[PMID: 38950479 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
Neomycin sulfate (NEO) is a kind of aminoglycoside antibiotics. Because of its strong ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity and other side effects, its content in the body should be strictly monitored during use. In this paper, a rapid colorimetric detection method for NEO based on ultrasmall polyvinylpyrrolidone modified gold nanoparticles (PVP/Au NPs) with peroxidase-like activity was developed. Firstly, ultra small PVP/Au NPs with weak peroxidase-like activity were synthetized. When they were mixed with NEO, strong hydrogen bonds were formed between NEO and PVP, resulting in the aggregation of PVP/Au NPs, and the aggregated PVP/Au NPs showed stronger peroxidase-like activity. Therefore, rapid colorimetric detection of NEO was achieved by utilizing the enhanced peroxidase-like activity mechanism caused by the aggregation of ultra small PVP/Au NPs. The naked eye detection limit of this method is 50 nM. Within the range of 1 nM-300 nM, there was a good linear relationship between NEO concentration and the change in absorbance intensity of PVP/Au NPs-H2O2-TMB solution at 652 nm, with the regression curve of y = 0.0045x + 0.0525 (R2 = 0.998), and the detection limit is 1 nM. In addition, this method was successfully applied to the detection of NEO in mouse serum. The recoveries were 104.4 % -107.6 % compared with HPLC assay results, indicating that this method for NEO detection based on PVP/Au NPs has great potential in actual detection of NEO in serum.

Fabrication of superior laccase-mimicking enzyme with catalytic oxidative and photothermal properties for anti-bacterial and dual-mode glutathione S-transferase monitoring. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 261:116501. [PMID: 38905858 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
A novel laccase mimic enzyme Cu-Mn with excellent photothermal properties was firstly prepared via a combination of hydrothermal and in situ synthesis. Cu-Mn nanozymes could catalyze the typical laccase substrate 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DP) to generate the red quinone imine. Further, loading the MnO2 nanosheets with photothermal properties, Cu-Mn nanozymes possessed not only excellent laccase catalytic activity, but also high photothermal conversion efficiency. The presence of glutathione S-transferase (GST) recovered the glutathione (GSH)-induced weakness of the laccase activity and photothermal properties of Cu-Mn. Hence, a GST enzyme-regulated dual-mode sensing strategy was established based on Cu-Mn nanozymes. The detection limits of GST monitoring based on colorimetric and photothermal methods were 0.092 and 0.087 U/L with response times of 20 min and 8 min, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed method enabled the measuring of GST levels in human serum and was successfully employed in the primary evaluation of hepatitis patients. Another attraction, the impressive photothermal behavior also endowed the Cu-Mn nanozymes with promising antimicrobial properties, which exhibited significant antimicrobial effects against Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus). Unsurprisingly, multifunctional Cu-Mn nanozymes certainly explore new paths in biochemical analysis and antimicrobial applications.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the first peroxidase nanozyme (Fe3O4), numerous nanomaterials have been reported to exhibit intrinsic enzyme-like activity toward inorganic oxygen species, such as H2O2, oxygen, and O2 -. However, the exploration of nanozymes targeting organic compounds holds transformative potential in the realm of industrial synthesis.

Abstract
Understanding the structure-function relationships encoded on chiral catalysts is important for investigating the fundamental principles of catalytic enantioselectivity. Herein, the synthesis and self-assembly of naphthalene substituted bis-l/d-histidine amphiphiles (bis-l/d-NapHis) in DMF/water solution mixture is reported. The resulting supramolecular assemblies featuring well-defined P/M nanoribbons (NRs). With combination of the (P/M)-NR and metal ion catalytic centers (Mn+ = Co2+, Cu2+, Fe3+), the (P)-NR-Mn+ as chiral supramolecular catalysts show catalytic preference to 3,4-dihydroxy-S-phenylalanine (S-DOPA) oxidation while the (M)-NR-Mn+ show enantioselective bias to R-DOPA oxidation. In contrast, their monomeric counterparts bis-l/d-NapHis-Mn+ display an inverse and dramatically lower catalytic selectivity in the R/S-DOPA oxidation. Among them, the Co2+-coordinated supramolecular nanostructures show the highest catalytic efficiency and enantioselectivity (select factor up to 2.70), while the Fe3+-coordinated monomeric ones show nearly racemic products. Analysis of the kinetic results suggests that the synergistic effect between metal ions and the chiral supramolecular NRs can significantly regulate the enantioselective catalytic activity, while the metal ion-mediated monomeric bis-l/d-NapHis were less active. The studies on association constants and activation energies reveal the difference in catalytic efficiency and enantioselectivity resulting from the different energy barriers and binding affinities existed between the chiral molecular/supramolecular structures and R/S-DOPA enantiomers. This work clarifies the correlation between chiral molecular/supramolecular structures and enantioselective catalytic activity, shedding new light on the rational design of chiral catalysts with outstanding enantioselectivity.

Abstract
As nanoscale materials with the function of catalyzing substrates through enzymatic kinetics, nanozymes are regarded as potential alternatives to natural enzymes. Compared to protein-based enzymes, nanozymes exhibit attractive characteristics of low preparation cost, robust activity, flexible performance adjustment, and versatile functionalization. These advantages endow them with wide use from biochemical sensing and environmental remediation to medical theranostics. Especially in biomedical diagnosis, the feature of catalytic signal amplification provided by nanozymes makes them function as emerging labels for the detection of biomarkers and diseases, with rapid developments observed in recent years. To provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress made in this dynamic field, here an overview of biomedical diagnosis enabled by nanozymes is provided. This review first summarizes the synthesis of nanozyme materials and then discusses the main strategies applied to enhance their catalytic activity and specificity. Subsequently, representative utilization of nanozymes combined with biological elements in disease diagnosis is reviewed, including the detection of biomarkers related to metabolic, cardiovascular, nervous, and digestive diseases as well as cancers. Finally, some development trends in nanozyme-enabled biomedical diagnosis are highlighted, and corresponding challenges are also pointed out, aiming to inspire future efforts to further advance this promising field.

Abstract
Defect engineering is an effective strategy to enhance the enzyme-like activity of nanozymes. However, previous efforts have primarily focused on introducing defects via de novo synthesis and post-synthetic treatment, overlooking the dynamic evolution of defects during the catalytic process involving highly reactive oxygen species. Herein, a defect-engineered metal-organic framework (MOF) nanozyme with mixed linkers is reported. Over twofold peroxidase (POD)-like activity enhancement compared with unmodified nanozyme highlights the critical role of in situ defect formation in enhancing the catalytic performance of nanozyme. Experimental results reveal that highly active hydroxyl radical (•OH) generated in the catalytic process etches the 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid ligands, contributing to electronic structure modulation of metal sites and enlarged pore sizes in the framework. The self-enhanced POD-like activity induced by in situ defect engineering promotes the generation of •OH, holding promise in colorimetric sensing for detecting dichlorvos. Utilizing smartphone photography for RGB value extraction, the resultant sensing platform achieves the detection for dichlorvos ranging from 5 to 300 ng mL-1 with a low detection limit of 2.06 ng mL-1. This pioneering work in creating in situ defects in MOFs to improve catalytic activity offers a novel perspective on traditional defect engineering.

