Recent progress of targeted nanocarriers in diagnostic, therapeutic, and theranostic applications in colorectal cancer. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 153:213556. [PMID: 37478770 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Cancer at the lower end of the digestive tract, colorectal cancer (CRC), starts with asymptomatic polyps, which can be diagnosed as cancer at a later stage. It is the fourth leading cause of malignancy-associated mortality worldwide. Despite progress in conventional treatment strategies, the possibility to overcome the mortality and morbidity issues with the enhancement of the lifespan of CRC patients is limited. With the advent of nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems, a promising revolution has been made in diagnosis, treatment, and theranostic purposes for cancer management. Herein, we reviewed the progress of miniaturized nanocarriers, such as liposomes, niosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, micelles, and polymeric nanoparticles, employed in passive and active targeting and their role in theranostic applications in CRC. With this novel scope, the diagnosis and treatment of CRC have proceeded to the forefront of innovation, where specific characteristics of the nanocarriers, such as processability, flexibility in developing precise architecture, improved circulation, site-specific delivery, and rapid response, facilitate the management of cancer patients. Furthermore, surface-engineered technologies for the nanocarriers could involve receptor-mediated deliveries towards the overexpressed receptors on the CRC microenvironment. Moreover, the potential of clinical translation of these targeted miniaturized formulations as well as the possible limitations and barriers that could impact this translation into clinical practice were highlighted. The advancement of these newest developments in clinical research and progress into the commercialization stage gives hope for a better tomorrow.

Abstract
The diseases caused by microorganisms are innumerable existing on this planet. Nevertheless, increasing antimicrobial resistance has become an urgent global challenge. Thus, in recent decades, bactericidal materials have been considered promising candidates to combat bacterial pathogens. Recently, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have been used as green and biodegradable materials in various promising alternative applications, especially in healthcare for antiviral or antiviral purposes. However, it lacks a systematic review of the recent application of this emerging material for antibacterial applications. Therefore, the ultimate goal of this review is to provide a critical review of the state of the art recent development of PHA biopolymers in terms of cutting-edge production technologies as well as promising application fields. In addition, special attention was given to collecting scientific information on antibacterial agents that can potentially be incorporated into PHA materials for biological and durable antimicrobial protection. Furthermore, the current research gaps are declared, and future research perspectives are proposed to better understand the properties of these biopolymers as well as their possible applications.

Abstract
The parameters used in the preparation of polymeric nanoparticles can influence its ability to photooxidate biomolecules. This work evaluated the effects of four parameter to prepare Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) nanoparticle loaded with aluminum and indium phthalocyanine (AlPc and InPc), together with iron oxide nanoparticles, assessing their influence on the size, the entrapment efficiency, and the nanoparticles recovery efficacy. The capability of free, and encapsulated, AlPc and InPc in photooxidating the bovine serum albumin (BSA) and tryptophan (Trp) was monitored by fluorescence. The AlPc-loaded nanoparticles had a larger size and a greater entrapment efficiency than that obtained by InPc-loaded nanoparticles. The free InPc was more efficient than the free AlPc to photooxidize the BSA and Trp; whereas the encapsulated AlPc was more efficient than encapsulated InPc to photooxidize the biomolecules. The higher hydrophobicity of the AlPc, combined with the greater aggregation state and the major interaction with the BSA, quenching the capacity of the free AlPc to photooxidate the biomolecules; whereas the greater interaction of the AlPc with PHB reduce the aggregation effect on the free molecules in the aqueous phase and increase the entrapment efficiency, resulting in an improving of the photodynamic efficiency and an increase of the photooxidation rate constant.

Antitumor bioactivity and gut microbiota modulation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) in a rat animal model for colorectal cancer. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 203:638-649.

Abstract
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a non-toxic polyhydroxyalkanoate polymer produced by several microorganisms, widely used as a biological substitute for plastics derived from fossil hydrocarbons. In this work, PHB polymer has been tested in an animal model for colorectal cancer. In the animal model, PHB has been able to reduce the number of polyps by 48,1%, and the tumoral extension area by 58,1%. Also, PHB induces a selective increase in beneficial gut bacterial taxons in this animal model, and a selective reduction in pro-inflammatory taxons, demonstrating its value as a nutraceutical compound. This antitumor effect is caused by gut production of 3-hydroxybutyrate and butyrate. In this animal model, 3-hydroxybutyrate is also observed in plasma and in brain tissue, after PHB consumption, making PHB supplementation interesting as a bioactive compound in other extraintestinal conditions, as 3-hydroxybutyrate has been reported to enhance brain and cognitive function, cardiac performance, appetite suppression and diabetes. Therefore, PHB could be postulated as an interesting non-polysaccharide antitumor prebiotic, paving the way towards its future use in functional foods.

Abstract
Biodegradable polyester nanomaterials-based drug delivery vehicles (DDVs) have been largely used in most of the cancer treatments due to its high biological performance and wider applications. In several previous studies, various biodegradable and biocompatible polyester backbones were used which are poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF), poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and poly(butylene succinate) (PBS). These polyesters were fabricated into therapeutic nanoparticles that carry drug molecules to the target site during the cancer disease treatment. In this review, we elaborately discussed the chemical synthesis of different synthetic polyesters and their use as nanodrug carriers (NCs) in cancer treatment. Further, we highlighted in brief the recent developments of metal-free semi-aromatic polyester nanomaterials along with its role as cancer drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biopolymers synthesized by bacteria under unbalanced growth conditions. These biopolymers are considered as potential biomaterials for future applications because they are biocompatible, biodegradable, and easy to produce and functionalize with strong mechanical strength. Currently, PHAs are being extensively innovated for biomedical applications due to their prerequisite properties. The wide range of biomedical applications includes drug delivery systems, implants, tissue engineering, scaffolds, artificial organ constructs, etc. In this article we review the utility of PHAs in various forms (bulk/nano) for biomedical applications so as to bring about the future vision for PHAs as biomaterials for the advancement of research and technology.

Abstract
Graphene is one of the ideal nanomaterials to be paired with silicon, and their complementary properties can be exploited in field emission (FE) devices. We reported an efficient way to produce and adjust the dimension of uniform protrusions within graphene. First, a multistep template replication process was utilized to fabricate highly periodic and well-aligned silicon nanowires (SiNWs) of different diameters (400, 500 and 600 nm). Then, large-scale and uniform graphene, fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), was transferred onto these size-controlled SiNWs to obtain the nanoscale and uniform undulations. As compared to the nanowires alone, the hybrid structures lead to higher FE performance due to electron conductivity enhancement, high-density emmison protrusions and band bending. These hybrid SiNWs/graphene structures could provide a promising class of field emission cathodes.
