Abstract
Tumoricidal photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) therapies harness light to eliminate cancer cells with spatiotemporal precision by either generating reactive oxygen species or increasing temperature. Great strides have been made in understanding biological effects of PDT and PTT at the cellular, vascular and tumor microenvironmental levels, as well as translating both modalities in the clinic. Emerging evidence suggests that PDT and PTT may synergize due to their different mechanisms of action, and their nonoverlapping toxicity profiles make such combination potentially efficacious. Moreover, PDT/PTT combinations have gained momentum in recent years due to the development of multimodal nanoplatforms that simultaneously incorporate photodynamically- and photothermally active agents. In this review, we discuss how combining PDT and PTT can address the limitations of each modality alone and enhance treatment safety and efficacy. We provide an overview of recent literature featuring dual PDT/PTT nanoparticles and analyze the strengths and limitations of various nanoparticle design strategies. We also detail how treatment sequence and dose may affect cellular states, tumor pathophysiology and drug delivery, ultimately shaping the treatment response. Lastly, we analyze common experimental design pitfalls that complicate preclinical assessment of PDT/PTT combinations and propose rational guidelines to elucidate the mechanisms underlying PDT/PTT interactions.

Abstract
Reversibly controlling the dye arrangements in living systems has great potential to realize spatiotemporally controlled photomedicine. However, tuning or even maintaining a certain arrangement of dyes in a complex living environments is extremely challenging due to the interference of the various biological species. Herein, a conceptual supramolecular strategy to engineer a switchable photosensitizer (PS) via mitochondria-mediated dynamic interconversion between monomer and J-aggregation, enabling specific activation of the mitochondria-targeting photodynamic therapy (PDT) and hibernation after mitochondria damage is presented. The presented mitochondria-mediated "activate-then-hibernate" PS design enables a fascinating spatiotemporally controlled PDT in which spatially controlled mitochondrial-targeting enhances therapeutic efficacy and temporally controlled activation-then-hibernation averts off-target damage during PDT and tissue damage after clinical treatment, thus offering significant potential for biological research and clinical needs.

Fabrication of a phototheranostic nanoplatform for single laser-triggered NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided photothermal/chemo/antiangiogenic combination therapy. Acta Biomater 2022; 151:528-536. [PMID: 35970478 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.08.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Phototheranostics that integrates real-time optical imaging and light-controlled therapy has recently emerged as a promising paradigm for cancer theranostics. Herein, a new small molecule dye DPP-BT-TPA with strong emission above 1000 nm and a redox-responsive prodrug camptothecin-combretastatin A4 (CPT-CA4) were designed and successfully synthesized. A multifunctional phototheranostic nanoplatform was then fabricated by encapsulating them within an amphiphilic polymer. The presence of DPP-BT-TPA enabled high-resolution imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) and efficient photothermal therapy. The prodrug was cleaved by the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment to release the chemotherapeutic drug CPT and the angiogenesis inhibitor CA4. Because this process can be accelerated with elevated temperature, laser-induced hyperthermia was utilized to control the drug release and enhance the therapeutic effect. Tumors in living mice were observed through NIR-II imaging after intravenous injection of the obtained nanoparticles. Improved antitumor efficacy by photothermal/chemo/antiangiogenic combination therapy was achieved with a NIR laser both in vitro and in vivo. This work provides a promising strategy for developing tumor microenvironment responsive and light-controlled theranostic platforms. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window and near-infrared light-controlled drug release have been recognized as efficient strategies for cancer theranostics. Herein, we present a phototheranostic platform fabricated with a biocompatible NIR-II emissive dye DPP-BT-TPA and a redox-responsive prodrug camptothecin-combretastatin A4 (CPT-CA4). DPP-BT-TPA not only provides high-resolution NIR-II imaging in vivo but also enables efficient photothermal therapy. In addition, the photothermal effect largely accelerates the release of the chemotherapeutic drug CPT and the angiogenesis inhibitor CA4 in the glutathione-overexpressed tumor microenvironment. Thus, the designed phototheranostic platform can be used for NIR-II imaging-guided photothermal/chemo/antiangiogenic combination therapy for tumors with a single laser.

Abstract
Self-assembled photonic systems with well-organized spatial arrangement and engineered optical properties can be used as efficient energy materials and as effective biomedical agents. The lessons learned from natural light-harvesting antennas have inspired the design and synthesis of a series of biomimetic photonic complexes, including those containing strongly coupled dye aggregates with dense molecular packing and unique spectroscopic features. These photoactive components provide excellent features that could be coupled to multiple applications including light-harvesting, energy transfer, biosensing, bioimaging, and cancer therapy. Meanwhile, nanoscale DNA assemblies have been employed as programmable and addressable templates to guide the formation of DNA-directed multi-pigment complexes, which can be used to enhance the complexity and precision of artificial photonic systems and show the potential for energy and biomedical applications. This review focuses on the interface of DNA nanotechnology and biomimetic photonic systems. We summarized the recent progress in the design, synthesis, and applications of bioinspired photonic systems, highlighted the advantages of the utilization of DNA nanostructures, and discussed the challenges and opportunities they provide.

