Hyaluronic acid-coated porphyrin nanoplatform with oxygen sustained supplying and glutathione depletion for enhancing photodynamic/ion/chemo synergistic cancer treatment. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 278:134661. [PMID: 39128741 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134661] [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: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
Hypoxia and high concentration of glutathione (GSH) in tumor seriously hinder the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxygen-dependence strategy in tumor treatment. In this work, a self-generating oxygen and self-consuming GSH hyaluronic acid (HA)-coated porphyrin nanoplatform (TAPPP@CaO2/Pt(IV)/HA) is established for enhancing photodynamic/ion/chemo targeting synergistic therapy of tumor. During the efforts of ROS production by nanosystems, a GSH consuming strategy is implemented for augmenting ROS-induced oxidative damage for synergetic cancer therapy. CaO2 in the nanosystems is decomposed into O2 and H2O2 in an acidic environment, which alleviates hypoxia and enhances the photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect. Calcium overload causes mitochondria dysfunction and induces apoptosis. Pt (IV) reacts with GSH to produce Pt (II) for chemotherapy and reduce the concentration of GSH, protecting ROS from scavenging for augmenting ROS-induced oxidative damage. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated the self-generating oxygen and self-consuming GSH strategy can enhance ROS-dependent PDT coupled with ion/chemo synergistic therapy. The proposed strategy not only solves the long-term problem that hypoxia limits therapeutic effect of PDT, but also ameliorates the highly reducing environment of tumors. Thus the preparation of TAPPP@CaO2/Pt(IV)/HA provided a novel strategy for the effective combined therapy of cancers.

Abstract
Engineering multimetallic nanocatalysts with the entropy-mediated strategy to reduce reaction activation energy is regarded as an innovative and effective approach to facilitate efficient heterogeneous catalysis. Accordingly, conformational entropy-driven high-entropy alloys (HEAs) are emerging as a promising candidate to settle the catalytic efficiency limitations of nanozymes, attributed to their versatile active site compositions and synergistic effects. As proof of the high-entropy nanozymes (HEzymes) concept, elaborate PdMoPtCoNi HEA nanowires (NWs) with abundant active sites and tuned electronic structures, exhibiting peroxidase-mimicking activity comparable to that of natural horseradish peroxidase are reported. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the enhanced electron abundance of HEA NWs near the Fermi level (EF) is facilitated via the self-complementation effect among the diverse transition metal sites, thereby boosting the electron transfer efficiency at the catalytic interface through the cocktail effect. Subsequently, the HEzymes are integrated with a portable electronic device that utilizes Internet of Things-driven signal conversion and wireless transmission functions for point-of-care diagnosis to validate their applicability in digital biosensing of urinary biomarkers. The proposed HEzymes underscore significant potential in enhancing nanozymes catalysis through tunable electronic structures and synergistic effects, paving the way for reformative advancements in nano-bio analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overcoming radio-resistance and enhance radio-sensitivity to obtain desired therapeutic outcome plays an important role in treating cancer. METHODS Here we constructed a versatile enzyme-like nano-radiosensitizer MDP. MDP is composed of MnCO decorated and Ru-based nanozyme with triphenylphosphine (TPP) group coordinated on the surface. RESULTS Due to the mitochondria-targeting ability of TPP and enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR) effect of MDP, MDP accumulated in the mitochondria of tumor cells. Therefore, quantities of reactive oxygen species were produced via multiple enzyme-like properties including peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) in a tumor microenvironment mimicking status. In additional, more energy of radiation ionizing was deposed in tumor site via Compton effect and secondary electron scattering by Ru element. Impressively, it was disclosed that the nanozyme can act as a cGAS-STING agonist to provoke immune response of the system, which hereby further elevated this combined therapy. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, we fabricated a novel nanozyme with POD and CAT mimicking properties for the combination therapy of catalytical therapy, radiotherapy as well as immune therapy to eliminate cancer.

