Development of theranostic dual-layered Au-liposome for effective tumor targeting and photothermal therapy. J Nanobiotechnology 2021; 19:262. [PMID: 34481489 PMCID: PMC8418714 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-021-01010-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an emerging anti-cancer therapeutic strategy that generates hyperthermia to ablate cancer cells under laser irradiation. Gold (Au) coated liposome (AL) was reported as an effective PTT agent with good biocompatibility and excretory property. However, exposed Au components on liposomes can cause instability in vivo and difficulty in further functionalization. RESULTS Herein, we developed a theranostic dual-layered nanomaterial by adding liposomal layer to AL (LAL), followed by attaching polyethylene glycol (PEG) and radiolabeling. Functionalization with PEG improves the in vivo stability of LAL, and radioisotope labeling enables in vivo imaging of LAL. Functionalized LAL is stable in physiological conditions, and 64Cu labeled LAL (64Cu-LAL) shows a sufficient blood circulation property and an effective tumor targeting ability of 16.4%ID g-1 from in vivo positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Also, intravenously injected LAL shows higher tumor targeting, temperature elevation in vivo, and better PTT effect in orthotopic breast cancer mouse model compared to AL. The tumor growth inhibition rate of LAL was 3.9-fold higher than AL. CONCLUSION Based on these high stability, in vivo imaging ability, and tumor targeting efficiency, LAL could be a promising theranostic PTT agent.

Abstract
Broadband near-infrared (NIR) photothermal and photoacoustic agents covering from the first NIR (NIR-I) to the second NIR (NIR-II) biowindow are of great significance for imaging and therapy of cancers. In this work, ultrathin two-dimensional plasmonic PtAg nanosheets are discovered with strong broadband light absorption from NIR-I to NIR-II biowindow, which exhibit outstanding photothermal and photoacoustic effects under both 785 and 1064 nm lasers. Photothermal conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of PtAg nanosheets reach 19.2% under 785 nm laser and 45.7% under 1064 nm laser. The PCE under 1064 nm laser is higher than those of most reported inorganic NIR-II photothermal nanoagents. After functionalization with folic acid modified thiol-poly(ethylene glycol) (SH-PEG-FA), PtAg nanosheets endowed with good biocompatibility and 4T1 tumor-targeted function give high performances for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT) in vivo under both 785 and 1064 nm lasers. The effective ablation of tumors in mice can be realized without side effects and tumor metastasis by PAI-guided PTT of PtAg nanosheets under 785 or 1064 nm laser. The results demonstrate that the prepared PtAg nanosheets with ultrathin thickness and small size can serve as a promising phototheranostic nanoplatform for PAI-guided PTT of tumors in both NIR-I and NIR-II biowindows.

Abstract
Drug delivery systems have shown tremendous promise to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic effects of drugs due to their special property. Targeting tissue damage, tumors, or drugs with limited toxicity at the site of infection is the goal of successful pharmaceuticals. Targeted drug delivery has become significantly important in enhancing the pharmaceutical effects of drugs and reducing their side effects of therapeutics in the treatment of various disease conditions. Unfortunately, clinical translation of these targeted drug delivery system mechanisms faces many challenges. At present, only a few targeted drug delivery systems can achieve high targeting efficiency after intravenous injection, even though numerous surface markers and targeting approaches have been developed. Thus, cell-mediated drug-delivery targeting systems have received considerable attention for their enhanced therapeutic specificity and efficacy in the treatment of the disease. This review highlights the recent advances in the design of the different types of cells that have been explored for cell-mediated drug delivery and targeting mechanisms. A better understanding of cell biology orientation and a new generation of delivery strategies that utilize these endogenous approaches are expected to provide better solutions for specific site delivery and further facilitate clinical translation.

Abstract
Multifunctional gold nanorods (GNR) have drawn growing interest in biomedical fields because of their excellent biocompatibility, ease of alteration, and special optical properties. The great advantage of using GNR in medicine is their application to Photothermal therapy (PPTT), which is possible thanks to their ability to turn luminous energy into heat to cause cellular hyperthermia. For this purpose, the relevant articles between 1988 and 2020 were searched in databases such as John Wiley, Free paper, Scopus, Science Direct, and Springer to obtain the latest findings on multifunctional gold nanorods for therapeutic applications and pharmaceutical delivery. In this article, we review recent progress in diagnostic and therapeutic applications of multifunctional GNR, highlighting new information about their toxicity to various cellular categories, oxidative stress, cellular longevity, and their metabolic effects, such as the effect on the energy cycles and genetic structures. The methods for the synthesis and functionalization of GNR were surveyed. This review includes new information about GNR toxicity to various cellular categories and their metabolic effects.

Abstract
Macrophages (MΦs) have the capability to sense chemotactic cues and to home tumors, therefore presenting a great approach to engineer these cells to deliver therapeutic agents to treat diseases. However, current cell-based drug delivery systems usually use commercial cell lines that may elicit an immune response when injected into a host animal. Furthermore, premature off-target drug release also remains an enormous challenge. Here, we isolated and differentiated MΦs from the spleens of BALB/c mice and developed dual-targeting MΦ-based microrobots, regulated by chemotaxis and an external magnetic field, and had a precise spatiotemporal controlled drug release at the tumor sites in response to the NIR laser irradiation. These microrobots were prepared by coloading citric acid (CA)-coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and doxorubicin (DOX)-containing thermosensitive nanoliposomes (TSLPs) into the MΦs. CA-MNPs promoted a magnetic targeting function to the microrobots and also permitted photothermal heating in response to the NIR irradiation, triggering drug release from TSLPs. In vitro experiments showed that the microrobots effectively infiltrated tumors in 3D breast cancer tumor spheroids, particularly in the presence of the magnetic field, and effectively induced tumor cell death, further enhanced by the NIR laser irradiation. In vivo experiments confirmed that the application of the magnetic field and NIR laser could markedly inhibit the growth of tumors with a subtherapeutic dose of DOX and a single injection of the microrobots. In summary, the study proposes a strategy for the effective anticancer treatment using the developed microrobots.

