ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 282:116702. [PMID: 39018732 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
Polluted environments often contain large amounts of toxic metals, such as cadmium, which pose a major threat to ecosystems and public health. Contamination by cadmium and its compounds is often observed in areas surrounding zinc mining sites and electroplating factories, and the control of cadmium pollution is essential for environmental safety and health. In this study, a highly efficient and straightforward separation strategy for K4Fe(CN)6@Fe3O4 nanocomposites is successfully developed to capture the Cd ions in the water environment. Batch adsorption experiments revealed that K4Fe(CN)6@Fe3O4 exhibited a high cadmium removal rate (greater than 98 %) at a pH level of 6.0 and solid-liquid ratio of 1.0 g/L at room temperature (298 K). Kinetic analysis revealed that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order model and cadmium was rapidly removed in the first 10 min, with chemisorption dominating the capture of Cd2+ by K4Fe(CN)6@Fe3O4. Adsorption isotherms revealed a heterogeneous adsorption behavior, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 40.78 mg/g. The intrinsic adsorption of Cd2+ by K4Fe(CN)6@Fe3O4 occurring primarily through electrostatic interaction and ion exchange. In addition, K4Fe(CN)6@Fe3O4 exhibited an excellent regeneration capacity. Therefore, integrating Fe3O4 into the metal cyanide not only provided the composite material with excellent chemical stability and selective adsorption sites for Cd2+, but also facilitated subsequent sorbent collection and recovery. Overall, this study presents a simple and feasible approach for integrating Fe3O4 into potassium ferrocyanide frameworks for efficient cadmium removal from contaminated water.

Indocyanine green-loaded N-doped carbon quantum dot nanoparticles for effective photodynamic therapy and cell imaging of melanoma cancer: in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo study. J Drug Target 2024; 32:820-837. [PMID: 38779708 DOI: 10.1080/1061186x.2024.2358511] [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: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Indocyanine Green (ICG) as an agent for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of melanoma cancer has low quantum yield, short circulation half-life, poor photo-stability, and tendency to aggregation. PURPOSE N-doped carbon quantum dot (CQD) nanoparticle was applied to encapsulate ICG and overcome ICG obstacle in PDT with simultaneous cell imaging property. METHODS CQD was prepared using hydrothermal method. Cell culture study and In vivo assessments on C57BL/6 mice containing melanoma cancer cells was performed. RESULTS Results showed that CQD size slightly enhanced from 24.55 nm to 42.67 nm after ICG loading. Detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) demonstrated that CQD improved ICG photo-stability and ROS generation capacity upon laser irradiation. Cell culture study illustrated that ICG@CQD could decrease survival rate of melanoma cancer cells of B16F10 cell line from 48% for pure ICG to 28% for ICG@CQD. Confocal microscopy images approved more cellular uptake and more qualified cell imaging ability of ICG@CQD. In vivo assessments displayed obvious inhibitory effect of tumor growth for ICG@CQD in comparison to free ICG on the C57BL/6 mice. In vivo fluorescence images confirmed that ICG@CQD accumulates remarkably more than free ICG in tumor region. Finally, ICG@CQD was proposed as an innovative nanocarrier for PDT and diagnosis.

Abstract
There is an urgent need to develop phototherapeutic agents with imaging capabilities to assess the treatment process and efficacy in real-time during cancer phototherapy for precision cancer therapy. The safe near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dyes have garnered significant attention and are desirable for theranostics agents. However, until now, achieving excellent photostability and fluorescence (FL) imaging capability in aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) dyes remains a big challenge. Here, for the only FDA-approved NIR dye, indocyanine green (ICG), we developed a dual-ferrocene (Fc) chimeric nanonetwork ICG@HFFC based on the rigid-flexible strategy through one-step self-assembly, which uses rigid Fc-modified hyaluronic acid (HA) copolymer (HA-Fc) and flexible octadecylamine (ODA) bonded Fc (Fc-C18) as the delivery system. HA-Fc reserved the ability of HA to target the CD44 receptor of the tumor cell surface, and the dual-Fc region provided a rigid space for securely binding ICG through metal-ligand interaction and π-π conjugation, ensuring excellent photostability. Additionally, the alkyl chain provided flexible confinement for the remaining ICG through hydrophobic forces, preserving its FL. Thereby, a balance is achieved between outstanding photostability and FL imaging capability. In vitro studies showed improved photobleaching resistance, enhanced FL stability, and increased singlet oxygen (1O2) production efficiency in ICG@HFFC. Further in vivo results display that ICG@HFFC had good tumor tracing ability and significant tumor inhibition which also exhibited good biocompatibility.. Therefore, ICG@HFFC provides an encouraging strategy to realize simultaneous enhanced tumor tracing and photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) and offers a novel approach to address the limitations of ACQ dyes.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising cancer therapeutic approach due to its spatial selectivity and high potency. Indocyanine green (ICG) has been considered a biocompatible PTT agent. However, ICG has several challenges to hinder its clinical use including rapid blood clearance and instability to heat, light, and solvent, leading to a loss of photoactivation property and PTT efficacy. Herein, we leveraged stabilizing components, methyl-β-cyclodextrin and liposomes, in one nanoplatform (ICD lipo) to enhance ICG stability and the photothermal therapeutic effect against cancer. Compared to ICG, ICD lipo displayed a 4.8-fold reduction in degradation in PBS solvent after 30 days and a 3.4-fold reduction in photobleaching after near-infrared laser irradiation. Moreover, in tumor-bearing mice, ICD lipo presented a 2.7-fold increase in tumor targetability and inhibited tumor growth 9.6 times more effectively than did ICG without any serious toxicity. We believe that ICD lipo could be a potential PTT agent for cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been growing interest in size-transformable nanoplatforms that exhibit active responses to acidic microenvironments, presenting promising prospects in the field of nanomedicine for tumor therapy. However, the design and fabrication of such size-adjustable nanotherapeutics pose significant challenges compared to size-fixed nanocomposites, primarily due to their distinct pH-responsive requirements. In this study, we developed pH-activated-aggregating nanosystems to integrate chemotherapy and photothermal therapy by creating size-transformable nanoparticles based on Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) anchored with acid-responsive polyoxometalates (POMs) quantum dots via electrostatic interactions (PPP NPs). Subsequently, we utilized doxorubicin (DOX) as a representative drug to formulate PPPD NPs. Notably, PPPD NPs exhibited a significant response to acidic conditions, resulting in changes in surface charge and rapid aggregation of PPP NPs. Furthermore, the aggregated PPP NPs demonstrated excellent photothermal properties under near-infrared laser irradiation. Importantly, PPPD NPs prolonged their retention time in tumor cells via a size-transformation approach. In vitro cellular assays revealed that the anticancer efficacy of PPPD NPs was significantly enhanced. The IC50 values for the PPPD NPs groupand the PPPD NPs + NIR group were 50.11 μg/mL and 30.9 μg/mL. Overall, this study introduces a novel strategy for cancer therapy by developing size-aggregating nano-drugs with stimuli-responsive properties, holding promise for improved therapeutic outcomes in future combination approaches involving photothermal therapy and chemotherapy.

In this review, we strive to bring the understanding of repurposing performance assessment for ICG into practice by clarifying the relationships between its features and applicability. Specifically, we address the obstacles encountered in the process of developing an ICG repurposing strategy, as well as the noteworthy advancements made in the field of ICG repurposing. We also go into detail about the structure-function correlations of drugs containing ICG and how different structural groups significantly affect the physicochemical properties.

