Aziz R, Abad S, Onaizi SA. Electrochemical conversion of CO 2 using metalorganic frameworks-based materials: A review on recent progresses and outlooks. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 365:143312. [PMID: 39265732 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2024] [Revised: 08/28/2024] [Accepted: 09/09/2024] [Indexed: 09/14/2024]
Abstract
Global warming has been mainly attributed to the excessive release of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. Several CO2 capture and conversion technologies have been developed in the past few decades with their own merits and limitations. Electrochemical conversion of CO2 is one of the most attractive techniques for combating CO2 emissions. However, the efficacy of the electrochemical reduction of CO2 hinges on the efficiency of the utilized materials (i.e., electrocatalysts). Metal organic frameworks (MOFs)-based materials have recently emerged as attractive tools for various applications, including the electrochemical conversion of CO2. Although there are some review articles on CO2 capture and conversion using different materials, reviews focusing specifically on the electrochemical conversion of CO2 using MOFs-based materials are still comparatively lacking. Additionally, the field of electrochemical conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals is currently gaining high momentum, requiring comprehensive and recent reviews, which would provide researchers/professionals with a quick and easy access to the recent developments in this rapidly evolving research area. Accordingly, this article comprehensively reviews recent studies on the electrochemical conversion of CO2 using pristine/modified/functionalized MOFs as well as composite materials containing MOFs. Additionally, single atom catalysts (SACs) derived from MOFs and their applications for the electrochemical conversion of CO2 has also been reviewed. Furthermore, obstacles, challenges, limitations, and remaining research gaps have been identified, and future works to tackle them have been highlighted. Overall, this review article provides valuable discussion and insights into the recent advancements in the field of electrochemical conversion of CO2 into chemicals using MOFs-based materials.

A structured biomimetic nanoparticle as inflammatory factor sponge and autophagy-regulatory agent against intervertebral disc degeneration and discogenic pain. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:486. [PMID: 39143545 PMCID: PMC11323362 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02715-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Lower back pain (LBP) is a common condition closely associated with intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), causing a significant socioeconomic burden. Inflammatory activation in degenerated discs involves pro-inflammatory cytokines, dysregulated regulatory cytokines, and increased levels of nerve growth factor (NGF), leading to further intervertebral disc destruction and pain sensitization. Macrophage polarization is closely related to autophagy. Based on these pathological features, a structured biomimetic nanoparticle coated with TrkA-overexpressing macrophage membranes (TMNP@SR) with a rapamycin-loaded mesoporous silica core is developed. TMNP@SR acted like sponges to adsorbe inflammatory cytokines and NGF and delivers the autophagy regulator rapamycin (RAPA) into macrophages through homologous targeting effects of the outer engineered cell membrane. By regulating autophagy activation, TMNP@SR promoted the M1-to-M2 switch of macrophages to avoid continuous activation of inflammation within the degenerated disc, which prevented the apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells. In addition, TMNP@SR relieved mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia, reduced calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) expression in the dorsal root ganglion, and downregulated GFAP and c-FOS signaling in the spinal cord in the rat IDD model. In summary, TMNP@SR spontaneously inhibits the aggravation of disc inflammation to alleviate disc degeneration and reduce the ingress of sensory nerves, presenting a promising treatment strategy for LBP induced by disc degeneration.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) offer precise control over drug release, enhancing therapeutic efficacy and minimizing side effects. This review focuses on DDSs that leverage the unique capabilities of phase change materials (PCMs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to achieve controlled drug release in response to pH and temperature changes. Specifically, this review highlights the use of a combination of lauric and stearic acids as PCMs that melt slightly above body temperature, providing a thermally responsive mechanism for drug release. Additionally, this review delves into the properties of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), a stable MOF under physiological conditions that decomposes in acidic environments, thus offering pH-sensitive drug release capabilities. The integration of these materials enables the fabrication of complex structures that encapsulate drugs within ZIF-8 or are enveloped by PCM layers, ensuring that drug release is tightly controlled by either temperature or pH levels, or both. This review provides comprehensive insights into the core design principles, material selections, and potential biomedical applications of dual-stimuli responsive DDSs, highlighting the future directions and challenges in this innovative field.

Abstract
A dual pH/temperature sensitive core-shell nanoformulation has been developed based on ZIF-8 coated with chitosan-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (CS-PNIPAAm) for co-delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) and carboplatin (CBP) in breast cancer cells. The resulting nanoparticles (NPs) had particle sizes around 200 nm and a zeta potential of about +30 mV. The CBP and DOX loading contents in the final NPs were 11.6 % and 55.54 %, respectively. NPs showed a pH and thermoresponsive drug release profile with a sustained prolonged release under physiological conditions. The in vitro cytotoxicity experiments showed a significant synergism of CBP and DOX to induce the IC50 of 1.96 μg/mL in MCF-7 cells and 4.54 μg/mL in MDA-MB-231 cells. Also, the final NPs were safer than free DOX and CBP on normal cells. The in vitro study confirmed the higher potency of the designed NPs in combination therapy against breast cancer cells with lower side effects than free drugs.

NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024; 397:1377-1404. [PMID: 37715816 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-023-02707-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/18/2023]
Abstract
ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework-8) is a potential drug delivery system because of its unique properties, which include a large surface area, a large pore capacity, a large loading capacity, and outstanding stability under physiological conditions. ZIF-8 nanoparticles may be readily functionalized with targeting ligands for the identification and absorption of particular cancer cells, enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapeutic medicines and reducing adverse effects. ZIF-8 is also pH-responsive, allowing medication release in the acidic milieu of cancer cells. Because of its tunable structure, it can be easily functionalized to design cancer-specific targeted medicines. The delivery of ZIF-8 to cancer cells can be facilitated by folic acid-conjugation. Hence, it can bind to overexpressed folate receptors on the surface of cancer cells, which holds the promise of reducing unwanted deliveries. As a result of its importance in cancer treatment, the folate-conjugated ZIF-8 was the major focus of this review.

