Article Abstract
Background: Doxorubicin-loaded hollow gold nanospheres (Dox@HAuNS) are a promising technology for simultaneous trans-arterial tumor-targeted chemotherapy delivery and thermal ablation. We evaluated the efficacy of intra-arterial delivery of Dox@HAuNS followed by photothermal ablation (PTA) in a rabbit model of liver cancer. Adult New Zealand white rabbits (N=25) were inoculated with VX2 tumors into the left lobe of the liver. The animals were then randomized to sham surgery (N=5), PTA only (N=3), Dox@HAuNS only (N=5), HAuNS + PTA (N=5), and Dox@HAuNS + PTA (N=7). Nanoparticles were delivered as an emulsion with Lipiodol (Guerbet, France) via a trans-arterial approach. Following nanoparticle delivery, PTA was performed using an 808nm fibered laser at 1.5W for 3 minutes. Thermography during PTA demonstrated a sustained elevation in tumoral temperature in both HAuNS + laser and Dox@HAuNS + laser treatment groups relative to animals that underwent laser treatment without prior nanoparticle delivery.
Results: There was a significant decrease in tumor volumes in all three treatment arms relative to control arms ( = 0.004). Concentrations of intratumoral doxorubicin were significantly greater in animals treated with laser compared to those that were not treated with laser (< 0.01).
Conclusions: Doxorubicin-loaded HAuNS is a promising therapeutic agent for dual ablation/chemoembolization treatment of liver cancer.

Herein, a doxorubicin-loaded carbon-based drug delivery system, denoted as PC-DOX, composed of pH-responsive imine bond was developed for the tumor-targeted treatment. PC-DOX with a uniform particle size around 180 nm was synthesized by coating of as-synthesized hollow carbon-based nanoparticles (NPs) with dialdehyde PEG, which was used as carrier to attach DOX covalently through dynamic covalent bond. The unique structure endowed the advantages of specific tumor targeting and tumor microenvironment (TME) specific drug delivery capacity with PC-DOX.

Mesenchymal stem cell membrane (MSCM)-coated biomimetic doxorubicin-loaded hollow gold nanoparticles were fabricated and decorated with MUC1 aptamer in order to provide smart theranostic platform. The prepared targeted nanoscale biomimetic platform was extensively characterized and evaluated in terms of selective delivery of DOX and CT-scan imaging. The fabricated system illustrated spherical morphology with 118 nm in diameter.

Biopolymers with excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability show great potential for designing drug nanocarriers, while it's difficult to fabricate smart vehicles with multiple switching (size, surface, shape) based on biopolymers alone. Here, we report a dual size/charge-switchable and multi-responsive doxorubicin-loaded gelatin-based nanocluster (DOX-icluster) for improved tumor penetration and targeted anti-tumor therapy. The DOX-icluster was electrostatically assembled from folic acid and dimethylmaleic anhydride modified gelatin (FA-GelDMA) and small-sized DOX-loaded NH modified hollow mesoporous organosilicon nanoparticles (DOX-HMON-NH).

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most serious bone malignancy, and the survival rate has not significantly improved in the past 40 years. Thus, it is urgent to develop a new strategy for OS treatment. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) as a novel therapeutic method can destroy cancer cells by converting endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H O ) into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH).

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are elongated, hollow cylindrical nanotubes made of sp2 carbon. MWCNTs have attracted significant attention in the area of drug delivery due to their high drug-loading capacity and large surface area. Furthermore, they can be linked to bioactive ligands molecules via covalent and noncovalent bonds that allow for the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs such as doxorubicin.
