Project description:A novel sandwich nanomedicine (GO-BNN6) for near-infrared (NIR) light responsive release of nitric oxide (NO) has been constructed by self-assembly of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets and a NO donor BNN6 through the ?-? stacking interaction. The GO-BNN6 nanomedicine has an extraordinarily high drug loading capacity (1.2 mg BNN6 per mg GO), good thermal stability, and high NIR responsiveness. The NO release from GO-BNN6 can be easily triggered and effectively controlled by adjusting the switching, irradiation time and power density of NIR laser. The intracellular NIR-responsive release of NO from the GO-BNN6 nanomedicine causes a remarkable anti-cancer effect.

Project description:Smart nanoparticles (NPs) that respond to external and internal stimulations have been developing to achieve optimal drug release in tumour. However, applying these smart NPs to attain high antitumour performance is hampered by limited drug carriers and inefficient spatiotemporal control. Here we report a noninvasive NIR-driven, temperature-sensitive DI-TSL (DOX/ICG-loaded temperature sensitive liposomes) co-encapsulating doxorubicin (DOX) and indocyanine green (ICG). This theranostic system applies thermo-responsive lipid to controllably release drug, utilizes the fluorescence (FL) of DOX/ICG to real-time trace the distribution of NPs, and employs DOX/ICG to treat cancer by chemo/photothermal therapy. DI-TSL exhibits uniform size distribution, excellent FL/size stability, enhanced response to NIR-laser, and 3 times increased drug release through laser irradiation. After endocytosis by MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cells, DI-TSL in cellular endosomes can cause hyperthermia through laser irradiation, then endosomes are disrupted and DI-TSL 'opens' to release DOX simultaneously for increased cytotoxicity. Furthermore, DI-TSL shows laser-controlled release of DOX in tumour, enhanced ICG and DOX retention by 7 times and 4 times compared with free drugs. Thermo-sensitive DI-TSL manifests high efficiency to promote cell apoptosis, and completely eradicate tumour without side-effect. DI-TSL may provide a smart strategy to release drugs on demand for combinatorial cancer therapy.

Project description:Liquid metals (LMs) have recently emerged as a new class of promising multifunctional materials with attractive properties. They have excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, generating heat under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. This work reports encapsulating LM droplets into poly(NIPAm-co-MBA) hydrogels (PNM) to achieve nanodispersed liquid metals in bulk polymeric hydrogels for NIR laser-responsive materials. LM droplets (∼530 nm) are produced by dispersing an alloy of gallium and indium (EGaIn) into glycerol. The LM-loaded PNM hydrogels (PNM/LM) exhibited excellent thermal-/NIR laser-responsive ability. In a water bath, the weight of the PNM/LM can decrease 92% at 50 °C. And the volume of PNM/LM can decrease 62% under NIR laser irradiation for 12 min. Because of its thermal-/NIR laser-responsive ability and porous three-dimensional (3D) networks, PNM/LM is very suitable for use as a drug carrier. We also prepared doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded PNM/LM hydrogels (PNM/LM/DOX) and demonstrated that the PNM/LM/DOX hydrogel can generate heat and raise its temperature under NIR laser irradiation. When the temperature becomes higher than the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), such a hydrogel would shrink immediately and extrude the DOX encapsulated in its networks simultaneously, then complete the controlled release of the pre-loaded drug. Further, an in vitro cytotoxicity test indicated the biocompatibility and feasibility as a chemophotothermal synergistic therapeutic of the present hydrogel. This NIR laser-responsive hydrogel fully exhibits its superiority as a drug carrier which promises great potential in future targeted controlled drug release.

Project description:Graphene-based drug carriers provide a promising addition to current cancer drug delivery options. Increased accessibility of high-quality graphene made by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) makes it an attractive material to revisit in comparison to the widely studied graphene oxide (GO) in drug delivery. Here, we show the potential of repurposing the metabolic drug phenformin for cancer treatment in terms of stability, binding, and pH-responsive release. Using covalent attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) onto pristine (PE-CVD) graphene, we show that PEG stabilized graphene nanosheets (PGNS) are stable in aqueous solutions and exhibit higher binding affinity toward phenformin than GO. Moreover, we experimentally demonstrate an improved drug release from PGNS than GO at pH levels lower than physiological conditions, yet comparable to that found in tumor microenvironments.

