Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan that exists in living systems, and it is a major component of the extracellular matrix. The hyaluronic acid receptor CD44 is found at low levels on the surface of epithelial, haematopoietic, and neuronal cells and is overexpressed in many cancer cells particularly in tumour initiating cells. HA has been therefore used as ligand attached to HA-lipid-based nanovectors for the active targeting of small or large active molecules for the treatment of cancer. This paper describes the different approaches employed for the preparation, characterization, and evaluation of these potent delivery systems.

We presented a green, simple and economical method to synthesize carbon nanodots (C-dots) from millets using hydrothermal synthesis route. The obtained C-dots have average diameter ranging from 6 to 8 nm. Optical measurements showed the formation of hydroxyl, carbonyl/carboxyl, amino functional groups on the particle surfaces, resulting in their high hydrophilicity and bioconjugation. After treatment with C-dots, human cervical and lung cancer cells became bright and exhibited multicolor fluorescence under different excitation wavelength. The achievement demonstrated potential applications of fluorescent C-dots in the field of biomedical application, especially in diagnostic disease techniques.

The challenge of next-generation nanoparticles (NPs) includes limited cellular uptake and loss by phagocytosis. General surface modification of NPs potentially enhances evasion from phagocytosis. However, active targeting and enhanced cellular uptake of nanoparticles are possible by surface functionalisation with molecules that have selective affinity for cancer cells. ROR1 is a cell surface receptor that is over-expressed in cancer cells. Hence, its conjugate antibody could be a potential surface functionalisation molecule. In the current study, anti-ROR1 antibody has been covalently attached to nanoparticles’ surface, thereby imparting its active targeting potential. Physicochemical and in vitro characterisations of the antibody-conjugated nanoparticles were performed. Surface functionalisation of nanoparticles was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, isothermal calorimetry, and elemental analysis. Additionally, biomarkers of metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were studied. Anti-ROR1 mAb tagged nanoparticles further confirmed therapeutic efficacy against colon cancer cells, SW480, thus, opening scope for further in vivo studies.
