Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has emerged as a transformative paradigm in the realm of reactive oxygen species -mediated cancer therapies, exhibiting its potential as a sophisticated strategy for precise and effective tumor treatment. CDT primarily relies on metal ions and hydrogen peroxide to initiate Fenton or Fenton-like reactions, generating cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals. Its notable advantages in cancer treatment are demonstrated, including tumor specificity, autonomy from external triggers, and a favorable side-effect profile. Recent advancements in nanomedicine are devoted to enhancing CDT, promising a comprehensive optimization of CDT efficacy. This review systematically elucidates cutting-edge achievements in chemodynamic nanotherapeutics, exploring strategies for enhanced Fenton or Fenton-like reactions, improved tumor microenvironment modulation, and precise regulation in energy metabolism. Moreover, a detailed analysis of diverse CDT-mediated combination therapies is provided. Finally, the review concludes with a comprehensive discussion of the prospects and intrinsic challenges to the application of chemodynamic nanotherapeutics in the domain of cancer treatment.

Antibiotic-free ocular sterilization while suppressing immune response to protect corneal transparency in infectious keratitis treatment. J Control Release 2024; 374:563-576. [PMID: 39186983 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2024.08.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
Clinical guidelines for infectious keratitis treatment require that anti-inflammatory drugs can only be used after infection elimination, which causes irreversible inflammatory damage to the cornea. In this work, photodynamic metal organic frameworks (PCN-224) were used as drug carrier to load Pt NPs with catalase-like activity and anti-inflammatory drug (Dexamethasone, DXMS) for endogenous oxygen generation and reduced corneal damage, respectively. The photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect was greatly enhanced in bacteria elimination and bacterial biofilms removal through catalysis of overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, ∼8.0 and 31.0 μM in bacterial solution and biofilms, respectively) into oxygen by Pt NPs. More importantly, the cationic liposome modified PCN-224@Pt@DXMS@Liposomes (PPDL NPs) greatly enhanced the adhesion to negatively charged ocular surface and penetration into corneal barrier and bacterial biofilms. Both in vitro cell viability test and in vivo eye irritation tests proved good biocompatibility of PPDL NPs under 660 nm laser irradiation. Furthermore, PDT of PPDL NPs in rapid bacteria killing was verified through infectious keratitis animal model. The superior bactericidal effect of antibacterial materials could largely replace the bactericidal effect of the immune system. It is worth mentioning that this simultaneous sterilization and anti-inflammation treatment mode is a new exploration against the clinical treatment guidelines.

Nanoparticles, due to their unique physical and chemical properties, can carry therapeutic payloads, navigate biological barriers, and selectively target cancer cells. Metal-based nanoparticles, in particular, offer unique properties suitable for various therapeutic applications. Recent advancements have focused on the integration of metal-based nanoparticles to enhance the efficacy and precision of photodynamic therapy. Integrating nanotechnology into cancer therapy represents a paradigm shift, enabling the development of strategies with enhanced specificity and reduced off-target effects. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the pivotal role of metal-based nanoparticles in photodynamic therapy. We explore the mechanisms, biocompatibility, and applications of metal-based nanoparticles in photodynamic therapy, highlighting the challenges and the limitations in their use, as well as the combining of metal-based nanoparticles/photodynamic therapy with other strategies as a synergistic therapeutic approach for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nanoscale drug delivery systems derived from natural bioactive materials accelerate the innovation and evolution of cancer treatment modalities. Morusin (Mor) is a prenylated flavonoid compound with high cancer chemoprevention activity, however, the poor water solubility, low active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) loading content, and instability compromise its bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. Herein, a full-API carrier-free nanoparticle is developed based on the self-assembly of indocyanine green (ICG), copper ions (Cu2+) and Mor, termed as IMCNs, via coordination-driven and π-π stacking for synergistic tumor therapy. The IMCNs exhibits a desirable loading content of Mor (58.7 %) and pH/glutathione (GSH)-responsive motif. Moreover, the photothermal stability and photo-heat conversion efficiency (42.8 %) of IMCNs are improved after coordination with Cu2+ and help to achieve photothermal therapy. Afterward, the released Cu2+ depletes intracellular overexpressed GSH and mediates Fenton-like reactions, and further synergizes with ICG at high temperatures to expand oxidative damage. Furthermore, the released Mor elicits cytoplasmic vacuolation, expedites mitochondrial dysfunction, and exerts chemo-photothermal therapy after being combined with ICG to suppress the migration of residual live tumor cells. In vivo experiments demonstrate that IMCNs under laser irradiation could excellently inhibit tumor growth (89.6 %) through the multi-modal therapeutic performance of self-enhanced chemotherapy/coordinated-drugs/ photothermal therapy (PTT), presenting a great potential for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cancer, with its diversity, heterogeneity, and complexity, is a significant contributor to global morbidity, disability, and mortality, highlighting the necessity for transformative treatment approaches. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has aroused continuous interest as a viable alternative to conventional cancer treatments that encounter drug resistance. Nanotechnology has brought new advances in medicine and has shown great potential in drug delivery and cancer treatment. For precise and efficient therapeutic utilization of such a tumor therapeutic approach with high spatiotemporal selectivity and minimal invasiveness, the carrier-free noncovalent nanoparticles (NPs) based on chemo-photodynamic combination therapy is essential. Utilizing natural products as the foundation for nanodrug development offers unparalleled advantages, including exceptional pharmacological activity, easy functionalization/modification, and well biocompatibility. The natural-product-based, carrier-free, noncovalent NPs revealed excellent synergistic anticancer activity in comparison with free photosensitizers and free bioactive natural products, representing an alternative and favorable combination therapeutic avenue to improve therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a comprehensive summary of current strategies and representative application examples of carrier-free noncovalent NPs in the past decade based on natural products (such as paclitaxel, 10-hydroxycamptothecin, doxorubicin, etoposide, combretastatin A4, epigallocatechin gallate, and curcumin) for tumor chemo-photodynamic combination therapy. We highlight the insightful design and synthesis of the smart carrier-free NPs that aim to enhance PDT efficacy. Meanwhile, we discuss the future challenges and potential opportunities associated with these NPs to provide new enlightenment, spur innovative ideas, and facilitate PDT-mediated clinical transformation.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a glioma and the most aggressive type of brain tumor with a dismal average survival time, despite the standard of care. One promising alternative therapy is boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), which is a noninvasive therapy for treating locally invasive malignant tumors, such as glioma. BNCT involves boron-10 isotope capturing neutrons to form boron-11, which then releases radiation directly into tumor cells with minimal damage to healthy tissues. This therapy lacks clinically approved targeted blood-brain-barrier-permeating delivery vehicles for the central nervous system (CNS) entry of therapeutic boron-10. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are selective and effective drug-delivery vehicles because of their desirable properties, facile synthesis, and biocompatibility. This review discusses biomedical/therapeutic applications of GNPs as a drug delivery vehicle, with an emphasis on their potential for carrying therapeutic drugs, imaging agents, and GBM-targeting antibodies/peptides for treating glioma. The constraints of GNP therapeutic efficacy and biosafety are discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has gained significant attention due to its superiority over conventional treatments. In the context of skin cancers and nonmalignant skin diseases, topical application of photosensitizer formulations onto affected skin, followed by illumination, offers distinct advantages. Topical PDT simplifies therapy by providing easy access to the skin, increasing drug concentration within the target area, and confining residual photosensitivity to the treated skin. However, the effectiveness of topical PDT is often hindered by challenges such as limited skin penetration or photosensitizer instability. Additionally, the hypoxic tumor environment poses further limitations. Nanocarriers present a promising solution to address these challenges. AREAS COVERED The objective of this review is to comprehensively explore and highlight the role of various nanocarriers in advancing topical PDT for the treatment of skin diseases. The primary focus is to address the challenges associated with conventional topical PDT approaches and demonstrate how nanotechnology-based strategies can overcome these challenges, thereby improving the overall efficiency and efficacy of PDT. EXPERT OPINION Nanotechnology has revolutionized the field of PDT, offering innovative tools to combat the unfavorable features of photosensitizers and hurdles in PDT. Nanocarriers enhance skin penetration and stability of photosensitizers, provide controlled drug release, reduce needed dose, increase production of reactive oxygen species, while reducing side effects, thereby improving PDT effectiveness.

