Abstract
Background Drug therapy for eye diseases has been limited by multiple protective mechanisms of the eye, which can be improved using well-designed drug delivery systems. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) had been used in many studies as carriers of therapeutic agents for ocular diseases treatment. However, no studies have focused on ocular biosafety. Considering that MSNs containing tetrasulfur bonds have unique advantages and have drawn increasing attention in drug delivery systems, it is necessary to explore the ocular biosafety of tetrasulfur bonds before their widespread application as ophthalmic drug carriers. Methods In this study, hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) with different tetrasulfur bond contents were prepared and characterized. The ocular biosafety of HMSN-E was evaluated in vitro on the three selected ocular cell lines, including corneal epithelial cells, lens epithelial cells and retinal endothelial cells (HREC), and in vivo by using topical eye drops and intravitreal injections. Results In cellular experiments, HMSNs caused obvious S content-dependent cytotoxic effect. HMSNs with the highest tetrasulfur bond content (HMSN-E), showed the highest cytotoxicity among all the HMSNs, and HREC was the most vulnerable cell to HMSN-E. It was shown that HMSN-E could react with intracellular GSH to generate H2S and decrease intracellular GSH concentration. Treatment of HREC with HMSN-E increased intracellular ROS, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and induced cell cycle arrest at the G1/S checkpoint, finally caused apoptosis and necrosis of HREC. Topical eye drops of HMSN-E could cause corneal damage. The intravitreal injection of HMSN-E could induce inflammation in the vitreum and ganglion cell layers, resulting in vitreous opacities and retinal abnormalities. Conclusion The incorporation of tetrasulfur bonds into HMSN can have toxic effects on ocular tissues. Therefore, when mesoporous silica nanocarriers are designed for ophthalmic pharmaceuticals, the ocular toxicity of the tetrasulfur bonds should be considered.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have attracted extensive attention as drug delivery systems because of their unique meso-structural features (high specific surface area, large pore volume, and tunable pore structure), easily modified surface, high drug-loading capacity, and sustained-release profiles. However, the enduring and non-specific enrichment of MSNs in healthy tissues may lead to toxicity due to their slow degradability and hinder their clinical application. The emergence of degradable MSNs provided a solution to this problem. The understanding of strategies to regulate degradation and clearance of these MSNs for promoting clinical trials and expanding their biological applications is essential. Here, a diverse variety of degradable MSNs regarding considerations of physiochemical properties and doping strategies of degradation, the biodistribution of MSNs in vivo, internal clearance mechanism, and adjusting physical parameters of clearance are highlighted. Finally, an overview of these degradable and clearable MSNs strategies for biosafety is provided along with an outlook of the encountered challenges.

Abstract
Breast cancer remains a malignancy that poses a serious threat to human health worldwide. Chemotherapy is one of the most widely effective cancer treatments in clinical practice, but it has some drawbacks such as poor targeting, high toxicity, numerous side effects, and susceptibility to drug resistance. For auto-amplified tumor therapy, a nanoparticle designated GDTF is prepared by wrapping gambogic acid (GA)-loaded dendritic porous silica nanoparticles (DPSNs) with a tannic acid (TA)-Fe(III) coating layer. GDTF possesses the properties of near-infrared (NIR)-enhanced and pH/glutathione (GSH) dual-responsive drug release, photothermal conversion, GSH depletion and hydroxyl radical (·OH) production. When GDTF is exposed to NIR laser irradiation, it can effectively inhibit cell proliferation and tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo with limited toxicity. This may be due to the synergistic effect of enhanced tumor accumulation, and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, GSH depletion, and TrxR activity reduction. This study highlights the enormous potential of auto-amplified tumor therapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is crucial in oncology for combating malignant tumors but often encounters obatacles such as severe adverse effects, drug resistance, and biocompatibility issues. The advantages of degradable silica nanoparticles in tumor diagnosis and treatment lie in their ability to target drug delivery, minimizing toxicity to normal tissues while enhancing therapeutic efficacy. Moreover, their responsiveness to both endogenous and exogenous stimuli opens up new possibilities for integrating multiple treatment modalities. This review scrutinizes the burgeoning utility of degradable silica nanoparticles in combination with chemotherapy and other treatment modalities. Commencing the elucidation of degradable silica synthesis and degradation mechanisms, emphasis is placed on the responsiveness of these materials to endogenous (e.g., pH, redox reactions, hypoxia, and enzymes) and exogenous stimuli (e.g., light and high-intensity focused ultrasound). Moreover, this exploration delves into strategies harnessing degradable silica nanoparticles in chemotherapy alone, coupled with radiotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, gas therapy, immunotherapy, starvation therapy, and chemodynamic therapy, elucidating multimodal synergies. Concluding with an assessment of advances, challenges, and constraints in oncology, despite hurdles, future investigations are anticipated to augment the role of degradable silica in cancer therapy. These insights can serve as a compass for devising more efficacious combined tumor treatment strategies.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles have emerged as promising candidates in the field of nanomedicine due to their remarkable versatility and customizable properties. However, concerns about their potential toxicity in healthy tissues and organs have hindered their widespread clinical translation. To address this challenge, significant attention has been directed toward a specific subset of silica nanoparticles, namely degradable silica nanoparticles, primarily because of their excellent biocompatibility and responsive biodegradability. In this review, we provide a comprehensive understanding of degradable silica nanoparticles, categorizing them into two distinct groups: inorganic species-doped and organic moiety-doped silica nanoparticles based on their framework components. Next, the recent progress of tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive degradable silica nanoparticles for precision theranostic applications is summarized in detail. Finally, current bottlenecks and future opportunities of theranostic nanomedicines based on degradable silica nanoparticles in clinical applications are also outlined and discussed. The aim of this comprehensive review is to shed light on the potential of degradable silica nanoparticles in addressing current challenges in nanomedicine, offering insights into their design, applications in tumor diagnosis and treatment, and paving the way for future advancements in clinical theranostic nanomedicines.

