Although neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are slow growing, they are frequently metastatic at the time of discovery and no longer amenable to curative surgery, emphasizing the need for the development of other treatments. In this study, multifunctional upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)‐based theranostic micelles are developed for NET‐targeted and near‐infrared (NIR)‐controlled combination chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT), and bioimaging. The theranostic micelle is formed by individual UCNP functionalized with light‐sensitive amphiphilic block copolymers poly(4,5‐dimethoxy‐2‐nitrobenzyl methacrylate)‐polyethylene glycol (PNBMA‐PEG) and Rose Bengal (RB) photosensitizers. A hydrophobic anticancer drug, AB3, is loaded into the micelles. The NIR‐activated UCNPs emit multiple luminescence bands, including UV, 540 nm, and 650 nm. The UV peaks overlap with the absorption peak of photocleavable hydrophobic PNBMA segments, triggering a rapid drug release due to the NIR‐induced hydrophobic‐to‐hydrophilic transition of the micelle core and thus enabling NIR‐controlled chemotherapy. RB molecules are activated via luminescence resonance energy transfer to generate 1O2 for NIR‐induced PDT. Meanwhile, the 650 nm emission allows for efficient fluorescence imaging. KE108, a true pansomatostatin nonapeptide, as an NET‐targeting ligand, drastically increases the tumoral uptake of the micelles. Intravenously injected AB3‐loaded UCNP‐based micelles conjugated with RB and KE108—enabling NET‐targeted combination chemotherapy and PDT—induce the best antitumor efficacy.  相似文献

Theranostic nanoparticles that possess multiple diagnostic modalities and allow spatiotemporally controlled therapies can significantly improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce adverse effects. Here, an intelligent and biocompatible theranostic formulation is developed based on dendritic platinum–copper alloy nanoparticles (DPCN) for cancer therapy. DPCN have excellent photothermal effect, and can load anticancer drugs such as doxorubicin in their porous structure and release the loaded drugs in response to near infrared light or moderate acidic stimulus. They also inherently have multimodal imaging modalities. Upon the guidance of photoacoustic imaging, DPCN‐mediated photothermal treatment efficiently inhibits tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, doxorubicin‐loaded DPCN completely suppress the tumor growth even under a low treatment temperature, which avoids hypothermia‐induced damage to normal tissues. Our study develops an excellent theranostic nanoparticle with inherent multimodal imaging and therapeutic modalities for chemophotothermal cancer therapy.  相似文献

Near infrared (NIR) light‐activated supersensitive drug release via photothermal conversion is of particular interest due to its advantages in spatial and temporal control. However, such supersensitive drug release is rarely reported for polymeric nanoparticles. In this study, polymeric nanoparticles observed with flowable core can achieve NIR‐activated supersensitive drug release under the assistance of photothermal agent. It is demonstrated that only 5 s NIR irradiation (808 nm, 0.3 W cm?2) leads to 17.8% of doxorubicin (DOX) release, while its release is almost completely stopped when the NIR laser is switched off. In contrast, the control, poly(d ,l ‐lactide) nanoparticles with rigid cores, do not exhibit such supersensitive effect. It is demonstrated that intraparticle temperature is notably increased during photothermal conversion by detecting fluorescein lifetime using a time‐correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) technique, which is the main driving force for such supersensitive drug release from hydrophobic flow core. In contrast, rigid chain of nanoparticular core hinders drug diffusion. Furthermore, such NIR light‐activated supersensitive drug release is demonstrated, which significantly enhances its anticancer efficacy, resulting in overcoming of the resistance of cancer cells against DOX treatment in vitro and in vivo. This simple and highly universal strategy provides a new approach to fabricate NIR light‐activated supersensitive drug delivery systems.  相似文献

Multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles are developed in order to deliver anticancer drugs to specific cancer cells in a targeted and controlled manner. The nanoparticle surface is functionalized with amino‐β‐cyclodextrin rings bridged by cleavable disulfide bonds, blocking drugs inside the mesopores of the nanoparticles. Poly(ethylene glycol) polymers, functionalized with an adamantane unit at one end and a folate unit at the other end, are immobilized onto the nanoparticle surface through strong β‐cyclodextrin/adamantane complexation. The non‐cytotoxic nanoparticles containing the folate targeting units are efficiently trapped by folate‐receptor‐rich HeLa cancer cells through receptormmediated endocytosis, while folate‐receptor‐poor human embryonic kidney 293 normal cells show much lower endocytosis towards nanoparticles under the same conditions. The nanoparticles endocytosed by the cancer cells can release loaded doxorubicin into the cells triggered by acidic endosomal pH. After the nanoparticles escape from the endosome and enter into the cytoplasm of cancer cells, the high concentration of glutathione in the cytoplasm can lead to the removal of the β‐cyclodextrin capping rings by cleaving the pre‐installed disulfide bonds, further promoting the release of doxorubicin from the drug carriers. The high drug‐delivery efficacy of the multifunctional nanoparticles is attributed to the co‐operative effects of folate‐mediated targeting and stimuli‐triggered drug release. The present delivery system capable of delivering drugs in a targeted and controlled manner provides a novel platform for the next generation of therapeutics.  相似文献

Monitoring of in vivo drug release from nanotheranostics by noninvasive approaches remains very challenging. Herein, novel redox‐responsive polymeric magnetosomes (PolyMags) with tunable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) properties are reported for in vivo drug release monitoring and effective dual‐modal cancer therapy. The encapsulation of doxorubicin (DOX) significantly decreases PolyMags' T2‐contrast enhancement and transverse relaxation rate R2, depending on the drug loading level. The T2 enhancement and R2 can be recovered once the drug is released upon PolyMags' disassembly. T2‐ and T2*‐MRI and diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) are utilized to quantitatively study the correlation between MRI signal changes and drug release, and discover the MR tuning mechanisms. The in vivo drug release pattern is visualized based on such tunable MRI capability via monitoring the changes in T2‐weighted images, T2 and T2* maps, and R2 and R2* values. Interestingly, the PolyMags possess excellent photothermal effect, which can be further enhanced upon DOX loading. The PolyMags are highly efficacious to treat breast tumors on xenograft model with tumor‐targeted photothermal‐ and chemotherapy, achieving a complete cure rate of 66.7%. The concept reported here is generally applicable to other micellar and liposomal systems for image‐guided drug delivery and release applications toward precision cancer therapy.  相似文献

The high locoregional breast cancer recurrence rate poses a significant risk for patients' survival. Injecting theranostic drugs‐laden soft tissue‐like hydrogels into the resected breast cavity is a promising strategy to achieve both precisely local therapy of breast cancer and reconstructive mammoplasty. In this work, a robust injectable thermoresponsive supramolecular poly(N‐acryloyl glycinamide‐co‐acrylamide) (PNAm) hydrogel bearing polydopamine (PDA) coated‐gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and doxorubicin (DOX) is fabricated. The supramolecular polymer nanocomposite (SPN) hydrogels exhibit an excellent photothermal effect arising from PDA‐AuNPs that are tightly fixed to the hydrogel matrix via PDA and amide moieties in the network, built‐in near infrared (NIR) light‐triggered gel–sol transition as well as tunable drug delivery. The PNAm‐PDAAu‐DOX sol driven by prior heating is injected into the cavity of resected cancerous breasts of rats where gelation occurred rapidly while the temperature decreased to body temperature, thereby finely serving as a breast filler. During 4 week of implantation, interval NIR light irradiation can mediate photothermal effect and concertedly controllable DOX release, thus collectively preventing the recurrence of breast cancer. Remarkably, this stable remoldable SPN hydrogel facilitates the breast reconstruction and can be tracked by computed tomography (CT) imaging owing to the intrinsic X‐ray attenuation property of the loaded AuNPs.  相似文献

