2D antimonene-integrated composite nanomedicine for augmented low-temperature photonic tumor hyperthermia by reversing cell thermoresistance.

ABSTRACT: The overexpression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in tumor cells can activate inherent defense mechanisms during hyperthermia-based treatments, inducing thermoresistance and thus diminishing the treatment efficacy. Here, we report a distinct "non-inhibitor involvement" strategy to address this issue through engineering a calcium-based nanocatalyst (G/A@CaCO3-PEG). The constructed nanocatalyst consists of calcium carbonate (CaCO3)-supported glucose oxidase (GOD) and 2D antimonene quantum dots (AQDs), with further surface modification by lipid bilayers and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The engineered G/A@CaCO3-PEG nanocatalyst features prolonged blood circulation, which is stable at neutral pH but rapidly degrades under mildly acidic tumor microenvironment, resulting in rapid release of drug cargo in the tumor microenvironment. The integrated GOD effectively catalyzes the depletion of glucose for reducing the supplies of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and subsequent down-regulation of HSP expression. This effect then augments the therapeutic efficacy of photothermal hyperthermia induced by 2D AQDs upon irradiation with near-infrared light as assisted by reversing the cancer cells' thermoresistance. Consequently, synergistic antineoplastic effects can be achieved via low-temperature photothermal therapy. Systematic in vitro and in vivo evaluations have demonstrated that G/A@CaCO3-PEG nanocatalysts feature potent antitumor activity with a high tumor-inhibition rate (83.92%). This work thus paves an effective way for augmenting the hyperthermia-based tumor treatments via restriction of the ATP supply.

Two-Dimensional Antimonene-Based Photonic Nanomedicine for Cancer Theranostics.

Project description:Antimonene (AM) is a recently described two-dimensional (2D) elemental layered material. In this study, a novel photonic drug-delivery platform based on 2D PEGylated AM nanosheets (NSs) is developed. The platform's multiple advantages include: i) excellent photothermal properties, ii) high drug-loading capacity, iii) spatiotemporally controlled drug release triggered by near-infrared (NIR) light and moderate acidic pH, iv) superior accumulation at tumor sites, v) deep tumor penetration by both extrinsic stimuli (i.e., NIR light) and intrinsic stimuli (i.e., pH), vi) excellent multimodal-imaging properties, and vii) significant inhibition of tumor growth with no observable side effects and potential degradability, thus addressing several key limitations of cancer nanomedicines. The intracellular fate of the prepared NSs is also revealed for the first time, providing deep insights that improve cellular-level understanding of the nano-bio interactions of AM-based NSs and other emerging 2D nanomaterials. To the best of knowledge, this is the first report on 2D AM-based photonic drug-delivery platforms, possibly marking an exciting jumping-off point for research into the application of 2D AM nanomaterials in cancer theranostics.

Nanomedicine-Enabled Photonic Thermogaseous Cancer Therapy.

Project description:Local photothermal hyperthermia for tumor ablation and specific stimuliresponsive gas therapy feature the merits of remote operation, noninvasive intervention, and in situ tumor-specific activation in cancer-therapeutic biomedicine. Inspired by synergistic/sequential therapeutic modality, herein a novel therapeutic modality is reported based on the construction of two-dimensional (2D) core/shell-structured Nb2C-MSNs-SNO composite nanosheets for photonic thermogaseous therapy. A phototriggered thermogas-generating nanoreactor is designed via mesoporous silica layer coating on the surface of Nb2C MXene nanosheets, where the mesopores provide the reservoirs for NO donor (S-nitrosothiol (RSNO)), and the core of Nb2C produces heat shock upon second near-infrared biowindow (NIR-II) laser irradiation. The Nb2C-MSNs-SNO-enabled photonic thermogaseous therapy undergoes a sequential process of phototriggered heat production from the core of Nb2C and thermotriggered NO generation, together with photoacoustic-imaging (PAI) guidance and monitoring. The constructed Nb2C-MSNs-SNO nanoreactors exhibit high-NIR-induced photothermal effect, intense NIR-controlled NO release, and desirable PAI performance. Based on these unique theranostic properties of Nb2C-MSNs-SNO nanocomposites, sequential photonic thermogaseous therapy with limited systematic toxicity on efficiently suppressing tumor growth is achieved by PAI-guided NIR-controlled NO release as well as heat generation. Such a thermogaseous approach representes a stimuli-selective strategy for synergistic/sequential cancer treatment.

Ultrathin 2D Inorganic Ancient Pigment Decorated 3D-Printing Scaffold Enables Photonic Hyperthermia of Osteosarcoma in NIR-II Biowindow and Concurrently Augments Bone Regeneration.

