Abstract

The toxicity of doxorubicin (DOX), especially in terms of cardiotoxicity, has been a common problem in its clinical use. In our studies, we synthesized and characterized DOX-SiO2 nanocomposites. In the in vitro experiments, DOX-SiO2 nanocomposites could more effectively induce apoptosis, inhibit colony formation, and inhibit the proliferation of the cancer cell line HeLa compared with free DOX. Furthermore, ultrasound could dramatically enhance these abilities of DOX-SiO2 nanocomposites. The in vivo studies showed that DOX-SiO2 nanocomposites increased the concentration of DOX in the tumour region and decreased the concentration of DOX in normal tissues. Additionally, DOX-SiO2 nanocomposites under ultrasound could inhibit growth and increase the apoptosis of xenograft tumour cells more effectively than DOX-SiO2 nanocomposites alone. Meanwhile, the cardiotoxicity of DOX was significantly reduced by DOX-SiO2 nanocomposites. The difference was more obvious in DOX-SiO2 nanocomposites under ultrasound. Moreover, prolonging the ultrasound time augments the antitumour efficacy and attenuates the toxicity of DOX-SiO2 nanocomposites. In summary, we concluded that DOX-SiO2 nanocomposites under ultrasound decrease DOX-induced toxicity in ...Continue Reading

Cancer Imaging

Imaging techniques, including CT and MR, have become essential to tumor detection, diagnosis, and monitoring. Here is the latest research on cancer imaging.

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

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.

Cardiotoxicity

Cardiotoxicity refers to the muscle damage or dysfunction of heart electrophysiology caused by drug intake or due to disease complications. It is a well-known side effect of several cytotoxic drugs, especially of the anthracyclines and can lead to long term morbidity. Here is the latest research.
