Receptor Ligand-Free Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles: A Streamlined Strategy for Targeted Drug Delivery across the Blood-Brain Barrier. ACS NANO 2024; 18:12716-12736. [PMID: 38718220 PMCID: PMC11112986 DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.3c08993] [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: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) represent a promising avenue for targeted brain tumor therapy. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) often presents a formidable obstacle to efficient drug delivery. This study introduces a ligand-free PEGylated MSN variant (RMSN25-PEG-TA) with a 25 nm size and a slight positive charge, which exhibits superior BBB penetration. Utilizing two-photon imaging, RMSN25-PEG-TA particles remained in circulation for over 24 h, indicating significant traversal beyond the cerebrovascular realm. Importantly, DOX@RMSN25-PEG-TA, our MSN loaded with doxorubicin (DOX), harnessed the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect to achieve a 6-fold increase in brain accumulation compared to free DOX. In vivo evaluations confirmed the potent inhibition of orthotopic glioma growth by DOX@RMSN25-PEG-TA, extending survival rates in spontaneous brain tumor models by over 28% and offering an improved biosafety profile. Advanced LC-MS/MS investigations unveiled a distinctive protein corona surrounding RMSN25-PEG-TA, suggesting proteins such as apolipoprotein E and albumin could play pivotal roles in enabling its BBB penetration. Our results underscore the potential of ligand-free MSNs in treating brain tumors, which supports the development of future drug-nanoparticle design paradigms.

Abstract
Polysaccharides, due to their remarkable features, have gained significant prominence in the sustainable production of nanoparticles (NPs). High market demand and minimal production cost, compared to the chemically synthesised NPs, demonstrate a drive towards polysaccharide-based nanoparticles (PSNPs) benign to environment. Various approaches are used for the synthesis of PSNPs including cross-linking, polyelectrolyte complexation, and self-assembly. PSNPs have the potential to replace a wide diversity of chemical-based agents within the food, health, medical and pharmacy sectors. Nevertheless, the considerable challenges associated with optimising the characteristics of PSNPs to meet specific targeting applications are of utmost importance. This review provides a detailed compilation of recent accomplishments in the synthesis of PSNPs, the fundamental principles and critical factors that govern their rational fabrication, as well as various characterisation techniques. Noteworthy, the multiple use of PSNPs in different disciplines such as biomedical, cosmetics agrochemicals, energy storage, water detoxification, and food-related realms, is accounted in detail. Insights into the toxicological impacts of the PSNPs and their possible risks to human health are addressed, and efforts made in terms of PSNPs development and optimising strategies that allow for enhanced delivery are highlighted. Finally, limitations, potential drawbacks, market diffusion, economic viability and future possibilities for PSNPs to achieve widespread commercial use are also discussed.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides are unique polymers generated by living organisms such as algae, fungi and bacteria to protect them from environmental factors. After a fermentative process, these polymers are extracted from the medium culture. Exopolysaccharides have been explored for their anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, and immunomodulatory effects. Specifically, they have acquired massive attention in novel drug delivery strategies owing to their indispensable properties like biocompatibility, biodegradability, and lack of irritation. Exopolysaccharides such as dextran, alginate, hyaluronic acid, pullulan, xanthan gum, gellan gum, levan, curdlan, cellulose, chitosan, mauran, and schizophyllan exhibited excellent drug carrier properties. Specific exopolysaccharides, such as levan, chitosan, and curdlan, have demonstrated significant antitumor activity. Moreover, chitosan, hyaluronic acid and pullulan can be employed as targeting ligands decorated on nanoplatforms for effective active tumor targeting. This review shields light on the classification, unique characteristics, antitumor activities and nanocarrier properties of exopolysaccharides. In addition, in vitro human cell line experiments and preclinical studies associated with exopolysaccharide-based nanocarriers have also been highlighted.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were surface-engineered with a cationic corona to enhance the incorporation of photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). The cationic corona composed of poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) was atom transfer radical-polymerized on the surface of the AuNPs. The cationic corona of the engineered surface was characterized by dynamic light scattering, electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy. Chlorin-e6 (Ce6) incorporated onto the surface-engineered AuNPs exhibited higher cell incorporation efficiency than bare AuNPs. Ce6-incorporated AuNPs were confirmed to release singlet oxygen upon NIR irradiation. Compared to Ce6, Ce6-incorporated AuNPs exhibited higher cellular uptake and cytotoxicity against cancer cells in an irradiation time-dependent manner. Near-infrared-irradiated animals administered Ce6-incorporated AuNPs exhibited higher levels of tumor suppression without noticeable body weight loss. This result was attributed to the higher localization of Ce6 at the tumor sites to induce cancer cell apoptosis. Thus, we envision that engineered AuNPs with cationic corona can be tailored to effectively deliver photosensitizers to tumor sites for photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based biomaterials (e.g., chitosan, dextran, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate and heparin) have received great attention in healthcare, particularly in drug delivery for tumor therapy. They are naturally abundant and available, outstandingly biodegradable and biocompatible, and they generally have negligible toxicity and low immunogenicity. In addition, they are easily chemically or physically modified. Therefore, PSs-based nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively investigated for the enhancement of tumor treatment. In this review, we introduce the synthetic pathways of amphiphilic PS derivatives, which allow the constructs to self-assemble into NPs with various structures. We especially offer an overview of the emerging applications of self-assembled PSs-based NPs in tumor chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), gene therapy and immunotherapy. We believe that this review can provide criteria for a rational and molecular level-based design of PS-based NPs, and comprehensive insight into the potential of PS-based NPs used in multiple cancer therapies.

