Normalization of Tumor Vessels by Lenvatinib-Based Metallo-Nanodrugs Alleviates Hypoxia and Enhances Calreticulin-Mediated Immune Responses in Orthotopic HCC and Organoids. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023:e2207786.

Abstract
Immunocheckpoint inhibitors combined with Lenvatinib is the first line treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but their potency is hampered by the low response rate and adverse events. Herein, a targeted therapeutic strategy through the coassembly of Lenvatinib, Adriamycin, Fe3+ ion, and a natural polyphenol (metallo-nanodrugs) is presented by coordination effect for potentiating tumor vascular normalization and systematic chemo-immunotherapy to effectively inhibit the progression of HCC in both orthotopic model and patients-derived organoids. In mice with orthotopic HCC, the obtained metallo-nanodrugs efficiently increase the drug accumulation in orthotopic tumors and can respond to acidic tumor environment. The promotion of tumor vascular normalization by metallo-nanodrugs is observed, which enhances the infiltrating T lymphocytes in tumor, and reinforces the calreticulin-mediated antitumor immunity through alleviating hypoxia, reducing regulatory T cells, and down-regulating PDL1 expression of tumors. The excellent therapeutic efficiency with complete remission of orthotopic tumors (3/6) and long-term survival of mice (4/6, 42 days) are also achieved. Furthermore, the excellent therapeutic effect of metallo-nanodrugs is also validated in 5 patient-derived organoids, and hence can provide a marvelous systemic chemo-immunotherapy strategy for enhancing HCC treatment.

Abstract
In this study, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanosheets with unimolecular thickness were successfully synthesized by cross-linking polymerization in the 2D nanospaces of a metal-organic framework. In contrast to 1D and 3D analogues, crystallization could be inhibited by the topological constraint of the ultrathin 2D network structure, allowing for an efficient thermal transformation reaction of PAN. The amorphous nature of the PAN nanosheets led to an increase in the access of oxygen molecules to the polymer chains, facilitating the thermal dehydroaromatization reactions to yield a ladder polymer structure with a highly extended conjugated system. Notably, further carbonization of this ladder polymer afforded graphitic carbon with a highly ordered structure because of the well-defined precursor structure.

Abstract
A variety of nanomaterials have been developed specifically for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery in cancer treatment. These materials involve both synthetic and natural nanoparticles and nanofibers of varying dimensions. The efficacy of a drug delivery system (DDS) depends on its biocompatibility, intrinsic high surface area, high interconnected porosity, and chemical functionality. Recent advances in metal-organic framework (MOF) nanostructures have led to the achievement of these desirable features. MOFs consist of metal ions and organic linkers that are assembled in different geometries and can be produced in 0, 1, 2, or 3 dimensions. The defining features of MOFs are their outstanding surface area, interconnected porosity, and variable chemical functionality, which enable an endless range of modalities for loading drugs into their hierarchical structures. MOFs, coupled with biocompatibility requisites, are now regarded as highly successful DDSs for the treatment of diverse diseases. This review aims to present the development and applications of DDSs based on chemically-functionalized MOF nanostructures in the context of cancer treatment. A concise overview of the structure, synthesis, and mode of action of MOF-DDS is provided.

Abstract
CRISPR/Cas systems are novel gene editing tools with tremendous capacity and accuracy for gene editing and hold great potential for therapeutic genetic manipulation. However, the lack of safe and efficient delivery methods for CRISPR/Cas and its guide RNA hinders their wide adoption for therapeutic applications. To this end, there is an increasing demand for safe, efficient, precise, and non-pathogenic delivery approaches, both in vitro and in vivo. With the convergence of nanotechnology and biomedicine, functional nanocomposites have demonstrated unparalleled sophistication to overcome the limits of CRISPR/Cas delivery. The tunability of the physicochemical properties of nanocomposites makes it very easy to conjugate them with different functional substances. The combinatorial application of diverse functional materials in the form of nanocomposites has shown excellent properties for CRISPR/Cas delivery at the target site with therapeutic potential. The recent highlights of selective organ targeting and phase I clinical trials for gene manipulation by CRISPR/Cas after delivery through LNPs are at the brink of making it to routine clinical practice. Here we summarize the recent advances in delivering CRISPR/Cas systems through nanocomposites for targeted delivery and therapeutic genome editing.

