[PMID: 33049857 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2020.116952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2020] [Revised: 08/08/2020] [Accepted: 08/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Graphene-based bionanocomposites are employed in several ailments, such as cancers and infectious diseases, due to their large surface area (to carry drugs), photothermal properties, and ease of their functionalization (owing to their active groups). Modification of graphene-derivatives with polysaccharides is a promising strategy to decrease their toxicity and improve target ability, which consequently enhances their biotherapeutic efficacy. Herein, functionalization of graphene-based materials with carbohydrate polymers (e.g., chitosan, starch, alginate, hyaluronic acid, and cellulose) are presented. Subsequently, recent advances in graphene nanomaterial/polysaccharide-based bionanocomposites in infection treatment and cancer therapy are comprehensively discussed. Pharmacogenomic and toxicity assessments for these bionanocomposites are also highlighted to provide insight for future optimized and smart investigations and researches.

Abstract
Traditional techniques for the synthesis of nickel sulfide (NiS) nanoparticles (NPs) always present drawbacks of morphological irregularity, non-porous structure and poor long-term stability, which are extremely unfavorable for establishing effective therapeutic agents. Here, a category of hollow mesoporous NiS (hm-NiS) NPs with uniform spherical structure and good aqueous dispersity were innovatively developed based on a modified solvothermal reaction technique. Upon the successful synthesis of hm-NiS NPs, dopamine was seeded and in situ polymerized into polydopamine (PDA) on the NP surface, followed by functionalization with thiol-polyethylene glycol (SH-PEG) and encapsulation of the chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin (DOX), to form hm-NiS@PDA/PEG/DOX (NiPPD) NPs. The resultant NiPPD NPs exhibited a decent photothermal response and stability, attributed to the optical absorption of the hm-NiS nanocore and PDA layer in the near-infrared (NIR) region. Furthermore, stimulus-responsive drug release was achieved under both acidic pH conditions and NIR laser irradiation, owing to the protonation of -NH2 groups in the DOX molecules and local thermal shock, respectively. Lastly, a strong combinatorial photothermal-chemotherapeutic effect was demonstrated for tumor suppression with minimal systemic toxicity in vivo. Collectively, this state-of-the-art paradigm may provide useful insights to deepen the application of hm-NiS NPs for disease management and precision medicine.

Abstract
As a class of carbon-based nanomaterials, carbon dots (CDs) have attracted enormous attention because of their tunable optical and physicochemical properties, such as absorptivity and photoluminescence from ultraviolet to near-infrared, high photostability, biocompatibility, and aqueous dispersity. These characteristics make CDs a promising alternative photonic nanoagent to conventional fluorophores in disease diagnosis, treatment, and healthcare managements. This review describes the fundamental photophysical properties of CDs and highlights their recent applications to bioimaging, photomedicine (e.g., photodynamic/photothermal therapies), biosensors, and healthcare devices. We discuss current challenges and future prospects of photonic CDs to give an insight into developing vibrant fields of CD-based biomedicine and healthcare.

