RESUMO

Relapse and unresectability have become the main obstacle for further improving hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment effect. Currently, single therapy for HCC in clinical practice is limited by postoperative recurrence, intraoperative blood loss and poor patient outcomes. Multidisciplinary therapy has been recognized as the key to improving the long-term survival rate for HCC. However, the clinical application of HCC synthetic therapy is restricted by single functional biomaterials. In this study, a magnetic nanocomposite hydrogel (CG-IM) with iron oxide nanoparticle-loaded mica nanosheets (Iron oxide nanoparticles@Mica, IM) is reported. This biocompatible magnetic hydrogel integrated high injectability, magnetocaloric property, mechanical robustness, wet adhesion, and hemostasis, leading to efficient HCC multidisciplinary therapies including postoperative tumor margin treatment and percutaneous locoregional ablation. After minimally invasive hepatectomy of HCC, the CG-IM hydrogel can facilely seal the bleeding hepatic margin, followed by magnetic hyperthermia ablation to effectively prevent recurrence. In addition, CG-IM hydrogel can inhibit unresectable HCC by magnetic hyperthermia through the percutaneous intervention under ultrasound guidance.

RESUMO

The prognosis for Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is unfavorable, necessitating the development of new therapeutic approach such as magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) which is induced by magnetic nano-particle (MNPs) drug to bridge the treatment gap. Given the deep location of CCA within the abdominal cavity and proximity to vital organs, accurately predict the individualized treatment effects and safety brought by the distribution of MNPs in tumor will be crucial for the advancement of MHT in CCA. The Mimics software was used in this study to conduct three-dimensional reconstruction of abdominal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic reso-nance imaging images from clinical patients, resulting in the generation of a realistic digital geometric model representing the human biliary tract and its adjacent structures. Subsequently, The COMSOL Multiphysics software was utilized for modeling CCA and calculating the heat transfer law resulting from the multi-regional distribution of MNPs in CCA. The temperature within the central region of irregular CCA measured approximately 46°C, and most areas within the tumor displayed temperatures surpassing 41°C. The temperature of the inner edge of CCA is only 39 ∼ 41℃, however, it can be ameliorated by adjusting the local drug concentration through simulation system. For CCA with diverse morphologies and anatomical locations, the multi-regional distribution patterns of intratumoral MNPs and a slight overlap of drug distribution areas synergistically enhance intratumoral temperature while ensuring treatment safety. The present study highlights the practicality and imperative of incorporating personalized intratumoral MNPs distribution strategy into clinical practice for MHT, which can be achieved through the development of an integrated simulation system which incorporates medical image data and numerical calculations.

RESUMO

Obesity has become an ongoing global crisis, since it increases the risks of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, cognitive decline, and some cancers. Adipose tissue is closely associated with the disorder of lipid metabolism. Several efforts have been made toward the modulation of lipid accumulation, but have been hindered by poor efficiency of cellular uptake, low safety, and uncertain effective dosage. Herein, we design an Fe3O4microsphere-doped composite hydrogel (Fe3O4microspheres @chitosan/ß-glycerophosphate/collagen), termed as Fe3O4@Gel, as the magnetocaloric agent for magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT), aiming to promote lipolysis in white adipocytes. The experimental results show that the obtained Fe3O4@Gel displays a series of advantages, such as fast sol-gel transition, high biocompatibility, and excellent magneto-thermal performance. MHT, which is realized by Fe3O4@Gel subjected to an alternating magnetic field, leads to reduced lipid accumulation, lower triglyceride content, and increased mitochondrial activity in white adipocytes. This work shows that Fe3O4@Gel-mediated MHT can effectively promote lipolysis in white adipocytesin vitro, which provides a potential approach to treat obesity and associated metabolic disorders.

