Modulation of macrophage polarity with carboxymethyl chitin gated hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles for elevating anti-tumor chemotherapy. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129761. [PMID: 38290634 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
The weak immunity of tumors after chemotherapy could cause tumor metastasis and progression. Therefore, to overcome the dilemma of obvious immune deficiency caused by chemotherapy, a nanosystem (N-IL-12/DOX/α-TOS) consisted of thioketal (TK) bonds linked-hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) coated with carboxymethyl chitin (CMCH) by electrostatic interaction, and surface-functionalized glucose-regulated protein 78 binding peptide was prepared for loading doxorubicin (DOX), IL-12 and α-tocopheryl succinate (α-TOS). N-IL-12/DOX/α-TOS displayed a mean size of 275 nm after encapsulated DOX, IL-12 and α-TOS with loading contents of 2.04 × 10-4, 4.01 × 10-2 and 7.12 × 10-2, respectively. The drug-free nanoparticles (NPs) showed good biocompatibility to both 4 T1 cells and RAW264.7 macrophages. N-IL-12/DOX/α-TOS could achieve localized release of IL-12, DOX and α-TOS by pH and H2O2 trigger in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Moreover, the combined therapy by N-IL-12/DOX/α-TOS remarkably elevated the anti-tumor therapeutic efficacy, enhanced immune responses via promoting tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) polarization into tumoricidal M1 phenotypes, and decreased lung metastasis with reduced side effects. N-IL-12/DOX/α-TOS exhibited as a promising strategy for combining chemotherapy and local macrophage modulation-immunotherapy for anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
Virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine is considered to be the most promising candidate alternative to the traditional inactivated vaccine for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). To elicit a desired immune response, hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) have been synthesized and utilized as a nanocarrier for FMD VLP vaccine delivery. The as-prepared HMSNs displayed a relatively small particle size (∼260 nm), large cavity (∼150 nm), and thin wall (∼55 nm). The inherent structural superiorities make them ideal nanocarriers for the FMD VLP vaccine, which exhibited good biocompatibility, great protein-loading capacity, high antibody-response level, and protective efficiency, even comparable to commercial adjuvant ISA 206. All the results suggested that HMSNs may be a valid nanocarrier in VLP-based vaccines.

Abstract
The non-specific leakage of drugs from nanocarriers seriously weakened the safety and efficacy of chemotherapy, and it was very critical of constructing tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive delivery nanocarriers, achieving the modulation release of drugs. Herein, using manganese dioxide (MnO2) as gatekeeper, an intelligent nanoplatform based on mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) was developed to deliver doxorubicin (DOX), by which the DOX release was precisely controlled, and simultaneously the photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) were realized. In normal physiological environment, the stable MnO2 shell effectively avoided the leakage of DOX. However, in TME, the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) degraded MnO2 shell, which caused the DOX release. Moreover, the photothermal effect of MPDA and the Fenton-like reaction of the generated Mn2+ further accelerated the cell death. Thus, the developed MPDA-DOX@MnO2 nanoplatform can intelligently modulate the release of DOX, and the combined CDT/PTT/chemotherapy possessed high-safety and high-efficacy against tumors.

Abstract
Polymer-protein systems have excellent characteristics, such as non-toxic, non-irritating, good water solubility and biocompatibility, which makes them very appealing as cancer therapeutics agents. Inspiringly, they can achieve sustained release and targeted delivery of drugs, greatly improving the effect of cancer therapy and reducing side effects. However, many challenges, such as reducing the toxicity of materials, protecting the activities of proteins and controlling the release of proteins, still need to be overcome. In this review, the design of hybrid polymer-protein systems, including the selection of polymers and the bonding forms of polymer-protein systems, is presented. Meanwhile, vital considerations, including reaction conditions and the release of proteins in the design process, are addressed. Then, hybrid polymer-protein systems developed in the past decades for cancer therapy, including targeted therapy, gene therapy, phototherapy, immunotherapy and vaccine therapy, are summarized. Furthermore, challenges for the hybrid polymer-protein systems in cancer therapy are exemplified, and the perspectives of the field are covered.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive "smart" hydrogel biomaterials have attracted great attention in the biomedical field, especially in designing novel on-demand drug delivery systems. As a handful natural biomaterial approved by US Food and Drug Administration, silk fibroin (SF) has unique high temperature resistance as well as tunable structural composition. These properties make it one of the most ideal candidates for on-demand drug delivery. Meanwhile, recent advances in polymer modification and nanomaterials have fostered the development of various stimuli-responsive delivery systems. Here, we first review the recent advance in designing responsive SF-based delivery systems in different stimulus sources. These systems are able to release mediators in a desired manner in response to specific stimuli in active or passive manners. We then describe applications of these specially designed responsive delivery systems in wound healing, tumor therapy, as well as immunomodulation. We also discuss the future challenges and prospects of stimuli-responsive SF-based delivery systems.