Abstract
Intelligent drug delivery systems based on nanotechnology have been widely developed and investigated in the field of nanomedicine since they were able to maximize the therapeutic efficacy and minimize the undesirable adverse effects. Among a variety of organic or inorganic nanomaterials available to fabricate drug delivery systems (DDSs) for cancer therapy and diagnosis, poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been extensively employed due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this paper, we review the recent status of research on the application of PLGA-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) in remotely triggered cancer therapy and the strategies for tumor imaging provided by PLGA-based DDSs. We firstly discuss the employment of PLGA-based DDSs for remotely triggered cancer therapy, including photo-triggered, ultrasound-triggered, magnetic field-triggered, and radiofrequency-triggered cancer therapy. Photo-triggered cancer therapy involves photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and photo-triggered chemotherapeutics release. Ultrasound-triggered cancer therapy involves high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment, ultrasound-triggered chemotherapeutics release, and ultrasound-enhanced efficiency of gene transfection. The strategies which endows PLGA-based DDSs with imaging properties and the PLGA-based cancer theranostics are further discussed. Additionally, we also discuss the targeting strategies which provide PLGA-based DDSs with passive, active or magnetic tumor-targeting abilities. Numerous studies cited in our review demonstrate the great potential of PLGA-based DDSs as effective theranostic agent for cancer therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
Aim: To develop a hybrid nanoassembly platform using PEG-chitosan/iron oxide nanoparticles for effective low-power assisted photodynamic/photothermal combination therapy. Materials & methods: The hybrid nanoassemblies (NAs) were firstly fabricated by self-assembling chitosan and iron oxide nanoparticles, following which their surfaces were modified with polyethylene glycolated triphenylphosphine and loaded with methylene blue (MB) photosensitizer. The physical characteristics and phototherapy effects of these NAs were evaluated. Results: The formed MB-loaded NAs could produce both heat and singlet oxygen under low-power near-infrared irradiation, which would damage the cancer cells. Delivered by intravenous injection, the MB-loaded NAs showed high tendency to accumulate at the tumor sites, which would lead to effective cancer treatment under controlled photoexcitation without damaging the normal tissues. Conclusion: The proposed low-power assisted simultaneous photodynamic/photothermal approach effectively improves treatment efficiency and provides safe and precise treatment option.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are one of the most studied nanosystems with great potential for biomedical applications, including cancer therapy. Although some gold-based systems have been described, the use of green and faster methods that allow the control of their properties is of prime importance. Thus, the present study reports a one-minute microwave-assisted synthesis of fucoidan-coated AuNPs with controllable size and high antitumoral activity. The NPs were synthesized using a fucoidan-enriched fraction extracted from Fucus vesiculosus, as the reducing and capping agent. The ensuing monodispersed and spherical NPs exhibit tiny diameters between 5.8 and 13.4 nm for concentrations of fucoidan between 0.5 and 0.05% (w/v), respectively, as excellent colloidal stability in distinct solutions and culture media. Furthermore, the NPs present antitumoral activity against three human tumor cell lines (MNT-1, HepG2, and MG-63), and flow cytometry in combination with dark-field imaging confirmed the cellular uptake of NPs by MG-63 cell line.

Abstract
Microphysiological systems, also known as organ-on-a-chip platforms, show promise for the development of new testing methods that can be more accurate than both conventional two-dimensional cultures and costly animal studies. The development of more intricate microphysiological systems can help to better mimic the human physiology and highlight the systemic effects of different drugs and materials. Nanomaterials are among a technologically important class of materials used for diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring purposes; all of which and can be tested using new organ-on-a-chip systems. In addition, the toxicity of nanomaterials which have entered the body from ambient air or diet can have deleterious effects on various body systems. This in turn can be studied in newly developed microphysiological systems. While organ-on-a-chip models can be useful, they cannot pick up secondary and systemic toxicity. Thus, the utilization of multi-organ-on-a-chip systems for advancing nanotechnology will largely be reflected in the future of drug development, toxicology studies and precision medicine. Various aspects of related studies, current challenges, and future perspectives are discussed in this paper.

Abstract
A key aspect of biochip and biosensor preparation is optimization of the optical or electrochemical techniques that combine high sensitivity and specificity. Among them, optical techniques such as the use of fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles have resulted in dramatic progress in the field of diagnostics due to their range of advantages. We herein report a facile approach for the development of novel fluorescein polymeric nanoparticles (FPNPs) with immobilization of specific biomolecules for application in a highly sensitive optical biosensor. A series of three amphiphilic fluorescein polymers (poly(FMA-r-NAS-r-MA)), comprising hydrophobic fluorescein O-methacrylate (FMA), hydrophilic N-acryloxysuccinimide (NAS), and methacrylic acid (MA) monomers were synthesized through radical polymerization. In an aqueous environment, these fluorescein polymers self-assembled into spherical shaped nanoparticles with a well-defined particle size, narrow particle size distribution, and enhanced fluorescence properties. The bio-immobilization properties of the FPNPs were also tunable by control of the activated N-hydroxysuccinimide ester group in the polymer series. Furthermore, the fluorescence sensitivity of bovine serum albumin detection by the FPNPs indicates that the limit of detection and sensitivity were improved compared to conventional fluorescence dye-labelled proteins. These novel FPNPs therefore represent a suitable technology for disease diagnosis and biomarker detection to ultimately improve the sensitivity of existing analytical methodologies in a facile and cost-effective manner. We report a facile approach for the development of novel fluorescein polymeric nanoparticles (FPNPs) with immobilization of specific biomolecules for application in a highly sensitive optical biosensor.![]()

