Abstract
Recent advances in the field of drug delivery have opened new avenues for the development of novel nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) in cancer therapy. Self-assembled nanoparticles (SANPs) based on tumour microenvironment have great advantages in improving antitumor effect, and pH-responsive SANPs prepared by the combination of pH-responsive nanomaterials and self-assembly technology can effectively improve the efficacy and reduce the systemic toxicity of antitumor drugs. In this review, we describe the characteristics of self-assembly and its driving force, the mechanism of pH-responsive NDDS, and the nanomaterials for pH-responsive SANPs type. A series of pH-responsive SANPs for tumour-targeted drug delivery are discussed, with an emphasis on the relation between structural features and theranostic performance.

Chitosan- and hyaluronic acid-based nanoarchitectures in phototherapy: Combination cancer chemotherapy, immunotherapy and gene therapy. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 273:132579. [PMID: 38795895 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
Cancer phototherapy has been introduced as a new potential modality for tumor suppression. However, the efficacy of phototherapy has been limited due to a lack of targeted delivery of photosensitizers. Therefore, the application of biocompatible and multifunctional nanoparticles in phototherapy is appreciated. Chitosan (CS) as a cationic polymer and hyaluronic acid (HA) as a CD44-targeting agent are two widely utilized polymers in nanoparticle synthesis and functionalization. The current review focuses on the application of HA and CS nanostructures in cancer phototherapy. These nanocarriers can be used in phototherapy to induce hyperthermia and singlet oxygen generation for tumor ablation. CS and HA can be used for the synthesis of nanostructures, or they can functionalize other kinds of nanostructures used for phototherapy, such as gold nanorods. The HA and CS nanostructures can combine chemotherapy or immunotherapy with phototherapy to augment tumor suppression. Moreover, the CS nanostructures can be functionalized with HA for specific cancer phototherapy. The CS and HA nanostructures promote the cellular uptake of genes and photosensitizers to facilitate gene therapy and phototherapy. Such nanostructures specifically stimulate phototherapy at the tumor site, with particle toxic impacts on normal cells. Moreover, CS and HA nanostructures demonstrate high biocompatibility for further clinical applications.

Abstract
Cancer poses a significant challenge to global public health, seriously threatening human health and life. Although various therapeutic strategies, such as chemotherapy (CT), radiotherapy, phototherapy, and starvation therapy, are applied to cancer treatment, their limited therapeutic effect, severe side effects, and unsatisfactory drug release behavior need to be carefully considered. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop efficient drug delivery strategies for improving cancer treatment efficacy and realizing on-demand drug delivery. Notably, pillararenes, as an emerging class of supramolecular macrocycles, possess unique properties of highly tunable structures, superior host-guest chemistry, facile modification, and good biocompatibility, which are widely used in cancer therapy to achieve controllable drug release and reduce the toxic side effects on normal tissues under various internal/external stimuli conditions. This review summarizes the recent advance of stimuli-responsive supramolecular delivery systems (SDSs) based on pillararenes for tumor therapy from the perspectives of different assembly methods and hybrid materials, including molecular-scale SDSs, supramolecular nano self-assembly delivery systems, and nanohybrid SDSs. Moreover, the prospects and critical challenges of stimuli-responsive SDSs based on pillararenes for cancer therapy are also discussed.