Abstract
Cancer treatment has become one of the biggest challenges in modern medicine. Recently, many efforts have been devoted to treat tumors by surgical resection, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. In comparison to these methods, photo-thermal therapy (PTT) with noninvasive, controllable, direct, and precise characteristics has received tremendous attention in eliminating tumor cells over the past decades. In particular, PTT based on biomacromolecule-based photo-thermal agents (PTAs) outperforms other systems with high photo-thermal efficiency, simple coating, and low immunogenicity. Considering the unique advantages of biomacromolecule-based PTAs in tumor treatment, it is necessary to summarize the recent progress in the field of biomacromolecule-based PTAs for tumor treatment. Herein, this minireview outlines recent progress in the fabrication and applications of biomacromolecule-based PTAs. Within this framework, various types of biomacromolecule-based PTAs are highlighted, including cell-based agents, protein-based agents, nucleotide-based agents, and polysaccharide-based PTAs. In each section, the functional design, photo-thermal effects, and potential clinical applications of each type of PTA are discussed. Finally, a brief perspective for the development of biomacromolecule-based PTAs is presented.

Abstract
Rationale: Development of nanosystems that can be integrated with macrophages (MAs), an emerging carrier system, for effective tumor therapy remains to be challenging. We report here the development of MAs specifically loaded with hyaluronic acid (HA) nanogels (NGs) encapsulated with a photothermal agent of polypyrrole (PPy) and anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) (HA/DOX@PPy NGs) for tumor homing and combination photothermo-chemotherapy. Methods: Cystamine dihydrochloride-crosslinked HA NGs were first prepared through a double emulsification method, then loaded with PPy via an in-situ oxidization polymerization and physically encapsulated with DOX. The created HA/DOX@PPy NGs were well characterized and subjected to be endocytosed by MAs (MAs-NGs). The MAs-mediated tumor-homing property, phenotype changes and photothermal performance of MAs-NGs were investigated in vitro, and a subcutaneous tumor model was also established to confirm their targeting capability and enhanced antitumor therapy effect in vivo. Results: The generated hybrid NGs possess a size around 77 nm and good colloidal stability, and can be specifically endocytosed by MAs without appreciably affecting their normal biofunctionalities. In particular, NG-loaded MAs display excellent in-vitro cancer cell and in-vivo tumor homing property. Systemic administration of the MAs-NGs leads to the significant inhibition of a subcutaneous tumor model through combination photothermo-chemotherapy under laser irradiation. Conclusions: The developed hybrid HA-based NG nanosystem incorporated with PPy and DOX fully integrates the coordination and heating property of PPy to regulate the optimized DOX release in the tumor region with the assistance of MA-mediated tumor homing, providing a promising cell therapy strategy for enhanced antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Because of their photothermal properties, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have gained attention regarding their use in drug delivery and therapeutic applications. In this sense, it is interesting to consider their interactions with biologically available proteins, such as serum albumin, as well as the effects of irradiation and photothermal conversion on the protein structure that can lead to a loss of function or generate an immune response. Gold nanoprisms (AuNPrs) have gained interest due to their low toxicity, ease of synthesis, and excellent stability, promoting their use in bioapplications such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), drug delivery, and photothermal therapy. The interaction between AuNPrs, with plasmon bands centred in the near-infrared region (NIR), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) has not been explored yet. UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to study the interaction between AuNPrs and BSA in addition to estimation of the adsorption rate and kinetic and thermodynamic parameters (K, ΔH°, ΔG°, ΔS°, and Ea) using adsorption isotherms and Langmuir and Freundlich models. The results suggest spontaneous cooperative binding in multilayer adsorption, achieved by the chemisorption of BSA on the AuNPr surface through the S-Au interaction, as confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. On the other hand, the photothermal conversion efficiency (PE) of the coated nanoparticles after NIR irradiation was assessed, resulting in a slight decrease in the PE of BSA coated on AuNPrs in comparison with that of noncapped nanoparticles. The effect of the irradiation on the protein conformation of capped nanoparticles was also assessed; circular dichroism showed BSA unfolding upon interaction with AuNPrs, with a decrease in the α-helix and β-sheet contents, as well as an increase in random coil conformations. Changes in the Raman spectrum suggest a modification of the disposition of the protein residues exposed to the gold surface after NIR irradiation; but at the secondary structure level, no relevant changes were observed. This provides possibilities for the use of NPs-BSA for bioapplications based on the photothermal effect promoted by laser irradiation, since the biological identity of the protein is preserved after NIR irradiation.

Abstract
Over the past decades, considerable attention has been dedicated to the exploitation of diverse immune cells as therapeutic and/or diagnostic cell-based microrobots for hard-to-treat disorders. To date, a plethora of therapeutics based on alive immune cells, surface-engineered immune cells, immunocytes' cell membranes, leukocyte-derived extracellular vesicles or exosomes, and artificial immune cells have been investigated and a few have been introduced into the market. These systems take advantage of the unique characteristics and functions of immune cells, including their presence in circulating blood and various tissues, complex crosstalk properties, high affinity to different self and foreign markers, unique potential of their on-demand navigation and activity, production of a variety of chemokines/cytokines, as well as being cytotoxic in particular conditions. Here, the latest progress in the development of engineered therapeutics and diagnostics inspired by immune cells to ameliorate cancer, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular complications, and infectious diseases is reviewed, and finally, the perspective for their clinical application is delineated.

