Abstract
The development of nanoformulations with simple compositions that can exert targeted combination therapy still remains a great challenge in the area of precision cancer nanomedicine. Herein, we report the design of a multifunctional nanoplatform based on methotrexate (MTX)-loaded layered double hydroxide (LDH) coated with chlorin e6 (Ce6)-modified MCF-7 cell membranes (CMM) for combined chemo/sonodynamic therapy of breast cancer. LDH nanoparticles were in situ loaded with MTX via coprecipitation, and coated with CMM that were finally functionalized with phospholipid-modified Ce6. The created nanoformulation of LDH-MTX@CMM-Ce6 displays good colloidal stability under physiological conditions and can release MTX in a pH-dependent manner. We show that the formulation can homologously target breast cancer cells, and induce their significant apoptosis through arresting the cell cycle via cooperative MTX-based chemotherapy and ultrasound (US)-activated sonodynamic therapy. The assistance of US can not only trigger sonosensitizer Ce6 to produce reactive oxygen species, but also enhance the cellular uptake of LDH-MTX@CMM-Ce6 via an acoustic cavitation effect. Upon intravenous injection and US irradiation, LDH-MTX@CMM-Ce6 displays an admirable antitumor performance towards a xenografted breast tumor mouse model. Furthermore, the modification of Ce6 on the CMM endows the LDH-based nanoplatform with fluorescence imaging capability. The developed LDH-based nanoformulation here provides a general intelligent cancer nanomedicine platform with simple composition and homologous targeting specificity for combined chemo/sonodynamic therapy and fluorescence imaging of tumors.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 271:132626. [PMID: 38795893 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
Immobilization of proteolytic enzymes onto nanocarriers is effective to improve drug diffusion in tumors through degrading the dense extracellular matrix (ECM). Herein, immobilization and release behaviors of hyaluronidase, bromelain, and collagenase (Coll) on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were explored. A series of cationic MSNs (CMSNs) with large and adjustable pore sizes were synthesized, and investigated together with two anionic MSNs of different pore sizes. CMSNs4.0 exhibited the highest enzyme loading capacity for hyaluronidase and bromelain, and CMSNs4.5 was the best for Coll. High electrostatic interaction, matched pore size, and large pore volume and surface area favor the immobilization. Changes of the enzyme conformations and surface charges with pH, existence of a space around the immobilized enzymes, and the depth of the pore structures, affect the release ratio and tunability. The optimal CMSNs-enzyme complexes exhibited deep and homogeneous penetration into pancreatic tumors, a tumor model with the densest ECM, with CMSNs4.5-Coll as the best. Upon loading with doxorubicin (DOX), the CMSNs-enzyme complexes induced high anti-tumor efficiencies. Conceivably, the DOX/CMSNs4.5-NH2-Coll nanodrug exhibited the most effective tumor therapy, with a tumor growth inhibition ratio of 86.1 %. The study provides excellent nanocarrier-enzyme complexes, and offers instructive theories for enhanced tumor penetration and therapy.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cell-based adoptive immunotherapy has demonstrated encouraging therapeutic effects in clinical trials for hematological cancers. However, the effectiveness of treatment for solid tumors remains a challenge due to insufficient recruitment and infiltration of NK cells into tumor tissues. Herein, a programmed nanoremodeler (DAS@P/H/pp) is designed to remodel dense physical stromal barriers and for dysregulation of the chemokine of the tumor environment to enhance the recruitment and infiltration of NK cells in tumors. The DAS@P/H/pp is triggered by the acidic tumor environment, resulting in charge reversal and subsequent hyaluronidase (HAase) release. HAase effectively degrades the extracellular matrix, promoting the delivery of immunoregulatory molecules and chemotherapy drugs into deep tumor tissues. In mouse models of pancreatic cancer, this nanomediated strategy for the programmed remodeling of the tumor microenvironment significantly boosts the recruitment of NK92 cells and their tumor cell-killing capabilities under the supervision of multiplexed near-infrared-II fluorescence.

