[PMID: 37967695 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023]
Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), as an emerging therapeutic strategy, kills cancer cells by converting intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into cytotoxic oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH). However, the therapeutic efficiency of CDT is compromised due to the insufficient endogenous H2O2 and metal catalysts in tumor cells. The use of multivalent polyphenols with multiple hydroxyl functions provides a facile yet robust means for efficient CDT augmentation. For this purpose, we reported herein the construction of polyphenol-metal nanoparticles (NPs) via a phenol-metal coordination strategy. The uniqueness of this study is the preparation of only one polymer construct with multivalency that can afford various supramolecular interactions for simultaneous "one-pot" loading of different therapeutic species, i.e., doxorubicin (DOX), glucose oxidases (GOD), and Fe3+ and further co-self-assembly into a stabilized nanomedicine for cascade amplified chemo-chemodynamic therapy. Specifically, the tumor intracellular acidic pH-triggered DOX release could serve for chemotherapy as well as enhance the intracellular H2O2 level. Together with the extra H2O2 and gluconic acid produced by the GOD-triggered glucose consumption, DOX@POAD-Fe@GOD NPs promoted Fe3+participation in the Fe-mediated Fenton reaction for cascade amplified chemo-chemodynamic therapy. Notably, this formulation displayed a greater anti-tumor effect with a tumor inhibition ratio 1.6-fold higher than that of free DOX in a BALB/c mice model bearing 4T1 tumors. Overall, the multivalent polyphenol-metal nanoplatform developed herein integrates chemotherapy, starvation therapy, and CDT for synergistic enhanced anticancer efficiency, which shows great potential for clinical translations. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) generally suffers from compromised therapeutic efficiency due to insufficient endogenous H2O2 and metal catalysts in tumor cells. To develop a facile yet robust strategy for efficient CDT augmentation, we reported herein construction of a multivalent polyphenol-metal nanoplatform, DOX@POAD-Fe@GOD nanoparticles (NPs) via a phenol-metal coordination strategy. This nanoplatform integrates multiple supramolecular dynamic interactions not only for simultaneously safe encapsulation of doxorubicin (DOX), Fe3+, and glucose oxidases (GOD), but also for cascade amplified chemo-chemodynamic therapy. Specifically, the intracellular acidic pH-triggered dissociation of DOX@POAD-Fe@GOD NPs promoted the release of Fe3+, DOX, and GOD for significantly increased ROS levels that can accelerate Fenton reactions for cascaded chemotherapy, starvation therapy, and CDT with amplified antitumor efficiency in vivo.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), with its advantages of high targeting, minimally invasive, and low toxicity side effects, has been widely used in the clinical therapy of various tumors, especially superficial tumors. However, the tumor microenvironment (TME) presents hypoxia due to the low oxygen (O2 ) supply caused by abnormal vascularization in neoplastic tissues and high O2 consumption induced by the rapid proliferation of tumor cells. The efficacy of oxygen-consumping PDT can be hampered by a hypoxic TME. To address this problem, researchers have been developing advanced nanoplatforms and strategies to enhance the therapeutic effect of PDT in tumor treatment. This review summarizes recent advanced PDT therapeutic strategies to against the hypoxic TME, thus enhancing PDT efficacy, including increasing O2 content in TME through delivering O2 to the tumors and in situ generations of O2 ; decreasing the O2 consumption during PDT by design of type I photosensitizers. Moreover, recent synergistically combined therapy of PDT and other therapeutic methods such as chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, immunotherapy, and gas therapy is accounted for by addressing the challenging problems of mono PDT in hypoxic environments, including tumor resistance, proliferation, and metastasis. Finally, perspectives of the opportunities and challenges of PDT in future clinical research and translations are provided.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt) drugs are widely used in clinic for cancer therapy, but their therapeutic outcomes are significantly compromised by severe side effects and acquired drug resistance. With the emerging immunotherapy and imaging-guided cancer therapy, precise delivery and release of Pt drugs have drawn great attention these days. The targeting delivery of Pt drugs can greatly increase the accumulation at tumor sites, which ultimately enhances antitumor efficacy. Further, with the combination of Pt drugs and other theranostic agents into one nanosystem, it not only possesses excellent synergistic efficacy but also achieves real-time monitoring. In this review, after the introduction of Pt drugs and their characteristics, the recent progress of polymeric nanosystems for efficient delivery of Pt drugs is summarized with an emphasis on multi-modal synergistic therapy and imaging-guided Pt-based cancer treatment. In the end, the conclusions and future perspectives of Pt-encapsulated nanosystems are given.

Abstract
The complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) is featured by low pH values, high redox status, and hypoxia, which greatly supports the genesis, development, and metastasis of tumors, leading to drug resistance and clinical failure. Moreover, a lot of immunosuppressive cells infiltrate in such TME, resulting in depressing immunotherapy. Therefore, the development of TME-responsive nanoplatforms has shown great significance in enhancing cancer therapeutics. Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs)-based nanosystems, which self-assemble via coordination of phenolic materials and metal ions, have emerged as excellent TME theranostic nanoplatforms. MPNs have unique properties including fast preparation, tunable morphologies, pH response, and biocompatibility. Besides, functionalization and surface modification can endow MPNs with specific functions for application requirements. Here, the representative engineering strategies of various polyphenols are first introduced, followed by the introduction of the engineering mechanisms of polyphenolic nanosystems, fabrication, and distinct properties of MPNs. Then, their advances in TME modulation are highlighted, such as antiangiogenesis, hypoxia relief, combination therapy sensitization, and immunosuppressive TME reversion. Finally, we will discuss the challenges and future perspectives of MPNs-based nanosystems for enhancing cancer therapy. This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Poor targeting of therapeutics leading to severe adverse effects on normal tissues is considered one of the obstacles in cancer therapy. To help overcome this, nanoscale drug delivery systems have provided an alternative avenue for improving the therapeutic potential of various agents and bioactive molecules through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Nanosystems with cancer-targeted ligands can achieve effective delivery to the tumor cells utilizing cell surface-specific receptors, the tumor vasculature and antigens with high accuracy and affinity. Additionally, stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms have also been considered as a promising and effective targeting strategy against tumors, as these nanoplatforms maintain their stealth feature under normal conditions, but upon homing in on cancerous lesions or their microenvironment, are responsive and release their cargoes. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the field of active targeting drug delivery systems and a number of stimuli-responsive release studies in the context of emerging nanoplatform development, and also discuss how this knowledge can contribute to further improvements in clinical practice.

