GSH-responsive polymeric micelles-based augmented photoimmunotherapy synergized with PD-1 blockade for eliciting robust antitumor immunity against colon tumor. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:542. [PMID: 39238020 PMCID: PMC11378416 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02813-w] [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: 07/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Phototherapy is a promising antitumor modality, which consists of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, the efficacy of phototherapy is dramatically hampered by local hypoxia in tumors, overexpression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) on tumor cells. To address these issues, self-assembled multifunctional polymeric micelles (RIMNA) were developed to co-deliver photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG), oxygenator MnO2, IDO inhibitor NLG919, and toll-like receptor 4 agonist monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA). It is worth noting that RIMNA polymeric micelles had good stability, uniform morphology, superior biocompatibility, and intensified PTT/PDT effect. What's more, RIMNA-mediated IDO inhibition combined with programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 blockade considerably improved immunosuppression and promoted immune activation. RIMNA-based photoimmunotherapy synergized with PD-1 antibody could remarkably inhibit primary tumor proliferation, as well as stimulate the immunity to greatly suppress lung metastasis and distant tumor growth. This study offers an efficient method to reinforce the efficacy of phototherapy and alleviate immunosuppression, thereby bringing clinical benefits to cancer treatment.

Abstract
Cancer is a profoundly dynamic, heterogeneous and aggressive systemic ailment, with a coordinated evolution of various types of tumor niches. Hypoxia plays an indispensable role in the tumor micro-ecosystem, drastically enhancing the plasticity of cancer cells, fibroblasts and immune cells and orchestrating intercellular communication. Hypoxia-induced signals, particularly hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), drive the reprogramming of genetic, transcriptional, and proteomic profiles. This leads to a spectrum of interconnected processes, including augmented survival of cancer cells, evasion of immune surveillance, metabolic reprogramming, remodeling of the extracellular matrix, and the development of resistance to conventional therapeutic modalities like radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Here, we summarize the latest research on the multifaceted effects of hypoxia, where a multitude of cellular and non-cellular elements crosstalk with each other and co-evolve in a synergistic manner. Additionally, we investigate therapeutic approaches targeting hypoxic niche, encompassing hypoxia-activated prodrugs, HIF inhibitors, nanomedicines, and combination therapies. Finally, we discuss some of the issues to be addressed and highlight the potential of emerging technologies in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is approved for the treatment of certain cancers and precancer lesions. While early Photosensitizers (PS) have found their way to the clinic, research in the last two decades has led to the development of third-generation PS, including photodynamic nanomedicine for improved tumor delivery and minimal systemic or phototoxicity. In terms of nanoparticle design for PDT, we are witnessing a shift from passive to active delivery for improved outcomes with reduced PS dosage. Tumor microenvironment (TME) comprises of a complex and dynamic landscape with myriad potential targets for photodynamic nanocarriers that are surface-modified with ligands. Herein, we review ways to improvise PDT by actively targeting nanoparticles (NPs) to intracellular organelles such as mitochondria or lysosomes and so forth, overcoming the limitations caused by PDT-induced hypoxia, disrupting the blood vascular networks in tumor tissues-vascular targeted PDT (VTP) and targeting immune cells for photoimmunotherapy. We propose that a synergistic outlook will help to address challenges such as deep-seated tumors, metastasis, or relapse and would lead to robust PDT response in patients.

Abstract
In oxygen (O2)-dependent photodynamic therapy (PDT), photosensitizers absorb light energy, which is then transferred to ambient O2 and subsequently generates cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2). Therefore, the availability of O2 and the utilization efficiency of generated 1O2 are two significant factors that influence the effectiveness of PDT. However, tumor microenvironments (TMEs) characterized by hypoxia and limited utilization efficiency of 1O2 resulting from its short half-life and short diffusion distance significantly restrict the applicability of PDT for hypoxic tumors. To address these challenges, numerous macromolecular nano-assemblies (MNAs) have been designed to relieve hypoxia, utilize hypoxia or enhance the utilization efficiency of 1O2. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review on recent advancements achieved with MNAs in enhancing the effectiveness of O2-dependent PDT against hypoxic tumors.

Light-Activated In Situ Vaccine with Enhanced Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Infiltration and Function for Potent Cancer Immunotherapy. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024:e2403158.