Abstract
Introduction: The treatment of tumors is one of the most difficult problems in the medical field at present. Patients often use a comprehensive therapy that combines surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has prominent potential for eradicating various cancers. Chlorin-based photosensitizers (PSs), as one of the most utilized photosensitizers, have many advantages over conventional photosensitizers; however, a successful chlorin-based PDT needs multi-functional nano-carriers for selective photosensitizer delivery. The number of researches about nanoparticles designed for improved chlorin-based PSs is increasing in the current era. In this article, we give a brief review focused on the recent research progress in design of chlorin-based nanoparticles for the treatment of malignant tumors with photodynamic therapy.Areas covered: This review focuses on the current nanoparticle platforms for PDT, and describes different strategies to achieve controllable PDT by chlorin-nano-delivery systems. The challenges and prospects of PDT in clinical applications are also discussed.Expert opinions: The requirement for PDT to eradicate cancers has increased exponentially in recent years. The major clinically used photosensitizers are hydrophobic. The main obstacles in effective delivery of PSs are associated with this intrinsic nature. The design of nano-delivery systems to load PSs is pivotal for PSs' widespread use.

Abstract
Combinational photo-based approaches with enhanced efficacy for cancer therapy have garnered increasing attention in recent years. In this work, a multifunctional system for synergistic photothermal and photodynamic cancer therapy was successfully prepared. The system consists of gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) conjugated with Chlorin e6 (Ce6), and then coated with a polydopamine (PDA) layer. AuNFs with diameters around 80 nm and a broad absorbance in the visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) range of 500 to 800 nm, were successfully synthesized by a two-step process at 0 °C, using HAuCl4, ascorbic acid (AA), and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NH2OH·HCl) as the reactants. Glutathione (GSH) molecules chemically anchored to the gold surfaces were used to provide addressable sites for Ce6 conjugated to GSH-AuNFs through an amidation reaction. A PDA layer was then wrapped outside the Ce6-GSH-AuNFs via self-polymerization of dopamine, which provided additional chemical modification and functionalization. Finally, the multifunctional PDA-Ce6-GSH-AuNFs were obtained. The content of Ce6 incorporated into the AuNFs was 14.0 wt%, and the singlet oxygen yield of PDA-Ce6-GSH-AuNFs was approximately 91.0% of that of free Ce6. PDA-Ce6-GSH-AuNFs showed better photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 23.6%), lower cytotoxicity, and faster cell internalization. Both in vitro and in vivo investigation of the combined treatment with a near-infrared (NIR) laser (660 nm for photodynamic therapy, and 808 nm for photothermal therapy) demonstrated that PDA-Ce6-GSH-AuNFs had excellent phototoxicity and synergistic effects of killing cancer cells. Hence, PDA-Ce6-GSH-AuNFs are a dual phototherapeutic agent that exhibits photodynamic and photothermal therapeutic effects and has potential application in enhanced cancer therapy.

