The influence of near-infrared carbon dots on the conformational variation and enzymatic activity of glucose oxidase: A multi-spectroscopic and biochemical study with molecular docking. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 273:133198. [PMID: 38889829 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133198] [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: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, the exceptional biocatalytic properties of glucose oxidase (GOx) have spurred the development of various GOx-functionalized nanocatalysts for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Carbon dots, renowned for their excellent biocompatibility and distinctive fluorescence properties, effectively incorporate GOx. Given the paramount importance of GOx's enzymatic activity in therapeutic efficacy, this study conducts a thorough exploration of the molecular-level binding dynamics between GOx and near-infrared carbon dots (NIR-CDs). Utilizing various spectrometric and molecular simulation techniques, we reveal that NIR-CDs form a ground-state complex with GOx primarily via hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, interacting directly with amino acid residues in GOx's active site. This binding leads to conformational change and reduces thermal stability of GOx, slightly inhibiting its enzymatic activity and demonstrating a competitive inhibition effect. In vitro experiments demonstrate that NIR-CDs attenuate the GOx's capacity to produce H2O2 in HeLa cells, mitigating enzyme-induced cytotoxicity and cellular damage. This comprehensive elucidation of the intricate binding mechanisms between NIR-CDs and GOx provides critical insights for the design of NIR-CD-based nanotherapeutic platforms to augment cancer therapy. Such advancements lay the groundwork for innovative and efficacious cancer treatment strategies.

Abstract
After entering the human body, drugs for treating diseases, which are prone to delivery and release in an uncontrolled manner, are affected by various factors. Based on this, many researchers utilize various microenvironmental changes encountered during drug delivery to trigger drug release and have proposed stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become promising stimuli-responsive agents to release the loaded therapeutic agents at the target site to achieve more precise drug delivery due to their high drug loading, excellent biocompatibility, and high stimuli-responsiveness. The MOF-based stimuli-responsive systems can respond to various stimuli under pathological conditions at the site of the lesion, releasing the loaded therapeutic agent in a controlled manner, and improving the accuracy and safety of drug delivery. Due to the changes in different physical and chemical factors in the pathological process of diseases, the construction of stimuli-responsive systems based on MOFs has become a new direction in drug delivery and controlled release. Based on the background of the rapidly increasing attention to MOFs applied in drug delivery, we aim to review various MOF-based stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems and their response mechanisms to various stimuli. In addition, the current challenges and future perspectives of MOF-based stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has emerged as a potential alternative to traditional cancer treatments as it offers deep cellular penetration and reduced invasivity. Sonosensitizers generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under ultrasound activation, focusing the ultrasound energy on malignant sites located deep in tissues and causing cell apoptosis and necrosis. However, due to tumor hypoxia and the limited levels of intracellular endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 is a fundamental species for supplying oxygen via catalase activity), SDT efficacy is still insufficient. In this study, a bimetallic and multifunctional system (Fe3O4-TAPP@PVP-CaO2) was prepared by using ferrosoferric oxide (Fe3O4) as a carrier loaded with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl), porphyrin (TAPP), that was then coated with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and calcium peroxide (CaO2). The CaO2 layer elevated the levels of H2O2 and Ca2+ in the tumor microenvironment when exposed to intracellular acidity, providing essential elements for oxygen generation. Intracellular hypoxia was alleviated via the catalase-like activity of Fe3O4 inducing calcium overload. Under ultrasonic irradiation, SDT generated toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS, singlet oxygen) and activated calcium influx through acoustic cavitation. Meanwhile, calcium overload therapy efficiently induced cell apoptosis at the moment of uncontrollable cellular accumulation of Ca2+. In addition, we modified the PVP on the surface to make it more stable. This study presents a bimetallic nanoplatform that can efficiently induce cancer cell death by synergistic sonodynamic-calcium overload therapy via modulation of O2/ROS/Ca2+ species, indicating its potential for multi-modality cancer therapy.

Abstract
Bio-enzymes have the advantages of strong substrate specificity, high catalytic efficiency, and minimal toxic side effects, making them promising drugs in cancer therapy. However, the poor stability and cellular penetrability of uncoated protein in the physiological environment severely restricts the direct application of Bio-enzyme. To address it, we report a metal-organic framework (MOF), Hf-DBA (H2DBA, biphenyl carboxylic acid ligands). The morphology of the Hf-DBA was revealed by TEM and the diameter was in the range of 200 to 350 nm. Hf-DBA acted a carrier for intracellular delivery and protection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The prepared HRP@Hf-DBA can catalyze the excess H2O2 in the tumor cells to generation of •OH for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Compared with free HRP, the catalytic activity of HRP@Hf-DBA is significantly improved, and the optimal catalytic conditions are explored. The catalytic stability of HRP@Hf-DBA remained above 70% after 12 cycles of catalysis. After treatment with HRP@Hf-DBA, the apoptosis rates of A549 and Hela cells was 71.64%, and 76.86%. The results in vitro show that HRP@Hf-DBA can effectively inhibit the growth of tumor cells through enhanced CDT.

Abstract
Diabetic wound treating remains a challenging due to bacterial infections, oxidative stress, tissue hypoxia, and high glucose levels. Herein, a multi-enzyme-like activities nanocomposite (Mo,Fe/Cu,I-Ag@GOx) was designed and anchored to a multifunctional fluorescence hydrogel. The nanozyme gel, loaded with glucose-oxidase (GOx), exhibits intrinsic GOx, peroxidase (POD)-, oxidase (OXD)-, catalase (CAT)- and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities with pH-switchable glucose-initiated cascade reaction for diabetic wound healing. In the first cascade-reaction, initiated by GOx, the nanozyme gel catalyzes glucose and O2 into gluconic acid and H2O2 to further generate superoxide anion radical (O2·-) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH) to eradicate bacteria. In the second cascade-reaction, as the wound pH changes alkalescent microenvironment, the nanozyme gel simulates SOD to transform O2·- into O2 and H2O2, and then decomposes endogenous and exogenous H2O2 into O2 via CAT-like activity to reduce oxidative stress and alleviate hypoxia. The gel by calcium ion (Ca2+) cross-linked sodium alginate (SA) and chitosan (CS) containing nanozyme was constructed with injectability, adhesion and fluorescence properties, as well as beneficial biocompatible. Importantly, the water/alcohol solubility of the nanozyme gel allows it to be used as a dressing without causing secondary injury to the wound. The multifunctional fluorescence hydrogel exhibits efficiently promote pro-angiogenesis and bacteria-infected wound healing.

