Abstract
DNA nanotechnology combines structural design with therapeutic functions via programmable DNA motifs, but faces challenges in drug loading capacity. Herein a pore-engineering strategy is reported to develop a highly porous, universal DNA nano-vehicle through coordination self-assembly, cryo-engineering, and supramolecular chemistry, adapting to diverse cargo loading with desired theranostic agents. Thus, the complex synthesis and compatibility challenges typically associated with switching between different drug carriers are avoided. To this end, Cu2+ and nucleic acid therapeutic G3139 self-assemble into a prefabricated solid nanostructure, which subsequently undergoes ultrafast freezing and sublimation to introduce porosity, forming highly porous Cu-G3139 nanoparticles (CG NPs). The porous CG NPs efficiently accommodate diverse therapeutic molecules, from chemotherapeutics to non-chemotherapeutic agents, facilitated by positively-charged cyclodextrin. As a proof-of-concept, the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) is loaded and coated with tannic acid (TA) to form CICG@TA, enabling remarkable photothermal and fluorescence imaging-guided synergistic tumor ablation. This work represents the first demonstration of sublimation-induced pore formation in metal-DNA hybrid nanoparticles without chemical etching, offering a scalable "plug-and-play" platform for personalized cancer therapy without redesign. This versatile pore-engineering strategy, merging supramolecular chemistry with cryo-engineered porosity, opens up new avenues for efficient, customized multidrug delivery for diverse tumor theranostic applications.

Abstract
Phototherapies, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), combined with novel all-in-one light-responsive nanocomposites have recently emerged as new therapeutic modalities for the treatment of cancer. Herein, we developed novel all-in-one triphenylphosphonium-functionalized gold nanorod/zinc oxide core-shell nanocomposites (CTPP-GNR@ZnO) for mitochondrial-targeted PTT/PDT owing to their good biocompatibility, tunable and high optical absorption, photothermal conversion efficiency, highest reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and high mitochondrial-targeting capability. Under laser irradiation of 780 nm, the CTPP-GNR@ZnO core-shell nanocomposites effectively produced heat in addition to generating ROS to induce cell death, implying a synergistic effect of mild PTT and PDT in combating cancer. Notably, the in vitro PTT/PDT effect of CTPP-GNR@ZnO core-shell nanocomposites exhibited effective cell ablation (95%) and induced significant intracellular ROS after the 780 nm laser irradiation for 50 min, indicating that CTPP in CTPP-GNR@ZnO core-shell nanocomposites can specifically target the mitochondria of CT-26 cells, as well as generate heat and ROS to completely kill cancer cells. Overall, this light-responsive nanocomposite-based phototherapy provides a new approach for cancer synergistic therapy.

Abstract
New antibacterial agents are needed to overcome the challenges of microbial food contamination. In this study, we investigated the potential of Elaeagnus mollis polysaccharide (EMP) to modify black phosphorus (BP) for use as a bactericide for foodborne pathogenic bacteria. The resulting compound (EMP-BP) displayed enhanced stability and activity compared with BP. EMP-BP exhibited an increased antibacterial activity (bactericidal efficiency of 99.999 % after 60 min of light exposure) compared to EMP and BP. Further studies revealed that photocatalytically generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and active polysaccharides acted collectively on the cell membrane, leading to cell deformation and death. Furthermore, EMP-BP inhibited biofilm formation and reduced expression of virulence factors of Staphylococcus aureus, and material hemolysis and cytotoxicity tests prove that the material had good biocompatibility. In addition, bacteria treated with EMP-BP remained highly sensitive to antibiotics and did not develop significant resistance. In summary, we report an environmentally friendly method for controlling pathogenic foodborne bacteria that is efficient and apparently safe.

