Abstract
The chirality of materials directly influences their transport and biological effects in physiological conditions. However, the impact of chiral materials on cellular metabolic reprogramming remains incompletely elucidated. In this study, we have synthesized chiral gold particles through a light-driven particle growth approach and demonstrated that d-Au particles exhibited superior macrophage activation ability compared to l-Au particles. An inflammatory creatine-phosphocreatine shunt was induced following d-Au stimulation. This shunt, facilitated by the upregulated expression of creatine kinase muscle-type (CKM), also resulted in a reduction in cytosolic levels of creatine. Pharmacological inhibition and genetic ablation of CKM further suppressed the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, without compromising mitochondrial respiration. Moreover, the activation of macrophages induced by d-Au was mediated through the activation of the NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways. Inhibition of CKM expression not only decreased the secretion of CXCL2 but also attenuated IL-1β by suppressing the NLRP3 inflammasome pathways. Our investigation into the metabolic reprogramming mechanism of chiral materials on macrophage activation is pivotal for the application of chiral-based anticancer therapies.

MRI-Guided Tumor Therapy Based on Synergy of Ferroptosis, Immunosuppression Reversal and Disulfidptosis. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2309842. [PMID: 38431935 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202309842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells have a high demand for oxygen and glucose to fuel their growth and spread, shaping the tumor microenvironment (TME) that can lead to a weakened immune system by hypoxia and increased risk of metastasis. To disrupt this vicious circle and improve cancer therapeutic efficacy, a strategy is proposed with the synergy of ferroptosis, immunosuppression reversal and disulfidptosis. An intelligent nanomedicine GOx-IA@HMON@IO is successfully developed to realize this strategy. The Fe release behaviors indicate the glutathione (GSH)-responsive degradation of HMON. The results of titanium sulfate assay, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra, 5,5'-Dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) assay and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrate the mechanism of the intelligent iron atom (IA)-based cascade reactions for GOx-IA@HMON@IO, generating robust reactive oxygen species (ROS). The results on cells and mice reinforce the synergistic mechanisms of ferroptosis, immunosuppression reversal and disulfidptosis triggered by the GOx-IA@HMON@IO with the following steps: 1) GSH peroxidase 4 (GPX4) depletion by disulfidptosis; 2) IA-based cascade reactions; 3) tumor hypoxia reversal; 4) immunosuppression reversal; 5) GPX4 depletion by immunotherapy. Based on the synergistic mechanisms of ferroptosis, immunosuppression reversal and disulfidptosis, the intelligent nanomedicine GOx-IA@HMON@IO can be used for MRI-guided tumor therapy with excellent biocompatibility and safety.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical for cellular signaling. Various pathophysiological conditions are also associated with elevated levels of ROS. Hence, ROS-sensitive triggers have been extensively used for selective payload delivery. Such applications are predicated on two key functions: (1) a sufficient magnitude of concentration difference for the interested ROS between normal tissue/cells and intended sites and (2) appropriate reaction kinetics to ensure a sufficient level of selectivity for payload release. Further, ROS refers to a group of species with varying reactivity, which should not be viewed as a uniform group. In this review, we critically analyze data on the concentrations of different ROS species under various pathophysiological conditions and examine how reaction kinetics affect the success of ROS-sensitive linker chemistry. Further, we discuss different ROS linker chemistry in the context of their applications in drug delivery and imaging. This review brings new insights into research in ROS-triggered delivery, highlights factors to consider in maximizing the chance for success and discusses pitfalls to avoid.

Abstract
Synthesis of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-metal halide perovskites (MHPs) heterostructure is garnered immense attentions due to their unparalleled photophysical properties. However, the obvious difference in their structural forms makes it a huge challenge. Herein, hexagonal β-NaYF4 and hexagonal Cs4PbBr6 are filtrated to construct the UCNP/MHP heterostructural luminescent material. The similarity in their crystal structures facilitate the heteroepitaxial growth of Cs4PbBr6 on the surface of β-NaYF4 NPs, leading to the formation of high-quality β-NaYF4:Yb,Tm/Cs4PbBr6 core/shell nanocrystals (NCs). Interestingly, this heterostructure endows the core/shell NCs with typically narrow-band green emission centered at 524 nm under 980 nm excitation, which should be attributed to the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from Tm3+ to Cs4PbBr6. It is noteworthy that the FRET efficiency of β-NaYF4:Yb,Tm/Cs4PbBr6 core/shell NCs (58.33%) is much higher than that of the physically mixed sample (1.84%). In addition, the reduced defect density, lattice anchoring effect, as well as diluted ionic bonding proportion induced by the core/shell structure further increase the excellent water-resistance and thermal cycling stability of Cs4PbBr6. These findings open up a new way to construct UCNP/MHP heterostructure with better multi-code luminescence performance and stability and promote its wide optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Chiral nanoscale enantiomers exhibit different biological effects in living systems. However, their chirality effect on the detection sensitivity for chiral biological targets still needs to be explored. Here, we discovered that Co2+ can modulate the luminescence performance of L/D-glutathione (GSH)-modified copper nanoclusters (L/D-Cu NCs) and induce strong chiroptical activities as the asymmetric factor was enhanced 223-fold with their distribution regulating from the ultraviolet to visible region. One Co2+ coordinated with two GSH molecules that modified on the surface of Cu NCs in the way of CoN2O2. On this basis, dual-modal chiral and luminescent signals of Co2+ coordinated L/D-Cu NCs (L/D-Co-Cu NCs) were used to detect the chiral adenosine triphosphate (ATP) based on the competitive interaction between surficial GSH and ATP molecules with Co2+. The limits of detection of ATP obtained with fluorescence and circular dichroism intensity were 9.15 μM and 15.75 nM for L-Co-Cu NCs, and 5.35 μM and 4.69 nM for D-Co-Cu NCs. This demonstrated that selecting suitable chiral configurations of nanoprobes effectively enhances detection sensitivity. This study presents not only a novel method to modulate and enhance the chiroptical activity of nanomaterials but also a unique perspective of chirality effects on the detection performances for bio-targets.

