Front Oncol 2023; 13:1272788. [PMID: 38090481 PMCID: PMC10711619 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1272788] [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: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) could serve as a predictive biomarker in breast cancer (BC). Due to its high heterogeneity, the diagnostic and prognostic values of CTC are challenging. Methods We searched published studies from the databases of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and MEDLINE. The detection capability and hazard ratios (HRs) of CTCs were extracted as the clinical diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. Subgroup analyses were divided according to the detection methods, continents, treatment periods, therapeutic plans, and cancer stages. Results In this study, 35 publications had been retrieved with 8,935 patients enrolled. The diagnostic efficacy of CTC detection has 74% sensitivity and 98% specificity. The positive CTC detection (CTC+ ) would predict worse OS and PFS/DFS in both mid-therapy and post-therapy (HROS, 3.09; 95% CI, 2.17–4.39; HRPFS/DFS, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.72–2.47). Moreover, CTC+ indicated poor survival irrespective of the treatment phases and sampling times (HROS, 2.43; 95% CI, 1.85–3.19; HRPFS/DFS, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.66–1.99). The CTC+ was associated with poor survival regardless of the continents of patients (HROS = 2.43; 95% CI, 1.85–3.19). Conclusion Our study suggested that CTC+ was associated with a worse OS and PFS/DFS in the Asian population. The detection method, the threshold level of CTC+ , therapeutic approaches, and sampling times would not affect its diagnostic and prognostic values.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 329:121670. [PMID: 37080518 PMCID: PMC10231338 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the potential adverse health effects of nanoparticles have been caught more attention and become global concerns. However, the underlying mechanisms in metal nanoparticle-induced toxic effects are still largely obscure. In this study, we investigated whether exposure to nickel nanoparticles (Nano-Ni) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (Nano-TiO2) would alter autophagy and apoptosis levels in normal human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells and the underlying mechanisms involved in this process. Our results showed that the expressions of autophagy- and apoptosis-associated proteins were dysregulated in cells exposed to Nano-Ni. However, exposure to the same doses of Nano-TiO2 had no significant effects on these proteins. In addition, exposure to Nano-Ni, but not Nano-TiO2, led to nuclear accumulation of HIF-1α and decreased phosphorylation of mTOR in BEAS-2B cells. Inhibition of HIF-1α by CAY10585 abolished Nano-Ni-induced decreased phosphorylation of mTOR, while activation of mTOR by MHY1485 did not affect Nano-Ni-induced nuclear accumulation of HIF-1α. Furthermore, both HIF-1α inhibition and mTOR activation abolished Nano-Ni-induced autophagy but enhanced Nano-Ni-induced apoptosis. Blockage of autophagic flux by Bafilomycin A1 exacerbated Nano-Ni-induced apoptosis, while activation of autophagy by Rapamycin effectively rescued Nano-Ni-induced apoptosis. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that Nano-Ni exposure caused increased levels of autophagy and apoptosis via the HIF-1α/mTOR signaling axis. Nano-Ni-induced autophagy has a protective role against Nano-Ni-induced apoptosis. These findings provide us with further insight into Nano-Ni-induced toxicity.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 328:121654. [PMID: 37080514 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
There is an increase of application of Nickel in the form of nanoparticles (NiNPs) in several fields including modern metallurgy, bioengineering, and medicine. Such growth of the areas of application is actually accompanied with an increase of exposure to Nickel, thus an intensification of the negative effects, the most frequent being the allergic contact dermatitis. Indeed, due to their smaller size, and therefore their higher surface area, NiNPs can release more Ni ions compared to bulk material, that can penetrate and permeate through the skin. To reduce the Ni cutaneous penetration, barrier creams (BC) are applied on the skin surface. There is little information, however, on the efficiency of such commercial protective creams on decreasing Ni cutaneous penetration. For this reason, the objective of the current study was to investigate the protective role of one commercially available formulation for Ni (Nik-L-Block™ containing a chelating agent) and one moisturizing cream (Ceramol 311 basic cream without chelating agent), following exposure to NiNPs, using in vitro Franz cells, as well as the cytotoxicity of NiNPs in primary human dermal fibroblasts was studied. Our results demonstrated that although both tested formulations can decrease Ni accumulation in the skin (4.13 ± 1.74 μg/cm2 for Nik-L-Block™ and 7.14 ± 1.46 μg/cm2 for Ceramol 311 basic cream); there are significant differences between the two creams (p = 0.004). Based on the experimental evidence, we therefore conclude that the composition of such formulations has an imperative role for dermal uptake of Ni. Finally, NiNPs showed no cytotoxic effect on cultured human dermal fibroblasts after 24 and 72 h.