Abstract
Mutations in nuclear and mitochondrial genes are responsible for severe chronic disorders such as mitochondrial myopathies. Gene therapy using antisense oligonucleotides is a promising strategy to treat mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diseases by blocking the replication of the mutated mtDNA. However, transport vehicles are needed for intracellular, mitochondria-specific transport of oligonucleotides. Nanoparticle (NP) based vectors such as large pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (LP) often rely on surface complexation of oligonucleotides exposing them to nucleases and limiting mitochondria targeting and controlled release ability. In this work, stable, fluorescent, hollow silica nanoparticles (HSN) that encapsulate and protect oligonucleotides in the hollow core were synthesized by a facile one-pot procedure. Both rhodamine B isothiocyanate and bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]tetrasulfide were incorporated in the HSN matrix by co-condensation to enable cell tracing, intracellular-specific degradation and controlled oligonucleotide release. We also synthesized LP as a benchmark to compare the oligonucleotide loading and release efficacy of our HSN. Mitochondria targeting was enabled by NP functionalization with cationic, lipophilic Triphenylphosphine (TPP) and, for the first time a fusogenic liposome based carrier, previously reported under the name MITO-Porter. HSN exhibited high oligonucleotide incorporation ratios and release dependent on intracellular degradation. Further, MITO-Porter capping of our NP enabled delayed, glutathione (GSH) responsive oligonucleotide release and mitochondria targeting at the same efficiency as TPP functionalized NP. Overall, our NP are promising vectors for anti-gene therapy of mtDNA disease as well as many other monogenic disorders worldwide.

Abstract
The rapid scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by glutathione (GSH) and insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor cells are the major factors greatly restricting the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Herein, we developed a tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive Cu-based metal-mesoporous organosilica nanoplatform integrating vitamin k3 (VK3), which could deplete GSH and specifically regenerate H2O2 for amplified CDT of cancer. Once the CuO@MON-PEG/VK3 nanoparticles entered into the tumor cells through enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, the organosilicon shell and CuO core would be successively degraded upon the triggering of GSH and endo/lysosomal acidity. Subsequently, the enriched tetrasulfide bridges and released Cu2+ could consume GSH substantially, thus triggering Fenton-like reaction for CDT. Furthermore, the released VK3 could be catalyzed by the highly expressed quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) inside tumor cells to generate sufficient H2O2 through a "reversible" redox cycle, which in turn promoted Cu+-mediated Fenton-like reaction. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that this nanoplatform could achieve synergistic CDT against tumor through synergistic cycling regeneration of ROS and dual GSH exhaustion with excellent biosafety. Our finding highlight the promising potential of CuO@MON-PEG/VK3 nanoplatform with multiple oxidative stress amplification for highly efficient tumor therapy.

Abstract
Notwithstanding that immunotherapy has made eminent clinical breakthroughs, activating the immunogenicity and breaking the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME) remains tempting yet challenging. Herein, a customized-designed immunostimulant is engineered for attenuating ITME and eliciting an immune response to address this challenge head-on. This immunostimulant is equipped with dual silica layers coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as nanocarriers modified with endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeted molecular N-p-Tosylglycine, in which the dense silica for chlorin e6 (Ce6) and the glutathione (GSH)-responsive degradable silica for loading resveratrol (RES) - (UCSMRER ). On the one hand, this precise ER-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ under the 980 nm laser irradiation, which not only induced severe cell death directly but also caused intense ER stress-based immunogenic cell death (ICD). On the other hand, tumor hypoxia aggravated by the PDT is alleviated by RES released on-demand, which reduced oxygen consumption by impairing the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). This integrated precise ER-targeted and oxygen-compensated strategy maximized the PDT effect and potentiated ICD-associated immunotherapy, which availed to attenuate ITME, activate tumor immunogenicity, and further magnify the anti-tumor effect. This innovative concept about PDT and immunotherapy sheds light on cancer-related clinical application.

Abstract
Malignant bone tumors are characterized by severe disability rate, mortality rate, and heavy recurrence rate owing to the complex pathogenesis and insidious disease progression, which seriously affect the terminal quality of patients' lives. Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as an attractive adjunctive treatment offering prominent hyperthermal therapeutic effects to enhance the effectiveness of surgical treatment and avoid recurrence. Simultaneously, various advanced biomaterials with photothermal capacity are currently created to address malignant bone tumors, performing distinctive biological functions, including nanomaterials, bioceramics (BC), polymers, and hydrogels et al. Furthermore, PTT-related combination therapeutic strategies can provide more significant curative benefits by reducing drug toxicity, improving tumor-killing efficiency, stimulating anti-cancer immunity, and improving immune sensitivity relative to monotherapy, even in complex tumor microenvironments (TME). This review summarizes the current advanced biomaterials applicable in PTT and relevant combination therapies on malignant bone tumors for the first time. The multiple choices of advanced biomaterials, treatment methods, and new prospects for future research in treating malignant bone tumors with PTT are generalized to provide guidance.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have attracted the attention of chemists, who have developed numerous systems for the encapsulation of a plethora of molecules, allowing the use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles for biomedical applications. MSNs have been extensively studied for their use in nanomedicine, in applications such as drug delivery, diagnosis, and bioimaging, demonstrating significant in vivo efficacy in different preclinical models. Nevertheless, for the transition of MSNs into clinical trials, it is imperative to understand the characteristics that make MSNs effective and safe. The biosafety properties of MSNs in vivo are greatly influenced by their physicochemical characteristics such as particle shape, size, surface modification, and silica framework. In this review, we compile the most relevant and recent progress in the literature up to the present by analyzing the contributions on biodistribution, biodegradability, and clearance of MSNs. Furthermore, the ongoing clinical trials and the potential challenges related to the administration of silica materials for advanced therapeutics are discussed. This approach aims to provide a solid overview of the state-of-the-art in this field and to encourage the translation of MSNs to the clinic.

Abstract
Cancer, a disease notorious for its difficult therapy regimen, has long puzzled researchers. Despite attempts to cure cancer using surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, their effectiveness is limited. Recently, photothermal therapy (PTT), a rising strategy, has gained attention. PTT can increase the surrounding temperature of cancer tissues and cause damage to them. Fe is widely used in PTT nanostructures due to its strong chelating ability, good biocompatibility, and the potential to induce ferroptosis. In recent years, many nanostructures incorporating Fe3+ have been developed. In this article, we summarize PTT nanostructures containing Fe and introduce their synthesis and therapy strategy. However, PTT nanostructures containing Fe are still in their infancy, and more effort must be devoted to improving their effectiveness so that they can eventually be used in clinics.

