[PMID: 39559423 PMCID: PMC11570688 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.10.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2024] [Revised: 10/17/2024] [Accepted: 10/22/2024] [Indexed: 11/20/2024] Open
Abstract
The high glutathione (GSH) environment poses a significant challenge for inducing ferroptosis in tumor cells, necessitating the development of nanoplatforms that can deplete intracellular GSH. In this study, we developed an engineered nanoplatform (MIL-100@Era/L-Arg-HA) that enhances ferroptosis through gas therapy. First, we confirmed that the Fe element in the nanoplatform undergoes valence changes under the influence of high GSH and H2O2 in tumor cells. Meanwhile, L-Arg generates NO gas in the presence of intracellular H2O2, which reacts with GSH. Additionally, Erastin depletes GSH by inhibiting the cystine/glutamate antiporter system, reducing cystine uptake and impairing GPX4, while also increasing intracellular H2O2 levels by activating NOX4 protein expression. Through these combined GSH-depletion mechanisms, we demonstrated that MIL-100@Era/L-Arg-HA effectively depletes GSH levels, disrupts GPX4 function, and increases intracellular lipid ROS levels in vitro. Furthermore, this nanoplatform significantly inhibited tumor cell growth and extended the survival time of tumor-bearing mice in vivo. This engineered nanoplatform, which enhances ferroptosis through gas therapy, shows significant promise for ferroptosis-based cancer therapy and offers potential strategies for clinical tumor treatment.

Biomimetic Chlorosomes: Oxygen-Independent Photocatalytic Nanoreactors for Efficient Combination Photoimmunotherapy. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024:e2413385.

Abstract
Photocatalytic therapy for hypoxic tumors often suffers from inefficiencies due to its dependence on oxygen and the risk of uncontrolled activation. Inspired by the oxygen-independent and precisely regulated photocatalytic functions of natural light-harvesting chlorosomes, chlorosome-mimetic nanoreactors, termed Ru-Chlos, are engineered by confining the aggregation of photosensitive ruthenium-polypyridyl-silane monomers. These Ru-Chlos exhibit markedly enhanced photocatalytic performance compared to their monomeric counterparts under acidic conditions, while notably bypassing the consumption of oxygen or hydrogen peroxide. The photocatalytic activity of Ru-Chlos is finely tunable through light-responsive disassembly of the Ru-bridged matrix, with tunability governed by pre-irradiation duration. Utilization of Ru-Chlos loading prodrug [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] (ABTS) for phototherapy facilitates the generation of toxic radicals (oxABTS) and the photocatalytic conversion of endogenous NADH to NAD+, inducing oxidative stress in hypoxic cancer cells. Simultaneously, the light-responsive degradation of Ru-Chlos produces Ru-based toxins that further contribute to the therapeutic effect. This dual-action mechanism elicits potent immunogenic cell death effects and significantly enhances antitumor efficacy with the aid of a PD-l blockade. These biomimetic chlorosomes highlight their potential to advance oxygen-independent photocatalytic nanoreactors with controlled activity for novel cancer photoimmunotherapy strategies.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a new method for cancer treatment that produces highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the tumor microenvironment to induce cancer cell apoptosis or necrosis. However, the therapeutic effect of CDT is often hindered by intracellular H2O2deficiency and the activity of antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH). In this study, a nano-catalyst HCM was developed using a self-assembled Cu/Mn-doped metal-organic framework, and its surface was modified with hyaluronic acid to construct a tumor-targeting CDT therapeutic agent with improved the efficiency and specificity. Three substances HHTP (2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11-hexahydroxybenzophenanthrene), Cu2+, and Mn2+were shown to be decomposed and released under weakly acidic conditions in tumor cells. HHTP produces exogenous H2O2in the presence of oxygen to increase the H2O2content in tumors, Cu2+reduces GSH content and generates Cu+in the tumor, and Cu+and Mn2+catalyze H2O2to produce ∙OH in a Fenton-like reaction. Together, these three factors change the tumor microenvironment and improve the efficiency of ROS production. HCM showed selective and efficient cytotoxicity to cancer cells, and could effectively inhibit tumor growthin vivo, indicating a good CDT effect.

