Abstract
Catalytic nanoparticles (CNPs) as heterogeneous catalyst reveals superior activity due to their physio-chemical features, such as high surface-to-volume ratio and unique optical, electric, and magnetic properties. The CNPs, based on their physio-chemical nature, can either increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level for tumor and antibacterial therapy or eliminate the ROS for cytoprotection, anti-inflammation, and anti-aging. In addition, the catalytic activity of nanozymes can specifically trigger a specific reaction accompanied by the optical feature change, presenting the feasibility of biosensor and bioimaging applications. Undoubtedly, CNPs play a pivotal role in pushing the evolution of technologies in medical and clinical fields, and advanced strategies and nanomaterials rely on the input of chemical experts to develop. Herein, a systematic and comprehensive review of the challenges and recent development of CNPs for biomedical applications is presented from the viewpoint of advanced nanomaterial with unique catalytic activity and additional functions. Furthermore, the biosafety issue of applying biodegradable and non-biodegradable nanozymes and future perspectives are critically discussed to guide a promising direction in developing span-new nanozymes and more intelligent strategies for overcoming the current clinical limitations.

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
Transition metal oxide (TMO)-based nanozymes have appeared as hopeful tools for antitumor applications due to their unique catalytic properties and ability to modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME). The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the latest progress made in the field of TMO-based nanozymes, focusing on their enzymatic activities and participating metal ions. These nanozymes exhibit catalase (CAT)-, peroxidase (POD)-, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-, oxidase (OXD)-, and glutathione oxidase (GSH-OXD)-like activities, enabling them to regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and glutathione (GSH) concentrations within the TME. Widely studied transition metals in TMO-based nanozymes include Fe, Mn, Cu, Ce, and the hybrid multimetallic oxides, which are also summarized. The review highlights several innovative nanozyme designs and their multifunctional capabilities. Despite the significant progress in TMO-based nanozymes, challenges such as long-term biosafety, targeting precision, catalytic mechanisms, and theoretical supports remain to be addressed, and these are also discussed. This review contributes to the summary and understanding of the rapid development of TMO-based nanozymes, which holds great promise for advancing nanomedicine and improving cancer treatment.

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
Due to the typical volatility of gaseous pollutant methyl mercaptan (CH3SH), the development of a facile, reliable, and accurate onsite environmental surveillance of highly toxic CH3SH faces many challenges, but it is critical to environmental atmosphere assessment and safeguarding public health. Here, we prepared a novel bimetallic carbon dots (Fe&Cu@CDs) nanozyme with high peroxidase-mimicking activity to design a portable hydrogel kit for onsite visual H2O2-self-supplying enzymatic cascade catalytic colorimetric and photothermal signal synergistic amplification dual-modal monitoring of CH3SH in atmospheric environment. Assisted by alcohol oxidase (AOX), CH3SH could be specifically converted into H2O2 for oxidizing chromogenic substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) catalyzed by Fe&Cu@CDs to produce dark blue ox-TMB with absorption at 652 nm and photothermal characters. Consequently, a CH3SH concentration-dependent change both in naked-eye color and photothermal effect-triggered temperature were observed. By hybridizing AOX-assisted Fe&Cu@CDs + TMB with agarose, a H2O2-self-supplying colorimetric and photothermal signal synergistic amplification sensory hydrogel kit integrated with Color Picker APP-installed smartphone and 660 nm laser-equipped handheld thermal imager for CH3SH was proposed with acceptable results in atmospheric environment around wastepile (e.g., solid waste and food waste piles), which exhibited great potentials to further develop commercial onsite monitoring platforms in warning-early abnormal atmospheric CH3SH for safeguarding environmental health.

Abstract
As a new form of regulated cell death, ferroptosis has unraveled the unsolicited theory of intrinsic apoptosis resistance by cancer cells. The molecular mechanism of ferroptosis depends on the induction of oxidative stress through excessive reactive oxygen species accumulation and glutathione depletion to damage the structural integrity of cells. Due to their high loading and structural tunability, nanocarriers can escort the delivery of ferro-therapeutics to the desired site through enhanced permeation or retention effect or by active targeting. This review shed light on the necessity of iron in cancer cell growth and the fascinating features of ferroptosis in regulating the cell cycle and metastasis. Additionally, we discussed the effect of ferroptosis-mediated therapy using nanoplatforms and their chemical basis in overcoming the barriers to cancer therapy.

Abstract
Ferroptosis has received increasing attention as a novel nonapoptotic programmed death. Recently, iron-based nanomaterials have been extensively exploited for efficient tumor ferroptosis therapy, as they directly release high concentrations of iron and increase intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. Breast cancer is one of the commonest malignant tumors in women; inhibiting breast cancer cell proliferation through activating the ferroptosis pathway could be a potential new target for patient treatment. Here, we briefly introduce the background of ferroptosis and systematically review the current cancer therapeutic strategies based on iron-based ferroptosis inducers. Finally, we summarize the advantages of these various ferroptosis inducers and shed light on future perspectives. This review aims to provide better guidance for the development of iron-based nanomaterial ferroptosis inducers.