Abstract
The interaction between glioma stem cells (GSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the glioma microenvironment is considered to be an important factor in promoting tumor progression, but the mechanism is still not fully elucidated. To further elucidate the interaction between GSCs and MSCs, two 3D-bioprinted tumor models (low-temperature molding and coaxial bioprinting) were used to simulate the tumor growth microenvironment. Cell fusion between GSCs and MSCs was found by the method of Cre-LoxP switch gene and RFP/GFP dual-color fluorescence tracing. The fused cells coexpressed biomarkers of GSCs and MSCs, showing stronger proliferation, cloning, and invasion abilities than GSCs and MSCs. In addition, the fused cells have stronger tumorigenic properties in nude mice, showing the pathological features of malignant tumors. In conclusion, GSCs and MSCs undergo cell fusion in 3D-bioprinted models, and the fused cells have a higher degree of malignancy than parental cells, which promotes the progression of glioma.

Abstract
Metal ions are ubiquitous in nature and play significant roles in assembling functional materials in fields spanning chemistry, biology, and materials science. Metal-phenolic materials are assembled from phenolic components in the presence of metal ions through the formation of metal-organic complexes. Alkali, alkali-earth, transition, and noble metal ions as well as metalloids interacting with phenolic building blocks have been widely exploited to generate diverse hybrid materials. Despite extensive studies on the synthesis of metal-phenolic materials, a comprehensive summary of how metal ions guide the assembly of phenolic compounds is lacking. A fundamental understanding of the roles of metal ions in metal-phenolic materials engineering will facilitate the assembly of materials with specific and functional properties. In this review, we focus on the diversity and function of metal ions in metal-phenolic material engineering and emerging applications. Specifically, we discuss the range of underlying interactions, including (i) cation-π, (ii) coordination, (iii) redox, and (iv) dynamic covalent interactions, and highlight the wide range of material properties resulting from these interactions. Applications (e.g., biological, catalytic, and environmental) and perspectives of metal-phenolic materials are also highlighted.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has emerged as a powerful technique for the high resolution visualization of biological processes within deep tissue. Through the development and application of exogenous targeted contrast agents and activatable probes that can respond to a given cancer biomarker, researchers can image molecular events in vivo during cancer progression. This information can provide valuable details that can facilitate cancer diagnosis and therapy monitoring. In this tutorial review, we provide a step-by-step guide to select a cancer biomarker and subsequent approaches to design imaging agents for in vivo use. We envision this information will be a useful summary to those in the field, new members to the community, and graduate students taking advanced imaging coursework. We also highlight notable examples from the recent literature, with emphasis on the molecular designs and their in vivo PA imaging performance. To conclude, we provide our outlook and future perspective in this exciting field.

Abstract
Nanoplatforms are nano-scale systems that can transport different small molecular anticancer drugs or chemosensitization motif to accumulate in tumor cells without obvious side-effect in normal cells and achieve a synergistic therapy. In this paper the new self-assembled nanoparticles (NPs) merging doxorubicin (DOX) and myricetin (MYR) with ferric ions (Fe3+) and polyphenol was employed for forming the DOX@MYR-Fe3+ NP (FDMP NP). The FDMP NPs could reduce the DOX-induced toxicity in blood; and they could not cause damage to the heart and kidney tissues by the reasons that the MYR could enhance the anti-oxidation capability in normal cells, which resulted in preventing ROS-induced damage. Additionally, the FDMP NPs were characteristic of small size (37.70 ± 6.30 nm), high DOX loading efficiency (46.67 ± 1.58%), pH-controlled release and excellent stable pharmacokinetics, that inducing drug release and enhancing drug accumulation in the tumor. Moreover, the FDMP NPs could inhibit the expression of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α(HIF-1α) and the key angiogenesis mediator vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) both in vitro and in vivo, which succeed in preventing the generation of new blood vessel networks; that is the mechanism of the synergistic effect against tumors induced by FDMP NPs.

Abstract
To achieve accurate fluorescence imaging-guided cancer therapy, intelligent systems with specific responsiveness to the tumor microenvironment need to be designed. Here, we have achieved both enhanced NIR fluorescence and photodynamic therapy by introducing a dimethylamino functional group in BODIPY dyes, which can be used as a pH sensor under acidic conditions by coordinating with the proton. At pH 7.4, the fluorescence is quenched due to the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) process. After the photosensitizer is protonated in tumor cell lysosomes (pH 4.0-5.5), the PET process is inhibited and the fluorophore emission capacity is restored (fluorescence enhancement up to 10-fold), resulting in near-infrared fluorescence with the OFF/ON transition inside the tumor and enhanced singlet oxygen production for lysosome targeting capability. Due to the substitution of heavy atom iodine, the compound has a high singlet oxygen quantum yield of 81.8% in dichloromethane. In addition, using a pH-sensitive amphiphilic polypeptide (POEGMA23-PE9) as a carrier to wrap the photosensitizer BDPI can release enough drug in the acidic environment (pH 5.5-6.5) of intracellular endosomes/lysosomes, which is conducive to more adequate interactions of the photosensitizer with H+ and more effective enhancement of fluorescence emission and 1O2 production, achieving precise fluorescence imaging capability and extremely low background toxicity.