Abstract
Hydrolytic nanozyme-based visual colorimetry has emerged as a promising strategy for the detection of aluminum ions. However, most studies focus on simulating the structure of natural enzymes while neglecting to regulate the rate of hydrolysis-related steps, leading to low enzyme-like activity for hydrolytic nanozymes. Herein, we constructed a ruthenium dioxide (RuO2) in situ embedded cerium oxide (CeO2) nanozyme (RuO2/CeO2) with a Lewis acid-base pair (Ce-O-Ru-OH), which can simulate the catalytic behavior of phosphatase (PPase) and can be quantitatively quenched by Al3+ to achieve accurate and sensitive Al3+ colorimetric sensing detection. The incorporation of Ru into CeO2 nanorods accelerates the dissociation of H2O, followed by subsequent combination of hydroxide species to Lewis acidic Ce-O sites. This synergistic effect facilitates substrate activation and significantly enhances the hydrolysis activity of the nanozyme. The results show that the RuO2/CeO2 nanozyme exhibits a limit of detection as low as 0.5 ng/mL. We also demonstrate their efficacy in detecting Al3+ in various practical food samples. This study offers novel insights into the advancement of highly sensitive hydrolytic nanozyme engineering for sensing applications.

Abstract
Nanocatalytic therapy is an emerging technology that uses synthetic nanoscale enzyme mimics for biomedical treatment. However, in the field of neuroscience, achieving neurological protection while simultaneously killing tumor cells is a technical challenge. Herein, we synthesized a biomimic and translational cerium vanadate (CeVO4) nanozyme for glioblastoma (GBM) therapy and the repair of brain damage after GBM ionizing radiation (IR). This system exhibited pH dependence: it showed potent Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity in a neutral environment and Peroxidase (POD) enzyme activity in an acidic environment. In GBM cells, this system acted in lysosomes, causing cellular damage and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation; in neuronal cells, this nanozyme could undergo lysosomal escape and nanozyme aggregation with mitochondria, reversing the mitochondrial damage caused by IR and restoring the expression level of the antiapoptotic BCL-2 protein. Mechanistically, we believe that this distribution difference is related to the specific uptake internalization mechanism and lysosomal repair pathway in neurons, and ultimately led to the dual effect of tumor killing and nerve repair in the in vivo model. In summary, this study provides insight into the repair of brain damage after GBM radiation therapy.

Abstract
Ferroptosis induction is an emerging strategy for tumor therapy. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can induce ferroptosis but are easily consumed by overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells. Therefore, achieving a large amount of ROS production in tumor cells without being consumed is key to efficiently inducing ferroptosis. In this study, a self-amplifying ferroptosis-inducing therapeutic agent, Pd@CeO2-Fe-Co-WZB117-DSPE-PEG-FA (PCDWD), is designed for tumor therapy. PCDWD exhibits excellent multi-enzyme activities due to the loading of Fe-Co dual atoms with abundant active sites, including peroxidase-like enzymes, catalase-like enzymes, and glutathione oxidases (GSHOx), which undergo catalytic reactions in the tumor microenvironment to produce ROS, thereby inducing ferroptosis. Furthermore, PCDWD can also deplete GSH in tumor cells, thus reducing the consumption of ROS by GSH and inhibiting the expression of GSH peroxidase 4. Moreover, the photothermal effect of PCDWD can not only directly kill tumor cells but also further enhance its own enzyme activities, consequently promoting ferroptosis in tumor cells. In addition, WZB117 can reduce the expression of heat shock protein 90 by inhibiting glucose transport, thereby reducing the thermal resistance of tumor cells and further improving the therapeutic effect. Finally, X-ray computed tomography imaging of PCDWD guides it to achieve efficient tumor therapy.

Abstract
There is a growing and urgent need for developing novel biomaterials and therapeutic approaches for efficient wound healing. Microneedles (MNs), which can penetrate necrotic tissues and biofilm barriers at the wound and deliver active ingredients to the deeper layers in a minimally invasive and painless manner, have stimulated the interests of many researchers in the wound-healing filed. Among various materials, polymeric MNs have received widespread attention due to their abundant material sources, simple and inexpensive manufacturing methods, excellent biocompatibility and adjustable mechanical strength. Meanwhile, due to the unique properties of nanomaterials, the incorporation of nanomaterials can further extend the application range of polymeric MNs to facilitate on-demand drug release and activate specific therapeutic effects in combination with other therapies. In this review, we firstly introduce the current status and challenges of wound healing, and then outline the advantages and classification of MNs. Next, we focus on the manufacturing methods of polymeric MNs and the different raw materials used for their production. Furthermore, we give a summary of polymeric MNs incorporated with several common nanomaterials for chronic wounds healing. Finally, we discuss the several challenges and future prospects of transdermal drug delivery systems using nanomaterials-based polymeric MNs in wound treatment application.

Abstract
Transition metal oxide (TMO)-based nanozymes have appeared as hopeful tools for antitumor applications due to their unique catalytic properties and ability to modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME). The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the latest progress made in the field of TMO-based nanozymes, focusing on their enzymatic activities and participating metal ions. These nanozymes exhibit catalase (CAT)-, peroxidase (POD)-, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-, oxidase (OXD)-, and glutathione oxidase (GSH-OXD)-like activities, enabling them to regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and glutathione (GSH) concentrations within the TME. Widely studied transition metals in TMO-based nanozymes include Fe, Mn, Cu, Ce, and the hybrid multimetallic oxides, which are also summarized. The review highlights several innovative nanozyme designs and their multifunctional capabilities. Despite the significant progress in TMO-based nanozymes, challenges such as long-term biosafety, targeting precision, catalytic mechanisms, and theoretical supports remain to be addressed, and these are also discussed. This review contributes to the summary and understanding of the rapid development of TMO-based nanozymes, which holds great promise for advancing nanomedicine and improving cancer treatment.

Abstract
The development of non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals with biocompatible and efficient antibacterial properties is of great significance for the treatment of bacterial keratitis. In this study, we have developed antibacterial iron-doped nanozymes (Fe3+-doped nanozymes, FNEs) with distinguished capacity to fight against bacterial infections. The iron-doped nanozymes are composed of Fe3+ doped zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (Fe/ZIF-8) and polyethylene imide (PEI), which were functionally coated on the surface of Fe/ZIF-8 and imparted the FNEs with improved water dispersibility and biocompatibility. FNEs possess a significant spontaneous peroxidase-mimic activity without the need for external stimulation, thus elevating cellular reactive oxygen species level by catalyzing local H2O2 at the infection site and resulting in bacteria damaged to death. FNEs eliminated 100% of Staphylococcus aureus within 6 h, and significantly relieved inflammation and bacterial infection levels in mice bacterial keratitis, exhibiting higher bioavailability and a superior therapeutic effect compared to conventional antibiotic eye drops. In addition, the FNEs would not generate drug resistance, suggesting that FNEs have great potential in overcoming infectious diseases caused by antimicrobial resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Drug-resistant bacteria arising from antibiotic abuse infections have always been a serious threat to human health. Killing bacteria with toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an ideal antibacterial method for treating drug-resistant bacterial infections. Here, we prepared Pt-Ru bimetallic nanoclusters (Pt-Ru NCs) with higher peroxidase (POD)-like activity than Pt monometallic nanoclusters. Pt-Ru can easily catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 to produce ·OH, thereby catalyzing the transformation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbiphenylamine (TMB) to blue oxidized TMB (oxTMB). We utilized the POD-like activity of the Pt-Ru NCs for antibacterial therapy. The results showed that at doses of 40 μg/mL and 16 μg/mL, the Pt-Ru NCs exhibited extraordinary antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus, demonstrating the enormous potential of Pt-Ru NCs as antibacterial agents.

