Abstract
Chemoimmunotherapy is an effective method to treat cancer, and thus various vehicles have been constructed to co-deliver immune agents and anticancer drugs. But the immune induction process in vivo is highly susceptible to the influence of the material itself. To avoid immune reactions by the materials of delivery systems, herein, a new kind of zwitterionic cryogels (SH cryogels) with extremely low immunogenicity was prepared for chemoimmunotherapy of cancer. Their macroporous structure enabled the SH cryogels to have good compressibility and be injected through a conventional syringe. The loaded chemotherapeutic drugs and immune adjuvants were accurately, locally and long-termly released in the vicinity of tumors, enhancing the outcome of tumor therapy and minimizing the damage caused by the chemotherapeutic drugs to other organ tissues. In vivo tumor treatment experiments indicated that chemoimmunotherapy using the SH cryogel platform could inhibit the growth of breast cancer tumors to the greatest extent. Furthermore, macropores of SH cryogels supported cells to move freely in the cryogels, which could promote the dendritic cells to capture the in situ produced tumor antigens and present them to T cells. The ability to act as cradles for cell infiltration made the SH cryogels promising for applications as vaccine platforms.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanomaterials have attracted substantial interest in cancer therapy, as they hold promise to deliver anticancer agents to tumor sites in a precise and on-demand manner. Interestingly, supramolecular chemistry is a burgeoning discipline that entails the reversible bonding between components at the molecular and nanoscale levels, and the recent advances in this area offer the possibility to design nanotherapeutics with improved controllability and functionality for cancer therapy. Herein, we provide a comprehensive summary of typical non-covalent interaction modes, which primarily include hydrophobic interaction, hydrogel bonding, host-guest interaction, π-π stacking, and electrostatic interaction. Special emphasis is placed on the implications of these interaction modes to design novel stimuli-responsive drug delivery principles and concepts, aiming to enhance the spatial, temporal, and dosage precision of drug delivery to cancer cells. Finally, future perspectives are discussed to highlight current challenges and future opportunities in self-assembly-based stimuli-responsive drug delivery nanotechnologies for cancer therapy.

Size-optimized nuclear-targeting phototherapy enhances the type I interferon response for "cold" tumor immunotherapy. Acta Biomater 2023; 159:338-352. [PMID: 36669551 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.01.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
There is growing interest in the effect of innate immune silencing in "cold" tumors, which always fail in the immune checkpoint blockade monotherapy using PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies (aPD-L1). Combination of aPD-L1 with photodynamic therapy, i.e., photoimmunotherapy, is a promising strategy to improve the mono immunotherapy. Nuclear-targeting nanoparticles could elicit a type I interferon (IFN)-mediated innate immune response and reverse the immunosuppressive microenvironment for long-term immunotherapy of "cold" tumors. Photosensitizers such as zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) have limited ability to target the nucleus and activate innate sensing pathways to minimize tumor recurrence. Additionally, the relationship between nanoparticle size and nuclear entry capacity remains unclear. Herein, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were employed as aPD-L1 and ZnPc carriers. Three particle sizes (200 nm, 32 nm and 5 nm) of aPD-L1/ZnPc/GQD-PEG (PZGE) were synthesized and tested. The 5 nm nanoparticles achieved the best nuclear enrichment capacity contributing to their ultrasmall size. Notably, 5 nm PZGE-based photodynamic therapy enabled an amplification of the type I IFN-mediated innate immune response and could convert "immune-cold" tumors into "immune-hot" ones. Utilizing their size advantage to target the nucleus, 5 nm nanoparticles induced DNA damage and activated the type I IFN-mediated innate immune response, subsequently promoting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte infiltration and reversing negative PD-L1 expression. Furthermore, the nanoplatform we designed is promising for the effective suppression of distant oral squamous cell carcinoma. Thus, for the first time, this study presents a size design strategy for nuclear-targeted photo-controlled immune adjuvants and the nuclear-targeted phototherapy-mediated immunomodulatory functions of type I IFN innate immune signalling for "immune-cold" tumors. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The potential of commonly used photosensitizers to activate innate sensing pathways for producing type I IFNs is limited due to the lack of nuclear targeting. Facilitating the nuclear-targeting of photosensitizers to enhance innate immune response and execute long-term tumor killing effect would be a promising strategy for "cold" tumor photoimmunotherapy. Herein, we report an optimal size of PZGE nanoparticles that enable the nuclear-targeting of ZnPc, which reinforces the type I IFN-mediated innate immune response, synergistically reversing "cold tumors" to "hot tumors" for effective primary and distant tumor photoimmunotherapy. This work highlights the marked efficacy of ultrasmall nuclear-located nanocarriers and offers new insight into "immune-cold tumors" via prominent innate immune activation mediated by nuclear-targeting photoimmunotherapy.

Abstract
A kind of drug-loaded nanomotors with deep penetration was developed to improve the therapeutic effect of ferroptosis on tumor. The nanomotors were constructed by co-loading hemin and ferrocene (Fc) on the surface of bowl-shaped polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles. The near-infrared response of PDA makes the nanomotor have high tumor penetration capability. In vitro experiments show that the nanomotors can exhibit good biocompatibility, high light to heat conversion efficiency, and deep tumor permeability. It is worth noting that under the catalysis of H2O2 overexpressed in the tumor microenvironment, the Fenton-like reagents hemin and Fc loaded on the nanomotors can increase the concentration of toxic •OH. Furthermore, hemin can consume glutathione in tumor cells and trigger the up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1, which can efficiently decompose hemin to Fe2+, thus producing the Fenton reaction and causing a ferroptosis effect. Notably, thanks to the photothermal effect of PDA, it can enhance the generation of reactive oxygen species and thus intervene in the Fenton reaction process, thereby enhancing the ferroptosis effect photothermally. In vivo antitumor results show that the drug-loaded nanomotors with high penetrability showed an effective antitumor therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs)-mediated immunotherapy has attracted extensive attention in tumor elimination. However, the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) severely limits the phenotype of TAMs to pro-tumoral M2 state, suppressing immune response efficacy against tumors. Herein, novel poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-coated, doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets (NSs) were developed as deacidification agent to repolarize TAMs from pro-tumoral M2 to anti-tumoral M1 phenotype for tumor elimination through combined chemodynamic therapy and immunotherapy. When located in tumor regions, LDH-PAA@DOX NSs display good deacidification capacity to neutralize acidic TME, achieving the repolarization of TAMs to M1 phenotype and further activating CD8+ T cells. During the deacidification process, these NSs are acid-responsive and degrade to release Fe3+ and DOX. The former can be reduced to Fe2+ by intracellular glutathione, meanwhile disrupting the antioxidant defense system of tumor cells. The latter can damage tumor cells directly and further stimulate the production of hydrogen peroxide, providing abundant substrate for the Fenton reaction. Toxic hydroxyl radical is excessively produced through Fe2+-mediated Fenton reaction to cause intratumoral oxidative stress. In vivo data revealed that significant tumor elimination can be achieved under LDH-PAA@DOX treatment. This work not only provides a promising paradigm for neutralizing acidic TME using deacidification agent but also highlights the effectiveness of combined chemodynamic therapy and immunotherapy in tumor treatment.

