Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that are critical for the regulation of multiple physiological and pathological processes, thus holding great clinical potential. However, the therapeutic applications of miRNAs are severely limited by their biological instability and poor intracellular delivery. Herein, we describe a dual-layers surface engineering strategy to design an efficient miRNA delivery nanosystem based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) incorporating lipid coating. The resulting nanoparticle system was demonstrated to protect miRNA from ribonuclease degradation, enhance cellular uptake and facilitate lysosomal escape. These ensured effective miRNA mediated gene therapy, which synergized with MOF-specific photodynamic therapy and pre-encapsulated doxorubicin (Dox) chemotherapy to provide a multifunctional with therapeutic effectiveness against cencer cells The mechanisms of miRNA binding and Dox loading were revealed, demonstrating the potential of the present MOFs surface-engineered strategy to overcome their inherent pore-size restriction for macromolecular miRNA carrying, enableefficient co-delivery. In vitro studies revealed the potential of our multifunctional system for miRNA delivery and the demonstrated the therapeutic effectiveness against cancer cells, thereby providing a versatile all-in-one MOFs strategy for delivery of nucleic acids and diverse therapeutic molecules in synergistic therapy.

Abstract
A bilayer MOF reporter (ZIF-67@FAM-mRNA@ZIF-8) was synthesized, and the ZIF-67 was used as a carrier and fluorescent quencher to connect the FAM reporter through electrostatic adsorption and coordination effect. The ZIF-8 covering the outer layer can improve the stability of the probe and cell permeability, which helps the FAM reporter effectively release. After entering the cancer cells, the acidic environment in the cells induced the decomposition of ZIF-8. The excess ATP in the tumor cells competitively binds ZIF-67, causing the FAM reporter to shed and restore fluorescence. The shed FAM reporter was specifically bound to the overexpressed miRNA-21 in breast cancer cells to achieve fluorescence imaging and therapy of breast cancer. The results of specific imaging and apoptosis experiments of breast cancer cells indicate that bilayer MOF nanomachine provides an effective nanotherapy platform for accurate fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Ischemic osteonecrosis, particularly glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GIONFH), is primarily due to the dysfunction of osteogenesis and angiogenesis. miRNA, as a therapeutic system with immense potential, plays a vital role in the treatment of various diseases. However, due to the unique microenvironmental structure of bone tissue, especially in the case of GIONFH, where there is a deficiency in the vascular system, it is challenging to effectively target and deliver to the ischemic osteonecrosis area. A drug delivery system assisted by genetically engineered cell membranes holds promise in addressing the challenge of targeted miRNA delivery. Herein, we leverage the potential of miR-21 in modulating osteogenesis and angiogenesis to design an innovative biomimetic nanoplatform system. First, we employed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the core structure to load miR-21-m (miR-21-m@MOF). The nanoparticles were further coated with the membrane of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing CXCR4 (CM-miR-21-m@MOF), enhancing their ability to target ischemic bone areas via the CXCR4-SDF1 axis. These biomimetic nanocomposites possess both bone-targeting and ischemia-guiding capabilities, actively targeting GIONFH lesions to release miR-21-m into target cells, thereby silencing PTEN gene and activating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway to regulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis. This innovative miRNA delivery system provides a promising therapeutic avenue for GIONFH and potentially other related ischemic bone diseases. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer that carries the worst prognosis and lacks specific therapeutic targets. To achieve accurate "cargos" delivery at the TNBC site, we herein constructed a novel biomimetic nano-Trojan horse integrating chemotherapy with gene therapy for boosting TNBC treatment. Briefly, we initially introduce the diselenide-bond-containing organosilica moieties into the framework of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MONs), thereby conferring biodegradability to intratumoral redox conditions in the obtained MONSe. Subsequently, doxorubicin (Dox) and therapeutic miR-34a are loaded into MONSe, thus achieving the combination of chemotherapy and gene-therapy. After homologous tumor cell membrane coating, the ultimate homologous tumor cell-derived biomimetic nano-Trojan horse (namely, MONSe@Dox@miR-34a@CM) can selectively enter the tumor cells in a stealth-like fashion. Notably, such a nanoplatform not only synergistically eradicated the tumor but also inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer stem-like cells (BCSCs) in vitro and in vivo. With the integration of homologous tumor cell membrane-facilitated intratumoral accumulation, excellent biodegradability, and synergistic gene-chemotherapy, our biomimetic nanocarriers hold tremendous promise for the cure of TNBC in the future.

