Abstract
Multifunctional magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles with magnetic hyperthermia and photothermal therapy could kill cancer cells efficiently. Herein, carbon-encapsulated Au/Fe3O4 (Au/Fe3O4@C) was fabricated using an enclosed flame spray pyrolysis. The nanostructures, including an Fe3O4 core (51.9-55.2 nm) with a decreasing carbon shell thickness and an Au core (4.68-8.75 nm) coated with 2-4 graphite layers, were tailored by tuning the C2H4 content in the reacting gas mixture. Saturation magnetization (33.7-48.2 emu/g) and optical absorption were determined. The carbon shell facilitated the dispersion of Au/Fe3O4 and restrained their laser-induced and magnetic field-induced coalescence and growth. Au/Fe3O4@C exhibited excellent magnetic resonance imaging capability (91.4 mM-1 s-1) and photothermal performance (65.4°C for 0.8 mg/mL Au/Fe3O4@C at a power density of 1.0 W/cm2 after 300 s near-IR laser irradiation (808 nm)). Moreover, the combined application of photothermal and magnetic-heating properties reduced the required intensity of both laser and magnetic field compared to the intensity of separate situations. Our work provides a unique, intriguing approach to preparing multicomponent core/shell nanoaggregates that are promising candidates for esophageal cancer cell therapy.

Abstract
Developing effective nanomedicines to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for efficient glioma theranostics is still considered to be a challenging task. Here, we describe the development of macrophage membrane (MM)-coated nanoclusters (NCs) of ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles (USIO NPs) with dual pH- and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsivenesses for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and chemotherapy/chemodynamic therapy (CDT) of orthotopic glioma. Surface citrate-stabilized USIO NPs were solvothermally synthesized, sequentially modified with ethylenediamine and phenylboronic acid, and cross-linked with gossypol to form gossypol-USIO NCs (G-USIO NCs), which were further coated with MMs. The prepared MM-coated G-USIO NCs (G-USIO@MM NCs) with a mean size of 99.9 nm display tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive gossypol and Fe release to promote intracellular ROS production and glutathione consumption. With the MM-mediated BBB crossing and glioma targeting, the G-USIO@MM NCs can specifically inhibit orthotopic glioma in vivo through the gossypol-mediated chemotherapy and Fe-mediated CDT. Meanwhile, USIO NPs can be dissociated from the NCs under the TME, thus allowing for effective T1-weighted glioma MR imaging. The developed G-USIO@MM NCs with simple components and drug as a crosslinker are promising for glioma theranostics, and may be extended to tackle other cancer types.

J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:123.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy of bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) semiconductor has been severely restricted by its electron-hole pairs (e--h+) separation inefficiency and oxygen (O2) deficiency in tumors, which greatly hinders reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and further clinical application of Bi2S3 nanoparticles (NPs) in biomedicine. RESULTS Herein, novel Bi2S3/titanium carbide (Ti3C2) two-dimensional nano-heterostructures (NHs) are designed to realize multimode PDT of synchronous O2 self-supply and ROS generation combined with highly efficient photothermal tumor elimination for hypoxic tumor therapy. Bi2S3/Ti3C2 NHs were synthesized via the in situ synthesis method starting from Ti3C2 nanosheets (NSs), a classical type of MXene nanostructure. Compared to simple Bi2S3 NPs, Bi2S3/Ti3C2 NHs significantly extend the absorption to the near-infrared (NIR) region and enhance the photocatalytic activity owing to the improved photogenerated carrier separation, where the hole on the valence band (VB) of Bi2S3 can react with water to supply O2 for the electron on the Ti3C2 NSs to generate ·O2- and ·OH through electron transfer. Furthermore, they also achieve 1O2 generation through energy transfer due to O2 self-supply. After the modification of triphenylphosphium bromide (TPP) on Bi2S3/Ti3C2 NHs, systematic in vitro and in vivo evaluations were conducted, revealing that the synergistic-therapeutic outcome of this nanoplatform enables complete eradication of the U251 tumors without recurrence by NIR laser irradiation, and it can be used for computed tomography (CT) imaging because of the strong X-ray attenuation ability. CONCLUSION This work expands the phototherapeutic effect of Bi2S3-based nanoplatforms, providing a new strategy for hypoxic tumor theranostics.

Abstract
The combination of chemodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy has a promising application owing to its impressive anti-cancer effects. However, the degradability of the material and the lack of targeting severely limit its further clinical application. Herein, DNAs containing nucleolin aptamer (AS1411) and different bases sequences were used to functionalize PB NPs for the targeted treatment. Compared to prussian blue, DNA-functionalized prussian blue does not reduce the photothermal properties of prussian blue. Moreover, DNA confers DNA-functionalized prussian blue targeting and higher enzymatic activity, thereby achieving a more effective combination of chemodynamic and photothermal treatment. The therapeutic efficacy of this nanoplatform was evaluated in vivo and in vitro experiments, exhibiting that DNA-functionalized prussian blue nanozyme can maximize the precise control of the therapeutic effect, reduce the toxic and side effects caused by non-specific accumulation on other normal cells, and effectively achieve targeted killing of cancer cells. This work demonstrates that DNA-functionalized prussian blue can improve the efficiency of combined tumor treatment and enhance the application value of prussian blue in tumor treatment, which is expected to provide theoretical support for clinical application.