Abstract
Electrochemistry that empowers innovative nanoscopic analysis has long been pursued. Here, the concept of aggregation-enabled electrochemistry (AEE) in a confined nanopore is proposed and devised by reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive aggregation of CdS quantum dots (QDs) within a functional nanopipette. Complementary Faradaic and non-Faradaic operations of the CdS QDs aggregate could be conducted to simultaneously induce the signal-on of the photocurrents and the signal-off of the ionic signals. Such a rationale permits the cross-checking of the mutually corroborated signals and thus delivers more reliable results for single-cell ROS analysis. Combined with the rich biomatter-light interplay, the concept of AEE can be extended to other stimuli-responsive aggregations for electrochemical innovations.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are closely associated with the redox balance of the physiological environment, and monitoring ROS can aid in the early diagnosis of many diseases, including cancer. In this study, chiral vanadium trioxide/vanadium nitride (V2O3/VN) nanoparticles (NPs) modified with an organic dye (cyanine 3 [Cy3]) were prepared for ROS sensing. Chiral V2O3/VN NPs were prepared with the "ligand-induced chirality" strategy and showed a g-factor of up to 0.12 at a wavelength of 512 nm. To the best of our knowledge, this g-factor is the highest value of all chiral ceramic nanomaterials. The very high g-factor of the nanoprobe confers very high sensitivity, because the higher g-factor, the higher sensitivity. In the presence of ROS, V3+ in the chiral V2O3/VN nanoprobe undergoes a redox reaction to form V2O5, reducing the circular dichroism and absorbance signals, whereas the fluorescence signal of Cy3 is restored. With this nanoprobe, the limits of detection for the circular dichroic and fluorescence signals in living cells are 0.0045 nmol/106 and 0.018 nmol/106 cells, respectively. This chiral nanoprobe can also monitor ROS levels in vivo by fluorescence. This strategy provides an innovative approach to the detection of ROS and is expected to promote the wider application of chiral nanomaterials for biosensing.

Abstract
Plant-wearable sensors provide real-time information that enables pesticide inputs to be finely tuned and play critical roles in precision agriculture. However, tracking pesticide information in living plants remains a formidable challenge owing to inadequate shape adaptabilities and low in-field sensor sensitivities. In this study, plant-wearable hydrogel discs are designed by embedding a dual-shelled upconversion-nanoparticles@zeolitic-imidazolate-framework@polydopamine (UCNPs@ZIF@PDA) composite in double-network hydrogels to deliver on-site pesticide-residue information. Benefiting from the enzyme-mimetic catalytic activity of ZIFs and enzyme triggered-responsive property of PDA shell, the hydrogel discs are endowed with high sensing sensitivity toward 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid pesticide at the nanogram per milliliter level via boosting fluorescence quenching efficiency. Notably, hydrogel discs mounted on tomato plants exhibit sufficient adaptability to profile dynamic pesticide degradation when used in conjunction with an ImageJ processing algorithm, which is practically applicable. Such hydrogel discs form a noninvasive and low-cost toolkit for the on-site acquisition of pesticide information, thereby contributing to the precise management of the health status of a plant and the judicious development of precision agriculture.

