Talanta 2025; 281:126820. [PMID: 39260247 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 08/01/2024] [Accepted: 09/04/2024] [Indexed: 09/13/2024]
Abstract
With the rapid expansion of the health food industry, the scope of safety supervision has also increased. However, traditional instrument detection methods cannot meet the requirements for the rapid on-site detection. Hence, the development of a rapid, precise, and simple method for the analysis of illegal additives in health foods is of great importance. In this work, by using FeCo-MOFs as mimetic peroxidase to mediate Au nanorods (Au NRs) etching, a dual-mode immunosensor based on multi-colorimetric and photothermal signals was fabricated to detect furosemide (FUR). In multi-colorimetric channel, the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peaks of Au NRs shifted blue, resulting in multi-color changes from red to gray to blue and finally to purple. In photothermal channel, the photothermal effect of Au NRs decreased, resulting in temperature changes. In the range of 1.0 × 10-5-1.0 × 10-2 μg/mL, both LSPR peak blue shift and temperature changes were linearly correlated with the logarithm of FUR concentration, with the detection limits were 4.9 × 10-6 and 8.5 × 10-6 μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, its concentration can be accurately and intuitively assessed through the observation of vivid colorimetric changes. This advancement offers a highly promising approach for the on-site detection of FUR, facilitating timely and efficient monitoring, thereby significantly enhancing regulatory compliance and ensuring consumer safety.

Abstract
Developing multifunctional materials which could simultaneously possess anti-bacterial ability and electromagnetic (EM) absorption ability during medical care is quite essential since the EM waves radiation and antibiotic-resistant bacteria are threatening people's health. In this work, the multifunctional carbon fiber/Ti3C2Tx MXene (CM) were synthesized through repeated dip-coating and following in-situ growth method. The as-fabricated CF/MXene displayed outstanding EM wave absorption and highly efficient photothermal converting ability. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of -57.07 dB and ultra-broad absorption of 7.74 GHz could be achieved for CM composites. By growth of CoNi-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) sheets onto MXene, the absorption bandwidth for carbon fiber/Ti3C2Tx MXene layered double hydroxides (CML) could be reach 5.44 GHz, which could cover the whole Ku band. The excellent photothermal effect endow the CM composites with excellent antibacterial performance. The antibacterials tests indicated that nearly 100 % bactericidal efficiency against E. acoil and S. aureus was obtained for the CM composite after exposure to near-infrared region (NIR) irradiation. This work provides a promising candidate to combat medical device-related infections and EM pollution.

Abstract
Bimetallic nanozymes exhibited multi-enzyme activities, but glutathione (GSH) overexpression and weak catalytic capability restricted their catalytic therapeutic performance. Thus, this study developed a smart nanozyme (AuPt@MnO2) with a core-shell structure by coating manganese dioxide (MnO2) on the gold-platinum (AuPt) nanozyme (AuPt@MnO2) surface to enhance catalytic therapy. In this nanozyme, AuPt possessed triple-enzyme activities, i.e., catalase, peroxidase, and glucose oxidase, which greatly improved oxygen, hydroxyl radicals (·OH), and hydrogen peroxide generation, due to cyclic reactions. Moreover, GSH consumption degraded the MnO2 shell, which then enhanced ·OH generation of Mn2+. More importantly, the near-infrared-II (NIR-II) photothermal performance of AuPt@MnO2 with a high conversion efficiency of 38.7 % further promoted multi-enzyme activities and enhanced catalytic therapy. Moreover, combining NIR-II photothermal therapy and enhancing catalytic therapy decreased the cell viability to 10.8 %, and thereby, the tumors were cleared. Thus, the AuPt@MnO2 smart nanoplatform developed in this study exhibited NIR-II photothermal-promoted multi-enzyme activities and excellent antitumor efficacy, which will be promising for enhancing catalytic therapy.

Abstract
The commonly employed strategies for engineering second near-infrared (NIR-II) organic phototheranostic agents are based on expanding conjugated backbone length, strengthening donor (D)-acceptor (A) effect, or forming J-aggregates. We constructed the D-A-D' structure by incorporating strong electron-donating methoxy and tetraphenylethene (TPE) moieties on the electron-deficient Aza-BODIPY core, and simultaneously expanded the π-conjugation effect by introducing thiophene groups, to obtain a dye BDP-TPE. Next, the nanoparticles P-TPE were prepared via the assembly of BDP-TPE with amphiphilic polypeptides (mPEG2000-P(Asp)10), and successfully constructed the J-aggregates. The obtained P-TPE exhibited strong absorption and fluorescence with maxima at 808 and 1018 nm, respectively, with a conspicuous absolute quantum yield of 0.241 %. Moreover, P-TPE also showed excellent biocompatibility, and high photothermal conversion efficiency of 61.15 %, and excellent resistance to pH, long-term storage, and photobleaching. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that P-TPE exhibited good biocompatibility and effectively achieved NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided PTT with complete tumor ablation under 808 nm laser irradiation. These results provided good evidence for the use of P-TPE as a NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided PTT therapeutic agent in vivo.

A highly sensitive dual-mode lateral flow immunoassay based on plasmonic hollow Ag/Au nanostars enhancing light absorption. Talanta 2024; 280:126683. [PMID: 39151315 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 08/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
The conventional lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) is limited by low sensitivity due to the insufficient brightness of Au NPs. To address this problem, noble metal nanomaterials with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and synthetic tunability are potential signal outputs for LFIA, which can achieve better optical properties by adjusting the preparation conditions. Herein, this study prepared the hollow silver/gold nano-stars (HAg/Au NSts) as LFIA signal output via the galvanic replacement method. HAg/Au NSts with anisotropic hollow alloy nanostructures exhibit a wide visible light absorption band and great NIR thermal conversion efficiency (η = 37.32 %), which endows them with enhanced colorimetric and photothermal signals. Further, we constructed a colorimetric-photothermal (CM-PT) dual-signal HAg/Au NSts-LFIA and chose staphylococcal enterotoxin B as the target analyte. The linear range of HAg/Au NSts-LFIA is 0.19-100 ng mL-1, and the limit of detection (LOD) is up to 0.29 ng mL-1 and 0.09 ng mL-1 in the colorimetric and photothermal modes respectively. Compared with the conventional Au NPs-LFIA, HAg/Au NSts-CM/PT-LFIA effectively improved the detection performance of LFIA. In addition, HAg/Au NSts-LFIA also showed satisfactory sensitivity (vLOD = 0.78 ng mL-1) and recovery (89.06-114.74 %) in milk and pork samples. Therefore, this work provides a new shape design idea for noble metal nanomaterials in biosensor applications.

