Abstract
With the excellent ability to transform near-infrared light to localized visible or UV light, thereby achieving deep tissue penetration, lanthanide ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) have emerged as one of the most striking nanoscale materials for more effective and safer cancer treatment. Up to now, UCNPs combined with photosensitive components have been widely used in the delivery of chemotherapy drugs, photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy. Applications in these directions are reviewed in this article. We also highlight microenvironmental tumor monitoring and precise targeted therapies. Then we briefly summarize some new trends and the existing challenges for UCNPs. We hope this review can provide new ideas for future cancer treatment based on UCNPs.

Abstract
A near-infrared (NIR) emissive artificial light-harvesting system with two-step high-efficiency sequential resonance energy transfers was fabricated based on the in situ growth of MAPbBr3 quantum dots in the supramolecular self-assembly of a Zn(II) carboxyl-functionalized pillar[5]arene coordination polymer and two different fluorescent dyes, eosin Y and Nile blue. This system could realize NIR fluorescent imaging of the sweat pores of latent fingerprints, opening a new avenue to design perovskite-based NIR emitting artificial light-harvesting systems for third-level fingerprint imaging.

Abstract
Positioning essential elements of photodynamic therapy (PDT) near to mitochondria can conquer the rigorous spatiotemporal limitations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) transfer and make considerable differences in PDT. However, precise accumulation of photosensitizer (PS) and oxygen within mitochondria is still challenging. We simultaneously encapsulated hexyl 5-aminolevulinate hydrochloride (HAL) and 3-bromopyruvic acid (3BP) into microparticles collected from X-ray-irradiated tumor cells (X-MP). After systemic administration, the developed HAL/3BP@X-MP can specifically target and recognize tumor cells, where HAL induces efficient accumulation of PpIX in mitochondria via the intrinsic haem biosynthetic pathway. Meanwhile, 3BP remarkably increases the oxygen supply by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration. The accurate co-localization and prompt encounter of PpIX and oxygen produce sufficient ROS to directly disrupt mitochondria, resulting in significantly improved PDT outcomes.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based drug sustainable release systems have been tentatively applied to bone regeneration. They, however, still face disadvantages of high toxicity, low biocompatibility, and low drug-load capacity. In view of the low toxicity and high biocompatibility of polymer nanomaterials and the excellent load capacity of hollow nanomaterials with high specific surface area, we evaluated the hollow polydopamine nanoparticles (HPDA NPs), in order to find an optimal system to effectively deliver the osteogenic drugs to improve treatment of bone defect. Data demonstrated that the HPDA NPs synthesized herein could efficiently load four types of osteogenic drugs and the drugs can effectively release from the HPDA NPs for a relatively longer time in vitro and in vivo with low toxicity and high biocompatibility. Results of qRT-PCR, ALP, and alizarin red S staining showed that drugs released from the HPDA NPs could promote osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) in vitro. Image data from micro-CT and H&E staining showed that all four osteogenic drugs released from the HPDA NPs effectively promoted bone regeneration in the defect of tooth extraction fossa in vivo, especially tacrolimus. These results suggest that the HPDA NPs, the biodegradable hollow polymer nanoparticles with high drug load rate and sustainable release ability, have good prospect to treat the bone defect in future clinical practice.

Abstract
Nanozymes, as a kind of artificial mimic enzymes, have superior catalytic capacity and stability. As lack of O2 in tumor cells can cause resistance to drugs, we designed drug delivery liposomes (MnO2-PTX/Ce6@lips) loaded with catalase-like nanozymes of manganese dioxide nanoparticles (MnO2 NPs), paclitaxel (PTX) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) to consume tumor's native H2O2 and produce O2. Based on the catalysis of MnO2 NPs, a large amount of oxygen was produced by MnO2-PTX/Ce6@lips to burst the liposomes and achieve a responsive release of the loaded drug (paclitaxel), and the released O2 relieved the chemoresistance of tumor cells and provided raw materials for photodynamic therapy. Subsequently, MnO2 NPs were decomposed into Mn2+ in an acidic tumor environment to be used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. The MnO2-PTX/Ce6@lips enhanced the efficacy of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in bearing-tumor mice, even achieving complete cure. These results indicated the great potential of MnO2-PTX/Ce6@lips for the modulation of the TME and the enhancement of chemotherapy and PDT along with MRI tracing in the treatment of tumors.

