Abstract
Advanced studies demonstrated that hypoxic stress induced KIAA1199 expression leading to enhanced cell migration. KIAA1199 is a protein related with cancer metastasis. Hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) is a transcriptional factor that maintains oxygen homeostasis. Both KIAA1199 and HIF-1α were upregulated in many human cancers. In the present study, co-expression of KIAA1199 and HIF-1α was evaluated for the clinicopathological characteristics and survival in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Clinical-pathological information and follow-up data were collected from 152 HCC patients. KIAA1199 and HIF-1α expression were scored based on the percentage and intensity of immunohistochemical staining in pathological slide. Correlations between clinical features and the expression of KIAA1199 and HIF-1α were evaluated by Chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression analysis. The frequency of KIAA1199 high expression was higher in HCC than adjacent tissue. KIAA1199(H)/HIF-1α(H) tumors were more frequently of TNM (P = .011), tumor size (P = .021), vascular invasion (P = .002) and HBV (P = .001). In survival analysis, KIAA1199(H)/HIF-1α(H) patients had the worst prognosis. Using the combination of the two parameters increased the prognostic value (P < .01 vs P = .03). KIAA1199 in combination with HIF-1α expression tends to indicate a more accurate prognosis.

Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) face many major challenges, including systemic toxicity, low bioavailability, ineffective tissue penetration, chemotherapy/hyperthermia-induced inflammation, and tumor angiogenesis. A versatile nanomedicine offers an exciting opportunity to circumvent the abovementioned limitations for their successful translation into clinical practice. Here, a promising biophotonic nanoplatform is developed based on the zirconium carbide (ZrC) nanosheet as a deep PTT-photosensitizer and on-demand designed anticancer prodrug SN38-Nif, which is released and activated by photothermia and tumor-overexpressed esterase. In vitro and in vivo experimental evidence shows the potent anticancer effects of the integrated ZrC@prodrug biophotonic nanoplatform by specifically targeting malignant cells, chemotherapy/hyperthermia-induced tumor inflammation, and angiogenesis. In mouse models, the ZrC@prodrug system markedly inhibits tumor recurrence, metastasis, inflammation and angiogenesis. The findings unravel a promising biophotonic strategy for precision treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is extensively employed for cancer treatment owing to its unique advantages over conventional drugs and imaging agents. This increased attention to nanomedicine, however, has not fully translated into clinical utilization and patient benefits due to issues associated with reticuloendothelial system clearance, tumor heterogeneity, and complexity of the tumor microenvironment. To address these challenges, efforts are being made to modify the design of nanomedicines, including optimization of their physiochemical properties, active targeting, and response to stimuli, but these studies are often performed independently. Combining favorable nanomedicine designs from individual studies may improve therapeutic outcomes, but, this is difficult to achieve as the effects of different designs are interconnected and often conflicting. Glycol chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) are shown to accumulate in tumors, suggesting that this type of nanoparticle may constitute a good basis for the additional modification of nanoparticles. Here, multifunctional glycol CNPs designed to overcome multiple obstacles to their use are described and key factors influencing in vivo targeted delivery, targeting strategies, and interesting stimulus-responsive designs for improving cancer nanomedicine are discussed.

Abstract
As a powerful tool to advance drug discovery, molecular imaging may provide new insights into the process of drug effect and therapy at cellular and molecular levels. When compared with other detection methods, fluorescence-based strategies are highly attractive and can be used to illuminate pathways of drugs' transport, with multi-color capacity, high specificity and good sensitivity. The conjugates of fluorescent molecules and therapeutic agents create exciting avenues for real-time monitoring of drug delivery and distribution, both in vitro and in vivo. In this short review, we discuss recent developments of small molecule-based fluorophore-drug conjugates, including non-cleavable and cleavable ones, that are capable of visualizing drug delivery.

Abstract
RATIONALE Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are still awaiting innovative treatments that can maximize the efficiency of site-specific drug release in the colon while enhancing intestinal homeostasis. METHODS Herein, we present multilayer-coated mesoporous silica (MSs) which release payload drugs specifically in the colon tract in the presence of azoreductase produced by the gut microbiota, and simultaneously rejuvenate the tryptophan metabolism of the microbiome to induce activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) for increased anti-inflammatory effects. The MSs were prepared by using cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) as a supramolecular "handcuff" to assemble chitosan/hyaluronic acid multilayers on the periphery of a mesoporous silica core. RESULTS Strikingly, although MSs remained fairly stable in both acidic and neutral pH, they exhibited excellent responsiveness towards dithionite, an azo-reducing agent employed as a substitute to mimic the specific azoreductase environment in vitro. In comparison with the drug in its free form, hydrocortisone-loaded MSs showed optimized accumulation of therapeutics in the colonic mucosa with minimized premature release in the upper gastrointestinal tract in in vivo imaging and biodistribution studies. The enhanced therapeutic effects of MSs were confirmed in dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis in mice with promoted colonic epithelial barrier integrity, elevated level of AHR agonists and modulated production of inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, 16S rRNA analysis showed that the disrupted gut homeostasis of colitic mice was partly corrected by MSs. CONCLUSION This novel drug delivery system using self-assembly of tryptophan-functionalized chitosan, which was precomplexed with CB[8], and azobenzene-functionalized hyaluronic acid on the surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles provides a synergistic gut microbiota-targeting approach for IBD therapy.

