Abstract
The effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in treating brain gliomas is limited by the solubility of photosensitizers and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), both of which are influenced by the concentration of photosensitizers and catalyst active sites. In this study, we developed a controllable surface hydroxyl concentration for the photosensitizer CN11 to address its poor water solubility issue and enhance PDT efficacy in tumor treatment. Compared to pure g-C3N4 (CN), CN11 exhibited 4.6 times higher hydrogen peroxide production under visible light, increased incidence of the n → π* electron transition, and provided more available reaction sites for cytotoxic ROS generation. These findings resulted in a 2.43-fold increase in photodynamic treatment efficacy against brain glioma cells. Furthermore, in vivo experiments conducted on mice demonstrated that CN11 could be excreted through normal cell metabolism with low cytotoxicity and high biosafety, effectively achieving complete eradication of tumor cells.

Abstract
Magnetic two-dimensional nanocomposites (M2D NCs) that synergistically combine magnetic nanomedicine and 2D nanomaterials have emerged in multimodal antitumor therapy, attracting great interest in materials science and biomedical engineering. This review provides a summary of the recent advances of M2D NCs and their multimodal antitumor applications. We first introduce the design and fabrication of M2D NCs, followed by discussing new types of M2D NCs that have been recently reported. Then, a detailed analysis and discussions about the different types of M2D NCs are presented based on the structural categories of 2D NMs, including 2D graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), transition metal carbides/nitrides/carbonitrides (MXenes), black phosphorus (BP), layered double hydroxides (LDHs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and other 2D nanomaterials. In particular, we focus on the synthesis strategies, magnetic or optical responsive performance, and the versatile antitumor applications, which include magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT), photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), drug delivery, immunotherapy and multimodal imaging. We conclude the review by proposing future developments with an emphasis on the mass production and biodegradation mechanism of the M2D NCs. This work is expected to provide a comprehensive overview to researchers and engineers who are interested in such a research field and promote the clinical translation of M2D NCs in practical applications.

Multilayer nanodrug delivery system with spatiotemporal drug release improves tumor microenvironment for synergistic anticancer therapy. Biofabrication 2024; 16:025012.

Abstract
The inflammatory response is one of the general symptoms that accompany tumorigenesis, the pro-inflammatory factors cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and COX-2-derived prostaglandin-2 (PGE-2) in the inflammatory environment surrounding tumors possess promoting tumor development, metastasis and angiogenesis effects. In addition, the hypoxic environment of tumors severely limits the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this study, a universal extracellular-intracellular 'on-demand' release nanomedicine DOX@PDA-ICG@MnO2@GN-CEL was developed for the combined fight against malignant tumors using a spatiotemporal controlled gelatin coated polydopamine (PDA@GN) as the carrier and loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX), the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG), the PDT enhancer MnO2and the anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib (CEL) individually. Our results showed that DOX@PDA-ICG@MnO2@GN-CEL could release CEL extracellularly by matrix metalloproteinase-2 response and inhibit the COX-2/PGE-2 pathway, reduce chemotherapy resistance and attenuate the concurrent inflammation. After entering the tumor cells, the remaining DOX@PDA-ICG@MnO2released DOX, ICG and MnO2intracellularly through PDA acid response. MnO2promoted the degradation of endogenous H2O2to generate oxygen under acidic conditions to alleviate the tumor hypoxic environment, enhance PDT triggered by ICG. PDA and ICG exhibited photothermal therapy synergistically, and DOX exerted chemotherapy with reduced chemotherapy resistance. The dual responsive drug release switch enabled the chemotherapeutic, photothermal, photodynamic and anti-inflammatory drugs precisely acted on different sites of tumor tissues and realized a promising multimodal combination therapy.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) is ubiquitously involved in various photocatalytic oxidation reactions; however, efficient and selective production of 1 O2 is still challenging. Herein, we reported the synthesis of nickel porphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) incorporating functional groups with different electron-donating/-withdrawing features on their pore walls. These functional groups established a dedicated outer-sphere microenvironment surrounding the Ni catalytic center that tunes the activity of the COFs for 1 O2 -mediated thioether oxidation. With the increase of the electron-donating ability of functional groups, the modulated outer-sphere microenvironment turns on the catalytic activity from a yield of nearly zero by the cyano group functionalized COF to an excellent yield of 98 % by the methoxy group functionalized one. Electronic property investigation and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the distinct excitonic behaviors attributed to the diverse band energy levels and orbital compositions are responsible for the different activities. This study represents the first regulation of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) based on the strategy of outer-sphere microenvironment modulation in COFs.

