Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROSs) are byproducts of normal cellular metabolism and play pivotal roles in various physiological processes. Disruptions in the balance between ROS levels and the body's antioxidant defenses can lead to the development of numerous diseases. Glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3), a key component of the body's antioxidant system, is an oxidoreductase enzyme. GPX3 mitigates oxidative damage by catalyzing the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into water. Beyond its antioxidant function, GPX3 is vital in regulating metabolism, modulating cell growth, inducing apoptosis and facilitating signal transduction. It also serves as a significant tumor suppressor in various cancers. Recent studies have revealed aberrant expression of GPX3 in several non-neoplastic diseases, associating it with multiple pathological processes. This review synthesizes the current understanding of GPX3 expression and regulation, highlighting its extensive roles in noncancerous diseases. Additionally, this paper evaluates the potential of GPX3 as a diagnostic biomarker and explores emerging therapeutic strategies targeting this enzyme, offering potential avenues for future clinical treatment of non-neoplastic conditions.

Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2304091. [PMID: 38381065 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202304091] [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: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
Inspired by the Fenton-like reaction, this work combines copper peroxide (CP) nanoparticles with black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets to form a hydroxyl radical (·OH)-centered "catalytic" osteogenic system. CP-produced ·OH interacts with BP to rapidly produce a large amount of phosphate ions, thus accelerating self-mineralization and promoting bone formation. In turn, BP not only exerts anti-inflammatory effects, thereby providing a favorable microenvironment for bone formation, but also offsets the potential toxicity of CP induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Together with copper ions (Cu2+), phosphate ions are also released as a byproduct of this process, which can contribute to the comprehensive promotion of osteogenesis.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is linked closely to neurodegenerative diseases, with reactive oxygen species (ROS) exacerbating neuronal damage. Traditional electrochemical sensors show promise in targeting cellular ROS to understand their role in neuropathogenesis and assess therapies. Nevertheless, these sensors face challenges in mitigating the ROS oxidation overpotential. We herein introduce an ROS oxidation-independent nucleic acid sensor for in situ ROS analysis and therapeutic assessment. The sensor comprises ionizable and thioketal (TK)-based lipids with methylene blue-tagged nucleic acids on a glass carbon electrode. ROS exposure triggers cleavage within the sensor's thioketal moiety, detaching the nucleic acid from the electrode and yielding quantifiable results via square-wave voltammetry. Importantly, the sensor's low potential window minimizes interference, ensuring precise ROS measurements with high selectivity. Using this sensor, we unveil levodopa's dose-dependent biphasic effect on neuroinflammation: low doses alleviate oxidative stress, while high doses exacerbate it. The TK-based sensor offers a promising methodology for investigating neuroinflammation's pathogenesis and screening potential treatments, advancing neurodegenerative disease research.

Dual-ROS Sensitive Moieties Conjugate Inhibits Curcumin Oxidative Degradation for Colitis Precise Therapy. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2303016.

Abstract
Curcumin, a natural bioactive polyphenol with diverse molecular targets, is well known for its anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory potential. However, curcumin exhibits low solubility (<1 µg mL-1), poor tissue-targeting ability, and rapid oxidative degradation, resulting in poor bioavailability and stability for inflammatory therapy. Here, poly(diselenide-oxalate-curcumin) nanoparticle (SeOC-NP) with dual-reactive oxygen species (ROS) sensitive chemical moieties (diselenide and peroxalate ester bonds) is fabricated by a one-step synthetic strategy. The results confirmed that dual-ROS sensitive chemical moieties endowed SeOC-NP with the ability of targeted delivery of curcumin and significantly suppress oxidative degradation of curcumin for high-efficiency inflammatory therapy. In detail, the degradation amount of curcumin for SeOC is about 4-fold lower than that of free curcumin in an oxidative microenvironment. As a result, SeOC-NP significantly enhanced the antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory efficacy of curcumin in vitro analysis by scavenging intracellular ROS and suppressing the secretion of nitric oxide and pro-inflammatory cytokines. In mouse colitis models, orally administered SeOC-NP can remarkably alleviate the symptoms of IBD and maintain the homeostasis of gut microbiota. This work provided a simple and effective strategy to fabricate ROS-responsive micellar and enhance the oxidation stability of medicine for precise therapeutic inflammation.

Tu Quyen LT, Tung BN, Thach PN, Tri NN, Trung NT. Characteristics of nonconventional hydrogen bonds and stability of dimers of chalcogenoaldehyde derivatives: a noticeable role of oxygen compared to other chalcogens. RSC Adv 2024; 14:14114-14125. [PMID: 38686288 PMCID: PMC11057360 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra01837k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
In this work, twenty-four stable dimers of RCHZ with R = H, F, Cl, Br, CH3 or NH2 and Z = O, S, Se or Te were determined. It was found that the stability of most dimers is primarily contributed by the electrostatic force, except for the dominant role of the induction term in those involving a Te atom, which has been rarely observed. Both electron-donating and -withdrawing groups in substituted formaldehyde cause an increase in the strength of nonconventional Csp2-H⋯Z hydrogen bonds, as well as the dimers, in which the electron donating effect plays a more crucial role. The strength of nonconventional hydrogen bonds decreases in the following order: Csp2-H⋯O ≫ Csp2-H⋯S > Csp2-H⋯Se > Csp2-H⋯Te. Remarkably, a highly significant role of the O atom compared to S, Se and Te in increasing the Csp2-H stretching frequency and strength of the nonconventional hydrogen bonds and dimers is found. A Csp2-H stretching frequency red-shift is observed in Csp2-H⋯S/Se/Te, while a blue-shift is obtained in Csp2-H⋯O. When Z changes from O to S to Se and to Te, the Csp2-H blue-shift tends to decrease and eventually turns to a red-shift, in agreement with the increasing order of the proton affinity at Z in the isolated monomer. The magnitude of the Csp2-H stretching frequency red-shift is larger for Csp2-H⋯Te than Csp2-H⋯S/Se, consistent with the rising trend of proton affinity at the Z site and the polarity of the Csp2-H bond in the substituted chalcogenoaldehydes. The Csp2-H blue-shifting of the Csp2-H⋯O hydrogen bonds is observed in all dimers regardless of the electron effect of the substituents. Following complexation, the electron-donating derivatives exhibit a stronger Csp2-H blue-shift compared to the electron-withdrawing ones. Notably, the stronger Csp2-H blue-shift turns out to involve a less polarized Csp2-H bond and a decrease in the occupation at the σ*(Csp2-H) antibonding orbital in the isolated monomer.