Abstract
Cancer remains one of the most challenging health problems worldwide, and localized therapeutic approaches based on micro/nanofibers have shown potential for its treatment. Micro/nanofibers offer several advantages as a drug delivery system, such as high surface area, tunable pore size, and sustained release properties, which can improve drug efficacy and reduce side effects. In addition, functionalization of these fibers with nanoparticles can enhance their targeting and therapeutic capabilities. Localized delivery of drugs and/or other therapeutic agents via micro/nanofibers can also help to overcome the limitations of systemic administration, such as poor bioavailability and off-target effects. Several studies have shown promising results in preclinical models of cancer, including inhibition of tumor growth and improved survival rates. However, more research is needed to overcome technical and regulatory challenges to bring these approaches to clinical use. Localized therapeutic approaches based on micro/nanofibers hold great promise for the future of cancer treatment, providing a targeted, effective, and minimally invasive alternative to traditional treatments. The main focus of this review is to explore the current treatments utilizing micro/nanofibers, as well as localized drug delivery systems that rely on fibrous structures to deliver and release drugs for the treatment of cancer in a specific area.

Abstract
Nanoparticles-in-nanofibers composites comprise an attractive approach for controlling release and delivery of many active molecules for versatile biomedical applications. Incorporation of drug-loaded nanoparticles within these composites can afford the encapsulation of one or more drug with sequential drug release, which can be tuned according to the assigned function. Moreover, existence of nanoparticles within the nanofibrous matrix was found to favor the morphological and mechanical properties of the developed composites. In this review, the latest biomedical advances for nanoparticles-in-nanofibers composites will be highlighted including; tissue regeneration, antimicrobial applications, wound healing, cancer management, cardiovascular disorders, ophthalmic applications, vaginal drug delivery, biosensors and biomedical filters. These composites incorporating multiple types of nanoparticles could be very promising drug delivery platforms.

Abstract
Numerous cancer-associated deaths are owing to a lack of effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Microfluidic systems for analyzing a low volume of samples offer a precise, quick, and user-friendly technique for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Microfluidic devices can detect many cancer-diagnostic factors from biological fluids and also generate appropriate nanoparticles for drug delivery. Thus, microfluidics may be valuable in the cancer field due to its high sensitivity, high throughput, and low cost. In the present article, we aim to review recent achievements in the application of microfluidic systems for the diagnosis and treatment of various cancers. Although microfluidic platforms are not yet used in the clinic, they are expected to become the main technology for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Microfluidic systems are proving to be more sensitive and accurate for the detection of cancer biomarkers and therapeutic strategies than common assays. Microfluidic lab-on-a-chip platforms have shown remarkable potential in the designing of novel procedures for cancer detection, therapy, and disease follow-up as well as the development of new drug delivery systems for cancer treatment.