Abstract
This study describes an efficient antimicrobial drug delivery system composed of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) coated by an MOF-199 network. Then, the prepared vancomycin (VAN)-loaded carrier was fully packed in a lattice of beta-cyclodextrin (BCD). For cell adhesion, beta-cyclodextrin has been functionalized with guanidine (Gn) groups within in situ synthetic processes. Afterward, drug loading efficiency and the release patterns were investigated through precise analytical methods. Confocal microscopy has shown that the prepared cargo (formulated as [VAN@Fe3O4/MOF-199]BCD-Gn) could be attached to the Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterial cells in a higher rate than the individual VAN. The presented system considerably increased the antibacterial effects of the VAN with a lower dosage of drug. The cellular experiments such as the zone of inhibition and optical density (OD600) have confirmed the enhanced antibacterial effect of the designed cargo. In addition, the MIC/MBC (minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations) values have been estimated for the prepared cargo compared to the individual VAN, revealing high antimicrobial potency of the VAN@Fe3O4/MOF-199]BCD-Gn cargo.

Abstract
The development of efficient enzyme immobilization to promote their recyclability and activity is highly desirable. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) has been proved to be an effective platform for enzyme immobilization due to its easy preparation and biocompatibility. However, the intrinsic hydrophobic characteristic hinders its further development in this filed. Herein, a facile synthesis approach was developed to immobilize pepsin (PEP) on the ZIF-8 carrier by using Ni2+ ions as anchor (ZIF-8@PEP-Ni). By contrast, the direct coating of PEP on the surface of ZIF-8 (ZIF-8@PEP) generated significant conformational changes. Electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was employed to study the catalytic activity of immobilized PEP. The ZIF-8@PEP-Ni composite attains remarkable OER performance with an ultralow overpotential of only 127 mV at 10 mA cm-2 , which is much lower than the 690 and 919 mV overpotential values of ZIF-8@PEP and PEP, respectively.

Abstract
Redox imbalance can trigger cell dysfunction and damage and plays a vital role in the origin and progression of many diseases. Maintaining the balance between oxidants and antioxidants in vivo is a complicated and arduous task, leading to ongoing research into the construction of redox nanomaterials. Nanodrug platforms with redox characteristics can not only reduce the adverse effects of oxidative stress on tissues by removing excess oxidants from the body but also have multienzyme-like activity, which can play a cytotoxic role in tumor tissues through the catalytic oxidation of their substrates to produce harmful reactive oxygen species such as hydroxyl radicals. In this review, various redox nanomaterials currently used in disease therapy are discussed, emphasizing the treatment methods and their applications in tumors and other human tissues. Finally, the limitations of the current clinical application of redox nanomaterials are considered.

Abstract
The complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) severely hinders the therapeutic effects of various cancer treatment modalities. The TME differs from normal tissues owing to the presence of hypoxia, low pH, and immune-suppressive characteristics. Modulation of the TME to reverse tumor growth equilibrium is considered an effective way to treat tumors. Recently, polymeric nanomedicines have been widely used in cancer therapy, because their synthesis can be controlled and they are highly modifiable, and have demonstrated great potential to remodel the TME. In this review, we outline the application of various stimuli responsive polymeric nanomedicines to modulate the TME, aiming to provide insights for the design of the next generation of polymeric nanomedicines and promote the development of polymeric nanomedicines for cancer therapy.

Abstract
As a burgeoning bioorthogonal reaction, the fluoride-mediated desilylation is capable of prodrug activation. However, due to the reactions lack of cell selectivity and unitary therapy modality, this strongly impedes their biomedical applications. Herein, we construct a cancer cell-selective biomimetic metal-organic framework (MOF)-F platform for prodrug activation and enhanced synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT). With cancer cell membranes camouflage, the designed biomimetic nanocatalyst displays preferential accumulation to homotypic cancer cells. Then, pH-responsive nanocatalyst releases fluoride ions and ferric ions. For activation of our designed prodrug tert-butyldimethyl silyl (TBS)-hydroxycamptothecin (TBSO-CPT), fluoride ions can desilylate TBS and cleave the designed silyl ether linker to synthesize the OH-CPT (10-hydroxycamptothecin) drug molecule, which effectively kills cancer cells. Intriguingly, the bioorthogonal-synthesized OH-CPT drug upregulates intracellular H2O2 by activating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX), amplifying the released iron induced Fenton reaction for synergistic CDT. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate our strategy presents a versatile fluoride-activated bioorthogonal catalyst for cancer cell-selective drug synthesis. Our work may accelerate the biomedical applications of fluoride-activated bioorthogonal chemistry.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have a good designability, a well-defined pore, stimulus responsiveness, a high surface area, and a controllable morphology. Up to now, various MOFs have been widely used as nanocarriers and have attracted lots of attention in the field of drug delivery and release because of their good biocompatibility and high-drug-loading capacity. Herein, we provide a comprehensive summary of MOF-based nanocarriers for drug delivery and release over the last five years. Meanwhile, some representative examples are highlighted in detail according to four categories, including the University of Oslo MOFs, Fe-MOFs, cyclodextrin MOFs, and other MOFs. Moreover, the opportunities and challenges of MOF-based smart delivery vehicles are discussed. We hope that this review will be helpful for researchers to understand the recent developments and challenges of MOF-based drug-delivery systems.

