Accumulating evidence suggests that osteoclastogenesis and angiogenesis in subchondral bone are critical destructive factors in the initiation and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Herein, methoxypolyethylene glycol amine (mPEG-NH) modified polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA-PEG NPs) were synthesized for treating early OA. The cytotoxicity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability of PDA-PEG NPs were evaluated. The effects of PDA-PEG NPs on osteoclast differentiation and vessel formation were then evaluated. Further, PDA-PEG NPs were administrated to anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced OA mice. Results demonstrated that PDA-PEG NPs had low toxicity both in vitro and in vivo. PDA-PEG NPs could inhibit osteoclastogenesis via regulating nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. Moreover, PDA-PEG NPs suppressed osteoclast-related angiogenesis via down-regulating platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). In vivo, PDA-PEG NPs inhibited subchondral bone resorption and angiogenesis, further rescuing cartilage degradation in OA mice. In conclusion, we demonstrated that PDA-PEG NPs deployment could be a potential therapy for OA.

Purpose: Compared with traditional photothermal therapy (PTT, >50°C), mild PTT (≤45°C) is a promising strategy for tumor therapy with fewer adverse effects. Unfortunately, its anti-tumor efficacy is hampered by thermoresistance induced by overexpression of heat shock proteins (HSPs). In our previous study, we found bufalin (BU) is a glycolysis inhibitor that depletes HSPs, which is expected to overcome thermotolerance of tumor cells.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage degeneration. Unfortunately, currently available clinical drugs are mainly analgesics and cannot alleviate the development of OA. Kartogenin (KGN) has been found to promote the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into chondrocytes for the treatment of cartilage damage in early OA.

Introduction: This study developed a pancreatic cancer targeted drug delivery system that responds to changes in acidity. The system was based on iron oxide core-shell magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (M-MSNs) to treat pancreatic cancer through combined chemotherapy and starvation therapy.

Methods: Glucose oxidase (Gox) was coupled to the cancer cell surface to reduce glucose availability for cancer cells, exacerbating the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment.

A novel drug delivery system for the treatment of oral cancer was developed using a facile polydopamine (PDA)-based surface modification and a binding mechanism linking folic acid-targeting ligands. The system was able to achieve the following objectives: loading of chemotherapeutic agents, active targeting, pH responsiveness, and prolonged blood circulation. DOX-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (DOX/H20-PLA@PDA NPs) were functionalized with amino-poly (ethylene glycol)-folic acid (HN-PEG-FA) after coating them with PDA to form the targeting combination, DOX/H20-PLA@PDA-PEG-FA NPs.

Although positron emission tomography (PET) imaging products targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have been approved for marketing, clinical challenges remain in the study of its use as a therapeutic target, such as the complex synthesis process and side effects after treatment. Here, we developed a strategy for targeted photothermal therapy (PTT) using PSMA as the target. The results of molecular docking demonstrated that the synthesized PEG modified urea-based PSMA inhibitor (small molecular PSMA inhibitor, PI) PI-PEG has a high affinity energy (binding energy = - 8.
