Abstract
Designing and constructing supramolecular photosensitizer nanosystems with highly efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT) is vital in the nanomedical field. Despite recent advances in forming well-defined superstructures, the relationship between molecular arrangement in nanostructures and photodynamic properties has rarely been involved, which is crucial for developing stable photosensitizers for highly efficient PDT. In this work, through a microemulsion-assisted self-assembly approach, indium porphyrin (InTPP) was used to fabricate a series of morphology-controlled self-assemblies, including nanorods, nanospheres, nanoplates, and nanoparticles. They possessed structure-dependent 1O2 generation efficiency. Compared with the other three nanostructures, InTPP nanorods featuring strong π-π stacking, J-aggregation, and high crystallinity proved to be much more efficient at singlet oxygen (1O2) production. Also, theoretical modeling and photophysical experiments verified that the intermolecular π-π stacking in the nanorods could cause a decreased singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔEST) compared with the monomer. This played a key role in enhancing intersystem crossing and facilitating 1O2 generation. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the InTPP nanorods could trigger cell apoptosis and tumor ablation upon laser irradiation (635 nm, 0.1 W/cm2) and exhibited negligible dark toxicity and high phototoxicity. Thus, the supramolecular self-assembly strategy provides an avenue for designing high-performance photosensitizer nanosystems for photodynamic therapy and beyond.

Abstract
Organic near-infrared room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials offer remarkable advantages in bioimaging due to their characteristic time scales and background noise elimination. However, developing near-infrared RTP materials for deep tissue imaging still faces challenges since the small band gap may increase the non-radiative decay, resulting in weak emission and short phosphorescence lifetime. In this study, fused-ring pyrrole-based structures were employed as the guest molecules for the construction of long wavelength emissive RTP materials. Compared to the decrease of the singlet energy level, the triplet energy level showed a more effectively decrease with the increase of the conjugation of the substituent groups. Moreover, the sufficient conjugation of fused ring structures in the guest molecule suppresses the non-radiative decay of triplet excitons. Therefore, a near-infrared RTP material (764 nm) was achieved for deep penetration bioimaging. Tumor cell membrane is used to coat RTP nanoparticles (NPs) to avoid decreasing the RTP performance compared to traditional coating by amphiphilic surfactants. RTP NPs with tumor-targeting properties show favorable phosphorescent properties, superior stability, and excellent biocompatibility. These NPs are applied for time-resolved luminescence imaging to eliminate background interference with excellent tissue penetration. This study provides a practical solution to prepare long-wavelength and long-lifetime organic RTP materials and their applications in bioimaging.

Abstract
Toxic amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaque and harmful inflammation are two leading symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, precise AD therapy is unrealizable due to the lack of dual-targeting therapy function, poor BBB penetration, and low imaging sensitivity. Here, we design a near-infrared-II aggregation-induced emission (AIE) nanotheranostic for precise AD therapy. The anti-quenching emission at 1350 nm accurately monitors the in vivo BBB penetration and specifically binding of nanotheranostic with plaques. Triggered by reactive oxygen species (ROS), two encapsulated therapeutic-type AIE molecules are controllably released to activate a self-enhanced therapy program. One specifically inhibits the Aβ fibrils formation, degrades Aβ fibrils, and prevents the reaggregation via multi-competitive interactions that are verified by computational analysis, which further alleviates the inflammation. Another effectively scavenges ROS and inflammation to remodel the cerebral redox balance and enhances the therapy effect, together reversing the neurotoxicity and achieving effective behavioral and cognitive improvements in the female AD mice model.

Abstract
Current cancer treatment options have presented numerous challenges in terms of reaching high efficacy. As a result, an immediate step must be taken to create novel therapies that can achieve more than satisfying outcomes in the fight against tumors. Ferroptosis, an emerging form of regulated cell death (RCD) that is reliant on iron and reactive oxygen species, has garnered significant attention in the field of cancer therapy. Ferroptosis has been reported to be induced by a variety of small molecule compounds known as ferroptosis inducers (FINs), as well as several licensed chemotherapy medicines. These compounds' low solubility, systemic toxicity, and limited capacity to target tumors are some of the significant limitations that have hindered their clinical effectiveness. A novel cancer therapy paradigm has been created by the hypothesis that ferroptosis induced by nanoparticles has superior preclinical properties to that induced by small drugs and can overcome apoptosis resistance. Knowing the different ideas behind the preparation of nanomaterials that target ferroptosis can be very helpful in generating new ideas. Simultaneously, more improvement in nanomaterial design is needed to make them appropriate for therapeutic treatment. This paper first discusses the fundamentals of nanomedicine-based ferroptosis to highlight the potential and characteristics of ferroptosis in the context of cancer treatment. The latest study on nanomedicine applications for ferroptosis-based anticancer therapy is then highlighted.

