Abstract
Thirteen readily accessible azo D-π-A dyes, intended for use as photothermal agents, were synthesized using only a few steps. Absorption wavelengths were readily tuned by changing the building blocks, and 6 of these dyes exhibited NIR absorption that would be useful for biomedical applications. Unexpected suppression of an N-C single bond rotation that neighbors the azo bond was observed in the case of 5 dyes. Photothermal conversion efficiency measurements revealed a significant effect of the D moiety in these synthesized azo D-π-A dyes, but neither the π moiety nor the A moiety showed an obvious influence. The obtained results offer valuable information for the design of high-performance azo D-π-A dyes that have utility as photothermal agents.

Abstract
Recently, fullerene (C60) has been widely used as a nano photosensitizer (PS) for tumor related photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, current PDT based on C60 is severely restricted by the visible light source (shallow tissue penetrating depth) and oxygen dependent (tumor hypoxia). Therefore, taking advantages of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and "electronic sponge" property of C60, a C60 based hybrid nanostructured photosensitizer (C60@GNPs) with high light stability, near infrared light (NIR) excitation, and oxygen non-dependent properties was rational designed according to the mechanism of PDT. Compared with C60, after GNPs in-situ synthesis, the PDT mechanism of C60@GNPs changed from type II to type I, and the main product of PDT changed from singlet oxygen to hydroxyl radicals. Furthermore, C60@GNPs hybrid could efficiently generate hydroxyl radicals under NIR light excitation even in the hypoxia condition. These results suggest that C60@GNPs hybrid has a great potential for in vivo PDT applications.

Abstract
The exceptional electrical, thermal, optical and mechanical properties have made two dimensional sp2 hybridized graphene a material of choice in both academic as well as industrial research. In the last few years, researchers have devoted their efforts towards the development of graphene/polymer, graphene/metal nanoparticle and graphene/ceramic nanocomposites. These materials display excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal, catalytic, magnetic and optical properties which cannot be obtained separately from the individual components. Fascinating physical and chemical properties are displayed by noble metal nanomaterials and thus they represent model building blocks for modifying nanoscale structures for diverse applications extending from catalysis, optics to nanomedicine. Insertion of noble metal (Au, Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) into chemically derived graphene is thus of primary importance to open new avenues for both materials in various fields where the specific properties of each material act synergistically to provide hybrid materials with exceptional performances. This review attempts to summarize the different synthetic procedures for the preparation of Ag and Au NPs/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites. The synthesis processes of metal NPs/rGO composites are categorised into in-situ and ex-situ techniques. The in-situ approach consists of simultaneous reduction of metal salts and GO to obtain metal NPs/rGO nanocomposite materials, while in the ex-situ process, the metal NPs of desired size and shape are first synthesized and then transferred onto the GO or rGO matrix. The application of the Ag NPs and Au NPs/rGO composite materials in the area of biomedical (drug delivery and photothermal therapy) and biosensing are the focus of this review article.

Abstract
Novel multifunctional core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted widespread attention due to their easy-to-modify surface properties and abundant functional groups. This study introduces a facile approach to synthesize Ag@ iron oxide (Fe3O4) @C NPs, and modify with amino-poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)-carboxyl and folate (FA) on the exposed carbon surface to produce high contrast for excellent stability, good biocompatibility, cancer cell targeting, and synergistic treatment. The multi-armed PEG at the edge of Ag@Fe3O4@C NPs provides the materials an excellent capacity for doxorubicin (DOX) loading. The carbon layer could be used as a photothermal reagent due to its excellent near-infrared (NIR) absorbance capacity, and Fe3O4 was used as a reagent for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In vivo combination therapy with this agent was administered in a mouse tumor model, and a remarkable synergistic antitumor effect that is superior to that obtained by monotherapy was achieved. Concerning these features together, these unique multifunctional Ag@Fe3O4@C-PEG-FA/DOX NPs could be regarded as an attractive nanoplatforms for chemo-photothermal synergistic tumor therapy with dual-modal fluorescence and MR imaging-guided targeting.

