Abstract
Cryotherapy leverages controlled freezing temperature interventions to engender a cascade of tumor-suppressing effects. However, its bottleneck lies in the standalone ineffectiveness. A promising strategy is using nanoparticle therapeutics to augment the efficacy of cryotherapy. Here, a cold-responsive nanoplatform composed of upconversion nanoparticles coated with silica - chlorin e6 - hyaluronic acid (UCNPs@SiO2-Ce6-HA) is designed. This nanoplatform is employed to integrate cryotherapy with photodynamic therapy (PDT) in order to improve skin cancer treatment efficacy in a synergistic manner. The cryotherapy appeared to enhance the upconversion brightness by suppressing the thermal quenching. The low-temperature treatment afforded a 2.45-fold enhancement in the luminescence of UCNPs and a 3.15-fold increase in the photodynamic efficacy of UCNPs@SiO2-Ce6-HA nanoplatforms. Ex vivo tests with porcine skins and the subsequent validation in mouse tumor tissues revealed the effective HA-mediated transdermal delivery of designed nanoplatforms to deep tumor tissues. After transdermal delivery, in vivo photodynamic therapy using the UCNPs@SiO2-Ce6-HA nanoplatforms resulted in the optimized efficacy of 79% in combination with cryotherapy. These findings underscore the Cryo-PDT as a truly promising integrated treatment paradigm and warrant further exploring the synergistic interplay between cryotherapy and PDT with bright upconversion to unlock their full potential in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Catalytic nanoparticles (CNPs) as heterogeneous catalyst reveals superior activity due to their physio-chemical features, such as high surface-to-volume ratio and unique optical, electric, and magnetic properties. The CNPs, based on their physio-chemical nature, can either increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level for tumor and antibacterial therapy or eliminate the ROS for cytoprotection, anti-inflammation, and anti-aging. In addition, the catalytic activity of nanozymes can specifically trigger a specific reaction accompanied by the optical feature change, presenting the feasibility of biosensor and bioimaging applications. Undoubtedly, CNPs play a pivotal role in pushing the evolution of technologies in medical and clinical fields, and advanced strategies and nanomaterials rely on the input of chemical experts to develop. Herein, a systematic and comprehensive review of the challenges and recent development of CNPs for biomedical applications is presented from the viewpoint of advanced nanomaterial with unique catalytic activity and additional functions. Furthermore, the biosafety issue of applying biodegradable and non-biodegradable nanozymes and future perspectives are critically discussed to guide a promising direction in developing span-new nanozymes and more intelligent strategies for overcoming the current clinical limitations.

Specificity of hexarhenium cluster anions for synthesis of Mn 2+-based nanoparticles with lamellar shape and pH-induced leaching for specific organ selectivity in MRI contrasting. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 659:1052-1062.

Abstract
The present work demonstrates the structure variation of hexarhenium anionic cluster units [{Re6S8}(CN)(6-n)(OH)n]4- (n = 0, 2, 4) as the strategy to develop Mn2+-containing nanoparticles (NPs) exhibiting pH-dependent leaching. The dicyanotetrahydroxo complex [{Re6S8}(CN)2(OH)4]4- is the optimal for the synthesis of the Mn2+-based NPs with a lamellar shape exhibiting the pH-dependent aggregation and magnetic relaxation behavior. The pH-dependent behavior of the NPs derives from the easy protonation of the apical hydroxo ligands of [{Re6S8}(CN)2(OH)4]4- cluster, which triggers partial leaching of Mn2+ ions and aggregation of the NPs driven by the surface neutralization. The in vivo MRI scanning of the mice intravenously injected with the NPs indicates the preferable accumulation of the lamellar NPs within mouse intestine over liver and kidneys. This differs from the spherical NPs constructed from [{Re6Se8}(CN)6]4- units, which provide the preferable brightening of mouse liver over kidneys and intestine.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been considered as a promising treatment in the biomedical field because of low toxicity to normal tissues and minor trauma area. However, the PDT effect of materials is greatly affected by many factors, such as nonspecific adsorption and poor light penetration, etc. In this work, an intelligent nano platform has been constructed based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) loaded with a large amount of photosensitizers Ce6, which could specifically light up tumor tissues and stimulate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, exhibiting a conspicuous imaging and therapeutic effect of PDT treatment for deep tumors. An excellent anti-fouling performance in complex biological substrate was obtained upon the judicious introduction of anti-fouling peptide, which also contributed to the improved PDT efficiency. In addition, the specificity of nanoplatform to malignant breast cancer cells was realized by modification of polypeptide targeting for HER2. This anti-fouling nanoplatform provided an original paradigm for the development of fluorescence imaging and PDT for deep tumor tissue with high targeting and therapeutic efficacy, promising to be used in the early therapy of malignant breast cancer specifically.

Abstract
The acidic characteristic of the tumor site is one of the most well-known features and provides a series of opportunities for cancer-specific theranostic strategies. In this regard, pH-responsive theranostic nanoplatforms that integrate diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities are highly developed. The fluidity of the tumor microenvironment (TME), with its temporal and spatial heterogeneities, makes noninvasive molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology very desirable for imaging TME constituents and developing MRI-guided theranostic nanoplatforms for tumor-specific treatments. Therefore, various MRI-based theranostic strategies which employ assorted therapeutic modes have been drawn up for more efficient cancer therapy through the raised local concentration of therapeutic agents in pathological tissues. In this review, we summarize the pH-responsive mechanisms of organic components (including polymers, biological molecules, and organosilicas) as well as inorganic components (including metal coordination compounds, metal oxides, and metal salts) of theranostic nanoplatforms. Furthermore, we review the designs and applications of pH-responsive theranostic nanoplatforms for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In addition, the challenges and prospects in developing theranostic nanoplatforms with pH-responsiveness for cancer diagnosis and therapy are discussed.

