Abstract
Rapid propagation of tumor cells requires plenty of energy, which is adenosine triphosphate (ATP) dependent. ATP inhibition in tumors not only results in the starvation of tumor cells but also down-regulation of the level of heat shock proteins (HSPs), which usually increase during traditional photothermal therapy (PTT), especially when the temperature is up 50 °C. 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) is an anti-glycolytic reagent and can be used as an efficient agent for ATP inhibition in tumors. Compared with typical PTT, low-temperature mild photothermal therapy (MPTT) is receiving more and more attention because it avoids the high temperatures causing damage to the normal tissue, and the increase of HSPs which decrease PTT. Here, multifunctional polypeptide nanoparticles pDG@Ahx conjugating both a NIR probe Ahx-BDP and 2DG into the side chain of the amphiphilic polypeptide have been prepared. In vitro and in vivo studies reveal that the as-prepared nanoparticles achieve a synergistic effect of starvation/MPTT/PDT (photodynamic therapy), and it provides a new strategy to NIR-I/II fluorescence imaging-guided starvation/MPTT/PDT synergy therapy for tumors.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) makes it difficult to achieve good performance on tumor treatments due to insufficient photothermal conversion efficiency, etc. Combining PTT with photodynamic therapy (PDT) and other therapeutic tools can significantly enhance the tumor-killing ability and has been widely used in the development of therapeutic platforms. Copper sulfide nanoparticle (CuS NP) photothermal reagents have the advantages of low toxicity and simple synthesis; therefore, combining CuS NPs with PDT photosensitizers is an effective strategy to construct a PTT/PDT combination therapeutic platform. However, PDT photosensitizers and photothermal agents generally assembled through hydrophobic interaction, suffer from low coating efficiency or the risk of drug leakage, thus seriously restricting their applications. To address these challenges, CuS NPs with excellent photothermal conversion performance were selected as the core material to prepare CuS@COF nanosheets through a dual-ligand assistant strategy with 4,7-bis(4-aminophenyl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) and 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde (TP). As a PTT/PDT combination therapeutic platform, CuS@COF nanosheets possess a porous TP-BDT-based COF shell, and it can sufficiently contact oxygen to provide high singlet oxygen (1O2) yield under 505 nm laser irradiation. Upon illumination with a 1064 nm laser, CuS@COF nanosheets can effectively convert the photon energy into thermal energy with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 63.4%. The results of the CCK8 experiment showed that the phototoxicity of the PTT/PDT combination treatment reached 85.1%, which was much higher than the effect of a single treatment. It was also confirmed in vivo that the tumor inhibition effect of the PDT/PTT combination treatment group was much greater than that of the single treatment group.

Near-Infrared-II Fluorophore with Inverted Dependence of Fluorescence Quantum Yield on Polarity as Potent Phototheranostics for Fluorescence-Image-Guided Phototherapy of Tumors. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2209647.

Abstract
Organic phototheranostics simultaneously having fluorescence in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window, and photothermal and photodynamic functions possess great prospects in tumor diagnosis and therapy. However, such phototheranostics generally suffer from low brightness and poor photodynamic performance due to severe solvatochromism. Herein, an organic NIR-II fluorophore AS1, which possesses an inverted dependence of fluorescence quantum yield on polarity, is reported to serve as potent phototheranostics for tumor diagnosis and therapy. After encapsulation of AS1 into nanostructures, the obtained phototheranostics (AS1R ) exhibit high extinction coefficients (e.g., 68200 L mol-1 cm-1 at 808 nm), NIR-II emission with high fluorescence quantum yield up to 4.7% beyond 1000 nm, photothermal conversion efficiency of ≈65%, and 1 O2 quantum yield up to 4.1%. The characterization of photophysical properties demonstrates that AS1R is superior to other types of organic phototheranostics in brightness, photothermal effect, and photodynamic performance at the same mass concentration. The excellent phototheranostic performance of AS1R enables clear visualization and complete elimination of tumors using a single and low injection dose. This study demonstrates the merits and prospects of NIR-II fluorophore with inverted polarity dependence of fluorescence quantum yield as high-performance phototheranostic agents for fluorescence imaging and phototherapy of tumors.

Molecular Engineering Design of Enhanced Donor-Acceptor Therapeutic Reagent for Efficient Image-Guided Photodynamic Therapy. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2301035.

Abstract
The greatest barrier to the further development and clinical application of tumor image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT), is the inconsistency between the fluorescence intensity and singlet oxygen generation yield of the photosensitizer under light excitation. Herein, a novel donor-acceptor (D-A) system is designed from the point of molecular selection by wrapping a classical porphyrin molecule (5,10,15,20-tetraphenylphorphyrin, H2 TPP) as an acceptor into conjugated polymer (Poly[N,N'-bis(4-butylpheny)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine], ADS254BE) as a donor through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism, which exhibits bright red emission centered at 650 nm (quantum yield, 0.12), relatively large Stoke shift of 276 nm, enhanced singlet oxygen generation rate of 0.73, and excellent photostability. The investigations on distribution and killing effect of nanomaterials in cancer cells reveal that ADS254BE/H2 TPP NPs can accumulate in the cytoplasm for imaging while simultaneously producing a large amount of singlet oxygen to remarkably kill cancer cells, which can be used for real-time image-guided PDT. In the xenograft tumor model, real-time imaging and long-term tracing in tumor tissue with ADS254BE/H2 TPP NPs disclose that the growth of lung cancer in mice can be effectively inhibited during in situ imaging. From the standpoint of molecular engineering design, this work provides a feasible strategy for novel D-A systems to improve the development of image-guided PDT.

