Abstract
Tissue defect is one of the significant challenges encountered in clinical practice. Nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, nanofibers, and metal-organic frameworks, have demonstrated an extensive potential in tissue regeneration, offering a promising avenue for future clinical applications. Nonetheless, the intricate landscape of the inflammatory tissue microenvironment has engendered challenges to the efficacy of nanomaterial-based therapies. This quandary has spurred researchers to pivot towards advanced nanotechnological remedies for overcoming these therapeutic constraints. Among these solutions, microenvironment-sensitive nanozymes have emerged as a compelling instrument with the capacity to reshape the tissue microenvironment and enhance the intricate process of tissue regeneration. In this review, we summarize the microenvironmental characteristics of damaged tissues, offer insights into the rationale guiding the design and engineering of microenvironment-sensitive nanozymes, and explore the underlying mechanisms that underpin these nanozymes' responsiveness. This analysis includes their roles in orchestrating cellular signaling, modulating immune responses, and promoting the delicate process of tissue remodeling. Furthermore, we discuss the diverse applications of microenvironment-sensitive nanozymes in tissue regeneration, including bone, soft tissue, and cartilage regeneration. Finally, we shed our sights on envisioning the forthcoming milestones in this field, prospecting a future where microenvironment-sensitive nanozymes contribute significantly to the development of tissue regeneration and improved clinical outcomes.

Reprogramming exosomes for immunity-remodeled photodynamic therapy against non-small cell lung cancer. Bioact Mater 2024; 39:206-223. [PMID: 38827172 PMCID: PMC11141154 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.05.030] [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: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Traditional treatments against advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high morbidity and mortality continue to be dissatisfactory. Given this situation, there is an urgent requirement for alternative modalities that provide lower invasiveness, superior clinical effectiveness, and minimal adverse effects. The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and immunotherapy gradually become a promising approach for high-grade malignant NSCLC. Nevertheless, owing to the absence of precise drug delivery techniques as well as the hypoxic and immunosuppressive characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME), the efficacy of this combination therapy approach is less than ideal. In this study, we construct a novel nanoplatform that indocyanine green (ICG), a photosensitizer, loads into hollow manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanospheres (NPs) (ICG@MnO2), and then encapsulated in PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies (anti-PD-L1) reprogrammed exosomes (named ICG@MnO2@Exo-anti-PD-L1), to effectively modulate the TME to oppose NSCLC by the synergy of PDT and immunotherapy modalities. The ICG@MnO2@Exo-anti-PD-L1 NPs are precisely delivered to the tumor sites by targeting specially PD-L1 highly expressed cancer cells to controllably release anti-PD-L1 in the acidic TME, thereby activating T cell response. Subsequently, upon endocytic uptake by cancer cells, MnO2 catalyzes the conversion of H2O2 to O2, thereby alleviating tumor hypoxia. Meanwhile, ICG further utilizes O2 to produce singlet oxygen (1O2) to kill tumor cells under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. Furthermore, a high level of intratumoral H2O2 reduces MnO2 to Mn2+, which remodels the immune microenvironment by polarizing macrophages from M2 to M1, further driving T cells. Taken together, the current study suggests that the ICG@MnO2@Exo-anti-PD-L1 NPs could act as a novel drug delivery platform for achieving multimodal therapy in treating NSCLC.

Abstract
In oxygen (O2)-dependent photodynamic therapy (PDT), photosensitizers absorb light energy, which is then transferred to ambient O2 and subsequently generates cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2). Therefore, the availability of O2 and the utilization efficiency of generated 1O2 are two significant factors that influence the effectiveness of PDT. However, tumor microenvironments (TMEs) characterized by hypoxia and limited utilization efficiency of 1O2 resulting from its short half-life and short diffusion distance significantly restrict the applicability of PDT for hypoxic tumors. To address these challenges, numerous macromolecular nano-assemblies (MNAs) have been designed to relieve hypoxia, utilize hypoxia or enhance the utilization efficiency of 1O2. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review on recent advancements achieved with MNAs in enhancing the effectiveness of O2-dependent PDT against hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SANs) have become a breakthrough in atomically precise catalysis, which relies on the catalytic active site formed by the single-atom itself. From this angle, SANs and their advantages compared to natural enzymes as well as spaces for their application are emphasized. The SANs have outstanding control over their catalytic activities; this is compared with bulk materials and natural enzymes. The structure of the SANs has very promising potential for the next generation of biosensing and biomedical devices and environmental remediation. Although their capabilities are high, difficulties still arise. The specificity, scalability, biosafety, and catalysis mechanisms raise additional issues that require further research. We build up a vision of the perspectives of the better implementation of SANs, which are designed for diagnostic purposes, improving industrial technologies, and creating new sustainable technologies in the food processing industry. AI and machine learning systems may clarify the structure-performance relationship of SANs for improved material and process selectivity. The future of SANs is very promising, and by addressing these challenges and leveraging advancements in artificial intelligence and materials science, SANs have the potential to become powerful tools for a sustainable future.

Crizotinib resistance reversal in ALK-positive lung cancer through zeolitic imidazolate framework-based mitochondrial damage. Acta Biomater 2024:S1742-7061(24)00402-1. [PMID: 39067643 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.07.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Crizotinib (CRZ), one of anaplastic lymphoma kinase tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs), has emerged as a frontline treatment for ALK-positive (ALK+) lung adenocarcinoma. However, the overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp, a mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent protein) in lung adenocarcinoma lesions causes multidrug resistance and limits the efficacy of CRZ treatment. Herein, a mitochondria-targeting nanosystem, zeolitic imidazolate framework-90@indocyanine green (ZIF-90@ICG), was fabricated to intervene in mitochondria and overcome drug resistance. Due to the zinc ion (Zn2+) interference of ZIF-90 and the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of ICG, this nanosystem is well suited for damaging mitochondrial functions, thus downregulating the intracellular ATP level and inhibiting P-gp expression. In addition, systematic bioinformatics analysis revealed the upregulation of CD44 in CRZ-resistant cells. Therefore, hyaluronic acid (HA, a critical target ligand of CD44) was further modified on the surface of ZIF-90@ICG for active targeting. Overall, this ZIF-90@ICG nanosystem synergistically increased the intracellular accumulation of CRZ and reversed CRZ resistance to enhance its anticancer effect, which provides guidance for nanomedicine design to accurately target tumours and induce mitochondrial damage and represents a viable regimen for improving the prognosis of patients with ALK-TKIs resistance. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The original aim of our research was to combat multidrug resistance (MDR) in highly aggressive and lethal lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK+) lung adenocarcinoma. For this purpose, a cascade-targeted system was designed to overcome MDR, integrating lung adenocarcinoma-targeted hyaluronic acid (HA), mitochondrion-targeted zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90), the clinically approved drug crizotinib (CRZ), and the fluorescence imaging agent/photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG). Moreover, using a "two birds with one stone" strategy, ion interference and oxidative stress induced by ZIF-90 and photodynamic therapy (PDT), respectively, disrupt mitochondrial homeostasis, thus downregulating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, inhibiting MDR-relevant P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression and suppressing tumour metastasis. Overall, this research represents an attempt to implement the concept of MDR reversal and realize the trade-offs between MDR and therapeutic effectiveness.

