Intracellular magnetic hyperthermia reverses sorafenib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma through its action on signaling pathways. iScience 2024; 27:110029. [PMID: 38883844 PMCID: PMC11176631 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.110029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Sorafenib, a first-line drug for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), unfortunately encounters resistance in most patients, leading to disease progression. Traditional approaches to counteract this resistance, particularly those targeting the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway, often face clinical feasibility limitations. Magnetic hyperthermia (MH), unlike conventional thermal therapies, emerges as a promising alternative. It uniquely combines magnetothermal effects with an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study found the potential of intracellular MH enhanced the efficacy of sorafenib, increased cellular sensitivity to sorafenib, and reversed sorafenib resistance by inhibiting the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway in an ROS-dependent manner in a sorafenib-resistant HCC cell. Further, in a sorafenib-resistant HCC mouse model, MH significantly sensitized tumors to sorafenib therapy, resulting in inhibited tumor growth and improved survival rates. This presents a promising strategy to overcome sorafenib resistance in HCC, potentially enhancing therapeutic outcomes for patients with this challenging condition.

Engineering nanomedicines for immunogenic eradication of cancer cells: Recent trends and synergistic approaches. Acta Pharm Sin B 2024; 14:2475-2504.

Abstract
Resistance to cancer immunotherapy is mainly attributed to poor tumor immunogenicity as well as the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) leading to failure of immune response. Numerous therapeutic strategies including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic, photothermal, magnetic, chemodynamic, sonodynamic and oncolytic therapy, have been developed to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) of cancer cells and thereby elicit immunogenicity and boost the antitumor immune response. However, many challenges hamper the clinical application of ICD inducers resulting in modest immunogenic response. Here, we outline the current state of using nanomedicines for boosting ICD of cancer cells. Moreover, synergistic approaches used in combination with ICD inducing nanomedicines for remodeling the TME via targeting immune checkpoints, phagocytosis, macrophage polarization, tumor hypoxia, autophagy and stromal modulation to enhance immunogenicity of dying cancer cells were analyzed. We further highlight the emerging trends of using nanomaterials for triggering amplified ICD-mediated antitumor immune responses. Endoplasmic reticulum localized ICD, focused ultrasound hyperthermia, cell membrane camouflaged nanomedicines, amplified reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, metallo-immunotherapy, ion modulators and engineered bacteria are among the most innovative approaches. Various challenges, merits and demerits of ICD inducer nanomedicines were also discussed with shedding light on the future role of this technology in improving the outcomes of cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
The successful treatment of oncological malignancies which results in long-term disease control or the complete eradication of cancerous cells necessitates the onset of adaptive immune responses targeting tumor-specific antigens. Such desirable anticancer immunity can be triggered via the induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) of cancer cells, thus converting malignant cells into an in situ vaccine that elicits T cell mediated adaptive immune responses and establishes durable immunological memory. The exploration of ICD for cancer treatment has been subject to extensive research. However, functional heterogeneity among ICD activating therapies in many cases requires specific co-medications to achieve full-blown efficacy. Here, we described the hallmarks of ICD and classify ICD activators into three distinct functional categories namely, according to their mode of action: (i) ICD inducers, which increase the immunogenicity of malignant cells, (ii) ICD sensitizers, which prime cellular circuitries for ICD induction by conventional cytotoxic agents, and (iii) ICD enhancers, which improve the perception of ICD signals by antigen presenting dendritic cells. Altogether, ICD induction, sensitization and enhancement offer the possibility to convert well-established conventional anticancer therapies into immunotherapeutic approaches that activate T cell-mediated anticancer immunity.

Abstract
Harnessing the potential of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to engulf tumor cells offers promising avenues for cancer therapy. Targeting phagocytosis checkpoints, particularly the CD47-signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) axis, is crucial for modulating TAM activity. However, single checkpoint inhibition has shown a limited efficacy. In this study, we demonstrate that ferrimagnetic vortex-domain iron oxide (FVIO) nanoring-mediated magnetic hyperthermia effectively suppresses the expression of CD47 protein on Hepa1-6 tumor cells and SIRPα receptor on macrophages, which disrupts CD47-SIRPα interaction. FVIO-mediated magnetic hyperthermia also induces immunogenic cell death and polarizes TAMs toward M1 phenotype. These changes collectively bolster the phagocytic ability of macrophages to eliminate tumor cells. Furthermore, FVIO-mediated magnetic hyperthermia concurrently escalates cytotoxic T lymphocyte levels and diminishes regulatory T cell levels. Our findings reveal that magnetic hyperthermia offers a novel approach for dual down-regulation of CD47 and SIRPα, reshaping the tumor microenvironment to stimulate immune responses, culminating in significant antitumor activity.