Abstract
In this study, we introduced a multifunctional hollow mesoporous silica-based nanocarrier (HMSN) for the targeted delivery of irinotecan (IRT) to colorectal cancer cells. Due to their large reservoirs, hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles are suitable platforms for loading significant amounts of drugs for sustained drug release. To respond to pH and redox, HMSNs were functionalized with cerium and iron oxides. Additionally, they were coated with bacterial-derived exopolysaccharide (EPS) as a biocompatible polymer. In vitro analyses revealed that cytotoxicity induced in cancer cells through oxidative stress, mediated by mature nanocarriers (EPS.IRT.Ce/Fe.HMSN), was surprisingly greater than that caused by free drugs. Cerium and iron ions, in synergy with the drug, were found to generate reactive oxygen species when targeting the acidic pH within lysosomes and the tumor microenvironment. This, in turn, triggered cascade reactions, leading to cell death. In vivo experiments revealed that the proposed nanocarriers had no noticeable effect on healthy tissues. These findings indicate the selective delivery of the drug to cancerous tissue and the induction of antioxidant effects due to the dual catalytic properties of cerium in normal cells. Accordingly, this hybrid drug delivery system provides a more effective treatment for colorectal cancer with the potential for cost-effective scaling up.

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.

Empowering Cartilage Restructuring with Biodegradable Magnesium Doped-Silicon Based-Nanoplatforms: Sustained Delivery and Enhanced Differentiation Potential. Int J Nanomedicine 2024; 19:491-506.

Abstract
Background Cartilage-related diseases, such as hypoplastic chondrodysplasia a rare genetic disorder that affects newborns, causing abnormal cartilage development and restricted skeletal growth. However, the development of effective treatment strategies for chondrodysplasia still faces significant challenges due to limitations in the controlled drug delivery, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of nanomedicines. Methods A biodegradable magnesium doped-silicon based-nanoplatforms based on silicon nanoparticles (MON) was constructed. Briefly, the MON was modified with sulfhydryl groups using MPTMS to form MOS. Further engineering of MOS was achieved by incorporating Mg2+ ions through the "dissolution-regrowth" method, resulting in MMOS. Ica was effectively loaded into the MMOS channels, and HA was anchored on the surface of MOS to obtain MMOS-Ica@HA nanoplatforms. Additionally, in vitro cell experiments and in vivo zebrafish embryo models were used to evaluate the effect of the nanoplatforms on cartilage differentiation or formation and the efficiency of treating chondrodysplasia. Results A series of characterization tests including TEM, SEM, DLS, XPS, EDX, and BET analysis validate the successful preparation of MOS-Ica@HA nanoplatforms. The prepared nanoplatforms show excellent dispersion and controllable drug release behavior. The cytotoxicity evaluation reveals the good biocompatibility of MOS-Ica@HA due to the sustained and controllable release of Ica. Importantly, the presence of Ica and Mg component in MOS-Ica@HA significantly promote chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs via the Smad5/HIF-1α signaling pathway. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that the nanoplatforms improved chondrodysplasia by promoting cartilage differentiation and formation. Conclusion The findings suggest the potential application of the developed biodegradable MMOS-Ica@HA nanoplatforms with acceptable drug loading capacity and controlled drug release in chondrodysplasia treatment, which indicates a promising approach for the treatment of chondrodysplasia.

Abstract
Inspired by natural catalytic compartments, various synthetic compartments that seclude catalytic reactions have been developed to understand complex multistep biosynthetic pathways, bestow therapeutic effects, or extend biosynthetic pathways in living cells. These emerging nanoreactors possessed many advantages over conventional biomedicine, such as good catalytic activity, specificity, and sustainability. In the past decade, a great number of efficient catalytic systems based on diverse nanoreactors (polymer vesicles, liposome, polymer micelles, inorganic-organic hybrid materials, MOFs, etc.) have been designed and employed to initiate in situ catalyzed chemical reactions for therapy. This review aims to present the recent progress in the development of catalytic systems based on nanoreactors for therapeutic applications, with a special emphasis on the principles and design strategies. Besides, the key components of nanoreactor-based catalytic systems, including nanocarriers, triggers or energy inputs, and products, are respectively introduced and discussed in detail. Challenges and prospects in the fabrication of therapeutic catalytic nanoreactors are also discussed as a conclusion to this review. We believe that catalytic nanoreactors will play an increasingly important role in modern biomedicine, with improved therapeutic performance and minimal side effects.