Abstract
Modern nanodrug delivery technologies offer new approaches in the fight against cancer. However, due to the heterogeneity of tumors and side effects of anticancer drugs, monotherapies are less effective. Herein, we report a novel pH and light dual-responsive nanodrug delivery platform. The platform was formed by sulfonate-modified gold nanoparticles loaded with the anticancer drugs doxorubicin (DOX) and glucose oxidase (GOx) and then covered by water-soluble pillar[5]arene as a nanovalve. The nanovalve formed by the host-guest interaction between pillar[5]arene and the sulfonic acid group grafted onto the gold nanoparticle increased the drug loading capacity of the nanoplatform and enabled sustained release of the drug in a simulated weakly acidic tumor environment. The released GOx can consume intracellular glucose, namely, starvation therapy, while the generated hydrogen peroxide can further kill tumor cells, complementing DOX chemotherapy. Gold nanoparticles have good photothermal conversion ability and can enhance the drugs release rate under specific wavelengths of light irradiation. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that this novel nanodrug delivery platform has good biocompatibility and better therapeutic efficacy relative to monotherapy. This study successfully developed a combined chemo/starvation therapy strategy with good tumor suppression, providing a new approach for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Dye-sensitization can enhance lanthanide-based upconversion luminescence, but is hindered by interfacial energy transfer from organic dye to lanthanide ion Yb3+ . To overcome these limitations, modifying coordination sites on dye conjugated structures and minimizing the distance between fluorescence cores and Yb3+ in upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are proposed. The specially designed near-infrared (NIR) dye, disulfo-indocyanine green (disulfo-ICG), acts as the antenna molecule and exhibits a 2413-fold increase in luminescence under 808 nm excitation compared to UCNPs alone using 980 nm irradiation. The significant improvement is attributed to the high energy transfer efficiency of 72.1% from disulfo-ICG to Yb3+ in UCNPs, with majority of energy originating from triplet state (T1 ) of disulfo-ICG. Shortening the distance between the dye and lanthanide ions increases the probability of energy transfer and strengthens the heavy atom effect, leading to enhanced T1 generation and improved dye-triplet sensitization upconversion. Importantly, this approach also applies to 730 nm excitation Cy7-SO3 sensitization system, overcoming the spectral mismatch between Cy7 and Yb3+ and achieving a 52-fold enhancement in luminescence. Furthermore, the enhancement of upconversion at single particle level through dye-sensitization is demonstrated. This strategy expands the range of NIR dyes for sensitization and opens new avenues for highly efficient dye-sensitized upconversion systems.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is one of the available cancer treatments which has been successfully employed to prolong the survival of cancer patients. However, it remains a major challenge to develop effective chemotherapeutic agents by reducing off-target toxicity, improving bioavailability, and effectively prolonging blood circulation. The pH profile of tumor cells is abnormal to that of normal cells, making it a potential breakthrough for designing effective chemotherapeutic drug agents. Here, the pH-activatable charge-reversal supramolecular nanocarriers, named MI7-β-CD/SA NPs, were prepared through a simple and "green" constructive process. MI7-β-CD/SA NPs possess both pH-induced charge-reversal and disassembly properties that were exploited to investigate the loading, delivery, and pH-responsive controlled release of the antitumor compound celastrol (CSL). CSL@MI7-β-CD/SA NPs displayed low hemolysis, good biocompatibility, and targeted uptake. Furthermore, CSL@MI7-β-CD/SA NPs exhibited superior apoptosis rates against SMMC-7721 cell lines compared with CSL, when CSL@MI7-β-CD/SA NPs and CSL were administered at a mass concentration of 5.0 μg/mL, i.e., the CSL content in CSL@MI7-β-CD/SA NPs was relatively lower than that of intact CSL. We expected that MI7-β-CD/SA NPs featuring pH-triggered charge reversal could offer a promising controlled release strategy that would then facilitate the clinical conversion of antitumor drugs.

Designing and constructing new controllable synthesis methods for multifunctional fluorescent polymer nanomaterials with good water solubility and excellent biocompatibility is of great significance. Exploring efficient functionalization methods for luminescent materials is still one of the core issues in the design and development of new fluorescent materials. With this in mind, this review first introduces the structures, properties, and synthetic methods regarding fluorescent polymeric nanomaterials. Then, the functionalization strategies of fluorescent polymer nanomaterials are summarized. In addition, the research progress of multifunctional fluorescent polymer nanomaterials for bioimaging is also discussed.

Abstract
Controlling molecular motion is one of hot topics in the field of chemistry. Molecular rotors have wide applications in building nanomachines and functional materials, due to their controllable rotations. Hence, the development of novel rotor systems, controlled by external stimuli, is desirable. Pillar[n]arenes, a class of macrocycles, have a unique planar chirality, in which two stable conformational isomers pR and pS would interconvert by oxygen-through-the-annulus rotations of their hydroquinone rings. We observe the differential kinetic traits of planar chirality transformation in sodium carboxylate pillar[5]arene (WP5-Na) and ammonium carboxylate pillar[5]arene (WP5-NH4), which inspire us to construct a promising rotary platform in anionic pillar[5]arenes (WP5) skeletons. Herein, we demonstrate the non-negligible effect of counter cations on rotational barriers of hydroquinone rings in WP5, which enables a cation grease/brake rotor system. Applications of this tunable rotor system as fluorescence switch and anti-counterfeiting ink are further explored.

