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

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202406909.

Abstract
We report a series of coordination cages that incorporate peptide chains at their vertices, prepared through subcomponent self-assembly. Three distinct heterochiral tripeptide subcomponents were incorporated, each exhibiting an L-D-L stereoconfiguration. Through this approach, we prepared and characterized three tetrahedral metal-peptide cages that incorporate thiol and methylthio groups. The gelation of these cages was probed through the binding of additional metal ions, with the metal-peptide cages acting as junctions, owing to the presence of sulfur atoms on the peripheral peptides. Gels were obtained with cages bearing cysteine at the C-terminus. Our strategy for developing functional metal-coordinated supramolecular gels with a modular design may result in the development of materials useful for chemical separations or drug delivery.

Abstract
Artificial enzymes with high stability, adjustable catalytic activity, controllable preparation, and good reproducibility have been widely studied. Noble metal nanozymes, particularly gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), exhibit good catalytic activity, but their stability is poor. In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was used as a carrier for Au NPs, thus improving the utilization efficiency and conservation stability of the nanozymes. A ZIF-8/Au nanocomposite with peroxidase activity and a raspberry-shaped structure was synthesized. In the assay, ZIF-8/Au catalyzed the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to a blue product oxidized TMB (oxTMB). Glutathione (GSH) selectively inhibited this reaction, with a detection limit of 0.28 µM and linear range of 0.5-60 µM. Using the photo and chromaticity analysis functions, we developed a portable analysis method using a smartphone equipped with a camera module as a detection terminal for a wide range of rapid screening techniques for GSH. Preparation of raspberry-shaped ZIF-8/Au improved the catalytic activity of Au NPs and good results were demonstrated in serum, which suggests their promising application under physiological conditions.

Novel Palladium Hydride Surface Enabling Simultaneous Bacterial Killing and Osteogenic Formation through Proton Capturing and Activation of Antioxidant System in Immune Microenvironments.

Abstract
Achieving bacterial killing and osteogenic formation on an implant surface rarely occurs. In this study, a novel surface design-a palladium hydride (PdHx) film that enables these two distinct features to coexist is introduced. The PdHx lattice captures protons in the extracellular microenvironment of bacteria, disrupting their normal metabolic activities, such as ATP synthesis, nutrient co-transport, and oxidative stress. This disruption leads to significant bacterial death, as evidenced by RNA sequence analysis. Additionally, the unique enzymatic activity and hydrogen-loading properties of PdHx activate the human antioxidant system, resulting in the rapid clearance of reactive oxygen species. This process reshapes the osteogenic immune microenvironment, promoting accelerated osteogenesis. These findings reveal that the downregulation of the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway is critical for activating immune cells toward M2 phenotype polarization. This novel surface design provides new strategies for modifying implant coatings to simultaneously prevent bacterial infection, reduce inflammation, and enhance tissue regeneration, making it a noteworthy contribution to the field of advanced materials.

A nanozyme-functionalized bilayer hydrogel scaffold for modulating the inflammatory microenvironment to promote osteochondral regeneration. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:445.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of osteochondral defects caused by trauma, arthritis or tumours is increasing annually, but progress has not been made in terms of treatment methods. Due to the heterogeneous structure and biological characteristics of cartilage and subchondral bone, the integration of osteochondral repair is still a challenge. RESULTS In the present study, a novel bilayer hydrogel scaffold was designed based on anatomical characteristics to imitate superficial cartilage and subchondral bone. The scaffold showed favourable biocompatibility, and the addition of an antioxidant nanozyme (LiMn2O4) promoted reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging by upregulating antioxidant proteins. The cartilage layer effectively protects against chondrocyte degradation in the inflammatory microenvironment. Subchondral bionic hydrogel scaffolds promote osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by regulating the AMPK pathway in vitro. Finally, an in vivo rat preclinical osteochondral defect model confirmed that the bilayer hydrogel scaffold efficiently promoted cartilage and subchondral bone regeneration. CONCLUSIONS In general, our biomimetic hydrogel scaffold with the ability to regulate the inflammatory microenvironment can effectively repair osteochondral defects. This strategy provides a promising method for regenerating tissues with heterogeneous structures and biological characteristics.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging of nanozymes toward acute kidney injury (AKI) is a current promising strategy, however, the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) limits their application for treating kidney related diseases. Here, a neutrophil-mediated delivery system able to hijack neutrophil to transport nanozyme-loaded cRGD-liposomes to inflamed kidney for AKI treatment by cRGD targeting integrin αvβ1 is reported. The neutrophil-mediated nanozyme delivery system demonstrated great antioxidant and anti-apoptosis ability in HK-2 and NRK-52E cell lines. Moreover, in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) induced AKI mice, a single dose of LM@cRGD-LPs 12 h post-ischemia significantly reduces renal function indicators, alleviates renal pathological changes, and inhibits apoptosis of renal tubular cells and the expression of renal tubular injured marker, thus remarkably reducing the damage of AKI. Mechanistically, the treatment of LM@cRGD-LPs markedly inhibits the process of Nrf2 to the nucleus and reduces the expression of the downstream HO-1, achieves a 99.51% increase in renal tissue Nrf2 levels, and an 86.31% decrease in HO-1 levels after LM@cRGD-LPs treatment. In short, the strategy of neutrophil-mediated nanozyme delivery system hold great promise as a potential therapy for AKI or other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) nanozymes are demonstrated as effective therapeutics for ulcerative colitis (UC), yet an unmet practical challenge remains in the scalable production of these nanozymes and uncertainty over their efficacy. With a novel approach, a series of porous manganese-iron PB (MnPB) colloids, which are shown to be efficient scavengers for reactive oxygen species (ROS) including hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion, and hydrogen peroxide, are prepared. In vitro cellular experiments confirm the capability of the nanozyme to protect cells from ROS attack. In vivo, the administration of MnPB nanozyme through gavage at a dosage of 10 mg kg-1 per day for three doses in total potently ameliorates the pathological symptoms of acute UC in a murine model, resulting in mitigated inflammatory responses and improved viability rate. Significantly, the nanozyme produced at a large scale can be achieved at an unprecedented yield weighting ≈11 g per batch of reaction, demonstrating comparable anti-ROS activities and treatment efficacy to its small-scale counterpart. This work represents the first demonstration of the scale-up preparation of PB analog nanozymes for UC without compromising treatment efficacy, laying the foundation for further testing of these nanozymes on larger animals and promising clinical translation.