Molecular Pathogenesis of Colorectal Cancer with an Emphasis on Recent Advances in Biomarkers, as Well as Nanotechnology-Based Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a serious disease that affects millions of people throughout the world, despite considerable advances in therapy. The formation of colorectal adenomas and invasive adenocarcinomas is the consequence of a succession of genetic and epigenetic changes in the normal colonic epithelium. Genetic and epigenetic processes associated with the onset, development, and metastasis of sporadic CRC have been studied in depth, resulting in identifying biomarkers that might be used to predict behaviour and prognosis beyond staging and influence therapeutic options. A novel biomarker, or a group of biomarkers, must be discovered in order to build an accurate and clinically useful test that may be used as an alternative to conventional methods for the early detection of CRC and to identify prospective new therapeutic intervention targets. To minimise the mortality burden of colorectal cancer, new screening methods with higher accuracy and nano-based diagnostic precision are needed. Cytotoxic medication has negative side effects and is restricted by medication resistance. One of the most promising cancer treatment techniques is the use of nano-based carrier system as a medication delivery mechanism. To deliver cytotoxic medicines, targeted nanoparticles might take advantage of differently expressed molecules on the surface of cancer cells. The use of different compounds as ligands on the surface of nanoparticles to interact with cancer cells, enabling the efficient delivery of antitumor medicines. Formulations based on nanoparticles might aid in early cancer diagnosis and help to overcome the limitations of traditional treatments, including low water solubility, nonspecific biodistribution, and restricted bioavailability. This article addresses about the molecular pathogenesis of CRC and highlights about biomarkers. It also provides conceptual knowledge of nanotechnology-based diagnostic techniques and therapeutic approaches for malignant colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that shed from the primary tumor and then enter the circulatory system, a small part of which may evolve into metastatic cancer under appropriate microenvironment conditions. The detection of CTCs is a truly noninvasive, dynamic monitor for disease changes, which has considerable clinical implications in the selection of targeted drugs. However, their inherent rarity and heterogeneity pose significant challenges to their isolation and detection. Even the "gold standard", CellSearch™, suffers from high expenses, low capture efficiency, and the consumption of time. With the advancement of CTCs analysis technologies in recent years, the yield and efficiency of CTCs enrichment have gradually been improved, as well as detection sensitivity. In this review, the isolation and detection strategies of CTCs have been completely described and the potential directions for future research and development have also been highlighted through analyzing the challenges faced by current strategies.

Abstract
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has recently reported a 66% increase in the global number of cancer deaths since 1960. In the US alone, about one in eight women is expected to develop invasive breast cancer(s) (breast cancer) at some point in their lifetime. Traditionally, a BC diagnosis includes mammography, ultrasound, and some high-end molecular bioimaging. Unfortunately, these techniques detect BC at a later stage. So early and advanced molecular diagnostic tools are still in demand. In the past decade, various histological and immuno-molecular studies have demonstrated that BC is highly heterogeneous in nature. Its growth pattern, cytological features, and expression of key biomarkers in BC cells including hormonal receptor markers can be utilized to develop advanced diagnostic and therapeutic tools. A cancer cell's progression to malignancy exhibits various vital biomarkers, many of which are still underrepresented in BC diagnosis and treatment. Advances in genetics have also enabled the development of multigene assays to detect genetic heterogeneity in BC. However, thus far, the FDA has approved only four such biomarkers-cancer antigens (CA); CA 15-3, CA 27-29, Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and circulating tumor cells (CTC) in assessing BC in body fluids. An adequately structured portable-biosensor with its non-invasive and inexpensive point-of-care analysis can quickly detect such biomarkers without significantly compromising its specificity and selectivity. Such advanced techniques are likely to discriminate between BC and a healthy patient by accurately measuring the cell shape, structure, depth, intracellular and extracellular environment, and lipid membrane compositions. Presently, BC treatments include surgery and systemic chemo- and targeted radiation therapy. A biopsied sample is then subjected to various multigene assays to predict the heterogeneity and recurrence score, thus guiding a specific treatment by providing complete information on the BC subtype involved. Thus far, we have seven prognostic multigene signature tests for BC providing a risk profile that can avoid unnecessary treatments in low-risk patients. Many comparative studies on multigene analysis projected the importance of integrating clinicopathological information with genomic-imprint analysis. Current cohort studies such as MINDACT, TAILORx, Trans-aTTOM, and many more, are likely to provide positive impact on long-term patient outcome. This review offers consolidated information on currently available BC diagnosis and treatment options. It further describes advanced biomarkers for the development of state-of-the-art early screening and diagnostic technologies.

Abstract
Nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) have a wide range of application prospects, but there is still a lack of their safety evaluation for the reproductive system. Nowadays, male reproductive health has been widely concerned because of the increasing incidence of male infertility. Studies have shown that Ni NPs can cause male reproductive toxicity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the toxicity of Ni NPs on GC-1 cells, a mouse spermatogonia cell line, and to explore the possible mechanism underlying the induction of apoptosis via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. The cell ultrastructure was firstly observed under a transmission electron microscope. Then, cell proliferation, cycle and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 and flow cytometry, respectively. Furthermore, the expression levels of related proteins and genes were determined by Western blot and Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. The results showed that Ni NPs could not only cause changes in cell ultrastructure, decreased survival rate and arrested G1 phase cell cycle, but also activated apoptosis pathway by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. The results of this study provide novel insights to explore the mechanisms of reproductive toxicity of Ni NPs and are of great significance to develop safety evaluation criteria for Ni NPs.

