- Mammalian diabetes mellitus which contains altered microenvironment always impairs diverse cellular processes such as osteogenesis, angiogenesis and tissue regeneration via different mechanisms. For researches in materials science, modifying the ability of osteogenesis and angiogenesis in dental implants shows its significant importance. Nano-structure designing is considered as a facile strategy to improve the surface bioactivity of the implants. In this study, the nanorod-structured hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on Ti-6Al-4V implants were facilely designed by the combination of plasma-spraying and hydrothermal treatment via varying reaction media. Intriguingly, hydrothermal treatment eliminated the glassy phase and impurity phases of HA coatings, and nanorod-structured surface was successfully constructed under hydrothermal treatment in Na3PO4 solution. Additionally, the HA coatings with nanorod-structured surface effectively promoted the adhesion and proliferation and further enhanced osteogenic differentiation of DM-rBMSCs in vitro, Moreover, the osseointegration of Ti-6Al-4V implants with nanorod-structured HA coating was also enhanced in diabetes mellitus rabbit model in vivo. Therefore, the nano-structured surface modification of HA coating on Ti-6Al-4V implants could target pathological bone loss via strengthening osteogenesis and angiogenesis and further potentially used as a therapeutic coating to promote diabetic osteointegration.

- Chemotherapy has been one of the major standard treatments for a variety of cancers. cis-Dichlorodiamminoplatiunum(II) (cisplatin, CDDP), as one of the anticancer agents, demonstrated excellent efficacy against tumor and has been an indispensable component in chemotherapy, chemoradiation, chemo-molecular targeted therapy and chemo-immunotherapy. However, its therapeutic concentration was limited since its inevitable toxicity. Previously, we have constructed CDDP-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) with mixture of poly(ethyleneglycol)-polycaprolactone (PEG-PCL) and polycarprolactone (HO-PCL) by a facile method. The most optimal proportion of the two copolymers was selected through a series of physical, chemical, cytological and histological evaluations. In the present study, we explored the mechanisms of NPs and observed the in vivo antitumor effect after administrating CDDP-loaded PEG-PCL NPs. Positron emission tomography as well as computed tomography (PET/CT) were adopted for detecting tumoral metabolic activity. Images from fluorescence microscope revealed superior cellular uptake of CDDP-loaded NPs with rhodamine B aggregated intracellularly in cancer cells. Similar apoptotic rates between free CDDP group and CDDP-loaded NPs group was measured by flow cytometry. Tumor volumes and murine weights confirmed the superiority of CDDP-loaded NPs in therapeutic efficacy as compared with free CDDP. Blood tests showed milder side effects in CDDP-loaded nanoparticle group. PET/CT images illustrated less uptake intensity of FDG in mice received CDDP-loaded NPs than free CDDP. Our results suggest that PEG-PCL/PCL NPs could be a promising antitumor drug carrier for CDDP delivery with solid efficacy and minor side effects.

- Colloidal gold nanoparticles intensify the anticancer response of the drug bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor. Polyethylene glycol-coated gold nanoparticles and the drug show a synergistic effect in reducing the cell viability of prostate cancer cell line Du145. It was observed a significant cell viability reduction with bortezomib concentrations as low as 4 nM. The proteasome inhibitor alone had to be present at concentrations in the ranger of 120 nM to induce identical cytotoxicity response. These findings demonstrate that gold nanoparticles enhancing the permeation and retention (EPR) effect in Du145 cells and open the possibility to decrease multi-drug resistance (MDR). The in vitro results of functionalized gold nanoparticles, internalized by cancer cells, pave the way for a more efficient proteasome inhibitor delivery and release in adenocarcinoma cells.
