Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunotherapy is a powerful strategy for treating cancer and can be used to inhibit the post-surgical relapse of tumors. METHODS To achieve this, a Cell@hydrogel was developed as a template using a mixture of CT26 tumor cells and Pluronic® F-127/gelatin. RESULTS The proposed mixture has a solution-to-gelation functionality and vice versa. The morphology of the Cell@hydrogel was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. For photodynamic immunotherapy, the Cell@hydrogel was functionalized with Cy7 (Cy7-Cell@hydrogel) to quantify reactive oxygen species in CT26 tumor cells. Gel electrophoresis and membrane integrity tests were performed to determine the efficiency of the Cy7-Cell@hydrogel following photodynamic therapy. CONCLUSIONS This protocol provides an alternative approach that mechanistically inhibits the post-surgical relapse of solid tumors based on immunotherapy.

Abstract
Microwave ablation (MWA) is recognized as a novel treatment modality that can kill tumor cells by heating the ions and polar molecules in these cells through high-speed rotation and friction. However, the size and location of the tumor affect the effective ablation range of microwave hyperthermia, resulting in residual tumor tissue and a high recurrence rate. Due to their tunable porous structure and high specific surface area, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can serve as microwave sensitizers, promoting microwave energy conversion owing to ion collisions in the porous structure of the MOFs. Moreover, iron-based compounds are known to possess peroxidase-like catalytic activity. Therefore, Fe-doped Cu bimetallic MOFs (FCMs) were prepared through a hydrothermal process. These FCM nanoparticles not only increased the efficiency of microwave-thermal energy conversion as microwave sensitizers but also promoted the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by consuming glutathione (GSH) and promoted the Fenton reaction to enhance microwave dynamic therapy (MDT). The in vitro and in vivo results showed that the combination of MWA and MDT treatment effectively destroyed tumor tissues via microwave irradiation without inducing significant side effects on normal tissues. This study provides a new approach for the combined application of MOFs and microwave ablation, demonstrating excellent potential for future applications.

Abstract
Ferroptosis offers a novel method for overcoming therapeutic resistance of cancers to conventional cancer treatment regimens. Its effective use as a cancer therapy requires a precisely targeted approach, which can be facilitated by using nanoparticles and nanomedicine, and their use to enhance ferroptosis is indeed a growing area of research. While a few review papers have been published on iron-dependent mechanism and inducers of ferroptosis cancer therapy that partly covers ferroptosis nanoparticles, there is a need for a comprehensive review focusing on the design of magnetic nanoparticles that can typically supply iron ions to promote ferroptosis and simultaneously enable targeted ferroptosis cancer nanomedicine. Furthermore, magnetic nanoparticles can locally induce ferroptosis and combinational ferroptosis with diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The use of remotely controllable magnetic nanocarriers can offer highly effective localized image-guided ferroptosis cancer nanomedicine. Here, recent developments in magnetically manipulable nanocarriers for ferroptosis cancer nanomedicine with medical imaging are summarized. This review also highlights the advantages of current state-of-the-art image-guided ferroptosis cancer nanomedicine. Finally, image guided combinational ferroptosis cancer therapy with conventional apoptosis-based therapy that enables synergistic tumor therapy is discussed for clinical translations.

Abstract
Microwave thermotherapy (MWT) has shown great potential in cancer treatment due to its deep tissue penetration and minimally invasive nature. However, the poor microwave absorption (MA) properties of the microwave thermal sensitizer in the medical frequency band significantly limit the thermal effect of MWT and then weaken the therapeutic efficacy. In this paper, a Ni-based multilayer heterointerface nanomissile of MOFs-Ni-Ru@COFs (MNRC) with improved MA performance in the desired frequency band via introducing magnetic loss and dielectric loss is developed for MWT-based treatment. The loading of the Ni nanoparticle in MNRC mediates the magnetic loss, introducing the MA in the medical frequency band. The heterointerface formed in the MNRC by nanoengineering induces significant interfacial polarization, increasing the dielectric loss and then enhancing the generated MA performance. Moreover, MNRC with the strong MA performance in the desired frequency range not only enhances the MW thermal effect of MWT but also facilitates the electron and energy transfer, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) at tumor sites to mediate microwave dynamic therapy (MDT). The strategy of strengthening the MA performance of the sensitizer in the medical frequency band to improve MWT-MDT provides a direction for expanding the clinical application of MWT in tumor treatment.

