Wang J, Bai L, Huang T, Wang Y, Cheng Z, Liu Q, Su X, Zhao L, Lu F. A singlet oxygen-storing covalent organic framework for "Afterglow" photodynamic therapy. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 673:679-689. [PMID: 38901358 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.124] [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: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging treatment but often restricted by the availability of oxygen. Enhancing the lifespan of singlet oxygen (1O2) by fractionated generation is an effective approach to improve the efficacy of PDT. Herein, an imine-based nanoscale COF (TpDa-COF) has been synthesized and functionalized with a pyridone-derived structure (Py) to create a 1O2-storing nanoplatform TpDa-COF@Py, which can reversibly capture and release 1O2. Under 660 nm laser exposure, Py interacts with 1O2 produced by the porphyrin motif in COF backbones to generate 1O2-enriched COF (TpDa-COF@Py + hv), followed by the release of 1O2 through retro-Diels-Alder reactions at physiological temperatures. The continuous producing and releasing of 1O2 upon laser exposure leads to an "afterglow" effect and a prolonged 1O2 lifespan. In vitro cytotoxicity assays demonstrates that TpDa-COF@Py + hv exhibits an extremely low half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.54 µg/mL on 4T1 cells. Remarkably, the Py-mediated TpDa-COF@Py nanoplatform demonstrates enhanced cell-killing capability under laser exposure, attributed to the sustained 1O2 cycling, compared to TpDa-COF alone. Further in vivo assessment highlights the potential of TpDa-COF@Py + hv as a promising strategy to enhance phototheronostics and achieve effective tumor regression. Accordingly, the study supplies a generalized 1O2 "afterglow" nanoplatform to improve the effectiveness of PDT.