Abstract
Immune cell engineering is an active field of ongoing research that can be easily applied to nanoscale biomedicine as an alternative to overcoming limitations of nanoparticles. Cell membrane coating and artificial nanovesicle technology have been reported as representative methods with an advantage of good biocompatibility for biomimetic replication of cell membrane characteristics. Cell membrane-mediated biomimetic technique provides properties of natural cell membrane and enables membrane-associated cellular/molecular signaling. Thus, coated nanoparitlces (NPs) and artificial nanovesicles can achieve effective and extended in vivo circulation, enabling execution of target functions. While coated NPs and artificial nanovesicles provide clear advantages, much work remains before clinical application. In this review, first a comprehensive overview of cell membrane coating techniques and artificial nanovesicles is provided. Next, the function and application of various immune cell membrane types are summarized.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor with low survival, primarily due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and high infiltration. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-based near-infrared (NIR) phototherapy with deep penetration is a promising therapy method against glioma but faces low photoenergy utilization that is induced by spectral mismatch and single-site Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Herein, we designed a brain-targeting NIR theranostic system with a dual-site FRET route and superior spectral matching to maximize energy utilization for synergistic photodynamic and photothermal therapy of glioma. The system was fabricated by Tm-doped UCNPs, zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP), and copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles under multioptimized modulation. First, the Tm-doping ratio was precisely adjusted to improve the relative emission intensity at 475 nm of UCNPs (11.5-fold). Moreover, the J-aggregate of ZnTPP increased the absorption at 475 nm (163.5-fold) of monomer; both together optimize the FRET matching between UCNPs and porphyrin for effective NIR photodynamic therapy. Simultaneously, the emission at 800 nm was utilized to magnify the photothermal effect of CuS nanoparticles for photothermal therapy via the second FRET route. After being modified by a brain-targeted peptide, the system efficiently triggers the synergistic phototherapy ablation of glioma cells and significantly prolongs the survival of orthotopic glioma-bearing mice after traversing the BBB and targeting glioma. This success of advanced spectral modulation and dual-site FRET strategy may inspire more strategies to maximize the photoenergy utilization of UCNPs for brain diseases.

A tumor microenvironment-responsive core-shell tecto dendrimer nanoplatform for magnetic resonance imaging-guided and cuproptosis-promoted chemo-chemodynamic therapy. Acta Biomater 2023; 164:474-486. [PMID: 37040813 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/13/2023]
Abstract
Theranostic nanoplatforms for combination tumor therapy have gained lots of attention recently due to the optimized therapeutic efficiency and simultaneous diagnosis performance. Herein, a novel tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive core-shell tecto dendrimer (CSTD) was assembled by phenylboronic acid- and mannose-modified poly(amidoamine) dendrimers via the phenylboronic ester bonds that are responsive to low pH and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and efficiently loaded with copper ions and chemotherapeutic drug disulfiram (DSF) for tumor-targeted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and cuproptosis-promoted chemo-chemodynamic therapy. The formed CSTD-Cu(II)@DSF could be specifically taken up by MCF-7 breast cancer cells, accumulated to the tumor model after circulation, and released drugs in response to the weakly acidic TME with overexpressed ROS. The enriched intracellular Cu(II) ions could induce the oligomerization of lipoylated proteins and proteotoxic stress for cuproptosis, and lipid peroxidation for chemodynamic therapy as well. Moreover, the CSTD-Cu(II)@DSF could cause the dysfunction of mitochondria and arrest the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, leading to enhanced DSF-mediated cell apoptosis. As a result, CSTD-Cu(II)@DSF could effectively inhibit the growth of MCF-7 tumors by a combination therapy strategy integrating chemotherapy with cuproptosis and chemodynamic therapy. Lastly, the CSTD-Cu(II)@DSF also displays Cu(II)-associated r1 relaxivity, allowing for T1-weighted real-time MR imaging of tumors in vivo. The developed tumor-targeted and TME-responsive CSTD-based nanomedicine formulation may be developed for accurate diagnosis and synergistic treatment of other cancer types. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Constructing an effective nanoplatform for the combination of therapeutic effects and real-time tumor imaging remains a challenge. In this study, we reported for the first time an all-in-one tumor-targeted and tumor microenvironment (TME) responsive nanoplatform based on core-shell tecto dendrimer (CSTD) for the cuproptosis-promoted chemo-chemodynamic therapy and enhanced MR imaging. The efficient loading, selective tumor-targeting, and TME-responsive release of Cu(II) and disulfiram could enhance the intracellular accumulation of drugs, induce cuproptosis of cancer cells, and amplify the synergistic chemo-chemodynamic therapeutic effect, resulting in enhanced MR imaging and accelerated tumor eradication. This study sheds new light on the development of theranostic nanoplatforms for early accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of cancers.