Abstract
Successful applications of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in cancer treatment require the development of effective photosensitizers with controllable singlet oxygen generation. Here we report a ubiquinone-BODIPY photosensitizer that self-assembles into nanoparticles (PS-Q-NPs) and undergoes selective activation and deaggregation within the highly reductive intracellular environment of tumor cells. PS-Q-NPs are highly stable in aqueous buffer solution, and exhibit minimal fluorescence and photosensitization due to a rapid non-radiative relaxation process. Upon endocytosis by cancer cells, reduction of the ubiquinone moiety by intracellular glutathione (GSH) triggers the conversion of the aggregated hydrophobic precursor into the active hydrophilic carboxylate derivative PS-A. The conversion results in enhanced fluorescence and therapeutic singlet oxygen generation, portending to its application as an activatable photosensitizer for fluorescence imaging-guided photodynamic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Natural hydrogels are three-dimensional (3D) water-retaining materials with a skeleton consisting of natural polymers, their derivatives or mixtures. Natural hydrogels can provide sustained or controlled drug release and possess some unique properties of natural polymers, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility and some additional functions, such as CD44 targeting of hyaluronic acid. Natural hydrogels can be used with photosensitizers (PSs) in photodynamic therapy (PDT) to increase the range of applications. In the current review, the pertinent design variables are discussed along with a description of the categories of natural hydrogels available for PDT.

pH-responsive intramolecular FRET-based self-tracking polymer prodrug nanoparticles for real-time tumor intracellular drug release monitoring and imaging. Int J Pharm 2020; 588:119723.

Abstract
An intramolecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based macromolecular theranostic prodrug was designed by directly conjugating Doxorubicin (DOX) as the FRET acceptor onto the naphthalimide side groups in the fluorescent copolymer PPEGMA20-PNAP8 as the FRET energy donor via an acid-labile imine bond, without a fluorogenic linker. The proposed PPEGMA20-PNAP8-DOX theranostic prodrug showed a high DOX content of 24.3% owing to a conjugation efficiency of > 93% under mild conjugation conditions. It could easily self-assemble into unique theranostic nanoparticles with a Dh of 71 nm. The theranostic nanoparticles showed excellent pH-triggered DOX release performance with very low premature drug leakage of 6.3% in normal physiological medium over 129 h, while>91% of the conjugated DOX was released in the acidic tumor intracellular microenvironment. MTT assays indicated the enhanced antitumor efficacy of the proposed theranostic nanoparticles compared with free DOX. Furthermore, because drug release was triggered by pH, orange fluorescence was restored to the blue fluorescence of the backbone copolymer. Such self-tracking pH-responsive colorful fluorescence variations during intracellular drug delivery and release are expected to allow real-time tumor intracellular drug release monitoring and imaging diagnosis.

Abstract
The development of nanotheranostics represents one of the most dynamic technological frontiers in the treatment of different pathological conditions. With the goal in mind to generate nanocarriers with both therapeutic and diagnostic properties, current research aims at implementing these technologies with multiple functions, including targeting, multimodal imaging, and synergistic therapies. The working mechanism of some nanotheranostics relies on physical, chemical, and biological triggers allowing for the activation of the therapeutic and/or the diagnostic properties only at the diseased site. In this review, we explored new advances in the development of smart nanotheranostics responsive to pathological stimuli, including altered pH, oxidative stress, enzymatic expression, and reactive biological molecules with a deep focus on the material used in the field to generate the particles in the context of the analyzed disease.

Abstract
New amphiphilic dextran esters were obtained by polysaccharide functionalization with different substituted 1,2,3-triazoles-4-carboxylic acid via in situ activation with N, N'-carbonyldiimidazole. Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic derivatives were achieved by copper(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction between organic azides and ethyl propiolate. Structural characteristics of the compounds were studied by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H and 13C-NMR). Thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle X-ray diffraction were used for esters characterization. Properties of polymeric self-associates, formed in aqueous solution, were studied by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The critical aggregation concentration values for dextran esters, determined by fluorescence spectroscopy, were in the range of 4.1-9.5 mg/dL. Antimicrobial activity, investigated for some of the polymers by disc-diffusion method, pointed out that polysaccharide esters were active.

Abstract
Cancer is a big challenge that has plagued the human beings for ages and one of the most effective treatments is chemotherapy. However, the low tumor-targeting ability limits the wide clinical application of chemotherapy. The microenvironment plays a critical role in many aspects of tumor genesis. It generates the tumor vasculature and it is highly implicated in the progression to metastasis. To maintain a suitable environment for tumor progression, there are special microenvironment in tumor cell, such as low pH, high level of glutathione (GSH) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and more special enzymes, which is different to normal cell. Microenvironment-targeted therapy strategy could create new opportunities for therapeutic targeting. Compared to other targeting strategies, microenvironment-targeted therapy strategy will control the drug release into tumor cells more accurately. Redox responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) are developed based on the high level of GSH in tumor cells. However, there are also GSH in normal cell though its level is lower. In order to control the release of drugs more accurately and reduce side effects, other drug release stimuli have been introduced to redox responsive DDSs. Under the synergistic reaction of two stimuli, redox dual-stimuli responsive DDSs will control the release of drugs more accurately and quickly and even increase the accumulation. This review summarizes strategies of redox dual-stimuli responsive DDSs such as pH, light, enzyme, ROS, and magnetic guide to delivery chemotherapeutic agents more accurately, aiming at providing new ideas for further promoting the drug release, enhancing tumor-targeting and improving anticancer effects. To better illustrate the redox dual-stimuli responsive DDS, preparations of carriers are also briefly described in the review.

