Abstract
Objective: To conduct bibliometric analysis of the application of inorganic nanomaterials to autoimmune diseases to characterize current research trends and to visualize past and emerging trends in this field in the past 15 years. Methods: The evolution and thematic trends of the application of inorganic nanomaterials to autoimmune diseases from January 1, 1985, to March 15, 2024, were analyzed by bibliometric analysis of data retrieved and extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. A total of 734 relevant reports in the literature were evaluated according to specific characteristics such as year of publication, journal, institution, country/region, references, and keywords. VOSviewer was used to build co-authorship analysis, co-occurrence analysis, co-citation analysis, and network visualization. Some important subtopics identified by bibliometric characterization are further discussed and reviewed. Result: From 2009 to 2024, annual publications worldwide increased from 11 to 95, an increase of 764%. ACS Nano published the most papers (14) with the most citations (1372). China (230 papers, 4922 citations) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (36 papers, 718 citations) are the most productive and influential country and institution, respectively. The first 100 keywords were co-clustered to form four clusters: (1) the application of inorganic nanomaterials in drug delivery, (2) the application of inorganic nano-biosensing to autoimmune diseases, (3) the use of inorganic nanomaterials for imaging applied to autoimmune diseases, and (4) the application of inorganic nanomaterials in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Combination therapy, microvesicles, photothermal therapy (PTT), targeting, diagnostics, transdermal, microneedling, silver nanoparticles, psoriasis, and inflammatory cytokines are the latest high-frequency keywords, marking the emerging frontier of inorganic nanomaterials in the field of autoimmune diseases. Sub-topics were further discussed to help researchers determine the scope of research topics and plan research directions. Conclusion: Over the past 39 years, the application of inorganic nanotechnology to the field of autoimmune diseases shows extensive cooperation between countries and institutions, showing a continuous increase in the number of reports in the literature, and has clinical translation prospects. Future research should further improve the safety of inorganic nanomaterials, clarify the mechanism of action of nanomaterials, establish a standardized nanomaterial preparation and performance evaluation system, and ultimately achieve the goal of early detection and precise treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Dual drug nanoparticle synergistically induced apoptosis, suppressed inflammation, and protected autophagic response in rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes. Immunol Lett 2024; 267:106854. [PMID: 38537719 DOI: 10.1016/j.imlet.2024.106854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immune-mediated joint inflammatory disorder associated with aberrant activation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). Recently, FLS gained importance due to its crucial role in RA pathogenesis, and thus, targeting FLS is suggested as an attractive treatment strategy for RA. FLS-targeted approaches may be combined with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and natural phytochemicals to improve efficacy in RA control and negate immunosuppression. In this study, we assessed the therapeutic effectiveness of DD NP HG in primary RA-FLS cells isolated from the synovial tissue of FCA-induced RA rats. We observed that DD NP HG had good biosafety for healthy FLS cells and, at higher concentrations, a mild inhibitory effect on RA-FLS. The combination therapy (DD NP HG) of MTX NP and PEITC NE in RA-FLS showed a higher rate of apoptosis with significantly reduced LPS-induced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-17A, and IL-6) in arthritic FLS. Further, the gene expression studies showed that DD NP HG significantly down-regulated the mRNA expression of IL-1β, RANKL, NFATc1, DKK1, Bcl-xl, Mcl-1, Atg12, and ULK1, and up-regulated the mRNA expression of OPG, PUMA, NOXA and SQSTM1 in LPS-stimulated RA-FLS cells. Collectively, our results demonstrated that DD NP HG significantly inhibited the RA-FLS proliferation via inducing apoptosis, down-regulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, and further enhancing the expression of genes associated with bone destruction in RA pathogenesis. A nanotechnology approach is a promising strategy for the co-delivery of dual drugs to regulate the RA-FLS function and achieve synergistic treatment of RA.

Abstract
The introduction of glucose oxidase, exhibiting characteristics of glucose consumption and H2O2 production, represents an emerging antineoplastic therapeutic approach that disrupts nutrient supply and promotes efficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the instability of natural enzymes and their low therapeutic efficacy significantly impede their broader application. In this context, 2D Ca2Mn8O16 nanosheets (CMO NSs) designed and engineered to serve as a high-performance nanozyme, enhancing the enzyodynamic effect for a ferroptosis-apoptosis synergistic tumor therapy, are presented. In addition to mimicking activities of glutathione peroxidase, catalase, oxidase, and peroxidase, the engineered CMO NSs exhibit glucose oxidase-mimicking activities. This feature contributes to their antitumor performance through cascade catalytic reactions, involving the disruption of glucose supply, self-supply of H2O2, and subsequent efficient ROS generation. The exogenous Ca2+ released from CMO NSs, along with the endogenous Ca2+ enrichment induced by ROS from the peroxidase- and oxidase-mimicking activities of CMO NSs, collectively mediate Ca2+ overload, leading to apoptosis. Importantly, the ferroptosis process is triggered synchronously through ROS output and glutathione consumption. The application of exogenous ultrasound stimulation further enhances the efficiency of ferroptosis-apoptosis synergistic tumor treatment. This work underscores the crucial role of enzyodynamic performance in ferroptosis-apoptosis synergistic therapy against tumors.

