Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that the accumulations of reactive oxygen species (ROS), β-amyloid (Aβ), and neuroinflammation are crucial pathological hallmarks for the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet there are few effective treatment strategies. Therefore, design of nanomaterials capable of simultaneously elimination of ROS and inhibition of Aβ aggregation and neuroinflammation is urgently needed for AD treatment. Herein, we designed human serum albumin (HSA)-embedded ultrasmall copper nanoclusters (CuNCs@HSA) via an HSA-mediated fabrication strategy. The as-prepared CuNCs@HSA exhibited outstanding multiple enzyme-like properties, including superoxide dismutase (>5000 U/mg), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activities as well as hydroxyl radicals scavenging ability. Besides, CuNCs@HSA prominently inhibited Aβ fibrillization, and its inhibitory potency was 2.5-fold higher than native HSA. Moreover, CuNCs@HSA could significantly increase the viability of Aβ-treated cells from 60 % to over 96 % at 40 μg/mL and mitigate Aβ-induced oxidative stresses. The secretion of neuroinflammatory cytokines by lipopolysaccharide-induced BV-2 cells, including tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6, was alleviated by CuNCs@HSA. In vivo studies manifested that CuNCs@HSA effectively suppressed the formation of plaques in transgenic C. elegans, reduced ROS levels, and extended C. elegans lifespan by 5 d. This work, using HSA as a template to mediate the fabrication of copper nanoclusters with robust ROS scavenging capability, exhibited promising potentials in inhibiting Aβ aggregation and neuroinflammation for AD treatment.

Abstract
Biothiol assays offer vital insights into health assessment and facilitate the early detection of potential health issues, thereby enabling timely and effective interventions. In this study, we developed ultrasmall CuMn-Histidine (His) nanozymes with multiple enzymatic activities. CuMn-His enhanced peroxidase (POD)-like activity at neutral pH was achieved through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic effects. In addition, CuMn-His possesses laccase (LAC)-like and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities at neutral pH. Based on three different enzyme mimetic activities of CuMn-His at neutral pH, the colorimetric sensing array without changing the buffer solution was successfully constructed. The array was successfully used for the identification of three biothiols, glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys), and homocysteine (Hcy). Subsequently, excellent application results were shown in complex serum and cellular level analyses. This study provides an innovative strategy for the development of ultrasmall bimetallic nanozymes with multiple enzymatic activities and the construction of colorimetric sensing arrays.

Abstract
Metal nanozymes have offered attractive opportunities for biocatalysis and biomedicine. However, fabricating nanozymes simultaneously possessing highly catalytic selectivity and activity remains a great challenge due to the lack of three-dimensional (3D) architecture of the catalytic pocket in natural enzymes. Here, we integrate rhodium nanocluster (RhNC), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and protamine (PRTM, a typical arginine-rich peptide) into a composite facilely based on the single peptide. Remarkably, the PRTM-RhNC@rGO composite displays outstanding selectivity, activity, and stability for the catalytic degradation of uric acid. The reaction rate constant of the uric acid oxidation catalyzed by the PRTM-RhNC@rGO composite is about 1.88 × 10-3 s-1 (4 μg/mL), which is 37.6 times higher than that of reported RhNP (k = 5 × 10-5 s-1, 20 μg/mL). Enzyme kinetic studies reveal that the PRTM-RhNC@rGO composite exhibits a similar affinity for uric acid as natural uricase. Furthermore, the uricase-like activity of PRTM-RhNC@rGO nanozymes remains in the presence of sulfur substances and halide ions, displaying incredibly well antipoisoning abilities. The analysis of the structure-function relationship indicates the PRTM-RhNC@rGO composite features the substrate binding site near the catalytic site in a confined space contributed by 2D rGO and PRTM, resulting in the high-performance of the composite nanozyme. Based on the outstanding uricase-like activity and the interaction of PRTM and uric acid, the PRTM-RhNC@rGO composite can retard the urate crystallization significantly. The present work provides new insights into the design of metal nanozymes with suitable binding sites near catalytic sites by mimicking pocket-like structures in natural enzymes based on simple peptides, conducing to broadening the practical application of high-performance nanozymes in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease, affecting more than 595 million people worldwide. Nanomaterials possess superior physicochemical properties and can influence pathological processes due to their unique structural features, such as size, surface interface, and photoelectromagnetic thermal effects. Unlike traditional OA treatments, which suffer from short half-life, low stability, poor bioavailability, and high systemic toxicity, nanotherapeutic strategies for OA offer longer half-life, enhanced targeting, improved bioavailability, and reduced systemic toxicity. These advantages effectively address the limitations of traditional therapies. This review aims to inspire researchers to develop more multifunctional nanomaterials and promote their practical application in OA treatment.

Abstract
As an emerging cancer treatment strategy, reactive oxygen species-based tumor catalytic therapies face enormous challenges due to hypoxia and the overexpression of glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, a self-assembled copper-based nanoplatform, TCCHA, was designed for enzyme-like catalysis-enhanced chemodynamic/photodynamic/antiangiogenic tritherapy against hepatocellular carcinoma. TCCHA was fabricated from Cu2+, 3,3'-dithiobis (propionohydrazide), and photosensitizer chlorine e6 via a facile one-pot self-assembly strategy, after which an aldehyde hyaluronic acid was coated, followed by loading of the antivascular drug AL3818. The obtained TCCHA nanoparticles exhibited pH/GSH dual-responsive drug release behaviors and multienzymatic activities, including Fenton, glutathione peroxidase-, and catalase-like activities. TCCHA, a redox homeostasis disruptor, promotes ⋅OH generation and GSH depletion, thus increasing the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy. TCCHA, which has catalase-like activity, can also reinforce the efficacy of photodynamic therapy by amplifying O2 production. In vivo, TCCHA efficiently inhibited tumor angiogenesis and suppressed tumor growth without apparent systemic toxicity. Overall, this study presents a facile strategy for the preparation of multienzyme-like nanoparticles, and TCCHA nanoparticles display great potential for enzyme catalysis-enhanced chemodynamic/photodynamic/antiangiogenic triple therapy against cancer.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters feature a hierarchical structure, facilitating their ability to mimic enzyme-catalyzed reactions. However, the lack of true catalytic centers, compounded by tightly bound surface ligands hindering electron transfers to substrates, underscores the need for universal rational design methodologies to emulate the structure and mechanisms of natural enzymes. Motivated by the electron transfer in active centers with specific chemical structures, by integrating the peroxidase cofactor Fe-TCPP onto the surface of glutathione-stabilized gold nanoclusters (AuSG), we engineered AuSG-Fe-TCPP clusterzymes with a remarkable 39.6-fold enhancement in peroxidase-like activity compared to AuSG. Fe-TCPP not only mimics the active center structure, enhancing affinity to H2O2, but also facilitates the electron transfer process, enabling efficient H2O2 activation. By exemplifying the establishment of a detecting platform for trace H2O2 produced by ultrasonic cleaners, we substantiate that the bioinspired surface-ligand-engineered electron transfer can improve sensing performance with a wider linear range and lower detection limit.

