Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive and challenging malignancy with limited treatment options, largely attributed to the dense tumor stroma and intrinsic drug resistance. Here, we introduce a novel iron-containing nanoparticle formulation termed PTFE, loaded with the ferroptosis inducer Erastin, to overcome these obstacles and enhance pancreatic cancer therapy. The PTFE nanoparticles were prepared through a one-step assembly process, consisting of an Erastin-loaded PLGA core stabilized by a MOF shell formed by coordination between Fe3+ and tannic acid. PTFE demonstrated a unique capability to repolarize tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) into the M1 phenotype, leading to the regulation of dense tumor stroma by modulating the activation of tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAFs) and reducing collagen deposition. This resulted in enhanced nanoparticle accumulation and deep penetration, as confirmed by in vitro multicellular tumor spheroids and in vivo mesenchymal-rich subcutaneous pancreatic tumor models. Moreover, PTFE effectively combated tumor resistance by synergistically employing the Fe3+-induced Fenton reaction and Erastin-induced ferroptosis, thereby disrupting the redox balance. As a result, significant tumor growth inhibition was achieved in mice-bearing tumor model. Comprehensive safety evaluations demonstrated PTFE's favorable biocompatibility, highlighting its potential as a promising therapeutic platform to effectively address the formidable challenges in pancreatic cancer treatment.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease, leading to severe inflammatory infiltration and joint damage, accompanied by a decrease in pH of joint microenvironment. Macrophages play an important role in the pathogenesis of RA, with high expression of bovine serum albumin (BSA) receptors on the surface of macrophages. Resveratrol (Res) has strong anti-inflammatory effects, but its application is limited due to its poor water solubility and low bioavailability. Therefore, we constructed pH-sensitive micelles by encapsulating Res and modifying BSA on the surface of the micelles (BSA-Res@Ms), thereby greatly improving the therapeutic effect of RA. Our research results indicated that BSA-Res@Ms had a smooth and uniform appearance, small particle size, high drug encapsulation efficiency, good stability, and pH-sensitive properties. In vitro, BSA-Res@Ms increased the uptake of Res by RAW264.7 cells, reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cleared excess ROS produced by activated RAW264.7 cells, and inhibited the generation of osteoclasts. In vivo, BSA-Res@Ms could target inflamed joint sites, significantly alleviate joint inflammation symptoms, inhibit activated macrophages, improve synovial hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration, and protect cartilage. BSA-Res@Ms provide a very promising method for the treatment of RA, which can effectively improve the inflammatory manifestations of RA.

Abstract
Ischemic osteonecrosis, particularly glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GIONFH), is primarily due to the dysfunction of osteogenesis and angiogenesis. miRNA, as a therapeutic system with immense potential, plays a vital role in the treatment of various diseases. However, due to the unique microenvironmental structure of bone tissue, especially in the case of GIONFH, where there is a deficiency in the vascular system, it is challenging to effectively target and deliver to the ischemic osteonecrosis area. A drug delivery system assisted by genetically engineered cell membranes holds promise in addressing the challenge of targeted miRNA delivery. Herein, we leverage the potential of miR-21 in modulating osteogenesis and angiogenesis to design an innovative biomimetic nanoplatform system. First, we employed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the core structure to load miR-21-m (miR-21-m@MOF). The nanoparticles were further coated with the membrane of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing CXCR4 (CM-miR-21-m@MOF), enhancing their ability to target ischemic bone areas via the CXCR4-SDF1 axis. These biomimetic nanocomposites possess both bone-targeting and ischemia-guiding capabilities, actively targeting GIONFH lesions to release miR-21-m into target cells, thereby silencing PTEN gene and activating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway to regulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis. This innovative miRNA delivery system provides a promising therapeutic avenue for GIONFH and potentially other related ischemic bone diseases. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1. CXCR4-Engineered Membranes Enhance Targeting for Ischemic Osteonecrosis. 2. miR-21-Based Gene Therapy for Regulating Osteogenesis and Angiogenesis. 3. Expanding the Use of Membrane-Cloaked MOF Nanoparticles.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complicated chronic disorder of the immune system, featured with severe inflammatory joints, synovium hyperplasia, articular cartilage, and bone damage. In the RA microenvironment, RA-involved cells, overproduced nitric oxide (NO), and pro-inflammatory cytokines are highly interplayed and mutually reinforced, which form a vicious circle and play crucial roles in the formation and progression of RA. To comprehensively break the vicious circle and obtain the maximum benefits, we have developed neutrophil membrane-camouflaged NO scavenging nanoparticles based on an NO-responsive hyaluronic acid derivative for delivery of MTX. These multifunctional nanoparticles (NNO-NPs/MTX), by inheriting the membrane functions of the source cells, possess prolonged circulation and specific localization at the inflamed sites when administrated in the body. Remarkably, NNO-NPs/MTX can neutralize the pro-inflammatory cytokines via the outer membrane receptors, scavenge NO, and be responsively disassociated to release MTX for RA-involved cell regulation and HA for lubrication in the RA sites. In a collagen-induced arthritis mouse model, NNO-NPs/MTX exhibits a significant anti-inflammation effect and effectively alleviates the characteristic RA symptoms such as synovial hyperplasia and cartilage destruction, realizing the synergistic and boosted therapeutic outcome against intractable RA. Thus, NNO-NPs/MTX provides a promising and potent platform to integrately treat RA.

Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) represents a critical cardiovascular condition characterized by localized dilation of the abdominal aorta, carrying a significant risk of rupture and mortality. Current treatment options are limited, necessitating novel therapeutic approaches. This study investigates the potential of a pioneering nanodrug delivery system, RAP@PFB, in mitigating AAA progression. RAP@PFB integrates pentagalloyl glucose (PGG) and rapamycin (RAP) within a metal-organic-framework (MOF) structure through a facile assembly process, ensuring remarkable drug loading capacity and colloidal stability. The synergistic effects of PGG, a polyphenolic antioxidant, and RAP, an mTOR inhibitor, collectively regulate key players in AAA pathogenesis, such as macrophages and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). In macrophages, RAP@PFB efficiently scavenges various free radicals, suppresses inflammation, and promotes M1-to-M2 phenotype repolarization. In SMCs, it inhibits apoptosis and calcification, thereby stabilizing the extracellular matrix and reducing the risk of AAA rupture. Administered intravenously, RAP@PFB exhibits effective accumulation at the AAA site, demonstrating robust efficacy in reducing AAA progression through multiple mechanisms. Moreover, RAP@PFB demonstrates favorable biosafety profiles, supporting its potential translation into clinical applications for AAA therapy.

Abstract
Wound healing and infection remain significant challenges due to the ineffectiveness against multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and the complex oxidative wound microenvironments. To address these issues, thymoquinone-reinforced injectable and thermosensitive TQ@PEG-PAF-Cur hydrogels with dual functions of microenvironment reshaping and photodynamic therapy are developed. The hydrogel comprises natural compound thymoquinone (TQ) and poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (alanine-co-phenyl alanine) copolymers (PEG-PAF) conjugated with natural photosensitizer curcumin (Cur). The incorporation of TQ and Cur reduces the sol-to-gel transition temperature of TQ@PEG-PAF-Cur to 30°C, compared to PEG-PAF hydrogel (37°C), due to the formation of strong hydrogen bonding, matching the wound microenvironment temperature. Under blue light excitation, TQ@PEG-PAF-Cur generates significant amounts of reactive oxygen species such as H2O2, 1O2, and ·OH, exhibiting rapid and efficient bactericidal capacities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and broad spectrum β-lactamases Escherichia coli via photodynamic therapy (PDT). Additionally, Cur effectively inhibits the expressions of proinflammatory cytokines in skin tissue-forming cells. As a result, the composite hydrogel can rapidly transform into a gel to cover the wound, reshape the wound microenvironment, and accelerate wound healing in vivo. This collaborative antibacterial strategy provides valuable insights to guide the development of multifunctional materials for efficient wound healing.

Abstract
The complex genomics, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), and chemotherapeutic resistance of osteosarcoma (OS) have resulted in limited therapeutic effects in the clinic. Ferroptosis is involved in tumor progression and is regulated mainly by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based RNA interference (RNAi) can precisely target any gene. However, achieving effective siRNA delivery is highly challenging. Here, we fabricated a TME-responsive metal-organic framework (MOF)-based biomimetic nanosystem (mFeP@si) with siGPX4 delivery and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) to treat OS by targeting ferroptosis. Under ultrasound (US) irradiation, mFeP@si achieves lysosomal escape via singlet oxygen (1O2)-mediated lysosomal membrane disruption and then accelerates ROS generation and glutathione (GSH) depletion. Meanwhile, siGPX4 silences GPX4 expression by binding to GPX4 mRNA and leads to the accumulation of toxic phospholipid hydroperoxides (PL-OOH), further magnifying the ROS storm and triggering ferroptosis. Notably, synergistic therapy remarkably enhances antitumor effects, improves the immunosuppressive TME by inducing potent immunogenic cell death (ICD), and increases the sensitivity of chemotherapy-resistant OS cells to cisplatin. Overall, this novel nanosystem, which targets ferroptosis by integrating RNAi and SDT, exhibits strong antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo, providing new insights for treating OS.

