Abstract
Transition metal-coordinated porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were perspective in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and catalytic therapy. However, the tumor hypoxia and the insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) seriously limited their efficacies. Herein, by encapsulating ultrasmall iridium (Ir) and modifying glucose oxidase (GOx), an iron-coordinated porphyrin MOF (Fe-MOF) nanoplatform (Fe-MOF@Ir/GOx) was designed to strengthen PDT/catalytic therapy by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) storm. In this nanoplatform, Fe-MOF showed glutathione (GSH)-responsive degradation, by which porphyrin, GOx and ultrasmall Ir were released. Moreover, ultrasmall Ir possessed dual-activities of catalase (CAT)-like and peroxidase (POD)-like, which provided sufficient oxygen (O2) to enhance PDT efficacy, and hydroxyl radical (·OH) production was also improved by combining Fenton reaction of Fe2+. Further, GOx catalyzed endogenous glucose produced H2O2, also reduced pH value, which accelerated Fenton reaction and resulted in generation of ROS storm. Therefore, the developed Fe-MOF@Ir/GOx nanoplatform demonstrated enhanced PDT/catalytic therapy by producing ROS storm, and also provided a promising strategy to promote degradation/metabolism of inorganic nanoplatforms.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SANZs) have emerged as new media for enhancing chemodynamic therapy (CDT) to achieve desirable enzyme-like effects and excellent nanoscale specificity. However, non-optimal adsorption of Fenton-like reaction intermediates prevents SANZs from exerting kinetic activity and hinders the CDT effect. Herein, we demonstrate that heteroatom-doped Co single-atom nanozymes (SACNZs) with intrinsic charge transfer exhibit peroxidase-like properties and significantly improve the ability of CDT to treat Staphylococcus aureus-infected wounds. Density functional theory calculations showed that the S-induced charge transfer effect regulated the electronic distribution of the central metal more efficiently than P, thereby lowering the energy levels for the generation of OH and increasing the catalytic effect. Polyvinylpyrrolidone-modified SACNZs showed effects consistent with this theory in both in vitro antibacterial and in vivo ward management assays. This study systematically investigated the relationship between heteroatom-doping and the catalytic activity of metal centres, opening a new perspective for the application of CDT.

Abstract
Cancer nanotechnology is a promising area of cross-disciplinary research aiming to develop facile, effective, and noninvasive strategies to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment. Catalytic therapy based on exogenous stimulus-responsive semiconductor nanomaterials has shown its potential to address the challenges under the most global medical needs. Semiconductor nanocatalytic therapy is usually triggered by the catalytic action of hot electrons and holes during local redox reactions within the tumor, which represent the response of nontoxic semiconductor nanocatalysts to pertinent internal or external stimuli. However, careful architecture design of semiconductor nanocatalysts has been the major focus since the catalytic efficiency is often limited by facile hot electron/hole recombination. Addressing these challenges is vital for the progress of cancer catalytic therapy. In recent years, diverse strategies have been developed, with heterojunctions emerging as a prominent and extensively explored method. The efficiency of charge separation under exogenous stimulation can be heightened by manipulating the semiconducting performance of materials through heterojunction structures, thereby enhancing catalytic capabilities. This review summarizes the recent applications of exogenous stimulus-responsive semiconducting nanoheterojunctions for cancer theranostics. The first part of the review outlines the construction of different heterojunction types. The next section summarizes recent designs, properties, and catalytic mechanisms of various semiconductor heterojunctions in tumor therapy. The review concludes by discussing the challenges and providing insights into their prospects within this dynamic and continuously evolving field of research.

Abstract
Y2O3 is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly wide-band gap photocatalyst with extensive application potential. However, its limited ability to be excited by visible light restricts its practical uses. In this study, we coupled the narrow bandgap semiconductor AgI with Y2O3 to form a Z-scheme heterostructure, significantly promoting its photocatalytic degradation activity. Characterization and experimental results demonstrated the formation of Y-O-Ag bonds through coupling with AgI, leading to an increase in oxygen vacancies in Y2O3, which promotes the chemisorption of H2O and O2. The Y-O-Ag bond introduction promotes electron transfer, improves hole utilization, and boosts energy transfer efficiency, thus promoting the efficient generation of ·OH and 1O2. The photocatalytic degradation rates of RhB and o-nitrophenol by 7.5% AgI/Y2O3 were 26.5 and 4 times higher than those of pure Y2O3, respectively. This study provides theoretical support for the Z-scheme heterojunction to improve photocatalytic activity and offers efficient solutions and practical design ideas for sewage purification.

Abstract
Sonopiezoelectric therapy harnesses piezoelectric materials to efficiently generate destructive reactive oxygen species when exposed to ultrasound. This innovative approach shows promise for tumor treatment by combining precise targeting of tumor sites through noninvasive ultrasound control with high reactive oxygen species generation capabilities via the piezoelectric effect. This study utilizes a theoretical-guided method to manipulate atomic vacancy defects and regulate the Peierls distortion in 1T'-ReS2 nanosheets, thereby imparting them with sonopiezoelectric properties not inherent to the original material. Furthermore, the plentiful unsaturated sites of ReS2 nanosheets endow them with excellent catalase- and peroxidase-mimicking activities. The reactive oxygen species generation by the engineered ReS2 nanosheets also leads to the depletion of glutathione. These capabilities are leveraged for tumor ferroptosis therapy via the classical pathway involving the 7-member 11-glutathione-GPX4 signaling axis, alongside the downregulation of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase and ferritin levels and the upregulation of fatty acid CoA ligase 4 expression. This showcases the innovative approach and potential applications of employing 1T'-ReS2 nanosheets in cancer treatment through theoretical design and materials engineering.

Abstract
Immunotherapy stands as a groundbreaking strategy for cancer treatment, due to its ability to precisely and safely detect and eradicate tumors. However, the efficacy of immunotherapy is often limited by tumor autophagy, a natural defense mechanism that tumors exploit to resist immune attacks. Herein, we introduce a spatiotemporally controlled method to modulate tumor autophagy via sonocatalysis, aiming to improve immunotherapeutic outcomes. Specifically, we synthesized a tumor-targeting nanocatalyst based on a semiconductor heterojunction composed of Barium Titanate (BTO), Black Phosphorus (BP) integrated with Hyaluronic Acid (HA), referred to as BTO/BP-HA. Compared to traditional catalysts, the heterojunction structure enhances energy band bending and rapid electron-hole separation under ultrasonic stimulation, splitting water to generate H2. This promotes tumor cell apoptosis by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration and induces immunogenic cell death, triggering immune responses to eliminate tumor cells. However, the concurrent activation of autophagy mitigates the cytotoxic effectiveness of nanocatalysts. Within the nanocatalyst, BP undergoes lysosomal degradation to generate PO43-, which subsequently interacts with H+ to generate a conjugated acidic anion, increasing the lysosomal pH. This research ingeniously combines sonocatalysis with tumor autophagy, disrupting the activity of acidic hydrolases to inhibit autophagy, thereby enhancing the immune response and improving the effectiveness of immunotherapy.