Abstract
Porphyrin-based molecules are actively studied as dual function theranostics: fluorescence-based imaging for diagnostics and fluorescence-guided therapeutic treatment of cancers. The intrinsic fluorescent and photodynamic properties of the bimodal molecules allows for these theranostic approaches. Several porphyrinoids bearing both hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic units at their periphery have been developed for the aforementioned applications, but better tumor selectivity and high efficacy to destroy tumor cells is always a key setback for their use. Another issue related to their effective clinical use is that, most of these chromophores form aggregates under physiological conditions. Nanomaterials that are known to possess incredible properties that cannot be achieved from their bulk systems can serve as carriers for these chromophores. Porphyrinoids, when conjugated with nanomaterials, can be enabled to perform as multifunctional nanomedicine devices. The integrated properties of these porphyrinoid-nanomaterial conjugated systems make them useful for selective drug delivery, theranostic capabilities, and multimodal bioimaging. This review highlights the use of porphyrins, chlorins, bacteriochlorins, phthalocyanines and naphthalocyanines as well as their multifunctional nanodevices in various biomedical theranostic platforms.

Abstract
Phototheranostics, which combines deep tissue imaging and phototherapy [photodynamic therapy (PDT) and/or photothermal therapy (PTT)] via light irradiation, is a promising strategy to treat tumors. Near-infrared (NIR) cyanine dyes are researched as potential phototheranostics reagents for their excellent photophysical properties. However, the low singlet oxygen generation efficiency of cyanine dyes often leads to inadequate therapeutic efficacy for tumors. Herein, we modified an indocyanine green derivative Cy7 with heavy atom iodine to form a novel NIR dye CyI to improve the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and heat generation while, at the same time, maintain their fluorescence characteristics for in vivo noninvasive imaging. More importantly, in vitro and in vivo therapeutic results illustrated that CyI could quickly and simultaneously generate enhanced ROS and heat to induce more cancer cell apoptosis and higher inhibition rates in deep HepG2 tumors than other noniodinated NIR dyes upon NIR irradiation. Besides, low toxicity of the resulted iodinated NIR dyes was confirmed by in vivo biodistribution and acute toxicity. Results indicate that this low toxic NIR dye could be an ideal phototheranostics agent for deep tumor treatments. Our study presents a novel approach to achieve the fast-synergistic PDT/PTT treatment in deep tissues.