Abstract
Melanoma is an aggressive kind of skin cancer; its rate has risen rapidly over the past few decades. Melanoma reports for only about 1% of skin cancers but leads to a high majority of skin cancer deaths. Thus, new useful therapeutic approaches are currently required, to state effective treatments to consistently enhance the overall survival rate of melanoma patients. Ferroptosis is a recently identified cell death process, which is different from autophagy, apoptosis, necrosis, and pyroptosis in terms of biochemistry, genetics, and morphology which plays an important role in cancer treatment. Ferroptosis happens mostly by accumulating iron and lipid peroxides in the cell. Recently, studies have revealed that ferroptosis has a key role in the tumor's progression. Especially, inducing ferroptosis in cells can inhibit the tumor cells' growth, leading to back warding tumorigenesis. Here, we outline the ferroptosis characteristics from its basic role in melanoma cancer and mention its possible applications in melanoma cancer treatment. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a newly developed cancer-therapeutic modality that kills cancer cells by the highly toxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) generated from the in situ triggered Fenton/Fenton-like reactions in an acidic and H2O2-overproduced tumor microenvironment (TME). By taking the advantage of the TME-activated catalytic reaction, CDT enables a highly specific and minimally-invasive cancer treatment without external energy input, whose efficiency mainly depends on the reactant concentrations of both the catalytic ions and H2O2, and the reaction conditions (including pH, temperature, and amount of glutathione). Unfortunately, it suffers from unsatisfactory therapy efficiency for clinical application because of the limited activators (i.e., mild acid pH and insufficient H2O2 content) and overexpressed reducing substance in TME. Currently, various synergistic strategies have been elaborately developed to increase the CDT efficiency by regulating the TME, enhancing the catalytic efficiency of catalysts, or combining with other therapeutic modalities. To realize these strategies, the construction of diverse nanocarriers to deliver Fenton catalysts and cooperatively therapeutic agents to tumors is the key prerequisite, which is now being studied but has not been thoroughly summarized. In particular, nanocarriers that can not only serve as carriers but are also active themselves for therapy are recently attracting increasing attention because of their less risk of toxicity and metabolic burden compared to nanocarriers without therapeutic capabilities. These therapy-active nanocarriers well meet the requirements of an ideal therapy system with maximum multifunctionality but minimal components. From this new perspective, in this review, we comprehensively summarize the very recent research progress on nanocarrier-based systems for enhanced CDT and the strategies of how to integrate various Fenton agents into the nanocarriers, with particular focus on the studies of therapy-active nanocarriers for the construction of CDT catalysts, aiming to guide the design of nanosystems with less components and more functionalities for enhanced CDT. Finally, the challenges and prospects of such a burgeoning cancer-theranostic modality are outlooked to provide inspirations for the further development and clinical translation of CDT.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel type of iron-dependent non-apoptotic pathway that regulates cell death and shows unique mechanisms including causing lipid peroxide accumulation, sensitizing drug-resistant cancers, priming immunity by immunogenic cell death, and cooperatively acting with other anticancer modalities for eradicating aggressive malignancies and tumor relapse. Recently, there has been a great deal of effort to design and develop anticancer biocompatible polymeric nanoplatforms including polypeptide and PEGylated ones to achieve effective ferroptosis therapy (FT) and synergistic combination therapies including chemotherapy (CT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), gas therapy (GT) including nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2 S), and immunotherapy (IT). To be noted, the combo therapies such as FT-CT, FT-PTT, FT-GT, and FT-IT are attracting much efforts to fight against intractable and metastatic tumors as they can generate synergistic antitumor effects and immunogenic cell death (ICD) effects or modulate immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments to initiate strong antitumor immunity and memory effects. The polymeric Fenton nano-agents with good biosafety and high anticancer efficacy will provide a guarantee for their applications. In this review, various biocompatible polymer-modified nanoplatforms designed for FT and combo treatments are summarized for anticancer therapies and discussed for potential clinical transitions.

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
Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanospheres have demonstrated great potential as important components in nanomedicine for cancer imaging and therapy. One of the major obstacles that impedes their application is the slow degradation of ingested Fe3O4 nanospheres, which potentially causes long-term health risks. To tackle this issue, we proposed to fabricate Fe3O4 nanospheres with mesoporous structure via a simple self-template etching method. The mesoporous Fe3O4 nanospheres not only offered large specific surface area and weak-acidic responsive degradability, but also exhibited T2-weighted magnetic resonance contrast enhancement and magnetic targeting, which made them possible to serve as excellent cancer therapeutic nanoplatform. Both inorganic photothermal therapeutic Au nanoparticles and organic chemotherapeutic doxorubicin hydrochloride were demonstrated to be successfully loaded onto such kind of nanoplatform, and the hybrid nanomedicine demonstrated synergistic photothermal and chemotherapeutic activity for tumor elimination under near infrared irradiation and improved biodegradability in weak acidic tumor microenvironment. We believe that this study paved a simple way for designing multifunctional Fe3O4-based biodegradable nanomedicine.