Abstract
Excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause various biological damages and are involved in many diseases, such as cancer, inflammatory and thrombotic complications, and neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, ROS-responsive polymers with inherent ROS scavenging activity and biodegradability are extremely needed for the efficient treatment of ROS-related diseases. Here, this work fabricates the amphiphilic diblock copolymer PEG-b-PBC via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of phenylboronic acid ester conjugated cyclic carbonate monomer. The copolymer easily forms micelles (BCM) and scavenges ROS rapidly. BCM not only releases the delivered drug but degrades to produce the small molecules p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA) with anti-inflammatory capability in the presence of H2O2. BCM can reduce the oxidative stress of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and the levels of inflammatory factors secreted by macrophages, showing antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activity. Finally, BCM exerts a significant capability to reduce the complications of inflammation and thrombosis in vivo. The biodegradable aliphatic poly(carbonate)s have the potential to be used for drug delivery systems (DDS) for diseases induced by reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays important roles in living organisms. While ROS is a double-edged sword, which can eliminate drug-resistant bacteria, but excessive levels can cause oxidative damage to cells. A core-shell nanozyme, CeO2@ZIF-8/Au, has been crafted, spontaneously activating both ROS generating and scavenging functions, achieving the multi-faceted functions of eliminating bacteria, reducing inflammation, and promoting wound healing. The Au Nanoparticles (NPs) on the shell exhibit high-efficiency peroxidase-like activity, producing ROS to kill bacteria. Meanwhile, the encapsulation of CeO2 core within ZIF-8 provides a seal for temporarily limiting the superoxide dismutase and catalase-like activities of CeO2 nanoparticles. Subsequently, as the ZIF-8 structure decomposes in the acidic microenvironment, the CeO2 core is gradually released, exerting its ROS scavenging activity to eliminate excess ROS produced by the Au NPs. These two functions automatically and continuously regulate the balance of ROS levels, ultimately achieving the function of killing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and promoting wound healing. Such innovative ROS spontaneous regulators hold immense potential for revolutionizing the field of antibacterial agents and therapies.

Abstract
As an indispensable part of the human sensory system, visual acuity may be impaired and even develop into irreversible blindness due to various ocular pathologies. Among ocular diseases, fundus neovascularization diseases (FNDs) are prominent etiologies of visual impairment worldwide. Intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs remains the primary therapy but is hurdled by common complications and incomplete potency. To renovate the current therapeutic modalities, nanomedicine emerged as the times required, which is endowed with advanced capabilities, able to fulfill the effective ocular fundus drug delivery and achieve precise drug release control, thus further improving the therapeutic effect. This review provides a comprehensive summary of advances in nanomedicine for FND management from state-of-the-art studies. First, the current therapeutic modalities for FNDs are thoroughly introduced, focusing on the key challenges of ocular fundus drug delivery. Second, nanocarriers are comprehensively reviewed for ocular posterior drug delivery based on the nanostructures: polymer-based nanocarriers, lipid-based nanocarriers, and inorganic nanoparticles. Thirdly, the characteristics of the fundus microenvironment, their pathological changes during FNDs, and corresponding strategies for constructing smart nanocarriers are elaborated. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects of nanomedicine for FND management are thoroughly discussed.

The cell elimination strategy based on reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a promising method for tumor therapy. However, its efficacy is significantly limited by ROS deficiency caused by H2 O2 substrate deficiency and up-regulation of cellular antioxidant defense induced by high glutathione (GSH) content in tumor cells. To overcome these obstacles, a multifunctional self-cascaded nanocomposite: glucose oxidase (GOX) loaded NaYF4 :Yb/Er@Mn3 O4 (UC@Mn3 O4 , labeled as UCMn) is constructed. Only in tumor microenvironment, it can be specifically activated through a series of cascades to boost ROS production via a strategy of open source (H2 O2 self-supplying ability). The increased ROS can enhance lipid peroxidation and induce tumor cell apoptosis by activating the protein caspase. More importantly, the nanozyme can consume GSH to inhibit glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity, which limits tumor cell resistance to oxidative damage and triggers the tumor cell ferroptosis. Therefore, this strategy is expected to overcome the resistance of tumor to oxidative damage and achieve efficient oxidative damage of tumor. Further, degradation of the Mn3 O4 layer induced by GSH and acidic environment can promote the fluorescence recovery of UC fluorescent nuclear for tumor imaging to complete efficient integration of diagnosis and treatment for tumor.

Synergistic antitumor efficacy of rMV-Hu191 and Olaparib in pancreatic cancer by generating oxidative DNA damage and ROS-dependent apoptosis. Transl Oncol 2024; 39:101812. [PMID: 37871517 PMCID: PMC10598409 DOI: 10.1016/j.tranon.2023.101812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignancies with BRCA1/2 deficiencies are particularly sensitive to PARP inhibitors. Thus, combining PARP inhibitors with agents that impair DNA damage repair to treat BRCA1/2 wild-type PDAC could broaden the clinical use of these promising PARP inhibitors. Here we examined the synergism and mechanism of oncolytic measles virus (rMV-Hu191) with a PARP inhibitor (Olaparib) in vitro and in vivo. METHODS The cell viability assay, cell cycle analysis, colony formation assay, TCID 50 method, western blotting, flow cytometry, DNA comet assay, Mice bearing PDAC xenografts, IF, IHC and TUNEL assay were performed to explore the antitumor efficacy and underlying mechanisms. RESULTS In this study, we explored the antitumor activities of rMV-Hu191 and Olaparib in two PDAC cell lines harboring wild-type BRCA1/2 genes. Compared to monotherapy, the combination of rMV-Hu191 and Olaparib was able to synergistically cause growth arrest, apoptotic cell death and DNA damage, accompanying with excessive oxidative stress. Mechanistically, the data indicated that the observed synergy depended on the oxidative DNA damage and ROS-dependent apoptosis generating by rMV-Hu191 combined with Olaparib in human PDAC cells. Tumor inhibition and prolonged survival of PDAC mice xenografts in vivo confirmed the synergism of combinational treatment with trivial side-effects. CONCLUSIONS Our findings firstly suggested that combination treatment with rMV-Hu191 and Olaparib had a profound and synergistic therapeutic effect against human PDAC through synthetic lethality. In conclusion, we recommend combining oncolytic rMV-Hu191 with a PARP inhibitor (Olaparib) as a novel therapeutic strategy and provided a potential mechanism for advanced PDAC regardless of BRCA mutation status.