Abstract
Photoactivation therapy based on photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) has been identified as a tumour ablation modality for numerous cancer indications, with photosensitisers and photothermal conversion agents playing important roles in the phototherapy process, especially in recent decades. In addition, the iteration of nanotechnology has strongly promoted the development of phototherapy in tumour treatment. PDT can increase the sensitivity of tumour cells to PTT by interfering with the tumour microenvironment, whereas the heat generated by PTT can increase blood flow, improve oxygen supply and enhance the PDT therapeutic effect. In addition, tumour cell debris generated by phototherapy can serve as tumour-associated antigens, evoking antitumor immune responses. In this review, the research progress of phototherapy, and its research effects in combination with immunotherapy on the treatment of tumours are mainly outlined, and issues that may need continued attention in the future are raised.

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
Background Postoperative chemotherapy for gastric cancer often causes multidrug resistance (MDR), which has serious consequences for therapeutic effects. Individualized treatment based on accurate monitoring of MDR will greatly improve patient survival. Results In this article, a self-enhanced Mn3O4 nanoplatform (MPG NPs) was established, which can react with glutathione to produce Mn2+ to enhance T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and mediate in vivo real-time MDR monitoring. In vitro MRI results showed that MRI signals could be enhanced in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and glutathione and at acidic pH. In vivo MRI results indicated that MPG NPs could specifically target MDR cells, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of MDR in gastric cancer. Furthermore, MPG NPs have good chemodynamic activity, which can convert the endogenous hydrogen peroxide of tumor cells into highly toxic hydroxyl radical through Fenton-like reaction at acidic pH to play the role of chemodynamic therapy. In addition, Mn3O4 can significantly enhance the chemodynamic therapy effect because of its good photothermal conversion effect. Furthermore, in situ photothermal/chemodynamic synergistic therapy obtained remarkable results, the tumors of the mice in the synergistic therapy group gradually became smaller or even disappeared. Conclusions MPG NPs have good biocompatibility, providing a good nanoplatform for real-time monitoring and precise diagnosis and treatment of MDR in gastric cancer. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Abstract
Glucose oxidase-mediated starvation therapy that effectively cuts off energy supply holds great promise in cancer treatment. However, high glutathione (GSH) contents and anoxic conditions severely reduce therapy efficiency and cannot fully kill cancer cells. Herein, to resolve the above problem, this study constructed a biomimetic nanosystem based on nanreproo-MnO2with porous craspedia globose-like structure and high specific surface area, and it was further modified with dopamine and folic acid to guarantee good biocompatibility and selectivity toward cancer cells. This nanosystem responsively degraded and reacted with GSH and acid to regenerate O2, which significantly increased intracellular O2levels, accelerated glucose consumption, and improved starvation therapy efficiency. Moreover, anticancer drug of camptothecin was further loaded, and notably enhanced cancer growth inhibition was obtained at very low drug concentrations. Most importantly, this novel therapy could unprecedentedly inhibit cancer cell migration to a very low ratio of 19%, and detailed cell apoptosis analyses revealed late stage apoptosis contributed most to the good therapeutic effect. This work reported a new train of thought to improve starvation therapy in biomedicine, and provided a new strategy to design targeted nanocarrier to delivery mixed drugs to overcome the restriction of starvation therapy and develop new therapy patterns.

Abstract
Despite the great potential of cascade catalytic reactions in tumor treatment, uncontrolled catalytic activities in vivo lead to inevitable off-target toxicity to normal tissues, which greatly hampers their clinical conversion. Herein, an intelligent cascade nanoreactor (hMnO2-Au@PDA, hMAP) was constructed by depositing glucose oxidase (GOx)-mimicking ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) into honeycomb-shaped manganese oxide (hMnO2) nanostructures and then coating them with polydopamine (PDA) to achieve pH-responsive and photothermal-enhanced nanocatalytic therapy. Upon exposure to the mild acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), the PDA gatekeeper would collapse, and the inner hMnO2 could simultaneously deplete glutathione (GSH) and generate Mn2+, while a considerable amount of H2O2 produced from the oxidation of glucose by GOx-mimicking Au NPs could accelerate the Mn2+-mediated Fenton-like reaction, yielding sufficient highly toxic ˙OH. More importantly, the pH-responsive cascade reaction between Au NPs and hMnO2 could be further enhanced by localized hyperthermia induced from PDA under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, thereby inducing significant cell apoptosis in vitro and tumor inhibition in vivo. This work provided a promising paradigm by innovatively designing a TME-responsive and photothermal-enhanced cascade catalytic nanoreactor for safe and efficient cancer therapy.

