Abstract
Phototherapies are promising for noninvasive treatment of aggressive tumors, especially when combining heat induction and oxidative processes. Herein, we show enhanced phototoxicity of gold shell-isolated nanorods conjugated with toluidine blue-O (AuSHINRs@TBO) against human colorectal tumor cells (Caco-2) with synergic effects of photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic therapies (PDT). Mitochondrial metabolic activity tests (MTT) performed on Caco-2 cell cultures indicated a photothermal effect from AuSHINRs owing to enhanced light absorption from the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The phototoxicity against Caco-2 cells was further increased with AuSHINRs@TBO where oxidative processes, such as hydroperoxidation, were also present, leading to a cell viability reduction from 85.5 to 39.0%. The molecular-level mechanisms responsible for these effects were investigated on bioinspired tumor membranes using Langmuir monolayers of Caco-2 lipid extract. Polarization-modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) revealed that the AuSHINRs@TBO incorporation is due to attractive electrostatic interactions with negatively charged groups of the Caco-2 lipid extract, resulting in the expansion of surface pressure isotherms. Upon irradiation, Caco-2 lipid extract monolayers containing AuSHINRs@TBO (1:1 v/v) exhibited ca. 1.0% increase in surface area. This is attributed to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their interaction with Caco-2 lipid extract monolayers, leading to hydroperoxide formation. The oxidative effects are facilitated by AuSHINRs@TBO penetration into the polar groups of the extract, allowing oxidative reactions with carbon chain unsaturations. These mechanisms are consistent with findings from confocal fluorescence microscopy, where the Caco-2 plasma membrane was the primary site of the cell death induction process.

Photochemical outcomes triggered by gold shell-isolated nanorods on bioinspired nanoarchitectonics for bacterial membranes. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA. BIOMEMBRANES 2023; 1865:184216. [PMID: 37598878 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2023.184216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023]
Abstract
Boosted by the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, multidrug-resistance (MDR) demands new strategies to combat bacterial infections, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) based on plasmonic nanostructures. PTT efficiency relies on photoinduced damage caused to the bacterial machinery, for which nanostructure incorporation into the cell envelope is key. Herein, we shall unveil the binding and photochemical mechanisms of gold shell-isolated nanorods (AuSHINRs) on bioinspired bacterial membranes assembled as Langmuir and Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) monolayers of DOPE, Lysyl-PG, DOPG and CL. AuSHINRs incorporation expanded the isotherms, with stronger effect on the anionic DOPG and CL. Indeed, FTIR of LS films revealed more modifications for DOPG and CL owing to stronger attractive electrostatic interactions between anionic phosphates and the positively charged AuSHINRs, while electrostatic repulsions with the cationic ethanolamine (DOPE) and lysyl (Lysyl-PG) polar groups might have weakened their interactions with AuSHINRs. No statistical difference was observed in the surface area of irradiated DOPE and Lysyl-PG monolayers on AuSHINRs, which is evidence of the restricted nanostructures insertion. In contrast, irradiated DOPG monolayer on AuSHINRs decreased 4.0 % in surface area, while irradiated CL monolayer increased 3.7 %. Such results agree with oxidative reactions prompted by ROS generated by AuSHINRs photoactivation. The deepest AuSHINRs insertion into DOPG may have favored chain cleavage while hydroperoxidation is the mostly like outcome in CL, where AuSHINRs are surrounding the polar groups. Furthermore, preliminary experiments on Escherichia coli culture demonstrated that the electrostatic interactions with AuSHINRs do not inhibit bacterial growth, but the photoinduced effects are highly toxic, resulting in microbial inactivation.