Abstract
The therapy of the clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is crucial for the human healthcare due to its easy metastasis and recurrence, as well as resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In this work, we propose the synthesis of MoS2@red phosphorus (MoS2@RP) heterojunction to induce synergistic photodynamic and photothermal therapy (PDT/PTT) of ccRCC. The MoS2@RP heterojunction exhibits enhanced spectra absorption in the NIR range and produce local heat-increasing under the NIR laser irradiation compared with pure MoS2 and RP. The high photocatalytic activity of the MoS2@RP heterojunction contributes to effective transferring of the photo-excited electrons from the RP to MoS2, which promotes the production of various types of radical oxygen species (ROS) to kill the ccRCC cells. After the NIR irradiation, the MoS2@RP can effectively induce the apoptosis in the ccRCC cells through localized hyperthermia and the generation of ROS, while exhibiting low cytotoxicity towards normal kidney cells. In comparison to MoS2, the MoS2@RP heterojunction shows an approximate increase of 22 % in the lethality rate of the ccRCC cells and no significant change in toxicity towards normal cells. Furthermore, the PDT/PTT treatment using the MoS2@RP heterojunction effectively eradicates a substantial number of deep-tissue ccRCC cells in vivo without causing significant damage to major organs. This study presents promising effect of the MoS2@RP heterojunction-based photo-responsive therapy for effective ccRCC treatment.

Abstract
Although nanocatalytic medicine has demonstrated its advantages in tumor therapy, the outcomes heavily relie on substrate concentration and the metabolic pathways are still indistinct. We discover that violet phosphorus quantum dots (VPQDs) can catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) without requiring external stimuli and the catalytic substrates are confirmed to be oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through the computational simulation and experiments. Considering the short of O2 and H2O2 at the tumor site, we utilize calcium peroxide (CaO2) to supply catalytic substrates for VPQDs and construct nanoparticles together with them, named VPCaNPs. VPCaNPs can induce oxidative stress in tumor cells, particularly characterized by a significant increase in hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals, which cause substantial damage to the structure and function of cells, ultimately leading to cell apoptosis. Intriguingly, O2 provided by CaO2 can degrade VPQDs slowly, and the degradation product, phosphate, as well as CaO2-generated calcium ions, can promote tumor calcification. Antitumor immune activation and less metastasis are also observed in VPCaNPs administrated animals. In conclusion, our study unveils the anti-tumor activity of VPQDs as catalysts for generating cytotoxic ROS and the degradation products can promote tumor calcification, providing a promising strategy for treating tumors.

Abstract
Piezo-synthesis of H2O2 utilizing sustainable mechanical energy as well as earth-abundant water and oxygen is a green, cost-effective, and promising approach. However, achieving simultaneous two-electron water oxidation reaction (2e- WOR) and two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR) faces huge challenges due to insufficient synergistic active sites and slow/messy carrier transfer. Herein, a novel 2D/2D van der Waals heterojunction consisting of BiOIO3 and carbon nitride (BIO/CN) is elaborately designed for highly efficient overall H2O2 piezo-synthesis. Theoretical/experimental results reveal that a Z-scheme electron transfer is formed and facilitated by the tandem interfacial electric field and the bulk piezo-polarization field. On this basis, the carriers are efficiently separated while the oxidation/reduction capacity is preserved, thus providing the strong driving force for the 2e- WOR and 2e- ORR on BIO and CN, respectively. Furthermore, the kinetic and thermodynamic processes of WOR and ORR for H2O2 synthesis improve remarkably. Therefore, BIO/CN exhibits an excellent H2O2 yield of 259.8 µM within 30 min in pure water and air atmosphere (without any sacrificial agents and aeration). This study provides a new idea on strategically controlling electron transfer toward high-efficiency H2O2 piezo-synthesis and expands the avenue for developing effective environmental purification materials.

Abstract
Insufficient angiogenic stimulation and dysregulated glycolipid metabolism in senescent vascular endothelial cells (VECs) constitute crucial features of vascular aging. Concomitantly, the generation of excess senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and active immune-inflammatory responses propagates within injured vessels, tissues, and organs. Until now, targeted therapies that efficiently rectify phenotypic abnormalities in senescent VECs have still been lacking. Here, we constructed a Pd/hCeO2-BMS309403@platelet membrane (PCBP) nanoheterostructured capsule system loaded with fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) inhibitors and modified with platelet membranes and investigated its therapeutic role in aged mice. PCBP showed significant maintenance in aged organs and demonstrated excellent biocompatibility. Through cyclic tail vein administration, PCBP extended the lifespan and steadily ameliorated abnormal phenotypes in aged mice, including SASP production, immune and inflammatory status, and age-related metabolic disorders. In senescent ECs, PCBP mediated the activation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling and glycolysis and inhibition of FABP4 by inducing the synthesis of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, thereby reawakening neovascularization and restoring glycolipid metabolic homeostasis. In conclusion, the PCBP nanocapsule system provides a promising avenue for interventions against aging-induced dysfunction.

Abstract
The efficacy of electron-hole separation in a single sonosensitizer and the complexities of the tumor microenvironment (TME) present significant challenges to the effectiveness of sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Designing efficient sonosensitizers to enhance electron-hole separation and alleviate TME resistance is crucial yet challenging. Herein, we introduce a novel Z-scheme heterojunctions (HJs) sonosensitizer using Fe-doped carbon dots (CDs) as auxiliary semiconductors to sensitize cubic Cu2O (Fe-CDs@Cu2O) for the first time. Fe-CDs@Cu2O demonstrated enhanced SDT effects due to improved electron-hole separation. Additionally, the introduction of Fe ions in CDs synergistically enhances Fenton-like reactions with Cu ions in Cu2O, resulting in enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effects. Moreover, Fe-CDs@Cu2O exhibited rapid glutathione (GSH) depletion, effectively mitigating TME resistance. With high rates of 1O2 and OH generated by Fe-CDs@Cu2O, coupled with strong GSH depletion, single drug injection and ultrasound (US) irradiation effectively eliminate tumors. This innovative heterojunction sonosensitizer offers a promising pathway for clinical anti-tumor treatment.

Abstract
Monitoring acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is crucial in clinical diagnosis and drug screening. Traditional methods for detecting AChE usually require the addition of intermediates like acetylthiocholine, which complicates the detection process and introduces interference risks. Herein, we develop a direct colorimetric assay based on alkaline iron formate nanosheets (Fe(HCOO)2.6(OH)0.3·H2O NSs, Fef NSs) for the detection of AChE without any intermediates. The as-prepared Fef NSs exhibit oxidase-like activity, catalyzing the generation of O2·-, 1O2 and ·OH, which leads to a color change from colorless to blue when exposed to 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine. AChE directly inhibits the oxidase-like activity of Fef NSs, resulting in a hindered color reaction, enabling the detection of AChE. The biosensor has a linear detection range of 0.1-30 mU/mL, with a minimum detection limit of 0.0083 mU/mL (S/N = 3), representing a 100-fold improvement in detection sensitivity over the traditional Ellman's method. Satisfactory results were obtained when analyzing real AChE samples. Attractively, a method for the quantitative detection of AChE by a smartphone is established based on the Fef NSs. This method enables instant acquisition of AChE concentrations, achieving real-time visualized detection.