Abstract
Timely blood reperfusion after myocardial infarction (MI) paradoxically triggers ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/RI), which currently has not been conquered by clinical treatments. Among innovative repair strategies for myocardial I/RI, microRNAs (miRNAs) are expected as genetic tools to rescue damaged myocardium. Our previous study identified that miR-30d can provide protection against myocardial apoptosis and fibrosis to alleviate myocardial injury. Although common methods such as liposomes and viral vectors have been used for miRNA transfection, their therapeutic efficiencies have struggled with inefficient in vivo delivery, susceptible inactivation, and immunogenicity. Here, we establish a nanoparticle-patch system for miR-30d delivery in a murine myocardial I/RI model, which contains ZIF-8 nanoparticles and a conductive microneedle patch. Loaded with miR-30d, ZIF-8 nanoparticles leveraging the proton sponge effect enable miR-30d to escape the endocytic pathway, thus avoiding premature degradation in lysosomes. Meanwhile, the conductive microneedle patch offers a distinct advantage by intramyocardial administration for localized, effective, and sustained miR-30d delivery, and it simultaneously releases Au nanoparticles to reconstruct electrical impulses within the infarcted myocardium. Consequently, the nanoparticle-patch system supports the consistent and robust expression of miR-30d in cardiomyocytes. Results from echocardiography and electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed improved heart functions and standard ECG wave patterns in myocardial I/RI mice after implantation of a nanoparticle-patch system for 3 and 6 weeks. In summary, our work incorporated conductive microneedle patch and miR-30d nanodelivery systems to synergistically transcend the limitations of common RNA transfection methods, thus mitigating myocardial I/RI.

Abstract
With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology, stimuli-responsive nanomaterials have emerged as a feasible choice for the designing of controlled drug delivery systems. Zeolitic imidazolates frameworks are a subclass of Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that are recognized by their excellent porosity, structural tunability and chemical modifications make them promising materials for loading targeted molecules and therapeutics agents. The biomedical industry uses these porous materials extensively as nano-carriers in drug delivery systems. These MOFs not only possess excellent targeted imaging ability but also cause the death of tumor cells drawing considerable attention in the current framework of anticancer drug delivery systems. In this review, the outline of stability, porosity, mechanism of encapsulation and release of anticancer drug have been reported extensively. In the end, we also discuss a brief outline of current challenges and future perspectives of ZIFs in the biomedical world.

Abstract
Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a highly contagious viral disease, which leads to severe financial losses in the breeding industry worldwide. Presently, PRV is mainly controlled using live attenuated and inactivated vaccines. However, these vaccines have an innate tendency to lose their structural conformation upon exposure to environmental and chemical stressors and cannot provide full protection against the emerging prevalent PRV variants. In this work, first, we synthesized aminated ZIF-7/8 nanoparticles (NPs), and then chemical bond-coated alginate dialdehyde (ADA, a type of dioxide alginate saccharide) on their surface via Schiff base reaction to obtain ZIF-7/8-ADA NPs. The as-fabricated ZIF-7/8-ADA NPs exhibited high stability, monodispersity and a high loading ratio of antigen. Furthermore, the ZIF-7/8-ADA NPs showed good biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. Using ZIF-7/8-ADA NPs as an adjuvant and inactivated PRV as a model antigen, we constructed a PR vaccine through a simple mixture. The immunity studies indicated that ZIF-7/8-ADA induced an enhancement in the Th1/Th2 immune response, which was superior to that of the commercial ISA201, alum adjuvant and ZIF-7/8. Due to the pH-sensitive release of the antigen in lysosomes, the as-prepared PR vaccine subsequently accelerated the antigen presentation and improved the immune responses in vitro and in vivo. The results of PRV challenge using mice as the model demonstrated that ZIF-7/8-ADA achieved the same preventive effect as the commercial ISA201 and was much better than the alum adjuvant, and thus can serve as a promising delivery system and adjuvant to enhance humoral and cellular responses against PRV infection.

Abstract
Gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi), particularly using small double-stranded RNA (siRNA), has been identified as a potent strategy for targeted cancer treatment. Yet, its application faces challenges such as nuclease degradation, inefficient cellular uptake, endosomal entrapment, off-target effects, and immune responses, which have hindered its effective delivery. In the past few years, these challenges have been addressed significantly by using camouflaged metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocarriers. These nanocarriers protect siRNA from degradation, enhance cellular uptake, and reduce unintended side effects by effectively targeting desired cells while evading immune detection. By combining the properties of biomimetic membranes and MOFs, these nanocarriers offer superior benefits such as extended circulation times, enhanced stability, and reduced immune responses. Moreover, through ligand-receptor interactions, biomimetic membrane-coated MOFs achieve homologous targeting, minimizing off-target adverse effects. The MOFs, acting as the core, efficiently encapsulate and protect siRNA molecules, while the biomimetic membrane-coated surface provides homologous targeting, further increasing the precision of siRNA delivery to cancer cells. In particular, the biomimetic membranes help to shield the MOFs from the immune system, avoiding unwanted immune responses and improving their biocompatibility. The combination of siRNA with innovative nanocarriers, such as camouflaged-MOFs, presents a significant advancement in cancer therapy. The ability to deliver siRNA with precision and effectiveness using these camouflaged nanocarriers holds great promise for achieving more personalized and efficient cancer treatments in the future. This review article discusses the significant progress made in the development of siRNA therapeutics for cancer, focusing on their effective delivery through novel nanocarriers, with a particular emphasis on the role of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as camouflaged nanocarriers.

Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) can cause a variety of malignancies. Ganciclovir (GCV) is one of the most efficient drugs against KSHV, but its non-specificity can cause other side effects in patients. Nucleic acid miR-34a-5p can inhibit the transcription of KSHV RNA and has great potential in anti-KSHV therapy, but there are still problems such as easy degradation and low delivery efficiency. Here, we constructed a co-loaded dual-drug nanocomplex (GCV@ZIF-8/PEI-FA+miR-34a-5p) that contains GCV internally and adsorbs miR-34a-5p externally. The folic acid (FA)-coupled polyethyleneimine (PEI) coating layer (PEI-FA) was shown to increase the cellular uptake of the nanocomplex, which is conducive to the enrichment of drugs at the KSHV infection site. GCV and miR-34a-5p are released at the site of the KSHV infection through the acid hydrolysis characteristics of ZIF-8 and the "proton sponge effect" of PEI. The co-loaded dual-drug nanocomplex not only inhibits the proliferation and migration of KSHV-positive cells but also decreases the mRNA expression level of KSHV lytic and latent genes. In conclusion, this co-loaded dual-drug nanocomplex may provide an attractive strategy for antiviral drug delivery and anti-KSHV therapy.

Abstract
The nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field that has become a hot topic in cancer therapy. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials and hybrid composites consisted of organic linkers and metal cations. Despite the wide application of MOFs in other fields, the potential of MOFs for purpose of cancer therapy has been revealed by the recent studies. High surface area and porosity, significant drug loading and encapsulation efficiency are among the benefits of using MOFs in drug delivery. MOFs can deliver genes/drugs with selective targeting of tumor cells that can be achieved through functionalization with ligands. The photosensitizers and photo-responsive nanostructures including carbon dots and gold nanoparticles can be loaded in/on MOFs to cause phototherapy-mediated tumor ablation. The immunogenic cell death induction and increased infiltration of cytotoxic CD8+ and CD4+ T cells can be accelerated by MOF platforms in providing immunotherapy of tumor cells. The stimuli-responsive MOF platforms responsive to pH, redox, enzyme and ion can accelerate release of therapeutics in tumor site. Moreover, MOF nanocomposites can be modified ligands and green polymers to improve their selectivity and biocompatibility for cancer therapy. The application of MOFs for the detection of cancer-related biomarkers can participate in the early diagnosis of patients.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the capabilities of human genomic DNA biomineralization into ZIF-8 metal-organic framework (MOF) preserving DNA sequence integrity after the encapsulation cycle and composite dissolving. The study is an initial stage of the project aimed at developing an abiotic vector to be used when working with native nucleic acids of an arbitrary size based on DNA@ZIF-8 composite. Materials and Methods We studied human genomic DNA isolated from lymphocytes of peripheral blood of healthy volunteers using Proba-NK kit (DNA-Technology LLC, Russia). Genomic DNA purity and concentration was estimated spectrophotometrically at 260/280 nm using Tecan Infinity 200 Pro plate reader (Tecan Instruments, Austria). ZIF-8 was synthesized in the physiological conditions (37°C) by mixing zinc salt and 2-methylimidazole aqueous solutions at different molar ratios. Human genomic DNA was encapsulated into ZIF-8 in similar conditions. The obtained MOF and DNA@ZIF-8 composite were studied using X-ray powder diffraction at the Phaser D2 XRPD device (Bruker, USA), and the specific surface area was estimated using Autosorb iQ porosimetry analyzer (Quantachrome, USA). The encapsulated DNA was quantified by dissolving DNA@ZIF-8 composite in the citrate buffer. DNA integrity was assessed by real-time allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) using the kits for single nucleotide polymorphisms (Lytech, Russia) at the Quantstudio 6 Pro PCR machine (Thermo Scientific, USA). In case of using the kits with electrophoretic detection, the amplification was performed on the thermal cycler T100 (Thermo Scientific, USA). Results The polymer ZIF-8 and DNA@ZIF-8 composite were obtained at different molar ratios of zinc ions and 2-methylimidazole. We characterized their structure and specific surface area. Genomic DNA biomineralization efficacy was found to be about 7-8%. PCR indicated the integrity of non-selectively chosen loci within the biomineralized DNA. Conclusion The study confirmed the possibility of human genomic DNA encapsulation into ZIF-8 metal-organic framework. After the biomineralization, DNA was found to preserve feasibility to be used in studies to investigate genetic constructs.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129233.