Abstract
Chiral CDots (c-CDots) not only inherit those merits from CDots but also exhibit chiral effects in optical, electric, and bio-properties. Therefore, c-CDots have received significant interest from a wide range of research communities including chemistry, physics, biology, and device engineers. They have already made decent progress in terms of synthesis, together with the exploration of their optical properties and applications. In this review, the chiroptical properties and chirality origin in extinction circular dichroism (ECD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of c-CDots is briefly discussed. Then, the synthetic strategies of c-CDots is summarized, including one-pot synthesis, post-functionalization of CDots with chiral ligands, and assembly of CDots into chiral architectures with soft chiral templates. Afterward, the chiral effects on the applications of c-CDots are elaborated. Research domains such as drug delivery, bio- or chemical sensing, regulation of enzyme-like catalysis, and others are covered. Finally, the perspective on the challenges associated with the synthetic strategies, understanding the origin of chirality, and potential applications is provided. This review not only discusses the latest developments of c-CDots but also helps toward a better understanding of the structure-property relationship along with their respective applications.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and acute hepatitis, and quantification of ROS is critical for the early diagnosis of these diseases. In this work, a novel probe is developed, based on chiral molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2 ) nanoparticles (NPs) modified by the fluorescent molecule, cyanine 3 (Cy3). Chiral MoSe2 NPs show intensive circular dichroism (CD) signals at 390 and 550 nm, whereas the fluorescence of Cy3 at 560 nm is quenched by MoSe2 NPs. In the presence of ROS, the probe reacts with the ROS and then oxidates rapidly, resulting in decreased CD signals and the recovery of the fluorescence. Using this strategy, the limit of detection values of CD and fluorescent signals in living cells are 0.0093 nmol/106 cells and 0.024 nmol/106 cells, respectively. The high selectivity and sensitivity to ROS in complex biological environments is attributed to the Mo4+ and Se2- oxidation reactions on the surface of the NPs. Furthermore, chiral MoSe2 NPs are able to monitor the levels of ROS in vivo by the fluorescence. Collectively, this strategy offers a new approach for ROS detection and has the potential to inspire others to explore chiral nanomaterials as biosensors to investigate biological events.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with biocompatible and bio-friendly properties, exhibit intriguing potential for the drug delivery system and imaging-guided synergistic cancer theranostics. Even though tremendous attention has been attracted on MOFs-based therapeutics, which play a crucial role in therapeutic drugs, gene, and biomedical agents delivery of cancer therapy, they are often explored as simple nanocarriers without further "intelligent" functions. Herein, Fe-doped MOFs with CoP nanoparticles loading were rationally designed and synthesized for photothermal enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated treatment. Fe-ZIFs@CoP could generate efficient ROS through the Fenton reaction while depleting glutathione for amplifying oxidative stress. Particularly, due to the photothermal effect of Fe-ZIFs@CoP, the hyperthermia generated by as-synthesized Fe-ZIFs@CoP facilitated the advanced performance of the Fenton effect for a high amount of ROS generation. The promising "all-in-one" synergistic MOFs platform herein reported provides some prospects for future directions in this area.

Abstract
Herein, we introduce a novel integrated system that merges an enantio-discriminative bio-MOF-packed centrifugal microfluidic chip made from PDMS with a user-friendly on-site colorimetric sensor. This innovative approach enables the precise enantioselective recognition of L-tryptophane (L-Trp). This chiral recognition probe was successfully synthesized through meticulous control of nano-ovals-shaped gold nanoparticles morphology and surface passivation. The operational factor of this methodology was optimized to ensure simplicity, practicality, and efficiency. This optimization led to reduced reagent consumption and instantaneous analytical feedback. The integrated system was effectively applied for enantioselective separation and quantification of L-Trp across an extensive linear range of 50 μM-1.5 mM, impressive limit of detection as low as 15 μM. It is noteworthy that this integrated system demonstrated desirable selectivity even in the presence of similar biomolecules, showcasing its robust performance and rapid detection capability. Further extended the application of this strategy to exceptional performance across enantioselective sensing of L-Trp in various sample matrices, comprising bovine serum albumin, bovine milk, blood plasma and urine samples. This integrated microfluidic sample pretreatment, chiroptical sensing, and on-site signal recording with a smartphone hold tremendous potential for widespread implementation, practical applications engaging healthcare and environmental, food safety, and point-of-needs analysis, facilitating successive solution mixing and colorimetric detection.

Abstract
Chiral inorganic nanostructures have attracted a lot of attention over the last few years. Here we report the first observation of chirality in indium sulfide nanoparticles, which have been produced by a co-precipitation reaction in the presence of cysteine as a chiral agent. The process resulted in the production of spherical nanoparticles with an average diameter of around 3.6 nm. Circular dichroism spectroscopy of the nanoparticles showed an intense chiroptical signal corresponding to the indium sulfide excitonic transition, confirming the successful transfer of chirality to the In2S3 inorganic matrix. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of a colloidal solution of the nanoparticles demonstrated critical evidence of chemisorption of the chiral ligand on the surface of the nanoparticles and revealed a characteristic fast chemical exchange between the ligand chemisorbed on the surface of the nanoparticles and the free ligand in solution. Finally, the effect of the chiral ligand's structure on the transfer of chirality was investigated, with consideration of other amino acid ligands, and the critical role of the thiolate group in the optimisation of the chiral transfer was observed. This research is expected to stimulate further development and applications of new chiral semiconductor nanomaterials.

We then discuss the types of MSNs-based nanostructured architectures, as well as the classification of MSNs-based nanocomposites according to the elements existed in various inorganic functional components. Subsequently, we summarize the primary purposes of surface-functionalized modifications of MSNs. In the following, we discuss the biomedical applications of MSNs, and highlight the MSNs-based targeted therapeutic modalities currently developed. Given the importance of clinical translation, we also summarize the progress of MSNs in clinical trials. Finally, we take a perspective on the future direction and remaining challenges of MSNs in the biomedical field.

