Abstract
Cytosolic delivery of proteins and peptides provides opportunities for effective disease treatment, as they can specifically modulate intracellular processes. However, most of protein-based therapeutics only have extracellular targets and are cell-membrane impermeable due to relatively large size and hydrophilicity. The use of organelle-targeting strategy offers great potential to overcome extracellular and cell membrane barriers, and enables localization of protein and peptide therapeutics in the organelles. Although progresses have been made in the recent years, organelle-targeted protein and peptide delivery is still challenging and under exploration. We reviewed recent advances in subcellular targeted delivery of proteins/peptides with a focus on targeting mechanisms and strategies, and highlight recent examples of active and passive organelle-specific protein and peptide delivery systems. This emerging platform could open a new avenue to develop more effective protein and peptide therapeutics.

Abstract
Membrane trafficking within the Golgi apparatus plays a pivotal role in the intracellular transportation of lipids and proteins. Dysregulation of this process can give rise to various pathological manifestations, including cancer. Exploiting Golgi defects, cancer cells capitalise on aberrant membrane trafficking to facilitate signal transduction, proliferation, invasion, immune modulation, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Despite the identification of several molecular signalling pathways associated with Golgi abnormalities, there remains a lack of approved drugs specifically targeting cancer cells through the manipulation of the Golgi apparatus. In the initial section of this comprehensive review, the focus is directed towards delineating the abnormal Golgi genes and proteins implicated in carcinogenesis. Subsequently, a thorough examination is conducted on the impact of these variations on Golgi function, encompassing aspects such as vesicular trafficking, glycosylation, autophagy, oxidative mechanisms, and pH alterations. Lastly, the review provides a current update on promising Golgi apparatus-targeted inhibitors undergoing preclinical and/or clinical trials, offering insights into their potential as therapeutic interventions. Significantly more effort is required to advance these potential inhibitors to benefit patients in clinical settings.

Abstract
Growing demand for highly effective, site-specific delivery of pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals using nano-sized carriers has prompted increased scrutiny of carrier biocompatibility and biodegradability. To address these concerns, biodegradable natural polymers have emerged as a transformative domain, offering non-toxic, precisely targetable carriers capable of finely modulating cargo pharmacokinetics while generating innocuous decomposition by-products. This comprehensive review illuminates the emergence of polysaccharide-based nanoparticulate drug delivery systems. These systems establish an interactive interface between drug and targeted organs, guided by strategic modifications to polysaccharide backbones, which facilitate the creation of morphologically, constitutionally, and characteristically vibrant nanostructures through various fabrication routes, underpinning their pivotal role in biomedical applications. Advancements crucial to enhancing polysaccharide-based drug delivery, such as surface modifications and bioinspired modifications for enhanced targeting, and stimuli-responsive release, strategies to overcome biological barriers, enhance tumor penetration, and optimize therapeutic outcomes are highlighted. This review also examines some potent challenges, and the contemporary way out of them, and discusses future perspectives in the field.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is a well-established cytotoxic therapy for local solid cancers, utilizing high-energy ionizing radiation to destroy cancer cells. However, this method has several limitations, including low radiation energy deposition, severe damage to surrounding normal cells, and high tumor resistance to radiation. Among various radiotherapy methods, boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has emerged as a principal approach to improve the therapeutic ratio of malignancies and reduce lethality to surrounding normal tissue, but it remains deficient in terms of insufficient boron accumulation as well as short retention time, which limits the curative effect. Recently, a series of radiosensitizers that can selectively accumulate in specific organelles of cancer cells have been developed to precisely target radiotherapy, thereby reducing side effects of normal tissue damage, overcoming radioresistance, and improving radiosensitivity. In this review, we mainly focus on the field of nanomedicine-based cancer radiotherapy and discuss the organelle-targeted radiosensitizers, specifically including nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes. Furthermore, the organelle-targeted boron carriers used in BNCT are particularly presented. Through demonstrating recent developments in organelle-targeted radiosensitization, we hope to provide insight into the design of organelle-targeted radiosensitizers for clinical cancer treatment.

