Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a reactive oxygen species produced by cellular metabolism can be used in antitumor therapy. However, the concentration of intracellular H2O2 limits its application. Some materials could enhance the concentration of intracellular H2O2 to strengthen antitumor therapy. In this review, the recent advances in H2O2-supplying materials in terms of promoting intracellular H2O2 production and exogenous H2O2 supply are summarized. Then the mechanism of H2O2-supplying materials for tumor therapy is discussed from three aspects: reconstruction of the tumor hypoxia microenvironment, enhancement of oxidative stress, and the intrinsic anti-tumor ability of H2O2-supplying materials. In addition, the application of H2O2-supplying materials for tumor therapy is discussed. Finally, the future of H2O2-supplying materials is presented. This review aims to provide a novel idea for the application of H2O2-supplying materials in tumor therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been growing interest in developing innovative materials and therapeutic strategies to enhance wound healing outcomes, especially for chronic wounds and antimicrobial resistance. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a promising class of materials for next-generation wound healing and dressings. Their high surface area, pore structures, stimuli-responsiveness, antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, and potential for combination therapies make them suitable for complex wound care challenges. MOF-based composites promote cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and matrix synthesis, acting as carriers for bioactive molecules and promoting tissue regeneration. They also have stimuli-responsivity, enabling photothermal therapies for skin cancer and infections. Herein, a critical analysis of the current state of research on MOFs and MOF-based composites for wound healing and dressings is provided, offering valuable insights into the potential applications, challenges, and future directions in this field. This literature review has targeted the multifunctionality nature of MOFs in wound-disease therapy and healing from different aspects and discussed the most recent advancements made in the field. In this context, the potential reader will find how the MOFs contributed to this field to yield more effective, functional, and innovative dressings and how they lead to the next generation of biomaterials for skin therapy and regeneration.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:25812-25821. [PMID: 38911804 PMCID: PMC11191123 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c00069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
Carbonized polydopamine (cPDA) exhibits a nitrogenous graphite-like structure with n-type semiconductor property. However, the low electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of cPDA cannot meet the needs of flexible thermoelectric devices. In this study, a series of metal ions were coordinated with cPDA to enhance n-type thermoelectric properties. At 300 K, all metal-coordination cPDA (metal-cPDA) samples obtain lower thermal conductivity compared to cPDA. Mn-cPDA exhibits the greatest Seebeck coefficient of -25.94 μV K-1, which is almost six times higher than cPDA. Fe-cPDA shows the best electrical conductivity of 2.45 × 105 S m-1. An optimal power factor (PF) value of 11.93 μW m-1 K-2 is achieved in Ca-cPDA with the enhanced electrical conductivity of 9.5 × 104 S m-1 and Seebeck coefficient of -11.24 μV K-1. Using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we revealed the structural characterization of metal-cPDA. Our results indictate that the different metal ions (Mn2+, Zn2+, Mg2+, Al3+, Ca2+, and Fe3+) exert varying influences on the growth of graphite-like structure within metal-cPDA, which lead to the evolution of electrical conductivity. We observe that the carrier density and carrier mobility depend on both the degree of graphitization and the metal-ion coordination, which work together on electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient. These findings and understanding of the thermoelectric properties of PDA-based materials will help to realize high-performance n-type thermoelectric materials for flexible electronic device applications.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) and Cu-based nanomaterials have received tremendous attention in recent years because of their unique physicochemical properties and good biocompatibility in the treatment of various diseases, especially cancer. To date, researchers have designed and fabricated a variety of integrated Cu-based nanocomplexes with distinctive nanostructures and applied them in cancer therapy, mainly including chemotherapy, radiotherapy (RT), photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), cuproptosis-mediated therapy, etc. Due to the limited effect of a single treatment method, the development of composite diagnostic nanosystems that integrate chemotherapy, PTT, CDT, PDT, and other treatments is of great significance and offers great potential for the development of the next generation of anticancer nanomedicines. In view of the rapid development of Cu-based nanocomplexes in the field of cancer therapy, this review focuses on the current state of research on Cu-based nanomaterials, followed by a discussion of Cu-based nanocomplexes for combined cancer therapy. Moreover, the current challenges and future prospects of Cu-based nanocomplexes in clinical translation are proposed to provide some insights into the design of integrated Cu-based nanotherapeutic platforms.

