Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127020. [PMID: 37741484 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/25/2023]
Abstract
For the drug delivery system, drug carriers' selection is critical to the drug's success in reaching the desired target. Drug carriers from natural biopolymers are preferred over synthetic materials due to their biocompatibility. The use of polysaccharide gums in the drug delivery system has received considerable attention in recent years. Polysaccharide gums are renewable resources and abundantly found in nature. They could be isolated from marine algae, microorganisms, and higher plants. In terms of carbohydrates, the gums are water-soluble, non-starch polysaccharides with high commercial value. Polysaccharide gums are widely used for controlled-release products, capsules, medicinal binders, wound healing agents, capsules, and tablet excipients. One of the essential applications of polysaccharide gum is drug delivery systems. The various kinds of polysaccharide gums obtained from different plants, marine algae, and microorganisms for the drug delivery system application are discussed comprehensively in this review paper.

Abstract
A copper selenide-embedded gellan gum hydrogel (Cu2-xSe@GG) is designed as an "all-in-one" antitumor agent. The obtained nanocomposite hydrogel exhibits strong near-infrared light absorption and high photothermal conversion efficiency in both the NIR-I and NIR-II biowindows. The photothermal conversion efficiency achieves 58.8% under the irradiation of 0.75 W/cm2 with a 1064 nm laser. Furthermore, the nanocomposite hydrogel has catalase- and peroxidase-mimicking activities, which could alter the tumor microenvironment by reducing hypoxia and/or increasing the production of reactive oxygen species. Moreover, the multifunctional Cu2-xSe@GG nanocomposite hydrogel can also be used as an immune agonist resiquimod (R848) carrier to promote immune regulation and enhance the therapeutic effect. The single-syringe R848/Cu2-xSe@GG treatment achieves synergetic photothermal immunotherapy, showing 97.4% of tumor regression rate from an initial large tumor of 300 mm3.

Abstract
Progress in the nanotechnology field has led to the development of a new class of materials capable of producing a temperature increase triggered by near infrared light. These photothermal nanostructures have been extensively explored in the ablation of cancer cells. Nevertheless, the available data in the literature have exposed that systemically administered nanomaterials have a poor tumor-homing capacity, hindering their full therapeutic potential. This paradigm shift has propelled the development of new injectable hydrogels for the local delivery of nanomaterials aimed at cancer photothermal therapy. These hydrogels can be assembled at the tumor site after injection (in situ forming) or can undergo a gel-sol-gel transition during injection (shear-thinning/self-healing). Besides incorporating photothermal nanostructures, these injectable hydrogels can also incorporate or be combined with other agents, paving the way for an improved therapeutic outcome. This review analyses the application of injectable hydrogels for the local delivery of nanomaterials aimed at cancer photothermal therapy as well as their combination with photodynamic-, chemo-, immuno- and radio-therapies.

Abstract
Phototherapeutic agent-based phototherapies activated by light have proven to be safe modalities for the treatment of various malignant tumor indications. The two main modalities of phototherapies include photothermal therapy, which causes localized thermal damage to target lesions, and photodynamic therapy, which causes localized chemical damage by generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). Conventional phototherapies suffer a major shortcoming in their clinical application due to their phototoxicity, which primarily arises from the uncontrolled distribution of phototherapeutic agents in vivo. For successful antitumor phototherapy, it is essential to ensure the generation of heat or ROS specifically occurs at the tumor site. To minimize the reverse side effects of phototherapy while improving its therapeutic performance, extensive research has focused on developing hydrogel-based phototherapy for tumor treatment. The utilization of hydrogels as drug carriers allows for the sustained delivery of phototherapeutic agents to tumor sites, thereby limiting their adverse effects. Herein, we summarize the recent advancements in the design of hydrogels for antitumor phototherapy, offer a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in hydrogel-based phototherapy and its combination with other therapeutic modalities for tumor treatment, and discuss the current clinical status of hydrogel-based antitumor phototherapy.