Triggerable devices capable of on‐demand, controlled release of therapeutics are attractive options for the treatment of local diseases because of their potential to enhance therapeutic effectiveness with reduced systemic toxicity. Here, the design and fabrication of a miniaturized device, termed a microspouter, is described. This device is shown to provide active and precise control of localized delivery of drugs on demand. The microspouter is composed of a magnetic sponge to provide the force for drug release through magnetic field‐induced reversible deformation, a reservoir for the sponge installation and drug loading, and a soft membrane for sealing the device. Following application of a magnetic field to the microspouter, the shrinking of the sponge may trigger a spouting of drug through a membrane's microaperture. The efficiency of the device in controlling the dose and time course of drug release under different external magnetic fields has been demonstrated using methylene blue and docetaxel as model drugs. Additionally, the microspouter is found to have low background drug leakage that allows for tunable drug release in an ex vivo implantation experiment. All the results confirm the microspouter as a potential device for safe, long‐time, and controlled drug release in local disease treatment.  相似文献

The efficient and specific delivery of nanoparticles (NPs) to brain tumors is crucial for successful glioma treatment. Heparin‐based polymers decorated with two peptides self‐assemble into multi‐functional NPs that specifically target glioma cells. These NPs re‐self‐assemble to a smaller size in blood, which is beneficial for in‐vivo brain drug delivery. The hydrodynamic size of one type of these NPs is 63 ± 11 nm under blood‐mimic conditions (10% fetal bovine serum), but it is 164 ± 16 nm in water. Additionally their zeta potential is more neutral in the blood‐mimic conditions. Transmission electron microscopy reveals the morphology of the spherical NPs. In vitro experiments demonstrate that the NPs exhibit a high cellular uptake and the ability to efficiently discourage proliferation, endothelial‐lined vessels, and vasculogenic mimicry. In vivo studies demonstrate that the NPs can by‐pass the normal blood–brain and blood–(brain tumor) barriers and specifically accumulate in glioma tissues; moreover, they present an excellent anti‐glioma effect in subcutaneous/intracranial glioma‐bearing mice. Their superiority is due to their appropriate size in blood and the synergic effect arising from their targeting of two different receptors. The data suggests that these NPs are ideal for anti‐glioma therapy.  相似文献

Drug leakage in blood circulation is generally a serious concern to polymersomes when loading water‐soluble chemotherapeutics. If packing density of polymersome membrane is strengthened, premature drug release will be inhibited. Therefore, synthesis of a series of amphiphilic polyphosphazenes (PNPs) with 2‐diethylaminoethyl 4‐aminobenzoate (DEAB) as hydrophobic side groups and amino‐terminal poly(ethylene glycol) (NH2‐PEG2000) as hydrophilic chains is presented. By controlling the ratio of DEAB to NH2‐PEG2000, the optimal PNP‐3 is screened to ensure polymersome formation and high loading of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl). In situ generation method is initially employed to introduce gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) into vesicles' lamella, which can homogeneously distribute among DEAB sides via coordination interaction and act as inorganic cross‐linkers to aggregate polymer chains. Drug leakage of resultant AuNP hybrid PNP‐3 polymersome (IAuPNP‐3) at pH 7.4 is effectively alleviated and the systemic circulation time of DOX·HCl in mice is obviously prolonged. Besides, pH‐responsive drug release, due to the protonation of tertiary amine in DEAB, contributes to fast intracellular action. Based on the cooperation of these functions, DOX·HCl‐loaded IAuPNP‐3 finally achieves the highest in vivo antitumor efficacy compared with free DOX·HCl, drug‐loaded PNP, or EAuPNP prepared by prepreparation AuNPs method.  相似文献

