Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a ubiquitously produced endogenous gas in mammalian cells and is involved in stress response being considered as a cytoprotective and homeostatic factor. In the present review, the underlying mechanisms of CO are discussed, in particular CO's impact on cellular metabolism affecting cell fate and function. One of the principal signaling molecules of CO is reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide, which is mainly generated at the mitochondrial level. Likewise, CO acts on mitochondria modulating oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondria quality control, namely mitochondrial biogenesis (mitobiogenesis) and mitophagy. Other metabolic pathways are also involved in CO's mode of action such as glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway. The review ends with some new perspectives on CO Biology research. Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) formation can also be implicated in the CO mode of action, as well as its potential biological role. Finally, other organelles such as peroxisomes hold the potential to be targeted and modulated by CO.

Resusc Plus 2024; 19:100703. [PMID: 39040821 PMCID: PMC11260602 DOI: 10.1016/j.resplu.2024.100703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Post-cardiac arrest brain injury (PCABI) is the leading cause of death in survivors of cardiac arrest (CA). Carbon monoxide-releasing molecule (CORM-3) is a water-soluble exogenous carbon monoxide that has been shown to have neuroprotection benefits in several neurological disease models. However, the effects of CORM-3 on PCABI is still unclear. Methods A mice model combined asystole with hemorrhage was used. Mice were anesthetized and randomized into 4 groups (n = 12/group) and underwent either 9.5 min CA followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or sham surgery. CORM-3 (30 mg/kg) or vehicle (normal saline) were administered at 1 h after return of spontaneous circulation or sham surgery. Survival, neurologic deficits, alterations in the permeability of the brain-blood barrier and cerebral blood flow, changes of oxidative stress level, level of neuroinflammation and neuronal degeneration, and the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway were measured. Results In CORM-3 treated mice that underwent CA/CPR, significantly improved survival (75.00% vs. 58.33%, P = 0.0146 (24 h) and 66.67% vs. 16.67%, P < 0.0001 (72 h)) and neurological function were observed at 24 h and 72 h after ROSC (P < 0.05 for each). Additionally, increased cerebral blood flow, expression of tight junctions, and reduced reactive oxygen species generation at 24 h after ROSC were observed (P < 0.05 for each). CORM-3 treated mice had less neuron death and alleviated neuroinflammation at 72 h after ROSC (P < 0.05 for each). Notably, the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway was significantly activated in mice subjected to CA/CPR with CORM-3 treatment. Conclusions CORM-3 could improve survival and exert neuroprotection after CA/CPR in mice. CORM-3 may be a novel and promising pharmacological therapy for PCABI.

Abstract
Sepsis, a life-threatening syndrome of organ damage resulting from dysregulated inflammatory response, is distinguished by overexpression of inflammatory cytokines, excessive generation of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), heightened activation of pyroptosis, and suppression of autophagy. However, current clinical symptomatic supportive treatment has failed to reduce the high mortality. Herein, we developed self-assembled multifunctional carbon monoxide nanogenerators (Nano CO), as sepsis drug candidates, which can release CO in response to ROS, resulting in clearing bacteria and activating the heme oxygenase-1/CO system. This activation strengthened endogenous protection and scavenged multiple inflammatory mediators to alleviate the cytokine storm, including scavenging RONS and cfDNA, inhibiting macrophage activation, blocking pyroptosis and activating autophagy. Animal experiments show that Nano CO has a good therapeutic effect on mice with LPS-induced sepsis, which is manifested in hypothermia recovery, organ damage repair, and a 50% decrease in mortality rates. Taken together, these results illustrated the efficacy of multifunctional Nano CO to target clearance of multiple mediators in sepsis treatment and act against other refractory inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent, yet ensuring safe and precise CO delivery remains challenging. Here, we report a removable hydrogel-forming microneedle (MN) reactor for CO delivery via photocatalysis, with an emphasis on chemosensitization. Upon application, body fluids absorbed by the MNs dissolve the effervescent agents, leading to the generation of carbon dioxide (CO2) and triggering the release of the chemotherapeutics cisplatin. Meanwhile, the photocatalysts (PCs) trapped within MNs convert CO2 to CO under 660 nm light irradiation. These PCs can be removed by hydrogel-forming MNs, thereby mitigating potential biological risks associated with residual PCs. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that MN-mediated CO delivery significantly improved tumor sensitivity to cisplatin by suppressing DNA repair, using an A375/CDDP melanoma model. This removable photocatalysis MN reactor offers safe and precise local delivery of CO, potentially creating new opportunities for CO or its combination therapies.

Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a progressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease characterised by fat accumulation, inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis, and impaired liver regeneration. In this study, we found that heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is induced in both MASH patients and in a MASH mouse model. Further, hepatic carbon monoxide (CO) levels in MASH model mice were >2-fold higher than in healthy mice, suggesting that liver HO-1 is activated as MASH progresses. Based on these findings, we used CO-loaded red blood cells (CO-RBCs) as a CO donor in the liver, and evaluated their therapeutic effect in methionine-choline deficient diet (MCDD)-induced and high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced MASH model mice. Intravenously administered CO-RBCs effectively delivered CO to the MASH liver, where they prevented fat accumulation by promoting fatty acid oxidation via AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor induction. They also markedly suppressed Kupffer cell activation and their corresponding anti-inflammatory and antioxidative stress activities in MASH mice. CO-RBCs also helped to restore liver regeneration in mice with HFD-induced MASH by activating AMPK. We confirmed the underlying mechanisms by performing in vitro experiments in RAW264.7 cells and palmitate-stimulated HepG2 cells. Taken together, CO-RBCs show potential as a promising cellular treatment for MASH.

Abstract
Light presents substantial potential in disease treatment, where the development of efficient photocatalysts could enhance the utilization of photocatalytic systems in biomedicine. Here, we devised a novel approach to designing and synthesizing photocatalysts of conjugated polymers for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, relying on a multiple linear regression model built with theoretically calculated descriptors. We established a logarithmic relationship between molecular structure and CO yield and identified the poly(fluorene-co-thiophene) deviant (PFT) as the optimal one. PFT excited a CO regeneration ratio of 231 nmol h-1 in acetonitrile and 46 nmol h-1 in an aqueous solution with a reaction selectivity of 88%. Further advancements were made through the development of liposomes encapsulating PFT for targeted macrophage delivery. By distributing PFT on the liposome membranes, our constructed photocatalytic system efficiently generated CO in situ from surrounding CO2. This localized CO production served as an endogenous signaling molecule, promoting the desirable polarization of macrophages from the M1 to M2 phenotype. Consequently, the M2 cells reduced the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β). We also demonstrated the efficacy of our system in treating lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation of cardiomyocytes under white light irradiation. Moreover, our research provides a comprehensive understanding of the intricate processes involved in CO2 reduction by a combination of theoretical calculations and experimental techniques including transient absorption, femtosecond ultrafast spectroscopy, and in situ infrared spectroscopy. These findings pave the way for further advancements of conjugated polymers and photocatalytic systems in biomedical investigation.

