Abstract
Immunogenic cell death (ICD) shows promising therapeutic potential for tumor regression. However, the low sensitivity and immunosuppressive state of current cell death manners seriously impede tumor immunogenicity. Ferroptosis characterized by excessive lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a potential strategy to induce ICD and activate antitumor immune responses. However, the effectiveness of ferroptosis is limited by antioxidant regulatory networks, including the glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) pathways, presenting challenges for its induction. Herein, they propose a novel approach that involves utilizing functionalized chitosan-ferrocene-sodium alginate (CFA) crosslinked nanogels, which are modified to pravastatin (PRV) and M1 macrophage membrane (MM) (designing as CFA/PRV@MM). Specifically, ferrocene boots intracellular reactive oxygen species levels for efficient glutathione (GSH) depletion through Fenton reaction, thus disrupting the GPX4/GSH axis, while PRV intervenes in the mevalonate pathway to inhibit the FSP1/CoQ10 antioxidant axis, thereby synergistically causing pronounced ferroptotic damage and promoting ICD. The CFA/PRV@MM nanogels demonstrate superior therapeutic efficacy in a mouse breast model, resulting in effective tumor ablation and immune response with minimal side effects. RNA transcription analysis reveals that nanogels can significantly affect metabolic progress, as well as immune activation. This research provides valuable insights into the design of ferroptosis induction for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
The administration of drugs resident to counteract fluid washout has received considerable attention. However, the fabrication of a biocompatible system with adequate adhesion and tissue penetration capability remains challenging. This study presents a cell membrane-inspired carrier at the subcellular scale that facilitates interfacial adhesion and tissue penetration to improve drug delivery efficiency. Both chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) and oleic acid (OA) modified membranes exhibit a high affinity for interacting with the negatively charged glycosaminoglycan layer, demonstrating that the zeta potential of the carrier is the key to determining spontaneous penetration and accumulation within the bladder tissue. In vivo modeling has shown that a high surface charge significantly improves the retention of the drug carrier in the presence of urine washout. Possibly due to charge distribution, electric field gradients, and lipid membrane softening, the high positive surface charge enabled the carriers to penetrate the urinary bladder barrier and/or enter the cell interior. Overall, this study represents a practical and effective delivery strategy for tissue binders.

[PMID: 37664795 PMCID: PMC10468360 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Ferrocene-based nanoparticles have garnered interest as reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive nanocarriers of anticancer drugs and imaging agents. However, their biomedical applications remain limited due to their poor physiological stability. PEGylation of nanocarriers improves their stability and biocompatibility. In this study, we aimed to develop novel PEG-ferrocene nanoparticles (PFNPs) with enhanced stability and ROS responsiveness for the delivery of paclitaxel (PTX) and imaging agents. PEGylation improved the stability of ferrocene nanoparticles, inhibiting their ROS-responsive destruction. Several PEG-ferrocene polymers containing different molar ratios of methacrylic acid and poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate was designed for optimization. ROS-responsive polymers with optimal monomer ratios were self-assembled into PFNPs with enhanced stability. The PFNPs distended, effectively releasing encapsulated PTX and imaging agents within 8 h in the presence of ROS. Furthermore, they remained stable, with no changes in their hydrodynamic diameters or polydispersity indexes after storage in an aqueous solution and biological buffer. The accumulation of PFNPs in a tumor model in vivo was 15-fold higher than a free dye. PTX-loaded PFNPs showed a substantial tumor-suppression effect, reducing tumor size to approximately 18% of that in the corresponding control group. These findings suggest a promising application of ROS-responsive PFNPs in tumor treatment as biocompatible nanocarriers of anticancer drugs and imaging agents.

Abstract
We report an amphiphilic block copolymer via poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-Dlabile-poly(caprolactone)-ferrocene (mPEG-Dlabile-PCL-Fc) to deliver anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). Lipase Novozyme-435 was used as a catalyst for ring-opening polymerization with ε-caprolactone, and an acid-sensitive Schiff base was used to connect the hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts; the ferrocene provided ferrous ions and was introduced at the end of the amphiphilic copolymer. The resulting copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR/13C NMR and could be self-assembled in an aqueous solution to form nanomicelles with PCL-Fc as a hydrophobic core and mPEG as a hydrophilic shell. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the micelles were spherical and nanosized before and after DOX loading. The blank micelles also showed good biocompatibility. The drug-loaded polymeric nanomicelles exhibited a positive anticancer effect relative to the copolymers without ferrocene; the therapeutic effect of drug-loaded micelles containing ferrocene was more obvious. In vitro drug release results also showed that the polymer had a good pH response. Confocal microscopy also showed that polymeric micelles can effectively deliver and release the drug; the polymer containing ferrocene also leads to significantly improved ROS levels in tumor cells. Ferrocene can effectively and synergistically inhibit tumor cells with DOX.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are a versatile class of macromolecules that are involved in many biological interactions critical to life. They can be further modified for added functionality. Once derivatized, these polymers can exhibit new chemical properties that can be further optimized for applications in drug delivery, wound healing, sensor development and others. Chitosan, derived from the N-deacetylation of chitin, is one example of a polysaccharide that has been functionalized and used as a major component of polysaccharide biomaterials. In this brief review, we focus on one aspect of chitosan's utility, namely we discuss recent advances in dual-responsive chitosan hydrogel nanomaterials.