Abstract
The rational design of photosensitizers with rapid cellular uptake and dual-organelle targeting ability is essential for enhancing the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, achieving this goal is a great challenge. In this paper, a novel axial piperazine substituted (PIP) silicon phthalocyanine (PIP-SiPc) has been synthesized. The PIP substitution significantly improved the cellular uptake of PIP-SiPc in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, as demonstrated by two-photon fluorescence imaging combined with fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Additionally, PIP-SiPc was able to target both mitochondria and lysosomes simultaneously. Notably, PIP-SiPc exhibited remarkable singlet oxygen generation ability, leading to apoptosis in cancer cells upon irradiation, with an IC50 value of only 0.2 µM. These findings highlight the effectiveness of PIP-SiPc as a multifunctional photosensitizer for PDT.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Intraperitoneal metastasis is one of the major causes of the high mortality rate of ovarian cancer. Bufalin (BU) is an effective component of the traditional Chinese medicine Chansu that exerts antitumor effects, including metastasis inhibition. In our previous studies, we found that BU inhibited the migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells. However, the application of BU is limited due to its insolubility, toxicity and imprecise targeting. The aim of this study was to use vitamin E succinate (VES)-grafted chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO)/arginine-glycine-aspartic acid peptide (RGD)-conjugated d-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) mixed micelles (VeC/T-RGD MMs) to deliver BU to ovarian cancer cells to inhibit intraperitoneal metastasis. Moreover, the toxicity of BU was reduced by coating it with the mixed micelles to increase its biocompatibility for practical applications.
Results
The BU-loaded VeC/T-RGD MMs (BU@MMs) had an average diameter of 161 ± 1.4 nm, a zeta potential of 4.49 ± 1.54 mV and a loading efficiency of 2.54%. The results showed that these micelles inhibited cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, and reduced the migration and invasion of A2780 and SKOV3 cells. Further studies indicated that BU@MMs enhanced the levels of e-cadherin and decreased the expression levels of N-cadherin, vimentin and Snail in vitro. In addition, the mixed micelles effectively enhanced the anticancer effect and inhibited intraperitoneal metastasis in intraperitoneal metastatic models. The BU@MMs exhibited fewer toxic side effects than BU, indicating better biocompatibility and biosafety for in vivo applications.
Conclusions
Our studies show that BU@MMs are a potential multifunctional nano-drug delivery system that can effectively inhibit the intraperitoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising approach to cancer therapy. However, the relatively short tumor retention time of photosensitizers (PSs) makes it difficult to catch the optimal treatment time and restricts multiple PDT within a single injection. In this study, a tumor-specific phototheranostic nanomedicine (DPPa NP) is developed for photodynamic/chemo combination therapy with a prolonged PDT treatment window. DPPa NP is prepared via encapsulating a hydrophobic oxidized bovine serum albumin (BSA-SOH)-conjugatable PS DPPa with amphiphilic H2 O2 -activatable chlorambucil (CL) prodrug mPEG-TK-CL. The released CL under H2 O2 treatment can not only kill tumor cells but also upregulate reactive oxygen species levels within tumor cells, leading to the almost full release of cargoes. The released DPPa may conjugate with overexpressed BSA-SOH, which results in the recovery of the fluorescence signal and photodynamic effect. More importantly, such conjugation transfers DPPa from a small molecule PS into a macromolecular PS with a long tumor retention time and treatment window of PDT, which enables multiple PDT. This study thus provides an effective strategy to prolong the treatment window of PDT and enables tumor-specific fluorescence imaging-guided combination therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Melanoma is a highly metastatic skin cancer with limited response to current therapies in advanced patients. To overcome resistance, novel treatments based on photodynamic and photothermal therapies (PDT and PTT, respectively) have been developed to treat melanoma in preclinical murine models. Despite success inhibiting implanted tumors' growth, there has been limited evaluation of their long-term effectiveness in preventing metastasis, recurrence, or improving survival rates. METHODS Combined and multidrug therapies based on PDT and/or PTT to treat cutaneous malignant melanoma in the preclinical mouse model were reviewed from 2016 onwards. PubMed® was the database in which the search was performed using mesh search algorithms resulting in fifty-one studies that comply with strict inclusion rules of screening. RESULTS B16 melanoma-bearing C57BLACK6 mice model was the most used to evaluate immunotherapies, chemotherapies, and targeted therapies in combination with PDT and/or PTT. Combined therapies demonstrated a synergistic effect, resulting in intense antitumor activity. The most extensively studied protocol for developing metastatic models involved the intravenous administration of malignant cells, with some combined therapies being tested. Furthermore, the review presents the composition of the nanostructures utilized for delivering the drugs and light-responsive agents and the treatment plans for each combined approach. CONCLUSIONS The identified mechanisms to simulate metastatic melanoma models and the therapeutic combinations may aid in evaluating the systemic protection of combined PDT and PTT-based therapies, particularly in conducting short-term preclinical experiments. Such simulations could have relevance to clinical studies.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as an efficient strategy for tumor treatment. However, Insufficient amounts of inherent hypoxia and intrinsic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor microenvironment severely constrained PDT, as oxygen is the critical substrate for photosensitivity reaction. Here, a pH-responsive H2O2and O2self-supplying hybrid nanoparticle was designed. Through, the calcium peroxide (CaO2) as carriers loading a chemotherapeutic drug a photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl) porphyrin (TAPP) and doxorubicin (DOX), was covered with polyacrylic acid (PAA) to build up a feature material DOX-TAPP-CaO2@OA@PAA (denoted as DTCOP) through the reverse microemulsion method. In the acidic tumor microenvironment conditions exposing the water-sensitive CaO2nanocore to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and O2, the self-supplied O2alleviates hypoxia to enhance the PDT, and releasing DOX and TAPP. Synthetic characterization shows that the succeeded synthesized Nanocarriers could effectively carry DOX and TAPP to the tumor site and release O2at the low pH of TME. And the experimental results demonstrated that this interpose exogenous oxygen strategy is efficient at inhibition of tumor growth bothin vitroandin vivo. The nanocomposite exhibits excellent biocompatibility and the ability to inhibit tumor growth and has significant potential for the treatment of hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Interlayer interactions in two dimensional (2D) materials promote catalytic performance but often depend on the transport of inter rather than intralayer electrons. In this study, it is found that asymmetric metal-nanocluster-doped 2D g-C3 N4 greatly enhances catalytic performance by inducing microwave excitation of interlayer electron delocalization, resulting in a polarization of interlaminar charge transport for microwave disinfection and pneumonia therapy. Asymmetric Fe and Cu nanocluster doping (DCN-FeCu) enables g-C3 N4 to generate interlayer electrons under microwave irradiation, leading to interlayer polarization processes and electron delocalization effects, thus enhancing the interlayer migration efficiency of electrons. It also improves impurity energy levels and leads to a decrease in work function, allowing DCN-FeCu to produce microwave carriers across the photoelectric potential barrier under low-energy microwave radiation (2.45 GHz). This asymmetric doping modulation produces layer number-dependent microwave electron excitations that are verified using multi-metal doping. Therefore, structurally modulated asymmetric doping of 2D materials with interfacial spatial effects can provide efficient microwave disinfection and pneumonia therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with an oxygen-dependent character is a noninvasive therapeutic method for cancer treatment. However, its clinical therapeutic effect is greatly restricted by tumor hypoxia. What's more, both PDT-mediated oxygen consumption and microvascular damage aggravate tumor hypoxia, thus, further impeding therapeutic outcomes. Compared to type II PDT with high oxygen dependence and high oxygen consumption, type I PDT with less oxygen consumption exhibits great potential to overcome the vicious hypoxic plight in solid tumors. Type I photosensitizers (PSs) are significantly important for determining the therapeutic efficacy of PDT, which performs an electron transfer photochemical reaction with the surrounding oxygen/substrates to generate highly cytotoxic free radicals such as superoxide radicals (˙O2-) as type I ROS. In particular, the primary precursor (˙O2-) would progressively undergo a superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mediated disproportionation reaction and a Haber-Weiss/Fenton reaction, yielding higher cytotoxic species (˙OH) with better anticancer effects. As a result, developing high-performance type I PSs to treat hypoxic tumors has become more and more important and urgent. Herein, the latest progress of organic type I PSs (such as AIE-active cationic/neutral PSs, cationic/neutral PSs, polymer-based PSs and supramolecular self-assembled PSs) for monotherapy or synergistic therapeutic modalities is summarized. The molecular design principles and strategies (donor-acceptor system, anion-π+ incorporation, polymerization and cationization) are highlighted. Furthermore, the future challenges and prospects of type I PSs in hypoxia-overcoming PDT are proposed.