Abstract
Nanozyme-driven catalytic therapy provides a promising treatment strategy for bacterial biofilm-infected wounds. However, the single functionality and limited catalytic efficiency of nanozyme-based materials often restrict the effectiveness of wound infection treatment. In this study, CuCo2O4 nanoflowers with multiple enzymatic activities were prepared for antibacterial/antibiofilm treatment by cuproptosis-like death. CuCo2O4 exhibited peroxidase-like (POD-like) and oxidase-like (OXD-like) dual enzyme activities that generated large amounts of •OH and O2•-. Moreover, the glutathione peroxidase-like (GSH-Px-like) activity of CuCo2O4 was able to reduce the overexpression of GSH in the wound microenvironment, enhancing the therapeutic effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The morphology of CuCo2O4 was modified using a hydrothermal method with PEG4000 as the solvent, resulting in the exposure of more active center sites and a significant improvement in enzyme catalytic activity. The in vitro results demonstrated the pronounced disruption effect of CuCo2O4 on biofilms formed by bacteria. In vivo, CuCo2O4 significantly promoted angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and cell proliferation. Transcriptome sequencing revealed that elevated ROS levels in bacteria led to cell membrane damage and metabolic disruption. In addition, Cu2+ overload in bacteria induces lipid peroxidation accumulation and disrupts the respiratory chain and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, ultimately leading to bacterial cuproptosis-like death. This therapeutic strategy, which combines the synergistic effects of multiple enzyme-like activities with cuproptosis-like death, provides an approach for treating biofilm infections.

Abstract
Nanozymes are unique materials with many valuable properties for applications in biomedicine, biosensing, environmental monitoring, and beyond. In this work, we developed a machine learning (ML) approach to search for new nanozymes and deployed a web platform, DiZyme, featuring a state-of-the-art database of nanozymes containing 1210 experimental samples, catalytic activity prediction, and DiZyme Assistant interface powered by a large language model (LLM). For the first time, we enable the prediction of multiple catalytic activities of nanozymes by training an ensemble learning algorithm achieving R2 = 0.75 for the Michaelis-Menten constant and R2 = 0.77 for the maximum velocity on unseen test data. We envision an accurate prediction of multiple catalytic activities (peroxidase, oxidase, and catalase) promoting novel applications for a wide range of surface-modified inorganic nanozymes. The DiZyme Assistant based on the ChatGPT model provides users with supporting information on experimental samples, such as synthesis procedures, measurement protocols, etc. DiZyme (dizyme.aicidlab.itmo.ru) is now openly available worldwide.

Abstract
Sensitive detection and point-of-care test of bacterial pathogens is of great significance in safeguarding the public health worldwide. Inspired by the characteristics of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), we synthesized a hybrid nanoflower with peroxidase-like activity via a three-component self-assembled strategy. Interestingly, the prepared nanozyme not only could act as an alternative to HRP for colorimetric biosensing, but also function as a unique signal probe that could be recognized by a pregnancy test strip. By combining the bifunctional properties of hybrid nanoflower, isothermal amplification of LAMP, and the specific recognition and non-specific cleavage properties of CRISPR/Cas12a system, the dual-readout CRISPR/Cas12a biosensor was developed for sensitive and rapid detection of Salmonella enterica. Moreover, this platform in the detection of Salmonella enterica had limits of detection of 1 cfu/mL (colorimetric assay) in the linear range of 101-108 cfu/mL and 102 cfu/mL (lateral flow assay) in the linear range of 102-108 cfu/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the developed biosensor exhibited good recoveries in the spiked samples (lake water and milk) with varying concentrations of Salmonella enterica. This work provides new insights for the design of multifunctional nanozyme and the development of innovative dual-readout CRISPR/Cas system-based biosensing platform for the detection of pathogens.

Abstract
In this work, a colorimetric/fluorescent dual-signal mode sensor is proposed for the sensitive, selective and accurate detection and removal of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs). A triple-metal MOF of NiCoFe is successfully synthesized and controllable adjusted the shape of the hollow structure for the first time, and then modified with TCs aptamer. The as-prepared triple-atom MOF (apt-NiCoFe-MOF-74) exhibits well-defined hollow morphology, high crystallinity, and high surface areas endow their alluring adsorption and removal performances for TCs. More attractively, this triple-metal MOF show a good peroxidase-like activity and strong fluorescence property at 540 nm of apt-NiCoFe-MOF-74 when excitation wavelength was 370 nm. Inspire by this, a dual-signal output biosensor is constructed and the linear absorbance response is well correlated with wide range and low LOD for TCs. The biosensor provided an universal method with satisfactory sensitivity and accuracy for TCs analysis in real food samples.

Flare and multiple recurrences pose significant challenges in gouty arthritis. Traditional treatments provide temporary relief from inflammation but fail to promptly alleviate patient pain or effectively prevent subsequent recurrences. It should also be noted that both anti-inflammation and metabolism of uric acid are necessary for gouty arthritis, calling for therapeutic systems to achieve these two goals simultaneously. In this study, we propose a biomimetic integrated nanozyme, HMPB-Pt@MM, comprising platinum nanozyme and hollow Prussian blue. It demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties by eliminating reactive oxygen species and reducing infiltration of inflammatory macrophages. Additionally, it rapidly targets inflamed ankles through the camouflage of macrophage membranes. Furthermore, HMPB-Pt@MM exhibits urate oxidase-like capabilities, continuously metabolizing locally elevated uric acid concentrations, ultimately inhibiting multiple recurrences of gouty arthritis. In summary, HMPB-Pt@MM integrates ROS clearance with uric acid metabolism, offering a promising platform for the treatment of gouty arthritis.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a surge in annual plastic production, which has contributed to growing environmental challenges, particularly in the form of microplastics. Effective management of plastic and microplastic waste has become a critical concern, necessitating innovative strategies to address its impact on ecosystems and human health. In this context, catalytic degradation of microplastics emerges as a pivotal approach that holds significant promise for mitigating the persistent effects of plastic pollution. In this article, we critically explored the current state of catalytic degradation of microplastics and discussed the definition of degradation, characterization methods for degradation products, and the criteria for standard sample preparation. Moreover, the significance and effectiveness of various catalytic entities, including enzymes, transition metal ions (for the Fenton reaction), nanozymes, and microorganisms are summarized. Finally, a few key issues and future perspectives regarding the catalytic degradation of microplastics are proposed.

