Background: Large-diameter titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) have shown promise in preserving osteoblast function under oxidative stress (OS) in vitro. However, their ability to enhance osteogenesis in vivo under OS conditions and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the osteogenic potential of 110 nm TNTs (TNT110) compared to 30 nm TNTs (TNT30) in an aging rat model exhibiting OS, and to investigate the mechanisms involved.

Methods: Surface properties of TNTs were characterized, and in vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to assess their osteoinductive effects under OS. Transcriptomic, proteomic analyses, and Western blotting were performed to investigate the protective mechanisms of TNT110 on osteoblasts. Protein adsorption studies focused on the roles of fibronectin (FN) and albumin (BSA) in modulating osteoblast behavior on TNT110.

Results: In both in vitro and in vivo experiments, TNT110 significantly improved new bone formation and supported osteoblast survival under OS conditions. Subsequent ribonucleic acid sequencing results indicated that TNT110 tended to attenuate inflammatory responses and reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression while promoting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and extracellular matrix receptor interactions, all of which are crucial for osteoblast survival and functionality. Further confirmation indicated that the cellular behavior changes of osteoblasts in the TNT110 group could only occur in the presence of serum. Moreover, proteomic analysis under OS conditions revealed the pivotal roles of FN and BSA in augmenting TNT110's resistance to OS. Surface pretreatment of TNT110 with FN/BSA alone could beneficially influence the early adhesion, spreading, ER activity, and ROS expression of osteoblasts, a trend not observed with TNT30.

Conclusion: TNT110 effectively protects osteoblast function in the OS microenvironment by modulating protein adsorption, with FN and BSA synergistically enhancing osteogenesis. These findings suggest TNT110's potential for use in implants for elderly patients.

背景:大直径二氧化钛纳米管(TNTs)在体外氧化应激(OS)条件下有望保护成骨细胞的功能。目的:本研究旨在评估 110 nm TNTs(TNT110)与 30 nm TNTs(TNT30)相比在老龄大鼠模型中的成骨潜力,并研究其中的机制:方法:表征了TNTs的表面特性,并进行了体外和体内实验,以评估其在OS条件下的骨诱导效应。通过转录组学、蛋白质组学分析和 Western 印迹法研究 TNT110 对成骨细胞的保护机制。蛋白质吸附研究的重点是纤维连接蛋白(FN)和白蛋白(BSA)在调节成骨细胞对 TNT110 的行为中的作用:在体外和体内实验中,TNT110都能显著改善新骨形成,并支持成骨细胞在OS条件下存活。随后的核糖核酸测序结果表明,TNT110往往会减轻炎症反应和活性氧(ROS)的表达,同时促进内质网(ER)应激和细胞外基质受体的相互作用,所有这些对成骨细胞的存活和功能至关重要。进一步证实表明,TNT110 组成骨细胞的细胞行为变化只有在血清存在的情况下才能发生。此外,OS条件下的蛋白质组分析表明,FN和BSA在增强TNT110对OS的抵抗力方面起着关键作用。仅用 FN/BSA 对 TNT110 进行表面预处理可有益地影响成骨细胞的早期粘附、扩散、ER 活性和 ROS 表达,而 TNT30 则没有观察到这一趋势:结论:TNT110通过调节蛋白质吸附有效地保护了OS微环境中的成骨细胞功能,FN和BSA可协同促进成骨。这些发现表明 TNT110 有潜力用于老年患者的植入物。

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent and deadly malignancy of the head and neck. The standard treatments for OSCC are surgery, radiotherapy, and chemoradiotherapy, which can cause severe cosmetic and functional damage to the oral cavity and impair the patients' quality of life. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising alternative that uses light-activated photosensitizers to induce selective phototoxicity and necrosis in the target tissues. PDT has several advantages over conventional treatments, such as minimal invasion, low side effects, high selectivity and preservation of the oral function and appearance. This review explores the principles, mechanisms, and current applications of PDT for OSCC. We address the challenges, such as the depth of light penetration and tissue hypoxia, and underscore the progressive innovations in photosensitizer enhancement, nanotechnological integration, and precision therapy. The exploration of biomarkers for refining patient selection and tailoring individualized treatment regimens is also undertaken. PDT holds promise as a secure and efficacious modality for OSCC management. Nonetheless, additional investigation is imperative to refine treatment protocols and validate sustained therapeutic success.