Abstract
Aim To produce pH-responsive bionic high photothermal conversion nanoparticles actively targeting tumors for sensitizing photothermal therapy (PTT). Materials and Methods The bionic nanoparticles (ICG-PEI@HM NPs) were prepared by electrostatic adsorption of indocyanine green (ICG) coupled to polyethyleneimine (PEI) and modified with tumor cell membranes. In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to investigate the efficacy of ICG-PEI@HM-mediated PTT. Results The intelligent responsiveness of ICG-PEI@HM to pH promoted the accumulation of ICG and enhanced the PTT performance of ICG-PEI@HM NPs. Compared with free ICG, NPs exhibited great photothermal stability, cellular uptake, and active tumor targeting for PTT. Conclusion ICG-PEI@HM NPs can enhance the efficacy of PTT and can be used as a new strategy for the construction of photothermal agents.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has witnessed significant advancements in recent years due to its specific properties. Its association with photodynamic therapy (PDT) has also garnered increased attention due to its mutually reinforcing effects. However, achieving further enhancement of the CDT/PDT efficacy remains a major challenge. In this study, we have developed an integrated nanosystem comprising a Fenton catalyst and multifunctional photosensitizers to achieve triply enhanced CDT/PDT through photothermal effects, H2O2 elevation, and GSH consumption. We prepared nano-ZIF-8 vesicles as carriers to encapsulate ferrocene-(phenylboronic acid pinacol ester) conjugates (Fc-BE) and photosensitizers IR825. Subsequently, cinnamaldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-CA) was coated onto ZIF-8 through metal coordination interactions, resulting in the formation of active targeting nanoparticles (NPs@Fc-BE&IR825). Upon cellular internalization mediated by CD44 receptors, HA-CA elevated H2O2 levels, while released Fc-BE consumed GSH and catalyzed H2O2 to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Furthermore, NIR irradiation led to increased ·OH production and the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2), accompanied by a greater GSH consumption. This accelerated and strengthened amplification of oxidative stress can be harnessed to develop highly effective CDT/PDT nanoagents.

Abstract
The development of smart theranostic nanoplatforms has gained great interest in effective cancer treatment against the complex tumor microenvironment (TME), including weak acidity, hypoxia, and glutathione (GSH) overexpression. Herein, a TME-responsive nanoplatform named PMICApt /ICG, based on PB:Mn&Ir@CaCO3 Aptamer /ICG, is designed for the competent synergistic photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) under the guidance of photothermal and magnetic resonance imaging. The nanoplatform's aptamer modification targeting the transferrin receptor and the epithelial cell adhesion molecule on breast cancer cells, and the acid degradable CaCO3 shell allow for effective tumor accumulation and TME-responsive payload release in situ. The nanoplatform also exhibits excellent PDT properties due to its ability to generate O2 and consume antioxidant GSH in tumors. Additionally, the synergistic therapy is achieved by a single wavelength of near-infrared laser. RNA sequencing is performed to identify differentially expressed genes, which show that the expressions of proliferation and migration-associated genes are inhibited, while the apoptosis and immune response gene expressions are upregulated after the synergistic treatments. This multifunctional nanoplatform that responds to the TME to realize the on-demand payload release and enhance PDT induced by TME modulation holds great promise for clinical applications in tumor therapy.