Abstract
Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) has great advantages for the treatment of bacterial infections, photosensitizers (PSs) often have many disadvantages that limit their application. Improving the shortcomings of PSs and developing efficient PDT antimicrobial materials remain serious challenges. In this study, a nanocomposite drug (TiO2/curcumin/hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrin, TiO2/Cur/HPCD) was constructed and combined with konjac glucomannan to form composite films (TiO2/Cur/HPCD films, KTCHD films). The stabilities of TiO2 and Cur were improved in the presence of HPCD. The particle size of TiO2/Cur/HPCD was approximately 33.9 nm, and the addition of TiO2/Cur/HPCD enhanced the mechanical properties of the films. Furthermore, TiO2/Cur/HPCD and KTCHD films exhibited good biocompatibility and PDT antibacterial effects. The antibacterial rate of TiO2/Cur/HPCD was 74.46 % against MRSA at 500 μg/mL and 99.998 % against E. coli at 400 μg/mL, while it was adsorbed on the surface of bacteria to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. In addition, studies in mice confirmed that TiO2/Cur/HPCD and KTCHD films can treat bacterial infections and promote wound healing, with a highest wound healing rate of 84.6 % in the KTCHD-10 films + Light group on day 12. Overall, TiO2/Cur/HPCD is a promising nano-antibacterial agent and KTCHD films have the potential to be employed as antibacterial and environment-friendly trauma dressings.

Abstract
Tumor metastasis is an intricate multistep process regulated via various proteins and enzymes modified and secreted by swollen Golgi apparatus in tumor cells. Thus, Golgi complex is considered as an important target for the remedy of metastasis. Currently, Golgi targeting technologies are mostly employed in Golgi-specific fluorescent probes for diagnosis, but their applications in therapy are rarely reported. Herein, we proposed a prodrug (INR) that can target and destroy the Golgi apparatus, which consisted of indomethacin (IMC) as the Golgi targeting moiety and retinoic acid (RA), a Golgi disrupting agent. The linker between IMC and RA was designed as a hypoxia-responsive nitroaromatic structure, which ensured the release of the prototype drugs in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, INR could be assembled with pirarubicin (THP), an anthracycline, to form a carrier-free nanoparticle (NP) by emulsion-solvent evaporation method. A small amount of mPEG2000-DSPE was added to shield the positive charges and improve the stability of the nanoparticle to obtain PEG-modified nanoparticle (PNP). It was proved that INR released the prototype drugs in tumor cells and hypoxia promoted the release. The Golgi destructive effect of RA in INR was amplified owing to the Golgi targeting ability of IMC, and IMC also inhibited the protumor COX-2/PGE2 signaling. Finally, PNP exhibited excellent curative efficacy on 4T1 primary tumor and its pulmonary and hepatic metastasis. The small molecular therapeutic prodrug targeting Golgi apparatus could be adapted to multifarious drug delivery systems and disease models, which expanded the application of Golgi targeting tactics in disease treatment.