Abstract
Purpose Phototherapy, known for its high selectivity, few side effects, strong controllability, and synergistic enhancement of combined treatments, is widely used in treating diseases like cervical cancer. Methods In this study, hollow mesoporous manganese dioxide was used as a carrier to construct positively charged, poly(allylamine hydrochloride)-modified nanoparticles (NPs). The NP was efficiently loaded with the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) via the addition of hydrogen phosphate ions to produce a counterion aggregation effect. HeLa cell membrane encapsulation was performed to achieve the final M-HMnO2@ICG NP. In this structure, the HMnO2 carrier responsively degrades to release ICG in the tumor microenvironment, self-generates O2 for sensitization to ICG-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT), and consumes GSH to expand the oxidative stress therapeutic effect [chemodynamic therapy (CDT) + PDT]. The ICG accumulated in tumor tissues exerts a synergistic PDT/photothermal therapy (PTT) effect through single laser irradiation, improving efficiency and reducing side effects. The cell membrane encapsulation increases nanomedicine accumulation in tumor tissues and confers an immune evasion ability. In addition, high local temperatures induced by PTT can enhance CDT. These properties of the NP enable full achievement of PTT/PDT/CDT and targeted effects. Results Mn2+ can serve as a magnetic resonance imaging agent to guide therapy, and ICG can be used for photothermal and fluorescence imaging. After its intravenous injection, M-HMnO2@ICG accumulated effectively at mouse tumor sites; the optimal timing of in-vivo laser treatment could be verified by near-infrared fluorescence, magnetic resonance, and photothermal imaging. The M-HMnO2@ICG NPs had the best antitumor effects among treatment groups under near-infrared light conditions, and showed good biocompatibility. Conclusion In this study, we designed a nano-biomimetic delivery system that improves hypoxia, responds to the tumor microenvironment, and efficiently loads ICG. It provides a new economical and convenient strategy for synergistic phototherapy and CDT for cervical cancer.

Abstract
Nanoscale drug delivery systems derived from natural bioactive materials accelerate the innovation and evolution of cancer treatment modalities. Morusin (Mor) is a prenylated flavonoid compound with high cancer chemoprevention activity, however, the poor water solubility, low active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) loading content, and instability compromise its bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. Herein, a full-API carrier-free nanoparticle is developed based on the self-assembly of indocyanine green (ICG), copper ions (Cu2+) and Mor, termed as IMCNs, via coordination-driven and π-π stacking for synergistic tumor therapy. The IMCNs exhibits a desirable loading content of Mor (58.7 %) and pH/glutathione (GSH)-responsive motif. Moreover, the photothermal stability and photo-heat conversion efficiency (42.8 %) of IMCNs are improved after coordination with Cu2+ and help to achieve photothermal therapy. Afterward, the released Cu2+ depletes intracellular overexpressed GSH and mediates Fenton-like reactions, and further synergizes with ICG at high temperatures to expand oxidative damage. Furthermore, the released Mor elicits cytoplasmic vacuolation, expedites mitochondrial dysfunction, and exerts chemo-photothermal therapy after being combined with ICG to suppress the migration of residual live tumor cells. In vivo experiments demonstrate that IMCNs under laser irradiation could excellently inhibit tumor growth (89.6 %) through the multi-modal therapeutic performance of self-enhanced chemotherapy/coordinated-drugs/ photothermal therapy (PTT), presenting a great potential for cancer therapy.

Fu Z, Huang J, Wei W, Wu Z, Shi X. A multimode biosensor based on prussian blue nanoparticles loaded with gold nanoclusters for the detection of aflatoxin B1. ANALYTICAL METHODS : ADVANCING METHODS AND APPLICATIONS 2024.

Abstract
Herein, a novel fluorescent/colorimetric/photothermal biosensor is proposed for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection in food based on Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) (∼50 nm), gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), and an aptamer (Apt) within three hours. Briefly, a multifunctional compound, namely PBNPs-PEI@AuNCs, was synthesized from PBNPs as the loading carrier, polyethyleneimine (PEI) as the cross-linking agent, and AuNCs directly combined on the surface of PBNPs. The AFB1 Apt was then modified on the PBNPs-PEI@AuNCs to form a PBNPs-PEI@AuNCs-Apt probe, whereby when AFB1 is present, AFB1 is specifically captured by the probe. Meanwhile, the MNPs@antibody was also introduced to capture AFB1, thereby forming a "sandwich" structure compound. After magnetic separation, high temperature was applied to this "sandwich" structure compound to induce the denaturation of the Apt. Then the fluorescent/colorimetric/photothermal signals were collected from the PBNPs-PEI@AuNCs@Apt to give information on its related condition. The detection limits of the biosensor were 0.64 × 10-14, 0.96 × 10-14, and 0.55 × 10-12 g mL-1 for the three signals, which were outputted independently and could be verified with each other to ensure the accuracy of the results. Moreover, the colorimetric and photothermal strategies with this probe do not require large-scale instruments, providing a promising choice for achieving the rapid field detection of AFB1.

Abstract
For the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, a great challenge is the fabrication of straightforward, non-toxic, multifunctional green nanomaterials. In this study, carbon quantum dots self-assembled with indocyanine green dye at bovine serum albumin for phototherapy and in situ bioimaging are produced by a flexible hydrothermal method. We find that the synthesized nanoparticles have high tumor photothermal therapeutic activity when exposed to 808 nm light, with a photothermal conversion efficiency up to 61 %. The phototoxicity study revealed the excellent phototherapy of the nanoparticles mainly arises from photothermal therapeutic effect other than photodynamic therapy effect. Simultaneously, it allows biological imaging in the visible and near-infrared ranges because of the significant absorption at 365 nm and 840 nm. The current work offers a simple, environmentally friendly, and reasonable method for developing photothermal drugs with a high photothermal conversion efficiency in the near-infrared region, as well as good biosafety for multifunctional nanomaterials for bioimaging tumor diagnosis and direct phototherapy.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and invasive types of brain cancer with a 5-year survival rate of 6.8%. With limited options, patients often have poor quality of life and are moved to palliative care after diagnosis. As a result, there is an extreme need for a novel theranostic method that allows for early diagnosis and noninvasive treatment as current peptide-based delivery standards may have off-target effects. Prussian Blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) have recently been investigated as photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal ablation agents. However, due to their inability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), their use in glioblastoma treatment is limited. By utilizing a hybrid, biomimetic nanoparticle composed of a PBNP interior and a U-87 cancer cell-derived exosome coating (Exo:PB), we show tumor-specific targeting within the brain and selective thermal therapy potential due to the strong photoconversion abilities. Particle characterization was carried out and showed a complete coating around the PBNPs that contains exosome markers. In vitro cellular uptake patterns are similar to native U-87 exosomes and when exposed to an 808 nm laser, show localized cell death within the specified region. After intravenous injection of Exo:PB into subcutaneously implanted glioblastoma mice, they have shown effective targeting and eradication of tumor volume compared to PEG-coated PBNPs (PEG:PB). Through systemic administration of Exo:PB particles into orthotopic glioblastoma-bearing mice, the PBNP signal was detected in the brain tumor region through PAI. It was seen that Exo:PB had preferential tumor accumulation with less off-targeting compared to the RGD:PB control. Ex vivo analysis validated specific targeting with a direct overlay of Exo:PB with the tumor by both H&E staining and Ki67 labeling. Overall, we have developed a novel biomimetic material that can naturally cross the BBB and act as a theranostic agent for systemic targeting of glioblastoma tissue and photothermal therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic form of cell death that is dependent on the accumulation of intracellular iron that causes elevation of toxic lipid peroxides. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the levels of intracellular iron and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a short time. Here, we first propose ultrasound (US)-propelled Janus nanomotors (Au-FeOx/PEI/ICG, AFPI NMs) to accelerate cellular internalization and induce cancer cell ferroptosis. This nanomotor consists of a gold-iron oxide rod-like Janus nanomotor (Au-FeOx, AF NMs) and a photoactive indocyanine green (ICG) dye on the surface. It not only exhibits accelerating cellular internalization (∼4-fold) caused by its attractive US-driven propulsion but also shows good intracellular motion behavior. In addition, this Janus nanomotor shows excellent intracellular ROS generation performance due to the synergistic effect of the "Fenton or Fenton-like reaction" and the "photochemical reaction". As a result, the killing efficiency of actively moving nanomotors on cancer cells is 88% higher than that of stationary nanomotors. Unlike previous passive strategies, this work is a significant step toward accelerating cellular internalization and inducing cancer-cell ferroptosis in an active way. These novel US-propelled Janus nanomotors with strong propulsion, efficient cellular internalization and excellent ROS generation are suitable as a novel cell biology research tool.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB)-based nanomedicines constructed from metal ion coordination remain restricted due to their limited therapeutic properties, and their manifold evaluation complexity still needs to be unraveled. Owing to the high similarities of its ionic form to iron (Fe) and the resulting cellular homeostasis disruption performance, physiologically unstable and low-toxicity gallium (Ga) has garnered considerable attention clinically as an anti-carcinogen. Herein, Ga-based nanoparticles (NPs) with diverse Ga contents are fabricated in one step using PB with abundant Fe sites as a substrate for Ga substitution, which aims to overcome the deficiencies of both and develop an effective nanomedicine. A systematic comparison of their physicochemical properties effectively reveals the saturated Ga introduction state during the synthesis process, further identifying the most Ga-enriched PB NPs with a substitution content of >50% as a nanomedicine for subsequent exploration. It is verified that the Ga interference mechanisms mediated by the most Ga-enriched PB NPs are implicated in metabolic disorders, ionic homeostasis disruption, cellular structure dysfunction, apoptosis, autophagy, and target activation of the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. This study provides significant guidance on exploiting clinically approved agents for Ga interference and lays the foundation for the next generation of PB-based theranostic agents.

