Abstract
An Exendin-4 analogue that was conjugated with 68Ga exhibited an excellent diagnostic effect on insulinoma in clinical practice. On account of its low molecular weight and short hydration radius, 68Ga-Exendin-4 showed high accumulation in kidney tissues. Nanoparticle-mediated strategies have attracted much attention due to polyvalent properties and the size amplification effect. In this study, Exendin-4 derivatives of radionuclide nanodevices were developed and evaluated. The Exendin-4 derivatives consisting of a ternary block recombinant protein were purified by an inverse transition cycle (ITC) and allowed to self-assemble into a nanodevice under physiological conditions. Our results showed that the nanoassemblies of Exendin-4 derivatives formed homogeneous spherical nanoparticles, exhibited outstanding affinity for insulinoma cells, and could be deposited in insulinoma tissues in vivo. The nanoassembly-mediated Exendin-4 derivatives showed fivefold reduced renal retention and exhibited an outstanding tumor-suppression effect.

Self-Assembled Acid-Responsive Nanosystem for Synergistic Anti-Angiogenic/Photothermal/Ferroptosis Therapy against Esophageal Cancer. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2302787.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer (EC) treatment via anti-angiogenic therapy faces challenges due to non-cytotoxicity and non-specific biodistribution of the anti-angiogenic agents. Hence, the quest for a synergistic treatment modality and a targeted delivery approach to effectively address EC has become imperative. In this study, an acid-responsive release nanosystem (Bev-IR820@FeIII TA) that involves the conjugation of bevacizumab, an anti-angiogenic monoclonal antibody, with TA and Fe3+ to form a metal-phenolic network, followed by loading with the near-infrared photothermal agent (IR820) to achieve combinational therapy, is designed. The construction of Bev-IR820@FeIII TA can be realized through a facile self-assembly process. The Bev-IR820@FeIII TA exhibits tumor-targeting capabilities and synergistic therapeutic effects, encompassing anti-angiogenic therapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), and ferroptosis therapy (FT). Bev-IR820@FeIII TA exhibits remarkable proficiency in delivering drugs to EC tissue through its pH-responsive release properties. Consequently, bevacizumab exerts its therapeutic effects by obstructing tumor angiogenesis, thereby impeding tumor growth. Meanwhile, PTT facilitates localized thermal ablation at the tumor site, directly eradicating EC cells. FT synergistically collaborates with PTT, giving rise to the formation of a reactive oxygen species (ROS) storm, subsequently culminating in the demise of EC cells. In summary, this amalgamated treatment modality carries substantial promise for synergistically impeding EC progression and showcases auspicious prospects for future EC treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignancy with the second highest mortality and the third highest morbidity worldwide. However, the overall survival of patients is unsatisfactory, thus requiring more effective clinical strategies. Celastrol (CLT), a natural bioactive compound, has been reported to induce reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated apoptosis to exhibit significant antitumor effects against CRC. However, the poor water solubility, low targeting ability, and bioavailability of CLT have limited its application, and CLT-induced protective autophagy weakens its therapeutic efficiency. RESULTS We designed a targeted chemo-phototherapy nanoplatform (HCR NPs) to improve the application of CLT. The codelivery of IR820 and CLT in HCR NPs solved the water-soluble problem of CLT and enhanced apoptosis via IR820-mediated hyperthermia. In addition, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) conjugated to hyaluronic acid (HA) not only increased the active targeting of HCR NPs but also inhibited CLT-induced protective autophagy to exacerbate apoptosis, thus achieving an amplified antitumor effect. Importantly, the HCR NPs exhibited an excellent therapeutic effect on CRC both in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSION The HCR NPs presented in this study may not merely provide a new reference for the clinical application of CLT but also result in an attractive strategy for CRC treatment.

