Abstract
Mitochondrial malfunction plays a crucial role in cancer development and progression. Cancer cells show a substantially higher mitochondrial activity and greater mitochondrial transmembrane potential than normal cells. This concept can be exploited for targeting cytotoxic drugs to the mitochondria of cancer cells using mitochondrial-targeting compounds. In this study, a polyamidoamine dendrimer-based mitochondrial delivery system was prepared for curcumin using triphenylphosphonium ligands to improve the anticancer efficacy of the drug in vitro and in vivo. For the in vitro evaluations, various methods, such as viability assay, confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses, were applied. Our findings showed that the targeted-dendrimeric curcumin (TDC) could successfully deliver and colocalize the drug to the mitochondria of the cancer cells, and selectively induce a potent apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M. Moreover, at a low curcumin dose of less than 25 μM, TDC significantly reduced adenosine triphosphate and glutathione, and increased the ROS level of the isolated rat hepatocyte mitochondria. The in vivo studies on the Hepa1-6 tumor-bearing mice also indicated a significant tumor suppression effect and the highest median survival days (Kaplan-Meier survival estimation and log-rank test) after treatment with the TDC construct compared to the free curcumin and untargeted construct. Besides its targeted nature and safety, the expected improved solubility and stability represent the prepared targeted-dendrimeric construct as an up-and-coming candidate for cancer treatment. The results of this study emphasize the promising route of mitochondrial targeting as a practical approach for cancer therapy, which can be achieved by optimizing the delivery method.

Abstract
Hybrid complexes of fluorescent nanoparticles and tetrapyrrole dyes are currently considered as promising third-generation photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy, including cancer treatment. Using nanoparticles as a platform for delivery of photosensitizers to target cells can increase the efficiency of photodynamic action. In this work, we synthesized a complex of polymer-coated CdSe/ZnS quantum dots, substituted phthalocyanines and human transferrin. Such complexes effectively enter human epidermoid carcinoma cells (A431) due to transferrin-mediated endocytosis and are localized in the perinuclear compartment. We observed an efficient excitation energy transfer from the quantum dot to phthalocyanine in the cells, which indicates stability of the complex upon its internalization. It was shown that the photodynamic activity of hybrid complexes covalently bonded to transferrin is 15% higher than the activity of unmodified hybrid complexes. Our results confirm the feasibility of using fluorescent nanoparticles to enhance the photodynamic properties of photosensitizers based on tetrapyrrole dyes.

Abstract
Nanotechnology-assisted spatiotemporal manipulation of biological events holds great promise in advancing the practice of precision medicine in healthcare systems. The progress in internal and/or external stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms for highly specific cellular regulations and theranostic controls offer potential clinical translations of the revolutionized nanomedicine. To successfully implement this new paradigm, the emerging light-responsive nanoregulators with unparalleled precise cell functions manipulation have gained intensive attention, providing UV-Vis light-triggered photocleavage or photoisomerization studies, as well as near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated deep-tissue applications for stimulating cellular signal cascades and treatment of mortal diseases. This review discusses current developments of light-activatable nanoplatforms for modulations of various cellular events including neuromodulations, stem cell monitoring, immunomanipulation, cancer therapy, and other biological target intervention. In summary, the propagation of light-controlled nanomedicine would place a bright prospect for future medicine.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles ranging in size from 2 to 10 nm. QDs are increasingly being developed for biomedical imaging, targeted drug delivery and green energy technology. These have led to much research on QD interactions with various physical, chemical and biological systems. For biological systems, research has focused on the biocompatibility/cytotoxicity of QDs in the context of imaging/therapy. However, there is a paucity of work on how biological systems and bioactive molecules might be used to alter the optoelectronic properties of QDs. Here, it is shown that these properties can be altered by reactive oxygen species (ROS) from chemotherapeutic media and biological cells following controlled changes in cellular activities. Using CdSe/ZnS core-shell QDs, spectroscopic analysis of optically excited QDs with HL60, K562 and T98G cancer cell lines is performed. Our results show statistically significant (P < 0.0001) modulation of the fluorescence emission spectra of the QDs due to the ROS produced by common chemotherapeutic drugs, daunorubicin and doxorubicin and by cells following chemotherapy/radiotherapy. This optical modulation, in addition to assessing ROS generation, will possibly enhance applications of QDs in simultaneous diagnostic imaging and nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery as well as simultaneous ROS assessment and radiosensitization for improved outcomes in cancer treatments. Reactive molecular species produced by biological cells and chemotherapeutic drugs can create electric fields that alter the photophysical properties of QDs, and this can be used for concurrent monitoring of cellular activities, while inducing changes in those cellular activities.