Abstract
Catalytic therapy has shown great potential for clinical application. However, conventional catalytic therapies rely on reactive oxygen species (ROS) as "therapeutic drugs," which have limitations in effectively inhibiting tumor recurrence and metastasis. Here, a biomimetic heterojunction catalyst is developed that can actively target orthotopic rectal cancer after oral administration. The heterojunction catalyst is composed of quatrefoil star-shaped BiVO4 (BVO) and ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) nanosheets through an in situ direct growth technique. Poly-norepinephrine and macrophage membrane coatings afford the biomimetic heterojunction catalyst (BVO/ZIS@M), which has high rectal cancer targeting and retention abilities. The coupled optical fiber intervention technology activates the multicenter coordination of five catalytic reactions of heterojunction catalysts, including two reduction reactions (O2→·O2 - and CO2→CO) and three oxidation reactions (H2O→·OH, GSH→GSSG, and LA→PA). These catalytic reactions not only induce immunogenic death in tumor cells through the efficient generation of ROS/CO and the consumption of GSH but also specifically lead to the use of lactic acid (LA) as an electron donor to improve catalytic activity and disrupt the LA-mediated immunosuppressive microenvironment, mediating synergistic catalysis and immunotherapy for orthotopic rectal cancer. Therefore, this optical fiber intervention triggered the combination of heterojunction catalytic therapy and immunotherapy, which exhibits prominent antitumor effects.

Abstract
Developing a low-cost and highly efficient semiconductor photocatalyst for the decomposition of organic pollutants and antibiotics is highly desirable. Herein, FeOOH nanosheets were prepared using a liquid-phase stirring technique and combined with ZnCdS (ZCS) nanoparticles to construct FeOOH/ZCS nanocomposite photocatalysts. The photocatalytic efficiency of the FeOOH/ZCS nanocomposite was evaluated for the decomposition of various pollutants, including rhodamine B, methylene Blue, and tetracycline. The FeOOH/ZCS nanocomposite exhibited significantly higher photocatalytic performance for the decomposition of various organics. Moreover, the optimized FeOOH/ZCS retained more than 90% of its initial photocatalytic activity even after five successful runs. Radical quenching test and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis revealed that hydroxyl radicals (•OH) play a dominant role for the decomposition of organics. The FeOOH/ZCS Z-scheme heterojunction significantly facilitates higher charge transfer efficiency and the generation of reactive radicals, resulting in excellent photocatalytic degradation performance. This work offers a new approach to synthesis FeOOH-based photocatalyst for the elimination of organics and antibiotics in water.

Abstract
Photocatalytic ammonia synthesis (PAS) represents an emerging environmentally friendly approach to ammonia production. In this work, we employed Fe doping to modify the cocatalyst 1T MoS2, enhancing the active N2 sites on Fe-1T MoS2 by inducing defects on the surface of 1T MoS2. Afterward, Fe-1T MoS2 was loaded onto a hollow coral-like graphitic carbon nitride (CCN)/FeOCl composite. Under simulated sunlight, the efficiency of 5% Fe-1T MoS2@CCN/FeOCl (Fe-MCN/FeOCl) reached 367.62 μmol g-1 h-1, surpassing 1T MoS2@CCN(MCN) by 3.2 times, CCN by 16.9 times, and g-C3N4 by 32.5 times, where 5% means the doping amount of Fe in 1T MoS2. The good performance of Fe MCN/FeOCl should be attributed to the Fe doping in Fe-MCN/FeOCl which not only increases the separation efficiency of active sites and charge carriers, but also reduces the sample impedance significantly through the heterojunction formed between CCN and FeOCl. This work also presents a method for creating more efficient and stable photocatalysts for ammonia synthesis.

Abstract
Implant-related secondary infections are a challenging clinical problem. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) strategies are promising for secondary biofilm infections by nonsurgical therapy. However, the inefficiency of SDT in existing acoustic sensitization systems limits its application. Therefore, we take inspiration from popular metamaterials and propose the design idea of a metainterface heterostructure to improve SDT efficiency. The metainterfacial heterostructure is defined as a periodic arrangement of heterointerface monoclonal cells that amplify the intrinsic properties of the heterointerface. Herein, we develop a TiO2/Ti2O3/vertical graphene metainterface heterostructure film on titanium implants. This metainterface heterostructure exhibits extraordinary sonodynamic and acoustic-to-thermal conversion effects under low-intensity ultrasound. The modulation mechanisms of the metainterface for electron accumulation and separation are revealed. The synergistic sonodynamic/mild sonothermal therapy disrupts biofilm infections (antibacterial rates: 99.99% for Staphylococcus aureus, 99.54% for Escherichia coli), and the osseointegration ability of implants is significantly improved in in vivo tests. Such a metainterface heterostructure film lays the foundation for the metainterface of manipulating electron transport to enhance the catalytic performance and holding promise for addressing secondary biofilm infections.

Abstract
Mitochondria occupy a central role in the biology of most eukaryotic cells, functioning as the hub of oxidative metabolism where sugars, fats, and amino acids are ultimately oxidized to release energy. This crucial function fuels a variety of cellular activities. Disruption in mitochondrial metabolism is a common feature in many diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative conditions and cardiovascular diseases. Targeting tumor cell mitochondrial metabolism with multifunctional nanosystems emerges as a promising strategy for enhancing therapeutic efficacy against cancer. This review comprehensively outlines the pathways of mitochondrial metabolism, emphasizing their critical roles in cellular energy production and metabolic regulation. The associations between aberrant mitochondrial metabolism and the initiation and progression of cancer are highlighted, illustrating how these metabolic disruptions contribute to oncogenesis and tumor sustainability. More importantly, innovative strategies employing nanomedicines to precisely target mitochondrial metabolic pathways in cancer therapy are fully explored. Furthermore, key challenges and future directions in this field are identified and discussed. Collectively, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state and future potential of nanomedicine in targeting mitochondrial metabolism, offering insights for developing more effective cancer therapies.

Ferroptosis is an emerging non-apoptotic death process, mainly involving lipid peroxidation (LPO) caused by iron accumulation, which is potentially lethal to the intrinsically apoptotic-resistant malignant tumor. However, it is still restricted by the inherent antioxidant systems of tumor cells and the poor efficacy of traditional iron-based ferroptosis initiators. Herein, the study develops a novel ferroptosis-inducing agent based on PEGylated Cu+/Cu2+-doped black phosphorus@polypyrrole heterojunction (BP@CPP), which is constructed by utilizing the phosphate on the surface of BP to chelate Cu ions and initiating subsequent in situ polymerization of pyrrole. As a novel Z-scheme heterojunction, BP@CPP possesses an excellent photocatalytic activity in which the separated electron-hole pairs under laser irradiation endow it with powerful oxidizing and reducing capacities, which synergy with Cu+/Cu2+ self-cycling catalyzing Fenton-like reaction to further strengthen reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, glutathione (GSH) depletion, and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) inactivation, ultimately leading to efficient ferroptosis. Systematic in vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrate that BP@CPP effectively inhibit tumor growth by inducing desired ferroptosis while maintaining a favorable biosafety in the body. Therefore, the developed BP@CPP-based ferroptosis initiator provides a promising strategy for ferroptosis-like cancer therapy.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2401252. [PMID: 38549283 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202401252] [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: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is applied to bladder cancer (BC) given its advantages of high depth of tissue penetration and nontoxicity due to the unique anatomical location of the bladder near the abdominal surface. However, low electron-hole separation efficiency and wide bandgap of sonosensitizers limit the effectiveness of SDT. This study aims to develop a TiO2-Ru-PEG Schottky heterojunction sonosensitizer with high electron-hole separation and narrow bandgap for SDT in BC. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experiments collectively demonstrate that the bandgap of TiO2-Ru-PEG is reduced due to the Schottky heterojunction with the characteristic of crystalline-amorphous interface formed by the deposition of ruthenium (Ru) within the shell layer of TiO2. Thanks to the enhancement of oxygen adsorption and the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs, TiO2-Ru-PEG promotes the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under ultrasound (US) irradiation, resulting in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of bladder tumor cells. The in vivo results prove that TiO2-Ru-PEG boosted the subcutaneous and orthotopic bladder tumor models while exhibiting good safety. This study adopts the ruthenium complex for optimizing sonosensitizers, contributing to the progress of SDT improvement strategies and presenting a paradigm for BC therapy.

