RETRACTED ARTICLE: Effect of Paclitaxel-Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles with a Core-Shell Structure on the Human Lung Cancer Cell Line A549

Abstract

A nanodrug delivery system of paclitaxel-mesoporous silica nanoparticles with a core-shell structure (PAC-csMSN) was used to increase the dissolution of paclitaxel (PAC) and improve its treatment of lung cancer. PAC was loaded into the core-shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles (csMSN) by the adsorption equilibrium method and was in an amorphous state in terms of its mesoporous structure. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that csMSN increased the dissolution rate of PAC and improved its lung absorption. The area under concentration-time curve (AUC) value of PAC-csMSN used for pulmonary delivery in rabbits was 2.678-fold higher than that obtained with the PAC. After continuous administration for 3 days, a lung biopsy showed no signs of inflammation. Cell apoptosis results obtained by flow cytometry indicated that PAC-csMSN was more potent than pure PAC in promoting cell apoptosis. An absorption investigation of PAC-csMSN in A549 cells was carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). The obtained results indicated that the cellular uptake was time-dependent and csMSN was uptaken into the cytoplasm. All these results demonstrate that csMSN have the potential to achieve pulmonary inhalation administration of poorly water-soluble drugs for the treatment of lung cancer.

Advanced Nanoparticle-Based Drug Delivery Systems and Their Cellular Evaluation for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment

“…The method of choice, mainly spectroscopic and imaging methods, highly depends on the characteristics of the particles including the surface characteristics, size, shape, and spectroscopic properties (e.g., fluorescence and scattering) [ 167 ]. Several imaging techniques have been applied to visualize the uptake of nanoparticles in the NSCLC cell lines including the confocal fluorescence microscopy [ 168 , 169 , 170 ], transmission electron microscopy [ 168 ], and flow cytometry [ 171 ]. The former is a commonly used technique based on qualitative determination using fluorescence-based nanoparticles.…”

Tennis Rehabilitation Training-Assisted Paclitaxel Nanoparticles in Treatment of Lung Tumor

“…Until the organic solvent is completely removed, it is centrifuged at 23000 r/min for 30 minutes, washed and centrifuged three times, then precipitated with distilled water to remove free paclitaxel and polyvinyl alcohol, and finally stored in the frozen state. Collect all hypertexts at the same time during centrifugation and washing to detect the contents of free packages [14].…”

The influence of mesoporous silica modified with phosphorus and nitrogen‐containing hyperbranched molecules on thermal stability, combustion behavior, and toxic volatiles of epoxy resin

“…Recently, nanoparticles brought a revolution in the field of flame retardant research. Because of a unique mesoporous structure and larger specific surface area, mesoporous silica exhibits a great advantage in eliminating the toxic products formed during the combustion process . Jiang et al prepare HM‐SiO 2 hybrids and mix them with EP to reduce the amount of toxic effluents during the combustion of EP .…”
