Abstract
Bismuth (Bi)-based computed tomography (CT) imaging contrast agents (CAs) hold significant promise for diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases due to their cost-effectiveness, heightened sensitivity, and commendable biocompatibility. Nevertheless, substantial challenges persist in achieving an easy synthesis process, remarkable water solubility, and effective targeting ability for the potential clinical transformation of Bi-based CAs. Herein, we show Bi drug-inspired ultra-small dextran coated bismuth oxide nanoparticles (Bi2O3-Dex NPs) for targeted CT imaging of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Bi2O3-Dex NPs are synthesized through a simple alkaline precipitation reaction using bismuth salts and dextran as the template. The Bi2O3-Dex NPs exhibit ultra-small size (3.4 nm), exceptional water solubility (over 200 mg mL-1), high Bi content (19.75 %), excellent biocompatibility and demonstrate higher X-ray attenuation capacity compared to clinical iohexol. Bi2O3-Dex NPs not only enable clear visualization of the GI tract outline and intestinal loop structures in CT imaging but also specifically target and accumulate at the inflammatory site in colitis mice after oral administration, facilitating a precise diagnosis and enabling targeted CT imaging of IBD. Our study introduces a novel and clinically promising strategy for synthesizing high-performance Bi2O3-Dex NPs for diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract
Considering the profound impact of structure on heterojunction catalysts, the rational design of emerging catalysts with optimized energy band structures is required for antitumor efficiency. Herein, we select titanium nitride (TiN) and Pt to develop a multifunctional Schottky heterojunction named Pt/H-TiN&SRF (PHTS) nanoparticles (NPs) with a narrowed bandgap to accomplish "four birds with one stone" involving enzyo/sono/photo three modals and additional ferroptosis. The in situ-grown Pt NPs acted as electron traps that can cause the energy band to bend upward and form a Schottky barrier, thereby facilitating the separation of electron/hole pairs in exogenous stimulation catalytic therapy. In addition, endogenous catalytic reactions based on peroxidase (POD)- and catalase (CAT)-mimicking activities can also be amplified, triggering intense oxidative stress, in which CAT-like activity decomposes endogenous H2O2 into O2 alleviating hypoxia and provides reactants for sonodynamic therapy. Moreover, PHTS NPs can elicit mild photothermal therapy with boosted photothermal properties as well as ferroptosis with loaded ferroptosis inducer sorafenib for effective tumor ablation and apoptosis-ferroptosis synergistic tumor inhibitory effect. In summary, this paper proposes an attractive design for antitumor strategies and highlights findings for heterojunction catalytic therapy with potential in tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Hydrogen (H2) therapy is an emerging, novel, and safe therapeutic modality that uses molecular hydrogen for effective treatment. However, the impact of H2 therapy is limited because hydrogen molecules predominantly depend on the systemic administration of H2 gas, which cannot accumulate at the lesion site with high concentration, thus leading to limited targeting and utilization. Biomaterials are developed to specifically deliver H2 and control its release. In this review, the development process, stimuli-responsive release strategies, and potential therapeutic mechanisms of biomaterial-based H2 therapy are summarized. H2 therapy. Specifically, the produced H2 from biomaterials not only can scavenge free radicals, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation (LPO), but also can inhibit the danger factors of initiating diseases, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and heat shock protein (HSP). In addition, the released H2 can further act as signal molecules to regulate key pathways for disease treatment. The current opportunities and challenges of H2-based therapy are discussed, and the future research directions of biomaterial-based H2 therapy for clinical applications are emphasized.

Abstract
Sonopiezoelectric therapy, an ultrasound-activated piezoelectric nanomaterial for tumor treatment, has emerged as a novel alternative modality. However, the limited piezoelectric catalytic efficiency is a serious bottleneck for its practical application. Excellent piezoelectric catalysts with high piezoelectric coefficients, good deformability, large mechanical impact surface area, and abundant catalytically active sites still need to be developed urgently. In this study, the classical ferroelectric material, bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12, BTO), is selected as a sonopiezoelectric sensitizer for tumor therapy. BTO generates electron-hole pairs under ultrasonic irradiation, which can react with the substrates in a sonocatalytic-driven redox reaction. Aiming to further improve the catalytic activity of BTO, modification of surface oxygen vacancies and treatment of corona polarization are envisioned in this study. Notably, modification of the surface oxygen vacancies reduces its bandgap and inhibits electron-hole recombination. Additionally, the corona polarization treatment immobilized the built-in electric field on BTO, further promoting the separation of electrons and holes. Consequently, these modifications greatly improve the sonocatalytic efficiency for in situ generation of cytotoxic ROS and CO, effectively eradicating the tumor.