Abstract
In situ cancer vaccination is an attractive strategy that stimulates protective antitumor immunity. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are major mediators of the adaptive immune defenses, with critical roles in antitumor immune response and establishing immune memory, and are consequently extremely important for in situ vaccines to generate systemic and lasting antitumor efficacy. However, the dense extracellular matrix and hypoxia in solid tumors severely impede the infiltration and function of CTLs, ultimately compromising the efficacy of in situ cancer vaccines. To address this issue, a robust in situ cancer vaccine, Au@MnO2 nanoparticles (AMOPs), based on a gold nanoparticle core coated with a manganese dioxide shell is developed. The AMOPs modulated the unfavorable tumor microenvironment (TME) to restore CTLs infiltration and function and efficiently induced immunogenic cell death. The Mn2+-mediated stimulator of the interferon genes pathway can be activated to further augment the therapeutic efficacy of the AMOPs. Thus, the AMOPs vaccine successfully elicited long-lasting antitumor immunity to considerably inhibit primary, recurrent, and metastatic tumors. This study not only highlights the importance of revitalizing CTLs efficacy against solid tumors but also makes progress toward overcoming TME barriers for sustained antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Aggressive nature of colon cancer and current imprecise therapeutic scenarios simulate the development of precise and effective treatment strategies. To achieve this, a tumor environment-activated photosensitized biomimetic nanoplatform (PEG2000-SiNcTI-Ph/CpG-ZIF-8@CM) is fabricated by encapsulating metal-organic framework loaded with developed photosensitizer PEG2000-SiNcTI-Ph and immunoadjuvant CpG oligodeoxynucleotide within fusion cell membrane expressing programmed death protein 1 (PD-1) and cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47). By stumbling across, systematic evaluation, and deciphering with quantum chemical calculations, a unique attribute of tumor environment (low pH plus high concentrations of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP))-activated photodynamic effect sensitized by long-wavelength photons is validated for PEG2000-SiNcTI-Ph/CpG-ZIF-8@CM, advancing the precision of cancer therapy. Moreover, PEG2000-SiNcTI-Ph/CpG-ZIF-8@CM evades immune surveillance to target CT26 colon tumors in mice mediated by CD47/signal regulatory proteins α (SIRPα) interaction and PD-1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) interaction, respectively. Tumor environment-activated photodynamic therapy realized by PEG2000-SiNcTI-Ph/CpG-ZIF-8@CM induces immunogenic cell death (ICD) to elicit anti-tumor immune response, which is empowered by enhanced dendritic cells (DC) uptake of CpG and PD-L1 blockade contributed by the nanoplatform. The photodynamic immunotherapy efficiently combats primary and distant CT26 tumors, and additionally generates immune memory to inhibit tumor recurrence and metastasis. The nanoplatform developed here provides insights for the development of precise cancer therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Tumor-specific activatable long-wavelength (LW) photosensitizers (PSs) show promise in overcoming the limitations of traditional photodynamic therapy (PDT), such as systemic phototoxicity and shallow tissue penetration. However, their insufficient LW light absorption and low singlet oxygen quantum yield (Φ 1O2) usually require high laser power density to produce thermal energy and synergistically enhance PDT. The strong photothermal radiation causing acute pain significantly reduces patient compliance and hinders the broader clinical application of LW PDT. Through the exciton dynamics dissection strategy, we have developed a series of pH-activatable cyanine-based LW PSs (LET-R, R = H, Cl, Br, I), among which the activated LET-I exhibits strong light absorption at 808 nm and a remarkable 3.2-fold enhancement in Φ 1O2 compared to indocyanine green. Transient spectroscopic analysis and theoretical calculations confirmed its significantly promoted intersystem crossing and simultaneously enhanced LW fluorescence emission characteristics. These features enable the activatable fluorescence and photoacoustic dual-modal imaging-escorted complete photodynamic eradication of tumors by the folic acid (FA)-modified LET-I probe (LET-I-FA), under the ultralow 808 nm laser power density (0.2 W cm-2) for irradiation, without the need for photothermal energy synergy. This research presents a novel strategy of dissecting exciton dynamics to screen activatable LW PSs for traceable PDT.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) continues to encounter multifarious hurdles, stemming from the ineffectual preservation and delivery system of photosensitizers, the dearth of imaging navigation, and the antioxidant/hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Herein, a versatile cryomicroneedle patch (denoted as CMN-CCPH) is developed for traceable PDT. The therapeutic efficacy is further amplified by catalase (CAT)-induced oxygen (O2) generation and Cu2+-mediated glutathione (GSH) depletion. The CMN-CCPH is composed of cryomicroneedle (CMN) as the vehicle and CAT-biomineralized copper phosphate nanoflowers (CCP NFs) loaded with hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) as the payload. Importantly, the bioactive function of HMME and CAT can be optimally maintained under the protection of CCPH and CMN for a duration surpassing 60 days, leading to bolstered bioavailability and notable enhancements in PDT efficacy. The in vivo visualization of HMME and oxyhemoglobin saturation (sO2) monitored by fluorescence (FL)/photoacoustic (PA) duplex real-time imaging unveils the noteworthy implications of CMN-delivered CCPH for intratumoral enrichment of HMME and O2 with reduced systemic toxicity. This versatile CMN patch demonstrates distinct effectiveness in neoplasm elimination, underscoring its promising clinical prospects.

Abstract
Immune evasion contributes to cancer growth and progression. Cancer cells have the ability to activate different immune checkpoint pathways that harbor immunosuppressive functions. The programmed death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligands (PD-Ls) are considered to be the major immune checkpoint molecules. The interaction of PD-1 and PD-L1 negatively regulates adaptive immune response mainly by inhibiting the activity of effector T cells while enhancing the function of immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs), largely contributing to the maintenance of immune homeostasis that prevents dysregulated immunity and harmful immune responses. However, cancer cells exploit the PD-1/PD-L1 axis to cause immune escape in cancer development and progression. Blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 by neutralizing antibodies restores T cells activity and enhances anti-tumor immunity, achieving remarkable success in cancer therapy. Therefore, the regulatory mechanisms of PD-1/PD-L1 in cancers have attracted an increasing attention. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the roles of the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling in human autoimmune diseases and cancers. We summarize all aspects of regulatory mechanisms underlying the expression and activity of PD-1 and PD-L1 in cancers, including genetic, epigenetic, post-transcriptional and post-translational regulatory mechanisms. In addition, we further summarize the progress in clinical research on the antitumor effects of targeting PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies alone and in combination with other therapeutic approaches, providing new strategies for finding new tumor markers and developing combined therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
The discovery of immune checkpoint (IC) has led to a wave of leap forward in cancer immunotherapy that represents probably the most promising strategy for cancer therapy. However, the clinical use of immune checkpoint block (ICB) therapy is limited by response rates and side effects. A strategy that addresses the limitations of ICB therapies through combination therapies, using nanocarriers as mediators, has been mentioned in numerous research papers. Liposomes have been probably one of the most extensively used nanocarriers for clinical applications, with broad drug delivery and high safety. A timely review on this hot subject of research, i.e., the application of liposomes for ICB, is thus highly desirable for both fundamental and clinical translatable studies, but remains, to our knowledge, unexplored so far. For this purpose, this review is composed to address the dilemma of ICB therapy and the reasons for this dilemma. We later describe how other cancer treatments have broken this dilemma. Finally, we focus on the role of liposomes in various combinatory cancer therapy. This review is believed to serve as a guidance for the rational design and development of liposome for immunotherapy with enhanced therapeutic efficiency.

Abstract
For tumor treatment, the ultimate goal in tumor therapy is to eliminate the primary tumor, manage potential metastases, and trigger an antitumor immune response, resulting in the complete clearance of all malignant cells. Tumor microenvironment (TME) refers to the local biological environment of solid tumors and has increasingly become an attractive target for cancer therapy. Neutrophils within TME of gastric cancer (GC) spontaneously undergo ferroptosis, and this process releases oxidized lipids that limit T cell activity. Enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated by di-iodinated IR780 (Icy7) significantly increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Meanwhile, neutrophil ferroptosis can be triggered by increased ROS generation in the TME. In this study, a liposome encapsulating both ferroptosis inhibitor Liproxstatin-1 and modified photosensitizer Icy7, denoted LLI, significantly inhibits tumor growth of GC. LLI internalizes into MFC cells to generate ROS causing immunogenic cell death (ICD). Simultaneously, liposome-deliver Liproxstatin-1 effectively inhibits the ferroptosis of tumor neutrophils. LLI-based immunogenic PDT and neutrophil-targeting immunotherapy synergistically boost the anti-PD-1 treatment to elicit potent TME and systemic antitumor immune response with abscopal effects. In conclusion, LLI holds great potential for GC immunotherapy.

