Harnessing photochemical internalization with dual degradable nanoparticles for combinatorial photo–chemotherapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Light-controlled drug delivery systems constitute an appealing means to direct and confine drug release spatiotemporally at the site of interest with high specificity. However, the utilization of light-activatable systems is hampered by the lack of suitable drug carriers that respond sharply to visible light stimuli at clinically relevant wavelengths. Here, a new class of self-assembling, photo- and pH-degradable polymers of the polyacetal family is reported, which is combined with photochemical internalization to control the intracellular trafficking and release of anticancer compounds. The polymers are synthesized by simple and scalable chemistries and exhibit remarkably low photolysis rates at tunable wavelengths over a large range of the spectrum up to the visible and near infrared regime. The combinational pH and light mediated degradation facilitates increased therapeutic potency and specificity against model cancer cell lines in vitro. Increased cell death is achieved by the synergistic activity of nanoparticle-loaded anticancer compounds and reactive oxygen species accumulation in the cytosol by simultaneous activation of porphyrin molecules and particle photolysis.

The overall objective of the research was to investigate the utility of photochemical internalization (PCI) for the enhanced nonviral transfection of genes into glioma cells. The PCI-mediated introduction of the tumor suppressor gene phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) or the cytosine deaminase (CD) pro-drug activating gene into U87 or U251 glioma cell monolayers and multicell tumor spheroids...
متن کاملpH-degradable PVA-based nanogels via photo-crosslinking of thermo-preinduced nanoaggregates for controlled drug delivery.
pH-Degradable PVA nanogels, which are prepared by photo-crosslinking thermo-preinduced PVA nanoaggregates in water without any surfactants or toxic organic solvents, are used for intracellular PTX release and anticancer treatment. These nanogels fast degraded at mildly acidic conditions with a pH-triggered PTX release, and the degradation products are only native PVA and poly(hydroxyethyl acryl...

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the world and in Iran. Sono- photodynamic therapy is a new modality for cancer treatment. In this method, a sensitizer that activates by ultrasound and light produces photochemical and synchochemical activities, thereby causing the toxicity and destruction of tumor cells. The use of dual frequency ultrasound...
متن کاملCytosolic delivery of LDL nanoparticle cargo using photochemical internalization.
Following cellular delivery, most drugs must escape endosomes and lysosomes and reach the cytosol to be effective. This is particularly significant for nanoparticles, which can carry a large drug payload, but typically accumulate in endosomes and lysosomes. One attractive solution is to use light-triggered release, which can provide efficient endolysosomal membrane disruption and spatiotemporal...

Photochemical Nitric oxide releasing composite materials (Photo-NORMs) were prepared using biocompatible polymers and the photochemical nitric oxide donor complex (CrONO). We have demonstrated nitric oxide (NO) release from the solid composites for extended (>30 hours) and controlled (20-100 pmoles s(-1)) durations after visible light irradiation. Quantitation of the efficiency of NO release fr...