Abstract
Solar-based interface evaporation (SIE) is a green, efficient and cost-effective technique to harvest fresh water. 3D solar evaporators show their unique advantages in gaining energy from environment and hence possess a higher evaporation rate than 2D evaporators. However, much effort is still required to develop mechanically robust and superhydrophilic 3D evaporators with strong water transportation capability and salt-rejection performance, and at the same time reveal how they gain energy from environment via the natural evaporation. In this work, a novel carbon nanofiber reinforced carbon aerogel (CNFA) is prepared for the SIE. The CNFA has a high light absorption up to 97.2% and outstanding photothermal conversion performance. The heteroatom doping and hierarchically porous structure endow the CNFA with superhydrophilicity and thus powerful water transportation capability and salt rejection performance. Benefiting from synergy of the SIE and side wall induced natural evaporation, the CNFA evaporator exhibits a high evaporation rate and efficiency (as high as 3.82 kg m-2h-1 and 95.5%, respectively) with long-term stability and durability. The CNFA can also work normally in high-salinity and corrosive seawater. This study demonstrates a new method to fabricate all-carbon aerogel solar evaporators and provides insights for the effective thermal management during the interface evaporation.

Abstract
Nanoparticles offer numerous advantages in various fields of science, particularly in medicine. Over recent years, the use of nanoparticles in disease diagnosis and treatments has increased dramatically by the development of stimuli-responsive nano-systems, which can respond to internal or external stimuli. In the last 10 years, many preclinical studies were performed on physically triggered nano-systems to develop and optimize stable, precise, and selective therapeutic or diagnostic agents. In this regard, the systems must meet the requirements of efficacy, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and safety before clinical investigation. Several undesired aspects need to be addressed to successfully translate these physical stimuli-responsive nano-systems, as biomaterials, into clinical practice. These have to be commonly taken into account when developing physically triggered systems; thus, also applicable for nano-systems based on nanomaterials. This review focuses on physically triggered nano-systems (PTNSs), with diagnostic or therapeutic and theranostic applications. Several types of physically triggered nano-systems based on polymeric micelles and hydrogels, mesoporous silica, and magnets are reviewed and discussed in various aspects.

Abstract
Integrated smart clothing with photothermal conversion and thermosensing functions is highly desired for next-generation smart wearable applications. Conducting polymer is a promising material that possesses efficient photothermal conversion performance, great sensitivity to temperature change, and excellent processing properties. In this study, we report a new wearable material using the conducting polymer polypyrrole (PPy) as a photothermal and thermosensing layer and nonwoven fabric as flexible textiles to fabricate integrated PPy-based smart clothing (IPSC). The surface temperature of the prepared IPSC can be as high as 68.4 °C with 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation at a power destiny of 1 kW/m2. Meanwhile, a temperature resolution of 1 °C can be achieved for IPSC. These superiorities are in favor of fabricating multifunctional smart wearables to satisfy the needs in future life.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is demonstrated to be an effective methodology for cancer treatment. However, the relatively low photothermal conversion efficiency, limited tumor accumulation, and penetration still remain to be challenging issues that hinder the clinical application of PTT. Herein, the core-shell hierarchical nanostructures induced by host-guest interaction between water-soluble pillar[5]arene (WP5) and polyethylene glycol-modified aniline tetramer (TAPEG) are constructed. The pH-responsive performance endows the core-shell nanostructures with size switchable property, with an average diameter of 200 nm in the neutral pH and 60 nm in the acidic microenvironment, which facilitates not only tumor accumulation but also tumor penetration. Moreover, the structure switch of WP5⊃TAPEG under acidic microenvironment and the dual mechanism regulated extending of п conjugate, inclusion in the hydrophobic cavity of WP5 and the dense distribution in the core-shell structured assemblies, dramatically enhance the absorption in the near-infrared-II region and, further, the photothermal conversion efficiency (60.2%). The as-designed intelligent nanoplatform is demonstrated for improved antitumor efficacy via PTT.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has become one of the most promising therapies in cancer treatment as its noninvasiveness, high selectivity, and favorable compliance in clinic. However, tumor thermotolerance and distal metastasis reduce its efficacy, becoming the bottleneck of applying PTT in clinic. In this study, a chidamide-loaded magnetic polypyrrole nanocomposite (CMPP) has been fabricated as a visualized cancer photothermal agent (PTA) to counter tumor thermotolerance and metastasis. The efficacy of CMPP was characterized by in vitro and in vivo assays. As a result, this kind of magnetic polypyrrole nanocomposites were black spherical nanoparticles, possessing a favorable photothermal effect and the suitable particle size of 176.97 ± 1.45 nm with a chidamide loading rate of 12.92 ± 0.45%. Besides, comparing with PTT, CMPP exhibited significantly higher cytotoxicity and cellular apoptosis rate in two tumor cell lines (B16-F10 and HepG2). In vivo study, the mice showed obvious near-infrared (NIR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dual-modal imaging at tumor sites and sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs); on the other hand, magnetic targeting guided CMPP achieved a cure level on melanoma-bearing mice through preventing metastasis and thermotolerance. Overall, with high loading efficiency of chidamide and strong magnetic targeting to tumor sites and SLNs, CMPP could significantly raise efficiency of PTT by targeting tumor thermotolerance and metastasis, and this strategy may be exploited therapeutically to upgrade PTT with MPP as one of appropriate carriers for histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis).

