Magnetic-guided nanocarriers for ionizing/non-ionizing radiation synergistic treatment against triple-negative breast cancer. Biomed Eng Online 2024; 23:67. [PMID: 39003472 PMCID: PMC11245775 DOI: 10.1186/s12938-024-01263-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer with the worst prognosis. Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the core modalities for the disease; however, the ionizing radiation of RT has severe side effects. The consistent development direction of RT is to achieve better therapeutic effect with lower radiation dose. Studies have demonstrated that synergistic effects can be achieved by combining RT with non-ionizing radiation therapies such as light and magnetic therapy, thereby achieving the goal of dose reduction and efficacy enhancement. METHODS In this study, we applied FeCo NPs with magneto thermal function and phototherapeutic agent IR-780 to construct an ionizing and non-ionizing radiation synergistic nanoparticle (INS NPs). INS NPs are first subjected to morphology, size, colloidal stability, loading capacity, and photothermal conversion tests. Subsequently, the cell inhibitory and cellular internalization were evaluated using cell lines in vitro. Following comprehensive assessment of the NPs' in vivo biocompatibility, tumor-bearing mouse model was established to evaluate their distribution, targeted delivery, and anti-tumor effects in vivo. RESULTS INS NPs have a saturation magnetization exceeding 72 emu/g, a hydrodynamic particle size of approximately 40 nm, a negatively charged surface, and good colloidal stability and encapsulation properties. INS NPs maintain the spectral characteristics of IR-780 at 808 nm. Under laser irradiation, the maximum temperature was 92 °C, INS NPs also achieved the effective heat temperature in vivo. Both in vivo and in vitro tests have proven that INS NPs have good biocompatibility. INS NPs remained effective for more than a week after one injection in vivo, and can also be guided and accumulated in tumors through permanent magnets. Later, the results exhibited that under low-dose RT and laser irradiation, the combined intervention group showed significant synergetic effects, and the ROS production rate was much higher than that of the RT and phototherapy-treated groups. In the mice model, 60% of the tumors were completely eradicated. CONCLUSIONS INS NPs effectively overcome many shortcomings of RT for TNBC and provide experimental basis for the development of novel clinical treatment methods for TNBC.

[PMID: 38644868 PMCID: PMC11033100 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29297] [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: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024] Open
Abstract
In radiotherapy, metallic nanoparticles are of high interest in the fight against cancer for their radiosensitizing effects. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of core-shell Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles to potentiate the irradiation effects on redox-, pro-inflammatory markers, and cell death of A549 human pulmonary cancer cells. The hybrid Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles were synthesized using green chemistry principles by the sonochemistry method. Their characterization by transmission electron microscopy demonstrated an average size of 8 nm and a homogeneous distribution of gold. The decreased hydrodynamic size of these hybrid nanoparticles compared to magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles showed that gold coating significantly reduced the aggregation of Fe3O4 particles. The internalization and accumulation of the Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles within the cells were demonstrated by Prussian Blue staining. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels measured by the fluorescent probe DCFH-DA were up-regulated, as well as mRNA expression of SOD, catalase, GPx antioxidant enzymes, redox-dependent transcription factor Nrf2, and ROS-producing enzymes (Nox2 and Nox4), quantified by RT-qPCR. Furthermore, irradiation coupled with Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles increased the expression of canonical pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, CXCL8, and CCL5) assessed by RT-qPCR and ELISA. Hybrid nanoparticles did not potentiate the increased DNA damage detected by immunofluorescence following the irradiation. Nevertheless, Fe3O4@Au caused cellular damage, leading to apoptosis through activation of caspase 3/7, secondary necrosis quantified by LDH release, and cell growth arrest evaluated by clonogenic-like assay. This study demonstrated the potential of Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles to potentiate the radiosensitivity of cancerous cells.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the potential of metal oxides such as Titanate Scrolled Nanosheets (TNs) in improving the radiosensitivity of sarcoma cell lines. Enhancing the response of cancer cells to radiation therapy is crucial, and one promising approach involves utilizing metal oxide nanoparticles. We focused on the impact of exposing two human sarcoma cell lines to both TNs and ionizing radiation (IR). Our research was prompted by previous in vitro toxicity assessments, revealing a correlation between TNs' toxicity and alterations in intracellular calcium homeostasis. A hydrothermal process using titanium dioxide powder in an alkaline solution produced the TNs. Our study quantified the intracellular content of TNs and analyzed their impact on radiation-induced responses. This assessment encompassed PIXE analysis, cell proliferation, and transcriptomic analysis. We observed that sarcoma cells internalized TNs, causing alterations in intracellular calcium homeostasis. We also found that irradiation influence intracellular calcium levels. Transcriptomic analysis revealed marked disparities in the gene expression patterns between the two sarcoma cell lines, suggesting a potential cell-line-dependent nano-sensitization to IR. These results significantly advance our comprehension of the interplay between TNs, IR, and cancer cells, promising potential enhancement of radiation therapy efficiency.