Abstract
The inactivation of natural enzymes by radiation poses a great challenge to their applications for radiotherapy. Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with high structural stability under such extreme conditions become a promising candidate for replacing natural enzymes to shrink tumors. Here, we report a CuN3-centered SAzyme (CuN3-SAzyme) that exhibits higher peroxidase-like catalytic activity than a CuN4-centered counterpart, by locally regulating the coordination environment of single copper sites. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the CuN3 active moiety confers optimal H2O2 adsorption and dissociation properties, thus contributing to high enzymatic activity of CuN3-SAzyme. The introduction of X-ray can improve the kinetics of the decomposition of H2O2 by CuN3-SAzyme. Moreover, CuN3-SAzyme is very stable after a total radiation dose of 500 Gy, without significant changes in its geometrical structure or coordination environment, and simultaneously still retains comparable peroxidase-like activity relative to natural enzymes. Finally, this developed CuN3-SAzyme with remarkable radioresistance can be used as an external field-improved therapeutics for enhancing radio-enzymatic therapy in vitro and in vivo. Overall, this study provides a paradigm for developing SAzymes with improved enzymatic activity through local coordination manipulation and high radioresistance over natural enzymes, for example, as sensitizers for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light, compared with ultraviolet (UV) light, has a stronger tissue penetration ability and is widely used in the medical field. However, few hydrogels can be triggered by NIR. Here, a modular polymer-nanosheet (metal disulfide) (PNS) hydrogel system was proposed, which can be photo-crosslinked through photothermal conversion under NIR light. MoS2, a transition-metal dichalcogenide, was used as a crosslink center in PNS hydrogels. Mo and S (from thiolated polymers), which are essential for gelation, were discovered to have new bonds. Furthermore, 3D printing of NIR-triggered PNS hydrogels was achieved conceptually with masked NIR. Moreover, multiple hydrogels and metal disulfides were applicable in this modular gelation system. This study indicated that these PNS hydrogels have great potential in many smart biomedical applications, including wearable sensors, noninvasive in vivo 3D bioprinting, and tissue repair substitutes.

Abstract
In nature, coenzyme-independent oxidases have evolved in selective catalysis using isolated substrate-binding pockets. Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes), an emerging type of non-protein artificial enzymes, are promising to simulate enzyme active centers, but owing to the lack of recognition sites, realizing substrate specificity is a formidable task. Here we report a metal-ligand dual-site SAzyme (Ni-DAB) that exhibited selectivity in uric acid (UA) oxidation. Ni-DAB mimics the dual-site catalytic mechanism of urate oxidase, in which the Ni metal center and the C atom in the ligand serve as the specific UA and O2 binding sites, respectively, characterized by synchrotron soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, in situ near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and isotope labeling. The theoretical calculations reveal the high catalytic specificity is derived from not only the delicate interaction between UA and the Ni center but also the complementary oxygen reduction at the beta C site in the ligand. As a potential application, a Ni-DAB-based biofuel cell using human urine is constructed. This work unlocks an approach of enzyme-like isolated dual sites in boosting the selectivity of non-protein artificial enzymes.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with atomically dispersed active sites are potential substitutes for natural enzymes. A systematic study of its multiple functions can in-depth understand SAzymes's nature, which remains elusive. Here, we develop a novel ultrafast synthesis of sputtered SAzymes by in situ bombarding-embedding technique. Using this method, sputtered copper (Cu) SAzymes (CuSA) is developed with unreported unique planar Cu-C3 coordinated configuration. To enhance the tumor-specific targeting, we employ a bioorthogonal approach to engineer CuSA, denoted as CuSACO. CuSACO not only exhibits minimal off-target toxicity but also possesses exceptional ultrahigh catalase-, oxidase-, peroxidase-like multienzyme activities, resulting in reactive oxygen species (ROS) storm generation for effective tumor destruction. Surprisingly, CuSACO can release Cu ions in the presence of glutathione (GSH) to induce cuproptosis, enhancing the tumor treatment efficacy. Notably, CuSACO's remarkable photothermal properties enables precise photothermal therapy (PTT) on tumors. This, combined with nanozyme catalytic activities, cuproptosis and immunotherapy, efficiently inhibiting the growth of orthotopic breast tumors and gliomas, and lung metastasis. Our research highlights the potential of CuSACO as an innovative strategy to utilize multiple mechanism to enhance tumor therapeutic efficacy, broadening the exploration and development of enzyme-like behavior and physiological mechanism of action of SAzymes.

Abstract
The efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT)-related cancer therapies is significantly restricted by two irreconcilable obstacles, i.e., low reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capability and hypoxia which constrains the immune response. Herein, this work develops a self-assembled clinical photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) and the HSP90 inhibitor 17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG) nanoparticles (ISDN) without any excipient. This work discovers that the hydrophobic interaction forces between ICG and 17-DMAG promote the photostability of ICG and its intersystem crossing (ISC) process, thereby improving the ROS quantum yield from 0.112 to 0.46. Augmented ROS generation enhances PDT efficacy and further enhances immunogenic cell death (ICD) effects. 17-DMAG inhibits the HSP90/hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) axis to dramatically reverse the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment caused by PDT-aggravated hypoxia. In a mouse model of pancreatic cancer, ISDN markedly improve cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration and MHC I and MHC II activation, demonstrating the superior ICD effects in situ tumor and the powerful systematic antitumor immunity generation, eventually achieving vigorous antitumor and recurrence resistance. This study proposes an unsophisticated and versatile strategy to significantly improve PDT efficacy for enhancing systemic antitumor immunity and potentially extending it to multiple cancers.

