Abstract
18F-Fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO) is a highly promising positron emission tomography radiopharmaceutical for identifying hypoxic regions in solid tumors. This research employs spatiotemporal multi-scale mathematical modeling to explore how different levels of angiogenesis influence the transport of radiopharmaceuticals within tumors. In this study, two tumor geometries with heterogeneous and uniform distributions of capillary networks were employed to incorporate varying degrees of microvascular density. The synthetic image of the heterogeneous and vascularized tumor was generated by simulating the angiogenesis process. The proposed multi-scale spatiotemporal model accounts for intricate physiological and biochemical factors within the tumor microenvironment, such as the transvascular transport of the radiopharmaceutical agent, its movement into the interstitial space by diffusion and convection mechanisms, and ultimately its uptake by tumor cells. Results showed that both quantitative and semi-quantitative metrics of18F-FMISO uptake differ spatially and temporally at different stages during tumor growth. The presence of a high microvascular density in uniformly vascularized tumor increases cellular uptake, as it allows for more efficient release and rapid distribution of radiopharmaceutical molecules. This results in enhanced uptake compared to the heterogeneous vascularized tumor. In both heterogeneous and uniform distribution of microvessels in tumors, the diffusion transport mechanism has a more pronounced than convection. The findings of this study shed light on the transport phenomena behind18F-FMISO radiopharmaceutical distribution and its delivery in the tumor microenvironment, aiding oncologists in their routine decision-making processes.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received extensive attention in tumor therapy because of their advantages, including large specific surface area, regular pore size, adjustable shape, and facile functionalization. MOFs are porous materials formed by the coordination bonding of metal clusters and organic ligands. This review summarized the most recent advancements in tumor treatment based on nMOFs. First, we discuss the classification of MOFs, which primarily include the series of isoreticular MOF (IRMOF), zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), coordination pillared-layer (CPL), Materials of Institute Lavoisier (MIL), porous coordination network (PCN), University of Oslo (UiO) and Biological metal-organic frameworks (BioMOFs). Then, we discuss the use of nMOFs in antitumor therapy, including drug delivery strategies, photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and combination therapy. Finally, the obstacles and opportunities in nMOFs are discussed.

Abstract
Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) based on the generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) has drawn great attention in tumor treatment. However, the hypoxia tumor microenvironment (TME) inhibits the generation efficacy of ROS, and the high glutathione (GSH) level in TME could neutralize the generated ROS, both of which strongly reduce the therapeutic efficiency of PDT. In this work, we first constructed the porphyrinic metal-organic framework PCN-224. Then Au nanoparticles were decorated on the PCN-224 to obtain the PCN-224@Au. The decorated Au nanoparticles could not only produce O2 through the decomposition of H2O2 in tumor sites for enhancing the generation of 1O2 in PDT but also deplete glutathione through the strong interactions between Au and sulfhydryl groups on glutathione to weaken the antioxidant ability of tumor cells, thus amplifying the 1O2 damage to cancer cells. The in vitro and in vivo experiments totally exhibited that the as-prepared PCN-224@Au nanoreactor can be used as an oxidative stress amplifier for enhanced PDT, which provides a promising candidate to conquer the limitation of intratumor hypoxia and high GSH level on PDT of cancer.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a new generation of enzyme mimics, have recently attracted great attention. Nanozymes could catalyze chemical reactions as biological enzymes under physiologically mild conditions with higher-efficiency catalytic activities. Moreover, nanozymes could overcome the shortcomings of natural enzymes, such as easy inactivation, high cost, and low yield. With the development of more and more smart and multi-functional nanosystems, nanozymes display great achievement in tumor biology. In this review, we outline the recent advances of nanozymes in tumor and tumor microenvironment diagnosis, therapy, and theranostics.

Abstract
Tumor hypoxia is a major factor responsible for tumor progression, metastasis, invasion, and treatment resistance, leading to low local tumor control and recurrence after radiotherapy in cancers. Here,18F-positron emission tomography (PET) probes are developed for visualizing viable hypoxic cells in biopsies. Pimonidazole derivatives and nitroimidazole-based agents bearing sulfonyl linkers were evaluated. A small-animal PET study showed that the tumor uptake of [18F]-23 [poly(ethylene glycols) (PEG)-sulfonyl linker] of 3.36 ± 0.29%ID/g was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than that of [18F]-20 (piperazine-linker tracer, 2.55 ± 0.49%ID/g) at 2 h postinjection in UPPL tumors. The tumor-to-muscle uptake ratio of [18F]-23 (2.46 ± 0.48 at 2 h pi) was well improved compared with that of [18F]-FMISO (1.25 ± 0.14 at 2 h pi). A comparable distribution pattern was observed between ex vivo autoradiography of [18F]-23 and pimonidazole staining of the neighboring slice, indicating that [18F]-23 is a promising PET agent for hypoxia imaging.

