Graphene oxide (GO)-based nanosheets with combined chemo/photothermal/photodynamic therapy to overcome gastric cancer (GC) paclitaxel resistance by reducing mitochondria-derived adenosine-triphosphate (ATP).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Paclitaxel (PTX) has been suggested to be a promising front-line drug for gastric cancer (GC), while P-glycoprotein (P-gp) could lead to drug resistance by pumping PTX out of GC cells. Consequently, it might be a hopeful way to combat drug resistance by inhibiting the out-pumping function of P-gp.

Results

In this study, we developed a drug delivery system incorporating PTX onto polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified and oxidized sodium alginate (OSA)-functionalized graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets (NSs), called PTX@GO-PEG-OSA. Owing to pH/thermal-sensitive drug release properties, PTX@GO-PEG-OSA could induced more obvious antitumor effects on GC, compared to free PTX. With near infrared (NIR)-irradiation, PTX@GO-PEG-OSA could generate excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), attack mitochondrial respiratory chain complex enzyme, reduce adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) supplement for P-gp, and effectively inhibit P-gp's efflux pump function. Since that, PTX@GO-PEG-OSA achieved better therapeutic effect on PTX-resistant GC without evident toxicity.

Conclusions

In conclusion, PTX@GO-PEG-OSA could serve as a desirable strategy to reverse PTX's resistance, combined with chemo/photothermal/photodynamic therapy.

Synergistic photothermal/photodynamic suppression of prostatic carcinoma by targeted biodegradable MnO2 nanosheets.

Project description:The biodegradability and clearance of metal-based nanomaterials have been questioned worldwide, which have greatly limited their clinical translation. Herein, ultrathin manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets with broad near-infrared (NIR) absorption and pH-dependent degradation properties were prepared. After being modified with polyethylene glycol-cyclic arginine-glycineaspartic acid tripeptide (PEG-cRGD), the MnO2 nanosheets were then used as photothermal agent and nanocarrier to encapsulate chlorin e6 (Ce6) for targeted photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) of cancer. As expected, the MnO2-PEG-cRGD nanosheets show high Ce6 loading capacity (351?mg/g), superb photothermal conversion performance (37.2%) and excellent colloidal stability. These nanosheets also exhibit pH-dependent and NIR-induced Ce6 release. Furthermore, the MnO2 nanosheets can be degraded by reacting with hydrogen peroxide in the acidic microenvironment, which are able to elevate the oxygen concentration in situ and thus reverses the tumor hypoxia. Thanks to these favorable properties and the cRGD-mediated tumor-targeted ability, the fabricated MnO2-PEG-cRGD/Ce6 nanocomposites can be effectively up taken by alpha-v beta-3 (?v?3) integrin over-expressed prostatic carcinoma PC3 cells and achieve favorable therapeutic outcomes under a single 660?nm NIR laser, which is also verified by in vitro studies. The biodegradable MnO2-PEG-cRGD/Ce6 nanosheets developed in this work can be a promising nanoplatform for synergetic PTT/PDT cancer therapy.

Functional black phosphorus nanosheets for mitochondria-targeting photothermal/photodynamic synergistic cancer therapy.

Project description:Organelle-targeting nanosystems are envisioned as promising tools for phototherapy, which can generate heat or reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced cytotoxicity in the targeted location but leave the surrounding biological tissues undamaged. In this work, an imaging-guided mitochondria-targeting photothermal/photodynamic nanosystem has been developed on the basis of functionalized black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets (NSs). In the nanosystem, BP NSs are coated with polydopamine (PDA) and then covalently linked with both chlorin e6 (Ce6) and triphenyl phosphonium (TPP) through carbodiimide reaction between the amino group and the carboxyl group, forming BP@PDA-Ce6&TPP NSs. Due to the strong absorbance of BP@PDA in the near-infrared region and the highly efficient ROS generation of Ce6, the as-prepared nanosystem with mitochondria-targeting capacity (TPP moiety) shows remarkably enhanced efficiency in cancer cell killing. Combined photothermal and photodynamic therapy is implemented and monitored by in vivo fluorescence imaging, achieving excellent performance in inhibiting tumor growth. This study presents a novel nanotheranostic agent for mitochondria-targeting phototherapy, which may open new horizons for biomedicine.

Mechanistic Insights into Photodynamic Regulation of Adenosine 5'-Triphosphate-Binding Cassette Drug Transporters.

