Abstract
IKBKE (Inhibitor of Nuclear Factor Kappa-B Kinase Subunit Epsilon) is an important oncogenic protein in a variety of tumors, which can promote tumor growth, proliferation, invasion and drug resistance, and plays a critical regulatory role in the occurrence and progression of malignant tumors. HMGA1a (High Mobility Group AT-hook 1a) functions as a cofactor for proper transcriptional regulation and is highly expressed in multiple types of tumors. ZEB2 (Zinc finger E-box Binding homeobox 2) exerts active functions in epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT). In our current study, we confirmed that IKBKE can increase the proliferation, invasion and migration of glioblastoma cells. We then found that IKBKE can phosphorylate HMGA1a at Ser 36 and/or Ser 44 sites and inhibit the degradation process of HMGA1a, and regulate the nuclear translocation of HMGA1a. Crucially, we observed that HMGA1a can regulate ZEB2 gene expression by interacting with ZEB2 promoter region. Hence, HMGA1a was found to promote the ZEB2-related metastasis. Consequently, we demonstrated that IKBKE can exert its oncogenic functions via the IKBKE/HMGA1a/ZEB2 signalling axis, and IKBKE may be a prominent biomarker for the treatment of glioblastoma in the future.

Abstract
It is vital to remove residual tumor cells after resection to avoid the recurrence and metastasis of osteosarcoma. In this study, a mineral nanomedicine, europium-doped calcium fluoride (CaF2:Eu) nanoparticles (NPs), is developed to enhance the efficacy of adjuvant radiotherapy (i.e., surgical resection followed by radiotherapy) for tumor cell growth and metastasis of osteosarcoma. In vitro studies show that CaF2:Eu NPs (200 μg/mL) exert osteosarcoma cell (143B)-selective toxicity and migration-inhibiting effects at a Eu dopant amount of 2.95 atomic weight percentage. These effects are further enhanced under X-ray irradiation (6 MeV, 4 Gy). Furthermore, in vivo tests show that intraosseous injection of CaF2:Eu NPs and X-ray irradiation have satisfactory therapeutic efficacy in controlling primary tumor size and inhibiting primary tumor metastasis. Overall, our results suggest that CaF2:Eu NPs with their osteosarcoma cell (143B)-selective toxicity and migration-inhibiting effects combined with radiotherapy might be nanomedicines for treating osteosarcoma after tumor resection.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain cancer in adults with poor prognosis. Despite the current state of knowledge on its genetic characteristics, relatively little progress has been made in improving the treatment of patients with this fatal disease. Radiotherapy (RT) has been identified as a crucial treatment for GBM following surgical resection to improve both local control and survival. Unfortunately, radiotherapy resistance is frequently observed in GBM patients, which is the major reason for the high mortality rate of cancer patients. Radioresistance of GBM is often multifactorial and heterogeneous, and associated with the recurrence of GBM after surgery. Nanotechnology has gained increasing attention and has already been investigated for optimization of radiosensitization due to the unique properties of nanobiomaterials, such as photoelectric decay characteristics or potential as carriers for drug delivery to the central nervous system. A large body of preclinical data has accumulated over the past several years, in which nanotechnology-based strategies exhibit promising potential to enhance the radiosensitivity of GBM, both in cellular and animal models. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms of GBM radioresistance, including tumor cell-intrinsic factors as well as tumor microenvironment (TME). We further discuss current nano-biotechnology-based radiosensitizer in the treatment of GBM, summarize the latest findings, highlight challenges, and put forward prospects for the future of nano-radiosensitizers. These data suggest that nanotechnology has the potential to address many of the clinical challenges and nanobiomaterials would become promising next-generation radiotherapy sensitizers for GBM treatment.

