Abstract
Nowadays, oral medications are the primary method of treating disease due to their convenience, low cost, and safety, without the need for complex medical procedures. To maximize treatment effectiveness, almost all oral medications utilize drug carriers, such as capsules, liposomes, and sugar coatings. However, these carriers rely on dissolution or fragmentation to achieve drug release, which leads to drugs and carriers coabsorption in the body, causing unnecessary adverse drug reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and even death caused by allergy. Therefore, the ideal oral drug carrier should avoid degradation and absorption and be totally excreted after drug release at the desired location. Herein, a gastrointestinally stable oral drug carrier based on porous aromatic framework-1 (PAF-1) is constructed, and it is modified with famotidine (a well-known gastric drug) and mesalazine (a well-known ulcerative colitis drug) to verify the excellent potential of PAF-1. The results demonstrate that PAF-1 can accurately release famotidine in stomach, mesalazine in the intestine, and finally be completely excreted from the body without any residue after 12 h. The use of PAF materials for the construction of oral drug carriers with no residue in the gastrointestinal tract provides a new approach for efficient disease treatment.

Abstract
The discovery of cuproptosis, a copper-dependent mechanism of programmed cell death, has provided a way for cancer treatment. However, cuproptosis has inherent limitations, including potential cellular harm, the lack of targeting, and insufficient efficacy as a standalone treatment. Therefore, exogenously controlled combination treatments have emerged as key strategies for cuproptosis-based oncotherapy. In this study, a Cu2-xSe@cMOF nanoplatform was constructed for combined sonodynamic/cuproptosis/gas therapy. This platform enabled precise cancer cotreatment, with external control allowing the selective induction of cuproptosis in cancer cells. This approach effectively prevented cancer metastasis and recurrence. Furthermore, Cu2-xSe@cMOF was combined with the antiprogrammed cell death protein ligand-1 antibody (aPD-L1), and this combination maximized the advantages of cuproptosis and immune checkpoint therapy. Additionally, under ultrasound irradiation, the H2Se gas generated from Cu2-xSe@cMOF induced cytotoxicity in cancer cells. Further, it generated reactive oxygen species, which hindered cell survival and proliferation. This study reports an externally controlled system for cuproptosis induction that combines a carbonized metal-organic framework with aPD-L1 to enhance cancer treatment. This precision and reinforced cuproptosis cancer therapy platform could be valuable as an effective therapeutic agent to reduce cancer mortality and morbidity in the future.

Abstract
The morphological features of materials significantly influence their interactions with cells, consequently affecting the cellular uptake of these materials. In this study, we examine the cellular uptake behavior of spherical metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and petaloid MOFs, both possessing similar sizes and compositions. In comparison to spherical MOFs, dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages exhibit superior phagocytic uptake of petaloid MOFs. Next, the results demonstrate that R848@petaloid MOFs more effectively promote the repolarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) from the M2 to M1 phenotype and the maturation of DCs. More importantly, the R848-loaded petaloid MOFs are found to significantly enhance the therapeutic effects of radiotherapy (RT) by eliciting antitumor responses. Furthermore, R848@petaloid MOFs combined with RT and αPD-L1 elicit a potent abscopal effect, effectively suppressing tumor metastasis. Therefore, this work proposes a new strategy to enhance the uptake of immunomodulators by immune cells through modulating the morphology of drug delivery carriers.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is regarded as a promising strategy to modulate tumor immune microenvironments for anticancer therapy. Although pyroptosis inducers have been extensively explored in the biomedical field, their drug resistance, off-targeting capacity, and adverse effects do not fulfill the growing demands of therapy. Nowadays, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with unique structures and facile synthesis/functionalization characteristics have shown great potential in anticancer therapy. The flexible choices of metal ions and ligands endow MOFs with inherent anti-cancer efficiency, whereas the porous structures in MOFs make them ideal vehicles for delivering various chemodrug-based pyroptosis inducers. In this review, we provide the latest advances in MOF-based materials to evoke pyroptosis and give a brief but comprehensive review of the different types of MOFs for pyroptosis-mediated cancer therapy. Finally, we also discuss the current challenges of MOF-based pyroptosis inducers and their future prospects in this field.

Abstract
Tumors produce a hypoxic environment that greatly influences cancer treatment, and conventional chemotherapeutic drugs cannot selectively accumulate in the tumor region because of the lack of a tumor targeting mechanism, causing increased systemic toxicities and side effects. Hence, designing and developing new nanoplatforms that combine multimodal therapeutic regimens is essential to improve tumor therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we report the synthesis of ultrafine Cu nanoparticles loaded with a drug combination of cisplatin (Pt) and 1-methyl-d-tryptophan (1-MT) and externally coated with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) photosensitizer, polydopamine (PDA) and CaO2 of MIL-101(Fe) as a new nanoplatform (Cu@MIL-101@PMTPC). The nanoplatform synergistically combined chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and immunochemotherapy. The Fe3+ in MIL-101(Fe) and the surface Cu nanoparticles exhibited strong ability to consume intracellular glutathione (GSH), thereby generating a Fenton-like response in the tumor microenvironment (TME) with substantial peroxidase (POD)-like and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities. In this design, we used the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor 1-MT to overcome chemotherapy-induced immune escape phenomena including enhanced CD8+ and CD4+ T cell expression, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production, and accelerated immunogenic cell death. The targeted release of cisplatin loaded into Cu@MIL-101@PMTPC also reduced toxic side effects of chemotherapy. TCPP generated a large amount of singlet oxygen (1O2) upon specific laser irradiation to effectively kill tumor cells. CaO2 on the outer layer generated oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to ameliorate hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, enhance the PDT effect, and provide a continuous supply of H2O2 for the Fenton-like reaction. Thus, this nanocarrier platform exhibited a powerful chemodynamic, photodynamic, and immunochemotherapeutic cascade, providing a new strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Hollow silica spheres have been widely studied for drug delivery because of their excellent biosecurity and high porosity. However, difficulties with degradation in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and premature leaking during drug delivery limit their clinical applications. To alleviate these problems, herein, hollow organosilica spheres (HOS) were initially prepared using a "selective etching strategy" and loaded with a photothermal drug: new indocyanine green (IR820). Then, the Cu2+-tannic acid complex (Cu-TA) was deposited on the surface of the HOS, and a new nanoplatform named HOS@IR820@Cu-TA (HICT) was finally obtained. The deposition of Cu-TA can gate the pores of HOS completely to prevent the leakage of IR820 and significantly enhance the loading capacity of HOS. Once in the mildly acidic TME, the HOS and outer Cu-TA decompose quickly in response, resulting in the release of Cu2+ and IR820. The released Cu2+ can react with the endogenous glutathione (GSH) to consume it and produce Cu+, leading to the enhanced production of highly toxic ·OH through a Fenton-like reaction due to the overexpressed H2O2 in the TME. Meanwhile, the ·OH generation was remarkably enhanced by the NIR light-responsive photothermal effect of IR820. These collective properties of HICT enable it to be a smart nanomedicine for dually enhanced chemodynamic therapy through GSH depletions and NIR light-triggered photothermal effects.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, a new mode of regulatory cell death, holds a promising prospect in tumor therapy. The occurrence of pyroptosis can trigger the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and activate the antitumor immune response. Moreover, enhancing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation can effectively induce pyroptosis. Herein, an integrated nanoplatform (hCZAG) based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with Cu2+ and Zn2+ as active nodes and glucose oxidase (GOx) loading is constructed to evoke pyroptosis. GOx can effectively elevate intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) levels to regulate the unfavorable tumor microenvironment (TME). Cu2+ can be reduced to Cu+ by endogenous overexpressed GSH and both Cu2+ and Cu+ can exert Fenton-like activity to promote ROS generation and amplify oxidative stress. In addition, the accumulation of Cu2+ leads to the aggregation of lipoylated dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase (DLAT), thus resulting in cuproptosis. Notably, the outburst of ROS induced by hCZAG activates Caspase-1 proteins, leads to the cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD), and induces pyroptosis. Pyroptosis further elicits an adaptive immune response, leading to immunogenic cell death (ICD). This study provides effective strategies for triggering pyroptosis-mediated immunotherapy and achieving improved therapeutic effects.