Abstract
Tumors produce a hypoxic environment that greatly influences cancer treatment, and conventional chemotherapeutic drugs cannot selectively accumulate in the tumor region because of the lack of a tumor targeting mechanism, causing increased systemic toxicities and side effects. Hence, designing and developing new nanoplatforms that combine multimodal therapeutic regimens is essential to improve tumor therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we report the synthesis of ultrafine Cu nanoparticles loaded with a drug combination of cisplatin (Pt) and 1-methyl-d-tryptophan (1-MT) and externally coated with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) photosensitizer, polydopamine (PDA) and CaO2 of MIL-101(Fe) as a new nanoplatform (Cu@MIL-101@PMTPC). The nanoplatform synergistically combined chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and immunochemotherapy. The Fe3+ in MIL-101(Fe) and the surface Cu nanoparticles exhibited strong ability to consume intracellular glutathione (GSH), thereby generating a Fenton-like response in the tumor microenvironment (TME) with substantial peroxidase (POD)-like and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities. In this design, we used the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor 1-MT to overcome chemotherapy-induced immune escape phenomena including enhanced CD8+ and CD4+ T cell expression, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production, and accelerated immunogenic cell death. The targeted release of cisplatin loaded into Cu@MIL-101@PMTPC also reduced toxic side effects of chemotherapy. TCPP generated a large amount of singlet oxygen (1O2) upon specific laser irradiation to effectively kill tumor cells. CaO2 on the outer layer generated oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to ameliorate hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, enhance the PDT effect, and provide a continuous supply of H2O2 for the Fenton-like reaction. Thus, this nanocarrier platform exhibited a powerful chemodynamic, photodynamic, and immunochemotherapeutic cascade, providing a new strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Effective neuroprotective agents are required to prevent neurological damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) following an acute ischemic stroke. Herein, it is aimed to develop the neuroprotective agents of cerium oxide loaded with platinum clusters engineered modifications (Ptn-CeO2). The density functional theory calculations show that Ptn-CeO2 could effectively scavenge ROS, including hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide anions (·O2 -). In addition, Ptn-CeO2 exhibits the superoxide dismutase- and catalase-like enzyme activities, which is capable of scavenging hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The in vitro studies show that Ptn-CeO2 could adjust the restoration of the mitochondrial metabolism to ROS homeostasis, rebalance cytokines, and feature high biocompatibility. The studies in mice CIRI demonstrate that Ptn-CeO2 could also restore cytokine levels, reduce cysteine aspartate-specific protease (cleaved Caspase 3) levels, and induce the polarization of microglia to M2-type macrophages, thus inhibiting the inflammatory responses. As a result, Ptn-CeO2 inhibits the reperfusion-induced neuronal apoptosis, relieves the infarct volume, reduces the neurological severity score, and improves cognitive function. Overall, these findings suggest that the prominent neuroprotective effect of the engineered Ptn-CeO2 has a significant neuroprotective effect and provides a potential therapeutic alternative for CIRI.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor. In the clinic, usual strategies for OS treatment include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. However, all of these therapies have complications that cannot be ignored. Therefore, the search for better OS treatments is urgent. Black phosphorus (BP), a rising star of 2D inorganic nanoparticles, has shown excellent results in OS therapy due to its outstanding photothermal, photodynamic, biodegradable and biocompatible properties. This review aims to present current advances in the use of BP nanoparticles in OS therapy, including the synthesis of BP nanoparticles, properties of BP nanoparticles, types of BP nanoparticles, and modification strategies for BP nanoparticles. In addition, we have discussed comprehensively the application of BP in OS therapy, including single, dual, and multimodal synergistic OS therapies, as well as studies about bone regeneration and antibacterial properties. Finally, we have summarized the conclusions, limitations and perspectives of BP nanoparticles for OS therapy.

Abstract
In order to establish a set of perfect heterojunction designs and characterization schemes, step-scheme (S-scheme) BiOBr@Bi2S3 nanoheterojunctions that enable the charge separation and expand the scope of catalytic reactions, aiming to promote the development and improvement of heterojunction engineering is developed. In this kind of heterojunction system, the Fermi levels mediate the formation of the internal electric field at the interface and guide the recombination of the weak redox carriers, while the strong redox carriers are retained. Thus, these high-energy electrons and holes are able to catalyze a variety of substrates in the tumor microenvironment, such as the reduction of oxygen and carbon dioxide to superoxide radicals and carbon monoxide (CO), and the oxidation of H2O to hydroxyl radicals, thus achieving sonodynamic therapy and CO combined therapy. Mechanistically, the generated reactive oxygen species and CO damage DNA and inhibit cancer cell energy levels, respectively, to synergistically induce tumor cell apoptosis. This study provides new insights into the realization of high efficiency and low toxicity in catalytic therapy from a unique perspective of materials design. It is anticipated that this catalytic therapeutic method will garner significant interest in the sonocatalytic nanomedicine field.

Abstract
Keloids are benign fibroproliferative tumors that severely diminish the quality of life due to discomfort, dysfunction, and disfigurement. Recently, ultrasound technology as a noninvasive adjuvant therapy is developed to optimize treatment protocols. However, the biophysical mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, it is proposed that piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (Piezo1) plays an important role in low-frequency sonophoresis (LFS) induced mechanical transduction pathways that trigger downstream cellular signaling processes. It is demonstrated that patient-derived primary keloid fibroblasts (PKF), NIH 3T3, and HFF-1 cell migration are inhibited, and PKF apoptosis is significantly increased by LFS stimulation. And the effects of LFS is diminished by the application of GsMTx-4, the selective inhibitor of Piezo1, and the knockdown of Piezo1. More importantly, the effects of LFS can be imitated by Yoda1, an agonist of Piezo1 channels. Establishing a patient-derived xenograft keloid implantation mouse model further verified these results, as LFS significantly decreased the volume and weight of the keloids. Moreover, blocking the Piezo1 channel impaired the effectiveness of LFS treatment. These results suggest that LFS inhibits the malignant characteristics of keloids by activating the Piezo1 channel, thus providing a theoretical basis for improving the clinical treatment of keloids.