Abstract
The development of smart theranostic nanoplatforms has gained great interest in effective cancer treatment against the complex tumor microenvironment (TME), including weak acidity, hypoxia, and glutathione (GSH) overexpression. Herein, a TME-responsive nanoplatform named PMICApt /ICG, based on PB:Mn&Ir@CaCO3 Aptamer /ICG, is designed for the competent synergistic photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) under the guidance of photothermal and magnetic resonance imaging. The nanoplatform's aptamer modification targeting the transferrin receptor and the epithelial cell adhesion molecule on breast cancer cells, and the acid degradable CaCO3 shell allow for effective tumor accumulation and TME-responsive payload release in situ. The nanoplatform also exhibits excellent PDT properties due to its ability to generate O2 and consume antioxidant GSH in tumors. Additionally, the synergistic therapy is achieved by a single wavelength of near-infrared laser. RNA sequencing is performed to identify differentially expressed genes, which show that the expressions of proliferation and migration-associated genes are inhibited, while the apoptosis and immune response gene expressions are upregulated after the synergistic treatments. This multifunctional nanoplatform that responds to the TME to realize the on-demand payload release and enhance PDT induced by TME modulation holds great promise for clinical applications in tumor therapy.

Abstract
To advance cancer treatment, we have developed a novel composite material consisting of conjugated polymer dots (CPDs) and Prussian blue (PB) particles, which were immobilized on, and encapsulated within, silica particles, respectively. The CPDs functioned as both a photosensitizer and a photodynamic agent, and the PB acted as a photothermal agent. The silica platform provided a biocompatible matrix that brought the two components into close proximity. Under laser irradiation, the fluorescence from the CPDs in the composite material enabled cell imaging and was subsequently converted to thermal energy by PB. This efficient energy transfer was accomplished because of the spectral overlap between the emission of donor CPDs and the absorbance of acceptor PB. The increase in local temperature in the cells resulted in a significant increase in the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by CPDs, in which their independent use did not produce sufficient ROS for cancer cell treatment. To assess the impact of the enhanced ROS generation by the composite material, we conducted experiments using cancer cells under 532 nm laser irradiation. The results showed that with the increase in local temperature, the generated ROS increased by 30% compared with the control, which did not contain PB. When the silica-based composite material was positioned at the periphery of the tumor for 120 h, it led to a much slower tumor growth than other materials tested. By using a CPD-based photodynamic therapy platform, a new simplified approach to designing and preparing cancer treatments could be achieved, which included photothermal PB-assisted enhanced ROS generation using a single laser. This advancement opens up an exciting new opportunity for effective cancer treatment.

Abstract
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common complication after cataract surgery. Drug-eluting intraocular lens (IOLs) is a promising concept of PCO treatment in modern cataract surgery. However, the large dose of drugs in IOL leads to uncontrollable and unpredictable drug release, which inevitably brings risks of overtreatment and ocular toxicity. Herein, a low-power NIR-triggered thermosensitive IOL named IDG@P(NIPAM-co-AA)-IOL is proposed to improve security and prevent PCO by synergetic controlled drug therapy and simultaneous photo-therapy. Thermosensitive polymer brushes Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-Acrylic acid) (P(NIPAM-co-AA)) is prepared on IOL via surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (SI-RAFT) polymerization. Then, Doxorubicin (DOX) and Indocyanine green (ICG) co-loaded Gelatin NPs (IDG NPs) are loaded in P(NIPAM-co-AA) by temperature control. The IDG NPs perform in suit photodynamic & photothermal therapy (PTT&PDT), and the produced heat also provides a trigger for controllable drug therapy with a cascade effect. Such functional IOL shows excellent synergistic drug-phototherapy effect and NIR-triggered drug release behavior. And there is no obvious PCO occurrence in IDG@P(NIPAM-co-AA) IOL under NIR irradiation compared with control group. This proposed IDG@P(NIPAM-co-AA)-IOL serves as a promising platform that combines phototherapy and drug-therapy to enhance the therapeutic potential and medication safety for future clinical application of PCO treatment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment method for treating tumors. Under laser irradiation, photosensitizers in tumor tissues generate biotoxic reactive oxygen, which can kill tumor cells. The traditional live/dead staining method of evaluating the cell mortality caused by PDT mainly depends on manual counting, which is time-consuming and relies on dye quality. In this paper, we have constructed a dataset of cells after PDT treatment and trained the cell detection model YOLOv3 to count both the dead and live cells. YOLO is a real time AI object detection algorithm. The achieved results demonstrate that the proposed method has a good performance in cell detection, with a mean average precision (mAP) of 94% for live cells and 71.3% for dead cells. This approach can efficiently evaluate the effectiveness of PDT treatment, thus speeding up treatment development effectively.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles have been widely used in photothermal therapy research due to the efficient photothermal conversion ability. In this study, PB was modified with a bionic coating using a hybrid membrane of red blood cell membranes and tumor cell membranes to prepare bionic photothermal nanoparticles (PB/RHM), which can further improve the blood circulation ability and tumor targeting of the nanoparticles to achieve efficient photothermal therapy for tumor treatment. In vitro formulation characterization showed that PB/RHM was a monodisperse spherical core-shell structured nanoparticle with a diameter of 207.2 nm and effectively retained the cell membrane proteins. The in vivo biological evaluation results showed that PB/RHM could effectively accumulate into the tumor tissue, inducing a rapid temperature increase in the tumor site to 50.9 °C within 10 min, inhibiting tumor growth efficiently with a tumor inhibition rate of 93.56% and with good therapeutic safety. In summary, this paper provided a hybrid film-modified Prussian blue nanoparticle with efficient photothermal anti-tumor capacity and safety.