Abstract
Nanoscale hydroxyapatite (HAp) is an optimal candidate material in biomedical area for its good biocompatibility and bioactivity. In this study, HAp nanorods are prepared via hydrothermal method and combined with monolayered graphene oxide (GO). The obtained HAp@GO with excellent biocompatibility is revealed to have high drug loading capacity (698.7 μg/mg) for anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and efficient photothermal conversion property. And the drug release property of DOX loaded HAp@GO (HAp@GO-DOX) is demonstrated to be controlled by pH and near-infrared light, which is favorable for cancer therapy. in vitro studies on cancer therapy demonstrate that the combined treatment, compared with either chemotherapy or photothermal therapy alone, has better synergistic therapeutic effect. These findings prove the great potential application of the nanocomposites for cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this work, a tumor-targeted and multi-stimuli responsive drug delivery system combining infrared thermal imaging of cells with thermo-chemotherapy was developed. Oxidized mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (MCNs-COOH) with high photothermal conversion ability (photothermal transduction efficiency η = 27.4%) in near-infrared (NIR) region were utilized to encapsulate doxorubicin (DOX). The outer surfaces of MCNs-COOH were capped with multifunctional carbon dots (CDHA) as simultaneous smart gatekeepers, a tumor targeting moiety and a fluorescent probe. NIR laser irradiation killed cancer cells through NIR-light induced hyperthermia, facilitated chemotherapeutic drug release and enhanced the sensitivity of tumor cells to drugs. The therapeutic efficacy in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cells demonstrated that MC-CDHA loading DOX (MC-CDHA/DOX) had good chemo-photothermal synergistic antitumor effects (combination index of CI = 0.448). The biodistribution and pharmacodynamics experiments of MC-CDHA/DOX in the 4T1 tumor model indicated that MCNs-COOH prolonged the residence time of DOX in tumor tissues and therefore actualized effective synergistic photothermal chemotherapy. By combining these excellent capabilities, the tumor-targeted and multi-stimuli responsive drug delivery system can be utilized as a visible nanoplatform for chemophotothermal synergistic therapy.

Abstract
It is highly desired that synthesis of photothermal agents with near-infrared (NIR) absorption, excellent photostability, and high photothermal conversion efficiency are essential for potential applications. In this work, three (D-A) conjugated polymers (PBABDF-BDTT, PBABDF-BT, and PBABDF-TVT) based on aza-heterocycle, bis(2-oxo-7-azaindolin-3-ylidene)benzodifurandione (BABDF) as the strong acceptor, and benzodithiophene-thiophene (BDTT), bithiophene (BT), and thiophene-vinylene-thiophene (TVT) as the donors, were designed and synthesized. The conjugated polymers showed significant absorption in the NIR region and a maximum absorption peak at 808 nm by adjusting the donor and acceptor units. Their photothermal properties were also investigated by using poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(hexyl ethylene phosphate) (mPEG-b-PHEP) to stabilize the conjugated polymers. Photoexcited conjugated polymer (PBABDF-TVT) nanoparticles underwent non-radiative decay when subjected to single-wavelength NIR light irradiation, leading to an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of 40.7%. This work indicated the aza-heterocycle BABDF can be a useful building block for constructing D-A conjugated polymer with high conversion efficiency.

Abstract
The combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy is acknowledged as one of the most promising approaches in cancer treatment. Targeted delivery and controlled drug release are two important factors for combined chemo-photothermal therapy. In this study, a multifunctional nanoplatform based on gold nanorod (GNR) decorated with folate-conjugated poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-γ-glutamylhydrazine) (FEGGH) containing disulfide linker and dihydroxyphenyl groups was developed for targeted combined chemo-photothermal therapy of breast cancer. FEGGH was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of γ-benzyl-l-glutamate-N-carboxyanhydride using folate/cystamine-heterobifunctionalized poly(ethylene glycol) as an initiator, following by hydrazinolysis and carbodiimide reactions. FEGGH was decorated onto GNR through Au-catechol bonds. Chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded onto the nanoplatform through pH-sensitive hydrazone linkage, obtaining final product FEGGHDOX-GNR. The DOX-loaded nanoplatform displayed excellent photostability and reduction/pH dual-responsive drug release behavior. Cytological studies demonstrated the effective internalization of FEGGHDOX-GNR into MCF-7 cells via folate-mediated endocytosis and additive therapeutic effect of combined photothermal-chemotherapy. These results indicate that our nanoplatform may be a promising strategy for targeted combined chemo-photothermal therapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
X-ray computed tomography is a strong tool that finds many applications both in medical applications and in the investigation of biological and nonbiological samples. In the clinics, X-ray tomography is widely used for diagnostic purposes whose three-dimensional imaging in high resolution helps physicians to obtain detailed image of investigated regions. Researchers in biological sciences and engineering use X-ray tomography because it is a nondestructive method to assess the structure of their samples. In both medical and biological applications, visualization of soft tissues and structures requires special treatment, in which special contrast agents are used. In this detailed report, molecule-based and nanoparticle-based contrast agents used in biological applications to enhance the image quality were compiled and reported. Special contrast agent applications and protocols to enhance the contrast for the biological applications and works to develop nanoparticle contrast agents to enhance the contrast for targeted drug delivery and general imaging applications were also assessed and listed.

Bi2Se3 nanofilm has exhibited many promising potentials application in the field of photo-to-heat conversion. A highly-efficient photo-to-heat conversion system of Ag/Bi2Se3 composite nanofilm is successfully fabricated through laser direct writing (LDW) technique. The localized heat induced by laser simultaneously achieve Ag particles synthesis, transfer and patterning in a single processing step. The thermal reaction process includes the forming of nanoparticles based on the process of the thermal reduction, laser ablation, sputtering deposition and so on. The thermal storage capability and photothermal conversion stability have been greatly improved through preventing the heat from loss and efficient LSPR enhancing. The photothermal conversion mechanism of composition film is discussed in detail. This work suggests that the laser-assisted transfer technique give rise to a new expectation of functional composite nanofilm application for energy conversion.

