Abstract
Combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy has emerged as a promising anticancer strategy. Polysaccharide-based nanoparticles are being intensively explored as drug carriers for different forms of combination therapy. In this study, novel multifunctional polysaccharide-based nanocomplexes were prepared from aldehyde-functionalized hyaluronic acid and hydroxyethyl chitosan via sequential self-assembly method. Stable nanocomplexes were obtained through both Schiff's base bond and electrostatic interactions. Chemotherapeutics doxorubicin and pro-photosensitizer 5-aminolevulinic acid were chemically conjugated onto the nanocomplexes via Schiff base linkage. Anti-HER2 antibody as targeting moiety was decorated onto the surface of nanocomplexes. The obtained near-spherical shaped nanocomplexes had an average size of 140 nm and a zeta potential of -24.6 mV, and displayed pH-responsive surface charge reversal and drug release. Active targeting strategy significantly enhanced the cellular uptake of nanocomplexes and combined anticancer efficiency of chemo-photodynamic dual therapy in breast cancer MCF-7 cells. These results suggested that the nanocomplexes had great potential for targeted combination therapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
Nanomedicines have been demonstrated to have passive or active tumor targeting behaviors, which are promising for cancer chemotherapy. However, most nanomedicines still suffer from a suboptimal targeting effect and drug leakage, resulting in unsatisfactory treatment outcome. Herein, a hierarchical responsive nanomedicine (HRNM) is developed for programmed delivery of chemotherapeutics. The HRNMs are prepared via the self-assembly of cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide conjugated triblock copolymer, poly(2-(hexamethyleneimino)ethyl methacrylate)-poly(oligo-(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate)-poly[reduction-responsive camptothecin] (PC7A-POEG-PssCPT). In blood circulation, the RGD peptides are shielded by the POEG coating; therefore, the nanosized HRNMs can achieve effective tumor accumulation through passive targeting. Once the HRNMs reach a tumor site, due to the hydrophobic-tohydrophilic conversion of PC7A chains induced by the acidic tumor microenvironment, the RGD peptides will be exposed for enhanced tumor retention and cellular internalization. Moreover, in response to the glutathione inside cells, active CPT drugs will be released rapidly for chemotherapy. The in vitro and in vivo results confirm effective tumor targeting, potent antitumor effect, and reduced systemic toxicity of the HRNMs. This HRNM is promising for enhanced chemotherapeutic delivery.

Abstract
Nanocarriers with tumor-acidity-activated charge-conversional ability are of particular interest for targeted drug delivery in the field of precision nanomedicine. Nevertheless, the key challenge of this strategy is the slowness of reversing the surface charge at the tumor tissue. As a proof-of-concept, we synthesized the amphiphilic triblock polymer poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(2-carboxyethylacrylate)-block-poly(2-azepaneethylmethacrylate) (PEG-b-PCEA-b-PAEMA) to prepare the cisplatin-loaded nanocarrier UCC-NP/Pt. The PAEMA block at the physiological pH values was hydrophobic, which formed the core of UCC-NP/Pt. In contrast, at the tumor acidity, the tertiary amine groups of PAEMA block rapidly protonated, resulting in the ultrafast charge conversion of UCC-NP/Pt within 10 s. Such ultrafast charge-conversional effect more efficiently enhanced tumor cell internalization of nanocarriers, thus achieving targeted drug delivery, which in turn exhibited superior anticancer efficacy even in the cisplatin-resistant cells. This approach provides new avenues for tumor-acidity-activated targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a fundamental hallmark of solid tumors and helps contribute to chemotherapy resistance. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy can overcome tumor hypoxia and promote chemotherapy antitumor efficacy; however, the simultaneous administration of some conventional chemotherapies, including doxorubicin (DOX), with HBO is considered an absolute contraindication. Here, DOX-loaded liposome (Doxil) is coadministered with HBO to assess the safety and efficacy of this combination treatment. By overcoming tumor hypoxia, HBO not only improves Doxil tumor penetration by decreasing the collagen deposition but also sensitizes tumor cells to Doxil. As a result, the combination treatment synergistically inhibits H22 tumor growth, with a tumor inhibition rate of 91.5%. The combination of HBO with Doxil shows neither extra side effects nor promotion of tumor metastasis. These results collectively reveal that the combination of HBO with Doxil is an effective and safe treatment modality. As both HBO and Doxil are routinely used, their combination could quickly translate to clinical trials for patients with hypoxic solid tumors.

