Abstract
Several clinical issues are associated with reduced oxygen delivery to tissues due to impaired vascular perfusion; moreover, organs procured for transplantation are subjected to severe hypoxia during preservation. Consequently, alternative tissue oxygenation is an active field in biomedical research where several innovative approaches have been recently proposed. Among these, intravascular photosynthesis represents a promising approach as it relies on the intrinsic capacity of certain microorganisms to produce oxygen upon illumination. In this context, this work aims at the development of photosynthetic perfusable solutions that could be applied to preserve organs for transplantation purposes. Our findings demonstrate that a biocompatible physiological solution containing the photosynthetic microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii can fulfill the metabolic oxygen demand of rat kidney slices in vitro. Furthermore, intravascular administration of this solution does not induce tissue damage in the rat kidneys. Moreover, kidney slices obtained from these algae-perfused organs exhibited significantly improved preservation after 24 h of incubation in hypoxia while exposed to light, resulting in reduced tissue damage and enhanced metabolic status. Overall, the results presented here contribute to the development of alternative strategies for tissue oxygenation, supporting the use of perfusable photosynthetic solutions for organ preservation in transplantation.

"One-Pot" Synthesized Phosphorus Corrole-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks for Synergistic Phototherapy and Chemodynamic Therapy. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2408975.

Abstract
As a distinctive class of porphyrin derivatives, corroles offer exceptional potential in phototherapy applications owing to their unique electronic structures. However, developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that incorporate photosensitive corroles as functional ligands for synergistic phototherapy remains a formidable challenge. Herein, for the first time, the unique phosphorus corrole-based MOFs Cor(P)-Hf with (3,18)-connected gea topology are reported, which are constructed by Cs-symmetric dicarboxylate 3-connected linkers, 10-pentafluorophenyl-5,15-di(p-benzoate)phosphorus corrole (Cor(P)), and the peculiar D3h-symmetric 18-connected Hf12-oxo clusters. Interestingly, six para-position F substituents of six Cor(P) linkers are found to be coordinated with the apex of the Hf12-oxo cluster through Hf-F bonds along the c-axis direction, which is believed to help stabilize the framework. Furthermore, the mixed corrolic ligand-based MOFs Cor(P)/Cor(Cu)-Hf and Cor(P)/Cor(Fe)-Hf involving Cor(Fe) or Cor(Cu) as the secondary functional linkers are constructed by a simple "one-pot" solvent-thermal method, respectively. Remarkably, Cor(P)/Cor(Fe)-Hf facilitates synergistic phototherapy combining photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) when activated by an 808 nm laser, as evidenced by in vivo and in vitro experiments. This study demonstrates corrole-based MOFs Cor(P)-Hf as a powerful multifunctional nanoplatform for anti-cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
Metastasis and recurrence are the main challenges in cancer treatment. Among various therapeutic approaches, immunotherapy holds promise for preventing metastasis and recurrence. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of treating primary cancer and blocking metastasis and recurrence with photo-immunotherapeutic nanoparticles, which were synthesized using two types of charged polysaccharides. Codium fragile polysaccharide (CFP), which exhibits immune-stimulating properties and carries a negative charge, was combined with positively charged chitosan to synthesize nanoparticles. Additionally, indocyanine green (ICG), a photosensitizer, was loaded inside these particles and was referred to as chitosan-CFP-ICG (CC-ICG). Murine colon cancer cells (CT-26) internalized CC-ICG, and subsequent 808-nanometer laser irradiation promoted apoptotic/necrotic cell death. Moreover, intratumoral injection of CC-ICG, with 808-nanometer laser irradiation eliminated CT-26 tumors in mice. Rechallenged lung metastases of CT-26 cancer were inhibited by dendritic cell activation-mediated cytotoxic T lymphocyte stimulation in mice cured by CC-ICG. These results demonstrated that CC-ICG is a natural tumor therapeutic with the potential to treat primary tumors and suppress metastasis and recurrence.

Abstract
Cancer treatment continues to be a substantial problem due to tumor complexities and persistence, demanding novel therapeutic techniques. This review investigates the synergistic potential of combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) and tailored medication delivery technologies to increase mitochondrial toxicity and improve cancer outcomes. PDT induces selective cellular damage and death by activating photosensitizers (PS) with certain wavelengths of light. However, PDT's efficacy can be hampered by issues such as poor light penetration and a lack of selectivity. To overcome these challenges, targeted drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising technique for precisely delivering therapeutic medicines to tumor cells while avoiding off-target effects. We investigate how these technologies can improve mitochondrial targeting and damage, which is critical for causing cancer cell death. The combination method seeks to capitalize on the advantages of both modalities: selective PDT activation and specific targeted drug delivery. We review current preclinical and clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of this combination therapy, focusing on case studies and experimental models. This review also addresses issues such as safety, distribution efficiency, resistance mechanisms, and costs. The prospects of further research include advances in photodynamic agents and medication delivery technology, with a focus on personalized treatment. In conclusion, combining PDT with targeted drug delivery systems provides a promising frontier in cancer therapy, with the ability to overcome current treatment limits and open the way for more effective, personalized cancer treatments.