Abstract
The integration of hypoxia-activated chemotherapy with photodynamic therapy (PDT) has newly become a potent strategy for tumor treatment. Herein, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive drug carriers (PS@AQ4N/mPEG-b-PSe NPs) are fabricated based on the amphiphilic selenium-containing methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-polycarbonate (mPEG-b-PSe), the hydrophobic photosensitizer (PS), and hypoxia-activated prodrug Banoxantrone (AQ4N). The obtained nanoparticles are spherical with an average diameter of 100 nm as characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and dynamic laser scattering (DLS) respectively. The encapsulation efficiency of the PS and AQ4N reaches 92.83% and 51.04% at different conditions, respectively, by UV-vis spectrophotometer. It is found that the drug release is accelerated due to the good ROS responsiveness of mPEG-b-PSe and the cumulative release of AQ4N is up to 89% within 30 h. The cell test demonstrates that the nanoparticles dissociate when triggered by the ROS stimuli in the cancer cells, thus the PS is exposed to more oxygen and the ROS generation efficiency is enhanced accordingly. The consumption of oxygen during PDT leads to the increased tumor hypoxia, and subsequently activates AQ4N into cytotoxic counterpart to inhibit tumor growth. Therefore, the synergistic therapeutic efficacy demonstrates this drug delivery has great potential for antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Hypoxia in the solid tumor microenvironment (TME) can easily induce tumor recurrence, metastasis, and drug resistance. The use of man-made nanozymes is considered to be an effective strategy for regulating hypoxia in the TME. Herein, Ru@MnO2 nanozymes were constructed via an in situ reduction method, and they showed excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and catalytic activity. The anti-tumor drug DOX with fluorescence was loaded on the Ru@MnO2 nanozymes, and an erythrocyte membrane was further coated on the surface of the Ru@MnO2 nanozymes to construct nanozymes with on-demand release abilities. The erythrocyte membrane (RBCm) enhances the biocompatibility of the Ru@MnO2 nanozymes and prolongs their circulation time in the blood. Ru@MnO2 nanozymes can catalyze endogenous H2O2 to produce O2 to relieve hypoxia in the TME to enhance the efficacy of the photothermal therapy/chemotherapy of cancer. In vitro studies confirmed that the Ru@MnO2 nanozymes showed good tumor penetration abilities and a synergistic anti-tumor effect. Importantly, both in vivo and in vitro studies have confirmed that the oxygen supply in situ enhanced the efficacy of the PTT/chemotherapy of cancer. Accordingly, this study demonstrated that Ru@MnO2 nanozymes can be used as an effective integrated system allowing catalysis, photothermal therapy, and chemotherapy for cancer management.

Abstract
An O2 self-evolving core-shell theranostic nanohybrid was developed by encapsulating a nanoenzyme cerium oxide (CeOx) in a metal-organic framework (MOF). The hybrid reveals a 9-fold higher apoptotic percentage than bare CeOx in a harsh hypoxic microenvironment through tandem homogenous catalysis. Simultaneously, the oxygen-promoted therapeutic efficiency was self-monitored by the hybrid with caspase-3 activation, paving the way for MOF-functionalized nanoenzymes in theranostics.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-mediated cancer therapeutics is a fast developing field and has been utilized in potential clinical applications. However, most effective therapies, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radio therapy (RT), are strongly oxygen-dependent, which hinders their practical applications. Later on, several strategies were developed to overcome tumor hypoxia, such as oxygen carrier nanomaterials and oxygen generated nanomaterials. Among these, oxygen species generation on nanozymes, especially catalase (CAT) mimetic nanozymes, convert endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to oxygen (O2) and peroxidase (POD) mimetic nanozymes converts endogenous H2O2 to water (H2O) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a hypoxic tumor microenvironment is a fascinating approach. The present review provides a detailed examination of past, present and future perspectives of POD mimetic nanozymes for effective oxygen-dependent cancer phototherapeutics.

Abstract
Over the past five years, oxygen-based nanocarriers (NCs) to boost anti-tumor therapy attracted tremendous attention from basic research and clinical practice. Indeed, tumor hypoxia, caused by elevated proliferative activity and dysfunctional vasculature, is directly responsible for the less effectiveness or ineffective of many conventional therapeutic modalities. Undeniably, oxygen-generating NCs and oxygen-carrying NCs can increase oxygen concentration in the hypoxic area of tumors and have also been shown to have the ability to decrease the expression of drug efflux pumps (e.g., P-gp); to increase uptake by tumor cells; to facilitate the generation of cytotoxic reactive oxide species (ROS); and to evoke systematic anti-tumor immune responses. However, there are still many challenges and limitations that need to be further improved. In this review, we first discussed the mechanisms of tumor hypoxia and how it severely restricts the therapeutic efficacy of clinical treatments. Then an up-to-date account of recent progress in the fabrications of oxygen-generating NCs and oxygen-carrying NCs are systematically introduced. The improved physicochemical and surface properties of hypoxia alleviating NCs for increasing the targeting ability to hypoxic cells are also elaborated with special attention to the latest nano-technologies. Finally, the future directions of these NCs, especially towards clinical translation, are proposed. Therefore, we expect to provide some valued enlightenments and proposals in engineering more effective oxygen-based NCs in this promising field in this comprehensive overview.

Abstract
Combining photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and ferroptosis is a valuable means for an enhanced anticancer effect. However, traditional combination of PDT/CDT/ferroptosis faces several hurdles, including excess glutathione (GSH) neutralization and preparation complexity. In this work, a versatile multifunctional nanoparticle (HCNP) self-assembled from two porphyrin molecules, chlorin e6 and hemin, is developed. The as-constructed HCNPs exhibit a peroxidase-mimic catalytic activity, which can lead to the in situ generation of endogenous O2, thereby enhancing the efficacy of PDT. Furthermore, the generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) in the tumor environment in reaction to the high level of H2O2 and the simultaneous disruption of intracellular GSH endow the HCNPs with the capacity of enhanced CDT, resulting in a more effective therapeutic outcome in combination with PDT. More importantly, GSH depletion further leads to the inactivation of GSH peroxide 4 and induced ferroptosis. Both in vitro and in vivo results showed that the combination of PDT/CDT/ferroptosis realizes highest antitumor efficacy significantly under laser irradiation. Therefore, by integrating the superiorities of O2 and •OH generation capacity, GSH-depletion effect, and bioimaging into a single nanosystem, the HCNPs are a promising single therapeutic agent for tumor PDT/CDT/ferroptosis combination therapy.