Abstract
Tribocatalysis research, leveraging the triboelectric effect, presents significant potential for environmental water pollution control. However, there is a notable scarcity of studies pertaining to tribocatalysis involving heterojunctions, particularly in the context of p-n junction tribocatalysis. In this study, we employed a one-step solvothermal method to synthesize a Cu1.8S/CuCo2S4 p-n junction composite catalyst. Subsequently, we explored the tribocatalytic degradation performance of organic pollutants facilitated by the Cu1.8S/CuCo2S4 catalyst. The findings reveal that, under simple magnetic stirring conditions, the degradation rates achieved by the Cu1.8S/CuCo2S4 catalyst for tetracycline (TC), methylene blue (MB), and methyl orange (MO) are remarkably high, reaching 99.9 %, 99.7 %, and 94.0 %, respectively. This underscores the broad applicability of the Cu1.8S/CuCo2S4 catalyst for the tribocatalytic degradation of diverse organic pollutants. Experimental evidence establishes that friction occurring between the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) magnet rod, the beaker, and the catalyst induces charge transfer at their interfaces, generating highly oxidized active species that effectively decompose pollutants. Through free radical capture and electron spin resonance (ESR) tests, it was empirically determined and validated that the principal active species involved in tribocatalytic degradation are holes (h+) and superoxide radicals (O2-). Incorporating insights from the experimental characterization of p-n junctions and density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations, we propose a plausible tribocatalytic mechanism for Cu1.8S/CuCo2S4. This research not only contributes novel findings but also serves as a reference for the exploration of innovative heterojunction tribocatalysts.

Abstract
Due to the limitation that natural peroxidase enzymes can only function in relatively mild environments, nanozymes have expanded the application of enzymology in the biological field by dint of their ability to maintain catalytic oxidative activity in relatively harsh environments. At the same time, the development of new and highly efficient composite nanozymes has been a challenge due to the limitations of monometallic particles in applications and the inherently poor enzyme-mimetic activity of composite nanozymes. The inherent enzyme-mimicking activity is due to Au, Ag, and Pt, along with other transition metals. Moreover, the nanomaterials exhibit excellent enzyme-mimicking activity when composited with other materials. Therefore, this paper focuses on composite nanozymes with simulated peroxidase activity that have been prepared using noble metals such as Au, Ag, and Pt and other transition metal nanoparticles in recent years. Their simulated enzymatic activity is utilized for biomedical applications such as glucose detection, cancer cell detection and tumor treatment, and antibacterial applications.

Abstract
The intensive investigation of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for tumor eradication revealed that the therapeutic effects of this ROS-mediated therapy are limited by endogenous reductants and inefficient Fenton-like reactions. In this study, we developed a new Fe/Cu-AuNP-PEG nanocomposite to enhance CDT and provide a synergistic treatment for tumors. The Fe/Cu-AuNP-PEG nanocomposite demonstrated effective ˙OH production and high photothermal conversion efficiency under 808 nm illumination, which promoted the ˙OH production, thereby enhancing the CDT efficacy and exhibiting a synergistic treatment for cancer. More importantly, the Fe/Cu-AuNP-PEG nanocomposite showed the ability to deplete GSH and catalyze glucose to generate H2O2, which facilitated the Fenton-like reaction and reduced the antioxidant properties of tumors, further improving the efficacy of CDT. Therefore, the Fe/Cu-AuNP-PEG nanocomposite, with horseradish peroxidase-like, glutathione peroxidase-like, and glucose oxidase-like activities, is a promising anti-tumor agent for integrating enhanced CDT and photothermal therapy (PTT) with the enhancement of synergistic therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Cancer is a significant public health problem in the world. The treatment methods include surgery, chemotherapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy. Due to their respective limitations, the treatment effect is often unsatisfactory, laying hidden dangers for metastasis and recurrence. Since their exceptional biocompatibility and excellent targeting capabilities, hyaluronic acid-based biomaterials have generated great interest as drug delivery methods for tumor therapy. Moreover, modified HA can self-assemble into hydrogels or nanoparticles (NPs) for precise drug administration. This article summarizes the application of HA-based NPs in combination therapy. Ultimately, it is anticipated that this research will offer guidance for creating various HA-based NPs utilized in numerous cancer therapies.

