Ageing Res Rev 2024; 98:102323. [PMID: 38734147 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102323] [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: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Oxidative stress is one of the main driving mechanisms of intervertebral disc degeneration(IDD). Oxidative stress has been associated with inflammation in the intervertebral disc, cellular senescence, autophagy, and epigenetics of intervertebral disc cells. It and the above pathological mechanisms are closely linked through the common hub reactive oxygen species(ROS), and promote each other in the process of disc degeneration and promote the development of the disease. This reveals the important role of oxidative stress in the process of IDD, and the importance and great potential of IDD therapy targeting oxidative stress. The efficacy of traditional therapy is unstable or cannot be maintained. In recent years, due to the rise of materials science, many bioactive functional materials have been applied in the treatment of IDD, and through the combination with traditional drugs, satisfactory efficacy has been achieved. At present, the research review of antioxidant bioactive materials in the treatment of IDD is not complete. Based on the existing studies, the mechanism of oxidative stress in IDD and the common antioxidant therapy were summarized in this paper, and the strategies based on emerging bioactive materials were reviewed.

Abstract
A tannate-iron network-derived peroxidase-like catalyst loaded with Fe ions on carbon nitride (C3N4) was reported for detection of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in food in this study. Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) was employed to form a low coordination compound on C3N4, and calcined catalyst formed hollow structure with abundant and uniform Fe sites and surface folds. CN-FeC exhibited significant peroxidase-like activity and high substrate affinity. The homogeneous distribution of amorphous Fe elements on the C3N4 substrate provides more active sites, resulting in provided excellent catalytic activity to activate H2O2 to ·OH, 1O2 and O2·-. The established CN-FeC/TMB/H2O2 colorimetric system can detect AA in the concentration range of 5-40 μM, with the detection limits of 1.40 μM, respectively. It has good accuracy for the detection of vitamin C tablets, beverages. Taken together, this work shows that metal-phenolic networks can be an effective way to achieve efficient utilization of metal atoms and provides a promising idea for metal-phenolic networks in nanoparticle enzyme performance enhancement.