Abstract
Background: Nanohydroxyapatite (nHAP) exhibit anti-proliferative effects on various cancer cells. However, to date, there are only
a few studies on the radiosensitization effect of nHAP. The present study aimed to investigate the possible enhancement of
the radiosensitization effect of nHAP on human breast adenocarcinoma cancer (MCF-7) and fibroblast. Methods: nHAP was extracted from fish scales using the thermal alkaline method and characterized at Babol University of Medical Sciences (Babol, Iran)
in 2017. The anti-proliferative and the radiosensitization effects of nHAP were investigated by 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-Diphenyltetrazolium
Bromide (MTT), clonogenic assay, and apoptosis assay. MCF-7 cells and fibroblasts were incubated with different concentrations of nHAP
and at different periods. The MTT solution was added and the absorbance was measured at 570 nm. The MCF-7 cells were exposed to 0, 1.5,
3.5, and 5 Gy X-ray irradiation and incubated for 10-14 days. The data were compared using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the post hoc tests (Tukey’s method). Results: The results showed that nHAP significantly inhibited the growth of MCF-7 cells compared with controls (P<0.001), but the difference was
not statistically significant for fibroblasts (P=0.686 at 400 µg/mL at 72 hours). After 48 hours, the proliferation of MCF-7 cells and fibroblasts
was inhibited by about 81% and 34% at 400 µg/mL concentration, respectively. The radiosensitization enhancement factor for MCF-7 cells and fibroblasts
at a dose of 3.5 Gy and 100 μg/mL concentration were 1.87 and 1.3, respectively. Conclusion: nHAP can be considered as a breast cancer radiosensitization agent with limited damage to the surrounding healthy tissue.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is an essential step during the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), one of the most lethal malignancies. The survival in patients with GBM was improved by the current standard of care for GBM established in 2005 but has stagnated since then. Since GBM is a radioresistant malignancy and the most of GBM recurrences occur in the radiotherapy field, increasing the effectiveness of radiotherapy using high-Z metal nanoparticles (NPs) has recently attracted attention. This review summarizes the progress in radiotherapy approaches for the current treatment of GBM, the physical and biological mechanisms of radiosensitization through high-Z metal NPs, and the results of studies on radiosensitization in the in vitro and in vivo GBM models using high-Z metal NPs to date.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A wide range of nanoparticles (NPs), composed of different elements and their compounds, are being developed by several groups as possible radiosensitisers, with some already in clinical trials. However, no systematic experimental survey of the clinical X-ray radiosensitising potential of different element nanoparticles has been made. Here, we directly compare the irradiation-induced (10 Gy of 6-MV X-ray photon) production of hydroxyl radicals, superoxide anion radicals and singlet oxygen in aqueous solutions of the following metal oxide nanoparticles: Al2O3, SiO2, Sc2O3, TiO2, V2O5, Cr2O3, MnO2, Fe3O4, CoO, NiO, CuO, ZnO, ZrO2, MoO3, Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Eu2O3, Gd2O3, Tb4O7, Dy2O3, Er2O3 and HfO2. We also examine DNA damage due to these NPs in unirradiated and irradiated conditions.
Results
Without any X-rays, several NPs produced more radicals than water alone. Thus, V2O5 NPs produced around 5-times more hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals. MnO2 NPs produced around 10-times more superoxide anions and Tb4O7 produced around 3-times more singlet oxygen. Lanthanides produce fewer hydroxyl radicals than water. Following irradiation, V2O5 NPs produced nearly 10-times more hydroxyl radicals than water. Changes in radical concentrations were determined by subtracting unirradiated values from irradiated values. These were then compared with irradiation-induced changes in water only. Irradiation-specific increases in hydroxyl radical were seen with most NPs, but these were only significantly above the values of water for V2O5, while the Lanthanides showed irradiation-specific decreases in hydroxyl radical, compared to water. Only TiO2 showed a trend of irradiation-specific increase in superoxides, while V2O5, MnO2, CoO, CuO, MoO3 and Tb4O7 all demonstrated significant irradiation-specific decreases in superoxide, compared to water. No irradiation-specific increases in singlet oxygen were seen, but V2O5, NiO, CuO, MoO3 and the lanthanides demonstrated irradiation-specific decreases in singlet oxygen, compared to water. MoO3 and CuO produced DNA damage in the absence of radiation, while the highest irradiation-specific DNA damage was observed with CuO. In contrast, MnO2, Fe3O4 and CoO were slightly protective against irradiation-induced DNA damage.
Conclusions
Beyond identifying promising metal oxide NP radiosensitisers and radioprotectors, our broad comparisons reveal unexpected differences that suggest the surface chemistry of NP radiosensitisers is an important criterion for their success.