Abstract
Herein, PPy@MnO2 nanocomposites were first harvested by anchoring MnO2 nanosheets on polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles via an in situ redox reaction, then polyethylene glycol (PEG) modifier and methylene blue (MB) photosensitizer were linked through electrostatic interactions to obtain PPy@MnO2-PEG-MB nanoarchitectures. PPy nanoparticles ensure photothermal therapy (PTT) ability and MnO2 nanosheets ameliorate tumor hypoxia for enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT). Therefore, a multifunctional nanotherapeutic system was constructed for the combined PTT/PDT of tumors. For extracellular photothermal properties, the optimal temperature elevation was 52.6 °C with 54.4% photothermal conversion efficiency. The extracellular PDT ability was measured by detecting 1O2 generation; more 1O2 was produced under acidic conditions in the presence of H2O2 (a simulated tumor microenvironment). The effective cellular uptake of the nanotherapeutic system in HeLa cells was observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). CLSM also indicated that more 1O2 was generated by the nanotherapeutic system as compared to free MB in HeLa cells, confirming the amelioration of tumor hypoxia by MnO2 nanosheets. MTT assays demonstrated that the nanotherapeutic system possessed superior biocompatibility without laser irradiation, and the lowest cell viabilities for single PTT and PDT groups were 13.78%, 38.82% respectively, while there was only 1.29% cell viability in the combined PTT and PDT group. These results suggest that the strategy of assembling PPy with MnO2 for a multifunctional PTT and enhanced PDT nanoplatform was realized, and opens up an unimpeded approach for integrating photothermal reduction materials with MnO2 for use in synergistic PTT and PDT.

Abstract
Porous nanomaterials with high surface area, tunable porosity, and large mesopores have recently received particular attention in cancer therapy and imaging. Introduction of additional pores to nanostructures not only endows the tunability of optoelectronic and optical features optimal for tumor treatment, but also modulates the loading capacity and controlled release of therapeutic agents. In recognition, increasing efforts have been made to fabricate various porous nanomaterials and explore their potentials in oncology applications. Thus, a systematic and comprehensive summary is necessary to overview the recent progress, especially in last ten years, on the development of various mesoporous nanomaterials for cancer treatment as theranostic agents. While outlining their individual synthetic mechanisms after a brief introduction of the structures and properties of porous nanomaterials, the current review highlighted the representative applications of three main categories of porous nanostructures (organic, inorganic, and organic-inorganic nanomaterials). In each category, the synthesis, representative examples, and interactions with tumors were further detailed. The review was concluded with deliberations on the key challenges and future outlooks of porous nanostructures in cancer theranostics.

Motivated by their ever-increasing attention in the scientific community, this review aims to provide a comprehensive showcase on the current landscape of protein-based nanomedicine for cancer therapy. On the basis of role differences of proteins in nanomedicine, protein-based nanomedicine engineered with protein therapeutics, protein carriers, enzymes, and composite proteins is introduced. The cancer therapeutic benefits of the protein-based nanomedicine are also discussed, including small-molecular therapeutics-mediated therapy, macromolecular therapeutics-mediated therapy, radiation-mediated therapy, reactive oxygen species-mediated therapy, and thermal effect-mediated therapy. Lastly, future developments and potential challenges of protein-based nanomedicine are elucidated toward clinical translation. It is believed that protein-based nanomedicine will play a vital role in the battle against cancer. We hope that this review will inspire extensive research interests from diverse disciplines to further push the developments of protein-based nanomedicine in the biomedical frontier, contributing to ever-greater medical advances.

Abstract
While photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer has attracted much recent attention, its general applications are limited by the shallow tissue penetration depth of short-wavelength photons and the low oxygen contents in typical solid tumors. Herein, we develop small molecule (BthB)-based nanoparticles (NPs) which not only generate heat for effective photothermal therapy (PTT), but also generate superoxide radicals (O2˙-) for hypoxia-overcoming photodynamic therapy (PDT) upon irradiation with an 808 nm laser. To the best of our knowledge, there are few reports of organic PDT agents which can work in hypoxia upon irradiation with photons having wavelengths longer than 800 nm. With the merits of NIR-excitability for better penetration depth, the BthB NPs are demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo to be highly effective for cancer ablation.

Abstract
Cerium(IV) oxide (CeO2), or ceria, is one of the most abundant rare-earth materials that has been extensively investigated for its catalytic properties over the past two decades. However, due to the global scarcity and increasing cost of rare-earth materials, efficient utilization of this class of materials poses a challenging issue for the materials research community. Thus, this work is directed toward an exploration of making ultrathin hollow ceria or other rare-earth metal oxides and mixed rare-earth oxides in general. Such a hollow morphology appears to be attractive, especially when the thickness is trimmed to its limit, so that it can be viewed as a two-dimensional sheet of organized nanoscale crystallites, while remaining three-dimensional spatially. This ensures that both inner and outer shell surfaces can be better utilized in catalytic reactions if the polycrystalline sphere is further endowed with mesoporosity. Herein, we have devised our novel synthetic protocol for making ultrathin mesoporous hollow spheres of ceria or other desired rare-earth oxides with a tunable shell thickness in the region of 10 to 40 nm. Our ceria ultrathin hollow spheres are catalytically active and outperform other reported similar nanostructured ceria for the oxidation reaction of carbon monoxide in terms of fuller utilization of cerium. The versatility of this approach has also been extended to fabricating singular or multicomponent rare-earth metal oxides with the same ultrathin hollow morphology and structural uniformity. Therefore, this approach holds good promise for better utilization of rare-earth metal elements across their various technological applications, not ignoring nano-safety considerations.

