Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become an important therapeutic strategy because it is highly controllable, effective, and does not cause drug resistance. Moreover, precise delivery of photosensitizers to tumor lesions can greatly reduce the amount of drug administered and optimize therapeutic outcomes. As alternatives to protein antibodies, peptides have been applied as useful targeting ligands for targeted biomedical imaging, drug delivery and PDT. In addition, other functionalities of peptides such as stimuli responsiveness, self-assembly, and therapeutic activity can be integrated with photosensitizers to yield versatile peptide-based nanosystems for PDT. In this article, we start with a brief introduction to PDT and peptide-based nanosystems, followed by more detailed descriptions about the structure, property, and architecture of peptides as background information. Finally, the most recent advances in peptide-based nanosystems for PDT are emphasized and summarized according to the functionalities of peptide in the system to reveal the design and development principle in different therapeutic circumstances. We hope this review could provide useful insights and valuable reference for the development of peptide-based nanosystems for PDT.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:244. [PMID: 38334515 PMCID: PMC10856890 DOI: 10.3390/nano14030244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
A nanozyme is a nanoscale material having enzyme-like properties. It exhibits several superior properties, including low preparation cost, robust catalytic activity, and long-term storage at ambient temperatures. Moreover, high stability enables repetitive use in multiple catalytic reactions. Hence, it is considered a potential replacement for natural enzymes. Enormous research interest in nanozymes in the past two decades has made it imperative to look for better enzyme-mimicking materials for biomedical applications. Given this, research on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a potential nanozyme material has gained momentum. MOFs are advanced hybrid materials made of inorganic metal ions and organic ligands. Their distinct composition, adaptable pore size, structural diversity, and ease in the tunability of physicochemical properties enable MOFs to mimic enzyme-like activities and act as promising nanozyme candidates. This review aims to discuss recent advances in the development of MOF-based nanozymes (MOF-NZs) and highlight their applications in the field of biomedicine. Firstly, different enzyme-mimetic activities exhibited by MOFs are discussed, and insights are given into various strategies to achieve them. Modification and functionalization strategies are deliberated to obtain MOF-NZs with enhanced catalytic activity. Subsequently, applications of MOF-NZs in the biosensing and therapeutics domain are discussed. Finally, the review is concluded by giving insights into the challenges encountered with MOF-NZs and possible directions to overcome them in the future. With this review, we aim to encourage consolidated efforts across enzyme engineering, nanotechnology, materials science, and biomedicine disciplines to inspire exciting innovations in this emerging yet promising field.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in interest surrounding nanozymes due to their ability to imitate the functions and address the limitations of natural enzymes. The scientific community has been greatly intrigued by the study of nanoceria, primarily because of their distinctive physicochemical characteristics, which include a variety of enzyme-like activities, affordability, exceptional stability, and the ability to easily modify their surfaces. Consequently, nanoceria have found extensive use in various biosensing applications. However, the impact of its redox activity on the enzymatic catalytic mechanism remains a subject of debate, as conflicting findings in the literature have presented both pro-oxidant and antioxidant effects. Herein, we creatively propose a seesaw model to clarify the regulatory mechanism on redox balance and survey possible mechanisms of multienzyme mimetic properties of nanoceria. In addition, this review aims to showcase the latest advancements in this field by systematically discussing over 180 research articles elucidating the significance of ceria-based nanozymes in enhancing, downsizing, and enhancing the efficacy of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. These advancements align with the ASSURED criteria established by the World Health Organization (WHO). Furthermore, this review also examines potential constraints in order to offer readers a concise overview of the emerging role of nanoceria in the advancement of POC diagnostic systems for future biosensing applications.