Abstract
The precise regulation of nanoenzyme activity is of great significance for application to biosensing analysis. Herein, the peroxidase-like activity of carbon dots was effectively modulated by doping phosphorus, which was successfully employed for sensitive, selective detection of acid phosphatase (ACP). Phosphorus-doped carbon dots (P-CDs) with excellent peroxidase-like activity were synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal method, and the catalytic activity could be easily modulated by controlling the additional amount of precursor phytic acid. P-CDs could effectively catalyze the oxidation of colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue TMB oxidation products in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. While ACP was able to catalyze the hydrolysis of L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate trisodium salt (AAP) to produce ascorbic acid (AA), which inhibited the peroxidase-like activity of P-CDs, by combining P-CDs nanoenzymes and ACP-catalyzed hydrolysis the colorimetric method was established for ACP detection. The absorbance variation showed a good linear relationship with ACP concentration in the range of 0.4-4.0 mU/mL with a limit of detection at 0.12 mU/mL. In addition, the method was successfully applied to detect ACP in human serum samples with recoveries in the range of 98.7-101.6%. The work provides an effective strategy for regulating nanoenzymes activity and a low-cost detection technique for ACP.

Abstract
Nanozymes, as a type of nanomaterials with enzymatic catalytic activity, have demonstrated tremendous potential in cancer treatment owing to their unique biomedical properties. However, the heterogeneity of tumors and the complex tumor microenvironment pose significant challenges to the in vivo catalytic efficacy of traditional nanozymes. Drawing inspiration from natural enzymes, scientists are now using biomimetic design to build nanozymes from the ground up. This approach aims to replicate the key characteristics of natural enzymes, including active structures, catalytic processes, and the ability to adapt to the tumor environment. This achieves selective optimization of nanozyme catalytic performance and therapeutic effects. This review takes a deep dive into the use of these biomimetically designed nanozymes in cancer treatment. It explores a range of biomimetic design strategies, from structural and process mimicry to advanced functional biomimicry. A significant focus is on tweaking the nanozyme structures to boost their catalytic performance, integrating them into complex enzyme networks similar to those in biological systems, and adjusting functions like altering tumor metabolism, reshaping the tumor environment, and enhancing drug delivery. The review also covers the applications of specially designed nanozymes in pan-cancer treatment, from catalytic therapy to improved traditional methods like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and sonodynamic therapy, specifically analyzing the anti-tumor mechanisms of different therapeutic combination systems. Through rational design, these biomimetically designed nanozymes not only deepen the understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of nanozyme structure and performance but also adapt profoundly to tumor physiology, optimizing therapeutic effects and paving new pathways for innovative cancer treatment.

Abstract
Chronic wounds frequently arise as a complication in diabetic patients, and their management remains a significant clinical hurdle due to their nonhealing nature featured by heightened oxidative stress and impaired healing cells at the wound site. Herein, we present a 2D copper antioxidant nanozyme induced by phenolic ligand-metal charge transfer (LMCT) to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and facilitate the healing of chronic diabetic wounds. We found that polyphenol ligands coordinated on the Cu3(PO4)2 nanosheets led to a strong charge transfer at the interface and regulated the valence states of Cu. The obtained Cu nanozyme exhibited efficient scavenging ability toward different oxidative species and protected human cells from oxidative damage. The nanozyme enhanced the healing of diabetic wounds by promoting re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and immunoregulation. This work demonstrates the LMCT-induced ROS scavenging ability on a nanointerface, providing an alternative strategy of constructing metal-based nanozymes for the treatment of diabetic wounds as well as other diseases.

Abstract
Nanozymes have great potential to be used as an alternative to natural enzymes in a variety of fields. However, low catalytic activity compared with natural enzymes limits their practical use. It is still challenging to design nanozymes comparable to their natural counterparts in terms of the specific activity. In this study, a surface engineering strategy is employed to improve the specific activity of Ru nanozymes using charge-transferrable ligands such as polystyrene sulfonate (PSS). PSS-modified Ru nanozyme exhibits a peroxidase-like specific activity of up to 2820 U mg-1 , which is twice that of horseradish peroxidase (1305 U mg-1 ). Mechanism studies suggest that PSS readily accepts negative charge from Ru, thus reducing the affinity between Ru and ·OH. Importantly, the modified Ru-peroxidase nanozyme is successfully used to develop an immunoassay for human alpha-fetoprotein and achieves a 140-fold increase in detection sensitivity compared with traditional horseradish-peroxidase-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Therefore, this work provides a feasible route to design nanozymes with high specific activity that meets the practical use as an alternative to natural enzymes.