Abstract
With the growing need for more effective tumour treatment, piezocatalytic therapy has emerged as a promising approach due to its distinctive capacities to generate ROS through stress induction and regulate the hypoxic state of the TME. MOF-based piezocatalysts not only possess the benefits of piezocatalysis but also exhibit several advantages associated with MOFs, such as tunable pore size, large specific surface area, and good biocompatibility. Therefore, they are expected to become a powerful promoter of piezocatalytic therapy. This review elaborates on the fundamental principles of piezocatalysis and summarises recent advances in the piezocatalytic therapy and combination therapies of tumours, generalising the strategies for constructing piezocatalytic systems based on MOFs. Finally, the challenges confronted and future opportunities for the design and application of piezocatalytic MOF anticancer systems have been discussed.

Abstract
Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) probes greatly facilitate in vivo imaging of various biologically important species. However, there are several significant limitations such as consuming washing steps, photobleaching, and low signal intensity. Herein, we synthesized fluorescent copper nanosheets templated with DNA scaffolds (DNS/CuNSs). We employ them and Cy5.5 of the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system, which have a larger Stokes shift (∼12-fold) than the traditional NIRF dye Cy5.5. Based on their excellent fluorescence properties, we employ DNS/CuNSs-Cy5.5 for fluorescence probes in cancer cell imaging. Compared with the free Cy5.5 fluorescence probe, the novel fluorescence imaging probe implements wash-free imaging and exhibits enhanced anti-photobleaching ability (∼5.5-fold). Moreover, the FRET system constructed by DNS/CuNSs has a higher signal amplification ability (∼4.17-fold), which is more similar to that of Cu nanoclusters prepared with DNA nanomonomers as a template. This work provides a new idea for cancer cell MCF-7 imaging and is expected to promote the development of cancer cell fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Calcium ions (Ca2+) are indispensable and versatile metal ions that play a pivotal role in regulating cell metabolism, encompassing cell survival, proliferation, migration, and gene expression. Aberrant Ca2+ levels are frequently linked to cell dysfunction and a variety of pathological conditions. Therefore, it is essential to maintain Ca2+ homeostasis to coordinate body function. Disrupting the balance of Ca2+ levels has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy for various diseases, and there has been extensive research on integrating this approach into nanoplatforms. In this review, the current nanoplatforms that regulate Ca2+ homeostasis for cancer therapy are first discussed, including both direct and indirect approaches to manage Ca2+ overload or inhibit Ca2+ signalling. Then, the applications of these nanoplatforms in targeting different cells to regulate their Ca2+ homeostasis for achieving therapeutic effects in cancer treatment are systematically introduced, including tumour cells and immune cells. Finally, perspectives on the further development of nanoplatforms for regulating Ca2+ homeostasis, identifying scientific limitations and future directions for exploitation are offered.

Abstract
Bacterial infection poses a constant threat to human health. It is crucial to develop cost-effective and multifunctional solutions to combat bacteria. In this study, inspiration has been taken from artificial photosynthesis and a hydrogel containing a photocatalytic metal-organic cluster (MOC) has been creatively formulated for wound healing and antibacterial purposes. Complete photocatalytic cycles have been achieved by combining the oxidative Ti-center and the reductive Cu-center, in which reactive oxygen species (1 O2 and ·OH) have been generated. The MOC has the capability to eliminate Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) at a concentration of 40 µg mL-1 . In addition, the hydrogel formulation (H-MOC) has been applied to wounds infected with S. aureus, resulting in improved healing efficiency. This work presents an innovative approach to utilizing photocatalytic biomaterials as non-antibiotic medications.

Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a global health threat by causing persistent and recurrent microbial infections. To address this issue, antimicrobial nanoparticles (NPs) with low drug resistance but potent bactericidal effects have been developed. However, many of the developed NPs display poor biosafety and their synthesis often involves complex procedures and the antimicrobial modes of action are unclear. Herein, a simple strategy is reported for designing antimicrobial metal-phenolic network (am-MPN) NPs through the one-step assembly of a seeding agent (diethyldithiocarbamate), natural polyphenols, and metal ions (e.g., Cu2+ ) in aqueous solution. The Cu2+ -based am-MPN NPs display lower Cu2+ antimicrobial concentrations (by 10-1000 times) lower than most reported nanomaterials and negligible toxicity across various models, including, cells, blood, zebrafish, and mice. Multiple antimicrobial modes of the NPs have been identified, including bacterial wall disruption, reactive oxygen species production, and quinoprotein formation, with the latter being a distinct pathway identified for the antimicrobial activity of the polyphenol-based am-MPN NPs. The NPs exhibit excellent performance against multidrug-resistant bacteria (e.g., methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)), efficiently inhibit and destroy bacterial biofilms, and promote the healing of MRSA-infected skin wounds. This study provides insights on the antimicrobial properties of metal-phenolic materials and the rational design of antimicrobial metal-organic materials.