Abstract
Nanomedicine integrates different functional materials to realize the customization of carriers, aiming at increasing the cancer therapeutic efficacy and reducing the off-target toxicity. However, efforts on developing new drug carriers that combine precise diagnosis and accurate treatment have met challenges of uneasy synthesis, poor stability, difficult metabolism, and high cytotoxicity. Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs), making use of the coordination between phenolic ligands and metal ions, have emerged as promising candidates for nanomedicine, most notably through the service as multifunctional theranostic nanoplatforms. MPNs present unique properties, such as rapid preparation, negligible cytotoxicity, and pH responsiveness. Additionally, MPNs can be further modified and functionalized to meet specific application requirements. Here, the classification of polyphenols is first summarized, followed by the introduction of the properties and preparation strategies of MPNs. Then, their recent advances in biomedical sciences including bioimaging and anti-tumor therapies are highlighted. Finally, the main limitations, challenges, and outlooks regarding MPNs are raised and discussed.

Abstract
Nanotheranostics, which can provide great insight into cancer therapy, has been deemed as a promising technology to settle the unmet medical needs. The rational design of high performance nanotheranostics with multiple complementary imaging features and satisfactory therapeutic efficacy is particularly valuable. Herein, versatile nanotheranostic agents DPPB-Gd-I NPs were fabricated by using gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid chelates and an iodine-decorated copolymer as encapsulation matrixes to encapsulate a polymer DPPB through one-step nanoprecipitation. We have demonstrated that such nanoagents are able to efficiently damage tumors under single dose injection and NIR laser illumination conditions due to the enhanced photodynamic therapy and enhanced photothermal therapy (the tumor inhibition rate was as high as 94.5%). Moreover, these nanoagents can be utilized as dual-modal NIR-II fluorescence/magnetic resonance imaging probes for tumor diagnosis with high sensitivity, deep tissue penetration, and excellent spatial resolution. Overall, this work offers a powerful tactic to fabricate high performance nanotheranostics for clinical application.

Abstract
In science and technology today, the crucial importance of the regulation of nanoscale objects and structures is well recognized. The production of functional material systems using nanoscale units can be achieved via the fusion of nanotechnology with the other research disciplines. This task is a part of the emerging concept of nanoarchitectonics, which is a concept moving beyond the area of nanotechnology. The concept of nanoarchitectonics is supposed to involve the architecting of functional materials using nanoscale units based on the principles of nanotechnology. In this focus article, the essences of nanotechnology and nanoarchitectonics are first explained, together with their historical backgrounds. Then, several examples of material production based on the concept of nanoarchitectonics are introduced via several approaches: (i) from atomic switches to neuromorphic networks; (ii) from atomic nanostructure control to environmental and energy applications; (iii) from interfacial processes to devices; and (iv) from biomolecular assemblies to life science. Finally, perspectives relating to the final goals of the nanoarchitectonics approach are discussed.

Abstract
rHDL is a synthesized drug delivery nanoplatform exhibiting excellent biocompatibility, which possesses most of the advantages of HDL. rHDL shows almost no toxicity and can be degraded to non-toxic substances in vivo. The severe limitation of the application of various antitumor agents is mainly due to their low bioavailability, high toxicity, poor stability, etc. Favorably, antitumor drug-loaded rHDL nanoparticles (NPs), which are known as an important drug delivery system (DDS), help to change the situation a lot. This DDS shows an outstanding active-targeting ability towards tumor cells and improves the therapeutic effect during antitumor treatment while overcoming the shortcomings mentioned above. In the following text, we will mainly focus on the various applications of rHDL in tumor targeted therapy by describing the properties, preparation, receptor active-targeting ability and antitumor effects of antineoplastic drug-loaded rHDL NPs.

Abstract
The validation of metal-phenolic nanoparticles (MPNs) in preclinical imaging studies represents a growing field of interest due to their versatility in forming predesigned structures with unique properties. Before MPNs can be used in medicine, their pharmacokinetics must be optimized so that accumulation in nontargeted organs is prevented and toxicity is minimized. Here, we report the fabrication of MPNs made of a coordination polymer core that combines In(III), Cu(II), and a mixture of the imidazole 1,4-bis(imidazole-1-ylmethyl)-benzene and the catechol 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid ligands. Furthermore, a phenolic-based coating was used as an anchoring platform to attach poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The resulting MPNs, with effective hydrodynamic diameters of around 120 nm, could be further derivatized with surface-embedded molecules, such as folic acid, to facilitate in vivo targeting and multifunctionality. The prepared MPNs were evaluated for in vitro plasma stability, cytotoxicity, and cell internalization and found to be biocompatible under physiological conditions. First, biomedical evaluations were then performed by intrinsically incorporating trace amounts of the radioactive metals 111In or 64Cu during the MPN synthesis directly into their polymeric matrix. The resulting particles, which had identical physicochemical properties to their nonradioactive counterparts, were used to perform in vivo single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) in tumor-bearing mice. The ability to incorporate multiple metals and radiometals into MPNs illustrates the diverse range of functional nanoparticles that can be prepared with this approach and broadens the scope of these nanoconstructs as multimodal preclinical imaging agents.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME), which is composed of cancer cells, stromal cells, immune cells, and extracellular matrices, plays an important role in tumor growth and progression. Thus, targeting the TME using a well-designed nano-drug delivery system is emerging as a promising strategy for the treatment of solid tumors. Compared to normal tissues, the TME presents several distinguishable physiological features such as mildly acidic pH, hypoxia, high level of reactive oxygen species, and overexpression of specific enzymes, that are exploited as stimuli to induce specific changes in the nanocarrier structures, and thereby facilitates target-specific delivery of imaging or chemotherapeutic agents for the early diagnosis or effective treatment, respectively. Recently, smart nanocarriers that respond to more than one stimulus in the TME have also been designed to elicit a more desirable spatiotemporally controlled drug release. This review highlights the recent progress in TME-sensitive nanocarriers designed for more efficient tumor therapy and imaging. In particular, the design strategies, challenges, and critical considerations involved in the fabrication of TME-sensitive nanocarriers, along with their in vitro and in vivo evaluations are discussed.