Abstract
Mimicking efficient biocatalytic cascades using nanozymes has gained enormous attention in catalytic chemistry, but it remains challenging to develop a nanozyme-based cascade system to sequentially perform the desired reactions. Particularly, the integration of sequential hydrolysis and oxidation reactions into nanozyme-based cascade systems has not yet been achieved, despite their significant roles in various domains. Herein, a self-cascade Ce-MOF-818 nanozyme for sequential hydrolysis and oxidation reactions is developed. Ce-MOF-818 is the first Ce(IV)-based heterometallic metal-organic framework constructed through the coordination of Ce and Cu to distinct groups. It is successfully synthesized using an improved solvothermal method, overcoming the challenge posed by the significant difference in the binding speeds of Ce and Cu to ligands. With excellent organophosphate hydrolase-like (Km = 42.3 µM, Kcat = 0.0208 min-1 ) and catechol oxidase-like (Km = 2589 µM, Kcat = 1.25 s-1 ) activities attributed to its bimetallic active centers, Ce-MOF-818 serves as a promising self-cascade platform for sequential hydrolysis and oxidation. Notably, its catalytic efficiency surpasses that of physically mixed nanozymes by approximately fourfold, owning to the close integration of active sites. The developed hydrolysis-oxidation self-cascade nanozyme has promising potential applications in catalytic chemistry and provides valuable insights into the rational design of nanozyme-based cascade systems.

Abstract
Nanozymes with intrinsic enzyme-mimicking activities have shown great potential to become surrogates of natural enzymes in many fields by virtue of their advantages of high catalytic stability, ease of functionalization, and low cost. However, due to the lack of predictable descriptors, most of the nanozymes reported in the past have been obtained mainly through trial-and-error strategies, and the catalytic efficacy, substrate specificity, as well as practical application effect under physiological conditions, are far inferior to that of natural enzymes. To optimize the catalytic efficacies and functions of nanozymes in biomedical settings, recent studies have introduced biosystem-inspired strategies into nanozyme design. In this review, recent advances in the engineering of biosystem-inspired nanozymes by leveraging the refined catalytic structure of natural enzymes, simulating the behavior changes of natural enzymes in the catalytic process, and mimicking the specific biological processes or living organisms, are introduced. Furthermore, the currently involved biomedical applications of biosystem-inspired nanozymes are summarized. More importantly, the current opportunities and challenges of the design and application of biosystem-inspired nanozymes are discussed. It is hoped that the studies of nanozymes based on bioinspired strategies will be beneficial for constructing the new generation of nanozymes and broadening their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Metabolism is the sum of the enzyme-dependent chemical reactions, which produces energy in catabolic process and synthesizes biomass in anabolic process, exhibiting high similarity in mammalian cell, microbial cell, and plant cell. Consequently, the loss or gain of metabolic enzyme activity greatly affects cellular metabolism. Nanozymes, as emerging enzyme mimics with diverse functions and adjustable catalytic activities, have shown attractive potential for metabolic regulation. Although the basic metabolic tasks are highly similar for the cells from different species, the concrete metabolic pathway varies with the intracellular structure of different species. Here, the basic metabolism in living organisms is described and the similarities and differences in the metabolic pathways among mammalian, microbial, and plant cells and the regulation mechanism are discussed. The recent progress on regulation of cellular metabolism mainly including nutrient uptake and utilization, energy production, and the accompanied redox reactions by different kinds of oxidoreductases and their applications in the field of disease therapy, antimicrobial therapy, and sustainable agriculture is systematically reviewed. Furthermore, the prospects and challenges of nanozymes in regulating cell metabolism are also discussed, which broaden their application scenarios.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2308477. [PMID: 37985164 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202308477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
Severe systemic inflammation following myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of patient mortality. MI-induced inflammation can trigger the production of free radicals, which in turn ultimately leads to increased inflammation in cardiac lesions (i.e., inflammation-free radicals cycle), resulting in heart failure and patient death. However, currently available anti-inflammatory drugs have limited efficacy due to their weak anti-inflammatory effect and poor accumulation at the cardiac site. Herein, a novel Fe-Cur@TA nanozyme is developed for targeted therapy of MI, which is generated by coordinating Fe3+ and anti-inflammatory drug curcumin (Cur) with further modification of tannic acid (TA). Such Fe-Cur@TA nanozyme exhibits excellent free radicals scavenging and anti-inflammatory properties by reducing immune cell infiltration, promoting macrophage polarization toward the M2-like phenotype, suppressing inflammatory cytokine secretion, and blocking the inflammatory free radicals cycle. Furthermore, due to the high affinity of TA for cardiac tissue, Fe-Cur@TA shows an almost tenfold greater in cardiac retention and uptake than Fe-Cur. In mouse and preclinical beagle dog MI models, Fe-Cur@TA nanozyme preserves cardiac function and reduces scar size, suggesting promising potential for clinical translation in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Scavenging free radicals and reducing inflammatory reaction to relieve the secondary damage are important issues in the spinal cord injury (SCI) therapeutic strategy. Nanozymes attract more attention in the drug development of SCI due to the high stability, long-lasting catalytic capacity, and multienzyme-like properties. Herein, we constructed a Rapamycin (Rapa)-loaded and hollow mesoporous Prussian blue (HMPB)-based nanozyme (RHPAzyme) to realize the combined antioxidation and anti-inflammation combination therapy of SCI. Furthermore, activated cell penetrating peptide (ACPP) is modified onto nanozyme to endow the effectively ability of lesion area-targeting. This RHPAzyme exhibits ROS scavenging capacity with the transformation of Fe2+/Fe3+ valance and cyanide group of HMPB to achieve multienzyme-like activity. As expected, RHPAzyme scavenges the ROS overproduction and reduces inflammation in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced damage via inhibiting MAPK/AKT signaling pathway. Furtherly, RHPAzyme exhibits the combined antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in vivo, which can effectively alleviate neuronal damage and promote motor function recovery in SCI mice. Overall, this study demonstrates the RHPAzyme induces an effective treatment of SCI by inhibiting oxygen-mediated cell apoptosis and suppressing inflammation-induced injury, thus reduces the nervous impairment and promotes motor function recovery.