Abstract
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be used as a powerful tool in gene therapy to downregulate the expression of specific disease related genes. Some properties however, such as instability, and low penetration into cells can limit their efficacy, and thus reduce their therapeutic potential. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) such as zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), which consist of organic bridging ligands and metal cations (Zn), have a very high binding affinity with nucleic acids including siRNAs. In this study, we designed a PEGylated ZIF-8 platform that was equipped with epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) aptamer for the targeted delivery of siRNA molecules, in order to knockdown SNHG15 in both a prostate cancer (PC) cell line, and a human PC xenograft mouse model. SNHG15 is a long noncoding RNA, with oncogenic roles in different cancers including PC. The results indicated that the depletion of SNHG15 by Apt-PEG-siRNA@ZIF-8 nanoplatfrom inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation, and increased apoptosis in PC cells. This nanoparticle facilitated the release of siRNAs into the tumor environment in vivo, and subsequently reduced the tumor growth, with no side effects observed in vital organs. We have therefore developed a novel siRNA nano-delivery system for targeted prostate cancer treatment; however further studies are required before it can be tested in clinical trials.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are novel crystalline porous materials assembled from metal ions and organic ligands. The adaptability of their design and the fine-tuning of the pore structures make them stand out in porous materials. Furthermore, by integrating MOF guest functional materials with other hosts, the novel composites have synergistic benefits in numerous fields such as batteries, supercapacitors, catalysis, gas storage and separation, sensors, and drug delivery. This article starts by examining the structural relationship between the host and guest materials, providing a comprehensive overview of the research advancements in various types of MOF-functionalized composites reported to date. The review focuses specifically on four types of spatial structures, including MOFs being (1) embedded in nanopores, (2) immobilized on surface, (3) coated as shells and (4) assembled into hybrids. In addition, specific design ideas for these four MOF-based composites are presented. Some of them involve in situ synthesis method, solvothermal method, etc. The specific properties and applications of these materials are also mentioned. Finally, a brief summary of the advantages of these four types of MOF composites is given. Hopefully, this article will help researchers in the design of MOF composite structures.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the leading causes of cancer mortality. The lifetime risk of developing CRC is about 5% in adult males and females. CRC is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, and at this point therapy has a limited impact on cure rates and long-term survival. Novel and/or improved CRC therapeutic options are needed. The involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer development has been reported, and their regulation in many oncogenic pathways suggests their potent tumor suppressor action. Although miRNAs provide a promising therapeutic approach for cancer, challenges such as biodegradation, specificity, stability and toxicity, impede their progression into clinical trials. Nanotechnology strategies offer diverse advantages for the use of miRNAs for CRC-targeted delivery and therapy. The merits of using nanocarriers for targeted delivery of miRNA-formulations are presented herein to highlight the role they can play in miRNA-based CRC therapy by targeting different stages of the disease.

Abstract
Cuproptosis, a kind of newly recognized cell death modality, shows enormous prospect in cancer treatment. The inducer of cuproptosis has more advantages in tumor therapy, especially that can trigger cuproptosis and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) simultaneously. However, cuproptosis is restricted to the deficiency of intracellular copper ions and the nonspecific delivery of copper-based ionophores. Therefore, high level delivery, responsive release, and utilizing synergistic-function of inducer become the key on cuproptosis-based oncotherapy. In this work, a cascade nanosystem is constructed for enhanced cuproptosis and CDT. In the weak acidic environment of tumor cells, DNA, zinc ions, and Cu+ can release from the nanosystem. Since Cu+ having superior performance in mediating both Fenton-like reaction and cuproptosis, the released Cu+ induces cuproptosis and CDT efficiently, accompanied by Cu2+ generation. Then Cu2+ can be converted into Cu+ partially by glutathione (GSH) to from a Cu+ supply loop and ensure the synergistic action. Meanwhile, the consumption of GSH also contributes to cuproptosis and CDT in return. Finally, DNA and Zn2+ form DNAzyme to shear catalase-related RNA, resulting in the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and further enhancing combination therapy. These results provide a promising nanotherapeutic platform and may inspire the design for potential cancer treatment based on cuproptosis.

Abstract
Long viewed as an intermediary in protein translation, there is a growing awareness that tRNAs are capable of myriad other biological functions linked to human health and disease. These emerging roles could be tapped to leverage tRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers, therapeutic targets, or even as novel medicines. Furthermore, the growing array of tRNA-derived fragments, which modulate an increasingly broad spectrum of cellular pathways, is expanding this opportunity. Together, these molecules offer drug developers the chance to modulate the impact of mutations and to alter cell homeostasis. Moreover, because a single therapeutic tRNA can facilitate readthrough of a genetic mutation shared across multiple genes, such medicines afford the opportunity to define patient populations not based on their clinical presentation or mutated gene but rather on the mutation itself. This approach could potentially transform the treatment of patients with rare and ultrarare diseases. In this review, we explore the diverse biology of tRNA and its fragments, examining the past and present challenges to provide a comprehensive understanding of the molecules and their therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Intracellular cargo delivery, the introduction of small molecules, proteins, and nucleic acids into a specific targeted site in a biological system, is an important strategy for deciphering cell function, directing cell fate, and reprogramming cell behavior. With the advancement of nanotechnology, many researchers use nanoparticles (NPs) to break through biological barriers to achieving efficient targeted delivery in biological systems, bringing a new way to realize efficient targeted drug delivery in biological systems. With a similar size to many biomolecules, NPs possess excellent physical and chemical properties and a certain targeting ability after functional modification on the surface of NPs. Currently, intracellular cargo delivery based on NPs has emerged as an important strategy for genome editing regimens and cell therapy. Although researchers can successfully deliver NPs into biological systems, many of them are delivered very inefficiently and are not specifically targeted. Hence, the development of efficient, target-capable, and safe nanoscale drug delivery systems to deliver therapeutic substances to cells or organs is a major challenge today. In this review, on the basis of describing the research overview and classification of NPs, we focused on the current research status of intracellular cargo delivery based on NPs in biological systems, and discuss the current problems and challenges in the delivery process of NPs in biological systems.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a non-invasive therapeutic modality with high tissue-penetration depth to induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation for tumor treatment. However, the clinical translation of SDT is restricted seriously by the lack of high-performance sonosensitizers. Herein, the distinct single atom iron (Fe)-doped graphitic-phase carbon nitride (C3 N4 ) semiconductor nanosheets (Fe-C3 N4 NSs) are designed and engineered as chemoreactive sonosensitizers to effectively separate the electrons (e- ) and holes (h+ ) pairs, achieving high yields of ROS generation against melanoma upon ultrasound (US) activation. Especially, the single atom Fe doping not only substantially elevates the separation efficiency of the e- -h+ pairs involved in SDT, but also can serve as high-performance peroxidase mimetic enzyme to catalyze the Fenton reaction for generating abundant hydroxyl radicals, therefore synergistically augmenting the curative effect mediated by SDT. As verified by density functional theory simulation, the doping of Fe atom significantly promotes the charge redistribution in the C3 N4 -based NSs, which improves their synergistic SDT/chemodynamic activities. Both the in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrate that Fe-C3 N4 NSs feature an outstanding antitumor effect by aggrandizing the sono-chemodynamic effect. This work illustrates a unique single-atom doping strategy for ameliorating the sonosensitizers, and also effectively expands the innovative anticancer-therapeutic applications of semiconductor-based inorganic sonosensitizers.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocomposites have recently gained intensive attention for biosensing and disease therapy applications owing to their outstanding physiochemical properties. However, the direct growth of MOF nanocomposites is usually hindered by the mismatched lattice in the interface between the MOF and other nanocomponents. Surface ligands, molecules with surfactant-like properties, are demonstrated to exhibit the robust capability to modify the interfacial properties of nanomaterials and can be utilized as a powerful strategy for the synthesis of MOF nanocomposites. Besides this, surface ligands also exhibit significant functions in the morphological control and functionalization of MOF nanocomposites, thus greatly enhancing their performance in biomedical applications. In this review, the surface ligand-assisted synthesis and biomedical applications of MOF nanocomposites are comprehensively reviewed. Firstly, the synthesis of MOF nanocomposites is discussed according to the diverse roles of surface ligands. Then, MOF nanocomposites with different properties are listed with their applications in biosensing and disease therapy. Finally, current challenges and further directions of MOF nanocomposites are presented to motivate the development of MOF nanocomposites with elaborate structures, enriched functions, and excellent application prospects.