RESUMO

Precise and effective initiation of the apoptotic mechanism in tumor cells is one of the most promising approaches for the treatment of solid tumors. However, current techniques such as high-temperature ablation or gene editing suffer from the risk of damage to adjacent normal tissues. This study proposes a magnetothermal-induced CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system for the targeted knockout of HSP70 and BCL2 genes, thereby enhancing tumor cell apoptosis. The magnetothermal nanoparticulate platform is composed of superparamagnetic ZnCoFe2O4@ZnMnFe2O4 nanoparticles and the modified polyethyleneimine (PEI) and hyaluronic acid (HA) on the surface, on which plasmid DNA can be effectively loaded. Under the induction of a controllable alternating magnetic field, the mild magnetothermal effect (42℃) not only triggers dual-genome editing to disrupt the apoptosis resistance mechanism of tumor cells but also sensitizes tumor cells to apoptosis through the heat effect itself, achieving a synergistic therapeutic effect. This strategy can precisely regulate the activation of the CRISPR-Cas9 system for tumor cell apoptosis without inducing significant damage to healthy tissues, thus providing a new avenue for cancer treatment.

RESUMO

High-grade gliomas (HGG) are the most common primary brain malignancy and continue to be associated with a dismal prognosis (median survival rate of 15-18 months) with standard of care therapy. Magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) is an emerging intervention that leverages the ferromagnetic properties of magnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs) to target cancer cells that are otherwise left behind after resection. We report a novel port device to facilitate localization, delivery, and temperature measurement of MIONPs within a target lesion for MHT therapy. We conducted an in-depth literature and intellectual property review to define specifications of the conceived port device. After setting the design parameters, a thorough collaboration with neurological surgeons guided the iterative modeling process. A prototype was developed using Fusion 360 (Autodesk, San Rafael, CA) and printed on a Form 3 printer (Formlabs, Medford, MA) in Durable resin. The prototype was then tested in a phantom skull printed on a Pro-Jet 660Pro 3D printer (3D Systems, Rock Hill, SC) and a brain model based on mechanical and electrochemical properties of native brain tissue. This phantom underwent MHT heating tests using an alternating magnetic field (AMF) sequence based on current MHT workflow. Successful localization, delivery, and temperature measurement were demonstrated. The purpose of this study was twofold: first, to create and validate the procedural framework for a novel device, providing the groundwork for an upcoming comprehensive animal trial and second, to elucidate a cooperative approach between engineers and clinicians that propels advancements in medical innovation.

RESUMO

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and allied photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy have shown remarkable activity against bacterial pathogens in both planktonic and biofilm forms. There has been little or no resistance development against antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. Furthermore, recent developments in therapies that involve antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in combination with photothermal hyperthermia therapy, magnetic hyperthermia therapy, antibiotic chemotherapy and cold atmospheric pressure plasma therapy have shown additive and synergistic enhancement of its efficacy. This paper reviews applications of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and non-invasive combination therapies often used with it, including sonodynamic therapy and nanozyme enhanced photodynamic therapy. The antimicrobial and antibiofilm mechanisms are discussed. This review proposes that these technologies have a great potential to overcome the bacterial resistance associated with bacterial biofilm formation.

RESUMO

Hyperthermia therapy (HT) of cancer is a well-known treatment approach. With the advent of new technologies, HT approaches are now important for the treatment of brain tumors. We review current clinical applications of HT in neuro-oncology and ongoing preclinical research aiming to advance HT approaches to clinical practice. Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is currently the most widely utilized thermal ablation approach in clinical practice mainly for the treatment of recurrent or deep-seated tumors in the brain. Magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT), which relies on the use of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and alternating magnetic fields (AMFs), is a new quite promising HT treatment approach for brain tumors. Initial MHT clinical studies in combination with fractionated radiation therapy (RT) in patients have been completed in Europe with encouraging results. Another combination treatment with HT that warrants further investigation is immunotherapy. HT approaches for brain tumors will continue to a play an important role in neuro-oncology.

