研究目的
To develop a multifunctional nanoplatform based on MoS2 nanosheets decorated with CuS and functionalized with PEG for dual-responsive drug delivery and enhanced chemo-photothermal therapy in cancer treatment.
研究成果
The CuS-MoS2-SH-PEG nanocomposite demonstrates high drug loading capacity, excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, pH and NIR-responsive drug release, biocompatibility, and synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy effects, making it a promising platform for cancer treatment with potential for further development.
研究不足
The study is limited to in vitro experiments using MCF-7 cells; in vivo studies and broader cancer cell lines were not explored. The cellular uptake, while enhanced, was less than systems with targeting ligands, indicating room for improvement in specificity.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing CuS-MoS2-SH-PEG nanocomposites through chemical exfoliation, CuS deposition, and PEG functionalization to create a dual-responsive (pH and NIR) drug delivery system for synergistic cancer therapy.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
MCF-7 cancer cells were used for in vitro cytotoxicity and uptake studies, with materials characterized using various techniques.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included TEM (JEM-2100), XPS (Escalab 250Xi), XRD (Bruker D8 Advance), FT-IR (Nicolet Nexus 870), UV-vis spectroscopy (UV3600), DLS (Brookhaven BI-200SM), zeta potential analyzer (ZS90 Zetasizer), laser device (ADR-1860), microplate reader (MULTSIKAN MK3), and confocal microscope (Nikon Eclipse Ti-S). Materials included MoS2 powder, CuCl2, Na2S, SH-PEG, DOX, and cell culture reagents.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Steps included preparation of MoS2 nanosheets, CuS-MoS2, functionalization with PEG, drug loading with DOX, characterization, in vitro drug release studies under different pH and NIR conditions, photothermal effect measurements, cytotoxicity assays using MTT, and cellular uptake studies with CLSM.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using UV-vis spectroscopy for drug quantification, statistical analysis with ANOVA and Tukey's test, and calculations for photothermal conversion efficiency.