Abstract
Despite the fact that immunotherapy has significantly improved the prognosis of melanoma patients, the non-response rate of monoimmunotherapy is considerably high due to insufficient tumor immunogenicity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop alternative methods of combination therapy with enhanced antitumor efficiency and less systemic toxicity. In this study, we reported a cancer cell membrane-coated zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) encapsulating pyroptosis-inducer oxaliplatin (OXA) and immunomodulator imiquimod (R837) for chemoimmunotherapy. With the assistance of DNA methyltransferase inhibitor decitabine (DCT), upregulated Gasdermin E (GSDME) was cleaved by OXA-activated caspase-3, further inducing tumor cell pyroptosis, then localized antitumor immunity was enhanced by immune adjuvant R837, followed by triggering systemic antitumor immune responses. These results provided a proof-of-concept for the use of cell membrane-coated biomimetic nanoparticles as a promising drug carrier of combination therapy and a potential insight for pyroptosis-based melanoma chemo-immunotherapy.

Abstract
Nanovesicles (NVs) are widely used in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases due to their excellent vascular permeability, good biocompatibility, high loading capacity, and easy functionalization. However, their yield and in vivo penetration depth limitations and their complex preparation processes still constrain their application and development. Ultrasound, as a fundamental external stimulus with deep tissue penetration, concentrated energy sources, and good safety, has been proven to be a patient-friendly and highly efficient strategy to overcome the restrictions of traditional clinical medicine. Recent research has shown that ultrasound can drive the generation of NVs, increase their yield, simplify their preparation process, and provide direct therapeutic effects and intelligent control to enhance the therapeutic effect of NVs. In addition, NVs, as excellent drug carriers, can enhance the targeting efficiency of ultrasound-based sonodynamic therapy or sonogenetic regulation and improve the accuracy of ultrasound imaging. This review provides a detailed introduction to the classification, generation, and modification strategies of NVs, emphasizing the impact of ultrasound on the formation of NVs and summarizing the enhanced treatment and diagnostic effects of NVs combined with ultrasound for various diseases.

Abstract
We report here a tumor-pretargted theranostic approach for multimodality imaging-guided synergistic cancer PDT by cascade alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-mediated in situ self-assembly and bioorthogonal inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction. Using the enzymatic catalysis of ALP that continuously catalyses the dephosphorylation and self-assembly of trans-cyclooctene (TCO)-bearing P-FFGd-TCO, a high density of fluorescent and magnetic TCO-containing nanoparticles (FMNPs-TCO) can be synthesized and retained on the membrane of tumor cells. They can act as 'artificial antigens' amenable to concurrently capture lately administrated tetrazine (Tz)-decorated PS (775NP-Tz) and carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitor (SA-Tz) via the fast IEDDA reaction. This two-step pretargeting process can further induce FMNPs-TCO regrowth into microparticles (FMNPs-775/SA) directly on tumor cell membranes, which is analyzed by bio-SEM and fluorescence imaging. Thus, efficient enrichment of both SA-Tz and 775NP-Tz in tumors can be achieved, allowing to alleviate hypoxia by continuously inhibiting CA activity and improving PDT of tumors. Findings show that subcutaneous HeLa tumors could be completely eradicated and no tumor recurred after irradiation with an 808 nm laser (0.33 W cm-2 , 10 min). This pretargeted approach may be applied to enrich other therapeutic agents in tumors to improve targeted therapy.

Abstract
With the development of nanotechnology, nanoparticles (NPs) have shown broad prospects as drug delivery vehicles. However, they exhibit certain limitations, including low biocompatibility, poor physiological stability, rapid clearance from the body, and nonspecific targeting, which have hampered their clinical application. Therefore, the development of novel drug delivery systems with improved biocompatibility and high target specificity remains a major challenge. In recent years, biofilm mediated biomimetic nano-drug delivery system (BNDDS) has become a research hotspot focus in the field of life sciences. This new biomimetic platform uses bio-nanotechnology to encapsulate synthetic NPswithin biomimetic membrane, organically integrating the low immunogenicity, low toxicity, high tumor targeting, good biocompatibility of the biofilm with the adjustability and versatility of the nanocarrier, and shows promising applications in the field of precision tumor therapy. In this review, we systematically summarize the new progress in BNDDS used for optimizing drug delivery, providing a theoretical reference for optimizing drug delivery and designing safe and efficient treatment strategies to improve tumor treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Phototherapy, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), has been considered an elegant solution to eradicate tumors due to its minimal invasiveness and low systemic toxicity. Nevertheless, it is still challenging for phototherapy to achieve ideal outcomes and clinical translation due to its inherent drawbacks. Owing to the unique biological functions, diverse gases have attracted growing attention in combining with phototherapy to achieve super-additive therapeutic effects. Specifically, gases such as nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been proven to kill tumor cells by inducing mitochondrial damage in synergy with phototherapy. Additionally, several gases not only enhance the thermal damage in PTT and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in PDT but also improve the tumor accumulation of photoactive agents. The inflammatory responses triggered by hyperthermia in PTT are also suppressed by the combination of gases. Herein, we comprehensively review the latest studies on gas-synergized phototherapy for cancer therapy, including (1) synergistic mechanisms of combining gases with phototherapy; (2) design of nanoplatforms for gas-synergized phototherapy; (3) multimodal therapy based on gas-synergized phototherapy; (4) imaging-guided gas-synergized phototherapy. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities of gas-synergized phototherapy for tumor treatment are discussed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1. The novelty and significance of the work with respect to the existing literature. (1) Strategies to design nanoplatforms for gas-synergized anti-tumor phototherapy have been summarized for the first time. Meanwhile, the integration of various imaging technologies and therapy modalities which endow these nanoplatforms with advanced theranostic capabilities has been summarized. (2) The mechanisms by which gases synergize with phototherapy to eradicate tumors are innovatively and comprehensively summarized. 2. The scientific impact and interest. This review elaborates current trends in gas-synergized anti-tumor phototherapy, with special emphases on synergistic anti-tumor mechanisms and rational design of therapeutic nanoplatforms to achieve this synergistic therapy. It aims to provide valuable guidance for researchers in this field.