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

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

Abstract
In "immune-cold" tumors, the upregulation of immunosuppressive cells and insufficient infiltration of lymphocytes contribute to the resistance against immune therapy. Herein, we have developed a dual-enzyme-like photosensitive nanozyme (PBAF) to remodel the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME) and induce the tumor infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Specifically, PBAF exhibits peroxidase (POD)-like activity and glutathione oxidase (GSHOx)-like activity and can be stimulated by 750 nm laser, promoting oxidative stress at the tumor site. Consequently, this process further leads to the reconstruction of TIME in animal experiments, inducing tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) toward the immunostimulatory M1 phenotype, eliminating myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs). Simultaneously, PBAF also promotes dendritic cells (DCs) maturation to enhance CTLs infiltration into the tumor. The remodeled TIME and enhanced immune responses by PBAF demonstrate significant post-administration inhibition of recurrence and metastasis in the treatment of malignant tumors.

Abstract
The activity of Ru-based alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) electrocatalysts usually decreases rapidly at potentials higher than 0.1 V (vs a reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)), which significantly limits the lifetime of fuel cells. It is found that this phenomenon is caused by the overadsorption of the O species due to the overcharging of Ru nanoparticles at high potentials. Here, Mn1Ox(OH)y clusters-modified Ru nanoparticles (Mn1Ox(OH)y@Ru/C) were prepared to promote charge transfer from overcharged Ru nanoparticles to Mn1Ox(OH)y clusters. Mn1Ox(OH)y@Ru/C exhibits high HOR activity and stability over a wide potential range of 0-1.0 V. Moreover, a hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell with a Mn1Ox(OH)y@Ru/C anode delivers a high peak power density of 1.731 W cm-2, much superior to that of a Pt/C anode. In situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that Mn in Mn1Ox(OH)y clusters could receive more electrons from overcharged Ru at higher potentials and significantly decrease the overadsorption of the O species on Ru, thus permitting the HOR on Ru to proceed at high potentials. This study provides guidance for the design of alkaline HOR catalysts without activity decay at high potentials.

Abstract
Various clinical symptoms of digestive system, such as infectious, inflammatory, and malignant disorders, have a profound impact on the quality of life and overall health of patients. Therefore, the chase for more potent medicines is both highly significant and urgent. Nanozymes, a novel class of nanomaterials, amalgamate the biological properties of nanomaterials with the catalytic activity of enzymes, and have been engineered for various biomedical applications, including complex gastrointestinal diseases (GI). Particularly, because of their distinctive metal coordination structure and ability to maximize atom use efficiency, single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with atomically scattered metal centers are becoming a more viable substitute for natural enzymes. Traditional nanozyme design strategies are no longer able to meet the current requirements for efficient and diverse SAzymes design due to the diversification and complexity of preparation processes. As a result, this review emphasizes the design concept and the synthesis strategy of SAzymes, and corresponding bioenzyme-like activities, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Then the various application of SAzymes in GI illnesses are summarized, which should encourage further research into nanozymes to achieve better application characteristics.

Abstract
Since the discovery of ferromagnetic nanoparticles Fe3O4 that exhibit enzyme-like activity in 2007, the research on nanoenzymes has made significant progress. With the in-depth study of various nanoenzymes and the rapid development of related nanotechnology, nanoenzymes have emerged as a promising alternative to natural enzymes. Within nanozymes, there is a category of metal-based single-atom nanozymes that has been rapidly developed due to low cast, convenient preparation, long storage, less immunogenicity, and especially higher efficiency. More importantly, single-atom nanozymes possess the capacity to scavenge reactive oxygen species through various mechanisms, which is beneficial in the tissue repair process. Herein, this paper systemically highlights the types of metal single-atom nanozymes, their catalytic mechanisms, and their recent applications in tissue repair. The existing challenges are identified and the prospects of future research on nanozymes composed of metallic nanomaterials are proposed. We hope this review will illuminate the potential of single-atom nanozymes in tissue repair, encouraging their sequential clinical translation.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria are the main cause of bacterial infectious diseases, which have posed a grave threat to public health. Single-atom nanozymes have emerged as promising candidates for antibacterial applications, but their activities need to be further improved. Considering diatomic nanozymes exhibit superior metal loading capacities and enhanced catalytic performance, a new interlayer coupling diatomic nanozyme (IC-DAN) is constructed by modulating the coordination environment in an atomic-level engineering. It is well demonstrated that IC-DAN exhibited superior peroxidase-mimetic activity in the presence of H2O2 to yield abundant ∙OH and possessed high photothermal conversion ability, which synergistically achieves efficient antibacterial therapy. Therefore, IC-DAN shows great potential used as antibacterial agent in clinic and this study open a new route to developing high-performance artificial enzymes.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) are emerging natural enzyme mimics and have attracted much attention in the biomedical field. SAzymes with Metal─Nx sites designed on carbon matrixes are currently the mainstream in research. It is of great significance to further expand the types of SAzymes to enrich the nanozyme library. Single-atom alloys (SAAs) are a material in which single-atom metal sites are dispersed onto another active metal matrix, and currently, there is limited research on their enzyme-like catalytic performance. In this work, a biodegradable Pt1Pd SAA is fabricated via a simple galvanic replacement strategy, and for the first time reveals its intrinsic enzyme-like catalytic performance including catalase-, oxidase-, and peroxidase-like activities, as well as its photodynamic effect. Experimental characterizations demonstrate that the introduction of single-atom Pt sites contributes to enhancing the affinity of Pt1Pd single-atom alloy nanozyme (SAAzyme) toward substrates, thus exhibiting boosted catalytic efficiency. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that Pt1Pd SAAzyme exhibits a photo-controlled therapeutic effect, with a tumor inhibition rate of up to 100%. This work provides vital guidance for opening the research direction of SAAs in enzyme-like catalysis.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) showcase not only uniformly dispersed active sites but also meticulously engineered coordination structures. These intricate architectures bestow upon them an exceptional catalytic prowess, thereby captivating numerous minds and heralding a new era of possibilities in the biomedical landscape. Tuning the microstructure of SAzymes on the atomic scale is a key factor in designing targeted SAzymes with desirable functions. This review first discusses and summarizes three strategies for designing SAzymes and their impact on reactivity in biocatalysis. The effects of choices of carrier, different synthesis methods, coordination modulation of first/second shell, and the type and number of metal active centers on the enzyme-like catalytic activity are unraveled. Next, a first attempt is made to summarize the biological applications of SAzymes in tumor therapy, biosensing, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and other biological applications from different mechanisms. Finally, how SAzymes are designed and regulated for further realization of diverse biological applications is reviewed and prospected. It is envisaged that the comprehensive review presented within this exegesis will furnish novel perspectives and profound revelations regarding the biomedical applications of SAzymes.