We then discuss the types of MSNs-based nanostructured architectures, as well as the classification of MSNs-based nanocomposites according to the elements existed in various inorganic functional components. Subsequently, we summarize the primary purposes of surface-functionalized modifications of MSNs. In the following, we discuss the biomedical applications of MSNs, and highlight the MSNs-based targeted therapeutic modalities currently developed. Given the importance of clinical translation, we also summarize the progress of MSNs in clinical trials. Finally, we take a perspective on the future direction and remaining challenges of MSNs in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Since the catalyst's surface was the major active location, the inner structure's contribution to catalytic activity was typically overlooked. Here, ZnO-Co3O4-v nanozymes with several surfaces and bulk oxygen vacancies were created. The O atoms of H2O2 moved inward to preferentially fill the oxygen vacancies in the interior and form new "lattice oxygen" by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth analysis and X-ray absorption fine structure. The internal Co2+ continually transferred electrons to the surface for a continuous catalytic reaction, which generated a significant amount of reactive oxygen species. Inner and outer double-layer electron cycles accompanied this process. A three-dimensional model of ZnO-Co3O4-v was constructed using virtual reality interactive modelling technology to illustrate nanozyme catalysis. Moreover, the bactericidal rate of ZnO-Co3O4-v for Methionine-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Multiple drug resistant Escherichia coli was as high as 99%. ZnO-Co3O4-v was biocompatible and might be utilized to heal wounds following Methionine-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. This work offered a new idea for nanozymes to replace of conventional antibacterial medications.

Abstract
Enzyme mimics (EMs) with intrinsic catalysis activity have attracted enormous interest in biomedicine. However, there is a lack of environmentally adaptive EMs for sensitive diagnosis and specific catalytic therapeutics in simultaneous manners. Herein, the coordination modulation strategy is designed to synthesize silicon-based phosphorescence enzyme-mimics (SiPEMs). Specifically, the atomic-level engineered Co-N4 structure in SiPEMs enables the environment-adaptive peroxidase, oxidase, and catalase-like activities. More intriguingly, the internal Si-O networks are able to stabilize the triplet state, exhibiting long-lived phosphorescence with lifetime of 124.5 ms, suitable for millisecond-range time-resolved imaging of tumor cells and tissue in mice (with high signal-to-background ratio values of ∼60.2 for in vitro and ∼611 for in vivo). Meanwhile, the SiPEMs act as an oxidative stress amplifier, allowing the production of ·OH via cascade reactions triggered by the tumor microenvironment (∼136-fold enhancement in peroxidase catalytic efficiency); while the enzyme-mimics can scavenge the accumulation of reactive oxygen species to alleviate the oxidative damage in normal cells, they are therefore suitable for environment-adaptive catalytic treatment of cancer in specific manners. We innovate a systematic strategy to develop high-performance enzymemics, constructing a promising breakthrough for replacing traditional enzymes in cancer treatment applications.

Abstract
As an acute ophthalmic infection, bacterial keratitis (BK) can lead to severe visual morbidity, such as corneal perforation, intraocular infection, and permanent corneal opacity, if rapid and effective treatments are not available. In addition to eradicating pathogenic bacteria, protecting corneal tissue from oxidative damage and promoting wound healing by relieving inflammation are equally critical for the efficient treatment of BK. Besides, it is very necessary to improve the bioavailability of drugs by enhancing the ocular surface adhesion and corneal permeability. In this investigation, therefore, a synergistic antibiotic-antioxidant treatment of BK was achieved based on multifunctional block copolymer vesicles, within which ciprofloxacin (CIP) was simultaneously encapsulated during the self-assembly. Due to the phenylboronic acid residues in the corona layer, these vesicles exhibited enhanced muco-adhesion, deep corneal epithelial penetration, and bacteria-targeting, which facilitated the drug delivery to corneal bacterial infection sites. Additionally, the abundant thioether moieties in the hydrophobic membrane enabled the vesicles to both have ROS-scavenging capacity and accelerated CIP release at the inflammatory corneal tissue. In vivo experiments on a mice model demonstrated that the multifunctional polymer vesicles achieved efficient treatment of BK, owing to the enhanced corneal adhesion and penetration, bacteria targeting, ROS-triggered CIP release, and the combined antioxidant-antibiotic therapy. This synergistic strategy holds great potential in the treatment of BK and other diseases associated with bacterial infections.

Abstract
Enveloped viruses encased within a lipid bilayer membrane are highly contagious and can cause many infectious diseases like influenza and COVID-19, thus calling for effective prevention and inactivation strategies. Here, we develop a diatomic iron nanozyme with lipoxidase-like (LOX-like) activity for the inactivation of enveloped virus. The diatomic iron sites can destruct the viral envelope via lipid peroxidation, thus displaying non-specific virucidal property. In contrast, natural LOX exhibits low antiviral performance, manifesting the advantage of nanozyme over the natural enzyme. Theoretical studies suggest that the Fe-O-Fe motif can match well the energy levels of Fe2 minority β-spin d orbitals and pentadiene moiety π* orbitals, and thus significantly lower the activation barrier of cis,cis-1,4-pentadiene moiety in the vesicle membrane. We showcase that the diatomic iron nanozyme can be incorporated into air purifier to disinfect airborne flu virus. The present strategy promises a future application in comprehensive biosecurity control.