Abstract
A pH-responsive charge-convertible drug delivery nanocarrier (MSN-TPZ-GOx@ZnO@PAH-PEG-DMMA, abbreviated as MTGZ@PPD) was prepared, which could specifically release hypoxia-activated chemotherapeutic Tirapazamine (TPZ) and glucose oxidase (GOx) in the tumor site for precise starvation and chemo synergistic oncotherapy. Acid-responsive Schiff base structure modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) co-load with GOx and TPZ, then link with ZnO quantum dots (QDs). PAH-PEG-DMMA (PPD) polymer makes MTGZ@PPD with biocompatibility and charge-convertible feature. MTGZ@PPD is negatively charged at physiological pH, and the charge reversal of PPD and acidolysis of the Schiff base structure under the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) induce a positively charged surface, which could potentiate the cell internalization. ZnO QDs could decompose at acidic TME, achieving controllable drug release. GOx could starve the tumor cells and enhance hypoxia level, thus initiates the activation of TPZ to realize synergistic starvation therapy and chemotherapy. This intelligent MTGZ@PPD has shown great potential for starvation and chemo synergistic oncotherapy.

Abstract
Soft nanoparticles (NPs) have recently emerged as a promising material for intracellular drug delivery. In this regard, NPs derived from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), an FDA approved polymer can be a suitable alternative to conventional soft NPs due to their intrinsic organelle targeting ability. However, the available synthesis methods of PDMS NPs are complicated or require inorganic fillers, forming composite NPs and compromising their native softness. Herein, for the first time, we present a simple, robust and scalable strategy for preparation of virgin sub-50 nm PDMS NPs at room temperature. The NPs are soft in nature, hydrophobic and about 30 nm in size. They are stable in physiological medium for two months and biocompatible. The NPs have been successful in delivering anticancer drug doxorubicin to mitochondria and nucleus of cervical and breast cancer cells with more than four-fold decrease in IC50 value of doxorubicin as compared to its free form. Furthermore, evaluation of cytotoxicity in reactive oxygen species detection, DNA fragmentation, apoptosis-associated gene expression and tumor spheroid growth inhibition demonstrate the PDMS NPs to be an excellent candidate for delivery of anticancer drugs in mitochondria and nucleus of cancer cells.

Abstract
The recent progress in pillar[n]arene-assisted/participated carbon nanotube hybrid materials were initially summarized and discussed. The molecular structure of pillar[n]arene could serve different roles in the fabrication of attractive carbon nanotube-based materials. Firstly, pillar[n]arene has the ability to provide the structural basis for enlarging the cylindrical pillar-like architecture by forming one-dimensional, rigid, tubular, oligomeric/polymeric structures with aromatic moieties as the linker, or forming spatially "closed", channel-like, flexible structures by perfunctionalizing with peptides and with intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Interestingly, such pillar[n]arene-based carbon nanotube-resembling structures were used as porous materials for the adsorption and separation of gas and toxic pollutants, as well as for artificial water channels and membranes. In addition to the art of organic synthesis, self-assembly based on pillar[n]arene, such as self-assembled amphiphilic molecules, is also used to promote and control the dispersion behavior of carbon nanotubes in solution. Furthermore, functionalized pillar[n]arene derivatives integrated carbon nanotubes to prepare advanced hybrid materials through supramolecular interactions, which could also incorporate various compositions such as Ag and Au nanoparticles for catalysis and sensing.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC) nanostructures, which can upconvert near-infrared (NIR) light with low energy to visible or UV light with higher energy, are investigated for theranostic applications. The surface of lanthanide (Ln)-doped UC nanostructures can be modified with different functional groups and bioconjugated with biomolecules for therapeutic systems. On the other hand, organic molecular-based UC nanostructures, by using the triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) UC mechanism, have high UC quantum yields and do not require high excitation power. In this review, the major UC mechanisms in different nanostructures have been introduced, including the Ln-doped UC mechanism and the TTA UC mechanism. The design and fabrication of Ln-doped UC nanostructures and TTA UC-based UC nanostructures for theranostic applications have been reviewed and discussed. In addition, the current progress in the application of UC nanostructures for diagnosis and therapy has been summarized, including tumor-targeted bioimaging and chemotherapy, image-guided diagnosis and phototherapy, NIR-triggered controlled drug releasing and bioimaging. We also provide insight into the development of emerging UC nanostructures in the field of theranostics.

