Low-intensity ultrasound (LIUS) and microbubbles (MBs) has been demonstrated as an adjunctive technique capable of enhancing drug delivery and suppressing tumor metastasis. However, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether LIUS + MBs alone could suppress tumor metastasis and to explore its mechanism of action through disruption of the cytoskeletal remodeling in filopodia, an essential structure in the early stages of cancer cell dissemination. Based on cell-based experiments to determine the optimal parameters, our results showed LIUS + MBs significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells. <em>In vivo</em>, LIUS + MBs treatment markedly suppressed the overall metastasis in the orthotopic ovarian cancer model, and in both the intraperitoneal and hematogenous metastatic models established by injecting pretreated cells. Morphologically, such treatment led to a notable reduction in the length and number of filopodia, while the number of lamellipodia remained unaffected. At the molecular level, LIUS + MBs disturbed filopodia formation and the metastatic potential of ovarian cancer cells by suppressing the activation of Cdc42, a key regulator of cytoskeletal dynamics. The inhibitory effect was reversed by the overexpression of Cdc42CA. Further proteomic and bioinformatics analysis implied that LIUS + MBs may reduce Cdc42 activity by upregulating the expression of GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). Our research provides novel insight into the mechanism by which LIUS + MBs can inhibit tumor metastasis, highlighting its role in disturbing the Cdc42-mediated cytoskeletal remodelling of filopodia.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":279,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces","volume":"253 ","pages":"Article 114724"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143883271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A protein corona forms around the particles in these usually complex matrices, primarily with a first contact at surface-active proteins.

It is also unclear whether the protein corona can \"mask\" the particles, mimic protein properties, and induce cytotoxic effects when internalized by mammalian cells. This study aimed at investigating the physicochemical properties of model particle-protein complexes, the structural changes of adsorbed proteins, and their effects on Caco-2 cells. Whey protein β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) was used as a well-characterized model protein and studied in a mixture with nanoparticles of varying polarity, specifically silica, polylactic acid (PLA), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The physicochemical analyses included measurements of the hydrodynamic diameter and the zeta potential, while the protein conformational changes were analyzed using Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and intrinsic fluorescence. Cellular uptake in Caco-2 cells was assessed through flow cytometry, cell viability was measured using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium-bromide (MTT) assay, and cellular impedance was analyzed with xCELLigence® technology. The results indicated that β-Lg had the highest affinity for hydrophilic silica particles, forming silica-β-Lg complexes and large aggregates through electrostatic interactions. The affinity decreased for PLA and was lowest for hydrophobic PET, which formed smaller complexes. Adsorption onto silica caused partial unfolding and refolding of β-Lg. The silica-β-Lg complexes were internalized by Caco-2 cells, impairing cell proliferation. In contrast, PLA- and PET-protein complexes were not internalized, though PLA complexes slightly reduced cell viability.

The results showed that structural orientation significantly influences release kinetics. Resveratrol (RES) is able to form inclusion complexes with β-CD in two possible orientations: M-form (Mono-hydroxyl group toward the primary rim of β-CD) and D-form (Di-hydroxyl group toward the secondary rim of β-CD). M-form inclusion structures facilitated RES release more efficiently than D-form configurations. Cavity-specific lipid interactions are the dominant driver of the release process. Meanwhile, it was determined that the β-CD/RES inclusion complex exhibited greater stability than γ-CD/RES and demonstrated superior release efficiency at the lipid membrane surface in comparison to α-CD/RES. This suggests that the cavity size of β-CD is more suitable for delivering resveratrol.

Until now, only Permeapad® with phosphatidylcholine, the most abundant phospholipid in cell membranes, has been described in literature.

This study presents a combination of experimental and computational techniques to study and explain the transport of molecules across the Permeapad® barrier. For this, we investigated Permeapad® variants with other phospholipid compositions including phosphatidylethanolamine, the second most abundant phospholipid in cell membranes, and phosphatidylglycerol, representing a phospholipid with a negatively charged headgroup by measuring the permeability of three drugs, metoprolol (a weak base), naproxen (a weak acid) and hydrocortisone (a non-ionizable drug). Phospholipid composition only affected the permeability of metoprolol significantly. We used molecular dynamics simulations to understand the underlying mechanisms of the permeability differences extracting several descriptors of membrane properties and predicting permeability.