Abstract
Cancer cells are vulnerable to reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to their abnormal redox environment. Accordingly, combination of chemotherapy and oxidative stress has gained increasing interest for the treatment of cancer. We report a novel seleno-prodrug of gemcitabine (Gem), Se-Gem, and evaluated its activation and biological effects in cancer cells. Se-Gem was prepared by introducing a 1,2-diselenolane (a five-membered cyclic diselenide) moiety into the parent drug Gem via a carbamate linker. Se-Gem is preferably activated by glutathione (GSH) and displays a remarkably higher potency than Gem (up to a 6-fold increase) to a panel of cancer cell lines. The activation of Se-Gem by GSH releases Gem and a seleno-intermediate nearly quantitatively. Unlike the most ignored side products in prodrug activation, the seleno-intermediate further catalyzes a conversion of GSH and oxygen to GSSG (oxidized GSH) and ROS via redox cycling reactions. Thus Se-Gem may be considered as a suicide agent to deplete GSH and works by a combination of chemotherapy and oxidative stress. This is the first case that employs a cyclic diselenide in prodrug design, and the success of Se-Gem as well as its well-defined action mechanism demonstrates that the 1,2-diselenolane moiety may serve as a general scaffold to advance constructing novel therapeutic molecules with improved potency via a combination of chemotherapy and oxidative stress.

Abstract
In this paper, we report a novel near-infrared (NIR) mitochondrion-targeted fluorescent probe, RQS, with an improved Stokes shift (96 nm) for the specific detection of mitochondrial mercury ion (Hg2+) because mitochondrion is one of the main targeted organelles of Hg2+. For the preparation of the probe, a novel asymmetrical fluorescent xanthene dye RQ was first synthesized by tuning the donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) character of the rhodamine skeleton, and then the probe RQS was constructed by the mechanism of mercury-promoted ring-opening reaction. As expected, RQS could be used for the specific detection of Hg2+ with high selectivity, high sensitivity, and a detection limit down to the nanomolar range (2 nM). Importantly, RQS is capable of specifically distributing in mitochondria, and thus detect Hg2+ in real-time and provided a potential tool for studying the cytotoxic mechanisms of Hg2+. A novel mitochondrion-targeting Hg2+ probe, RQS, with NIR emission (680 nm) and a large Stokes shift (96 nm) was developed by tuning the D–A–D character of the rhodamine skeleton.![]()

Abstract
Hypoxia is a key hallmark of solid tumors and tumor hypoxia usually contributes to cancer progression, therapeutic resistance and poor outcome. Accurately detecting and imaging tumor hypoxia with high spatial resolution would be conducive to formulating optimized treatment plan and thus achieving better patient outcome. Methods: Tumor hypoxia can cleave the azo linker and release a NIR fluorophore (NR-NH2) and release the active drug as well. NR-NH2 shows a strong absorption band at around 680 nm and a strong fluorescence band at 710 nm, allowing for both multispectral optoacoustic tomography imaging (MSOT) and fluorescent imaging of tumor hypoxia in a tumor-bearing mouse model. Results: Liposome encapsulated with the activatable chromophore (NR-azo) for detecting/imaging tumor hypoxia and for tumor inhibition was demonstrated. For this chromophore, a xanthene-based NIR fluorophore acts as the optoacoustic and fluorescent reporter, an azo linker serves as the hypoxia-responsive moiety and a nitrogen mustard as the therapeutic drug. NR-azo shows an absorption at around 575 nm but exhibits negligible fluorescence due to the existence of the strong electron-withdrawing azo linker. Conclusion: We demonstrated an optoacoustic and fluorescent system for not only imaging tumor hypoxia in vivo but also achieving tumor inhibition.

