Abstract
Copper sulfide based phototherapy, including photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy, is an emerging minimally invasive treatment of tumor, which the light was converted to heat or reactive oxygen to kill the tumor cells. Compared with conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy, Cu2-x S based phototherapy is more efficient and has fewer side effects. However, considering the dose-dependent toxicity of Cu2-x S, the performance of Cu2-x S based phototherapy still cannot meet the requirement of the clinical application to now. To overcome this limitation, engineering of Cu2-x S to improve the phototherapy performance by increasing light absorption has attracted extensive attention. For better guidance of Cu2-x S engineering, we outline the currently engineering method being explored, including (1) structural engineering, (2) compositional engineering, (3) functional engineering, and (4) performance engineering. Also, the relationship between the engineering method and phototherapy performance was discussed in this review. In addition, the further development of Cu2-x S based phototherapy is prospected, including smart materials based phototherapy, phototherapy induced immune microenvironment modulation et al. This review will provide new ideas and opportunities for engineering of Cu2-x S with better phototherapy performance. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Multi-modal synergistic therapy, especially the integration of near-infrared laser phototherapies and chemotherapy, is often sought after owing to its minimal invasiveness, low side effects, and improved anticancer therapeutic efficacy. Herein, CuS nanoparticles were first coated with zinc phthalocyanine derivant (Pc)-functionalized mesoporous silica (mSiO2-Pc) to achieve a drug delivery system (CuS@mSiO2-Pc) with photothermal/photodynamic therapy. Chemical drug DOX was subsequently loaded for chemotherapy, and hyaluronic acid (HA) was employed as a covering material with cancer targeting. The as-obtained CuS@mSiO2-Pc(DOX)@HA nanoparticles were nano-sized with good biocompatibility, effective DOX loading, and controllable DOX releasing. Expectedly, this multifunctional nanoplatform exhibits effective generation of reactive oxygen species and hyperthermia upon the near-infrared laser irradiation. Most importantly, the nanoparticles were targeted into 4T1 cells and showed significantly remarkable cytotoxicity under near-infrared laser irradiation, proving their synergistic therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, this targeted drug system based on CuS with synergistic photothermal therapy/photodynamic therapy/chemotherapy has great application prospects in clinical anticancer treatment for triple negative breast cancer.

A Polyoxometalate-Encapsulated Metal-Organic Framework Nanoplatform for Synergistic Photothermal-Chemotherapy and Anti-Inflammation of Ovarian Cancer. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27238350. [PMID: 36500444 PMCID: PMC9738349 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27238350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT), as a noninvasive and local treatment, has emerged as a promising anti-tumor strategy with minimal damage to normal tissue under spatiotemporally controllable irradiation. However, the necrosis of cancer cells during PTT will induce an inflammatory reaction, which may motivate tumor regeneration and resistance to therapy. In this study, polyoxometalates and a chloroquine diphosphate (CQ) co-loaded metal-organic framework nanoplatform with hyaluronic acid coating was constructed for efficient ovarian cancer therapy and anti-inflammation. Our results demonstrated that this nanoplatform not only displayed considerable photothermal therapeutic capacity under 808 nm near-infrared laser, but also had an impressive anti-inflammatory capacity by scavenging reactive oxygen species in the tumor microenvironment. CQ with pH dependence was used for the deacidification of lysosomes and the inhibition of autophagy, cutting off a self-protection pathway induced by cell necrosis-autophagy, and achieving the synergistic treatment of tumors. Therefore, we combined the excellent properties of these materials to synthesize a nanoplatform and explored its therapeutic effects in various aspects. This work provides a promising novel prospect for PTT/anti-inflammation/anti-autophagy combinations for efficient ovarian cancer treatment through the fine tuning of material design.

