Abstract
Deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) is regarded as a promising gene therapy drug. However, poor cellular uptake efficacy and low biological stability limit the utilization of DNAzyme in gene therapy. Here, we report a well-known programmable DNAzyme-based nanotweezer (DZNT) that provides a new strategy for the detection of TK1 mRNA and survivin mRNA-targeted gene silencing therapy. At the end of the DZNT arm, there are two functionalized single-stranded DNA and each consists of two parts: the segment complementary to TK1 mRNA and the split-DNAzyme segment. The hybridization with intracellular TK1 mRNA enables the imaging of TK1 mRNA. Meanwhile, the hybridization draws the split-DNAzyme close to each other and activates DNAzyme to cleave the survivin mRNA to realize gene silencing therapy. The results demonstrate that the DZNT nanocarrier has excellent cell penetration, good biocompatibility, and noncytotoxicity. DZNT can image intracellular biomolecule TK1 mRNA with a high contrast. Furthermore, the split-DNAzyme can efficiently cleave the survivin mRNA with the aid of TK1 mRNA commonly present in cancer cells, accordingly can selectively kill cancer cells, and has no harm to normal cells. Taken together, the multifunctional programmable DZNT provides a promising platform for the early diagnosis of tumors and gene therapy.

Abstract
Due to powerful breakthroughs in nanotechnology, smart delivery mechanisms have rapidly emerged for use in diverse applications across biomedical research and therapeutic development. Recent efforts toward understanding stimuli-responsive strategies have led to substantial improvements in their conceptual application and in vitro efficiency. Because disease targets for therapy are often localized in specific cells, organs, or tissues, an enhanced permeability and retention (EPR)-based strategy remains inadequate for accurate drug delivery and release to target regions, resulting in an insufficient drug concentration reaching the target region and undesired side effects. To address these issues, more precise and remote-controlled stimuli-responsive systems, which recognize and react to changes in the pathophysiological microenvironment, were recently elucidated as feasible on-demand drug-delivery systems. In this Perspective, we focus on progress toward stimuli-responsive drug-delivery systems that utilize dynamic DNA molecules by exploiting DNA nanotechnology. DNA structures can be precisely reconfigured by external and internal stimuli to drive the release of a loaded drug in a target region with appropriate microenvironments. We describe the chemical, physical, and biological engineering principles and strategies for constructing DNA-assisted nanocarriers. We also provide a summary of smart nanocarrier systems, organized with respect to the structural changes in the DNA strand in the microenvironment, resulting from changes in pH and temperature and the presence of intracellular oligonucleotides. To do so, we highlight recent advances in related biomedical research and applications as well as discuss major challenges and opportunities for DNA-assisted nanocarriers to guide the development of future in vivo therapies and clinical translation strategies.

Abstract
Activating upconversion nanoparticle-based photoresponsive nanovectors (UCPNVs) by upconversion visible light at low-power near-infrared (NIR) excitation can realize deeper biotissue stimulation with a minimized overheating effect and photodamage. Here, we demonstrate a facile strategy to construct new surface-decorated UCPNVs based on Passerini three-component reaction (P-3CR) in highly convenient and effective manners. Such UCPNVs materials have a tailored deprotecting wavelength that overlaps upconversion blue light. By using 3-perylenecarboxaldehyde, Tm3+/Yb3+ ion-doped UCNP-containing isocyanides, and antitumor agent chlorambucil as the three components, the resulting monodisperse UCPNV exhibits an efficient release of caged chlorambucil under a very low 976 nm power. This approach expands the synthetic toolbox to enable quick development of UCPNVs for UCNP-assisted low-power NIR photochemistry.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. However, the clinical diagnosis and treatment modalities are still relatively limited, which urgently require the development of new effective technologies. Recently, nanotechnology has gained extensive attention in HCC surveillance, imaging and pathological diagnosis, and therapeutic strategies. Typically, nanomedicines have been focused on early HCC diagnosis and precise treatment of advanced HCC, which has developed and improved a variety of new technologies and agents for future clinical practice. Furthermore, strategies of facilitating drug release and delivery in current treatment processes such as ablation, systematic therapy, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, molecular targeted therapy, and immune-modulating therapy have also been studied widely. This review summarizes the recent advances in this area according to current clinical HCC guidelines: 1) Nanoparticle-based HCC surveillance; 2) Nanotechnology for HCC diagnosis; 3) Therapeutic advances for HCC Management; 4) Limitations of applications in nanotechnology for HCC; 5) Conclusions and perspectives. Although there are still many limitations and difficulties to overcome, the investigations of nanomedicines are believed to show potential applications in clinical practice.