Abstract
The construction of near-infrared (NIR) light-activated hydrogen-producing materials that enable the controlled generation and high-concentration release of hydrogen molecules in deep tumor tissues and enhance the effects of hydrogen therapy holds significant scientific importance. To address the key technical challenge of low-efficiency oxidation-reduction reactions for narrow-bandgap photocatalytic materials, this work proposes an innovative approach for the controllable fabrication of multiphoton photocatalytic materials to overcome the limitations imposed by traditional near-infrared photocatalysts with "narrow-bandgap" constraints. Herein, an NIR-responsive multiphoton photocatalyst, ZrTc-Co, is developed by utilizing a post-synthetic coordination modification strategy to introduce hydrogenation active site CoII into a multiphoton responsive MOF (ZrTc). The results reveal that with the introduction of the CoII site, electron-hole recombination can be efficiently suppressed, thus promoting the efficiency of hydrogen evolution reaction. In addition, the integration of CoII can effectively enhance charge transfer and improve static hyperpolarizability, which endows ZrTc-Co with excellent multiphoton absorption. Moreover, hyaluronic acid modification endows ZrTc-Co with cancer cell-specific targeting characteristics, laying the foundation for tumor-specific elimination. Collectively, the proposed findings present a strategy for constructing NIR-II light-mediated hydrogen therapeutic agents for deep tumor elimination.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-mediated piezocatalytic tumor therapy has attracted much attention due to its notable tissue-penetration capabilities, noninvasiveness, and low oxygen dependency. Nevertheless, the efficiency of piezocatalytic therapy is limited due to an inadequate piezoelectric response, low separation of electron-hole (e--h+) pairs, and complex tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, an ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) sulfur-vacancy-engineered (Sv-engineered) Cu@SnS2-x nanosheet (NS) with an enhanced piezoelectric effect was constructed via the heterovalent substitution strategy of Sn4+ by Cu2+. The introduction of Cu2+ ion not only causes changes in the crystal structure to increase polarization but also generates rich Sv to decrease band gap from 2.16 to 1.62 eV and inhibit e--h+ pairs recombination, collectively leading to the highly efficient generation of reactive oxygen species under US irradiation. Moreover, Cu@SnS2-x shows US-enhanced TME-responsive Fenton-like catalytic activity and glutathione depletion ability, further aggravating the oxidative stress. Both in vitro and in vivo results prove that the Sv-engineered Cu@SnS2-x NSs can significantly kill tumor cells and achieve high-efficiency piezocatalytic tumor therapy in a biocompatible manner. Overall, this study provides a new avenue for sonocatalytic therapy and broadens the application of 2D piezoelectric materials.

Abstract
Hydrogen therapy, leveraging its selective attenuation of hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) and ONOO-, has emerged as a pivotal pathophysiological modulator with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic attributes. Hydrogen therapy has been extensively studied both preclinically and clinically, especially in diseases with an inflammatory nature. Despite the substantial progress, challenges persist in achieving high hydrogen concentrations in target lesions, especially in cancer treatment. A notable breakthrough lies in water/acid reactive materials, offering enhanced hydrogen generation and sustained release potential. However, limitations include hydrogen termination upon material depletion and reduced bioavailability at targeted lesions. To overcome these challenges, catalytic materials like photocatalytic and sonocatalytic materials have surfaced as promising solutions. With enhanced permeability and retention effects, these materials exhibit targeted delivery and sustained stimuli-reactive hydrogen release. The future of hydrogen therapy hinges on continuous exploration and modification of catalytic materials. Researchers are urged to prioritize improved catalytic efficiency, enhanced lesion targeting effects, and heightened biosafety and biocompatibility in future development.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia provides a favorable breeding ground for bacteria, resulting in repeated and persistent inflammation of wounds and prolonged healing processes. In this study, platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (NPs) and glucose oxidase (GOx) were decorated on the surface of camelina lipid droplets (OB) linked with hFGF2, forming PGOB through in situ reduction of Pt ions and electrostatic adsorption, respectively. PGOB exhibits cascade enzyme catalytic activity, which can be activated by glucose in diabetic wound tissues. Specifically, GOx on PGOB catalyzes glucose into hydrogen peroxide, which can further decompose into hydroxyl radicals that have higher toxicity for bacterial inactivation. Additionally, glucose decomposition creates a low pH microenvironment, facilitating the cascade catalytic activity that ensures better bacterial suppression within the wound tissues. Furthermore, hFGF2 promotes the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirm that PGOB effectively accelerates wound healing processes through bacteria inactivation and tissue regeneration. This study has developed an alternative strategy for glucose-triggered synergistic cascade therapy for diabetic wounds.