Abstract
Competitive consumption of nutrients between rapidly proliferating cancer cells and T cells results in an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and nutrient deprivation of T cells, which can cause low response rate and resistance to immunotherapies. In this study, we proposed a dual-mechanism based nutrient partitioning nanoregulator (designated as DMNPN), which can simultaneously regulate the immunosuppressive TME and enhance T cell nutrient availability. DMNPN consists of a charge-reversal biodegradable mesoporous silica, encapsulating glycolysis inhibitor lonidamine, and small interfering RNA against glutaminase. Through inhibiting glycolysis to decrease the lactic acid production and downregulating glutaminase expression to reduce the uptake of glutamine by tumor cells, DMNPN enables effective remodeling of metabolism and nutrient partitioning, which alleviates the immunosuppressive TME and boosts nutrient availability for T cells with enhanced antitumor immunity. Such a nutrient partitioning nanoregulator can effectively inhibit the growth of anti-programmed death receptor 1 (anti-PD-1) resistant tumors and prevent tumor metastasis and recurrence. Overall, this dual-mechanism based nutrient reallocation strategy provides a promising approach for cancer therapy.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Construction of dual gatekeepers-functionalized mesoporous organic silica nanoparticles (MONs) with both physical and chemical mechanisms for modulated drug delivery properties provides one solution to the extracellular stability vs. intracellular high therapeutic efficiency of MONs that hold great potential for clinical translations. EXPERIMENTS We reported herein facile construction of diselenium-bridged MONs decorated with dual gatekeepers, i.e., azobenzene (Azo)/polydopamine (PDA) for both physical and chemical modulated drug delivery properties. Specifically, Azo can act as a physical barrier to block DOX in the mesoporous structure of MONs for extracellular safe encapsulation. The PDA outer corona serves not only as a chemical barrier with acidic pH-modulated permeability for double insurance of minimized DOX leakage in the extracellular blood circulation but also for inducing a PTT effect for synergistic PTT and chemotherapy of breast cancer. FINDINGS An optimized formulation, DOX@(MONs-Azo3)@PDA resulted in approximately 1.5 and 2.4 fold lower IC50 values than DOX@(MONs-Azo3) and (MONs-Azo3)@PDA controls in MCF-7 cells, respectively, and further mediated complete tumor eradication in 4T1 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice with insignificant systematic toxicity due to the synergistic PTT and chemotherapy with enhanced therapeutic efficiency.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is an attractive approach for cancer therapy, while its antitumor efficacy is still limited, especially for non-immunogenic tumors. Nanomedicines can be utilized to convert the non-immunogenic "cold" tumors to immunogenic "hot" tumors via inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), thereby promoting the antitumor immune response. Some nanomedicines that can produce local heat and reactive oxygen species upon the stimulation of electromagnetic energy are the main candidates for inducing the ICD effect. However, their applications are often restricted due to the poor tissue penetration depths of electromagnetic energy, such as light. By contrast, ultrasound, X-ray, alternating magnetic field, and microwave show excellent tissue penetration depths and thereby can be used for sonodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, magnetic hyperthermia therapy, and microwave ablation therapy, all of which can effectively induce ICD. Herein, the combination of deep-tissue electromagnetic energy with nanomedicines for inducing ICD and cancer immunotherapy are summarized. In particular, the designs of nanomedicines to amplify ICD effect in the presence of deep-tissue electromagnetic energy and sensitize tumors to various immunotherapies will be discussed. At the end of this review, a brief conclusion and discussion of current challenges and further perspectives in this subfield are provided.

Abstract
Hollow mesoporous nanoparticles with controllable size (less than 100 nm) are desired as drug-delivery carriers. Herein, we report the synthesis of monodispersed hollow mesoporous organosilica (HMOS) and hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) nanoparticles using soft and hard templating methods. HMOS shells, with 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTEE) as the precursor and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as the soft templates, were formed on monodispersed silica nanoparticles (SNPs), which were used as the hard templates. HMOS and HMS nanoparticles were obtained by removing the SNPs after three rounds of ammonia dialysis. The hollow size of HMOS can be tuned by changing the size of the SNPs. By using SNPs with a size of 36.5 nm, hollow spaces of approximately 20 nm connected the surface through narrow pores (<5 nm). Mesopores of approximately 12 nm were formed by the surfactant micelles. Additionally, the interparticle space in HMOS and HMS was approximately 12 nm. The shell thicknesses of HMOS and HMS could be tuned in the range of 5-9 nm by changing the BTEE amount. Moreover, the amount of surfactant used varied the porous structure. The HMOS with a thickness of 5 nm exhibited a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 268 m2/g and a total pore volume of 1.14 cm3/g. Meanwhile, HMS demonstrated a BET surface area of 553 m2/g and a total pore volume of 1.82 cm3/g while maintaining a hollow structure. HMOS displayed a high loading capacity for ibuprofen (3009 mg/g), and its drug release system showed a sustained-release property. Therefore, the HMOS preparation using hard and soft templates proposed herein can control the hollow size and shell thickness for drug-delivery applications.

[PMID: 36925023 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
Ovarian cancer is a kind of malignant tumour which locates in the pelvic cavity without typical clinical symptoms in the early stages. Most patients are diagnosed in the late stage while about 60 % of them have suffered from the cancer cells spreading in the abdominal cavity. The high recurrence rate and mortality seriously damage the reproductive needs and health of women. Although recent advances in therapeutic regimes and other adjuvant therapies improved the overall survival of ovarian cancer, overcoming metastasis has still been a challenge and is necessary for achieving cure of ovarian cancer. To present potential targets and new strategies for curbing the occurrence of ovarian metastasis and the treatment of ovarian cancer after metastasis, the first section of this paper explained the metastatic mechanisms of ovarian cancer comprehensively. Nanomedicine, not limited to drug delivery, offers opportunities for metastatic ovarian cancer therapy. The second section of this paper emphasized the advantages of various administration routes of nanodrugs in metastatic ovarian cancer therapy. Furthermore, the third section of this paper focused on advances in nanotechnology-integrated strategies for targeting metastatic ovarian cancer based on the metastatic mechanisms of ovarian cancer. Finally, the challenges and prospects of nanotherapeutics for ovarian cancer metastasis therapy were evaluated. In general, the greatest emphasis on using nanotechnology-based strategies provides avenues for improving metastatic ovarian cancer outcomes in the future.