Abstract
Many graphene-based materials (GBNs) applied to therapy and diagnostics (theranostics) in cancer have been developed. Most of them are hybrid combinations of graphene with other components (e.g, drugs or other bioactives, polymers, and nanoparticles) aiming toward a synergic theranostic effect. However, the role of graphene in each of these hybrids is sometimes not clear enough and the synergic graphene effect is not proven. The objective of this review is to elaborate on the role of GBNs in the studies evaluated and to compare the nanoformulations in terms of some of their characteristics, such as therapeutic outcomes and toxicity, which are essential features for their potential use as bionanosystems. A systematic review was carried out using the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science (2013⁻2018). Additional studies were identified manually by consulting the references list of relevant reviews. Only English papers presenting at least one strategy for cancer therapy and one strategy for cancer diagnostics, and that clearly show the role of graphene in theranostics, were included. Data extraction and quality assessment was made by reviewer pairings. Fifty-five studies met the inclusion criteria, but they were too heterogeneous to combine in statistical meta-analysis. Critical analysis and discussion of the selected papers are presented.

Abstract
Integration of multiple diagnostic/therapeutic modalities into a single system with ultrasmall size, excellent photothermal/photodynamic properties, high cellular uptake efficiency, nuclear delivery capacity, rapid renal clearance, and good biosafety is highly desirable for cancer theranostics, but still remains challenging. Here, a novel type of multifunctional nanodots (denoted as BCCGH) was synthesized by mixing bovine serum albumin, carbon dots, and metal ions (Cu2+ and Gd3+), followed by the conjugation with a photosensitizer (HPPH). The nanodots hold great promise for fluorescence/photoacoustic/magnetic resonance/photothermal imaging-guided synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PDT) because of their appealing properties such as high photothermal conversion efficiency (68.4%), high longitudinal relaxivity (11.84 mM-1 s-1, 7 T), and superior colloidal stability with negligible Gd3+ release. Benefiting from the massive cellular uptake, endoplasmic reticulum/mitochondrion-targeting ability, and mild near-infrared laser irradiation-promoted nuclear delivery of BCCGH, a high anticancer therapeutic efficiency is achieved in the subsequent in vitro PDT. Besides, as revealed by the in vivo/ex vivo results, the nanodots also exhibit excellent tumor accumulation, efficient renal clearance, complete tumor ablation, and exceptional biosafety. To summarize, this work develops a carbon dot-mediated and albumin-based synthetic approach for constructing ultrasmall and multifunctional nanodots, which may hold great potential for cancer theranostics and beyond.

Abstract
Aminopeptidase N (CD13) is expressed on tumor vasculature and tumor cells. It represents a candidate for targeted therapy, e.g., by truncated tissue factor (tTF)-NGR, binding to CD13, and causing tumor vascular thrombosis. We analyzed CD13 expression by immunohistochemistry in 97 patients with STS who were treated by wide resection and uniform chemo-radio-chemotherapy. Using a semiquantitative score with four intensity levels, CD13 was expressed by tumor vasculature, or tumor cells, or both (composite value, intensity scores 1-3) in 93.9% of the STS. In 49.5% tumor cells, in 48.5% vascular/perivascular cells, and in 58.8%, composite value showed strong intensity score 3 staining. Leiomyosarcoma and synovial sarcoma showed low expression; fibrosarcoma and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma showed high expression. We found a significant prognostic impact of CD13, as high expression in tumor cells or vascular/perivascular cells correlated with better relapse-free survival and overall survival. CD13 retained prognostic significance in multivariable analyses. Systemic tTF-NGR resulted in significant growth reduction of CD13-positive human HT1080 sarcoma cell line xenografts. Our results recommend further investigation of tTF-NGR in STS patients. CD13 might be a suitable predictive biomarker for patient selection.