Abstract
Developing bone implants with dynamic self-adjustment of antibacterial, angiogenic, and osteogenic functions in line with a bone regenerative cascade is highly required in orthopedics. Herein, a unique core-shell nanorods array featuring a thin layer of NiS coated on each SrTiO3 nanorod (NiS@SrTiO3) was in situ constructed on titanium (Ti) through a two-step hydrothermal treatment. Under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the photoresponsive effect of NiS layer in synergy with the physical perforation of SrTiO3 nanorods initially enabled in vitro antibacterial rates of 96.5% to Escherichia coli and 93.1% to Staphylococcus aureus. With the degradation of the NiS layer, trace amounts of Ni ions were released, which accelerated angiogenesis by upregulating the expression of vascular regeneration-related factors, while the gradual exposure of SrTiO3 nanorods could simultaneously enhance the surface hydrophilicity in favor of cell adhesion and slowly release Sr ions to promote the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. The in vivo assessment verified not only the satisfactory antibacterial effect but also the superior osteogenic ability of the NiS@SrTiO3/Ti group with the aid of NIR irradiation, finally promoting the osseointegration of the Ti implant. The modification method endowing Ti implant with antibacterial, angiogenic, and osteogenic functions provides a new strategy to improve the long-term reliability of Ti-based devices.

Abstract
Phototheranostics have emerged as a promising subset of cancer theranostics owing to their potential to provide precise photoinduced diagnoses and therapeutic outcomes. However, the design of phototheranostics remains challenging due to the nature of tumors and their microenvironment, including limitations to the oxygen supply, high rates of recurrence and metastasis, and the immunosuppressive state of cancer cells. Here we report a dual-functional oxygen-independent phototheranostic agent, Ni-2, rationally designed to provide a near-infrared (NIR) photoactivated thermal- and hydroxyl radical (•OH)-enhanced photoimmunotherapeutic anticancer response. Under 880 nm laser irradiation, Ni-2 exhibited high photostability and excellent photoacoustic and photothermal effects with a photothermal conversion efficacy of 58.0%, as well as novel photoredox features that allowed the catalytic conversion of H2O2 to •OH upon photooxidation of Ni(II) to Ni(III). As a multifunctional photoagent, Ni-2 was found not only to inhibit tumor growth in a CT26 tumor-bearing mouse model but also to activate an immune response via a combination of photothermal- and H2O2-induced effects. When combined with an antiprogrammed death-ligand 1 (aPD-L1), Ni-2 treatment allowed for the suppression of distant tumor growth and cancer metastasis. Collectively, the present results provide support for the proposition that Ni-2 or its analogues could emerge as useful tools for photoimmunotherapy. They also highlight the potential of appropriately designed 3d transition metal complexes as "all- in-one" phototheranostics.

Abstract
Synergistic therapy combining photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy is considered to be a promising approach to treat cancer, but the precise temperature control of deep tissue remains a great challenge in achieving effective treatment. Herein, a two-dimensional Bi2WO6:Nd3+/Yb3+/Er3+@MoS2 nanoplatform with photothermal and photodynamic functions was constructed, where semiconductor MoS2 serves as both a photothermal agent and a photosensitizer. The photothermal conversion performance and the reactive oxygen species generation capacity of the nanoplatform were validated under the irradiation of 808 nm laser; meanwhile, the two sets of luminescence intensity ratios (IYb3+/INd3+ and IEr3+/INd3+) in the biological window region were selected as near-infrared temperature probes to monitor the heat generated during the photosynergistic process in real time. The feasibility of nanoplatform as an intratissue temperature probe and antibacterial agent was further assessed by vitro experiments, which provides an idea for designing multifunctional photosynergistic therapy nanoplatform.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a typical feature of most solid tumors and has important effects on tumor cells' proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. This is the key factor that leads to poor efficacy of different kinds of therapy including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, etc. In recent years, the construction of hypoxia-relieving functional nanoplatforms through nanotechnology has become a new strategy to reverse the current situation of tumor microenvironment hypoxia and improve the effectiveness of tumor treatment. Here, the main strategies and recent progress in constructing nanoplatforms are focused on to directly carry oxygen, generate oxygen in situ, inhibit mitochondrial respiration, and enhance blood perfusion to alleviate tumor hypoxia. The advantages and disadvantages of these nanoplatforms are compared. Meanwhile, nanoplatforms based on organic and inorganic substances are also summarized and classified. Through the comprehensive overview, it is hoped that the summary of these nanoplatforms for alleviating hypoxia could provide new enlightenment and prospects for the construction of nanomaterials in this field.