Abstract
Melittin (MEL) is recognized as a highly potent therapeutic peptide for treating various human diseases including cancer. However, the clinical applications of MEL are largely restricted by its severe hemolytic activity and nonspecific cytotoxicity. Here, it is found that MEL can form a stable supramolecular nanocomplex of ≈60 nm with the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6), which after hyaluronic acid (HA) coating can achieve robust, safe, and imaging-guided tumor ablation. The as-designed nanocomplex (denoted as MEL/Ce6@HA) shows largely reduced hemolysis and selective cytolytic activity toward cancer cells. Upon laser irradiation, the loaded photosensitive Ce6 can synergistically facilitate the membrane-lytic efficiency of melittin and greatly increase the tumor penetration depth of the complexes in multicellular tumor spheroids. In vivo experiments reveal that MEL/Ce6@HA can realize enhanced tumor accumulation, reduced liver deposition, and rapid body clearance, which are beneficial for highly efficient and safe chemo-photodynamic dual therapy. This work develops a unique supramolecular strategy for optimized in vivo delivery of melittin and may have implications for the development of peptide-based theranostics.

Abstract
Given the complexity of tumors, several nanomaterial-based treatment modalities like chemotherapy (CT), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have been developed for combating cancers. However, it is still unclear which strategy is better or how to select optimal approaches for combination treatment since each strategy has been investigated under different conditions. Inspired by its good payload capacity and unique near-infrared absorption, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was selected in this study as the carrier for loading of doxorubicin (DOX), a chemotherapy drug, and chlorin e6 (Ce6), a photosensitizer. The therapeutic efficacies of PTT, CT and PDT were systematically investigated in vitro using 2D culture and multicellular tumor spheroid (3D) models. Interestingly, while all three types of therapies delivered by rGO appeared to be effective in the conventional 2D cell culture model, only PTT but not CT and PDT showed great treatment efficacy in the 3D tumor spheroid model at the tested concentrations. Such a difference is due to the fact that heat diffusion is much more efficient than the diffusion of therapeutic molecules inside the tumor. Furthermore, in vivo evidence also confirmed the unique advantage of PTT compared to the other two treatment modalities using the TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining assay. This study highlights the unique advantages of nanomedicine-based photothermal therapy among these three modalities in cancer treatment in terms of killing tumor cells located far from tumor blood vessels.

Abstract
Camptothecin (CPT) is a promising anticancer drug, yet its therapeutic potential has been limited by poor water solubility and facile hydrolysis of the lactone form into an inactive carboxylate form at neutral pH. In this work, a fundamental synthetic methodology was advanced to allow for the preparation of well-defined functional polyphosphoramidate (PPA)-based block copolymers that coassembled with CPT into nanoparticles, which underwent coincident acid-triggered polymer backbone degradation, nanoparticle disassembly, and CPT release. Encapsulation of CPT by the PPA polymer inhibited premature hydrolysis of CPT at pH 7.4 and enabled accelerated CPT release at pH 5.0 (ca. 4× faster than at pH 7.4). Two degradable oxazaphospholidine monomers, with one carrying an alkyne group, were synthesized to access well-defined block PPAs (dispersity, Đ<1.2) via sequential organobase-catalyzed ring-opening polymerizations (ROP). The resulting amphiphilic block copolymers (PEOMP-b-PBYOMP) were physically loaded with CPT to achieve well-dispersed nanotherapeutics, which allowed the aqueous suspension of CPT at concentrations up to 3.2 mg/mL, significantly exceeding the aqueous solubility of the drug (<2.0 μg/mL at 37 °C). Cytotoxicity studies revealed enhanced efficacy of the CPT-loaded nanoparticles over free CPT in cancer cells and similar toxicity in normal cells.

Abstract
To optimally penetrate biological hydrogels such as mucus and the tumor interstitial matrix, nanoparticles (NPs) require physicochemical properties that would typically preclude cellular uptake, resulting in inefficient drug delivery. Here, we demonstrate that (poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) core)-(lipid shell) NPs with moderate rigidity display enhanced diffusivity through mucus compared with some synthetic mucus penetration particles (MPPs), achieving a mucosal and tumor penetrating capability superior to that of both their soft and hard counterparts. Orally administered semi-elastic NPs efficiently overcome multiple intestinal barriers, and result in increased bioavailability of doxorubicin (Dox) (up to 8 fold) compared to Dox solution. Molecular dynamics simulations and super-resolution microscopy reveal that the semi-elastic NPs deform into ellipsoids, which enables rotation-facilitated penetration. In contrast, rigid NPs cannot deform, and overly soft NPs are impeded by interactions with the hydrogel network. Modifying particle rigidity may improve the efficacy of NP-based drugs, and can be applicable to other barriers. Penetration of the mucus and tumor interstitial matrix is an important consideration for drug delivery devices. Here, the authors report on a study into the optimization of rigidity for the transport of nanoparticles through biological hydrogels using core-shell polymer-lipid nanoparticles.

