Abstract
Copper plays critical roles as a metal active site cofactor and metalloallosteric signal for enzymes involved in cell proliferation and metabolism, making it an attractive target for cancer therapy. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs), classically applied for metal removal from water, as a therapeutic strategy for depleting intracellular labile copper pools in triple-negative breast cancer models through the metal-chelating groups present on the PDA surface. By using the activity-based sensing probe FCP-1, we could track the PDA-induced labile copper depletion while leaving total copper levels unchanged and link it to the selective MDA-MB-231 cell death. Further mechanistic investigations revealed that PDA NPs increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, potentially through the inactivation of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), a copper-dependent antioxidant enzyme. Additionally, PDA NPs were found to interact with the mitochondrial membrane, resulting in an increase in the mitochondrial membrane potential, which may contribute to enhanced ROS production. We employed an in vivo tumor model to validate the therapeutic efficacy of PDA NPs. Remarkably, in the absence of any additional treatment, the presence of PDA NPs alone led to a significant reduction in tumor volume by a factor of 1.66 after 22 days of tumor growth. Our findings highlight the potential of PDA NPs as a promising therapeutic approach for selectively targeting cancer by modulating copper levels and inducing oxidative stress, leading to tumor growth inhibition as shown in these triple-negative breast cancer models.

Abstract
The equilibrium geometry structures and light absorption properties of the dopamine (DA) and dopamine-o-quinone (DAQ) adsorbed on the graphene surface have been investigated using the ground state and linear-response time-dependent density functional theories. Two types of graphene systems were considered, a rectangular form of hexagonal lattice with optimized C-C bond length as the model system for graphene nanoparticles (GrNP) and a similar system but with fixed C-C bond length (1.42 Å) as the model system for graphene 2D sheet (GrS). The analysis of the vertical excitations showed that three types of electronic transitions are possible, namely, localized on graphene, localized on the DA or DAQ, and charge transfer (CT). In the case of the graphene-DA complex, the charge transfer excitations were characterized by the molecule-to-surface (MSCT) character, whereas the graphene-DAQ was characterized by the reverse, i.e. surface-to-molecule (SMCT). The difference between the two cases is given by the presence of an energetically low-lying unoccupied orbital (LUMO+1) that allows charge transfer from the surface to the molecule in the case of DAQ. However, it was also shown that the fingerprints of excited electronic states associated with the adsorbed molecules cannot be seen in the spectrum, as they are mostly suppressed by the characteristic spectral shape of graphene.

Abstract
Organic fluorescent materials (OFMs) play a crucial role in the development of biosensors, enabling the extraction of biochemical information within cells and organisms, extending to the human body. Concurrently, OFM biosensors contribute significantly to the progress of modern medical and biological research. However, the practical applications of OFM biosensors face challenges, including issues related to low resolution, dispersivity, and stability. To overcome these challenges, scientists have introduced interactive elements to enhance the order of OFMs. Highly-ordered assembled OFMs represent a novel material type applied to biosensors. In comparison to conventional fluorescent materials, highly-ordered assembled OFMs typically exhibit robust anti-diffusion properties, high imaging contrast, and excellent stability. This approach has emerged as a promising method for effectively tracking bio-signals, particularly in the non-invasive monitoring of chronic diseases. This review introduces several highly-ordered assembled OFMs used in biosensors and also discusses various interactions that are responsible for their assembly, such as hydrogen bonding, π-π interaction, dipole-dipole interaction, and ion electrostatic interaction. Furthermore, it delves into the various applications of these biosensors while addressing the drawbacks that currently limit their commercial application. This review aims to provide a theoretical foundation for designing high-performance, highly-ordered assembled OFM biosensors suitable for practical applications. Additionally, it sheds light on the evolving trends in OFM biosensors and their application fields, offering valuable insights into the future of this dynamic research area.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a diagnostic modality that combines the high contrast resolution of optical imaging with the high tissue penetration of ultrasound. While certain endogenous chromophores can be visualized via PA imaging, many diagnostic assessments require the administration of external probes. Anisotropic gold nanoparticles are particularly valued as contrast agents, since they produce strong PA signals and do not photobleach. However, the synthesis of anisotropic nanoparticles typically requires cytotoxic reagents, which can hinder their biological application. In this work, we developed new PA probes based on nanostar cores and polymeric shells. These AuNS were obtained through one-pot synthesis with biocompatible Good's buffers, and were subsequently functionalized with polyethylene glycol, chitosan or melanin, three coatings widely used in (pre)clinical research. Notably, the structural features of the nanostar cores strongly affected the PA signal. For instance, despite displaying similar sizes (i.e. 45 nm), AuNS obtained with MOPS buffer generated between 2 and 3-fold greater signal intensities in the region between 700 and 800 nm than nanostars obtained with HEPES and EPPS buffers, and up to 25-fold stronger signals than spherical gold nanoparticles. A point source analytical model demonstrated that AuNS synthesized with MOPS displayed greater absorption coefficients than the other particles, corroborating the stronger PA responses. Furthermore, the AuNS shell not only improved the biocompatibility of the nanoconstructs but also affected their performance, with melanin coating enhancing the signal more than 4-fold, due to its own PA capacity, as demonstrated by both in vitro and ex vivo imaging. Taken together, these results highlight the strengths of gold nanoconstructs as PA probes and offer insights into the design rules for the nanoengineering of new nanodiagnostic agents.

Abstract
Taking advantage of its adhesive nature and chemical reactivity, polydopamine (PDA) has recently been integrated with plasmonic nanoparticles to yield unprecedented hybrid nanostructures. With advanced architectures and optical properties, PDA-based plasmonic nanocomposites have showcased their potential in a wide spectrum of plasmon-driven applications, ranging from catalysis and chemical sensing, to drug delivery and photothermal therapy. The rational design of PDA-based plasmonic nanocomposites entails different material features of PDA and necessitates a thorough understanding of the sophisticated PDA chemistry; yet, there is still a lack of a systematic review on their fabrication strategies, plasmonic properties, and applications. In this Highlight review, five representative types of PDA-based plasmonic nanocomposites will be featured. Specifically, their design principles, synthetic strategies, and optical behaviors will be elucidated with an emphasis on the irreplaceable roles of PDA in the synthetic mechanisms. Together, their essential functions in diverse applications will be outlined. Lastly, existing challenges and outlooks on the rational design and assembly of next-generation PDA-based plasmonic nanocomposites will be presented. This Highlight review aims to provide synthetic insights and hints to inspire and aid researchers to innovate PDA-based plasmonic nanocomposites.