Abstract
Effective pest management for enhanced crop output is one of the primary goals of establishing sustainable agricultural practices in the world. Pesticides are critical in preventing biological disasters, ensuring crop productivity, and fostering sustainable agricultural production growth. Studies showed that crops are unable to properly utilize pesticides because of several limiting factors, such as leaching and bioconversion, thereby damaging ecosystems and human health. In recent years, stimuli-responsive systems for pesticides delivery (SRSP) by nanotechnology demonstrated excellent promise in enhancing the effectiveness and safety of pesticides. SRSP are being developed with the goal of delivering precise amounts of active substances in response to biological needs and environmental factors. An in-depth analysis of carrier materials, design fundamentals, and classification of SRSP were provided. The adhesion of SRSP to crop tissue, absorption, translocation in and within plants, mobility in the soil, and toxicity were also discussed. The problems and shortcomings that need be resolved to accelerate the actual deployment of SRSP were highlighted in this review.

Abstract
The assembly of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-responsive and miRNA-responsive DNA tetrahedra-functionalized carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel microcapsules is presented. The microcapsules are loaded with the doxorubicin-dextran drug or with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots as a drug model. Selective unlocking of the respective microcapsules and the release of the loads in the presence of ATP or miRNA-141 are demonstrated. Functionalization of the hydrogel microcapsules a with corona of DNA tetrahedra nanostructures yields microcarriers that revealed superior permeation into cells. This is demonstrated by the effective permeation of the DNA tetrahedra-functionalized microcapsules into MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, as compared to epithelial MCF-10A nonmalignant breast cells. The superior permeation of the tetrahedra-functionalized microcapsules into MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, as compared to analog control hydrogel microcapsules modified with a corona of nucleic acid duplexes. The effective permeation of the stimuli-responsive, drug-loaded, DNA tetrahedra-modified microcapsules yields drug carriers of superior and selective cytotoxicity toward cancer cells.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a new type of regulated cell death that is of great interest for developing new strategies for treating cancers. This potential is however greatly limited by the low efficiency and selectivity of current strategies to regulate cancer cell pyroptosis. Herein, we report biodegradable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for intracellular delivery of glucose oxidase (GOx) that promotes cascade biocatalysis inside cells and selectively induces cancer cell pyroptosis. We show that the self-assembly of Cu2+ and 4,4'-azobisbenzoic acid along with GOx affords protein-encapsulated GOx@Cu MOF that efficiently delivers GOx into cells. In addition, the tumor-cell-overexpressed NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) can trigger the reduction of 4,4'-azobisbenzoic acid and the degradation of GOx@Cu MOF, releasing GOx to catalyze glucose oxidation and produce excessive hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) intracellularly. Furthermore, released Cu2+ from Cu MOF could be reduced to Cu+ by intracellular glutathione (GSH), promoting Fenton-like reaction with H2O2 to continuously generate a hydroxyl radical that induces cancer cell pyroptosis and prohibits tumor cell growth. We anticipate the strategy of harnessing biodegradable MOFs for protein delivery, and intracellular biocatalysis provides a powerful approach to regulate tumor cell pyroptosis for advanced therapeutic development.

Abstract
Activated fibroblast-like synovial (FLS) cells are regarded as an important target for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment via starvation therapy mediated by glucose oxidase (GOx). However, the hypoxic RA-FLS environment greatly reduces the oxidation process of glucose and leads to a poor therapeutic effect of the GOx-based starvation therapy. In this work, we designed a hollow mesoporous copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs)-based smart GOx/atovaquone (ATO) codelivery system (named as V-HAGC) targeting RA-FLS cells to realize a O2-economized dual energy inhibition strategy to solve the limitation of GOx-based starvation therapy. V-HAGC armed with dual multi-stimuli-responsive "doorkeepers" can guard drugs intelligently. Once under the stimulation of photothermal and acidic conditions at the targeted area, the dual intelligent responsive "doors" would orderly open to realize the controllable release of drugs. Besides, the efficacy of V-HAGC would be much improved by the additional chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) stimulated by CuS NPs. Meanwhile, the upregulated H2O2 and acid levels by starvation therapy would promote the Fenton-like reaction of CuS NPs under O2-economized dual energy inhibition, which could enhance the PTT and CDT efficacy as well. In vitro and in vivo evaluations revealed V-HAGC with much improved efficacy of this combination therapy for RA. In general, the smart V-HAGC based on the O2-economized dual energy inhibition strategy combined with enhanced CDT and PTT has the potential to be an alternative methodology in the treatment of RA.