Abstract
Photoresponsive ruthenium (Ru) complexes have been extensively studied in the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. The metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorption maximum of most Ru complexes is located in the short-wavelength visible region, which is well suited for superficial tumors but shows inefficient therapeutic effects for more deep-seated ones. Moreover, Ru complexes are primarily located in the mitochondria or nucleus, always resulting in high levels of dark toxicity and DNA mutation. Herein, we reported a new ruthenium complex (Ru-I) for red-light-triggered PDT. The activation wavelength of Ru-I is successfully extended to 660 nm. Importantly, the complex photosensitizer can be quickly taken up by cancer cells and selectively accumulated in the lysosome, an ideal localization for PDT purposes. Intratumoral injection of Ru-I into tumor-bearing mice achieved excellent therapeutic effects and thus holds great promise for applications in lysosome localization photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
As a direct thin band gap n-type semiconductor, bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanomaterials possess great near-infrared (NIR)-triggered photothermal effects, photoacoustic (PA) and computed tomography (CT) imaging properties. Hence, Bi2S3 nanomaterials have become a research focal point in multiple domains, such as the construction of NIR-triggered nanosystems for cancer therapy. In this study, through a simple one-pot synthesis with the assistance of EDTA-2Na, we first obtained monodispersed spherical Bi2S3 of uniform particle sizes with fascinating photothermal and PA/CT imaging properties. Based on this, we introduced the photosensitizer Ce6 with photodynamic property and CeO2 with the O2-evolving characteristic, and thus designed a core-shell structure of the Bi2S3@Ce6-CeO2 nanocomposites (Bi2S3@Ce6-CeO2 NCs). The as-received Bi2S3@Ce6-CeO2 NCs exhibited a remarkable synergetic photothermal and photodynamic therapeutic effect both in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating its promising potential for cancer treatments. In the long term, the multifunctional PA/CT properties of both Bi2S3 NPs and Bi2S3@Ce6-CeO2 NCs in this study also supply a novel Bi2S3-based platform for constructing integrated diagnosis and treatment platforms.

Abstract
Nanotechnology advances in cancer therapy applications have led to the development of nanomaterials that generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) specifically in tumor cells. ROS act as a double-edged sword, as they can promote tumorigenesis and proliferation but also trigger cell death by enhancing intracellular oxidative stress. Various nanomaterials function by increasing ROS production in tumor cells and thereby disturbing their redox balance, leading to lipid peroxidation, and oxidative damage of DNA and proteins. In this review, we outline these mechanisms, summarize recent progress in ROS-based nanomaterials, including metal-based nanoparticles, organic nanomaterials, and chemotherapy drug-loaded nanoplatforms, and highlight their biomedical applications in cancer therapy as drug delivery systems (DDSs) or in combination with chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), or sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Finally, we discuss the advantages and limitations of current ROS-mediated nanomaterials used in cancer therapy and speculate on the future progress of this nanotechnology for oncological applications.

Abstract
Current photodynamic therapy (PDT) faces several intrinsic limitations, including insufficient oxygen supply and limited penetration of external light sources. Herein, we report a nanoconjugate, which, in response to the elevated hydrogen peroxide levels associated with tumor tissues, can supplement the oxygen needed for PDT and provide local self-illumination. Consisting of a MnFe2O4 core, a metal-organic framework shell loaded with the chemiluminescence reagent luminol, and a hyaluronic acid surface coating, the nanoconjugate is highly effective for suppressing cancer tissues in vivo via PDT in the absence of externally delivered light.

Abstract
The past several years have witnessed the blooming of emerging immunotherapy, as well as their therapeutic potential in remodeling the immune system. Nevertheless, with the development of biological mechanisms in oncology, it has been demonstrated that hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) seriously impairs the therapeutic outcomes of immunotherapy. Hypoxia, caused by Warburg effect and insufficient oxygen delivery, has been considered as a primary construction element of TME and drawn tremendous attention in cancer therapy. Multiple hypoxia-modulatory theranostic agents have been facing many obstacles and challenges while offering initial therapeutic effect. Inspired by versatile nanomaterials, great efforts have been devoted to design hypoxia-based nanoplatforms to preserve drug activity, reduce systemic toxicity, provide adequate oxygenation, and eventually ameliorate hypoxic-tumor management. Besides these, recently, some curative and innovative hypoxia-related nanoplatforms have been applied in synergistic immunotherapy, especially in combination with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), immunomodulatory therapeutics, cancer vaccine therapy and immunogenic cell death (ICD) effect. Herein, the paramount impact of hypoxia on tumor immune escape was initially described and discussed, followed by a comprehensive overview on the design tactics of multimodal nanoplatforms based on hypoxia-enabled theranostic agents. A variety of nanocarriers for relieving tumor hypoxic microenvironment were also summarized. On this basis, we presented the latest progress in the use of hypoxia-modulatory nanomaterials for synergistic immunotherapy and highlighted current challenges and plausible promises in this area in the near future. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Cancer immunotherapy, emerging as a novel treatment to eradicate malignant tumors, has achieved a measure of success in clinical popularity and transition. However, over the last decades, hypoxia-induced tumor immune escape has attracted enormous attention in cancer treatment. Limitations of free targeting agents have paved the path for the development of multiple nanomaterials with the hope of boosting immunotherapy. In this review, the innovative design tactics and multifunctional nanocarriers for hypoxia alleviation are summarized, and the smart nanomaterial-assisted hypoxia-modulatory therapeutics for synergistic immunotherapy and versatile biomedical applications are especially highlighted. In addition, the challenges and prospects of clinical transformation are further discussed.