Abstract
Given the complexity of the tumor microenvironment, multiple strategies are being explored to tackle hypoxic tumors. The most efficient strategies combine several therapeutic modalities and typically requires the development of multifunctional nanocomposites through sophisticated synthetic procedures. Herein, the G-quadruplex (G4)-forming sequence AS1411-A (d[(G2 T)4 TG(TG2 )4 A]) is used for both its anti-tumor and biocatalytic properties when combined with hemin, increasing the production of O2 ca. two-fold as compared to the parent AS1411 sequence. The AS1411-A/hemin complex (GH) is grafted on the surface and pores of a core-shell upconverted metal-organic framework (UMOF) to generate a UMGH nanoplatform. Compared with UMOF, UMGH exhibits enhanced colloidal stability, increased tumor cell targeting and improved O2 production (8.5-fold) in situ. When irradiated by near-infrared (NIR) light, the UMGH antitumor properties are bolstered by photodynamic therapy (PDT), thanks to its ability to convert O2 into singlet oxygen (1 O2 ). Combined with the antiproliferative activity of AS1411-A, this novel approach lays the foundation for a new type of G4-based nanomedicine.

Abstract
The effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is severely limited by tumor hypoxia and the short half-life of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, we constructed a near-infrared (NIR) light-regulated PDT nanoplatform (TPP-UCNPs@MOF-Pt) consisting of an upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) core and porphyrin-based metal-organic framework (MOF) shell with platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and a mitochondria-targeting triphenylphosphine (TPP) group on the surface. TPP-UCNPs@MOF-Pt could effectively relieve the tumor hypoxia by converting intracellular H2O2 to oxygen (O2) and elevated the ROS level to enhance PDT efficacy under NIR light irradiation. In addition, the mitochondria-targeting TPP-UCNPs@MOF-Pt was localized on the mitochondria, leading to severe depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane and activation of the apoptotic pathway, further amplifying the therapeutic efficacy. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the greatly enhanced photodynamic therapeutic efficacy of TPP-UCNPs@MOF-Pt was achieved by combining relief of tumor hypoxia with mitochondrial targeting and NIR activation. This study provides a promising strategy for construction of an MOF-based multifunctional nanoplatform to address the current limitations of PDT treatment for hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) nanoenzymes exhibit a piezoelectric polarization, which generates reactive oxygen species to inactivate tumors under ultrasonic strain. However, its therapeutic efficiency is far away from satisfactory, due to stackable MoS2 , quenching of piezo-generated charges, and monotherapy. Herein, chitosan-exfoliated monolayer MoS2 (Ch-MS) is composited with atomic-thin MXene, Ti3 C2 (TC), to self-assemble a multimodal nanoplatform, Ti3 C2 -Chitosan-MoS2 (TC@Ch-MS), for tumor inactivation. TC@Ch-MS not only inherits piezoelectricity from monolayer MoS2 , but also maintains remarkable stability. Intrinsic metallic MXene combines with MoS2 to construct an interfacial Schottky heterojunction, facilitating the separation of electron-hole pairs and endowing TC@Ch-MS increase-sensitivity magnetic resonance imaging responding. Schottky interface also leads to peroxidase mimetics with excellent catalytic performance toward H2 O2 in the tumor microenvironment under mechanical vibration. TC@Ch-MS possesses the superior photothermal conversion efficiency than pristine TC under near-infrared ray illumination, attributed to its enhanced interlaminar conductivity. Meanwhile, TC@Ch-MS realizes optimized efficiency on tumor apoptosis with immunotherapy. Therefore, TC@Ch-MS achieves an integrated diagnosis and multimodal treatment nanoplatform, whereas the toxicity to normal tissue cells is negligible. This work may shed fresh light on optimizing the piezoelectric materials in biological applications, and also give prominence to the significance of intrinsic metallicity in MXene.

Abstract
Hypercoagulation threatens the lives of cancer patients and cancer progression. Platelet overactivation attributes to the tumor-associated hypercoagulation and maintenance of the tumor endothelial integrity, leading to limited intratumoral perfusion of nanoagents into solid tumors in spite of the enhanced penetration and retention effect (EPR). Therefore, the clinical application of nanotherapeutics in solid cancer still faces great challenges. Herein, this work establishes platelet inhibiting nanoagents based on FeIII -doped C3 N4 coloaded with the chemotherapy drug and the antiplatelet drug chlorogenic acid (CA), further opening tumor vascular endothelial junctions, thereby disrupting the tumor vascular endothelial integrity, and enhancing drug perfusion. Moreover, CA not only damages the cancer cells but also potentiates the cytotoxicity induced by the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin, synergistically ablating the tumor tissue. Further, the introduction of CA relieves the original causes of the hypercoagulable state such as tissue factor (TF), thrombin, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) secreted by cancer cells. It is anticipated that the hypercoagulation- and platelet-inhibition strategy by integration of phenolic acid CA into chemotherapy provides insights into platelet inhibition-assisted theranostics based on nanomedicines.

Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy are nonselective and nonspecific for cell killing, causing serious side effects and threatening the lives of patients. It is of great significance to develop more accurate tumor-targeting therapeutic strategies. Nanotechnology is in a leading position to provide new treatment options for cancer, and it has great potential for selective targeted therapy and controlled drug release. 2D nanomaterials (2D NMs) have broad application prospects in the field of tumor-targeted delivery systems due to their special structure-based functions and excellent optical, electrical, and thermal properties. This review emphasizes the design strategies of tumor-targeted delivery systems based on 2D NMs from three aspects: passive targeting, active targeting, and tumor-microenvironment targeting, in order to promote the rational application of 2D NMs in clinical practice.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based drug delivery holds great promise in topical tumor treatment. However, the simple construction of multifunctional therapeutic hydrogels under physiological conditions is still a huge challenge. Herein, for the first time, a multifunctional hyaluronan/MnO2 nanocomposite (HHM) hydrogel with injectable and self-healing capabilities was constructed under physiological conditions through innovative in situ mineralization-triggered Mn-hydrazide coordination crosslinking. The hydrogel formed from Mn2+ and hydrazided hyaluronan under optimized conditions exhibited a high elastic modulus >1 kPa, injectability, self-healing function, stimuli-responsiveness and catalase-like activity. In vitro and in vivo biological experiments demonstrated that our HHM hydrogel could not only efficiently relieve hypoxia by in situ catalytic decomposition of endogenous H2O2 into O2 but also achieve synergistic photodynamic/photothermal therapy of 4T1 breast cancer in a mouse tumor model. This study presented a novel mineralization-driven metal-hydrazide coordination crosslinking approach and developed a multifunctional therapeutic platform for O2-enhanced efficient topical dual-phototherapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
Two-dimensional nanomaterial-based catalytic medicines that associate the superiorities of novel catalytic mechanisms with nanotechnology have emerged as absorbing therapeutic strategies for cancer therapy. Catalytic medicines featuring high efficiency and selectivity have been widely used as effective anticancer strategies without applying traditional nonselective and highly toxic chemodrugs. Moreover, two-dimensional nanomaterials are characterized by distinctive physicochemical properties, such as a sizeable bandgap, good conductivity, fast electron transfer and photoelectrochemical activity. The introduction of two-dimensional nanomaterials into catalytic medicine provides a more effective, controllable, and precise antitumor strategy. In this review, different types of two-dimensional nanomaterial-based catalytic nanomedicines are generalized, and their catalytic theories, advanced catalytic pathways and catalytic nanosystem design are also discussed in detail. Notably, future challenges and obstacles in the design and further clinical transformation of two-dimensional nanomaterial-based catalytic nanomedicine are prospected.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive therapy for cancer and bacterial infection. Metal-free semiconducting conjugated polymers (SCPS) with good stability and optical and electrical properties are promising photosensitizers (PSs) for PDT compared with traditional small-molecule PSs. This review analyzes the latest progress of strategies to improve PDT effect of linear, planar, and three-dimensional SCPS, including improving solubility, adjusting conjugated structure, enhancing PS-doped SCPs, and combining therapies. Moreover, the current issues, such as hypoxia, low penetration, targeting and biosafety of SCPS, and corresponding strategies, are discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and potential opportunities on further improvement of PDT for SCPs are presented.

Biodegradable oxygen-producing manganese-chelated metal organic frameworks for tumor-targeted synergistic chemo/photothermal/ photodynamic therapy. Acta Biomater 2022; 138:463-477.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective noninvasive therapeutic strategy that can convert oxygen to highly cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) through the co-localization of excitation light and photosensitizers. However, compromised by the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, the therapeutic efficacy of PDT is reduced seriously. Herein, to overcome tumor-associated hypoxia, and further achieve tumor-targeted synergistic chemotherapy/PDT/photothermal therapy (PTT), we have constructed a biodegradable oxygen-producing nanoplatform (named Ini@PM-HP), which was composed of the porous metal-organic framework (PCN-224(Mn)), the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor (Iniparib), and the polydopamine-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-PDA). Since HA can specifically bind to the overexpressed HA receptors (cluster determinant 44, CD44) on tumor cell, Ini@PM-HP prefers to accumulate at the tumor site once injected intravenously. Then iniparib can be released in tumor environment (TME), thereby dysfunctioning DNA damage repair and promoting cell apoptosis. At the same time, the chelating of Mn and tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (Mn-TCPP) can generate O2 in situ by reacting with endogenous H2O2, relieving the hypoxic TME and achieving enhanced PDT. Moreover, owing to the high photothermal conversion efficiency of PDA, PTT can be driven by the 808 nm laser irradiation. As systematically demonstrated in vitro and in vivo, this nanotherapeutic approach enables the combined therapy with great inhibition on tumor. Overall, the as-prepared nanoplatform provide a promising strategy to overcome tumor-associated hypoxia, and shows great potential for combination tumor therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A delicately designed biodegradable oxygen-producing nanoplatform Ini@PM-HP is constructed to achieve combination therapy of solid tumors. Taking advantage of the active-targeting, PTT, enhanced PDT and PARPi, this nanotherapeutic approach successfully enables the combined chemo/photothermal/photodynamic therapy with great inhibition of solid tumors.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is considered to be a principal cause of cancer death across the world, and nanomedicine has provided promising alternatives for the treatment of NSCLC in recent years. Photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) have represented novel therapeutic modalities for cancer treatment with excellent performance. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of PPy@Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) on inhibiting growth and metastasis of NSCLC by combination of PTT and CDT. In this study, we synthesized PPy@Fe3O4 NPs through a very facile electrostatic absorption method. And we detected reactive oxygen species production, cell apoptosis, migration and protein expression in different groups of A549 cells and established xenograft models to evaluate the effects of PPy@Fe3O4 NPs for inhibiting the growth of NSCLC. The results showed that the PPy@Fe3O4 NPs had negligible cytotoxicity and could efficiently inhibit the cell growth and metastasis of NSCLC in vitro. In addition, the PPy@Fe3O4 NPs decreased tumor volume and growth in vivo and endowed their excellent MRI capability of observing the location and size of tumor. To sum up, our study displayed that the PPy@Fe3O4 NPs had significant synergistic effects of PTT and CDT, and had good biocompatibility and safety in vivo and in vitro. The PPy@Fe3O4 NPs may be an effective drug platform for the treatment of NSCLC.