Abstract
Magnetic nanomaterial-mediated magnetic hyperthermia is a localized heating treatment modality that has been applied to treat aggressive cancer in clinics. In addition to being taken up by tumor cells to function in cancer therapy, magnetic nanomaterials can also be internalized by immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, which may contribute to regulating the anti-tumor immune effects. However, there exists little studies on the distribution of magnetic nanomaterials in different types of cells within tumor tissue. Herein, ferrimagnetic vortex-domain iron oxide nanorings (FVIOs) with or without the liver-cancer-targeting peptide SP94 have been successfully synthesized as a model system to investigate the effect of surface modification of FVIOs (with or without SP94) on the distribution of tumor cells and different immune cells in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) microenvironment of a mouse. The distribution ratio of FVIO-SP94s in tumor cells was 1.3 times more than that of FVIOs. Immune cells in the liver tumor microenvironment took up fewer FVIO-SP94s than FVIOs. In addition, myeloid cells were found to be much more amenable than lymphoid cells in terms of their ability to phagocytose nanoparticles. Specifically, the distributions of FVIOs/FVIO-SP94s in tumor-associated macrophages, dendritic cells, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells were 13.8%/12%, 3.7%/0.9%, and 6.3%/1.2%, respectively. While the distributions of FVIOs/FVIO-SP94s in T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells were 5.5%/0.7%, 3.0%/0.7%, and 0.4%/0.3%, respectively. The results described in this article enhance our understanding of the distribution of nanomaterials in the tumor microenvironment and provide a strategy for rational design of magnetic hyperthermia agents that can effectively regulate anti-tumor immune effects.

Abstract
Biofilms offer bacteria a physical and metabolic barrier, enhancing their tolerance to external stress. Consequently, these biofilms limit the effectiveness of conventional antimicrobial treatment. Recently, quorum sensing (QS) has been linked to biofilm's stress response to thermal, oxidative, and osmotic stress. Herein, a multiple synergistic therapeutic strategy that couples quorum sensing interference assisted therapy (QSIAT)-mediated enhanced thermal therapy with bacteria-triggered immunomodulation in a single nanoplatform, is presented. First, as magnetic hyperthermia amplifier, hyaluronic acid-coated ferrite (HA@MnFe2 O4 ) attenuates the stress response of biofilm by down-regulating QS-related genes, including agrA, agrC, and hld. Next, the sensitized bacteria are eliminated with magnetic heat. QS interference and heat also destruct the biofilm, and provide channels for further penetration of nanoparticles. Moreover, triggered by bacterial hyaluronidase, the wrapped hyaluronic acid (HA) decomposes into disaccharides at the site of infection and exerts healing effect. Thus, by reversing the bacterial tissue invasion mechanism for antimicrobial purpose, tissue regeneration following pathogen invasion and thermal therapy is successfully attained. RNA-sequencing demonstrates the QS-mediated stress response impairment. In vitro and in vivo experiments reveal the excellent antibiofilm and anti-inflammatory effects of HA@MnFe2 O4 . Overall, QSIAT provides a universal enhancement strategy for amplifying the bactericidal effects of conventional therapy via stress response interference.

Abstract
The Curie temperature is an important thermo-characteristic of magnetic materials, which causes a phase transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic by changing the spontaneous re-arrangement of their spins (intrinsic magnetic mechanism) due to an increase in temperature. The self-control-temperature (SCT) leads to the conversion of ferro/ferrimagnetic materials to paramagnetic materials, which can extend the temperature-based applications of these materials from industrial nanotechnology to the biomedical field. In this case, magnetic induction hyperthermia (MIH) with self-control-temperature has been proposed as a physical thermo-therapeutic method for killing cancer tumors in a biologically safe environment. Specifically, the thermal source of MIH is magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and thus their biocompatibility and Curie temperature are two important properties, where the former is required for their clinical application, while the latter acts as a switch to automatically control the temperature of MIH. In this review, we focus on the Curie temperature of magnetic materials and provide a complete overview beginning with basic magnetism and its inevitable relation with Curie's law, theoretical prediction and experimental measurement of the Curie temperature. Furthermore, we discuss the significance, evolution from different types of alloys to ferrites and impact of the shape, size, and concentration of particles on the Curie temperature considering the proposed SCT-based MIH together with their biocompatibility. Also, we highlight the thermal efficiency of MNPs in destroying tumor cells and the significance of a low Curie temperature. Finally, the challenges, concluding remarks, and future perspectives in promoting self-control-temperature based MIH to clinical application are discussed.

