Abstract
Bacterial infection is a global health problem that closely related to various diseases threatening human life. Although antibiotic therapy has been the mainstream treatment method for various bacterial infectious diseases for decades, the increasing emergence of bacterial drug resistance has brought enormous challenges to the application of antibiotics. Therefore, developing novel antibacterial strategies is of great importance. By producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) with photosensitizers (PSs) under light irradiation, antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as a non-invasive and promising approach for treating bacterial infections without causing drug resistance. However, the insufficient therapeutic penetration, poor hydrophilicity, and poor biocompatibility of traditional PSs greatly limit the efficacy of aPDT. Recently, studies have found that nanomaterials with characteristics of favorable photocatalytic activity, surface plasmonic resonance, easy modification, and high drug loading capacity can improve the therapeutic efficacy of aPDT. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of nanomaterials-mediated aPDT and summarize the representative nanomaterials in aPDT, either as PSs or carriers for PSs. In addition, the combination of advanced nanomaterials-mediated aPDT with other therapies, including targeted therapy, gas therapy, and multidrug resistance (MDR) therapy, is reviewed. Also, the concerns and possible solutions of nanomaterials-based aPDT are discussed. Overall, this review may provide theoretical basis and inspiration for the development of nanomaterials-based aPDT.

Abstract
Water splitting is promising, especially for energy and environmental applications; however, there are limited studies on the link between water splitting and cancer treatment. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can be used to convert near-infrared (NIR) light to ultraviolet (UV) or visible (Vis) light and have great potential for biomedical applications because of their profound penetration ability, theranostic approaches, low self-fluorescence background, reduced damage to biological tissue, and low toxicity. UCNPs with photocatalytic materials can enhance the photocatalytic activities that generate a shorter wavelength to increase the tissue penetration depth in the biological microenvironment under NIR light irradiation. Moreover, UCNPs with a photosensitizer can absorb NIR light and convert it into UV/vis light and emit upconverted photons, which excite the photoinitiator to create H2, O2, and/or OH˙ via water splitting processes when exposed to NIR irradiation. Therefore, combining UCNPs with intensified photocatalytic and photoinitiator materials may be a promising therapeutic approach for cancer treatment. This review provides a novel strategy for explaining the principles and mechanisms of UCNPs and NIR-driven UCNPs with photocatalytic materials through water splitting to achieve therapeutic outcomes for clinical applications. Moreover, the challenges and future perspectives of UCNP-based photocatalytic materials for water splitting for cancer treatment are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Controlled-release delivery systems have been widely used to improve the efficacy and bioavailability of pesticides and minimize environmental risks. Herein, a fungicide carbendazim (CBZ)-loaded, a kind of nanovalve including trimethylammoniumpillar[5]arene (AP5), and methyl orange (MO)-functionalized mesoporous selenium (MSe) nanopesticides (CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO) were prepared. The nanovalve endowed CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO with a pH-responsive property, so the CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO can respond to the microenvironment of the pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (S. sclerotiorum). First, MO was shed due to protonation, and AP5-functionalized MSe gradually dissolved in an acid environment. Finally, CBZ was released rapidly. It is reported that AP5 and MO as the host and guest functionalized mesoporous selenium (MSe) have never been applied to agriculture. In vitro release experiments showed that the cumulative release rate of CBZ at pH 4.5 was 1.74 times higher than that in a neutral environment. In addition, we found that the contact angle of the CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO in maize and rape leaves was effectively decreased, which could retain more in the leaves after washout. It can also decrease the dry biomass and the reducing sugar of S.sclerotiorum. The CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO holds a good safety profile for plants, animal cells, and the environment owing to the targeted release properties. These results suggest that CBZ@AP5/MSe⊃MO is an environmentally friendly and effective drug-loaded system against S. sclerotiorum. It provides a new strategy for the design and development of nanopesticides and the control of S. sclerotiorum.

Abstract
Ion channels are transmembrane proteins ubiquitously expressed in all cells that control various ions (e.g. Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Cl- etc) crossing cellular plasma membrane, which play critical roles in physiological processes including regulating signal transduction, cell proliferation as well as excitatory cell excitation and conduction. Abnormal ion channel function is usually associated with dysfunctions and many diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders, ophthalmic diseases, pulmonary diseases and even cancers. The precise regulation of ion channels not only helps to decipher physiological and pathological processes, but also is expected to become cutting-edge means for disease treatment. Recently, nanoparticles-mediated ion channel manipulation emerges as a highly promising way to meet the increasing requirements with respect to their simple, efficient, precise, spatiotemporally controllable and non-invasive regulation in biomedicine and other research frontiers. Thanks the advantages of their unique properties, nanoparticles can not only directly block the pore sites or kinetics of ion channels through their tiny size effect, and perturb active voltage-gated ion channel by their charged surface, but they can also act as antennas to conduct or enhance external physical stimuli to achieve spatiotemporal, precise and efficient regulation of various ion channel activities (e.g. light-, mechanical-, and temperature-gated ion channels etc). So far, nanoparticles-mediated ion channel regulation has shown potential prospects in many biomedical fields at the interfaces of neuro- and cardiovascular modulation, physiological function regeneration and tumor therapy et al. Towards such important fields, in this typical review, we specifically outline the latest studies of different types of ion channels and their activities relevant to the diseases. In addition, the different types of stimulation responsive nanoparticles, their interaction modes and targeting strategies towards the plasma membrane ion channels will be systematically summarized. More importantly, the ion channel regulatory methods mediated by functional nanoparticles and their bioapplications associated with physiological modulation and therapeutic development will be discussed. Last but not least, current challenges and future perspectives in this field will be covered as well.