Abstract
Cancer phototheranostics have the potential for significantly improving the therapeutic effectiveness, as it can accurately diagnose and treat cancer. However, the current phototheranostic platforms leave much to be desired and are often limited by tumor hypoxia. Herein, a Schottky junction nanozyme has been established between a manganese-bridged cobalt-phthalocyanines complex and Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets (CoPc-Mn/Ti3C2Tx), which can serve as an integrative type I and II photosensitizer for enhancing cancer therapeutic efficacy via a photoacoustic imaging-guided multimodal chemodynamic/photothermal/photodynamic therapy strategy under near-infrared (808 nm) light irradiation. The Schottky junction not only possessed a narrow-bandgap, enhanced electron-hole separation ability and exhibited a potent redox potential but also enabled improved H2O2 and O2 supplying performances in vitro. Accordingly, the AS1411 aptamer-immobilized CoPc-Mn/Ti3C2Tx nanozyme illustrated high accuracy and excellent anticancer efficiency through a multimodal therapy strategy in in vitro and in vivo experiments. This work presents a valuable method for designing and constructing a multifunctional nanocatalytic medicine platform for synergistic cancer therapy of solid tumors.

Abstract
Given the similarity with photocatalysis, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can be defined as ultrasonic (US) catalysis. Encouraged by the principles of photocatalysis and defect chemistry, defect-rich nickel (Ni)-doped cobaltous oxide (Ni-CoO@PEG) porous hexagonal nanosheets have been synthesized as a sonosensitizer. The doping of Ni decreases the band gap that is testified by density functional theory to increase the US-generated charges. Under US irradiation, Ni-CoO@PEG nanosheets produce 1O2 as an active species that is determined by dissolved O2 and electrons. Moreover, the doping also brings abundant oxygen vacancies (OV) that not only are in favor of efficient separation of electron-hole but also enhance the interaction toward O2, boosting 1O2 generation. In addition, Ni-CoO@PEG shows robust mimic catalase (CAT) and peroxidase characterization to effectively improve the intratumor O2 content and oxidation stress. What is more, the nanosheets also possess glucose oxidase activity that can consume glucose to elevate the H2O2/acid level and to block the intracellular energy supply. The tandem nanozyme behaviors would further regulate the tumor microenvironment for assisting anticancer treatment. It is noted that Ni-CoO@PEG reveals a novel half-metallic feature endowing great magnetism and magnetic resonance imaging capacity. The above synergistic treatments exhibit outstanding anticancer performance that also evokes antitumor immunity to suppress metastasis and recurrence, efficiently.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can be described as ultrasonic (US) catalysis. Adequate charge separation is considered as effective means to promote reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, hollow CoP@N-carbon@PEG (CPCs@PEG) nanospheres (∼60 nm) are prepared as sonosensitizers, showing greater ROS generation than pure CoP@PEG under US irradiation. Both 1O2 and ·O2- are activation species that are determined by O2 and electrons. The great SDT performance of CPCs@PEG is ascribed to the heterostructure which promotes the separation and transfer for US-generated electrons and holes. In addition, holes can be further captured by endogenous glucose that is in favor of electron aggregation and ROS generation. Moreover, the consumption of glucose would decrease intracellular ATP for starvation therapy. Given the higher oxidation ability of Co3+, CPCs@PEG nanospheres possess catalase (CAT) activity to convert H2O2 into O2 for assisting ROS generation. Moreover, they also can oxidize glutathione (GSH) as a mimic GSH oxidase to break intratumor redox balance, facilitating oxidative stress. More importantly, the nanocomposites reveal good degradation ability dominated by the oxidation from insoluble phosphide into soluble phosphate, accelerating elimination via urine and feces within 14 days. CPCs@PEG nanospheres integrate the above effects not only to reveal great tumor inhibition ability but also to excite immune activation for anticancer.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a highly promising modality against cancer, but its efficacy is severely limited by the low oxygen content in solid tumors. In this study, a smart photosensitive NiPS3 nanosheet was developed to solve the problem of low oxygen to allow PDT to be performed against tumors. The photosensitized ROS generation mechanism of NiPS3 is the photon-generated electron-hole pathway, which can generate O2 ·- and ·OH at the conduction band and valance band, respectively. More crucial is that ·OH generation doesn't need O2, and the O2 ·- can also work in a low O2 environment, and depleting oxygen in tumor cells. Modified with triphenylphosphine (TPP) and based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental data, the NiPS3@TPP nano-system underwent targeted action toward mitochondria. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by NiPS3@TPP altered mitochondrial membrane permeability, which not only prolonged the PDT effect but also resulted in mitochondria apoptosis pathways inducing an apoptosis cascade. In vivo experiments demonstrated the targeting capability with low toxicity of the NiPS3@TPP nano-system. Tumor targeting at the tested dose indicated that it represented a promising biocompatible photosensitizer for in vivo biomedical applications.

