Abstract
Multifunctional theranostic nanoplatforms (NPs) in response to environment stimulations for on-demand drug release are highly desirable. Herein, the near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing dye, indocyanine green (ICG), and the antitumor drug, doxorubicin (DOX), were efficiently coencapsulated into the thermosensitive liposomes based on natural phase-change material. Folate and conjugated gadolinium (Gd) chelate-modified liposome shells enhance active targeting and magnetic resonance performance of the NPs while maintaining the size of the NPs. The ICG/DOX-loaded and gadolinium chelate conjugated temperature-sensitive liposome nanoplatforms (ID@TSL-Gd NPs) exhibited NIR-triggered drug release and prominent chemo-, photothermal, and photodynamic therapy properties. With the coencapsulated ICG, DOX, and the conjugated gadolinium chelates, the ID@TSL-Gd NPs can be used for triple-modal imaging (fluorescence/photoacoustic/magnetic resonance imaging)-guided combination tumor therapy (chemotherapy, photothermotherapy, and photodynamic therapy). After tail vein injection, the ID@TSL-Gd NPs accumulated effectively in subcutaneous HeLa tumor of mice. The tumor was effectively suppressed by accurate imaging-guided NIR-triggered phototherapy and chemotherapy, and no tumor regression and side effects were observed. In summary, the prepared ID@TSL-Gd NPs achieved multimodal imaging-guided cancer combination therapy, providing a promising platform for improving diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Controlling the outgrowth of neurites is important for enhancing the repair of injured nerves and understanding the development of nervous systems. Herein we report a simple strategy for enhancing the outgrowth of neurites through a unique integration of topographical guidance and a chemical cue. We use electrospray to easily functionalize the surface of a substrate with microparticles of natural fatty acids at a controllable density. Through a synergistic effect from the surface roughness arising from the microparticles and the chemical cue offered by the fatty acids, the outgrowth of neurites from PC12 cells is greatly enhanced. We also functionalize the surfaces of uniaxially aligned, electrospun microfibers with the microparticles and further demonstrate that the substrates can guide and enhance directional outgrowth of neurites from both PC12 multicellular spheroids and chick embryonic dorsal root ganglia bodies.

Abstract
Development of theranostic probes that can be used to identify tumors and direct the on-demand drug administration to cancers is ongoing but remains challenging. Herein, we report a theranostic platform composed of a H2S-activated imaging probe and a light-sensitive drug. The designed probe affords advantages of H2S-activated NIR emission light-up and efficient 1O2 generation, enabling the selective visualization of H2S-rich cancers and the subsequent imaging-directed on-demand light exposure to the detected cancers while leaving normal tissues untouched. Such controllable administration of photodynamic anticancer therapy maximizes the therapeutic efficiency and minimizes side effects. This work should facilitate significant advances toward precise diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Calcium ion (Ca2+ ), an abundant species in the body, is a potential therapeutic ion with manageable side effects. However, the delivery of such a highly charged species represents a great challenge. Here, a nanosystem based on Au nanocages (AuNCs) and a phase-change material (PCM) for delivering calcium chloride (CaCl2 ) into cancer cells and thereby triggering cell death upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation is demonstrated. In the absence of NIR irradiation, the nanosystem, denoted CaCl2 -PCM-AuNC, shows negligible cytotoxicity because the Ca2+ ions are fully encapsulated in a solid matrix. Upon NIR irradiation, the Ca2+ ions are swiftly released due to the melting of PCM matrix in response to photothermal heating. The sudden increase in intracellular Ca2+ causes disruption to the mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis and thus the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, subsequently resulting in cell apoptosis. This nanosystem provides a new method for cancer treatment by tightly managing the intracellular concentration of a physiologically essential element.

