Single-Atom Cu Nanozyme-Loaded Bone Scaffolds for Ferroptosis-Synergized Mild Photothermal Therapy in Osteosarcoma Treatment. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2304595.

Abstract
The rapid multiplication of residual tumor cells and poor reconstruction quality of new bone are considered the major challenges in the postoperative treatment of osteosarcoma. It is a promising candidate for composite bone scaffold which combines photothermal therapy (PTT) and bone regeneration induction for the local treatment of osteosarcoma. However, it is inevitable to damage the normal tissues around the tumor due to the hyperthermia of PTT, while mild heat therapy shows a limited effect on antitumor treatment as the damage can be easily repaired by stress-induced heat shock proteins (HSP). This study reports a new type of single-atom Cu nanozyme-loaded bone scaffolds, which exhibit exceptional photothermal conversion properties as well as peroxidase and glutathione oxidase mimicking activities in vitro experiments. This leads to lipid peroxidation (LPO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) upregulation, ultimately causing ferroptosis. The accumulation of LPO and ROS also contributes to HSP70 inactivation, maximizing PTT efficiency against tumors at an appropriate therapeutic temperature and minimizing the damage to surrounding normal tissues. Further, the bone scaffold promotes bone regeneration via a continuous release of bioactive ions (Ca2+, P5+, Si4+, and Cu2+). The results of in vivo experiments reveal that scaffolds inhibit tumor growth and promote bone repair.

Abstract
The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME) of osteosarcoma (OS) poses a significant obstacle to the efficacy of existing immunotherapies. Despite the attempt of novel immune strategies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and tumor vaccines, their effectiveness remains suboptimal due to the inherent difficulty in mitigating ITME simultaneously from both the tumor and immune system. The promotion of anti-tumor immunity through the induction of immunogenic cell death and activation of the cGAS-STING pathway has emerged as potential strategies to counter the ITME and stimulate systemic antitumor immune responses. Here, a bimetallic polyphenol-based nanoplatform (Mn/Fe-Gallate nanoparticles coated with tumor cell membranes is presented, MFG@TCM) which combines with mild photothermal therapy (PTT) for reversing ITME via simultaneously inducing pyroptosis in OS cells and activating the cGAS-STING pathway in dendritic cells (DCs). The immunostimulatory pathways, through the syngeneic effect, exerted a substantial positive impact on promoting the secretion of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and proinflammatory cytokines, which favors remodeling the immune microenvironment. Consequently, effector T cells led to a notable antitumor immune response, effectively inhibiting the growth of both primary and distant tumors. This study proposes a new method for treating OS using mild PTT and immune mudulation, showing promise in overcoming current treatment limitations.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) showcase not only uniformly dispersed active sites but also meticulously engineered coordination structures. These intricate architectures bestow upon them an exceptional catalytic prowess, thereby captivating numerous minds and heralding a new era of possibilities in the biomedical landscape. Tuning the microstructure of SAzymes on the atomic scale is a key factor in designing targeted SAzymes with desirable functions. This review first discusses and summarizes three strategies for designing SAzymes and their impact on reactivity in biocatalysis. The effects of choices of carrier, different synthesis methods, coordination modulation of first/second shell, and the type and number of metal active centers on the enzyme-like catalytic activity are unraveled. Next, a first attempt is made to summarize the biological applications of SAzymes in tumor therapy, biosensing, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and other biological applications from different mechanisms. Finally, how SAzymes are designed and regulated for further realization of diverse biological applications is reviewed and prospected. It is envisaged that the comprehensive review presented within this exegesis will furnish novel perspectives and profound revelations regarding the biomedical applications of SAzymes.