Abstract
Human immune system acts as a pivotal role in the tissue homeostasis and disease progression. Immunomodulatory biomaterials that can manipulate innate immunity and adaptive immunity hold great promise for a broad range of prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. This review is focused on the design strategies and principles of immunomodulatory biomaterials from the standpoint of materials science to regulate macrophage fate, such as activation, polarization, adhesion, migration, proliferation, and secretion. It offers a comprehensive survey and discussion on the tunability of material designs regarding physical, chemical, biological, and dynamic cues for modulating macrophage immune response. The range of such tailorable cues encompasses surface properties, surface topography, materials mechanics, materials composition, and materials dynamics. The representative immunoengineering applications selected herein demonstrate how macrophage-immunomodulating biomaterials are being exploited for cancer immunotherapy, infection immunotherapy, tissue regeneration, inflammation resolution, and vaccination. A perspective on the future research directions of immunoregulatory biomaterials is also provided.

Abstract
It is of great significance to develop anticancer therapeutic agents or technologies with high degree of specificity and patient compliance, while low toxicity. The emerging photothermal therapy (PTT) has become a new and powerful therapeutic technology due to its noninvasiveness, high specificity, low side effects to normal tissues and strong anticancer efficacy. Noble metal nanomaterials possess strong surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect and synthetic tunability, which make them facile and effective PTT agents with superior optical and photothermal characteristics, such as high absorption cross-section, incomparable optical-thermal conversion efficiency in the near infrared (NIR) region, as well as the potential of bioimaging. By incorporating with various functional reagents such as antibodies, peptides, biocompatible polymers, chemo-drug and immune factors, noble metal nanomaterials have presented strong potential in multifunctional cancer therapy. Herein, the recent development regarding the application of noble metal nanomaterials for NIR-triggered PTT in cancer treatment is summarized. A variety of studies with good therapeutic effects against cancer from impressive photothermal efficacy of noble metal nanomaterials are concluded. Intelligent nanoplatforms through ingenious fabrication showing potential of multifunctional PTT, combined with chemo-therapy, immunotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), as well as simultaneous imaging modality are also demonstrated.

Abstract
Lung failure is the main reason for mortality in COVID-19 patients, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To date, no drug has been clinically approved for treatment of COVID-19. Nanotechnology has a great potential in contributing significantly to the fight against COVID-19 by developing effective therapies that can selectively eradicate the respiratory virus load. We propose a novel COVID-19 management approach that is efficient in eliminating the virus load from the airways and protecting the lungs from the fatal effects of the virus. This approach relies on targeting the virus using ACE-2-functionalized gold nanorods (AuNRs) followed by irradiation with near-infrared (NIR) light for the selective eradication of SARS-CoV-2 without off-target effects, i.e., targeted plasmonic photothermal therapy. Using discrete dipole approximation (DDA), we quantitatively determined the efficiency of AuNRs (31 nm × 8 nm) in absorbing NIR when present at different orientations relative to one another on the surface of the virus. The safety and the local administration of AuNRs using a well-tolerated flexible bronchoscopy technique, commonly used for hospitalized COVID-19 patients, ensure feasibility and clinical translation. While requiring further research, we anticipate this approach to result in a first-line treatment for hospitalized COVID-19 patients that are experiencing severe respiratory conditions or belong to a high-risk population, e.g., seniors and diabetic patients.

Abstract
Noninvasive tumor therapy requires a new generation of bionanomaterials towards sensitive response to the unique tumor microenvironment to achieve accurate and effective treatment. Herein, we have developed a tumor therapy nanoplatform by immobilizing natural glucose oxidase (GOD) onto Cu-based layered double hydroxide (CuFe-LDH) nanosheets, which for the first time integrates acid-enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT), and pH-responsive and heat-facilitated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) simultaneously. As demonstrated by EXAFS and HRTEM, CuFe-LDH nanosheets possess a considerable number of defects caused by different acid conditions, resulting in a significantly acid-enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency (83.2% at pH 5.4 vs. 46.0% at pH 7.4). Moreover, GOD/CuFe-LDH nanosheets can convert a cascade of glucose into hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) under tumor acid conditions, which is validated by a high maximum velocity (V max = 2.00 × 10-7 M) and low Michaelis-Menten constant (K M = 12.01 mM). With the combination of PTT and CDT, the tumor tissue in vivo is almost eliminated with low-dose drug injection (1 mg kg-1). Therefore, this novel pH-responsive Cu-based nanoplatform holds great promise in tumor-specific CDT/PTT synergistic therapy.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) indicate potential in the development of cancer treatments as vehicles for thermal damage of cancer cells because of their photothermal heating capability. Herein, we aim to investigate the effect of GNPs geometry as photothermal transducers on cellular uptake and photothermal therapy (PTT) efficacy. For this aim, seven different shapes of anisotropic GNPs: stars, hollow, rods, cages, spheres, Fe-Au, and Si-Au core shells were synthesized and investigate the effect of shape on GNPs optical properties. The physic-chemical characterization of prepared GNPs was investigated by UV-vis, DLS-Zeta, and TEM analysis. The effect of GNPs geometry on cellular uptake was investigated by ICP-MS and flow cytometry method. The PTT potential of these GNPs was compared on MCF7 cells in vitro using MTT assay, cell cycle, and Annexin-V apoptosis assay. While all these GNPs could absorb and convert near-infrared light into heat, gold nanostars exhibited the lowest cytotoxicity, highest cellular uptake and highest heat generation compared to other structures. Following photothermal treatment, due to substantial heat production in MCF7 cells, the apoptosis induction rate was greatly increased for all anisotropic gold nanostructures (stars, hollow, rods, and cages) especially gold nanostars. Combined, we can conclude that GNPs geometry affects cellular uptake and heat generation amount as well as cell destruction by apoptosis pathway. The gold nanostar is promising candidates for photothermal destruction.