Abstract
Clinical treatment of malignant glioma remains a major challenge due to high infiltrative growth and chemotherapeutic resistance of tumors and the presence of the blood brain barrier (BBB). Advanced nanoplatforms that can efficiently cross the BBB and target to brain tumor are urgently needed. Encouraged by the intrinsic inflammatory chemotaxis and excellent BBB-crossing capability of neutrophils, a bioinspired neutrophil-exosomes (NEs-Exos) system for delivering loaded doxorubicin (DOX) drug for glioma treatment is proposed and systematically investigated. In vivo zebrafish and C6-Luc glioma-bearing mice models show that NEs-Exos carrying the drug rapidly penetrate the BBB and migrate into the brain. Additionally, a transwell BBB model and mouse brain inflammatory study show that NEs-Exos can respond chemotactically to inflammatory stimuli and target infiltrating tumor cells in inflamed brain tumors. Moreover, intravenous injection of NEs-Exos/DOX efficiently suppress tumor growth and prolong survival time in a glioma mouse model. On the basis of these results, NEs-Exos are confirmed to have neutrophil-like chemotactic function and BBB penetration. This novel NEs-Exos/DOX delivery platform represents a promising chemotherapeutic approach for clinical treatment of glioma and other solid tumor or brain diseases.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of tumors is crucial in selecting appropriate treatment options to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, but it is difficult to accurately diagnose cancer by a single imaging modality due to technical constraints. Therefore, we synthesized a type of Fe3O4 nanoparticle with manganese dioxide grown on the surface and then prepared it by loading photosensitive drugs and traditional Chinese medicine monomers to create an integrated diagnosis/treatment multifunctional nanoplatform: Fe3O4@MnO2-celastrol (CSL)/Ce6. This nanoplatform can have full advantage of the tumor microenvironment (TME) characteristics of hypoxia (hypoxia), acidic pH (acidosis), and increased levels of reactive oxygen species (e.g., H2O2), even outside the TME. Specific imaging and drug release can also enhance tumor therapy by adjusting the hypoxic state of the TME to achieve the combined effect of chemotherapy (CT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Moreover, the obtained Fe3O4@MnO2-CSL/Ce6 has H2O2- and pH-sensitive biodegradation and can release the anticancer drug celastrol (CSL) and photosensitizer Ce6 in TME and simultaneously generate O2 and Mn2+. Therefore, the "dual response" synergistic strategy also confers specific drug release on nanomaterials, relieves tumor hypoxia and antioxidant capacity, and achieves significant optimization of CT and PDT. Furthermore, the resulting Mn2+ ions and Fe3O4 nanoparticles can be used for T1/T2 magnetic resonance imaging on tumor-bearing mice, and the released Ce6 can simultaneously provide fluorescence imaging functions. Therefore, Fe3O4@MnO2-CSL/Ce6 realized the synergistic treatment of PDT and CT under multimodal near-infrared fluorescence/photoacoustic (photoacoustic) imaging monitoring, showing its great potential in the accurate medical treatment of tumors.

Abstract
In recent years, chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has gained increasing interest in cancer treatment. In contrast to photodynamic therapy and sonodynamic therapy, extrinsic excitations such as laser or ultrasound are not required in CDT. As a result, the CDT performance is not limited by the penetration depth of the external irritation. However, CDT relies heavily on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumour microenvironment (TME). Insufficient H2O2 in the TME limits the CDT performance, and the most reported methods to produce H2O2 in the TME are dependent on oxygen supply, which is restricted by the hypoxic TME. In this study, H2O2 self-providing copper nanodots were proposed, and the drug doxorubicin (DOX) was successfully loaded to construct DOX-nanodots. Our results showed that the nanodots produced H2O2 in the weakly acidic TME due to the peroxo group and further generated the most active hydroxyl radical (OH) through the Fenton-like reaction. This process was pH-dependent and did not occur in a neutral environment. In addition to OH, the nanodots also produced singlet oxygen (1O2) and superoxide anions (O2-) in the cancer cells. The copper nanodots performed promising CDT against breast cancer in vitro and in vivo, with enhanced cell apoptosis and decreased cell proliferation. The combination of chemotherapy and CDT using DOX-nanodots further improved the therapeutic effects. The treatments showed good biocompatibility with no obvious toxicity in major tissues, possibly due to the specific OH generation in the weakly acidic TME. In summary, the H2O2 self-providing copper nanodots in combination with DOX showed promising cancer-curing effects due to the oxygen-independent and tumour-specific production of reactive oxygen species and the cooperation of chemotherapy.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based artificial enzyme mimetics have attracted increasing attention because of their robust stability, adjustable activity, and cost-effectiveness. In this study, we developed a simple and effective method for the synthesis of highly dispersed ultrafine PdCo alloys with peroxidase- and catalase-like activities. The aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy analysis verified that the cyanogel precursor in the mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) was converted to PdCo alloy in NH3 at a high temperature. The PdCo alloy was homogenously distributed in MSNs as ultrafine and monodispersed particles. By selectively removing the Co species from the binary alloy through an acid-leaching approach, the role of each component in the enzyme-like mimetics was systematically studied. Using glutathione (GSH) as the model analyte, the potential application of PdCo@MSNs in GSH detection from complex cell media was confirmed via colorimetric assay. The ultrafine alloy size, double mimetic activities, and abundant loading space of PdCo@MSNs make them promising not only in clinical diagnosis but also in overcoming hypoxia-induced photodynamic therapy resistance in tumor treatment.

