Abstract
Conventional tumor diagnosis and treatment approaches have significant limitations in clinical application, whereas personalized theranostistic nanoplatforms can ensure advanced diagnosis, precise treatment, and even a good prognosis in cancer. Tumor microenvironment (TME)-targeted therapeutic strategies offer absolute advantages in all aspects compared to tumor cell-targeted therapeutic strategies. It is essential to create a TME-responsive all-in-one nanotheranostic platform to facilitate individualized tumor treatment. Based on the TME-responsive multifunctional nanotheranostic platform, we focus on the combined use of multimodal imaging and therapeutic protocols and summary and outlooks on the latest advanced nanomaterials and structures for creating the integrated nanotheranostic system based on material science, which provide insights and reflections on the development of innovative TME-targeting tools for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) is burgeoning because of its higher imaging fidelity in monitoring physiological and pathological processes than clinical visible/the second near-infrared window fluorescence imaging. Notably, the imaging fidelity is heavily dependent on fluorescence agents. So far, indocyanine green, one of the polymethine dyes, with good biocompatibility and renal clearance is the only dye approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but it shows relatively low NIR-II brightness. Importantly, tremendous efforts are devoted to synthesizing polymethine dyes for imaging preclinically and clinically. They have shown feasibility in the customization of structure and properties to fulfill various needs in imaging and therapy. Herein, a timely update on NIR-II polymethine dyes, with a special focus on molecular design strategies for fluorescent, photoacoustic, and multimodal imaging, is offered. Furthermore, the progress of polymethine dyes in sensing pathological biomarkers and even reporting drug release is illustrated. Moreover, the NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided therapies with polymethine dyes are summarized regarding chemo-, photothermal, photodynamic, and multimodal approaches. In addition, artificial intelligence is pointed out for its potential to expedite dye development. This comprehensive review will inspire interest among a wide audience and offer a handbook for people with an interest in NIR-II polymethine dyes.

Tumor-derived extracellular vesicle drug delivery system for chemo-photothermal-immune combination cancer treatment. iScience 2024; 27:108833.

Abstract
Tumor extracellular vesicles (EVs) demonstrate considerable promise for medication delivery and tumor targeting owing to their natural long-term blood circulation and tissue targeting capabilities. We extracted EVs from mouse breast cancer cell 4T1 using UV stimulation and differential centrifugation. To create a new nano-drug delivery system, the vesicle delivery system (EPM) loaded with melanin and paclitaxel albumin (PA), the collected EVs were repeatedly compressed on a 200 nm porous polycarbonate membrane with melanin and PA. Our findings suggest that EPM is readily absorbed by breast cancer and dendritic cells. EPM generates significant photoacoustic signals and photothermal effects when exposed to near-infrared light and can enhance the infiltration of CD8+ T cells in mouse tumor tissues. EPM is more cytotoxic than PA in in vivo and in vitro investigations. The efficacy of EPM in clinical transformation when paired with chemotherapy/photothermal/immunotherapy treatment is demonstrated in this study.

Abstract
Phosphorescence, characterized by luminescent lifetimes significantly longer than that of biological autofluorescence under ambient environment, is of great value for biomedical applications. Academic evidence of fluorescence imaging indicates that virtually all imaging metrics (sensitivity, resolution, and penetration depths) are improved when progressing into longer wavelength regions, especially the recently reported second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window. Although the emission wavelength of probes does matter, it is not clear whether the guideline of "the longer the wavelength, the better the imaging effect" is still suitable for developing phosphorescent probes. For tissue-specific bioimaging, long-lived probes, even if they emit visible phosphorescence, enable accurate visualization of large deep tissues. For studies dealing with bioimaging of tiny biological architectures or dynamic physiopathological activities, the prerequisite is rigorous planning of long-wavelength phosphorescence, being aware of the cooperative contribution of long wavelengths and long lifetimes for improving the spatiotemporal resolution, penetration depth, and sensitivity of bioimaging. In this Review, emerging molecular engineering methods of room-temperature phosphorescence are discussed through the lens of photophysical mechanisms. We highlight the roles of phosphorescence with emission from visible to NIR-II windows toward bioapplications. To appreciate such advances, challenges and prospects in rapidly growing studies of room-temperature phosphorescence are described.