Reactive oxygen/nitrogen species scavenging and inflammatory regulation by renal-targeted bio-inspired rhodium nanozymes for acute kidney injury theranostics.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) results from the rapid deterioration of renal function, which is mainly treated by transplantation and dialysis, and has a high mortality rate. Inflammation induced by excess reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS) plays a crucial role in AKI. Although small molecule antioxidants have been utilized to alleviate AKI, low bioavailability and side-effect of these drugs tremendously limit their clinical use. Hence, we successfully construct ultra-small (2-4 nm) rhodium nanoparticles modified with l-serine (denoted as Rh-Ser). Our results show that Rh-Ser with multiple enzyme-mimicking activities, allows remove various RONS to protect damaged kidney cells. Additionally, the ultrasmall size of Rh-Ser is conducive to enrichment in the renal tubules, and the modification of l-serine enables Rh-Ser to bind to kidney injury molecule-1, which is highly expressed on the surface of damaged renal cells, thereby targeting the damaged kidney and increasing the retention time. Moreover, Rh-Ser allows the production of oxygen at the inflammatory site, thus further improving hypoxia and inhibiting pro-inflammatory macrophages to relieve inflammation, and increasing the survival rate of AKI mice from 0 to 80%, which exhibits a better therapeutic effect than that of small molecule drug. Photoacoustic and fluorescence imaging can effectively monitor and evaluate the enrichment and therapeutic effect of Rh-Ser. Our study provides a promising strategy for the targeted treatment of AKI via RONS scavenging and inflammatory regulation.

Abstract
Background Radiotherapy is an indispensable part of the multidisciplinary treatment of breast cancer (BC). Due to the potential for serious side effects from ionizing radiation in the treatment of breast cancer, which can adversely affect the patient's quality of life, the radiation dose is often limited. This limitation can result in an incomplete eradication of tumors. Methods In this study, biomimetic copper single-atom catalysts (platelet cell membrane camouflaging, PC) were synthesized with the aim of improving the therapeutic outcomes of radiotherapy for BC. Following guidance to the tumor site facilitated by the platelet cell membrane coating, PC releases a copper single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme). This SAzyme enhances therapeutic effects by generating reactive oxygen species from H2O2 and concurrently inhibiting the self-repair mechanisms of cancer cells through the consumption of intracellular glutathione (GSH) within the tumor microenvironment. PC-augmented radiotherapy induces immunogenic cell death, which triggers an immune response to eradicate tumors. Results With the excellent biocompatibility, PC exhibited precise tumor-targeting capabilities. Furthermore, when employed in conjunction with radiotherapy, PC showed impressive tumor elimination results through immunological activation. Remarkably, the tumor suppression rate achieved with PC-enhanced radiotherapy reached an impressive 93.6%. Conclusion Therefore, PC presents an innovative approach for designing radiosensitizers with tumor-specific targeting capabilities, aiming to enhance the therapeutic impact of radiotherapy on BC.

Abstract
Antimicrobial sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has broad application potential in the eradication of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections due to its non-invasiveness, absence of resistance concern, and high cytotoxicity. However, the hypoxic infection microenvironment and the rapid depletion of O2 during SDT severely limit the therapeutic efficacy of SDT. Herein, an ultrasound-controllable ROS-responsive nanoplatform (FOT/Fe3O4@Lipo-ICG) was constructed and prepared by encapsulating FOT and Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) within sonosensitiser ICG-modified liposomes. Both in vitro and in vivo, we observed that ICG conjugation on the surface of liposomes could effectively maintain good dispersion and prevent ICG aggregates in complex biological matrices. In addition, liposomes could significantly block the catalytic activity of Fe3O4 NPs, as well as the release of FOT, whereas upon US irradiation, the catalytic activity of Fe3O4 NPs was recovered to catalyse the decomposition of endogenous H2O2 into O2 and ˙OH. Meanwhile, the FOT was successfully released to react with endogenous glutathione to sequentially produce NO. Based on the aforementioned advantages, the FOT/Fe3O4@Lipo-ICG demonstrated potent efficacy in eradicating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-induced local infection and sepsis resulting from local infection. Thus, the developed US-controllable nanoplatform offers a promising strategy for enhancing SDT for eradicating MDR bacterial infections.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease commonly associated with the accumulation of hyperactive immune cells (HICs), particularly macrophages of pro-inflammatory (M1) phenotype, accompanied by the elevated level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreased pH and O2 content in joint synovium. In this work, an immunomodulatory nanosystem (IMN) is developed for RA therapy by modulating and restoring the function of HICs in inflamed tissues. Manganese tetraoxide nanoparticles (Mn3 O4 ) nanoparticles anchored on UiO-66-NH2 are designed, and then the hybrid is coated with Mn-EGCG film, further wrapped with HA to obtain the final nanocomposite of UiO-66-NH2 @Mn3 O4 /Mn-EGCG@HA (termed as UMnEH). When UMnEH diffuses to the inflammatory site of RA synovium, the stimulation of microwave (MW) irradiation and low pH trigger the slow dissociation of Mn-EGCG film. Then the endogenously overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) disintegrates the exposed Mn3 O4 NPs to promote ROS scavenging and O2 generation. Assisted by MW irradiation, the elevated O2 content in the RA microenvironment down-regulates the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Coupled with the clearance of ROS, it promotes the re-polarization of M1 phenotype macrophages into anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype macrophages. Therefore, the multifunctional UMnEH nanoplatform, as the IMN, exhibits a promising potential to modulate and restore the function of HICs and has an exciting prospect in the treatment of RA.