Abstract
Introduction Radiotherapy is a widely recognized first-line clinical treatment for cancer, but its efficacy may be impeded by the radioresistance of advanced tumors. It is urgent to improve the sensitivity of radioresistant tumors to radiotherapy. In this work, gadolinium oxide nanocrystals (GONs) were utilized as radiosensitizers to enhance the killing effect and reinforce the immune activation of X-ray irradiation on 4T1 breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods 1.0 T small animal MR imaging (MRI) system was employed to trace GONs in vivo, while 225 kVp X-ray irradiation equipment was utilized for investigating the radiosensitization of GONs in 4T1 breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Western blot, quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, clonal survival assay, flow cytometry and reactive oxygen species assay were used to explore the biological mechanism of GON sensitization. Results GONs exhibited exceptional utility as contrast agents for both in vivo and in vitro MRI imaging. Interestingly, a single dose of 8.0 Gy X-rays together with GONs failed to confer superior therapeutic effects in tumor-bearing mice, while only 3.0 Gy × 3 fractions X-rays combined with GONs exhibited effective tumor growth inhibition. Moreover, fractionated X-ray irradiation with GONs demonstrated a superior capacity to activate the cGAS-STING pathway. Discussion Fractionated X-ray irradiation in the presence of GONs has demonstrated the most significant activation of the anti-tumor immune response by boosting the cGAS-STING pathway.

Abstract
The main concept of radiosensitization is making the tumor tissue more responsive to ionizing radiation, which leads to an increase in the potency of radiation therapy and allows for decreasing radiation dose and the concomitant side effects. Radiosensitization by metal oxide nanoparticles is widely discussed, but the range of mechanisms studied is not sufficiently codified and often does not reflect the ability of nanocarriers to have a specific impact on cells. This review is focused on the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles while they occupied a special niche among the prospective radiosensitizers due to unique physicochemical characteristics and reactivity. We collected data about the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the radiosensitizing effects of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and the main approaches to increase their therapeutic efficacy by variable modifications.

Abstract
Among the plethora of nanosystems used in the field of theranostics, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) occupy a central place because of their biocompatibility and magnetic properties. In this study, we highlight the radiosensitizing effect of two IONPs formulations (namely 7 nm carboxylated IONPs and PEG5000-IONPs) on A549 lung carcinoma cells when exposed to 225 kV X-rays after 6 h, 24 h and 48 h incubation. The hypothesis that nanoparticles exhibit their radiosensitizing effect by weakening cells through the inhibition of detoxification enzymes was evidenced by thioredoxin reductase activity monitoring. In particular, a good correlation between the amplification effect at 2 Gy and the residual activity of thioredoxin reductase was observed, which is consistent with previous observations made for gold nanoparticles (NPs). This emphasizes that NP-induced radiosensitization does not result solely from physical phenomena but also results from biological events.

Abstract
Cancer radiotherapy is one of the most effective regimens of cancer treatments, but cancer cell radioresistance remains a concern. Radiosensitizers can selectively improve the efficacy of radiotherapy and reduce inherent damage. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the effect of silica-coated iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (SIONPs) as a radiosensitizer and compare their therapeutic effect with that of Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (IONPs). IONPs and SIONPs were characterized using several physical techniques such as a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). MTT and DNA double-strand breaks (Comet) assays have been used to detect the cytotoxicity, cell viability, and DNA damage of MCF-7 cells, which were treated with different concentrations of prepared nanoparticles and exposed to an X-ray beam. In this study, an efficient radiosensitizer, SIONPs, was successfully prepared and characterized. With 0.5 Gy dose, dose enhancement factor (DEF) values of cells treated with 5 and 10 μg/ml of IONPs were 1 and 1.09, respectively, while those treated with SIONPs at these concentrations had DEF of 1.21 and 1.32, respectively. Results demonstrated that SIONPs provide a potential for improving the radiosensitivity of breast cancer.

Abstract
AIMS Recently, the development of new strategies in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer cells such as thermo-radiation-sensitizer and theranostic agents have received a great deal of attention. In this work, folic acid-conjugated temozolomide-loaded SPION@PEG-PBA-PEG nanoparticles (TMZ-MNP-FA NPs) were proposed for use as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents and to enhance the cytotoxic effects of hyperthermia and radiotherapy. MAIN METHODS Nanoparticles were synthesized by the Nano-precipitation method and their characteristics were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). To evaluate the thermo-radio-sensitization effects of NPs, C6 cells were treated with nanoparticles for 24 h and then exposed to 6-MV X-ray radiation. After radiotherapy, the cells were subjected to an alternating magnetic field (AMF) hyperthermia. The therapeutic potential was assessed using clonogenic assay, ROS generation measurement, flow cytometry assay, and qRT-PCR analysis. Also, the diagnostic properties of the nanoparticles were assessed by MRI. KEY FINDINGS MRI scanning indicated that nanoparticles accumulated in C6 cells could be tracked by T2-weighted MR imaging. Colony formation assay proved that TMZ-MNP-FA NPs enhanced the anti-proliferation effects of AMF by 1.94-fold compared to AMF alone (P < 0.0001). Moreover, these NPs improved the radiation effects with a dose enhancement factor of 1.65. All results showed that the combination of carrier-based chemotherapy with hyperthermia and radiotherapy caused a higher anticancer efficacy than single- or two-modality treatments. SIGNIFICANCE The nanoparticles advanced in this study can be proposed as the promising theranostic and thermo-radio-sensitizer platform for the diagnosis and tri-modal synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Antibodies have become an important class of biological products in cancer treatments such as radiotherapy. The growing therapeutic applications have driven a demand for high-purity antibodies. Affinity chromatography with a high affinity and specificity has always been utilized to separate antibodies from complex mixtures. Quality chromatographic components (matrices and affinity ligands) have either been found or generated to increase the purity and yield of antibodies. More importantly, some matrices (mainly particles) and affinity ligands (including design protocols) for antibody purification can act as radiosensitizers or carriers for therapeutic radionuclides (or for radiosensitizers) either directly or indirectly to improve the therapeutic efficiency of radiotherapy. This paper provides a brief overview on the matrices and ligands used in affinity chromatography that are involved in antibody purification and emphasizes their applications in radiotherapy to enrich potential approaches for improving the efficacy of radiotherapy.

