[PMID: 39047644 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.114109] [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: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Photoimmunotherapy represents an innovative approach to enhancing the efficiency of immunotherapy in cancer treatment. This approach involves the fusion of immunotherapy and phototherapy (encompassing techniques like photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT)). Boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) has the potential to trigger immunotherapy owing to its excellent PD and PT efficiency. However, the improvements in water solubility, bioavailability, PD/PT combined efficiency, and tumor tissue targeting of BODIPY require introduction of suitable carriers for potential practical application. Herein, a disulfide bond-based hollow mesoporous organosilica (HMON) with excellent biocompatibility and GSH-responsive degradation properties was used as a carrier to load a bithiophene Aza-BODIPY dye (B5), constructing a sample chemotherapy reagent-free B5@HMON nanoplatform achieving triple-synergistic photoimmunotherapy. HMON, involving disulfide bond, is utilized to improve water solubility, tumor tissue targeting, and PD efficiency by depleting GSH and enhancing host-guest interaction between B5 and HMO. The study reveals that HMON's large specific surface area and porous properties significantly enhance the light collection and oxygen adsorption capacity. The HMON's rich mesoporous structure and internal cavity achieved a loading rate of B5 at 11 %. It was found that the triple-synergistic nanoplatform triggered a stronger anti-tumor immune response, including tumor invasion, cytokine production, calreticulin translocation, and dendritic cell maturation, eliciting specific tumor-specific immunological responses in vivo and in vitro. The BALB/c mouse model with 4T1 tumors was used to assess tumor suppression efficiency in vivo, showing that almost all tumors in the B5@HMON group disappeared after 14 days. Such a simple chemotherapy reagent-free B5@HMON nanoplatform achieved triple-synergistic photoimmunotherapy.

Abstract
Cancer cells display elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and altered redox status. Herein, based on these characteristics, we present a multi-drug delivery platform, AMB@PDAP-Fe (APPF), from the magnetotactic bacterium AMB-1 and realize MRI-visualized tumor-microenvironment-responsive photothermal-chemodynamic therapy. The Fe3+ in PDAP-Fe is reduced by the GSH at the tumor site and is released in the form of highly active Fe2+, which catalyzes the generation of ROS through the Fenton reaction and inhibits tumor growth. At the same time, the significant absorption of the mineralized magnetosomes in AMB-1 cells in the NIR region enables them to efficiently convert near-infrared light into heat energy for photothermal therapy (PTT), to which PDAP also contributes. The heat generated in the PTT process accelerates the process of Fe2+ release, thereby achieving an enhanced Fenton reaction in the tumor microenvironment. In addition, the magnetosomes in AMB-1 are used as an MRI contrast agent, and the curing process is visualized. This tumor microenvironment-responsive MTB-based multi-drug delivery platform displays the potency to combat tumors and demonstrates the utility and practicality of understanding the cooperative molecular mechanism when designing multi-drug combination therapies.

Abstract
Conventional phototherapeutic agents are typically used in either photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photothermal therapy (PTT). However, efficacy is often hindered by hypoxia and elevated levels of heat shock proteins in the tumor microenvironment (TME). To address these limitations, a formylated, near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing and heavy-atom-free Aza-BODIPY dye is presented that exhibits both type-I and type-II PDT actions with a high yield of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and manifests efficient photothermal conversion by precise adjustments to the conjugate structure and electron distribution, leading to a large amount of ROS production even under severe hypoxia. To improve biosafety and water solubility, the dye with an amphiphilic triblock copolymer (Pluronic F-127), yielding BDP-6@F127 nanoparticles (NPs) is coated. Furthermore, inspired by the fact that phototherapy triggers the release of tumor-associated antigens, a strategy that leverages potential immune activation by combining PDT/PTT with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy to amplify the systemic immune response and achieve the much-desired abscopal effect is developed. In conclusion, this study presents a promising molecular design strategy that integrates multimodal therapeutics for a precise and effective approach to cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cancer treatment requires precise tumor-specific targeting at specific sites that allows for high-resolution diagnostic imaging and long-term patient-tailorable cancer therapy; while, minimizing side effects largely arising from non-targetability. This can be realized by harnessing exogenous remote stimuli, such as tissue-penetrative ultrasound, magnetic field, light, and radiation, that enable local activation for cancer imaging and therapy in deep tumors. A myriad of nanomedicines can be efficiently activated when the energy of such remote stimuli can be transformed into another type of energy. This review discusses the remote control of energy transformation for targetable, efficient, and long-term cancer imaging and therapy. Such ultrasonic, magnetic, photonic, radiative, and radioactive energy can be transformed into mechanical, thermal, chemical, and radiative energy to enable a variety of cancer imaging and treatment modalities. The current review article describes multimodal energy transformation where a serial cascade or multiple types of energy transformation occur. This review includes not only mechanical, chemical, hyperthermia, and radiation therapy but also emerging thermoelectric, pyroelectric, and piezoelectric therapies for cancer treatment. It also illustrates ultrasound, magnetic resonance, fluorescence, computed tomography, photoluminescence, and photoacoustic imaging-guided cancer therapies. It highlights afterglow imaging that can eliminate autofluorescence for sustained signal emission after the excitation.