Abstract
In view of the critical importance of oxygen to corrosion evolution, to starve corrosion via depleting oxygen in coatings is a promising strategy. In this work, a novel nanocatalytic anticorrosion concept is proposed to design new coating with outstanding corrosion resistance. Different from the passive barrier of traditional coatings and self-repair after corrosion of current stimuli-feedback coatings, such coating could spontaneously eliminate internal diffused oxygen and greatly suppress the corrosion process. As a proof of concept, single-atom Fe-N-C electrocatalyst with isolated FeN4 active sites is synthesized by a simple confined carbonization method, exhibiting excellent oxygen reduction performance (E1/2 = 0.902 V). In composite coating, the evenly dispersed Fe-N-C compensates for the coating defects and serves as oxygen scavengers, which could actively adsorb and consume ambient oxygen, thereby preventing oxygen penetration to the metal substrate surface, eliminating the oxygen contribution to corrosion and significantly boosting the anticorrosion performance of epoxy coating. This in-situ mediation for oxygen in coating prevents metal substrate from receiving new supply of oxygen, while imparting active anticorrosion property to the coating.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Resveratrol (Res) was a naturally occurring polyphenol compound. It has various beneficial effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-cancer effects. However, the anti-cancer activity was hindered by its low targeting and drug release performance. Thus, we synthesized transferrin-cathepsin B cleavable peptide modified mesoporous silica nanoparticle encapsulated Res (Tf-Res-MSN). METHODS Res was encapsulated in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN), which was a kind of drug carrier complex. Tf was modified to recognize the cancer cells. Cathepsin B cleavable peptide (Pep) was used to combine Res-MSN complex and Tf to construct the final product. Pep was used as linker and trigger for Res release. KEY FINDINGS The smart nanocarriers were increased the drug release performance of Res in human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells. The physicochemical properties of Tf-Res-MSN were assessed by zeta potential, UV-Prove, diffraction scanning calorimetry (DSC), nitrogen physisorption analysis and transmission electron microscope (TEM). MTT assay, AO and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining were performed to explore the anti-tumour activity of Tf-Res-MSN. The results showed that Tf-Res-MSN significantly decreased cell viability and increased cell apoptosis. The inhibition rate and apoptotic rate of Tf-Res-MSN in MCF-7 cells were 95.75% and 80.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that Tf-Res-MSN was a valuable technique with potential value in breast cancer applications.