Abstract
Design and fabrication of novel multifunctional nanomaterials as novel “theranostic nanoagents”with high efficiency and low side effects is important for cancer treatment. Herein, we synthesized manganese-oxide and palladium nanoparticle-co-decorated polypyrrole/graphene oxide (MnO2@Pd@PPy/GO) nanocomposites, which could be used as a novel “theranostic nanoagent” for cancer treatment. Various spectroscopic and microscopic characterizations of the synthesized MnO2@Pd@PPy/GO nanocomposites suggest that the nanocomposites are assembled sequentially by graphene oxide, polypyrrole, palladium nanoparticles and manganese-oxide nanoplates. Further research revealed that the nanocomposites had excellent photothermal conversion performance (reached near 50 °C after 10 min of irradiation), pH responsive enzymatic-like catalytic activity and enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performance (r1 = 7.74 mM−1 s−1 at pH 5.0 and glutathione (GSH)). Cell experiments also testified that combined cancer treatment (the viability of cancer cells is 30%) with photothermal therapy (PTT, the viability of cancer cells is 91% only with irradiation) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT, the viability of cancer cells is 74.7% only with nanocomposites) guided by MRI was achieved when the as-prepared nanocomposites were employed as theranostic nanoagents. This work could provide some new ideas for the controllable synthesis and application of multicomponent nanomaterials. Manganese-oxide and palladium nanoparticle-co-decorated polypyrrole/graphene oxide (MnO2@Pd@PPy/GO) nanoenzyme composites were synthesized, and could be as a novel “theranostic nanoagent” for cancer treatment due to excellent performance.![]()

Abstract
Gold nanorods (GNRs) have a broad application prospect in biomedical fields because of their unique properties and controllable surface modification. The element aurum (Au) with high atomic number (high-Z) render GNRs ideal radiosensitive materials for radiation therapy and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Besides, GNRs have the capability of efficiently converting light energy to heat in the near-infrared (NIR) region for photothermal therapy. Although there are more and more researches on GNRs for radiation therapy, how to improve their biocompatibility and how to efficiently utilize them for radiation therapy should be further studied. This review will focuse on the research progress regarding the preparation and toxicity reduction of GNRs, as well as GNRs-mediated radiation therapy.

