Acidity-activatable dynamic hybrid nanoplatforms derived from extracellular vesicles of M1 macrophages enhance cancer immunotherapy through synergistic triple immunotherapy. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:430. [PMID: 39033108 PMCID: PMC11264854 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02719-7] [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: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Immunotherapy exhibits considerable promise for sustained tumor reduction. However, current cancer immunotherapy methods elicit limited responses due to the inadequate immunogenicity exhibited by cancer cells. This obstacle may be addressed using nanoplatforms that can activate synergistic therapies (photodynamic therapy and ferroptosis) in response to the acidic pH of the tumor microenvironment. We previously developed an amphiphilic photosensitizer, SR780, which displays satisfactory photodynamic effects. This photosensitizer is inactivated when bound to Fe3+ (SR780Fe) but is activated upon release in mildly acidic conditions. In this study, M1 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) were fused with REV and SR780Fe-loaded liposomes (REV@SR780Fe@Lip) to form REV@SR780Fe@LEV hybrid nanovesicles. Further modification with the RS17 peptide for tumor targeting enabled a combination of photodynamic therapy, ferroptosis, and cGAS-STING pathway activation, resulting in enhanced antitumor efficacy through a synergistic effect. Upon laser irradiation, REV@SR780Fe@LEV-RS17 demonstrated antitumor effects in 4T1 breast cancer models, including the inhibition of lung and liver metastasis, as well as prevention of tumor recurrence.

Abstract
Nanoformulations with endogenous/exogenous stimulus-responsive characteristics show great potential in tumor cell elimination with minimal adverse effects and high precision. Herein, an intelligent nanotheranostic platform (denoted as TPZ@Cu-SnS2-x /PLL) for tumor microenvironment (TME) and near-infrared light (NIR) activated tumor-specific therapy is constructed. Copper (Cu) doping and the resulting sulfur vacancies can not only improve the response range of visible light but also improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers and increase the carrier density, resulting in the ideal photothermal and photodynamic performance. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the introduction of Cu and resulting sulfur vacancies can induce electron redistribution, achieving favorable photogenerated electrons. After entering cells through endocytosis, the TPZ@Cu-SnS2-x /PLL nanocomposites show the pH responsivity property for the release of the TPZ selectively within the acidic TME, and the released Cu2+ can first interact with local glutathione (GSH) to deplete GSH with the production of Cu+ . Subsequently, the Cu+ -mediated Fenton-like reaction can decompose local hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals, which can also be promoted by hyperthermia derived from the photothermal effect for tumor cell apoptosis. The integration of photoacoustic/computed tomography imaging-guided NIR phototherapy, TPZ-induced chemotherapy, and GSH-elimination/hyperthermia enhanced chemodynamic therapy results in synergistic therapeutic outcomes without obvious systemic toxicity in vivo.

Acta Biomater 2024; 173:457-469. [PMID: 37984631 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.11.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are promising in tumor treatments due to their capacity for magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and immuno-related therapies, but still suffer from unsatisfactory tumor inhibition in the clinic. Insufficient hydrogen peroxide supply, glutathione-induced resistance, and high-density extracellular matrix (ECM) are the barriers. Herein, we hierarchically decorated MNPs with disulfide bonds (S-S), dendritic L-arginine (R), and glucose oxidase (GOx) to form a nanosystem (MNPs-SS-R-GOx). Its outer GOx layer not only enhanced the H2O2 supply to produce .OH by Fenton reaction, but also generated stronger oxidants (ONOO-) together with the interfaced R layer. The inner S-S layer consumed glutathione to interdict its reaction with oxidants, thus enhancing CDT effects. Importantly, the generated ONOO- tripled the MMP-9 expression to induce ECM degradation, enabling much deeper penetration of MNPs and benefiting CDT, MHT, and immunotherapy. Finally, the MNPs-SS-R-GOx demonstrated a remarkable 91.7% tumor inhibition in vivo. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are a promising tumor therapeutic agent but with limited effectiveness. Our hierarchical MNP design features disulfide bonds (S-S), dendritic L-arginine (R), and glucose oxidase (GOx), which boosts H2O2 supply for ·OH generation in Fenton reactions, produces potent ONOO-, and enhances chemodynamic therapy via glutathione consumption. Moreover, the ONOO- facilitates the upregulation of matrix metalloprotein expression beneficial for extracellular matrix degradation, which in turn enhances the penetration of MNPs and benefits the antitumor CDT/MHT/immuno-related therapy. In vivo experiments have demonstrated an impressive 91.7% inhibition of tumor growth. This hierarchical design offers groundbreaking insights for further advancements in MNP-based tumor therapy. Its implications extend to a broader audience, encompassing those interested in material science, biology, oncology, and beyond.