Photo-triggered self-destructive ROS-responsive nanoparticles of high paclitaxel/chlorin e6 co-loading capacity for synergetic chemo-photodynamic therapy. J Control Release 2020; 323:333-349. [PMID: 32325174 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2020.04.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2019] [Revised: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
To improve the anti-cancer therapeutic effect of nanosystems for chemo-photodynamic therapy, there remain several hurdles to be addressed, e.g., limited co-loading efficiency, insufficient stimulus-responsiveness and lack of synergetic effect. This work reported novel reactive‑oxygen-species (ROS)-responsive chlorin e6 (Ce6) and paclitaxel (PTX) co-encapsulated chondroitin sulfate-g-poly (propylene sulfide) nanoparticles (CP/ChS-g-PPS NPs), wherein the drug loading efficiencies of Ce6 and PTX were as high as 14.93% and 24.31%, respectively. To enlarge the ROS signal at tumor sites thus enhancing the ROS-responsiveness of ChS-g-PPS NPs, near-infrared (NIR) light was utilized to induce Ce6 to produce more ROS to destruct the NPs. Our data showed that the photo-triggered self-destructive property of NPs helped drugs to spread deeper in tumors upon laser irradiation, making the NPs promising to thoroughly remove tumor cells. CP/ChS-g-PPS NPs exhibited a synergetic chemo-photodynamic therapy effect in vitro, which was suggested by the combination indexes of PTX and Ce6 lower than 1 when 20-80% inhibition rates of MCF-7 cells were achieved. As for the in vivo antitumor activity, the tumor inhibition rates of CP/ChS-g-PPS NPs (with laser irradiation) were as high as 92.76% and 88.57% in 4T1 bearing BALB/c mice and MCF-7 bearing BALB/c nude mice, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of other treatment groups. This work provided a simple yet effective strategy to develop photo-triggered ROS-responsive NPs for synergetic chemo-photodynamic therapy with quick ROS-responsive self-destruction, spatiotemporally controllability, reduced off-target toxicity, and desirable therapeutic effect.

Abstract
An adamantane-containing zwitterionic copolymer poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine)- co-poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl adamantane-1-carboxylate) (poly(MPC- co-MAda)) was prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The hydrophobic photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) was conjugated to β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) by glutathione (GSH)-sensitive disulfide bonds. The Ce6 conjugated supramolecular prodrug nanocarriers were fabricated due to the host-guest interaction between adamantane and β-CD, which was confirmed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Ce6 conjugated prodrug nanocarriers showed reduction-responsive release of Ce6, which could result in the activation of Ce6. The generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) was significantly enhanced due to the activation of Ce6. In additiona, the Ce6 conjugated prodrug nanocarriers could effectively inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells upon light irradiation.

Abstract
The development of imaging-guided smart drug delivery systems for combinational photodynamic/chemotherapy of the tumor has become highly demanded in oncology. Herein, redox-responsive theranostic polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated innovatively using low molecular weight heparin (LWMH) as the backbone. Chlorin e6 (Ce6) and alpha-tocopherol succinate (TOS) were conjugated to LMWH via cystamine as the redox-sensitive linker, forming amphiphilic Ce6-LMWH-TOS (CHT) polymer, which could self-assemble into NPs in water and encapsulate paclitaxel (PTX) inside the inner core (PTX/CHT NPs). The enhanced near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence intensity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation of Ce6 were observed in a reductive environment, suggesting the cystamine-switched "ON/OFF" of Ce6. Also, the in vitro release of PTX exhibited a redox-triggered profile. MCF-7 cells showed a dramatically higher uptake of Ce6 delivered by CHT NPs compared with free Ce6. The improved therapeutic effect of PTX/CHT NPs compared with mono-photodynamic or mono-chemotherapy was observed in vitro via MTT and apoptosis assays. Also, the PTX/CHT NPs exhibited a significantly better in anti-tumor efficiency upon NIR irradiation according to the results of in vivo combination therapy conducted on 4T1-tumor-bearing mice. The in vivo NIR fluorescence capacity of CHT NPs was also evaluated in tumor-bearing nude mice, implying that the CHT NPs could enhance the accumulation and retention of Ce6 in tumor foci compared with free Ce6. Interestingly, the anti-metastasis activity of CHT NPs was observed against MCF-7 cells by a wound healing assay, which was comparable to LMWH, suggesting LMWH was promising for construction of nanocarriers for cancer management.