Abstract
Background: Multifunctional nanoplatforms with diagnostic-imaging and targeted therapeutic functionality (theranostics) are of great interest in the field of precision nanomedicine. The emerging sonodynamic therapy (SDT) combined with sonosensitizers under the guidance of photoacoustic (PA) imaging is highly expected to accurately eliminate cancer cells/tissue. Methods: Unique core/shell-structured theranostic FA-HMME-MNPs-PLGA nanoparticles (FHMP NPs, FA: folate, HMME: hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether, MNPs: melanin nanoparticles, PLGA: poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid) were constructed by the integration of MNPs (for PA imaging) in the core and HMME in the shell for enhanced PA imaging-guided SDT, which were further functionalized with a tumor-targeting ligand, FA. The PA imaging-guided SDT was systematically and successfully demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. The high biosafety of FHMP NPs was also systematically evaluated. Results: The synthesized FHMP NPs with a broad optical absorption not only possess high PA-imaging contrast enhancement capability but also exhibit significant SDT efficiency. Importantly, such a PLGA based nanoplatform improved light stability of HMME, enhancing sonodynamic performance and facilitated delivery of MNPs to the tumor region. Meanwhile, a combined effect between HMME and MNPs was discovered and verified. Furthermore, a sonosensitizer assisted by ultrasound irradiation engenders reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cytotoxicity toward tumor cells/tissue. Both in vitro cell-level and systematic in vivo xenograft evaluations on tumor-bearing mice demonstrated that the selective killing effect of ROS on tumor cells was assisted by FHMP NPs, which played an active role in the suppression of tumor growth with high biosafety. Conclusion: A theranostic nanoplatform was successfully constructed, achieving PA imaging-guided SDT against breast cancer cells/tissue. More importantly, MNPs and HMME in one platform with combined effect for enhancing PA imaging was demonstrated. This unique theranostic nanoplatform with multiple capabilities paves a new way toward personalized medicine by rational utilization.

Abstract
Sphingolipids such as ceramide have attracted much attention as possible anticancer agents due to their potent pro-apoptotic effects. However, due to their extreme hydrophobicity, there is currently no clinically approved delivery method for in vivo use as a therapeutic agent. To this end, we have developed a novel method for loading the short-chain C6 ceramide onto oxidized graphene nanoribbons (O-GNRs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Mass spectrometry revealed loading efficiencies of 57% and 51.5% for C6 ceramide onto O-GNRs and GNPs, respectively. The PrestoBlue viability assay revealed that 100 µg/mL of C6 ceramide-loaded O-GNRs and C6 ceramide-loaded GNPs reduced HeLa cell viability by approximately 93% and approximately 76%, respectively, compared to untreated HeLa cells, while equal concentrations of these nanoparticles without C6 ceramide did not significantly reduce HeLa cell viability. We confirmed that this cytotoxicity was apoptotic in nature via capase-3 activity and Hoechst staining. Using live-cell confocal imaging with the fluorescent NBD-ceramide loaded on O-GNRs, we observed robust uptake into HeLa cells within 30 min while NBD-ceramide on its own was uptaken much more rapidly. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that C6 ceramide-loaded O-GNRs were actually entering cells. Taken together, these data show that O-GNRs are a promising delivery agent for ceramide. To our knowledge, this study is the first to use such a loading method. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 107A: 25-37, 2019.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Here, a novel cruciform DNA nanostructure was developed for targeted delivery of doxorubicin (Dox), as an anticancer agent, to lung (A549 cells) and breast (4T1 cells) cancer cells. The cruciform DNA nanostructure consisted of AS1411 aptamer as targeting agent and Forkhead Box Protein M1(FOXM1) aptamer as therapeutic agent. METHODS MTT assay, fluorescence imaging, flow cytometry analysis, and in vivoantitumor efficacy were performed to evaluate the function of the Dox-DNA nanostructure complex. RESULTS The presented delivery system benefited from tumor targeting, high stability in serum and simple construction. The Dox-DNA nanostructure complex showed a noticeable higher internalization degree into A549 and 4T1 cells (target), overexpressing nucleolin on their cell membranes, compared to CHO cells (nontarget, nucleolin negative). Moreover, the results of MTT assay exhibited that Dox-DNA nanostructure complex significantly decreased cell viability in A549 and 4T1 cells compared to CHO cells, which significantly preserved their viability. Besides, Dox-DNA nanostructure complex significantly reduced tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice in comparison with Dox and DNA nanostructure treatments. CONCLUSION These findings confirmed that synergistic combination of FOXM1 aptamer and Dox into Dox-DNA nanostructure complex enhanced antitumor effectiveness and reduced toxicity toward nontarget cells, opening up new insights in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Purpose Polydopamine-coated branched Au–Ag nanoparticles (Au–Ag@PDA NPs) exhibit good structural stability, biocompatibility, and photothermal performance, along with potential anticancer efficacy. Here, we investigated the cytotoxicity of Au–Ag@PDA NPs against human bladder cancer cells (T24 cells) in vitro and in vivo, as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms of photothermal therapy-induced T24 cell death. Materials and methods T24 cells were treated with different doses of Au–Ag@PDA NPs followed by 808 nm laser irradiation, and the effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and autophagy were analyzed. To confirm the mechanisms of inhibition, real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were used to evaluate markers of cell cycle, apoptosis, autophagy, and the AKT/ERK signaling pathway. Moreover, we evaluated the effects of the treatment on mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS generation to confirm the underlying mechanisms of inhibition. Finally, we tested the T24 tumor inhibitory effects of Au–Ag@PDA NPs plus laser irradiation in vivo using a xenograft mouse model. Results Au–Ag@PDA NPs, with appropriate laser irradiation, dramatically inhibited the proliferation of T24 cells, altered the cell cycle distribution by increasing the proportion of cells in the S phase, induced cell apoptosis by activating the mitochondria-mediated intrinsic pathway, and triggered a robust autophagy response in T24 cells. Moreover, Au–Ag@PDA NPs decreased the expression of phosphorylated AKT and ERK and promoted the production of ROS that function upstream of apoptosis and autophagy. In addition, Au–Ag@PDA NP-mediated photothermolysis also significantly suppressed tumor growth in vivo. Conclusion This preclinical study can provide a mechanistic basis for Au–Ag@PDA NP-mediated photothermal therapy toward promotion of this method in the clinical treatment of bladder cancer.