Abstract
As a kind of conventional metal nanomaterial, nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) have broad application prospects in the fields of magnetism, energy technology and biomedicine and have quickly attracted great interest. The potential negative effects of Ni NPs have also attracted wide attention from some researchers. Studies have shown that Ni NPs cause a variety of toxic effects on cells, animals and humans and have toxic effects of multiple systems such as respiratory system, cardiovascular system and reproductive system. Ni NPs can lead to oxidative stress, apoptosis, DNA damage and inflammation and induce the increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species. The toxicity of Ni NPs is also found to be related to the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and the hypoxia inducible factor-1α pathway. Therefore, the toxicity and mechanism of Ni NPs are reviewed in this paper, and the future researches in this field are also proposed.

Abstract
Conventional methods for detecting tumors, such as immunological methods and histopathological diagnostic techniques, often request high analytical costs, complex operation, long turnaround time, experienced personnel and high false-positive rates. In addition, these assays are difficult to obtain an early diagnosis and prognosis quickly for malignant tumors. Compared with traditional technology, electrochemical technology has realized the study of interface charge transfer behavior at the atomic and molecular levels, which has become an important analytical and detection tool in contemporary analytical science. Electrochemical technique has the advantages of rapid detection, high sensitivity (single cell) and specificity in the detection of tumor cells, which has not only been successful in differentiating tumor cells from normal cells, but has also achieved targeted detection of localized tumor cells and circulating tumor cells. Electrochemical biosensors provide powerful tools for early diagnosis, staging and prognosis of tumors in clinical medicine. Therefore, this review mainly discusses the development and application of electrochemical biosensors in tumor cell detection in recent years.

Abstract
An electrochemical magnetic immunosensing strategy was developed for the determination of HER2-ECD, a breast cancer biomarker, and breast cancer cells in human serum. A sandwich assay was performed on carboxylic acid-functionalized magnetic beads (MBs) using a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) as transducer surface. The affinity process was detected using electroactive labels; core/shell streptavidin-modified CdSe@ZnS Quantum Dots (QDs). Cd2+ ions, released from the QDs, were determined by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). An assay time of 90 min, with an actual hands-on time of about 20 min, a linear range between 0.50-50 ng·mL-1 of HER2-ECD and a limit of detection of 0.29 ng·mL-1 were achieved. Analysis of live breast cancer cells was also performed using the optimized assay. Breast cancer cell lines SK-BR-3 (a HER2-positive cell line), MDA-MB-231 (a HER2-negative cell line) and MCF-7 (a cell line with low HER2 expression) were tested. The selectivity of the assay towards SK-BR-3 cells was confirmed. A concentration-dependent signal that was 12.5× higher than the signal obtained for the HER2-negative cells (MDA-MB-231) and a limit of detection of 2 cells·mL-1 was obtained. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of the electrochemical immunomagnetic assay for the determination of the breast cancer biomarker HER2-ECD and cancer cells using magnetic beads (MBs), a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) as transducer surface and quantum dots (QD) as electroactive labels.

Abstract
Early detection of cancer increases the possibility for an adequate and successful treatment of the disease. Therefore, in this work, a disposable electrochemical immunosensor for the front-line detection of the ExtraCellular Domain of the Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2-ECD), a breast cancer biomarker, in a simple and efficient manner is presented. Bare screen-printed carbon electrodes were selected as the transducer onto which a sandwich immunoassay was developed. The affinity process was detected through the use of an electroactive label, core/shell CdSe@ZnS Quantum Dots, by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry in a total time assay of 2 h, with an actual hands-on time of less than 30 min. The proposed immunosensor responded linearly to HER2-ECD concentration within a wide range (10-150 ng/mL), showing acceptable precision and a limit of detection (2.1 ng/mL, corresponding to a detected amount (sample volume = 40 μL) of 1.18 fmol) which is about 7 times lower than the established cut-off value (15 ng/mL). The usefulness of the developed methodology was tested through the analysis of spiked human serum samples. The reliability of the presented biosensor for the selective screening of HER2-ECD was confirmed by analysing another breast cancer biomarker (CA15-3) and several human serum proteins.

