Abstract
Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines, serving as a rapid and easily scalable emergency preventive measure, have played a pivotal role in preventing infectious diseases. The effectiveness of mRNA vaccines heavily relies on the delivery carrier, but the current market options are predominantly lipid nanoparticles. Their intricate preparation process and high transportation costs pose challenges for widespread use in remote areas. In this study, we harnessed FDA-approved polymer PLGA and lipid components widely employed in clinical experiments to craft a ready-to-use mRNA vaccine delivery system known as lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPP). Following formulation optimization, the PDCD nanoparticles emerged as the most effective, showcasing exceptional mRNA delivery capabilities both in vitro and in vivo. Loading PDCD nanoparticles with mRNA encoding the H1N1 influenza virus HA antigen-fused M2e peptide enabled the successful induction of M2e-specific antibodies and T cell immune responses in immunized mice. After three rounds of vaccine immunization, the mice demonstrated weight recovery to normal levels and maintained a survival rate exceeding 80% following an encounter with the H1N1 influenza virus. The innovative mRNA delivery system that we designed demonstrates outstanding effectiveness in preventing infectious diseases, with the potential to play an even more significant role in future clinical applications.

Abstract
The efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is severely limited by the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME), while the performance of PDT-aroused antitumor immunity is frustrated by the immunosuppressive TME and deficient immunogenic cell death (ICD) induction. To simultaneously tackle these pivotal problems, we herein create an albumin-based nanoplatform co-delivering IR780, NLG919 dimer and a hypoxia-activated prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) as the dual enhancer for synergistic cancer therapy. Under NIR irradiation, IR780 generates 1O2 for PDT, which simultaneously cleaves the ROS-sensitive linker for triggered TPZ release, and activates its chemotherapy via exacerbated tumor hypoxia. Meanwhile, firstly found by us, TPZ-mediated chemotherapy boosts PDT-induced tumor ICD to evoke stronger antitumor immunity including the development of tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Eventually, enriched intratumoral GSH triggers the activation of NLG919 to mitigate the immunosuppressive TME via specific indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) inhibition, consequently promoting the intratumoral infiltration of CTLs and the killing of both primary and distant tumors, while the resultant memory T cells allows nearly 100% suppression of tumor recurrence and metastasis. This nanoplatform sets up an example for dully enhanced photodynamic immunotherapy of breast cancer via hypoxia-activated chemotherapy, and paves a solid way for the treatment of other hypoxic and immunosuppressive malignant tumors.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has developed rapidly in solid tumors, especially in the areas of blocking inhibitory immune checkpoints and adoptive T-cell transfer for immune regulation. Many patients benefit from immunotherapy. However, the response rate of immunotherapy in the overall population are relatively low, which depends on the characteristics of the tumor and individualized patient differences. Moreover, the occurrence of drug resistance and adverse reactions largely limit the development of immunotherapy. Recently, the emergence of nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) seems to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy by encapsulating drug carriers in nanoparticles to precisely reach the tumor site with high stability and biocompatibility, prolonging the drug cycle of action and greatly reducing the occurrence of toxic side effects. In this paper, we mainly review the advantages of NDDS and the mechanisms that enhance conventional immunotherapy in solid tumors, and summarize the recent advances in NDDS-based therapeutic strategies, which will provide valuable ideas for the development of novel tumor immunotherapy regimen.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging method for treating cancer due to its non-invasive nature and high-depth tissue penetration ability. However, current sonosensitizers commonly have unsatisfactory quantum yields of free radicals. In this work, we have developed unique organic semiconductor π-conjugated covalent organic framework nanocages (COFNs) as highly efficient sonosensitizers to boost free radical (1O2 and •OH) production and cancer therapy. With the hollow and porous structure and band transport behavior, COFNs displayed remarkably improved SDT performance through enhanced electron utilization and cavitation effect, with a 1.8-fold increase in US pressure and a 64.8% increase in 1O2 production relative to the core-shell-structured COF under US irradiation. The in vitro and in vivo experimental results verified the elevated SDT performance, showing a high tumor suppression of 91.4% against refractory breast cancer in mice. This work provides a promising strategy to develop high-performance sonosensitizers for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Porphyrinic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as prospective materials in photodynamic and photothermal sterilization. However, it is still a great challenge to construct an efficient COF-based sterilizing agent with good photothermal and photodynamic properties and bacterial targeting ability. Herein, we report a multifunctional porphyrin-COF for bacterial-targeted and reaction-enhanced synergistic phototherapy/chemotherapy for sterilization and wound healing. The ordered crystal structure of the porphyrin-COF not only effectively avoids the self-aggregation-induced quenching of the porphyrin monomer, but also facilitates the storage and transport of singlet oxygen. The acrylate substituent in the other monomer serves as a bacterial targeting moiety and the in situ reaction site with the sulfhydryl group of the bacterial surface protein via a Michael addition reaction, thus fixing the bacteria on the surface of COF and making them lose the colonization ability. Furthermore, the bonding of COF and bacteria further amplifies the therapeutic efficiency of phototherapy. Therefore, the developed multifunctional sterilization platform not only provides a new strategy for the design of novel bactericidal materials but also broadens the biological applications of COF-based materials.