Abstract
Although plant-derived cancer therapeutic products possess great promise in clinical translations, they still suffer from quick degradation and low targeting rates. Herein, based on the oxygen vacancy (OV)-immobilization strategy, an OV-enriched biodegradable silicate nanoplatform with atomically dispersed Fe/Mn active species and polyethylene glycol modification was innovated for loading gallic acid (GA) (noted as FMMPG) for intratumoral coordination-enhanced multicatalytic cancer therapy. The OV-enriched FMMPG nanozymes with a narrow band gap (1.74 eV) can be excited by a 650 nm laser to generate reactive oxygen species. Benefiting from the Mn-O bond in response to the tumor microenvironment (TME), the silicate skeleton in FMMPG collapses and completely degrades after 24 h. The degraded metal M (M = Fe, Mn) ions and released GA can in situ produce a stable M-GA nanocomplex at tumor sites. Importantly, the formed M-GA with strong reductive ability can transform H2O2 into the fatal hydroxyl radical, causing serious oxidative damage to the tumor. The released Fe3+ and Mn2+ can serve as enhanced contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, which can track the chemodynamic and photodynamic therapy processes. The work offers a reasonable strategy for a TME-responsive degradation and intratumoral coordination-enhanced multicatalytic therapy founded on bimetallic silicate nanozymes to achieve desirable tumor theranostic outcomes.

Abstract
Nanozymes with intrinsic enzyme-mimicking activities have shown great potential to become surrogates of natural enzymes in many fields by virtue of their advantages of high catalytic stability, ease of functionalization, and low cost. However, due to the lack of predictable descriptors, most of the nanozymes reported in the past have been obtained mainly through trial-and-error strategies, and the catalytic efficacy, substrate specificity, as well as practical application effect under physiological conditions, are far inferior to that of natural enzymes. To optimize the catalytic efficacies and functions of nanozymes in biomedical settings, recent studies have introduced biosystem-inspired strategies into nanozyme design. In this review, recent advances in the engineering of biosystem-inspired nanozymes by leveraging the refined catalytic structure of natural enzymes, simulating the behavior changes of natural enzymes in the catalytic process, and mimicking the specific biological processes or living organisms, are introduced. Furthermore, the currently involved biomedical applications of biosystem-inspired nanozymes are summarized. More importantly, the current opportunities and challenges of the design and application of biosystem-inspired nanozymes are discussed. It is hoped that the studies of nanozymes based on bioinspired strategies will be beneficial for constructing the new generation of nanozymes and broadening their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is a promising mainstream approach in anti-tumor therapy. It boasts advantages such as durable responses and lower side effects. However, there are still some limitations to be addressed. Current cancer immunotherapy has shown low response rates due to inadequate immunogenicity of certain tumor cells. To address these challenges, an acid-specific nanoreactor was developed, designed to induce immunogenicity by triggering ferroptosis in tumor cells. The nanoreactor integrates glucose oxidase (GOx) with a single-atom nanoenzyme (SAE), which exhibits high peroxidase (POD)-like activity in the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME). This specific acid-sensitivity transforms endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH). GOx enhances the POD-like SAE activity in the nanoreactor by metabolizing glucose in tumor cells, producing gluconic acid and H2O2. This nanoreactor induces high levels of oxidative stress within tumor cells through the synergistic action of SAE and GOx, leading to depletion of GSH and subsequently triggering ferroptosis. The resulting nanoreactor-induced ferroptosis leads to immunogenic cell death (ICD) and significantly recruits T lymphocyte infiltration in tumor tissues. This study was designed with the concept of triggering ferroptosis-dependent ICD mechanism in bladder cancer cells, and developed an acid-specific nanoreactor to enhance the immunotherapy efficacy for bladder cancer, which introduces a novel approach for immunotherapy of bladder cancer.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in medical technology and antitumour treatments, the diagnosis and treatment of tumours have undergone remarkable transformations. Noninvasive phototherapy methods, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), have gained significant interest in antitumour medicine. However, traditional photosensitisers or photothermal agents face challenges like immune system recognition, rapid clearance from the bloodstream, limited tumour accumulation, and phototoxicity concerns. Researchers combine photosensitisers or photothermal agents with natural cell membranes to overcome these obstacles to create a nano biomimetic therapeutic platform. When used to coat nanoparticles, red blood cells, platelets, cancer cells, macrophages, lymphocytes, and bacterial outer membranes could provide prolonged circulation, tumour targeting, immune stimulation, or antigenicity. This article covers the principles of cellular membrane biomimetic nanotechnology and phototherapy, along with recent advancements in applying nano biomimetic technology to PDT, PTT, PCT, and combined diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, the challenges and issues of using nano biomimetic nanoparticles in phototherapy are discussed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Currently, there has been significant progress in the field of cell membrane biomimetic technology. Researchers are exploring its potential application in tumor diagnosis and treatment through phototherapy. Scholars have conducted extensive research on combining cell membrane technology and phototherapy in anticancer diagnosis and treatment. This review aims to highlight the mechanisms of phototherapy and the latest advancements in single phototherapy (PTT, PDT) and combination phototherapy (PCT, PRT, and PIT), as well as diagnostic approaches. The review provides an overview of various cell membrane technologies, including RBC membranes, platelet membranes, macrophage cell membranes, tumour cell membranes, bacterial membranes, hybrid membranes, and their potential for anticancer applications under phototherapy. Lastly, the review discusses the challenges and future directions in this field.