Abstract
Infective bone defect is increasingly threatening human health. How to achieve the optimal antibacterial activity and regenerative repair of infective bone defect simultaneously is a huge challenge in clinic. Herein, this work reports a rational integration of Mn single-atom nanozyme into the 3D-printed bioceramic scaffolds (Mn/HSAE@BCP scaffolds). The integrated Mn/HSAE@BCP scaffolds can catalyze the conversion of H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radical (•OH) and superoxide anion (O2 •-) through cascade reaction. Besides, the prominent thermal conversion efficiency of Mn/HSAE@BCP scaffolds can be utilized for sonodynamic therapy (SDT). The synergetic strategy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/SDT enables the sufficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) or Escherichia coli (E. coli). Furthermore, the enhanced antibacterial efficacy of Mn/HSAE@BCP scaffolds is beneficial to upregulate the expression of osteogenesis-related markers (such as collagen 1(COL1), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osteocalcin (OCN), and osteoprotegerin (OPG)) in vitro and further promote bone regeneration in vivo. The results demonstrate the good potential of Mn/HSAE@BCP scaffolds for the enhanced antibacterial activity and bone regeneration, which provide an effective method for the treatment of clinical infective bone defect.

Abstract
Catalytic nanoparticles (CNPs) as heterogeneous catalyst reveals superior activity due to their physio-chemical features, such as high surface-to-volume ratio and unique optical, electric, and magnetic properties. The CNPs, based on their physio-chemical nature, can either increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level for tumor and antibacterial therapy or eliminate the ROS for cytoprotection, anti-inflammation, and anti-aging. In addition, the catalytic activity of nanozymes can specifically trigger a specific reaction accompanied by the optical feature change, presenting the feasibility of biosensor and bioimaging applications. Undoubtedly, CNPs play a pivotal role in pushing the evolution of technologies in medical and clinical fields, and advanced strategies and nanomaterials rely on the input of chemical experts to develop. Herein, a systematic and comprehensive review of the challenges and recent development of CNPs for biomedical applications is presented from the viewpoint of advanced nanomaterial with unique catalytic activity and additional functions. Furthermore, the biosafety issue of applying biodegradable and non-biodegradable nanozymes and future perspectives are critically discussed to guide a promising direction in developing span-new nanozymes and more intelligent strategies for overcoming the current clinical limitations.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozyme-based catalytic therapy is of great interest in the field of tumor catalytic therapy; however, their development suffers from the low affinity of nanozymes to the substrates (H2O2 or O2), leading to deficient catalytic activity in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we report a new strategy for precisely tuning the d-band center of dual-atomic sites to enhance the affinity of metal atomic sites and substrates on a class of edge-rich N-doped porous carbon dual-atomic sites Fe-Mn (Fe1Mn1-NCe) for greatly boosting multiple-enzyme-like catalytic activities. The as-made Fe1Mn1-NCe achieved a much higher catalytic efficiency (Kcat/Km = 4.01 × 105 S-1·M-1) than Fe1-NCe (Kcat/Km = 2.41 × 104 S-1·M-1) with an outstanding stability of over 90% activity retention after 1 year, which is the best among the reported dual-atom nanozymes. Theoretical calculations reveal that the synergetic effect of Mn upshifts the d-band center of Fe from -1.113 to -0.564 eV and enhances the adsorption capacity for the substrate, thus accelerating the dissociation of H2O2 and weakening the O-O bond on O2. We further demonstrated that the superior enzyme-like catalytic activity of Fe1Mn1-NCe combined with photothermal therapy could effectively inhibit tumor growth in vivo, with an inhibition rate of up to 95.74%, which is the highest value among the dual-atom artificial enzyme therapies reported so far.

[PMID: 38327168 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202319966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
Albeit sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has achieved encouraging progress in microbial sterilization, the scarcity of guidelines for designing highly effective sonosensitizers and the intricate biofilm microenvironment (BME), substantially hamper the therapeutic efficacy against biofilm infections. To address the bottlenecks, we innovatively design a Ru(II) metallacycle-based sonosensitizer/sonocatalyst (named Ru-A3-TTD) to enhance the potency of sonotherapy by employing molecular engineering strategies tailored to BME. Our approach involves augmenting Ru-A3-TTD's production of ultrasonic-triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS), surpassing the performance of commercial sonosensitizers, through a straightforward but potent π-expansion approach. Within the BME, Ru-A3-TTD synergistically amplifies sonotherapeutic efficacy via triple-modulated approaches: (i) effective alleviation of hypoxia, leading to increased ROS generation, (ii) disruption of the antioxidant defense system, which shields ROS from glutathione consumption, and (iii) enhanced biofilm penetration, enabling ROS production in deep sites. Notably, Ru-A3-TTD sono-catalytically oxidizes NADPH, a critical coenzyme involved in antioxidant defenses. Consequently, Ru-A3-TTD demonstrates superior biofilm eradication potency against multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli compared to conventional clinical antibiotics, both in vitro and in vivo. To our knowledge, this study represents the pioneering instance of a supramolecular sonosensitizer/sonocatalyst. It provides valuable insights into the structure-activity relationship of sonosensitizers and paves a promising pathway for the treatment of biofilm infections.