Acta Biomater 2024; 174:372-385. [PMID: 38072226 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.12.006] [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: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
Targeted delivery of therapeutic drugs to fibrosis-promoting macrophages (FPMs) holds promise as a challenging yet effective approach for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Here, nanocarriers composed of Mn-curcumin metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were utilized to deliver the immune inhibitor BLZ-945 to the lungs, with the goal of depleting fibrosis-promoting macrophages (FPMs) from fibrotic lung tissues. FPM targeting was achieved by functionalizing the nanocarrier surface with an M2-like FPM binding peptide (M2pep). As a result, significant therapeutic benefits were observed through the successful depletion of approximately 80 % of the M2-like macrophages (FPMs) in a bleomycin-induced fibrosis mouse model treated with the designed M2-like FPM-targeting nanoparticle (referred to as M2NP-BLZ@Mn-Cur). Importantly, the released Mn2+ and curcumin after the degradation of M2NP-BLZ@Mn-Cur accumulated in the fibrotic lung tissue, which can alleviate inflammation and oxidative stress reactions, thereby further improving IPF therapy. This study presents a novel strategy with promising prospects for molecular-targeted fibrosis therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)- based nanocarriers equipped with both fibrosis-promoting macrophage (FPM)-specific targeting ability and therapeutic drugs are appealing for pulmonary fibrosis treatment. Here, we prepared M2pep (an M2-like FPM binding peptide)-modified and BLZ945 (a small molecule inhibitor of CSF1/CSF-1R axis)-loaded Mn-curcumin MOF nanoparticles (M2NP-BLZ@Mn-Cur) for pulmonary fibrosis therapy. The functionalized M2NP-BLZ@Mn-Cur nanoparticles can be preferentially taken up by FPMs, resulting in their depletion from fibrotic lung tissues. In addition, Mn2+and curcumin released from the nanocarriers have anti-inflammation and immune regulation effects, which further enhance the antifibrotic effect of the nanoparticles.

Abstract
The separation and analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in liquid biopsy significantly facilitated clinical cancer diagnosis and personalized therapy. However, current methods face challenges in simultaneous efficient capturing, separation, and imaging of CTCs, and most of the devices cannot be reused/regenerated. We present here an innovative glowing octopus-inspired nanomachine (GOIN), capable of capturing, imaging, separating, and controlling the release of cancer cells from whole blood and normal cells. The GOIN comprises an aptamer-decorated magnetic fluorescent covalent organic framework (COF), which exhibits a strong affinity for nucleolin-overexpressed cancer cells through a multivalent binding effect. The captured cancer cells can be directly imaged using the intrinsic stable fluorescence of the COF layer in the GOIN. Employing magnet and NIR laser assistance enables easy separation and mild photothermal release of CTCs from the normal cells and the nanomachine without compromising cell viability. Moreover, the GOIN demonstrates a reusing capability, as the NIR-triggered CTC release is mild and nondestructive, allowing the GOIN to be reused at least three times.

Abstract
The cell elimination strategy based on reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a promising method for tumor therapy. However, its efficacy is significantly limited by ROS deficiency caused by H2 O2 substrate deficiency and up-regulation of cellular antioxidant defense induced by high glutathione (GSH) content in tumor cells. To overcome these obstacles, a multifunctional self-cascaded nanocomposite: glucose oxidase (GOX) loaded NaYF4 :Yb/Er@Mn3 O4 (UC@Mn3 O4 , labeled as UCMn) is constructed. Only in tumor microenvironment, it can be specifically activated through a series of cascades to boost ROS production via a strategy of open source (H2 O2 self-supplying ability). The increased ROS can enhance lipid peroxidation and induce tumor cell apoptosis by activating the protein caspase. More importantly, the nanozyme can consume GSH to inhibit glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity, which limits tumor cell resistance to oxidative damage and triggers the tumor cell ferroptosis. Therefore, this strategy is expected to overcome the resistance of tumor to oxidative damage and achieve efficient oxidative damage of tumor. Further, degradation of the Mn3 O4 layer induced by GSH and acidic environment can promote the fluorescence recovery of UC fluorescent nuclear for tumor imaging to complete efficient integration of diagnosis and treatment for tumor.

Abstract
Aiming at the clinical problems of high recurrence and metastasis rate of triple-negative breast cancer, a divide-and-conquer tactic is developed. The designed nanoactivators enhance microwave thermo-dynamic-chemotherapy to efficiently kill primary tumors, simultaneously ameliorate the immunosuppressive microenvironment, activate the tumor infiltration of T lymphocytes, and enhance the accumulation and penetration of PD-1/PD-L1 immune agents, ultimately boosting the efficacy of immune checkpoint blocking therapy to achieve efficient inhibition of distal tumors and metastases. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based MPPT nano-activator is synthesized by packaging chemotherapeutic drug Pyrotinib and immunosuppressant PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor 2 into MnCa-MOF and then coupling target molecule triphenylphosphine, which significantly improved the accumulation and penetration of Pyrotinib and immunosuppressant in tumors. In addition to the combined treatment of microwave thermo-dynamic-chemotherapy under microwave irradiation, Mn2+ in the nano-activator comprehensively promotes the cGAS-STING pathway to activate innate immunity, microwave therapy, and hypoxia relief are combined to ameliorate the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. The released Pyrotinib down-regulates epidermal growth factor receptor and its downstream pathways PI3K/AKT/mTOR and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways to maximize the therapeutic effect of immune checkpoint blocking, which helps to enhance the antitumor efficacy and promote long-term memory immunity. This nano-activator offers a generally promising paradigm for existing clinical triple-negative breast cancer treatment through a divide-and-conquer strategy.