Abstract
Recently, nanomaterials have been well-studied in cancer therapy, but some of them often experience difficulties with degradation in vivo, which could cause severe damage to the human body. Among numerous biodegradable nanomaterials, antimonene nanosheets (AMNSs) are versatile, and possess photothermal and photodynamic properties and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and drug loading ability. Herein, we employed a clearable multifunctional system. The small molecule photosensitizer IR820 and the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) at small sizes of approximately 5 nm were loaded onto AMNSs coated with biodegradable chitosan (CS). This nanoplatform showed excellent photothermal and photodynamic properties, satisfactory degradability and photoacoustic imaging ability, good biocompatibility and effective NIR light triggered intracellular synergistic treatment. It also displayed good fluorescence imaging ability in the experiment of cell uptake. These suggested that this versatile nanoplatform was able to significantly enhance the therapeutic efficiency based on synergistic phototherapy, and could also be applied in fluorescence and photoacoustic dual imaging for integrating diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
The photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer is limited by tumor hypoxia as PDT efficiency depends on O2 concentration. A novel oxygen self-sufficient photosensitizer (Ru-g-C3N4) was therefore designed and synthesized via a facile one-pot method in order to overcome tumor hypoxia-induced PDT resistance. The photosensitizer is based on [Ru(bpy)2]2+ coordinated to g-C3N4 nanosheets by Ru-N bonding. Compared to pure g-C3N4, the resulting nanosheets exhibit increased water solubility, stronger visible light absorption, and enhanced biocompatibility. Once Ru-g-C3N4 is taken up by hypoxic tumor cells and exposed to visible light, the nanosheets not only catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 and H2O to generate O2, but also catalyze H2O2 and O2 concurrently to produce multiple ROS (•OH, •O2-, and 1O2). In addition, Ru-g-C3N4 affords luminescence imaging, while continuously generating O2 to alleviate hypoxia greatly improving PDT efficacy. To the best of our knowledge, this oxygen self-sufficient photosensitizer produced via grafting a metal complex onto g-C3N4 is the first of its type to be reported.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-mediated cancer therapeutics is a fast developing field and has been utilized in potential clinical applications. However, most effective therapies, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radio therapy (RT), are strongly oxygen-dependent, which hinders their practical applications. Later on, several strategies were developed to overcome tumor hypoxia, such as oxygen carrier nanomaterials and oxygen generated nanomaterials. Among these, oxygen species generation on nanozymes, especially catalase (CAT) mimetic nanozymes, convert endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to oxygen (O2) and peroxidase (POD) mimetic nanozymes converts endogenous H2O2 to water (H2O) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a hypoxic tumor microenvironment is a fascinating approach. The present review provides a detailed examination of past, present and future perspectives of POD mimetic nanozymes for effective oxygen-dependent cancer phototherapeutics.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been extensively investigated for decades for tumor treatment because of its non-invasiveness, spatiotemporal selectivity, lower side-effects, and immune activation ability. It can be a promising treatment modality in several medical fields, including oncology, immunology, urology, dermatology, ophthalmology, cardiology, pneumology, and dentistry. Nevertheless, the clinical application of PDT is largely restricted by the drawbacks of traditional photosensitizers, limited tissue penetrability of light, inefficient induction of tumor cell death, tumor resistance to the therapy, and the severe pain induced by the therapy. Recently, various photosensitizer formulations and therapy strategies have been developed to overcome these barriers. Significantly, the introduction of nanomaterials in PDT, as carriers or photosensitizers, may overcome the drawbacks of traditional photosensitizers. Based on this, nanocomposites excited by various light sources are applied in the PDT of deep-seated tumors. Modulation of cell death pathways with co-delivered reagents promotes PDT induced tumor cell death. Relief of tumor resistance to PDT with combined therapy strategies further promotes tumor inhibition. Also, the optimization of photosensitizer formulations and therapy procedures reduces pain in PDT. Here, a systematic summary of recent advances in the fabrication of photosensitizers and the design of therapy strategies to overcome barriers in PDT is presented. Several aspects important for the clinical application of PDT in cancer treatment are also discussed.