Abstract
For the precision resection, development of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe based on specificity identification tumor-associated enzyme for lighting-up the tumor area, is urgent in the field of diagnosis and treatment. Overexpression of γ-glutamyltranspeptidase, one of the cell-membrane enzymes, known as a biomarker is concerned with the growth and progression of ovarian, liver, colon and breast cancer compared to normal tissue. In this work, a remarkable enzyme-activated NIR fluorescent probe NIR-SN-GGT was proposed and synthesized including two moieties: a NIR dicyanoisophorone core as signal reporter unit; γ-glutamyl group as the specificity identification site. In the presence of γ-GGT, probe NIR-SN-GGT was transformed into NIR-SN-NH2, the recovery of Intramolecular Charge Transfer (ICT), liberating the NIR fluorescence signal, which was firstly employed to distinguish tumor tissue and normal tissues via simple “spraying” manner, greatly promoting the possibility of precise excision. Furthermore, combined with magnetic resonance imaging by T2 weight mode, tumor transplanted BABL/c mice could be also lit up for first time by NIR fluorescence probe having a large stokes, which demonstrated that probe NIR-SN-GGT would be a useful tool for assisting surgeon to diagnose and remove tumor in clinical practice.

Abstract
Phototherapy with the properties of specific spatial/temporal selectivity and minimal invasiveness has been acknowledged as one of the most promising cancer therapy types. Among all the photoactive substance for phototherapy, titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) nanomaterials are paid more and more attention due to their outstanding photocatalytic properties, prominent biocompatibility, and excellent chemical stability. However, the wide bandgap (3.0-3.2 eV) of TiO2 limits its absorption only to the ultraviolet (UV) light region. For a long time, UV light-stimulated TiO2 was applied in the phototherapy researches of tumors located in the skin layer, while it is unsatisfactory for most deep-tissue tumors. Due to the maximum penetration into tissue existing in the near-infrared (NIR) region, how to use NIR light to trigger photochemical reaction of TiO2 remains a big challenge. In this review, two strategies to develop and construct NIR-triggered TiO2 -based nanocomposites (NCs) for phototherapy are summarized, and the relevant mechanism and background knowledge of TiO2 -based phototherapy are also given in order to better understand the application value and current situation of TiO2 in phototherapy. Finally, the challenges and research directions of TiO2 in the future clinic phototherapy application are also discussed.

Abstract
We have developed endogenous redox-responsive polymer conjugated GO-based hybrid nanomaterials (GO-PEGssFol-CPT) for delivery of anticancer drug camptothecin (CPT) to the cancer cells. The synthesized intermediate (PEGSSFol) and CPT loaded GO- PEGSSFol were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and 1H NMR. The morphological feature changes of TEM and AFM images have confirmed the loading of CPT on the nanocarrier and its release from the nanocarrier. The amount of CPT was loaded was found to be 14.2%. The extent of camptothecin (CPT) release from GO-BiotinPVA-CPT in the presence of different concentrations of glutathione (GSH) was monitored with the increase in the fluorescence intensity at λmax 438 nm and UV-Vis absorbance at 366 nm. The time-dependent camptothecin (CPT) release was monitored in the presence of GSH. It was noticed that CPT was completely released from GO-PEGssFol-CPT within 45 min. This release process is free from interference by other ubiquitous analytes in the living system. The constant fluorescence intensity of GO-PEGssFol-CPT against acidic pH indicated that CPT would not be released in the extracellular region of cancer cells. Therefore, such delivery system could be used to prevent unwanted cytotoxicity to the healthy cells. The GO-PEGssFol-CPT showed higher antiproliferative activity against cervical cancer cells compared to the CPT. Thus, GO-PEGssFol-CPT can be a new material to deliver the anticancer drug to the target tumor region.