Abstract
Traditional therapies have poor accuracy and significant toxic side effects in the process of tumor treatment. The non-traditional treatment methods with high accuracy and efficacy are worth exploring and investigating. Herein, a strategy that enables precise and synergistic therapies of calcium-overload, photodynamic, and photothermal through facile near infrared (NIR) irradiation was carried out base on the injectable and self-healable hydrogel encapsulating indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded and bovine serum albumin (BSA)-modified calcium peroxide (CaO2) nanoparticles (ICG@CaO2-BSA NPs) and bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanorods. The hydrogel fabricated through the dynamic Schiff-base bonds between hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCS) and aldehyde-modified Pluronic F127 (F127-CHO) as the delivery substrate for functional substances could adhere and grip tumor tissues due to the adhesion of hydroxyl groups in HPCS and the hydrophobic aggregation caused by thermoresponsiveness of F127-CHO. CaO2 in ICG@CaO2-BSA NPs decomposed in the tumor micro-acidic environment to produce calcium ions (Ca2+) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), while ICG generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) under NIR irradiation, the photothermal effect of Bi2S3 nanorods and ICG under NIR irradiation could increase the temperature of tumor tissues and ultimately achieve precise tumor cell destruction. Therefore, this strategy will provide promising prospects for precise and efficient treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has garnered significant interest as an innovative approach for cancer treatment, owing to its notable tumor specificity and selectivity, minimal systemic toxicity and side effects, and absence of the requirement for field stimulation during treatment. This treatment utilizes nanocatalytic medicines containing transitional metals to release metal ions within tumor cells, subsequently initiating Fenton and Fenton-like reactions. These reactions convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into hydroxyl radical (•OH) specifically within the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby inducing apoptosis in tumor cells. However, insufficient endogenous H2O2, the overexpressed reducing substances in the TME, and the weak acidity of solid tumors limit the performance of CDT and restrict its application in vivo. Therefore, a variety of nanozymes and strategies have been designed and developed in order to potentiate CDT against tumors, including the application of various nanozymes and different strategies to remodel TME for enhanced CDT (e.g., increasing the H2O2 level in situ, depleting reductive substances, and lowering the pH value). This review presents an overview of the design and development of various nanocatalysts and the corresponding strategies employed to enhance catalytic drug targeting in recent years. Additionally, it delves into the prospects and obstacles that lie ahead for the future advancement of CDT.

Abstract
The extensive utilization of iron oxide nanoparticles in medical and life science domains has led to a substantial rise in both occupational and public exposure to these particles. The potential toxicity of nanoparticles to living organisms, their impact on the environment, and the associated risks to human health have garnered significant attention and come to be a prominent area in contemporary research. The comprehension of the potential toxicity of nanoparticles has emerged as a crucial concern to safeguard human health and facilitate the secure advancement of nanotechnology. As nanocarriers and targeting agents, the biocompatibility of them determines the use scope and application prospects, meanwhile surface modification becomes an important measure to improve the biocompatibility. Three different types of iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4, Fe3O4@PDA and MSCM-Fe3O4@PDA) were injected into mice through the tail veins. The acute neurotoxicity of them in mice was evaluated by measuring the levels of autophagy and apoptosis in the brain tissues. Our data revealed that iron oxide nanoparticles could cause nervous system damage by regulating the ASK1/JNK signaling pathway. Apoptosis and autophagy may play potential roles in this process. Exposure to combined surface functionalization of mesenchymal stem cell membrane and polydopamine showed the neuroprotective effect and may alleviate brain nervous system disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the most mainstream cancer therapeutic modalities. However, due to the lack of specificity of the radiation adopted, both normal and cancerous cells are destroyed indiscriminately. This highlights the crucial need to improve radiosensitization. This study aims to address this issue by constructing a multifunctional nanospheres that can sensitize multiple aspects of radiotherapy. RESULTS Nanospheres containing high atomic element Bi can effectively absorb ionizing radiation and can be used as radiosensitizers. Cell viability after Bi2S3 + X-ray treatment was half that of X-ray treatment alone. On the other hand, exposed 3-bromopyruvate (3BP) could reduce the overactive oxygen (O2) metabolism of tumor cells and alleviate tumor hypoxia, thereby promoting radiation-induced DNA damage. The combination index (CI) of 3BP and Bi2S3-based RT in Bi2S3-3BP + X-ray was determined to be 0.46 with the fraction affected (fa) was 0.5 via Chou-Talalay's isobolographic method, which indicated synergistic effect of 3BP and Bi2S3-based RT after integration into Bi2S3-3BP + X-ray. Under the combined effect of 3BP and RT, autophagy was over-activated through starvation-induced and redox homeostasis dysregulation pathways, which in turn exhibited pro-death effects. In addition, the prepared nanospheres possess strong X-ray attenuation and high near-infrared (NIR) optical absorption, thus eliminating the need for additional functional components and could serve as bimodal contrast agents for computed tomography/photoacoustic (CT/PA) imaging. CONCLUSIONS The rational design of multifunctional nanospheres with the unique properties provided a novel strategy to achieving high therapeutic efficacy in RT. This was accomplished through simultaneous activation of multiple sensitization pathways by increasing ionizing radiation, reducing tumor oxygen consumption, inducing pro-death autophagy, and providing multiple-imaging guidance/monitoring.