Abstract
Gene therapy has emerged as a powerful tool to treat various diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, ocular diseases and cancer diseases. In 2018, the FDA approved Patisiran (the siRNA therapeutic) for treating amyloidosis. Compared with traditional drugs, gene therapy can directly correct the disease-related genes at the genetic level, which guarantees a sustained effect. However, nucleic acids are unstable in circulation and have short half-lives. They cannot pass through biological membranes due to their high molecular weight and massive negative charges. To facilitate the delivery of nucleic acids, it is crucial to develop a suitable delivery strategy. The rapid development of delivery systems has brought light to the gene delivery field, which can overcome multiple extracellular and intracellular barriers that prevent the efficient delivery of nucleic acids. Moreover, the emergence of stimuli-responsive delivery systems has made it possible to control the release of nucleic acids in an intelligent manner and to precisely guide the therapeutic nucleic acids to the target site. Considering the unique properties of stimuli-responsive delivery systems, various stimuli-responsive nanocarriers have been developed. For example, taking advantage of the physiological variations of a tumor (pH, redox and enzymes), various biostimuli- or endogenous stimuli-responsive delivery systems have been fabricated to control the gene delivery processes in an intelligent manner. In addition, other external stimuli, such as light, magnetic fields and ultrasound, have also been employed to construct stimuli-responsive nanocarriers. Nevertheless, most stimuli-responsive delivery systems are in the preclinical stage, and some critical issues remain to be solved for advancing the clinical translation of these nanocarriers, such as the unsatisfactory transfection efficiency, safety issues, complexity of manufacturing and off-target effects. The purpose of this review is to elaborate the principles of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers and to emphasize the most influential advances of stimuli-responsive gene delivery systems. Current challenges of their clinical translation and corresponding solutions will also be highlighted, which will accelerate the translation of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers and advance the development of gene therapy.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a novel therapeutic approach based on Fenton (Fenton-like) reaction, has been widely employed for tumor therapy. This approach utilizes Fe, Cu, or other metal ions (Mn, Zn, Co, or Mo) to react with the excess hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor microenvironments (TME), and form highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) to kill cancer cells. Recently, nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) have attracted considerable attention as promising CDT agents with the rapid development of cancer CDT. This review focuses on summarizing the latest advances (2020-2022) on the design of nMOFs as nanomedicine for CDT or combination therapy of CDT and other therapies. The future development and challenges of CDT are also proposed based on recent progress. Our group hopes that this review will enlighten the research and development of nMOFs for CDT.

Abstract
Bacteria-infected skin wounds caused by external injuries remain a serious challenge to the whole society. Wound healing dressings, with excellent antibacterial activities and potent regeneration capability, are increasingly needed clinically. Here, we reported a novel functional microneedle (MN) array comprising methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MeHA) embedded with pH-responsive functionalized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles to treat bacteria-infected cutaneous wounds. Antibacterial activity was introduced into Zn-ZIF-8 to achieve sterilization through releasing Zn ions, as well as increased angiogenesis by dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) molecules that were distributed within its framework. Furthermore, biodegradable MeHA was chosen as a substrate material carrier to fabricate DMOG@ZIF-8 MN arrays. By such design, DMOG@ZIF-8 MN arrays would not only exhibit excellent antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria but also enhance angiogenesis within wound bed by upregulating the expression of HIF-1α, leading to a significant therapeutic efficiency on bacteria-infected cutaneous wound healing. Based on these results, we conclude that this new treatment strategy can provide a promising alternative for accelerating infected wound healing via effective antibacterial activity and ameliorative angiogenesis.