Abstract
The activable NIR-based phototheranostic nanoplatform (NP) is considered an efficient and reliable tumor treatment due to its strong targeting ability, flexible controllability, minimal side effects, and ideal therapeutic effect. This work describes the rational design of a second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging-guided organic phototheranostic NP (FTEP-TBFc NP). The molecular-engineered phototheranostic NP has a sensitive response to glutathione (GSH), generating hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas, and delivering ferrocene molecules in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Under 808 nm irradiation, FTEP-TBFc could not only simultaneously generate fluorescence, heat, and singlet oxygen but also greatly enhance the generation of reactive oxygen species to improve chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) at a biosafe laser power of 0.33 W/cm2. H2S inhibits the activity of catalase and cytochrome c oxidase (COX IV) to cause the enhancement of CDT and hypothermal photothermal therapy (HPTT). Moreover, the decreased intracellular GSH concentration further increases CDT's efficacy and downregulates glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) for the accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides, thus causing the ferroptosis process. Collectively, FTEP-TBFc NPs show great potential as a versatile and efficient NP for specific tumor imaging-guided multimodal cancer therapy. This unique strategy provides new perspectives and methods for designing and applying activable biomedical phototheranostics.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can generate reactive oxygen species to kill cancer cells by activating sonosensitizers under ultrasound (US) irradiation. Nevertheless, its application is greatly limited by low quantum yield of sonosensitizers, high levels of endogenous glutathione (GSH) and tumor hypoxia. Herein, a GSH-activated sonosensitizers with synergistic therapy effect (chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and SDT) are developed by depositing Fe(III)-artemisinin infinite coordination polymers (Fe(III)-ART CPs) in pores of mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs). The formed Fe(III)-ART-TiO2 NPs have high sono-induced electron-hole separation efficiency because the deposited Fe(III)-ART CPs can provide isolated intermediate bands to capture sono-induced electrons in TiO2 NPs. Meanwhile, Fe3+ in Fe(III)-ART-TiO2 NPs are reduced to Fe2+ by GSH with oxygen-deficient sites generated to further capture sono-induced electrons in TiO2 NPs. Based on this, the reaction efficiency between water molecules and sono-induced holes is high enough to generate numerous hydroxyl radicals (•OH) without oxygen participated for overcoming tumor hypoxia. Additionally, through consuming GSH, the generated Fe2+ can catalyze ART to produce C-centered free radicals for CDT. Owing to these characteristics, Fe(III)-ART-TiO2 NPs show significant tumor suppression ability and good biocompatibility in vivo. The strategy of using CDT agent to modify sonosensitizers offers new options to improve SDT effect without introducing harmful substances.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing cancer therapy, and catalyzes the emerging of ion-involved cancer-therapeutic modality, which unfortunately suffers from undesirable nanocarriers for efficient intracellular ion delivery. To radically extricate from this critical issue, the glutathione (GSH)-responsive organosilica network is employed to lock the liquid drops at the nanoscale via a general bottom-up strategy to achieve the systemic delivery of "ion drugs". In this work, a sulfate radical generation donor (Na2 S2 O8 ), as a paradigm "ion drug", is entrapped into this liquid nanoparticle for efficiently delivering to the tumor region. After further surface engineering with pH-responsive tannic acid-Fe2+ framework, these liquid nanoparticles achieve tumor-microenvironmental pH/GSH-dual responsive ion release (Fe2+ /Na+ /S2 O8 2- ) after reaching the tumor sites, where the Fe2+ further triggers S2 O8 2- to generate toxic •SO4 - and •OH, effectively executing cancer cell ferroptosis (Fe2+ , reactive oxygen species-ROS) and pyroptosis (Na+ , ROS). Such a tumor-responsive/specific liquid nanoplatform is highly instructive for further ion-mediated nanomedicine and disease treatment.

