JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2024; 35:32. [PMID: 38896160 PMCID: PMC11186913 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-024-06802-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
This study leverages nanotechnology by encapsulating indocyanine green (ICG) and paclitaxel (Tax) using zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) as a scaffold. This study aims to investigate the chemo-photothermal therapeutic potential of ZIF-8@ICG@Tax nanoparticles (NPs) in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). An "all-in-one" theranostic ZIF-8@ICG@Tax NPs was conducted by self-assembly based on electrostatic interaction. First, the photothermal effect, stability, pH responsiveness, drug release, and blood compatibility of ZIF-8@ICG@Tax were evaluated through in vitro testing. Furthermore, the hepatic and renal toxicity of ZIF-8@ICG@Tax were assessed through in vivo testing. Additionally, the anticancer effects of these nanoparticles were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. Uniform and stable chemo-photothermal ZIF-8@ICG@Tax NPs had been successfully synthesized and had outstanding drug releasing capacities. Moreover, ZIF-8@ICG@Tax NPs showed remarkable responsiveness dependent both on pH in the tumor microenvironment and NIR irradiation, allowing for targeted drug delivery and controlled drug release. NIR irradiation can enhance the tumor cell response to ZIF-8@ICG@Tax uptake, thereby promoting the anti-tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. ZIF-8@ICG@Tax and NIR irradiation have demonstrated remarkable synergistic anti-tumor growth properties compared to their individual components. This novel theranostic chemo-photothermal NPs hold great potential as a viable treatment option for NSCLC.

Acid-Responsive Decomposable Nanomedicine Based on Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks for Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging/Chemotherapy Combined Tumor Theranostics. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:823. [PMID: 38931943 PMCID: PMC11207643 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16060823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles (NPs) are gaining traction in tumor theranostics for their effectiveness in encapsulating both imaging agents and therapeutic drugs. While typically, similar hydrophilic molecules are encapsulated in either pure aqueous or organic environments, few studies have explored co-encapsulation of chemotherapeutic drugs and imaging agents with varying hydrophilicity and, consequently, constructed multifunctional ZIF-8 composite NPs for acid-responsive, near-infrared fluorescence imaging/chemotherapy combined tumor theranostics. Here, we present a one-pot method for the synthesis of uniform Cy5.5&DOX@ZIF-8 nanoparticles in mixed solvents, efficiently achieving simultaneous encapsulation of hydrophilic doxorubicin (DOX) and hydrophobic Cyanine-5.5 (Cy5.5). Surface decoration with dextran (Dex) enhanced colloidal stability and biocompatibility. The method significantly facilitated co-loading of Cy5.5 dyes and DOX drugs, endowing the composite NPs with notable fluorescent imaging capabilities and pH-responsive chemotherapy capacities. In vivo near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging in A549 tumor-bearing mice demonstrated significant accumulation of Cy5.5 at tumor sites due to enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effects, with fluorescence intensities approximately 48-fold higher than free Cy5.5. Enhanced therapeutic efficiency was observed in composite NPs compared to free DOX, validating tumor-targeted capability. These findings suggest ZIF-8-based nanomedicines as promising platforms for multifunctional tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received extensive attention in tumor therapy because of their advantages, including large specific surface area, regular pore size, adjustable shape, and facile functionalization. MOFs are porous materials formed by the coordination bonding of metal clusters and organic ligands. This review summarized the most recent advancements in tumor treatment based on nMOFs. First, we discuss the classification of MOFs, which primarily include the series of isoreticular MOF (IRMOF), zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), coordination pillared-layer (CPL), Materials of Institute Lavoisier (MIL), porous coordination network (PCN), University of Oslo (UiO) and Biological metal-organic frameworks (BioMOFs). Then, we discuss the use of nMOFs in antitumor therapy, including drug delivery strategies, photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and combination therapy. Finally, the obstacles and opportunities in nMOFs are discussed.

