Abstract
Porphyrins and porphyrin derivatives have been widely explored for various applications owing to their excellent photophysical and electrochemical properties. However, inherent shortcomings, such as instability and self-quenching under physiological conditions, limit their biomedical applications. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received increasing attention. The construction of porphyrin-based MOFs by introducing porphyrin molecules into MOFs or using porphyrins as organic linkers to form MOFs can combine the unique features of porphyrins and MOFs as well as overcome the limitations of porphyrins. This Review summarizes important synthesis strategies for porphyrin-based MOFs including porphyrin@MOFs, porphyrinic MOFs, and composite porphyrinic MOFs, and highlights recent achievements and progress in the development of porphyrin-based MOFs for biomedical applications in tumor therapy and biosensing. Finally, the challenges and prospects presented by this class of emerging materials for biomedical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous signal molecule with multiple physiological functions, and it also plays a key role in cancer therapy. However, the production of NO which depends on O2 or H2 O2 is limited within the tumor microenvironment, leading to unsatisfactory anticancer effect. Herein, we report a NO-based phototherapeutic strategy mediated by photogenerated holes for hypoxic tumors, which is achieved by irradiation of the poly-L-arginine modified carbon-dots-doped graphitic carbon nitride nanomaterial (ArgCCN). Upon red light irradiation, the photogenerated holes on ArgCCN oxidized water into H2 O2 which subsequently oxidized the arginine residues to produce NO. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the high concentration of NO produced by ArgCCN could induce cancer cell apoptosis. The presented phototherapeutic strategy is based on microenvironment-independent photogenerated holes mediated oxidation reaction, paving the way for the development of NO therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Porphyrins are important molecules widely found in nature in the form of enzyme active sites and visible light absorption units. Recent interest in using these functional molecules as building blocks for the construction of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have rapidly increased due to the ease in which the locations of, and the distances between, the porphyrin units can be controlled in these porous crystalline materials. Porphyrin-based MOFs with atomically precise structures provide an ideal platform for the investigation of their structure-function relationships in the solid state without compromising accessibility to the inherent properties of the porphyrin building blocks. This review will provide a historical overview of the development and applications of porphyrin-based MOFs from early studies focused on design and structures, to recent efforts on their utilization in biomimetic catalysis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, sensing, and biomedical applications.

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
In order to achieve better antitumor therapeutic efficacy and inhibit tumor metastasis, a multifunctional nanovaccine based on L-arginine (LA)-loaded black mesoporous titania (BMT) is fabricated. In this system, LA is utilized as the exogenous NO supplementation for gas therapy, and BMT is served as acoustic sensitizer for sonodynamic therapy. The ultrasound (US) as the exogenous stimulus can simultaneously trigger BMT and LA to produce singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) and NO gas at tumor sites, respectively. Interestingly, 1 O2 from US-excited BMT can promote the oxidation of LA to produce more NO. The high concentration of 1 O2 and NO in cancer cell can cause intracellular strong oxidative stress level and DNA double-strand breaks to induce cancer cell apoptosis ultimately. The US-triggered BMT@LA "nanovaccine" combining with immune checkpoint inhibitor PD-L1 antibody (αPD-L1) can induce strong antitumor immune response thus effectively killing primary tumors and further inhibiting metastatic tumors. Hence, BMT@LA-based "nanovaccine" combining with αPD-L1 checkpoint blockade treatment can realize synergetic sonodynamic/gas/immunotherapy with enhanced antitumor therapeutic effects.

Abstract
For decades, nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) have attracted extensive interest in biomedicine due to their distinct characteristics, including facile synthesis, porous interior, and tunable biocompatibility. With high porosity, versatile nMOFs allow for the facile encapsulation of various therapeutic agents with exceptionally high payloads. Constructed from metal ions and organic linkers through coordination bonds, nMOFs with plentiful functional groups enable the surface modification for active targeting and enhanced biocompatibility. This review outlines the up-to-date progresses on the exploration of nMOFs in the field of biomedicine. First, the classification and synthesis of nMOFs are discussed, followed by the concrete introduction of drug loading strategies of nMOFs and mechanisms of stimulation-responsive drug release. Second, the smart designs of the nMOFs-based platforms for anticancer and antibacterial treatment are summarized. Finally, the basic challenges faced by nMOFs research and the great potential of biomimetic nMOFs are presented. This review article affords an inspiring insight into the interdisciplinary research of nMOFs and their biomedical applications, which holds great expectation for their further clinical translation.