Abstract
The limitations of traditional cancer treatments are driving the creation and development of new nanomedicines. At present, with the rapid increase of research on nanomedicine in the field of cancer, there is a lack of intuitive analysis of the development trend, main authors and research hotspots of nanomedicine in the field of cancer, as well as detailed elaboration of possible research hotspots. In this review, data collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database between January 1st, 2000, and December 31st, 2021, were subjected to a bibliometric analysis. The co-authorship, co-citation, and co-occurrence of countries, institutions, authors, literature, and keywords in this subject were examined using VOSviewer, Citespace, and a well-known online bibliometrics platform. We collected 19,654 published papers, China produced the most publications (36.654%, 7204), followed by the United States (29.594%, 5777), and India (7.780%, 1529). An interesting fact is that, despite China having more publications than the United States, the United States still dominates this field, having the highest H-index and the most citations. Acs Nano, Nano Letters, and Biomaterials are the top three academic publications that publish articles on nanomedicine for cancer out of a total of 7580 academic journals. The most significant increases were shown for the keywords "cancer nanomedicine", "tumor microenvironment", "nanoparticles", "prodrug", "targeted nanomedicine", "combination", and "cancer immunotherapy" indicating the promising area of research. Meanwhile, the development prospects and challenges of nanomedicine in cancer are also discussed and provided some solutions to the major obstacles.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COF), a class of emerging microporous polymers, have been restrained for drug delivery applications due to their limited controllability over particle sizes and degradability. Herein, a dendritic mesoporous silica nanosphere (DMSN)-mediated growth strategy is proposed to fabricate hierarchical DMSN@COF hybrids through in situ growing of 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene and 2,5-dimethoxyterephthaldehyde connected COF with acid cleavable C=N bonds. After the removal of the DMSN template, COF hierarchical particles (COF HP) with tailored particle sizes and degradability were obtained. Notably, the COF HP could be degraded by 55% after 24 h of incubation at pH 5.5, whereas the counterpart bulk COF only showed 15% of degradation in the same conditions. Due to the improved porosity and surface area, the COF HP can be utilized to load the chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin (DOX), with a high loading (46.8 wt%), outperforming the bulk COF (32.1 wt%). Moreover, around 90% of the loaded DOX can be discharged from the COF HP within 8 h of incubation at pH 5.5, whereas, only ~55% of the loaded DOX was released from the bulk COF. Cell experiments demonstrated that the IC50 value of the DOX loaded in COF HP was 2-3 times lower than that of the DOX loaded in the bulk COF and the hybrid DMSN@COF. Attributed to the high loading capacity and more pH-labile particle deconstruction properties, COF HP shows great potential in the application as vehicles for drug delivery.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most challenging, life-threatening illnesses to cure, with over 10 million new cases diagnosed each year globally. Improved diagnostic cum treatment with common side-effects are warranting for successful therapy. Nanomaterials are recognized to improve early diagnosis, imaging, and treatment. Recently, multifunctional nanocomposites attracted considerable interest due to their low-cost production, and ideal thermal and chemical stability, and will be beneficial in future diagnostics and customized treatment capacity. Stimuli-Responsive Hybrid Metal Nanocomposites (SRHMNs) based nanocomposite materials pose the on/off delivery of bioactive compounds such as medications, genes, RNA, and DNA to specific tissue or organs