Abstract
Cancer has always posed a significant threat to human health, prompting extensive research into new treatment strategies due to the limitations of traditional therapies. Starvation therapy (ST) has garnered considerable attention by targeting the primary energy source, glucose, utilized by cancer cells for proliferation. Glucose oxidase (GOx), a catalyst facilitating glucose consumption, has emerged as a critical therapeutic agent for ST. However, mono ST alone struggles to completely suppress tumor growth, necessitating the development of synergistic therapy approaches. Metal catalysts possess enzyme-like functions and can serve as carriers, capable of combining with GOx to achieve diverse tumor treatments. However, ensuring enzyme activity preservation in normal tissue and activation specifically within tumors presents a crucial challenge. Nanodelivery systems offer the potential to enhance therapy effectiveness by improving the stability of therapeutic agents and enabling controlled release. This review primarily focuses on recent advances in the mechanism of GOx combined with metal catalysts for synergistic tumor therapy. Furthermore, it discusses various nanoparticles (NPs) constructs designed for synergistic therapy in different carrier categories. Finally, this review provides a summary of GOx-metal catalyst-based NPs (G-M) and offers insights into the challenges associated with G-M therapy, delivery design, and oxygen (O2) supply.

Abstract
It is well established that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is associated with the initiation and progression of many diseases.

Biomaterials 2023; 300:122205. [PMID: 37348324 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2023.122205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023]
Abstract
The use of overwhelming reactive oxygen species (ROS) attack has shown great potential for treating aggressive malignancies; however, targeting this process for further applications is greatly hindered by inefficiency and low selectivity. Here, a novel strategy for ROS explosion induced by tumor microenvironment-initiated lipid redox cycling was proposed, which was developed by using soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) to encapsulate lactate oxidase (LOX) and sorafenib (SRF) self-assembled nanoparticles (NPs), named LOX/SRF@Lip. SPC is not only the delivery carrier but an unsaturated lipid supplement for ROS explosion. And LOX catalyzes excessive intratumoral lactate to promote the accumulation of large amounts of H2O2. Then, H2O2 reacts with excessive endogenous iron ions to generate amounts of hydroxyl radical for the initiation of SPC peroxidation. Once started, the reaction will proceed via propagation to form new lipid peroxides (LPO), resulting to devastating LPO explosion and widespread oxidative damage in tumor cells. Furthermore, SRF makes contribution to mass LPO accumulation by inhibiting LPO elimination. Compared to normal tissue, tumor tissue has higher levels of lactate and iron ions. Therefore, LOX/SRF@Lip shows low toxicity in normal tissues, but generates efficient inhibition on tumor proliferation and metastasis, enabling excellent and safe tumor-specific therapy. This work offers new ideas on how to magnify anticancer effect of ROS through rational nanosystem design and tumor-specific microenvironment utilization.

Abstract
In recent years, the association of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) with photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted much attention due to their mutually reinforced property. Nevertheless, how to further strengthen their performance is still a big challenge. Given the PDT/CDT therapeutic mechanism, the H2O2 amount might affect their final performance. Thus, in this paper, our synthesized pH-responsive Fenton agents (ferrocene-cinnamaldehyde conjugates, Fc-CA) were encapsulated in hyaluronic acid (HA) coated porphyrin-based MOF to obtain supramolecular nano-particles (Fc-CA-PCN-HA). After the CD44-receptor mediated internalization, the released Fc-CA could further dissociate in the acidic pH micro-environment. The released CA can activate the NADPH oxidase to elevate the H2O2 amount which could be preferable to produce more ·OH through Fenton reaction for cancer cells apoptosis. Additionally, O2 was also generated in the CDT which could alleviate tumor hypoxia condition and be provided as the reactant for PDT to produce more 1O2. Thus, given the excellent cascade reactions induced therapeutic performance of Fc-CA-PCN-HA in vitro and in vivo, the H2O2-elevation strategy might further enhance the PDT/CDT outcomes.