Abstract
Simultaneous profiling of redox-regulated markers at different cellular sublocations is of great significance for unraveling the upstream and downstream molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress in living cells. Herein, by synchronizing dual target-triggered DNA machineries in one nanoentity, we engineered a DNA walker-driven mass nanotag (MNT) assembly system (w-MNT-AS) that can be sequentially activated by oxidative stress-associated mucin 1 (MUC1) and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) from plasma membrane to cytoplasm and induce recycled assembly of MNTs for multiplex detection of the two markers by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). In the working cascade, the sensing process governs the separate activation of w-MNT-AS by MUC1 and APE1 in diverse locations, while the assembly process contributes to the parallel amplification of the ion signal of the characteristic mass tags. In this manner, the differences between MCF-7, HeLa, HepG2, and L02 cells in membrane MUC1 expression and cytoplasmic APE1 activation were fully characterized. Furthermore, the oxidative stress level and dynamics caused by exogenous H2O2, doxorubicin, and simvastatin were comprehensively demonstrated by tracking the fate of the two markers across different cellular locations. The proposed w-MNT-AS coupled MS method provides an effective route to probe multiple functional molecules that lie at different locations while participating in the same cellular event, facilitating the mechanistic studies on cellular response to oxidative stress and other disease-related cellular processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Theranostic nanoplatforms with integrated diagnostic imaging and multiple therapeutic functions play a vital role in precise diagnosis and efficient treatment for breast cancer, but unfortunately, these nanoplatforms are usually stuck in single-site imaging and single mode of treatment, causing unsatisfactory diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency. Herein, a dual biomarkers-activatable facile hollow mesoporous MnO2 (H-MnO2)-based theranostic nanoplatform, DNAzyme@H-MnO2-MUC1 aptamer (DHMM), was constructed for the simultaneous multi-site diagnosis and multiple treatment of breast cancer. RESULTS The DHMM acted as an integrated diagnostic and therapeutic nanoplatform that realizes multi-site fluorescence imaging-guided high-efficient photothermal/chemodynamic/gene synergistic therapy (PTT/CDT/GT) for breast cancer. The H-MnO2 exhibits high loading capacity for Cy5-MUC1 aptamer (3.05 pmoL μg-1) and FAM-DNAzyme (3.37 pmoL μg-1), and excellent quenching for the probes. In the presence of MUC1 on the cell membrane and GSH in the cytoplasm, Cy5-MUC1 aptamer and FAM-DNAzyme was activated triggering dual-channel fluorescence imaging at different sites. Moreover, the self-supplied Mn2+ was further supplied as DNAzyme cofactors to catalytic cleavage intracellular EGR-1 mRNA for high-efficient GT and stimulated the Fenton-like reaction for CDT. The H-MnO2 also showcases a favorable photothermal performance with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 44.16%, which ultimately contributes to multi-site fluorescence imaging-guided synergistic treatment with an apoptosis rate of 71.82%. SIGNIFICANCE This dual biomarker-activatable multiple therapeutic nanoplatform was realized multi-site fluorescence imaging-guided PTT/CDT/GT combination therapy for breast cancer with higher specificity and efficiency, which provides a promising theranostic nanoplatform for the precision and efficiency of breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Cancer is a highly fatal disease which is close relative of miRNA aberrant expression and apoptosis disorders. Elucidation of the therapeutic efficacy through investigating the changes in miRNA and apoptosis holds immense importance in advancing the development of miRNA-based precision therapy. However, it remains a challenge as how to visually evaluate the efficacy during protocol optimization of miRNA-based anticancer drugs at the cellular level. Therefore, exploring effective and noninvasive methods for real-time monitoring of therapeutic efficacy in living cells is of great significance. RESULTS Herein, we reported a novel fluorescent nanoprobe COF-H1/H2-Peptide for visually evaluating drug efficacy in living cells through amplified imaging of low-abundant miRNA-221 with catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) circle amplification, as well as simultaneous caspase-3 imaging. With strong stability and good biocompatibility, this newly fabricated amplified nanoprobe showed high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of miRNA-221 and caspase-3, and the limit of detection (LOD) of miRNA-221 was as low as 2.79 pM. The fluorescent imaging results showed that this amplified nanoprobe could not only detect caspase-3 in living cells, but also effectively detect low levels of miRNA-221 with increasing anticancer drug concentration and treatment time. The smart nanoprobe had effective performance for optimizing miRNA-based drug treatment schedules by dual-color fluorescence imaging. SIGNIFICANCE This nanoprobe combined CHA amplified detection of intracellular miRNA-221 and synchronous apoptosis imaging, with excellent sensitivity for the detection of cellular low-level miRNA, enabling the realization of real-time assessment of the efficacy of miRNA-based therapy in living cells. This work presents a promising approach for revealing the regulatory mechanisms between miRNAs and apoptosis in cancer occurrence, development, and treatment.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a new and developing class of porous framework materials, are considered a type of promising carrier for the integration and delivery of bioactives, which have diverse fascinating merits, such as a large specific surface area, designable and specific porosity, stable and orderly framework structure, and various active sites. However, owing to the significant differences among bioactives (including drugs, proteins, nucleic acid, and exosomes), such as size, structure, and physicochemical properties, the interaction between COFs and bioactives also varies. In this review, we firstly summarize three strategies for the construction of single or hybrid COF-based matrices for the delivery of cargos, including encapsulation, covalent binding, and coordination bonding. Besides, their smart response release behaviors are also categorized. Subsequently, the applications of cargo@COF biocomposites in biomedicine are comprehensively summarized, including tumor therapy, central nervous system (CNS) modulation, biomarker analysis, bioimaging, and anti-bacterial therapy. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in this field are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Biomolecules are essential in pharmaceuticals, biocatalysts, biomaterials, etc., but unfortunately they are extremely susceptible to extraneous conditions. When biomolecules meet porous organic frameworks, significantly improved thermal, chemical, and mechanical stabilities are not only acquired for raw biomolecules, but also molecule sieving, substrate enrichment, chirality property, and other functionalities are additionally introduced for application expansions. In addition, the intriguing synergistic effect stemming from elaborate and concerted interactions between biomolecules and frameworks can further enhance application performances. In this paper, the synthesis strategies of the so-called bio-organic frameworks (BOFs) in recent years are systematically reviewed and classified. Additionally, their broad applications in biomedicine, catalysis, separation, sensing, and imaging are introduced and discussed. Before ending, the current challenges and prospects in the future for this infancy-stage but significant research field are also provided. We hope that this review will offer a concise but comprehensive vision of designing and constructing multifunctional BOF materials as well as their full explorations in various fields.

Abstract
An advanced nanoplatform was developed by integrating catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) with glutathione-responsive nanocarriers, enabling superior imaging of dual cancer-related miRNAs. Two distinct CHA circuits for the sensing of miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 were functionalized on biodegraded MnO2. In the presence of GSH and the corresponding miRNAs, the degraded MnO2 released the DNA cargos, activating the CHA circuits and recovering the fluorescence. This approach offers a reliable sensing performance with highly selective cell-identification capacity, positioning it as a pivotal tool for imaging multiple biomarkers in living cells.