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
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) works through photoactivation of a specific photosensitizer (PS) in a tumor in the presence of oxygen. PDT is widely applied in oncology to treat various cancers as it has a minimally invasive procedure and high selectivity, does not interfere with other treatments, and can be repeated as needed. A large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and singlet oxygen is generated in a cancer cell during PDT, which destroys the tumor effectively. However, the efficacy of PDT in treating a deep-seated tumor is limited due to three main reasons: Limited light penetration depth, low oxygen concentration in the hypoxic core, and poor PS accumulation inside a tumor. Thus, PDT treatments are only approved for superficial and thin tumors. With the advancement of nanotechnology, PDT to treat deep-seated or thick tumors is becoming a reachable goal. In this review, we provide an update on the strategies for improving PDT with nanomedicine using different sophisticated-design nanoparticles, including two-photon excitation, X-ray activation, targeting tumor cells with surface modification, alteration of tumor cell metabolism pathways, release of therapeutic gases, improvement of tumor hypoxia, and stimulation of host immunity. We focus on the difficult-to-treat pancreatic cancer as a model to demonstrate the influence of advanced nanomedicine in PDT. A bright future of PDT application in the treatment of deep-seated tumors is expected.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is promising for clinical cancer therapy; however, the efficacy was limited as an individual treatment regimen. Here, an approach synergistically combining PDT and nitric oxide (NO) gas therapy along with destruction of the tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) was presented to eliminate cancer. Specifically, the NO donor l-arginine (l-Arg) and the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) were co-encapsulated in poly(lactic-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles and then loaded into the poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL-PEG-PCL) hydrogel to develop an injectable, thermosensitive dual drug delivery system (PLGA@ICG@l-Arg/Gel). Significantly, reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by PLGA@ICG@l-Arg/Gel under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation could not only result in the apoptosis of cancer cells but also oxidize l-Arg to generate NO, which could suppress the proliferation of cancer cells. Moreover, ROS could further oxidize NO to generate peroxynitrite anions (ONOO-). ONOO- could activate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which notably degraded collagen in ECM so as to damage the tumor microenvironment. PLGA@ICG@l-Arg/Gel significantly increased the antitumor efficacy against highly malignant 4T1 tumors in mice. Taken together, PLGA@ICG@l-Arg/Gel is a multifunctional platform that provides a novel strategy for cancer treatment with cascade amplification of the ROS oxidation effect, which holds great potential in clinical translation.

Biomaterials 2021; 269:120642. [PMID: 33440291 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2020.120642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2020] [Revised: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 12/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a common type of bone cancers with a high rate of pulmonary recurrence. High-dose radiation therapy is useful for the ablation of unresectable osteosarcoma. However, it may cause severe adverse effects. To address this problem, we developed D-arginine-loaded metal-organic frameworks (MOF) nanoparticles for improving the radiosensitivity of osteosarcoma. D-arginine, a metabolically inert enantiomer of L-arginine, could produce nitric oxide and down-regulate hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1α) to alleviate tumor hypoxia. In addition, MOF could also generate free radicals to kill the tumor cells. Results demonstrate that D-arginine-loaded nanoparticles enhanced tumor ablation and prevented the lung metastasis in mice upon radiation therapy. Furthermore, the nanoparticles or radiation alone had relatively low toxicity in cells and mice. Therefore, D-arginine-loaded MOF nanoparticles are relatively safe and highly effective in sensitizing osteosarcoma to radiotherapy.

Abstract
Gas therapy as a burgeoning and promising research field has attracted considerable attention in biomedicine due to its high therapeutic efficacy, biocompatibility, and biosafety. However, the lack of tumor site accumulation and controlled release of therapeutic gas molecules limited the therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, the development of gas-releasing nanoplatforms to realize tumor targeting and controllable release is highly desired. The structural diversity and tailorability and ultrahigh surface area make metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) find potential applications in the delivery and release of gas or gas releasing molecules (GRMs). In this Frontier article, we provide an overview of the recent developments achieved in gas-involving cancer therapy using MOFs or MOF-based materials. The main emphasis is focused on the design of multifunctional MOF-based nanoplatforms for the delivery and release of therapeutic gas molecules, and emphasizing their synergistic mechanism against tumor. Moreover, the challenges, future trends, and prospects of gas-related cancer therapy are also discussed.