Abstract
Materials that respond to endogenous stimuli are being leveraged to enhance spatiotemporal control in a range of biomedical applications from drug delivery to diagnostic tools. The design of materials that undergo morphological or chemical changes in response to specific biological cues or pathologies will be an important area of research for improving efficacies of existing therapies and imaging agents, while also being promising for developing personalized theranostic systems. Internal stimuli-responsive systems can be engineered across length scales from nanometers to macroscopic and can respond to endogenous signals such as enzymes, pH, glucose, ATP, hypoxia, redox signals, and nucleic acids by incorporating synthetic bio-inspired moieties or natural building blocks. This Review will summarize response mechanisms and fabrication strategies used in internal stimuli-responsive materials with a focus on drug delivery and imaging for a broad range of pathologies, including cancer, diabetes, vascular disorders, inflammation, and microbial infections. We will also discuss observed challenges, future research directions, and clinical translation aspects of these responsive materials.

Abstract
So far, near-infrared (NIR) light responsive nanostructures have been well-defined in cancer nanomedicine. However, poor penetration and retention in tumors are the limiting factors. Here, we report the ultrahigh penetration and retention of carbanosilica (graphene quantum dots, GQDs embedded mesoporous silica) in solid tumors. After NIR light exposure, quick (0.5 h) emission from the tumor area is observed that is further retained up to a week (tested up to 10 days) with a single dose administration of nanohybrids. Emissive and photothermally active GQDs and porous silica shell (about 31% drug loading) make carbanosilica a promising nanotheranostic agent exhibiting 68.75% tumor shrinking compared to without NIR light exposure (34.48%). Generated heat (∼52 °C) alters the permeability of tumor enhancing the accumulation of nanotheranostics into the tumor environment. Successive tumor imaging ensures the prolonged follow-up of image guided tumor regression due to synergistic therapeutic effect of nanohybrids.

Abstract
Cancer has become a severe threat to human life due to its high mortality and metastatic rate. Effective inhibition and killing of cancer cells using chemotherapeutic drugs have been a promising means in clinical cancer therapy. However, the low selectivity, drug-resistance, uncontrollability and serious side effects of chemotherapy significantly limit its further development. There is an urgent need for new treatment strategies to compensate for deficiencies inherent in chemotherapy alone. A growing body of research shows that combined treatment strategies have the potential to overcome this dilemma by achieving significantly enhanced synergistic effects and reduced side effects. Emerging phase change materials (PCMs) create an ideal nanoplatform for cancer combination therapy due to their universal loading properties, stable and temperature-responsive phase transition capability, and excellent natural biocompatibility/biodegradability. The release of therapeutic agents can be precisely controlled through external, non-intrusive stimuli (such as NIR light and ultrasound), avoiding systemic toxicity associated with conventional chemotherapy. Herein, the construction methods and design principles of PCM-based nanoplatforms serving as strict gatekeeper and smart payload delivery systems are discussed in detail. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of these nanoplatforms are provided. A suitable discussion and perspective of the remaining challenges and future opportunities for PCM-based nanoplatforms in cancer treatment are also given in conclusion.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the in vitro and in vivo antitumor effects of the colloidal suspension-in situ hydrogel of emodin (EM) constructed with the self-assembling peptide RADA16-I and systematically evaluate the feasibility of the delivery system. METHODS The MTT and colony-formation assays were used to determine the viability of normal cells NCTC 1469 and tumor cells Hepa1-6. The uptake of EM in the RADA16-I-EM in situ hydrogel by tumor cells was analyzed by laser confocal microscope and flow cytometry. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution. Transwell assay was used to detect the migration and invasion of tumor cells. The antitumor efficacy of the RADA16-I-EM in situ hydrogel and its toxic effects was further assessed in vivo on Hepa1-6 tumor-bearing C57 mice. RESULTS The results showed that the RADA16-I-EM in situ hydrogels could obviously reduce the toxicity of EM to normal cells and the survival of tumor cells. The uptake of EM by the cells from the hydrogels was obviously increased and could significantly induce apoptosis and arrest cell cycle in the G2/M phase, and reduce the migration, invasion and clone-formation ability of the cells. The RADA16-I-EM in situ hydrogel could also effectively inhibit the tumor growth and obviously decrease the toxic effects of EM on normal tissues in vivo. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that RADA16-I has the potential to be a carrier for the hydrophobic drug EM and can effectively improve the delivery of hydrophobic antitumor drugs with enhanced antitumor effects and reduced toxic effects of the drugs on normal cells and tissues.

Abstract
The antiretroviral (ARV) cocktailrevolved the treatment of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Drug combinations have been also tested to treat other infectious diseases, including the recentcoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. To simplify administration fixed-dose combinationshave been introduced, however, oral anti-HIV therapy still struggles with low oral bioavailability of many ARVs.This work investigated the co-encapsulation of two clinically relevant ARV combinations,tipranavir (TPV):efavirenz (EFV) anddarunavir (DRV):efavirenz (EFV):ritonavir (RTV),within the core of β-casein (bCN) micelles. Encapsulation efficiency in both systems was ~100%. Cryo-transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering of the ARV-loaded colloidaldispersions indicatefull preservation of the spherical morphology, and x-ray diffraction confirm that the encapsulated drugs are amorphous. To prolong the physicochemical stabilitythe formulations were freeze-driedwithout cryo/lyoprotectant, and successfully redispersed, with minor changes in morphology.Then, theARV-loaded micelles were encapsulated within microparticles of Eudragit® L100, which prevented enzymatic degradation and minimized drug release under gastric-like pH conditionsin vitro. At intestinal pH, the coating polymer dissolved and released the nanocarriers and content. Overall, our results confirm the promise of this flexible and modular technology platform for oral delivery of fixed dose combinations.