Abstract
Owing to the dense extracellular matrix and high interstitial fluid pressure in the tumor microenvironment, methods which enhance the permeation and retention of nano drugs into liver tumors remain unsatisfactory for successful tumor treatment. We designed a near-infrared (NIR)- and ultrasound (US)-triggered Pt/Pd-engineered "cluster bomb" (Pt/Pd-CB) which actively penetrates liver cancer cell membranes and achieves photothermal and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). The physical forces generated by the fast expansion and collapse of perfluoropentane nanodroplets eject "sub bombs" (Pt/Pd nanoalloys) into liver cancer cells upon activation by NIR and US. Pt/Pd nanoalloys can then convert H2O2 into O2 to alleviate hypoxia and boost SDT efficiency while exhibiting a highly efficient photothermal response under NIR irradiation. Our findings might especially be promising for the treatment of solid tumors.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising technology that can achieve the thermal ablation of tumors and induce immunogenic cell death (ICD). However, relying solely on the antitumor immune responses caused by PTT-induced ICD is insufficient to suppress tumor metastasis and recurrence effectively. Fortunately, multifunctional nanoformulation-based synergistic photothermal immunotherapy can eliminate primary and metastatic tumors and inhibit tumor recurrence for a long time. Herein, we select polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles to serve as the carrier for our nanomedicine as well as a potent photothermal agent and modulator of macrophage polarization. PDA nanoparticles are loaded with the insoluble immune adjuvant Imiquimod (R837) to construct PDA(R837) nanoformulations. These straightforward yet highly effective nanoformulations demonstrate excellent performance, allowing for successful triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment through synergistic photothermal immunotherapy. Moreover, experimental results showed that PDA(R837) implementation of PTT is effective in the thermal ablation of primary tumors while causing ICD and releasing R837, further promoting dendritic cell (DC) maturation and activating the systemic antitumor immune response. Furthermore, PDA(R837) nanoformulations inhibit tumor metastasis and recurrence and achieve M1 phenotype macrophage polarization, achieving long-term and excellent antitumor efficacy. Therefore, the structurally simple PDA(R837) nanoformulations provide cancer treatment and have excellent clinical translational application prospects.

Abstract
Multimodal near-infrared II (NIR-II) theranostics combined with nanotechnology have emerged as promising treatments for cancer due to their noninvasive and high spatiotemporal nature. Traditional NIR-II theranostics typically comprise useless and massive inert carriers, resulting in low drug loading capacity, reduced therapeutic effects, and potential biotoxicity. To overcome these limitations, this work reports carrier-free NIR-II theranostics simultaneously with high drug loading capacity and multimodal NIR-II imaging capabilities for cancer phototheranostics in the NIR-II window. Carrier-free BTA nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared by self-assembling the NIR-II responsive conjugated oligomer BTA without adding coating agents; these NPs exhibited 100% drug loading and high-performance NIR-II theranostic capabilities. Cancer cell membranes are camouflaged on carrier-free BTA NPs to provide homologous targeting ability, enhanced stability, and 77.8% drug loading. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have indicated that biomimetic NPs provide efficient triple-modal guidance for NIR-II fluorescence, photoacoustic, and photothermal imaging and complete tumor elimination via photothermal therapy (PTT). Additionally, theranostics-based treatments with good biosecurity are demonstrated. This study contributes a new strategy for the design of high-drug-loading NIR-II theranostics and further promotes the clinical translation of theranostic agents.

Through an exhaustive suite of experiments, we have charted the therapeutic horizons of RDIR780 in the realms of tumor photothermal synergistic immunotherapy and targeted drug delivery. Preliminary in vitro cellular assays have revealed that RDIR780 not only achieves remarkable uptake by tumor cells but also triggers swift tumor cell death under the influence of laser irradiation. Subsequent in vivo fluorescence imaging studies have corroborated the nanoparticles' propensity for tumor-specific accumulation, thereby bolstering the case for precision medicine. The results of the precise imaging techniques of therapeutic trials conducted on mice with implanted tumors have underscored the profound impact of RDIR780 when synergized with an anti-PD-L1 antibody. This synergistic approach has shown to fairly eradicate tumor growth, marking a significant stride in the battle against cancer. This pioneering endeavor not only lays down a formidable groundwork for the evolution of long-circulating photothermal therapeutic nanoparticles but also heralds a new era of transformative clinical interventions.

Abstract
The low permeability and heterogeneous distribution of drugs (including nanomedicines) have limited their deep penetration into solid tumors. Herein we report the design of gold nanoparticles with virus-like spikes (AuNVs) to mimic viral shapes and facilitate tumor penetration. Mechanistic studies revealed that AuNVs mainly entered cells through macropinocytosis, then transported to the Golgi/endoplasmic reticulum system via Rab11-regulated pathway, and finally exocytosed through recycling endosomes, leading to high cellular uptake, effective transcytosis, and deep tumor penetration compared to gold nanospheres (AuNPs) and gold nanostars (AuNSs). The high tumor accumulation and deep tumor penetration of mitoxantrone (MTO) facilitated by AuNVs endowed effective chemophotothermal therapy when exposed to a near-infrared II laser, significantly reducing tumor sizes in a mouse model of colorectal cancer. This study reveals a potent mechanism of viral-like structures in tissue penetration and highlights their potential as effective drug delivery carriers.

Abstract
Currently, traditional monotherapy for cancer often results in indiscriminate attacks on the body, leading to the emergence of new health problems. To confront these challenges, multimodal combination therapy has become necessary. However, how to develop new smart nanomaterials through green synthesis methods, delivering drugs while simultaneously synergizing multimodal combination therapies for tumor treatment, remains a topic of great significance. In this study, a biomimetic composite nanomaterial (RM-Cu/P) composed of mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) as the core and red blood cell membranes (RBCMs) as the shell was synthesized as a drug carrier to deliver doxorubicin (DOX) while achieving synergistic chemotherapy, photothermal and chemodynamic therapy (CT/PTT/CDT). Herein, the nanoparticles were extensively characterized to examine their morphological characteristics, elemental composition, and drug-carrying capacity. Notably, the coating of RBCM reduced the toxicity of the RM-Cu/P@DOX nanoparticles, improved their targeting ability and prolonged their circulation time in vivo. The Cu-doped nanoparticles were capable of initiating a Fenton-like reaction to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) for CDT, while the photothermal conversion efficiency (η) reached 45.20 % under NIR laser irradiation. Subsequently, the particles were examined by in vivo and in vitro experimental studies in cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, ROS levels, lysosomal escape, and mouse tumor model to evaluate their potential application in antitumor. Compared with monotherapy, the RM-Cu/P@DOX nanoparticles had multiple-stimulation response properties under redox, pH, and NIR, which exhibited the advantage of combined trimodal therapy, resulting in remarkable synergistic antitumor efficacy. In conclusion, this innovative platform exhibited promising applications in smart drug delivery and synergistic treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Solar energy is a primary form of renewable energy, and photothermal conversion is a direct conversion process with tunable conversion efficiency. Among various kinds of photothermal conversion materials, porous organic polymers (POP) are widely investigated owing to their controllable molecular design, tailored porous structures, good absorption of solar light, and low thermal conductivity.

In this review, a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in POP for photothermal conversion is provided. The micro molecular structure characteristics and macro morphology of POP are designed for applications such as seawater desalination, latent heat energy storage, phototherapy and photodynamic therapy, and drug delivery. Besides, a probe into the underlying mechanism of structural design for constructing POP with excellent photothermal conversion performance is methodicalized. Finally, the remaining challenges and prospective opportunities for the future development of POP for solar energy-driven photothermal conversion applications are elucidated.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumor would ineluctably cause oxidative stress and related inflammation in adjacent normal tissues, leading to a discounted therapeutic outcome. To address this issue, herein an innovative therapeutic strategy that integrates photothermal anticancer and normal cell protection is developed. A new type of nitrogen-doped carbon dot (ET-CD) has been synthesized in one step by hydrothermal method using ellagic acid and L-tyrosine as reaction precursors. The as-prepared ET-CD exhibits high photothermal conversion efficiency and good photothermal stability. After intravenous injection, ET-CD can accumulate at the tumor site and the hyperthermia generated under near infrared laser irradiation effectively ablates tumor tissues, thereby significantly inhibiting tumor growth. Importantly, owing to the inherited antioxidant activity from ellagic acid, ET-CD can remove reactive oxygen and nitrogen species produced in the body and reduce the levels of inflammatory factors induced by oxidative stress, so as to alleviate the damage caused by heat-induced inflammation to normal cells and tissues while photothermal anticancer. These attractive features of ET-CD may open the exploration of innovative therapeutic strategies to promote the clinical application of PTT.