Abstract
This article explores the intricate interplay between inorganic nanoparticles and Earth's biochemical history, with a focus on their electron transfer properties. It reveals how iron oxide and sulfide nanoparticles, as examples of inorganic nanoparticles, exhibit oxidoreductase activity similar to proteins. Termed "life fossil oxidoreductases," these inorganic enzymes influence redox reactions, detoxification processes, and nutrient cycling in early Earth environments. By emphasizing the structural configuration of nanoparticles and their electron conformation, including oxygen defects and metal vacancies, especially electron hopping, the article provides a foundation for understanding inorganic enzyme mechanisms. This approach, rooted in physics, underscores that life's origin and evolution are governed by electron transfer principles within the framework of chemical equilibrium. Today, these nanoparticles serve as vital biocatalysts in natural ecosystems, participating in critical reactions for ecosystem health. The research highlights their enduring impact on Earth's history, shaping ecosystems and interacting with protein metal centers through shared electron transfer dynamics, offering insights into early life processes and adaptations.

Abstract
Along with an ever-deepening understanding of the catalytic principle of natural enzymes, the rational design of high-activity biomimetic nanozymes has become a hot topic in current research. Inspired by the active centers of natural enzymes consisting of catalytic sites and binding pockets, a Cu-doped CoS2 hollow nanocube (Cu/CoS2 HNCs) nanozyme integrating substitution defects and vacancies is developed through a defect engineering strategy. It is shown that the vacancies and substitution defects in the developed Cu/CoS2 HNC nanozymes serve as binding pockets and catalytic sites, respectively. The construction of this key active center and the accelerated electron transfer from the Co/Cu redox cycle significantly improve the substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency of the Cu/CoS2 HNCs nanozymes, which results in the excellent catalytic performance of the Cu/CoS2 HNC nanozymes. Using the superior enzymatic activity of Cu/CoS2 HNCs, a fluorescence detection platform for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is established, which is a wider detection range and lower limit of detection (LOD) than previous work. This work broadens the family of nanozymes and provide a new idea for the development of novel nanozymes with high enzyme activity, as well as a guideline for the construction of highly sensitive fluorescent sensors.

Gadolinium Doping Modulates the Enzyme-like Activity and Radical-Scavenging Properties of CeO 2 Nanoparticles. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:769. [PMID: 38727363 PMCID: PMC11085435 DOI: 10.3390/nano14090769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Their unique physicochemical properties and multi-enzymatic activity make CeO2 nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) the most promising active component of the next generation of theranostic drugs. When doped with gadolinium ions, CeO2 NPs constitute a new type of contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging, possessing improved biocatalytic properties and a high level of biocompatibility. The present study is focused on an in-depth analysis of the enzyme-like properties of gadolinium-doped CeO2 NPs (CeO2:Gd NPs) and their antioxidant activity against superoxide anion radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and alkylperoxyl radicals. Using an anion-exchange method, CeO2:Gd NPs (~5 nm) with various Gd-doping levels (10 mol.% or 20 mol.%) were synthesized. The radical-scavenging properties and biomimetic activities (namely SOD- and peroxidase-like activities) of CeO2:Gd NPs were assessed using a chemiluminescent method with selective chemical probes: luminol, lucigenin, and L-012 (a highly sensitive luminol analogue). In particular, gadolinium doping has been shown to enhance the radical-scavenging properties of CeO2 NPs. Unexpectedly, both bare CeO2 NPs and CeO2:Gd NPs did not exhibit SOD-like activity, acting as pro-oxidants and contributing to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Gadolinium doping caused an increase in the pro-oxidant properties of nanoscale CeO2. At the same time, CeO2:Gd NPs did not significantly inhibit the intrinsic activity of the natural enzyme superoxide dismutase, and CeO2:Gd NPs conjugated with SOD demonstrated SOD-like activity. In contrast to SOD-like properties, peroxidase-like activity was observed for both bare CeO2 NPs and CeO2:Gd NPs. This type of enzyme-like activity was found to be pH-dependent. In a neutral medium (pH = 7.4), nanoscale CeO2 acted as a prooxidant enzyme (peroxidase), while in an alkaline medium (pH = 8.6), it lost its catalytic properties; thus, it cannot be regarded as a nanozyme. Both gadolinium doping and conjugation with a natural enzyme were shown to modulate the interaction of CeO2 NPs with the key components of redox homeostasis.

[PMID: 38790904 PMCID: PMC11117955 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12050942] [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: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Achilles tendon (AT) pathologies are common musculoskeletal conditions that can significantly impair function. Despite various traditional treatments, recovery is often slow and may not restore full functionality. The use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) has emerged as a promising therapeutic option due to their role in cell signaling and tissue regeneration. This systematic review aims to consolidate current in vivo animal study findings on the therapeutic effects of EVs on AT injuries. An extensive literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases for in vivo animal studies examining the effects of EVs on AT pathologies. The extracted variables included but were not limited to the study design, type of EVs used, administration methods, efficacy of treatment, and proposed therapeutic mechanisms. After screening, 18 studies comprising 800 subjects were included. All but one study reported that EVs augmented wound healing processes in the AT. The most proposed mechanisms through which this occurred were gene regulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the enhancement of macrophage polarization, and the delivery of therapeutic microRNAs to the injury site. Further research is warranted to not only explore the therapeutic potential of EVs in the context of AT pathologies, but also to establish protocols for their clinical application.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 310:123959. [PMID: 38290280 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.123959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we have constructed a ratiometric fluorescence sensor for sensitive sensing of α-glucosidase activity based on WS2 QDs/ CoOOH nanosheet system. In this system, as an oxidase-imimicking nanomaterial, CoOOH nanosheet could convert o-phenylenediamine into 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP), which had a high fluorescence emission at 575 nm. The DAP subsequently could quench the fluorescence of WS2 QDs via the inner filter effect (IFE). L-Ascorbic acid-2-O-α-D-glucopyranose could be hydrolyzed by α-glucosidase to yield ascorbic acid. CoOOH nanosheet can be converted to Co2+ ions by ascorbic acid, leading to the fluorescence decrease of DAP and the fluorescence recovery of WS2 QDs. Therefore, a novel ratio fluorescence sensing strategy was established for α-glucosidase detection based on WS2 QDs/CoOOH nanosheet system. This WS2 QDs/CoOOH nanosheet system has a low detection limit of 0.009 U/mL for α-Glu assay. The proposed strategy succeeded in detecting α-Glu in human serum samples.