Abstract
In improving the tumor-targeting ability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for tumor therapy and avoiding the clearance as well as capture by the immune system, there are still several challenges, which limit the development and bio-applications of MOFs. To overcome these challenges, various targeted modification strategies have been proposed. Amongst all the strategies, a promising cell membrane coating method has been explored and utilized for the syntheses of new cell membrane biomimetic MOFs (CMMs). Through such coating, various source cell membranes (e.g., red blood cell, immune cell, cancer cell, platelet, and fusion cell membranes) can be endowed with excellent properties such as long blood circulation, immune escape, and targeting ability. In the presented perspective, the synthetic method, characterization, and research progress in tumor therapy based on CMMs have been summarized. This is because, like many other technologies, the cell membrane coating technology also has several challenges to overcome. Hence, addressing and overcoming such challenges will promote and extend the bio-applications of MOFs which in the future may become a prospective carrier for cancer nano-medicine. Finally, the prospects and challenges of utilizing CMMs for tumor therapy have been discussed.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy in cancer cells is affected by sub-physiological hypoxia caused by dysregulated and “chaotic” tumor microvasculature. However, current traditional O2-replenishing strategies are undergoing their own intrinsic deficiencies. In addition, resistance mechanisms activated during PDT also lead the present situation far from satisfactory. Methods: We propose a nitric oxide (NO)-based theranostic nanoplatform by using biocompatible poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid nanoparticles (PLGA NPs) as carriers, in which the outer polymeric layer embeds chlorin e6 (Ce6) and incorporates L-Arginine (L-Arg). This nanoplatform (L-Arg@Ce6@P NPs) can reduce hyperactive O2 metabolism of tumor cells by NO-mediated mitochondrial respiration inhibition, which should raise endogenous O2 tension to counteract hypoxia. Furthermore, NO can also hinder oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) which should cause intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion, inhibiting tumor cells proliferation and turning cells more sensitive to PDT. Results: When the L-Arg@Ce6@P NPs accumulate in solid tumors by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, locally released L-Arg is oxidized by the abundant H2O2 to produce NO. In vitro experiments suggest that NO can retard hypoactive O2 metabolism and save intracellular O2 for enhancing PDT efficacy under NIR light irradiation. Also, lower intracellular ATP hinders proliferation of DNA, improving PDT sensitization. PDT phototherapeutic efficacy increased by combining these two complementary strategies in vitro/in vivo. Conclusion: We show that this NO-based nanoplatform can be potentially used to alleviate hypoxia and sensitize tumor cells to amplify the efficacy of phototherapy guided by photoacoustic (PA) imaging.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of molecular crystalline materials built from metal ions or clusters bridged by organic linkers. By taking advantage of their synthetic tunability and structural regularity, MOFs can hierarchically integrate nanoparticles and/or biomolecules into a single framework to enable multifunctions. The MOF-protected heterostructures not only enhance the catalytic capacity of nanoparticle components but also retain the biological activity of biomolecules in an intracellular microenvironment. Therefore, the multifunctional MOF heterostructures have great advantages over single components in cancer therapy. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the general principle of the design and functional modulation of nanoscaled MOF heterostructures, and biomedical applications in enhanced therapy within the last five years. The functions of MOF heterostructures with a controlled size can be regulated by designing various functional ligands and in situ growth/postmodification of nanoparticles and/or biomolecules. The advances in the application of multifunctional MOF heterostructures are also explored for enhanced cancer therapies involving photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and theranostics. The remaining challenges and future opportunities in this field, in terms of precisely localized assembly, maximizing composite properties, and processing new techniques, are also presented. The introduction of multiple components into one crystalline MOF provides a promising approach to design all-in-one theranostics in clinical treatments.

Abstract
Various therapeutic techniques have been studied for treating cancer precisely and effectively, such as targeted drug delivery, phototherapy, tumor-specific catalytic therapy, and synergistic therapy, which, however, evoke numerous challenges due to the inherent limitations of these therapeutic modalities and intricate biological circumstances as well. With the remarkable advances of nanotechnology, nanoplatform-based cascade engineering, as an efficient and booming strategy, has been tactfully introduced to optimize these cancer therapies. Based on the designed nanoplatforms, pre-supposed cascade processes could be triggered under specific conditions to generate/deliver more therapeutic species or produce stronger tumoricidal effects inside tumors, aiming to achieve cancer therapy with increased anti-tumor efficacy and diminished side effects. In this review, the recent advances in nanoplatform-based cascade engineering for cancer therapy are summarized and discussed, with an emphasis on the design of smart nanoplatforms with unique structures, compositions and properties, and the implementation of specific cascade processes by means of endogenous tumor microenvironment (TME) resources and/or exogenous energy inputs. This fascinating strategy presents unprecedented potential in the enhancement of cancer therapies, and offers better controllability, specificity and effectiveness of therapeutic functions compared to the corresponding single components/functions. In the end, challenges and prospects of such a burgeoning strategy in the field of cancer therapy will be discussed, hopefully to facilitate its further development to meet the personalized treatment demands.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) represents a promising modality that provides the possibility of non-invasively eliminating solid tumors in a site-directed manner. In light of the complexity and heterogeneity of tumors, more and more studies are attempting to combine SDT with other therapeutic methods so as to achieve better tumor treatment effect, which sheds new light on the potential of SDT-based synergistic therapeutics. Herein, the representative studies of SDT-instructed multimodal synergistic cancer therapy are comprehensively presented, such as sono-chemotherapy, sono-radiotherapy, sono-immunotherapy, and sono-chemodynamic therapy, etc., and their incorporate mechanisms are discussed in detail. The current challenges and future prospects to promote the advanced development of SDT-based nanomedicines in this burgeoning research field are highlighted. It is believed that such an emerging synergistic therapeutic modality based on SDT will play a more significant role in the field of tumor precision treatment medicine.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of phototherapy based on nanoparticles, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) which generates heat and photodynamic therapy (PDT) which not only generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) but also induces a variety of anti-tumor immunity, is to kill tumors. In addition, due to strong efficacy in clinical treatment with minimal invasion and negligible side effects, it has received extensive attention and research in recent years. In this paper, the generations of nanomaterials in PTT and PDT are described separately. In clinical application, according to the different combination pathway of nanoparticles, it can be used to treat different diseases such as tumors, melanoma, rheumatoid and so on. In this paper, the mechanism of pathological treatment is described in detail in terms of inducing apoptosis of cancer cells by ROS produced by PDT, immunogenic cell death to provoke the maturation of dendritic cells, which in turn activate production of CD4+ T cells, CD8+T cells and memory T cells, as well as inhibiting heat shock protein (HSPs), STAT3 signal pathway and so on.

