magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Results: Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles were spherical undersize of 75 nm. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles. The magnetometry result confirmed the superparamagnetism property of prepared nanoparticles, and the saturation magnetization (Ms) was found to be 33 emu/g. Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles showed good cytocompatibility up to 60 μg/mL. The results showed that the Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles have good r2 relaxivity (135.26 mM−1s−1) and good X-ray attenuation property. Conclusion: These findings represent that prepared Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles in an easy and relatively low-cost manner have promising potential as a novel contrast agent for dual-modality of MR/CT imaging.

Abstract
Background Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are excellent candidates for biomedical imaging because of unique characteristics like enhanced colloidal stability and excellent in vivo biocompatibility. Over the last decade, material scientists have developed IONPs with better imaging and enhanced optical absorbance properties by tuning their sizes, shape, phases, and surface characterizations. Since IONPs could be detected with magnetic resonance imaging, various attempts have been made to combine other imaging modalities, thereby creating a high-resolution imaging platform. Composite IONPs (CIONPs) comprising IONP cores with polymeric or inorganic coatings have recently been documented as a promising modality for therapeutic applications. Methods In this review, we provide an overview of the recent advances in CIONPs for multimodal imaging and focus on the therapeutic applications of CIONPs. Result CIONPs with phototherapeutics, IONP-based nanoparticles are used for theranostic application via imaging guided photothermal therapy. Conclusion CIONP-based nanoparticles are known for theranostic application, longstanding effects of composite NPs in in vivo systems should also be studied. Once such issues are fixed, multifunctional CIONP-based applications can be extended for theranostics of diverse medical diseases in the future.

Abstract
Multi-functional core-shell Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles (Fe3O4@Au-DOX-mPEG/PEG-FA NPs) conjugated with doxorubicin (DOX), methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG), and folic acid-linked poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-FA) were synthesized for cancer theranostic applications. In the developed NPs, the DOX was chemically conjugated at the surface of core-shell Fe3O4@Au NPs using L-cysteine methyl ester (LCME) as a linker by acid-sensitive hydrazone bond. The formation of Fe3O4@Au-DOX-mPEG/PEG-FA NPs was confirmed by 1H-NMR analysis. The TEM image and DLS studies showed that the mean diameter of the prepared NPs was about 18 and 38 nm, respectively. Due to the existence of superparamagnetic Fe3O4, the Fe3O4@Au-DOX-mPEG/PEG-FA NPs presented the saturation magnetization (Ms) value of 23 emu/g. The developed NPs displayed the maximum amount of drug release in the acidic medium than that in the mild alkaline medium because of the presence of acid-sensitive hydrazone bond. Due to the presence of FA, the Fe3O4@Au-DOX-mPEG/PEG-FA NPs displayed the increased cellular uptake through a folate-receptor-mediated endocytosis, which results in the improved cytotoxic effect on the HeLa cells. Under the laser irradiation, the cytotoxicity of Fe3O4@Au-DOX-mPEG/PEG-FA NPs was found to be improved due to the photothermal effect of Au shell existing in the NPs. These results reveal that the Fe3O4@Au-DOX-mPEG/PEG-FA NPs could be a promising tumour-targeted drug delivery system with the capabilities of combined MR/CT imaging, photothermal, and chemotherapy of tumours.

Abstract
In this work, we developed a novel active targeting and pH-responsive system for delivering the drug doxorubicin (DOX) to tumor sites using folic acid (FA)-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Acid-treated MWCNTs with carboxyl groups were first covalently conjugated with polyethyleneimine (PEI). Subsequent sequential modification with FA (via a polyethylene glycol spacer), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FI), and acetic anhydride/triethylamine resulted in multifunctional FA-bound MWCNT (MWCNT-PEI.Ac-FI-PEG-FA) nanomaterials that possessed exceptional colloidal stability and good biocompatibility in a given concentration range. The FA-bound MWCNTs were characterized using various techniques and exhibited a high drug loading and an encapsulation efficiency as high as 70.4%. DOX/MWCNT-PEI.Ac-FI-PEG-FA nanocomplexes (DOX/MWCNT NCs) exhibited pH-responsive release in acidic environments. Importantly, the DOX/MWCNT NCs targeted tumor cells overexpressing FA receptors (FARs) and effectively inhibited their growth. In vivo anticancer experiments demonstrated that DOX/MWCNT NCs not only enhanced the suppression of tumor growth but also decreased the side effects of free DOX. The developed FA-modified MWCNTs with an unconventionally high DOX loading boosted in vivo anti-tumor efficacy, and the lower systemic toxicity may be utilized for tumor therapy upon clinical translation.