Abstract
The clinical application of oncology therapy is hampered by high glutathione concentrations, hypoxia, and inefficient activation of cell death mechanisms in cancer cells. In this study, Fe and Mo bimetallic sulfide nanomaterial (FeS2@MoS2) based on metal-organic framework structure is rationally prepared with peroxidase (POD)-, catalase (CAT)-, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities and glutathione depletion ability, which can confer versatility for treating tumors and mending wounds. In the lesion area, FeS2@MoS2 with SOD-like activity can facilitate the transformation of superoxide anions (O2 -) to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and then the resulting H2O2 serves as a substrate for the Fenton reaction with FMS to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (∙OH). Simultaneously, FeS2@MoS2 has an ability to deplete glutathione (GSH) and catalyze the decomposition of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to curb the regeneration of GSH from the source. Thus it can realize effective tumor elimination through synergistic apoptosis-ferroptosis strategy. Based on the alteration of the H2O2 system, free radical production, glutathione depletion and the alleviation of hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, FeS2@MoS2 NPS can not only significantly inhibit tumors in vivo and in vitro, but also inhibit multidrug-resistant bacteria and hasten wound healing. It may open the door to the development of cascade nanoplatforms for effective tumor treatment and overcoming wound infection.

Abstract
Multienzyme-like nanozymes are nanomaterials with multiple enzyme-like activities and are the focus of nanozyme research owing to their ability to facilitate cascaded reactions, leverage synergistic effects, and exhibit environmentally responsive selectivity. However, multienzyme-like nanozymes exhibit varying enzyme-like activities under different conditions, making them difficult to precisely regulate according to the design requirements. Moreover, individual enzyme-like activity in a multienzyme-like activity may accelerate, compete, or antagonize each other, rendering the overall activity a complex interplay of these factors rather than a simple sum of single enzyme-like activity. A theoretically guided strategy is highly desired to accelerate the design of multienzyme-like nanozymes. Herein, nanozyme information was collected from 4159 publications to build a nanozyme database covering element type, element ratio, chemical valence, shape, pH, etc. Based on the clustering correlation coefficients of the nanozyme information, the material features in distinct nanozyme classifications were reorganized to generate compositional factors for multienzyme-like nanozymes. Moreover, advanced methods were developed, including the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics method for analyzing the surface adsorption and binding energies of substrates, transition states, and products in the reaction pathways, along with machine learning algorithms to identify the optimal reaction pathway, to aid the evolutionary design of multienzyme-like nanozymes. This approach culminated in creating CuMnCo7O12, a highly active multienzyme-like nanozyme. This process is named the genetic-like evolutionary design of nanozymes because it resembles biological genetic evolution in nature and offers a feasible protocol and theoretical foundation for constructing multienzyme-like nanozymes.

Abstract
The iron nanozyme-based colorimetric method, which is widely applied for biosubstrate detection in in vitro diagnosis (IVD), faces some limitations. The optimal catalytic conditions of iron nanozymes necessitate a strong acidic environment, high temperature, and other restrictive factors; additionally, the colorimetric results are highly influenced by optical interferences. To address these challenges, iron nanozymes doped with various transition elements were efficiently prepared in this study, and notably, the manganese-modified one displayed a high catalytic activity owing to its electron transfer property. Furthermore, the introduction of lanthanide ions into the catalytic reactions, specifically the neodymium ion, significantly boosted the generation efficiency of hydroxyl radicals; importantly, this enhancement extended to a wide range of pH levels and temperatures, amplifying the detection signal. Moreover, the nanozyme's superparamagnetic characteristic was also employed to perform a logical optical and magnetic resonance dual-modality detection for substrates, effectively eliminating background optical interference and ensuring a reliable verification of the signal's authenticity. Based on this magnetic signal, the integration of natural glucose oxidase with the nanozyme resulted in a notable 61.5% increase in detection sensitivity, surpassing the capabilities of the traditional colorimetric approach. Consequently, the incorporation of lanthanide ions into the magnetic nanozyme enables the effective identification of physiological biomarkers through the dual-modality signal. This not only guarantees enhanced sensitivity but also demonstrates significant potential for future applications.

Design of a Zn-based nanozyme injectable multifunctional hydrogel with ROS scavenging activity for myocardial infarction therapy. Acta Biomater 2024; 177:62-76. [PMID: 38237713 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.01.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
The existing strategies for myocardial infarction therapy mainly focus on reinstating myocardial blood supply, often disregarding the intrinsic and intricate microenvironment created by elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that accompanies myocardial infarction. This microenvironment entails cardiomyocytes apoptosis, substantial vascular cell death, excessive inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis. In such situation, the present study introduces a zinc-based nanozyme injectable multifunctional hydrogel, crafted from ZIF-8, to counteract ROS effects after myocardial infarction. The hydrogel exhibits both superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like and catalase (CAT)-like enzymatic activities, proficiently eliminating surplus ROS in the infarcted region and interrupting ROS-driven inflammatory cascades. Furthermore, the hydrogel's exceptional immunomodulatory ability spurs a notable transformation of macrophages into the M2 phenotype, effectively neutralizing inflammatory factors and indirectly fostering vascularization in the infarcted region. For high ROS and demanding for zinc of the infarcted microenvironment, the gradual release of zinc ions as the hydrogel degrades further enhances the bioactive and catalytic performance of the nanozymes, synergistically promoting cardiac function post myocardial infarction. In conclusion, this system of deploying catalytic nanomaterials within bioactive matrices for ROS-related ailment therapy not only establishes a robust foundation for biomedical material development, but also promises a holistic approach towards addressing myocardial infarction complexities. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Myocardial infarction remains the leading cause of death worldwide. However, the existing strategies for myocardial infarction therapy mainly focus on reinstating myocardial blood supply. These therapies often ignore the intrinsic and intricate microenvironment created by elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Hence, we designed an injectable Zn-Based nanozyme hydrogel with ROS scavenging activity for myocardial infarction therapy. ALG-(ZIF-8) can significantly reduce ROS in the infarcted area and alleviate the ensuing pathological process. ALG-(ZIF-8) gradually releases zinc ions to participate in the repair process and improves cardiac function. Overall, this multifunctional hydrogel equipped with ZIF-8 makes full use of the characteristics of clearing ROS and slowly releasing zinc ions, and we are the first to test the therapeutic efficacy of Zinc-MOFs crosslinked-alginate hydrogel for myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Engineering isolated metal sites resembling the primary coordination sphere of metallocofactors enables atomically dispersed materials as promising nanozymes. However, most existing nanozymes primarily focus on replicating specific metallocofactors while neglecting other supporting cofactors within active pockets, leading to reduced electron transfer (ET) efficiency and thus inferior catalytic performances. Herein, we report a metal-organic framework UiO-67 nanozyme with atomically dispersed iron sites, which involves multiple tailored enzyme-like nanocofactors that synergistically drive the ET process for enhanced peroxidase-like catalysis. Among them, the linker-coupled atomic iron site plays a critical role in substrate activation, while bare linkers and zirconia nodes facilitate the ET efficiency of intermediates. The synergy of three nanocofactors results in a 4.29-fold enhancement compared with the single effort of isolated metal site-based nanocofactor, holding promise in immunoassay for sensitive detection of chlorpyrifos. This finding opens a new way for designing high-performance nanozymes by harmonizing various nanocofactors at the atomic and molecular scale.