Abstract
Zn2+ and H2S are essential to maintain normal prostate function, and sometimes can evolve into weapons to attack and destroy prostate cancer (PCa) cells. Nevertheless, how to achieve the targeted and effective release of Zn2+ and H2S, and reverse the concentration distribution within PCa tumor cells still highly challenging. Herein, combined with these pathological characteristics of prostate, we proposed a tumor microenvironment (TME) responsive Zn2+-interference and H2S-mediated gas synergistic therapy strategy based on a nanoplatform of tannic acid (TA) modified zinc sulfide nanoparticles (ZnS@TA) for the specific treatment of PCa. Once the constructed pH-responsive ZnS@TA internalized by cancer cells, it would instantaneously decomposed in acidic TME, and explosively release excess Zn2+ and H2S exceeding the cell self-regulation threshold. Meanwhile, the in situ produced Zn2+ and H2S synergistic enhancement of cell apoptosis, which is evidenced to increase levels of Bax and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, release of Cytochrome c in cancer cells, contributing to inhibit the growth of tumor. Moreover, the TA in cooperation with Zn2+ specifically limits the migration and invasion of PCa cells. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the Zn2+-interference in combination with H2S-mediated gas therapy achieves an excellent anti-tumor performance. Overall, this nanotheranostic synergistic therapy provides a promising direction for exploring new strategies for cancer treatment based on specific tumor pathological characteristics, and provides a new vision for promoting practical cancer therapy.

Abstract
The large number of deaths induced by carcinoma and infections indicates that the need for new, better, targeted therapy is higher than ever. Apart from classical treatments and medication, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is one of the possible approaches to cure these clinical conditions. This strategy offers several advantages, such as lower toxicity, selective treatment, faster recovery time, avoidance of systemic toxic effects, and others. Unfortunately, there is a small number of agents that are approved for usage in clinical PDT. Novel, efficient, biocompatible PDT agents are, thus, highly desired. One of the most promising candidates is represented by the broad family of carbon-based quantum dots, such as graphene quantum dots (GQDs), carbon quantum dots (CQDs), carbon nanodots (CNDs), and carbonized polymer dots (CPDs). In this review paper, these new smart nanomaterials are discussed as potential PDT agents, detailing their toxicity in the dark, and when they are exposed to light, as well as their effects on carcinoma and bacterial cells. The photoinduced effects of carbon-based quantum dots on bacteria and viruses are particularly interesting, since dots usually generate several highly toxic reactive oxygen species under blue light. These species are acting as bombs on pathogen cells, causing various devastating and toxic effects on those targets.

Abstract
Currently, precise ablation of tumors without damaging the surrounding normal tissue is still an urgent problem for clinical microwave therapy of liver cancer. Herein, we synthesized Mn-doped Ti MOFs (Mn–Ti MOFs) nanosheets by in-situ doping method and applied them for microwave therapy. Infrared thermal imaging results indicate Mn–Ti MOFs can rapidly increase the temperature of normal saline, attributing to the porous structure improving microwave-induced ion collision frequency. Moreover, Mn–Ti MOFs show higher 1O2 output than Ti MOFs under 2 W of low-power microwave irradiation due to the narrower band-gap after Mn doping. At the same time, Mn endows the MOFs with a desirable T1 contrast of magnetic resonance imaging (r2/r1 = 2.315). Further, results on HepG2 tumor-bearing mice prove that microwave-triggered Mn–Ti MOFs nearly eradicate the tumors after 14 days of treatment. Our study offers a promising sensitizer for synergistic microwave thermal and microwave dynamic therapy of liver cancer. Mn-doped Ti-MOFs nanosheets (Mn–Ti MOFs) were synthesized as novel microwave sensitizers. Mn–Ti MOFs can significantly generate heat and produce ROS under low-power microwave irradiation. The combination of microwave thermal therapy and microwave dynamic therapy can effectively inhibit the growth of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. The microwave sensitizers have potential application in MRI-guided microwave therapy for liver cancer.