Abstract
The cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT) is limited by a congenital defect, namely the tumor hypoxia. Cancer cells are characterized by the vigorous oxygen-consuming glycolysis, which is well-known as the "Warburg effect" and one of the primary causes for the hypoxia. Herein, we employed the glucose metabolism as the cancer-specific target to enhance the performance of PDT. The Salvianolic acid B as the inhibitor of glucose uptake and aerobic glycolysis was concomitantly delivered with the photosensitizer chlorin e6 by a redox-responsive organosilica cross-linked micelle. The results demonstrated that the Salvianolic acid B suppressed the glucose metabolism, retarded the oxygen consumption to retain adequate oxygen as the ammo for PDT, which remarkably improve the efficacy of PDT both in vitro and in vivo. Our study not only provides an alternative strategy to address the hypoxia problem for PDT, but also enhances the selectivity of the treatment by targeting the cancer-specific Warburg effect.

Abstract
Starvation therapy kills tumor cells via consuming glucose to cut off their energy supply. However, since glucose oxidase (GOx)-mediated glycolysis is oxygen-dependent, the cascade reaction based on GOx faces the challenge of a hypoxic tumor microenvironment. By decomposition of glycolysis production of H2 O2 into O2 , starvation therapy can be enhanced, but chemodynamic therapy is limited. Here, a close-loop strategy for on demand H2 O2 and O2 delivery, release, and recycling is proposed. The nanoreactor (metal-protein-polyphenol capsule) is designed by incorporating two native proteins, GOx and hemoglobin (Hb), in polyphenol networks with zeolitic imidazolate framework as sacrificial templates. Glycolysis occurs in the presence of GOx with O2 consumption and the produced H2 O2 reacts with Hb to produce highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and methemoglobin (MHb) (Fenton reaction). Benefiting from the different oxygen carrying capacities of Hb and MHb, oxygen on Hb is rapidly released to supplement its consumption during glycolysis. Glycolysis and Fenton reactions are mutually reinforced by oxygen supply, consuming more glucose and producing more hydroxyl radicals and ultimately enhancing both starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy. This cascade nanoreactor exhibits high efficiency for tumor suppression and provides an effective strategy for oxygen-mediated synergistic starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a persistent physiological feature of many different solid tumors and a key driver of malignancy, and in recent years, it has been recognized as an important target for cancer therapy. Hypoxia occurs in the majority of solid tumors due to a poor vascular oxygen supply that is not sufficient to meet the needs of rapidly proliferating cancer cells. A hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) can reduce the effectiveness of other tumor therapies, such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. In this review, we discuss the critical role of hypoxia in tumor development, including tumor metabolism, tumor immunity, and tumor angiogenesis. The treatment methods for hypoxic TME are summarized, including hypoxia-targeted therapy and improving oxygenation by alleviating tumor hypoxia itself. Hyperoxia therapy can be used to improve tissue oxygen partial pressure and relieve tumor hypoxia. We focus on the underlying mechanisms of hyperoxia and their impact on current cancer therapies and discuss the prospects of hyperoxia therapy in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Unimolecular micelles (UIMs) exhibit promising potential in the precise diagnosis and accurate treatment of tumor tissues, a pressing problem in the field of medical treatment, because of their perfect stability in the complex and variable microenvironment. In this study, porphyrin-based four-armed star-shaped block polymers with narrow molar mass dispersity (Đ = 1.34) were facilely prepared by photocontrolled bromine-iodine transformation reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (BIT-RDRP). A photothermal conversion dye, ketocyanine, was covalently linked onto the PEG and then introduced into the polymers through a "grafting onto" strategy to obtain polymeric nanomaterial, THPP-4PMMA-b-4P(PEGMA-co-APMA)@NIR-800, with dual PTT/PDT function. The resulting polymers could form monodispersed UIMs in the water below critical aggregation concentration, meanwhile maintaining the capacities of singlet oxygen release and photothermal conversion. Importantly, the UIMs displayed excellent biocompatibility while exerting superior PTT and/or PDT therapeutic effects under the irradiation of specific wavelengths of light, according to in vitro cellular experiments, which is expected to become a new hot spot for cancer therapy and anti-tumor research. Overall, stable and powerful UIMs with dual PTT/PDT function is provided, which are expected to be competitive candidates in cancer therapy.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1156079. [PMID: 37064235 PMCID: PMC10098195 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1156079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 04/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are widely used in the treatment of tumors. However, their application in the treatment of clinical tumors is limited by the complexity and irreversible hypoxia environment generated by tumor tissues. To overcome this limitation, a nanoparticle composed of indocyanine green (ICG) and Fe-MOF-5 was developed. Methods: We prepared F-I@FM5 and measured its morphology, particle size, and stability. Its enzyme like ability and optical effect was verified. Then we used MTT, staining and flow cytometry to evaluated the anti-tumor effect on EMT-6 cells in vitro. Finally, the anti-tumor effect in vivo has been studied on EMT-6 tumor bearing mice. Results: For the composite nanoparticle, we confirmed that Fe-MOF-5 has the best nanozyme activity. In addition, it has excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) under near-infrared light irradiation (808 nm). The composite nanoparticle showed good tumor inhibition effect in vitro and in vivo, which was superior to the free ICG or Fe-MOF-5 alone. Besides, there was no obvious cytotoxicity in major organs within the effective therapeutic concentration. Discussion: Fe-MOF-5 has the function of simulating catalase, which can promote the decomposition of excessive H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment and produce oxygen to improve the hypoxic environment. The improvement of tumor hypoxia can enhance the efficacy of PDT and PTT. This research not only provides an efficient and stable anti-tumor nano platform, but also has broad application prospects in the field of tumor therapy, and provides a new idea for the application of MOF as an important carrier material in the field of photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Phototherapies have many advantages for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment. However, their effects are often limited by short blood circulation time, poor tumor selectivity and weak penetration of phototherapeutic agents, and tumor hypoxia. For overcoming these limitations, a versatile biomimetic system is developed based on red blood cells (RBCs). Photothermal agent new indocyanine green (IR820) is conjugated with the cell/tissue-penetrating TAT peptide and further efficiently encapsulated into the intact RBCs by crossing cell membranes to realize the long blood circulation. Meanwhile, cyclic RGD peptide (cRGD) is linked to the surfaces of RBCs through phospholipid insertion to obtain tumor vessel-targeting ability. Photosensitizer temoporfin (mTHPC) is next loaded into the membranes of RBCs by spontaneous transferring. The acquired biomimetic system (cRGD-RBC@mTHPC/TAT-IR820) exhibits potent photodynamic performance upon 652 nm laser irradiation with the facilitation of oxyhemoglobin, which could not only trigger TAT-IR820 release but also destroy tumor vessels. TAT-IR820 penetrates deeply into tumor tissue via the mediation of TAT peptide, exerting greatly promoted photothermal ablation against TNBC upon 808 nm laser irradiation. In situ generated tumor antigens further induce robust immune responses to suppress TNBC recurrence and metastasis. In summary, this study provides a versatile biomimetic system for comprehensive TNBC treatment via stepwise photodynamic and photothermal activations.

