[PMID: 39065639 PMCID: PMC11280080 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16070942] [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: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a potential public health issue, is a huge challenge for the advanced scientific realm to solve. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on the Fenton reaction emerged as a state-of-the-art therapeutic modality to treat GBM. However, crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to reach the GBM is another endless marathon. In this review, the physiology of the BBB has been elaborated to understand the mechanism of crossing these potential barriers to treat GBM. Moreover, the designing of Fenton-based nanomaterials has been discussed for the production of reactive oxygen species in the tumor area to eradicate the cancer cells. For effective tumor targeting, biological nanomaterials that can cross the BBB via neurovascular transport channels have also been explored. To overcome the neurotoxicity caused by inorganic nanomaterials, the use of smart nanoagents having both enhanced biocompatibility and effective tumor targeting ability to enhance the efficiency of CDT are systematically summarized. Finally, the advancements in intelligent Fenton-based nanosystems for a multimodal therapeutic approach in addition to CDT are demonstrated. Hopefully, this systematic review will provide a better understanding of Fenton-based CDT and insight into GBM treatment.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as promising devices for generating self-powered therapeutic electrical stimulation over multiple aspects of wound healing. However, the challenge of achieving full 100% contact in conventional TENGs presents a substantial hurdle in the quest for higher current output, which is crucial for further improving healing efficacy. Here, a novel multifunctional wound healing system is presented by integrating the aqueous-aqueous triboelectric nanogenerators (A-A TENGs) with a functionalized conductive hydrogel, aimed at advancing infected wound therapy. The A-A TENGs are founded on a principle of 100% contact interface and efficient post-contact separation of the immiscible interface within the aqueous two-phase system (ATPS), enhancing charge transfer and subsequently increasing current performance. Leveraging this intensified current output, this system demonstrates efficient therapeutic efficacies over infected wounds both in vitro and in vivo, including stimulating fibroblast migration and proliferation, boosting angiogenesis, enhancing collagen deposition, eradicating bacteria, and reducing inflammatory cells. Moreover, the conductive hydrogel ensures the uniformity and integrity of the electric field covering the wound site, and exhibits multiple synergistic therapeutic effects. With the capability to realize accelerated wound healing, the developed "A-A TENGs empowered multifunctional wound healing system" presenting an excellent prospect in clinical wound therapy.

Abstract
Catalytic nanoparticles (CNPs) as heterogeneous catalyst reveals superior activity due to their physio-chemical features, such as high surface-to-volume ratio and unique optical, electric, and magnetic properties. The CNPs, based on their physio-chemical nature, can either increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level for tumor and antibacterial therapy or eliminate the ROS for cytoprotection, anti-inflammation, and anti-aging. In addition, the catalytic activity of nanozymes can specifically trigger a specific reaction accompanied by the optical feature change, presenting the feasibility of biosensor and bioimaging applications. Undoubtedly, CNPs play a pivotal role in pushing the evolution of technologies in medical and clinical fields, and advanced strategies and nanomaterials rely on the input of chemical experts to develop. Herein, a systematic and comprehensive review of the challenges and recent development of CNPs for biomedical applications is presented from the viewpoint of advanced nanomaterial with unique catalytic activity and additional functions. Furthermore, the biosafety issue of applying biodegradable and non-biodegradable nanozymes and future perspectives are critically discussed to guide a promising direction in developing span-new nanozymes and more intelligent strategies for overcoming the current clinical limitations.

Abstract
Nanoagents for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) hold a promising future in the field of antimicrobials, especially copper peroxide (CuO2) (CP) nanomaterials which have garnered significant attention due to their ability to self-supply H2O2. Nevertheless, the poor stability of CuO2 remains a critical challenge which restricts its practical application in the antibacterial field. In this study, an advanced nano-antimicrobial system HA-CP@Fe3O4 with enzyme-responsive properties is developed by coating hyaluronic acid (HA) on CuO2-loaded iron tetraoxide nanoparticles. The coating of HA not only stabilizes the CuO2 nanomaterials but also provides responsiveness towards the enzyme hyaluronidase, which is typically secreted by some bacteria. The outer layer of HA in HA-CP@Fe3O4 undergoes decomposition in the presence of hyaluronidase-secreting bacteria, resulting in the release of CuO2@Fe3O4. The released CuO2@Fe3O4 then self-supplies H2O2 and generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the infected microenvironment through Fenton and Russell effects, to ultimately achieve effective and precise antimicrobial activity. Simultaneously, the magnetic property provided by Fe3O4 allows the substance to be directed towards the infection site. Both in vitro and in vivo tests demonstrated that HA-CP@Fe3O4 exhibited excellent antimicrobial capabilities at low concentration (30 μg mL-1), exceptional biocompatibility and the ability to accelerate wound healing. The findings of this work offer a new and promising approach for targeted and precise CDT.