Abstract
Solid tumors possess a unique internal environment with high-level thiols (mainly glutathione), over-expressed H2 O2 , and low oxygen partial pressure, which severely restrict the radiotherapy (RT) efficacy. To overcome the imperfections of RT alone, there is vital to design a multifunctional radiosensitizer that simultaneously achieves multimodal therapy and tumor microenvironment (TME) regulation. Bismuth (Bi)-based nanospheres are wrapped in the MnO2 layer to form core-shell-structured radiosensitizer (Bi@Mn) that can effectively load docetaxel (DTX). The solubility of Bi@Mn-DTX is further improved via folic acid-modified amphiphilic polyethylene glycol (PFA). Bi@Mn-DTX-PFA can specifically respond to the TME to realize multimodal therapy. Primarily, the outer MnO2 layer responds with H2 O2 and glutathione to release oxygen and generate •OH, thereby alleviating hypoxia and achieving chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Afterward, the strong coordination between Bi3+ and deprotonated thiol groups in glutathione allows the mesoporous Bi-containing core bonding with glutathione to form a water-soluble complex. These actions conduce Bi@Mn-DTX-PFA degradation, further releasing DTX to implement chemotherapy (CHT). In addition, the degradation in vivo and tumor enrichment of Bi@Mn-PFA are explored via T1 -weighted magnetic resonance and computed tomography imaging. The biodegradable composite Bi@Mn-DTX-PFA can simultaneously modulate the TME and achieve multimodal treatment (RT/CDT/CHT) for hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
The strong upconversion luminescence (UCL) of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) endows the nanoparticles with attractive features for combined imaging and drug delivery. UCNPs convert near-infrared (NIR) light into light of shorter wavelengths such as light in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible regions, which can be used for light-guided drug delivery. Although light-responsive drug delivery systems as such have been known for many years, their application in medicine is limited, as strong UV-light can be damaging to tissue; moreover, UV light will not penetrate deeply into the skin, an issue that UCNPs can now address. However, UCNPs, as obtained after synthesis, are usually hydrophobic and require further surface functionalization to be stable in plasma. Polymers can serve as versatile surface coatings, as they can provide good colloidal stability, prevent the formation of a protein corona, provide a matrix for drugs, and be stimuli-responsive. In this Review, we provide a brief overview of the most recent progress in the synthesis of UCNPs with different shapes/sizes. We will then discuss the purpose of polymer coating for drug delivery before summarizing the strategies to coat UCNPs with various polymers. We will introduce the different polymers that have so far been used to coat UCNPs with the purpose to create a drug delivery system, focusing in detail on light-responsive polymers. To expand the application of UCNPs to allow photothermal therapy or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or to simply enhance the loading capacity of drugs, UCNPs were often combined with other materials to generate multifunctional nanoparticles such as carbon-based NPs and nanoMOFs. We then conclude with a discussion on drug loading and release and summarize the current knowledge on the toxicity of these polymer-coated UCNPs.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanocomposites have drawn great attention in clinical applications because of their ability to integrate diagnostic and therapeutic functions. Manganese dioxide (MnO2), owing to its biocompatibility and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) properties, has been widely applied in biomedical research. Our previous work on biogenic MnO2 nanoparticles (Bio-MnO2 NPs) revealed that intrinsic photothermal properties and stimuli-responsive MRI imaging are particularly promising for the development of theranostic systems. However, further improvement in the photothermal therapy (PTT) performance of Bio-MnO2 NPs is still required. Herein, we have improved the PTT efficiency of Bio-MnO2 NPs by in situ synthesis of fluorescent polydopamine (PDA) while generating additional stimuli responsive fluorescence properties in this system, thus further broadening the scope of their theranostic functions. These synthesis conditions are mild and green. The fluorescence of PDA was quenched by capping Bio-MnO2 NPs and could be recovered upon degradation of Bio-MnO2 NPs inside tumour cells. Additionally, Mn2+ released from the nanoparticles can support T1-weighted MR imaging. Compared to the Bio-MnO2 NPs alone, the integration of Bio-MnO2 NPs and PDA significantly enhances the photothermal performance in vitro and in vivo. With their high biocompatibility, these multifunctional composite nanodevices hold great potential for fluorescence imaging and MRI-guided photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a major cause of cardiovascular diseases, but its effective theranostic measure remains challenging thus far. Macrophages contribute to AS progress in diverse ways such as producing cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS), foaming macrophages, and differentiating into pro-inflammatory macrophages. With the aim of constructing a facile and efficacious theranostic system for diagnosis and treatment of AS, a templated self-assembly approach was developed. This strategy involves using indole molecule (indocyanine green (ICG) or IR783) as a template to assemble with probucol (PB) to gain multifunctional nanoparticles (IPNPs or IRPNPs). IPNPs and IRPNPs both showed excellent physicochemical properties, which testified the generality of the indole molecular self-assembly strategy for PB delivery. Besides, the nanoparticles have superior pharmaceutical characteristics including preventing macrophages from differentiating, more efficiently internalizing in inflammatory macrophages, eliminating overproduced ROS, lowering the level of inflammation cytokines, and inhibiting foaming. More importantly, IPNPs displayed effective therapeutic effects in AS model mice when administered via intravenous (i.v.) route. In addition, IPNPs and IRPNPs accumulated more effectively than ICG and IR783 via i.v. injection in the lesion area, and the blood circulation time was extended beyond 24 h. More interestingly, we discovered that the fluorescence imaging ability of IR783 and IRPNPs was more excellent than ICG and IPNPs, respectively. Moreover, a long-term treatment with IPNPs or IRPNPs revealed an excellent safety profile in mice. Accordingly, this self-assembly strategy developed herein is a universal and promising way for the delivery of lipophilic drugs. This study also provides new insights into developing effective theranostic agents for AS.

Abstract
Dynamic therapy, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) or chemodynamic therapy (CDT), is one of the most promising therapeutic strategies for tumors. Integrating the advantages of near-infrared-induced PDT and CDT can potentially improve the therapeutic performance. A single primitive nanostructure, CuWO4 nanodots, was developed. It could generate reactive oxygen species under 808 nm light irradiation and release copper ions into the acid tumor microenvironment, thereby boosting Fenton-like reactions. The PDT and CDT would occur when the nanodots were introduced into the tumor tissue and irradiated under 808 nm light. The results of combined PDT and CDT antitumor studies showed the effective inhibition of tumor tissue growth, thereby suggesting that the nanodots are candidate agents for synergistic antitumor applications.