Abstract
Cypate, a heptamethine cyanine dye, is a prototypic near-infrared (NIR) theranostic agent for optical imaging and photothermal therapy. In the present study, a selective, sensitive, and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the quantitation of cypate in mouse plasma. The chromatographic separation was achieved using a short C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 5 μm) with a run time of 5 min. The MS was operated in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode via positive electrospray ionization. The ion transitions for cypate and internal standard IR-820 were m/z 626.3 → 596.3 and m/z 827.4 → 330.2, respectively. The method was linear over a concentration range of 1.0-500 ng/mL. The within-run and between-run precision was less than 14.4% with accuracy in the range of -13.4% ∼ 9.8%. The validated method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of cypate in mice following intravenous administration.

Abstract
Medical imaging, which empowers the detection of physiological and pathological processes within living subjects, has a vital role in both preclinical and clinical diagnostics. Contrast agents are often needed to accompany anatomical data with functional information or to provide phenotyping of the disease in question. Many newly emerging contrast agents are based on nanomaterials as their high payloads, unique physicochemical properties, improved sensitivity and multimodality capacity are highly desired for many advanced forms of bioimaging techniques and applications. Here, we review the developments in the field of nanomaterial-based contrast agents. We outline important nanomaterial design considerations and discuss the effect on their physicochemical attributes, contrast properties and biological behaviour. We also describe commonly used approaches for formulating, functionalizing and characterizing these nanomaterials. Key applications are highlighted by categorizing nanomaterials on the basis of their X-ray, magnetic, nuclear, optical and/or photoacoustic contrast properties. Finally, we offer our perspectives on current challenges and emerging research topics as well as expectations for future advancements in the field.

Abstract
Optoacoustic (photoacoustic) imaging offers unique opportunities for visualizing biological function in vivo by achieving high-resolution images of optical contrast much deeper than any other optical technique. The method detects ultrasound waves that are generated inside tissue by thermo-elastic expansion, i.e., the conversion of light absorption by tissue structures to ultrasound when the tissue is illuminated by the light of varying intensity. Listening instead of looking to light offers the major advantage of image formation with a resolution that obeys ultrasonic diffraction and not photon diffusion laws. While the technique has been widely used to explore contrast from endogenous photo-absorbing molecules, such as hemoglobin or melanin, the use of exogenous agents can extend applications to a larger range of biological and possible clinical applications, such as image-guided surgery, disease monitoring, and the evaluation of drug delivery, biodistribution, and kinetics. This review summarizes recent developments in optoacoustic agents, and highlights new functions visualized and potent pharmacology applications enabled with the use of external contrast agents.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorogens provide new opportunities to promote efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in aggregates, which represent the promising candidates to construct theranostic nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy (PDT), but the size effect has been rarely explored. Herein, a universal method to fabricate organic nanoparticles with controllable sizes is reported and it demonstrates that ≈45 nm is the optimal size of AIE nanoparticles for PDT. Different from conventional Ce6 nanoparticles which show largely reduced fluorescence and ROS generation with increasing nanoparticle size, AIE nanoparticles show gradually enhanced brightness and ROS generation upon increasing the sizes from 6 to ≈45 nm. Further increasing sizes could continue to intensify the nanoparticle's brightness at the expense of ROS production, with the optimal size for ROS generation being achieved at ≈45 nm. Both 2D monolayer cell and 3D multicellular spheroid experiments confirm that 45 nm AIE nanoparticles have the highest cellular uptake, the deepest penetration depth, and the best photodynamic killing effect. Such a study not only manifests the advantages of AIE photosensitizers, but also delivers the optimal size ranging for efficient PDT, which shall provide an attractive paradigm to guide the development of phototheranostic nanoparticles besides molecular design to further promote PDT applications.

Abstract
Single organic small molecule-based nanoparticles (CNPs) with strong responses within the NIR-II (1000-1350 nm) bio-window were prepared, and successfully applied as a highly efficient photothermal antibacterial agent for the first time. CNPs exhibit an outstanding bacteria inhibition efficiency of almost 100% against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) with a high photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE) of circa 49% under NIR-II laser irradiation (1064 nm) for 8 min.

Photothermal and Photodynamic Therapy of Tumors with Plasmonic Nanoparticles: Challenges and Prospects. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:1606. [PMID: 35208145 PMCID: PMC8878601 DOI: 10.3390/ma15041606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death in the world. For a number of neoplasms, the efficiency of conventional chemo- and radiation therapies is insufficient because of drug resistance and marked toxicity. Plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPT) using local hyperthermia induced by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has recently been extensively explored in tumor treatment. However, despite attractive promises, the current PPT status is limited by laboratory experiments, academic papers, and only a few preclinical studies. Unfortunately, most nanoformulations still share a similar fate: great laboratory promises and fair preclinical trials. This review discusses the current challenges and prospects of plasmonic nanomedicine based on PPT and photodynamic therapy (PDT). We start with consideration of the fundamental principles underlying plasmonic properties of AuNPs to tune their plasmon resonance for the desired NIR-I, NIR-2, and SWIR optical windows. The basic principles for simulation of optical cross-sections and plasmonic heating under CW and pulsed irradiation are discussed. Then, we consider the state-of-the-art methods for wet chemical synthesis of the most popular PPPT AuNPs such as silica/gold nanoshells, Au nanostars, nanorods, and nanocages. The photothermal efficiencies of these nanoparticles are compared, and their applications to current nanomedicine are shortly discussed. In a separate section, we discuss the fabrication of gold and other nanoparticles by the pulsed laser ablation in liquid method. The second part of the review is devoted to our recent experimental results on laser-activated interaction of AuNPs with tumor and healthy tissues and current achievements of other research groups in this application area. The unresolved issues of PPT are the significant accumulation of AuNPs in the organs of the mononuclear phagocyte system, causing potential toxic effects of nanoparticles, and the possibility of tumor recurrence due to the presence of survived tumor cells. The prospective ways of solving these problems are discussed, including developing combined antitumor therapy based on combined PPT and PDT. In the conclusion section, we summarize the most urgent needs of current PPT-based nanomedicine.