Abstract
The optical imaging guided tumor vessels and vascular malformation visualization by using the second near infrared emission beyond 1500 nm (NIR-II) is emerged as the next generation fluorescence imaging technique for early tumor diagnosis and identification of tumor-associated vascular features. On the other hand, developing theranostic probes for NIR-II imaging guided photothermal therapy (PTT) is of great significance, which is rarely explored. Herein, a high performance theranostic nanoplatform based on the core-shell structured NaLuF4 nanorods@polydopamine (denoted as NRs@PDA) by integrating the new advanced NIR-II imaging beyond 1500 nm with PTT function was developed for tumor-associated vascular malformation visualization and imaging-guided PTT. Methods: In this work, the hydrophilic NaLuF4 NRs@PDA therapeutic probe was synthesized by using a reverse microemulsion method. The crystal phase, morphology, emission spectra and photothermal performance of the synthesized samples were systematically characterized. The NIR-II optical imaging and photothermal properties were investigated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Results: The NaLuF4 NRs@PDA therapeutic probe possessed efficient NIR-II emission centered at 1525 nm with high quantum yield (QY), good photo-stability and high biocompatibility. In vivo NIR-IIb imaging based on the designed probe can clearly visualize the whole-body vessel and brain vessel with high spatial resolution, especially tumor-associated vessels. In addition, in vitro and in vivo experiments also demonstrated that the designed NaLuF4 NRs@PDA probe possessed efficient photothermal conversion efficiency (40.18%) for PTT ablation of tumor. Conclusion: With the excellent NIR-II imaging ability and PTT of tumor, the designed theranostic nanoplatform successfully realize the simultaneous tumor vessel diagnosis and tumor therapy, which may provide the opportunity of designing new theranostic bioprobes with combination of the NIR-II optical imaging technique and PTT function for tumor diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and their derivatives have potential applications in the field of biomedical imaging. Toxicity is one of the critical parameters that can hamper their success in biological applications. In this context, our goal was to systematically investigate both in vivo and in vitro toxicity of nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots (NCQDs). In vivo toxic effects were evaluated for 30 days in Swiss albino mice at two different concentrations (5.0 mg per kg body weight (BW) and 10.0 mg per kg BW) of NCQDs. Results of haematological, serum biochemical, antioxidant and histopathological parameters showed no noteworthy defects at both of these concentrations. An in vitro assessment was performed against the human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa cells) at the concentration of 0-400 μg ml-1. The LDH profile, DNA fragmentation, apoptosis, and growth cycle of cells showed no apparent toxicity of NCQDs. The overall study offers highly biocompatible N-doped carbon quantum dots, which may be considered as an attractive material for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy is achieving ever-increasing attention as a promising method for killing cancer cells. Although, gold nanoparticles are regarded as one of the most effective photothermal therapy agents, the mechanisms underlying their action have to be addressed. Moreover, studies have showed that gold nanoparticles induce apoptosis in treated cultures. Hence, in this study, we investigated the interaction of folic acid functionalized gold nanoparticles and gold-shelled Fe3O4 nanoparticles with microtubule and microtubule associated protein tau in order to introduce intracellular targets of these nanoparticles and provide a holistic view about the mechanism of action of gold nanoparticles used in photothermal therapy. Various spectroscopic methods were used to find gold nanoparticles interaction with Tubulin and Tau. Our results indicated that these gold nanoparticles interact with both Tau and Tubulin and their affinity increases as temperature rises. Also, the results illustrated that quenching mechanism for gold nanoparticles interaction with Tubulin and Tau was static. The hydrophobic interaction was determined as driving force for gold nanoparticles binding to Tubulin and Tau. Moreover, it was showed that both type of gold nanoparticles stabilize microtubule polymers. These results suggest Tau and Tubulin as intracellular target of gold nanoparticles and propose that microtubule network is at the heart of apoptosis mechanisms initiated by photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Pathogenic free-living amoebae including Acanthamoeba spp., Balamuthia mandrillaris, and Naegleria fowleri cause infections of the central nervous system (CNS), which almost always prove fatal. The mortality rate is high with the CNS infections caused by these microbes despite modern developments in healthcare and antimicrobial chemotherapy. The low awareness, delayed diagnosis, and lack of effective drugs are major hurdles to overcome these challenges. Nanomaterials have emerged as vital tools for concurrent diagnosis and therapy, which are commonly referred to as theranostics. Nanomaterials offer highly sensitive diagnostic systems and viable therapeutic effects as a single modality. There has been good progress to develop nanomaterials based efficient theranostic systems against numerous kinds of tumors, but this field is yet immature in the context of infectious diseases, particularly parasitic infections. Herein, we describe the potential value of theranostic applications of nanomaterials against brain infections due to pathogenic amoebae.

Abstract
During the last decades, neuroscientists have increasingly exploited a variety of artificial, de-novo synthesized materials with controlled nano-sized features. For instance, a renewed interest in the development of prostheses or neural interfaces was driven by the availability of novel nanomaterials that enabled the fabrication of implantable bioelectronics interfaces with reduced side effects and increased integration with the target biological tissue. The peculiar physical-chemical properties of nanomaterials have also contributed to the engineering of novel imaging devices toward sophisticated experimental settings, to smart fabricated scaffolds and microelectrodes, or other tools ultimately aimed at a better understanding of neural tissue functions. In this review, we focus on nanomaterials and specifically on carbon-based nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene. While these materials raise potential safety concerns, they represent a tremendous technological opportunity for the restoration of neuronal functions. We then describe nanotools such as nanowires and nano-modified MEA for high-performance electrophysiological recording and stimulation of neuronal electrical activity. We finally focus on the fabrication of three-dimensional synthetic nanostructures, used as substrates to interface biological cells and tissues in vitro and in vivo.