Nanodrug delivery systems (NDDSs) for the treatment of periodontitis remain a significant clinical challenge. The low biocompatibility, singular effect, and lack of disease specificity of conventional nanoparticles limit their biomedical application. Recent studies have highlighted the pivotal role of cell membrane-coated nanotechnology in anti-inflammatory strategies due to its improved biocompatibility and superior biointerface properties. Herein, combined with the pathological heterogeneity of periodontitis revealed by bioinformatics analysis, this study develops a novel cell membrane-coated nanoparticle composed of two elements: minocycline-loaded polydopamine nanoparticles (PM) and cRGD-modified cell membrane (RCM). The in vitro results indicate that PM@RCM rescues impaired human periodontal ligament stem cells through antioxidant, anti-ferroptosis, anti-inflammatory, and pro-osteogenic effects, and exhibits favorable antibacterial bioactivity. The in vivo studies further reveal that PM@RCM promotes periodontal tissue regeneration and remodeled periodontal homeostasis in periodontitis mice. Collectively, these findings highlight the unique pathological changes in periodontitis. Moreover, the novel NDDS developed in this study, which leverages the excellent natural properties of cell membrane-coated nanotechnology and the versatility of nanoparticle cores, provides a promising strategy for the clinical treatment of periodontitis.  相似文献

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have emerged as promising biomaterials for drug delivery and cell tracking applications, for which MRI is the medical imaging modality of choice. In this contribution, MRI contrast agents (DTPA‐Gd) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) are grafted selectively at the surface of MSNs, in order to achieve optimal relaxometric and drug loading performances. In fact, DTPA and PEG grafting procedures reported until now, have resulted in significant pore obstruction, which is detrimental to the drug delivery function of MSNs. This usually induces a dramatic decrease in surface area and pore volume, thus limiting drug loading capacity. Therefore, these molecules must be selectively grafted at the outer surface of MSNs. In this study, 3D pore network MSNs (MCM‐48‐type) are synthesized and functionalized with a straightforward and efficient grafting procedure in which DTPA and PEG are selectively grafted at the outer surface of MSNs. No pore blocking is observed, and more than 90% of surface area, pore volume and pore diameter are retained. The thus‐treated particles are colloidally stable in SBF and cell culture media, they are not cytotoxic and they have high drug loading capacity. Upon labeling with Gd, the nanoparticle suspensions have strong relaxometric properties (r2/r1 = 1.47, r1 = 23.97 mM?1 s?1), which confers a remarkable positive contrast enhancement potential to the compound. The particles could serve as efficient drug carriers, as demonstrated with a model of daunorubicin submitted to physiological conditions. The selective nanoparticle surface grafting procedures described in the present article represent a significant advance in the design of high colloidal stability silica‐based vectors with high drug loading capacity, which could provide novel theranostic nanocompounds.  相似文献

Engineering multifunctional nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery shows promising potentials to revolutionize the cancer chemotherapy. Simple methods to optimize physicochemical characteristics and surface composition of the drug nanocarriers need to be developed in order to tackle major challenges for smooth translation of suitable nanocarriers to clinical applications. Here, rational development and utilization of multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) for targeting MDA‐MB‐231 xenograft model breast cancer in vivo are reported. Uniform and redispersible poly(ethylene glycol)‐incorporated MSNPs with three different sizes (48, 72, 100 nm) are synthesized. They are then functionalized with amino‐β‐cyclodextrin bridged by cleavable disulfide bonds, where amino‐β‐cyclodextrin blocks drugs inside the mesopores. The incorporation of active folate targeting ligand onto 48 nm of multifunctional MSNPs (PEG‐MSNPs48‐CD‐PEG‐FA) leads to improved and selective uptake of the nanoparticles into tumor. Targeted drug delivery capability of PEG‐MSNPs48‐CD‐PEG‐FA is demonstrated by significant inhibition of the tumor growth in mice treated with doxorubicin‐loaded nanoparticles, where doxorubicin is released triggered by intracellular acidic pH and glutathione. Doxorubicin‐loaded PEG‐MSNPs48‐CD‐PEG‐FA exhibits better in vivo therapeutic efficacy as compared with free doxorubicin and non‐targeted nanoparticles. Current study presents successful utilization of multifunctional MSNP‐based drug nanocarriers for targeted cancer therapy in vivo.  相似文献