Abstract
Dihydro-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) detection is crucial since it is a vital coenzyme in organism metabolism. Compared to the traditional method based on natural NADH oxidase (NOX), nanozymes with multienzyme-like activity can catalyze multistage reactions in a singular setup, simplifying detection processes and enhancing sensitivity. In this study, an innovative NADH detection method was developed using iron-doped carbon (Fe@C) nanozyme synthesized from metal-organic frameworks with in situ reduced Pt clusters. This nanozyme composite (Pt/Fe@C) demonstrated dual NOX and peroxidase-like characteristics, significantly enhancing the catalytic efficiency and enabling NADH conversion to NAD+ and H2O2 with subsequent detection. The collaborative research involving both experimental and theoretical simulations has uncovered the catalytic process and the cooperative effect of Fe and Pt atoms, leading to enhanced oxygen adsorption and activation, as well as a decrease in the energy barrier of the key step in the H2O2 decomposition process. These findings indicate that the catalytic performance of Pt/Fe@C in NOX-like and POD-like reactions can be significantly improved. The colorimetric sensor detects NADH with a limit of detection as low as 0.4 nM, signifying a breakthrough in enzyme-mimicking nanozyme technology for precise NADH measurement.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are chronic, refractory wounds caused by diabetic neuropathy, vascular disease, and bacterial infection, and have become one of the most serious and persistent complications of diabetes mellitus because of their high incidence and difficulty in healing. Its malignancy results from a complex microenvironment that includes a series of unfriendly physiological states secondary to hyperglycemia, such as recurrent infections, excessive oxidative stress, persistent inflammation, and ischemia and hypoxia. However, current common clinical treatments, such as antibiotic therapy, insulin therapy, surgical debridement, and conventional wound dressings all have drawbacks, and suboptimal outcomes exacerbate the financial and physical burdens of diabetic patients. Therefore, development of new, effective and affordable treatments for DFU represents a top priority to improve the quality of life of diabetic patients. In recent years, nanozymes-based diabetic wound therapy systems have been attracting extensive interest by integrating the unique advantages of nanomaterials and natural enzymes. Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes possess more stable catalytic activity, lower production cost and greater maneuverability. Remarkably, many nanozymes possess multienzyme activities that can cascade multiple enzyme-catalyzed reactions simultaneously throughout the recovery process of DFU. Additionally, their favorable photothermal-acoustic properties can be exploited for further enhancement of the therapeutic effects. In this review we first describe the characteristic pathological microenvironment of DFU, then discuss the therapeutic mechanisms and applications of nanozymes in DFU healing, and finally, highlight the challenges and perspectives of nanozyme development for DFU treatment.

Abstract
The rational construction of efficient hypoxia-tolerant nanocatalysts capable of generating singlet oxygen (1O2) without external stimuli is of great importance for tumor therapy. Herein, uniformly dispersed and favorable biosafety profile graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots immobilized with Fe-N4 moieties modulated by axial O atom (denoted as O-Fe-N4) are developed for converting H2O2 into 1O2 via Russell reaction, without introducing external energy. Notably, O-Fe-N4 performs two interconnected catalytic properties: glutathione oxidase-mimic activity to provide substrate for subsequent 1O2 generation, avoiding the blunting anticancer efficacy by glutathione. The O-Fe-N4 catalyst demonstrates a specific activity of 79.58 U mg-1 at pH 6.2, outperforming the most reported Fe-N4 catalysts. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the axial O atom can effectively modulate the relative position and electron affinity between Fe and N, lowering the activation energy, strengthening the selectivity, and thus facilitating the Russell-type reaction. The gratifying enzymatic activity stemming from the well-defined Fe-N/O structure can inhibit tumor proliferation by efficiently downregulating glutathione peroxidase 4 activity and inducing lipid peroxidation. Altogether, the O-Fe-N4 catalyst not only represents an efficient platform for self-cascaded catalysis to address the limitations of 1O2-involved cancer treatment but also provides a paradigm to enhance the performance of the Fe-N4 catalyst.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) poses a significant therapeutic challenge due to its invasive nature and limited drug penetration through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In response, here we present an innovative biomimetic approach involving the development of genetically engineered exosome nanocatalysts (Mn@Bi2Se3@RGE-Exos) for efficient GBM therapy via improving the BBB penetration and enzyme-like catalytic activities. Interestingly, a photothermally activatable multiple enzyme-like reactivity is observed in such a nanosystem. Upon NIR-II light irradiation, Mn@Bi2Se3@RGE-Exos are capable of converting hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals, oxygen, and superoxide radicals, providing a peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), and catalase (CAT)-like nanocatalytic cascade. This consequently leads to strong oxidative stresses to damage GBM cells. In vitro, in vivo, and proteomic analysis further reveal the potential of Mn@Bi2Se3@RGE-Exos for the disruption of cellular homeostasis, enhancement of immunological response, and the induction of cancer cell ferroptosis, showcasing a great promise in anticancer efficacy against GBM with a favorable biosafety profile. Overall, the success of this study provides a feasible strategy for future design and clinical study of stimuli-responsive nanocatalytic medicine, especially in the context of challenging brain cancers like GBM.

Abstract
Bioenergetic therapy is emerging as a promising therapeutic approach. However, its therapeutic effectiveness is restricted by metabolic plasticity, as tumor cells switch metabolic phenotypes between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to compensate for energy. Herein, Metformin (MET) and BAY-876 (BAY) co-loaded CuFe2O4 (CF) nanoplatform (CFMB) is developed to boost energy deprivation by synchronous interventions of glycolysis and OXPHOS for bioenergetic therapy synergetic with chemodynamic/photothermal therapy (CDT/PTT). The MET can simultaneously restrain glycolysis and OXPHOS by inhibiting hexokinase 2 (HK2) activity and damaging mitochondrial function to deprive energy, respectively. Besides, BAY blocks glucose uptake by inhibiting glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) expression, further potentiating the glycolysis repression and thus achieving much more depletion of tumorigenic energy sources. Interestingly, the upregulated antioxidant glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells triggers CFMB degradation to release Cu+/Fe2+ catalyzing tumor-overexpressed H2O2 to hydroxyl radical (∙OH), both impairing OXPHOS and achieving GSH-depletion amplified CDT. Furthermore, upon near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, CFMB has a photothermal conversion capacity to kill cancer cells for PTT and improve ∙OH production for enhanced CDT. In vivo experiments have manifested that CFMB remarkably suppressed tumor growth in mice without systemic toxicity. This study provides a new therapeutic modality paradigm to boost bioenergetic-related therapies.

