A narrow-bandgap RuI 3 nanoplatform to synergize radiotherapy, photothermal therapy, and thermoelectric dynamic therapy for tumor eradication. Acta Biomater 2024; 182:188-198. [PMID: 38734285 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.05.013] [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: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Therapeutic resistance is an essential challenge for nanotherapeutics. Herein, a narrow bandgap RuI3 nanoplatform has been constructed firstly to synergize radiotherapy (RT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and thermoelectric dynamic therapy (TEDT) for tumor eradication. Specifically, the photothermal performance of RuI3 can ablate tumor cells while inducing TEDT. Noteworthy, the thermoelectric effect is found firstly in RuI3, which can spontaneously generate an electric field under the temperature gradient, prompting carrier separation and triggering massive ROS generation, thus aggravating oxidative stress level and effectively inhibiting HSP-90 expression. Moreover, RuI3 greatly enhances X-ray deposition owing to its high X-ray attenuation capacity, resulting in a pronounced computed tomography imaging contrast and DNA damage. In addition, RuI3 possesses both catalase-like and glutathione peroxidase-like properties, which alleviate tumor hypoxia and reduce antioxidant resistance, further exacerbating 1O2 production during RT and TEDT. This integrated therapy platform combining PTT, TEDT, and RT significantly inhibits tumor growth. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: RuI3 nanoparticles were synthesized for the first time. RuI3 exhibited the highest photothermal properties among iodides, and the photothermal conversion efficiency was 53.38 %. RuI3 was found to have a thermoelectric effect, and the power factor could be comparable to that of most conventional thermoelectric materials. RuI3 possessed both catalase-like and glutathione peroxidase-like properties, which contributed to enhancing the effect of radiotherapy.

Abstract
Radio-photothermal therapy is an effective modality for cancer treatment. To overcome the radio-resistance in the hypoxic microenvironment and improve the sensitivity of radiotherapy, metal nanoparticles, and radio-photothermal therapy are widely used in the research of improving the curative effect and reducing the side effects of radiotherapy. Here, we developed red blood membrane camouflaging bismuth nanoflowers (RBCM-BNF) with outstanding physiological stability and biodegradability for lung tumours. In vitro data proved that the RBCM-BNF had the greatest cancer cell-killing ability combined with X-ray irradiation and photo-thermal treatment. Meanwhile, in vivo studies revealed that RBCM-BNF can alleviate the hypoxic microenvironment and promote tumour cell apoptosis by inhibiting HIF-1α expression and increasing caspase-3 expression. Therefore, RBCM-BNF had a good radio-sensitising effect and might be a promising biomimetic nanoplatform as a therapeutic target for cancer.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has gained increasing attention by virtue of its high tumor specificity and low side effect. However, the low concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor site suppresses the therapeutic efficacy of CDT. To improve the efficacy, introducing other kind of therapeutic modality is a feasible choice. Herein, we develop a self-amplified activatable nanomedicine (PCPTH NP) for chemodynamic/chemo combination therapy. PCPTH NP is composed of a H2O2-activatable amphiphilic prodrug PEG-PCPT and hemin. Upon addition of H2O2, the oxalate linkers within PCPTH NP are cleaved, which makes the simultaneous release of CPT and hemin. The released CPT can not only kill cancer cells but also upregulate the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. The elevated ROS level may accelerate the release of drugs and enhance the CDT efficacy. PCPTH NP shows a H2O2concentration dependent release profile, and can effectively catalyze H2O2into hydroxyl radical (·OH) under acidic condition. Compared with PCPT NP without hemin, PCPTH NP has better anticancer efficacy bothin vitroandin vivowith high biosafety. Thus, our study provides an effective approach to improve the CDT efficacy with high tumor specificity.

Abstract
Lysosomes are critical in modulating the progression and metastasis for various cancers. There is currently an unmet need for lysosomal alkalizers that can selectively and safely alter the pH and inhibit the function of cancer lysosomes. Here an effective, selective, and safe lysosomal alkalizer is reported that can inhibit autophagy and suppress tumors in mice. The lysosomal alkalizer consists of an iron oxide core that generates hydroxyl radicals (•OH) in the presence of excessive H+ and hydrogen peroxide inside cancer lysosomes and cerium oxide satellites that capture and convert •OH into hydroxide ions. Alkalized lysosomes, which display impaired enzyme activity and autophagy, lead to cancer cell apoptosis. It is shown that the alkalizer effectively inhibits both local and systemic tumor growth and metastasis in mice. This work demonstrates that the intrinsic properties of nanoparticles can be harnessed to build effective lysosomal alkalizers that are both selective and safe.