Abstract
The determination of binding constants is a key matter in evaluating the strength of host-guest interactions. However, the profound impact of self-ion pairing on this parameter is often underrated in aqueous solution, leading in some cases to a misinterpretation of the true potential of supramolecular assemblies. In the present study, we aim to shed further light on this critical factor by exploring the concentration-dependent behavior of a multicharged pillararene in water. Our observations reveal an extraordinary 1-million-fold variability in the affinity of this macrocycle toward a given anion, showcasing the highly dynamic character of electrostatic interactions. We argue that these findings bring to the forefront the inherent determinism that underlies the estimation of affinity constants, a factor profoundly shaped by both the sensitivity of the instrumental technique in use and the intricacies of the experimental design itself. In terms of applications, these results may provide the opportunity to optimize the operational concentrations of multicharged hosts in different scenarios, aiming to achieve their maximum efficiency based on the intended application. Unlocking the potential of this hidden variability may pave the way for the creation of novel molecular materials with advanced functionalities.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising modality for cancer treatment, but its efficacy is often limited by tumour hypoxia. Here, we report the development of a novel protein-based, self-assembled nanoplatform, CAT-I-BODIPY NPs (CIB NPs), to address this limitation. We first design and synthesize an I-BODIPY photosensitizer based on the heavy atom effect and modification of the electron-donating group, which exhibits excellent capabilities in generating reactive oxygen species and enabling near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging. The incorporation of an oxygen-producing enzyme, catalase (CAT), within these nanoassemblies enables in situ oxygen generation to counteract hypoxic constraints. Controllable self-assembly by multiple supramolecular interactions into highly ordered architecture not only guarantees CAT's catalytic activity but also leads to excellent NIR fluorescence imaging ability and enhanced PDT efficacy. Notably, the visualization of optimal accumulation of CIB NPs within tumour sites 18 h post-injection offers precise PDT application guidance. Both in vitro and in vivo studies corroborate the remarkable anti-tumour efficacy of CIB NPs under NIR illumination, providing a significant advancement in PDT. The favourable biosafety profile of CIB NPs further emphasizes their potential for clinical application in hypoxic tumour therapy.

Abstract
Photoimmunotherapy has been acknowledged to be an unprecedented strategy to obtain significantly improved cancer treatment efficacy. In this regard, the exploitation of high-performance multimodal phototheranostic agents is highly desired. Apart from tailoring electron donors, acceptor engineering is gradually rising as a deliberate approach in this field. Herein, we rationally designed a family of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active compounds with the same donors but different acceptors based on the acceptor engineering. Through finely adjusting the functional groups on electron acceptors, the electron affinity of electron acceptors and the conformation of the compounds were simultaneously modulated. It was found that one of the molecules (named DCTIC), bearing a moderately electrophilic electron acceptor and the best planarity, exhibited optimal phototheranostic properties in terms of light-harvesting ability, fluorescence emission, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and photothermal performance. For the purpose of amplified therapeutic outcomes, DCTIC was fabricated into tumor and mitochondria dual-targeted DCTIC nanoparticles (NPs), which afforded good performance in the fluorescence/photoacoustic/photothermal trimodal imaging-guided photodynamic/photothermal-synergized cancer immunotherapy with the combination of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) antibody. Not only the primary tumors were totally eradicated, but efficient growth inhibition of distant tumors was also realized.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death and plays an important role in many diseases. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) play major roles in cell resistance to ferroptosis. Therefore, inactivation of these proteins provides an excellent opportunity for efficient ferroptosis-based synergistic cancer therapy. In this study, a multifunctional nanoagent (BPNpro ) containing a GPX4 targeting boron dipyrromethene (Bodipy) probe (BP) and a DHODH targeting proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) is reported. BPNpro is prepared using a nanoprecipitation method in the presence of a thermoresponsive liposome, where BP is encapsulated inside and the cathepsin B (CatB)-cleavable PROTAC peptide (DPCP) is modified on the outer surface. In the presence of near-infrared (NIR) photoirradiation, BPNpro is melted and BP is released in tumor cells. Subsequently, BP inhibits the activity of GPX4 by covalently bonding with the selenocysteine at the enzyme active site. In addition, DPCP achieves sustained degradation of DHODH upon activation by CatB overexpressed in the tumor. The synergistic deactivation of GPX4 and DHODH induces extensive ferroptosis and subsequent cell death. In vivo and in vitro studies clearly show that the proposed ferroptosis therapy provides excellent antitumor effect.