Abstract
Nitrogen mustards, a family of DNA alkylating agents, marked the start of cancer pharmacotherapy. While traditionally characterized by their dose-limiting toxic effects, nitrogen mustards have been the subject of intense research efforts, which have led to safer and more effective agents. Even though the alkylating prodrug mustards were first developed decades ago, active research on ways to improve their selectivity and cytotoxic efficacy is a currently active topic of research. This review addresses the historical development of the nitrogen mustards, outlining their mechanism of action, and discussing the improvements on their therapeutic profile made through rational structure modifications. A special emphasis is made on discussing the nitrogen mustard prodrug category, with Cyclophosphamide (CPA) serving as the main highlight. Selected insights on the latest developments on nitrogen mustards are then provided, limiting such information to agents that preserve the original nitrogen mustard mechanism as their primary mode of action. Additionally, future trends that might follow in the quest to optimize these invaluable chemotherapeutic medications are succinctly suggested.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanocarriers (MSNs) are appealing in terms of their large cavity surface area and high loading capacity, but they have been suffering from premature cargo release. Herein, we report a gated smart MSN that is sensitive to low oxygen concentration (i.e., hypoxia) via taking advantage of the superior electron-accepting ability of the azobenzene moiety. The azobenzene polymer was employed as the responsive gate-keeper that was deposited on the MSN surface, followed by coating with amphiphilic Pluronic F68 for steric stabilization. The obtained nanocarriers were less than 200 nm. The in vitro polymer degradation was spectrophotometrically witnessed via the employment of a reducing agent, namely, sodium dithionite, with a strong electron-donating ability. The hypoxia-responsive cargo release from the gated MSN was quantitatively demonstrated in breast cancer cells (MCF-7) using the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technique where coumarin 6 and rhodamine B was selected as the FRET donor and acceptor, respectively. The FRET ratio was used as the index and decreased linearly over time under hypoxia, whereas it almost remained steady under normoxia. In addition, a model photosensitizer, namely, chlorin e6, was also loaded in the gated MSN whose toxicity under hypoxia was verified. This study developed a hypoxia-responsive MSN with the azobenzene polymer as the removable gate-keeper, which would expand the application of MSNs in pharmaceutical and biomedical areas since the low oxygen concentration is a unique trigger in many pathological conditions.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a state of low oxygen tension found in numerous solid tumours. It is typically associated with abnormal vasculature, which results in a reduced supply of oxygen and nutrients, as well as impaired delivery of drugs. The hypoxic nature of tumours often leads to the development of localized heterogeneous environments characterized by variable oxygen concentrations, relatively low pH, and increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The hypoxic heterogeneity promotes tumour invasiveness, metastasis, angiogenesis, and an increase in multidrug-resistant proteins. These factors decrease the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs and can provide a barrier to advancing drug leads beyond the early stages of preclinical development. This review highlights various hypoxia-targeted and activated design strategies for the formulation of drugs or prodrugs and their mechanism of action for tumour diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
A hypoxia activated fluorescent probe AZO-Cy which contains an azo group conjugated to the electron withdrawing part of the fluorescent dye was synthesized. In the presence of NADH, AZO-Cy displayed high selectivity and sensitivity to cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) under low pO2. The probe showed high anti-interference capability in the presence of other biothiols and ions. In A549 cell imaging, the fluorescence intensity is increased about 11-fold under hypoxia compared to normoxia conditions. Further inhibitor experiments showed that CPR is not the only reductase that can take part in the process of azo bond reduction. The probe AZO-Cy displayed high oxygen sensitivity in the identified different hypoxic status of tumor cells which provides huge potential application toward in vivo hypoxia detection. An NIR hypoxia activated fluorescent probe was designed with fast performance and sensitivity response to hypoxic conditions.![]()

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
The tumor hypoxic environment as well as photodynamic therapy (PDT)-induced hypoxia could severely limit the therapeutic efficacy of traditional PDT. Fortunately, the smart integration of hypoxia-responsive drug delivery system with PDT might be a promising strategy to enhance the PDT efficiency that is hindered by the hypoxic environment. Herein, a novel azobenzene (AZO) containing conjugated polymers (CPs)-based nanocarriers (CPs-CPT-Ce6 NPs) was constructed for the combination of PDT with chemotherapy, as well as to enhance the hypoxia-responsive drug release by light. The conjugated polymer chains, used as a matrix to prepare the CPs-CPT-Ce6 NPs, were beneficial for loading hydrophobic photosensitizers and chemotherapy drugs, to improve their cellular uptake. Moreover, the AZO group (-N═N-) in CPs, which can be reduced and cleaved by azoreductase (a typical biomarker of hypoxia) under the hypoxic environment of tumor cells, acts as the hypoxia-responsive linker component. Upon laser irradiation, the CPs-CPT-Ce6 NPs could produce ROS for PDT and then facilitate the enhancement of tumor hypoxic condition, which could further promote the dissociation of CPs via reductive cleavage of AZO bridges to subsequently release cargos (chemotherapeutic drug, CPT) and then significantly enhance the killing effects to tumor cells that were resistant to PDT. Both in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed the improvement of synergistic therapeutic effects of our CPs-CPT-Ce6 NPs. This cascade responsive approach provides an excellent complementary mode for PDT and could open new insights for constructing programmable and controllable responsive systems in biomedical applications.