Abstract
Carrier-free nanoparticles with high drug loading have attracted increasing attention; however, in situ on-demand drug release remains a challenge. Here, a novel near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced blasting carrier-free nanodrug delivery system is designed and fabricated by coating doxorubicin (DOX) nanoparticles (DNPs) with a polydopamine film (PDA) that would prolong the blood circulation time of DNPs and avoid the preleakage of the DOX during blood circulation. Meanwhile, the NH4HCO3 is introduced to trigger in situ "bomb-like" release of DOX for the production of carbon dioxide (CO2) and ammonia (NH3) gases driven by NIR irradiated photothermal effect of PDA. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that the carrier-free nanovectors with high drug loading efficiency (85.8%) prolong tumor accumulation, enhance chemotherapy, achieve the synergistic treatment of chemotherapy and photothermal treatment, and do not induce any foreign-body reaction over a three-week implantation. Hence, the delicate design opens a self-assembly path to develop PDA-based NIR-responsive multifunctional carrier-free nanoparticles for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Intelligent polymeric micelles for antitumor drug delivery and tumor bioimaging have drawn a broad attention because of their reduced systemic toxicity, enhanced efficacy of drugs, and potential application of tumor diagnosis. Herein, we developed a multifunctional polymeric micelle system based on a pH and redox dual-responsive mPEG-P(TPE- co-AEMA) copolymer for stimuli-triggered drug release and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active imaging. These mPEG-P(TPE- co-AEMA)-based micelles showed excellent biocompatibility and emission property, exhibiting great potential application for cellular imaging. Furthermore, the antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) could be encapsulated during self-assembly process with high loading efficiency, and a DOX-loaded micelle system with a size of 68.2 nm and narrow size distribution could be obtained. DOX-loaded micelles demonstrated great tumor suppression ability in vitro, and the dual-responsive triggered intracellular drug release could be further traced. Moreover, DOX-loaded micelles could efficiently accumulate at the tumor site because of enhanced permeability and retention effect and long circulation of micelles. Compared with free DOX, DOX-loaded micelles exhibited better antitumor effect and significantly reduced adverse effects. Given the efficient accumulation targeting to tumor tissue, dual-responsive drug release, and excellent AIE property, this polymeric micelle would be a potential candidate for cancer therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis and cancer cell metastasis. Accordingly, a drug-delivery system (DDS) that is capable of targeting tumor and releasing drugs in response to TME-associated stimuli should lead to potent antitumor efficacy. Here, a cancer targeting, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive drug delivery vehicle as an example of a TME-targeting DDS is reported. Tumor targeting is achieved using biotin as a ligand for "biotin transporter"-overexpressing malignant tumors, and bilirubin-based nanoparticles (BRNPs) are used as a drug-delivery carrier that enables ROS-responsive drug release. Doxorubicin-loaded, biotinylated BRNPs (Dox@bt-BRNPs) with size of ≈100 nm are prepared by a one-step self-assembly process. Dox@bt-BRNPs exhibit accelerated Dox-release behavior in response to ROS and show specific binding as well as anticancer activity against biotin transporter-overexpressing HeLa cells in vitro. bt-BRNPs labeled with cypate, near-infrared dye, show much greater accumulation at tumor sites in HeLa tumor-bearing mice than BRNPs lacking the biotin ligand. Finally, intravenous injection of Dox@bt-BRNPs into HeLa tumor-bearing mice results in greater antitumor efficacy compared with free Dox, bt-BRNPs only, and Dox@BRNPs without causing any appreciable body weight loss. Collectively, these findings suggest that bt-BRNPs hold potential as a new TME-responsive DDS for effectively treating various tumors.