Abstract
Theranostic nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as promising candidates for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Manganese dioxide (MnO2)-based NPs are potential contrast agents with excellent paramagnetic property and biocompatibility, exhibiting satisfactory magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) effects and biological safety. Recently, hyaluronic acid (HA) has gained increasing interest due to its tumor-targeting ability, which can improve the tumor affinity of manganese dioxide (MnO2)-based NPs. In this study, HA-coated and albumin (BSA)-templated MnO2 and polydopamine hybrid nanoparticles (HMDNs) with tumor-targeting and superior imaging capability were fabricated via modifying the nanoparticles prepared by integrating dopamine polymerization and MnO2 biomineralization. The modification was found to enhance the cellular uptake of HMDNs by cancer cells. The prepared HMDN had high MRI contrasting capability with a longitudinal relaxivity of 22.2 mM-1 s-1 and strong photothermal therapy (PTT) effects with nearly complete tumor ablation under laser irradiation in vivo. HMDNs also showed effective clearance through kidneys, with no toxicity to important tissues. Therefore, HMDNs with superior imaging and PTT capability presented a new method to prepare tumor-targeting multifunctional nanotheranostics.

Abstract
The exploitation of effective strategies to develop materials bearing deep tissue focal fluorescence imaging capacity and excellent reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation ability is of great interest to address the high-priority demand of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Therefore, we use a rational strategy to fabricate a two-photon-active metal-organic framework via a click reaction (PCN-58-Ps). Moreover, PCN-58-Ps is capped with hyaluronic acid through coordination to obtain cancer cell-specific targeting properties. As a result, the optimized composite PCN-58-Ps-HA exhibits considerable two-photon activity (upon laser excitation at a wavelength of 910 nm) and excellent light-triggered ROS (1O2 and O2•-) generation ability. In summary, the interplay of these two critical factors within the PCN-58-Ps-HA framework gives rise to near-infrared light-activated two-photon PDT for deep tissue cancer imaging and treatment, which has great potential for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Advances in technology and nanomedicine have led to the development of nanoparticles that can be activated for multimodal imaging of cancer, where a stimulus induces a material modification that enhances image contrast. Multimodal imaging using nanomaterials with this capability can combine the advantages and overcome the limitations of any single imaging modality. When designed with stimuli-responsive abilities, the target-to-background ratio of multimodal imaging nanoprobes increases because specific stimuli in the tumor enhance the signal. Several aspects of the tumor microenvironment can be exploited as an internal stimulus response for multimodal imaging applications, such as the pH gradient, redox processes, overproduction of various enzymes, or combinations of these. In this review, design strategies are discussed and an overview of the recent developments of internally responsive multimodal nanomaterials is provided. Properly implementing this approach improves noninvasive cancer diagnosis and staging as well as provides a method to monitor drug delivery and treatment response.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) works through photoactivation of a specific photosensitizer (PS) in a tumor in the presence of oxygen. PDT is widely applied in oncology to treat various cancers as it has a minimally invasive procedure and high selectivity, does not interfere with other treatments, and can be repeated as needed. A large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and singlet oxygen is generated in a cancer cell during PDT, which destroys the tumor effectively. However, the efficacy of PDT in treating a deep-seated tumor is limited due to three main reasons: Limited light penetration depth, low oxygen concentration in the hypoxic core, and poor PS accumulation inside a tumor. Thus, PDT treatments are only approved for superficial and thin tumors. With the advancement of nanotechnology, PDT to treat deep-seated or thick tumors is becoming a reachable goal. In this review, we provide an update on the strategies for improving PDT with nanomedicine using different sophisticated-design nanoparticles, including two-photon excitation, X-ray activation, targeting tumor cells with surface modification, alteration of tumor cell metabolism pathways, release of therapeutic gases, improvement of tumor hypoxia, and stimulation of host immunity. We focus on the difficult-to-treat pancreatic cancer as a model to demonstrate the influence of advanced nanomedicine in PDT. A bright future of PDT application in the treatment of deep-seated tumors is expected.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), an emerging approach that involves photosensitizers, light, and molecular oxygen, has shown promise for fighting periodontitis. However, PDT does not always acquire the desired therapeutic outcomes since some photosensitizers have strong hydrophobic properties and are difficult to absorb efficiently by periodontal pathogenic bacteria. Here, a hydrophobic photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) was hydrophilically modified via conjugation with TAT peptide, a cationic cell-penetrating peptide, to improve its solubility and enhance its bacterial adsorption by promoting its interaction with the negatively charged cell walls and penetration through the cell membranes. The obtained TAT-Ce6 conjugate (TAT-Ce6) was used to prepare self-assembled nanoparticles (NPs) for loading tinidazole (TDZ), a clinically used antibiotic agent, thus hoping to achieve synergistic antiperiodontitis effects through combining PDT and antibiotic therapy. Compared to free Ce6, TAT-Ce6 nanoparticles (TAT-Ce6 NPs) had greatly enhanced adsorption and penetration abilities for periodontal pathogen bacteria and also exhibited significantly increased PDT efficiencies in both periodontal pathogen bacteria and monocyte macrophages. Upon 635 nm laser irradiation, TDZ-loaded TAT-Ce6 (TAT-Ce6/TDZ) NPs exerted remarkable synergistic antiperiodontitis effects of PDT and antibiotic therapy, reflecting in the effective killing of periodontal pathogenic bacteria in vitro and the reduced adsorption of alveolar bone in the Sprague-Dawley rat model of periodontitis. Altogether, this study develops a novel photosensitizer that can be efficiently absorbed by the periodontal pathogenic bacteria and also provides a potent combination strategy of PDT with antibiotic therapy for clinical periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
The development of near-infrared (NIR) laser triggered phototheranostics for multimodal imaging-guided combination therapy is highly desirable. However, multiple laser sources, as well as inadequate therapeutic efficacy, impede the application of phototheranostics. Here, we develop an all-in-one theranostic nanoagent PEGylated DCNP@DMSN-MoOx NPs (DCDMs) with a flower-like structure fabricated by coating uniformly sized down-conversion nanoparticles (DCNPs) with dendritic mesoporous silica (DMSN) and then loading the ultrasmall oxygen-deficient molybdenum oxide nanoparticles (MoOx NPs) inside through an electrostatic interaction. Owing to the doping of Nd ions, when excited by an 808 nm laser, DCNPs emit bright NIR-II emissions (1060 and 1300 nm), which have characteristic high spatial resolution and deep tissue penetration. In terms of treatment, MoOx NPs could be specifically activated by excessive hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor microenvironment, thus generating 1O2 via the Russell mechanism. In addition, the excessive glutathione (GSH) in the tumor cells could be depleted through the Mo-mediated redox reaction, thus effectively decreasing the antioxidant capacity of tumor cells. Importantly, the excellent photothermal properties (photothermal conversion efficiency of 51.5% under an 808 nm laser) synergistically accelerate the generation of 1O2. This cyclic redox reaction of molybdenum indeed ensured the high efficacy of tumor-specific therapy, leaving the normal tissues unharmed. MoOx NPs could also efficiently catalyze tumor endogenous H2O2 into a considerable amount of O2 in an acidic tumor microenvironment, thus relieving hypoxia in tumor tissues. Moreover, the computed tomography (CT) and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) effect from Gd3+ and Y3+ ions make DCNPs act as a hybrid imaging agent, allowing comprehensive analysis of tumor lesions. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments validate that such an "all-in-one" nanoplatform possesses desirable anticancer abilities under single laser source irradiation, benefiting from the NIR-II fluorescence/CT/MR multimodal imaging-guided photothermal/chemodynamic synergistic therapy. Overall, our strategy paves the way to explore other noninvasive cancer phototheranostics.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been widely employed for tumor imaging using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging. The short blood clearance time and immunogenicity of UCNPs have limited their further application in vivo. We have designed UCNPs camouflaged with an exterior red blood cell (RBC) membrane coating (RBC-UCNPs) to solve these problems. Moreover, because of some intrinsic disadvantages of MRI and UCL imaging, we investigated the use of pretargeted RBC-UCNPs for positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging to obtain more comprehensive information. Our data showed that RBC-UCNPs retained the immunity feature from the source cells and the superior optical and chemical features from the pristine UCNP cores. The tumor-targeting ability of RBC-UCNPs was enhanced by binding 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[folate(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-PEG-FA) molecules onto the cell membranes. PET imaging with short half-life radionuclides to visualize the RBC-UCNPs was successfully realized by a combination of pre-targeting and in vivo click chemistry. Blood chemistry, hematology, and histologic analysis suggested good in vivo biocompatibility of the RBC-UCNPs. Our method provides a new potential biomedical application of biomimetic nanoparticles.