Abstract
Biopolymers with excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability show great potential for designing drug nanocarriers, while it's difficult to fabricate smart vehicles with multiple switching (size, surface, shape) based on biopolymers alone. Here, we report a dual size/charge-switchable and multi-responsive doxorubicin-loaded gelatin-based nanocluster (DOX-icluster) for improved tumor penetration and targeted anti-tumor therapy. The DOX-icluster was electrostatically assembled from folic acid and dimethylmaleic anhydride modified gelatin (FA-GelDMA) and small-sized DOX-loaded NH2 modified hollow mesoporous organosilicon nanoparticles (DOX-HMON-NH2). DOX-icluster had an initial size of about 199 nm at neutral pH. After accumulation in tumor tissue, the DMA bond of FA-GelDMA was cleaved and gelatin was degraded by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2), thus 48 nm and positively charged DOX-HMON-NH2 was released to facilitate penetration and cell internalization. DOX-HMON-NH2 was further degraded by intracellular glutathione (GSH) with releasing 48.1 % of DOX. The cellular uptake results indicated that the fabricated icluster promoted the uptake of DOX by 4T1 cells. With enhanced penetration efficacy, the tumor spheroids volume treated with DOX-icluster was reduced to 15.1 % on day 7. This cytocompatible multi-responsive gelatin-based icluster with size-shrinking and charge-reversible characteristics may be used as a significant drug carrier for tumor therapy.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can efficiently kill cancer cells by producing hydroxyl radical (•OH), a kind of high-toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), via Fenton or Fenton-like reactions. This study involved a versatile nanomedicine, MSN@DOX/GA-Fe/PDA (M@DGP), delivered via microneedles, which was expected to combine chemodynamic/photothermal/chemotherapy and efficiently increase ROS accumulation to achieve significant therapeutic efficacy against melanoma. EXPERIMENTS The composition of the synthesized nanoparticles was confirmed by a series of characterizations including transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and zeta potential. The photothermal properties of the nanomedicine was evaluated via infrared imaging, and •OH-producing ability was evaluated by UV-Vis and electron spin resonance. The mechanisms of ROS accumulation were studied in B16 cells by detecting intracellular •OH, glutathione, and ROS levels. The drug-loaded microneedles (M@DGP-MNs) were prepared, and their morphology and mechanical strength were characterized. The in vivo antimelanoma effect and biosafety evaluation of the nanomedicine were investigated in tumor-bearing C57 mice. FINDINGS M@DGP was successfully prepared and could achieve ROS accumulation through a photothermal-enhanced Fenton reaction, polydopamine-induced glutathione consumption, and doxorubicin-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction which induced oxidative stress and apoptosis of tumor cells. M@DGP-MNs showed superior antitumor efficacy and good biosafety, providing a promising strategy for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
For people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), systemic chemotherapy remains the only choice of palliative treatment. However, chemotherapy efficacy is not effective due to its short blood circulation times, nonspecific cell and tissue biodistribution, and rapid metabolism or excretion from the body. Therefore, a targeted nanomedicine delivery system is urgently needed.
Methods
In order to improve the treatment efficiency of HCC, based on in situ growth of a copper metal organic framework on mesoporous organic silica nanoparticles, dual pH- and glutathione (GSH)-responsive multifunctional nanocomposites were synthesized as nanocarriers for enhanced HCC therapy. In this research, cellular uptake studies were performed using CLSM and Bio-TEM observations. Flow cytometry, AO-EB fluorescent staining, EdU test and Western blot were utilized to explore the apoptosis and proliferation process. In vivo imaging was employed to research the distribution of the nanocomposites in HCC tumor-bearing nude mice and the xenograft model of HCC tumor-bearing nude mice was applied to investigate the anti-tumor effects of drug-loaded nanocomposites in vivo.
Results
This newly constructed degradable nanocomposite DOX/SOR@SP94 and mPEG-anchored MONs@MOF199 (D/S@SPMM) has the benefits of controllable pore size, high encapsulation efficiency, and precise targeting. According to the results of in vivo imaging and anti-tumor studies, as well as pharmacokinetic research, D/S@SPMM possessed precise HCC tumor targeting and long-lasting accumulation properties at the tumor region. Compared with traditional chemotherapy and non-targeted drug delivery systems, anti-tumor efficiency was increased by approximately 10- and 5-fold, respectively. The nanocomposites exhibited excellent anti-tumor properties without inducing observable systemic toxicity, owing to efficient DOX and SOR loading and release as well as the HCC specific targeting peptide SP94.
Conclusions
The in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor results indicated that these nanocomposites could be an efficient nanomedicine for targeting HCC therapy.

Abstract
The multi-stimuli responsive drug delivery system has recently attracted attention in cancer treatments, since it can reduce several side effects and enhance cancer therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we present the intracellular antioxidant (glutathione, GSH), enzyme (hyaluronidase, HAase), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) triggered mesoporous organo-silica (MOS) nanocomposites for multi-modal treatments via chemo-, photothermal, and photodynamic cancer therapies. A MOS nanoparticle was synthesized by two-types of precursors, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl] tetrasulfide (BTES), providing large-sized mesopores and disulfide bonds cleavable by GSH. Additionally, we introduced a new β-cyclodextrin-hyaluronic acid (CDHA) gatekeeper system, enabling nanocomposites to form the specific interaction with the ferrocene (Fc) molecule, control the drug release by the HAase and H2O2 environment, as well as provide the targeting ability against the CD44-overexpressing melanoma (B16F10) cells. Indocyanine green (ICG) and doxorubicin (Dox) were loaded in the MOS-Fc-CDHA (ID@MOS-Fc-CDHA) nanocomposites, allowing for hyperthermia and cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) under an 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. Therefore, we demonstrated that the ID@MOS-Fc-CDHA nanocomposites were internalized to the B16F10 cells via the CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis, showing the controlled drug release by GSH, HAase, and H2O2 to enhance the cancer therapeutic efficacy via the synergistic chemo-, photothermal, and photodynamic therapy effect.

Abstract
Cancer is the second cause of human mortality after cardiovascular disease around the globe. Conventional cancer therapies are chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. In fact, due to the lack of absolute specificity and high drug concentrations, early recognition and treatment of cancer with conventional approaches have become challenging issues in the world. To mitigate against the limitations of conventional cancer chemotherapy, nanomaterials have been developed. Nanomaterials exhibit particular properties that can overcome the drawbacks of conventional therapies such as lack of specificity, high drug concentrations, and adverse drug reactions. Among nanocarriers, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have gained increasing attention due to their well-defined pore size and structure, high surface area, good biocompatibility and biodegradability, ease of surface modification, and stable aqueous dispersions. This review highlights the current progress with the use of MSNs for the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Various stimuli-responsive gatekeepers, which endow the MSNs with on-demand drug delivery, surface modification strategies for targeting purposes, and multifunctional MSNs utilized in drug delivery systems (DDSs) are also addressed. Also, the capability of MSNs as flexible imaging platforms is considered. In addition, physicochemical attributes of MSNs and their effects on cancer therapy with a particular focus on recent studies is emphasized. Moreover, major challenges to the use of MSNs for cancer therapy, biosafety and cytotoxicity aspects of MSNs are discussed.