Abstract
Various therapeutic strategies, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), and immunotherapy have been applied in cancer therapy. However, intrinsic or acquired therapeutic resistance is the main obstacle that attenuates the treatment effect of the therapeutic reagents used in these strategies. Studies have shown that autophagy and immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), as internal and external resistance mechanisms, would significantly compromise the effectiveness of cancer treatment. Therefore, selectively blocking the autophagy and repolarizing TAMs to anti-tumor phenotype (M1) will be effective for cancer treatments. Herein, an ambidextrous strategy that simultaneously inhibited autophagy and reeducated TAMs to promote anti-tumor therapy meditated by the iron-based nanocarriers was reported. The released Fe (II) ion reacted with the released artemisinin (ART) to produce ROS for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). The chloroquine (CQ) was used to inhibit autophagy in cancer cells and reset TAMs from the M2 phenotype to the M1 phenotype, eliminating the resistance of cancer cells and realizing an augmented therapeutic effect. This work provides a promising way for augmenting therapeutic efficiency by simultaneously interfering with two critical therapeutic resistance mechanisms.

Abstract
Therapeutic bioengineering based on stem cell therapy holds great promise in biomedical applications. However, the application of this treatment is limited in orthopedics because of their poor survival, weak localization, and low cell retention. In this work, magneto-mechanical bioengineered cells consisting of magnetic silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are prepared to alleviate osteoporosis. The magneto-mechanical bioengineered MSCs with spatial localization, cell retention, and directional tracking capabilities could be mediated by a guided magnetic field (MF) in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, high uptake rates of the MSNPs ensure the efficient construction of magnetically controlled MSCs within 2 h. In conjunction with external MF, the magneto-mechanical bioengineered MSCs have the potential for the activation of the YAP/β-catenin signaling pathway, which could further promote osteogenesis, mineralization, and angiogenesis. The synergistic effects of MSNPs and guided MF could also decline bone resorption to rebalance bone metabolism in bone loss diseases. In vivo experiments confirm that the functional MSCs and guided MF could effectively alleviate postmenopausal osteoporosis, and the bone mass of the treated osteoporotic bones by using the bioengineered cells for 6 weeks is nearly identical to that of the healthy ones. Our results provide a new avenue for osteoporosis management and treatment, which contribute to the future advancement of magneto-mechanical bioengineering and treatment.

[PMID: 36931045 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113251] [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: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
Ascorbic acid (AA) is a promising antitumor agent, yet its autooxidation is too slow which constrains the further application. Fortunately, the autoxidation process can be accelerated by transition metal catalysts, especially Fe3+ ions. In this study, AA was loaded to Fe-doped mesoporous silica (designated as AA@Fe-SiO2), which was introduced into poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and then prepared into a scaffold. Mechanistically, AA@Fe-SiO2 degraded in acidic tumor microenvironment because excessive H+ substituted Fe atoms in the iron silicate framework, releasing Fe3+ and AA. The Fe3+ boosted the pro-oxidation reaction of AA, generating numerous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and Fe2+. Then, Fe2+ reacted with H2O2 to initiate Fenton reactions favoring hydroxyl radical generation, triggering oxidative damage on tumor cells to implement tumor-specific therapy. Results showed that the release amount of AA in acidic solution was about 3 times higher than that in neutral solution, which was attributed to the pH-dependency of the degradation of AA@Fe-SiO2 in scaffold. Furthermore, the scaffold generated numerous ascorbate radical intermediate and increased the H2O2 concentration by 120.2%, demonstrating that Fe3+ remarkably accelerated the oxidation rate of AA. Cell experimental results showed that the scaffold caused massive apoptosis of tumor cells, while no obvious cytotoxicity to normal cells, confirming the antitumor specificity of scaffold. This work paves a promising way to construct a biodegradable and catalytic scaffold, featuring effective tumor-specific therapy.

Abstract
Development of a simple and efficient dual-mode analytical technique with the built-in cross reference correction feature is benefit to achieve the highly accurate detection of the target pollutants and avoid the false-positive outputs in environmental media. Here, we synthesized a Fe-doped polydopamine (Fe@PDA)-based nanozyme with prominent peroxide-mimetic enzyme activity and high fluorescence emission ability. On this basis, we designed a dual-recognition strategy-driven fluorescence-colorimetric dual-mode detection platform, consisting of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) recognition aptamer-modified Fe@PDA (apt/Fe@PDA) and vancomycin-functionalized Fe3O4 (van/Fe3O4), for L. monocytogenes. Owing to van/Fe3O4-powered magnetic separation, there was a L. monocytogenes concentration-dependent fluorescence enhancement of apt/Fe@PDA for performing fluorescence assay in the precipitate. In this case, the prominent peroxide-mimetic enzyme activity of the residual apt/Fe@PDA in the precipitation could catalyze H2O2 to further oxidate colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into blue oxTMB, which displayed a L. monocytogenes concentration-dependent absorbance enhancement for carrying out colorimetric assay as well. As a result, a fluorescence-colorimetric dual-mode analytical platform was proposed to successfully detect the residual L. monocytogenes in real environmental media with acceptable results. This work showed the great prospects by integrating dual-recognition strategy into fluorescence nanozyme to develop efficient and reliable dual-mode analytical platforms for safeguarding environmental health.