Magnesium implants with alternating magnetic field-enhanced hydrogen release and proton depletion for anti-infection treatment and tissue repair. Bioact Mater 2024; 38:374-383. [PMID: 38770429 PMCID: PMC11103218 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.05.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Implant-related osteomyelitis is a formidable hurdle in the clinical setting and is characterized by inflammation, infection, and consequential bone destruction. Therefore, effective reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, bacterial killing, and subsequent bone tissue repair are urgently needed for the treatment of difficult-to-heal osteomyelitis. Herein, we utilized the eddy-thermal effect of magnesium (Mg) implants under an alternating magnetic field (AMF) for the controlled release of H2 gas and ions (OH- and Mg2+) for the treatment of osteomyelitis. H2 released by Mg rods under AMFs effectively scavenged cytotoxic ROS, exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects and consequently disrupting the environment of bacterial infections. In addition, the OH- hindered the energy metabolism of bacteria by effectively neutralizing protons within the microenvironment. Moreover, H2 impaired the permeability of bacterial membranes and expedited the damage induced by OH-. This synergistic AMF-induced H2 and proton depletion treatment approach not only killed both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria but also effectively treated bacterial infections (abscesses and osteomyelitis). Moreover, Mg2+ released from the Mg rods enhanced and accelerated the process of bone osteogenesis. Overall, our work cleverly exploited the eddy-thermal effect and chemical activity of Mg implants under AMFs, aiming to eliminate the inflammatory environment and combat bacterial infections by the simultaneous release of H2, OH-, and Mg2+, thereby facilitating tissue regeneration. This therapeutic strategy achieved multiple benefits in one, thus presenting a promising avenue for clinical application.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), featuring noninvasive, deeper penetration, low cost, and repeatability, is a promising therapy approach for deep-seated tumors. However, the general or only utilization of SDT shows low efficiency and unsatisfactory treatment outcomes due to the complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) and SDT process. To circumvent the issues, three feasible approaches for enhancing SDT-based therapeutic effects, including sonosensitizer optimization, strategies for conquering hypoxia TME, and combinational therapy are summarized, with a particular focus on the combination therapy of SDT with other therapy modalities, including chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, starvation therapy, gas therapy, and immunotherapy. In the end, the current challenges in SDT-based therapy on tumors are discussed and feasible approaches for enhanced therapeutic effects are provided. It is envisioned that this review will provide new insight into the strategic design of high-efficiency sonosensitizer-derived nanotheranostics, thereby augmenting SDT and accelerating the potential clinical transformation.

Abstract
Introduction Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) have a high morbidity and mortality rate, and is difficult to cure and prone to recurrence when it has already developed. Therefore, early detection and efficient treatment of HCC is necessary. Methods In this study, we synthesized a novel NDI polymer with uniform size, long-term stability, and high near-infrared two-zone (NIR-II) absorption efficiency, which can greatly enhance the effect of photothermal therapy (PTT) after intravenous injection into Huh-7-tumor bearing mice. Results The in vitro and in vivo studies showed that NDI polymer exhibited excellent NIR-guided PTT treatment, and the antitumor effect was approximately 88.5%, with obvious antimetastatic effects. Conclusion This study developed an NDI polymer-mediated integrated diagnostic and therapeutic modality for NIR-II fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy.