Abstract
Burns represent a prevalent global health concern and are particularly susceptible to bacterial infections. Severe infections may lead to serious complications, posing a life-threatening risk. Near-infrared (NIR)-assisted photothermal antibacterial combined with antioxidant hydrogel has shown significant potential in the healing of infected wounds. However, existing photothermal agents are typically metal-based, complicated to synthesize, or pose biosafety hazards. In this study, we utilized plant-derived blackcurrant extract (B) as a natural source for both photothermal and antioxidant properties. By incorporating B into a G-O hydrogel crosslinked through Schiff base reaction between gelatin (G) and oxidized pullulan (O), the resulting G-O-B hydrogel exhibited good injectability and biocompatibility along with robust photothermal and antioxidant activities. Upon NIR irradiation, the controlled temperature (around 45-50 °C) generated by the G-O-B hydrogel resulted in rapid (10 min) and efficient killing of Staphylococcus aureus (99 %), Escherichia coli (98 %), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (82 %). Furthermore, the G-O-B0.5 hydrogel containing 0.5 % blackcurrant extract promoted collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and accelerated burn wound closure conclusively, demonstrating that this well-designed and extract-contained hydrogel dressing holds immense potential for enhancing the healing process of bacterial-infected burn wounds.

Abstract
In current clinical practice, the presence of biofilms poses a significant challenge in the effective elimination of bacterial infections because of the physical and chemical barriers formed by biofilms, which offer persistent protection to bacteria. Here, we developed hollow mesoporous polydopamine (hMP) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with luteolin (Lu) as a quorum sensing inhibitor, which were further coated with hyaluronic acid (HA) shells to create hMP-Lu@HA NPs. We observed that upon reaching the infection site, the HA shells underwent initial degradation by the hyaluronidase enzyme present in the bacterial infection's microenvironment to expose the hMP-Lu NPs. Subsequently, Lu was released in response to the acidic conditions characteristic of bacterial infections, which effectively hindered and dispersed the biofilm. Moreover, when subjected to near-infrared irradiation, the robust photothermal conversion effect of hMP NPs accelerated the release of Lu and disrupted the integrity of the biofilms by localized heating. This dual action enhanced the eradication of the biofilm infection. Importantly, hMP-Lu@HA NPs also promoted tissue regeneration and healing at the implantation site, concurrently addressing biofilm infection. Taken together, this nanosystem, combined with mild-temperature photothermal therapy and quorum sensing inhibition strategy, holds significant potential for applications in the treatment of implantation-associated infections.

Abstract
Due to the relatively low efficiency of magnetic hyperthermia and photothermal conversion, it is rather challenging for magneto-photothermal nanoagents to be used as an effective treatment during tumor hyperthermal therapy. The advancement of magnetic nanoparticles exhibiting a vortex-domain structure holds great promise as a viable strategy to enhance the application performance of conventional magnetic nanoparticles while retaining their inherent biocompatibility. Here, we report the development of Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoflowers with ellipsoidal magnetic cores, and show them as effective nanoagents for magneto-photothermal synergistic therapy. Comparative studies were conducted on the heating performance of anisometric Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 (MZF) nanoparticles, including nanocubes (MZF-C), hollow spheres (MZF-HS), nanoflowers consisting of ellipsoidal magnetic cores (MZF-NFE), and nanoflowers consisting of needle-like magnetic cores (MZF-NFN). MZF-NFE exhibits an intrinsic loss parameter (ILP) of up to 15.3 N h m2 kg-1, which is better than that of commercial equivalents. Micromagnetic simulations reveal the magnetization configurations and reversal characteristics of the various MZF shapes. Additionally, all nanostructures displayed a considerable photothermal conversion efficiency rate of more than 18%. Our results demonstrated that by combining the dual exposure of MHT and PTT for hyperthermia treatments induced by MZF-NFE, BT549, MCF-7, and 4T1 cell viability can be significantly decreased by ∼95.7% in vitro.

Abstract
Copper is a necessary micronutrient for maintaining the well-being of the human body. The biological activity of organic ligands, especially their anticancer activity, is often enhanced when they coordinate with copper(I) and (II) ions. Copper and its compounds are capable of inducing tumor cell death through various mechanisms of action, including activation of apoptosis signaling pathways by reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibition of angiogenesis, induction of cuproptosis, and paraptosis. Some of the copper complexes are currently being evaluated in clinical trials for their ability to map tumor hypoxia in various cancers, including locally advanced rectal cancer and bulky tumors. Several studies have shown that copper nanoparticles can be used as effective agents in chemodynamic therapy, phototherapy, hyperthermia, and immunotherapy. Despite the promising anticancer activity of copper-based compounds, their use in clinical trials is subject to certain limitations. Elevated copper concentrations may promote tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis by affecting cellular processes.