Abstract
Photothermal nanomedicine based on self-assembly of biological components, with excellent biosafety and customized performance, is vital significance for precision cancer therapy. However, the programmable design of photothermal nanomedicine remains extremely challenging due to the vulnerability and variability of noncovalent interactions governing supramolecular self-assembly. Herein, it is reported that amino acid encoding is a facile and potent means to design and construct supramolecular photothermal nanodrugs with controlled therapeutic activities. It is found that the amount and type of amino acid dominates the assembled nanostructures, structural stability, energy-conversion pathway, and therapeutic mechanism of the resulting nanodrugs. Two optimized nanodrugs are endowed with robust structural integrity against disassembly along with high photothermal conversion efficiency, efficient cellular internalization, and enhanced tumor accumulation, which result in more efficient tumor ablation. This work demonstrates that design based on amino acid encoding offers an unprecedented opportunity for the construction of remarkable photoactive nanomedicines toward cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.

A Comparison of the Effects of Several Foliar Forms of Magnesium Fertilization on ‘Superior Seedless’ (Vitis vinifera L.) in Saline Soils. COATINGS 2022.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) is the most essential element constituent in chlorophyll molecules that regulates photosynthesis processes. The physiological response of ‘Superior Seedless’ grapes was evaluated under different foliar magnesium fertilization such as sulfate magnesium (MgSO4·7 H2O), magnesium disodium EDTA (Mg-EDTA), and magnesium nanoparticles (Mg-NPs) during the berry development stages (flowering, fruit set, veraison, and harvest). In general, the ‘Superior Seedless’ vine had a higher performance in photosynthesis with Mg-NPs application than other forms. The Fy/Fm ratio declined rapidly after the fruit set stage; then, it decreased gradually up until the harvesting stage. However, both MgSO4 and Mg-EDTA forms showed slight differences in Fv/Fm ratio during the berry development stages. The outcomes of this research suggest that the Fv/Fm ratio during the growth season of the ‘Superior Seedless’ vine may be a good tool to assess magnesium fertilization effects before visible deficiency symptoms appear. Mg-NPs are more effective at improving ‘Superior Seedless’ berry development than the other magnesium forms. These findings suggest that applying foliar Mg-NPs to vines grown on salinity-sandy soil alleviates the potential Mg deficiency in ‘Superior Seedless’ vines and improves bunches quality.

Abstract
Phototheranostics represents a promising direction for modern precision medicine, which has recently received considerable attention for cancer research. The ingenious integration of all phototheranostic modalities in a single molecule with precise spatial colocalization is a tremendously challenging task, which mainly arises from the complexity of molecular design and energy dissipation. Reports on a single molecular one-for-all theranostic agent are still very rare. Herein, we designed two novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active fluorogens (AIEgens, named DPMD and TPMD) with a cross-shaped donor-acceptor structure via a facile synthetic method and constructed versatile nanoparticles (NPs) by encapsulating AIEgen with an amphiphilic polymer. The AIEgen TPMD with a twisted structure, high donor-acceptor (D-A) strength, small singlet-triplet energy gap, and abundant intramolecular rotators and vibrators was selected as an ideal candidate for balancing and utilizing the radiative and nonradiative energy dissipations. Notably, TPMD NPs simultaneously possess adequate near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence emission at 821 nm for fluorescence imaging, effective reactive oxygen species generation for photodynamic therapy (PDT), and outstanding photothermal effect for photoacoustic imaging, photothermal imaging, and photothermal therapy (PTT), which demonstrates the superior potential of AIE NPs in multimodal imaging-guided synergistic PDT/PTT therapy.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) have revolutionized multiple aspects of medicine by enabling novel sensing, diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches. Advancements in processing and fabrication have also allowed significant expansion in the applications of the major classes of NMs based on polymer, metal/metal oxide, carbon, liposome, or multi-scale macro-nano bulk materials. Concomitantly, concerns regarding the nanotoxicity and overall biocompatibility of NMs have been raised. These involve putative negative effects on both patients and those subjected to occupational exposure during manufacturing. In this review, we describe the current state of testing of NMs including those that are in clinical use, in clinical trials, or under development. We also discuss the cellular and molecular interactions that dictate their toxicity and biocompatibility. Specifically, we focus on the reciprocal interactions between NMs and host proteins, lipids, and sugars and how these induce responses in immune and other cell types leading to topical and/or systemic effects.