and reduce toxicity. They simultaneously serve as sophisticated imaging and diagnostic tools when certain stimuli (e.g., temperature, pH, redox, ultrasound, or enzymes) activate the nanocomposite, resulting in the imaging-guided transport of the payload at defined sites. This review in detail addresses the recent advancements in the design and mechanism of internal breakdown processes of the functional moiety from stimuli-responsive systems in response to a range of stimuli coupled with metal nanoparticles. Also, it provides a thorough understanding of SRHMNs, enabling non-invasive interventional therapy by resolving several difficulties in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica materials have attracted great research interest for various applications ranging from (bio)catalysis and sensing to drug delivery. It remains challenging to prepare hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSN) with large center-radial mesopores that could provide a more efficient transport channel through the cell for guest molecules. Here, we propose a novel strategy for the preparation of HMSN with large dendritic mesopores to achieve higher enzyme loading capacity and more efficient bioreactors. The materials were prepared by combining barium sulfate nanoparticles (BaSO4 NP) as a hard template and the in situ-formed 3-aminophenol/formaldehyde resin as a porogen for directing the dendritic mesopores’ formation. HMSNs with different particle sizes, shell thicknesses, and pore structures have been prepared by choosing BaSO4 NP of various sizes and adjusting the amount of tetraethyl orthosilicate added in synthesis. The obtained HMSN-1.1 possesses a high pore volume (1.07 cm3 g−1), a large average pore size (10.9 nm), and dendritic mesopores that penetrated through the shell. The advantages of HMSNs are also demonstrated for enzyme (catalase) immobilization and subsequent use of catalase-loaded HMSNs as bioreactors for catalyzing the H2O2 degradation reaction. The hollow and dendritic mesoporous shell features of HMSNs provide abundant tunnels for molecular transport and more accessible surfaces for molecular adsorption, showing great promise in developing efficient nanoreactors and drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Background Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline antibiotic that inhibits the growth of several solid and hematologic malignant tumors. Increasing the targeting ability of DOX and reducing the multi-drug resistance (MDR) of tumor cells to DOX are major aims for researchers. Purpose In this study, to increase therapeutic efficiency, reduce the side effects and the MDR of tumor cells to DOX, D-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 2000 succinate monoester (TPGS2000)-DOX prodrug micelles were developed by grafting DOX to TPGS2000 via an amide bond that release DOX in the slightly acidic conditions in tumor tissue. Materials and Methods The TPGS2000-DOX micelles were constructed using polyethylene glycol 12-hydroxy stearate (Solutol HS15) as the carrier. The in vitro drug release profile and dilution stability of the nanomicelles were determined. The in vitro cytotoxicity and distribution of the nanomicelles in the tumor cells were also investigated. Moreover, we explored the therapeutic outcomes using the MCF-7/ADR tumor-bearing murine model. Results The average particle size was approximately 30 nm with a narrow distribution, which was conducive for solid tumor accumulation. The results of in vivo imaging and in vitro cellular uptake assays demonstrated that the TPGS2000-DOX micelles increased the tumor-targeting ability and cellular uptake of DOX. The anticancer potential of TPGS2000-DOX micelles was higher than that of DOX, as revealed by in vitro cytotoxic assays with MCF-7/ADR cells and in vivo antitumor assays with MCF-7 tumor-bearing nude mice. Conclusion TPGS2000-DOX prodrug micelles reverse the MDR of tumor cells, achieve passive targeting by forming nanomicelles, and subsequently enhance the efficacy and reduce the toxicity of DOX.

