Nanomedicine mediated targeting of Cancer Stem-Like Cells

Chemoresistance and cancer relapse marks the significant challenges in cancer management and are attributable in part to the presence of cancer cells subpopulations termed as cancer stem cells or tumor initiating cells. Although their mode of generation and biological properties has been explored in diverse array of cancer types, our understanding of the biology of the CSCs remains superficial. Due to their extraordinary characteristics, CSCs are thought to be the basis for tumor initiation, development, metastasis and recurrence. Researchers have identified multiple potential therapeutic targets to CSCs, including the ABC superfamily, anti-apoptotic factors, detoxifying enzymes, DNA repair enzymes and distinct oncogenic cascades (such as the Wnt/β-catenin, hedgehog, EGFR and Notch pathways) which are used preferentially or uniquely by these cells. Evidences exists indicating that non-CSCs in the tumor can spontaneously and stochastically turn into CSCs de novo, undermining the efficacy of therapeutic strategy that only targets CSCs. Hence, it becomes crucial to eliminate both CSCs and non-CSCs simultaneously for effective cancer therapy. Our group is thus working on combinational approach for effective cancer treatment. We have focused our studies based on dual drug delivery systems targeting CSCs specific signaling pathway and simultaneously targeting non-CSCs to get rid of cancer relapse and metastasis in both in-vitro and in-vivo models.

Magnetic nanoparticles as a theranostic tool in cancer therapy

Development of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as a theranostic agent in cancer therapy has growing importance due to their application both as a drug delivery agent for therapeutic purpose and imaging agent for diagnostic purpose. The role of MNPs as a contrast agent for the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has gained significant attention in cancer therapy as early diagnosis of cancer has always remained a challenge. Further, the therapeutic applications of magnetic nanoparticles account for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents and also another upcoming therapeutic mode of treatment for cancer i.e, hyperthermia. MNPs in presence of alternating magnetic field can induce heat that can kill the cancer cells and may enhance the therapeutic index of the chemotherapeutic drugs and also may help in eliminating the cancer stem cells that are the major cause of relapse of cancer. However, the majority of research in this area is still at the bench side and clinical translation is restricted by instability of the MNPs. Thus, development of aqueous dispersible magnetic nanoparticles having sufficient magnetization is necessary that can be used for different biomedical applications like drug delivery, contrast agent for MRI, hyperthermia, cell separation etc. In this regard, we have synthesized an aqueous dispersible highly stable polymer coated magnetic nanoparticle formulation (Indian Patent Application No 779/KOL/2009 of 21/5/2009 and International PCT Application No.PCT/IN09/000639 of 12/11/2009). Our lab is extensively using the above MNPs formulation for different biomedical applications for cancer management.