Abstract
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO), as one of the most common late complications after intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in cataract surgery, seriously affects patients' postoperative vision and surgical satisfaction, and can only be treated by laser incision of the posterior capsule. Although drug eluting coating modification have been proved to inhibit PCO effectively, the complicated coating methods and the potential toxicity of the antiproliferative drugs hinders its actual application. In this study, an indocyanine green (ICG) loaded polydopamine (PDA) coating modified IOL (IP-IOL) was designed to prevented PCO. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that IP-IOL can effectively eliminate lens epithelial cells and significantly reduce the degree of PCO. At the same time, it still has good imaging quality and optical properties. Furthermore, both the near-infrared irradiation and ICG loaded PDA coating modified IOLs have proved to possess high biological safety to eyes. Thus, with easy preparation and safer near-infrared irradiated photothermal/photodynamic synchronous properties, such ICG loaded PDA coating provides an effective yet easier and safer PCO prevention after IOL implantation.

Abstract
Copper-based nanomaterials have been employed as therapeutic agents for cancer therapy and diagnosis. Nevertheless, persistent challenges, such as cellular toxicity, non-uniform sizes, and low photothermal efficiency, often constrain their applications. In this study, we present Cu2+-loaded silica nanoparticles fabricated through the chelation of Cu2+ ions by silanol groups. The integration of Cu2+ ions into uniformly sized silica nanoparticles imparts a photothermal therapy effect. Additionally, the amine functionalization of the silica coating facilitates the chemical conjugation of tumor-specific fluorescence probes. These probes are strategically designed to remain in an 'off' state through the Förster resonance energy transfer mechanism until exposed to cysteine enzymes in cancer cells, inducing the recovery of their fluorescence. Consequently, our Cu2+-loaded silica nanoparticles demonstrate an efficient photothermal therapy effect and selectively enable cancer imaging.

Abstract
Four copper(II)-plumbagin and -bipyridine complexes (Cu1-Cu4) were synthesized as chemodynamic therapy agents with enhanced antitumor activity. As lipophilic and positively charged compounds, Cu1-Cu4 were preferentially accumulated in mitochondria and activated the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Mechanistic studies showed that Cu1-Cu4 reacted with GSH to reduce Cu2+ ions to Cu+ ions, catalyzed the formation of toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through a Fenton-like reaction, induced mitochondrial dysfunction, and activated caspase-9/3, which eventually led to apoptosis. Cu1-Cu4 arrested HeLa cells in the S phase and eventually killed cancer cells. Cu2 showed a favorable pharmacokinetic profile in mice. Moreover, Cu2 effectively inhibited the growth of HeLa xenografts in nude mice and showed low toxicity in vivo.

Abstract
Cancer is currently one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Due to the inevitable shortcomings of conventional treatments, photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted great attention as an emerging and non-invasive cancer treatment method. Photothermal agents (PTAs) is a necessary component of PTT to play its role. It accumulates at the tumor site through appropriate methods and converts the absorbed light energy into heat energy effectively under near-infrared light irradiation, thus increasing the temperature of the tumor area and facilitating ablation of the tumor cells. Compared to inorganic photothermal agents, which have limitations such as non-degradability and potential long-term toxicity in vivo, organic photothermal agents exhibit excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, thus showing promising prospects for the application of PTT in cancer treatment. And these organic photothermal agents can also be engineered into nanoparticles to improve their water solubility, extend their circulation time in vivo, and specifically target tumors. Moreover, further combination of PTT with other treatment methods can effectively enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment and alleviate the side effects associated with single treatments. This article briefly introduces several common types of organic photothermal agents and their nanoparticles, and reviews the applications of PTT based on organic photothermal agents in combination with chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, and multimodal combination therapy for tumor treatment, which expands the ideas and methods in the field of tumor treatment.