J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:44. [PMID: 35062957 PMCID: PMC8780402 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01249-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
The overall survival rate of osteosarcoma (OS) patients has not been improved for 30 years, and the diagnosis and treatment of OS is still a critical issue. To improve OS treatment and prognosis, novel kinds of theranostic modalities are required. Molecular optical imaging and phototherapy, including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), are promising strategies for cancer theranostics that exhibit high imaging sensitivity as well as favorable therapeutic efficacy with minimal side effect. In this study, semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPN-PT) for OS-targeted PTT/PDT are designed and prepared, using a semiconducting polymer (PCPDTBT), providing fluorescent emission in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000 - 1700 nm) and photoacoustic (PA) signal in the first near-infrared window (NIR-I, 650 - 900 nm), served as the photosensitizer, and a polyethylene glycolylated (PEGylated) peptide PT, providing targeting ability to OS.
Results
The results showed that SPN-PT nanoparticles significantly accelerated OS-specific cellular uptake and enhanced therapeutic efficiency of PTT and PDT effects in OS cell lines and xenograft mouse models. SPN-PT carried out significant anti-tumor activities against OS both in vitro and in vivo.
Conclusions
Peptide-based semiconducting polymer nanoparticles permit efficient NIR-II fluorescence/NIR-I PA dual-modal imaging and targeted PTT/PDT for OS.

Antibacterial PDT nanoplatform capable of releasing therapeutic gas for synergistic and enhanced treatment against deep infections. Theranostics 2022; 12:2580-2597.

Abstract
Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as an attractive treatment option for efficient removal of pathogenic bacteria. However, aPDT in deep tissue will encounter difficulties such as limited light penetration depth, insufficient oxygen (O2) supply and inability to eliminate inflammation introduced by bacteria, which hinders its clinical application. Herein, the near infrared (NIR) strategy of simultaneously generating O2 and CO was developed for aPDT based antibacterial therapy and mitigation of deep infection inflammation. Methods: We prepared NIR-mediated multifunctional aPDT nanoplatform (POS-UCNPs/ICG) producing therapeutic gas of O2 and CO. The CO, O2 and ROS generation of the nanoplatform were characterized by dye probes, respectively. The antibacterial activity and anti-inflammation of POS-UCNPs/ICG were demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. In addition, the therapeutic effects in vivo were serially analyzed by immunofluorescence staining, Masson's staining, hematoxylin and eosin staining, colony formation units (CFU) and so on. Results: NIR-mediated multifunctional aPDT nanoplatform was realized by combining the up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and partially oxidized SnS2 (POS) nanosheets (NSs) as well as indocyanine green (ICG). Using a single 808 nm light, aPDT can be achieved via ICG molecules, meanwhile, O2/CO can be generated by POS NSs through upconversion light excitation. During the aPDT process, O2 can enhance aPDT, while CO can regulate inflammation through the PI3K/NF-κB pathway. Therefore, POS-UCNPs/ICG groups had a highest percentage of healing area up to 91.55±1.26% in mouse abscess model. Conclusion: Due to enhanced aPDT and anti-inflammatory collaborative therapy, the POS-UCNPs/ICG composites showed remarkably accelerated recovery in animal abscess models. Such NIR light responsive nanoplatform with optimized antibacterial capacity and immunomodulatory functions is promising for clinical therapeutics of bacteria-induced infections.

Abstract
Combination therapy has been widely studied due to its promising applications in tumor therapy. However, a sophisticated nanoplatform and sequential irradiation with different laser sources for phototherapy complicate the treatment process. Unlike the integration of therapeutic agents, we report a FeS2@SRF@BSA nanoplatform for the combination of chemo-combined photothermal therapy (PTT) enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) to achieve an "all-in-one" therapeutic agent. Ultrasmall FeS2 nanoparticles (NPs) with a size of 7 nm exhibited higher Fenton reaction rates due to their large specific surface areas. A photodynamic reaction could be triggered and could generate 1O2 to achieve PDT under 808 nm irradiation. FeS2 NPs also exhibited the desired photothermal properties under the same wavelength of the laser. The Fenton reaction and photodynamic reaction were both significantly improved to accumulate more reactive oxygen species (ROS) with an increase of temperature under laser irradiation. Besides, loading of the chemotherapeutic drug sorafenib (SRF) further improved the efficacy of tumor treatment. To realize long blood circulation, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a carrier to encapsulate FeS2 NPs and SRF, remarkably improving the biocompatibility and tumor enrichment ability of the nanomaterials. Additionally, the tumors on mice treated with FeS2@SRF@BSA almost disappeared under 808 nm irradiation. To sum up, FeS2@SRF@BSA NPs possess good biocompatibility, stability, and sufficient therapeutic efficacy in combination therapy for cancer treatment. Our study pointed out a smart design of the nanoplatform as a multifunctional therapeutic agent for combination cancer therapy in the near future.