Abstract
To achieve the maximum therapeutic effects and minimize adverse effects of trimodal synergistic tumor therapies, a cost-effective programmed photothermal (PTT)-chemodynamic (CDT)-coordinated dual drug chemotherapy (CT) trimodal synergistic therapy strategy in chronological order is proposed. According to the status or volumes of the tumors, the intensity and time of each therapeutic modality are optimized, and three modalities are combined programmatically and work in chronological order. The optimal synergistic therapy begins with high-intensity PTT for 10 min to ablate larger tumors, followed by medium-intensity CDT for several hours to eliminate medium-sized tumors, and then low-intensity coordinated dual drugs CT lasts over 48 h to clear smaller residual tumors. Composite nanoparticles, made of Fe-coordinated polydopamine mixed with copper peroxide as the cores and their surface dotted with lots of doxorubicin-Fe(III)-gossypol infinite coordination polymers (ICPs), have been developed to implement the strategy. These composite nanoparticles show excellent synergistic effects with the minimum dose of therapeutic agents and result in nearly 100% tumor inhibition for mice bearing PC-3 tumors and no observed recurrence within 60 days of treatment. The ratios of the different therapeutic agents in the composite nanoparticles can be adjusted to accommodate different types of tumors with this cost-effective programmed trimodal therapy strategy.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) holds great promise for cancer treatment with its effective ablation of solid tumors. As the essential core point, photothermal agents (PTAs) with excellent photothermal properties and good biocompatibility could help to fulfill highly efficient PTT. Herein, a novel type of nanoplatform Fe3O4@PDA/ICG (FPI) nanoparticle (NP) was designed and synthesized, which was composed of magnetic Fe3O4 and near-infrared excitable indocyanine green via encapsulation of polydopamine. The FPI NPs showed spherical structures in shape with uniform distribution and good chemical stability. Under 793 nm laser irradiation, FPI NPs could generate hyperthermia of 54.1 °C and photothermal conversion efficiency of 35.21%. The low cytotoxicity of FPI NPs was further evaluated and confirmed on HeLa cells with a high survival rate (90%). Moreover, under laser irradiation (793 nm), FPI NPs showed effective photothermal therapeutic characteristics for HeLa cells. Therefore, FPI NPs, as one of the promising PTAs, have great potential in the field of PTT for tumor treatment.

A novel photoelectrochemical sensor based on flower-like SnS 2, sea urchin-like AgBiS 2 and graphene oxide nanocomposite film for efficient and sensitive detection of acetaminophen in lake water samples. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1239:340681. [PMID: 36628707 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2022.340681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
As an emerging detection technology, photoelectrochemical sensors have been widely noticed for their unique technical features. Among others, the technology has been widely used in the fields of drug, biological antibody or antigen and contaminant detection. Secondly, acetaminophen, as a novel environmental pollutant, is difficult to be degraded in the ecosystem, which in turn causes serious impacts on the ecosystem. Therefore, in this work, we designed a photoelectrochemical sensor based on a composite film of flower-like SnS2, sea urchin-like AgBiS2 and graphene oxide for the detection of acetaminophen in water samples. Among them, graphene oxide, as a two-dimensional carbon-based material, can immobilize other photoelectric materials well. In addition, the flower-like SnS2 and sea urchin-like AgBiS2 can enhance the intensity of the photoelectric response due to their synergistic effect. Notably, the combination of graphene oxide with SnS2 and AgBiS2 revealed an exponential increase in the photoresponse intensity, indicating that SnS2/AgBiS2/GO has a satisfactory photoresponse intensity. At the same time, the photoelectrochemical sensor exhibited sensitive detection performance (LOD = 4 nM) and a wide detection range (0.01-50 μM) for acetaminophen under optimal detection conditions. Moreover, it also showed excellent detection performance in the detection of actual water samples, indicating that it can be applied to the detection of acetaminophen in lakes.