[PMID: 37927561 PMCID: PMC10620604 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1273388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Three different shapes of gold nanoparticles were synthesized in this experiment. At the same time, studies compared their effects with human serum albumin (HSA). Methods: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with three different morphologies, such as, nanospheres (AuNSs), nanorods (AuNRs), and nanoflowers (AuNFs) were synthesized via a seeding method and their characteristic absorption peaks were detected using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy, Telectron microscopy (TEM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Zeta potential measurements, circular dichroism (CD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to study the interactions between them and HSA. By comparing the thermodynamic parameters and quenching mechanism of the three materials, similarities and differences were determined in their interactions with HSA. Results: The results showed that with an increase in the concentration of the AuNPs with the three different morphologies, the UV-vis absorption peak intensity of the mixed solution increased, but its fluorescence intensity was quenched. This indicates that the three types of AuNPs interact with HSA, and that the interactions between them represent a static quenching process, which is consistent with the conclusions derived from three-dimensional fluorescence experiments. Through variable-temperature fluorescence experiments, the binding constants, number of binding sites, and thermodynamic parameters of the interactions between the three types of AuNPs and HSA were determined. The Gibbs free energy changes were <0, indicating that the reactions of the three types of AuNPs with HSA are spontaneous, resulting in associated matter. Binding constant measurements indicated that the strongest binding took place between the AuNFs and HSA. In addition, the results of fluorescence, CD spectroscopy, and FTIR showed that three different shapes of AuNPs can induce conformational changes in HSA and reduce the α-helix content. Among them, AuNFs have the smallest ability to induce conformational changes. Discussion: According to studies, AuNFs interact more favorably with HSA. This can be used as a reference for the administration of drugs containing AuNPs.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma poses a significant global health burden. It is the most aggressive and lethal form of skin cancer, attributed to various risk factors such as UV radiation exposure, genetic modifications, chemical carcinogens, immunosuppression, and fair complexion. Photodynamic therapy is a promising minimally invasive treatment that uses light to activate a photosensitizer, resulting in the formation of reactive oxygen species, which ultimately promote cell death. When selecting photosensitizers for melanoma photodynamic therapy, the presence of melanin should be considered. Melanin absorbs visible radiation similar to most photosensitizers and has antioxidant properties, which undermines the reactive species generated in photodynamic therapy processes. These characteristics have led to further research for new photosensitizing platforms to ensure better treatment results. The development of photosensitizers has advanced with the use of nanotechnology, which plays a crucial role in enhancing solubility, optical absorption, and tumour targeting. This paper reviews the current approaches (that use the synergistic effect of different photosensitizers, nanocarriers, chemotherapeutic agents) in the photodynamic therapy of melanoma.

Abstract
Early and simple detection of aberrant cooper metabolism in diseases with neurological-manifestations and several other conditions, including cancer, becomes an urgent necessity. Instrumental methods used today are limited to high-cost equipment and reagents and demand highly qualified personnel. In this work, we report easy-to-use and cost-effective nano-sized sensors for the selective and quantitative detection of copper ion based on fluorescence quenching. Glutaraldehyde cross-linked albumin nanoparticles with tunable ultraviolet-to-red autofluorescence emissions are developed as dual-agents for sensing and imaging. These albumin nanoparticles show great selectivity towards copper ion when tested against a selection of biochemical components and other metal ions, and a limit of detection as low as 1.9 μM, relevant for sensing in clinical diagnosis, was determined. In addition, a lack of toxicity and good cellular uptake were observed and the ultraviolet-to-red intrinsic fluorescence of the albumin nanoparticles was preserved when tested in vitro on NIH:OVCAR3 cell line. Preliminary studies confirm the albumin nanoparticles' ability to detect Cu2+in vitro and establishes their potential for future practical use.

Abstract
A unique photosensitizer (PS), ERPS, with intrinsic endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeting ability and low oxygen-depletion type-I photosensitivity, is developed and used as a scaffold to construct an activatable theranostic agent for precise photodynamic therapy (PDT). The ER-targeted feature coupled with type-I photosensitivity endows ERPS with high phototoxicity toward tumor cells under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. In addition, caging the phenol group of ERPS with a nitroreductase-sensitive triggering group provided a hypoxia-activatable PS (ERPSIm) that is encapsulated within a polymeric micelle to obtain a water-stable Im@NP nanoparticle for in vivo applications. After intravenous administration to 4T1 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice, Im@NP demonstrated highly efficient imaging-guided PDT ablation of implanted tumors. This is because the delivered ERPSIm cargos of Im@NP are specifically activated in the hypoxic microenvironment of solid tumor, and the activated ERPS molecules have efficient ER-targeted type-I photosensitivity.

Abstract
Multimodal therapies have aroused great interest in tumor therapy due to their highly effective antitumor effect. However, immune clearance limits the practical application of nanoagents-based multimodal therapies. To solve this problem, we have designed hemoporfin-Cu9S8 hollow nanospheres camouflaged with the CT26 cell membrane (CCM) as a model of multifunctional agents, achieving homologous-targeted synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Hollow Cu9S8 as photothermal agents and carriers have been obtained through sulfurizing cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanoparticles through "Kirkendall effect", and they exhibit hollow nanospheres structure with a size of ∼200 nm. Then, Cu9S8 nanospheres could be used to load with hemoporfin sonosensitizers, and then hemoporfin-Cu9S8 nanospheres (abbreviated as H-Cu9S8) can be further surface-camouflaged with CCM. H-Cu9S8@CCM nanospheres exhibit a broad photoabsorption in the range of 700-1100 nm and high photothermal conversion efficiency of 39.8% under 1064 nm laser irradiation for subsequent PTT. In addition, under the excitation of ultrasound, the loaded hemoporfin could generate 1O2 for subsequent SDT. Especially, H-Cu9S8@CCM NPs are featured with biocompatibility and homologous targeting capacity. When intravenously (i.v.) injected into mice, H-Cu9S8@CCM NPs display a higher blood circulation half-life (3.17 h, 6.47 times) and tumor accumulation amount (18.75% ID/g, 1.94 times), compared to H-Cu9S8 NPs (0.49 h, 9.68% ID/g) without CCM. In addition, upon 1064 nm laser and ultrasound irradiation, H-Cu9S8@CCM NPs can inhibit tumor growth more efficiently due to high accumulation efficiency and synergistic PTT-SDT functions. Therefore, the present study provides some insight into the design of multifunctional efficient agents for homotypic tumor-targeted therapy.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most serious complications of diabetes, which leads to blindness. By addressing the traditional treatment limitations, we developed a novel light-responsive targeted polymeric microcapsule able to encapsulate a near infrared (NIR) photoactive fluorophore - Indocyanine Green, owing to its photothermal properties. Moreover, for an efficient in vitro targeted drug delivery, the fluorescent microsystem was conjugated with a therapeutic agent, i.e., Avastin drug - a Food and Drug Administration approved therapeutic antibody. The microcapsules were fabricated and evaluated in terms of morphology, encapsulation and drug conjugation efficiency and its release capacity. Avastin-conjugated microcapsules with an average dimension of 4.5 ± 0.35 μm were obtained, according to Scanning Electron Microscopy and Re-Scanning Confocal Microscopy (RCM) investigations. The capacity of the microcapsules to operate as effective phototherapeutic agents by generating heat under NIR laser irradiation was evaluated, followed by the investigation of the microcapsule's shell rupture and NIR laser-induced release of Avastin. The biocompatibility of the Avastin-conjugated microcapsules was proven by WST-1 assay. In vitro cellular internalization and localization of the Avastin microcarriers were determined through Conventional fluorescence microscopy, RCM and Transmission Electron Microscopy imaging techniques. Finally, the Avastin-conjugated microcapsules were validated for in vitro targeted drug delivery and release directly under simulated DR conditions, which could certainly become a successful strategy in DR fighting.