Abstract
The complex tumor microenvironment (TME) in solid tumors forms physiological barriers to the efficient delivery of nanomedicine, leading to limited therapeutic efficacy. Herein, to overcome these physiological barriers and improve the therapeutic effect, we constructed a novel size-adjustable nanoplatform for efficient drug delivery into solid tumors. The smart size-switchable nanoplatform (DGL/DOX@PP) was prepared by conjugating small dendrigraft poly-l-lysine (DGL) to poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(caprolactone) micelles via a matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2)-sensitive peptide. DGL/DOX@PP had an initial size of 100 nm and a nearly neutral charge, rendering the system able to take advantage of the enhanced permeability and retention effect. After extravasation from the tumor vessels, small DGL/DOX nanoparticles (∼30 nm) were rapidly released from DGL/DOX@PP in response to MMP-2 in the TME. This process of particle size alteration greatly enhanced the nanoparticle penetration into both multicellular spheroids (MCSs) and solid tumors. In vivo results demonstrated that compared with small and non-switchable nanoparticles, particles from the size-switchable nanoplatform achieved excellent antitumor efficacy in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. This size-adjustable nanoplatform provides a multifunctional strategy for TME modulation and tumor penetration.

Abstract
Tumors are 3D, composed of cellular agglomerations and blood vessels. Therapies involving nanoparticles utilize specific accumulations due to the leaky vascular structures. However, systemically injected nanoparticles are mostly uptaken by cells located on the surfaces of cancer tissues, lacking deep penetration into the core cancer regions. Herein, an unprecedented strategy, described as injecting "nanoparticle-loaded nanoparticles" to address the long-lasting problem is reported for effective surface-to-core drug delivery in entire 3D tumors. The "nanoparticle-loaded nanoparticle" is a silica nanoparticle (≈150 nm) with well-developed, interconnected channels (diameter of ≈30 nm), in which small gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) (≈15 nm) with programmable DNA are located. The nanoparticle (AuNPs)-loaded nanoparticles (silica): (1) can accumulate in tumors through leaky vascular structures by protecting the inner therapeutic AuNPs during blood circulation, and then (2) allow diffusion of the AuNPs for penetration into the entire surface-to-core tumor tissues, and finally (3) release a drug triggered by cancer-characteristic pH gradients. The hierarchical "nanoparticle-loaded nanoparticle" can be a rational design for cancer therapies because the outer large nanoparticles are effective in blood circulation and in protection of the therapeutic nanoparticles inside, allowing the loaded small nanoparticles to penetrate deeply into 3D tumors with anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Increasing understanding in tumor pathology reveals that tumor microenvironment (TME), which supports tumor progression and poses barriers for available therapies, takes a great responsibility in inefficient treatment and poor prognosis. In recent years, the versatile nanotechnology employed in TME regulation has made great progress. The nanoparticles (NPs) can be tailored as needed to accurately target TME components by distinguishing healthy tissues from malignancy, and to regulate TME to promote tumor regression. Meanwhile, the emerging microRNAs (miRNAs) demonstrate great potentials for TME regulation, but are regrettably restricted by quick degradation. NPs systems enable the successful delivery of miRNA to TME without the limitation, expanding the application of nucleic acid drug. In this review, we summarized recent NPs-based strategies aiming at regulating TME in different ways, including anti-angiogenesis, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAFs) treatment and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) treatment, along with the miRNAs-loaded NPs for TME regulation. Catching and utilizing the features of TME for NPs design can contribute to reversing drug-resistance, optimized drug distribution, and eventually more efficient cancer therapy.

Abstract
This study reports a double-targeting "nanofirework" for tumor-ignited imaging to guide effective tumor-depth photothermal therapy (PTT). Typically, ≈30 nm upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) are enveloped with a hybrid corona composed of ≈4 nm CuS tethered hyaluronic acid (CuS-HA). The HA corona provides active tumor-targeted functionality together with excellent stability and improved biocompatibility. The dimension of UCNP@CuS-HA is specifically set within the optimal size window for passive tumor-targeting effect, demonstrating significant contributions to both the in vivo prolonged circulation duration and the enhanced size-dependent tumor accumulation compared with ultrasmall CuS nanoparticles. The tumors featuring hyaluronidase (HAase) overexpression could induce the escape of CuS away from UCNP@CuS-HA due to HAase-catalyzed HA degradation, in turn activating the recovery of initially CuS-quenched luminescence of UCNP and also driving the tumor-depth infiltration of ultrasmall CuS for effective PTT. This in vivo transition has proven to be highly dependent on tumor occurrence like a tumor-ignited explosible firework. Together with the double-targeting functionality, the pathology-selective tumor ignition permits precise tumor detection and imaging-guided spatiotemporal control over PTT operation, leading to complete tumor ablation under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. This study offers a new paradigm of utilizing pathological characteristics to design nanotheranostics for precise detection and personalized therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Nanotechnology-based antitumor drug delivery systems, known as nanocarriers, have demonstrated their efficacy in recent years. Typically, the size of the nanocarriers is around 100 nm. It is imperative to achieve an optimum size of these nanocarriers which must be designed uniquely for each type of delivery process. For pH-responsive nanocarriers with programmable size, changes in pH (~6.5 for tumor tissue, ~5.5 for endosomes, and ~5.0 for lysosomes) may serve as an endogenous stimulus improving the safety and therapeutic efficacy of antitumor drugs. This review focuses on current advanced pH-responsive nanocarriers with programmable size changes for anticancer drug delivery. In particular, pH-responsive mechanisms for nanocarrier retention at tumor sites, size reduction for penetrating into tumor parenchyma, escaping from endo/lysosomes, and swelling or disassembly for drug release will be highlighted. Additional trends and challenges of employing these nanocarriers in future clinical applications are also addressed.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is a discipline that applies nanoscience and nanotechnology principles to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases. Self-assembly of molecular components is becoming a common strategy in the design and syntheses of nanomaterials for biomedical applications. In both natural and synthetic self-assembled nanostructures, molecular cooperativity is emerging as an important hallmark. In many cases, interplay of many types of noncovalent interactions leads to dynamic nanosystems with emergent properties where the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts. In this review, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the cooperativity principles in multiple self-assembled nanostructures. We discuss the molecular origin and quantitative modeling of cooperative behaviors. In selected systems, we describe the examples on how to leverage molecular cooperativity to design nanomedicine with improved diagnostic precision and therapeutic efficacy in medicine.