Abstract
Burgeoning is an evolution from conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT). Thus, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) regulated by nanoparticles (NPs) possesses multiple advantages, including stronger penetration ability, better biological safety, and not reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent tumor-killing effect. However, the limitation to tumor inhibition instead of shrinkage and the incapability of eliminating metastatic tumors hinder the clinical potential for SDT. Fortunately, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) can revive immunological function and induce a long-term immune memory against tumor rechallenges. Hence, synergizing NPs-based SDT with ICB can provide a promising therapeutic outcome for solid tumors. Herein, we briefly reviewed the progress in NPs-based SDT and ICB therapy. We highlighted the synergistic anti-tumor mechanisms and summarized the representative preclinical trials on SDT-assisted immunotherapy. Compared to other reviews, we provided comprehensive and unique perspectives on the innovative sonosensitizers in each trial. Moreover, we also discussed the current challenges and future corresponding solutions.

Abstract
The microenvironment and stem cell fate guidance of post-traumatic articular cartilage regeneration is primarily the focus of cartilage tissue engineering. In articular cartilage, stem cells are characterized by overlapping lineages and uneven effectiveness. Within the first 12 weeks after trauma, the articular inflammatory microenvironment (AIME) plays a decisive role in determining the fate of stem cells and cartilage. The development of fibrocartilage and osteophyte hyperplasia is an adverse outcome of chronic inflammation, which results from an imbalance in the AIME during the cartilage tissue repair process. In this review, the sources for the different types of stem cells and their fate are summarized. The main pathophysiological events that occur within the AIME as well as their protagonists are also discussed. Additionally, regulatory strategies that may guide the fate of stem cells within the AIME are proposed. Finally, strategies that provide insight into AIME pathophysiology are discussed and the design of new materials that match the post-traumatic progress of AIME pathophysiology in a spatial and temporal manner is guided. Thus, by regulating an appropriately modified inflammatory microenvironment, efficient stem cell-mediated tissue repair may be achieved.

Abstract
Inflammatory disease (ID) is a general term that covers all diseases in which chronic inflammation performs as the major manifestation of pathogenesis. Traditional therapies based on the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs are palliative with the short-term remission. The emergence of nanodrugs has been reported to solve the potential causes and prevent recurrences, thus holding great potential for the treatment of IDs. Among various nanomaterial systems, transition metal-based smart nanosystems (TMSNs) with unique electronic structures possess therapeutic advantages owing to their large surface area to volume ratio, high photothermal conversion efficiency, X-ray absorption capacity, and multiple catalytic enzyme activities. In this review, the rationale, design principle, and therapeutic mechanisms of TMSNs for treatments of various IDs are summarized. Specifically, TMSNs can not only be designed to scavenge danger signals, such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and cell-free DNA, but also can be engineered to block the mechanism of initiating inflammatory responses. In addition, TMSNs can be further applied as nanocarriers to deliver anti-inflammatory drugs. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of TMSNs are discussed, and the future directions of TMSN-based ID treatment for clinical applications are emphasized.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has been identified as a culprit in the development of a variety of disorders, including arthritis. Although the emergence of arthritis following SARS-CoV-2 infection may not be immediately discernible, its underlying pathogenesis is likely to involve a complex interplay of infections, oxidative stress, immune responses, abnormal production of inflammatory factors, cellular destruction, etc. Fortunately, recent advancements in nanozymes with enzyme-like activities have shown potent antiviral effects and the ability to inhibit oxidative stress and cytokines and provide immunotherapeutic effects while also safeguarding diverse cell populations. These adaptable nanozymes have already exhibited efficacy in treating common types of arthritis, and their distinctive synergistic therapeutic effects offer great potential in the fight against arthritis associated with COVID-19. In this comprehensive review, we explore the potential of nanozymes in alleviating arthritis following SARS-CoV-2 infection by neutralizing the underlying factors associated with the disease. We also provide a detailed analysis of the common therapeutic pathways employed by these nanozymes and offer insights into how they can be further optimized to effectively address COVID-19-associated arthritis.