Abstract
Ferric phosphate (FePOs) nanoenzymes can express peroxidase (POD) activity under the dual stimulation of an acidic environment and high H2O2 concentrations. In living organisms, this generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in sites of lesion infection, and thus FePOs nanoenzymes can act as antimicrobial agents. Here, CeO2 and ZnO2 were immobilized in a scallop-type FePOs nanoenzyme material loaded with a photosensitizer, indocyanine green, to synthesize a multifunctional cascade nanoparticle system (FePOs-CeO2-ZnO2-ICG, FCZI NPs). H2O2 concentrations could be adjusted through the ZnO2 self-activation response to the slightly acidic environment in biofilms, further promoting the release of ROS from the POD-like reaction of FePOs, achieving amplification of oxidative stress, DNA and cell membrane damage, and exploiting the photodynamic/photothermal effects of indocyanine green to enhance the antibiofilm effects. CeO2 can remove redundant ROS by switching from Ce4+ to Ce3+ valence, enhancing its ability to fight chronic inflammation and oxidative stress and thus promoting the regeneration of tissues around infection. By maintaining the redox balance of normal cells, increasing ROS at the infection site, eliminating redundant ROS, and protecting normal tissues from damage, the synthesized system maximizes the elimination of biofilms and treatment at the infection site. Therefore, this work may pave the way for the application of biocompatible nanoenzymes.

Abstract
As a key pathogen of periodontitis, P. gingivalis requires support of the initial colonizing bacterium (S. gordonii preferably) to form symbiotic biofilms on gingival tissues with enhanced antibiotic resistance. Here, we report a new strategy to treat periodontitis biofilms with S. gordonii membrane-coated H2O2 self-supplied nanocomposites (ZnO2/Fe3O4@MV NPs) in a "Jenga" style. Integration of our special MV coatings enables selectively enhanced internalization of the cargos in S. gordonii, thus inducing severe damage to the foundational bacterial layer and collapse/clearance of symbiotic biofilms consequently. This strategy allows us to clear the symbiotic biofilms of S. gordonii and P. gingivalis with active hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) derived from ZnO2-Fe3O4@MV NPs in a H2O2 self-supplied, nanocatalyst-assisted manner. This "Jenga-style" treatment provides a cutting-edge proof of concept for the removal of otherwise robust symbiotic biofilms of periodontitis where the critical pathogens are difficult to target and have antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has garnered significant interest as an innovative approach for cancer treatment, owing to its notable tumor specificity and selectivity, minimal systemic toxicity and side effects, and absence of the requirement for field stimulation during treatment. This treatment utilizes nanocatalytic medicines containing transitional metals to release metal ions within tumor cells, subsequently initiating Fenton and Fenton-like reactions. These reactions convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into hydroxyl radical (•OH) specifically within the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby inducing apoptosis in tumor cells. However, insufficient endogenous H2O2, the overexpressed reducing substances in the TME, and the weak acidity of solid tumors limit the performance of CDT and restrict its application in vivo. Therefore, a variety of nanozymes and strategies have been designed and developed in order to potentiate CDT against tumors, including the application of various nanozymes and different strategies to remodel TME for enhanced CDT (e.g., increasing the H2O2 level in situ, depleting reductive substances, and lowering the pH value). This review presents an overview of the design and development of various nanocatalysts and the corresponding strategies employed to enhance catalytic drug targeting in recent years. Additionally, it delves into the prospects and obstacles that lie ahead for the future advancement of CDT.