Abstract
In this study, a multifunctional therapeutic agent combining chemotherapy and photothermal therapy on a single platform has been developed in the form of vinorelbine-loaded polydopamine-coated iron oxide nanoparticles. Vinorelbine (VNB) is loaded on the surface of iron oxide nanoparticles produced by a solvothermal technique after coating with polydopamine (PDA) with varying weight ratios as a result of dopamine polymerisation and covalent bonding of thiol-polyethylene glycol (SH-PEG). The VNB/PDA/Fe3O4 nanoparticles have a saturation magnetisation value of 60.40 emu/g in vibrating sample magnetometry, which proves their magnetisation. Vinorelbine, which is used as an effective cancer therapy agent, is included in the nanocomposite structure, and in vitro drug release studies under different pH conditions (pH 5.5 and 7.4) and photothermal activity at 808 nm NIR laser irradiation are investigated. The comprehensive integration of precise multifunctional nanoparticles design, magnetic response, and controlled drug release with photothermal effect brings a different perspective to advanced cancer treatment research.

Abstract
Synthetic melanin is a mimic of natural melanin analogue with intriguing properties such as metal-ion chelation, redox activity, adhesion, and broadband absorption. Melanin-inspired composite materials are formulated by assembly of melanin with other types of inorganic and organic components to target, combine, and build up the functionality, far beyond their natural capabilities. Developing efficient and universal methodologies to prepare melanin-based composite materials with unique functionality is vital for their further applications. In this review, we summarize three types of synthetic approaches, predoping, surface engineering, and physical blending, to access various melanin-inspired composite materials with distinctive structure and properties. The applications of melanin-inspired composite materials in free radical scavenging, bioimaging, antifouling, and catalytic applications are also reviewed. This review also concludes current challenges that must be addressed and research opportunities in future studies.

Abstract
The inefficient delivery of antimicrobials to their target is a significant factor contributing to antibiotic resistance. As such, smart nanomaterials that respond to external stimuli are extensively explored for precise drug delivery. Here, we investigate how drug loading methods and the structure of antibiotics impact the effectiveness of photothermally active polydopamine nanoparticles (PDNPs) as a laser-responsive drug delivery system. We examine two loading methods: in-synthesis and post-synthesis, and evaluate how laser irradiation affects drug release. Density functional theory calculations are also performed to gain deeper insights into the drug-PDNP interactions. Our findings point to the critical role of antibiotic structure and drug loading method in the laser-responsive capabilities of PDNPs as drug nanocarriers. Our study offers valuable insights for optimizing the design and efficiency of PDNP-based drug delivery systems.

Abstract
When impaired bones are grafted with bone scaffolds, the behaviors of osteoblast are dependent on the implant materials and surface morphology. To this end, we modulated the surface morphology of scaffolds that promote cell growth. In this study, ice-template and spraying method methods are employed to coat different proportions of PDA and PPy over the PLA/PVA weaving scaffolds, after which HA is Coated over via the electrochemical deposition, forming weaving scaffolds with electrically conductive PDA/PPy/HA coating. The test results indicate that with a PPy/PDA concentration ratio is 30, the PPy particles are more uniformly distributed on the fiber surface. The scaffolds are wrapped in a HA coating layer with a high purity, and calcium and phosphorus elements are evenly dispersed with a Ca/P ratio being 1.69. Owing to the synergistic effect between PDA and PPy coating, the scaffolds demonstrate excellent electrochemical stability and electrochemical activity. The biological activity of the scaffold increased to 274.66% under electrical stimulation. The new thinking proposed by this study extends the worth of applying textile structure to the medical field, the application of which highly increases the prospect of bone tissue engineering.

Oxidative Stress in Xenograft Mouse Model Exposed to Dendrimers Decorated Polydopamine Nanoparticles and Targeted Chemo- and Photothermal Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16565. [PMID: 38068888 PMCID: PMC10706671 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242316565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA)-based nanostructures are used for biomedical purposes. A hybrid drug nanocarrier based on a PDA decorated with polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers G 3.0 (DG3) followed by a connection with glycol (PEG) moieties, folic acid (FA), and drug doxorubicin (DOX) was used for combined chemo- and photothermal therapy (CT-PTT) of liver cancer. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the development of cancer, and PDA seems to have the ability to both donate and accept electrons. We investigated oxidative stress in organs by evaluating oxidative stress markers in vivo. In the liver, the level of reduced glutathione (GSH) was lower and the level of Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) was higher in the group receiving doxorubicin encapsulated in PDA nanoparticles with phototherapy (PDA@DG3@PEG@FA@DOX + PTT) compared to the control group. The concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in livers, was higher in the group receiving PDA coated with PAMAM dendrimers and functionalized with PEG and FA (PDA@DG3@PEG@FA) than in other groups. Markers in the brain also showed lower levels of GSH in the PDA@DG3@PEG@FA group than in the control group. Markers of oxidative stress indicated changes in the organs of animals receiving PDA nanoparticles with PAMAM dendrimers functionalized with FA in CT-PTT of liver cancer under in vivo conditions. Our work will provide insights into oxidative stress, which can be an indicator of the toxic potential of PDA nanoparticles and provide new strategies to improve existing therapies.

Abstract
Mixed manganese-zinc ferrite nanoparticles coated with PEG were studied for their potential usefulness in MRI thermometry as temperature-sensitive contrast agents. Particles in the form of an 8.5 nm core coated with a 3.5 nm layer of PEG were fabricated using a newly developed, one-step method. The composition of Mn0.48Zn0.46Fe2.06O4 was found to have a strong thermal dependence of magnetization in the temperature range between 5 and 50 °C. Nanoparticles suspended in an agar gel mimicking animal tissue and showing non-significant impact on cell viability in the biological test were studied with NMR and MRI over the same temperature range. For the concentration of 0.017 mg/mL of Fe, the spin-spin relaxation time T2 increased from 3.1 to 8.3 ms, while longitudinal relaxation time T1 shows a moderate decrease from 149.0 to 125.1 ms. A temperature map of the phantom exposed to the radial temperature gradient obtained by heating it with an 808 nm laser was calculated from T2 weighted spin-echo differential MR images. Analysis of temperature maps yields thermal/spatial resolution of 3.2 °C at the distance of 2.9 mm. The experimental relaxation rate R2 data of water protons were compared with those obtained from calculations using a theoretical model incorporating the motion averaging regime.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023:e2306137.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) and magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) using 2D nanomaterials (2DnMat) have recently emerged as promising alternative treatments for cancer and bacterial infections, both important global health challenges. The present review intends to provide not only a comprehensive overview, but also an integrative approach of the state-of-the-art knowledge on 2DnMat for PTT and MHT of cancer and infections. High surface area, high extinction coefficient in near-infra-red (NIR) region, responsiveness to external stimuli like magnetic fields, and the endless possibilities of surface functionalization, make 2DnMat ideal platforms for PTT and MHT. Most of these materials are biocompatible with mammalian cells, presenting some cytotoxicity against bacteria. However, each material must be comprehensively characterized physiochemically and biologically, since small variations can have significant biological impact. Highly efficient and selective in vitro and in vivo PTTs for the treatment of cancer and infections are reported, using a wide range of 2DnMat concentrations and incubation times. MHT is described to be more effective against bacterial infections than against cancer therapy. Despite the promising results attained, some challenges remain, such as improving 2DnMat conjugation with drugs, understanding their in vivo biodegradation, and refining the evaluation criteria to measure PTT or MHT effects.