Abstract
The biomimetic nanoparticles (NPs) possessing abilities of tumor targeting and multimodal therapy show great potential for efficient combat of colon cancer. Herein, we developed a multifunctional biomimetic nanoplatform (Fe3O4@PDA@CaCO3-ICG@CM) based on CaCO3-modified magnetic polydopamine (PDA) loaded with indocyanine green (ICG), which was encapsulated by a mouse lymphoma cell (EL4) membrane (CM) expressing functional proteins (i.e., lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1, LFA-1; transforming growth factor-β receptor, TGF-βR; programmed cell death protein 1, PD-1; and factor related apoptosis ligand, FasL). Under magnetic attraction and LFA-1/PD-1-mediated endocytosis, Fe3O4@PDA@CaCO3-ICG@CM efficiently targeted CT26 colon tumor cells. The released calcium ion (Ca2+) from the NPs triggered by acidic tumor microenvironment, the enhanced photothermal effect contributed by the combination of PDA and ICG, and FasL's direct killing effect together induced tumor cells apoptosis. Moreover, the apoptosis of CT26 cells induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) to promote the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) to activate CD4+/CD8+ T cells, thereby fighting against tumor cells, which could further be boosted by programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockage and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) scavenging by Fe3O4@PDA@CaCO3-ICG@CM. As a result, in vivo satisfactory therapeutic effect was observed for CT26 tumor bearing-mice treated with Fe3O4@PDA@CaCO3-ICG@CM under laser irradiation and magnetic attraction, which could eradicate primary tumors and restrain distant tumors through dual tumor targeting-assisted multimodal therapy and eliciting adaptive antitumor immune response, generating the immune memory for inhibiting tumor metastasis and recurrence. Taken together, the multifunctional biomimetic nanoplatform exhibits superior antitumor effects, providing an insightful strategy for the field of nanomaterial-based treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are potential cancer treatment methods that are minimally invasive with high specificity for malignant cells. Emerging research has concentrated on the application of metal nanoparticles encapsulated in porphyrin and their derivatives to improve the efficacy of these treatments. Gold and silver nanoparticles have distinct optical properties and biocompatibility, which makes them efficient materials for PDT and PTT. Conjugation of these nanoparticles with porphyrin derivatives increases their light absorption and singlet oxygen generation that create a synergistic effect that increases phototoxicity against cancer cells. Porphyrin encapsulation with gold or silver nanoparticles improves their solubility, stability, and targeted tumor delivery. This paper provides comprehensive review on the design, functionalization, and uses of plasmonic silver and gold nanoparticles in biomedicine and how they can be conjugated with porphyrins for synergistic therapeutic effects. Furthermore, it investigates this dual-modal therapy's potential advantages and disadvantages and offers perspectives for future prospects. The possibility of developing gold, silver, and porphyrin nanotechnology-enabled biomedicine for combination therapy is also examined.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis, characterized by the abnormal proliferation of synovial cells and extensive macrophage infiltration, is a chronic inflammatory disease. Molecular hydrogen, known for its antioxidant properties, has shown promise in eliminating reactive oxygen species. However, the low solubility and bioavailability of hydrogen limit the effectiveness of this therapy. To overcome these issues, we developed a novel yolk-shell heterostructure, H-AAZS (Au/Ag@ZnS modified hyaluronic acid), utilizing a hydrothermal cation exchange process. Through ion doping, semiconductor hybridization, and Schottky barriers in H-AAZS, photocatalysis for hydrogen generation has been successfully implemented using 660 nm laser irradiation. Additionally, the H-AAZS demonstrate the capacity for mild photothermal therapy, inducing apoptosis in synovial cells with Au's hot electrons with 660 nm laser irradiation. This strategy not only improves the abnormal proliferation of synovial cells but also avoids the exacerbation of inflammation caused by thermal stimulation. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments validate the synergistic effects of hydrogen production mediated anti-inflammatory responses, macrophage polarization and photothermal therapy. Therefore, this work represents a significant advancement as it ingeniously harnesses photocatalysis to modulate the synovial microenvironment while mitigating the side effects associated with photothermal therapy. This nanocrystal provides new and valuable insights into the potential treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) provide targeted approaches to cancer treatment, but each therapy has inherent limitations such as insufficient tissue penetration, uneven heat distribution, extreme hypoxia, and overexpressed HSP90 in tumor cells. To address these issues, herein, by encapsulating the IR780 dye and glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme within ZIF-8 nanoparticles, we created a versatile system capable of combining photodynamic and enhanced photothermal therapy. The integration of the IR780 dye facilitated the generation of reactive oxygen species and hyperthermia upon light activation, enabling dual-mode cancer cell ablation. Moreover, GOx catalyzes the decomposition of glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide, leading to the inhibition of ATP production and downregulation of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) expression, sensitizing cancer cells to heat-induced cytotoxicity. This synergistic combination resulted in significantly improved therapeutic outcomes. Both in vitro and in vivo results validated that the nanoplatform demonstrated superior specificity and favorable therapeutic responses. Our innovative approach represents a promising strategy for overcoming current limitations in cancer treatments and offers the potential for clinical translation in the future.

Abstract
In response to the pressing need for more efficient and targeted cancer therapies, this study presents the development of biodegradable hydroxyapatite/polyaniline (HAp/PANI) nanocomposite drug carriers for near-infrared (NIR)-induced drug delivery. The synthesis involved loading polyaniline onto mesoporous hydroxyapatite spheres, resulting in high drug loading capacity and tunable NIR responsiveness. The HAp/PANI spheres exhibited superior photothermal properties compared to pristine HAp under NIR irradiation, along with excellent biocompatibility. Importantly, the drug release behavior could be precisely controlled by adjusting NIR power and irradiation time, leading to enhanced anticancer efficacy against HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells. These findings highlight the potential of HAp/PANI mesoporous spheres as promising drug carriers for NIR-responsive cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanomedicine has emerged as a promising avenue for advancing cancer treatment, but the challenge of mitigating its in vivo side effects necessitates the development of innovative structures and materials. Recent investigation has unveiled nanogels as particularly compelling candidates, characterized by a porous, three-dimensional network architecture that exhibits exceptional drug loading capacity. Beyond this, nanogels boast a substantial specific surface area and can be tailored with specific chemical functionalities. Consequently, nanogels are frequently engineered as a multi-modal synergistic platform for combating cancer, wherein photothermal therapy stands out due to its capacity to penetrate deep tissues and achieve localized tumor eradication through the application of elevated temperatures. In this review, we delve into the synthesis of diverse varieties of photothermal nanogels capable of controlled drug release triggered by either chemical or physical stimuli. It also summarizes their potential for synergistic integration with photothermal therapy alongside other therapeutic modalities to realize effective tumor ablation. Moreover, we analyze the primary mechanisms underlying the contribution of photothermal nanogels to cancer treatment while underscoring their adeptness in regulating therapeutic temperatures for repairing bone defects resulting from tumor-associated trauma. Envisioned as an auspicious strategy in the realm of cancer therapy, photothermal nanogels hold promise for furnishing controlled drug delivery and precise thermal ablation capabilities.