Abstract
Chemo-photodynamic therapy shows great potential for cancer treatment. However, the rational integration of chemotherapeutic agents and photosensitizers to construct an intelligent nanoplatform with synergistic therapeutic effect is still a great challenge. In this work, curcumin-loaded reduction-responsive prodrug nanoparticles of new indocyanine green (Cur@IR820-ss-PEG) were developed for synergistic cancer chemo-photodynamic therapy. Cur@IR820-ss-PEG exhibit high drug loading content and special worm-like morphology, contributing to their efficient cellular uptake. Due to the presence of the disulfide bond between IR820 and PEG, Cur@IR820-ss-PEG display reduction responsive drug release behaviors. The efficient cellular uptake and reduction triggered drug release of Cur@IR820-ss-PEG lead to their enhanced in vitro cytotoxicity against 4T1cells as compared to the mixture of IR820 and curcumin (IR820/Cur) under laser irradiation. Besides, Cur@IR820-ss-PEG exhibit prolonged blood half-life time, better tumor accumulation and retention, enhanced tumor hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) suppression effect as compared to IR820/Cur. In vivo antitumor activity study, Cur@IR820-ss-PEG effectively inhibit the tumor angiogenesis, which potentiates the PDT efficacy and leads to the best in vivo antitumor effect of Cur@IR820-ss-PEG. This work provides a novel and relatively simple strategy for synergistic cancer chemo-photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
The use of biodegradable nanopolymers in agriculture offers an excellent alternative for the efficient delivery of agrochemicals that promote plant protection and development. However, tracking of these systems inside plants requires complex probe tagging strategies. In addition to providing a basis for better understanding such nanostructures to optimize delivery system design, these probes allow monitoring the migration of nanoparticles through plant tissues, and determine accumulation sites. Thus, these probes are powerful tools that can be used to quantify and visualize nanoparticle accumulation in plant cells and tissues. This review is an overview of the methods involved in labeling nanocarriers, mainly based on polymeric matrices, for the delivery of nanoagrochemicals and the recent advances in this field.

Abstract
Proteins have been widely used in the biomedical field because of their well-defined architecture, accurate molecular weight, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, and easy-to-functionalization. Inspired by the wisdom of nature, increasing proteins/peptides that possess self-assembling capabilities have been explored and designed to generate nanoassemblies with unique structure and function, including spatially organized conformation, passive and active targeting, stimuli-responsiveness, and high stability. These characteristics make protein/peptide-based nanoassembly an ideal platform for drug delivery and vaccine development. In this review, we focus on recent advances in subsistent protein/peptide-based nanoassemblies, including protein nanocages, virus-like particles, self-assemblable natural proteins, and self-assemblable artificial peptides. The origin and characteristics of various protein/peptide-based assemblies and their applications in drug delivery and vaccine development are summarized. In the end, the prospects and challenges are discussed for the further development of protein/peptide-based nanoassemblies.