Abstract
The immunotherapy efficiency of stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-activatable drugs (e.g., 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin, SN38) is limited by their non-specificity to tumor cells and the slow excretion of the DNA-containing exosomes from the treated cancer cells. The efficacy of tumor ferroptosis therapy is always limited by the elimination of lipid peroxides (LPO) by the pathways of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) and ferroptosis suppressor protein 1(FSP1). To solve these problems, in this study, we developed a STING pathway-activatable contrast agent (i.e., FeGd-HN@TA-Fe2+-SN38 nanoparticles) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided tumor immunoferroptosis synergistic therapy. The remarkable in vivo MRI performance of FeGd-HN@TA-Fe2+-SN38 is attributed to its high accumulation at tumor location, the high relaxivities of FeGd-HN core, and the pH-sensitive TA-Fe2+-SN38 layer. The effectiveness and biosafety of the immunoferroptosis synergistic therapy induced by FeGd-HN@TA-Fe2+-SN38 are demonstrated by the in vivo investigations on the 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. The mechanisms of in vivo immunoferroptosis synergistic therapy by FeGd-HN@TA-Fe2+-SN38 are demonstrated by measurements of in vivo ROS, LPO, GPX4 and SLC7A11 levels, the intratumor matured DCs and CD8+ T cells, the protein expresion of STING and IRF-3, and the secretion of IFN-β and IFN-γ.

Abstract
The inadequate quantity of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in cancer cells promptly results in the constrained success of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Significant efforts made throughout the years; nevertheless, researchers are still facing the great challenge of designing a CDT agent and securing H2O2 supply within the tumor cell. In this study, taking advantage of H2O2 level maintenance mechanism in cancer cells, a nanozyme-based bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) tandem reactor is fabricated to elevate intracellular H2O2 levels, thereby enhancing CDT. In addition, under near-infrared excitation, the upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) loaded into the MOFs can perform photocatalysis and generate hydrogen, which increases cellular susceptibility to radicals induced from H2O2, inhibits cancer cell energy, causes DNA damages and induces tumor cell apoptosis, thus improving CDT therapeutic efficacy synergistically. The proposed nanozyme-based bimetallic MOFs-mediated CDT and UCNPs-mediated hydrogen therapy act as combined therapy with high efficacy and low toxicity.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (NCs) have emerged as a promising class of fluorescent probes for cellular imaging due to their high resistance to photobleaching and low toxicity. Nevertheless, their widespread use in clinical diagnosis is limited by their unstable intracellular fluorescence. In this study, we develop an intracellularly biosynthesized fluorescent probe, DNA nanoribbon-gold NCs (DNR/AuNCs), for long-term cellular tracking. Our results show that DNR/AuNCs exhibit a 4-fold enhancement of intracellular fluorescence intensity compared to free AuNCs. We also investigated the mechanism underlying the fluorescence enhancement of AuNCs by DNRs. Our findings suggest that the higher synthesis efficiency and stability of AuNCs in the lysosome may contribute to their fluorescence enhancement, which enables long-term (up to 15 days) fluorescence imaging of cancer cells (enhancement of ∼60 times compared to free AuNCs). Furthermore, we observe similar results with other metal NCs, confirming the generality of the DNR-assisted biosynthesis approach for preparing highly bright and stable fluorescent metal NCs for cancer cell imaging.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and treatment are of great significance for hindering the progression of brain disease. The limited effects of available treatments and poor prognosis are currently the most pressing problems faced by clinicians and their patients. Therefore, developing new diagnosis and treatment programs for brain diseases is urgently needed. Near-infrared (NIR)-light-responsive, lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) provide great advantages both in diagnosis and therapy. Hence, we synthesised nanoparticles comprised of a UCNPs core with surface functionalization. UCNPs@Au was used for NIR fluorescence imaging in the brain and inhibiting the growth of mouse glioma 261 (GL261) cells depending on photothermal properties. In addition, a UCNPs core and a mesoporous silica layer as the outer shell with a tannic acid-Al3+ ions (TA-Al) complex as a "gatekeeper" were used for pH-triggered doxorubicin/small interfering ribonucleic acid delivery in vitro. Based on our preliminary results, we expect to develop more multifunctional nanoscale diagnostic and therapeutic agents based on UCNPs for the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and brain tumours.

