SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2401929. [PMID: 38934508 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202401929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Defective bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanosheets, an artificial nanozyme mimicking haloperoxidase activity (hPOD), show promise as eco-friendly, bactericidal, and antimicrofouling materials by enhancing cytotoxic hypohalous acid production from halides and H2O2. Microscopic and spectroscopic characterization reveals that controlled NaOH (upto X = 250 µL) etching of the nearly inactive non-transition metal chalcogenide Bi2Te3 nanosheets creates controlled defects (d), such as Bi3+species, in d-Bi2Te3-X that induces enhanced hPOD activity. d-Bi2Te3-250 exhibits approximately eight-fold improved hPOD than the as-grown Bi2Te3 nanosheets. The antibacterial activity of d-Bi2Te3-250 nanozymes, studied by bacterial viability, show 1, and 45% viability for Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively, prevalent in marine environments. The hPOD mechanism is confirmed using scavengers, implicating HOBr and singlet oxygen for the effect. The antimicrofouling property of the d-Bi2Te3-250 nanozyme has been studied on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm in a lab setting by multiple assays, and also on titanium (Ti) plates coated with the nanozyme mixed commercial paint, exposed to seawater in a real setting. All studies, including direct microscopic evidence, exhibit inhibition of microfouling, up to ≈73%, in the presence of nanozymes. This approach showcases that defect engineering can induce antibacterial, and antimicrofouling activity in non-transition metal chalcogenides, offering an inexpensive alternative to noble metals.

Abstract
Synergistic photodynamic therapy (PDT) with other therapeutic modalities can enhance the therapeutic efficacy of tumor treatment and reduce the adverse effects associated with drug leakage and off-target accumulation. However, shaping combined strategies for synergistic therapy remains challenging. Herein, we developed versatile hybrid liposomes self-assembled from Ce6-lipid conjugates and loaded with the chemo drug doxorubicin (DOX) and ferroptosis inducer Fe3O4 nanoparticles for synergistic PDT/chemo/ferroptosis therapy. Abundant ROS are generated by PDT upon 650 nm light irradiation, Fe3O4-mediated Fenton reaction, and DOX-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, amplifying oxidative stress in cancer cells to disrupt cellular redox homeostasis could accelerate tumor cell death through oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA. Overall, this work highlights liposome-based therapeutic nanoformulations, thus offering a breakthrough redox homeostasis-based synergistic PDT/chemo/ferroptosis therapy for lung cancer.

NADPH Oxidase-Like Nanozyme for High-Efficiency Tumor Therapy Through Increasing Glutathione Consumption and Blocking Glutathione Regeneration. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2303309.

Abstract
To counteract the high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by rapid growth, tumor cells resist oxidative stress by accelerating the production and regeneration of intracellular glutathione (GSH). Numerous studies focus on the consumption of GSH, but the regeneration of GSH will enhance the reduction level of tumor cells to resist oxidative stress. Therefore, inhibiting the regeneration of GSH; while, consuming GSH is of great significance for breaking the redox balance of tumor cells. Herein, a simple termed MnOx-coated Au (AMO) nanoflower, as a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (NOX) nanoenzyme, is reported for efficient tumor therapy. Au nanoparticles exhibit the capability to catalyze the oxidation of NADPH, hindering GSH regeneration; while, concurrently functioning as a photothermal agent. During the process of eliminating intracellular GSH, MnOx releases Mn2+ that subsequently engages in Fenton-like reactions, ultimately facilitating the implementation of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Overall, this NOX enzyme-based nanoplatform enhances ROS generation and disrupts the state of reduction equilibrium, inducing apoptosis and ferroptosis by blocking GSH regeneration and increasing GSH consumption, thereby achieving collaborative treatments involving photothermal therapy (PTT), CDT, and catalytic therapy. This research contributes to NADPH and GSH targeted tumor therapy and showcases the potential of nanozymes.

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
Due to the limitation that natural peroxidase enzymes can only function in relatively mild environments, nanozymes have expanded the application of enzymology in the biological field by dint of their ability to maintain catalytic oxidative activity in relatively harsh environments. At the same time, the development of new and highly efficient composite nanozymes has been a challenge due to the limitations of monometallic particles in applications and the inherently poor enzyme-mimetic activity of composite nanozymes. The inherent enzyme-mimicking activity is due to Au, Ag, and Pt, along with other transition metals. Moreover, the nanomaterials exhibit excellent enzyme-mimicking activity when composited with other materials. Therefore, this paper focuses on composite nanozymes with simulated peroxidase activity that have been prepared using noble metals such as Au, Ag, and Pt and other transition metal nanoparticles in recent years. Their simulated enzymatic activity is utilized for biomedical applications such as glucose detection, cancer cell detection and tumor treatment, and antibacterial applications.