Abstract
The efficacy of ongoing anticancer treatment is often compromised by some barriers, such as low drug content, nonspecific release of drug delivery system, and multidrug resistance (MDR) effect of tumors. Herein, in the research a novel functionalized PEG-based polymer cystine-(polyethylene glycol)2-b-(poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl ferrocenecarboxylate)2) (Cys-(PEG45)2-b-(PMAOEFC)2) with multi-stimuli sensitive mechanism was constructed, in which doxorubicin (DOX) was chemical bonded through Schiff base structure to provide acid labile DOX prodrug (DOX)2-Cys-(PEG45)2-b-(PMAOEFC)2. Afterwards, paclitaxel (PTX) and its diselenide bond linked PTX dimer were encapsulated into the prodrug through physical loading, to achieve pH and triple redox responsive (DOX)2-Cys-(PEG45)2-b-(PMAOEFC)2@PTX and (DOX)2-Cys-(PEG45)2-b-(PMAOEFC)2@PTX dimer with ultrahigh drugs content. The obtained nanovehicles could self-assemble into globular micelles with good stability based on fluorescence spectra and TEM observation. Moreover, there was a remarkable "reassembly-disassembly" behavior caused by phase transition of micelles under the mimic cancerous physiological environment. DOX and PTX could be on-demand released in acid and redox stress mode, respectively. Meanwhile, in vivo anticancer studies revealed the significant tumor inhibition of nanoformulas. This work offered facile strategies to fabricate drug nanaovehicles with tunable drug content and types, it has a profound significance in overcoming MDR effect, which provided more options for sustainable cancer treatment according to the desired drug dosage and the stage of tumor growth.

Abstract
The elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in wounded sites triggers a series of harmful effects, including cellular senescence, fibrotic scar formation, and inflammation. Therefore, alleviating oxidative stress in the microenvironment of wounded sites might promote regenerative wound healing. Generally, ROS-scavenging nanocapsules are effective for treating wounds owing to their anti-oxidative stress activity and targeted effects. In this study, a highly versatile ferrocene functional polymer was synthesized by one-pot radical polymerization, for formulating self-assembled ferrocene nanocapsules (FNCs), which could function as smart carriers of an antioxidant, α-tocopherol (TP), with high stability and loading efficiency. The FNCs showed ROS-sensitive properties, as demonstrated using dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and the controlled release of a model drug in an ROS microenvironment. The antioxidant activity of TP-loaded FNCs, analyzed using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay, was significantly higher than that of unloaded TP. Furthermore, TP-loaded FNCs repressed oxidative damage to mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and reduced intracellular ROS production according to an in vitro antioxidant assay. Most importantly, TP-loaded FNCs showed good biocompatibility and greatly facilitated the healing of infected wounds, as demonstrated using a scratch assay. Therefore, TP-loaded FNCs have potential as an ROS-mediated drug delivery system to treat various oxidative stress-associated diseases.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major clinical issue leading to substantial reductions in the intracellular levels of anticancer drugs. To overcome MDR, stimulus-responsive polymeric nanotherapeutics that facilitate drug release and cellular uptake at target sites have emerged as promising tools for safe and effective cancer treatment. Among these nanotherapeutics, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive nanocapsules are ideal carriers, as abnormally increased ROS levels can drive controlled drug release at target sites. In this study, we developed novel, high ROS-responsive carboxylated ferrocene nanocapsules (CFNCs) using solvents of different polarities for effective multidrug-resistant cancer therapy. The CFNCs were prepared via the self-assembly of an amphiphilic carboxylated ferrocene polymer composed of a hydrophilic COOH segment and a hydrophobic ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate segment possessing a ROS-responsive group. The size and ROS sensitivity of self-assembled CFNCs could be controlled by using solvents of different polarities during the simple nanoprecipitation process. The CFNCs showed a high loading content (approximately 30 wt%) and on-demand release of paclitaxel under both normal and tumor-mimicking conditions, and exhibited synergistic anticancer effects in multidrug-resistant colorectal cancer cells (HCT-15). Our findings suggest that CFNCs can be applied as carriers for effective cancer therapy.