Abstract
Chirality is a universal phenomenon in molecular and biological systems, denoting an asymmetric configurational property where an object cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image by any kind of translation or rotation, which is ubiquitous on the scale from neutrinos to spiral galaxies. Chirality plays a very important role in the life system. Many biological molecules in the life body show chirality, such as the "codebook" of the earth's biological diversity-DNA, nucleic acid, etc. Intriguingly, living organisms hierarchically consist of homochiral building blocks, for example, l-amino acids and d-sugars with unknown reason. When molecules with chirality interact with these chiral factors, only one conformation favors the positive development of life, that is, the chiral host environment can only selectively interact with chiral molecules of one of the conformations. The differences in chiral interactions are often manifested by chiral recognition, mutual matching, and interactions with chiral molecules, which means that the stereoselectivity of chiral molecules can produce changes in pharmacodynamics and pathology. Here, the latest investigations are summarized including the construction and applications of chiral materials based on natural small molecules as chiral source, natural biomacromolecules as chiral sources, and the material synthesized by design as a chiral source.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) built from fluorescent ligands frequently exhibit enhanced fluorescence when doped with inert ligands. This study focuses on a MOF of the UiO-68 structure, which is built from a fluorescent dibenzoate-anthracene ligand doped with a dibenzoate-benzene ligand. Our investigation aims to understand the mechanism behind the doping-enhanced emission of this MOF. We rule out several possible mechanisms, including exciton coupling, electron transfer between ligand and metal center, and ligand intersystem crossing induced by the metal center. Inhibition of the interligand charge transfer is considered a possible way to enhance emission. Furthermore, we propose that the conformational change of the anthracene-based ligand in the MOF cavity is also a way for enhancement. Our molecular dynamics simulations of the MOF structure filled with solvents reveal that the steric crowding in the cavity induces a conformational change at different doping levels, affecting the rate of intersystem crossing of the ligand.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocomposites have recently gained intensive attention for biosensing and disease therapy applications owing to their outstanding physiochemical properties. However, the direct growth of MOF nanocomposites is usually hindered by the mismatched lattice in the interface between the MOF and other nanocomponents. Surface ligands, molecules with surfactant-like properties, are demonstrated to exhibit the robust capability to modify the interfacial properties of nanomaterials and can be utilized as a powerful strategy for the synthesis of MOF nanocomposites. Besides this, surface ligands also exhibit significant functions in the morphological control and functionalization of MOF nanocomposites, thus greatly enhancing their performance in biomedical applications. In this review, the surface ligand-assisted synthesis and biomedical applications of MOF nanocomposites are comprehensively reviewed. Firstly, the synthesis of MOF nanocomposites is discussed according to the diverse roles of surface ligands. Then, MOF nanocomposites with different properties are listed with their applications in biosensing and disease therapy. Finally, current challenges and further directions of MOF nanocomposites are presented to motivate the development of MOF nanocomposites with elaborate structures, enriched functions, and excellent application prospects.

Abstract
The sensitively and reliably detecting hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is of significant for biology and environment protection fields. Herein, we reported a high sensitive H2O2 nanoprobe based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) anchored MnO2 nanosheets. In which, DNA modified NaYF4@NaYF4:Yb,Tm core-shell nanoparticles were anchored onto the MnO2 nanosheets surface via π-π stacking. Owing to the luminescence resonance energy transfer, the blue luminescence of UCNPs was effectively quenched by MnO2 nanosheets, then the luminescence could be restored by adding H2O2 for reducing MnO2 to Mn2+, and achieving a H2O2 concentration-dependent luminescence change, the detection limit could reach to 0.23 nM (S/N = 3). The proposed method could detect H2O2 in serum, lake water and real samples. Thus, a desired upconversion luminescence sensing strategy for detection H2O2 in life and environmental analysis was successfully constructed. It may be provide a potential tool in disease diagnosis and environmental monitoring fields.

Abstract
Progress in syntheses and understanding of the intriguing properties of chiral noble metal nanoclusters sparks interest to extend investigations of their chiroptical response to the nonlinear optics regime. We present a quantitative determination of two-photon circular dichroism of chiral gold nanoclusters with ATT and L- or D-Arg ligands (ATT = 6-aza-2-thiotymine and Arg = arginine). Introduction of arginine ligands enables the formation of two enantiomers of the nanoclusters, with strong chiroptical effects in both linear and nonlinear regime. We present two-photon absorption and luminescent properties measured in a wide range of wavelengths, with the two-photon absorption cross section reaching 1743 GM and two-photon brightness ∼1102 GM at 825 nm. We report strong, 245-fold enhancement of the two-photon circular dichroism of nanoclusters with respect to the one-photon absorption counterpart - the dissymmetry factor. The presence of multiple advantages of nanoclusters: high fluorescence quantum yield, strong nonlinear optical properties and well-controlled chirality is a powerful combination for applications of such clusters in multiphoton microscopy.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been frequently applied in Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) bioanalysis. However, the understanding of how surface coatings, bioconjugation, and dye-surface distance influence FRET biosensing performance has not significantly advanced. Here, we investigated UCNP-to-dye FRET DNA-hybridization assays in H2O and D2O using ∼24 nm large NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ UCNPs coated with thin layers of silica (SiO2) or poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). FRET resulted in strong distance-dependent PL intensity changes. However, the PL decay times were not significantly altered because of continuous Yb3+-to-Er3+ energy migration during Er3+-to-dye FRET. Direct bioconjugation of DNA to the thin PAA coating combined with the closest possible dye-surface distance resulted in optimal FRET performance with minor influence from competitive quenching by H2O. The better comprehension of UCNP-to-dye FRET was successfully translated into a microRNA (miR-20a) FRET assay with a limit of detection of 100 fmol in a 80 μL sample volume.