Abstract
Intractable infected microenvironments caused by drug-resistant bacteria stalls the normal course of wound healing. Sono-piezodynamic therapy (SPT) is harnessed to combat pathogenic bacteria, but the superabundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during SPT inevitably provoke severe inflammatory response, hindering tissue regeneration. Consequently, an intelligent nanocatalytic membrane composed of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and black phosphorus /V2C MXene bio-heterojunctions (2D2-bioHJs) is devised. Under ultrasonication, 2D2-bioHJs effectively eliminate drug-resistant bacteria by disrupting metabolism and electron transport chain (ETC). When ultrasonication ceases, they enable the elimination of SPT-generated ROS. The 2D2-bioHJs act as a "lever" that effectively achieves a balance between ROS generation and annihilation, delivering both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to the engineered membrane. More importantly, in vivo assays corroborate that the nanocatalytic membranes transform the stalled chronic wound environment into a regenerative one by eradicating the bacterial population, dampening the NF-κB inflammatory pathway and promoting angiogenesis. As envisaged, this work demonstrates a novel tactic to arm membranes with programmed antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects to remedy refractory infected wounds from drug-fast bacteria.

Tumor microenviroment-responsive self-assembly of barium titanate nanoparticles with enhanced piezoelectric catalysis capabilities for efficient tumor therapy. Bioact Mater 2024; 33:251-261. [PMID: 38059123 PMCID: PMC10696196 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.11.004] [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: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Catalytic therapy based on piezoelectric nanoparticles has become one of the effective strategies to eliminate tumors. However, it is still a challenge to improve the tumor delivery efficiency of piezoelectric nanoparticles, so that they can penetrate normal tissues while specifically aggregating at tumor sites and subsequently generating large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to achieve precise and efficient tumor clearance. In the present study, we successfully fabricated tumor microenvironment-responsive assembled barium titanate nanoparticles (tma-BTO NPs): in the neutral pH environment of normal tissues, tma-BTO NPs were monodisperse and possessed the ability to cross the intercellular space; whereas, the acidic environment of the tumor triggered the self-assembly of tma-BTO NPs to form submicron-scale aggregates, and deposited in the tumor microenvironment. The self-assembled tma-BTO NPs not only caused mechanical damage to tumor cells; more interestingly, they also exhibited enhanced piezoelectric catalytic efficiency and produced more ROS than monodisperse nanoparticles under ultrasonic excitation, attributed to the mutual extrusion of neighboring particles within the confined space of the assembly. tma-BTO NPs exhibited differential cytotoxicity against tumor cells and normal cells, and the stronger piezoelectric catalysis and mechanical damage induced by the assemblies resulted in significant apoptosis of mouse breast cancer cells (4T1); while there was little damage to mouse embryo osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1) under the same treatment conditions. Animal experiments confirmed that peritumoral injection of tma-BTO NPs combined with ultrasound therapy can effectively inhibit tumor progression non-invasively. The tumor microenvironment-responsive self-assembly strategy opens up new perspectives for future precise piezoelectric-catalyzed tumor therapy.

Abstract
Precision drug delivery and multimodal synergistic therapy are crucial in treating diverse ailments, such as cancer, tissue damage, and degenerative diseases. Electrodes that emit electric pulses have proven effective in enhancing molecule release and permeability in drug delivery systems. Moreover, the physiological electrical microenvironment plays a vital role in regulating biological functions and triggering action potentials in neural and muscular tissues. Due to their unique noncentrosymmetric structures, many 2D materials exhibit outstanding piezoelectric performance, generating positive and negative charges under mechanical forces. This ability facilitates precise drug targeting and ensures high stimulus responsiveness, thereby controlling cellular destinies. Additionally, the abundant active sites within piezoelectric 2D materials facilitate efficient catalysis through piezochemical coupling, offering multimodal synergistic therapeutic strategies. However, the full potential of piezoelectric 2D nanomaterials in drug delivery system design remains underexplored due to research gaps. In this context, the current applications of piezoelectric 2D materials in disease management are summarized in this review, and the development of drug delivery systems influenced by these materials is forecast.

Abstract
The free radical generation efficiency of nanozymes in cancer therapy is crucial, but current methods fall short. Alloy nanoparticles (ANs) hold promise for improving catalytic performance due to their inherent electronic effect, but there are limited ways to modulate this effect. Here, a self-driven electric field (E) system utilizing triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and AuPd ANs with glucose oxidase (GOx)-like, catalase (CAT)-like, and peroxidase (POD)-like activities is presented to enhance the treatment of 4T1 breast cancer in mice. The E stimulation from TENG enhances the orbital electrons of AuPd ANs, resulting in increased CAT-like, GOx-like, and POD-like activities. Meanwhile, the catalytic cascade reaction of AuPd ANs is further amplified after catalyzing the production of H2 O2 from the GOx-like activities. This leads to 89.5% tumor inhibition after treatment. The self-driven E strategy offers a new way to enhance electronic effects and improve cascade catalytic therapeutic performance of AuPd ANs in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging tumor microenvironment-responsive cancer therapeutic strategy based on Fenton/Fenton-like reactions. However, the effectiveness of CDT is subject to the slow kinetic rate and non-homogeneous distribution of H2 O2 . In this study, a conceptual non-metallic "Fenton-active" center construction strategy is proposed to enhance CDT efficiency using Bi0.44 Ba0.06 Na0.5 TiO2.97 (BNBT-6) nanocrystals. The separated charge carriers under a piezoelectric-induced electric field synchronize the oxidation of H2 O and reduction of H2 O2 , which consequently increases hydroxyl radical (·OH) yield even under low H2 O2 levels. Moreover, acceptor doping induces electron-rich oxygen vacancies to facilitate the dissociation of H2 O2 and H2 O and further promote ·OH generation. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that BNBT-6 induces extensive intracellular oxidative stress and enhances cell-killing efficiency by activating necroptosis in addition to the conventional apoptotic pathway. This study proposes a novel design approach for nanomaterials used in CDT and presents a new treatment strategy for apoptosis-resistant tumors.

Abstract
Treating cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine, with traditional treatment options often being limited by poor therapeutic outcomes and unacceptable side effects. Nanocatalytic therapy activates tumor-localized catalytic reactions in situ via nontoxic or minimally toxic nanocatalysts responding to unique cues from the tumor microenvironment or external stimuli. In particular, sonocatalytic cancer therapy is a promising approach that has emerged as a potential solution to this problem through the combination of ultrasound waves and catalytic materials to selectively target and destroy cancer cells. Compared to light, ultrasound exhibits higher spatial precision, lower energy attenuation, and superior tissue penetrability, furnishing more energy to catalysts. Multidimensional modulation of nanocatalyst structures and properties is pivotal to maximizing catalytic efficiency given constraints in external stimulative energy as well as substrate types and levels. In this review, we discuss the various theories and mechanisms underlying sonocatalytic cancer therapy, as well as advanced catalysts that have been developed for this application. Additionally, we explore the design of sonocatalytic cancer therapy systems, including the use of heterojunction catalysts and the optimal conditions for achieving maximum therapeutic effects. Finally, we highlight the potential benefits of sonocatalytic cancer therapy over traditional cancer treatments, including its noninvasive nature and lower toxicity.