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1287:342061. [PMID: 38182368 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342061] [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: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have found promising applications in separation fields due to their large surface area and high adsorption capacity, but the exiting COFs can not be directly used as the packing materials of on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled to HPLC and HPLC because their nano/submicron size or irregular shapes might cause ultrahigh column back pressure and low column efficiency. To synthesize the large-size spherical COFs larger than 3 μm as sorbents might be able to address these problems, however it is still a great challenge till now. RESULTS In this work, two large-size spherical 3D COFs (COF-320 and COF-300) were size-controllably synthesized within 10-90 μm via a two-step strategy. These two spherical COFs showed large surface area, fine crystallinity, good chemical/mechanical stability, and good reproducibility. As an application case, when used as the on-line SPE sorbents coupled to HPLC, the large-size spherical COF-320 displayed high binding capacity for bisphenol F (Qmax of 452.49 mg/g), low column back pressure (6-8 psi at flow rate of 1 mL/min), and good reusability (at least 30 cycles). The developed on-line-SPE-HPLC-UV method presented good analytical performance with enrichment factor of 667 folds, linear range of 1.0-400 ng/mL, limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) of 0.3 ng/mL, limit of quantification (LOQ, S/N = 10) of 1.0 ng/mL, and recoveries of 100.3-103.2 % (RSDs of 2.0-3.5 %) and 95.2-97.0 % (RSDs of 4.3-5.6 %) for tap water and lake water samples, respectively. SIGNIFICANCE This is the first case to synthesize the large-size spherical COFs within 10-90 μm, and this work made it possible to directly use COFs as the filling materials of on-line SPE coupled to HPLC and HPLC. The developed analytical method can be potentially applied to the rapid and sensitive detection of trace bisphenol F in environmental water samples.

Abstract
The separation and analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in liquid biopsy significantly facilitated clinical cancer diagnosis and personalized therapy. However, current methods face challenges in simultaneous efficient capturing, separation, and imaging of CTCs, and most of the devices cannot be reused/regenerated. We present here an innovative glowing octopus-inspired nanomachine (GOIN), capable of capturing, imaging, separating, and controlling the release of cancer cells from whole blood and normal cells. The GOIN comprises an aptamer-decorated magnetic fluorescent covalent organic framework (COF), which exhibits a strong affinity for nucleolin-overexpressed cancer cells through a multivalent binding effect. The captured cancer cells can be directly imaged using the intrinsic stable fluorescence of the COF layer in the GOIN. Employing magnet and NIR laser assistance enables easy separation and mild photothermal release of CTCs from the normal cells and the nanomachine without compromising cell viability. Moreover, the GOIN demonstrates a reusing capability, as the NIR-triggered CTC release is mild and nondestructive, allowing the GOIN to be reused at least three times.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a promising class of adsorption and separation materials that can meet the needs of ecological sustainability, such as the removal of carbon dioxide and organic dyes. The two synthesized (3,3)-connected triazine-based COFs demonstrate high specific surface area and good thermal and chemical stability. COFZ1 shows good CO2 adsorption selectivities for different CO2 and N2 volume percentage systems at 273 K and 1 bar, with an ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) CO2 selectivity (i.e., separation factor) of 35.09 for the simulated flue gas component and a CO2 adsorption capacity of 24.21 cm3 g-1. In the aqueous dye solutions, both COFs present good adsorption performance for the selected dyes, and the maximum adsorption capacities of COFZ1 for methylene blue (MB) and gentian violet (GV) reach 510 and 564 mg g-1, respectively. Each of the two COFs shows a high anti-interference performance and excellent recyclability. The adsorption capacities of two COFs for RhB (Rhodamine B), MB, and GV hardly vary with pH values and salt concentrations. The adsorption behaviors of the two COFs for dyes follow Langmuir isothermal adsorption and quasi-secondary kinetic adsorption, approaching monolayer adsorption and chemisorption.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important biomarkers in biomedicine and bioimaging due to their roles in various physiological and pathological processes. Real-time and in situ monitoring of dynamic fluctuation of miRNAs in living cells is crucial for understanding these processes. However, current miRNA imaging probes still have some limitations, including the lack of effective amplification methods for low abundance miRNAs bioanalysis and uncontrollable activation, leading to background signals and potential false-positive results. Therefore, researchers have been integrating activatable devices with miRNA amplification techniques to design stimuli-responsive nanoprobes for "on-demand" and precise imaging of miRNAs in living cells. In this review, we summarize recent advances of stimuli-responsive probes for the amplification-based imaging of miRNAs in living cells and discuss the future challenges and opportunities in this field, aiming to provide valuable insights for accurate disease diagnosis and monitoring.