Abstract
A combination of photothermal-chemotherapy has received widespread attention in drug delivery systems for cancer treatment. However, the combination therapy operated in subcellular organelles, such as mitochondria, has been rarely reported. Herein, we designed a novel near-infrared (NIR) triggered dual-targeted nanoplatform (FA/TPP-DINPs) based on mitochondrial combined photothermal-chemotherapy by co-loading FDA-approved NIR dye indocyanine green (ICG) and anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). The resulting nanoparticles showed a monodispersed sphere and excellent colloidal stability. Specially, the simultaneous introduction of targeted ligands folic acid (FA) and triphenylphosphine (TPP) to nanoparticles significantly promoted the cellular internalization and mitochondrial co-localization of nanoparticles. Moreover, the encapsulated dye could convert NIR light into heat with high efficiency, which makes the FA/TPP-DINPs an effective platform for mitochondrial combination therapy with chemotherapy drug DOX. Meanwhile, the thermal expansion in response to the change of temperature after sustained 808 nm laser irradiation could cause the disintegration of nanoparticles, which triggered the rapid release of DOX from nanoparticles. As expected, the prepared FA/TPP-DINPs exhibited evidently enhanced cytotoxicity and preeminent combination therapy efficiency on MCF-7 cells. Thus, the NIR triggered dual-targeted nanoplatform provides a new drug delivery strategy for mitochondrial combined photothermal-chemotherapy of cancer.

Abstract
We report a method based on interfacial, anti-solvent-induced precipitation in a fluidic device for the continuous and scalable processing of phase-change materials (PCMs) into uniform nanoparticles with controlled diameters in the range of 10-100 nm. A eutectic mixture of lauric acid and stearic acid, with a well-defined melting point at 39 °C, serves as an example to demonstrate the concept. In the fluidic device, a coaxial flow is created by introducing a PCM solution in ethanol and a lipid solution in water (the anti-solvent) as the focused and focusing phases, respectively. The formation of lipid-capped PCM nanoparticles is governed by diffusion-controlled mixing of ethanol and water. During the production, both doxorubicin (DOX, an anticancer drug) and indocyanine green (ICG, a near-infrared dye) can be readily loaded into the PCM nanoparticles to give a smart drug release system. Upon irradiation with near-infrared light, the photothermal heating caused by ICG can melt the PCM and thereby trigger the release of DOX. This work not only provides a new technique for the continuous processing of PCMs and other soft materials into uniform nanoparticles with controlled sizes but also demonstrates a biocompatible system for controlled release and related applications.

Abstract
Development of stimuli-responsive theranostics is of great importance for precise cancer diagnosis and treatment. Herein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) modified bismuth nanoraspberries (Bi-BSA NRs) are developed as cancer theranostic agents for multimodal imaging and chemo-photothermal combination therapy. The Bi-BSA NRs are synthesized in aqueous phase via a facile reduction method using Bi2O3 nanospheres as the sacrificial template. The morphology, biocompatibility, photothermal effect, drug loading/releasing abilities, chemotherapy effect, synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy efficacy, and multimodal imaging capacities of Bi-BSA NRs have been investigated. The results show that the NRs possess multiple unique features including (i) raspberry-like morphology with high specific surface area (∼52.24 m2·g-1) and large cavity (total pore volume ∼0.30 cm3·g-1), promising high drug loading capacity (∼69 wt %); (ii) dual-stimuli responsive drug release, triggered by acidic pH and NIR laser irradiation; (iii) infrared thermal (IRT), photoacoustic (PA) and X-ray computed tomography (CT) trimodality imaging with the CT contrast enhanced efficiency as high as ∼66.7 HU·mL·mg-1; (iv) 100% tumor elimination through the combination chemo-photothermal therapy. Our work highlights the great potentials of Bi-BSA NRs as a versatile theranostics for multimodal imaging and combination therapy.

Abstract
Hypoxia tumor microenvironment is a major challenge for photodynamical therapy (PDT), and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy combined PDT could be promising for enhanced anticancer therapy. In this study, we report an innovative 2-nitroimidazole derivative conjugated polyethylene glycol (PEG) amphoteric polymer theranostic liposome encapsulated a photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6), hypoxia-activated prodrug Tirapazamine (TPZ) and gene probe for synergistic photodynamic-chemotherapy. Ce6-mediated PDT upon irradiation with a laser induces hypoxia, which leads to the disassembly of the liposome and activates the antitumor activity of TPZ for improved cancer cell-killing. The released co-delivered gene probe could effectively detect the oncogenic intracellular biomarker for diagnosis. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated the greatly improved anti-cancer activity compared to conventional PDT. This work contributes to the design of hypoxia-responsive multifunctional liposome for tumor diagnosis and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy combined PDT for synergetic therapy, which holds great promise for future cancer therapy.