Abstract
Multifunctional phototheranostic nanocomposites are promising for early diagnosis and precision therapy of cancer. Aim to enhance their accuracy and efficiency, in this study, we develop a single-laser excited activatable phototheranostic nanocomposite (UCNPs-D-MQ): 808 nm-excited upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) as the matrix programmed assembly with amphipathic compound DSPE-PEG-COOH, a near-infrared absorbing polymer DPP and the pro-photosensitizer MBQB. Upon endocytosed by cancer cells and excited by the 808 nm laser, UCNPs-D-MQ could produce high-yield reactive oxygen species (ROS) as the results of singlet oxygen generation from transferring to methylene blue, GSH depletion and ROS generation from photoactivation. It was proven both in vitro and in vivo that the nanocomposites exhibits remarkable therapeutic efficacy as well as minimal photodamage to normal cells. These results reveal UCNPs-D-MQ as a robust theranostic agent for tumor phototherapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become an alternative to standard cancer treatment methods such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The uniqueness of this method relies on the possibility of using various photosensitizers (PS) that absorb and convert light emission in radical oxygen-derived species (ROS). They can be present alone or in the presence of other compounds such as metal organic frameworks (MOFs), non-tubules or polymers. The interaction between DNA and metal-based complexes plays a key role in the development of new anti-cancer drugs. The use of coordination compounds in PDT has a significant impact on the amount ROS generated, quantum emission efficiency (Φem) and phototoxic index (PI). In this review, we will attempt to systematically review the recent literature and analyze the coordination complexes used as PS in PDT. Finally, we compared the anticancer activities of individual coordination complexes and discuss future perspectives. So far, only a few articles link so many transition metal ion coordination complexes of varying degrees of oxidation, which is why this review is needed by the scientific community to further expand this field worldwide. Additionally, it serves as a convenient collection of important, up-to-date information.

Abstract
Organic semiconductor small molecules IHIC and ITIC have been developed as solar cell materials, and because of their strong near-infrared absorption capabilities, they are promising for cancer phototherapy. This article reports the application of semiconductor small molecule IHIC/ITIC liposomes in photothermal therapy and photoacoustic imaging of tumors firstly. Experiments show that the liposome-loaded IHIC/ITIC material has good biocompatibility and can be effectively enriched in tumor sites. After being irradiated with laser, it can emit strong photoacoustic signals, and has achieved good results in the photothermal treatment of breast cancer mice. We believe that organic semiconductor small molecule IHIC/ITIC will become a promising photothermal agent with wonderful development possibilities.