[PMID: 38223179 PMCID: PMC10783917 DOI: 10.1364/boe.499286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
Hypoxia is a critical tumor microenvironment (TME) component. It significantly impacts tumor growth and metastasis and is known to be a major obstacle for cancer therapy. Integrating hypoxia modulation with imaging-based monitoring represents a promising strategy that holds the potential for enhancing tumor theranostics. Herein, a kind of nanoenzyme Prussian blue (PB) is synthesized as a metal-organic framework (MOF) to load the second near-infrared (NIR-II) small molecule dye IR1061, which could catalyze hydrogen peroxide to produce oxygen and provide a photothermal conversion element for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT). To enhance stability and biocompatibility, silica was used as a coating for an integrated nanoplatform (SPI). SPI was found to relieve the hypoxic nature of the TME effectively, thus suppressing tumor cell migration and downregulating the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), both of which led to an amplified NIR-II PTT effect in vitro and in vivo, guided by the NIR-II PAI. Furthermore, label-free multi-spectral PAI permitted the real-time evaluation of SPI as a putative tumor treatment. A clinical histological analysis confirmed the amplified treatment effect. Hence, SPI combined with PAI could offer a new approach for tumor diagnosing, treating, and monitoring.

Abstract
Cell membrane coating strategies have been increasingly researched due to their unique capabilities of biomimicry and biointerfacing, which can mimic the functionality of the original source cells in vivo but fail to provide customized nanoparticle surfaces with new or enhanced capabilities beyond natural cells. However, the field of drug lead discovery necessitates the acquisition of sufficient surface density of specific target membrane receptors, presenting a heightened demand for this technology. In this study, we developed a novel approach to fabricate high density of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) cell membrane-coated nanoparticles through covalent site-specific immobilization between genetically engineered FGFR4 with HaloTag anchor on cell membrane and chloroalkane-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles. This technique enables efficient screening of tyrosine kinase inhibitors from natural products. And the enhanced density of FGFR4 on the surface of nanoparticles were successfully confirmed by Western blot assay and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Further, the customized nanoparticles demonstrated exceptional sensitivity (limit of detection = 0.3 × 10-3 μg mL-1). Overall, the proposed design of a high density of membrane receptors, achieved through covalent site-specific immobilization with a HaloTag anchor, demonstrates a promising strategy for the development of cell membrane surface engineering. This approach highlights the potential of cell membrane coating technology for facilitating the advanced extraction of small molecules for drug discovery.

Abstract
Cancer and its metastasis/recurrence still threaten human health, despite various advanced treatments being employed. It is of great significance to develop simple drug formulations to enhance the efficacy and synergistic integration of various monotherapies. Herein, DMXAA, a vasodestructive agent with cGAS-STING stimulation capacity, is integrated with polyethylene glycol grafted poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid co-polymer (PLGA-PEG), obtaining PLGA-PEG/DMXAA (PPD) nanoparticles to induce the tumor-specific vascular destruction for multiple synergistic therapies of cancer. PPD could induce the formation of blood clots in the tumor after intravenous injection, which subsequently mediate photothermal therapy and further promote the release of oxygen for enhanced radiotherapy. Meanwhile, the enhanced vascular injury can induce perfect starvation therapy of tumor. More importantly, PPD-mediated therapies could trigger potent systemic anti-tumor immunity via inducing the immunogenic death of tumor cells and activating the cGAS-STING pathway. Together with anti-PD-L1, PPD-mediated therapies could not only remove the primary tumors, but also effectively eliminate the distant tumors, metastasis, and recurrence. Therefore, the modulation of tumor composition induced by a single drug-loaded nano-micelle could be utilized to enhance the therapeutic effect of multiple treatments for synergistic and systemic antitumor response, providing a practical strategy for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The application of nanomaterials in healthcare has emerged as a promising strategy due to their unique structural diversity, surface properties, and compositional diversity. In particular, nanomaterials have found a significant role in improving drug delivery and inhibiting the growth and metastasis of tumor cells. Moreover, recent studies have highlighted their potential in modulating the tumor microenvironment (TME) and enhancing the activity of immune cells to improve tumor therapy efficacy. Various types of nanomaterials are currently utilized as drug carriers, immunosuppressants, immune activators, immunoassay reagents, and more for tumor immunotherapy. Necessarily, nanomaterials used for tumor immunotherapy can be grouped into two categories: organic and inorganic nanomaterials. Though both have shown the ability to achieve the purpose of tumor immunotherapy, their composition and structural properties result in differences in their mechanisms and modes of action. Organic nanomaterials can be further divided into organic polymers, cell membranes, nanoemulsion-modified, and hydrogel forms. At the same time, inorganic nanomaterials can be broadly classified as nonmetallic and metallic nanomaterials. The current work aims to explore the mechanisms of action of these different types of nanomaterials and their prospects for promoting tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising cancer treatment modality; however, its therapeutic efficacy is greatly limited by tumor hypoxia. In this study, a metal-organic framework (MOF)-based hydrogel (MOF Gel) system that synergistically combines PDT with the supply of oxygen is designed. Porphyrin-based Zr-MOF nanoparticles are synthesized as the photosensitizer. MnO2 is decorated onto the surface of the MOF, which can effectively convert H₂O₂ into oxygen. Simultaneously, the incorporation of MnO2 -decorated MOF (MnP NPs) into a chitosan hydrogel (MnP Gel) serves to enhance its stability and retention at the tumor site. The results show that this integrated approach significantly improves tumor inhibition efficiency by relieving tumor hypoxia and enhancing PDT. Overall, the findings underscore the potential for employing nano-MOF-based hydrogel systems as promising agents for cancer therapy, thus advancing the application of multifunctional MOFs in cancer treatment.