Abstract
T cells are an essential part of the immune system with crucial roles in adaptive response and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Depending on their microenvironment, T cells can be differentiated into multiple states with distinct functions. This myriad of cellular activities have prompted the development of numerous smart probes, ranging from small molecule fluorophores to nanoconstructs with variable molecular architectures and fluorescence emission mechanisms. In this Tutorial Review, we summarize recent efforts in the design, synthesis and application of smart probes for imaging T cells in tumors and inflammation sites by targeting metabolic and enzymatic biomarkers as well as specific surface receptors. Finally, we briefly review current strategies for how smart probes are employed to monitor the response of T cells to anti-cancer immunotherapies. We hope that this Review may help chemists, biologists and immunologists to design the next generation of molecular imaging probes for T cells and anti-cancer immunotherapies.

Abstract
The fact that multidrug resistance (MDR) could induce medical device-related infections, along with the invalidation of traditional antibiotics has become an intractable global medical issue. Therefore, there is a pressing need for innovative strategies of antibacterial functionalization of medical devices. For this purpose, a multimodal antibacterial coating that combines photothermal and photodynamic therapies (PTT/PDT) is developed here based on novel heavy atom-free photosensitizer compound, BDP-6 (a kind of boron-dipyrromethene). The photothermal conversion efficiency of BDP-6 is of 55.9%, which could improve biocompatibility during PTT/PDT process by reducing the exciting light power density. Furthermore, BDP-6, together with oxidized hyaluronic acid, is crosslinked with a natural polymer, gelatin, to fabricate a uniform coating (denoted as polyurethane (PU)-GHB) on the surface of polyurethane. PU-GHB has excellent synergistic in vitro PTT/PDT antibacterial performance against both susceptible bacteria and MDR bacteria. The antibacterial mechanisms are revealed as that hyperthermia could reduce the bacterial activity and enhance the permeability of inner membrane to reactive oxygen species by disturbing cell membrane. Meanwhile, in an infected abdominal wall hernia model, the notable anti-infection performance, good in vivo compatibility, and photoacoustic imaging property of PU-GHB are verified. A promising strategy of developing multifunctional antibacterial coatings on implanted medical devices is provided here.