Abstract
Novel highly hydrophilic and biocompatible bismuth nanospheres with gold nanoparticles growing outside (Bi@Au nano-acanthospheres, Bi@Au NASs) were synthesized through a simple procedure, which demonstrated to be a promising photothermal agent owing to the ultrahigh photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 46.6 %). The as-prepared Bi@Au NASs showed excellent blood compatibility and fairly low cytotoxicity to human lung cancer A549 cells, as well as efficient photothermal ablation (PTA) therapy induced by a near-infrared laser. Under the 808 nm laser radiation, the tumour temperature could be elevated by ∼25 °C high enough to kill the cancer cells. Moreover, the anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was successfully loaded in Bi@Au NASs with a loading content as high as 16.78 % and released under a pH sensitive release profile, a characteristic beneficial for intravenous delivery of DOX into cancer cells for chemotherapy. The presence of the Bi element enabled Bi@Au NASs to act as a favourable computed tomography (CT) contrast medium for CT imaging-guided tumour treatment. Compared with cancer treatment through either photothermal therapy or chemotherapy, the chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy using Bi@Au NASs as both a photothermal agent and a drug carrier has efficiently enhanced the in vitro and in vivo therapeutic effects in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex disease associated with a combination of abnormal physiological process and exhibiting dysfunctions in multiple systems. To provide effective treatment and diagnosis for cancer, current treatment strategies simultaneously focus on various tumor targets. Based on the rapid development of nanotechnology, nanocarriers have been shown to exhibit excellent potential for cancer therapy. Compared with nanoparticles with single functions, multifunctional nanoparticles are believed to be more aggressive and potent in the context of tumor targeting. However, the development of multifunctional nanoparticles is not simply an upgraded version of the original function, but involves a sophisticated system with a proper backbone, optimized modification sites, simple preparation method, and efficient function integration. Despite this, many well-designed multifunctional nanoparticles with promising therapeutic potential have emerged recently. Here, to give a detailed understanding and analyzation of the currently developed multifunctional nanoparticles, their platform structures with organic or inorganic backbones were systemically generalized. We emphasized on the functionalization and modification strategies, which provide additional functions to the nanoparticle. We also discussed the application combination strategies that were involved in the development of nanoformulations with functional crosstalk. This review thus provides an overview of the construction strategies and application advances of multifunctional nanoparticles.

Abstract
In the past decades, diseases such as wound infection, cancer, bone defect and osteoarthritis have constantly threatened the public health. However, the traditional treatment has many insufficiencies, such as high cost, easy recurrence and high biological toxicity. Hydrogel is a material with three-dimensional network structure, which has a series of advantages, such as injectability, self-heal ability, easy loading and controllability of drug release, and excellent biocompatibility. Therefore, it is extensively used in drug delivery, antibacterial, anti-cancer and other fields. However, the traditional hydrogels have the single performance, and therapeutic efficacy is often rely on the drugs loaded on them to cure diseases, which cannot achieve sustainable therapeutic effect. In order to solve this problem, photothermal nano hydrogel with photothermal agent (PTA) has become an ideal material due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Photothermal nano hydrogels used in photothermal therapy (PTT) can exploit the photothermal effect of photothermal agent to increase local temperature and control the sol-gel phase transition behavior of hydrogels, so they are widely used in drug release, photothermal sterilization, photothermal inhibition of cancer cells and enhancement of bone repair. To sum up, this paper introduces the preparation of hydrogels with photothermal nanomaterials, and discusses their applications in the fields of drug release, photothermal sterilization, photothermal cancer cell inhibition and enhanced bone repair.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer has become an urgent threat to global female healthcare. Cisplatin, as the traditional chemotherapeutic agent against ovarian cancer, retains several limitations, such as drug resistance and dose-limiting toxicity. In order to solve the above problems and promote the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy, combining chemotherapy and phototherapy has aroused wide interest. In this study, we constructed a versatile cisplatin prodrug-conjugated therapeutic platform based on ultrasmall CuS-modified Fe(III)-metal-organic frameworks (MIL-88) (named M-Pt/PEG-CuS) for tumor-specific enhanced synergistic chemo-/phototherapy. After intravenous injection, M-Pt/PEG-CuS presented obvious accumulation in tumor and Fe(III)-MOFs possessed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to guide synergy therapy. Both in vitro and in vivo experimental results showed that M-Pt/PEG-CuS could not only successfully inhibit tumor growth by combining chemotherapy and NIR-II PTT but also avoid the generation of liver damage by the direct treatment of cisplatin(II). Our work presented the development of the nanoplatform as a novel NIR-II photothermal agent, as well as gave a unique combined chemo-photothermal therapy strategy, which might provide new ways of ovarian cancer therapy for clinical translation.