Project description:Efforts to overcome cancer multidrug resistance through inhibition of the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) drug transporters ABCB1 and ABCG2 have largely failed in the clinic. The challenges faced during the development of non-toxic modulators suggest a need for a conceptual shift to new strategies for the inhibition of ABC drug transporters. Here, we reveal the fundamental mechanisms by which photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be exploited to manipulate the function and integrity of ABC drug transporters. PDT is a clinically relevant, photochemistry-based tool that involves the light activation of photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species. ATPase activity and in silico molecular docking analyses show that the photosensitizer benzoporphyrin derivative (BPD) binds to ABCB1 and ABCG2 with micromolar half-maximal inhibitory concentrations in the absence of light. Light activation of BPD generates singlet oxygen to further reduce the ATPase activity of ABCB1 and ABCG2 by up to 12-fold in an optical dose-dependent manner. Gel electrophoresis and Western blotting revealed that light-activated BPD induces the aggregation of these transporters by covalent cross-linking. We provide a proof of principle that PDT affects the function of ABCB1 and ABCG2 by modulating the ATPase activity and protein integrity of these transporters. Insights gained from this study concerning the photodynamic manipulation of ABC drug transporters could aid in the development and application of new optical tools to overcome the multidrug resistance that often develops after cancer chemotherapy.

Tantalum Sulfide Nanosheets as a Theranostic Nanoplatform for Computed Tomography Imaging-Guided Combinatorial Chemo-Photothermal Therapy.

Project description:Near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing metal-based nanomaterials have shown tremendous potential for cancer therapy, given their facile and controllable synthesis, efficient photothermal conversion, capability of spatiotemporal-controlled drug delivery, and intrinsic imaging function. Tantalum (Ta) is among the most biocompatible metals and arouses negligible adverse biological responses in either oxidized or reduced forms, and thus Ta-derived nanomaterials represent promising candidates for biomedical applications. However, Ta-based nanomaterials by themselves have not been explored for NIR-mediated photothermal ablation therapy. In this work, we report an innovative Ta-based multifunctional nanoplatform composed of biocompatible tantalum sulfide (TaS2) nanosheets (NSs) for simultaneous NIR hyperthermia, drug delivery, and computed tomography (CT) imaging. The TaS2 NSs exhibit multiple unique features including (i) efficient NIR light-to-heat conversion with a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 39%. (ii) high drug loading (177% by weight), (iii) controlled drug release triggered by NIR light and moderate acidic pH, (iv) high tumor accumulation via heat-enhanced tumor vascular permeability, (v) complete tumor ablation and negligible side effects, and (vi) comparable CT imaging contrast efficiency to the widely clinically used agent iobitridol. We expect that this multifunctional NS platform can serve as a promising candidate for imaging-guided cancer therapy and selection of cancer patients with high tumor accumulation.

Cu-Hemin Nanosheets and Indocyanine Green Co-Loaded Hydrogel for Photothermal Therapy and Amplified Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:Near-infrared (NIR) organic small molecule indocyanine green (ICG) could respond well to 808 nm laser to promote local high temperature and ROS generation for realizing photothermal therapy (PTT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, the high content of GSH in the tumor microenvironment (TME) limited the further therapeutic performance of ICG. Herein, injectable agarose in situ forming NIR-responsive hydrogels (CIH) incorporating Cu-Hemin and ICG were prepared for the first time. When CIH system was located to the tumor tissue through local injection, the ICG in the hydrogel could efficiently convert the light energy emitted by the 808 nm laser into thermal energy, resulting in the heating and softening of the hydrogel matrix, which releases the Cu-Hemin. Then, the over-expressed GSH in the TME could also down-regulated by Cu-Hemin, which amplified ICG-mediated PDT. In vivo experiments validated that ICG-based PDT/PTT and Cu-Hemin-mediated glutathione depletion could eliminate cancer tissues with admirable safety. This hydrogel-based GSH-depletion strategy is instructive to improve the objective response rate of PDT.

Natural Melanin-Based Nanoparticles With Combined Chemo/Photothermal/Photodynamic Effect Induce Immunogenic Cell Death (ICD) on Tumor.

Project description:Melanin, as a natural product, has been used as an extraordinary ingredient for nanomedicine due to its great biocompatibility and light responsive property. In this study, polydopamine (PDA), an analog of melanin, was extracted from dopamine and encapsulated with doxorubicin (DOX). The as-prepared nanoparticles (NPs) with good stability, great biosafety and high near infrared (NIR) responsive property ameliorated the cell uptake of DOX in OS-RC-2/ADR cells, exhibited synergistic chemo/photothermal (PTT)/photodynamic (PDT) effects, induced the release of damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and finally, led to immunogenic cell death (ICD). In general, it was suggested that PDA-DOX NPs with NIR irradiation could serve as a promising agent for tumor therapy.

PBPK modeling-based optimization of site-specific chemo-photodynamic therapy with far-red light-activatable paclitaxel prodrug.