Abstract
Patulin (PAT) is an unsaturated lactone mycotoxin primarily produced by Penicillium expansum and Aspergillus clavatus. Given the potential health risks and economic losses associated with PAT, the rapid detection of PAT using fluorescent aptasensors is of significant importance in evaluating food safety. However, it easily increases the cost and complexity caused by signal labeling. We combined TCPP/BDC-NH2 mixed ligands functionalized Zr metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFmix) and terminated three-stranded DNA gates (ttsDNA gates) to fabricate a label-free fluorescent aptasensor for PAT detection. The Zr-MOFmix system was synthesized via a one-pot strategy and could be used to address the problem of pore size limitation and increase the loading amounts of dyes. TtsDNA gate was integrated into the Zr-MOFmix system to control the release of dyes, exhibiting a high signal-to-background ratio. The single-stranded aptamer region in ttsDNA gate situated away from the surface of the Zr-MOFmix, resulting in a natural release of dyes in the absence of PAT. While binding to PAT resulted in target-induced conformational changes that helped form the hairpin structure of the aptamer. This structure hindered the release of dyes from the pores of Zr-MOFmix, thus reducing the fluorescence signals intensity. The stimuli-responsive DNA-gated material provides a platform for PAT analysis under conditions of a low limit of detection (0.871 pg/mL). Furthermore, the excellent specificity and anti-interference of the fluorescent aptasensor make the system suitable for the analysis of apple juice samples. This label-free strategy is cheaper and simper compared with labeled detection, especially for the development of multi-target-detection.

Abstract
G-Quadruplexes attract growing interest as functional constituents in biology, chemistry, nanotechnology, and material science. In particular, the reversible dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes provides versatile means to switch DNA nanostructures, reversibly control catalytic functions of DNA assemblies, and switch material properties and functions. The present review article discusses the switchable dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes as central functional and structural motifs that enable diverse applications in DNA nanotechnology and material science. The dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes has a major impact on the development of DNA switches and DNA machines. The integration of G-quadruplexes with enzymes yields supramolecular assemblies exhibiting switchable catalytic functions guided by dynamic G-quadruplex topologies. In addition, G-quadruplexes act as important building blocks to operate constitutional dynamic networks and transient dissipative networks mimicking complex biological dynamic circuitries. Furthermore, the integration of G-quadruplexes with DNA nanostructures, such as origami tiles, introduces dynamic and mechanical features into these static frameworks. Beyond the dynamic operation of G-quadruplex structures in solution, the assembly of G-quadruplexes on bulk surfaces such as electrodes or nanoparticles provides versatile means to engineer diverse electrochemical and photoelectrochemical devices and to switch the dynamic aggregation/deaggregation of nanoparticles, leading to nanoparticle assemblies that reveal switchable optical properties. Finally, the functionalization of hydrogels, hydrogel microcapsules, or nanoparticle carriers, such as SiO2 nanoparticles or metal-organic framework nanoparticles, yields stimuli-responsive materials exhibiting shape-memory, self-healing, and controlled drug release properties. Indeed, G-quadruplex-modified nanomaterials find growing interest in the area of nanomedicine. Beyond the impressive G-quadruplex-based scientific advances achieved to date, exciting future developments are still anticipated. The review addresses these goals by identifying the potential opportunities and challenges ahead of the field in the coming years.

Compared to cisplatin, compound 1 exhibits both anti-inflammatory properties and very remarkable cytotoxicity toward various cancer cell lines with a high value of selectivity index. Additionally, the 3D model representing human pancreas/duct carcinoma (PANC-1) and human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) was designed and applied as a clear proof of the remarkable therapeutic potential of 1. The obtained experimental data indicate that 1 induces an apoptotic pathway via reactive oxygen species generation, targeting mitochondria due to their membrane depolarization. This study broadens a group of bioactive metal-organic networks and highlights the significant potential of such compounds in developing advanced therapeutic solutions.

Abstract
Following transient spatiotemporal misregulation of gene expression programs by native transcription machineries, we introduce a versatile biomimetic concept to design transient dynamic transcription machineries, revealing gated and cascaded temporal transcription of RNAs. The concept is based on the engineering of the reaction module consisting of malachite green (MG) and/or DFHBI {(5Z)-5-[(3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)methylene]-3,5-dihydro-2,3-dimethyl-4H-imidazol-4-one} DNA scaffolds, T7 RNA polymerase (RNAP) aptamer transcription scaffold, and the inhibited T7 RNAP-aptamer complex. In the presence of the counter RNAP aptamer strand and ribonucleoside triphosphates, the triggered activation of the three transcription scaffolds are activated, leading to the transcription of the MG and/or DFHBI RNA aptamer and to the transcription of the RNAP aptamer acting as an autoinhibitor that leads to the transient temporal, dissipative, and blockage of all transcription. By appropriate design of the transcription scaffolds and the inhibitors/coupler, transient gated and cascaded transcription processes are demonstrated, and a bimodal transcription module synthesizing a transient operating ribozyme is introduced.