Abstract
Radiosensitizers potentiate the radiotherapy effect while effectively reducing the damage to healthy tissues. However, limited sample accumulation efficiency and low radiation energy deposition in the tumor significantly reduce the therapeutic effect. Herein, we developed multifunctional photocatalysis-powered dandelion-like nanomotors composed of amorphous TiO2 components and Au nanorods (∼93 nm in length and ∼16 nm in outer diameter) by a ligand-mediated interface regulation strategy for NIR-II photoacoustic imaging-guided synergistically enhanced cancer radiotherapy. The non-centrosymmetric nanostructure generates stronger local plasmonic near-fields close to the Au-TiO2 interface. Moreover, the Au-TiO2 Schottky heterojunction greatly facilitates the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, enabling hot electron injection, finally leading to highly efficient plasmon-enhanced photocatalytic activity. The nanomotors exhibit superior motility both in vitro and in vivo, propelled by H2 generated via NIR-catalysis on one side of the Au nanorod, which prevents them from returning to circulation and effectively improves the sample accumulation in the tumor. Additionally, a high radiation dose deposition in the form of more hydroxyl radical generation and glutathione depletion is authenticated. Thus, synergistically enhanced radiotherapeutic efficacy is achieved in both a subcutaneous tumor model and an orthotopic model.

Abstract
BackgroundSecond near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) technology for tumor imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) is an innovative method for tumor diagnosis and treatment. The NIR-II probe can specifically identify tumor cells, and effectively convert light energy into heat energy under the irradiation of NIR laser, thus achieving the integration of non-invasive tumor diagnosis and treatment. In the present study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical investigations to corroborate the efficacy and safety of photothermal therapy.MethodsRelevant preclinical data were retrieved by searching PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, WANFANG and VIP information databases. And the acquired data were analyzed by RevMan Version 5.3 software.ResultsAccording to the inclusion criteria, forty-two articles relating to NIR-II tumor imaging and PTT were recruited for further in-depth analysis. The NIR-II photoacoustic and fluorescence imaging could quickly and accurately identify tumor in mice, manifesting higher signal intensity on tumor site than that of normal tissue. After PTT, the tumor volume of mice decreased miraculously [RR=8.49, 95%CI (4.64, 15.55), P<0.00001], and even disappeared completely [RR=7.01, 95%CI (3.04, 16.13), P<0.00001] with no potential risk of affecting the blood routine.ConclusionsPTT guided by NIR-II imaging can effectively diagnose the tumor lesion and eliminate it with the advantages of non-invasive and higher biosafety.

Abstract
The preparation of multifunctional smart theranostic systems is commonly achieved through complicated strategies, limiting their biomedical applications. Spirulina platensis (SP) microalgae, as a natural helix with some of the intrinsic theranostic functionalities (e.g., fluorescent and photosensitizer pigments), not only facilitates the fabrication process but also guarantees their biosafety for clinical applications. Herein, the helical architecture of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) based on a SP biotemplate was engineered as a safe, biodegradable, and tumor-targeted biohybrid for imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) to combat triple-negative breast cancer. The quasi-spherical AuNPs were embedded throughout the SP cell (Au-SP) with minimally involved reagents, only by controlling the original morphological stability of SP through pH adjustment of the synthesis media. SP thiolation increased the localization of AuNPs selectively on the cell wall without using a reducing agent (Au-TSP). SP autofluorescence, along with the high X-ray absorption of AuNPs, was employed for dual-modal fluorescence and computed tomography (FL/CT) imaging. Furthermore, the theranostic efficacy of Au-SP was improved through a targeting process with folic acid (Au-SP@CF). High tumor inhibition effects were obtained by the excellent photothermal performance of Au-SP@CF in both in vitro and in vivo analyses. Of particular note, a comparison of the photothermal effect of Au-SP@CF with the naked SP and calcined form of Au-SP@CF not only indicated the key role of the helical architecture of AuNPs in achieving a high photothermal effect but also led to the formation of new gold microspiral biohybrids (Au-MS) over the calcination process. In short, well-controllable immobilization of AuNPs, appropriate biodegradability, good hemocompatibility, long-term biosafety, accurate imaging, high tumor suppression, and low tumor metastasis effects under laser irradiation are an array of intriguing attributes, making the proposed biohybrid a promising theranostic system for FL/CT-imaging-guided PTT.

Abstract
The combination of phototherapy and chemotherapy (chemo−photo combination therapy) is an excellent attempt for tumor treatment. The key requirement of this technology is the high drug-loading nanomedicines, which can load either chemotherapy drugs or phototherapy agents at the same nanomedicines and simultaneously deliver them to tumors, and play a multimode therapeutic role for tumor treatment. These nanomedicines have high drug-loading efficiency (>30%) and good tumor combination therapeutic effect with important clinical application potential. Although there are many reports of high drug-loading nanomedicines for tumor therapy at present, systematic analyses on those nanomedicines remain lacking and a comprehensive review is urgently needed. In this review, we systematically analyze the current status of developed high drug-loading nanomedicines for tumor chemo−photo combination therapy and summarize their types, methods, drug-loading properties, in vitro and in vivo applications. The shortcomings of the existing high drug-loading nanomedicines for tumor chemo−photo combination therapy and the possible prospective development direction are also discussed. We hope to attract more attention for researchers in different academic fields, provide new insights into the research of tumor therapy and drug delivery system and develop these nanomedicines as the useful tool for tumor chemo−photo combination therapy in the future.