Abstract
Heterostructures comprising lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (DUCNPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as promising nanosystems for integrating medical diagnosis and treatment. Here, the DUCNP@Mn-MOF nanocarrier was developed, which showed good efficiency for loading and delivering a cytotoxic antitumor agent (3-F-10-OH-evodiamine, FOE). The combined advantages of the pH-responsive and peroxidase-like properties of Mn-MOF and the unique optical features of DUCNPs granted the DUCNP@Mn-MOF/FOE system synergistic chemodynamic and chemotherapeutic effects. The DUCNP@Mn-MOF nanocarrier effectively overcame the intrinsic limitations of FOE, such as its unfavorable physicochemical properties and limited in vivo potency. This complexed nanosystem was responsive to the tumor microenvironment and showed excellent tumor targeting capability. Thus, DUCNP@Mn-MOF/FOE exhibited highly selective and bioavailable drug delivery properties and is promising for cancer therapy. In a mouse breast cancer model, DUCNP@Mn-MOF/FOE inhibited tumor growth without significant toxicity. Therefore, the proposed nanosystem represents a promising theragnostic platform for multimodal combination diagnosis and therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based optical nanoprobes for luminescence and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications have been receiving tremendous attention. Every element in the MOF structure, including the metal nodes, the organic linkers, and the guest molecules, can be used as a source to build single/multi-emission signals for the intended analytical purposes. For SERS applications, the MOF can not only be used directly as a SERS substrate, but can also improve the stability and reproducibility of the metal-based substrates. Additionally, the porosity and large specific surface area give MOF a sieving effect and target molecule enrichment ability, both of which are helpful for improving detection selectivity and sensitivity. This mini-review summarizes the advances of MOF-based optical detection methods, including luminescence and SERS, and also provides perspectives on future efforts.

Abstract
Just-in-time evaluation of drug resistance in situ will greatly facilitate the achievement of precision cancer therapy. The rapid elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the key to chemotherapy. Hence, suppressed ROS production is an important marker for chemotherapy drug resistance. Herein, a NIR-II emission smart nanoprobe (LnNP@ZIF8, consisting of a lanthanide-doped nanoparticle (LnNP) core and metal-organic framework shell (ZIF8)) is constructed for drug delivery and in vivo NIR-II ratiometric imaging of ROS for tumor drug resistance evaluation. The drug-loaded nanoprobes release therapeutic substances for chemotherapy in the acidic tumor tissue. As the level of ROS increases, the LnNPs shows responsively descending fluorescence intensity at 1550 nm excited by 980 nm (F1550, 980Ex), while the fluorescence of the LnNPs at 1060 nm excited by 808 nm (F1060, 808Ex) is stable. Due to the ratiometric F1550, 980Ex/F1060, 808Ex value exhibiting a linear relationship with ROS concentration, NIR-II imaging results of ROS change based on this ratio can be an important basis for determining tumor drug resistance. As the chemotherapy and resistance evaluation are explored continuously in situ, the ratiometric imaging identifies drug resistance successfully within 24 h, which can greatly improve the timeliness of accurate treatment.

Abstract
Nano-fluorescent metal-organic frameworks (NF-MOFs), a kind of newly emerged nano-scaled platform, can provide visual, rapid, and highly sensitive optical imaging of cancer lesions both in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, the excellent porosity, structural tunability, and chemical modifiability also enable NF-MOFs to achieve simultaneous loading of targeted molecules and therapeutic agents. These NF-MOFs not only possess excellent targeted imaging ability, but also can guide the carried cargos to perform precise therapy, drawing considerable attention in current framework of anticancer drug design. In this review, we outline the fluorescence types and response mechanisms of NF-MOFs, and highlight their applications in cancer diagnosis and therapy in recent years. Based on this panorama, we also discuss current issues and future trends of NF-MOFs in biomedical fields, attempting to clarify the potential value of fluorescence imaging guided anticancer investigations.

Abstract
Dissolved oxygen (DO) is deeply involved in preserving the life of cellular tissues and human beings due to its key role in cellular metabolism: its alterations may reflect important pathophysiological conditions. DO levels are measured to identify pathological conditions, explain pathophysiological mechanisms, and monitor the efficacy of therapeutic approaches. This is particularly relevant when the measurements are performed in vivo but also in contexts where a variety of biological and synthetic media are used, such as ex vivo organ perfusion. A reliable measurement of medium oxygenation ensures a high-quality process. It is crucial to provide a high-accuracy, real-time method for DO quantification, which could be robust towards different medium compositions and temperatures. In fact, biological fluids and synthetic clinical fluids represent a challenging environment where DO interacts with various compounds and can change continuously and dynamically, and further precaution is needed to obtain reliable results. This study aims to present and discuss the main oxygen detection and quantification methods, focusing on the technical needs for their translation to clinical practice. Firstly, we resumed all the main methodologies and advancements concerning dissolved oxygen determination. After identifying the main groups of all the available techniques for DO sensing based on their mechanisms and applicability, we focused on transferring the most promising approaches to a clinical in vivo/ex vivo setting.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in physiology and have been applied in tumor therapy. However, insufficient endogenous H2O2 and hypoxia in cancer cells can lead to limited ROS production and poor therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we develop a biomimetic nanosheet material based on the self-assembly of nanozymes that could supply H2O2 under acidic conditions and catalyze a cascade of intracellular biochemical reactions to produce ROS under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions without any external stimuli. In this system, the copper peroxide nanosheets (CPNS), which are pH-responsive, were prepared through coordination of H2O2 to Cu2+ and then modified using ultrafine Pt NPs to form CPNS@Pt. The CPNS could decompose under acidic conditions, allowing the simultaneous release of Fenton catalytic Cu2+ and H2O2 accompanied by a Fenton-type reaction between them. On the other hand, Pt NPs were also released. The released Pt NPs behave as an oxidase mimic and catalase mimic. In this way, the well-defined CPNS@Pt can not only relieve hypoxic conditions but also generate ROS to induce cell apoptosis, thereby paving the way for the development of a nanozyme with multienzyme activity as a therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
NaErF4 is the most extensively studied host for self-sensitized upconversion (UC), and Yb3+ is the most commonly used energy absorber. It has been reported that the red luminescence of Er3+ can be enhanced by introducing Yb3+ into the NaErF4 host lattice, where Yb3+ ions serve as trapping centers to confine the excitation energy. Also, it has been pointed out that the Yb3+ doping in the shell of NaErF4-hosted core-shell nanocrystals can further improve the red emission intensity. Conversely, it can be argued that the Yb3+ doping in the shell always results in the luminescence quenching of the NaErF4 core. These imply that the impact of Yb3+ on NaErF4-based host-sensitized UC is rather complicated and must be probed deeply. In this study, we thoroughly discussed the effect of Yb3+ located in the core/shell on the NaErF4-based host sensitization UC and afforded the related mechanism interpretations. In the NaErF4 core nanocrystals, the green-dominated UCL presented an enhancement on increasing the concentration of the Yb3+ dopant owing to the promoted energy harvesting for luminescence. Furthermore, the emission properties of NaErF4:10%Yb shelled with diverse inert layers were also investigated, and the intensity difference of these core-inert shell nanoparticles could be explained by the lattice mismatch and shell thickness. In NaErF4:10%Yb@NaYF4:Yb with variable Yb3+ doping in the shell, the red-dominated UCL was generally weakened with more Yb3+ localized in the shell, which was ascribed to the competition of energy pooling and energy dissipation of Yb3+ in the outer layer. Therefore, Yb3+ ions wield a two-sided influence (termed a "double-edged sword") on the UC emissions of the Er3+ host. Additionally, we demonstrated the application potential of such UCNPs in water sensing and high-level anti-counterfeiting. This work offers an in-depth insight into the UC mechanism of Yb3+-doped NaErF4 nanocrystals and inspires the engineering of novel luminescent materials with distinguished properties.