Abstract
Introduction Antibacterial photodynamic treatment (aPDT) has indispensable significance as a means of treating periodontal disorders because of its extraordinary potential for killing pathogenic bacteria by generating an overpowering amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The elevated ROS that may result from the antibacterial treatment procedure, however, could exert oxidative pressure inside periodontal pockets, causing irreparable damage to surrounding tissue, an issue that has severely restricted its medicinal applications. Accordingly, herein, we report the use of black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) that can eliminate the side effects of ROS-based aPDT as well as scavenge ROS to produce an antibacterial effect. Methods The antibacterial effect of ICG/aPDT was observed by direct microscopic colony counting. A microplate reader and confocal microscope enabled measurements of cell viability and the quantification of ROS fluorescence. BPNS administration regulated the oxidative environment. IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, TGF-β, and Arg-1 mRNA expression levels were used to assess the inflammatory response after BPNS treatment. In vivo, the efficacy of the combination of BPNSs and ICG/aPDT was evaluated in rats with periodontal disease by histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analyses. Results The CFU assay results verified the antibacterial effect of ICG/aPDT treatment, and ROS fluorescence quantification by CLSM indicated the antioxidative ability of the BPNSs. IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, TGF-β, and Arg-1 mRNA expression levels were significantly decreased after BPNS treatment, confirming the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect of this nanomaterial. The histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analyses showed that the levels of proinflammatory factors decreased, suggesting that the BPNSs had anti-inflammatory effects in vivo. Conclusion Treatment with antioxidative BPNSs gives new insights into future anti-inflammatory therapies for periodontal disease and other infection-related inflammatory illnesses and provides an approach to combat the flaws of aPDT.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most dangerous health problems in the millennium and it is the third foremost human cause of death in the universe. Traditional cancer treatments face several disadvantages and cannot often afford adequate outcomes. It has been exhibited that the outcome of several therapies can be improved when associated with nanostructures. In addition, a modern tendency is being developed in cancer therapy to convert single-modal into multi-modal therapies with the help of existing various nanostructures. Among them, gold is the most successful nanostructure for biomedical applications due to its flexibility in preparation, stabilization, surface modifications, less cytotoxicity, and ease of bio-detection. In the past few decades, gold-based nanomaterials rule cancer treatment applications, currently, gold nanostructures were the leading nanomaterials for synergetic cancer therapies. In this review article, the synthesis, stabilization, and optical properties of gold nanostructures have been discussed. Then, the surface modifications and targeting mechanisms of gold nanomaterials will be described. Recent signs of progress in the application of gold nanomaterials for synergetic cancer therapies such as photodynamic and photo-thermal therapies in combination with other common interventions such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and will be reviewed. Also, a summary of the pharmacokinetics of gold nanostructures will be delivered. Finally, the challenges and outlooks of the gold nanostructures in the clinics for applications in cancer treatments are debated.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become a potential anti-cancer strategy owing to its negligible invasiveness, low toxicity, and high selectivity. The photosensitizer (PS) plays an indispensable role in PDT. Herein, a novel type of PS (Ce6-MB@Lips) which can be excited by a near-infrared (NIR) laser was designed and synthesized. Methylene blue (MB) and Chlorin e6 (Ce6), two organic dyes approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), were used to prepare Ce6-MB@Lips by thin-film dispersion method, which improve the water solubility of Ce6 and reduce the cytotoxicity of MB. The Ce6-MB@Lips were shown to have a spherical nanostructure with an average particle size of 160.3 nm and excellent water solubility. Then the optical properties of Ce6-MB@Lips were further studied. Ce6-MB@Lips showed absorption peaks at 413 nm/670 nm and fluorescence peak at 697 nm. Compared with Ce6@Lips and MB@Lips, Ce6-MB@Lips showed better stability, stronger fluorescence intensity, and higher singlet oxygen (1O2) generation ability. Cell experimental analysis exhibited that the stable Ce6-MB@Lips showed low cytotoxicity, high phototoxicity and high reactive oxygen species (ROS) production capacity. After effective cell internalization, the prepared Ce6-MB@Lips showed excellent ability to promote tumor cell apoptosis in vitro. The Ce6-MB@Lips could be a promising candidate for PDT of cervical cancer.