Abstract
Bacteria play important roles in tumor formation, growth and metastasis through downregulating immune response and initiating drug resistance. Herein, size-tunable nanogels (NGs) have been developed to address the existing size paradox in tumor accumulation, intratumoral penetration and intracellular release of therapeutics for the treatment of Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum)-infected colorectal cancer. Zinc-imidazolate frameworks with doxorubicin (DOX) loading and folate grafting (f-ZIFD) were mixed with metronidazole (MET) and encapsulated in NGs through thiol-ene click crosslinking of sulfhydryl hyaluronan, sulfhydryl alginate and 4-arm poly(ethylene glycol) acrylate. Hyaluronidase-initiated matrix degradation causes NG swelling to release sufficient MET and maintains a large size for an extended time period, and the gradually discharged f-ZIFD nanoparticles (NPs) from NGs exhibit acid-responsive intracellular release of DOX after folate-mediated internalization into tumor cells. The encapsulation into NGs significantly enhances the bioavailability and increases half-lives of MET and DOX by around 20 times. In the F. nucleatum-infected tumor model, the extended retention of swollen NGs and the efficient tumor infiltration and cellular uptake of the discharged f-ZIFD NPs cause 6 times higher DOX levels in tumors than that of free DOX administration. F. nucleatum promotes tumor cell proliferation and tumor growth, and the cascaded releases of MET and f-ZIFD NPs eliminate F. nucleatum to effectively inhibit tumor growth with a significant extension of animal survival. Thus, the hyaluronidase-mediated NG expansion and dual-responsive cascaded drug release have overcome challenges in the release regimen and size paradox of drug delivery carriers to combat bacteria-infected cancer.

Abstract
Oxidoreductases are a wide class of enzymes that can catalyze biological oxidation and reduction reactions. Nowadays, oxidoreductases play a vital part in most bioenergetic metabolic pathways, which have important applications in biodegradation, bioremediation, environmental applications, as well as biosensors. However, free oxidoreductases are not stable and hard to be recycled. In addition, cofactors are needed in most oxidoreductases catalyze reactions, which are so expensive and unstable that it hinders their industrial applications. Enzyme immobilization is a feasible strategy that can overcome these problems. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential as support materials for immobilizing enzymes due to their unique properties, such as high surface-area-to-volume ratio, chemical stability, functional designability, and tunable pore size. This review discussed the application of MOFs and their composites as immobilized carriers of oxidoreductase, as well as the application of MOFs as catalysts and immobilized carriers in redox reactions in the perspective of the function of MOFs materials. The paper also focuses on the potential of MOF carrier-based oxidoreductase immobilization for designing an enzyme cascade reaction system.

Electrospun fibers integrating enzyme-functionalized metal-organic frameworks for postoperative tumor recurrence inhibition and simultaneously wound tissue healing.

Abstract
The tumor recurrence and infected wound tissue defect are the major clinical challenges after the surgical treatment of primary chest wall cancer. Herein, to address the above issues, blending electrospinning was applied to incorporate glucose oxidase (GOx) loaded Zn/Cu-based bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (GOx/BMOFs) into polyurethane (PU) fibers, which were designed for effective cancer therapy with improved wound healing. The release of Cu2+ and GOx could accomplish the conversion from Cu2+ to Cu+ through the glutathione (GSH) depletion and provide additional H2O2 from glucose by GOx catalysis, respectively, which further underwent the Fenton-like reaction to produce toxic hydroxyl radical (OH). The tumor cells (human fibrosarcoma cells) could be effectively killed in vitro and in vivo through the synergistic chemodynamic therapy and starvation therapy. Moreover, the electrospun fiber platform could support the adhesion and proliferation of wound tissue cells, and also show the antibacterial ability owing to the functional agents in the fibers, thereby accelerating the infected wound repair in vivo. This work may offer a reliable and effective fiber biomaterial for localized chest wall tumor therapy and simultaneous tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) relies on the tumor microenvironment (e.g., high H2 O2 level) responsive Fenton-like reactions to produce hydroxyl radicals (·OH) against tumors. However, endogenous H2 O2 is insufficient for effective chemodynamic responses. An NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1)high catalase (CAT)low therapeutic window for the use of NQO1 bioactive drug β-lapachone (β-Lap) is first identified in endometrial cancer (EC). Accompanied by NADH depletion, NQO1 catalyzes β-Lap to produce excess H2 O2 and initiate oxidative stress, which selectively suppress NQO1high EC cell proliferation, induce DNA double-strand breaks, and promote apoptosis. Moreover, shRNA-mediated NQO1 knockdown or dicoumarol rescues NQO1high EC cells from β-Lap-induced cytotoxicity. Arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)-functionalized iron-based metal-organic frameworks (MOF(Fe)) further promote the conversion of the accumulated H2 O2 into highly oxidative ·OH, which in turn, exacerbates the oxidative damage to RGD-positive target cells. Furthermore, mitophagy inhibition by Mdivi-1 blocks a powerful antioxidant defense approach, ultimately ensuring the anti-tumor efficacy of stepwise-amplified reactive oxygen species signals. The tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) is about 85.92%. However, the TGI of MOF(Fe)-based synergistic antitumor therapy decreases to only 50.46% in NQO1-deficient KLE tumors. Tumor-specific chemotherapy and CDT-triggered therapeutic modality present unprecedented therapeutic benefits in treating NQO1high EC.