Abstract
Luminescent organic-inorganic metal halides (OIMHs) are well known as a new materials family in recent years. Novel materials and applications of luminescent OIMHs have been explored by changing either the organic component or the metal halide species. Thereinto, the stimuli-responsive (SR) phenomena in OIMHs have drawn much attention recently, for not only their attractive application potential but also the helpfulness in understanding the stability of OIMHs to the external environment. Herein, the luminescent OIMHs that are sensitive to external stimuli including contact, pressure, mechanical grinding, light, heat, and gas molecules, are reviewed, with an emphasis on analyses of the structural change during the SR process. The applications of SR luminescent OIMHs in widespread fields, including gas sensing, information encryption, and rewritable luminescent paper are summarized. Finally, the challenges that deserve to be further explored in this research field are discussed, which provides certain guidance for the future study of SR luminescent OIMHs.

Abstract
In this study, the flexible aluminum-based MIL-53(Al) metal-organic framework was loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and naproxen (NAP) and was examined as a promising pH/ultrasound dual-responsive drug delivery system. The two drugs were encapsulated in MIL-53(Al) individually to produce
the DOX@MIL-53(Al) and NAP@MIL-53(Al) nanocarriers. They were also encapsulated as a dual-drug formulation to produce the DOX* + NAP*@MIL-53(Al) nanocarrier. The MOF nanoparticles were characterized using the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR), and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) techniques. In the case of the DOX@MIL, the nanocarriers’ drug Encapsulation Efficiency (EE) and Encapsulation Capacity (EC) were 92% and 16 wt.%, respectively, whereas, in the case of NAP@MIL-53(Al), the average NAP EE and EC were
around 97.7% and 8.5 wt.%, respectively. On the other hand, in the DOX* + NAP*@MIL-53(Al) nanoparticles, the average DOX* EE and EC were 38.9% and 6.22 wt.%, respectively, while for NAP*, the average EE and EC were 70.2% and 4.49 wt.%, respectively. In vitro release experiments demonstrated
the good pH and Ultrasound (US) dual-responsiveness of these nanocarriers, with a maximum US-triggered DOX and NAP release, at a pH level of 7.4, of approximately 53% and 95%, respectively. In comparison, the measured release was around 90% and 36% at pH 5.3 for DOX and NAP, respectively.
In the case of the dualdrug formulation, the nanocarrier displayed similar pH/US dual-responsive behavior. Finally, the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) results confirmed the biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity of MIL-53(Al) at concentrations up to 1000
μg/ml.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of porous crystalline materials constructed from organic ligands and metal ions/clusters. Owing to their unique advantages, they have attracted more and more attention in recent years and numerous studies have revealed their great potential in various applications. Many important applications of MOFs inevitably involve harsh alkaline operational environments. To achieve high performance and long cycling life in these applications, high stability of MOFs against bases is necessary. Therefore, the construction of base-stable MOFs has become a critical research direction in the MOF field. This review gives a historic summary of the development of base-stable MOFs in the last few years. The key factors that can determine the robustness of MOFs under basic conditions are analyzed. We also demonstrate the exciting achievements that have been made by utilizing base-stable MOFs in different applications. In the end, we discuss major challenges for the further development of base-stable MOFs. Some possible methods to address these problems are presented.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of Au3+ -modified UiO-67 metal-organic framework nanoparticles, Au3+ -NMOFs, are described. The Au3+ -NMOFs reveal dual oxidase-like and peroxidase-like activities and act as an active catalyst for the catalyzed generation of O2•- under aerobic conditions or •OH in the presence of H2 O2 . The two reactive oxygen species (ROS) agents O2•- and •OH are cooperatively formed by Au3+ -NMOFs under aerobic conditions, and in the presence of H2 O2. The Au3+ -NMOFs are applied as an effective catalyst for the generation ROS agents for antibacterial and wound healing applications. Effective antibacterial cell death and inhibition of cell proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterial colonies are demonstrated in the presence of the Au3+ -NMOFs. In addition, in vivo experiments demonstrate effective wound healing of mice wounds infected by S. aureus, treated by the Au3+ -NMOFs.