Abstract
The gold drugs, gold sodium thiomalate (Myocrisin), aurothioglucose (Solganal), and the orally administered auranofin (Ridaura), are utilized in modern medicine for the treatment of inflammatory arthritis including rheumatoid and juvenile arthritis; however, new gold agents have been slow to enter the clinic. Repurposing of auranofin in different disease indications such as cancer, parasitic, and microbial infections in the clinic has provided impetus for the development of new gold complexes for biomedical applications based on unique mechanistic insights differentiated from auranofin. Various chemical methods for the preparation of physiologically stable gold complexes and associated mechanisms have been explored in biomedicine such as therapeutics or chemical probes. In this Review, we discuss the chemistry of next generation gold drugs, which encompasses oxidation states, geometry, ligands, coordination, and organometallic compounds for infectious diseases, cancer, inflammation, and as tools for chemical biology via gold-protein interactions. We will focus on the development of gold agents in biomedicine within the past decade. The Review provides readers with an accessible overview of the utility, development, and mechanism of action of gold-based small molecules to establish context and basis for the thriving resurgence of gold in medicine.

Tumor-penetrating nanoplatform with ultrasound "unlocking" for cascade synergistic therapy and visual feedback under hypoxia. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:30. [PMID: 36698190 PMCID: PMC9878980 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-01765-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Combined therapy based on the effects of cascade reactions of nanoplatforms to combat specific solid tumor microenvironments is considered a cancer treatment strategy with transformative clinical value. Unfortunately, an insufficient O2 supply and the lack of a visual indication hinder further applications of most nanoplatforms for solid tumor therapy. RESULTS A visualizable nanoplatform of liposome nanoparticles loaded with GOD, H(Gd), and PFP and grafted with the peptide tLyP-1, named tLyP-1H(Gd)-GOD@PFP, was constructed. The double-domain peptide tLyP-1 was used to specifically target and penetrate the tumor cells; then, US imaging, starvation therapy and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) were then achieved by the ultrasound (US)-activated cavitation effect under the guidance of MR/PA imaging. GOD not only deprived the glucose for starvation therapy but also produced H2O2, which in coordination with 1O2 produced by H(Gd), enable the effects of SDT to achieve a synergistic therapeutic effect. Moreover, the synergistic therapy was enhanced by O2 from PFP and low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU)-accelerated redox effects of the GOD. The present study demonstrated that the nanoplatform could generate a 3.3-fold increase in ROS, produce a 1.5-fold increase in the maximum rate of redox reactions and a 2.3-fold increase in the O2 supply in vitro, and achieve significant tumor inhibition in vivo. CONCLUSION We present a visualizable nanoplatform with tumor-penetrating ability that can be unlocked by US to overcome the current treatment problems by improving the controllability of the O2 supply, which ultimately synergistically enhanced cascade therapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have now long demonstrated capabilities that make them attractive to use in biology and medicine. Some of them, such as lipid nanoparticles (SARS-CoV-2 vaccines) or metallic nanoparticles (contrast agents) are already approved for their use in the clinic. However, considering the constantly growing body of different formulations and the huge research around nanomaterials the number of candidates reaching clinical trials or being commercialized is minimal. The reasons behind being related to the "synthetic" and "foreign" character of their surface. Typically, nanomaterials aiming to develop a function or deliver a cargo locally, fail by showing strong off-target accumulation and generation of adverse responses, which is connected to their strong recognition by immune phagocytes primarily. Therefore, rendering in negligible numbers of nanoparticles developing their intended function. While a wide range of coatings has been applied to avoid certain interactions with the surrounding milieu, the issues remained. Taking advantage of the natural cell membranes, in an approach that resembles a cell transfer, the use of cell-derived surfaces has risen as an alternative to artificial coatings or encapsulation methods. Biomimetic technologies are based on the use of isolated natural components to provide autologous properties to the nanoparticle or cargo being encapsulated, thus, improving their therapeutic behavior. The main goal is to replicate the (bio)-physical properties and functionalities of the source cell and tissue, not only providing a stealthy character to the core but also taking advantage of homotypic properties, that could prove relevant for targeted strategies. Such biomimetic formulations have the potential to overcome the main issues of approaches to provide specific features and identities synthetically. In this review, we provide insight into the challenges of nano-biointerfaces for drug delivery; and the main applications of biomimetic materials derived from specific cell types, focusing on the unique strengths of the fabrication of novel nanotherapeutics in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Surface modification of biomaterial can improve its biocompatibility and add new biofunctions, such as targeting specific tissues, communication with cells, and modulation of intracellular trafficking. Here, we summarize the use of various natural materials, namely, cell membrane, exosomes, proteins, peptides, lipids, fatty acids, and polysaccharides as coating materials on micron- and nano-sized particles and droplets with the functions imparted by coating with different materials. We discuss the applicability, operational parameters, and limitation of different coating techniques, from the more conventional approaches such as extrusion and sonication to the latest innovation seen on the microfluidics platform. Methods commonly used in the field to examine the coating, including its composition, physical dimension, stability, fluidity, permeability, and biological functions, are reviewed.