口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)是头颈部最常见、最致命的恶性肿瘤。OSCC的标准治疗方法是手术、放疗和化学放疗,这些方法会对口腔造成严重的外观和功能损伤,影响患者的生活质量。光动力疗法(PDT)是一种很有前景的替代疗法,它使用光激活的光敏剂诱导靶组织产生选择性光毒性和坏死。与传统治疗方法相比,PDT 具有多种优势,如微创、副作用小、选择性高以及可保留口腔功能和外观。本综述探讨了光动力疗法治疗 OSCC 的原理、机制和当前应用。我们探讨了光穿透深度和组织缺氧等挑战,并强调了在光敏剂增强、纳米技术集成和精准治疗方面的逐步创新。此外,我们还探讨了生物标志物,以完善患者选择和定制个性化治疗方案。光动力疗法有望成为治疗 OSCC 的一种安全有效的方法。然而,要完善治疗方案并验证持续的治疗效果,还必须进行更多的研究。

Hydrogels are multifunctional platforms. Through reasonable structure and function design, they use material engineering to adjust their physical and chemical properties, such as pore size, microstructure, degradability, stimulus-response characteristics, etc. and have a variety of biomedical applications. Hydrogel three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a promising technique for the precise deposition of cell-laden biomaterials, enabling the fabrication of intricate 3D structures such as artificial vertebrae and intervertebral discs (IVDs). Despite being in the early stages, 3D printing techniques have shown great potential in the field of regenerative medicine for the fabrication of various transplantable tissues within the human body. Currently, the utilization of engineered hydrogels as carriers or scaffolds for treating intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) presents numerous challenges. However, it remains an indispensable multifunctional manufacturing technology that is imperative in addressing the escalating issue of IVDD. Moreover, it holds the potential to serve as a micron-scale platform for a diverse range of applications. This review primarily concentrates on emerging treatment strategies for IVDD, providing an in-depth analysis of their merits and drawbacks, as well as the challenges that need to be addressed. Furthermore, it extensively explores the biological properties of hydrogels and various nanoscale biomaterial inks, compares different prevalent manufacturing processes utilized in 3D printing, and thoroughly examines the potential clinical applications and prospects of integrating 3D printing technology with hydrogels.

水凝胶是一种多功能平台。通过合理的结构和功能设计,它们利用材料工程学调整其物理和化学特性,如孔径、微结构、可降解性、刺激响应特性等,具有多种生物医学应用。水凝胶三维(3D)打印已成为一种很有前途的技术,可精确沉积含有细胞的生物材料,从而制造出复杂的三维结构,如人工椎骨和椎间盘(IVD)。尽管还处于早期阶段,但三维打印技术已在再生医学领域显示出巨大的潜力,可在人体内制造各种可移植组织。目前,利用工程水凝胶作为载体或支架治疗椎间盘变性(IVDD)面临着诸多挑战。然而,水凝胶仍然是一种不可或缺的多功能制造技术,对于解决日益严重的椎间盘退变问题至关重要。此外,它还具有作为微米级平台进行各种应用的潜力。本综述主要关注 IVDD 的新兴治疗策略,深入分析了这些策略的优缺点以及需要应对的挑战。此外,它还广泛探讨了水凝胶和各种纳米级生物材料墨水的生物特性,比较了三维打印中使用的不同流行制造工艺,并深入研究了将三维打印技术与水凝胶相结合的潜在临床应用和前景。

Epigenetic dysregulation can significantly trigger the onset and progression of various diseases, epigenetic therapy is a new treatment strategy by changing DNA methylation, histone modification, N6-methyladenosine, chromatin modification and other epigenetic modifications to regulate gene expression levels for therapeutic purposes. However, small-molecule epigenetic drugs face challenges in disease treatment, such as lack of selectivity, limited therapeutic efficacy, and insufficient safety. Nanomedicine delivery systems offer significant advantages in addressing these issues by enhancing drug targeting, improving bioavailability, and reducing nonspecific distribution. This help minimize side effects while increasing both therapeutic effectiveness and safety of epigenetic drugs. In this review, we focus on the mechanism and role of epigenetic regulatory factors in diseases, as well as the challenges faced by small molecule inhibitors in treatment strategies, especially the research advancements in epigenetic drug delivery systems, review and discuss the therapeutic potential and challenges of using nanotechnology to develop epigenetic drug delivery systems.