Assessment of tumor hypoxia and perfusion in recurrent glioblastoma following bevacizumab failure using MRI and 18F-FMISO PET. Sci Rep 2021; 11:7632. [PMID: 33828310 PMCID: PMC8027395 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-84331-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2020] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Tumoral hypoxia correlates with worse outcomes in glioblastoma (GBM). While bevacizumab is routinely used to treat recurrent GBM, it may exacerbate hypoxia. Evofosfamide is a hypoxia-targeting prodrug being tested for recurrent GBM. To characterize resistance to bevacizumab and identify those with recurrent GBM who may benefit from evofosfamide, we ascertained MRI features and hypoxia in patients with GBM progression receiving both agents. Thirty-three patients with recurrent GBM refractory to bevacizumab were enrolled. Patients underwent MR and 18F-FMISO PET imaging at baseline and 28 days. Tumor volumes were determined, MRI and 18F-FMISO PET-derived parameters calculated, and Spearman correlations between parameters assessed. Progression-free survival decreased significantly with hypoxic volume [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14 to 2.46, P = 0.009] and increased significantly with time to the maximum value of the residue (Tmax) (HR = 0.54, 95% CI 0.34 to 0.88, P = 0.01). Overall survival decreased significantly with hypoxic volume (HR = 1.71, 95% CI 1.12 to 12.61, p = 0.01), standardized relative cerebral blood volume (srCBV) (HR = 1.61, 95% CI 1.09 to 2.38, p = 0.02), and increased significantly with Tmax (HR = 0.31, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.62, p < 0.001). Decreases in hypoxic volume correlated with longer overall and progression-free survival, and increases correlated with shorter overall and progression-free survival. Hypoxic volume and volume ratio were positively correlated (rs = 0.77, P < 0.0001), as were hypoxia volume and T1 enhancing tumor volume (rs = 0.75, P < 0.0001). Hypoxia is a key biomarker in patients with bevacizumab-refractory GBM. Hypoxia and srCBV were inversely correlated with patient outcomes. These radiographic features may be useful in evaluating treatment and guiding treatment considerations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a kind of aggressive breast cancer with a high rate of metastasis, poor overall survival time, and a low response to targeted therapies. To improve the therapeutic efficacy and overcome the drug resistance of TNBC treatments, here we developed the cancer cell membrane-coated oxygen delivery nanoprobe, CCm-HSA-ICG-PFTBA, which can improve the hypoxia at tumor sites and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the photodynamic therapy (PDT), resulting in relieving the tumor growth in TNBC xenografts. RESULTS The size of the CCm-HSA-ICG-PFTBA was 131.3 ± 1.08 nm. The in vitro 1O2 and ROS concentrations of the CCm-HSA-ICG-PFTBA group were both significantly higher than those of the other groups (P < 0.001). In vivo fluorescence imaging revealed that the best time window was at 24 h post-injection of the CCm-HSA-ICG-PFTBA. Both in vivo 18F-FMISO PET imaging and ex vivo immunofluorescence staining results exhibited that the tumor hypoxia was significantly improved at 24 h post-injection of the CCm-HSA-ICG-PFTBA. For in vivo PDT treatment, the tumor volume and weight of the CCm-HSA-ICG-PFTBA with NIR group were both the smallest among all the groups and significantly decreased compared to the untreated group (P < 0.01). No obvious biotoxicity was observed by the injection of CCm-HSA-ICG-PFTBA till 14 days. CONCLUSIONS By using the high oxygen solubility of perfluorocarbon (PFC) and the homologous targeting ability of cancer cell membranes, CCm-HSA-ICG-PFTBA can target tumor tissues, mitigate the hypoxia of the tumor microenvironment, and enhance the PDT efficacy in TNBC xenografts. Furthermore, the HSA, ICG, and PFC are all FDA-approved materials, which render the nanoparticles highly biocompatible and enhance the potential for clinical translation in the treatment of TNBC patients.

