Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is considered as a promising anticancer approach, owning to its high efficiency and spatiotemporal selectivity. Ample evidence indicated that PDT can trigger immunogenic cell death by releasing antigens that activate immune cells to promote anti-tumor immunity. Nevertheless, the inherent nature of tumors and their complex heterogeneity often limits the efficiency of PDT, which can be overcome with a novel strategy of photo-immunotherapy (PIT) strategy. By exploring the principles of PDT induction and ICD enhancement, combined with other therapies such as chemotherapy or immune checkpoint blockade, the tailored solutions can be designed to address specific challenges of drug resistance, hypoxic conditions, and tumor immunosuppressive microenvironments (TIMEs), which enables targeted enhancement of systemic immunity to address most distant and recurrent cancers. The present article summarizes the specific strategies of PIT and discusses recent existing limitations. More importantly, we anticipate that the perspectives presented herein will help address the clinical translation challenges associated with PIT.

Abstract
Combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) and immune checkpoint blockades is an efficient method to maximize immunotherapeutic outcome by boosting tumor immunogenicity and modulating the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. However, the always-on bioactivity of photosensitizers or immune checkpoint inhibitors leads to uncontrollable side effects, limiting the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of treatments. An activatable strategy is of great importance for improving the selectivity during cancer therapy. In this study, a photodynamic immunomodulator, ICy-NLG, is developed by conjugating the photosensitizer ICy-NH2 with the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 inhibitor NLG919 through a glutathione (GSH)-cleavable linker to achieve activatable photodynamic immunotherapy. The conjugation considerably suppresses both the PDT effect and the activity of the inhibitor. After ICy-NLG is activated by high levels of GSH in tumor cells, the PDT effect is restored and leads to immunogenic tumor cell death. The released tumor-associated antigens in conjunction with the activated immune checkpoint inhibitor induce a synergistic antitumor immune response, resulting in the growth inhibition of primary and distant tumors and the prevention of lung metastasis in mouse xenograft models.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been showing great potential in cancer treatment. However, the efficacy of PDT is always limited by the intrinsic hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) and the low accumulation efficiency of photosensitizers in tumors. To address the issue, a multifunctional hollow multilayer nanoplatform (H-MnO2 @TPyP@Bro) comprising manganese dioxide, porphyrin (TPyP) and bromelain (Bro), is developed for enhanced photodynamic therapy. MnO2 catalyzes the intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) to produce oxygen (O2 ), reversing the hypoxic TME in vivo. The generated O2 is converted into singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) by the TPyP shell under near-infrared light, which can inhibit tumor proliferation. Meanwhile, the Bro can digest collagen in the extracellular matrix around the tumor, and can promote the accumulation of H-MnO2 @TPyP@Bro in the deeper tumor tissue, further improving the therapeutic effect of PDT. In addition, MnO2 can react with the overexpressed glutathione in TME to release Mn2+ . Consequently, Mn2+ not only induces chemo-dynamic therapy based on Fenton reaction by converting H2 O2 into hydroxyl radicals, but also activates the Mn2+ -based magnetic resonance imaging. Therefore, the developed H-MnO2 @TPyP@Bro nanoplatform can effectively modulate the unfavorable TME and overcome the limitations of conventional PDT for cancer diagnostic and therapeutic.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are photo-mediated treatments with different mechanisms of action that can be addressed for cancer treatment. Both phototherapies are highly successful and barely or non-invasive types of treatment that have gained attention in the past few years. The death of cancer cells because of the application of these therapies is caused by the formation of reactive oxygen species, that leads to oxidative stress for the case of photodynamic therapy and the generation of heat for the case of photothermal therapies. The advancement of nanotechnology allowed significant benefit to these therapies using nanoparticles, allowing both tuning of the process and an increase of effectiveness. The encapsulation of drugs, development of the most different organic and inorganic nanoparticles as well as the possibility of surfaces' functionalization are some strategies used to combine phototherapy and nanotechnology, with the aim of an effective treatment with minimal side effects. This article presents an overview on the use of nanostructures in association with phototherapy, in the view of cancer treatment.

Abstract
Emerging natural-enzyme-based nanocatalytic tumor therapy depending on the high catalytic performance of natural enzymes has inspired great research interest in clinical applications. Nevertheless, the natural-enzyme-based catalytic therapy efficiency is seriously hampered by the low operational stability, poor delivery efficiency, and the short lifetime of enzymes. Herein, a bioreactor based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was fabricated through one-pot embedding horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and glucose oxidase (Gox) strategy (ZIF-8@Gox/HRP) for synergistic cancer therapy. Notably, the obtained ZIF-8@Gox/HRP can efficiently consume endogenous glucose to generate gluconic acid and H2O2 for starving tumors, and subsequently, H2O2 was decomposed by encapsulated HRP to release high-toxic •OH radicals, inducing cancer cell apoptosis for oxidation therapy. Importantly, in vivo results showed that ZIF-8@Gox/HRP had an impressive tumor-suppression rate based on cascade catalytic reaction. Therefore, this work paves a new avenue to design smart enzyme-based platforms for safe and efficient cancer therapy.