Abstract
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a heterogeneous disease that includes a variety of tumors originating in the hypopharynx, oropharynx, lip, oral cavity, nasopharynx, or larynx. HNC is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide and affects thousands of people in terms of incidence and mortality. Various factors can trigger the development of the disease such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and repetitive viral infections. HNC is currently treated by single or multimodality approaches, which are based on surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biotherapeutic antibodies. The latter approach will be the focus of this article. There are currently three approved antibodies against HNCs (cetuximab, nivolumab, and pembrolizumab), and 48 antibodies under development. The majority of these antibodies are of humanized (23 antibodies) or human (19 antibodies) origins, and subclass IgG1 represents a total of 32 antibodies. In addition, three antibody drug conjugates (ADCs: telisotuzumab-vedotin, indatuximab-ravtansine, and W0101) and two bispecific antibodies (GBR 1372 and ABL001) have been under development. Despite the remarkable success of antibodies in treating different tumors, success was limited in HNCs. This limitation is attributed to efficacy, resistance, and the appearance of various side effects. However, the efficacy of these antibodies could be enhanced through conjugation to gold nanoparticles (GNPs). These conjugates combine the high specificity of antibodies with unique spectral properties of GNPs to generate a treatment approach known as photothermal therapy. This approach can provide promising outcomes due to the ability of GNPs to convert light into heat, which can specifically destroy cancer cells and treat HNC in an effective manner.

Abstract
In recent years, photothermal therapy (PTT) particularly nanomaterial-based PTT is a promising therapeutic modality and technique for cancer tumor ablation. In addition to killing tumor cells directly through heat, PTT also can induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) to activate the whole-body anti-tumor immune response, including the redistribution and activation of immune effector cells, the expression and secretion of cytokines and the transformation of memory T lymphocytes. When used in combination with immunotherapy, the efficacy of nanomaterial-based PTT can be improved. This article summarized the mechanism of nanomaterial-based PTT against cancer and how nanomaterial-based PTT impacts the tumor microenvironment and induces an immune response. Moreover, we reviewed recent advances of nanomaterial-based photothermal immunotherapy and discussed challenges and future outlook.

Abstract
Cellular endocytosis and intracellular trafficking of nanoparticles induce dynamic rearrangements that profoundly modify the physical properties of nanoparticle and govern their biological outcomes when activated by external fields. The precise structure, organization, distribution, and density of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) confined within intracellular compartments such as lysosomes have not been studied comprehensively, hampering the derivation of predictive models of their therapeutic activity within the cells of interest. By using transmission electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering, we have determined that canonical spherical citrate-coated AuNPs in the 3-30 nm size range form fractal clusters in endolysosomes of macrophages, endothelial cells, and colon cancer cells. Statistical analysis revealed that the cluster size and endolysosome size are correlated but do not depend on the size of AuNPs unless larger preformed aggregates of AuNPs are internalized. Smaller AuNPs are confined in greater numbers in loose aggregates covering a higher fraction of the endolysosomes compared to the largest AuNPs. The fractal dimensions of intracellular clusters increased with the particle size, regardless of the cell type. We thus analyzed how these intracellular structure parameters of AuNPs affect their optical absorption and photothermal properties. We observed that a 2nd plasmon resonance band was shifted to the near-infrared region when the nanoparticle size and fractal dimensions of the intracellular cluster increased. This phenomenon of intracellular plasmon coupling is not directly correlated to the size of the intralysosomal cluster or the number of AuNPs per cluster but rather to the compacity of the cluster and the size of the individual AuNPs. The intracellular plasmon-coupling phenomenon translates to an efficient heating efficiency with the excitation of the three cell types at 808 nm, transforming the NIR-transparent canonical AuNPs with sizes below 30 nm into NIR-absorbing clusters in the tumor microenvironment. Harnessing the spontaneous clustering of spherical AuNPs by cells might be a more valuable strategy for theranostic purposes than deploying complex engineering to derive NIR-absorbent nanostructures out of their environment. Our paper sheds light on AuNP intracellular reorganization and proposes a general method to link their intracellular fates to their in situ physical properties exploited in medical applications.

Abstract
Cell therapy is a promising strategy for cancer therapy. However, its therapeutic efficiency remains limited due to the complex and immunosuppressive nature of tumor microenvironments. In this study, the "cell-chemotherapy" strategy was presented to enhance antitumor efficacy. M1-type macrophages, which are therapeutic immune cells with both of immunotherapeutic ability and targeting ability, carried sorafenib (SF)-loaded lipid nanoparticles (M1/SLNPs) were developed. M1-type macrophages were used both as therapeutic tool to provide immunotherapy and as delivery vessel to target deliver SF to tumor tissues for chemotherapy simultaneously. M1-type macrophages were obtained by polarizing macrophages using lipopolysaccharide, and M1/SLNPs were obtained by incubating M1-type macrophages with SLNP. Tumor accumulation of M1/SLNP was increased compared with SLNP (p < 0.01), which proved M1/SLNP could enhance tumor targeting of SF. An increased ratio of M1-type macrophages to M2-type macrophages, and the CD3+CD4+ T cells and CD3+CD8+ T cell quantities in tumor tissues after treatment with M1/SLNP indicated M1/SLNP could relieve the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments. The tumor volumes in the M1/SLNP group were significantly smaller than those in the SLNP group (p < 0.01), indicating M1/SLNP exhibited enhanced antitumor efficacy. Consequently, M1/SLNP showed great potential as a novel cell-chemotherapeutic strategy combining both cell therapy and targeting chemotherapy.

Abstract
Oral cancer is a common malignant life-threatening tumor. Despite some advances in traditional therapy, mortality and mobidity rates are high due to delayed diagnosis and ineffective treatment. Additionally, some patients inevitably suffer from various fatal adverse effects during the course of therapy. Therefore, it is imperative to develop novel methods to eradicate oral cancer cells with minimal adverse effects on normal cells. Nanotechnology is a promising and novel vehicle for the diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer with encouraging recent achievements. In this review, we present state-of-the-art nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems employed in the domain of oral cancer, especially for its enhanced diagnosis and therapy. We describe in detail the types of nanotechnology used in the management of oral cancer and summarize administration routes of nanodrugs. Finally, the potential and prospects of nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems as promising modalities of diagnosis and therapy of oral cancer are highlighted.