RESUMO

Magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) utilizing heat generated by magnetic nanoparticles under alternating magnetic field (AMF) is an effective local tumor ablation method but can hardly treat metastatic tumors. In this work, we discover that pure iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) with high magnetic saturation intensity after being modified by biocompatible polymers are stable in aqueous solution and could be employed as a supereffective MHT agent to generate sufficient heating under a low-power AFM. Effective MHT ablation of tumors is then achieved, using either locally injected FeNPs or intravenously injected FeNPs with the help of locally applied tumor-focused constant magnetic field to enhance the tumor accumulation of those nanoparticles. We further demonstrate that the combination of FeNP-based MHT with local injection of nanoadjuvant and systemic injection of anticytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (anti-CTLA4) checkpoint blockade would result in systemic therapeutic responses to inhibit tumor metastasis. A robust immune memory effect to prevent tumor recurrence is also observed after the combined MHT-immunotherapy. This work not only highlights that FeNPs with appropriate surface modification could act as a supereffective MHT agent but also presents the great promises of combining MHT with immunotherapy to achieve long-lasting systemic therapeutic outcome after local treatment.

RESUMO

Two major technical challenges of magnetic hyperthermia are quantitative assessment of agent distribution during and following administration and achieving uniform heating of the tumor at the desired temperature without damaging the surrounding tissues. In this study, we developed a multimodal MRI/MPI theranostic agent with active biological targeting for improved magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT). First, by systematically elucidating the magnetic nanoparticle magnetic characteristics and the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic particle imaging (MPI) signal enhancement effects, which are based on the magnetic anisotropy, size, and type of nanoparticles, we found that 18 nm iron oxide NPs (IOs) could be used as superior nanocrystallines for high performance of MRI/MPI contrast agents in vitro. To improve the delivery uniformity, we then targeted tumors with the 18 nm IOs using a tumor targeting peptide, CREKA. Both MRI and MPI signals showed that the targeting agent improves the intratumoral delivery uniformity of nanoparticles in a 4T1 orthotopic mouse breast cancer model. Lastly, the in vivo antitumor MHT effect was evaluated, and the data showed that the improved targeting and delivery uniformity enables more effective magnetic hyperthermia cancer ablation than otherwise identical, nontargeting IOs. This preclinical study of image-guided MHT using cancer-targeting IOs and a novel MPI system paves the way for new MHT strategies.

RESUMO

Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-induced hyperthermia is currently being evaluated for localized prostate cancer. We evaluated the feasibility of tumor-selective delivery of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted MNPs in a murine model with high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after intravenous administration of MNPs at a concentration necessary for hyperthermia. A PSMA-targeted MNP was synthesized and evaluated using T2-weighted MRI, after intravenous administration of 50 mg/kg of the MNP. Significant contrast enhancement ( P < 0.0002, n = 5) was observed in PSMA(+) tumors compared to PSMA(-) tumors 24 h and 48 h after contrast agent administration. Mice were also imaged with near-infrared fluorescence imaging, to validate the MRI results. Two-photon microscopy revealed higher vascular density at the tumor periphery, which resulted in higher  peripheral accumulation of PSMA-targeted MNPs. These results suggest that the delivery of PSMA-targeted MNPs to PSMA(+) tumors is both actively targeted and passively mediated.