Abstract
Dual-modal magnetic resonance/fluorescent imaging (MRI/FI) attracts moreandmoreattentions in diagnosis of tumors. A corresponding dual-modal imaging agent with sufficient tumor sensitivity and specificity should be matched to improve imaging quality. Tripeptide (RGD) and pentapeptide (YIGSR) were selected as the tumor-targeting groups and attached to gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA) and rhodamine B (RhB), and then make two novel polypeptide-based derivatives (RGD-Gd-DTPA-RhB and YIGSR-Gd-DTPA-RhB), respectively. These derivatives were further characterized and their properties, such as cell uptake, cell cytotoxicity, MRI and FI assay, were measured. YIGSR-Gd-DTPA-RhB and RGD-Gd-DTPA-RhB had high relaxivity, good tumor-targeting property, low cell cytotoxicity and good red FI in B16F10 melanoma cells. Moreover, YIGSR-Gd-DTPA-RhB and RGD-Gd-DTPA-RhB possessed high uptake to B16F10 melanoma, and then achieve highly enhanced FI and MRI of tumors in mice for a prolonged time. Therefore, YIGSR-Gd-DTPA-RhB and RGD-Gd-DTPA-RhB can be applied as the potential agents for tumor targeted MRI/FI in vivo.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy, is an emerging form of non-invasive treatment. The combination of imaging technology and phototherapy is becoming an attractive development in the treatment of cancer, as it allows for highly effective therapeutic results through image-guided phototherapy. Porphyrins have attracted significant interest in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer due to their excellent phototherapeutic effects in phototherapy and their remarkable imaging capabilities in fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and photoacoustic imaging. However, porphyrins suffer from poor water solubility, low near-infrared absorption and insufficient tumor accumulation. The development of nanotechnology provides an effective way to improve the bioavailability, phototherapeutic effect and imaging capability of porphyrins. This review highlights the research results of porphyrin-based small molecule nanoparticles in phototherapy and image-guided phototherapy in the last decade and discusses the challenges and directions for the development of porphyrin-based small molecule nanoparticles in phototherapy.