表观遗传失调可显著诱发各种疾病的发生和发展,表观遗传学疗法是一种新的治疗策略,通过改变DNA甲基化、组蛋白修饰、N6-甲基腺苷、染色质修饰等表观遗传修饰来调节基因表达水平,达到治疗目的。然而,小分子表观遗传药物在疾病治疗中面临着选择性不足、疗效有限、安全性不够等挑战。纳米药物传输系统通过增强药物靶向性、提高生物利用度和减少非特异性分布,在解决这些问题方面具有显著优势。这有助于最大限度地减少副作用,同时提高表观遗传药物的疗效和安全性。在这篇综述中,我们将重点探讨表观遗传调控因子在疾病中的机制和作用,以及小分子抑制剂在治疗策略中面临的挑战,特别是表观遗传给药系统的研究进展,回顾和讨论利用纳米技术开发表观遗传给药系统的治疗潜力和挑战。

Exosomes Induce Crosstalk Between Multiple Types of Cells and Cardiac Fibroblasts: Therapeutic Potential for Remodeling After Myocardial Infarction. 外泌体诱导多种类型细胞与心脏成纤维细胞之间的串联:心肌梗死后重塑的治疗潜力

Recanalization therapy can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, infarction or reperfusion-induced cardiomyocyte death, immune cell infiltration, fibroblast proliferation, and scarring formation lead to cardiac remodeling and gradually progress to heart failure or arrhythmia, resulting in a high mortality rate. Due to the inability of cardiomyocytes to regenerate, the healing of infarcted myocardium mainly relies on the formation of scars. Cardiac fibroblasts, as the main effector cells involved in repair and scar formation, play a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the heart after MI. Recent studies have revealed that exosome-mediated intercellular communication plays a huge role in myocardial repair and signaling transduction after myocardial infarction (MI). Exosomes can regulate the biological behavior of fibroblasts by activating or inhibiting the intracellular signaling pathways through their contents, which are derived from cardiomyocytes, immune cells, endothelial cells, mesenchymal cells, and others. Understanding the interactions between fibroblasts and other cell types during cardiac remodeling will be the key to breakthrough therapies. This review examines the role of exosomes from different sources in the repair process after MI injury, especially the impacts on fibroblasts during myocardial remodeling, and explores the use of exosomes in the treatment of myocardial remodeling after MI.

再灌注治疗可明显改善急性心肌梗死(AMI)患者的预后。然而,梗死或再灌注引起的心肌细胞死亡、免疫细胞浸润、成纤维细胞增殖和瘢痕形成会导致心脏重塑,并逐渐发展为心力衰竭或心律失常,从而导致高死亡率。由于心肌细胞无法再生,梗死心肌的愈合主要依靠疤痕的形成。心脏成纤维细胞作为参与修复和疤痕形成的主要效应细胞,在维持心肌梗死后心脏结构完整性方面发挥着至关重要的作用。最近的研究发现,外泌体介导的细胞间通讯在心肌梗死(MI)后的心肌修复和信号转导中发挥着巨大作用。外泌体可通过其内容物激活或抑制细胞内信号通路,从而调节成纤维细胞的生物学行为,这些内容物来自心肌细胞、免疫细胞、内皮细胞、间充质细胞等。了解心脏重塑过程中成纤维细胞与其他细胞类型之间的相互作用将是突破性疗法的关键。本综述探讨了不同来源的外泌体在心肌梗死损伤后修复过程中的作用,尤其是在心肌重塑过程中对成纤维细胞的影响,并探讨了外泌体在治疗心肌梗死后心肌重塑中的应用。

Background: The challenge in treating irreversible nerve tissue damage has resulted in suboptimal outcomes for spinal cord injuries (SCI), underscoring the critical need for innovative treatment strategies to offer hope to patients.