Targeted Delivery of 5-Fluorouracil and Sonidegib via Surface-Modified ZIF-8 MOFs for Effective Basal Cell Carcinoma Therapy. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2594. [PMID: 38004573 PMCID: PMC10675485 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15112594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The therapeutic effectiveness of the most widely used anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is constrained by its high metabolism, short half-life, and rapid drug resistance after chemotherapy. Although various nanodrug delivery systems have been reported for skin cancer therapy, their retention, penetration and targeting are still a matter of concern. Hence, in the current study, a topical gel formulation that contains a metal-organic framework (zeolitic imidazole framework; ZIF-8) loaded with 5-FU and a surface modified with sonidegib (SDG; acting as a therapeutic agent as well as a targeting ligand) (5-FU@ZIF-8 MOFs) is developed against DMBA-UV-induced BCC skin cancer in rats. The MOFs were prepared using one-pot synthesis followed by post drug loading and SDG conjugation. The optimized MOFs were incorporated into hyaluronic acid-hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose gel and further subjected to characterization. Enhanced skin deposition of the 5-FU@ZIF-8-SDG MOFs was observed using ex vivo skin permeation studies. Confocal laser microscopy studies showed that 5-FU@ZIF-8-SDG MOFs permeated the skin via the transfollicular pathway. The 5-FU@ZIF-8-SDG MOFs showed stronger cell growth inhibition in A431 cells and good biocompatibility with HaCaT cells. Histopathological studies showed that the efficacy of the optimized MOF gels improved as the epithelial cells manifested modest hyperplasia, nuclear pleomorphism, and dyskeratosis. Additionally, immunohistochemistry and protein expression studies demonstrated the improved effectiveness of the 5-FU@ZIF-8-SDG MOFs, which displayed a considerable reduction in the expression of Bcl-2 protein. Overall, the developed MOF gels showed good potential for the targeted delivery of multifunctional MOFs in topical formulations for treating BCC cancer.

Abstract
It is well known that metal-organic framework (MOF) nanostructures have unique characteristics such as high porosity, large surface areas and adjustable functionalities, so they are ideal candidates for developing drug delivery systems (DDSs) as well as theranostic platforms in cancer treatment. Despite the large number of MOF nanostructures that have been discovered, conventional MOF-derived nanosystems only have a single biofunctional MOF source with poor colloidal stability. Accordingly, developing core-shell MOF nanostructures with good colloidal stability is a useful method for generating efficient drug delivery, multimodal imaging and synergistic therapeutic systems. The preparation of core-shell MOF nanostructures has been done with a variety of materials, but inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are highly effective for drug delivery and imaging-guided tumor treatment. Herein, we aimed to overview the synthesis of core-shell inorganic NP@MOF nanostructures followed by the application of core-shell MOFs derived from magnetic, quantum dots (QDs), gold (Au), and gadolinium (Gd) NPs in drug delivery and imaging-guided tumor treatment. Afterward, we surveyed different factors affecting prolonged drug delivery and cancer therapy, cellular uptake, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect of core-shell MOFs. Last but not least, we discussed the challenges and the prospects of the field. We envision this article may hold great promise in providing valuable insights regarding the application of hybrid nanostructures as promising and potential candidates for multimodal imaging-guided combination cancer therapy.

Abstract
Functionalization of thymol (Thy) on nanocarriers is a key step in achieving prolonged antimicrobial activity. This requires nanomaterials with uniform particle diameters and suitable thymol sorption. Herein, hollow carbon (HC) and SiO2-carbon core-shell (SiO2@C) were investigated due to their diverse morphologies and ease of surface modification. HC (14 ± 1 nm size) and SiO2@C (10 ± 1.5 nm size) were synthesized by the Stöber method before thymol was loaded by incipient wetness impregnation. Nanoparticle physicochemical properties were characterized by advanced techniques, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). Adsorption energies of thymol on the carbon and SiO2 surfaces were elucidated by density functional theory (DFT) simulations. Moreover, the in vitro thymol release profiles and antibacterial activity were evaluated. The experimental results indicated that the oxy-carbon surface species of HC led to longer thymol release profiles than the -OH group of SiO2@C. The DFT calculations revealed that the weaker physical interaction of thymol on HC was better for drug release than that on SiO2@C. Thus, a longer thymol release profile of HC with hollow structures showed better antibacterial performance against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus than that of SiO2@C with core-shell structures. This work confirms the important role of carbon morphology and specific functional groups in thymol release profiles for the further development of inhibition products.

Abstract
Nanozymes, which can be defined as nanomaterials with excellent catalytic function, are well known to the scientific community due to their distinct merits, such as low cost and high stability, which render them preferable to natural enzymes. As porous organic-inorganic coordination materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess a large number of active sites and thus can effectively mimic the properties of natural enzymes. Recently, MOF-based nanozymes have also exhibited good application potential for the analysis of heavy metal ions. In comparison to the traditional detection methods for heavy metal ions, nanozyme-based colorimetric sensing permits intuitive visual analysis by using relatively simple instruments, facilitating rapid and simple on-site screening. In this minireview, the preparation of MOF-based nanozymes and the different nanozyme activity types are briefly described, such as peroxidase-like and oxidase-like, and the relevant catalytic mechanisms are elaborated. Based on this, different response mechanisms of MOF-based colorimetric methods to heavy metal ions, such as turn-off, turn-on, and turn-off-on, are discussed. In addition, the colorimetric sensing applications of MOF-based nanozymes for the detection of heavy metal ions are summarized. Finally, the current research status of MOF-based nanozymes and the future development direction are discussed.