Abstract
Targeted tumor therapy through tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive nanoplatforms is an emerging treatment strategy used to enhance tumor-specificity to selectively kill cancer cells. Here, we introduce a nanosized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) that simultaneously contains natural glucose oxidase (GOx) and Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) to construct multi-component metal-organic framework nanocomposites (denoted as ZIF@GOx@PBNPs), which possess cascade catalytic activity selectively within the TME. Once reaching a tumor site, GOx and PBNPs inside the nanocomposites are sequentially released and participate in the cascade catalytic reaction. In weak acidic TME, GOx, which effectively catalyzes the oxidation of intratumoral glucose to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and gluconic acid, not only initiates starvation therapy by cutting off the nutrition source for cancer cells but also produces the reactant for sequential Fenton reaction for chemodynamic therapy. Meanwhile, PBNPs, which are released from the ZIF-8 framework dissociated by acidified pH due to the produced gluconic acid, convert the generated H2O2 into harmful radicals to melanomas. In this way, the cascade catalytic reactions of ZIF@GOx@PBNPs enhance reactive oxygen species production and cause oxidative damage to DNA in cancer cells, resulting in remarkable inhibition of tumor growth. The tumor specificity is endowed by using the biomolecules overexpressed in TME as a "switch" to initiate the first catalytic reaction by GOx. Given the significant antitumor efficiency both in vitro and in vivo, ZIF@GOx@PBNPs could be applied as a promising therapeutic platform enabling starvation/chemodynamic synergism, high therapeutic efficiency, and minimal side effects.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is based on the production of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, such as hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Thus, CDT can be advantageous when it is cancer-specific, in terms of efficacy and safety. Therefore, we propose NH2-MIL-101(Fe), a Fe-containing metal-organic framework (MOF), as a carrier of Cu (copper)-chelating agent, d-penicillamine (d-pen; i.e., the NH2-MIL-101(Fe)/d-pen), as well as a catalyst with Fe-metal clusters for Fenton reaction. NH2-MIL-101(Fe)/d-pen in the form of nanoparticles was efficiently taken into cancer cells and released d-pen in a sustained manner. The released d-pen chelated Cu that is highly expressed in cancer environments and this produces extra H2O2, which is then decomposed by Fe in NH2-MIL-101(Fe) to generate •OH. Therefore, the cytotoxicity of NH2-MIL-101(Fe)/d-pen was observed in cancer cells, not in normal cells. We also suggest a formulation of NH2-MIL-101(Fe)/d-pen combined with NH2-MIL-101(Fe) loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug, irinotecan (CPT-11; NH2-MIL-101(Fe)/CPT-11). When intratumorally injected into tumor-bearing mice in vivo, this combined formulation exhibited the most prominent anticancer effects among all tested formulations, owing to the synergistic effect of CDT and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cancer is a multifaceted disease that results from the complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Cancer is a mortal disease with the biggest clinical, societal, and economic burden. Research on better methods of the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer is crucial. Recent advancements in material science have led to the development of metal–organic frameworks, also known as MOFs. MOFs have recently been established as promising and adaptable delivery platforms and target vehicles for cancer therapy. These MOFs have been constructed in a fashion that offers them the capability of drug release that is stimuli-responsive. This feature has the potential to be exploited for cancer therapy that is externally led. This review presents an in-depth summary of the research that has been conducted to date in the field of MOF-based nanoplatforms for cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Encapsulating antigens with zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) exhibits many advantages in vaccine development. However, most viral antigens with complex particulate structures are sensitive to pH or ionic strength, which cannot tolerate harsh synthesis conditions of ZIF-8. Balancing the viral integrity and the growth of ZIF-8 crystals is crucial for the successful encapsulation of these environment-sensitive antigens in ZIF-8. Here, we explored the synthesis of ZIF-8 on inactivated foot and mouth disease virus (known as 146S), which is easily disassociated into no immunogenic subunits under the existing ZIF-8 synthesis conditions. Our results showed that intact 146S could be encapsulated into ZIF-8 with high embedding efficiency by lowering the pH of the 2-MIM solution to 9.0. The size and morphology of 146S@ZIF-8 could be further optimized by increasing the amount of Zn2+ or adding cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). 146S@ZIF-8 with a uniform diameter of about 49 nm could be synthesized by adding 0.01% CTAB, which was speculated to be composed of single 146S armored with nanometer-scale ZIF-8 crystal networks. Plenty of histidine on the 146S surface forms a unique His-Zn-MIM coordination in the near vicinity of 146S particles, which greatly increases the thermostability of 146S by about 5 °C, and the nano-scale ZIF-8 crystal coating exhibited extraordinary stability to resist EDTE-treatment. More importantly, the well-controlled size and morphology enabled 146S@ZIF-8(0.01% CTAB) to facilitate antigen uptake. The immunization of 146S@ZIF-8(4×Zn2+) or 146S@ZIF-8(0.01% CTAB) significantly enhanced the specific antibody titers and promoted the differentiation of memory T cells without adding another immunopotentiator. This study reported for the first time the strategy of the synthesis of crystalline ZIF-8 on an environment-sensitive antigen and demonstrated that the nano-size and appropriate morphology of ZIF-8 are crucial to exert adjuvant effects, thus expanding the application of MOFs in vaccine delivery.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has been considered an emerging strategy for cancer treatment. However, the tumor microenvironment (TME) with slight acidity and restricted H2O2 limits the efficacy of CDT. Here, we report a Hf-Mn-TCPP (Hf = hafnium; Mn-TCPP = 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrinato-manganese (II) chloride) loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx) to realize starving-enhanced CDT. GOx consumes glucose to produce H2O2 and gluconic acid. Gluconic acid increases the acidity of TME and subsequently provides favorable conditions for the Fenton-like reaction based on Hf-Mn-TCPP. The results indicate that GOx-modified Hf-Mn-TCPP provided a great therapeutic effect in starvation-enhanced CDT in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Apoptosis-based treatment plays an important role in regulating the death of tumor cells (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy). Nevertheless, cancer cells can escape surveillance from apoptosis-associated signaling by bypassing other biological pathways and thus result in considerable resistance to therapies. Significantly, ferroptosis, a newly identified type of regulated cell death that is characterized by iron-dependent and lipid peroxidation accumulation, has aroused great research interest in cancer therapy. Increasing approaches have been developed to induce ferroptosis of tumor cells, including using clinically approved drugs, experimentally used compounds, and nanomedicine formulations. More importantly, the emerging nanomedicine-based strategy has made great advances in tumor treatment because of the promising targeting efficacy and enhanced therapeutic effects. In this review, we mainly overview state-of-the-art research on nanomedicine-mediated ferroptosis targeting strategies for synergistic cancer therapies, such as immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and photothermal therapy. The potential targeting mechanism of nanomedicine for ferroptosis induction was also included. Finally, the future development of nanomedicine in the field of ferroptosis-based cell death in tumor treatment will be envisioned, aiming to provide new insight for tumor treatment in the clinic.