Abstract
The wide and frequent use of antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infection can cause the occurrence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, which becomes a serious health threat. Therefore, it is necessary to develop antibiotic-independent treatment modalities. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is defined as the approach employing Fenton and/or Fenton-like reactions for generating hydroxyl radical (•OH) that can kill target cells. Recently, CDT has been successfully employed for antibacterial applications. Apart from the common Fe-mediated CDT strategy, antibacterial CDT strategies mediated by other metal elements such as copper, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, platinum, tungsten, nickel, silver, ruthenium, and zinc have also been proposed. Furthermore, different types of materials like nanomaterials and hydrogels can be adopted for constructing CDT-involved antibacterial platforms. Besides, CDT can introduce some toxic metal elements and then achieve synergistic antibacterial effects together with reactive oxygen species. Finally, CDT can be combined with other therapies such as starvation therapy, phototherapy, and sonodynamic therapy for achieving improved antibacterial performance. This review first summarizes the advancements in antibacterial CDT and then discusses the present limitations and future research directions in this field, hoping to promote the development of more effective materials and strategies for achieving potentiated CDT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biofilm formation and its resistance to various antibiotics is a serious health problem in the treatment of wound infections. An ideal wound dressing should have characteristics such as protection of wound from microbial infection, suitable porosity (to absorb wound exudates), proper permeability (to maintain wound moisture), nontoxicity, and biocompatibility. Although silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been investigated as antimicrobial agents, their limitations in penetrating into the biofilm, affecting their efficiency, have consistently been an area for further research. RESULTS Consequently, in this study, the optimal amounts of natural and synthetic polymers combination, along with AgNPs, accompanied by iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), were utilized to fabricate a smart bionanocomposite that meets all the requirements of an ideal wound dressing. Superparamagnetic IONPs (with the average size of 11.8 nm) were synthesized through co-precipitation method using oleic acid to improve their stability. It was found that the addition of IONPs to bionanocomposites had a synergistic effect on their antibacterial and antibiofilm properties. Cytotoxicity assay results showed that nanoparticles does not considerably affect eukaryotic cells compared to prokaryotic cells. Based on the images obtained by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), significant AgNPs release was observed when an external magnetic field (EMF) was applied to the bionanocomposites loaded with IONPs, which increased the antibacterial activity and inhibited the formation of biofilm significantly. CONCLUSION These finding indicated that the nanocomposite recommended can have an efficient properties for the management of wounds through prevention and treatment of antibiotic-resistant biofilm.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage is a main cause of pre-hospital death. Given the importance of hemostatic wound dressings in pre-hospital emergency treatment, novel composite materials are required for fast hemostasis, synergistic bacterial ablation with negligible resistance and wound healing acceleration. Herein, multifunctional SCTF cryogels were fabricated by the simultaneous cross-linking of sodium alginate (SA) and tannic acid (TA) with Fe3+ ions. As a result, the prepared SCTF cryogels consisted of Fe3+/TA-based metal phenolic networks (MPNs) and Fe3+/SA-based 3D skeleton for collagen (CA). MPNs endowed the cryogels with photothermal effect, photothermal-enhanced Fenton activity and pH/photothermal dual-responsive release property of TA and Fe2+, which were beneficial for the antibacterial capacity. Due to the intrinsic high porosity, in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that SCTF cryogels possessed good hemostatic capacity. Moreover, the synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and pH/photothermal responsive chemo-therapy dramatically enhanced the bactericidal efficacy of SCTF cryogels both in vitro and in vivo. Eventually, their outstanding healing-accelerating effects were confirmed via animal experiments, which were attributed to the presence of CA and TA. Therefore, the developed composite materials could offer new strategy on exploiting multifunctional wound dressing for clinical applications in the future.

Abstract
Wound healing is characterized by complex, orchestrated, spatiotemporal dynamic processes. Recent findings demonstrated suitable local microenvironments were necessities for wound healing. Wound microenvironments include various biological, biochemical and physical factors, which are produced and regulated by endogenous biomediators, exogenous drugs, and external environment. Successful drug delivery to wound is complicated, and need to overcome the destroyed blood supply, persistent inflammation and enzymes, spatiotemporal requirements of special supplements, and easy deactivation of drugs. Triggered by various factors from wound microenvironment itself or external elements, stimuli-responsive biomaterials have tremendous advantages of precise drug delivery and release. Here, we discuss recent advances of stimuli-responsive biomaterials to regulate local microenvironments during wound healing, emphasizing on the design and application of different biomaterials which respond to wound biological/biochemical microenvironments (ROS, pH, enzymes, glucose and glutathione), physical microenvironments (mechanical force, temperature, light, ultrasound, magnetic and electric field), and the combination modes. Moreover, several novel promising drug carriers (microbiota, metal-organic frameworks and microneedles) are also discussed.