Abstract
Biomarker-activatable theranostic formulations offer the potential for removing specific tumors with a high diagnostic accuracy and a significant pharmacological effect. Herein, we developed a novel activatable theranostic nanoformulation UAS-PD [upconversion nanophosphor (UCNP)-aptamer/ssDNA-pyropheophorbide-a (PPA)-doxyrubicin (DOX)], which can recognize specific cancer cells with sensitivity and trigger the localized photodynamic destruction and enhanced chemotherapy. UAS-PD was constructed by the conjugation of UCNPs and aptamer probes containing the photosensitizer PPA and the chemotherapeutic drug DOX. When cancer cells are present, the UAS-PD specifically binds to PTK7, an overexpressed protein present on the surface of cancer cells, through conformational recombination of the aptamer structure and switches its upconversion luminescence from 655 to 540 nm. This long-lived ratiometric optical signal provides an ultrasensitive detection limit as low as 3.9 nM for PTK7. Changes in the conformation of UAS-PD can also induce PPA to approach UCNPs, which can produce cytotoxic singlet oxygens under near-infrared excitation to destroy the cell membrane and enhance its permeability for the simultaneously released DOX that targets cellular DNA degradation, which results in a highly effective tumor-killing effect by synergistic extra-intracellular sequential damage.

Abstract
Enzymes play pivotal roles in regulating and maintaining the normal functions of all living systems, and some of them are extensively employed for diagnosis and treatment of diverse diseases. More recently, several kinds of enzymes with unique catalytic activities have been found to be promising options to directly suppress tumor growth and/or augment the therapeutic efficacy of other treatments by modulating the hostile tumor microenvironment (TME), which is reported to negatively impair the therapeutic efficacy of different cancer treatments. In this review, first a summary is presented on the chemical approaches utilized for the construction of distinct enzyme nanoreactors with well-retained catalytic performance and reduced immunogenicity. Then, the utilization of such enzyme nanoreactors in attenuating tumor hypoxia, modulating extracellular matrix, and amplifying tumor oxidative stress is discussed in depth. Afterward, some perspectives are presented on the future development of such enzyme nanoreactors in TME modulation and enhanced cancer treatment.

Abstract
Excessive production of oxidative species alters the normal redox balance and leads to diseases, such as chronic inflammation and cancer. Oxidative species are short-lived species, which makes direct, precise, and real-time measurements difficult. Herein, we report a novel core-satellite gold nanostructure for dual, ratiometric surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging to enable the precise detection of inflammation/cancer-related H2 O2 . The combination of H2 O2 -activated second near-infrared (NIR-II) PA imaging and SERS imaging enables the differentiation between the inflamed region and normal tissue with high accuracy. The mesoporous silica shell of the nanoprobe could be used to deliver drugs to the target area to precisely treat disease. Therefore, this core-satellite nanostructure can not only quantitatively and precisely monitor H2 O2 produced in inflammation, tumor, and osteoarthritis in rabbits in real-time, but can also be used to track the progress of the anti-inflammatory treatment in real-time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is the most common type of tumour worldwide. Its relative lethality is considerably high. However, since the tumour tissues are located deep within the human body, traditional technologies, such as photodynamic therapy, do not have the desired effect. Sonosensitisers can penetrate deeply into tissues, and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) effectively inhibits tumours by generating reactive oxygen species. Ultrasound can also penetrate deeply, with a favourable tumour inhibition effect. RESULTS A redox/ultrasound-responsive Rhein-chondroitin sulphate-based nano-preparation encapsulating docetaxel was fabricated. The nanoparticles displayed increased cellular uptake with quick drug release, good stability, and a monodispersed form in the physiological environment. Rhein induced apoptosis and altered mitochondrial membrane potential, which enhanced the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. SDT inhibited the metastasis and angiogenesis of cancer cells and activated anti-tumour capacity by reducing the expression of M2 macrophages. CONCLUSIONS The potential of Rhein for SDT was demonstrated. Production of reaction oxygen species was markedly enhanced after ultrasound treatment. The nanoplatform enhanced the synergistic anti-tumour effects of SDT and chemotherapeutic efficacy. The approach was biocompatibility. The findings could inform investigations of chemo-SDT for different cancers.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) therapy and antiangiogenesis therapy (AAT) are regarded as promising approaches for cancer treatment. However, the poor tumor targeting ability and inevitable side effects prevent their clinical application. In this study, we developed H2O2-responsive diselenide-containing micelles that combined CO therapy with chemosensitization therapy and AAT in a single system. Under the interaction of intratumoral H2O2, CO and gemcitabine (GEM) were released in situ from the micelles to reduce side effects, and CO significantly sensitized the chemotherapeutic effect of GEM by elevating the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human gastric cancer AGS cells. Furthermore, diselenide bonds in the micelles were oxidized to seleninic acid in organic form, which suppressed the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) to realize AAT. This study provides an integrated solution to combine CO therapy with chemosensitization therapy and AAT together with good biocompatibility.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is the most important treatment strategy in free radical therapy. However, tumor microenvironment hypoxia is a key obstacle in PDT. In order to overcome this obstacle, the strategy of in situ production of O2/radicals by catalytic reaction in solid tumors was proposed. In recent years, it has been found that there are many oxygen-independent carbon-based free radicals that can generate toxic active free radicals under laser irradiation and lead to tumor cell death. Based on the rational design of multifunctional nano-medicine, the active free radical nano-generator has opened up a new way for the highly developed nanotechnology and tumor cooperative therapy to improve the therapeutic effect. In this paper, the research status of active free radical nano-generators, especially reactive oxygen species, including the construction mechanism of active free radical nanomaterials, is reviewed and the application of free radical nano-generators in tumor therapy is emphasized.