Abstract
Microwave ablation (MWA) is a novel treatment modality that can lead to the death of tumor cells by heating the ions and polar molecules in the tissue through high-speed vibration and friction. However, the single hyperthermia is not sufficient to completely inhibit tumor growth. Herein, a thermodynamic cancer-therapeutic modality has been fabricated which could be able to overcome hypoxia's limitations in the tumor microenvironment. Using thermo-sensitive liposomes (TSLs) and oxygen-independent radical generators (2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane]dihydrochloride [AIPH]), a nano-drug delivery system denoted as ATSL is developed for efficient sequential cancer treatment. Under the microwave field, the temperature rise of local tissue could not only lead to the damage of tumor cells but also induce the release of AIPH encapsulated in ATSL to produce free radicals, eliciting tumor cell death. In addition, the ATSL developed here would avoid the side effects caused by the uncontrolled diffusion of AIPH to normal tissues. The ATSLs have shown excellent therapeutic effects both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting its highly promising potential for clinic.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) are widely used as photosensitizers for image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT). Due to the limited penetration depth of light in biological tissues, the treatments of deep-seated tumors by visible-light-sensitized aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers are severely hampered. Microwave dynamic therapy attracts much attention because microwave irradiation can penetrate very deep tissues and sensitize the photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this work, a mitochondrial-targeting AIEgen (DCPy) is integrated with living mitochondria to form a bioactive AIE nanohybrid. This nanohybrid can not only generate ROS under microwave irradiation to induce apoptosis of deep-seated cancer cells but also reprogram the metabolism pathway of cancer cells through retrieving oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) instead of glycolysis to enhance the efficiency of microwave dynamic therapy. This work demonstrates an effective strategy to integrate synthetic AIEgens and natural living organelles, which would inspire more researchers to develop advanced bioactive nanohybrids for cancer synergistic therapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in physiological and pathological processes, emerging as a therapeutic target in cancer. Owing to the high concentration of ROS in solid tumor tissues, ROS-based treatments, such as photodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy, and ROS-responsive drug delivery systems have been widely explored to powerfully and specifically suppress tumors. However, their anticancer efficacy is still hampered by the heterogeneous ROS levels, and thus comprehensively upregulating the ROS levels in tumor tissues can ensure an enhanced therapeutic effect, which can further sensitize and/or synergize with other therapies to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. Herein, we review the recently emerging drug delivery strategies and technologies for increasing the H2O2, ˙OH, 1O2, and ˙O2- concentrations in cancer cells, including the efficient delivery of natural enzymes, nanozymes, small molecular biological molecules, and nanoscale Fenton-reagents and semiconductors and neutralization of intracellular antioxidant substances and localized input of mechanical and electromagnetic waves (such as ultrasound, near infrared light, microwaves, and X-rays). The applications of these ROS-upregulating nanosystems in enhancing and synergizing cancer therapies including chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy are surveyed. In addition, we discuss the challenges of ROS-upregulating systems and the prospects for future studies.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) or industrial 3D printing uses cutting-edge technologies and materials to produce a variety of complex products. However, the effects of the unintentionally emitted AM (nano)particles (AMPs) on human cells following inhalation, require further investigations. The physicochemical characterization of the AMPs, extracted from the filter of a Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) 3D printer of iron-based materials, disclosed their complexity, in terms of size, shape, and chemistry. Cell Painting, a high-content screening (HCS) assay, was used to detect the subtle morphological changes elicited by the AMPs at the single cell resolution. The profiling of the cell morphological phenotypes, disclosed prominent concentration-dependent effects on the cytoskeleton, mitochondria, and the membranous structures of the cell. Furthermore, lipidomics confirmed that the AMPs induced the extensive membrane remodeling in the lung epithelial and macrophage co-culture cell model. To further elucidate the biological mechanisms of action, the targeted metabolomics unveiled several inflammation-related metabolites regulating the cell response to the AMP exposure. Overall, the AMP exposure led to the internalization, oxidative stress, cytoskeleton disruption, mitochondrial activation, membrane remodeling, and metabolic reprogramming of the lung epithelial cells and macrophages. We propose the approach of integrating Cell Painting with metabolomics and lipidomics, as an advanced nanosafety methodology, increasing the ability to capture the cellular and molecular phenotypes and the relevant biological mechanisms to the (nano)particle exposure.

Abstract
Mechanical stimulation utilizing deep tissue-penetrating and focusable energy sources, such as ultrasound and magnetic fields, is regarded as an emerging patient-friendly and effective therapeutic strategy to overcome the limitations of conventional cancer therapies based on fundamental external stimuli such as light, heat, electricity, radiation, or microwaves. Recent efforts have suggested that mechanical stimuli-driven cancer therapy (henceforth referred to as "mechanical cancer therapy") could provide a direct therapeutic effect and intelligent control to augment other anti-cancer systems as a synergistic combinational cancer treatment. This review article highlights the latest advances in mechanical cancer therapy to present a novel perspective on the fundamental principles of ultrasound- and magnetic field-mediated mechanical forces, including compression, tension, shear force, and torque, that can be generated in a cellular microenvironment using mechanical stimuli-activated functional materials. Additionally, this article will shed light on mechanical cancer therapy and inspire future research to pursue the development of ultrasound- and magnetic-field-activated materials and their applications in this field.

Abstract
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) holds a great promise for cancer patients, however, due to the hypoxic characteristics of most solid tumors and the limited penetration depth of light in tissues, the extensive clinical application of PDT is limited. Herein, we report microwave induced copper-cysteamine (Cu-Cy) nanoparticles-based PDT as a promising cancer treatment to overcome cancer resistance in combination with ferroptosis. The treatment efficiency of Cu-Cy-mediated microwave dynamic therapy (MWDT) tested on HCT15 colorectal cancer (CRC) cells via cell titer-blue cell viability assay and live/dead assay reveal that Cu-Cy upon MW irradiation can effectively destroy HCT15 CRC cells with average IC-50 values of 20 μg/mL. The cytotoxicity of Cu-Cy to tumor cells after MW stimulation can be alleviated by ferroptosis inhibitor. Furthermore, Cu-Cy mediated MWDT could deplete glutathione peroxide 4 (GPX4) and enhance lipid peroxides (LPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Our findings demonstrate that MW-activated Cu-Cy killed CRC cells by inducing ferroptosis. The superior in vivo antitumor efficacy of the Cu-Cy was corroborated by a HCT15 tumor-bearing mice model. Immunohistochemical experiments showed that the GPX4 expression level in Cu-Cy + MW group was significantly lower than that in other groups. Overall, these findings demonstrate that Cu-Cy nanoparticles have a safe and promising clinical application prospect in MWDT for deep-seated tumors and effectively inhibit tumor cell proliferation by inducing ferroptosis, which provides a potential solution for cancer resistance.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used in recent years as a non-invasive treatment for cancer, due to the side effects of traditional treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. This therapeutic technique requires a photosensitizer, light energy, and oxygen to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) which mediate cellular toxicity. PDT is a useful non-invasive therapy for cancer treatment, but it has some limitations that need to be overcome, such as low-light-penetration depths, non-targeting photosensitizers, and tumor hypoxia. This review focuses on the latest innovative strategies based on the synergistic use of other energy sources, such as non-visible radiation of the electromagnetic spectrum (microwaves, infrared, and X-rays), ultrasound, and electric/magnetic fields, to overcome PDT limitations and enhance the therapeutic effect of PDT. The main principles, mechanisms, and crucial elements of PDT are also addressed.