Abstract
Improving the efficacy and spatial targeting of radiation therapy while sparing surrounding normal tissues has been a guiding principle for its use in cancer therapy. Nanotechnologies have shown considerable growth in terms of innovation and the development of new therapeutic approaches, particularly as radiosensitizers. The aim of this study was to systematically review how nanoparticles (NPs) are used to enhance the radiotherapeutic effect, including preclinical and clinical studies. Clinicaltrials.gov was used to perform the search using the following terms: radiation, cancer, and NPs. In this review, we describe the various designs of nano-radioenhancers, the rationale for using such technology, as well as their chemical and biological effects. Human trials are then discussed with an emphasis on their design and detailed clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Traditional cancer therapeutics have been criticized due to various adverse effects and insufficient damage to targeted tumors. The breakthrough of nanoparticles provides a novel approach for upgrading traditional treatments and diagnosis. Actually, nanoparticles can not only solve the shortcomings of traditional cancer diagnosis and treatment, but also create brand-new perspectives and cutting-edge devices for tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, most of the research about nanoparticles stays in vivo and in vitro stage, and only few clinical researches about nanoparticles have been reported. In this review, we first summarize the current applications of nanoparticles in cancer diagnosis and treatment. After that, we propose the challenges that hinder the clinical applications of NPs and provide feasible solutions in combination with the updated literature in the last two years. At the end, we will provide our opinions on the future developments of NPs in tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Iron oxide particles (IOP) are commonly used for Cellular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and in combination with several treatments, like Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH), due to the rise in temperature they provoke under an Alternating Magnetic Field (AMF). Micrometric IOP have a high sensitivity of detection. Nevertheless, little is known about their internalization processes or their potential heat power. Two micrometric commercial IOP (from Bangs Laboratories and Chemicell) were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and their endocytic pathways into glioma cells were analyzed. Their Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and cytotoxicity were evaluated using a commercial AMF inductor. T2-weighted imaging was used to monitor tumor growth in vivo after MFH treatment in mice. The two micron-sized IOP had similar structures and r2 relaxivities (100 mM-1 s-1) but involved different endocytic pathways. Only ScreenMAG particles generated a significant rise in temperature following AMF (SAR = 113 W g-1 Fe). After 1 h of AMF exposure, 60% of ScreenMAG-labeled cells died. Translated to a glioma model, 89% of mice responded to the treatment with smaller tumor volume 42 days post-implantation. Micrometric particles were investigated from their characterization to their intracellular internalization pathways and applied in one in vivo cancer treatment, i.e. MFH.