Grass carp superoxide dismutases exert antioxidant function and inhibit autophagy to promote grass carp reovirus (GCRV) replication. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128454.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are potent antioxidants crucial for neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protecting organisms from oxidative damage. In this study, we successfully cloned and analyzed two SOD genes, CiSOD1 and CiSOD2, from grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus). CiSOD1 consists of two CuZn signature motifs and two conserved cysteine residues, while CiSOD2 contains a single Mn signature motif. The expression of CiSODs was found to be ubiquitous across all examined tissues, with their expression levels significantly altered after stimulation by grass carp reovirus (GCRV) or pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). CiSOD1 was observed to be uniformly distributed in the cytoplasm, whereas CiSOD2 localized in the mitochondria. Escherichia coli transformed with both CiSODs demonstrated enhanced host resistance to H2O2 and heavy metals. Additionally, purified recombinant CiSOD proteins effectively protected DNA against oxidative damage. Furthermore, overexpression of CiSODs in fish cells reduced intracellular ROS, inhibited autophagy, and then resulted in the promotion of GCRV replication. Knockdown of CiSODs showed opposite trends. Notably, these roles of CiSODs in autophagy and GCRV replication were reversed upon treatment with an autophagy inducer. In summary, our findings suggest that grass carp SODs play an important role in decreasing intracellular ROS levels, inhibiting autophagy, and subsequently promoting GCRV replication.

Abstract
Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization has been used in various applications such as preparing nanoparticles, stimulus-responsive polymers, and hydrogels. In this study, the combination of this polymerization method and Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click chemistry was used to prepare the multifunctional glyco-diblock copolymer P(PEG-co-AM)-b-PF, which is composed of mannosides for cell targeting, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) for biocompatibility, and aryl-aldehyde moieties for enzyme immobilization. The alkyne group in the polymer structure enables the alternation for other azide-conjugated monomers. The stepwise synthesis of the polymers was fully characterized. P(PEG-co-AM)-b-PF was self-assembled into polymeric nanoparticles (BDOX-GOx@NPs) for glucose oxidase immobilization through Schiff base formation and for encapsulating the prodrug of arylboronate-linked doxorubicin (BA-DOX) under optimal conditions. Glucose oxidase in BDOX-GOx@NPs catalyzes glucose oxidation to produce gluconic acid and H2O2, which cause oxidative stress. Glucose oxidase also consumes glucose, causing starvation in cancer cells. The produced H2O2 can selectively activate the anticancer prodrug BA-DOX for chemotherapy. In vitro data indicate that GOx and the prodrug BA-DOX present inside BDOX-GOx@NPs exhibit higher stability than free glucose oxidase with a favorable active DOX release profile. MDA-MB-231 cells, which express mannose receptors, were used to establish a model in this study. The bioactivity of the nanoplatform in the two- and three-dimensional models of MDA-MB-231 cancer cells was investigated to ascertain its antitumor efficacy.

Abstract
Oxidative stress injury and mitochondrial dysfunction are major obstacles to neurological functional recovery after ischemic stroke. The development of new approaches to simultaneously diminish oxidative stress and resist mitochondrial dysfunction is urgently needed. Inspired by the overproduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) at ischemic neuron mitochondria, multifunctional nanoparticles with ROS-responsiveness and mitochondrial-targeted (SPNPs) were engineered, achieving specific targeting delivery and controllable drug release at ischemic penumbra. Due to the nose-to-brain pathway, SPNPs which were encapsulated in a thermo-sensitive gel by intranasal administration were directly delivered to the ischemic penumbra bypassing the blood‒brain barrier (BBB) and enhancing delivery efficiency. The potential of SPNPs for ischemic stroke treatment was systematically evaluated in vitro and in rat models of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Results demonstrated the mitochondrial-targeted and protective effects of SPNPs on H2O2-induced oxidative damage in SH-SY5Y cells. In vivo distribution analyzed by fluorescence imaging proved the rapid and enhanced active targeting of SPNPs to the ischemic area in MCAO rats. SPNPs by intranasal administration exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy by alleviating oxidative stress, diminishing inflammation, repairing mitochondrial function, and decreasing apoptosis. This strategy provided a multifunctional delivery system for the effective treatment of ischemic injury, which also implies a potential application prospect for other central nervous diseases.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, using photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. However, the production of ROS in tumor cells is often limited by hypoxia, insufficient substrates, and high level of ROS scavengers in a tumor microenvironment, which seriously affects the efficacy of ROS-related tumor therapies. Herein, we report a lipid-supported manganese oxide nanozyme, MLP@DHA&Ce6, by decorating a MnO2 nano-shell on the liposome loaded with dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and photosensitizer Ce6 for generating multisource ROS to enhance cancer therapy. MLP@DHA&Ce6 can be accumulated in tumors and can release active components, Mn2+ ions, and O2. The conjugate generates ROS via nanozyme-catalyzed CDT using DHA as a substrate, PDT through Ce6, and the Fenton reaction catalyzed by Mn2+ ions. The production of O2 from MnO2 enhanced Ce6-mediated PDT under near-infrared light irradiation. Meanwhile, MLP@DHA&Ce6 showed prominent glutathione depletion, which allowed ROS to retain high activity in tumor cells. In addition, the release of Mn2+ ions and DHA in tumor cells induced ferroptosis. This multisource ROS generation and ferroptosis effect of MLP@DHA&Ce6 led to enhanced therapeutic effects in vivo.