Abstract
Exosomal PD-L1 has been increasingly considered a noninvasive and accurate predictive marker for immunotherapy treatment response. However, the clinical monitoring of exosomal PD-L1 expression is still limited by its complex biological environment as well as the lack of a robust isolation strategy. Here, a Tim4-functionalized magnetic core-shell metal-organic framework (denoted as Fe3O4@SiO2-ILI-01@Tim4) was facilely constructed via layer-by-layer assembly. Owing to the strongly hydrophilic organic ligand of 1,3-bis(4-carboxybutyl)imidazolium bromide (ILI), magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2-ILI-01@Tim4 was endowed with the merits of low nonspecific adsorption and quick, easy, and convenient isolation of exosomes. The capture efficiency of Fe3O4@SiO2-ILI-01@Tim4 reached as high as 90.3 ± 0.5% and the recovery rate for exosomes was up to 93.0 ± 6.1%. The purity of the isolated exosomes was 7.5 times higher than that via the ultracentrifugation (UC) method. By further combination with immunofluorescence assay, high throughput and noninvasive exosomal PD-L1 detection for accurate immunotherapy response prediction was achieved. The prognosis accuracy of the developed Fe3O4@SiO2-ILI-01@Tim4-based strategy reached 85.7%, whereas the prognosis accuracy of the clinical gold standard, the PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) test, was only 57.1%. Most interestingly, the developed method is especially suitable for those patients receiving false negative results in the CPS test. The proposed Fe3O4@SiO2-ILI-01@Tim4 is a highly efficient and robust technique showing great potential in high throughput and noninvasive exosomal PD-L1 detection for accurately predicting immunotherapy efficacy.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising drug-delivering platforms for their intrinsic capability of loading and releasing different cargoes. To further extend their biomedical practices, the development of collaborative MOF systems with good biocompatibility and synergistic efficacy is essential. Herein, the near-infrared and pH dual-response collaborative zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) platform SOR@ZIF-8@PDA (SZP) was constructed, in which the chemotherapeutic drug sorafenib (SOR) was encapsulated in ZIF-8 and via polydopamine (PDA) coating on ZIF-8 by hierarchical self-assembly. PDA coating serves as a photothermal agent for PPT while reducing the toxicity of ZIF-8. SZP achieves intelligent release of therapeutic drugs by responding to the lower pH of the tumor microenvironment and thermal stimulation generated by near-infrared light irradiation. In addition, under light irradiation, SZP could effectively realize treatment of cancer cells through synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy, as evidenced by the enhanced cell apoptosis, inhibited tumor cell proliferation and migration. This collaborative MOFs system showed excellent biocompatibility and antitumor ability in vivo on a mouse HepG2 tumor model. Our results demonstrated that PDA-modified MOFs exhibited a fantastic good development prospect in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Burgeoning is an evolution from conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT). Thus, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) regulated by nanoparticles (NPs) possesses multiple advantages, including stronger penetration ability, better biological safety, and not reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent tumor-killing effect. However, the limitation to tumor inhibition instead of shrinkage and the incapability of eliminating metastatic tumors hinder the clinical potential for SDT. Fortunately, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) can revive immunological function and induce a long-term immune memory against tumor rechallenges. Hence, synergizing NPs-based SDT with ICB can provide a promising therapeutic outcome for solid tumors. Herein, we briefly reviewed the progress in NPs-based SDT and ICB therapy. We highlighted the synergistic anti-tumor mechanisms and summarized the representative preclinical trials on SDT-assisted immunotherapy. Compared to other reviews, we provided comprehensive and unique perspectives on the innovative sonosensitizers in each trial. Moreover, we also discussed the current challenges and future corresponding solutions.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of crystalline porous hybrid materials with high porosity, large specific surface area and adjustable channel structure and biocompatibility, which are being investigated with increasing interest for energy storage and conversion, gas adsorption/separation, catalysis, sensing and biomedicine. However, the practical applications of MOFs make them release into the environment inevitable, posing a threat to humans and organisms. In this article, we cover advances in the currently available MOFs synthesis methods and the emerging applications of MOFs, especially in the biomedical field (therapeutic agents and bioimaging). Additionally, after evaluating the current status of main exposure routes and affecting factors in the field of MOFs-toxicity, the molecular mechanism is also clarified and identified. Knowledge gaps are identified from such a summarization and frontier development are explored for MOFs. Afterwards, we also present the limitations, challenges, and future perspectives in the study of the entire life cycle of MOFs. This review emphasizes the need for a more targeted discussion of the latest, widely used and effective versatile material class in order to exploit the full potential of high-performance and non-toxicity MOFs in the future.

Abstract
Tumors are a major public health issue of concern to humans, seriously threatening the safety of people's lives and property. With the increasing demand for early and accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment of tumors, noninvasive optical imaging (including fluorescence imaging and photoacoustic imaging) and tumor synergistic therapies (phototherapy synergistic with chemotherapy, phototherapy synergistic with immunotherapy, etc.) have received increasing attention. In particular, light in the near-infrared second region (NIR-II) has triggered great research interest due to its penetration depth, minimal tissue autofluorescence, and reduced tissue absorption and scattering. Nanomaterials with many advantages, such as high brightness, great photostability, tunable photophysical properties, and excellent biosafety offer unlimited possibilities and are being investigated for NIR-II tumor imaging-guided synergistic oncotherapy. In recent years, many researchers have tried various approaches to investigate nanomaterials, including gold nanomaterials, two-dimensional materials, metal sulfide oxides, polymers, carbon nanomaterials, NIR-II dyes, and other nanomaterials for tumor diagnostic and therapeutic integrated nanoplatform construction. In this paper, the application of multifunctional nanomaterials in tumor NIR-II imaging and collaborative therapy in the past three years is briefly reviewed, and the current research status is summarized and prospected, with a view to contributing to future tumor therapy.

Abstract
Nanoprobes for efficient tumor-targeted imaging and therapy are urgently needed for clinical tumor theranostics. Herein, inspired by the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment, we report a covalent organic framework (COF)-derived biomimetic nanozyme for precise tumor-targeted imaging and NIR-II photothermal-catalysis-enhanced chemotherapy (PTCEC). Using a crystalline nanoscale COF as the precursor, a peroxidase-like porous N-doped carbonous nanozyme (PNC) was obtained, which was cloaked with an M1 macrophage cell membrane (M1m) to create a multifunctional biomimetic nanoprobe for tumor-targeted imaging and therapy. The M1m coating enabled the nanoprobe to target cancer cells and tumor tissues for highly efficient tumor imaging and drug delivery. The peroxidase-like activity of the PNC allowed for the conversion of intratumoral H2O2 into toxic ˙OH that synergized with its NIR-II photothermal effect to strengthen the chemotherapy. Therefore, highly efficient tumor-targeted imaging and NIR-II PTCEC were realized with an M1 macrophage mimic nanoprobe. This work provides a feasible tactic for a biomimetic theranostic nanoprobe and will inspire the development of new bioactive nanomaterials for clinical tumor theranostic applications.