Abstract
Functionalized-nanoparticles have been developed as novel therapeutic delivery platform for simultaneous drug loading and therapy over the past decade. Rationally-designed biocompatible nanosystem simultaneously with multistimuli-responsive property and synergistic therapeutic potential are highly desirable for modern biological applications. Herein, Cu2Se nanoparticles (Cu2SeNPs) with suitable size have been functionalized by bull serum albumin (BSA) through a simply, facile and controllable method. As a result, Cu2SeNPs modified by BSA (BSA-Cu2SeNPs) showed excellent biocompatibility and stability. The strong absorbance of BSA-Cu2SeNPs at near infrared region imparts them with high photothermal efficiency. Then loading doxorubicin (DOX, anticancer drug) on the surface of BSA-Cu2SeNPs, and consequently, a novel multifunctional nanosystem of BSA-Cu2SeNPs-DOX is designed. The BSA-Cu2SeNPs can achieve high DOX loading capacity (approximately 157 μg DOX per mg of Cu2Se). Furthermore, a rational and precise release of DOX from the BSA-Cu2SeNPs-DOX could be easily realized under the stimulates of the pH and temperature, which remarkably improved antitumor efficacy of combined chemotherapy and photothermal therapy triggered by 808 nm NIR laser. Thus, the BSA-Cu2SeNPs-DOX could serve as an ideal nanoplatform for cancer diagnosis and treatment in future. The results of cell experiments show that the BSA-Cu2SeNPs-DOX exhibited favorable selective cellular uptake cells. Under the NIR laser irradiation, BSA-Cu2SeNPs-DOX could induce the excessive expression of ROS, eventually leading to the death of U251 cells. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments indicate that the nanosystem of BSA-Cu2SeNPs-DOX showed excellent synergistic therapeutic effect and multistimuli-responsive drug vehicle, which will exert huge potential for future clinical application.

[PMID: 30128039 PMCID: PMC6096383 DOI: 10.7150/thno.26195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 60] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2018] [Accepted: 06/20/2018] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Chemo-photothermal therapy shows great potential for inhibiting tumor growth. However, achieving maximal chemo-photothermal synergistic efficacy is challenging because of the low efficiency of controllable chemo-drug release in response to external or internal triggers. Thus, a nano-delivery system that could effectively achieve photothermal therapy and dual stimuli-responsive (heat and pH) drug release to inhibit both primary breast tumor growth and metastases is required. Methods: Herein, a thermo- and pH-responsive polymer (mPEG-PAAV) with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) was synthesized to fabricate a DOX- and IR780-loaded micellar system. After systematic studies of the photothermal performance and controllable drug release of mPEG-PAAV micelles/IR780+DOX under NIR irradiation at different pH values, their chemo-photothermal synergetic therapy efficacies were also estimated both in in vitro and in vivo. Results: Because of the photothermal conversion of mPEG-PAAV micelle/IR780+DOX (~200 nm, 3.82 mV), high local temperature could be induced at the tumor site under NIR laser irradiation. This hyperthermia not only produced an enhanced tumor necrosis, but also broke down the micelles under the decreased pH environment, resulting in rapid DOX release and enhanced intracellular drug accumulation after NIR laser irradiation. In addition, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) of mPEG-PAAV/IR780+DOX micelle was adopted to monitor the morphology and micro-vascular distribution of the tumor tissue, which could also guide the chemo-photothermal therapy. Most importantly, the systemic administration of mPEG-PAAV micelles/IR780+DOX combined with NIR laser irradiation could simultaneously eliminate the 4T1 breast tumor and thoroughly suppress lung metastasis without any obvious adverse effects. Conclusion: Herein, a pH- and thermo-dual responsive UCST micelle system was developed for delivering IR780 and DOX, which could achieve NIR laser-controlled drug release and PA imaging guidance for chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy of both primary breast tumors and their metastases.