Abstract
Conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) faces a dilemma: low-power is insufficient to kill pro-inflammatory cells while high-power exacerbates inflammation. Herein, mitochondrial targeting is introduced in PDT of RA to implement a "less-is-more" strategy, where higher apoptosis in pro-inflammatory cells are achieved with lower laser power. In arthritic rats, chlorine 6-loaded and mitochondria-targeting liposomes (Ce6@M-Lip) passively accumulated in inflamed joints, entered pro-inflammatory macrophages, and actively localized to mitochondria, leading to enhanced mitochondrial dysfunction under laser irradiation. By effectively disrupting mitochondria, pro-inflammatory macrophages are more susceptible to PDT, resulting in increased apoptosis initiation. Additionally, it identifies that high-power irradiation caused cell rupture and release of endogenous danger signals that recruited and activated additional macrophages. In contrast, under low-power irradiation, mitochondria-targeting Ce6@M-Lip not only prevented inflammation but also reduced pro-inflammatory macrophage infiltration and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. Overall, targeting mitochondria reconciled therapeutic efficacy and inflammation, thus enabling efficacious yet inflammation-sparing PDT for RA. This highlights the promise of mitochondrial targeting to resolve the dilemma between anti-inflammatory efficacy and inflammatory exacerbation in PDT by implementing a "less-is-more" strategy.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a significant contributor to cardiovascular events. Advanced AS is particularly concerning, as it leads to the formation of high-risk vulnerable plaques. Current treatments for AS focus on antithrombotic and lipid-lowering interventions, which are effective in treating early-stage AS. Recent studies have shown that macrophage polarization plays a crucial role in the development of AS. This study presents a new biomedical application of natural tannic acid as an anti-inflammatory nanoplatform for advanced AS. Tannic acid-poloxamer nanoparticles (TPNP) are fabricated through self-assembly of tannic acid (TA) and poloxamer. TPNP has the potential to provide effective treatment for advanced AS. According to in vitro studies, TPNP has been found to suppress the inflammatory response in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), downregulating the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α) and regulating polarization of macrophages. In vivo studies further reveal that TPNP can retard the development of advanced atherosclerotic plaques by reducing ROS production and promoting M2 macrophage polarization in the aorta of ApoE-/- mice. Overall, these findings suggest that TPNP could be used to develop natural multifunctional nanoplatforms for molecular therapy of AS and other inflammation-related diseases.

Inhalable metal-organic framework-mediated cuproptosis combined with PD-L1 checkpoint blockade for lung metastasis synergistic immunotherapy. Acta Pharm Sin B 2024; 14:2281-2297.

Abstract
Cuproptosis shows enormous application prospects in lung metastasis treatment. However, the glycolysis, Cu+ efflux mechanisms, and insufficient lung drug accumulation severely restrict cuproptosis efficacy. Herein, an inhalable poly (2-(N-oxide-N,N-diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (OPDEA)-coated copper-based metal-organic framework encapsulating pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 siRNA (siPDK) is constructed for mediating cuproptosis and subsequently promoting lung metastasis immunotherapy, namely OMP. After inhalation, OMP shows highly efficient lung accumulation and long-term retention, ascribing to the OPDEA-mediated pulmonary mucosa penetration. Within tumor cells, OMP is degraded to release Cu2+ under acidic condition, which will be reduced to toxic Cu+ to induce cuproptosis under glutathione (GSH) regulation. Meanwhile, siPDK released from OMP inhibits intracellular glycolysis and adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) production, then blocking the Cu+ efflux protein ATP7B, thereby rendering tumor cells more sensitive to OMP-mediated cuproptosis. Moreover, OMP-mediated cuproptosis triggers immunogenic cell death (ICD) to promote dendritic cells (DCs) maturation and CD8+ T cells infiltration. Notably, OMP-induced cuproptosis up-regulates membrane-associated programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and induces soluble PD-L1 secretion, and thus synergizes with anti-PD-L1 antibodies (aPD-L1) to reprogram immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, finally yielding improved immunotherapy efficacy. Overall, OMP may serve as an efficient inhalable nanoplatform and afford preferable efficacy against lung metastasis through inducing cuproptosis and combining with aPD-L1.