Abstract
Nanoceria or cerium oxide nanoparticles characterised by the co-existing of Ce3+ and Ce4+ that allows self-regenerative, redox-responsive dual-catalytic activities, have attracted interest as an innovative approach to treating cancer. Depending on surface characteristics and immediate environment, nanoceria exerts either anti- or pro-oxidative effects which regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in biological systems. Nanoceria mimics ROS-related enzymes that protect normal cells at physiological pH from oxidative stress and induce ROS production in the slightly acidic tumour microenvironment to trigger cancer cell death. Nanoceria as nanozymes also generates molecular oxygen that relieves tumour hypoxia, leading to tumour cell sensitisation to improve therapeutic outcomes of photodynamic (PDT), photothermal (PTT) and radiation (RT), targeted and chemotherapies. Nanoceria has been engineered as a nanocarrier to improve drug delivery or in combination with other drugs to produce synergistic anti-cancer effects. Despite reported preclinical successes, there are still knowledge gaps arising from the inadequate number of studies reporting findings based on physiologically relevant disease models that accurately represent the complexities of cancer. This review discusses the dual-catalytic activities of nanoceria responding to pH and oxygen tension gradient in tumour microenvironment, highlights the recent nanoceria-based platforms reported to be feasible direct and indirect anti-cancer agents with protective effects on healthy tissues, and finally addresses the challenges in clinical translation of nanoceria based therapeutics.

Abstract
The emergence of X-ray-induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) holds tremendous promise for clinical deep-penetrating cancer therapy. However, the clinical application of X-PDT in cancer treatment is still limited due to the hypoxic property of cancerous tissue, the inherent antioxidant system of tumor cells, and the difficulty in matching the absorption spectra of photosensitizers. Herein, a versatile core-shell radiosensitizer (SCNPs@DMSN@CeOx-PEG, denoted as SSCP) was elaborately designed and constructed to enhance X-PDT by coating tunable mesoporous silica on nanoscintillators, followed by embedding the cerium oxide nanoparticles in situ. The obtained SSCP radiosensitizer demonstrated a distinct blue-shift in the ultraviolet light region, so that it could perfectly absorb the ultraviolet light converted by the SCNPs core, resulting in the formation of photoinduced electron-hole (e--h+) pairs separation to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, the cerium oxide exhibits high glutathione consumption to heighten ROS accumulation, and catalase-like activity to alleviate the hypoxia, which further enhances the efficiency of radiotherapy. Benefiting from the abundant Lu and Ce elements, the computed tomography imaging performance of SSCP is about 3.79-fold that of the clinical contrast agent (iohexol), which has great potential in both preclinical imaging and clinical translation.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a highly selective, widely applicable, and non-invasive therapeutic modality that is an alternative to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, is extensively applied to cancer therapy. Practically, the efficiency of PDT is severely hindered by the existence of hypoxia in tumor tissue. Hypoxia is a typical hallmark of malignant solid tumors, which remains an essential impediment to many current treatments, thereby leading to poor clinical prognosis after therapy. To address this issue, studies have been focused on modulating tumor hypoxia to augment the therapeutic efficacy. Although nanomaterials to relieve tumor hypoxia for enhanced PDT have been demonstrated in many research articles, a systematical summary of the role of nanomaterials in alleviating tumor hypoxia is scarce. In this review, we introduced the mechanism of PDT, and the involved therapeutic modality of PDT for ablation of tumor cells was specifically summarized. Moreover, current advances in nanomaterials-mediated tumor oxygenation via oxygen-carrying or oxygen-generation tactics to alleviate tumor hypoxia are emphasized. Based on these considerable summaries and analyses, we proposed some feasible perspectives on nanoparticle-based tumor oxygenation to ameliorate the therapeutic outcomes, which may provide some detailed information in designing new oxygenation nanomaterials in this burgeneous field.

Hollow Mesoporous CeO2-Based Nanoenzymes Fabrication for Effective Synergistic Eradication of Malignant Breast Cancer via Photothermal–Chemodynamic Therapy. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14081717.