Programmed Targeting Pyruvate Metabolism Therapy Amplified Single-Atom Nanozyme-Activated Pyroptosis for Immunotherapy. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2312124. [PMID: 38314930 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202312124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
Increasing cellular immunogenicity and reshaping the immune tumor microenvironment (TME) are crucial for antitumor immunotherapy. Herein, this work develops a novel single-atom nanozyme pyroptosis initiator: UK5099 and pyruvate oxidase (POx)-co-loaded Cu-NS single-atom nanozyme (Cu-NS@UK@POx), that not only trigger pyroptosis through cascade biocatalysis to boost the immunogenicity of tumor cells, but also remodel the immunosuppressive TME by targeting pyruvate metabolism. By replacing N with weakly electronegative S, the original spatial symmetry of the Cu-N4 electron distribution is changed and the enzyme-catalyzed process is effectively regulated. Compared to spatially symmetric Cu-N4 single-atom nanozymes (Cu-N4 SA), the S-doped spatially asymmetric single-atom nanozymes (Cu-NS SA) exhibit stronger oxidase activities, including peroxidase (POD), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase (NOx), L-cysteine oxidase (LCO), and glutathione oxidase (GSHOx), which can cause enough reactive oxygen species (ROS) storms to trigger pyroptosis. Moreover, the synergistic effect of Cu-NS SA, UK5099, and POx can target pyruvate metabolism, which not only improves the immune TME but also increases the degree of pyroptosis. This study provides a two-pronged treatment strategy that can significantly activate antitumor immunotherapy effects via ROS storms, NADH/glutathione/L-cysteine consumption, pyruvate oxidation, and lactic acid (LA)/ATP depletion, triggering pyroptosis and regulating metabolism. This work provides a broad vision for expanding antitumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Nanozyme-based metabolic regulation triggered by tumor-specific endogenous stimuli has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for tumors. The current efficacy, however, is constrained by the limited concentration of endogenous substrates and the metabolic plasticity of tumors. Consequently, the implementation of efficient metabolic regulation in tumor therapy is urgently needed. Herein, a versatile nanozyme-based nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) circulating oxidation nanoreactor is reported. First, the synthesized cobalt-doped hollow carbon spheres (Co-HCS) possess NADH oxidase (NOX)-mimicking activity for the NADH oxidation to disrupt oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway of tumor cells. Second, the substrate-cycle manner of Co-HCS can be used for NADH circulating oxidation to overcome the limitation of substrate deficiency. Finally, 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) and 6-aminonicotinamide (6-AN) are introduced to block glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), thus creating a versatile nanozyme-based NADH circulating oxidation nanoreactor (Co-HCS/D/A) for tumor therapy through triple cellular metabolism disruption. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the designed nanoreactor not only enhances the catalytic efficiency but also disrupts the tumor metabolic homeostasis, leading to efficient therapy outcome. This study develops a novel NADH circulating oxidation nanoreactor for tumor therapy through triple cellular metabolism disruption, which addresses the limitations of current nanozyme-based metabolism regulation for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Electron transfer is considered to be a typical parameter that affects the catalytic activity of nanozymes. However, there is still controversy regarding whether higher or lower electron transfer numbers are beneficial for improving the catalytic activity of nanozymes. To address this issue, we propose the introduction of Pd doping as an important electron regulation strategy to tune electron transfer between Pt and ZIF-8 carriers (PtxPd1@ZIF-8). We observe a volcano-shaped relationship between the electron transfer number and catalytic activity, reaching its peak at Pt4Pd1@ZIF-8. Mechanism studies indicate that as the electron transfer number from Pt to ZIF-8 carriers increases, the d-band center of the active site Pt increases, reducing the occupancy of antibonding states and enhancing the adsorption capacity of the key intermediate (*O). However, a further increase in the adsorption of *O energy makes it difficult to desorb and participate in the next reaction, thus exhibiting volcanic activity. The optimized Pt4Pd1@ZIF-8 nanozyme is applied to develop an immunoassay for the detection of zearalenone, achieving a detection limit of 0.01 μg/L, which is 6 times higher than that of the traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. This work not only reveals the potential regulatory mechanism of electron transfer on the catalytic activity of nanozymes but also improves the performance of nanozyme-based biosensors.

Abstract
Various clinical symptoms of digestive system, such as infectious, inflammatory, and malignant disorders, have a profound impact on the quality of life and overall health of patients. Therefore, the chase for more potent medicines is both highly significant and urgent. Nanozymes, a novel class of nanomaterials, amalgamate the biological properties of nanomaterials with the catalytic activity of enzymes, and have been engineered for various biomedical applications, including complex gastrointestinal diseases (GI). Particularly, because of their distinctive metal coordination structure and ability to maximize atom use efficiency, single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with atomically scattered metal centers are becoming a more viable substitute for natural enzymes. Traditional nanozyme design strategies are no longer able to meet the current requirements for efficient and diverse SAzymes design due to the diversification and complexity of preparation processes. As a result, this review emphasizes the design concept and the synthesis strategy of SAzymes, and corresponding bioenzyme-like activities, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Then the various application of SAzymes in GI illnesses are summarized, which should encourage further research into nanozymes to achieve better application characteristics.