Abstract
The translation of silver-based nanotechnology 'from bench to bedside' requires a deep understanding of the molecular aspects of its biological action, which remains controversial at low concentrations and non-spherical morphologies. Here, we present a hemocompatibility approach based on the effect of the distinctive electronic charge distribution in silver nanoparticles (nanosilver) on blood components. According to spectroscopic, volumetric, microscopic, dynamic light scattering measurements, pro-coagulant activity tests, and cellular inspection, we determine that at extremely low nanosilver concentrations (0.125-2.5μg ml-1), there is a relevant interaction effect on the serum albumin and red blood cells (RBCs). This explanation has its origin in the surface charge distribution of nanosilver particles and their electron-mediated energy transfer mechanism. Prism-shaped nanoparticles, with anisotropic charge distributions, act at the surface level, generating a compaction of the native protein molecule. In contrast, the spherical nanosilver particle, by exhibiting isotropic surface charge, generates a polar environment comparable to the solvent. Both morphologies induce aggregation at NPs/bovine serum albumin ≈ 0.044 molar ratio values without altering the coagulation cascade tests; however, the spherical-shaped nanosilver exerts a negative impact on RBCs. Overall, our results suggest that the electron distributions of nanosilver particles, even at extremely low concentrations, are a critical factor influencing the molecular structure of blood proteins' and RBCs' membranes. Isotropic forms of nanosilver should be considered with caution, as they are not always the least harmful.

Abstract
The use of TiO2 as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy is limited due to TiO2 generates reactive oxygen species only under UV irradiation. The TiO2 surface has been modified with different functional groups to achieve activation at longer wavelengths (visible light). This work reports the synthesis, characterization, and biological toxicity assay of TiO2 nanoparticles functionalized with folic acid and combined with a zinc phthalocyanine to obtain a nano-photosensitizer for its application in photodynamic therapy for glioblastoma cancer treatment. The nano-photosensitizer was prepared using the sol-gel method. Folic acid and zinc phthalocyanine were added during the hydrolysis and condensation of titanium butoxide, which was the TiO2 precursor. The samples obtained were characterized by several microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. An in vitro toxicity test was performed using the MTT assay and the C6 cellular line. The results of the characterization showed that the structure of the nanoparticles corresponds mainly to the anatase phase. Successful functionalization with folic acid and an excellent combination with phthalocyanine was also achieved. Both folic acid-functionalized TiO2 and phthalocyanine-functionalized TiO2 had no cytotoxic effect on C6 cells (even at high concentrations) in comparison to Cis-Pt, which was very toxic to C6 cells. The materials behaved similarly to the control (untreated cells). The cell viability and light microscopy images suggest that both materials could be considered biocompatible and mildly phototoxic in these cells when activated by light.

Abstract
A key challenge to enhance the therapeutic outcome of photothermal therapy (PTT) is to improve the efficiency of passive targeted accumulation of photothermal agents at tumor sites. Carbon dots (CDs) are an ideal choice for application as photothermal agents because of their advantages such as adjustable fluorescence, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and excellent biocompatibility. Here, we synthesized polylysine-modified near-infrared (NIR)-emitting CDs assemblies (plys-CDs) through post-solvothermal reaction of NIR-emitting CDs with polylysine. The encapsulated structure of plys-CDs was confirmed by determining morphological, chemical, and luminescent properties. The particle size of CDs increased to approximately 40 ± 8 nm after polylysine modification and was within the size range appropriate for achieving superior enhanced permeability and retention effect. Plys-CDs maintained a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 54.9 %, coupled with increased tumor site accumulation, leading to a high efficacy in tumor PTT. Thus, plys-CDs have a great potential for application in photothermal ablation therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Gefitinib (GET) is a revolutionary targeted treatment inhibiting the epidermal growth factor receptor's tyrosine kinase action by competitively inhibiting the ATP binding site. In preclinical trials, several lung cancer cell lines and xenografts have demonstrated potential activity with GET. Response rates neared 25% in preclinical trials for non-small cell lung cancer. Here, we describe the one-pot synthesis of GET@ZIF-8 nanocomposites (NCs) in pure water, encapsulating zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8). This method developed NCs with consistent morphology and a loading efficiency of 9%, resulting in a loading capacity of 20 wt%. Cell proliferation assay assessed the anticancer effect of GET@ZIF-8 NCs on A549 and H1299 cells. The different biochemical staining (Calcein-AM and PI and 4',6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole nuclear staining) assays assessed the cell death and morphological examination. Additionally, the mode of apoptosis was evaluated by mitochondrial membrane potential (∆ψm) and reactive oxygen species. Therefore, the study concludes that GET@ZIF-8 NCs are pledged to treat lung cancer cells.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) holds great potential in the field of cancer treatment due to its high specificity and low invasiveness. However, the low conversion efficiency, inadequate tumor accumulation, and limited cellular uptake continue to impede PTT effectiveness in treating tumors. The present study focuses on the utilization of quinoxaline and its nanoparticles to develop an organic semiconducting photothermal agent (PAQI-BDTT) for tumor photothermal therapy. To achieve this, PAQI-BDTT was encapsulated within liposomes modified with cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (cRGD) peptide targeting tumors (named T-BDTT-Lipo). Notably, T-BDTT-Lipo demonstrated a positive photothermal conversion efficiency of 74% when exposed to an 808 nm laser, along with NIR-II fluorescence imaging capabilities. The efficacy of T-BDTT-Lipo in tumor tissue accumulation and precise targeting of malignant cells has been confirmed through both in vitro and in vivo experiments guided by fluorescence imaging. Under single dose and 808 nm light irradiation, T-BDTT-Lipo generated local intracellular hyperthermia at the tumor site. The elevated temperature additionally exerted a significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth and recurrence, thereby extending the survival duration of mice harboring tumors. The therapeutic nanosystem (T-BDTT-Lipo) proposed in this work demonstrates the enormous potential of semiconducting photothermal agents in photothermal therapy, laying the foundation for the next clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer recurrence following surgical resection is a major cause of treatment failure. Finding effective methods to prevent postoperative recurrence and wound infection is an important component of successful surgery. With the development of new nanotechnology, more treatment options have been provided for postoperative adjuvant therapy. This study presents an innovative hydrogel system that stimulates tumoricidal immunity after surgical resection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and prevents cancer relapse. RESULTS The hydrogel system is based on the excellent photothermal conversion performance of single-atom platinum (CN-Pt) along with the delivery and release of the chemotherapy drug, gemcitabine (GEM). The system is coated onto the wound surface after tumor removal with subsequent near-infrared (NIR) photothermal therapy, which efficiently induces necroptosis of residual cancer cells, amplifies the levels of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and increases the number of M1 macrophages. The significantly higher levels of phagocytic macrophages enhance tumor immunogenicity and sensitize cancer cells to CD8 + T-cell immunity to control postoperative recurrence, which has been verified using an animal model of postoperative lung cancer recurrence. The CN-Pt-GEM-hydrogel with NIR can also inhibit postoperative wound infection. CONCLUSIONS These findings introduce an alternative strategy for supplementing antitumor immunity in patients undergoing resection of NSCLC tumors. The CN-Pt-GEM-hydrogel with the NIR system also exhibits good biosafety and may be adaptable for clinical application in relation to tumor resection surgery, wound tissue filling, infection prevention, and recurrence prevention.

