Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal subtype of gliomas of the central nervous system. The efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) against GBM is significantly reduced by the expression of apoptosis-inhibitory proteins in GBM cells. In this study, an intelligent nanoplatform (denoted as Aza-BD@PC NPs) based on the aza-boron-dipyrromethene dye and phenyl chlorothionocarbonate-modified DSPE-PEG molecules is developed for synergistic ferroptosis-enabled gas therapy (GT) and SDT of GBM. Once internalized by GBM cells, Aza-BD@PC NPs showed effective cysteine (Cys) consumption and Cys-triggered hydrogen sulfide (H2S) release for ferroptosis-enabled GT, thereby disrupting homeostasis in the intracellular environment, affecting GBM cell metabolism, and inhibiting GBM cell proliferation. Additionally, the released Aza-BD generated abundant singlet oxygen (1O2) under ultrasound irradiation for favorable SDT. In vivo and in vitro evaluations demonstrated that the combined functions of Cys consumption, H2S production, and 1O2 production induced significant death of GBM cells and markedly inhibited tumor growth, with an impressive inhibition rate of up to 97.5%. Collectively, this study constructed a cascade nanoreactor with satisfactory Cys depletion performance, excellent H2S release capability, and prominent reactive oxygen species production ability under ultrasound irradiation for the synergistic ferroptosis-enabled GT and SDT of gliomas.

Abstract
The clinical efficacy of current cancer therapies falls short, and there is a pressing demand to integrate new targets with conventional therapies. Autophagy, a highly conserved self-degradation process, has received considerable attention as an emerging therapeutic target for cancer. With the rapid development of nanomedicine, nanomaterials have been widely utilized in cancer therapy due to their unrivaled delivery performance. Hence, considering the potential benefits of integrating autophagy and nanotechnology in cancer therapy, we outline the latest advances in autophagy-based nanotherapeutics. Based on a brief background related to autophagy and nanotherapeutics and their impact on tumor progression, the feasibility of autophagy-based nanotherapeutics for cancer treatment is demonstrated. Further, emerging nanotherapeutics developed to modulate autophagy are reviewed from the perspective of cell signaling pathways, including modulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, autophagy-related (ATG) and its complex expression, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitophagy, interference with autophagosome-lysosome fusion, and inhibition of hypoxia-mediated autophagy. In addition, combination therapies in which nano-autophagy modulation is combined with chemotherapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy are also described. Finally, the prospects and challenges of autophagy-based nanotherapeutics for efficient cancer treatment are envisioned.