Abstract
Starvation therapy kills tumor cells via consuming glucose to cut off their energy supply. However, since glucose oxidase (GOx)-mediated glycolysis is oxygen-dependent, the cascade reaction based on GOx faces the challenge of a hypoxic tumor microenvironment. By decomposition of glycolysis production of H2 O2 into O2 , starvation therapy can be enhanced, but chemodynamic therapy is limited. Here, a close-loop strategy for on demand H2 O2 and O2 delivery, release, and recycling is proposed. The nanoreactor (metal-protein-polyphenol capsule) is designed by incorporating two native proteins, GOx and hemoglobin (Hb), in polyphenol networks with zeolitic imidazolate framework as sacrificial templates. Glycolysis occurs in the presence of GOx with O2 consumption and the produced H2 O2 reacts with Hb to produce highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and methemoglobin (MHb) (Fenton reaction). Benefiting from the different oxygen carrying capacities of Hb and MHb, oxygen on Hb is rapidly released to supplement its consumption during glycolysis. Glycolysis and Fenton reactions are mutually reinforced by oxygen supply, consuming more glucose and producing more hydroxyl radicals and ultimately enhancing both starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy. This cascade nanoreactor exhibits high efficiency for tumor suppression and provides an effective strategy for oxygen-mediated synergistic starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
As an emerging therapeutic modality, chemodynamic therapy (CDT), converting hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), has been developed for tumor-specific therapy. However, the deficiency of endogenous H2O2 and high concentration of glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) weaken the CDT-based tumor-therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a photothermal-enhanced tumor-specific cascade catalytic nanosystem has been constructed on the basis of glucose oxidase (GOD)-functionalized molybdenum (Mo)-based polyoxometalate (POM) nanoclusters, termed as GOD@POMs.
Methods
GOD@POMs were synthesized by a facile one-pot procedure and covalently conjugation. Then, its structure was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In addition, ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared (UV-vis-NIR) absorption spectrum and infrared thermal camera were applied to evaluate the catalytic and photothermal performance, respectively. Moreover, to confirm the therapeutic effects in vitro, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, live/dead staining and ROS staining were performed. Furthermore, the biosafety of GOD@POMs was investigated via blood routine, blood biochemistry and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining in Kunming mice. Besides, the C6 glioma tumor-bearing mice were constructed to evaluate its anti-tumor effects in vivo and its photoacoustic (PA) imaging capability. Notably, RNA sequencing, H&E, TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and Ki-67 staining were also conducted to disclose its underlying anti-tumor mechanism.
Results
In this multifunctional nanosystem, GOD can effectively catalyze the oxidation of intratumoral glucose into gluconic acid and H2O2, achieving the cancer starvation therapy. Meanwhile, the generated gluconic acid decreases the pH in TME resulting in POM aggregation, which enables PA imaging-guided tumor-specific photothermal therapy (PTT), especially in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) biological window. Importantly, the Mo (VI) sites on POM can be reduced to Mo (V) active sites in accompany with GSH depletion, and then the post-produced Mo (V) transforms in situ overproduced H2O2 into singlet oxygen (1O2) via Russell mechanism, achieving self-enhanced CDT. Moreover, the PTT-triggered local tumor temperature elevation augments the synergistic nanocatalytic-therapeutic efficacy.
Conclusions
Consequently, the integration of GOD-induced starvation therapy, H2O2 self-supply/GSH-depletion enhanced Mo-based CDT, and POM aggregation-mediated PTT endow the GOD@POMs with remarkable synergistic anticancer outcomes with neglectable adverse effects.

