Abstract
Targeted drug delivery for primary brain tumors, particularly gliomas, is currently a promising approach to reduce patient relapse rates. The use of substitutable scaffolds, which enable the sustained release of clinically relevant doses of anticancer medications, offers the potential to decrease the toxic burden on the patient's organism while also enhancing their quality of life and overall survival. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are being actively explored as promising agents for detection and monitoring of tumor growth, and as therapeutic agents that can provide isolated therapeutic effects and enhance standard chemotherapy. Our study is focused on the feasibility of constructing scaffolds using methacrylated hyaluronic acid with additional impregnation of UCNPs and the chemotherapeutic drug temozolomide (TMZ) for glioma treatment. The designed scaffolds have been demonstrated their efficacy as a drug and UCNPs delivery system for gliomas. Using the aggressive orthotopic glioma model in vivo, it was found that the scaffolds possess the capacity to ameliorate neurological disorders in mice. Moreover, upon intracranial co-implantation of the scaffolds and glioma cells, the constructs disintegrate into distinct segments, augmenting the release of UCNPs into the surrounding tissue and concurrently reducing postoperative damage to brain tissue. The use of TMZ in the scaffold composition contributed to restraining glioma development and the reduction of tumor invasiveness. Our findings unveil promising prospects for the application of photopolymerizable biocompatible scaffolds in the realm of neuro-oncology.
期刊介绍：
Frontiers in Chemistry is a high visiblity and quality journal, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the chemical sciences. Field Chief Editor Steve Suib at the University of Connecticut is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to academics, industry leaders and the public worldwide.
Chemistry is a branch of science that is linked to all other main fields of research. The omnipresence of Chemistry is apparent in our everyday lives from the electronic devices that we all use to communicate, to foods we eat, to our health and well-being, to the different forms of energy that we use. While there are many subtopics and specialties of Chemistry, the fundamental link in all these areas is how atoms, ions, and molecules come together and come apart in what some have come to call the “dance of life”.
All specialty sections of Frontiers in Chemistry are open-access with the goal of publishing outstanding research publications, review articles, commentaries, and ideas about various aspects of Chemistry. The past forms of publication often have specific subdisciplines, most commonly of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistries, but these days those lines and boxes are quite blurry and the silos of those disciplines appear to be eroding. Chemistry is important to both fundamental and applied areas of research and manufacturing, and indeed the outlines of academic versus industrial research are also often artificial. Collaborative research across all specialty areas of Chemistry is highly encouraged and supported as we move forward. These are exciting times and the field of Chemistry is an important and significant contributor to our collective knowledge.
