Magnetic hyperthermia can improve therapeutic effects of chemotherapy drugs. Injectable magnetic hydrogels are considered as promising materials for synergistic treatments of magnetic hyperthermia and chemotherapy. However, most works only focused on Fe3O4 nanoparticles-based magnetic hydrogels, which cannot self-regulate hyperthermia temperature due to their high Curie temperature. In this paper, [Formula: see text] nanoparticles with Curie temperature at 45.7[Formula: see text]C were introduced into chitosan/glycerophosphate/sodium hyaluronate hydrogels for preparing injectable magnetic hydrogels. The morphology, magnetic heating properties, rheological properties and drug release behaviors of magnetic hydrogels were investigated systematically. Magnetic heating experiments demonstrated that the magnetic hydrogels can self-regulate temperature at 42.6–43.1[Formula: see text]C though magnetic phase transition, satisfy the temperature requirement of hyperthermia. In vitro adriamycin hydrochloride (DOX) release experiments demonstrated that the magnetic hydrogels can release DOX for more than 120 h, and their release processes were pH- and temperature-sensitive, which can improve the DOX utilization in clinical treatments. These data may provide useful information for further research on magnetic hydrogels-based multi-modal tumor therapy.

The delivery of multiple anti-cancer agents holds great promise for better treatments. The present work focuses on developing multifunctional materials for simultaneous and local combinatory treatment: Chemotherapy and hyperthermia. We first produced hybrid microgels (MG), synthesized by surfactant-free emulsion polymerization, consisting of Poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAAm), chitosan (40 wt.%), and iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) (5 wt.%) as the inorganic component. PNIPAAm MGs with a hydrodynamic diameter of about 1 μm (in their swollen state) were successfully synthesized. With the incorporation of chitosan and NPs in PNIPAAm MG, a decrease in MG diameter and swelling capacity was observed, without affecting their thermosensitivity. We then sought to produce biocompatible and mechanically robust membranes containing these dual-responsive MG. To achieve this, MG were incorporated in poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) fibers through colloidal electrospinning. The presence of NPs in MG decreases the membrane swelling ratio from 10 to values between 6 and 7, and increases the material stiffness, raising its Young modulus from 20 to 35 MPa. Furthermore, magnetic hyperthermia assay shows that PVP-MG-NP composites perform better than any other formulation, with a temperature variation of about 1 °C. The present work demonstrates the potential of using multifunctional colloidal membranes for magnetic hyperthermia and may in the future be used as an alternative treatment for cancer.

The accumulation of nanotechnology-based drugs has been realized in various ways. However, the concentration of drugs encapsulated by nanomaterials is not equal to the concentration of effective drugs; often, the drugs become effective only when they are released from the nanomaterials as free drugs. This means only when the drugs are rapidly released after the accumulated drug-encapsulating nanomaterials can they truly achieve the purpose of increasing the concentration of drugs in the tumor. Therefore, we herein report a dual-response nano-carrier of glutathione and acid to achieve the rapid release of encapsulated drug and increase the effective drug concentration in the tumor. The nano-carrier was constructed using a dual-responsive amphiphilic copolymer, composed of polyethylene glycol and hydrophobic acetylated dextran and connected by a disulfide bond. In the tumor microenvironment, disulfide bonds could be biodegraded by glutathione that is overexpressed in the tumor, exposing the core of nano-carrier composed of acetylated dextran. Then the acidic environment would induce the deacetylation of acetylated dextran into water-soluble dextran. In this way, the nano-carrier will degrade quickly, realizing the purpose of rapid drug release. The results showed that the drug release rate of dual-responsive nano-carrier was much higher than that of glutathione or acid-responsive nano-carrier alone. Furthermore, both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that dual-responsive nano-carrier possessed more efficient anti-tumor effects. Therefore, we believe that dual-responsive nano-carriers have better clinical application prospects.
