Researcher says the nanoplatform 'shows promising results for breast cancer treatment'.
The team has developed an intelligent nanoplatform that can simultaneously target multiple factors associated with, especially helpful in the treatment of breast cancer. Many cancers can be cured if detected early and treated effectively.
The nanoplatform is called an ‘aircraft carrier,’ as each particle performs a unique task. The researchers used a polymer as a deck and modified its surface with targeting agent LyP-1 peptide, which can selectively bind toand induce cell death. This helps the nano platform to navigate and find the tumors, which the team said were the ‘bomb targets.’
The team then combined copper sulfide and DMXAA, a drug that cuts tumor vascular cells, into the nano platform. The research team toldthat when the CuS nanoparticles are exposed to near-infrared light, they generate heat that can destroy cancer cells through a process called photothermal therapy. The DMXAA helps induce the death of tumor vascular cells, ultimately leading to the death of the tumor tissue.
“The nanoplatform has been tested in vitro and shows promising results for breast cancer treatment. We hope that this technology can be further developed for clinical use in the future.” The lead authors of the research - Shi Xiangyang and Cao Xueyan - have been focusing on using nano-biotechnology in cancer treatment for over a decade., that covers science at the nano and microscale.Development of intelligent nanoplatforms that can simultaneously target multiple factors associated with tumor growth and metastasis remains an extreme challenge.