Abstract
Nanoceria or cerium oxide nanoparticles characterised by the co-existing of Ce3+ and Ce4+ that allows self-regenerative, redox-responsive dual-catalytic activities, have attracted interest as an innovative approach to treating cancer. Depending on surface characteristics and immediate environment, nanoceria exerts either anti- or pro-oxidative effects which regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in biological systems. Nanoceria mimics ROS-related enzymes that protect normal cells at physiological pH from oxidative stress and induce ROS production in the slightly acidic tumour microenvironment to trigger cancer cell death. Nanoceria as nanozymes also generates molecular oxygen that relieves tumour hypoxia, leading to tumour cell sensitisation to improve therapeutic outcomes of photodynamic (PDT), photothermal (PTT) and radiation (RT), targeted and chemotherapies. Nanoceria has been engineered as a nanocarrier to improve drug delivery or in combination with other drugs to produce synergistic anti-cancer effects. Despite reported preclinical successes, there are still knowledge gaps arising from the inadequate number of studies reporting findings based on physiologically relevant disease models that accurately represent the complexities of cancer. This review discusses the dual-catalytic activities of nanoceria responding to pH and oxygen tension gradient in tumour microenvironment, highlights the recent nanoceria-based platforms reported to be feasible direct and indirect anti-cancer agents with protective effects on healthy tissues, and finally addresses the challenges in clinical translation of nanoceria based therapeutics.

Abstract
The interaction between platelets and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) contributes to distal tumor metastasis by protecting CTCs from immunological assault and shear stress, which can be disrupted by nitric oxide (NO) through inhibiting platelet-mediated adhesion. To eradicate primitive tumors and inhibit CTC-based pulmonary metastasis, a novel biomimetic nanomedicine (mCuMNO) is designed by encapsulating Cu+ -responsive S-nitrosoglutathione as a NO donor into a copper-based metal-organic framework (CuM). This work discovers that mCuMNO can target tumor regions and deplete local glutathione (GSH) to reduce Cu2+ to Cu+ , followed by triggering NO release and hydroxyl radicals (·OH) production, thereby interrupting platelet/CTC interplay and contributing to chemodynamic therapy. Detailed studies demonstrate that mCuMNO exhibits high efficiency and safety in tumor therapy and antimetastasis activity, sheding new light on the development of CuM-based tumor synthetic therapy.

Abstract
Specific tumor-responsive capabilities and efficient synergistic therapeutic performance are the keys to effective tumor treatment. Herein, AuNRs@SiO2-RB@MnO2 was developed as a new type of tumor-responsive nanotheranostic for multimodal imaging and synergistic chemodynamic/photothermal therapy. In AuNRs@SiO2-RB@MnO2, the SiO2 layer wraps the AuNRs, providing light absorption in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) region. The SiO2 layer also adsorbs the MnO2 nanosheets, which have Fenton-like activity, resulting in a fluorescent sensing platform based on the fluorescence quenching properties of MnO2 for rhodamine B dye. The fluorescence can be recovered by the consumption of MnO2 by glutathione, which simultaneously produces Mn2+ in the tumor region. The recovery of fluorescence reflects the consumption of glutathione and the increase in Mn2+, which produces hydroxyl radicals via Fenton-like reaction in the tumor microenvironment to realize chemodynamic therapy. Meanwhile, the AuNRs are a good photothermal reagent that can effectively absorb NIR-II light and convert it into heat energy to kill tumor cells via photothermal therapy. The NIR-II absorption performance of the AuNRs provides good photoacoustic imaging and deep photothermal performance, which is favorable for efficient NIR-II photoacoustic imaging-guided photothermal therapy. As a result, the AuNRs@SiO2-RB@MnO2 nanotheranostic exhibits outstanding imaging and synergistic chemodynamic/photothermal therapeutic performance for tumor imaging and treatment.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) emerged as promising near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered nanotransducers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, the traditionally used 980 nm excitation source could cause an overheating effect on biological tissues, and the single photosensitizer (PS) loading could not efficiently utilize multiradiation UC luminescence, resulting in a limited efficiency of PDT in tumor tissues with hypoxia characteristics. Herein, 808 nm light-responsive Nd-sensitized UCNPs@mSiO2@MnO2 core-shell NPs were designed as light nanotransducers with efficient UC emission at 550 and 650 nm for PDT and downshifting luminescence at 1525 nm for second NIR (NIR-II) imaging. UC emission was fully utilized by loading dual PSs, rose bengal (RB), and zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc), thus significantly improving the reactive oxide species (ROS) generation efficiency. Moreover, a manganese dioxide (MnO2) shell with ultrasensitive biodegradability in an acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) can generate an amount of oxygen molecules, alleviating the symptoms of hypoxia and then improving the efficacy of PDT. Meanwhile, the biodegraded Mn2+ ions can further strengthen T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This work presented a new multifunctional theranostic agent for combining NIR-II/MRI imaging and 808 nm light-triggered PDT to combat the limitations of cancer therapy.