Abstract
Designing biomimetic nanomaterials with peroxidase (POD)-like activity at neutral pH remains a significant challenge. An S-doping strategy is developed to afford an iron single-atom nanomaterial (Fe1@CN-S) with high POD-like activity under neutral conditions. To the best of knowledge, there is the first example on the achievement of excellent POD-like activity under neutral conditions by regulating the active site structure. S-doping not only promotes the dissociation of the N─H bond in 3,3″,5,5″-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), but also facilitates the desorption of OH* by the transformation of iron species' spin states from middle-spin (MS FeII) to low-spin (LS FeII). Meanwhile, LS FeII sites typically have more unfilled d orbitals, thereby exhibiting stronger interactions with H2O2 than MS FeII, which can enhance POD-like activity. Finally, a one-pot visual detection of glucose at pH 7 is performed, demonstrating the best selectivity and sensitivity than previous reports.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal reactions provide a powerful tool to manipulate biological processes in their native environment. However, the transition-metal catalysts (TMCs) for bioorthogonal catalysis are limited to low atomic utilization and moderate catalytic efficiency, resulting in unsatisfactory performance in a complex physiological environment. Herein, sulfur-doped Fe single-atom catalysts with atomically dispersed and uniform active sites are fabricated to serve as potent bioorthogonal catalysts (denoted as Fe-SA), which provide a powerful tool for in situ manipulation of cellular biological processes. As a proof of concept, the N6-methyladensoine (m6A) methylation in macrophages is selectively regulated by the mannose-modified Fe-SA nanocatalysts (denoted as Fe-SA@Man NCs) for potent cancer immunotherapy. Particularly, the agonist prodrug of m6A writer METTL3/14 complex protein (pro-MPCH) can be activated in situ by tumor-associated macrophage (TAM)-targeting Fe-SA@Man, which can upregulate METTL3/14 complex protein expression and then reprogram TAMs for tumor killing by hypermethylation of m6A modification. Additionally, we find the NCs exhibit an oxidase (OXD)-like activity that further boosts the upregulation of m6A methylation and the polarization of macrophages via producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Ultimately, the reprogrammed M1 macrophages can elicit immune responses and inhibit tumor proliferation. Our study not only sheds light on the design of single-atom catalysts for potent bioorthogonal catalysis but also provides new insights into the spatiotemporal modulation of m6A RNA methylation for the treatment of various diseases.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment strategy that utilizes photosensitizers to convert oxygen within tumors into reactive singlet oxygen (1O2) to lyse tumor cells. Nevertheless, pre-existing tumor hypoxia and oxygen consumption during PDT can lead to an insufficient oxygen supply, potentially reducing the photodynamic efficacy. In response to this issue, we have devised a pH-responsive amphiphilic triblock fluorinated polymer (PDP) using copper-mediated RDRP. This polymer, composed of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, and (perfluorooctyl)ethyl acrylate, self-assembles in an aqueous environment. Oxygen, chlorine e6 (Ce6), and doxorubicin (DOX) can be codelivered efficiently by PDP. The incorporation of perfluorocarbon into the formulation enhances the oxygen-carrying capacity of PDP, consequently extending the lifetime of 1O2. This increased lifetime, in turn, amplifies the PDT effect and escalates the cellular cytotoxicity. Compared with PDT alone, PDP@Ce6-DOX-O2 NPs demonstrated significant inhibition of tumor growth. This study proposes a novel strategy for enhancing the efficacy of PDT.

Abstract
Leukemia is a type of clonal disorder of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells characterized by bone marrow failure, differentiation arrest, and lineage skewing. Despite leukemia being a complex disease and it being difficult to identify a single driving force, redox homeostasis, the balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) producers and cellular antioxidant systems, is normally impaired during leukemogenesis. In this context, the modulation of ROS in leukemia cells can be harnessed for therapeutic purposes. Nanozymes are functional nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics, which address the intrinsic limitations of natural enzymes and exhibit great potential in synergistic antitumor therapy. Nanozymes possess catalytic activities (e.g., peroxidase-like activity, catalase-like activity, superoxide dismutase-like activity, and oxidase-like activity) to regulate ROS levels in vitro and in vivo, making them promising for leukemia therapy. On account of the rapid development of nanozymes recently, their application potentials in leukemia therapy are gradually being explored. To highlight the achievements of nanozymes in the leukemia field, this review summarizes the recent studies of nanozymes with anti-leukemia efficacy and the underlying mechanism. In addition, the challenges and prospects of nanozyme research in leukemia therapy are discussed.

Abstract
Currently, cancer remains one of the most significant threats to human health. Treatment of most cancers remains challenging, despite the implementation of diverse therapies in clinical practice. In recent years, research on the mechanism of ferroptosis has presented novel perspectives for cancer treatment. Ferroptosis is a regulated cell death process caused by lipid peroxidation of membrane unsaturated fatty acids catalyzed by iron ions. The rapid development of bio-nanotechnology has generated considerable interest in exploiting iron-induced cell death as a new therapeutic target against cancer. This article provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements at the intersection of iron-induced cell death and bionanotechnology. In this respect, the mechanism of iron-induced cell death and its relation to cancer are summarized. Furthermore, the feasibility of a nano-drug delivery system based on iron-induced cell death for cancer treatment is introduced and analyzed. Secondly, strategies for inducing iron-induced cell death using nanodrug delivery technology are discussed, including promoting Fenton reactions, inhibiting glutathione peroxidase 4, reducing low glutathione levels, and inhibiting system Xc-. Additionally, the article explores the potential of combined treatment strategies involving iron-induced cell death and bionanotechnology. Finally, the application prospects and challenges of iron-induced nanoagents for cancer treatment are discussed.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a class of nanomaterials mimicking the function of enzymes, have aroused much attention as the candidate in diverse fields with the arbitrarily tunable features owing to the diversity of crystalline nanostructures, composition, and surface configurations. However, the uncertainty of their active sites and the lower intrinsic deficiencies of nanomaterial-initiated catalysis compared with the natural enzymes promote the pursuing of alternatives by imitating the biological active centers. Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) maximize the atom utilization with the well-defined structure, providing an important bridge to investigate mechanism and the relationship between structure and catalytic activity. They have risen as the new burgeoning alternative to the natural enzyme from in vitro bioanalytical tool to in vivo therapy owing to the flexible atomic engineering structure. Here, focus is mainly on the three parts. First, a detailed overview of single-atom catalyst synthesis strategies including bottom-up and top-down approaches is given. Then, according to the structural feature of single-atom nanocatalysts, the influence factors such as central metal atom, coordination number, heteroatom doping, and the metal-support interaction are discussed and the representative biological applications (including antibacterial/antiviral performance, cancer therapy, and biosensing) are highlighted. In the end, the future perspective and challenge facing are demonstrated.

Abstract
Nanoparticle aggregates in solution controls surface reactivity and function. Complete dispersion often requires additive sorbents to impart a net repulsive interaction between particles. Facet engineering of nanocrystals offers an alternative approach to produce monodisperse suspensions simply based on facet-specific interaction with solvent molecules. Here, we measure the dispersion/aggregation of three morphologies of hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles in varied aqueous solutions using ex situ electron microscopy and in situ small-angle x-ray scattering. We demonstrate a unique tendency of (104) hematite nanoparticles to maintain a monodisperse state across a wide range of solution conditions not observed with (001)- and (116)-dominated particles. Density functional theory calculations reveal an inert, densely hydrogen-bonded first water layer on the (104) facet that favors interparticle dispersion. Results validate the notion that nanoparticle dispersions can be controlled through morphology for specific solvents, which may help in the development of various nanoparticle applications that rely on their interfacial area to be highly accessible in stable suspensions.