Highly-Controlled Soft-Templating Synthesis of Hollow ZIF-8 Nanospheres for Selective CO 2 Separation and Storage. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:31740-31754. [PMID: 37345663 PMCID: PMC10326808 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c06502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023]
Abstract
Global warming is an ever-rising environmental concern, and carbon dioxide (CO2) is among its major causes. Different technologies, including adsorption, cryogenic separation, and sequestration, have been developed for CO2 separation and storage/utilization. Among these, carbon capture using nano-adsorbents has the advantages of excellent CO2 separation and storage performance as well as superior heat- and mass-transfer characteristics due to their large surface area and pore volume. In this work, an environmentally friendly, facile, bottom-up synthesis of ZIF-8 hollow nanospheres (with reduced chemical consumption) was developed for selective CO2 separation and storage. During this soft-templating synthesis, a combined effect of ultra-sonication and low-temperature hydrothermal synthesis showed better control over an oil-in-water microemulsion formation and the subsequent growth of large-surface-area hollow ZIF-8 nanospheres having excellent particle size distribution. Systematic studies on the synthesis parameters were also performed to achieve fine-tuning of the ZIF-8 crystallinity, hollow structures, and sphere size. The optimized hollow ZIF-8 nanosphere sample having uniform size distribution exhibited remarkable CO2 adsorption capability (∼2.24 mmol g-1 at 0 °C and 1.75 bar), a CO2/N2 separation selectivity of 12.15, a good CO2 storage capacity (1.5-1.75 wt %), and an excellent cyclic adsorption/desorption performance (up to four CO2 adsorption/desorption cycles) at 25 °C. In addition, the samples showed exceptional structural stability with only ∼15% of overall weight loss up to 600 °C under a nitrogen environment. Therefore, the hollow ZIF-8 nanospheres as well as their highly controlled soft-templating synthesis method reported in this work are useful in the course of the development of nanomaterials with optimized properties for future CO2 capture technologies.

Abstract
The synthesis of biocompatible nanoporous zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was performed in the presence of gum arabic (GA), curcumin (CCM), and folic acid (FA) as a template for the biomineralization process, a natural anticancer component, and a targeting agent, respectively. The synthesis of ZIF-8-GA-CCM-FA was completed in a single step at room temperature in aqueous media with a minimum amount of ethanol at a linker/metal molar ratio of 10. FA was dissolved by the alkaline medium produced by a 2-methyl imidazolium (HmIm) linker without using any toxic organic solvent or additional conjugation agents. The FA-modified carrier can target the folate receptors on Hela cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report about the one-pot encapsulation of CCM and FA in a biocompatible ZIF-8-GA framework in a green solvent. This method enables high CCM loading in the ZIF-8-GA framework structure (ca. 90%) at a short time of 15 min. The effect of CCM concentration was investigated on the size, morphology, and crystallinity of the synthesized structures. The products were characterized with field emission scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, and UV-vis spectroscopy techniques. The release rate of CCM from ZIF-8-GA-CCM-FA was studied at different pH values. In vitro drug release of CCM was higher in the acidic medium (pH 5.5, 6.5) compared to physiological pH (7.4). The cytotoxicity of ZIF-8-GA, ZIF-8-GA-CCM, and ZIF-8-GA-CCM-FA structures was evaluated by the standard 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay on the three cell lines (fibroblast (normal cell), Hela (FR-positive), and A549 (FR-negative). These results suggested that the ZIF-8-GA-CCM-FA framework can have a promising effect on the targeted treatment of cancer cells.

High killing rate of nematode and promotion of rice growth by synthetic volatiles from Bacillus strains due to enhanced oxidative stress response. PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 2023; 175:e13868.

Abstract
The plant parasitic nematode Aphelenchoides besseyi is a major pest that poses serious threats to different vegetables and crop plants. In the present study, volatiles isolated from Bacillus spp. were utilized as green biocontrol agents to overcome nematodes. In in vitro experiment, Bacillus spp. GBSC56, SYST2, and FZB42 showed the strongest nematicidal activity with killing rates of 80.78%, 75.69%, and 60.45%, respectively, as compared with control. The selected synthetic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), namely albuterol, benzaldehyde (BDH), 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one (1,2-HIT), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), 2-undecanone (2-UD), and 1,3-propanediole (1,3-PD), exhibited strong nematicidal activity, with A. besseyi killing rate of 85.58%, 82.65%, 81.75%, 80.36%, 84.45%, and 82.36%, respectively, at 400 μg/mL. Microscopic analysis proved that the rapid mortality was due to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Molecular docking attributed this ROS production to the nematicidal effect of synthetic VOCs on NADH DEHYDROGENASE SUBUNIT 2, which is known to play a critical role in the suppression of ROS in nematode models. In a greenhouse experiment, the Bacillus strains GBSC56, SYST2, and FZB42 and their synthetic VOCs significantly improved the physiological parameters in terms of growth promotion traits. In addition, selected genes related to growth promotion and defense genes showed a significant upregulation of their expression in rice seedlings treated with those synthetic VOCs. Overall, these findings revealed that the selected Bacillus strains and their synthetic VOCs possess high potential against A. besseyi. Moreover, this study also sheds new light on the mechanisms by which specific Bacillus nematicidal VOCs influence important genes involved in rice plant growth promotion and could effectively be used to suppress plant parasitic nematodes.

Abstract
Metal-organic complexes are one of the most studied materials in the last few decades, which are fabricated from organic ligands and metal ions to form robust frameworks with porous structures. In this work, iron-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic-polyethylene glycol (Fe-BDC-PEG) with a porous structure was successfully constructed by an iron(III) benzene dicarboxylate and polyethylene glycol diacid. The drug-delivery properties of the resultant Fe-BDC-PEG were tested for the loading and release of the 5-fluorouracil compound. The maximal loading capacity of Fe-BDC-PEG for 5-fluorouracil was determined to be 348.22 mg/g. The drug release of 5-fluorouracil-loaded Fe-BDC-PEG after 7 days was 92.69% and reached a maximum of 97.52% after 10 days. The 7 day and acute oral toxicity of Fe-BDC-PEG in mice were studied. The results show that no reasonable change or mortality was observed upon administration of Fe-BDC-PEG complex in mice at 10 g/kg body weight. When the uptake of Fe-BDC-PEG particles in mice was continued for 7 consecutive days, the mortality, feed consumption, body weight, and daily activity were negligibly changed.