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.

Abstract
Cell membrane-coated (CMC) mimics are micro/nanosystems that combine an isolated cell membrane and a template of choice to mimic the functions of a cell. The design exploits its physicochemical and biological properties for therapeutic applications. The mimics demonstrate excellent biological compatibility, enhanced biointerfacing capabilities, physical, chemical, and biological tunability, ability to retain cellular properties, immune escape, prolonged circulation time, and protect the encapsulated drug from degradation and active targeting. These properties and the ease of adapting them for personalized clinical medicine have generated a significant research interest over the past decade. This review presents a detailed overview of the recent advances in the development of cell membrane-coated (CMC) mimics. The primary focus is to collate and discuss components, fabrication methodologies, and the significance of physiochemical and biological characterization techniques for validating a CMC mimic. We present a critical analysis of the two main components of CMC mimics: the template and the cell membrane and mapped their use in therapeutic scenarios. In addition, we have emphasized on the challenges associated with CMC mimics in their clinical translation. Overall, this review is an up to date toolbox that researchers can benefit from while designing and characterizing CMC mimics.

Abstract
By leveraging the ability of bacteria to express therapeutic protein cytolysin A (ClyA) through plasmid transformation, a thermally-activated biohybrid (TAB@Au) is constructed by biomineralizing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the E. coli surface. Due to the feature of anaerobic bacteria homing to tumor microenvironments, the bacteria-based antitumor vehicles can be efficaciously accumulated at tumor sites. Under NIR laser irradiation, the biomineralized AuNPs harvest transdermal photons and convert them into local heat for photothermal therapy. After that, the produced heat elicits the expression of ClyA for killing tumor cells. In vitro and in vivo experiments verify the conception that the current therapeutic modality greatly inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells. In terms of the spatial specificity and non-invasiveness of NIR laser, the bacteria-based phototherapy represents an appealing way for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Nanomaterials having enzyme-like activities are recognized as potentially important self-therapeutic nanomedicines. Herein, a peroxidase-like artificial enzyme is developed based on novel biodegradable boron oxynitride (BON) nanostructures for highly efficient and multi-mode breast cancer therapies. The BON nanozyme catalytically generates cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals, which induce apoptosis of 4T1 cancer cells and significantly reduce the cell viability by 82% in 48 h. In vivo experiment reveals a high potency of the BON nanozyme for breast tumor growth inhibitions by 97% after 14-day treatment compared with the control, which are 10 times or 1.3 times more effective than the inert or B-releasing boron nitride (BN) nanospheres, respectively. This work highlights the BON nanozyme and its functional integrations within the BN nanomedicine platform for high-potency breast cancer therapies.

