Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in cellular metabolism and many oxidative stress related diseases. Oxidative stress results from toxic effects of ROS and plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases like cancers and many important biological processes. It is known that the unique feature of high intracellular ROS level in cancer cells can be considered as target and utilized as a useful cancer-related stimulus to mediate intracellular drug delivery. Therefore, biomaterials responsive to excess level of ROS are of great importance in biomedical applications. In this study, a novel ROS-responsive polymer based on L-methionine poly(ester amide) (Met-PEA-PEG) was designed, synthesized, characterized and self-assembled into nano-micellar-type nanoparticles (NP). The Met-PEA-PEG NP exhibited responsiveness to an oxidative environment. The size and morphology of the nanoparticle changed rapidly in the presence of H2 O2 . The Nile Red dye was loaded into the Met-PEA-PEG NP to demonstrate a H2 O2 concentration induced time-dependent release behavior. The Met-PEA-PEG NP was sensitive to high intracellular ROS level of PC3 prostate cancer cells. Furthermore, the Met-PEA-PEG NP was investigated as...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