Fabrication of a phototheranostic nanoplatform for single laser-triggered NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided photothermal/chemo/antiangiogenic combination therapy. Acta Biomater 2022; 151:528-536. [PMID: 35970478 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.08.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Phototheranostics that integrates real-time optical imaging and light-controlled therapy has recently emerged as a promising paradigm for cancer theranostics. Herein, a new small molecule dye DPP-BT-TPA with strong emission above 1000 nm and a redox-responsive prodrug camptothecin-combretastatin A4 (CPT-CA4) were designed and successfully synthesized. A multifunctional phototheranostic nanoplatform was then fabricated by encapsulating them within an amphiphilic polymer. The presence of DPP-BT-TPA enabled high-resolution imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) and efficient photothermal therapy. The prodrug was cleaved by the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment to release the chemotherapeutic drug CPT and the angiogenesis inhibitor CA4. Because this process can be accelerated with elevated temperature, laser-induced hyperthermia was utilized to control the drug release and enhance the therapeutic effect. Tumors in living mice were observed through NIR-II imaging after intravenous injection of the obtained nanoparticles. Improved antitumor efficacy by photothermal/chemo/antiangiogenic combination therapy was achieved with a NIR laser both in vitro and in vivo. This work provides a promising strategy for developing tumor microenvironment responsive and light-controlled theranostic platforms. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window and near-infrared light-controlled drug release have been recognized as efficient strategies for cancer theranostics. Herein, we present a phototheranostic platform fabricated with a biocompatible NIR-II emissive dye DPP-BT-TPA and a redox-responsive prodrug camptothecin-combretastatin A4 (CPT-CA4). DPP-BT-TPA not only provides high-resolution NIR-II imaging in vivo but also enables efficient photothermal therapy. In addition, the photothermal effect largely accelerates the release of the chemotherapeutic drug CPT and the angiogenesis inhibitor CA4 in the glutathione-overexpressed tumor microenvironment. Thus, the designed phototheranostic platform can be used for NIR-II imaging-guided photothermal/chemo/antiangiogenic combination therapy for tumors with a single laser.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based drug delivery holds great promise in topical tumor treatment. However, the simple construction of multifunctional therapeutic hydrogels under physiological conditions is still a huge challenge. Herein, for the first time, a multifunctional hyaluronan/MnO2 nanocomposite (HHM) hydrogel with injectable and self-healing capabilities was constructed under physiological conditions through innovative in situ mineralization-triggered Mn-hydrazide coordination crosslinking. The hydrogel formed from Mn2+ and hydrazided hyaluronan under optimized conditions exhibited a high elastic modulus >1 kPa, injectability, self-healing function, stimuli-responsiveness and catalase-like activity. In vitro and in vivo biological experiments demonstrated that our HHM hydrogel could not only efficiently relieve hypoxia by in situ catalytic decomposition of endogenous H2O2 into O2 but also achieve synergistic photodynamic/photothermal therapy of 4T1 breast cancer in a mouse tumor model. This study presented a novel mineralization-driven metal-hydrazide coordination crosslinking approach and developed a multifunctional therapeutic platform for O2-enhanced efficient topical dual-phototherapy of breast cancer.

B, BIOLOGY 2022; 233:112487.

Abstract
Herein, we present the facile design and construction of a nanodrug system integrating targeted drug delivery and synergistic chemo-photothermal antitumor activity. MoS2 nanosheets were synthesized and modified by ανβ3 integrin binding peptide (Arg-Gly-Asp, RGD) using lipoic acid functionalized polyethylene glycol (LA-PEG-COOH), forming a well dispersed and targeted delivery nanocarrier. Further, covalent coupling of antitumor drug, thiolated doxorubicin (DOX) via disulfide linkage resulted in a novel nanodrug, RGD/MoS2/DOX. The prepared nanocarrier showed favorable stability, biocompatibility and photothermal conversion efficiency. Fluorescence imaging revealed that Hela cells could endocytose far more nanodrug than H9c2 normal myocardial cells due to the targeted delivery characteristic. Particularly, GSH-induced disulfide bond cleavage facilitated the effective release of DOX from the nanodrug in the tumor microenvironment. The survival rate of Hela cells incubated with the nanodrug for 48 h was 22.2 ± 1.2%, which dramatically reduced to 8.9 ± 1.4% in combination with 808 nm NIR irradiation, demonstrating powerful photothermal induced tumor-killing efficacy. In contrast, the survival rates of H9c2 cells treated by the nanodrug and free DOX were 68.5 ± 2.6% and 6.7 ± 2.6%, respectively, an indication of the notably alleviated cardiotoxicity of the designed nanodrug. The cell apoptosis experiment further verified the synergistic chemo-photothermal effect, thus paving a way toward design of high-efficiency and low-toxicity antitumor nanodrug.

Abstract
The combination of checkpoint blockade with focused ultrasound (FUS) physical therapy can enhance antitumor immune response by improving the precision and efficiency of immunotherapy. However, one of the major disadvantages of conventional FUS treatment is the small lesion size, which prolongs treatment duration. We constructed a focused acoustic vortex (FAV) system with a hollow cylindrical focal region, which exhibited a larger focal region compared to conventional FUS of the same frequency. We developed an all-in-one synergistic therapy against metastatic breast cancer based on integrated FAV double combination sequence-regulated phase-transformation nanodroplets (CPDA@PFH) with checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. A single treatment with FAV + CPDA@PFH resulted in 2.25-fold higher inhibition of tumor growth compared to that with FUS + CPDA@PFH. In addition, FAV-regulated CPDA@PFH combined with ICB induced a systemic immune response that not only inhibited the growth of primary (98.41% inhibition rate) and distal (80.71%) 4T1 tumors but also reduced the progression of lung metastasis. In addition, the synergistic therapy achieved long-term immune memory that effectively prevented tumor growth and improved the survival time of mice. The long-term survival rate of 4T1 tumor-bearing mice treated with FAV + CPDA@PFH + Anti-PD-L1 was 57.14% on day 60 after treatment. Our study is a proof-of-concept of cascade-amplified synergistic tumor therapeutics based on ultrasonic-hyperthermia, cavitation, sonodynamic therapy (SDT), and checkpoint blockade immunotherapy through FAV-regulated CPDA@PFH phase-transformation nanodroplets.

Abstract
Therapeutic platforms with spatiotemporal control were recently of considerable interest. However, the site-specific regulation of chemotherapeutics release remains an enormous challenge. Herein, a versatile nanoplatform capable of tumor-specific delivery and controlled drug release, coined as PDDFe, was constructed for elevating cancer theranostics. Iron-oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and doxorubicin (Dox) were encapsulated in pH/thermal-sensitive micelles composed of poly(ethylene)glycol-poly(β-amino esters) and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine to obtain tumor-targeted dual-responsive nanoplatforms. With remarkable magnetic targeting effects, PDDFe specifically accumulated at tumor locations. After internalization by cancer cells, the acidic environment and localized heat generated by hyperthermia therapy would spur PDDFe to become loose and collapse to liberate its payload. In addition to boosting the release, the increased temperature also resulted in direct tumor damage. Meanwhile, the released Dox and IONPs, respectively, stimulated chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy to jointly destroy cancer, thus leading to a pronounced therapeutic effect. In vivo magnetic resonance/fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging experiments validated that the dual-sensitive nanoplatforms were able to accumulate at the tumor sites. Treatment with PDDFe followed by alternating magnetic field and laser irradiation could prime hyperthermia/chemo/chemodynamic therapy to effectively retard tumor growth. This work presents a nanoplatform with a site-specific controlled release characteristic, showing great promises in potentiating drug delivery and advancing combinational cancer therapy.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma (NB), as the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood, is one of the critical culprits affecting children's health. Given the heterogeneity and invisibility of NB tumors, the existing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are inadequate and ineffective in early screening and prognostic improvement. With the rapid innovation and development of nanotechnology, nanomedicines have attracted widespread attention in the field of oncology research for their excellent physiological and chemical properties. In this review, we first explored the current common obstacles in the diagnosis and treatment of NB. Then we comprehensively summarized the advancements in nanotechnology-based multimodal synergistic diagnosis and treatment of NB and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. In addition, a discussion of the pending challenges in biocompatibility and toxicity of nanomedicine was conducted. Finally, we described the development and application status of nanomaterials against some of the recognized targets in the field of NB research, and pointed out prospects for nanomedicine-based precision diagnosis and therapy of NB.