Limitation of the migration of plasticizers from medical devices through treatment with low-pressure cold plasma, polydopamine coating, and annealing. Int J Pharm 2023; 646:123422. [PMID: 37722492 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023]
Abstract
Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is widely used in the manufacture of medical devices. The plasticizers added to PVC are potentially toxic for humans, likely to migrate, and thus unintentionally administered to patients. The objective of the present study was to reduce the migration of plasticizer (1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, diisononylester (DINCH) or trioctyltrimellitate (TOTM)) from PVC by implementing a three-step surface treatment process: (i) pretreatment with low-pressure argon cold plasma, (ii) polydopamine coating, and (iii) post-treatment with cold plasma exposure or thermal treatment at 140 °C. Samples were then characterized in terms of the water contact angle (WCA) and the aspect in scanning electron microscopy. Plasticizer migration (n = 5) was measured using an HPLC technique with ultraviolet detection and found to depend on the treatment and the plasticizer. Plasticized PVC was hydrophobic, with a measured mean ± standard deviation WCA of 96.7 ± 3.6° for PVC-DINCH and 110.2 ± 5.8° for PVC-TOTM. Plasma post-treatment and thermal post-treatment were respectively associated with a mean decrease in migration of 38.3 ± 1.9% for DINCH and 61.5 ± 4.4% for TOTM. Our results are promising with regard to limiting the migration of plasticizers into the patient's blood and thus enabling the development of safer medical devices.

Abstract
The main concept of radiosensitization is making the tumor tissue more responsive to ionizing radiation, which leads to an increase in the potency of radiation therapy and allows for decreasing radiation dose and the concomitant side effects. Radiosensitization by metal oxide nanoparticles is widely discussed, but the range of mechanisms studied is not sufficiently codified and often does not reflect the ability of nanocarriers to have a specific impact on cells. This review is focused on the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles while they occupied a special niche among the prospective radiosensitizers due to unique physicochemical characteristics and reactivity. We collected data about the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the radiosensitizing effects of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and the main approaches to increase their therapeutic efficacy by variable modifications.

Abstract
Autophagy is a conserved process in which the cytosolic materials are degraded and eventually recycled for cellular metabolism to maintain homeostasis. The dichotomous role of autophagy in pathogenesis is complicated. Accumulating reports have suggested that cytoprotective autophagy is responsible for tumor growth and progression. Autophagy inhibitors, such as chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), are promising for treating malignancies or overcoming drug resistance in chemotherapy. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, nanomaterials also show autophagy-inhibitory effects or are reported as the carriers delivering autophagy inhibitors. In this review, we summarize the small-molecule compounds and nanomaterials inhibiting autophagic flux as well as the mechanisms involved. The nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems for autophagy inhibitors and their distinct advantages are also described. The progress of autophagy inhibitors for clinical applications is finally introduced, and their future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) has fascinating properties such as inherent biocompatibility, simple preparation, strong near-infrared absorption, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and strong metal ion chelation, which have catalyzed extensive research in PDA-containing multifunctional nano-systems particularly for biomedical applications. Thus, it is imperative to overview synthetic strategies of various PDA-containing nanoparticles (NPs) for state-of-the-art cancer multi-mode diagnoses and therapies applications, and offer a timely and comprehensive summary. In this review, we will focus on the synthetic approaches of PDA NPs, and summarize the construction strategies of PDA-containing NPs with different structure forms. Additionally, the application of PDA-containing NPs in bioimaging such as photoacoustic imaging, fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and other imaging modalities will be reviewed. We will especially offer an overview of their therapeutic applications in tumor chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, photocatalytic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, radionuclide therapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy and combination therapy. At the end, the current trends, limitations and future prospects of PDA-containing nano-systems will be discussed. This review aims to provide guidelines for new scientists in the field of how to design PDA-containing NPs and what has been achieved in this area, while offering comprehensive insights into the potential of PDA-containing nano-systems used in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Quercetin (Qu), a potential bioflavonoid has gained considerable interest as a promising chemotherapeutic drug which can inhibit the proliferation of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells due to its regulation of the expression of tumor-suppressor gene metastasis and antioxidant property. Notably, Qu exhibits a very negligible cytotoxic effect on normal cells, even with high-dose treatment, while it is shows high affinity to TNBC. However, the efficiency of Qu is limited clinically due to its poor bioavailability, caused by its low aqueous solubility (2.15 μg mL-1 at 25 °C), rapid gastrointestinal digestion and chemical instability in alkaline and neutral media. Herein, polydopamine (PDA)-coated, NH2-PEG-NH2 and hyaluronic acid (HA)-functionalized Gd3+-doped Prussian blue nanocubes (GPBNC) are reported as a multifunctional platform for the codelivery of Qu as a chemotherapeutic agent and GPBNC as a photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) agent with improved therapeutic efficiency to overcome theses barriers. PDA, NH2-PEG-NH2 and HA stabilize GPBNC@Qu and facilitate bioavailability and active-targeting, while absorption of near infrared (NIR) (808 nm; 1 W cm-2) induces PDT and PTT activities and dual T1-T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with high relaxometric parameters (r1 10.06 mM-1 s-1 and r2 24.96 mM-1 s-1 at a magnetic field of 3 T). The designed platform shows a pH-responsive Qu release profile and NIR-induced therapeutic efficiency of ∼79% in 20 minutes of irradiation, wherein N-terminal gardermin D (N-GSDMD) and a P2X7-receptor-mediated pyroptosis pathway induces cell death, corroborating the up-regulation of NLRP3, caspase-1, caspase-5, N-GSDMD, IL-1β, cleaved Pannexin-1 and P2X7 proteins. More interestingly, the increasing relaxivity values of Prussian blue nanocubes with Gd3+ doping have been explained on the basis of Solomon-Bloembergen-Morgan theory, considering inner- and outer-sphere relaxivity, wherein crystal defects, coordinated water molecules, tumbling rate, metal to water proton distance, correlation time, magnetisation value etc. play a significant role. In summary, our study suggests that GPBNC could be a beneficial nanocarrier for theranostic purposes against TNBC, while our conceptual study clearly demonstrates the role of various factors in increasing relaxometric parameters.

