Metal-Organic Framework: Fabrication of Nano Fluorescent Composite Materials and Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor originating from liver cells, characterized by complex pathogenesis and limited treatment options such as surgery, chemotherapy, and transplantation. Cisplatin, an effective chemotherapeutic agent, disrupts cancer cell DNA but is hindered by side effects and the need for controlled sustained release to optimize efficacy. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising nanocarriers for precise local drug delivery, reducing required doses and mitigating side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs, thus offering a potential avenue for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. In this research, a rectangular channel MOF (Rumgay H, Ferlay J, Martel C, Georges D, Ibrahim AS, Zheng R, Wei W, Lemmens VEPP, Soerjomataram I (2022) Global, regional and national burden of primary liver cancer by subtype.

Additionally, to enhance substrate biocompatibility, composite carrier materials were prepared by incorporating polylactic acid (PLA) with 1 , utilized for cisplatin loading. To evaluate the inhibitory effect of PLA- 1 @cisplatin on HCC, HepG-2 and Huh-7 HCC cell lines were treated with varying concentrations of the drug for 48 h, and their cell viability was assessed. The results demonstrated a significant dose-dependent reduction in cell viability of both HepG-2 and Huh-7 cells. To explore the potential inhibitory mechanism of PLA- 1 @cisplatin on HCC, the mRNA levels of GADD45A and NACC1 in HepG-2 and Huh-7 cells post-treatment were measured. GADD45A expression, initially low in HCC cells, was significantly upregulated after drug treatment, while NACC1, typically highly expressed in HCC, showed a significant decrease in mRNA levels with increasing concentrations of PLA- 1 @cisplatin. These findings indicate that PLA- 1 @cisplatin effectively upregulates GADD45A expression and downregulates NACC1 expression. Overall, the developed cisplatin-loaded nanoparticle system holds promise for HCC treatment by reducing chemotherapy side effects and enhancing drug efficacy.