Abstract
The removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions using microscale zerovalent iron (mZVI) shows promising potential. However, the surface passivation of mZVI particles hinders its widespread application. In this study, we prepared tannic acid (TA) modified mZVI composite (TA-mZVI) by a simple sonication method. The introduction of TA allowing TA-mZVI composite to adsorb Cr(VI) rapidly under electrostatic forces attraction, guarantying TA-mZVI exhibited remarkable Cr(VI) removal capacity with a maximum adsorption capacity of 106.1 mg⋅g-1. At an initial pH of 3, it achieved a rapid removal efficiency of 96.2% within just 5 min, which was 7.7 times higher than that of mZVI. Various characterizations, including XPS and CV analysis, indicated that the formation of TA-Fe complexes accelerates electron transfer. In addition, TA endows functional groups to TA-mZVI, raising the dispersion and stability and serves as a protective layer hindering passivation. Further mechanistic analysis revealed that Cr(VI) removal by TA-mZVI followed an adsorption-reduction-precipitation mechanism, with TA mitigating the surface passivation of mZVI and facilitating the reduction of most Cr(VI) to Cr(III). Batch cyclic experiments revealed that TA-mZVI exhibited satisfactory performance, maintaining over 85% Cr(VI) removal even after five cycles and minimally affected by various coexisting ions. With notable advantages in cost-effectiveness, ease-synthesis and recovery, this work provides a great promise for developing efficient reactive adsorbent for addressing Cr(VI) contamination in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The one-step assembly of metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) onto particle templates can enable the facile, rapid, and robust construction of hollow microcapsules. However, the required template removal step may affect the refilling of functional species in the hollow interior space or the in situ encapsulation of guest molecules during the formation of the shells. Herein, a simple strategy for the one-step generation of functional MPNs microcapsules is proposed. This method uses bovine serum albumin microbubbles (BSA MBs) as soft templates and carriers, enabling the efficient pre-encapsulation of guest species by leveraging the coordination assembly of tannic acid (TA) and FeIII ions. The addition of TA and FeIII induces a change in the protein conformation of BSA MBs and produces semipermeable capsule shells, which allow gas to escape from the MBs without template removal. The MBs-templated strategy can produce highly biocompatible capsules with controllable structure and size, and it is applicable to produce other MPNs systems like BSA-TA-CuII and BSA-TA-NiII . Finally, those MBs-templated MPNs capsules can be further functionalized or modified for the loading of magnetic nanoparticles and the pre-encapsulation of model molecules through covalence or physical adsorption, exhibiting great promise in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a significant contributor to low back pain, characterized by excessive reactive oxygen species generation and inflammation-induced pyroptosis. Unfortunately, there are currently no specific molecules or materials available to effectively delay IVDD. This study develops a multifunctional full name of PG@Cu nanoparticle network (PG@Cu). A designed pentapeptide, bonded on PG@Cu nanoparticles via a Schiff base bond, imparts multifunctionality to the metal polyphenol particles (PG@Cu-FP). PG@Cu-FP exhibits enhanced escape from lysosomal capture, enabling efficient targeting of mitochondria to scavenge excess reactive oxygen species. The scavenging activity against reactive oxygen species originates from the polyphenol-based structures within the nanoparticles. Furthermore, Pyroptosis is effectively blocked by inhibiting Gasdermin mediated pore formation and membrane rupture. PG@Cu-FP successfully reduces the activation of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 inflammasome by inhibiting Gasdermin protein family (Gasdermin D, GSDMD) oligomerization, leading to reduced expression of Nod-like receptors. This multifaceted approach demonstrates higher efficiency in inhibiting Pyroptosis. Experimental results confirm that PG@Cu-FP preserves disc height, retains water content, and preserves tissue structure. These findings highlight the potential of PG@Cu-FP in improving IVDD and provide novel insights for future research in IVDD treatments.

Abstract
Photothermal hydrogels featuring broadband light absorption abilities and highly hydrated networks provide an appealing mass-energy transfer platform for water evaporation by using solar energy. However, the targeted delivery of solar heat energy to power the water evaporation process remains challenging. Herein, enlightened by metal-phenolic coordination chemistry and camouflaged architecture, photothermal hydrogels with dual-mechanism vaporization structure are tactfully designed via a rational interfacial engineering and integration strategy to enable near-µm heat confinement and highly efficient light-to-heat conversion ability. The spectrum-tailored liquid metal droplet (LMGAs-FeIII ) and optimized carbon-wrapped silver nanowire sponge (Ag@C750 ) are integrally built as photothermal promotors/channels and jointly embedded into a highly hydratable poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel, denoted as PALGH, to synergistically boost water molecule activation and interfacial vaporization behavior by triggering robust photothermal performance. As a result, under one sun irradiation, the all-embracing PALGH hydrogel evaporation system achieves a brine evaporation rate to a high level of 3.47 kg m-2 h-1 , and >19 L m-2 clean water of PALGH is ideally delivered daily when purifying natural seawater. This work offers not only a rational design principle to create sophisticated photothermal materials but also replenishes insight into solar heat generation and water transportation in a cross-media system.