Abstract
Gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi), particularly using small double-stranded RNA (siRNA), has been identified as a potent strategy for targeted cancer treatment. Yet, its application faces challenges such as nuclease degradation, inefficient cellular uptake, endosomal entrapment, off-target effects, and immune responses, which have hindered its effective delivery. In the past few years, these challenges have been addressed significantly by using camouflaged metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocarriers. These nanocarriers protect siRNA from degradation, enhance cellular uptake, and reduce unintended side effects by effectively targeting desired cells while evading immune detection. By combining the properties of biomimetic membranes and MOFs, these nanocarriers offer superior benefits such as extended circulation times, enhanced stability, and reduced immune responses. Moreover, through ligand-receptor interactions, biomimetic membrane-coated MOFs achieve homologous targeting, minimizing off-target adverse effects. The MOFs, acting as the core, efficiently encapsulate and protect siRNA molecules, while the biomimetic membrane-coated surface provides homologous targeting, further increasing the precision of siRNA delivery to cancer cells. In particular, the biomimetic membranes help to shield the MOFs from the immune system, avoiding unwanted immune responses and improving their biocompatibility. The combination of siRNA with innovative nanocarriers, such as camouflaged-MOFs, presents a significant advancement in cancer therapy. The ability to deliver siRNA with precision and effectiveness using these camouflaged nanocarriers holds great promise for achieving more personalized and efficient cancer treatments in the future. This review article discusses the significant progress made in the development of siRNA therapeutics for cancer, focusing on their effective delivery through novel nanocarriers, with a particular emphasis on the role of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as camouflaged nanocarriers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a prevalent inflammatory autoimmune disease characterised by persistent inflammation and joint damage with elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Current treatment modalities for RA have significant limitations, including poor bioavailability, severe side effects, and inadequate targeting of inflamed joints. Herein, we synthesised cerium/manganese oxide nanoparticles (NPs) as efficient drug carriers with antioxidant and catalytic-like functions that can eliminate ROS to facilitate the polarization of macrophages phenotype from M1 to M2 and alleviate inflammation. Methotrexate (MTX), a first-line RA medication, was loaded into the NPs, which were further modified with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and integrated into dissolving hyaluronic acid-based microneedles (MNs) for transdermal delivery. RESULT This innovative approach significantly enhanced drug delivery efficiency, reduced RA inflammation, and successfully modulated macrophage polarization toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype. CONCLUSION This research not only presents a promising drug delivery strategy for RA but also contributes broadly to the field of immune disease treatment by offering an advanced approach for macrophage phenotypic reprogramming.

Abstract
Based on the pathological characteristics of rheumatoid arthritis, including the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammatory responses, and osteoclast differentiation, a biomimetic multifunctional nanomedicine (M-M@I) is designed. Iguratimod (IGU) is loaded, which inhibits inflammatory responses and osteoclast differentiation, into mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA), which scavenges ROS. Subsequently, the nanoparticles are coated with a cell membrane of macrophages to achieve actively targeted delivery of the nanoparticles to inflamed joints. It is shown that the M-M@I nanoparticles are taken up well by lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages or bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). In vitro, the M-M@I nanoparticles effectively scavenge ROS, downregulate genes related to inflammation promotion and osteoclast differentiation, and reduce the proinflammatory cytokines and osteoclast-related enzymes. They also reduce the polarization of macrophages to a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype and inhibit differentiation into osteoclasts. In mice with collagen-induced arthritis, the M-M@I nanoparticles accumulate at arthritic sites and circulate longer, significantly mitigating arthritis symptoms and bone destruction. These results suggest that the pathology-specific biomimetic multifunctional nanoparticles are effective against rheumatoid arthritis, and they validate the approach of developing multifunctional therapies that target various pathological processes simultaneously.

Abstract
Given the crucial role of immune system in the occurrence and progression of various diseases such as cancer, wound healing, bone defect, and inflammation-related diseases, immunomodulation is recognized as a potential solution for treatment of these diseases. Immunomodulation includes both immunosuppression in hyperactive immune conditions and immune activation in hypoactive conditions. For these purposes, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are investigated to modulate immune responses either by their own bioactivities or by delivering immunomodulatory agents due to their excellent biodegradability and high delivery capacity. This review starts with an overview of the synthesis strategies of immunomodulatory MOFs, followed by a summarization on the latest applications of immunomodulatory MOFs in cancer immunomodulatory, wound healing, inflammatory disease, and bone tissue engineering. A variety of design considerations, in order to optimize immunomodulatory properties and efficacy of MOFs, is also involved. Last, the challenges and perspectives of future research, which are expected to provide researchers with new insight into the design and application of immunomodulatory MOFs, are discussed.

Abstract
Real-time, noninvasive, and nonradiative bone imaging can directly visualize bone health but requires bone-targeted probes with high specificity. Herein, we propose that carboxyl-rich fluorescent nanoprobes are easily absorbed by macrophages in bone marrow during circulation, enabling optical bone marrow imaging in vivo. We used PbS/CdS core-shell quantum dots with NIR-IIb (1500-1700 nm) emission as substrates to prepare the carboxyl-rich nanoprobe. In vivo NIR-IIb fluorescence imaging with the nanoprobes showed high resolution and penetration depth in bone tissues and allowed for imaging-guided fracture diagnosis. Bone tissue slices showed substantial accumulation of carboxyl nanoprobes in the bone marrow and strong colocalization with macrophages. Similar results with CdSe quantum dots and an organic nanofluorophore suggest that carboxyl surface modification is effective to achieve bone marrow targeting, providing a novel strategy for developing bone/bone marrow imaging probes.