Abstract
Diverse gases (NO, CO, H2 S, H2 , etc.) have been widely applied in the medical intervention of various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, ischemia-reperfusion injury, bacterial infection, etc., attributing to their inherent biomedical activities. Although many gases have many biomedical activities, their clinical use is still limited due to the rapid and free diffusion behavior of these gases molecules, which may cause potential side effects and/or ineffective treatment. Gas-generating nanoplatforms (GGNs) are effective strategies to address the aforementioned challenges of gas therapy by preventing gas production or release at nonspecific sites, enhancing GGNs accumulation at targeted sites, and controlling gas release in response to exogenous (UV, NIR, US, etc.) or endogenous (H2 O2 , GSH, pH, etc.) stimuli at the lesion site, further maintaining gas concentration within the effective range and achieving the purpose of disease treatment. This review comprehensively summarizes the advancements of "state-of-the-art" GGNs in the recent three years, with emphasis on the composition, structure, preparation process, and gas release mechanism of the nanocarriers. Furthermore, the therapeutic effects and limitations of GGNs in preclinical studies using cell/animal models are discussed. Overall, this review enlightens the further development of this field and promotes the clinical transformation of gas therapy.

Abstract
The combination of functionalized nanoparticles and chemotherapy drugs can effectively target tumor tissue, which can improve efficacy and reduce toxicity. In this article, pPeptide-PDA@HMONs-DOX nanoparticles (phosphopeptide-modified polydopamine encapsulates doxorubicin-loaded hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles) were constructed that based on multiple modification hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMONs). The pPeptide-PDA@HMONs-DOX nanoparticles retain the biological functions of phosphorylated peptide while exhibiting biological safety that are suitable for effective drug delivery and stimulus responsive release. The degradation behaviors showed that pPeptide-PDA@HMONs-DOX has dual-responsive to drug release characteristics of pH and glutathione (GSH). In addition, the prepared pPeptide-PDA@HMONs-DOX nanoparticles have good biological safety, and their anti-tumor efficacy was significantly better than doxorubicin (DOX).

Abstract
Precision therapy has developed as an important strategy for cancer treatment. We have developed an external electric field (EF) controlled targeting drug delivery nanosystem (TDDS) for precision cancer therapy. The electric field responsive targeting drug delivery nanosystem (EFTDDS) is synthesized by functionalizing mesoporous silica with polynitrophenyl-methacrylamide-folate (PNMAFA). The functional molecules grafted in the mesopores effectively encapsulate the drugs in the EFTDDS and control the drug release by nitrylphenyl dipolar responding to electric field. The EFTDDS has achieved high electric field control as demonstrated by the promoted EF-responsive release and the low nonspecific leakage of the doxorubicin. Furthermore, when breast cancer xenograft models on nude mice were treated with EF-stimulated nanomedicine, the tumor-inhibition rate increases to 75%, which is 2.7 times as high as that without electric field stimulation. The EFTDDS is demonstrated biodegradable, biocompatible, and EF remotely controllable, represents excellent inhibiting effect on tumor in vivo, and might become a promising nanomedicine platform for electrodynamic therapy (EDT) in the potential clinical applications.

“Pincer movement”: Reversing cisplatin resistance based on simultaneous glutathione depletion and glutathione S-transferases inhibition by redox-responsive degradable organosilica hybrid nanoparticles.

Abstract
The therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin has been restricted by drug resistance of cancers. Intracellular glutathione (GSH) detoxification of cisplatin under the catalysis of glutathione S-transferases (GST) plays important roles in the development of cisplatin resistance. Herein, a strategy of “pincer movement” based on simultaneous GSH depletion and GST inhibition is proposed to enhance cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Specifically, a redox-responsive nanomedicine based on disulfide-bridged degradable organosilica hybrid nanoparticles is developed and loaded with cisplatin and ethacrynic acid (EA), a GST inhibitor. Responding to high level of intracellular GSH, the hybrid nanoparticles can be gradually degraded due to the break of disulfide bonds, which further promotes drug release. Meanwhile, the disulfide-mediated GSH depletion and EA-induced GST inhibition cooperatively prevent cellular detoxification of cisplatin and reverse drug resistance. Moreover, the nanomedicine is integrated into microneedles for intralesional drug delivery against cisplatin-resistant melanoma. The in vivo results show that the nanomedicine-loaded microneedles can achieve significant GSH depletion, GST inhibition, and consequent tumor growth suppression. Overall, this research provides a promising strategy for the construction of new-type nanomedicines to overcome cisplatin resistance, which extends the biomedical application of organosilica hybrid nanomaterials and enables more efficient chemotherapy against drug-resistant cancers.

Abstract
The development of stimuli-responsively degradable porous carriers for both controlled drug release and high biosafety is vitally important to their clinical translation, but still challenging at present. A new type of porphyrin-iron metal organic framework (Fe-MOF) nanocrystals is engineered here as acid-degradable drug carrier and hydrogen donor by the coordination between porphyrin and zero-valence Fe atom. Fe-MOF nanocrystals exhibit excellent acid-responsive degradation for H2 generation and simultaneous release of the loaded drug for combined hydrogen-chemotherapy of cancer multidrug resistance (MDR) and metastasis and for local hydrogen eradication of the off-target induced toxic side effects of the drug to normal cells/tissues. Mechanistically, released H2 assists chemotherapeutic drug to efficiently inhibit cancer metastasis by immunoactivating intratumoral M1-phenotype macrophages and consequently downregulating the expression of metastasis-related matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and can also downregulate the expressions of both P-glycoprotein (P-gp) protein and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in MDR cancer cells to sensitize chemotherapeutic drug for enhanced damage to mitochondria and DNA. High anti-MDR/antimetastasis efficacies and high biocompatibility endow Fe-MOF nanocrystals and the Fe-MOF-based nanomedicine with high potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Although engineered nanoparticles loaded with specific growth factors are used to regulate differentiation of stem cells, the low loading efficiency and biocompatibility are still great challenges in tissue repair. A nature-inspired biomimetic delivery system with targeted functions is attractive for enhancing cell activity and controlling cell fate. Herein, a stem cell membrane (SCM)-wrapped dexamethasone (DEX)-loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is constructed, which integrates the synthetic nanomaterials with native plasma membrane, to achieve efficient DEX delivery and DEX-mediated bone repair. The DEX@ZIF-8-SCM enables high DEX loading capacity, modulates the sustained release, and facilitates the specific uptake of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), owing to the porous property of ZIF-8 and the innate targeting capability of SCM. The endocytosed DEX@ZIF-8-SCM shows high cytocompatibility and greatly enhances the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing data reveal that the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt signaling pathways are activated and dominantly involved in the accelerated osteogenesis. In the bone defect model, the administrated DEX@ZIF-8-SCM exerts excellent biocompatibility and effectively promotes bone regeneration. Overall, the SCM-derived biomimetic nanoplatform achieves targeted delivery, excellent biosafety, and enhanced osteogenic differentiation and bone repair, which provides a new and valid strategy for treating various tissue injuries.