Abstract
Aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effects of photosensitizers severely cut down the generation of quantum yield of singlet oxygen (1O2) for effective photodynamic therapy (PDT). Herein, we accomplish a deaggregation-enhanced 1O2 production strategy by the noncovalent coordination of a clinically applied triterpenoid oleanolic acid (OA) and hematoporphyrin (Hp) via one-step self-assembly, forming a nanosensitizer OH, in which Hp is interspersed on the surface of the OA matrix in a face-to-face manner. The scattered arrangement of Hp held by the OA matrix decreases the π-π aggregation in Hp, leading to a 3.7-fold boost in the intracellular 1O2 yield and high phototoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the biologically active OA enables OH to display excellent cellular uptake efficiency (increase by 36-fold), deep tumor penetration, and synergistic antitumor outcome at a low dose. Thus, this simple strategy paves the way for the green development of efficient photosensitizers.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to cause cell apoptosis and induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) to activate immune response, becoming a promising antitumor modality. However, the overexpressions of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) on tumor cells would reduce cytotoxic T cells infiltration and inhibit the immune activation. In this paper, a simple but effective nanosystem is developed to solve these issues for enhanced photodynamic immunotherapy. Specifically, it has been constructed a self-delivery biomedicine (CeNB) based on photosensitizer chlorine e6 (Ce6), IDO inhibitor (NLG919), and PD1/PDL1 blocker (BMS-1) without the need for extra excipients. Of note, CeNB possesses fairly high drug content (nearly 100%), favorable stability, and uniform morphology. More importantly, CeNB-mediated IDO inhibition and PD1/PDL1 blockade greatly improve the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments to promote immune activation. The PDT of CeNB not only inhibits tumor proliferation but also induces ICD response to activate immunological cascade. Ultimately, self-delivery CeNB tremendously suppresses the tumor growth and metastasis while leads to a minimized side effect. Such simple and effective antitumor strategy overcomes the therapeutic resistance against PDT-initiated immunotherapy, suggesting a potential for metastatic tumor treatment in clinic.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer remains one of serious hazards to human health due to many drawbacks of existing available treatment options. In this study, a multifunctional chemo-thermo combined therapy nanoplatform (OMCNPID) was successfully prepared, which is composed of I6P8 peptide as a targeting moiety to interleukin-6 receptors (IL-6Rs), oxidized mesoporous carbon nanospheres (OMCN) as a near infrared (NIR)-triggered drug carrier and doxorubicin (DOX) as a chemotherapeutic drug and fluorescent agent. The synthesized multifunctional nanoplatform displayed high storage capacity for drugs and excellent photothermal properties. Besides, DOX was rapidly released from OMCNPID at the condition of low pH and NIR laser irradiation due to the dissociation of DOX from graphitic cores of OMCN. In vitro experimental results verified that OMCNPID could be markedly taken up by SKOV-3 monolayer cells and tumor spheroids, and revealed a remarkable synergistic chemo-photothermal effect against ovarian cancer. All the results demonstrated that OMCNPID is a pH/NIR dual-stimulus responsive nanoplatform and can achieve efficient chemo-thermo combined therapy.

Abstract
To improve the therapeutic effect of sonodynamic therapy (SDT), more effective and stable sonosensitizers and therapeutic strategies are still required. A covalent organic framework (COF) sonosensitizer is developed by using a new nanoscale COF preparation strategy. This strategy uses molecular etching based on the imine exchange reaction to etch the bulk COF into nanoparticles and has universal applicability to imine-bond-based COF. The regular COF structure can prevent the loss of sonodynamic performance caused by the aggregation of porphyrin molecules and improve the chemical stability of the porphyrin unit. In addition, the coordination of Fe3+ to COF endows the nanoparticle with chemodynamic therapy performance and glutathione consumption ability. The combination of enhanced SDT and α-PD-L1 antibody achieves a good antitumor effect. The innovative nanoscale COF sonosensitizer preparation strategy provides a new avenue for clinical antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most harmful diseases in the world, which causes huge numbers of deaths every year. Many drugs have been developed to treat tumors. However, drug resistance usually develops after a period of time, which greatly weakens the therapeutic effect. Tumor drug resistance is characterized by blocking the action of anticancer drugs, resisting apoptosis and DNA repair, and evading immune recognition. To tackle tumor drug resistance, many engineered drug delivery systems (DDS) have been developed. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are one kind of emerging and promising nanocarriers for DDS with high surface area and abundant active sites that make the functionalization simpler and more efficient. These features enable MOFs to achieve advantages easily towards other materials. In this review, we highlight the main mechanisms of tumor drug resistance and the characteristics of MOFs. The applications and opportunities of MOF-based DDS to overcome tumor drug resistance are also discussed, shedding light on the future development of MOFs to address tumor drug resistance.