Abstract
CeO2-based nanoenzymes present a very promising paradigm in cancerous therapy, as H2O2 can be effectively decomposed under the electron transmit between Ce3+ and Ce4+. However, the limitations of endogenous H2O2 and intracellular low Fenton-like reaction rate lead to single unsatisfied chemodynamic therapy (CDT) efficacy. Other therapeutic modalities combined with chemodynamic therapy are generally used to enhance the tumor eradiation efficacy. Here, we have synthesized a novel hollow pH-sensitive CeO2 nanoenzyme after a cavity is loaded with indocyanine green (ICG), as well as with surface modification of tumor targeting peptides, Arg-Gly-Asp (denoted as HCeO2@ICG-RGD), to successfully target tumor cells via αvβ3 recognition. Importantly, in comparison with single chemodynamic therapy, a large amount of reactive oxygen species in cytoplasm were induced by enhanced chemodynamic therapy with photothermal therapy (PTT). Furthermore, tumor cells were efficiently killed by a combination of photothermal and chemodynamic therapy, revealing that synergistic therapy was successfully constructed. This is mainly due to the precise delivery of ICG and release after HCeO2 decomposition in cytoplasm, in which effective hyperthermia generation was found under 808 nm laser irradiation. Meanwhile, our HCeO2@ICG-RGD can act as a fluorescent imaging contrast agent for an evaluation of tumor tissue targeting capability in vivo. Finally, we found that almost all tumors in HCeO2@ICG-RGD+laser groups were completely eradicated in breast cancer bearing mice, further proving the effective synergistic effect in vivo. Therefore, our novel CeO2-based PTT agents provide a proof-of-concept argumentation of tumor-precise multi-mode therapies in preclinical applications.

Abstract
Introduction: White spot lesions around orthodontic brackets may lead to the formation of dental caries during and following fixed orthodontic treatment.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the physico-mechanical properties and antimicrobial potencies of orthodontic adhesive doped with cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2-NPs) against Streptococcus mutans.
Materials and methods: After synthesis and conformation of CeO2-NPs by transmission electron microscope (TEM), shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) of modified orthodontic adhesive containing different concentrations of CeO2-NPs (0, 1, 2, 5, and 10 wt%) were measured. The antimicrobial effects of modified orthodontic adhesive were evaluated by disk agar diffusion method and biofilm formation inhibition assay.
Results: The pseudo-spherical shapes of CeO2-NPs were observed in TEM micrographs. The physico-mechanical finding showed that 5 wt% CeO2-NPs showed the highest concentration of CeO2-NPs and SBS value (18.21±9.06 MPa, p<0.05) simultaneously with no significant differences in ARI compared with the control group (p>0.05). There was a significant reduction in cell viability of S. mutans with increasing CeO2-NPs concentration. The 3.1 Log10 and 4.6 Log10 reductions were observed in the count of treated S. mutans with 5 and 10 wt% CeO2-NPs, respectively (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Overall, an orthodontic adhesive containing 5 wt% CeO2-NPs had antimicrobial properties against S. mutans without adverse effects on SBS and ARI.

Abstract
Polymer photosensitizers (PPSs) with the distinctive properties of good light-harvesting capability, high photostability, and excellent tumor retention effects have aroused great research interest in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, their potential translation into clinic was often constrained by the hypoxic nature of tumor microenvironment, the aggregation-caused reduced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the tedious procedure of manufacture. As a powerful and versatile strategy, vacancy engineering possesses the unique capability to effectively improve the photogenerated electron efficiency of nanomaterials for high-performance O2 and ROS production. Herein, by introducing vacancy engineering into the design of PPSs for PDT for the first time, we synthesized a novel PPS of Au-decorated polythionine (PTh) nanoconstructs (PTh@Au NCs) with the unique integrated features of distinguished O2 self-evolving function and highly efficient ROS generation for achieving the greatly enhanced PDT efficacy toward hypoxic tumor both in vitro and in vivo. The incorporation of Au into PTh leads to the special PTh-Au heterostructure-induced sulfur vacancies in PTh@Au NCs, which results in an efficient electron-hole separation performance and also plays a key role in a long lifetime of free electrons and holes. Accordingly, an ∼2- to 3-fold ROS generation and an ∼1.5-fold increase of O2 self-supply than the pure PTh nanoparticles (NPs) were obtained even under hypoxic conditions upon exposure to 650 nm light. By combining such superior ROS generation and O2 self-supply performances with the outstanding cellular internalization and tumor accumulation capacities, an advanced antitumor effect with the achievement of almost complete hypoxic tumor elimination in vivo or 88% cell destruction in vitro was acquired by the PTh@Au NCs. In addition, the distinctive facile one-step redox strategy for PTh@Au NCs synthesis compared to the reported PPSs for PDT also makes it beneficial for potential practical application. The first introduction of vacancy engineering concept into PPSs in the field of PDT proposed in this work offers a new strategy for the development and design highly efficient PPSs for PDT applications.