Abstract
Bacterial infections are the second leading cause of death around the world, especially those caused by delayed treatment and misdiagnosis. Therefore, rapid discrimination and effective elimination of multiple bacteria are of great importance for improving the survival rate in clinic. Herein, a novel colorimetric sensor array for bacterial discrimination and elimination is constructed using programmable DNA-encoded iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) as sensing elements. Utilizing differential interactions of bacteria on DNA-encoded IONPs, 11 kinds of dental bacteria and 6 kinds of proteins have been successfully identified by linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Moreover, the developed sensing system also performs well in the quantitative determination of individual bacteria and identification of bacterial mixtures. More importantly, the practicability of this sensing strategy is further verified by precise differentiation of blind and artificial saliva samples. Furthermore, the sensor array is used for efficiently killing multiple bacteria, demonstrating great potential in clinical prophylaxis and therapy.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials that exhibit enzyme-like biomimicry. In combination with intrinsic characteristics of nanomaterials, nanozymes have broad applicability in materials science, chemical engineering, bioengineering, biochemistry, and disease theranostics. Recently, the heterogeneity of published results has highlighted the complexity and diversity of nanozymes in terms of consistency of catalytic capacity. Machine learning (ML) shows promising potential for discovering new materials, yet it remains challenging for the design of new nanozymes based on ML approaches. Alternatively, ML is employed to promote optimization of intelligent design and application of catalytic materials and engineered enzymes. Incorporation of the successful ML algorithms used in the intelligent design of catalytic materials and engineered enzymes can concomitantly facilitate the guided development of next-generation nanozymes with desirable properties. Here, recent progress in ML, its utilization in the design of catalytic materials and enzymes, and how emergent ML applications serve as promising strategies to circumvent challenges associated with time-expensive and laborious testing in nanozyme research and development are summarized. The potential applications of successful examples of ML-aided catalytic materials and engineered enzymes in nanozyme design are also highlighted, with special focus on the unified aims in enhancing design and recapitulation of substrate selectivity and catalytic activity.

Abstract
"Nanozyme" is used to describe various catalysts from immobilized inorganic metal complexes, immobilized enzymes to inorganic nanoparticles. Here, the history of nanozymes is dvescribed in detail, and they can be largely separated into two types. Type 1 nanozymes refer to immobilized catalysts or enzymes on nanomaterials, which were dominant in the first decade since 2004. Type 2 nanozymes, which rely on the surface catalytic properties of inorganic nanomaterials, are the dominating type in the past decade. The definition of nanozymes is evolving, and a definition based on the same substrates and products as enzymes are able to cover most currently claimed nanozymes, although they may have different mechanisms compared to their enzyme counterparts. A broader definition can inspire application-based research to replace enzymes with nanomaterials for analytical, environmental, and biomedical applications. Comparison with enzymes also requires a clear definition of a nanozyme unit. Four ways of defining a nanozyme unit are described, with iron oxide and horseradish peroxidase activity comparison as examples in each definition. Growing work is devoted to understanding the catalytic mechanism of nanozymes, which provides a basis for further rational engineering of active sites. Finally, future perspective of the nanozyme field is discussed.

Abstract
Reducible metal oxide nanozymes (rNZs) are a subject of intense recent interest due to their catalytic nature, ease of synthesis, and complex surface character. Such materials contain surface sites which facilitate enzyme-mimetic reactions via substrate coordination and redox cycling. Further, these surface reactive sites are shown to be highly sensitive to stresses within the nanomaterial lattice, the physicochemical environment, and to processing conditions occurring as part of their syntheses. When administered in vivo, a complex protein corona binds to the surface, redefining its biological identity and subsequent interactions within the biological system. Catalytic activities of rNZs each deliver a differing impact on protein corona formation, its composition, and in turn, their recognition, and internalization by host cells. Improving the understanding of the precise principles that dominate rNZ surface-biomolecule adsorption raises the question of whether designer rNZs can be engineered to prevent corona formation, or indeed to produce "custom" protein coronas applied either in vitro, and preadministration, or formed immediately upon their exposure to body fluids. Here, fundamental surface chemistry processes and their implications in rNZ material performance are considered. In particular, material structures which inform component adsorption from the application environment, including substrates for enzyme-mimetic reactions are discussed.

Abstract
Identifying the underlying catalytic mechanisms of synthetic nanocatalysts or nanozymes is important in directing their design and applications. Herein, we revisited the oxidation process of 4,4'-diamino-3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbiphenyl (TMB) by Mn3O4 nanoparticles and revealed that it adopted an organic acid/aldehyde-triggered catalytic mechanism at a weakly acidic or neutral pH, which is O2-independent and inhibited by the pre-addition of H2O2. Importantly, similar organic acid/aldehyde-mediated oxidation was applied to other substrates of peroxidase in the presence of nanoparticulate or commercially available MnO2 and Mn2O3 but not MnO. The selective oxidation of TMB by Mn3O4 over MnO was further supported by density functional theory calculations. Moreover, Mn3O4 nanoparticles enabled the oxidation of indole 3-acetic acid, a substrate that can generate cytotoxic singlet oxygen upon single-electron transfer oxidation, displaying potential in nanocatalytic tumor therapy. Overall, we revealed a general catalytic mechanism of manganese oxides towards the oxidation of peroxidase substrates, which could boost the design and various applications of these manganese-based nanoparticles.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) acts a crucial role in the normal operation of manifold life activities and is closely bound up with many human diseases. Here, a SERS-colorimetric bimodal paper-based biosensor based on Mn-doped CDs/silver nanoparticles (Mn-CDs/AgNPs) has been fabricated for high-efficiency quantification of intracellular GSH. The Mn-CDs/AgNPs with fine oxidase-like characteristic and SERS enhancement ability has been assembled onto the Whatman filter paper (WFP) to cleverly fabricate paper chip (Mn-CDs/AgNPs@WFP) which can trigger the oxidation of colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into blue TMBox and simultaneously enhance the SERS signal of TMBox. However, the introduction of GSH inhibits the oxidation of TMB, leading to color fading of paper chip and diminishment of SERS signal. Considering this, the bimodal paper-based sensing platform can be exploited for SERS-colorimetric detection of GSH, manifesting excellent selectivity, reliable stability, and satisfactory precision. The detection limits of SERS and colorimetric detection modes are as low as 0.41 μM and 0.53 μM, respectively. Furthermore, this proposed bimodal biosensor has been successfully utilized for the determination of intracellular GSH and validated by commercial GSH assay kit, which provides a mighty and convenient tool for intracellular GSH detection and can boost future effort about exploitation of other multimode paper-based biosensors as well as promote their appliances in disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Global warming has posed significant pressure on agricultural productivity. The resulting abiotic stresses from high temperatures and drought have become serious threats to plants and subsequent global food security. Applying nanomaterials in agriculture can balance the plant's oxidant level and can also regulate phytohormone levels and thus maintain normal plant growth under heat and drought stresses. Nanomaterials can activate and regulate specific stress-related genes, which in turn increase the activity of heat shock protein and aquaporin to enable plants' resistance against abiotic stresses. This review aims to provide a current understanding of nanotechnology-enhanced plant tolerance to heat and drought stress. Molecular mechanisms are explored to see how nanomaterials can alleviate abiotic stresses on plants. In comparison with organic molecules, nanomaterials offer the advantages of targeted transportation and slow release. These advantages help the nanomaterials in mitigating drought and heat stress in plants.