Abstract
Biological imaging-guided targeted tumor therapy has been a soughtafter goal in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment. To this end, we proposed a strategy to modulate surface plasmon resonance and endow WO3-x nanoparticles (NPs) with enzyme-like catalytic properties by doping Fe2+ in the structure of the NPs. Doping of the Fe2+ introduced oxygen vacancies into the structure of the NPs, inducing a red shift of the maximum absorption wavelength into the near-infrared II (NIR-II) region and enhancing the photoacoustic (PA) and photothermal properties of the NPs for more effective imaging-guided cancer therapy. Under NIR-II laser irradiation, the Fe-WO3-x NPs produced very strong NIR-II PA and photothermal effects, which significantly enhanced the PA imaging and photothermal treatment effects. On the other hand, Fe2+ in Fe-WO3-x could undergo Fenton reactions with H2O2 in the tumor tissue to generate ·OH for chemodynamic therapy. In addition, Fe-WO3-x can also catalyze the above reactions to produce more reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induce the oxidation of NADH to interfere with intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, thereby further improving the efficiency of cancer therapy. Specific imaging of tumor tissue and targeted synergistic therapy was achieved after ligation of a MUC1 aptamer to the surface of the Fe-WO3-x NPs by the complexing of -COOH in MUC1 with tungsten ions on the surface of the NPs. These results demonstrated that Fe-WO3-x NPs could be a promising diagnosis and therapeutic agent for cancer. Such a study opens up new avenues into the rational design of nanodiagnosis and treatment agents for NIR-II PA imaging and cancer therapy.

Abstract
Since the discovery of ferromagnetic nanoparticles Fe3O4 that exhibit enzyme-like activity in 2007, the research on nanoenzymes has made significant progress. With the in-depth study of various nanoenzymes and the rapid development of related nanotechnology, nanoenzymes have emerged as a promising alternative to natural enzymes. Within nanozymes, there is a category of metal-based single-atom nanozymes that has been rapidly developed due to low cast, convenient preparation, long storage, less immunogenicity, and especially higher efficiency. More importantly, single-atom nanozymes possess the capacity to scavenge reactive oxygen species through various mechanisms, which is beneficial in the tissue repair process. Herein, this paper systemically highlights the types of metal single-atom nanozymes, their catalytic mechanisms, and their recent applications in tissue repair. The existing challenges are identified and the prospects of future research on nanozymes composed of metallic nanomaterials are proposed. We hope this review will illuminate the potential of single-atom nanozymes in tissue repair, encouraging their sequential clinical translation.

Abstract
Current cancer vaccines face challenges due to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and their limited ability to produce an effective immune response. To address the above limitations, we develop a 3-(2-spiroadamantyl)-4-methoxy-4-(3-phosphoryloxy)-phenyl-1,2-dioxetane (alkaline phosphatase substrate) and XMD8-92 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 inhibitor)-codelivered copper-tetrahydroxybenzoquinone (Cu-THBQ/AX) nanosized metal-organic framework to in situ-generate therapeutic vaccination. Once inside the early endosome, the alkaline phosphatase overexpressed in the tumor cells' membrane activates the in situ type I photodynamic effect of Cu-THBQ/AX for generating •O2-, and the Cu-THBQ/AX catalyzes O2 and H2O2 to •O2- and •OH via semiquinone radical catalysis and Fenton-like reactions. This surge of ROS in early endosomes triggers caspase-3-mediated proinflammatory pyroptosis via activating phospholipase C. Meanwhile, Cu-THBQ/AX can also induce the oligomerization of dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase to trigger tumor cell cuproptosis. The production of •OH could also trigger the release of XMD8-92 for effectively inhibiting the efferocytosis of macrophages to convert immunosuppressive apoptosis of cancer cells into proinflammatory secondary necrosis. The simultaneous induction of pyroptosis, cuproptosis, and secondary necrosis effectively converts the tumor microenvironment from "cold" to "hot" conditions, making it an effective antigen pool. This transformation successfully activates the antitumor immune response, inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) are emerging natural enzyme mimics and have attracted much attention in the biomedical field. SAzymes with Metal─Nx sites designed on carbon matrixes are currently the mainstream in research. It is of great significance to further expand the types of SAzymes to enrich the nanozyme library. Single-atom alloys (SAAs) are a material in which single-atom metal sites are dispersed onto another active metal matrix, and currently, there is limited research on their enzyme-like catalytic performance. In this work, a biodegradable Pt1Pd SAA is fabricated via a simple galvanic replacement strategy, and for the first time reveals its intrinsic enzyme-like catalytic performance including catalase-, oxidase-, and peroxidase-like activities, as well as its photodynamic effect. Experimental characterizations demonstrate that the introduction of single-atom Pt sites contributes to enhancing the affinity of Pt1Pd single-atom alloy nanozyme (SAAzyme) toward substrates, thus exhibiting boosted catalytic efficiency. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that Pt1Pd SAAzyme exhibits a photo-controlled therapeutic effect, with a tumor inhibition rate of up to 100%. This work provides vital guidance for opening the research direction of SAAs in enzyme-like catalysis.