[PMID: 29659166 DOI: 10.1002/wnan.1519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 135] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2018] [Revised: 02/28/2018] [Accepted: 03/10/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as an effective means to deliver therapeutic drugs for cancer treatment, as they can preferentially accumulate at tumor site through the enhanced permeability and retention effect. Various forms of NPs including liposomes, polymeric micelles, and inorganic particles have been used for therapeutic applications. However, the therapeutic benefits of nanomedicines are suboptimal. Although many possible reasons may account for the compromised therapeutic efficacy, the inefficient tumor penetration can be a vital obstacle. Tumor develops characteristic pathological environment, such as abnormal vasculature, elevated interstitial fluid pressure, and dense extracellular matrix, which intrinsically hinder the transport of nanomedicines in the tumor parenchyma. The physicochemical properties of the NPs such as size, shape, and surface charge have profound effect on tumor penetration. In this review, we will highlight the factors that affect the transport of NPs in solid tumor, and then elaborate on designing strategies to improve NPs' penetration and uniform distribution inside the tumor interstitium. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
We report a pH-sensitive multifunctional theranostic platform with radiolabeled Pd nanosheets through a simple mixture of ultra-small Pd nanosheets and radioisotopes utilizing the specific adsorption of 131I and 125I on their surfaces.
Radiolabeled nanoparticles (NPs), taking advantage of nanotechnology and nuclear medicine, have shown attractive potential for cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, the high background signal in the liver and long-term toxic effects of radioisotopes caused by the nonselective accumulation of radiolabeled nanoparticles in organs have become the major challenges. Here, we report a pH-sensitive multifunctional theranostic platform with radiolabeled Pd nanosheets through a simple mixture of ultra-small Pd nanosheets and radioisotopes utilizing the strong adsorption of 131I and 125I on their surfaces (denoted as 131I–Pd–PEG or 125I–Pd–PEG). Systematic studies reveal that the labeling efficiency is higher than 98% and the adsorption of radioiodine is more stable in an acidic environment. In vivo studies further validate the pH-dependent behavior of this platform and the enhanced retention of radioisotopes in tumors due to the acidic microenvironment. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images with zero background were successfully achieved in a subcutaneous 4T1 tumor model, an orthotopic LM3 tumor model, and even in a Mst1/2 double-knockout hepatoma model. Moreover, the application of radiolabeled Pd nanosheets for photoacoustic (PA) imaging, and combined photothermal and radiotherapy was also explored. Therefore, this study provides a simple and efficient strategy to solve the critical high background issue of radiolabeled nanoparticles and shows enormous potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Medical science has recently advanced to the point where diagnosis and therapeutics can be carried out with high precision, even at the molecular level. A new field of "precision medicine" has consequently emerged with specific clinical implications and challenges that can be well-addressed by newly developed nanomaterials. Here, a nanoscience approach to precision medicine is provided, with a focus on cancer therapy, based on a new concept of "molecularly-defined cancers." "Next-generation sequencing" is introduced to identify the oncogene that is responsible for a class of cancers. This new approach is fundamentally different from all conventional cancer therapies that rely on diagnosis of the anatomic origins where the tumors are found. To treat cancers at molecular level, a recently developed "microRNA replacement therapy" is applied, utilizing nanocarriers, in order to regulate the driver oncogene, which is the core of cancer precision therapeutics. Furthermore, the outcome of the nanomediated oncogenic regulation has to be accurately assessed by the genetically characterized, patient-derived xenograft models. Cancer therapy in this fashion is a quintessential example of precision medicine, presenting many challenges to the materials communities with new issues in structural design, surface functionalization, gene/drug storage and delivery, cell targeting, and medical imaging.