Abstract
Efficiently balancing excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by various factors on the ocular surface is a promising strategy for preventing the development of ocular surface diseases (OSDs). Nevertheless, the conventional topical administration of antioxidants is limited in efficacy due to poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and irreversible depletion, which impede their performance. To address this issue, contact lenses embedded with antioxidant nanozymes that can continuously scavenge ROS, thereby providing an excellent preventive effect against OSDs are developed. Specifically, Prussian blue family nanozymes are chosen based on their multiple antioxidant enzyme-like activities and excellent biocompatibility. The diverse range of colors made them promising candidates for the development of cosmetic contact lenses (CCLs) as a substitute for conventional pigments. The efficacy of nanozyme-CCLs is demonstrated in rabbits and rats exposed to a high risk of developing OSDs. These OSDs' prevention nanozyme-CCLs can pave the way for CCLs toward powerful wearable biomedical devices and provide novel strategies for the rational utilization of nanomaterials in clinical practice.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects millions of individuals worldwide annually. Enteric reactive oxygen species (ROS) play critical roles in the physiology and pathology of IBD. Nanozymes hold great promise for the treatment of IBD because of their exceptional ability to regulate redox homeostasis during ROS-related inflammation. However, the rapid development of orally administered, acid-tolerant, antioxidant nanozymes for IBD therapy is challenging. Here, a nine-tier high-throughput screening strategy is established to address the multifaceted IBD treatment demands, including intrinsic stability, radioactivity, solubility, gut microbiome toxicity, biomimetic elements, intermediate frontier molecular orbitals, reaction energy barriers, negative charges, and acid tolerance. Ni3 S4 is selected as the best matching material from 146 323 candidates, which exhibits superoxide dismutase-catalase bienzyme-like activity and is 3.13- and 1.80-fold more active than natural enzymes. As demonstrated in a mouse model, Ni3 S4 is stable in the gastrointestinal tract without toxicity and specifically targets the diseased colon to alleviate oxidative stress. RNA and 16S rRNA sequencing analyses show that Ni3 S4 effectively inhibits the cellular pathways of pro-inflammatory factors and restores the gut microbiota. This study not develops a highly efficient orally administered cascade nanozyme for IBD therapy and offers a next-generation paradigm for the rational design of nanomedicine through data-driven approaches.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common inflammatory disease of especially high recurrence rate (90%) which is suffered by approximately 3% of the world population. The overexpression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a critical role in psoriasis progress. Here we show that biomimetic iron single-atom catalysts (FeN4O2-SACs) with broad-spectrum ROS scavenging capability can be used for psoriasis treatment and relapse prevention via related gene restoration. FeN4O2-SACs demonstrate attractive multiple enzyme-mimicking activities based on atomically dispersed Fe active structures, which are analogous to those of natural antioxidant enzymes, iron superoxide dismutase, human erythrocyte catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase. Further, in vitro and in vivo experiments show that FeN4O2-SACs can effectively ameliorate psoriasis-like symptoms and prevent the relapse with augmented efficacy compared with the clinical drug calcipotriol. Mechanistically, estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) is identified as the core protein upregulated in psoriasis treatment through RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. Together, this study provides a proof of concept of psoriasis catalytic therapy (PCT) and multienzyme-inspired bionics (MIB).

Abstract
Nanozymes have captured significant attention as a versatile and promising alternative to natural enzymes in catalytic applications, with wide-ranging implications for both diagnosis and therapy. However, the limited selectivity exhibited by many nanozymes presents challenges to their efficacy in diagnosis and raises concerns regarding their impact on the progression of disease treatments. In this article, we explore the latest innovations aimed at enhancing the selectivity of nanozymes, thereby expanding their applications in theranostic nanoplatforms. We place paramount importance on the critical development of highly selective nanozymes and present innovative strategies that have yielded remarkable outcomes in augmenting selectivities. The strategies encompass enhancements in analyte selectivity by incorporating recognition units, refining activity selectivity through the meticulous control of structural and elemental composition, integrating synergistic materials, fabricating selective nanomaterials, and comprehensively fine-tuning selectivity via approaches such as surface modification, cascade nanozyme systems, and manipulation of external stimuli. Additionally, we propose optimized approaches to propel the further advancement of these tailored nanozymes while considering the limitations associated with existing techniques. Our ultimate objective is to present a comprehensive solution that effectively addresses the limitations attributed to non-selective nanozymes, thus unlocking the full potential of these catalytic systems in the realm of theranostics.

Abstract
Deficient catalytic sensitivity to the tumor microenvironment is a major obstacle to nanozyme-mediated tumor therapy. Electron transfer is the intrinsic essence for a nanozyme-catalyzed redox reaction. Here, we developed a nanohole-array-induced metallic molybdenum selenide (n-MoSe2) that is enriched with Se vacancies and can serve as an electronic transfer station for cycling electrons between H2O2 decomposition and glutathione (GSH) depletion. In a MoSe2 nanohole array, the metallic phase reaches up to 84.5%, which has been experimentally and theoretically demonstrated to exhibit ultrasensitive H2O2 responses and enhanced peroxidase (POD)-like activities for H2O2 thermodynamic heterolysis. More intriguingly, plenty of delocalized electrons appear due to phase- and vacancy-facilitated band structure reconstruction. Combined with the limited characteristic sizes of nanoholes, the surface plasmon resonance effect can be excited, leading to the broad absorption spectrum spanning of n-MoSe2 from the visible to near-infrared region (NIR) for photothermal conversion. Under NIR laser irradiation, metallic MoSe2 is able to induce out-of-balance redox and metabolism homeostasis in the tumor region, thus significantly improving therapeutic effects. This study that takes advantage of phase and defect engineering offers inspiring insights into the development of high-efficiency photothermal nanozymes.