Abstract
Nanozymes, as a type of nanomaterials with enzymatic catalytic activity, have demonstrated tremendous potential in cancer treatment owing to their unique biomedical properties. However, the heterogeneity of tumors and the complex tumor microenvironment pose significant challenges to the in vivo catalytic efficacy of traditional nanozymes. Drawing inspiration from natural enzymes, scientists are now using biomimetic design to build nanozymes from the ground up. This approach aims to replicate the key characteristics of natural enzymes, including active structures, catalytic processes, and the ability to adapt to the tumor environment. This achieves selective optimization of nanozyme catalytic performance and therapeutic effects. This review takes a deep dive into the use of these biomimetically designed nanozymes in cancer treatment. It explores a range of biomimetic design strategies, from structural and process mimicry to advanced functional biomimicry. A significant focus is on tweaking the nanozyme structures to boost their catalytic performance, integrating them into complex enzyme networks similar to those in biological systems, and adjusting functions like altering tumor metabolism, reshaping the tumor environment, and enhancing drug delivery. The review also covers the applications of specially designed nanozymes in pan-cancer treatment, from catalytic therapy to improved traditional methods like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and sonodynamic therapy, specifically analyzing the anti-tumor mechanisms of different therapeutic combination systems. Through rational design, these biomimetically designed nanozymes not only deepen the understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of nanozyme structure and performance but also adapt profoundly to tumor physiology, optimizing therapeutic effects and paving new pathways for innovative cancer treatment.

Abstract
Various nanomaterials as biocatalysts could be custom-designed and modified to precisely match the specific microenvironment of diseases, showing a promise in achieving effective therapy outcomes. Compared to conventional biocatalysts, single metal atom catalysts (SMACs) with maximized atom utilization through well-defined structures offer enhanced catalytic activity and selectivity. Currently, there is still a gap in a comprehensive overview of the connection between structures and biocatalytic mechanisms of SMACs. Therefore, it is crucial to deeply investigate the role of SMACs in biocatalysis from the atomic structure level and to elucidate their potential mechanisms in biocatalytic processes. In this minireview, we summarize catalysis regulation methods of SMACs at the atomic structure level, focusing on the optimization of catalytic active sites, coordination environment, and active site-support interactions, and briefly discuss biocatalytic mechanisms for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Although plant-derived cancer therapeutic products possess great promise in clinical translations, they still suffer from quick degradation and low targeting rates. Herein, based on the oxygen vacancy (OV)-immobilization strategy, an OV-enriched biodegradable silicate nanoplatform with atomically dispersed Fe/Mn active species and polyethylene glycol modification was innovated for loading gallic acid (GA) (noted as FMMPG) for intratumoral coordination-enhanced multicatalytic cancer therapy. The OV-enriched FMMPG nanozymes with a narrow band gap (1.74 eV) can be excited by a 650 nm laser to generate reactive oxygen species. Benefiting from the Mn-O bond in response to the tumor microenvironment (TME), the silicate skeleton in FMMPG collapses and completely degrades after 24 h. The degraded metal M (M = Fe, Mn) ions and released GA can in situ produce a stable M-GA nanocomplex at tumor sites. Importantly, the formed M-GA with strong reductive ability can transform H2O2 into the fatal hydroxyl radical, causing serious oxidative damage to the tumor. The released Fe3+ and Mn2+ can serve as enhanced contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, which can track the chemodynamic and photodynamic therapy processes. The work offers a reasonable strategy for a TME-responsive degradation and intratumoral coordination-enhanced multicatalytic therapy founded on bimetallic silicate nanozymes to achieve desirable tumor theranostic outcomes.