Abstract
While oral probiotics show promise in treating inflammatory bowel disease, the primary challenge lies in sustaining their activity and retention within the inflamed gastrointestinal environment. In this work, we develop an engineered probiotic platform that is armed with biocatalytic and inflamed colon-targeting nanocoatings for multipronged management of IBD. Notably, we achieve the in situ growth of artificial nanocatalysts on probiotics through a bioinspired mineralization strategy. The resulting ferrihydrite nanostructures anchored on bacteria exhibit robust catalase-like activity across a broad pH range, effectively scavenging ROS to alleviate inflammation. The further envelopment with fucoidan-based shields confers probiotics with additional inflamed colon-targeting functions. Upon oral administration, the engineered probiotics display markedly improved viability and colonization within the inflamed intestine, and they further elicit boosted prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy against colitis through the synergistic interplay of nanocatalysis-based immunomodulation and probiotics-mediated microbiota reshaping. The robust and multifunctional probiotic platforms offer great potential for the comprehensive management of gastrointestinal disorders.

Abstract
Nanozymes, characterized by their nanoscale size and enzyme-like catalytic activities, exhibit diverse therapeutic potentials, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-angiogenic effects. These properties make them highly valuable in nanomedicine, particularly ocular therapy, bypassing the need for systemic delivery. Nanozymes show significant promise in tackling multi-factored ocular diseases, particularly those influenced by oxidation and inflammation, like dry eye disease, and age-related macular degeneration. Their small size, coupled with their ease of modification and integration into soft materials, facilitates the effective penetration of ocular barriers, thereby enabling targeted or prolonged therapy within the eye. This review is dedicated to exploring ocular diseases that are intricately linked to oxidation and inflammation, shedding light on the role of nanozymes in managing these conditions. Additionally, recent studies elucidating advanced applications of nanozymes in ocular therapeutics, along with their integration with soft materials for disease management, are discussed. Finally, this review outlines directions for future investigations aimed at bridging the gap between nanozyme research and clinical applications.

Abstract
Along with an ever-deepening understanding of the catalytic principle of natural enzymes, the rational design of high-activity biomimetic nanozymes has become a hot topic in current research. Inspired by the active centers of natural enzymes consisting of catalytic sites and binding pockets, a Cu-doped CoS2 hollow nanocube (Cu/CoS2 HNCs) nanozyme integrating substitution defects and vacancies is developed through a defect engineering strategy. It is shown that the vacancies and substitution defects in the developed Cu/CoS2 HNC nanozymes serve as binding pockets and catalytic sites, respectively. The construction of this key active center and the accelerated electron transfer from the Co/Cu redox cycle significantly improve the substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency of the Cu/CoS2 HNCs nanozymes, which results in the excellent catalytic performance of the Cu/CoS2 HNC nanozymes. Using the superior enzymatic activity of Cu/CoS2 HNCs, a fluorescence detection platform for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is established, which is a wider detection range and lower limit of detection (LOD) than previous work. This work broadens the family of nanozymes and provide a new idea for the development of novel nanozymes with high enzyme activity, as well as a guideline for the construction of highly sensitive fluorescent sensors.

Gadolinium Doping Modulates the Enzyme-like Activity and Radical-Scavenging Properties of CeO 2 Nanoparticles. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:769.

Abstract
Their unique physicochemical properties and multi-enzymatic activity make CeO2 nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) the most promising active component of the next generation of theranostic drugs. When doped with gadolinium ions, CeO2 NPs constitute a new type of contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging, possessing improved biocatalytic properties and a high level of biocompatibility. The present study is focused on an in-depth analysis of the enzyme-like properties of gadolinium-doped CeO2 NPs (CeO2:Gd NPs) and their antioxidant activity against superoxide anion radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and alkylperoxyl radicals. Using an anion-exchange method, CeO2:Gd NPs (~5 nm) with various Gd-doping levels (10 mol.% or 20 mol.%) were synthesized. The radical-scavenging properties and biomimetic activities (namely SOD- and peroxidase-like activities) of CeO2:Gd NPs were assessed using a chemiluminescent method with selective chemical probes: luminol, lucigenin, and L-012 (a highly sensitive luminol analogue). In particular, gadolinium doping has been shown to enhance the radical-scavenging properties of CeO2 NPs. Unexpectedly, both bare CeO2 NPs and CeO2:Gd NPs did not exhibit SOD-like activity, acting as pro-oxidants and contributing to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Gadolinium doping caused an increase in the pro-oxidant properties of nanoscale CeO2. At the same time, CeO2:Gd NPs did not significantly inhibit the intrinsic activity of the natural enzyme superoxide dismutase, and CeO2:Gd NPs conjugated with SOD demonstrated SOD-like activity. In contrast to SOD-like properties, peroxidase-like activity was observed for both bare CeO2 NPs and CeO2:Gd NPs. This type of enzyme-like activity was found to be pH-dependent. In a neutral medium (pH = 7.4), nanoscale CeO2 acted as a prooxidant enzyme (peroxidase), while in an alkaline medium (pH = 8.6), it lost its catalytic properties; thus, it cannot be regarded as a nanozyme. Both gadolinium doping and conjugation with a natural enzyme were shown to modulate the interaction of CeO2 NPs with the key components of redox homeostasis.