Abstract
Simple Summary The biomedical application of metal–organic frameworks in cancer theranostics has become a research hotspot with rapid progress. As a typical representative, ZIF–8 attracts increasing interest from researchers due to its good performance and potential. In this review, we updated recent discoveries on the ZIF–8–based nanoplatforms for cancer, discussed the problems in current research and the obstacles for clinical translation of ZIF–8, and also proposed an outlook on its future development. Abstract Cancer severely threatens human health and has remained the leading cause of disease–related death for decades. With the rapid advancement of nanomedicine, nanoscale metal–organic frameworks are believed to be potentially applied in the treatment and biomedical imaging for various tumors. Zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF)–8 attracts increasing attention due to its high porosity, large specific surface area, and pH–responsiveness. The designs and modifications of ZIF–8 nanoparticles, as well as the strategy of drug loading, demand a multifaceted and comprehensive understanding of nanomaterial features and tumor characteristics. We searched for studies on ZIF–8–based nanoplatforms in tumor theranostics on Web of Science from 2015 to 2022, mainly focused on the research published in the past 3 years, summarized the progress of their applications in tumor imaging and treatment, and discussed the favorable aspects of ZIF–8 nanoparticles for tumor theranostics as well as the future opportunities and potential challenges. As a kind of metal–organic framework material full of potential, ZIF–8 can be expected to be combined with more therapeutic systems in the future and continue to contribute to all aspects of tumor therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
Oral administration is a commonly used, safe, and patient-compliant method of drug delivery. However, due to the multiple absorption barriers in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), the oral bioavailability of many drugs is low, resulting in a limited range of applications for oral drug delivery. Nanodrug delivery systems have unique advantages in overcoming the multiple barriers to oral absorption and improving the oral bioavailability of encapsulated drugs. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are composed of metal ions and organic linkers assembled by coordination chemistry. Unlike other nanomaterials, nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nano-MOFs, NMOFs) are increasingly popular for drug delivery systems (DDSs) due to their tunable pore size and easily modified surfaces. This paper summarizes the literature on MOFs in pharmaceutics included in SCI for the past ten years. Then, the GIT structure and oral drug delivery systems are reviewed, and the advantages, challenges, and solution strategies possessed by oral drug delivery systems are discussed. Importantly, two major classes of MOFs suitable for oral drug delivery systems are summarized, and various representative MOFs as oral drug carriers are evaluated in the context of oral drug delivery systems. Finally, the challenges faced by DDSs in the development of MOFs, such as biostability, biosafety, and toxicity, are examined.

Abstract
Anaerobiosis has independently evolved in multiple lineages of ciliates, allowing them to colonize a variety of anoxic and oxygen-depleted habitats. Anaerobic ciliates commonly form symbiotic relationships with various prokaryotes, including methanogenic archaea and members of several bacterial groups. The hypothesized functions of these ecto- and endosymbionts include the symbiont utilizing the ciliate's fermentative end-products to increase host's anaerobic metabolic efficiency, or the symbiont directly providing the host with energy by denitrification or photosynthesis. The host, in turn, may protect the symbiont from competition, the environment, and predation. Despite rapid advances in sampling, molecular, and microscopy methods, as well as the associated broadening of the known diversity of anaerobic ciliates, many aspects of these ciliate symbioses, including host-specificity and co-evolution, remain largely unexplored. Nevertheless, with the number of comparative genomic and transcriptomic analyses targeting anaerobic ciliates and their symbionts on the rise, insights into the nature of these symbioses and the evolution of the ciliate transition to obligate anaerobiosis continue to deepen. This review summarizes the current body of knowledge regarding the complex nature of symbioses in anaerobic ciliates, the diversity of these symbionts, their role in the evolution of ciliate anaerobiosis and their significance in ecosystem-level processes.

Shaping ability of non-adaptive and adaptive core nickel-titanium single-file systems with supplementary file in ribbon-shaped canals analysed by micro-computed tomography. AUST ENDOD J 2022; 49:38-47. [PMID: 35255157 DOI: 10.1111/aej.12609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
This study compared shaping ability between two single-file systems and before/after using supplementary file in untouched area, volume of removed dentin, maximum cut depth (the highest cut depth by main file) and remaining thinnest dentin (the thinnest root dentin after preparation). Ribbon-shaped distal canals of mandibular molars were prepared with non-adaptive core (WaveOne Gold) or adaptive core (XP-endo Shaper) files (n = 15/group) and additionally prepared with a supplementary file (XP-endo Finisher), and the shaping ability was investigated using micro-computed tomography. XP-endo Shaper group demonstrated significantly less overall untouched area than WaveOne Gold group (38.21 ± 6.98% vs. 47.68 ± 9.16%) (p < 0.05). No significant difference was detected between XP-endo Shaper and WaveOne Gold groups in volume of removed dentin (1.85 ± 0.53 vs. 1.66 ± 0.33 mm3 ), maximum cut depth (0.10-0.28 vs. 0.10-0.29 mm) and remaining thinnest dentin (0.66-0.80 vs. 0.78-0.88 mm). Supplementary XP-endo Finisher treatment significantly decreased untouched area (11%-23% reduction) (p < 0.05) with minimally cut root dentin (0.01-0.02 mm).