Abstract
Introduction: The treatment of tumors is one of the most difficult problems in the medical field at present. Patients often use a comprehensive therapy that combines surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has prominent potential for eradicating various cancers. Chlorin-based photosensitizers (PSs), as one of the most utilized photosensitizers, have many advantages over conventional photosensitizers; however, a successful chlorin-based PDT needs multi-functional nano-carriers for selective photosensitizer delivery. The number of researches about nanoparticles designed for improved chlorin-based PSs is increasing in the current era. In this article, we give a brief review focused on the recent research progress in design of chlorin-based nanoparticles for the treatment of malignant tumors with photodynamic therapy.Areas covered: This review focuses on the current nanoparticle platforms for PDT, and describes different strategies to achieve controllable PDT by chlorin-nano-delivery systems. The challenges and prospects of PDT in clinical applications are also discussed.Expert opinions: The requirement for PDT to eradicate cancers has increased exponentially in recent years. The major clinically used photosensitizers are hydrophobic. The main obstacles in effective delivery of PSs are associated with this intrinsic nature. The design of nano-delivery systems to load PSs is pivotal for PSs' widespread use.

Abstract
An O2 self-evolving core-shell theranostic nanohybrid was developed by encapsulating a nanoenzyme cerium oxide (CeOx) in a metal-organic framework (MOF). The hybrid reveals a 9-fold higher apoptotic percentage than bare CeOx in a harsh hypoxic microenvironment through tandem homogenous catalysis. Simultaneously, the oxygen-promoted therapeutic efficiency was self-monitored by the hybrid with caspase-3 activation, paving the way for MOF-functionalized nanoenzymes in theranostics.

Abstract
Micro/nanomotors bring new possibilities for the detection and therapy of diseases related to the blood environment with their unique motion effect. This work reviews the research progress of using micro/nanomotors in the detection and therapy of diseases related to the blood environment. First, we outline the advantages of using micro/nanomotors in blood-related disease detection. To be specific, the motion capability of micro/nanomotors can increase plasma or blood fluid convection and accelerate the interaction between the sample and the capture probe. This allows the effective reduction of the amount of reagents and treatment steps. Therefore, the application of micro/nanomotors significantly improves the analytical performance. Second, we discuss the key challenges and future prospects of micro/nanomotors in the treatment of blood-environment related diseases. It is very important to design a unique treatment plan according to the etiology and specific microenvironment of the disease. The next generation of micro/nanomotors is expected to bring exciting progress to the detection and therapy of blood-environment related diseases.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapies (PTTs) are both promising strategies for effective tumor therapy. However, the absence of O2 at tumor sites hinders the sustained response of photosensitizers. Here, we develop a recycled cerium oxide (CeO2) catalase nanozyme-loaded hyaluronic acid nanovesicle to address the hypoxic tumor microenvironments and targeted delivery of the photosensitizers [indocyanine green (ICG)] to tumors. A polysaccharide complex effectively modifies the surface of a polyethylenimine phenylboronic acid nanostructure to achieve the CeO2 nanozyme-loading nanovesicles that exhibit both tumor-targeted enhancement and an improved hypoxic microenvironment. Also, the hydrogen peroxide responsiveness and acid-sensitive cleavage of phenylboronic acid specifically disintegrate the ICG/nanozyme coloaded nanovesicles in the tumor microenvironment. The in vitro synergistic tests and tumor suppression rate tests indicated that the cerium oxide nanozyme significantly improves the outcomes of PDT via cerium-element valence state recycling and hypoxia improvement, thus enhancing the tumor suppression efficiency. This pH/H2O2-responsive nanozyme/ICG codelivery system provides a good carrier model for improving the tumor microenvironment and increasing the efficiency of tumor-targeted PTT and PDT therapies.