Single-cell transcriptomics reveals ferrimagnetic vortex iron oxide nanoring-mediated mild magnetic hyperthermia exerts antitumor effects by alleviating macrophage suppression in breast cancer. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 170:115954. [PMID: 38039753 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115954] [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: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The potential of Ferrimagnetic vortex iron oxide nanoring-mediated mild magnetic hyperthermia (FVIO-MHT) in solid tumor therapy has been demonstrated. However, the impact of FVIO-MHT on the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains unclear. This study utilized single-cell transcriptome sequencing to examine the alterations in the TME in response to FVIO-MHT in breast cancer. The results revealed the cellular composition within the tumor microenvironment (TME) was primarily modified due to a decrease in tumor cells and an increased infiltration of myeloid cells. Subsequently, an enhancement in active oxygen (ROS) metabolism was observed, indicating oxidative damage to tumor cells. Interestingly, FVIO-MHT reprogrammed the macrophages' phenotypes, as evidenced by alterations in the transcriptome characteristics associated with both classic and alternative activated phenotypes. And an elevated level of ROS generation and oxidative phosphorylation suggested that activated phagocytosis and inflammation occurred in macrophages. Additionally, cell-cell communication analysis revealed that FVIO-MHT attenuated the suppression between tumor cells and macrophages by inhibiting phagocytic checkpoint and macrophage migration inhibitory factor signaling pathways. Inhibition of B2m, an anti-phagocytosis checkpoint, could promote macrophage-mediated phagocytosis and significantly inhibit tumor growth. These data emphasize FVIO-MHT may promote the antitumor capabilities of macrophages by alleviating the suppression between tumor cells and macrophages.

Abstract
PURPOSE Magnetic particle hyperthermia is an approved cancer treatment that harnesses thermal energy generated by magnetic nanoparticles when they are exposed to an alternating magnetic field (AMF). Thermal stress is either directly cytotoxic or increases the susceptibility of cancer cells to standard therapies, such as radiation. As with other thermal therapies, the challenge with nanoparticle hyperthermia is controlling energy delivery. Here, we describe the design and implementation of a prototype pre-clinical device, called HYPER, that achieves spatially confined nanoparticle heating within a user-selected volume and location. DESIGN Spatial control of nanoparticle heating was achieved by placing an AMF generating coil (340 kHz, 0-15 mT), between two opposing permanent magnets. The relative positions between the magnets determined the magnetic field gradient (0.7 T/m-2.3 T/m), which in turn governed the volume of the field free region (FFR) between them (0.8-35 cm3). Both the gradient value and position of the FFR within the AMF ([-14, 14]x, [-18, 18]y, [-30, 30]z) mm are values selected by the user via the graphical user interface (GUI). The software then controls linear actuators that move the static magnets to adjust the position of the FFR in 3D space based on user input. Within the FFR, the nanoparticles generate hysteresis heating; however, outside the FFR where the static field is non-negligible, the nanoparticles are unable to generate hysteresis loss power. VERIFICATION We verified the performance of the HYPER to design specifications by independently heating two nanoparticle-rich areas of a phantom placed within the volume occupied by the AMF heating coil.