Abstract
Photon radiotherapy is a common tool in the armory against tumors, but it is limited by hypoxia-related radioresistance of tumors and radiotoxicity to normal tissues. Here, we constructed a spatiotemporally controlled synergistic therapy platform based on the heterostructured CuO@Graphdiyne (CuO@GDY) nanocatalyst for simultaneously addressing the two key problems above in radiotherapy. First, the in situ formed Z-scheme CuO@GDY heterojunction performs highly efficient and controlled photocatalytic O2 evolution upon near-infrared (NIR) laser stimulation for tumor hypoxia alleviation. Subsequently, the CuO@GDY nanocatalyst with X-ray-stimulated Cu+ active sites can accelerate Fenton-like catalysis of ·OH production by responding to endogenous H2O2 for the selective killing of tumor cells rather than normal cells. In this way, the sequential combination of NIR-triggered photocatalytic O2 production and X-ray-accelerated Fenton-like reaction can lead to a comprehensive radiosensitization. Overall, this synergism underscores a controllable and precise therapy modality for simultaneously unlocking the hypoxia and non-selectivity in radiotherapy.

Abstract
The rational cocatalyst design is considered a significant route to boost the solar-energy conversion efficiency for photocatalytic H2 generation. However, the traditional cocatalyst-loading on the surface of a photocatalyst easily leads to scarce exposed active sites induced by the agglomeration of cocatalysts and a hindrance of the light absorption of the photocatalyst, thus significantly limiting the enhancement of the photocatalytic H2-generation performance. Herein, a new concept of uniform-embeddable-distributed cocatalysts is put forward. Consequently, uniform-embeddable-distributed cocatalysts of Ni3S2 were designed and constructed inside and outside of the nanosheet-like ZnIn2S4 photocatalyst to form a Ni3S2/ZnIn2S4 binary system (UEDNiS/ZIS). The unique uniform-embeddable-distributed Ni3S2 cocatalyst (UEDNiS) could provide abundant exposed active sites, facilitate the spatial separation and ordered transfer of charges inside and outside of ZnIn2S4 nanosheets, and reduce the hydrogen-adsorption free energy for photocatalytic H2-generation reactions. As a result, UEDNiS/ZIS exhibited a high photocatalytic H2-generation rate of 60 μmol h-1 under visible-light irradiation, almost 7.8 and 2.8 times higher than pristine ZnIn2S4 and the traditional surface-loaded Ni3S2/ZnIn2S4 (TSLNiS/ZIS), respectively. This work represents a new cocatalyst-design approach to realize high-efficiency hydrogen evolution in binary heterostructured photocatalytic systems.