Abstract
Structural heterogeneity and the lack of in vivo real-time tracking of drug release are the utmost barriers for nanocarrier-mediated prodrugs in targeted therapy. Herein, we describe the strategy of molecularly precise self-assembly of monodisperse nanotheranostics for BP n -DCM-S-CPT (n = 0, 5 and 20) with fixed drug loadings (36%, 23% and 16%) and constant release capacities, permitting in vivo real-time targeted therapy. We focus on regulating the hydrophilic fragment length to construct stable, well-defined nanostructured assemblies. Taking the bis-condensed dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran (DCM) derivative as the activatable near-infrared (NIR) fluorophore, it makes full use of two terminal conjunctions: the hydrophobic disulfide-bridged anticancer prodrug camptothecin (CPT) and the hydrophilic oligomer-bridged biotin segment serving as an active targeting unit. From the rational design, only BP20-DCM-S-CPT forms uniform and highly stable self-assemblies (ca. 80 nm, critical micelle concentration = 1.52 μM) with several advantages, such as structural homogeneity, fixed drug loading efficiency, real-time drug release tracking and synergistic targeting (passive, active and activatable ability). More importantly, in vitro and in vivo experiments verify that the surface-grafted biotins of nanoassemblies are directly exposed to receptors on cancer cells, thus markedly facilitating cellular internalization. Notably, through synergistic targeting, BP20-DCM-S-CPT displays excellent tumor-specific drug release performance in HeLa tumor-bearing nude mice, which has significantly enhanced in vivo antitumor activity and nearly eradicates the tumor (IRT = 99.7%) with few side effects. For the first time, the specific molecularly precise self-assembly of BP20-DCM-S-CPT within a single-molecular framework has successfully achieved a single reproducible entity for real-time reporting of drug release and cancer therapeutic efficacy in living animals, providing a new insight into amphiphilic nanotheranostics for clinical translation.

Abstract
The penetration of nanomedicine into solid tumor still constitutes a great challenge for cancer therapy, which lead to the failure of thorough clearance of tumor cells. Aiming at solving this issue, lots of encouraging progress has been made in the development of multistage nanoparticles triggered by various stimuli in the past few years. Besides, the therapeutical effects of nanoagents are also greatly impacted by the complex tumor microenvironment, and remodeling tumor microenvironment has become another important approach for promoting nanoparticles penetration. In this review, we summarize and analyze recent research progress and challenges in promoting nanoparticle penetration based on two kinds of different strategies, which include size shrinkable nanoparticles and priming tumor microenvironments. Especially, many recent reported multi-strategy approaches based on particle size reduction in conjugated with other therapeutic strategies are discussed. And we expect to provide some useful enlightenments and proposals on nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems for more effective therapy of solid tumors.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR)-light-controlled drug release has aroused great interest because of its advantages in spatiotemporal control. Herein, a photothermally induced morphology transition of the nanoparticles (NPs) for supersensitive drug release has been demonstrated. Doxorubicin (DOX)- and cyanine (Cy)-coloaded thermosensitive poly(ether amine) NPs (DOX&Cy@PEA81) were developed. Because of the photothermal activity of Cy upon irradiation, increase in temperature at the tumor site results, which would be used not only for photothermal therapy but also to spur the release of DOX from the NPs for tunable chemotherapy. The NIR-laser-driven DOX release was validated by a series of intracellular and in vivo experiments on animals. Meanwhile, the chemo-photothermal combinatorial therapy results in optimal cytotoxicity and tumor inhibition. This article provides a promising approach to realizing supersensitive drug release and synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy for cancer.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), one of the four major groups of lipoproteins for lipid transport in vivo, is emerging as an attractive carrier for the targeted delivery of theranostic agents. In contrast to the synthetic systems, LDL particles are intrinsically biocompatible and biodegradable, together with reduced immunogenicity and natural capabilities to target cancerous cells and to escape from the recognition and elimination by the reticuloendothelial system. Enticed by these attributes, a number of strategies have been developed for reconstituting LDL particles, including conjugation to the apolipoprotein, insertion into the phospholipid layer, and loading into the core. Here we present a tutorial review on the development of reconstituted LDL (rLDL) particles for theranostic applications. We start with a brief introduction to LDL and LDL receptor, as well as the advantages of using rLDL particles as a natural and versatile platform for the targeted delivery of theranostic agents. After a discussion of commonly used strategies for the reconstitution of LDL, we highlight the applications of rLDL particles in the staging of disease progression, treatment of lesioned tissues, and delivery of photosensitizers for photodynamic cancer therapy. We finish this review with a perspective on the remaining challenges and future directions.