Abstract
Porphyrin photosensitizers are widely used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) because of their unique diagnostic and therapeutic functions. However, many factors such as poor water solubility and instability of porphyrin compounds have limited their clinical application. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have the beneficial characteristics of versatility, high porosity, and excellent biocompatibility. Porphyrin-MOF nanomaterials have attracted the attention of researchers because MOFs can effectively suppress the quenching caused by the self-aggregation of porphyrin compounds and promote drug delivery. This article reviews the latest applications of porphyrin-MOF nanomedicine in type II photodynamic therapy by increasing tumour cell oxygen concentration, depleting tumour cell functional molecules and releasing signal molecules. Current potential limitations and future applications are also emphasized and discussed herein.

Abstract
Encapsulating nanoparticles/biomolecules into metal-organic freamworks (MOFs) has proven to be highly effective in creating new functions during their applications. However, it is highly desirable yet remains challenging to achieve the synergy of specific functions between the MOF host and guest species. Herein, inspired by the natural multienzyme system, a novel MOF composite biomimetic structure based on the coencapsulation of glucose oxidase (GOx) and l-arginine (l-Arg) into Cu-MOFs (CuBDC) with Fenton-like catalytic activity is designed for achieving the synergistic antibacterial effect. Once activated by GOx-catalyzed glucose oxidation, a large amount of oxygen radicals, toxic ONOO-, and NO are rapidly produced over this well-designed l-Arg/GOx@CuBDC through a double-cascade reaction. Thanks to the synergy of highly reactive species, outstanding antibacterial effects (bacterial inactivation ≥97%) are observed at very low doses (38 μg mL-1 for Escherichia coli and 3.8 μg mL-1 for Staphylococcus aureus). In addition, the in vivo experiment in mice demonstrated that the as-prepared l-Arg/GOx@CuBDC has good biocompatibility, indicating its good potential in practical applications. Such a biomimetic multienzyme system proposes a new design idea for highly efficient antibiosis as well as even therapy for tumors.

Abstract
Abstract
The hypoxic tumor microenvironment is characterized by disordered vasculature and rapid proliferation of tumors, resulting from tumor invasion, progression and metastasis. The hypoxic conditions restrict efficiency of tumor therapies, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy and immunotherapy, leading to serious results of tumor recurrence and high mortality. Recently, research has concentrated on developing functional nanomaterials to treat hypoxic tumors. In this review, we categorize such nanomaterials into (i) nanomaterials that elevate oxygen levels in tumors for enhanced oxygen-dependent tumor therapy and (ii) nanomaterials with diminished oxygen dependence for hypoxic tumor therapy. To elevate oxygen levels in tumors, oxygen-carrying nanomaterials, oxygen-generating nanomaterials and oxygen-economizing nanomaterials can be used. To diminish oxygen dependence of nanomaterials for hypoxic tumor therapy, therapeutic gas-generating nanomaterials and radical-generating nanomaterials can be used. The biocompatibility and therapeutic efficacy of these nanomaterials are discussed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) gas therapy has aroused intense interest in recent years. l-Arginine (l-Arg) reacts with reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tumor cells to generate NO. This phenomenon represents an effective method for tumor therapy. However, endogenous ROS levels in most types of tumor cells cannot enable an effective reaction. β-Lapachone is generally used to increase H2O2, which can oxidize guanidine derivatives to form nitric oxide in tumor cells. In addition, based on the ferrocene (Fc)-catalyzed Fenton reaction, ·OH is generated from H2O2, and the ONOO- could be generated from an interaction between ·O2- (generated through the Haber-Weiss reaction) and NO. Arg-rich poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-b-PArg, a macromolecular NO donor, was accurately synthesized to avoid premature l-Arg leakage during in vivo transport. In this design, the self-assembled PCL-b-PArg nanoparticles were dressed with the tumor-shreddable masking (PEG-b-PDMA, a negatively charged pH-sensitive hydrophilic diblock polymer), to prepare P-lapa-Fc nanoparticles and hide penetrative capability in the circulation. The experimental results confirmed that this synergistic therapy based on ROS and NO had a significant inhibitory effect on cancer cells, thereby providing new inspiration for NO gas treatment.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous gas with several physiological activities. Owing to the NO physiological functions, such as inhibition of platelet aggregation and adhesion, vascular muscle relaxation, modulation of inflammation and immune response, antibacterial and anticancer activity, increasing attensions have been paid to the development of biomaterials with the ability to release this medical gas. Nowadays, numerous prodrugs have been developed to release NO in vivo. However, due to the low payloads and non-controlled delivery of the prodrug, the NO-releasing devices do not fulfil the expectations, which restricts their widespread application. Recently, several methods have been proposed to address the issue above, including physical and chemical methods and specific designs. This review aims to briefly introduce the latest achievements with recent 3 years involving coatings which mimic the vascular endothelium to treat atherosclerosis, nanocarriers which generate NO for a sustained anticancer treatment, and a framework which modifies the prodrug as a stable cardiovascular stent or as an anticancer targeted drug.