Abstract
Mild-temperature photothermal therapy (mPTT) has shown some advantages over traditional photothermal therapy, such as reducing the damage to surrounding healthy tissues and minimizing side effects. Nevertheless, cancer cells can easily repair damage caused by mild hyperthermia due to heat shock proteins (HSPs). Thus, it is imperative to maximize the mPTT efficiency by down-regulating HSPs overexpression and combining other cancer treatments. Herein, we report the synthesis of phytic acid (PA)-Cu2+ framework/copper sulfide (Cu2-xS) nanocomposites (abbreviated as PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs) as the novel therapeutic platform that can down-regulate HSPs overexpression for enhanced multimodal mPTT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/chemotherapy. PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs were prepared through self-assembly and in-situ vulcanization strategy, resulting in irregular-shaped particles with an approximate size of 100 nm. PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs display a plasmon effect from Cu2-xS, which enhances near-infrared (NIR) absorption and possesses excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (41.7%). Moreover, PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs exhibit Fenton-like reaction activity resulting from the Cu ions for CDT, and the reaction activity can be further improved 1.3 times due to mild hyperthermia during mPTT. Furthermore, the generated hydroxyl radical (•OH) can effectively decrease HSPs level to enhance mPTT. PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs can also serve as a drug delivery system, and they are capable of loading doxorubicin (DOX) with a loading ability (20.7%). Combining mPTT/CDT/chemotherapy exhibits significant inhibition of tumor growth. This approach can serve as a basis for designing more exquisite platforms that combine mPTT with other therapies to achieve more effective cancer treatment.