Abstract
Activated M1-type macrophages, which produce inflammatory factors that exacerbate rheumatoid arthritis (RA), represent crucial target cells for inhibiting the disease process. In this study, we developed a novel photoresponsive targeted drug delivery system (TPNPs-HA) that can effectively deliver the hypoxia-activated prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) specifically to activated macrophages. After administration, this metal-organic framework, PCN-224, constructed uing the photosensitizer porphyrin, exhibits the ability to generate excessive toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to near-infrared light. Additionally, the oxygen-consumed hypoxic environment further activates the chemotherapeutic effect of TPZ, thus creating a synergistic combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and hypoxia-activated chemotherapy (HaCT) to promote the elimination of activated M1-type macrophages. The results highlight the significantly potential of this photoresponsive nano-delivery system in providing substantial relief for RA. Furthermore, these findings support its effectiveness in inhibiting the disease process of RA, thereby offering new possibilities for the development of precise and accurate strategies for RA.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with biocompatible and bio-friendly properties, exhibit intriguing potential for the drug delivery system and imaging-guided synergistic cancer theranostics. Even though tremendous attention has been attracted on MOFs-based therapeutics, which play a crucial role in therapeutic drugs, gene, and biomedical agents delivery of cancer therapy, they are often explored as simple nanocarriers without further "intelligent" functions. Herein, Fe-doped MOFs with CoP nanoparticles loading were rationally designed and synthesized for photothermal enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated treatment. Fe-ZIFs@CoP could generate efficient ROS through the Fenton reaction while depleting glutathione for amplifying oxidative stress. Particularly, due to the photothermal effect of Fe-ZIFs@CoP, the hyperthermia generated by as-synthesized Fe-ZIFs@CoP facilitated the advanced performance of the Fenton effect for a high amount of ROS generation. The promising "all-in-one" synergistic MOFs platform herein reported provides some prospects for future directions in this area.

Abstract
Background As a broad-spectrum antitumorigenic agent, doxorubicin (DOX) is commonly used as a chemotherapeutic drug for treating osteosarcoma (OS). Still, it is associated with significant cell toxicity and ineffective drug delivery, whereas the zeolite imidazolate framework is extensively applied in the biomedical field as a carrier owing to its favorable biocompatibility, high porosity, and pH-responsiveness. Therefore, we need to develop a drug delivery platform that can effectively increase the antitumorigenic effect of the loaded drug and concurrently minimize drug toxicity. Methods In this study, a Fe3O4@ZIF-8 nanocomposite carrier was prepared with ZIF-8 as the shell and encapsulated with Fe3O4 by loading DOX to form DOX- Fe3O4@ZIF-8 (DFZ) drug-loaded magnetic nanoparticles. Then, we characterized and analyzed the morphology, particle size, and characteristics of Fe3O4@ZIF-8 and DFZ by TEM, SEM, and Malvern. Moreover, we examined the inhibitory effects of DFZ in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, we established a tumor-bearing mouse model, evaluating its tumor-targeting by external magnetic field guidance. Results DFZ nanoparticles possessed have a size of ~110 nm, with an encapsulation rate of 21% and pH responsiveness. DFZ exerted a superior cytostatic effect and apoptosis rate on K7M2 cells in vitro compared to DOX(p<0.01). In animal experiments, DFZ offers up to 67% tumor inhibition and has shown a superior ability to induce apoptosis than DOX alone in TUNEL results(p<0.01). Tumor-targeting experiments have validated that DFZ can be effectively accumulated in the tumor tissue and enhance anticancer performance. Conclusion In summary, the DFZ nano-delivery system exhibited a more substantial anti-tumorigenic effect as well as superior active tumor targeting of DOX- Fe3O4@ZIF-8 compared to that of DOX alone in terms of biocompatibility, drug loading capacity, pH-responsiveness, tumor-targeting, and anti-tumorigenic effect, indicating its chemotherapeutic application potential.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease commonly associated with the accumulation of hyperactive immune cells (HICs), particularly macrophages of pro-inflammatory (M1) phenotype, accompanied by the elevated level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreased pH and O2 content in joint synovium. In this work, an immunomodulatory nanosystem (IMN) is developed for RA therapy by modulating and restoring the function of HICs in inflamed tissues. Manganese tetraoxide nanoparticles (Mn3 O4 ) nanoparticles anchored on UiO-66-NH2 are designed, and then the hybrid is coated with Mn-EGCG film, further wrapped with HA to obtain the final nanocomposite of UiO-66-NH2 @Mn3 O4 /Mn-EGCG@HA (termed as UMnEH). When UMnEH diffuses to the inflammatory site of RA synovium, the stimulation of microwave (MW) irradiation and low pH trigger the slow dissociation of Mn-EGCG film. Then the endogenously overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) disintegrates the exposed Mn3 O4 NPs to promote ROS scavenging and O2 generation. Assisted by MW irradiation, the elevated O2 content in the RA microenvironment down-regulates the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Coupled with the clearance of ROS, it promotes the re-polarization of M1 phenotype macrophages into anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype macrophages. Therefore, the multifunctional UMnEH nanoplatform, as the IMN, exhibits a promising potential to modulate and restore the function of HICs and has an exciting prospect in the treatment of RA.