Abstract
Diabetic chronic wounds pose significant clinical challenges due to their characteristic features of impaired extracellular matrix (ECM) function, diminished angiogenesis, chronic inflammation, and increased susceptibility to infection. To tackle these challenges and provide a comprehensive therapeutic approach for diabetic wounds, the first coaxial electrospun nanocomposite membrane is developed that incorporates multifunctional copper peroxide nanoparticles (n-CuO2 ). The membrane's nanofiber possesses a unique "core/sheath" structure consisting of n-CuO2 +PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone)/PCL (Polycaprolactone) composite sheath and a PCL core. When exposed to the wound's moist environment, PVP within the sheath gradually disintegrates, releasing the embedded n-CuO2 . Under a weakly acidic microenvironment (typically diabetic and infected wounds), n-CuO2 decomposes to release H2 O2 and Cu2+ ions and subsequently produce ·OH through chemodynamic reactions. This enables the anti-bacterial activity mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), suppressing the inflammation while enhancing angiogenesis. At the same time, the dissolution of PVP unveils unique nano-grooved surface patterns on the nanofibers, providing desirable cell-guiding function required for accelerated skin regeneration. Through meticulous material selection and design, this study pioneers the development of functional nanocomposites for multi-modal wound therapy, which holds great promise in guiding the path to healing for diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Traditional hydrogels, as wound dressings, usually exhibit poor mechanical strength and slow drug release performance in clinical biomedical applications. Although various strategies have been investigated to address the above issues, it remains a challenge to develop a simple method for preparing hydrogels with both toughness and controlled drug release performance. In this study, a tannic acid-reinforced poly (sulfobetaine methacrylate) (TAPS) hydrogel was fabricated via free radical polymerization, and the TAPS hydrogel was subjected to a simple electrophoresis process to obtain the hydrogels with a gradient distribution of copper ions. These gradient hydrogels showed tunable mechanical properties by changing the electrophoresis time. When the electrophoresis time reached 15 min, the hydrogel had a tensile strength of 368.14 kPa, a tensile modulus of 16.17 kPa, and a compressive strength of 42.77 MPa. It could be loaded at 50% compressive strain and then unloaded for up to 70 cycles and maintained a constant compressive stress of 1.50 MPa. The controlled release of copper from different sides of the gradient hydrogels was observed. After 6 h of incubation, the hydrogel exhibited a strong bactericidal effect on Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli, with low toxicity to NIH/3T3 fibroblasts. The high toughness, controlled release of copper, and enhanced antimicrobial properties of the gradient hydrogels make them excellent candidates for wound dressings in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Infected bone defects (IBDs) exhibit impaired healing due to excessive inflammation triggered by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) from bacteria. As a vital factor in orchestrating immune responses, mitochondrial homeostasis maintenance is central to inflammation blockade. This research developed a chameleon-like nanoplatform by covering hydroxyapatite nanoparticles with a cerium ion coordinated tannic acid supramolecular network (HA@Ce-TA), which adaptively functions to regulate mitochondrial homeostasis based on intra- and extracellular environments. Extracellularly, acidic conditions activate HA@Ce-TA's peroxidase/oxidase-mimicking activity to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), and external near-infrared (NIR) irradiation excites nanoscale Ce-TA to produce hyperthermia, which is found and explained by chemical computation. ROS production with photothermal therapy can eliminate bacteria effectively and reduce mitochondrial stress. Intracellularly, HA@Ce-TA remodels mitochondrial dynamics by upregulating mitochondrial fusion genes and eliminates excessive ROS by mimicking superoxidase/catalase. Consequently, this comprehensive modulation of mitochondrial homeostasis inhibits inflammasome overactivation. In vitro and in vivo studies showed HA@Ce-TA can modulate the mitochondria-centered inflammatory cascade to enhance IBD treatment, highlighting the potential of engineering nanotherapeutics to recalibrate mitochondrial homeostasis as an infected disease-modifying intervention.

Abstract
Background Though nanomedicine-based photothermal therapy (PTT) has demonstrated promising prospect in tumor treatment due to its high therapeutic efficiency and controllable range, the overexpression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) during PTT can lead to intracellular thermal resistance and reduce its effectiveness. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), followed by the application of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), can eliminate HSPs and overcome thermal resistance. However, the tumor microenvironment, including hypoxia and glutathione (GSH) overexpression, impedes the production of ROS and therapeutic efficacy of CDT and PDT. Therefore, we proposed a multifunctional nanoplatform (HMPB@TCPP-Cu) driving PTT/ PDT/ CDT synergistic therapy for tumor treatment via modulating ROS and HSPs. Methods and Results In this work, a novel nanoplatform (HMPB@TCPP-Cu) composed of O2/PTT supplier HMPB (hollow mesoporous Prussian blue) and the loaded PDT/CDT agent (TCPP-Cu2+) was prepared. HMPB acts as an photothermal converter, effectively raising the tumor temperature and inducing apoptosis. HMPB is also a potent catalase-like nanozyme, which can catalyze hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and reduce tumor hypoxia, thus elevating the efficiency of ROS production and the effectiveness of PDT with the wing of sonosensitizer-TCPP. The intracellular glutathione(GSH) was depleted by Cu2+ and •OH was generated along with the Cu2+/Cu+ converting and Cu+-mediated Fenton-like reaction. Subsequently, the increased levels of ROS effectively eliminate intratumoral thermal resistance. The HMPB@TCPP-Cu has achieved synergistic PTT/PDT/CDT for hepatoblastoma treatment and significant inhibition of tumor growth was detected both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion This study presents a multifunctional nanoplatform that combines photothermal/ chemodynamic/ photodynamic therapy for efficient hepatoblastoma treatment via modulating ROS and HSPs. Collectively, this study provides an appealing strategy in the cleavage of thermal resistance and a novel assistance and enhancement on thermal-related therapies.