J Control Release 2024; 370:866-878.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) as one of the most lethal brain tumours, remains poor therapeutic index due to its typical characters including heterogeneous, severe immune suppression as well as the existence of blood brain barrier (BBB). Immune sonodynamic (ISD) therapy combines noninvasive sonodynamic therapy with immunotherapy, which has great prospects for the combinational treatment of GBM. Herein, we develop macrophage cell membrane cloaked reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsive biomimetic nanoparticles, co-delivering of sonosensitizer Ce6 and JQ1 (a bromo-domain protein 4 (BRD4) inhibitor which can down-regulate PD-L1) and realizing potent GBM ISD therapy. The ApoE peptide decorated macrophage membrane coating endows these biomimetic nanoparticles with low immunogenicity, efficient BBB permeability, prolonged blood circulation half-live and good biocompatibility. The ROS responsive polymeric inner core could be readily degraded as triggered by excessive ROS under the ultrasound once they accumulated in tumour cells, fast release encapsulated drugs. The generation of ROS not only killed tumour cells via sonodynamic therapy, but also induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) and further activated the anti-tumour immune response. The released JQ1 inhibited tumour cell proliferation and augmented the immune activities by inhibiting the PD-L1 expression on the surface of tumour cells. The cascade sonodynamic and immune therapy resulted in significantly improved median survival time in both orthotopic GL261 and PTEN deficient immunosuppressive CT2A GBM mice models. Therefore, our developed biomimetic nanoparticle platform provides a promising combinational therapy strategy to treat immune suppressive GBM.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) intervenes, that is, a potential treatment strategy, and has attracted wide attention in the field of tumor therapy. However, the therapeutic effect of NO is still poor, due to its short half-life and instability. Therapeutic concentration ranges of NO should be delivered to the target tissue sites, cell, and even subcellular organelles and to control NO generation. Mitochondria have been considered a major target in cancer therapy for their essential roles in cancer cell metabolism and apoptosis. In this study, mesoporous silicon-coated gold nanorods encapsulated with a mitochondria targeted and the thermosensitive lipid layer (AuNR@MSN-lipid-DOX) served as the carrier to load NO prodrug (BNN6) to build the near-infrared-triggered synergetic photothermal NO-chemotherapy platform (AuNR@MSN(BNN6)-lipid-DOX). The core of AuNR@MSN exhibited excellent photothermal conversion capability and high loading efficiency in terms of BNN6, reaching a high value of 220 mg/g (w/w), which achieved near-infrared-triggered precise release of NO. The outer biocompatible lipid layer, comprising thermosensitive phospholipid DPPC and mitochondrial-targeted DSPE-PEG2000-DOX, guided the whole nanoparticle to the mitochondria of 4T1 cells observed through confocal microscopy. In the mitochondria, the nanoparticles increased the local temperature over 42 °C under NIR irradiation, and a high NO concentration from BNN6 detected by the NO probe and DSPE-PEG2000-DOX significantly inhibited 4T1 cancer cells in vitro and in vivo under the synergetic photothermal therapy (PTT)-NO therapy-chemotherapy modes. The built NIR-triggered combination therapy nanoplatform can serve as a strategy for multimodal collaboration.

Abstract
Combined photothermal therapy and nitric oxide (NO)-mediated gas therapy has shown great potential as a cancer treatment. However, the on-demand release of NO at a high concentration presents a challenge owing to the lack of an ideal bio-transducer with a high loading capacity of NO donors and sufficient energy to induce NO release. Here, we present a new 2D BiTiS3 nanosheet that is synthesized, loaded with the NO donor (BNN6), and conjugated with PEG-iRGD to produce a multifunctional bio-transducer (BNN6-BiTiS3-iRGD) for the on-demand production of NO. The BiTiS3 nanosheets not only have a high loading capacity of NO donors (750%), but also exhibit a high photothermal conversion efficiency (59.5%) after irradiation by a 1064-nm laser at 0.5 W/cm2. As a result of the above advantages, the temporal-controllable generation of NO within a large dynamic range (from 0 to 344 μM) is achieved by adjusting power densities, which is among the highest efficiency values reported for NO generators so far. Moreover, the targeted accumulation of BNN6-BiTiS3-iRGD at tumor sites leads to spatial-controllable NO release. In vitro and in vivo assessments demonstrate synergistic NO gas therapy with mild photothermal therapy based on BNN6-BiTiS3-iRGD. Our work provides insights into the design and application of other 2D nanomaterial-based therapeutic platforms.

Abstract
Cancer represents a serious disease with significant implications for public health, imposing substantial economic burden and negative societal consequences. Compared to conventional cancer treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy, energy-based therapies (ET) based on athermal and thermal ablation provide distinct advantages, including minimally invasive procedures and rapid postoperative recovery. Nevertheless, due to the complex pathophysiology of many solid tumors, the therapeutic effectiveness of ET is often limited. Nanotechnology offers unique opportunities by enabling facile material designs, tunable physicochemical properties, and excellent biocompatibility, thereby further augmenting the outcomes of ET. Numerous nanomaterials have demonstrated the ability to overcome intrinsic therapeutic resistance associated with ET, leading to improved antitumor responses. This comprehensive review systematically summarizes the underlying mechanisms of ET-associated resistance (ETR) and highlights representative applications of nanoplatforms used to mitigate ETR. Overall, this review emphasizes the recent advances in the field and presents a detailed account of novel nanomaterial designs in combating ETR, along with efforts aimed at facilitating their clinical translation.

