Cell-Membrane-Derived Nanoparticles with Notch-1 Suppressor Delivery Promote Hypoxic Cell-Cell Packing and Inhibit Angiogenesis Acting as a Two-Edged Sword.

ABSTRACT: Cell-cell interactions regulate intracellular signaling via reciprocal contacts of cell membranes in tissue regeneration and cancer growth, indicating a critical need of membrane-derived tools in studying these processes. Hence, cell-membrane-derived nanoparticles (CMNPs) are produced using tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells (TMSCs) from children owing to their short doubling time. As target cell types, laryngeal cancer cells are compared to bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs) because of their cartilage damaging and chondrogenic characteristics, respectively. Treating spheroids of these cell types with CMNPs exacerbates interspheroid hypoxia with robust maintenance of the cell-cell interaction signature for 7 days. Both cell types prefer a hypoxic environment, as opposed to blood vessel fo