Abstract
The clinical application of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated tumor treatment has been critically limited by inefficient ROS generation. Herein, we rationally synthesized and constructed the three-dimensional PdMo nanoflowers through a one-pot solvothermal reduction method for elaborately regulated peroxidase-like enzymatic activity and glutathione peroxidase-like enzymatic activity, to promote oxidation ROS evolvement and antioxidation glutathione depletion for achieving intensive ROS-mediated tumor therapy. The three-dimensional superstructure composed of two-dimensional nanosheet subunits can solve the issues by avoiding the appearance of tightly stacked crystalline nanostructures. Significantly, Mo is chosen as a second metal to alloy with Pd because of its more chemical valence and negative ionization energy than Pd for improved electron transfer efficiencies and enhanced enzyme-like activities. In addition, the photothermal effect generated by PdMo nanoflowers could also enhance its enzymatic activities. Thus, this work provides a promising paradigm for achieving highly ROS-mediated tumor therapeutic efficacy by regulating the multi-enzymatic activities of Pd-based nanoalloys.

Abstract
The limitations of light source limit the clinical application of optical therapy technology. How to improve the application efficiency of radiant light has become the focus of researchers. Here, we synthesize a kind of UCNPs@PVP-GOx-PpIX-Fe3+ (UPGPF) nanoreactors with rare earth upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as the substrate for the enhancement of ferroptosis effect by the synergistic starvation/photodynamic therapies. Firstly, glucose oxidase (GOx) and Fe3+ loaded in UPGPF nanoreactors are used to directly face the problems of insufficient H2O2 level in tumor tissue and low Fenton reaction efficiency. Further, UCNPs can absorb NIR light at 980 nm and convert low-energy photons into high-energy photons, thereby cleverly generating ultraviolet (UV) radiation induction in vivo, which can produce a synergistic effect of enhancing iron death. The in vivo experimental results of breast cancer model mice show that the UPGPF nanoreactors have significant anticancer effect and good biosafety. With the help of the optical conversion characteristics of UCNPs, this kind of treatment idea of building a UV radiation-induced microplatform in the tumor microenvironment, which leads to the synergistic enhancement of iron death effect, provides a promising innovative design strategy for tumor research.

[PMID: 37739245 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.09.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a physical therapy that utilizes critical sonosensitizers triggered by ultrasound to achieve an effective non-invasive tumor treatment. However, the inadequate sonodynamic efficacy and low responsive activities of traditional inorganic sonosensitizers have hindered its practical application. Here, we rationally design a platinum-zinc oxide (PtZnO) sonosensitizer to significantly enhance the efficacy of SDT through its inherent bandgap structure and dual-nanozyme activities. The PtZnO possesses a narrow bandgap (2.89 eV) and an appropriate amount of oxygen defects, which promote the efficiency of electrons and holes separation and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under US irradiation. Simultaneously, the PtZnO exhibits both catalase-like and peroxidase-like activities, which effectively catalyze endogenous H2O2 into a large number of O2 and toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thus achieving an efficient enhancement of SDT and catalytic therapy. Moreover, the PtZnO has significant glutathione consumption performance, further amplifying the oxidative stress. Ultimately, the PtZnO achieves a triple ROS amplification effect, with the yields of singlet oxygen (1O2) and •OH reaching 859.1 % and 614.4 %, respectively, inducing a highly effective sono-catalytic therapy with a remarkable tumor inhibition rate of 98.1 %. This study expands the application of ZnO semiconductor heterojunctions in the nanomedicine area, and the simple yet efficient design of the PtZnO provides a strategy for the development of sonosensitizers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A platinum-zinc oxide (PtZnO) heterojunction sonosensitizer is constructed with dual-nanozyme activities and achieves a triple ROS amplification effect, leading to an efficient synergistic sono-catalytic therapy. The PtZnO owns an inherent narrow bandgap and abundant oxygen defects, thus exhibiting an efficient sonosensitizer performance. It also possesses both catalase-like and peroxidase-like activities, which effectively catalyze the endogenous H2O2 into a large quantity of O2 and toxic hydroxyl radicals, thereby enhancing the SDT and catalytic therapy. Furthermore, its prominent glutathione consumption performance further amplifies oxidative stress. The yields of singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals reach up to 859.1 % and 614.4 %, respectively, inducing a highly effective sono-catalytic therapy with an impressive tumor inhibition rate of 98.1 %.

Abstract
Phototherapy including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) has gradually come into the limelight for oncological treatment due to its noninvasiveness, high specificity, and low side effects. However, upregulated heat-shock proteins (HSPs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-defensing system such as glutathione (GSH) or MutT homolog 1 (MTH1) protein in tumor microenvironment counteract the efficiency of single-modality therapy either PTT or PDT. Herein, the well-defined bismuth telluride nanoplates (Bi2 Te3 NPs) are engineered with a high-performance photo-thermo-electro-catalytic effect for tumor-synergistic treatment. Upon near-infrared light illumination, Bi2 Te3 NPs induce a significant temperature elevation for PTT, which effectively inhibits MTH1 expression. Especially, heating and cooling alteration caused temperature variations result in electron-hole separation for ROS generation, which not only damages HSPs to reduce the thermotolerance for enhance PTT, but also arouses tumor cell pyroptosis. Additionally, Bi2 Te3 NPs conspicuously reduce GSH, further improving ROS level and leading to decrease glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity, which triggers tumor cell ferroptosis. Due to the photo-thermo-electro-catalytic synergistic therapy, Bi2 Te3 NPs are gifted with impressive tumor suppression on both ectopic and orthotopic ocular tumor models. This work highlights a high-performance multifunctional energy-conversion nanoplatform for reshaping tumor microenvironment to boost the tumor-therapeutic efficacy of phototherapy.

Abstract
The exogenous excitation requirement and electron-hole recombination are the key elements limiting the application of catalytic therapies. Here a tumor microenvironment (TME)-specific self-triggered thermoelectric nanoheterojunction (Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3/CaO2 nanosheets, BST/CaO2 NSs) with self-built-in electric field facilitated charge separation is fabricated. Upon exposure to TME, the CaO2 coating undergoes rapid hydrolysis, releasing Ca2+, H2O2, and heat. The resulting temperature difference on the BST NSs initiates a thermoelectric effect, driving reactive oxygen species production. H2O2 not only serves as a substrate supplement for ROS generation but also dysregulates Ca2+ channels, preventing Ca2+ efflux. This further exacerbates calcium overload-mediated therapy. Additionally, Ca2+ promotes DC maturation and tumor antigen presentation, facilitating immunotherapy. It is worth noting that the CaO2 NP coating hydrolyzes very slowly in normal cells, releasing Ca2+ and O2 without causing any adverse effects. Tumor-specific self-triggered thermoelectric nanoheterojunction combined catalytic therapy, ion interference therapy, and immunotherapy exhibit excellent antitumor performance in female mice.