Abstract
Heterostructure nanozymes as antibiotic-free antimicrobial agents exhibit great potential for multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains elimination. However, realization of heterostructure antimicrobials with enhanced interfacial interaction for synergistically amplified antibacterial therapy is still a great challenge. Herein, oxygen-vacancy-enriched glucose modified MoOx (G-MoOx) is exploited as a reducing agent to spontaneously reduce Ag (I) into Ag (0) that in situ grows onto the surface of G-MoOx. The resultant Ag doped G-MoOx (Ag/G-MoOx) heterostructure displays augmenting photothermal effect and NIR-enhanced oxidase-like activity after introducing Ag nanoparticles. What's more, NIR hyperthermia accelerate Ag+ ions release from Ag nanoparticles. Introduction of Ag greatly enhances antimicrobial activities of Ag/G-MoOx against MDR bacteria, especially the hybrid loading with 1 wt% Ag NPs exhibiting antibacterial efficacy up to 99.99% against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, 1×106 CFU mL-1).

Abstract
Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are heterobifunctional molecules that have the capability to induce specific protein degradation. While playing a revolutionary role in effectively degrading the protein of interest (POI), PROTACs encounter certain limitations that impede their clinical translation. These limitations encompass off-target effects, inadequate cell membrane permeability, and the hook effect. The advent of nanotechnology presents a promising avenue to surmount the challenges associated with conventional PROTACs. The utilization of nano-proteolysis targeting chimeras (nano-PROTACs) holds the potential to enhance specific tissue accumulation, augment membrane permeability, and enable controlled release. Consequently, this approach has the capacity to significantly enhance the controllable degradation of target proteins. Additionally, they enable a synergistic effect by combining with other therapeutic strategies. This review comprehensively summarizes the structural basis, advantages, and limitations of PROTACs. Furthermore, it highlights the latest advancements in nanosystems engineered for delivering PROTACs, as well as the development of nano-sized PROTACs employing nanocarriers as linkers. Moreover, it delves into the underlying principles of nanotechnology tailored specifically for PROTACs, alongside the current prospects of clinical research. In conclusion, the integration of nanotechnology into PROTACs harbors vast potential in enhancing the anti-tumor treatment response and expediting clinical translation.

[PMID: 38516170 PMCID: PMC10950690 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Nanotechnology for tumor diagnosis and optical therapy has attracted widespread interest due to its low toxicity and convenience but is severely limited due to uncontrollable tumor targeting. In this work, homologous cancer cell membrane-camouflaged multifunctional hybrid metal coordination nanoparticles (DRu/Gd@CM) were prepared for MRI-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumors. Bimetallic coordination nanoparticles are composed of three functional modules: dopamine, Ru(dcbpy)3Cl2 and GdCl3, which are connected through 1,4-Bis[(1H-imidazole-1-yl)methyl]benzene (BIX). Their morphology can be easily controlled by adjusting the ratio of precursors. Optimistically, the intrinsic properties of the precursors, including the photothermal properties of polydopamine (PDA), the magnetic resonance (MR) response of Gd3+, and the singlet oxygen generation of Ru(dcbpy)3Cl2, are well preserved in the hybrid metal nanoparticles. Furthermore, the targeting of homologous cancer cell membranes enables these coordinated nanoparticles to precisely target tumor cells. The MR imaging capabilities and the combination of PDT and PTT were demonstrated in in vitro experiments. In addition, in vivo experiments indicated that the nanoplatform showed excellent tumor accumulation and therapeutic effects on mice with subcutaneous tumors, and could effectively eliminate tumors within 14 days. Therefore, it expanded the new horizon for the preparation of modular nanoplatform and imaging-guided optical therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising cancer therapy modality with significant advantages such as precise targeting, convenient drug delivery, better efficacy, and minimal adverse effects. Photothermal therapy effectively absorbs the photothermal transducers in the near-infrared region (NIR), which induces the photothermal effect to work. Although PTT has a better role in tumor therapy, it also suffers from low photothermal conversion efficiency, biosafety, and incomplete tumor elimination. Therefore, the use of nanomaterials themselves as photosensitizers, the targeted modification of nanomaterials to improve targeting efficiency, or the combined use of nanomaterials with other therapies can improve the therapeutic effects and reduce side effects. Notably, noble metal nanomaterials have attracted much attention in PTT because they have strong surface plasmon resonance and an effective absorbance light at specific near-infrared wavelengths. Therefore, they can be used as excellent photosensitizers to mediate photothermal conversion and improve its efficiency. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the key role played by noble metal nanomaterials in tumor photothermal therapy. It also describes the major challenges encountered during the implementation of photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related death in men, and most PCa patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy will progress to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) due to the lack of efficient treatment. Recently, lots of research indicated that photothermal therapy (PTT) was a promising alternative that provided an accurate and efficient prostate cancer therapy. A photothermic agent (PTA) is a basic component of PPT and is divided into organic and inorganic PTAs. Besides, the combination of PTT and other therapies, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), immunotherapy (IT), chemotherapy (CT), etc., provides an more efficient strategy for PCa therapy. Here, we introduce basic information about PTT and summarize the PTT treatment strategies for prostate cancer. Based on recent works, we think the combination of PPT and other therapies provides a novel possibility for PCa, especially CRPC clinical treatment.

Abstract
Among the various anti-cancer treatments, photothermal therapy (PTT) is gaining traction as it is a non-invasive treatment. PTT is a treatment technique involving the use of a laser to raise the temperature of the target tumor until it dies. In this study, the effects of PTT under various conditions of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) occurring in the skin were numerically analyzed and optimized. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with different radii were injected into the center of the SCC. Subsequently, the diffusion behavior of the AuNPs was analyzed to calculate the distribution area of the AuNPs that changed over time. Furthermore, at each elapsed time point after injection, the temperature distribution in the tissue was calculated, as treatment was performed using varying laser intensities. The diffusion coefficient of AuNPs was calculated using the Stokes-Einstein equation, and diffusion behavior of AuNPs in biological tissues was analyzed using the convection-diffusion equation. Additionally, temperature distribution was analyzed using the Pennes bioheat equation. The effect of PTT under each condition was quantitatively analyzed using apoptotic variables. As a result, As the radius of AuNPs increased, the optimal treatment start time was derived as 2 h, 8 h, 8 h, and 12 h, respectively, and the laser intensity at that time was derived as 0.44 W, 0.46 W, 0.42 W, and 0.42 W, respectively. The study findings will provide reference for the optimization of the efficacy of PTT.