Abstract
Although phototherapy has attracted extensive attention in antitumor field in recent years, its therapeutic effect is usually unsatisfactory because of the complexity and variability of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we report novel CoSn(OH)6@CoOOH hollow carriers with oxidase properties that can enhance phototherapy. Hollow CoSn(OH)6@CoOOH nanocubes (NCs) with a particle size of ∼160 nm were synthesized via a two-step process of coprecipitation and etching. These NCs can react with O2 to generate singlet oxygen without hydrogen peroxide and consume glutathione, and their hollow structure can be utilized to carry drug molecules. After loading indocyanine green (ICG) and 1,2-bis(2-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)propan-2-yl) diazene dihydrochloride (AIPH), the resulting nanosystem (HCIA) exhibited enhanced phototherapy effects through the catalytic activity of oxidase, production of alkyl radicals, and consumption of glutathione. Cell and mouse experiments showed that HCIA combined with near-infrared laser irradiation significantly inhibited the growth of 4T1 tumors. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed that PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways were highly relevant to this therapeutic system. Such hollow NCs with oxidase activity have considerable potential for the design of multifunctional drug delivery vehicles for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Local re-occurrence of cancer in patients with solid tumors is currently the most common reason for failure of treatment strategies. This fact indicates that prevailing approaches for tumor resection can cure only 50% of patients. A major cause of failure in tumor resection is off-target drug cytotoxicity and lack of sensitivity in tumor detection methods. These disadvantages are addressed with the development of targeted therapy and diagnostics, which significantly aid treatment strategies. Targeted diagnostics exploit properties of tumor cells that show significant up-regulation of tumor biomarkers. These biomarkers are targeted by a homing ligand attached to a fluorophore for visual inspection during surgery. However, these approaches suffer from disadvantages like high autofluorescence from background tissues, tissue absorption, and scattering, resulting in decreased image sensitivity and resolution. The use of near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores to overcome these drawbacks has generated unprecedented interest among researchers. The NIR window lies within the range of 650 to 1,700 nm, which results in reduced absorption and scattering by the tissues, thereby providing deeper tissue penetration and reduced autofluorescence. NIR fluorophores can be designed to target tumor biomarkers such as prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) or folate receptors found over-expressed on cancer tissues. These targeted fluorophores consist of small-molecule ligands conjugated with NIR dyes that bind with high specificity to PSMA and folic acid receptors. In this protocol, we have extensively described the methodology for the synthesis of targeted NIR agents for PSMA (DUPA-NIR bioconjugate) and folic acid (folate-NIR bioconjugate), along with detailed steps for preclinical evaluation. Procedures to calculate the binding affinity to cancer cells in vitro are described, along with uptake and biodistribution in different mice models in vivo. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is gaining a lot of interest as a cancer treatment option with minimal side effects due to the efficient photothermal agents employed. They are based on nanomaterials that, upon laser irradiation, absorb photon energy and convert it into heat to induce hyperthermia, which destroys the cancer cells. Here, the unique light-to-heat conversion features of three different gold nanotriangular nanoparticles (AuNTs) are evaluated with respect to their absorption properties to select the most efficient nanoheater with the highest potential to operate as an efficient photothermal agent. AuNTs with LSPR response in- and out- of resonance with the 785 nm near-infrared (NIR) excitation wavelength are investigated. Upon 15 min laser exposure, the AuNTs that exhibit a plasmonic response in resonance with the 785 nm laser line show the highest photothermal conversion efficacy of 80%, which correlates with a temperature increase of 22 °C. These photothermal properties are well-preserved in agarose-based skin biological phantoms that mimic the melanoma tumoral tissue and surrounding healthy tissue. Finally, in vitro studies on B16.F10 melanoma cells prove by fluorescence staining and MTT assay that the highest phototoxic effect after NIR laser exposure is induced by AuNTs with LSPR response in resonance with the employed laser line, thus demonstrating their potential implementation as efficient photothermal agents in PTT.

Abstract
Before entering human clinical studies to evaluate their safety and effectiveness, new drugs and novel medical treatments are subject to extensive animal testing that are expensive and time-consuming. By contrast, advanced technologies enable the development of animal-free models that allow the efficacy of innovative therapies to be studied without sacrificing animals, while providing helpful information and details. We report on the powerful combination of 3D bioprinting (3DB) and photo-thermal therapy (PTT) applications. To this end, we realize a 3DB construct consisting of glioblastoma U87-MG cells in a 3D geometry, incorporating biomimetic keratin-coated gold nanoparticles (Ker-AuNPs) as a photo-thermal agent. The resulting plasmonic 3DB structures exhibit a homogeneous cell distribution throughout the entire volume while promoting the localization of Ker-AuNPs within the cells. A 3D immunofluorescence assay and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirm the uniform distribution of fluorescent-labeled Ker-AuNPs in the volume and their capability to enter the cells. Laser-assisted (λ = 532 nm) PTT experiments demonstrate the extraordinary ability of Ker-AuNPs to generate heating, producing the highest temperature rise of about 16 °C in less than 2 min.

Abstract
The development of stealth and effective antitumor nanodrugs has been drawing great attention. Herein, generation five poly(amide amine) dendrimer (G5 PAMAM) was modified by zwitterionic material carboxybetaine methacrylamide (CBMAA) on its surface to prepare zwitterionic dendrimer (G5-CBMAAn). The results showed that G5-CBMAA30 had the longest blood circulation time due to its thickest zwitterionic layer, and its residual rate after injection into mice at 2 and 12 h was as high as 47.22 % and 14.37 %, respectively. Nanodrug G5-CBMAA30-ICG was prepared by containing indocyanine green (ICG) in the cavity of G5-CBMAA30. G5-CBMAA30-ICG had better tumor targeting ability and antitumor effect than free ICG in mice after laser irradiation, and the tumor inhibition rate was 96.6 % after 14 days' treatment. The prepared G5-CBMAA30-ICG has great potential applications in the field of antitumor by phototherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phototherapy-triggered immunogenic cell death (ICD) rarely elicits a robust antitumour immune response, partially due to low antigen exposure and inefficient antigen presentation. To address these issues, we developed novel methylene blue-loaded ovalbumin/polypyrrole nanoparticles (MB@OVA/PPY NPs) via oxidative polymerization and π-π stacking interactions. RESULTS The as-prepared MB@OVA/PPY NPs with outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency (38%) and photodynamic properties were readily internalized into the cytoplasm and accumulated in the lysosomes and mitochondria. Upon 808 nm and 660 nm laser irradiation, the MB@OVA/PPY NPs not only ablated tumour cells by inducing local hyperthermia but also damaged residual tumour cells by generating a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), finally triggering the release of many damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Moreover, the MB@OVA/PPY NPs synergized with DAMPs to promote the maturation and improve the antigen presentation ability of DCs in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS This work reported a PPY NPs-based nanoplatform to encapsulate the therepeutic proteins and absorb the functional molecules for combination therapy of tumours. The results demonstrated that the prepared MB@OVA/PPY NPs could be used as effective nanotherapeutic agents to eliminate solid tumours and trigger a powerful antitumour immune response.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticle (AuNPs)-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted increasing attention both in laboratory research and clinical applications. Due to its easily-tuned properties of irradiation light and inside-out hyperthermia ability, it has demonstrated clear advantages in cancer therapy over conventional thermal ablation. Despite this great advancement, the therapeutic efficacy of AuNPs mediated PTT in tumor treatment remains compromised by several obstacles, including low photothermal conversion efficiency, tissue penetration limitation of excitation light, and inherent non-specificity. In view of the rapid development of AuNPs mediated PTT, we present an in-depth review of major breakthroughs in the advanced development of gold nanomaterials for PTT, with emphasis on those from 2010 to date. In particular, the current state of knowledge for AuNPs based photothermal agents within a paradigm of key structure-optical property relationships is presented in order to provide guidance for the design of novel AuNP based photothermal agents to meet necessary functional requirements in specific applications. Furthermore, potential challenges and future development of AuNP mediated PTT are also elucidated for clinical translation. It is expected that AuNP mediated PTT will soon constitute a markedly promising avenue in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted growing attention as a noninvasive option for cancer treatment. At present, researchers have developed various "all-in-one" nanoplatforms for cancer imaging and PTT/PDT combinational therapy. However, the complex structure, tedious preparation procedures, overuse of extra carriers and severe side effects hinder their biomedical applications. In this work, we reported a nanoplatform (designated as ICG-MB) self-assembly from two different FDA-approved dyes of indocyanine green (ICG) and methylene blue (MB) without any additional excipients for cancer fluorescence imaging and combinational PTT/PDT. ICG-MB was found to exhibit good dispersion in the aqueous phase and improve the photostability and cellular uptake of free ICG and MB, thus exhibiting enhanced photothermal conversion and singlet oxygen (1O2) generation abilities to robustly ablate cancer cells under 808 nm and 670 nm laser irradiation. After intravenous injection, ICG-MB effectively accumulated at tumor sites with a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence signal, which helped to delineate the targeted area for NIR laser-triggered phototoxicity. As a consequence, ICG-MB displayed a combinational PTT/PDT effect to potently inhibit tumor growth without causing any system toxicities in vivo. In conclusion, this minimalist, effective and biocompatible nanotheranostic would provide a promising candidate for cancer phototherapy based on current available dyes in clinic.