Abstract
Nowadays, brain tumors are challenging problems, and the key of therapy is ensuring therapeutic drugs cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) effectively. Although the efficiency of drug transport across the BBB can be increased by innovating and modifying nanomedicines, they exert insufficient therapeutic effects on brain tumors due to the complex environment of the brain. It is worth noting that ultrasound combined with the cavitation effect of microbubbles can assist BBB opening and enhance brain delivery of nanomedicines. This ultrasound-assisted brain delivery (UABD) technology with related nanomedicines (UABD nanomedicines) can safely open the BBB, facilitate the entry of drugs into the brain, and enhance the therapeutic effect on brain tumors. UABD nanomedicines, as the main component of UABD technology, have great potential in clinical application and have been an important area of interest in the field of brain tumor therapy. However, research on UABD nanomedicines is still in its early stages despite the fact that they have been associated with many disciplines, including material science, brain science, ultrasound, biology, and medicine. Some aspects of UABD theory and technology remain unclear, especially the mechanisms of BBB opening, relationship between materials of nanomedicines and UABD technology, cavitation and UABD nanomedicines design theories. This review introduces the research status of UABD nanomedicines, investigates their properties and applications of brain tumor therapy, discusses the advantages and drawbacks of UABD nanomedicines for the treatment of brain tumors, and offers their prospects. We hope to encourage researchers from various fields to participate in this area and collaborate on developing UABD nanomedicines into powerful tools for brain tumor therapy.

Abstract
A growing body of research has illuminated that photodynamic therapy (PDT) serves as an important therapeutic strategy in oncology and has become a hot topic in recent years. Although numerous papers related to cancer PDT (CPDT) have been published, no bibliometric studies have been conducted to summarize the research landscape, and highlight the research trends and hotspots in this field. This study collected 5,804 records on CPDT published between 2000 and 2021 from Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analysis and visualization were conducted using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and one online platform. The annual publication and citation results revealed significant increasing trends over the past 22 years. China and the United States, contributing 56.24% of the total publications, were the main driving force in this field. Chinese Academy of Sciences was the most prolific institution. Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy and Photochemistry and Photobiology were the most productive and most co-cited journals, respectively. All keywords were categorized into four clusters including studies on nanomaterial technology, clinical applications, mechanism, and photosensitizers. “nanotech-based PDT” and “enhanced PDT” were current research hotspots. In addition to several nano-related topics such as “nanosphere,” “nanoparticle,” “nanomaterial,” “nanoplatform,” “nanomedicine” and “gold nanoparticle,” the following topics including “photothermal therapy,” “metal organic framework,” “checkpoint blockade,” “tumor microenvironment,” “prodrug” also deserve further attention in the near future.

Abstract
Endogenic heat shock proteins and uneven local heat distribution are two main problems in traditional tumor hyperthermia therapy strategies. Aiming at solving these problems, we designed Au–SnSe–PVP nanomaterials (ASNPs) by modifying Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs) and biocompatible PVP on SnSe nanorods via a new reactive oxygen species production strategy. The ASNPs with excellent photothermal conversion performance can produce thermoelectric effects in response to temperature differences during photothermal conversion. The modification of Au-NPs can attract free electron (e–) to accumulate and promote the separation of e– and holes (h+) in the thermoelectric process, thereby further promoting e–-rich Au-NPs-induced H2O2 homolysis and h+–H2O half-reaction to generate hydroxyl radicals, realizing the synergistic application of photothermal therapy and pyroelectric dynamic therapy in tumor treatment.

Nanotechnology-based phototherapy has attracted enormous attention to cancer treatment owning to its non-invasiveness, high controllability and accuracy. Given the fast development of anti-tumor strategies, we summarize various examples of multifunctional nanosystems to highlight the recent advances in nanotechnology-based combinatorial phototherapy towards improving cancer treatment. The limitations of the monotherapeutic approach and the superiority of the photo-involved combinatorial strategies are discussed in each part. The future breakthroughs and clinical perspectives of combinatorial phototherapy are also outlooked. Our perspectives may inspire researchers to develop more effective phototherapy-based cancer-treating approaches.

Abstract
Multiple biological barriers and tumor metastasis severely impede the tumor therapy. To address these adversities, an acid-activated poly (ethylene glycol)-poly-l-lysine-2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride/poly (ε-caprolactone)-poly(l-arginine)/β-lapachone nanoparticles (mPEG-PLL-DMA/PCL-P(L-arg)/β-Lap, PLM/PPA/β-Lap NPs) were constructed with charge-reversal and size-reduction for β-Lap delivery with a cascade reaction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) production. The nanosystem exhibited highly penetrable, superior cellular uptake and desirable endo-lysosomal escape thanks to size-reduction, charge-reversal and proton sponge, respectively. The vast bulk of ROS, which rapidly generated from β-Lap under high concentration quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), catalyzed guanidine groups to produce NO and generated highly toxic peroxynitrite (ONOO-). ONOO- would activate pro-matrix metalloproteinases (pro-MMPs) to generate MMPs, degrade the dense extracellular matrix (ECM) to augment the penetration capability, and aggravate DNA damage. NO and ONOO- influenced mitochondrial function by decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential and prevented the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which inhibited the ATP-dependent tumor-derived microvesicles (TMVs) and restrained tumor metastasis. NO was defined as an epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) inhibitor to restrain tumor metastasis. All consequences demonstrated that PLM/PPA/β-lap NPs exhibited efficient penetration capability, outstanding anti-metastasis activity and favorable antitumor efficacy. Those novel acid-activated NPs are intended to provide further inspiration for multifunctional NO gas therapy.