Abstract
Tumor killing and wound healing are two complementary and influential processes during the treatment of melanoma. Herein, a two-layered microneedle platform was developed with bifunctional effect of chemo-photothermal synergistic melanoma therapy and skin regeneration. The bifunctional platform composed of embeddable curcumin nanodrugs/new Indocyanine Green/hyaluronic acid (Cur NDs/IR820/HA) microneedles and sodium alginate/gelatin/hyaluronic acid (SA/Ge/HA) supporting backing layer was prepared through a two-step casting process. With uniform incorporation of curcumin nanodrugs and IR820, the microneedles exhibited excellent photothermal performance under external near-infrared (NIR) light stimulation and tumor co-therapy ability. Once the embeddable microneedles were inserted into skin, they would rapidly dissolve and activate drug release successfully for tumor treatment. Moreover, the SA/Ge/HA supporting backing layer was left behind to cover the wound and promote the proliferation of endothelial and fibroblasts cells for enhanced skin regeneration. The two-layered microneedles platform can simultaneously eliminate the tumor and accelerate wounding healing, which may be potentially employed as a competitive strategy for the treatment of melanoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is a cysteine-rich growth factor, and plays a key role in early bone tissue development and bone defect repair. However, the low yield, high cost and complicated process in the production process of BMP significantly limit its clinical application. OBJECTIVE In this study, we developed an efficient method for soluble expression and preparation of recombinant human bone morphogenetic 7-2 fusion protein (rhBMP7-2) and determined its molecular weight and biological activity. METHODS The fusion gene for rhBMP-2 and rhBMP-7 was inserted into the pET-ELP expression vector. Correct DNA sequence was confirmed, the rhBMP7-2-ELP was transformed into Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3), and the rhBMP7-2 was produced in the recombinant E. coli. Recombinant BMP7-2 purify was identified using Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The cell proliferation and biological activity of rhBMP7-2 was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 and Alkaline Phosphatase assay using C2C12 cells, respectively. RESULTS The result of digestion of NdeI, BamHI and XhoI enzymes showed that the rhBMP7-2-ELP was correctly constructed. The recombinat BMP7-2 was successfully expressed in soluble form; the purifed rhBMP7-2 showed biological activity and significantly promoted cell proliferation and differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION The rhBMP7-2 fusion protein with osteogenic activity was prepared through a low-cost and time-efficient method. Our preparation method presents potential to be applied to the large-scale production of rhBMP7-2 and is expected to play a significant role in clinical treatment.

Abstract
Combination nanodrugs are promising therapeutic agents for cancer treatment. However, they often require the use of complex nanovehicles for transportation into the tumor site. Herein, a new class of carrier-free ionic nanomaterials (INMs) is presented, which are self-assembled by the drug molecules themselves. In this regard, a photothermal therapy (PTT) mechanism is combined with a chemotherapy (chemo) mechanism using ionic liquid chemistry to develop a combination drug to deliver multiple cytotoxic mechanisms simultaneously. Nanodrugs were developed from an ionic material-based chemo-PTT combination drug by using a simple reprecipitation method. Detailed examination of the photophysical properties (absorption, fluorescence emission, quantum yield, radiative and non-radiative rate) of the INMs revealed significant spectral changes which are directly related to their therapeutic effect. The reactive oxygen species quantum yield and the light to heat conversion efficiency of the photothermal agents were shown to be enhanced in combination nanomedicines as compared to their respective parent compounds. The ionic nanodrugs exhibited an improved dark and light cytotoxicity in vitro as compared to either the chemotherapeutic or photothermal parent compounds individually, due to a synergistic effect of the combined therapies, improved photophysical properties and their nanoparticles' morphology that enhanced the cellular uptake of the drugs. This study presents a general framework for the development of carrier-free dual-mechanism nanotherapeutics.

Abstract
Most NIR-II fluorescent dyes, especially polymethine cyanine, face the inevitable self-quenching phenomenon in an aqueous solution. This unacceptable property has severely limited their application in high-resolution biological imaging. Here, a NIR-II macromolecular probe (MPAE) is synthesized through the structure modification of molecule probe and the covalent coupling of an amphiphilic polypeptide, which presents considerable biocompatibility and negligible systemic side effect. The molecule probe's stereo structure and the polymer's conjugation could effectively prevent the π-π stacking, thereby exhibiting excellent quenching resistance in aqueous solutions (absolute QY = 0.178%). This remarkable feature endows it with deeper tissue penetration than the clinically used indocyanine green (ICG) and high contrast brightness at the tumor site for the NIR-II fluorescence imaging. Based on the effective accumulation of tumor sites and considerable photothermal conversion efficiency (40.07%), the MPAE-NPS presents superior antitumor efficiency on breast tumor-bearing mice under the 1064 nm irradiation without rebound or recurrence. All these outstanding performances reveal the great promise of MPAE-NPS in Nano-drug delivery and imaging-assisted photothermal therapy in the NIR-II window.