Abstract
Optical imaging and photoacoustic (PA) imaging have become essential tools to investigate physiological or pathological processes at the molecular level in vivo. The detection of variations at the molecular level in vivo is particularly important owing to the rapid progression of diseases. However, most studies have mainly focused on plain qualitative molecular imaging and detection, which is characterized by the absence of a reference signal in one-channel responsive imaging. To overcome the limitation and quantitatively detect molecules in situ, this Account reviews the recent contributions of our group to the quantitative imaging field in the form of ratiometric optical and PA imaging in vivo in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 950-1700 nm).In this Account, we present recent advances that our group has made in ratiometric imaging probe design and biomedical applications by constructing probes based on ratiometric optical imaging and ratiometric PA imaging. First, we highlight the design strategies of ratiometric optical probes that were based on organic ratiometric molecular probes, radio-activated organic ratiometric probes, and hybrid organic-inorganic assembled ratiometric probes. Subsequently, the design strategies of the ratiometric NIR-II optical nanoprobes with activated bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), and nonradiative energy transfer (NRET) effects provide a reliable tool to achieve the ratiometric detection of endogenous signaling molecules and thereby apply it to the monitoring and evaluation of the efficacy of photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy to guide the treatment process. In addition, we systematically introduce the functional design principles of ratiometric PA imaging probes based on core-shell nanoprobes, core-satellite nanoprobes, and universal hybrid nanoprobes, where we have established that reference signal and sensing signal can be obtained from the random assortment of plasmonic components and organic semiconducting molecules using a phase separation strategy. On these insights, we discuss the rational and detailed biomedical applications of ratiometric PA imaging probes which include accurate quantitative detection of disease-related molecules in inflammation or tumors in real time. In these champion implementations of ratiometric PA imaging probes, different diagnostic modules have been linked through compound modification with activation characteristics (e.g., pH, redox, enzyme, hypoxia). Finally, we present the challenges and perspectives for ratiometric probes based on optical imaging and PA imaging for multitarget design and future clinical translation. We believe that the upcoming generations of ratiometric imaging probes would have promising potential applications in the precise diagnosis of diseases. Finally, this Account may stimulate innovative studies in the design of ratiometric imaging probes and exploration of their clinical applications.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is a key pillar of solid cancer treatment. Despite a high level of conformal dose deposition, radiotherapy is limited due to co-irradiation of organs at risk and subsequent normal tissue toxicities. Nanotechnology offers an attractive opportunity for increasing the efficacy and safety of cancer radiotherapy. Leveraging the freedom of design and the growing synthetic capabilities of the nanomaterial-community, a variety of engineered nanomaterials have been designed and investigated as radiosensitizers or radioenhancers. While research so far has been primarily focused on gold nanoparticles and other high atomic number materials to increase the absorption cross section of tumor tissue, recent studies are challenging the traditional concept of high-Z nanoparticle radioenhancers and highlight the importance of catalytic activity. This review provides a concise overview on the knowledge of nanoparticle radioenhancement mechanisms and their quantification. It critically discusses potential radioenhancer candidate materials and general design criteria for different radiation therapy modalities, and concludes with research priorities in order to advance the development of nanomaterials, to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy and to increase at the same time the therapeutic window.

Abstract
The biosafety and degradability of nanocarriers have always been an important factor restricting their entry into the clinic. In this work, a new nano-system was prepared by coating the photothermal effect of dopamine-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles with carboxymethyl chitin through electrostatic interaction, and is further anchored with folic acid on the surface for targeted delivery of anti-cancer the drug doxorubicin (DOX). The nano-system (DOX@PDA/MSN-CMCS-FA) is simply modified CMCS after being loaded with DOX and has good dispersibility, and the drug loading is 10.6%. In vitro release studies have shown that the release rate of PDA/MSN-CMCS-FA is 40% in pH 5.5. Effective degradation is debris in 14 d acidic environments. Due to the anti-infrared photothermal effects of PDA doping and DOX chemotherapy, the semi-lethal concentration (IC50) of nanoparticles (NPS) was 14.95 μg/mL, which can inhibit tumor cell growth by photochemical synergistic treatment, and have certain degradation performance.