Abstract
Cervical cancer or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) remain a major public health problem among women globally. Traditional methods such as surgery are often associated with possible complications which may impact future pregnancies and childbirth especially for young female patients. Vagina with a high contact surface is a suitable route for the local and systemic delivery of drugs but its abundant mucus in continuous exchange presents a barrier for the popularization of conventional vaginal formulations including suppositories, gel, patch, creams and so on. So the development of new pharmaceutical forms based on nanotechnology became appealing owing to its several advantages such as mucosa penetration, bioadhesion, controlled drug release, and decreased adverse effects. This review provided an overview of the development of topical treatment of cervical cancer or CIN through vaginal drug delivery ranging from conventional vaginal formulations to new nanocarriers to the newly developed phototherapy and gene therapy, analyzing the problems faced by current methods used, and advising the developing trend in future. The methods of establishing preclinical animal model are also discussed.

Abstract
It is of utmost urgency to achieve effective and safe anticancer treatment with the increasing mortality rate of cancer. Novel anticancer drugs and strategies need to be designed for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Fenton- and Fenton-like reaction-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are new strategies to enhance anticancer efficacy due to their capacity to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxygen (O2). On the one hand, the generated ROS can damage the cancer cells directly. On the other hand, the generated O2 can relieve the hypoxic condition in the tumor microenvironment (TME) which hinders efficient photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, etc. Therefore, CDT can be used together with many other therapeutic strategies for synergistically enhanced combination therapy. The antitumor applications of Fenton- and Fenton-like reaction-based nanomaterials will be discussed in this review, including: (iþ) producing abundant ROS in-situ to kill cancer cells directly, (ii) enhancing therapeutic efficiency indirectly by Fenton reaction-mediated combination therapy, (iii) diagnosis and monitoring of cancer therapy. These strategies exhibit the potential of CDT-based nanomaterials for efficient cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be defined as a kind of intracellular photocatalysis. Inspired by the design of photocatalysts, the construction of the heterojunction also is expected to improve the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for PDT. Herein, the Cu2-xSe/Bi2Se3@PEG (CB3@PEG) nano-heterostructure has been prepared by a cation-exchange process, where the interaction between the host and exchange agent is vital. CB3@PEG exhibits the near-infrared (NIR)-triggered hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen (˙OH and 1O2) generation, which is more than 6 times in contrast with that of pure Cu2-xSe@PEG, attributed to the Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism with the high redox ability and great charge separation. Moreover, with the narrower band gap of Bi2Se3, CB3@PEG exhibits enhanced NIR harvest as well as high photothermal conversion efficiency (60.4%). Due to the Fenton reaction caused by the Cu ion, CB3@PEG is endowed with the chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and signal-enhanced T1-weight magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capacity. In addition, the great photothermal ability and X-ray absorption coefficient provide outstanding contrast in photothermal imaging (PTI) and computerized tomography (CT) imaging. Finally, the multi-imaging combined with the synergistic treatment (PTT/CDT/PDT) makes CB3@PEG achieve enhanced efficiency in anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have shown great potential in cancer therapy, but the phenomenon of poor tumor recognition without cellular organelle accumulation usually leads to reduced therapeutic effects and enhanced side effects. Herein, we resolved this issue by employing a multifunctional peptide coating mainly composed of, from the inside out, a mitochondrial targeting segment, a cathepsin B-responsive segment and a zwitterionic antifouling segment. Then gold nanorods were modified with a peptide via ligand exchange, displaying excellent photothermal property and superior stability both before and after enzyme treatment. The in vitro and in vivo results showed that this nanoplatform possessed good biocompatibility, satisfactory mitochondria targeting ability, prolonged blood circulation lifetime and enhanced cellular uptake in tumors. This nanoplatform promoted effective near-infrared light-triggered subcellular hyperthermia treatment in vitro and exhibited excellent tumor ablation ability in vivo. These findings suggested that this multifunctional nanoplatform could significantly enhance the therapeutic efficiency of photothermal therapy based on activated mitochondrial targeting.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced phototherapy through NIR agents has demonstrated the great potential for cancer therapy. However, insufficient tumor killing due to the nonuniform heat or cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) distribution over tumors from phototherapy results in tumor recurrence and inferior outcomes. To achieve high tumor killing efficacy, one of the solutions is to employ the combinational treatment of phototherapy with other modalities, especially with chemotherapeutic agents. In this paper, a simple and effective multimodal therapeutic system was designed via combining chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to achieve the polytherapy of malignant glioma which is one of the most aggressive tumors in the brain. IR-780 (IR780) dye-labeled tube-forming peptoids (PepIR) were synthesized and self-assembled into crystalline nanotubes (PepIR nanotubes). These PepIR nanotubes showed an excellent efficacy for PDT/PTT because the IR780 photosensitizers were effectively packed and separated from each other within crystalline nanotubes by tuning IR780 density; thus, a self-quenching of these IR780 molecules was significantly reduced. Moreover, the efficient DOX loading achieved due to the nanotube large surface area contributed to an efficient and synergistic chemotherapy against glioma cells. Given the unique properties of peptoids and peptoid nanotubes, we believe that the developed multimodal DOX-loaded PepIR nanotubes in this work offer great promises for future glioma therapy in clinic.