Abstract
Rh-based nanozymes show high catalytic efficiency, specific surface area, good stability, and unique physicochemical properties, while magnetic nanozymes facilitate the magnetic separation of detection samples under an external magnetic field for improved sensitivity. However, magnetic Rh nanozymes, especially those with excellent stability, have not been reported. Herein, we apply the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method to prepare a CoRh graphitic nanozyme (termed as CoRh@G nanozyme), which structurally consists of CoRh nanoalloy encapsulated by a few layers of graphene for sensitive colorimetric sensing applications. The proposed CoRh@G nanozyme has superior peroxidase (POD)-like activity, and it shows higher affinity of the CoRh@G nanozyme than horseradish peroxidase (HRP) toward 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzydine (TMB) oxidation. In addition, the CoRh@G nanozyme shows high durability and superior recyclability owing to its protective graphitic shell. The outstanding merits of the CoRh@G nanozyme allow its use for quantitative colorimetric detection of dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA), showing high sensitivity and good selectivity. Moreover, it shows satisfactory performance for AA detection in commercial beverages and energy drinks. The proposed CoRh@G nanozyme-based colorimetric sensing platform shows great promise in point-of-care (POC) visual monitoring.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) is a biofavorable mechanical wave that has shown practical significance in biomedical fields. Due to the cavitation effect, sonoluminescence, sonoporation, pyrolysis, and other biophysical and chemical effects, a wide range of matters have been elucidated to be responsive to the stimulus of US. This review addresses and discusses current developments in US-responsive matters, including US-breakable intermolecular conjugations, US-catalytic sonosensitizers, fluorocarbon compounds, microbubbles, and US-propelled micro- and nanorobots. Meanwhile, the interactions between US and advanced matters create various biochemical products and enhanced mechanical effects, leading to the exploration of potential biomedical applications, from US-facilitated biosensing and diagnostic imaging to US-induced therapeutic applications and clinical translations. Finally, the current challenges are summarized and future perspectives on US-responsive matters in biomedical applications and clinical translations are proposed.

Abstract
Progress has been made in the application of nanomedicine in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. However, the whole process of monitoring and treatment of RA remains a formidable challenge due to the complexity of the chronic autoimmune disease. In this study, we develop a Janus nanoplatform (denoted as Janus-CPS) composed of CeO2-Pt nanozyme subunit on one side and periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) subunit on another side for simultaneous early diagnosis and synergistic therapy of RA. The Janus nanostructure, which enables more active sites to be exposed, enhances the reactive oxygen species scavenging capability of CeO2-Pt nanozyme subunit as compared to their core-shell counterpart. Furthermore, micheliolide (MCL), an extracted compound from natural plants with anti-osteoclastogenesis effects, is loaded into the mesopores of PMO subunit to synergize with the anti-inflammation effect of nanozymes for efficient RA treatment, which has been demonstrated by in vitro cellular experiments and in vivo collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model. In addition, by taking advantage of the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescent imaging, indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded Janus-CPS exhibits desirable effectiveness in detecting RA lesions at a very early stage. It is anticipated that such a Janus nanoplatform may offer an alternative strategy of functional integration for versatile theranostics.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a novel porous organic polymer with periodic and highly ordered structure, are ideal carrier matrix for metal nanoparticles due to high specific surface area, good stability, controllable pore size, and structural tunability. In this work, COFs are used as a carrier to in-situ grow ultrasmall rhodium nanoparticles (Rh NPs, ∼2.4 nm), which are uniformly distributed in the pores and on the surfaces of the COFs. The formed composite (COF-Rh) shows excellent peroxidase-mimetic activity benefiting from the good catalytic activity of ultrafine and highly dispersed Rh NPs as well as the high affinity of COFs to organic molecules (i.e., catalytic substrates). Cysteine (Cys) can inhibit the peroxidase-like activity of COF-Rh due to the interaction of -SH in Cys with Rh and the reduction of oxidized peroxidase substrate by Cys. By regulating the peroxidase-like activity of the system, a colorimetric method is successfully developed for Cys detection. Using smartphone as a readout, a portable strategy is further proposed for rapid and visual sensing of Cys.

Abstract
Current intrinsic deficiencies in biomedicine promote the rapid development of alternative multitasking approaches. Recently, monometallic and alloy nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely studied for their potential biomedical applications. However, the research mainly focuses on monometallic compounds and metal oxide NPs that have already been studied. In this review, we investigate promising modified mono- and bimetallic NPs for improving the current state of materials science in medicine. It was contended that effective general biomedical applications can be enhanced by intelligent NP design. Particularly, we discuss transition and platinum metal compositions, iron-based and non-iron compounds, along with liquid alloys. Subsequently, we explore the capabilities provided by modifications such as inorganic and organic coatings, polymers, and biomolecules that can invent new NP designs for precise applications, ultimately resulting in an improved patient outcome. We provide a comprehensive assessment of the advantages and limitations of monometallic and alloy nanomaterials and possible solutions to problems that delay their development.

Abstract
Given the similarity with photocatalysis, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can be defined as ultrasonic (US) catalysis. Encouraged by the principles of photocatalysis and defect chemistry, defect-rich nickel (Ni)-doped cobaltous oxide (Ni-CoO@PEG) porous hexagonal nanosheets have been synthesized as a sonosensitizer. The doping of Ni decreases the band gap that is testified by density functional theory to increase the US-generated charges. Under US irradiation, Ni-CoO@PEG nanosheets produce 1O2 as an active species that is determined by dissolved O2 and electrons. Moreover, the doping also brings abundant oxygen vacancies (OV) that not only are in favor of efficient separation of electron-hole but also enhance the interaction toward O2, boosting 1O2 generation. In addition, Ni-CoO@PEG shows robust mimic catalase (CAT) and peroxidase characterization to effectively improve the intratumor O2 content and oxidation stress. What is more, the nanosheets also possess glucose oxidase activity that can consume glucose to elevate the H2O2/acid level and to block the intracellular energy supply. The tandem nanozyme behaviors would further regulate the tumor microenvironment for assisting anticancer treatment. It is noted that Ni-CoO@PEG reveals a novel half-metallic feature endowing great magnetism and magnetic resonance imaging capacity. The above synergistic treatments exhibit outstanding anticancer performance that also evokes antitumor immunity to suppress metastasis and recurrence, efficiently.