Abstract
The intrinsic high X-ray attenuation and insignificant biological toxicity of Bi-based nanomaterials make them a category of advanced materials in oncology. Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials have gained rapid development in cancer diagnosis and treatment owing to their adjustable bandgap structure, high specific surface area and strong NIR absorption. In addition to the single functional cancer diagnosis and treatment modalities, Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials have been certified for accomplishing multi-imaging guided multifunctional synergistic cancer therapies. In this review, we summarize the recent progress including controllable synthesis, defect engineering and surface modifications of Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials for cancer diagnosis and treatment in the past ten years. Their medical applications in cancer imaging and therapies are also presented. Finally, we discuss the potential challenges and future research priorities of Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window has attracted considerable interest in investigations of vascular structure and angiogenesis, providing valuable information for the precise diagnosis of early stage diseases. However, it remains challenging to image small blood vessels in deep tissues because of the strong photon scattering and low fluorescence brightness of the fluorophores. Here, we describe our combined efforts in both fluorescent probe design and image algorithm development for high-contrast vascular imaging in deep turbid tissues such as mouse and rat brains with intact skull. First, we use a polymer blending strategy to modulate the chain packing behavior of the large, rigid, NIR-II semiconducting polymers to produce compact and bright polymer dots (Pdots), a prerequisite for in vivo fluorescence imaging of small blood vessels. We further developed a robust Hessian matrix method to enhance the image contrast of vascular structures, particularly the small and weakly fluorescent vessels. The enhanced vascular images obtained in whole-body mouse imaging exhibit more than an order of magnitude improvement in the signal-to-background ratio (SBR) as compared to the original images. Taking advantage of the bright Pdots and Hessian matrix method, we finally performed through-skull NIR-II fluorescence imaging and obtained a high-contrast cerebral vasculature in both mouse and rat models bearing brain tumors. This study in Pdot probe development and imaging algorithm enhancement provides a promising approach for NIR-II fluorescence vascular imaging of deep turbid tissues.

Abstract
Thiol-capped metal nanoparticles have two constituents: an inorganic metal and an organic molecule as a shell. Both characters are inbuilt in the structure of the metal thiolate. Herein, we have investigated bismuth dodecanethiolate as a precursor for the synthesis of dodecanethiol-capped bismuth nanoparticles (Bi NPs) by a solid-state grinding method. By using sodium borohydride and bismuth dodecanethiolate, crystalline bismuth nanoparticles are synthesized in a solvent-free environment at room temperature (24 ± 4 °C). Bi NPs are tested for catalytic activity by reducing 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) with an excess of NaBH4. Dodecanethiol-capped bismuth nanoparticles exhibit an efficient reduction of 4-NP to 4-AP within 12 min. Additionally, these nanoparticles remain catalytically active for up to three cycles.

Abstract
As one of the most widely used energetic materials to date, trinitrotoluene (TNT) suffers from several generally known drawbacks such as high toxicity, oil permeability, and poor mechanical properties, which are driving researchers to explore new high-performance energetic melt-castable materials for replacing TNT. However, it still remains a great challenge to discover a promising TNT alternative due to the multidimensional requirements for practical applications. Herein, we reported a new promising energetic melt-castable molecule, 4-methoxy-1-methyl-3,5-dinitro-1H-pyrazole (named as DMDNP). Besides a reasonable melting point (Tm: 94.8 °C), good thermostability (Td: 293.2 °C), and excellent chemical compatibility, DMDNP exhibits some obvious advantages over TNT including more environmentally friendly synthesis, high yield, low toxicity, low volume shrinkage, low mechanical and electrostatic sensitivities, etc., demonstrating well-balanced properties and great promise as a TNT replacement.

Abstract
About 50% of cancer patients receive radiation therapy. Despite the therapeutic benefits of this method, the toxicity of radiation in the normal tissues is unavoidable To improve the quality of radiation therapy, in addition to other methods such as IMRT, IGRT, and high radiation dose, nanoparticles have shown excellent potential when ionising radiation is applied to the target volume. Recently, bismuth-based nanoparticles (BiNPs) have become particularly popular in radiation therapy due to their high atomic numbers (Z), high X-ray attenuation coefficient, low toxicity, and low cost. Moreover, it is easy to synthesise in a variety of sizes and shapes. This study aimed to review the effects of the bismuth-based NP and its combination with other compounds, and their potential synergies in radiotherapy, discussed based on their physical, chemical, and biological interactions. Targeted and non-targeted bismuth-based NPs used in radiotherapy as radiosensitizers and dose enhancement effects are described. The results reported in the literature were categorised into various groups. Also, this review has highlighted the importance of bismuth-based NPs in different forms of cancer treatment to find the highest efficiency for applying them as a suitable candidate for various cancer therapy and future clinical applications.

