Abstract
Meticulously engineered nanomaterials achieve significant advances in the diagnosis and therapy of solid tumors by improving tumor delivery efficiency; and thereby, enhancing imaging and therapeutic efficacy. Currently, polydopamine (PDA) attracts widespread attention because of its biocompatibility, simplicity of preparation, abundant surface groups, and high photothermal conversion efficiency, which can be applied in drug delivery, photothermal therapy, theranostics, and other nanomedicine fields. Inspired by PDA structures that are rich in catechol and amino functional groups that can coordinate with various metal ions, which have charming qualities and characteristics, metal-coordinated PDA structures are exploited for tumor theranostics, but are not thoroughly summarized. Herein, this review summarizes the recent progress in the fabrication of metal-coordinated PDA structures and their availabilities in tumor imaging and therapy, with further in-depth discussion of the challenges and future perspectives of metal-coordinated PDA structures, with the aim that this systematic review can promote interdisciplinary intersections and provide inspiration for the further growth and clinical translation of PDA materials.

Abstract
Rapid tissue differentiation at the molecular level is a prerequisite for precise surgical resection, which is of special value for the treatment of malignant tumors, such as glioblastoma (GBM). Herein, a SERS-active microneedle is prepared by modifying glutathione (GSH)-responsive molecules, 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), on the surface of Au@Ag substrates for the distinction of different GBM tissues. Since the Raman signals on the surface of the DTNB@Au@Ag microneedle can be collected by both portable and benchtop Raman spectrometers, the distribution of GSH in different tissues at centimeter scale can be displayed through Raman spectroscopy and Raman imaging, and the entire analysis process can be accomplished within 12 min. Accordingly, in vivo brain tissues of orthotopic GBM xenograft mice and ex vivo tissues of GBM patients are accurately differentiated with the microneedle, and the results are well consistent with tissue staining and postoperative pathological reports. In addition, the outline of tumor, peritumoral, and normal tissues can be indicated by the DTNB@Au@Ag microneedle for at least 56 days. Considering that the tumor tissues are quickly discriminated at the molecular level without the restriction of depth, the DTNB@Au@Ag microneedle is promising to be a powerful intraoperative diagnostic tool for surgery navigation.

Glutathione degradable manganese-doped polydopamine nanoparticles for photothermal therapy and cGAS-STING activated immunotherapy of lung tumor. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 663:167-176.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT), which utilizes nanomaterials to harvest laser energy and convert it into heat to ablate tumor cells, has been rapidly developed for lung tumor treatment, but most of the PTT-related nanomaterials are not degradable, and the immune response associated with PTT is unclear, which leads to unsatisfactory results of the actual PTT. Herein, we rationally designed and prepared a manganese ion-doped polydopamine nanomaterial (MnPDA) for immune-activated PTT with high efficiency. Firstly, MnPDA exhibited 57.2% photothermal conversion efficiency to accomplish high-efficiency PTT, and secondly, MnPDA can be stimulated by glutathione (GSH) to the release of Mn2+, and it can produce ·OH in a Fenton-like reaction with the overexpressed H2O2 and stimulate the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway. These two synergistically can effectively remove lung tumor cells that have not been ablated by PTT, resulting in an 86.7% tumor suppression rate under laser irradiation of MnPDA in vivo, and further significantly activated the downstream immune response, as evidenced by an increased ratio of cytotoxic T cells to immunosuppressive Treg cells. Conclusively, the GSH degradable MnPDA nanoparticles can be used for photothermal therapy and cGAS-STING-activated immunotherapy of lung tumors, which provides a new idea and strategy for the future treatment of lung tumors.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and ferroptosis show significant potential in tumor treatment. However, their therapeutic efficacy is often hindered by the oxygen-deficient tumor microenvironment and the challenges associated with efficient intracellular drug delivery into tumor cells. Toward this end, this work synthesized perfluorocarbon (PFC)-modified Pluronic F127 (PFC-F127), and then exploits it as a carrier for codelivery of photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6) and the ferroptosis promoter sorafenib (Sor), yielding an oxygen self-supplying nanoplatform denoted as Ce6-Sor@PFC-F127. The PFCs on the surface of the micelle play a crucial role in efficiently solubilizing and delivering oxygen as well as increasing the hydrophobicity of the micelle surface, giving rise to enhanced endocytosis by cancer cells. The incorporation of an oxygen-carrying moiety into the micelles enhances the therapeutic impact of PDT and ferroptosis, leading to amplified endocytosis and cytotoxicity of tumor cells. Hypotonic saline technology was developed to enhance the cargo encapsulation efficiency. Notably, in a murine tumor model, Ce6-Sor@PFC-F127 effectively inhibited tumor growth through the combined use of oxygen-enhanced PDT and ferroptosis. Taken together, this work underscores the promising potential of Ce6-Sor@PFC-F127 as a multifunctional therapeutic nanoplatform for the codelivery of multiple cargos such as oxygen, photosensitizers, and ferroptosis inducers.