Abstract
Mild photothermal therapy (mPTT), which circumvents the limitations of conventional photothermal therapy, is emerging and exhibits remarkable potential in clinical applications. Nevertheless, mPTT is not able to efficiently eradicate tumors because its therapeutic efficacy is dramatically diminished by stress-induced heat shock proteins (HSP). Herein, a core-shell structured Au@Pd (AP) bimetallic nanozyme was fabricated for reactive oxygen species (ROS) augmentation-induced mPTT. The nanocatalytic AP nanozymes with photothermal conversion performance harbor multienzymatic (catalase, oxidase, and peroxidase) activities to induce ROS storm formation. The generated ROS could suppress the heat-defense response of tumor cells by cleaving HSP. Overall, our work highlights a ROS-regulating strategy to counteract hyperthermia-associated resistance in mPTT.

Cancer Commun (Lond) 2023; 43:1071-1096. [PMID: 37718480 PMCID: PMC10565387 DOI: 10.1002/cac2.12487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
The advent of immunotherapy has significantly reshaped the landscape of cancer treatment, greatly enhancing therapeutic outcomes for multiple types of cancer. However, only a small subset of individuals respond to it, underscoring the urgent need for new methods to improve its response rate. Ferroptosis, a recently discovered form of programmed cell death, has emerged as a promising approach for anti-tumor therapy, with targeting ferroptosis to kill tumors seen as a potentially effective strategy. Numerous studies suggest that inducing ferroptosis can synergistically enhance the effects of immunotherapy, paving the way for a promising combined treatment method in the future. Nevertheless, recent research has raised concerns about the potential negative impacts on anti-tumor immunity as a consequence of inducing ferroptosis, leading to conflicting views within the scientific community about the interplay between ferroptosis and anti-tumor immunity, thereby underscoring the necessity of a comprehensive review of the existing literature on this relationship. Previous reviews on ferroptosis have touched on related content, many focusing primarily on the promoting role of ferroptosis on anti-tumor immunity while overlooking recent evidence on the inhibitory effects of ferroptosis on immunity. Others have concentrated solely on discussing related content either from the perspective of cancer cells and ferroptosis or from immune cells and ferroptosis. Given that both cancer cells and immune cells exist in the tumor microenvironment, a one-sided discussion cannot comprehensively summarize this topic. Therefore, from the perspectives of both tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells, we systematically summarize the current conflicting views on the interplay between ferroptosis and anti-tumor immunity, intending to provide potential explanations and identify the work needed to establish a translational basis for combined ferroptosis-targeted therapy and immunotherapy in treating tumors.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a recently recognized form of cell death with distinct features in terms of morphology, biochemistry, and molecular mechanisms. Unlike other types of cell death, ferroptosis is characterized by iron dependence, reactive oxygen species accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Recent studies have demonstrated that selective autophagy plays a vital role in the induction of ferroptosis, including ferritinophagy, lipophagy, clockophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy. Emerging evidence has indicated the involvement of ferroptosis in tumorigenesis through regulating various biological processes, including tumor growth, metastasis, stemness, drug resistance, and recurrence. Clinical and preclinical studies have found that novel therapies targeting ferroptosis exert great potential in the treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Elimination of tumor cells using carbonate nanomaterials with tumor microenvironment-responsive capacity has been explored as an effective strategy. However, their therapeutic outcomes are always compromised by the relatively low intratumoral accumulation and limited synthesis method. Herein, a novel kind of basic copper carbonate nanosheets was designed and prepared using a green synthesis method for photoacoustic imaging-guided tumor apoptosis and ferroptosis therapy. These nanosheets were synthesized with the assistance of dopamine and ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) and the loading of glucose oxidase (GOx). NH4HCO3 could not only provide an alkaline environment for the polymerization of dopamine but also supply carbonates for the growth of nanosheets. The formed nanosheets displayed good acid and near-infrared light responsiveness. After intercellular uptake, they could be degraded to release Cu2+ and GOx, generating hydroxyl radicals through a Cu+-mediated Fenton-like reaction, consuming glucose, up-regulating H2O2 levels, and down-regulating GSH levels. Tumor elimination could be achieved by hydroxyl radical-induced apoptosis and ferroptosis. More amusingly, this synthesis method can be extended to several kinds of mono-element and multi-element carbonate nanomaterials (e.g., Fe, Mn, and Co), showing great potential for further tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Chemodynamic immunotherapy that utilizes catalysts to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) for killing tumor cells and arousing antitumor immunity has received considerable attention. However, it is still restricted by low ROS production efficiency and insufficient immune activation, due to intricate redox homeostasis in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a metalloprotein-like hybrid nanozyme (FeS@GOx) is designed by in situ growth of nanozyme (ferrous sulfide, FeS) in a natural enzyme (glucose oxidase, GOx) to amplify ROS cascade for boosting chemodynamic immunotherapy. In FeS@GOx, GOx allows the conversion of endogenous glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which provides favorable increasing hydrogen peroxide for subsequent Fenton reaction of FeS nanozymes, thus reinforcing ROS production. Notably, hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) release is activated by the gluconic acid generation-related pH decrease, which can suppress the activity of endogenous thioredoxin reductase and catalase to further inhibit ROS elimination. Thus, FeS@GOx can sustainably amplify ROS accumulation and perturb intracellular redox homeostasis to improve chemodynamic therapy and trigger robust immunogenic cell death for effective immunotherapy combined with immune checkpoint blockade. This work proposes a feasible H2 S amplified ROS cascade strategy employing a bioinspired hybrid nanozyme, providing a novel pathway to multi-enzyme-mediated TME modulation for precise and efficient chemodynamic immunotherapy.