Abstract
The intrinsic properties and structure of carrier materials, as well as the drug-loading method, are crucial to the fabrication of high-performance controlled drug release systems. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted great attention in drug delivery due to their rich variety and very precisely designable structures, but their inherent small pores limit their application towards large-size drug molecules. Herein, we report a facile and efficient approach for the construction of hierarchically porous ZIF-8 (HP-ZIF-8) by spray drying. The homogeneously distributed mesopores, which result from the interspaces in the closely arranged nanosized ZIF-8 (N-ZIF-8), can be tuned by adjusting the primary particle size. More importantly, a drug (doxorubicin (DOX), for example) can be simultaneously encapsulated during the fabrication process of HP-ZIF-8, achieving a high loading rate of 79% and an encapsulation efficiency of 79%. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the obtained DOX@HP-ZIF-8 is a pH-responsive system and the release can also be controlled by the mesopore size. Although HP-ZIF-8 shows obvious advantages in drug loading and release performance compared with N-ZIF-8 loaded with DOX by the same solvent adsorption approach, DOX@HP-ZIF-8 displays significantly increased loading capacity (more than 3 times) and the slowest release rate due to its drug-loading method. Their therapeutic efficacy on HeLa cells has also been proved. These findings have important implications for the construction of HP-MOFs as drug carriers and will also present a new platform for controlled drug release and biomedical applications.

Abstract
The immobilization of enzymes has received much attention. Metal-organic framework (MOF) as the adsorbent for enzyme encapsulation provides an effective strategy. However, the encapsulation efficacy is not dependent solely on the specific surface area. Though leading into appropriate substrate with negative charge would enhance the encapsulation efficacy. Polyoxometalates (POMs) as the electron sponge would donate electrons without any structural change. In this study, Keggin-type phosphotungstic acid (PW12) was encapsulated in Zirconium metal-organic framework (PW12@UiO-67) as a heterogeneous adsorbent for the encapsulation of enzyme. Our following data proved that this composite cluster could enhance the adsorption of enzyme and the stability of MP-11 was then significantly improved after immobilization.

Abstract
Designing high-efficiency heterojunction photocatalysts for water splitting is an intriguing prospect in energy conversion. Herein, we successfully fabricated a CdS/ZIF-8 heterojunction system through a facile wet-chemically method, in which ZIF-8 nanoparticles were in-situ adhered on hollow CdS nanotubes. Due to the well-matched band structure and intimate interface contact in CdS/ZIF-8 hybrid structure, the interfacial charge separation in the established system was tremendously boosted. As a consequence, the established CdS/ZIF-8 heterojunction exhibited the optimal photocatalytic hydrogen production performance (2.10 mmol·g-1 L-1), which was 35 times higher than pristine CdS (0.06 mmol·g-1·L-1). We believe this strategy will endow new insights for the development of novel photocatalysts.

Abstract
The porous metal-organic complexes are emerging as novel carriers for effective and safe delivery of drugs for cancer treatment, minimizing the side effect of drug overuse during cancer treatment. This study fabricated the Fe-BTC-PEG metal-organic complex from Fe ions, trimesic acid, and poly(ethylene glycol) as precursors using an ultrasonic-assisted method. The morphology and crystallinity of the resultant complex were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. FTIR spectroscopy was employed to investigate the functional groups on the surface of the Fe-BTC-PEG complex. The result showed that the prepared Fe-BTC-PEG complex was in particle form with low crystallinity and diameter ranging from 100 to 200 nm. The obtained Fe-BTC-PEG complex exhibited a high loading capacity for the 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) anticancer drug with a maximal capacity of 364 mg/g. The releasing behavior of 5-fluorouracil from the 5-FU-loaded Fe-BTC-PEG complex was studied. Notably, the acute oral toxicity of the Fe-BTC-PEG metal-organic complex was also carried out to evaluate the safety of the material in practical application.

Abstract
Salt stress is a globally increasing environmental detriment to crop growth and productivity. Exposure to salt stress evokes a complex medley of cellular signals, which rapidly reprogram transcriptional and metabolic networks to shape plant phenotype. To date, genetic engineering approaches were used with success to enhance salt tolerance; however, their performance is yet to be evaluated under realistic field conditions. Regulatory short non-coding RNAs (rsRNAs) are emerging as next-generation candidates for engineering salt tolerance in crops. In view of this, the present review provides a comprehensive analysis of a decade's worth of functional studies on non-coding RNAs involved in salt tolerance. Further, we have integrated this knowledge of rsRNA-mediated regulation with the current paradigm of salt tolerance to highlight two regulatory complexes (RCs) for regulating salt tolerance in plants. Finally, a knowledge-driven roadmap is proposed to judiciously utilize RC component(s) for enhancing salt tolerance in crops.

Abstract
This study was based on in vivo assessment of bone regeneration capacity of synthesized porous β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) nanocomposite granules and aimed to explore the effects of fabricated β-TCP granules reinforced with layered double hydroxides (LDH) nanoclay compared to β-TCP granules, in terms of osteoconductivity and biodegradability. Granules with diameters of 2-3 mm were implanted into cavities drilled in rabbit distal femur and were left in situ for up to 3 months. The mechanical study demonstrated that the presence of LDH nanoparticles in β-TCP granules resulted in a significant increase in compressive modulus from 174.4 to 231.4 MPa, while the porosity was constant at 76%-80%. The results revealed that the obtained granules showed no cytotoxicity. In this study, x-ray radiographic, micro-computed tomography, and histological staining analysis were taken to evaluate the percentage of bone ingrowth and biodegradability of the porous granules. The results exhibited that both granules support bone regeneration and also the amount of new bone formation in the bone defect filled with both granules was almost six times higher than the empty defects. Although no significant difference in bone formation for two different granules was observed, a higher biodegradability was detected in β-TCP granules in comparison to β-TCP/LDH granules. Overall, the addition of LDH nanoclay (10%) enhanced the physicochemical and mechanical properties of β-TCP granules while it is biological and osteoconductity properties have been maintained and its biodegradation rate has been decreased.