Abstract
Developing biomaterials capable of promoting bone regeneration in bacteria-infected sites is of utmost urgency for periodontal disease therapies. Here we produce a hybrid hydrogel by integrating CuS nanoparticles (CuSNPs), which could kill bacteria through photothermal therapy (PTT) triggered by a near infrared (NIR) light, and a gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel, which is injectable and biocompatible. Specifically, CuSNPs were precipitated by chitosan (CS) firstly, then grafted with methacrylic anhydride (MA) to form CuSNP@CS-MA, which was photo-crosslinked with GelMA to synthesize hybrid hydrogels (GelMA/CuSNP). The hybrid hydrogels exhibited a broad-spectrum antibacterial property that could be spatiotemprorally manipulated through applying a NIR light. Their mechanical properties were adjustable by controlling the concentration of CuSNPs, enabling the hydrogels to become more adapted to the oral diseases. Meanwhile, the hybrid hydrogels showed good cytocompatibility in vitro and improved hemostasis in vivo. Moreover, they accelerated alveolar osteogenesis and vascular genesis, successfully treating periodontis in four weeks in a rat model. GelMA/CuSNP hydrogels showed a broad-spectrum sterilization ability via PTT in vitro and outstanding antibacterial property in vivo, suggesting that the hybrid hydrogels could function in the challenging, bacteria-rich, oral environment. Such injectable hybrid hydrogels, capable of achieving both facilitated osteogenesis and NIR-inducible sterilization, represent a new biomaterial for treating periodontitis.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a global health problem that closely related to various diseases threatening human life. Although antibiotic therapy has been the mainstream treatment method for various bacterial infectious diseases for decades, the increasing emergence of bacterial drug resistance has brought enormous challenges to the application of antibiotics. Therefore, developing novel antibacterial strategies is of great importance. By producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) with photosensitizers (PSs) under light irradiation, antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as a non-invasive and promising approach for treating bacterial infections without causing drug resistance. However, the insufficient therapeutic penetration, poor hydrophilicity, and poor biocompatibility of traditional PSs greatly limit the efficacy of aPDT. Recently, studies have found that nanomaterials with characteristics of favorable photocatalytic activity, surface plasmonic resonance, easy modification, and high drug loading capacity can improve the therapeutic efficacy of aPDT. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of nanomaterials-mediated aPDT and summarize the representative nanomaterials in aPDT, either as PSs or carriers for PSs. In addition, the combination of advanced nanomaterials-mediated aPDT with other therapies, including targeted therapy, gas therapy, and multidrug resistance (MDR) therapy, is reviewed. Also, the concerns and possible solutions of nanomaterials-based aPDT are discussed. Overall, this review may provide theoretical basis and inspiration for the development of nanomaterials-based aPDT.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely studied for biomedical applications due to their excellent properties, such as good biocompatibility, degradability, interlayer ion exchangeability, high loading capacity, pH-responsive release, and large specific surface area. Furthermore, the flexibility in the structural composition and ease of surface modification of LDHs makes it possible to develop specifically functionalized LDHs to meet the needs of different applications. In this review, the recent advances of LDHs for biomedical applications, which include LDH-based drug delivery systems, LDHs for cancer diagnosis and therapy, tissue engineering, coatings, functional membranes, and biosensors, are comprehensively discussed. From these various biomedical research fields, it can be seen that there is great potential and possibility for the use of LDHs in biomedical applications. However, at the same time, it must be recognized that the actual clinical translation of LDHs is still very limited. Therefore, the current limitations of related research on LDHs are discussed by combining limited examples of actual clinical translation with requirements for clinical translation of biomaterials. Finally, an outlook on future research related to LDHs is provided.

Abstract
Microglia play a pivotal role in the central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis, acting as housekeepers and defenders of the surrounding environment. These cells can elicit their functions by shifting into two main phenotypes: pro-inflammatory classical phenotype, M1, and anti-inflammatory alternative phenotype, M2. Despite their pivotal role in CNS homeostasis, microglia phenotypes can influence the development and progression of several CNS disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injuries, and even brain cancer. It is thus clear that the possibility of modulating microglia activation has gained attention as a therapeutic tool against many CNS pathologies. Nanomaterials are an unprecedented tool for manipulating microglia responses, in particular, to specifically target microglia and elicit an in situ immunomodulation activity. This review focuses the discussion on two main aspects: analyzing the possibility of using nanomaterials to stimulate a pro-inflammatory response of microglia against brain cancer and introducing nanostructures able to foster an anti-inflammatory response for treating neurodegenerative disorders. The final aim is to stimulate the analysis of the development of new microglia nano-immunomodulators, paving the way for innovative and effective therapeutic approaches for the treatment of CNS disorders.

Abstract
Biodegradable nanomaterials can significantly improve the safety profile of nanomedicine. Germanium nanoparticles (Ge NPs) with a safe biodegradation pathway are developed as efficient photothermal converters for biomedical applications. Ge NPs synthesized by femtosecond-laser ablation in liquids rapidly dissolve in physiological-like environment through the oxidation mechanism. The biodegradation of Ge nanoparticles is preserved in tumor cells in vitro and in normal tissues in mice with a half-life as short as 3.5 days. Biocompatibility of Ge NPs is confirmed in vivo by hematological, biochemical, and histological analyses. Strong optical absorption of Ge in the near-infrared spectral range enables photothermal treatment of engrafted tumors in vivo, following intravenous injection of Ge NPs. The photothermal therapy results in a 3.9-fold reduction of the EMT6/P adenocarcinoma tumor growth with significant prolongation of the mice survival. Excellent mass-extinction of Ge NPs (7.9 L g-1 cm-1 at 808 nm) enables photoacoustic imaging of bones and tumors, following intravenous and intratumoral administrations of the nanomaterial. As such, strongly absorbing near-infrared-light biodegradable Ge nanomaterial holds promise for advanced theranostics.

Cancer remains one of the major causes of death globally, with one out of every six deaths attributed to the disease. The impact of cancer is felt on psychological, physical, and financial levels, affecting individuals, communities, and healthcare institutions. Conventional cancer treatments have many challenges and inadequacies. Nanomedicine, however, presents a promising solution by not only overcoming these problems but also offering the advantage of combined therapy for treatment-resistant cancers. Nanoparticles specifically engineered for use in nanomedicine can be efficiently targeted to cancer cells through a combination of active and passive techniques, leading to superior tumor-specific accumulation, enhanced drug availability, and reduced systemic toxicity. Among various nanoparticle formulations designed for cancer treatment, gold nanoparticles have gained prominence in the field of nanomedicine due to their photothermal, photodynamic, and immunologic effects without the need for photosensitizers or immunotherapeutic agents. To date, there is no comprehensive literature review that focuses on the photothermal, photodynamic, and immunologic effects of gold nanoparticles. In this review, significant attention has been devoted to examining the parameters pertaining to the structure of gold nanoparticles and laser characteristics, which play a crucial role in influencing the efficacy of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Moreover, this article provides insights into the success of PTT and PDT mediated by gold nanoparticles in primary cancer treatment, as well as the immunological effects of PTT and PDT on metastasis and recurrence, providing a promising strategy for cancer therapy. In summary, gold nanoparticles, with their unique properties, have the potential for clinical application in various cancer therapies, including the treatment of primary cancer, recurrence and metastasis.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor. In the clinic, usual strategies for OS treatment include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. However, all of these therapies have complications that cannot be ignored. Therefore, the search for better OS treatments is urgent. Black phosphorus (BP), a rising star of 2D inorganic nanoparticles, has shown excellent results in OS therapy due to its outstanding photothermal, photodynamic, biodegradable and biocompatible properties. This review aims to present current advances in the use of BP nanoparticles in OS therapy, including the synthesis of BP nanoparticles, properties of BP nanoparticles, types of BP nanoparticles, and modification strategies for BP nanoparticles. In addition, we have discussed comprehensively the application of BP in OS therapy, including single, dual, and multimodal synergistic OS therapies, as well as studies about bone regeneration and antibacterial properties. Finally, we have summarized the conclusions, limitations and perspectives of BP nanoparticles for OS therapy.