Abstract
Luminescence imaging is a powerful and versatile technique for investigating cell physiology and pathology in living systems, making significant contributions to life science research and clinical diagnosis. In recent years, luminescent transition metal complexes have gained significant attention for diagnostic and therapeutic applications due to their unique photophysical and photochemical properties. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the recent development of luminescent transition metal complexes for bioimaging and biosensing applications, with a focus on transition metal centers with a d6, d8, and d10 electronic configuration. We elucidate the structure-property relationships of luminescent transition metal complexes, exploring how their structural characteristics can be manipulated to control their biological behavior such as cellular uptake, localization, biocompatibility, pharmacokinetics, and biodistribution. Furthermore, we introduce the various design strategies that leverage the interesting photophysical properties of luminescent transition metal complexes for a wide variety of biological applications, including autofluorescence-free imaging, multimodal imaging, organelle imaging, biological sensing, microenvironment monitoring, bioorthogonal labeling, bacterial imaging, and cell viability assessment. Finally, we provide insights into the challenges and perspectives of luminescent transition metal complexes for bioimaging and biosensing applications, as well as their use in disease diagnosis and treatment evaluation.

Abstract
As one of the gaseous signals in living cells, carbon monoxide (CO) not only participates in many biological activities but also serves as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of diseases. However, the limited applicability of CO in gas therapy emerges from the inconvenience of direct administration of CO. Here we reported the construction of guanidinylated CO-releasing micelles, which are composed of poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC)-based CO donors. The in vitro studies demonstrated that micelles in the presence of light irradiation can induce cancer death, whereas no obvious toxicity to normal cells was observed. Moreover, the functionalization of guanidine groups imparts improved cellular uptake efficiency to micelles owing to the specific interactions with the surface of cells, which synergistically increase the anticancer capacity of the system. The guanidine-functionalized CO-releasing micelles provide a new strategy for the construction of CO-releasing nanocarriers, which are expected to find applications in gas therapeutics.

Abstract
The poor implant-osseointegration under diabetic condition remains a challenge to be addressed urgently. Studies have confirmed that the diabetic pathological microenvironment is accompanied by excessive oxidative stress, imbalanced immune homeostasis, and persistent chronic inflammation, which seriously impairs the osteogenic process. Herein, a multifunctional bioactive interface with both anti-oxidative stress and immunomodulatory properties is constructed on titanium implants. Briefly, manganese dioxide nanosheets are coated onto mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles loaded with carbon monoxide gas precursor, namely MnO2-CO@MPDA NPs, and then they are integrated on the titanium implant to obtain MCM-Ti. In the simulated diabetic microenvironment, under the action of MnO2 nanoenzymes, MCM-Ti can effectively eliminate intracellular reactive oxygen species while alleviating hypoxic state. Interestingly, the microenvironment mediates the responsive release of CO gas, which effectively drives macrophages toward M2 polarization, thereby ameliorating inflammatory response. The potential mechanism is that CO gas up-regulates the expression of heme oxygenase-1, further activating the Notch/Hes1/Stat3 signaling pathway. Furthermore, the conditioned medium derived from macrophages on MCM-Ti surface significantly enhances the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In a type 2 diabetic rat model, MCM-Ti implant effectively alleviates the accompanying inflammation and enhances the osseointegration through the synergistic effects of resisting oxidative stress and remodeling immune homeostasis.

Carbon monoxide-loaded cell therapy as an exercise mimetic for sarcopenia treatment. Free Radic Biol Med 2024; 220:67-77. [PMID: 38657755 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.04.231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
Sarcopenia is characterized by loss of muscle strength and muscle mass with aging. The growing number of sarcopenia patients as a result of the aging population has no viable treatment. Exercise maintains muscle strength and mass by increasing peroxisome growth factor activating receptor γ-conjugating factor-1α (PGC-1α) and Akt signaling in skeletal muscle. The present study focused on the carbon monoxide (CO), endogenous activator of PGC-1α and Akt, and investigated the therapeutic potential of CO-loaded red blood cells (CO-RBCs), which is bioinspired from in vivo CO delivery system, as an exercise mimetic for the treatment of sarcopenia. Treatment of C2C12 myoblasts with the CO-donor increased the protein levels of PGC-1α which enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and energy production. The CO-donor treatment also activated Akt, indicating that CO promotes muscle synthesis. CO levels were significantly elevated in the skeletal muscle of normal mice after intravenous administration of CO-RBCs. Furthermore, CO-RBCs restored the mRNA expression levels of PGC-1α in the skeletal muscle of two experimental sarcopenia mouse models, denervated (Den) and hindlimb unloading (HU) models. CO-RBCs also restored muscle mass in Den mice by activating Akt signaling and suppressing the muscle atrophy factors myostatin and atrogin-1, and oxidative stress. Treadmill tests further showed that the reduced running distance in HU mice was significantly restored by CO-RBC administration. These findings suggest that CO-RBCs have potential as an exercise mimetic for sarcopenia treatment.

Abstract
Cancer vaccines based on single-source (exogenous or endogenous) tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) are often challenged by the insufficient T cell response and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a dual TAAs-boosted nanovaccine based on cancer cell (4T1) membrane-cloaked, CO-immobilized Prussian blue nanoparticles (4T1-PB-CO NPs) is developed and coupled with anti-interleukin (IL)-10 therapy to maximize the efficacy of antitumor immunotherapy. 4T1 cell membrane not only endows NPs with tumor targeting ability, but also serves as exogenous TAAs to trigger CD4+ T cell response and M1-phenotype polarization of tumor-associated macrophages. Under near-infrared light irradiation, 4T1-PB-CO NPs release CO to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells, thus generating endogenous TAAs to activate CD8+ T cell response. Meanwhile, ICD triggers release of damage-associated molecular patterns, which can promote DC maturation to amplify the antitumor T cell response. When combined with anti-IL-10 that reverses the immunosuppressive TME, 4T1-PB-CO NPs efficiently suppress the primary tumors and produce an abscopal effect to inhibit distant tumors in a breast tumor-bearing mouse model. Such a two-pronged cancer vaccine represents a promising paradigm for robust antitumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Although the independent effects of ambient CO, temperature or humidity on stroke have been confirmed, it is still unclear where there is an interaction between these factors and who is sensitive populations for these. The stroke hospitalization and ambient CO, temperature, humidity data were collected in 22 Counties and districts of Ningxia, China in 2014-2019. The lagged effect of ambient CO, temperature or humidity were analyze by the generalized additive model; the interaction were evaluated by the bivariate response surface model and stratified analysis with relative excessive risk (RERI). High temperature and CO levels had synergistic effects on hemorrhagic stroke (RERI = 0.05, 95% CI 0.033-0.086) and ischemic stroke (RERI = 0.035, 95% CI 0.006-0.08). Low relative humidity and CO were synergistic in hemorrhagic stroke (RERI = 0.192, 95% CI 0.184-0.205) and only in ischemic stroke in the elderly group (RERI = 0.056, 95% CI 0.025-0.085). High relative humidity and CO exhibited antagonistic effects on the risk of ischemic stroke hospitalization in both male and female groups (RERI = - 0.088, 95% CI - 0.151to - 0.031; RERI = - 0.144, 95% CI - 0.216 to - 0.197). Exposure to CO increases the risk of hospitalization related to hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes. CO and temperature or humidity interact with risk of stroke hospitalization with sex and age differences.