Abstract
Nanozyme catalytic therapy for cancer treatments has become one of the heated topics, and the therapeutic efficacy is highly correlated with their catalytic efficiency. In this work, three copper-doped CeO2 supports with various structures as well as crystal facets are developed to realize dual enzyme-mimic catalytic activities, that is superoxide dismutase (SOD) to reduce superoxide radicals to H2 O2 and peroxidase (POD) to transform H2 O2 to ∙OH. The wire-shaped CeO2 /Cu-W has the richest surface oxygen vacancies, and a low level of oxygen vacancy (Vo) formation energy, which allows for the elimination of intracellular reactive oxygen spieces (ROS) and continuous transformation to ∙OH with cascade reaction. Moreover, the wire-shaped CeO2 /Cu-W displays the highest toxic ∙OH production capacity in an acidic intracellular environment, inducing breast cancer cell death and pro-apoptotic autophagy. Therefore, wire-shaped CeO2 /Cu nanoparticles as an artificial enzyme system can have great potential in the intervention of intracellular ROS in cancer cells, achieving efficacious nanocatalytic therapy.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and upregulated immune checkpoints (ICs) on antitumor immune cells impede the infiltration and killing effect of T cells, creating an immunosuppressive TME. Herein, a cholesterol oxidase (CHO) and lysyl oxidase inhibitor (LOX-IN-3) co-delivery copper-dibenzo-[g,p]chrysene-2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15-octaol single-site nanozyme (Cu-DBCO/CL) was developed. The conjugated organic ligand and well-distributed Cu-O4 sites endow Cu-DBCO with unique redox capabilities, enabling it to catalyze O2 and H2O2 to ·O2- and ·OH. This surge of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to impaired mitochondrial function and insufficient ATP supply, impacting the function of copper-transporting ATPase-1 and causing dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase oligomerization-mediated cuproptosis. Moreover, multiple ROS storms and glutathione peroxidase 4 depletion also induce lipid peroxidation and trigger ferroptosis. Simultaneously, the ROS-triggered release of LOX-IN-3 reshapes the ECM by inhibiting lysyl oxidase activity and further enhances the infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD8+ T cells). CHO-triggered cholesterol depletion not only increases ·OH generation but also downregulates the expression of ICs such as PD-1 and TIM-3, restoring the antitumor activity of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells. Therefore, Cu-DBCO/CL exhibits efficient properties in activating a potent antitumor immune response by cascade-enhanced CD8+ T cell viability. More importantly, ECM remodeling and cholesterol depletion could suppress the metastasis and proliferation of the tumor cells. In short, this immune nanoremodeler can greatly enhance the infiltration and antitumor activity of T cells by enhancing tumor immunogenicity, remodeling ECM, and downregulating ICs, thus achieving effective inhibition of tumor growth and metastasis.

Abstract
Background Radiotherapy is an indispensable part of the multidisciplinary treatment of breast cancer (BC). Due to the potential for serious side effects from ionizing radiation in the treatment of breast cancer, which can adversely affect the patient's quality of life, the radiation dose is often limited. This limitation can result in an incomplete eradication of tumors. Methods In this study, biomimetic copper single-atom catalysts (platelet cell membrane camouflaging, PC) were synthesized with the aim of improving the therapeutic outcomes of radiotherapy for BC. Following guidance to the tumor site facilitated by the platelet cell membrane coating, PC releases a copper single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme). This SAzyme enhances therapeutic effects by generating reactive oxygen species from H2O2 and concurrently inhibiting the self-repair mechanisms of cancer cells through the consumption of intracellular glutathione (GSH) within the tumor microenvironment. PC-augmented radiotherapy induces immunogenic cell death, which triggers an immune response to eradicate tumors. Results With the excellent biocompatibility, PC exhibited precise tumor-targeting capabilities. Furthermore, when employed in conjunction with radiotherapy, PC showed impressive tumor elimination results through immunological activation. Remarkably, the tumor suppression rate achieved with PC-enhanced radiotherapy reached an impressive 93.6%. Conclusion Therefore, PC presents an innovative approach for designing radiosensitizers with tumor-specific targeting capabilities, aiming to enhance the therapeutic impact of radiotherapy on BC.

Abstract
Tumor cells movement and migration are inseparable from the integrity of lipid rafts and the formation of lamellipodia, and lipid rafts are also a prerequisite for the formation of lamellipodia. Therefore, destroying the lipid rafts is an effective strategy to inhibit tumor metastasis. Herein, a multi-enzyme co-expressed nanomedicine: cholesterol oxidase (CHO) loaded Co─PN3 single-atom nanozyme (Co─PN3 SA/CHO) that can up-regulate cellular oxidative stress, disrupt the integrity of lipid rafts, and inhibit lamellipodia formation to induce anti-metastasis tumor therapy, is developed. In this process, Co─PN3 SA can catalyze oxygen (O2 ) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) via oxidase-like and Fenton-like properties. The doping of P atoms optimizes the adsorption process of the intermediate at the active site and enhances the ROS generation properties of nanomedicine. Meantime, O2 produced by catalase-like catalysis can combine with excess cholesterol to generate more H2 O2 under CHO catalysis, achieving enhanced oxidative damage to tumor cells. Most importantly, cholesterol depletion in tumor cells also disrupts the integrity of lipid rafts and inhibits the formation of lamellipodia, greatly inhibiting the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells. This strategy by up-regulating cellular oxidative stress and depleting cellular cholesterol constructs a new idea for anti-metastasis-oriented cancer therapy strategies.

