Abstract
Cancer poses a significant threat to human health, and there is an urgent need for more effective treatments. Combining chemotherapy and immunotherapy is an effective strategy to enhance curative outcomes and holds great potential for widespread application. The natural phytochemical genistein (GEN) exhibits cytotoxicity against tumors and is a potential chemotherapeutic agent. Lentinan (LTN) is a natural polysaccharide with immune-enhancing properties that has been utilized in tumor treatment. This study constructed a pH-responsive nanoparticle GEN@LTN-BDBA with chemotherapy and immunotherapy functions using GEN and LTN. After characterizing the nanoparticles, the molecular mechanism of GEN@LTN-BDBA formation was explored using in-silico simulation. GEN@LTN-BDBA can significantly inhibit the proliferation of A549 and HepG2 cells in vitro. The in vivo experiment results demonstrated that treatment with GEN@LTN-BDBA can significantly reduce tumor cell mass and prevent metastasis. In this nanoparticle, GEN induced oxidative stress and apoptosis of tumor cells. Meanwhile, the released LTN initiated an anti-tumor immune response by promoting dendritic cell maturation and upregulating the expression of costimulatory molecules and major histocompatibility complex. The construction method of GEN@LTN-BDBA can be extended to the preparation of other polysaccharides and hydrophobic chemotherapy molecules, offering a novel strategy to enhance the low efficacy of monotherapy.

Abstract
Melanoma, the most aggressive and life-threatening form of skin cancer, lacks innovative therapeutic approaches and deeper bioinformation. In this study, we developed a photothermal therapy (PTT) based on Mo2C nanosheets to eliminate melanoma while utilizing integrated metabolomics to investigate the metabolic shift of metabolome combined lipidome during PTT at the molecular level. Our results demonstrated that 1 mg ml-1 Mo2C nanosheets could efficiently convert laser energy into heat with a strong and stable photothermal effect (74 ± 0.9 °C within 7 cycles). Furthermore, Mo2C-based PTT led to a rapid decrease in melanoma volume (from 3.299 to 0 cm2) on the sixth day, indicating the effective elimination of melanoma. Subsequent integrated metabolomics analysis revealed significant changes in aqueous metabolites (including organic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, and amines) and lipid classes (including phospholipids, lysophospholipids, and sphingolipids), suggesting that melanoma caused substantial fluctuations in both metabolome and lipidome, while Mo2C-based PTT helped improve amino acid metabolism-related biological events (such as tryptophan metabolism) impaired by melanoma. These findings suggest that Mo2C nanosheets hold significant potential as an effective therapeutic agent for skin tumors, such as melanoma. Moreover, through exploring multidimensional bioinformation, integrated metabolomics technology provides novel insights for studying the metabolic effects of tumors, monitoring the correction of metabolic abnormalities by Mo2C nanosheet therapy, and evaluating the therapeutic effect on tumors.

Abstract
Tungsten-based nanomaterials (TNMs) with diverse nanostructures and unique physicochemical properties have been widely applied in the biomedical field. Although various reviews have described the application of TNMs in specific biomedical fields, there are still no comprehensive studies that summarize and analyze research trends of the field as a whole. To identify and further promote the development of biomedical TNMs, a bibliometric analysis method is used to analyze all relevant literature on this topic. First, general bibliometric distributions of the dataset by year, country, institute, referenced source, and research hotspots are recognized. Next, a comprehensive review of the subjectively recognized research hotspots in various biomedical fields, including biological sensing, anticancer treatments, antibacterials, and toxicity evaluation, is provided. Finally, the prospects and challenges of TNMs are discussed to provide a new perspective for further promoting their development in biomedical research.