Abstract
We report the construction and characterization of polyethylenimine (PEI)-entrapped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) chelated with gadolinium (Gd) ions for targeted dual mode tumor CT/MR imaging in vivo. In this work, polyethylene glycol (PEG) monomethyl ether-modified PEI was sequentially modified with Gd chelator and folic acid (FA)-linked PEG (FA-PEG) was used as a template to synthesize AuNPs, followed by Gd(III) chelation and acetylation of the remaining PEI surface amines. The formed FA-targeted PEI-entrapped AuNPs loaded with Gd (FA-Gd-Au PENPs) were well characterized in terms of structure, composition, morphology, and size distribution. We show that the FA-Gd-Au PENPs with an Au core size of 3.0 nm are water dispersible, colloidally stable, and noncytotoxic in a given concentration range. Thanks to the coexistence of Au and Gd elements within one nanoparticulate system, the FA-Gd-Au PENPs display a better X-ray attenuation property than clinical iodinated contrast agent (e.g. Omnipaque) and reasonable r1 relaxivity (1.1 mM-1s-1). These properties allow the FA-targeted particles to be used as an efficient nanoprobe for dual mode CT/MR imaging of tumors with excellent FA-mediated targeting specificity. With the demonstrated organ biocompatibility, the designed FA-Gd-Au PENPs may hold a great promise to be used as a nanoprobe for CT/MR dual mode imaging of different FA receptor-overexpressing tumors.

Abstract
In this work, we report the enhanced catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol driven by Fe₃O₄-Au magnetic nanocomposite interface engineering. A facile solvothermal method is employed for Fe₃O₄ hollow microspheres and Fe₃O₄-Au magnetic nanocomposite synthesis via a seed deposition process. Complementary structural, chemical composition and valence state studies validate that the as-obtained samples are formed in a pure magnetite phase. A series of characterizations including conventional scanning/transmission electron microscopy (SEM/TEM), Mössbauer spectroscopy, magnetic testing and elemental mapping is conducted to unveil the structural and physical characteristics of the developed Fe₃O₄-Au magnetic nanocomposites. By adjusting the quantity of Au seeds coating on the polyethyleneimine-dithiocarbamates (PEI-DTC)-modified surfaces of Fe₃O₄ hollow microspheres, the correlation between the amount of Au seeds and the catalytic ability of Fe₃O₄-Au magnetic nanocomposites for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) is investigated systematically. Importantly, bearing remarkable recyclable features, our developed Fe₃O₄-Au magnetic nanocomposites can be readily separated with a magnet. Such Fe₃O₄-Au magnetic nanocomposites shine the light on highly efficient catalysts for 4-NP reduction at the mass production level.

Abstract
We report the construction and characterization of 99mTc-labeled arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)-polyethylenimine (PEI) conjugates with entrapped gold nanoparticles in the cavities (RGD-99mTc-Au PENPs) for dual-mode single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) imaging of an orthotopic hepatic carcinoma model. In this study, PEI was successively decorated with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and PEGylated RGD segments, and was utilized as an effective nanoplatform to entrap Au NPs and to be labeled with 99mTc. We showed that the designed RGD-99mTc-Au PENPs displayed desirable colloidal stability and radiostability, and cytocompatibility in the investigated concentration range, and could be specifically uptaken by αvβ3 integrin-overexpressing liver cancer cells in vitro. In vivo CT and SPECT imaging results indicated that the particles were able to be accumulated within an orthotopic hepatic carcinoma and displayed both CT and SPECT contrast enhancement in the tumor tissue. With the proven biocompatibility in vivo via histological examinations, the designed RGD-99mTc-Au PENPs may be potentially employed as an effective nanoprobe for a highly efficient dual-mode SPECT/CT imaging of various αvβ3 integrin-overexpressing tumors.