Abstract
A dual-mode (colorimetric/fluorescence) nanoenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (NLISA) was developed based on Au-Cu nanocubes generating Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs). It is expected that this method can be used to detect the residues of sulfonamides in the field, and solve the problem of long analysis time and high cost of the traditional method. Sulfadimethoxine (SDM) was selected as the proof-of-concept target analyte. The Au-Cu nanocubes were linked to the aptamer by amide interaction, and the Au-Cu nanocubes, SDM and antibody were immobilized on a 96-well plate using the sandwich method. The assay generates PBNPs by oxidising the Cu shells on the Au-Cu nanocubes in the presence of hydrochloric acid, Fe3+ and K3[Fe (CN)6]. In this process, the copper shell undergoes oxidation to Cu2+ and subsequently Cu2 + further quenches the fluorescence of the carbon point. PBNPs exhibit peroxidase-like activity, oxidising 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to OX-TMB in the presence of H2O2, which alters the colorimetric signal. The dual-mode signals are directly proportional to the sulfadimethoxine concentration within the range 10- 3~10- 7 mg/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) of the assay is 0.023 ng/mL and 0.071 ng/mL for the fluorescent signal and the colorimetric signal, respectively. Moreover, the assay was successfully applied to determine sulfadimethoxine in silver carp, shrimp, and lamb samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
During biomedical applications, nanozymes, exhibiting enzyme-like characteristics, inevitably come into contact with biological fluids in living systems, leading to the formation of a protein corona on their surface. Although it is acknowledged that molecular adsorption can influence the catalytic activity of nanozymes, there is a dearth of understanding regarding the impact of the protein corona on nanozyme activity and its determinant factors. In order to address this gap, we employed the AuNR@Pt@PDDAC [PDDAC, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)] nanorod (NR) as a model nanozyme with multiple activities, including peroxidase, oxidase, and catalase-mimetic activities, to investigate the inhibitory effects of the protein corona on the catalytic activity. After the identification of major components in the plasma protein corona on the NR, we observed that spherical proteins and fibrous proteins induced distinct inhibitory effects on the catalytic activity of nanozymes. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we uncovered that the adsorbed proteins assembled on the surface of the nanozymes, forming protein networks (PNs). Notably, the PNs derived from fibrous proteins exhibited a screen mesh-like structure with smaller pore sizes compared to those formed by spherical proteins. This structural disparity resulted in a reduced efficiency for the permeation of substrate molecules, leading to a more robust inhibition in activity. These findings underscore the significance of the protein shape as a crucial factor influencing nanozyme activity. This revelation provides valuable insights for the rational design and application of nanozymes in the biomedical fields.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA), an essential neurotransmitter, is closely associated with various neurological disorders, whose real-time dynamic monitoring is significant for evaluating the physiological activities of neurons. Electrochemical sensing methods are commonly used to determine DA, but they mostly rely on the redox reaction of its o-phenolic hydroxyl group, which makes it difficult to distinguish it from substances with this group. Here, we design a biomimetic nanozyme inspired by the coordination structure of the copper-based active site of dopamine β-hydroxylase, which was successfully synthesized via a urea-mediated MOF pyrolysis reconstruction strategy. Experimental studies and theoretical calculations revealed that the nanozyme with Cu-N3 coordination could hydroxylate the carbon atom of the DA β-site at a suitable potential and that the active sites of this Cu-N3 structure have the lowest binding energy for the DA β-site. With this property, the new oxidation peak achieves the specific detection of DA rather than the traditional electrochemical signal of o-phenol hydroxyl redox, which would effectively differentiate it from neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine and epinephrine. The sensor exhibited good monitoring capability in DA concentrations from 0.05 to 16.7 μM, and its limit of detection was 0.03 μM. Finally, the sensor enables the monitoring of DA released from living cells and can be used to quantitatively analyze the effect of polystyrene microplastics on the amount of DA released. The research provides a method for highly specific monitoring of DA and technical support for initial screening for neurocytotoxicity of pollutants.

Abstract
Nanozymes have been widely used as enzyme substitutes. Based on a comprehensive literature survey of 261 publications, we report the significant differences in the Michaelis-Menten constants (Km) between peroxidase-mimicking nanozymes and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Further, these differences were not considered in more than 60% of the publications for analytical developments. As a result, nanozymes' catalytic activity is limited, resulting in a potentially higher limit of detection (LOD). We used a peroxidase-mimicking Au@Pt nanozyme, which has Km for TMB comparable with HRP and three orders of magnitude higher Km for H2O2. Using the Au@Pt nanozyme as a label for immunoassays, non-optimized nanozyme substrate concentrations led to 30 times higher LOD compared to optimized conditions. The results confirm the necessity of measuring nanozymes' kinetic parameters and the corresponding adjustment of substrate concentrations for highly sensitive detection.

Abstract
Transition metal doping is an ideal strategy to construct multifunctional and efficient nanozymes for biosensing. In this work, a metal-doped CoMnOx nanozyme was designed and synthesized by hydrothermal reaction and high-temperature calcination. Based on its oxidase activity, an "on-off-on" smartphone sensing platform was established to detect ziram and Cu2+. The obtained flower-shaped CoMnOx could exhibit oxidase-, catalase-, and laccase-like activities. The oxidase activity mechanism of CoMnOx was deeply explored. O2 molecules adsorbed on the surface of CoMnOx were activated to produce a large amount of O2·-, and then, O2·- could extract acidic hydrogen from TMB to produce blue oxTMB. Meanwhile, TMB was oxidized directly to the blue product oxTMB via the high redox ability of Co species. According to the excellent oxidase-like activity of CoMnOx, a versatile colorimetric detection platform for ziram and Cu2+ was successfully constructed. The linear detection ranges for ziram and Cu2+ were 5~280 μM and 80~360 μM, and the detection limits were 1.475 μM and 3.906 μM, respectively. In addition, a portable smartphone platform for ziram and Cu2+ sensing was established for instant analysis, showing great application promise in the detection of real samples including environmental soil and water.

Abstract
In this study, we have constructed a ratiometric fluorescence sensor for sensitive sensing of α-glucosidase activity based on WS2 QDs/ CoOOH nanosheet system. In this system, as an oxidase-imimicking nanomaterial, CoOOH nanosheet could convert o-phenylenediamine into 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP), which had a high fluorescence emission at 575 nm. The DAP subsequently could quench the fluorescence of WS2 QDs via the inner filter effect (IFE). L-Ascorbic acid-2-O-α-D-glucopyranose could be hydrolyzed by α-glucosidase to yield ascorbic acid. CoOOH nanosheet can be converted to Co2+ ions by ascorbic acid, leading to the fluorescence decrease of DAP and the fluorescence recovery of WS2 QDs. Therefore, a novel ratio fluorescence sensing strategy was established for α-glucosidase detection based on WS2 QDs/CoOOH nanosheet system. This WS2 QDs/CoOOH nanosheet system has a low detection limit of 0.009 U/mL for α-Glu assay. The proposed strategy succeeded in detecting α-Glu in human serum samples.

Abstract
The clinical application of oncology therapy is hampered by high glutathione concentrations, hypoxia, and inefficient activation of cell death mechanisms in cancer cells. In this study, Fe and Mo bimetallic sulfide nanomaterial (FeS2@MoS2) based on metal-organic framework structure is rationally prepared with peroxidase (POD)-, catalase (CAT)-, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities and glutathione depletion ability, which can confer versatility for treating tumors and mending wounds. In the lesion area, FeS2@MoS2 with SOD-like activity can facilitate the transformation of superoxide anions (O2 -) to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and then the resulting H2O2 serves as a substrate for the Fenton reaction with FMS to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (∙OH). Simultaneously, FeS2@MoS2 has an ability to deplete glutathione (GSH) and catalyze the decomposition of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to curb the regeneration of GSH from the source. Thus it can realize effective tumor elimination through synergistic apoptosis-ferroptosis strategy. Based on the alteration of the H2O2 system, free radical production, glutathione depletion and the alleviation of hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, FeS2@MoS2 NPS can not only significantly inhibit tumors in vivo and in vitro, but also inhibit multidrug-resistant bacteria and hasten wound healing. It may open the door to the development of cascade nanoplatforms for effective tumor treatment and overcoming wound infection.