[PMID: 37056918 PMCID: PMC10085779 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic disease dominated by inflammatory synovitis, which is characterized with hyperplastic synovium, up-regulated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression, hypoxic joint cavity and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Such local adverse microenvironment in RA joints further exacerbates the infiltration of synovial inflammatory cells, especially M1-type macrophages. Regulating intra-articular pathological conditions, eliminating excess M1 macrophages or converting them to an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype may break the vicious progression circle. Herein, we develop a multi-stimulus responsive lipogel as effective platform to relieve RA symptoms and promote articular cartilage recovery via reversing its inflammatory microenvironment. The injectable lipogel is fabricated by loading polydopamine nanoparticles and methotrexate into a thermosensitive gel, and intra-articularly injected to form the therapeutic depot (PDA/MTX@TSG) in situ. The gel degrades slowly under esterase hydrolysis, and maintains sustained drug release in physiological conditions. Meanwhile, it can 1) induce a reversible gel-sol phase transition upon mild photothermal treatment (external NIR light control), and 2) specifically respond to MMP-rich RA microenvironment (internal enzymatic hydrolysis effect). Such stimulus-responsive system can deliver therapeutic components in a controllable manner, and significantly reverse adverse inflammatory microenvironment of RA joints through ROS eliminating, hypoxia alleviating, and M1-M2 macrophage polarization effects. Animal experiments indicate that observable RA relief and joint repair are realized after a single lipogel injection combined with NIR irradiation. Our study highlights the importance of altering local RA microenvironment via anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization, and therefore presents a potent therapeutic strategy for RA treatment in clinical intervention.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the formation of new vessels, synovial proliferation and destruction of articular cartilage. However, characteristic early diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring methods are still lacking. We report a study using a photoacoustic/ultrasound (PA/US) dual-mode imaging for RA disease. By establishing a collagen-induced (CIA) RA mouse model to classify disease states based on a subjective grading system, PA/US imaging allows real-time assessment of synovial erosion and vascular opacification within the knee joint in different disease states at high spatial resolution. The system also quantitatively monitors subcutaneous vascular physiology and morphology in the hind paw of mice, measuring the area and photoacoustic signal intensity of vascular proliferation and showing a positive correlation with disease grading. Compared to traditional subjective scoring of arthritis severity, the PA/US imaging is more sensitive i.e., vascular signals and synovial erosion can be observed early in the course of arthritis.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier breakdown, as a prominent feature after traumatic brain injury, always triggers a cascade of biochemical events like inflammatory response and free radical-mediated oxidative damage, leading to neurological dysfunction. The dynamic monitoring the status of blood-brain barrier will provide potent guidance for adopting appropriate clinical intervention. Here, we engineer a near-infrared-IIb Ag2Te quantum dot-based Mn single-atom catalyst for imaging-guided therapy of blood-brain barrier breakdown of mice after traumatic brain injury. The dynamic change of blood-brain barrier, including the transient cerebral hypoperfusion and cerebrovascular damage, could be resolved with high spatiotemporal resolution (150 ms and ~ 9.6 µm). Notably, the isolated single Mn atoms on the surface of Ag2Te exhibited excellent catalytic activity for scavenging reactive oxygen species to alleviate neuroinflammation in brains. The timely injection of Mn single-atom catalyst guided by imaging significantly promoted the reconstruction of blood-brain barrier and recovery of neurological function after traumatic brain injury.

Abstract
Cancer multidrug resistance (MDR) is an important reason that results in chemotherapy failure. As a main mechanism of MDR, overexpressed P-glycoprotein (P-gp) utilizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to actively pump chemotherapy drugs out of cells. In addition, metabolic reprogramming of drug-resistant tumor cells (DRTCs) exacerbates the specific hypoxic microenvironment and promotes tumor metastasis and recurrence. Therefore, we propose a novel sonodynamic therapy (SDT) paradigm to induce energy metabolism disorder and drug resistance change of DRTCs. A US-controlled "Nanoenabled Energy Metabolism Jammer" (TL@HPN) is designed using perfluoropentane (PFP) adsorbing oxygen in the core, and a targeting peptide (CGNKRTR) is attached to the liposome as the delivery carrier shell to incorporate hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) and paclitaxel (PTX). The TL@HPN with ultrasonic/photoacoustic imaging (PAI/USI) precisely controlled the release of drugs and oxygen after being triggered by ultrasound (US), which attenuated the hypoxic microenvironment. SDT boosted the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in tumor tissues, preferentially inducing mitochondrial apoptosis and maximizing immunogenic cell death (ICD). Persistently elevated oxidative stress levels inhibited ATP production and downregulated P-gp expression by disrupting the redox balance and electron transfer of the respiratory chain. We varied the effect of TL@HPN combined with PD-1/PD-L1 to activate autoimmunity and inhibit tumor metastasis, providing a practical strategy for expanding the use of SDT-mediated tumor energy metabolism.