Abstract
The antitumor activity of triptolide (TP) has received widespread attention, although its toxicity severely limits its clinical application. Therefore, the design of a targeted drug delivery system (TDDS) has important application prospects in tumor treatment. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), with high drug-carrying capacity and good biocompatibility, have aroused widespread interest for drug delivery systems. Herein, folic acid (FA) and 5-carboxylic acid fluorescein (5-FAM) were used to modify Fe-MIL-101 to construct a functionalized nano-platform (5-FAM/FA/TP@Fe-MIL-101) for the targeted delivery of the anti-tumor drug triptolide and realize in vivo fluorescence imaging. Compared with Fe-MIL-101, functionalized nanoparticles not only showed better targeted therapy efficiency, but also reduced the systemic toxicity of triptolide. In addition, the modification of 5-FAM facilitated fluorescence imaging of the tumor site and realized the construction of an integrated nano-platform for fluorescence imaging and treatment. Both in vitro and in vivo studies of functionalized nanoparticles have demonstrated excellent fluorescence imaging and synergistic targeting anticancer activity with negligible systemic toxicity. The development of functional nano-platform provides new ideas for the design of MOF-based multifunctional nano-drug delivery system, which can be used for precise treatment of tumor.

Abstract
Nowadays, cancer is one of the most prominent issues related to human health since it causes more than one-tenth of death cases throughout the world. On the other hand, routine therapeutic approaches in cancer suppression such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery, etc. due to their undesirable therapeutic outputs, including low efficiency in cancer inhibition, non-targeted drug delivery, nonselective distribution, and enormous side effects, have been indicated inefficient potency in cancer therapy or at least its growth inhibition. As a result, the development of novel and practical therapeutic methods such as nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems can be outstandingly beneficial in cancer suppression. Among various nanoparticles used in the delivery of bioactive to the tumor site, chitosan (CS) nanoparticles have received high attention. CS, poly [β-(1-4)-linked-2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose], is a natural linear amino polysaccharide derived from chitin which is made of irregularly distributed d-glucosamine and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine units. CS nanoparticles owing to their appropriate aspects, including nanometric size, great drug loading efficacy, ease of manipulation, non-toxicity, excellent availability and biocompatibility, good serum stability, long-term circulation time, suitable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics, non-immunogenicity, and enhanced drug solubility in the human body, have been designated as an efficient candidate for drug delivery systems. They can be involved in both passive (based on the enhanced permeability and retention effect cancer targeting) and active (receptor-mediated or stimuli-responsive cancer targeting) drug delivery systems for potential cancer therapy. This review presents the properties, preparation, modification, and numerous pharmaceutical applications of CS-based drug nanodelivery systems in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer.

Abstract
In recent year, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been displayed to be a category of promising drug delivery systems because of their crystalline structure, the potential of further functionality, and high porosity. In this research, graphene oxide was synthesized from pure graphite via hummer method and then MgFe2O4 nanoparticles was incorporated into the synthesized ZIF-8 metal-organic frameworks which followed with loading on the surfaces of graphene oxide. In continue, tetracycline as an antibiotic drug was loaded on the surfaces and the cavities of the prepared nanocomposite. The outcomes of this research revealed that 90% of the tetracycline was loaded on the synthesized ZIF-8/GO/MgFe2O4 nanostructure. Next, drug release was done at pH: 5 and pH: 7.4 within 3 days, resulting about 88% and 92% release of the tetracycline, respectively. With using different spectroscopic methods like X-ray crystallography (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX/Mapping), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermalgravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), the structure of synthesized materials was confirmed. Furthermore, the antibiotic activity of tetracycline trapped into the ZIF-8/GO/MgFe2O4 was evaluated by agar-well diffusion method on both gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria, which showed good antibacterial results.

Abstract
Cancers of the gastrointestinal tract constitute one of the most common cancer types worldwide and a ∼58% increase in the global number of cases has been estimated by IARC for the next twenty years. Recent advances in drug delivery technologies have attracted scientific interest for developing and utilizing efficient therapeutic systems. The present review focuses on the use of nanoscale MOFs (Nano-MOFs) as carriers for drug delivery and imaging purposes. In pursuit of significant improvements to current gastrointestinal cancer chemotherapy regimens, systems that allow multiple concomitant therapeutic options (polytherapy) and controlled release are highly desirable. In this sense, MOF-based nanotherapeutics represent a significant step towards achieving this goal. Here, the current state-of-the-art of interdisciplinary research and novel developments into MOF-based gastrointestinal cancer therapy are highlighted and reviewed.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 594:727-736. [PMID: 33789184 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.02.084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2021] [Revised: 02/18/2021] [Accepted: 02/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS One of the main advances in double-chain surfactant systems has been their progress from the construction of assemblies to the transformation application in medicine and material science, especially to the drug delivery systems. Thus, it is critical to develop stimuli-responsive assemblies based on double-chain surfactants. We predicted that reversible assembly switching can be achieved by manipulation of the ternary host-guest competitive complexation among β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), surfactants, and designed azobenzene (Azo). EXPERIMENTS In this work, Azo was introduced into vesicles using supramolecular assembly strategy. Vesicles are formed only when Azo moieties are in trans-form. UV switching of Azo groups led to fast disruption of the Azo@β-CD complexes and relatively slow disintegration of the vesicles. With the alterative irradiation of UV and Vis light, the photoisomerization of azo group provokes the reversible disassembly and reassembly of vesicles. FINDINGS This photo-responsive supramolecular strategy offered a controllable way to prepare responsive vesicles assembled from complex double-chain surfactants, such as phospholipids, which could be further used in drug delivery systems. This new perspective is instructive for the design and functional use of complex surfactants assembly. Importantly, the study results paved the way for the development of novel light-responsive assembly materials operating in aqueous media and biological field.