Abstract
The development of smart delivery systems that are robust in circulation and quickly release drugs following selective internalization into target cancer cells is a key to precision cancer therapy. Interestingly, reduction-sensitive polymeric nanomedicines showing high plasma stability and triggered cytoplasmic drug release behavior have recently emerged as one of the most exciting platforms for targeted delivery of various anticancer drugs including small chemical drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids. In vivo studies in varying tumor models reveal that these reduction-sensitive multifunctional nanomedicines outperform the currently used clinical formulations and reduction-insensitive counterparts, bringing about not only significantly enhanced tumor selectivity, accumulation and inhibition efficacy but also markedly reduced systemic toxicity and improved therapeutic index. In this review, we will highlight the cutting-edge advancement with a focus on in vivo performances as well as future perspectives on reduction-sensitive polymeric nanomedicines for targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
In biological systems, the pH in intracellular organelles or tissues is strictly regulated, and differences of pH are deeply related to key biological events such as protein degradation, intracellular trafficking, renal failure, and cancer. Ratiometric fluorescence imaging is useful for determination of precise pH values, but existing fluorescence probes have substantial limitations, such as inappropriate p Ka for imaging in the physiological pH range, inadequate photobleaching resistance, and insufficiently long excitation and emission wavelengths. Here we report a versatile scaffold for ratiometric fluorescence pH probes, based on asymmetric rhodamine. To demonstrate its usefulness for biological applications, we employed it to develop two probes. (1) SiRpH5 has suitable p Ka and water solubility for imaging in acidic intracellular compartments; by using transferrin tagged with SiRpH5, we achieved time-lapse imaging of pH in endocytic compartments during protein trafficking for the first time. (2) Me-pEPPR is a near-infrared (NIR) probe; by using dextrin tagged with Me-pEPPR, we were able to image extracellular pH of renal tubules and tumors in situ. These chemical tools should be useful for studying the influence of intra- and extracellular pH on biological processes, as well as for in vivo imaging.

Abstract
The photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6) has been frequently employed for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer; however, its nonspecific toxicity has limited its clinical applications. In this study, we prepared chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs), with a mean diameter of approximately 130 nm, by a nonsolvent-aided counterion complexation method in an aqueous solution, into which Ce6 could be physically entrapped during the preparation process. These CNPs and Ce6-loaded CNPs (CNPs-Ce6) were fully characterized by UV-vis, photoluminescence, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis, as well as dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy measurements. More importantly, the biocompatibility of the otherwise toxic Ce6 was significantly improved upon its loading into the CNPs, as demonstrated by both confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays. Furthermore, the PDT efficiency of Ce6-loaded CNPs was dramatically enhanced, in comparison with that of the free Ce6, as shown by both MTT and flow cytometry assays. This discovery provides a novel strategy for improving the biocompatibility and therapeutic efficacy of PDT agents by using a natural, biocompatible polysaccharide carrier.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a site-specific treatment of cancer using much lower optical power densities with minimal nonspecific damage to normal tissues. To improve the therapeutic efficiency of PDT, we fabricated a multifunctional theranostic nanoparticle system (DSSCe6@Fe3O4 NPs) by loading Fe3O4 nanoparticles in redox-responsive chlorin e6 (Ce6)-conjugated dextran nanoparticles for near-infrared (NIR)/magnetic resonance (MR) dual-modality imaging and magnetic targeting. The obtained DSSCe6@Fe3O4 NPs demonstrated a uniform nanospherical morphology consisting of Fe3O4 clusters. The fluorescence signal of Ce6 of this theranostic system could turn "ON" from a self-quenching state in a reductive intracellular environment. T2-Weighted MR imaging revealed a high transverse relaxivity (r2) measured to be 194.4 S-1 mM-1, confirming that it was also a distinctive contrast agent in T2-weighted MR imaging. Confocal images and flow cytometry results showed that the cellular uptake of DSSCe6@Fe3O4 NPs was enhanced effectively under an extra magnetic field, which resulted in promoted PDT therapeutic efficiency. In vivo MR imaging showed that DSSCe6@Fe3O4 NPs effectively accumulated in tumors under an extra magnetic field. These results illustrated that the DSSCe6@Fe3O4 NPs could be a promising theranostic system for both NIR/MR imaging-guided PDT precision therapy.