Abstract
Comprehensive cancer treatments have been widely studied. Traditional treatment methods (e.g., radiotherapy, chemotherapy), despite ablating tumors, inevitably damage normal cells and cause serious complications. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), with its low rate of trauma, accurate targeting, synergism, repeatability, has displayed great advantages in the treatment of tumors. In recent years, nanotech-based PDT has provided a new modality for cancer treatment. Direct modification of PSs by nanotechnology or the delivery of PSs by nanocarriers can improve their targeting, specificity, and PDT efficacy for tumors. In this review, we strive to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview, on various aspects of the types, characteristics, and research progress of photosensitizers and nanomaterials used in PDT. And the application progress and relative limitations of nanotech-PDT in non-melanoma skin cancer and melanoma are also summarized.

Abstract
Introduction Coating of nanomedicine with cell membranes has attracted increasing attention as it can boost biocompatibility and improve the efficiency of treatment. Herein, we prepared innovative tumor cell-membrane-coated vesicles based on photodynamic therapy (PDT) drug indocyanine green (ICG) and explore the effect on melanoma in vitro and in vivo. Methods ICG was coated with B16 cell membranes (I@BM NVs) by sonication and extrusion, and the morphological characteristics of I@BM NVs were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and NP-tracking analysis. Homologous cellular uptake was evaluated by flow cytometry (FCM) after staining by DiD dye. Cellular cytotoxicity was evaluated by cell counting kit-8 assay and the anti-tumor effect in vitro was assessed by FCM and western blotting. The anti-tumor effect in vivo was evaluated in a B16 xenograft model in mice. The tumor micro-environment was investigated by FCM and real-time PCR. Results The vesicles are stable and uniform in nature, and show strong homologous targeting in vivo and in vitro. The vesicles can generate reactive oxygen species to induce apoptosis of B16 cells under near-infrared irradiation. Furthermore, the I@BM NVs induce a significant anti-tumor response in vivo, and perform better with respect to both tumor growth inhibition and lifespan extension. Analysis of immunocytes in the tumor microenvironment showed significant reductions in numbers of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tumor-associated M2 macrophages in mice in the I@BM NVs group. This was accompanied by significant increases in numbers of M1 macrophages and proliferative CD4+/CD8+ T cells. Expression levels of IFN-γ and IL-2 increased in the I@BM NVs group, while expression of TGF-β and IL-10 decreased. Conclusion The results show that the I@BM NVs are feasible drugs for the treatment of melanoma by inducing cell apoptosis under NIR and shifting the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in vivo.

Abstract
In recent years, the morbidity and mortality of gastrointestinal cancer have remained high in China. Due to the deep location of the gastrointestinal organs, such as gastric cancer, the early symptoms of cancer are not obvious. It is generally discovered at an advanced stage with distant metastasis and lymph node infiltration, making it difficult to cure. Therefore, there is a significant need for novel technologies that can effectively diagnose and treat gastrointestinal cancer, ultimately reducing its mortality. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs), a type of nanocarrier with unique optical properties and remarkable biocompatibility, have the potential to influence the fate of cancer by delivering drugs, nucleic acids to cancer cells and tissues. As a safe and reliable visualization agent, GNPs can track drugs and accurately indicate the location and boundaries of cancer, opening up new possibilities for cancer treatment. In addition, GNPs have been used in photodynamic therapy to deliver photosensitizers, as well as in combination with photothermal therapy. Therefore, GNPs can be used as a safe and effective nanomaterial in the treatment and diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) has been used in various surgical navigation systems and plays an important role in intraoperative imaging diagnosis. However, the poor photostability and unsatisfactory tumor-targeting ability have limited its broad application prospects. In the decades, the construction of a nanodrug delivery system for tumor-targeting diagnosis and therapy has become a research hotspot. Black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNS), as a new kind of biodegradable nanomaterials, have the advantages of high loading capacity, good biocompatibility, tumor targeting, and photothermal effect over other two-dimensional (2D) reported nanomaterials. Herein, ICG-loaded poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-modified BPNS (ICG@BPNS-PEG) nanocomposites are constructed to improve the tumor-targeting capacity and guide photothermal therapy through real-time fluorescence imaging. In this study, ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites with a suitable size (240 ± 28 nm) have been successfully constructed. The photostability of ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites surpassed that of free ICG after four on-off cycles of near laser irradiation (NIR). Moreover, ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites have enhanced photothermal conversion ability. The cellular uptake result through flow cytometry showed that ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites could be swallowed easily owing to the suitable size and passive cellular uptake. In addition, the cytotoxicity evaluation of MCF-7, 4T1 breast cancer cells, and healthy RPE cells through the MTT assay demonstrated that ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites have lower cytotoxicity and good cellular compatibility without irradiation. However, the cytotoxicity and live/dead staining proved that ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites have satisfactory photothermal therapeutic effects when irradiated. In the 4T1-bearing mice model, the fluorescence imaging after intravenous injection of nanocomposites showed that ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites have superior passive tumor targeting accumulation through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect compared with that of free ICG. Also, changes in tumor volume showed a remarkable tumor growth inhibition effect compared with other groups. Moreover, the results of hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining of major organs in 4T1-bearing mice also demonstrated that the nanocomposites have good biocompatibility. Therefore, the constructed ICG@BPNS-PEG nanocomposites have substantial potential in breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising anticancer noninvasive method and has great potential for clinical applications. Unfortunately, PDT still has many limitations, such as metastatic tumor at unknown sites, inadequate light delivery and a lack of sufficient oxygen. Recent studies have demonstrated that photodynamic therapy in combination with other therapies can enhance anticancer effects. The development of new nanomaterials provides a platform for the codelivery of two or more therapeutic drugs, which is a promising cancer treatment method. The use of multifunctional nanocarriers for the codelivery of two or more drugs can improve physical and chemical properties, increase tumor site aggregation, and enhance the antitumor effect through synergistic actions, which is worthy of further study. This review focuses on the latest research progress on the synergistic enhancement of PDT by simultaneous multidrug administration using codelivery nanocarriers. We introduce the design of codelivery nanocarriers and discuss the mechanism of PDT combined with other antitumor methods. The combination of PDT and chemotherapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, photothermal therapy, hyperthermia, radiotherapy, sonodynamic therapy and even multidrug therapy are discussed to provide a comprehensive understanding.