Abstract
Multifunctional materials based on polyoxovanadates (POVs) have rarely been reported. Herein, we used aryl sulfonium counterions (ASCIs) bearing a salicylaldehyde-type functionality to tune the properties of decavanadate ([V10O28]6-)-based hybrids for their application in photochromism and heterogeneous oxidative desulfurization (ODS) catalysis. The counterions FHPDS ((3-formyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)dimethylsulfonium), DFHPDS ((3,5-diformyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)dimethylsulfonium), and EFPDS ((4-ethoxy-3-formylphenyl)dimethylsulfonium) were clubbed with the decavanadate cluster to generate the hybrids (FHPDS)4[H2V10O28](H2O)4 (HY1), (DFHPDS)4[H2V10O28](H2O)3 (HY2), and (EFPDS)4[H2V10O28](H2O)6 (HY3). The photochromic properties of these hybrids were tested under 365 nm irradiation, which showed a color change from yellow to green. Different hybrids exhibited different photocoloration half-life (t1/2) values in the range of 0.77-28.38 min, suggesting the dependence of the photocoloration properties upon functional groups on the counterions. The hybrid HY2, having a 2,6-diformyl phenol moiety on the ASCI, exhibited an impressive t1/2 of 0.77 min. UP to 70% reversibility of photocoloration was achieved for the best photochromic hybrid HY2 in 48 h at 70 °C under an oxygen atmosphere. Theoretical and experimental data suggested that some of these aryl sulfonium POVs follow a different e--h+ stabilization mechanism than traditional sulfonium POM hybrids. Further, the salicylaldehyde-type ASCIs control the solubility of the decavanadate hybrids, which enables their application as heterogeneous catalysts for the selective oxidation of various sulfides. The nature of the substituents on the ASCIs also affected their catalytic activities; the counterion that facilitates the reversible V4+/V5+ switching enhances the catalytic ODS efficiency of the hybrids. Using HY2 as the catalyst, up to 99% conversion and 96% selectivity toward sulfones were achieved in dibenzothiophene (DBT) oxidation. The present study suggests a new promising approach for controlling POVs' photoresponsive and catalytic properties by using ASCIs bearing salicylaldehyde-type functional moieties.

Abstract
In this study, a new composite adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal was developed by immobilizing polyethyleneimine (PEI) on the surface of zero-valent iron (ZVI) particles with tannic acid (TA) as a stabilizer. The adsorbent (denoted as Fe-TA-PEI-10) was easy to prepare and regenerate, requiring no conditions for storage. It was found to be particularly effective for Cr(VI) removal from wastewater via reduction and adsorption. Electrochemical analysis revealed that TA significantly reduced the electron transfer resistance of Fe-TA-PEI-10 and reduced the highly toxic Cr(VI)to the less toxic Cr(III). In addition, PEI endowed amino groups to Fe-TA-PEI-10, raising the zero charge point (pHpzc) of Fe-TA-PEI-10 (pHpzc= 7.80), allowing it to adsorb Cr(VI) from the solution rapidly under electrostatic forces and chelating effects. The adsorption process was consistent with the pseudo-first-order model (R2 >0.99) and the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 >0.99), and the maximum adsorption capacity could reach 161.6 mg/g. In particular, this study presented for the first time that TA-modified Fe(0) had excellent stability in the air, and the adsorbent showed no decrease in performance for Cr(VI) removal even after exposure to the air for 30 days. When tested with a simulated electroplating rinsing wastewater, the Fe-TA-PEI-10 showed very high selectivity for Cr(VI) removal. The mechanism of Cr(VI) removal with Fe-TA-PEI-10 was found to be based on adsorption and reduction. This work provided a new scheme for developing efficient and long-lasting reactive adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease that is so far incurable with long-term health risks. The high doses and frequent administration for the available RA drug always lead to adverse side effects. Aiming at the obstacles to achieving effective RA treatment, we prepared macrophage cell membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles (M-EC), which were assembled from epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and cerium(IV) ions. Due to its geometrical similarity to the active metal sites of a natural antioxidant enzyme, the EC possessed a high scavenge efficiency to various types of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). The macrophage cell membrane assisted M-EC in escaping from the immune system, being uptaken by inflammatory cells, and specifically binding IL-1β. After tail vein injection to the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model, the M-EC accumulated at inflamed joints and effectively repaired the bone erosion and cartilage damage of rheumatoid arthritis by relieving synovial inflammation and cartilage erosion. It is expected that the M-EC can not only pave a new way for designing metal-phenolic networks with better biological activity but also provide a more biocompatible therapeutic strategy for effective treatment of RA.