Abstract
Nowadays, Fenton chemistry-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging approach to killing tumor cells by converting endogenous H2 O2 into cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH). However, the elimination of ·OH by intracellular overexpressed glutathione (GSH) results in unsatisfactory antitumor efficiency. In addition, the single mode of consuming GSH and undesirable drug loading efficiency cannot guarantee the efficient cancer cells killing effect. Herein, a simple one-step strategy for the construction of Fe3+ -naphthazarin metal-phenolic networks (FNP MPNs) with ultrahigh loading capacity, followed by the modification of NH2 -PEG-NH2 , is developed. The carrier-free FNP MPNs can be triggered by acid and GSH, and rapidly release naphthazarin and Fe3+ , which is further reduced to Fe2+ that exerts Fenton catalytic activity to produce abundant ·OH. Meanwhile, the Michael addition between naphthazarin and GSH can lead to GSH depletion and thus achieve tumor microenvironment (TME)-triggered enhanced CDT, followed by activating ferroptosis and apoptosis. In addition, the reduced Fe2+ as a T1 -weighted contrast agent endows the FNP MPNs with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) functionality. Overall, this work is the debut of naphthazarin as ligands to fabricate functional MPNs for effectively depleting GSH, disrupting intracellular redox homeostasis, and enhancing CDT effects, which opens new perspectives on multifunctional MPNs for tumor synergistic therapy.

Abstract
Medicinal plants are a rich source of antioxidants such as flavonoids, phenols, tannins, and alkaloids among others and are currently used as alternative and complementary drugs in the management of stress-related disorders. Strychnos henningsii and Ficus sycomorus have been traditionally used by the people of Mbeere, Embu county, Kenya, as medicine for the treatment of various oxidative stress-related disorders such as diabetes and rheumatism; however, no empirical data are available to authenticate the said claim. The aim of this study was to evaluate preliminary phytochemical screening and in vitro antioxidant activity of dichloromethane (DCM) leaf extract of S. henningsii and stem bark extract of F. sycomorus using DPPH, hydrogen peroxide, and ferric reducing power assays; total flavonoids and phenolic compounds were also determined by colorimetric assay and Folin–Ciocalteu reaction, respectively. Phytochemical screening showed that both extracts possessed saponins, flavonoids, phenols, steroids, alkaloids, and cardiac glycosides; however, terpenoids were found to be absent in S. henningsii. The total phenolic and flavonoid content of the DCM stem bark extract of F. sycomorus was lower than that of the leaf extract of S. henningsii. These extracts significantly exhibited strong antioxidant activities at different concentrations tested. The IC50 values of S. henningsii and F. sycomorus were 0.325 mg/ml and 0.330 mg/ml for hydrogen peroxide and 0.068 mg/ml and 0.062 mg/ml for DPPH, respectively. Both DCM leaf and stem bark extracts of S. henningsii and F. sycomorus were found to have strong ferric reducing power. Therefore, both extracts showed significant nonenzyme-based antioxidant activities. The two plants possess phytochemicals that have significant antioxidant properties.