Abstract
The general practice of photodynamic therapy (PDT) comprises repeated multiple sessions, where photosensitizers are repeatedly administered prior to each operation of light irradiation. To address potential problems arising from the total overdose of photosensitizer by such repeated injections, we here introduce an internalizing RGD peptide (iRGD) derivative (Ppa-iRGDC-BK01) that self-aggregates into an injectable single-component supramolecular depot. Ppa-iRGDC-BK01 is designed as an in situ self-implantable photosensitizer so that it forms a depot by itself upon injection, and its molecular functions (cancer cell internalization and photosensitization) are activated by sustained release, tumor targeting, and tumor-selective proteolytic/reductive cleavage of the iRGD segment. The experimental and theoretical studies revealed that when exposed to body temperature, Ppa-iRGDC-BK01 undergoes thermally accelerated self-assembly to form a supramolecular depot through the hydrophobic interaction of the Ppa pendants and the reorganization of the interpeptide hydrogen bonding. It turned out that the self-aggregation of Ppa-iRGDC-BK01 into a depot exerts a multiple-quenching effect on the photosensitivity to effectively prevent nonspecific phototoxicity and protect it from photobleaching outside the tumor, while enabling autonomous tumor rephotosensitization by long sustained release, tumor accumulation, and intratumoral activation over time. We demonstrate that depot formation through a single peritumoral injection and subsequent quintuple laser irradiations at intervals resulted in complete eradication of the tumor. During the repeated PDT, depot-implanted normal tissues around the tumor exhibited no phototoxic damage under laser exposure. Our approach of single-component photosensitizing supramolecular depot, combined with a strategy of tumor-targeted therapeutic activation, would be a safer and more precise operation of PDT through a nonconventional protocol composed of one-time photosensitizer injection and multiple laser irradiations.

Abstract
The endogenous tumor microenvironment (TME) can signally influence the therapeutic effects of cancer, so it is necessary to explore effective synergistic therapeutic strategies based on changing of the TME. Here, a catalytic cascade nanoplatform based on manganese (Mn)-etched dendritic mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (designated as DMMnSiO3 NPs) loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) and natural glucose oxidase (GOD) is established (designated as DIG nanocomposites). As the Mn-O bonds in DMMnSiO3 NPs are susceptive to mildly acidic and reducing environments, the DIG nanocomposites can be rapidly decomposed because of the biodegradation of DMMnSiO3 NPs once internalized into the tumor by the consumption of glutathione (GSH) in TME to weaken the antioxidant capability of the tumors. The released Mn2+ could catalyze endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate oxygen (O2) to relieve the hypoxia in TME. The generation of O2 may promote the catalyzed oxidation of glucose by GOD, which will cut off nutrient supplies, accompanied by the regeneration of H2O2. The regenerated H2O2 could be sequentially catalyzed by Mn2+ to compensate for the consumed O2, and thus, the catalytic cascade process between Mn2+ and GOD was set up. As a result, a synergistic therapeutic strategy based on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of Mn2+, starvation therapy by O2-compensation enhanced catalyzing glucose, dual-model (GSH consumption and O2 compensation) enhanced photodynamic therapy, and effective photothermal therapy of ICG (η = 23.8%) under 808 nm laser irradiation has been successfully established.

