Functionalized ultrathin palladium nanosheets as patches for HepG2 cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Flexible, charged Pd nanosheets were prepared by using short chain thiolated carboxylic acids and amines. They could wrap around amine or hydroxyl functionalized micron-sized spheres driven by electrostatic interactions. Upon incubation with HepG2 cells, the positively charged cysteamine (CA) functionalized Pd nanosheets exhibited a much higher cytotoxicity, showing more than 80% cell death at 100 ppm than the negatively charged 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) functionalized ones which caused 30% cell death. The results show through surface functionalization Pd nanosheets can be modified to interact differently with HepG2 cancerous cells, resulting in varied cytotoxicity.

Ultrathin palladium nanosheets with selectively controlled surface facets.

Project description:We report a facile bottom-up synthetic approach to preparing ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) palladium nanosheets (PdNSs) with selectively exposed surface facets. Our synthetic strategy is based on the utilization of the nanoconfined lamellar mesophases of amphiphilic functional surfactants to template the growth of PdNSs in aqueous solution. Preferential adsorption of functional groups (e.g., COOH, pyridyl and quaternary ammonium) and halide counter ions (e.g., Br- and Cl-) in the long-chain surfactants onto different Pd planes results in the epitaxial growth of {100}, {110} and {111}-exposed surface facets of ultrathin PdNSs. Our synthetic approach is a general, powerful and scalable method to precisely control the surface facets of ultrathin 2D PdNSs, thus providing an opportunity to evaluate facet-dependent catalytic performance of Pd nanocrystals. Ultrathin PdNSs have been examined as the electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs). We show that {100}-exposed PdNSs display superior catalytic activity and stability for HERs, compared to that of {110} and {111}-exposed ones as well as their bulk counterparts. Conceivably, our findings will offer a general guideline in rational design of surfactant templates for other 2D metal nanosheets.

Cancer-derived exosomes loaded with ultrathin palladium nanosheets for targeted bioorthogonal catalysis.

Project description:The transformational impact of bioorthogonal chemistries has inspired new strategies for the in vivo synthesis of bioactive agents through non-natural means. Among these, palladium (Pd) catalysts have played a prominent role in the growing subfield of bioorthogonal catalysis by producing xenobiotics and uncaging biomolecules in living systems. However, delivering catalysts selectively to specific cell types still lags behind catalyst development. Here we have developed a bio-artificial device consisting of cancer-derived exosomes loaded with Pd catalysts by a method that enables the controlled assembly of Pd nanosheets directly inside the vesicles. This hybrid system mediates Pd-triggered dealkylation reactions in vitro and inside cells and displays preferential tropism for their progenitor cells. The use of Trojan exosomes to deliver abiotic catalysts into designated cancer cells creates the opportunity for a new targeted therapy modality: exosome-directed catalyst prodrug therapy, whose first steps are presented herein with the cell-specific release of the anticancer drug panobinostat.

Sensitive capture of circulating tumour cells by functionalized graphene oxide nanosheets.

Project description:The spread of cancer throughout the body is driven by circulating tumour cells (CTCs). These cells detach from the primary tumour and move from the bloodstream to a new site of subsequent tumour growth. They also carry information about the primary tumour and have the potential to be valuable biomarkers for disease diagnosis and progression, and for the molecular characterization of certain biological properties of the tumour. However, the limited sensitivity and specificity of current methods for measuring and studying these cells in patient blood samples prevents the realization of their full clinical potential. The use of microfluidic devices is a promising method for isolating CTCs. However, the devices are reliant on three-dimensional structures, which limits further characterization and expansion of cells on the chip. Here we demonstrate an effective approach to isolating CTCs from blood samples of pancreatic, breast and lung cancer patients, by using functionalized graphene oxide nanosheets on a patterned gold surface. CTCs were captured with high sensitivity at a low concentration of target cells (73 ± 32.4% at 3-5 cells per ml blood).

Synthesis of Ultrathin Biotite Nanosheets as an Intelligent Theranostic Platform for Combination Cancer Therapy.