Abstract
Flexible metal-organic materials are of growing interest owing to their ability to undergo reversible structural transformations under external stimuli. Here, we report flexible metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) featuring stimuli-responsive behavior to diverse solute guests. The competitive coordination of metal ions to phenolic ligands of multiple coordination sites and solute guests (e.g., glucose) primarily determines the responsive behavior of the MPNs, as revealed experimentally and computationally. Glucose molecules can be embedded into the dynamic MPNs upon mixing, leading to the reconfiguration of the metal-organic networks and thus changes in their physicochemical properties for targeting applications. This study expands the library of stimuli-responsive flexible metal-organic materials and the understanding of intermolecular interactions between metal-organic materials and solute guests, which is essential for the rational design of responsive materials for various applications.

Abstract
The complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) is featured by low pH values, high redox status, and hypoxia, which greatly supports the genesis, development, and metastasis of tumors, leading to drug resistance and clinical failure. Moreover, a lot of immunosuppressive cells infiltrate in such TME, resulting in depressing immunotherapy. Therefore, the development of TME-responsive nanoplatforms has shown great significance in enhancing cancer therapeutics. Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs)-based nanosystems, which self-assemble via coordination of phenolic materials and metal ions, have emerged as excellent TME theranostic nanoplatforms. MPNs have unique properties including fast preparation, tunable morphologies, pH response, and biocompatibility. Besides, functionalization and surface modification can endow MPNs with specific functions for application requirements. Here, the representative engineering strategies of various polyphenols are first introduced, followed by the introduction of the engineering mechanisms of polyphenolic nanosystems, fabrication, and distinct properties of MPNs. Then, their advances in TME modulation are highlighted, such as antiangiogenesis, hypoxia relief, combination therapy sensitization, and immunosuppressive TME reversion. Finally, we will discuss the challenges and future perspectives of MPNs-based nanosystems for enhancing cancer therapy. This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 319:115619.

Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) pose serious threats to both human and environmental health and therefore, effective and low-cost techniques to remove HMs are urgently required. Here we report a facile Fe-tannin coating method for zero-valent iron (ZVI) including nanoparticles (nZVI) and foam (Fefoam), and demonstrate that the generated Fe-tannin coating would remove the inherent passive iron oxide shell of ZVI and provide channels for the galvanic replacement reaction between ZVI and HM ions. Electrochemical characterizations demonstrate that the Fe core of the modified ZVI materials could be easily oxidized and transfer electrons to HM ions owing to the facile mass transport and charge transfer. In 40 min, nZVI@Fe-TA exhibits excellent performances for Cd(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Cu(II) and Cr(VI) removal, with the apparent removal rate constants of 0.083, 0.085, 0.083, 0.073, 0.092 and 0.078 min-1, respectively. It is found that the surface area normalized rate constants of nZVI@Fe-TA are 4-7 times higher than that of nZVI@Fe2O3 counterpart, suggesting that the improved HM removal reactivity of nZVI@Fe-TA is derived from the surface modification. Moreover, nZVI@Fe-TA has advantages in resisting interference and in the simultaneous removal of different HM ions. Under a 30 min hydraulic retention time, Fefoam@Fe-TA could remove 98% HMs in the successive process. For real electroplating wastewater, Fefoam@Fe-TA exhibits excellent performance for Cr(VI) and Ni(II) removal, producing effluent of stable quality that meets local emission regulation. This study provides a facile strategy to remove the inherent passive iron oxide shell and enhance the HM removal reactivity for ZVI materials.

Abstract
Droplet impact is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, daily life, and industrial processes. It is thus crucial to tune the impact outcomes for various applications. As a special outcome of droplet impact, the bouncing of droplets keeps the form of the droplets after the impact and minimizes the energy loss during the impact, being beneficial in many applications. A unified understanding of droplet bouncing is in high demand for effective development of new techniques to serve applications. This review shows the fundamentals, regulations, and applications of millimeter-sized droplet bouncing on solid surfaces and same/miscible liquids (liquid pool and another droplet). Regulation methods and current applications are summarized, and potential directions are proposed.