Abstract
The use of luminescence in biological systems allows us to diagnose diseases and understand cellular processes. Persistent luminescent materials have emerged as an attractive system for application in luminescence imaging of biological systems; the afterglow emission grants background-free luminescence imaging, there is no need for continuous excitation to avoid tissue and cell damage due to the continuous light exposure, and they also circumvent the depth penetration issue caused by excitation in the UV-Vis. This review aims to provide a background in luminescence imaging of biological systems, persistent luminescence, and synthetic methods for obtaining persistent luminescent materials, and discuss selected examples of recent literature on the applications of persistent luminescent materials in luminescence imaging of biological systems and photodynamic therapy. Finally, the challenges and future directions, pointing to the development of compounds capable of executing multiple functions and light in regions where tissues and cells have low absorption, will be discussed.

Abstract
Hypoxia in tumor cells is regarded as the most crucial cause of clinical drug resistance and radio-resistance; thus, relieving hypoxia of tumor cells is the key to enhancing the efficacy of anticancer therapy. As a gas signal molecule of vasodilatation factors, nitric oxide (NO) can relieve the hypoxia status of tumor cells, thereby, enhancing the sensitivity of tumor cells to radiotherapy. However, considering complications of vascular activity, the level of NO required for radiotherapy sensitization cannot be obtained in vivo. In view of this, we design and fabricate a multifunctional bismuth-based nanotheranostic agent, which is functionalized with S-nitrosothiol and termed Bi-SNO NPs. X-rays break down the S-N bond and simultaneously trigger large amount of NO-releasing (over 60 μM). Moreover, the as-prepared Bi-SNO NPs not only possess the capability of absorbing and converting 808 nm NIR photons into heat for photothermal therapy, but also have the ability to increase X-ray absorption and CT imaging sensitivity. In addition, the collaborative radio-, photothermal-, and gas-therapy of Bi-SNO in vivo was further investigated and remarkable synergistic tumor inhibition was realized. Finally, no obvious toxicity of Bi-SNO NPs was observed in the treated mice within 14 days. Therefore, the Bi-SNO developed in this work is an effective nano-agent for cancer theranostics with well-controlled morphology and uniform size (36 nm), which could serve as a versatile CT imaging-guided combined radio-, photothermal- and gas-therapy nanocomposite with negligible side effects.

Abstract
Nanostructured manganese dioxide (MnO2) has attracted extensive attention in the field of anticancer applications. As we all know, the tumor microenvironment is usually characterized by a high glutathione (GSH) concentration, overproduced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), acidity, and hypoxia, which affect the efficacy of many traditional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Fortunately, as one kind of redox-active nanomaterial, nanostructured MnO2 has many excellent properties such as strong oxidation ability, excellent catalytic activity, and good biodegradability. It can be used effectively in diagnosis and treatment when it reacts with some harmful substances in the tumor site. It can not only enhance the therapeutic effect but also adjust the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, it is necessary to present the recent achievements and progression of nanostructured MnO2 for anticancer applications, including preparation methods, diagnosis, and treatment. Special attention was paid to photodynamic therapy (PDT), bioimaging and cancer diagnosis (BCD), and drug delivery systems (DDS). This review is expected to provide helpful guidance on further research of nanostructured MnO2 for anticancer applications.

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
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising strategy in cancer treatment that utilizes photosensitizers (PSs) to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and eliminate cancer cells under specific wavelength light irradiation. However, special tumor environments, such as those with overexpression of glutathione (GSH), which will consume PDT-mediated ROS, as well as hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME) could lead to ineffective treatment. Moreover, PDT is highly light-dependent and therefore can be hindered in deep tumor cells where light cannot easily penetrate. To solve these problems, we designed oxygen-dual-generating nanosystems MnO2@Chitosan-CyI (MCC) for enhanced phototherapy. Methods: The TME-sensitive nanosystems MCC were easily prepared through the self-assembly of iodinated indocyanine green (ICG) derivative CyI and chitosan, after which the MnO2 nanoparticles were formed as a shell by electrostatic interaction and Mn-N coordinate bonding. Results: When subjected to NIR irradiation, MCC offered enhanced ROS production and heat generation. Furthermore, once endocytosed, MnO2 could not only decrease the level of GSH but also serve as a highly efficient in situ oxygen generator. Meanwhile, heat generation-induced temperature increase accelerated in vivo blood flow, which effectively relieved the environmental tumor hypoxia. Furthermore, enhanced PDT triggered an acute immune response, leading to NIR-guided, synergistic PDT/photothermal/immunotherapy capable of eliminating tumors and reducing tumor metastasis. Conclusion: The proposed novel nanosystems represent an important advance in altering TME for improved clinical PDT efficacy, as well as their potential as effective theranostic agents in cancer treatment.

Self-accelerating H 2O 2-responsive Plasmonic Nanovesicles for Synergistic Chemo/starving therapy of Tumors. Am J Cancer Res 2020; 10:8691-8704.