Methods: In this study, gelatin methacrylic acid hydrogel scaffolds loaded with nerve growth factors (GMNF) were prepared and used to verify the performance of SCI. The physicochemical and biological properties of the GMNF were tested. The effect of GMNF on activity of neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs) was investigated in vitro. Histological staining and motor ability was carried out to assess the ability of SCI repair in SCI animal models.

Results: Achieving nerve growth factors sustained release, GMNF had good biocompatibility and could effectively penetrate into the cells with good targeting permeability. GMNF could better enhance the activity of NPCs and promote their directional differentiation into mature neuronal cells in vitro, which could exert a good neural repair function. In vivo, SCI mice treated with GMNF recovered their motor abilities more effectively and showed better wound healing by macroscopic observation of the coronal surface of their SCI area. Meanwhile, the immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the GMNF scaffolds effectively promoted SCI repair by better promoting the colonization and proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the SCI region and targeted differentiation into mature neurons.

Conclusion: The application of GMNF composite scaffolds shows great potential in SCI treatment, which are anticipated to be a potential therapeutic bioactive material for clinical application in repairing SCI in the future.

背景:治疗不可逆神经组织损伤的挑战导致脊髓损伤(SCI)的治疗效果不理想:治疗不可逆的神经组织损伤是一项挑战,导致脊髓损伤(SCI)的治疗效果不尽如人意,这突出表明亟需创新的治疗策略为患者带来希望:本研究制备了负载神经生长因子(GMNF)的明胶甲基丙烯酸水凝胶支架,并将其用于验证 SCI 的性能。研究人员测试了 GMNF 的物理化学和生物学特性。体外研究了 GMNF 对神经元祖细胞(NPC)活性的影响。通过组织学染色和运动能力评估 SCI 动物模型的 SCI 修复能力:GMNF实现了神经生长因子的持续释放,具有良好的生物相容性,能有效渗透到细胞内,靶向渗透性好。在体外,GMNF能更好地增强NPCs的活性,促进其定向分化为成熟的神经元细胞,从而发挥良好的神经修复功能。在体内,经 GMNF 治疗的 SCI 小鼠能更有效地恢复运动能力,并通过 SCI 区域冠状面的宏观观察显示伤口愈合更好。同时,免疫组化结果表明,GMNF支架能更好地促进神经干细胞(NSCs)在SCI区域的定植和增殖,并定向分化为成熟的神经元,从而有效促进SCI的修复:结论:GMNF复合支架在SCI治疗中的应用显示出巨大潜力,有望成为未来临床应用于SCI修复的潜在治疗生物活性材料。

Background: The skin regulates body processes. When damaged, it is prone to breeding bacteria, causing inflammation and impeding wound healing. There is an urgent need for new dressings that can combat bacteria to aid in infectious wound repair.

Methods: In this study, a curcumin-loaded nanocomposite hydrogel dressing (GelMA/AHA-Gel@Cur) with antibacterial properties and strong toughness was synthesized, designed to combine the modified gelatin-based hydrogel (GelMA/AHA) with curcumin-coated gelatin (Gel@Cur) nanoparticles to promote the healing of bacterial infection wounds. Under UV irradiation, methylacrylylated gelatin (GelMA) and aldehyaluronic acid (AHA) formed a composite network hydrogel through radical polymerization and Schiff base reaction. Meanwhile, the residual aldehyde group on the molecular chain of AHA securely locked Gel@Cur nanoparticles in the hydrogel network through Schiff base reaction.

Results: The addition of Gel@Cur nanoparticles not only enhanced the hydrogel's mechanical strength but also facilitated a sustained, gradual release of curcumin, endowing the composite hydrogel with robust antimicrobial capabilities. In an animal model of infected wounds, the composite hydrogel significantly improved wound closure, healing, and vascularization compared to the control group. Hemocompatibility tests confirmed the hydrogel's safety, with a hemolysis ratio of just 0.45%. Histological evaluation following treatment with the composite hydrogel showed improved tissue architecture, increased collagen deposition, and regeneration of dermal gland structures.

Conclusion: The GelMA/AHA-Gel@Cur composite hydrogel exhibits excellent mechanical properties, potent antimicrobial activity, and controlled drug release, along with superior cell and hemocompatibility. These characteristics make it a promising material for infected wound repair and a potential candidate for clinical skin regeneration applications.