Abstract
The efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) mainly relies on the sonosensitizers, which generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon ultrasound (US) stimulation. However, the limited availability of high-efficiency sonosensitizers hampers the therapeutic effectiveness of SDT as a standalone modality. In this work, a robust sonodynamic and gas cancer therapeutic platform is constructed based on strontium (Sr) doped barium titanate (BST) piezoelectric nanoparticles functionalized with L-arginine (BST@LA). The doping of Sr into A site of the ABO3 piezoelectric nanocrystals not only introduces oxygen vacancies into the nanoparticles and enhance the intrinsic piezoelectricity, but also narrows the semiconductor band gap and enhances charge carrier migration, all of which facilitate the sonodynamic production of superoxide anion (•O2 - ) and hydroxyl radical (•OH). In addition, the generated ROS promotes the decomposition of the surface-tethered LA, enabling the controlled release of nitric oxide (NO) gas at the tumor site, thereby achieving a combination therapeutic effect. In vivo experiments exhibit remarkable tumor suppression rate (89.5%) in 4T1 tumor mice model, demonstrating the effectiveness of this strategy. The ion doping and oxygen vacancy engineering to improve sonosensitizers, along with the synergistic combination of sonodynamic and gas therapy, provides promising avenues for improving cancer therapy.

Abstract
Imaging-guided therapy holds great potential for enhancing therapeutic performance in a personalized way. However, it is still challenging to develop appropriate multifunctional materials to overcome the limitations of current all-in-one theranostic agents. In this study, we developed a one-for-all theranostic nanoplatform called Mn(II)-hemoporfin MOFs, designed specifically for MRI-guided sonodynamic tumor therapy. The formation of MOF structures not only improves imaging but also enhances therapeutic effects through collective actions. Furthermore, by modifying polyethylene glycol (PEG), Mn(II)-hemoporfin-PEG was able to enhance permeability and retention effects, ensuring long circulation in the blood and accumulation in the tumor. MRI enhancement provided by Mn(II)-hemoporfin-PEG remained localized at the tumor site, with Mn(II)-hemoporfin-PEG demonstrating 88.6% efficacy in sonodynamic therapy testing in vivo. Mn(II)-hemoporfin-PEG exhibits excellent longitudinal relaxation, MRI effects, and sonodynamic performance, making it a promising alternative for clinical cancer treatment.

Abstract
Phototherapy and sonotherapy are recognized by scientific medicine as effective strategies for treating certain cancers. However, these strategies have limitations such as an inability to penetrate deeper tissues and overcome the antioxidant tumor microenvironment. In this study, a novel "BH" interfacial-confined coordination strategy to synthesize hyaluronic acid-functionalized single copper atoms dispersed over boron imidazolate framework-derived nanocubes (HA-NC_Cu) to achieve sonothermal-catalytic synergistic therapy is reported. Notably, HA-NC_Cu demonstrates exceptional sonothermal conversion performance under low-intensity ultrasound irradiation, attained through intermolecular lattice vibrations. In addition, it shows promise as an efficient biocatalyst, able to generate high-toxicity hydroxyl radicals in response to tumor-endogenous hydrogen peroxide and glutathione. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the superior parallel catalytic performance of HA-NC_Cu originates from the CuN4 C/B active sites. Both in vitro and in vivo evaluations consistently demonstrate that the sonothermal-catalytic synergistic strategy significantly improves tumor inhibition rate (86.9%) and long-term survival rate (100%). In combination with low-intensity ultrasound irradiation, HA-NC_Cu triggers a dual death pathway of apoptosis and ferroptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, comprehensively limiting primary triple-negative breast cancer. This study highlights the applications of single-atom-coordinated nanotherapeutics in sonothermal-catalytic synergistic therapy, which may create new opportunities in biomedical research.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a pro-inflammatory cell death that is associated with innate immunity promotion against tumors. Excess nitric oxide (NO)-triggered nitric stress has potential to induce pyroptosis, but the precise delivery of NO is challenging. Ultrasound (US)-responsive NO production has dominant priority due to its deep penetration, low side effects, noninvasion, and local activation manner. In this work, US-sensitive NO donor N-methyl-N-nitrosoaniline (NMA) with thermodynamically favorable structure is selected and loaded into hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified hollow manganese dioxide nanoparticles (hMnO2 NPs) to fabricate hMnO2 @HA@NMA (MHN) nanogenerators (NGs). The obtained NGs have a record-high NO generation efficiency under US irradiation and can release Mn2+ after targeting the tumor sites. Later on, cascade tumor pyroptosis and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-based immunotherapy is achieved and tumor growth is effectively inhibited.