Abstract
Phototheranostics integrating optical imaging and phototherapy has attracted extensive attention. Achieving nanophototherapeutics with near infrared (NIR)-light synchronously triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is challenging. Herein, we develop a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform prepared from the co-assembly of NIR boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) with a cooperative D-π-A structure of a thiophene-BODIPY core and benzene-diethylamino, and a choline phosphate lipid. The as-fabricated nanoparticles (DBNPs) exhibited desirable NIR absorption, uniform spherical morphology and good colloidal stability. The elaborate molecular design and supramolecular assembly endowed DBNPs with desirable PDT and PTT activities. Upon 808 nm laser irradiation, the DBNPs efficiently generated active singlet oxygen and regional hyperpyrexia, with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 37.6%. The excellent PDT and PTT performance of DBNPs boosted the potent in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor effects. In addition, these nanoparticles manifested their good capability of NIR fluorescence imaging of tumors. Overall, the DBNPs provide a paradigm for delivering hydrophobic phototherapy molecules with phospholipids for enhanced tumor treatment and imaging.

Abstract
Enzyme-instructed self-assembly of bioactive molecules into nanobundles inside cells is conceived to potentially disrupt plasma membrane and subcellular structure. Herein, an alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-activatable hybrid of ICG-CF4 KYp is facilely synthesized by conjugating photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) with CF4 KYp peptide via classical Michael addition reaction. ALP-induced dephosphorylation of ICG-CF4 KYp enables its transformation from small-molecule precursor into rigid nanofibrils, and such fibrillation in situ causes severe mechanical disruption of cytomembrane. Besides, ICG-mediated photosensitization causes additional oxidative damage of plasma membrane by lipid peroxidation. Hollow MnO2 nanospheres devote to deliver ICG-CF4 KYp into tumorous tissue through tumor-specific acidity/glutathione-triggered degradation of MnO2 , which is monitored by fluorescent probing and magnetic resonance imaging. The burst release of damage-associated molecular patterns and other tumor antigens during therapy effectively triggers immunogenetic cell death and improves immune stimulatory, as demonstrated by the promotion of dendritic cell maturation and CD8+ lymphocyte infiltration, as well as constraint of regulatory T cell population. Taken together, such cytomembrane injury strategy based on peptide fibrillation in situ holds high clinical promise for lesion-specific elimination of primary, abscopal, and metastatic tumors, which may enlighten more bioinspired nanoplatforms for anticancer theranostics.

Abstract
Glioma, in which a malignant tumor cell occurs in neural mesenchymal cells, has a rapid progression and poor prognosis, which is still far from desirable in clinical treatments. We developed a lab-on-a-chip (LOC) device for the rapid and efficient preparation of vitexin/indocyanine green (ICG) liposomes. Vitexin could be released from liposome to kill cancer cell, which can potentially improve the glioma therapeutic effect and reduce the treatment time through synergistic photodynamic/photothermal therapies (PDT/PTT). The vitexin/ICG liposome was fabricated via LOC and its physicochemical property and release in vitro were evaluated. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method and live/dead staining were used to examine the enhanced antitumor effect of vitexin/ICG liposome in cooperation with PDT/PTT, while the related mechanism was explored by flow cytometry and western blot. The results were as follows: (1) The prepared vitexin/ICG liposome was smaller in size, homogenous in particle size distribution with significant low polydispersity index (PDI), and enhanced cumulative release in vitro. (2) We found that the formulated liposome presented strong cancer cell inhibition and suppression of its migration in a dose-dependent manner. (3) Further mechanistic studies showed that liposome combined with near-infrared irradiation could significantly upregulate levels of B cell lymphoma 2-associated X (Bax) protein and decrease B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) at protein levels. The vitexin/ICG liposomes prepared based on a simple LOC platform can effectively enhance the solubility of insoluble drugs, and the combined effect of PTT/PDT can effectively increase their antitumor effect, which provides a simple and valid method for the clinical translation of liposomes.

Abstract
Biomimetic nanocomposites are widely used in the biomedical field because they can effectively solve the problems existing in the current cancer treatment by realizing multi-mode collaborative treatment. In this study, we designed and synthesized a multifunctional therapeutic platform (PB/PM/HRP/Apt) with unique working mechanism and good tumor treatment effect. Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBs) with good photothermal conversion efficiency were used as nuclei and coated with platelet membrane (PM). The ability of platelets (PLTs) to specifically target cancer cells and inflammatory sites can effectively enhance PB accumulation at tumor sites. The surface of the synthesized nanocomposites was modified with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to enhance the deep penetration of the nanocomposites in cancer cells. In addition, PD-L1 aptamer and 4T1 cell aptamer AS1411 were modified on the nanocomposite to achieve immunotherapy and enhance targeting. The particle size, UV absorption spectrum and Zeta potential of the biomimetic nanocomposite were determined by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer and nano-particle size meter, and the successful preparation was proved. In addition, the biomimetic nanocomposites were proved to have good photothermal properties by infrared thermography. The cytotoxicity test showed that it had a good killing ability of cancer cells. Finally, thermal imaging, tumor volume detection, immune factor detection and Haematoxilin-Eosin (HE) staining of mice showed that the biomimetic nanocomposites had good anti-tumor effect and could trigger immune response in vivo. Therefore, this biomimetic nanoplatform as a promising therapeutic strategy provides new inspiration for the current diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Cancer thermal therapy, also known as hyperthermia therapy, has long been exploited to eradicate mass lesions that are now defined as cancer. With the development of corresponding technologies and equipment, local hyperthermia therapies such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and high-intensity focused ultrasound, have has been validated to effectively ablate tumors in modern clinical practice. However, they still face many shortcomings, including nonspecific damages to adjacent normal tissues and incomplete ablation particularly for large tumors, restricting their wide clinical usage. Attributed to their versatile physiochemical properties, biomaterials have been specially designed to potentiate local hyperthermia treatments according to their unique working principles. Meanwhile, biomaterial-based delivery systems are able to bridge hyperthermia therapies with other types of treatment strategies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Therefore, in this review, we discuss recent progress in the development of functional biomaterials to reinforce local hyperthermia by functioning as thermal sensitizers to endow more efficient tumor-localized thermal ablation and/or as delivery vehicles to synergize with other therapeutic modalities for combined cancer treatments. Thereafter, we provide a critical perspective on the further development of biomaterial-assisted local hyperthermia toward clinical applications.