Abstract
As an endogenous signaling molecule, carbon monoxide (CO) has emerged as an increasingly promising option regarding as gas therapy due to its positive pharmacological effects in various diseases. Owing to the gaseous nature and potential toxicity, it is particularly important to modulate the CO release dosages and targeted locations to elucidate the biological mechanisms of CO and facilitate its clinical applications. Based on these, diverse CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) have been developed for controlled release of CO in biological systems. However, practical applications of these CORMs are limited by several disadvantages including low stability, poor solubility, weak releasing controllability, random diffusion, and potential toxicity. In light of rapid developments and diverse advantages of nanomedicine, abundant nanomaterials releasing CO in controlled ways have been developed for therapeutic purposes across various diseases. Due to their nanoscale sizes, diversified compositions and modified surfaces, vast CO-releasing nanomaterials (CORNMs) have been constructed and exhibited controlled CO release in specific locations under various stimuli with better pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. In this review, we present the recent progress in CORNMs according to their compositions. Following a concise introduction to CO therapy, CORMs and CORNMs, the representative research progress of CORNMs constructed from organic nanostructures, hybrid nanomaterials, inorganic nanomaterials, and nanocomposites is elaborated. The basic properties of these CORNMs, such as active components, CO releasing mechanisms, detection methods, and therapeutic applications, are discussed in detail and listed in a table. Finally, we explore and discuss the prospects and challenges associated with utilizing nanomaterials for biological CO release.

Abstract
Photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction is an effective method for in vivo carbon monoxide (CO) generation for antibacterial use. However, the available strategies mainly focus on utilizing visible-light-responsive photocatalysts to achieve CO generation. The limited penetration capability of visible light hinders CO generation in deep-seated tissues. Herein, a photothermal CO2 catalyst (abbreviated as NNBCs) to achieve an efficient hyperthermic effect and in situ CO generation is rationally developed, to simultaneously suppress bacterial proliferation and relieve inflammatory responses. The NNBCs are modified with a special polyethylene glycol and further embellished by bicarbonate (BC) decoration via ferric ion-mediated coordination. Upon exposure to 1064 nm laser irradiation, the NNBCs facilitated efficient photothermal conversion and in situ CO generation through photothermal CO2 catalysis. Specifically, the photothermal effect accelerated the decomposition of BC to produce CO2 for photothermal catalytic CO production. Benefiting from the hyperthermic effect and in situ CO production, in vivo assessments using an osteomyelitis model confirmed that NNBCs can simultaneously inhibit bacterial proliferation and attenuate the photothermal effect-associated pro-inflammatory response. This study represents the first attempt to develop high-performance photothermal CO2 nanocatalysts to achieve in situ CO generation for the concurrent inhibition of bacterial growth and attenuation of inflammatory responses.

Abstract
The clinical translation of the nanoparticle (NP)-based anticancer therapies is still unsatisfactory due to the heterogeneity of the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Despite the promising preclinical outcome of the pharmacological EPR enhancers, their systemic toxicity can limit their clinical application. Hyperthermia (HT) presents an efficient tool to augment the EPR by improving tumor blood flow (TBF) and vascular permeability, lowering interstitial fluid pressure (IFP), and disrupting the structure of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Furthermore, the HT-triggered intravascular release approach can overcome the EPR effect. In contrast to pharmacological approaches, HT is safe and can be focused to cancer tissues. Moreover, HT conveys direct anti-cancer effects, which improve the efficacy of the anti-cancer agents encapsulated in NPs. However, the clinical application of HT is challenging due to the heterogeneous distribution of temperature within the tumor, the length of the treatment and the complexity of monitoring.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the signaling molecules that are ubiquitous in humans, which involves in the regulation of human physiology and pathology. In this work, the probe PEC was designed and synthesized based on BODIPY fluorophore that can selectively detect CO through reducing the nitro group to amino group, resulting in a "turn-on" fluorescence response with a simultaneous increase in the concentration of CO. The response is selective over a variety of relevant reactive free radicals, ions, and amino acid species. PEC has the advantages of good stability, good water solubility, and obvious changes in fluorescence signals. In addition, PEC can be used to detect and track endogenous CO in living cells.

Abstract
Gaseous signaling molecules (GSMs) including nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have presented excellent therapeutic efficacy such as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-cancer effects and multiple biomedical applications in recent years. As the three most vital signaling molecules in human physiology, these three GSMs show so intertwined and orchestrated interactions that the synergy of multiple gases may demonstrate a more complex therapeutic potential than single gas delivery. Consequently, researchers have been devoted to developing codelivery systems of GSMs by synthesizing a single molecule as a dual donor to maximize the gaseous therapeutic efficacy. In this minireview, we summarize the recent developments of molecules or materials enabling codelivery of GSMs for biomedical applications. It appears that compared with the abundant cases of codelivery of NO and H2S, research on codelivery of CO and the other two GSMs separately remains to be explored.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is endogenously produced in mammals, with blood concentrations in the high micromolar range in the hemoglobin-bound form. Further, CO has shown therapeutic effects in various animal models. Despite its reputation as a poisonous gas at high concentrations, we show that CO should have a wide enough safety margin for therapeutic applications. The analysis considers a large number of factors including levels of endogenous CO, its safety margin in comparison to commonly encountered biomolecules or drugs, anticipated enhanced safety profiles when delivered via a noninhalation mode, and the large amount of safety data from human clinical trials. It should be emphasized that having a wide enough safety margin for therapeutic use does not mean that it is benign or safe to the general public, even at low doses. We defer the latter to public health experts. Importantly, this Perspective is written for drug discovery professionals and not the general public.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the main sites of aerobic respiration in the cell and mainly provide energy for the organism, and play key roles in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, metabolic regulation, and cell differentiation and death. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a contributing factor to a variety of diseases. The kidney is rich in mitochondria to meet energy needs, and stable mitochondrial structure and function are essential for normal kidney function. Recently, many studies have shown a link between mitochondrial dysfunction and kidney disease, maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis has become an important target for kidney therapy. In this review, we integrate the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in different kidney diseases, and specifically elaborate the mechanism of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), autophagy and ferroptosis involved in the occurrence and development of kidney diseases, providing insights for improved treatment of kidney diseases.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:386. [PMID: 38896257 PMCID: PMC11186951 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-024-13120-7] [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: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Bacterial biofilms commonly cause chronic and persistent infections in humans. Bacterial biofilms consist of an inner layer of bacteria and an autocrine extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). Biofilm dispersants (abbreviated as dispersants) have proven effective in removing the bacterial physical protection barrier EPS. Dispersants are generally weak or have no bactericidal effect. Bacteria dispersed from within biofilms (abbreviated as dispersed bacteria) may be more invasive, adhesive, and motile than planktonic bacteria, characteristics that increase the probability that dispersed bacteria will recolonize and cause reinfection. The dispersants should be combined with antimicrobials to avoid the risk of severe reinfection. Dispersant-based nanoparticles have the advantage of specific release and intense penetration, providing the prerequisite for further antibacterial agent efficacy and achieving the eradication of biofilms. Dispersant-based nanoparticles delivered antimicrobial agents for the treatment of diseases associated with bacterial biofilm infections are expected to be an effective measure to prevent reinfection caused by dispersed bacteria. KEY POINTS: • Dispersed bacteria harm and the dispersant's dispersion mechanisms are discussed. • The advantages of dispersant-based nanoparticles in bacteria biofilms are discussed. • Dispersant-based nanoparticles for cutting off reinfection in vivo are highlighted.

