Self-assembled albumin nanoparticles for combination therapy in prostate cancer

Abstract: Resistance to regular treatment strategies is a big challenge in the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer. Combination of photothermal and photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) with chemotherapy offers unique advantages over monotherapy alone. However, free drugs, such as photosensitizers and chemotherapeutic agents, lack tumor-targeted accumulation and can be easily eliminated from the body. Moreover, most of the PTT drugs are hydrophobic and their organic solvents have in vivo toxicity, thereby limitin… Show more

“…CUR/IR780@SMEDDS treatment with exposure to NIR irradiation exhibited the highest cytotoxicity, consistent with high ROS production. This observation implies that ROS generated by CUR/IR780@SMEDDS upon laser irradiation may induce cellular death, in agreement with a previous report 44. Additionally, in the ROS detection assay, CUR/IR780@SMEDDS treatment without NIR irradiation showed very light fluorescence compared to the control group (Figure 4B), which might be caused by intrinsic ROS generation capacity of curcumin.…”

“…The positive example of using albumin nanoparticles in antitumor treatment is confirmed by a successful application and FDA approval of Abraxane ® (Celegene Corporation, Summit, NJ, USA) (paclitaxel incorporated in albumin nanoparticles for a metastatic breast cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, cervical cancer [66,67,68,69,70]. Albumin based nanoparticles loaded with lapatinib (triple negative breast cancer and HER2-positive breast cancer), gemcitabine (pancreatic cancer), siRNAs (breast and lung cancers), gold nanoparticles for NSCLC, photosensitizers are also being developed [71,72,73,74,75,76,77].…”

“…Similar findings have been previously reported for other nanoformulations co-encapsulating multiple agents. [14,36,37] Finally, the morphology of IR/SBMA-BSA NPs ( Figure 1D) and IR+DOX/SBMA-BSA NPs ( Figure 1E) was analyzed by TEM, suggesting that both formulations have a spherical shape. This spherical morphology has also been observed in other formulations prepared by the nanoprecipitation technique.…”