Hydrogen Therapy Reverses Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Phenotypes and Remodels Stromal Microenvironment to Stimulate Systematic Anti-Tumor Immunity.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in the tumor progression. Among TME components, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) show multiple tumor-promoting effects and can induce tumor immune evasion and drug-resistance. Regulating CAFs can be a potential strategy to augment systemic anti-tumor immunity. Here, the study observes that hydrogen treatment can alleviate intracellular reactive oxygen species of CAFs and reshape CAFs' tumor-promoting and immune-suppressive phenotypes. Accordingly, a controllable and TME-responsive hydrogen therapy based on a CaCO3 nanoparticles-coated magnesium system (Mg-CaCO3) is developed. The hydrogen therapy by Mg-CaCO3 can not only directly kill tumor cells, but also inhibit pro-tumor and immune suppressive factors in CAFs, and thus augment immune activities of CD4+ T cells. As implanted in situ, Mg-CaCO3 can significantly suppress tumor growth, turn the "cold" primary tumor into "hot", and stimulate systematic anti-tumor immunity, which is confirmed by the bilateral tumor transplantation models of "cold tumor" (4T1 cells) and "hot tumor" (MC38 cells). This hydrogen therapy system reverses immune suppressive phenotypes of CAFs, thus providing a systematic anti-tumor immune stimulating strategy by remodeling tumor stromal microenvironment.

Abstract
Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is a heterogeneous group of breast cancer that accounts for 10-30% of breast cancer cases. Despite the ongoing development of current treatment methods, LABC remains a severe and complex public health concern around the world, thus prompting the urgent requirement for innovative diagnosis and treatment strategies. The primary treatment challenges are inoperable clinical status and ineffective local control methods. With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology, inorganic nanoparticles (INPs) exhibit a potential application prospect in diagnosing and treating breast cancer. Due to the unique inherent characteristics of INPs, different functions can be performed via appropriate modifications and constructions, thus making them suitable for different imaging technology strategies and treatment schemes. INPs can improve the efficacy of conventional local radiotherapy treatment. In the face of inoperable LABC, INPs have proposed new local therapeutic methods and fostered the evolution of novel strategies such as photothermal and photodynamic therapy, magnetothermal therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and multifunctional inorganic nanoplatform. This article reviews the advances of INPs in local accurate imaging and breast cancer treatment and offers insights to overcome the existing clinical difficulties in LABC management.

Abstract
In addition to repressing proliferation, inhibiting the infiltration of tumor cells is an important strategy to improve the treatment of malignant tumors. Herein, a photocatalyst (pCNMC@Pt) is designed by sequentially assembling manganese dioxide, chlorin e6, and platinum (Pt) nanoparticles onto protonated graphitic carbon nitride. With the help of a Z-scheme structure and near-infrared (NIR) photosensitizer, pCNMC@Pt is capable of responding to NIR light to generate large amounts of hydrogen (H2). Taking lactic acid in the tumor microenvironment as a sacrificial reagent, H2 therapy initiated by the NIR photocatalyst remarkably impedes the growth of glioblastoma (GBM). More importantly, it is found that H2 can suppress the stemness of glioma stem cells, curbing both proliferation and infiltration of GBM. Furthermore, since pCNMC@Pt and light source are precisely co-localized through a self-built loading and illumination system, GBM in mouse brains can be efficiently treated, providing an alternative gas therapy approach to cure infiltrating tumors.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is applied to bladder cancer (BC) given its advantages of high depth of tissue penetration and nontoxicity due to the unique anatomical location of the bladder near the abdominal surface. However, low electron-hole separation efficiency and wide bandgap of sonosensitizers limit the effectiveness of SDT. This study aims to develop a TiO2-Ru-PEG Schottky heterojunction sonosensitizer with high electron-hole separation and narrow bandgap for SDT in BC. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experiments collectively demonstrate that the bandgap of TiO2-Ru-PEG is reduced due to the Schottky heterojunction with the characteristic of crystalline-amorphous interface formed by the deposition of ruthenium (Ru) within the shell layer of TiO2. Thanks to the enhancement of oxygen adsorption and the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs, TiO2-Ru-PEG promotes the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under ultrasound (US) irradiation, resulting in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of bladder tumor cells. The in vivo results prove that TiO2-Ru-PEG boosted the subcutaneous and orthotopic bladder tumor models while exhibiting good safety. This study adopts the ruthenium complex for optimizing sonosensitizers, contributing to the progress of SDT improvement strategies and presenting a paradigm for BC therapy.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), due to its high malignant degree and strong invasion ability, leads to poor prognosis and easy recurrence, so effectively curbing the invasion of TNBC is the key to obtaining the ideal therapeutic effect. Herein, a therapeutic strategy is developed that curbs high invasions of TNBC by inhibiting cell physiological activity and disrupting tumor cell structural function to achieve the time and space dual-blockade. The time blockade is caused by the breakthrough of the tumor-reducing blockade based on the ferroptosis process and the oxidation-toxic free radicals generated by enhanced sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Meanwhile, alkyl radicals from 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochloride (AIPH) and 1O2 attacked the organelles of tumor cells under ultrasound (US), reducing the physiological activity of the cells. The attack of free radicals on the cytoskeleton, especially on the proteins of F-actin and its assembly pathway, achieves precise space blockade of TNBC. The damage to the cytoskeleton and the suppression of the repair process leads to a significant decline in the ability of tumor cells to metastasize and invade other organs. In summary, the FTM@AM nanoplatforms have a highly effective killing and invasion inhibition effect on invasive TNBC mediated by ultrasound, showcasing promising clinical transformation potential.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a non-invasive strategy for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is promising for cancer treatment. However, increasing ROS in tumor therapy remains challenging. Therefore, exogenous excitation and inhibition of electron-hole pair recombination are attractive for modulating ROS storms in tumors. Herein, a Ce-doped BiFeO3 (CBFO) piezoelectric sonosensitizer to modulate ROS generation and realize a synergistic mechanism of CDT/sonodynamic therapy and piezodynamic therapy (PzDT) is proposed. The mixed Fe2+ and Ce3+ can implement a circular Fenton/Fenton-like reaction in the tumor microenvironment. Abundant ·OH can be generated by ultrasound (US) stimulation to enhance CDT efficacy. As a typical piezoelectric sonosensitizer, CBFO can produce O2 - owing to the enhanced polarization by the US, resulting in the motion of charge carriers. In addition, CBFO can produce a piezoresponse irradiated upon US, which accelerates the migration rate of electrons/holes in opposite directions and results in energy band bending, further achieving toxic ROS production and realizing PzDT. Density functional theory calculations confirmed that Ce doping shortens the diffusion of electrons and improves the conductivity and catalytic activity of CBFO. This distinct US-enhanced strategy emphasizes the effects of doping engineering and piezoelectric-optimized therapy and shows great potential for the treatment of malignant tumors.