[PMID: 33116189 PMCID: PMC7595215 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-75262-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
In this article, we highlight the alterations in the photoinduced electron transfer (ET) and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) pathways between an anti-tumor drug vitamin-K3 (MQ) and a nucleobase adenine (ADN) in the presence of gold (Au) and iron (Fe) nanoparticles (NPs). Inside the confined micellar media, with laser flash photolysis corroborated with an external magnetic field (MF), we have detected the transient geminate radicals of MQ and ADN, photo-generated through ET and HAT. We observe that the presence of AuNP on the MQ-ADN complex (AuMQ-ADN) assists HAT by limiting the ET channel, on the other hand, FeNP on the MQ-ADN complex (FeMQ-ADN) mostly favors a facile PET. We hypothesize that through selective interactions of the ADN molecules with AuNP and MQ molecules with FeNP, a preferential HAT and PET process is eased. The enhanced HAT and PET have been confirmed by the escape yields of radical intermediates by time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy in the presence of MF.

Abstract
It's a huge challenge to develop effective nanosystems that combine the capabilities of diagnoses and therapies together for colon cancer in the clinic. Herein, we constructed a far-red absorbing phototheranostic nanosystem (FR-H2S) based on the thiolytic reaction of a dinitrophenyl modified phototheranostic prodrug and over-expressed H2S in colon cancer sites for precise imaging-guided phototherapy. FR-H2S with a BODIPY core not only could work as an imaging probe for diagnosis but also act as a phototherapeutic agent for cancer treatment under a single FR laser source (650 nm). FR-H2S exhibited a gradually enhanced fluorescence emission for precise diagnosis of H2S-rich colon tumor sites. After entering tumor cells, FR-H2S could generate abundant 1O2 and heat for phototherapies timely by using the same laser source (650 nm). We believe that this precise imaging-guided phototheranostic nanosystem could provide a promising approach to colon cancer with minimal damage.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising technique for cancer therapy, providing good therapeutic efficacy with minimized side effect. However, the lack of oxygen supply in the hypoxic tumor site obviously restricts the generation of singlet oxygen (1 O2 ), thus limiting the efficacy of PDT. So far, the strategies to improve PDT efficacy usually rely on complicated nanosystems, which require sophisticated design or complex synthetic procedure. Herein, iodine-rich semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPN-I) for enhanced PDT, using iodine-induced intermolecular heavy-atom effect to elevate the 1 O2 generation, are designed and prepared. The nanoparticles are composed of a near-infrared (NIR) absorbing semiconducting polymer (PCPDTBT) serving as the photosensitizer and source of fluorescence signal, and an iodine-grafted amphiphilic diblock copolymer (PEG-PHEMA-I) serving as the 1 O2 generation enhancer and nanocarrier. Compared with SPN composed of PEG-b-PPG-b-PEG and PCPDTBT (SPN-P), SPN-I can enhance the 1 O2 generation by 1.5-fold. In addition, SPN-I have high X-ray attenuation coefficient because of the high density of iodine in PEG-PHEMA-I, providing SPN-I the ability of use with computed tomography (CT) and fluorescence dual-modal imaging. The study thus provides a simple nanotheranostic platform composed of two components for efficient CT/fluorescence dual-modal imaging-guided enhanced PDT.

PEG/PEI-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes as delivery carriers for doxorubicin: synthesis, characterization, and in vitro evaluation. BEILSTEIN JOURNAL OF NANOTECHNOLOGY 2020; 11:1728-1741.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have attracted great interest regarding drug-delivery applications. However, their application has been limited by some inherent disadvantages. In this study, raw SWCNTs were purified with different oxidizing acids, and the resulting shortened CNTs were conjugated with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and polyethylenimine (PEI). The different nanocarriers, that is, CNTs-COOH (CNTs), CNTs-PEG and CNTs-PEG-PEI, were systematically characterized and evaluated in terms of drug loading, in vitro release, cytotoxicity towards MCF-7 cells and cellular uptake. The results showed that all CNT carriers had a high drug loading capacity. In comparison with CNTs-COOH and CNTs-PEG, CNTs-PEG-PEI showed a more rapid drug release under acidic conditions and a higher antitumor activity. Furthermore, fluorescence detection and flow cytometry (FCM) analysis results indicated that the internalization into cells of CNTs-PEG-PEI was significantly enhanced, thus inducing tumor cell death through apoptosis more efficiently. The above series of benefits of CNTs-PEG-PEI may be attributed to their good dispersibility and comparably higher affinity to tumor cells due to the difunctionalization. In summary, the PEG- and PEI-conjugated CNTs may be used as novel nanocarriers and the findings will contribute to the rational design of multifunctional delivery vehicles for anticancer drugs.