Abstract
Facile fabrication of Fe-based nanotheranostic agents with the enhanced Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effect and multiple functions is important for oncotherapy. In this report, noble-metal@FexOy core-shell nanoparticles (Au@FexOy NPs, AuRu@FexOy NPs, AuPt@FexOy NPs and AuPd@FexOy NPs) are one-pot constructed by a simply redox self-assembly strategy. As a typical example, AuPd@FexOy NPs are applied for oncotherapy. Compared to their crystalline counterparts (e.g., AuPd@c-Fe2O3 nanocrystals (NCs)), AuPd@FexOy NPs with the metastable FexOy shell can be activated by a small amount of NaBH4 to obviously enhance the production of ·OH in subsequent Fenton reaction (these activated products are termed as r-AuPd@FexOy NPs). In addition, a favorable photothermal effect (63.5% photothermal conversion efficiency) of r-AuPd@FexOy NPs can further promote the ·OH generation. Moreover, r-AuPd@FexOy NPs also show a pH-responsive T1-weighted MRI contrast property, CT imaging capacity and the function of regulating tumor microenvironment. This work presents an attractive route to prepare versatile nanotheranostic agents.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been shown as a promising visible-light photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) application. Nevertheless, its therapeutic efficiency is limited by the low efficiency of visible-light utilization. To overcome this issue, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole-derived graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N5 NSs) are prepared for PDT application. The addition of nitrogen-rich triazole group into the g-C3N4 motif significantly makes the light absorption of g-C3N5 NSs red-shift with the band gap down to 1.95 eV, corresponding to a absorption edge at a wavelength of 636 nm. g-C3N5 NSs generate superoxide anion radicals (O2•-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) under the irradiation of a low-intensity white light emitting diode. Owing to the high efficiency of visible-light utilization, g-C3N5 NSs show about 9.5 fold photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 NSs. In vitro anticancer studies based on the results of CCK-8 assay, Calcein-AM/PI cell-survival assay and photo-induced intracellular ROS level analysis in living HeLa cells demonstrate the potential of g-C3N5 NSs as a low-toxic and biocompatible high-efficient photosensitizer for PDT.

Given the fact that excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA, various ROS-generating agents and strategies have been explored to induce cell death and tumor destruction by generating ROS above toxic threshold. Unfortunately, hypoxia in tumor microenvironment (TME) not only promotes tumor metastasis but also enhances tumor resistance to the ROS-generated cancer therapies, thus leading to ineffective therapeutic outcomes. A variety of nanotechnology-based approaches that generate or release O2 continuously to overcome hypoxia in TME have showed promising results to improve the efficacy of ROS-generated cancer therapy. In this minireview, we present an overview of current nanomaterial-based strategies for advanced cancer therapy by modulating the hypoxia in the TME and promoting ROS generation. Particular emphasis is put on the O2 supply capability and mechanism of these nanoplatforms. Future challenges and opportunities of design consideration are also discussed. We believe that this review may provide some useful inspiration for the design and construction of other advanced nanomaterials with O2 supply ability for overcoming the tumor hypoxia-associated resistance of ROS-mediated cancer therapy and thus promoting ROS-generated cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) have shown promising potential in biomedical applications since they provide a rapid, simple and robust way to construct multifunctional nanoplatforms. As a novel nanomaterial self-assembled from metal ions and polyphenols, MPNs can be prepared to assist the theranostics of cancer owing to their bio-adhesiveness, good biocompatibility, versatile drug loading, and stimuli-responsive profile. This Critical Review aims to summarize recent progress in MPN-based nanoplatforms for multimodal tumor therapy and imaging. First, the advantages of MPNs as drug carriers are summarized. Then, various tumor therapeutic modalities based on MPNs are introduced. Next, MPN-based theranostic systems are reviewed. In terms of in vivo applications, specific attention is paid to their biosafety, biodistribution, as well as excretion. Finally, some problems and limitations of MPNs are discussed, along with a future perspective on the field.