Abstract
The development of plasmonic nanomaterials with chiral geometry has drawn extensive attention owing to their practical implications in chiral catalysis, chiral metamaterials, or enantioselective biosensing and medicine. However, due to the lack of effective synthesis methods of hydrophobic nanoparticles (NPs) showing intrinsic, plasmonic chirality, their applications are currently limited to aqueous systems. In this work, we resolve the problem of achieving hydrophobic Au NPs with intrinsic chirality by efficient phase transfer of water-soluble NPs using low molecular weight, liquid crystal-like ligands. We confirmed that, after the phase transfer, Au NPs preserve strong, far-field circular dichroism (CD) signals, attesting their chiral geometry. The universality of the method is exemplified by using different types of NPs and ligands. We further highlight the potential of the proposed approach to realize chiral plasmonic, inorganic/organic nanocomposites with block copolymers, liquid crystals, and compounds forming physical gels. All soft matter composites sustain plasmonic CD signals with electron microscopies confirming well-dispersed nanoinclusions. The developed methodology allows us to expand the portfolio of plasmonic NPs with intrinsic structural chirality, thereby broadening the scope of their applications toward soft-matter based systems.

Abstract
Upconversion nanocrystals (UCNCs) have emerged as a new type of fluorescent probe for sensing applications. Herein, we designed a 980 nm excited upconversion luminescence system, composed of core-shell-structured NaYF4 : Yb,Er@NaYF4 : Yb nanocrystals (csUCNCs) and the triethylenetetramine-Cu complex (complex-I), for quantitative detection of sulfide ions. Taking advantage of the specific recognition of complex-I toward S2-, the as-formed compound (complex-II) exhibits excellent spectral overlap not only in the range of fluorescence emissions of UCNCs but also in the excitation wavelength for UCNCs; fluorescence quenching of UCNCs occurs where the complex-II acts as the energy acceptor. Due to the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged ligand-free csUCNCs and complex-I, the fluorescence quenching is based on the primary and secondary inner filter effect rather than the fluorescence resonance energy transfer process. The detection limit of S2- for the upconversion-based system is calculated to be 2.7 μM, exhibiting higher detection sensitivity over the single complex-I compound measured by the spectrophotometric method. Moreover, no significant variation in upconversion luminescence is observed upon the addition of other interfering ions, showing the excellent selectivity of this nanoprobe toward S2-.

