Chem Sci 2024; 15:7757-7766. [PMID: 38784735 PMCID: PMC11110147 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc00874j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Photosensitizers typically rely on a singular photochemical reaction to generate reactive oxygen species, which can then inhibit or eradicate lesions. However, photosensitizers often exhibit limited therapeutic efficiency due to their reliance on a single photochemical effect. Herein, we propose a new strategy that integrates the photochemical effect (type-I photochemical effect) with a biological effect (proton sponge effect). To test our strategy, we designed a series of photosensitizers (ZZ-sers) based on the naphthalimide molecule. ZZ-sers incorporate both a p-toluenesulfonyl moiety and weakly basic groups to activate the proton sponge effect while simultaneously strengthening the type-I photochemical effect, resulting in enhanced apoptosis and programmed cell death. Experiments confirmed near-complete eradication of the tumour burden after 14 days (Wlight/Wcontrol ≈ 0.18, W represents the tumour weight). These findings support the notion that the coupling of a type-I photochemical effect with a proton sponge effect can enhance the tumour inhibition by ZZ-sers, even if the basic molecular backbones of the photosensitizers exhibit nearly zero or minimal tumour inhibition ability. We anticipate that this strategy can be generalized to develop additional new photosensitizers with improved therapeutic efficacy while overcoming limitations associated with systems relying solely on single photochemical effects.

Abstract
Although peroxynitrite (ONOO-) plays an essential role in cellular redox homeostasis, its excess ONOO- will affect the normal physiological function of cells. Therefore, real-time monitoring of changes in local ONOO- will contribute to further revealing the biological functions. Reliable and accurate detection of biogenic ONOO- will definitely benefit for disentangling its complex functions in living systems. In the past few years, more fluorescent probes have been developed to help understand and reveal cellular ONOO- changes. However, there has been no comprehensive and critical review of multifunctional fluorescent probes for cellular ONOO- and other analytes. To highlight the recent advances, this review first summarized the recent progress of multifunctional fluorescent probes since 2018, focusing on molecular structures, response mechanisms, optical properties, and biological imaging in the detection and imaging of cellular ONOO- and analytes. We classified and discussed in detail the limitations of existing multifunctional probes, and proposed new ideas to overcome these limitations. Finally, the challenges and future development trends of ONOO- fluorescence probes were discussed. We hoped this review will provide new research directions for developing of multifunctional fluorescent probes and contribute to the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Escherichia coli (E. coli) was used for cancer therapy due to the tumor-targeting, catalytic, and surface-reducing properties. Effective diagnosis combined with treatment of cancer based on E. coli, however, was rarely demonstrated. In this study, E. coli was used to surface reduce HAuCl4 and as a carrier to modify riboflavin (Rf) and luminol (E-Au@Rf@Lum). After targeted delivery to tumor, the E-Au@Rf@Lum probe could actively emit 425 nm blue-violet chemiluminescence (CL) to achieve cell imaging for cancer diagnosis. Furthermore, this light could in situ trigger the photosensitizer (Rf) through CL resonance energy transfer, which produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) for accurate photodynamic therapy. In return, the excessive ROS enhanced the blue-violet light which was further absorbed by Rf, and ROS production was cyclically amplified. Abundant ROS broke down the dense extracellular matrix network and penetrated deep into tumors. Besides, E. coli with excellent catalytic property could decompose H2O2 to O2 to relieve tumor hypoxia for a long time and enhance the photosensitized process of Rf. By self-illumination, effective penetration, and tumor hypoxia relief, this work opens a self-amplified therapy modality to tumor.

Abstract
Constructive achievements in the field of nanobiotechnology and their translation into clinical course have led to increasing attention towards evaluation of their use for treatment of diseases, especially cancer. Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the primary bone malignancies that affects both males and females in childhood and adolescence. Like other types of cancers, genetic and epigenetic mutations account for OS progression and several conventional therapies including chemotherapy and surgery are employed. However, survival rate of OS patients remains low and new therapies in this field are limited. The purpose of the current review is to provide a summary of nanostructures used in OS treatment. Drug and gene delivery by nanoplatforms have resulted in an accumulation of therapeutic agents for tumor cell suppression. Furthermore, co-delivery of genes and drugs by nanostructures are utilized in OS suppression to boost immunotherapy. Since tumor cells have distinct features such as acidic pH, stimuli-responsive nanoparticles have been developed to appropriately target OS. Besides, nanoplatforms can be used for biosensing and providing phototherapy to suppress OS. Furthermore, surface modification of nanoparticles with ligands can increase their specificity and selectivity towards OS cells. Clinical translation of current findings suggests that nanoplatforms have been effective in retarding tumor growth and improving survival of OS patients.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells and modulate the essential metabolic functions required for cellular survival. Various mitochondrial pathways, such as oxidative phosphorylation or production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are dysregulated during cancer growth and development, rendering them attractive targets against cancer. Thus, the delivery of antitumor agents to mitochondria has emerged as a potential approach for treating cancer. Recent advances in nanotechnology have provided innovative solutions for overcoming the physical barriers posed by the structure of mitochondrial organelles, and have enabled the development of efficient mitochondrial nanoplatforms. In this review, we examine the importance of mitochondria during neoplastic development, explore the most recent smart designs of nano-based systems aimed at targeting mitochondria, and highlight key mitochondrial pathways in cancer cells.

Abstract
Multimodal collaborative therapy has been recognized as one of the more effective means to eliminate tumors in the current biomedicine research field as compared with monotherapy. Among them, by taking advantage of its high-precision and controllability, phototherapy has become a mainstay of treatment. However, physical encapsulation of free photosensitive units within nanocarriers was one of the main implementations, which might inevitably result in the photosensitizer leakage and side effect. For this purpose, a kind of multifunctional integrated polyprodrug amphiphiles, P(PFO-IG-CPT)-PEG, were prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization from polymerizable pentadecafluorooctan monomers, indocyanine green monomers, reduction-responsive camptothecin monomers, and acid-responsive PEG based methacrylate monomers (GMA(-OH/-PEG)). The resultant copolymers could self-assemble into spherical nanoparticles in water, performing size-deformability in acidic conditions and subsequent disintegration in reduction environment as demonstrated by in vitro experiments. Furthermore, an enhanced CPT release ratio and rate from nanoparticles could be achieved by a NIR irradiation due to the hyperthermia induced by the covalently linked IG moieties. Not only that, because of the sufficient O2 content brought by PFO, the NIR light-triggered generation of 1O2 was also detected in cells. With the combination of CPT-guided chemotherapy as well as NIR light-guided photo-thermal and photodynamic therapies, fatal and irreversible damage to cancer cells was observed by cell experiments; the implanted tumor size in the mouse model was obviously shrunk upon receiving multimodal collaborative therapy. We speculate that such fabricated nanodiagnosis and treatment systems could meet the growing emergency for effective drug delivery, programmed and on-demand drug release, and multimodal integrated therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, the development and application of integrated probes for theranostics have attracted more and more attention. However, few biological probes can meet the needs of in vivo and in vitro long-term near-infrared imaging and photodynamic therapy, especially with a certain subcellular organelle targeting ability. Here, 2-chlorophenothiazine as a pharmacophore is linked to the mitochondrial targeting group pyridine cation through an alkyl chain, which is further linked to triphenylamine-based aggregation-induced emission groups to obtain two aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens). Only the presence or absence of thiophene causes two AIEgens to exhibit different structure-oriented characteristics. Although they are different with respec to mitochondrial targeting, cellular imaging, and cytotoxicity, they all have excellent in vivo and in vitro long-term near-infrared imaging and photodynamic therapy capabilities.