背景介绍皮肤调节着身体的各种过程。皮肤一旦受损,就容易滋生细菌,引起炎症,阻碍伤口愈合。目前急需能抗菌的新型敷料来帮助感染性伤口的修复:本研究合成了一种具有抗菌性能和强韧性的姜黄素负载纳米复合水凝胶敷料(GelMA/AHA-Gel@Cur),旨在将改性明胶基水凝胶(GelMA/AHA)与姜黄素涂层明胶(Gel@Cur)纳米粒子结合起来,促进细菌感染伤口的愈合。在紫外线照射下,甲基丙烯酰化明胶(GelMA)和醛基透明质酸(AHA)通过自由基聚合和希夫碱反应形成复合网络水凝胶。同时,AHA分子链上残留的醛基通过席夫碱反应将Gel@Cur纳米粒子牢固地锁在水凝胶网络中:结果:Gel@Cur 纳米粒子的加入不仅增强了水凝胶的机械强度,还促进了姜黄素的持续、渐进释放,使复合水凝胶具有强大的抗菌能力。在感染伤口的动物模型中,与对照组相比,复合水凝胶明显改善了伤口闭合、愈合和血管形成。血液相容性测试证实了水凝胶的安全性,溶血率仅为 0.45%。复合水凝胶治疗后的组织学评估显示,组织结构得到改善,胶原蛋白沉积增加,真皮腺体结构再生:结论:GelMA/AHA-Gel@Cur 复合水凝胶具有优异的机械性能、强大的抗菌活性、可控的药物释放以及出色的细胞和血液相容性。这些特性使其成为一种很有前景的感染性伤口修复材料,也是临床皮肤再生应用的潜在候选材料。

Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System of Morin: A New Approach for Combating Acute Alcohol Intoxication. 莫林自纳米乳化给药系统:对抗急性酒精中毒的新方法。
IF 6.6 2区 医学 Q1 NANOSCIENCE & NANOTECHNOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-10-18 eCollection Date: 2024-01-01 DOI: 10.2147/IJN.S472287

Purpose: Acute alcohol intoxication (AAI) is a life-threatening medical condition resulting from excessive alcohol consumption. Our research revealed the potential of morin (MOR) in treating AAI. However, MOR's effectiveness against AAI was hindered by its poor solubility in water and low bioavailability. In this study, our aim was to develop a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) to enhance MOR's solubility and bioavailability, evaluate its anti-AAI effects, and investigate the underlying mechanism.

Methods: The composition of MOR-loaded self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (MOR-SNEDDS) was determined by constructing pseudo-ternary phase diagrams, and its formulation proportion was optimized using the Box-Behnken design. Following characterization of MOR-SNEDDS, we investigated its pharmacokinetics and biodistribution in healthy animals. Additionally, we assessed the anti-AAI effects and gastric mucosal protection of MOR-SNEDDS in an AAI mice model, exploring potential mechanisms.

Results: After breaking down into tiny droplets, the optimized mixture of MOR-SNEDDS showed small droplet size on average, even distribution, strong stability, and permeability. Pharmacokinetic studies indicated that MOR-SNEDDS, compared to a MOR suspension, increased the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-t) by 10.43 times. Additionally, studies on how drugs move and are distributed in the body showed that MOR-SNEDDS had an advantage in passively targeting the liver. Moreover, in a mouse model for alcohol addiction, MOR not only decreased alcohol levels by boosting the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in the stomach and liver, which counteracted the loss of righting reflex (LORR), but also reduced alcohol-induced damage to the stomach lining by lowering malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels. Furthermore, MOR-SNEDDS notably amplified these effects.

Conclusion: MOR exhibits significant potential as a new medication for treating AAI, and utilizing MOR-SNEDDS with high oral bioavailability represents a promising new strategy in combating AAI.