Abstract
The application of anticancer drug chlorambucil (CLB) in chemotherapy is severely restricted by its insolubility, lability, and toxic side effects; therefore, it is challenging to realize a highly efficient anticancer therapy of chlorambucil. To solve the above drawbacks encountered by chlorambucil, herein we proposed an amphiphilic chlorambucil prodrug-based self-assembled micelle strategy to realize the highly efficient anticancer therapy of chlorambucil. 1,6-Hexanediamine hydrochloride (HDH) serving as the hydrophilic segment was covalently bound to hydrophobic CLB to prepare an amphiphilic prodrug CLB-HDH which could self-assemble into micelles in aqueous solution. These micelles can passively target tumor tissues via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, leading to enhanced cellular internalization. Both the cytotoxicity assay in vitro and anticancer study in vivo confirmed the excellent therapeutic activity of CLB-HDH micelles in comparison with free chlorambucil. Moreover, the hemolysis examination and histological analysis demonstrated the designed CLB-HDH micelles are safe in drug delivery. Therefore, our designed amphiphilic prodrug CLB-HDH micelles bring new opportunity for chlorambucil clinical application to combat cancers.

Abstract
The precise and selective delivery of chemodrugs into tumors represents a critical requirement for anti-cancer therapy. Intelligent delivery systems that are responsive to a single internal or external stimulus often lack sufficient cancer selectivity, which compromises the drug efficacy and induces undesired side effects. To overcome this dilemma, we herein report a cancer-targeting vehicle which allows highly cancer-selective drug release in response to cascaded external (light) and internal (hypoxia) dual triggers. In particular, doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded, hypoxia-dissociable nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared from self-assembled polyethylenimine-nitroimidazole (PEI-NI) micelles that were further co-assembled with hyaluronic acid-Ce6 (HC). Upon accumulation in tumor cells, tumor site-specific light irradiation (660 nm, 10 mW cm-2) generated high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and greatly enhanced the hypoxic levels to induce NP dissociation and accordingly DOX release. A synergistic anti-cancer efficacy between DOX-mediated chemotherapy and Ce6-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) was thus achieved, resulting in reduced side effects to normal tissues/cells. This study therefore provides an effective method to control the cancer-specific drug delivery by responding to cascaded multiple triggers, and it renders promising applications for the programmed combination of chemotherapy and PDT toward cancer treatment.

Abstract
Theranostic systems are receiving ever-increasing attention due to their potential therapeutic utility, imaging enhancement capability, and promise for advancing the field of personalized medicine, particularly as it relates to the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of cancer. In this Tutorial Review, we provide an introduction to the concepts of theranostic drug delivery effected via use of conjugates that are able to target cancer cells selectively, provide cytotoxic chemotherapeutics, and produce readily monitored imaging signals in vitro and in vivo. The underlying design concepts, requiring the synthesis of conjugates composed of imaging reporters, masked chemotherapeutic drugs, cleavable linkers, and cancer targeting ligands, are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on highlighting the potential benefits of fluorogenic reaction-based targeted systems that are activated for both imaging and therapy by cellular entities, e.g., thiols, reactive oxygen species and enzymes, which are present at relatively elevated levels in tumour environments, physiological characteristics of cancer, e.g., hypoxia and acidic pH. Also discussed are systems activated by an external stimulus, such as light. The work summarized in this Tutorial Review will help define the role fluorogenic reaction-based, cancer-targeting theranostics may have in advancing drug discovery efforts, as well as improving our understanding of cellular uptake and drug release mechanisms.

Abstract
Aiming at improved therapeutic efficacies, the combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (chemo-radiotherapy) has been widely studied and applied in clinic. However, the hostile characteristics of tumor microenvironment such as hypoxia often limit the efficacies in both types of cancer therapies. Herein, catalase (CAT), an antioxidant enzyme, is encapsulated inside liposomes constituted by cisplatin (IV)-prodrug-conjugated phospholipid, forming CAT@Pt (IV)-liposome for enhanced chemo-radiotherapy of cancer. After being loaded inside liposomes, CAT within CAT@Pt (IV)-liposome shows retained and well-protected enzyme activity, and is able to trigger decomposition of H2O2 produced by tumor cells, so as to produce additional oxygen for hypoxia relief. As the result, treatment of CAT@Pt (IV)-liposome induces the highest level of DNA damage in cancer cells after X-ray radiation compared to the control groups. In vivo tumor treatment further demonstrates a remarkably improved therapeutic outcome in chemo-radiotherapy with such CAT@Pt (IV)-liposome nanoparticles. Hence, an exquisite type of liposome-based nanoparticles is developed in this work by integrating cisplatin-based chemotherapy and catalase-induced tumor hypoxia relief together for combined chemo-radiotherapy with great synergistic efficacy, promising for clinical translation in cancer treatment.