Abstract
As one of the important types of two-dimensional materials, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely used in the biomedical field as carriers for drug delivery. In this case, we propose a facile synthetic method for preparing LDH-based self-assembly structures via a metal ions-mediated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) transformation process. The as-made hierarchical porous ZIF-8@LDHs core-shell structures and porous cages of LDHs (PC-LDHs) in drug delivery systems are used to study the loading and release of small molecular weight drugs such as doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The intrinsic properties and assembly structures of both carriers are investigated in depth for their impact on slow drug release. Finally, PC-LDHs outperform ZIF-8@LDHs core-shell structures in terms of drug delivery performance under various conditions, indicating that LDH nanosheets would play a decisive role in the drug delivery process. In the drug release system, scattered LDH nanosheets with smaller sizes than their assemblies are gradually produced, allowing nanodrugs to enter cancer tissues more easily across biological barriers. This study provides the preliminary preparation for an LDH-based nanomedicine platform in the field of cancer therapy.

Mitochondria-associated ER stress evokes immunogenic cell death through the ROS-PERK-eIF2α pathway under PTT/CDT combined therapy. Acta Biomater 2023; 160:211-224.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can effectively induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumours and is thus a promising strategy for boosting the efficacy of immunotherapy. However, the mechanism by which CDT enhances ICD and lowers ICD efficiency is unknown and this restricts its clinical application. In this study, a second near-infrared (NIR-II) window irradiation-triggered hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) self-supplying nanocomposite ((Cu2Se-CaO2)@LA) was constructed. The modified lauric acid was melted by the heat energy of the NIR-II irradiation, to expose the CaO2 nanoparticles, and they then reacted with water to produce H2O2 and Ca2+. H2O2 was then converted to hydroxyl radicals by the photothermal-enhanced CDT process of the Cu2Se nanocubes. Notably, the CDT and Ca2+ overload was found to induce sequential damage to the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which upregulated the PERK-mediated eIF2α phosphorylation pathway and caused subsequent ICD. NIR-II irradiation of the (Cu2Se-CaO2)@LA also increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and this was sufficient to increase dendritic cell maturation, attracting cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and suppressing tumour growth in vivo. Overall, we demonstrated that an enhanced CDT strategy under NIR-II exposure and H2O2 self-supply can induce extensive ICD by inducing mitochondria-associated ER stress, which represents a highly effective and promising strategy for ICD amplification and tumour immunotherapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, a second near-infrared window (NIR-II) irradiation-triggered and H2O2 self-supplying nanocomposite (named (Cu2Se-CaO2)@LA) was constructed and tested both in vitro and in vivo. These nanoparticles demonstrated promising antitumor activity as designed. Mechanistically, the nanoparticles could damage mitochondria and upregulate the PERK-mediated eIF2αphosphorylation pathway, further causing endoplasmic reticulum stress, and inducing immunogenic cell death through dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T lymphocyte recruitment augmented activity. This system represents a highly effective and promising strategy for enhancing tumor immunotherapy and provides new insights for future studies and design refinements.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT), the most commonly used treatment method in clinics, shows unique advantages such as strong penetration, high energy intensity, and low systemic side effects. However, in vivo tumor hypoxia seriously hinders the therapeutic effect of RT. Hypoxia is a common characteristic of locally advanced solid tumor microenvironments, which leads to the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. In addition, oxygen consumption during RT will further aggravate tumor hypoxia, causing a variety of adverse side effects. In recent years, various biocatalytic nanomaterials (BCNs) have been explored to regulate and reverse tumor hypoxia microenvironments during RT. In this review, the most recent efforts toward developing oxygen-generating BCNs in relieving tumor hypoxia in RT are focused upon. The classification, engineering nanocatalytical activity of oxygen-generating BCNs and combined therapy based on these BCNs are systematically introduced and discussed. The challenges and prospects of these oxygen-generating BCNs in RT applications are also summarized.