Abstract
Multiple component integration to achieve both therapy and diagnosis in a single theranostic nanosystem has aroused great research interest in the medical investigator. This study aimed to construct a novel theranostic nanoplatform ferrite and ceria co-engineered mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Fe/Ce-MSN) antioxidant agent though a facile metal Fe/Ce-codoping approach in the MSN framework. The resulted Fe3+-incorporated ceria-based MSN nanoparticles possessing a higher Ce3+-to-Ce4+ ratio than those revealed by ceria-only nanoparticles. The as-prepared Fe/Ce-MSN nanoparticles exhibited an excellent efficiency in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is attributed to improving the superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetics activity by increasing Ce3+ content and maintaining a higher activity of catalase (CAT) mimetics via including ferrite ion in nanoparticles. The fast Fe/Ce-MSN biodegradation, which is sensitive to the mild acidic microenvironment of inflammation, can accelerate Fe/Ce ion release, and the freed Fe ions enhanced T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the inflammation site. PEGylated Fe/Ce-MSN nanoparticles in vitro cell models significantly attenuated ROS-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in macrophages by scavenging overproduced intracellular ROS. More importantly, Fe/Ce-MSN-PEG NPs exhibited significant anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) levels in vitro. Additionally, it can promote the macrophages polarization of pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype towards an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Thus, the novel pH-responsive theranostic nanoplatform shows great promise for inflammation and oxidative stress-associated disease treatment.