Abstract
Tumor recurrence and chronic bacterial infection constitute two major criteria in postsurgical intervention for malignant melanoma. One plausible strategy is the equipment of consolidation therapy after surgery, which relies on adjuvants to eliminate the residual tumor cells and inhibit bacterial growth. Until now, a number of proof-of-concept hybrid nanoadjuvants have been proposed to combat tumor recurrence and postsurgical bacterial infection, which may suffer from the potential bio-unsafety or involve complex design and synthesis. The batch-to-batch inconsistencies in drug composition further delay the clinical trials. To circumvent these issues, herein we develop a programmable strategy to generate lipopeptide nanotherapeutics with identical constitution for tandem intervention of postsurgical bacterial infection and cancer recurrence of melanoma. Increasing the number of hydrophobic linoleic acid within lipopeptides has been found to be a simple and practical strategy to improve the therapeutic outcomes for both tumor cells and bacteria. Self-assembled lipopeptide nanotherapeutics with two linoleic acid molecules possesses excellent antitumor activity and antimicrobial function toward both susceptible strains and drug-resistant bacteria. Arising from the incorporation of unsaturated linoleic acid, the unavoidable hemolysis of cationic peptide drugs was effectively alleviated. In vivo therapeutic abilities of postsurgical infection and tumor recurrence were investigated in BALB/c nude mice bearing a B16-F10 tumor model, with an incomplete surgical resection and in situ infection by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Self-assembled lipopeptide nanotherapeutics could effectively inhibit cancer cell growth and bacterial infection, as well as promote wound healing. The easily scalable large-scale production, broad-spectrum antitumor and antibacterial bioactivities as well as fixed component endows lipopeptide nanotherapeutics as promising adjuvants for clinically postsurgical therapy of melanoma.

Abstract
Due to the mortality associated with thrombosis and its high recurrence rate, there is a need to investigate antithrombotic approaches. Noninvasive site-specific thrombolysis is a current approach being used; however, its usage is characterized by the following limitations: low targeting efficiency, poor ability to penetrate clots, rapid half-life, lack of vascular restoration mechanisms, and risk of thrombus recurrence that is comparable to that of traditional pharmacological thrombolysis agents. Therefore, it is vital to develop an alternative technique that can overcome the aforementioned limitations. To this end, a cotton-ball-shaped platelet (PLT)-mimetic self-assembly framework engineered with a phototherapeutic poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) platform has been developed. This platform is capable of delivering a synthetic peptide derived from hirudin P6 (P6) to thrombus lesions, forming P6@PEDOT@PLT nanomotors for noninvasive site-specific thrombolysis, effective anticoagulation, and vascular restoration. Regulated by P-selectin mediation, the P6@PEDOT@PLT nanomotors target the thrombus site and subsequently rupture under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, achieving desirable sequential drug delivery. Furthermore, the movement ability of the P6@PEDOT@PLT nanomotors under NIR irradiation enables effective penetration deep into thrombus lesions, enhancing bioavailability. Biodistribution analyses have shown that the administered P6@PEDOT@PLT nanomotors exhibit extended circulation time and metabolic capabilities. In addition, the photothermal therapy/photoelectric therapy combination can significantly augment the effectiveness (ca. 72%) of thrombolysis. Consequently, the precisely delivered drug and the resultant phototherapeutic-driven heat-shock protein, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and inhibitory plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activities can restore vessels and effectively prevent rethrombosis. The described biomimetic P6@PEDOT@PLT nanomotors represent a promising option for improving the efficacy of antithrombotic therapy in thrombus-related illnesses.