Biosynthesized composites of Au-Ag nanoparticles using Trapa peel extract induced ROS-mediated p53 independent apoptosis in cancer cells. Drug Chem Toxicol 2019; 42:43-53. [PMID: 29842822 DOI: 10.1080/01480545.2018.1463241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2018] [Revised: 04/05/2018] [Accepted: 04/06/2018] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
The current study highlights rapid, sustainable, and cost-effective biosynthesis of silver (Ag), gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs), and bimetallic Au-AgNPs composites using bio-waste extract of Trapa natans. Growth of the NPs was monitored spectrophotometrically and peak was observed at ∼525 nm, ∼450 nm, and ∼495 nm corresponding to Plasmon absorbance of AuNPs, AgNPs, and Au-AgNPs, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the size of AgNPs (∼15 nm), AuNPs (∼25 nm), and Au-AgNPs (∼26-90 nm). Synthesized NPs follow the Gaussian bell curve and its crystalline nature was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, Au-AgNPs induced cytotoxicity in various cancer cells (HCT116, MDA-MB-231, and HeLa) effectively at 200 μg/mL. Au-AgNPs-exposed cancer cells exhibited apoptotic features such as nuclear condensation, mitochondrial membrane potential loss, and cleavage of casp-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP). Au-AgNPs exposure enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and upon inhibition of ROS, apoptosis was reduced effectively. NPs treatment killed HCT116 WT and p53 knockout cells without any significant difference. Mechanistically, Au-AgNPs derived with Trapa peel extract significantly enhance ROS which trigger p53-independent apoptosis in various cancer cells effectively. Our study explores the use of bio-waste for the green synthesis of NPs, which can be attractive candidates for cancer therapy.

J Nanobiotechnology 2018; 16:104. [PMID: 30572896 PMCID: PMC6300922 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-018-0432-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2018] [Accepted: 12/10/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, a combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and heat to kill cancer cells, respectively has attracted considerable attention because it gives synergistic effects on the cancer treatment by utilizing the radiation of nontoxic low-energy photons such as long wavelength visible light and near IR (NIR) penetrating into subcutaneous region. For the effective combination of the phototherapies, various organic photosensitizer-conjugated gold nanocomplexes have been developed, but they have still some disadvantages due to photobleaching and unnecessary energy transfer of the organic photosensitizers. RESULTS In this study, we fabricated novel inorganic phototherapeutic nanocomplexes (Au NR-TiO2 NCs) by conjugating gold nanorods (Au NRs) with defective TiO2 nanoparticle clusters (d-TiO2 NP clusters) and characterized their optical and photothermal properties. They were observed to absorb a broad range of visible light and near IR (NIR) from 500 to 1000 nm, exhibiting the generation of ROS as well as the photothermal effect for the simultaneous application of PDT and PTT. The resultant combination of PDT and PTT treatments of HeLa cells incubated with the nanocomplexes caused a synergistic increase in the cell death compared to the single treatment. CONCLUSION The higher efficacy of cell death by the combination of PDT and PTT treatments with the nanocomplexes is likely attributed to the increases of ROS generation from the TiO2 NCs with the aid of local surface plasma resonance (LSPR)-induced hot electrons and heat generation from Au NRs, suggesting that Au NR-TiO2 NCs are promising nanomaterials for the in vivo combinatorial phototherapy of cancer.

Abstract
Second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence bioimaging has attracted tremendous scientific interest and already been used in many biomedical studies. However, reports on organic NIR-II fluorescent probes for in vivo photoinduced imaging and simultaneous therapy, as well as the long-term tracing of specific biological objects, are still very rare. Herein we designed a single-molecular and NIR-II-emissive theranostic system by encapsulating a kind of aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen, named BPN-BBTD) with amphiphilic polymer. The ultra-stable BPN-BBTD nanoparticles were employed for the NIR-II fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy of bladder tumors in vivo. The 785 nm excitation triggered photothermal therapy could completely eradicate the subcutaneous tumor and inhibit the growth of orthotopic tumors. Furthermore, BPN-BBTD nanoparticles were capable of monitoring subcutaneous and orthotopic tumors for a long time (32 days). Single-molecular and NIR-II-emitted aggregation-induced emission nanoparticles hold potential for the diagnosis, precise treatment, and metastasis monitoring of tumors in the future.