Abstract
Traditional chemotherapy has faced tough challenges of systemic toxicity, hypoxia resistance, and inadequacy of monotherapy. Developing the tumor-specific O2-supply-enhanced chemotherapy without toxic drugs while combing other precise treatments can substantially improve therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a CeO2-enriched CuO nanozyme with O2 supply and oxidative stress amplification for tumor-specific disulfiram (DSF) chemotherapy and intensified chemodynamic therapy by synergistic in situ "nontoxicity-toxicity" activation is developed. Notably, CeO2 can not only act as a morphological "regulator," but also serve as a cascaded enzyme-mimetic catalyst via tumor-microenvironment-responsive cascaded-logical programmable valence conversion. Once internalized inside tumor cells, the nanozyme can be degraded by lysosomal acidity to release nontoxic DSF and Cu2+, which can trigger in situ "Cu2+-DSF" chelation, generating a highly toxic Cu(DTC)2 for in situ chemotherapy. Moreover, the enriched CeO2 with catalase-mimetic activity can decompose the endogenous H2O2 into O2, which can relieve the hypoxia to enhance the chemotherapeutic efficacy. Furthermore, the simultaneously generated Ce3+ can exert peroxidase-mimetic activity to catalyze H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals (•OH) for chemodynamic therapy. This Fenton-like chemistry is accompanied by the regeneration of Ce4+, which can deplete the intracellular overproduced GSH to amplify the oxidative stress. Therefore, this nanozyme can provide an alternative to precise cancer treatment.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a newly developed cancer-therapeutic modality that kills cancer cells by the highly toxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) generated from the in situ triggered Fenton/Fenton-like reactions in an acidic and H2O2-overproduced tumor microenvironment (TME). By taking the advantage of the TME-activated catalytic reaction, CDT enables a highly specific and minimally-invasive cancer treatment without external energy input, whose efficiency mainly depends on the reactant concentrations of both the catalytic ions and H2O2, and the reaction conditions (including pH, temperature, and amount of glutathione). Unfortunately, it suffers from unsatisfactory therapy efficiency for clinical application because of the limited activators (i.e., mild acid pH and insufficient H2O2 content) and overexpressed reducing substance in TME. Currently, various synergistic strategies have been elaborately developed to increase the CDT efficiency by regulating the TME, enhancing the catalytic efficiency of catalysts, or combining with other therapeutic modalities. To realize these strategies, the construction of diverse nanocarriers to deliver Fenton catalysts and cooperatively therapeutic agents to tumors is the key prerequisite, which is now being studied but has not been thoroughly summarized. In particular, nanocarriers that can not only serve as carriers but are also active themselves for therapy are recently attracting increasing attention because of their less risk of toxicity and metabolic burden compared to nanocarriers without therapeutic capabilities. These therapy-active nanocarriers well meet the requirements of an ideal therapy system with maximum multifunctionality but minimal components. From this new perspective, in this review, we comprehensively summarize the very recent research progress on nanocarrier-based systems for enhanced CDT and the strategies of how to integrate various Fenton agents into the nanocarriers, with particular focus on the studies of therapy-active nanocarriers for the construction of CDT catalysts, aiming to guide the design of nanosystems with less components and more functionalities for enhanced CDT. Finally, the challenges and prospects of such a burgeoning cancer-theranostic modality are outlooked to provide inspirations for the further development and clinical translation of CDT.

Abstract
A self-powered biosensing system with multivariate signal amplification is designed for the ultrasensitive, highly efficient, rapid-response, and real-time detection of platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). The biosensing system is composed of enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs), a capacitor, a digital multimeter (DMM), and a computer. Using the hybridization chain reaction (HCR), a few single DNA chains are transformed into abundant double-helix chains, which stimulates the reduction of [Ru(NH3)6]3+ to [Ru(NH3)6]2+ by electrostatic interaction, corresponding to the "on" state for HCR. As a result, the open-circuit voltage (EOCV) is significantly increased in this self-powered biosensing system. When PDGF-BB is present, a binding interaction between the target and the aptamer, i.e., PDGF-BB/Apt, corresponding to the "off" state for HCR, results in a decrease of EOCV. The PDGF-BB concentration is inversely proportional to EOCV, allowing readable, effective, and precise real-time detection of PDGF-BB. The detection limit of the biosensing system is 0.031 pg/mL (S/N = 3). This strategy provides a promising and powerful tool for the early clinical diagnosis of related colorectal cancer markers.

