Topically applied liposome-in-hydrogels for systematically targeted tumor photothermal therapy.

ABSTRACT: Transdermal drug delivery for local or systemic therapy provides a potential anticancer modality with a high patient compliance. However, the drug delivery efficiency across the skin is highly challenging due to the physiological barriers, which limit the desired therapeutic effects. In this study, we prepared liposome-in-hydrogels containing a tumor targeting photosensitizer IR780 (IR780/lipo/gels) for tumor photothermal therapy (PTT). The formulation effectively delivered IR780 to subcutaneous tumor and deep metastatic sites, while the hydrogels were applied on the skin overlying the tumor or on an area of distant normal skin. The photothermal antitumor activity of topically administered IR780/lipo/gels was evaluated following laser irradiation. We observed significant inhibition of the rate of the tumor growth without any toxicity associated with the topical administration of hydrogels. Collectively, the topical administration of IR780/lipo/gels represents a new noninvasive and safe strategy for targeted tumor PTT.

Development of theranostic dual-layered Au-liposome for effective tumor targeting and photothermal therapy.

Project description:BackgroundPhotothermal therapy (PTT) is an emerging anti-cancer therapeutic strategy that generates hyperthermia to ablate cancer cells under laser irradiation. Gold (Au) coated liposome (AL) was reported as an effective PTT agent with good biocompatibility and excretory property. However, exposed Au components on liposomes can cause instability in vivo and difficulty in further functionalization.ResultsHerein, we developed a theranostic dual-layered nanomaterial by adding liposomal layer to AL (LAL), followed by attaching polyethylene glycol (PEG) and radiolabeling. Functionalization with PEG improves the in vivo stability of LAL, and radioisotope labeling enables in vivo imaging of LAL. Functionalized LAL is stable in physiological conditions, and 64Cu labeled LAL (64Cu-LAL) shows a sufficient blood circulation property and an effective tumor targeting ability of 16.4%ID g-1 from in vivo positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Also, intravenously injected LAL shows higher tumor targeting, temperature elevation in vivo, and better PTT effect in orthotopic breast cancer mouse model compared to AL. The tumor growth inhibition rate of LAL was 3.9-fold higher than AL.ConclusionBased on these high stability, in vivo imaging ability, and tumor targeting efficiency, LAL could be a promising theranostic PTT agent.

Retina-Targeted Delivery of 17β-Estradiol by the Topically Applied DHED Prodrug.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to explore retina-targeted delivery of 17β-estradiol (E2), a powerful neuroprotectant, by its bioprecursor prodrug 10β,17β-dihydroxyestra-1,4-dien-3-one (DHED) administered as eye drops in animal models. Compared to the parent hormone, DHED displayed increased transcorneal flux ex vivo both with and without the presence of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin used as a penetration-enhancing excipient in rat, rabbit, and pig. In vitro, the prodrug also showed facile bioactivation to E2 in the retina but not in the cornea. After topical administration to rats and rabbits, peak DHED-derived E2 concentrations reached 13 ± 5 ng/g and 18 ± 7 ng/g in the retina of female rats and rabbits, respectively. However, the prodrug remained inert in the rest of the body and, therefore, did not cause increase in circulating hormone concentration, as well as wet uterine and anterior pituitary weights as typical markers of E2's endocrine impact. Altogether, our studies presented here have demonstrated the premise of topical retina-selective estrogen therapy by the DHED prodrug approach for the first time and provide compelling support for further investigation into the full potential of DHED for an efficacious and safe ocular neurotherapy.

Redox-sensitive doxorubicin liposome: a formulation approach for targeted tumor therapy.

