Development of a drug delivery system using cockle shell-derived aragonite nanoparticles to treat osteosarcoma in a rat model

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a highly malignant primary bone cancer and most prevalent in children and young adults. The improvement in patient survival outcome has been stagnation,the 5-year survival rate for patients with metastasis OS is less than 20%. Chemotherapy is associated with severe side effects...

The morphology and compositions of the nanoparticles were characterized.

In the second part of the study, ANPs showed good biocompatibility according to the MTT assay. Additionally, cellular uptake study revealed the ability of ANPs to deliver DOX into the cells through endocytosis. In addition, the antitumor effect of DOX-ANPs was tested by TEM, SEM, MTT assay and flow cytometric analysis.

description Osteosarcoma (OS) is a highly malignant primary bone cancer and most prevalent in children and young adults. The improvement in patient survival outcome has been stagnation,the 5-year survival rate for patients with metastasis OS is less than 20%. Chemotherapy is associated with severe side effects due to nonspecific tissue biodistribution. The development of multidrug resistance is another obstacle faced with chemotherapy for OS. Biogenic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) nanoparticles show unique advantages and the potential as delivery system.