目的:急性酒精中毒(AAI)是一种因过量饮酒而导致的危及生命的病症。我们的研究揭示了吗啉(MOR)治疗 AAI 的潜力。然而,MOR 在水中的溶解度较低,生物利用度较低,这阻碍了其对 AAI 的疗效。本研究旨在开发一种自纳米乳化给药系统(SNEDDS),以提高 MOR 的溶解度和生物利用度,评估其抗 AAI 的效果,并研究其潜在机制:方法:通过构建伪三元相图确定了MOR负载型自纳米乳化给药系统(MOR-SNEDDS)的组成,并采用Box-Behnken设计法对其配方比例进行了优化。在确定 MOR-SNEDDS 的特性后,我们研究了它在健康动物体内的药代动力学和生物分布。此外,我们还在 AAI 小鼠模型中评估了 MOR-SNEDDS 的抗 AAI 作用和胃黏膜保护作用,探索其潜在机制:结果:MOR-SNEDDS 的优化混合物在分解成微小液滴后,显示出平均液滴体积小、分布均匀、稳定性强、渗透性好等特点。药代动力学研究表明,与 MOR 悬浮液相比,MOR-SNEDDS 的血浆浓度-时间曲线下面积(AUC0-t)增加了 10.43 倍。此外,对药物如何在体内移动和分布的研究表明,MOR-SNEDDS 在被动靶向肝脏方面具有优势。此外,在酒精成瘾的小鼠模型中,MOR 不仅通过提高胃部和肝脏中酒精脱氢酶(ADH)和醛脱氢酶(ALDH)的活性来降低酒精含量,从而抵消右旋反射(LORR)的丧失,还通过降低丙二醛(MDA)水平和提高超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)水平来减少酒精对胃黏膜的损伤。此外,MOR-SNEDDS 还显著增强了这些效果:MOR 作为一种治疗 AAI 的新药具有很大的潜力,利用口服生物利用度高的 MOR-SNEDDS 是一种很有前景的防治 AAI 的新策略。

Background: Cinobufagin, the primary active compound in toad venom, is commonly used for anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic purposes. However, its specific bone-protective effects remain uncertain. This research aims to ascertain the bone-protective properties of cinobufagin and investigate underlying mechanisms.

Methods: Mice were ovariectomized to establish an osteoporosis model, followed by intraperitoneal injections of cinobufagin and cinobufagin-treated RAW.264.7-derived exosomes for therapy. MicroCT, HE staining, and TRAP staining were employed to evaluate bone mass and therapeutic outcomes, while mRNA sequencing and immunoblotting were utilized to assess markers of bone metabolism, inflammation, and lipid peroxidation. Osteoblast and osteoclast precursor cells were differentiated to observe the impact of cinobufagin-treated exosomes derived from RAW264.7 cells on bone metabolism. Exosomes characteristics were studied using transmission electron microscopy and particle size analysis, and miRNA binding targets in exosomes were determined by luciferase reporting.

Results: In ovariectomized mice, cinobufagin and cinobufagin-treated exosomes from RAW264.7 cells increased trabecular bone density and mass in the femur, while also decreasing inflammation and lipid peroxidation. The effect was reversed by an exosomes inhibitor. In vitro experiments revealed that cinobufagin-treated exosomes from RAW264.7 cells enhanced osteogenic and suppressed osteoclast differentiation, possibly linked to Upregulated miR-3102-5p in RAW-derived exosomes. MiR-3102-5p targets the 3'UTR region of alox15, thereby suppressing its expression and reducing the lipid peroxidation process in osteoblasts.

Conclusion: Overall, this study clarified cinobufagin's bone-protective effects and revealed that cinobufagin can enhance the delivery of miR-3102-5p targeting alox15 through macrophage-derived exosomes, demonstrating anti-lipid peroxidation and anti-inflammatory effects.