Abstract
It is a long challenge to develop nanomedicines that simultaneously possess tumor cell selectivity and penetration functions. Here, it is reported that selective cell penetrating peptide (RLWMRWYSPRTRAYGC)-functionalized polymersomes (SCPP-PS) mediate efficient and targeted delivery of methotrexate disodium (MTX) to human lung cancer in vivo. SCPP-PS with an SCPP density of 18.7% is self-crosslinked, has a small size (63-65 nm), and high MTX loading (up to 19.4 wt%), shows selective uptake and fast penetration into A549 lung cancer cells, and efficiently releases MTX intracellularly. Interestingly, MTX-loaded SCPP-PS (MTX-SCPP-PS) displays much lower IC50 than those of MTX-PS and free MTX. Installing SCPP to polymersomes has no detrimental effect to their long blood circulation time but significantly increases drug accumulation in A549 tumor (5.3% injected dose per gram at 8 h post injection). Remarkably, SCPP-PS exhibits deep penetration in to A549 tumors. MTX-SCPP-PS completely inhibits tumor progression and significantly improves survival rates in mice bearing A549 lung tumor xenografts as compared to MTX-PS and free MTX groups (median survival time: 75 vs 45 and 38 d, respectively), without causing noticeable adverse effects. These results highlight that functionalization of nanomedicines with SCPP is a feasible strategy to achieve efficient and targeted tumor therapy.

Abstract
Cancer is now one of the world's leading threats to human health. With the development of oncology in both biology and biomedicine, it has been demonstrated that abnormal physiochemical conditions and dysregulated biosynthetic intermediates in tumor microenvironment (TME) play a pivotal role in enabling tumor cells to defend or evade the damage by traditional clinical tumor therapeutics including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. The fast advances of TME-enabled theranostic nanomedicine have offered promising perspectives, strategies, and approaches for combating cancer based on the novel concept of TME-enabled nanotherapy. In this comprehensive review, the origins of TME (e.g., enhanced permeability and retention effect, overexpressed biosynthetic intermediates, mild acidic nature, redox potentials, hypoxia) are initially introduced and discussed, followed by detailed discussion and overview on the state-of-the-art progresses in TME-enabled antitumor nanotherapies (e.g., chemo/chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy). Finally, the obstacles and challenges of future development on TME-enabled nanotherapies for further clinical translation are outlooked.

Abstract
Developing nanotheranostics responsive to tumor microenvironments has attracted tremendous attention for on-demand cancer diagnosis and treatment. Herein, a facile Mn-doping strategy was adopted to transform mesoporous silica coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) to yolk-like upconversion nanostructures which possess a tumor-responsive biodegradation nature. The huge internal space of the innovated nanocarriers is suitable for doxorubicin (DOX) storage, besides, the Mn-doped shell is sensitive to the intratumoral acidity and reducibility, which enables shell biodegradation and further accelerates the breakage of Si-O-Si bonds within the silica framework. This tumor-responsive shell degradation is beneficial for realizing tumor-specific DOX release. Subsequently, polyoxometalate (POM) nanoclusters that can enhance photothermal conversion in response to the tumor reducibility and acidity were modified on the surface of the silica shell, thereby achieving NIR-enhanced shell degradation and also preventing premature DOX leakage. The as-produced thermal effect of the POM couples with the chemotherapy effect of the released DOX to perform a synergetic chemo-photothermal therapy. Additionally, the shell degradation brings size shrinkage to the nanocarriers, allowing faster nanoparticle diffusion and deeper tumor penetration, which is significant for improving theranostic outcomes. Also, the drastic decline of the red/green (R/G) ratio caused by the DOX release can be used to monitor the DOX release content through a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) method. The MRI effect caused by Mn release together with the MRI/CT/UCL imaging derived from Gd3+/Yb3+/Nd3+/Er3+ co-doped UCNPs under 808 nm laser excitation endow the nanosystem with multiple imaging capability, thus realizing imaging-guided cancer therapy.