Modulating the local coordination environment of cobalt single-atomic nanozymes for enhanced catalytic therapy against bacteria. Acta Biomater 2023; 164:563-576.

Abstract
Single-atomic nanozymes (SANZs) characterized by atomically dispersed single metal atoms have recently contributed to breakthroughs in biomedicine due to their satisfactory catalytic activity and superior selectivity compared to their nanoscale counterparts. The catalytic performance of SANZs can be improved by modulating their coordination structure. Therefore, adjusting the coordination number of the metal atoms in the active center is a potential method for enhancing the catalytic therapy effect. In this study, we synthesized various atomically dispersed Co nanozymes with different nitrogen coordination numbers for peroxidase (POD)-mimicking single-atomic catalytic antibacterial therapy. Among the single-atomic Co nanozymes with nitrogen coordination numbers of 3 (SACNZs-N3-C) and 4 (SACNZs-N4-C), single-atomic Co nanozymes with a coordination number of 2 (SACNZs-N2-C) had the highest POD-like catalytic activity. Kinetic assays and Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that reducing the coordination number can lower the reaction energy barrier of single-atomic Co nanozymes (SACNZs-Nx-C), thereby increasing their catalytic performance. In vitro and in vivo antibacterial assays demonstrated that SACNZs-N2-C had the best antibacterial effect. This study provides proof of concept for enhancing single-atomic catalytic therapy by regulating the coordination number for various biomedical applications, such as tumor therapy and wound disinfection. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The use of nanozymes that contain single-atomic catalytic sites has been shown to effectively promote the healing of bacteria-infected wounds by exhibiting peroxidase-like activity. The homogeneous coordination environment of the catalytic site has been associated with high antimicrobial activity, which provides insight into designing new active structures and understanding their mechanisms of action. In this study, we designed a series of cobalt single-atomic nanozymes (PSACNZs-Nx-C) with different coordination environments by shearing the Co-N bond and modifying polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The synthesized PSACNZs-Nx-C demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, and showed good biocompatibility in both in vivo and in vitro experiments.

Abstract
In recent years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) or chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on the antimicrobial property or anti-biofilm property of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been widely recognized for their low susceptibility to microbial resistance. However, due to the complication of the three-dimensional structure of the biofilm at the wound site and the high quenching rate of common ROS, the treatment with traditional ROS could not achieve satisfactory wound healing effects. Here, Na2S2O8@ZIF-67/GOx nanoparticles (NZG NPs) were prepared as a new high-toxic ROS nanogenerator for application of biofilm-infecting wound healing with the assistance of glucose oxidase (GOx) for amplified CDT and immune activation. When the NZG NPs entered the biofilm, Co-based metal organic frame (ZIF-67) ruptured in the acidic microenvironment, which induced the release of GOx and the production of gluconic acid and H2O2, further promoting the decrease of pH of the biofilm microenvironment and in turn accelerating the cleavage of ZIF-67 and the release of Na2S2O8. Then, S2O82- could gradually transformed into high-toxic sulfate radical (SO4-), part of which further produced OH in situ with H2O, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of bacteria and biofilms. Interestingly, these two types of ROS not only caused direct damage to the biofilm, but also activated the immune system of the wound site as well as the body more effectively, which also played an indirect role in promoting biofilm destruction and wound healing. In vitro and in vivo results showed that, as a new high-toxic ROS nanogenerator, the NZG NPs supply amplified chemodynamic therapy and immune activation to destroy biofilms, but also achieve effective wound healing without causing bacterial tolerance, which provides a new strategy for the development of biofilm-infecting wound healing.

Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is seriously endangering the global healthcare system. There is an urgent need for combining imaging with therapies to realize the real-time monitoring of pathological condition and treatment progress. It also provides guidance on exploring new medicines and enhance treatment strategies to overcome the antibiotic resistance of existing conventional antibiotics. In this review, we provide a thorough overview of the most advanced image-guided approaches for bacterial diagnosis (e.g., computed tomography imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, photoacoustic imaging, ultrasound imaging, fluorescence imaging, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography imaging, and multiple imaging), and therapies (e.g., photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, and multiple therapies). This review focuses on how to design and fabricate photo-responsive materials for improved image-guided bacterial theranostics applications. We present a potential application of different image-guided modalities for both bacterial diagnosis and therapies with representative examples. Finally, we highlighted the current challenges and future perspectives image-guided approaches for future clinical translation of nano-theranostics in bacterial infections therapies. We envision that this review will provide for future development in image-guided systems for bacterial theranostics applications.

