Multifunctional PVCL nanogels with redox-responsiveness enable enhanced MR imaging and ultrasound-promoted tumor chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Development of versatile nanoplatforms that simultaneously integrate therapeutic and diagnostic features for stimuli-responsive delivery to tumors remains a great challenge. In this work, we report a novel intelligent redox-responsive hybrid nanosystem composed of MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and doxorubicin (DOX) co-loaded within poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) nanogels (PVCL NGs) for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided and ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD)-promoted tumor chemotherapy. Methods: PVCL NGs were first synthesized via a precipitation polymerization method, decorated with amines using ethylenediamine, and loaded with MnO2 NPs through oxidation with permanganate and DOX via physical encapsulation and Mn-N coordination bonding. The as-prepared DOX/MnO2@PVCL NGs were well characterized. UTMD-promoted cellular uptake and therapeutic efficacy of the hybrid NGs were assessed in vitro, and a xenografted tumor model was used to test the NGs for MR imaging and UTMD-promoted tumor therapy in vivo. Results: The as-prepared DOX/MnO2@PVCL NGs with a size of 106.8 nm display excellent colloidal stability, favorable biocompatibility, and redox-responsiveness to the reductive intracellular environment and tumor tissues having a relatively high glutathione (GSH) concentration that can trigger the synchronous release of Mn2+ for enhanced T1-weighted MR imaging and DOX for enhanced cancer chemotherapy. Moreover, the DOX/MnO2@PVCL NGs upon the UTMD-promotion exhibit a significantly enhanced tumor growth inhibition effect toward subcutaneous B16 melanoma owing to the UTMD-improved cellular internalization and tumor penetration. Conclusion: Our work thereby proposes a promising theranostic nanoplatform for stimuli-responsive T1-weighted MR imaging-guided tumor chemotherapy.

Project description:BackgroundShrimp aquaculture has suffered huge economic losses over the past decade due to the outbreak of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND), which is mainly caused by the bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) with the virulence pVA1 plasmid, which encodes a secretory photorhabdus insect-related (Pir) toxin composed of PirA and PirB proteins. The Pir toxin mainly attacks the hepatopancreas, a major metabolic organ in shrimp, thereby causing necrosis and loss of function. The pandemic of antibiotic-resistant strains makes the impact worse.MethodsMild pyrolysis of a mixture of polysaccharide dextran 70 and the crosslinker 1,8-diaminooctane at 180 ℃ for 3 h to form carbonized nanogels (DAO/DEX-CNGs) through controlled cross-linking and carbonization. The multifunctional therapeutic CNGs inherit nanogel-like structures and functional groups from their precursor molecules.ResultsDAO/DEX-CNGs manifest broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Vibrio parahaemolyticus responsible for AHPND and even multiple drug-resistant strains. The polymer-like structures and functional groups on graphitic-carbon within the CNGs exhibit multiple treatment effects, including disruption of bacterial membranes, elevating bacterial oxidative stress, and neutralization of PirAB toxins. The inhibition of Vibrio in the midgut of infected shrimp, protection of hepatopancreas tissue from Pir toxin, and suppressing overstimulation of the immune system in severe V. parahaemolyticus infection, revealing that CNGs can effectively guard shrimp from Vibrio invasion. Moreover, shrimps fed with DAO/DEX-CNGs were carefully examined, such as the expression of the immune-related genes, hepatopancreas biopsy, and intestinal microbiota. Few adverse effects on shrimps were observed.ConclusionOur work proposes brand-new applications of multifunctional carbon-based nanomaterials as efficient anti-Vibrio agents in the aquatic industry that hold great potential as feed additives to reduce antibiotic overuse in aquaculture.