背景:蟾蜍毒液中的主要活性化合物 Cinobufagin 常用于抗肿瘤、消炎和镇痛。然而,其具体的骨骼保护作用仍不确定。本研究旨在确定 cinobufagin 的骨保护特性并研究其潜在机制:方法:切除小鼠卵巢以建立骨质疏松症模型,然后腹腔注射西诺巴苷和西诺巴苷处理的 RAW.264.7 衍生外泌体进行治疗。显微CT、HE染色和TRAP染色被用来评估骨量和治疗效果,而mRNA测序和免疫印迹被用来评估骨代谢、炎症和脂质过氧化的标记物。对成骨细胞和破骨细胞前体细胞进行分化,以观察从 RAW264.7 细胞中提取的经西诺巴金处理的外泌体对骨代谢的影响。利用透射电子显微镜和粒度分析研究了外泌体的特征,并通过荧光素酶报告确定了外泌体中的miRNA结合靶标:结果:在卵巢切除的小鼠中,来自 RAW264.7 细胞的 cinobufagin 和 cinobufagin 处理外泌体增加了股骨小梁骨密度和质量,同时还降低了炎症和脂质过氧化反应。外泌体抑制剂可逆转这种效应。体外实验显示,经西诺巴金处理的 RAW264.7 细胞外泌体增强了成骨作用,抑制了破骨细胞分化,这可能与 RAW 衍生外泌体中的 miR-3102-5p 上调有关。MiR-3102-5p靶向alox15的3'UTR区域,从而抑制其表达并减少成骨细胞的脂质过氧化过程:总之,本研究阐明了西诺巴苷的骨保护作用,并揭示了西诺巴苷可通过巨噬细胞衍生的外泌体增强靶向alox15的miR-3102-5p的传递,从而显示出抗脂质过氧化和抗炎作用。

Background: Phototherapy based on photocatalytic semiconductor nanomaterials has received considerable attention for the cancer treatment. Nonetheless, intense efficacy for in vivo treatment is restricted by inadequate photocatalytic activity and visible light response.

Methods: In this study, we designed a photocatalytic heterostructure using graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and tin disulfide (SnS2) to synthesize g-C3N4/SnS2 heterostructure through hydrothermal process. Furthermore, Au nanoparticles were decorated in situ deposition on the surface of the g-C3N4/SnS2 heterostructure to form g-C3N4/SnS2@Au nanoparticles.

Results: The g-C3N4/SnS2@Au nanoparticles generated intense reactive oxygen species radicals under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation through photodynamic therapy (PDT) pathways (Type-I and Type-II). These nanoparticles exhibited enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT) efficacy with high photothermal conversion efficiency (41%) when subjected to 808 nm laser light, owing to the presence of Au nanoparticles. The in vitro studies have indicated that these nanoparticles can induce human liver carcinoma cancer cell (HepG2) apoptosis (approximately 80% cell death) through the synergistic therapeutic effects of PDT and PTT. The in vivo results demonstrated that these nanoparticles exhibited enhanced efficient antitumor effects based on the combined effects of PDT and PTT.

Conclusion: The g-C3N4/SnS2@Au nanoparticles possessed enhanced photothermal properties and PDT effect, good biocompatibility and intense antitumor efficacy. Therefore, these nanoparticles could be considered promising candidates through synergistic PDT/PTT effects upon irradiation with NIR laser for cancer treatment.

背景:基于光催化半导体纳米材料的光疗法在癌症治疗中受到广泛关注。然而,由于光催化活性和可见光响应不足,体内治疗的强效性受到限制:本研究利用氮化石墨(g-C3N4)和二硫化锡(SnS2)设计了一种光催化异质结构,通过水热法合成了 g-C3N4/SnS2 异质结构。此外,在 g-C3N4/SnS2 异质结构表面原位沉积金纳米粒子,形成 g-C3N4/SnS2@Au 纳米粒子:g-C3N4/SnS2@Au 纳米粒子在近红外(NIR)激光照射下通过光动力疗法(PDT)途径(I 型和 II 型)产生强烈的活性氧自由基。由于金纳米粒子的存在,这些纳米粒子在 808 纳米激光照射下表现出更强的光热疗法(PTT)功效,光热转换效率高达 41%。体外研究表明,这些纳米颗粒可通过光动力疗法和光热疗法的协同治疗效应诱导人肝癌癌细胞(HepG2)凋亡(约 80% 的细胞死亡)。体内研究结果表明,这些纳米粒子在 PDT 和 PTT 的联合作用下表现出更高效的抗肿瘤效果:结论:g-C3N4/SnS2@金纳米粒子具有增强的光热特性和PDT效应、良好的生物相容性和强大的抗肿瘤功效。因此,这些纳米粒子在近红外激光照射下具有PDT/PTT协同效应,有望用于癌症治疗。
