Abstract
The highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) restricts the efficient activation of immune responses. To restore the surveillance of the immune system for robust activation, vast efforts are devoted to normalizing the TME. Here, a manganese-doped layered double hydroxide (Mn-LDH) is developed for potent anti-tumor immunity by reversing TME. Mn-LDH is synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method. In addition to the inherent proton neutralization capacity of LDH, the introduction of manganese oxide endows LDH with an additional ability to produce oxygen. Mn-LDH effectively releases Mn2+ and Mg2+ upon exposure to TME with high levels of H+ and H2O2, which activates synthase-stimulator of interferon genes pathway and maintains the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells respectively, achieving a cascade-like role in innate and adaptive immunity. The locally administered Mn-LDH facilitated a "hot" network consisting of mature dendritic cells, M1-phenotype macrophages, as well as cytotoxic and helper T cells, significantly inhibiting the growth of primary and distal tumors. Moreover, the photothermal conversion capacity of Mn-LDH sparks more robust therapeutic effects in large established tumor models with a single administration and irradiation. Overall, this study guides the rational design of TME-modulating immunotherapeutics for robust immune activation, providing a clinical candidate for next-generation cancer immunotherapy.

[PMID: 38606488 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202400319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are promising tumor treatments mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have the advantages of being minimally invasive. However, the hypoxia of tumor microenvironment and poor target ability often reduce the therapeutic effect. Here we propose a tumor targeted nanoplatform PCN-224@Co3O4-HA for enhanced PDT and synergistic CDT, constructed by hyaluronate-modified Co3O4 nanoparticles decorated metal-organic framework PCN-224. Co3O4 can catalyze the decomposition of highly expressed H2O2 in tumor cells to produce oxygen and alleviate the problem of hypoxia. It can also produce hydroxyl radicals according to the Fenton-like reaction for chemical dynamic therapy, significantly improving the therapeutic effect. The cell survival experiment showed that after in vitro treatment, 4T1 and MCF-7 cancer cells died in a large area under the anaerobic state, while the survival ability of normal cell L02 was nearly unchanged. This result effectively indicated that PCN-224@Co3O4-HA could effectively relieve tumor hypoxia and improve the effect of PDT and synergistic CDT. Cell uptake experiments showed that PCN-224@Co3O4-HA had good targeting properties and could effectively aggregate in tumor cells. In vivo experiments on mice, PCN-224@Co3O4-HA presented reliable biosafety performance, and can cooperate with PDT and CDT therapy to prevent the growth of tumor.

Abstract
Developing clinically meaningful nanomedicines for cancer therapy requires the drugs to be effective, safe, simple, cheap, and easy to store. In the present work, we report that a simple cationic Fe(III)-rich salt of [FeIIICl(TMPPH2)][FeIIICl4]2 (Fe-TMPP) exhibits a superior anticancer performance on a broad spectrum of cancer cell lines, including breast, colorectal cancer, liver, pancreatic, prostate, and gastric cancers, with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values in the range of 0.098-3.97 μM (0.066-2.68 μg mL-1), comparable to the best-reported medicines. Fe-TMPP can form stand-alone nanoparticles in water without the need for extra surface modification or organic-solvent-assisted antisolvent precipitation. Critically, Fe-TMPP is TME-responsive (TME = tumor microenvironment), and can only elicit its function in the TME with overexpressed H2O2, converting H2O2 to the cytotoxic •OH to oxidize the phospholipid of the cancer cell membrane, causing ferroptosis, a programmed cell death process of cancer cells.

Abstract
Herein, we report a rare example of cationic three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic framework (MOF) of [Cu5Cl3(TMPP)]Cl5 ⋅ xSol (denoted as Cu-TMPP; H2TMPP=meso-tetrakis (6-methylpyridin-3-yl) porphyrin; xSol=encapsulated solvates) supported by [Cu8Cl6]10+ cluster secondary building units (SBUs) wherein the eight faces of the Cl--based octahedron are capped by eight Cu2+. Surface-area analysis indicated that Cu-TMPP features a mesoporous structure and its solvate-like Cl- counterions can be exchanged by BF4 -, PF6 -, and NO3 -. The polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coated Cu-TMPP (denoted as Cu-TMPP-PVP) demonstrated good ROS generating ability, producing ⋅OH in the absence of light (peroxidase-like activity) and 1O2 on light irradiation (650 nm; 25 mW cm-2). This work highlights the potential of Cu-TMPP as a functional carrier of anionic guests such as drugs, for the combination therapy of cancer and other diseases.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has emerged as a transformative paradigm in the realm of reactive oxygen species -mediated cancer therapies, exhibiting its potential as a sophisticated strategy for precise and effective tumor treatment. CDT primarily relies on metal ions and hydrogen peroxide to initiate Fenton or Fenton-like reactions, generating cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals. Its notable advantages in cancer treatment are demonstrated, including tumor specificity, autonomy from external triggers, and a favorable side-effect profile. Recent advancements in nanomedicine are devoted to enhancing CDT, promising a comprehensive optimization of CDT efficacy. This review systematically elucidates cutting-edge achievements in chemodynamic nanotherapeutics, exploring strategies for enhanced Fenton or Fenton-like reactions, improved tumor microenvironment modulation, and precise regulation in energy metabolism. Moreover, a detailed analysis of diverse CDT-mediated combination therapies is provided. Finally, the review concludes with a comprehensive discussion of the prospects and intrinsic challenges to the application of chemodynamic nanotherapeutics in the domain of cancer treatment.