Abstract
Over the last few years, cancer immunotherapy experienced tremendous developments and it is nowadays considered a promising strategy against many types of cancer. However, the exclusion of lymphocytes from the tumor nest is a common phenomenon that limits the efficiency of immunotherapy in solid tumors. Despite several mechanisms proposed during the years to explain the immune excluded phenotype, at present, there is no integrated understanding about the role played by different models of immune exclusion in human cancers. Hypoxia is a hallmark of most solid tumors and, being a multifaceted and complex condition, shapes in a unique way the tumor microenvironment, affecting gene transcription and chromatin remodeling. In this review, we speculate about an upstream role for hypoxia as a common biological determinant of immune exclusion in solid tumors. We also discuss the current state of ex vivo and in vivo imaging of hypoxic determinants in relation to T cell distribution that could mechanisms of immune exclusion and discover functional-morphological tumor features that could support clinical monitoring.

Abstract
18F-fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) positron emission tomography (PET) is a widely used noninvasive imaging modality for assessing hypoxia. We describe the first spatial comparison of FMISO PET with an ex vivo reference standard for hypoxia across whole tumor volumes. Eighteen rats were orthotopically implanted with C6 or 9L brain tumors and made to undergo FMISO PET scanning. Whole brains were excised, sliced into 1-mm-thick sections, optically cleared, and fluorescently imaged for pimonidazole using an in vivo imaging system. FMISO maximum tumor uptake, maximum tumor-to-cerebellar uptake (TCmax), and hypoxic fraction (extracted 110 minutes after FMISO injection) were correlated with analogous metrics derived from pimonidazole fluorescence images. FMISO SUVmax was not significantly different between C6 and 9L brain tumors (P = .70), whereas FMISO TCmax and hypoxic fraction were significantly greater for C6 tumors (P < .01). FMISO TCmax was significantly correlated with the maximum tumor pimonidazole intensity (ρ = 0.76, P < .01), whereas FMISO SUVmax was not. FMISO tumor hypoxic fraction was significantly correlated with the pimonidazole-derived hypoxic fraction (ρ = 0.78, P < .01). Given that FMISO TCmax and tumor hypoxic fraction had strong correlations with the pimonidazole reference standard, these metrics may offer more reliable measures of tumor hypoxia than conventional PET uptake metrics (SUVmax). The voxel-wise correlation between FMISO uptake and pimonidazole intensity for a given tumor was strongly dependent on the tumor's TCmax (ρ = 0.81, P < .01) and hypoxic fraction (ρ = 0.85, P < .01), indicating PET measurements within individual voxels showed greater correlation with pimonidazole reference standard in tumors with greater hypoxia.

Abstract
Hypoxia, a salient feature of most solid tumors, confers invasiveness and resistance to the tumor cells. Oxygen-consumption photodynamic therapy (PDT) suffers from the undesirable impediment of local hypoxia in tumors. Moreover, PDT could further worsen hypoxia. Therefore, developing effective strategies for manipulating hypoxia and improving the effectiveness of PDT has been a focus on antitumor treatment. In this review, the mechanism and relationship of tumor hypoxia and PDT are discussed. Moreover, we highlight recent trends in the field of nanomedicines to modulate hypoxia for enhancing PDT, such as oxygen supply systems, down-regulation of oxygen consumption and hypoxia utilization. Finally, the opportunities and challenges are put forward to facilitate the development and clinical transformation of PDT.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is an irreplaceable therapeutic cancer target, where anti-angiogenesis are drugs that are limited by their hydrophobicity and low therapeutic effects. What is more, the long-term shutdown of tumor blood vessel density also aggravates hypoxia and causes immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME). In order to solve these shortcomings, we developed a single therapeutic agent based on a bovine serum albumin nanocarrier that can co-deliver the anti-angiogenic drug Sorafenib ("S") and the photosensitizer Ce6 ("C") along with a molecular oxygen supply based on MnO2 ("M") as a convenient one-pot formulated nanoscale agent (SCM@BSA). Compared with anti-angiogenesis monotherapy, SCM@BSA can not only improve upon the solubility and therapeutic effects of anti-angiogenesis agents, but it also reshapes the immunosuppressive TME during anti-angiogenic therapy. Together, these results point out that SCM@BSA synthesized via a very simple method can solve the shortcomings usually experienced during long-term anti-angiogenic therapy.