Abstract
Lonidamine, an anticancer drug that acts on mitochondria, has poor water solubility. Mitochondria are the primary source of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are necessary for photodynamic therapy. Hence, a mitochondria-targeting drug delivery system loaded with Lonidamine and a ROS-produced photosensitizer could improve the bioavailability of Lonidamine and maximize photodynamic therapeutic efficiency. Here we report, for the first time, new IR-780 and Lonidamine encapsulated mitochondria-targeting thermosensitive liposomes (IL-TTSL). DSPE-PEG2000-NH2 was coupled with triphenylphosphine to form DSPE-PEG2K-TPP. The liposomes (IL-TTSL) were self-assembled from DPPC, DSPC, DSPE-PEG2K-TPP, cholesterol, IR-780 and Lonidamine. Coupled linker modified triphenylphosphine (TPP) is cationic and can selectively accumulate several hundred-fold within mitochondria. Once the liposomes are located inside mitochondria, 808 nm laser irradiation could trigger photosensitizer IR-780 to elevate the local temperature, which could be utilized in photothermal therapy and induce the release of Lonidamine from the thermosensitive liposomes. Meanwhile, IR-780 could release ROS for photodynamic therapy in mitochondria and increase photodynamic therapeutic efficiency. Our results showed that the surface modification of the liposomes with triphenylphosphine cations had good mitochondria-targeting ability. The liposomes exhibited good biocompatibility and all components of the empty liposomes were safe to be used in humans. Few reports were related to IR-780 being used in photodynamic therapy and we proved this function of IR-780. Overall, the stealth liposomes provide a promising new strategy to realize mitochondria-targeting thermosensitive chemo-, photodynamic and photothermal combination therapy with a single light source for lung cancer.

Abstract
Near-infrared surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) microscopy is used to detect and characterize the adsorption of single polymeric and protein nanoparticles (PPNPs) onto chemically modified gold thin films in real time. The single-nanoparticle SPRI responses, Δ%RNP, from several hundred adsorbed nanoparticles are collected in a single SPRI adsorption measurement. Analysis of Δ%RNP frequency distribution histograms is used to provide information on the size, material content, and interparticle interactions of the PPNPs. Examples include the measurement of log-normal Δ%RNP distributions for mixtures of polystyrene nanoparticles, the quantitation of bioaffinity uptake into and aggregation of porous NIPAm-based (N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel nanoparticles specifically engineered to bind peptides and proteins, and the characterization of the negative single-nanoparticle SPRI response and log-normal Δ%RNP distributions obtained for three different types of genetically encoded gas-filled protein nanostructures derived from bacteria.

Abstract
Biscyclometalated IrIII complexes involving boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based ancillary ligands, where the BODIPY unit is grafted to different chelating cores (acetylacetonate for Ir-1 and Ir-2, and bipyridine for Ir-3) by the BODIPY meso position, have been synthesized and characterized. Complexes with the BODIPY moiety directly grafted to acetylacetonate (Ir-1 and Ir-2) exhibit higher absorption coefficients (ϵ≈4.46×104 m-1 cm-1 and 3.38×104 m-1 cm-1 at 517 nm and 594 nm, respectively), higher moderate fluorescence emission (φfl ≈0.08 and 0.22 at 528 nm and 652 nm, respectively) and, in particular, more efficient singlet oxygen generation upon visible-light irradiation (φΔ ≈0.86 and 0.59, respectively) than that exhibited by Ir-3 (φΔ ≈0.51, but only under UV light). Phosphorescence emission, nanosecond time-resolved transient absorption, and DFT calculations suggest that BODIPY-localized long-lived 3 IL states are populated for Ir-1 and Ir-2. In vitro photodynamic therapy (PDT) activity studied for Ir-1 and Ir-2 in HeLa cells shows that such complexes are efficiently internalized into the cells, exhibiting low dark- and high photocytoxicity, even at significantly low complex concentration, making them potentially suitable as theranostic agents.