Combination chemotherapy administering multiple chemo agents is widely exploited for the treatment of various cancers in the clinic. Specially for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most common malignancies, a coadministration of combinational cytostatic multikinase inhibitors and cytotoxic chemo agents has been suggested as a potential curative approach. Here, Janus microcarriers are developed for the controlled local combination chemotherapy of HCC. The Janus microcarriers are composed of a polycaprolactone (PCL) compartment and a magnetic nanoparticle‐loaded poly(lactide‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) compartment which contains hydrophobic regorafenib and hydrophilic doxorubicin, respectively. Exploiting the magnetic anisotropy, rotational motion of the Janus microcarriers is controlled with a magnetic field, which enables the active corelease of dual chemo agents. Furthermore, Janus microcarriers exhibit magnetic resonance (MR) contrast effect, supporting the successful transcatheter intra‐arterial delivery of the combination chemo agents loaded in the microcarriers to the targeted tumor. This Janus microcarrier potentially serves as a general combinational chemotherapeutic platform for the codelivery of various combinations of multichemo agents.  相似文献

Cell membrane coating nanotechnology, which endows nanoparticles with unique properties, displays excellent translational potential in cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, the preparation and evaluation of these cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles are based on cell lines and cell‐line‐based xenograft mouse models. The feasibility of cell membrane‐camouflaged nanomaterials is tested in a preclinical setting. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patient‐derived tumor cell (PDTC) membranes are coated onto gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) and the resulting PDTC@GNPs show efficient targeting to homotypic tumor cells and tissues in patient‐derived xenograft (PDX) models. When the donor‐derived cell membrane of PDTC@GNPs matched those of the host cells, significant targeting capability is observed. In contrast, mismatch between the donor and host results in weak targeting. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that autologous separation and administration of cellular membranes and anticancer cisplatin (Pt)‐loaded PDTC@GNPs, respectively, lead to almost complete tumor ablation in a subcutaneous model and effectively inhibit tumor recurrence in a postsurgery model. The work presented here reinforces the translation of these biomimetic nanoparticles for clinical applications and offers a simple, safe, and effective strategy for personalized cancer treatment.  相似文献

Efficient and safe drug delivery across the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) remains one of the major challenges of biomedical and (nano‐) pharmaceutical research. Here, it is demonstrated that poly(butyl cyanoacrylate)‐based microbubbles (MB), carrying ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles within their shell, can be used to mediate and monitor BBB permeation. Upon exposure to transcranial ultrasound pulses, USPIO‐MB are destroyed, resulting in acoustic forces inducing vessel permeability. At the same time, USPIO are released from the MB shell, they extravasate across the permeabilized BBB and they accumulate in extravascular brain tissue, thereby providing non‐invasive R 2*‐based magnetic resonance imaging information on the extent of BBB opening. Quantitative changes in R 2* relaxometry are in good agreement with 2D and 3D microscopy results on the extravascular deposition of the macromolecular model drug fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)‐dextran into the brain. Such theranostic materials and methods are considered to be useful for mediating and monitoring drug delivery across the BBB and for enabling safe and efficient treatment of CNS disorders.  相似文献

Time‐staggered combination chemotherapy strategies show immense potential in cell culture systems, but fail to successfully translate clinically due to different routes of administration and disparate formulation parameters that preclude a specific order of drug presentation. A novel platform consisting of drug‐containing PLGA polymer nanoparticles, stably fashioned with a shell composed of drug complexed with cationic cyclodextrin, capable of releasing drugs time‐ and sequence‐specifically within tumors is designed. Morphological examination of nanoparticles measuring 150 nm highlight stable and distinct compartmentalization of model drugs, rhodamine and bodipy, within the core and shell, respectively. Sequential release is observed in vitro, owing to cyclodextrin shell displacement and subsequent sustained release of core‐loaded drug, kinetics preserved in breast cancer cells following internalization. Importantly, time‐staggered release is corroborated in a murine breast cancer model following intravenous administration. Precise control of drug release order, site‐specifically, potentially opens novel avenues in polychemotherapy for synergy and chemosensitization strategies.  相似文献
