Sonodynamic therapy using water-dispersed TiO2-polyethylene glycol compound on glioma cells: comparison of cytotoxic mechanism with photodynamic therapy.
Sonodynamic therapy is expected to be a novel therapeutic strategy for malignant gliomas. The titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) nanoparticle, a photosensitizer, can be activated by ultrasound. In this study, by using water-dispersed TiO(2) nanoparticles, an in vitro comparison was made between the photodynamic and sonodynamic damages on U251 human glioblastoma cell lines. Water-dispersed TiO(2) nanopar...
متن کاملTargeted Nanoparticles for Cancer Therapy
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 84 million people will die of cancer between 2005-2015 [1]. According using the WHO mortality database it has been estimated the total number of cancer deaths in the European Union (EU) and in 2012 is predicted to be 1283101, of which 717398 men and 565703 women [2]. The most common types of cancer that will be diagnosed are lung (C33-C34), int...
متن کاملFunctionalized TiO2 nanoparticles labelled with 225Ac for targeted alpha radionuclide therapy
The 225Ac radioisotope exhibits very attractive nuclear properties for application in radionuclide therapy. Unfortunately, the major challenge for radioconjugates labelled with 225Ac is that traditional chelating moieties are unable to sequester the radioactive daughters in the bioconjugate which is critical to minimize toxicity to healthy, non-targeted tissues. In the present work, we propose ...
متن کاملSonodynamic Therapy Using Protoporphyrin IX Conjugated to Gold Nanoparticles: An In Vivo Study on a Colon Tumor Model
Objective(s) Sonodynamic therapy is a physical treatment which utilizes ultrasound waves with an appropriate sensitizer such as protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). The activation of sensitizer depends on cavitation, and therefore, high intensity ultrasound is an important necessity. Beside, high intensity ultrasound can induce side effects on the healthy tissues which have surrounded tumor. The particle...
متن کاملPreparation and characterization of TiO2 nanoparticles surface-modified by octadecyltrimethoxysilane
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles surface-modified by octadecyltrimethoxysilane (commercial name WD-11) are prepared via in situ surface-modification in dehydrated ethanol at room temperature. As-obtained TiO2 nanoparticles are characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, thermogravimetric, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope. The tribological proper...