Abstract
Cytoskeleton plays a significant role in the shape change, migration, movement, adhesion, cytokinesis, and phagocytosis of tumor cells. In clinical practice, some anti-cancer drugs achieve cytoskeletal therapeutic effects by acting on different cytoskeletal protein components. However, in the absence of cell-specific targeting, unnecessary cytoskeletal recombination in organisms would be disastrous, which would also bring about severe side effects during anticancer process. Nanomedicine have been proven to be superior to some small molecule drugs in cancer treatment due to better stability and targeting, and lower side effects. Therefore, this review summarized the recent developments of various nanomaterials disturbing cytoskeleton for enhanced cancer therapeutics, including carbon, noble metals, metal oxides, black phosphorus, calcium, silicon, polymers, peptides, and metal-organic frameworks, etc. A comprehensive analysis of the characteristics of cytoskeleton therapy as well as the future prospects and challenges towards clinical application were also discussed. We aim to drive on this emerging topic through refreshing perspectives based on our own work and what we have also learnt from others. This review will help researchers quickly understand relevant cytoskeletal therapeutic information to further advance the development of cancer nanomedicine.

Abstract
Biological hazards caused by bacteria, viruses, and toxins have become a major survival and development issue facing the international community. However, the traditional method of disinfection and sterilization is helpless in dealing with viruses that spread quickly and are highly infectious. Metal-organic framework (MOF) biocidal materials hold promise as superior alternatives to traditional sterilization materials because of their stable framework structures and unique properties. Now, we demonstrate for the first time the synthesis of a MOF (TIBT-Cu) containing Cu metal centers and tetraiodo-4,4'-bi-1,2,4-triazole as the main ligand. This novel MOF biocidal material has good thermal stability (Td = 278 °C), excellent mechanical sensitivity, and a high bacteriostatic efficiency (>99.90%). Additionally, the particles produced by the combustion of TIBT-Cu are composed of active iodine substances and CuO particles, which can act synergistically against harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. This study provides a new perspective for the preparation of highly effective bactericidal materials.

Abstract
Hierarchical carbon nanocages as emerging nanomaterials have a great potential for photothermal therapy due to their unique porous structure, high specific surface area, and excellent photothermal property. Herein, a hierarchical nitrogen-doped carbon nanocage (hNCNC) is introduced as a second near-infrared photothermal agent, and then functionalizes it with metal-organic hydrogel (MOG) to form a thermal-responsive switch for sensitized photothermal therapy. Upon 1064 nm light irradiation, the hNCNCs exhibit a remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency of 65.9% owing to a high near-infrared extinction coefficient. Meanwhile, due to the hierarchical structure, hNCNCs show 60.2% (wt./wt.) loading efficiency of quercetin, a heat shock protein (Hsp70) inhibitor. Through thermal-driven dry-gel transformation, the coating MOGs intelligently release the encapsulated quercetin for sensitizing cancer cells to heat. Based on the synergistic effect of hyperthermia elevation and thermal-driven drug release, the dual thermal utilization platform achieves effective photothermal tumor ablation in vivo under low concentration of hNCNCs and mild irradiation, which provides a new diagram of intelligent responsive photothermal agents for enhanced photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Tumor recurrence and a lack of bone-tissue integration are two critical concerns in the surgical treatment of osteosarcoma. Thus, an advanced multifunctional therapeutic platform capable of simultaneously eliminating residual tumor cells and promoting bone regeneration is urgently needed for efficient osteosarcoma treatment. Herein, to thoroughly eliminate tumors and simultaneously promote bone regeneration, an intelligent multifunctional therapeutic scaffold has been engineered by integrating microwave-responsive zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) nanomaterials loaded with a chemotherapeutic drug and an immune checkpoint inhibitor onto 3D-printed titanium scaffolds. The constructed scaffold features distinct microwave-thermal sensitization and tumor microenvironment-responsive characteristics, which can induce tumor immunogenic death by microwave hyperthermia and chemotherapy. Orthotopic implantation of the nanocomposite scaffold results in an enhanced immune response against osteosarcoma that may effectively inhibit tumor recurrence through synergistic immunotherapy. During long-term implantation, the zinc ions released from the degradation of ZIF-8 can induce the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. The porous structure and mechanical properties of the 3D-printed titanium scaffolds provide a structural microenvironment for bone regeneration. This study provides a paradigm for the design of multifunctional microwave-responsive composite scaffolds for use as a therapy for osteosarcoma, which could lead to improved strategies for the treatment of the disease.

Ni/Mn-Complex-Tethered Tetranuclear Polyoxovanadates: Crystal Structure and Inhibitory Activity on Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HepG-2). Molecules 2023; 28:6843. [PMID: 37836686 PMCID: PMC10574323 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28196843] [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: 08/26/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) exhibit unique structural characteristics and excellent physical and chemical properties, which have attracted significant attention from scholars in the fields of anticancer research and chemotherapy. Herein, we successfully synthesized and structurally characterized two novel polyoxovanadates (POVs), denoted as POVs-1 and POVs-2, where [M(1-vIM)4]2[VV4O12]·H2O (M: NiII and MnII, 1-vinylimidazole abbreviated as 1-vIM) serve as ligands. The two POVs are isomeric and consist of fundamental structural units, each comprising one [V4O12]4- cluster, two [M(1-vIM)4]2+ cations, and one water molecule. Subsequently, we evaluated the cell viability of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2) cells treated with the synthesized POVs using the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazoliumbromide) assay. And the changes in cell nucleus morphology, mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), and reactive oxygen species levels in HepG-2 exposed to POVs were monitored using specific fluorescent staining techniques. Both hybrid POVs showed potent inhibitory activities, induing apoptosis in HepG-2 cells along with significant mitochondria dysfunction and a burst of reactive oxygen species. Notably, the inhibitory effects of POVs-2 were more pronounced than those of POVs-1, which is primarily attributed to the different transition metal ions present. These findings underscore the intricate relationship between the metal components, structural characteristics, and the observed antitumor activities in HepG-2 cells.

Abstract
Bacterial infections pose a significant threat to global public health; therefore, the development of novel therapeutics is urgently needed. Herein, a controllable antibacterial nanoplatform utilizing cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (CD-MOFs) as a template to synthesize ultrafine silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in their porous structure is constructed. Subsequently, polydopamine (PDA) is encapsulated on the CD-MOFs' surface via dopamine polymerization to enhance the water stability and enable hyperthermia capacity. The resulting Ag@MOF@PDA generates localized hyperthermia and gradually releases Ag+ to achieve long-term photothermal-chemical bactericidal capability. The release rate of Ag+ can be accelerated by NIR-mediated heating in a controllable manner, quickly reaching the effective concentration and reducing the frequency of medication to avoid potential toxicity. In vitro experiments demonstrate that the combined antibacterial strategy can not only effectively kill both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, but also directly eradicate mature biofilms. In vivo results confirm that both bacterial- and biofilm-infected wounds treated with a combination of Ag@MOF@PDA and laser exhibit satisfactory recovery with minimal toxicity, displaying a superior therapeutic effect compared to other groups. Together, the results warrant that the Ag@MOF@PDA realizes synergistic antibacterial capacity and controllable release of Ag+ to combat bacterial and biofilm infections, providing a potential antibiotic-free alternative in the "post-antibiotic era."