Abstract
Rationale: Nanoscale vehicles responsive to abnormal variation in tumor environment are promising for use in targeted delivery of therapeutic drugs specifically to tumor sites. Herein, we report the design and fabrication of self-accelerating H2O2-responsive plasmonic gold nanovesicles (GVs) encapsulated with tirapazamine (TPZ) and glucose oxidase (GOx) for synergistic chemo/starving therapy of cancers. Methods: Gold nanoparticles were modified with H2O2-responsive amphiphilic block copolymer PEG45-b-PABE330 by ligand exchange. The TPZ and GOx loaded GVs (TG-GVs) were prepared through the self-assembly of PEG45-b-PABE330 -grafted nanoparticles together with TPZ and GOx by solvent displacement method. Results: In response to H2O2 in tumor, the TG-GVs dissociate to release the payloads that are, otherwise, retained inside the vesicles for days without noticeable leakage. The released GOx enzymes catalyze the oxidation of glucose by oxygen in the tumor tissue to enhance the degree of hypoxia that subsequently triggers the reduction of hypoxia-activated pro-drug TPZ into highly toxic free radicals. The H2O2 generated in the GOx-catalyzed reaction also accelerate the dissociation of vesicles and hence the release rate of the cargoes in tumors. The drug-loaded GVs exhibit superior tumor inhibition efficacy in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice owing to the synergistic effect of chemo/starvation therapy, in addition to their use as contrast agents for computed tomography imaging of tumors. Conclusion: This nanoplatform may find application in managing tumors deeply trapped in viscera or other important tissues that are not compatible with external stimulus (e.g. light).

Abstract
Recently, Mn(II)-based T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) have been explored widely for cancer diagnosis. However, the "always-on" properties and poor excretability of the conventional Mn(II)-based CAs leads to high background signals and unsatisfactory clearance from the body. Here, we report an "in situ three-dimensional to two-dimensional (3D-to-2D) transformation" method to prepare novel excretable 2D manganese-based layered silicates (Mn-LSNs) with extremely high signal-to-noise for tumor-specific MR imaging for the first time. Our observations combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that 3D metal (Mn, Fe, Co) oxide nanoparticles are initially formed from the molecular precursor solution and then in situ transform into 2D metal (Mn, Fe, Co)-based layered silicates triggered by the addition of tetraethyl orthosilicate, which provides a time-saving and versatile way to prepare novel 2D silicate nanomaterials. The unique ion-exchangeable capacity and high host layer charge density endow Mn-LSNs with an "ON/OFF" pH/GSH stimuli-activatable T1 relaxivity with superb high signal-to-noise (640-, 1200-fold for slightly acidic and reductive changes, respectively). Further in vivo MR imaging reveals that Mn-LSNs exhibit a continuously rapid T1-MRI signal enhancement in tumor tissue and no visible signal enhancement in normal tissue, indicating an excellent tumor-specific imaging. In addition, Mn-LSNs exhibit a rapid excretion from the mouse body in 24 h and invisible organ toxicity, which could help to solve the critical intractable degradation issue of conventional inorganic CAs. Moreover, the tumor microenvironment (pH/GSH/H2O2) specific degradability of Mn-LSNs could help to improve the penetration depth of particles into the tumor parenchyma. Developing this novel Mn-LSNs contrast agent, together with the already demonstrated capacity of layered silicates for drug and gene delivery, provides opportunities for future cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Due to the complicated environment and high tissue hydraulic pressure in tumors that easily pumps the nanomedicines back to the systemic circulation, the concentration of released photosensitizers (PSs) retained in a tumor by a traditional nano-delivery system is very low, causing an unsatisfactory photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect. Therefore, we prepared a pH/H2O2-responsive nano-system (ZnP-OC-M) through modified porphyrin PS units with a long-unsaturated oleoyl chloride chain, and by the further introduction of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups and MnO2 through a cis-addition reaction between the unsaturated double bonds of oleoyl chloride and dilute KMnO4 solution. Making use of the sensitivity of MnO2 to the H2O2 in the acid environment of tumor cells, ZnP-OC-M selectively realized responsive disintegration and O2 generation. More importantly, the rich amphiphilic PS units were shedded simultaneously and spontaneously completed the self-assembly into nanofibers in situ by helical stacking, which displayed a 1.85-fold higher retention effect of PSs in vivo compared with free PS groups and showed a great tumor inhibition effect in enhancing PDT. This nanosystem effectively solves the problem of the low retention abilities leading to a poor PS concentration in a tumor, prolonging the treatment time window efficiently after only a single administration and achieving the purpose of PDT enhancement.