Abstract
Herein, a composite structure, consisting of Cu nanoparticles (NPs) deposited onto carbon nanotubes and modified with ferrocene-branched chitosan, was prepared in order to develop a nonenzymatic electrochemical glucose biosensor ferrocene-chitosan/carbon nanotube@ Cu (Fc-CHIT/CNT@Cu). The elemental composition of the carbon nanohybrids, morphology and structure were characterized by various techniques. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to study the interfacial properties of the electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry methods in alkaline solution were used to determine glucose biosensing properties. The synergy effect of Cu NPs and Fc on current responses of the developed electrode resulted in good glucose sensitivity, including broad linear detection between 0.2 mM and 22 mM, a low detection limit of 13.52 μM and sensitivity of 1.256 μA mM−1cm−2. Moreover, the modified electrode possessed long-term stability and good selectivity in the presence of ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid. The results indicated that this inexpensive electrode had potential application for non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose detection.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most fatal threatens to human health throughout the world. The major challenges in the control and eradication of cancers are the continuous emergency of drug-resistant cancer and the low specificity of anticancer agents, creating an urgent need to develop novel anticancer agents. Organometallic compounds especially ferrocene derivatives possess remarkable structural and mechanistic diversity, inherent stability towards air, heat and light, low toxicity, low cost, reversible redox, ligand exchange, and catalytic properties, making them promising drug candidates for cancer therapy. Ferrocifen, a ferrocene-phenol hybrid, has demonstrated promising anticancer properties on drug-resistant cancers. Currently, Ferrocifen is in pre-clinical trial against cancers. Obviously, ferrocene moiety is a useful template for the development of novel anticancer agents.

Abstract
Chitosan has attracted considerable attention as an anti-tumor drug carrier material in recent years, which is due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability, as well as the simple and mild preparing techniques of drug-loaded nanoparticles. Chitosan-based nanoparticles can deliver various anti-tumor agents to specific tumor tissues by passive and active targeting mechanisms, including traditional chemotherapeutic agents, DNA or siRNA, proteins, photosensitizers and so on. In this review, we summarized the factors affecting the anti-tumor efficacy of chitosan-based nanoparticles, to aid exploring the function-structure relationship. The recent studies on chitosan-based nanoparticles for oncotherapy were highlighted, including their structures, properties and pharmacological effects. Finally, we offered our perspectives on the challenges and future development of this area.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) displays interesting properties for biomedical applications such as high chemical stability, large surface area and tunable pores diameters and volumes, allowing the incorporation of large amounts of drugs, protecting them from deactivation and degradation processes acting as an excellent nanoplatform for drug delivery. However, the functional MSNs do not present the ability to transport the therapeutics without any leakage until reach the targeted cells causing side effects. On the other hand, the hydroxyls groups available on MSNs surface allows the conjugation of specific molecules which can binds to the overexpressed Enhanced Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in many tumors, representing a potential strategy for the cancer treatment. Beyond that, the targeting molecules conjugate onto mesoporous surface increase its cell internalization and act as gatekeepers blocking the mesopores controlling the drug release. In this context, multifunctional MSNs emerge as stimuli-responsive controlled drug delivery systems (CDDS) to overcome drawbacks as low internalization, premature release before to reach the region of interest, several side effects and low effectiveness of the current treatments. This review presents an overview of MSNs fabrication methods and its properties that affects drug delivery as well as stimuli-responsive CDDS for cancer treatment.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Nanomedicine is an application of nanotechnology that provides solutions to unmet medical challenges. The unique features of nanoparticles, such as their small size, modifiable components, and diverse functionality, make them attractive and suitable materials for novel diagnostic, therapeutic, or theranostic applications. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major cause of noncommunicable illness in both developing and developed countries. Nanomedicine offers novel theranostic options for the treatment of CVDs. Recent Advances: Many innovative nanoparticles to target reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been developed. In this article, we review the characteristics of nanoparticles that are responsive to ROS, their limitations, and their potential clinical uses. Significant advances made in diagnosis of atherosclerosis and treatment of acute coronary syndrome using nanoparticles are discussed. CRITICAL ISSUES Although there is a tremendous potential for the nanoparticle applications in medicine, their safety should be considered while using in humans. We discuss the challenges that may be encountered with some of the innovative nanoparticles used in CVDs. FUTURE DIRECTIONS The unique properties of nanoparticles offer novel diagnostic tool and potential therapeutic strategies. However, nanomedicine is still in its infancy, and further in-depth studies are needed before wide clinical application is achieved.