Abstract
Multifunctional phototheranostics that integrate several diagnostic and therapeutic strategies into one platform hold great promise for precision medicine. However, it is really difficult for one molecule to possess multimodality optical imaging and therapy properties that all functions are in the optimized mode because the absorbed photoenergy is fixed. Herein, a smart one-for-all nanoagent that the photophysical energy transformation processes can be facilely tuned by external light stimuli is developed for precise multifunctional image-guided therapy. A dithienylethene-based molecule is designed and synthesized because it has two light-switchable forms. In the ring-closed form, most of the absorbed energy dissipates via nonradiative thermal deactivation for photoacoustic (PA) imaging. In the ring-open form, the molecule possesses obvious aggregation-induced emission features with excellent fluorescence and photodynamic therapy properties. In vivo experiments demonstrate that preoperative PA and fluorescence imaging help to delineate tumors in a high-contrast manner, and intraoperative fluorescence imaging is able to sensitively detect tiny residual tumors. Furthermore, the nanoagent can induce immunogenic cell death to elicit antitumor immunity and significantly suppress solid tumors. This work develops a smart one-for-all agent that the photophysical energy transformation and related phototheranostic properties can be optimized by light-driven structure switch, which is promising for multifunctional biomedical applications.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has been a revolutionary cancer treatment modality because it can not only eliminate primary tumors but also prevent metastases and recurrent tumors. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) induced by various treatment modalities, including chemotherapy, phototherapy, and radiotherapy, converts dead cancer cells into therapeutic vaccines, eliciting a systemic antigen-specific antitumor. However, the outcome effect of cancer immunotherapy induced by ICD has been limited due to the low accumulation efficiency of ICD inducers in the tumor site and concomitant damage to normal tissues. The boom in smart nanomaterials is conducive to overcoming these hurdles owing to their virtues of good stability, targeted lesion site, high bioavailability, on-demand release, and good biocompatibility. Herein, the design of targeted nanomaterials, various ICD inducers, and the applications of nanomaterials responsive to different stimuli, including pH, enzymes, reactive oxygen species, or dual responses are summarized. Furthermore, the prospect and challenges are briefly outlined to provide reference and inspiration for designing novel smart nanomaterials for immunotherapy induced by ICD.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) has become a prevalent choice owing to its appealing advantages like deep penetration depth, low autofluorescence, decent spatiotemporal resolution, and a high signal-to-background ratio. This would expedite the innovation of NIR-II imaging-guided drug delivery (IGDD) paradigms for the improvement of the prognosis of patients with tumors. This work systematically reviews the recent progress of such NIR-II IGDD-mediated cancer therapeutics and collectively brings its essence to the readers. Special care has been taken to assess their performances based on their design approach, such as enhancing their drug loading and triggering release, designing intrinsic and extrinsic fluorophores, and/ or overcoming biological barriers. Besides, the state-of-the-art NIR-II IGDD platforms for different therapies like chemo-, photodynamic, photothermal, chemodynamic, immuno-, ion channel, gas-therapies, and multiple functions such as stimulus-responsive imaging and therapy, and monitoring of drug release and therapeutic response, have been updated. In addition, for boosting theranostic outcomes and clinical translation, the innovation directions of NIR-II IGDD platforms are summarized, including renal-clearable, biodegradable, sub-cellular targeting, and/or afterglow, chemiluminescence, X-ray excitable NIR-IGDD, and even cell therapy. This review will propel new directions for safe and efficient NIR-II fluorescence-mediated anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Cancer treatment modalities have gradually shifted from monotherapies to multimodal therapies. It is still a challenge to develop a synergistic chemo-phototherapy system with relieving tumor hypoxia, specific targeting, and real-time fluorescence tracking. In this study, we designed a multifunctional BODIPY derivative, FBD-M, for synergistic chemo-phototherapy against hypoxic tumors. FBD-M was composed of four parts: 1) The BODIPY fluorophore selected as a theranostic core, 2) A pentafluorobenzene group modified on meso-BODIPY to carry oxygen, 3) A morpholine group hooked to one side of BODIPY served as a lysosome-targeting unit for enhancing antitumor effect, and 4) An aromatic nitrogen mustard group introduced on other side of BODIPY to achieve chemotherapy. After introducing the morpholine and aromatic nitrogen mustard in BODIPY, the conjugate system of BODIPY was also expanded to realize near-infrared (NIR) phototherapy. Finally, FBD-M was obtained by a rational design, which possessed with NIR absorbance and emission, photosensitive activity, oxygen-carrying capability for relieving tumor hypoxia, high photothermal conversion efficiency, good photostability, lysosome targeting, low toxicity, and synergistic chemo-phototherapy against hypoxic tumors. FBD-M had been successfully applied for anticancer in vitro and in vivo. Our study demonstrates that FBD-M can serve as an ideal multifunctional theranostic agents.

Abstract
Multiple charge separation has been successfully realized by a proton-coupled electron transfer reaction in an organic cocrystal. Benefiting from the adjustable electronic energy level of the electron donor and acceptor through thermal-induced proton migration, distinct optical absorption behaviors combined with color changes to blue or green are observed in these charge-separated states. It is of interest to note that such charge-separated states exhibit a longer lifetime of over a month as a result of the excellent coplanarity and π-π interaction of the electron acceptors. Moreover, the enhanced absorption toward longer wavelengths endows the charge-separated state with near-infrared (808 nm) photothermal conversion for imaging and bacterial inhibition, whereby the conversion performance can be controlled by the degree of proton migration.