A Fe(III)-porphyrin-oxaliplatin(IV) nanoplatform for enhanced ferroptosis and combined therapy. J Control Release 2022; 348:660-671. [PMID: 35716884 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2022.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Since there are several limitations in cancer treatment for traditional chemotherapy, such as side effects, poor prognosis and drug resistance, developing new combined therapy is urgently needed. In this work, a biocompatible, simple and tumor microenvironment-responsive nanotheranostics (PCN-Oxpt/PEG) was built to favor the chemotherapy/ferroptosis/immunomodulation synergism in cancer. This nanotheranostics is constructed by modifying oxaliplatin prodrug and PEG on Fe(III) - porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (PCN(Fe) MOFs). After intravenous injection, the cloak of PEG leads to long circulation, and the Fe(III)-porphyrin MOFs enables dual-model guidance with fluorescence (FL) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Inside the tumor, the intracellular H2O2 would be transferred into hydroxyl radicals (•OH) by iron ions released from MOFs, which could trigger the lethal ferroptosis to cancer cells. Meanwhile, oxaliplatin(II) transformed from the loaded oxaliplatin prodrug would result in the chemotherapy, as well as immunogenic cell death (ICD), and the prodrug strategy could also avoid the occurring of liver damage by the direct administration of oxaliplatin(II). It was noticed that the ferroptosis effect was enhanced by triple-assistance during the combined therapy, as followed: (1) glutathione (GSH) would be consumed in the process of oxaliplatin(II) generation from oxaliplatin prodrug; (2) the increased CD8+ T cells induced by ICD were able to produce interferon-γ (IFN-γ), which could inhibit the transport of cystine by tumor cells, and impair the activation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4); (3) the amount of H2O2 could be increased by the internalized oxaliplatin and thus further promote the Fenton reaction and ferroptosis. Both in vivo and in vitro results revealed that tumor growing was significantly inhibited by PCN-Oxpt/PEG, taken together, the concomitant of oxaliplatin-mediated chemotherapy and ICD with triple-enhanced ferroptosis offer great prospect in the clinical treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Designing novel systems for efficient cancer treatment and improving the quality of life for patients is a prime requirement in the healthcare sector. In this regard, theranostics have recently emerged as a unique platform, which combines the benefits of both diagnosis and therapeutics delivery. Theranostics have the desired contrast agent and the drugs combined in a single carrier, thus providing the opportunity for real-time imaging to monitor the therapy results. This helps in reducing the hazards related to treatment overdose or underdose and gives the possibility of personalized therapy. Polysaccharides, as natural biomolecules, have been widely explored to develop theranostics, as they act as a matrix for simultaneously loading both contrast agents and drugs for their utility in drug delivery and imaging. Additionally, their remarkable physicochemical attributes (biodegradability, satisfactory safety profile, abundance, and diversity in functionality and charge) can be tuned via postmodification, which offers numerous possibilities to develop theranostics with desired characteristics. Hence, we provide an overview of recent advances in polysaccharide matrix-based theranostics for drug delivery combined with magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, and ultrasound imaging. Herein, we also summarize the toxicity assessment of polysaccharides, associated contrast agents, and nanotoxicity along with the challenges and future research directions.

Abstract
AbstractSurgical resection is a widely used method for the treatment of solid tumor cancers. However, the inhibition of tumor recurrence and metastasis are the main challenges of postoperative tumor therapy. Traditional intravenous or oral administration have poor chemotherapeutics bioavailability and undesirable systemic toxicity. Polymeric hydrogels with a three-dimensional network structure enable on-site delivery and controlled release of therapeutic drugs with reduced systemic toxicity and have been widely developed for postoperative adjuvant tumor therapy. Among them, because of the simple synthesis, good biocompatibility, biodegradability, injectability, and multifunctionality, iron-based hydrogels have received extensive attention. This review has summarized the general synthesis methods and construction principles of iron-based hydrogels, highlighted the latest progress of iron-based hydrogels in postoperative tumor therapy, including chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, chemo-dynamic therapy, and magnetothermal-chemical combined therapy, etc. In addition, the challenges towards clinical application of iron-based hydrogels have also been discussed. This review is expected to show researchers broad perspectives of novel postoperative tumor therapy strategy and provide new ideas in the design and application of novel iron-based hydrogels to advance this sub field in cancer nanomedicine.