Abstract
Chemotherapy as a common anticancer therapeutic modality is often challenged by various obstacles such as poor stability, low solubility, and severe side effects of chemotherapeutic agents as well as multidrug resistance of cancerous cells. Nanoparticles in the role of carriers for chemotherapeutic drugs and platforms for combining different therapeutic approaches have effectively participated in overcoming such drawbacks. In particular, nanoparticles able to induce their therapeutic effect in response to specific stimuli like tumor microenvironment characteristics (e.g., hypoxia, acidic pH, high levels of glutathione, and overexpressed hydrogen peroxide) or extrinsic stimulus of laser light bring about more precise and selective treatments. Among them, nanostructures of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have drawn great interest in biomedical fields during recent years. Possessing large surface area, high porosity, structural stability, and customizable architecture, these biocompatible porous crystalline polymers properly translate to promising platforms for drug delivery and induction of combination therapies. With the focus on stimuli-responsive characteristics of nanoscale COFs, this study aims to propose an overview of their potentiality in cancer treatment on the basis of chemotherapy alone or in combination with sonodynamic, chemodynamic, photodynamic, and photothermal therapies.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Multilesional basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are spread on sun exposed skin areas, including arms, face and back. The first-line treatment remains the surgical resection or Mohs surgery. Despite its high complexity, Mohs surgery is well practiced in USA and Germany and presents very good results both in esthetic and in carcinology point of view. Large lesions more than 2 cm remain challenging to remove by topical cream used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). If these larger lesions are not treated in less than 1 month, they could grow deeply in the skin, thus enhancing the risk of reoccurrence and the severity of the disease. Despite this model herein studied, that is non melanoma skin cancer is a good prognostic cancer, the therapy aims to be applied to more aggressive melanoma skin cancers. AIM Total regression of large cutaneous lesions less than 1 month with no reoccurrence. APPROACH Tumor induction on murine model bearing a 500 mm3 subcutaneous lesion. Increasing dose of gold nanoparticles at fixed initial concentration C0 = 0.3 mg/mL, infused into the tumor then exposition of the region of interest to NIR medical laser to assess the therapy. One or two intratumoral administration(s) were compared to surgery and control, that is no treatment, laser alone or nanoparticles alone. RESULTS Gold nanoparticles alone or the NIR laser alone did not induce the tumor regression. The combination of laser and nanoparticles called plasmonic nanophotothermal therapy induced apoptosis. Derma and hypoderm do not show any visible gold nanoparticles and demonstrated a good cicatrization process. CONCLUSION Plasmonic nanophotothermal therapy using two doses of gold nanoparticles was the only protocol that proved its efficacy on large lesions in 14 days, that is 500 mm3 on a murine model bearing human basal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Cancer phototherapy has been introduced as a new potential modality for tumor suppression. However, the efficacy of phototherapy has been limited due to a lack of targeted delivery of photosensitizers. Therefore, the application of biocompatible and multifunctional nanoparticles in phototherapy is appreciated. Chitosan (CS) as a cationic polymer and hyaluronic acid (HA) as a CD44-targeting agent are two widely utilized polymers in nanoparticle synthesis and functionalization. The current review focuses on the application of HA and CS nanostructures in cancer phototherapy. These nanocarriers can be used in phototherapy to induce hyperthermia and singlet oxygen generation for tumor ablation. CS and HA can be used for the synthesis of nanostructures, or they can functionalize other kinds of nanostructures used for phototherapy, such as gold nanorods. The HA and CS nanostructures can combine chemotherapy or immunotherapy with phototherapy to augment tumor suppression. Moreover, the CS nanostructures can be functionalized with HA for specific cancer phototherapy. The CS and HA nanostructures promote the cellular uptake of genes and photosensitizers to facilitate gene therapy and phototherapy. Such nanostructures specifically stimulate phototherapy at the tumor site, with particle toxic impacts on normal cells. Moreover, CS and HA nanostructures demonstrate high biocompatibility for further clinical applications.