Abstract
Mitochondria, which are important mediators for cancer initiation, growth, metastasis, and drug resistance, have been considered as a major target in cancer therapy. Herein, an acid-activated mitochondria-targeted drug nanocarrier is constructed for precise delivery of nitric oxide (NO) as an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) suppressor to amplify the therapeutic efficacy in cancer treatments. By combining α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and acid-cleavable dimethylmaleic anhydride modified PEG conjugated mitochondria-targeting peptide, the nanocarrier shows prolonged blood circulation time and enhanced cellular uptake together with selectively restoring mitochondria-targeting capability under tumor extracellular pH (6.5). Such specific mitochondria-targeted delivery of NO proves crucial in inducing mitochondria dysfunction through facilitating mitochondrial membrane permeabilization and downregulating ATP level, which can inhibit P-glycoprotein-related bioactivities and formation of tumor-derived microvesicles to combat drug resistance and cancer metastasis. Therefore, this pioneering acid-activated mitochondria-targeted NO nanocarrier is supposed to be a malignant tumor opponent and may provide insights for diverse NO-relevant cancer treatments.

Abstract
Traditional phototherapies face the issue that the insufficient penetration of light means it is difficult to reach deep lesions, which greatly reduces the feasibility of cancer therapy. Here, an implantable nitric oxide (NO)-release device is developed to achieve long-term, long-distance, remote-controllable gas therapy for cancer. The device consists of a wirelessly powered light-emitting diode (wLED) and S-nitrosoglutathione encapsulated with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), obtaining the NO-release wLED (NO-wLED). It is found that NO release from the NO-wLED can be triggered by wireless charging and the concentration of produced NO reaches 0.43 × 10-6 m min-1 , which can achieve a killing effect on cancer cells. In vivo anticancer experiments exhibit obvious inhibitory effect on the growth of orthotopic cancer when the implanted NO-wLED is irradiated by wireless charging. In addition, recurrence of cancer can be prevented by NO produced from the NO-wLED after surgery. By illumination in the body, this strategy overcomes the poor penetration and long-wavelength dependence of traditional phototherapies, which also provides a promising approach for in vivo gas therapy remote-controlled by wireless charging.

Abstract
Abundant desmoplastic stroma, which typically exists in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), can act as a natural protective physical barrier rendering insufficient drug delivery and penetration. To address this issue, we herein report a two-step sequential delivery strategy for enhanced pancreatic cancer therapy. In this sequential strategy, the nitric oxide (NO) donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) loaded liposomes (Lip-SNAP) were firstly delivered to pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) in tumor tissue to inhibit the production of dense stroma, by inhibiting the expression of TGF-β1 and its downstream profibrotic signal transduction. Therefore, the PSC-mediated desmoplastic reaction could be suppressed by inhibiting the expression of fibronectin, α-SMA and collagen. The gemcitabine (GEM) loaded liposomes (Lip-GEM) were administrated subsequently. The enhanced intratumoral penetration of Lip-GEM was then achieved due to the stromal disruption in consequence of NO treatment, thus significantly improving the drug delivery efficiency. The tumor growth inhibition of the two-step sequential delivery of Lip-SNAP and Lip-GEM was investigated on both subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor mouse models, to show the remarkably improved therapeutic efficacy of GEM. Such NO-induced stromal depletion provides a general strategy to overcome the blockage of desmoplastic stroma on other therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Photothermal treatment (PTT) involving a combination of therapeutic modalities recently emerged as an efficient alternative for combating biofilm. However, PTT-related local high temperature may destroy the surrounding healthy tissues. Herein, we present an all-in-one phototherapeutic nanoplatform consisting of l-arginine (l-Arg), indocyanine green (ICG), and mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA), namely, AI-MPDA, to eliminate the already-formed biofilm. The fabrication process included surface modification of MPDA with l-Arg and further adsorption of ICG via π-π stacking. Under near-infrared (NIR) exposure, AI-MPDA not only generated heat but also produced reactive oxygen species, causing a cascade catalysis of l-Arg to release nitric oxide (NO). Under NIR irradiation, biofilm elimination was attributed to the NO-enhanced photodynamic therapy and low-temperature PTT (≤45 °C). Notably, the NIR-triggered all-in-one strategy resulted in severe destruction of bacterial membranes. The phototherapeutic AI-MPDA also displayed good cytocompatibility. NIR-irradiated AI-MPDA nanoparticles not only prevented bacterial colonization but also realized a rapid recovery of infected wounds. More importantly, the all-in-one phototherapeutic platform displayed effective biofilm elimination with an efficiency of around 100% in a abscess formation model. Overall, this low-temperature phototherapeutic platform provides a reliable tool for combating already-formed biofilms in clinical applications.