Abstract
Ceria-based nanomaterials have aroused major attentions among the biomedical application research field in recent years. Most of the researches have mainly focused on promoting the functional healing therapies of normal cells/organs with cerium oxide compounds, while the applications of ceria-based materials employed on cancer curing processes have been merely mentioned. To explore the possible capabilities of cerium oxide nanomaterials exterminating tumor cells, innovatively, we synthesized the eco-friendly pure cerium oxide nanodots (CNDs), proving the prominent ability of CNDs used in tumor chemotherapy (CDT) via Fenton reaction with the highly presence of H2O2 (acidic pH) in tumor tissues. CNDs reacted with the self-produced H2O2 of tumor cells, which generated piled up toxic hydroxyl radical (·OH). The accumulated virulent ·OH restrained the growth of cancer cells intensively. This peroxidase-like activity, provided a distinguished paradigm for effective cancer curing treatment. We also verified the biosafety of CNDs applied on normal cells. Notably, not only did CNDs be harmless to normal cells, but also it protected them from the damages of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In normal cells/tissues, under the microenvironment of neutral pH and low level of H2O2, the CNDs could effectively function as an annihilator inhibiting ROS. They reduced the damages caused by ROS, exhibiting catalase-like activity. The research we studied, which estimated CNDs thoroughly, has provided a new perspective to the future researches of the cerium oxide biomaterial applications.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a type of cell death that depends on iron and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The accumulation of iron and lipid peroxidation primarily initiates oxidative membrane damage during ferroptosis. The core molecular mechanism of ferroptosis includes the regulation of oxidation and the balance between damage and antioxidant defense. Tumor cells usually contain a large amount of H2O2, and ferrous/iron ions will react with excessive H2O2 in cells to produce hydroxyl radicals and induce ferroptosis in tumor cells. Here, we reviewed the latest studies on the regulation of ferroptosis in tumor cells and introduced the tumor-related signaling pathways of ferroptosis. We paid particular attention to the role of noncoding RNA, nanomaterials, the role of drugs, and targeted treatment using ferroptosis drugs for mediating the ferroptosis process in tumor cells. Finally, we discussed the currently unresolved problems and future research directions for ferroptosis in tumor cells and the prospects of this emerging field. Therefore, we have attempted to provide a reference for further understanding of the pathogenesis of ferroptosis and proposed new targets for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Despite its prominent therapeutic efficacy, chemotherapy has raised serious concerns due to the severe adverse effects and multidrug resistance evoked, which propels the search for safe and green therapeutic agents. BAMLET (bovine α-lactalbumin made lethal against tumor cell) is a well-known protein-based anticancer agent of selective tumoricidal activity. Here, we prepared oleic acid-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (OA-MSNs) conjugated with bovine α-lactalbumin, a lipoprotein complex resembling BAMLET formed on the surface of MSNs (MSN-BAMLET) to load the anticancer drug of docetaxel (DTX). Compared to that of OA-MSNs/DTX, the obtained MSN-BAMLET/DTX with a sustained and pH-responsive drug release behaviors exhibited good biocompatibility and enhanced cytotoxic effect against cancer cells. Moreover, the presence of lipoprotein complex in MSN-BAMLET contributed to the improved dispersion of the composite in solution and the inhibitory effect on the migration of cancer cells. Furthermore, the adsorption profiles of protein corona on the obtained nanoparticles were analyzed. It was found that the marked low amount and abundance of plasma proteins were adsorbed on the α-lactalbumin coated siliceous composite demonstrated its long circulation property. Finally, in vivo study showed that MSN-BAMLET/DTX contributed to the effective cancer ablation and the prolonged survival. Therefore, the constructed MSN-BAMLET of the mesoregular structure and peculiar tumoricidal effect provides a manipulable nanoplatform as drug nanocarrier for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Due to inherent structural defects, common nanocatalysts always display limited catalytic activity and selectivity, making it practically difficult for them to replace natural enzymes in a broad scope of biologically important applications. By decreasing the size of the nanocatalysts, their catalytic activity and selectivity will be substantially improved. Guided by this concept, the advances of nanocatalysts now enter an era of atomic-level precise control. Single-atom catalysts (denoted as SACs), characterized by atomically dispersed active sites, strikingly show utmost atomic utilization, precisely located metal centers, unique metal-support interactions and identical coordination environments. Such advantages of SACs drastically boost the specific activity per metal atom, and thus provide great potential for achieving superior catalytic activity and selectivity to functionally mimic or even outperform natural enzymes of interest. Although the size of the catalysts does matter, it is not clear whether the guideline of "the smaller, the better" is still correct for developing catalysts at the single-atom scale. Thus, it is clearly a new, urgent issue to address before further extending SACs into biomedical applications, representing an important branch of nanomedicine. This review begins by providing an overview of recent advances of synthesis strategies of SACs, which serve as a basis for the discussion of emerging achievements in improving the enzyme-like catalytic properties at an atomic level. Then, we carefully compare the structures and functions of catalysts at various scales from nanoparticles, nanoclusters, and few-atom clusters to single atoms. Contrary to conventional wisdom, SACs are not the most catalytically active catalysts in specific reactions, especially those requiring multi-site auxiliary activities. After that, we highlight the unique roles of SACs toward biomedical applications. To appreciate these advances, the challenges and prospects in rapidly growing studies of SACs-related catalytic nanomedicine are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has attracted increasing attention in tumor treatment but is limited by insufficient endogenous H2O2. Moreover, it is challenging for monotherapy to achieve a satisfactory outcome due to tumor complexity. Herein, we developed an intelligent nanoplatform that could respond to a tumor microenvironment to induce efficient CDT without complete dependence on H2O2 and concomitantly generate chemotherapy and oncosis therapy (OT). The nanoplatform was constructed by a calcium- and iron-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticle (CFMSN) loaded with dihydroartemisinin (DHA). After entering into cancer cells, the nanoplatform could directly convert the intracellular H2O2 into toxic •OH due to the Fenton-like activity of CFMSN. Meanwhile, the acidic microenvironment and endogenous chelating molecules triggered Ca2+ and Fe3+ release from the nanoplatform, causing particle collapse with accompanying DHA release for chemotherapy. Simultaneously, the released Ca2+ induced intracellular Ca2+-overloading for OT, which was further enhanced by DHA, while the released Fe3+ was reduced to reactive Fe2+ by intracellular glutathione, guaranteeing efficient Fenton reaction-mediated CDT. Moreover, Fe2+ cleaved the peroxy bonds of DHA to generate C-centered radicals to further amplify CDT. Both in vitro and in vivo results confirmed that the nanoplatform exhibited excellent anticancer efficacy via the synergistic effect of multi therapeutic modalities, which is extremely promising for high-efficient cancer therapy.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate monitoring of food freshness to provide consumers with high-quality meat continues to be of tremendous importance to the food industry. In this report, an efficient Fe-doped polydopamine (Fe-PDA) nanozyme with peroxidase-mimicking activity was synthesized by a high-temperature hydrothermal method, and was applied to a spectrophotometric sensing system, which successfully reports the concentration of hypoxanthine (Hx) related to meat freshness. The Fe-PDA nanozyme showed excellent peroxidase simulation activity, which was primarily verified by steady-state kinetics experiments. In the presence of xanthine oxidase (XOD), Hx can react quantitatively with dissolved O2 to generate H2O2, which can be further catalyzed and produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH) under acidic conditions via the Fe-PDA nanozyme and oxidize colorless TMB to blue oxTMB with absorbance at 653 nm. The absorbance at 653 nm expressed a clear linear relationship with hypoxanthine concentration in the range of 5.13-200 μM, and the detection limit was 1.54 μM. This method was further assessed by measuring the recovery of Hx added to meat samples, which showed promising accuracy. Overall, the developed Fe-PDA nanozyme with excellent peroxidase-mimicking activity is cost-effective, high-performance and easy to produce, offering an efficient and low-cost sensing system based on spectrophotometry for meat freshness determination as an alternative to conventional methods.