Abstract
Background In this study, we report on the synthesis, imaging, and radiosensitizing properties of ultrasmall β-NaGdF4:Yb50% nanoparticles as a multifunctional theranostic platform. The synthesized nanoparticles act as potent bimodal contrast agents with superior imaging properties compared to existing agents used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). Clonogenic assays demonstrated that these nanoparticles can act as effective radiosensitizers, provided that the nanoparticles are taken up intracellularly. Results Our ultrasmall β-NaGdF4:Yb50% nanoparticles demonstrate improvement in T1-weighted contrast over the standard clinical MR imaging agent Gd-DTPA and similar CT signal enhancement capabilities as commercial agent iohexol. A 2 Gy dose of X-ray induced ~ 20% decrease in colony survival when C6 rat glial cells were incubated with non-targeted nanoparticles (NaGdF4:Yb50%), whereas the same X-ray dose resulted in a ~ 60% decrease in colony survival with targeted nanoparticles conjugated to folic acid (NaGdF4:Yb50%-FA). Intravenous administration of nanoparticles resulted in clearance through urine and feces within a short duration, based on the ex vivo analysis of Gd3+ ions via ICP-MS. Conclusion These biocompatible and in vivo clearable ultrasmall NaGdF4:Yb50% are promising candidates for further evaluation in image-guided radiotherapy applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Prostate cancer is the second cause of death in men worldwide. In this study, the cytotoxic effects of PLGA polymer-coated gold Magnetic Nanoparticles (MGNPs), as a novel treatment to enhance radiation and thermal sensitivity in the presence of hyperthermia (43°C) and electron beam, on DU145 prostate cancer cells were investigated. METHODS Nanoparticles were characterized using TEM, DLS, XRD and SAED methods. MGNPs entrance into the cells was determined using Prussian blue staining and TEM. Furthermore, the cytotoxic effects of combinatorial treatment modalities were assessed by applying colony and sphere formation assay. RESULTS Our results revealed that the decrease of colony and sphere numbers after combinatorial treatment of hyperthermia and radiation in the presence of nanoparticles was significantly higher than the other treatment groups (P<0.05). This treatment method proved that it has the capability of eliminating most of the DU145 cells (80-100%), and increased the value of the linear parameter (α) to 4.86 times. CONCLUSION According to the study, magnetic gold nanoparticles, in addition to having a high atomic number, can effectively transmit heat produced inside them to the adjacent regions under hyperthermia, which increases the effects of radio-thermosensitivity, respectively.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has been widely applied to medical interventions for prevention, diagnostics, and therapeutics of diseases, and the application of nanotechnology for medical purposes, which is called as a term "nanomedicine" has received tremendous attention. In particular, the design and development of nanoparticle for biosensors have received a great deal of attention, since those are most impactful area of clinical translation showing potential breakthrough in early diagnosis of diseases such as cancers and infections. For example, the nanoparticles that have intrinsic unique features such as magnetic responsive characteristics or photoluminescence can be utilized for noninvasive visualization of inner body. Drug delivery that makes use of drug-containing nanoparticles as a carrier is another field of study, in which the particulate form nanomedicine is given by parenteral administration for further systemic targeting to pathological tissues. In addition, encapsulation into nanoparticles gives the opportunity to secure the sensitive therapeutic payloads that are readily degraded or deactivated until reached to the target in biological environments, or to provide sufficient solubilization (e.g., to deliver compounds which have physicochemical properties that strongly limit their aqueous solubility and therefore systemic bioavailability). The nanomedicine is further intended to enhance the targeting index such as increased specificity and reduced false binding, thus improve the diagnostic and therapeutic performances. In this chapter, principles of nanomaterials for medicine will be thoroughly covered with applications for imaging-based diagnostics and therapeutics.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) has become one of the most widely used treatments for malignant tumors in clinics. Developing a novel radiosensitizer for the integration of precise diagnosis and effective radiotherapy against hypoxic tumors is desirable but remains a great challenge. Herein, protein sulfenic acid reactive gold nanoparticles as effective radiosensitizers were for the first time reported for enhanced X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging and radiotherapy of tumors in vivo. The gold nanoparticles were decorated with biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol), folic acid (FA), and sulfenic acid reactive groups 1,3-cyclohexanedione (CHD). Such a nanostructure enables on-site immobilization within tumors under oxidative stress through the specific reaction between CHD and endogenous protein sulfenic acids resulting in enhanced accumulation and retention of gold nanoparticles within tumors, which remarkably improves the sensitivity of CT imaging and the radiotherapeutic efficacy of tumors in living mice. This study thus is the first to demonstrate that protein sulfenic acid reactive gold nanoparticles with a tumor anchoring function may serve as effective radiosensitizers for clinical X-ray theranostic application in the future.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is a rapidly growing field that uses nanomaterials for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of various diseases, including cancer. Various biocompatible nanoplatforms with diversified capabilities for tumor targeting, imaging, and therapy have materialized to yield individualized therapy. However, due to their unique properties brought about by their small size, safety concerns have emerged as their physicochemical properties can lead to altered pharmacokinetics, with the potential to cross biological barriers. In addition, the intrinsic toxicity of some of the inorganic materials (i.e., heavy metals) and their ability to accumulate and persist in the human body has been a challenge to their translation. Successful clinical translation of these nanoparticles is heavily dependent on their stability, circulation time, access and bioavailability to disease sites, and their safety profile. This review covers preclinical and clinical inorganic-nanoparticle based nanomaterial utilized for cancer imaging and therapeutics. A special emphasis is put on the rational design to develop non-toxic/safe inorganic nanoparticle constructs to increase their viability as translatable nanomedicine for cancer therapies.

Abstract
Aim: In this study, the effects of ionizing radiation and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-loaded triblock copolymer-coated magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) on the induction of apoptosis in HT-29 and HCT-116 were investigated. Materials & methods: The percentage of apoptotic cells and alteration of the expression of apoptotic-related proteins were evaluated in treated cells by flow cytometry and western blot analysis, respectively. Results: Combination treatment with 5-FU and radiation had a stronger effect on decreasing Bcl-2 expression and increasing expression of Bax, cleaved caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved PARP compared with each treatment alone. Conclusion: The combination of radiation and triblock copolymer-coated magnetic NPs as 5-FU drug carriers works by triggering apoptosis to improve in vitro treatment efficacy. Additional study may present the NPs as an effective approach for the treatment of colon cancer.

Abstract
Magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) has been considered as an excellent alternative for treatment of deep tumor tissue; however, up-regulation of heat shock proteins (HSPs) impairs its hyperthermal therapeutic effect. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and competitive consumption of ATP are important targets that can block excessive HSP generation. We developed a magnetic nanocatalytic system comprised of glucose oxidase (GOD)-loaded hollow iron oxide nanocatalysts (HIONCs) to drive starvation-chemodynamic-hyperthermia synergistic therapy for tumor treatment. The Fe2+ present in HIONCs contributed to ROS generation via the Fenton reaction, relieving thermo-resistance and inducing cell apoptosis by chemodynamic action. The Fenton effect was enhanced through the conditions created by increased MHT-related temperature, GOD-mediated H2O2 accumulation, and elevated tumor microenvironment acidity. The HIONCs catalase-like activity facilitated conversion of H2O2 to oxygen, thereby replenishing the oxygen levels. We further demonstrated that locally injected HIONCs-GOD effectively inhibited tumor growth in PC3 tumor-bearing mice. This study presents a multifunctional nanocarrier system driving starvation-chemodynamic-magnetic-thermal synergistic therapy via ROS and oxygen modulation for prostate tumor treatment.