Abstract
Responsive nanosystems for tumor treatment with high specificity and sensitivity have aroused great attention. Herein, we develop a tumor microenvironment responsive and near-infrared (NIR)-activatable theranostic nanoreactor for imaging-guided anticancer therapy. The nanoreactor (SnO2-x@AGP) is comprised of poly(vinylpyrrolidine) encapsulated hollow mesoporous black SnO2-x nanoparticles coloaded with glucose oxidase (GOx) and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). The constructed nanoreactor can be specifically activated through endogenous H2O2 by an NIR-mediated "bursting-like" process to enhance its imaging and therapeutic functions. Black SnO2-x with abundant oxygen vacancies expedites effective separation of electron-hole pairs from energy-band structure and endows them with strong hyperthermia effect upon NIR laser irradiation. The generating toxic H2O2 with the assistance of GOx provides SnO2-x@AGP with the capacity of oxidative stress therapy. Ascended H2O2 can activate ABTS into ABTS•+. ABTS•+ not only possesses significant NIR absorption properties, but also disrupts intracellular glutathione to generate excessive reactive oxygen species for improved phototherapy, leading to more effective treatment together with oxidative stress therapy. Thus, SnO2-x@AGP with NIR-mediated and H2O2-activated performance presents tumor inhibition efficacy with minimized damage to normal tissues. These outstanding characteristics of SnO2-x@AGP bring an insight into the development of activatable nanoreactors for smart, precise, and non-invasive cancer theranostics.

Abstract
With the growing popularity of the non-destructive technique, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) demands a highly sensitive and reproducible plasmonic nanoparticles substrate. In this study, a novel bimetallic core-shell nanoparticles (Au@Ag@mSiO2NP) substrate consisting of a gold core, silver shell, and a mesoporous silica coating was synthesized. The mesoporous coating structure was created by employing template molecules such as surfactant and their subsequent removal allowing selective screening based on the size of analyte molecules. Results showed that the plasmonic substrate could selectively enhance small molecules by preventing large macromolecules to reach the exciting zone of the substrate core, achieving the detection of chloramphenicol in milk samples with a detection limit of 6.68 × 10-8 M. Moreover, the mesoporous coating provided additional stability to the Au@Ag nanoparticles, leading to the reusability of the substrate. Thus, this work offered a simple and smart Au@Ag@mSiO2NP substrate for effective SERS detection of analytes.

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

Abstract
Combination chemotherapy is recognized as a vital medical treatment for cancer, but it has not achieved clinical ideal effects of combination therapy. Herein, we designed a supramolecular combination chemotherapy strategy based on cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), which can be facilely assembled into dual platinum drugs. Interestingly, employing the CB[8] carrier led to a greater than 10-fold intracellular Pt content compared to that of dual drugs at 4 h, and the CB[8] complex (CLE) can enhance the infiltration of platinum drugs in colorectal tumor cells tremendously. The platinum drugs can be released from CLE through consuming more tumor biomarker spermidine. Through analyzing the nanomechanical property of the colorectal tumor cellular surface by bioscope AFM, it was revealed that CLE modified the property by decreasing the adhesion and increasing the stiffness. This study provided a facile and sensitive strategy for improving combination chemotherapy by supramolecular materials.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes), with individually isolated metal atom as active sites, have shown tremendous potential as enzyme-based drugs for enzymatic therapy. However, using SAzymes in tumor theranostics remains challenging because of deficient enzymatic activity and insufficient endogenous H2O2. We develop an external-field-enhanced catalysis by an atom-level engineered FeN4-centered nanozyme (FeN4-SAzyme) for radio-enzymatic therapy. This FeN4-SAzyme exhibits peroxidase-like activity capable of catalyzing H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals and converting single-site FeII species to FeIII for subsequent glutathione oxidase-like activity. Density functional theory calculations are used to rationalize the origin of the single-site self-cascade enzymatic activity. Importantly, using X-rays can improve the overall single-site cascade enzymatic reaction process via promoting the conversion frequency of FeII/FeIII. As a H2O2 producer, natural glucose oxidase is further decorated onto the surface of FeN4-SAzyme to yield the final construct GOD@FeN4-SAzyme. The resulting GOD@FeN4-SAzyme not only supplies in situ H2O2 to continuously produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals but also induces the localized deposition of radiation dose, subsequently inducing intensive apoptosis and ferroptosis in vitro. Such a synergistic effect of radiotherapy and self-cascade enzymatic therapy allows for improved tumor growth inhibition with minimal side effects in vivo. Collectively, this work demonstrates the introduction of external fields to enhance enzyme-like performance of nanozymes without changing their properties and highlights a robust therapeutic capable of self-supplying H2O2 and amplifying self-cascade reactions to address the limitations of enzymatic treatment.