[PMID: 35811069 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Clinical photodynamic therapy (PDT) only has a limited cancer therapeutic effect and typically leads to a more hypoxic milieu owing to the hypoxic conditions of the solid tumor microenvironment that limit the singlet oxygen (1O2), generation. To address this issue, the PDT, in combination with hypoxia-activated prodrugs, has recently been investigated as a possible clinical treatment modality for cancer therapy. By cross-linking the photosensitizer tetra(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphine (THPP) and a 1O2-cleavable thioketal (TK) linker, a multifunctional nanoscale covalent organic framework (COF) platform with a high porphyrin loading capacity was synthesized, which significantly improve the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency and contributes to PDT. As-synthesized THPPTK-PEG nanoparticles (NPs) possess a high THPP photosensitizer content and mesoporous structure for further loading of the hypoxia-responsive prodrug banoxantrone (AQ4N) into the COF with a high-loading content. The nano-carriers surfaces are coated with a thick PEG coating to promote their dispersibility in physiological surroundings and therapeutic performance. When exposed to 660 nm radiation, such a nanoplatform can efficiently create cytotoxic 1O2 for PDT. Similarly, oxygen intake may exacerbate the hypoxic environment of the tumor, inducing the activation of AQ4N to achieve hypoxia-activated cascade chemotherapy and increased treatment efficacy. This study provides a new nanoplatform for photodynamic-chemical synergistic therapy and offers critical new insights for designing and developing a multifunctional supramolecular drug delivery system. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Here, we designed a laser-activated hypoxia-responsive nanoscale COF nanoplatform for hypoxia-activated cascade chemotherapy and PDT. When exposed to laser light, thus this nanoplatform can efficiently create cytotoxic 1O2 for PDT while consuming oxygen at the tumor location. However, increased oxygen consumption can exacerbate the tumor's hypoxic environment, causing AQ4N to become active, allowing for programmed hypoxia-triggered cascade chemotherapy and improved therapeutic efficacy. In addition, this innovative nanoscale COF nanoplatform allows for laser-controlled drug delivery in specific areas, which dramatically improves tumor inhibition. This research suggests a method for attaining ultrasensitive drug release and effective cascade therapy for cancer treatments.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an advanced therapeutic strategy with light-triggered, minimally invasive, high spatiotemporal selective and low systemic toxicity properties, which has been widely used in the clinical treatment of many solid tumors in recent years. Any strategies that improve the three elements of PDT (light, oxygen, and photosensitizers) can improve the efficacy of PDT. However, traditional PDT is confronted some challenges of poor solubility of photosensitizers and tumor suppressive microenvironment. To overcome the related obstacles of PDT, various strategies have been investigated in terms of improving photosensitizers (PSs) delivery, penetration of excitation light sources, and hypoxic tumor microenvironment. In addition, compared with a single treatment mode, the synergistic treatment of multiple treatment modalities such as photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy can improve the efficacy of PDT. This review summarizes recent advances in nanomaterials, including metal nanoparticles, liposomes, hydrogels and polymers, to enhance the efficiency of PDT against malignant tumor.

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 present review aims at highlighting recent advances in the development of photocatalysts devoted to cancer therapy applications. We pay especial attention to the engineering aspects of different nanomaterials including inorganic semiconductors, organic-based nanostructures, noble metal-based systems or synergistic hybrid heterostructures. Furthermore, we also explore and correlate structural and optical properties with their photocatalytic capability to successfully performing in cancer-related therapies. We have made an especial emphasis to introduce current alternatives to organic photosensitizers (PSs) in photodynamic therapy (PDT), where the effective generation of reactive oxidative species (ROS) is pivotal to boost the efficacy of the treatment. We also overview current efforts in other photocatalytic strategies to tackle cancer based on photothermal treatment, starvation therapy, oxidative stress unbalance via glutathione (GSH) depletion, biorthogonal catalysis or local relief of hypoxic conditions in tumor microenvironments (TME).