Abstract
At present, metalloporphyrin compounds demonstrate three main uses as anticancer sensitizers: (1) photosensitizers, (2) photothermal conversion agents, and (3) ultrasound sensitizers. Developing efficient sensitizers for cancer with excellent controllability and biocompatibility is an important goal of oncology medicine. Because of the different structural diversity of anticancer sensitizers, such sensitizers are used for treating cancers by employing a variety of tumor treatment methods such as mature photodynamic therapy, commonly used clinically photothermal therapy and promising sonodynamic therapy. Among the many sensitizers, metalloporphyrin-complex sensitizers attract wide attention due to their excellent performance in tumor treatment and diagnosis. This review briefly describes some metalloporphyrin anticancer drugs and diagnostic agents related to photodynamic, photothermal and sonodynamic therapy, and discusses the roles of metal atoms in these drugs.

Abstract
Porphyrin assemblies have controllable morphology, high biocompatibility, and good optical properties and were widely used in biomedical diagnosis and treatment. With the development of DNA biotechnology, combining DNA with porphyrin assemblies can broaden the biological applications of porphyrins. Porphyrin assemblies can serve as nanocarriers for DNA, although the fundamental interactions between them are not well understood. In this work, zinc meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin (ZnTPyP) assemblies were prepared in the presence of various surfactants and at different pH values, yielding a variety of aggregation forms. Among them, the hexagonal stacking form exposes more pyridine substituents, and the hydrogen bonding force between the substituents and the DNA bases allows the DNA to be quickly adsorbed on the surface of the assemblies. The effects of DNA sequence and length were systematically tested. In particular, the adsorption of duplex DNA was less efficient compared to the adsorption of single-stranded DNA. This fundamental study is useful for the further combination of DNA and porphyrin assemblies to prepare new functional hybrid nanomaterials.

Abstract
The noteworthy beneficiary to date in nanotechnology is cancer management. Nanorobots are developed as the result of advancements in the nanostructure, robotics, healthcare, and computer systems. These devices at the nanoscale level are beneficial in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various health conditions notably cancer. Though these structures have distinct potentialities, the usage of inorganic substances in their construction can affect their performance and can cause health issues in the body. To overcome this, naturally inspired substances are incorporated in the fabrication process of nanorobots termed biomimetic nanorobots that can overcome the immunological responses and reduce the side effects with effective functionalization. These biomimetic nanorobots can widen the opportunities in cancer imaging and therapy. Herein, an up-to-date review of biomimetic nanorobots along with their applications in cancer management is provided. Furthermore, the safety issues and future directions of biomimetic nanorobots to achieve clinical translation are also stated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemodynamic therapy is a promising cancer treatment with specific therapeutic effect at tumor sites, as toxic hydroxyl radical (·OH) could only be generated by Fenton or Fenton-like reaction in the tumor microenvironment (TME) with low pH and high level of endogenous hydrogen peroxide. However, the low concentration of catalytic metal ions, excessive glutathione (GSH) and aggressive hypoxia at tumor site seriously restrict the curative outcomes of conventional chemodynamic therapy. RESULTS In this study, polyethylene glycol-phenylboronic acid (PEG-PBA)-modified generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers were synthesized as a targeted nanocarrier to chelate Cu(II) and then encapsulate hypoxia-sensitive drug tirapazamine (TPZ) by the formation of hydrophobic Cu(II)/TPZ complex for hypoxia-enhanced chemo/chemodynamic therapy. The formed G5.NHAc-PEG-PBA@Cu(II)/TPZ (GPPCT) nanoplatform has good stability and hemocompatibility, and could release Cu(II) ions and TPZ quickly in weakly acidic tumor sites via pH-sensitive dissociation of Cu(II)/TPZ. In vitro experiments showed that the GPPCT nanoplatforms can efficiently target murine breast cancer cells (4T1) cells overexpressing sialic acid residues, and show a significantly enhanced inhibitory effect on hypoxic cells by the activation of TPZ. The excessive GSH in tumors could be depleted by the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I), and abundant of toxic ·OH would be generated in tumor cells by Fenton reaction for chemodynamic therapy. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the GPPCT nanoplatform could specifically accumulate at tumors, effectively inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumors by the combination of CDT and chemotherapy, and be metabolized with no systemic toxicity. CONCLUSIONS The targeted GPPCT nanoplatform may represent an effective model for the synergistic inhibition of different tumor types by hypoxia-enhanced chemo/chemodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, as a recently discovered non-apoptotic programmed cell death with an iron-dependent form, has attracted great attention in the field of cancer nanomedicine. However, many ferroptosis-related nano-inducers encountered unexpected limitations such as immune exposure, low circulation time, and ineffective tumor targeting. Biomimetic nanomaterials possess some unique physicochemical properties which can achieve immune escape and effective tumor targeting. Especially, certain components of biomimetic nanomaterials can further enhance ferroptosis. Therefore, this review will provide a comprehensive overview on recent developments of biomimetic nanomaterials in ferroptosis-related cancer nanomedicine. First, the definition and character of ferroptosis and its current applications associated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy for enhancing cancer theranostics were briefly discussed. Subsequently, the advantages and limitations of some representative biomimetic nanomedicines, including biomembranes, proteins, amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and biomineralization-based ferroptosis nano-inducers, were further spotlighted. This review would therefore help the spectrum of advanced and novice researchers who are interested in this area to quickly zoom in the essential information and glean some provoking ideas to advance this subfield in cancer nanomedicine.