Abstract
In efforts to overcome current challenges in cancer treatment, multifunctional nanoparticles are attracting growing interest, including nanoparticles made with polydopamine (PDA). PDA is a nature-inspired polymer with a dark brown color. It has excellent biocompatibility and is biodegradable, offering a range of extraordinary inherent advantages. These include excellent drug loading capability, photothermal conversion efficiency, and adhesive properties. Though the mechanism of dopamine polymerization remains unclear, PDA has demonstrated exceptional flexibility in engineering desired morphology and size, easy and straightforward functionalization, etc. Moreover, it offers enormous potential for designing multifunctional nanomaterials for innovative approaches in cancer treatment. The aim of this work is to review studies on PDA, where the potential to develop multifunctional nanomaterials with applications in photothermal therapy has been demonstrated. Future prospects of PDA for developing applications in enhancing radiotherapy and/or immunotherapy, including for image-guided drug delivery to boost therapeutic efficacy and minimal side effects, are presented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate and develop an approach enabling individual researchers or small teams to create their own ad-hoc, lightweight knowledge bases tailored for specialized scientific interests, using text-mining over scientific literature, and demonstrate the effectiveness of these knowledge bases in hypothesis generation and literature-based discovery (LBD). METHODS We propose a lightweight process using an extractive search framework to create ad-hoc knowledge bases, which require minimal training and no background in bio-curation or computer science. These knowledge bases are particularly effective for LBD and hypothesis generation using Swanson's ABC method. The personalized nature of the knowledge bases allows for a somewhat higher level of noise than "public facing" ones, as researchers are expected to have prior domain experience to separate signal from noise. Fact verification is shifted from exhaustive verification of the knowledge base to post-hoc verification of specific entries of interest, allowing researchers to assess the correctness of relevant knowledge base entries by considering the paragraphs in which the facts were introduced. RESULTS We demonstrate the methodology by constructing several knowledge bases of different kinds: three knowledge bases that support lab-internal hypothesis generation: Drug Delivery to Ovarian Tumors (DDOT); Tissue Engineering and Regeneration; Challenges in Cancer Research; and an additional comprehensive, accurate knowledge base designated as a public resource for the wider community on the topic of Cell Specific Drug Delivery (CSDD). In each case, we show the design and construction process, along with relevant visualizations for data exploration, and hypothesis generation. For CSDD and DDOT we also show meta-analysis, human evaluation, and in vitro experimental evaluation. CONCLUSION Our approach enables researchers to create personalized, lightweight knowledge bases for specialized scientific interests, effectively facilitating hypothesis generation and literature-based discovery (LBD). By shifting fact verification efforts to post-hoc verification of specific entries, researchers can focus on exploring and generating hypotheses based on their expertise. The constructed knowledge bases demonstrate the versatility and adaptability of our approach to versatile research interests. The web-based platform, available at https://spike-kbc.apps.allenai.org , provides researchers with a valuable tool for rapid construction of knowledge bases tailored to their needs.

Abstract
Polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) are commonly used for photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer because of their good biocompatibility and photothermal conversion capability. However, it is difficult to achieve a good tumor inhibition effect with a single PTT of PDA. Therefore, in this work, we prepared a combined anticancer nanosystem for enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/PTT by coating PDAs with an (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)/iron (Fe) metal-polyphenol network (MPN). The MPN shell of this nanosystem named EGCG@PDA is degraded by the weakly acidic environment intracellular, releasing EGCG and Fe3+. EGCG inhibits the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in cancer cells, thus eliminating their thermal protection against cancer cells for enhanced PTT. Meanwhile, the reductive EGCG can also reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+, to catalyze the decomposition of overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in cancer cells to generate strong oxidative hydroxyl radicals (OH), i.e., catalyzing the Fenton reaction, for CDT. After the Fenton reaction, the re-oxidized Fe ions can be reduced again by EGCG and reused to catalyze the Fenton reaction, which can achieve enhanced CDT. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that EGCG@PDA has low dark toxicity and good anticancer effects. It is expected to be used for precision cancer therapy.

Abstract
Gas therapy based on nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as a potential therapeutic approach for cancer, and in conjunction with multi-mode combination therapy, offers new possibilities for achieving significant hyperadditive effects. In this study, an integrated AI-MPDA@BSA nanocomposite for diagnosis and treatment was constructed for PDA based photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and cascade NO release. Natural NO donor L-arginine (L-Arg) and photosensitizer (PS) IR780 were loaded into mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA). Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was conjugated to the MPDA to increase the dispersibility and biocompatibility of the nanoparticles, as well as to serve as a gatekeeper controlling IR780 release from the MPDA pores. The AI-MPDA@BSA produced singlet oxygen (1O2) and converted it into NO through a chain reaction based on L-Arg, enabling a combination of photodynamic therapy and gas therapy. Moreover, due to the photothermal properties of MPDA, the AI-MPDA@BSA performed good photothermal conversion, which allowed photoacoustic imaging. As expected, both in vitro and in vivo studies have confirmed that the AI-MPDA@BSA nanoplatform has a significant inhibitory effect on cancer cells and tumors, and no apparent systemic toxicity or side effects were detected during the treatment period.

Abstract
Precise control of antimicrobial delivery can prevent the adverse effects of antibiotics. By exploiting the photothermal activity of polydopamine nanoparticles along with the distinct transition temperatures of liposomes, a near-infrared (NIR) laser can be used to control the sequential delivery of an antibiotic and its adjuvant from a nanocomposite hydrogel-preventing bacterial growth.