Abstract
A major impediment in the development of nanoplatform-based ovarian cancer therapy is endo/lysosome entrapment. To solve this dilemma, a hollow mesoporous organosilica-based nanoplatform (HMON@CuS/Gd2O3) with a mild-temperature photothermal therapeutic effect and multimodal imaging abilities was successfully synthesized. HMON@CuS/Gd2O3 exhibited an appropriate size distribution, L-glutathione (GSH)-responsive degradable properties, and high singlet oxygen generation characteristics. In this study, the nanoplatform specifically entered SKOV-3 cells and was entrapped in endo/lysosomes. With a mild near infrared (NIR) power density (.5 W/cm2), the HMON@CuS/Gd2O3 nanoplatform caused lysosome vacuolation, disrupted the lysosomal membrane integrity, and exerted antitumour effects in ovarian cancer. Additionally, our in vivo experiments indicated that HMON@CuS/Gd2O3 has enhanced T1 MR imaging, fluorescence (FL) imaging (wrapping fluorescent agent), and infrared thermal (IRT) imaging capacities. Using FL/MRI/IRT imaging, HMON@CuS/Gd2O3 selectively caused mild phototherapy in the cancer region, efficiently inhibiting the growth of ovarian cancer without systemic toxicity in vivo. Taken together, the results showed that these well-synthesized nanoplatforms are likely promising anticancer agents to treat ovarian cancer and show great potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
We report a simple preparation of inorganic reinforced poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) microcapsules by combining dispersion polymerization and confined cooling-assisted phase separation self-assembly. Silane coupling agent-modified PIL microbeads were first prepared by dispersion polymerization. Then, the microbeads were dissolved in a mixed solvent composed of good solvent and non-solvent to form hollow SiOx microcapsules at a relatively high temperature. Finally, the solution was cooled to induce the nucleation and growth of dissolved PIL chains on the inner and outer surface of hollow SiOx microcapsules to form inorganic reinforced microcapsules with asymmetric PIL/SiOx /PIL sandwich-like shell. The morphology of microcapsules can be controlled by adjusting PIL concentration and cooling rate. The inorganic reinforced microcapsules show enhanced suspended stability and electro-responsive characteristic when used as the dispersed phase of smart suspensions.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) as an emerging reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated antitumor strategy is challenged by the rapid depletion of oxygen, as well as the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Instead of the presently available coping strategies that amplify the endogenous O2 level, we have proposed a biodegradable O2 economizer to reduce expenditure for augmenting SDT efficacy in the present study. RESULTS We successfully fabricated the O2 economizer (HMME@HMONs-3BP-PEG, HHBP) via conjugation of respiration inhibitor 3-bromopyruvate (3BP) with hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMONs), followed by the loading of organic sonosensitizers (hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether; HMME) and further surface modification of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The engineered HHBP features controllable pH/GSH/US-sensitive drug release. The exposed 3BP could effectively inhibit cell respiration for restraining the oxygen consumption, which could alleviate the tumor hypoxia conditions. More interestingly, it could exorbitantly elevate the autophagy level, which in turn induced excessive activation of autophagy for promoting the therapeutic efficacy. As a result, when accompanied with suppressing O2-consumption and triggering pro-death autophagy strategy, the HHBP could achieve the remarkable antitumor activity, which was systematically validated both in vivo and in vitro assays. CONCLUSIONS This work not only provides a reduce expenditure means for enduring SDT, but also represents an inquisitive strategy for tumor treatments by inducing pro-death autophagy.

Abstract
Having benefited from the combination of different therapeutic modalities, functionalized nanoplatforms with synergistic strategies have aroused great interest in anticancer treatment. Herein, an engineered, a biodegradable hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticle (HMON)-based nanoplatform was fabricated for photothermal-enhanced chemotherapy of tumor. For the first time, we demonstrated that HMONs could serve as nanocarriers for co-delivering of both the paclitaxel and photothermal agent new indocyanine green (IR820), denoted as Paclitaxel/IR820@ HMONs-PEG. The as-prepared nanosystem exhibited a high paclitaxel-loading capacity of 28.4%, much higher than most paclitaxel-loaded nanoformulations. Furthermore, incorporating thioether bonds (S-S) into the HMONs' framework endowed them with GSH-responsive biodegradation behavior, leading to the controllable release of drugs under a tumor reducing microenvironment, and hindered the premature release of paclitaxel. Upon being irradiated with an NIR laser, the obtained co-delivery nanosystem exhibited great photothermal properties generated from IR820. The fabricated nanocomposites could significantly suppress tumor growth under NIR laser irradiation, as validated by in vitro and in vivo assessments. Combined with outstanding biocompatibility, the constructed nanosystem holds great potential in combinational antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Cellular defense system represented by glutathione (GSH) greatly weakens the outcomes of cancer therapy by antioxidation and detoxification. GSH depletion has been proved to be an effective way to enhance the efficacy of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based therapies and chemotherapy. However, the existing strategies of GSH depletion still face the problems of unclear biosafety and high complexity of multicomponent co-delivery. In this study, we developed a GSH-depleting carrier platform based on disulfide-bridged mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MONs) to destroy the cellular defense system for cancer therapy. Responding to the high level of GSH in cancer cells, the disulfide bonds in the framework of MONs could be broken and consumed substantial GSH at the same time. Moreover, this process also promoted the degradation of MONs. In order to evaluate the effect of this platform in cancer therapy, chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin was loaded into MONs (Pt@MONs) to treat drug-resistant non-small cell lung cancer. In vitro and in vivo results indicated that Pt@MONs efficiently triggered GSH depletion, promoted platinum-DNA adduct formation, and induced cell apoptosis, resulting in significant tumor growth inhibition without marked toxicity. Taken together, the cellular defense system-destroying nanoparticles provide a promising platform for enhanced cancer therapy.