Abstract
Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have demonstrated efficacy in eliminating tumor cells by modifying the tumor microenvironment and inducing the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Nevertheless, the transient nature and limited diffusion distance inherent in ROS present significant challenges in cancer treatment. In response to these limitations, we have developed a nanoparticle (MnClPc-HSA@GOx) that not only inhibits tumor energy metabolism but also facilitates the transition of TAMs from the M2 type (anti-inflammatory type) to the M1 type (proinflammatory type). MnClPc-HSA@GOx comprises a manganese phthalocyanine complex (MnClPc) enveloped in human serum albumin (HSA), with glucose oxidase (GOx) loaded onto MnClPc@HSA nanoparticles. GOx was employed to catalyze the decomposition of glucose to produce H2O2 and gluconic acid. Additionally, in the presence of MnClPc, it catalyzes the conversion of H2O2 into •O2- and 1O2. Results indicate that the nanoparticle effectively impedes the glucose supply to tumor cells and suppresses their energy metabolism. Simultaneously, the ROS-mediated polarization of TAMs induces a shift from M2 to M1 macrophages, resulting in a potent inhibitory effect on tumors. This dual-action strategy holds promising clinical inhibition applications in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
The nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field that has become a hot topic in cancer therapy. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials and hybrid composites consisted of organic linkers and metal cations. Despite the wide application of MOFs in other fields, the potential of MOFs for purpose of cancer therapy has been revealed by the recent studies. High surface area and porosity, significant drug loading and encapsulation efficiency are among the benefits of using MOFs in drug delivery. MOFs can deliver genes/drugs with selective targeting of tumor cells that can be achieved through functionalization with ligands. The photosensitizers and photo-responsive nanostructures including carbon dots and gold nanoparticles can be loaded in/on MOFs to cause phototherapy-mediated tumor ablation. The immunogenic cell death induction and increased infiltration of cytotoxic CD8+ and CD4+ T cells can be accelerated by MOF platforms in providing immunotherapy of tumor cells. The stimuli-responsive MOF platforms responsive to pH, redox, enzyme and ion can accelerate release of therapeutics in tumor site. Moreover, MOF nanocomposites can be modified ligands and green polymers to improve their selectivity and biocompatibility for cancer therapy. The application of MOFs for the detection of cancer-related biomarkers can participate in the early diagnosis of patients.

Abstract
Activated M1-type macrophages, which produce inflammatory factors that exacerbate rheumatoid arthritis (RA), represent crucial target cells for inhibiting the disease process. In this study, we developed a novel photoresponsive targeted drug delivery system (TPNPs-HA) that can effectively deliver the hypoxia-activated prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) specifically to activated macrophages. After administration, this metal-organic framework, PCN-224, constructed uing the photosensitizer porphyrin, exhibits the ability to generate excessive toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to near-infrared light. Additionally, the oxygen-consumed hypoxic environment further activates the chemotherapeutic effect of TPZ, thus creating a synergistic combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy (HaCT) to promote the elimination of activated M1-type macrophages. The results highlight the significantly potential of this photoresponsive nano-delivery system in providing substantial relief for RA. Furthermore, these findings support its effectiveness in inhibiting the disease process of RA, thereby offering new possibilities for the development of precise and accurate strategies for RA.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising drug-delivering platforms for their intrinsic capability of loading and releasing different cargoes. To further extend their biomedical practices, the development of collaborative MOF systems with good biocompatibility and synergistic efficacy is essential. Herein, the near-infrared and pH dual-response collaborative zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) platform SOR@ZIF-8@PDA (SZP) was constructed, in which the chemotherapeutic drug sorafenib (SOR) was encapsulated in ZIF-8 and via polydopamine (PDA) coating on ZIF-8 by hierarchical self-assembly. PDA coating serves as a photothermal agent for PPT while reducing the toxicity of ZIF-8. SZP achieves intelligent release of therapeutic drugs by responding to the lower pH of the tumor microenvironment and thermal stimulation generated by near-infrared light irradiation. In addition, under light irradiation, SZP could effectively realize treatment of cancer cells through synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy, as evidenced by the enhanced cell apoptosis, inhibited tumor cell proliferation and migration. This collaborative MOFs system showed excellent biocompatibility and antitumor ability in vivo on a mouse HepG2 tumor model. Our results demonstrated that PDA-modified MOFs exhibited a fantastic good development prospect in biomedical applications.

