In this study, we successfully developed novel tumor homing-penetrating peptide-functionalized drug-loaded phase-transformation nanoparticles (tLyP-1-10-HCPT-PFP NPs) for low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU)-assisted molecular imaging and precise therapy. With the nanoscale particle size, tLyP-1-10-HCPT-PFP NPs could pass through vascular endothelial cell gap. Induced by tLyP-1 peptide with targeting penetrating efficiency, increase accumulation penetrate deeply into extravascular tissue,...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered as an attractive tool for the therapy of diseases. Accumulating evidence indicates that healing effects MSCs are mainly related to paracrine action rather than transdifferentiation. Exosomes excreted from emerged physiologically relevant and powerful components MSC secretome. However, whether MSC-derived exosomes can improve erectile function streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats its mechanism remains unknown. Our previous work showed adipose...

Abstract Background Combined therapy based on the effects of cascade reactions nanoplatforms to combat specific solid tumor microenvironments is considered a cancer treatment strategy with transformative clinical value. Unfortunately, an insufficient O 2 supply and lack visual indication hinder further applications most for therapy. Results A visualizable nanoplatform liposome nanoparticles loaded GOD, H(Gd), PFP grafted peptide tLyP-1, named tLyP-1 H(Gd)-GOD@PFP, was constructed. The...

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a major complication of diabetes, and many diabetic men with ED are refractory to common therapies. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been shown improve erectile function in animal models. However, inadequate cell homing damaged sites has limited their efficacy. Therefore, we explored the effect ADSCs labeled superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) on improving streptozotocin-induced rats an external magnetic field. We found that SPIONs...

Cancer multidrug resistance (MDR) is an important reason that results in chemotherapy failure. As a main mechanism of MDR, overexpressed P-glycoprotein (P-gp) utilizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to actively pump drugs out cells. In addition, metabolic reprogramming drug-resistant tumor cells (DRTCs) exacerbates the specific hypoxic microenvironment and promotes metastasis recurrence. Therefore, we propose novel sonodynamic therapy (SDT) paradigm induce energy metabolism disorder drug...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colonic mucosa with increasing incidence worldwide. Growing evidence highlights pivotal role nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism in UC pathogenesis, prompting our investigation into subtype-specific molecular underpinnings and diagnostic potential NAD+ metabolism-related genes (NMRGs). Transcriptome data from patients healthy controls were downloaded GEO database, specifically GSE75214 GSE87466. We performed...

The activation of tunica albuginea myofibroblasts (MFs) serves an essential role in Peyronie's disease (PD). Increasing evidence has reported that adipose tissue‑derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been demonstrated to attenuate the symptoms PD animal models. However, mechanisms antifibrotic effects ADSCs remain be fully elucidated. In present study, inhibitory and possible mechanism on MFs derived from rat penile were investigated. obtained paratesticular fat Sprague Dawley rats. transformed...

Epalrestat, an aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI), was adopted to improve the function of peripheral nerves in diabetic patients. The aim this study investigate whether epalrestat could restore erectile dysfunction using a rat model. From June 2016, 24 rats were given streptozocin (STZ) induce model, and administered ten (DED) rats.
