A New Nanomaterial Based on Extracellular Vesicles Containing Chrysin-Induced Cell Apoptosis Through Let-7a in Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Although the therapeutic strategy showed significant improvement, the therapeutic effect was poor on metastases in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) which is the most malignant tumor found in the head and neck. Chrysin, similar to the flavonoids, plays an antitumor role by regulating the express...

A New Nanomaterial Based on Extracellular Vesicles Containing Chrysin-Induced Cell Apoptosis Through Let-7a in Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma
description Although the therapeutic strategy showed significant improvement, the therapeutic effect was poor on metastases in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) which is the most malignant tumor found in the head and neck. Chrysin, similar to the flavonoids, plays an antitumor role by regulating the expression of ncRNAs in many kinds of cancers. Compared to flavonoids, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) provide a novel insight into inhibiting cancer cell growth via photothermal therapy (PPT) which is irradiated by near-infrared radiation (NIR). However, most flavonoids and AuNPs lack specificity of tumor in vivo. The extracellular vesicles (EVs) which were abundant with ncRNAs are isolated from the cellular supernatant fluid and have the ability to carry drugs or nanoparticles to improve specificity. In the present study, we aimed to synthesize a new nanomaterial based on EVs containing chrysin and analyzed cell apoptosis in TSCC cells. Our results demonstrated that EVs-chrysin were isolated from SCC9 cells that were treated with chrysin. To improve the therapeutic effect, AuNPs were carried by EVs-chrysin (Au-EVs).