Abstract
Cuproptosis has drawn enormous attention in antitumor material fields; however, the responsive activation of cuproptosis against tumors using nanomaterials with high atom utilization is still challenging. Herein, a copper-based nanoplatform consisting of acid-degradable copper hydride (CuH) nanoparticles was developed via a microfluidic synthesis. After coating with tumor-targeting hyaluronic acid (HA), the nanoplatform denoted as HA-CuH-PVP (HCP) shows conspicuous damage toward tumor cells by generating Cu+ and hydrogen (H2) simultaneously. Cu+ can induce apoptosis by relying on Fenton-like reactions and lead to cuproptosis by causing mitochondrial protein aggregation. Besides, the existence of H2 can enhance both cell death types by causing mitochondrial dysfunction and intracellular redox homeostatic disorders. In vivo experimental results further exhibit the desirable potential of HCP for killing tumor cells and inhibiting lung metastases, which will broaden the horizons of designing copper-based materials triggering apoptosis and cuproptosis for better antitumor efficacy.

Abstract
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is one of the most important diagnosis techniques for various vascular diseases in clinic. However, metallic artifacts caused by metal implants and calcified plaques in more and more patients severely hinder its wide applications. Herein, we propose an improved metallic artifacts-free spectral CTA technique based on renal clearable bismuth chelate (Bi-DTPA dimeglumine) for the first time. Bi-DTPA dimeglumine owns the merits of ultra-simple synthetic process, approximately 100% of yield, large-scale production capability, good biocompatibility, and favorable renal clearable ability. More importantly, Bi-DTPA dimeglumine shows superior contrast-enhanced effect in CTA compared with clinical iohexol at a wide range of X-ray energies especially in higher X-ray energy. In rabbits' model with metallic transplants, Bi-DTPA dimeglumine assisted-spectral CTA can not only effectively mitigate metallic artifacts by reducing beam hardening effect under high X-ray energy, but also enables accurate delineation of vascular structure. Our proposed strategy opens a revolutionary way to solve the bottleneck problem of metallic artifacts in CTA examinations.