Abstract
Optical probes for near-infrared (NIR) light have clear advantages over UV/VIS-based optical probes, such as their low levels of interfering auto-fluorescence and high tissue penetration. The second NIR (NIR-II) window (1000-1350 nm) offers better light penetration, lower background signal, higher safety limit, and higher maximum permitted exposure than the first NIR (NIR-I) window (650-950 nm). Therefore, NIR-II laser-based photoacoustic (PA) and fluorescence (FL) imaging can offer higher sensitivity and penetration depth than was previously available, and deeper lesions can be treated in vivo by photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) with an NIR-II laser than with an NIR-I laser. Advances in creation of novel nanomaterials have increased options for improving light-induced bioimaging and treatment. Nanotechnology can provide advantages such as good disease targeting ability and relatively long circulation times to supplement the advantages of optical technologies. In this review, we present recent progress in development and applications of NIR-II light-based nanoplatforms for FL, PA, image-guided surgery, PDT, and PTT. We also discuss recent advances in smart NIR-II nanoprobes that can respond to stimuli in the tumor microenvironment and inflamed sites. Finally, we consider the challenges involved in using NIR-II nanomedicine for effective diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Since the first clinical cancer treatment in 1978, photodynamic therapy (PDT) technologies have been largely improved and approved for clinical usage in various cancers. Due to the oxygen-dependent nature, the application of PDT is still limited by hypoxia in tumor tissues. Thus, the development of effective strategies for manipulating hypoxia and improving the effectiveness of PDT is one of the most important area in PDT field. Recently, emerging nanotechnology has benefitted progress in many areas, including PDT. In this review, after briefly introducing the mechanisms of PDT and hypoxia, as well as basic knowledge about nanomedicines, we will discuss the state of the art of nanomedicine-based approaches for assisting PDT for treating hypoxic tumors, mainly based on oxygen replenishing strategies and the oxygen dependency diminishing strategies. Among these strategies, we will emphasize emerging trends about the use of nanoscale metal-organic framework (nMOF) materials and the combination of PDT with immunotherapy. We further discuss future perspectives and challenges associated with these trends in both the aspects of mechanism and clinical translation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role in physiological and pathological processes. Studies on the regulation of ROS for disease treatments have caused wide concern, mainly involving the topics in ROS-regulating therapy such as antioxidant therapy triggered by ROS scavengers and ROS-induced toxic therapy mediated by ROS-elevation agents. Benefiting from the remarkable advances of nanotechnology, a large number of nanomaterials with the ROS-regulating ability are developed to seek new and effective ROS-related nanotherapeutic modalities or nanomedicines. Although considerable achievements have been made in ROS-based nanomedicines for disease treatments, some fundamental but key questions such as the rational design principle for ROS-related nanomaterials are held in low regard. Here, the design principle can serve as the initial framework for scientists and technicians to design and optimize the ROS-regulating nanomedicines, thereby minimizing the gap of nanomedicines for biomedical application during the design stage. Herein, an overview of the current progress of ROS-associated nanomedicines in disease treatments is summarized. And then, by particularly addressing these known strategies in ROS-associated therapy, several fundamental and key principles for the design of ROS-associated nanomedicines are presented. Finally, future perspectives are also discussed in depth for the development of ROS-associated nanomedicines.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the treatment of breast cancer can provide the option of surgery for patients with a large tumor mass or increase the rate of breast conservation. However, some patients are not sensitive to chemotherapeutic drugs, and therefore this may cause them to miss their optimal chance for surgery. Herein, photodynamic therapy (PDT) was chosen instead of chemotherapy as a neoadjuvant treatment for breast cancer because of its effectiveness against different cancer cells and the lack of side effects in normal tissues. Considering the hypoxic environment of tumors and the tissue penetration depth, a heterojunction Zn2GeO4:Mn2+/g-C3N4 was designed and combined with upconversion materials NaYF4:Yb3+, Tm3+ and hyaluronic acid to form a NaYF4:Yb3+, Tm3+/Zn2GeO4:Mn2+/g-C3N4@HA (UZC@HA) photosensitizer. After intratumoral administration using a thermosensitive hydrogel as a carrier, under a 980 nm laser, UZC@HA can generate holes and electrons to oxidize water to form a hydroxyl radical (˙OH) and react with O2 to produce the superoxide ion (˙O2-), respectively. The thermosensitive hydrogel not only supplies water, but also ensures the high loading capacity of UZC@HA. HA on the UZC can bind specifically with CD44R-overexpressing tumor cells and help the photosensitizer to target tumor sites. Thus, near infrared (NIR) mediated oxygen-independent PDT can be realized. After 12 d of treatment, the tumor mass was significantly reduced and no side effects in normal tissues were observed. Our work shows the potential of the NIR mediated heterojunction UZC@HA to act as a photosensitizer for neoadjuvant PDT in breast cancer and may open a new avenue for exploration of PDT and provide more options for breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a non-invasive therapeutic modality, has received increasing attention owing to its high selectivity and limited side effects. Although significant clinical research progress has been made in PDT, the breadth and depth of its clinical application have not been fully realized due to the limitations such as inadequate light penetration depth, non-targeting photosensitizers (PSs), and tumor hypoxia. Consequently, numerous investigations put their emphasis on innovative strategies to overcome the aforementioned limitations and enhance the therapeutic effect of PDT. Herein, up-to-date advances in these innovative methods for PDT are summarized by introducing the design of PS systems, their working mechanisms and application examples. In addition, current challenges of these innovative strategies for clinical application, and future perspectives on further improvement of PDT are also discussed.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer around the world. Recent findings suggest that cancer stem cells (CSCs) play a pivotal role in the resistance to current therapeutic modalities, including surgery and chemotherapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising non-invasive therapeutic strategy for advanced metastatic CRC. Traditional photosensitizers such as pyropheophorbide-a (Pyro) lack tumor selectivity, causing unwanted treatment-related toxicity to the surrounding normal tissue. In order to enhance the targeting properties of Pyro, we synthesize a novel photosensitizer, CD133-Pyro, via the conjugation of Pyro to a peptide domain targeting CD133, which is highly expressed on CRC CSCs and correlated with poor prognosis of CRC patients. We demonstrate that CD133-Pyro possesses the targeted delivery capacity both in CRC CSCs derived from HT29 and SW620 cell lines and in a xenograft mouse model of tumor growth. CD133-Pyro PDT can promote the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), suppress the stemness properties, and induce autophagic cell death in CRC CSCs. Furthermore, CD133-Pyro PDT has a potent inhibitory effect on CRC CSC-derived xenograft tumors in nude mice. These findings may offer a useful and important strategy for the treatment of CRC through targeting CSCs.

