Abstract
Surface bio-engineering of polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) has emerged as a cornerstone in contemporary biomedical research, presenting a transformative avenue that can revolutionize diagnostics, therapies, and drug delivery systems. The approach involves integrating bioactive elements on the surfaces of PNPs, aiming to provide them with functionalities to enable precise, targeted, and favorable interactions with biological components within cellular environments. However, the full potential of surface bio-engineered PNPs in biomedicine is hampered by obstacles, including precise control over surface modifications, stability in biological environments, and lasting targeted interactions with cells or tissues. Concerns like scalability, reproducibility, and long-term safety also impede translation to clinical practice. In this review, these challenges in the context of recent breakthroughs in developing surface-biofunctionalized PNPs for various applications, from biosensing and bioimaging to targeted delivery of therapeutics are discussed. Particular attention is given to bonding mechanisms that underlie the attachment of bioactive moieties to PNP surfaces. The stability and efficacy of surface-bioengineered PNPs are critically reviewed in disease detection, diagnostics, and treatment, both in vitro and in vivo settings. Insights into existing challenges and limitations impeding progress are provided, and a forward-looking discussion on the field's future is presented. The paper concludes with recommendations to accelerate the clinical translation of surface bio-engineered PNPs.

Abstract
Photothermal agent accompanying with thermally responsive materials, displays well controlled drug release property, which is well-received as an outstanding design strategy for simultaneous photothermal/chemotherapy in cancer. Cyanine dye, as the prestigious photothermal agent has shown great potential due to its preeminent near-infrared absorbance and excellent thermal conversion efficiency. However, their inherent defect such as inferior photothermal stability, high leakage risk and poor therapy efficacy limit their further application in cancer therapy. Hence, a facile and universal strategy to make up these deficiencies is developed. Chemotherapeutic drug DOX and cyanine dye were loaded into polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles. The PDA encapsulation dramatically improved the photothermal stability of cyanine dye. Attributed by the PDA structure feature, the thermo-sensitive small molecule glyamine (Gla) is introduced into the PDA surface to lessen leakage. The Gla can form a dense encapsulation layer on the dopamine surface through hydrogen bond. This newly fabricated Cyanine/DOX@PDA-Gla nanopaltform is characterized with NIR light/pH dual-responsive property, high NIR photothermal conversion performance and fluorescence guided chemo-photothermal therapy.

Abstract
The selective and efficient delivery of bioactive molecules to sites of interest remains a formidable challenge in medicine. In recent years, it has been shown that stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems display several advantages over traditional drug administration such as an improved pharmacokinetic profile and the desirable ability to gain control over release. Light emerged as one of the most powerful stimuli due to its high biocompatibility, spatio-temporal control, and non-invasiveness. On the road to clinical translation, various chemical systems of high complexity have been reported with the aim to improve efficacy, safety, and versatility of drug delivery under complex biological conditions. For future research on the chemical design of such photo-controlled nanomedicines, it is essential to gain an understanding of their in vivo translation and efficiency. Here, we discuss photo-controlled nanomedicines that have been evaluated in vivo and provide an overview of the state-of-the-art that should guide future research design.