Abstract
Contamination of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) in the environment and food can pose a serious threat to human health, and there is an urgent need to establish sensitive on-situ detection methods to mitigate its hazards. In this study, we have developed a field assay that combines magnetic separation technology with antibody-labeled ZIF-8 encapsulating glucose oxidase (GOD@ZIF-8@Ab) to capture and specifically identify L. monocytogenes while GOD catalyzes glucose catabolism to produce signal changes in glucometers. On the other side, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) were added to recombined with the H2O2 generated by the catalyst to form a colorimetric reaction system that changes from colorless to blue. The smartphone software was used for RGB analysis to complete the on-site colorimetric detection of L. monocytogenes. This dual-mode biosensor showed good detection performance for the on-site application of L. monocytogenes in lake water and juice samples, both with a limit of detection up to 101 CFU/mL and a good linear range of 101-106 CFU/mL. Therefore, this dual-mode on-site detection biosensor has a promising application for the early screening of L. monocytogenes in environmental and food samples.

Abstract
Nano-fluorescent metal-organic frameworks (NF-MOFs), a kind of newly emerged nano-scaled platform, can provide visual, rapid, and highly sensitive optical imaging of cancer lesions both in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, the excellent porosity, structural tunability, and chemical modifiability also enable NF-MOFs to achieve simultaneous loading of targeted molecules and therapeutic agents. These NF-MOFs not only possess excellent targeted imaging ability, but also can guide the carried cargos to perform precise therapy, drawing considerable attention in current framework of anticancer drug design. In this review, we outline the fluorescence types and response mechanisms of NF-MOFs, and highlight their applications in cancer diagnosis and therapy in recent years. Based on this panorama, we also discuss current issues and future trends of NF-MOFs in biomedical fields, attempting to clarify the potential value of fluorescence imaging guided anticancer investigations.

Abstract
Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a widely used antimalarial agent, has clinical potential for the treatment of hepatic carcinoma. Although chemotherapy is indispensable for tumor therapy, it is generally limited by poor solubility, low efficiency, rapid clearance, and side effects. As an emerging treatment method, photothermal therapy (PTT) has many outstanding properties, but suffers from poor photostability of photosensitizer and incomplete ablation. Multimodal therapies could combine the advantages of different therapy methods to improve antitumor efficiency. Hence, we designed a nano-delivery system (ICG&DHA@ZIF-8) using zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with a high porous rate and pH sensitivity property, to co-load DHA and indocyanine green (ICG). Dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the prepared nanoparticles. The photothermal conversion and drug release performances of ICG&DHA@ZIF-8 were investigated. In vitro antitumor efficacy and cellular uptake were studied. The mechanism of the combination treatment was studied by reactive oxygen species level detection and western blot assays. In vivo antitumor assays were then studied with the guidance of ex vivo imaging. The results showed that the ICG&DHA@ZIF-8 based combination therapy could efficiently kill hepatic carcinoma cells and suppress tumor growth. This research provides a potential nanodrug for the treatment of hepatic carcinoma.

Abstract
Simple Summary The biomedical application of metal–organic frameworks in cancer theranostics has become a research hotspot with rapid progress. As a typical representative, ZIF–8 attracts increasing interest from researchers due to its good performance and potential. In this review, we updated recent discoveries on the ZIF–8–based nanoplatforms for cancer, discussed the problems in current research and the obstacles for clinical translation of ZIF–8, and also proposed an outlook on its future development. Abstract Cancer severely threatens human health and has remained the leading cause of disease–related death for decades. With the rapid advancement of nanomedicine, nanoscale metal–organic frameworks are believed to be potentially applied in the treatment and biomedical imaging for various tumors. Zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF)–8 attracts increasing attention due to its high porosity, large specific surface area, and pH–responsiveness. The designs and modifications of ZIF–8 nanoparticles, as well as the strategy of drug loading, demand a multifaceted and comprehensive understanding of nanomaterial features and tumor characteristics. We searched for studies on ZIF–8–based nanoplatforms in tumor theranostics on Web of Science from 2015 to 2022, mainly focused on the research published in the past 3 years, summarized the progress of their applications in tumor imaging and treatment, and discussed the favorable aspects of ZIF–8 nanoparticles for tumor theranostics as well as the future opportunities and potential challenges. As a kind of metal–organic framework material full of potential, ZIF–8 can be expected to be combined with more therapeutic systems in the future and continue to contribute to all aspects of tumor therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
Thrombotic diseases have the characteristics of long latency period, rapid onset, and high mortality rate, which seriously threaten people’s life and health. The aim of this research is to fabricate a novel indocyanine green complex of urokinase (ICG@uPA) and employ the amphiphilic PEG-PLGA polymer to deliver the complex as an enzyme-phototherapeutic synergistic thrombolysis platform. The noncovalent indocyanine green (ICG) complex of urokinase (ICG@uPA) was prepared via supramolecular self-assembly and then encapsulated into cRGD decorated polymeric nanoparticles (cRGD-ICG-uPA NPs) by double-emulsion solvent evaporation method. Then the nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized in terms of particle size, optical properties, in vitro release, etc. The targeting and thrombolytic effect of the nanoparticles were studied both in vitro and in vivo. ICG@uPA and cRGD-ICG-uPA NPs displayed significantly higher photostability and laser energy conversion efficiency than free ICG. Concomitantly, the NPs exhibited selective binding affinity to the activated platelets and specific accumulation in the mouse mesenteric vessel thrombus. Significant thrombolysis was achieved in vivo by photo-assisted synergistic therapy with reduced dose and systemic bleeding risk of uPA. Our results prove that the functional PLGA nanoparticle loaded with the ICG@uPA offers a novel option for effective and safe thrombolytic treatment.