Abstract
Hollow materials derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged in the biomedical field due to their unique properties, and different synthesis methods have been proposed. However, so far, the large-scale use of hollow MOFs is mostly limited by the timeliness of synthesis methods. Herein, we propose a new ultrasonic aerosol flow strategy for the instantaneous synthesis of a Zr-MOF-derived hollow sphere complex (ZC-HSC) in only one step. Through rapid transient heating, the coordination between metal salts and organic ligands occurs along with prompt evaporation of the solvent. The whole process lasts for only about 21 s, compared with several steps that take hours or even days for conventional synthesis methods. Based on the ZC-HSC, we designed a nanodrug with the functions of manipulating the tumor microenvironment, which can reshape the tumor microenvironment by improving tumor hypoxia and inflammatory microenvironment and promoting antiangiogenic therapy. Combined with microwave thermo-chemotherapy, the nanodrugs effectively treat triple-negative breast cancer (the tumor cell survival rate was only 34.76 and 31.05% in normoxic and hypoxic states, respectively, and the tumor inhibition rate reached 87.9% at the animal level), providing a new theoretical basis for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. This rapid, one-step, and continuous ultrasonic aerosol flow strategy has bright prospects in the synthesis of MOF-derived hollow materials and promotes the further development of large-scale applications of biological nanomaterials.

The commercial antibiotics with inherent AIE feature: In situ visualization of antibiotic metabolism and specifically differentiation of bacterial species and broad-spectrum therapy. Bioact Mater 2022; 23:223-233.

Abstract
The research on pharmacology usually focuses on the structure-activity relationships of drugs, such as antibiotics, to enhance their activity, but often ignores their optical properties. However, investigating the photophysical properties of drugs is of great significance because they could be used to in situ visualize their positions and help us to understand their working metabolism. In this work, we identified a class of commercialized antibiotics, such as levofloxacin, norfloxacin, and moxifloxacin (MXF) hydrochloride, featuring the unique aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. By taking advantage of their AIE feature, antibiotic metabolism in cells could be in situ visualized, which clearly shows that the luminescent aggregates accumulate in the lysosomes. Moreover, after a structure-activity relationship study, we found an ideal site of MXF to be modified with a triphenylphosphonium and an antibiotic derivative MXF-P was prepared, which is able to specifically differentiate bacterial species after only 10 min of treatment. Moreover, MXF-P shows highly effective broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, excellent therapeutic effects and biosafety for S. aureus-infected wound recovery. Thus, this work not only discovers the multifunctionalities of the antibiotics but also provides a feasible strategy to make the commercialized drugs more powerful.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted much attention in the field of anticancer treatment. However, PDT has to face challenges, such as aggregation caused by quenching of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and short 1O2 lifetime, which lead to unsatisfactory therapeutic effect. Aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgens)-based photosensitizers (PSs) showed enhanced ROS generation upon aggregation, which showed great potential for hypoxic tumor treatment with enhanced PDT effect. In this review, we summarized the design strategies and applications of AIEgen-based PSs with improved PDT efficacy since 2019. Firstly, we introduce the research background and some basic knowledge in the related field. Secondly, the recent approaches of AIEgen-based PSs for enhanced PDT are summarized in two categories: (1) organelle-targeting PSs that could cause direct damage to organelles to enhance PDT effects, and (2) PSs with tumor-targeting abilities to selectively suppress tumor growth and reduce side effects. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities are discussed. We hope this review can offer new insights and inspirations for the development of AIEgen-based PSs for better PDT effect.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated by photosensitizers loaded in nanostructures as solid lipid nanoparticles has been pinpointed as an effective and safe treatment against different skin cancers. Amazon butters have an interesting lipid composition when it comes to forming solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN). In the present report, a new third-generation photosensitizing system consisting of aluminum-phthalocyanine associated with Amazon butter-based solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN-AlPc) is described. The SLN was developed using murumuru butter, and a monodisperse population of nanodroplets with a hydrodynamic diameter of approximately 40 nm was obtained. The study of the permeation of these AlPc did not permeate the analyzed skin, but when incorporated into the system, SLN-AlPc allowed permeation of almost 100% with 8 h of contact. It must be emphasized that SLN-AlPc was efficient for carrying aluminum-phthalocyanine photosensitizers and exhibited no toxicity in the dark. Photoactivated SLN-AlPc exhibited a 50% cytotoxicity concentration (IC50) of 19.62 nM when applied to B16-F10 monolayers, and the type of death caused by the treatment was apoptosis. The exposed phospholipid phosphatidylserine was identified, and the treatment triggered a high expression of Caspase 3. A stable Amazon butter-based SLN-AlPc formulation was developed, which exhibits strong in vitro photodynamic activity on melanoma cells.

Abstract
Light-based phototherapy has been developed for cancer treatment owing to its non-invasiveness and spatiotemporal control. Despite the unique merits of phototherapy, one critical disadvantage of light is its limited penetration depth, which restricts its application in cancer treatment. Although many researchers have developed various strategies to deliver light into deep-seated tumors with two-photon and near-infrared light irradiation, phototherapy encounters the peculiar limitations of light. In addition, high oxygen dependency is another limitation of photodynamic therapy to treat hypoxic tumors. To overcome the drawbacks of conventional treatments, various energy sources have been developed for cancer treatment. Generally, most energy sources, such as ultrasound, chemiluminescence, radiation, microwave, electricity, and magnetic field, are relatively free from the restraint of penetration depth. Combining other strategies or therapies with other energy-source-based therapies improves the strength and compensates for the weakness. This tutorial review focuses on recent advances in the diverse energy sources utilized in cancer treatment and their future perspectives.