Toward noninvasive quantification of adipose tissue oxygenation with MRI. Int J Obes (Lond) 2020; 44:1776-1783.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molecular oxygen (O2) plays a key role in normal and pathological adipose tissue function, yet technologies to measure its role in adipose tissue function are limited. O2 is paramagnetic and, in principle, directly influences the magnetic resonance (MR) 1H longitudinal relaxation rate constant of lipids, R1; thus, we hypothesize that MR imaging (MRI) can directly measure adipose O2 via a simple measure of R1. METHODS R1 was measured in a 4.7T preclinical MRI system at discrete oxygen partial pressure (pO2) levels. These measures were made in vitro in an idealized system and in vivo in subcutaneous and visceral white adipose of rodents. pO2 was determined using an invasive fiber-optic oxygen monitor. From the MRI and fiber optic data we determined the "relaxivity" of O2 in lipid, a critical parameter in converting the MRI-based R1 measurement into pO2. We used breathing gas challenge to estimate the changes in lipid pO2 (ΔpO2). RESULTS The relaxivity of O2 in lipid was determined to be 1.7·10-3 ± 4·10-4 mmHg-1s-1 at 4.7T and 37 °C, and was consistent between in vitro and in vivo adipose tissue. There was a strong, significant correlation between MRI- and gold standard OxyLite-based measurements of lipid ΔpO2 for in vivo visceral and subcutaneous fat depots in rodents. CONCLUSION This study lays the foundation for a direct, noninvasive measure of adipose pO2 using MRI and will allow for noninvasive measurement of O2 flux in adipose tissue. The proposed approach would be of particular importance in the interrogation of the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, where it has been suggested that adipose tissue hypoxia is an independent driver of insulin resistance pathway.

Abstract
Three photodynamic therapy (PDT) protocols with 15 min, 3 h and 72 h drug-to-light time intervals (DLIs) were performed using a bacteriochlorin named redaporfin, as a photosensitizer. Blood flow and pO2 changes after applying these protocols were investigated in a Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) mouse model and correlated with long-term tumor responses. In addition, cellular uptake, cytotoxicity and photocytotoxicity of redaporfin in LLC cells were evaluated. Our in vitro tests revealed negligible cytotoxicity, significant cellular uptake, generation of singlet oxygen, superoxide ion and hydroxyl radicals in the cells and changes in the mechanism of cell death as a function of the light dose. Results of in vivo studies showed that treatment focused on vascular destruction (V-PDT) leads to a highly effective long-term antineoplastic response mediated by a strong deprivation of blood supply. Tumors in 67% of the LLC bearing mice treated with V-PDT regressed completely and did not reappear for over 1 year. This significant efficacy can be attributed to photosensitizer (PS) properties as well as distribution and accurate control of oxygen level and density of vessels before and after PDT. V-PDT has a greater potential for success than treatment based on longer DLIs as usually applied in clinical practice.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a most commonly used method to prepare various microcapsules based on the electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, covalent bonding, and so on. Among these interactions, Schiff base bond formed in covalent assembly not only has an advantage in stability, but also enables the assembled microcapsules with autofluorescence and pH sensitivity. In this Article, we will mainly describe the construction of biomimetic microcapsules through Schiff base mediated LbL assembly. The structures and properties of the assembled microcapsules are introduced and their applications as drug carriers are highlighted.