Abstract
In order to translate nanotechnology into medical practice, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been presented as a class of non-invasive nanomaterials for numerous biomedical applications. In particular, MNPs have opened a door for simultaneous diagnosis and brisk treatment of diseases in the form of theranostic agents. This review highlights the recent advances in preparation and utilization of MNPs from the synthesis and functionalization steps to the final design consideration in evading the body immune system for therapeutic and diagnostic applications with addressing the most recent examples of the literature in each section. This study provides a conceptual framework of a wide range of synthetic routes classified mainly as wet chemistry, state-of-the-art microfluidic reactors, and biogenic routes, along with the most popular coating materials to stabilize resultant MNPs. Additionally, key aspects of prolonging the half-life of MNPs via overcoming the sequential biological barriers are covered through unraveling the biophysical interactions at the bio-nano interface and giving a set of criteria to efficiently modulate MNPs' physicochemical properties. Furthermore, concepts of passive and active targeting for successful cell internalization, by respectively exploiting the unique properties of cancers and novel targeting ligands are described in detail. Finally, this study extensively covers the recent developments in magnetic drug targeting and hyperthermia as therapeutic applications of MNPs. In addition, multi-modal imaging via fusion of magnetic resonance imaging, and also innovative magnetic particle imaging with other imaging techniques for early diagnosis of diseases are extensively provided.

Abstract
The design and development of multifunctional nanoplatforms for biomedical applications still remains to be challenging. This review reports the recent advances in aqueous-phase synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) and their composites for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and photothermal therapy of cancer. Water dispersible and colloidally stable Fe3O4 NPs synthesized via controlled coprecipitation route, hydrothermal route and mild reduction route are introduced. Some of key strategies to improve the r2 relaxivity of Fe3O4 NPs and to enhance their uptake by cancer cells are discussed in detail. These aqueous-phase synthetic methods can also be applied to prepare Fe3O4 NP-based composites for dual-mode molecular imaging applications. More interestingly, aqueous-phase synthesized Fe3O4 NPs are able to be fabricated as multifunctional theranostic agents for multi-mode imaging and photothermal therapy of cancer. This review will provide some meaningful information for the design and development of various Fe3O4 NP-based multifunctional nanoplatforms for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Exploitation of novel hybrid nanomaterials for combinational tumor therapy is challenging. In this work, we synthesized dendrimer-modified MoS2 nanoflakes for combinational gene silencing and photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer cells. Hydrothermally synthesized MoS2 nanoflakes were modified with generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) dendrimers partially functionalized with lipoic acid via disulfide bond. The formed G5-MoS2 nanoflakes display good colloidal stability and superior photothermal conversion efficiency and photothermal stability. With the dendrimer surface amines on their surface, the G5-MoS2 nanoflakes are capable of delivering Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2) siRNA to cancer cells (4T1 cells, a mouse breast cancer cells) with excellent transfection efficiency, inducing 47.3% of Bcl-2 protein expression inhibition. In vitro cell viability assay data show that cells treated with the G5-MoS2/Bcl-2 siRNA polyplexes under laser irradiation have a viability of 21.0%, which is much lower than other groups of single mode PTT treatment (45.8%) or single mode of gene therapy (68.7%). Moreover, the super efficacy of combinational therapy was further demonstrated by treating a xenografted 4T1 tumor model in vivo. These results suggest that the synthesized G5-MoS2 nanoflakes may be employed as a potential nanoplatform for combinational gene silencing and PTT of tumors.