Abstract
Normalizing inflamed soils including reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), cell-free DNA, and regulating inflammation-related seeds such as macrophages, neutrophils, fibroblasts, represent a promising strategy to maintain synovial tissue homeostasis for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. Herein, ROS scavenging amphiphilic block copolymer PEGylated bilirubin and NO-scavenging PEGylated o-phenylenediamine were fabricated to self-assemble into a dually responsive nanoparticle loaded with JAK inhibitor notopterol (Not@BR/oPDA-PEG, NBOP NPs). The simultaneous ROS and NO depletion combined with JAK-STAT pathway inhibition could not only promote M2 polarization to reduce further ROS and NO generation, but also decrease cytokines and chemokines to prevent immune cell recruitment. Specifically, NBOP NPs responded to high level ROS and NO, and disintegrated to release notopterol in inflamed joints as the hydrophobic heads BR and oPDA were transformed into hydrophilic ones. The released notopterol could inhibit the JAK-STAT pathway of inflammatory cells to reduce the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This strategy represented an effective way to regulate RA soils and seeds through breaking the positive feedback loop of inflammation aggravation, achieving an excellent anti-RA efficacy in a collagen-induced arthritis rat model. Taken together, our work offered a reference to adjust RA soils and seeds for enhanced RA treatment.

Abstract
RNA therapeutics can manipulate gene expression or protein production, making them suitable for treating a wide range of diseases. Theoretically, any disease that has a definite biological target would probably find feasible therapeutic approach from RNA-based therapeutics. Numerous clinical trials using RNA therapeutics fighting against cancer, infectious diseases or inherited diseases have been reported and achieved desirable therapeutic efficacy. So far, encouraging findings from various animal experimental studies have also confirmed the great potential of RNA-based therapies in the treatment of rheumatic arthritis (RA). However, the in vivo multiple physiological barriers still seriously compromise the therapeutic efficacy of RNA drugs. Thus, safe and effective delivery strategies for RNA therapeutics are quite essential for their further and wide application in RA therapy. In this review, we will discuss the recent progress achieved using RNA-based therapeutics and focus on delivery strategies that can overcome the in vivo delivery barriers in RA treatment. Furthermore, discussion about the existing problems in current RNA delivery systems for RA therapy has been also included here.

Abstract
Gene therapy that employs therapeutic nucleic acids to modulate gene expression has shown great promise for diseases therapy, and its clinical application relies on the development of effective gene vector. Herein a novel gene delivery strategy by just using natural polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) as raw material is reported. EGCG first intercalates into nucleic acids to yield a complex, which then oxidizes and self-polymerizes to form tea polyphenols nanoparticles (TPNs) for effective nucleic acids encapsulation. This is a general method to load any types of nucleic acids with single or double strands and short or long sequences. Such TPNs-based vector achieves comparable gene loading capacity to commonly used cationic materials, but showing lower cytotoxicity. TPNs can effectively penetrate inside cells, escape from endo/lysosomes, and release nucleic acids in response to intracellular glutathione to exert biological functions. To demonstrate the in vivo application, an anti-caspase-3 small interfering ribonucleic acid is loaded into TPNs to treat concanavalin A-induced acute hepatitis, and excellent therapeutic efficacy is obtained in combination with the intrinsic activities of TPNs vector. This work provides a simple, versatile, and cost-effective gene delivery strategy. Given the biocompatibility and intrinsic biofunctions, this TPNs-based gene vector holds great potential to treat various diseases.

Targeting lncRNA DDIT4-AS1 Sensitizes Triple Negative Breast Cancer to Chemotherapy via Suppressing of Autophagy. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023:e2207257.

Abstract
In this study, it is found that the lncRNA, DNA damage inducible transcript 4 antisense RNA1 (DDIT4-AS1), is highly expressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines and tissues due to H3K27 acetylation in the promoter region, and promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of TNBC cells via activating autophagy. Mechanistically, it is shown that DDIT4-AS1 induces autophagy by stabilizing DDIT4 mRNA via recruiting the RNA binding protein AUF1 and promoting the interaction between DDIT4 mRNA and AUF1, thereby inhibiting mTOR signaling pathway. Furthermore, silencing of DDIT4-AS1 enhances the sensitivity of TNBC cells to chemotherapeutic agents such as paclitaxel both in vitro and in vivo. Using a self-activatable siRNA/drug core-shell nanoparticle system, which effectively deliver both DDIT4-AS1 siRNA and paclitaxel to the tumor-bearing mice, a significantly enhanced antitumor activity is achieved. Importantly, the codelivery nanoparticles exert a stronger antitumor effect on breast cancer patient-derived organoids. These findings indicate that lncRNA DDIT4-AS1-mediated activation of autophagy promotes progression and chemoresistance of TNBC, and targeting of DDIT4-AS1 may be exploited as a new therapeutic approach to enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy against TNBC.