Codelivery of adavosertib and olaparib by tumor-targeting nanoparticles for augmented efficacy and reduced toxicity. Acta Biomater 2023; 157:428-441. [PMID: 36549633 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.12.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks first among gynecologic malignancies in terms of mortality. The benefits of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors appear to be limited to OC with BRCA mutations. Concurrent administration of WEE1 inhibitors (eg, adavosertib (Ada)) and PARP inhibitors (eg, olaparib (Ola)) effectively suppress ovarian tumor growth regardless of BRCA mutation status, but is poorly tolerated. Henceforth, we aimed to seek a strategy to reduce the toxic effects of this combination by taking advantage of the mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) nanoparticles with good biocompatibility and high drug loading capacity. In this work, we designed a tumor-targeting peptide TMTP1 modified MPDA-based nano-drug delivery system (TPNPs) for targeted co-delivery of Ada and Ola to treat OC. Ada and Ola could be effectively loaded into MPDA nanoplatform and showed tumor microenvironment triggered release behavior. The nanoparticles induced more apoptosis in OC cells, and significantly enhanced the synergy of combination therapy with Ada plus Ola in murine OC models. Moreover, the precise drug delivery of TPNPs towards tumor cells significantly diminished the toxic side effects caused by concurrent administration of Ada and Ola. Co-delivery of WEE1 inhibitors and PARP inhibitors via TPNPs represents a promising approach for the treatment of OC. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Combination therapy of WEE1 inhibitors (eg, Ada) with PARP inhibitors (eg, Ola) effectively suppress ovarian tumor growth regardless of BRCA mutation status. However, poor tolerability limits its clinical application. To address this issue, we construct a tumor-targeting nano-drug delivery system (TPNP) for co-delivery of Ada and Ola. The nanoparticles specifically target ovarian cancer and effectively enhance the antitumor effect while minimizing undesired toxic side effects. As the first nanomedicine co-loaded with a WEE1 inhibitor and a PARP inhibitor, TPNP-Ada-Ola may provide a promising and generally applicable therapeutic strategy for ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
It is meaningful to find suitable in vitro models for preclinical toxicology and efficacy evaluation of nanodrugs and nanocarriers or drug screening and promoting clinical transformation of nanocarriers. The emergence and development of organoids technology provide a great possibility to achieve this goal. Herein, we constructed an in vitro 3D organoid model to study the inhibitory effect of nanocarriers on colorectal cancer. And designed hydroxyapatite nanoclusters (c-HAP) mediated by polydopamine (PDA) formed under alkaline conditions (pH 9.0), then used c-HAP to load DOX (c-HAP/DOX) as nanocarrier for improved chemotherapy. In vitro, drug release experiments show that c-HAP/DOX has suitable responsive to pH, can be triggered to the facile release of DOX in a slightly acidic environment (pH 6.0), and maintain specific stability in a neutral pH value (7.4) environment. c-HAP/DOX showed an excellent antitumor effect in the two-dimensional (2D) cell model and three-dimensional (3D) patient-derived colon cancer organoids (PDCCOs) model. In addition, c-HAP/DOX can release a sufficient amount of DOX to produce cytotoxicity in a slightly acidic environment, entering efficiently into the colorectal cancer cells caused endocytosis and induced apoptosis. Therefore, organoids can serve as an effective in vitro model to present the structure and function of colorectal cancer tissues and be used to evaluate the efficacy of nanocarriers for tumors.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT), by converting light to thermal energy, has become a novel and noninvasive technique for tumor thermal ablation in clinical practice. However, as a result of phagocytosis of reticuloendothelial cells, current photothermal agents (PTAs) derived from exogenous materials suffer from incompetent tumor targeting and brief internal circulation time. The resulting poor accumulation of PTAs in the target area severely reduces the efficacy of PTT. In addition, the potential toxicity of PTAs, excessive laser exposure, and possibilities of tumor recurrence and metastasis following PTT are still intractable problems that severely influence patients' quality of life. Herein, a biomimetic pH-responsive nanoprobe was prepared via cancer cell membrane coating polydopamine (PDA)-CaCO3 nanoparticles (CPCaNPs) for photoacoustic (PA)/ultrasonic (US)/thermal imaging-guided PTT. When CPCaNPs targeted and infiltrated into the tumor's acidic microenvironment, the decomposed CO2 bubbles from homologous targeting CPCaNPs enhanced ultrasonic (US) signals obviously. At the same time, the PDA of CPCaNPs not only performed efficient PTT of primary tumors but also generated photoacoustic (PA) signals. In addition, an immune checkpoint pathway blockade was combined, which inhibited tumor recurrence and metastasis significantly and improved the immunosuppressive microenvironment after PTT to a large extent. Thus, these proposed biomimetic pH-responsive CPCaNPs provide a promising strategy for precise PTT immunotherapy under the intelligent guidance of PA/US/thermal imaging and show great potential for clinical translation.

Construction of pH-responsive polydopamine coated magnetic layered hydroxide nanostructure for intracellular drug delivery. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2023; 182:12-20. [PMID: 36462716 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2022.11.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
In recent years, using magnetic nanocomposites for controlled release of drugs and target-specific drug delivery has great potential in exploring a new method for cancer chemotherapy. Nevertheless, the low loading rate of insoluble drugs greatly restricts their efficacy and clinical application. Here, an efficient magnetic nanostructure combining Fe3O4 nanoparticles and layered double hydroxide (LDH) was developed and used for tumor cell inhibition. LDH was first deposited on Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4@LDH), curcumin (Cur) was then loaded and polydopamine (PDA) eventually formed a PDA-coating on Fe3O4@Cur-LDH via self-polymerization. The Fe3O4@Cur-LDH/PDA nanostructure showed a suitable nano-meter size, excellent magnetic property, and high drug loading rate (up to 38 %). In vitro release results implied that Fe3O4@Cur-LDH/PDA nanostructure had good pH-responsive performance and excellent controlled-release behaviors due to the introduction of PDA. The cellular experiments demonstrated that Fe3O4@Cur-LDH/PDA nanostructure had good biocompatibility. In addition, Fe3O4@Cur-LDH/PDA entered into the cells mainly through endocytosis and had excellent inhibition on HepG2 cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. Therefore, Fe3O4@Cur-LDH/PDA nanostructure has a prospective application in cancer therapy as a controlled drug delivery system.