Abstract
Phototherapies are promising for noninvasive treatment of aggressive tumors, especially when combining heat induction and oxidative processes. Herein, we show enhanced phototoxicity of gold shell-isolated nanorods conjugated with toluidine blue-O (AuSHINRs@TBO) against human colorectal tumor cells (Caco-2) with synergic effects of photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic therapies (PDT). Mitochondrial metabolic activity tests (MTT) performed on Caco-2 cell cultures indicated a photothermal effect from AuSHINRs owing to enhanced light absorption from the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The phototoxicity against Caco-2 cells was further increased with AuSHINRs@TBO where oxidative processes, such as hydroperoxidation, were also present, leading to a cell viability reduction from 85.5 to 39.0%. The molecular-level mechanisms responsible for these effects were investigated on bioinspired tumor membranes using Langmuir monolayers of Caco-2 lipid extract. Polarization-modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) revealed that the AuSHINRs@TBO incorporation is due to attractive electrostatic interactions with negatively charged groups of the Caco-2 lipid extract, resulting in the expansion of surface pressure isotherms. Upon irradiation, Caco-2 lipid extract monolayers containing AuSHINRs@TBO (1:1 v/v) exhibited ca. 1.0% increase in surface area. This is attributed to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their interaction with Caco-2 lipid extract monolayers, leading to hydroperoxide formation. The oxidative effects are facilitated by AuSHINRs@TBO penetration into the polar groups of the extract, allowing oxidative reactions with carbon chain unsaturations. These mechanisms are consistent with findings from confocal fluorescence microscopy, where the Caco-2 plasma membrane was the primary site of the cell death induction process.

Abstract
We presented a NIR-driven Janus Cu2O/Au nanomotor. The nanomotor has a truncated octahedral structure. By asymmetric Au evaporation, the light response range of Cu2O nanomotor is extended to near-infrared range, and the speed of Cu2O/Au nanomotors under NIR is significantly increased. In promoting apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, except the nanotoxicity of Cu2O itself, the Au layer enhances the photothermal properties, allowing Cu2O/Au nanomotors to induce apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by heating them. On the other hand, a Schottky barrier formed at the interface of Cu2O and Au, preventing the recombination of electrons, which makes more electrons react with biomolecules to produce toxic ROS to kill hepatocellular cells. The killing rate of hepatocellular carcinoma cells reached 87 % by the combined effect of nanotoxicity inhibition of proliferation and photothermal & photodynamic therapy (PTT & PDT). Nanomotors in combination with multiple approaches are explored as a new treatment to tumor in this article.

Acta Biomater 2024; 177:431-443. [PMID: 38307478 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.01.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
The noble metal NPs that are currently applied to photothermal therapy (PTT) have their photoexcitation location mainly in the NIR-I range, and the low tissue penetration limits their therapeutic effect. The complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) makes it difficult to inhibit tumor growth completely with a single therapy. Although TME has a high level of H2O2, the intratumor H2O2 content is still insufficient to catalyze the generation of sufficient hydroxide radicals (‧OH) to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects. The AuPd-GOx-HA (APGH) was obtained from AuPd bimetallic nanodumbbells modified by glucose oxidase (GOx) and hyaluronic acid (HA) for photothermal enhancement of tumor starvation and cascade catalytic therapy in the NIR-II region. The CAT-like activity of AuPd alleviates tumor hypoxia by catalyzing the decomposition of H2O2 into O2. The GOx-mediated intratumoral glucose oxidation on the one hand can block the supply of energy and nutrients essential for tumor growth, leading to tumor starvation. On the other hand, the generated H2O2 can continuously supply local O2, which also exacerbates glucose depletion. The peroxidase-like activity of bimetallic AuPd can catalyze the production of toxic ‧OH radicals from H2O2, enabling cascade catalytic therapy. In addition, the high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 50.7 %) of APGH nanosystems offers the possibility of photothermal imaging-guided photothermal therapy. The results of cell and animal experiments verified that APGH has good biosafety, tumor targeting, and anticancer effects, and is a precious metal nanotherapeutic system integrating glucose starvation therapy, nano enzyme cascade catalytic therapy, and PTT therapy. This study provides a strategy for photothermal-cascade catalytic synergistic therapy combining both exogenous and endogenous processes. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: AuPd-GOx-HA cascade nanoenzymes were prepared as a potent cascade catalytic therapeutic agent, which enhanced glucose depletion, exacerbated tumor starvation and promoted cancer cell apoptosis by increasing ROS production through APGH-like POD activity. The designed system has promising photothermal conversion ability in the NIR-II region, simultaneously realizing photothermal-enhanced catalysis, PTT, and catalysis/PTT synergistic therapy both in vitro and in vivo. The present work provides an approach for designing and developing catalytic-photothermal therapies based on bimetallic nanoenzymatic cascades.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the worst prognosis of all breast cancers, and it is difficult to progress through traditional chemotherapy. Therefore, the treatment of TNBC urgently requires agents with effective diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities. In this study, we obtained programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody conjugated gold nanoshelled poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanocapsules (NCs) encapsulating doxorubicin (DOX) (DOX@PLGA@Au-PD-L1 NCs). PLGA NCs encapsulating DOX were prepared by a modified single-emulsion oil-in-water (O/W) solvent evaporation method, and gold nanoshells were formed on the surface by gold seed growth method, which were coupled with PD-L1 antibodies by carbodiimide method. The fabricated DOX@PLGA@Au-PD-L1 NCs exhibited promising contrast enhancement in vitro ultrasound imaging. Furthermore, DOX encapsulated in NCs displayed good pH-responsive and photo-triggered drug release properties. After irradiating 200 μg/mL NCs solution with a laser for 10 min, the solution temperature increased by nearly 23°C, indicating that the NCs had good photothermal conversion ability. The targeting experiments confirmed that the NCs had specific target binding ability to TNBC cells overexpressing PD-L1 molecules. Cell experiments exhibited that the agent significantly reduced the survival rate of TNBC cells through photochemotherapy combination therapy. As a multifunctional diagnostic agent, DOX@PLGA@Au-PD-L1 NCs could be used for ultrasound targeted contrast imaging and photochemotherapy combination therapy of TNBC cells, providing a promising idea for early diagnosis and treatment of TNBC.

Abstract
Hyperthermic nanomedicines are particularly relevant for tackling human cancer, providing a valuable alternative to conventional therapeutics. The early-stage preclinical performance evaluation of such anti-cancer treatments is conventionally performed in flat 2D cell cultures that do not mimic the volumetric heat transfer occurring in human tumors. Recently, improvements in bioengineered 3D in vitro models have unlocked the opportunity to recapitulate major tumor microenvironment hallmarks and generate highly informative readouts that can contribute to accelerating the discovery and validation of efficient hyperthermic treatments. Leveraging on this, herein we aim to showcase the potential of engineered physiomimetic 3D tumor models for evaluating the preclinical efficacy of hyperthermic nanomedicines, featuring the main advantages and design considerations under diverse testing scenarios. The most recent applications of 3D tumor models for screening photo- and/or magnetic nanomedicines will be discussed, either as standalone systems or in combinatorial approaches with other anti-cancer therapeutics. We envision that breakthroughs toward developing multi-functional 3D platforms for hyperthermia onset and follow-up will contribute to a more expedited discovery of top-performing hyperthermic therapies in a preclinical setting before their in vivo screening.