Abstract
Small molecule donors (SMDs) play subtle roles in the signaling mechanism and disease treatments. While many excellent SMDs have been developed, dosage control, targeted delivery, spatiotemporal feedback, as well as the efficiency evaluation of small molecules are still key challenges. Accordingly, fluorescent small molecule donors (FSMDs) have emerged to meet these challenges. FSMDs enable controllable release and non-invasive real-time monitoring, providing significant advantages for drug development and clinical diagnosis. Integration of FSMDs with chemotherapeutic, photodynamic or photothermal properties can take full advantage of each mode to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Given the remarkable properties and the thriving development of FSMDs, we believe a review is needed to summarize the design, triggering strategies and tracking mechanisms of FSMDs. With this review, we compiled FSMDs for most small molecules (nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, reactive oxygen species and formaldehyde), and discuss recent progress concerning their molecular design, structural classification, mechanisms of generation, triggered release, structure-activity relationships, and the fluorescence response mechanism. Firstly, from the large number of fluorescent small molecular donors available, we have organized the common structures for producing different types of small molecules, providing a general strategy for the development of FSMDs. Secondly, we have classified FSMDs in terms of the respective donor types and fluorophore structures. Thirdly, we discuss the mechanisms and factors associated with the controlled release of small molecules and the regulation of the fluorescence responses, from which universal guidelines for optical properties and structure rearrangement were established, mainly involving light-controlled, enzyme-activated, reactive oxygen species-triggered, biothiol-triggered, single-electron reduction, click chemistry, and other triggering mechanisms. Fourthly, representative applications of FSMDs for trackable release, and evaluation monitoring, as well as for visible in vivo treatment are outlined, to illustrate the potential of FSMDs in drug screening and precision medicine. Finally, we discuss the opportunities and remaining challenges for the development of FSMDs for practical and clinical applications, which we anticipate will stimulate the attention of researchers in the diverse fields of chemistry, pharmacology, chemical biology and clinical chemistry. With this review, we hope to impart new understanding thereby enabling the rapid development of the next generation of FSMDs.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Acute hyperhemolysis is a severe life-threatening complication in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) that may occur during delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction (DHTR), or vaso-occlusive crises associated with multiorgan failure. Here, we developed in vitro and in vivo animal models to mimic endothelial damage during the early phase of hyperhemolysis in SCD. We then used the carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecule CORM-401 and examined its effects against endothelial activation, damage, and inflammation inflicted by hemolysates containing red blood cell membrane-derived particles. The in vitro results revealed that CORM-401: (1) prevented the upregulation of relevant proinflammatory and proadhesion markers controlled by the NF-κB enhancer of activated B cells, and (2) abolished the expression of the nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) that regulates the inducible antioxidant cell machinery. We also show in SCD mice that CORM-401 protects against hemolysate-induced acute damage of target organs such as the lung, liver, and kidney through modulation of NF-κB proinflammatory and Nrf2 antioxidant pathways. Our data demonstrate the efficacy of CORM-401 as a novel therapeutic agent to counteract hemolysate-induced organ damage during hyperhemolysis in SCD. This approach might be considered as possible preventive treatment in high-risk situations such as patients with SCD with history of DHTR.

Abstract
A serious concern of doxorubicin (DOX) therapy is that it causes severe adverse effects, particularly cardiotoxicity. Carbon monoxide (CO) possesses powerful cytoprotective effects against drug-induced organ injury and is expected to ameliorate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. In this study, a dual carrier of DOX and CO (CO-HemoAct-DOX) was fabricated based on a haemoglobin-albumin cluster (HemoAct), which is a protein cluster with a haemoglobin core structure wrapped by serum albumin. CO-HemoAct-DOX was synthesised by binding CO to a haemoglobin core and covalently conjugating (6-maleimidocaproyl)hydrazone derivative of DOX to an albumin shell. The average DOX/cluster ratio was about 2.6. In the in vitro cytotoxicity assay against cancer cells, the anti-tumour activity of CO-HemoAct-DOX was 10-fold lower than that of DOX in a 2D-cultured model, whereas CO-HemoAct-DOX suppressed the growth of tumour spheroids to the same extent as DOX in the 3D-cultured model. In colon-26 tumour-bearing mice, CO-HemoAct-DOX achieved DOX delivery to the tumour site and alleviated tumour growth more effectively than DOX. Furthermore, CO-HemoAct attenuated DOX-induced cardiomyocyte atrophy in H9c2 cells and elevated the levels of cardiac biomarkers in mice exposed to DOX. These results suggest that the dual delivery of CO and DOX using HemoAct is a promising strategy as an anti-tumour agent to realise well-tolerated cancer therapy with minimal cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
It still remains challenging to design multifunctional therapeutic reagents for effective cancer therapy under a unique tumor microenvironment including insufficient endogenous H2O2 and O2, low pH, and a high concentration of glutathione (GSH). In this work, a CO-based phototherapeutic system triggered by photogenerated holes, which consisted of ionic liquid (IL), the CO prodrug Mn2(CO)10, and iridium(III) porphyrin (IrPor) modified carbonized ZIF-8-doped graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposite (IL/ZCN@Ir(CO)), was designed for cascade hypoxic tumors. Upon light irradiation, the photogenerated holes on IL/ZCN@Ir(CO) oxidize water into H2O2, which subsequently induces Mn2(CO)10 to release CO. Meanwhile, IrPor can convert H2O2 to hydroxyl radical (•OH) and subsequent singlet oxygen (1O2), which further triggers CO release. Moreover, the degraded MnO2 shows activity for glutathione (GSH) depletion and mimics peroxidase, leading to GSH reduction and •OH production in tumors. Thus, this strategy can in situ release high concentrations of CO and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and deplete GSH to efficiently induce cell apoptosis under hypoxic conditions, which has a high inhibiting effect on the growth of tumors, offering an attractive strategy to amplify CO and ROS generation to meet therapeutic requirements in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide, the "silent killer" gas, is increasingly recognised as an important signalling molecule in human physiology, which has beneficial biological properties. A particular way of achieving controlled CO administration is based on the use of biocompatible molecules that only release CO when triggered by internal or external factors. These approaches include the development of pharmacologically effective prodrugs known as CO releasing molecules (CORMs), which can supply biological systems with CO in well-regulated doses. An overview of transition metal-based CORMs with cytotoxic properties is here reported. The mechanisms at the basis of the biological activities of these molecules and their potential therapeutical applications with respect to their stability and CO releasing properties have been discussed. The activation of metal-based CORMs is determined by the type of metal and by the nature and features of the auxiliary ligands, which affect the metal core electronic density and therefore the prodrug resistance towards oxidation and CO release ability. A major role in regulating the cytotoxic properties of these CORMs is played by CO and/or CO-depleted species. However, several mysteries concerning the cytotoxicity of CORMs remain as intriguing questions for scientists.

