[PMID: 39091195 DOI: 10.1080/17435390.2024.2386019] [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: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
The need of the hour with respect to cancer treatment is a targeted approach with minimal or nil ramifications. Apropos, magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) is emerging as a potential therapeutic strategy with anticipated reduced side effects for solid tumors. MFH causes cytotoxicity due to the heat generated owing to Hysteresis, Neel, and Brownian relaxation losses once magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) carrying cancer cells are placed under an alternating magnetic field. With respect to MFH, iron oxide-based MNPs have been most extensively studied to date compared to other metal oxides with magnetic properties. The effectiveness of MFH relies on the composition, coating, size, physical and biocompatible properties of the MNPs. Pure iron oxide and doped iron oxide MNPs have been utilized to study their effects on cancer cell killing through MFH. This review evaluates the biocompatibility of pure and doped iron oxide MNPs and their subsequent hyperthermic effect for effectively killing cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Magnetic nanocarriers are nano-platforms that integrate multiple moieties based on magnetic nanoparticles for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In recent years, they have become an advanced platform for tumor treatment due to their wide application in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), biocatalysis, magneto-thermal therapy (MHT), and photoresponsive therapy. Drugs loaded into magnetic nanocarriers can efficiently be directed to targeted areas by precisely reshaping their structural properties. Magnetic nanocarriers allow us to track the location of the therapeutic agent, continuously control the therapeutic process and eventually assess the efficacy of the treatment. They are typically used in synergistic therapeutic applications to achieve precise and effective tumor treatment. Here we review their latest applications in tumor treatment, including stimuli-responsive drug delivery, MHT, photoresponsive therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, and synergistic therapy. We consider reducing toxicity, improving antitumor efficacy, and the targeting accuracy of magnetic nanocarriers. The challenges of their clinical translation and prospects in cancer therapy are also discussed.

Abstract
We explored the catalytic activity and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capacity of Cu-doped ultrasmall iron oxides with different doping ratios. Then, we screened a highly efficient ultrasmall active catalyst (UAC). Subsequently, a biodegradable magnetic nanoliposome was developed for multimodal cancer theranostics through pH-sensitive liposome coating of these UACs. Upon entering the body, the magnetic nanoliposomes significantly prolonged the metabolic time of UACs and promoted their accumulation in tumors. Then, the strong photothermal (PT) effect of the magnetic nanoliposome quickly ablated the tumor, showing promising PT therapy. Upon entering tumor cells, the magnetic nanoliposome rapidly degraded into many UACs and released chemotherapeutic drugs, contributing to chemotherapy. In addition, UACs not only catalyzed Fenton-type reaction to produce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) but also inhibited the synthesis of endogenous GSH by inactivating glutamyl cysteine ligase, contributing to cancer ferroptosis. Furthermore, the assembly-dissociation process of UACs showed the function of magnetic relaxation switches, significantly enhancing tumor MRI signal change, achieving a more accurate diagnosis of the tumor. Therefore, this magnetic nanoliposome splits into many UACs upon drug release and regulates the tumor microenvironment to overproduce ROS for enhanced synergistic tumor theranostics, which provides a strategy for developing next-generation magnetic catalysts with biodegradability and multimodal antitumor theranostics.

Abstract
Poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) molecule modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms were constructed by using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) modified Bi2S3 nanoparticles (∼4.6 nm) as a photothermal agent and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) coated Zn2Ga2.98Ge0.75O8:Cr0.023+ (ZGGO:Cr3+@CTAB) persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) through electrostatic adsorption. It is found that the above composite nanoplatforms have excellent laser-irradiation thermal stability and good photothermal conversion performance. The measured photothermal conversion efficiency is ∼44%, which is higher than that (∼37%) of the PLNP-GNR (gold nanorod) composite nanoplatforms. Meanwhile, PSS modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms exhibited good solution dispersibility in blood and normal tissue environments. While reaching tumor sites, the above composite nanoplatforms can be rapidly accumulated in cancer cells with acidic environments. This pH-responsive acid-induced aggregation can be ascribed to the chemical reaction induced by the protonation of PSS modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms with a negatively charged surface in the acidic environments. Our results suggest that PSS modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms might be applied to precision diagnosis and therapy of deep-tissue tumors.

Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 201:516-527.

Abstract
We report herein the design and synthesis of colloidally-stable S/Ag1.93S nanoparticles, their photothermal conversion properties and in vitro cytotoxicity toward A431 skin cancer cells under the excitation of a minimally-invasive 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser. Micron-sized S particles were first synthesized via acidifying Na2S2O3 using biocompatible sodium alginate as a surfactant. In the presence of AgNO3 and under rapid microwave-induced heating, alginate reduced AgNO3 to nascent Ag which reacted with molten S in situ to S/Ag1.93S nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized using a combination of X-ray diffraction, electron microscopies, elemental analysis, zeta-potential analysis and UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy. The average particles size was controlled between 40 and 60 nm by fixing the mole ratio of Ag+:S2O32-. When excited by a 980 nm laser, S/Ag1.93S nanoparticles (~40 nm) produced with the least amount of AgNO3 exhibited a respectable photothermal conversion efficiency of circa 62% with the test aqueous solution heated to a hyperthermia-inducing 52 °C in 15 min. At 0.7 W/cm2, the viability of A431 skin cancer cells incubated with 7.0 ± 0.2 μg/mL of S/Ag1.93S nanoparticles reduced to 14 ± 0.6%, while an A431 cell control maintained an 80% cell viability. These results suggested that S/Ag1.93S nanoparticles may have good potential in reducing metastatic skin carcinoma.

Abstract
Cancer is a growing threat to human beings. Traditional treatments for malignant tumors usually involve invasive means to healthy human tissues, such as surgical treatment and chemotherapy. In recent years the use of specific stimulus-responsive materials in combination with some non-contact, non-invasive stimuli can lead to better efficacy and has become an important area of research. It promises to develop personalized treatment systems for four types of physical stimuli: light, ultrasound, magnetic field, and temperature. Nanomaterials that are responsive to these stimuli can be used to enhance drug delivery, cancer treatment, and tissue engineering. This paper reviews the principles of the stimuli mentioned above, their effects on materials, and how they work with nanomaterials. For this aim, we focus on specific applications in controlled drug release, cancer therapy, tissue engineering, and virus detection, with particular reference to recent photothermal, photodynamic, sonodynamic, magnetothermal, radiation, and other types of therapies. It is instructive for the future development of stimulus-responsive nanomaterials for these aspects.