Abstract
Introduction Insufficient tumor permeability and inadequate nanoparticle retention continue to be significant limitations in the efficacy of anti-tumor drug therapy. Numerous studies have focused on enhancing tumor perfusion by improvement of tumor-induced endothelial leakage, often known as the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. However, these approaches have produced suboptimal therapeutic outcomes and have been associated with significant side effects. Therefore, in this study, we prepared tumor cell membrane-coated gold nanorods (GNR@TM) to enhance drug delivery in tumors through homogeneous targeting of tumor cell membranes and in situ real-time photo-controlled therapy. Methods Here, we fabricated GNR@TM, and characterized it using various techniques including Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer, particle size analysis, potential measurement, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of GNR@TM were analyzed by flow cytometry, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), TEM, CCK8 assay and live/dead staining. Tissue drug distribution was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and immunofluorescence staining. Furthermore, to evaluate the therapeutic effect, mice bearing MB49 tumors were intravenously administered with GNR@TM. Subsequently, near-infrared (NIR) laser therapy was performed, and the mice's tumor growth and body weight were monitored. Results The tumor cell membrane coating endowed GNR@TM with extended circulation time in vivo and homotypic targeting to tumor, thereby enhancing the accumulation of GNR@TM within tumors. Upon 780 nm laser, GNR@TM exhibited excellent photothermal conversion capability, leading to increased tumor vascular leakage. This magnification of the EPR effect induced by NIR laser further increased the accumulation of GNR@TM at the tumor site, demonstrating strong antitumor effects in vivo. Conclusion In this study, we successfully developed a NIR-triggered nanomedicine that increased drug accumulation in tumor through photo-controlled therapy and homotypic targeting of the tumor cell membrane. GNR@TM has been demonstrated effective suppression of tumor growth, excellent biocompatibility, and significant potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
In addition to hemostasis and coagulation, years of studies have proved that platelets are involved in the whole process of tumor progression, including tumor invasion, intravasation, extravasation, and so on. It means that this property of platelets can be used in anti-tumor therapy. However, traditional platelet-based antitumor drugs often cause autologous platelet damage due to lack of targeting, resulting in serious side effects. Therefore, the researchers designed a variety of anti-tumor drug delivery systems based on platelets by targeting platelets or platelet membrane coating. The drug delivery systems have special response modes, which is crucial in the design of nanoparticles. These modes enhance the targeting and improve the anti-tumor effect. Here, we present a review of recent discoveries in the field of the crosstalk between platelets and tumors and the progress of platelet-based anti-tumor nanoparticles.

Abstract
Platelets are a class of pluripotent cells that, in addition to hemostasis and maintaining vascular endothelial integrity, are also involved in tumor growth and distant metastasis. The tumor microenvironment is a complex and comprehensive system composed of tumor cells and their surrounding immune and inflammatory cells, tumor-related fibroblasts, nearby interstitial tissues, microvessels, and various cytokines and chemokines. As an important member of the tumor microenvironment, platelets can promote tumor invasion and metastasis through various mechanisms. Understanding the role of platelets in tumor metastasis is important for diagnosing the risk of metastasis and prolonging survival. In this study, we more fully elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which platelets promote tumor growth and metastasis by modulating processes, such as immune escape, angiogenesis, tumor cell homing, and tumor cell exudation, and further summarize the effects of platelet-tumor cell interactions in the tumor microenvironment and possible tumor treatment strategies based on platelet studies. Our summary will more comprehensively and clearly demonstrate the role of platelets in tumor metastasis, so as to help clinical judgment of the potential risk of metastasis in cancer patients, with a view to improving the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
In developing countries, the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is on the rise. The combination of programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) siRNA (siPD-L1) and mild photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising strategy for CRC treatment. In this study, dopamine-modified polyethylenimine (PEI) was prepared to fabricate an IR780 and siPD-L1 codelivery lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticle (lip@PSD-siP) for the photothermal immunotherapy of CRC. The modification of dopamine can significantly reduce the cytotoxicity of PEI. lip@PSD-siP can be effectively taken up by CT26 cells and successfully escaped from lysosomes after entering the cells for 4 h. After CT26 cells were transfected with lip@PSD-siP, the PD-L1 positive cell rate decreased by 82.4%, and its PD-L1 knockdown effect was significantly stronger than the positive control Lipo3000-siP. In vivo studies showed that lip@PSD-siP-mediated mild PTT and efficient PD-L1 knockdown exhibited primary and distal tumor inhibition, metastasis delay, and rechallenged tumor inhibition. The treatment with lip@PSD-siP significantly promoted the maturation of dendritic cells in lymph nodes. The amount of T cell infiltration in the tumor tissues increased significantly, and the frequency of CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T cells was significantly higher than that of other groups. The percentage of immunosuppressive regulatory cells (Tregs) in the tumor tissue on the treatment side decreased by 88% compared to the PBS group, and the proportion of CD8+CD69+ T cells in the distal tumor tissue was 2.8 times that of the PBS group. The memory T cells of mice in the long-term antitumor model were analyzed. The results showed that after treatment with lip@PSD-siP, the frequency of effector memory T cells (Tem cells) significantly increased, suggesting the formation of immune memory.