Project description:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically approved therapeutic modality to treat certain types of cancers. However, incomplete ablation of tumor is a challenge. Visible and near IR-activatable prodrug, exhibiting the combined effects of PDT and local chemotherapy, showed better efficacy than PDT alone, without systemic side effects. Site-specifically released chemotherapeutic drugs killed cancer cells surviving from rapid PDT damage via bystander effects. Recently, we developed such a paclitaxel (PTX) prodrug that targets folate receptors. The goals of this study were to determine the optimal treatment conditions, based on modeling, for maximum antitumor efficacy in terms of drug-light interval (DLI), and to investigate the impact of rapid PDT effects on the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of the released PTX. PK profiles of the prodrug were determined in key organs and a quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) model was established to simulate PK profiles of the prodrug and the released PTX. Three illumination time points (DLI?=?0.5, 9, or 48?h) were selected for the treatment based on the plasma/tumor ratio of the prodrug to achieve V-PDT (vascular targeted-PDT, 0.5?h), C-PDT (cellular targeted-PDT, 48?h), or both V- and C-PDT (9?h). The anti-tumor efficacy of the PTX prodrug was greatly influenced by the DLI. The 9?h DLI group, when both tumor and plasma concentrations of the prodrug were sufficient, showed the best antitumor effect. The clearance of the released PTX from tumor seemed to be largely impacted by blood circulation. Here, QSP modeling was an invaluable tool for rational optimization of the treatment conditions and for a deeper mechanistic understanding of the positive physiological effect of the combination therapy.

Cuprous oxide-based nanocrystals with combined chemo/chemodynamic therapy to increase tumor drug sensitivity by reducing mitochondria-derived adenosine-triphosphate.

Project description:Gastrointestinal (GI) tumor is a serious disease with high mortality rates and morbidity rates worldwide. Chemotherapy is a key treatment for GI, however, systematic side effects and inevitable drug resistance complicate the situation. In the process of therapy, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) could remove chemotherapy drugs from cells, thus causing multi-drug resistance. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) utilizing Fenton chemistry has been used for cancer therapy, along with various combination therapies. The reactive oxygen species produced by CDT could inhibit P-gp's efflux pump function, which reduce chemoagents excretion and reverse drug resistance. In the present study, we developed novel nanocrystals (Cu2O@Pt NCs) to overcome drug resistance by reducing mitochondria-derived ATP through chemo/CDT in GI cancer. Furthermore, in vivo results in tumor-bearing mice demonstrated that treatment with Cu2O@Pt NCs with CDT and chemotherapy could achieve the most effective antitumor therapeutic effect with the least amounts of adverse effects. As a result, Cu2O@Pt NCs could provide a promising strategy for chemo/CDT-synergistic therapy.

Transition State Analysis of Adenosine Triphosphate Phosphoribosyltransferase.

Project description:Adenosine triphosphate phosphoribosyltransferase (ATP-PRT) catalyzes the first step in histidine biosynthesis, a pathway essential to microorganisms and a validated target for antimicrobial drug design. The ATP-PRT enzyme catalyzes the reversible substitution reaction between phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate and ATP. The enzyme exists in two structurally distinct forms, a short- and a long-form enzyme. These forms share a catalytic core dimer but bear completely different allosteric domains and thus distinct quaternary assemblies. Understanding enzymatic transition states can provide essential information on the reaction mechanisms and insight into how differences in domain structure influence the reaction chemistry, as well as providing a template for inhibitor design. In this study, the transition state structures for ATP-PRT enzymes from Campylobacter jejuni and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (long-form enzymes) and from Lactococcus lactis (short-form) were determined and compared. Intrinsic kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) were obtained at reaction sensitive positions for the reverse reaction using phosphonoacetic acid, an alternative substrate to the natural substrate pyrophosphate. The experimental KIEs demonstrated mechanistic similarities between the three enzymes and provided experimental boundaries for quantum chemical calculations to characterize the transition states. Predicted transition state structures support a dissociative reaction mechanism with a DN*AN‡ transition state. Weak interactions from the incoming nucleophile and a fully dissociated ATP adenine are predicted regardless of the difference in overall structure and quaternary assembly. These studies establish that despite significant differences in the quaternary assembly and regulatory machinery between ATP-PRT enzymes from different sources, the reaction chemistry and catalytic mechanism are conserved.

pH-Responsive Dual Drug-Loaded Nanocarriers Based on Poly (2-Ethyl-2-Oxazoline) Modified Black Phosphorus Nanosheets for Cancer Chemo/Photothermal Therapy.

Project description:Synergistic cancer therapy, such as those combining chemotherapeutic and photothermal methods, has stronger treatment effect than that of individual ones. However, it is challenging to efficiently deliver nanocarriers into tumor cells to elevate intracellular drug concentration. Herein, we developed an effective pH-responsive and dual drug co-delivery platform for combined chemo/photothermal therapy. An anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) was first loaded onto the surface of black phosphorus (BP). With poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOz) ligand conjugated onto the polydopamine (PDA) coated BP nanosheets, targeted long circulation and cellular uptake in vivo was significantly improved. With another anticancer drug bortezomib (BTZ) loaded onto the surface of the nanocapsule, the platform can co-deliver two different drugs. The surface charge of the nanocapsule was reversed from negative to positive at the tumor extracellular pH (∼6.8), ionizing the tertiary amide groups along the PEOz chain, thus facilitating the cell internalization of the nanocarrier. The cytotoxicity therapeutic effect of this nanoplatform was further augmented under near-infrared laser irradiation. As such, our DOX-loaded BP@PDA-PEOz-BTZ platform is very promising to synergistic cancer therapy.