Abstract
Developing a water-soluble supramolecular system for the detection and removal of Hg2+ is extremely needed but remains challenging. Herein, we reported the facile construction of a fluorescent supramolecular system (H⊃G) in 100% water through the self-assembly of carboxylatopillar[5]arene sodium salts (H) and diketopyrrolopyrrole-bridged bis(quaternary ammonium) guest (G) by host–guest interaction. With the addition of Hg2+, the fluorescence of H⊃G could be efficiently quenched. Since Hg2+ showed synergistic interactions (coordination and Hg2+- cavity interactions with G and H, respectively), crosslinked networks of H⊃G@Hg2+ were formed. A sensitive response to Hg2+ with excellent selectivity and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 7.17 × 10−7 M was obtained. Significantly, the quenching fluorescence of H⊃G@Hg2+ can be recovered after a simple treatment with Na2S. The reusability of H⊃G for the detection of Hg2+ ions was retained for four cycles, indicating the H⊃G could be efficiently used in a reversible manner. In addition, the H⊃G could efficiently detect Hg2+ concentration in real samples (tap water and lake water). The developed supramolecular system in 100% water provides great potential in the treatment of Hg2+ detection and removal for environmental sustainability.

Abstract
The formation of a cyclic dimer complex (1) and a poly-pseudo-rotaxane (2) of a racemic A1/A2-thiopyridyl pillar[5]arene (rac-L) with different chirality is reported. A one-pot reaction of rac-L with HgCl2 afforded a heterochiral cyclic dimer complex, [Hg2(pR-L)(pS-L)Cl4]·8CH2Cl2 (1), in which two Hg2+ atoms and one (pR-L)/(pS-L) enantiomeric pair form a [2:2] metallacycle via a metal coordination-based cyclization. Interestingly, the same reaction in the presence of the linear dinitrile guest, CN(CH2)8CN (G), yielded a one-dimensional poly-pseudo-rotaxane, {[Hg(G@pR-L)Cl2][Hg(G@pS-L)Cl2]}n (2), probably due to the rigidified ligand structure resulting from the dinitrile guest (G) threading. In 2, pR-L and pS-L generate two separated homochiral poly-pseudo-rotaxanes in a crystal. Both products are new members of the pillararene-derivative family. This study improves our understanding of self-assembly in nature and leads to this approach being an engineering tool for the construction of mechanically interlocked supramolecules.

Abstract
This review discusses the design and syntheses of molecular-scale pillar[n]arene-based porous materials with promising applications and summarises the development of using pillar[n]arenes as the building blocks of porous materials. From the perspective of "role of participation" in the syntheses of molecular-scale pillar[n]arene-based porous materials, the content can be divided into pillar[n]arenes serving as supramolecular nanovalves on surfaces and as ligands for metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic polymers. By integrating pillararenes, which possess rigid pillar-like structures, electron-rich cavities and desirable host-guest properties, with porous polymers of large surface areas and abundant active sites, applications of the resulting materials in drug release platforms, molecular recognition, sensing, detection, gas adsorption, removal of water pollution, organic photovoltaic materials and heterogeneous catalysis can be realised simultaneously and efficiently. Finally, in the conclusions and perspectives part, we put forward the challenges and viewpoints of the current research on pillar[n]arene-based porous materials. We hope this article can provide a timely and valuable reference for researchers interested in synthetic macrocycles and porous materials.