Abstract
The therapeutic strategy that gives consideration to the combination of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy, has emerged as a potential development of effective anti-cancer medicine. Nevertheless, co-delivery of photosensitizers (PSs) and chemotherapeutic drugs in traditional carriers still remains great limitations due to low drug loadings and poor biocompatibility. Herein, we have utilized a computer-aided strategy to achieve a desired carrier-free self-delivery of pyropheophorbide a (PPa, a common PS) and podophyllotoxin (PPT, a classical chemotherapeutic drug) for synergistic cancer therapy. First, the computational simulation method identified the similar molecular sizes and rigid molecular structures between two drugs molecules. Based on the molecular docking, the intermolecular interactions were found to include π-π stackings, hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. Next, both drugs could co-assemble into nanoparticles (NPs) via one-step nanoprecipitation method. The various spectral experiments (UV, IR and FL) were conducted to evaluate the formation mechanism of spherical NPs. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo experiments systematically demonstrated that PPT/PPa NPs not only showed better cellular uptake efficiency, stronger cytotoxicity and higher accumulation in tumor sites, but also exhibited synergistic antitumor effect in female BALB/C bearing-4T1 tumor mice. Such a computer-aided design strategy of chem-photodynamic drugs self-delivery systems pave the way for efficient synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging cancer treatment combining light, oxygen, and a photosensitizer (PS) to produce highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species that cause cancer cell death. However, most PSs are hydrophobic molecules that have poor water solubility and cannot target tumor tissues, causing damage to normal tissues and cells during PDT. Thus, there is a substantial demand for the development of nanocarrier systems to achieve targeted delivery of PSs into tumor tissues and cells. This review summarizes the research progress in PS delivery systems for PDT treatment of tumors and focuses on the recent design and development of multifunctional nanoparticles as PS delivery carriers for enhanced PDT. These multifunctional nanoparticles possess unique properties, including tunable particle size, changeable shape, stimuli-responsive PS activation, controlled PS release, and hierarchical targeting capability. These properties can increase tumor accumulation, penetration, and cellular internalization of nanoparticles to achieve PS activation and/or release in cancer cells for enhanced PDT. Finally, recent developments in multifunctional nanoparticles for tumor-targeted PS delivery and their future prospects in PDT are discussed.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) has a widespread application in cancer therapy. Nevertheless, the efficiency of PDT is far from satisfactory. One major impediment is the overexpression of glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells, which could deplete the level of PDT-generated ROS. Herein, we develop a novel type of cytochrome P450 enzyme-mediated auto-enhanced photodynamic co-nanoassembly between clopidogrel (CPG) and photosensitizer pyropheophorbide a (PPa). Methods: In this work, we prepare the co-assembled nanoparticles of CPG and PPa (CPG/PPa NPs) by using one-step precipitation method. The assembly mechanism, drug release behavior, GSH consumption, ROS generation, cellular uptake, cytotoxicity of CPG/PPa NPs are investigated in vitro. The mice bearing 4T1 tumor are employed to evaluate in vivo biodistribution and anti-tumor effect of CPG/PPa NPs. Results: Such CPG/PPa NPs could disrupt the intracellular redox homeostasis, resulting from the elimination of GSH by CPG active metabolite mediated by cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP2C19). The in vivo assays reveal that CPG/PPa NPs not only increase the drug accumulation in tumor sites but also significantly suppress tumor growth in BALB/c mice bearing 4T1 tumor. With CPG-mediated GSH consumption and PPa-triggered ROS generation, CPG/PPa NPs show the enhanced PDT treatment effect by breaking intracellular redox balance. Conclusion: Our findings provide a valuable knowledge for the rational design of the PDT-based combinational cancer therapy.

Abstract
DNAzymes have been recognized as promising transducing agents for visualizing endogenous biomarkers, but their inefficient intracellular delivery and limited amplification capacity (including insufficient cofactor supply) preclude their extensive biological application. Herein, an autocatalytic DNAzyme (ACD) biocircuit is constructed for amplified microRNA imaging in vivo based on a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and DNAzyme biocatalysis, sustained by a honeycomb MnO2 nanosponge (hMNS). The hMNS not only delivers DNA probes, but also supplies Mn2+ as a DNAzyme cofactor and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agent. Through the subsequent cross-activation of HCR and DNAzyme amplicons, the ACD amplifies the limited signal resulting from miRNA recognition. The hMNS/ACD system was used to image microRNA in vivo, thus demonstrating its great promise in cancer diagnosis.

[PMID: 32016619 PMCID: PMC6997325 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-020-3252-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2019] [Accepted: 01/14/2020] [Indexed: 05/02/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we developed a multifunctional ultrasound (US) therapeutic agent that encapsulates perfluoropentane (PFP) into ferritin (FRT) and conjugates the tumor-targeting molecule folic acid (FA) (FA-FRT-PFP). The prepared FA-FRT-PFP had an average particle diameter of 42.8 ± 2.5 nm, a zeta potential of - 41.1 ± 1.7 mV and shows good stability in physiological solution and temperatures. FRT is a pH-sensitive cage protein that, at pH 5.0, disassembles to form pores that can load PFP. The adjustment to neutral pH closes the pores and encapsulates the PFP inside the FRT to form nanoparticles. At pH 5.0, 3 min of low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU, 2 W/cm2) significantly enhanced the US signal of FA-FRT-PFP through the acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) effect. Under identical conditions, 4 min of LIFU irradiation caused the bubbles generated by FA-FRT-PFP to break. FA-FRT-PFP could be efficiently targeted into ovarian cancer cells and significantly enhanced the US contrast of FA-FRT-PFP after 3 min of LIFU irradiation. After 4 min of LIFU irradiation, cell viability significantly decreased due to necrosis, likely due to the FA-FRT-PFP mediated release of PFP in the acidic environment of lysosomes after entering the tumor cells. PFP is then transformed into bubbles that burst under LIFU irradiation, forming physical shock waves that lead to the destruction of the cell structure and necrosis, achieving tumor treatment. Taken together, this demonstrates that FA-FRT-PFP is both a novel and promising US theranostics agent for future clinic application.

Photo-induced reactions for disassembling of coloaded photosensitizer and drug molecules from upconversion-mesoporous silica nanoparticles: An effective synergistic cancer therapy. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 110:110545. [PMID: 32204054 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2019.110545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2019] [Revised: 11/14/2019] [Accepted: 12/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an emerging noninvasive cancer treatment approach, which requires a photosensitizer (PS), light, and molecular oxygen. In this study, we have successfully fabricated a dual nature (pH- and reactive-oxygen-species-responsive) upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) to utilize coloaded doxorubicin (DOX) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) with high antitumor efficacy. The model anticancer drug (DOX) and PS (Ce6) were conjugated in a ratio of 1:1 (w:w), and then loaded on the surface of UCNPs@mesoporous silica (mSiO2) (85.63 ± 9.87 nm). Cellular uptake could be achieved by either increased permeability or ionic effect of UCNPs@mSiO2, where Ce6 controlled the DOX release under a near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation at 980 nm. A cytotoxicity analysis revealed that the dual-responsive UCNPs@mSiO2 could successfully deliver DOX and Ce6 at the tumor site, causing cell death with a high efficiency. This study shows that the modified UCNPs@mSiO2 is a promising system to realize NIR-light-triggered PS and drug delivery approach to improve synergistic therapies in vitro and in vivo, in the future.