Abstract
Albumin-manganese-based nanocomposites (AMNs) characterized by simple preparation and good biocompatibility have been widely used for in vivo T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cancer theranostics. Herein, an aggregation and crosslinking assembly strategy was proposed to achieve the sensitization to T1 relaxivity of the albumin-manganese nanocomposite. At a relatively low Mn content (0.35%), the aggregation and crosslinking of bovine serum albumin-MnO2 (BM) resulted in a dramatic increase of T1 relaxivity from 5.49 to 67.2 mM-1 s-1. Upon the loading of indocyanine green (ICG) into the crosslinked BM nanoaggregates (C-BM), the T1 relaxivity of the C-BM/ICG nanocomposite (C-BM/I) was further increased to 97.3 mM-1 s-1, which was much higher than those reported previously even at high Mn contents. Moreover, the presence of C-BM greatly enhanced the photoacoustic (PA) and photothermal effects of ICG at 830 and 808 nm, respectively, and the second near infrared fluorescence (NIR-II FL) of ICG also showed better stability. Therefore, the synthesized C-BM/ICG nanocomposite exhibited remarkable performance in in vivo multimodal imaging of tumors, such as T1-weighted MRI, NIR-II FL imaging and PA imaging, and cancer phototherapy with little side effects. This work provided a highly efficient and promising multifunctional nanoprobe for breaking through the limits of cancer theranostics, and opened a new avenue for the development of high-relaxivity AMNs and multimodal imaging methodology.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231810743. [PMID: 36142657 PMCID: PMC9501236 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231810743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Revised: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Metal-based enzyme mimics are considered to be acceptable agents in terms of their biomedical and biological properties; among them, iron oxides (Fe3O4) are treated as basement in fabricating heterogeneous composites through variable valency integrations. In this work, we have established a facile approach for constructing Fe3O4@Ag composite through assembling Fe3O4 and Ag together via polyethyleneimine ethylenediamine (PEI) linkages. The obtained Fe3O4@PEI@Ag structure conveys several hundred nanometers (~150 nm). The absorption peak at 652 nm is utilized for confirming the peroxidase-like activity of Fe3O4@PEI@Ag structure by catalyzing 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2. The Michaelis–Menten parameters (Km) of 1.192 mM and 0.302 mM show the higher catalytic activity and strong affinity toward H2O2 and TMB, respectively. The maximum velocity (Vmax) value of 1.299 × 10−7 M∙s−1 and 1.163 × 10−7 M∙s−1 confirm the efficiency of Fe3O4@PEI@Ag structure. The biocompatibility illustrates almost 100% cell viability. Being treated as one simple colorimetric sensor, it shows relative selectivity and sensitivity toward the detection of glucose based on glucose oxidase. By using indocyanine green (ICG) molecule as an additional factor, a remarkable temperature elevation is observed in Fe3O4@PEI@Ag@ICG with increments of 21.6 °C, and the absorption peak is nearby 870 nm. This implies that the multifunctional Fe3O4@PEI@Ag structure could be an alternative substrate for formatting acceptable agents in biomedicine and biotechnology with enzymatic and photothermal properties.

In vivo efficacy of verteporfin loaded gold nanorods for combined photothermal/photodynamic colon cancer therapy. Int J Pharm 2022; 625:122134. [PMID: 36007850 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.122134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Revised: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
The high incidence of cancer recurrences and the frequent occurrence of multidrug resistance often stem from a poorly selective and inefficient antineoplastic therapy, responsible for the onset of undesired side effects as well. A combination of minimal-invasive approaches could thus be a useful strategy to surmount these shortcomings, achieving a safe and solid cancer therapy. Herein, a multi-therapeutic nanotool was designed by merging the photothermal properties of gold nanorods (AuNRs) with the photodynamic activity of the photosensitizer verteporfin. AuNRs were coated with the natural materials lipoic acid and gellan gum (AuNRs_LA,GG) and subsequently loaded with verteporfin (AuNRs_LA,GG/Vert) producing stable colloidal dispersions. AuNRs_LA,GG/Vert were characterized in terms of stability, size and morphology. The hyperthermia exhibited after NIR excitation (810 nm) was also evaluated to highlight the effect on increasing the drug released profile in intra-tumoral mimicking media, as well as cytotoxicity on human colon cancer cell line (HCT116). In vivo studies on HCT116 murine xenograft models were carried out to prove the ability of AuNRs_LA,GG to arrest the tumor growth via NIR laser-triggered hyperthermia. Furthermore, the complete xenograft depletion was demonstrated upon AuNRs_LA,GG/Vert administration by combined photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) effects.

Abstract
Background Effective theranostic of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in an early-stage is imminently demanded to improve its poor prognosis. Combination of the near-infrared (NIR) photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and fluorescence imaging (FLI) can provide high temporospatial resolution, outstanding optical contrast, and deep penetration and thus is promising for accurate and sensitive HCC diagnosis. Methods A versatile CXCR4-targeted Indocyanine green (ICG)/Platinum (Pt)-doped polydopamine melanin-mimic nanoparticle (designated ICG/Pt@PDA-CXCR4, referred to as IPP-c) is synthesized as an HCC-specific contrast agent for high-resolution precise diagnostic PAI/FLI and optical imaging-guided targeted photothermal therapy (PTT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT) of orthotopic small hepatocellular carcinoma (SHCC). Results The multifunctional targeted nanoparticle yields superior HCC specificity, high imaging contrast in both PAI and FLI, good stability, reliable biocompatibility, effective singlet oxygen generation and superior photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE, 58.7%) upon 808-nm laser irradiation. The targeting ability of IPP-c was validated in in vitro experiments on selectively killing the CXCR4-overexpressing HCC cells. Moreover, we test the efficient dual-modal optical precision diagnosis properties of IPP-c via in vivo experiments on targeted particle accumulation in an early-stage SHCC mouse model (tumor diameter about 1.2 mm). Then, under the guidance of real-time optical imaging, effective and mini-invasive PTT/PDT of orthotopic SHCCs were demonstrated without damaging adjacent liver tissues or other major organs. Conclusion This study presented a multifunctional CXCR4-targeted nanoparticle to conduct effective and mini-invasive phototherapeutics of orthotopic SHCCs via the real-time quantitative guidance by optical imaging, which provided a new perception for building a versatile targeted nanoplatform for phototheranostics of early-stage HCC.

Multifunctional nanocarrier with self-catalytic production of nitric oxide for photothermal and gas-combined therapy of tumor. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 621:77-90.

Abstract
Single treatment often faces the problem that it cannot completely eradicate tumor and inhibit the tumor metastasis. In order to overcome this shortcoming, multi-modal tumor treatment has attracted widespread attention. In the present article, based on ascorbyl palmitate (PA) and l-arginine (l-Arg), a multifunctional nanocarrier is designed for synergetic treatment of tumor with photothermal and nitric oxide (NO) gas therapy. Firstly, PA and l-Arg were self-assembled to form novel functional micelles, PL, with high biosafety using electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding. The functional micelles could self-catalyze to produce NO at the tumor site. Then, Ag2S quantum dots having fluorescence imaging and photothermal properties were encapsulated to obtain the nanocarrier, A@PL. The results show that A@PL had a hydrated size of around 78 nm and presented good stability within 30 d. Moreover, in vitro studies indicate that it was efficient with regards to NO self-generating capacity, whereas the photothermal conversion efficiency was as high as 34% under near-infrared light irradiation. The cytotoxicity results show that, when the concentration of A@PL was as high as 2 mM, the survival rate of 3 T3 cells was still 78.23%, proving that the probe has good safety characteristics. Fluorescence imaging results show that its maximum enrichment can be achieved at the tumor site after tail vein injection for 3 h, and out of the body after 24 h, indicating good internal circulation. The in vivo studies show that the rate of inhibition of tumor using the nanocarrier was as high as 98%, and almost overcame the problem of tumor recurrence caused by single treatment, thus presenting a significant tumor treatment effect. This new multifunctional nanocarrier with self-catalytic production of NO provides a new idea for the efficient treatment of tumors.