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
Nanotheranostics for fluorescence/magnetic resonance (FL/MR) dual-modal imaging guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) are highly desirable in precision and personalized medicine. In this study, a facile non-covalent electrostatic interaction induced self-assembly strategy is developed to effectively encapsulate gadolinium porphyrin (Gd-TCPP) into homogeneous supramolecular nanoparticles (referred to as Gd-PNPs). Gd-PNPs exhibit the following advantages: (1) excellent FL imaging property, high longitudinal relaxivity (16.157 mM-1 s-1), and good singlet oxygen (1O2) production property; (2) excellent long-term colloidal stability, dispersity and biocompatibility; and (3) enhanced in vivo FL/MR imaging guided tumor growth inhibition efficiency for CT 26 tumor-bearing mice. This study provides a new strategy to design and synthesize metalloporphyrin-based nanotheranostics for imaging-guided cancer therapy with enhanced theranostic properties.

Abstract
A simple strategy for synthesizing supramolecular hybrids was developed for the preparation of bioavailable nanohybrid photosensitizers by assembling visible-light-sensitive Pt(II) meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrinporphyrin (PtTCPP)/tomatine analogues. The hybrids were self-assembled into nanofibrous or nanosheet structures approximately 3-5 nm thick and several micrometers wide. α-Tomatine generated a unique fibrous vesicle nanostructure based on intermolecular interactions, while dehydrotomatine generated nanosheet structures. Nanoassembly of these fibrous vesicles and sheets directly affected the properties of the light-responsive photosensitizer for tumor photodynamic therapy (PDT), depending on the nanostructure of the hybrid PtTCPP/tomatine analogues. The cytotoxicity of PtTCPP to cancer cells under photoirradiation was significantly enhanced by a tomatine assembly with a fibrous vesicle nanostructure, attributable to increased incorporation of the drug into cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE Malignant melanoma is one of the most devastating types of cancer with rapid relapse and low survival rate. Novel strategies for melanoma treatment are currently needed to enhance therapeutic efficiency for this disease. In this study, we fabricated a multifunctional drug delivery system that incorporates dacarbazine (DTIC) and indocyanine green (ICG) into manganese-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN(Mn)) coupled with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photothermal imaging (PI), for achieving the superior antitumor effect of combined chemo-photothermal therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSN(Mn) were characterized in terms of size and structural properties, and drug loading and release efficiency MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC were analyzed by UV spectra. Photothermal imaging effect and MR imaging effect of MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC were detected by thermal imaging system and 3.0 T MRI scanner, respectively. Then, the combined chemo-phototherapy was verified in vitro and in vivo by morphological evaluation, ultrasonic and pathological evaluation. RESULTS The as-synthesized MSN(Mn) were characterized as mesoporous spherical nanoparticles with 125.57±5.96 nm. MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC have the function of drug loading-release which loading ratio of ICG and DTIC could reach to 34.25±2.20% and 50.00±3.24%, and 32.68±2.10% of DTIC was released, respectively. Manganese doping content could reach up to 65.09±2.55 wt%, providing excellent imaging capability in vivo which the corresponding relaxation efficiency was 14.33 mM-1s-1. And outstanding photothermal heating ability and stability highlighted the potential biomedical applicability of MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC to kill cancer cells. Experiments by A375 melanoma cells and tumor-bearing mice demonstrated that the compound MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC have excellent biocompatibility and our combined therapy platform delivered a superior antitumor effect compared to standalone treatment in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that composite MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC could serve as a multifunctional platform to achieve a highly effective chemo-photothermal combined therapy for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Self-assembly is a powerful means to fabricate multifunctional smart nanotheranostics. However, the complicated preparation, toxicity of responsive carriers, and low loading efficiency of drug cargo hinder the outcome. Herein, we developed a responsive carrier-free noncovalent self-assembly strategy of a metallized Au(III) tetra-(4-pyridyl) porphine (AuTPyP) anticancer drug for the preparation of a heat/acid dual-stimulated nanodrug, and it generated a better photothermal effect than monomers under irradiation. The photothermal effect promoted the protonation of the hydrophobic pyridyl group and the following release into tumorous acidic microenvironments. With cRGD modification, the released drug induced the aggravation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the activity inhibition of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Cancer theranostics is a new strategy for combating cancer that integrates cancer imaging and treatment through theranostic agents to provide an efficient and safe way to improve cancer prognosis. Design and synthesis of these cancer theranostic agents are crucial since these agents are required to be biocompatible, tumor-specific, imaging distinguishable and therapeutically efficacious. In this regard, several types of gadolinium (Gd)-based nanomaterials have been introduced to combine different therapeutic agents with Gd to enhance the efficacy of therapeutic agents. At the same time, the entire treatment procedure could be monitored via imaging tools due to incorporation of Gd ions, Gd chelates and Gd/other imaging probes in the theranostic agents. This review aims to overview recent advances in the Gd-based nanomaterials for cancer theranostics and perspectives for Gd nanomaterial-based cancer theranostics are provided.