Abstract
With the rapid development of external minimally invasive or noninvasive therapeutic modalities, ultrasound-based sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a new alternative for treating deep tumors. However, inadequate sonosensitizer efficiency and poor biosecurity limit clinical applications. In this study, we prepared an oxygen-vacancy-engineered W18 O49-x nanobrush with a band gap of 2.79 eV for highly efficient SDT using a simple solvothermal method. The suitable band structures of the W18 O49-x nanobrush endows it with the potential to simultaneously produce singlet oxygen (1 O2 ), superoxide anions (⋅O2 - ), and hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH) under ultrasound irradiation. Additionally, abundant oxygen vacancies that serve as further charge traps that inhibit electron-hole recombination are incidentally introduced through one-step thermal reduction. Collectively, the in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the oxygen-vacancy-engineered W18 O49-x nanobrush delivers highly efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) for SDT in a very biosafe manner. Overall, this study provides a new avenue for discovering and designing inorganic nanosonosensitizers with enhanced therapeutic efficiencies for use in SDT.

Abstract
Although metal single-atom (SA)-based nanomaterials are explored as sonosensitizers for sonodynamic therapy (SDT), they normally exhibit poor activities and need to combine with other therapeutic strategies. Herein, the deposition of metal SAs on oxygen vacancy (OV)-rich WO3- x nanosheets to generate a synergistic effect for efficient SDT is reported. Crystalline WO3 and OV-rich WO3- x nanosheets are first prepared by simple calcination of the WO3 ·H2 O nanosheets under an air and N2 atmosphere, respectively. Pt, Cu, Fe, Co, and Ni metal SAs are then deposited on WO3- x nanosheets to obtain metal SA-decorated WO3- x nanocomposites (M-WO3- x ). Importantly, the Cu-WO3- x sonosensitizer exhibits a much higher activity for ultrasound (US)-induced production of reactive oxygen species than that of the WO3- x and Cu SA-decorated WO3 , which is also higher than other M-WO3- x nanosheets. Both the experimental and theoretical results suggest that the excellent SDT performance of the Cu-WO3- x nanosheets should be attributed to the synergistic effect between Cu SAs and WO3- x OVs. Therefore, after polyethylene glycol modification, the Cu-WO3- x can quickly kill cancer cells in vitro and effectively eradicate tumors in vivo under US irradiation. Transcriptome sequencing analysis and further molecular validation suggest that the Cu-WO3- x -mediated SDT-activated apoptosis and TNF signaling pathways are potential drivers of tumor apoptosis induction.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced photoimmunotherapy has aroused great interest due to its intrinsic noninvasiveness and spatiotemporal precision, while immune evasion evoked by lactic acid (LA) accumulation severely limits its clinical outcomes. Although several metabolic interventions have been devoted to ameliorate immunosuppression, intracellular residual LA still remains a potential energy source for oncocyte proliferation. Herein, an immunomodulatory nanoadjuvant based on a yolk-shell CoP/NiCoP (CNCP) heterostructure loaded with the monocarboxylate transporter 4 inhibitor fluvastatin sodium (Flu) is constructed to concurrently relieve immunosuppression and elicit robust antitumor immunity. Under NIR irradiation, CNCP heterojunctions exhibit superior photothermal performance and photocatalytic production of reactive oxygen species and hydrogen. The continuous heat then facilitates Flu release to restrain LA exudation from tumor cells, whereas cumulative LA can be depleted as a hole scavenger to improve photocatalytic efficiency. Subsequently, potentiated photocatalytic therapy can not only initiate systematic immunoreaction, but also provoke severe mitochondrial dysfunction and disrupt the energy supply for heat shock protein synthesis, in turn realizing mild photothermal therapy. Consequently, LA metabolic remodeling endows an intensive cascade treatment with an optimal safety profile to effectually suppress tumor proliferation and metastasis, which offers a new paradigm for the development of metabolism-regulated immunotherapy.

Abstract
Treating cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine, with traditional treatment options often being limited by poor therapeutic outcomes and unacceptable side effects. Nanocatalytic therapy activates tumor-localized catalytic reactions in situ via nontoxic or minimally toxic nanocatalysts responding to unique cues from the tumor microenvironment or external stimuli. In particular, sonocatalytic cancer therapy is a promising approach that has emerged as a potential solution to this problem through the combination of ultrasound waves and catalytic materials to selectively target and destroy cancer cells. Compared to light, ultrasound exhibits higher spatial precision, lower energy attenuation, and superior tissue penetrability, furnishing more energy to catalysts. Multidimensional modulation of nanocatalyst structures and properties is pivotal to maximizing catalytic efficiency given constraints in external stimulative energy as well as substrate types and levels. In this review, we discuss the various theories and mechanisms underlying sonocatalytic cancer therapy, as well as advanced catalysts that have been developed for this application. Additionally, we explore the design of sonocatalytic cancer therapy systems, including the use of heterojunction catalysts and the optimal conditions for achieving maximum therapeutic effects. Finally, we highlight the potential benefits of sonocatalytic cancer therapy over traditional cancer treatments, including its noninvasive nature and lower toxicity.

