Nanotechnology is a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of classical chemotherapy. As a novel approach, dendrimer-coated magnetic nanoparticles (DcMNPs) maintain suitable drug delivery system because of their buildup of functional groups, symmetry perfection, nanosize, and internal cavities. They can also be targeted to the tumor site in a magnetic field. The aim of this study is to obtain an effective targeted delivery system for doxorubicin, using polyamidoamine (PAMAM) DcMNPs. Different generations (G2, G3, G4, and G7) of PAMAM DcMNPs were synthesized. Doxorubicin loading, release, and stability efficiencies in these nanoparticles (NPs) were studied. The results showed that low-generation NPs obtained in this study have pH-sensitive drug release characteristics. G4DcMNP, which releases most of the drug in lower pH, seems to be the most suitable generation for efficient Doxorubicin delivery. Furthermore, application of doxorubicin-loaded G4DcMNPs may help to overcome doxorubicin resistance in MCF-7 cells. On the contrary, G2 and G3DcMNPs would be suitable for the delivery of drugs such as vinca alkaloids (Johnson IS, Armstrong JG, Gorman M, Burnett JP. 1963. Cancer Res 23:13901427.) and taxenes (Clarke SJ, Rivory LP. 1999. Clin Pharmacokinet 36(2):99114.), which show their effects in cytoplasm. The results of this study can provide new insights in the development of pH-sensitive targeted drug delivery systems to overcome drug resistance during cancer therapy.

Nucleic acid-based pattern recognition receptor agonists are effective adjuvants and immunotherapeutic agents. Rather than single applications, ligand combinations could synergistically potentiate immune responses by elevating cytokine and chemokine production via triggering multiple signaling pathways. However, short half-lives of such labile ligands due to nuclease attack and limited cellular uptake due to their structure significantly hamper their in vivo performances. More importantly, simultaneous deli...

Nucleic acid-based Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands are promising adjuvants and immunotherapeutic agents. Combination of TLR ligands potentiates immune response by providing synergistic immune activity via triggering different signaling pathways and may impact antigen dependent T-cell immune memory. However, their short circulation time due to nuclease attack hampers their clinical performance. Liposomes offer inclusion of protein and nucleic acid-based drugs with high encapsulation efficiency and drug load...

Successful drug delivery and overcoming drug resistance are the primary clinical challenges for management and treatment of cancer. The ability to rapidly screen drugs and delivery systems within physiologically relevant environments is critically important; yet is currently limited due to lack of appropriate tumor models. To address this problem, we developed the Tumor-microenvironment-on-chip (T-MOC), a new microfluidic tumor model simulating the interstitial flow, plasma clearance, and transport of the d...

Nanotechnology enabled synthesis of various shapes and morphologies of conventional materials. Nanotubes, nanoparticles, quantum dots and nanowires are the new form of materials. Especially nanowires have gotten great attention due to their unique physical, chemical and optical properties. Superior properties of nanowires are based on their high surface area and two quantum confinement directions. Silver is one of the most conductive metals and it has the highest thermal conductivity. Due to excellent prope...