RESUMO

Hyperthermia therapy (HT) is the exposure of a region of the body to elevated temperatures to achieve a therapeutic effect. HT anticancer properties and its potential as a cancer treatment have been studied for decades. Techniques used to achieve a localised hyperthermic effect include radiofrequency, ultrasound, microwave, laser and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The use of MNPs for therapeutic hyperthermia generation is known as magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) and was first attempted as a cancer therapy in 1957. However, despite more recent advancements, MHT has still not become part of the standard of care for cancer treatment. Certain challenges, such as accurate thermometry within the tumour mass and precise tumour heating, preclude its widespread application as a treatment modality for cancer. MHT is especially attractive for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and aggressive primary brain cancer in adults, which has no cure. In this review, the application of MHT as a therapeutic modality for GBM will be discussed. Its therapeutic efficacy, technical details, and major experimental and clinical findings will be reviewed and analysed. Finally, current limitations, areas of improvement, and future directions will be discussed in depth.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We have evaluated the hyperthermia efficacy of oleic acid-functionalised Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles (MN-OA) under in vivo conditions and elucidated the underlying mechanism of tumour growth inhibition. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The efficacy and mechanism of tumour growth inhibition by MN-OA-mediated magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) was evaluated in a murine fibrosarcoma tumour model (WEHI-164) using techniques such as TUNEL assay, Western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF) staining and histopathological examination. In addition, bio-distribution of MN-OA in tumour/other target organs and its effect on normal organ function were studied by Prussian blue staining and serum biochemical analysis, respectively. RESULTS: MN-OA-induced MHT resulted in significant inhibition of tumour growth as determined by measurement of tumour volume, as well as by in vivo imaging of tumour derived from luciferase-transfected WEHI-164 cells. Histopathology analysis showed presence of severe apoptosis and reduced tumour cells proliferation, which was further confirmed by TUNEL assay, reduced expression of Ki-67 and enhanced level of cleaved caspase-3, in tumours treated with MHT. Moreover, expression of heat stress marker, Hsp90 and its client protein, AKT/PKB was reduced by ∼50 and 80%, respectively, in tumours treated with MHT as studied by WB and IF staining. Serum analysis suggested insignificant toxicity of MN-OA (in terms of liver and kidney function), which was further correlated with minimal accumulation of MN-OA in target organs. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest the involvement of apoptosis and Hsp90/AKT modulation in MN-OA-mediated MHT-induced tumour growth inhibition.

RESUMO

Despite laparoscopic-guided minimally invasive hepatectomy emerging as the primary approach for resecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), there's still a significant gap in suitable biomaterials that seamlessly integrate with these techniques to achieve effective hemostasis and suppress residual tumors at the surgical margin. Electrospun films are increasingly used for wound closure, yet the employment of prefabricated electrospun films for hemostasis during minimally invasive HCC resection is hindered by prolonged operation times, complexity in implementation, limited visibility during surgery, and inadequate postoperative prevention of HCC recurrence. In this study, we integrated montmorillonite-iron oxide sheets into the PVP polymer framework, enhancing the resulting electrospun polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) /montmorillonite-iron oxide (MI) film (abbreviated as PMI) with robustness, hemostatic capability, and magnetocaloric properties. In contrast to the in vitro prefabricated electrospun films, the electrospun PMI film is designed to be formed in situ on liver wounds under laparoscopic guidance during hepatectomy. This design affords superior wound adaptability, facilitating meticulous wound closure and expeditious hemostasis, thereby simplifying the operative process and ultimately alleviating the workload of healthcare professionals. Moreover, when exposed to an alternating magnetic field, the film can efficiently ablate residual tumors, significantly augmenting the treatment efficacy of HCC.

RESUMO

Traditional cancer treatments are ineffective and cause severe adverse effects. Thus, the development of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has the potential for in situ catalysis of endogenous molecules into highly toxic species, which would then effectively destroy cancer cells. However, the shortage of high-performance nanomaterials hinders the broad clinical application of this approach. In present study, an effective therapeutic platform was developed using a simple hydrothermal method for the in-situ activation of the Fenton reaction within the tumor microenvironment (TME) to generate substantial quantities of •OH and ultimately destroy cancer cells, which could be further synergistically increased by photothermal therapy (PHT) and magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) aided by FeMoO4 nanorods (NRs). The produced FeMoO4 NRs were used as MHT/PHT and Fenton catalysts. The photothermal conversion efficiency of the FeMoO4 NRs was 31.75 %. In vitro and \ experiments demonstrated that the synergistic combination of MHT/PHT/CDT notably improved anticancer efficacy. This work reveals the significant efficacy of CDT aided by both photothermal and magnetic hyperthermia and offers a feasible strategy for the use of iron-based nanoparticles in the field of biomedical applications.