Abstract
Clinical extensive application of indocyanine green (ICG) is limited by several drawbacks such as poor bioenvironmental stability, aggregate propensity, and rapid elimination from the body, etc. In this study, we construct a novel amphiphilic mPEG-ACA-ICG conjugate by modifying synthetic heptamethine cyanine derivative ICG-COOH with a hydrophobic linker 6-aminocaproic acid (ACA) and amino-terminal poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG-NH2). The as-prepared mPEG-ACA-ICG conjugate has the ability to self-assemble into micellar aggregates in an aqueous solution with a lower CMC value than mPEG-ICG conjugate without ACA linker. More importantly, compared with free ICG and mPEG-ICG conjugate, mPEG-ACA-ICG nanomicelles exhibited better stability and higher photothermal conversion efficiency upon near-infrared light irradiation due to the intramolecular introduction of a hydrophobic ACA segment. In our in vivo experiment, mPEG-ACA-ICG nanomicelles ensured the formidable effect on tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) and the maximum tumor inhibition rate reached 72.6 %. In addition, real-time determination ability for fluorescence image-guided surgery (FIGS) of mPEG-ACA-ICG nanomicelles was also confirmed on tumor xenograft mice model. Taken together, mPEG-ACA-ICG conjugate may hold great promise for non-invasive cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Targeted light delivery into biological tissue is needed in applications such as optogenetic stimulation of the brain and in vivo functional or structural imaging of tissue. These applications require very compact, soft, and flexible implants that minimize damage to the tissue. Here, we demonstrate a novel implantable photonic platform based on a high-density, flexible array of ultracompact (30 μm × 5 μm), low-loss (3.2 dB/cm at λ = 680 nm, 4.1 dB/cm at λ = 633 nm, 4.9 dB/cm at λ = 532 nm, 6.1 dB/cm at λ = 450 nm) optical waveguides composed of biocompatible polymers Parylene C and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). This photonic platform features unique embedded input/output micromirrors that redirect light from the waveguides perpendicularly to the surface of the array for localized, patterned illumination in tissue. This architecture enables the design of a fully flexible, compact integrated photonic system for applications such as in vivo chronic optogenetic stimulation of brain activity.

Abstract
Developing an ideal photothermal agent is one of the challenges for effective photothermal therapy (PTT). Herein, a green and simple yet versatile method is developed to construct a novel poly-(iron-dopamine coordination complexes) nanoparticles (P[Fe-DA]-NPs) based on polymerization and coordination synergistically by using Fe3+ ions and dopamine (DA) in aqueous solution, and simultaneously poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) is applied to improve dispersion stability. P[Fe-DA]-NPs can be laden into macrophages directly with no further purification required to target tumor tissue to perform cell-mediated strategy. P[Fe-DA]-laden macrophages as an ideal photothermal agent has the advantages of good biocompatibility, simple preparation process, high photothermal performance, and effective tumor targeting. Furthermore, the P[Fe-DA]-laden macrophages possess excellent photoacoustic imaging (PAI) capacity for guiding the precise PTT. The results show that the tumors are significantly suppressed after PTT with the help of the accurate PAI diagnosis. This cell-mediated strategy may be the most promising avenue for the future clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Femtosecond (fs) laser pulsed excitation of plasmonic nanoparticle (NP)-biomolecule conjugates is a promising method to locally heat biological materials. Studies have demonstrated that fs pulses of light can modulate the activity of DNA or proteins when attached to plasmonic NPs; however, the precision over subsequent biological function remains largely undetermined. Specifically, the temperature the localized biomolecules "experience" remains unknown. We used 55 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) displaying double-stranded (ds) DNA to examine how, for dsDNA with different melting temperatures, the laser pulse energy fluence and bulk solution temperature affect the rate of local DNA denaturation. A universal "template" single-stranded DNA was attached to the AuNP surface, and three dye-labeled probe strands, distinct in length and melting temperature, were hybridized to it creating three individual dsDNA-AuNP bioconjugates. The dye-labeled probe strands were used to quantify the rate and amount of DNA release after a given number of light pulses, which was then correlated to the dsDNA denaturation temperature, resulting in a quantitative nanothermometer. The localized DNA denaturation rate could be modulated by more than threefold over the biologically relevant range of 8-53 °C by varying pulse energy fluence, DNA melting temperature, and surrounding bath temperature. With a modified dissociation equation tailored for this system, a "sensed" temperature parameter was extracted and compared to simulated AuNP temperature profiles. Determining actual biological responses in such systems can allow researchers to design precision nanoscale photothermal heating sources.

Abstract
Research on cancer theragnosis with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has rapidly increased, as AuNPs have many useful characteristics for various biomedical applications, such as biocompatibility, tunable optical properties, enhanced permeability and retention (EPR), localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), photothermal properties, and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). AuNPs have been widely utilized in cancer theragnosis, including phototherapy and photoimaging, owing to their enhanced solubility, stability, biofunctionality, cancer targetability, and biocompatibility. In this review, specific characteristics and recent modifications of AuNPs over the past decade are discussed, as well as their application in cancer theragnostics and future perspectives. In the future, AuNP-based cancer theragnosis is expected to facilitate the development of innovative and novel strategies for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The 2D layered structured material with unique surface terminations and properties have showed great potential in variety of biomedical research fields including drug delivery and cancer therapeutics which forms the major focus of this review. MXenes as a multifunctional two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, has also received momentous research interest in oncology resulting from its intriguing structure and fascinating properties of magnetism and photodynamic properties such as luminescent, conductivity, magnetism, non-toxicity and its bio compatibility. This reported review intends to cover exclusively the synthesis and utilization of MXenes in oncological applications, and subsequently its future outlook in cancer therapeutic, diagnostic and theranostics. The versatile and unique physio-chemistry of MXenes permits fine tuning of its properties towards oncological applications ranging from the cancer therapeutic (e.g., photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy) to cancer imaging (e.g., CT/MRI/PA imaging) as well as cancer theranostic applications. We have started the discussion by portraying the broad picture of physio-chemical aspects of MXenes followed by its drug delivery functionalities. Subsequently, ROS mediated therapeutic strategies of photodynamic therapy and radiotherapy as well as light triggered functionalities of MXenes were detailed comprehensively. In the middle of the gallery, various imaging and sensing aspects of MXenes were elucidated. Finally, we have concluded by explaining the combined therapy and diagnostic functions (theranostics) of MXenes. To put it in perspective, the current challenges and new opportunities in MXenes also discussed will give great realistic insights to motivate further research in realizing MXene as an intelligent oncological tool.