Abstract
The peroxidase-like behaviors of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have the potential to the development of rapid and sensitive colorimetric assays for specific food ingredients and contaminants. Here, using NaBH4 as a reducing agent, AuNPs with a supramolecular macrocyclic compound β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) capped were synthesized under alkaline conditions. Monodispersal of β-CD@AuNPs possessed a reduction in diameter size and performed great peroxidase-like activities toward both substrates, H2O2 and TMB. In the presence of H2O2, the color change of TMB oxidization to oxTMB was well-achieved using β-CD@AuNPs as the catalyst, which was further employed to develop colorimetric assays for ascorbic acid, with a limit of detection as low as 0.2 μM in ddH2O. With the help of the host-guest interaction between β-CD and adamantane, AuNPs conjugated with nanobodies to exhibit peroxidase-like activities and specific recognition against Salmonella Typhimurium simultaneously. Based on this bifunctional bioprobe, a selective and sensitive one-step colorimetric assay for S. Typhimurium was developed with a linear detection from 8.3 × 104 to 2.6 × 108 CFU/mL and can be provided to spiked lettuce with acceptable recoveries of 97.31% to 103.29%. The results demonstrated that the excellent peroxidase-like behaviors of β-CD@AuNPs can be applied to develop a colorimetric sensing platform in the food industry.

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

Abstract
Multienzyme-like nanozymes are nanomaterials with multiple enzyme-like activities and are the focus of nanozyme research owing to their ability to facilitate cascaded reactions, leverage synergistic effects, and exhibit environmentally responsive selectivity. However, multienzyme-like nanozymes exhibit varying enzyme-like activities under different conditions, making them difficult to precisely regulate according to the design requirements. Moreover, individual enzyme-like activity in a multienzyme-like activity may accelerate, compete, or antagonize each other, rendering the overall activity a complex interplay of these factors rather than a simple sum of single enzyme-like activity. A theoretically guided strategy is highly desired to accelerate the design of multienzyme-like nanozymes. Herein, nanozyme information was collected from 4159 publications to build a nanozyme database covering element type, element ratio, chemical valence, shape, pH, etc. Based on the clustering correlation coefficients of the nanozyme information, the material features in distinct nanozyme classifications were reorganized to generate compositional factors for multienzyme-like nanozymes. Moreover, advanced methods were developed, including the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics method for analyzing the surface adsorption and binding energies of substrates, transition states, and products in the reaction pathways, along with machine learning algorithms to identify the optimal reaction pathway, to aid the evolutionary design of multienzyme-like nanozymes. This approach culminated in creating CuMnCo7O12, a highly active multienzyme-like nanozyme. This process is named the genetic-like evolutionary design of nanozymes because it resembles biological genetic evolution in nature and offers a feasible protocol and theoretical foundation for constructing multienzyme-like nanozymes.

Abstract
The iron nanozyme-based colorimetric method, which is widely applied for biosubstrate detection in in vitro diagnosis (IVD), faces some limitations. The optimal catalytic conditions of iron nanozymes necessitate a strong acidic environment, high temperature, and other restrictive factors; additionally, the colorimetric results are highly influenced by optical interferences. To address these challenges, iron nanozymes doped with various transition elements were efficiently prepared in this study, and notably, the manganese-modified one displayed a high catalytic activity owing to its electron transfer property. Furthermore, the introduction of lanthanide ions into the catalytic reactions, specifically the neodymium ion, significantly boosted the generation efficiency of hydroxyl radicals; importantly, this enhancement extended to a wide range of pH levels and temperatures, amplifying the detection signal. Moreover, the nanozyme's superparamagnetic characteristic was also employed to perform a logical optical and magnetic resonance dual-modality detection for substrates, effectively eliminating background optical interference and ensuring a reliable verification of the signal's authenticity. Based on this magnetic signal, the integration of natural glucose oxidase with the nanozyme resulted in a notable 61.5% increase in detection sensitivity, surpassing the capabilities of the traditional colorimetric approach. Consequently, the incorporation of lanthanide ions into the magnetic nanozyme enables the effective identification of physiological biomarkers through the dual-modality signal. This not only guarantees enhanced sensitivity but also demonstrates significant potential for future applications.

Design of a Zn-based nanozyme injectable multifunctional hydrogel with ROS scavenging activity for myocardial infarction therapy. Acta Biomater 2024; 177:62-76. [PMID: 38237713 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.01.015] [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: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
The existing strategies for myocardial infarction therapy mainly focus on reinstating myocardial blood supply, often disregarding the intrinsic and intricate microenvironment created by elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that accompanies myocardial infarction. This microenvironment entails cardiomyocytes apoptosis, substantial vascular cell death, excessive inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis. In such situation, the present study introduces a zinc-based nanozyme injectable multifunctional hydrogel, crafted from ZIF-8, to counteract ROS effects after myocardial infarction. The hydrogel exhibits both superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like and catalase (CAT)-like enzymatic activities, proficiently eliminating surplus ROS in the infarcted region and interrupting ROS-driven inflammatory cascades. Furthermore, the hydrogel's exceptional immunomodulatory ability spurs a notable transformation of macrophages into the M2 phenotype, effectively neutralizing inflammatory factors and indirectly fostering vascularization in the infarcted region. For high ROS and demanding for zinc of the infarcted microenvironment, the gradual release of zinc ions as the hydrogel degrades further enhances the bioactive and catalytic performance of the nanozymes, synergistically promoting cardiac function post myocardial infarction. In conclusion, this system of deploying catalytic nanomaterials within bioactive matrices for ROS-related ailment therapy not only establishes a robust foundation for biomedical material development, but also promises a holistic approach towards addressing myocardial infarction complexities. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Myocardial infarction remains the leading cause of death worldwide. However, the existing strategies for myocardial infarction therapy mainly focus on reinstating myocardial blood supply. These therapies often ignore the intrinsic and intricate microenvironment created by elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Hence, we designed an injectable Zn-Based nanozyme hydrogel with ROS scavenging activity for myocardial infarction therapy. ALG-(ZIF-8) can significantly reduce ROS in the infarcted area and alleviate the ensuing pathological process. ALG-(ZIF-8) gradually releases zinc ions to participate in the repair process and improves cardiac function. Overall, this multifunctional hydrogel equipped with ZIF-8 makes full use of the characteristics of clearing ROS and slowly releasing zinc ions, and we are the first to test the therapeutic efficacy of Zinc-MOFs crosslinked-alginate hydrogel for myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious clinical syndrome with high morbidity, elevated mortality, and poor prognosis, commonly considered a "sword of Damocles" for hospitalized patients, especially those in intensive care units. Oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, caused by the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), play a key role in AKI progression. Hence, the investigation of effective and safe antioxidants and inflammatory regulators to scavenge overexpressed ROS and regulate excessive inflammation has become a promising therapeutic option. However, the unique physiological structure and complex pathological alterations in the kidneys render traditional therapies ineffective, impeding the residence and efficacy of most antioxidant and anti-inflammatory small molecule drugs within the renal milieu. Recently, nanotherapeutic interventions have emerged as a promising and prospective strategy for AKI, overcoming traditional treatment dilemmas through alterations in size, shape, charge, and surface modifications. This Review succinctly summarizes the latest advancements in nanotherapeutic approaches for AKI, encompassing nanozymes, ROS scavenger nanomaterials, MSC-EVs, and nanomaterials loaded with antioxidants and inflammatory regulator. Following this, strategies aimed at enhancing biocompatibility and kidney targeting are introduced. Furthermore, a brief discussion on the current challenges and future prospects in this research field is presented, providing a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of nanotherapeutic interventions for AKI.