Abstract
Naturally available compounds with bioactivity are potential candidates for cancer treatment. In this paper, we isolated hypericin (HC) from Hypericum sinense L. and investigated its antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. The nanoparticles (NPs) of HC were prepared by a nanoprecipitation process with 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-ethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-PEG-2000). With light irradiation, HC NPs not only undergo efficient electron transfer to generate the superoxide radical (O2-˙) and the hydroxyl radical (OH˙) as well as energy transfer producing singlet oxygen (1O2) for photodynamic therapy (PDT), but also non-radiative decay to produce heat for photothermal therapy (PTT) with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 29.3%. This synergistic therapy, therefore, largely boosts the phototherapy efficacy of HC NPs on human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), guaranteeing a low half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of only 5.6 μg mL-1. Furthermore, in vivo studies suggest that HC NPs are capable of inhibiting tumor proliferation after laser irradiation, and the main organs remain healthy, including the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and spleen. Our results indicate that HC NPs derived from nature with excellent phototherapy efficacies are biocompatible candidates for type I PDT/PTT synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Targeted therapy and immunotherapy in combination is considered the ideal strategy for treating metastatic cancer, as it can eliminate the primary tumors and induce host immunity to control distant metastases. Phototherapy, a promising targeted therapy, eradicates primary tumors using an appropriate dosage of focal light irradiation, while initiating antitumor immune responses through induced immunogenic tumor cell death. Recently, phototherapy has been employed to improve the efficacy of immunotherapies such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Phototherapy and immunoadjuvant therapy have been used in combination clinically, wherein the induced immunogenic cell death and enhanced antigen presentation synergy, inducing a systemic antitumor immune response to control residual tumor cells at the treatment site and distant metastases. This review summarizes studies on photo-immunotherapy, the combination of phototherapy and immunotherapy, especially focusing on the development and progress of this unique combination from a benchtop project to a promising clinical therapy for metastatic cancer.

Abstract
A critical challenge remains in PD-1 checkpoint blockade immunotherapy is few tumor specific T cells infiltration in hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME). Improving immunogenic cell death (ICD) associated immunogenicity can make tumor sensitive to PD-1 checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. Herein, a phenolic ICD inducer was engineered by self-assembly of the superior ICD inducer (doxorubicin, DOX), phenolic manganese dioxide nanoreactor, ferric iron and PEG-polyphenols (MDP NPs) via metal phenolic coordination. These oxygen self-supporting MDP NPs strengthen DOX based ROS-dependent cell death and their metal mediated chemodynamic effect accelerate ICD induction. Together with concomitant ICD triggered by DOX, MDP NPs successively lead to tumor-associated antigen boosting, DCs maturation and ultimately enhance tumor-specific T cells infiltration. Furthermore, MDP NPs efficiently modulated hypoxic TME for effective macrophages recruitment. This promising ICD-augment strategy efficiently improve tumor response to PD-1 checkpoint blockade immunotherapy, resulting in a significant antitumor immune response in primary tumor and a strong abscopal effect to distant tumor. Our simple and versatile phenolic inducer expands the application of chemodrugs based ICD enhancing PD-1 checkpoint blockade immunotherapy.

Abstract
In this study a novel pH-responsive magnetic nanocomposite based on reduced graphene oxide was developed for combination of doxorubicin (Dox)-cisplatin (Cis) delivery to destroy the MCF-7 cell line. For this purpose, polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate (PHEMA) was bonded to the reduced graphene oxide through ATRP polymerization using grafting from method. Then the PHEMA hydroxy groups were converted to succinyloxy groups by polyesterification with succinic anhydride. The physicochemical properties of the nanocomposite were investigated via FTIR, SEM, XRD, DLS and TGA analysis. Unique structure of nanocomposite led to simultaneous encapsulation of Dox (75%) and Cis (82%) through ionic interaction, π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. The obtained nanocomposite was uptake by MCF-7 cells at early first hour because of nanocomposite small size (below 70 nm). Cell viability assay results revealed that the Dox&Cis-loaded nanocomposite showed the highest rate of MCF-7 cells at lowest concentration (IC50 = 0.798 µg/mL) compared to treatment groups received single drug-loaded nanocomposite and free drugs. Dox&Cis-loaded nanocomposite exhibited a synergistic influence with the combination index (CI) value <1. The cell cycle analysis results revealed that the highest amount of apoptosis (cells population in sub G1 was 75%) was observed in the Dox&Cis-loaded nanocomposite treatment group compared with the single drug-loaded nanocomposite and free drugs. Our findings confirmed that combinational therapy by Dox and Cis graphene oxide-based nanocomposite has increased the cytotoxicity in MCF-7 cells by stimulating the apoptotic response.

Abstract
Semiconducting compounds with high photostability and excellent photothermal ability are potential candidates for phototheranostics. In this paper, the heavy atom free compound 3,6-bis(5-(4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)furan-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-octyldodecyl)pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4(2H,5H)-dione (denoted as DPPCz) has been designed and synthesized through a C-H activation coupling reaction. DPPCz has a high singlet oxygen quantum yield (1O2 QY) of 40.3% in DCM. In addition, DPPCz NPs obtained by nanoprecipitation exhibit a high photothermal conversion efficiency (48.2%) in water. DPPCz NPs have a low half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 7.1 μg mL-1 towards human lung cancer cells (A549) with irradiation while the dark toxicity is almost negligible even at high concentrations. Furthermore, in vivo photothermal imaging guided study demonstrates that these NPs are able to inhibit tumor growth with the help of laser. The H&E stained pictures of the normal tissues indicate the biosafety of DPPCz NPs in that no obvious damage was observed. Our results demonstrate that DPPCz NPs are potential semiconducting photosensitizers for phototheranostics.

