Targeting Cancer using Polymeric Nanoparticle mediated Combination Chemotherapy
Cancer forms exhibiting poor prognosis have been extensively researched for therapeutic solutions. One of the conventional modes of treatment, chemotherapy shows inadequacy in its methodology due to imminent side-effects and acquired drug-resistance by cancer cells. However, advancements in nanotechnology have opened new frontiers to significantly alleviate collateral damage caused by current t...
متن کاملNanoparticle-mediated targeting of MAPK signaling predisposes tumor to chemotherapy.
The MAPK signal transduction cascade is dysregulated in a majority of human tumors. Here we report that a nanoparticle-mediated targeting of this pathway can optimize cancer chemotherapy. We engineered nanoparticles from a unique hexadentate-polyD,L-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid polymer chemically conjugated to PD98059, a selective MAPK inhibitor. The nanoparticles are taken up by cancer cells t...
متن کاملPolymeric Nanoparticle-Mediated Gene Delivery for Lung Cancer Treatment
In recent years, researchers have focused on targeted gene therapy for lung cancer, using nanoparticle carriers to overcome the limitations of conventional treatment methods. The main goal of targeted gene therapy is to develop more efficient therapeutic strategies by improving the bioavailability, stability, and target specificity of gene therapeutics and to reduce off-target effects. Polymer-...
متن کاملMagnetic nanoparticle-conjugated polymeric micelles for combined hyperthermia and chemotherapy.
Magnetic nanoparticle-conjugated polymeric micelles (MNP-PMs) consisting of poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactide) (PEG-PLA) and iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared and used as nanocarriers for combined hyperthermia and chemotherapy. Doxorubicin (DOX) was encapsulated in MNP-PMs, and an alternating magnetic field (AMF) resulted in an increase to temperature within a suitable range for inducing ...
متن کاملIdarubicin-bromelain combination sensitizes cancer cells to conventional chemotherapy
Objective(s): The primary cytotoxic effects of anticancer drugs like idarubicin, a chemotherapeutic agent, are not limited to neoplastic cells; they also produce similar effects in normal cells. In this study, we hypothesized that the combination of idarubicin-bromelain could make cancer cells more susceptible to cytotoxicity and genotoxicity.Material...