Abstract
Initially, metal derived nanoparticles have been used exclusively as contrasting agents in magnetic resonance imaging. Today, green routes of chemical synthesis together with numerous modifications of the core and surface gave rise to a plethora of biomedical applications of metal derived nanoparticles including tumor imaging, diagnostics, and therapy. These materials are an emerging class of tools for tumor theranostics. Nevertheless, the spectrum of clinically approved metal nanoparticles remains narrow, as the safety, specificity and efficiency still have to be improved. In this review we summarize the major directions for development and biomedical applications of metal based nanoparticles and analyze their effects on tumor cells and microenvironment. We discuss the advantages and possible limitations of metal nanoparticle-based tumor theranostics, as well as the potential strategies to improve the in vivo performance of these unique materials.

Abstract
Research of nanotechnology for cancer therapy and diagnosis extends beyond drug delivery into the targeted site or surveillance the distribution of nanodrugs in vivo or distinction tumor tissue from normal tissue. To satisfy the clinic needs, nanotheranostic platform should hide the surveillance by immune system and the sequestration by filtration organs (i.e., liver and spleen). Use of biologically derived cellular components in the fabrication of nanoparticles can hide these barriers. In this review, we update the recent progress on cell membrane-coated nanoparticles for cancer theranostics. We hope this review paper can inspire further innovations in biomimetic nanomedicine.

Abstract
A simple and green layer-by-layer assembly strategy is developed for the preparation of a highly bioavailable nanocomposite photosensitizer by assembling near-infrared (NIR) light-sensitive porphyrin/G-quadruplex complexes on the surface of a highly biocompatible nanoparticle that is prepared via Zn2+-assisted coordination self-assembly of an amphiphilic amino acid. After being efficiently delivered to the target site and internalized into tumor cells via enhanced permeability and retention effect and interactions between aptamers and tumor markers, the as-prepared nanoassembly can be directly used as an NIR light-responsive photosensitizer for tumor photodynamic therapy (PDT) since the porphyrin/G-quadruplex complexes are exposed on the nanoassembly surface and kept in an active state. It can also disassemble under the synergistic stimuli of an acidic pH environment and overexpressed glutathione, leasing more efficient porphyrin/G-quadruplex composite photosensitizers while reducing the interference caused by glutathione-dependent 1O2 consumption. Since the nanoassembly can work no matter if it is disassembled or not, the compulsory requirement for in vivo photosensitizer release is eliminated, thus resulting in the great improvement of the bioavailability of the photosensitizer. The PDT applications of the nanoassembly were well demonstrated in both in vitro cell and in vivo animal experiments.