Abstract
Hollow structures have demonstrated great potential in drug delivery owing to their privileged structure, such as high surface-to-volume ratio, low density, large cavities, and hierarchical pores. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of hollow structured materials applied in targeting recognition, smart response, and drug release, and we have addressed the possible chemical factors and reactions in these three processes. The advantages of hollow nanostructures are summarized as follows: hollow cavity contributes to large loading capacity; a tailored structure helps controllable drug release; variable compounds adapt to flexible application; surface modification facilitates smart responsive release. Especially, because the multiple physical barriers and chemical interactions can be induced by multishells, hollow multishelled structure is considered as a promising material with unique loading and releasing properties. Finally, we conclude this review with some perspectives on the future research and development of the hollow structures as drug carriers.

Abstract
Two novel stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) were successfully created from bovine serum albumin- or myoglobin-gated upconversion nanoparticle-embedded mesoporous silica nanovehicles (UCNP@mSiO2) via diselenide (Se-Se)-containing linkages. More importantly, multiple roles of each scaffold of the nanovehicles were achieved. The controlled release of the encapsulated drug doxorubicin (DOX) within the mesopores was activated by triple stimuli (acidic pH, glutathione, or H2O2) of tumor microenvironments, owing to the conformation/surface charge changes in proteins or the reductive/oxidative cleavages of the Se-Se bonds. Upon release of DOX, the Förster resonance energy transfer between the UCNP cores and encapsulated DOX was eliminated, resulting in an increase in ratiometric upconversion luminescence for DOX release tracking in real time. The two protein-gated DDSs showed some differences in the drug release performances, relevant to structures and properties of the protein nanogates. The introduction of the Se-Se linkages not only increased the versatility of reductive/oxidative cleavages but also showed less cytotoxicity to all cell lines. The DOX-loaded protein-gated nanovehicles showed the inhibitory effect on tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice and negligible damage/toxicity to the normal tissues. The constructed nanovehicles in a spatiotemporally controlled manner have fascinating prospects in targeted drug delivery for cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent used for the treatment of various types of cancer. However, its poor solubility, undesirable side effects, and short half-life have remained a challenge. We used a formulation based on graphene oxide as an anticancer drug delivery system for DOX in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, to address these issues. In vitro release studies confirmed that the synthesized formulation has an improved release profile in acidic conditions (similar to the tumor microenvironment). Further in vitro studies, including MTT, uptake, and apoptosis assays were performed. The toxic effects of the nanocarrier on the kidney, heart and liver of healthy rats were also evaluated. We observed that the DOX-loaded carrier improved the cytotoxic effect of DOX on the breast cell line compared to free DOX. In summary, our results introduce the DOX-loaded carrier as a potential platform for in vitro targeting of cancer cells and suggest further studies are necessary to investigate its in vivo anti-cancer potential.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic nanomedicines can exploit the neighboring effect to increase tumor penetration. However, the neighboring effect is limited, likely by the consumption of chemotherapeutic agents and resistance of internal hypoxic tumor cells. Here, we first propose and demonstrate that apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs) could carry the remaining drugs to neighboring tumor cells after apoptosis. To enhance the ApoBD-based neighboring effect, we fabricated disulfide-linked prodrug nanoparticles consisting of camptothecin (CPT) and hypoxia-activated prodrug PR104A. CPT kills external normoxic tumor cells to produce ApoBDs, while PR104A remains inactive. The remaining drugs could be effectively delivered into internal tumor cells via ApoBDs. Although CPT exhibits low toxicity to internal hypoxic tumor cells, PR104A could be activated to exert strong cytotoxicity, which further facilitates deep penetration of the remaining drugs. Such a synergic approach could overcome the limitations of the neighboring effect to penetrate deep into solid tumors for whole tumor destruction.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) display promising antitumor effects, however, the poor water solubility severely limited its clinical application. To overcome this problem, polymeric nanocarriers have been adopted for targeted CUR delivery and enhanced cancer therapy. In this paper, utilizing an acid-labile hydrazone linkage, hydrophobic CUR was conjugated with hydrophilic hyaluronic acid (HA) to form amphiphilic HA-ADH-CUR conjugates, which could subsequently self-assemble to form nanoparticles (HA@CUR NPs) in aqueous. The in vitro drug release experiments showed that HA@CUR NPs exhibited a pH-responsive CUR release behavior, and the release rate of CUR was 73.5 % in pH 5.0. Further, in vitro cell experiments showed HA@CUR NPs could be efficiently internalized by 4T1 and MCF-7 cancer cells through CD44 receptor mediated endocytosis and successfully release CUR in acidic lysosome environment for chemotherapy. In vivo antitumor experiments showed that, compared to free CUR, HA@CUR NPs could efficiently cumulate in tumor site via EPR effect and CD44 mediated endocytosis, achieve superior therapeutic effect for tumor growth suppression. Therefore, HA@CUR NPs were a highly promising nanocarrier for hydrophobic CUR to realize enhanced cancer therapy with good biosafety.

Abstract
In the past few decades, polymeric nanocarriers have been recognized as promising tools and have gained attention from researchers for their potential to efficiently deliver bioactive compounds, including drugs, proteins, genes, nucleic acids, etc., in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Remarkably, these polymeric nanocarriers could be further modified as stimuli-responsive systems based on the mechanism of triggered release, i.e., response to a specific stimulus, either endogenous (pH, enzymes, temperature, redox values, hypoxia, glucose levels) or exogenous (light, magnetism, ultrasound, electrical pulses) for the effective biodistribution and controlled release of drugs or genes at specific sites. Various nanoparticles (NPs) have been functionalized and used as templates for imaging systems in the form of metallic NPs, dendrimers, polymeric NPs, quantum dots, and liposomes. The use of polymeric nanocarriers for imaging and to deliver active compounds has attracted considerable interest in various cancer therapy fields. So-called smart nanopolymer systems are built to respond to certain stimuli such as temperature, pH, light intensity and wavelength, and electrical, magnetic and ultrasonic fields. Many imaging techniques have been explored including optical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear imaging, ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging (PAI), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET). This review reports on the most recent developments in imaging methods by analyzing examples of smart nanopolymers that can be imaged using one or more imaging techniques. Unique features, including nontoxicity, water solubility, biocompatibility, and the presence of multiple functional groups, designate polymeric nanocues as attractive nanomedicine candidates. In this context, we summarize various classes of multifunctional, polymeric, nano-sized formulations such as liposomes, micelles, nanogels, and dendrimers.