[PMID: 38162771 PMCID: PMC10753745 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Synergistic mild photothermal/nanozyme therapy with outstanding hyperthermia performance and excellent multienzyme properties is highly needed for osteosarcoma treatment. Herein, we have developed efficient single-atom nanozymes (SANs) consisting of Mn sites atomically dispersed on nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (denoted as Mn-SANs) for synergistic mild photothermal/multienzymatic therapy against osteosarcoma. Benefiting from their black N-doped carbon nanosheet matrices, Mn-SANs showed an excellent NIR-II-triggered photothermal effect. On the other hand, Mn-SANs with atomically dispersed Mn sites have outstanding multienzyme activities. Mn-SANs can catalyze endogenous H2O2 in osteosarcoma into O2 by catalase (CAT)-like activity, which can effectively ease osteosarcoma hypoxia and trigger the oxidase (OXD)-like catalysis that converts O2 to the cytotoxic superoxide anion radical (•O2-). At the same time, Mn-SANs can also mimic glutathione oxidase (GSHOx) to effectively consume the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) in osteosarcoma and inhibit intracellular glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression. Such intratumoral •O2- production, GSH depletion, and GPX4 inactivation mediated by Mn-SANs can create a large accumulation of lipid peroxides (LPO) and •O2-, leading to oxidative stress and disrupting the redox homeostasis in osteosarcoma cells, which can ultimately induce osteosarcoma cell death. More importantly, heat shock proteins (HSPs) can be significantly destroyed via Mn-SAN-mediated plentiful LPO and •O2- generation, thus effectively impairing osteosarcoma cells resistant to mild photothermal therapy. Overall, through the cooperative effect of chemical processes (boosting •O2-, consuming GSH, and enhancing LPO) and biological processes (inactivating GPX4 and hindering HSPs), collaborative mild photothermal/multienzymatic therapy mediated by Mn-SANs is a promising strategy for efficient osteosarcoma treatment.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes), with well-defined and uniform atomic structures, are an emerging type of natural enzyme mimics. Currently, it is important but challenging to rationally design high-performance SAzymes and deeply reveal the interaction mechanism between SAzymes and substrate molecules. Herein, this work reports the controllable fabrication of a unique Cu-N1 S2 -centred SAzyme (Cu-N/S-C) via a chemical vapor deposition-based sulfur-engineering strategy. Benefiting from the optimized geometric and electronic structures of single-atom sites, Cu-N/S-C SAzyme shows boosted enzyme-like activity, especially in catalase-like activity, with a 13.8-fold increase in the affinity to hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) substrate and a 65.2-fold increase in the catalytic efficiency when compared to Cu-N-C SAzyme with Cu-N3 sites. Further theoretical studies reveal that the increased electron density around single-atom Cu is achieved through electron redistribution, and the efficient charge transfer between Cu-N/S-C and H2 O2 is demonstrated to be more beneficial for the adsorption and activation of H2 O2 . The as-designed Cu-N/S-C SAzyme possesses an excellent antitumor effect through the synergy of catalytic therapy and oxygen-dependent phototherapy. This study provides a strategy for the rational design of SAzymes, and the proposed electron redistribution and charge transfer mechanism will help to understand the coordination environment effect of single-atom metal sites on H2 O2 -mediated enzyme-like catalytic processes.

Abstract
Recently, single-atom nanozymes have made significant progress in the fields of sterilization and treatment, but their catalytic performance as substitutes for natural enzymes and drugs is far from satisfactory. Here, a method is reported to improve enzyme activity by adjusting the spatial position of a single-atom site on the nanoplatforms. Two types of Cu single-atom site nanozymes are synthesized in the interlayer (CuL /PHI) and in-plane (CuP /PHI) of poly (heptazine imide) (PHI) through different synthesis pathways. Experimental and theoretical analysis indicates that the interlayer position of PHI can effectively adjust the coordination number, coordination bond length, and electronic structure of Cu single atoms compared to the in-plane position, thereby promoting photoinduced electron migration and O2 activation, enabling effective generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Under visible light irradiation, the photocatalytic bactericidal activity of CuL /PHI against aureus is ≈100%, achieving the same antibacterial effect as antibiotics, after 10 min of low-dose light exposure and 2 h of incubation.

Abstract
Surface antibacterial coatings with outstanding antibacterial efficiency have attracted increasing attention in medical protective clothing and cotton surgical clothing. Although nanozymes, as a new generation of antibiotics, are used to combat bacteria, their catalytic performance remains far from satisfactory as alternatives to natural enzymes. Single-atom nanodots provide a solution to the low catalytic activity bottleneck of nanozymes. Here, atomically thin C3 N4 nanodots supported single Cu atom nanozymes (Cu-CNNDs) are developed by a self-tailoring approach, which exhibits catalytic efficiency of 8.09 × 105 M-1 s-1 , similar to that of natural enzyme. Experimental and theoretical calculations show that excellent peroxidase-like activity stems from the size effect of carrier optimizing the coordination structure, leading to full exposure of Cu-N3 active site, which improves the ability of H2 O2 to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Notably, Cu-CNNDs exhibit over 99% superior antibacterial efficacy and are successfully grafted onto cotton fabrics. Thus, Cu-CNNDs blaze an avenue for exquisite biomimetic nanozyme design and have great potential applications in antibacterial textiles.