Abstract
Due to the negligible bacterial resistance, chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a promising treatment for bacterial infection. However, it is severely impeded by the constant body temperature, shortage of Fe(Ⅱ) ions and insufficient H2O2 level in infected tissue. To enhance the therapeutic efficiency of CDT, improved strategies are urgently needed to tackle these problems. Herein, we exploited an infection microenvironment-responsive nanotherapeutics for near-infrared (NIR)/dihydroartemisinin (DHA) dual-augmented antibacterial CDT. The convenient encapsulation of DHA-loaded α-Fe2O3 nanorods with metal-polyphenol networks (MPN) led to the generation of an antibacterial nanoagent Fe2O3@DHA@MPN (FDM). Afterwards, its photothermal and peroxidase-like activities were intensively studied. Furthermore, the bactericidal efficacy of FDM was evaluated through both in vitro and in vivo antibacterial assays. Firstly, FDM showed both satisfactory photothermal and NIR/DHA dual-augmented peroxidase-like activities. Besides, it exhibited a pH-responsive release behavior of both Fe(Ⅱ) ions and DHA. Moreover, it presented tannic acid-mediated bacterial adhesion effect. In vitro experiments demonstrated that FDM could achieve a satisfactory efficiency against both planktonic bacteria and biofilms. In vivo assays illustrated both the extraordinary synergistic antibacterial effect and efficient anti-inflammatory ability of FDM. The outcomes indicated that the exploited antibacterial agent could offer new insight on developing intelligent nanotherapeutics for clinical use in the future. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The antibacterial efficiency of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is seriously limited by the constant body temperature, shortage of Fe(Ⅱ) ions and insufficient H2O2 level at the mildly acidic inflammatory microenvironment. To address these issues, we have developed a pH-responsive nanoagent (Fe2O3@DHA@MPN) for near-infrared (NIR)/dihydroartemisinin (DHA) dual-augmented CDT. Through the NIR-induced photothermal effect of exterior Fe(Ⅲ)/tannic acid complex, the increased local temperature led to a photothermal enhanced CDT. Besides, a continuous supply of Fe(Ⅱ) ions could be achieved by tannic acid-mediated Fe(Ⅲ) reduction. Moreover, DHA was adopted as a substitute for H2O2 to initiate DHA-mediated CDT. Both in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated its outstanding bactericidal efficiency. Therefore, the developed nanotherapeutics could be a promising candidate for clinical trials.

Abstract
Overall, chronic injuries place considerable burden on patients and health systems. The skin injuries are exposed to inflammatory bacteria and hinder the healing process. The skin being the biggest tissue of the whole body ensures protection against microbial invasion, dehydration, and against chemical, thermal, bright radiations and mechanical agents. When injured, the skin loses its defensive purpose and the attack of bacterial types arises with the loss of protein, water, and electrolytes. Improved wound closure therapy helps to restore normal skin function by managing wounds with the help of a suitable skin replacement. According to the type of wound and its healing ability, an appropriate skin replacement system must be identified. Nanofibrous layers because of their permeable structure, their large superficial reach and their similarity with the local extracellular network serve as cutaneous substitution for dealing with deep and superficial injuries. By a diminished microbial load without infestation, scab formation and infiltration of defense cells in the initial phase, acute injuries are usually characterized. Here recovery is related with epithelialization, angiogenesis and relocation of fibroblasts. The wound becomes obstinate when microbial biofilms are developed while the immune system does not manage to eliminate the infection. Increased inflammatory process, lower deep tissue oxygenation, fibrin cuffs, fibroblastic senescence, altered angiogenesis, stalled re-epithelialization and chronic infection have been visualized. Conventional wound mending treatments for the most part falling flat to supply a great clinical result, either basically like wound epithelialization and regulation of fluid loss or practically like histological highlights that decide versatility, strength, affectability, etc. Conventional wound therapies commonly fail to offer a better medical output, like wound epithelialization and regulation of fluid reduction or physiologically like cellular features that determine durability, sensitivity, elasticity, etc. Nanotechnology may be a dependable investigation space for wound-healing treatments through their versatile physicochemical properties. Advancing nano platforms with novel solutions for curing chronicdiabetic wounds are discussed in detail that can guide further research in this sector.