RESUMO

Invasive tumors are difficult to be completely resected in clinical surgery due to the lack of clear resection margins, which greatly increases the risk of postoperative recurrence. However, chemotherapy and radiotherapy as the traditional means of postoperative adjuvant therapy, are limited in postoperative applications, such as multi-drug resistance and low sensitivity, etc. Therefore, an engineered magnesium alloy rod is designed as a postoperative implant to completely remove postoperative residual tumor tissue and inhibit tumor recurrence by gas and mild magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MMHT). As a reactive metal, magnesium alloy responds to the acidic tumor microenvironment by continuously generating hydrogen. The in-situ generation of hydrogen not only protects the surrounding normal tissue, but also enables the magnesium alloy to achieve MMHT under low-intensity alternating magnetic field (AMF). Furthermore, the numerous reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by heat stress will combine with nitric oxide (NO) generated in situ, to produce more toxic reactive nitrogen species (RNS) storm. In summary, engineered magnesium alloy can completely remove residual tumor tissue and inhibit tumor recurrence by MMHT and RNS storm under low-intensity AMF, and the biodegradability of magnesium alloy makes great potential for clinical application.

RESUMO

Magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) is a promising treatment modality for brain tumors using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) locally delivered to the tumor and activated with an external alternating magnetic field (AMF) to generate antitumor effects through localized heating. Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging technology offering strong signal-to-noise for nanoparticle localization. A scoping review was performed by systematically querying Pubmed, Scopus, and Embase. In total, 251 articles were returned, 12 included. Articles were analyzed for nanoparticle type used, MHT parameters, and MPI applications. Preliminary results show that MHT is an exciting treatment modality with unique advantages over current heat-based therapies for brain cancer. Effective application relies on the further development of unique magnetic nanoparticle constructs and imaging modalities, such as MPI, that can enable real-time MNP imaging for improved therapeutic outcomes.

RESUMO

The therapeutic efficacy of bone tumor treatment is primarily limited by inadequate tumor resection, resulting in recurrence and metastasis, as well as the deep location of tumors. Herein, an injectable doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded magnetic alginate hydrogel (DOX@MAH) was developed to evaluate the efficacy of an alternating magnetic field (AMF)-responsive, chemothermal synergistic therapy for multimodality treatment of bone tumors. The prepared hydrogel exhibits a superior drug-loading capacity and a continuous DOX release. This multifunctionality can be attributed to the combined use of DOX for chemotherapy and iron oxide nanoparticle-containing alginate hydrogels as magnetic hyperthermia agents to generate hyperthermia for tumor elimination without the limit on penetration depth. Moreover, the hydrogel can be formed when in contact with the calcium ions, which are abundant in bone tissues; therefore, this hydrogel could perfectly fit the bone defects caused by the surgical removal of the bone tumor tissue, and the hydrogel could tightly attach the surgical margin of the bone to realize a high efficacy residual tumor tissue elimination treated by chemothermal synergistic therapy. The hydrogel demonstrates excellent hyperthermia performance, as evidenced by in vitro cytotoxicity tests on tumor cells. These tests reveal that the combined therapy based on DOX@MAH under AMF significantly induces cell death compared to single magnetic hyperthermia or chemotherapy. In vivo antitumor effects in tumor-bearing mice demonstrate that DOX@MAH injection at the tumor site effectively inhibits tumor growth and leads to tumor necrosis. This work not only establishes an effective DOX@MAH system as a synergistic chemothermal therapy platform for treating bone tumors but also sheds light on the application of alginate to combine calcium ions of the bone to treat bone defect diseases.