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

Abstract
Most of the current nanoparticle-based therapeutics worldwide failing in clinical trials face three major challenges: (i) lack of an optimum drug delivery platform with precise composition, (ii) lack of a method of directly monitoring the fate of a specific drug rather than using any other labelling molecules as a compromise, and (iii) lack of reliable cancer models with high fidelity for drug screen and evaluation. Here, starting from a PP2A inhibitor demethylcantharidin (DMC) and cisplatin, the design of a dual sensitive dual drug backboned shattering polymer (DDBSP) with exact composition at a fixed DMC/Pt ratio for precise nanomedicine is shown. DDBSP self-assembled nanoparticle (DD-NP) can be triggered intracellularly to break down in a chain-shattering manner to release the dual drugs payload. Moreover, DD-NP with extremely high Pt heavy metal content in the polymer chain can directly track the drug itself via Pt-based drug-mediated computer tomography and ICP-MS both in vitro and in vivo. Finally, DD-NP is used to eradicate the tumor burden on a high-fidelity patient-derived lung cancer model for the first time.

Abstract
Here a multifunctional nanoplatform (upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-platinum(IV) (Pt(IV))-ZnFe2 O4 , denoted as UCPZ) is designed for collaborative cancer treatment, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemotherapy, and Fenton reaction. In the system, the UCNPs triggered by near-infrared light can convert low energy photons to high energy ones, which act as the UV-vis source to simultaneously mediate the PDT effect and Fenton's reaction of ZnFe2 O4 nanoparticles. Meanwhile, the Pt(IV) prodrugs can be reduced to high virulent Pt(II) by glutathione in the cancer cells, which can bond to DNA and inhibit the copy of DNA. The synergistic therapeutic effect is verified in vitro and in vivo results. The cleavage of Pt(IV) from UCNPs during the reduction process can shift the larger UCPZ nanoparticles (NPs) to the smaller ones, which promotes the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) and deep tumor penetration. In addition, due to the inherent upconversion luminescence (UCL) and the doped Yb3+ and Fe3+ in UCPZ, this system can serve as a multimodality bioimaging contrast agent, covering UCL, X-ray computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and photoacoustic. A smart all-in-one imaging-guided diagnosis and treatment system is realized, which should have a potential value in the treatment of tumor.

Abstract
Multicellular tumor spheroid models (MCTS) are often coined as 3D in vitro models that can mimic the microenvironment of tissues. MCTS have gained increasing interest in the nano-biotechnology field as they can provide easily accessible information on the performance of nanoparticles without using animal models. Considering that many countries have put restrictions on animals testing, which will only tighten in the future as seen by the recent developments in the Netherlands, 3D models will become an even more valuable tool. Here, an overview on MCTS is provided, focusing on their use in cancer research as most nanoparticles are tested in MCTS for treatment of primary tumors. Thereafter, various types of nanoparticles-from self-assembled block copolymers to inorganic nanoparticles, are discussed. A range of physicochemical parameters including the size, shape, surface chemistry, ligands attachment, stability, and stiffness are found to influence nanoparticles in MCTS. Some of these studies are complemented by animal studies confirming that lessons from MCTS can in part predict the behaviour in vivo. In summary, MCTS are suitable models to gain additional information on nanoparticles. While not being able to replace in vivo studies, they can bridge the gap between traditional 2D in vitro studies and in vivo models.

Abstract
The precise and selective delivery of chemodrugs into tumors represents a critical requirement for anti-cancer therapy. Intelligent delivery systems that are responsive to a single internal or external stimulus often lack sufficient cancer selectivity, which compromises the drug efficacy and induces undesired side effects. To overcome this dilemma, we herein report a cancer-targeting vehicle which allows highly cancer-selective drug release in response to cascaded external (light) and internal (hypoxia) dual triggers. In particular, doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded, hypoxia-dissociable nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared from self-assembled polyethylenimine-nitroimidazole (PEI-NI) micelles that were further co-assembled with hyaluronic acid-Ce6 (HC). Upon accumulation in tumor cells, tumor site-specific light irradiation (660 nm, 10 mW cm-2) generated high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and greatly enhanced the hypoxic levels to induce NP dissociation and accordingly DOX release. A synergistic anti-cancer efficacy between DOX-mediated chemotherapy and Ce6-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) was thus achieved, resulting in reduced side effects to normal tissues/cells. This study therefore provides an effective method to control the cancer-specific drug delivery by responding to cascaded multiple triggers, and it renders promising applications for the programmed combination of chemotherapy and PDT toward cancer treatment.