Abstract
Fusobacterium nucleatum caused drug-resistant around tumor sites often leads to the failure of chemotherapy during colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. Multifunctional cationic quaternary ammonium materials have been widely used as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents in antibacterial and anticancer fields. Herein, we design a smart supramolecular quaternary ammonium nanoparticle, namely quaternary ammonium PAMAM-AZO@CP[5]A (Q-P-A@CP[5]A), consisting of azobenzene (AZO)-conjugated dendritic cationic quaternary ammonium polyamidoamine (PAMAM) as the core and carboxylatopillar[5]arene (CP[5]A)-based switch, for antibacterial and anti-CRC therapies. The quaternary ammonium-PAMAM-AZO (Q-P-A) core endows the supramolecular system with enhanced antibacterial and anticancer properties. -N+CH3 groups on the surface of Q-P-A are accommodated in the CP[5]A cavity under normal conditions, which significantly improves the biocompatibility of Q-P-A@CP[5]A. Meanwhile, the CP[5]A host can be detached from -N+CH3 groups under pathological conditions, achieving efficient antibacterial and antitumor therapies. Furthermore, azoreductase in the tumor site can break the -NN- bonds of AZO in Q-P-A@CP[5]A, leading to the morphology recovery of supramolecular nanoparticles and CRC therapy through inducing cell membrane rupture. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that Q-P-A@CP[5]A possesses good biocompatibility, excellent antibacterial effect, and CRC treatment capability with negligible side effects. This supramolecular quaternary ammonium system provides an effective treatment method to overcome chemotherapy-resistant cancer caused by bacteria.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are a class of optical nanocrystals doped with lanthanide ions that offer great promise for applications in controllable tumor therapy. In recent years, UCNPs have become an important tool for studying the treatment of various malignant and nonmalignant cutaneous diseases. UCNPs convert near-infrared (NIR) radiation into shorter-wavelength visible and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is much better than conventional UV activated tumor therapy as strong UV-light can be damaging to healthy surrounding tissue. Moreover, UV light generally does not penetrate deeply into the skin, an issue that UCNPs can now address. However, the current studies are still in the early stage of research, with a long way to go before clinical implementation. In this paper, we systematically analysed recent advances in light-activated tumor therapy using functionalized UCNPs. We summarized the purpose and mechanism of UCNP-based photodynamic therapy (PDT), gene therapy, immunotherapy, chemo-therapy and integrated therapy. We believe the creation of functional materials based on UCNPs will offer superior performance and enable innovative applications, increasing the scope and opportunities for cancer therapy in the future.

Abstract
The spreading of pesticide droplets on the surface of superhydrophobic plants is an important process, which can prevent the inadequate retention such as bouncing, splashing, and drifting, thereby improving the efficiency of pesticide utilization and reducing soil and groundwater pollution. Herein, we report an approach to fabricate a supramolecular amphiphilic system that significantly contributes to this issue. The hydrophilic amino-pillar[5]arene was synthesized, which could form vesicles with the hydrophobic long-chain guest. This host-guest complex decreased the surface tension, which greatly promotes the spreading of droplets. This study provides a new strategy for prolonging pesticide retention and reducing pesticide loss.

Abstract
An orthogonal strategy was utilized for synthesizing a novel water-soluble pillar[5]arene (m-TPEWP5) with tetraphenylethene-functionalized on the bridged methylene group (meso-position) of the pillararene skeleton. The obtained macrocycle exhibit both the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect and interesting host-guest property. Moreover, it can be made to bind with a tailor-made camptothecin-based prodrug guest (DNS-G) to form AIE-nanoparticles based on host-guest interaction and the fluorescence resonance energy transfer process for fabricating a drug delivery system. This novel type of water-soluble AIE-active macrocycle can serve as a potential fluorescent material for cancer diagnosis and therapy. In addition, the present orthogonal strategy for designing meso-functionalized aromatic macrocycles may pave a new avenue for creating novel supramolecular structures and functional materials.

Abstract
Cancer is a heterogeneous and complex disease. Traditional cancer therapy is associated with low therapeutic index, acquired resistance, and various adverse effects. With the increasing understanding of cancer biology and technology advancements, more strategies have been exploited to optimize the therapeutic outcomes. The rapid development and application of nanomedicine have motivated this progress. Combinational regimen, for instance, has become an indispensable approach for effective cancer treatment, including the combination of chemotherapeutic agents, chemo-energy, chemo-gene, chemo-small molecules, and chemo-immunology. Additionally, smart nanoplatforms that respond to external stimuli (such as light, temperature, ultrasound, and magnetic field), and/or to internal stimuli (such as changes in pH, enzymes, hypoxia, and redox) have been extensively investigated to improve precision therapy. Smart nanoplatforms for combinational therapy have demonstrated the potential to be the next generation cancer treatment regimen. This review aims to highlight the recent advances in smart combinational therapy.