Abstract
Background: Studies have showed that nanoparticles have a certain anti-cancer activity and can inhibit many kinds of cancer cells. β-tricalcium phosphate nanoparticles (nano-β-TCP) displays better biodegradation, but the application and mechanism of nano-β-TCP in anti-cancer activity are still not clear. Purpose: The objective of this study was to synthesize nano-β-TCP and investigate its inhibitory properties and mechanism on hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Nano-β-TCP was synthesized using ethanol-water system and characterized. The effects of nano-β-TCP on cell viability, cell uptake, intracellular oxidative stress (ROS), cell cycle and apoptosis were also investigated with HepG2 cells and human hepatocyte cells (L-02). Intratumoral injection of nano-β-TCP was performed on the xenograft liver cancer model to explore the inhibitory effect and mechanism of nano-β-TCP on liver tumors. Results: In vitro results revealed that nano-β-TCP caused reduced cell viability of HepG2 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner. Nano-β-TCP was internalized through endocytosis and degraded in cells, resulting in obvious increase of the intracellular Ca2+ and PO4 3- ions. Nano-β-TCP induced cancer cells to produce ROS and induced apoptosis of tumor cells by an apoptotic signaling pathways both in extrinsic and intrinsic pathway. In addition, nano-β-TCP blocked cell cycle of HepG2 cells in G0/G1 phase and disturbed expression of some related cyclins. In vivo results showed that 40 mg/kg of nano-β-TCP had no significant toxic side effects, but could effectively suppress hepatocellular carcinoma growth. Conclusion: These findings revealed the anticancer effect of nano-β-TCP and also clarified the mechanism of its inhibitory effect on hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Nano-sized hydroxyapatite (nHA) particles have been demonstrated to exert anti-cancer effects on multiple cancer cell lines and animal models of cancer biology. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the effects of nHA particles on glioma cells remains unclear. The present study aimed to examine the effects of nHA on the behavior of glioma cells and investigate its underlying molecular mechanism. Rat glioma C6 cells and human glioma U87MG ATCC cells were exposed to nHA (20–100 µg/ml), and its effects on cell morphology, viability, apoptosis, cell cycle, invasion and nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling were analyzed. Exposure of C6 and U87MG ATCC cells to 20 µg/ml nHA for 24 h caused cell detachment. Viability of C6 and U87MG ATCC cells were significantly reduced by nHA in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Nuclear staining with Hoechst 33258 exhibited clear chromatin condensation in C6 cells following 24 h exposure to ≥25 µg/ml nHA. Flow cytometry revealed that nHA (20–100 µg/ml) significantly induced apoptosis and cell cycle G2/M arrest in C6 and U87MG ATCC cells (P<0.05). Transwell invasion assay demonstrated that nHA (20–60 µg/ml) significantly inhibited invasion of U87MG ATCC cells (P<0.05). Furthermore, western blotting and confocal immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that nHA (20–100 µg/ml) decreased NF-κB p65 protein expression and blocked NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation in C6 cells. The protein expression of NF-κB target molecules, such as B cell lymphoma 2, cyclooxygenase-2 and survivin, were also significantly reduced by nHA in a dose-dependent manner in both C6 and U87MG ATCC cells (P<0.05). In conclusion, it was demonstrated that the inhibitory effect of nHA on glioma cells is likely associated with the downregulation of NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
With the advance in nanomedicine, the present study was conducted to explore the possible therapeutic role of intravenous nano- hydroxyapatite (nano-HAp) in male rats after chronic exposure to aluminum chloride (AlCl3). This exposure interposed DNA fragmentation, apoptosis, alters oxidant/antioxidant status as well as change in content of neurotransmitters. The rats were injected with 100 mg/kg. body weight (b.w.) of AlCl3 intraperitoneally for 90 days, after then nano-HAp was injected intravenously (i.v.) three times per week at a dose level 100 mg/kg b.w. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the treatment with the prepared nano-HAp restrains the damage inflicted on brain modulation by lipid oxidation products and decreased the susceptibility of apoptotic cells death with subsequent repaired the fragmented DNA as well as improved the synthesis of neurotransmitters. The most salient finding of nano-HAp treatment is the disappearance of most pathological changes due to AlCl3 administration.

Cancer Gene Ther 2018; 25:309-316. [PMID: 30140041 DOI: 10.1038/s41417-018-0040-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2018] [Revised: 07/02/2018] [Accepted: 07/07/2018] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system and has a very poor prognosis. Currently, patients were treated by resection followed by radiotherapy plus concurrent temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. However, many patients are resistant to TMZ-induced DNA damage because of upregulated expression of the DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). In this study, upregulation of SATB1 and MGMT, and downregulation of SLC22A18 resulted in acquisition of TMZ resistance in GBM U87 cells. Inactivation of special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 1 (SATB1) using short hairpin RNA (shRNA) downregulated MGMT expression and upregulated solute carrier family 22 member 18 (SLC22A18) expression in GBM cells. This suggested SATB1-mediated posttranscriptional regulation of the MGMT and SLC22A18 protein levels. Immunohistochemical analysis of malignant glioma specimens demonstrated a significant positive correlation between the levels of MGMT and SATB1, and a negative correlation between the levels of SLC22A18 and SATB1. Importantly, in recurrent, compared with the primary, lesions in 15 paired identical tumors, the SATB1 and MGMT protein levels were increased and the SLC22A18 levels were decreased. Finally, in TMZ-resistant GBM, SATB1 knockdown enhanced TMZ efficacy. Consequently, SATB1 inhibition might be a promising strategy combined with TMZ chemotherapy to treat TMZ-resistant GBM.