Project description:In this study redox-sensitive (RS) liposomes manufactured using 10,10'-diselanediylbis decanoic acid (DDA), an organoselenium RS compound, to enhance the therapeutic performance of doxorubicin (Dox). The DDA structure was confirmed by 1H NMR and LC-MS/MS. Various liposomal formulations (33 formulations) were prepared using DOPE, Egg PC, and DOPC with Tm ˂ 0 and DDA. Some formulations had mPEG2000-DSPE and cholesterol. After extrusion, the external phase was exchanged with sodium bicarbonate to create a pH gradient. Then, Dox was remotely loaded into liposomes. The optimum formulations indicated a burst release of 30% in the presence of 0.1% hydrogen peroxide at pH 6.5, thanks to the redox-sensitive role of DDA moieties; conversely, Caelyx (PEGylated liposomal Dox) showed negligible release at this condition. RS liposomes consisting of DOPE/Egg PC/DDA at 37.5 /60/2.5% molar ratio, efficiently inhibited C26 tumors among other formulations. The release of Dox from RS liposomes in the TME through the DDA link fracture triggered by ROS or glutathione is seemingly the prerequisite for the formulations to exert their therapeutic action. These findings suggest the potential application of such intelligent formulations in the treatment of various malignancies where the TME redox feature could be exploited to achieve an improved therapeutic response.

Enhancing targeted tumor treatment by near IR light-activatable photodynamic-photothermal synergistic therapy.

Project description:For several decades, cancer has been one of the most life-threatening diseases. For enhancing anticancer efficiency with minimum side effects, combination therapy is envisioned. The current manuscript reports for the first time the development of a methylene blue (MB) bound nanoplatform, which is capable of delivering targeted diagnostic and combined synergistic photothermal and photodynamic treatment of cancer. Experimental data found that, once the nanoparticle binds with the target cell surface, it can detect LNCaP human prostate cancer cell selectively using fluorescence imaging. Our result shows that the therapeutic actions can be controlled with external NIR light. No cytotoxicity was observed in the absence of NIR light. Targeted photodynamic and photothermal treatment using 785 nm NIR light indicates that the multimodal treatment enhances the possibility of destroying LNCaP prostate cancer cells in vitro dramatically. We discuss the operating principle for the targeted imaging and possible mechanisms for combined therapeutic actions. Our experimental data show that NIR light activated combined therapy for cancer may become a highly effective treatment procedure in clinical settings.

Modeling the binding and diffusion of receptor-targeted nanoparticles topically applied on fresh tissue specimens.

Project description:Nanoparticle (NP) contrast agents targeted to cancer biomarkers are increasingly being engineered for the early detection of cancer, guidance of therapy, and monitoring of response. There have been recent efforts to topically apply biomarker-targeted NPs on tissue surfaces to image the expression of cell-surface receptors over large surface areas as a means of evaluating tumor margins to guide wide local excision surgeries. However, diffusion and nonspecific binding of the NPs present challenges for relating NP retention on the tissue surface with the expression of cancer cell receptors. Paired-agent methods that employ a secondary 'control' NP to account for these nonspecific effects can improve cancer detection. Yet these paired-agent methods introduce multidimensional complexity (with tissue staining, rinsing, imaging, and data analysis protocols all being subject to alteration), and could be greatly simplified with accurate, predictive in silico models of NP binding and diffusion. Here, we outline and validate such a model to predict the diffusion, as well as specific and nonspecific binding, of targeted and control NPs topically applied on tissue surfaces. In order to inform the model, in vitro experiments were performed to determine relevant NP diffusion and binding rate constants in tissues. The predictive capacity of the model was validated by comparing simulated distributions of various sizes of NPs in comparison with experimental results. The regression of predicted and experimentally measured concentration-depth profiles yielded??<15% error (compared to ~70% error obtained using a previous model of NP diffusion and binding).

Nanozyme Hydrogels for Self-Augmented Sonodynamic/Photothermal Combination Therapy.

Project description:Sonosensitizer-mediated sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has emerged as a promising anti-tumor strategy. However, this strategy of continuous oxygen consumption further exacerbates the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, which limits its therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we designed a multifunctional hydrogel (PB+Ce6@Hy) that simultaneously co-delivers nanozyme prussian blue (PB) and sonosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) for the realization of photothermal therapy (PTT) and enhanced SDT. When the hydrogel reaches the tumor tissue through local injection, the 808 nm laser can induce the hydrogel to warm up and soften, thereby triggering the release of PB and Ce6. PB can interact with endogenous H2O2 in situ and generate sufficient oxygen to promote the Ce6-mediated SDT effect. Besides, due to the good encapsulation ability of the hydrogel, the nanomaterials can be released in a controlled manner by changing laser parameter, irradiation time, etc. The experimental results show that the PB+Ce6@Hy system we developed can generate a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can be combined with the photothermal effect to kill tumor cells, as a result, tumor proliferation has been adequately inhibited. This combined PTT/SDT dynamic strategy provides a new perspective for Ce6-induced cancer therapy, showing great potential for clinical application.