A highly sensitive colorimetric DNA sensor for MicroRNA-155 detection: leveraging the peroxidase-like activity of copper nanoparticles in a double amplification strategy. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 191:32.

Abstract
A novel and highly sensitive colorimetric DNA sensor for determination of miRNA-155 at attomolar levelsis presented that combines the peroxidase-like activity of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) with the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) . The utilization of CuNPs offers advantages such as strong interaction with double-stranded DNA, excellent molecular recognition, and mimic catalytic activity. Herein, a capture probe DNA (P1) was immobilized on carboxylated magnetic beads (MBs), allowing for amplified immobilization due to the 3D surface. Subsequently, the presence of the target microRNA-155 led to the formation of a sandwich structure (P2/microRNA-155/P1/MBs) when P2 was introduced to the modified P1/MBs. The HCR reaction was then triggered by adding H1 and H2 to create a super sandwich (H1/H2)n. Following this, Cu2+ ions were attracted to the negatively charged phosphate groups of the (H1/H2)n and reduced by ascorbic acid, resulting in the formation of CuNPs, which were embedded into the grooves of the (H1/H2)n. The peroxidase-like activity of CuNPs catalyzed the oxidation reaction of 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), resulting in a distinct blue color measured at 630 nm. Under optimal conditions, the colorimetric biosensor exhibited a linear response to microRNA-155 concentrations ranging from 80 to 500 aM, with a detection limit of 22 aM, and discriminate against other microRNAs. It was also successfully applied to the determination of microRNA-155 levels in spiked human serum.

Abstract
Since the microgap between implant and surrounding connective tissue creates the pass for pathogen invasion, sustained pathological stimuli can accelerate macrophage-mediated inflammation, therefore affecting peri-implant tissue regeneration and aggravate peri-implantitis. As the transmucosal component of implant, the abutment therefore needs to be biofunctionalized to repair the gingival barrier. Here, a mussel-bioinspired implant abutment coating containing tannic acid (TA), cerium and minocycline (TA-Ce-Mino) is reported. TA provides pyrogallol and catechol groups to promote cell adherence. Besides, Ce3+ /Ce4+ conversion exhibits enzyme-mimetic activity to remove reactive oxygen species while generating O2 , therefore promoting anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage polarization to help create a regenerative environment. Minocycline is involved on the TA surface to create local drug storage for responsive antibiosis. Moreover, the underlying therapeutic mechanism is revealed whereby the coating exhibits exogenous antioxidation from the inherent properties of Ce and TA and endogenous antioxidation through mitochondrial homeostasis maintenance and antioxidases promotion. In addition, it stimulates integrin to activate PI3K/Akt and RhoA/ROCK pathways to enhance VEGF-mediated angiogenesis and tissue regeneration. Combining the antibiosis and multidimensional orchestration, TA-Ce-Mino repairs soft tissue barriers and effector cell differentiation, thereby isolating the immune microenvironment from pathogen invasion. Consequently, this study provides critical insight into the design and biological mechanism of abutment surface modification to prevent peri-implantitis.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a new class of functional nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics, have recently made great achievements and have become potential substitutes for natural enzymes. In particular, single-atomic nanozymes (Sazymes) have received intense research focus on account of their versatile enzyme-like performances and well-defined spatial configurations of single-atomic sites. More recently, dual-atomic-site catalysts (DACs) containing two neighboring single-atomic sites have been explored as next-generation nanozymes, thanks to the flexibility in tuning active sites by various combinations of two single-atomic sites. This minireview outlines the research progress of DACs in their synthetic approaches and the latest characterization techniques highlighting a series of representative examples of DAC-based nanozymes. In the final remarks, we provide current challenges and perspectives for developing DAC-based nanozymes as a guide for researchers who would be interested in this exciting field.

Abstract
The extreme toxicity of nerve agents and the broad spectrum of their physical and chemical properties, enabling the use of these agents in a variety of tactical situations, is a continuing challenge in maintaining the knowledge and capability to detect them, as well as in finding new effective methods. Despite significant advances in the instrumentation of the analysis of nerve agents, relatively simple methods based on the evaluation of colour signals (absorption and fluorescence), in particular those using the cholinesterase reaction, continue to be of importance. This review provides a brief presentation of the current status of these simple methods, with an emphasis on military applications, and illustrates the high interest of the professional community in their further development. At the same time, it also contains some peculiarities (high reliability and durability, resistance to extreme climatic conditions, work in deployed means of protection, low purchase prices, economic availability especially in a state of war, etc.) that the authors believe research and development of simple methods and means for the detection of nerve agents should respect.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can be described as nanozymes, species that are able to mimic the catalytic activities of several enzymes, such as oxidase/peroxidase, reductase, or catalase. Most studies in the literature focus on the colloidal suspension of AuNPs, and it is obvious that their immobilization could open the doors to new applications thanks to their increased stability in this state. This work aimed to investigate the behavior of surfaces covered by immobilized AuNPs (iAuNPs). Citrate-stabilized AuNPs (AuNPs-cit) were synthesized and immobilized on glass slides using a simple dip coating method. The resulting iAuNPs were characterized (surface plasmon resonance, microscopy, quantification of immobilized AuNPs), and their multi-enzymatic-like activities (oxidase-, peroxidase-, and catalase-like activity) were evaluated. The comparison of their activities versus AuNPs-cit highlighted their added value, especially the preservation of their activity in some reaction media, and their ease of reuse. The huge potential of iAuNPs for heterogeneous catalysis was then applied to the degradation of two model molecules of hospital pollutants: metronidazole and methylene blue.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are currently being explored as novel antimicrobial agents. In this study, we first investigated the ability of two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets to trigger neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) using neutrophil-differentiated HL-60 cells as well as primary human peripheral blood neutrophils. We then addressed whether the MoS2 nanosheets themselves function as antibacterial agents. We found that MoS2 and Na2MoO4 both triggered NETs, as evidenced by the quantification of neutrophil elastase (NE) activity and immunofluorescence staining of extracellular NE, as well as scanning electron microscopy. The release of NETs was found to be nitric oxide (NO)-dependent. We also found that the MoS2 nanosheets but not the soluble salt prompted acellular NO production in the presence of NaNO2. The acellular generation of NO, suggestive of nanozyme properties of the MoS2 nanosheets, was demonstrated by electron paramagnetic resonance analysis. Electrochemical analysis using cyclic voltammetry confirmed the redox transition of the MoS2 nanosheets. Finally, MoS2 nanosheets inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli in the presence of sodium nitrate. Taken together, MoS2 nanosheets triggered cellular effects as well as acellular antibacterial effects, and we provided evidence for nitrite reductase-like properties of MoS2.