Abstract
Single therapy for tumor therapy always exerts limited ability for the constraints on the reaction condition and the unavoidable multidrug resistance, which seriously influences the therapy effect in the clinic. Herein, a combination treatment nanosystem (MP@PI) based on chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is constructed for triggering ferroptosis/pyroptosis, which is the metal-organic framework (MOF) modified with polydopamine (PDA) and IR820 to loaded with piperlongumine (PL). The MOF and PL respectively served as the iron source and H2O2 source, performing chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for eliciting ferroptosis. Meanwhile the iron source induces pyroptosis in tumor cells. PDA is not only pH responsive to release PL but also CDT-assisted which due to PDA consumes the glutathione to decrease the expression of glutathione peroxide 4. The photosensitizer IR820 exerts photothermal effects under near-infrared light and further facilitates the ferroptosis/pyroptosis. In addation, the MP@PI nanoplatform evokes the immune response in vivo and enhances the antitumor effects further. Overall, MP@PI is a kind of promising cancer therapy strategy through CDT and PTT combination, inducing ferroptosis and pyroptosis.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has achieved promising clinical progress over the recent years for its potential to treat metastatic tumors and inhibit their recurrences effectively. However, low patient response rates and dose-limiting toxicity remain as major dilemmas for immunotherapy. Stimuli-responsive nanoparticles (srNPs) combined with immunotherapy offer the possibility to amplify anti-tumor immune responses, where the weak acidity, high concentration of glutathione, overexpressions of enzymes, and reactive oxygen species, and external stimuli in tumors act as triggers for controlled drug release. This review highlights the design of srNPs based on tumor microenvironment and/or external stimuli to combine with different anti-tumor drugs, especially the immunoregulatory agents, which eventually realize synergistic immunotherapy of malignant primary or metastatic tumors and acquire a long-term immune memory to prevent tumor recurrence. The authors hope that this review can provide theoretical guidance for the construction and clinical transformation of smart srNPs for controlled drug delivery in synergistic cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
As a popular controllable-released carrier, intelligent hydrogels are often used in drug delivery and disease therapeutics. Meanwhile, benefit from the mimic-enzyme activity performance, Fe-N-C nanozymes have been widely used in sensing and analysis. However, the combination of intelligent hydrogels with specific degradability and Fe-N-C nanozymes with enhanced activity in one system to achieve controllable and sensitive detection is rare. Herein, we combine intelligent hydrogel with mimic peroxidase activity enhanced Fe-N-C nanozymes to construct a ratiometric fluorescence probe for sensitive detection of hyaluronidase (HAase). The modification of copper ions has been proved to enhance the mimic enzyme activity of Fe-N-C nanozymes greatly. Cu2+ modified Fe-N-C nanozymes were embedded in hyaluronic acid hydrogel. In the presence of HAase, the HA hydrogel structure was hydrolyzed and released Cu2+-Fe-N-C nanozymes gradually. The released Cu2+-Fe-N-C nanozymes are used to catalyze the hydrogen peroxide system so that o-phenylenediamine is oxidized to orange fluorescent 2, 3-diaminophenolazine (DAP). Due to the electrostatic interaction, the fluorescence resonance energy transfer can occur between the negatively charged copper nanoclusters emitted by 430 nm and the positively charged DAP emitted by 560 nm. The activity of HAase was monitored according to the ratio of fluorescence intensity at 560 nm and 430 nm (F560/F430). The linear range of this method is 0-10.0 U/ml and the detection limit is 0.43 U/mL (S/N = 3). This strategy has been further applied to biological samples successfully.

Abstract
The limitations of current cancer treatments have stimulated the application of nanotechnology to develop more effective and safer cancer therapies. Remarkable progress has been made in the development of nanomedicine to overcome issues associated with conventional cancer treatment, including low drug solubility, insufficient targeting, and drug resistance. The modulation of nanoparticles allows the improvement of drug pharmacokinetics, leading to improved targeting and reduced side effects. In addition, nanoparticles can be conjugated to ligands that specifically target cancer cells. Furthermore, strategies that exploit tumor characteristics to locally trigger drug release have shown to increase targeted drug delivery. However, although some clinical successes have been achieved, most nanomedicines fail to reach the clinic. Factors that hinder clinical translation vary from the complexity of design, incomplete understanding of biological mechanisms, and high demands during the manufacturing process. Clinical translation might be improved by combining knowledge from different disciplines such as cell biology, chemistry, and tumor pathophysiology. An increased understanding on how nanoparticle modifications affect biological systems is pivotal to improve design, eventually aiding development of more effective nanomedicines. This review summarizes the key successes that have been made in nanomedicine, including improved drug delivery and release by polymeric nanoparticles as well as the introduction of strategies that overcome drug resistance. In addition, the application of nanomedicine in immunotherapy is discussed, and several remaining challenges addressed.