Project description:Osteosarcoma (OS) is the primary malignant bone tumor. Despite therapeutic strategies including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy have been introduced into the war of fighting OS, the 5-year survival rate for patients still remains unchangeable for decades. Besides, the critical bone defects after surgery, drug-resistance and side effects also attenuate the therapeutic effects and predict poor prognosis. Recently, photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted extensive attention featuring minimal invasiveness and high spatial-temporal precision characteristics. Herein, an ultrathin 2D inorganic ancient pigment Egyptian blue decorated 3D-printing scaffold (CaPCu) with profound PTT efficacy at the second near-infrared (NIR-II) biowindow against OS and enhanced osteogenesis performance is successfully constructed. Importantly, this work uncovers the underlying biological mechanisms that genes associated with cell death, proliferation, and bone development are regulated by CaPCu-scaffold-based therapy. This work not only elucidates the fascinating clinical translation prospects of CaPCu-scaffold-based PTT against OS in NIR-II biowindow, but also demonstrates the potential mechanisms and offers a novel strategy to develop the next-generation, multifunctional tissue-engineering biomaterials.

Softness-Aided Mild Hyperthermia Boosts Stiff Nanomedicine by Regulating Tumor Mechanics.

Project description:Aberrant tumor mechanical microenvironment (TMME), featured with overactivated cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and excessive extracellular matrix (ECM), severely restricts penetration and accumulation of cancer nanomedicines, while mild-hyperthermia photothermal therapy (mild-PTT) has been developed to modulate TMME. However, photothermal agents also encounter the barriers established by TMME, manifesting in limited penetration and heterogeneous distribution across tumor tissues and ending with attenuated efficiency in TMME regulation. Herein, it is leveraged indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded soft nanogels with outstanding deformability, for efficient tumor penetration and uniform distribution, in combination with mild-PTT to achieve potent TMME regulation by inhibiting CAFs and degrading ECM. As a result, doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded stiff nanogels gain greater benefits in tumor penetration and antitumor efficacy than soft counterparts from softness-mediated mild-PTT. This study reveals the crucial role of nanomedicine mechanical properties in tumor distribution and provides a novel strategy for overcoming the barriers of solid tumors with soft deformable nanogels.

Hydralazine augmented ultrasound hyperthermia for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:This study investigates the use of hydralazine to enhance ultrasound hyperthermia for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by minimizing flow-mediated heat loss from the tumor. Murine HCC tumors were treated with a continuous mode ultrasound with or without an intravenous administration of hydralazine (5 mg/kg). Tumor blood flow and blood vessels were evaluated by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging and histology, respectively. Hydralazine markedly enhanced ultrasound hyperthermia through the disruption of tumor blood flow in HCC. Ultrasound treatment with hydralazine significantly reduced peak enhancement (PE), perfusion index (PI), and area under the curve (AUC) of the CEUS time-intensity curves by 91.9 ± 0.9%, 95.7 ± 0.7%, and 96.6 ± 0.5%, compared to 71.4 ± 1.9%, 84.7 ± 1.1%, and 85.6 ± 0.7% respectively without hydralazine. Tumor temperature measurements showed that the cumulative thermal dose delivered by ultrasound treatment with hydralazine (170.8 ± 11.8 min) was significantly higher than that without hydralazine (137.7 ± 10.7 min). Histological assessment of the ultrasound-treated tumors showed that hydralazine injection formed larger hemorrhagic pools and increased tumor vessel dilation consistent with CEUS observations illustrating the augmentation of hyperthermic effects by hydralazine. In conclusion, we demonstrated that ultrasound hyperthermia can be enhanced significantly by hydralazine in murine HCC tumors by modulating tumor blood flow. Future studies demonstrating the safety of the combined use of ultrasound and hydralazine would enable the clinical translation of the proposed technique.

A multifunctional 'golden cicada' nanoplatform breaks the thermoresistance barrier to launch cascade augmented synergistic effects of photothermal/gene therapy.

Project description:BackgroundPhotothermal therapy (PTT) is taken as a promising strategy for cancer therapy, however, its applicability is hampered by cellular thermoresistance of heat shock response and insufficient accumulation of photothermal transduction agents in the tumor region. In consideration of those limitations, a multifunctional "Golden Cicada" nanoplatform (MGCN) with efficient gene delivery ability and excellent photothermal effects is constructed, overcoming the thermoresistance of tumor cells and improving the accumulation of indocyanine green (ICG).ResultsDown-regulation of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) makes tumor cells more susceptible to PTT, and a better therapeutic effect is achieved through such cascade augmented synergistic effects. MGCN has attractive features with prolonged circulation in blood, dual-targeting capability of CD44 and sialic acid (SA) receptors, and agile responsiveness of enzyme achieving size and charge double-variable transformation. It proves that, on the one hand, MGCN performs excellent capability for HSP70-shRNA delivery, resulting in breaking the cellular thermoresistance mechanism, on the other hand, ICG enriches in tumor site specifically and possesses a great thermal property to promoted PTT.ConclusionsIn short, MGCN breaks the protective mechanism of cellular heat stress response by downregulating the expression of HSP70 proteins and significantly augments synergistic effects of photothermal/gene therapy via cascade augmented synergistic effects.