Abstract
As we step into the post-antibiotic era, the accelerated emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria poses an increasingly serious threat to public health. The formation of antibiotic-resistant biofilms further challenges currently available drugs and treatment options, calling for novel strategies for effective ablation of such biofilm with minimal concern on safety and development of resistance. Herein, we report a novel type of photodynamic nanoagent, composed of chlorin e6 (Ce6)-loaded water-soluble chitosan-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (named Ce6@WCS-IONP), for drug-resistant bacteria killing and biofilm eradication. The fabricated Ce6@WCS-IONP has negligible toxicity to mammalian cells and exhibited equivalent singlet oxygen generation capacity to free Ce6; however, its association with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was greatly enhanced, as evidenced by flow cytometry analysis and transmission electron microscope. In vitro studies verified that Ce6@WCS-IONP has superior photodynamic bactericidal effect against planktonic MRSA. Furthermore, with the aid of the cationic nature and small size, Ce6@WCS-IONP could effectively penetrate into MRSA biofilm, revealed by 3D fluorescence imaging. Both biomass analysis and viable bacteria counting demonstrated that Ce6@WCS-IONP showed potent biofilm ablation efficacy, averagely 7.1 log unit lower than that in free Ce6 group upon identical light irradiation. In addition, local treatment of MRSA-infected mice with Ce6@WCS-IONP plus light irradiation resulted in significant antibacterial and wound healing effect, accompanied by good biocompatibility in vivo. Collectively, photosensitizer-loaded cationic IONP with effective biofilm penetration and photodynamic eradication potential might be a promising nano platform in fighting against antibiotic-resistant microbial pathogen and biofilm.

Abstract
As the prevalence of diabetes increases year by year and the aging population continues to intensify in the world, chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers have become serious problems that threaten people's health, and have brought an enormous burden to the world healthcare system. Conventional clinical treatment of chronic wounds relies on non-specific topical care (including debridement, infection/inflammation control, and frequent wound dressing changes), which can alleviate disease progression and reduce patient suffering to a certain extent, but the overall cure rate is less than 50% and the recurrence rate is high. Traditional wound dressings such as gauze, hydrocolloids, films and foams are single-function, acting as a physical barrier or absorbing exudates, and cannot meet all the needs of the entire chronic wound healing process. Recently, a large number of novel functional dressings have been reported for chronic wound repair. Based on the progress on wound dressings in recent years and the relevant research experience of our group, the review summarizes and discusses the progress on multifunctional wound dressings (such as microneedles, sponges and hydrogels) with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, pro-angiogenic and tissue adhesive functions in detail. At the same time, the various responsive mechanisms (in vivo microenvironment or in vitro stimulation) of the smart multifunctional wound dressing are also analyzed in detail. It is expected that the review could provide some inspiration and suggestions for research on dressings for chronic wound treatment.

[PMID: 35812348 PMCID: PMC9258688 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbac041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Metal-based nanomaterials usually have broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, low biological toxicity, and no drug resistance due to their intrinsic enzyme-like catalytic properties and external field (magnetic, thermal, acoustic, optical, electrical) responsiveness. Herein, Iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (IONPs) synthesized by us have good biosafety, excellent photothermal conversion ability, and peroxidase-like catalytic activity, which can be used to construct a photothermal-enzymes combined antibacterial treatment platform. IONPs with peroxide-like catalytic activity can induce H2O2 to catalyze the production of •OH in a slightly acidic environment, thus achieving certain bactericidal effects and increasing the sensitivity of bacteria to heat. When stimulated by NIR light, the photothermal effect could destroy bacterial cell membranes, resulting in cleavage and inactivation of bacterial protein, DNA, or RNA. Meanwhile, it can also improve the catalytic activity of peroxidase-like, and promote IONPs to catalyze the production of more •OH for killing bacteria. After IONPs synergistic treatment, the antibacterial rate of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus reached nearly 100%. It also has an obvious killing effect on bacteria in infected wounds of mice, and can effectively promote the healing of S. aureus-infected wounds, which has great application potential in clinical anti-infection treatment.