Abstract
Currently, traditional cancer therapy still falls far short of expectations. However, a variety of invasive cancers that are resistant to chemotherapy (such as platinum drugs, one of the most applied antineoplastics in clinic) and targeted agents are susceptible to ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is a form of cell death that is driven by cell metabolism and iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis inducers can eliminate the drug resistance of tumor cells in the mesenchymal state, effectively inhibit the drug resistance of acquired tumor cells, and optimize cancer efficacy. Research based on the epigenetic mechanism of ferroptosis is still in the stage of screening and verifying the regulatory effect, and there is no complete regulatory mechanism network. In this review, we expound on the epigenetic regulation and nonepigenetic mechanisms of ferroptosis and review the epigenetic-based mechanisms of tumor therapy potential and emerging nonepigenetic-based therapies (nanotherapeutics).

Abstract
Light is a particularly appealing tool for on-demand drug delivery due to its noninvasive nature, ease of application and exquisite temporal and spatial control. Great progress has been achieved in the development of novel light-driven drug delivery strategies with both breadth and depth. Light-controlled drug delivery platforms can be generally categorized into three groups: photochemical, photothermal, and photoisomerization-mediated therapies. Various advanced materials, such as metal nanoparticles, metal sulfides and oxides, metal-organic frameworks, carbon nanomaterials, upconversion nanoparticles, semiconductor nanoparticles, stimuli-responsive micelles, polymer- and liposome-based nanoparticles have been applied for light-stimulated drug delivery. In view of the increasing interest in on-demand targeted drug delivery, we review the development of light-responsive systems with a focus on recent advances, key limitations, and future directions.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is attracting significant attention due to its effectiveness in tumor treatment. The efficiency to produce toxic lipid peroxides (LPOs) at the tumor site plays a key role in ferroptosis. A hybrid PFP@Fe/Cu-SS metal organic framework (MOF) is synthesized and shown to increase intratumoral LPO content through redox reactions generating ·OH. In addition, glutathione (GSH) depletion through disulfide-thiol exchange leads to the inactivation of glutathione peroxide 4 (GPX4), which results in a further increase in LPO content. This MOF exhibits high inhibitory effect on the growth of xenografted Huh-7 tumors in mice. The coadministration of a ferroptosis inhibitor reduces the antitumor effect of the MOF, leading to a restoration of GPX4 activity and an increase in tumor growth. Moreover, the construction of Cu into mesoporous PFP@Fe/Cu-SS not only allows the MOF to be used as a contrast agent for T1 -weighted magnetic resonance imaging, but also renders its photothermal conversion capacity. Thus, near-infrared irradiation is able to induce photothermal therapy and transform the encapsulated liquid perfluoropentane into microbubbles for ultrasound imaging.

Abstract
Recently, organic dyes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) have attracted much attention in bioimaging and diagnostics. Relatively, the application of traditional dyes has diminished because of aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). In this work, we compare the imaging ability of nanoparticle formulations of these two kinds of dyes. Boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) was chosen as a representative of the ACQ dyes, and an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dye BPMT was used for comparison. BODIPY and BPMT were entrapped into PEG5k-PLA10k to form BODIPY-loaded NPs (BNPs) and BPMT-loaded NPs (ANPs), respectively. In vivo and ex vivo imaging demonstrated that BNP1 with ultralow BODIPY load (0.07%) can effectively accumulate in tumor tissues and enable long-term noninvasive imaging. In contrast, ANP4 with high BPMT load (1.6%) has poor bioimaging ability. In general, our work has certain reference significance for the application of ACQ dyes and AIEgens in bioimaging, diagnostics, and theranostics. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this work, Boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) was chosen as a representative of ACQ dyes. As a control, (Z)-2-(4'-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3-(7-(4-(bis(4methoxyphenyl)amino) phenyl) benzo[c] [1,2,5] thiadiazol-4-yl) acrylonitrile (BPMT) was selected as an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dye. BODIPY and BPMT was entrapped into PEG5k-PLA10k to form BODIPY-loaded NPs (BNPs) and BPMT-loaded NPs (ANPs), respectively. In vivo and ex vivo imaging demonstrated that BNP1 with ultralow BODIPY load (0.07%) can effectively accumulate in tumor tissues and realize long-term noninvasive imaging. The weaknesses of ACQ effect can be converted into advantages by skillful use of nanotechnology, which can not only save the cost but also realize high efficiency targeted cancer imaging.