Abstract
Nonradical oxidation based on singlet oxygen (1O2) has attracted great interest in groundwater remediation due to the selective oxidation property and good resistance to background constituents. Herein, recoverable CuO nanoparticles (NPs) supported on mineral substrates (SiO2) were prepared by calcination of surface-coated metal-plant phenolic networks and explored for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation to generate 1O2 for degrading organic pollutants in groundwater. CuO NPs with a close particle size (40 nm) were spatially monodispersed on SiO2 substrates, allowing highly exposure of active sites and consequently leading to outstanding catalytic performance. Efficient removal of various organic pollutants was obtained by the supported CuO NPs/PMS system under wide operation conditions, e.g., working pH, background anions and natural organic matters. Chemical scavenging experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance tests, furfuryl alcohol decay and solvent dependency experiments confirmed the formation of 1O2 and its dominant role in pollutants removal. In situ characterization with ATR-FTIR and Raman spectroscopy and computational calculation revealed that a redox cycle of surface Cu(II)-Cu(III)-Cu(II) was responsible for the generation of 1O2. The feasibility of the supported CuO NPs/PMS for actual groundwater remediation was evaluated via a flow-through test in a fixed-bed column, which manifested long-term durability, high mineralization ratio and low metal ion leaching.

Abstract
Localized drug delivery from drug-eluting stents (DESs) to target sites provides therapeutic efficacy with minimal systemic toxicity. However, DESs failure may cause thrombosis, delay arterial healing, and impede re-endothelialization. Bivalirudin (BVLD) and nitric oxide (NO) promote arterial healing. Nevertheless, it is difficult to combine hydrophilic signal molecules with hydrophobic antiproliferative drugs while maintaining their bioactivity. Here, we fabricated a micro- to nanoscale network assembly consisting of copper ion and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) via π-π interactions, metal coordination, and oxidative polymerization. The network incorporated rapamycin and immobilized BVLD by the thiol-ene "click" reaction and provided sustained rapamycin and NO release. Unlike rapamycin-eluting stents, those coated with the EGCG-Cu-rapamycin-BVLD complex favored competitive endothelial cell (EC) growth over that of smooth muscle cells, exhibited long-term antithrombotic efficacy, and attenuated the negative impact of rapamycin on the EC. In vivo stent implantation demonstrated that the coating promoted endothelial regeneration and hindered restenosis. Therefore, the polyphenol-network-mediated surface chemistry can be an effective strategy for the engineering of multifunctional surfaces.

Abstract
Fluorinated motifs are promising for the engineering of repellent coatings, however, a fundamental understanding of how to effectively bind these motifs to various substrates is required to improve their stability in different use scenarios. Herein, the binding of fluorinated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) using a cyanoacrylate glue (binder) is computationally and experimentally evaluated. The composite POSS-binder coatings display ultralow surface energy (≈10 mJ m-2 ), while still having large surface adhesions to substrates (300-400 nN), highlighting that super-repellent coatings (contact angles >150°) can be readily generated with this composite approach. Importantly, the coatings show super-repellency to both corrosive liquids (e.g., 98 wt% H2 SO4 ) and ultralow surface tension liquids (e.g., alcohols), with ultralow roll-off angles (<5°), and tunable resistance to liquid penetration. Additionally, these coatings demonstrate the potential in effective cargo loading and robust self-cleaning properties, where experimental datasets are correlated with both relevant theoretical predictions and systematic all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of the repellent coatings. This work not only holds promise for chemical shielding, heat transfer, and liquid manipulations but offers a facile yet robust pathway for engineering advanced coatings by effectively combining components for their mutually desired properties.