Biomaterials 2023; 303:122380.

Abstract
Developing nanoplatforms integrating superior fluorescence imaging ability in second near-infrared (NIR-II) window and tumor microenvironment responsive multi-modal therapy holds great potential for real-time feedback of therapeutic efficacy and optimizing tumor inhibition. Herein, we developed a pH-sensitive pyrrolopyrrole aza-BODIPY-based amphiphilic molecule (PTG), which has a balanced NIR-II fluorescence brightness and photothermal effect. PTG is further co-assembled with a vascular disrupting agent (known as DMXAA) to prepare PTDG nanoparticles for combined anti-vascular/photothermal therapy and real-time monitoring of the tumor vascular disruption. Each PTG molecule has an active PT-3 core which is linked to two PEG chains via pH-sensitive ester bonds. The cleavage of ester bonds in the acidic tumor environment would tricker releases of DMXAA for anti-vascular therapy and further assemble PT-3 cores into micrometer particles for long term monitoring of the tumor progression. Furthermore, benefiting from the high brightness in the NIR-II region (119.61 M-1 cm-1) and long blood circulation time (t1/2 = 235.6 min) of PTDG nanoparticles, the tumor vascular disrupting process can be in situ visualized in real time during treatment. Overall, this study demonstrates a self-assembly strategy to build a pH-responsive NIR-II nanoplatform for real-time monitoring of tumor vascular disruption, long-term tracking tumor progression and combined anti-vascular/photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Phototherapy (including photothermal therapy, PTT; and photodynamic therapy, PDT) has been widely used for cancer treatment, but conventional PTT/PDT show limited therapeutic effects due to the lack of disease recognition ability. The integration of fluorescence imaging with PTT/PDT can reveal tumor locations in a real-time manner, holding great potential in early diagnosis and precision treatment of cancers. However, the traditional fluorescence imaging in the visible and near-infrared-I regions (VIS/NIR-I, 400-900 nm) might be interfered by the scattering and autofluorescence from tissues, leading to a low imaging resolution and high false positive rate. The deeper near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence imaging can address these interferences. Combining NIR-II fluorescence imaging with PTT/PDT can significantly improve the accuracy of tumor theranostics and minimize damages to normal tissues. This review summarized recent advances in tumor PTT/PDT and NIR-II fluorophores, especially discussed achievements, challenges and prospects around NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided PTT/PDT for cancers.

Abstract
Second near infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence lifetime imaging is a powerful tool for biosensing, anti-counterfeiting, and multiplex imaging. However, the low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of fluorescence probes in NIR-II region limits its data collecting efficiency and accuracy, especially in multiplex molecular imaging in vivo. To solve this problem, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (NPs) β-NaErF4 : 2%Ce@NaYbF4 @NaYF4 with high PLQY and tunable PL lifetime through multi-ion doping and core-shell structural design, are presented. The obtained internal PLQY can reach up to 50.1% in cyclohexane and 9.2% in water under excitation at 980 nm. Inspired by the above results, a fast NIR-II fluorescence lifetime imaging of whole-body vascular in mice is successfully performed by using the homebuilt fluorescence lifetime imaging system, which reveals a murine abdominal capillary network with low background. A further demonstration of fluorescence lifetime multiplex imaging is carried out in molecular imaging of atherosclerosis cells and different organs in vivo through NPs conjugating with specific peptides and different injection modalities, respectively. These results demonstrate that the high PLQY NPs combined with the homebuilt fluorescence lifetime imaging system can realize a fast and high signal-to-noise fluorescence lifetime imaging; thus, opening a road for multiplex molecular imaging of atherosclerosis.