Abstract
Currently, undeveloped diagnosis and delayed treatment of bacteria-infected sites in vivo not only expand the risk of tissue infection but are also a major clinical cause of multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections. Herein, an efficient nanoplatform for near-infrared (NIR)-light-controlled release and bacteria-targeted delivery of nitric oxide (NO) combined with photothermal therapy (PTT) is presented. Using maltotriose-decorated mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA-Mal) and BNN6, a smart antibacterial (B@MPDA-Mal) is developed to combine bacterial targeting, gas-controlled release, and PTT. Utilizing bacteria's unique maltodextrin transport system, B@MPDA-Mal can accurately distinguish bacterial infection from sterile inflammation and target the bacteria-infected sites for efficient drug enrichment. Moreover, NIR-light causes MPDA to generate heat, which not only effectively induces BNN6 to produce NO, but also raises the temperature to harm the bacteria further. NO/photothermal combination therapy effectively eliminates biofilm and drug-resistant bacteria. The myositis model of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection is established and indicates that B@MPDA-Mal can successfully eradicate inflammation and abscesses in mice. Meanwhile, magnetic resonance imaging technology is used to monitor the treatment procedure and healing outcomes. Given the aforementioned advantages, the smart antibacterial nanoplatform B@MPDA-Mal can be used as a potential therapeutic tool in the biomedical field against drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Abstract
Macrophages as the main cause of cancer immunosuppression, how to effectively induce macrophage M1 polarization remain the major challenge in lung cancer therapy. Herein, inspired by endogenous reactions, a strategy is proposed to coactivate macrophage M1 polarization by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) with self-autocatalytic cascade reaction. To enhance the generation of NO and ROS, NO Precursor-Arginine as capping agents for inducing synthesis two kinds of chiral ruthenium nanozyme (D/L-Arginine@Ru). Under the properties of Ru nanozymes through synchronously mimicking the activity of oxidase and nitric oxide synthase (NOS), chiral Ru nanozyme can rapidly generate 1 O2 and O2 at first stage, and then catalyze Arginine to produce sufficient NO, thus enhance macrophage M1 polarization to reverse tumor immunosuppression. Moreover, combination the antitumor activity of 1 O2 , NO, the chiral Ru nanozymes realize the "cocktail therapy" by inducing tumor cell apoptosis as well as ferroptosis. In addition, the chirality influences the bioactivity of Ru nanozymes that L-Arginine@Ru shows the better therapeutic effect with stronger catalytic activity and natural homology. It is hoped the high performance of chiral Ru nanozyme with "cocktail therapy" is an effective therapeutic reagent and can provide a feasible treatment strategy for tumor catalytic therapy.