Abstract
The combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy is considered a promising tumor treatment modality, nevertheless, cellular resistance induced by heat shock proteins (HSPs) overexpressed in tumor cells will restrict the therapeutic effect. Herein, a multifunctional nanobeacon DOX/HCuS@PDA-MB (D/CP-MB) with a scout function for HSP90 mRNA fluorescence detection and near-infrared (NIR) triggered drug release for sensitizing chemo-photothermal therapy, is proposed. In the theranostic nanobeacons, HSP90MBs not only enable fluorescence detection of intracellular HSP90 mRNAs, but also downregulate the expression of HSP90 to reduce cell resistance. With the assistance of NIR and guidance of fluorescence imaging, spatiotemporal doxorubicin release can be achieved by the trigger of the photothermal effect, allowing for combined chemotherapy and photothermal treatment. Furthermore, the dual photothermal effect of hollow mesoporous CuS (HCuS) and polydopamine will lead to a better photothermal effect. Moreover, compared with other control groups, D/CP-MB nanobeacons exhibit effective boost therapeutic efficacy by inducing significant suppression of tumor proliferation and enhancement of apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. In summary, this work provides novel theranostic nanobeacons that integrate imaging and therapy in a single nanoparticle, this strategy of imaging-guided therapy can enable precise tumor treatment and effectively improve tumor treatment efficacy.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) is capable of wide drug delivery for biomedical applications by virtue of an adjustable polymerization process, including surface coating and conjugation. Inspired by the polymerization of dopamine, we introduce a layer-by-layer hybrid co-assembly strategy for the incorporation of doxorubicin (DOX) and dopamine to form PDA "carrier-drug" hybrid assembly. The "carrier-drug" hybrid assembly relies on the π-π stacking interaction between the drug (DOX) and carrier (PDA), and such the stacked-layer structure enables PDA nanoparticles with a superior drug loading of 58%, which is about 1.7-fold higher than that of the DOX surface coating (∼35%). To further improve blood circulation stability and enhance tumor penetration, we herein propose the conjugation of native apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) with tumor-homing cyclic peptide iRGD for PDA surface modification. The "carrier-drug" hybrid assembly can respond to triple stimuli of the acidic pH, concentrated reactive oxygen species (ROS), and near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation for realizing site-specific and on-demand drug release. In chemo-photothermal synergy therapy, the "carrier-drug" hybrid assembly performs efficient tumor penetration and accumulation, dramatically suppressing tumor growth and metastasis in a 4T1 orthotopic tumor-bearing mice model at a safe level. Collectively, our findings share new insights into the design of "carrier-drug" hybrid assembly for enhanced chemo-photothermal oncotherapy.

Abstract
Biomimetic nanozyme with natural enzyme-like activities has drawn extensive attention in cancer therapy, while its application was hindered by the limited catalytic efficacy in the complicated tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a hybrid biomimetic nanozyme combines polydopamine-decorated CuO with a natural enzyme of glucose oxidase (GOD), among which CuO is endowed with a high loading rate (47.1%) of GOD due to the elaborately designed hollow mesoporous structure that is constructed to maximize the cascade catalytic efficacy. In the TME, CuO could catalyze endogenous H2O2 into O2 for relieving tumor hypoxia and improving the catalytic efficacy of GOD. Whereafter, the amplified glucose oxidation induces starvation therapy, and the generated H2O2 and H+ enhance the catalytic activity of CuO. Significantly, the tumor-specific chemodynamic therapy (CDT) could be realized when CuO degraded into Cu2+ in acidic and reductive TME. Furthermore, the photothermal therapy with high photothermal conversion efficiency (30.2%) is achieved under NIR-II laser (1064 nm) excitation, which could reinforce the generation of reactive oxygen species (•OH and •O2-). The TME initiates the biochemical reaction cycle of CuO, O2, and GOD, which couples with an NIR-II-induced thermal effect to realize O2-promoted starvation and photothermal-chemodynamic combined therapy. This hybrid biomimetic nanozyme enlightens the further development of nanozymes in multimodal cancer therapy.

Abstract
Background The accumulating evidence confirms that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical regulatory role in the progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). But, the application of lncRNAs in gene therapy remains scarce. Here, we investigated the efficacy of a delivery system by introducing the plasmid-encoding tumor suppressor lncRNA-SLERCC (SLERCC) in RCC cells. Methods We performed lncRNAs expression profiling in paired cancer and normal tissues through microarray and validated in our clinical data and TCGA dataset. The Plasmid-SLERCC@PDA@MUC12 nanoparticles (PSPM-NPs) were tested in vivo and in vitro, including cellular uptake, entry, CCK-8 assay, tumor growth inhibition, histological assessment, and safety evaluations. Furthermore, experiments with nude mice xenografts model were performed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of PSPM-NPs nanotherapeutic system specific to the SLERCC. Results We found that the expression of SLERCC was downregulated in RCC tissues, and exogenous upregulation of SLERCC could suppress metastasis of RCC cells. Furthermore, high expression DNMT3A was recruited at the SLERCC promoter, which induced aberrant hypermethylation, eventually leading to downregulation of SLERCC expression in RCC. Mechanistically, SLERCC could directly bind to UPF1 and exert tumor-suppressive effects through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting progression and metastasis in RCC. Subsequently, the PSPM-NPs nanotherapeutic system can effectively inhibit the growth of RCC metastases in vivo. Conclusions Our findings suggested that SLERCC is a promising therapeutic target and that plasmid-encapsulated nanomaterials targeting transmembrane metastasis markers may open a new avenue for the treatment in RCC.

Abstract
Glioma is characterized by high mortality and low postoperative survival. Despite the availability of various therapeutic approaches and molecular typing, the treatment failure rate and the recurrence rate of glioma remain high. Given the limitations of existing therapeutic tools, nanotechnology has emerged as an alternative treatment option. Nanoparticles, such as polydopamine (PDA)-based nanoparticles, are embodied with reliable biodegradability, efficient drug loading rate, relatively low toxicity, considerable biocompatibility, excellent adhesion properties, precisely targeted delivery, and strong photothermal conversion properties. Therefore, they can further enhance the therapeutic effects in patients with glioma. Moreover, polydopamine contains pyrocatechol, amino and carboxyl groups, active double bonds, catechol, and other reactive groups that can react with biofunctional molecules containing amino, aldehyde, or sulfhydryl groups (main including, self-polymerization, non-covalent self-assembly, π-π stacking, electrostatic attraction interaction, chelation, coating and covalent co-assembly), which form a reversible dynamic covalent Schiff base bond that is extremely sensitive to pH values. Meanwhile, PDA has excellent adhesion capability that can be further functionally modified. Consequently, the aim of this review is to summarize the application of PDA-based NPs in glioma and to acquire insight into the therapeutic effect of the drug-loaded PDA-based nanocarriers (PDA NPs). A wealthy understanding and argument of these sides is anticipated to afford a better approach to develop more reasonable and valid PDA-based cancer nano-drug delivery systems. Finally, we discuss the expectation for the prospective application of PDA in this sphere and some individual viewpoints.