Abstract
Designing and developing nanomedicine based on the tumor microenvironment (TME) for effective cancer treatment is highly desirable. In this work, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) dispersed nanoscale metal-organic framework (NMOF) of Fe-TCPP (TCPP = tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin) loaded with hypoxia-activable prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) and coated by the cancer cell membrane (CM) is constructed (the formed nanocomposite denoted as PFTT@CM). Due to the functionalization with the homologous cancer cell membrane, PFTT@CM is camouflaged to evade the immune clearance and preferentially accumulates at the tumor site. Once internalized by cancer cells, PFTT@CM is activated by the TME through redox reaction and Fenton reaction between Fe3+ in nano-platform and endogenous glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to promote GSH exhausting as well as •OH and O2 production, which triggers ferroptosis and dramatically enhances photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy. Subsequently, the PDT process mediated by TCPP and light would consume oxygen and aggravate tumor hypoxia to further activate the prodrug TPZ for cancer chemotherapy. As a consequence, the TME-driven PFTT@CM nano-platform not only demonstrated its TME modulation ability but also showed a sequential synergistic therapy, which eventually inhibited the cancer cell proliferation. This multimodal nano-platform is expected to shed light on the design of TME-activatable reaction to reinforce the synergistic therapeutic outcome and facilitate the development of effective cancer nanomedicine.

Abstract
As reported, breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women and has overtaken lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide by 2020. Currently, phototherapy is a promising anti-tumor therapy due to its fewer side effects, less invasiveness, and lower cost. However, its application in cancer therapeutics is limited by the incomplete therapeutic effect caused by low drug penetration and monotherapy. Herein, we built a charge-reversal nanoplatform (Ce6-PLGA@PDA-PAH-DMMA NPs), including polydopamine (PDA) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) for enhancing photothermal/photodynamic synergistic therapy. The PAH-DMMA charge-reversal layer enabled Ce6-PLGA@PDA-PAH-DMMA NPs to have long blood circulation at the normal physiological environment and to successfully realize charge reversal under the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment, improving cellular uptake. Besides, in vitro tests demonstrated that Ce6-PLGA@PDA-PAH-DMMA NPs had high photothermal conversion and greater anti-tumor activity than no charge-reversal nanoparticles, which overcame the limited tumor therapeutic efficacy of PTT or photodynamic therapy alone. Overall, the design of pH-responsive and charge-reversal nanoparticles (Ce6-PLGA@PDA-PAH-DMMA NPs) provided a promising approach for synergistic PTT/PDT therapy against breast cancer.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a well-known feature of malignant solid tumors. To explain the misinterpretation of tumor hypoxia variation during chemotherapy, we developed a DNA origami-based theranostic nanoplatform with an intercalated anticancer anthraquinone as both the chemotherapeutic drug and the photoacoustic contrast agent. The size distribution of the DNA origami nanostructure is 44.5 ± 2.3 nm, whereas the encapsulation efficiency of the drug is 90.7 ± 1.0%, and the drug loading content is 92.2 ± 0.1%. The controlled cumulative release rates were measured in vitro, showing an acidic environment induced rapid drug release. The values of free energy of binding between the drugs and the DNA double helix were calculated through molecular simulations. The cell viability assay was used to characterize cytotoxicity, and fluorescence confocal cell imaging illustrates the biodistribution of the probe in vitro. Photoacoustic and fluorescence imaging were used to indicate drug delivery, release, and biodistribution to predict the drug's chemotherapeutic effect in vivo, whereas the photoacoustic signals were compared with those of deoxygenated/oxygenated hemoglobin to represent the tissue hypoxia/normoxia maps during the chemotherapeutic process and indicate alleviated tumor hypoxia. Staining of tissue sections taken from organs and tumors was used to verify the results of photoacoustic imaging. Our results suggest that photoacoustic imaging can visualize this DNA origami-based theranostic nanoplatform and reveal the mechanisms of chemotherapy on tumor hypoxia.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on Fenton or Fenton-like reactions is an emerging cancer treatment that can both effectively fight cancer and reduce side effects on normal cells and tissues, and it has made important progress in cancer treatment. The catalytic efficiency of Fenton nanocatalysts(F-NCs) directly determines the anticancer effect of CDT. To learn more about this new type of therapy, this review summarizes the recent development of F-NCs that are responsive to tumor microenvironment (TME), and detailedly introduces their material design and action mechanism. Based on the deficiencies of them, some effective strategies to significantly improve the anticancer efficacy of F-NCs are highlighted, which mainly includes increasing the temperature and hydrogen peroxide concentration, reducing the pH, glutathione (GSH) content, and the dependence of F-NCs on acidic environment in the TME. It also discusses the differences between the effect of multi-mode therapy with external energy (light and ultrasound) and the single-mode therapy of CDT. Finally, the challenges encountered in the treatment process, the future development direction of F-NCs, and some suggestions are analyzed to promote CDT to enter the clinical stage in the near future.

Abstract
The hypoxic nature of tumours limits the efficiency of oxygen-dependent photodynamic therapy (PDT). Hence, in this study, indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded lipid-coated zinc peroxide (ZnO2) nanoparticles (ZnO2@Lip-ICG) was constructed to realize tumour microenvironment (TME)-responsive self-oxygen supply. Near infrared light irradiation (808 nm), the lipid outer layer of ICG acquires sufficient energy to produce heat, thereby elevating the localised temperature, which results in accelerated ZnO2 release and apoptosis of tumour cells. The ZnO2 rapidly generates O2 in the TME (pH 6.5), which alleviates tumour hypoxia and then enhances the PDT effect of ICG. These results demonstrate that ZnO2@Lip-ICG NPs display good oxygen self-supported properties and outstanding PDT/PTT characteristics, and thus, achieve good tumour proliferation suppression.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has received increasing attention for treating tumors. However, a long-standing challenge in PTT is non-uniform distribution of photothermal agents (PAs) in tumor tissues, resulting in limited therapeutic efficiency. Herein, inspired by dandelions blowing away by the wind, we have designed a DNA-assembled visible GRS-DNA-CuS nanodandelion, which can achieve uniform intra-tumor distribution (UITD) of PAs, thus enhancing the photothermal therapeutic efficiency. GRS-DNA-CuS is featured by the formation of hydrogen bond between the core of single-strand DNA-modified Raman nanoprobes (GRS) and the shell of complementary single-strand DNA-modified CuS PAs. Under Raman imaging-guided 1st NIR irradiation, hydrogen bond in GRS-DNA-CuS is explosively broken, resulting in large-sized GRS-DNA-CuS (∼135 nm) be completely dissociated into GRS and ultra-small CuS PAs (∼12 nm) within 1 min. Such an explosive dissociation instantly enhances the local concentration of ultra-small CuS PAs and slightly rises intra-tumor temperature, thus increasing the diffusion coefficient of PAs and promoting their UITD. This UITD of CuS PAs enhances the photothermal anti-tumor effects. Three out of five tumors are completely eliminated under photoacoustic imaging-guided 2nd NIR irradiation. Overall, this study provides one UITD-guided PTT strategy for highly effective tumor treatment by exerting explosive breakage property of hydrogen bond, broadening the application scope of DNA-assembly technique in oncology field.