Abstract
Colorimetric and fluorescent dual mode detection methods have gained much attention in recent years; however, it is still desirable to develop new colorimetric and fluorescent dual mode nanosensors with more simple preparation procedures, low cost, and excellent biocompatibility. Herein, a colorimetric and fluorescent nanosensor based on B, N, S-co-doped carbon dots (BNS-CDs) was synthesized by one-step hydrothermal treatment of 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid and 4-aminophenylboronic acid hydrochloride. Using this nanosensor, a highly sensitive assay of Fe3+ in the range of 0.3-546 μM with a detection limit of 90 nM was provided by quenching the red emission fluorescence. It is more attractive that Fe3+ can also be visualized by this nanosensor via evident color changes of the solution (from red to blue) under sunlight without the aid of an ultraviolet (UV) lamp. Furthermore, the designed nanosensor can be applied for efficient detection of intracellular Fe3+ with excellent biocompatibility and cellular imaging capability, and it holds great promise in biomedical applications.

Abstract
With continued advancements in nanoparticle (NP) synthesis and in the interfacing of NPs with biological systems has come the exponential growth in the use of NPs for therapeutic drug delivery and imaging applications. In recent years, the advent of NP multifunctionality-the ability to perform multiple, disparate functions on a single NP platform-has garnered much excitement for the potential realization of highly functional NP-mediated drug delivery for use in the clinical setting. This Overview will survey the current state of the art (reports published within the last 5 years) of multifunctional NPs for therapeutic drug delivery, imaging or a combination thereof. We provide extensive examples of both soft (micelles, liposomes, polymeric NPs) and hard (noble metals, quantum dots, metal oxides) NP formulations that have been used for multimodal drug delivery and imaging. The criteria for inclusion, herein, is that there must be at least two therapeutic drug cargos or imaging agents or a combination of the two. We next offer an assessment of the cytotoxicity of therapeutic NP constructs in biological systems. We then conclude with a forward-looking perspective on how we expect this field to develop in the coming years.

Abstract
In this study, laponite (LAP) nanodisks and polyethylenimine (PEI) were used to build a hybrid theranostic nanoplatform for targeted computed tomography (CT) imaging and chemotherapy of cancer cells overexpressing CD44 receptors. First, amphiphilic copolymer poly(lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG-COOH) were assembled on the surface of LAP nanodisks via hydrophobic interaction, and then PEI were conjugated by the formation of amide groups via1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl) carbodiimide (EDC) coupling chemistry. The developed LAP-PLA-PEG-PEI nanoparticles were used as templates for the embedding of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), followed by modification with hyaluronic acid (HA) as a targeting ligand for cancer cells overexpressing CD44 receptors. Finally, anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded. The formed LAP-PLA-PEG-PEI-(Au0)50-HA/DOX nanocomplexes display good stability, a high drug loading efficiency as 91.0 ± 1.8%, and sustained drug release profile with a pH-sensitive manner. In vitro cell viability assay, flow cytometric analysis, and laser scanning confocal microscopy observation demonstrate that the formed nanocomplexes can specifically deliver and inhibit cancer cells overexpressing CD44 receptors. In vivo experiments illustrate that LAP-PLA-PEG-PEI-(Au0)50-HA/DOX nanocomplexes can not only significantly inhibit the growth of tumors and decrease the side-effect of DOX, but also be used as a targeted contrast agent for CT imaging of tumors. Therefore, the developed LAP-PLA-PEG-PEI-(Au0)50-HA/DOX nanocomplexes can be used as a promising theranostic platform for targeted imaging and chemotherapy of CD44-overexpressed tumors.

Abstract
Development of versatile nanomaterials combining diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities within one single nanoplatform is extremely important for tumor theranostics. In this work, the authors report the synthesis of a gold nanostar (Au NS)-based theranostic platform stabilized with cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic (Arg-Gly-Asp, RGD) peptide-modified amine-terminated generation 3 poly(amidoamine) dendrimers. The formed RGD-modified dendrimer-stabilized Au NSs (RGD-Au DSNSs) are used as a gene delivery vector to complex small interfering RNA (siRNA) for computed tomography (CT) imaging, thermal imaging, photothermal therapy (PTT), and gene therapy of tumors. The results show that the RGD-Au DSNSs are able to compact vascular endothelial growth factor siRNA and specifically deliver siRNA to cancer cells overexpressing αv β3 integrin. Under near-infrared laser irradiation, the viability of cancer cells is only 20.2% after incubation with the RGD-Au DSNS/siRNA polyplexes, which is much lower than that of cells after single PTT or gene therapy treatment. Furthermore, in vivo results show that the RGD-Au DSNS/siRNA polyplexes enable tumor CT imaging, thermal imaging, PTT, and gene therapy after intratumoral injection. These results indicate that the developed multifunctional nanoconstruct is a promising platform for tumor imaging and combinational PTT and gene therapy.