Manganese-Based Immunomodulatory Nanocomposite with Catalase-Like Activity and Microwave-Enhanced ROS Elimination Ability for Efficient Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapy. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2304610.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease commonly associated with the accumulation of hyperactive immune cells (HICs), particularly macrophages of pro-inflammatory (M1) phenotype, accompanied by the elevated level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreased pH and O2 content in joint synovium. In this work, an immunomodulatory nanosystem (IMN) is developed for RA therapy by modulating and restoring the function of HICs in inflamed tissues. Manganese tetraoxide nanoparticles (Mn3 O4 ) nanoparticles anchored on UiO-66-NH2 are designed, and then the hybrid is coated with Mn-EGCG film, further wrapped with HA to obtain the final nanocomposite of UiO-66-NH2 @Mn3 O4 /Mn-EGCG@HA (termed as UMnEH). When UMnEH diffuses to the inflammatory site of RA synovium, the stimulation of microwave (MW) irradiation and low pH trigger the slow dissociation of Mn-EGCG film. Then the endogenously overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) disintegrates the exposed Mn3 O4 NPs to promote ROS scavenging and O2 generation. Assisted by MW irradiation, the elevated O2 content in the RA microenvironment down-regulates the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Coupled with the clearance of ROS, it promotes the re-polarization of M1 phenotype macrophages into anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype macrophages. Therefore, the multifunctional UMnEH nanoplatform, as the IMN, exhibits a promising potential to modulate and restore the function of HICs and has an exciting prospect in the treatment of RA.

A Nano-Autophagy Inhibitor Triggering Reciprocal Feedback Control of Cholesterol Depletion for Solid Tumor Therapy. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2302020.

Abstract
Solid tumors are characterized by enhanced metabolism of lipid, particularly cholesterol, inspiring the exploration of metabolic therapy through cholesterol oxidase (COD)-mediated cholesterol deprivation. However, the therapeutic efficacy of COD is limited due to the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and the protective autophagy triggered by cholesterol deprivation. Herein, a combination therapy for metabolically treating solid tumors through COD in conjunction with molybdenum oxide nanodots (MONDs), which serve as both potent oxygen generators and autophagy inhibitors, is reported. MONDs convert H2 O2 (arising from COD-mediated cholesterol oxidation) into O2 , which is then recycled by COD to form reciprocal feedback for cholesterol depletion. Concurrently, MONDs can overcome autophagy-induced therapeutic resistance frequently occurring in conventional nutrient deprivation therapy by activating AKT/mTOR pathway phosphorylation. Combination therapy in the xenograft model results in an ≈5-fold increase in therapeutic efficiency as compared with COD treatment alone. This functionally cooperative metabolic coupling strategy holds great promise as a novel polytherapy approach that will benefit patients with solid tumors.

Abstract
Bi2MoO6 (BMO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used as a photocatalyst to decompose organic pollutants, but their potential for photodynamic therapy (PDT) is yet to be explored. Normally, the UV absorption property of BMO NPs is not suitable for clinical application because the penetration depth of the UV light is too small. To overcome this limitation, we rationally designed a novel nanocomposite based on Bi2MoO6/MoS2/AuNRs (BMO-MSA), which simultaneously possesses both the high photodynamic ability and POD-like activity under NIR-II light irradiation. Additionally, it has excellent photothermal stability with good photothermal conversion efficiency. The as-prepared BMO-MSA nanocomposite could induce the germline apoptosis of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) via the cep-1/p53 pathway after being illuminated by light with a wavelength of 1064 nm. The in vivo investigations confirmed the ability of the BMO-MSA nanocomposite for the induction of DNA damage in the worms, and the mechanism was approved by determining the egl-1 fold induction in the mutants that have a loss of function in the genes involved in DNA damage response mutants. Thus, this work has not only provided a novel PDT agent, which may be used for PDT in the NIR-II region, but also introduced a new approach to therapy, taking advantage of both PDT and CDT effects.