Abstract
Cancer is a major disease burden worldwide. In recent years, in addition to surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are recognized as the most effective methods for treating solid tumors. These methods have been introduced to treat tumors of different origins and stages clinically. However, due to insufficient blood flow and oxygen (O2) supply in solid tumors, hypoxia is caused, leading to decreased sensitivity of tumor cells and poor therapeutic effects. In addition, hypoxia will also lead to resistance to most anticancer drugs, accelerate malignant progress, and increase metastasis. In solid tumors, adequate O2 supply and adequate delivery of anticancer drugs are essential to improve radiotherapy and chemotherapy sensitivity. In recent decades, the researches on relieving tumor hypoxia have attracted researchers' extensive attention and achieved good results. However, as far as we know, there is no detailed review of the researches on alleviating tumor hypoxia. Therefore, in this contribution, we hope to give an overview of the researches on methods to improve tumor hypoxia environment and summarize their effect and application in tumor therapy, to provide a methodological reference for the research and development of new antitumor agents.

Abstract
Lanthanide-containing functional complexes have found a variety of applications in materials science and biomedicine because of their unique electroptical and magnetic properties. However, the poor stability and solubility in water of multicomponent lanthanide organic assemblies significantly limit their practical applications. We report here a series of water-stable anionic Ln2nL3n-type (n = 2, 3, 4, and 5) lanthanide organic polyhedra (LOPs) constructed by deprotonation self-assembly of three fully conjugated ligands (H4L1 and H4L2a/b) featuring a 2,6-pyridine bitetrazolate chelating moiety. The outcomes of the LOPs formation reactions were found to be very sensitive toward the reaction conditions including base, metal source, solvents, and concentrations as characterized by a combination of NMR, high-resolution ESI-MS and X-ray crystallography. Ligands H4L2a/b manifested an excellent sensitization toward lanthanide ions (Ln = EuIII and TbIII), with high luminescent quantum yields for Tb8L2a12 (Φ = 11.2% in water) and Eu8L2b12 (Φ = 76.8% in DMSO) measured in polar solvents. Furthermore, due to the giant molecular weight and rigidity of the polyhedral skeleton, Gd8L2b12 showed a very high longitudinal relaxivity (r1) of 400.53 mM-1S-1. The performance of Gd8L2b12 as potential magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents (CAs) in vivo was evaluated with much longer retention time in the tumor sites compared with the commercial GdIII-based CAs. Dual-modal imaging potential has also been demonstrated with the mixed Eu/Gd LOPs. Our results not only provide a new design route toward water-stable multinuclear lanthanide organic assemblies but also offer potential candidates of supramolecular-edifices for bioimaging and drug delivery.

Abstract
Lanthanides have demonstrated outstanding properties in many fields of research including biology and medicinal chemistry. Their unique luminescence and magnetic properties make them the metals of choice for next generation theranostics that efficiently combine the two central pillars of medicine - diagnostics and therapy. Attached to targeting units, lanthanide complexes pave the way for real-time imaging of drug uptake and distribution as well as specific regulation of subcellular processes with few side effects. This enables individualized treatment options for severe diseases characterized by altered cell expression. The highly diverse results achieved as well as insights into the challenges that research in this area has to face in the upcoming years will be summarized in the present review.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as one of the noninvasive clinical cancer phototherapies, suffers from the key drawback associated with hypoxia at the tumor microenvironment (TME), which plays an important role in protecting tumor cells from damage caused by common treatments. High concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one of the hallmarks of TME, has been recognized as a double-edged sword, posing both challenges, and opportunities for cancer therapy. The promising perspectives, strategies, and approaches for enhanced tumor therapies, including PDT, have been developed based on the fast advances in H2O2-enabled theranostic nanomedicine. In this review, we outline the latest advances in H2O2-responsive materials, including organic and inorganic materials for enhanced PDT. Finally, the challenges and opportunities for further research on H2O2-responsive anticancer agents are envisioned .