Abstract
Fenton-like radical processes are widely utilized to explain catalytic mechanisms of peroxidase-like nanozymes, which exhibit remarkable catalytic activity, cost-effectiveness, and stability. However, there is still a need for a comprehensive understanding of the formation, stabilization, and transformation of such radicals. Herein, a copper formate-based nanozyme (Cuf-TMB) was fabricated via a pre-catalytic strategy under ambient conditions. The as-prepared nanozyme shows comparable catalytic activity (Km, 1.02 × 10-5 mM-1; Kcat, 3.09 × 10-2 s-1) and kinetics to those of natural peroxidase toward H2O2 decomposition. This is attributed to the feasible oxidation by *OH species via the *O intermediate, as indicated by density functional theory calculations. The key ·OH radicals were detected to be stable for over 52 days and can be released in a controlled manner during the catalytic process via in situ electron spin-resonance spectroscopy measurements. Based on the understanding, an ultrasensitive biosensing platform was constructed for the sensitive monitoring of biochemical indicators in clinic settings.

Abstract
Metal oxide nanozymes have emerged as the most efficient and promising candidates to mimic antioxidant enzymes for treatment of oxidative stress-mediated pathophysiological disorders, but the current effectiveness is unsatisfactory due to insufficient catalytic performance. Here, we report for the first time an intrinsic strain-mediated ultrathin ceria nanoantioxidant. Surface strain in ceria with variable thicknesses and coordinatively unsaturated Ce sites was investigated by theoretical calculation analysis and then was validated by preparing ∼1.2 nm ultrathin nanoplates with ∼3.0% tensile strain in plane/∼10.0% tensile strain out of plane. Compared with nanocubes, surface strain in ultrathin nanoplates could enhance the covalency of the Ce-O bond, leading to increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mimetic activity by ∼2.6-fold (1533 U/mg, in close proximity to that of natural SOD) and total antioxidant activity by ∼2.5-fold. As a proof of concept, intrinsic strain-mediated ultrathin ceria nanoplates could boost antioxidation for improved ischemic stroke treatment in vivo, significantly better than edaravone, a commonly used clinical drug.

Abstract
Senescent cells are the critical drivers of atherosclerosis formation and maturation. Mitigating senescent cells holds promise for the treatment of atherosclerosis. In an atherosclerotic plaque microenvironment, senescent cells interact with reactive oxygen species (ROS), promoting the disease development. Here, we hypothesize that a cascade nanozyme with antisenescence and antioxidant activities can serve as an effective therapeutic for atherosclerosis. An integrated cascade nanozyme with superoxide dismutase- and glutathione peroxidase-like activities, named MSe1 , is developed in this work. The obtained cascade nanozyme can attenuate human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) senescence by protecting DNA from damage. It significantly weakens inflammation in macrophages and HUVECs by eliminating overproduced intracellular ROS. Additionally, the MSe1 nanozyme effectively inhibits foam cell formation in macrophages and HUVECs by decreasing the internalization of oxidized low-density lipoprotein. After intravenous administration, the MSe1 nanozyme significantly inhibits the formation of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/- ) mice by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation and then decreases the infiltration of inflammatory cells and senescent cells in atherosclerotic plaques. This study not only provides a cascade nanozyme but also suggests that the combination of antisenescence and antioxidative stress holds considerable promise for treating atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Nanozymes, nanomaterials with enzyme-mimicking activity, have attracted tremendous interest in recent years owing to their ability to replace natural enzymes in various biomedical applications, such as biosensing, therapeutics, drug delivery, and bioimaging. In particular, the nanozymes capable of regulating the cellular redox status by mimicking the antioxidant enzymes in mammalian cells are of great therapeutic significance in oxidative-stress-mediated disorders. As the distinction of physiological oxidative stress (oxidative eustress) and pathological oxidative stress (oxidative distress) occurs at a fine borderline, it is a great challenge to design nanozymes that can differentially sense the two extremes in cells, tissues and organs and mediate appropriate redox chemical reactions. In this Review, we summarize the advances in the development of redox-active nanozymes and their biomedical applications. We primarily highlight the therapeutic significance of the antioxidant and prooxidant nanozymes in various disease model systems, such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular diseases. The future perspectives of this emerging area of research and the challenges associated with the biomedical applications of nanozymes are described.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2302335.

Abstract
High-entropy alloys nanoparticles (HEANPs) are receiving extensive attention due to their broad compositional tunability and unlimited potential in bioapplication. However, developing new methods to prepare ultra-small high-entropy alloy nanoparticles (US-HEANPs) faces severe challenges owing to their intrinsic thermodynamic instability. Furthermore, there are few reports on studying the effect of HEANPs in tumor therapy. Herein, the fabricated PtPdRuRhIr US-HEANPs act as bifunctional nanoplatforms for the highly efficient treatment of tumors. The US-HEANPs are engineered by the universal metal-ligand cross-linking strategy. This simple and scalable strategy is based on the aldol condensation of organometallics to form the target US-HEANPs. The synthesized US-HEANPs exhibit excellent peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity and can catalyze the endogenous hydrogen peroxide to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals. Furthermore, the US-HEANPs possess a high photothermal conversion effect for converting 808 nm near-infrared light into heat energy. In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that under the synergistic effect of POD-like activity and photothermal action, the US-HEANPs can effectively ablate cancer cells and treat tumors. It is believed that this work not only provides a new perspective for the fabrication of HEANPs, but also opens the high-entropy nanozymes research direction and their biomedical application.