Abstract
The solvothermal synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) often proceeds through competing crystallization pathways, and only partial control over the crystal nucleation and growth rates is possible. It challenges the use of MOFs as functional devices in free-space optics, where bulk single crystals of millimeter dimensions and high optical quality are needed. We develop a synthetic protocol to control the solvothermal growth of the MOF [Zn(3-ptz)2] n (MIRO-101), to obtain large single crystals with projected surface areas of up to 25 mm2 in 24 h, in a single reaction with in situ ligand formation. No additional cooling and growth steps are necessary. We propose a viable reaction mechanism for the formation of MIRO-101 crystals under acidic conditions, by isolating intermediate crystal structures that directly connect with the target MOF and reversibly interconverting between them. We also study the nucleation and growth kinetics of MIRO-101 using ex situ crystal image analysis. The synthesis parameters that control the size and morphology of our target MOF crystal are discussed. Our work deepens our understanding of MOF growth processes in solution and demonstrates the possibility of building MOF-based devices for future applications in optics.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer many opportunities for applications across biology and medicine. Their wide range of chemical composition makes toxicologically acceptable formulation possible, and their high level of functionality enables possible applications as delivery systems for therapeutics agents. Surface modifications have been used in drug delivery systems to minimize their interaction with the bulk, improving their specificity as targeted carriers. Herein, we discuss a strategy to achieve a tumor-targeting drug-loaded MOF using "click" chemistry to anchor functional folic acid (FA) molecules on the surface of N3-bio-MOF-100. Using curcumin (CCM) as an anticancer drug, we observed drug loading encapsulation efficiencies (DLEs) of 24.02 and 25.64% after soaking N3-bio-MOF-100 in CCM solutions for 1 day and 3 days, respectively. The success of postsynthetic modification of FA was confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The stimuli-responsive drug release studies demonstrated an increase of CCM released under acidic microenvironments. Moreover, the cell viability assay was performed on the 4T1 (breast cancer) cell line in the presence of CCM@N3-bio-MOF-100 and CCM@N3-bio-MOF-100/FA carriers to confirm its biological compatibility. In addition, a cellular uptake study was conducted to evaluate the targeting of tumor cells.

Abstract
We herein report a facile and scalable strategy for the fabrication of a metal-organic framework (MOF) based composite by in situ growing ZIF-8 on gold nanoparticle (AuNP) loaded magnetic carbon nanotubes (mCNTs). AuNPs were firstly loaded on PEI (polyethylenimine) modified mCNTs by electrostatic forces, and then AuNPs/mCNTs were encapsulated into the ZIF-8 frame through in situ self-assembling of zinc ions and 2-methylimidazole. The morphology, spectroscopy and structural properties of the AuNP/mCNT@ZIF-8 nanocomposites were systematically characterized. The conductivity-strain tests revealed that the in situ insertion of AuNPs/mCNTs in ZIF-8 could not only shorten the electron transfer distance between active sites and mCNTs, but also increase the dispersion of mCNTs, which would benefit the electron and mass transfer. Besides, by adopting the AuNP/mCNT@ZIF-8 nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as the working electrode, a novel electrochemical sensor was successfully developed for the detection of bisphenol A (BPA). A linear range of BPA detection from 1 μM to 100 μM with a limit of detection of 690 nM was favorably obtained. Moreover, the developed sensor exhibited satisfactory reproducibility and superior stability with excellent anti-interference ability, and was successfully applied in the detection of BPA in real samples.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin is being used in different malignancies and several side effects are reported for patients taking Oxaliplatin, including peripheral neuropathy, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, low blood counts, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc. Here we have developed a targeted anticancer drug delivery system based on folate-conjugated amine-functionalized UiO-66 for the delivery of oxaliplatin (OX). UiO-66-NH2 (U) and UiO-66-NH2-FA(FU) were pre-functionalized by the incorporation of folic acid (FA) into the structure via coordination of the carboxylate group of FA. The FTIR spectra of drug-loaded U and FU showed the presence of new carboxylic and aliphatic groups of OX and FA. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns were matched accordingly with the reference pattern and FESEM results showed semi-spherical particles (115-128 nm). The evaluated amounts of OX in U and FU were calculated 304.5 and 293 mg/g, respectively. The initial burst release of OX was 15.7% per hour for U(OX) and 10.8% per hour for FU(OX). The final release plateau gives 62.9% and 52.3% for U(OX) and FU(OX). To evaluate the application of the prepared delivery platform, they were tested on colorectal cancer cells (CT-26) via MTT assay, cell migration assay, and spheroid model. IC50 values obtained from MTT assay were 21.38, 95.50, and 18.20 μg/mL for OX, U(OX), and FU(OX), respectively. After three days of treatment, the CT26 spheroids at two doses of 500 and 50 μg/mL of U(OX) and FU(OX) showed volume reduction. Moreover, the oxidative behavior of the prepared systems within the cell was assessed by total thiol, malondialdehyde, and superoxide dismutase activity. The results showed that FU(OX) had higher efficacy in preventing the growth of CT-26 spheroid, and was more effective than oxaliplation in cell migration inhibition, and induced higher oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Abstract
Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that are both fluorescent and hollow are attracting increasing interest in recent years, but ideal candidates prepared by reliable methods for biomedical applications are still very limited. Herein, we for the first time prepared tetrakis[4-(4-carboxyphenyl)phenyl]ethene (TCBPE)-based MOF nanotubes with hollow nanostructures, which could emit strong fluorescence. It was further discovered that the formation of this hollow hexagonal nanotube underwent a self-templated growth and a subsequent concaving process, which revealed that the synthesis of this MOF was kinetic rather than thermodynamic. This new MOF showed high biocompatibility, optical stability, sensitivity to pH response, and capability for exotic loading. This new MOF was further employed for efficient anti-cancer drug delivery in a self-indicating manner based on these attractive features. Therefore, this work could bring in valuable insights into the exploration of multifunctional MOFs in the field of biomedical applications by providing a new exemplar with high practical utility.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative movement disorders, such as Huntington's disease (HD), share a progressive and relentless course with increasing motor disability, linked with neuropsychiatric impairment. These diseases exhibit diverse pathophysiological processes and are a topic of intense experimental and clinical research due to the lack of therapeutic options. Restorative therapies are promising approaches with the potential to restore brain circuits. However, there were less compelling results in the few clinical trials. In this review, we discuss cell replacement therapies applied to animal models and HD patients. We thoroughly describe the initial trials using fetal neural tissue transplantation and recent approaches based on alternative cell sources tested in several animal models. Stem cells were shown to generate the desired neuron phenotype and/or provide growth factors to the degenerating host cells. Besides, genetic approaches such as RNA interference and the CRISPR/Cas9 system have been studied in animal models and human-derived cells. New genetic manipulations have revealed the capability to control or counteract the effect of human gene mutations as described by the use of antisense oligonucleotides in a clinical trial. In HD, innovative strategies are at forefront of human testing and thus other brain genetic diseases may follow similar therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Reticular materials are of high interest for diverse applications, ranging from catalysis and separation to gas storage and drug delivery. These open, extended frameworks can be tailored to the intended application through crystal-structure design. Implementing these materials in application settings, however, requires structuring beyond their lattices, to interface the functionality at the molecular level effectively with the macroscopic world. To overcome this barrier, efforts in expressing structural control across molecular, nano-, meso-, and bulk regimes is the essential next step. In this Review, we give an overview of recent advances in using self-assembly as well as externally controlled tools to manufacture reticular materials over all the length scales. We predict that major research advances in deploying these two approaches will facilitate the use of reticular materials in addressing major needs of society.