Abstract
Anticancer nanomedicines have been proven effective in mitigating the side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs. However, challenges remain in augmenting their therapeutic efficacy. Nanomedicines responsive to the pathological abnormalities in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are expected to overcome the biological limitations of conventional nanomedicines, enhance the therapeutic efficacies, and further reduce the side effects. This Review aims to quantitate the various pathological abnormalities in the TME, which may serve as unique endogenous stimuli for the design of stimuli-responsive nanomedicines, and to provide a broad and objective perspective on the current understanding of stimuli-responsive nanomedicines for cancer treatment. We dissect the typical transport process and barriers of cancer drug delivery, highlight the key design principles of stimuli-responsive nanomedicines designed to tackle the series of barriers in the typical drug delivery process, and discuss the "all-into-one" and "one-for-all" strategies for integrating the needed properties for nanomedicines. Ultimately, we provide insight into the challenges and future perspectives toward the clinical translation of stimuli-responsive nanomedicines.

Abstract
Tumor phototheranostics is usually compromised by the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and poor theranostic efficiency. The interplay between organic polymers and inorganic nanoparticles in novel nanocomposites has proven to be advantageous, overcoming previous limitations and harnessing their full potential through activation via the tumor microenvironment. This study successfully fabricated hypoxia-activated nanocolloids called HOISNDs through a process of self-assembly involving superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and an organic polymer ligand called tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP)-engineered organic polymer ligand [methoxy poly(ethyleneglycol)-block-poly(dopamine-ethylenediamine-conjugated-4-nitrobenzyl chloroformate)-l-glutamate, mPEG-b-P(Dopa-EDA-co-NBCF)LG-TCPP)]. The SPIONs act as an oxygen generator to overcome the challenges posed by hypoxic tumors and enable the use of hypoxic-activatable MR/fluorescence dual-modal imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT). The colloid stability of these HOISNDs proved to be exceptional in diverse biomimetic environments. Furthermore, they not only augment T2-weighted contrast capability as an MRI contrast agent but also function as an oxygen-producing device to amplify the generation and release of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The HOISNDs can significantly target to tumor sites through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect with prolonged blood circulation time and subsequently are effectively endocytosed into a hypoxic intracellular environment that "turn on" the imaging function and photodynamic activity. Moreover, HOISNDs possess the ability to effectively decompose naturally occurring H2O2 into oxygen (O2) within the tumor utilizing the Fenton reaction. This method can mitigate the impact of hypoxia on oxygen-dependent PDT. The outcomes of in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic evaluations indicated that HOISNDs are a highly promising tool for dual-model imaging-guided cancer theranosis by ameliorating hypoxic conditions and augmenting PDT efficiency.

Abstract
Non-invasive control of the drug molecules accessibility is a key issue in improving diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Some studies have explored the spatiotemporal control by light as a peripheral stimulus. Phototriggered drug delivery systems (PTDDSs) have received interest in the past decade among biological researchers due to their capability the control drug release. To this end, a wide range of phototrigger molecular structures participated in the DDSs to serve additional efficiency and a high-conversion release of active fragments under light irradiation. Up to now, several categories of PTDDSs have been extended to upgrade the performance of controlled delivery of therapeutic agents based on well-known phototrigger molecular structures like o-nitrobenzyl, coumarinyl, anthracenyl, quinolinyl, o-hydroxycinnamate and hydroxyphenacyl, where either of one endows an exclusive feature and distinct mechanistic approach. This review conveys the design, photochemical properties and essential mechanism of the most important phototriggered structures for the release of single and dual (similar or different) active molecules that have the ability to quickly reason of the large variety of dynamic biological phenomena for biomedical applications like photo-regulated drug release, synergistic outcomes, real-time monitoring, and biocompatibility potential.

Abstract
Functional subcellular organelle mitochondria are emerging as a crucial player and driver of cancer. For maintaining the sites of cellular respiration, mitochondria experience production, and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) underlying oxidative damage in electron transport chain carriers. Precision medicine targeting mitochondria can change nutrient availability and redox homeostasis in cancer cells, which might represent a promising strategy for suppressing tumor growth. Herein, this review highlights how the modification capable of manipulating nanomaterials for ROS generation strategies can influence or compensate the state of mitochondrial redox homeostasis. We propose foresight to guide research and innovation with an overview of seminal work and discuss future challenges and our perspective on the commercialization of novel mitochondria-targeting agents.

Abstract
Although chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) have been developed for fighting cancer, the complex and heterogeneous nature of tumors makes it difficult for a single therapy to completely inhibit tumor growth. In order to reduce multidrug resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs and overcome low PDT efficiency in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME), chemo/PDT synergistic treatment has received much attention in recent years. Depending on the characteristic signals of TME, various drug delivery systems can be constructed to target tumors and improve the therapeutic efficacy and the pharmacokinetic profile of anticancer drugs. This review highlights the synergistic strategies, treatment protocols, and design of chemo/PDT co-therapy in recent years to explore its scope and limitations. Taking advantage of stimuli-responsive materials and active cancer-targeting agents, cancer-targeting synergistic therapy is presented and discussed, providing ideas and suggestions for the construction of chemo/PDT co-therapy "smart" nanocarriers.