Abstract
Disruption of any stage of iron homeostasis, including uptake, utilization, efflux, and storage, can cause progressive damage to peripheral organs. The health hazards associated with occupational exposure to inhalation anesthetics (IA) in combination with chronic iron overload are not well documented. This study aimed to investigate changes in the concentration of essential metals in the peripheral organs of rats after iron overload in combination with IA. The aim was also to determine how iron overload in combination with IA affects tissue metal homeostasis, hepcidin-ferritin levels, and MMP levels according to physiological, functional, and tissue features. According to the obtained results, iron accumulation was most pronounced in the liver (19×), spleen (6.7×), lungs (3.1×), and kidneys (2.5×) compared to control. Iron accumulation is associated with elevated heavy metal levels and impaired essential metal concentrations due to oxidative stress (OS). Notably, the use of IA increases the iron overload toxicity, especially after Isoflurane exposure. The results show that the regulation of iron homeostasis is based on the interaction of hepcidin, ferritin, and other proteins regulated by inflammation, OS, free iron levels, erythropoiesis, and hypoxia. Long-term exposure to IA and iron leads to the development of numerous adaptation mechanisms in response to toxicity, OS, and inflammation. These adaptive mechanisms of iron regulation lead to the inhibition of MMP activity and reduction of oxidative stress, protecting the organism from possible damage.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) delivery molecules are of significant current interest as potential therapeutics, including for anticancer applications. A recent approach toward generating new types of materials-based anticancer agents involves combining the Fenton reactivity of a redox active metal ion with CO delivery. However, small molecule examples of these types of entities have not been systematically studied to evaluate the combined effect on cellular toxicity. Herein we describe a Cu(II) flavonolato complex which produces anticancer effects through a combination of copper-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and light-induced flavonol CO release. Confocal microscopy studies provide evidence of enhanced flavonol uptake in the copper flavonolato system relative to the free flavonol, which leads to an increased amount of CO delivery within cells. Importantly, this work demonstrates that a metal flavonolato species can be used to produce enhanced toxicity effects resulting from both metal ion-induced Fenton reactivity and increased cellular uptake of a flavonol CO donor.

Abstract
Glycolysis-dominant metabolic pathway in cancer cells can promote their therapeutic resistance against radiotherapy (RT). Carbon monoxide (CO) as a glycolysis inhibitor can enhance the efficiency of RT. Herein, an X-ray responsive CO-releasing nanocomposite (HA@AuNC@CO) based on strong host-guest interactions between the radiosensitizer and CO donor for enhanced RT is developed. The encapsulated gold nanoclusters (CD-AuNCs) can effectively generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) under X-ray radiation, which not only directly inactivate cancer cells but also induce in situ CO gas generation from adamantane modified metal carbonyl (Ada-CO) for glycolysis inhibition. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that HA@AuNC@CO exhibits active targeting toward CD44 overexpressed cancer cells, along with excellent inhibition of glycolysis and efficient RT against cancer. This study offers a new strategy for the combination of gas therapy and RT in tumor treatment.

Abstract
The treatment of diabetic periodontitis poses a significant challenge due to the presence of local inflammation characterized by excessive glucose concentration, bacterial infection, and high oxidative stress. Herein, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) are embellished with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and loaded with manganese carbonyl to prepare a carbon monoxide (CO) enhanced multienzyme cooperative hybrid nanoplatform (MSN-Au@CO). The Glucose-like oxidase activity of Au NPs catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and gluconic acid,and then converts H2O2 to hydroxyl radicals (•OH) by peroxidase-like activity to destroy bacteria. Moreover, CO production in response to H2O2, together with Au NPs exhibited a synergistic anti-inflammatory effect in macrophages challenged by lipopolysaccharides. The underlying mechanism can be the induction of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 to reduce reactive oxygen species, and inhibition of nuclear factor kappa-B signaling to diminish inflammatory response. Importantly, the antibacterial and anti-inflammation effects of MSN-Au@CO are validated in diabetic rats with ligature-induced periodontitis by showing decreased periodontal bone loss with good biocompatibility. To summarize, MSN-Au@CO is fabricate to utilize glucose-activated cascade reaction to eliminate bacteria, and synergize with gas therapy to regulate the immune microenvironment, offering a potential direction for the treatment of diabetic periodontitis.

Abstract
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a condition characterized by complete or incomplete motor and sensory impairment, as well as dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, caused by factors such as trauma, tumors, or inflammation. Current treatment methods primarily include traditional approaches like spinal canal decompression and internal fixation surgery, steroid pulse therapy, as well as newer techniques such as stem cell transplantation and brain-spinal cord interfaces. However, the above methods have limited efficacy in promoting axonal and neuronal regeneration. The challenge in medical research today lies in promoting spinal cord neuron regeneration and regulating the disrupted microenvironment of the spinal cord. Studies have shown that gas molecular therapy is increasingly used in medical research, with gasotransmitters such as hydrogen sulfide, nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen, and hydrogen exhibiting neuroprotective effects in central nervous system diseases. The gas molecular protect against neuronal death and reshape the microenvironment of spinal cord injuries by regulating oxidative, inflammatory and apoptotic processes. At present, gas therapy mainly relies on inhalation for systemic administration, which cannot effectively enrich and release gas in the spinal cord injury area, making it difficult to achieve the expected effects. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the use of nanocarriers to achieve targeted enrichment and precise control release of gas at Sites of injury has become one of the emerging research directions in SCI. It has shown promising therapeutic effects in preclinical studies and is expected to bring new hope and opportunities for the treatment of SCI. In this review, we will briefly outline the therapeutic effects and research progress of gasotransmitters and nanogas in the treatment of SCI.

Abstract
Diabetic wound healing is uniquely challenging to manage due to chronic inflammation and heightened microbial growth from elevated interstitial glucose. Carbon monoxide (CO), widely acknowledged as a toxic gas, is also known to provide unique therapeutic immune modulating effects. To facilitate delivery of CO, we have designed hyaluronic acid-based CO-gas-entrapping materials (CO-GEMs) for topical and prolonged gas delivery to the wound bed. We demonstrate that CO-GEMs promote the healing response in murine diabetic wound models (full-thickness wounds and pressure ulcers) compared to N2-GEMs and untreated controls.