Abstract
A gastric cancer angiogenesis marker peptide, GX1, is promising to be a desirable ligand for anti-angiogenesis targeted drug of gastric cancer treatment. In this study, GX1 was utilized to fabricate a multifunctional vascular targeting docetaxel (DCT)-loaded nanoparticle with N-deoxycholic acid glycol chitosan (DGC) as the carrier and GX1-PEG-deoxycholic acid (GPD) conjugate as the targeting ligand. The mean size of obtained GX1-DGC-DCT was 150.9 nm with a narrow size distribution and their shape was spherical with smooth surface texture. The in vitro drug release test revealed a sustained release manner and an acid pH could accelerate the release compared with the neutral pH. Furthermore, GX1-DGC-DCT showed stronger cytotoxicity against co-cultured gastric cancer cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (co-HUVEC) than DCT within 100 μM. In addition, GX1 efficiently enhanced the cellular uptake of nanoparticles in co-HUVEC cells as confirmed by confocal fluorescence scanning microscopy. Moreover, in vivo delivery of GX1-DGC-DCT was demonstrated to inhibit tumor growth in SGC791 tumor-bearing mice with tumor inhibition rate (TIR) of 67.05% and no weight loss of mice was observed. The anti-tumor effects were further confirmed by H&E and TUNEL analysis. Therefore, this new drug delivery system represents a potential strategy for gastric cancer therapy.

Abstract
Polysaccharides or polymeric carbohydrate molecules are long chains of monosaccharides that are linked by glycosidic bonds. The naturally based structural materials are widely applied in biomedical applications. This article covers four different types of polysaccharides (i.e., alginate, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and dextran) and emphasizes their chemical modification, preparation approaches, preclinical studies, and clinical translations. Different cargo fabrication techniques are also presented in the third section. Recent progresses in preclinical applications are then discussed, including tissue engineering and treatment of diseases in both therapeutic and monitoring aspects. Finally, clinical translational studies with ongoing clinical trials are summarized and reviewed. The promise of new development in nanotechnology and polysaccharide chemistry helps clinical translation of polysaccharide-based drug delivery systems.

Abstract
A pH-responsive amphoteric starch derivative (PRAS) bearing dual functional groups (amino and carboxyl groups) was prepared through etherification of starch with 2-chloro-4,6-diglycino-[1,3,5]-triazine. PRAS exhibits a reversible pH-response property in aqueous solution. The attractive property of PRAS is that it could be used as an effective flocculant for heavy metal-ion (e.g. Cu(ii) and Zn(ii)) removal from wastewater by changing pH. The transition of hydrophobicity–hydrophilicity would produce shrinkage of the polymer matrix, facilitating the release of heavy-metal ions from the saturated flocculant. As an ideal flocculant PRAS displayed outstanding stability and reproducibility, whose remove rate for Cu(ii) and Zn(ii) remained at 93% and 91% after three flocculation/regeneration cycles. A pH-responsive starch-based flocculants containing both cationic and anionic functional groups has been developed. The saturated flocculant can be facilely regenerated and separated from the solution by applying an external pH stimulus.![]()

Abstract
Novel well-defined redox-responsive ferrocene-containing amphiphilic block copolymers (PACMO-b-PAEFC) were synthesized by ATRP, with poly(N-acryloylmorpholine) (PACMO) as hydrophilic blocks and poly(2-acryloyloxyethyl ferrocenecarboxylate) (PAEFC) as hydrophobic blocks. The copolymers were characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopies and gel permeation chromatography, and the crystalline behavior was determined by X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray scattering. The results showed that the size of the lamellar crystals and crystallinity vary with the systematic compositions while the periodic structure of the lamellar stacks has no obvious change. These block copolymers could self-assemble and form globular nanoscaled core-shell micellar aggregates in aqueous solution. The reductive ferrocene groups could be changed into hydrophilic ferrocenium via mild oxidation, whereas the polymer micelles at the oxidation state could reversibly recover from their original states upon reduction by vitamin C. The tunable redox response was investigated and verified by transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and dynamic light scattering measurements. The copolymer micelles were used to entrap anticancer drug paclitaxel (PTX), with high drug encapsulation efficiency of 61.4%, while the PTX-loaded drug formulation exhibited oxidation-controlled drug release, and the release rate could be mediated by the kinds and concentrations of oxidants. MTT assay was performed to disclose the biocompatibility and security of the copolymer micelles and to assess anticancer efficiency of the PTX-loaded nanomicelles. The developed copolymer nanomicelles with reversible redox response are anticipated to have potential in targeted drug delivery systems for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) is an oligomer of β-(1➔4)-linked d-glucosamine. COS can be prepared from the deacetylation and hydrolysis of chitin, which is commonly found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and insects and the cell walls of fungi. COS is water soluble, non-cytotoxic, readily absorbed through the intestine and mainly excreted in the urine. Of particular importance, COS and its derivatives have been demonstrated to possess several biological activities including anti-inflammation, immunostimulation, anti-tumor, anti-obesity, anti-hypertension, anti-Alzheimer's disease, tissue regeneration promotion, drug and DNA delivery enhancement, anti-microbial, anti-oxidation and calcium-absorption enhancement. The mechanisms of actions of COS have been found to involve the modulation of several important pathways including the suppression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This review summarizes the current knowledge of the preparation methods, pharmacokinetic profiles, biological activities, potential therapeutic applications and safety profiles of COS and its derivatives. In addition, future research directions are discussed.