Abstract
Hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMONs) are widely considered as a promising drug nanocarrier, but the loaded drugs can easily leak from HMONs, resulting in the considerably decreased drug loading capacity and increased biosafety risk. This study reports the smart use of core/shell Fe3O4/Gd2O3 (FG) hybrid nanoparticles as a gatekeeper to block the pores of HMONs, which can yield an unreported large loading content (up to 20.4%) of DOX. The conjugation of RGD dimer (R2) onto the DOX-loaded HMON with FG capping (D@HMON@FG@R2) allowed for active tumor-targeted delivery. The aggregated FG in D@HMON@FG@R2 could darken the normal tissue surrounding the tumor due to the high r2 value (253.7 mM-1 s-1) and high r2/r1 ratio (19.13), and the intratumorally released FG as a result of reducibility-triggered HMON degradation could brighten the tumor because of the high r1 value (20.1 mM-1 s-1) and low r2/r1 ratio (7.01), which contributed to high contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for guiding highly efficient tumor-specific DOX release and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Herein, a feasible outside-in hydrothermal self-transformation strategy is presented to fabricate hierarchically porous benzene-bridged organosilica nanoparticles (HPBONs), and detailed mechanistic investigations were performed to study the formation of hierarchically porous nanostructures. The obtained HPBONs consisted of a mesoporous core (2.3 nm) and a large mesoporous flocculent shell (12.6 nm), which corresponded to an overall diameter of ∼ 200 nm and good water dispersibility, respectively. Owing to the unique hierarchically porous structure and high surface area (877 m2/g), HPBONs showed a high coloading capacity for the hydrophilic drug doxorubicin (DOX) and the hydrophobic photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) (355 µg/mg, 38 µg/mg, respectively) and acid-responsive DOX drug release (42.62%), leading to precise chemo-photodynamic therapy in vitro, as the cytotoxicity assay revealed 70% killing of breast cancer (MCF-7) cells. This research provides a new method to construct hierarchically porous organosilica-based nanodelivery systems.

Abstract
Ordered mesoporous materials and their modification with multiple functional groups are of wide scientific interest for many applications involving interaction with biological systems and biomolecules (e.g., catalysis, separation, sensor design, nano-science or drug delivery). In particular, the immobilization of enzymes onto solid supports is highly attractive for industry and synthetic chemistry, as it allows the development of stable and cheap biocatalysts. In this context, we developed novel silylated amino acid derivatives (Si-AA-NH2) that have been immobilized onto SBA-15 materials in biocompatible conditions avoiding the use of toxic catalyst, solvents or reagents. The resulting amino acid-functionalized materials (SBA-15@AA) were characterized by XRD, TGA, EA, Zeta potential, nitrogen sorption and FT-IR. Differences of the physical properties (e.g., charges) were observed while the structural ones remained unchanged. The adsorption of the enzyme lysozyme (Lyz) onto the resulting functionalized SBA-15@AA materials was evaluated at different pHs. The presence of different functional groups compared with bare SBA-15 showed better adsorption results, for example, 79.6 nmol of Lyz adsorbed per m2 of SBA-15@Tyr compared with the 44.9 nmol/m2 of the bare SBA-15.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is rapidly sweeping through all the vital fields of science and technology such as electronics, aerospace, defense, medicine, and catalysis. It involves the design, synthesis, characterization, and applications of materials and devices on the nanometer scale. At the nanoscale, physical and chemical properties differ from the properties of the individual atoms and molecules of bulk matter. In particular, the design and development of silica nanomaterials have captivated the attention of several researchers worldwide. The applications of hybrid silicas are still limited by the lack of control on the morphology and particle size. The ability to control both the size and morphology of the materials and to obtain nano-sized silica particles has broadened the spectrum of applications of mesoporous organosilicas and/or has improved their performances. On the other hand, adsorption is a widely used technique for the separation and removal of pollutants (metal ions, dyes, organics,...) from wastewater. Silica nanoparticles have specific advantages over other materials for adsorption applications due to their unique structural characteristics: a stable structure, a high specific surface area, an adjustable pore structure, the presence of silanol groups on the surface which allow easy modification, less environmental harm, simple synthesis, low cost, etc. Silica nanoparticles are potential adsorbents for pollutants. We present herein an overview of the different types of silica nanoparticles going from the definitions to properties, synthetic approaches and the mention of potential applications. We focus mainly on the recent advances in the adsorption of different target substances (metal ions, dyes and other organics).

Abstract
BACKGROUND In comparison with traditional therapeutics, it is highly preferable to develop a combinatorial therapeutic modality for nanomedicine and photothermal hyperthermia to achieve safe, efficient, and localized delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs into tumor tissues and exert tumor-activated nanotherapy. Biocompatible organic-inorganic hybrid hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMONs) have shown high performance in molecular imaging and drug delivery as compared to other inorganic nanosystems. Disulfiram (DSF), an alcohol-abuse drug, can act as a chemotherapeutic agent according to its recently reported effectiveness for cancer chemotherapy, whose activity strongly depends on copper ions. RESULTS In this work, a therapeutic construction with high biosafety and efficiency was proposed and developed for synergistic tumor-activated and photothermal-augmented chemotherapy in breast tumor eradication both in vitro and in vivo. The proposed strategy is based on the employment of HMONs to integrate ultrasmall photothermal CuS particles onto the surface of the organosilica and the molecular drug DSF inside the mesopores and hollow interior. The ultrasmall CuS acted as both photothermal agent under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation for photonic tumor hyperthermia and Cu2+ self-supplier in an acidic tumor microenvironment to activate the nontoxic DSF drug into a highly toxic diethyldithiocarbamate (DTC)-copper complex for enhanced DSF chemotherapy, which effectively achieved a remarkable synergistic in-situ anticancer outcome with minimal side effects. CONCLUSION This work provides a representative paradigm on the engineering of combinatorial therapeutic nanomedicine with both exogenous response for photonic tumor ablation and endogenous tumor microenvironment-responsive in-situ toxicity activation of a molecular drug (DSF) for augmented tumor chemotherapy.