Abstract
Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) are amorphous materials that can be used to engineer functional films and particles. A fundamental understanding of the heat-driven structural reorganization of MPNs can offer opportunities to rationally tune their properties (e.g., size, permeability, wettability, hydrophobicity) for applications such as drug delivery, sensing, and tissue engineering. Herein, we use a combination of single-molecule localization microscopy, theoretical electronic structure calculations, and all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to demonstrate that MPN plasticity is governed by both the inherent flexibility of the metal (FeIII)-phenolic coordination center and the conformational elasticity of the phenolic building blocks (tannic acid, TA) that make up the metal-organic coordination complex. Thermal treatment (heating to 150 °C) of the flexible TA/FeIII networks induces a considerable increase in the number of aromatic π-π interactions formed among TA moieties and leads to the formation of hydrophobic domains. In the case of MPN capsules, 15 min of heating induces structural rearrangements that cause the capsules to shrink (from ∼4 to ∼3 μm), resulting in a thicker (3-fold), less porous, and higher protein (e.g., bovine serum albumin) affinity MPN shell. In contrast, when a simple polyphenol such as gallic acid is complexed with FeIII to form MPNs, rigid materials that are insensitive to temperature changes are obtained, and negligible structural rearrangement is observed upon heating. These findings are expected to facilitate the rational engineering of versatile TA-based MPN materials with tunable physiochemical properties for diverse applications.

Abstract
Electrochemistry could play a critical role in the transition to a more sustainable society by enabling the carbon-neutral production and use of various chemicals as well as efficient use of renewable energy resources. A prerequisite for the practical application of various electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies is the development of efficient and robust electrocatalysts. Recently, molecularly designed heterogeneous catalysts have drawn great attention because they combine the advantages of both heterogeneous solid and homogeneous molecular catalysts. In particular, recently emerged metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) show promise as electrocatalysts for various electrochemical reactions owing to their unique features. They can be easily synthesized under mild conditions, making them eco-friendly, form uniform and conformal thin films on various kinds of substrates, accommodate various metal ions in a single-atom manner, and have excellent charge-transfer ability. In this minireview, we summarize the development of various MPN-based electrocatalysts for diverse electrochemical reactions, such as the hydrogen evolution reaction, the oxygen evolution reaction, the CO2 reduction reaction, and the N2 reduction reaction. We believe that this article provides insight into molecularly designable heterogeneous electrocatalysts based on MPNs and guidelines for broadening the applications of MPNs as electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The development of fluorescence labeling techniques has attracted widespread interest in various fields, including biomedical science as it can facilitate high-resolution imaging and the spatiotemporal understanding of various biological processes. We report a supramolecular fluorescence labeling strategy using luminescent metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) constructed from metal ions, phenolic ligands, and common and commercially available dyes. The rapid labeling process (<5 min) produces ultrathin coatings (≈10 nm) on diverse particles (e.g., organic, inorganic, and biological entities) with customized luminescence (e.g., red, blue, multichromatic, and white light) simply through the selection of fluorophores. The fluorescent coatings are stable at pH values from 1 to 8 and in complex biological media owing to the dominant π interactions between the dyes and MPNs. These coatings exhibit negligible cytotoxicity and their strong fluorescence is retained even when internalized into intracellular compartments. This strategy is expected to provide a versatile approach for fluorescence labeling with potential in diverse fields across the physical and life sciences.

Abstract
Surface chemistry is a major factor that determines the wettability of materials, and devising broadly applicable coating strategies that afford tunable and selective surface properties required for next-generation materials remains a challenge. Herein, we report fluorinated metal-organic coatings that display water-wetting and oil-repelling characteristics, a wetting phenomenon different from responsive wetting induced by external stimuli. We demonstrate this selective wettability with a library of metal-organic coatings using catechol-based coordination and silanization (both fluorinated and fluorine-free), enabling sensing through interfacial reconfigurations in both gaseous and liquid environments, and establish a correlation between the coating wettability and polarity of the liquids. This selective wetting performance is substrate-independent, spontaneous, durable, and reversible and occurs over a range of polar and nonpolar liquids (60 studied). These results provide insight into advanced liquid-solid interactions and a pathway toward tuning interfacial affinities and realizing robust, selective superwettability according to the surrounding conditions.