Abstract
Ferrocene-modified poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based microgels were synthesized, characterized, and used to construct optical devices (etalons). The response of the microgels and etalons to H2O2 was investigated, and we show that both the microgel diameter and the optical properties of the etalons depend on the solution concentration of H2O2 from 0.6 to 35 mM. This behavior is a direct result of the oxidation of ferrocene, which influences the microgel diameter. This was also demonstrated by electrochemical-mediated oxidation/reduction of ferrocene using cyclic voltammetry. We go on to show that these materials could be used to monitor H2O2 that is generated from enzymatic reactions. Specifically, we show that the H2O2 generated from the oxidation of glucose catalyzed by glucose oxidase could be quantified. Finally, the devices can be reused multiple times via a regeneration process. This investigation illustrates the versatility of the etalon system to detect species of broad relevance and how they could potentially be used to quantify products of biological reactions.

Abstract
We present a cancer nanomedicine based on acidic pH targeted gold nanorods designed for multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT). We have designed gold nanorods coated with mesoporous silica and subsequently capped with chitosan (CMGs). We have conjugated pH-sensitive variant 7 pHLIP peptide to the CMGs (V7-CMG) to provide targeting specificity to the acidic tumor microenvironment. In vitro, treatment of S2VP10 and MiaPaca2 cells with V7-CMG containing gemcitabine resulted in significantly greater cytotoxicity with 97% and 96.5% cell death, respectively than gemcitabine alone 60% and 76% death at pH 6.5 (S2VP10 pH 6.5 p=0.009; MiaPaca2 pH 6.5 p=0.0197). In vivo, the V7-CMGs provided the contrast and targeting specificity necessary for MSOT of retroperitoneal orthotopic pancreatic tumors. In the in vivo S2VP10 model, the V7-CMG particle preferentially accumulated within the tumor at 17.1 MSOT a.u. signal compared with 0.7 MSOT a.u. in untargeted CMG control in tumor (P = 0.0002). Similarly, V7-CMG signal was 9.34 MSOT a.u. in the S2013 model compared with untargeted CMG signal at 0.15 MSOT a.u. (P = 0.0004). The pH-sensitivity of the targeting pHLIP peptide and chitosan coating makes the particles suitable for simultaneous in vivo tumor imaging and drug delivery.

Abstract
In this paper, the preparation, characterization, and ameliorative effect on high-fat high-sucrose diet-induced hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, oxidative stress in mice of novel oxovanadium(IV)/chitosan (OV/CS) nanocomposites were investigated. The nanobiocomposite was produced by chemical reduction by chitosan and L-ascorbic acid using microwave heating, under environment-friendly conditions, using aqueous solutions, and notably, by using both mediators as reducing and stabilizing agents. In addition, OV/CS nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, particle size, and zeta potential measurements. In vivo experiments were designed to examine whether the OV/CS nanocomposites would provide additional benefits on oxidative stress, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance in mice with type 2 diabetes. The results rendered insulin resistant by treating with OV/CS nanocomposites alleviate insulin resistance and improve oxidative stress. Such nanocomposite seem to be a valuable therapy to achieve and/or maintain glycemic control and therapeutic agents in the treatment arsenal for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Previous reports indicate that N-acetyl-d-glucosamine oligomers (chitin oligosaccharide; NACOS) and d-glucosamine oligomers (chitosan oligosaccharide; COS) have various biological activities, especially against cancer and inflammation. In this review, we have summarized the findings of previous investigations that have focused on anticancer or anti-inflammatory properties of NACOS and COS. Moreover, we have introduced recent evaluation of NACOS and COS as functional foods against cancer and inflammatory disease.