Abstract
The combination of noble metal nanoparticles with metal-organic complexes has attracted great attention for exploring new properties in biomedical application areas. So far, the preparation of noble metal nanoparticle-loaded metal-organic complexes often requires complex processes. Here, a simple coordination-crystallization approach was developed to prepare platinum nanoparticle-anchored metal-organic complexes (Pt-MOCs) by directly mixing disulfiram (DSF), chloroplatinic acid, and a reducing agent. The DSF and Pt ions first coordinate forming metal-organic complex nanospheres and then the Pt nanoparticles crystallized on the surface taking advantage of the coordination rate of the metal ions and organic ligand being greater than the reduction rate of the metal ions. The Pt-MOCs possess uniform and adjustable diameter (240-536 nm), and their surface potentials can also be modulated easily from -22 to +14 mV by adjusting the ratio of DSF and chloroplatinic acid. Phantom experiments show that the Pt-MOC nanospheres significantly improve the efficiency of singlet oxygen production after exposure to ultrasound irradiation. In vitro experiments show that the Pt-MOCs effectively produce reactive oxygen species and exhibit superior cytotoxicity for tumor cells under ultrasound irradiation compared to metal-organic complexes (MOCs) or Pt nanoparticles. Taken together, this work reports a coordination-crystallization approach to synthesize Pt-MOCs, which show excellent sonodynamic therapy for tumors.

Abstract
Background Photothermal therapy (PTT) has gained considerable interest as an emerging modality for cancer treatment in recent years. Radiation therapy (RT) has been widely used in the clinic as a traditional treatment method. However, RT and PTT treatments are limited by side effects and penetration depth, respectively. In addition, hypoxia within the tumor can lead to increased resistance to treatment. Methods We synthesized multiple sizes of AuPt by modulating the reaction conditions. The smallest size of AuPt was selected and modified with folic acid (FA) for PTT and RT synergy therapy. Various methods including transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FITR) are used to determine the structure and composition of AuPt-FA (AF). In addition, we researched the photothermal properties of AF with IR cameras and infrared lasers. Flow cytometry, colony formation assays, CCK8, and fluorescent staining for probing the treatment effect in vitro. Also, we explored the targeting of AF by TEM and In Vivo Imaging Systems (IVIS). In vivo experiments, we record changes in tumor volume and weight as well as staining of tumor sections (ROS, Ki67, and hematoxylin and eosin). Results The AuPt with particle size of 16 nm endows it with remarkably high photothermal conversion efficiency (46.84%) and catalase activity compared to other sizes of AuPt (30 nm and 100 nm). AF alleviates hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, leading to the production of more reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the treatment. In addition, the therapeutic effect was significantly enhanced by combining RT and PTT, with an apoptosis rate of 81.1% in vitro and an in vivo tumor volume reduction rate of 94.0% in vivo. Conclusion These results demonstrate that AF potentiates the synergistic effect of PTT and RT and has the potential for clinical translation.

Acta Biomater 2023; 170:496-506. [PMID: 37660961 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.08.055] [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: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
Nanozyme-based catalytic therapy is an effective method for cancer treatment, but insufficient catalytic activity presents a challenge in achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes. External light can provide an innovative approach to modulate nanozyme catalytic activity. Herein, we report on plasmonic gold nanobipyramid@cuprous oxide (Au NBP@Cu2O) nanozyme for the effective phototherapy of breast cancer. In the tumor microenvironment, Cu+-mediated Fenton-like reaction catalyzes the generation of toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) from endogenous hydrogen peroxide to induce apoptosis. Additionally, the Au NBP@Cu2O nanostructure improves the absorption performance of Au NBPs in the near-infrared II region through near-field enhancement of equipartite exciters and achieves a high photothermal conversion efficiency value of 58%. Remarkably, the Au NBP@Cu2O nanoheterostructure can capture hot electrons induced by equipartition excitations and promote electron-hole separation under 1064 nm laser irradiation, facilitating the production of more reactive oxygen species (ROS). The mechanism behind this enhanced catalytic activity was unraveled using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Both in vitro and in vivo investigations have demonstrated the efficacious tumor therapeutic potential of Au NBP@Cu2O nanozyme, particularly under 1064 nm laser irradiation. Furthermore, the proposed therapeutic approach has been proved to effectively block tumor metastasis, providing a promising strategy for the development of multifunctional nanotherapeutics to tackle metastatic tumors. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A highly effective plasmonic nanozyme has been developed to improve catalytic therapy for breast cancer. When exposed to 1064 nm laser irradiation, Au NBP@Cu2O nanozyme can promote the separation of hot electrons and holes thereby facilitating the production of reactive oxygen species. Hot electrons transfer behavior is unveiled by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy technique. This enhanced catalytic activity, along with the intrinsic photothermal effect, effectively kills tumor cells.