Abstract
The combination of multiple therapeutic modalities has attracted increasing attention as it can achieve better therapeutic effects through different treatment mechanisms. However, traditional small molecule agents are non-specific to the tumor tissue, which leads to off-target toxic effects for healthy tissues. To solve this problem, a number of stimuli-responsive nanoscale drug-delivery systems have been developed. Among these stimuli, a high concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) are characteristic of the tumor microenvironment (TME), which can distinguish it from normal tissue. In this review, we summarize the redox-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) reported in the past three years classified by different functional groups, including GSH-responsive disulfide, ditelluride, and multivalent metal ions, ROS-responsive thioketal, arylboronic ester, aminoacrylate, and bilirubin as well as GSH/ROS dual-responsive diselenide and dicarbonyl thioethers. The prospects and challenges of redox-responsive NPs are also discussed.

Abstract
The emergence of nanomedicines (NMs) in the healthcare industry will bring about groundbreaking improvements to the current therapeutic and diagnostic scenario. However, only a few NMs have been developed into clinical applications due to a lack of regulatory experience with them. In this article, we introduce the types of NM that have the potential for clinical translation, including theranostics, multistep NMs, multitherapy NMs, and nanoclusters. We then present the clinical translational challenges associated with NM from the pharmaceutical industry’s perspective, such as NMs’ intrinsic physiochemical properties, safety, scale-up, lack of regulatory experience and standard characterization methods, and cost-effectiveness compared with their traditional counterparts. Overall, NMs face a difficult task to overcome these challenges for their transition from bench to clinical use.

Abstract
The development of a manageable reactive nitrogen species-potentiated nitrosative stress induction system for cancer therapy has remained elusive. Herein, tailored silica-based nanoscintillators were reported for low-dosage X-ray boosting for the in situ formation of highly cytotoxic peroxynitrite (ONOO-). Significantly, cellular nitrosative stress revolving around the intracellular protein tyrosine nitration through ONOO- pathways was explored. High-energy X-rays were directly deposited on silica-based nanoscintillators, forming the concept of an open source and a reduced expenditure-aggravated DNA damage strategy. Moreover, the resultant ONOO-, along with the released nitric oxide, not only can act as "oxygen suppliers" to combat tumor hypoxia but also can induce mitochondrial damage to initiate caspase-mediated apoptosis, further improving the therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy. Thus, the design of advanced nanoscintillators with specific enhanced nitrosative stress offers promising potential for postoperative radiotherapy of colon cancer.

Abstract
Selective activation of prodrugs is an important approach to reduce the side effects of disease treatment. We report a prodrug design concept for metal complexes, termed "metal-carrying prochelator", which can co-carry a metal ion and chelator within a single small-molecule compound and remain inert until it undergoes a specifically triggered intramolecular chelation to synthesize a bioactive metal complex in situ for targeted therapy. As a proof-of-concept, we designed a H2 O2 -responsive small-molecule prochelator, DPBD, based on the strong chelator diethyldithiocarbamate (DTC) and copper. DPBD can carry Cu2+ (DPBD-Cu) and respond to elevated H2 O2 levels in tumor cells by releasing DTC, which rapidly chelates Cu2+ from DPBD-Cu affording a DTC-copper complex with high cytotoxicity, realizing potent antitumor efficacy with low systemic toxicity. Thus, with its unique intramolecularly triggered activation mechanism, this concept based on a small-molecule metal-carrying prochelator can help in the prodrug design of metal complexes.

