Exploiting the high silica content in rice husk, our research aimed to recycle this agricultural byproduct to synthesize mesoporous silica nanoparticles (rMSNs). These nanoparticles were further modified to evaluate their potential as effective carriers for cancer drug delivery.RESULTSrMSNs showed high biocompatibility, large surface area and porous structure as MSNs, making them excellent drug carriers. Further modifications were applied to rMSNs, such as the incorporation of the lanthanides europium and gadolinium into rMSNs, making them fluorescent and magnetic for detection and tracking using confocal fluorescence microscopy and magnetic resonance imaging. Additionally, folic acid and aptamer AS1411 were conjugated with rMSNs to enhance the targeting of cancer cells. HeLa cells exhibited higher uptake of camptothecin (CPT)-loaded rMSNs compared to normal fibroblast cells (L929). The linkage of disulfide bonds to rMSNs also allowed CPT to be carried by rMSNs and released intracellularly in the presence of the abundant reducing agent glutathione. The validation of rMSNs in vitro and in vivo proved their practical feasibility.CONCLUSIONOur findings indicate that low-cost rMSNs, derived from recycled agricultural waste, can replace highly valuable MSNs. Functionalized rMSNs exhibit promising capabilities in transporting clinical drugs to specific aberrant tissues and offering dual-targeting and dual-imaging functionalities for enhanced cancer therapy.