Abstract
Intracellular singlet oxygen (1O2) generation and detection help optimize the outcome of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Theranostics programmed for on-demand phototriggered 1O2 release and bioimaging have great potential to transform PDT. We demonstrate an ultrasensitive fluorescence turn-on sensor-sensitizer-RGD peptide-silica nanoarchitecture and its 1O2 generation-releasing-storing-sensing properties at the single-particle level or in living cells. The sensor and sensitizer in the nanoarchitecture are an aminomethyl anthracene (AMA)-coumarin dyad and a porphyrin or CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), respectively. The AMA in the dyad quantitatively quenches the fluorescence of coumarin by intramolecular electron transfer, the porphyrin or QD moiety generates 1O2, and the RGD peptide facilitates intracellular delivery. The small size, below 200 nm, as verified by scanning electron microscopy and differential light scattering measurements, of the architecture within the 1O2 diffusion length enables fast and efficient intracellular fluorescence switching by the tandem ultraviolet (UV)-visible or visible-near-infrared (NIR) photo-triggering. While the red emission and 1O2 generation by the porphyrin are continually turned on, the blue emission of coumarin is uncaged into 230-fold intensity enhancement by on-demand photo-triggering. The 1O2 production and release by the nanoarchitecture enable spectro-temporally controlled cell imaging and apoptotic cell death; the latter is verified from cytotoxic data under dark and phototriggering conditions. Furthermore, the bioimaging potential of the TCPP-based nanoarchitecture is examined in vivo in B6 mice.

Abstract
A proven and promising method to improve the catalytic performance of single-atom catalysts through the interaction between bimetallic atoms to change the active surface sites or adjust the catalytic sites of reactants is reported. In this work, we used an iron-platinum bimetallic reagent as the metal source to precisely synthesise covalent organic framework-derived diatomic catalysts (FePt-DAC/NC). Benefiting from the coordination between the two metal atoms, the presence of Pt single atoms can successfully regulate Fe-N3 activity. FePt-DAC/NC exhibited a stronger ability to catalyze H2O2 to produce toxic hydroxyl radicals than Fe single-atom catalysts (Fe-SA/NC) to achieve chemodynamic therapy of tumors (the catalytic efficiency improved by 186.4%). At the same time, under the irradiation of an 808 nm laser, FePt-DAC/NC exhibited efficient photothermal conversion efficiency to achieve photothermal therapy of tumors. Both in vitro and in vivo results indicate that FePt-DAC/NC can efficiently suppress tumor cell growth by a synergistic therapeutic effect with photothermally augmented nanocatalytic therapy.

Abstract
Inflammatory skin disorders can cause chronic scarring and functional impairments, posing a significant burden on patients and the healthcare system. Conventional therapies, such as corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are limited in efficacy and associated with adverse effects. Recently, nanozyme (NZ)-based hydrogels have shown great promise in addressing these challenges. NZ-based hydrogels possess unique therapeutic abilities by combining the therapeutic benefits of redox nanomaterials with enzymatic activity and the water-retaining capacity of hydrogels. The multifaceted therapeutic effects of these hydrogels include scavenging reactive oxygen species and other inflammatory mediators modulating immune responses toward a pro-regenerative environment and enhancing regenerative potential by triggering cell migration and differentiation. This review highlights the current state of the art in NZ-engineered hydrogels (NZ@hydrogels) for anti-inflammatory and skin regeneration applications. It also discusses the underlying chemo-mechano-biological mechanisms behind their effectiveness. Additionally, the challenges and future directions in this ground, particularly their clinical translation, are addressed. The insights provided in this review can aid in the design and engineering of novel NZ-based hydrogels, offering new possibilities for targeted and personalized skin-care therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has gained significant attention due to its superiority over conventional treatments. In the context of skin cancers and nonmalignant skin diseases, topical application of photosensitizer formulations onto affected skin, followed by illumination, offers distinct advantages. Topical PDT simplifies therapy by providing easy access to the skin, increasing drug concentration within the target area, and confining residual photosensitivity to the treated skin. However, the effectiveness of topical PDT is often hindered by challenges such as limited skin penetration or photosensitizer instability. Additionally, the hypoxic tumor environment poses further limitations. Nanocarriers present a promising solution to address these challenges. AREAS COVERED The objective of this review is to comprehensively explore and highlight the role of various nanocarriers in advancing topical PDT for the treatment of skin diseases. The primary focus is to address the challenges associated with conventional topical PDT approaches and demonstrate how nanotechnology-based strategies can overcome these challenges, thereby improving the overall efficiency and efficacy of PDT. EXPERT OPINION Nanotechnology has revolutionized the field of PDT, offering innovative tools to combat the unfavorable features of photosensitizers and hurdles in PDT. Nanocarriers enhance skin penetration and stability of photosensitizers, provide controlled drug release, reduce needed dose, increase production of reactive oxygen species, while reducing side effects, thereby improving PDT effectiveness.

Abstract
Oral cancer is a disease with high morbidity and mortality worldwide and greatly impacts the quality of life, especially in patients with advanced stages. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is one of the most effective clinical treatments for oral cancers. However, most clinically applied photosensitizers have several deficiencies, including oxygen dependence, poor aqueous solubility, and a lack of tumor-targeting ability. Herein, the carrier-free multifunctional Sorafenib (Sor), chlorin e6 (Ce6), and Fe3+ self-assembly co-delivery nanoparticles (Sor-Ce6 NPs) were constructed via combining a ferroptosis inducer Sor and a photosensitizer Ce6 for synergetic therapy. The as-synthesized Sor-Ce6 NPs presented excellent colloidal stability and water dispersity with good in vivo tumor-targeting ability. More significantly, the low dose of Sor-Ce6 NPs had little dark toxicity but produced significantly enhanced ROS and supplied O2 sustainably to increase phototoxicity through ferroptosis pathway. Notably, the Sor-Ce6 NPs showed significantly higher in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor efficacy than the Sor/Ce6 mixture due to the improvement of cellular uptake and the incorporation of foreign Fe ions in the system, which also confer the T1 magnetic resonance-guided imaging ability to the formed Sor-Ce6 NPs. Our study demonstrates a promising self-assembled strategy for overcoming hypoxia-related PDT resistance for oral cancer treatment.