Abstract
Graphene-based nanomaterials contain unique physicochemical properties and have been widely investigated due to a variety of applications particularly in cancer therapy. Furthermore, Ag has been known for its extensive historical background for biomedical applications. Therefore, conjugation of shape-selective Ag nanostructures with graphene may provide new horizons for pharmaceutical applications such as cancer treatments. Here we report on the synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (NPs)/reduced graphene oxide (AgNPs/RGO) conjugate nanomaterials containing various shapes of AgNPs by a novel and simple synthesis route using the deformation of dimethylformamide (DMF) as the reducing and coupling agent. The cytotoxicity and anticancer properties of AgNPs, AgNPs/RGO conjugate nanomaterials, RGO and graphene oxide (GO) were probed against MDA-MB-231 cancer and MCF-10A normal human breast cells in vitro. The AgNPs/RGO nanocomposites exhibited a strong anticancer effect by penetration and apoptosis in cancer cells as well as the lowest influence on the viability of normal cells. It was found that cancer cell viability not only depends on the geometry of Ag nanostructures but also on the interaction between AgNPs and RGO nanoplatelets. It is suggested that AgNPs/RGO conjugate nanomaterials with various shapes of AgNPs is a promising therapeutic platform for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Compared to traditional cancer treatments, drug/gene delivery is an advanced, safe, and efficient method. Nanoparticles are widely used as nanocarriers in a drug/gene delivery system due to their long circulation time and low multi-drug resistance. In particular, lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) that can emit UV and visible light by near-infrared (NIR) upconversion demonstrated more efficient and safer drug/gene delivery. Because of the low penetration depth of UV and visible light, a photoinduced reaction such as photocleavage or photoisomerization has proven restrictive. However, NIR light has high tissue penetration depth and stimulates the photoinduced reaction through UV and visible emissions from lanthanide-doped UCNPs. This review discusses the optical properties of UCNPs that are useful in bioapplications and drug/gene delivery systems using the UCNPs as a photoreaction inducer.

Abstract
Chemophototherapy is an advanced cancer therapeutic that uses photothermal nanocarriers (NCs) responsive to near-infrared (NIR) light. For the past decade, chemophototherapy has been investigated intensively for clinical translation, and continuous-flow production of biofunctional compounds (NCs, drugs, probes, nanocomposites) has received increasing attention for future therapeutics. However, in situ supply of a stimuli-responsive inorganic core and subsequent tight drug loading on the core are challenging tasks in the practical use of on-demand nanomedicines. Thus, in this study, we designed and evaluated both in vitro and in vivo models of an aero-hydro-aero single-pass production system for chemophotothermally active NCs. We prepare tightly-drug-loadable cores (titanium peroxide [yTiO2] nanovesicles [NVs]) using hydrogen flame pyrolysis of vaporized TiCl4 (aero) and successive ultrasonic H2O2 treatment (hydro). The NVs formed were incorporated with graphene oxide (GO), doxorubicin (D), and polyethylene glycol (P) in a spray to form GO-yTiO2@DP NCs (aero). The NVs' tight DP loading and endothermic effect induced greater, sustained D release and tumor-selective distribution, even for hyperthermic activity. The results showed the route developed may be a stepping stone to scalable, reconfigurable production for on-demand chemophotothermal therapeutics.

Abstract
Various silver nanoparticle (AgNP)-decorated graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites (GO-Ag) have received increasing attention owing to their antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility; however, their aggregation in physiological solutions and the generally complex synthesis methods warrant improvement. This study aimed to synthesize a polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified and AgNP-decorated GO nanocomposite (GO-PEI-Ag) through a facile approach through microwave irradiation without any extra reductants and surfactants; its antimicrobial activity was investigated on Gram-negative/-positive bacteria (including drug-resistant bacteria) and fungi. Compared with GO-Ag, GO-PEI-Ag acquired excellent stability in physiological solutions and electropositivity, showing substantially higher antimicrobial efficacy. Moreover, GO-PEI-Ag exhibited particularly excellent long-term effects, presenting no obvious decline in antimicrobial activity after 1 week storage in physiological saline and repeated use for three times and the lasting inhibition of bacterial growth in nutrient-rich culture medium. In contrast, GO-Ag exhibited a >60% decline in antimicrobial activity after storage. Importantly, GO-PEI-Ag effectively eliminated adhered bacteria, thereby preventing biofilm formation. The primary antimicrobial mechanisms of GO-PEI-Ag were evidenced as physical damage to the pathogen structure, causing cytoplasmic leakage. Hence, stable GO-PEI-Ag with robust, long-term antimicrobial activity holds promise in combating public-health threats posed by drug-resistant bacteria and biofilms.