Abstract
Starvation therapy kills tumor cells via consuming glucose to cut off their energy supply. However, since glucose oxidase (GOx)-mediated glycolysis is oxygen-dependent, the cascade reaction based on GOx faces the challenge of a hypoxic tumor microenvironment. By decomposition of glycolysis production of H2 O2 into O2 , starvation therapy can be enhanced, but chemodynamic therapy is limited. Here, a close-loop strategy for on demand H2 O2 and O2 delivery, release, and recycling is proposed. The nanoreactor (metal-protein-polyphenol capsule) is designed by incorporating two native proteins, GOx and hemoglobin (Hb), in polyphenol networks with zeolitic imidazolate framework as sacrificial templates. Glycolysis occurs in the presence of GOx with O2 consumption and the produced H2 O2 reacts with Hb to produce highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and methemoglobin (MHb) (Fenton reaction). Benefiting from the different oxygen carrying capacities of Hb and MHb, oxygen on Hb is rapidly released to supplement its consumption during glycolysis. Glycolysis and Fenton reactions are mutually reinforced by oxygen supply, consuming more glucose and producing more hydroxyl radicals and ultimately enhancing both starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy. This cascade nanoreactor exhibits high efficiency for tumor suppression and provides an effective strategy for oxygen-mediated synergistic starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Recent efforts in designing nanomaterials to deliver potential therapeutics to the targeted site are overwhelming and palpable. Engineering nanomaterials to deliver biological molecules to exert desirable physiological changes, with minimized side effects and optimal dose, has revolutionized the next-generation therapy for several diseases. The rapid progress of nucleic acids as biopharmaceutics is going to alter the traditional pharmaceutics practices in modern medicine. However, enzymatic instability, large size, dense negative charge (hydrophilic for cell uptake), and unintentional adverse biological responses-such as prolongation of the blood coagulation and immune system activation-hamper the potential use of nucleic acids for therapeutic purposes. Moreover, the safe delivery of nucleic acids into the clinical setting is an uphill task, and several efforts are being put forward to deliver them to targeted cells. Advances in Metal-based NanoParticles (MNPs) are drawing attention due to the unique properties offered by them for drug delivery, such as large surface-area-to-volume ratio for surface modification, increased therapeutic index of drugs through site-specific delivery, increased stability, enhanced half-life of the drug in circulation, and efficient biodistribution to the desired targeted site. Here, the potential of nanoparticles delivery systems for the delivery of nucleic acids, specially MNPs, and their ability and advantages over other nano delivery systems are reviewed.

Abstract
Programmable chiral biocatalysis represents a promising therapeutic strategy for its high stereospecific control over various biotransformations (e.g., chiral Aβ isomerization) of living entities yet is rarely explored. With an extraordinary resistance to nuclease digestion, the non-natural left-handed deoxyribozyme (l-DNAzyme) therapy is constrained by inefficient delivery/release and insufficient cofactors supply. Herein, an efficient adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-stimulated disassembly of l-histidine (l-His)-integrated ZIF-8 (l-His-ZIF-8) is reported for sustaining the l-DNAzyme-amplified photodynamic therapy. This self-sufficient l-therapeutic platform can intelligently release the l-DNAzyme probe and simultaneously supply l-His DNAzyme cofactors via endogenous ATP. Then, the intrinsic microRNA-21 catalyzes the generation of robust l-DNAzyme via the catalytic hybridization reaction for activating the photosensitizer with multiplied guaranteed therapeutic operation. This l-therapeutic strategy opens up great prospects for more precise diagnosis and customized gene silencing-based therapy.

Abstract
Stroke is the most common cause of disability globally. Neural stem cell (NSC) therapy, which can replace lost and damaged neurons, has been proposed as a potential treatment for stroke. The therapeutic efficacy of NSC therapy is hindered by the fact that only a small number of NSCs undergo neuronal differentiation. Neuron-specific miR-124, which promotes the differentiation of NSCs into mature neurons, can be combined with NSC therapy to cure ischemic stroke. However, the instability and poor internalization of miR-124 seriously hamper its broad clinical application. Herein, an innovative strategy involving delivery of miR-124 via a Ca-MOF@miR-124 nanodelivery system, which effectively prevents the degradation of miR-124 by nucleases and promotes the internalization of miR-124 by NSCs, is presented. The effect of accelerated neuronal directed differentiation of NSCs was assessed through in vitro cell experiments, and the clinical application potential of this nanodelivery system for the treatment of ischemic stroke was assessed through in vivo experiments involving the combination of NSC therapy and Ca-MOF@miR-124 nanoparticles. The results indicate that Ca-MOF@miR-124 nanoparticles can promote the differentiation of NSCs into mature neurons with electrophysiological function within 5 days. The differentiation rate of cells treated with Ca-MOF@miR-124 nanoparticles was at least 5 days faster than that of untreated cells. Moreover, Ca-MOF@miR-124 nanoparticles decreased the ischemic area to almost normal levels by day 7. The combination of Ca-MOF@miR-124 nanoparticles and NSC therapy will enhance the treatment of traumatic nerve injury and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
DNA nanoflowers (DNFs) are topological flower-like nanostructures based on ultralong-strand DNA and inorganic metal-ion frameworks. Because of their programmability, biocompatibility, and controllable assembly size for specific responses to molecular recognition stimuli, DNFs are powerful biosensing tools for detecting biomolecules. Here, we review the current state of DNF-based biosensing strategies for in vivo and in vitro detection, with a view of how the field has evolved towards molecular diagnostics. We also provide a detailed classification of DNF-based biosensing strategies and propose their future utility. Particularly as transduction elements, DNFs can accelerate biosensing engineering by signal amplification. Finally, we discuss the key challenges and further prospects of DNF-based biosensing technologies in developing applications of a broader scope.