Abstract
In recent years, high atomic number nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as promising radio-enhancer agents for cancer radiation therapy due to their unique properties. Multi-disciplinary studies have demonstrated the potential of NPs-based radio-sensitizers to improve cancer therapy and tumor control at cellular and molecular levels. However, studies have shown that the dose enhancement effect of the NPs depends on the beam energy, NPs type, NPs size, NPs concentration, cell lines, and NPs delivery system. It has been believed that radiation dose enhancement of NPs is due to the three main mechanisms, but the results of some simulation studies failed to comply well with the experimental findings. Thus, this study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the physical, chemical, and biological factors of the NPs. An organized search of PubMed/Medline, Embase, ProQuest, Scopus, Cochrane and Google Scholar was performed. In total, 77 articles were thoroughly reviewed and analyzed. The studies investigated 44 different cell lines through 70 in-vitro and 4 in-vivo studies. A total of 32 different types of single or core-shell NPs in different sizes and concentrations have been used in the studies.

Abstract
Background Radiosensitization using nanoparticles is proposed as a novel strategy for treatment of different cancers. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been reported to enhance effects of radiotherapy in several researches. Objective The objective of this research is to investigate the radiosensitization properties of polyglycerol coated SPIONs (PG-SPIONs) on U87-MG cancer cells. Material and Methods In this experimental study, polyglycerol coated SPIONs were synthesized by thermal decomposition method and characterized by FTIR, TEM and VSM analysis. Cellular uptake of nanoparticles by cells was examined via AAS. Cytotoxicity and radiosensitization of nanoparticles in combination with radiation were evaluated by MTT and colony assay, respectively. Results Mean size of nanoparticles was 17.9±2.85 nm. FTIR verified SPIONs coating by Polyglycerol and VSM showed that they have superparamagnetic behaviour. Viability significantly (P < 0.001) decreased at concentrations above 100µg/ml for SPIONs but not for PG-SPIONs (P > 0.05). Dose verification results by TLD for doses of 2 and 4 Gy were 2±0.19 and 4±0.12 Gy respectively. The combination index for all situations was less than 1 and the effect is antagonism. Conclusion However, PG-SPIONs combination with 6 MV X-ray reduced survival of U87-MG cells compared to radiation alone but the effect is antagonism.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A wide range of nanoparticles (NPs), composed of different elements and their compounds, are being developed by several groups as possible radiosensitisers, with some already in clinical trials. However, no systematic experimental survey of the clinical X-ray radiosensitising potential of different element nanoparticles has been made. Here, we directly compare the irradiation-induced (10 Gy of 6-MV X-ray photon) production of hydroxyl radicals, superoxide anion radicals and singlet oxygen in aqueous solutions of the following metal oxide nanoparticles: Al2O3, SiO2, Sc2O3, TiO2, V2O5, Cr2O3, MnO2, Fe3O4, CoO, NiO, CuO, ZnO, ZrO2, MoO3, Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Eu2O3, Gd2O3, Tb4O7, Dy2O3, Er2O3 and HfO2. We also examine DNA damage due to these NPs in unirradiated and irradiated conditions.
Results
Without any X-rays, several NPs produced more radicals than water alone. Thus, V2O5 NPs produced around 5-times more hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals. MnO2 NPs produced around 10-times more superoxide anions and Tb4O7 produced around 3-times more singlet oxygen. Lanthanides produce fewer hydroxyl radicals than water. Following irradiation, V2O5 NPs produced nearly 10-times more hydroxyl radicals than water. Changes in radical concentrations were determined by subtracting unirradiated values from irradiated values. These were then compared with irradiation-induced changes in water only. Irradiation-specific increases in hydroxyl radical were seen with most NPs, but these were only significantly above the values of water for V2O5, while the Lanthanides showed irradiation-specific decreases in hydroxyl radical, compared to water. Only TiO2 showed a trend of irradiation-specific increase in superoxides, while V2O5, MnO2, CoO, CuO, MoO3 and Tb4O7 all demonstrated significant irradiation-specific decreases in superoxide, compared to water. No irradiation-specific increases in singlet oxygen were seen, but V2O5, NiO, CuO, MoO3 and the lanthanides demonstrated irradiation-specific decreases in singlet oxygen, compared to water. MoO3 and CuO produced DNA damage in the absence of radiation, while the highest irradiation-specific DNA damage was observed with CuO. In contrast, MnO2, Fe3O4 and CoO were slightly protective against irradiation-induced DNA damage.
Conclusions
Beyond identifying promising metal oxide NP radiosensitisers and radioprotectors, our broad comparisons reveal unexpected differences that suggest the surface chemistry of NP radiosensitisers is an important criterion for their success.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this article, we estimated the combined effect of radiotherapy (RT) with ultrasound (US) wave and the ability of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) to improve their combined therapeutic effects. METHODS At first, HeLa cells received the various treatment modalities: RT (6 MV; 0.5, 1, and 2 Gy), US irradiation (1 MHz; 0.5, 1, and 1.5 W/cm², 1 minute), and RT+US. Afterwards, the enhanced effect of US on RT was evaluated. Then, the effect of the synthesized GNPs at different concentrations (0.2, 1, and 5 μg/mL, 24 hours) was evaluated to assess the effect on HeLa cells combined with RT+US. Cell survival rates in the different treatment groups at 24, 48, and 72 hours post-treatment were evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and trypan blue assays. RESULTS Our results show US irradiation could enhance the effect of RT at the same radiation dose and could be utilized as a sensitizer agent for RT. Moreover, our findings indicate RT+US in combination with different nanoparticle concentrations could enhance the effect of RT+US so that they can improve the treatment results up to 9.93 times and act as sonodynamic-radiosensitivity. These results also indicate that the combination of RT with US along with GNPs has synergistic effects compared to RT or US alone. Cell survival results show that combining the low US waves (1.5 W/cm²), GNPs (5 μ/mL), and X-rays (2 Gy) increase the cytotoxicity on HeLa cell up to 95.8%. CONCLUSION We concluded that GNPs could act as a good sensitizing agent in RT+US irradiation and could result in the synergistic effects.