Abstract
Detection of endogenous CO (carbon monoxide) is an interesting topic in biology because it has been discovered as a messenger for signal transduction and therapeutic effects in vital biological activities. Fluorescence imaging has proven a powerful tool for detecting endogenous CO, which drives the development of low-cost and easy-to-use fluorescent probes. In this study, four azobenzene derivatives (A1, A2, A3, and A4) with various substituents were reported, including their geometric structures, photophysical parameters, and spectral responses to Cu2+ and CO. The relationship between substituent structure and performance was discussed along with Cu2+ quenching and CO sensing mechanisms. The optimal probe (A1), which had no substituent, efficiently quenched fluorescence in the presence of Cu2+, with its PLQY decreased from 0.33 to 0.02, PLQY = photoluminescence quantum yield. Upon CO deoxidization, A1's fluorescence could be recovered (PLQY recovered to 0.32) within 180 s. Its sensing mechanism was static by forming a non-fluorescent complex with Cu2+ (with a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1). The bioimaging performance of A1 for endogenous CO in HeLa cells was reported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin and other anthracyclines are crucial cancer treatment drugs. However, they are associated with significant cardiotoxicity, severely affecting patient care and limiting dosage and usage. Previous studies have shown that low carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations protect against doxorubicin toxicity. However, traditional methods of CO delivery pose complex challenges for daily administration, such as dosing and toxicity. To address these challenges, we developed a novel oral liquid drug product containing CO (HBI-002) that can be easily self-administered by patients with cancer undergoing doxorubicin treatment, resulting in CO being delivered through the upper gastrointestinal tract. METHODS AND RESULTS HBI-002 was tested in a murine model of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity in the presence and absence of lung or breast cancer. The mice received HBI-002 twice daily before doxorubicin administration and experienced increased carboxyhemoglobin levels from a baseline of ≈1% to 7%. Heart tissue from mice treated with HBI-002 had a 6.3-fold increase in CO concentrations and higher expression of the cytoprotective enzyme heme oxygenase-1 compared with placebo control. In both acute and chronic doxorubicin toxicity scenarios, HBI-002 protected the heart from cardiotoxic effects, including limiting tissue damage and cardiac dysfunction and improving survival. In addition, HBI-002 did not compromise the efficacy of doxorubicin in reducing tumor volume, but rather enhanced the sensitivity of breast 4T1 cancer cells to doxorubicin while simultaneously protecting cardiac function. CONCLUSIONS These findings strongly support using HBI-002 as a cardioprotective agent that maintains the therapeutic benefits of doxorubicin cancer treatment while mitigating cardiac damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The heme oxygenase (HO) system plays a significant role in neuroprotection and reduction of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. The system, via isoforms HO-1 and HO-2, regulates cellular redox balance. HO-1, an antioxidant defense enzyme, is highlighted due to its association with depression, characterized by heightened neuroinflammation and impaired oxidative stress responses. METHODOLOGY We observed the pathophysiology of HO-1 and phytochemicals as its modulator. We explored Science Direct, Scopus, and PubMed for a comprehensive literature review. Bibliometric and temporal trend analysis were done using VOSviewer. RESULTS Several phytochemicals can potentially alleviate neuroinflammation and oxidative stress-induced depressive symptoms. These effects result from inhibiting the MAPK and NK-κB pathways - both implicated in the overproduction of pro-inflammatory factors - and from the upregulation of HO-1 expression mediated by Nrf2. Bibliometric and temporal trend analysis further validates these associations. CONCLUSION In summary, our findings suggest that antidepressant agents can mitigate neuroinflammation and depressive disorder pathogenesis via the upregulation of HO-1 expression. These agents suppress pro-inflammatory mediators and depressive-like symptoms, demonstrating that HO-1 plays a significant role in the neuroinflammatory process and the development of depression.

Dong X, Zhang Z, Wang R, Sun J, Dong C, Sun L, Jia C, Gu X, Zhao C. RSS and ROS Sequentially Activated Carbon Monoxide Release for Boosting NIR Imaging-Guided On-Demand Photodynamic Therapy. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2309529. [PMID: 38100303 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202309529] [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: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
Carbon monoxide shows great therapeutic potential in anti-cancer. In particular, the construction of multifunctional CO delivery systems can promote the precise delivery of CO and achieve ideal therapeutic effects, but there are still great challenges in design. In this work, a RSS and ROS sequentially activated CO delivery system is developed for boosting NIR imaging-guided on-demand photodynamic therapy. This designed system is composed of a CO releaser (BOD-CO) and a photosensitizer (BOD-I). BOD-CO can be specifically activated by hydrogen sulfide with simultaneous release of CO donor and NIR fluorescence that can identify H2S-rich tumors and guide light therapy, also depleting H2S in the process. Moreover, BOD-I generates 1O2 under long-wavelength light irradiation, enabling both PDT and precise local release of CO via a photooxidation mechanism. Such sequential activation of CO release by RSS and ROS ensured the safety and controllability of CO delivery, and effectively avoided leakage during delivery. Importantly, cytotoxicity and in vivo studies reveal that the release of CO combined with the depletion of endogenous H2S amplified PDT, achieving ideal anticancer results. It is believed that such theranostic nanoplatform can provide a novel strategy for the precise CO delivery and combined therapy involved in gas therapy and PDT.

Abstract
While particle therapy has been used for decades for cancer treatment, there is still a lack of information on the molecular mechanisms of biomolecules radiolysis by accelerated ions. Here, we examine the effects of accelerated protons on highly concentrated native myoglobin, by means of Fourier transform infrared and UV-Visible spectroscopies. Upon irradiation, the secondary structure of the protein is drastically modified, from mostly alpha helices conformation to mostly beta elements at highest fluence. These changes are accompanied by significant production of carbon monoxide, which was shown to come from heme degradation under irradiation. The radiolytic yields of formation of denatured protein, carbon monoxide, and of heme degradation were determined, and found very close to each other: G+denatured Mb ≈ G+CO ≈ G-heme = 1.6 × 10-8 ± 0.1 × 10-8 mol/J = 0.16 ± 0.01 species/100 eV. The denaturation of the protein to a beta structure and the production of carbon monoxide under ion irradiation are phenomena that may play an important role in the biological effects of ionizing radiation.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenous produced molecule and has shown efficacy in animal models of inflammation, organ injury, colitis and cancer metastasis. Because of its gaseous nature, there is a need for developing efficient CO delivery approaches, especially those capable of targeted delivery. In this study, we aim to take advantage of a previously reported approach of enrichment-triggered prodrug activation to achieve targeted delivery by targeting the folate receptor. The general idea is to exploit folate receptor-mediated enrichment as a way to accelerate a biomolecular Diels-Alder reaction for prodrug activation. In doing so, we first need to find ways to tune the reaction kinetics in order to ensure minimal rection without enrichment and optimal activation upon enrichment. In this feasibility study, we synthesized two diene-dienophile pairs and studied their reaction kinetics and ability to target the folate receptor. We found that folate conjugation significantly affects the reaction kinetics of the original diene-dienophile pairs. Such information will be very useful in future designs of similar targeted approaches of CO delivery.