Abstract
Bismuth Telluride (Bi2Te3) layered structure results in extraordinary features in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. However, Bi2Te3 synthesis with reliable stability and biocompatibility in biological systems was the major challenge that limited its biological application. Herein, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) or graphitic carbon nitride (CN) nanosheets were incorporated into Bi2Te3 matrix to improve exfoliation. Bi2Te3 nanoparticles (NPs) and its novel nanocomposites (NCs): CN@Bi2Te3 and CN-RGO@Bi2Te3 were solvothermally synthesized, physiochemically characterized and assessed for their anticancer, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities. X-ray diffraction depicted Bi2Te3 rhombohedral lattice structure. Fourier-transform infrared and Raman spectra confirmed NC formation. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed 13 nm thickness and 400-600 nm diameter of hexagonal, binary, and ternary nanosheets of Bi2Te3-NPs/NCs. Energy dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy revealed the presence of Bi, Te, and carbon atoms in the tested NPs with negatively charged surfaces as depicted by zeta sizer. CN-RGO@Bi2Te3-NC displayed the smallest nanodiameter (359.7 nm) with the highest Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area and antiproliferative activity against MCF-7, HepG2 and Caco-2. Bi2Te3-NPs had the greatest scavenging activity (96.13 ± 0.4%) compared to the NCs. The NPs inhibitory activity was greater against Gram-negative bacteria than that of Gram-positive bacteria. Integration of RGO and CN with Bi2Te3-NPs enhanced their physicochemical properties and therapeutic activities giving rise to their promising capacity for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma, with poor survival after metastasis, is considered the most common primary bone cancer in adolescents. Notwithstanding the efforts of researchers, its five-year survival rate has only shown limited improvement, suggesting that existing therapeutic strategies are insufficient to meet clinical needs. Notably, immunotherapy has shown certain advantages over traditional tumor treatments in inhibiting metastasis. Therefore, managing the immune microenvironment in osteosarcoma can provide novel and valuable insight into the multifaceted mechanisms underlying the heterogeneity and progression of the disease. Additionally, given the advances in nanomedicine, there exist many advanced nanoplatforms for enhanced osteosarcoma immunotherapy with satisfactory physiochemical characteristics. Here, we review the classification, characteristics, and functions of the key components of the immune microenvironment in osteosarcoma. This review also emphasizes the application, progress, and prospects of osteosarcoma immunotherapy and discusses several nanomedicine-based options to enhance the efficiency of osteosarcoma treatment. Furthermore, we examine the disadvantages of standard treatments and present future perspectives for osteosarcoma immunotherapy.

Abstract
Background In the past 5 years, ferroptosis-associated cancer immunity has been attracted significant research interest. Objective This study was performed to identify and analyze the global output trend for ferroptosis in cancer immunity. Methods Relevant studies were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection on Feb 10th, 2023. The VOSviewer and Histcite softwares were utilized to perform the visual bibliometric and deep mining analyses. Results A total of 694 studies (530 articles (76.4%) and 164 (23.6%) review articles) were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection for visualization analyses. The top 3 key keywords were ferroptosis, prognosis and immunotherapy. The top 30 local citation score (LCS) authors were all collaborators of Zou Weiping. Deep mining of 51 nanoparticle-related articles showed that BIOMATERIALS was the most popular journal. The primary goal of gene signatures related to ferroptosis and cancer immunity was to establish prognostic predictions. Conclusion There has been a significant increase in ferroptosis-associated immune publications in the recent 3 years. The key research hotspots include mechanisms, prediction and therapeutic outcomes. The most influential article was from the Zou Weiping's group, which proposed that system xc-mediated ferroptosis is induced by CD8(+) T cell-secreted IFNγ after PD-L1 blockage for immunotherapy. The frontier of research in the field of ferroptosis-associated immune is the study on nanoparticle and gene signature The limitation of this bibliometric study is that publications on this topic are few.