Abstract
Precision drug delivery and multimodal synergistic therapy are crucial in treating diverse ailments, such as cancer, tissue damage, and degenerative diseases. Electrodes that emit electric pulses have proven effective in enhancing molecule release and permeability in drug delivery systems. Moreover, the physiological electrical microenvironment plays a vital role in regulating biological functions and triggering action potentials in neural and muscular tissues. Due to their unique noncentrosymmetric structures, many 2D materials exhibit outstanding piezoelectric performance, generating positive and negative charges under mechanical forces. This ability facilitates precise drug targeting and ensures high stimulus responsiveness, thereby controlling cellular destinies. Additionally, the abundant active sites within piezoelectric 2D materials facilitate efficient catalysis through piezochemical coupling, offering multimodal synergistic therapeutic strategies. However, the full potential of piezoelectric 2D nanomaterials in drug delivery system design remains underexplored due to research gaps. In this context, the current applications of piezoelectric 2D materials in disease management are summarized in this review, and the development of drug delivery systems influenced by these materials is forecast.

Abstract
Effective tumor treatment depends on optimizing drug penetration and accumulation in tumor tissue while minimizing systemic toxicity. Nanomedicine has emerged as a key solution that addresses the rapid clearance of free drugs, but achieving deep drug penetration into solid tumors remains elusive. This review discusses various strategies to enhance drug penetration, including manipulation of the tumor microenvironment, exploitation of both external and internal stimuli, pioneering nanocarrier surface engineering, and development of innovative tactics for active tumor penetration. One outstanding strategy is organelle-affinitive transfer, which exploits the unique properties of specific tumor cell organelles and heralds a potentially transformative approach to active transcellular transfer for deep tumor penetration. Rigorous models are essential to evaluate the efficacy of these strategies. The patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model is gaining traction as a bridge between laboratory discovery and clinical application. However, the journey from bench to bedside for nanomedicines is fraught with challenges. Future efforts should prioritize deepening our understanding of nanoparticle-tumor interactions, re-evaluating the EPR effect, and exploring novel nanoparticle transport mechanisms.

Abstract
As one of the important types of two-dimensional materials, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely used in the biomedical field as carriers for drug delivery. In this case, we propose a facile synthetic method for preparing LDH-based self-assembly structures via a metal ions-mediated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) transformation process. The as-made hierarchical porous ZIF-8@LDHs core-shell structures and porous cages of LDHs (PC-LDHs) in drug delivery systems are used to study the loading and release of small molecular weight drugs such as doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The intrinsic properties and assembly structures of both carriers are investigated in depth for their impact on slow drug release. Finally, PC-LDHs outperform ZIF-8@LDHs core-shell structures in terms of drug delivery performance under various conditions, indicating that LDH nanosheets would play a decisive role in the drug delivery process. In the drug release system, scattered LDH nanosheets with smaller sizes than their assemblies are gradually produced, allowing nanodrugs to enter cancer tissues more easily across biological barriers. This study provides the preliminary preparation for an LDH-based nanomedicine platform in the field of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanomedicines have shown a promising strategy for cancer therapy because of their higher safety and efficiency relative to small-molecule drugs, while the dense extracellular matrix (ECM) in tumors often acts as a physical barrier to hamper the accumulation and diffusion of nanoparticles, thus compromising the anticancer efficacy. To address this issue, two major strategies including degrading ECM components and inhibiting ECM formation have been adopted to enhance the therapeutic efficacies of nanomedicines. In this review, we summarize the recent progresses of tumor ECM modulating strategies for enhanced antitumor therapy of nanomedicines. Through degrading ECM components or inhibiting ECM formation, the accumulation and diffusion of nanoparticles in tumors can be facilitated, leading to enhanced efficacies of chemotherapy and phototherapy. Moreover, the ECM degradation can improve the infiltration of immune cells into tumor tissues, thus achieving strong immune response to reject tumors. The adoptions of these two ECM modulating strategies to improve the efficacies of chemotherapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy are discussed in detail. A conclusion, current challenges and outlook are then given. Extracellular matrix modulating strategies have been adopted to enhance the therapeutic efficacies of nanomedicines. Degrading extracellular matrix components or inhibiting extracellular matrix formation can improve the accumulation and diffusion of nanoparticles in tumors and the infiltration of immune cells into tumor tissues. The adoptions of two extracellular matrix modulating strategies to improve the efficacies of chemotherapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy are summarized.