Project description:Biotite, also called black mica (BM), is a group of sheet silicate minerals with great potential in various fields. However, synthesis of high-quality BM nanosheets (NSs) remains a huge challenge. Here, an exfoliation approach is provided that combines calcination, n-butyllithium exchange and intercalation, and liquid exfoliating processes for the high-yield synthesis of ultrathin BM NSs. Due to the presence of MgO, Fe2O3, and FeO in these NSs, PEGylated BM can be engineered as an intelligent theranostic platform with the following unique features: i) Fe3+ can damage the tumor microenvironment (TME) through glutathione consumption and O2 production; ii) Generated O2 can be further catalyzed by MgO with oxygen vacancy to generate ·O2 -; iii) The Fe2+-catalyzed Fenton reaction can produce ·OH by disproportionation reactions of H2O2 in the TME; iv) Reactions in (i) and (iii) circularly regenerate Fe2+ and Fe3+ for continuous consumption of glutathione and H2O2 and constant production of ·OH and O2; v) The NSs can be triggered by a 650 nm laser to generate ·O2 - from O2 as well as by an 808 nm laser to generate local hyperthermia; and vi) The fluorescent, photoacoustic, and photothermal imaging capabilities of the engineered NSs allow for multimodal imaging-guided breast cancer treatment.

Colloidal Synthesis of NbS<sub>2</sub> Nanosheets: From Large-Area Ultrathin Nanosheets to Hierarchical Structures.

Project description:Layered NbS2, a member of group-V transition metal dichalcogenides, was synthesized via a colloidal synthesis method and employed as a negative material for a supercapacitor. The morphologies of NbS2 can be tuned from ultrathin nanosheets to hierarchical structures through dynamics controls based on growth mechanisms. Electrochemical energy storage measurements present that the ultrathin NbS2 electrode exhibits the highest rate capability due to having the largest electrochemical surface area and its efficient ion diffusion. Meanwhile, the hierarchical NbS2 shows the highest specific capacitance at low current densities for small charge transfer resistance, displays 221.4 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and 117.1 F g-1 at 10 A g-1, and cycling stability with 78.9% of the initial specific capacitance after 10,000 cycles. The aggregate or stacking of nanosheets can be suppressed effectively by constructing hierarchical structure NbS2 nanosheets.

Ultrathin Single-Crystalline Boron Nanosheets for Enhanced Electro-Optical Performances.

Project description:Large-scale single-crystalline ultrathin boron nanosheets (UBNSs, ?10 nm) are fabricated through an effective vapor-solid process via thermal decomposition of diborane. The UBNSs have obvious advantages over thicker boron nanomaterials in many aspects. Specifically, the UBNSs demonstrate excellent field emission performances with a low turn-on field, Eto, of 3.60 V ?m-1 and a good stability. Further, the dependence of (turn-on field) Eto/(threshold field) Ethr and effective work function, ?e, on temperature is investigated and the possible mechanism of temperature-dependent field emission phenomenon has been discussed. Moreover, electronic transport in a single UBNS reveals it to be an intrinsic p-type semiconductor behavior with carrier mobility about 1.26 × 10-1 cm2 V-1 s-1, which is the best data in reported works. Interestingly, a multiconductive mechanism coexisting phenomenon has been explored based on the study of temperature-dependent conductivity behavior of the UBNSs. Besides, the photodetector device fabricated from single-crystalline UBNS demonstrates good sensitivity, reliable stability, and fast response, obviously superior to other reported boron nanomaterials. Such superior electronic-optical performances are originated from the high quality of single crystal and large specific surface area of the UBNSs, suggesting the potential applications of the UBNSs in field-emitters, interconnects, integrated circuits, and optoelectronic devices.

A Novel Top-Down Synthesis of Ultrathin 2D Boron Nanosheets for Multimodal Imaging-Guided Cancer Therapy.

Project description:Single atom nonmetal 2D nanomaterials have shown considerable potential in cancer nanomedicines, owing to their intriguing properties and biocompatibility. Herein, ultrathin boron nanosheets (B NSs) are prepared through a novel top-down approach by coupling thermal oxidation etching and liquid exfoliation technologies, with controlled nanoscale thickness. Based on the PEGylated B NSs, a new photonic drug delivery platform is developed, which exhibits multiple promising features for cancer therapy and imaging, including: i) efficient NIR-light-to-heat conversion with a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 42.5%, ii) high drug-loading capacity and triggered drug release by NIR light and moderate acidic pH, iii) strong accumulation at tumor sites, iv) multimodal imaging properties (photoacoustic, photothermal, and fluorescence imaging), and v) complete tumor ablation and excellent biocompatibility. As far as it is known, this is the first report on the top-down fabrication of ultrathin 2D B NSs by the combined thermal oxidation etching and liquid exfoliation, as well as their application as a multimodal imaging-guided drug delivery platform. The newly prepared B NSs are also expected to provide a robust and useful 2D nanoplatform for various biomedical applications.