Abstract
The combination of hypoxia-promoted photodynamic therapy (PDT) and autophagy modulation has shown strong potential in the treatment of hypoxic tumors. Here, a novel design is put forward for synergistic PDT and autophagy inhibition to amplify the effect of cancer therapy by a "chase and block" strategy. Specifically, the organic photosensitive molecule (denoted FL) is encapsulated in a hydrophobic layer between multi-band emitted upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and the amphiphilic polymer DSPE-PEG-COOH, allowing FL to fully exploit the luminescence spectrum of UCNPs under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. The FL is specifically activated by nitroreductase in the tumor microenvironment (TME), enabling hypoxia-promoted PDT and thus performing a "chase" strategy for cancer therapy. Additionally, the nanosystem is combined with an autophagy-inhibiting melittin pro-peptide (denoted as MEL), which could be triggered by the highly expressed legumain in tumor cells to inhibit the autophagy procedure by disrupting the lysosomal membrane, thus "blocking" the cancer cells from rescuing themselves and amplifying the killing effect of PDT. Both FL and MEL can be specifically activated by TME and the upconversion luminescence imaging of UCNPs offers a tracer function for the treatment. Therefore, UCNPs@FL-MEL might be an important reference for the design and development of future nanotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging clinical treatment that is expected to become an important adjuvant strategy for the immunotherapeutic cancer treatment. Recently, numerous works have reported combination strategies. However, clinical data showed that the anti-tumor immune response of PDT was not lasting though existing. The immune activation effect will eventually turn to immunosuppressive effect and get aggravated at the late stage post-PDT. So far, the mechanism is still unclear, which limits the design of specific correction strategies and further development of PDT. Several lines of evidence suggest a role for TGF-β1 in the immunosuppression associated with PDT. Herein, this study systematically illustrated the dynamic changes of immune states post-PDT within the tumor microenvironment. The results clearly demonstrated that high-light-dose PDT, as a therapeutic dose, induced early immune activation followed by late immunosuppression, which was mediated by the activated TGF-β1 upregulation. Then, the mechanism of PDT-induced TGF-β1 accumulation and immunosuppression was elucidated, including the ROS/TGF-β1/MMP-9 positive feedback loop and CD44-mediated local amplification, which was further confirmed by spatial transcriptomics, as well as by the extensive immune inhibitory effect of local high concentration of TGF-β1. Finally, a TGF-β blockade treatment strategy was presented as a promising combinational strategy to reverse high-light-dose PDT-associated immunosuppression. The results of this study provide new insights for the biology mechanism and smart improvement approaches to enhance tumor photodynamic immunotherapy.

Abstract
The five-year survival rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unsatisfactory. This reflects, in part, the paucity of effective methods that allow the target-specific diagnosis and therapy of HCC. Here, we report a strategy based on engineered human serum albumin (HSA) that permits the HCC-targeted delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Covalent cysteine conjugation combined with the exploitation of host-guest chemistry was used to effect the orthogonal functionalization of HSA with two functionally independent peptides. One of these peptides targets glypican-3 (GPC-3), an HCC-specific biomarker, while the second reduces macrophage phagocytosis through immune-checkpoint stimulation. This orthogonally engineered HSA proved effective for the GPC-3-targeted delivery of near-infrared fluorescent and phototherapeutic agents, thus permitting target-specific optical visualization and photodynamic ablation of HCC in vivo. This study thus offers new insights into specificity-enhanced fluorescence-guided surgery and phototherapy of HCC through the orthogonal engineering of biocompatible proteins.

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

Abstract
Purpose Although the combined photo-thermal (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors have demonstrated promise as effective cancer therapy, the hypoxic and insufficient H2O2 supply of tumors seriously limits the efficacy of PDT, and the acidic environment reduces the catalytic activity of nanomaterial in the tumor microenvironment. To develop a platform for efficiently addressing these challenges, we constructed a nanomaterial of Aptamer@dox/GOD-MnO2-SiO2@HGNs-Fc@Ce6 (AMS) for combination tumor therapy. The treatment effects of AMS were evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. Methods In this work, Ce6 and hemin were loaded on graphene (GO) through π-π conjugation, and Fc was connected to GO via amide bond. The HGNs-Fc@Ce6 was loaded into SiO2, and coated with dopamine. Then, MnO2 was modified on the SiO2. Finally, AS1411-aptamer@dox and GOD were fixed to gain AMS. We characterized the morphology, size, and zeta potential of AMS. The oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production properties of AMS were analyzed. The cytotoxicity of AMS was detected by MTT and calcein-AM/PI assays. The apoptosis of AMS to a tumor cell was estimated with a JC-1 probe, and the ROS level was detected with a 2',7'-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) probe. The anticancer efficacy in vivo was analyzed by the changes in the tumor size in different treatment groups. Results AMS was targeted to the tumor cell and released doxorubicin. It decomposed glucose to produce H2O2 in the GOD-mediated reaction. The generated sufficient H2O2 was catalyzed by MnO2 and HGNs-Fc@Ce6 to produce O2 and free radicals (•OH), respectively. The increased oxygen content improved the hypoxic environment of the tumor and effectively reduced the resistance to PDT. The generated •OH enhanced the ROS treatment. Moreover, AMS depicted a good photo-thermal effect. Conclusion The results revealed that AMS had an excellent enhanced therapy effect by combining synergistic PTT and PDT.

Abstract
Tumor immunotherapy exerts its anti-tumor effects by stimulating and enhancing immune responses of the body. It has become another important modality of anti-tumor therapy with significant clinical efficacy and advantages compared to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted therapy. Although various kinds of tumor immunotherapeutic drugs have emerged, the challenges faced in the delivery of these drugs, such as poor tumor permeability and low tumor cell uptake rate, had prevented their widespread application. Recently, nanomaterials had emerged as a means for treatment of different diseases due to their targeting properties, biocompatibility and functionalities. Moreover, nanomaterials possess various characteristics that overcome the defects of traditional tumor immunotherapy, such as large drug loading capacity, precise tumor targeting and easy modification, thus leading to their wide application in tumor immunotherapy. There are two main classes of novel nanoparticles mentioned in this review: organic (polymeric nanomaterials, liposomes and lipid nanoparticles) and inorganic (non-metallic nanomaterials and metallic nanomaterials). Besides, the fabrication method for nanoparticles, Nanoemulsions, was also introduced. In summary, this review article mainly discussed the research progress of tumor immunotherapy based on nanomaterials in the past few years and offers a theoretical basis for exploring novel tumor immunotherapy strategies in the future.

Abstract
The clinical application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is limited by the lack of tumor selectivity of photosensitizer (PS) and the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME). To address these limitations of PDT, we developed a hybrid engineered biointerface nanoplatform that integrated anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-aptamer (EApt)-modified liposomes with tumor cell membranes (TMs) to create M/L-EApt. M/L-EApt exhibited enhanced stability and significant dual-targeting ability, enabling selectively accumulate in hypoxic tumor regions after systemic infusion. PHI@M/L-EApt, formed by M/L-EApt loaded with an oxygen carrier perfluorotributylamine (PFTBA) and IR780 (a PS), effectively promoted the therapeutic performance of PDT by reversing the hypoxic TME and increasing the accumulation of IR780 at the tumor sites, resulting in a robust anti-tumor efficacy. In vivo results showed that PHI@M/L-EApt treatment effectively suppressed the growth of triple-negative breast tumors in mice. Our findings demonstrated the synergistic effect of oxygen supply and PDT on tumor treatment using PHI@M/L-EApt. This study presented a biomimetic interface engineering strategy and dual-targeted hybrid nanoplatform for relieving hypoxic TME and potentially facilitating the clinical application of PDT.