Abstract
Due to the abuse of antibiotics, the sensitivity of patients to antibiotics is gradually reduced. This work develops a Fe3O4@SiO2@Au/PDA nanochain which shows an interesting magnetic-field-induced improvement of its photothermal antibacterial property. First, SiO2 was wrapped on Fe3O4 nanospheres assembled in a chain to form a Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocomposite with a chain-like nanostructure. Then, the magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2@Au/PDA nanochains were prepared using in situ redox-oxidization polymerization. Under the irradiation of an 808 nm NIR laser, the temperature rise of the Fe3O4@SiO2@Au/PDA nanochain dispersion was obvious, indicating that they possessed a good photothermal effect. Originating from the Fe3O4, the Fe3O4@SiO2@Au/PDA nanochain showed a typical soft magnetic behavior. Both the NIR and magnetic field affected the antimicrobial performance of the Fe3O4@SiO2@Au/PDA nanochains. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were used as models to verify the antibacterial properties. The experimental results showed that the Fe3O4@SiO2@Au/PDA nanochains exhibited good antibacterial properties under photothermal conditions. After applying a magnetic field, the bactericidal effect was further significantly enhanced. The above results show that the material has a broad application prospect in inhibiting the growth of bacteria.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can efficiently kill cancer cells by producing hydroxyl radical (•OH), a kind of high-toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), via Fenton or Fenton-like reactions. This study involved a versatile nanomedicine, MSN@DOX/GA-Fe/PDA (M@DGP), delivered via microneedles, which was expected to combine chemodynamic/photothermal/chemotherapy and efficiently increase ROS accumulation to achieve significant therapeutic efficacy against melanoma. EXPERIMENTS The composition of the synthesized nanoparticles was confirmed by a series of characterizations including transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and zeta potential. The photothermal properties of the nanomedicine was evaluated via infrared imaging, and •OH-producing ability was evaluated by UV-Vis and electron spin resonance. The mechanisms of ROS accumulation were studied in B16 cells by detecting intracellular •OH, glutathione, and ROS levels. The drug-loaded microneedles (M@DGP-MNs) were prepared, and their morphology and mechanical strength were characterized. The in vivo antimelanoma effect and biosafety evaluation of the nanomedicine were investigated in tumor-bearing C57 mice. FINDINGS M@DGP was successfully prepared and could achieve ROS accumulation through a photothermal-enhanced Fenton reaction, polydopamine-induced glutathione consumption, and doxorubicin-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction which induced oxidative stress and apoptosis of tumor cells. M@DGP-MNs showed superior antitumor efficacy and good biosafety, providing a promising strategy for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major obstacle to effective cancer treatment. Therefore, developing effective approaches for overcoming the limitation of MDR in cancer therapy is very essential. Chemotherapy combined with photothermal therapy (PTT) is a potential therapeutic option against MDR. Herein, we developed a subcellular-targeted near-infrared (NIR)-responsive nanomedicine (Fe3O4@PDA-TPP/S2-PEG-hyd-DOX, abbreviated as Fe3O4-ATSPD) as a new photothermal agent with improved photothermal stability and efficiency. This system demonstrates high stability in blood circulation and can be accumulated at the tumor site by magnetic targeting enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR). Near-infrared (NIR) irradiation at the tumor site generates a photothermal effect from the photosensitizer Fe3O4@PDA, leading to a dramatic decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. Simultaneously, the conjugated drugs released under low pH condition in endosomes or lysosomes cause nucleus DNA damage and cell apoptosis. This subcellular-targeted NIR-responsive nanomedicine with efficient integration of diagnosis and therapy could significantly enhance MDR cancer treatment by combination of chemotherapy and PTT.

Abstract
The complex physiological environment and inherent self-healing function of tumors make it difficult to eliminate malignant tumors by single therapy. In order to enhance the efficacy of antitumor therapy, it is significant and challenging to realize multi-mode combination therapy by utilizing/improving the adverse factors of the tumor microenvironment (TME). In this study, a novel Fe3O4@Au/PPy nanoplatform loaded with a chemotherapy drug (DOX) and responsive to TME, near-infrared (NIR) laser and magnetic field was designed for the combination enhancement of eliminating the tumor. The Fe2+ released at the low pH in TME can react with endogenous H2O2 to induce toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). At the same time, the generated Fe3+ could deplete overexpressed glutathione (GSH) at the tumor site to prevent reactive oxygen species (ROS) from being restored while producing Fe2+ for CDT. The designed Fe3O4@Au/PPy nanoplatform had high photothermal (PT) conversion efficiency and photodynamic therapy (PDT) performance under NIR light excitation, which can promote CDT efficiency and produce more toxic ROS. To maximize the cancer-killing efficiency, the nanoplatform can be successfully loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug DOX, which can be efficiently released under NIR excitation and induction of slight acidity at the tumor site. In addition, the nanoplatform also possessed high saturation magnetization (20 emu/g), indicating a potential magnetic targeting function. In vivo and in vitro results identified that the Fe3O4@Au/PPy-DOX nanoplatform had good biocompatibility and magnetic-targeted synergetic CDT/PDT/PTT/chemotherapy antitumor effects, which were much better than those of the corresponding mono/bi/tri-therapies. This work provides a new approach for designing intelligent TME-mediated nanoplatforms for synergistically enhancing tumor therapy.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), which uses agents to induce cell death by decomposing endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH), has been recognized as a promising approach to treat cancer. However, improving the efficiency of ˙OH production is considered one of the biggest challenges that limits the therapeutic efficacy of CDT. Herein, to controllably and efficiently induce oxidative damage through the production of ˙OH, we developed a new metal complex CDT agent with atomically precise structural characteristics as a deviation from traditional nanomaterial-CDT agents. The obtained CDT agent, a cinnamaldehyde derived copper(I) complex (denoted Cin-OD-Cu), was found to be continuously enriched in the mitochondria of A2780 ovarian carcinoma cells, which was accompanied by the generation of large amounts of ˙OH via Cu(I)-mediated Fenton-like reactions of H2O2, thereby stimulating oxidative stress in the mitochondria and eventually leading to cell death. Moreover, in vivo experiments showed that Cin-OD-Cu was capable of effectively inhibiting tumor growth with excellent biocompatibility. We believe this research enriches the limited selection of atomically precise metal complex CDT agents in particular for reactive oxygen species-mediated treatments aimed at inducing mitochondria oxidative damage; we anticipate that it will provide new insights into the development of novel, atomically precise agents for CDT.

