J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 668:88-97. [PMID: 38669999 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.125] [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: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Nanotheranostic platforms, which can respond to tumor microenvironments (TME, such as low pH and hypoxia), are immensely appealing for photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, hypoxia in solid tumors harms the treatment outcome of PDT which depends on oxygen molecules to generate cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2). Herein, we report the design of TME-responsive smart nanotheranostic platform (DOX/ZnO2@Zr-Ce6/Pt/PEG) which can generate endogenously hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxygen (O2) to alleviate hypoxia for improving photodynamic-chemo combination therapy of tumors. DOX/ZnO2@Zr-Ce6/Pt/PEG nanocomposite was prepared by the synthesis of ZnO2 nanoparticles, in-situ assembly of Zr-Ce6 as typical metal-organic framework (MOF) on ZnO2 surface, in-situ reduction of Pt nanozymes, amphiphilic lipids surface coating and then doxorubicin (DOX) loading. DOX/ZnO2@Zr-Ce6/Pt/PEG nanocomposite exhibits average sizes of ∼78 nm and possesses a good loading capacity (48.8 %) for DOX. When DOX/ZnO2@Zr-Ce6/Pt/PEG dispersions are intratumorally injected into mice, the weak acidic TEM induces the decomposition of ZnO2 core to generate endogenously H2O2, then Pt nanozymes catalyze H2O2 to produce O2 for alleviating tumor hypoxia. Upon laser (630 nm) irradiation, the Zr-Ce6 component in DOX/ZnO2@Zr-Ce6/Pt/PEG can produce cytotoxic 1O2, and 1O2 generation rate can be enhanced by 2.94 times due to the cascaded generation of endogenous H2O2/O2. Furthermore, the generated O2 can suppress the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor α, and further enable tumor cells to become more sensitive to chemotherapy, thereby leading to an increased effectiveness of chemotherapy treatment. The photodynamic-chemo combination therapy from DOX/ZnO2@Zr-Ce6/Pt/PEG nanoplatform exhibits remarkable tumor growth inhibition compared to chemotherapy or PDT. Thus, the present study is a good demonstration of a TME-responsive nanoplatform in a multimodal approach for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Immunotherapy using an immune-checkpoint blockade has significantly improved its therapeutic effects. CM-272, which is a novel epigenetic inhibitor of G9a, induces immunogenic cell death (ICD) for recovering the sensitivity to anti-PD-1 antibodies; however, the efficacy of CM-272 is greatly limited by promoting the transcription activity of HIF-1α to form a hypoxic environment. Here, a Fe3+ -based nanoscale metal-organic framework (MIL-53) is used to load CM-272 (ultra-high loading rate of 56.4%) for realizing an MIL-53@CM-272 nanoplatform. After entering bladder cancer cells, Fe3+ not only promotes the decomposition of H2 O2 into O2 for O2 -compensated sonodynamic therapy but reduces the high level of glutathione in the tumor microenvironment (TME) for enhancing reactive oxygen species, including ferroptosis and apoptosis. MIL-53 carriers can be degraded in response to the TME, accelerating the release of CM-272, which helps achieve the maximum effectiveness in an O2 -sufficient TME by attenuating drug resistance. Furthermore, MIL-53@CM-272 enhances dendritic cell maturation and synergistically combines it with an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 antibody during the study of immune-related pathways in the transcriptomes of bladder cancer cells using RNA-seq. This study presents the first instance of amalgamating nanomedicine with CM-272, inducing apoptosis, ferroptosis, and ICD to achieve the "one arrow three eagle" effect.