Abstract
Cancer is currently one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Due to the inevitable shortcomings of conventional treatments, photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted great attention as an emerging and non-invasive cancer treatment method. Photothermal agents (PTAs) is a necessary component of PTT to play its role. It accumulates at the tumor site through appropriate methods and converts the absorbed light energy into heat energy effectively under near-infrared light irradiation, thus increasing the temperature of the tumor area and facilitating ablation of the tumor cells. Compared to inorganic photothermal agents, which have limitations such as non-degradability and potential long-term toxicity in vivo, organic photothermal agents exhibit excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, thus showing promising prospects for the application of PTT in cancer treatment. And these organic photothermal agents can also be engineered into nanoparticles to improve their water solubility, extend their circulation time in vivo, and specifically target tumors. Moreover, further combination of PTT with other treatment methods can effectively enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment and alleviate the side effects associated with single treatments. This article briefly introduces several common types of organic photothermal agents and their nanoparticles, and reviews the applications of PTT based on organic photothermal agents in combination with chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, and multimodal combination therapy for tumor treatment, which expands the ideas and methods in the field of tumor treatment.

Abstract
Wastewater discharged from industrial, agricultural and livestock production contains a large number of harmful bacteria and organic pollutants, which usually cause serious harm to human health. Therefore, it is urgent to find a "one-stone-two-birds" strategy with good antimicrobial and pollutant degradation activity for treating waste water. In this paper, SiO2@AuAg/Polydopamine (SiO2@AuAg/PDA) core/shell nanospheres, which possessed synergistic "Ag+-release-photothermal" antibacterial and catalytic behaviors, have been successfully prepared via a simple in situ redox polymerization method. The SiO2@AuAg/PDA nanospheres showed good catalytic activity in reducing 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol (0.576 min-1 mg-1). Since the AuAg nanoclusters contain both gold and silver elements, they provided a high photothermal conversion efficiency (48.1%). Under NIR irradiation (808 nm, 2.5 W-2), the catalytic kinetics were improved by 2.2 times. Besides the intrinsic Ag+-release, the photothermal behavior originating from the AuAg bimetallic nanoclusters and the PDA component of SiO2@AuAg/PDA also critically improved the antibacterial performance. Both E. coli and S. aureus could be basically killed by SiO2@AuAg/PDA nanospheres at a concentration of 90 μg mL-1 under NIR irradiation. This "Ag+-release-photothermal" coupled sterilization offers a straightforward and effective approach to antimicrobial therapy, and further exhibits high potential in nanomedicine for combating bacterial contamination in environmental treatment and biological fields.

Abstract
Carbon dots@noble metal nanoparticle composites are formed by combining carbon dots and metal nanoparticles using various strategies. Carbon dots exhibit a reducing ability and function as stabilisers; consequently, metal-ion solutions can be directly reduced by them to synthesise gold, silver, and gold-silver alloy particles. Carbon dots@gold/silver/gold-silver particle composites have demonstrated the potential for several practical applications owing to their superior properties and simple preparation process. Until now, several review articles have been published to summarise fluorescent carbon dots or noble metal nanomaterials. Compared with metal-free carbon dots, carbon dots@noble metal nanoparticles have a unique morphology and structure, resulting in new physicochemical properties, which allow for sensing, bioimaging, and bacteriostasis applications. Therefore, to promote the effective development of carbon dots@noble metal nanoparticle composites, this paper primarily reviews carbon dots@gold/silver/gold-silver alloy nanoparticle composites for the first time in terms of the following aspects. (1) The synthesis strategies of carbon dots@noble metal nanoparticle composites are outlined. The principle and function of carbon dots in the synthesis strategies are examined. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods and composites are analysed. (2) The characteristics and properties of such composites are described. (3) The applications of these composite materials are summarised. Finally, the potentials and limitations of carbon dots@noble metal nanoparticle composites are discussed, thus laying the foundation for their further development.

Abstract
Thermoplasmonics has emerged as an extraordinarily versatile tool with profound applications across various biological domains ranging from medical science to cell biology and biophysics. The key feature of nanoscale plasmonic heating involves remote activation of heating by applying laser irradiation to plasmonic nanostructures that are designed to optimally convert light into heat. This unique capability paves the way for a diverse array of applications, facilitating the exploration of critical biological processes such as cell differentiation, repair, signaling, and protein functionality, and the advancement of biosensing techniques. Of particular significance is the rapid heat cycling that can be achieved through thermoplasmonics, which has ushered in remarkable technical innovations such as accelerated amplification of DNA through quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Finally, medical applications of photothermal therapy have recently completed clinical trials with remarkable results in prostate cancer, which will inevitably lead to the implementation of photothermal therapy for a number of diseases in the future. Within this review, we offer a survey of the latest advancements in the burgeoning field of thermoplasmonics, with a keen emphasis on its transformative applications within the realm of biosciences.

Abstract
Nanomedicine has significantly advanced precise tumor therapy, providing essential technical blessing for active drug accumulation, targeted consignment, and mitigation of noxious side effects. To enhance anti-tumor efficacy, the integration of multiple therapeutic modalities has garnered significant attention. Here, we designed an innovative CoFeSe2 @DMSA@FA nanocatalyst with Se vacancies (abbreviated as CFSDF), which exhibits synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), leading to amplified tumor oxidative stress and enhanced photothermal effects. The multifunctional CFSDF nanocatalyst exhibits the remarkable ability to catalyze the Fenton reaction within the acidic tumor microenvironment, efficiently converting hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) into highly harmful hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH). Moreover, the nanocatalyst effectively diminishes GSH levels and ameliorates intracellular oxidative stress. The incorporation of FA modification enables CFSDF to evade immune detection and selectively target tumor tissues. Numerous in vitro and in vivo investigations have consistently demonstrated that CFSDF optimizes its individual advantages and significantly enhances therapeutic efficiency through synergistic effects of multiple therapeutic modalities, offering a valuable and effective approach to cancer treatment.

Abstract
Highly soluble salts and gas mediated therapies are emerging antitumor strategies. However, the therapeutic efficacy remains restricted by difficulty in delivering them to the tumor site and poorly controlled release in deep tissues. Here, an intelligent wireless photoactivated targeted nanosystem is designed for delivering LiCl and H2 to tumors for therapy. LiCl causes cell death by inhibiting the activity of GSK-3β. H2 selectively interacts with reactive oxygen species in the tumor, leading to redox stress, which induces apoptosis. The significant heat generated by the nanosystem not only kills tumor cells but also accelerates the dissolution of LiCl and the release of H2. The rapid dissolution of LiCl leads to a surge in intracellular osmotic pressure, which further intensifies the redox stress response and enhances the efficiency of therapy. The nanosystem shows efficient tumor therapeutic capability via synergistic effects of hyperthermia/redox stress amplification/GSK-3β activity inhibition.