Abstract
Bacterial infection remains one of the most dangerous threats to human health due to the increasing cases of bacterial resistance, which is caused by the extensive use of current antibiotics. Photothermal therapy (PTT) is similar to photodynamic therapy (PDT), but PTT can generate heat energy under the excitation of light of specific wavelength, resulting in overheating and damage to target cells or sites. Polydopamine (PDA) has been proved to show plenty of advantages, such as simple preparation, good photothermal conversion effects, high biocompatibility, and easy functionalization and adhesion. Taking these advantages, dopamine is widely used to synthesize the PDA nanosystem with excellent photothermal effects, good biocompatibility, and high drug loading ability, which therefore play more and more important roles for anticancer and antibacterial treatment. PDA nanosystem-mediated PTT has been reported to induce significant tumor inhibition, as well as bacterial killings due to PTT-induced hyperthermia. Moreover, combined with other cancer or bacterial inhibition strategies, PDA nanosystem-mediated PTT can achieve more effective tumor and bacterial inhibitions. In this review, we summarized the progress of preparation methods for the PDA nanosystem, followed by advances of their biological functions and mechanisms for PTT uses, especially in the field of antibacterial treatments. We also provided advances on how to combine PDA nanosystem-mediated PTT with other antibacterial methods for synergistic bacterial killings. Moreover, we further provide some prospects of PDA nanosystem-mediated PTT against intracellular bacteria, which might be helpful to facilitate their future research progress for antibacterial therapy.

Abstract
In terms of the large-scale hydrogen production by water electrolysis, achieving the bifunctional electrocatalyst with high efficiency and stability at high current densities is of great significance but still remains a grand challenge. To address this issue, herein, one unique hybrid electrode is synthesized with the local photothermal effect (LPTE) by supporting the novel ternary nickel (Ni)bismuth (Bi)sulfur (S) nanosheet arrays onto nickel foam (Ni3 Bi2 S2 @NF) via a one-pot hydrothermal reaction. The combined experimental and theoretical observations reveal that owing to the intrinsic LPTE action of Bi, robust phase stability of Ni3 Bi2 S2 as well as the synergistic effect with hierarchical configuration, upon injecting the light, the as-prepared Ni3 Bi2 S2 exhibits remarkably improved efficiency of 44% and 35% for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), respectively. Such enhanced values are also comparable to those performed in working media heated to 80 °C. In addition, the overall water splitting system by using Ni3 Bi2 S2 @NF as bifunctional electrodes only delivers an ultralow voltage of 1.40 V at 10 mA cm-2 under LPTE, and can be stable more than 36 h at 500-1000 mA cm-2 . More broadly, even worked at 0-5 °C, alkaline simulated seawater and high salt seawater, the electrodes still show apparent LPTE effect for improving catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a novel cancer therapeutic strategy defined as the treatment using Fenton or Fenton-like reaction to produce •OH in the tumor region, was first proposed by Bu, Shi, and co-workers in 2016. Recently, with the rapid development of Fenton and Fenton-like nanomaterials, CDT has attracted tremendous attention because of its unique advantages: 1) It is tumor-selective with low side effects; 2) the CDT process does not depend on external field stimulation; 3) it can modulate the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment; 4) the treatment cost of CDT is low. In addition to the Fe-involved CDT strategies, the Fenton-like reaction-mediated CDT strategies have also been proposed, which are based on many other metal elements including copper, manganese, cobalt, titanium, vanadium, palladium, silver, molybdenum, ruthenium, tungsten, cerium, and zinc. Moreover, CDT has been combined with other therapies like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, sonodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy for achieving enhanced anticancer effects. Besides, there have also been studies that extend the application of CDT to the antibacterial field. This review introduces the latest advancements in the nanomaterials-involved CDT from 2018 to the present and proposes the current limitations as well as future research directions in the related field.