Abstract
Recent studies show that Janus Fe3 O4 -TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) have potential applications as a multifunctional agent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the diagnosis and therapy of cancer. However, little work has been done on their biological effects. To evaluate the toxicity and underlying molecular mechanisms of Janus Fe3 O4 -TiO2 nanoparticles, an in vitro study using a human liver cell line HL-7702 cells was conducted. For comparison, the Janus Fe3 O4 -TiO2 NPs parent material TiO2 NPs was also evaluated. Results showed that both Fe3 O4 -TiO2 NPs and TiO2 NPs decreased cell viability and ATP levels when applied in treatment, but increased malonaldehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Mitochondria JC-1 staining assay showed that mitochondrial membrane permeability injury occurred in both NPs treated cells. Cell viability analysis showed that TiO2 NPs induced slightly higher cytotoxicity than Fe3 O4 -TiO2 NPs in HL7702 cells. Western blotting indicated that both TiO2 NPs and Fe3 O4 -TiO2 NPs could induce apoptosis, inflammation, and carcinogenesis related signal protein alterations. Comparatively, Fe3 O4 -TiO2 NPs induced higher signal protein expressions than TiO2 NPs under a high treatment dose. However, under a low dose (6.25 μg/cm2 ), neither NPs had any significant toxicity on HL7702 cells. In addition, our results suggest both Fe3 O4 -TiO2 NPs and TiO2 NPs could induce oxidative stress and have a potential carcinogenetic effect in vitro. Further studies are needed to elaborate the detailed mechanisms of toxicity induced by a high dose of Fe3 O4 -TiO2 NPs.

Abstract
Microbubbles and nanobubbles (MNBs) can be prepared using various shells, such as phospholipids, polymers, proteins, and surfactants. MNBs contain gas cores due to which they are echogenic and can be used as contrast agents for ultrasonic and photoacoustic imaging. These bubbles can be engineered in various sizes as vehicles for gas and drug delivery applications with novel properties and flexible structures. Hypoxic areas in tumors develop owing to an imbalance of oxygen supply and demand. In tumors, hypoxic regions have shown more resistance to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and photodynamic therapies. The efficacy of photodynamic therapy depends on the effective accumulation of photosensitizer drug in tumors and the availability of oxygen in the tumor to generate reactive oxygen species. MNBs have been shown to reverse hypoxic conditions, degradation of hypoxia inducible factor 1α protein, and increase tissue oxygen levels. This review summarizes the synthesis methods and shell compositions of micro/nanobubbles and methods deployed for oxygen delivery. Methods of functionalization of MNBs, their ability to deliver oxygen and drugs, incorporation of photosensitizers and potential application of photo-triggered theranostics, have also been discussed.

Abstract
Autophagy is a conservative eukaryotic pathway which plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, and dysfunction of autophagy is usually associated with pathological conditions. Recently, emerging reports have stressed that various types of nanomaterials and therapeutic approaches interfere with cellular autophagy process, which has brought up concerns to their future biomedical applications. Here, we present a study elaborating the relationships between autophagy and iron oxide nanoparticle (IONP)-mediated photothermal therapy in cancer treatment. Our results reveal that IONP photothermal effect could lead to autophagy induction in cancerous MCF-7 cells in a laser dose-dependent manner, and the inhibition of autophagy would enhance the photothermal cell killing by increasing cell apoptosis. In an MCF-7 xenograft model, cotreatment of autophagy inhibitor and IONP under laser exposure could promote the tumor inhibition rate from 43.26 to 68.56%, and the tumor immunohistochemistry assay of microtubule-associated protein 1-light chain 3 (LC3) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling also demonstrate augmentation in both autophagosomes accumulation and apoptosis in vivo. This work helps us to better understand the regulation of autophagy during IONP-mediated photothermal therapy and provides us with a potential combination therapeutic approach of autophagy modulators and photothermal agents.