Abstract
W18O49-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) is affected by the easily oxidized property and its direct exposure to physiological environment can cause biological events, which limit its development in the biomedical field. Herein, a composite nanoparticle PVP-W18O49@C (PW@C), with significant antioxidant and excellent biocompatibility, was constructed to overcome the limitations of W18O49 in the medical field. Oxygen-deficient W18O49, with irregular defect structure, was combined with hollow carbon nanospheres treated by reflux to obtain W18O49@C (W@C) similar to sea urchins. Compared with W18O49, W@C shows stronger antioxidant properties, and it still has the ability to convert light energy to heat energy after 6 months. In addition, polyvinyl pyrrolidone is coated on the surface of W@C to construct PW@C, which significantly improves biocompatibility of W@C. The photothermal conversion efficiency of PW@C was 42.9 ± 1.3. PWD (PW@C loaded with DOX·HCl) showed controllable drug release behavior under pH and NIR stimulation, and the drug release rate reached 69.1 ± 1.6% at pH = 5.0. Notably, PWD was readily absorbed by cells through clathrin/caveolae-mediated internalization channels, and the viability of HeLa cells treated with PWD + NIR was only 21.5 ± 1.0%. Through photothermal, drug delivery/release and cytotoxicity evaluation, PWD was proved to be an effective platform for chemo-/photothermal combinational tumor therapy.

Abstract
Tungsten oxide (WO3), MXene, and an WO3/MXene nanocomposite were synthesized to study their photocatalytic and biological applications. Tungsten oxide was synthesized by an easy and cost-effective hydrothermal method, and its composite with MXene was prepared through the sonication method. The synthesized tungsten oxide, MXene, and its composite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) for their structural, morphological, spectral, elemental and surface area analysis, respectively. The crystallite size of WO3 calculated from XRD was ~10 nm, the particle size of WO3 was 130 nm, and the average thickness of MXene layers was 175 nm, which was calculated from FESEM. The photocatalytic activity of as-synthesized samples was carried out for the degradation of methylene blue under solar radiation, MXene, the WO3/MXene composite, and WO3 exhibited 54%, 89%, and 99% photocatalytic degradation, respectively. WO3 showed maximal degradation ability; by adding WO3 to MXene, the degradation ability of MXene was enhanced. Studies on antibacterial activity demonstrated that these samples are good antibacterial agents against positive strains, and their antibacterial activity against negative strains depends upon their concentration. Against positive strains, the WO3/MXene composite’s inhibition zone was at 7 mm, while it became 9 mm upon increasing the concentration. This study proves that WO3, MXene, and the WO3/MXene nanocomposite could be used in biological and environmental applications.

Abstract
The medicinal fungus Sanghuangporus vaninii can be cultivated in large scale and has outstanding antitumour activity. In this study, water-soluble S. vaninii polysaccharides (SVPs) were extracted from fruiting bodies. Four polysaccharide sub-fractions (SVP-W, SVP-1, SVP-2 and SVP-3) were isolated, with molecular weights from 90.50 kDa to 261.70 kDa, and all inhibited the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer cell lines A549, 95-D and NCI-H460, especially the acidic SVP-1. SVP-1 affected cell morphology and colony formation in NCI-H460 cells. It also promoted cell apoptosis following nuclear fluorescence staining and flow cytometry. Methylation and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses revealed that SVP-1 is a heteroglycan with the main chain →4)-β-D-Glcp-(1 → 6)-β-D-Glcp-(1 → 6)-α-D-Galp-(1 → 6)-β-D-Glcp-(1→, and the branched chain α-D-Manp-(1 → 2)-α-D-Manp-(1 → 3)-β-D-Glcp-(1 → 3,6)-β-D-Glcp-(1→. The findings indicate that this natural acidic polysaccharide has potential for non-small cell lung cancer therapy.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of Lentinan (LNT) on lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cell stemness and its mechanism. In this study, we founded that LNT significantly reduce the cell proliferation, activity, migration, invasion, and stemness of LUAD cells, and promote their apoptosis compared with the control group in vitro. Moreover, LNT significantly inhibited the volume and weight of tumors of nude mice in vivo. At the same time, LNT can significantly up-regulate miR-216a-5p levels and reduce the protein expression of phospho-JAK2 (Y1007/1008) and phospho-STAT3 (Tyr705), thereby inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Interfering with miR-216a-5p expression and activating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway can significantly reverse LNT inhibitory effects on LUAD. Collectively, LNT can inhibit the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway by up-regulating miR-216a-5p, reducing stemness, and promoting LUAD cells apoptosis, then slow down LUAD occurrence and development, providing concepts and experimental foundation treating patients with LUAD.