Abstract
In recent years, the role of nanotechnology in drug delivery has become increasingly important, and this field of research holds many potential benefits for cancer treatment, particularly, in achieving cancer cell targeting and reducing the side effects of anticancer drugs. Biocompatible and biodegradable properties have been essential for using a novel material as a carrier molecule in drug delivery applications. Biocompatible nanocarriers are easy to synthesize, and their surface chemistry often enables them to load different types of photosensitizers (PS) to use targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer treatment. This review article explores recent studies on the use of different biocompatible nanocarriers, their potential applications in PDT, including PS-loaded biocompatible nanocarriers, and the effective targeting therapy of PS-loaded biocompatible nanocarriers in PDT for cancer treatment. Furthermore, the review briefly recaps the global clinical trials of PDT and its applications in cancer treatment.

Abstract
A multifunctional theranostic nanosystem that integrates dynamic monitoring and therapeutic functions is necessary for precision tumor medicine. Herein, an entropy-driven self-assembly nanomachine is developed that overcomes the mechanism differences of different diagnostic modes and is applied to miRNA surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-fluorescence dual-mode dynamic monitoring and synergy phototherapy. It is worth noting that the activated dual-mode theranostic nanosystem (DTN) is capable of tumor in situ fluorescence imaging and SERS absolute quantification of the target. After being internalized into tumor cells, the DTN nanosystem is activated by the DNA cascade chain displacement of the target miR-21, resulting in the secondary release of fluorophores and the assembly of core-satellite structures (CS structures). The coupling of localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) in the CS structure results in the formation of numerous enhanced electric fields (hot spot) in the nanogap of the CS structure. Then the DTN nanosystem greatly improves the sensitivity and repeatability of Raman detection by converting trace targets into numerous adenines residing in the electromagnetic hot spot of the CS structure. Meanwhile, the CS structure and the loaded photosensitizer are used for synergy phototherapy under the guidance of fluorescence imaging. This proposed strategy is confirmed by in vivo and in vitro results, and it provides new ideas for tumor SERS-fluorescence dual-mode diagnosis and effective tumor therapy.

Abstract
With increasing knowledge about diseases at the histological, cytological to sub-organelle level, targeting organelle therapy has gradually been envisioned as an approach to overcome the shortcomings of poor specificity and multiple toxic side effects on tissues and cell-level treatments using the currently available therapy. Organelle carbon dots (CDs) are a class of functionalized CDs that can target organelles. CDs can be prepared by a "synchronous in situ synthesis method" and "asynchronous modification method." The superior optical properties and good biocompatibility of CDs can be preserved, and they can be used as targeting particles to carry drugs into cells while reducing leakage during transport. Given the excellent organelle fluorescence imaging properties, targeting organelle CDs can be used to monitor the physiological metabolism of organelles and progression of human diseases, which will provide advanced understanding and accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment of cancers. This study reviews the methods used for preparation of targeting organelle CDs, mechanisms of accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment of cancer, as well as their application in the area of cancer diagnosis and treatment research. Finally, the current difficulties and prospects for targeting organelle CDs are prospected.

Abstract
Among women, ovarian cancer is the fifth most frequent type of cancer, and despite benefiting from current standard treatment plans, 90% of patients relapse in the subsequent 18 months and, eventually, perish. As a result, via embracing nanotechnological advancements in the field of medical science, researchers working in the areas of cancer therapy and imaging are looking for the next breakthrough treatment strategy to ensure lower cancer recurrence rates and improved outcomes for patients. Herein, we design a novel phototheranostic agent with optical features in the biological window of the electromagnetic spectrum via encapsulating a newly synthesized phthalocyanine dye within biocompatible protein nanoparticles, allowing the targeted fluorescence imaging and synergistic dual therapy of ovarian cancer. The nanosized agent displays great biocompatibility and enhanced aqueous biostability and photothermal activity, as well as high reactive-oxygen-species generation efficiency. To achieve the active targeting of the desired malignant tissue and suppress the rapid clearance of the photosensitive agent from the peritoneal cavity, the nanoparticles are biofunctionalized with an anti-folate receptor antibody. A2780 ovarian cancer cells are employed to confirm the improved targeting capabilities and the in vitro cytotoxic efficiency of the theranostic nanoparticles after exposure to a 660 nm LED lamp; upon measurement via MTT and flow cytometry assays, a significant 95% decrease in the total number of viable cells is seen. Additionally, the therapeutic performance of our newly designed nanoparticles was evaluated in vivo, via real-time thermal monitoring and histopathological assays, upon the irradiation of tumour-bearing mice with a 660 nm LED lamp (0.05 W cm-2). Foremost, separately from steady-state fluorescence imaging, we found that, via utilizing FLIM investigations, the differences in fluorescence lifetimes of antibody biofunctionalized and non-functionalized nanoparticles can be correlated to different intracellular localization and internalization pathways of the fluorescent agent, which is relevant for the development of a cutting-edge method for the detection of cancer cells that overexpress folate receptors at their surfaces.