Abstract
The penetration depth of near-infrared laser has greatly restricted the development of most photothermal agents. Recently, photothermal agents in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window have drawn great attention as they can overcome above barrier. Herein, a novel "all in one" NIR-II responsive nanoplatform (nickel selenide @polydopamine nanocomposites, NiSe@PDA NCs) based on in situ coating the polydopamine (PDA) on the surface of biomineralized nickel selenide nanoparticles (NiSe NPs) for dual-model imaging-guided photothermal therapy is reported. Under the illumination of NIR-II laser (1064 nm), the photothermal conversion efficiency of NiSe@PDA NCs can reach 48.4%, which is higher than that of single NiSe NPs due to the enhanced molar extinction coefficient. In addition, because of the paramagnetic effect of NiSe NPs, the constructed NiSe@PDA NCs can be acted as T1 contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Most importantly, the MRI contrast effect is enhanced with the coating of PDA layer due to the loose structure of PDA. Ultimately, both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that the developed NCs can achieve efficient MRI-guided photothermal therapy for treating malignant tumor. Therefore, the designed NiSe@PDA NCs with excellent features show great potential for clinical MRI-guided cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT), as a promising antineoplastic therapeutic strategy, has been harnessed to restrain tumor growth through near-infrared (NIR) irradiation mediated thermal ablation. Nevertheless, its biological applications are hampered by thermal diffusion and up-regulated heat shock proteins (HSPs). Herein, a versatile nanotheranostic agent is developed via integrating Zn0.2Fe2.8O4 nanoparticles (NPs), polydopamine (PDA), and MnO2 NPs for T1/T2 dual-modal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided and self-augmented PTT. The as-designed Zn0.2Fe2.8O4@PDA@MnO2 NPs adequately serve as a PTT agent to realize effective photothermal conversion and obtain local hyperthermia. Additionally, the Zn0.2Fe2.8O4@PDA@MnO2 NPs can significantly consume overexpressed glutathione (GSH) and generate Mn2+ in the tumor microenvironment (TME), thus destroying redox homeostasis and catalytically generating hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) for HSP suppression and PTT enhancement. Meanwhile, Mn2+ and Zn0.2Fe2.8O4 NPs significantly strengthen T1- and T2-weighted MR contrast for tumor imaging and PTT guidance. Hence, this study offers proof of concept for self-augmented PTT and T1/T2 dual-modal MR imaging for tumor elimination.

Abstract
Rapid advances in nanotechnology have opened up innovative trails to break through the current limitation in clinical treatments of cancer and other critical diseases that plague human beings. Ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles (USIO NPs) with sizes smaller than 5 nm have been emerging as a novel category of nanomaterials with increasing interest in the biomedical domains. To overcome their intrinsic shortcomings, naked USIO NPs can be functionalized, clustered, assembled, or incorporated with other nanomaterials to generate various kinds of intelligent nanoplatforms for single-mode or dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, multimode imaging, as well as imaging-guided precision therapy. In this spotlight on applications, first, we propose the principal aspects in the design and application of USIO NPs for biomedical uses. Second, we cover the recent design strategies of USIO NP-based nanoplatforms mainly developed by our group, describe the rationale on the combination of other functional materials with USIO NPs, and review their resultant applications in theranostics. In addition, we provide herein a perspective on the possible future directions toward USIO NP-based nanoplatforms as smart nanomedicines.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a promising therapeutic modality with transition metal ions and endogenous H2O2 as reagents, but its efficiency is impaired by low endogenous H2O2 levels and nonregeneration of metal ions. Most intracellular H2O2 supplement strategies use oxidases and are intensively dependent on oxygen participation. The hypoxia microenvironments of solid tumors weaken their performance. Here, we develop a near-infrared II light powered nanoamplifier to improve the local oxygen level and to enhance CDT. The nanoamplifier CPNP-Fc/Pt consists of ferrocene (Fc)- and cisplatin prodrug (Pt(IV))-modified conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNPs). CPNP has a donor-acceptor structure and demonstrates a good photothermal effect under 1064 nm light irradiation, which accelerates blood flow and efficiently elevates the local oxygen content. In response to intracellular glutathione, Pt(II) is released from CPNP-Fc/Pt and triggers enzymatic cascade reactions with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NADPH oxidase) and superoxide dismutase to convert oxygen into H2O2. The enhanced oxygen level results in efficient intracellular H2O2 supply. Fc is reacted with H2O2 and converted to Fc+ via the Fenton reaction, with the generation of hydroxyl radicals for CDT. Unlike free metal ions, the Fe(III) in Fc+ is reduced to Fe(II) by intracellular NAD(P)H, which achieves the regeneration of Fc. The sufficient intracellular H2O2 supply and efficient Fc regeneration effectively enhance the Fenton reaction and demonstrate good in vivo CDT results with tumor growth suppression. This design offers a promising strategy to enhance CDT efficiency in the hypoxia microenvironment of solid tumors.