Anti-Angiogenic and Anti-Proliferative Graphene Oxide Nanosheets for Tumor Cell Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21155571. [PMID: 32759830 PMCID: PMC7432113 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21155571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2020] [Revised: 07/31/2020] [Accepted: 08/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) is a bidimensional novel material that exhibits high biocompatibility and angiogenic properties, mostly related to the intracellular formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this work, we set up an experimental methodology for the fabrication of GO@peptide hybrids by the immobilization, via irreversible physical adsorption, of the Ac-(GHHPH)4-NH2 peptide sequence, known to mimic the anti-angiogenic domain of the histidine-proline-rich glycoprotein (HPRG). The anti-proliferative capability of the graphene-peptide hybrids were tested in vitro by viability assays on prostate cancer cells (PC-3 line), human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y), and human retinal endothelial cells (primary HREC). The anti-angiogenic response of the two cellular models of angiogenesis, namely endothelial and prostate cancer cells, was scrutinized by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release and wound scratch assays, to correlate the activation of inflammatory response upon the cell treatments with the GO@peptide nanocomposites to the cell migration processes. Results showed that the GO@peptide nanoassemblies not only effectively induced toxicity in the prostate cancer cells, but also strongly blocked the cell migration and inhibited the prostaglandin-mediated inflammatory process both in PC-3 and in HRECs. Moreover, the cytotoxic mechanism and the internalization efficiency of the theranostic nanoplatforms, investigated by mitochondrial ROS production analyses and confocal microscopy imaging, unraveled a dose-dependent manifold mechanism of action performed by the hybrid nanoassemblies against the PC-3 cells, with the detection of the GO-characteristic cell wrapping and mitochondrial perturbation. The obtained results pointed out to the very promising potential of the synthetized graphene-based hybrids for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are attractive in designing drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer because of their unique porous properties. However, the search for multifunctional MOFs with high drug loading and magnetic resonance/fluorescence imaging capacities is still a challenge and they have rarely been reported. In this article, using the intrinsic advantages of MOFs, hollow Fe-MOFs with biomolecular grafting were fabricated and shown to be capable of loading much more drugs and exhibiting targeted drug delivery, pH-controlled drug release and magnetic resonance/fluorescence imaging. Benefiting from their hollow structures, the drug loading capacity is as high as 35%. Due to post-modification with folic acid (FA) and the fluorescent reagent (5-FAM) and the existence of Fe(iii), in vitro experiments indicate that Fe-MOF-5-NH2-FA-5-FAM/5-FU can target cancer cells HepG-2 and display excellent magnetic resonance/fluorescence imaging. Furthermore, in vivo biodistribution indicates that Fe-MOF-5-NH2-FA-5-FAM/5-FU can accumulate in the tumor. Taken together, our work integrates high drug loading and bioimaging into a single MOF successfully and reveals the enormous potential of the functionalized MOF for drug delivery and bioimaging.

Abstract
A sensing methodology that combines Au, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), and folic acid for selective, sensitive, and colorimetric detection of tumor cells based on the peroxidase-like activity was reported in this study. Gold nanowires with a high aspect ratio were synthesized using TMV as a template. Au@TMV nanowire (AT) complex was obtained with diameter of 4 nm and length between 200 and 300 nm. In addition, since TMV was biocompatible and had many amino and carboxyl groups on its surface, AT was conjugated by folate to form a folic acid (FA)-conjugated AT composite (ATF) and tested by FTIR measurements. Furthermore, the peroxidase-like properties were studied and the optimal conditions for mimic enzyme activity were optimized. Finally, HeLa and other tumor cells expressed excessive receptors of folate on the surface, which can specifically bind to folic acid. As the specific binding of ATF with HeLa cells, the peroxidase properties of ATF were used for detection of cancer cells (Scheme 1). The cancer cells were detected not only qualitatively but also quantitatively. In this study, as low as 2000 cancer cells/mL could be detected using the current method.