Abstract
In recent times, researchers have aimed for new strategies to combat cancer by the implementation of nanotechnologies in biomedical applications. This work focuses on developing protein-based nanoparticles loaded with a newly synthesized NIR emitting and absorbing phthalocyanine dye, with photodynamic and photothermal properties. More precisely, we synthesized highly reproducible bovine serum albumin-based nanoparticles (75% particle yield) through a two-step protocol and successfully encapsulated the NIR active photosensitizer agent, achieving a good loading efficiency of 91%. Making use of molecular docking simulations, we confirm that the NIR photosensitizer is well protected within the nanoparticles, docked in site I of the albumin molecule. Encouraging results were obtained for our nanoparticles towards biomedical use, thanks to their negatively charged surface (−13.6 ± 0.5 mV) and hydrodynamic diameter (25.06 ± 0.62 nm), favorable for benefitting from the enhanced permeability and retention effect; moreover, the MTT viability assay upholds the good biocompatibility of our NIR active nanoparticles. Finally, upon irradiation with an NIR 785 nm laser, the dual phototherapeutic effect of our NIR fluorescent nanoparticles was highlighted by their excellent light-to-heat conversion performance (photothermal conversion efficiency 20%) and good photothermal and size stability, supporting their further implementation as fluorescent therapeutic agents in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Due to a special pathological type of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and the lack of expression of the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her 2), targeted therapies are not effective. The lack of effective treatment drugs and insensitivity to the current single-treatment methods are the biggest problems that we face with the TNBC treatment. Therefore, new strategies to achieve selective treatment and further visual efficacy evaluation will be powerful tools against TNBC. Herein, a novel tumor-targeted nanosized ultrasound contrast nanobubble loaded with chlorin e6 (Ce6), metformin (MET), and perfluorohexane (PFH) and covalently connected to the anti-PD-L1 peptide (DPPA-1) in the outer shell was fabricated. When accumulated in acidic tumor tissues, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) ligands detach, and DPPA-1 is exposed for programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) targeting and blocking. The released metformin can relieve hypoxia by inhibiting mitochondrial complex I in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of Ce6 while synergizing with DPPA-1 by reducing PD-L1 expression. More significantly, photodynamic therapy (PDT) using multifunctional tumor-targeted nanosized ultrasound contrast agents (PD-L1-targeted pH-sensitive chlorin e6 (Ce6) and metformin (MET) drug-loaded phase transitional nanoparticles (Ce6/MET NPs-DPPA-1)) combined with PD-L1 checkpoint blocking can not only reduce tumor-mediated immunosuppression but also produce strong antitumor immunity. This finding provides a new idea for constructing multifunctional TNBC therapeutic nanoagents.

Abstract
Theranostic nanoplatforms integrating simultaneously photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) exhibit intrinsic advantages in tumor therapy due to distinct mechanisms of action. However, it is challenging to achieve PDT and PTT under single near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation with a nanoplatform utilizing conventional organic photodynamic agent and inorganic photothermal agent owing to the difference in inherent excitation wavelengths. Particularly, the single NIR light (660 nm)-triggered PTT and PDT nanoplatform, constructed from chlorin e6 (Ce6) and copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles (NPs), has never been reported. Herein, we, for the first time, designed and established a dual-modal phototherapeutic nanoplatform that achieved both PTT and PDT under single NIR laser (660 nm) irradiation for Ce6 and CuS NPs with the strategy of core-shell structured CuS@Carbon integrated with Ce6. Introducing of carbon shell not only endows small CuS NPs with excellent tumor accumulation, but also significantly strengthens the photothermal performance of CuS NPs, realizing efficient photothermal performance under 660 nm laser irradiation. Moreover, Ce6 in carbon shell endowed the nanoplatform with photodynamic effect under 660 nm laser irradiation. The as-prepared Ce6/CuS@Carbon nanoplatform thus achieved dual-modal phototherapy under single NIR laser irradiation, significantly inhibiting tumor growth with minimal adverse effects and superior biosafety.

Abstract
Cancer therapy has undergone tremendous advancements in the past few years. The drawbacks of most of these therapies have encouraged researchers to obtain further insight into the complex chemical, biochemical and biological processes ongoing in the evolving cancer cells. These studies have led to an advent of reactive oxygen species mediated therapies to target and disrupt the cancer pathology. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a potent candidate for oxidative stress mediated non-invasive technique for rapid diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Towards this, biomacromolecules derived hybrid nanomaterials have contributed largely in the development of various therapeutics and theranostics for efficacious cancer management that can assist PDT. This review summarizes various hybrid biomaterials and advanced techniques that have been explored widely in the past few years for PDT application. The article also mentions some of the important in-vitro and in-vivo developments and observations explored by employing these materials for PDT application. The article also describes the interactions of these materials at the biological interface and the probable mechanism that assist in generation of oxidative stress and subsequent cell death.

Abstract
The use of fluorescence imaging technique for visualization, resection and treatment of cancerous tissue, attained plenty of interest once the promise of whole body and deep tissue near-infrared (NIR) imaging emerged. Why is NIR so desired? Contrast agents with optical properties in the NIR spectral range offer an upgrade for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, by dint of the deep tissue penetration of light in the NIR region of the electromagnetic spectrum, also known as the optical window in biological tissue. Thus, the development of a new generation of NIR emitting and absorbing contrast agents able to overcome the shortcomings of the basic free dye administration is absolutely essential. Several examples of nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully implemented as carriers for NIR dye molecules to the tumour site owing to their prolonged blood circulation time and enhanced accumulation within the tumour, as well as their increased fluorescence signal relative to free fluorophore emission and active targeting of cancerous cells. Due to their versatile structure, good biocompatibility and capability to efficiently load dyes and bioconjugate with diverse cancer-targeting ligands, the research area of developing protein-based NPs encapsulated or conjugated with NIR dyes is highly promising but still in its infancy. The current review aims to provide an up-to-date overview on the biocompatibility, specific targeting and versatility offered by protein-based NPs loaded with different classes of NIR dyes as next-generation fluorescent agents. Moreover, this study brings to light the newest and most relevant advances involving the state-of-the-art NIR fluorescent agents for the real-time interventional NIR fluorescence imaging of cancer in clinical trials.
