Folate-Targeted PEGylated Magnetoliposomes for Hyperthermia-Mediated Controlled Release of Doxorubicin. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:854430. [PMID: 35387345 PMCID: PMC8978894 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.854430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic agent commonly used for the treatment of solid tumors. However, the cardiotoxicity associated with its prolonged use prevents further adherence and therapeutic efficacy. By encapsulating DOX within a PEGylated liposome, Doxil® considerably decreased DOX cardiotoxicity. By using thermally sensitive lysolipids in its bilayer composition, ThermoDox® implemented a heat-induced controlled release of DOX. However, both ThermoDox® and Doxil® rely on their passive retention in tumors, depending on their half-lives in blood. Moreover, ThermoDox® ordinarily depend on invasive radiofrequency-generating metallic probes for local heating. In this study, we prepare, characterize, and evaluate the antitumoral capabilities of DOX-loaded folate-targeted PEGylated magnetoliposomes (DFPML). Unlike ThermoDox®, DOX delivery via DFPML is mediated by the heat released through dynamic hysteresis losses from magnetothermal converting systems composed by MnFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) under AC magnetic field excitation—a non-invasive technique designated magnetic hyperthermia (MHT). Moreover, DFPML dismisses the use of thermally sensitive lysolipids, allowing the use of simpler and cheaper alternative lipids. MnFe2O4 NPs and DFPML are fully characterized in terms of their size, morphology, polydispersion, magnetic, and magnetothermal properties. About 50% of the DOX load is released from DFPML after 30 min under MHT conditions. Being folate-targeted, in vitro DFPML antitumoral activity is higher (IC50 ≈ 1 μg/ml) for folate receptor-overexpressing B16F10 murine melanoma cells, compared to MCF7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells (IC50 ≈ 4 μg/ml). Taken together, our results indicate that DFPML are strong candidates for folate-targeted anticancer therapies based on DOX controlled release.

Abstract
Ferrofluids investigated along for about five decades are ultrastable colloidal suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles, which manifest simultaneously fluid and magnetic properties. Their magnetically controllable and tunable feature proved to be from the beginning an extremely fertile ground for a wide range of engineering applications. More recently, biocompatible ferrofluids attracted huge interest and produced a considerable increase of the applicative potential in nanomedicine, biotechnology and environmental protection. This paper offers a brief overview of the most relevant early results and a comprehensive description of recent achievements in ferrofluid synthesis, advanced characterization, as well as the governing equations of ferrohydrodynamics, the most important interfacial phenomena and the flow properties. Finally, it provides an overview of recent advances in tunable and adaptive multifunctional materials derived from ferrofluids and a detailed presentation of the recent progress of applications in the field of sensors and actuators, ferrofluid-driven assembly and manipulation, droplet technology, including droplet generation and control, mechanical actuation, liquid computing and robotics.

Abstract
Background: We evaluated the impacts of corona protein (CP) formation on the alternating current biosusceptometry (ACB) signal intensity and in vivo circulation times of three differently coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNP): bare, citrate-coated and bovine serum albumin-coated MNPs. Methods: We employed the ACB system, gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry analysis. Results: Higher CP formation led to a greater reduction in the in vitro ACB signal intensity and circulation time. We found fewer proteins forming the CP for the bovine serum albumin-coated MNPs, which presented the highest circulation time in vivo among the MNPs studied. Conclusion: These data showed better biocompatibility, stability and magnetic signal uniformity in biological media for bovine serum albumin-coated MNPs than for citrate-coated MNPs and bare MNPs.

NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2021; 3:3573-3592.

Abstract
We probe the influence of particle size polydispersity on field-induced structures and structural transitions in magnetic fluids (ferrofluids) using phase contrast optical microscopy, light scattering and Brownian dynamics simulations. Three different ferrofluids containing superparamagnetic nanoparticles of different polydispersity indices (PDIs) are used. In a ferrofluid with a high PDI (∼0.79), thin chains, thick chains, and sheets are formed on increasing the in-plane magnetic field, whereas isotropic bubbles, and hexagonal and lamellar/stripe structures are formed on increasing the out-of-plane magnetic field over the same range. In contrast, no field-induced aggregates are seen in the sample with low polydispersity under the above conditions. In a polydisperse sample, bubbles are formed at a very low magnetic field strength of 30 G. Insights into the structural evolution with increasing magnetic field strength are obtained by carrying out Brownian dynamics simulations. The crossovers from isotropic, through hexagonal columnar, to lamellar/stripe structures observed with increasing field strength in the high-polydispersity sample indicate the prominent roles of large, more strongly interacting particles in structural transitions in ferrofluids. Based on the observed microstructures, a phase diagram is constructed. Our work opens up new opportunities to develop optical devices and access diverse structures by tuning size polydispersity.

Abstract
We report a theoretical and experimental study of the aggregation kinetics of oppositely charged nanoparticles. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations are performed for symmetric, charge-asymmetric and size-asymmetric systems of oppositely charged nanoparticles. Simulation results show that both the weight and number average aggregate size kinetics exhibit power law scaling with different exponents for small and intermediate time of evolution. The qualitative behavior of the symmetric and the size asymmetric system are the same, but the charge asymmetric system shows anomalous behavior for intermediate to high particle concentrations. We also observe a strong dependence of power law exponents on the particle concentration. Radius of gyration of the cluster that indicates how nanoparticles inside a cluster are distributed around the center of mass of the cluster shows a non-monotonic time evolution with pronounced peak at higher particle concentration. The dependence of particle concentration on aggregation kinetics as observed by predictive numerical simulation is further verified experimentally by monitoring the time evolution of aggregate size of nanoparticles assemblies of Poly (methacrylic acid) (PMMA) nanoparticles functionalized with oppositely charged ligands. These size and charge tunable asymmetric polymeric nanoparticles were synthesized by modified miniemulsion technique. The integrated approach for studying nanoparticles aggregation as described here renders new insights into super structure formation and morphology optimization which can be potentially useful in the design of new materials, such as organic photovoltaics.