Abstract
Pharmacological Relevance Paclitaxel (PTX) is currently the only botanical drug that can control the growth of cancer cells. Paclitaxel is widely used in the treatment of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and other cancers. Aim Folate receptor and integrin α v β 3 are highly expressed on the surface of human breast cancer cells MCF-7. Folic acid and arginine-glycine-aspartate (Arg-Gly-Asp, RGD) tripeptide sequence have a high affinity for folate receptor and integrin α v β 3, respectively. To enhance the effect on breast cancer, we constructed the folate acid and RGD peptide dual-targeted (MSNs-NH2-FA-RGD) drug-carrier based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Methods The structure of mesoporous nanocarriers was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis, transmission electron microscopy, laser particle size analyzer, and thermogravimetric analysis. Paclitaxel was chosen as the model drug. The targeting-ability was verified by observing the uptake of mesoporous carriers loaded with rhodamine in MCF-7, MCF-10A, and HeLa cells using a fluorescence microscope. The cytotoxicity of the blank carrier MSNs-NH2-FA-RGD and the efficacy of the drug carrier PTX@MSNs-NH2-FA-RGD were assessed by cell experiments. Results The characterization showed successful construction of a dual-targeted mesoporous silica nanocarrier. Obvious differences were detected in the fluorescence intensity of the three cell lines. The results of the pharmacological tests indicated that the blank nanoparticles do not cause any apparent toxicity on these cells. The IC50 of free PTX and PTX@MSNs-NH2-FA-RGD on MCF-7 cells line treated for 48 h were 35.25±2.57 ng·ml-1 and 22.21±3.4 ng·ml-1 respectively, which indicated that the inhibitory efficacy of PTX@MSNs-NH2-FA-RGD on MCF-7 was 1.6 times than that of free PTX. Conclusions The dual-targeted nanocarrier MSNs-NH2-FA-RGD could target breast cancer cells, and sever as a potential candidate in future of drug development.

Abstract
The vast majority of nanomaterials have attracted an upsurge of interest since their discovery and considerable researches are being carried out about their adverse outcomes for human health and the environment. In this study, two regression-based quantitative structure-activity relationship models for nanoparticles (nano-QSAR) were established to predict the cellular uptakes of 109 functionalized magneto-fluorescent nanoparticles to pancreatic cancer cells (PaCa2) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) lines, respectively. The improved SMILES-based optimal descriptors encoded with certain easily available physicochemical properties were proposed to describe the molecular structure characteristics of the involved nanoparticles, and the Monte Carlo method was used for calculating the improved SMILES-based optimal descriptors. Both developed nano-QSAR models for cellular uptake prediction provided satisfactory statistical results, with the squared correlation coefficient (R2) being 0.852 and 0.905 for training sets, and 0.822 and 0.885 for test sets, respectively. Both models were rigorously validated and further extensively compared to literature models. Predominant physicochemical features responsible for cellular uptake were identified by model interpretation. The proposed models could be reasonably expected to provide guidance for synthesizing or choosing safer, more suitable surface modifiers of desired properties prior to their biomedical applications.

Intravenous delivery of enzalutamide based on high drug loading multifunctional graphene oxide nanoparticles for castration-resistant prostate cancer therapy. J Nanobiotechnology 2020; 18:50.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enzalutamide (Enz) has shown limited bioavailability via oral administration. Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is frequent among patients receiving 18-24 months of androgen deprivation therapy. The nonsteroidal anti-androgen enzalutamide (Enz) used in the treatment of prostate cancer has shown limited bioavailability via oral administration. Therefore, we developed a multifunctional enzalutamide-loaded graphene oxide nanosystem (TP-GQDss/Enz) for CRPC intravenous treatment, with high drug loading efficiency. METHODS Aminated graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were first cross-linked via disulfide bonds into a graphene quantum dot derivative of approximately 200 nm (GQDss), which was further functionalized with a tumour-targeting peptide and PEG to form TP-GQDss. Enz was loaded into TP-GQDss for in vitro and in vivo study. RESULTS The results showed that high drug-loading efficiency was achieved by TP-GQDss via π-π electron interaction. TP-GQDss could be rapidly internalized by CRPC cells via endocytosis. Moreover, Enz in TP-GQDss could inhibit the growth of C4-2B and LNCaP prostate cancer cell lines in vitro. Further, TP-GQDss exhibited an enhanced cancer-targeting ability and alleviated the side effects of Enz in vivo. CONCLUSIONS The multifunctional nanocarrier constructed here could accomplish controlled Enz release and serve as an intravenous therapy platform for CRPC.