Biomolecule-based Stimuli-responsive Nanohybrids for Tumor-specific and Cascade-enhanced Synergistic Therapy. Acta Biomater 2022; 152:484-494. [PMID: 36028197 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.08.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Poor tumor specificity is one of the key obstacles for clinical applications of nanotheranostic agents, consequently leading to serious side effects and unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy. Herein, biomolecule-based nanohybrids (named as Hb-PDA-GOx) with multiple stimuli-responsiveness were designed and fabricated to enhance tumor-specific therapy. The nanohybrids embodied two proteins, i.e., hemoglobin (Hb) and glucose oxidase (GOx), which exhibited cascade catalytic activity selectively within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Specifically, GOx catalyzes the overexpressed glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which not only initiated starvation therapy (ST) through cutting off the nutrition supply for carcinoma cells, but also provided H2O2 for sequential Fenton reaction induced by Hb that generating biotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Moreover, localized heat generation from polydopamine (PDA) in the nanohybrids can implement photothermal therapy (PTT) and reinforce the CDT efficacy. Excitingly, effective eradication of solid tumors and significant suppression of metastatic tumors growth were achieved by utilizing Hb-PDA-GOx as a versatile theranostic agent. All these results had been verified by in vitro and/or in vivo experiments. In light of the superior anticancer effects and insignificant systemic toxicity, the as-fabricated biomolecule-based nanohybrids could be employed as a promising agent for tumor-specific therapy. More importantly, the high biocompatibility and biodegradability of the selected biomolecules would facilitate subsequent clinical translation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1) A facile one-pot synthesis strategy was proposed to fabricate biomolecule-based tumor theranostic agent with high biocompatibility and biodegradability, which would facilitate subsequent clinical translation; 2) The as-developed theranostic agent was endowed with multiple stimuli-responsiveness for achieving tumor-specific and cascade-enhanced synergistic therapy; 3) The in vivo experiments demonstrated that the as-developed theranostic agent can not only effectively eradicate solid tumors, but also significantly suppress metastatic tumors growth.

Abstract
Enzymes are a class of natural catalysts with high efficiency, specificity, and selectivity unmatched by their synthetic counterparts and dictate a myriad of reactions that constitute various cascades in living cells. The development of suitable supports is significant for the immobilization of structurally flexible enzymes, enabling biomimetic transformation in the extracellular environment. Accordingly, porous organic frameworks, including metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), have emerged as ideal supports for the immobilization of enzymes because of their structural features including ultrahigh surface area, tailorable porosity, and versatile framework compositions. Specially, organic framework-encased enzymes have shown significant enhancement in stability and reusability, and their tailorable pore opening provides a gatekeeper-like effect for guest sieving, which is beneficial for mimicking intracellular biocatalysis processes. This immobilization technique brings new insight into the development of next-generation enzyme materials and shows huge potential in healthcare applications, such as biomarker diagnosis, biostorage, and cancer and antibacterial therapies. In this review, we describe the state-of-the-art strategies for the structural immobilization of enzymes using the well-explored MOFs and burgeoning COFs and HOFs as scaffolds, with special emphasis on how these porous framework-confined technologies can provide a favorable microenvironment for mimicking natural biocatalysis. Subsequently, advanced characterization techniques for enzyme conformation, the effect of the confined microenvironment on the activity of enzymes, and the emerging healthcare applications will be surveyed.

Abstract
Ordinarily, cancer cells possess features of abnormally increased nutrient intake and metabolic pathways. The disorder of glucose metabolism is the most important among them. Therefore, starvation therapy targeting glucose metabolism specifically, which results in metabolic disorders, restricted synthesis, and inhibition of tumor growth, has been developed for cancer therapy. However, issues such as inadequate targeting effectiveness and drug tolerance impede their clinical transformation. In recent years, nanomaterial-assisted starvation treatment has made significant progress in addressing these challenges, whether as a monotherapy or in combination with other medications. Herein, representative researches on the construction of nanosystems conducting starvation therapy are introduced. Elaborate designs and interactions between different treatment mechanisms are meticulously mentioned. Not only are traditional treatments based on glucose oxidase involved, but also newly sprung small molecule agents targeting glucose metabolism. The obstacles and potential for advancing these anticancer therapies were also highlighted in this review.

Abstract
Natural enzyme-based catalytic cascades hold great promise for cancer therapy, but their clinical utility is greatly hindered by the loss of their functions during in vivo delivery. Herein, a plasmonic trienzyme-integrated metal-organic framework (plasEnMOF) nanoplatform with high-efficiency enzyme cascades is reported for synergistic starvation, chemodynamic, and plasmonic hyperthermia trimodal therapy of hypoxic tumors. These plasEnMOFs are created with encapsulation of near-infrared-II (NIR-II) plasmonic Au nanorods and natural enzymes-catalase (CAT), glucose oxidase (GOx), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) within zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) MOFs. As a trienzyme cascade system, the plasEnMOFs effectively deplete intratumoral glucose and generate toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) for starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) combined with the plasmonic hyperthermia therapy (PHT). The enhanced glucose consumption and ROS generation by the NIR-II plasmonic photothermal effect are also demonstrated. The improved chemo- and thermotolerance of the encapsulated natural enzymes within the protective ZIF-8 MOFs are evidenced. With the integrated enzyme cascades and NIR-II photothermal effects, these plasEnMOFs are demonstrated with exceptional therapeutic effects on 4T1 xenograft tumors through the combined starvation/CDT/PHT therapy. This work highlights the superiority of natural enzyme cascade systems integrated in plasmonic MOFs for high-efficiency enzymatic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a promising platform for drug delivery, and information regarding the stability of ZIF-8 nanoparticles in cell culture media is essential for proper interpretation of in vitro experimental results. In this work, we report a quantitative investigation of the ZIF-8 nanoparticle's stability in most common cell culture media. To this purpose, ZIF-8 nanoparticles containing sterically shielded nitroxide probes with high resistance to reduction were synthesized and studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The degradation of ZIF-8 in cell media was monitored by tracking the cargo leakage. It was shown that nanoparticles degrade at least partially in all studied media, although the degree of cargo leakage varies widely. We found a strong correlation between the amount of escaped cargo and total concentration of amino acids in the environment. We also established the role of individual amino acids in ZIF-8 degradation. Finally, 2-methylimidazole preliminary dissolved in cell culture media partially inhibits the degradation of ZIF-8 nanoparticles. The guidelines for choosing the proper cell culture medium for the in vitro study of ZIF-8 nanoparticles have been formulated.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Inherent limitations of single cancer therapy are overcome by multi-therapy modality, which integrates characteristics of each therapeutic modality and material chemistry. The multi-modal method has the potential for becoming one of the next generation options for cancer treatments. Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an efficient, non-invasive treatment method that can be used on various cancer types. We propose an acid-triggered self-destructing nano-biocatalyst integrated starvation/chemical/photothermal triple therapy that is based on design principles and biomedical applications of GOx cancer treatment methods.
Methods
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta potentials were used to analyze the physical as well as chemical properties of MoS2@DOX/GOx@MnO2 (M@D/G@M). Further, Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to assess the compositions of the nanocatalysts. The biological effects of M@D/G@M on cells were studied in vitro by inverted fluorescence microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), flow cytometry, CCK-8 test, and hemolysis test. Treatment effects of the nanocatalysts were evaluated in MHCC-97H tumor BALB/c mice, whose body weights, tumor local temperature, tumor volumes, and tumor histological changes were evaluated.
Results
There was a high DOX encapsulation efficiency of M@D/G@M (90.233%). The photothermal conversion efficiency (η) of M@D/G@M is 25.2%, and its oxygen production within 5 min reached 27.5 mg L−1. Cell internalization analysis showed that within 4 h, M@D/G@M was almost completely absorbed by HepG2 cells. Further, the highest red fluorescence and apoptosis effects of dead cells (59.07% apoptosis) as well as the lowest tumor volume index of mice (0.2862%) were observed in the M@D/G@M + pH6.0 + NIR treatment group.
Conclusions
Our findings inform the development and applications of multi-modal methods in tumor therapy.