Abstract
Macrophages polarization in bone immune microenvironment is crucial in bone regeneration. In this work, mineralized collagen (MC) coatings with photo-thermal effect were prepared through incorporation of polydopamine (PDA). MC coatings with different thicknesses were deposited on titanium substrate through electrochemical deposition. PDA preformed on the substrate, acting as a photo-thermal agent. The effects of light illumination, i.e., different thermal effects, on the polarization of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages were explored. It was found that heat can promote the M1 polarization of macrophages and inhibit the M2 polarization. Also, gene expression results revealed that such photo illumination based macrophage modulation is effective and safe. It provides a possible way for the design of functional materials to regulate the bone immune microenvironment.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex biological process that involves tissue regeneration. Traditional wound dressings are dry, cannot provide a moist environment for wound healing, and do not have high antibacterial properties. Hydrogels, which are capable of retaining large amounts of water, can create a moist healing environment. Currently, phototherapies have exhibited a high potential for the treatment of bacterial infections. Therefore, combining hydrogels with phototherapy can adequately overcome the shortcomings of traditional wound treatment methods and show great potential for wound healing owing to their high efficiency, low irritation, and good antibacterial performance. In this review, the application of hydrogels combined with phototherapy in wound healing is summarized. First, the basic principles of photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy are briefly introduced. In addition, the progress of the application of hydrogel combined with phototherapy in wound healing is systematically investigated. Finally, the challenges and prospects of combining hydrogel with phototherapy in wound healing are discussed.

[PMID: 35835732 DOI: 10.1002/marc.202200472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Increasing polymer usage has demanded functional additives that decrease fire hazards for end users. While traditional flame-retardant (FR) additives, such as halogenated, phosphorus, and metal hydroxides, greatly reduce flammability and associated fire hazards, research has continually exposed a litany of health and environmental safety concerns. This perspective aims to identify the key components of a successful FR additive and address material, environmental, and health concerns of existing additives. Legislation surrounding FRs and persistent organic pollutants is also discussed to highlight political perception that has resulted in the increased chemical regulations and subsequent banning of FR additives. Finally, future directions of this field regarding nonreactive additives, focusing on the use of bioinspired materials and transition metal chemistries to produce alternatives for polymers with efficacies surpassing traditional additives are presented.

Abstract
Metal ions are ubiquitous in nature and play significant roles in assembling functional materials in fields spanning chemistry, biology, and materials science. Metal-phenolic materials are assembled from phenolic components in the presence of metal ions through the formation of metal-organic complexes. Alkali, alkali-earth, transition, and noble metal ions as well as metalloids interacting with phenolic building blocks have been widely exploited to generate diverse hybrid materials. Despite extensive studies on the synthesis of metal-phenolic materials, a comprehensive summary of how metal ions guide the assembly of phenolic compounds is lacking. A fundamental understanding of the roles of metal ions in metal-phenolic materials engineering will facilitate the assembly of materials with specific and functional properties. In this review, we focus on the diversity and function of metal ions in metal-phenolic material engineering and emerging applications. Specifically, we discuss the range of underlying interactions, including (i) cation-π, (ii) coordination, (iii) redox, and (iv) dynamic covalent interactions, and highlight the wide range of material properties resulting from these interactions. Applications (e.g., biological, catalytic, and environmental) and perspectives of metal-phenolic materials are also highlighted.

Abstract
Phototherapy, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), refers to the therapeutic strategy using a visible or near-infrared (NIR) laser to generate free radicals or heat for noninvasive and localized tumor treatment. However, limited by the low photoconversion efficiency of therapeutic agents, a single treatment method can hardly lead to complete tumor ablation, even when enhancing the power density of the laser and/or prolonging the irradiation duration. In this work, copper ion and ruthenium complex codoped polydopamine nanoparticles (Cu(II)/LRu/PDA NPs) are designed for PDT/PTT dual-mode therapy. The doped LRu in the NPs can generate reactive oxygen species under visible laser irradiation and enable PDT. Because of the strong absorption in the NIR region, PDA can not only generate heat for PTT under irradiation but also be used for photoacoustic tomography (PAT) imaging. Meanwhile, the doping of Cu(II) in the NPs through the coordination with PDA facilitates T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thus, MR/PAT imaging-guided PDT/PTT dual-mode therapy is achieved. The in vivo experiments indicate that the Cu(II)/LRu/PDA NPs can accumulate in HeLa tumors with a retention rate up to 8.34%ID/g. MR/PAT imaging can clearly identify the location and boundary of the tumors, permitting precise guidance for phototherapy. Under the combined effect of PDT and PTT, a complete ablation of HeLa tumors is achieved. The current work provides an alternative nanoplatform for performing PDT/PTT dual-mode therapy, which can be further guided by MR/PAT imaging.

Abstract
Advanced treatments based on immune system manipulation, gene transcription and regulation, specific organ and cell targeting, and/or photon energy conversion have emerged as promising therapeutic strategies against a range of challenging diseases. Naturally derived macromolecules (e.g., proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, and polyphenols) have increasingly found use as fundamental building blocks for nanostructured particles as their advantageous properties, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, inherent bioactivity, and diverse chemical properties make them suitable for advanced therapeutic applications. This review provides a timely and comprehensive summary of the use of a broad range of natural building blocks in the rapidly developing field of advanced therapeutics with insights specific to nanostructured particles. We focus on an up-to-date overview of the assembly of nanostructured particles using natural building blocks and summarize their key scientific and preclinical milestones for advanced therapies, including adoptive cell therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, active targeted drug delivery, photoacoustic therapy and imaging, photothermal therapy, and combinational therapy. A cross-comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of different natural building blocks are highlighted to elucidate the key design principles for such bio-derived nanoparticles toward improving their performance and adoption. Current challenges and future research directions are also discussed, which will accelerate our understanding of designing, engineering, and applying nanostructured particles for advanced therapies.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) is a unique bioinspired synthetic polymer that integrates broadband light absorption, efficient photothermal transduction, and versatile surface-adhesion functions in a single material entity. Here, we utilize colloidal PDA beads in the submicron particle size regime as an easily processable and photothermally active support for sub-10 nm Pd nanocatalysts to construct a multifunctional material system that allows us to kinetically boost thermal catalytic reactions through visible and near-infrared light illuminations. Choosing the Pd-catalyzed nitrophenol reduction by ammonium formate as a model transfer hydrogenation reaction exhibiting temperature-dependent reaction rates, we demonstrate that interfacial molecule-transforming processes on metal nanocatalyst surfaces can be kinetically modulated by harnessing the thermal energy produced through photothermal transduction in the PDA supports.