Abstract
The metabolism of cancer has been an interesting hallmark and metabolic reprogramming, especially the change from oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria to glucose metabolism known as glycolysis occurs in cancer. The molecular profile of glycolysis, related molecular pathways and enzymes involved in this mechanism such as hexokinase have been fully understood. The glycolysis inhibition can significantly decrease tumorigenesis. On the other hand, circRNAs are new emerging non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecules with potential biological functions and aberrant expression in cancer cells which have received high attention in recent years. CircRNAs have a unique covalently closed loop structure which makes them highly stable and reliable biomarkers in cancer. CircRNAs are regulators of molecular mechanisms including glycolysis. The enzymes involved in the glycolysis mechanism such as hexokinase are regulated by circRNAs to modulate tumor progression. Induction of glycolysis by circRNAs can significantly increase proliferation rate of cancer cells given access to energy and enhance metastasis. CircRNAs regulating glycolysis can influence drug resistance in cancers because of theirimpact on malignancy of tumor cells upon glycolysis induction. TRIM44, CDCA3, SKA2 and ROCK1 are among the downstream targets of circRNAs in regulating glycolysis in cancer. Additionally, microRNAs are key regulators of glycolysis mechanism in cancer cells and can affect related molecular pathways and enzymes. CircRNAs sponge miRNAs to regulate glycolysis as a main upstream mediator. Moreover, nanoparticles have been emerged as new tools in tumorigenesis suppression and in addition to drug and gene delivery, then mediate cancer immunotherapy and can be used for vaccine development. The nanoparticles can delivery circRNAs in cancer therapy and they are promising candidates in regulation of glycolysis, its suppression and inhibition of related pathways such as HIF-1α. The stimuli-responsive nanoparticles and ligand-functionalized ones have been developed for selective targeting of glycolysis and cancer cells, and mediating carcinogenesis inhibition.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is featured by activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). The Golgi apparatus in HSCs plays a vital role in synthesis and secretion of ECM proteins, while its targeted disruption in activated HSCs could be considered as a promising approach for liver fibrosis treatment. Here, we developed a multitask nanoparticle CREKA-CS-RA (CCR) to specifically target the Golgi apparatus of activated HSCs, based on CREKA (a specific ligand of fibronectin) and chondroitin sulfate (CS, a major ligand of CD44), in which retinoic acid (a Golgi apparatus-disturbing agent) chemically conjugated and vismodegib (a hedgehog inhibitor) encapsulated. Our results showed that CCR nanoparticles specifically targeted activated HSCs and preferentially accumulated in the Golgi apparatus. Systemic administration of CCR nanoparticles exhibited significantly accumulation in CCl4-induced fibrotic liver, which was attributed to specific recognition with fibronectin and CD44 on activated HSCs. CCR nanoparticles loaded with vismodegib not only disrupted Golgi apparatus structure and function but also inhibited the hedgehog signaling pathway, thus markedly suppressing HSC activation and ECM secretion in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, vismodegib-loaded CCR nanoparticles effectively inhibited the fibrogenic phenotype in CCl4-induced liver fibrosis mice without causing obvious toxicity. Collectively, these findings indicate that this multifunctional nanoparticle system can effectively deliver therapeutic agents to the Golgi apparatus of activated HSCs, thus has potential treatment of liver fibrosis with minimal side effects.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies have made significant progress in cancer treatment. However, tumor adjuvant therapy still faces challenges due to the intrinsic heterogeneity of cancer, genomic instability, and the formation of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Functional materials possess unique biological properties such as long circulation times, tumor-specific targeting, and immunomodulation. The combination of functional materials with natural substances and nanotechnology has led to the development of smart biomaterials with multiple functions, high biocompatibilities, and negligible immunogenicities, which can be used for precise cancer treatment. Recently, subcellular structure-targeting functional materials have received particular attention in various biomedical applications including the diagnosis, sensing, and imaging of tumors and drug delivery. Subcellular organelle-targeting materials can precisely accumulate therapeutic agents in organelles, considerably reduce the threshold dosages of therapeutic agents, and minimize drug-related side effects. This review provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of the research progress in subcellular organelle-targeted cancer therapy based on functional