Abstract
Background: Ultrasound-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT), as a non-invasive approach, has attracted considerable attention in a wide variety of malignant tumors and other diseases. Over the past 2 decades, the number of scientific publications on SDT has increased rapidly. However, there is still a lack of one comprehensive report that summarizes the global research trends and knowledge landscapes in the field of SDT in detail. Thus, we performed a bibliometric analysis on SDT from 2000 to 2021 to track the current hotspots and highlight future directions. Methods: We collected publications on SDT research from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The annual number of publications and citations, major contributors, popular journals, international collaborations, co-cited references and co-occurrence keywords were analyzed and visualized with CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R-bibliometrix. Results: A total of 701 publications were included. The annual publication output increased from 5 in 2000 to 175 in 2021, and the average growth rate was 18.4%. China was the most productive country with 463 documents (66.05%), and Harbin Medical University was the most prolific institution (N = 73). Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology published the most papers related to SDT. Materials Science, and Chemistry were the research areas receiving the most interest. All the keywords were divided into four different clusters including studies on mechanisms, studies on drug delivery and nanoparticles, studies on cancer therapy, as well as studies on ultrasound and sonosensitizers. In addition to nanomaterials-related studies including nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, nanosheets, liposomes, microbubble and TiO2 nanoparticle, the following research directions such as immunogenic cell death, metal-organic framework, photothermal therapy, hypoxia, tumor microenvironment, chemodynamic therapy, combination therapy, tumor resistance, intensity focused ultrasound, drug delivery, and Staphylococcus aureus also deserve further attention and may continue to explode in the future. Conclusion: SDT has a bright future in the field of cancer treatment, and nanomaterials have increasingly influenced the SDT field with the development of nano-technology. Overall, this comprehensive bibliometric study was the first attempt to analyze the field of SDT, which could provide valuable references for later researchers to better understand the global research trends, hotspots and frontiers in this domain.

Abstract
Enzyme-mimicking nanocatalysts, also termed nanozymes, have attracted much attention in recent years. They are considered potential alternatives to natural enzymes due to their multiple catalytic activities and high stability. However, concerns regarding the colloidal stability, catalytic specificity, efficiency and biosafety of nanomaterials in biomedical applications still need to be addressed. Proteins are biodegradable macromolecules that exhibit superior biocompatibility and inherent bioactivities; hence, the protein modification of nanocatalysts is expected to improve their bioavailability to match clinical needs. The diversity of amino acid residues in proteins provides abundant functional groups for the conjugation or encapsulation of nanocatalysts. Moreover, protein encapsulation can not only improve the overall performance of nanocatalysts in biological systems, but also bestow materials with new features, such as targeting and retention in pathological sites. This review aims to report the recent developments and perspectives of protein-encapsulated catalysts in their functional improvements, modification methods and applications in biomedicine.

Abstract
Metastasis of breast cancer is key to poor prognosis and high mortality. However, the excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory response induced by photothermal therapy (PTT) further aggravate tumor metastasis. Meanwhile, the hypoxic tumor microenvironment promotes tumor cells to metastasize to distant organs. Herein, the intrinsic limitations of PTT for metastatic tumor have been addressed by fabricating polyethylene glycol modified iridium tungstate (IrWOx-PEG) nanoparticles. The as-designed IrWOx-PEG nanoparticles displayed good photothermal (PT) conversion ability for duplex photoacoustic/PT imaging guided PTT and multienzyme mimetic feature for broad-spectrum ROS scavenging. On the one hand, IrWOx-PEG effectively removed excess ROS generated during PTT and reduced inflammation. On the other hand, owing to the catalase-like activity, it preferentially triggered the catalytic production of oxygen by decomposing ROS, leading to relieving of the hypoxic microenvironment. Hence, under bimodal imaging guidance, IrWOx-PEG induced PTT completely eliminated in situ breast cancer in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice with no observable system toxicity, as well as further restricting tumor metastasis to other vital organs (lungs) by ROS scavenging, anti-inflammation, and regulating hypoxic microenvironment. We anticipate that this work will lead to new treatment strategies for other metastatic cancers.