NANOSCALE RESEARCH LETTERS 2022; 17:33. [PMID: 35258742 PMCID: PMC8904679 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-022-03674-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/27/2022] [Indexed: 05/02/2023]
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizes photosensitizers (PSs) to produce reactive oxygen species (ROSs) upon irradiation, which causes the shutdown of vessels and deprives the tumor of nutrients and oxygen, and in turn induces adverse effects on the immune system. However, significant efforts are needed to increase the efficiency in PDT in terms of light delivery to specific PSs for the clinical treatment of tumors located deep under the skin. Even though PDT offers a disease site-specific treatment modality, current efforts are directed to improve the solubility (in body fluids and injectable solvents), photostability, amphiphilicity (for tissue penetration), elimination, and systemic toxicity of traditional PSs based on porphyrin derivatives. Nanostructured materials show promising features to achieve most of such combined efforts. They can be artificially engineered to carry multiple theranostic agents onto targeted tumor sites. However, recent studies on photosensitive Cd-based nanostructures, mostly used in PDT, indicate that leeching of Cd2+ ions is stimulated when they are exposed to harsh biological conditions for continuous periods of time, thus making them acutely toxic and hindering their applications in in vivo settings. Since nanostructured materials are not completely immune to degradation, great strides have been made to seek new alternatives. In this review, we focus on the latest advances of Cd-free nanostructured metal transition sulfides (MTSs) as alternative PSs and study their high-energy transfer efficiency, rational designs, and potential applications in cancer-targeted PDT. Nanostructured MTSs are discussed in the context of their versatility to serve as phototherapy agents and superior properties, including their strong absorption in the NIR region, excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, controlled reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, versatile surface chemistry, high fluorescence, and structural and thermal stability. We discuss the latest advancements in correlating the self-aggregation of MTSs with their passive tumor cell targeting, highlighting their ability to efficiently produce ROSs, and mitigating their dark toxicity through polymeric functionalization. Treatment of deep-seated tumors by using these PSs upon preferential uptake by tumor tissues (due to the enhanced permeability and retention effect) is also reviewed. We finally summarize the main future perspectives of MTSs as next-generation PSs within the context of cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment with strong potential over well-established standard therapies in certain cases. Non-ionising radiation, localisation, possible repeated treatments, and stimulation of immunological response are some of the main beneficial features of PDT. Despite the great potential, its application remains challenging. Limited light penetration depth, non-ideal photosensitisers, complex dosimetry, and complicated implementations in the clinic are some limiting factors hindering the extended use of PDT. To surpass actual technological paradigms, radically new sources, light-based devices, advanced photosensitisers, measurement devices, and innovative application strategies are under extensive investigation. The main aim of this review is to highlight the advantages/pitfalls, technical challenges and opportunities of PDT, with a focus on technologies for light activation of photosensitisers, such as light sources, delivery devices, and systems. In this vein, a broad overview of the current status of superficial, interstitial, and deep PDT modalities-and a critical review of light sources and their effects on the PDT process-are presented. Insight into the technical advancements and remaining challenges of optical sources and light devices is provided from a physical and bioengineering perspective.

Abstract
Tissue damage caused by hyperthermia during photothermal therapy (PTT) has largely limited its clinical applications for implant infection. However, rescue of tissue regeneration by conjugating orthobiologics with PTT has been problematic as they can easily deactivate biologics while eradicating bacteria. Herein, we report an orthobiologics-free strategy to synergistically couple photocatalytic antibacterial with pro-osteogenic capacity via self-assembly of copper sulphide nanoparticle (CuS NP) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on implant surface. This strategy not only offers enhanced photothermal effects for bacterial eradiation via near-infrared light (NIR), but also promotes vascularized osseointegration via cooperation of copper ion with rGO. In vitro and in vivo data showed that coupling CuS and rGO synergistically increased antibacterial efficacy of implants by 40 times and successfully destroyed bacterial biofilm upon NIR. Moreover, CuS/rGO decorated surface substantially improved bone marrow stromal cell adhesion, proliferation, as well as subsequent differentiation toward osteoblast. We also revealed that enhanced peri-implant vascularization may be attributed to the sustained release of copper ion from CuS NPs, which further collaborated with rGO to promote vascularized osseointegration. Altogether, this novel orthobiologics-free approach offers a practical alternative to circumvent the intrinsic drawbacks of PTT and endows powerful antibacterial and pro-osteogenic capacities for implant associated infections.