Abstract
Despite their potential for oxidation of persistent environmental pollutants, the development of rational and sustainable laccase nanozymes with efficient catalytic performance remains a challenge. Herein, fungal-produced chitosan-copper (CsCu) is proposed as a rational and sustainable bionanozyme with intrinsic laccase activity. The CsCu nanozyme was prepared by in situ reduction of copper on chitosan extracted from Irpex sp. isolate AWK2 a native fungus, from traditional fermented foods, yielding a low molecular weight chitosan with a 70% degree of deacetylation. Characterizations of the nanozyme using SEM-EDX, XRD, and XPS confirmed the presence of a multi-oxidation state copper on the chitosan matrix which is consistent with the composition of natural laccase. The laccase memetic activity was investigated using 2,4-DP as a substrate which oxidized to form a reddish-pink color with 4-AP (λmax = 510 nm). The CsCu nanozyme showed 38% higher laccase activity than the pristine Cu NPs at pH 9, indicating enhanced activity in the presence of chitosan structure. Further, CsCu showed significant stability in harsh conditions and exhibited a lower Km (0.26 mM) which is competitive with that reported for natural laccase. Notably, the nanozyme converted 92% of different phenolic substrates in 5 h, signifying a robust performance for environmental remediation purposes.

Abstract
Plasticizers are a type of toxic substance that may remain in food, posing significant health risks including carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic, and other adverse effects. In this study, a novel strategy was employed by combining Pt@Au nanozymes with high catalytic properties to created two catalytic signal probes, designated as Pt@Au@Ab1 and Pt@Au@Ab2, specifically designed for the detection of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP). These catalytic signal probes served as the foundation for the development of a colorimetric immunoassay, enabling the simultaneous detection of both DMP and DBP. The colorimetric immunoassay is capable of detecting DMP in the range of 0.5-100 μg/L with a limit of detection as low as 0.1 μg/L and DBP in the range of 1-32 μg/L with a low limit of detection of 0.5 μg/L. The developed immunoassay can be used for the determination of the DMP and DBP in baijiu and plastic bottled drinks. The recovery rate is in the range of 96.4% and 100.5% and the coefficient of variation is between 1.0% and 7.2%. This innovative colorimetric immunoassay offers a robust tool for the simultaneous quantification of DMP and DBP in real samples.

Abstract
Fenton-like radical processes are widely utilized to explain catalytic mechanisms of peroxidase-like nanozymes, which exhibit remarkable catalytic activity, cost-effectiveness, and stability. However, there is still a need for a comprehensive understanding of the formation, stabilization, and transformation of such radicals. Herein, a copper formate-based nanozyme (Cuf-TMB) was fabricated via a pre-catalytic strategy under ambient conditions. The as-prepared nanozyme shows comparable catalytic activity (Km, 1.02 × 10-5 mM-1; Kcat, 3.09 × 10-2 s-1) and kinetics to those of natural peroxidase toward H2O2 decomposition. This is attributed to the feasible oxidation by *OH species via the *O intermediate, as indicated by density functional theory calculations. The key ·OH radicals were detected to be stable for over 52 days and can be released in a controlled manner during the catalytic process via in situ electron spin-resonance spectroscopy measurements. Based on the understanding, an ultrasensitive biosensing platform was constructed for the sensitive monitoring of biochemical indicators in clinic settings.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of glucose represents an interesting field of research with multiple applications. From the biotechnology point of view, glucose conversion leads to the fabrication of different added-value by-products. In the field of nanocatalytic medicine, the reduction of glucose levels within the tumor microenvironment (TME) represents an appealing approach based on the starvation of cancer cells. Glucose typically achieves high conversion rates with the aid of glucose oxidase (GOx) enzymes or by fermentation. GOx is subjected to degradation, possesses poor recyclability and operates under very specific reaction conditions. Gold-based materials have been typically explored as inorganic catalytic alternatives to GOx in order to convert glucose into building block chemicals of interest. Still, the lack of sufficient selectivity towards certain products such as gluconolactone, the requirement of high fluxes of oxygen or the critical size dependency hinder their full potential, especially in liquid phase reactions. The present work describes the synthesis of platinum-based nanodendrites as novel enzyme-mimicking inorganic surrogates able to convert glucose into gluconolactone with outstanding selectivity values above 85%. We have also studied the enzymatic behavior of these Pt-based nanozymes using the Michaelis-Menten and Lineweaver-Burk models and used the main calculation approaches available in the literature to determine highly competitive glucose turnover rates for Pt or Pt-Au nanodendrites.

Abstract
Nanozymes mimic the function of enzymes, which drive essential intracellular chemical reactions that govern biological processes. They efficiently generate or degrade specific biomolecules that can initiate or inhibit biological processes, regulating cellular behaviors. Two approaches for utilizing nanozymes in intracellular chemistry have been reported. Biomimetic catalysis replicates the identical reactions of natural enzymes, and bioorthogonal catalysis enables chemistries inaccessible in cells. Various nanozymes based on nanomaterials and catalytic metals are employed to attain intended specific catalysis in cells either to mimic the enzymatic mechanism and kinetics or expand inaccessible chemistries. Each nanozyme approach has its own intrinsic advantages and limitations, making them complementary for diverse and specific applications. This review summarizes the strategies for intracellular catalysis and applications of biomimetic and bioorthogonal nanozymes, including a discussion of their limitations and future research directions.

Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has found a broad application for testing in point-of-care (POC) settings. LFIA is performed using test strips-fully integrated multimembrane assemblies containing all reagents for assay performance. Migration of liquid sample along the test strip initiates the formation of labeled immunocomplexes, which are detected visually or instrumentally. The tradeoff of LFIA's rapidity and user-friendliness is its relatively low sensitivity (high limit of detection), which restricts its applicability for detecting low-abundant targets. An increase in LFIA's sensitivity has attracted many efforts and is often considered one of the primary directions in developing immunochemical POC assays. Post-assay enhancements based on chemical reactions facilitate high sensitivity. In this critical review, we explain the performance of post-assay chemical enhancements, discuss their advantages, limitations, compared limit of detection (LOD) improvements, and required time for the enhancement procedures. We raise concerns about the performance of enhanced LFIA and discuss the bottlenecks in the existing experiments. Finally, we suggest the experimental workflow for step-by-step development and validation of enhanced LFIA. This review summarizes the state-of-art of LFIA with chemical enhancement, offers ways to overcome existing limitations, and discusses future outlooks for highly sensitive testing in POC conditions.