Abstract
A novel self-powered biosensor is fabricated for ultrasensitive microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) detection, which includes an enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC), DNA walkers, a digital multimeter (DMM), and a capacitor. As a novel strategy for signal amplification, DNA walkers are designed in the cathode, while the capacitor stores electrochemical energy from the EBFC to further boost the instantaneous current displayed by the DMM. When miRNA-21 is present, the DNA walkers are provoked to walk from as-opened hairpin structures to other hairpin structures, generating double-strand DNA structures, which stimulate [Ru(NH3)6]3+ to be adsorbed on the cathode surface by electrostatic interaction. Afterward, [Ru(NH3)6]3+ is reduced to [Ru(NH3)6]2+, and the open circuit voltage (EOCV) is significantly increased. Depending on the approach of signal amplification from DNA walkers, this biosensor displays an ultrasensitive assay toward miRNA-21 in the range of 0.5 to 104 fM, with a detection limit of 0.15 fM. In addition, this self-powered biosensor displays high selectivity for miRNA-21 assay in human serum samples.

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
With the recent interest in the role of oxidative species/radicals in diseases, inorganic nanomaterials with redox activities have been extensively investigated for their potential use in nanomedicine. While many studies focusing on relieving oxidative stress to prevent pathogenesis and to suppress the progression of diseases have shown considerable success, another approach for increasing oxidative stress using nanomaterials to kill malignant cells has suffered from low efficiency despite its wide applicability to various targets. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging technique that can resolve such a problem by exploiting the characteristic tumour microenvironment to achieve high selectivity. In this review, we summarize the recent strategies and underlying mechanisms that have been used to improve the CDT performance using inorganic nanoparticles. In addition to the design of CDT agents, the effects of contributing factors, such as the acidity and the levels of hydrogen peroxide and antioxidants in the tumour microenvironment, together with their modulation and application in combination therapy, are presented. The challenges lying ahead of future clinical translation of this rapidly advancing technology are also discussed.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has garnered significant interest as an innovative approach for cancer treatment, owing to its notable tumor specificity and selectivity, minimal systemic toxicity and side effects, and absence of the requirement for field stimulation during treatment. This treatment utilizes nanocatalytic medicines containing transitional metals to release metal ions within tumor cells, subsequently initiating Fenton and Fenton-like reactions. These reactions convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into hydroxyl radical (•OH) specifically within the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby inducing apoptosis in tumor cells. However, insufficient endogenous H2O2, the overexpressed reducing substances in the TME, and the weak acidity of solid tumors limit the performance of CDT and restrict its application in vivo. Therefore, a variety of nanozymes and strategies have been designed and developed in order to potentiate CDT against tumors, including the application of various nanozymes and different strategies to remodel TME for enhanced CDT (e.g., increasing the H2O2 level in situ, depleting reductive substances, and lowering the pH value). This review presents an overview of the design and development of various nanocatalysts and the corresponding strategies employed to enhance catalytic drug targeting in recent years. Additionally, it delves into the prospects and obstacles that lie ahead for the future advancement of CDT.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2207535.

Abstract
Activatable prodrugs have drawn considerable attention for cancer cell ablation owing to their high specificity in drug delivery systems. However, phototheranostic prodrugs with dual organelle-targeting and synergistic effects are still rare due to low intelligence of their structures. Besides, the cell membrane, exocytosis, and diffusional hindrance by the extracellular matrix reduce drug uptake. Moreover, the up-regulation of heat shock protein and short singlet-oxygen lifetime in cancer cells hamper photo-ablation efficacy, especially in the mono-therapeutic model. To overcome those obstacles, we prepare an esterase-activated DM nano-prodrug, which is conjugated by diiodine-substituted fluorogenic malachite green derivative (MG-2I) and phototherapeutic agent DPP-OH via hydrolyzable ester linkage, having pH-responsiveness and genetically targetable activity for dual organelles-targeting to optimize photo-ablation efficacy. The DM nanoparticles (NPs) present improved pH-responsive photothermal/photodynamic property by the protonation of diethylaminophenyl units in acidic environment. More importantly, the MG-2I and DPP-OH moieties can be released from DM nano-prodrug through overexpressed esterase; then specifically target lysosomes and mitochondria in CT-26 Mito-FAP cells. Hence, near-infrared DM NPs can trigger parallel damage in dual-organelles with strong fluorescence and effective phototoxicity, thus inducing serious mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptotic death, showing excellent photo-ablation effect based on esterase-activated, pH-responsive, and genetically targetable activities.

Abstract
A dual-biomarker, self-powered biosensor was fabricated for the ultrasensitive detection of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) and miRNA-155 based on enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs), catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), and DNA hybridization chain reaction (HCR), with a capacitor and digital multimeter (DMM). In the presence of miRNA-21, the CHA and HCR are triggered and lead to the generation of a double-helix chain, which stimulates [Ru(NH3)6]3+ to move to the biocathode surface due to electrostatic interaction. Subsequently, the biocathode obtains electrons from the bioanode and reduces [Ru(NH3)6]3+ to [Ru(NH3)6]2+, which significantly increases the open-circuit voltage (E1OCV). When miRNA-155 is present, CHA and HCR cannot be completed, resulting in a low E2OCV. The self-powered biosensor allows for the simultaneous ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 with detection limits of 0.15 and 0.66 fM, respectively. Moreover, this self-powered biosensor exhibits the highly sensitive detection for miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 assay in human serum samples.