Abstract
Recent studies found that unbalanced copper homeostasis affect tumor growth, causing irreversible damage. Copper can induce multiple forms of cell death, including apoptosis and autophagy, through various mechanisms, including reactive oxygen species accumulation, proteasome inhibition, and antiangiogenesis. Hence, copper in vivo has attracted tremendous attention and is in the research spotlight in the field of tumor treatment. This review first highlights three typical forms of copper's antitumor mechanisms. Then, the development of diverse biomaterials and nanotechnology allowing copper to be fabricated into diverse structures to realize its theragnostic action is discussed. Novel copper complexes and their clinical applications are subsequently described.

Synergistic interventional photothermal therapy and immunotherapy using an iron oxide nanoplatform for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Acta Biomater 2022; 138:453-462. [PMID: 34757232 PMCID: PMC10960566 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.10.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Revised: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the most lethal malignancy due to its high metastatic ability and poor drug permeability. Here, a synergized interventional photothermal-immunotherapy strategy was developed with imaging guidance and temperature monitoring by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, for the local treatment of metastatic PC. A tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive nanoplatform was fabricated via coating of DSPE-PEG and indocyanine green (ICG) onto imiquimod (IMQ) loaded amorphous iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs). This unique nanoplatform, IMQ@IONs/ICG, served as a contrast agent for MRI, a drug delivery vehicle for IMQ and ICG, and a catalyst for TME modulation. The biodegradable IMQ@IONs/ICG was also non-toxic, and improved the penetration of the loaded drugs in PC to maximize thermal ablation of the tumor and minimize damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. For the treatment of aggressive, metastatic Panc02-H7 pancreatic tumors in mice, ION-assisted MRI was employed to guide the administration of interventional photothermal therapy (IPTT) and monitor the temperature distribution in target tumor and surrounding tissue during treatment. The local IPTT treatment induced in situ immunogenic cell death (ICD), and, in combination with released IMQ, triggered a strong antitumor immunity, leading to decreased metastases and increased CD8+ in spleen and tumors. With precise local treatment and monitoring, treated primary tumors were completely eradicated, mesentery metastases were dramatically reduced, and the survival time was significantly prolonged, without damage to normal tissue and systemic autoimmunity. Overall, this synergistic strategy represents a promising approach to treat PC with significant potential for clinical applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal malignancies because it is non-permeable to drugs and highly metastatic. In this study, we designed a tumor microenvironment-responsive amorphous iron oxide nanoplatform (ION) to co-deliver photothermal agent (ICG) and toll-like-receptor-7 agonist (IMQ). This biodegradable nanoplatform IMQ@IONs/ICG improved the penetration of the loaded drugs in pancreatic tumor. With MR imaging guidance and temperature monitoring, the precise interventional photothermal therapy on mouse Panc02-H7 orthotopic tumors releases tumor antigens to initiate tumor-special immune responses, amplified by the released IMQ. Our results demonstrate that IMQ@IONs/ICG overcomes the obstacle of drug delivery to pancreatic tumors, and when combined with photothermal therapy, induces a systemic antitumor immunity to control metastatic tumors.

Abstract
Recent advances in the synthesis of multifunctional nanomaterials create new opportunities for the rational design of multimodal chemodynamic therapy (CDT) agents. Precisely tailoring the nanostructure and composition of CDT nanoagents for maximum efficacy remains a challenge. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of nanocarbon framework-supported ultrafine Mo2C@MoOx nanoclusters (C/Mo2C@MoOx) via a pyrolysis of a Mo/ZIF-8 MOF precursor at 900 °C followed by mild surface oxidation. The developed C/Mo2C@MoOx composite demonstrated outstanding performance in photothermal-enhanced tumor-specific tandem catalysis therapy. Specifically, C/Mo2C@MoOx efficiently catalyzed the conversion of endogenous H2O2 to cytotoxic 1O2 via a Russell mechanism, while also converting the O2 byproduct to cytotoxic ·O2- via an oxidase-like mechanism. A high dispersion of active Mo5+ sites in the exposed MoOx shell enhanced the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating efficiency of C/Mo2C@MoOx. Moreover, the Mo2C core in the ultrafine Mo2C@MoOx nanoclusters allowed NIR-II (1064 nm)-driven photothermal heating, which significantly boosted the CDT process through photothermal effects. Additionally, the CDT process relied on a redox cycle involving Mo5+/Mo6+ species, which could be sustained by glutathione (GSH) consumption. Given these advantages, C/Mo2C@MoOx demonstrated remarkable synergistic therapeutic efficacy for cancer treatment (both in vitro and in vivo) through tumor microenvironment-stimulated generation of multiple ROS and NIR-II photothermal activity.