Abstract
Currently, the in situ on/off switch of PTT/PDT reagents for tumor treatment has evoked considerable interest in the field of cancer therapy. However, the actual PTT/PDT therapy efficacy in tumor treatment is largely restricted by the PTT/PDT reagents' aggregation issues during their release from the hydrophobic carrier to the hydrophilic tumor microenvironment. Thus, it remains a challenge to break through the therapy barrier caused by the PTT/PDT agent aggregation and achieve substantial improvement of anticancer efficacy. In this work, we developed a novel near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive and gas bubble-generated liposomal nanobomb (Cy/Ce6/CO2-Lip-FA) through the co-encapsulation of PTT/PDT reagents with gas precursor into the hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions of liposomes, respectively, in order to overcome the aggregation issues and substantially improve the synergistic PTT/PDT efficacy. Upon arrival at the tumor region, the PS phototoxicity of Cy/Ce6/CO2-Lip-FA could be effectively switched on through CO2 generation induced by the PTT effect of Cypate upon NIR irradiation. The gas bubble burst can remarkably suppress the aggregation of Cypate/Ce6 and extremely enhance the synergistic PTT/PDT efficacy. These results indicate that the proposed NIR-responsive and gas bubble-functionalized liposomal nanobomb is a highly promising platform for tumor treatment with better therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Finding out how to overcome multistage biological barriers for nanocarriers in cancer therapy to obtain highly precise drug delivery is still a challenge. Herein, we prepared a multistage and cascaded switchable polymeric nanovehicle, self-assembled from polyethylene glycol grafted amphiphilic copolymer containing hydrophobic poly(ortho ester) and hydrophilic ethylenediamine-modified poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PEG-g-p(GEDA-co-DMDEA)) for imaging-guided chemo-photothermal combination anticancer therapy. Notably, a novel ATRP initiator containing cyanine dye was designed and attached to the polymer, providing the nanovehicle with NIR-light induced photothermal and fluorescent properties. The PEG shell displayed tumor-microenvironment-induced detachment, resulting in the surface charge change of the nanovehicle from neutral to positive and thus enhancing cellular uptake. Subsequently, the hydrophobic pDMDEA hydrolyzed into a hydrophilic segment in the acidic lysosome, leading to sufficient drug release. Finally, with the aid of the photothermal property, the therapeutic drug DOX successfully escaped from the lysosome to exert chemotherapy. This well-defined polymeric nanoplatform promoted the development of designing novel theranostic polymeric nanovehicles for precise cancer therapy.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanoparticles based on 9,10-distyrylanthracene (DSA) derivatives (4,4'-((1E,1'E)-anthracene-9,10-diylbis(ethene-2,1-diyl))bis(N,N-dimethylaniline) (NDSA) and 4,4'-((1E,1'E)-anthracene-9,10-diylbis(ethene-2,1-diyl))dibenzonitrile (CNDSA)) were prepared using an ultrasound aided nanoprecipitation method. The morphologies of the fluorescent nanoparticles could be controlled by adjusting the external ultrasonication time. NDSA or CNDSA could form spherical nanodots (NDSA NDs, CNDSA NDs) in a THF-H2O mixture with an 80% or 70% water fraction when the ultrasonication time was 30 s. When the ultrasonication time was prolonged to 10 min, NDSA and CNDSA could assemble into nanorods (NDSA NRs, CNDSA NRs). Meanwhile, the sizes of NDSA NRs and CNDSA NRs could be controlled by adjusting the water content in the mixture. As the water fraction was increased from 60% to 80%, the sizes of NDSA and CNDSA nanorods or nanodots reduced from 238.4 nm to 140.3 nm, and 482 nm to 198.4 nm, respectively. When the water fraction was up to 90%, irregular morphologies of NDSA and CNDSA could be observed. The nanoparticles exhibited intense fluorescence emission, good anti-photobleaching properties, as well as excellent stability and biocompatibility. In vitro cell imaging experiments indicated that the nanorods prepared by this simple method had the potential to be used for efficient and noninvasive long-term bioimaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor occurring in children and young adults. Drug-resistant osteosarcoma often results in chemotherapy failure. Therefore, new treatments aimed at novel therapeutic targets are urgently needed for the treatment of drug-resistant osteosarcoma. Mitochondria-targeted phototherapy, i.e., synergistic photodynamic/photothermal therapy, has emerged as a highly promising strategy for treating drug-resistant tumors. This study proposed a new nano-drug delivery system based on near-infrared imaging and multifunctional graphene, which can target mitochondria and show synergistic phototherapy, with preferential accumulation in tumors. METHODS AND RESULTS Based on our previous study, (4-carboxybutyl) triphenyl phosphonium bromide (TPP), a mitochondria-targeting ligand, was conjugated to indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded, polyethylenimine-modified PEGylated nanographene oxide sheets (TPP-PPG@ICG) to promote mitochondrial accumulation after cellular internalization. Thereafter, exposure to a single dose of near-infrared irradiation enabled synergistic photodynamic and photothermal therapy, which simultaneously inhibited adenosine triphosphate synthesis and mitochondrial function. Induction of intrinsic apoptosis assisted in surmounting drug resistance and caused tumor cell death. After fluorescence imaging-guided synergistic phototherapy, the mitochondria-targeting, multifunctional graphene-based, drug-delivery system showed highly selective anticancer efficiency in vitro and in vivo, resulting in marked inhibition of tumor progression without noticeable toxicity in mice bearing doxorubicin-resistant MG63 tumor cells. CONCLUSION The mitochondria-targeting TPP-PPG@ICG nanocomposite constitutes a new class of nanomedicine for fluorescence imaging-guided synergistic phototherapy and shows promise for treating drug-resistant osteosarcoma.

Abstract
A deep penetrating and pH-responsive composite nanosystem was strategically developed to improve the efficacy of synergetic photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) against hypoxic tumor. The designed nanosystem ([PHC]PP@HA NPs) was constructed by coloading hemoglobin (Hb) and chlorin e6 on polydopamine to build small-sized PHC NPs, which were encapsulated inside the polymer micelles (poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ethylenimine)) and then capped with functionalized hyaluronic acid. The pH-responsive feature made [PHC]PP@HA NPs retain an initial size of ∼140 nm in blood circulation but rapidly release small PHC NPs (∼10 nm) with a high tumor-penetrating ability in the tumor microenvironment. The in vitro penetration experiment showed that the penetration depth of PHC NPs in the multicellular tumor spheroids exceeded 110 μm. The [PHC]PP@HA NPs exhibited excellent biocompatibility, deep tumor permeability, high photothermal conversion efficiency (47.09%), and low combination index (0.59) under hypoxic conditions. Notably, the nanosystem can freely adjust the release of oxygen and damaging PHC NPs in an on-demand manner on the basis of the feedback of tumor activity. This feedback tumor therapy significantly improved the synergistic effect of PTT/PDT and reduced its toxic side effects. The in vivo antitumor results showed that the tumor inhibition rate of [PHC]PP@HA NPs with an on-demand oxygen supply of Hb was ∼100%, which was much better than those of PTT alone and Hb-free nanoparticles ([PC]PP@HA NPs). Consequently, the [PHC]PP@HA NP-mediated PTT/PDT guided by feedback tumor therapy achieved an efficient tumor ablation with an extremely low tumor recurrence rate (8.3%) 60 d later, indicating the versatile potential of PTT/PDT.

Abstract
Background Although photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamics therapy (PDT) have both made excellent progress in tumor therapy, the effectiveness of using PTT or PDT alone is dissatisfactory due to the limitations of the penetration depth in PTT and the hypoxic microenvironment of tumors for PDT. Combination phototherapy has currently become a burgeoning cancer treatment. Methods and Materials In this work, a mitochondria-targeting liquid perfluorocarbon (PFC)-based oxygen delivery system was developed for the synergistic PDT/photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer through image guiding. Results Importantly, these nanoparticles (NPs) can effectively and accurately accumulate in the target tumor via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Conclusion This approach offers a novel technique to achieve outstanding antitumor efficacy by an unprecedented design with tumor mitochondria targeting, oxygen delivery, and synergistic PDT/PTT with dual-imaging guidance.