Abstract
Photothermal agents (PTAs) based on organic small molecules with near-infrared (NIR) absorption (700-900 nm) have attracted increasing attention in cancer photothermal therapy (PTT). However, NIR organic PTAs often suffer from poor stability. Fluorescein and its derivatives have been widely used in biological imaging and sensing due to their minimal cytotoxicity. But fluorescein and its derivatives have not been used in PTT because most of them don't have NIR absorption. In this work, two NIR naphthofluorescein derivatives, namely NFOM-1 and NFOM-2, were synthesized. In contrast to NFOM-1, NFOM-2 possesses an intramolecular hydrogen bonding network, which extends the absorption to the NIR region and significantly improves the photostability. NFOM-2 was encapsulated into an amphiphilic polymer (DSPE-mPEG2000) to obtain NFOMNPs as PTAs. Compared to the organic molecule NFOM-2, the absorption of NFOMNPs is broadened and further red-shifted to fit an 808 nm light source. Moreover, NFOMNPs exhibit good photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE, 40.4%, 808 nm, 1.0 W cm-2), remarkable photostability and physiological stability, and significant PTT efficacy in vitro and in vivo was achieved. In other words, this study provides an intramolecular hydrogen bond network strategy and a fluorescein-based molecular platform to construct ultra-stable PTAs for efficient NIR PTT.

Abstract
Cancer is still one of the most life-threatening diseases in the world. Among the various cancer therapeutic strategies, photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted considerable attention due to its high treatment efficacy, low invasive burden, and minor side effects. Microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are potential materials for photothermal tumor treatment thanks to their high surface areas, suitable pore geometry, and easy functionalization. Through designating organic linkers, encapsulating PTT agents and fabricating MOF hybrids, MOF-based treatment platforms have great potential in PTT. In this review, we mainly summarize the recent advances of MOFs in photothermal combined cancer therapy. The present challenges and possible future prospects in this field are also explored.

