Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2010;14(8):1463-1466
OBJECTIVE: To explore targeting of nanometer drugs and the adverse reaction during disease treatment. METHODS: The first author retrieved China National Knowledge Infrastructure with the key words of "nanometer drug, nanometer particle, drug carrier, targeting, adverse reaction" for articles published from 2001 to 2009 in Chinese. The articles addressing close content of targeting and adverse reactions of nanometer drugs were included, and Meta analysis, irrelevant or duplicated articles were excluded. Finally, 18 articles were included. We summarized the present studies concerning targeting and adverse reactions of nanometer drugs. RESULTS: Compared with common drugs, nanometer drugs had great surface area, strong chemical activity, and rapid rate of absorption. Nanometer drugs process a superiority compared with common drugs in aspects of traversing various barriers of the body, controlling release speed of drugs, and setting drug targeting. CONCLUSION: Compared with previous drugs, the targeting nanometer drugs present significant targeting, i.e. it can bring drugs to the targeting site. It not only can elevate curative effects, but decrease adverse reactions. Nanometer drugs as a new preparation provide a new thought for treating some refractory diseases, and bring a reformation for medical research. However, some nanometer materials show toxic properties, and especially the outcomes of interaction of nanometer materials to human or environment are still unclear. Therefore, the biological effects, action mechanism and elimination measures of toxicity of nanometer materials should be completely studied prior to the nanometer materials are made into commercialization products, which will bring a basic rationale for reasonable application of nanometer materials.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(34):-
Microsphere of diameter 1-300 ?m is a biophysical target drug-loading reagent. Loading material of microspheres is classified into natural polymer,semisynthetic macromolecule,and synthetic macromolecule. Based on proper preparation technique and prescription,drug-loading microspheres made by synthetic macromolecule can release drug to a certain velocity during several weeks or months,reduce administration times,and enhance complaisance. Moreover,microspheres are ideal drug-loading system for protein and polypeptide drug. Research of microspheres is a hot topic at recent,thus more and more drugs are developed into microspheres. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) characterizing by great security,good biocompatibility,and alterable biodegradation is a common material to make microspheres. There are three ways to establish PLGA sustained-release microspheres,including solvent evaporation method,spray drying method,and phase separation method. In particular,solvent evaporation method is frequently used to make PLGA microspheres loading polypeptide and protein in various medical fields of immunology,gene therapy,tumor therapy,bone defect repairing,and ophthalmology.

Background and purpose:The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is commonly overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors, and has important roles in cancer pathogenesis and progression. EGFR thus provides a rational target for cancer therapy. We studied siRNA-mediated inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor expression and its biologic effects in different human cancer cell lines (A431, HeLa and SPC-A-1). Methods:Cells were transfected with chemically synthesized siRNA-EGFR. EGFR mRNA was quantified by real-time PCR and was detected by immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. The biologic effects on cell growth were assessed by colony-formation assay.Results:siRNA-EGFR significantly decreased mRNA level of EGFR by 73.9 %, 44.6 % and 57.7 %, protein expression of EGFR by 77.0 %, 61.3 % and 65.2 %, and reduced colony number by 27.2 %, 53.9 % and 59.1 % in A431, HeLa and SPC-A-1, respectively.Conclusions:Our data suggested that RNA interference could downregulate EGFR and inhibit colony forming ability and EGFR expression at mRNA/protein levels in human cancer cell lines with different pathological types. siRNA could be one of the promising strategies in future targeted cancer therapy.

Objective To investigate the effect of tadpole extract(T871 3) on tumor cells and its mechanism. Methods We studied the effects of T871 3 on proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of HL 60 cells by cytomorphological observation, cytochemistry and TUNEL method. We also examined gene expression during the induction of apoptosis and differentiation in tadpole extract treated HL 60 cells by in situ hybridization and intact cell mRNA dot blot techniques. Results 1 T871 3 was able to inhibite HL 60 cells proliferation. 2 T871 3 was able to induce HL 60 cells to differentiate along monocyte macrophage lineage at low concentration, and apoptosis at higher concentration. 3 The differentiation of HL 60 cells was accompanied by downregulations of c myc,c myb gene expression, The apoptosis of HL 60 cells was accompanied by downregulations of c\|myc bcl 2 gene expression, suggesting that these genes may be involved in the apoptosis and differentiation process. Conclusion Tadpole extract may have effects on HL 60 cells through changing the oncogene expression. [

Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging class of targeted therapeutics with the potential to improve therapeutic index over the traditional chemotherapy. However, it is difficult to control the site and stoichiometry of conjugation in mAb, typically resulting in heterogeneous mixtures of ADCs that are difficult to optimize. New methods for site-specific drug attachment allow development of more homogeneous conjugates and control of the site of drug attachment. In this article, the new literature on development of ADCs and site-specific ADCs is reviewed. In addition, we summarized the various strategies in production of site-specific ADCs.