Abstract
Rational design of biocompatible nanoplatforms simultaneously realizing multimodal imaging and therapeutic functions is meaningful to cancer treatment. Herein, the MoS2-CuO heteronanocomposites are designed by integrating semiconductor CuO and flower-like MoS2 via a two-step hydrothermal method. After loading bovine serum albumin (BSA) and immunoadjuvant imiquimod (R837), the obtained MoS2-CuO@BSA/R837 (MCBR) nanoplatforms realize the excellent computed tomography/infrared thermal/magnetic resonance multi-mode bioimaging as well as significantly enhanced antitumor efficacy of synergetic photothermal therapy (PTT)/chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/immunotherapy. In this nanoplatform, the semiconductor CuO exhibits peroxidase-like activity, which can react with over-expressed H2O2 in tumor microenvironment (TME) to generate OH for CDT via Haber-Weiss and Fenton-like reactions. And this process can be further accelerated by the generated heat of MoS2 under 808 nm laser irradiation. More importantly, the obtained multifunctional MCBR nanoplatforms under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation would destroy tumor cells to generate tumor associated antigens (TAAs), which combine with R837 as an adjuvant to trigger strong antitumor immune responses for effectively eliminating primary tumors and metastatic tumors.

Abstract
Cancer therapy is one of the most important challenges in clinical medicine. So far different methods have been developed for cancer therapy, such as radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy. Here we propose a new concept for cancer therapy, i.e., killing the cancer cells simply via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by TiO2-Pd/graphene composites. Activated by animal heat of 37 °C, the electrons in the valence band can be excited to the conduction band of TiO2 via the energy levels of Pd species and graphene, generating ROS without light irradiation or electric excitation. The tumors in BALB/c mice are successfully regressed at animal heat without any other external conditions, such as radiation, UV, visible and IR irradiation. Our results suggest that the design of animal heat activated cancer therapy is a feasible concept for practical applications of cancer treatments.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance has already been recognized as one of the greatest threats to human beings' health, and thus it is highly desirable to develop new bactericidal approaches. The photothermal antibacterial process based on the photo-to-thermal conversion using semiconducting materials is currently extensively studied owing to its high efficiency, long durability and environmental benignity. In this study, we fabricated copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticle-decorated graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets, denoted as the PEG-CuS@g-C3N4 nanocomposite, via a simple hydrothermal process. Materials characterization showed that CuS nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on the surface of g-C3N4 without agglomeration. Moreover, the nanocomposite exhibited excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (up to 59.64%) due to its strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption characteristics. The antibacterial efficiency evaluation indicated that the PEG-CuS@g-C3N4 nanocomposite could effectively kill the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and the Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli). We found that up to 99% of both S. aureus and E. coli could be killed in a 200 μg ml-1 PEG-CuS@g-C3N4 suspension within 20 min of NIR irradiation. Moreover, the cytotoxicity of the PEG-CuS@g-C3N4 nanocomposite was evaluated using the mouse skin fibroblast NIH-3T3 cells, and the nanocomposite was found to display acceptable biocompatibility. We believe that the PEG-CuS@g-C3N4 nanocomposite is of significant interest for rapid bacteria-killing, and would gain promising applications for sterilization.

Abstract
Epitaxially growing a semiconductor shell on the surface of upconversion nanocrystals to form a core/shell structure is believed to be a promising strategy to improve the luminescent efficiency of lanthanide ions doped in particle cores and, meanwhile, enriches the optical properties of the resulting nanocrystals. However, liquid-phase synthesis of such core/shell-structured nanocrystals comprised of a lanthanide ion-doped core and semiconductor shell remains challenging because of the chemical incompatibilities between lanthanides and the most intermediate gap semiconductors. In this context, the successful growth of ZnS shell on a KMnF3 core codoped with Yb3+/Er3+ ions is reported to enhance the upconversion luminescence of Er3+ ions. The underlying core/shell formation mechanism is elucidated in detail combining the hard-soft acid-base theory with structural analysis of the resulting nanocrystals. Quite unexpectedly, Mn2+ diffusion across the core/shell interface occurs during ZnS shell growth, giving rise to Mn2+ emission from the ZnS shell. Thus, the resulting core/shell particles exhibited unique up/downconversion luminescence from doped lanthanide metal ions and transition-metal ions, respectively. By manipulating the ion diffusion and shell growth kinetics, the upconversion and downconversion luminescent performance of KMnF3:Yb,Er@ZnS nanocrystals are further optimized and the related mechanisms are discussed. Further, temperature-dependent upconversion and downconversion photoluminescence properties of KMnF3:Yb,Er@ZnS nanocrystals show potential for ratiometric luminescence temperature sensing.