Monodisperse ZIF-8@dextran nanoparticles co-loaded with hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional cargos for combined near-infrared fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Impressive developments have been achieved with the use of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) as nanocarriers for tumor theranostics in recent decades by incorporating imaging agents and therapeutic drugs within ZIF-8. However, the simultaneous immobilization of hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional molecules into ZIF-8 nanoparticles in water or organic solvents still presents a daunting challenge. Herein, we developed a new synthesis/encapsulation two-in-one (denoted as one-pot) approach to synthesize uniform dextran-modified Cy5.5&ICG@ZIF-8-Dex nanoparticles in DMSO/H2O solvent mixtures, which enabled the simultaneous encapsulation of hydrophilic indocyanine green (ICG) and hydrophobic cyanine-5.5 (Cy5.5) during the same step. It was confirmed that the one-pot approach in this mixed solvents facilitated the loading of ICG and Cy5.5 molecules. Moreover, the encapsulation of Cy5.5 and ICG within ZIF-8 nanoparticles endowed them with fluorescence imaging capability and photothermal conversion capacity, respectively. The in vivo near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent images of A549-bearing mice injected with Cy5.5&ICG@ZIF-8-Dex demonstrated sufficient accumulations of Cy5.5 at tumor sites due to the enhanced permeability and retention effect. Most impressively, the fluorescent intensity of Cy5.5&ICG@ZIF-8-Dex at tumor site was approximately 40-fold higher than that of free Cy5.5. Additionally, the results of in vivo infrared imaging and photothermal therapy of Cy5.5&ICG@ZIF-8-Dex showed enhanced therapeutic efficiency in comparison with free ICG, further confirming its tumor-targeting capability and photothermal capacity. Therefore, this multifunctional system based on ZIF-8 nanocarriers offered a potential nanoplatform for tumor-targeting theranostics, thus broadening the synthesis and applications of ZIF-8 composite nanoparticles for NIR fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy in the biomedical field. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Simultaneous immobilization of hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules into ZIF-8 nanoparticles still remains a daunting challenge. Therefore, we have developed a new synthesis/encapsulation two-in-one approach to synthesize uniform Cy5.5&ICG@ZIF-8-Dex composite nanoparticles in DMSO/H2O solvent mixtures, which enabled the simultaneous encapsulation of hydrophilic indocyanine green (ICG) and hydrophobic cyanine-5.5 (Cy5.5) functional molecules during a single step. The results showed that the co-loading of Cy5.5 and ICG within the ZIF-8 nanoparticles endowed them with a remarkable fluorescence imaging capability and photothermal conversion capacity. Based on their enhanced convenience and efficacy to simultaneously encapsulate hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules, the multifunctional nanocarriers that were prepared in the DMSO/H2O mixed solvents provide a potential nanoplatform toward fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy for tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Recently, hypothermal photothermal therapy (HPTT) seemed essential for the future clinical transformation of cancer optical therapies. However, at a lower working temperature, heat shock proteins (HSPs) seriously affect the anti-tumor effect of HPTT. This work reports a reasonable design of a dual-responsive nanoplatform for the synergistic treatment of chemotherapy and HPTT. We adopted a one-step method to wrap indocyanine green (ICG) into imidazole skeleton-8 (ZIF-8) and further loaded it with the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX). Furthermore, we introduced Hsp-70 siRNA to block the affection of HSPs at an upstream node, thereby avoiding the side effects of traditional heat shock protein inhibitors. The prepared ZIF-8@ICG@DOX@siRNA nanoparticles (ZID-Si NPs) could significantly improve the stability of siRNA to effectively down-regulate the expression of HSP70 protein during the photothermal therapy, thus realizing the pH-controlled and NIR-triggered release of the chemotherapeutical drug DOX. Moreover, tumors were also imaged accurately by ICG wrapped in ZID-Si nanoparticles. After the evaluation of the in vitro and in vivo photothermal effect as well as the anti-tumor activity, we found that the added Hsp-70 siRNA enhanced the synergistic anti-cancer activity of HPTT and chemotherapy. In summary, this work holds great potential in cancer treatment, and suggests better efficacy of synergistic chemo/HPTT than the single-agent therapy.

Abstract
In order to boost anticancer efficacy of indocyanine green (ICG)-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) by promoting intracellular ICG delivery, the ICG-carrying hybrid polymeric nanoparticles were fabricated in this study by co-assembly of hydrophobic poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) segments, ICG molecules, amphiphilic tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) and pH-responsive methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-benzoic imine-1-octadecanamine (mPEG-b-C18) segments in aqueous solution. The ICG-loaded nanoparticles were characterized to have ICG-containing PLGA core stabilized by hydrophilic PEG-rich surface coating and a well-dispersed spherical shape. Moreover, the ICG-loaded nanoparticles in pH 7.4 aqueous solution sufficiently inhibited ICG self-aggregation and leakage, thereby increasing aqueous photostability of ICG molecules. Notably, when the solution pH was reduced from pH 7.4-5.5, the acid-triggered hydrolysis of benzoic-imine linkers within mPEG-b-C18 remarkably facilitated the detachment of mPEG segments from ICG-loaded nanoparticles, thus accelerating ICG release. The findings of in vitro cellular uptake and cytotoxicity studies further demonstrated that the PEGylated ICG-carrying hybrid nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by MCF-7 cells compared to free ICG and realized intracellular acid-triggered rapid ICG liberation, thus enhancing anticancer effect of ICG-mediated PTT to potently kill cancer cells.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of molecular crystalline materials built from metal ions or clusters bridged by organic linkers. By taking advantage of their synthetic tunability and structural regularity, MOFs can hierarchically integrate nanoparticles and/or biomolecules into a single framework to enable multifunctions. The MOF-protected heterostructures not only enhance the catalytic capacity of nanoparticle components but also retain the biological activity of biomolecules in an intracellular microenvironment. Therefore, the multifunctional MOF heterostructures have great advantages over single components in cancer therapy. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the general principle of the design and functional modulation of nanoscaled MOF heterostructures, and biomedical applications in enhanced therapy within the last five years. The functions of MOF heterostructures with a controlled size can be regulated by designing various functional ligands and in situ growth/postmodification of nanoparticles and/or biomolecules. The advances in the application of multifunctional MOF heterostructures are also explored for enhanced cancer therapies involving photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and theranostics. The remaining challenges and future opportunities in this field, in terms of precisely localized assembly, maximizing composite properties, and processing new techniques, are also presented. The introduction of multiple components into one crystalline MOF provides a promising approach to design all-in-one theranostics in clinical treatments.

