NHF-derived carbon dots: prevalidation approach in breast cancer treatment
Abstract Metastatic breast cancer dominates the female cancer-related mortality. Tumour-associated molecules represents a crucial for early disease detection and identification of novel therapeutic targets. Nanomaterial technologies provide promising novel approaches to disease diagnostics and thera...

Abstract Metastatic breast cancer dominates the female cancer-related mortality. Tumour-associated molecules represents a crucial for early disease detection and identification of novel therapeutic targets. Nanomaterial technologies provide promising novel approaches to disease diagnostics and therapeutics. In the present study we extend the investigations of antitumoral properties of Carbon Dots prepared from N-hydroxyphthalimide (CD-NHF) precursor. We evaluate the effect of CD-NHF on tumour cell migration and invasion in vitro and their impact on tumour progression using an in vivo model. Furthermore, we investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in CD-NHF antitumour effects. In vivo mammary tumours were induced in Balb/c female mice by injecting 4T1 cells into the mammary fat pad.