Abstract
In the present work, hydroxyethyl starch-new indocyanine green (HES-IR-820) conjugates were developed for enhanced cancer photodynamic therapy. HES-IR-820 conjugates were prepared by the condensation reaction between IR-820 and amino groups modified HES. HES-IR-820 conjugates with IR-820 loading content of 2.0% (HES-IR-8202.0) and 3.2% (HES-IR-8203.2) were prepared and characterized by 1H NMR, FT-IR, HPLC, and UV-Vis. HES-IR-8202.0 and HES-IR-8203.2 are monomolecular nanosized particles with hydrodynamic diameters of around 10 nm. HES-IR-8202.0 and HES-IR-8203.2 exhibit significantly enhanced stability in pH 7.4 PBS buffer and pH 7.4 PBS buffer containing 10% fetal bovine serum as compared to free IR-820. HES-IR-8202.0 and HES-IR-8203.2 show limited drug release in pH 7.4 and pH 5.0 PBS buffer. HES-IR-8202.0 and HES-IR-8203.2 exhibit enhanced singlet oxygen generation under 808 nm laser irradiation and reduced cellular uptake amount as compared to free IR-820. The cellular uptake pathway study reveals that the lipid raft-mediated endocytosis and macropinocytosis are involved in the cellular uptake of HES-IR-8202.0 and HES-IR-8203.2. Compared to free IR-820, HES-IR-8202.0 and HES-IR-8203.2 show reduced cytotoxicity, enhanced in vitro antitumor effect under 0.3 W/cm2 808 nm laser irradiation, and similar in vitro antitumor effect under 0.6 W/cm2 808 nm laser irradiation. HES-IR-820 conjugates show significant potential for cancer photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Cyanine is a meritorious fluorogenic core for the construction of fluorescent probes and its phototherapeutic potential has been enthusiastically explored as well. Alternatively, the covalent conjugation of cyanine with other potent therapeutic agents not only boosts its therapeutic efficacy but also broadens its therapeutic modality. Herein, we summarize miscellaneous cyanine-therapeutic agent conjugates in cancer theranostics from literature published between 2014 and 2020. The application scenarios of such theranostic cyanine conjugates covered common cancer therapeutic modalities, including chemotherapy, phototherapy and targeted therapy. Besides, cyanine conjugates that serve as nanocarriers for drug delivery are introduced as well. In an additional section, we analyze the potential of these conjugates for clinical translation. Overall, this review is aimed to stimulate research interest in exploring unattempted therapeutic agents and novel conjugation strategies and hopefully, accelerate clinical translation in this field.

Abstract
NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided photothermal therapy is a potential tumor therapeutic that has exhibited accurate diagnosis and noninvasive therapy of tumors. Here, we developed an organic macromolecular nanoparticle (PFD) by encapsulating a fluorophore with an amphiphilic polypeptide. The PFD nanoparticle presented a uniform size of 70 nm with a slightly negative charge and exhibited superior photothermal conversion efficiency (40.69%), thermal imaging ability, and considerable photothermal stability. The PFD nanoparticle could accumulate at the tumor site by an enhanced penetration and retention effect and exhibited satisfactory fluorescence imaging and prominent photothermal inhibition effect. In vivo experiments demonstrated that PFD nanoparticles exhibited a prominent photothermal inhibition effect against the tumor. Meanwhile, the therapeutic procedure was monitored by both NIR-II fluorescence and infrared thermal imaging, which demonstrated that the PFD nanoparticles have a potential application in imaging-guided photothermal therapy of tumors.

Abstract
The bidirectional intelligent regulation of hydrogels is a critical challenge in on-demand functional hydrogels. In this paper, a photo-triggered hydrogel for bidirectional regulation based on IR820-α-cyclodextrin/polyethylene glycol methyl acrylate was developed. This thermosensitive hydrogel can soften from gel to sol under near-infrared irradiation based on the photothermal effect of IR820, while the hydrogel can stiffen based on the photo-crosslinking of polyethylene glycol methyl acrylate under UV laser irradiation. After implanting in vivo, the softness and stiffness of the hydrogel can be regulated in a bidirectional manner by the switching of the irradiation wavelength. Moreover, the location and status of the hydrogel was tracked in vivo by fluorescence imaging due to the fluorescence labeling of IR820. The controlled and visible hydrogel could be potentially applied to different biomedical fields for precise treatment.