Abstract
In thrombotic diseases, the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative stress as a "perpetrator" in thrombosis must be resolved. Accordingly, an insufficient understanding of thrombus therapy prompted the authors to pursue a more comprehensive and efficient antithrombotic treatment strategy. A Prussian blue (PB)-based nanodroplet system (PB-PFP@PC) is designed using PB and perfluorinated pentane (PFP) in the core, and a targeting peptide (CREKA, Cys-Arg-Glu-Lys-Ala) is attached to poly(lactic-coglycolic acid) (PLGA) as the delivery carrier shell. Upon near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, PB and PFP jointly achieve an unprecedented dual strategy for drug-free thrombolysis: photothermal therapy (PTT) combined with optical droplet vaporization (ODV). PB, a nanoenzyme, also regulates the vascular microenvironment via its antioxidant activity to continuously scavenge abnormally elevated ROS and correspondingly reduce inflammatory factors in the thrombus site. This study provides a demonstration of not only the potential of ODV in thrombus therapy but also the mechanism underlying PTT thrombolysis due to thermal ablation-induced fibrin network structural damage. Moreover, PB catalyzes ROS to generate oxygen (O2 ), which combines with the ODV effect, enhancing the ultrasound signal. Thus, regulation of the thrombosis microenvironment combined with specific nonpharmaceutical thrombolysis by PB nanodroplets provides a more comprehensive and efficient antithrombotic therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Despite great strides in anticancer research, performance statistics of current treatment modalities remain dismal, highlighting the need for safe, efficacious strategies for tumour mitigation. Non-invasive fusion technology platforms combining photodynamic, photothermal and hyperthermia therapies have emerged as alternate strategies with potential to meet many of the unmet clinical demands in the domain of cancer. These therapies make use of metallic and magnetic nanoparticles with light absorbing properties, which are manipulated to generate either reactive cytotoxic oxygen species or heat for tumour ablation. Combination therapies integrating light, heat and magnetism-mediated nanoplatforms with the conventional approaches of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery are emerging as precision medicine for targeted interventions against cancer. This article aims to compile recent developments of advanced nanocomposite assemblies that integrate multimodal therapeutics for cancer treatment. Amalgamation of various effective, non-invasive technological platforms such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), magnetic hyperthermia (MHT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) have tremendous potential in presenting safe and efficacious solutions to the formidable challenges in cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a cancer treatment that converts endogenous H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) through Fenton reaction to destroy cancer cells. However, there are still some challenges in accelerating the Fenton reaction of CDT and improving the biodegradability of nanocatalysts. Herein, a multifunctional biomimetic BPQDs-Cu@GOD (BCG) Fenton nanocatalyst for boosting synergistically enhanced H2O2-guided and photothermal CDT of cancer is reported. Cu2+ in BCG can be reduced to Cu+ by black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs), triggering a Cu+-mediated Fenton-like reaction to degrade H2O2 and generate abundant ˙OH for cancer CDT. The loaded glucose oxidase (GOD) can consume the glucose in the tumor to produce abundant H2O2 for Fenton-like reaction. In addition, Cu2+ in BCG can react with GSH in tumor cells to alleviate the antioxidant capacity of tumor tissues, further improving the CDT efficacy. Furthermore, the photothermal performance of BPQDs can be enhanced by capturing Cu2+, improving the photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) functions. More importantly, the enhanced photothermal performance can rapidly accelerate the Fenton-like reaction under NIR irradiation. Finally, Cu2+ can accelerate the degradation of BPQDs, which can reduce the retention of reagents. As a novel multifunctional biocompatible Fenton nanocatalyst, BCG have great potential in cancer therapy.

Near infrared light triggered ternary synergistic cancer therapy via L-arginine-loaded nanovesicles with modification of PEGylated indocyanine green. Acta Biomater 2022; 140:506-517.

Abstract
L-arginine (L-Arg) is an important nitric oxide (NO) donor, and its exploration in NO gas therapy has received widespread attention. Application of nano-platforms that can efficiently deliver L-Arg and induce its rapid conversion to NO becomes a predominant strategy to achieve promising therapeutic effects in tumor treatment. Herein, an enhanced nano-vesicular system of ternary synergistic treatment combining NO therapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT) along with mild photothermal therapy (MPTT) was developed for cancer therapy. We integrated photosensitizer PEGylated indocyanine green (mPEG-ICG) into polyphosphazene PEP nano-vesicles through co-assembly and simultaneously encapsulated NO donor L-Arg into the vesicle center chambers to form mPEG-ICG/L-Arg co-loaded system IA-PEP. The unique nanostructure of vesicle provided considerable loading capacity for mPEG-ICG and L-Arg with 15.9% and 17.95% loading content, respectively, and efficiently prevented mPEG-ICG and L-Arg from leaking. Significantly, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) was produced by IA-PEP under 808 nm laser irradiation to perform PDT against tumors, which concurrently reacted with L-Arg to release NO and arouse gas therapy effectively. Moreover, the mild heat produced by IA-PEP could exhibit cooperative anti-tumor effect with minimal damage. As a consequence, in vivo antitumor investigation on nude mice bearing xenograft MCF-7 tumors verified the potent anti-tumor efficacy of IA-PEP under 808 nm laser irradiation with complete tumor elimination. Taken together, the IA-PEP nano-vesicle system designed in this work may provide a promising treatment paradigm for synergistic cancer treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Nitric oxide (NO) gas therapy has drawn widespread attention due to its "green" treatment paradigm with negligible side effects. L-arginine (L-Arg) is an important NO donor. However, how to efficiently deliver L-Arg and induce NO generation remains a big challenge since L-Arg is a water-soluble small molecule. Herein, we developed a nano-vesicle system IA-PEP to integrate photosensitizer PEGylated indocyanine green and L-Arg with high loading content and to produce a ternary synergistic treatment combining NO therapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT) along with mild-temperature photothermal therapy (MPTT) under 808 nm laser irradiation. The in vivo investigation on nude mice bearing xenograft MCF-7 tumors verified its potent anti-tumor efficacy with complete tumor elimination.

Microenvironment-driven sequential ferroptosis, photodynamic therapy, and chemotherapy for targeted breast cancer therapy by a cancer-cell-membrane-coated nanoscale metal-organic framework. Biomaterials 2022; 283:121449. [PMID: 35247637 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 79] [Impact Index Per Article: 39.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Designing and developing nanomedicine based on the tumor microenvironment (TME) for effective cancer treatment is highly desirable. In this work, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) dispersed nanoscale metal-organic framework (NMOF) of Fe-TCPP (TCPP = tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin) loaded with hypoxia-activable prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) and coated by the cancer cell membrane (CM) is constructed (the formed nanocomposite denoted as PFTT@CM). Due to the functionalization with the homologous cancer cell membrane, PFTT@CM is camouflaged to evade the immune clearance and preferentially accumulates at the tumor site. Once internalized by cancer cells, PFTT@CM is activated by the TME through redox reaction and Fenton reaction between Fe3+ in nano-platform and endogenous glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to promote GSH exhausting as well as •OH and O2 production, which triggers ferroptosis and dramatically enhances photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy. Subsequently, the PDT process mediated by TCPP and light would consume oxygen and aggravate tumor hypoxia to further activate the prodrug TPZ for cancer chemotherapy. As a consequence, the TME-driven PFTT@CM nano-platform not only demonstrated its TME modulation ability but also showed a sequential synergistic therapy, which eventually inhibited the cancer cell proliferation. This multimodal nano-platform is expected to shed light on the design of TME-activatable reaction to reinforce the synergistic therapeutic outcome and facilitate the development of effective cancer nanomedicine.