Abstract
The development of activatable photosensitizers to allow for the reversible control of singlet oxygen (1O2) production for photodynamic therapy (PDT) faces great challenges. Fortunately, the flourishing field of supramolecular biotechnology provides more effective strategies for activatable PDT systems. Here, we developed a new reversible PDT on a switch that controls the 1O2 generation of self-assembled albumin nanotheranostics in vitro and in vivo. A new molecular design principle of aggregation-induced self-quenching photochromism and albumin on-photoswitching was demonstrated using a new asymmetric, synthetic diarylethene moiety DIA. The photosensitizer porphyrin and DIA were incorporated as building blocks in a glutaraldehyde-induced covalent albumin cross-linking nanoplatform, HSA-DIA-porphyrin nanoparticles (NPs). More importantly, the excellent photoswitching property of DIA enables the resultant nanoplatform to act as a facile, switchable strategy for photodynamic-immunotherapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a non-invasive therapeutic modality, has received increasing attention owing to its high selectivity and limited side effects. Although significant clinical research progress has been made in PDT, the breadth and depth of its clinical application have not been fully realized due to the limitations such as inadequate light penetration depth, non-targeting photosensitizers (PSs), and tumor hypoxia. Consequently, numerous investigations put their emphasis on innovative strategies to overcome the aforementioned limitations and enhance the therapeutic effect of PDT. Herein, up-to-date advances in these innovative methods for PDT are summarized by introducing the design of PS systems, their working mechanisms and application examples. In addition, current challenges of these innovative strategies for clinical application, and future perspectives on further improvement of PDT are also discussed.

Abstract
Various therapeutic techniques have been studied for treating cancer precisely and effectively, such as targeted drug delivery, phototherapy, tumor-specific catalytic therapy, and synergistic therapy, which, however, evoke numerous challenges due to the inherent limitations of these therapeutic modalities and intricate biological circumstances as well. With the remarkable advances of nanotechnology, nanoplatform-based cascade engineering, as an efficient and booming strategy, has been tactfully introduced to optimize these cancer therapies. Based on the designed nanoplatforms, pre-supposed cascade processes could be triggered under specific conditions to generate/deliver more therapeutic species or produce stronger tumoricidal effects inside tumors, aiming to achieve cancer therapy with increased anti-tumor efficacy and diminished side effects. In this review, the recent advances in nanoplatform-based cascade engineering for cancer therapy are summarized and discussed, with an emphasis on the design of smart nanoplatforms with unique structures, compositions and properties, and the implementation of specific cascade processes by means of endogenous tumor microenvironment (TME) resources and/or exogenous energy inputs. This fascinating strategy presents unprecedented potential in the enhancement of cancer therapies, and offers better controllability, specificity and effectiveness of therapeutic functions compared to the corresponding single components/functions. In the end, challenges and prospects of such a burgeoning strategy in the field of cancer therapy will be discussed, hopefully to facilitate its further development to meet the personalized treatment demands.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cells. They are vital organelles that maintain cellular function and metabolism. Dysfunction of mitochondria results in various diseases with a great diversity of clinical appearances. In the past, strategies have been developed for fabricating subcellular-targeting drug-delivery nanocarriers, enabling cellular internalization and subsequent organelle localization. Of late, innovative strategies have emerged for the smart design of multifunctional nanocarriers. Hierarchical targeting enables nanocarriers to evade and overcome various barriers encountered upon in vivo administration to reach the organelle with good bioavailability. Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers allow controlled release of therapeutics to occur at the desired target site. Synergistic therapy can be achieved using a combination of approaches such as chemotherapy, gene and phototherapy. In this Review, we survey the field for recent developments and strategies used in the smart design of nanocarriers for mitochondria-targeted therapeutics. Existing challenges and unexplored therapeutic opportunities are also highlighted and discussed to inspire the next generation of mitochondrial-targeting nanotherapeutics.