Abstract
Radiation therapy has made tremendous progress in oncology over the last decades due to advances in engineering and physical sciences in combination with better biochemical, genetic and molecular understanding of this disease. Local delivery of optimal radiation dose to a tumor, while sparing healthy surrounding tissues, remains a great challenge, especially in the proximity of vital organs. Therefore, imaging plays a key role in tumor staging, accurate target volume delineation, assessment of individual radiation resistance and even personalized dose prescription. From this point of view, radiotherapy might be one of the few therapeutic modalities that relies entirely on high-resolution imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with its superior soft-tissue resolution is already used in radiotherapy treatment planning complementing conventional computed tomography (CT). Development of systems integrating MRI and linear accelerators opens possibilities for simultaneous imaging and therapy, which in turn, generates the need for imaging probes with therapeutic components. In this review, we discuss the role of MRI in both external and internal radiotherapy focusing on the most important examples of contrast agents with combined therapeutic potential.

Iron-oxide nanoparticles target intracellular HSP90 to induce tumor radio-sensitization. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2019; 1863:857-869.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanoparticle-based therapies have emerged as a promising approach to overcome limitations of conventional chemotherapy. Present study investigates the potential of oleic acid-functionalized iron-oxide nanoparticles (MN-OA) to enhance the radiation response of fibrosarcoma tumor and elucidates its underlying mechanism. METHODS Various cellular and molecular assays (e.g. MTT, clonogenic, cell cycle analysis, cell death, DNA damage/repair) and tumor growth kinetics were employed to investigate the mechanism of MN-OA induced radio-sensitization. RESULTS Mouse (WEHI-164) and human (HT-1080) fibrosarcoma cells treated with MN-OA and gamma-radiation (2 Gy) showed a significant decrease in the cell proliferation. Combination treatment showed significant decrease in clonogenic survival of WEHI-164 cells and was found to induce cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and mitotic catastrophe. The mechanism of radio-sensitization was found to involve binding of MN-OA with HSP90, resulting in down-regulation of its client proteins, involved in cell cycle progression (Cyclin B1 and CDC2) and DNA-double strand break repair (e.g. RAD51 and BRCA1). Consistently, longer persistence of DNA damage in cells treated with MN-OA and radiation was observed in the form of γ-H2AX foci. The efficacy and mechanism of MN-OA-induced radio-sensitization was also validated in an immuno-competent murine fibrosarcoma model. CONCLUSION This study reveals the key role of HSP90 in the mechanism of tumor radio-sensitization by MN-OA. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Present work provides a deeper understanding about the mechanism of MN-OA-induced tumor radiosensitization, highlighting the role of HSP90 protein. In addition to diagnostic and magnetic hyperthermia abilities, present remarkable radiosensitizing activity of MN-OA would further excite the clinicians to test its anti-cancer potential.