Abstract
![]()
Nanoparticle-based
drug delivery systems have the potential for
increasing the efficiency of chemotherapeutics by enhancing the drug
accumulation at specific target sites, thereby reducing adverse side
effects and mitigating patient acquired resistance. In particular,
photo-responsive nanomaterials have attracted much interest due to
their ability to release molecular cargos on demand upon light irradiation.
In some settings, they can also provide complementary information
by optical imaging on the (sub)cellular scale. We herein present a
system based on lithium niobate harmonic nanoparticles (LNO HNPs)
for the decoupled multi-harmonic cell imaging and near-infrared light-triggered
delivery of an erlotinib derivative (ELA) for the treatment
of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-overexpressing carcinomas.
The ELA cargo was covalently conjugated to the surface
of silica-coated LNO HNPs through a coumarinyl photo-cleavable linker,
achieving a surface loading of the active molecule of 27 nmol/mg NPs.
The resulting nanoconjugates (LNO-CM-ELA NPs) were successfully
imaged upon pulsed laser excitation at 1250 nm in EGFR-overexpressing
human prostate cancer cells DU145 by detecting the second harmonic
emission at 625 nm, in the tissue transparency window. Tuning the
laser at 790 nm resulted in the uncaging of the ELA cargo
as a result of the second harmonic emission of the inorganic HNP core
at 395 nm. This protocol induced a significant growth inhibition in
DU145 cells, which was only observed upon specific irradiation at
790 nm, highlighting the promising capabilities of LNO-CM-ELA NPs for theranostic applications.

Abstract
Synthetic mRNAs, which are produced by in vitro transcription, have been recently attracting attention because they can express any transgenes without the risk of insertional mutagenesis. Although current synthetic mRNA medicine is not designed for spatiotemporal or cell-selective regulation, many preclinical studies have developed the systems for the translational regulation of synthetic mRNAs. Such translational regulation systems will cope with high efficacy and low adverse effects by producing the appropriate amount of therapeutic proteins, depending on the context. Protein-based regulation is one of the most promising approaches for the translational regulation of synthetic mRNAs. As synthetic mRNAs can encode not only output proteins but also regulator proteins, all components of protein-based regulation systems can be delivered as synthetic mRNAs. In addition, in the protein-based regulation systems, the output protein can be utilized as the input for the subsequent regulation to construct multi-layered gene circuits, which enable complex and sophisticated regulation. In this review, I introduce what types of proteins have been used for translational regulation, how to combine them, and how to design effective gene circuits.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are a class of optical nanocrystals doped with lanthanide ions that offer great promise for applications in controllable tumor therapy. In recent years, UCNPs have become an important tool for studying the treatment of various malignant and nonmalignant cutaneous diseases. UCNPs convert near-infrared (NIR) radiation into shorter-wavelength visible and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is much better than conventional UV activated tumor therapy as strong UV-light can be damaging to healthy surrounding tissue. Moreover, UV light generally does not penetrate deeply into the skin, an issue that UCNPs can now address. However, the current studies are still in the early stage of research, with a long way to go before clinical implementation. In this paper, we systematically analysed recent advances in light-activated tumor therapy using functionalized UCNPs. We summarized the purpose and mechanism of UCNP-based photodynamic therapy (PDT), gene therapy, immunotherapy, chemo-therapy and integrated therapy. We believe the creation of functional materials based on UCNPs will offer superior performance and enable innovative applications, increasing the scope and opportunities for cancer therapy in the future.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanosystems have been widely applied as effective modalities for drug/gene co-delivery in cancer treatment. However, precise spatiotemporal manipulations of drug/gene co-delivery, as well as multi-modality imaging-guided cancer therapy, still remain a daunting challenge. Here, multifunctional polyprodrug/siRNA loaded upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are reported that combine computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), and upconversion luminescence (UCL) tri-modality imaging and near-infrared (NIR) light-activated drug/gene on-demand delivery. The photoactivatable platinum(IV) (Pt(IV))-backbone polymers (PPt) and the siRNA targeting polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) are loaded on the surface of polyethyleneimine (PEI)-coated UCNPs (PUCNP) to obtain the multifunctional polyprodrug/siRNA loaded UCNPs (PUCNP@Pt@siPlk1). The PUCNP@Pt@siPlk1 can be served as a "nanotransducer" to convert NIR light (980 nm) into local ultraviolet (UV) to visible light for the cleavage of photosensitive PPt, resulting in the simultaneous on-demand release of high toxic platinum(II) (Pt(II)) and siPlk1. Meanwhile, the PUCNP@Pt@siPlk1 has CT, T1 -weighted MR, and UCL tri-modality imaging abilities. Based on these merits, PUCNP@Pt@siPlk1 displayed excellent synergistic therapeutic efficacy via image-guided and NIR light-activated platinum-based chemotherapy and RNA interfering in vitro and in vivo. Thus, this developed nanosystem with NIR light-controlled drug/gene delivery and multi-modality imaging abilities, will display great potential in combining chemotherapy and gene therapy.