Abstract
The efficacy of reactive oxygen species-mediated therapy is generally limited by hypoxia and overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME). To address these issues, herein, a smart Mn3O4/OCN-PpIX@BSA nanoplatform is rationally developed to enhance the combinational therapeutic efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) through TME modulation. For constructing the catalytic nanoplatform (Mn3O4/OCN-PpIX@BSA), Mn3O4 nanoparticles were grown in situ on oxidized g-C3N4 (OCN) nanosheets, and the as-prepared Mn3O4/OCN nano-hybrids were then successively loaded with protoporphyrin (PpIX) and coated with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The catalase-like Mn3O4 nanoparticles are able to effectively catalyze the overexpressed endogenous H2O2 to produce O2, which could relieve hypoxia and improve the therapeutic effect of combinational CDT/SDT. The decomposition of Mn3O4 by GSH enables the release of Mn2+ ions, which not only facilitates good T1/T2 dual-modal magnetic resonance imaging for tumor localization but also results in the depletion of GSH and the Mn2+-driven Fenton-like reaction, thus further amplifying the oxidative stress and achieving improved therapeutic efficacy. It is worth noting that the Mn3O4/OCN-PpIX@BSA nanocomposites exhibit minimal toxicity to normal tissues at therapeutic doses. These positive findings provide a new strategy for the convenient construction of TME-regulating smart theranostic nanoagents to improve the therapeutic outcomes towards malignant tumors effectively.

Abstract
As an important endogenous signaling molecule, nitric oxide (NO) is involved in various physiological and pathological activities in living organisms. It is proved that NO plays a critical role in tumor therapy, while the extremely short half-life and nonspecific distribution of NO greatly limit its further clinical applications. Thus, the past few decades have witnessed the progress made in conquering these shortcomings, including developing innovative NO donors, especially smart and multimodal nanoplatforms. These platforms can precisely control the spatiotemporal distribution of therapeutic agents in the organism, which make big differences in tumor treatment. Here current NO therapeutic mechanisms for cancer, NO donors from small molecules to smart-responsive nanodrug delivery platforms, and NO-based combination therapy are comprehensively reviewed, emphasizing outstanding breakthroughs in these fields and hoping to bring new insights into NO-based tumor treatments.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging noninvasive treatment modality that utilizes low-frequency and low-intensity ultrasound (US) to trigger sensitizers to kill tumor cells with reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although SDT has attracted much attention for its properties including high tumor specificity and deep tissue penetration, its anticancer efficacy is still far from satisfactory. As a result, new strategies such as gas-assisted therapy have been proposed to further promote the effectiveness of SDT. In this review, the mechanisms of SDT and gas-assisted SDT are first summarized. Then, the applications of gas-assisted SDT for cancer therapy are introduced and categorized by gas types. Next, therapeutic systems for SDT that can realize real-time imaging are further presented. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of gas-assisted SDT for future clinical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous, multipotent biological signaling molecule that participates in several physiological processes. Recently, exogenous supplementation of tumor tissues with NO has emerged as a potential anticancer therapy. In particular, it induces synergistic effects with other conventional therapies (such as chemo-, radio-, and photodynamic therapies) by regulating the activity of P-glycoprotein, acting as a vascular relaxant to relieve tumor hypoxia, and participating in the metabolism of reactive oxygen species. However, NO is highly reactive, and its half-life is relatively short after generation. Meanwhile, NO-induced anticancer activity is dose-dependent. Therefore, the targeted delivery of NO to the tumor is required for better therapeutic effects. In the past decade, NO-generating nanomedicines (NONs), which enable sustained and specific NO release in tumor tissues, have been developed for enhanced cancer therapy. This review describes the recent efforts and preclinical achievements in the development of NON-based cancer therapies. The chemical structures employed in the fabrication of NONs are summarized, and the strategies involved in NON-based cancer therapies are elaborated.

Titanium Sulfide Nanosheets Serve as Cascade Bioreactors for H 2 S-Mediated Programmed Gas-Sonodynamic Cancer Therapy. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2022; 9:e2201069.