Abstract
Background Glioma is the most aggressive and lethal brain tumor in humans, it comprises about 30 per cent of all brain tumors and central nervous system tumors. Purpose The objective of this study was to create novel brain-targeting nanoliposomes to encapsulate curcumin as a promising option for glioma therapy. Patients and methods Human glioma cells (U251MG) were used to determine cell uptake efficiency and possible internalization mechanism of the curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes modified by a brain-targeting peptide RDP. In addition, intracranial glioma mice model was prepared by transplantation of U251MG cells into the mice striatum, and then the liposomes were intravenously administered into the glioma-bearing mice to evaluate the anti-glioma activity. Results RDP-modified liposomes (RCL) could enter the brain and glioma region, and were internalized by the glioma cells perhaps through acetylcholine receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway. Furthermore, the RCL prolonged the survival time of the glioma-bearing mice from 23 to 33 days, and the inhibition mechanism of the RCL on glioma cell was partly due to cell cycle arrest at the S phase and induction of cell apoptosis. Conclusion This study would provide a potential approach for targeted delivery of drug-loaded liposomes for glioma treatment.

Abstract
Understanding the relationships between the physicochemical properties of engineered nanomaterials and their toxicity is critical for environmental and health risk analysis. However, this task is confounded by material diversity, heterogeneity of published data and limited sampling within individual studies. Here, we present an approach for analysing and extracting pertinent knowledge from published studies focusing on the cellular toxicity of cadmium-containing semiconductor quantum dots. From 307 publications, we obtain 1,741 cell viability-related data samples, each with 24 qualitative and quantitative attributes describing the material properties and experimental conditions. Using random forest regression models to analyse the data, we show that toxicity is closely correlated with quantum dot surface properties (including shell, ligand and surface modifications), diameter, assay type and exposure time. Our approach of integrating quantitative and categorical data provides a roadmap for interrogating the wide-ranging toxicity data in the literature and suggests that meta-analysis can help develop methods for predicting the toxicity of engineered nanomaterials.

Abstract
This study was designed to confirm the protective effect of Schisandrae Fructus, which are the dried fruits of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill, against oxidative stress-induced cellular damage and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms in C2C12 myoblasts. Preincubating C2C12 cells with a Schisandrae Fructus ethanol extract (SFEE) significantly attenuated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced inhibition of growth and induced scavenging activity against intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by H2O2. SFEE also inhibited comet tail formation and phospho-histone γH2A.X expression, suggesting that it prevents H2O2-induced cellular DNA damage. Furthermore, treating C2C12 cells with SFEE significantly induced heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and phosphorylation of nuclear factor-erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2). However, zinc protoporphyrin IX, a potent inhibitor of HO-1 activity, significantly reversed the protective effects of SFEE against H2O2-induced growth inhibition and ROS generation in C2C12 cells. Additional experiments revealed that the potential of the SFEE to induce HO-1 expression and protect against H2O2-mediated cellular damage was abrogated by transient transfection with Nrf2-specific small interfering RNA, suggesting that the SFEE protected C2C12 cells against oxidative stress-induced injury through the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.