Abstract
Multimodal imaging-guided therapy holds great potential for precise theranostics of cancer metastasis. However, imaging agents enabling the convergence of complementary modalities with therapeutic functions to achieve perfect theranostics have been less exploited. This study reports the construction of a multifunctional nanoagent (FIP-99mTc) that comprises Fe3O4 for magnetic resonance imaging, radioactive 99mTc for single-photon-emission computed tomography, and IR-1061 to serve for the second near-infrared fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, and photothermal therapy treatment of cancer metastasis. The nanoagent possessed superior multimodal imaging capability with high sensitivity and resolution attributing to the complement of all the imaging modalities. Moreover, the nanoagent showed ideal photothermal conversion ability to effectively kill tumor cells at low concentration and power laser irradiation. In the in vivo study, FIP-99mTc confirmed the fast accumulation and clear delineation of metastatic lymph nodes within 1 h after administration. Attributing to the efficient uptake and photothermal conversion, FIP-99mTc could raise the temperature of metastatic lymph nodes to 54 °C within 10 min laser irradiation, so as to facilitate tumor cell ablation. More importantly, FIP-99mTc not only played an active role in suppressing cancer growth in metastatic lymph nodes with high efficiency but also could effectively prevent further lung metastasis after resection of the primary tumor. This study proposes a simple but effective theranostic approach toward lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted tremendous attention due to its noninvasiveness and localized treatment advantages. However, heat shock proteins (HSPs) associated self-preservation mechanisms bestow cancer cells thermoresistance to protect them from the damage of PTT. To minimize the thermoresistance of cancer cells and improve the efficacy of PTT, an integrated on-demand nanoplatform composed of a photothermal conversion core (gold nanorod, GNR), a cargo of a HSPs inhibitor (triptolide, TPL), a mesoporous silica based nanoreservoir, and a photothermal and redox di-responsive polymer shell is developed. The nanoplatform can be enriched in the tumor site, and internalized into cancer cells, releasing the encapsulated TPL under the trigger of intracellular elevated glutathione and near-infrared laser irradiation. Ultimately, the liberated TPL could diminish thermoresistance of cancer cells by antagonizing the PTT induced heat shock response via multiple mechanisms to maximize the PTT effect for cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cell membrane-based nanocarriers are promising candidates for delivering antitumor agents. The employment of a simple and feasible method to improve the tumor-targeting abilities of these systems is appealing for further application. Herein, we prepared a platelet membrane (PM)-camouflaged antitumor nanoparticle. The effects of irradiation pretreatment on tumor targeting of the nanomaterial and on its antitumor action were evaluated. RESULTS The biomimetic nanomaterial constructed by indocyanine green, poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide), and PM is termed PINPs@PM. A 4-Gy X-ray irradiation increased the proportions of G2/M phase and Caveolin-1 content in 4T1 breast cancer cells, contributing to an endocytic enhancement of PINPs@PM. PINPs@PM produced hyperthermia and reactive oxygen species upon excitation by near-infrared irradiation, which were detrimental to the cytoplasmic lysosome and resulted in cell death. Irradiation pretreatment thus strengthened the antitumor activity of PINPs@PM in vitro. Mice experiments revealed that irradiation enhanced the tumor targeting capability of PINPs@PM in vivo. When the same dose of PINPs@PM was intravenously administered, irradiated mice had a better outcome than did mice without X-ray pretreatment. CONCLUSION The study demonstrates an effective strategy combining irradiation pretreatment and PM camouflage to deliver antitumor nanoparticles, which may be instrumental for targeted tumor therapy.

Abstract
Simultaneous photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is beneficial for enhanced cancer therapy due to the synergistic effect. Conventional materials developed for synergistic PTT/PDT are generally multicomponent agents that need complicated preparation procedures and be activated by multiple laser sources. The emerging monocomponent diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based conjugated small molecular agents enable dual PTT/PDT under a single laser irradiation, but suffer from low singlet oxygen quantum yield, which severely restricts the therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we report acceptor-oriented molecular design of a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) conjugated small molecule (IID-ThTPA)-based phototheranostic agent, with isoindigo (IID) as selective acceptor and triphenylamine (TPA) as donor. The strong D-A strength and narrow singlet-triplet energy gap endow IID-ThTPA nanoparticles (IID-ThTPA NPs) high mass extinction coefficient (18.2 L g-1 cm-1), competitive photothermal conversion efficiency (35.4%), and a dramatically enhanced singlet oxygen quantum yield (84.0%) comparing with previously reported monocomponent PTT/PDT agents. Such a high PTT/PDT performance of IID-ThTPA NPs achieved superior tumor cooperative eradicating capability in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Developing technologies that allow the simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of cancer (theragnostic) has been the quest of numerous interdisciplinary research teams. In this context, nanomaterials incorporating prototypic near infrared (NIR)-light responsive heptamethine cyanines have been showing very promising results for cancer theragnostic. The precisely engineered features of these nanomaterials endow them with the ability to achieve a high tumor accumulation, enabling a tumor's visualization by NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging modalities. Upon interaction with NIR light, the tumor-homed heptamethine cyanine-incorporating nanomaterials can also produce a photothermal/photodynamic effect with a high spatio-temporal resolution and minimal side effects, leading to an improved therapeutic outcome. This progress report analyses the application of nanomaterials incorporating prototypic NIR-light responsive heptamethine cyanines (IR775, IR780, IR783, IR797, IR806, IR808, IR820, IR825, IRDye 800CW, and Cypate) for cancer photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and imaging. Overall, the continuous development of nanomaterials incorporating the prototypic NIR absorbing heptamethine cyanines will cement their phototheragnostic capabilities.