Abstract
Organic near-infrared fluorescent dye mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) suffer from heat shock response, since, heat shock proteins (HSPs) are overexpressed and can repair the proteins damaged by PTT and PDT. Starvation therapy by glucose oxide (GOx) can inhibit the heat shock response by limiting the energy supply. However, the delivery of sufficient and active GOx remains a challenge. To solve this problem, we utilize liposomes as drug carriers and prepare GOx loaded liposome (GOx@Lipo) with a high drug loading content (12.0%) and high enzymatic activity. The successful delivery of GOx shows excellent inhibition of HSPs and enhances PTT and PDT. Additionally, we apply the same liposome formulation to load near-infrared dye 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindotricarbo cyanine iodide (DiR) and prepare DiR contained liposomes (DiR@Lipo) for PTT and PDT. The liposomal formulation substantially enhances the PTT and PDT properties of DiR as well as the cellular uptake and tumor accumulation. Finally, the combination therapy shows excellent tumor inhibition on 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. Interestingly, we also find that the starvation therapy can efficiently inhibit tumor metastasis, which is probably due to the immunogenic effect. Our work presents a biocompatible and effective carrier for the combination of starvation therapy and phototherapy, emphasizing the importance of auxiliary starvation therapy against tumor metastasis and offering important guidance for clinical PTT and PDT.

Abstract
Nowadays, nano-/micro-motors are considered as powerful tools in different areas ranging from cleaning all types of contaminants, to development of Targeted drug delivery systems and diagnostic activities. Therefore, the development and application of nano-/micro-motors based on metal-organic frameworks with nanozyme activity (abbreviated as: MOF-NZs) in biomedical activities have received much interest recently. Therefore, after investigating the catalytic properties and applications of MOF-NZs in the treatment of cancer, this study intends to point out their key role in the production of biocompatible nano-/micro-motors. Since reducing the toxicity of MOF-NZ nano-/micro-motors can pave the way for medical activities, this article examines the methods of making biocompatible nanomotors to address the benefits and drawbacks of the required propellants. In the following, an analysis of the amplified directional motion of MOF-NZ nano-/micro-motors under physiological conditions is presented, which can improve the motor behaviors in the propulsion function, conductivity, targeting, drug release, and possible elimination. Meanwhile, by explaining the use of MOF-NZ nano-/micro-motors in the treatment of cancer through the possible synergy of nanomotors with different therapies, it was revealed that MOF-NZ nano-/micro-motors can be effective in the treatment of cancer. Ultimately, by analyzing the potential challenges of MOF-NZ nano-/micro-motors in the treatment of cancers, we hope to encourage researchers to develop MOF-NZs-based nanomotors, in addition to opening up new ideas to address ongoing problems.

Abstract
Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide, and traditional chemotherapy or a single therapeutic strategy often fails to achieve expected results in cancer treatment. Thus, the development of a method to realize controlled drug delivery and synergistic therapy is required. Herein, MOF-based nanoparticles named RhI-DOX-GOD@ZIF-90 are synthesized using RhI (a near-infrared fluorescent dye), DOX (an anti-cancer drug) and GOD (glucose oxidase). RhI and DOX are encapsulated inside the ZIF-90 framework and GOD is loaded on the surface of ZIF-90. Owing to the fact that the ATP level in cancer cells is abnormally higher than that in normal cells, RhI-DOX-GOD@ZIF-90 nanoparticles are destructed only in cancer cells. RhI is released to give outstanding NIR emission and realize controlled drug delivery. DOX is released and cancer cells are killed by chemotherapy. Also, GOD is released to consume glucose and achieve the purpose of starving the cancer cells. By making full use of the advantages of near-infrared emission, RhI-DOX-GOD@ZIF-90 nanoparticles can be used to image ATP in tumor-bearing mice. At the same time, DOX and GOD can be released accurately at tumor sites of mice and excellent anti-tumor efficiency by synergistic chemotherapy and starvation therapy is achieved.