Abstract
Mild-temperature photothermal therapy (mild PTT) is a safe and efficient antitumor therapy. However, mild PTT alone usually fails to activate the immune response and prevent tumor metastasis. Herein, a photothermal agent, copper sulfide@ovalbumin (CuS@OVA), with an effective PTT effect in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window, is developed. CuS@OVA can optimize the tumor microenvironment (TME) and evoke an adaptive immune response. Copper ions are released in the acidic TME to promote the M1 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages. The model antigen OVA not only acts as a scaffold for nanoparticle growth but also promotes the maturation of dendritic cells, which primes naive T cells to stimulate adaptive immunity. CuS@OVA augments the antitumor efficiency of the immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in vivo, which suppresses tumor growth and metastasis in a mouse melanoma model. The proposed therapeutic platform, CuS@OVA nanoparticles, may be a potential adjuvant for optimizing the TME and improving the efficiency of ICB as well as other antitumor immunotherapies.

Abstract
Arming activatable mild-photothermal therapy (PTT) with the property of relieving tumor thermotolerance holds great promise for overcoming traditional mild PTT limitations such as thermoresistance, insufficient therapeutic effect, and off-target heating. Herein, a mitochondria-targeting, defect-engineered AFCT nanozyme with enhanced multi-enzymatic activity was elaborately designed as a tumor microenvironment (TME)-activatable phototheranostic agent to achieve remarkable anti-tumor therapy via "electron transport chain (ETC) interference and synergistic adjuvant therapy". Density functional theory calculations revealed that the synergistic effect among multi-enzyme active centers endows the AFCT nanozymes with excellent catalytic activity. In TME, open sources of H2O2 can be achieved by superoxide dismutase-mimicking AFCT nanozymes. In response to the dual stimuli of H2O2 and mild acidity, the peroxidase-mimicking activity of AFCT nanozymes not only catalyzes the accumulation of H2O2 to generate ·OH but also converts the loaded 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) into its oxidized form with strong near-infrared absorption, specifically unlocking its photothermal and photoacoustic imaging properties. Intriguingly, the undesired thermoresistance of tumor cells can be greatly alleviated owing to the reduced expression of heat shock proteins enabled by NADH POD-mimicking AFCT-mediated NADH depletion and consequent restriction of ATP supply. Meanwhile, the accumulated ·OH can facilitate both apoptosis and ferroptosis in tumor cells, resulting in synergistic therapeutic outcomes in combination with TME-activated mild PTT.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells and modulate the essential metabolic functions required for cellular survival. Various mitochondrial pathways, such as oxidative phosphorylation or production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are dysregulated during cancer growth and development, rendering them attractive targets against cancer. Thus, the delivery of antitumor agents to mitochondria has emerged as a potential approach for treating cancer. Recent advances in nanotechnology have provided innovative solutions for overcoming the physical barriers posed by the structure of mitochondrial organelles, and have enabled the development of efficient mitochondrial nanoplatforms. In this review, we examine the importance of mitochondria during neoplastic development, explore the most recent smart designs of nano-based systems aimed at targeting mitochondria, and highlight key mitochondrial pathways in cancer cells.

