Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2024; 1868:130643. [PMID: 38797254 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2024.130643] [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: 12/09/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Nanocarrier surface functionalization has been widely regarded as a promising approach for achieving precise and targeted drug delivery systems. In this work, the fabrication of functionalized-Ag-decorated Fe3O4@SiO2 (Fe3O4@SiO2-Ag) nanocarriers with folic acid (FA) and β-cyclodextrin (BCD) exhibit a remarkable capacity for delivering two types of anticancer drugs, i.e., doxorubicin (DOX) and epirubicin (EPI), into cancer cells. The effective functionalization of Fe3O4@SiO2-Ag nanoparticles has been achieved through the use of cysteine (Cys) as an anchor for attaching FA and BCD via EDC-NHS coupling and Steglich esterification methods, respectively. The findings indicate that surface functionalization had no significant impact on the physicochemical characteristics of the nanoparticles. However, it notably affected DOX and EPI loading and release efficiency. The electrostatic conjugation of DOX/EPI onto the surface of Fe3O4@SiO2-Ag/Cys/FA and Fe3O4@SiO2-Ag/Cys/BCD exhibited maximum loading efficiency of 50-60% at concentration ratio of DOX/EPI to nanoparticles of 1:14. These nanocarriers also achieved an 40-47% DOX/EPI release over 36 days. Furthermore, the drug-loaded functionalized-nanocarrier showed cytotoxic effects on SK-MEL-2 cells, as demonstrated by an in vitro MTT assay. This suggests that the as-prepared functionalized-nanoparticles have promise as a carrier for the efficient anticancer drugs.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:39174-39185.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic agents fail in clinical chemotherapy in the absence of targeting and acquired resistance. We, therefore, synthesized Fe3O4@ZIF-8@Sor@TA nanocomposite drugs based on the drug delivery properties of nanomaterials. ZIF-8 is a nanomaterial with a porous structure that can load anticancer drugs. The nanodrug used the paramagnetic property of Fe3O4 to deliver sorafenib (Sor) precisely to the tumor site, then used the pH responsiveness of ZIF-8 to slowly release Sor in the tumor microenvironment, and finally used tannic acid (TA) to inhibit P-glycoprotein to suppress the Sor resistance. The results of material characterization presented that the prepared material was structurally stable and was able to achieve a cumulative drug release of 38.2% at pH 5.0 for 72 h. The good biocompatibility of the composite was demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo experiments, which could improve antitumor activity and reduce Sor resistance through magnetic targeting TA. In conclusion, the Fe3O4@ZIF-8@Sor@TA material prepared in this study demonstrated high antitumor activity in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment, promising to reduce drug resistance and providing a novel research approach for cancer treatment.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3070. [PMID: 37514459 PMCID: PMC10383388 DOI: 10.3390/polym15143070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Polymersomes are an exciting modality for drug delivery due to their structural similarity to biological cells and their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. In this regard, the current work aimed to develop multifunctional polymersomes, integrating dye (with hydrophobic Nile red and hydrophilic sulfo-cyanine5-NHS ester as model drugs) encapsulation, stimulus responsiveness, and surface-ligand modifications. Polymersomes constituting poly(N-2-hydroxypropylmethacrylamide)-b-poly(N-(2-(methylthio)ethyl)acrylamide) (PHPMAm-b-PMTEAM) are prepared by aqueous dispersion RAFT-mediated polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). The hydrophilic block lengths have an effect on the obtained morphologies, with short chain P(HPMAm)16 affording spheres and long chain P(HPMAm)43 yielding vesicles. This further induces different responses to H2O2, with spheres fragmenting and vesicles aggregating. Folic acid (FA) is successfully conjugated to the P(HPMAm)43, which self-assembles into FA-functionalized P(HPMAm)43-b-P(MTEAM)300 polymersomes. The FA-functionalized P(HPMAm)43-b-P(MTEAM)300 polymersomes entrap both hydrophobic Nile red (NR) and hydrophilic Cy5 dye. The NR-loaded FA-linked polymersomes exhibit a controlled release of the encapsulated NR dye when exposed to 10 mM H2O2. All the polymersomes formed are stable in human plasma and well-tolerated in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. These preliminary results demonstrate that, with simple and scalable chemistry, PISA offers access to different shapes and opens up the possibility of the one-pot synthesis of multicompartmental and responsive polymersomes.

Folic acid-maltodextrin polymer coated magnetic graphene oxide as a NIR-responsive nano-drug delivery system for chemo-photothermal synergistic inhibition of tumor cells. RSC Adv 2023; 13:12609-12617. [PMID: 37101949 PMCID: PMC10123490 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra02306k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The combination of chemo-photothermal therapy with high efficiency and fewer side effects has a good application prospect in cancer treatment. It is of great significance to construct a nano-drug delivery system with cancer cell targeting, high drug loading and excellent photothermal conversion efficiency. Therefore, a novel nano-drug carrier MGO-MDP-FA was successfully constructed by coating folic acid-grafted maltodextrin polymers (MDP-FA) on the surface of Fe3O4-modified graphene oxide (MGO). The nano-drug carrier combined the cancer cell targeting of FA and the magnetic targeting of MGO. A large amount of anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded by π-π interaction, hydrogen bond interaction and hydrophobic interaction, with the maximum loading amount and loading capacity of 657.9 mg g-1 and 39.68 wt%, respectively. Based on the excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of MGO, MGO-MDP-FA showed good thermal ablation effect of tumor cells in vitro under NIR irradiation. In addition, MGO-MDP-FA@DOX showed excellent chemo-photothermal synergistic tumor inhibition in vitro (tumor cell killing rate reached 80%). In conclusion, the novel nano-drug delivery system MGO-MDP-FA constructed in this paper provides a promising nano-platform for chemo-photothermal synergistic treatment of cancer.

Sumitha NS, Krishna NG, Sailaja GS. Multifunctional chitosan ferrogels for targeted cancer therapy by on-demand magnetically triggered drug delivery and hyperthermia. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 142:213137. [PMID: 36215746 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.213137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
A facile method for the synthesis of chitosan ferrogels for magnetically triggered drug release and hyperthermia treatment is presented. The glyoxal crosslinked, dried ferrogels (magnetic bioaerogels) have been characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA and VSM analyses and they possess unique characteristics such as high porosity, ultra-low density and superparamagnetism (Ms up to 56 emu g-1). In addition, they present high drug (Doxorubicin, DOX) loading efficiency (~40 %), tumor-specific pH-responsive swelling, excellent biodegradation, remotely switchable drug release and high magnetic hyperthermia potential (42 °C within 4 min). Almost complete degradation of the ferrogels occurs in 3 months under physiological conditions (pH = 7.4), while the tumor-specific microenvironment (pH = 5.6) accelerates the degradation rate, where it occurs in ~8 weeks. Furthermore, an enhancement in drug release (by 30 %) was observed in 60 min, when subjected to a magnetic field of 50 mT. Excellent biocompatibility and promising cell-material interactions have been exhibited by the ferrogels, substantiated by MTT assay, cytoskeleton staining and confocal imaging. The viability has been drastically reduced for DOX-loaded samples due to the action of the released drug; validating the efficacy of DOX loaded ferrogels. The system presented, therefore, holds multi-functionalities enabling smart cancer treatment.