Abstract
Similar to translated thermal ablative techniques in clinic, the occurrence of cellular necrosis during tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) would induce inflammatory responses that are detrimental to therapeutic outcomes. Inspired by the well-known colorimetric Folin-Ciocalteu assay, monodispersed and renal-clearable tungsten (W)-based polyoxometalate nanoclusters (W-POM NCs, average diameter of around 2.0 nm) were successfully obtained here through a facile redox reaction with natural gallic acid in alkaline aqueous solution. Apart from excellent stability in the form of freeze-dried powder, the as-prepared W-POM NCs occupied considerable biocompatibility toward normal cells/tissues both in vitro and in vivo, since no obvious toxicities were observed by treating female Balb/c mice with concentrated W-POM NCs during the 30 day post-treatment period. More importantly, W-POM NCs exhibited not only considerable near-infrared (NIR) light absorption (coloration effect originated from the existence of electron-trapped W5+) for efficient PTT but also impressive anti-inflammatory ability (eliminating inflammation-related reactive oxygen species by the oxidation of W5+ into W6+ state) to achieve better therapeutic outcomes. Thus, our study pioneers the application of POMs for non-inflammatory PTT with expected safety and efficiency.

Abstract
Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs), emerging nanoplatforms with dual diagnostic and therapeutic applications, are being actively investigated in this era of "war on cancer" owing to their versatility and adaptability. This article discusses the pros and cons of using CuS NPs in diagnostics, therapeutics, and theranostics. The first section introduces CuS NPs and discusses the features that render them more advantageous than other established nanoplatforms in cancer management. Subsequent sections include specific in vitro and in vivo results of different studies showing the potential of CuS NPs as nanoplatforms. Methods used for visualization (photoacoustic imaging and magnetic resonance imaging) of CuS NPs and treatment (phototherapy and combinatorial therapy) have also been discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and opportunities associated with using CuS NPs have been elucidated. Further investigations on CuS NPs are required to translate it for clinical applications.

Abstract
Herein, a novel multifunctional nanoplatform was designed toward multimodality imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT). It was found that Bi nanoparticles could grow in situ on the surface of NaYF4:20%Yb,2%Er@NaYF4:40%Yb@NaGdF4 core-shell nanoparticles (labeled as UCNPs). In this structure, UCNPs were mainly employed as an upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging agent, whereas the Bi nanoparticles worked as an effective CT imaging and photothermal agent. Importantly, a dense SiO2 shell was employed to protect the Bi nanoparticles from oxidation, and it also endowed the nanoplatform with excellent hydrophilic ability. The effective UCL/CT imaging and PTT performances were emphasized by a series of in vivo experiments, which suggest that the integrated nanoplatform with imaging and therapy functions shows great promise in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Synergistic thermo-chemotherapy based multiple stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems have achieved significant improvement of cancer curative effects compared with single modality treatment. Nevertheless, the efficacy of thermo-chemotherapy is often reduced in drug-resistant tumors and the therapy method is unexpectedly associated with potential toxicity by utilizing poorly degradable materials. Here, we report a simple approach to encapsulate three drug payloads into multi-sensitive and degradable nanospheres (SDC@NS) to achieve anticancer effects. SDC@NS comprise a photothermal agent (cypate), an anticancer agent (doxorubicin), and a nitric oxide donor (SNAP) to achieve controllable drugs release in high concentration glutathione or under near-infrared light (NIR) irradiation. Hyperthermia from NIR-mediated cypate can accelerate cancer cell apoptosis in vitro and tumor tissue ablation in vivo. Furthermore, our results also confirmed that the nitric oxide-based SDC@NS showed significant cytotoxicity compared to the nitric oxide absent group (denoted as DC@NS) and an enhanced chemotherapy effect in vivo. The photothermal effect and payloads can synchronously realize cancer therapy and provide a new insight into the enhanced synergistic therapeutic effect.