Abstract
Dual labeled contrast agents could provide better complementary information for bioimaging than available solely from a single modality. In this paper we investigate the suitability of Yb3+ and Er3+-doped BaYF5 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as both optical and X-ray micro computed tomography (μCT) contrast agents. Stable, aqueous UCNP dispersions were synthesised using a hydrothermal method with the addition of polyethyleneimine (PEI). UCNPs were single crystal and had a truncated cuboidal and/or truncated octahedral morphology, with average particle size of 47 ±9 nm from transmission electron microscopy which was further used to characterize the structure and composition in detail. A zeta potential value of +51 mV was measured for the aqueous nanoparticle dispersions which is beneficial for cell permeability. The outer hydrated PEI layer is also advantageous for the attachment of proteins for targeted delivery in biological systems. The prepared UCNPs were proven to be non-toxic to endothelial cells up to a concentration of 3.5 mg/mL, when assessed using an MTT assay. The particles showed intense green upconversion photoluminescence when excited at a wavelength of 976 nm using a diode laser. Quantitative X-ray μCT contrast imaging confirmed the potential of these UCNPs as X-ray contrast agents and confirming their dual modality for bioimaging.

Abstract
Among the many challenges in medicine, the treatment and cure of cancer remains an outstanding goal given the complexity and diversity of the disease. Nanotheranostics, the integration of therapy and diagnosis in nanoformulations, is the next generation of personalized medicine to meet the challenges in precise cancer diagnosis, rational management and effective therapy, aiming to significantly increase the survival rate and improve the life quality of cancer patients. Different from most conventional platforms with unsatisfactory theranostic capabilities, supramolecular cancer nanotheranostics have unparalleled advantages in early-stage diagnosis and personal therapy, showing promising potential in clinical translations and applications. In this review, we summarize the progress of supramolecular cancer nanotheranostics and provide guidance for designing new targeted supramolecular theranostic agents. Based on extensive state-of-the-art research, our review will provide the existing and new researchers a foundation from which to advance supramolecular cancer nanotheranostics and promote translationally clinical applications.

Abstract
Theranostic nanosystems are emerging as a promising approach for controlled drug delivery, diagnosis and multimodal therapeutics. Herein, a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform is reported for photothermal-chemo combination therapy functioned with magnetic and thermal imaging. Hyaluronic acid (HA) coated Fe3O4@polydopamine nanoparticles equipped with redox-sensitive disulfide linkers have been subsequently deposited with an anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX) (termed as FPCH-DOX NPs). These nanocomposites possess an average diameter of 120 nm, a saturation magnetization of 28.5 emu g-1, DOX loading capacity of 7.13% and a transverse relaxation rate of 171.76 mM-1 s-1. The drug release could be triggered by pH, glutathione (GSH) concentration and light irradiation. Prussian blue staining and confocal microscopy demonstrate that these nanoplatforms have improved biocompatibility and cellular uptake in CD44-positive HeLa cell lines rather than in CD44-negative NIH 3T3 normal cell lines. In vitro evaluations demonstrate that the combination therapy of FPCH-DOX NPs lowers the cell viability to 16.2%, less than that of individual chemotherapy (55.3%) or PTT (52.1%). In vivo MRI indicates that the tumor accumulation of FPCH-DOX NPs provides enhanced MRI contrast, and in vivo thermal imaging verified their localized photothermal conversion effect in tumor tissues. Importantly, FPCH-DOX NPs present remarkable anti-tumor efficacy by photothermal-chemo combination therapy. H&E and Ki67 staining tests show obvious necrosis and weak cell proliferation at the region of the tumor. Thus, FPCH-DOX NPs are promising multifunctional nanoplatforms for highly effective cancer theranostics.

Abstract
With the rapid progress of nanotechnology, near-infrared (NIR), light-assisted phototherapy as a minimally invasive local cancer therapy, especially photothermal therapy (PTT), has captured broad research attention in recent years. However, combined target molecules with a PTT system through reversible supramolecular interactions has been reported rarely. In this work, we constructed a supramolecular nanosystem combining ATP capture and target PTT based on cationic pillar[5]arene (CWP5)-functionalized Cu2-xSe nanoparticles (Cu2-xSe@CWP5 NPs). Cu2-xSe@CWP5 NPs, with an average diameter of approximately 100 nm and strong absorption in the near-infrared-II window, were prepared in water through a facile one-step in situ synthesis method, then (4-carboxybutyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (TPP), a mitochondria-targeted molecule, was modified on the surface of the particles through the host-guest recognition. Upon irradiation with a 1064 nm laser, the obtained Cu2-xSe@CWP5/TPP NPs showed remarkably photothermal ablation capability to HeLa cells. Importantly, our Cu2-xSe@CWP5/TPP NPs exhibited excellent therapeutic effect due to the combination of inhibited hydrolysis of ATP and targeted photothermal therapy upon in vitro and in vivo studies. Significantly, through host-guest interactions, we can modify different types of target molecules within this PTT system at will.