Abstract
Photoinduced hyperthermia with nanomaterials has been proven effective in photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumor tissues, but a precise control in PTT requires determination of the molecular-level mechanisms. In this paper, we determined the mechanisms responsible for the action of photoexcited gold shell-isolated nanoparticles (AuSHINs) in reducing the viability of MCF7 (glandular breast cancer) and especially A549 (lung adenocarcinoma) cells in vitro experiments, while the photoinduced damage to healthy cells was much smaller. The photoinduced effects were more significant than using other nanomaterials, and could be explained by the different effects from incorporating AuSHINs on Langmuir monolayers from lipid extracts of tumoral (MCF7 and A549) and healthy cells. The incorporation of AuSHINs caused similar expansion of the Langmuir monolayers, but Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) data of Langmuir-Schaefer films (LS) indicated distinct levels of penetration into the monolayers. AuSHINs penetrated deeper into the A549 extract monolayers, affecting the vibrational modes of polar groups and carbon chains, while in MCF7 monolayers penetration was limited to the surroundings of the polar groups. Even smaller insertion was observed for monolayers of the healthy cell extract. The photochemical reactions were modulated by AuSHINs penetration, since upon irradiation the surface area of A549 monolayer decreased owing to lipid chain cleavage by oxidative reactions. For MCF7 monolayers, hydroperoxidation under illumination led to a ca. 5% increase in surface area. The monolayers of healthy cell lipid extract were barely affected by irradiation, consistent with the lowest degree of AuSHINs insertion. In summary, efficient photothermal therapy may be devised by producing AuSHINs capable of penetrating the chain region of tumor cell membranes.

Abstract
Synergistic therapy has been emerging as new trend for effective tumor treatment due to synchronous function and cooperative reinforcement of multi therapeutic modalities. Herein, gold nanorods (GNRs) encapsulated into polypyrrole (PPy) shell with tunable void space (GNRs@Void@PPy) showing yolk@shell nanostructures were innovatively designed. The exploitation of dual near-infrared (NIR) absorptive species offered synergistic enhancement of photothermal performance. In addition, the manipulation of the void space between them provided additional benefits of high drug encapsulation efficiency (92.6%) and, interestingly, tumor microenvironment and NIR irradiation triggered targeted drug releasing. Moreover, the GNRs@Void@PPy exhibited excellent biocompatibility, and optimal curative effect by chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy was achieved through both in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity investigation.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape and adjustable plasmonic properties. With the continuous improvement in synthetic methods, a variety of materials have been attached around Au NRs to achieve unexpected or improved plasmonic properties and explore state-of-the-art technologies. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the latest progress on Au NRs, the most versatile anisotropic plasmonic NPs. We present a representative overview of the advances in the synthetic strategies and outline an extensive catalogue of Au-NR-based heterostructures with tailored architectures and special functionalities. The bottom-up assembly of Au NRs into preprogrammed metastructures is then discussed, as well as the design principles. We also provide a systematic elucidation of the different plasmonic properties associated with the Au-NR-based structures, followed by a discussion of the promising applications of Au NRs in various fields. We finally discuss the future research directions and challenges of Au NRs.

Abstract
Photoactivated therapeutic strategies (photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy), due to the adjusted therapeutic area, time and light dosage, have prevailed for the fight against tumors. Currently, the monotherapy with limited treatment effect and undesired side effects is gradually replaced by multimodal and multifunctional nanosystems. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with unique physicochemical advantages, such as huge specific surface area, controllable pore size and morphology, functionalized modification, satisfying biocompatibility and biodegradability, are considered as promising candidates for multimodal photoactivated cancer therapy. Excitingly, the innovative nanoplatforms based on the mesoporous silica nanoparticles provide more and more effective treatment strategies and display excellent antitumor potential. Given the rapid development of antitumor strategies based on MSNs, this review summarizes the current progress in MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy, mainly consists of (1) photothermal therapy-related theranostics; (2) photodynamic therapy-related theranostics; (3) multimodal synergistic therapy, such as chemo-photothermal-photodynamic therapy, phototherapy-immunotherapy and phototherapy-radio therapy. Based on the limited penetration of irradiation light in photoactivated therapy, the challenges faced by deep-seated tumor therapy are fully discussed, and future clinical translation of MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
Solar steam generation has been considered as one of the most promising strategies for production of fresh water using renewable solar energy. Herein, we prepared a polymer porous foam (HPSS) by a facile hydrothermal method. The HPSS presents a superhydrophilic wettability, an interpenetrating macroporous structure, and low thermal conductivity, which can well satisfy the criteria as an ideal candidate for photothermal materials. The HPSS/Fe3O4/PPy (polypyrrole) evaporator, of which a Fe3O4/PPy binary optical system served as a light absorption layer and HPSS was used as a porous substrate, was constructed through in situ growth of Fe3O4 particles followed by interfacial polymerization of PPy on the surface of HPSS. HPSS/Fe3O4/PPy shows an excellent light absorption capacity (92%) and photothermal conversion performance, with the solar energy conversion efficiency reaching up to 94.7% under 1 sun irradiation, which is much higher than that of HPSS/PPy (84.8%) composed of a unitary PPy light absorption layer. Interestingly, the presence of Fe3O4 particles could make directional migration in a magnetic field possible, thus facilitating its recovery as a self-floating solar generator in an open water area. Moreover, the HPSS/Fe3O4/PPy evaporator displays outstanding salt resistance properties and stability in various saline solutions, thus having great potential in practical desalination.