Abstract
Metastasis of breast carcinoma is commonly realized through lymphatic circulation, which seriously threatens the lives of breast cancer patients. Therefore, efficient therapy for both primary tumor and metastatic sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) is highly desired to inhibit cancer growth and metastasis. During breast cancer treatment, radiotherapy (RT) is a common clinical method. However, the efficacy of RT is decreased by the radioresistance to a hypoxic microenvironment and inevitable side effects for healthy issues at high radiation doses. Considering the above-mentioned, we provide high biocompatible poly(vinylpyrrolidone) coated Ta nanoparticles (Ta@PVP NPs) for photothermal therapy (PTT) assisted RT for primary tumor and metastatic SLNs. On the one hand, for primary tumor treatment, Ta@PVP NPs with a high X-ray mass attenuation coefficient (4.30 cm2/kg at 100 keV) can deposit high radiation doses within tumors. On the other hand, for metastatic SLNs treatment, the effective delivery of Ta@PVP NPs from the primary tumor into SLNs is monitored by computed tomography and photoacoustic imaging, which greatly benefit the prognosis and treatment for metastatic SLNs. Moreover, Ta@PVP NPs-mediated PTT could enhance the RT effect, and immunogenic cell death caused by RT/PTT could induce an immune response to improve the therapeutic effect of metastatic SLNs. This study not only explores the potential of Ta@PVP NPs as effective radiosensitizers and photothermal agents for combined RT and PTT but also offers an efficient strategy to cure both primary tumor and metastatic SLNs in breast carcinoma.

Abstract
Achieving a complete response to cancer treatment is a severe challenge, and has puzzled humans for a long time. Fortunately, radiotherapy (RT) gives rise to a common clinical treatment method, during which the usage of radiosensitizers is essential. Among preclinical radiosensitizers, bismuth-based nanoparticles (Bi-based NPs) are widely explored in cancer diagnosis and treatment, because they share favourable properties, such as low toxicity, strong X-ray absorption and facile preparation. However, pure Bi alone cannot achieve both efficient and safe RT outcomes, mainly due to poor targeting of tumor sites, long retention-induced systemic toxicity and immune resistance. This work provides an overview of recent advances and developments in Bi-based NPs that are tailored to enhance radiosensitivity. For the fabrication process, surface modification of Bi-based NPs is essential to achieve tumor-targeted delivery and penetration. Moreover, the incorporation of other elements, such as Fe ions, can increase diagnostic accuracy with optimal theranostic efficacy. Meanwhile, the structure-activity relationship can also be manipulated to maximize the chemotherapeutic drug loading capability of Bi-based NPs, to enhance X-ray attenuation by means of a large surface area or to achieve safer metabolic routes with rapid clearance from the human body. In addition, Bi-based NPs exhibit synergistic antitumor potential when combined with diverse therapies, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). To summarize, the latest research on Bi-based NPs as radiosensitizers is described in the review, including both their advantages and disadvantages for improving treatment, thus providing a useful guide for future clinical application.

Abstract
As the least toxic heavy metal, monoelemental bismuth nanomaterials with several superiorities are the ideal theranostic agents. However, bismuth nanoparticles are easily oxidized by oxygen in air or media, limiting their clinical application. In contrast, the oxidization of Bi0 to Bi3+ can activate the chemodynamic therapy (CDT) by transferring endogenous H2O2 into •OH. Herein, a well-designed Bi-DMSNs@PCM nanosystem was prepared via in situ growth of Bi nanodots and a coating of phase-change material (PCM) on the surface of dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs). The coated PCM protects the Bi nanodots from oxidation by keeping them in the Bi0 state for more than 15 d. When irradiated using the near infrared-II (NIR-II) laser with a low power density (0.5 W/cm2), the heat generated from the Bi nanodots melts the PCM shell to trigger CDT through a Fenton-like reaction, accompanied by heat-induced photothermal therapy (PTT). Notably, the CDT can also compensate for the reduced PTT effect caused by the oxidation of Bi nanodots, and a satisfactory treatment effect is realized. Additionally, photoacoustic and computed tomography imaging properties were obtained. Our strategy transfers the detrimental self-oxidation of bismuth to a beneficial therapeutic mode, enhancing the potential of Bi for clinical use.