Abstract
The development of dual chemodynamic therapy and NO therapy can significantly improve the efficiency of cancer treatment. Therefore, designing a multifunctional agent to take full advantage of them and maximize their therapeutic effect remains a challenging goal. Herein, we have developed a novel LDHzyme by the confinement of L-arginine (L-Arg) on the surface of Mn-LDH nanosheets. The LDHzyme can exhibit multiple enzyme-like catalytic activities, including peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), and nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Based on these enzyme-mimicking properties, LDHzyme possesses significant catalytic efficiency with a high maximum velocity of 1.41 × 10-6 M s-1, which is higher than the majority of other nanozymes. In addition, this LDHzyme can exhibit outstanding NO-enhanced lethality of ROS and further improve its efficacy. The therapeutic effect of LDHzyme has been verified to significantly inhibit tumor growth in HeLa xenograft Balb/c nude mice models, as demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo models, revealing the promising prospects of NO-enhanced multi-enzyme dynamic therapy (MDT). These results open up an opportunity to enable the utilization of an LDH-based nanozyme as a curative nanosystem to inhibit tumor growth.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in physiological and pathological processes, emerging as a therapeutic target in cancer. Owing to the high concentration of ROS in solid tumor tissues, ROS-based treatments, such as photodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy, and ROS-responsive drug delivery systems have been widely explored to powerfully and specifically suppress tumors. However, their anticancer efficacy is still hampered by the heterogeneous ROS levels, and thus comprehensively upregulating the ROS levels in tumor tissues can ensure an enhanced therapeutic effect, which can further sensitize and/or synergize with other therapies to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. Herein, we review the recently emerging drug delivery strategies and technologies for increasing the H2O2, ˙OH, 1O2, and ˙O2- concentrations in cancer cells, including the efficient delivery of natural enzymes, nanozymes, small molecular biological molecules, and nanoscale Fenton-reagents and semiconductors and neutralization of intracellular antioxidant substances and localized input of mechanical and electromagnetic waves (such as ultrasound, near infrared light, microwaves, and X-rays). The applications of these ROS-upregulating nanosystems in enhancing and synergizing cancer therapies including chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy are surveyed. In addition, we discuss the challenges of ROS-upregulating systems and the prospects for future studies.

Abstract
Some cellular enzymatic pathways are located within a single organelle, while most others involve enzymes that are located within multiple compartmentalized cellular organelles to realize the efficient multi-step enzymatic process. Herein, bioinspired by enzyme-mediated biosynthesis and biochemical defense, a compartmented nanoreactor (Burr-NCs@GlSOD ) was constructed through a self-confined catalysis strategy with burr defect-engineered molybdenum disulfide/Prussian blue analogues (MoS2 /PBA) and an interfacial diffusion-controlled hydrogel network. The specific catalytic mechanism of the laccase-like superactivity induced hydrogelation and cascade enzyme catalytic therapy were explored. The confined hydrogelation strategy introduces a versatile means for nanointerface functionalization and provides insight into biological construction of simulated enzymes with comparable activity and also the specificity to natural enzymes.

Abstract
Ferrous and sulfur ions are essential elements for the human body, which play an active role in maintaining the body's normal physiology. Meanwhile, mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) possesses good hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. In the present work, ferrous sulfide embedded into polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA@FeS NPs) was designed and synthesized via a simple predoping polymerization-coprecipitation strategy and the intelligent PDA matrix successfully prevented the oxidation and agglomeration of FeS nanoparticles. Importantly, there was an obvious synergistic enhancement of the photothermal effect between polydopamine and ferrous sulfide. The PDA@FeS NPs exhibited excellent photothermal antibacterial effects against both E. coli and S. aureus. The near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated release of ferrous ions could reach about 26.5% under weakly acidic conditions, further triggering the Fenton reaction to produce toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The antibacterial mechanism could be attributed to cell membrane damage and cellular content leakage with the synergistic effect of PTT and CDT. This study highlighted the germicidal efficacy of PDA@FeS NPs and provided a new strategy for designing and developing next-generation antibacterial platforms.

Abstract
To overcome drug resistance and improve precision theranostics for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a nanoplatform with an "off/on" function for multimodality imaging (near-infrared-II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and photoacoustic imaging) and synergistic therapy (photodynamic therapy and ferroptosis) activated by an acidic pH in the tumor microenvironment is proposed. Although many photosensitizers with photodynamic effects have been reported, very few of them have outstanding photodynamic effect and high stability with response to endogenous stimuli capable of NIR-II imaging. Herein, a new amphiphilic photosensitizer SR780 derived from croconaine dye, was developed with satisfactory photodynamic effects and pH-responsive NIR-II imaging. Interestingly, it was deactivated by coordination with Fe3+ (SR780@Fe) and activated during their release under mild acidic condition. Ferroptosis can generate hydroxyl free radical and lipid peroxide, which aggravate the oxidative stress of tumor cells and mediate their death while depleting glutathione (GSH) to enhance photodynamic effect. In situ pH-activatable theranostic nanoplatform, SR780@Fe-PAE-GP, was thus developed by loading SR780@Fe with pH-responsive polymers, modified by a glypican-3 (GPC-3) receptor-targeting peptide. The synergistic antitumor effects were confirmed both in vitro and in vivo, and the tumor inhibition rate of the SR780@Fe-PAE-GP + L treatment group reached 98%.

