RESUMEN

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising approach for treating tumors that offers multiple advantages. Nevertheless, its practical use in clinical settings faces several limitations, such as suboptimal delivery efficiency, uneven heat distribution, and challenges in predicting optimal treatment duration. In addition, the localized hyperthermia generated by the PTT method to induce cell apoptosis can result in the production of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the release of inflammatory cytokines, which can pose a threat to the healthy tissues surrounding the tumor. To address the above challenges, this work designs an integrated H2 delivery nanoplatform for multimodal imaging H2 thermal therapy. The combination of the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging (FL) agent (CQ4T) and the photothermal and photoacoustic (PA) properties of Ti3C2 (TC) enables real-time monitoring of the tumor area and guides photothermal treatment. Simultaneously, due to the acid-responsive H2 release characteristics of the nanoplatform, H2 can be utilized for synergistic photothermal therapy to eradicate tumor cells effectively. Significantly, acting as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, Ti3C2-BSA-CQ4T-H2 (TCBCH) protects peritumoral normal cells from damage. The proposed technique utilizing H2 gas for combination therapies and multimodal imaging integration exhibits prospects for effective and secure treatment of tumors in future clinical applications.

RESUMEN

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by excessive proliferation of rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) and accumulation of inflammatory cytokines. Exploring the suppression of RASFs and modulation of the RA microenvironment is considered a comprehensive strategy for RA. In this work, specifically activated nanoagents (MAHI NGs) based on the hypoxic and weakly acidic RA microenvironment are developed to achieve a second near-infrared fluorescence (NIR-II FL)/photoacoustic (PA) dual-model imaging-guided multi-treatment. Due to optimal size, the MAHI NGs passively accumulate in the diseased joint region and undergo rapid responsive degradation, precisely releasing functionalized components: endogenous melanin-nanoparticles (MNPs), hydrogen gas (H2), and indocyanine green (ICG). The released MNPs play a crucial role in ablating RASFs within the RA microenvironment through photothermal therapy (PTT) guided by accurate PA imaging. However, the regional hyperthermia generated by PTT may exacerbate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and inflammatory response following cell lysis. Remarkably, under the acidic microenvironment, the controlled release of H2 exhibits precise synergistic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects with MNPs. Moreover, the ICG, the second near-infrared dye currently approved for clinical use, possesses excellent NIR-II FL imaging properties that facilitate the diagnosis of deep tissue diseases and provide the right time-point for PTT.

RESUMEN

We report a reducible copolymer self-assembled with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to deliver doxorubicin (DOX) for cancer therapy. The copolymer of reducible polyamidoamine (rPAA) with poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)/dodecyl amine graft was synthesized by Michael addition. rPAA@SPIONs were formed by the alkyl grafts of reducible copolymers intercalated with the oleic acid layer capped on the surface of magnetite nanocrystals. The intercalating area formed a reservoir for hydrophobic anti-cancer drug (DOX), whilst the PEG moiety in the copolymers helped the nanoparticle well-dispersible in aqueous solution. We employed two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) and coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS) to investigate drug delivery in intra-cellular structures of live cells, and used Vivaview(®) technique to show real-time inhibition efficacy of nanoparticles in live cells. rPAA@SPIONs present efficiently drug loading with reducible responsibility in vitro tests. Finally, rPAA@SPIONs were tested in mice with xenograft MDA-MB-231 breast tumor though i.v. injection and inhibited tumor growth efficiently. MRI was used to monitor nanoparticles aggregation in tumor site. Histology and Prussian blue on kidney, liver, and heart in mice indicated that DOX/rPAA@SPIONs showed no significant toxicity for mice organs after 24 days treatment.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expressions of different forms of ROS fusions in Chinese patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). METHODS: RT-PCR was employed to examine formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded CCA samples from stage I-IV patients for detection of ROS fusions involving Fused in Glioblastoma (FIG), solute carrier protein (SLC34A2) and major histocompatibility complex class II invariant chain (CD74). Serpin peptidase inhibitor clade A member 1 (SERPINA1) was detected as the reference gene. RESULTS: In all the 56 CCA samples, 80.4% (45/56) were positive for SERPINA1 expression as evaluable samples. Of these evaluable samples, none expressed the ROS fusions. CONCLUSION: ROS fusions are not common in Chinese CCA patients.

RESUMEN

Metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1) is a newly identified oncogene, and little is known about its role in gastric cancer (GC). Our study was performed to investigate whether MACC1 influences the prognosis of GC patients and to explore the potential mechanisms involved. MACC1 expression was verified to be higher in GC tissues than in adjacent nontumorous tissues by Western blotting. A retrospective analysis of 361 GC patients (Stages I-IV) revealed that higher MACC1 expression was associated with more advanced disease, more frequent postoperative recurrence, more metastases and a higher mortality rate. The disease-free survival of Stage I-III patients and overall survival of Stage-IV patients were significantly worse when their tumors showed high MACC1 expression. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, MACC1 overexpression and downregulation were established in two GC cell lines (BGC-823 and MKN-28 cells). MACC1 overexpression significantly accelerated tumor growth and facilitated metastasis in athymic mice. MACC1 also promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of both GC cell lines. Moreover, gastric MACC1 mRNA expression levels were significantly correlated with markers of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in patients with GC. MACC1 overexpression upregulated mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor and induced changes to markers of EMT, whereas silencing of MACC1 reversed all these changes. These findings provide some novel insights into the role of MACC1, a gene that contributes to a poor prognosis of GC by promoting tumor cell proliferation and invasion as well as the EMT.