Abstract
Catalytic therapy can effectively kill tumor cells and inhibit tumor growth by producing highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the long-term catalysis of nanozymes easily lead to ROS breaking through the boundary in tumor tissues, resulting in spillover and injuring normal cells. Therefore, how to control the threshold of ROS production from nanozymes in tumor tissues is an unsolved problem. In this work, to prevent the boundary effect of the photosensitizer ([Ru(bpy)2(tip)]2+, RBT) during ROS generation, we used the sensitivity of RBT and PdH0.2-Ir with different wavelengths of near-infrared light (NIR) to generate ROS and H2, respectively. Therefore, an intelligent nanosystem PdH0.2-Ir@RBT(PIH@R) was constructed to precisely control ROS generation by adjusting the NIR laser wavelength. The palladium-iridium alloy (Pd-Ir) nanoparticles as the core can co-load hydrogen (H2) and RBT and show NIR-responsive behaviors. Under 808 nm laser irradiation, PIH@R produces ROS with the photocatalysis of RBT, while under 1064 nm laser irradiation PIH@R will quickly activate and release H2 to eliminate ROS. Interestingly, in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that PIH@R acted like a "Trojan horse": PIH@R can destroy the mitochondria of 4T1 cells to destroy their redox homeostasis system, resulting in cancer cells relying on exogenous PIH@R to change their reactive oxygen species levels. Subsequently, when PIH@R is activated into a harmful oxidation state, it can easily crush the redox homeostasis system of cancer cells and induce cancer cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a completely new form of regulated cell death, is mainly caused by an imbalance between oxidative damage and reductive protection and has shown great anti-cancer potential. However, existing small-molecule ferroptosis inducers have various limitations, such as poor water solubility, drug resistance and low targeting ability, hindering their clinical applications. Nanotechnology provides new opportunities for ferroptosis-driven tumor therapy. Especially, stimuli-responsive nanomaterials stand out among others and have been widely researched because of their unique spatiotemporal control advantages. Therefore, it's necessary to summarize the application of those stimuli-responsive nanomaterials in ferroptosis. Here, we describe the physiological feature of ferroptosis and illustrate the current challenges to induce ferroptosis for cancer therapy. Then, nanomaterials that induce ferroptosis are classified and elaborated according to the external and internal stimuli. Finally, the future perspectives in the field are proposed. We hope this review facilitates paving the way for the design of intelligent nano-ferroptosis inducers.

Abstract
Nucleic acid drugs have the advantages of rich target selection, simple in design, good and enduring effect. They have been demonstrated to have irreplaceable superiority in brain disease treatment, while vectors are a decisive factor in therapeutic efficacy. Strict physiological barriers, such as degradation and clearance in circulation, blood-brain barrier, cellular uptake, endosome/lysosome barriers, release, obstruct the delivery of nucleic acid drugs to the brain by the vectors. Nucleic acid drugs against a single target are inefficient in treating brain diseases of complex pathogenesis. Differences between individual patients lead to severe uncertainties in brain disease treatment with nucleic acid drugs. In this Review, we briefly summarize the classification of nucleic acid drugs. Next, we discuss physiological barriers during drug delivery and universal coping strategies and introduce the application methods of these universal strategies to nucleic acid drug vectors. Subsequently, we explore nucleic acid drug-based multidrug regimens for the combination treatment of brain diseases and the construction of the corresponding vectors. In the following, we address the feasibility of patient stratification and personalized therapy through diagnostic information from medical imaging and the manner of introducing contrast agents into vectors. Finally, we take a perspective on the future feasibility and remaining challenges of vector-based integrated diagnosis and gene therapy for brain diseases.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a life-threatening form of breast cancer which has been found to account for 15% of all the subtypes of breast cancer. Currently available treatments are significantly less effective in TNBC management because of several factors such as poor bioavailability, low specificity, multidrug resistance, poor cellular uptake, and unwanted side effects being the major ones. As a rapidly growing field, nano-therapeutics offers promising alternatives for breast cancer treatment. This platform provides a suitable pathway for crossing biological barriers and allowing sustained systemic circulation time and an improved pharmacokinetic profile of the drug. Apart from this, it also provides an optimized target-specific drug delivery system and improves drug accumulation in tumor cells. This review provides insights into the molecular mechanisms associated with the pathogenesis of TNBC, along with summarizing the conventional therapy and recent advances of different nano-carriers for the management of TNBC.

Abstract
Oxidative stress due to excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the skin microenvironment is one of the main mechanisms in psoriasis pathogenesis. A nano drug delivery system based on ROS-responsive release can enhance drug release at the target site. In this study, a ROS-sensitive material methoxypolyethylene glycol-thioether-thiol (mPEG-SS) was synthesized using mPEG as the parent structure with sulfide structural modification. An mPEG-SS-calcipotriol (mPEG-SS-CPT, PSC) nano-micelle percutaneous delivery system was prepared by encapsulating CPT. A small animal imaging system was used to study PSC’s the ROS-sensitive drug release process. It is shown that endogenous ROS mainly affects PSC and releases drugs. Finally, the therapeutic effect of PSC on psoriasis was explored by animal experiments. Ultimately, it ameliorates imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like inflammation. Overall, PSC is an effective ROS-sensitive transdermal drug delivery system that is expected to provide a new strategy for treating psoriasis.

Abstract
Elevated levels of reactive oxygen radicals caused by environmental stress are the key triggers of inflammation, aging, and disease; thus, it is critical to develop novel reactive oxygen radical scavenging methods with high efficiency and low toxicity. As a result of their selective reactive oxygen radical removal, hydrogen molecules are strong candidates, but their application is limited by the small hydrogen supply and short duration of action. In this study, we for the first time combined nanobubble (NB) technology and hydrogen water to remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) using copper ions as a representative environmental pollutant and Tetrahymena thermophila as a model organism. Hydrogen NBs displayed a remarkable capability of removing H2O2 and O2•- at molar ratios of 8:1 and 240:1, respectively, which were unable to be removed by dissolved hydrogen molecules only. During the oxidative defense phase, hydrogen NB water either directly removed ROS or increased the activity and relative expression of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). During the oxidative inhibition phase, hydrogen NB water exerted antioxidant effects mainly by increasing the activities of superoxide dismutase and GSH-Px as well as the expression of the corresponding genes. Our results provide an important theoretical support for the wide application of hydrogen NBs in empowering the antioxidant defense system.

In this review, the significance and application of diselenide bonds in DDSs are summarized, and the stimulation sensitivity of diselenide bonds is comprehensively reported. The potential and prospects for the application of diselenide bonds in next-generation anticancer drug treatment systems are extensively discussed.