Abstract
Progress has been made in the application of nanomedicine in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. However, the whole process of monitoring and treatment of RA remains a formidable challenge due to the complexity of the chronic autoimmune disease. In this study, we develop a Janus nanoplatform (denoted as Janus-CPS) composed of CeO2-Pt nanozyme subunit on one side and periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) subunit on another side for simultaneous early diagnosis and synergistic therapy of RA. The Janus nanostructure, which enables more active sites to be exposed, enhances the reactive oxygen species scavenging capability of CeO2-Pt nanozyme subunit as compared to their core-shell counterpart. Furthermore, micheliolide (MCL), an extracted compound from natural plants with anti-osteoclastogenesis effects, is loaded into the mesopores of PMO subunit to synergize with the anti-inflammation effect of nanozymes for efficient RA treatment, which has been demonstrated by in vitro cellular experiments and in vivo collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model. In addition, by taking advantage of the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescent imaging, indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded Janus-CPS exhibits desirable effectiveness in detecting RA lesions at a very early stage. It is anticipated that such a Janus nanoplatform may offer an alternative strategy of functional integration for versatile theranostics.

Abstract
A novel sandwich electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (AIECL-RET) was designed for the sensitive detection of amyloid β42 (Aβ42). The synthesized silver nanoparticle-functionalized zinc metal-organic framework (Ag@ZnPTC) and gold nanoparticle-functionalized zirconium organic framework (Au@UiO-66-NH2) were used as the ECL donor and acceptor, respectively. AgNPs were generated in situ on the surface of ZnPTC, which further improved the ECL intensity and the loading of antibody 1 (Ab1). Under the optimized experimental conditions, the linear detection range of Aβ42 concentration was 10 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL, and the detection limit was 2.4 fg/mL (S/N = 3). The recoveries of Aβ42 were 99.5-104%. The method has good stability, repeatability, and specificity. Ag@ZnPTC/Au@UiO-66-NH2 provides an assay for the sensitive detection of disease biomarkers.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic immune disease characterized by synovial inflammation. Patients with RA commonly experience significant damage to their hand and foot joints, which can lead to joint deformities and even disability. Traditional treatments have several clinical drawbacks, including unclear pharmacological mechanisms and serious side effects. However, the emergence of antibody drugs offers a promising approach to overcome these limitations by specifically targeting interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and other cytokines that are closely related to the onset of RA. This approach reduces the incidence of adverse effects and contributes to significant therapeutic outcomes. Furthermore, combining these antibody drugs with drug delivery nanosystems (DDSs) can improve their tissue accumulation and bioavailability.Herein, we provide a summary of the pathogenesis of RA, the available antibody drugs and DDSs that improve the efficacy of these drugs. However, several challenges need to be addressed in their clinical applications, including patient compliance, stability, immunogenicity, immunosupression, target and synergistic effects. We propose strategies to overcome these limitations. In summary, we are optimistic about the prospects of treating RA with antibody drugs, given their specific targeting mechanisms and the potential benefits of combining them with DDSs.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a distinctive funtionalmaterials which is constructed by various metal ions and organic molecules, have gradually attracted researchers' attention from they were founded. In the last decade, MOFs emerge as a biomedical material with potential applications due to their unique properties. However, the MOFs performed as nanocarriers for functional nucleic acid delivery in biomedical applications rarely summarized. In this review, we introduce recent developments of MOFs for nucleic acid delivery in various biologically relevant applications, with special emphasis on cancer therapy (including siRNA, ASO, DNAzyme, miRNA and CpG oligodeoxynucleotides), bioimaging, biosensors and separation of biomolecules. We expect the accomplishment of this review could benefit certain researchers in biomedical field to develop novel sophisticated nanocarriers for functional nucleic acid delivery based on the promising material of MOFs.

Abstract
As a naturally occurring cytolytic peptide, melittin (Mel) has strong cytolytic activity and is a potent therapeutic peptide for cancer therapy. However, the serious hemolytic activity of Mel largely impedes its clinical applications. In this work, based on the strong interactions between proteins/peptides and polyphenols, we develop a tannic acid-Fe3+ metal-phenolic network (MPN)-based strategy that can convert Mel from foe to friend via shielding its positive charges and reducing its hemolytic activity. Besides, an immune adjuvant resiquimod (R848) is also introduced for immunostimulation, affording the final Mel- and R848-coloaded nanodrug. The Mel-caused membrane disruption can induce immunogenic cell death for immunostimulation, R848 can act as an immune adjuvant to further facilitate the immunostimulatory effect, and the tannic acid-Fe3+ MPN-mediated Fenton reaction can produce reactive oxygen species for cancer treatment. Further experiments reveal that the nanodrug can effectively cause immunogenic cell death of tumor cells and arouse robust intratumoral and systemic antitumor immunostimulation. In the bilateral tumor-bearing mouse models, the nanodrug considerably destroys the primary tumor and also boosts the abscopal effect to ablate the distant tumor. Collectively, the MPN-facilitated "foe-to-friend" strategy may promote the practical applications of Mel and foster the development of cancer immunotherapeutics.