Abstract
Gas-mediated sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has the potential to become an effective strategy to improve the therapeutic outcome and survival rate of cancer patients. Herein, titanium sulfide nanosheets (TiSX NSs) are prepared as cascade bioreactors for sequential gas-sonodynamic cancer therapy. TiSX NSs themselves as hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) donors can burst release H2 S gas. Following H2 S generation, TiSX NSs are gradually degraded to become S-defective and partly oxidized into TiOX on their surface, which endows TiSX NSs with high sonodynamic properties under ultrasound (US) irradiation. In vitro and in vivo experiments show the excellent therapeutic effects of TiSX NSs. In detail, large amounts of H2 S gas and reactive oxygen species (ROS) can simultaneously inhibit mitochondrial respiration and ATP synthesis, leading to cancer cell apoptosis. Of note, H2 S gas also plays important roles in modulating and activating the immune system to effectively inhibit pulmonary metastasis. Finally, the metabolizable TiSX NSs are excreted out of the body without inducing any significant long-term toxicity. Collectively, this work establishes a cascade bioreactor of TiSX NSs with satisfactory H2 S release ability and excellent ROS generation properties under US irradiation for programmed gas-sonodynamic cancer therapy.

Abstract
The analysis of glyphosate is essential to agricultural production, environment protection and public health. Herein, we proposed a fast and convenient “on-off-on” fluorescence platform for sensitive detection of glyphosate via Cu2+ modulated g-C3N4 nanosheets. The fluorescence of the system was quenched by Cu2+. With the presence of glyphosate, the fluorescence could be restored due to the formation of Cu2+- glyphosate complex. The proposed method was cost-effective with label-free and enzyme-free. Moreover, it exhibits high sensitivity with a low detection limit of 0.01 μg/ml. Furthermore, the proposed method has been successfully monitored glyphosate in real samples.

Abstract
As a noninvasive treatment approach for cancer and other diseases, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has attracted extensive attention due to the deep penetration of ultrasound, good focusing, and selective irradiation sites. However, intrinsic limitations of traditional sonosensitizers hinder the widespread application of SDT. With the development of nanotechnology, nanoparticles as sonosensitizers or as a vehicle to deliver sonosensitizers have been designed and used to target tissues or tumor cells with high specificity and accuracy. Autophagy is a common metabolic alteration in both normal cells and tumor cells. When autophagy happens, a double-membrane autophagosome with sequestrated intracellular components is delivered and fused with lysosomes for degradation. Recycling these cell materials can promote survival under a variety of stress conditions. Numerous studies have revealed that both apoptosis and autophagy occur after SDT. This review summarizes recent progress in autophagy activation by SDT through multiple mechanisms in tumor therapies, drug resistance, and lipid catabolism. A promising tumor therapy, which combines SDT with autophagy inhibition using a nanoparticle delivering system, is presented and investigated.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a rapidly developing non-surgical therapy that initiates sensitizers’ catalytic reaction using ultrasound, showing great potential for cancer treatment due to its high safety and non-invasive nature. In addition, recent research has found that using different diagnostic and therapeutic methods in tandem can lead to better anticancer outcomes. Therefore, as essential components of SDT, sonosensitizers have been extensively explored to optimize their functions and integrate multiple medical fields. The review is based on five years of articles evaluating the combined use of SDT and imaging in treating cancer. By developing multifunctional sonosensitive particles that combine imaging and sonodynamic therapy, we have integrated diagnosis into the treatment of precision medicine applications, improving SDT cell uptake and antitumor efficacy utilizing different tumour models. This paper describes the imaging principle and the results of cellular and animal imaging of the multifunctional sonosensitizers. Efforts are made in this paper to provide data and design references for future SDT combined imaging research and clinical application development and to provide offer suggestions.

Abstract
The development of degradable hydrogel fillers with high antibacterial activity and wound-healing property is urgently needed for the treatment of infected wounds. Herein, an injectable, degradable, photoactivated antibacterial hydrogel (MPDA-BNN6@Gel) was developed by incorporating BNN6-loaded mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA-BNN6 NPs) into a fibrin-based hydrogel. After administration, MPDA-BNN6@Gel created local hyperthermia and released large quantities of NO gas to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection under the stimulation of an 808 nm laser. Experiments confirmed that the bacteria were eradicated through irreversible damage to the cell membrane, genetic metabolism, and material energy. Furthermore, in the absence of laser irradition, the fibrin and small amount of NO that originated from MPDA-BNN6@Gel promoted wound healing in vivo. This work indicates that MPDA-BNN6@Gel is a promising alternative for the treatment of infected wounds and provides a facile tactic to design a photoregulated bactericidal hydrogel for accelerating infected wound healing.