Abstract
In this paper, a unique water-soluble heptamethine cyanine dye as NIR photosensitizer was synthesized to explore its properties associated with potential applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT). In the strategy of designing this photosensitizer, a sulfonic acid was used as a water soluble functional group and linked to the fluorophore through alkyl chains. 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl(Tempo) moiety was used as the a nitroxide spin label in obtaining biochemical reaction information in vivo due to it could greatly increase the inter-system crossing (ISC) process for triplet-state photosensitizers and low toxicity. As expected, the photosensitizers performed well in vitro photodynamic therapy. There were a remarkable absorbance band located at 692 nm and emission peaks falls at 762 nm, the quantum yield (Φf) was calculated to be 12.12% in pure aqueous solution using ICG as standards. The photosensitizer also has high singlet oxygen quantum yield (Φ△) for 16.96% with NIR LED irradiation. This photosensitizer can rapidly produce singlet oxygen and exhibit high phototoxicity under NIR light irradiation. It has excellent cellular uptake ability and better cell compatibility. It was also successfully applied in Near-infrared fluorescence imaging and AO/EB staining. In a whole, the organic dye based on Heptamethine cyanine used as photosensitizer has great potential in vivo cancer treatment.

Abstract
: In recent years, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely developed as vehicles for the effective delivery of drugs to tumor tissues. Due to the high loading capacity and excellent biocompatibility of MOFs, they provide an unprecedented opportunity for the treatment of cancer. However, drugs which are commonly used to treat cancer often cause side effects in normal tissue accumulation. Therefore, the strategy of drug targeting delivery based on MOFs has excellent research significance. Here, we introduce several intelligent targeted drug delivery systems based on MOFs and their characteristics as drug-loading systems, and the challenges of MOFs are discussed. This article covers the following types of MOFs: Isoreticular Metal Organic Frameworks (IRMOFs), Materials of Institute Lavoisier (MILs), Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs), University of Oslo (UiOs), and MOFs-based core-shell structures. Generally, MOFs can be reasonably controlled at the nanometer size to effectively achieve passive targeting. In addition, different ligands can be modified on MOFs for active or physicochemical targeting. On the one hand, the targeting strategy can improve the concentration of the drugs at the tumor site to improve the efficacy, on the other hand, it can avoid the release of the drugs in normal tissues to improve safety. Despite the challenges of clinical application of MOFs, MOFs have a number of advantages as a kind of smart delivery vehicle, which offer possibilities for clinical applications.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a hallmark of the tumor microenvironment, which promotes the proliferation, metastasis and invasion of tumors and stimulates the resistance of cancer treatments, leading to the serious consequence of tumor recurrence. Many nanotechnology-based studies have been conducted to improve the efficacy of cancer treatments using a hypoxia strategy. This is usually achieved by (i) activating bioreductive prodrugs in the tumor hypoxic/exacerbated hypoxic microenvironment, or (ii) delivering therapeutic agents to hypoxic tumor tissue using targeting molecules. Normally, a good therapeutic effect can be expected upon modulating the hypoxic microenvironment for tumor treatments. To achieve this, various nanotechnology strategies based on overcoming hypoxia have been exploited to alleviate tumor hypoxia and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of tumor therapy, including (i) reducing oxygen consumption by inhibiting cell respiration, (ii) normalizing tumor vessels to promote blood flow in the tumor, (iii) carrying exogenous oxygen into the tumor, and (iv) generating oxygen in situ. The strategy of in situ oxygen production is refined, and the scope of this strategy is further expanded. Finally, the inspiration of using advanced nanotechnology in hypoxia-associated antitumor therapy guides the study of tumor hypoxia for clinical use.

Abstract
Local photothermal hyperthermia for tumor ablation and specific stimuliresponsive gas therapy feature the merits of remote operation, noninvasive intervention, and in situ tumor-specific activation in cancer-therapeutic biomedicine. Inspired by synergistic/sequential therapeutic modality, herein a novel therapeutic modality is reported based on the construction of two-dimensional (2D) core/shell-structured Nb2C-MSNs-SNO composite nanosheets for photonic thermogaseous therapy. A phototriggered thermogas-generating nanoreactor is designed via mesoporous silica layer coating on the surface of Nb2C MXene nanosheets, where the mesopores provide the reservoirs for NO donor (S-nitrosothiol (RSNO)), and the core of Nb2C produces heat shock upon second near-infrared biowindow (NIR-II) laser irradiation. The Nb2C-MSNs-SNO-enabled photonic thermogaseous therapy undergoes a sequential process of phototriggered heat production from the core of Nb2C and thermotriggered NO generation, together with photoacoustic-imaging (PAI) guidance and monitoring. The constructed Nb2C-MSNs-SNO nanoreactors exhibit high-NIR-induced photothermal effect, intense NIR-controlled NO release, and desirable PAI performance. Based on these unique theranostic properties of Nb2C-MSNs-SNO nanocomposites, sequential photonic thermogaseous therapy with limited systematic toxicity on efficiently suppressing tumor growth is achieved by PAI-guided NIR-controlled NO release as well as heat generation. Such a thermogaseous approach representes a stimuli-selective strategy for synergistic/sequential cancer treatment.