Abstract
This work reports new findings on the formation of a pearl-necklace pattern in self-assembled upconverting nanocrystals (UCN-PNs) which exhibit strong upconversion emission under an NIR excitation source of a femtosecond laser (Fs-laser). Each nano-necklace consists of several upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) having a size ca. 10 ± 1 nm. UCN-PNs are arranged in a self-organized manner to form necklace type chains with an average length of 140 nm of a single row of nanoparticles. Furthermore, UCN-PNs are comprised of UCNPs with an average interparticle separation of ca. 4 nm in each of the nanonecklace chains. Interestingly, these UCN-PNs exhibit high energy upconversion especially in the UV region on interaction with a 140 Fs-laser pulse duration at 80 MHz repetition rate and intense blue emission at 450 nm on interaction with a 900 nm excitation source is obtained. The preparation of self-assembled UCNPs is easy and they are very stable for a longer period of time. The emission (fluorescence/luminescence) intensity is very high which can make them unique in innumerable industrial and bio-applications such as for disease diagnosis and therapeutic applications by targeting the infected cells with enhanced efficiency.

Among the foreseeable therapeutic approaches at the cellular level, nanoplatform-driven photothermal therapy is a thriving tool for the selective eradication of malignant tissues with minimal side effects to healthy ones. Hence, chemically versatile, near-infrared absorbing plasmonic nanoparticles are distinctly appealing and most sought after as efficient photothermal agents. In this work, a straightforward method to synthesize monodisperse PEGylated copper sulfide nanoparticles of pure covellite (CuS) phase, featuring strong localized surface plasmonic resonance absorption in the near-infrared and flexible surface chemistry, imparted by monomethyl ether polyethylene glycol molecules, is developed and optimized. These nanoparticles show a remarkable photothermal heat conversion efficiency (HCE) of 71.4%, which is among the highest for CuS systems and rivals that of plasmonic noble metal nanostructures. Moreover, through critical evaluation and mathematical modeling of the material's properties and measurement methodology, it is assessed that the calculated HCE values drastically depend on experimental conditions such as wavelength-dependent solvent absorption properties, sol concentration, and optical path. These findings are of paramount relevance to the photothermal community, since they call for a standardization of the procedure for the evaluation of the HCE of proposed photothermal agents, in order to make the reported values universally and reliably comparable.

Abstract
To surmount the challenges of limited drug penetration and therapeutic resistance in solid tumors, stimuli-responsive nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) with relatively small sizes are inherently favorable for combined treatment of cancerous cells. In this work, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) functionalized Co0.85Se nanoparticles (PAA-Co0.85Se NPs) were synthesized through an ambient aqueous precipitating approach for synergistic photothermal-chemo treatment of cancer. The obtained PAA-Co0.85Se NPs possess ultrasmall size (8.2 ± 2.6 nm), considerable near-infrared (NIR) light absorption, high photothermal transforming efficiency (45.2%) and low cytotoxicity, all of which are beneficial for localized photothermal ablation of cancer cells. Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl) was then successfully loaded on PAA-Co0.85Se NPs with a loading capacity up to 8.3% to form PAA-Co0.85Se-DOX composites, which exhibited an exciting acidic pH-responsive drug release property due to the protonation of amino groups in DOX and carboxyl groups in PAA molecules. As expected, when HeLa cells were treated with PAA-Co0.85Se-DOX NPs as well as NIR laser irradiation, a significant synergistic cell-killing effect was observed, greatly improving the treatment efficiency. Thus, this work presents novel insight into the design of ultrasmall stimuli-responsive nanocarrier-based DDSs for synergistic photothermal-chemo treatment of cancer cells.