Abstract
Surface charge of biological and medical nanocarriers has been demonstrated to play an important role in cellular uptake. Owing to the unique physicochemical properties, charge-reversal delivery strategy has rapidly developed as a promising approach for drug delivery application, especially for cancer treatment. Charge-reversal nanocarriers are neutral/negatively charged at physiological conditions while could be triggered to positively charged by specific stimuli (i.e., pH, redox, ROS, enzyme, light or temperature) to achieve the prolonged blood circulation and enhanced tumor cellular uptake, thus to potentiate the antitumor effects of delivered therapeutic agents. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the recent advances of charge-reversal nanocarriers, including: (i) the effect of surface charge on cellular uptake; (ii) charge-conversion mechanisms responding to several specific stimuli; (iii) relation between the chemical structure and charge reversal activity; and (iv) polymeric materials that are commonly applied in the charge-reversal delivery systems.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a cell death pathway involving iron-related generation of lipid hydroperoxides for achieving incredible tumor suppression, has reignited the hope of chemotherapy in tumor treatment in the past decade. With extensive research studies, various bioactive proteins and cellular pathways have been demonstrated to regulate the occurrence and development of ferroptosis. The gradually established ferroptotic regulatory network is conducive to find effective proteins from a holistic perspective and guides better designs for future ferroptotic tumor therapies. The first section of this review summarizes the recent advances in ferroptotic regulatory mechanisms of proteins and attempts to clarify their latent function in the ferroptotic regulatory network. Second, the existing protein-mediated ferroptotic tumor nanotherapeutic strategies were reviewed, including the protein-mediated iron supplement, cell membrane transporter inhibition, glutathione peroxidase 4 interference, glutathione depletion, bioenzyme-mediated reactive oxygen species generation, heat shock protein inhibition, and tumor-overexpressed protein-triggered drug release for ferroptotic therapy. Finally, the future expectations and challenges of ferroptotic tumor nanotherapeutics for clinical cancer therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
The low bioavailability of photosensitizers (PSs) and the hypoxia nature of tumors often limit the efficacy of current photodynamic therapy (PDT). Therefore, improving the utilization of three essential components (PS, light, and O2) in tumors will enhance PDT efficacy substantially. Herein, we have developed a red blood cell (RBC) biomimetic theranostic nanovesicle (named SPN-Hb@RBCM) with improved photostability, accumulation of PSs, and oxygen self-supply ability to enhance PDT efficacy upon near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. Such a biomimetic nanovesicle was prepared by a red blood cell membrane (RBCM)-camouflaged hemoglobin (Hb)-linked semiconducting polymer nanoparticle (SPN-Hb). The RBCM coating enables the long-term circulation of SPN-Hb due to the membrane-mediated immune evasion, allowing for more effective PS accumulation in tumors. Under 808 nm laser irradiation, the photostable SPN can serve as both a photodynamic and a second-near-infrared-window (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging agent; meanwhile, the conjugated Hb can be used as an oxygen carrier to relieve tumor hypoxia for enhancing PDT efficacy. In addition, Hb can also react with the tumor microenvironment overproduced H2O2 to generate cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OHs) for chemodynamic therapy (CDT), which further achieve synergistic effects for PDT. Thus, this study proposed a promising biomimetic theranostic nanoagent for enhancing tumor oxygenation and NIR-II fluorescence-guided synergetic CDT/PDT against hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
A DNA structure-based nanoreactor has emerged as a promising biomaterial for antitumor therapy with its intrinsic biodegradability, biocompatibility, and tunable multifunctionality. Herein, the intelligent DNA nanohydrogel was reported to target cancer cells, control the size, be pH-responsive, and be loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx). Two kinds of X-shaped DNA monomers and DNA linkers were assembled to form a DNA nanohydrogel by hybridization. GOx was successfully encapsulated in the DNA nanohydrogel. The DNA linker was designed with i-motif sequences and modified with ferrocene (Fc). The i-motif-like quadruplex structures were formed in acidic tumor microenvironments, resulting in the disassembly of the DNA nanohydrogel to release GOx. The GOx could oxidize the intratumoral glucose to produce gluconic acid and H2O2. The generated H2O2 was catalyzed by Fc to induce toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which could effectively kill cancer cells. Both the in vitro and the in vivo results demonstrated that the multifunctional DNA nanohydrogel had high-efficiency tumor suppression through combined chemodynamic and starvation cancer therapies.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) catalyzed by transition metal and starvation therapy catalyzed by intracellular metabolite oxidases are both classic tumor treatments based on nanocatalysts. CDT monotherapy has limitations including low catalytic efficiency of metal ions and insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Also, single starvation therapy shows limited ability on resisting tumors. The “metal-oxidase” cascade catalytic system is to introduce intracellular metabolite oxidases into the metal-based nanoplatform, which perfectly solves the shortcomings of the above-mentioned monotherapiesIn this system, oxidases can not only consume tumor nutrients to produce a “starvation effect”, but also provide CDT with sufficient H2O2 and a suitable acidic environment, which further promote synergy between CDT and starvation therapy, leading to enhanced antitumor effects. More importantly, the “metal-oxidase” system can be combined with other antitumor therapies (such as photothermal therapy, hypoxia-activated drug therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy) to maximize their antitumor effects. In addition, both metal-based nanoparticles and oxidases can activate tumor immunity through multiple pathways, so the combination of the “metal-oxidase” system with immunotherapy has a powerful synergistic effect. This article firstly introduced the metals which induce CDT and the oxidases which induce starvation therapy and then described the “metal-oxidase” cascade catalytic system in detail. Moreover, we highlight the application of the “metal-oxidase” system in combination with numerous antitumor therapies, especially in combination with immunotherapy, expecting to provide new ideas for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Understanding the impact of the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles (NPs) on cellular uptake is important to design optimal drug-delivery nanocarriers. Therein, the influence of NP elasticity on bio-nano-interactions remains elusive due to the complexity of factors affecting cellular uptake. Herein, we synthesized SiO2 capsules with tunable elasticity using metal-organic frameworks as templates to investigate their interactions with cells. Young's moduli of the resultant water-filled SiO2 capsules with identical size, shape, composition, and surface charge can be controlled from 3.8 MPa to 4.7 GPa via the variation of capsule shell thickness. As a result, increased elasticity of SiO2 capsules results in higher cellular uptake. Stiff SiO2 capsules have almost 9 times as much cellular uptake as the soft ones. In addition, the elasticity of SiO2 capsules influences cellular uptake pathways, where the clathrin-mediated pathway is preferred for stiff capsules while the uptake of the soft capsules is mostly mediated by a caveolae-dependent pathway. This work confirms the important role of NP elasticity in nonspecific cell interactions, which can provide a foundational understanding for engineering drug-delivery nanocarriers.