Abstract
The application of nanotechnology for the treatment of cancer is mostly based on early tumor detection and diagnosis by nanodevices capable of selective targeting and delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs to the specific tumor site. Due to the remarkable properties of gold nanoparticles, they have long been considered as a potential tool for diagnosis of various cancers and for drug delivery applications. These properties include high surface area to volume ratio, surface plasmon resonance, surface chemistry and multi-functionalization, facile synthesis, and stable nature. Moreover, the non-toxic and non-immunogenic nature of gold nanoparticles and the high permeability and retention effect provide additional benefits by enabling easy penetration and accumulation of drugs at the tumor sites. Various innovative approaches with gold nanoparticles are under development. In this review, we provide an overview of recent progress made in the application of gold nanoparticles in the treatment of cancer by tumor detection, drug delivery, imaging, photothermal and photodynamic therapy and their current limitations in terms of bioavailability and the fate of the nanoparticles.

Abstract
According to recent research, nanotechnology based on quantum dots (QDs) has been widely applied in the field of bioimaging, drug delivery, and drug analysis. Therefore, it has become one of the major forces driving basic and applied research. The application of nanotechnology in bioimaging has been of concern. Through in vitro labeling, it was found that luminescent QDs possess many properties such as narrow emission, broad UV excitation, bright fluorescence, and high photostability. The QDs also show great potential in whole-body imaging. The QDs can be combined with biomolecules, and hence, they can be used for targeted drug delivery and diagnosis. The characteristics of QDs make them useful for application in pharmacy and pharmacology. This review focuses on various applications of QDs, especially in imaging, drug delivery, pharmaceutical analysis, photothermal therapy, biochips, and targeted surgery. Finally, conclusions are made by providing some critical challenges and a perspective of how this field can be expected to develop in the future. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Quantum dots (QDs) is an emerging field of interdisciplinary subject that involves physics, chemistry, materialogy, biology, medicine, and so on.

Abstract
Phototheranostics, which simultaneously combines photodynamic and/or photothermal therapy with deep-tissue diagnostic imaging, is a promising strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers. Organic dyes with the merits of strong near-infrared absorbance, high photo-to-radical and/or photothermal conversion efficiency, great biocompatibility, ready chemical structure fine-tuning capability, and easy metabolism, have been demonstrated as attractive candidates for clinical phototheranostics. These organic dyes can be further designed and fabricated into nanoparticles (NPs) using various strategies. Compared to free molecules, these NPs can be equipped with multiple synergistic functions and show longer lifetime in blood circulation and passive tumor-targeting property via the enhanced permeability and retention effect. In this article, the recent progress of organic dye-based NPs for cancer phototheranostic applications is summarized, which extends the anticancer arsenal and holds promise for clinical uses in the near future.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as one of the promising cancer therapy approaches. However, nanoparticles (NPs) which are used for PTT might be biopersistent and potentially toxic. The current research explores the promising use of Fe3O4 nanoflowers as nontoxic, efficient photothermal, and strong T2 type magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for imaging-guided photothermal cancer therapy. In this study, a facile solvothermal method is used to fabricate PEG-coated Fe3O4 nanoflowers with controllable dimensions. Their successful fabrication, the effect of the reaction parameters, and their magnetic properties are investigated in depth. The therapeutic performance of the Fe3O4 nanoflowers (Fe-NFs) is evaluated and compared with commercially available black TiO2 nanoparticles (b-TiO2) under an 808 nm laser. The photothermal therapy efficiency of the Fe-NFs is observed to be better than that of the reported Fe3O4 nanoparticles. In vitro and in vivo investigation demonstrates that the therapeutic performance of the Fe-NFs is comparable to that of b-TiO2. Moreover, the Fe-NFs show excellent magnetic properties and magnetic resonance imaging capability to monitor therapeutic performance.

