Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to application of a nano acoustic sensitizer in preparation of an anticancer drug. BACKGROUND
[0002] Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a treatment method that uses sound waves and drugs to treat bacteria or tumors. The principle of sonodynamic therapy is to combine specific drugs with sound waves to produce a sonodynamic effect, thereby killing bacteria or tumor cells. The drug is selected to have specific sonosensitivity, that is, under the action of sound waves of a specific wavelength, active oxygen substances such as singlet oxygen and free radicals can be produced, which can destroy the structure and function of bacteria or tumor cells.
[0003] The efficacy of sonodynamic therapy depends largely on the properties of the acoustic sensitizer. The rapid development of nanomaterials has accelerated the development of various types of acoustic sensitizers, from early organic molecules to current inorganic nanosensitizers. A variety of nanomaterials have been used as acoustic sensitizers for SDT. Among them, inorganic nanomaterials such as titanium dioxide and silicon-based nanomaterials have become a hot spot in the research of acoustic sensitizers due to their high in vivo stability, controllable physical and chemical properties, and easy surface modification and multifunctionalization. However, conventional inorganic nanosensitizers have low carrier migration efficiency and low active oxygen species production rate, which affects the industrialization of inorganic nanosensitizers and the clinical application of SDT.

To explore the molecular mechanism of nanoparticle-induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells, Western blotting was used to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. Western blot results showed that the expression levels of p53 and Bax proteins were upregulated in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells treated with 5 wt% Au-loaded ZnO sonosensitive agent, while the expression level of Bcl-2 protein was reduced. Analysis showed that the ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 increased under the action of the sonosensitive agent, indicating that 5 wt% Au-loaded ZnO sonosensitive agent (Example 3) may induce apoptosis in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and inhibit cell growth.

[0116] Damage to mitochondrial membrane potential in breast cancer cells by nano-acoustic sensitizers
[0117] Breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 and MCF7) were incubated for 24 h with 5 wt% Au-loaded ZnO sonosensitive agent (Example 3), followed by trypsin digestion, sonication, and then incubation. The fluorescence color change of JC-1 cells was observed to assess the health status of mitochondria. Figure 12 This is a diagram of the mitochondrial membrane potential of JC-1.
[0118] Normal, healthy mitochondria typically exhibit red fluorescence, while damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria exhibit green fluorescence. The results showed that, compared with the control group, the number of cells emitting green fluorescence was significantly increased in the 5wt% Au-loaded ZnO sonosensitive agent group, indicating that the 5wt% Au-loaded ZnO sonosensitive agent group can damage the mitochondrial membrane potential of MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells and affect cell growth.