Abstract
The multidrug resistance (MDR) of tumor cells often leads to the failure of chemotherapy against cancer. It is urgently needed to develop a safe and effective strategy of overcoming MDR for enhancing chemotherapy efficiency. In this work, one type of new folic acid-polyethylene glycol (FA-PEG) modified polydopamine nanoparticles (FAPPs) was synthesized for gas/chemo/photothermal triple-combination therapy of multidrug resistant cancer. The nanoparticles loaded nitric oxide (NO) donor act as a NO nanoemitter to generate NO via a NIR light irradiation switch, which has a great capacity of reversing MDR via inhibiting the overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and cell respiration with the reduction of both the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) in MDR tumor cells. Moreover, the amount of generated NO can be regulated by changing the action time of the nanoparticles. After that, the nanoparticles loaded chemotherapeutic agent (DOX) act as a photothermal-chemotherapy nanomedicine, which can release DOX with a high concentration in tumor cell for chemotherapy and simultaneously produce a large amount of heat for photothermal therapy under NIR irradiation. Finally, the gas/chemo/photothermal triple-combination therapy with the nanomedicines displays an excellent therapeutic efficacy in nude mice bearing MDR tumors. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The multidrug resistance (MDR) of tumor cells frequently leads to the failure of chemotherapy against cancer. It is urgently needed to develop a safe and effective strategy of overcoming MDR for enhancing chemotherapy efficiency. In this paper, a NIR light switching nitric oxide nanoemitter is successfully developed for gas/chemo/photothermal triple-combination therapy of multidrug resistant cancer. The controllably generated NO under NIR irradiation can effectively reverse multidrug resistance by inhibiting the overexpression of P-gp and cell respiration, significantly enhancing the chemotherapeutic agent concentration in tumor cells, and simultaneously a large amount of heat is produced for photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) with strong oxidizing and high activity have been regarded as an effective "weapon" for antitumor therapy, since it can induce organelle injury, oxidative damage, and cell death. Herein, hollow structured manganese carbonate (MnCO3) nanocubes are fabricated and loaded with photosensitizer (chlorin e6, Ce6), obtaining a responsive nanoplatform H-MnCO3/Ce6-PEG (HMCP NCs). Two different approaches to upregulate intracellular ROS level were realized by HMCP NCs. On one hand, with irradiation of external laser, Ce6 could generate singlet oxygen (1O2) through a multistep photochemical process applied in photodynamic therapy (PDT). On the other hand, MnCO3 could be specifically degraded into Mn2+ in an acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), triggering Mn2+-activated Fenton-like reaction to convert endogenous H2O2 into hydroxyl radical (•OH). In vitro combined chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and PDT showed that the metal ion-enhanced ROS production could break the intracellular redox equilibrium, thus leading to cell death. In vivo combined CDT/PDT with HMCP NCs exhibited remarkably enhanced therapeutic efficacy in inhibiting tumor growth, without resulting in noticeable damage to normal tissues. This work presents a unique type of manganese-based nanoplatform for efficiently generating ROS in solid tumors, favorable for ROS-involved therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has drawn great interest in recent years mainly due to its low side effects and few drug resistances. Nevertheless, one of the issues of PDT is the need for oxygen to induce a photodynamic effect. Tumours often have low oxygen concentrations, related to the abnormal structure of the microvessels leading to an ineffective blood distribution. Moreover, PDT consumes O2. In order to improve the oxygenation of tumour or decrease hypoxia, different strategies are developed and are described in this review: 1) The use of O2 vehicle; 2) the modification of the tumour microenvironment (TME); 3) combining other therapies with PDT; 4) hypoxia-independent PDT; 5) hypoxia-dependent PDT and 6) fractional PDT.

Abstract
Gas-involving cancer theranostics have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their high therapeutic efficacy and biosafety. We have reviewed the recent significant advances in the development of stimuli-responsive gas releasing molecules (GRMs) and gas nanogenerators for cancer bioimaging, targeted and controlled gas therapy, and gas-sensitized synergistic therapy. We have focused on gases with known anticancer effects, such as oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen (H2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and heavy gases that act via the gas-generating process. The GRMs and gas nanogenerators for each gas have been described in terms of the stimulation method, followed by their applications in ultrasound and multimodal imaging, and finally their primary and synergistic actions with other cancer therapeutic modalities. The current challenges and future possibilities of gas therapy and imaging vis-à-vis clinical translation have also been discussed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) molecular messenger can reverse the multidrug resistance (MDR) effect of cancer cells through reducing P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression, beneficial for creating a favorable microenvironment for the treatment of doxorubicin (Dox)-resistant cancer cells. Development of sophisticated nanosystems to programmably release NO and Dox becomes an efficient strategy to overcome the MDR obstacles and achieve promising therapeutic effects in Dox-resistant cancer. Herein, a NO stimulated nanosystem was designed to engineer a significant time gap between NO and Dox release, promoting MDR cancer therapy. A o-phenylenediamine-containing lipid that can hydrolyze in response to NO was embedded in the phospholipid bilayer structure of liposome to form NO-responsive liposome, which could further encapsulate l-arginine (l-Arg)/Dox-loaded gold@copper sulfide yolk-shell nanoparticls (ADAu@CuS YSNPs) to form ADLAu@CuS YSNPs. Under 808 nm laser irradiation, the unique resonant energy transfer (RET) process and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the confined space of ADLAu@CuS YSNPs could effectively convert l-Arg into NO, regionally destabilizing the phospholipid bilayer structure, as a result of NO release. However, at this early stage Dox could not be released from YSNPs due to the molecular scaffold limit. As the NO release progressed, the NO-responsive liposome layer was deteriorated more severely, allowing Dox to escape. This NO and Dox sequential release of ADLAu@CuS YSNPs could significantly inhibit P-gp expression and enhance Dox accumulation in Dox-resistant MCF-7/ADR cells, leading to promising in vitro and in vivo therapeutic effects and presenting their great potential for MDR cancer therapy.