Abstract
Despite immunotherapy emerging as a vital approach to improve cancer treatment, the activation of efficient immune responses is still hampered by immunosuppression, especially due to the low tumor immunogenicity. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a promising strategy to reshape the tumor microenvironment (TME) for achieving high immunogenicity. Various stimuli are able to effectively initiate their specific ICD by utilizing the corresponding ICD-inducer. However, the ICD-guided antitumor immune effects are usually impaired by various biological barriers and TME-associated immune resistance. Biomimetic active materials are being extensively explored as guided agents for ICD due to their unique advantages. In this review, two major strategies are systematically introduced that have been employed to exploit biomimetic active materials guided ICD for cancer immunotherapy, mainly including naive organism-derived nanoagents and engineered bioactive platforms. This review outlines the recent advances in the field at biomimetic active materials guided physiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biotherapy for ICD induction. The advances and challenges of biomimetic active materials guided ICD for cancer immunotherapy applications are further discussed in future clinical practice. This review provides an overview of the advances of biomimetic active materials for targeting immunoregulation and treatment and can contribute to the future of advanced antitumor combination therapy.

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

Abstract
All-in-one nano theranostics integrating accurate diagnosis and combined therapy is promising for high-efficacy tumor treatment and receiving significant attention. In this study, we develop photo-controlled release liposomes with nucleic acid-triggered fluorescence and photoactivity for tumor imaging and synergistic antitumor therapy. Copper phthalocyanine as a photothermal agent is fused into lipid layers to prepare liposomes encapsulating cationic zinc phthalocyanine ZnPc(TAP)412+ and doxorubicin, followed by the modification of RGD peptide on the surface to obtain the final product RGD-CuPc:ZnPc(TAP)412+:DOX@LiPOs (RCZDL). RCZDL possesses favorable stability, significant photothermal effect, and photo-controlled release function through the characterization of physicochemical properties. It is shown that the fluorescence and ROS generation could be turned on by intracellular nucleic acid after illumination. RCZDL exhibits synergistic cytotoxicity, increased apoptosis, and significantly promoted cell uptake. Subcellular localization analysis indicates that ZnPc(TAP)412+ tends to be distributed in the mitochondria of HepG2 cells treated with RCZDL after exposure to light. The results of experiments in vivo on H22 tumor-bearing mice demonstrate that RCZDL had excellent tumor targeting, a prominent photothermal effect at the tumor sites, and synergistic antitumor efficiency. More importantly, little RCZDL has been found to be accumulated in the liver, and most were quickly metabolized by the liver. The results confirm that the proposed new intelligent liposomes provide a simple and cost-effective way for tumor imaging and combinatorial anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Immunotherapy exerts its excellent anti-tumor effects by stimulating and enhancing the immune response of the body, and has become another important class of anti-tumor therapy besides chemotherapy, targeted therapy and radiotherapy. Various types of immunotherapeutic drugs have gained their clinical values, but the in vivo delivery of drugs still faces many challenges, such as poor tumor permeability and low tumor cell uptake rate. In recent years, owing to highly targeting properties, better biocompatibility, and easy functionalization, nanomaterials have been widely applicated in tumor treatment, especially in tumor immunotherapy. Furthermore, nanomaterials have large drug loading capacity, strong tumor targeting and easy modification, which can effectively overcome the drawbacks of traditional immunotherapy. This paper reviews the progress of nanomaterial-based tumor immunotherapy in recent years and provides a theoretical basis for exploring new nanomaterial-based tumor immunotherapy strategies.

Abstract
Although immunotherapy has achieved recent clinical success in antitumor therapy, it is less effective for solid tumors with large burdens. To overcome this challenge, herein, we report a new strategy based on platelet membrane-camouflaged aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen (Plt-M@P) combined with the anti-programmed death ligand 1 (anti-PD-L1) for tumoral photodynamic-immunotherapy. Plt-M@P is prepared by using poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)/PF3-PPh3 complex as a nanocore, and then by co-extrusion with platelet membranes. PF3-PPh3 is an AIE-active conjugated polyelectrolyte with photosensitizing capability for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Plt-M@P exhibits superior tumor targeting capacity in vivo. When applied in small tumor-bearing (~40 mm3) mice, Plt-M@P-mediated PDT significantly inhibits tumor growth. In tumor models with large burdens (~200 mm3), using Plt-M@P-mediated PDT or anti-PD-L1 alone is less effective, but the combination of both is effective in inhibiting tumor growth. Importantly, this combination therapy has good biocompatibility, as demonstrated by the absence of damage to the major organs, especially the reproductive system. In conclusion, we show that Plt-M@P-mediated PDT can improve anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy by enhancing antitumor effects, providing a promising strategy for the treatment of tumors with large burdens.

Bioact Mater 2023; 21:1-19. [PMID: 36017071 PMCID: PMC9382433 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.07.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Although nano-immunotherapy has advanced dramatically in recent times, there remain two significant hurdles related to immune systems in cancer treatment, such as (namely) inevitable immune elimination of nanoplatforms and severely immunosuppressive microenvironment with low immunogenicity, hampering the performance of nanomedicines. To address these issues, several immune-regulating camouflaged nanocomposites have emerged as prevailing strategies due to their unique characteristics and specific functionalities. In this review, we emphasize the composition, performances, and mechanisms of various immune-regulating camouflaged nanoplatforms, including polymer-coated, cell membrane-camouflaged, and exosome-based nanoplatforms to evade the immune clearance of nanoplatforms or upregulate the immune function against the tumor. Further, we discuss the applications of these immune-regulating camouflaged nanoplatforms in directly boosting cancer immunotherapy and some immunogenic cell death-inducing immunotherapeutic modalities, such as chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, and reactive oxygen species-mediated immunotherapies, highlighting the current progress and recent advancements. Finally, we conclude the article with interesting perspectives, suggesting future tendencies of these innovative camouflaged constructs towards their translation pipeline.