Abstract
A folic acid targeted mixed micelle system based on co-assembly of poly(ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(methoxytri(ethylene glycol) methacrylate-co-N-(2-methacrylamido)ethyl folatic amide) and poly(ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(diethylene glycol monomethyl ether methacrylate) is developed to encapsulate indocyanine green (ICG) for photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy. In this study, the use of folic acid is not only for specific cancer cell recognition, but also in virtue of the carboxylic acid on folic acid to regulate the pH-dependent thermal phase transition of polymeric micelles for controlled drug release. The prepared ICG-loaded mixed micelles possess several superior properties such as a preferable thermoresponsive behavior, excellent storage stability, and good local hyperthermia and reactive oxygen species generation under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. The photototoxicity induced by the ICG-loaded micelles has efficiently suppressed the growth of HeLa cells (folate receptor positive cells) under NIR irradiation compared to that of HT-29, which has low folate receptor expression. Hence, this new type of mixed micelles with excellent features could be a promising delivery system for controlled drug release, effective cancer cell targeting, and photoactivated therapy.

Abstract
A new kind of fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs) is obtained using quatsomes (QSs), a family of nanovesicles proposed as scaffolds for the nanostructuration of commercial lipophilic carbocyanines (1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-indocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI), 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-indodicarbocyanine perchlorate (DiD), and 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-indotricarbocyanine iodide (DiR)) in aqueous media. The obtained FONs, prepared by a CO2 -based technology, show excellent colloidal- and photostability, outperforming other nanoformulations of the dyes, and improve the optical properties of the fluorophores in water. Molecular dynamics simulations provide an atomistic picture of the disposition of the dyes within the membrane. The potential of QSs for biological imaging is demonstrated by performing superresolution microscopy of the DiI-loaded vesicles in vitro and in cells. Therefore, fluorescent QSs constitute an appealing nanomaterial for bioimaging applications.

Abstract
A combination of chemo- and photo-thermal therapy (PTT) has provided a promising efficient approach for cancer therapy. To achieve the superior synergistic chemotherapeutic effect with PTT, the development of a simple theranostic nanoplatform that can provide both cancer imaging and a spatial-temporal synchronism of both therapeutic approaches are highly desired. Our previous study has demonstrated that near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered biodegradable chitosan-based amphiphilic block copolymer micelles (SNSC) containing light-sensitive 2-nitrobenzyl alcohol and NIR dye cypate on the hydrophobic block could be used for fast light-triggered drug release. In this study, we conjugated the SNSC micelles with tumor targeting ligand c(RGDyK) and also encapsulated antitumor drug Paclitaxel (PTX). The results show that c(RGDyK)-modified micelles could enhance the targeting and residence time in tumor site, as well as be capable performing high temperature response for PTT on cancer cells and two-photon photolysis for fast release of anticancer drugs under NIR irradiation. In vitro release profiles show a significant controlled release effort that the release concentration of PTX from micelles was significantly increased with the exposure of NIR light. In vitro and in vivo antitumor studies demonstrate that, compared with chemo or PTT treatment alone, the combined treatment with the local exposure of NIR light exhibited significantly enhanced anti-tumor efficiency. These findings indicate that this system exhibited great potential in tumor-targeting imaging and synchronous chemo- and photo-thermal therapy.

Abstract
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), as a promising and minimally invasive therapeutic modality against various solid tumors, has received considerable attention in the biomedical field. However, both the accuracy and efficacy of this technique are currently unsatisfactory. Herein, a nanometer-sized organic/inorganic hybrid enhancement agent for photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided HIFU therapy was designed and fabricated by concurrently encapsulating both Cu2−xS nanodots (NDs) and perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) into a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) PLGA nanocapsule (denoted CPPNs). These nanocapsules assumed a unique core/satellite/shell sandwich structure, and combined the merits of small and uniform particle size (about 120 nm), favorable biosafety, and multifunctional theranostic ability into one system. The high performance of Cu2−xS NDs in the absorption and conversion of near infrared laser confers high PAI contrast capability to the CPPNs, by which the location of the CPPNs within a tumor can be monitored successfully under PAI. Furthermore, our in vitro and in vivo results confirmed that the encapsulated PFOB in CPPNs increased the cavitation effect and thus enhanced the ablation efficacy under HIFU exposure. CPPNs show great potential as an efficient and powerful theranostic agent for future PAI-guided HIFU synergistic therapy. A nanometer-sized inor-ganic/organic hybrid enhancement agent is constructed for photoacoustic imaging-guided high intensity focused ultrasound therapy.![]()
