Enhanced Eradication of Enterococcus faecalis Biofilms by Quaternized Chitosan-Coated Upconversion Nanoparticles for Photodynamic Therapy in Persistent Endodontic Infections. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:909492.

Abstract
Due to the persistent presence of Enterococcus faecalis biofilms in apical root canals, persistent endodontic infections (PEIs) have always been an intractable disease to solve. The conventional root canal disinfectants (e.g., calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine) are arduous to scavenge the stubborn infection. With the progress of nanomedicine in the biomedical field, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is emerging as a prospective anti-infective therapy for PEIs. Herein, quaternized chitosan (QCh) modified upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP)@SiO2/methylene blue (MB) are developed with enhanced antibacterial/biofilm performance for aPDT in PEIs. QCh is coated on the UCNP@SiO2/MB by testing the changes in diameter, chemical functional group, and charge. Interestingly, QCh also increases the conversion efficiency of UCNP to generate more reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, the prepared UCNP@SiO2/MB@QCh exhibits highly effective antibacterial activity against free E. faecalis and related biofilm in vitro and extracted teeth. Importantly, the additional QCh with positive charges enhance UCNP@SiO2/MB@QCh contact with E. faecalis (negative charges) through electrostatic interaction. Then, UCNP@SiO2/MB@QCh could stick close to the E. faecalis and generate ROS under the irradiation by a 980 nm laser. The in vitro cellular test shows that UCNP@SiO2/MB@QCh has acceptable cytocompatibility. Thus, UCNP@SiO2/MB@QCh could offer a novel strategy for the potential aPDT clinical applications in the treatment of PEIs.

Abstract
As a widely used anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX) could induce cell death mainly via interfering with DNA activity; thus, DOX could perform therapeutic effects mainly in the cell nucleus. However, most of the reported drug delivery systems lacked the well localization in the nucleus and released DOX molecules into the cytoplasm. Due to formidable barriers formed in the nuclear envelope, only around 1% of DOX could reach the nucleus and keep active. Therefore, DOX molecules were inevitably overloaded to achieve the desired therapeutic efficacy, which would induce serious side effects. Herein, we developed a highly localized drug nanocarrier for in situ release of DOX molecules to their action site where they could directly interfere with the DNA activity. In this work, we used cationic polymer-modified upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as the luminescence core and gene carrier, while aptamers served as the DNA nanotrain to load DOX. Finally, the prepared nanotheranostic agent displayed good targetability, high cell apoptosis ratio (93.04%) with quite lower concentration than the LC50 of DOX, and obvious inhibition on tumor growth.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-based photodynamic nanotheranostic agents could address the main drawbacks of photosensitizer molecules (PSs) including instability in aqueous solution and rapid clearance. Due to the relatively weak luminescence intensity of UCNPs and insufficient reactive oxygen species (ROSs), UCNPs-based photodynamic therapy (UCNPs-PDT) was discounted for deep-seated tumors. Thus, we proposed a PSs-modulated sensitizing switch strategy. Indocyanine green (ICG) as an NIR organic dye was proved to effectively enhance the luminescence intensity of UCNPs. Herein, four-color UCNPs were coated with a silica layer which loaded ICG and PSs while the thickness of silica layer was controlled to assist the sensitization function of ICG and activation of PSs. Under the drive of mitochondria-targeting ligand, the prepared nanotheranostic agent would accumulate in the mitochondria where ROSs were in-situ produced and then cell apoptosis was induced. Due to the cooperative PDT and high tissue-penetration depth of NIR laser, the prepared upconversion nanotheranostic agent could achieve significant inhibition on the deep-seated tumors.