Abstract
We presented a NIR-driven Janus Cu2O/Au nanomotor. The nanomotor has a truncated octahedral structure. By asymmetric Au evaporation, the light response range of Cu2O nanomotor is extended to near-infrared range, and the speed of Cu2O/Au nanomotors under NIR is significantly increased. In promoting apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, except the nanotoxicity of Cu2O itself, the Au layer enhances the photothermal properties, allowing Cu2O/Au nanomotors to induce apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by heating them. On the other hand, a Schottky barrier formed at the interface of Cu2O and Au, preventing the recombination of electrons, which makes more electrons react with biomolecules to produce toxic ROS to kill hepatocellular cells. The killing rate of hepatocellular carcinoma cells reached 87 % by the combined effect of nanotoxicity inhibition of proliferation and photothermal & photodynamic therapy (PTT & PDT). Nanomotors in combination with multiple approaches are explored as a new treatment to tumor in this article.

Abstract
The unprecedented demand for variants diagnosis in response to the COVID-19 epidemic has brought the spotlight onto rapid and accurate detection assays for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at multiple locations. However, it is still challenging to ensure simplicity, affordability, and compatibility with multiplexing. Here, a novel technique is presented that combines peptide nucleic acid (PNA) clamps and near-infrared (NIR)-driven digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) to identify the Omicron and Delta variants. This is achieved by simultaneously identifying highly conserved mutated signatures at codons 19, 614, and 655 of the spike protein gene. By microfluidically introducing graphene-oxide-nanocomposite into the assembled gelatin microcarriers, they achieved a rapid temperature ramping-up rate and switchable gel-to-sol phase transformation synchronized with PCR activation under NIR irradiation. Two sets of duplex PCR reactions, each classifying respective PNA probes, are emulsified in parallel and illuminated together using a homemade vacuum-based droplet generation device and a programmable NIR control module. This allowed for selective amplification of mutant sequences due to single-base-pair mismatch with PNA blockers. Sequence-recognized bioreactions and fluorescent-color scoring enabled quick identification of variants. This technique achieved a detection limit of 5,100 copies and a 5-fold quantitative resolution, which is promising to unfold minor differences and dynamic changes.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality rates, imposing a huge burden on both patients and the healthcare system. Traditional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy have limitations, so finding more effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools is critical to improving the survival and quality of life of colorectal cancer patients. While current tumor targeting research mainly focuses on exploring the function and mechanism of molecular targets and screening for excellent drug targets, it is crucial to test the efficacy and mechanism of tumor cell therapy that targets these molecular targets. Selecting the appropriate drug carrier is a key step in effectively targeting tumor cells. In recent years, nanoparticles have gained significant interest as gene carriers in the field of colorectal cancer diagnosis and treatment due to their low toxicity and high protective properties. Nanoparticles, synthesized from natural or polymeric materials, are NM-sized particles that offer advantages such as low toxicity, slow release, and protection of target genes during delivery. By modifying nanoparticles, they can be targeted towards specific cells for efficient and safe targeting of tumor cells. Numerous studies have demonstrated the safety, efficiency, and specificity of nanoparticles in targeting tumor cells, making them a promising gene carrier for experimental and clinical studies. This paper aims to review the current application of nanoparticles in colorectal cancer diagnosis and treatment to provide insights for targeted therapy for colorectal cancer while also highlighting future prospects for nanoparticle development.

[PMID: 37206651 PMCID: PMC10190692 DOI: 10.4254/wjh.v15.i4.460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent form of primary liver cancer, accounting for 75%-85% of cases. Although treatments are given to cure early-stage HCC, up to 50%-70% of individuals may experience a relapse of the illness in the liver after 5 years. Research on the fundamental treatment modalities for recurrent HCC is moving significantly further. The precise selection of individuals for therapy strategies with established survival advantages is crucial to ensuring better outcomes. These strategies aim to minimize substantial morbidity, support good life quality, and enhance survival for patients with recurrent HCC. For individuals with recurring HCC after curative treatment, no approved therapeutic regimen is currently available. A recent study presented novel approaches, like immunotherapy and antiviral medication, to improve the prognosis of patients with recurring HCC with the apparent lack of data to guide the clinical treatment. The data supporting several neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies for patients with recurring HCC are outlined in this review. We also discuss the potential for future clinical and translational investigations.

Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2023; 185:103961. [PMID: 36921781 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2023.103961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers have the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment by allowing precise delivery of drugs to the site of disease. The use of polymeric nanocarriers with surfaces that respond to triggers such as pH, light, temperature, and redox potential enables targeted drug distribution. pH is a particularly useful tool, as the lower pH in tumour microenvironments can trigger changes in drug release. Recent advances in the development of pH-responsive polymer nanoparticles have shown great promise for improved in vivo drug delivery, reduced negative drug responses, and more precise drug distribution. A deeper understanding of these nanocarriers will allow us to overcome the challenges of targeted cancer treatment and create a better drug delivery system.