Abstract
Constructing highly effective biocatalysts with controllable coordination geometry for eliminating reactive oxygen species (ROS) to address the current bottlenecks in stem-cell-based therapeutics remains challenging. Herein, inspired by the coordination structure of manganese-based antioxidase, we report a manganese-coordinated polyphthalocyanine-based biocatalyst (Mn-PcBC) with axial Mn-N5 sites and 2D d-π-conjugated networks that serves as an artificial antioxidase to rescue stem cell fate. Owing to the unique chemical and electronic structures, Mn-PcBC displays efficient, multifaceted, and robust ROS-scavenging activities, including elimination of H2 O2 and O2 ⋅- . Consequently, Mn-PcBC efficiently rescues the bioactivity and functionality of stem cells in high-ROS-level microenvironments by protecting the transcription of osteogenesis-related genes. This study offers essential insight into the crucial functions of axially coordinated Mn-N5 sites in ROS scavenging and suggests new strategies to create efficient artificial antioxidases for stem-cell therapies.

Abstract
Local geometric configurations of metal cations in inorganic enzyme mimics determine their catalytic behaviors, while their optimization remains challenging. Herein, kaolinite, a naturally layered clay mineral, achieves the optimization of cationic geometric configuration in manganese ferrite. We demonstrate that the exfoliated kaolinite induces the formation of defective manganese ferrite and makes more iron cations fill into the octahedral sites, significantly enhancing the multiple enzyme-mimicking activities. The steady-state kinetic assay results show that the catalytic constant of composites toward 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and H2O2 are more than 7.4- and 5.7-fold higher than manganese ferrite, respectively. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the outstanding enzyme-mimicking activity of composites is attributed to the optimized iron cation geometry configuration, which has a higher affinity and activation ability toward H2O2 and lowers the energy barrier of key intermediate formation. As a proof of concept, the novel structure with multiple enzyme-mimicking activities amplifies the colorimetric signal, realizing the ultrasensitive visual detection of disease marker acid phosphatase (ACP), with a detection limit of 0.25 mU/mL. Our findings provide a novel strategy for the rational design of enzyme mimics and an in-depth investigation of their enzyme-mimicking properties.

Abstract
Oral antioxidant nanozymes bring great promise for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment. To efficiently eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS), various metal-based nanozymes have been developed for the treatment of IBD but their practical applications are seriously impaired by unstable ROS-eliminating properties and potential metal ion leakage in the digestive tract. Here, the authors for the first time propose metal-free melanin nanozymes (MeNPs) with excellent gastrointestinal stability and biocompatibility as a favorable therapy strategy for IBD. Moreover, MeNPs have extremely excellent natural and long-lasting characteristics of targeting IBD lesions. In view of the dominant role of ROS in IBD, the authors further reveal that oral administration of MeNPs can greatly alleviate the six major pathological features of IBD: oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, apoptosis, inflammation, gut barrier disruption, and gut dysbiosis. Overall, this strategy highlights the great clinical application prospects of metal-free MeNPs via harnessing ROS scavenging at IBD lesions, offering a paradigm for antioxidant nanozyme in IBD or other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
The overexpression of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) in the colonic mucosa destroys the mucosa and its barrier, accelerating the occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The elimination of RONS from the inflammatory colon has proven effective in alleviating IBD. Although many nanoantioxidants have been developed, preparing robust and efficient nano-antioxidants remains challenging. Herein, by modifying bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) nanodiscs with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), a multifunctional nanozyme based on 2D nanomaterials was developed for the treatment of IBD. By eliminating multiple RONS, such as hydroxyl radicals (•OH), superoxide anions (O2-•), nitric oxide (NO), and Bi2Se3 nanodiscs enhanced cellular survival after H2O2 stimulation. As evidenced by colonic injury, reduced body weight, spleen index, and proinflammatory cytokine levels in mice, RONS clearance alleviated intestinal inflammation in a prevention and delay model of acute colitis. 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing reveals that Bi2Se3 nanodiscs had the potential to regulate intestinal flora, increase the proportion of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes, inhibit Proteobacteria bacteria, and restore intestinal homeostasis. This study highlights the use of Bi2Se3 nanodiscs with excellent biocompatibility, multienzyme functionality, and RONS scavenging ability as treatments for IBD without apparent adverse effects. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: RONS were efficiently scavenged by Bi2Se3 nanodiscs. Bi2Se3 nanodiscs could be as a promising and potentially safe theraeputic agent for IBD. The gut microbiota could be modulated by Bi2Se3 nanodiscs.

Abstract
Oxidative stress after ischemia reperfusion can cause irreversible brain damage. Thus, it is vital to timely consume excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and conduct molecular imaging monitoring on the brain injury site. However, previous studies have focused on how to scavenge ROS while ignoring the mechanism of relieving the reperfusion injury. Herein, we reported a layered double hydroxide (LDH)-based nanozyme (denoted as ALDzyme), which was fabricated by the confinement of astaxanthin (AST) with LDH. This ALDzyme can mimic natural enzymes, which include superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Furthermore, the SOD-like activity of ALDzyme is 16.3 times higher than that of CeO2 (a typical ROS scavenger). Based on these enzyme-mimicking properties, this one-of-a-kind ALDzyme offers strong anti-oxidative properties as well as high biocompatibility. Importantly, this unique ALDzyme can establish an efficient magnetic resonance imaging platform, thus guiding the in vivo details. As a result, the infarct area can be reduced by 77% after reperfusion therapy, and the neurological impairment score can be lowered from 3-4 to 0-1. Density functional theory computations can reveal more about the mechanism of this ALDzyme's significant ROS consumption. These findings provide a method for unraveling the neuroprotection application process in ischemia reperfusion injury using an LDH-based nanozyme as a remedial nanoplatform.