Abstract
In vivo fluorescence imaging has received extensive attention due to its distinguished advantages of excellent biosafety, high sensitivity, dual temporal-spatial resolution, real-time monitoring ability, and non-invasiveness. Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) with near-infrared (NIR) absorption and emission wavelengths are ideal candidate for in vivo fluorescence imaging for their large Stokes shift, high brightness and superior photostability. NIR emissive AIEgens provide deep tissue penetration depth as well as low interference from tissue autofluorescence. Here in this review, we summarize the molecular engineering strategies for constructing NIR AIEgens with high performances, including extending π-conjugation system and strengthen donor (D)-acceptor (A) interactions. Then the encapsulation strategies for increasing water solubility and biocompatibility of these NIR AIEgens are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and prospect of fabricating NIR AIEgens for in vivo fluorescence imaging are also discussed. We hope this review would provide some guidelines for further exploration of new NIR AIEgens.

Abstract
Surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma suffers from a high recurrence rate. Ozone directly kills tumor cells by generating reactive oxygen species in vitro, but its high reactivity and short half-life severely limit its tumor accumulation and penetration for the treatment of tumors in vivo. Herein, a thermoresponsive ozone-enriched spray gel is developed to suppress the tumor recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (Huh-7 tumors). Briefly, a perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion (PFTBA@LIP) consisting of a perfluorotributylamine core and a lipid monolayer is fabricated, which is encapsulated in the thermoresponsive hydrogel. Ozone is then dissolved in the nanoemulsion owing to its high affinity to PFTBA (O3/PFTBA@LIP@Gel), which effectively improves its stability. Of note is that O3/PFTBA@LIP@Gel induces both ferroptosis and apoptosis by regulating the expression of relevant genes (GPX4, ACSL4, CDKN1A, etc.) and inducing considerable lipid peroxidation, which significantly reduces the tumor recurrence of the Huh-7 tumor by spraying the gel in the surgical cavity and prolongs the survival of tumor-bearing mice.

Abstract
Due to its low adverse effects, minimal invasiveness, and outstanding patient compliance, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has drawn a great deal of interest, which is achieved through incomplete reduction of O2 by a photosensitizer under light illumination that produces amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, tumor hypoxia significantly hinders the therapeutic effect of PDT so that tumor cells cannot be eliminated, which results in tumor cells proliferating, invading, and metastasizing. Additionally, O2 consumption during PDT exacerbates hypoxia in tumors, leading to several adverse events after PDT treatment. In recent years, various investigations have focused on conquering or using tumor hypoxia by nanomaterials to amplify PDT efficacy, which is summarized in this review. This comprehensive review's objective is to present novel viewpoints on the advancement of oxygenation nanomaterials in this promising field, which is motivated by hypoxia-associated anti-tumor therapy.

Core-satellite nanoreactors based on cationic photosensitizer modified hollow CuS nanocage for ROS diffusion enhanced phototherapy of hypoxic tumor. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 145:213263.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficiency is directly affected by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by photosensitizers. However, ROSs' ultrashort life span and limited diffusion distance restrict the PDT efficiency. Therefore, it is important to control the delivery strategy of photosensitizers for PDT treatment. Herein, the core-satellite nanoreactors were fabricated with oxygen generation and ROS diffusion properties. The hollow CuS encapsulating horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was combined with the cationic photosensitizers (PEI-Ce6). The unique photosensitizers delivery strategy makes the nanoreactors achieve ROS diffusion-enhanced PDT effect. First, HRP in "core" (HRP@CuS) can decompose hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to O2, increasing O2 levels on the surface of the nanoreactor. Second, the Ce6 molecules covalent-linked with PEI are uniformly dispersed on the surface of CuS as a "satellite", avoiding Ce6 aggregation and causing more Ce6 molecules be activated to produce more 1O2. Due to the Ce6 was on the surface of the CuS nanocages, the generated ROS may ensure a larger diffusion range. Meanwhile, the inherently CuS nanocages exhibit photothermal and photoacoustic (PA) effect. The photothermal effect further enhances the ROS diffusion. Under the guidance of PA imaging, nanoreactors exhibit highly efficient hypoxic tumor ablation via photodynamic and photothermal effect. Overall, the core-satellite nanoreactors provide an effective strategy for tumor therapy, further promoting the research of photosensitizers delivery.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a persistent physiological feature of many different solid tumors and a key driver of malignancy, and in recent years, it has been recognized as an important target for cancer therapy. Hypoxia occurs in the majority of solid tumors due to a poor vascular oxygen supply that is not sufficient to meet the needs of rapidly proliferating cancer cells. A hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) can reduce the effectiveness of other tumor therapies, such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. In this review, we discuss the critical role of hypoxia in tumor development, including tumor metabolism, tumor immunity, and tumor angiogenesis. The treatment methods for hypoxic TME are summarized, including hypoxia-targeted therapy and improving oxygenation by alleviating tumor hypoxia itself. Hyperoxia therapy can be used to improve tissue oxygen partial pressure and relieve tumor hypoxia. We focus on the underlying mechanisms of hyperoxia and their impact on current cancer therapies and discuss the prospects of hyperoxia therapy in cancer treatment.

Abstract
As a typical hallmark of solid tumors, hypoxia affects the effects of tumor radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and photodynamic therapy. Therefore, targeting the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) is a promising treatment strategy for cancer therapy. Here, we prepared an Albumin Human Serum (HSA)-coated perfluorocarbon (PFC) carrying oxygen (PFC@O2) to minimize OSCC hypoxia. The results showed that PFC@O2 significantly downregulated the expression of HIF-1α and the number of M2-like macrophages in vitro. Furthermore, PFC@O2 effectively inhibited the growth of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and reduced the proportion of negative immunoregulatory cells, including myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and M2-like macrophages of TME in a 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide (4NQO)-induced mouse model. Conversely, the infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was significantly increased in TME, suggesting that the anti-tumor immune response was enhanced. However, we also found that hypoxia-relative genes expression was positively correlated with CD68+/CD163+ TAMs in human tissue specimens. In summary, PFC@O2 could effectively inhibit the progression of OSCC by alleviating hypoxia, which provides a practical basis for gas therapy and gas synergistic therapy for OSCC.