Abstract
Hyperthermia, the mild elevation of temperature to 40–43°C, can induce cancer cell death and enhance the effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, achievement of its full potential as a clinically relevant treatment modality has been restricted by its inability to effectively and preferentially heat malignant cells. The limited spatial resolution may be circumvented by the intravenous administration of cancer-targeting magnetic nanoparticles that accumulate in the tumor, followed by the application of an alternating magnetic field to raise the temperature of the nanoparticles located in the tumor tissue. This targeted approach enables preferential heating of malignant cancer cells whilst sparing the surrounding normal tissue, potentially improving the effectiveness and safety of hyperthermia. Despite promising results in preclinical studies, there are numerous challenges that must be addressed before this technique can progress to the clinic. This review discusses these challenges and highlights the current understanding of targeted magnetic hyperthermia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recently it has been shown that radiation dose enhancement could be achievable in radiotherapy using nanoparticles (NPs). In this study, evaluation was made to determine efficiency of gold-silica shell-core NP in megavoltage irradiation of MCF7 breath cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Gold-silicon oxide shell-core NPs were obtained by conjugation of gold NP with amine or thiol functionalized silica NPs (AuN@SiO2 and AuS@SiO2). Cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of NPs were examined by fluorescent microscopy and MTT assay, respectively. MCF-7 breast cancer cells were treated with both NPs and irradiation was made with X-ray energies of 6 and 18 MV to the absorbed dose of 2, 4 and 8 Gy using Simense linear accelerator. The efficiency of radiation therapy was then evaluated by MTT and Brdu assay, DAPI staining and cell cycle analysis. RESULTS TEM images indicated that synthesized NPs had average diameter of 25 nm. Cellular uptake demonstrated that the internalization of AuS@SiO2 and AuN@SiO2 NPs amounted to 18% and 34%, 3 h post treatment, respectively. Nontoxicity of prepared NPs on MCF-7 cells was proved by MTT and Brdu assays as well as DAPI staining and cell cycle studies. The highest enhancement in radiation dose was observed in the cells that irradiated with radiation energy of 18 MV and absorbed of 8 Gy at NPs concentration of 200 ppm. The Brdu findings revealed that the cytotoxicity and apoptosis on MCF-7 cells are dose dependent with a significantly more death in AuN@SiO2 (amine) exposed cells (p < .05). Analysis also revealed interruption in cell cycle by demonstrating lack of cells, in S phase in amine treated cells (AuN@SiO2) at given dose of 8 Gy using 18 MV X-ray in comparison to thiol treated cells. CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the gold-silicon oxide shell-core NPs could play an effective role in radiotherapy of MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is one of the major therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment. In the past decade, there has been growing interest in using high Z (atomic number) elements (materials) as radiosensitizers. New strategies in nanomedicine could help to improve cancer diagnosis and therapy at cellular and molecular levels. Metal-based nanoparticles usually exhibit chemical inertness in cellular and subcellular systems and may play a role in radiosensitization and synergistic cell-killing effects for radiation therapy. This review summarizes the efficacy of metal-based NanoEnhancers against cancers in both in vitro and in vivo systems for a range of ionizing radiations including gamma-rays, X-rays, and charged particles. The potential of translating preclinical studies on metal-based nanoparticles-enhanced radiation therapy into clinical practice is also discussed using examples of several metal-based NanoEnhancers (such as CYT-6091, AGuIX, and NBTXR3). Also, a few general examples of theranostic multimetallic nanocomposites are presented, and the related biological mechanisms are discussed.

Abstract
Enhancement of radiation effects by high-atomic number nanoparticles (NPs) has been increasingly studied for its potential to improve radiotherapeutic efficacy. The underlying principle of NP radio-enhancement is the potential to release copious electrons into a nanoscale volume, thereby amplifying radiation-induced biological damage. While the vast majority of studies to date have focused on gold nanoparticles with photon radiation, an increasing number of experimental, theoretical and simulation studies have explored opportunities offered by other NPs (e.g. gadolinium, platinum, iron oxide, hafnium) and other therapeutic radiation sources such as ion beams. It is thus of interest to the research community to consolidate findings from the different studies and summarise progress to date, as well as to identify strategies that offer promising opportunities for clinical translation. This is the purpose of this Topical Review.