Abstract
Background Our study aimed to verify the prognostic value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) prior to initial treatment on survival of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by using meta-analysis and system review of published studies. Materials and methods The PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library were searched, respectively, to identify all studies that addressed the issues of CTCs prior to initial treatment and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Finally, ten citations were included for analysis and assessment of publication bias by using review manager 5.3 statistical software and STATA 15.0. Results Randomized model analyzing multivariate Cox Proportional Hazards Regression indicated that higher abundance of CTCs significantly predicts poorer prognosis of lung cancer cases basing both on PFS (Z = 2.31, P = 0.02) and OS of advanced cases (Z = 2.44, P = 0.01), and systematic study aslo indicated the similar results. Conclusion High CTCs prior to initial treatment can predict shorter PFS and OS in NSCLC, and further studies are warranted in the future.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of lethal cancers among women with its metastasis leading to cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) derived from a primary tumor can be detected in the venous blood of cancer patients. Monitoring CTCs in blood samples has increased exponentially over the past decades and holds great promise in the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Electrochemical cytosensors, classified as a class of electrochemical biosensors for sensitive detection and enumeration of targeted cells with minimally invasive methods, have the advantages of electrochemical biosensors, such as simplicity, low cost, and low limit of detection. Here, we review recent progress in the detection of CTCs from breast cancer with a focus on electrochemical cytosensors. This review describes platforms benefiting from these cytosensors to identify cancerous breast cells. Furthermore, strategies for signal amplification and also generation of reusable electrochemical cytosensors are introduced. In addition, breast cancer markers and biorecognition elements for cell capturing are reviewed.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood is the direct cause of tumor metastasis. The isolation and detection of CTCs in the whole blood is very important and of clinical value in early diagnosis, postoperative review, and personalized treatment. It is difficult to separate all types of CTCs that efficiently rely on a single path due to cancer cell heterogenicity. Here, we designed a new kind of "filter chip" for the retention of CTCs with very high efficiency by integrating the effects of cell size and specific antigens on the surface of tumor cells. The filter chip consists of a semicircle arc and arrays and can separate large-scale CTC microspheres, which combined with CTCs automatically. We synthesized interfacial zinc oxide coating with nanostructure on the surface of the microsphere to increase the specific surface area to enhance the capturing efficiency of CTCs. Microspheres, trapped in the arrays, would entrap CTCs, too. The combination of the three kinds of strategies resulted in more than 90% capture efficiency of different tumor cell lines. Furthermore, it is easy to find and isolate the circulating tumor cells from the chip as tumor cells would be fixed inside the structure of a filter chip. To avoid the high background contamination when a few CTCs are surrounded by millions of nontarget cells, a digital detection method was applied to improve the detection sensitivity. The CTCs in the whole blood were specifically labeled by the antibody-DNA conjugates and detected via the DNA of the conjugates with a signal amplification. The strategy of the antibody-functional microsphere-integrated microchip for cell sorting and detection of CTCs may find broad implications that favor the fundamental cancer biology research, the precise diagnosis, and monitoring of cancer in the clinics.

Abstract
Bioelectronic devices have been researched widely because of their potential applications, such as information storage devices, biosensors, diagnosis systems, organism-mimicking processing system cell chips, and neural-mimicking systems. Introducing biomolecules including proteins, DNA, and RNA on silicon-based substrates has shown the powerful potential for granting various functional properties to chips, including specific functional electronic properties. Until now, to extend and improve their properties and performance, organic and inorganic materials such as graphene and gold nanoparticles have been combined with biomolecules. In particular, bionanohybrid materials that are composed of biomolecules and other materials have been researched because they can perform core roles of information storage and signal processing in bioelectronic devices using the unique properties derived from biomolecules. This review discusses bioelectronic devices related to computation systems such as biomemory, biologic gates, and bioprocessors based on bionanohybrid materials with a selective overview of recent research. This review contains a new direction for the development of bioelectronic devices to develop biocomputation systems using biomolecules in the future.