Abstract
The diversity, complexity, and heterogeneity of malignant tumor seriously undermine the efficiency of mono-modal treatment. Recently, multi-modal therapeutics with enhanced antitumor efficiencies have attracted increasing attention. However, designing a nanotherapeutic platform with uniform morphology in nanoscale that integrates with efficient chem-/sono-/photo-trimodal tumor therapies is still a great challenge. Here, new and facile Pd-single-atom coordinated porphyrin-based polymeric networks as biocatalysts, namely, Pd-Pta/Por, for chem-/sono-/photo-trimodal tumor therapies are designed. The atomic morphology and chemical structure analysis prove that the biocatalyst consists of atomic Pd-N coordination networks with a Pd-N2 -Cl2 catalytic center. The characterization of peroxidase-like catalytic activities displays that the Pd-Pta/Por can generate abundant •OH radicals for chemodynamic therapies. The ultrasound irradiation or laser excitation can significantly boost the catalytic production of 1 O2 by the porphyrin-based sono-/photosensitizers to achieve combined sono-/photodynamic therapies. The superior catalytic production of •OH is further verified by density functional theory calculation. Finally, the corresponding in vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated their synergistic chem-/sono-/photo-trimodal antitumor efficacies. It is believed that this study provides new promising single-atom-coordinated polymeric networks with highly efficient biocatalytic sites and synergistic trimodal therapeutic effects, which may inspire many new findings in reactive oxygen species-related biological applications across broad therapeutics and biomedical fields.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most common cause of death amongst men in the USA. Therapy of PC has been transformed in the past decade by introducing novel therapeutics, advanced functional imaging and diagnostic approaches, next generation sequencing, as well as improved application of existing therapies in localized PC. Treatment of PC at the different stages of the disease may include surgery, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, although ADT has proven efficacious in PC treatment, its effectiveness may be temporary, as these tumors frequently develop molecular mechanisms of therapy resistance, which allow them to survive and proliferate even under conditions of testosterone deprivation, inhibition of androgen receptor signaling, or cytotoxic drug treatment. Importantly, ADT was found to induce key alterations which frequently result in the formation of metastatic tumors displaying a therapy refractory phenotype. Hence, to overcome these serious therapeutic impediments, novel PC cell-targeted therapeutic strategies are being developed. These include diverse platforms enabling specific enhanced antitumor drug uptake and increased intracellular accumulation. Studies have shown that these novel treatment modalities lead to enhanced antitumor activity and diminished systemic toxicity due to the use of selective targeting and decreased drug doses. The underlying mechanism of targeting and internalization is based upon the interaction between a selective ligand, conjugated to a drug-loaded nanoparticle or directly to an anti-cancer drug, and a specific plasma membrane biomarker, uniquely overexpressed on the surface of PC cells. Another targeted therapeutic approach is the delivery of unique anti-oncogenic signaling pathway-based therapeutic drugs, which are selectively cytotoxic to PC cells. The current paper reviews PC targeted modalities reported in the past 6 years, and discusses both the advantages and limitations of the various targeted treatment strategies.

RSC Adv 2021; 11:5044-5054. [PMID: 35424429 PMCID: PMC8694529 DOI: 10.1039/d0ra09545a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has emerged as a promising bio-imaging technique due to its non-invasive visualization of lesions at great penetration depths. Fluorescence (FL) imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) achieves a higher imaging resolution and lower background signals compared to NIR-I. However, the single imaging method possesses its own disadvantages. Thus, we have demonstrated ZIF-8-IR820-MnPc-HA nanoparticles (ZIMH NPs) that can achieve visualization and localization of tumors in mice models with the help of a dual-modality PA/NIR-II FL imaging performance. Meanwhile, these excellent nanoparticles also induce the efficient generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) upon 808 nm laser illumination, and display excellent photodynamic therapy efficacy in cells, further indicating their potential application for in vivo PDT. In ZIMH NPs, hyaluronic acid (HA) impressively acts as a "sponge", enhancing the generation of 1O2 and facilitating the cellular therapeutic effects. We believe that ZIF-8-IR820-MnPc-HA NPs present a brand-new strategy for the exploration of efficient PDT photosensitizers with dual-modality imaging performance for use in various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Anti-hypoxia cancer nanomedicine (AHCN) holds exciting potential in improving oxygen-dependent therapeutic efficiencies of malignant tumors. However, most studies regarding AHCN focus on optimizing structure and function of nanomaterials with presupposed successful entry into tumor cells. From such a traditional perspective, the main barrier that AHCN needs to overcome is mainly the tumor cell membrane. However, such an oversimplified perspective would neglect that real tumors have many biological, physiological, physical, and chemical defenses preventing the current state-of-the-art AHCNs from even reaching the targeted tumor cells. Fortunately, in recent years, some studies are beginning to intentionally focus on overcoming physiological barriers to alleviate hypoxia. In this Review, the limitations behind the traditional AHCN delivery mindset are addressed and the key barriers that need to be surmounted before delivery to cancer cells and some good ways to improve cell membrane attachment, internalization, and intracellular retention are summarized. It is aimed to contribute to Review literature on this emerging topic through refreshing perspectives based on this work and what is also learnt from others. This Review would therefore assist AHCNs researchers to have a quick overview of the essential information and glean thought-provoking ideas to advance this sub-field in cancer nanomedicine.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species-mediated tumor chemodynamic therapy and photodynamic therapy have captured extensive attention in practical cancer combination therapies. However, the severe treatment conditions and the hypoxic microenvironment of solid tumors significantly limit the efficacy of these therapies. This work demonstrates the design and fabrication of a multifunctional persistent luminescence nanoplatform (PHFI, refers to PLNP-HSA-Fe3+-IR780) for cancer multimodal imaging and effective photoenhanced combination therapy. The near-infrared-emitted persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNP) was modified with human serum albumin (HSA) combined with an IR780 probe and Fe3+. The synthesized PHFI possesses high longitudinal relaxivity, obvious photoacoustic contrast signals, and long-lasting persistent luminescence, indicating that PHFI can be used for cancer magnetic resonance imaging, photoacoustic imaging, and persistent luminescence multimodal imaging. PHFI shows intrinsic photoenhanced Fenton-like catalytic activities as well as photodynamic and photothermal effects and thereby can effectively overcome severe treatment conditions for killing tumor cells. It is worth noting that PHFI serving as a rechargeable internal light source for photoenhanced combination therapy was first disclosed. We believe that our work shows the great potential of PHFI for cancer theranostics and will advance the development of PLNP-based nanoplatforms in tumor catalytic therapy.