Transforming Commercial Copper Sulfide into Injectable Hydrogels for Local Photothermal Therapy. Gels 2022; 8:gels8050319.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising local therapy playing an increasingly important role in tumor treatment. To maximize PTT efficacy, various near-infrared photoabsorbers have been developed. Among them, metal sulfides have attracted considerable interest due to the advantages of good stability and high photothermal conversion efficiency. However, the existing synthesis methods of metal-sulfide-based photoabsorbers suffer from the drawbacks of complicated procedures, low raw material utilization, and poor universality. Herein, we proposed a flexible, adjustable strategy capable of transforming commercial metal sulfides into injectable hydrogels for local PTT. We took copper sulfide (CuS) as a typical example, which has intense second-window near-infrared absorption (1064 nm), to systematically investigate its in vitro and in vivo characteristics. CuS hydrogel with good syringeability was synthesized by simply dispersing commercial CuS powders as photoabsorbers in alginate-Ca2+ hydrogel. This synthesis strategy exhibits the unique merits of an ultra-simple synthesizing process, 100% loading efficiency, good biocompatibility, low cost, outstanding photothermal capacity, and good universality. The in vitro experiments indicated that the hydrogel exhibits favorable photothermal heating ability, and it obviously destroyed tumor cells under 1064 nm laser irradiation. After intratumoral administration in vivo, large-sized CuS particles in the hydrogel highly efficiently accumulated in tumor tissues, and robust local PTT was realized under mild laser irradiation (0.3 W/cm2). The developed strategy for the synthesis of CuS hydrogel provides a novel way to utilize commercial metal sulfides for diverse biological applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a powerful strategy for cancer treatment with minimal invasiveness but still limited by lack of long-term efficacy against tumor recurrence and toxicity concerns about the slow biodegradability of the PTT agents. Herein, an injectable hydrogel platform (R848/POM@GG) of gellan gum co-loaded with Dawson-type {P2Mo18} polyoxometalate (POM) and Toll-like receptors agonist resiquimod (R848) is developed for combinational photothermal-immunotherapy of cancer. The POM-based gellan gum hydrogel (POM@GG) exhibits high photothermal conversion efficiency (63.1%) at a safe power density of 0.3 W cm-2 and good photostability during five cycles. By further incorporation of R848, the obtained R848/POM@GG exerts synergetic photothermal-immunotherapy on solid tumors, giving a high tumor inhibition rate of 99.3% and negligible lung metastases in the breast cancer mice models. A strong antitumor immune system with significantly elevated TNF-α, IL-2, and IL-6 levels is activated by R848. Additionally, the POM clusters gradually degrade to nontoxic molybdate in the physiological environment. Overall, the injectable hydrogel platform of R848/POM@GG has great translational potential for localized antitumor treatments.

Abstract
The local controlled release of siRNA is an attractive and rational strategy to enhance and extend the effectiveness of gene therapy. Since naked and unmodified siRNA has a limited cell uptake and knockdown efficiency, the complexation of siRNA with non-viral carriers is often necessary for the delivery of bioactive RNA. We evaluated the performance of three different non-viral siRNA carriers, including DOTAP lipoplexes (DL), chitosan polyplexes (CP), and solid lipid complexes (SLC). The physicochemical properties of the siRNA-nanocarriers were characterized by dynamic light scattering and gel electrophoresis. After in vitro characterization, the carrier with the most appropriate properties was found to be the DL suspension, which was subsequently loaded into a gellan gum hydrogel matrix and examined for its drug load, stability, and homogeneity. The hydrogels microstructure was investigated by rheology to assess the impact of the rheological properties on the release of the siRNA nanocarriers. A controlled release of complexed siRNA over 60 days in vitro was observed. By comparing the results from fluorescence imaging with data received from HPLC measurements, fluorescence imaging was found to be an appropriate tool to measure the release of siRNA complexes. Finally, the bioactivity of the siRNA released from hydrogel was tested and compared to free DL for its ability to knockdown the GFP expression in a DLD1 colon cancer cell model. The results indicate controlled release properties and activity of the released siRNA. In conclusion, the developed formulation is a promising system to provide local controlled release of siRNA over several weeks.