Abstract
Low delivery efficiency and limited tumor penetration of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems (DDSs), the two most concerned issues in tumor therapy, have been considered as the "Achilles' heel" for tumor treatment. In this study, we have designed a highly sensitive dual-redox-responsive prodrug-based starlike polymer β-CD-b-P(CPTGSH-co-CPTROS-co-OEGMA) (CPGR) for synergistic chemotherapy. The high glutathione (GSH) concentration and high reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels are in a dynamic equilibrium in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and could trigger the disintegration of CPGR micelles, which can promote the release of anticancer drug camptothecin (CPT) completely and intelligently. In order to verify the synergistic antitumor mechanism, two corresponding single-responsive β-CD-b-P(CPTGSH-co-OEGMA) (CPG) and β-CD-b-P(CPTROS-co-OEGMA) (CPR) were altogether prepared as contrast. Both in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed the enhanced anticancer activity of CPGR micelles in comparison of single responsive micelles. This work contributes to the orchestrated design of dual-redox-responsive DDSs for synergetic antitumor chemotherapy, which provides a good approach for the development of dual-redox-responsive nanomedicine.

Abstract
The viable use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in cancer therapy has never been fully realized because of its undesirable effects on healthy tissues. Herein we summarize some physicochemical factors that can make PDT a more viable and effective option to provide future oncological patients with better-quality treatment options. These physicochemical factors include light sources, photosensitizer (PS) carriers, microwaves, electric fields, magnetic fields, and ultrasound. This Review is meant to provide current information pertaining to PDT use, including a discussion of in vitro and in vivo studies. Emphasis is placed on the physicochemical factors and their potential benefits in overcoming the difficulty in transitioning PDT into the medical field. Many advanced techniques, such as employing X-rays as a light source, using nanoparticle-loaded stem cells and bacteriophage bio-nanowires as a photosensitizer carrier, as well as integration with immunotherapy, are among the future directions.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a combination of photosensitizers with visible light to generate reactive species and selectively kill tumor or unwanted tissue. Znln2S4 nanoparticles are widely implemented in photovoltaic device materials and photolysis water catalysts owing to their unique photoelectric properties. Whether Znln2S4 itself can be used as an effective dye in PDT is still unknown. To determine the effects and potential mechanism of Znln2S4PDT on HepG2 cell apoptosis, electron microscopic analysis was performed to monitor the apoptotic morphology of HepG2 cells upon exposure to Znln2S4-PDT. Flow cytometry was performed to measure the apoptosis rate and intracellular ROS production. Western blot and ELISA were performed to reveal the expression changes in Bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9. Data from this work suggested that cells exhibited the typical apoptotic morphology in response to Znln2S4-PDT, with high apoptotic rate. The intracellular ROS production after Znln2S4-PDT occurred in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, Znln2S4-PDT augmented the expression levels of pro-apoptosis factors, especially, Bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9. Taken together, our novel findings, Znln2S4-PDT elicited HepG2 cell apoptosis, suggesting Znln2S4 as a promising photosensitizer candidate for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Here, a Mn(III)-sealed metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosystem based on coordination between Mn(III) and porphyrin (TCPP) via a one-pot method was designed and constructed. Mn(III), as a sealer, not only quenched TCPP-based fluorescence but also inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which made MOFs an "inert" theranostic nanoparticle. Interestingly, upon endocytosis by tumor cells, MOFs were disintegrated into Mn(II) and free TCPP by intracellular glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells, owing to redox reaction between Mn(III) and GSH. This disintegration would lead to consumption of antioxidant GSH and activated Mn(II)-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as TCPP-based fluorescent imaging. More importantly, such a GSH-regulated TCPP release could implement controllable ROS generation under irradiation, which avoided side effects (inflammation and damage of normal tissues). As a consequence, after unlocking by GSH, Mn(III)-sealed MOFs could significantly improve the therapeutic efficiency of photodynamic therapy by combining controlled ROS generation and GSH depletion after precise dual tumor homing.

Abstract
Over the past 3 years, glucose oxidase (GOx) has aroused great research interest in the context of cancer treatment due to its inherent biocompatibility and biodegradability, and its unique catalytic properties against β-d-glucose. GOx can effectively catalyze the oxidation of glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. This process depletes oxygen levels, resulting in elevated acidity, hypoxia, and oxidative stress in the tumor microenvironment. All of these changes can be readily harnessed to develop a multimodal synergistic cancer therapy by combining GOx with other therapeutic approaches. Herein, the representative studies of GOx-instructed multimodal synergistic cancer therapy are introduced, and their synergistic mechanisms are discussed systematically. The current challenges and future prospects to advance the development of GOx-based nanomedicines in this cutting-edge research area are highlighted.