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is one of the new clinical options by generating cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer cells. However, the optical approach of PDT is limited by tissue penetration depth of visible light. In this study, we propose that a ROS-enhanced nanoparticle, hafnium-doped hydroxyapatite (Hf:HAp), which is a material to yield large quantities of ROS inside the cells when the nanoparticles are bombarded with high penetrating power of ionizing radiation. Hf:HAp nanoparticles are generated by wet chemical precipitation with total doping concentration of 15mol% Hf(4+) relative to Ca(2+) in HAp host material. The results show that the HAp particles could be successfully doped with Hf ions, resulted in the formation of nano-sized rod-like shape and with pH-dependent solubility. The impact of ionizing radiation on Hf:HAp nanoparticles is assessed by using in-vitro and in-vivo model using A549 cell line. The 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) results reveal that after being exposed to gamma rays, Hf:HAp could significantly lead to the formation of ROS in cells. Both cell viability (WST-1) and cytotoxicity (LDH) assay show the consistent results that A549 lung cancer cell lines are damaged with changes in the cells' ROS level. The in-vivo studies further demonstrate that the tumor growth is inhibited owing to the cells apoptosis when Hf:HAp nanoparticles are bombarded with ionizing radiation. This finding offer a new therapeutic method of interacting with ionizing radiation and demonstrate the potential of Hf:HAp nanoparticles in tumor treatment, such as being used in a palliative treatment after lung surgical procedure. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is one of the new clinical options by generating cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer cells. Unfortunately, the approach of PDT is usually limited to the treatment of systemic disease and deeper tumor, due to the limited tissue penetration depth of visible light (620-690nm). Here we report a ROS-enhanced nanoparticle, hafnium-doped hydroxyapatite (Hf:HAp), which can trigger ROS when particles are irradiated with high penetrating power of ionizing radiation. The present study provides quantitative data relating ROS generation and the therapeutic effect of Hf:HAp nanoparticles in lung cancer cells. As such, this material has opened an innovative window for deeper tumor and systemic disease treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Application of nanoparticles as radio sensitizer is a promising field to improve efficiency of radiotherapy. METHODS This study was conducted to review nano radio sensitizers. PubMed, Ovid Medline, Science Direct, Scopus, ISI web of knowledge, and Springer databases were searched from 2000 to May 2013 to identify relevant studies. Search was restricted to English language. RESULTS We included any study that evaluated nanoparticles, volunteer of radio enhancement at radiotherapy on animals or cell lines. Nanoparticles can increase radio sensitivity of tumor cells. This effect was shown in vivo and in vitro, at kilovltage or megavoltage energies, in 24 reviewed studies. Focus of studies was on gold nanoparticles. Radio sensitizing effects of nanoparticles depend on nanoparticles' size, type, concentration, intracellular localization, used irradiation energy and tested cell line. CONCLUSION Literature suggests potency of nanoparticles for increasing cell radio sensitivity. Reviewed results are promising and warrant future clinical trials.

In vitro and in vivo radiosensitization of human glioma U251 cells induced by upregulated expression of SLC22A18. Cancer Gene Ther 2014; 21:103-9. [PMID: 24481489 DOI: 10.1038/cgt.2014.4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2013] [Revised: 01/01/2014] [Accepted: 01/10/2014] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Our previous study showed that solute carrier family 22 (organic cation transporter) member 18 (SLC22A18) downregulation via promoter methylation was associated with the development and progression of glioma, and the elevated expression of SLC22A18 was found to increase the sensitivity of glioma U251 cells to the anticancer drug 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea. In this study, we investigated the possible upregulated expression of SLC22A18-induced enhancement of radiosensitivity of human glioma U251 cells in order to provide evidence in support of further clinical investigations. Stably overexpressing SLC22A18 human glioma U251 cells were generated to investigate the effect of SLC22A18 on the sensitivity of cells to irradiation in vitro using clonogenic survival assay. The apoptosis of U251 cells was examined with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling assay. DNA damage and repair were measured using γH2AX foci. The effect of SLC22A18 on the in vivo tumor radiosensitivity was investigated in the orthotopic mice model. Upregulated expression of SLC22A18 enhanced the radiosensitivity of glioma U251 cells and also enhanced irradiation-induced apoptosis of U251 cells, but irradiation-induced apoptosis did not correlate with radiosensitizing effect of upregulated expression of SLC22A18. The repair of irradiation-induced double-strand-breaks was retarded in stably overexpressing SLC22A18 U251 cells. In the orthotopic mice model, the upregulated expression of SLC22A18 in U251 cells enhanced the effect of irradiation treatment and increased the survival time of mice. These results show that upregulated expression of SLC22A18 radiosensitizes human glioma U251 cells by suppressing DNA repair capacity.