Abstract
Kidney disease has become a serious public health problem throughout the world, and its treatment and management constitute a huge global economic burden. Currently, the main clinical treatments are not sufficient to cure kidney diseases. During its development, nanotechnology has shown unprecedented potential for application to kidney diseases. However, nanotechnology has disadvantages such as high cost and poor bioavailability. In contrast, biopolymers are not only widely available but also highly bioavailable. Therefore, biopolymer-based nanosystems offer new promising solutions for the treatment of kidney diseases. This paper reviews the biopolymer-based nanosystems that have been used for renal diseases and describes strategies for the specific, targeted delivery of drugs to the kidney as well as the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles that affect the targeting success.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) are novel mimic-enzyme materials with atomically doped active sites. They play a pivotal role in the field of nanozymes because of their excellent catalytic activities, high utilization efficiency of the metal atoms, and simple model of active sites. Herein, the peroxidase (POD)-like SAzymes with high-loading iridium (Ir) (5.31%) on graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets [Ir(III)/GO] were prepared through a coordination reaction between the Ir(III) complex and the oxygen-containing groups in GO. The preparation strategy avoids nitrogen doping and pyrolysis procedures which are the usually used strategies to improve the GO-based enzyme mimic activity. Ascribed to the highly active Ir atoms, Ir(III)/GO SAzymes demonstrate outstanding POD-like activity without the oxidase-like activity. In advantage of the excellent POD-like activity, a simple and sensitive colorimetric pesticide detection platform is established. The developed sensing platform offers an excellent "switch-on" pirimicarb (PIB) detection in the linear range of 10-300 nM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.81 nM. Moreover, the detection platform was fabricated into a portable test kit, which is composed of a test swab and sample processing tube. In the aid of a color-reading APP, the test kit can detect PIB with the LOD of 3.31 nM. It is astonishing to get this excellent detection sensitivity just using the simple colorimetric strategy. This work not only provides a novel strategy to synthesize Ir-based SAzymes but also exhibits the super capability of Ir(III)/GO in the biosensing field.

Abstract
Nanozymes, which can be defined as nanomaterials with excellent catalytic function, are well known to the scientific community due to their distinct merits, such as low cost and high stability, which render them preferable to natural enzymes. As porous organic-inorganic coordination materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess a large number of active sites and thus can effectively mimic the properties of natural enzymes. Recently, MOF-based nanozymes have also exhibited good application potential for the analysis of heavy metal ions. In comparison to the traditional detection methods for heavy metal ions, nanozyme-based colorimetric sensing permits intuitive visual analysis by using relatively simple instruments, facilitating rapid and simple on-site screening.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is an important, but elusive, therapeutic target for osteoarthritis (OA). Antioxidant strategies that target oxidative stress through the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been widely evaluated for OA but are limited by the physiological characteristics of the joint. Current hallmarks in antioxidant treatment strategies include poor bioavailability, poor stability, and poor retention in the joint. For example, oral intake of exogenous antioxidants has limited access to the joint space, and intra-articular injections require frequent dosing to provide therapeutic effects. Advancements in ROS-scavenging nanomaterials, also known as nanozymes, leverage bioactive material properties to improve delivery and retention. Material properties of nanozymes can be tuned to overcome physiological barriers in the knee. However, the clinical application of these nanozymes is still limited, and studies to understand their utility in treating OA are still in their infancy. The objective of this review is to evaluate current antioxidant treatment strategies and the development of nanozymes as a potential alternative to conventional small molecules and enzymes.

Abstract
Although the traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been widely applied in pathogen detection and clinical diagnostics, it always suffers from complex procedures, a long incubation time, unsatisfying sensitivity, and a single signal readout. Here, we developed a simple, rapid, and ultrasensitive platform for dual-mode pathogen detection based on a multifunctional nanoprobe integrated with a capillary ELISA (CLISA) platform. The novel capture antibodies-modified capillaries can act as a swab to combine in situ trace sampling and detection procedures, eliminating the dissociation between sampling and detection in traditional ELISA assays. With excellent photothermal and peroxidase-like activity, the Fe3O4@MoS2 nanoprobe with a unique p-n heterojunction was chosen as an enzyme substitute and amplified signal tag to label the detection antibody for further sandwich immune sensing. As the analyte concentration increased, the Fe3O4@MoS2 probe could generate dual-mode signals, including remarkable color changes from the chromogenic substrate oxidation as well as photothermal enhancement. Moreover, to avoid false negative results, the excellent magnetic capability of the Fe3O4@MoS2 probe can be used to pre-enrich the trace analytes, amplifying the detection signal and enhancing the immunoassay's sensitivity. Under optimal conditions, specific and rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 has been realized successfully based on this integrated nanoprobe-enhanced CLISA platform. The detection limits were 5.41 pg·mL-1 for the photothermal assay and 150 pg·mL-1 for the visual colorimetric assay. More importantly, the simple, affordable, and portable platform can also be expanded to rapidly detect other targets such as Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium in practical samples, making it a universal and attractive tool for multiple pathogen analysis and clinical testing in the post COVID-19 era.

Multimetallic nanoparticles decorated metal-organic framework for boosting peroxidase-like catalytic activity and its application in point-of-care testing. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:185. [PMID: 37296435 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-01946-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a sort of promising peroxidase-like nanozyme but face the challenge that the inorganic nodes in most of the MOF structures are generally blocked by the organic linkers. Further enhancement or activation of their peroxidase-like activity plays an important role in developing MOF-based nanozymes. Herein, a multimetallic nanoparticle (NP) decorated-MOF, Cu/Au/Pt NP decorated-Cu-TCPP(Fe) nanozyme (CuAuPt/Cu-TCPP(Fe)) was synthesized in situ and served as a peroxidase-like nanozyme. The peroxidase-like activity of this stable CuAuPt/Cu-TCPP(Fe) nanozyme was enhanced due to the decreased potential barriers for *OH generation in the catalytic process. Owing to the remarkable peroxidase-like activity, a CuAuPt/Cu-TCPP(Fe)-based colorimetric assay was established for the sensitive determination of H2O2 and glucose with the limit of detection (LOD) of 9.3 µM and 4.0 µM, respectively. In addition, a visual point-of-care testing (POCT) device was developed by integrating the CuAuPt/Cu-TCPP(Fe)-based test strips with a smartphone and was employed for a portable test of 20 clinical serum glucose samples. The results determined by this method agree well with the values deduced by clinical automatic biochemical analysis. This work not only represents an inspiration for the usage of MNP/MOF composite as a novel nanozyme for POCT diagnosis, but also provides a deeper insight and understanding into the enhanced enzyme-mimic effect of MNP-hybrid MOF composites, which in turn will guide the engineering of MOF-based functional nanomaterials.

Abstract
Kanamycin is used widely in livestock farming due to its antimicrobial properties and low cost, but has led to antibiotic residues in food, which can damage human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need for convenient technology that can be used to detect kanamycin rapidly. We found that Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) possessed peroxidase-like activity that catalyzed the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine to change color. Interestingly, a target-specific aptamer could regulate the catalytic activity of Co3O4 NPs and inhibit this effect through aptamer-target binding. On the basis of a colorimetric assay combined with an aptamer-regulatory mechanism, the linear range for quantitative detection of kanamycin was 0.1-30 μM, the minimum limit of detection was 44.2 nM, and the total time needed for detection was 55 min. Moreover, this "aptasensor" displayed excellent selectivity and could be applied to detect KAN in milk samples. Our sensor might have promising applications for kanamycin detection in animal husbandry and agricultural products.