Abstract
Malignant tumor has become an urgent threat to global public healthcare. Because of the heterogeneity of tumor, single therapy presents great limitations while synergistic therapy is arousing much attention, which shows desperate need of intelligent carrier for co-delivery. A core‒shell dual metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) system was delicately designed in this study, which not only possessed the unique properties of both materials, but also provided two individual specific functional zones for co-drug delivery. Photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) and chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) were stepwisely encapsulated into the nanopores of MIL-88 core and ZIF-8 shell to construct a synergistic photothermal/photodynamic/chemotherapy nanoplatform. Except for efficient drug delivery, the MIL-88 could be functioned as a nanomotor to convert the excessive hydrogen peroxide at tumor microenvironment into adequate oxygen for photodynamic therapy. The DOX release from MIL-88-ICG@ZIF-8-DOX nanoparticles was triggered at tumor acidic microenvironment and further accelerated by near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. The in vivo antitumor study showed superior synergistic antitumor effect by concentrating the nanoparticles into dissolving microneedles as compared to intravenous and intratumoral injection of nanoparticles, with a significantly higher inhibition rate. It is anticipated that the multi-model synergistic system based on dual-MOFs was promising for further biomedical application.

Abstract
Clinical extensive application of indocyanine green (ICG) is limited by several drawbacks such as poor bioenvironmental stability, aggregate propensity, and rapid elimination from the body, etc. In this study, we construct a novel amphiphilic mPEG-ACA-ICG conjugate by modifying synthetic heptamethine cyanine derivative ICG-COOH with a hydrophobic linker 6-aminocaproic acid (ACA) and amino-terminal poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG-NH2). The as-prepared mPEG-ACA-ICG conjugate has the ability to self-assemble into micellar aggregates in an aqueous solution with a lower CMC value than mPEG-ICG conjugate without ACA linker. More importantly, compared with free ICG and mPEG-ICG conjugate, mPEG-ACA-ICG nanomicelles exhibited better stability and higher photothermal conversion efficiency upon near-infrared light irradiation due to the intramolecular introduction of a hydrophobic ACA segment. In our in vivo experiment, mPEG-ACA-ICG nanomicelles ensured the formidable effect on tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) and the maximum tumor inhibition rate reached 72.6 %. In addition, real-time determination ability for fluorescence image-guided surgery (FIGS) of mPEG-ACA-ICG nanomicelles was also confirmed on tumor xenograft mice model. Taken together, mPEG-ACA-ICG conjugate may hold great promise for non-invasive cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is emerging as a promising vector in encapsulation and delivery of imaging agents or drugs. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the primary energy source in cells and plays a key role in many cellular processes. Although numerous probes have been developed for ATP detection, only a few of them were used to real-time monitor ATP fluctuation in mitochondria during photodynamic therapy (PDT). Here, an ATP-responsive and fluorescent ZIF-8 is synthesized for real-time monitoring mitochondrial ATP fluctuation in living cells during photodynamic therapy. Rhodamine B (RhB) as a fluorescent indicator is encapsulated into ZIF-8 to form multifunctional RhB@ZIF-8 via a one step process. RhB@ZIF-8 can rapidly respond to ATP with ZIF-8 decomposition and fluorescence off-on switch via a competitive coordination interaction and exhibits good sensitivity and selectivity to ATP with a detection limit of 35 μM. Furthermore, RhB@ZIF-8 is successfully utilized for real-time monitoring and imaging mitochondrial ATP fluctuation in living cells during photodynamic therapy with good biocompatibility and high cell permeability. It is found that the ATP levels in mitochondria increased within 1 min of light irradiation and then decreased with further increase of the light irradiation time during PDT using an Ir(iii) complex. This work demonstrates that RhB@ZIF-8 can serve as a promising fluorescent probe to monitor mitochondrial ATP fluctuation with fast response, good sensitivity and endogenous molecule-responsive properties inside living cells.