Abstract
Materials that exhibit photothermal effect have attracted enormous research interests due to their ability to strongly absorb light and effectively transform it into heat for a wide range of applications in biomedical, environmental and energy related fields. The past decade has witnessed significant advances in the preparation of a variety of photothermal materials, mainly due to the emergence of many nano-enabled new materials, such as plasmonic metals, stoichiometric/non-stoichiometric semiconductors, and the newly emerging MXenes. These photothermal nanomaterials can be hybridized with other constituents to form functional hybrids or composites for achieving enhanced photothermal performance. In this review, we present the fundamental insight of inorganic photothermal materials, including their photothermal conversion mechanisms/properties as well as their potential applications in various fields. Emphasis is placed on strategic approaches for improving their light harvesting and photothermal conversion capabilities through engineering their nanostructured size, shape, composition, bandgap and so on. Lastly, the underlying challenges and perspectives for future development of photothermal nanomaterials are proposed.

Abstract
Background: Lentinan (LNT), an isolated traditional Chinese herbal component, has antitumor potential. In the current study, the intrinsic mechanism of LNT-induced immunity against bladder cancer was explored in a mouse model. Methods: In the mouse model of bladder cancer, we used flow cytometry to detect the LNT caused population changes of T cells, macrophages, MDSC cells, and Treg cells. ELISA was used to evaluate cytokines expression in the supernatant of splenocytes. Results: We found that the administration of LNT increased the proportions of CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T cell subsets as well as CD11b+F480+ macrophages, whereas it diminished the subpopulations of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Gr-1+CD11b+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). LNT also upregulated the expression of interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-12, accompanied by a significant reduction in IL-10 and tumor growth factor (TGF)-β (P < .05). Our research further confirmed the synergy between LNT and gemcitabine (GEM) to activate immunity and inhibit the growth of bladder tumors in mouse model. Conclusions: LNT induced macrophage activation, followed by the enhanced proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and the upregulated expression of IFN-γ and IL-2. Meanwhile, the proportions of MDSCs and Tregs were downregulated, leading to a reduced expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β. The synergy between LNT and GEM provides additional evidence supporting the application of this traditional Chinese herbal component for bladder cancer therapy.

Abstract
Oridonin, a compound from Rabdosia rubescens, has been shown to exhibit a potent ability to improve the antitumor effects of lentinan (LNT). In the present study, the effects of oridonin, LNT, and the combination of these treatments were assessed on the normal human fetal lung fibroblast cell line MRC-5, as well as the non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549. Next, their effects on metastasis and survival in vivo were assessed in a mouse model of lung cancer. The effects of the treatments on the mRNA and protein expression levels of several regulatory factors in A549 cells and lung tissues were determined using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting. The results showed that the viability of MRC-5 and A549 cells were not affected by 0-20 µg/ml oridonin; 0-300 µg/ml LNT did not affect the viability of MRC-5 cells, but 50-400 µg/ml LNT reduced the viability of A549 cells. Thus, 20 µg/ml oridonin and 100 or 300 µg/ml LNT were used in the subsequent experiments. Treatment with oridonin and LNT, alone or combined, had no effect on MRC-5 cell viability. Oridonin treatment had no effect on A549 cell viability; however, LNT suppressed A549 cell viability, and oridonin promoted the suppressive effects of LNT on A549 cells. In vivo analysis showed that oridonin alone had no effect on metastasis and survival, but LNT decreased metastasis and survival in mice. Oridonin augmented the effects of LNT against metastasis and further improved the survival rates of mice. In both A549 cells and lung tissues, LNT increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, Bax, p53, p21 and inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-α, and reduced the mRNA and protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and NF-κB. Oridonin augmented all the effects of LNT on expression of these proteins in the cells. Together, the results showed that oridonin enhanced the antitumor effects of LNT, and may thus serve as an adjuvant alongside LNT as a novel anticancer regimen for treatment of lung cancer.
