Natural exosome-like nanovesicles from edible tea flowers suppress metastatic breast cancer via ROS generation and microbiota modulation

Qiubing Chen et al.

Summary: This study developed a new therapeutic strategy using natural nanovehicles derived from tea flowers to trigger apoptosis of breast tumors and inhibit their lung metastasis. The nanovehicles had desirable particle sizes, exosome-like morphology, and contained polyphenols, flavonoids, functional proteins, and lipids. The experiments showed that the nanovehicles exhibited strong cytotoxicity against cancer cells by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, in mice investigations, the nanovehicles were found to accumulate in breast tumors and lung metastatic sites after injection or oral administration, resulting in inhibition of breast cancer growth and metastasis, as well as modulation of gut microbiota.

Gut microbiota targeted nanomedicine for cancer therapy: Challenges and future considerations

Muhammad Shahid Riaz Rajoka et al.

Summary: This review discusses the roles of microbiota and nanomaterials in cancer therapy, microbiota interventions via nanomaterials, microbial inspiration via nanomaterials, and challenges associated with using nanomaterials in humans and animals. The potential of nanomaterials to alter the cancer-causing microbiome/microbiota and their metabolites, as well as the cancer microenvironment, suggests novel strategies for cancer treatment. Further in vivo clinical trials are needed to determine the exact mechanisms of action in treating cancer with nanomaterials.