Abstract
Natural enzymes play an important role to support the regular life activities of the human body. However, the application conditions of natural enzymes are harsh and there are limitations in their use. As artificial enzymes, nanozymes possess the substrate specificity of natural enzymes. Due to the advantages of low cost, good stability and strong catalytic properties, nanozymes hold a wide range of applications in the fields of sensing, chemical, food and medicine. Some of the more common ones are noble metal nanozymes, metal oxide nanozymes and carbon-based nanozymes. Among them, metal oxide nanozymes have attracted much attention because of their decent fixity, exceedingly good physicochemical properties and other advantages. Today, malignant tumors pose a great danger to the human body and are a serious threat to human health. However, traditional treatments have more side effects, and finding new treatment modalities is particularly important for tumor treatment. For example, enzyme therapy can be used to catalyze reactions in the body to achieve tumor treatment. Nanozymes can exert enzymatic activity and effectively treat malignant tumors through catalysis and synergy, and have made certain progress. This paper reviews the detection and application of metal oxide nanozymes in tumor detection and treatment in recent years and provides an outlook on their future application and development.

Abstract
Identifying the underlying catalytic mechanisms of synthetic nanocatalysts or nanozymes is important in directing their design and applications. Herein, we revisited the oxidation process of 4,4'-diamino-3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbiphenyl (TMB) by Mn3O4 nanoparticles and revealed that it adopted an organic acid/aldehyde-triggered catalytic mechanism at a weakly acidic or neutral pH, which is O2-independent and inhibited by the pre-addition of H2O2. Importantly, similar organic acid/aldehyde-mediated oxidation was applied to other substrates of peroxidase in the presence of nanoparticulate or commercially available MnO2 and Mn2O3 but not MnO. The selective oxidation of TMB by Mn3O4 over MnO was further supported by density functional theory calculations. Moreover, Mn3O4 nanoparticles enabled the oxidation of indole 3-acetic acid, a substrate that can generate cytotoxic singlet oxygen upon single-electron transfer oxidation, displaying potential in nanocatalytic tumor therapy. Overall, we revealed a general catalytic mechanism of manganese oxides towards the oxidation of peroxidase substrates, which could boost the design and various applications of these manganese-based nanoparticles.

Abstract
Inflammatory skin disorders can cause chronic scarring and functional impairments, posing a significant burden on patients and the healthcare system. Conventional therapies, such as corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are limited in efficacy and associated with adverse effects. Recently, nanozyme (NZ)-based hydrogels have shown great promise in addressing these challenges. NZ-based hydrogels possess unique therapeutic abilities by combining the therapeutic benefits of redox nanomaterials with enzymatic activity and the water-retaining capacity of hydrogels. The multifaceted therapeutic effects of these hydrogels include scavenging reactive oxygen species and other inflammatory mediators modulating immune responses toward a pro-regenerative environment and enhancing regenerative potential by triggering cell migration and differentiation. This review highlights the current state of the art in NZ-engineered hydrogels (NZ@hydrogels) for anti-inflammatory and skin regeneration applications. It also discusses the underlying chemo-mechano-biological mechanisms behind their effectiveness. Additionally, the challenges and future directions in this ground, particularly their clinical translation, are addressed. The insights provided in this review can aid in the design and engineering of novel NZ-based hydrogels, offering new possibilities for targeted and personalized skin-care therapies.

Abstract
The biotoxicity and chemotherapeutic resistance of cisplatin (CDDP) pose a challenge for tumor therapy. Practically, the change in the therapeutic response of tumor from resistance to sensitivity are impressive but challenging. To this end, we propose a strategy of "one stone, three birds" by designing a CuPt nanoalloy to simultaneously eliminate GSH, relieve hypoxia, and promote ROS production for effectively reversing the platinum (IV) (Pt(IV), (c,c,t-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2(OOCCH2CH2COOH)2)) resistance. Notably, the CuPt nanoalloy exhibits ternary catalytic capabilities including mimicking GSH oxidase, catalase and peroxidase. With the subsequent disguise of tumor cell membrane, the CuPt nanoalloy is conferred with homologous targeting ability, making it actively recognize tumor cells and then effectively internalized by tumor cells. Upon entering tumor cell, it gives rise to GSH depletion, hypoxia relief, and oxidative stress enhancement by catalyzing the reaction of GSH and H2O2, which mitigates the vicious milieu and ultimately reinforces the tumor response to Pt(IV) treatment. In vivo results prove that combination therapy of mCuPt and Pt(IV) realizes the most significant suppression on A549 cisplatin-resistant tumor. This study provides a potential strategy to design novel nanozyme for conquering resistant tumor.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with enzyme-mimicking functions, termed nanozymes, offer attractive opportunities for biocatalysis and biomedicine. However, manipulating nanozyme selectivity poses an insurmountable hurdle. Here, we propose the concept of an energy-governed electron lock that controls electron transfer between nanozyme and substrates to achieve selectivity manipulation of enzyme-like catalysis. An electron lock can be constructed and opened, via modulating the nanozyme's electron energy to match the energy barrier of enzymatic reactions. An iron-doped carbon dot (FeCD) nanozyme with easy-to-regulate electron energy is selected as a proof of concept. Through regulating the conduction band which dominates electron energy, activatable oxidase and selective peroxidase (POD) with substrate affinity 123-fold higher than that of natural horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is achieved. Furthermore, while maintaining selectivity, FeCDs exhibit catalytic kinetics comparable to that of HRP upon transforming photons into electrons. Superior selectivity, efficient catalysis, and undetectable biotoxicity energize FeCDs as potent targeted drugs on antibiotic-resistant bacterial abscesses. An electron lock provides a robust strategy to manipulate selectivity toward advanced nanozymes.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:268. [PMID: 38334538 PMCID: PMC10856399 DOI: 10.3390/nano14030268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Recently, silica nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted considerable attention as biocompatible and stable templates for embedding noble metals. Noble-metal-embedded silica NPs utilize the exceptional optical properties of novel metals while overcoming the limitations of individual novel metal NPs. In addition, the structure of metal-embedded silica NPs decorated with small metal NPs around the silica core results in strong signal enhancement in localized surface plasmon resonance and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. This review summarizes recent studies on metal-embedded silica NPs, focusing on their unique designs and applications. The characteristics of the metal-embedded silica NPs depend on the type and structure of the embedded metals. Based on this progress, metal-embedded silica NPs are currently utilized in various spectroscopic applications, serving as nanozymes, detection and imaging probes, drug carriers, photothermal inducers, and bioactivation molecule screening identifiers. Owing to their versatile roles, metal-embedded silica NPs are expected to be applied in various fields, such as biology and medicine, in the future.