Abstract
Tendinopathy is a common disorder that leads to pain and impaired quality of life. Recent studies revealed that osteogenic differentiation of tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) played an important role in the pathogenesis of tendon calcification and tendinopathy. In this study, we found that the growth hormone-releasing hormone agonist (GA) can prevent matrix degradation and osteogenic differentiation in TSPCs. As oxidative stress is a key factor in the osteogenic differentiation of TSPCs, we used bovine serum albumin/heparin nanoparticles (BHNPs), which have biocompatibility and drug loading capacity, to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and achieve sustained release of GA at the site of inflammation. The newly developed BHNPs@GA had a synergetic effect on reducing ROS production in TSPCs. In addition, BHNPs@GA effectively inhibited tendon calcification and promoted collagen formation in a rat model of tendinopathy. Focusing on the ROS underlying the differentiation and dedifferentiation of TSPCs, this work demonstrated that sustained release of GA targeting ROS and ectopic ossification is a practical therapeutic strategy for treating tendinopathy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Osteogenic differentiation of tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ectopic calcification in tendinopathy. In this study, we found that growth hormone-releasing hormone agonist (GA) can reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and adjust TSPCs differentiation. Bovine serum albumin/heparin nanoparticles (BHNPs) were developed to encapsulate GA and achieve sustained release of GA at the site of inflammation. The developed compound, BHNPs@GA, with a synergistic effect of inhibiting ROS and thus, can effectively adjust TSPCs differentiation, inhibit tendon calcification, and promote collagen formation in tendinopathy. This study highlighted the role of ROS underlying the differentiation and dedifferentiation of TSPCs in tendinopathy, and findings may help to identify new therapeutic targets and develop novel strategy for treating tendinopathy.

Abstract
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs) describe abnormal vascular system conditions affecting the brain and heart. Among these, ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke are the leading causes of death worldwide, resulting in 16% and 11% of deaths globally. Although several therapeutic approaches are presented over the years, the continuously increasing mortality rates suggest the need for more advanced strategies for their treatment. One of these strategies lies in the use of stimuli-responsive biomaterials. These "smart" biomaterials can specifically target the diseased tissue, and after "reading" the altered environmental cues, they can respond by altering their physicochemical properties and/or their morphology. In this review, the progress in the field of stimuli-responsive biomaterials for CCVDs in the last five years, aiming at highlighting their potential as early-stage therapeutics in the preclinical scenery, is described.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging with high sensitivity and minimal invasiveness has received tremendous attention, which can accomplish visualized monitoring and evaluation of cancer progression. Compared with the conventional first near-infrared (NIR-I) optical window (650-950 nm), fluorescence imaging in the second NIR optical window (NIR-II, 950-1700 nm) exhibits deeper tissue penetration capability and higher temporal-spatial resolution with lower background interference for achieving deep-tissue in vivo imaging and real-time monitoring of cancer development. Encouraged by the significant preponderances, a variety of multifunctional NIR-II fluorophores have been designed and fabricated for sensitively imaging biomarkers in vivo and visualizing the treatment procedure of cancers. In this review, the differences between NIR-I and NIR-II fluorescence imaging are briefly introduced, especially the advantages of NIR-II fluorescence imaging for the real-time visualization of tumors in vivo and cancer diagnosis. An important focus is to summarize the NIR-II fluorescence imaging for deep-tissue biomarker analysis in vivo and tumor tissue visualization, and a brief introduction of NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided cancer therapy is also presented. Finally, the significant challenges and reasonable prospects of NIR-II fluorescence imaging for cancer diagnosis in clinical applications are outlined.

Abstract
The use of polyprodrugs, which bind drugs to polymer chains through responsive linkers, is a potential technique for cancer therapy; however, a lack of endogenous triggering factors limits drug activation in tumor tissue. Herein, we rationally created a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive polyprodrug (TSCA/DOX) with cascade amplification of triggering agents and drug activation by incorporating both an ROS signal amplifier (TACA) and a drug activation amplifier (SIPDOX) into a delivery system. Endogenous ROS as a triggering mechanism kicked off the initial circulation phase to increase intracellular ROS signals. Subsequently, the enhanced ROS initiated the second degradation step, allowing the polyprodrug SIPDOX to fracture spontaneously in a domino-like fashion, resulting in self-accelerated drug activation in tumor tissue. Therefore, the polyprodrug created in this study with cascade amplification of drug activation holds great promise for effective cancer treatment.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a cluster of highly reactive and short-lived oxygen-containing molecules that lead to metabolic disorders where production exceeds catabolism in an organism. Many specific radiotracers for positron/single-photon emission tomography have been developed to reveal the discrepancy of ROS levels in normal and damaged tissues and further clarify the relationship between ROS and diseases. This review summarizes the advances achieved for the development of ROS radiotracers to date. The structure design, radiosynthesis, and imaging performance of existing radiotracers are discussed with the individual ROS-response mechanisms highlighted.

Abstract
Plant abiotic stress induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in leaves that can decrease photosynthetic performance and crop yield. Materials that scavenge ROS and simultaneously provide nutrients in vivo are needed to manage this stress. Here, we incorporated both ROS scavenging and ROS triggered agent release functionality into an ∼20 nm ROS responsive star polymer (RSP) poly(acrylic acid)-block-poly((2-(methylsulfinyl)ethyl acrylate)-co-(2-(methylthio)ethyl acrylate)) (PAA-b-P(MSEA-co-MTEA)) that alleviated plant stress by simultaneous ROS scavenging and nutrient agent release. Hyperspectral imaging indicates that all of the RSP penetrates through the tomato leaf epidermis, and 32.7% of the applied RSP associates with chloroplasts in mesophyll. RSP scavenged up to 10 μmol mg-1 ROS in vitro and suppressed ROS in vivo in stressed tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) leaves. Reaction of the RSP with H2O2in vitro enhanced the release of nutrient agent (Mg2+) from star polymers. Foliar applied RSP increased photosynthesis in plants under heat and light stress compared to untreated controls, enhancing the carbon assimilation, quantum yield of CO2 assimilation, Rubisco carboxylation rate, and photosystem II quantum yield. Mg loaded RSP improved photosynthesis in Mg deficient plants, mainly by promoting Rubisco activity. These results indicate the potential of ROS scavenging nanocarriers like RSP to alleviate abiotic stress in crop plants, allowing crop plants to be more resilient to heat stress, and potentially other climate change induced abiotic stressors.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in various physiological and pathological processes. Abnormally elevated ROS levels are generally related to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and tumors. Real-time imaging and quantification of ROS can not only provide new insight into mechanistic understanding of diseases associated with ROS but also facilitate high-throughput and high-content drug screening for these diseases. Here, the present protocol introduces ROS-responsive and self-illuminating nanoparticles with chemiluminescence (CL) and fluorescence (FL) properties that can serve as an effective nanoprobe for imaging of pathophysiology, including inflammation and tumor.