Abstract
Activatable theranostics, integrating high diagnostic accuracy and significant therapeutic effect, holds great potential for personalized cancer treatments; however, their chemodynamic modality is rarely exploited. Herein, we report a new in situ activatable chemodynamic theranostics PAsc/Fe@Cy7QB to specifically recognize and eradicate cancer cells with H2O2-catalyzed hydroxyl radical (•OH) burst cascade. Methods: The nanomicelles PAsc/Fe@Cy7QB were constructed by self-assembly of acid-responsive copolymers incorporating ascorbates and acid-sensitive Schiff base-Fe2+ complexes as well as H2O2-responsive adjuvant Cy7QB. Results: Upon systematic delivery of PAsc/Fe@Cy7QB into cancer cells, the acidic microenvironment triggered disassembly of the nanomicelles. The released Fe2+ catalyzed the oxidation of ascorbate monoanion (AscH-) to efficiently produce H2O2. The released H2O2, together with the endogenous H2O2, could be converted into highly active •OH via the Fenton reaction, resulting in enhanced Fe-mediated T1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The synchronously released Cy7QB was activated by H2O2 to produce a glutathione (GSH)-scavenger quinone methide to boost the •OH yield and recover the Cy7 dye for fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging. Conclusion: The biodegradable PAsc/Fe@Cy7QB designed for tumor-selective multimodal imaging and high therapeutic effect provides an exemplary paradigm for precise chemodynamic theranostic.

Abstract
Cancer is a major disease burden worldwide. In recent years, in addition to surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are recognized as the most effective methods for treating solid tumors. These methods have been introduced to treat tumors of different origins and stages clinically. However, due to insufficient blood flow and oxygen (O2) supply in solid tumors, hypoxia is caused, leading to decreased sensitivity of tumor cells and poor therapeutic effects. In addition, hypoxia will also lead to resistance to most anticancer drugs, accelerate malignant progress, and increase metastasis. In solid tumors, adequate O2 supply and adequate delivery of anticancer drugs are essential to improve radiotherapy and chemotherapy sensitivity. In recent decades, the researches on relieving tumor hypoxia have attracted researchers' extensive attention and achieved good results. However, as far as we know, there is no detailed review of the researches on alleviating tumor hypoxia. Therefore, in this contribution, we hope to give an overview of the researches on methods to improve tumor hypoxia environment and summarize their effect and application in tumor therapy, to provide a methodological reference for the research and development of new antitumor agents.