Abstract
In this work, we successfully constructed Mn-coordinated nitrogen-carbon nanoparticles (Mn-N-C NPs) exhibiting multienzyme-like activities. In a bacterial infectious microenvironment, the POD-like and OXD-like activities of Mn-N-C NPs could synergistically trigger the generation of ROS (˙OH and O2˙-), causing oxidative damage to the bacterial cell membrane for killing bacteria. Alternatively, in neutral or weak alkaline normal tissues, the excessive O2˙- could be converted into O2 and H2O2via the SOD-like ability of Mn-N-C NPs, and subsequently their CAT-like activity catalyzed excess H2O2 into H2O and O2 for protecting normal cells through the antioxidant defense. Mn-N-C NPs also possessed a good NIR-photothermal performance, which could enhance their POD-like and OXD-like activities. Furthermore, Mn-N-C NPs could facilitate the GSH oxidation process and disrupt the intrinsic balance in the bacterial protection microenvironment with the assistance of H2O2, which is beneficial for rapid bacterial death. Undoubtedly, the Mn-N-C NPs + H2O2 system showed the highest antibacterial activity when irradiated with an 808 nm laser, destroying the bacterial membrane and causing the efflux of proteins. Moreover, the Mn-N-C NPs + H2O2 system was immune to the development of bacterial resistance and could efficiently disrupt the formation of a bacterial biofilm with negligible cytotoxicity and low hemolysis ratio. Finally, Mn-N-C NPs exhibited an excellent antibacterial performance in vivo and could accelerate wound healing without cellular inflammation production. Therefore, due to their significant therapeutic effects, Mn-N-C NPs show great potential in fighting antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas (CRISPR associated) system has proven to be a powerful tool for nucleic acid detection due to its inherent advantages of effective nucleic acid identification and editing capabilities, and is therefore known as the next-generation of molecular diagnostic technology. However, the detection technologies based on CRISPR/Cas systems require preamplification of target analytes; that is, target gene amplification steps through isothermal amplification or PCR before detection to increase target analyte concentrations. This creates a number of testing limitations, such as extended testing time and the need for more sophisticated testing instruments. To overcome the above limitations, various amplification-free assay strategies based on CRISPR/Cas systems have been explored as alternatives, which omit the preamplification step to increase the concentrations of the target analytes. Nanozymes play a pivotal role in enhancing the sensitivity of CRISPR-based detection, enabling visual and rapid CRISPR assays. The utilization of nanozyme exceptional enzyme-like catalytic activity holds great promise for signal amplification in both electrochemical and optical domains, encompassing strategies for electrochemical signal sensors and colorimetric signal sensors. Rather than relying on converting a single detection target analyte into multiple analytes, these methods focus on signal amplification, the main mechanism of which involves the ability to form a large number of reporter molecules or to improve the performance of the sensor. This exploitation of nanozymes for signal amplification results in the heightened sensitivity and accuracy of detection outcomes. In addition to the strategies that improve sensor performance through the application of nanozymes, additional methods are needed to achieve visual signal amplification strategies without preamplification processes. Herein, we review the strategies for improving CRISPR/Cas systems that do not require preamplification, providing a simple, intuitive and preamplification-free CRISPR/Cas system detection platform by improving in-system one-step amplification programs, or enhancing nanozyme-mediated signal amplification strategies.

Abstract
Hypoxia in chronic wounds impairs the activities of reparative cells, resulting in tissue necrosis, bacterial infections, decreased angiogenesis, and delayed wound healing. To achieve effective oxygenation therapy and restore oxygen homeostasis, oxygen-generating hydrogels based on different oxygen sources have been developed to release dissolved oxygen in the wound bed, which not only alleviate hypoxia, but also accelerate chronic wound healing. This review first discusses the vital role of oxygen and hypoxia in the wound healing process. The advancements in oxygen-generating hydrogels, which produce oxygen through the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, metal peroxides, glucose-activated cascade reactions, and photosynthesis of algae microorganisms for chronic wound healing, are discussed and summarized. The therapeutic effects and challenges of using oxygen-generating hydrogels for the clinical treatment of chronic wounds are concluded and prospected.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are dangerous human and animal health-threatening secondary fungal metabolites that can be found in various food and agricultural products. Several countries have established regulations to restrict their presence in food and agricultural products destined for human and animal consumption. Consequently, the need to develop highly sensitive and smart detection systems was recognized worldwide. Lateral flow assay possesses the advantages of easy operation, rapidity, stability, accuracy, and specificity, and it plays an important role in the detection of mycotoxins. Nevertheless, strategies to comprehensively improve the sensitivity of lateral flow assay to mycotoxins in food have rarely been highlighted and discussed. In this article, a comprehensive overview was presented on the application of lateral flow assay in mycotoxin detection in food samples by highlighting the principle of lateral flow assay, presenting a detailed discussion on various analytical performance-improvement strategies, such as the development of high-affinity recognition reagents, immunogen immobilization methods, and signal amplification. Additionally, a detailed discussion on the various signal analyzers and interpretation approaches was provided. Finally, current hurdles and future perspectives on the application of lateral flow assay in the detection of mycotoxins were discussed.