An ex vivo evaluation of physico-mechanical and anti-biofilm properties of resin-modified glass ionomer containing ultrasound waves-activated nanoparticles against Streptococcus mutans biofilm around orthodontic bands. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2022; 40:103051. [PMID: 35932962 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2022.103051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study evaluated the physico-mechanical and antimicrobial properties of ultrasound waves-activated modified-resin glass ionomer containing nanosonosensitizers such as nano-curcumin (n-Cur), nano-emodin (n-Emo), and nano-quercetin (n-Qct) against Streptococcus mutans biofilm on the surface of modified-resin glass ionomer bonded orthodontic bands. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 50 human molar teeth were used in this study. The shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), setting time, and fluoride release of modified orthodontics cement containing different concentrations of n-Cur, n-Emo, and n-Qct (0, 2, 5, and 10%) were measured. The antimicrobial effectiveness was assessed against S. mutans by the biofilm inhibition test, and the Log10 colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL was evaluated. RESULTS SBS and setting time of modified glass ionomer decreased compared with the control group. 5% n-Emo, 2% n-Qct, and 5% n-Cur were the highest concentrations that had an insignificant difference in comparison with Transbond XT (P = 0.647, 0.819, and 0.292, respectively). The groups were not significantly different in terms of ARI score (P > 0.05). The highest and lowest setting time belonged to the control and 5% n-Emo groups, respectively; this difference in setting time was significant (P < 0.05). Ultrasound waves and 0.2% CHX significantly reduced S. mutans biofilms compared with the control group (P < 0.001), and minimum S. mutans colony count was shown in 0.2% CHX and 5% n-Emo groups. The addition of nanosonosensitizers to the glass ionomer did not compromise the fluoride release of the glass ionomer. CONCLUSION It could be concluded that resin-modified glass ionomer containing ultrasound waves-activated 5% n-Emo reduces S. mutans biofilm around orthodontic bands with no adverse effect on SBS, ARI, and its application in the clinic.

Abstract
The therapeutic outcomes of oral nanomedicines against colon cancer are heavily compromised by their lack of specific penetration into the internal tumor, favorable anti-tumor activity, and activation of anti-tumor immunity. Herein, hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 )/ultrasound (US)-driven mesoporous manganese oxide (MnOx )-based nanomotors are constructed by loading mitochondrial sonosensitizers into their mesoporous channels and orderly dual-functionalizing their surface with silk fibroin and chondroitin sulfate. The locomotory activities and tumor-targeting capacities of the resultant nanomotors (CS-ID@NMs) are greatly improved in the presence of H2 O2 and US irradiation, inducing efficient mucus-traversing and deep tumor penetration. The excess H2 O2 in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is decomposed into hydroxyl radicals and oxygen by an Mn2+ -mediated Fenton-like reaction, and the produced oxygen participates in sonodynamic therapy (SDT), yielding abundant singlet oxygen. The combined Mn2+ -mediated chemodynamic therapy and SDT cause effective ferropotosis of tumor cells and accelerate the release of tumor antigens. Importantly, animal experiments reveal that the treatment of combining oral hydrogel (chitosan/alginate)-embedding CS-ID@NMs and immune checkpoint inhibitors can simultaneously suppress the growth of primary and distal tumors through direct killing, reversion of immunosuppressive TME, and potentiation of systemic anti-tumor immunity, demonstrating that the CS-ID@NM-based platform is a robust oral system for synergistic treatment of colon cancer.

Abstract
The rapid emergence of pathogenic bacteria poses a serious threat to global health. Notably, traditional antibiotic therapies suffer from the risk of strengthening bacterial drug resistance. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) combining sonosensitizers and low-intensity ultrasound (US) has broadened the way towards treating drug-resistant bacteria. The allure of this therapy emerges from the capacity to focus the US energy on bacterial infection sites buried deep in tissues, locally activating the sonosensitizers to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the ability to induce bacterial death. The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of antibacterial SDT owing to their excellent penetration, favorable biocompatibility and specific targeting ability. This review summarizes available sonosensitizers for antibacterial SDT, and digs into innovative biotechnologies to improve SDT efficiency, such as enhancing the targeting ability of sonosensitizers, image-guided assisted SDT, improvement of hypoxia and combination of SDT with other therapies. Finally, we conclude with the present challenges and provide insights into the future research of antibacterial SDT.