Abstract
Functional nanoparticles comprised of liquid metals, such as eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) and Galinstan, present exciting opportunities in the fields of flexible electronics, sensors, catalysts, and drug delivery systems. Methods used currently for producing liquid metal nanoparticles have significant disadvantages as they rely on both bulky and expensive high-power sonication probe systems, and also generally require the use of small molecules bearing thiol groups to stabilize the nanoparticles. Herein, an innovative microfluidics-enabled platform is described as an inexpensive, easily accessible method for the on-chip mass production of EGaIn nanoparticles with tunable size distributions in an aqueous medium. A novel nanoparticle-stabilization approach is reported using brushed polyethylene glycol chains with trithiocarbonate end-groups negating the requirements for thiol additives while imparting a "stealth" surface layer. Furthermore, a surface modification of the nanoparticles is demonstrated using galvanic replacement and conjugation with antibodies. It is envisioned that the demonstrated microfluidic technique can be used as an economic and versatile platform for the rapid production of liquid metal-based nanoparticles for a range of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a minimally invasive tumor treatment technology, and is regarded as a potential anticancer strategy because of its targeted destruction and low toxicity. Specifically, near-infrared light-induced PTT has attracted intriguing interest because of the high transparency of tissue, blood, and water. However, effective PTT generally requires the assistance of photothermal agents. Gold nanorods (GNRs) and conducting polymer are often used as photothermal materials because of their high absorption efficiency and photothermal conversion efficiency. Herein, we combined GNRs with poly( o-methoxyaniline) (POMA, a polyaniline derivative) to form GNRs/POMA core/shell hybrids through the surfactant-assisted chemical oxidative polymerization route and studied their photothermal conversion properties. The configuration of GNRs/POMA core/shell hybrids has been precisely controlled through adjusting the monomer concentration, and the relationship between morphology and absorption band of GNRs/POMA core/shell hybrids has been revealed. Finally, the in vitro and in vivo experiments were performed, and the results indicated that the GNRs/POMA core/shell hybrids with optimized absorbance at around 808 nm exhibited the best performance on photothermal therapy under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation.

Combinatorial effects of doxorubicin and retargeted tissue factor by intratumoral entrapment of doxorubicin and proapoptotic increase of tumor vascular infarction. Oncotarget 2018; 7:82458-82472. [PMID: 27738341 PMCID: PMC5347705 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.12559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2016] [Accepted: 10/04/2016] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Truncated tissue factor (tTF), retargeted to tumor vasculature by GNGRAHA peptide (tTF-NGR), and doxorubicin have therapeutic activity against a variety of tumors. We report on combination experiments of both drugs using different schedules. We have tested fluorescence- and HPLC-based intratumoral pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin, flow cytometry for cellular phosphatidylserine (PS) expression, and tumor xenograft studies for showing in vivo apoptosis, proliferation decrease, and tumor shrinkage upon combination therapy with doxorubicin and induced tumor vascular infarction. tTF-NGR given before doxorubicin inhibits the uptake of the drug into human fibrosarcoma xenografts in vivo. Reverse sequence does not influence the uptake of doxorubicin into tumor, but significantly inhibits the late wash-out phase, thus entrapping doxorubicin in tumor tissue by vascular occlusion. Incubation of endothelial and tumor cells with doxorubicin in vitro increases PS concentrations in the outer layer of the cell membrane as a sign of early apoptosis. Cells expressing increased PS concentrations show comparatively higher procoagulatory efficacy on the basis of equimolar tTF-NGR present in the Factor X assay. Experiments using human M21 melanoma and HT1080 fibrosarcoma xenografts in athymic nude mice indeed show a combinatorial tumor growth inhibition applying doxorubicin and tTF-NGR in sequence over single drug treatment. Combination of cytotoxic drugs such as doxorubicin with tTF-NGR-induced tumor vessel infarction can improve pharmacodynamics of the drugs by new mechanisms, entrapping a cytotoxic molecule inside tumor tissue and reciprocally improving procoagulatory activity of tTF-NGR in the tumor vasculature via apoptosis induction in tumor endothelial and tumor cells.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Near-infrared ray (NIR)-responsive 'smart' nanoagents allow spatial and temporal control over the drug delivery process, noninvasively, without affecting healthy tissues and therefore they possess high potential for on-demand, targeted drug/gene delivery. Various NIR-responsive drug/gene delivery techniques are under investigation for peripheral disorders (especially for cancer). Nonetheless, their potential not been extensively examined for brain biomedical application. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on NIR-responsive characteristics of different NIR-nanobiophotonics-based nanoagents and associated drug delivery strategies. Together with their ongoing applications for peripheral drug delivery, we have highlighted the opportunities, challenges and possible solutions of NIR-nanobiophotonics for potential brain drug delivery. EXPERT OPINION NIR-nanobiophotonics can be considered superior among all photo-controlled drug/gene delivery approaches. Future work should focus on coupling NIR with biocompatible nanocarriers to determine the physiological compatibility of this approach. Their applications should be extended beyond the peripheral body region to brain region. Transient or intermittent NIR exposure strategies may be more accommodating for brain physiological ambience in order to minimize or avoid the possible deleterious thermal effect. In addition, while most studies are centered around the first NIR spectral window (700-1000 nm), the potential of second (1100-1350 nm) and third (1600-1870 nm) windows must be explored.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacterial infection has been becoming a global threat toward people's health, especially the massive usage of antibiotics due to the lack of antibacterial agents with less side effects. Developing new nanoagents to fight pathogenic bacteria has provided enormous new possibilities in the treatment of bacterial infections, such as graphene-based two-dimensional (2D) antibacterial nanoagents with different bacterial inhibition capabilities; however, mussel-inspired design of near-infrared (NIR)-responsive and biocompatible Ag-graphene nanoagents possessing efficient and versatile bacterial disinfection activities have rarely been reported. In this study, we developed a new kind of antibacterial nanoagent, dopamine-conjugated polysaccharide sulfate-anchored and -protected Ag-graphene (Ag@G-sodium alginate sulfate ((SAS)) nanocomposite, to combat bacterial infection and contamination in different application fields. Ag@G-SAS exhibited robust antibacterial activity toward both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus; notably, the nanoagent can significantly inhibit S. aureus infection on wounded pig skin without or with NIR laser. Besides wound disinfection, the 2D Ag@G-SAS can also serve as a good layer-by-layer (LbL) building block for the construction of self-sterilizing coatings on biomedical devices. All of the results verified that the LbL-assembled Ag@G-SAS coating exhibited favorable bactericidal activity, extraordinary blood compatibilities, and good promotion ability for cell proliferation. Owing to the shielding effects of heparin-like polysaccharide sulfates, the Ag@G-SAS nanoagent showed limited cytotoxicity toward mammalian cells. Combining all of the advantages mentioned above, it is believed that the proposed Ag@G-SAS nanoagent and its LbL-assembled coatings may have versatile application potentials to avoid bacterial contaminations in different fields, such as wounded skin, disinfection of biomedical implants and devices, and food packaging sterilization.