Abstract
Microwave thermotherapy (MWT) has shown great potential in cancer treatment due to its deep tissue penetration and minimally invasive nature. However, the poor microwave absorption (MA) properties of the microwave thermal sensitizer in the medical frequency band significantly limit the thermal effect of MWT and then weaken the therapeutic efficacy. In this paper, a Ni-based multilayer heterointerface nanomissile of MOFs-Ni-Ru@COFs (MNRC) with improved MA performance in the desired frequency band via introducing magnetic loss and dielectric loss is developed for MWT-based treatment. The loading of the Ni nanoparticle in MNRC mediates the magnetic loss, introducing the MA in the medical frequency band. The heterointerface formed in the MNRC by nanoengineering induces significant interfacial polarization, increasing the dielectric loss and then enhancing the generated MA performance. Moreover, MNRC with the strong MA performance in the desired frequency range not only enhances the MW thermal effect of MWT but also facilitates the electron and energy transfer, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) at tumor sites to mediate microwave dynamic therapy (MDT). The strategy of strengthening the MA performance of the sensitizer in the medical frequency band to improve MWT-MDT provides a direction for expanding the clinical application of MWT in tumor treatment.

Abstract
The main challenges of nanozyme-based tumor catalytic therapy (NCT) lie in the unsatisfactory catalytic activity accompanied by a complex tumor microenvironment (TME). A few nanozymes have been designed to possess both enzyme-like catalytic activities and photothermal properties; however, the previously reported nanozymes mainly utilize the inefficient and unsafe NIR-I laser, which has a low maximum permissible exposure limit and a limited penetration depth. Herein, we report for the first time an all-in-one strategy to realize mild NIR-II photothermally amplified NCT by synthesizing amorphous CoSnO3 nanocubes with efficient triple enzyme-like catalytic activities and photothermal conversion properties. The presence of Co2+ and Sn4+ endows CoSnO3 nanocubes with the triple enzyme-like catalytic activities, not only achieving enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through the Co2+-mediated peroxidase-like catalytic reaction to generate ˙OH and Sn4+-mediated depletion of overexpressed GSH, but also realizing the catalytic decomposition of endogenous H2O2 for relieving tumor hypoxia. More importantly, the obtained CoSnO3 nanocubes with a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 82.1% at 1064 nm could achieve mild hyperthermia (43 °C), which further improves the triple enzyme-like catalytic activities of the CoSnO3 nanozyme. The synergetic therapeutic efficacy of the NIR-II-responsive CoSnO3 nanozyme through mild NIR-II PTT-enhanced NCT could realize all-in-one multimodal tumor therapy to completely eliminate tumors without recurrence. This study will open a new avenue to explore NIR-II-photoresponsive nanozymes for efficient tumor therapy.

Abstract
Phototherapy, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), has been considered an elegant solution to eradicate tumors due to its minimal invasiveness and low systemic toxicity. Nevertheless, it is still challenging for phototherapy to achieve ideal outcomes and clinical translation due to its inherent drawbacks. Owing to the unique biological functions, diverse gases have attracted growing attention in combining with phototherapy to achieve super-additive therapeutic effects. Specifically, gases such as nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been proven to kill tumor cells by inducing mitochondrial damage in synergy with phototherapy. Additionally, several gases not only enhance the thermal damage in PTT and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in PDT but also improve the tumor accumulation of photoactive agents. The inflammatory responses triggered by hyperthermia in PTT are also suppressed by the combination of gases. Herein, we comprehensively review the latest studies on gas-synergized phototherapy for cancer therapy, including (1) synergistic mechanisms of combining gases with phototherapy; (2) design of nanoplatforms for gas-synergized phototherapy; (3) multimodal therapy based on gas-synergized phototherapy; (4) imaging-guided gas-synergized phototherapy. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities of gas-synergized phototherapy for tumor treatment are discussed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1. The novelty and significance of the work with respect to the existing literature. (1) Strategies to design nanoplatforms for gas-synergized anti-tumor phototherapy have been summarized for the first time. Meanwhile, the integration of various imaging technologies and therapy modalities which endow these nanoplatforms with advanced theranostic capabilities has been summarized. (2) The mechanisms by which gases synergize with phototherapy to eradicate tumors are innovatively and comprehensively summarized. 2. The scientific impact and interest. This review elaborates current trends in gas-synergized anti-tumor phototherapy, with special emphases on synergistic anti-tumor mechanisms and rational design of therapeutic nanoplatforms to achieve this synergistic therapy. It aims to provide valuable guidance for researchers in this field.

Abstract
Natural metalloenzymes with astonishing reaction activity and specificity underpin essential life transformations. Nevertheless, enzymes only operate under mild conditions to keep sophisticated structures active, limiting their potential applications. Artificial metalloenzymes that recapitulate the catalytic activity of enzymes can not only circumvent the enzymatic fragility but also bring versatile functions into practice. Among them, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) featuring diverse and site-isolated metal sites and supramolecular structures have emerged as promising candidates for metalloenzymes to move toward unparalleled properties and behaviour of enzymes. In this review, we systematically summarize the significant advances in MOF-based metalloenzyme mimics with a special emphasis on active pocket engineering at the atomic level, including primary catalytic sites and secondary coordination spheres. Then, the deep understanding of catalytic mechanisms and their advanced applications are discussed. Finally, a perspective on this emerging frontier research is provided to advance bioinspired catalysis.

Abstract
The growing demand for highly active nanozymes in various fields has led to the development of several strategies to enhance their activity. Plasmonic enhancement, a strategy used in heterogenous catalysis, represents a promising strategy to boost the activity of nanozymes. Herein, Pd-Au heteromeric nanoparticles (Pd-Au dimers) with well-defined heterointerfaces have been explored as plasmonic nanozymes. As a model system, the Pd-Au dimers with integrated peroxidase (POD)-like activity and plasmonic activity are used to investigate the effect of plasmons on enhancing the activity of nanozymes under visible light irradiation. Mechanistic studies revealed that the generation of hot electron-hole pairs plays a dominant role in plasmonic effect, and it greatly enhances the decomposition of H2 O2 to the reactive oxygen species (ROS) intermediates (•OH, •O2 - and 1 O2 ), leading to elevated POD-like activity of the Pd-Au dimers. Finally, the Pd-Au dimers are applied in the plasmon-enhanced colorimetric method for the detection of alkaline phosphatase, exhibiting broad linear range and low detection limit. This study not only provides a straightforward approach for regulating nanozyme activity through plasmonic heterostructures but also sheds light on the mechanism of plasmon-enhanced catalysis of nanozymes.