Abstract
Understanding the underlying interaction between nanoparticle and organelles is conclusive to the nanotoxicology. According to existing literatures, lysosome is a crucial target of the nanoparticle carrier. Meanwhile, mitochondria could provide the essential energy for nanopaticles entering/exiting the cell. Based on the investigation of lysosome-mitochondria connection, we decoded the effects of low-dose ZIF-8 on energy metabolism, which are still largely obscure beforehand. In this research, low-dose ZIF-8 NPs were utilized to explore the effects on vascular endothelial cells, the first cells exposed to NPs during intravenous injection. Consequently, ZIF-8 could damage the energy metabolism, mainly manifested as mitochondrial fission, the decreased ATP production, and lysosomal dysfuction, which would subsequently affect the cell survival, proliferation and protein expression. This study highlights the fundamental understanding for exploring the regulation of nanoscale ZIF-8 in biological processes and its further application in biomedical field.

Abstract
The occurrence of osteoarthritis (OA) is highly correlated with the reduction of joint lubrication performance, in which persistent excessive inflammation and irreversible destruction of cartilage dominate the mechanism. The inadequate response to monotherapy methods, suboptimal efficacy caused by undesirable bioavailability, short retention, and lack of stimulus-responsiveness, are few unresolved issues. Herein, we report a pH-responsive metal-organic framework (MOF), namely, MIL-101-NH2, for the co-delivery of anti-inflammatory drug curcumin (CCM) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) for hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-2α). CCM and siRNA were loaded via encapsulation and surface coordination ability of MIL-101-NH2. Our vitro tests showed that MIL-101-NH2 protected siRNA from nuclease degradation by lysosomal escape. The pH-responsive MIL-101-NH2 gradually collapsed in an acidic OA microenvironment to release the CCM payloads to down-regulate the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and to release the siRNA payloads to cleave the target HIF-2α mRNA for gene-silencing therapy, ultimately exhibiting the synergetic therapeutic efficacy by silencing HIF-2α genes accompanied by inhibiting the inflammation response and cartilage degeneration of OA. The hybrid material reported herein exhibited promising potential performance for OA therapy as supported by both in vitro and in vivo studies and may offer an efficacious therapeutic strategy for OA utilizing MOFs as host materials.

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
Conventional drug delivery systems have been applied to a myriad of active ingredients but may be difficult to tailor for a given drug. Herein, we put forth a new strategy, which designs and selects the drug delivery material by considering the properties of encapsulated drugs (even multiple drugs, simultaneously). Specifically, through an in-silico screening process of 5109 MOFs using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations, a customized MOF (referred as BIO-MOF-100) was selected and experimentally verified to be biologically stable, and capable of loading 3 anti-Tuberculosis drugs Rifampicin+Isoniazid+Pyrazinamide at 10% + 28% + 23% wt/wt (total > 50% by weight). Notably, the customized BIO-MOF-100 delivery system cleared naturally Pyrazinamide-resistant Bacillus Calmette-Guérin, reduced growth of virulent Erdman infection in macaque macrophages 10-100-fold compared to soluble drugs in vitro and was also significantly reduced Erdman growth in mice. These data suggest that the methodology of identifying-synthesizing materials can be used to generate solutions for challenging applications such as simultaneous delivery of multiple, small hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules in the same molecular framework.

Sharma AR, Lee YH, Bat-Ulzii A, Bhattacharya M, Chakraborty C, Lee SS. Recent advances of metal-based nanoparticles in nucleic acid delivery for therapeutic applications. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:501. [PMID: 36434667 PMCID: PMC9700905 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01650-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent efforts in designing nanomaterials to deliver potential therapeutics to the targeted site are overwhelming and palpable. Engineering nanomaterials to deliver biological molecules to exert desirable physiological changes, with minimized side effects and optimal dose, has revolutionized the next-generation therapy for several diseases. The rapid progress of nucleic acids as biopharmaceutics is going to alter the traditional pharmaceutics practices in modern medicine. However, enzymatic instability, large size, dense negative charge (hydrophilic for cell uptake), and unintentional adverse biological responses-such as prolongation of the blood coagulation and immune system activation-hamper the potential use of nucleic acids for therapeutic purposes. Moreover, the safe delivery of nucleic acids into the clinical setting is an uphill task, and several efforts are being put forward to deliver them to targeted cells. Advances in Metal-based NanoParticles (MNPs) are drawing attention due to the unique properties offered by them for drug delivery, such as large surface-area-to-volume ratio for surface modification, increased therapeutic index of drugs through site-specific delivery, increased stability, enhanced half-life of the drug in circulation, and efficient biodistribution to the desired targeted site. Here, the potential of nanoparticles delivery systems for the delivery of nucleic acids, specially MNPs, and their ability and advantages over other nano delivery systems are reviewed.