Magnetic cryogels as a shape-selective and customizable platform for hyperthermia-mediated drug delivery. Sci Rep 2022; 12:9654. [PMID: 35688935 PMCID: PMC9187744 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-13572-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Cryogels consisting of polyvinyl alcohol and iron (II, III) oxide magnetic nanoparticles coated with a model drug—acetaminophen, were developed as a tunable platform for thermally triggered drug release, based on shape-selective heat transfer. Two different shapes of cryogels; discs and spherical caps, were formed via adding polymer-nanoparticle-drug mixtures into 3D printed molds, followed by freeze-thawing five times. No additional chemical crosslinking agents were used for gel formation and the iron oxide nanoparticles were coated with acetaminophen using only citric acid as a hydrogen-bonding linker. The two gel shapes displayed varying levels of acetaminophen release within 42–50 °C, which are ideal temperatures for hyperthermia induced drug delivery. The amount and time of drug-release were shown to be tunable by changing the temperature of the medium and the shape of the gels, while keeping all other factors (ex. gel volume, surface area, polymer/nanoparticle concentrations and drug-loading) constant. The discs displayed higher drug release at all temperatures while being particularly effective at lower temperatures (42–46 °C), in contrast to the spherical caps, which were more effective at higher temperatures (48–50 °C). Magnetic hyperthermia-mediated thermal imaging and temperature profiling studies revealed starkly different heat transfer behavior from the two shapes of gels. The disc gels retained their structural integrity up to 51 °C, while the spherical caps were stable up to 59 °C, demonstrating shape-dependent robustness. The highly customizable physicochemical features, facile synthesis, biocompatibility and tunable drug release ability of these cryogels offer potential for their application as a low cost, safe and effective platform for hyperthermia-mediated drug delivery, for external applications such as wound care/muscle repair or internal applications such as melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Polymersomes (or polymer vesicles) have attracted much attention for biomedical applications in recent years because their lumen can be used for drug delivery and their coronas and membrane can be modified with a variety of functional groups. Thus, polymersomes are very suitable for improved antibacterial and anticancer therapy. This review mainly highlighted recent advances in the synthetic protocols and design principles of intelligent antibacterial and anticancer polymersomes. Antibacterial polymersomes are divided into three categories: polymersomes as antibiotic nanocarriers, intrinsically antibacterial polymersomes, and antibacterial polymersomes with supplementary means including photothermal and photodynamic therapy. Similarly, the anticancer polymersomes are divided into two categories: polymersomes-based delivery systems and anticancer polymersomes with supplementary means. In addition, the bilateral relationship between bacteria and cancer is addressed, since more and more evidences show that bacteria may cause cancer or promote cancer progression. Finally, prospective on next-generation antibacterial and anticancer polymersomes are discussed. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Lipid-Based Structures.

Abstract
The emergence of bacterial resistance due to the evolution of microbes under antibiotic selection pressure, and their ability to form biofilm, has necessitated the development of alternative antimicrobial therapeutics. Physical stimulation, as a powerful antimicrobial method to disrupt microbial structure, has been widely used in food and industrial sterilization. With advances in nanotechnology, nanophysical antimicrobial strategies (NPAS) have provided unprecedented opportunities to treat antibiotic-resistant infections, via a combination of nanomaterials and physical stimulations. In this review, NPAS are categorized according to the modes of their physical stimulation, which include mechanical, optical, magnetic, acoustic, and electrical signals. The biomedical applications of NPAS in combating bacterial infections are systematically introduced, with a focus on their design and antimicrobial mechanisms. Current challenges and further perspectives of NPAS in the clinical treatment of bacterial infections are also summarized and discussed to highlight their potential use in clinical settings. The authors hope that this review will attract more researchers to further advance the promising field of NPAS, and provide new insights for designing powerful strategies to combat bacterial resistance.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria represent a global threat to human health. However, due to the abuse of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacteria have evolved rapidly and led to the failure of antibiotics treatment. Alternative antimicrobial strategies different to traditional antibiotics are urgently needed. Enzyme-based antibacterials (Enzybiotics) have gradually attracted interest owing to their advantages including high specificity, rapid mode-of-action, no resistance development, etc. However, due to their low stability, potential immunogenicity, and high cost of natural enzymes, enzybiotics have limitations in practical antibacterial therapy. In recent years, many nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities (Nanozymes) have been discovered as a new generation of artificial enzymes and perform catalytic antibacterial effects against bacterial resistance. To highlight the progress in this field of nanozyme-based antibacterials (Nanozybiotics), this review discussed the antibacterial mechanism of action of nanozybiotics with a comparison with enzybiotics. We propose that nanozybiotics may bear promising applications in antibacterial therapy, due to their high stability, rapid bacterial killing, biofilm elimination, and low cost.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics, which catalyze the conversion of enzyme substrates and follow enzymatic kinetics under physiological conditions. As a new generation of artificial enzymes, nanozymes provide alternative approaches for those upon enzymatic catalysis. Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes have the advantages of simple preparation, good stability and low cost, which makes nanozymes promising for application in many fields, such as antimicrobial infection treatment. Many studies have reported that nanozymes are capable of killing a number of pathogenic bacteria with resistance, fungi as well as viruses, and have shown great curative effects for diseases caused by these pathogens. Herein, we summarize the application of nanozymes for antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal therapies and outline the issues needing resolution in the future. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a novel cancer therapeutic strategy defined as the treatment using Fenton or Fenton-like reaction to produce •OH in the tumor region, was first proposed by Bu, Shi, and co-workers in 2016. Recently, with the rapid development of Fenton and Fenton-like nanomaterials, CDT has attracted tremendous attention because of its unique advantages: 1) It is tumor-selective with low side effects; 2) the CDT process does not depend on external field stimulation; 3) it can modulate the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment; 4) the treatment cost of CDT is low. In addition to the Fe-involved CDT strategies, the Fenton-like reaction-mediated CDT strategies have also been proposed, which are based on many other metal elements including copper, manganese, cobalt, titanium, vanadium, palladium, silver, molybdenum, ruthenium, tungsten, cerium, and zinc. Moreover, CDT has been combined with other therapies like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, sonodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy for achieving enhanced anticancer effects. Besides, there have also been studies that extend the application of CDT to the antibacterial field. This review introduces the latest advancements in the nanomaterials-involved CDT from 2018 to the present and proposes the current limitations as well as future research directions in the related field.