Abstract
The second near-infrared (NIR-II)-induced photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years due to its non-invasiveness and because it uses less energy. However, the penetration of photothermal agents into solid tumors is seriously impeded by the dense-tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) containing cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA), thereby compromising the ultimate therapeutic effects. Herein, acid-labile metal-organic frameworks were employed as nanocarriers to efficiently mineralize hyaluronidase (HAase) and encapsulate Ag2S nanodots by a one-pot approach under mild conditions. The obtained nanocomposites (AHZ NPs) maintained enzyme activity and changed in size to prolong blood circulation and complete delivery of the cargo to the tumor. Moreover, the released HAase could specifically break out the HA to loosen ECM and enable the Ag2S nanodots to breeze through the tumor matrix space and gain access to the deep tumor. Under near-infrared laser irradiation, the AHZ NPs displayed remarkable fluorescence, outstanding photoacoustic signals, and excellent photothermal properties in the whole tumor. This work offers a promising two-pronged strategy via a decrease in nanoparticle size and the degradation of dense ECM for NIR-II multimodal imaging-guided PTT of deep tumors.

A biodegradable "Nano-donut" for magnetic resonance imaging and enhanced chemo/photothermal/chemodynamic therapy through responsive catalysis in tumor microenvironment. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 608:344-354. [PMID: 34626980 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.09.186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2021] [Revised: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is a safe photothermal agent for tumor therapy, yet poor photothermal effect and single therapeutic function severely restrict its further clinical applications. Herein, a biodegradable "Nano-donut" (CMPB-MoS2-PEG) is fabricated for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT)/ chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/chemotherapy through responsive catalysis in tumor microenvironment (TME). The "Nano-donut" is organically composed of Cu/Mn ions doped-PB and MoS2. The porous donut structure of CMPB-MoS2-PEG endows them as a carrier for delivery of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) to tumor site. The framework of Nano-donut specifically decomposes in TME due to the reaction between Fe2+/Fe3+ and H2O2. The multivalent elements (Cu/Fe/Mn ions) decrease the bandgap and then enhance CDT by synergistically catalyzing H2O2 into toxic ·OH. Meanwhile, the Mn4+ also reacts with H2O2 to generate O2, improving the hypoxia of TME and enhancing the chemotherapy effect of released DOX. The MoS2 mingles in the PB, which significantly enhances photothermal conversion efficiency (η) effect of PB from 16.02% to 38.0%. In addition, Fe3+ as T2-weighted MR imaging agent can achieve MR imaging-guided therapy. The data clearly shows Nano-donut/DOX nanocomposites (NCs) have a remarkable inhibition for cancer cells and excellent biological safety in tumor treatment.

Abstract
Designing intelligent stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms that are integrated with a biological membrane system and nanomaterials to realize efficient imaging and therapy of tumors still remains to be challenging. Herein, we report a unique strategy to prepare redox-responsive yellow fluorescent carbon dot nanoclusters (y-CDCs) loaded with anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and coated with the cancer cell membrane (CCM) for precision fluorescence imaging and homologous targeting chemotherapy of tumors. The y-CDs with a size of 7.2 nm were first synthesized via a hydrothermal method and crosslinked to obtain redox-responsive y-CDCs with a size of 150.0 nm. The formulated y-CDCs were physically loaded with DOX with an efficiency of up to 81.0% and coated with CCM to endow them with antifouling properties, immune escape ability to escape from macrophage uptake, and homologous targeting capability to cancer cells. Within the reductive tumor microenvironment, the y-CDCs with quenched fluorescence can dissociate to form single y-CDs with recovered fluorescence and improved tumor penetration ability and simultaneously release DOX from the "cluster bomb", thus realizing efficient targeted tumor fluorescence imaging and chemotherapy. The designed y-CDCs/DOX@CCM may represent an updated nanomedicine formulation based on CDs for improved theranostics of different types of tumors.