Abstract
Specific targeted drug delivery and controllable release of drugs at tumor regions are two of the main challenges for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy, particularly post metastasis. Herein, we present a platelet membrane-facilitated local chemo-photothermal therapy strategy, in which polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles act as photothermal agents and along with antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) are encapsulated into platelet membranes (PLT-PPy-DOX). The particles are endowed with immune evasiveness and tumor targeting abilities from platelet membranes, and are then intravenously injected into an orthotopic mouse model of HCC. As expected, the PLT-PPy-DOX nanoplatforms were abundant in the tumor tissues. Hyperthermia was generated under laser irradiation (808 nm) not only to ablate tumor cells directly but also to increase the triggered release of DOX. This combination of local chemotherapy and photothermal therapy demonstrated excellent antitumor efficiency in suppressing primary tumor growth and inhibiting tumor metastases. This localized therapy which adopts biocompatible natural cell membranes and good biodegradable organic photothermal agents may provide new insights into designing biomimetic nano-vehicles for personalized therapy of HCC.

Abstract
Chemo-photothermal synergistic treatment has a high potential to complement traditional cancer therapy and amplify its outcome. Precision in the delivery of these therapeutic agents to tumor cells has been indicated as being key to maximizing their therapeutic effects. Method: We developed a bio-orthogonal copper-free click-targeting nanocomposite system (DLQ/DZ) that markedly improved specific co-delivery of the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin and the photosensitizer zinc phthalocyanine to breast cancer cells via a two-step mechanism. In the first step, an azide-modified sugar (tetraacetylated N-azidoacetyl-D-mannosamine, Ac4ManNAz) was injected intratumorally for glycoengineering of the tumor cell surface. Subsequently, DLQ/DZ was administered to achieve tumor enrichment via bio-orthogonal copper-free click-targeting. Results: During the first step in our experiments, high density azide groups (3.23×107/cell) were successfully glycoengineered on the surface of tumor cells following Ac4ManNAz administration in vitro. Subsequently, the highly efficient bio-orthogonal click chemical reaction between receptor-like azide groups on tumor cells and DBCO on nanocomposites significantly enhanced the cellular uptake and tumor-specific distribution (4.6x increase) of the nanocomposites in vivo. Importantly, Ac4ManNAz+DLQ/DZ treatment augmented the anti-cancer effect of combined chemotherapy and PTT (96.1% inhibition rate), nearly ablating the tumor. Conclusions: This bio-orthogonal click-targeting combination strategy may provide a promising treatment approach for surficial breast cancers.

Abstract
Integration of diagnostic and therapeutic components into a single coordination polymer nanoparticle is desirable for theranostic applications, but still challenging. Herein, we report the synthesis of bimetal-phenolic coordination polymer nanoparticles using gadolinium nitrate and ferrous sulphate as a metal source, and plant polyphenols (i.e., tannic acid) as an organic ligand via a metal-catechol coordination assembly process. Such coordination polymers show a tunable molar ratio of Gd/Fe and high dispersibility and stability in aqueous solution. The coordination polymers reveal composition-dependent performance for longitudinal relaxivity and photothermal conversion. The longitudinal relaxivity is positively related to the molar ratio of Gd/Fe, while the photothermal performance is negatively related to the molar ratio of Gd/Fe in the coordination polymers. The coordination polymers with an optimized molar ratio of Gd/Fe exhibit an ultra-small hydrodynamic diameter (∼23 nm), a high r1 value (9.3 mM-1 s-1) with low r2/r1 (1.26) and high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 37%). They can be used as a contrast agent for T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of EMT-6 tumor bearing mice, which can effectively enhance the signals of tumors. They can also effectively suppress tumor growth via photothermal therapy. This work brings new insights for the synthesis of multifunctional coordination polymer nanoparticles and extending their potential applications in theranostics.