Abstract
Light is a particularly appealing tool for on-demand drug delivery due to its noninvasive nature, ease of application and exquisite temporal and spatial control. Great progress has been achieved in the development of novel light-driven drug delivery strategies with both breadth and depth. Light-controlled drug delivery platforms can be generally categorized into three groups: photochemical, photothermal, and photoisomerization-mediated therapies. Various advanced materials, such as metal nanoparticles, metal sulfides and oxides, metal-organic frameworks, carbon nanomaterials, upconversion nanoparticles, semiconductor nanoparticles, stimuli-responsive micelles, polymer- and liposome-based nanoparticles have been applied for light-stimulated drug delivery. In view of the increasing interest in on-demand targeted drug delivery, we review the development of light-responsive systems with a focus on recent advances, key limitations, and future directions.

Abstract
Owing to their unique features, the past decade has witnessed rapid developments of lanthanide-activated nanoparticles for biological applications. These include highly tunable upconverting and downshifting photoluminescence when illuminated in deep tissue, excellent photostability against blinking and bleaching effects, biocompatibility through versatile surface modification, and ease of achieving multifunctionality, as well as satisfactory signal output. These attributes make lanthanide-doped nanoparticles an ideal toolbox for advanced bioimaging and next-generation therapeutics.The interest in lanthanide-doped nanoparticles for biomedical research arises from their unique optical properties in response to deep-tissue-penetrable light sources. Upon near-infrared irradiation, these nanoparticles with properly doped emitters display photon upconversion with large anti-Stokes shifts and broad-spectrum tunability from the ultraviolet to the visible. It is also possible to achieve orthogonal photoluminescence with variations in wavelength and lifetime. Coupled with surface ligands, dyes, biomolecules, or other types of functional nanomaterials, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles offer new opportunities for applications in bioimaging, advanced oncotherapy, and neuromodulation. Given the possibility of locating downshifting luminescence at "biological transmission windows", exquisite design of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles also enables deep-tissue imaging with high spatial resolution. In addition, these nanoparticles can respond to high-energy photons, such as X-rays, to trigger nonradioactive and radiative pathways, making it possible to develop high-sensitivity X-ray detectors. Precise control of paramagnetic lanthanide ions in nanocrystal lattices also provides advanced materials for high-performance magnetic resonance imaging in medical diagnostics and biomedical research. Full consideration of fundamental attributes of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles will facilitate the design of multifunctional and sensitive probes and improve diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes.In this Account, we categorize various lanthanide-activation strategies into three modes: near-infrared excitation, X-ray irradiation, and magnetic field stimulation. We introduce energy manipulations in upconverting, downshifting, and persistence luminescence in spectral and time domains and discuss how they can be applied in biological practices. We assess general design principles for lanthanide-activated nanosystems with multiple modalities of bioimaging, oncotherapy, and neuromodulation. We also review the current state-of-the-art in the field of lanthanide-based theranostic nanoplatforms, with particular emphasis on energy conversion and nano-/biointerfacing as well as emerging bioapplications. In this context, we also highlight recent advances in controlling optical properties of nanoplatforms for single- or multimodal bioimaging, stimulus-responsive phototherapy, and optogenetics. Finally, we discuss future opportunities and challenges of this exciting research field.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a hot topic in precise medicine, but the low abundance of responsive trigger molecules in early-stage disease limits application. Here we designed an amplifier with multiple upconversion luminances to achieve a near-infrared photo-switched cascade reaction triggered by specific microRNA and precise PDT of early-stage cancers. This amplifier was composed of photo-caged DNA nanocombs and an upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) sensitized with IRDye 800CW. The nanocomb was prepared by assembling a photozipper-protected hairpin and two kinds of hybridizable hairpin probes on a DNA skeleton. Upon 808-nm light irradiation, the produced UV light cleaved off the photozipper to induce microRNA-responsive cascade hybridization reaction, activating the photosensitizers linked to different hairpins to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under the simultaneously emitted blue light for efficient PDT.