Abstract
Responsive hydrogels have found widespread applications in biomedical science and engineering fields, especially for drug delivery. Despite the superior performance of responsive hydrogels, challenges still exist in drug-delivery efficiency when environmental stimuli are weak. Recently, the demand in the design of hydrogel-based drug delivery systems has stimulated considerable interest in the search for new strategies, for instance, the application of nanocomposite hydrogels for reinforcing the versatility and flexibility in controlled drug delivery. In this study, a novel and effective nanocomposite hydrogel microcapsule drug delivery system, which is composed of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and alginate interpenetrating polymer and GO-Fe3O4 nanomaterials, is developed to achieve NIR light-, magneto-, and pH-responsive drug release. The GO-Fe3O4 nanomaterials embedded in the interpenetrating polymer enable the PNIPAM hydrogel deswelling by raising temperature above the lower critical solution temperature under NIR light and alternating magnetic field, thus accelerating the release of doxorubicin. In addition, the introduction of alginate into PNIPAM hydrogels endows nanocomposite hydrogels (NCHs) with quick gelation property, enhanced mechanical property, and pH-responsive performance. The in vitro cytotoxicity assay confirmed that the NCH platform can effectively kill the cancer cells. This novel multiresponsive drug delivery system holds great promise for the treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Nanomaterial mediated cancer/tumor photo driven hyperthermia has obtained great awareness. Nevertheless, it is a challenge for improving the hyperthermic efficacy lacking resistance to stimulated thermal stress. We thus developed a bioinspired nano-platform utilizing inclusion complexation between photosensitive polypyrrole (Ppy) nanoparticles (NP) and fucoidan (FU). This FU-Ppy NP proved to be an excellent P-selectin-mediated, lung cancer-cell/tumor targeting delivery and specific accumulation, could augment cancer/tumor oxidative stress levels through producing cellular reactive oxygen species. Potent ROS/photothermal combinational therapeutic effects were exhibited by the bioinspired FU-Ppy NP through a selective P-selectin cancer/tumor targeting aptitude for the lung cancer cells/tumor compared with other nano-formulations. The usage of FU-Ppy NP also involves the potential mechanism of suppressing the biological expression of tumor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This FU biological macromolecule-amplified photothermally therapeutic nano-platform has promising potential for future medical translation in eradicating numerous tumors.