Abstract
Metal agents have made incredible strides in preclinical research and clinical applications in recent years, but their short emission/absorption wavelengths continue to be a barrier to their distribution, therapeutic action, visual tracking, and efficacy evaluation. Nowadays, the near-infrared window (NIR, 650-1700 nm) provides a more accurate imaging and treatment option. Thus, there has been ongoing research focusing on developing multifunctional NIR metal agents for imaging and therapy that have deeper tissue penetration. The design, characteristics, bioimaging, and therapy of NIR metal agents are covered in this overview of papers and reports published to date. To start with, we focus on describing the structure, design strategies, and photophysical properties of metal agents from the NIR-I (650-1000 nm) to NIR-II (1000-1700 nm) region, in order of molecular metal complexes (MMCs), metal-organic complexes (MOCs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Next, the biomedical applications brought by these superior photophysical and chemical properties for more accurate imaging and therapy are discussed. Finally, we explore the challenges and prospects of each type of NIR metal agent for future biomedical research and clinical translation.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) demonstrate strong potential in biosample separation. However, the obtained MOFs powders are unsuitable for recovery techniques in an aqueous solution, especially the challenges of withdrawing MOFs particles and expanding their functions for specific applications. Herein, a general strategy is designed utilizing metal oxide-nanochannel arrays as precursors and templates for in-situ selective growth of MOFs structures. The exemplary MOFs (Ni-bipy) with tailored composition are selectively grown in NiO/TiO2 nanochannel membrane (NM) using NiO as the sacrificial precursor, which enables one to achieve a ∼262 times concentration of histidine-tagged proteins within 100 min. The significantly improved adsorption efficiency in a wide pH range and the effective enrichment from a complex matrix as a nanofilter illustrate the great potential of MOFs in nanochannels membranes for the high-efficiency recovery of essential proteins in complex biological samples. The porous self-aligned Ni-MOFs/TiO2 NM exhibits biocompatibility and flexible functionalities, which is desirable for the generation of multifunctional nanofilter devices and developing biomacromolecule delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Metal complexes have shown promise as photosensitizers for cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. However, the vast majority of metal photosensitizers are not ideal and associated with several limitations including pharmacokinetic limitations, off-target toxicity, fast systemic clearance, poor membrane permeability, and hypoxic tumour microenvironments. Metal complex functionalized nanomaterials have the potential to construct multifunctional systems, which not only overcome the above defects of metal complexes but are also conducive to modulating the tumour microenvironment (TME) and employing combination therapies to boost photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy. In this review, we first introduce the current challenges of photodynamic therapy and summarize the recent research strategies (such as metal coordination bonds, self-assembly, π-π stacking, physisorption, and so on) used for preparing metal complexes functionalized nanomaterials in the application of PDT.

Abstract
Type I photosensitizers (PSs) with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature have received sustained attention for their excellent theranostic performance in the treatment of clinical diseases. However, the development of AIE-active type I PSs with strong reactive oxygen species (ROS) production capacity remains a challenge due to the lack of in-depth theoretical studies on the aggregate behavior of PSs and rational design strategies. Herein, we proposed a facile oxidization strategy to enhance the ROS generation efficiency of AIE-active type I PSs. Two AIE luminogens, MPD and its oxidized product MPD-O were synthesized. Compared with MPD, the zwitterionic MPD-O showed higher ROS generation efficiency. The introduction of electron-withdrawing oxygen atoms results in the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the molecular stacking of MPD-O, which endowed MPD-O with more tightly packed arrangement in the aggregate state. Theoretical calculations demonstrated that more accessible intersystem crossing (ISC) channels and larger spin-orbit coupling (SOC) constants provide further explanation for the superior ROS generation efficiency of MPD-O, which evidenced the effectiveness of enhancing the ROS production ability by the oxidization strategy. Moreover, DAPD-O, a cationic derivative of MPD-O, was further synthesized to improve the antibacterial activity of MPD-O, showing excellent photodynamic antibacterial performance against methicillin-resistant S. aureus both in vitro and in vivo. This work elucidates the mechanism of the oxidization strategy for enhancing the ROS production ability of PSs and offers a new guideline for the exploitation of AIE-active type I PSs.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a promising platform for nanomedicine, while developing multifunctional COF nanoplatforms remains challenging due to the lack of efficient strategies for COF modification. Herein, we propose a nanozyme bridging (NZB) strategy for COF functionalization. Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) as catalase mimics were in situ grown on the surface of COF NPs without reducing their drug loading capacity (CP), and thiol-terminated aptamer was further densely decorated onto CP NPs via a stable Pt-S bond (CPA). Pt nanozyme engineering and aptamer functionalization rendered the nanoplatform with excellent photothermal conversion, tumor targeting, and catalase-like catalytic performances. Using clinical-approved photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) as a model drug, we fabricated a nanosystem (ICPA) for tumor-targeted self-strengthening therapy. ICPA can effectively accumulate into tumor tissue and relieve the hypoxia microenvironment by decomposing the overexpressed H2O2 and generating O2. Under monowavelength NIR light irradiation, the catalase-like catalytic and singlet oxygen generation activities of ICPA can be significantly strengthened, leading to admirable photocatalytic treatment effects against malignant cells as well as tumor-bearing mice in a self-strengthening manner.

Abstract
Epigenetic-alterations-mediated antigenicity reducing in leukemic blasts (LBs) is one of the critical mechanisms of immune escape and resistance to T-cell-based immunotherapy. Herein, a bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF)-based biomimetic nanoplatform (termed as AFMMB) that consists of a DNA hypomethylating agent, a leukemia stem cell (LSC) membrane, and pro-autophagic peptide is fabricated. These AFMMB particles selectively target not only LBs but also LSCs due to the homing effect and immune compatibility of the LSC membrane, and induce autophagy by binding to the Golgi-apparatus-associated protein. The autophagy-triggered dissolution of AFMMB releases active components, resulting in the restoration of the stimulator of interferon genes pathway by inhibiting DNA methylation, upregulation of major histocompatibility complex class-I molecules, and induction of RNA-methylation-mediated decay of programmed cell death protein ligand transcripts. These dual epigenetic changes eventually enhance T-cell-mediated immune response due to increased antigenicity of leukemic cells. AFMMB also can suppress growth and metastases of solid tumor, which was suggestive of a pan-cancer effect. These findings demonstrate that AFMMB may serve as a promising new nanoplatform for dual epigenetic therapy against cancer and warrants clinical validation.