Abstract
In this study, functional twin liposomes (TLs) were designed by linking avidin-anchored single liposomes and biotin-anchored single liposomes via avidin-biotin interactions. Here, we first punched a hole on the liposome surface using the liposome magnetoporation method to prepare functional single liposomes, which were used for safely encapsulating quercetin (QER, as a model prodrug) or laccase (LAC, as a bioactive enzyme) inside the liposomes without the use of organic solvents; the pores were then plugged by pH-sensitive glycol chitosan grafted with 3-diethylaminopropylamine (GDEAP) and avidin (or biotin). As a result, single liposomes with QER and biotin-GDEAP were efficiently coupled with other liposomes with LAC and avidin-GDEAP. We demonstrated that the TLs could accelerate QER and LAC release at acidic pH (6.8), improving the LAC-mediated oxidization of QER and significantly elevating tumor cell death, suggesting that this strategy can be used as an efficient method for the programmed action of prodrugs.

Abstract
The high adhesive property of polydopamine (PDA) has spurred various hydrogels for biological and medical applications. Herein, a dual-catalytic redox system was constructed by using the inner dynamic redox-activity of PDA and free radical initiator ammonium persulfate (APS) to initiate the polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) monomer to obtain Fe-PDA hydrogels within 2 h at room temperature. Fe-PDA NPs functions as both initiator to activate APS to generate free radicals and promotes the formation of the hydrogel and dynamic cross-linking mediator between the polymer chains. The tensile strength and ductility of the obtained hydrogels vary with the content of Fe-PDA NPs. Hydrogel with 0.15 wt% of Fe-PDA NPs has the highest tensile strength (~0.62 MPa) and hydrogel with 0.6 wt% of Fe-PDA NPs has the highest elongation, about ~650%. The introduction of PDA NPs imparts PAA hydrogel with reproducible adhesive properties and self-healing ability. The doped iron ion further endows hydrogel enhanced photothermal properties (up to 160 ℃ with 808 nm laser irradiation for 120 s) and conductivity.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has attracted increasing attention in tumor treatment but is limited by insufficient endogenous H2O2. Moreover, it is challenging for monotherapy to achieve a satisfactory outcome due to tumor complexity. Herein, we developed an intelligent nanoplatform that could respond to a tumor microenvironment to induce efficient CDT without complete dependence on H2O2 and concomitantly generate chemotherapy and oncosis therapy (OT). The nanoplatform was constructed by a calcium- and iron-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticle (CFMSN) loaded with dihydroartemisinin (DHA). After entering into cancer cells, the nanoplatform could directly convert the intracellular H2O2 into toxic •OH due to the Fenton-like activity of CFMSN. Meanwhile, the acidic microenvironment and endogenous chelating molecules triggered Ca2+ and Fe3+ release from the nanoplatform, causing particle collapse with accompanying DHA release for chemotherapy. Simultaneously, the released Ca2+ induced intracellular Ca2+-overloading for OT, which was further enhanced by DHA, while the released Fe3+ was reduced to reactive Fe2+ by intracellular glutathione, guaranteeing efficient Fenton reaction-mediated CDT. Moreover, Fe2+ cleaved the peroxy bonds of DHA to generate C-centered radicals to further amplify CDT. Both in vitro and in vivo results confirmed that the nanoplatform exhibited excellent anticancer efficacy via the synergistic effect of multi therapeutic modalities, which is extremely promising for high-efficient cancer therapy.

Acta Biomater 2022; 141:429-439.