Abstract
Mechanical regulation and electric stimulation hold great promise in skin tissue engineering for manipulating wound healing. However, the complexity of equipment operation and stimulation implementation remains an ongoing challenge in clinical applications. Here, we propose a programmable and skin temperature-activated electromechanical synergistic wound dressing composed of a shape memory alloy-based mechanical metamaterial for wound contraction and an antibacterial electret thin film for electric field generation. This strategy is successfully demonstrated on rats to achieve effective wound healing in as short as 4 and 8 days for linear and circular wounds, respectively, with a statistically significant over 50% improvement in wound closure rate versus the blank control group. The optimally designed electromechanical synergistic stimulation could regulate the wound microenvironment to accelerate healing metabolism, promote wound closure, and inhibit infection. This work provided an effective wound healing strategy in the context of a programmable temperature-responsive, battery-free electromechanical synergistic biomedical device.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced nanosystems represent one of the most essential, efficient, and encouraging nanobactericides for eliminating bacterial infection concerning the increasing resistance threats of existing antibiotics. Among them, Fenton-type metal peroxide nanoparticles are exciting nanomaterials with intriguing physiochemical properties, yet the study of this antimicrobial agent is still in its infancy. Herein, a robust pH-responsive Fenton nanosystem is constructed by the assembly of copper peroxide nanodots in pomegranate-like mesoporous silica nanoshells (CuO2@SiO2) that are capable of self-supplying H2O2 and sustainably generating O2. The enhanced antimicrobial performance is attributed to the pH responsiveness and excellent Fenton catalytic activity through either the Cu2+-catalyzed conversion of H2O2 to detrimental ROS under acid treatment or in situ O2 evolution in neutral media. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo investigations demonstrate that this nanocomposite can exhibit boosted antimicrobial capabilities and can significantly accelerate skin wound closure, while retaining outstanding cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility. Given its excellent physicochemical and antimicrobial properties, the broad application of this nanocomposite in bacteria-associated wound management is anticipated.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging approach to overcome bacterial infections that can efficiently convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH). How to develop safe and effective CDT-based strategies is in high demand but challenging. Herein, a cascade catalytic nanoplatform (GOx-NCs/Fe3O4) was designed by absorbing glucose oxidase (GOx) onto the surface of covalent-assembled polymer capsules (NCs) encapsulating Fe3O4 nanoparticles. With the presence of glucose, GOx could effectively catalyze it to produce H2O2 and result in a decrease in pH value, both of which would assist the subsequent Fenton reaction. Encapsulated Fe3O4 nanoparticles would subsequently trigger H2O2 to produce ˙OH, which could make antibacterial CDT come true. More importantly, the polymer capsules exhibited little to no cytotoxicity towards mammalian cells, which might provide more opportunities and potential to apply in other fields.