[PMID: 32887466 PMCID: PMC7504550 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21176380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Revised: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Stimulus-responsive drug delivery systems generally aim to release the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in response to specific conditions and have recently been explored for disease treatments. These approaches can also be extended to molecular imaging to report on disease diagnosis and management. The stimuli used for activation are based on differences between the environment of the diseased or targeted sites, and normal tissues. Endogenous stimuli include pH, redox reactions, enzymatic activity, temperature and others. Exogenous site-specific stimuli include the use of magnetic fields, light, ultrasound and others. These endogenous or exogenous stimuli lead to structural changes or cleavage of the cargo carrier, leading to release of the API. A wide variety of stimulus-responsive systems have been developed-responsive to both a single stimulus or multiple stimuli-and represent a theranostic tool for disease treatment. In this review, stimuli commonly used in the development of theranostic nanoplatforms are enumerated. An emphasis on chemical structure and property relationships is provided, aiming to focus on insights for the design of stimulus-responsive delivery systems. Several examples of theranostic applications of these stimulus-responsive nanomedicines are discussed.

Abstract
Drug delivery systems (DDSs) based on nanomaterials have shown a promise for cancer chemotherapy; however, it remains a great challenge to localize on-demand release of anticancer drugs in tumor tissues to improve therapeutic effects and minimize the side effects. In this regard, photoresponsive DDSs that employ light as an external stimulus can offer a precise spatiotemporal control of drug release at desired sites of interest. Most photoresponsive DDSs are only responsive to ultraviolet-visible light that shows phototoxicity and/or shallow tissue penetration depth, and thereby their applications are greatly restricted. To address these issues, near-infrared (NIR) photoresponsive DDSs have been developed. In this review, the development of NIR photoresponsive DDSs in last several years for cancer photo-chemotherapy are summarized. They can achieve on-demand release of drugs into tumors of living animals through photothermal, photodynamic, and photoconversion mechanisms, affording obviously amplified therapeutic effects in synergy with phototherapy. Finally, the existing challenges and further perspectives on the development of NIR photoresponsive DDSs and their clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
Therapeutic systems with site-specific pharmaceutical activation hold great promise to enhance therapeutic efficacy while reducing systemic toxicity in cancer therapy. With operational flexibility, noninvasiveness, and high spatiotemporal resolution, photoactivatable nanomedicines have drawn growing attention. Distinct from traditional controlled release systems relying on the difference of biomarker concentrations between disease and healthy tissues, photoactivatable nanomedicines capitalize on the interaction between nanotransducers and light to either trigger photochemical reactions or generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) or heat effect to remotely induce pharmaceutical actions in living subjects. Herein, the recent advances in the development of photoactivatable protherapeutic nanoagents for oncology are summarized. The design strategies and therapeutic applications of these nanoagents are described. Representative examples of each type are discussed in terms of structure, photoactivation mechanism, and preclinical models. Last, potential challenges and perspectives to further develop photoactivatable protherapeutic nanoagents in cancer nanomedicine are discussed.

Abstract
Nanomaterials-based prodrug activation systems have been widely explored in cancer therapy, aiming at overcoming limited dosage formulation, systemic toxicity, and insufficient pharmacokinetic performance of parent drugs. For better delivery control, various stimuli systems, especially nanomaterials-based ones, have come to the forefront. Among them, near-infrared (NIR) light takes advantage of on-demand/site-specific regulation and non-invasiveness. In this review, we will address the developments of nanomaterials-based prodrug over the last decade, the activation mechanisms, and bioapplications under NIR light triggering. The advantages and limitations of NIR-triggered prodrug activation strategies and the perspectives of the next-generation prodrug nanomedicine will also be summarized. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.