Abstract
Magnetothermodynamic (MTD) therapy can activate antitumor immune responses by inducing potent immunogenic tumor cell death. However, tumor development is often accompanied by multifarious immunosuppressive mechanisms that can counter the efficacy of immunogenic MTD therapy. High-mobility group protein A1 (HMGA1) is overexpressed within hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and plays a crucial function in the generation of immunosuppressive effects. The reversal of HMGA1-mediated immunosuppression could enhance immunogenic tumor cell death-induced immune responses. A ferrimagnetic vortex-domain iron oxide (FVIO) nanoring-based nanovehicle was developed, which is capable of efficiently mediating an alternating magnetic field for immunogenic tumor cell death induction, while concurrently delivering HMGA1 small interfering (si)RNA (siHMGA1) to the cytoplasm of hepatocellular carcinoma Hepa 1-6 cells for HMGA1 pathway interference. Using siHMGA1-FVIO-mediated MTD therapy, the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma Hepa 1-6 tumors was inhibited, and the survival of a mouse model was improved. We also demonstrated that siHMGA1-FVIO-mediated MTD achieved synergistic antitumor effects in a subcutaneous hepatocellular carcinoma Hepa 1-6 and H22 tumor model by promoting dendritic cell maturation, enhancing antigen-presenting molecule expression (both major histocompatibility complexes I and II), improving tumor-infiltrating T lymphocyte numbers, and decreasing immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells, interleukin-10, and transforming growth factor-β expression. The nanoparticle system outlined in this paper has the potential to target HMGA1 and, in combination with MTD-induced immunotherapy, is a promising approach for hepatocellular carcinoma treatment.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is an attractive approach for cancer therapy, while its antitumor efficacy is still limited, especially for non-immunogenic tumors. Nanomedicines can be utilized to convert the non-immunogenic "cold" tumors to immunogenic "hot" tumors via inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), thereby promoting the antitumor immune response. Some nanomedicines that can produce local heat and reactive oxygen species upon the stimulation of electromagnetic energy are the main candidates for inducing the ICD effect. However, their applications are often restricted due to the poor tissue penetration depths of electromagnetic energy, such as light. By contrast, ultrasound, X-ray, alternating magnetic field, and microwave show excellent tissue penetration depths and thereby can be used for sonodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, magnetic hyperthermia therapy, and microwave ablation therapy, all of which can effectively induce ICD. Herein, the combination of deep-tissue electromagnetic energy with nanomedicines for inducing ICD and cancer immunotherapy are summarized. In particular, the designs of nanomedicines to amplify ICD effect in the presence of deep-tissue electromagnetic energy and sensitize tumors to various immunotherapies will be discussed. At the end of this review, a brief conclusion and discussion of current challenges and further perspectives in this subfield are provided.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is considered to be one of the most promising methods to overcome cancer. Immunogenic cell death (ICD), as a special form of cell death that can trigger an antitumor immune response, has attracted increasing attention for cancer immunotherapy. Presently, ICD-mediating immunotherapy needs to overcome many hurdles including a lack of targeted delivery systems for ICD inducers, insufficient antitumor immunity, and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Recent research has demonstrated that nano-biomaterials exhibit unique biochemphysical properties at the nanoscale, providing a prospective approach to overcoming these obstacles. In this review, the authors first survey the occurrence, processes, and detection methods of ICD. Subsequently, the recent advances of nano-biomaterials applied to enhance ICD according to the key steps in the process of ICD, particularly with a focus on the mechanisms and lifting schemes are investigated. Finally, based on the achievement in the representative studies, the prospects and challenges of nanotechnology in ICD for cancer therapy are discussed to enable clinical translation.

Abstract
Magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) is a highly localized form of hyperthermia therapy (HT) that has been effective in treating various forms of cancer. Many clinical and preclinical studies have applied MHT to treat aggressive forms of brain cancer and assessed its role as a potential adjuvant to current therapies. Initial results show that MHT has a strong antitumor effect in animal studies and a positive association with overall survival in human glioma patients. Although MHT is a promising therapy with the potential to be incorporated into the future treatment of brain cancer, significant advancement of current MHT technology is required.

Abstract
In recent years, progress in nanotechnology provided new tools to treat cancer more effectively. Advances in biomaterials tailored for drug delivery have the potential to overcome the limited selectivity and side effects frequently associated with traditional therapeutic agents. While autophagy is pivotal in determining cell fate and adaptation to different challenges, and despite the fact that it is frequently dysregulated in cancer, antitumor therapeutic strategies leveraging on or targeting this process are scarce. This is due to many reasons, including the very contextual effects of autophagy in cancer, low bioavailability and non-targeted delivery of existing autophagy modulatory compounds. Conjugating the versatile characteristics of nanoparticles with autophagy modulators may render these drugs safer and more effective for cancer treatment. Here, we review current standing questions on the biology of autophagy in tumor progression, and precursory studies and the state-of-the-art in harnessing nanomaterials science to enhance the specificity and therapeutic potential of autophagy modulators.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has tremendous promise, but it has yet to be clinically applied in a wider variety of tumor situations. Many therapeutic combinations are envisaged to improve their effectiveness. In this way, strategies capable of inducing immunogenic cell death (e.g., doxorubicin, radiotherapy, hyperthermia) and the reprogramming of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) (e.g., M2-to-M1-like macrophages repolarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs)) are particularly appealing to enhance the efficacy of approved immunotherapies (e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors, ICIs). Due to their modular construction and versatility, iron oxide-based nanomedicines such as superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) can combine these different approaches in a single agent. SPIONs have already shown their safety and biocompatibility and possess both drug-delivery (e.g., chemotherapy, ICIs) and magnetic capabilities (e.g., magnetic hyperthermia (MHT), magnetic resonance imaging). In this review, we will discuss the multiple applications of SPIONs in cancer immunotherapy, focusing on their theranostic properties to target TAMs and to generate MHT. The first section of this review will briefly describe immune targets for NPs. The following sections will deal with the overall properties of SPIONs (including MHT). The last section is dedicated to the SPION-induced immune response through its effects on TAMs and MHT.