Abstract
We report a novel multifunctional construct, M1, designed explicitly to target the DNA damage response in cancer cells. M1 contains both a floxuridine (FUDR) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) inhibitor combined with a GSH-sensitive linker. Further conjugation of the triphenylphosphonium moiety allows M1 to undergo specific activation in the mitochondria, where mitochondria-mediated apoptosis is observed. Moreover, M1 has enormous effects on genomic DNA ascribed to FUDR's primary function of impeding DNA/RNA synthesis combined with diminishing PP2A-activated DNA repair pathways. Importantly, mechanistic studies highlight the PP2A obtrusion in FUDR/5-fluorouracil (5-FU) therapy and underscore the importance of its inhibition to harbor therapeutic potential. HCT116 cell xenograft-bearing mice that have a low response rate to 5-FU show a prominent effect with M1, emphasizing the importance of DNA damage response targeting strategies using tumor-specific microenvironment-activatable systems.

Abstract
In this work, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic drug (sparfloxacin (SP)) was selected as a chemotherapy drug and photosensitizer for combined therapy. A facile chemical process was developed to incorporate SP and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) into the thermally sensitive amphiphilic polymer polyethylene glycol-poly(2-hexoxy-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane). In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that 60% of the SP molecules can be released from the micelles of thermal-sensitive polymers using a 1 W cm-2 980 nm laser, and this successfully inhibits cell migration and metastasis by inhibiting type II topoisomerases in nuclei. Additionally, intracellular metal ions were chelated by SP to induce cancer cell apoptosis by decreasing the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase. In particular, the fluoroquinolone molecules produced singlet oxygen (1O2) to kill cancer cells, and this was triggered by UCNPs when irradiation was performed with a 980 nm laser. Overall, SP retained a weak chemotherapeutic effect, achieved enhanced photosensitizer-like effects, and was able to repurpose old drugs to elevate the therapeutic efficacy against cancer, increase the specificity for suppressing tumor migration and proliferation, and enhance apoptosis.

Abstract
Nanozyme-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for fighting bacterial infections faces several major obstacles including low hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) level, over-expressed glutathione (GSH) in infected sites, and inevitable damage to healthy tissue with abundant nonlocalized nanozymes. Herein, a smart ultrasmall Fe3 O4 -decorated polydopamine (PDA/Fe3 O4 ) hybrid nanozyme is demonstrated that continuously converts oxygen into highly toxic hydroxyl radical (•OH) via GSH-depleted cascade redox reactions for CDT-mediated bacterial elimination and intensive wound disinfection. In this system, photonic hyperthermia of PDA/Fe3 O4 nanozymes can not only directly damage bacteria, but also improve the horseradish peroxidase-like activity of Fe3 O4 decorated for CDT. Surprisingly, through photothermal-enhanced cascade catalytic reactions, PDA/Fe3 O4 nanozymes can consume endogenous GSH for disrupting cellular redox homeostasis and simultaneously provide abundant H2 O2 for improving •OH generation, ultimately enhancing the antibacterial performance of CDT. Such PDA/Fe3 O4 can bind with bacterial cells, and reveals excellent antibacterial property against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Most interestingly, PDA/Fe3 O4 nanozymes can be strongly retained in infected sites by an external magnet for localized long-term in vivo CDT and show minimal toxicity to healthy tissues and organs. This work presents an effective strategy to magnetically retain the therapeutic nanozymes in infected sites for highly efficient CDT with good biosafety.

Abstract
Robust colloidal stability is an essential prerequisite for effective drug delivery. Herein, a series of fluorinated paclitaxel prodrugs bridged with redox-responsive linkages were synthesized, and the effect of fluorination on the assembly behavior and physiological stability was investigated. The 17-fluorinated ethanol-modified paclitaxel prodrug could self-assemble into stable nanoparticles without the addition of any surfactants. Fluorinated paclitaxel prodrug nanoparticles possessed potent cytotoxicity toward cancer cells and superior antitumor activity. This study offers a universal fluorination approach to improve drug delivery efficacy by enhancing the self-assembly capability and improving the colloidal stability of prodrugs for potentiating chemotherapy.

Abstract
Efficient theranostic systems can realize better outcomes in disease treatment because of precise diagnosis and the concomitant effective therapy. Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) are a unique type of organic emitters with intriguing photophysical properties in the aggregate state. Among the AIEgens studied for biomedical applications, so far, metal-based AIE systems have shown great potential in theranostics due to the enhanced multimodal bioimaging ability and therapeutic effect. This research field has been growing rapidly, and many rationally designed systems with promising activities to cancer and other diseases have been reported recently. In this review, we summarized the recent progress of metal-based AIE materials in bioimaging and biological theranostics, and deciphered the pertinent design strategies. We hope that this review can offer new insights into the development of this growing field.