Abstract
One appealing concept in the field of hybrid materials is related to the design of gated materials. These materials are prepared in such a way that the release of chemical or biochemical species from voids of porous supports to a solution is triggered upon the application of external stimuli. Such gated materials are mainly composed of two subunits: i) a porous inorganic scaffold in which a cargo is stored, and ii) certain molecular or supramolecular entities, grafted onto the external surface, that can control mass transport from the interior of the pores. On the basis of this concept, a large number of examples are developed in the past ten years. A comprehensive overview of gated materials used in drug delivery applications in in vivo models from 2016 to date is thus given here.

Abstract
Biomimetic nanoparticles (NPs) have been actively studied for their biological compatibility due to its distinguished abilities viz. long-term circulation, low toxicity, ease for surface modification, and its ability to avoid phagocytosis of NPs by macrophages. Coating the NPs with a variety of cell membranes bearing the immune control proteins increases drug efficacy while complementing the intrinsic advantages of the NPs. In this study, efforts were made to introduce oxophilic radiometal 89Zr with hollow mesoporous silica nanospheres (HMSNs) having abundant silanol groups and were bioengineered with red blood cell membrane (Rm) having cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) protein to evaluate its long-term in vivo behavior. We were successful in demonstrating the increased in vivo stability of synthesized Rm-camouflaged, 89Zr-labelled HMSNs with the markedly reduced 89Zr release. Rm camouflaged 89Zr-HMSNs effectively accumulated in the tumor by avoiding phagocytosis of macrophages. In addition, re-injecting the Rm isolated using the blood of the same animal helped to overcome the immune barrier. This novel strategy can be applied extensively to identify the long-term in vivo behavior of nano-drugs while enhancing their biocompatibility.

Abstract
Since the first report in early 1990s, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have progressively attracted the attention of scientists due to their potential applications in physic, energy storage, imaging, and especially in biomedical engineering. Owning the unique physiochemical properties, such as highly porosity, large surface area and pore volume, functionalizable, tunable pore and particle sizes and biocompatibility, and high loading cavity, MSNs offer efficient encapsulation and then controlled release, and in some cases, intracellular delivery of bioactive molecules for biomedical applications. During the last decade, functionalized MSNs that show respond upon the surrounding stimulus changes, such as temperature, pH, redox, light, ultrasound, magnetic or electric fields, enzyme, redox, ROS, glucose, and ATP, or their combinations, have continuously revolutionized their potential applications in biomedical engineering. Therefore, this review focuses on discussion the recent fabrication of functionalized MSNs and their potential applications in drug delivery, therapeutic treatments, diagnostic imaging, and biocatalyst. In addition, some potential clinical applications and challenges will also be discussed.

Abstract
Disbalanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) are characteristic features of tumor cells. High intracellular GSH concentration in tumor cells is a well-documented fact that leads to a very high reducing intracellular bio-milieu. High accumulation of ROS is known to occur in almost all cancers and can act as a two-edged sword during tumor development, by either promoting or inhibiting growth. These two features present unique opportunities to design drug delivery systems that are responsive to reduction or/and oxidation stimuli and has attracted accrued interest from researchers. These nanocarriers change their structural integrity, either through disassembly or degradation, to deliver their payload in the presence of the trigger. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the key developments in the design of materials with redox-responsive behaviour and their subsequent application in the field of nanomedicine targeting cancer. Strategies into exploiting both stimuli in a single nano drug delivery system to enhance therapeutic efficacy are also addressed.