Abstract
A novel double spot-ring plane-concave multipass cell (DSPC-MPC) gas sensor was proposed for simultaneous detection of trace gases, which has lower cost and higher mirror utilization than the traditional multipass cell with 129 m, 107 m, 85 m, 63 m and 40 m effective optical path lengths adjustable. The performance of the DSPC-MPC gas sensor was evaluated by measuring CO and CH4 using two narrow linewidth distributed feedback lasers with center wavelengths of 1567 nm and 1653 nm, respectively. An adjustable digital PID laser frequency stabilization system based on LabVIEW platform was developed to continuously stabilize the laser frequency within ∼±30.3 MHz. The Allan deviation results showed that the minimum detection limits for CO and CH4 were 0.07 ppmv and 0.008 ppmv at integration times of 711 s and 245 s, respectively. The proposed concept of DSPC-MPC provides more ideas for the realization of gas detection under different absorption path lengths and the development of multi-component gas sensing systems.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is notorious for its toxic effects but is also recognized as a gasotransmitter with considerable therapeutic potential. Due to the inherent challenges in its delivery, the utilization of organic CO photoreleasing molecules (photoCORMs) represents an interesting alternative to CO administration characterized by high spatial and temporal precision of release. This paper focused on the design, synthesis, and photophysical and photochemical studies of 20 3-hydroxyflavone (flavonol) and 3-hydroxyflavothione derivatives as photoCORMs. Newly synthesized compounds bearing various electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups show bathochromically shifted absorption maxima and considerably enhanced CO release yields compared to the parent unsubstituted flavonol, exceeding 0.8 equiv of released CO in derivatives exhibiting excited states with a charge-transfer character. Until now, such outcomes have been limited to flavonol derivatives possessing a π-extended aromatic system. In addition, thione analogs of flavonols, 3-hydroxyflavothiones, show substantial bathochromic shifts of their absorption maxima and enhanced photosensitivity but provide lower yields of CO formation. Our study elucidates in detail the mechanism of CO photorelease from flavonols and flavothiones, utilizing steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies and photoproduct analyses, with a particular emphasis on unraveling the structure-photoreactivity relationship and understanding competing side processes.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide is a gasotransmitter that may be beneficial for vascular tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies because it can promote endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and migration by binding to heme-containing compounds within cells. For example, CO may be beneficial for vascular cognitive impairment and dementia because many patients' disrupted blood-brain barriers do not heal naturally. However, control of the CO dose is critical, and new controlled delivery methods need to be developed. This study developed ultrasound-sensitive microbubbles with a carefully controlled precipitation technique, loaded them with CO, and assessed their ability to promote EC proliferation and function. Microbubbles fabricated with perfluoropentane exhibited good stability at room temperature, but they could still be ruptured and release CO in culture with application of ultrasound. Microbubbles synthesized from the higher boiling point compound, perfluorohexane, were too stable at physiological temperature. The lower-boiling point perfluoropentane microbubbles had good biocompatibility and appeared to improve VE-cadherin expression when CO was loaded in the bubbles. Finally, tissue phantoms were used to show that an imaging ultrasound probe can efficiently rupture the microbubbles and that the CO-loaded microbubbles can improve EC spreading and proliferation compared to control conditions without microbubbles as well as microbubbles without application of ultrasound. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential for use of these ultrasound-sensitive microbubbles for improving blood vessel endothelialization.

Abstract
Small-diameter tissue-engineered vascular grafts (sdTEVGs) have garnered significant attention as a potential treatment modality for vascular bypass grafting and replacement therapy. However, the intimal hyperplasia and thrombosis are two major complications that impair graft patency during transplantation. To address this issue, we fabricated the covalent-organic framework (COF)-based carbon monoxide (CO) nanogenerator-and co-immobilized with LXW-7 peptide and heparin to establish a multifunctional surface on TEVGs constructed from acellular blood vessels for preventing thrombosis and stenosis. The cell-adhesive peptide LXW-7 could capture endothelial-forming cells (EFCs) to promote endothelialization, while the antithrombotic molecule heparin prevented thrombus formation. The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-triggered CO release suppressed the adhesion and activation of macrophages, leading to the reduction of ROS and inflammatory factors. As a result, the endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) triggered by inflammation was restricted, facilitating the maintenance of the homeostasis of the neo-endothelium and preventing pathological remodeling in TEVGs. When transplanted in vivo, these vascular grafts exhibited negligible intimal hyperplasia and remained patent for 3 months. This achievement provided a novel approach for constructing antithrombotic and anti-hyperplastic TEVGs.

Abstract
Cancer cells typically display redox imbalance compared with normal cells due to increased metabolic rate, accumulated mitochondrial dysfunction, elevated cell signaling, and accelerated peroxisomal activities. This redox imbalance may regulate gene expression, alter protein stability, and modulate existing cellular programs, resulting in inefficient treatment modalities. Therapeutic strategies targeting intra- or extracellular redox states of cancer cells at varying state of progression may trigger programmed cell death if exceeded a certain threshold, enabling therapeutic selectivity and overcoming cancer resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Nanotechnology provides new opportunities for modulating redox state in cancer cells due to their excellent designability and high reactivity. Various nanomaterials are widely researched to enhance highly reactive substances (free radicals) production, disrupt the endogenous antioxidant defense systems, or both. Here, the physiological features of redox imbalance in cancer cells are described and the challenges in modulating redox state in cancer cells are illustrated. Then, nanomaterials that regulate redox imbalance are classified and elaborated upon based on their ability to target redox regulations. Finally, the future perspectives in this field are proposed. It is hoped this review provides guidance for the design of nanomaterials-based approaches involving modulating intra- or extracellular redox states for cancer therapy, especially for cancers resistant to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, etc.

Abstract
With the recognition of the endogenous signaling roles and pharmacological functions of carbon monoxide (CO), there is an increasing need to understand CO's mechanism of actions. Along this line, chemical donors have been introduced as CO surrogates for ease of delivery, dosage control, and sometimes the ability to target. Among all of the donors, two ruthenium-carbonyl complexes, CORM-2 and -3, are arguably the most commonly used tools for about 20 years in studying the mechanism of actions of CO. Largely based on data using these two CORMs, there has been a widely accepted inference that the upregulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression is one of the key mechanisms for CO's actions. However, recent years have seen reports of very pronounced chemical reactivities and CO-independent activities of these CORMs. We are interested in examining this question by conducting comparative studies using CO gas, CORM-2/-3, and organic CO donors in RAW264.7, HeLa, and HepG2 cell cultures. CORM-2 and CORM-3 treatment showed significant dose-dependent induction of HO-1 compared to "controls," while incubation for 6 h with 250-500 ppm CO gas did not increase the HO-1 protein expression and mRNA transcription level. A further increase of the CO concentration to 5% did not lead to HO-1 expression either. Additionally, we demonstrate that CORM-2/-3 releases minimal amounts of CO under the experimental conditions. These results indicate that the HO-1 induction effects of CORM-2/-3 are not attributable to CO. We also assessed two organic CO prodrugs, BW-CO-103 and BW-CO-111. BW-CO-111 but not BW-CO-103 dose-dependently increased HO-1 levels in RAW264.7 and HeLa cells. We subsequently studied the mechanism of induction with an Nrf2-luciferase reporter assay, showing that the HO-1 induction activity is likely due to the activation of Nrf2 by the CO donors. Overall, CO alone is unable to induce HO-1 or activate Nrf2 under various conditions in vitro. As such, there is no evidence to support attributing the HO-1 induction effect of the CO donors such as CORM-2/-3 and BW-CO-111 in cell culture to CO. This comparative study demonstrates the critical need to consider possible CO-independent effects of a chemical CO donor before attributing the observed biological effects to CO. It is also important to note that such in vitro results cannot be directly extrapolated to in vivo studies because of the increased level of complexity and the likelihood of secondary and/or synergistic effects in the latter.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas therapy has shown great potential as a very promising approach in the ongoing fight against tumors. However, delivering unstable CO to the tumor site and safely releasing it for maximum efficacy still have unsatisfactory outcomes. In this study, we've developed nanotheranostics (IN-DPPCO NPs) based on conjugated polymer IN-DPP and carbon monoxide (CO) carrier polymer mPEG(CO) for photothermal augmented gas therapy. The IN-DPPCO NPs can release CO with the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) overexpressed in the tumor microenvironment. Meanwhile, IN-DPPCO NPs exhibit strong absorption in the near-infrared window, showing a high photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 41.5% under 808 nm laser irradiation. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that these nanotheranostics exhibit good biocompatibility. Furthermore, the synergistic CO/photothermal therapy shows enhanced therapeutic efficacy compared to gas therapy alone. This work highlights the great promise of conjugated polymer nanoparticles as versatile nanocarriers for spatiotemporally controlled and on-demand delivery of gaseous messengers to achieve precision cancer theranostics.