Abstract
Absorbent polymers or hydrogel polymer materials have an enhanced water retention capacity and are widely used in agriculture and medicine. The controlled release of bioactive molecules (especially drug proteins) by hydrogels and the encapsulation of living cells are some of the active areas of drug discovery research. Hydrogel-based delivery systems may result in a therapeutically advantageous outcome for drug delivery. They can provide various sequential therapeutic agents including macromolecular drugs, small molecule drugs, and cells to control the release of molecules. Due to their controllable degradability, ability to protect unstable drugs from degradation and flexible physical properties, hydrogels can be used as a platform in which various chemical and physical interactions with encapsulated drugs for controlled release in the system can be studied. Practically, hydrogels that possess biodegradable properties have aroused greater interest in drug delivery systems. The original three-dimensional structure gets broken down into non-toxic substances, thus confirming the excellent biocompatibility of the gel. Chemical crosslinking is a resource-rich method for forming hydrogels with excellent mechanical strength. But in some cases the crosslinker used in the synthesis of the hydrogels may cause some toxicity. However, the physically cross-linked hydrogel preparative method is an alternative solution to overcome the toxicity of cross-linkers. Hydrogels that are responsive to stimuli formed from various natural and synthetic polymers can show significant changes in their properties under external stimuli such as temperature, pH, light, ion changes, and redox potential. Stimulus-responsive hydrogels have a wider range of applications in biomedicine including drug delivery, gene delivery and tissue regeneration. Stimulus-responsive hydrogels loaded with multiple drugs show controlled and sustained drug release and can act as drug carriers. By integrating stimulus-responsive hydrogels, such as those with improved thermal responsiveness, pH responsiveness and dual responsiveness, into textile materials, advanced functions can be imparted to the textile materials, thereby improving the moisture and water retention performance, environmental responsiveness, aesthetic appeal, display and comfort of textiles. This review explores the stimuli-responsive hydrogels in drug delivery systems and examines super adsorbent hydrogels and their application in the field of agriculture.

Abstract
Hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) in the complexes between aldehydes and hydrogen chalcogenides, XCHO...nH2Z with X = H, F, Cl, Br, and CH3, Z = O, S, Se, and Te, and n = 1,2, were investigated using high-level ab initio calculations. The Csp2-H...O H-bonds are found to be about twice as strong as the Csp2-H...S/Se/Te counterparts. Remarkably, the S/Se/Te-H...S/Se/Te H-bonds are 4.5 times as weak as the O-H...O ones. The addition of the second H2Z molecule into binary systems induces stronger complexes and causes a positive cooperative effect in ternary complexes. The blue shift of Csp2-H stretching frequency involving the Csp2-H...Z H-bond sharply increases when replacing one H atom in HCHO by a CH3 group. In contrast, when one H atom in HCHO is substituted with a halogen, the magnitude of blue-shifting of the Csp2-H...Z H-bond becomes smaller. The largest blue shift up to 92 cm-1 of Csp2-H stretching frequency in Csp2-H...O H-bond in CH3CHO...2H2O has rarely been observed and is much greater than that in the cases of the Csp2-H...S/Se/Te ones. The Csp2-H blue shift of Csp2-H...Z bonds in the halogenated aldehydes is converted into a red shift when H2O is replaced by a heavier analogue, such as H2S, H2Se, or H2Te. The stability and classification of nonconventional H-bonds including Csp2-H...Se/Te, Te-H...Te, and Se/Te-H...O have been established for the first time.

We have developed a real-time and multifunctional doxifluridine-conjugate prodrug (LYX), which involved the preliminary methylfluorescein with 5-fluorouracil linker as protecting group, the targeting biotin unit, and a model therapeutic drug (doxifluridine). The shielding group (5'-DFUR) was found to be effective in prolonging circulation at physiological pH 7.4 and improving accumulation in the acidic microenvironment of the tumor. Based on this strategy, the stability and stimulus responsive properties of prodrug could enhance drug release efficiency and exhibit fewer side effects, thereby providing a unique opportunity for diagnosis and imaging additional analytes or enzymatic activities.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a colorimetric assay for detecting hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) through a combination of using an aryl boronate (AB) derivative and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The unique optical property of AuNPs is applied to design a detection probe. The aggregation of AuNPs could be directly observed as a color change by the naked eye. A mannoside-boronate-sulfide (MBS) ligand was designed that contains an arylboronate (AB), a mannoside, and a thiol group. The thiol group bonds covalently with the surface of AuNPs to obtain MBS@AuNPs. The mannoside moiety recognizes concanavalin A (Con A), a lectin with four carbohydrate recognition sites that can specifically recognize the non-reducing end of an α-D-mannoside or α-D-glucoside structure. The AB structure on MBS first reacts with H2 O2 and then inserts an oxygen atom in the B-H bond, which triggers intramolecular electron rearrangement to cleave the covalent bond, resulting in a MBSt mixture. The MBS or MBSt is then modified to citrate-coated AuNPs (c-AuNPs) to have MBS@AuNPs or MBSt@AuNPs. When the MBS@AuNPs are incubated with Con A, the Con A recognizes multiple mannosides on the surface of the MBS@AuNPs. Subsequently, the MBS@AuNPs aggregate and the solution's color changes from red to purple, but this color change does not occur in the case of MBSt@AuNPs. The phenomenon can be observed by the naked eye.