Abstract
Many current chemodynamic therapy (CDT) strategies suffer from either low therapeutic efficiency or the deficiency of poor targeting. The low therapeutic efficiency is mainly ascribed to the intracellular antioxidant system and the inefficient Fenton reaction in the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, by exploitation of the diverse function and programmability of functional nucleic acid, aptamer-tethered nanotrains of DNA copper nanoclusters (aptNTDNA-CuNCs) were assembled to simultaneously achieve targeted recognition, loading, and delivery of CDT reagents into tumor cells without an external carrier. The intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) oxidized nanotrains of DNA-CuNCs to produce a lot of Cu2+ and Cu+ ions, which can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the weakly acidic TME based on the pH-independent Fenton-like reaction of Cu+/H2O2. Meanwhile, the redox reaction between intracellular glutathione (GSH) and Cu2+ depleted GSH and generated Cu+ ions, which weakened the antioxidant ability of cancer cells and further enhanced the Fenton-like reaction of Cu+/H2O2, respectively. Thus, the cascade Fenton-like reaction and GSH depletion doubly improved the efficacy of CDT. The in vivo and in vitro study solidly confirmed that aptNTDNA-CuNCs have excellent antitumor efficacy and no cytotoxicity to healthy cells. Therefore, aptNTDNA-CuNCs can act as CDT reagents to achieve highly efficient, biocompatible, and targeted CDT.

Abstract
Simple Summary The biomedical application of metal–organic frameworks in cancer theranostics has become a research hotspot with rapid progress. As a typical representative, ZIF–8 attracts increasing interest from researchers due to its good performance and potential. In this review, we updated recent discoveries on the ZIF–8–based nanoplatforms for cancer, discussed the problems in current research and the obstacles for clinical translation of ZIF–8, and also proposed an outlook on its future development. Abstract Cancer severely threatens human health and has remained the leading cause of disease–related death for decades. With the rapid advancement of nanomedicine, nanoscale metal–organic frameworks are believed to be potentially applied in the treatment and biomedical imaging for various tumors. Zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF)–8 attracts increasing attention due to its high porosity, large specific surface area, and pH–responsiveness. The designs and modifications of ZIF–8 nanoparticles, as well as the strategy of drug loading, demand a multifaceted and comprehensive understanding of nanomaterial features and tumor characteristics. We searched for studies on ZIF–8–based nanoplatforms in tumor theranostics on Web of Science from 2015 to 2022, mainly focused on the research published in the past 3 years, summarized the progress of their applications in tumor imaging and treatment, and discussed the favorable aspects of ZIF–8 nanoparticles for tumor theranostics as well as the future opportunities and potential challenges. As a kind of metal–organic framework material full of potential, ZIF–8 can be expected to be combined with more therapeutic systems in the future and continue to contribute to all aspects of tumor therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
The regulation of intracellular ions' overload to interrupt normal bioprocesses and cause cell death has been developed as an efficient strategy (named as ion-interference therapy/IIT) to treat cancer. In this study, we design a multifunctional nanoplatform (called BSArGO@ZIF-8 NSs) by in situ growth of metal organic framework nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs) onto the graphene oxide (GO) surface, subsequently reduced by ascorbic acid and modified by bovine serum albumin. This nanocomplex causes the intracellular overload of Zn2+, an increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and exerts a broad-spectrum lethality to different kinds of cancer cells. BSArGO@ZIF-8 NSs can promote cell apoptosis by initiating bim (a pro-apoptotic protein)-mediated mitochondrial apoptotic events, up-regulating PUMA/NOXA expression, and down-regulating the level of Bid/p53AIP1. Meanwhile, Zn2+ excess triggers cellular dysfunction and mitochondria damage by activating the autophagy signaling pathways and disturbing the intracellular environmental homeostasis. Combined with the photothermal effect of reduced GO (rGO), BSArGO@ZIF-8 NSs mediated ion-interference and photothermal combined therapy leads to effective apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation and angiogenesis, bringing a higher efficacy in tumor suppression in vivo. This designed Zn-based multifunctional nanoplatform will allow promoting further the development of IIT and the corresponding combined cancer therapy strategy.

pH-activated DNA nanomachine for miRNA-21 imaging to accurately identify cancer cell. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:266. [PMID: 35776208 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05340-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/14/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) imaging has been employed to distinguish cancer cells from normal cells by exploiting the overexpression of miRNA in cancer. Inspired by the acidic extracellular tumor microenvironment, we designed a pH-activated DNA nanomachine to enable the specific detection of cancer cells using miRNA imaging. The DNA nanomachine was engineered by assembling two hairpins (Y1 and Y2) onto the surface of a ZIF-8 metal-organic framework (MOF), which decomposed under acidic conditions to release the adsorbed DNA hairpin molecules in situ. The released hairpins were captured by the target miRNA-21 and underwent catalytic hairpin assembly amplification between Y1 and Y2. The detection limit for miRNA assays using the DNA nanomachine was determined to be 27 pM, which is low enough for sensitive detection in living cells. Living cell imaging of miRNA-21 further corroborated the application of the DNA nanomachine in the identification of cancer cell.