Abstract
The utilization of azobenzene-based photoisomerization cannot only control the morphology of supramolecular assemblies, but can also regulate many biological processes. However, the design of azobenzene-involved nanoconstructs with switchable photoluminescence remains challenging because of the light-quenching ability of azobenzene. Herein, an azobenzene-derived multicomponent nanosystem is reported and its function as a supramolecular lanthanide photoswitch is explored. The metal chelation between lanthanide ions (Ln3+ = Eu3+ and Tb3+ ) and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid is utilized as the light-emitting center but its inherent fluorescence emission is completely suppressed via the disordered motion of the adjoining azophenyl unit. Interestingly, the hydrophobic cavity of α-cyclodextrin can provide a confined microenvironment to immobilize the molecular conformation of trans-azobenzene, thus leading to the recovery of characteristic lanthanide luminescence both in aqueous solution and the hydrogel state. Also, the luminescence can be reversibly turned off when the cis-azobenzene is expelled from the cavity of α-cyclodextrin upon alternating light irradiation. This mutual cooperation arising from host-guest complexation and metal-ligand coordination confers the desired photoswitchable luminescence abilities on the commonly used azobenzenes, which may hold great promise in the creation of more advanced light-responsive smart materials.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive materials can respond to external effects, and proton transport is widespread and plays a key role in living systems, making stimuli-responsive proton transport in artificial materials of particular interest to researchers due to its desirable application prospects. On the basis of the rapid growth of proton-conducting porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), switched proton-conducting MOFs have also begun to attract attention. MOFs have advantages in crystallinity, porosity, functionalization, and structural designability, and they can facilitate the fabrication of novel switchable proton conductors and promote an understanding of the comprehensive mechanisms. In this Perspective, we highlight the current progress in the rational design and fabrication of stimuli-responsive proton-conducting MOFs and their applications. The dynamic structural change of proton transfer pathways and the role of trigger molecules are discussed to elucidate the stimuli-responsive mechanisms. Subsequently, we also discuss the challenges and propose new research opportunities for further development.

Abstract
Living systems consist of complex transient cellular networks guiding structural, catalytic, and switchable functions driven by auxiliary triggers, such as chemical or light energy inputs. We introduce two different transient, dissipative, biocatalytic cascades, the coupled glucose oxidase (GOx)/horseradish peroxidase (HRP) glucose-driven oxidation of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS2-) to the radical anion (ABTS•-) and the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) lactate-driven reduction of NAD+ to NADH. The transient biocatalytic systems are driven by nucleic acid reaction modules using a nucleic acid fuel strand L1' and a nicking enzyme, Nt.BbvCI, as fuel-degrading catalyst, leading to the dynamic spatiotemporal transient formation of structurally proximate biocatalysts activating the biocatalytic cascades and transient coupled processes, including the generation of chemiluminescence and the synthesis of alanine. Subjecting the mixture of biocatalysts to selective inhibitors allows the gated transient operation of the biocatalysts. The kinetics of transient biocatalytic cascades are accompanied by kinetic models and computational simulations.

Abstract
Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are appealing for the design of smart responsive materials, whereas aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophores with twisted molecular rotor structure provide exciting opportunities to construct MOFs with new topology and responsiveness. Herein, it is reported that elongating AIE rotor ligands can render the newly formed AIE MOF (ZnETTB) (ETTB = 4',4''',4''''',4'''''''-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl)tetrakis(([1,1'-biphenyl]-3,5-dicarboxylic acid))) with more elasticity, more control for intramolecular motion, and specific amide-sensing capability. ZnETTB shows specific host-guest interaction with amide, where N,N-diethylformamide (DEF), as an example, is anchored through CH···O and CH···π bonds with Zn cluster and ETTB8- ligand, respectively. DEF anchoring reduces both the distortion level and the intramolecular motions of ETTB8- ligand to lead a blueshifted and intensified emission for DEF ∈ ZnETTB. Moreover, amide anchoring also affords the DEF ∈ ZnETTB with the excellent thermofluorochromic behavior, and further increases the piezofluorochromic sensitivity at low-pressure ranges on the basis of its elastic framework. This work is one of the rare examples of amide-responsive smart materials, which shall shed new lights on design of smart MOFs with twisted AIE rotors for further sensing and detection applications.

Abstract
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, strategies related to nanomedicine have been used to overcome the shortcomings of traditional chemotherapy drugs, thereby demonstrating significant potential for innovative drug delivery. Nanomaterials play an increasingly important role in cancer immunotherapy. Stimuli-responsive nanomaterials enable the precise control of drug release through exposure to specific stimuli and exhibit excellent specificity in response to various stimuli. Immunomodulators carried by nanomaterials can also effectively regulate the immune system and significantly improve their therapeutic effect on cancer. In recent years, stimuli-responsive nanomaterials have evolved rapidly from single stimuli-responsive systems to multi-stimuli-responsive systems. This review focuses on recent advances in the design and applications of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials, including exogenous and endogenous responsive nanoscale drug delivery systems, which show extraordinary potential in intelligent drug delivery for multimodal cancer diagnosis and treatment. Ultimately, the opportunities and challenges in the development of intelligent responsive nanomaterials are briefly discussed according to recent advances in multi-stimuli-responsive systems.