Abstract
Addressing the challenges of chemodynamic therapies (CDTs) relying on Fenton reactions in malignant tumors is an active research area. Here, we report a method to develop pH-responsive hybrid nanoparticles for enhanced chemodynamic tumor treatment. Reactive CaO2 nanoparticles (core) are isolated by biocompatible ZIF-8 doped with Fe2+ (shell), and then encapsulated by macrophage membranes (symbolized as CaO2@Fe-ZIF-8@macrophage membrane or CFZM), thus endowed with high stability under normal physiological conditions. Our design features active tumor-homing by the macrophage-membrane coating, tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive cargo release, and self-supplied hydrogen peroxide for promotion of the Fenton reaction. We demonstrate the improved delivery/tumor cell uptake of CFZM, the efficient production of toxic ˙OH with self-supplied H2O2 in CFZM, and high-efficacy tumor ablation on BALB/c mice bearing CT26 tumor cells. This offers a translational strategy to develop active tumor-targeting and TME-responsive nanotherapeutics with enhanced CDT against malignant tumors.

Abstract
Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has received a lot of attention for its potential use in cancer treatment. It enables the therapy of a multifocal disease with the least amount of tissue damage. The most widely used prodrug is 5-aminolevulinic acid, which undergoes heme pathway conversion to protoporphyrin IX, which acts as a photosensitizer (PS). Additionally, hematoporphyrin, bacteriochlorin, and phthalocyanine are also studied for their therapeutic potential in cancer. Unfortunately, not every patient who receives PDT experiences a full recovery. Resistance to different anticancer treatments is commonly observed. A few of the resistance mechanisms by which cancer cells escape therapeutics are genetic factors, drug-drug interactions, impaired DNA repair pathways, mutations related to inhibition of apoptosis, epigenetic pathways, etc. Recently, much research has been conducted to develop a new generation of PS based on nanomaterials that could be used to overcome cancer cells' multidrug resistance (MDR). Various metal-based, polymeric, lipidic nanoparticles (NPs), dendrimers, etc, have been utilized in the PDT application against cancer. This article discusses the detailed mechanism by which cancer cells evolve towards MDR as well as recent advances in PDT-based NPs for use against multidrug-resistant cancers.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase-loaded ZIF-90 metal-organic framework nanoparticles conjugated to hemin-G-quadruplexes act as functional bioreactor hybrids operating transient dissipative biocatalytic cascaded transformations consisting of the glucose-driven H2O2-mediated oxidation of Amplex-Red to resorufin or the glucose-driven generation of chemiluminescence by the H2O2-mediated oxidation of luminol. One system involves the fueled activation of a reaction module leading to the temporal formation and depletion of the bioreactor conjugate operating the nickase-guided transient biocatalytic cascades. The second system demonstrates the fueled activation of a reaction module yielding a bioreactor conjugate operating the exonuclease III-dictated transient operation of the two biocatalytic cascades. The temporal operations of the bioreactor circuits are accompanied by kinetic models and computational simulations enabling us to predict the dynamic behavior of the systems subjected to different auxiliary conditions.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) still faces great challenges with suitable photosensitizers, oxygen supply, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, especially in the tumor microenvironment, feathering hypoxia, and high glucose metabolism. Herein, a carbon dots (CDs)-based bifunctional nanosystem (MnZ@Au), acting as photosensitizer and nanozyme with cascading glucose oxidase (GOx)- and catalase (CAT)-like reactivity, was developed for improving hypoxia and regulating glucose metabolism to enhance PDT. The MnZ@Au was constructed using Mn-doped CDs (Mn-CDs) as a core and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) as a shell to form a hybrid (MnZ), followed by anchoring ultrasmall Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) onto the surface of MnZ through the ion exchange and in situ reduction methods. MnZ@Au catalyzed glucose consumption and oxygen generation by cascading GOx- and CAT-like nanozyme reactions, which was further enhanced by its own photothermal properties. In vitro and in vivo studies also confirmed that MnZ@Au greatly improved CDs penetration, promoted ROS accumulation, and enhanced PDT efficacy, leading to efficient tumor growth inhibition in the breast tumor model. Besides, MnZ@Au enabled photoacoustic (PA) imaging to provide a mapping of Mn-CDs distribution and oxygen saturation, showing the real-time catalytic process of MnZ@Au in vivo. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) imaging also validated the decreased glucose uptake in tumors treated by MnZ@Au. Therefore, the integrated design provided a promising strategy to utilize and regulate the tumor microenvironment, promote penetration, enhance PDT, and finally prevent tumor deterioration.