Abstract
Cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases are two major vascular-related diseases that lead to death worldwide. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a vital role in the occurrence and exacerbation of diseases. Excessive ROS induce cellular context damage and lead to tissue dysfunction. Nanozymes, as emerging enzyme mimics, offer a unique perspective for therapy through multifunctional activities, achieving essential results in the treatment of ROS-related cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases by directly scavenging excess ROS or regulating pathologically related molecules. This review first introduces nanozyme-enabled therapeutic mechanisms at the cellular level. Then, the therapies for several typical cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases with nanozymes are discussed, mainly including cardiovascular diseases, ischemia reperfusion injury, and neurological disorders. Finally, the challenges and outlooks for the application of nanozymes are also presented. This review will provide some instructive perspectives on nanozymes and promote the development of enzyme-mimicking strategies in cardio- and cerebrovascular disease therapy.

Natural Morin-Based Metal Organic Framework Nanoenzymes Modulate Articular Cavity Microenvironment to Alleviate Osteoarthritis. RESEARCH (WASHINGTON, D.C.) 2023; 6:0068. [PMID: 36930778 PMCID: PMC10013961 DOI: 10.34133/research.0068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is always characterized as excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside articular cavity. Mimicking natural metalloenzymes with metal ions as the active centers, stable metal organic framework (MOF) formed by natural polyphenols and metal ions shows great potential in alleviating inflammatory diseases. Herein, a series of novel copper-morin-based MOF (CuMHs) with different molar ratios of Cu2+ and MH were employed to serve as ROS scavengers for OA therapy. As a result, CuMHs exhibited enhanced dispersion in aqueous solution, improved biocompatibility, and efficient ROS-scavenging ability compared to MH. On the basis of H2O2-stimulated chondrocytes, intracellular ROS levels were efficiently declined and cell death was prevented after treated by Cu6MH (Cu2+ and MH molar ratio of 6:1). Meanwhile, Cu6MH also exhibited efficient antioxidant and anti-inflammation function by down-regulating the expression of IL6, MMP13, and MMP3, and up-regulating cartilage specific gene expression as well. Importantly, Cu6MH could repair mitochondrial function by increasing mitochondrial membrane potential, reducing the accumulation of calcium ions, as well as promoting ATP content production. In OA joint model, intra-articular (IA) injected Cu6MH suppressed the progression of OA. It endowed that Cu6MH might be promising nanoenzymes for the prevention and treatment of various inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Functional nanomaterials offer an attractive strategy to mimic the catalysis of natural enzymes, which are collectively called nanozymes. Although the development of nanozymes shows a trend of diversification of materials with enzyme-like activity, most nanozymes have been discovered via trial-and-error methods, largely due to the lack of predictive descriptors. To fill this gap, this work identified eg occupancy as an effective descriptor for spinel oxides with peroxidase-like activity and successfully predicted that the eg value of spinel oxide nanozymes with the highest activity is close to 0.6. The LiCo2O4 with the highest activity, which is finally predicted, has achieved more than an order of magnitude improvement in activity. Density functional theory provides a rationale for the reaction path. This work contributes to the rational design of high performance nanozymes by using activity descriptors and provides a methodology to identify other descriptors for nanozymes.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging therapy toward acute kidney injury (AKI) is promising, but no effective ROS scavenging drug has been developed yet. Moreover, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is also involved in AKI, but the corresponding therapies have not been well developed. To tackle these challenges, Mn3O4 nanoflowers (Nfs) possessing both ROS and cfDNA scavenging activities were developed for better AKI protection as follows. First, Mn3O4 Nfs could protect HK2 cells through cascade ROS scavenging (dismutating ·O2- into H2O2 by superoxide dismutase-like activity and then decomposing H2O2 by catalase-like activity). Second, Mn3O4 Nfs could efficiently adsorb cfDNA and then decrease the inflammation caused by cfDNA. Combined, remarkable therapeutic efficacy was achieved in both cisplatin-induced and ischemia-reperfusion AKI murine models. Furthermore, Mn3O4 Nfs could be used for the T1-MRI real-time imaging of AKI. This study not only offered a promising treatment for AKI but also showed the translational potential of nanozymes.

Abstract
Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) may generate deleterious effects on biomolecules, such as DNA damage, protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation, causing cell and tissue damage and eventually leading to the pathogenesis of diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, ischemia/reperfusion ((I/R)) injury, and inflammatory diseases. Therefore, the modulation of ROS can be an efficient means to relieve the aforementioned diseases. Several studies have verified that antioxidants such as Mitoquinone (a mitochondrial-targeted coenzyme Q10 derivative) can scavenge ROS and attenuate related diseases. Nanozymes, defined as nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like properties that also possess antioxidant properties, are hence expected to be promising alternatives for the treatment of ROS-related diseases. This review introduces the types of nanozymes with inherent antioxidant activities, elaborates on various strategies (eg, controlling the size or shape of nanozymes, regulating the composition of nanozymes and environmental factors) for modulating their catalytic activities, and summarizes their performances in treating ROS-induced diseases.