Abstract
The built-in electric field of heterojunction can effectively promote carrier separation and transfer. While, its interface orientation is often random, leading to lattice mismatch and high resistance, thus limiting the efficiency of interfacial charge transfer. Herein, the lattice-matched heterojunction (CdS-Ag2S) was constructed by ion-exchange epitaxial growth. The results of surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPV), transient photovoltage spectroscopy (TPV), and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) show that the lattice-matched heterojunction has higher charge separation efficiency and longer photogenerated carrier lifetime than that of lattice-mismatched one. The lattice-matched CdS-Ag2S has a high built-in electric field (BIEF) value of 103.42 and a bulk-charge separation (BCS) efficiency of 68.71%, which is about three times higher than that of the lattice-mismatched heterojunction (CdS-Ag2S-M). In addition, the photodegradation efficiency of CdS-Ag2S towards norfloxacin (NOR) was also 3.4 times higher than that of CdS-Ag2S-M. The above results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that improving the lattice matching at the heterojunction is beneficial for establishing a high-intensity built-in electric field and effectively promoting bulk-charge separation efficiency, thus achieving excellent photocatalytic performance. This work provides an essential reference for the research of high-performance heterojunction photocatalysts.

Abstract
Cancer phototheranostics have the potential for significantly improving the therapeutic effectiveness, as it can accurately diagnose and treat cancer. However, the current phototheranostic platforms leave much to be desired and are often limited by tumor hypoxia. Herein, a Schottky junction nanozyme has been established between a manganese-bridged cobalt-phthalocyanines complex and Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets (CoPc-Mn/Ti3C2Tx), which can serve as an integrative type I and II photosensitizer for enhancing cancer therapeutic efficacy via a photoacoustic imaging-guided multimodal chemodynamic/photothermal/photodynamic therapy strategy under near-infrared (808 nm) light irradiation. The Schottky junction not only possessed a narrow-bandgap, enhanced electron-hole separation ability and exhibited a potent redox potential but also enabled improved H2O2 and O2 supplying performances in vitro. Accordingly, the AS1411 aptamer-immobilized CoPc-Mn/Ti3C2Tx nanozyme illustrated high accuracy and excellent anticancer efficiency through a multimodal therapy strategy in in vitro and in vivo experiments. This work presents a valuable method for designing and constructing a multifunctional nanocatalytic medicine platform for synergistic cancer therapy of solid tumors.

Abstract
Piezo-electrocatalysis as an emerging mechano-to-chemistry energy conversion technique opens multiple innovative opportunities and draws great interest over the past decade. However, the two potential mechanisms in piezo-electrocatalysis, i.e., screening charge effect and energy band theory, generally coexist in the most piezoelectrics, making the essential mechanism remain controversial. Here, for the first time, the two mechanisms in piezo-electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (PECRR) is distinguished through a narrow-bandgap piezo-electrocatalyst strategy using MoS2 nanoflakes as demo. With conduction band of -0.12 eV, the MoS2 nanoflakes are unsatisfied for CO2 -to-CO redox potential of -0.53 eV, yet they achieve an ultrahigh CO yield of ≈543.1 µmol g-1 h-1 in PECRR. Potential band position shifts under vibration are still unsatisfied with CO2 -to-CO potential verified by theoretical investigation and piezo-photocatalytic experiment, further indicating that the mechanism of piezo-electrocatalysis is independent of band position. Besides, MoS2 nanoflakes exhibit unexpected intense "breathing" effect under vibration and enable the naked-eye-visible inhalation of CO2 gas, independently achieving the complete carbon cycle chain from CO2 capture to conversion. The CO2 inhalation and conversion processes in PECRR are revealed by a self-designed in situ reaction cell. This work brings new insights into the essential mechanism and surface reaction evolution of piezo-electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive catalytic therapy based on nano-catalysts has attracted much attention in the field of biomedicine for tumor therapy, due to its excellent and unique properties. However, the complex tumor microenvironment conditions and the rapid charge recombination in the catalyst limit catalytic therapy's effectiveness and further development. Effective heterojunction nanomaterials are constructed to address these problems to improve catalytic performance. Specifically, on the one hand, the band gap of the material is adjusted through the heterojunction structure to promote the charge separation efficiency under exogenous stimulation and further improve the catalytic capacity. On the other hand, the construction of a heterojunction structure can not only preserve the function of the original catalyst but also achieve significantly enhanced synergistic therapy ability. This review summarized the construction and functions of stimuli-responsive heterojunction nanomaterials under the excitation of X-rays, visible-near infrared light, and ultrasound in recent years, and further introduces their application in cancer therapy. Hopefully, the summary of stimuli-responsive heterojunction nanomaterials' applications will help researchers promote the development of nanomaterials in cancer therapy.

Abstract
This study reports an ultrasound-mediated and two-dimensional (2D) porous vermiculite nanosheets (VMT NSs)-based nanocatalyst platform (Arg@VMT@PDA-PEG) that synergistically harnessed the Fenton reaction-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT), 2D semiconductor-based sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and nitric oxide (NO)-based gas therapy for combination cancer therapy. The tumor microenvironment responsive degradation of polydopamine (PDA) shell could not only prevent L-Arg, a NO donor, leakage during blood circulation, but also selectively release the active sites of VMT NSs for catalytic reactions in tumor cells. Additionally, the Fenton reactions mediated by the abundant Fe2+/Fe3+ in VMT NSs could efficiently produce ·OH and consume glutathione (GSH) for CDT. Moreover, the reactive oxygen species (ROS, ·OH and ·O2-) produced by ultrasound-triggered Arg@VMT@PDA-PEG could not only execute SDT but also oxidize L-Arg to NO for synergetic gas therapy. The results show that the transformation of ROS to NO can enhance curative efficacy owing to the ability of NO with much longer life-time in freely diffusing into cells from intercellular space. This biodegradable Arg@VMT@PDA-PEG nanocatalytic platform integrating three different catalytic reactions provides a new therapeutic paradigm for combination cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photosensitizer-based therapy often suffers from unitary and easily attenuated photosensitive effects, limited tumor penetration and retention, and requirement of multiple irradiation for combination therapy, which largely restrict its application. Here, bacteria are integrated with a monochromatic irradiation-mediated ternary combination of photosensitizers for photoacoustic imaging-guided synergistic photothermal therapy. Bacteria that are bioengineered to express natural melanin are decorated with dual synthetic photosensitizers by nanodeposition with indocyanine green and polydopamine under a cytocompatible condition. The combined photosensitizers, which share an adequate excitation at 808 nm, endow integrated bacteria with a stable triple photoacoustic and photothermal effect under a monochromatic irradiation. Due to their living characteristics, these bacteria preferentially colonize hypoxic tumor tissue with homogeneous distribution and durable retention and generate uniform imaging signals and a sufficient heating of tumor upon laser irradiation. Supported by significantly inhibited tumor growth and extended survival of animals in different tumor-bearing murine models, our work proposes the development of bacteria-based innovative photosensitizers for imaging-guided therapy.