Abstract
Uniting photothermal therapy (PTT) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) holds great potential in nanotheranostics. However, the extensively utilized hydrophobicity-driven assembling strategy not only restricts the intramolecular motion-induced PTT, but also blocks the interactions between MR agents and water. Herein, we report an aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen)-mediated polyelectrolyte nanoassemblies (APN) strategy, which bestows a unique "soft" inner microenvironment with good water permeability. Femtosecond transient spectra verify that APN well activates intramolecular motion from the twisted intramolecular charge transfer process. This de novo APN strategy uniting synergistically three factors (rotational motion, local motion, and hydration number) brings out high MR relaxivity. For the first time, APN strategy has successfully modulated both intramolecular motion and magnetic relaxivity, achieving fluorescence lifetime imaging of tumor spheroids and spatio-temporal MRI-guided high-efficient PTT.

Abstract
Conventional cancer therapies, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, can have long-term side effects. Phototherapy has significant potential as a non-invasive alternative treatment with excellent selectivity. Nevertheless, its applicability is restricted by the availability of effective photosensitizers and photothermal agents, and its low efficacy when it comes to avoiding metastasis and tumor recurrence. Immunotherapy can promote systemic antitumoral immune responses, acting against metastasis and recurrence; however, it lacks the selectivity displayed by phototherapy, sometimes leading to adverse immune events. The use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the biomedical field has grown significantly in recent years. Due to their distinct properties, including their porous structure, large surface area, and inherent photo-responsive properties, MOFs can be particularly useful in the fields of cancer phototherapy and immunotherapy. MOF nanoplatforms have successfully demonstrated their ability to address several drawbacks associated with cancer phototherapy and immunotherapy, enabling an effective and low-side-effect combinatorial synergistical treatment for cancer. In the coming years, new advancements in MOFs, particularly regarding the development of highly stable multi-function MOF nanocomposites, may revolutionize the field of oncology.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy has been regarded as one of promising ways for tumor treatment. However, nanoagents with highly efficient thermal conversion and good bio-compatibility are still needed to be developed in biomedicine. In this work, we prepared two-dimensional heterostructures with bismuth selenide and tungsten selenide nanosheets as photothermal nanoagents. Near-infrared photothermal conversion of selenide heterostructure nanosheets can reach up to 40.75% under 808 nm excitation. It is known that selenium is a critical element to human health. More importantly, our experiments with mice show that the heterostructure nanosheets have low toxicity and high biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo. The nanoagents based on heterostructures can effectively realize photothermal tumor ablation. It is suggested that the developed selenide nanosheets have great potential application in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Manipulating Fenton chemistry in tumor microenvironment (TME) for the generation of reactive oxygen species is an effective strategy for chemodynamic therapy. However, this is usually restricted by limited intracellular content of H2O2 and insufficient acidic environment at the tumor site. Herein, a ferric metal-organic framework (MOF) is covalently grafted with a prodrug of cisplatin (Pt(IV) prodrug) and loaded with a biocatalyst glucose oxidase (GOx) to afford a nanozyme MOF-Pt(IV)@GOx for cascade reactions. In this system, the attached Pt(IV) prodrug on MOF plays a significant role in the cooperative enhancement of GOx loading and chemotherapy. The high concentration of glutathione in TME reduces Fe(III) to Fe(II) for Fenton reaction, and converts Pt(IV) prodrug to cisplatin for DNA targeting and H2O2 production. Meanwhile, glucose oxidation catalyzed by GOx not only consumes glucose for starvation therapy, but also promotes the intracellular acidity and H2O2 supply in TME, which are in favor of Fenton reaction. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that MOF-Pt(IV)@GOx enables remarkable anticancer efficacy due to the synergistic trimodal therapy consisting of ferroptosis, starvation therapy, and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance of bacteria and persistent inflammation are critical challenges in treating bacteria infected wounds. Thus, it is urgent to develop versatile wound dressings that possess high-efficiency antibacterial performance and inflammation regulation. Herein, we have successfully constructed a hydrogel wound dressing consisting of the bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx), termed as MOF(Fe-Cu)/GOx-polyacrylamide (PAM) gel. Hydrogel dressings can provide an efficient cascade-catalyzed system to accelerate wound healing via synergistic antibacterial and inflammatory modulation. Importantly, the catalytic property of the bimetallic MOF(Fe-Cu) is about five times that of the monometallic MOF(Fe). Based on such a cascade-catalyzed system, the abundant gluconic acid and H2O2 can be continuously produced by decomposing glucose via GOx. Such gluconic acid can notably improve the peroxidase performance of MOF(Fe-Cu), which can further efficiently decompose H2O2 to achieve the antibacterial. Meanwhile, MOF (Fe Cu)/GOx PAM gel can induce macrophages to change into an M2 phenotype, which can accelerate the transformation of the wound microenvironment to a remodeling state and then accelerate angiogenesis and neurogenesis. This work provides multifunctional bioactive materials for accelerating wound healing and will have great potential in clinical applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Antibiotic resistance and persistent inflammation are still the critical reasons for the slow healing of bacteria infected wounds. Herein, we prepared a hydrogel wound dressing composed of bimetallic metal organic framework (MOF) loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx). The catalytic activity of the bimetallic MOF(Fe-Cu) is significantly enhanced due to doping of copper, which makes it possess outstanding antibacterial ability based on cascade catalysis. Such dressing can promote the remodeling of inflammatory immunity by regulating macrophage polarization to suppress over-reactive inflammation, further accelerating the healing of bacteria-infected wounds. This study provides an innovative and effective way to accelerate the healing of bacteria infected wound by combining bacteria killing and inflammation modulation.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been applied in cancer treatment because of its high selectivity, low toxicity, and non-invasiveness. However, the limited penetration depth of the light still hampers from reaching deep-seated tumors. Considering the penetrating ability of high-energy radiotherapy, X-ray-induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) has evolved as an alternative to overcome tissue blocks. As the basic principle of X-PDT, X-rays stimulate the nanoparticles to emit scintillating or persistent luminescence and further activate the photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which would cause a series of molecular and cellular damages, immune response, and eventually break down the tumor tissue. In recent years, catalytic nanosystems with unique structures and functions have emerged that can enhance X-PDT therapeutic effects via an immune response. The anti-cancer effect of X-PDT is closely related to the following factors: energy conversion efficiency of the material, the radiation dose of X-rays, quantum yield of the material, tumor resistance, and biocompatibility. Based on the latest research in this field and the classical theories of nanoscience, this paper systematically elucidates the current development of the X-PDT and related immunotherapy, and highlights its broad prospects in medical applications, discussing the connection between fundamental science and clinical translation.