Abstract
Oxygen deficient TiO2-x nanoparticles (NPs) have been recognized as a category of new-fashioned photothermal agents to offer safer PTT. However, the surface of TiO2-x NPs is deficient in free active groups or radicals to conjugate functional therapeutic molecules, which seriously impedes their in-depth development for versatile medical applications. In this study, surface activation of TiO2-x NPs was realized by the facile conjugation of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) through the formation of a stable Si-O-Ti bond, and photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) was successfully modified onto the TiO2-x NP surface and with a considerably high loading content. The resultant TiO2-x@APTES/Ce6 (TAC) NPs displayed decent biosafety, rapid tumor enrichment and outstanding performance in photoacoustic (PA) imaging. Taking advantage of the intense photo-absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region and high dose of conjugated Ce6, a powerful antitumor effect was realized based on the combination of hyperthermia-induced cell ablation and cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS)-triggered apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, PA imaging guidance was exceptionally useful for locating the tumor position and optimizing the treatment regimens. Apart from Ce6, this elaborate modification strategy for TiO2-x is believed to be universal for steadily binding more versatile therapeutic agents, which would definitely favor the development of multifunctional TiO2-x-based nanocomplexes for enhanced tumor treatment.

Abstract
A great challenge still remains to explore the facile approaches to construct multifunctional nanoparticles for acquiring precise cancer theranostics. Herein, a biocompatible theranostic nanoplatform capable of simultaneous cancer imaging and therapy is attempted by loading of paclitaxel (PTX) and indocyanine green (ICG) molecules into the matrix of Gd2 O3 @human serum albumin (HSA) nanoparticles (PIGH NPs) via hydrophobic interaction. The subsequent in vitro investigations reveal that the PIGH NPs afford uniform particle size, sustained drug release profile, strong longitudinal relaxivity, potent photothermal effect, effective singlet oxygen generation, and ideal resistance to photobleaching. Moreover, the PIGH NPs achieve high cellular uptake, efficient cytoplasmic drug translocation based on singlet oxygen-triggered endolysosomal disruption and prominent cytotoxicity effect against 4T1 cells under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation in contrast to PTX/ICG-loaded HSA nanoparticles (PIH NPs) and free PTX/ICG. After intravenous injection, the PIGH NPs exhibit preferable tumor accumulation and achieve effective tumor ablation in 4T1 tumor bearing mouse model with excellent dual near-infrared fluorescence/magnetic resonance (NIRF/MR) imaging guided synergistic chemo-phototherapy. Hence, the PIGH NPs can be utilized as potential theranostic nanosystem for simultaneous cancer imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used in the treatment of cancers and other benign diseases for several years in clinic. However, the hypoxia of tumors and the penetration limitation of excitation light to tissues can dramatically reduce the efficacy of PDT to cancers. To overcome these drawbacks, various assembled nanocarriers such as nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanocrystals, and so on were introduced. The assembled nanocarriers have the ability of loading photosensitizers, delivering O2 into tumors, generating O2 in situ in tumors, as well as turning near-infrared (NIR) light, X-rays, and chemical energy into ultraviolet or visible light. Therefore, it is easy for the nanocarriers to improve the hypoxia microenvironment or increase the treatment depth of cancers, which will improve the efficiency of PDT to some degree. In recent years, a number of investigations were focused on these subjects. We will summarize the advances of nanocarriers in PDT, especially in O2 introduction PDT and deep PDT. The perspectives, challenges, and potential in translation of PDT will also be discussed. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Lipid-Based Structures Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

In this review, we focus on recent advances in design of new photosensitizers for increased production of ROS and in genetic engineering of biological photosensitizers to study cellular signaling pathways. A new concept has been proposed that PDT-induced acute inflammation can mediate neutrophil infiltration to deliver therapeutics in deep tumor tissues. Combination of PDT and immunotherapies (neutrophil-mediated therapeutic delivery) has shown the promising translation of PDT for cancer therapies. Furthermore, a new area in PDT is to treat bacterial infections to overcome the antimicrobial resistance. Finally, we have discussed the new directions of PDT for therapies of cancer and infectious diseases. In summary, we believe that rational design and innovations in nanomaterials may have a great impact on translation of PDT in cancer and infectious diseases.

Abstract
Aim: Hollow mesoporous copper sulfide nanocapsules conjugated with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), doxorubicin and chlorin e6 (HPDC) were synthesized for fluorescence imaging and multimodal tumor therapy. Materials & methods: HPDC were synthesized by encapsulating chlorin e6 and doxorubicin into PEGylated nanocapsules via a simple precipitation method. The photothermal/photodynamic effects, drug release, cellular uptake, imaging capacities and antitumor effects of the HPDCs were evaluated. Results: This smart nanoplatform is stimulus-responsive toward an acidic microenvironment and near infrared laser irradiation. Moreover, fluorescence imaging-guided and combined photothermal/photodynamic/chemotherapies of tumors were promoted under laser activation and led to efficient tumor ablation, as evidenced by exploring animal models in vivo. Conclusion: HPDCs are expected to serve as potent and reliable nanoagents for achieving superior therapeutic outcomes in cancer management.