Abstract
Cancer poses an ongoing global challenge, despite the substantial progress made in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. The existing therapeutic methods remain limited by undesirable outcomes such as systemic toxicity and lack of specificity or long-term efficacy, although innovative alternatives are being continuously investigated. By offering a means for the targeted delivery of therapeutics, nanotechnology (NT) has emerged as a state-of-the-art solution for augmenting the efficiency of currently available cancer therapies while combating their drawbacks. Melanin, a polymeric pigment of natural origin that is widely spread among many living organisms, became a promising candidate for NT-based cancer treatment owing to its unique physicochemical properties (e.g., high biocompatibility, redox behavior, light absorption, chelating ability) and innate antioxidant, photoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor effects. The latest research on melanin and melanin-like nanoparticles has extended considerably on many fronts, allowing not only efficient cancer treatments via both traditional and modern methods, but also early disease detection and diagnosis. The current paper provides an updated insight into the applicability of melanin in cancer therapy as antitumor agent, molecular target, and delivery nanoplatform.

Abstract
In this work, Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide-coupled polydopamine-modified mesoporous platinum nanoparticles (mPt@PDA-RGD NPs) were developed for targeted photothermal therapy (PTT) and migration inhibition of SKOV-3 cells. mPt@PDA-RGD NPs with obvious core/shell structure demonstrated high photothermal performance under 808-nm near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. mPt@PDA-RGD NPs with favorable biocompatibility exhibited remarkable SKOV-3 inhibition ability under NIR laser irradiation. Moreover, compared to mPt@PDA NPs, the RGD-functionalized NPs achieved more tumor uptake and PTT performance, which was attributed to the specific interaction between RGD of NPs and αvβ3 integrin overexpressed by SKOV-3. Importantly, cell scratch experiments indicated that the photothermal effect of mPt@PDA-RGD NPs can effectively inhibit the migration of surviving SKOV-3 cells, which was assigned to disturbance of the actin cytoskeleton of SKOV-3. Thus, mPt@PDA-RGD NPs presented great potential for targeted tumor photothermal ablation and migration inhibition.

Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are considered structurally promising adsorption materials, but their application is limited due to their poor native adsorption properties. Improving the adsorption capacity of HNTs for radioactive U(VI) is of great significance. By controlling the mass ratio of HNTs and dopamine (DA), composite adsorbents (HNTs@PDA) with different polydopamine (PDA) layer thicknesses were synthesized. Characterization of HNTs@PDA demonstrated that the original structure of the HNTs was maintained. Adsorption experiments verified that the adsorption capacity of HNTs@PDA for U(VI) was significantly improved. The effects of solution pH, temperature, and coexisting ions on the adsorption process were investigated. The removal efficiency was observed to be 75% after five repeated uses. The adsorption mechanism of U(VI) by HNTs@PDA can be explained by considering electrostatic interactions and the complexation of C-O, -NH- and C-N/CN in the PDA layer. This study provides some basic information for the application of HNTs for U(VI) removal.

Abstract
Combination therapy system has become a promising strategy for achieving favorable antitumor efficacy. Herein, a novel oral drug delivery system with colon localization and tumor targeting functions was designed for orthotopic colon cancer chemotherapy and photothermal combinational therapy. The polydopamine coated nanodiamond (PND) was used as the photothermal carrier, through the coupling of sulfhydryl-polyethylene glycol-folate (SH-PEG-FA) on the surface of PND to achieve systematic colon tumor targeting, curcumin (CUR) was loaded as the model drug, and then coated with chitosan (CS) to achieve the long gastrointestinal tract retention and colon localization functions to obtain PND-PEG-FA/CUR@CS nanoparticles. It has high photothermal conversion efficiency and good photothermal stability and exhibited near-infrared (NIR) laser-responsive drug release behavior. Folate (FA) modification effectively promotes the intracellular uptake of nanoparticles by CT26 cells, and the combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (CT/PTT) can enhance cytotoxicity. Compared with free CUR group, nanoparticles prolonged the gastrointestinal tract retention time, accumulated more in colon tumor tissues, and exhibited good photothermal effect in vivo. More importantly, the CT/PTT group exhibited satisfactory tumor growth inhibition effects with good biocompatibility in vivo. In summary, this oral drug delivery system is an efficient platform for chemotherapy and photothermal combinational therapy of orthotopic colon cancer.

Abstract
Regulation of cell behaviors and even cell fates is of great significance in diverse biomedical applications such as cancer treatment, cell-based therapy, and tissue engineering. During the past decades, diverse methods have been developed to regulate cell behaviors such as applying external stimuli, delivering exogenous molecules into cell interior and changing the physicochemical properties of the substrates where cells adhere. Photothermal scaffolds/surfaces refer to a kind of materials embedded or coated with photothermal agents that can absorb light with proper wavelength (usually in near infrared region) and convert light energy to heat; the generated heat shows great potential for regulation of cell behaviors in different ways. In the current review, we summarize the recent research progress, especially over the past decade, of using photothermal scaffolds/surfaces to regulate cell behaviors, which could be further categorized into three types: (i) killing the tumor cells via hyperthermia or thermal ablation, (ii) engineering cells by intracellular delivery of exogenous molecules via photothermal poration of cell membranes, and (iii) releasing a single cell or an intact cell sheet via modulation of surface physicochemical properties in response to heat. In the end, challenges and perspectives in these areas are commented.

Abstract
Bringing together photothermal therapy and chemotherapy (photothermal-chemotherapy, PT-CT) is a highly promising clinical approach but requires the development of intelligent multifunctional delivery vectors. In this work, we prepared mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA NPs) loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX). These NPs were then coated with the platelet membrane (PLTM). The coated MPDA NPs are spherical and clearly mesoporous in structure. They have a particle size of approximately 184 nm and pore size of ca. 45 nm. The NPs are potent photothermal agents and efficient DOX carriers, with increased rates of drug release observed in vitro in conditions representative of the tumor microenvironment. The NPs are preferentially taken up by cancer cells but not by macrophage cells, and while cytocompatible with healthy cells are highly toxic to cancer cells. An in vivo murine model of human breast cancer revealed that the NPs can markedly slow the growth of a tumor (ca. 9-fold smaller after 14 days' treatment), have extended pharmacokinetics compared to free DOX (with DOX still detectable in the bloodstream after 24 h when the NPs are applied), and are highly targeted with minimal off-site effects on the heart, liver, spleen, kidney, and lungs.