Abstract
The encapsulation of lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) with an inert protective layer against moisture and the environment is a promising approach to overcome hinderances for their practical use in optoelectronic and biomedical applications. Herein, a facile method for synthesizing highly luminescent and biocompatible CsPbBr3@SiO2 core-shell PNCs with a controlled SiO2 thickness, which are suitable for both cell imaging and drug delivery, is reported. The synthesized CsPbBr3@SiO2 core-shell PNCs exhibit bright green emission at 518 nm upon excitation of 374 nm. Interestingly, a significant increase in the photoluminescence intensity is observed with an increase in the SiO2 shell thickness, which varies with the increasing reaction time. Cytotoxicity results indicate that the CsPbBr3@SiO2 core-shell PNCs are nontoxic, making them suitable for in vitro cell imaging using HeLa cells. Furthermore, doxorubicin physically adsorbed on the surface of CsPbBr3@SiO2 core-shell PNCs is efficiently released in cells when the drug-loaded perovskite nanoprobes are injected in the cells, indicating that these core-shell nanoparticles can be used for drug loading and delivery. The results of this study suggest that the CsPbBr3@SiO2 core-shell PNCs can pave the way for new biomedical applications and processes.

Abstract
The plasmonic photothermal properties of gold nanoparticles have been widely explored in the biomedical field to mediate a photothermal effect in response to the irradiation with an external light source. Particularly, in cancer therapy, the physicochemical properties of gold-based nanomaterials allow them to efficiently accumulate in the tumor tissue and then mediate the light-triggered thermal destruction of cancer cells with high spatial-temporal control. Nevertheless, the gold nanomaterials can be produced with different shapes, sizes, and organizations such as nanospheres, nanorods, nanocages, nanoshells, and nanoclusters. These gold nanostructures will present different plasmonic photothermal properties that can impact cancer thermal ablation. This review analyses the application of gold-based nanomaterials in cancer photothermal therapy, emphasizing the main parameters that affect its light-to-heat conversion efficiency and consequently the photothermal potential.

Abstract
The influence of the alkyl chain length of the ionic liquid surfactants 1-hexadecyl-3-alkyl imidazolium bromide [C16imCn]Br (n = 2-16) on their aggregation behavior with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in water was studied. The rheological properties, thermostability, and microstructure of the samples were characterized via a combination of rheology, cryo-transmission electron microscopy, polarization optical microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering. Upon the addition of SDS, the [C16imCn]Br (n = 2, 4, 6) rodlike micelles transit into the gels with high water content. The effects of molar ratio and alkyl chain length on the viscoelasticity and thermal stability of the SDS/[C16imCn]Br (n = 2, 4, 6) gels were studied. However, the [C16imCn]Br (n = 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) rodlike micelles precipitate with the addition of SDS. The [C16imCn]Br (n = 10, 12, 14, 16) gels transit to the rodlike micelles with the proper addition of SDS. The mechanism of the influence of the alkyl chain length of the [C16imCn]Br on their aggregation behavior with SDS was proposed.

Abstract
In recent years, it has been found that exosomes can be used as nanocarriers, which can be used in the treatment of tumors by carrying contents. The exosomes are derived from the secretion of the organism's own cells and are characterized by a phospholipid bilayer structure and a small particle size. These characteristics guarantee that the exosomes can carry a wide range of tumor drugs, deliver the drug to the cancer, and reduce or eliminate the tumor drug band. The toxic side effects were significantly eliminated; meanwhile, the therapeutic effects of the drug on the tumor were remarkably improved. This paper reviewed the strategies and drugs presented by different scholars for the treatment of tumors based on the drugs carried by exosomes.

Abstract
This work highlights a facile green route for the one-step synthesis of iron oxide core-double-shell nanoparticles (NPs) and aluminum phosphide (AlP) nanosheets by pulsed laser ablation of the mineral turquoise target from Nishapur in the presence of an ethanol solvent. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, selected-area electron diffraction pattern, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) in combination with energy-dispersive X-ray mapping revealed the formation of NPs with a typical core@double-shell structure in which crystalline α-Fe2O3 (iron oxide) formed the core, while SiO2 (quartz) and (K, H3O)Fe3(SO4)2(OH6) (jarosite) participated as the inner and outer shell, respectively. However, the application of laser ablation on the turquoise phase of the target led to the formation of AlP nanosheets which was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction patterns and FESEM images. Strong absorption of the vein-ablated species in the UV region (250-360 nm) was the characteristic feature of α-Fe2O3 and jarosite phases, while the absorption band at 250-300 nm for the turquoise-ablated species was related to the presence of Cu compound species and also the α-Fe2O3 phase in the sample. Photoluminescence emission spectra for the vein-ablated species depicted a peak centered at 370 nm, while a peak located at 364 nm was ascribed to the turquoise-ablated species. In particular, these hybrid NPs with high purity and stability may offer new opportunities for bio-applications such as anticancer agents and water/wastewater applications.