Abstract
Nucleic acid plays a crucial role in countless biological processes. Hence, there is great interest in its detection and analysis in various fields from chemistry, biology, to medicine. Nanoporous crystalline materials exhibit enormous potential as an effective platform for nucleic acid recognition and application. These materials have highly ordered and uniform pore structures, as well as adjustable surface chemistry and pore size, making them good carriers for nucleic acid extraction, detection, and delivery. In this review, the latest developments in nanoporous crystalline materials, including metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) for nucleic acid recognition and applications are discussed. Different strategies for functionalizing these materials are explored to specifically identify nucleic acid targets. Their applications in selective separation and detection of nucleic acids are highlighted. They can also be used as DNA/RNA sensors, gene delivery agents, host DNAzymes, and in DNA-based computing. Other applications include catalysis, data storage, and biomimetics. The development of novel nanoporous crystalline materials with enhanced biocompatibility has opened up new avenues in the fields of nucleic acid analysis and therapy, paving the way for the development of sensitive, selective, and cost-effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools with widespread applications.

Abstract
The abnormal change in the expression profile of multiple cancer biomarkers is closely related to tumor progression and therapeutic effect. Due to their low abundance in living cells and the limitations of existing imaging techniques, simultaneous imaging of multiple cancer biomarkers has remained a significant challenge. Here, we proposed a multi-modal imaging strategy to detect the correlated expression of multiple cancer biomarkers, MUC1, microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) and reactive oxygen (ROS) in living cells, based on a porous covalent organic framework (COF) wrapped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) core-shell nanoprobe. The nanoprobe is functionalized with Cy5-labeled MUC1 aptamer, a ROS-responsive molecule (2-MHQ), and a miRNA-21-response hairpin DNA tagged by FITC as the reporters for different biomarkers. The target-specific recognition can induce the orthogonal molecular change of these reporters, producing fluorescence and Raman signals for imaging the expression profiles of membrane MUC1 (red fluorescence channel), intracellular miRNA-21 (green fluorescence channel), and intracellular ROS (SERS channel). We further demonstrate the capability of the cooperative expression of these biomarkers, along with the activation of NF-κB pathway. Our research provides a robust platform for imaging multiple cancer biomarkers, with broad potential applications in cancer clinical diagnosis and drug discovery.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a promising platform for nanomedicine, while developing multifunctional COF nanoplatforms remains challenging due to the lack of efficient strategies for COF modification. Herein, we propose a nanozyme bridging (NZB) strategy for COF functionalization. Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) as catalase mimics were in situ grown on the surface of COF NPs without reducing their drug loading capacity (CP), and thiol-terminated aptamer was further densely decorated onto CP NPs via a stable Pt-S bond (CPA). Pt nanozyme engineering and aptamer functionalization rendered the nanoplatform with excellent photothermal conversion, tumor targeting, and catalase-like catalytic performances. Using clinical-approved photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) as a model drug, we fabricated a nanosystem (ICPA) for tumor-targeted self-strengthening therapy. ICPA can effectively accumulate into tumor tissue and relieve the hypoxia microenvironment by decomposing the overexpressed H2O2 and generating O2. Under monowavelength NIR light irradiation, the catalase-like catalytic and singlet oxygen generation activities of ICPA can be significantly strengthened, leading to admirable photocatalytic treatment effects against malignant cells as well as tumor-bearing mice in a self-strengthening manner.

Abstract
Cancer remains one of the most pressing diseases in the world. Traditional treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy still show certain limitations. Recently, numerous cancer treatments have been proposed in combination with novel materials, such as photothermal therapy, chemodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, and a combination of therapeutic approaches. These new methods have shown significant advantages in reducing side effects and synergistically enhancing anti-cancer efficacy. In addition to the above approaches, early diagnosis and in situ monitoring of lesion areas are also important for reducing side effects and improving the success rate of cancer therapy. This depends on the decent use of bioimaging technology. In this review, we mainly summarize the recent advances in porous framework materials for bioimaging and cancer therapy. In addition, we present future challenges relating to bioimaging and cancer therapy based on porous framework materials.