Abstract
Noble metal-based nanomaterials offer great potential as cargoes for multifunctional cancer treatment. In this research, Au eyeball-like nanoparticles (NPs) with open-mouthed Pd shells were synthesized and their surface was functionalized with cell-targeting ligand folic acid (FA) and photodynamic agent Chlorin e6 (Ce6). Due to the broad near-infrared (NIR) absorption band of eyeball-like bimetallic Au and Pd, the photothermal therapy effects of this nanomaterial were studied in MCF-7 cancer cells. The anchored Ce6 not only addressed the hypoxia issue of tumor cells but also exhibited remarkable photodynamic efficacy upon irradiation. Results showed that the obtained Au@Pd-PEG-FA-Ce6 (APPFC) NPs were selectively accumulated at the tumor site and induced cell apoptosis effectively due to the target specificity and synergistic phototherapy effect. The high specificity, desirable biosafety, fast delivery, and drug functionalization demonstrated eyeball-like Au@Pd NPs are promising candidate for multifunctional therapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
As the semisynthetic derivative and active metabolite of the effective anti-malarial drug artemisinin, dihydroartemisinin (DHA) has been investigated as an emerging therapeutic agent for tumor treatment based on the cytotoxicity of free-radicals originating from interactions with ferrous ions. Meanwhile, simultaneously delivering DHA and iron ions to tumors for selectively killing cancer cells is still a great challenge in DHA tumor therapy. Herein, we develop a facile yet efficient strategy based on iron-coordinated hollow polydopamine nanospheres to load DHA (DHA@HPDA-Fe). The as-prepared nanoagent is biodegradable and exhibits controllable release of DHA and Fe ions in tumor microenvironments, resulting in ferrous ion-enhanced production of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) by DHA and thus effectively killing the tumor cells. In vivo therapy experiments indicated that the anti-tumor efficacy of DHA@HPDA-Fe was about 3.05 times greater than that of free DHA, and the tumor inhibition ratio was 88.7% compared with the control group, accompanied by negligible side effects, indicating that the proposed nanomedicine platform is promising for anti-tumor applications.

Abstract
Objective: This review clusters the growing field of nano-based platforms for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) targeting pathogenic oral biofilms and increase interactions between dental researchers and investigators in many related fields. Background data: Clinically relevant disinfection of dental tissues is difficult to achieve with aPDT alone. It has been found that limited penetrability into soft and hard dental tissues, diffusion of the photosensitizers, and the small light absorption coefficient are contributing factors. As a result, the effectiveness of aPDT is reduced in vivo applications. To overcome limitations, nanotechnology has been implied to enhance the penetration and delivery of photosensitizers to target microorganisms and increase the bactericidal effect. Materials and methods: The current literature was screened for the various platforms composed of photosensitizers functionalized with nanoparticles and their enhanced performance against oral pathogenic biofilms. Results: The evidence-based findings from the up-to-date literature were promising to control the onset and the progression of dental biofilm-triggered diseases such as dental caries, endodontic infections, and periodontal diseases. The antimicrobial effects of aPDT with nano-based platforms on oral bacterial disinfection will help to advance the design of combination strategies that increase the rate of complete and durable clinical response in oral infections. Conclusions: There is enthusiasm about the potential of nano-based platforms to treat currently out of the reach pathogenic oral biofilms. Much of the potential exists because these nano-based platforms use unique mechanisms of action that allow us to overcome the challenging of intra-oral and hard-tissue disinfection.

[PMID: 32693200 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2020.07.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
The selectivity of photodynamic therapy (PDT) derived from the tailored accumulation of photosensitizing drug (photosensitizer; PS) in the tumor microenvironment (TME), and from local irradiation, turns it into a "magic bullet" for the treatment of resistant tumors without sparing the healthy tissue and possible adverse effects. However, locally-induced hypoxia is one of the undesirable consequences of PDT, which may contribute to the emergence of resistance and significantly reduce therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, the development of strategies using new approaches in nanotechnology and molecular biology can offer an increased opportunity to eliminate the disadvantages of hypoxia. Emerging evidence indicates that wisely designed phototherapeutic procedures, including: (i) ROS-tunable photosensitizers, (ii) organelle targeting, (iii) nano-based photoactive drugs and/or PS delivery nanosystems, as well as (iv) combining them with other strategies (i.e. PTT, chemotherapy, theranostics or the design of dual anticancer drug and photosensitizers) can significantly improve the PDT efficacy and overcome the resistance. This mini-review addresses the role of hypoxia and hypoxia-related molecular mechanisms of the HIF-1α pathway in the regulation of PDT efficacy. It also discusses the most recent achievements as well as future perspectives and potential challenges of PDT application against hypoxic tumors.

[PMID: 32676680 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-020-04396-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2019] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as an outstanding photoresponsive nanomaterial has been widely used in biosensing. Other than the conventional single channel sensing mode, a triple-channel sensing array was developed for high discrimination of proteins based on the photoresponsive g-C3N4. Besides the photoluminescence and Rayleigh light scattering features of g-C3N4, we exploit the new photosensitive colorimetry of g-C3N4 as the third channel optical input. The triple-channel optical behavior of g-C3N4 can be synchronously changed after interaction with the protein, resulting in the distinct response patterns related to each specific protein. Such a triple-channel sensing array is demonstrated for highly discriminative and precise identification of nine proteins (hemoglobin, trypsin, lysozyme, cytochrome c, horseradish peroxidase, transferrin, human serum albumin, pepsin, and myoglobin) at 1 μM concentration levels with 100% accuracy. It also can discriminate proteins being present at different concentration and protein mixtures with different content ratios. The practicability of this sensor array is validated by high accuracy identification of nine proteins in human urine samples. This indicates that the array has a great potential in terms of analyzing biological fluids. Graphic abstract .