Abstract
Noninvasive photothermal therapy (PTT) represents a promising direction for more modern and precise medical applications. However, PTT efficacy is still not satisfactory due to the existence of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and poorly targeted delivery. Herein, the design of a nanosystem with improved delivery efficacy for anticancer treatment employing the synergetic effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-driven chemodynamic therapy (CDT) to inactivated HSPs with photothermal-hyperthermia was therefore achieved through the development of pH-targeting glycol chitosan/iron oxide enclosed core polypyrrole nanoclusters (GCPI NCs). The designed NCs effectively accumulated toward cancer cells due to their acidic microenvironment, initiating ROS generation via Fenton reaction at the outset and performing site-specific near infrared (NIR)-photothermal effect. A comprehensive analysis of both surface and bulk material properties of the CDT/PTT NCs as well as biointerface properties were ascertained via numerous surface specific analytical techniques by bringing together heightened accumulation of CDT/PTT NCs, which can significantly eradicate cancer cells thus minimizing the side effects of conventional chemotherapies. All of these attributes act in synergy over the cancer cells succeeding in fashioning NC's able to act as competent agents in the MRI-monitored enhanced CDT/PTT synergistic therapy. Findings in this study evoke attention in future oncological therapeutic strategies.

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
Nanozyme-based catalytic therapy, an emerging therapeutic pattern, has significantly incorporated in the advancement of tumor therapy by generating lethal reactive oxygen species. Nevertheless, most of the nanozymes have mono catalytic performances with H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which lowers their therapeutic efficiency. Herein, we design a newly-developed single-atom Fe dispersed N-doped mesoporous carbon nanospheres (SAFe-NMCNs) nanozyme with high H2O2 affinity for photothermal-augmented nanocatalytic therapy. The SAFe-NMCNs nanozyme possesses dual enzyme-mimic catalytic activity which not only acts as a catalase-mimic role to achieve ultrasonic imaging in tumor site by O2 generation, but also exhibits the superior peroxidase-mimic catalytic performance to generate •OH for nanocatalytic therapy. Besides, the SAFe-NMCNs nanozyme with strong optical absorption in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) region shows excellent photothermal conversion performance. The peroxidase-mimic catalytic process of SAFe-NMCNs nanozyme is realized using density functional theory (DFT). Both in vitro and in vivo results indicate that the SAFe-NMCNs nanozyme can efficiently suppress tumor cells growth by a synergistic therapy effect with photothermal-augmented nanocatalytic therapy. The work developed a single-atom-coordinated nanozyme with dual-enzyme catalytic performance and achieve hyperthermia-augmented nanocatalytic therapy effect, can open a window for potential biological applications.