Abstract
High intraocular pressure (IOP) has been regarded as a predominant risk factor for glaucoma. Nitric oxide (NO) is shown to lower IOP, but the magnitude and duration of IOP reduction are not satisfying due to the poor cornea penetration of NO drugs and limited NO generation in the trabecular meshwork (TM)/Schlemm's canal (SC) area. Herein, we introduce deep cornea penetrating biodegradable hollow mesoporous organosilica (HOS) nanocapsules for the efficient co-delivery of hydrophobic JS-K (JR) and hydrophilic l-Arginine (LO). The resulting HOS-JRLO can be reduced and oxidized by the ascorbic acid (AA) and catalysis of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in the TM/SC microenvironment to release NO for inducing appreciable IOP reduction in various glaucoma mouse models. In addition to developing an endogenous stimuli-responsive NO nanotherapeutic, this study is also expected to establish a versatile, non-invasive, and efficacious treatment paradigm for precision glaucoma therapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy continues to be the most commonly applied strategy for cancer. Despite the impressive clinical success obtained with several drugs, increasing numbers of (multi)drug-resistant tumors are reported. To overcome this shortcoming, novel drug candidates and delivery systems are urgently needed. Herein, a therapeutic copper polypyridine complex encapsulated in natural nanocarrier apoferritin is reported. The generated nanoparticles showed higher cytotoxicity toward various (drug-resistant) cancer cell lines than noncancerous cells. The study of the mechanism revealed that the compound triggers cell autophagy-dependent apoptosis. Promisingly, upon injection of the nanodrug conjugate into the bloodstream of a mouse model bearing a multidrug-resistant colon tumor, a strong tumor growth inhibition effect was observed. To date, this is the first study describing the encapsulation of a copper complex in apoferritin that acts by autophagy-dependent apoptosis.

Abstract
The efficient and safe delivery of therapeutic drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids are essential for meaningful therapeutic benefits. The field of nanomedicine shows promising implications in the development of therapeutics by delivering diagnostic and therapeutic compounds. Nanomedicine development has led to significant advances in the design and engineering of nanocarrier systems with supra-molecular structures. Smart mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), with excellent biocompatibility, tunable physicochemical properties, and site-specific functionalization, offer efficient and high loading capacity as well as robust and targeted delivery of a variety of payloads in a controlled fashion. Such unique nanocarriers should have great potential for challenging biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, bioimaging techniques, stem cell research, and cancer therapies. However, in vivo applications of these nanocarriers should be further validated before clinical translation. To this end, this review begins with a brief introduction of MSNs properties, targeted drug delivery, and controlled release with a particular emphasis on their most recent diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Inorganic nanomaterials that have inherently exceptional physicochemical properties (e.g., catalytic, optical, thermal, electrical, or magnetic performance) that can provide desirable functionality (e.g., drug delivery, diagnostics, imaging, or therapy) have considerable potential for application in the field of biomedicine. However, toxicity can be caused by the long-term, non-specific accumulation of these inorganic nanomaterials in healthy tissues, preventing their large-scale clinical utilization. Over the past several decades, the emergence of biodegradable and clearable inorganic nanomaterials has offered the potential to prevent such long-term toxicity. In addition, a comprehensive understanding of the design of such nanomaterials and their metabolic pathways within the body is essential for enabling the expansion of theranostic applications for various diseases and advancing clinical trials. Thus, it is of critical importance to develop biodegradable and clearable inorganic nanomaterials for biomedical applications. This review systematically summarizes the recent progress of biodegradable and clearable inorganic nanomaterials, particularly for application in cancer theranostics and other disease therapies. The future prospects and opportunities in this rapidly growing biomedical field are also discussed. We believe that this timely and comprehensive review will stimulate and guide additional in-depth studies in the area of inorganic nanomedicine, as rapid in vivo clearance and degradation is likely to be a prerequisite for the future clinical translation of inorganic nanomaterials with unique properties and functionality.

Abstract
Lack of sufficient tumor penetration of the current nanomedicines is a major reason limiting their clinical success in cancer therapy. In this work, we aimed at the development of a novel biodegradable nanoplatform for the selective and controlled delivery of anticancer agents, with improved tumor permeability and the ability to release ultrasmall nanovesicles in the tumor microenvironment. To this end, positively charged nanogels were obtained through the double-crosslinking of chitosan with an ionic physical gelator and a disulfide-containing chemical crosslinker. After conjugation to an anionic oligomer, the cationic nanogels were transformed into negatively charged nanocarriers (CTCP), enabling effective encapsulation of the cationic anticancer agent doxorubicin (DOX) to generate a biodegradable nanomedicine (DOX@CTCP). DOX@CTCP could maintain sustained DOX release and decreased DOX toxicity. Upon arrival at the tumor tissue, the reductive and lysozyme-high microenvironment drives the cleavage of the nanomedicine to release DOX-carrying nanoblocks of smaller size, which together with their acidic-protonable feature achieves an effective therapeutic delivery into cancer cells. The nanomedicine described here showed excellent biocompatibility/biosafety and enhanced in vivo antitumor efficacy.

[PMID: 33639310 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.02.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2020] [Revised: 02/01/2021] [Accepted: 02/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The past several years have witnessed the blooming of emerging immunotherapy, as well as their therapeutic potential in remodeling the immune system. Nevertheless, with the development of biological mechanisms in oncology, it has been demonstrated that hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) seriously impairs the therapeutic outcomes of immunotherapy. Hypoxia, caused by Warburg effect and insufficient oxygen delivery, has been considered as a primary construction element of TME and drawn tremendous attention in cancer therapy. Multiple hypoxia-modulatory theranostic agents have been facing many obstacles and challenges while offering initial therapeutic effect. Inspired by versatile nanomaterials, great efforts have been devoted to design hypoxia-based nanoplatforms to preserve drug activity, reduce systemic toxicity, provide adequate oxygenation, and eventually ameliorate hypoxic-tumor management. Besides these, recently, some curative and innovative hypoxia-related nanoplatforms have been applied in synergistic immunotherapy, especially in combination with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), immunomodulatory therapeutics, cancer vaccine therapy and immunogenic cell death (ICD) effect. Herein, the paramount impact of hypoxia on tumor immune escape was initially described and discussed, followed by a comprehensive overview on the design tactics of multimodal nanoplatforms based on hypoxia-enabled theranostic agents. A variety of nanocarriers for relieving tumor hypoxic microenvironment were also summarized. On this basis, we presented the latest progress in the use of hypoxia-modulatory nanomaterials for synergistic immunotherapy and highlighted current challenges and plausible promises in this area in the near future. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Cancer immunotherapy, emerging as a novel treatment to eradicate malignant tumors, has achieved a measure of success in clinical popularity and transition. However, over the last decades, hypoxia-induced tumor immune escape has attracted enormous attention in cancer treatment. Limitations of free targeting agents have paved the path for the development of multiple nanomaterials with the hope of boosting immunotherapy. In this review, the innovative design tactics and multifunctional nanocarriers for hypoxia alleviation are summarized, and the smart nanomaterial-assisted hypoxia-modulatory therapeutics for synergistic immunotherapy and versatile biomedical applications are especially highlighted. In addition, the challenges and prospects of clinical transformation are further discussed.