Abstract
Inducing apoptosis in cancer cells is considered a potential therapeutic mechanism underlying cancers. Here, chiral folic acid (FA) conjugated Cys-CdTe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) conjugated with a cancer-targeting ligand were fabricated to induce apoptosis in vivo. Ligand-induced chirality mechanism for FA-Cys-CdTe/CdS QDs was discussed, which is verified by density functional theory (DFT) simulation. Interestingly, we found that the circular dichroism (CD) signals of chiral QDs can effectively distinguish breast cancer cells from normal cells, where a sharp decrease in CD signal and absorption intensity can be seen. Notably, chiral FA-Cys-CdTe/CdS QDs showed significant apoptosis-inducing ability after the release of mitochondrial apoptotic factors. Furthermore, in vivo experiments showed that chiral FA-Cys-CdTe/CdS QDs provide an efficient cancer ablation through the apoptosis process with negligible toxicity, demonstrating their great potential utility in targeted anticancer agent for future clinic application.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers, affecting more than 2.1 million people across the globe every year. A very high occurrence and mortality rate of lung cancer have prompted active research in this area with both conventional and novel forms of therapies including the use of nanomaterials based drug delivery agents. Specifically, the unique physico-chemical and biological properties of porous nanomaterials have gained significant momentum as drug delivery agents for delivering a combination of drugs or merging diagnosis with targeted therapy for cancer treatment. This review focuses on the emergence of nano-porous materials for drug delivery in lung cancer. The review analyses the currently used nanoporous materials, including inorganic, organic and hybrid porous materials for delivering drugs for various types of therapies, including chemo, radio and phototherapy. It also analyses the selected research on stimuli-responsive nanoporous materials for drug delivery in lung cancer before summarizing the various findings and projecting the future of emerging trends. This review provides a strong foundation for the current status of the research on nanoporous materials, their limitations and the potential for improving their design to overcome the unique challenges of delivering drugs for the treatment of lung cancer.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2022; 34:e2109354. [PMID: 35176181 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202109354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Revised: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The chirality of nanomaterials (nanoparticles, NPs) can influence their interaction with cells and biological systems. However, how chirality can exert impact on the immune response has yet to be investigated. Here, the immunological effect of chiral nanomaterials is investigated as a therapeutic and preventive option against tumors. Compared with achiral nanoparticles, chiral NPs with a g-factor of 0.44 are shown to enhance both innate and acquired immunity against tumor growth. It is also found that chiral NPs enhance the activation of CD8+ T and natural killer cells (CD69+ NK cells) by stimulating dendritic cells (DCs). Importantly, L-type NPs induce a 1.65-fold higher proportion of CD8+ T and CD69+ NK cells than D-type NPs. Next, the therapeutic and preventative effects of chiral NPs against tumors in a EG7.OVA tumor model are investigated. It is found that L-type NPs have a significant greater ability to induce apoptosis in tumor cells and prolong the survival time of model mice than D-type NPs. Mice treated with L-type NPs induce the activation of 84.98 ± 6.63% CD8+ T cells and 33.62 ± 3.41% of NK cells in tumor tissues; these are 1.62-fold and 1.39-fold higher than that seen in the mice treated with D-type NPs. Mechanistic studies reveal that chiral NPs exert mechanical force on bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) and stimulate the expression of cytokines to induce cytotoxic activity in NK cells. Synergistically, the CD8+ T cells are stimulated to eliminate tumor cells via antigen cross presentation. The force of interaction between L-type NPs and cells is higher than that for D-NPs, thus further promoting the activation of NK cells and CD8+ T cells and their infiltration into tumor tissue. These findings open up a new avenue for chiral nanomaterials to act as immunoadjuvants for the prevention and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
In the rapidly expanding fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology, there is considerable interest in chiral nanomaterials, which are endowed with unusually strong circular dichroism. In this review, we summarize the principles of organization underlying chiral nanomaterials and generalize the recent advances in the main strategies used to fabricate these nanoparticles for bioscience applications. The creation of chirality from nanoscale building blocks has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically, and the tunability of chirality using external fields, such as light and magnetic fields, has allowed the optical activity of these materials to be controlled and their properties understood. Therefore, the specific recognition and potential applications of chiral materials in bioscience are discussed. The effects of the chirality of nanostructures on biological systems have been exploited to sense and cut molecules, for therapeutic applications, and so on. In the final part of this review, we examine the future perspectives for chiral nanomaterials in bioscience and the challenges posed by them.

Abstract
Understanding the toxicity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is important for improving their biocompatibility in further applications, especially the hematotoxicity of MOFs due to the unavoidable contact of MOFs with blood in biomedical science. Here we report the hematotoxicity and underlying mechanisms of nano-sized zeolite-like MOFs ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 because of their wide applications in biomedical science. ZIF-67 induced significant hemolysis of red blood cell (Rb) through breaking the structure of membrane due to the generation of free radicals, whereas ZIF-8 was hematocompatible. ZIF-67 was thus internalized by Rb and then bound with hemoglobin via hydrogen bond and van der Waals force, which influenced the structure and function of hemoglobin in accompany with heme release. These findings reveal the detailed mechanism of the hematological effects of MOFs on Rb and are helpful to the assessment of the toxicity and potential health risks of MOFs and the design of biosafe MOFs for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), characterized by converting low-energy excitation to high-energy emission, have attracted considerable interest due to their inherent advantages of large anti-Stokes shifts, sharp and narrow multicolor emissions, negligible autofluorescence background interference, and excellent chemical- and photo-stability. These features make them promising luminophores for sensing applications. In this review, we give a comprehensive overview of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanophosphors including the fundamental principle for the construction of UCNPs with efficient upconversion luminescence (UCL), followed by state-of-the-art strategies for the synthesis and surface modification of UCNPs, and finally describing current advances in the sensing application of upconversion-based probes for the quantitative analysis of various analytes including pH, ions, molecules, bacteria, reactive species, temperature, and pressure. In addition, emerging sensing applications like photodetection, velocimetry, electromagnetic field, and voltage sensing are highlighted.