Abstract
Development of high-precision human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) assay is essential for the early diagnostic and prevention of breast cancer. In this work, an innovative Fe/Mn bimetallic nanozyme at the edge of N-doped carbon defects (FeMn-NCedge) with abundant active sites was prepared through the hydrothermal synthetic method. FeMn-NCedge nanozyme displayed excellent peroxidase-like activity relative to the H2O2-catalyzed 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) system for generation of the oxidized TMB (oxTMB). As a proof-of-concept application, we constructed an electrochemical immunoassay for the detection of HER2 based on the unique merits of FeMn-NCedge. Initially, a sandwiched immunoreaction was carried out in the microtiter plate coated with monoclonal anti-HER2 capture antibodies using glucose oxidase (GOx)-labeled anti-HER2 as detection antibody. The carried GOx could catalyze glucose to produce H2O2, thus resulting in the formation of oxTMB with the assistance of TMB and FeMn-NCedge nanozyme. The produced oxTMB could be determined on the electrode by the chronoamperometry at an applied potential of +10 mV. Experimental results revealed that the steady-state current increased with the increasing HER2 concentration in the sample, and gave a good linear relationship within the dynamic range of 0.01-10 ng/mL at a limit of detection of 5.4 pg/mL HER2. In addition, good reproducibility, high specificity and acceptable accuracy were acquired for the measurement of human serum samples. Importantly, this method can be extended for quantitative monitoring other disease-related proteins by changing the corresponding antibodies.

Abstract
The need exists for biosensing technologies capable of sensitively and accurately detecting various biomarkers. In response, the development of nanozymes is actively underway; they have advantages in stability, cost, performance, and functionalization over natural enzymes commonly used for signal amplification in sensing technologies. However, the performance of nanozymes is interdependent with factors such as shape, size, and surface functional moiety, making it challenging to perform quantitative performance comparisons based on the nanozyme material. In this study, we propose a physical synthetic approach to fabricate double-layered bimetallic nanozymes with identical shapes, sizes, and surfaces but different material compositions. These Janus nanozymes consist of a nanozymatic layer responsible for catalytic activity and a gold layer responsible for quantification and efficient surface modification. Based on their identical physicochemical properties, the synthesized double-layered bimetallic nanozymes allow, for the first time, a quantitative comparison of nanozymatic activities in terms of various kinetic parameters. We compared several candidates and found that the Ir-Au nanozyme exhibited the best performance. Subsequently, we applied this nanozyme to detect neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 based on a surrogate virus neutralization test. The results demonstrated a limit of detection as low as 2 pg/mL and selectivity specifically toward MERS-CoV. The performance of this assay was further validated using vaccinated samples, demonstrating the potential of our approach as a cost-effective, rapid, and sensitive diagnostic tool for neutralizing antibody detection against viruses such as SARS-CoV-2.

Optimizing the Composition of the Substrate Enhances the Performance of Peroxidase-like Nanozymes in Colorimetric Assays: A Case Study of Prussian Blue and 3,3'-Diaminobenzidine. Molecules 2023; 28:7622. [PMID: 38005344 PMCID: PMC10674554 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28227622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
One of the emerging trends in modern analytical and bioanalytical chemistry involves the substitution of enzyme labels (such as horseradish peroxidase) with nanozymes (nanoparticles possessing enzyme-like catalytic activity). Since enzymes and nanozymes typically operate through different catalytic mechanisms, it is expected that optimal reaction conditions will also differ. The optimization of substrates for nanozymes usually focuses on determining the ideal pH and temperature. However, in some cases, even this step is overlooked, and commercial substrate formulations designed for enzymes are utilized. This paper demonstrates that not only the pH but also the composition of the substrate buffer, including the buffer species and additives, significantly impact the analytical signal generated by nanozymes. The presence of enhancers such as imidazole in commercial substrates diminishes the catalytic activity of nanozymes, which is demonstrated herein through the use of 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and Prussian Blue as a model chromogenic substrate and nanozyme. Conversely, a simple modification to the substrate buffer greatly enhances the performance of nanozymes. Specifically, in this paper, it is demonstrated that buffers such as citrate, MES, HEPES, and TRIS, containing 1.5-2 M NaCl or NH4Cl, substantially increase DAB oxidation by Prussian Blue and yield a higher signal compared to commercial DAB formulations. The central message of this paper is that the optimization of substrate composition should be an integral step in the development of nanozyme-based assays. Herein, a step-by-step optimization of the DAB substrate composition for Prussian Blue nanozymes is presented. The optimized substrate outperforms commercial formulations in terms of efficiency. The effectiveness of the optimized DAB substrate is affirmed through its application in several commonly used immunostaining techniques, including tissue staining, Western blotting assays of immunoglobulins, and dot blot assays of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
The rational design of efficient nanozymes and the immobilization of enzymes are of great significance for the construction of high-performance biosensors based on nano-/bioenzyme catalytic systems. Herein, a novel V-TCPP(Fe) metal-organic framework nanozyme with a two-dimensional nanosheet morphology is rationally designed by using V2CTx MXene as a metal source and iron tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (FeTCPP) ligand as an organic linker. It exhibits enhanced peroxidase- and catalase-like activities and luminol-H2O2 chemiluminescent (CL) behavior. Based on the experimental and theoretical results, these excellent enzyme-like activities are derived from the two-site synergistic effect between V nodes and FeTCPP ligands in V-TCPP(Fe). Furthermore, a confined catalytic system is developed by zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) coencapsulation of the V-TCPP(Fe) nanozyme and bioenzyme. Using the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as a model, our constructed V-TCPP(Fe)/AChE@ZIF confined catalytic system was successfully used for the colorimetric/CL dual-mode visual biosensing of organophosphorus pesticides. This work is expected to provide new insights into the design of efficient nanozymes and confined catalytic systems, encouraging applications in catalysis and biosensing.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2303299. [PMID: 37459592 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202303299] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
Restoring joint homeostasis is crucial for relieving osteoarthritis (OA). Current strategies are limited to unilateral efforts in joint lubrication, inhibition of inflammation, free radicals scavenging, and cartilage regeneration. Herein, by modifying molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) with Mg2+ -doped polydopamine and coating with polysulfobetaines, a dual-bionic photothermal nanozyme (MPMP) is constructed to mimic antioxidases/hyaluronan synthase for OA therapy. Photothermally enhanced lubrication lowers the coefficient of friction (0.028) in the early stage of OA treatment. The antioxidases-mimicking properties of MPMP nanozyme contribute to eliminating reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) (over 90% of scavenging ratio for H2 O2 /·OH/O· 2 - /DPPH/ABTS+ ) and supplying O2 . With NIR irradiation, the MPMP nanozyme triggers thermogenesis (upregulating HSP70 expression) and Mg2+ release, which promotes the chondrogenesis in inflammatory conditions by deactivating NF-κB/IL-17 signaling pathways and enhancing MAPK signaling pathway. Benefiting from HSP70 and Mg2+ , MPMP-NIR shows HAS-mimicking activity to increase the intracellular (twofold) and extracellular (3.12-fold) HA production. Therefore, MPMP-NIR demonstrates superior spatiotemporally therapeutic effect on OA in mice model, in terms of osteophytes (83.41% of reduction), OARSI scores (88.57% of reduction), and ACAN expression (2.70-fold of increment). Hence, insights into dual-bionic nanozymes can be a promising strategy for OA therapy or other inflammation-related diseases.