Acta Biomater 2023:S1742-7061(23)00350-1. [PMID: 37369265 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.06.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
Antibiotics show unsuccessful application in biofilm destruction, which induce chronic infections and emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), as widely accepted antimicrobial tools of phototherapy, could effectively activate the immune system and promote the proliferation of wound tissue, thus becoming the most promising therapeutic strategy to replace antibiotics and avoid drug-resistant strains. However, there is no consensus on whether antibacterial and wound healing achieved by PDT/PTT depend not only on the cytotoxic effect of the treatment itself, but also on the activation of host immune system. In this study, CaSiO3-ClO2@PDA-ICG nanoparticles (CCPI NPs) were designed as PDT/PTT antimicrobial model material. With the comparison of healing effect between wide-type mice and severely immunodeficient (C-NKG) mice, the dependence of PDT/PTT-induced microbial apoptosis and wound healing on immune activation and macrophage phenotype transformation was explored and verified. Furthermore, the induced phenotypic transformation of macrophages during PDT/PTT treatment was demonstrated to play crucial role in the improvement of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT). In summary, this study represents great significance for further identifying the role of immune system activation in antibacterial phototherapy and developing new treatment strategies for biofilm-infected wound healing. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A PDT/PTT combination therapy model nanoparticle was established for biofilm-infected wounds. Both microbial apoptosis and wound healing achieved by PDT/PTT combination therapy were highly dependent on the activated immune system, especially the M2 macrophage phenotype. PDT/PTT could promote the polarization of monocytes to the phenotype of M2 macrophages, which promotes EMT behavior of the tissue at the edge of the wound through the secretion of TGF-β1, thus accelerating wound healing.

Fan C, Wang X, Wang Y, Xi Z, Wang Y, Zhu S, Wang M, Xu L. Fabricating a PDA-Liposome Dual-Film Coated Hollow Mesoporous Silica Nanoplatform for Chemo-Photothermal Synergistic Antitumor Therapy. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15041128. [PMID: 37111615 PMCID: PMC10144002 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15041128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, we synthesized hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) coated with polydopamine (PDA) and a D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS)-modified hybrid lipid membrane (denoted as HMSNs-PDA@liposome-TPGS) to load doxorubicin (DOX), which achieved the integration of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (PTT). Dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption/desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) were used to show the successful fabrication of the nanocarrier. Simultaneously, in vitro drug release experiments showed the pH/NIR-laser-triggered DOX release profiles, which could enhance the synergistic therapeutic anticancer effect. Hemolysis tests, non-specific protein adsorption tests, and in vivo pharmacokinetics studies exhibited that the HMSNs-PDA@liposome-TPGS had a prolonged blood circulation time and greater hemocompatibility compared with HMSNs-PDA. Cellular uptake experiments demonstrated that HMSNs-PDA@liposome-TPGS had a high cellular uptake efficiency. In vitro and in vivo antitumor efficiency evaluations showed that the HMSNs-PDA@liposome-TPGS + NIR group had a desirable inhibitory activity on tumor growth. In conclusion, HMSNs-PDA@liposome-TPGS successfully achieved the synergistic combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy, and is expected to become one of the candidates for the combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy antitumor strategies.

Molecular Oligomerization and Donor Engineering Strategies for Achieving Superior NIR-II Fluorescence Imaging and Thermotherapy under 1064 nm Laser Irradiation. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2205640.

Abstract
An enormous challenge still exists for designing molecules with the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window absorption, NIR-II fluorescence emission, and batch-to-batch reproducibility, which is the premise for high-performance NIR-II phototheranostics. Although organic small molecules and polymers have been largely explored for phototheranostics, it is difficult to satisfy the above three elements simultaneously. In this work, molecular oligomerization (the general structure is S-D-A-D'-A-D-S) and donor engineering (changing the donor linker D') strategies are applied to design phototheranostic agents. Such strategies are proved to be efficient in adjusting molecular configuration and energy level, affecting the optical and thermal properties. Three oligomers (O-T, O-DT, and O-Q) are further prepared into water-soluble nanoparticles (NPs). Particularly, the O-T NPs exhibit a higher molar extinction coefficient at 1064 nm (≈4.3-fold of O-DT NPs and ≈4.8-fold of O-Q NPs). Furthermore, the O-T NPs show the highest NIR-II fluorescence brightness and heating capacity (PCE = 73%) among the three NPs under 1064 nm laser irradiation and served as agents for NIR-II imaging guided in vivo photothermal therapy. Overall, by using molecular oligomerization and donor engineering strategies, a powerful example of constructing high-performance NIR-II phototheranostics for clinical translation is given.