Abstract
Multi-stimulation responsive nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems promise enhanced therapeutic efficacy in cancer therapy. This work examines a smart pH/GSH dual-responsive drug delivery system by using dialdehyde dextrin (DAD) end-capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). Specifically, DAD was applied as a "gatekeeper polymer" agent to seal drug loads inside the mesoporous of MSNs via a pH-sensitive Schiff bond, whereas the formed DAD polymer shells were further cross-linked by GSH-sensitive disulfide bonds. Results revealed that the DAD gatekeeper polymer could tightly close the mesopores of MSNs to control premature drug release under physiological conditions and respond to acidic and GSH conditions to release the trapped drugs. Significantly, fluorescent microscopy observation and cytotoxicity studies indicated that drug-loaded nanoparticles could be rapidly internalized through a passive targeting effect to inhibit cancer growth. Taken together, these polymer-modified pH/GSH dual-responsive MSNs could be used as promising candidates for "on-demand" anticancer drug delivery applications.

Micelle directed chemical polymerization of polypyrrole particles for the electrically triggered release of dexamethasone base and dexamethasone phosphate. Int J Pharm 2018; 543:38-45.

Abstract
Conducting polymers such as polypyrrole (PPy) can be used as electrically responsive drug delivery systems typically prepared by electrochemical polymerisation, however, the amount of drug that can be delivered is typically low. To increase drug delivery capacity and prepare larger amounts of polymer, PPy nanoparticles were produced by chemical polymerisation over drug-loaded micelles. Two forms of dexamethasone were included to increase total drug loading and to explore the mechanisms of loading and release. The particles produced were approximately 50 nm in size and their conductivity and reversible redox activity were demonstrated. Loading of the hydrophobic dexamethasone base was more efficient than for the more hydrophilic phosphate salt. After pressing the particles into the desired form, electrically-responsive drug release was achieved with a pulsed potential signal being the most effective way to trigger release. Notably, the anionic phosphate salt of the drug was more sensitive to electrically stimulated release than the uncharged base of dexamethasone, highlighting the role of electrostatic forces in driving drug release. This system has potential to be loaded with different drugs widening the scope of application of these smart particles to treat a range of disease states.

Abstract
Light responsive materials play an important role in many biomedical applications. Despite the great potential, commonly available systems are limited by their toxicity and lack of biodegradability. Here, an efficient light triggered system from safe, biodegradable star-poly(ethylene glycol) (star-PEG) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with varying melting points controlled by the length of the CL segments is described. When incorporated with gold nanoshells (GNS) and exposed to near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, matrices temporarily disengage, thus allowing efficient on-demand healing and drug release. The responsiveness of this system to light, with its tailorable physical and healing properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and the capability to incorporate drugs and on-demand drug release are all desirable traits for numerous clinical applications.

Abstract
A novel multifunctional nanodevice based in doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as nanoplatforms for the assembly of different building blocks has been developed for bone cancer treatment. These building blocks consists of: i) a polyacrylic acid (PAA) capping layer grafted to MSNs via an acid-cleavable acetal linker, to minimize premature cargo release and provide the nanosystem of pH-responsive drug delivery ability; and ii) a targeting ligand, the plant lectin concanavalin A (ConA), able to selectively recognize, bind and internalize owing to certain cell-surface glycans, such as sialic acids (SA), overexpressed in given tumor cells. This multifunctional nanosystem exhibits a noticeable higher internalization degree into human osteosarcoma cells (HOS), overexpressing SA, compared to healthy preosteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1). Moreover, the results indicate that small DOX loading (2.5 µg mL-1) leads to almost 100% of osteosarcoma cell death in comparison with healthy bone cells, which significantly preserve their viability. Besides, this nanodevice has a cytotoxicity on tumor cells 8-fold higher than that caused by the free drug. These findings demonstrate that the synergistic combination of different building blocks into a unique nanoplatform increases antitumor effectiveness and decreases toxicity towards normal cells. This line of attack opens up new insights in targeted bone cancer therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The development of highly selective and efficient tumor-targeted smart drug delivery nanodevices remains a great challenge in nanomedicine. This work reports the design and optimization of a multifunctional nanosystem based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) featuring selectivity towards human osteosarcoma cells and pH-responsive antitumor drug delivery capability. The novelty and originality of this manuscript relies on proving that the synergistic assembly of different building blocks into a unique nanoplatform increases antitumor effectiveness and decreases toxicity towards healthy cells, which constitutes a new paradigm in targeted bone cancer therapy.