Abstract
The significance of protein coronas on the biological fates of nanoparticles has been widely recognized. Therefore, the alterations on biological effects caused by protein coronas need systemic study and interpretation to design novel safe and efficient nanomedicines. In the present study, we present a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the protein coronas on gold nanorods modified with various surface ligands of different chemical compositions and charges. The design of surface ligands is of utmost importance for the functionalization of nanoparticles, and further, the ligand-induced biological identity determines the fate of nanoparticles in the human body. We found that the surface chemistry influences the composition of the protein corona more profoundly than surface charge. Since the first and most important challenge for administrated nanomedicines is navigating the interaction with macrophages, we further investigated how the surface chemistry-induced specific protein corona affects the phagocytosis and immune responses of macrophages exposed to the corona-nanoparticle complexes. Our results reveal that the protein corona alters the internalization pathways of gold nanorods by macrophages via the interactions of the predominant coronal proteins with specific receptors on the cell membrane. The cytokine secretion profile of macrophages is also highly dependent on the adsorption pattern of the protein corona. The more abundant proteins involved in immune responses, such as acute phase, complement, and tissue leakage proteins, present in the acquired nanoparticle corona, the more macrophage interleukin-1β (IL-1β) released is stimulated. The ligand-protein corona composition-immune response coefficient analysis may serve next-generation nanomedicines with high efficiency and good safety for better clinical translation.

Abstract
Background It is important to explore effective treatment for liver cancer. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel technique to treat liver cancer, but its clinical application is obstructed by limited depth of visible light penetration into tissue. The near-infrared (NIR) photosensitizer is a potential solution to the limitations of PDT for deep tumor tissue treatment. Purpose We aimed to investigate 808 nm NIR light-excited UCNPs@mSiO2-Ce6-GPC3 nanocomposites for PDT in liver cancer. Methods In our study, 808 nm NIR light-excited upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were simultaneously loaded with the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and the antibody glypican-3 (GPC3), which is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. The multitasking UCNPs@mSiO2-Ce6-GPC3 nanoparticles under 808 nm laser irradiation with enhanced depth of penetration would enable the effective targeting of PDT. Results We found that the UCNPs@mSiO2-Ce6-GPC3 nanoparticles had good biocompatibility, low toxicity, excellent cell imaging in HepG2 cancer cells and high anti-tumor effect in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion We believe that the utilization of 808 nm NIR excited UCNPs@mSiO2-Ce6-GPC3 nanoparticles for PDT is a safe and potential therapeutic option for liver cancer.

Abstract
In the present study, poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PEG-b-PDEAEM) amphiphilic block copolymers were synthetized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using two different macro chain transfer agents containing PEG of 2000 and 5000 g/mol and varying the length of the PDEAEM segment. From the obtained block copolymers, polymersome type nanometric aggregates were obtained by two different techniques. By direct dispersion, particle diameters around 200 nm were obtained, while by solvent exchange using THF and water, the obtained diameters were around 100 nm. These block copolymers were used to encapsulate gold nanorods and doxorubicin (DOX) with good efficiencies to obtain nanomaterials with potential use as dual stimuli-sensitive drug delivery systems for combined anticancer therapies. Drug delivery studies showed that the release rate of DOX was accelerated when the pH was lowered from 7.4 to 5.8 and also when the systems were irradiated with a NIR laser at pH 7.4. The combination of lower pH and near infrared (NIR) irradiation resulted in higher drug release only in the case of polymersomes with lower molecular weight PEG.