Abstract
pH/redox dual-responsive nanogels (DEX-SS) were prepared by precipitation polymerization of methacrylated dextran (DEXMA), 2-aminoethylmethacrylate (AEMA) and N,N'-bis(acryloyl)cystamine (BAC), and then loaded with methotrexate (MTX). Nanogels were spherical and exhibited homogeneous size distribution (460nm, PDI<0.30) as observed using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). DEX-SS were sensitive to the variations of pH and redox environment. Nanogels incubated in buffer pH 5.0 containing 10mM glutathione (GSH) synergistically increased the mean diameter and the PDI to 750nm and 0.42, respectively. In vitro release experiments were performed at pH 7.4 and 5.0 with and without GSH. The cumulative release of MTX in pH 5.0 medium with 10mMGSH was 5-fold higher than that recorded at pH 7.4 without GSH. Fibroblasts and tumor cells were used to tests the effects of blank DEX-SS and MTX@DEX-SS nanogels on cell viability. Remarkable influence of pH on nanogels internalization into HeLa cells was evidenced by means of confocal microscopy and flow cytometry.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are novel drug delivery systems that have been attracting more and more attention in recent years, and have been used for the treatment of cancer, infection, inflammation and other diseases. Among the numerous classes of materials employed for constructing NPs, organic polymers are outstanding due to the flexibility of design and synthesis and the ease of modification and functionalization. In particular, NP based amphiphilic polymers make a great contribution to the delivery of poorly-water soluble drugs. For example, natural, biocompatible and biodegradable products like polysaccharides are widely used as building blocks for the preparation of such drug delivery vehicles. This review will detail carbohydrate based amphiphilic polymeric systems for cancer therapy. Specifically, it focuses on the nature of the polymer employed for the preparation of targeted nanocarriers, the synthetic methods, as well as strategies for the application and evaluation of biological activity. Applications of the amphiphilic polymer systems include drug delivery, gene delivery, photosensitizer delivery, diagnostic imaging and specific ligand-assisted cellular uptake. As a result, a thorough understanding of the relationship between chemical structure and biological properties facilitate the optimal design and rational clinical application of the resulting carbohydrate based nano delivery systems for cancer therapy.

Abstract
We here report smart hyaluronidase-actived theranostic nanoparticles based on hyaluronic acid (HA) coupled with chlorin e6 (Ce6) via adipic dihydrazide (ADH) forming HA-ADH-Ce6 conjugates and self-assembling into HACE NPs. The resulting nanoparticles showed stable nano-structure in aqueous condition with uniform size distribution and can be actively disassembled in the presence of hyaluronidase (over-expressed in tumor cells), exhibiting hyaluronidase-responsive "OFF/ON" behavior of fluorescence signal. The HACE NPs were rapidly taken up to human lung cancer cells A549 via CD44 (the HA receptor on the surface of tumor cells) receptor mediated endocytosis. Upon laser irradiation, the HACE NPs realized good near-infrared fluorescence imaging and photoacoustic imaging in the tumor bearing mice, which showed 5-fold higher fluorescence intensity and 3-fold higher photoacoustic (PA) intensity than free Ce6, respectively. In addition, under low dose of laser power, the HACE NPs presented more effective photodynamic therapy to suppression of tumor growth than free Ce6 in vitro and in vivo. Overall, these results suggest that the well-defined HACE NPs is a biocompatible theranostic nanoplatform for in vivo dual-modal tumor imaging and phototherapy simultaneously.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are natural biological molecules that have numerous advantages for theranostics, the integrated approach of therapeutics and diagnostics. Their derivable reactive groups can be leveraged for functionalization with a nanoparticle-enabling conjugate, therapeutics (small molecules, proteins, peptides, photosensitizers) and/or diagnostic agents (imaging agents, sensors). In addition, polysaccharides are diverse in size and charge, biodegradable and abundant and show low toxicity in vivo. Polysaccharide-based nanoparticles are increasingly being used as platforms for simultaneous drug delivery and imaging and are therefore becoming popular theranostic nanoparticles. The review focuses on the method of nanoparticle formation (self-assembled, physical or chemical cross-linked) when engineering polysaccharide-based nanoparticles for theranostic nanomedicine. We highlight recent examples of polysaccharide-based theranostic systems from literature and their potential for use in the clinic, particularly chitosan- and hyaluronic acid-based NPs.