Abstract
The metabolic disorder of hepatocytes in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) leads to the formation of an iron pool which induces the Fenton reaction-derived ferroptosis and the deterioration of liver disease. The elimination of the iron pool for the removal of Fenton reactions is vitally important to prevent the evolution of NAFLD, but quite challenging. In this work, we discover that free heme in the iron pool of NAFLD can catalyze the hydrogenation of H2O2/‧OH to block the heme-based Fenton reaction for the first time, and therefore develop a novel hepatocyte-targeted hydrogen delivery system (MSN-Glu) by modifying magnesium silicide nanosheets (MSN) with N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl) gluconamide to block the heme-catalyzed vicious circle of liver disease. The developed MSN-Glu nanomedicine exhibits a high hydrogen delivery capacity as well as sustained hydrogen release and hepatocyte-targeting behaviors, and remarkably improves the metabolic function of the liver in a NAFLD mouse model by the relief of oxidative stress and the prevention of ferroptosis in hepatocytes, accelerating the removal of the iron pool in fundamental support of NAFLD prevention. The proposed prevention strategy based on the mechanisms of NAFLD disease and hydrogen medicine will provide an inspiration for inflammation-related disease prevention.

Abstract
Macrophage-mediated cellular phagocytosis (MMCP) plays a critical role in conducting antitumor immunotherapy but is usually impaired by the intrinsic phagocytosis evading ability of tumor cells and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a MMCP-boosting hydrogel (TCCaGM) was elaborately engineered by encapsulating granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and a therapeutic nanoplatform (TCCaN) that preloaded with the tunicamycin (Tuni) and catalase (CAT) with the assistance of CaCO3 nanoparticles (NPs). Strikingly, the hypoxic/acidic TME was efficiently alleviated by the engineered hydrogel, "eat me" signal calreticulin (CRT) was upregulated, while the "don't eat me" signal CD47 was downregulated on tumor cells, and the infiltrated DCs were recruited and activated, all of which contributed to boosting the macrophage-mediated phagocytosis and initiating tumor-specific CD8+ T cells responses. Meanwhile, the remodeled TME was beneficial to accelerate the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to the antitumoral M1-like phenotype, further heightening tumoricidal immunity. With the combination of PD-1 antibody (αPD-1), the designed hydrogel significantly heightened systemic antitumor immune responses and long-term immunological effects to control the development of primary and distant tumors as well as suppress tumor metastasis and recurrence, which established an optimal strategy for high-performance antitumor immunotherapy.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2304262. [PMID: 37437264 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202304262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023]
Abstract
Piezocatalytic therapy, which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) under mechanical force, has garnered extensive attention for its use in cancer therapy owing to its deep tissue penetration depth and less O2 -dependence. However, the piezocatalytic therapeutic efficiency is limited owing to the poor piezoresponse, low separation of electron-hole pairs, and complicated tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a biodegradable, porous Mn-doped ZnO (Mn-ZnO) nanocluster with enhanced piezoelectric effect is constructed via doping engineering. Mn-doping not only induces lattice distortion to increase polarization but also creates rich oxygen vacancies (OV ) for suppressing the recombination of electron-hole pairs, leading to high-efficiency generation of ROS under ultrasound irradiation. Moreover, Mn-doped ZnO shows TME-responsive multienzyme-mimicking activity and glutathione (GSH) depletion ability owing to the mixed valence of Mn (II/III), further aggravating oxidative stress. Density functional theory calculations show that Mn-doping can improve the piezocatalytic performance and enzyme activity of Mn-ZnO due to the presence of OV . Benefiting from the boosting of ROS generation and GSH depletion ability, Mn-ZnO can significantly accelerate the accumulation of lipid peroxide and inactivate glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) to induce ferroptosis. The work may provide new guidance for exploring novel piezoelectric sonosensitizers for tumor therapy.