Abstract
Cancer-targeted nanotechnology is experiencing the trend of finding new materials with multiple functions for imaging and therapeutic applications. With the rapid development of the related fields, there exists a large number of reports regarding theranostic nanomedicine, decreasing the gap between cancer diagnosis and treatment with minimized separate comprehensions. In order to present an overview on the cancer-targeted nanotheranostics, we first describe their essential building blocks, including platforms, therapeutic agents and imaging agents, and then the recently rapidly developed multimodal theranostic systems. Finally we discuss the major challenges and the perspectives of future development of nanotheranostics toward clinical translations and personalized nanomedicine.

Sci Rep 2016; 6:28325. [PMID: 27325015 PMCID: PMC4914846 DOI: 10.1038/srep28325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 90] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2016] [Accepted: 06/02/2016] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
We herein report the development of multifunctional folic acid (FA)-targeted Fe3O4 @ Au nanostars (NSs) for targeted multi-mode magnetic resonance (MR)/computed tomography (CT)/photoacoustic (PA) imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumors. In this present work, citric acid-stabilized Fe3O4/Ag composite nanoparticles prepared by a mild reduction route were utilized as seeds and exposed to the Au growth solution to induce the formation of Fe3O4 @ Au core/shell NSs. Followed by successive decoration of thiolated polyethyleneimine (PEI-SH), FA via a polyethylene glycol spacer, and acetylation of the residual PEI amines, multifunctional Fe3O4 @ Au NSs were formed. The designed multifunctional NSs possess excellent colloidal stability, good cytocompatibility in a given concentration range, and specific recognition to cancer cells overexpressing FA receptors. Due to co-existence of Fe3O4 core and star-shaped Au shell, the NSs can be used for MR and CT imaging of tumors, respectively. Likewise, the near infrared plasmonic absorption feature also enables the NSs to be used for PA imaging and PTT of tumors. Our study clearly demonstrates a unique theranostic nanoplatform that can be used for high performance multi-mode imaging-guided PTT of tumors, which may be extendable for theranostics of different diseases in translational medicine.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPMNPs) used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) cancer therapy frequently face trade off between a high magnetization saturation and their good colloidal stability, high specific absorption rate (SAR), and most importantly biological compatibility. This necessitates the development of new nanomaterials, as MFH and MRI are considered to be one of the most promising combined noninvasive treatments. In the present study, we investigated polyethylene glycol (PEG) functionalized La1-xSrxMnO3 (LSMO) SPMNPs for efficient cancer hyperthermia therapy and MRI application. The superparamagnetic nanomaterial revealed excellent colloidal stability and biocompatibility. A high SAR of 390 W/g was observed due to higher colloidal stability leading to an increased Brownian and Neel's spin relaxation. Cell viability of PEG capped nanoparticles is up to 80% on different cell lines tested rigorously using different methods. PEG coating provided excellent hemocompatibility to human red blood cells as PEG functionalized SPMNPs reduced hemolysis efficiently compared to its uncoated counterpart. Magnetic fluid hyperthermia of SPMNPs resulted in cancer cell death up to 80%. Additionally, improved MRI characteristics were also observed for the PEG capped La1-xSrxMnO3 formulation in aqueous medium compared to the bare LSMO. Taken together, PEG capped SPMNPs can be useful for diagnosis, efficient magnetic fluid hyperthermia, and multimodal cancer treatment as the amphiphilicity of PEG can easily be utilized to encapsulate hydrophobic drugs.