Elimination of tumor hypoxia by eribulin demonstrated by 18F-FMISO hypoxia imaging in human tumor xenograft models. EJNMMI Res 2019; 9:51. [PMID: 31161539 PMCID: PMC6546772 DOI: 10.1186/s13550-019-0521-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2019] [Accepted: 05/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Eribulin, an inhibitor of microtubule dynamics, shows antitumor potency against a variety of solid cancers through its antivascular activity and remodeling of tumor vasculature. 18F-Fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO) is the most widely used PET probe for imaging tumor hypoxia. In this study, we utilized 18F-FMISO to clarify the effects of eribulin on the tumor hypoxic condition in comparison with histological findings. MATERIAL AND METHODS Mice bearing a human cancer cell xenograft were intraperitoneally administered a single dose of eribulin (0.3 or 1.0 mg/kg) or saline. Three days after the treatment, mice were injected with 18F-FMISO and pimonidazole (hypoxia marker for immunohistochemistry), and intertumoral 18F-FMISO accumulation levels and histological characteristics were determined. PET/CT was performed pre- and post-treatment with eribulin (0.3 mg/kg, i.p.). RESULTS The 18F-FMISO accumulation levels and percent pimonidazole-positive hypoxic area were significantly lower, whereas the number of microvessels was higher in the tumors treated with eribulin. The PET/CT confirmed that 18F-FMISO distribution in the tumor was decreased after the eribulin treatment. CONCLUSIONS Using 18F-FMISO, we demonstrated the elimination of the tumor hypoxic condition by eribulin treatment, concomitantly with the increase in microvessel density. These findings indicate that PET imaging using 18F-FMISO may provide the possibility to detect the early treatment response in clinical patients undergoing eribulin treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the use and efficiency of 3-D deep learning, fully convolutional networks (DFCN) for simultaneous tumor cosegmentation on dual-modality nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) images. METHODS We used DFCN cosegmentation for NSCLC tumors in PET-CT images, considering both the CT and PET information. The proposed DFCN-based cosegmentation method consists of two coupled three-dimensional (3D)-UNets with an encoder-decoder architecture, which can communicate with the other in order to share complementary information between PET and CT. The weighted average sensitivity and positive predictive values denoted as Scores, dice similarity coefficients (DSCs), and the average symmetric surface distances were used to assess the performance of the proposed approach on 60 pairs of PET/CTs. A Simultaneous Truth and Performance Level Estimation Algorithm (STAPLE) of 3 expert physicians' delineations were used as a reference. The proposed DFCN framework was compared to 3 graph-based cosegmentation methods. RESULTS Strong agreement was observed when using the STAPLE references for the proposed DFCN cosegmentation on the PET-CT images. The average DSCs on CT and PET are 0.861 ± 0.037 and 0.828 ± 0.087, respectively, using DFCN, compared to 0.638 ± 0.165 and 0.643 ± 0.141, respectively, when using the graph-based cosegmentation method. The proposed DFCN cosegmentation using both PET and CT also outperforms the deep learning method using either PET or CT alone. CONCLUSIONS The proposed DFCN cosegmentation is able to outperform existing graph-based segmentation methods. The proposed DFCN cosegmentation shows promise for further integration with quantitative multimodality imaging tools in clinical trials.

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of oxygen consumption is beneficial to predict treatment responses and optimize therapeutic protocols for photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, we first demonstrate that deformable hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMONs) can be used to load [(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2 for detecting oxygen (denoted as HMON-[(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2). This nanoprobe shows significantly improved biocompatibility and high cellular uptake. In-vitro experiments demonstrate that the HMON-[(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2 can sensitively detect oxygen changes between 1% and 20%. On this basis, photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and [(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2 are simultaneously loaded in the HMONs (denoted as HMON-Ce6-[(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2) for real-time oxygen monitoring during photodynamic therapy. The HMON-Ce6-[(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2 can reflects oxygen consumption in solution and cells in photodynamic therapy. Furthermore, the ability of the HMON-Ce6-[(Ru(dpp)3)]Cl2 nanosensor to monitor oxygen changes is demonstrated in tumor-bearing nude mice.