Abstract
In this work, we developed a simple and selective luminescence sensing system for detecting ascorbic acid (AA) based on NaGdF4:Yb,Er@NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and oxidase-like CoOOH nanoflakes. When p-phenylenediamine (PPD) and oxidase-like CoOOH nanoflakes were added to the UCNPs solutions, PPD, as a typical substrate of oxidase, could be oxidized to PPDox. The luminescence intensity of UCNPs was quenched because PPDox could play a role as an energy acceptor. When AA was added to the above solution mixture, the CoOOH nanoflakes were destroyed, and then, the luminescence intensity was recovered. Under the best experimental conditions, the linear range for detection of AA was 0.8 to 280 μM, and the detection limit was 0.25 μM. Furthermore, the system could be applied to real sample analysis with satisfactory results.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of new synthetic macrocycles has driven the rapid development of supramolecular chemistry and materials. Pillar[n]arenes, as a new type of macrocyclic compounds, are used as a promising type of building blocks for switchable supramolecular systems due to their versatile functionalization and the ability of binding toward various guest molecules. A number of guests can form inclusion complexes with pillar[n]arenes and their derivatives in solution, which are sensitive to different external triggers. Interestingly, the pursuit of complex stimuli-responsive functional materials and devices has largely motivated the shift of pillar[n]arene-based switches from solution media to surfaces for controllable macroscopic motions on solid platforms. Facilitated by the facile modification of pillar[n]arenes on various solid supports and the dynamic binding of host-guest complexes, numerous functional hybrid materials with adjustable physical or chemical properties and integrated functionalities have been reported in the last decade. Here, the advance of supramolecular switches in solution and on surfaces based on pillar[n]arenes and derivatives with an emphasis on the efforts and the latest contributions from the field is discussed.

Abstract
Herein, inspired by the structure of a dandelion, we develop a fresh preparation of an upconversion nanoplatform (UCNPs@C60-DOX-FA). The target part folic acid (FA) modified with β-CD-NH2 can enhance dispersibility and afford the nanoplatform to arrive at the tumor and enter cancer cells easily. After the mouse breast cancer (4T1) cell incubation with the nanoplatform, the abundant glutathione (GSH) in cells cuts the -S-S- bonds like scissors, just as dandelion encountering wind, and the drug doxorubicin (DOX) flows into the nucleus for chemotherapy. Meanwhile, the photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect is enhanced with the decrease content of GSH, which promotes the reactive oxygen species to accumulation. The synergistic chemotherapy and PDT are outstanding in killing 4T1 cells. The rest part UCNPs@C60 possesses excellent biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity. As for cancer diagnosis, UCNPs can be used as a visual imaging agent. Benefited by the delicate structure, all of the functional parts of the nanoplatform go and coordinate well. On account of an FA ligand and the -S-S- bond, the nanoplatform works very well in 4T1 cells while it is able to avoid damage to normal cells since the FA receptors and GSH have overexpression in the 4T1 cells. Thus, this work shows an accessible strategy to design a dandelion-like hierarchical nanoplatform for potential bioimaging-guided synergistic chemo-photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Fluorescence sensing has the advantages of being real time, noninvasive, and convenient and having a low impact on the original environment for in vivo detection. Here, a reversible time-gated ratiometric in vivo detection method that could eliminate the interferences from probe amount, photon scattering, and absorption is proposed. Correspondingly, the composite probe must be able to reversibly respond to changes in the microenvironment and emit two luminescence signals at the same working wavelength but different lifetimes. Benefitting from the reversible detection mechanism, the probes could be used to monitor a dynamic biological process and the ratio signal value could be determined only by the concentration of analytes, independent of the probe concentration. Furthermore, benefitting from the same working wavelength, the read-out errors from photon absorption and scattering could be minimized. This method is very suitable for in vivo detection in which the probe distribution and depth are unknown and variable. As a typical model, different pH values in the gastrointestinal area and pH changes caused by drugs and fasting are successfully monitored.