Abstract
A thioketal-linked dimer of 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine was prepared which underwent self-polymerisation in the presence of doxorubicin (Dox) in an ethanol/water (1 : 4, v/v) mixture with ammonia. The resulting Dox-encapsulated polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles were further conjugated with molecules of a zinc(II) phthalocyanine (Pc)-based photosensitiser and a peptide containing the heptapeptide QRHKPRE sequence (labelled as QRH) that can target the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpressed in cancer cells. Upon internalisation into these cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, these nanoparticles labelled as PDA-Dox-Pc-QRH were disassembled gradually via cleavage of the thioketal linkages by the intrinsic intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). The stacked Pc molecules were then disaggregated, resulting in activation of their photosensitising property upon irradiation. The ROS generated by the activated Pc promoted further degradation of the nanoparticles and release of Dox, thereby enhancing cell death by synergistic chemo and photodynamic therapy. Systemic injection of PDA-Dox-Pc-QRH into EGFR-overexpressed tumour-bearing nude mice led to targeted delivery to the tumour, and subsequent light irradiation caused complete tumour ablation without inducing notable toxicity.

Abstract
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a rare inherited blindness caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The disorder is untreatable and tricky, as the existing chemotherapeutic agent Idebenone alleviates symptoms rather than overcoming the underlying cause. Although some studies have made progress on allotopic expression for LHON, in situ mitochondrial gene therapy remains challenging, which may simplify delivery procedures to be a promising therapeutic for LHON. LHON becomes more difficult to manage in the changed mitochondrial microenvironment, including increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Herein, a pathologically responsive mitochondrial gene delivery vector named [triphenylphosphine-terminated poly(sulfur-containing thioketal undecafluorohexylamine histamine) and Ide-terminated poly(sulfur-containing thioketal undecafluorohexylamine histamine)] (TISUH) is reported to facilitate commendable in situ mitochondrial gene therapy for LHON. TISUH directly targets diseased mitochondria via triphenylphosphine and fluorination addressing the decreasing MMP. In addition, TISUH can be disassembled by high mitochondrial ROS levels to release functional genes for enhancing gene transfection efficiency and fundamentally correcting genetic abnormalities. In both traditional and gene-mutation-induced LHON mouse models, TISUH-mediated gene therapy shows satisfactory curative effect through the sustained therapeutic protein expression in vivo. This work proposes a novel pathologically responsive in situ mitochondrial delivery platform and provides a promising approach for refractory LHON as well as other mtDNA mutated diseases treatments.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoagents integrating multiple therapeutic and imaging functions hold promise in the field of non-invasive and precise tumor therapies. However, the complex preparation process and uncertain drug metabolism of nanoagents loaded with various therapeutic agents or imaging agents greatly hinder its clinical applications. Developing simple and effective nanoagents that integrate multiple therapeutic and imaging functions remain a huge challenge. Therefore, a novel strategy based on in situ hydrogen release is proposed in this work: aminoborane (AB) was loaded onto mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA NPs) as a prodrug for hydrogen production, and then, PEG was modified on the surface of nanoparticles (represented as AB@MPDA-PEG). MPDA NPs not only act as photothermal agents (PTA) with high photothermal conversion efficiency (808 nm, η = 38.72%) but also as the carriers of AB accumulated in the tumor through enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. H2 gas generated by AB in the weak acid conditions of the tumor microenvironment (TME) not only was used to treat tumors via a combination of hydrogen and photothermal therapies but also serves as a US and CT contrast agent, providing accurate guidance for tumor treatment. Finally, in vivo and in vitro investigation suggest that the designed multifunctional nanosystem not only showed excellent properties such as high hydrogen-loading capacity, long-lasting sustained hydrogen release ability and excellent biocompatibility but also achieve selective PTT/hydrogen therapies and US/CT bimodal imaging functions, which can effectively guide antitumor therapies. The proposed hydrogen gas-based strategy for combination therapies and bimodal imaging integration holds promise as an efficient and safe tumor treatment for future clinical translation.

Abstract
Intratumoral upregulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been extensively exploited as exclusive stimulus to activate drug release for tumor-specific therapy. However, insufficient endogenous ROS and tumor heterogeneity severely restrict clinical translation of current ROS-responsive drug delivery systems. Herein, a tailored ROS-activatable self-amplifying supramolecular nanoprodrug was developed for reinforced ROS-responsiveness and highly selective antitumor therapy. A novel ROS-cleavable CA-based thioacetal linker CASOH was synthesized with ROS generator cinnamaldehyde (CA) incorporated into its molecular structure, to skillfully realize self-amplifying positive feedback loop of "ROS-activated CA release with CA-induced ROS regeneration". CASOH was modified with a cytosine analogue gemcitabine (GEM) to obtain ROS-activatable self-immolative prodrug CAG, which could be selectively activated in tumor cells and further achieve self-boosting "snowballing" activation via ROS compensation, while keep inactive in normal cells. Through Watson-Crick nucleobase pairing (G≡C)-like hydrogen bonds, CAG efficiently crosslinked with a matched guanine-rich acyclovir-modified hyaluronic acid conjugate HA-ACV, to self-assemble into pH/ROS dual-responsive supramolecular nanoprodrug HCAG. With high stability, beneficial tumor targeting capacity and pH/ROS-responsiveness, HCAG nanoformulation exhibited remarkable in vivo antitumor efficacy with minimal systemic toxicity. Based on unique tumor-specific self-amplifying prodrug activation and Watson-Crick base pairing-inspired supramolecular self-assembly, this study provides an inspirational strategy of exploiting novel ROS-responsive nanoplatform with reinforced responsiveness and specificity for future clinical translation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and dissolved oxygen play key roles across many biological processes, and fluorescent stains and dyes are the primary tools used to quantify these species in vitro. However, spatio-temporal monitoring of ROS and dissolved oxygen in biological systems are challenging due to issues including poor photostability, lack of reversibility, and rapid off-site diffusion. In particular, ROS monitoring is hindered by the short lifetime of ROS molecules and their low abundance. The combination of nanomaterials and fluorescent detection has led to new opportunities for development of imaging probes, sensors, and theranostic products, because the scaffolds lead to improved optical properties, tuneable interactions with cells and media, and ratiometric sensing robust to environmental drift. In this review, we aim to critically assess and highlight recent development in nanosensors and nanomaterials used for the detection of oxygen and ROS in biological systems, and their future potential use as diagnosis tools.