Excitons in 2D perovskites for ultrafast terahertz photonic devices.

Project description:In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites have emerged as promising candidates for environmentally stable solar cells, highly efficient light-emitting diodes, and resistive memory devices. The remarkable existence of self-assembled quantum well (QW) structures in solution-processed 2D perovskites offers a diverse range of optoelectronic properties, which remain largely unexplored. Here, we experimentally observe ultrafast relaxation of free carriers in 20 ps due to the quantum confinement of free carriers in a self-assembled QW structures that form excitons. Furthermore, hybridizing the 2D perovskites with metamaterials on a rigid and a flexible substrate enables modulation of terahertz fields at 50-GHz modulating speed, which is the fastest for a solution-processed semiconductor-based photonic device. Hence, an exciton-based ultrafast response of 2D perovskites opens up large avenues for a wide range of scalable dynamic photonic devices with potential applications in flexible photonics, ultrafast wavefront control, and short-range wireless terahertz communications.

2D Photonic Crystal Hydrogel Sensor for Tear Glucose Monitoring.

Project description:Photonic crystal (PC) materials have huge potentials as sensors for noninvasive and real-time monitoring glucose in tears. We developed a glucose-sensitive PC material based on monolayered colloidal crystals (MCCs). Polystyrene nanoparticles were first self-assembled into a highly ordered MCC, and this two-dimensional (2D) template was then coated by a 4-boronobenzaldehyde-functionalized poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel. Such a sensor efficiently diffracts visible light, whose structural color could change from red through yellow to green, as the glucose concentration altered from 0 to 20 mM, covering both tears' and bloods' physiological ranges. The sensor also represents a rapid response within 180 s at each titration of glucose, combining the characteristics of high accuracy and sensitivity in detecting the glucose concentration in tears, and this intelligent sensing material presents certain possibility for the frontier point-of-care glucose monitoring.

Temperature-Responsive, Multicolor-Changing Photonic Polymers.

Project description:A new principle is developed to fabricate temperature-responsive, multicolor photonic coatings that are capable of switching color. The coating is composed of a non-cross-linked liquid crystal siloxane-based elastomer that is interpenetrated through an acrylate-based liquid crystal network. Discrete temperature changes induce phase separation and mixing between the siloxane and the acrylate polymers and change the reflective colors correspondingly. The temperature-responsive color change of the coatings can be programmed by the processing conditions and coating formulation, which allows for the fabrication of photopatterned multicolor images. The photonic ink can be coated on flexible poly(ethylene terephthalate) films using roll-to-roll flexographic printing, making these temperature-responsive, multicolor-changing polymers appealing for applications such as responsive color decors, optical sensors, and anticounterfeit labels.

Magnetic carbon nanotubes for self-regulating temperature hyperthermia.

Project description:Magnetic hyperthermia can enhance the anti-tumor effects of chemotherapy. As carbon nanotubes are ideal drug carriers for chemotherapy, their combination with magnetic nanoparticles provides a novel chance for multi-modal thermo-chemotherapy. Most related work focuses on attaching Fe3O4 nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes, however the hyperthermia temperature for this combination can not be self-regulated due to the high Curie temperature of Fe3O4. In this work, magnetic Zn0.54Co0.46Cr0.6Fe1.4O4 nanoparticles with low Curie temperature were attached onto carbon nanotubes to obtain the magnetic carbon nanotubes. The morphology, formation mechanism, magnetic properties, heat generation ability and cytotoxicity of the magnetic carbon nanotubes were investigated. These magnetic carbon nanotubes show a Curie temperature of 43 °C and a self-regulating temperature at 42.7 °C under clinically applied magnetic field conditions (frequency: 100 kHz, intensity: 200 Oe). The evaluation of in vitro cytotoxicity suggests no obvious toxicity effects under the concentrations of 6.25 μg ml-1 to 100 μg ml-1. This study proposed a methodology for the bespoke synthesis of magnetic carbon nanotubes with a low Curie temperature for self-regulating magnetic hyperthermia, which may be used for further research on loading drugs for multi-modal cancer therapy.