Abstract
The successful treatment of infected wounds requires strategies with effective antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and healing-promoting properties. Accordingly, the use of Cu2+ and tetracycline (TC), which can promote angiogenesis, re-epithelialization, and collagen deposition, also antibacterial activity, at the wound site, has shown application prospects in promoting infected wound repair. However, realizing controllable release to prolong action time and avoid potential toxicities is critical. Moreover, near-infrared light (NIR)-activated mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA NPs) reportedly exert anti-inflammatory effects by eliminating the reactive oxygen species generated during inflammatory responses. In this study, we assess whether Cu2+ and TC loaded in MPDA NPs can accelerate infected wound healing in mice. In particular, Cu2+ is chelated and immobilized on the surface of MPDA NPs, while a thermosensitive phase-change material (PCM; melting point: 39-40 °C), combined with antibiotics, was loaded into the MPDA NPs as a gatekeeper (PPMD@Cu/TC). Results show that PPMD@Cu/TC exhibits significant great photothermal properties with NIR irradiation, which induces the release of Cu2+, while inducing PCM melting and, subsequent, TC release. In combination with anti-inflammatory therapy, NIR-triggered Cu2+ and TC release enables the nanocomposite to eradicate bacterial wound infections and accelerate healing. Importantly, negligible damage to primary organs and satisfactory biocompatibility were observed in the murine model. Collectively, these findings highlight the therapeutic potential of this MPDA-based platform for controlling bacterial infection and accelerating wound healing.

Abstract
Multifunctional phototheranostics combining diagnostic and therapeutic modalities may provide a revolutionary opportunity for cancer treatment. As a promising tumor phototheranostic molecule, IR780 iodide (IR780) shows excellent photodynamic and photothermal performance under near-infrared laser irradiation; however, its hydrophobicity and instability limit its further use in organisms. This work demonstrates the design and development of a multifunctional nanoplatform (PMIDA, referring to polydopamine (PDA)-manganese dioxide (MnO2)-IR780) for imaging-guided phototherapy. The good biocompatibility of PDA greatly improves the water solubility and photostability of IR780, and its excellent photothermal properties make PMIDA a dual photothermal therapy (PTT). MnO2-induced generation of oxygen in the tumor microenvironment improves the hypoxia effect and photodynamic therapy (PDT) of IR780. Moreover, Mn2+ serves as a decent T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probe to guide treatment. Notably, in relevant cellular assays, PMIDA shows high photodynamic and photothermal effects contributing to the final therapeutic effect. The MRI-guided PDT/PTT synergistic therapy effect in vivo is demonstrated by precise tumor diagnosis and complete tumor elimination outcomes. Based on these experiments, PMIDA nanoparticles display promising effects in facilitating intravenous injection of IR780 and achieving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided phototheranostic efficacy for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Currently, the combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) with photothermal therapy (PTT) modalities based on a single near infrared (NIR) laser irradiation and highly selective internalization still remain a challenge. Herein, a hierarchical dual-responsive cleavable nanosystem for synergetic NIR triggered PDT/PTT is reported. The engineered nanoplatform (Au NRs/Cur/UCNPs@PBE) is designed by loading curcumin (Cur, photosensitizer) on gold nanarods (Au NRs) to build PDT/PTT therapy system, which was encapsulated outside with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and then modified with phenylboronic double ester (PBE). The pH and ROS-responsive feature made Au NRs/Cur/UCNPs@PBE provide a fundamental structural evolution and improve the specificity and intracellular accumulation to tumors. Au NRs/Cur/UCNPs@PBE exhibited significant PDT and PTT efficiency against two type melanoma cells due to upconversion nanoparticles and Au NRs induced by an 808 nm laser. Notably, the platform can mainly activate apoptosis and partial ferroptosis to achieve the synergistic PDT/PTT, furthermore, the integrated PDT with PTT using Au NRs/Cur/UCNPs@PBE showcased a great antitumor efficacy in vivo superior to the other alone treatment. Our findings highlight that this intelligent nanoagents for synergistic phototherapy facilitate enhanced fighting melanoma and provide a promising strategy for melanoma theranostics.

Abstract
Developments in framework nucleic acids (FNAs) are limited by complicated synthesis, by-product interference, and low framework utilization. Herein, simple core-shell spherical 3D FNAs (ST-SFNAs) preparation is presented based on siRNA-templated linear polymerization followed by hybridization chain reaction branched polymerization. Without by-products, all components exhibited their special functions to obtain high space utilization of ST-SFNAs. ST-SFNAs were covered by catalase and folic acid-functionalized liposome membranes. The catalase endowed ST-SFNAs with chemotactic activities in the H2O2 reaction catalyzed by catalase. Furthermore, combined with functionalized folic acids' targeting folate receptors, the synergistic chemotactic recognition of cancer cells was obtained. This dramatically promoted targeted cellular uptakes compared with traditional active or passive targeting pathways. Subsequently, the cascaded-logical programmable release of drugs was precisely controlled by targeting glutathione and ATP (via S-S bond and ATP aptamer on the inner g-DNA cover). This was visualized by "turn on" fluorescent signals generated by special hybridization of released hairpin DNAs with survivin mRNA biomarkers. Simultaneously, biocompatible synergistic therapy was achieved by simultaneously releasing doxorubicin and siRNA. With its high utilization for synergistic chemotactic recognition, programmable and visualized delivery, as well as synergistic therapy, an efficient platform for maximizing the therapeutic efficacy has been developed. This would initiate further FNA-based material development for a variety of biological applications.