Abstract
X-ray excited photodynamic therapy (X-PDT), which utilizes X-rays as the energy source and X-ray luminescent nanoparticles (XLNPs) as the transducer to excite photosensitizers (PS), resolves the penetration problem of light in traditional PDT to enable the treatment of deep-seated tumors. Nevertheless, the high X-ray dosage used in X-PDT hampers its potential applications in clinics. In this study, to alleviate the dose problem, β-NaLuF4:Tb3+ spherical nanoparticles (NPs) with ultrastrong green X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) due to the less nonradiative relaxation probability and high X-ray absorption mass coefficient, which perfectly matches the absorption spectrum of a photosensitizer named rose bengal (RB), were synthesized and employed as the energy transducer for X-PDT. After covalent conjugation of NPs with RB, high Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET) efficiency up to 94.29% was achieved, leading to high production of singlet oxygen. In vivo X-PDT efficacy was evaluated by nude mice with a HepG2 tumor xenograft. With excellent biocompatibility, the synthesized NPs-RB nanocomposite showed significant antitumor efficiency up to 80 ± 12.3% with a total X-ray dose of only 0.19 Gy, demonstrating the feasibility of low-dose X-PDT in vivo for the first time. The present work provides a promising platform for X-PDT in deep-seated tumors.

Abstract
Background:
Cancer, as one of the most dangerous disease, causes millions of deaths every year. The
main reason is the absence of an effective and thorough treatment. Drug delivery systems have significantly
reduced the side-effect of chemotherapy. Combined with nanotechnology, smart drug delivery systems including
many different nanoparticles can reduce the side-effect of chemotherapy better than traditional drug delivery
systems.
Methods:
In this article, we will describe in detail the different kinds of nanoparticles and their mechanisms
emphasizing the triggering factors in drug delivery. Besides, the application of smart drug delivery systems in
imaging will be introduced.
Results:
Combined with nanotechnology, smart drug delivery systems including many different nanoparticles
can reduce the side-effect of chemotherapy better than traditional drug delivery systems.
Conclusion:
Despite considerable progress in nanoparticle research over the past decade, such as smart drug
delivery systems for the treatment of cancer, molecular imaging probes and the like. The range of nanoparticles
used in multifunction systems for imaging and drug delivery continues to grow and we expect this dilatation to
continue. But to make nanoparticles truly a series of clinical products to complement and replace current tools,
constant exploration efforts and time are required. Overall, the future looks really bright.

Abstract
Phototherapies including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) have emerged as one of the avant-garde strategies for cancer treatment. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a new hybrid imaging modality that shows great promise for real-time in vivo monitoring of biological processes with deep tissue penetration and high spatial resolution. To enhance therapeutic efficacy, reduce side effects and minimize the probability of over-medication, it is necessary to use imaging and diagnostic methods to identify the ideal therapeutic window and track the therapeutic outcome. With this regard, nanotheranostics with the ability to conduct PA imaging and PTT/PDT are emerging. This review summarizes the recent progress of organic nanomaterials including nearinfrared (NIR) dyes and semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) in PA imaging guided cancer phototherapy, and also addresses their present challenges and potential in clinical applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancers is usually inefficient due to the relatively low level of oxygen in cancer cells; therefore, it needs to combine with other treatment strategies such as chemotherapy or photothermal therapy (PTT) to achieve the best anticancer efficacy. Although porphyrin-containing materials have been widely studied for PDT, the photothermal effect is rarely reported. Herein, nanoscale porphyrin-containing covalent organic polymers (PCOPs) were produced via a room temperature solution-based aging method. The resulting nanoparticles possess high photothermal conversion efficiency (21.7%) and excellent photodynamic effect. For the first time, the in vitro and in vivo tests indicated an enhanced antitumor efficacy for PCOP with combined PDT and PTT. This study provides an efficient approach to fabricate nanoCOP and also demonstrates the great potential of porphyrin-containing COP for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Image-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) is an attractive strategy to improve the diagnosis accuracy and treatment outcomes by monitoring the accumulation of photothermal agents in tumors in real-time and determining the best treatment window. Taking advantage of the superior imaging quality of NIR-II fluorescence imaging and remote-controllable phototherapy modality of PTT, we developed a facile macromolecular fluorophore (PF) by conjugating a small-molecule NIR-II fluorophore (Flav7) with an amphiphilic polypeptide. The PF can form uniform micelles in aqueous solution, which exhibit a slight negative charge. In vitro experimental results showed that the PF nanoparticles showed satisfactory photophysical properties, prominent photothermal conversion efficiency (42.3%), excellent photothermal stability, negligible cytotoxicity, and photothermal toxicity. Meanwhile, the PF can visualize and feature the tumors by NIR-II fluorescence imaging owing to prolonged blood circulation time and enhanced accumulation in tumors. Moreover, in vivo studies revealed that the PF nanoparticles achieved an excellent photothermal ablation effect on tumors with a low dose of NIR-II dye and light irradiation, and the process can be traced by NIR fluorescence imaging.