Abstract
Surface modification of nanoparticles with cellular protein components is a new biomimetic modification strategy, which utilizes the inherent affinity between homologous cells to introduce the same surface molecules into nanoparticles to improve the targeting performance. In this study, oleic acid (OA)-coated Fe3O4 nanocubes were prepared by a high-temperature thermal decomposition method and modified by 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid (DHCA); then, HeLa cell membranes were introduced onto the surface of the nanocubes through mixed coextrusion to try to endow them with the targeting function of natural cells. The results show that the prepared Fe3O4 nanocubes have high monodispersity, excellent water solubility, and biocompatibility. Moreover, the Fe3O4 nanocubes encapsulated by cellular protein show an obvious core-shell structure and the specific targeting property to HeLa cells is improved significantly, which is expected to be used in clinical targeted diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
It is of utmost urgency to achieve effective and safe anticancer treatment with the increasing mortality rate of cancer. Novel anticancer drugs and strategies need to be designed for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Fenton- and Fenton-like reaction-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are new strategies to enhance anticancer efficacy due to their capacity to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxygen (O2). On the one hand, the generated ROS can damage the cancer cells directly. On the other hand, the generated O2 can relieve the hypoxic condition in the tumor microenvironment (TME) which hinders efficient photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, etc. Therefore, CDT can be used together with many other therapeutic strategies for synergistically enhanced combination therapy. The antitumor applications of Fenton- and Fenton-like reaction-based nanomaterials will be discussed in this review, including: (iþ) producing abundant ROS in-situ to kill cancer cells directly, (ii) enhancing therapeutic efficiency indirectly by Fenton reaction-mediated combination therapy, (iii) diagnosis and monitoring of cancer therapy. These strategies exhibit the potential of CDT-based nanomaterials for efficient cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) mainly relies on reactive oxygen species generated by light- activated photosensitizers and oxygen to kill tumor cells. However, a critical limitation of the current PDT is that it is less effective in solid tumors where the microenvironment is hypoxic, and, therefore, repeated treatment is required. Here, non-stoichiometric Co2.19S4 nanodots (NDs), which can be rapidly degraded to cobalt (Co2+) and sulfur (S2-) ions, were developed to enhance tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) via the capture of copper (Cu2+) ions (starvation therapy) in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment under near-infrared irradiation. Co2.19S4 NDs with excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (ɳ = 52%) can be used for PTT, and the Co2+ ions produced by their degradation can catalyze the endogenous hydrogen peroxide of tumor cells to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals to achieve tumor CDT. The mechanism of starvation therapy was explored using western blotting, and the results indicated that blocking the uptake of Cu2+ ions could restrain the growth and proliferation of tumors by inhibiting the BRAF/mitogen-activated extracellular signal regulated kinase (MEK)/extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) signaling pathway. Our work highlights the great potential of Co2.19S4 NDs as a theranostic agent for implementing photoacoustic/photothermal imaging and starvation therapy-enhanced PTT/CDT.

Abstract
Bismuth sulfide quantum dots (Bi2S3 QDs), which have excellent optical and thermoelectric properties, represent a green and non-toxic semiconductor material that has been widely used in catalysis and photoelectric conversion devices. At present, research on this material has gradually expanded into the biological field. Herein, the biomineralization method mediated by bovine serum albumin (BSA) was utilized to synthesize Bi2S3 QDs with monodispersity, excellent colloidal stability, and good biocompatibility. This is the first study on the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) characteristics of Bi2S3 QDs and related ECL mechanisms in detail. In addition, on the basis of Bi2S3 QDs, an ECL immunosensor was used for the ultrasensitive measurement of cyclin D1 (CCND1). The composite material, namely Au@Cu-Bi2S3 QDs was used as a high-sensitivity ECL probe, in which AuNPs were connected with Bi2S3 QDs through a copper(ii) ion bridge. PDA-AgNPs made of dopamine (DA) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were utilized as a carrier for fixing the primary antibody (Ab1), ultimately presenting a relatively wide detection range of 10 fg mL-1-1 μg mL-1. Moreover, quite a low detection limit (6.34 fg mL-1) was also obtained for an assay of CCND1. Results indicated that the immunosensor can provide a potential platform with fine stability and creditable reproducibility for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) is becoming a pervasive therapeutic pattern in clinical cancer therapy. However, the hypoxic microenvironment of tumors has a strong resistance to radiotherapy and could lead to a potential recurrence and metastasis after the treatment. Therefore, the use of synergistic strategies for improving and supplementing the RT efficiency is important. Herein, a novel Bi2S3/alginate (ALG) hydrogel containing tirapazamine (TPZ) was designed for the effective suppression of tumor recurrence, by introducing Bi3+ into the ALG, Na2S and TPZ solution. In this formulation, Bi3+ was used to crosslink with the ALG to form the hydrogel and react with S2- to simultaneously form Bi2S3 nanoparticles in the hydrogel matrix. The resulting Bi2S3 nanoparticles not only exhibit the superb radiosensitization effect to boost the effective eradication of tumors during RT but also manifest an excellent photothermal transforming performance for tumor hyperthermia and computed tomography (CT) imaging capacity for tumor monitoring. Furthermore, the RT caused hypoxia could activate the reductive prodrug TPZ and enhance its therapeutic efficiency. The reported hydrogel system provides an efficient and safe therapeutic strategy for current local tumor therapy.