Abstract
The synergistic combination of gene therapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) has been widely investigated as a promising strategy for cancer treatment. To deliver genes and photothermal agents simultaneously and accurately to a tumor site, a microneedle (MN) patch co-loaded with p53 DNA and IR820 was fabricated by a two-step casting method. Hyaluronic acid was chosen as a matrix and p53 DNA and IR820 were mainly loaded into the tips to enhance utilization and reduce waste. The MN patch could efficiently penetrate the stratum corneum, and dissolve rapidly to release p53 DNA and IR820 in the subcutaneous tumor site. Due to the efficient photothermal efficacy of IR820, the temperature of the tumor site where the MN patch was applied increased by 14.7 °C under near-infrared light irradiation. The MN patch showed excellent antitumor effects in vivo owing to the synergistic effect of gene therapy and PTT. Consequently, the p53 DNA/IR820 MN patch may be a promising synergistic strategy for subcutaneous tumor treatments.

Abstract
Developing technologies that allow the simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of cancer (theragnostic) has been the quest of numerous interdisciplinary research teams. In this context, nanomaterials incorporating prototypic near infrared (NIR)-light responsive heptamethine cyanines have been showing very promising results for cancer theragnostic. The precisely engineered features of these nanomaterials endow them with the ability to achieve a high tumor accumulation, enabling a tumor's visualization by NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging modalities. Upon interaction with NIR light, the tumor-homed heptamethine cyanine-incorporating nanomaterials can also produce a photothermal/photodynamic effect with a high spatio-temporal resolution and minimal side effects, leading to an improved therapeutic outcome. This progress report analyses the application of nanomaterials incorporating prototypic NIR-light responsive heptamethine cyanines (IR775, IR780, IR783, IR797, IR806, IR808, IR820, IR825, IRDye 800CW, and Cypate) for cancer photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and imaging. Overall, the continuous development of nanomaterials incorporating the prototypic NIR absorbing heptamethine cyanines will cement their phototheragnostic capabilities.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the major diseases that threaten women's health. Lymph node (LN) metastasis is the most common metastatic path of breast cancer. Finding a simple, effective, and safe strategy to eliminate metastatic tumors in LNs is highly desired for clinical use. Carbon nanoparticles (CNs), as an LN tracer, have been widely used in the clinical setting. In addition, previous experiments have confirmed that CNs have good photoacoustic imaging and photothermal effects. In this study, we used CNs as a photothermal conversion material and drug carrier, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) as a film-forming material, and docetaxel as a chemotherapy drug to prepare multifunctional nanoparticles (DOC-CNPs). The prepared DOC-CNPs present as a black solution, which shows smooth spherical particles under light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and they have a good ability for liquid-gas phase transition, good dispersibility, high drug-loading capacity, and low cytotoxicity. In vitro, they can release drugs and inhibit tumor cells after laser irradiation. The photoacoustic (PA) signal intensity and the photothermal conversion efficiency increased with an increase in the concentration of DOC-CNPs. In vivo, after administration, the DOC-CNPs reached the LNs. After laser irradiation, the DOC-CNPs absorbed laser energy, and the temperature of the LNs increased high enough to achieve photothermal therapy under PA and ultrasound monitoring. Fracture of the DOC-CNPs was caused by the liquid-gas phase transition with the increased temperature, and the ruptured DOC-CNPs released docetaxel to achieve targeted chemotherapy. These findings suggested that DOC-CNPs can achieve precise treatment for metastatic LNs of breast cancer with PA and ultrasound visualization.