Tumor-targeted/reduction-triggered composite multifunctional nanoparticles for breast cancer chemo-photothermal combinational therapy

Project description:Breast cancer has become the most commonly diagnosed cancer type in the world. A combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising strategy for breast cancer therapy. However, the intricacy of precise delivery and the ability to initiate drug release in specific tumor sites remains a challenging puzzle. Therefore, to ensure that the therapeutic agents are synchronously delivered to the tumor site for their synergistic effect, a multifunctional nanoparticle system (PCRHNs) is developed, which is grafted onto the prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) by reduction-responsive camptothecin (CPT) prodrug copolymer, and then modified with tumor-targeting peptide cyclo(Asp-d-Phe-Lys-Arg-Gly) (cRGD) and hyaluronic acid (HA). PCRHNs exhibited nano-sized structure with good monodispersity, high load efficiency of CPT, triggered CPT release in response to reduction environment, and excellent photothermal conversion under laser irradiation. Furthermore, PCRHNs can act as a photoacoustic imaging contrast agent-guided PTT. In vivo studies indicate that PCRHNs exhibited excellent biocompatibility, prolonged blood circulation, enhanced tumor accumulation, allow tumor-specific chemo-photothermal therapy to achieve synergistic antitumor effects with reduced systemic toxicity. Moreover, hyperthermia-induced upregulation of heat shock protein 70 in the tumor cells could be inhibited by CPT. Collectively, PCRHNs may be a promising therapeutic way for breast cancer therapy. Graphical abstract The reduction-responsive camptothecin prodrug copolymer and tumor targeting peptide (cRGD) are grafted onto prussian blue nanoparticles to obtain multifunctional nanoparticles (PCRHNs). PCRHNs realizes targeted delivery of therapeutic drugs and regulates cell behavior to enhance cancer chemotherapy and combinational photothermal therapy.Image 1

Aptamer-Targeted Plasmonic Photothermal Therapy of Cancer.

Project description:Novel nanoscale bioconjugates combining unique plasmonic photothermal properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with targeted delivery using cell-specific DNA aptamers have a tremendous potential for medical diagnostics and therapy of many cell-based diseases. In this study, we demonstrate the high anti-cancer activity of aptamer-conjugated, 37-nm spherical gold nanoparticles toward Ehrlich carcinoma in tumor-bearing mice after photothermal treatment. The synthetic anti-tumor aptamers bring the nanoparticles precisely to the desired cells and selectively eliminate cancer cells after the subsequent laser treatment. To prove tumor eradication, we used positron emission tomography (PET) utilizing radioactive glucose and computer tomography, followed by histological analysis of cancer tissue. Three injections of aptamer-conjugated AuNPs and 5 min of laser irradiations are enough to make the tumor undetectable by PET. Histological analysis proves PET results and shows lower damage of healthy tissue in addition to a higher treatment efficiency and selectivity of the gold nanoparticles functionalized with aptamers in comparison to control experiments using free unconjugated nanoparticles.

Graphene nanoribbon-based supramolecular ensembles with dual-receptor targeting function for targeted photothermal tumor therapy.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most malignant subtypes of breast cancer. Here, we report the construction of graphene nanoribbon (GNR)-based supramolecular ensembles with dual-receptor (mannose and αvβ3 integrin receptors) targeting function, denoted as GNR-Man/PRGD, for targeted photothermal treatment (PTT) of TNBC. The GNR-Man/PRGD ensembles were constructed through the solution-based self-assembly of mannose-grafted GNRs (GNR-Man) with a pyrene-tagged αvβ3 integrin ligand (PRGD). Enhanced PTT efficacies were achieved both in vitro and in vivo compared to that of the non-targeting equivalents. Tumor-bearing live mice were administered (tail vein) with GNR-Man/PRGD and then each mice group was subjected to PTT. Remarkably, GNR-Man/PRGD induced complete ablation of the solid tumors, and no tumor regrowth was observed over a period of 15 days. This study demonstrates a new and promising platform for the development of photothermal nanomaterials for targeted tumor therapy.