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
Light-driven endogenous water oxidation has been considered as an attractive and desirable way to obtain O2 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. However, the use of a second near-infrared (NIR-II) light to achieve endogenous H2O oxidation to alleviate tumor hypoxia and realize deep hypoxic tumor phototherapy is still a challenge. Herein, novel plasmonic Ag-AgCl@Au core-shell nanomushrooms (NMs) were synthesized by the selective photodeposition of plasmonic Au at the bulge sites of the Ag-AgCl nanocubes (NCs) under visible light irradiation. Upon NIR-II light irradiation, the resulting Ag-AgCl@Au NMs could oxidize endogenous H2O to produce O2 to alleviate tumor hypoxia. Almost synchronously, O2 could react with electrons on the conduction band of the AgCl core to generate superoxide radicals (O2•-)for photodynamic therapy. Moreover, Ag-AgCl@Au NMs with an excellent photothermal performance could further promote the phototherapy effect. In vitro and in vivo experimental results show that the resulting Ag-AgCl@Au NMs could significantly improve tumor hypoxia and enhance phototherapy against a hypoxic tumor. The present study provides a new strategy to design H2O-activatable, O2- and ROS-evolving NIR II light-response nanoagents for the highly efficient and synergistic treatment of deep O2-deprived tumor tissue.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) that utilizes Fenton-type reactions to convert endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into hydroxyl radicals (•OH) is a promising strategy in anticancer treatment, but the overexpression of glutathione (GSH) and limited endogenous H2O2 make the efficiency of CDT unsatisfactory. Here, an intelligent nanoplatform CuO2@mPDA/DOX-HA (CPPDH), which induced the depletion of GSH and the self-supply of H2O2, was proposed. When CPPDH entered tumor cells through the targeting effect of hyaluronic acid (HA), a release of Cu2+ and produced H2O2 were triggered by the acidic environment of lysosomes. Then, the Cu2+ was reduced by GSH to Cu+, and the Cu+ catalyzed H2O2 to produce •OH. The generation of •OH could be distinctly enhanced by the GSH depletion and H2O2 self-sufficiency. Besides, an outstanding photothermal therapy (PTT) effect could be stimulated by NIR irradiation on mesoporous polydopamine (mPDA). Meanwhile, mPDA was an excellent photoacoustic reagent, which could monitor the delivery of nanocomposite materials through photoacoustic (PA) imaging. Moreover, the successful delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) realized the integration of chemotherapy, PTT, and CDT. This strategy could solve the problem of insufficient CDT efficacy caused by the limited H2O2 and overexpression of GSH. This multifunctional nanoplatform may open a broad path for self-boosting CDT and synergistic therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been emerged as an alternative therapeutic modality in treatment of several malignant tumors. However, the therapeutic efficacy of PDT is often limited by the solubility of photosensitizers, tumor hypoxia and lack of target specificity to cancer cells. In this study, we developed a folate-conjugated fluorinated polymeric micelle (PFFA) to deliver the hydrophobic photosensitizer (chlorin e6, Ce6) to overcome these limitations. The fluorinated micelles exhibit the low critical micelle concentration, good long-term stability, higher oxygen-carrying capacity and better singlet oxygen generation efficiency compared to non-fluorinated micelles, indicating the potential to improve the PDT efficacy in hypoxic conditions. Cytotoxicity of PDT effect and cellular uptake demonstrate the higher cell growth inhibition to HeLa cells upon irradiation attributed to the selective internalization of Ce6-loaded PFFA micelles (PFFA-Ce6). All results demonstrate the PFFA-Ce6 micelles with targeting function and oxygen-carrying capacity can serve as a promising drug delivery system for hydrophobic photosensitizers and improvement on PDT efficacy.