Abstract
This study develops a multifunctional molecular optical nanoprobe (SiO2@Gd2O3: Yb3+/Er3+/Li+@Ce6/MC540) with a unique core-satellite form. The rare-earth doped nanodots with good crystallinity are uniformly embedded on the surface of a hydrophilic silica core, and the nanoprobe can emit near-infrared-IIb (NIR-IIb) luminescence for imaging as well as visible light that perfectly matches the absorption bands of two included photosensitizers under 980 nm irradiation. The optimal NIR-IIb emission and upconversion efficiency are attainable via regulating the doping ratios of Yb3+, Er3+ and Li+ ions. The relevant energy transfer mechanism was addressed theoretically that underpins rare-earth photoluminescence where energy back-transfer and cross relaxation processes play pivotal roles. The nanoprobe can achieve an excellent dual-drive photodynamic treatment performance, verified by singlet oxygen detections and live-dead cells imaging assays, with a synergistic effect. And a brightest NIR-IIb imaging was attained in tumoral site of mouse. The nanoprobe has a high potential to serve as a new type of optical theranostic agent for tumor.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has received increasing interest in cancer treatment, but its clinical application is still constrained by the low activity of sonosensitizers and their unclear mechanism. Herein, a kind of oxygen-deficient manganese oxide (MnOx) nanoparticles with greatly enhanced sonodynamic activity and good biocompatibility is developed as an advanced sonosensitizer. The introduced oxygen defects can remarkably enhance the electrical conductivity of manganese oxide (MnO) nanoparticles and serve as charge trapping sites to prohibit the electron-hole pair recombination upon ultrasound (US) irradiation. Such distinct merits promote the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), making MnOx as a decent sonosensitizer for SDT, and thus endowing MnOx with higher ROS production under US irradiation. As a demonstration, the MnOx nanoparticles decorated by 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (MnOx-DSPE-PEG), a biocompatible coverage to enhance the dispersion ability, achieve a superior tumor killing efficiency of 96%, substantially higher than the MnO-DSPE-PEG counterpart (9%). Our experimental results also reveal that MnOx-DSPE-PEG nanoparticles induce the death of tumor cells by targeting polyunsaturated fatty acids in their membrane with US-triggered ROS. Furthermore, the as-designed sonosensitizers exhibit negligible toxicity toward the treated mice.

Abstract
Developing a small molecular photosensitizer to achieve multimodal phototherapy has recently garnered attention as a promising strategy for efficient cancer treatment. However, synthesis of a multifunctional small molecular photosensitizer has remained challenging. Here we report an aggregation-induced-emission (AIE)-featured luminogen (AIEgen) TPA-BTZ decorated with long and branched alkyl chains. TPA-BTZ shows long-wavelength emission at ca. 800 nm in the NIR-I region. Moreover, upon laser irradiation, TPA-BTZ could produce O2˙- and 1O2via both type I and type II mechanisms for enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT). The propeller-like structure triphenylamine (TPA) rotators not only endow TPA-BTZ with AIE characteristics but also facilitate heat generation by intramolecular rotation for photothermal therapy (PTT). More importantly, long and branched alkyl chains can create intermolecular spatial isolation in the fabricated TPA-BTZ@PEG2000 nanoparticles (NPs) to allow sufficient intramolecular motion for photothermal conversion. Due to these unique features, in vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrate that the TPA-BTZ@PEG2000 NPs exhibited long-term NIR-imaging ability, superior tumoricidal activity, and suppressed tumor growth. This research provides new insights for developing new AIEgens for NIR imaging-guided multimodal phototherapy.

Abstract
Radiolabelled superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are a promising nanomaterial for the development of dual radiation/hyperthermia cancer therapy. To that purpose, flower-shaped SPIONs with an exceptional heating capability were synthesised and coated with citrate, dextran or (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane. Both non-coated and coated SPIONs were nontoxic to CT-26 mouse colon cancer cells up to 1.0 mg ml-1in vitro. In an oscillating magnetic field, citrate-coated SPIONs (CA/SPIONs) displayed the highest heating rate (SAR ∼ 253 W g-1) and the strongest hyperthermia effects against CT-26 cells. Labelling of the CA/SPIONs by the90Y radionuclide, emitting β-radiation with an average/maximum energy of 0.94/2.23 MeV, and deep tissue penetration generated90Y-CA/SPIONs intended for the therapy of solid tumours. However, intravenous injection of90Y-CA/SPIONs in CT-26 xenograft-bearing mice resulted in low tumour accumulation. On the contrary, intratumoural injection resulted in long-term retention at the injection site. A single intratumoural injection of 0.25 mg CA/SPIONs followed by 30-min courses of magnetic hyperthermia for four consecutive days caused a moderate antitumour effect against CT-26 and 4T1 mouse tumour xenografts. Intratumoural application of 1.85 MBq/0.25 mg90Y-CA/SPIONs, alone or combined with hyperthermia, caused a significant (P ≤ 0.01) antitumour effect without signs of systemic toxicity. The results confirm the suitability of90Y-CA/SPIONs for monotherapy or dual magnetic hyperthermia-radionuclide nanobrachytherapy (NBT) of solid tumours.

Self-Matrix N-Doped Room Temperature Phosphorescent Carbon Dots Triggered by Visible and Ultraviolet Light Dual Modes. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12132210.

Abstract
The synthesis of room temperature phosphorescent carbon dots (RTP-CDs) without any matrix is important in various applications. In particular, RTP-CDs with dual modes of excitation are more interesting. Here, we successfully synthesized matrix-free carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) that can generate green RTP under visible and ultraviolet light dual-mode excitation. Using acrylic acid (AA) and ammonium oxalate as precursors, a simple one-pot hydrothermal method was selected to prepare AA-CPDs. Here, acrylic acid is easy to polymerize under high temperature and high pressure, which makes AA-CPDs form a dense cross-linked internal structure. Ammonium oxalate as a nitrogen source can form amino groups during the reaction, which reacts with a large number of pendant carboxyl groups on the polymer chains to further form a cross-linked structure. The carboxyl and amino groups on the surface of AA-CPDs are connected by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds can provide space protection (isolation of oxygen) around the AA-CPDs phosphor, which can stably excite the triplet state. This self-matrix structure effectively inhibits the non-radiative transition by blocking the intramolecular motion of CPDs. Under the excitation of WLED and 365 nm ultraviolet light, AA-CPDs exhibit the phosphorescence emission at 464 nm and 476 nm, respectively. The naked-eye observation exceeds 5 s and 10 s, respectively, and the average lifetime at 365 nm excitation wavelength is as long as 412.03 ms. In addition, it successfully proved the potential application of AA-CPDs in image anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on Fenton and Fenton-like reactions induces cancer cell killing via in situ catalyzing H2 O2 and generating highly oxidative hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH) in tumor sites. Their application is not limited by tumor grown depth or hypoxic microenvironment. However, the reaction efficiency is still hampered due to the structure of catalytic agents and the requirement for low pH environment. Here, we design a porous CuO nanocluster (CuO NC) through self-assembly of oleylamine stabilized CuO NPs (OAm-CuO NPs), and functionalize it with folic acid (CuO NC-FA) for specific tumor cell targeting. It can catalyze H2 O2 with high efficiency in nearly neutral environment. Besides, the porous structure of CuO NC also helps the diffusion of H2 O2 to the interior of nanocluster to further improve Fenton-like reaction efficiency. The convenient synthesis of CuO NC-FA with good Fenton-like reaction efficiency at neutral environment demonstrates good chemodynamic therapy effect.