Multimodal theranostics augmented by transmembrane polymer-sealed nano-enzymatic porous MoS 2 nanoflowers. Int J Pharm 2020; 586:119606. [PMID: 32634458 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2020.119606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2020] [Revised: 06/23/2020] [Accepted: 06/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Developing an all-in-one multimodal theranostic platform that can synergistically integrate sensitive photoacoustic (PA) imaging, enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) as well as the nano-enzyme activated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) presents a great challenge for the current nanomedicine design. Herein, a simple hydrothermal method was used to prepare porous molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoflowers. These nanoflowers were assembled by three dimensional (3D)-stacked MoS2 nanosheets with plentiful pores and large surfaces, which thus exhibited enhanced photothermal conversion via light trapping and peroxidase (POD)-like activity via active defects exposure. Consequently, this 3D-MoS2 nanostructure could be well-sealed by polyethylene glycol-polyethylenimine polymer modified with nucleolar translocation signal sequence of the LIM Kinase 2 protein (LNP) via strong electrostatic interaction, which not only benefited to stably deliver anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) into the tumor cells for pH/NIR-responsive chemotherapy, but also provided strong photoacoustic, photothermal performances and stimulated generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for imaging-guided PTT/PDT/CDT combined therapy. This work promised a simple all-in-one multimodal theranostic platform to augment the potential antitumoral therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
The complicated preparation procedure and carrier's suspicious biocompatibility are two major limitations for traditional drug carrier. In this manuscript, a novel polyion complex (PIC) was prepared by simply mixing two biocompatible components, thiolated heparin and doxorubicin (DOX), and subsequently crosslinking under atmosphere, so that it can overcome the above limitations. The PIC's particle size kept stable for one week storage in PBS, and the particles wouldn't decomposed by the dilution, indicating excellent storage and anti-dilution stability resulting from the crosslinking. The PIC can release the larger amount of DOX in acidic environment than psychological environment, and largest amount in acidic and glutathione (GSH) environment, showing the pH and GSH dual sensitive drug release behavior. Furthermore, the PIC exhibited obvious tumor inhibition effect in vivo as well as long circulation ability and low heart toxicity by anti-tumor tests on tumor-bearing mice. Consequently, as-prepared PIC shows promising potential in drug carrier application.

Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy for cancer treatment is usually compromised by shortcomings such as insufficient therapeutic outcome and undesired side effects. The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of combination therapy by integrating chemotherapy with hyperthermia for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated photothermal therapy, which has advantages such as great capacity of heat ablation and minimally invasive manner, has emerged as a powerful approach for cancer treatment. A variety of nanomaterials absorbing NIR light to generate heat have been developed to simultaneously act as carriers for chemotherapeutic drugs, contributing as heat trigger for drug release and/or inducing hyperthermia for synergistic effects. This review aims to summarize the recent development of advanced nanomaterials in chemo-photothermal combination therapy, including metal-, carbon-based nanomaterials and particularly organic nanomaterials. The potential challenges and perspectives for the future development of nanomaterials-based chemo-photothermal therapy were also discussed.