Abstract
An efficient theranostic nanoplatform responding to tumour microenvironments with characters of simple and flexible combinations owns great potential in cancer diagnosis and therapy. Herein, a series of triblock copolymers, mPEG-b-PDPA-b-P(nBMA-r-cystamine) (EPB), were synthesized and among them, the structure of EPB-3 was optimized for both fluorescence imaging-guided cancer diagnosis and multi-modal therapy with good biocompatibility. (1) The self-assembled nanoparticles of EPB-3-ICG1 obtained by conjugating one ICG on EPB-3 via S-S bonds effectively performed reduction-sensitive OFF/ON fluorescence signal transition, thus inducing tumour cell-specific amplified fluorescence imaging in vitro and in vivo. (2) By entrapping Au nanorods into the co-assembled NPs of EPB-3 and EPB-3-ICG1, EPB-3-ICG1@Au NPs could synchronously induce strong tumour fluorescence imaging and high local photothermal effect, indicating the potential of imagine-guided photothermal therapy. (3) EPB-3 NPs could efficiently co-load paclitaxel (PTX) and ICG to form stable EPB-3@PTX@ICG NPs, which provided long periods of intracellular pH-sensitive sustainable drug release and highly enhanced apoptosis of 4T1 cells in vitro by the chemo-photothermal effect. Excitingly, a single intravenous injection of EPB-3@PTX@ICG NPs followed by a one-time local near-infrared light (NIR, 808 nm) irradiation treatment for 10 min could lead to significant inhibition of tumour growth, avoiding tumor metastasis and extending the survival of mice. All the above-mentioned results suggest that EPB-3 provides a nanoplatform with the characters of simple structure, convenience of use and flexible combination, holding potential for multi-modal diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Although great efforts have been undertaken to develop a nanoparticle-based drug delivery system (DDS) for the treatment of solid tumors, the therapeutic outcomes are still limited. Immune cells, which possess an intrinsic ability to phagocytose nanoparticles and are recruited by tumors, can be exploited to deliver nanotherapeutics deep inside the tumors. Photothermal therapy using near-infrared light is a promising noninvasive approach for solid tumor ablation, especially when combined with chemotherapy. In this study, we design and evaluate a macrophage-based, multiple nanotherapeutics DDS, involving the phagocytosis by macrophages of both small-sized gold nanorods and anticancer drug-containing nanoliposomes. The aim is to treat solid tumors, utilizing the tumor-infiltrating properties of macrophages with synergistic photothermal-chemotherapy. Using a 3D cancer spheroid as an in vitro solid tumor model, we show that tumor penetration and coverage of the nanoparticles are both markedly enhanced when the macrophages are used. In addition, in vivo experiments involving both local and systemic administrations in breast tumor-bearing mice demonstrate that the proposed DDS can effectively target and kill the tumors, especially when the synergistic therapy is used. Consequently, this immune cell-based theranostic strategy may represent a potentially important advancement in the treatment of solid tumors.

Abstract
Nanoparticles with absorbances in the near-infrared window (NIR, 700-1300 nm) are ideal contrast agents for in vivo imaging of deep tissue with high signal-to-noise ratios. By using CTAB and l(+)-ascorbic acid (AA) as ligands to effectively balance particle nucleation and growth, PEGylated Au nanorods (NRs) with broad absorption bands (from 650 to 1100 nm) in the first NIR window could be successfully realized. The morphologies, crystal structures, absorption and biotoxicities of the samples were determined by TEM, TGA, UV-vis and MTT assay. The results indicated that the presence of a thin poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) shell could greatly improve the biocompatibility of the Au NRs (1.7 times that of non-PEGylated Au NRs), making them harmless to living cells. Moreover, the prepared PEGylated Au NRs displayed the highest image contrast and SNR values (1.1-1.5 times that of commercial Au nanospheres and NRs), with excitation lasers of 532, 680 and 828 nm, showing their great potential for use in multicolor photoacoustic imaging in vivo. With the prepared PEGylated Au NRs, a functional image of oxygen saturation was constructed in a single step without changing the contrast agent.

Abstract
Inorganic nanomaterials or nanoparticles (INPs) have drawn high attention for their usage in the biomedical field. In addition to the facile synthetic and modifiable property of INPs, INPs have various unique properties that originate from the components of the INPs, such as metal ions that are essential for the human body. Apart from their roles as components of the human body, inorganic materials have unique properties, such as magnetic, antibacterial, and piezoelectric, so that INPs have been widely used as either carriers or inducers. However, most of the bio-applicable INPs, especially those consisting of metal, can cause cytotoxicity. Therefore, INPs require modification to alleviate the harmful effect toward the cells by controlling the release of metal ions from INPs. Even though many attempts have been made to modify INPs, many things, including the side effects of INPs, still remain as obstacles in the bio-application, which need to be elucidated. In this chapter, we introduce novel INPs in terms of their synthetic method and bio-application in tissue engineering.

Abstract
γ-Ti3O5 is one kind of prominent non-stoichiometric metal oxide due to its intriguing ability in electric and electrochemical behaviors. This work reports another attractive property of γ-Ti3O5 hierarchical porous microspheres, the extremely effective photothermal property with a high photothermal conversion efficiency. Theory and experimental results indicate that γ-Ti3O5 hierarchical porous microspheres possess metallic features and display very strong localized surface plasma resonance effects over the visible and near-infrared region. Under simulated sunlight or near infrared light, the metallic γ-Ti3O5 exhibits a photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 65.29%. Under irradiation by a near-infrared laser with a wavelength of 808 nm, the γ-Ti3O5 hierarchical porous microspheres can significantly inhibit cancer cell viability in vitro and disrupt tumor tissue growth in vivo in a short period. In vitro and in vivo toxicity experiments demonstrate that it has good biocompatibility. The ultrahigh photothermal conversion efficiency and biocompatibility make the γ-Ti3O5 very attractive for technological uses in photothermal therapy, solar energy utilization, and infrared light detection and so on. Metallic γ-Ti3O5 hierarchical porous microspheres with strong localized surface plasmon resonance are reported, which can inhibit cancer cell viability in vitro and disrupt tumor tissue growth in vivo under the irradiation of near infrared light.![]()