Abstract
To date, a large number of photosensitizers (PS) have introduced heavy atoms to improve the ISC process and 1O2 generation. However, they often show low efficiency in hypoxic conditions, aggregate states, and turn-off PDT in the dark. Besides that, the toxicity of heavy metals is also concerned. Therefore, we developed lysosome-targeted heavy-metal-free PS (3S and 4S) based on thionated naphthalimide for hypoxic cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT), not only under white light but also in the dark via thermal-induced 1O2 generation. AIEgen (3O and 4O) were prepared for studying the PDT action of PSs (3S and 4S) in lysosome and aggregate state. We also examined the photophysical properties of AIEgen (3O and 4O) and PS (3S and 4S) by UV–vis absorption, fluorescent emission spectra, and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel rare-earth-doped upconverted nanomaterial NaYF4:Yb,Tm fluorescent probe is reported, which can detect cancer-related specific miRNAs in low abundance. The detection is based on an upconversion of nanomaterials NaYF4:Yb,Tm, with emissions at 345, 362, 450, 477, 646, and 802 nm, upon excitation at 980 nm. The optimal Yb3+:Tm3+ doping ratio is 40:1, in which the NaYF4:Yb,Tm nanomaterials have the strongest fluorescence. The NaYF4:Yb, Tm nanoparticles were coated with carboxylation or carboxylated protein, in order to improve their water solubility and biocompatibility. The two commonly expressed proteins, miRNA-155 and miRNA-150, were detected by the designed fluorescent probe. The results showed that the probes can distinguish miRNA-155 well from partial and complete base mismatch miRNA-155, and can effectively distinguish miRNA-155 and miRNA-150. The preliminary results indicate that these upconverted nanomaterials have good potential for protein detection in disease diagnosis, including early cancer detection.

Abstract
Calcium-overload cancer therapy has gained more and more attention owing to its good therapeutic efficacy with low side effect. However, conventional calcium-overload therapy is achieved by introducing an additional calcium element into the tumor site by nanomedicines, which may also lead to the calcium-overload of normal organs, causing an undesirable side effect. To address such issues, capsaicin-decorated semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (CSPN) are designed to modulate the calcium ion channel of cancer cells for calcium-overload cancer therapy without adding an additional calcium element. CSPN is composed of a near-infrared (NIR) absorbing semiconducting polymer (SP) PCPDTBT and a capsaicin-conjugated amphiphilic copolymer, PEG-PHEMA-Cap. Under NIR laser irradiation, PCPDTBT can generate singlet oxygen (1 O2 ), which not only triggers the release of capsaicin, but also induces photodynamic therapy (PDT). The released capsaicin can further activate transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) of U373 cancer cells, leading to an influx of calcium ions into cells. In addition, the intense NIR-II fluorescence signal of CSPN makes it suitable for tumor imaging. Thus, this study develops a tumor specific nanotheranostic system for NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided calcium-overload/PDT combination therapy.

Abstract
Alkyl chain-resulted odd-even effects in fluorescence quantum yield (FLQY) have also been reported in organic luminescent materials (OLMs). However, the odd-even effects in FLQY caused by the alkyl substitutes in OLMs are generally very weak, with only single-digit differences. Here, we report a series of alkyl-substituted dual-state luminogens (DSEgens) showing extremely high solid-state FLQY in even-numbered analogues (>90% FLQY) and a dramatically pronounced odd-even effect in FLQY. The odd-even effect in FLQY is over 26% alternation, and a maximum of 48% difference in FLQY was observed between the compounds C1 and C2 with a methyl and ethyl substitution, respectively. C1 and C2 also displayed a crystallochromy with a 22 nm difference in emission wavelength. In addition, odd-even effects in the melting point and decomposition temperature were also observed. With these bright DSEgens, applications such as specific recognition of picric acid and ultrasensitive trace water detection have been demonstrated.