Abstract
Melphalan (MEL) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent for treatment of retinoblastoma (Rb) which is the most common childhood malignancy. However, the inherent cardiopulmonary toxicity and hazardous integration limit its therapeutic effect on RB. N-Acetylheparosan (AH), a natural heparin-like polysaccharide in mammals with long circulation effect and good biocompatibility, was linked by d-α-tocopherol acid succinate (VES) via and cystamine (CYS) to synthesize reduction-responsive N-acetylheparosan-CYS-Vitamin E succinate (AHV) copolymers. In addition, CYS was replaced by adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) to obtain a control of non-reduction-responsive polymers N-acetylheparosan-ADH-Vitamin E succinate (ADV). MEL-loaded AHV micelles (MEL/AHV) as well as ADV micelles (MEL/ADV) were prepared with small particle size and high drug loading content. In vitro drug release showed that MEL/AHV micelles presented obvious reduction-triggered release behavior compared with MEL/ADV. In vitro antitumor effects were investigated using WERI-Rb-1 retinoblastoma cells. Cytotoxicity experiments showed that the IC50 of MEL/AHV was significantly lower than that of free MEL and MEL/ADV, suggesting that MEL/AHV enhanced the cytotoxicity against retinoblastoma cells. Furthermore, MEL/AHV micelles were more easily uptaken by multiple pathways compared with MEL/ADV and free MEL. Therefore, MEL/AHV might be a potential delivery system for enhanced delivery of melphalan to Rb cells.

Abstract
Currently, the simple integration of multiple therapeutic agents within a single nanostructure for combating multidrug resistance (MDR) tumors yet remains a challenge. Herein, we report a photoresponsive nanocluster (NC) system prepared by installing polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticle clusters on the surface of d-α-tocopheryl poly(ethylene glycol) 1000 succinate (TPGS) (a drug efflux inhibitor) micelles solubilized with IR780 (a photosensitizer) to achieve a combined chemotherapy (CT)/photothermal therapy (PTT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT) for drug-resistant breast cancer. Mediated by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer and radical scavenging properties of PDA, NC shows prominently quenched fluorescence emission (∼78%) and inhibited singlet oxygen generation (∼67%) upon exposure to near-infrared (NIR) light (808 nm, 0.5 W cm-2), favoring a highly efficient PTT module. Meanwhile, the photothermal heat can also boost the release of doxorubicin hydrochloride whose intracellular accumulation can be greatly enhanced by TPGS. Interestingly, the first NIR irradiation and subsequent incubation (∼24 h) can induce the gradual relocation and disintegration of PDA nanoparticles, thereby leading to activated PDT therapy under the second irradiation. Upon the temporally controlled sequential application of PTT/PDT, the developed NC exhibited a great potential to treat MDR cancer both in vitro and in vivo. These findings suggest that complementary interactions among PTT/PDT/CT modalities can enhance the efficiency of the combined therapy for MDR tumor.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light-induced photothermal agent-based stimuli-responsive materials have attracted great interest from researchers. However, the highly smart release with precise control by NIR light is not yet well established because of the lack or inadequacy of intelligent release systems, such as premature release of drug and/or photothermal agent. Herein, we put forward a novel and convenient strategy to synthesize cyanine dye-functionalized polymeric materials, where cyanine dye was schemed to attach to polymeric materials by copolymerization, endowing the polymeric materials with NIR light-responsive photothermal property and fluorescent nature for real-time imaging of endocytosis and intracellular trafficking of nanovehicles. Meanwhile, the chemotherapy drug DOX was introduced into the cyanine-containing polymeric materials via formation of dynamic covalent hydrazone bond to circumvent the blood circulation barrier. The nanovehicles displayed fine pH/NIR light-controlled drug release and excellent tumor intracellular drug transposition, which were ulteriorly combined with photo-triggered hyperthermia for enhanced antitumor effect. Therefore, this multipronged design of theranostic nanovehicles with endogenous and exogenous stimuli-responsiveness provides a novel strategy to attain highly smart drug delivery for precise cancer therapy.