Abstract
Recent investigations reveal that lactate is not a waste product but a major energy source for cells, especially in the mitochondria, which can support cellular survival under glucose shortage. Accordingly, the new understanding of lactate prompts to target it together with glucose to pursue a more efficient cancer starvation therapy. Herein, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoplatforms are used to co-deliver α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate (CHC) and glucose oxidase (GOx) and fulfill the task of simultaneous depriving of lactate and glucose, resulting in a new nanomedicine CHC/GOx@ZIF-8. The synthesis conditions are carefully optimized in order to yield monodisperse and uniform nanomedicines, which will ensure reliable and steady therapeutic properties. Compared with the strategies aiming at a single carbon source, improved starvation therapy efficacy is observed. Besides, more than boosting the energy shortage, CHC/GOx@ZIF-8 can block the lactate-fueled respiration and relieve solid tumor hypoxia, which will enhance GOx catalysis activity, depleting extra glucose, and producing more cytotoxic H2 O2 . By the synergistically enhanced anti-tumor effect, both in vitro and in vivo cancer-killing efficacies of CHC/GOx@ZIF-8 show twice enhancements than the GOx mediated therapy. The results demonstrate that the dual-depriving of lactate and glucose is a more advanced strategy for strengthening cancer starvation therapy.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx)-mediated starvation therapy holds great promise in cancer treatment. However, the worse hypoxia conditions result into low therapeutic efficiency, and undegradability of carriers poses potential threats to living bodies. To address this, herein a bioinspired MnO2 nanosystem with controllable surface was developed for highly efficient starvation/gas synergistic enhanced therapy. Biomimetic design and further surface modification unprecedentedly endowed the nanosystem with ultrahigh loading capacity for GOx and l-Arginine (l-Arg) and special selectivity toward cancer cells. Especially, the dissipative O2 during starvation therapy was well replenished by a positive cycle formed by the nanosystem, which continuously reproduced O2 and accelerated glucose consumption. The abundant H2O2 was further used to oxidize l-Arg into nitric oxide to realize gas therapy. In vitro and in vivo testing confirmed that this new treatment effectively blocked the nutrition and energy sources of cells to obtain excellent therapeutic effect. We reported the first experimental item of this nanosystem for inhibiting cancer cell migration. Considering the novel design concept with facile biomimetic methods, effective co-loading of endogenous substances, and good anti-tumor and anti-migration effects, this work provided new theoretical and experimental basis for starvation therapy and inspired people to design more delicate platform for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Smart theragnostic nanoplatforms exhibit great promise in clinical tumor treatment. The Fe-based Fenton reaction in tumor sites may generate reactive oxygen species to kill cancer cells with negligible side effects on normal tissues. However, its efficiency and duration are limited by the low intracellular concentration of H2 O2 , weak acidicity of tumor tissue, and low catalytic activity of conventional Fenton reagents. Herein, a facile strategy is proposed to efficiently overcome these obstacles. An efficient enzymatic/Fenton-starvation nanoreactor PMs loaded with glucose oxidase and perfluoropentane (PGPMs) is constructed through synthesizing methoxy-PEG-carboxymethy-modified iron (Fe2+ /Fe3+ )-based metal-organic frameworks (PMs), followed by loading glucose oxidase (GOx) and perfluoropentane (PFP). PGPMs accumulating in the tumor tissue exhibit tumor microenvironment-responsive biodegradable behavior and unusual catalytic activity for Fenton reaction advantageous over Fe3+ -based MOFs. Meanwhile, encapsulation of GOx into PGPMs further significantly increases the catalytic activity for Fenton reaction and also induces starvation therapy. PGPMs also exhibit considerable capabilities of ultrasound and tumor microenvironment-responsive T2 MR imaging applicable for contrast-enhanced diagnosis. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate the great diagnostic and therapeutic potentials of this nanoreactor in tumor.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx), traditionally regarded as an oxidoreductase with high β-D-glucose specificity, has been widely applied as sensing probe for β-D-glucose detection. However, it is found that the specificity of GOx is not absolute and GOx cannot decern β-D-glucose among its isomers such as xylose, mannose and galactose. The existence of the other monosaccharides in sensing system could compromise the sensitivity for β-D-glucose, therefore, it is of great urgency to achieve the highly specific catalytic performance of GOx. Herein, porous metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are prepared as the host matrix for immobilization of both GOx and bovine hemoglobin (BHb), obtained a cascaded catalytic system (MOF@GOx@BHb) with both enhanced GOx activity and peroxidase-like activity owing to the spatially confined effect. Then, using β-D-glucose as both template molecules and substances, hydroxyl radicals are produced continuously and applied for initiating the polymerization of molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) on the surface of MOF@GOx@BHb. Impressively, the obtaining molecularly imprinted GOx (noted as MOF@GOx@BHb-MIPs) achieves the highly sensitive and specific detection of β-D-glucose in the concentration range of 0.5-20 μM with the LOD = 0.4 μM (S/N = 3) by colorimetry. Similarly, MOF@GOx@BHb-MIPs are subsequently obtained using mannose, xylose and galactose as template molecules, respectively, and also show satisfied specific catalytic activity towards corresponding templates, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed strategy to achieve highly specific catalytic performance of GOx.