Abstract
Despite great progress in photodynamic therapy (PDT), the therapeutic effect is still limited by some points, such as tumor hypoxia, the short lifetime and the limited action region of 1O2. Herein, a special kind of three-dimensional dendritic mesoporous silica nanosphere (3D-dendritic MSN) was synthesized and used as a robust nanocarrier to deliver abundant hydrophobic photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) to the A549 lung cancer cells. To address the tumor hypoxia issue, the nanozyme Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) were immobilized onto the channels of 3D-dendritic MSNs to catalyze the conversion of intracellular H2O2 to oxygen. Moreover, due to the in situ reduction process, the uniform Pt NPs distributed well on the surface of 3D-dendritic MSNs with high homogeneous dispersity. Additionally, a mitochondria-targeting ligand, triphenylphosphine (TPP), was conjugated to the Pt-decorated 3D-dendritic MSN composites to form a mitochondria targeted system for the PDT. In a combination of the peroxidase-like Pt NPs with mitochondria-targeting ability of TPP, a reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst in the mitochondria was achieved and resulted in the cell apoptosis. This well-designed system shows an enhanced PDT effect of killing A549 cells, and promotes a new H2O2-activatable strategy to overcome hypoxia for tumor PDT.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate hypoxia level at various tumor developmental stages and to compare various methods of hypoxia evaluation in pre-clinical CT26 tumor model. Using three methods of hypoxia determination, we evaluated hypoxia levels during CT26 tumor development in BALB/c mice from day 4 till day 19, in 2-3 days intervals. Molecular method was based on the analysis of selected genes expression related to hypoxia (HIF1A, ANGPTL4, TGFB1, VEGFA, ERBB3, CA9) or specific for inflammation in hypoxic sites (CCL2, CCL5) at various time points after CT26 cancer cells inoculation. Imaging methods of hypoxia evaluation included: positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging using [18F]fluoromisonidazole ([18F]FMISO) and a fluorescence microscope imaging of pimonidazole (PIMO)-positive tumor areas at various time points. Our results showed that tumor hypoxia at molecular level was relatively high at early stage of tumor development as reflected by initially high HIF1A and VEGFA expression levels and their subsequent decrease. However, imaging methods (both PET and fluorescence microscopy) showed that hypoxia increased till day 14 of tumor development. Additionally, necrotic regions dominated the tumor tissue at later stages of development, decreasing the number of hypoxic areas and completely eliminating normoxic regions (observed by PET). These results showed that molecular methods of hypoxia determination are more sensitive to show changes undergoing at cellular level, however in order to measure and visualize hypoxia in the whole organ, especially at later stages of tumor development, PET is the preferred tool. Furthermore we concluded, that during development of tumor, two peaks of hypoxia occur.

Abstract
Adding value to the intrinsic properties of quantum dots (QDs), a strategy to conjugate dyes on the surface of QDs offers new opportunities, since the coupling between QD and dyes can be designed to allow Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and/or electron transfer (eT). These processes are accompanied by the change of QD and/or dye fluorescence and subsequent photochemical reactions (e.g., generation of 1 O2 ). Based on the change of fluorescence signals by the interaction with biomolecules, QD-dye conjugates are exploited as biosensors for the detection of pH, O2 , nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate), ions, proteases, glutathione, and microRNA. QD-dye conjugates also can be modulated by the irradiation of external light; this concept is demonstrated for fluorescence super-resolution imaging as photoactivatable or photoswitchable probes. When QDs are conjugated with photosensitizing dyes, the QD-dye conjugates can generate 1 O2 in a repetitive manner for better cancer treatment, and can also be available for approaches using two-photon excitation or bioluminescence resonance energy transfer mechanisms for deep tissue imaging. Here, the recent advances in QD-dye conjugates, where FRET or eT produces fluorescence readouts or photochemical reactions, are reviewed. Various QD-dye conjugate systems and their biosensing/imaging and photodynamic therapeutics are summarized.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry provides a "bottom-up" method to fabricate nanostructures for biomedical applications. Herein, we report a facile strategy to directly assemble a phthalocyanine photosensitizer (PcS) with an anticancer drug mitoxantrone (MA) to form uniform nanostructures (PcS-MA), which not only display nanoscale optical properties but also have the capability of undergoing nucleic-acid-responsive disassembly. These supramolecular assemblies possess activatable fluorescence emission and singlet oxygen generation associated with the formation of free PcS, mild photothermal heating, and a concomitant chemotherapeutic effect associated with the formation of free MA. In vivo evaluations indicate that PcS-MA nanostructures have a high level of accumulation in tumor tissues, are capable of being used for cancer imaging, and have significantly improved anticancer effect compared to that of PcS. This study demonstrates an attractive strategy for overcoming the limitations of photodynamic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been used for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancers by integrating photosensitizers, which cause cytotoxic effects on cancer cells by converting tumor oxygen into reactive singlet oxygen (1O2). However, the PDT efficiency of MOFs is severely limited by tumor hypoxia. Herein, by decorating platinum nanozymes on photosensitizer integrated MOFs, we report a simple yet versatile strategy for enhanced PDT. The platinum nanoparticles homogeneously immobilized on MOFs possess high stability and catalase-like activity. Thus, our nanoplatform can facilitate the formation of 1O2 in hypoxic tumor site via H2O2-activated evolvement of O2, which can cause more serious damage to cancer cells. Our finding highlights that the composites of nanozymes and MOFs have the potential to serve as efficient agents for cancer therapy, which will open an avenue of nanozymes and MOFs toward biological applications.