Abstract
Light-powered catalysis has found broad utility as a chemical transformation strategy, with widespread impact on energy, environment, drug discovery and human health. A noteworthy application impacting human health is light-induced sensitization of cofactors for photodynamic therapy in cancer treatment. The clinical adoption of this photosensitization approach has inspired the search for other photochemical methods, such as photoredox catalysis, to influence biological discovery. Over the past decade, light-mediated catalysis has enabled the discovery of valuable synthetic transformations, propelling it to become a highly utilized chemical synthesis strategy. The reaction components required to achieve a photoredox reaction are identical to photosensitization (catalyst, light source and substrate), making it ideally suited for probing biological environments. In this Review, we discuss the therapeutic application of photosensitization and advancements made in developing next-generation catalysts. We then highlight emerging uses of photoredox catalytic methods for protein bioconjugation and probing complex cellular environments in living cells.

Cell Chem Biol 2021; 28:662-674.e5. [PMID: 33508227 DOI: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2021.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2020] [Revised: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 01/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
The photo-regulation of transgene expression is one effective approach in mammalian synthetic biology due to its high spatial and temporal resolution. While DNAs are mainly used as vectors, modified RNAs (modRNAs) are also useful for medical applications of synthetic biology, because they can avoid insertional mutagenesis and immunogenicity. However, the optogenetic control of modRNA-delivered transgenes is much more difficult than that of DNA-delivered transgenes. Here, we develop two types of photo-controllable translational activation systems that are compatible with modRNAs. One is composed of a heterodimerization domain-fused split translational activator protein and a photocaged heterodimerizer. The other is composed of a destabilizing domain-fused translational activator protein and a photocaged stabilizer. The destabilized type can be used for not only translational activation but also translational repression of the modRNAs. These photo-controllable translation systems will expand the application of mammalian synthetic biology research.

LUMINESCENCE 2021; 36:812-818. [PMID: 33404165 DOI: 10.1002/bio.4008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2020] [Revised: 12/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
NaYF4 :Yb3+ /Er3+ /Ho3+ nanophosphors were successfully synthesized using a solvothermal method and with various concentrations of Ho3+ ions. The crystal structure, grain size, morphology, and luminescence properties were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence measurements. All samples were crystallized as a cubic structure; it was confirmed that all samples exhibited strong green emission and weak red emission generated at a particular level of the activated ions. The strongest upconversion fluorescence intensity was observed in the Ho3+ and Er3+ ions co-doped NaYF4 materials with a Ho3+ ion concentration of 0.005 mol. Only the green fluorescence intensity at the 542 nm centre increased strongly due to the 4 S3/2 →4 I15/2 energy transfer. This increase in upconversion fluorescence intensity at a selected wavelength was described as a cross-relaxation mechanism due to the addition of Ho3+ ions.

Melanin-loaded CpG DNA hydrogel for modulation of tumor immune microenvironment. J Control Release 2020; 330:540-553.

Abstract
Photothermal immunotherapy has emerged as one of the most potent approaches for cancer treatment, but this strategy has suffered from the lack of biodegradability of the photoresponsive materials. In this study, we aimed to develop biodegradable materials for photothermal immunotherapy. To this end, we designed a DNA CpG hydrogel (DH, generated by rolling-circle amplification), loaded it with bis-(3'-5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (G/DH), and coated the formulation with melanin (Mel/G/DH). Mel/G/DH exhibited a temperature increase upon near infrared (NIR) illumination. In vitro, Mel/G/DH plus NIR (808 nm) irradiation, induced the exposure of calreticulin on CT26 cancer cells, and significantly activated the maturation of dendritic cells (DC). In vivo, local administration of Mel/G/DH (+NIR) exerted photothermal killing of primary tumors and induced maturation of DC in lymph nodes. Treatment of primary tumors with Mel/G/DH(+NIR) prevented the growth of rechallenged tumors at a distant site. Survival was 100% in mice treated with Mel/G/DH(+NIR), 5-fold higher than the group treated with Mel/G(+NIR). Mel/G/DH(+NIR) treatment remodeled the immune microenvironment of distant tumors, increasing cytotoxic T cells and decreasing Treg cells. Taken together, the results of this study suggest the potential of Mel/G/DH as a platform for modulating tumor immune microenvironment aimed at preventing the recurrence of distant tumors.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.