Abstract
Tailoring personalized cancer nanomedicines demands detailed understanding of the tumor microenvironment. In recent years, smart upconversion nanoparticles with the ability to exploit the unique characteristics of the tumor microenvironment for precise targeting have been designed. To activate upconversion nanoparticles, various bio-physicochemical characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, namely, acidic pH, redox reactants, and hypoxia, are exploited. Stimuli-responsive upconversion nanoparticles also utilize the excessive presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), riboflavin, and Zn2+ in tumors. An overview of the design of stimulus-responsive upconversion nanoparticles that precisely target and respond to tumors via targeting the tumor microenvironment and intracellular signals is provided. Detailed understanding of the tumor microenvironment and the personalized design of upconversion nanoparticles will result in more effective clinical translation.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles as drug delivery systems (DDS) have received huge attention in nanomedicine research. However, their drug release processes were usually discussed in the absence of proteins, which are abundant in real delivery media and likely to affect the release behaviors. In this work, novel pH-sensitive silica-based DDSs were constructed using the endogenous protein, human serum albumin (HSA), as the gatekeeper, and their release properties in protein-containing media were measured for the first time. As-synthesized mesoporous silica nanorod (MSNR) was modified with zwitterions to suppress the nonspecific adsorption of protein and to improve the dispersity. HSA was fixed onto MSNR through drug-protein interactions and covalent bonds, respectively. Benzoic-imine bonds were introduced into the designs to realize pH responsiveness. The fluorescence quenching effect of drugs on HSA was used to monitor the drug release in simulated body fluids containing proteins. The results indicated that protein gating could effectively reduce premature release in normal blood environment. The endogenous protein capping, high dispersity and stability, considerable loading content, low cytotoxicity and favorable responsiveness to acidic microenvironment enable the present structures to be promising carriers for chemotherapy drugs.

Abstract
Here we describe the assembly and pH-driven operation of two nanocarriers based on non-functionalized (MCM-41) and carboxylate-functionalized (MCM-41-COOH) containers loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and capped by quaternary ammonium pillar[5]arene (P[5]A) nanogates. MCM-41 and MCM-41-COOH containers were synthesized and transmission and scanning electron microscopies showed nanoparticles with spherical morphology and dimensions of 85 ± 13 nm. The nanochannels of MCM-41 loaded with DOX were gated through the electrostatic interactions between P[5]A and the silanolate groups formed at the silica-water interface, yielding the MCM-41-DOX-P[5]A nanocarrier. The second nanocarrier was gated through the electrostatic interactions between the carboxylate groups mounted on the surface of MCM-41 and P[5]A, resulting in the MCM-41-COO-DOX-P[5]A nanocarrier. The DOX release profiles from both nanocarriers were investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy at different pH values (2.0, 5.5 and 7.4) and also in the presence of ions, such as citrate3- (19 mmol L-1) and Zn2+ (1.2 and 50 mmol L-1) at 37 °C. MCM-41-COO-DOX-P[5]A can be turned on and off eight times through the formation and breaking of electrostatic interactions. In vitro studies show that MCM-41-COO-DOX-P[5]A can penetrate and release DOX in the nucleus of human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cancer cells leading to a pronounced cytotoxic effect. Therefore, the fabricated nanocarrier based on a water-soluble cationic pillar[5]arene nanogate, which is reversibly opened and closed by electrostatic interactions, can be considered as a promising drug transport and delivery technique for future cancer therapy.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanomaterials for bioprobe and drug carrier have drawn great attention for their applications in the early monitoring the progression and treatment of cancers. In this work, we have developed new multifunctional water-soluble NaLnF4@MOF-Ln nanocomposites with dual-mode luminescence, which is based on stokes luminescent mesoporous lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (MOFs-Y:Eu3+) and anti-stokes luminescent NaYF4:Tm3+/Yb3+ nanoparticles. The fluorescence mechanism and dynamics are investigated and the applications of these nanocomposites as bioprobes and drug carriers in the cancer imaging and treatment are explored. Our results demonstrate that these nanocomposites with the excellent two-color emission show great potential in drug delivery, cancer cell imaging, and treatment, which are attributed to the unique spatial structure and good biocompatibility characteristics of NaLnF4@MOF-Ln nanocomposites.