Abstract
Synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) with gene therapy (GT) has drawn emerging interest in the improvement of cancer therapeutic efficiency, while the co-delivery of photothermal agents (PTAs) and therapeutic genes by an integrated nanoplatform, with controllability and biodegradability, is still challenging and urgently desired. Herein, a multi-functional metal–organic framework (MOF) based PTT–GT platform (siRNA@PT-ZIF-8) was developed, which was constructed with siRNA, a near-infrared (NIR) responsive organic dye IR780 derivative (IR780-1), and 2-methylimidazole (2-MIM) by a facile one-pot self-assembly method. This “all-in-one” system of siRNA@PT-ZIF-8 enabled not only photothermal/photoacoustic/fluorescence multimodal imaging but also tumor microenvironment responsiveness for specific and on-demand release of therapeutic cargos, overcoming the inherent limitations of free gene or organic PTA molecules (e.g., short blood circulation half-life and weak stability) in conventional PTT and GT. This nanoplatform provides an efficient and safe strategy for cancer theranostics, and the one-step assembly strategy favors personalized formulation design for diverse demands in cancer management. siRNA@PT-ZIF-8 was prepared by one pot self-assembly for tri-mode imaging guided mild-temperature photothermal synergetic gene therapy.![]()

Abstract
Intrinsic tumor microenvironment (TME)-related therapeutic resistance and nontumor-specific imaging have limited the application of imaging-guided cancer therapy. Herein, a TME-responsive MnO2-based nanoplatform coupled with turn-on and always-on fluorescence probes was designed through a facile biomineralization method for imaging-guided photodynamic/chemodynamic/photothermal therapy (PDT/CDT/PTT). After the tumor-targeting delivery of the AuNCs@MnO2-ICG@AS1411 (AMIT) nanoplatform via aptamer AS1411, the TME-responsive dissociation of MnO2 generated sufficient O2 and Mn2+ with the consumption of GSH for improving PDT efficacy and Fenton-like reaction-mediated CDT. Simultaneously, the released small-sized ICG and AuNCs facilitated PDT and PTT efficacy via the deep tumor penetration. Moreover, the turn-on fluorescence of AuNCs revealed the real-time TME-responsive MnO2 degradation process, and the always-on ICG fluorescence enabled the in situ monitoring of the payload distribution in vitro and in vivo. The AMIT NPs also provided magnetic resonance and thermal imaging guidance for the enhanced PDT, CDT, and PTT. Therefore, this all-in-one nanosystem provides a simple and versatile strategy for multiple imaging-guided theranostic applications.

Abstract
To date, various Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been prepared for biomedical applications due to their unique structural advantages. However, the safety and effectiveness of tumor treatment still need further exploration. This contribution reports a facile synthesis of PBA with superior tumor synergetic therapeutic effects and a detailed mechanistic evaluation of their intrinsic tumor metastasis inhibition activity. The as-synthesized PBA has a uniform cube structure with a diameter of approximately 220 nm and shows high near-infrared light (NIR) photoreactivity, photothermal conversion efficiency (41.44%), and photodynamic effect. Additionally, PBA could lead to a chemodynamic effect, which is caused by the Fenton reaction and ferroptosis. The combined therapy strategy of PBA exhibits notable tumor ablation properties due to photothermal therapy (PTT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT)/chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effects without obvious toxicity in vivo. The PBA has also shown potential as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging. More importantly, careful investigations reveal that PBA displays excellent biodegradation and anti-metastasis properties. Further exploration of the PBA implies that its underlying mechanism of intrinsic tumor metastasis inhibition activity can be attributed to the modulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) expression. The considerable potential exhibited by the as-synthesized PBA makes it an ideal candidate as a synergetic therapeutic agent for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Combined chemo-phototherapy for boosting the efficacy of individual modalities by synergism for antiglioma treatments is in its embryonic stage and far away from effective clinical translation. Herein, moving a step closer, we recommend a facile stratagem to fabricate smart biocompatible and biodegradable multifunctional nanoplatforms comprising inherently fluorescent poly(levodopamine) nanoparticles (FLs) co-loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and indocyanine green (ICG). The designed near-infrared (NIR) phototheranostic agents upon NIR laser irradiation helped precipitate combined chemo-phototherapy [both photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT)] and optical imaging under one roof. Excellent glioma-targeting ability was allocated to the nanoplatforms by conjugating them with a novel chimeric therapeutic peptide with glioma homing and antiglioma dual functionality. Further, DOX/ICG/peptide co-loaded nanoplatforms (FLDIPs) exhibited triggered drug release in response to multiple stimuli. Studies performed in 2D C6 glioma cells and 3D spheroids exhibited superior combined chemo-PDT/PTT effects (∼94% killing in cells and ∼87% in spheroids) of the designed FL based nanoplatforms compared to individual therapeutic components. Herein, the FL based multifunctional nanoplatforms with active targeting ability and stimuli responsive drug release behavior will further help in nullifying chemotherapy based adverse effects and mitigate chemo-resistance by adopting a combinatorial approach.

Abstract
Transcatheter arterial embolization has been considered as a promising targeted delivery approach for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Currently, chemoembolization was the main treatment for unresectable HCC. However, the traditional chemoembolization treatment suffers from undesirable therapeutic effects and serious side-effects. In this study, the doxorubicin (DOX)-encapsulated and near-infrared (NIR)-responsible copper sulfide (CuS)-based nanotherapeutics was developed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided chemo-photothermal therapy of HCC tumor in rats. The DOX-loaded CuS nanocomposites (DOX@BSA-CuS) demonstrated distinct NIR-triggered drug release behavior and high photothermal effect. In an orthotopic HCC rat model, DOX@BSA-CuS nanocomposites were selectively delivered to the tumor site via the intra-arterial transcatheter. The proposed DOX@BSA-CuS nanocomposites plus NIR laser irradiation exhibited significant tumor growth suppression performance. Moreover, the treatment progress can be monitored by MRI images. Finally, the preliminary toxicity estimate suggested the negligible side-effect of DOX@BSA-CuS nanocomposites during the therapeutic process. These results suggest the clinical translational potential possibility for imaging-guided arterial embolization with DOX@BSA-CuS nanocomposites for the treatment of HCC.