Abstract
Excessive glutathione (GSH), which is produced owing to abnormal metabolism of tumor cells, scavenges photo-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and consumes chemotherapeutic drugs, thereby attenuating the efficacy of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy, respectively. Predominant strategies for GSH inhibition involve its chemical depletion, which only leads to a temporary therapeutic effect because GSH is replenished via various compensatory routes in tumor cells. Here, a versatile GSH-inhibiting nanosystem (termed PCNPs) for persistent synergistic therapy of cancer is reported. The porous skeleton of PCNPs allows easy encapsulation of buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) to sustainably suppress the biosynthesis of GSH. Thus, PCNPs not only demonstrate a prolonged release of BSO and improve drug utilization for efficient chemotherapy, but also act as an efficient photo-induced singlet oxygen radical generator that prevents the loss of ROS, thereby enhancing photodynamic therapy. In addition, the liposomal coating prevents cargo release in the blood, improves the accumulation of PCNPs at the tumor site, and promotes the cellular uptake of oxaliplatin and BSO. This strategy is applicable to ROS-based therapy and chemotherapy, which are suppressed by GSH, and may further enhance the synergistic effect of GSH-restrained therapy.

Abstract
Personal glucose meter (PGM) is one of the most commercially available POC (point-of-care) devices for monitoring the level of glucose reliably, yet its non-glucose quantification ability is limited since such strategy needs ingenious interface design and tedious enzyme conjugation. Herein, we constructed a portable and sensitive platform that can detect non-glucose target by combining enzyme-encapsulated zeolitic imidazole framework-90 (ZIF-90) with personal glucose meter. ZIF-90 is an ideal carrier and susceptor due to the extraordinary capability of packaging enzyme and stimuli-responsiveness. We selected adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) as the target model of non-glucose analytes. Upon ATP-induced decomposition of MOF, the released enzyme (glucose oxidase or invertase) catalyzed substrate and gave rise to the change of the glucose concentration for PGM assay. This method determined ATP with a remarkably sensitivity of 233 nM and effective recovery in real serum samples. Our strategy provides a facile and practical approach for measuring the non-glucose target using PGM, and could potentially be applied in bimolecular detection in point-of-care diagnosis.

Abstract
Photoresponsive nucleic acids attract growing interest as functional constituents in materials science. Integration of photoisomerizable units into DNA strands provides an ideal handle for the reversible reconfiguration of nucleic acid architectures by light irradiation, triggering changes in the chemical and structural properties of the nanostructures that can be exploited in the development of photoresponsive functional devices such as machines, origami structures and ion channels, as well as environmentally adaptable 'smart' materials including nanoparticle aggregates and hydrogels. Moreover, photoresponsive DNA components allow control over the composition of dynamic supramolecular ensembles that mimic native networks. Beyond this, the modification of nucleic acids with photosensitizer functionality enables these biopolymers to act as scaffolds for spatial organization of electron transfer reactions mimicking natural photosynthesis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of these exciting developments in the design of photoresponsive DNA materials, and showcases a range of applications in catalysis, sensing and drug delivery/release. The key challenges facing the development of the field in the coming years are addressed, and exciting emergent research directions are identified.

Abstract
Miniaturization is a key aspect of materials science. Owing to the increase in quality experimental and computational tools available to researchers, it has become clear that the crystal size and morphology of porous framework materials, including metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks, play a vital role in defining the physicochemical behaviour of these materials. However, given the multiscale and multidisciplinary challenges associated with establishing how crystal size and morphology affect the structure and behaviour of a material–from local to global structural modifications and from static to dynamic effects–a comprehensive mechanistic understanding of size and morphology effects is missing. Herein, we provide our perspective on the current state-of-the-art of this topic, drawn from various complementary disciplines. From a fundamental point of view, we discuss how controlling the crystal size and morphology can alter the mechanical and adsorption properties of porous framework materials and how this can impact phase stability. Special attention is also given to the quest to develop new computational tools capable of modelling these multiscale effects. From a more applied point of view, given the recent progress in this research field, we highlight the importance of crystal size and morphology control in drug delivery. Moreover, we provide an outlook on how to advance each discussed field by size and morphology control, which would open new design opportunities for functional porous framework materials.