Abstract
Cancer theranostics is a new strategy for combating cancer that integrates cancer imaging and treatment through theranostic agents to provide an efficient and safe way to improve cancer prognosis. Design and synthesis of these cancer theranostic agents are crucial since these agents are required to be biocompatible, tumor-specific, imaging distinguishable and therapeutically efficacious. In this regard, several types of gadolinium (Gd)-based nanomaterials have been introduced to combine different therapeutic agents with Gd to enhance the efficacy of therapeutic agents. At the same time, the entire treatment procedure could be monitored via imaging tools due to incorporation of Gd ions, Gd chelates and Gd/other imaging probes in the theranostic agents. This review aims to overview recent advances in the Gd-based nanomaterials for cancer theranostics and perspectives for Gd nanomaterial-based cancer theranostics are provided.

Abstract
Background Molecular imaging is of great benefit to early disease diagnosis and timely treatment. One of the most striking innovations is the development of multimodal molecular imaging technology, which integrates two or more imaging modalities, largely in view of making the best of the advantages of each modality while overcoming their respective shortcomings. Hence, engineering a versatile and easily prepared nanomaterial with integrating multimodal molecular imaging function holds great promise, but is still a great challenge. Materials and Methods We firstly designed and synthesized a BDT-DPP conjugated polymer and then noncovalent self-assembly with phospholipid-polyethylene glycol endowed BDT-DPP with water solubility and biocompatibility. Followed by [Cu] labeling, the acquired multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) were studied in detail for the photophysical property. The cytotoxicity and biocompatibility of DPP-BDT NPs were examined through MTT assay and H&E stained analysis. In addition, we investigated the accumulation of the NPs in HepG2 tumor models by positron emission tomography (PET) and photoacoustic (PA) dual-mode imaging. Results and Discussion The DPP-BDT NPs exhibited excellent optical stability, strong near-infrared (NIR) light absorption as well as fine biocompatibility. After tail vein injection into the living mice, the PA signals in the neoplastic tissues were gradually increased and reached to the maximum at the 4-h post-injection, which was consistent with the PET analysis. Such strong PA and PET signals were attributed to the efficient NPs accumulation resulting from the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Conclusion The biocompatible DPP-BDT NPs demonstrated to be strong NIR absorption property and PAI sensitivity. Besides, these novel DPP-BDT NPs can act not only as a PA imaging contrast agent but also as an imaging agent for PET.

Abstract
Photonic theranostics (PTs) generally contain optical agents for the optical sensing of biomolecules and therapeutic components for converting light into heat or chemical energy. Semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) as advanced PTs possessing good biocompatibility, stable photophysical properties, and sensitive and tunable optical responses from the ultraviolet to near-infrared (NIR) II window (300-1700 nm) have recently aroused great interest. Although semiconducting polymers (SPs) with various building blocks have been synthesized and developed to meet the demands of biophotonic applications, most of the SPNs were made by a nanoprecipitation method that used amphiphilic surfactants to encapsulate SPs. Such binary SP micelles usually exhibit weakened photophysical properties of SPs and undergo dissociation in vivo. SP brushes (SPBs) are products of functional post-modification of SP backbones, which endows unique features to SPNs (e.g. enhanced optical properties and multiple chemical reaction sites for the conjunction of organic/inorganic imaging agents and therapeutics). Furthermore, the SPB-based SPNs can be highly stable due to supramolecular self-assembly and/or chemical crosslinking. In this review, we highlight the recent progress in the development of SPBs for advanced theranostics.

Abstract
Cancer has become one of the primary threats to human beings, and traditional therapies (including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy) show limited therapeutic efficacy due to the complexity of tumor biology. Furthermore, determining how to utilize the differences between the tumor microenvironment (TME) and healthy tissues and exploring new nanoplatforms that can realize early diagnosis and effective and non-toxic therapy are challenges in cancer theranostics. Numerous researchers have designed multifunctional nanomaterials and investigated their personalized therapy and regulation abilities toward TME, including oxygen generation, glutathione consumption and the production of reactive oxygen species and multi-model imaging effects. This review will introduce the latest progress in the design of multi-functional nanomedicines for the regulation of TME and their theranostics, and it will provide a critical angle for the future development of nanomedicine.

Abstract
Rationale: Nanoparticles (NPs) that are rapidly eliminated from the body offer great potential in clinical test. Renal excretion of small particles is preferable over other clearance pathways to minimize potential toxicity. Thus, there is a significant demand to prepare ultra-small theranostic agents with renal clearance behaviors. Method: In this work, we report a facile method to prepare NPs with ultra-small size that show renal clearable behavior for imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT). Pyropheophorbide-a (Pa), a deep red photosensitizer was functionalized with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to obtain Pa-PEG. The prepared NPs formed ultra-small nanodots in aqueous solution and showed red-shifted absorbance that enabling efficient singlet oxygen generation upon light irradiation. Results: In vitro studies revealed good photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect of these Pa-PEG nanodots. Most of the cancer cells incubated with Pa-PEG nanodots were destroyed after being exposed to the irradiated light. Utilizing the optical properties of such Pa-PEG nanodots, in vivo photoacoustic (PA) and fluorescence (FL) imaging techniques were used to assess the optimal time for PDT treatment after intravenous (i.v.) injection of the nanodots. As monitored by the PA/FL dual-modal imaging, the nanodots could accumulate at the tumor site and reach the maximum concentration at 8 h post injection. Finally, the tumors on mice treated with Pa-PEG nanodots were effectively inhibited by PDT treatment. Moreover, Pa-PEG nanodots showed high PA/FL signals in kidneys implying these ultra-small nanodots could be excreted out of the body via renal clearance. Conclusion: We demonstrated the excellent properties of Pa-PEG nanodots that can be an in vivo imaging-guided PDT agent with renal clearable behavior for potential future clinical translation.