Abstract
Due to their excellent electronic and optical properties, porphyrins are extensively studied conjugated macrocycles in supramolecular chemistry for assembling functional nanomaterials. Although the aggregation of monomers plays a significant role in driving the self-assembly process into ordered nanostructures, it remains a challenge for tuning the self-assembling behavior of porphyrins through molecular structure modifications, especially in aqueous solutions. In the present work, two novel water-soluble porphyrin derivatives were synthesized by introducing cationic linear side chains into the π-conjugated core for phosphate-templated assembly through electrostatic interactions. It was found that the stacking patterns (H- or J-type aggregation) of porphyrins could be tuned by varying the number of side chains, which are associated with dramatic morphological change. The cytotoxicity and photodynamic properties of the J-aggregation-driven nano-assemblies were also investigated for the purpose of anti-cancer treatment. This study demonstrates a facile and effective strategy to regulate the aqueous self-assembling behavior of porphyrins that can impact the structure and properties of assembly, which will be of great benefit to the design and synthesis of functional nanomaterials for specific applications.

Abstract
The construction of non-viral gene delivery faces two major challenges: cytotoxicity caused by high cationic charge units and easy degradation by lysosomes. Herein, highly water-dispersible polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) nanosheets were utilized as the core to construct a light-controlled non-cationic gene delivery system with sufficient lysosomal escape ability. In this system, these nanosheets exhibited efficient DNA condensation, outstanding biocompatibility, transfection tracking, light responsiveness and high transfection efficiency. Once PCN-DNA was taken up by the tumor cells, the accumulated ROS generated by photosensitizers (PSs) under light irradiation would destroy the structure of lysosomes, promote the escape of PCN-DNA and increase the efficiency of gene transfection. Simultaneously, the gene transfection process could be tracked in real time through fluorescence imaging technology, which was conducive to investigate the transfection mechanism. In vitro and in vivo experiments further confirmed that PCN nanosheets loaded with the P53 gene were beneficial to the regeneration of the P53 apoptotic pathway, increased tumor sensitivity to PSs, and further induced tumor cell apoptosis. In summary, the highly water-dispersible PCN nanosheets were applied to light-controlled self-escaping gene delivery for the first time, and tumor gene therapy was successfully realized.

Abstract
The covalent organic frameworks (COFs) so far are usually built with small aromatic subunits, which makes their absorption spectra mainly located in the high-energy part of the visible region. In this work, we have developed a COF with a low band gap by integrating electron-deficient thienoisoindigo and electron-rich triphenylamine. The intramolecular charge-transfer effect combining the extended length of the π-conjugated backbone of COF endow it with broad absorption even to the second near-infrared region. After optimizing the solvent, a uniform size and colloidal stable COF is obtained. Benefiting from the coplanar structure of the monomer, this COF achieves a considerable photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of 48.2%. With these advantages, it displays convincing cancer cell killing effect upon laser irradiation in vitro or in vivo. This work provides a simple and practical method to acquire promising a COF-based phototherapy reagent that is applied in biomedicine field.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has evolved as a revolutionized therapeutic modality to eradicate tumor cells by releasing the brake of the antitumor immune response. However, only a subset of patients could benefit from ICB treatment currently. Phototherapy usually includes photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). PTT exerts a local therapeutic effect by using photothermal agents to generate heat upon laser irradiation. PDT utilizes irradiated photosensitizers with a laser to produce reactive oxygen species to kill the target cells. Both PTT and PDT can induce immunogenic cell death in tumors to activate antigen-presenting cells and promote T cell infiltration. Therefore, combining ICB treatment with PTT/PDT can enhance the antitumor immune response and prevent tumor metastases and recurrence. In this review, we summarized the mechanism of phototherapy in cancer immunotherapy and discussed the recent advances in the development of phototherapy combined with ICB therapy to treat malignant tumors. Moreover, we also outlined the significant progress of phototherapy combined with targeted therapy or chemotherapy to improve ICB in preclinical and clinical studies. Finally, we analyzed the current challenges of this novel combination treatment regimen. We believe that the next-generation technology breakthrough in cancer treatment may come from this combinational win-win strategy of photoimmunotherapy.