Abstract
Manganese has recently been exploited for cancer immunotherapy, fenton-like reaction-mediated chemo-dynamic therapy, and magnetic resonance imaging. The integration of multiple roles of manganese into one platform is of great significance for cancer theranostics and tumor inhibition. Here, we designed a multifunctional nanoplatform based on manganese, which consisted of a manganese-containing inner core and a phospholipid bilayer shell co-loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx), paclitaxel (PTX), and a NIR fluorescent dye (NanoMn-GOx-PTX). In a pH-dependent manner, the nanoplatform released manganese ions and payloads inside the tumor cells. In vitro characterization and cellular experiments indicated that NanoMn-GOx-PTX could catalyze the conversion of glucose into reactive oxygen species (ROS) through a cascade Fenton-like reaction as well as release free PTX. The consumption of glucose, ROS production, and the chemotherapeutic effect of PTX contributed to the superior cytotoxicity and apoptosis of 4T1 cancer cells. Moreover, NanoMn-GOx-PTX effectively induced the production of large amounts of type I interferon and pro-inflammatory cytokines in vivo, activating the innate immune response. Through the synergistic functions of the above components, NanoMn-GOx-PTX exerted the strongest anti-tumor effect in 4T1 tumor-bearing models. Therefore, the manganese-based nanoplatform could serve as a promising theranostic tool for breast cancer therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1) This nanoplatform can be used as a universal tool for delivering proteins and anticancer drugs into cells; 2) The PEG-modified phospholipid bilayer shell plays a significant role in retarding the release of overloaded manganese ions and drugs in a pH-sensitive manner; 3) The released Mn2+ has the ability to enhance T1 contrast in magnetic resonance imaging; 4) The released Mn2+ can function as nanoadjuvants to activate the cGAS-STING pathway and effectively induce the natural immune response;5) The overloaded manganese ions are combined with glucose oxidase to form a cascade reaction system, indirectly converting glucose into ROS to induce oxidative damage of tumor tissue.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a novel cancer therapeutic strategy defined as the treatment using Fenton or Fenton-like reaction to produce •OH in the tumor region, was first proposed by Bu, Shi, and co-workers in 2016. Recently, with the rapid development of Fenton and Fenton-like nanomaterials, CDT has attracted tremendous attention because of its unique advantages: 1) It is tumor-selective with low side effects; 2) the CDT process does not depend on external field stimulation; 3) it can modulate the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment; 4) the treatment cost of CDT is low. In addition to the Fe-involved CDT strategies, the Fenton-like reaction-mediated CDT strategies have also been proposed, which are based on many other metal elements including copper, manganese, cobalt, titanium, vanadium, palladium, silver, molybdenum, ruthenium, tungsten, cerium, and zinc. Moreover, CDT has been combined with other therapies like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, sonodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy for achieving enhanced anticancer effects. Besides, there have also been studies that extend the application of CDT to the antibacterial field. This review introduces the latest advancements in the nanomaterials-involved CDT from 2018 to the present and proposes the current limitations as well as future research directions in the related field.

Abstract
Photoactivated therapeutic strategies (photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy), due to the adjusted therapeutic area, time and light dosage, have prevailed for the fight against tumors. Currently, the monotherapy with limited treatment effect and undesired side effects is gradually replaced by multimodal and multifunctional nanosystems. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with unique physicochemical advantages, such as huge specific surface area, controllable pore size and morphology, functionalized modification, satisfying biocompatibility and biodegradability, are considered as promising candidates for multimodal photoactivated cancer therapy. Excitingly, the innovative nanoplatforms based on the mesoporous silica nanoparticles provide more and more effective treatment strategies and display excellent antitumor potential. Given the rapid development of antitumor strategies based on MSNs, this review summarizes the current progress in MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy, mainly consists of (1) photothermal therapy-related theranostics; (2) photodynamic therapy-related theranostics; (3) multimodal synergistic therapy, such as chemo-photothermal-photodynamic therapy, phototherapy-immunotherapy and phototherapy-radio therapy. Based on the limited penetration of irradiation light in photoactivated therapy, the challenges faced by deep-seated tumor therapy are fully discussed, and future clinical translation of MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy are highlighted.