Abstract
Colloidal perovskite barium titanate (BaTiO3, or BT) nanoparticles (NPs), conventionally used for applications in electronics, can also be considered for their potential as biocompatible computed tomography (CT) contrast agents. NPs of BT produced by traditional solid-state methods tend to have broad size distributions and poor dispersibility in aqueous media. Furthermore, uncoated BT NPs can be cytotoxic because of leaching of the heavy metal ion, Ba2+. Here, we present and compare three approaches for surface modification of BT NPs (8 nm) synthesized by the gel collection method to improve their aqueous stability and dispersibility. The first approach produced citrate-capped BT NPs that exhibited extremely high aqueous dispersibility (up to 50 mg/mL) and a small hydrodynamic size (11 nm). Although the high dispersibility was found to be pH-dependent, such aqueous stability sufficiently enabled a feasibility analysis of BT NPs as CT contrast agents. The second approach, a core/shell design, aimed to encapsulate BT nanoaggregates with a silica layer using a modified Stöber method. A cluster of 7-20 NPs coated with a thick layer (20-100 nm) of SiO2 was routinely observed, producing larger NPs in the 100-200 nm range. A third approach was developed using a reverse-microemulsion method to encapsulate a single BT core within a thin (10 nm) silica layer, with an overall particle size of 29 nm. The -OH groups on the silica layer readily enabled surface PEGylation, allowing the NPs to remain highly stable in saline solutions. We report that the silica-coated BT NPs in both methods exhibited a low level of Ba2+ leaching (≤3% of total barium in NPs) in phosphate-buffered saline for 48 h compared to the unmodified BT NPs (14.4%).

Abstract
Given the diversity, complexity, and heterogeneity of persistent tumors, traditional nanoscale monotherapeutic systems suffer from dissatisfactory curative efficiency with incidence of metastasis or relapse. In parallel, the trend of clinical research on the basis of nanomedicines has increasingly shifted from monotherapy toward combinatorial therapy for admirable synergetic performances. In this regard, cutting-edge nanomedicines harnessing photothermal-chemodynamic bimodal therapy (PTT/CDT) have opened up a highly-efficient and relatively-safe cancer theranostic paradigm. Still, the integration of PTT/CDT functional units into one nanomedicine remains a herculean but meaningful task to achieve notable super-additive effects. This review aims to elucidate underlying synergistic interactions of PTT/CDT and highlight intriguing designs of nanomedicines for PTT/CDT including nanomaterial selection, performance optimization, multimodal therapy, visualization strategies, and targeting strategies. Furthermore, an outlook on further improvements of PTT/CDT is provided, emphasizing significant scientific issues that require remediation for clinical translation. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
With the fast development of nanomedicine, the imaging-guided and photo-induced cancer monotherapies can efficiently eliminate tumor lesions, which are strongly dependent on the construction of versatile theranostic nanoplatforms. Among diverse photo-converting nanoplatforms, silver chalcogenide nanoparticles feature high biocompatibility, narrow band gaps, and tunable optical properties, yet Ag2Te-based nanosystems are still at a proof-of-concept stage, and the exploration of Ag2Te-based nanosystems suitable for photonic tumor hyperthermia is challenging. Herein, we report on the construction of versatile ultrasmall Ag2Te quantum dots (QDs) via a facile biomineralization strategy. Especially, these Ag2Te QDs with negligible toxicity and excellent biocompatibility were developed for X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging-guided photonic tumor hyperthermia by near-infrared (NIR) activation. The fabricated Ag2Te QDs exhibited a high tumor suppression rate (94.3%) on 4T1 breast tumor animal models due to the high photothermal-conversion efficiency (50.5%). Mechanistically, Ag2Te QDs were promising potential CT imaging agents for imaging guidance and monitoring during photonic hyperthermia. Importantly, Ag2Te QDs were rapidly eliminated from the body via feces and urine because of their ultrasmall sizes. This work not only broadens the biomedical applications of silver chalcogenide-based theranostic nanosystems but also provides the paradigm of theranostic nanosystems with a photonic tumor hyperthermia effect and outstanding contrast enhancement of high-performance CT imaging.