Abstract
Two-dimensional nanomaterial-based catalytic medicines that associate the superiorities of novel catalytic mechanisms with nanotechnology have emerged as absorbing therapeutic strategies for cancer therapy. Catalytic medicines featuring high efficiency and selectivity have been widely used as effective anticancer strategies without applying traditional nonselective and highly toxic chemodrugs. Moreover, two-dimensional nanomaterials are characterized by distinctive physicochemical properties, such as a sizeable bandgap, good conductivity, fast electron transfer and photoelectrochemical activity. The introduction of two-dimensional nanomaterials into catalytic medicine provides a more effective, controllable, and precise antitumor strategy. In this review, different types of two-dimensional nanomaterial-based catalytic nanomedicines are generalized, and their catalytic theories, advanced catalytic pathways and catalytic nanosystem design are also discussed in detail. Notably, future challenges and obstacles in the design and further clinical transformation of two-dimensional nanomaterial-based catalytic nanomedicine are prospected.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a causative factor of various gastrointestinal tract diseases. As clinical antibiotic-based therapy for H. pylori infection might induce bacterial drug resistance, the in vivo eradication of H. pylori remains a huge challenge. In the present study, monoclonal antibody-conjugated liposomes loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) (HpAb-LiP-ICG) were successfully developed for targeted photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided sonodynamic therapy (SDT) of H. pylori infection in vivo. HpAb-LiP-ICG showed high stability and favorable biocompatibility in acidic environment (pH 1.5) and was used for treating H. pylori-infected mice through oral administration. PA imaging showed that HpAb-LiP-ICG could precisely recognize and target H. pylori in the stomach. Following the targeting of HpAb-LiP-ICG to H. pylori, ICG was activated to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) for eliminating H. pylori under ultrasound (US) irradiation. Pathological analysis revealed that the HpAb-LiP-ICG-mediated SDT eradicated H. pylori without unintended toxicity to normal tissues. In conclusion, the HpAb-LiP-ICG-mediated SDT might shed new light on treating H. pylori infection, indicating the clinical translational prospects of this therapy in near future. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Traditional antibiotic-based therapy for Helicobacter pylori infections suffers from the risk of drug resistance. To meet this challenge, a monoclonal antibody-conjugated nanoliposome loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) (HpAb-LiP-ICG) was successfully developed, and efficient eradication of H. pylori was achieved in vivo by visual sonodynamic therapy (SDT). HpAb-LiP-ICG exhibited biocompatibility, targeting, and stability in the acidic microenvironment. Under ultrasound (US) irradiation in vitro, the HpAb-LiP-ICG nanoliposomes accumulated on the surface of H. pylori were activated to produce adequate singlet oxygen (1O2) to eliminate H. pylori. Gastric mucous tissues infected with H. pylori recovered to the normal state after HpAb-LiP-ICG-mediated SDT without side effects, thus highlighting the clinical translational prospects of the prepared HpAb-LiP-ICG nanoliposome in near future.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), which uses reactive oxygen species to target tumors, has shown promise in the management of unresectable cancers. However, the hypoxic tumor environment limits SDT efficiency, making complete tumor destruction challenging. Here, a dual-sonosensitizer nanoplatform is developed by loading an alkyl radical generator (2,2-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochloride, AIPH) onto a zirconium metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF). The Zr-MOF@AIPH nanoparticles (NPs) can produce singlet oxygen, which can kill tumor cells under normoxic conditions, as well as alkyl radicals, which can kill tumor cells under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. The combination of these free radicals further enhances SDT efficiency. Meanwhile, the nitrogen generated owing to AIPH decomposition can reduce the cavitation threshold and enhance the acoustic cavitation effect, thereby promoting NP penetration at the tumor site. Moreover, Zr-MOF@AIPH NPs exhibit good photoacoustic, fluorescence, and ultrasound imaging abilities due to their porphyrin-based structure and the nitrogen generated, which can remotely control NP delivery and determine the optimal therapeutic time window, ensuring the maximization of SDT efficiency. In vitro and in vivo examinations prove the superior antitumor efficacy, excellent biocompatibility, and favorable imaging ability of Zr-MOF@AIPH. This study spearheads the charge toward improving SDT efficacy in hypoxic environments via a combination of complementary sonosensitizers.