Abstract
Because of their great scientific and technological potentials, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have been the focus of extensive investigations in biomedicine over the past decade. Additionally, the surface plasmon resonance effect of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) makes them a good candidate for photothermal therapy applications. The unique properties of both IONPs (magnetic) and AuNPs (surface plasmon resonance) may lead to the development of a multi-modal nanoplatform to be used as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent and as a nanoheater for photothermal therapy. Herein, core-shell gold-coated IONPs (Au@IONPs) were synthesized and investigated as an MRI contrast agent and as a light-responsive agent for cancer photothermal therapy.The synthesized Au@IONPs were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta potential analysis. The transverse relaxivity (r 2) of the Au@IONPs was measured using a 3-T clinical MRI scanner. Through a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, the cytotoxicity of the Au@IONs was examined on a KB cell line, derived from the epidermal carcinoma of a human mouth. Moreover, the photothermal effects of Au@IONPs in the presence of a laser beam (λ = 808 nm; 6.3 W/cm2; 5 min) were studied.The results show that the Au@IONPs are spherical with a hydrodynamic size of 33 nm. A transverse relaxivity of 95 mM-1 S-1 was measured for the synthesized Au@IONPs. It is evident from the MTT results that no significant cytotoxicity in KB cells occurs with Au@IONPs. Additionally, no significant cell damage induced by the laser is observed. Following the photothermal treatment using Au@IONPs, approximately 70% cell death is achieved. It is found that cell lethality depended strongly on incubation period and the Au@IONP concentration.The data highlight the potential of Au@IONPs as a dual-function MRI contrast agent and photosensitizer for cancer photothermal therapy.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyse the effects of the type, concentration, and nanoparticle diameter of dose enhancement materials on the dose enhancement of low- and high-energy megavoltage (MV) X-rays acquired from a medical linear accelerator using Monte Carlo simulation. Monte Carlo simulation was performed with the Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport (MCNPX) code, using the energy spectrum of the linear accelerator and a mathematical Snyder head phantom. A 5-cm-diameter virtual tumour was defined in the centre of the phantom. Gold, gadolinium, iodine and iron oxide were used as dose enhancement materials. Varying concentrations (7, 18 and 30 mg/g) of nanoparticles of different diameters (25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 nm) were applied, and the dose enhancement was comparatively evaluated for 4, 6, 10 and 15 MV X-rays, and a 60Co source. Higher dose enhancement factors (DEFs) were observed when the incident energy was low. Moreover, the dose enhancement effects were greatest with gold nanoparticles, followed by gadolinium, iodine, and iron oxide nanoparticles; the DEFs were 1.011-1.047 (gold), 1.005-1.030 (gadolinium), 1.002-1.028 (iodine) and 1.002-1.014 (iron oxide). The dose enhancement effects increased with increasing nanoparticle diameter and concentration. However, the concentration of the material had a greater impact than the diameter of the nanoparticles. As the concentration and diameter of nanoparticles increased, the DEF also increased. The 4 and 6 MV X-rays demonstrated higher dose enhancement compared with the 10 and 15 MV X-rays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of radiotherapy is to deliver lethal damage to cancerous tissue while preserving adjacent normal tissues. Radiation absorbed dose of the tumoral cells can increase when high atomic nanoparticles are present in them during irradiation. Also, the dose rate is an important aspect in radiation effects that determines the biological results of a given dose. This in vitro study investigated the dose-rate effect on the induced radiosensitivity by dextran-coated iron oxide in cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS HeLa and MCF-7 cells were cultured in vitro and incubated with different concentrations of dextran-coated iron oxide nanoparticles. They were then irradiated with 6 MV photons at dose rates of 43, 185 and 370 cGy/min. The MTT test was used to obtain the cells' survival after 48 h of irradiations. RESULTS Incubating the cells with the nanoparticles at concentrations of 10, 40 and 80 μg/ml showed no significant cytotoxicity effect. Dextran-coated iron oxide nanoparticles showed more radiosensitivity effect by increasing the dose rate and nanoparticles concentration. Radiosensitization enhancement factors of MCF-7 and HeLa cells at a dose-rate of 370 cGy/min and nanoparticles' concentration of 80 μg/ml were 1.21 ± 0.06 and 1.19 ± 0.04, respectively. CONCLUSION Increasing the dose rate of 6 MV photons irradiation in MCF-7 and HeLa cells increases the radiosensitization induced by the dextran-coated iron nanoparticles in these cells.

Abstract
The shape effect of gold (Au) nanomaterials on the efficiency of cancer radiotherapy has not been fully elucidated. To address this issue, Au nanomaterials with different shapes but similar average size (∼50 nm) including spherical gold nanoparticles (GNPs), gold nanospikes (GNSs), and gold nanorods (GNRs) were synthesized and functionalized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) molecules. Although all of these Au nanostructures were coated with the same PEG molecules, their cellular uptake behavior differed significantly. The GNPs showed the highest cellular responses as compared to the GNSs and the GNRs (based on the same gold mass) after incubation with KB cancer cells for 24 h. The cellular uptake in cells increased in the order of GNPs > GNSs > GNRs. Our comparative studies indicated that all of these PEGylated Au nanostructures could induce enhanced cancer cell-killing rates more or less upon X-ray irradiation. The sensitization enhancement ratios (SERs) calculated by a multitarget single-hit model were 1.62, 1.37, and 1.21 corresponding to the treatments of GNPs, GNSs, and GNRs, respectively, demonstrating that the GNPs showed a higher anticancer efficiency than both GNSs and GNRs upon X-ray irradiation. Almost the same values were obtained by dividing the SERs of the three types of Au nanomaterials by their corresponding cellular uptake amounts, indicating that the higher SER of GNPs was due to their much higher cellular uptake efficiency. The above results indicated that the radiation enhancement effects were determined by the amount of the internalized gold atoms. Therefore, to achieve a strong radiosensitization effect in cancer radiotherapy, it is necessary to use Au-based nanomaterials with a high cellular internalization. Further studies on the radiosensitization mechanisms demonstrated that ROS generation and cell cycle redistribution induced by Au nanostructures played essential roles in enhancing radiosensitization. Taken together, our results indicated that the shape of Au-based nanomaterials had a significant influence on cancer radiotherapy. The present work may provide important guidance for the design and use of Au nanostructures in cancer radiotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug nano-carriers are one of the most important tools for targeted cancer therapy so that undesired side effects of chemotherapy drugs are minimized. In this area, the use of ultrasound can be helpful in controlling drug release from nanoparticles to achieve higher treatment efficiency. OBJECTIVE Here, we studies the effects of ultrasound irradiation on the release profile of 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) loaded magnetic poly lactic co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanocapsules. METHODS 5-Fu loaded magnetic PLGA nanocapsules were synthesized by multiple emulsification method. Particle size was measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The pattern of drug release was assessed with and without 3 MHz ultrasound waves at intensities of 0.3, 0.5 and 1 w/cm2 for exposure time of 5 and 10 min in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). RESULTS The size of nanoparticles was about 70 nm. Electron microscope images revealed the spherical shape of nanoparticles. The results demonstrated that the intensity and exposure time of ultrasound irradiation have significant effects on the profile of drug release from nanoparticles. CONCLUSION It may be concluded that the application of ultrasound to control the release profile of drug loaded nanocapsules would be a promising method to develop a controlled drug delivery strategy in cancer therapy.