nanomaterials. Moreover, it explains the challenges and prospects of subcellular organelle-targeting functional materials in precision oncology. The review will serve as an excellent cutting-edge guide for researchers in the field of subcellular organelle-targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) consists of a complex combination of proteins, proteoglycans, and other biomolecules. ECM-based materials have been demonstrated to have high biocompatibility and bioactivity, which may be harnessed for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. Herein, nanoparticles incorporating ECM-based materials and their applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering are reviewed. Proteins such as gelatin, collagen, and fibrin as well as glycosaminoglycans including hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and heparin have been employed for cancer therapeutic delivery, gene delivery, and wound healing and regenerative medicine. Strategies for modifying and functionalizing these materials with synthetic and natural polymers or to enable stimuli-responsive degradation and drug release have increased the efficacy of these materials and nano-systems. The incorporation and modification of ECM-based materials may be used to drive drug targeting and increase tissue-specific cell differentiation more effectively.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus modifies and transports secretory and membrane proteins. In some instances, the production of secretory and membrane proteins exceeds the capacity of the Golgi apparatus, including vesicle trafficking and the post-translational modification of macromolecules. These proteins are not modified or delivered appropriately due to insufficiency in the Golgi function. These conditions disturb Golgi homeostasis and induce a cellular condition known as Golgi stress, causing cells to activate the 'Golgi stress response,' which is a homeostatic process to increase the capacity of the Golgi based on cellular requirements. Since the Golgi functions are diverse, several response pathways involving TFE3, HSP47, CREB3, proteoglycan, mucin, MAPK/ETS, and PERK regulate the capacity of each Golgi function separately. Understanding the Golgi stress response is crucial for revealing the mechanisms underlying Golgi dynamics and its effect on human health because many signaling molecules are related to diseases, ranging from viral infections to fatal neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, it is valuable to summarize and investigate the mechanisms underlying Golgi stress response in disease pathogenesis, as they may contribute to developing novel therapeutic strategies. In this review, we investigate the perturbations and stress signaling of the Golgi, as well as the therapeutic potentials of new strategies for treating Golgi stress-associated diseases.

Abstract
Tumor development and metastasis are closely related to the tumor microenvironment (TME). Recently, several studies indicate that modulating TME can enhance cancer immunotherapy. Among various approaches to modulating TME, nanoparticles (NPs) with unique inherent advantages and smart modified characteristics are promising candidates in delivering drugs to cancer cells, amplifying the therapeutic effects, and leading to a cascade of immune responses. In this review, several smart NP-based platforms are briefly introduced, such as responsive NPs, targeting NPs, and the composition of TME, including dendritic cells, macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and regulatory T cells. Moreover, the recent applications of smart NP-based platforms in regulating TME and cancer immunotherapy are briefly introduced. Last, the advantages and disadvantages of these smart NP-based platforms in potential clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
Recurrence and metastasis are the main reasons for failure in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Phototherapy, one of the most well-known potent cancer treatment models is highlighted by ablating primitive tumors with immunogenic cell death (ICD) and is associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress to elicit long-lasting anti-tumor immunity. However, the provoked inflammatory response after phototherapy will stimulate angiogenesis, which provides nutrition for tumor recurrence. Here, an ER-targeted nanoplatform was constructed based on hollow mesoporous Cu2-XS (HMCu2-XS) nanoparticles to suppress recurrence and metastasis of TNBC by combining photo-ablation and microenvironment remodeling. Profiting from the metal ion coordination and large hollow space, HMCu2-XS can be easily modified with p-toluenesulfonamide for ER-targeting and quantitatively loaded celecoxib (CXB) as a vascular inhibitor, thus obtaining ER-HMCu2-XS/CXB. ER-HMCu2-XS showed great photothermal and photodynamic efficiency for ablating 4T1 tumors and inducing ICD under NIR-II laser irradiation. Compared with non-ER-targeted nanosystems, the ER-targeted nanosystem elicited stronger ICDs and recruited more immune cells. Moreover, the thermal-responsively released CXB successfully inhibited angiogenesis after photothermal therapy. The data showed that the ER-HMCu2-XS/CXB mediated the triplicate therapeutic effect of photo-ablation, immune response activation, and vascular suppression effectively, preventing the recurrence and metastasis of TNBC. In conclusion, this work provides a synergistic strategy to enhance therapeutic outcomes in TNBC.