Abstract
Traditional cancer therapeutics, such as chemotherapies, are often limited by their non-specific nature, causing harm to non-malignant tissues. Over the past several decades, nanomedicine researchers have sought to address this challenge by developing nanoscale platforms capable of more precisely delivering drug payloads. Cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CNPs) are an emerging class of nanocarriers that have demonstrated considerable promise for biomedical applications. Consisting of a synthetic nanoparticulate core camouflaged by a layer of naturally derived cell membranes, CNPs are adept at operating within complex biological environments; depending on the type of cell membrane utilized, the resulting biomimetic nanoformulation is conferred with several properties typically associated with the source cell, including improved biocompatibility, immune evasion and tumour targeting. In comparison with traditional functionalization approaches, cell membrane coating provides a streamlined method for creating multifunctional and multi-antigenic nanoparticles. In this Review, we discuss the history and development of CNPs as well as how these platforms have been used for cancer therapy. The application of CNPs for drug delivery, phototherapy and immunotherapy will be described in detail. Translational efforts are currently under way and further research to address key areas of need will ultimately be required to facilitate the successful clinical adoption of CNPs.

Abstract
Attempts have been made continuously to use nano-drug delivery system (NDDS) to improve the effect of antitumor therapy. In recent years, especially in the application of immunotherapy represented by antiprogrammed death receptor 1 (anti-PD-1), it has been vigorously developed. Nanodelivery systems are significantly superior in a number of aspects including increasing the solubility of insoluble drugs, enhancing their targeting ability, prolonging their half-life, and reducing side effects. It can not only directly improve the efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, but also indirectly enhance the antineoplastic efficacy of immunotherapy by boosting the effectiveness of therapeutic modalities such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photothermal, and photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT). Here, we summarize the studies published in recent years on the use of nanotechnology in pharmaceutics to improve the efficacy of anti-PD-1 antibodies, analyze their characteristics and shortcomings, and combine with the current clinical research on anti-PD-1 antibodies to provide a reference for the design of future nanocarriers, so as to further expand the clinical application prospects of NDDSs.

Abstract
Living cells have become ideal therapeutic agents for cancer treatment owing to their innate activities, such as efficient tumor targeting and delivery, easy engineering, immunomodulatory properties, and fewer adverse effects. However, cell agents are often fragile to rigorous tumor microenvironment (TME) and limited by inadequate therapeutic responses, leading to unwanted treatment efficacy. Cell nanomodification, particularly the cell surface-nanoengineering has emerged as reliable and efficient strategy that not only combines cell activity properties with nanomaterials but also endows them with extra novel functions, enabling to achieve remarkable treatment results. In this review, we systematically introduce two major strategies have been adopted to develop cell surface engineering with nanomaterials, mainly including living cell nano-backpacks and cell membrane-mimicking nanoparticles (NPs). Based on various functional NPs and cell types, we focus on reviewing the cell-surface nanoengineering for targeted drug delivery, immune microenvironment regulation, and precisely antitumor therapy. The advances and challenges of cell surface-nanoengineered antitumor agents for cancer therapy applications are further discussed in future clinical practice. This review provides an overview of the advances in cell surface-engineering for targeting immunoregulation and treatment and could contribute to the future of advanced cell-based antitumor therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Phototherapeutic agents with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, strong reactive oxygen species generation and photothermal conversion capabilities are highly desirable for use in cancer therapy. Herein, a water-soluble NIR croconaine dye (TCR) with a thiophene-croconaine rigid core and two symmetric alkyl chains was designed and synthesized. TCR exhibits intense NIR absorption and fluorescence that peaked at 780 and 815 nm, respectively, with a high molar extinction coefficient of 1.19 × 105 M-1 cm-1. Moreover, TCR has a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 77% and is capable of generating hydroxyl radicals (OH˙) under 735 nm laser irradiation. Based on these outstanding properties, TCR has proven its application in NIR fluorescence imaging-guided synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy of cancer.

Abstract
Nanoemulsion, or nanoscaled-size emulsions, is a thermodynamically stable system formed by blending two immiscible liquids, blended with an emulsifying agent to produce a single phase. Nanoemulsion science has advanced rapidly in recent years, and it has opened up new opportunities in a variety of fields, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food, and cosmetics. Nanoemulsion has been recognized as a potential drug delivery technology for various drugs, such as photosensitizing agents (PS). In photodynamic therapy (PDT), PSs produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species under specific light irradiation, which oxidize the surrounding tissues. Over the past decades, the idea of PS-loaded nanoemulsions has received researchers' attention due to their ability to overcome several limitations of common PSs, such as limited permeability, non-specific phototoxicity, hydrophobicity, low bioavailability, and self-aggregation tendency. This review aims to provide fundamental knowledge of nanoemulsion formulations and the principles of PDT. It also discusses nanoemulsion-based PDT strategies and examines nanoemulsion advantages for PDT, highlighting future possibilities for nanoemulsion use.

Abstract
Independent of tumor type and non-invasive or minimally-invasive feature, current physical treatments including ultrasound therapy, microwave ablation (MWA), and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are widely used as the local treatment methods in clinics for directly killing tumors and activating systematic immune responses. However, the activated immune responses are inadequate and incompetent for tumor recession, and the incomplete thermal ablation even aggravates the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITM), resulting in the intractable tumor recurrence and metastasis. Intriguingly, nanomedicine provides a powerful platform as they can elevate energy utilization efficiency and augment oncolytic effects for mitigating ITM and potentiating the systematic immune responses. Especially after combining with clinical immunotherapy, the anti-tumor killing effect by activating or enhancing the human anti-tumor immune system is reached, enabling the effective prevention against tumor recurrence and metastasis. This review systematically introduces the cutting-edge progress and direction of nanobiotechnologies and their corresponding nanomaterials. Moreover, the enhanced physical treatment efficiency against tumor progression, relapse, and metastasis via activating or potentiating the autologous immunity or combining with exogenous immunotherapeutic agents is exemplified, and their rationales are analyzed. This review offers general guidance or directions to enhance clinical physical treatment from the perspectives of immunity activation or magnification.

Abstract
The regulation of photochemical properties of phototheranostics, especially the absorption, fluorescence, singlet oxygen (1O2) generation, and photothermal conversion efficiency, is a hot research topic. Here, we designed and synthesized four boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivatives with high absorption coefficients and intense fluorescence in the near-infrared (NIR) region. The substituted electron-donating group significantly improved 1O2 generation and fluorescence of BODIPYs, whereas the electron-withdrawing group boosts photothermal conversion. These hydrophobic BODIPYs were further coated with DSPE-PEG-2000 to form water dispersible nanoparticles (NPs). Among these BODIPY NPs, the B-OMe-NPs with methoxyl substituted at the meso-position showed the highest 1O2 generation, a photothermal conversion efficiency of 66.5%, and an NIR fluorescence peak at 809 nm. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that B-OMe-NPs might be used for NIR fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging-guided photodynamic and photothermal therapy of cancer.