In this work, we prepared various MOF@COF composites with different COF layer thicknesses, in which stable UiO-66-NH2 served as the inner substrate and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxaldehyde (BT), and 3,3'-dihydroxybenzidine (DH) were used to construct a COF layer. In addition to the conventional preparation method, we increased the ratio of BT and DH to be 1:2.5, and impressively, the morphologies of acquired UC (1:2.5) materials were quite different from the previous reticular structure and gradually extended from the spherical structure to the prickly structure with the increase of COF monomers. Remarkably, all of the UC materials possessed better luminescence properties than individual COF due to the limited COF layers. Meanwhile, UC-1 materials with an optimal COF layer displayed the strongest emission. In comparison with a single COF, the quantum yields of UC-1 and UC-1 (1:2.5) were increased nearly 7 times and 5 times, respectively. Moreover, the fluorescence of UC-1 materials was progressively enhanced via selective F- sensing. This work is expected to shed light on the potential hybridization of MOF-COF with structural adjustment, morphological design, and luminescence enhancement.

Abstract
Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated gene silencing is a promising therapeutic approach. Herein, we report the ambient synthesis of a positively charged iminium-linked covalent organic framework by a three-component one-pot reaction. Through anion exchange and siRNA adsorption, the resulting multifunctional siRNA@ABMBP-COF, which possesses both the HK2 inhibitor 3-bromopyruvate and SLC7A11 siRNA, exhibits powerful synergistic antitumor activity against fibrosarcoma via the ferroptosis and apoptosis pathways.

Abstract
The accurate and sensitive detection of survivin mRNA is of great significance for cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, limited by the low-abundance mRNA in live cells, most strategies of survivin mRNA detection that were one-to-one signal-triggered model (one target triggered one signal) were inapplicable in practice. Here, we reported a binding-induced DNAzyme motor triggered by the survivin mRNA, which was a one-to-more signal-triggered model (one target triggered more signals), amplifying the detection signal and enhancing the sensitivity. The nanomotor is constructed by assembling several DNAzyme motor strands silenced by the blocker strands, and dozens of FAM-labeled substrate strands on a single gold nanoparticle (AuNP), forming three-dimensional DNA tracks. Through building the survivin mRNA bridge between the blocker and the DNAzyme motor strand, the binding-induced DNA nanomotor could be triggered by survivin mRNA. The operation of the DNAzyme motor was self-powered. And each walking step of the DNAzyme motor was fueled by DNAzyme-catalyzed substrate cleavage, along with the cleavage of the fluorescent molecule, resulting in autonomous and progressive walking along the AuNP-based tracks, and the fluorescence increase. The DNAzyme motor exhibited excellent sensitivity and remarkable specificity for survivin mRNA, providing the potential for cell image.

Abstract
Recent interest in research on photoluminescent molecules due to their unique properties has played an important role in advancing the bioimaging field. In particular, small molecules and organic dots as probes have great potential for the achievement of bioimaging because of their desirable properties. In this review, we provide an introduction of probes consisting of fluorescent small molecules and polymers that emit light across the ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelength ranges, along with a brief summary of the most recent techniques for bioimaging. Since photoluminescence probes emitting light in different ranges have different goals and targets, their respective strategies also differ. Diverse and novel strategies using photoluminescence probes against targets have gradually been introduced in the related literature. Among recent papers (published within the last 5 years) on the topic, we here concentrate on the photophysical properties and strategies for the design of molecular probes, with key examples of in vivo photoluminescence research for practical applications. More in-depth studies on these probes will provide key insights into how to control the molecular structure and size/shape of organic probes for expanded bioimaging research and applications.

Abstract
We report here a catalytically active nano covalent organic framework [COF(Fe)] with high drug loading capacity for reversing tumor multidrug resistance (MDR). The Fe catalytic sites in COF(Fe) could convert intracellular overexpressed H2O2 into highly reactive ˙OH to induce oxidation stress and down-regulate MDR protein. Therefore, COF(Fe) could enhance the intracellular drug accumulation to overcome MDR, which was demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo.