Abstract
The role of carbon monoxide (CO) has evolved albeit controversial disputes on its toxicity. This biological gasotransmitter participates in the endogenous regulation of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides released in the nervous system. Exogenous CO gas inhalation at a lower concentration has been the subject of investigations, which have revealed its biological homeostatic mechanisms and protective effects against many pathological conditions. This therapeutic procedure of CO is, however, limited due to its immediate release, which favours haemoglobin at a high affinity with the subsequent generation of toxic carboxyhaemoglobin in tissues. In order to address this problem, carbon monoxide releasing molecule-2 (CORM-2) or also known as tricarbonyldichlororuthenium II dimer is developed to liberate a controlled amount of CO in the biological systems. In this review, we examine several potential mechanisms exerted by this therapeutic compound to produce the anti-nociceptive effect that has been demonstrated in previous studies. This review could shed light on the role of CORM-2 to reduce pain, especially in cases of chronic and neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Background Preconditioning is a promising strategy against ischemic brain injury, and numerous studies in vitro and in vivo have demonstrated its neuroprotective effects. However, at present there is no bibliometric analysis of preconditioning in cerebral ischemia. Therefore, a comprehensive overview of the current status, hot spots, and emerging trends in this research field is necessary. Materials and methods Studies on preconditioning in cerebral ischemia from January 1999-December 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database. CiteSpace was used for data mining and visual analysis. Results A total of 1738 papers on preconditioning in cerebral ischemia were included in the study. The annual publications showed an upwards and then downwards trend but currently remain high in terms of annual publications. The US was the leading country, followed by China, the most active country in recent years. Capital Medical University published the largest number of articles. Perez-Pinzon, Miguel A contributed the most publications, while KITAGAWA K was the most cited author. The focus of the study covered three areas: (1) relevant diseases and experimental models, (2) types of preconditioning and stimuli, and (3) mechanisms of ischemic tolerance. Remote ischemic preconditioning, preconditioning of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and inflammation are the frontiers of research in this field. Conclusion Our study provides a visual and scientific overview of research on preconditioning in cerebral ischemia, providing valuable information and new directions for researchers.

Computational and crystallographic study of hydrogen bonds in the second coordination sphere of chelated amino acids with a free water molecule: Influence of complex charge and metal ion.

Abstract
Hydrogen bonds of glycine complexes were calculated using quantum chemistry calculations at M06L-GD3/def2-TZVPP level and by analyzing the crystal structures from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). One hydrogen bond where amino acid plays the role of the H-donor (NH/O), and two where it plays the role of the H-acceptor (O1/HO, O1 is a coordinated oxygen atom, and, O2/HO, O2 is a non-coordinated oxygen atom) were investigated. The calculations were done on octahedral nickel(II), square pyramidal copper(II), square planar copper(II), palladium(II), and platinum(II) glycine complexes with different charges adjusted using water(s) and/or chlorine ion(s) as the remaining ligands. For NH/O hydrogen bond, interaction energies of neutral complexes are the weakest, from -5.2 to -7.2 kcal/mol for neutral, stronger for singly positive, from -8.3 to -12.1 kcal/mol, and the strongest for doubly positive complex, -16.9 kcal/mol. For O1/HO and O2/HO interactions, neutral complexes have weaker interaction energies (from -2.2 to -5.1 kcal/mol for O1/HO, and from -3.7 to -5.0 kcal/mol for O2/HO), than for singly negative complexes (from -6.9 to -8.2 kcal/mol for O1/HO, and from -8.0 to -9.0 kcal/mol for O2/HO). Additionally to the complex charge, metal oxidation number, coordination number, and metal atomic number also influence the hydrogen bond strength, however, the influence is smaller.

Abstract
The link between smoking and a lower risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the strongest environmental or lifestyle associations in neuroepidemiology. Growing evidence supports the hypothesis that the association is based on a neuroprotective effect of smoking on PD, despite the plausible alternative that smoking serves as a marker for a proximal protective influence without itself conferring benefit. But how smoking could protect against neurodegeneration in PD is not well understood. Of several candidate molecules and mechanisms that have been nominated, nicotine has received the most attention. However, randomized controlled clinical trials of nicotine in PD have failed to demonstrate benefit on motor endpoints, including the NIC-PD study in which recently diagnosed participants were randomly assigned to placebo or nicotine treatment for 1 year. Given these results, the time is right to evaluate the neuroprotective potential of other molecules and biochemical cascades triggered by smoking. Here, we review the evidence supporting smoking's possible protective effect on PD, compounds in tobacco and smoke that might mediate such benefit, and non-causal classes of explanation, including reverse causation and the prospect of shared genetic determinants of smoking and PD resistance. The therapeutic potential of non-nicotine components of smoke is suggested by studies supporting multiple alternative mechanisms ranging from monoamine oxidase inhibitors to gut microbiome disruption to antioxidant response induction by chronic exposure to low levels of carbon monoxide. Rigorous investigation is warranted to evaluate this molecule and others for disease-preventing and disease-modifying activity in PD models and, if warranted, in clinical trials. © 2024 The Authors.

Abstract
Transition metal carbonyl compound of CO releasing molecules (CORMs) are widely used to treat arthritis, tumor and immune. They play a physiological role by directly acting on target tissues to release CO for disease treatment without matrix metabolism after dissolution. It is important to track the level and diffusion process of CORMs in vivo to control CO dose and distribution, facilitating to understand the roles of CORMs in disease treatment. Herein, we designed two red ring Ir1/2 complexes with a large stokes shift. Both Ir1 and Ir2 complexes probes can sensitively and selectively respond to CORM-2. The probe Ir1 exhibits rapid reaction with CORM-2 in Phosphate Buffered Saline within 1 min, showing a detection limitation of 0.13 μM and manifesting a linear relationship with the CORM-2 concentration from 0 to 70 μM at λem = 618 nm. Due to low toxicity even after 12 h exposure and fluorescence stability, this probe has been successfully used for continuous tracking the diffusion process of CORM-2 in living cells for up to 60 min and visualizing CORM-2 distribution in zebrafish. Additionally, this probe showed a good capacity for deep penetration (126 μm), suggesting the potential in detecting CORM-2 in living tissues.