Abstract
Melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer because it spreads easily to other tissues, thereby decreasing the efficiency of its treatment via chemo-, radio-, and surgical therapies. We suggest the application of an attachable hydrogel for the treatment of melanoma whereby the size and amount of incorporated indocyanine green (ICG) for photothermal therapy (PTT) can be controlled. An attachable hydrogel (poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride); PAD) that incorporates ICG as a near-infrared (NIR) absorber was fabricated using a biocompatible polymer. The temperature of PAD-ICG increases under 808 nm laser irradiation. The hydrogel protects the ICG against decomposition; consequently, PAD-ICG can be reused for PTT. The attachment of PAD-ICG to an area with melanoma in mice, with irradiation using a NIR laser, successfully eliminated melanoma. Thus, the data suggest that PAD-ICG is a smart material that could be used for selective target therapy against melanoma in humans.

Abstract
Chlorin e6 (Ce6) is a second generation photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, free Ce6 still has some defects leading to reduced clinical efficacy, such as easy agglomeration in a physiological environment and poor accumulation in tumor tissue. In order to solve these problems, a hyaluronic acid (HA) modified zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) based Ce6 (ZIF-8@Ce6-HA) therapeutic agent is constructed for PDT by one-pot encapsulation and self-assembly. ZIF-8@Ce6-HA exhibits acceptable encapsulation efficiency, effective cell uptake and good biocompatibility. Moreover, the results of in vitro anticancer experiments demonstrated that the ZIF-8@Ce6-HA group exhibited greater cytotoxicity after irradiation than the free Ce6 group, which caused about 88.4% of HepG2 cells to die since ROS is produced by PDT. Additionally, the data of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry indicated that modification of HA increased the blood circulation time and reduced the systemic toxicity of ZIF-8@Ce6. In summary, this work created an interesting Ce6 therapeutic agent for PDT and provided the data for HA regarding the improvement in biocompatibility and biological half-life of metal organic frameworks.

Abstract
The high storage capacities and excellent biocompatibilities of zinc(ii) metal-organic frameworks (Zn-MOFs) have made them outstanding candidates as drug delivery carriers. Recent studies on the pH-responsive processes based on carrier-drug interactions have proven them to be the most efficient and effective way to control the release profiles of drugs. To satisfy the ever-growing demand in cancer therapy, great efforts are being devoted to the development of methods to precisely control drug release and achieve targeted use of an active substance at the right time and place. In this review article, we discuss the diverse stimuli based on Zn-MOFs carriers that have been achieved upon external activation from single pH-stimulus-responsive or/and multiple pH-stimuli-responsive viewpoints. Also, the perspectives and future challenges in this type of carrier system are discussed.

Abstract
Rapid increase of antimicrobial resistance has become an urgent threat to global public health. In this research, since photothermal therapy is a potential antibacterial strategy, which is less likely to cause resistance, a metal-organic framework-based chemo-photothermal combinational system was constructed. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (ZIF-8), a porous carrier with unique features such as high loading and pH-sensitive degradation, was synthesized, and then encapsulated photothermal agent indocyanine green (ICG). First, ICG with improved stability in ZIF-8 (ZIF-8-ICG) can effectively produce heat in response to NIR laser irradiation for precise, rapid, and efficient photothermal bacterial ablation. Meanwhile, Zn2+ ions released from ZIF-8 can inhibit bacterial growth by increasing the permeability of bacterial cell membrane and further strengthen photothermal therapy efficacy by reducing the heat resistance of bacteria. Study showed that bacteria suffered from significant changes in morphology after treatment with ZIF-8-ICG under laser irradiation. The combinational chemo-hyperthermia therapy of ZIF-8-ICG could thoroughly ablate murine subcutaneous abscess induced by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), exhibiting a nearly 100% bactericidal ratio. Both in vitro and in vivo safety evaluation confirmed that ZIF-8-ICG was low toxic. Overall, our researches demonstrated that ZIF-8-ICG has great potential to be served as an alternative to antibiotics in combating multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens.
