Engaging the immune sensing Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) pathway has emerged as a potentially powerful approach to cancer therapy. However, current STING agonists lack stability and specificity, resulting in toxic adverse effects disappointing patient outcomes. Therefore, novel delivery vehicles are needed mitigate negative results improve efficacy agonists. Here we discuss innovative particle-based strategies how they have increased therapeutic seen with We review ultrasound-responsive vehicles, pH-responsive particles, inorganic carriers for extended release, particles that act both and/or drug carriers. Further optimization these can enable clinical use

Nitric oxide (NO) regulates vascular homeostasis and plays a key role in revascularization angiogenesis. The endothelial nitric synthase (eNOS) enzyme catalyzes NO production cells. Overexpression of the eNOS gene has been implicated pathologies with dysfunctional angiogenic processes, such as cancer. Therefore, modulating expression using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) represents viable strategy for antitumor therapy. siRNAs are highly specific to target gene, thus reducing off-target effects. Given widespread distribution endothelium crucial physiological eNOS, localized delivery nucleic acid affected area is essential. development an efficient eNOS-siRNA carrier capable controlled release imperative targeting regions, particularly those associated tumor growth. Thus, this study aims utilize ultrasound-mediated microbubble destruction (UMMD) technology cationic microbubbles loaded enhance transfection efficiency improve siRNA delivery, thereby preventing sprouting facilitated by UMMD was assessed bEnd.3 Synthesis protein were also evaluated. silencing model angiogenesis assayed rat aortic ring assay. results showed that from 6 24 h, fluorescent twice high lipofection.

Abstract Locally opening up the endothelial barrier in a safe and controlled way is beneficial for drug delivery into extravascular tissue. Although ultrasound-induced microbubble oscillations can affect integrity, mechanism remains unknown. Here we uncover new role F-actin microbubble-mediated gap formation. Unique simultaneous high-resolution confocal microscopy ultra-high-speed camera imaging (10 million frames per second) reveal that oscillating microbubbles (radius 1.3-3.8 µm) induce sonoporation all cells which remodeling occurred. disruption only mainly resulted tunnel formation (75%) stress fiber severing recoil cell-cell contact within 15 s upon treatment (54%) (15%). Stress occurred when fibers were reach of microbubble’s maximum radius during oscillation, requiring normal forces ≥230 nN. Together, these findings novel delivery, associates with underlying cytoskeletal organization.