Abstract
A systemic autoimmune condition known as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has a significant impact on patients’ quality of life. Given the complexity of RA’s biology, no single treatment can totally block the disease’s progression. The combined use of co-delivery regimens integrating various diverse mechanisms has been widely acknowledged as a way to make up for the drawbacks of single therapy. These days, co-delivery systems have been frequently utilized for co-treatment, getting over drug limitations, imaging of inflammatory areas, and inducing reactions. Various small molecules, nucleic acid drugs, and enzyme-like agents intended for co-delivery are frequently capable of producing the ability to require positive outcomes. In addition, the excellent response effect of phototherapeutic agents has led to their frequent use for delivery together with chemotherapeutics. In this review, we discuss different types of nano-based co-delivery systems and their advantages, limitations, and future directions. In addition, we review the prospects and predicted challenges for the combining of phototherapeutic agents with conventional drugs, hoping to provide some theoretical support for future in-depth studies of nano-based co-delivery systems and phototherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Arthritis is a group of highly prevalent joint disorders, and osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most common types. The high prevalence of arthritis causes severe burdens on individuals, society and the economy. Currently, the primary treatment of arthritis is to relieve symptoms, but the development of arthritis cannot be effectively prevented. Studies have revealed that the disrupted balance of enzymes determines the pathological changes in arthritis. In particular, the increased levels of matrix metalloproteinases and the decreased expression of endogenous antioxidant enzymes promote the progression of arthritis. New therapeutic strategies have been developed based on the expression characteristics of these enzymes. Biomaterials have been designed that are responsive when the destructive enzymes MMPs are increased or have the activities of the antioxidant enzymes that play a protective role in arthritis. Here, we summarize recent studies on biomaterials associated with MMPs and antioxidant enzymes involved in the pathological process of arthritis. These enzyme-related biomaterials have been shown to be beneficial for arthritis treatment, but there are still some problems that need to be solved to improve efficacy, especially penetrating the deeper layer of articular cartilage and targeting osteoclasts in subchondral bone. In conclusion, enzyme-related nano-therapy is challenging and promising for arthritis treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune systemic disease in which inflammatory and immune cells accumulate in inflamed joints. Researchers aimed at the characteristics of RA to achieve the effect of treating RA through different therapeutic strategies, and have used various endogenous materials to design drug-loaded nanoparticles that can target RA by binding to cell adhesion molecules or chemokines. In some cases, the nanoparticles can respond to the characteristics of the microenvironment. AREAS COVERED This article reviews the recent advances in the treatment of RA from two aspects of therapeutic strategies and delivery strategies. Therapeutic strategies mainly include neutralization of inflammatory factors, promotion of inflammatory cell apoptosis, ROS scavenger, immunosuppression, and bone tissue repair. The drug delivery strategy is mainly described from two aspects: chemically functionalized biomimetic nanoparticles and endogenous nanoparticles. EXPERT OPINION Biomimetic NPs may be effective drug carriers for targeted RA treatment. NPs can reduce the clearance of mononuclear phagocytes, prolong the blood circulation time, and improve the targeting ability. With the deepening of research, more and more biomimetic NPs have entered the clinical trial stage. However, safe and scalable preparation methods are needed to improve their clinical applicability.

Abstract
In this work, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic drug (sparfloxacin (SP)) was selected as a chemotherapy drug and photosensitizer for combined therapy. A facile chemical process was developed to incorporate SP and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) into the thermally sensitive amphiphilic polymer polyethylene glycol-poly(2-hexoxy-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane). In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that 60% of the SP molecules can be released from the micelles of thermal-sensitive polymers using a 1 W cm-2 980 nm laser, and this successfully inhibits cell migration and metastasis by inhibiting type II topoisomerases in nuclei. Additionally, intracellular metal ions were chelated by SP to induce cancer cell apoptosis by decreasing the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase. In particular, the fluoroquinolone molecules produced singlet oxygen (1O2) to kill cancer cells, and this was triggered by UCNPs when irradiation was performed with a 980 nm laser. Overall, SP retained a weak chemotherapeutic effect, achieved enhanced photosensitizer-like effects, and was able to repurpose old drugs to elevate the therapeutic efficacy against cancer, increase the specificity for suppressing tumor migration and proliferation, and enhance apoptosis.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), an essential promoter of tumor progression, has attracted increasing attention as a therapeutic target. In addition to hypoxic cellular conditions, HIF-1 activation can be triggered by cancer treatment, which causes drug tolerance and therapeutic failure. To date, a series of effective strategies have been explored to suppress HIF-1 function, including silencing the HIF-1α gene, inhibiting HIF-1α protein translation, degrading HIF-1α protein, and inhibiting HIF-1 transcription. Furthermore, nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have been widely developed to improve the stability and pharmacokinetics of HIF-1 inhibitors or achieve HIF-1-targeted combination therapies as a nanoplatform. In this review, we summarize the current literature on nanomedicines targeting HIF-1 to combat cancer and discuss their potential for future development.

Abstract
Background Attenuating inflammatory response and relieving pain are two therapeutic therapeutical goals for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs are often associated with many adverse effects due to nonspecific distribution. New drug delivery systems with practical targeting ability and other complementary strategies urgently need to be explored. To achieve this goal, an acupoint drug delivery system that can target deliver anti-inflammatory drugs and simulate acupuncture in relieving pain was constructed, which can co-deliver triptolide (TP) and 2-chloro-N (6)-cyclopentyl adenosine (CCPA). Results We have successfully demonstrated that acupoint nanocomposite hydrogel composed of TP-Human serum album nanoparticles (TP@HSA NPs) and CCPA could effectively treat RA. The result shows that CCPA-Gel can enhance analgesic effects specifically at the acupoint, while the mechanical and thermal pain threshold was 4.9 and 1.6 times compared with non-acupoint, respectively, and the nanocomposite gel further enhanced. Otherwise, the combination of acupoint and nanocomposite hydrogel exerted synergetic improvement of inflammation, bone erosion, and reduction of systemic toxicity. Furthermore, it could regulate inflammatory factors and restore the balance of Th17/Treg cells, which provided a novel and effective treatment strategy for RA. Interestingly, acupoint administration could improve the accumulation of the designed nanomedicine in arthritic paws (13.5% higher than those in non-acupoint at 48 h), which may explain the better therapeutic efficiency and low toxicity. Conclusion This novel therapeutic approach-acupoint nanocomposite hydrogel, builds a bridge between acupuncture and drugs which sheds light on the combination of traditional and modern medicine.