Abstract
Abstract
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline materials that, thanks to their large surface area and high porosity, allow them to be used in various areas of knowledge. This diversity of applications is due to the metal ions and the organic binders that compose them, but it is also important to highlight the ability of MOFs to function as hosts for a great variety of molecules of very different sizes and chemical properties. The first existing approaches for incorporating biomolecules in MOFs are discussed: pore encapsulation, surface binding, covalent binding, and in-situ encapsulation. Next, we discuss the obstacles of designing MOFs for effective gene delivery and how to enhance the gene delivery using different strategies.

Abstract
The rapid development of nanotechnology has generated numerous ideas for cancer treatment, and a wide variety of relevant nanoparticle platforms have been reported. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely investigated as an anti-cancer drug delivery vehicle owing to their unique porous hybrid structure, biocompatibility, structural tunability, and multi-functionality. MOF materials with catalytic activity, known as nanozymes, have applications in photodynamic and chemodynamic therapy. Nucleic acids have also attracted increasing research attention owing to their programmability, ease of synthesis, and versatility. A variety of functional DNAs and RNAs have been applied both therapeutically (gene-targeting drugs for cancer treatment) and nontherapeutically (used as modified materials to enhance the therapeutic effects of other nanomedicines). The combined use of MOFs and functional nucleic acids have been extensively investigated and has been associated with excellent tumor-suppressor activity in various treatment methods. In this review, we summarize the progress in the research and development of tumor therapy based on MOFs and nucleic acid delivery over recent years, focusing on the combinational use of different delivery and design strategies for MOF/therapeutic nucleic acid platforms. We further summarize the strategies for combining MOFs (universal carrier, functional carrier) and nucleic acids (therapeutic nucleic acids, nontherapeutic nucleic acids) and discuss the corresponding therapeutic effects in cancer treatment. This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.

Abstract
Manganese-based Metal-organic Frameworks (Mn-MOFs) represents a unique sub-class of MOFs with low toxicity, oxidative ability, and biocompatibility, which plays vital role in the application of this class of MOFs in medical field. Mn-MOFs show great potential in biomedical applications, and has been extensively studied as compared to other MOFs in transition metal series. They are important in medical applications because Mn(II) possess large electron spin number and longer electron relaxation time. They display fast water exchange rate and could be employed as a potential MRI contrast agent because of their strong targeting ability. Manganese complexes with different ligands also display prospective applications in area such as carrier for drug targeting in anti-tumor and antimicrobial therapy. In the review presented herewith, the application of Mn-based complexes and Mn-MOFs have been emphasized in the area such as imaging viz. MRI, multimodal imaging, antitumor activities such as chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy and antimicrobial applications. Also, how rational designing and syntheses of targeted Mn-based complexes and Mn-MOFs can engender desired applications.

Abstract
RNA therapeutics, including messenger RNA (mRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA), are genetic materials that mediate the translation of genetic direction from genes to induce or inhibit specific protein production. Although the interest in RNA therapeutics is rising globally, the absence of an effective delivery system is an obstacle to the clinical application of RNA therapeutics. Additionally, immunogenicity, short duration of protein expression, unwanted enzymatic degradation, and insufficient cellular uptake could limit the therapeutic efficacy of RNA therapeutics. In this regard, novel platforms based on nanoparticles are crucial for delivering RNAs to the targeted site to increase efficiency without toxicity. In this review, the most recent status of nanoparticles as RNA delivery vectors, with a focus on polymeric nanoparticles, peptide-derived nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, and hybrid nanoparticles, is discussed. These nanoparticular platforms can be utilized for safe and effective RNA delivery to augment therapeutic effects. Ultimately, RNA therapeutics encapsulated in nanoparticle-based carriers will be used to treat many diseases and save lives.

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
Traditional tumor treatments, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and photothermal therapy, are developed and used to treat different types of cancer. Recently, chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has been emerged as a novel cancer therapeutic strategy. CDT utilizes Fenton or Fenton-like reaction to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) from endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) to kill cancer cells, which displays promising therapeutic potentials for tumor treatment. However, the low catalytic efficiency and off-target side effects of Fenton reaction limit the biomedical application of CDT. In this regard, various strategies are implemented to potentiate CDT against tumor, including retrofitting the tumor microenvironment (e.g., increasing H2 O2 level, decreasing reductive substances, and reducing pH), enhancing the catalytic efficiency of nanocatalysts, and other strategies. This review aims to summarize the development of CDT and summarize these recent progresses of nanocatalyst-mediated CDT for antitumor application. The future development trend and challenges of CDT are also discussed.