Abstract
Albeit nanozymes-based tumor catalytic therapy (NCT) relies on endogenous chemical reactions that could achieve tumor microenvironment (TME)-specialized reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, the unsatisfactory catalytic activity of nanozymes accompanied by complex TME poses a barrier to the therapeutic effect of NCT. Herein, a one-step in situ synthesis strategy is reported to construct ternary Ru/TiO2- x @TiCN heterojunctions through oxidative conversion of TiCN nanosheets (NSs) to TiO2- x NSs and reductive deposition of Ru3+ to Ru nanoparticles. The narrow bandgap and existence of heterojunctions enhance the ultrasound-activated ROS generation of Ru/TiO2- x @TiCN because of the accelerated electron transfer and inhibits electron-hole pair recombination. The augmented ROS production efficiency is achieved by Ru/TiO2- x @TiCN with triple enzyme-like activities, which amplifies the ROS levels in a cascade manner through the catalytic decomposition of endogenous H2 O2 to relieve hypoxia and heterojunction-mediated NCT, as well as depletion of overexpressed glutathione. The satisfactory therapeutic effects of Ru/TiO2- x @TiCN heterojunctions are achieved through synergetic sonodynamic therapy and NCT, which achieve the complete elimination of tumors without recurrence. This strategy highlights the potential of in situ synthesis of semiconductor heterojunctions as enhanced sonosensitizers and nanozymes for efficient tumor therapy.

Abstract
Although low-cost nanozymes with excellent stability have demonstrated the potential to be highly beneficial for nanocatalytic therapy (NCT), their unsatisfactory catalytic activity accompanied by intricate tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly hinders the therapeutic effect of NCT. Herein, for the first time, a heterojunction (HJ)-fabricated sonoresponsive and NIR-II-photoresponsive nanozyme is reported by assembling carbon dots (CDs) onto TiCN nanosheets. The narrow bandgap and mixed valences of Ti3+ and Ti4+ endow TiCN with the capability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to ultrasound (US), as well as the dual enzyme-like activities of peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase. Moreover, the catalytic activities and sonodynamic properties of the TiCN nanosheets are boosted by the formation of HJs owing to the increased speed of carrier transfer and the enhanced electron-hole separation. More importantly, the introduction of CDs with excellent NIR-II photothermal properties could achieve mild hyperthermia (43 °C) and thereby further improve the NCT and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) performances of CD/TiCN. The synergetic therapeutic efficacy of CD/TiCN through mild hyperthermia-amplified NCT and SDT could realize "three-in-one" multimodal oncotherapy to completely eliminate tumors without recurrence. This study opens a new avenue for exploring sonoresponsive and NIR-II-photoresponsive nanozymes for efficient tumor therapy based on semiconductor HJs.

Abstract
Tumor cells movement and migration are inseparable from the integrity of lipid rafts and the formation of lamellipodia, and lipid rafts are also a prerequisite for the formation of lamellipodia. Therefore, destroying the lipid rafts is an effective strategy to inhibit tumor metastasis. Herein, a multi-enzyme co-expressed nanomedicine: cholesterol oxidase (CHO) loaded Co─PN3 single-atom nanozyme (Co─PN3 SA/CHO) that can up-regulate cellular oxidative stress, disrupt the integrity of lipid rafts, and inhibit lamellipodia formation to induce anti-metastasis tumor therapy, is developed. In this process, Co─PN3 SA can catalyze oxygen (O2 ) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) via oxidase-like and Fenton-like properties. The doping of P atoms optimizes the adsorption process of the intermediate at the active site and enhances the ROS generation properties of nanomedicine. Meantime, O2 produced by catalase-like catalysis can combine with excess cholesterol to generate more H2 O2 under CHO catalysis, achieving enhanced oxidative damage to tumor cells. Most importantly, cholesterol depletion in tumor cells also disrupts the integrity of lipid rafts and inhibits the formation of lamellipodia, greatly inhibiting the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells. This strategy by up-regulating cellular oxidative stress and depleting cellular cholesterol constructs a new idea for anti-metastasis-oriented cancer therapy strategies.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes), with well-defined and uniform atomic structures, are an emerging type of natural enzyme mimics. Currently, it is important but challenging to rationally design high-performance SAzymes and deeply reveal the interaction mechanism between SAzymes and substrate molecules. Herein, this work reports the controllable fabrication of a unique Cu-N1 S2 -centred SAzyme (Cu-N/S-C) via a chemical vapor deposition-based sulfur-engineering strategy. Benefiting from the optimized geometric and electronic structures of single-atom sites, Cu-N/S-C SAzyme shows boosted enzyme-like activity, especially in catalase-like activity, with a 13.8-fold increase in the affinity to hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) substrate and a 65.2-fold increase in the catalytic efficiency when compared to Cu-N-C SAzyme with Cu-N3 sites. Further theoretical studies reveal that the increased electron density around single-atom Cu is achieved through electron redistribution, and the efficient charge transfer between Cu-N/S-C and H2 O2 is demonstrated to be more beneficial for the adsorption and activation of H2 O2 . The as-designed Cu-N/S-C SAzyme possesses an excellent antitumor effect through the synergy of catalytic therapy and oxygen-dependent phototherapy. This study provides a strategy for the rational design of SAzymes, and the proposed electron redistribution and charge transfer mechanism will help to understand the coordination environment effect of single-atom metal sites on H2 O2 -mediated enzyme-like catalytic processes.

Abstract
Peroxidase (POD)-like nanozymes are an upcoming class of new-generation antibiotics that are efficient for broad-spectrum antibacterial action. The POD-like activity employs the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been utilized for bactericidal action. However, their intrinsic low catalytic activity and stability limit their bactericidal properties. In this study, we prepared a MoS2-based nanocomposite with copper peroxide nanodots (MoS2@CP) to achieve pH-dependent light-induced nanozyme-based antibacterial action. It has shown superior peroxidase and antibacterial activity at low pH. The mechanism behind the enhanced POD-like activity and high antibacterial activity was established. The mechanistic pathway involves estimating ROS generation, membrane depolarization, inner membrane permeabilization, metal ion release, and the effect of NIR on photothermal and photodynamic activities. Overall, our work highlighted the combinatorial approach for eradicating bacterial infections using enzyme-based antibacterial agents.