Abstract
Nanozymes, which combine enzyme-like catalytic activity and the biological properties of nanomaterials, have been widely used in biomedical fields. Single-atom nanozymes (SANs) with atomically dispersed metal centers exhibit excellent biological catalytic activity due to the maximization of atomic utilization efficiency, unique metal coordination structures, and metal-support interaction, and their structure-activity relationship can also be clearly investigated. Therefore, they have become an emerging alternative to natural enzymes. This review summarizes the examples of nanocatalytic therapy based on SANs in tumor diagnosis and treatment in recent years, providing an overview of material classification, activity modulation, and therapeutic means. Next, we will delve into the therapeutic mechanism of SNAs in the tumor microenvironment and the advantages of synergistic multiple therapeutic modalities (e.g., chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, sonothermal therapy, and gas therapy). Finally, this review proposes the main challenges and prospects for the future development of SANs in cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Nanozymes have captured significant attention as a versatile and promising alternative to natural enzymes in catalytic applications, with wide-ranging implications for both diagnosis and therapy. However, the limited selectivity exhibited by many nanozymes presents challenges to their efficacy in diagnosis and raises concerns regarding their impact on the progression of disease treatments. In this article, we explore the latest innovations aimed at enhancing the selectivity of nanozymes, thereby expanding their applications in theranostic nanoplatforms. We place paramount importance on the critical development of highly selective nanozymes and present innovative strategies that have yielded remarkable outcomes in augmenting selectivities. The strategies encompass enhancements in analyte selectivity by incorporating recognition units, refining activity selectivity through the meticulous control of structural and elemental composition, integrating synergistic materials, fabricating selective nanomaterials, and comprehensively fine-tuning selectivity via approaches such as surface modification, cascade nanozyme systems, and manipulation of external stimuli. Additionally, we propose optimized approaches to propel the further advancement of these tailored nanozymes while considering the limitations associated with existing techniques. Our ultimate objective is to present a comprehensive solution that effectively addresses the limitations attributed to non-selective nanozymes, thus unlocking the full potential of these catalytic systems in the realm of theranostics.

Abstract
Developing multifunctional nanozymes with photothermal-augmented enzyme-like reaction dynamics in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) biowindow is of significance for nanocatalytic therapy (NCT). Herein, DNA-templated Ag@Pd alloy nanoclusters (DNA-Ag@Pd NCs) are prepared as a kind of novel noble-metal alloy nanozymes by using cytosine-rich hairpin-shaped DNA structures as growth templates. DNA-Ag@Pd NCs exhibit high photothermal conversion efficiency (59.32%) under 1270 nm laser and photothermally augmented peroxidase-mimicking activity with synergetic enhancement between Ag and Pd. In addition, hairpin-shaped DNA structures on the surface of DNA-Ag@Pd NCs endow them with good stability and biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo, and enhanced permeability and retention effect at tumor sites. Upon intravenous injection, DNA-Ag@Pd NCs demonstrate high-contrast NIR-II photoacoustic imaging-guided efficient photothermal-augmented NCT of gastric cancer. This work provides a strategy to synthesize versatile noble-metal alloy nanozymes in a bioinspired way for highly efficient therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts with extraordinary catalytic activity have been receiving great attention in tumor therapy. However, most single-atom catalysts lack self-propulsion properties, restricting them from actively approaching cancer cells or penetrating the interior of tumors. Herein, we design N-doped jellyfish-like mesoporous carbon nanomotors coordinated with single-atom copper (Cu-JMCNs). It is a combination of single-atom nanocatalytic medicine and nanomotor self-propulsion for cancer therapy. The Cu single atom can catalyze H2O2 into toxic hydroxyl radical (•OH) for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Near-infrared light triggers Cu-JMCNs to achieve self-thermophoretic motion because of the jellyfish-like asymmetric structure and photothermal property of carbon, which significantly improves the cellular uptake and the penetration of three-dimensional tumors. In vivo experiments indicate that the combination of single-atom Cu for CDT and near-infrared light propulsion can achieve over 85% tumor inhibition rate. This work sheds light on the development of advanced nanomotors with single-atom catalysts for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nanocatalysts are promising tumor therapeutics due to their ability to induce reactive oxygen species in the tumor microenvironment. Although increasing metal loading can improve catalytic activity, the quandary of high metal content versus potential systemic biotoxicity remains challenging. Here, a fully exposed active site strategy by site-specific anchoring of single iridium (Ir) atoms on the outer surface of a nitrogen-doped carbon composite (Ir single-atom catalyst (SAC)) is reported to achieve remarkable catalytic performance at ultralow metal content (≈0.11%). The Ir SAC exhibits prominent dual enzymatic activities to mimic peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase, which catalyzes the conversion of endogenous H2 O2 into •OH in the acidic TME and depletes glutathione (GSH) simultaneously. With an advanced support of GSH-trapping platinum(IV) and encapsulation with a red-blood-cell membrane, this nanocatalytic agent (Pt@IrSAC/RBC) causes intense lipid peroxidation that boosts tumor cell ferroptosis. The Pt@IrSAC/RBC demonstrates superior therapeutic efficacy in a mouse triple-negative mammary carcinoma model, resulting in complete tumor ablation in a single treatment session with negligible side effects. These outcomes may provide valuable insights into the design of nanocatalysts with high performance and biosafety for biomedical applications.