Dynamic nano-assemblies based on two-dimensional inorganic nanoparticles: Construction and preclinical demonstration. Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2022; 180:114031. [PMID: 34736985 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2021.114031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Dynamic drug delivery systems (DDSs) have the ability of transforming their morphology and functionality in response to the biological microenvironments at the disease site and/or external stimuli, show spatio-temporally controllable drug delivery, and enhance the treatment efficacy. Due to the large surface area and modification flexibility, two-dimensional (2D) inorganic nanomaterials are being increasingly exploited for developing intelligent DDSs for biomedical applications. In this review, we summarize the engineering methodologies used to construct transformable 2D DDSs, including changing compositions, creating defects, and surface dot-coating with polymers, biomolecules, or nanodots. Then we present and discuss dynamic inorganic 2D DDSs whose transformation is driven by the diseased characteristics, such as pH gradient, redox, hypoxia, and enzyme in the tumor microenvironment as well as the external stimuli including light, magnetism, and ultrasound. Finally, the limitations and challenges of current transformable inorganic DDSs for clinical translation and their in vivo safety assessment are discussed.

Abstract
The emerging area of gas-mediated cancer treatment has received widespread attention in the medical community. Featuring unique physical, chemical, and biological properties, nanomaterials can facilitate the delivery and controllable release of medicinal gases at tumor sites, and also serve as ideal platforms for the integration of other therapeutic modalities with gas therapy to augment cancer therapeutic efficacy. This review presents an overview of anti-cancer mechanisms of several therapeutic gases: nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen (O₂), and hydrogen (H₂). Controlled release behaviors of gases under different endogenous and exogenous stimuli are also briefly discussed, followed by their synergistic effects with different therapeutic modes. Moreover, the potential challenges and future prospects regarding gas therapy based on nanomaterials are also described, aiming to facilitate the advancement of gas therapeutic nanomedicine in new frontiers for highly efficient cancer treatment.

Abstract
2D MXene, Ti3 C2 (TC), has displayed enormous potential in applications in photothermal therapy (PTT), attributing to its biocompatibility and outstanding photothermal conversion capability. However, some tumor ablations are difficult to be realized completely by monotherapy due to the essential defects of monotherapy and intricate tumor microenvironment (TME). In this work, the appropriate doped Fe2+ ions are anchored into the layers of 2D ultrathin TC nanosheets (TC NSs) to synthesize a novel multifunctional nanoshell of Fe(II)-Ti3 C2 (FTC) through interlayer electrostatic adsorption. FTC possesses superior photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE) than TC NSs, attributing to the enhanced conductivity promoted by interlaminar ferrous ion-channels. Moreover, Fenton reaction based on ferrous ions endows FTC the abilities of reactive oxide species (ROS) releasing and glutathione (GSH) suppression triggered by near-infrared (NIR) laser, featuring splendid biocompatibility and curative effect in hypoxic TME. Meanwhile, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) responding in FTC reveals the potential as an integrated diagnosis and treatment nanoplatform. FTC could provide new insights into the development of multimoded synergistic nanoplatform for biological applications, especially breaking the shackles of MXenes merely used as a photo-thermal agent (PTA), adopting it to bioimaging sensor and drug loading.