Abstract
The inner region of solid tumors is found to be high-pressure, hypoxic, and immunosuppressive, providing a breeding ground for tumor aggressiveness and metastasis. While intratumoral accumulation of nanomedicines combined with immunomodulation would significantly enhance therapeutic efficacy, such potential is challenged by the compressed environment and distinct heterogeneity of the tumor bulk. By using an apoptotic body (AB) as the carrier, we develop an effective and universal intratumoral nanomedicine delivery system for the long-lasting remission of tumors. Our results show that the AB-encapsulated nanomedicine (using CpG immunoadjuvant-modified gold-silver nanorods as a model), after intravenous injection, can be specifically phagocytosed by inflammatory Ly-6C+ monocytes, which then actively infiltrate the tumor center via their natural tumor-homing tendency. With the integration of AB-facilitated intratumoral accumulation, the nanorod-based photothermal effect, and CpG-promoted immunostimulation, this cell-mediated delivery system can not only efficiently ablate primary tumors but also elicit a potent immunity to prevent tumors from metastasizing and recurring.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light has been widely applied in the field of photothermal therapy (PTT). Recent advances in the light wavelength for efficient cancer PTT have gradually shifted from the first NIR (NIR-I) biowindow (700-1000 nm) to the second NIR (NIR-II) biowindow (1000-1350 nm) owing to its intrinsic deeper tissue penetration ability and a higher maximum permissible exposure (MPE) value. Herein, we have prepared nickel sulphide (Ni9S8) nanoparticles (NPs) with a full-spectrum-absorption (400 nm-1100 nm) in the NIR region. By a fair comparison, it is found that the PTT using the NPs upon irradiation from an NIR-II (i.e., 1064 nm) laser is more efficient than that from an NIR-I (i.e., 808, 915, and 976 nm) laser. The large mass extinction coefficient value (22.18 L g-1 cm-1) and high photothermal conversion efficiency (46%) at 1064 nm make these NPs promising candidates for NIR-II photo-thermal therapy. This study will benefit future exploration and optimization of nickel-based photoabsorbers utilizing NIR-II light for photothermal applications.

Abstract
Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) is expected to become a powerful clinical tool, with its unique advantages of being label-free, high resolution, deep imaging depth, low light photobleaching and low phototoxicity. Nanomaterials, with excellent physical and chemical properties, are biocompatible and easy to prepare and functionalize. The addition of nanomaterials exactly compensates for some defects of MPM, such as the weak endogenous signal strength, limited imaging materials, insufficient imaging depth and lack of therapeutic effects. Therefore, combining MPM with nanomaterials is a promising biomedical imaging method. Here, we mainly review the principle of MPM and its application in liver cancer, especially in disease evolution and clinical applications, including monitoring tumor progression, diagnosing tumor occurrence, detecting tumor metastasis, and evaluating cancer therapy response. Then, we introduce the latest advances in the combination of MPM with nanomaterials, including the MPM imaging of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and carbon dots (CDs). Finally, we also propose the main challenges and future research directions of MPM technology in HCC.

Abstract
Heterojunction nanomaterials have revealed a significant possibility in tumor diagnosis and therapeutic owing to tightly combining two parts of different chemical properties. Herein, we successfully synthesized heterogenous Fe3O4-Ag2S nanocrystals through a reverse microemulsion. Based on the prepared heterostructure, a new drug nanoplatform was developed, which served as a contrast agent for T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography imaging, and photothermal imaging. In addition, these Fe3O4-Ag2S heteronanocrystals exhibited a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 75.5% irradiated by a laser of 808 nm wavelength. After injection into glioma cancer mode in vivo, efficient tumor accumulation of Fe3O4-Ag2S heteronanocrystals was observed under triple-modal imaging. The prepared heteronanocrystals further showed an excellent ablated tumor destruction effect through the generated hyperthermia with the irradiation of an 808 nm laser. Our work suggests that the potential of Fe3O4-Ag2S heteronanocrystals may be a promising theranostic agent for multimodal imaging guidance and photothermal therapy toward cancer.

Abstract
Therapeutic and diagnostic methods based on photomechanical effects are attracting much current attention in contexts as oncology, cardiology and vascular surgery, for such applications as photoacoustic imaging or microsurgery. Their underlying mechanism is the generation of ultrasound or cavitation from the interaction of short optical pulses with endogenous dyes or targeted contrast agents. Among the latter, gold nanorods are outstanding candidates, but their use has mainly been reported for photoacoustic imaging and photothermal treatments. Conversely, much less is still known about their value as a precision tool for photomechanical manipulations, such as to impart local damage with high spatial resolution through the expansion and collapse of microbubbles. Here, we address the feasibility of gold nanorods exhibiting a distribution of surface plasmon resonances between about 900 to above 1100 nm as a contrast agent for photoacoustic theranostics. After testing their cytotoxicity and cellular uptake, we discuss their photostability and use to mediate cavitation and the photomechanical destruction of targeted cells. We find that the choice of a plasmonic band peaking around 1064 nm is key to enhance the translational potential of this approach. With respect to the standard alternative of 800 nm, at 1064 nm, relevant regulations on optical exposure are less restrictive and the photonic technology is more mature.

Abstract
Collective oscillation of quasi-free electrons on the surface of metallic plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) in the ultraviolet to near-infrared (NIR) region induces a strong electromagnetic enhancement around the NPs, which leads to numerous important applications. These interesting far- and near-field optical characteristics of the plasmonic NPs can be typically obtained from numerical simulations for theoretical guidance of NP design. However, traditional numerical simulations encounter irreconcilable conflicts between the accuracy and speed due to the high demand of computing power. In this work, we utilized the machine learning method, specifically the deep neural network (DNN), to establish mapping between the far-field spectra/near-field distribution and dimensional parameters of three types of plasmonic NPs including nanospheres, nanorods, and dimers. After the training process, both the forward prediction of far-field optical properties and the inverse prediction of on-demand dimensional parameters of NPs can be accomplished accurately and efficiently with the DNN. More importantly, we have achieved for the first time ultrafast and accurate prediction of two-dimensional on-resonance electromagnetic enhancement distributions around NPs by greatly reducing the amount of electromagnetic data via screening and resampling methods. These near-field predictions can be realized typically in less than 10-2 seconds on a laptop, which is 6 orders faster than typical numerical simulations implemented on a server. Therefore, we demonstrate that the DNN is an ultrafast, highly efficient, and computing resource-saving tool to investigate the far- and near-field optical properties of plasmonic NPs, especially for a number of important nano-optical applications such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, photocatalysis, solar cells, and metamaterials.
