Improved drug delivery has therefore recently been achieved through the versatile physico-chemical properties of nanocrystals (NCs) in targeted cancer therapies. Here, nanocrystalization was used with xanthatin, a not highly water-soluble natural sesquiterpene lactone compound that possesses anti-tumour properties and which was recently investigated for potential use in the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. Given that tumour-promoting inflammation is a hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC), and that epidemiological studies associated inflammatory biomarkers to CRC poor prognosis and therapy resistance, the anti-inflammatory properties of xanthatin NCs were assessed in 2D monolayers and in 3D spheroids of a human HT29 CRC cell model. The 3D spheroids being a model recapitulating a cancer stem cells and chemoresistant phenotype. HT29 2D monolayer cell response was first tested against four pro-inflammatory inducers including phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), transforming growth factor beta, and Concanavalin A. Of these inducers, HT29 cell response to TNFα resulted in the most elevated expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 which was prevented by commercial xanthatin along with the phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and of IkappaB (IκB). Alteration of 3D spheroids formation and of the inflammatory/immunity transcriptomic signature was also found better altered by xanthatin NCs in comparison to commercial xanthatin and the isolated molecule. Collectively, our data indicate that xanthatin nanocrystallization did not alter the potential in vitro anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties of xanthatin against a 3D CRC chemoresistance cellular model. These properties make NCs a significant advancement in the field of cancer theranostics to improve patient outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51136,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Research Letters","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s11671-025-04257-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach holds potential for the noninvasive introduction of diamond sensors into living cell organelles, enabling sensing of local structural and temperature changes with minimal disturbance.

Lattice quality and assembly kinetics are controlled by various environmental parameters, including the employed surface, the assembly temperature, and the ionic composition of the buffer, with optimized parameter combinations resulting in highly ordered lattices that can span surface areas of several cm<sup>2</sup>. Established assembly protocols, however, employ assembly times ranging from hours to days. Here, the assembly of highly ordered hexagonal DNA origami lattices at mica surfaces is observed within few minutes using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM). A moderate increase in the DNA origami concentration enables this rapid assembly. While forming a regular lattice takes 10 min at a DNA origami concentration of 4 nM, this time is shortened to about 2 min at a concentration of 6 nM. Increasing the DNA origami concentration any further does not result in shorter assembly times, presumably because DNA origami arrival at the mica surface is diffusion-limited. Over short length scales up to 1 µm, lattice order is independent of the DNA origami concentration. However, at larger length scales of a few microns, a DNA origami concentration of 10 nM yields slightly better order than lower and higher concentrations. Therefore, 10 nM can be considered the optimum concentration for the rapid assembly of highly ordered DNA origami lattices.