[PMID: 34749740 PMCID: PMC8576982 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-021-01102-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma is insensitive to many chemotherapeutic agents. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death with a Fenton reaction mechanism. It converts endogenous hydrogen peroxide into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals, which inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma progression. METHODS The morphology, elemental composition, and tumour microenvironment responses of various organic/inorganic nanoplatforms were characterised by different analytical methods. Their in vivo and in vitro tumour-targeting efficacy and imaging capability were analysed by magnetic resonance imaging. Confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, and western blotting were used to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms of complementary ferroptosis/apoptosis mediated by the nanoplatforms. RESULTS The nanoplatform consisted of a silica shell doped with iron and disulphide bonds and an etched core loaded with doxorubicin that generates hydrogen peroxide in situ and enhances ferroptosis. It relied upon transferrin for targeted drug delivery and could be activated by the tumour microenvironment. Glutathione-responsive biodegradability could operate synergistically with the therapeutic interaction between doxorubicin and iron and induce tumour cell death through complementary ferroptosis and apoptosis. The nanoplatform also has a superparamagnetic framework that could serve to guide and monitor treatment under T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. CONCLUSION This rationally designed nanoplatform is expected to integrate cancer diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring and provide a novel clinical antitumour therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) catalyzed by transition metal and starvation therapy catalyzed by intracellular metabolite oxidases are both classic tumor treatments based on nanocatalysts. CDT monotherapy has limitations including low catalytic efficiency of metal ions and insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Also, single starvation therapy shows limited ability on resisting tumors. The “metal-oxidase” cascade catalytic system is to introduce intracellular metabolite oxidases into the metal-based nanoplatform, which perfectly solves the shortcomings of the above-mentioned monotherapiesIn this system, oxidases can not only consume tumor nutrients to produce a “starvation effect”, but also provide CDT with sufficient H2O2 and a suitable acidic environment, which further promote synergy between CDT and starvation therapy, leading to enhanced antitumor effects. More importantly, the “metal-oxidase” system can be combined with other antitumor therapies (such as photothermal therapy, hypoxia-activated drug therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy) to maximize their antitumor effects. In addition, both metal-based nanoparticles and oxidases can activate tumor immunity through multiple pathways, so the combination of the “metal-oxidase” system with immunotherapy has a powerful synergistic effect. This article firstly introduced the metals which induce CDT and the oxidases which induce starvation therapy and then described the “metal-oxidase” cascade catalytic system in detail. Moreover, we highlight the application of the “metal-oxidase” system in combination with numerous antitumor therapies, especially in combination with immunotherapy, expecting to provide new ideas for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Nanoparticles, presenting catalytic activity to induce intracellular oxidative species, have been extensively explored for tumor treatment, but suffer daunting challenges in the limited intracellular H2O2 and thus suppressed therapeutic efficacy. Here in this study, a type of composite nanoparticles, consisting CaO2 core and Co-ferrocene shell, is designed and synthesized for combinational tumor treatment. The findings indicate that CaO2 core can be hydrolyzed to produce large amounts of H2O2 and calcium ions at the acidic tumor sites. Meanwhile, Co-ferrocene shell acts as an excellent Fenton catalyst, inducing considerable ROS generation following its reaction with H2O2. Excessive cellular oxidative stress triggers agitated calcium accumulation in addition to the calcium ions released from the particles. The combined effect of intracellular ROS and calcium overload causes significant tumor inhibition both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Purpose Iron-based nanomaterials have recently been developed as excellent and potent Fenton reagents to reactive oxygen species (ROS) during chemodynamic therapy (CDT). The performance of the materials, however, can be impaired by the intrinsic antioxidant defense mechanism in organisms, such as autophagy. Methods The nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs), nMIL-100 (Fe), were exploited and characterized. Also, the Fenton-like catalytic characteristics, anti-endometrial cancer (EC) effects and potential mechanisms of nMIL-100 (Fe) nanoparticles were investigated in vitro. Results The synthesized nMIL-100 (Fe) nanocatalyst catalyzed hydroxyl radicals (·OH) production in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and simultaneously depleted intracellular glutathione (GSH). Combining with H2O2, nMIL-100 (Fe) nanoparticles exhibited enhanced cytotoxicity for EC cells, especially for progesterone treatment-insensitive KLE cells, probably due to relatively lower expression of the catalase gene. The accumulated ·OH initiated PTEN induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Parkin-mediated cytoprotective mitophagy in turn to partially rescue ·OH-induced cell apoptosis. Furthermore, both pretreatments of EC cells with siRNA-mediated Parkin knockdown and Mdivi-1 (a mitophagy inhibitor) addition were sufficient to ensure nMIL-100 (Fe) synergizing with H2O2-induced oxidative damages. Conclusion These results suggest that the degree of mitophagy should be taken into consideration to optimize therapeutic efficiency when developing ROS based-CDT for EC cancer therapies. Therefore, a nMIL-100 (Fe)-guided, elevated ROS and overwhelmed mitophagy-mediated therapeutic strategy may have greater promise for EC therapy compared with current treatment modalities.

Abstract
Uniform-sized iron oxide nanoparticles obtained from the solution phase thermal decomposition of the iron-oleate complex were encapsulated inside the silica shell by the reverse microemulsion technique, and then thermal treatment under NH3 to transfer the iron oxide to iron nitride. The transmission electron microscopy images distinctly demonstrated that the as-prepared iron nitride at silica core/shell nanostructures were highly uniform in particle-size distribution. By using iron oxide nanoparticles of 6.1, 10.3, 16.2, and 21.8 nm as starting materials, iron nitride nanoparticles with average diameters of 5.6, 9.3, 11.6, and 16.7 nm were produced, respectively. The acid-resistant properties of the iron nitride at silica core/shell nanostructures were found to be much higher than the starting iron oxide at silica. A superconducting quantum interference device was used for the magnetic characterization of the nanostructure. Besides, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies using iron nitride at silica nanocomposites as contrast agents demonstrated T 2 enhanced effects that were dependent on the concentration. These core/shell nanostructures have enormous potential in magnetic nanodevice and biomedical applications. The current process is expected to be easy for large-scale and transfer other metal oxide nanoparticles.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the "power plant" of the cell, providing a constant source of energy, and are involved in a variety of intracellular signaling pathways. Among these pathways, Ca2+ homeostasis is closely related to the normal function of mitochondria. By destroying the Ca2+ steady state of mitochondria and disrupting their multiple cellular activities, tumor cell killing can be achieved. In addition, the presence of an intracellular oxidative stress state triggers the closure of cellular calcium channels, which leads to intracellular Ca2+ retention and enrichment. We designed a targeted and tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive CaO2-based nanosystem that can selectively target cancer cells for pH-controlled degradation and drug release, alter cellular physiological mechanisms by disrupting Ca2+ homeostasis in an artificial manner, and introduce mitochondrial Ca2+ excess-mediated apoptosis. Meanwhile, the production of Ca(OH)2 will raise the pH of the microenvironment and subsequently promote the oxidation process of glutathione by H2O2 released from CaO2 degradation, achieving the goal of remodeling TME. Moreover, calcium overload of tumor cells and calcification of tissues can both inhibit tumor growth and act as a contrast agent for computed tomography imaging.