Abstract
The synergistic combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy has attracted considerable attention for its enhanced antitumoral effects; however, it remains challenging to successfully delivery photosensitizers and anticancer drugs while minimizing drug leakage at off-target sites. A red-light-activatable metallopolymer, Poly(Ru/PTX), is synthesized for combined chemo-photodynamic therapy. The polymer has a biodegradable backbone that contains a photosensitizer Ru complex and the anticancer drug paclitaxel (PTX) via a singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) cleavable linker. The polymer self-assembles into nanoparticles, which can efficiently accumulate at the tumor sites during blood circulation. The distribution of the therapeutic agents is synchronized because the Ru complex and PTX are covalently conjugate to the polymer, and off-target toxicity during circulation is also mostly avoided. Red light irradiation at the tumor directly cleaves the Ru complex and produces 1 O2 for photodynamic therapy. Sequentially, the generated 1 O2 triggers the breakage of the linker to release the PTX for chemotherapy. Therefore, this novel sequential dual-model release strategy creates a synergistic chemo-photodynamic therapy while minimizing drug leakage. This study offers a new platform to develop smart delivery systems for the on-demand release of therapeutic agents in vivo.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has aroused great research interest in recent years owing to its high spatiotemporal selectivity, minimal invasiveness, and low systemic toxicity. However, due to the hypoxic nature characteristic of many solid tumors, PDT is frequently limited in therapeutic effect. Moreover, the consumption of O2 during PDT may further aggravate the tumor hypoxic condition, which promotes tumor proliferation, metastasis, and invasion resulting in poor prognosis of treatment. Therefore, numerous efforts have been made to increase the O2 content in tumor with the goal of enhancing PDT efficacy. Herein, these strategies developed in past decade are comprehensively reviewed to alleviate tumor hypoxia, including 1) delivering exogenous O2 to tumor directly, 2) generating O2 in situ, 3) reducing tumor cellular O2 consumption by inhibiting respiration, 4) regulating the TME, (e.g., normalizing tumor vasculature or disrupting tumor extracellular matrix), and 5) inhibiting the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway to relieve tumor hypoxia. Additionally, the O2 -independent Type-I PDT is also discussed as an alternative strategy. By reviewing recent progress, it is hoped that this review will provide innovative perspectives in new nanomaterials designed to combat hypoxia and avoid the associated limitation of PDT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor phototherapy especially photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photothermal therapy (PTT), has been considered as an attractive strategy to elicit significant immunogenic cell death (ICD) at an optimal tumor retention of PDT/PTT agents. Heptamethine cyanine dye (IR-780), a promising PDT/PTT agent, which can be used for near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence/photoacoustic (PA) imaging guided tumor phototherapy, however, the strong hydrophobicity, short circulation time, and potential toxicity in vivo hinder its biomedical applications. To address this challenge, we developed mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA) with excellent biocompatibility, PTT efficacy, and PA imaging ability, facilitating an efficient loading and protection of hydrophobic IR-780. RESULTS The IR-780 loaded MPDA (IR-780@MPDA) exhibited high loading capacity of IR-780 (49.7 wt%), good physiological solubility and stability, and reduced toxicity. In vivo NIR fluorescence and PA imaging revealed high tumor accumulation of IR-780@MPDA. Furthermore, the combined PDT/PTT of IR-780@MPDA could induce ICD, triggered immunotherapeutic response to breast tumor by the activation of cytotoxic T cells, resulting in significant suppression of tumor growth in vivo. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the as-developed compact and biocompatible platform could induce combined PDT/PTT and accelerate immune activation via excellent tumor accumulation ability, offering multimodal tumor theranostics with negligible systemic toxicity.

Abstract
Conventional cancer phototherapy with single modality suffers from low therapeutic efficacy and undesired posttreatment damage for adjacent normal tissues. Therefore, the lower NIR laser irradiation power is vital to the reduction or preclusion of risk of scalds and burns in normal tissues. Herein, we rationally proposed a novel multifunctional nanocomplex, which enabled good magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast effect and promising photothermal conversion efficacy. The prepared core/shell nanocomplexes [MSN-Ce6@PDA (Mn)] were composed of chlorin e6-embedded mesoporous silica/nanoparticle composites as the cores, and then polydopamine and manganese ions were conjugated on the cores to form protective shells. The MSN-Ce6@PDA (Mn) nanocomplexes revealed superior properties in colloidal stability, photothermal conversion, reaction oxygen species generation, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. Under the guidance of MR and fluorescence imaging, these MSN-Ce6@PDA (Mn) nanocomplexes were found to be primarily accumulated in the MDA-MB-231 tumor area. Furthermore, the combined photodynamic and photothermal therapy exhibited strong inhibition to the growth of MDA-MB-231 tumor in vitro and in vivo. Besides, the MSN-Ce6@PDA (Mn) nanocomplexes also exhibited excellent biocompatibility and low damage to the healthy animals. Hence, the results demonstrated that the prepared MSN-Ce6@PDA (Mn) nanocomplex would be a promising potential for multimodal imaging-guided phototherapy.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are an emerging class of quasi-zero-dimensional photoluminescent nanomaterials with particle sizes less than 10 nm. Owing to their favourable water dispersion, strong chemical inertia, stable optical performance, and good biocompatibility, CQDs have become prominent in biomedical fields. CQDs can be fabricated by “top-down” and “bottom-up” methods, both of which involve oxidation, carbonization, pyrolysis and polymerization. The functions of CQDs include biological imaging, biosensing, drug delivery, gene carrying, antimicrobial performance, photothermal ablation and so on, which enable them to be utilized in antitumour applications. The purpose of this review is to summarize the research progress of CQDs in antitumour applications from preparation and characterization to application prospects. Furthermore, the challenges and opportunities of CQDs are discussed along with future perspectives for precise individual therapy of tumours.

An all-in-one nanoplatform with near-infrared light promoted on-demand oxygen release and deep intratumoral penetration for synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 608:1543-1552. [PMID: 34742072 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.10.082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Hypoxia and high-density extracellular matrix within the tumor microenvironment (TME) strengthens tumor resistance to the oxygen-dependent cancer therapy. Herein, an on-demand oxygen released nanoplatform (MONs/IR780/PFC-O2@BSA, BMIPO) that was triggered by near-infrared (NIR) light combined with TME has been designed for achieving synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy with deep intratumoral penetration and oxygen self-sufficiency. Notably, the zeta potential and transmission electron microscope (TEM) results indicated that such "smart" BMIPO nanoplatform possessed good colloidal stability and on-demand TME-specific degradability. This characteristic of the BMIPO nanoplatform allows it to simultaneously achieve high tumor accumulation and deep intratumoral penetration. The results of the O2 loading and release measurements showed that the as- prepared BMIPO possessed excellent O2 reversibly bind/release performance. Furthermore, the photothermal effect of NIR dye (IR780) accelerated the dissociation of TME-responsive BMIPO, as a result, it achieved an on-demand, continuous and complete O2 release to relieve tumor hypoxia during phototherapy. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that the as-prepared all-in-one nanoplatform have successfully realized NIR-triggered on-demand O2 release, nanocarrier-mediated glutathione (GSH) reducing, hyperthermia-promoted deep intratumoral penetration and dual-model imaging-guided precise cancer therapy. This work would provide inspiration for the design of nanoplatforms with on-demand release and deep intratumoral penetration for achieving high-efficiency synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy in hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
In this work, we developed the first 3D-printed polyetheretherketone (PEEK)-based bone scaffold with multi-functions targeting challenging bone diseases such as osteosarcoma and osteomyelitis. A 3D-printed PEEK/graphene nanocomposite scaffold was deposited with a drug-laden (antibiotics and/or anti-cancer drugs) hydroxyapatite coating. The graphene nanosheets within the scaffold served as effective photothermal agents that endowed the scaffold with on-demand photothermal conversion function under near-infrared laser irradiation. The bioactive hydroxyapatite coating significantly boosted the stem cell proliferation in vitro and promoted new bone growth in vivo. The presence of antibiotics and anti-cancer drugs enabled eradication of drug-resistant bacteria and ablation of osteosarcoma cancer cells, the treatment efficacy of which can be further enhanced by on-demand laser-induced heating. The promising results demonstrate the strong potential of our multi-functional scaffold in applications such as bone defect repair and multimodal treatment of osteosarcoma and osteomyelitis.
