BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:897. [PMID: 37754131 PMCID: PMC10527071 DOI: 10.3390/bios13090897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common types of cancer disease worldwide and it accounts for thousands of deaths annually. Lapatinib is among the preferred drugs for the treatment of breast cancer. Possible drug toxicity effects of lapatinib can be controlled by real-time determination of the appropriate dose for a patient at the point of care. In this study, a novel highly sensitive polymeric nanobiosensor for lapatinib is presented. A composite of poly(anilino-co-4-aminobenzoic acid) co-polymer {poly(ANI-co-4-ABA)} and coffee extract-based green-synthesized indium nanoparticles (InNPs) was used to develop the sensor platform on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE), i.e., SPCE||poly(ANI-co-4-ABA-InNPs). Cytochrome P450-3A4 (CYP3A4) enzyme and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were incorporated on the modified platform to produce the SPCE||poly(ANI-co-4-ABA-InNPs)|CYP3A4|PEG lapatinib nanobiosensor. Experiments for the determination of the electrochemical response characteristics of the nanobiosensor were performed with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The nanobiosensor calibration for 0-100 ng/mL lapatinib was linear and gave limit of detection (LOD) values of 13.21 ng/mL lapatinib and 18.6 ng/mL lapatinib in physiological buffer and human serum, respectively. The LOD values are much lower than the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of lapatinib (2.43 µg/mL), which is attained 4 h after the administration of a daily dose of 1250 mg lapatinib. The electrochemical nanobiosensor also exhibited excellent anti-interference performance and stability.

Regen Biomater 2023; 10:rbad042. [PMID: 37274617 PMCID: PMC10234760 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbad042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are an excellent bone tissue repair material both in vitro and in vivo. The interactions between MWCNTs and single type of cells of bone tissue, including osteoblasts, bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) or osteoclasts, have been extensively studied. However, the interactions between MWCNTs with different types of cells in the bone microenvironment remain elusive. Bone microenvironment is a complex system composed of different types of cells, which have interactions between each other. In this work, the effects of MWCNTs on bone microenvironment were firstly studied by culture of MWCNTs with BMSCs, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, macrophages and vascular endothelial cells, respectively. Then, co-culture systems of macrophages-BMSCs, macrophages-calvaria and macrophages-BMSCs-vascular endothelial cells were treated with MWCNTs, respectively. The osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and osteoblasts was inhibited when these two types of cells were cultured with MWCNTs, respectively. Strikingly, when co-culture MWCNTs with BMSCs and macrophages, the osteogenesis of BMSCs was promoted by inducing the M2 polymerization of macrophages. Meanwhile, MWCNTs promoted the bone formation in the osteolysis model of calvaria ex vivo. In addition, the formation of osteoclasts was inhibited, and angiogenesis was increased when treated with MWCNTs. This study revealed the inconsistent effects of MWCNTs on single type of bone cells and on the bone microenvironment. The results provided basic research data for the application of MWCNTs in bone tissue repair.

From Bio to Nano: A Review of Sustainable Methods of Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes. SUSTAINABILITY 2020. [DOI: 10.3390/su12104115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
This review summarizes the up-to-date techniques devised to synthesize carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from liquid or solid precursors of sustainable nature. The possibility to replace petroleum-based feeds for renewable resources such as essential oils or plant shoots is critically examined. The analysis shows that the complex nature of such resources requires the optimization of the reaction conditions to obtain products of desired microstructure and chemical composition. However, appropriate tuning of the process parameters enables the synthesis of even high-purity single-walled CNTs with a spectrum of demonstrated high-performance applications at low cost. The sheer number of successful studies completed on this front so far and described herein validate that the development of techniques for the manufacture of such products of high-added value from common precursors is not only possible but, most importantly, promising.

Abstract
Carbon nanotube-Graphene (CNT-Gr) hybrids were prepared on stainless steel substrates by the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to make the thermo-electrochemical cell (TEC) electrodes. The as-obtained TEC electrodes were investigated by the SEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, tensile, and surface resistance tests. These hybrid electrodes exhibited significant improved TEC performances compared to the pristine CNT electrode. In addition, these hybrid electrodes could be optimized by tuning the contents of the graphene in the hybrids, and the CNT-Gr-0.1 hybrid electrode showed the best TEC performance with the current density of 62.8 A·m−2 and the power density of 1.15 W·m−2, 30.4% higher than the CNT electrode. The enhanced TEC performance is attributed to improvements in the electrical and thermal conductivities, as well as the adhesion between the CNT-Gr hybrid and the substrate. Meanwhile, the relative conversion efficiency of the TECs can reach 1.35%. The investigation suggests that the growth of CNT-Gr hybrid electrodes by the EPD technique may offer a promising approach for practical applications of the carbon nanomaterial-based TEC electrodes.