Abstract
Lactate, a characteristic metabolite of the tumor microenvironment (TME), drives immunosuppression and promotes tumor progression. Material-engineered strategies for intratumoral lactate modulations demonstrate their promise for tumor immunotherapy. However, understanding of the inherent interconnections of material-enabled lactate regulation, metabolism, and immunity in the TME is scarce. To address this issue, urchin-like catalysts of the encapsulated Gd-doped CeO2 , syrosingopine, and lactate oxidase are used in ZIF-8 (USL, where U, S, and L represent the urchin-like Gd-doped CeO2 @ZIF-8, syrosingopine, and lactate oxidase, respectively) and orthotopic tumor models. The instructive relationships of intratumoral lactate depletion, metabolic reprogramming, and immune activation for catalytic immunotherapy of tumors is illustrated. The catalysts efficiently oxidize intratumoral lactate and significantly promote tumor cell apoptosis by in situ-generated ·OH, thereby reducing glucose supply and inducing mitochondrial damage via lactate depletion, thus reprogramming glycometabolism. Subsequently, such catalytic metabolic reprogramming evokes both local and systemic antitumor immunity by activating M1-polarizaed macrophages and CD8+ T cells, leading to potent antitumor immunity. This study provides valuable mechanistic insights into material-interfered tumor therapy through intratumoral lactate depletion and consequential connection with metabolic reprogramming and immunity remodeling, which is thought to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Abstract
An active targeting strategy-enabled DNA tetrahedron delivery vehicle could facilitate stable drug encapsulation and stimuli-responsive on-demand release, building a universal platform for different drug delivery requirements. Owing to the excellent biocompatible nature, programmability and remarkable cell and tissue permeability, the tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) has proven its value in the delivery of various bioactive molecules. We previously described this as a static multifunctional complex in our earlier protocol. However, static structures and passive targeting behavior might introduce off-target effects under complicated biological conditions. Therefore, in this Protocol Extension, we present a major update of the TDN delivery vehicle enabling an active targeting strategy to be used for stimuli-sensitive conformation changes and on-site cargo release, which could avoid drawbacks, including complex and time-consuming fabrication processes and undetermined cell penetration ability of other DNA-based delivery vehicles. Upon exquisite design of TDN size based on cargo type, one-pot annealing is applied to fabricate the Tiamat-designed TDN exoskeleton. Then the design of the dynamic DNA apparatus can be based on the target and environmental stimuli, including DNA strand hybridization-based and pH-sensitive DNA apparatus, and careful titration of strand lengths and mismatches is achieved using polyacrylamide and agarose gel electrophoresis, or fluorophore modifications. Finally, cargo loading strategies are designed, including site and stand titration and cargo encapsulation verification. The dynamic structures show promising targetability and effectiveness in antitumor and anti-inflammatory treatment in vitro and in vivo. Assembly and characterization in the lab takes ~5 d, and the timing for the verification of biostability and biological applications depends on the uses.

NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2023; 5:361-367.

Abstract
Activatable photodynamic cancer cell ablation constitutes a promising approach to performing highly effective photodynamic therapy (PDT) with mitigated phototoxicity. Regretfully, so far strategies to fabricate activatable PDT agents are only applicable to a limited number of photosensitizers (PSs). Herein, an activatable photodynamic cancer cell ablation platform that can be adopted for versatile PSs is presented. Thereinto, by engineering an iron(iii) carboxylate-based metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-101(Fe), with DNA grafted after PS loading, both hydrophilic and hydrophobic PSs can undergo negligible unspecific leakage and significant suppression of photosensitization during delivery. Following the reaction between MIL-101 and H2O2 whose level is greatly increased inside the tumor, MIL-101 is selectively degraded to release the loaded PDT agents and recover their photosensitization, controllably killing cancer cells upon H2O2 activation. Such a strategy assisted by a DNA-functionalized MOF significantly expands the varieties of PSs applicable for activatable PDT.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex disease associated with a combination of abnormal physiological process and exhibiting dysfunctions in multiple systems. To provide effective treatment and diagnosis for cancer, current treatment strategies simultaneously focus on various tumor targets. Based on the rapid development of nanotechnology, nanocarriers have been shown to exhibit excellent potential for cancer therapy. Compared with nanoparticles with single functions, multifunctional nanoparticles are believed to be more aggressive and potent in the context of tumor targeting. However, the development of multifunctional nanoparticles is not simply an upgraded version of the original function, but involves a sophisticated system with a proper backbone, optimized modification sites, simple preparation method, and efficient function integration. Despite this, many well-designed multifunctional nanoparticles with promising therapeutic potential have emerged recently. Here, to give a detailed understanding and analyzation of the currently developed multifunctional nanoparticles, their platform structures with organic or inorganic backbones were systemically generalized. We emphasized on the functionalization and modification strategies, which provide additional functions to the nanoparticle. We also discussed the application combination strategies that were involved in the development of nanoformulations with functional crosstalk. This review thus provides an overview of the construction strategies and application advances of multifunctional nanoparticles.

Abstract
As a burgeoning bioorthogonal reaction, the fluoride-mediated desilylation is capable of prodrug activation. However, due to the reactions lack of cell selectivity and unitary therapy modality, this strongly impedes their biomedical applications. Herein, we construct a cancer cell-selective biomimetic metal-organic framework (MOF)-F platform for prodrug activation and enhanced synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT). With cancer cell membranes camouflage, the designed biomimetic nanocatalyst displays preferential accumulation to homotypic cancer cells. Then, pH-responsive nanocatalyst releases fluoride ions and ferric ions. For activation of our designed prodrug tert-butyldimethyl silyl (TBS)-hydroxycamptothecin (TBSO-CPT), fluoride ions can desilylate TBS and cleave the designed silyl ether linker to synthesize the OH-CPT (10-hydroxycamptothecin) drug molecule, which effectively kills cancer cells. Intriguingly, the bioorthogonal-synthesized OH-CPT drug upregulates intracellular H2O2 by activating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX), amplifying the released iron induced Fenton reaction for synergistic CDT. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate our strategy presents a versatile fluoride-activated bioorthogonal catalyst for cancer cell-selective drug synthesis. Our work may accelerate the biomedical applications of fluoride-activated bioorthogonal chemistry.