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based nanocarriers (PBNs) are the focus of extensive investigation because of their biocompatibility, low cost, wide availability, and chemical versatility, which allow a wide range of anticancer agents to be loaded within the nanocarriers. Similar to other nanocarriers, most PBNs are designed to extravasate out of tumor vessels, depending on the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. However, the EPR effect is compromised in some tumors due to the heterogeneity of tumor structures. Transvascular transport efficacy is decreased by complex blood vessels and condensed tumor stroma. The limited extravasation impedes efficient drug delivery into tumor parenchyma, and thus affects the subsequent tumor accumulation, which hinders the therapeutic effect of PBNs. Therefore, overcoming the biological barriers that restrict extravasation from tumor vessels is of great importance in PBN design. Many strategies have been developed to enhance the EPR effect that involve nanocarrier property regulation and tumor structure remodeling. Moreover, some researchers have proposed active transcytosis pathways that are complementary to the paracellular EPR effect to increase the transvascular extravasation efficiency of PBNs. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the design of PBNs with enhanced transvascular transport to enable optimization of PBNs in the extravasation of the drug delivery process. We also discuss the obstacles and challenges that need to be addressed to clarify the transendothemial mechanism of PBNs and the potential interactions between extravasation and other drug delivery steps.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy occupies an important position in cancer therapy because of its minimal invasiveness and high spatiotemporal precision, and photodynamic/gene combined therapy is a promising strategy for additive therapeutic effects. However, the asynchronism and heterogeneity between traditional chemical photosensitizers and nucleic acid would restrict the feasibility of this strategy. KillerRed protein, as an endogenous photosensitizer, could be directly expressed and take effect in situ by transfecting KillerRed reporter genes into cells. Herein, a simple and easily prepared sodium alginate (SA)-doping cationic nanoparticle SA@GP/DNA was developed for dual gene delivery. The nanoparticles could be formed through electrostatic interaction among sodium alginate, polycation, and plasmid DNA. The title complex SA@GP/DNA showed good biocompatibility and gene transfection efficiency. Mechanism studies revealed that SA doping could facilitate the cellular uptake and DNA release. Furthermore, SA@GP/DNA was applied to the codelivery of p53 and KillerRed reporter genes for the synergistic effect combining p53-mediated apoptosis therapy and KillerRed-mediated photodynamic therapy. The ROS generation, tumor cell growth inhibition, and apoptosis assays proved that the dual-gene transfection could mediate the better effect compared with single therapy. This rationally designed dual gene codelivery nanoparticle provides an effective and promising platform for genetically bimodal therapy.

Abstract
Synovial fibroblasts in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) joints mediate synovial hyperplasia, progressive joint destruction, and the potential spread of disease between joints by producing multiple pathogenic proteins. Here, we deliver all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to selectively down-regulate these pathogenic factors, with a Golgi-targeting platelet microparticle-mimetic nanoplatform (termed Gol-PMMNP) which comprises a nanoparticle core and a platelet microparticle membrane coating labeled with a Golgi apparatus-targeting peptide. Gol-PMMNPs are shown to target synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients via integrin α2β1-mediated endocytosis and accumulate in the Golgi apparatus by retrograde transport. ATRA-loaded Gol-PMMNPs (ATRA-Gol-PMMNPs) cause structural disruption of the Golgi apparatus, leading to an efficient reduction of pathogenic protein secretion in RA synovial fibroblasts. In rats with collagen-induced arthritis, Gol-PMMNPs display an arthritic joint-specific distribution, and ATRA-Gol-PMMNPs effectively reduce concentrations of pathogenic factors therein, including inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and matrix-degrading enzymes within these joints. Additionally, ATRA-Gol-PMMNP treatment results in inflammatory remission and decreased bone erosion in both arthritic and proximal joints. Furthermore, ATRA-Gol-PMMNPs induce negligible toxicity to major organs. Taken together, ATRA-Gol-PMMNPs inhibit the progression of RA through reducing the production of multiple pathogenic mediators by synovial fibroblasts.