Abstract
Mitochondria-targeted synergistic therapy, including photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), has aroused wide attention due to the high sensitivity to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and heat shock of mitochondria. However, most of the developed nanosystems for the combinatorial functions require the integration of different components, such as photosensitizers and mitochondria-targeted molecules. Consequently, it indispensably requires sophisticated design and complex synthetic procedures. In this work, a well-designed Bi2S3-based nanoneedle, that localizes to mitochondria and produces extra ROS with inherent photothermal effect, was reported by doping of Fe (denoted as FeBS). The engineered intrinsic characteristics certify the capacity of such "one-for-all" nanosystems without additional molecules. The lipophilicity and surface positive charge are demonstrated as crucial factors for specifical mitochondria targeting. Significantly, Fe doping overcomes the disadvantage of the narrow band gap of Bi2S3 to prevent the fast recombination of electron-hole, hence resulting in the generation of ROS for PDT. The "one-for-all" nanoparticles integrate with mitochondria-targeting and synergistic effect of PDT and PTT, thus exhibit enhanced therapeutic effect and inhibit the growth of tumors observably. This strategy may open a new direction in designing the mitochondria-targeted materials and broadening the properties of inorganic semiconductor materials for satisfactory therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
1T-phase transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) nanomaterials are one type of emerging and promising near-infrared II (NIR-II) photothermal agents (PTAs) derived from their distinct metallic electronic structure, but it is still challenging to synthesize these nanomaterials. Herein, PdTe2 nanoparticles (PTNs) with a 1T crystal symmetry and around 50 nm in size are prepared by an electrochemical exfoliation method, and the corresponding photothermal performances irradiated under a NIR-II laser have been explored. The encapsulation of 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-poly(ethylene glycol) (DSPE-PEG) endows PTNs with water solubility, enhanced photothermal stability, and high biocompatibility. Notably, PTN/DSPE-PEG displays a potent absorbance through the NIR-II zone and considerable photothermal conversion efficiency, which is up to 68% when irradiated with a 1060 nm laser. With these unique photothermal properties, excellent in vitro and in vivo tumor inhibition effects of PTN/DSPE-PEG have been achieved under the irradiation of a NIR-II (1060 nm) laser without visible toxicity to normal tissues, suggesting that it is an efficient NIR-II photothermal nanoagent.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a branch of science dealing with the development of new types of nanomaterials by several methods. In the biomedical field, nanotechnology is widely used in the form of nanotherapeutics. Therefore, the current biomedical research pays much attention to nanotechnology for the development of efficient cancer treatment. Indocyanine green (ICG) is a near-infrared tricarbocyanine dye approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human clinical use. ICG is a biologically safe photosensitizer and it can kill tumor cells by producing singlet oxygen species and photothermal heat upon NIR irradiation. ICG has some limitations such as easy aggregation, rapid aqueous degradation, and a short half-life. To address these limitations, ICG is further formulated with nanoparticles. Therefore, ICG is integrated with organic nanomaterials (polymers, micelles, liposomes, dendrimers and protein), inorganic nanomaterials (magnetic, gold, mesoporous, calcium, and LDH based), and hybrid nanomaterials. The combination of ICG with nanomaterials provides highly efficient therapeutic effects. Nowadays, ICG is used for various biomedical applications, especially in cancer therapeutics. In this review, we mainly focus on ICG-based combined cancer nanotherapeutics for advanced cancer treatment.

Abstract
Traditional combinational photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) were limited in clinical therapy of cancer due to exceptionally low drug payload and activation by light with separate wavelengths. We have accidentally discovered that zinc phthalocyanine (ZNPC, a typical hydrophobic photosensitizer) and indocyanine green (ICG, a clinically approved fluorescence probe) could be co-assembled into carrier-free nanodrugs (almost 100 wt%) for single NIR laser-induced efficient PDT/PTT. Interestingly, ICG could act as "transformers" for modulating the geometric shape of ZNPC/ICG co-assembling structures from needle-like/spindle-like structure via cubic structure finally to spherical structure. Unfortunately, the nanodrugs suffered from rapid immune clearance. The ZNPC-ICG nanoprobes were further embedded into the erythrocyte membrane (RBC)-camouflaged framework. The designed ZNPC-ICG@RBC could be efficiently accumulated within the tumor sites (continue for ~60 h) and rapidly internalized into cancer cells upon laser irradiation rather than macrophage RAW264.7 cells. Compared with the free ZnPC or ICG, the biomimetic ZNPC-ICG@RBC nanoprobes exhibited amplified therapeutic effects by simultaneously producing ROS and hyperthermia, thereby synergistically improving antitumor efficiency and eliminating the tumors without any regrowth under the guidance of fluorescence imaging. The co-delivery of ZnPC and ICG via a biomimetic carrier-free system might be a promising strategy for bimodal phototherapy of cancer.

Abstract
Theoretically, on account of improved local bioavailability of photosensitizers and attenuated systemic phototoxicity, intravesical instillation-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) for bladder cancer (BCa) would demonstrate significant advantages in comparison with the intravenous route. Actually, the low transmucosal efficiency, hypoxia regulation deficiency, as well as the biosafety risks of intravesical drug agents all have greatly limited the clinical development of instillation-based PDT for BCa. Herein, based on our recent findings on bladder intravesical vectors and photodynamic treatment, we explore and find that the conventional antiparasitic agent nitazoxanide (NTZ) by mixing with chlorine e6 (Ce6) conjugated human serum albumin (HSA), HSA-Ce6, is capable of forming self-assembled HSA-Ce6/NTZ nanoparticles (NPs). Then, the HSA-Ce6/NTZ complexes further fabricate with fluorinated chitosan (FCS), the synthesized transmucosal carrier, to form a biocompatible nanoscale system HSA-Ce6/NTZ/FCS NPs, which exhibit remarkably improved transmucosal delivery and uptake capacities compared with HSA-Ce6/NTZ alone or non-fluorinated HSA-Ce6/NTZ/CS NPs. Meanwhile, due to the metabolic regulation of tumor cells by NTZ, the tumor hypoxia could be efficaciously ameliorated to further favor PDT. This work represents a new photosensitizer nanomedicine formulation for the perfection of PDT performance through the modulation of tumor hypoxia by clinically approved agents. Thus, intravesical instillation of HSA-Ce6/NTZ/FCS NPs with favorable biocompatibility, followed by cystoscope-mediated PDT, could achieve a dramatically improved therapeutic effect to ablate orthotopic bladder tumors.

Abstract
Phototherapy such as photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy in cancer treatment has been developed quickly over the past few years for its noninvasive nature and high efficiency. However, there are still many drawbacks in phototherapy that prevent it from clinical applications. Thus, scientists have designed different systems to overcome the issues associated with phototherapy, including enhancing the targeting ability of phototherapy, low-temperature photothermal therapy, replacing near-infrared light with other excitation sources, and so on. This article discusses the problems and shortcomings encountered in the development of phototherapy and highlights possible solutions to address them so that phototherapy may become a useful cancer treatment approach in clinical practice. This article aims to give a brief summary about current research advancements in phototherapy research and provides a quick guideline toward future developments in the field.

Abstract
A deep penetrating and pH-responsive composite nanosystem was strategically developed to improve the efficacy of synergetic photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) against hypoxic tumor. The designed nanosystem ([PHC]PP@HA NPs) was constructed by coloading hemoglobin (Hb) and chlorin e6 on polydopamine to build small-sized PHC NPs, which were encapsulated inside the polymer micelles (poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ethylenimine)) and then capped with functionalized hyaluronic acid. The pH-responsive feature made [PHC]PP@HA NPs retain an initial size of ∼140 nm in blood circulation but rapidly release small PHC NPs (∼10 nm) with a high tumor-penetrating ability in the tumor microenvironment. The in vitro penetration experiment showed that the penetration depth of PHC NPs in the multicellular tumor spheroids exceeded 110 μm. The [PHC]PP@HA NPs exhibited excellent biocompatibility, deep tumor permeability, high photothermal conversion efficiency (47.09%), and low combination index (0.59) under hypoxic conditions. Notably, the nanosystem can freely adjust the release of oxygen and damaging PHC NPs in an on-demand manner on the basis of the feedback of tumor activity. This feedback tumor therapy significantly improved the synergistic effect of PTT/PDT and reduced its toxic side effects. The in vivo antitumor results showed that the tumor inhibition rate of [PHC]PP@HA NPs with an on-demand oxygen supply of Hb was ∼100%, which was much better than those of PTT alone and Hb-free nanoparticles ([PC]PP@HA NPs). Consequently, the [PHC]PP@HA NP-mediated PTT/PDT guided by feedback tumor therapy achieved an efficient tumor ablation with an extremely low tumor recurrence rate (8.3%) 60 d later, indicating the versatile potential of PTT/PDT.