Abstract
A near-infrared (NIR) induced decomposable polymer nanocapsule is demonstrated. The nanocapsules are fabricated based on layer-by-layer co-assembly of azobenzene functionalized polymers and up/downconversion nanoparticles (U/DCNPs). When the nanocapsules are exposed to 980 nm light, ultraviolet/visible photons emitted by the U/DCNPs can trigger the photoisomerization of azobenzene groups in the framework. The nanocapsules could decompose from large-sized nanocapsule to small U/DCNPs. Owing to their optimized original size (ca. 180 nm), the nanocapsules can effectively avoid biological barriers, provide a long blood circulation (ca. 5 h, half-life time) and achieve four-fold tumor accumulation. It can fast eliminate from tumor within one hour and release the loaded drugs for chemotherapy after NIR-induced dissociation from initial 180 nm capsules to small 20 nm U/DCNPs.

Abstract
Although nanomedicines have been pursued for nearly 20 years, fundamental chemical strategies that seek to optimize both the drug and drug carrier together in a concerted effort remain uncommon yet may be powerful. In this work, two block polymers and one dimeric prodrug molecule were designed to be coassembled into degradable, functional nanocarriers, where the chemistry of each component was defined to accomplish important tasks. The result is a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-protected redox-responsive dimeric paclitaxel (diPTX)-loaded cationic poly(d-glucose carbonate) micelle (diPTX@CPGC). These nanostructures showed tunable sizes and surface charges and displayed controlled PTX drug release profiles in the presence of reducing agents, such as glutathione (GSH) and dithiothreitol (DTT), thereby resulting in significant selectivity for killing cancer cells over healthy cells. Compared to free PTX and diPTX, diPTX@CPGC exhibited improved tumor penetration and significant inhibition of tumor cell growth toward osteosarcoma (OS) lung metastases with minimal side effects both in vitro and in vivo, indicating the promise of diPTX@CPGC as optimized anticancer therapeutic agents for treatment of OS lung metastases.

Abstract
Polymer-based nanoparticles (PNPs) are attractive in part due to their ultra-small size, versatility and target specificity. Therefore, PNPs have been increasingly used in a variety of biomedical applications including diagnoses and therapeutic treatment. In this chapter, we focus on the recent studies (within 5 years) with some new ideas/agent's application in biomedical field and roughly divide applications of PNPs into four categories: (1) Delivery, (2) In vivo imaging, (3) Therapies, and (4) Other applications. First, we introduce how PNPs can enhance the treatment and delivery efficiency of therapeutic agent. Second, how PNPs can be used to help in vivo imaging system for disease tracking and monitor. Then, we reveal some novel PNPs which is able to function as an agent in photodynamic, photothermal, sonodynamic and neuron capture therapy. Furthermore, we also mention some interesting applications of PNPs for biomedical field in individual form or cluster employment, such as immunoswitch particles, surface fabrication. Finally, the challenges and future development of PNPs are also discussed. In delivery section, we focus on how polymer "can be used" as vehicles in delivery application. But, in the section of imaging and therapies, we carried on how polymer as an "adjuvant" for functional enhancement. The biodegradable property of PNPs is the feature that they can be controllable for itself degradation and drug release as a chief actor. Besides, in imaging and therapies application, PNPs can be the support role for helping contrast agent or photo/sonosensitizer to enlarge their imaging or therapeutic effect.

Overcoming obstacles in the tumor microenvironment: Recent advancements in nanoparticle delivery for cancer theranostics. Biomaterials 2017; 156:217-237. [PMID: 29207323 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2017.10.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 242] [Impact Index Per Article: 34.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2017] [Revised: 10/03/2017] [Accepted: 10/13/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Despite rapid advancements in the field of nanotechnology, there is mounting frustration in the scientific community regarding the translational impact of nanomedicine. Modest therapeutic performance of FDA-approved nanomedicines combined with multiple disappointing clinical trials (such as phase III HEAT trial) have raised questions about the future of nanomedicine. Encouraging breakthroughs, however, have been made in the last few years towards the development of new classes of nanoparticles that can respond to tumor microenvironmental conditions and successfully deliver therapeutic agents to cancer cells. Concurrently, a great deal of effort has also been devoted to alter various parameters of tumor pathophysiology to pre-treat tumors before nanoparticles are administered. Such 'priming' treatments improve access of the systemically administered agents to the tumor and promote drug penetration into the deeper layers of tumor tissue. This review will highlight recent advances in cancer nanomedicine exploiting both nanoparticle design and tumor microenvironment modification; and provide a critical perspective on the future development of nanomedicine delivery in oncology.