Abstract
Tumor tissues need vast supply of nutrients and energy to sustain the rapid proliferation of cancer cells. Cutting off the glucose supply represents a promising cancer therapy approach. Herein, a tumor tissue-targeted enzyme nanogel (rGCP nanogel) with self-supply oxygen capability was developed. The enzyme nanogel synergistically enhanced starvation therapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to mitigate the rapid proliferation of cancer cells. The rGCP nanogel was fabricated by copolymerizing two monomers, porphyrin and cancer cells-targeted, Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), onto the glucose oxidase (GOX) and catalase (CAT) surfaces. The cascade reaction within the rGCP nanogel could efficiently consume intracellular glucose catalyzed by GOX. Concurrently, CAT safely decomposed the produced H2O2 with systemic toxicity to promote oxygen generation and achieved low toxicity starvation therapy. The produced oxygen subsequently facilitated the glucose oxidation reaction and significantly enhanced the generation of cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) in the presence of 660 nm light irradiation. Combining starvation therapy and PDT, the designed enzyme nanogel system presented an amplified synergic cancer therapy effect. This approach potentially paved a new way to fabricate a combinatorial therapy approach by employing cascaded catalytic nanomedicines with good tumor selectivity and efficient anti-cancer effect. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The performance of starvation and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is usually suppressed by intrinsic tumorous hypoxia. Herein, an oxygen self-supplied and tumor tissue-targeted enzyme nanogel was created by copolymerization of two monomers, porphyrin and cancer cell-targeted Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), onto the surface of glucose oxidase (GOX) and catalase (CAT), which synergistically enhanced starvation therapy and PDT. Moreover, the enzyme nanogels possessed high stability and could be synthesized straightforwardly. This anti-cancer system provides an approach for constructing a combinatorial therapy approach by employing cascaded catalytic nanomedicine with good tumor selectivity and therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequently occurring malignancy tumors with a high morbidity additionally, CRC patients may develop liver metastasis, which is the major cause of death. Despite significant advances in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, the survival rate of colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) patients remains very low. CRLM, as a complex cascade reaction process involving multiple factors and procedures, has complex and diverse molecular mechanisms. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms/pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment of CRLM. We also focus on an overview of the recent advances in understanding the molecular basis of CRLM with a special emphasis on tumor microenvironment and promise of newer targeted therapies for CRLM, further improving the prognosis of CRLM patients.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is considered as the most serious bone infection, which can lead to the bone destruction or fatal sepsis. Clinical treatments through frequent antibiotics administration and surgical debridement bring inevitable side effects including drug-resistance and disfigurements. It is urgent to develop an antibiotics-free and rapid strategy to treat osteomyelitis. Herein, a bifunctional sonosensitizer that consists of porphyrin-like Zn single-atom catalysts (g-ZnN4 ) and MoS2 quantum dots is developed, which exhibits excellent sonodynamic antibacterial efficiency and osteogenic ability. It is found that the construction of heterogeneous interfaces of g-ZnN4 -MoS2 fully activates the adsorbed O2 due to the increased interface charge transfer, enhanced spin-flip, and reduced activation energy of O2 . The generated 1 O2 can kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with an antibacterial efficiency of 99.58% under 20 min of ultrasound (US) irradiation. The Zn single atoms immobilized in g-ZnN4 can be released steadily in the form of Zn2+ for 28 days within safe concentration, realizing the great osteoinductive ability of such a sonosensitizer. For the treatment of MRSA-infected osteomyelitis, the inflammation and bone loss can be significantly suppressed through sonodynamic ion therapy. This work provides another strategy for developing high efficiency sonosensitizer through ultrasound interfacial engineering.

Abstract
A facile synthesis, biological evaluation and photodynamic properties of novel activatable anticancer molecular hybrids (chimeras) Ch and I-Ch are described. The chimeras consist of DNA methylating methyl triazene moiety and fluorogenic xanthene-cyanine (XCy) or iodinated xanthene-cyanine (I-XCy) photosensitizer. These two anticancer core structures are bound by means of a self-immolative 4-aminobenzyl alcohol linker. The hydrolytic cleavage of the carbamate protecting group promotes activation of both DNA methylating monomethyl triazene and phototoxic xanthene-cyanine dye providing, in addition, a near-IR emission signal for detection of the drug activation events. Preliminary antiproliferative assay demonstrates that the developed chimeras exhibit higher antitumor activity in the breast cancer cell line upon near-IR light irradiation compared to their structural constituents, xanthene-cyanine photosensitizer and monomethyl triazene substance.

Abstract
Phototherapies offer treatment of tumors with high spatial selectivity. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) consists in the administration of a photosensitizer (PS) followed by local photoirradiation with light of specific wavelength. The excited states of the PS interact with biomolecules and molecular oxygen producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), which initiate cell death. Photothermal therapy (PTT) employs photothermal agents to harvest the energy from light and convert it into heat to produce a temperature increase of the surrounding environment leading to cell death. Due to their good biocompatibility and unique photophysical properties, carbon-based materials are suitable for application in PDT and PTT. In particular, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), is a low-cost, non-toxic, and environment-friendly material, which is currently being used in the development of new nanomaterials with application in PDT and PTT. This brief review includes recent advances in the development of g-C3N4-based nanomaterials specifically designed for achieving red-shifted band gaps with the aim of generating oxygen molecules via water splitting upon red light or NIR irradiation to tackle the hypoxic condition of the tumor area. Nanomaterials designed for theranostics, combining medical imaging applications with PDT and/or PTT treatments are also included. The recent developments of g-C3N4-nanomaterials containing lanthanide-based upconversion nanoparticles are also covered. Finally, g-C3N4-based nanomaterials employed in microwave induced photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and magnetic hyperthermia are considered.

Nano-octahedral bimetallic Fe/Eu-MOF preparation and dual model sensing of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) based on its peroxidase-like property and fluorescence. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 129:112404. [PMID: 34579916 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
Herein a nano-scale bimetallic Fe/Eu-MOF with a regular octahedral structure was synthesized for the first time. The synthesized Fe/Eu-MOF has both peroxidase-like activity and fluorescence properties. Fe/Eu-MOF can catalyze H2O2 to oxidize the chromogenic substrate TMB to produce blue oxTMB, which has ultraviolet absorption at 652 nm. Unexpectedly, the generated oxTMB can effectively quench the fluorescence of the catalyst Fe/Eu-MOF at 450 nm. The quenching mechanism is mainly the internal filtration effect (IFE), accompanied by static quenching (SQE), Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and photoelectron transfer (PET). Fe/Eu-MOF has a high affinity for sodium pyrophosphate (PPi). PPi can be adsorbed to the surface of Fe/Eu-MOF, destroying the structure of Fe/Eu-MOF and inhibiting its catalytic activity, resulting in a decrease in UV absorbance and the decline of fluorescence quenching. In contrast, phosphoric acid (Pi) has almost no effect on the reaction system. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) can catalyze the hydrolysis of PPi to Pi, thereby reducing the inhibitory effect of PPi. Based on this, we successfully constructed a dual-mode ALP sensor with high selectivity. The linear ranges based on the 652 nm absorption or the fluorescence detection are from 1 to 200 U/L, and the detection limits are 0.6 for the absorption method and 0.9 U/L for the fluorescence method, respectively.