A Molybdenum Disulfide Nanozyme with Charge-Enhanced Activity for Ultrasound-Mediated Cascade-Catalytic Tumor Ferroptosis. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202217448. [PMID: 36585377 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202217448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
The deficient catalytic activity of nanozymes and insufficient endogenous H2 O2 in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are major obstacles for nanozyme-mediated catalytic tumor therapy. Since electron transfer is the basic essence of catalysis-mediated redox reactions, we explored the contributing factors of enzymatic activity based on positive and negative charges, which are experimentally and theoretically demonstrated to enhance the peroxidase (POD)-like activity of a MoS2 nanozyme. Hence, an acidic tumor microenvironment-responsive and ultrasound-mediated cascade nanocatalyst (BTO/MoS2 @CA) is presented that is made from few-layer MoS2 nanosheets grown on the surface of piezoelectric tetragonal barium titanate (T-BTO) and modified with pH-responsive cinnamaldehyde (CA). The integration of pH-responsive CA-mediated H2 O2 self-supply, ultrasound-mediated charge-enhanced enzymatic activity, and glutathione (GSH) depletion enables out-of-balance redox homeostasis, leading to effective tumor ferroptosis with minimal side effects.

Acta Biomater 2023; 164:511-521. [PMID: 37004782 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.03.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a non-invasive and spatiotemporally controllable modality, exhibits great potential in cancer treatment. However, the efficiency of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was restricted to the hydrophobic characteristics and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) of photosensitizers. Herein, we designed a ROS self-activatable nano system (denoted as PTKPa) based on poly(thioketal) conjugated with photosensitizers (PSs) pheophorbide A (Ppa) on the polymer side chains for suppressing ACQ and enhancing PDT. The process of self-activation is that ROS, which is derived from laser irradiated PTKPa, as an activating agent accelerates poly(thioketal) cleavage with the release of Ppa from PTKPa. This in turn generates abundant ROS, accelerates degradation of the remaining PTKPa and amplifies the efficacy of PDT with more tremendous ROS generated. Moreover, these abundant ROS can amplify PDT-induced oxidative stress, cause irreversible damage to tumor cells and achieve immunogenic cell death (ICD), thereby boosting the efficacy of photodynamic-immunotherapy. These findings provide new insights into ROS self-activatable strategy for enhancing cancer photodynamic- immunotherapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This work described an approach to utilize ROS-responsive self-activatable poly(thioketal) conjugated with pheophorbide A (Ppa) for suppressing aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and enhancing photodynamic-immunotherapy. The ROS, generated from the conjugated Ppa upon 660nm laser irradiation, as a triggering agent which initiates the release of Ppa with poly(thioketal) degradation. That in turn generates abundant ROS and facilitates degradation of the remaining PTKPa, resulting in oxidative stress to tumor cells and achieving immunogenic cell death (ICD). This work provides a promising solution to improve tumor photodynamic therapeutic effects.

Abstract
As an indispensable strategy for tumor treatment, surgery may cause two major challenges: tumor recurrence and wound infection. Here, a thermoelectric therapeutic strategy is provided as either an independent cancer therapy or surgical adjuvant treatment. Bi0.5 Sb1.5 Te3 (BST) and Bi2 Te2.8 Se0.2 (BTS) nanoplates composed of Z-scheme thermoelectric heterojunction (BST/BTS) are fabricated via a two-step hydrothermal processes. The contact between BST and BTS constructs an interfacial electric field due to Fermi energy level rearrangement, guiding electrons in the conductive band (CB) of BTS combine with the holes in the valance band (VB) of BST, leaving stronger reduction/oxidation potentials of electrons and holes in the CB of BST and the VB of BTS. Moreover, under a mild temperature gradient, another self-built-in electric field is formed facilitating the migration of electrons and holes to their surfaces. Based on the PEGylated BST/BTS heterojunction, a novel thermoelectric therapy platform is developed through intravenous injection of BST/BTS and external cooling of the tumors. This thermoelectric strategy is also proved effective for combination cancer therapy with β-elemene. Moreover, the combination of heterojunction and hydrogel is administrated on the wound after surgery, achieving efficient residual tumor treatment and antibacterial effects.

Abstract
Increasing O2 demand and excessive ROS production are the main features of arthritic microenvironment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) joints and further play pivotal roles in inflammation exacerbation. In this work, a system of in situ regulation of arthritic microenvironment based on nanomotor strategy is proposed for active RA therapy. The synthesized MnO2 -motors enable catalytic regulation of RA microenvironment by consuming the overproduced H2 O2 and generating O2 synergistically. The generated O2 under H2 O2 -rich conditions functions as inflammation detector, propellant for enhanced diffusion, as well as ameliorator for the hypoxic synovial microenvironment. Owing to O2 generation and inflammation scavenging, the MnO2 -motors block the re-polarization of pro-inflammatory macrophages, which results in significantly decreased secretion of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, intra-articular administration of MnO2 -motors to collagen-induced arthritis rats (CIA rats) effectively alleviates hypoxia, synovial inflammation, bone erosion, and cartilage degradation in joints. Therefore, the proposed arthritic regulation strategy shows great potential to seamlessly integrate basic research of RA with clinical translation.

Abstract
As the emerging modalities for tumor therapy, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), typically inducing tumor cell apoptosis. However, the construction of more efficient sonosensitizers integrated with excellent Fenton/Fenton-like catalytic activity to improve the synergistic therapeutic effect of SDT and CDT is still highly challenging. In this study, 2D semiconductor FePS3 nanosheets (NSs), as one of the metal phosphorus trichalcogenides for both sonosensitizer and Fenton catalyst, are successfully synthesized via an ultrasonic-assisted liquid phase exfoliation method from bulk FePS3 and further modified with lipoic acid-polyethylene glycol (LA-PEG) to obtain FePS3 -PEG NSs with desirable biocompatibility. The in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the engineered FePS3 -PEG NSs induce the combinatorial SDT/CDT effect attributing to the enhanced ROS generation and significant glutathione depletion, which can conduct highly efficient and safe tumor inhibition and prolong the life span of tumor-bearing mice. This work provides the paradigm of semiconductor FePS3 NSs as the integrative sonosensitizer/Fenton nanocatalyst for dual nanodynamic tumor therapy, paving the new way for exploring other 2D metal phosphorus trichalcogenides in biomedicine.

Abstract
Cancer therapies based on energy conversion, such as photothermal therapy (PTT, light-to-thermal energy conversion) and photodynamic therapy (PDT, light-to-chemical energy conversion) have attracted extensive attention in preclinical research. However, the PTT-related hyperthermia damage to surrounding tissues and shallow penetration of PDT-applied light prevent further advanced clinical practices. Here, we developed a thermoelectric therapy (TET) based on thermoelectric materials constructed p-n heterojunction (SrTiO3/Cu2Se nanoplates) on the principle of light-thermal-electricity-chemical energy conversion. Upon irradiation and natural cooling-induced the temperature gradient (35-45 oC), a self-build-in electric field was constructed and thereby facilitated charges separation in bulk SrTiO3 and Cu2Se. Importantly, the contact between SrTiO3 (n type) and Cu2Se (p type) constructed another interfacial electric field, further guiding the separated charges to re-locate onto the surfaces of SrTiO3 and Cu2Se. The formation of two electric fields minimized probability of charges recombination. Of note, high-performance superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicals' generation from O2 and H2O under catalyzation by separated electrons and holes, led to intracellular ROS burst and cancer cells apoptosis without apparent damage to surrounding tissues. Construction of bulk and interfacial electric fields in heterojunction for improving charges separation and transfer is also expected to provide a robust strategy for diverse applications.