Abstract
With the booming development of nanomedicine, mild photothermal therapy (mPTT, 42-45°C) has exhibited promising potential in tumor therapy. Compared with traditional PTT (>50°C), mPTT has less side effects and better biological effects conducive to tumor treatment, such as loosening the dense structure in tumor tissues, enhancing blood perfusion, and improving the immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, such a relatively low temperature cannot allow mPTT to completely eradicate tumors, and therefore, substantial efforts have been conducted to optimize the application of mPTT in tumor therapy. This review extensively summarizes the latest advances of mPTT, including two sections: (1) taking mPTT as a leading role to maximize its effect by blocking the cell defense mechanisms, and (2) regarding mPTT as a supporting role to assist other therapies to achieve synergistic antitumor curative effect. Meanwhile, the special characteristics and imaging capabilities of nanoplatforms applied in various therapies are discussed. At last, this paper puts forward the bottlenecks and challenges in the current research path of mPTT, and possible solutions and research directions in future are proposed correspondingly.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme) is the hot topic of the current nanozyme research. Its intrinsic properties, such as high activity, stability, and low cost, present great substitutes to natural enzymes. Moreover, its fundamental characteristics, i.e., maximized atom utilizations and well-defined geometric and electronic structures, lead to higher catalytic activities and specificity than traditional nanozymes. SAzymes have been applied in many biomedical areas, such as anti-tumor therapy, biosensing, antibiosis, and anti-oxidation therapy. Here, we will discuss a series of representative examples of SAzymes categorized by their biomedical applications in this review. In the end, we will address the future opportunities and challenges SAzymes facing in their designs and applications.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:998571.

Abstract
Due to its responsiveness to the tumour microenvironment (TME), chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on the Fenton reaction to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to destroy tumor has drawn more interest. However, the Fenton's reaction potential for therapeutic use is constrained by its modest efficacy. Here, we develop a novel injectable hydrogel system (FMH) on the basis of FeGA/MoS2 dual quantum dots (QDs), which uses near-infrared (NIR) laser in order to trigger the synergistic catalysis and photothermal effect of FeGA/MoS2 for improving the efficiency of the Fenton reaction. Mo4+ in MoS2 QDs can accelerate the conversion of Fe3+ to Fe2+, thereby promoting the efficiency of Fenton reaction, and benefiting from the synergistically enhanced CDT/PTT, FMH combined with NIR has achieved good anti-tumour effects in vitro and in vivo experiments. Furthermore, the quantum dots are easily metabolized after treatment because of their ultrasmall size, without causing any side effects. This is the first report to study the co-catalytic effect of MoS2 and Fe3+ at the quantum dot level, as well as obtain a good PTT/CDT synergy, which have implications for future anticancer research.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with intrinsic natural enzyme-like catalytic properties. They have received extensive attention and have the potential to be an alternative to natural enzymes. Increasing the atom utilization rate of active centers in nanozymes has gradually become a concern of scientists. As the limit of designing nanozymes at the atomic level, single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) have become the research frontier of the biomedical field recently because of their high atom utilization, well-defined active centers, and good natural enzyme mimicry. In this review, we first introduce the preparation of SAzymes through pyrolysis and defect engineering with regulated activity, then the characterization and surface modification methods of SAzymes are introduced. The possible influences of surface modification on the activity of SAzymes are discussed. Furthermore, we summarize the applications of SAzymes in the biomedical fields, especially in those of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and antibacterial. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of SAzymes are summarized and prospected.

Abstract
Recent advances in nanotechnologies for cancer diagnosis and treatment have received considerable attention worldwide. Nanoparticles are being used to create nanodrugs and probes to diagnose and treat a variety of diseases, including cancer. Nanomedicines have unique advantages, such as increased surface-to-volume ratios, which enable them to interact with, absorb, and deliver small biomolecules to a very specific target, thereby improving the effectiveness of both probes and drugs. Nanoprobe biotechnology also plays an important role in the discovery of novel cancer biomarkers, and nanoprobes have become an important part of early clinical diagnosis of cancer. Various organic and inorganic nanomaterials have been developed as biomolecular carriers for the detection of disease biomarkers. Thus, we designed this review to evaluate the advances in nanoprobe technology in tumor diagnosis.