Abstract
Mitochondria-mediated apoptosis (MMA) is a preferential option for cancer therapy due to the presence of cell-suicide factors in mitochondria, however, low permeability of mitochondria is a bottleneck for targeting drug delivery. In this paper, glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), a natural product from Glycyrrhiza glabra, is found to be a novel mitochondria targeting ligand, which can improve mitochondrial permeability and enhance the drug uptake of mitochondria. GA-functionalized graphene oxide (GO) is prepared and used as an effective carrier for targeted delivery of doxorubicin into mitochondria. The detailed in vitro and in vivo mechanism study shows that GA-functionalized GO causes a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and activates the MMA pathway. The GA-functionalized drug delivery system demonstrates highly improved apoptosis induction ability and anticancer efficacy compared to the non-GA-functionalized nanocarrier delivery system. The GA-functionalized nanocarrier also shows low toxicity, suggesting that it can be a useful tool for drug delivery.

Abstract
Considering the chemical exchange between gadolinium centers and water protons, nanosystems comprising gadolinium conjugated with high specific area nanocarriers might serve as more robust clinical tools for diagnosis and imaging-guided therapy. Herein, a pH-responsive nanosystem containing graphene oxide conjugated with a folic acid- and gadolinium-labeled dendrimer (FA-GCGLD) to boost its T1 contrast ability was developed, and doxorubicin (DOX) and colchicine (COLC) were efficiently loaded onto this nanosystem (FA-GCGLD-DOX/COLC). This nanosystem showed a prominent T1 contrast with an ultrahigh relaxivity of up to 11.6 mM-1 s-1 and pH-responsive drug release behavior. HepG2 cells treated with FA-GCGLD-DOX/COLC were efficiently inhibited, and the cell contrast was enhanced. In vivo, the tumor accumulation of FA-GCGLD-DOX/COLC significantly increased, thereby facilitating the systemic delivery of particles and exerting tumor growth inhibition and an enhanced tumor contrast effect. Moreover, compared to free drugs, FA-GCGLD-DOX/COLC effectively decreased the drug resistance of the tumor, thereby improving the cancer chemotherapeutic efficacy. In addition, injecting rats with FA-GCGLD afforded excellent magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images with high-resolution vascular structures because of the long blood circulation time of FA-GCGLD. Thus, this study provides a powerful tool for diverse applications in the biomedical field, including accurate diagnosis and chemotherapy of tumors and the detection of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Recently, stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) with high spatial/temporal resolution bring many benefits to cancer treatment. However, cancer cells always develop ways to resist and evade treatment, ultimately limit the treatment efficacy of the DDSs. Here, we introduce photo-activated nanoliposomes (PNLs) that impart light-induced cytotoxicity and reversal of drug resistance in synchrony with a photoinitiated and rapid release of antitumor drug. The PNLs consist of a nanoliposome doped with a photosensitizer (hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether [HMME]) in the lipid bilayer and an antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) encapsulated inside. PNLs have several distinctive capabilities: 1) carrying high loadings of DOX and HMME and releasing the payloads in a photo-cleavage manner with high spatial/temporal resolution at the site of actions via photocatalysis; 2) reducing drug efflux in MCF-7/multidrug resistance cells via decreasing the level of P-glycoprotein induced by photodynamic therapy (PDT); 3) accumulating in tumor site taking advantage of the enhanced permeability and retention effect; and 4) combining effective chemotherapy and PDT to exert much enhanced anticancer effect and achieving significant tumor regression in a drug-resistant tumor model with little side effects.