Abstract
Phototheranostics have emerged and flourished as a promising pattern for cancer theranostics owing to their precise photoinduced diagnosis and therapeutic to meet the demands of precision medicine. The diagnosis information and therapeutic effect are directly determined by the fluorescence imaging ability and photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of phototheranostic agents. Hence, how to balance the competitive radiative and nonradiative processes of phototheranostic agents is the key factor to evaluate the phototheranostic effect. Herein, molecules named ICRs with high photostaibility are rationally designed, exhibiting fluorescence emission in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) and high PCE, which are related to the strong donor-acceptor (D-A) interaction and high reorganization energy Noteworthily, ICR-Qu with stronger D-A interaction and a large-sized conjugated unit encapsulated in nanoparticles exhibits high PCE (81.1%). In addition, ICR-QuNPs are used for fluorescence imaging (FLI), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and photothermal imaging (PTI) to guide deep-tissue photonic hyperthermia, achieving precise removal and inhibition of breast cancer. Furthermore, combined with α-PD-1, ICR-QuNPs show huge potential to be a facile and efficient tool for photo-immunotherapy. More importantly, this study not only reports an "all-in-one" polymethine-based phototheranostic agent, but also sheds light on the exploration of versatile organic molecules for future practical applications.

Abstract
Despite its promising potential in cancer treatment, synergistic photothermal/chemodynamic therapy remains underdeveloped with regard to the utilization of metal-organic materials under second near-infrared (NIR-II) laser excitation. Herein, we report a three-dimensional network constructed via the metal coordination between catechol-functionalized aza-boron dipyrromethenes and iron ions (ABFe), which was further encapsulated by F127 to obtain ABFe nanoparticles (NPs) for combined photothermal/chemodynamic therapy. ABFe NPs exhibited intense absorption in the NIR-II range and negligible fluorescence. Upon 1064 nm laser irradiation, ABFe NPs showed high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE = 55.0%) and excellent photothermal stability. The results of electron spin resonance spectra and o-phenylenediamine chromaticity spectrophotometry proved that ABFe NPs were capable of generating harmful reactive oxygen species from hydrogen peroxide for chemodynamic therapy, which was promoted by photothermal performance. Notably, in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the great potential of ABFe NPs in photoacoustic imaging and photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy under NIR-II laser irradiation. Therefore, the current work presents a prospective NIR-II excitation therapeutic nanomedicine for combination therapy, offering a novel strategy for simultaneously achieving extended NIR absorption of aza-BODIPY and enhanced chemodynamic therapy with metal-organic materials.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as one of the important strategies for cancer treatment due to its precision and no drug resistance. However, upregulation of heat shock protein (HSP) expression during PTT severely limits its overall therapeutic effect. Accordingly, in this study, we developed a new anticancer strategy based on an l-glutathione (GSH)-activated prodrug (Cy-S-S-Cbl), which consisted of an alkylating reagent (Cbl) covalently linked to a photothermal photosensitizer (Cy7), to achieve cooperatively enhanced photothermal-chemotherapy. In the presence of overexpressed GSH in cancer cells, Cy-S-S-Cbl was converted into Cy-NH2 to achieve photothermal effect enhancement by the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) effect and release the alkylation reagent. Meanwhile, the photothermal effect of Cy-NH2 enhanced the DNA alkylation of chemotherapy drugs. Surprisingly, we first found that the therapeutic efficacy of PTT was improved owing to the down-regulation of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) by chemotherapy. The two treatments had a synergistic promotion effect achieving higher cancer cell killing efficiency. Under 808 nm light irradiation, Cy-S-S-Cbl could effectively realize selective killing of cancer cells and tumor growth inhibition. Therefore, we strongly believe that this efficient cooperative design strategy will provide a new idea to improve the treatment efficiency of prodrugs.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to cause cell apoptosis and induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) to activate immune response, becoming a promising antitumor modality. However, the overexpressions of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) on tumor cells would reduce cytotoxic T cells infiltration and inhibit the immune activation. In this paper, a simple but effective nanosystem is developed to solve these issues for enhanced photodynamic immunotherapy. Specifically, it has been constructed a self-delivery biomedicine (CeNB) based on photosensitizer chlorine e6 (Ce6), IDO inhibitor (NLG919), and PD1/PDL1 blocker (BMS-1) without the need for extra excipients. Of note, CeNB possesses fairly high drug content (nearly 100%), favorable stability, and uniform morphology. More importantly, CeNB-mediated IDO inhibition and PD1/PDL1 blockade greatly improve the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments to promote immune activation. The PDT of CeNB not only inhibits tumor proliferation but also induces ICD response to activate immunological cascade. Ultimately, self-delivery CeNB tremendously suppresses the tumor growth and metastasis while leads to a minimized side effect. Such simple and effective antitumor strategy overcomes the therapeutic resistance against PDT-initiated immunotherapy, suggesting a potential for metastatic tumor treatment in clinic.