Herein, a multifunctional LDDS, showing feasibility for minimally-invasive implantation, was designed and synthesized for on-site chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy. In this system, polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles, loaded with doxorubicin (DOX), were assembled at the surface of electrospun PCL-gelatin (PG) fibers (PG@PDA-DOX). The composite PG@PDA-DOX nanofibers could effectively transform NIR light into heat and present excellent photostability. In addition, low pH and NIR irradiation enabled remarkably accelerated DOX release. The in vitro study of PG@PDA-DOX fibers showed effective anti-cancer effect with irradiation of 808 nm NIR by inducing cell apoptosis and suppressing cell proliferation. The in vivo study, by implanting PG@PDA-DOX nanofibers in the patient derived xenograft (PDX) model via minimally-invasive surgery, presented that the composite fibers can effectively inhabit tumor growth by the combined chemo-photothermal effect without clear systematic side-effects. This study has therefore demonstrated a minimally-invasive platform, in a fibrous mesh form, with both high therapeutic efficacy and considerable potential in clinical translation for liver cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and fluorescence imaging offer the possibility of precise and personalized treatment of cancer, but low singlet oxygen production of a commercial photosensitizer and the quenching effect of fluorescent dyes limit the further application of PDT treatment and fluorescence imaging. In addition, the single nanoplatform that simultaneously achieved singlet oxygen and fluorescence enhancement is rare. In this paper, a novel simultaneously enhanced singlet oxygen and fluorescence production nanoplatform of AuNR@mSiO2-Ce6-Cy5.5 has been successfully designed and synthesized by surface plasmon resonance coupling. The as-synthesized nanoplatform achieved a 1.8-fold enhancement of the singlet oxygen production of Ce6 and a 5.0-fold enhancement of the fluorescence production of Cy5.5 by surface plasmon resonance coupling. The as-synthesized nanoplatform simultaneously enhances the photodynamic therapy and fluorescence imaging of cancer, which will have great potential in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Inflammation during photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumor usually results in adverse consequences. Here, a biomembrane camouflaged nanomedicine (mPDAB) containing polydopamine and ammonia borane was designed to enhance PTT efficacy and mitigate inflammation. Polydopamine, a biocompatible photothermal agent, can effectively convert light into heat for PTT. Ammonia borane was linked to the surface of polydopamine through the interaction of hydrogen bonding, which could destroy redox homoeostasis in tumor cells and reduce inflammation by H2 release in tumor microenvironment. Owing to the same origin of outer biomembranes, mPDAB showed excellent tumor accumulation and low systemic toxicity in a breast tumor model. Excellent PTT efficacy and inflammation reduction made the mPDAB completely eliminate the primary tumors, while also restraining the outgrowth of distant dormant tumors. The biomimetic nanomedicine shows potentials as a universal inflammation-self-alleviated platform to ameliorate inflammation-related disease treatment, including but not limited to PTT for tumor.