Abstract
Combination therapy with multiple chemotherapeutic agents is the main approach for cancer treatment in the clinic. Polyphenol-based materials are found in our diet, demonstrate good biocompatibility, and prevent numerous diseases. In this study, we encapsulate two drugs in a single polyphenol-based polymer with Fe3+ or Mn2+ ions as the cross-linker for cancer therapy. The combination index of two drugs is an essential parameter to evaluate drug combinations. The amphiphilic polymer poly(ethylene glycol)-block-polydopamine (PEG-PDA) was prepared by RAFT polymerization. The nanoparticles were prepared via self-assembly with Fe3+ or Mn2+ ions. Both doxorubicin (DOX) and simvastatin (SV) were encapsulated in the core of the nanoparticles. The cell viability and combination index were evaluated in vitro. The tumor accumulation of the nanoparticles was investigated by positron-emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The as-prepared nanoparticles exhibited high drug loading capacity. The drug loaded nanoparticles could kill cancer cells effectively with a combination index <1. Both PET and MRI revealed that the nanoparticles showed long blood circulation time and high tumor accumulation. The nanoparticles could inhibit tumor inhibition via intravenous injection of nanoparticles. The polyphenol-based nanoplatform may serve as a promising theranostic candidate for clinical application.

Abstract
Phototheranostics refers to advanced photonics-mediated theranostic methods for cancer and includes imaging-guided photothermal/chemotherapy, photothermal/photodynamic therapy, and photodynamic/chemotherapy, which are expected to provide a paradigm of modern precision medicine. In this regard, various phototheranostic drug delivery systems with excellent photonic performance, controlled drug delivery/release, and precise photoimaging guidance have been developed. In this study, we reported a special "in situ framework growth" method to synthesize novel phototheranostic hollow mesoporous nanoparticles by ingenious hybridization of perylene diimide (PDI) within the framework of small-sized hollow mesoporous organosilica (HMO). The marriage of PDI and HMO endowed the phototheranostic silica nanoparticles (HMPDINs) with largely amplified fluorescence and photoacoustic signals, which can be used for enhanced fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging. The organosilica shell can be chemically chelated with isotope 64Cu for positron emission tomography imaging. Moreover, in situ polymer growth was introduced in the hollow structure of the HMPDINs to produce thermosensitive polymer (TP) in the cavity of HMPDINs to increase the loading capacity and prevent unexpected leakage of the hydrophobic drug SN38. Furthermore, the framework-hybridized PDI generated heat under near-infrared laser irradiation to trigger the deformation of TP for controlled drug release in the tumor region. The fabricated hybrid nanomedicine with organic-inorganic characteristic not only increases the cancer theranostic efficacy but also offers an attractive solution for designing powerful theranostic platforms.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are attractive candidates for biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis, and play vital roles in physiological and pathological processes. In this work, we developed a colorimetric and fluorescent dual-mode sensor for miRNA detection based on the optical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and the duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-assisted signal amplification technique. In brief, FAM labelled hairpin probes (HPs) were immobilized on AuNPs, and fluorescence was efficiently quenched by the vicinity of the fluorophores to the AuNPs surface. In the presence of target miRNAs, the HPs could specifically hybridize with miRNAs and the DNA strand in the DNA/RNA heteroduplexes could be subsequently hydrolyzed by DSN. As a result, numbers of fluorophores were released into the solution, resulting in obvious fluorescence signal recovery. Meanwhile, the target miRNAs were able to participate in other hybridization reactions. With the DSN-assisted signal amplification technique, lots of gold nanoparticles were produced with short-chain DNA on their surface, which could aggregate in salt solution and result in a colorimetric detection. The proposed dual-mode strategy offers a sensitive, accurate and selective detection method for miRNAs. One reason is that the stem of the HPs was elaborately designed to avoid hydrolyzation by DSN under optimal conditions, which ensures a relatively low background and high sensitivity. The other is that the dual-mode strategy is more beneficial for enhancing the accuracy and reproducibility of the measurements. Moreover, the unique selective-cutting ability and single-base mismatch differentiation capability of the DSN also give rise to a satisfactory selectivity. This demonstrated that the developed method could quantitatively detect miR-21 down to 50 pM with a linear calibration range from 50 pM to 1 nM, and the analytical assay of target miRNAs in cell lysate samples revealed its great potential for application in biomedical research and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Hypoxic tumor microenvironment is the bottleneck of the conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) and significantly weakens the overall therapeutic efficiency. Herein, versatile metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets (DBBC-UiO) comprised of bacteriochlorin ligand and Hf6(µ3-O)4(µ3-OH)4 clusters to address this tricky issue are designed. The resulting DBBC-UiO enables numerous superoxide anion radical (O2 -•) generation via a type I mechanism with a 750 nm NIR-laser irradiation, part of which transforms to high toxic hydroxyl radical (OH•) and oxygen (O2) through superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mediated catalytic reactions under severe hypoxic microenvironment (2% O2), and the partial recycled O2 enhances O2 -• generation. Owing to the synergistic radicals, it realizes advanced antitumor performance with 91% cell mortality against cancer cells in vitro, and highly efficient hypoxic solid tumor ablation in vivo. It also accomplishes photoacoustic imaging (PAI) for cancer diagnosis. This DBBC-UiO, taking advantage of superb penetration depth of the 750 nm laser and distinct antihypoxia activities, offers new opportunities for PDT against clinically hypoxic cancer.

Self-assembled green tea polyphenol-based coordination nanomaterials to improve chemotherapy efficacy by inhibition of carbonyl reductase 1. Biomaterials 2019; 210:62-69.