Abstract
A unique matrix metalloproteinase 2-targeted photosensitizer delivery platform was developed in this study for tumor-targeting imaging and photodynamic therapy. The model photosensitizer therapeutic agent chlorin e6 (Ce6) was first covalently conjugated with matrix metalloproteinase 2-cleavable polypeptide and then modified with polyethylene glycol via a redox-responsive cleavable disulfide linker. The resultant matrix metalloproteinase 2-cleavable polypeptide modified PEGylated Ce6 (PEG-SS-Ce6-MMP2) nanoparticles, which formed via self-assembly, were observed to be monodisperse and significantly stable in aqueous solution. In addition, owing to their cellular redox-responsiveness at the cleavable disulfide linker, the PEG-SS-Ce6-MMP2 nanoparticles were able to release Ce6 rapidly. Despite displaying enhanced intracellular internalization, the synthesized PEG-SS-Ce6-MMP2 nanoparticles did not compromise their phototoxic effects toward A549 cancer cells when compared with free Ce6 and PEGylated Ce6 nanoparticles. In vivo experiments further revealed that, in contrast with the free Ce6 or with the PEGylated Ce6 nanoparticles, the PEG-SS-Ce6-MMP2 nanoparticles showed a remarkable increase in tumor-targeting ability and a significantly improved photodynamic therapeutic efficiency in A549 tumor-bearing mice. These results suggest that the PEG-SS-Ce6-MMP2 nanoparticles hold great potential for tumor-targeting imaging and photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
The development of visual tumor theranostic nanoparticles has become a great challenge. In this study, d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) was conjugated to acid-sensitive cis-aconitic anhydride-modified doxorubicin (CAD) to obtain pH-sensitive anti-tumor prodrug nanoparticles (TCAD NPs) via self-assembling. Subsequently, the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) was loaded into the resulting prodrug nanoparticles to prepare a novel tumor near-infrared fluorescence imaging and chemo-photodynamic combination therapy system (TCAD@Ce6 NPs). An accelerated release of doxorubicin (DOX) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) from the TCAD@Ce6 NPs could be achieved due to the hydrolysis of the acid-sensitive amide linker under mild acidic conditions (pH = 5.5). An in vitro experiment showed that A549 lung cancer cells exhibited a significantly higher uptake of DOX and Ce6 by using our delivery system than the free form of DOX and Ce6. An in vivo experiment showed that TCAD@Ce6 NPs displayed better tumor targeting gathering through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect than free Ce6, thus improving fluorescence imaging. Moreover, the chemo-photodynamic combination therapy of TCAD@Ce6 NPs combined with near-infrared laser irradiation was confirmed to be capable of inducing high apoptosis and necrosis of tumor cells (A549) in vitro and to display a significantly higher tumor growth suppression in the A549 lung cancer-bearing mice model. Furthermore, compared with exclusive chemotreatment (DOX) or photodynamic treatment (Ce6), our system showed enhanced therapeutic effects both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, the high performance TCAD@Ce6 NPs can be used as a promising NIR fluorescence imaging and highly effective chemo-photodynamic system for theranostics of lung cancer, etc. in the near future.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as an emerging clinically approved modality, has been used for treatment of various cancer diseases. Conventional PDT strategies are mainly focused on superficial lesions because the wavelength of illumination light of most clinically approved photosensitizers (PSs) is located in the UV/VIS range that possesses limited tissue penetration ability, leading to ineffective therapeutic response for deep-seated tumors. The combination of PDT and nanotechnology is becoming a promising approach to fight against deep tumors. Here, the rapid development of new PDT modalities based on various smartly designed nanocomposites integrating with conventionally used PSs for deep tumor treatments is introduced. Until now many types of multifunctional nanoparticles have been studied, and according to the source of excitation energy they can be classified into three major groups: near infrared (NIR) light excited nanomaterials, X-ray excited scintillating/afterglow nanoparticles, and internal light emission excited nanocarriers. The in vitro and in vivo applications of these newly developed PDT modalities are further summarized here, which highlights their potential use as promising nano-agents for deep tumor therapy.

Abstract
Lack of effective treatment results in the low survival for patients with pancreatic cancer, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) with photosensitizers has emerged as an effective therapeutic option for treatment of various tumors by light-generated cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce cell apoptosis or necrosis. However, the poor solubility, rapid blood clearance, and weak internalization of the photosensitizer seriously inhibit its anticancer efficacy. To overcome these obstacles, a polyphosphoester-based nanocarrier (NP-PPE) is employed as the carrier of the hydrophobic photosensitizer, chlorin e6 (Ce6), for photodynamic therapy. The Ce6-encapsulated nanocarrier (NP-PPE/Ce6) significantly promoted the cellular internalization of Ce6, enhanced the generation of ROS in the tumor cells after irradiation. Therefore, the cellular phototoxicity of NP-PPE/Ce6 against BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells was markedly enhanced than that of free Ce6 in vitro. Furthermore, NP-PPE/Ce6 improved accumulation of Ce6 in tumor tissue and treatment with NP-PPE/Ce6 significantly enhanced antitumor efficacy in human BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer xenografts. These results suggest that using a polyphosphoester-based nanocarrier as the delivery system for a photosensitizer has great potential for PDT of pancreatic cancer.