Project description:Nano coatings for anti-corrosion and electromagnetic wave absorbing can simultaneously implement the functions of assimilating electromagnetic waves and reducing the corrosion of materials caused by corrosive environments, such as seawater. In this work, a composite material for both electromagnetic wave absorption and anti-corrosion was prepared by an in-situ chemical oxidation and surface coating method using carbonyl iron powder (CIP), graphene oxide (GO) and aniline (AN). The synthesized composite material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and XRD. The carbonyl iron powder-graphene oxide-polyaniline (CIP-GO-PANI) composite material was used as the functional filler, and the epoxy resin was the matrix body for preparing the anticorrosive wave-absorbing coating. The results show that CIP had strong wave-absorbing properties, and the anti-corrosion property was greatly enhanced after being coated by GO-PANI.

Project description:Carrier-free nanoparticles with high drug loading have attracted increasing attention; however, in situ on-demand drug release remains a challenge. Here, a novel near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced blasting carrier-free nanodrug delivery system is designed and fabricated by coating doxorubicin (DOX) nanoparticles (DNPs) with a polydopamine film (PDA) that would prolong the blood circulation time of DNPs and avoid the preleakage of the DOX during blood circulation. Meanwhile, the NH4HCO3 is introduced to trigger in situ "bomb-like" release of DOX for the production of carbon dioxide (CO2) and ammonia (NH3) gases driven by NIR irradiated photothermal effect of PDA. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that the carrier-free nanovectors with high drug loading efficiency (85.8%) prolong tumor accumulation, enhance chemotherapy, achieve the synergistic treatment of chemotherapy and photothermal treatment, and do not induce any foreign-body reaction over a three-week implantation. Hence, the delicate design opens a self-assembly path to develop PDA-based NIR-responsive multifunctional carrier-free nanoparticles for tumor therapy.

Project description:Understanding the chemical and physical properties of metal/graphene oxide (M/GO) interfaces is important when GO is used in electronic and electrochemical devices because the metal layer must be firmly attached to GO. Here, permeation of metal from the surface into GO paper bulk at the M/GO interface was observed at room temperature for metals such as Cu, Ag, Ni, Au, and Pt. Cu, Ag, and Ni quickly permeated GO as ions into the bulk under humid conditions. At first, these metals changed to hydrated ions as a result of redox reactions (with reduction of GO) at the surface, and then permeated the interlayers. Au and Pt were observed to permeate GO as atoms into the GO bulk at room temperature, although the permeation rates were low. These surprising results are considered to be due to the presence of many defects and/or edges with oxygenated groups in the GO paper.

Project description:In recent years, stimuli-responsive degradation has emerged as a desirable design criterion for functional hydrogels to tune the release of encapsulated payload as well as ensure degradation of the gel upon completion of its function. Herein, redox-responsive hydrogels with a well-defined network structure were obtained using a highly efficient thiol-disulfide exchange reaction. In particular, gelation occurred upon combining thiol-terminated tetra-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers with linear telechelic PEG-based polymers containing pyridyl disulfide units at their chain ends. Rapid gelation proceeds with good conversions (>85%) to yield macroporous hydrogels possessing high water uptake. Furthermore, due to the presence of the disulfide linkages, the thus-obtained hydrogels can self-heal. The obtained hydrogels undergo complete degradation when exposed to environments rich in thiol-containing agents such as dithiothreitol (DTT) and L-glutathione (GSH). Also, the release profile of encapsulated protein, namely, bovine serum albumin, can be tuned by varying the molecular weight of the polymeric precursors. Additionally, it was demonstrated that complete dissolution of the hydrogel to rapidly release the encapsulated protein occurs upon treating these hydrogels with DTT. Cytotoxicity evaluation of the hydrogels and their degradation products indicated the benign nature of these hydrogels. Additionally, the cytocompatible nature of these materials was also evident from a live/dead cell viability assay. One can envision that the facile fabrication and their ability to degrade on-demand and release their payload will make these benign polymeric scaffolds attractive for various biomedical applications.

Project description:This project aimed to investigate the synthesis and characteristics of stimuli-responsive nanoparticles with different morphologies. In the first step, graphene oxide was synthesized based on the improved Hummers' method. Then, thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-(hydroxymethyl)acrylamide), an amphiphilic copolymer, and poly(caprolactone) (PCL), a hydrophobic polymer, were used to prepare Janus and mixed graphene oxide-based nanoparticles. Fluorescence microscopy was utilized to confirm the Janus structure by labeling the mixed and Janus NPs with fluorescent hydrophobic and hydrophilic dyes via a solvent-evaporation method. Then, terminally modified carboxyl porphyrin (TPPC3-COOH), used as the second generation photosensitizer, was grafted to the copolymer surrounding the mixed and Janus NPs. Next, quercetin, a hydrophobic anti-cancer drug, was loaded onto both NPs to accomplish NIR-triggered photodynamic- and chemo-therapy. Finally, the drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, and in vitro release of thermo-responsive NPs were investigated at temperatures of 37 °C and 40 °C as well as under laser irradiation (808 nm).