Abstract
Nanomedicine has become a promising approach to improve cancer chemotherapy. It remains a major challenge how to enhance anti-drug efficacy and reduce side effects of anti-cancer drugs. Herein, we report a self-assembled nanoplatform (FDEP NPs) by integration of doxorubicin (DOX) and epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) with the help of coordination between Fe3+ ions and polyphenols. The EGCG from FDEP NPs could inhibit the expression of carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) protein and thereby inhibit the doxorubicinol (DOXOL) generation from DOX both in vitro and in vivo, thus the efficacy of DOX to cancerous cells is improved significantly. More importantly, the FDEP NPs could reduce cardiac toxicity and the DOX mediated toxicity to blood cells due to the repression of DOXOL production. Moreover, the blood half-life of FDEP NPs is longer than 23 h as determined by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of biodistribution of radiolabelled NPs and HPLC measurement of plasma level of DOX, ensuring high tumor accumulation of FDEP NPs by enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. The FDEP NPs also exhibited much improved antitumor effect over free drugs. Our work sheds new light on the engineering of nanomaterials for combination chemotherapy and may find unique clinical applications in the near future.

Abstract
With recent advances in polymer chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology, pH-responsive polymers have a significant impact in a number of diverse fields. Fundamental studies of these polymers are thus highly desirable as they may lead to new insights into the rational design of pH-responsive polymers with specific effects. In this Perspective, we focus on the nanobuffering of pH-responsive polymers (NBPRP). Although researchers have known of such buffering effects for more than a century, for example, in the context of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, modern synthesis and analysis routes now enable us to analyze these effects on the nanometer scale. In this way, the NBPRP phenomenon was explicitly defined and described by Gauthier and colleagues in the February issue of ACS Nano. Here, we highlight several potential areas in which the NBPRP could enable innovative classes of biological applications. We expect deeper mechanistic understanding of nanobuffering effects induced by pH-responsive polymers to have a significant impact on the future development and applications of these polymers.

Abstract
Precision medicine requires noninvasive and accurate early diagnosis and individually appropriate treatments. Phototheranostics has been considered a frontier precision medical technology to provide rapid and safe disease localization and efficient cure. Harnessing the power of advanced nanomedicine with photonics, phototheranostics is rapidly developing and progressively becoming irreplaceable in modern medicine. Nanoscale semiconducting materials, such as inorganic semiconductors, organic conjugated polymers, and small molecules with photonic properties, have been extensively explored in medical imaging (fluorescence imaging, optical coherence tomography, and photoacoustic [PA] imaging) and phototherapy (photothermal, photodynamic, and photocontrolled combination therapies). In practical clinical applications, organic semiconducting materials, because of their biocompatibility and natural metabolism, are preferred over inorganic materials for phototheranostics. Supramolecular self-assembly is considered a significant method for preparing organic detachable and multifunctional phototheranostics, as supramolecular interactions, such as π-π interactions, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic effects, and electrostatic interactions, are non-covalent and dynamic. Developing new and effective organic supramolecular phototheranostics requires exploration of well-designed basic building blocks with optical properties, understanding of the assembly at the nanoscale, and optimization of the phototheranostics with unique and distinctive multifunctional efficacy. In this Account, we summarize our recent work on the development of small molecular semiconducting perylene diimide (SPDI) for advanced phototheranostics. SPDI is modified to have strong near-infrared absorption beyond 700 nm by the push-pull electronic effect and owns the merits of remarkable photostability, large extinction coefficient, and high photothermal conversion efficiency. By hydrophilic modification, the amphiphile can self-assemble into a nanomicellar structure that allows PA imaging and can serve as a photothermal conversion agent. After theranostics delivery is achieved, this SPDI can be further functionalized for multimodality imaging and photothermally triggered multimodal synergistic therapy. Several well-designed asymmetric structures of SPDI can be obtained by stepwise modification of imides. It is noteworthy that the self-assembly of SPDI is controllable, allowing the preparation of different-sized spherical nanoparticles and rodlike nanoparticles and nanodroplets. For biomedical applications of SPDI phototheranostics (SPDIPTs), the size effect of SPDIPTs has been highlighted in lymph node mapping and cancer imaging. The PA properties and targeting peptide modification of SPDIPTs have brought about the ultrasensitive imaging of early thrombus. The supramolecular nanoconstructs of SPDIPTs further permit multimodality-imaging-guided cancer therapy. In brief, the design of SPDIPTs considers synthetic chemistry, supramolecular self-assembly, nanotechnology, and photonics. Furthermore, SPDIPTs have diverse biomedical applications and offer many opportunities for advancing nanomedicine.

Abstract
The integration of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-involved photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) holds great promise for enhanced anticancer effects. Herein, we report biodegradable cancer cell membrane-coated mesoporous copper/manganese silicate nanospheres (mCMSNs) with homotypic targeting ability to the cancer cell lines and enhanced ROS generation through singlet oxygen (1O2) production and glutathione (GSH)-activated Fenton reaction, showing excellent CDT/PDT synergistic therapeutic effects. We demonstrate that mCMSNs are able to relieve the tumor hypoxia microenvironment by catalytic decomposition of endogenous H2O2 to O2 and further react with O2 to produce toxic 1O2 with a 635 nm laser irradiation. GSH-triggered mCMSNs biodegradation can simultaneously generate Fenton-like Cu+ and Mn2+ ions and deplete GSH for efficient hydroxyl radical (•OH) production. The specific recognition and homotypic targeting ability to the cancer cells were also revealed. Notably, relieving hypoxia and GSH depletion disrupts the tumor microenvironment (TME) and cellular antioxidant defense system, achieving exceptional cancer-targeting therapeutic effects in vitro and in vivo. The cancer cells growth was significantly inhibited. Moreover, the released Mn2+ can also act as an advanced contrast agent for cancer magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thus, together with photosensitizers, Fenton agent provider and MRI contrast effects along with the modulating of the TME allow mCMSNs to realize MRI-monitored enhanced CDT/PDT synergistic therapy. It provides a paradigm to rationally design TME-responsive and ROS-involved therapeutic strategies based on a single polymetallic silicate nanomaterial with enhanced anticancer effects.