Abstract
Electrochemical nanosensors by integrating functional nucleic acids and nanomaterials hold a great promise in the fast detection of biomarkers, yet the current systems possess limitations on the accessibility of target-probe and probe-electrode interactions and the repeatability of detection. Herein, a host-guest assembly strategy is developed to build redox nanosensors for an immobilization-free and ratiometric electrochemical detection system. Specifically, electroactive molecule (Em ) guests are loaded in porous hosts of polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA) to act as dual-signal redox reporters. Hybrid DNA probes of G-quadruplex and a single-stranded anchor DNA are installed as gatekeepers for sealing the mesopores. Thereby, miRNA triggered Em release by strand displacement reactions and the homogeneous transportation of the hosts/guests to the electrode facilitate the generation of reference signal/response signal at different potentials. Concomitantly applied NIR irradiation boosts the electron transfer from MPDA to the electrode and results in a tenfold increase in the reference signal. Finally, the sensing system through the differential pulse voltammetry method achieves a highly repeatable detection (relative standard deviation 3.8%) of miRNA with a lower detection limit (362 × 10-15 m). This attractive system paves the way for rational designs of advanced electrochemical biosensors and smart diagnosis.

Abstract
Our study aimed to explore the function of circRNA_0001805 in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and the underlying mechanism. A nanodrug system (GA-RM/GZ/PL) was constructed to overexpress circRNA_0001805 specifically in hepatocytes for the treatment of NAFLD. Fat droplet accumulation in cultured cells and mouse hepatic tissues was detected using Oil Red O or H&E staining. The relative expression of circRNAs, genes associated with lipogenesis was quantified by qRT-PCR. Interactions between circRNA_0001805 and miR-106a-5p/miR-320a, between miR-106a-5p/miR-320a and ABCA1/CPT1 were confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. A novel metalorganic framework nanocarrier (GZ) was prepared from glycyrrhizic acid and zinc ions (Zn2+), and this nanocarrier was loaded with the circRNA_0001805 plasmid to construct a nanocore (GZ/PL). Then, this GZ/PL was coated with a galactose-modified RBC membrane (GA-RM) to generate GA-RM/GZ/PL. CircRNA_0001805 expression was downregulated in FFA-challenged primary hepatocytes, HFD-fed mice and NAFLD patients. Overexpressed circRNA_0001805 attenuated NAFLD development by suppressing lipid metabolism disorder and inflammation. CircRNA_0001805 targeted miR-106a-5p/miR-320a, which served as an upstream inhibitor of ABCA1/CPT1 and collaboratively regulated NAFLD progression. GA-RM/GZ/PL targeted hepatocytes, overexpressed circRNA_0001805, released glycyrrhizic acid to reduce the accumulation of lipids in the liver and played a synergistic role against NAFLD-induced lipid metabolism disorder. ![]()

Aptamer-modified DNA tetrahedra-gated metal-organic framework nanoparticle carriers for enhanced chemotherapy or photodynamic therapy. Chem Sci 2021; 12:14473-14483. [PMID: 34880998 PMCID: PMC8580039 DOI: 10.1039/d1sc04229g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
UiO-66 metal-organic framework nanoparticles (NMOFs) gated by aptamer-functionalized DNA tetrahedra provide superior biomarker-responsive hybrid nano-carriers for biomedical applications. Hybrid nano-carriers consisting of ATP-aptamer or VEGF-aptamer functionalized tetrahedra-gated NMOFs are loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin (DOX). In the presence of ATP or VEGF, both abundant in cancer cells, the tetrahedra-gated NMOFs are unlocked to release the drug. Enhanced and selective permeation of the DOX-loaded ATP/VEGF-responsive tetrahedra-gated NMOFs into MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells as compared to the reference ATP/VEGF-responsive duplex-gated NMOFs or non-malignant MCF-10A epithelial breast cells is observed. This results in enhanced and selective cytotoxicity of the tetrahedra-gated DOX-loaded NMOFs toward the malignant cells. Additional nano-carriers, consisting of photosensitizer Zn(ii) protoporphyrin IX (Zn(ii)-PPIX)-loaded VEGF-responsive tetrahedra-gated NMOFs, are introduced. The VEGF-triggered unlocking of the NMOFs yields separated G-quadruplex-VEGF aptamer complexes conjugated to the tetrahedra, resulting in the release of loaded Zn(ii)-PPIX. Association of the released Zn(ii)-PPIX to the G-quadruplex structures generates highly fluorescent supramolecular Zn(ii)-PPIX/G-quadruplex VEGF aptamer-tetrahedra structures. The efficient and selective generation of the highly fluorescent Zn(ii)-PPIX/G-quadruplex VEGF aptamer-tetrahedra nanostructures in malignant cells allows the light-induced photosensitized generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to high-efficacy PDT treatment of the malignant cells.