RESUMO

Magnetic spinel ferrite nanoparticles (MSF-NPs) are potential candidates for biomedical applications, especially in cancer diagnosis and therapy due to their excellent physiochemical and magnetic properties. In the current study, MSF-NPs were fabricated by sol-gel auto combustion method. The crystal structure and surface morphology were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The magnetic properties were studied by VSM (vibrating sample magnetometer). As increasing Gd3+ concentration, the saturation magnetization values decreased from (17.8-2.3) emu/g, while the coercivity decreased from (499-133) Oe at room temperature. Finally, the fabricated MSF-NPs were tested against anticancer activity by MTT assay. The IC50 = 21.27 µg/mL value was observed, showing the strong antiproliferative activity of these nanoparticles. These results suggested that the obtained MSF-NPs would be useful for remote-controlled hyperthermia therapy for cancer treatment and MRI application due to their excellent magnetic properties. These distinct properties make MSF-NPs most suitable for cancer treatment and bright Contrast Agents (T1-MRI).

RESUMO

Magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) has garnered immense interest due to its exceptional spatiotemporal specificity, minimal invasiveness and remarkable tissue penetration depth. Nevertheless, the limited magnetothermal heating capability and the potential toxicity of metal ions in magnetic materials based on metallic elements significantly impede the advancement of MHT. Herein, we introduce the concept of nonmetallic materials, with graphite (Gra) as a proof of concept, as a highly efficient and biocompatible option for MHT of tumors in vivo for the first time. The Gra exhibits outstanding magnetothermal heating efficacy owing to the robust eddy thermal effect driven by its excellent electrical conductivity. Furthermore, being composed of carbon, Gra offers superior biocompatibility as carbon is an essential element for all living organisms. Additionally, the Gra boasts customizable shapes and sizes, low cost, and large-scale production capability, facilitating reproducible and straightforward manufacturing of various Gra implants. In a mouse tumor model, Gra-based MHT successfully eliminates the tumors at an extremely low magnetic field intensity, which is less than one-third of the established biosafety threshold. This study paves the way for the development of high-performance magnetocaloric materials by utilizing nonmetallic materials in place of metallic ones burdened with inherent limitations.

RESUMO

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are promising in tumor treatments due to their capacity for magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and immuno-related therapies, but still suffer from unsatisfactory tumor inhibition in the clinic. Insufficient hydrogen peroxide supply, glutathione-induced resistance, and high-density extracellular matrix (ECM) are the barriers. Herein, we hierarchically decorated MNPs with disulfide bonds (S-S), dendritic L-arginine (R), and glucose oxidase (GOx) to form a nanosystem (MNPs-SS-R-GOx). Its outer GOx layer not only enhanced the H2O2 supply to produce .OH by Fenton reaction, but also generated stronger oxidants (ONOO-) together with the interfaced R layer. The inner S-S layer consumed glutathione to interdict its reaction with oxidants, thus enhancing CDT effects. Importantly, the generated ONOO- tripled the MMP-9 expression to induce ECM degradation, enabling much deeper penetration of MNPs and benefiting CDT, MHT, and immunotherapy. Finally, the MNPs-SS-R-GOx demonstrated a remarkable 91.7% tumor inhibition in vivo. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are a promising tumor therapeutic agent but with limited effectiveness. Our hierarchical MNP design features disulfide bonds (S-S), dendritic L-arginine (R), and glucose oxidase (GOx), which boosts H2O2 supply for ·OH generation in Fenton reactions, produces potent ONOO-, and enhances chemodynamic therapy via glutathione consumption. Moreover, the ONOO- facilitates the upregulation of matrix metalloprotein expression beneficial for extracellular matrix degradation, which in turn enhances the penetration of MNPs and benefits the antitumor CDT/MHT/immuno-related therapy. In vivo experiments have demonstrated an impressive 91.7% inhibition of tumor growth. This hierarchical design offers groundbreaking insights for further advancements in MNP-based tumor therapy. Its implications extend to a broader audience, encompassing those interested in material science, biology, oncology, and beyond.