[PMID: 37605182 PMCID: PMC10440939 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-02042-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The gradual deterioration of the supporting periodontal tissues caused by periodontitis, a chronic multifactorial inflammatory disease, is thought to be triggered by the colonization of dysbiotic plaque biofilms in a vulnerable host. One of the most prevalent dental conditions in the world, periodontitis is now the leading factor in adult tooth loss. When periodontitis does develop, it is treated by scraping the mineralized deposits and dental biofilm off the tooth surfaces. Numerous studies have shown that non-surgical treatment significantly improves clinical and microbiological indices in individuals with periodontitis. Although periodontal parameters have significantly improved, certain bacterial reservoirs often persist on root surfaces even after standard periodontal therapy. Periodontitis has been treated with local or systemic antibiotics as well as scaling and root planning. Since there aren't many brand-new antibiotics on the market, several researchers are currently concentrating on creating alternate methods of combating periodontal germs. There is a delay in a study on the subject of nanoparticle (NP) toxicity, which is especially concerned with mechanisms of action, while the area of nanomedicine develops. The most promising of them are metal NPs since they have potent antibacterial action. Metal NPs may be employed as efficient growth inhibitors in a variety of bacteria, making them useful for the treatment of periodontitis. In this way, the new metal NPs contributed significantly to the development of efficient anti-inflammatory and antibacterial platforms for the treatment of periodontitis. The current therapeutic effects of several metallic NPs on periodontitis are summarized in this study. This data might be used to develop NP-based therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of periodontal infections.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a typical feature of most solid tumors and has important effects on tumor cells' proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. This is the key factor that leads to poor efficacy of different kinds of therapy including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, etc. In recent years, the construction of hypoxia-relieving functional nanoplatforms through nanotechnology has become a new strategy to reverse the current situation of tumor microenvironment hypoxia and improve the effectiveness of tumor treatment. Here, the main strategies and recent progress in constructing nanoplatforms are focused on to directly carry oxygen, generate oxygen in situ, inhibit mitochondrial respiration, and enhance blood perfusion to alleviate tumor hypoxia. The advantages and disadvantages of these nanoplatforms are compared. Meanwhile, nanoplatforms based on organic and inorganic substances are also summarized and classified. Through the comprehensive overview, it is hoped that the summary of these nanoplatforms for alleviating hypoxia could provide new enlightenment and prospects for the construction of nanomaterials in this field.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have become a fatal threat because of the abuse of antibiotics in the world. Various gold (Au)-based nanostructures have been extensively explored as antibacterial agents to combat bacterial infections based on their remarkable chemical and physical characteristics. Many Au-based nanostructures have been designed and their antibacterial activities and mechanisms have been further examined and demonstrated. In this review, we collected and summarized current developments of antibacterial agents of Au-based nanostructures, including Au nanoparticles (AuNPs), Au nanoclusters (AuNCs), Au nanorods (AuNRs), Au nanobipyramids (AuNBPs), and Au nanostars (AuNSs) according to their shapes, sizes, and surface modifications. The rational designs and antibacterial mechanisms of these Au-based nanostructures are further discussed. With the developments of Au-based nanostructures as novel antibacterial agents, we also provide perspectives, challenges, and opportunities for future practical clinical applications.

Manganese oxide-modified bismuth oxychloride piezoelectric nanoplatform with multiple enzyme-like activities for cancer sonodynamic therapy. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 640:839-850.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is considered as a new-rising strategy for cancer therapeutics, but the inefficient production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by current sonosensitizers seriously hinders its further applications. Herein, a piezoelectric nanoplatform is fabricated for enhancing SDT against cancer, in which manganese oxide (MnOx) with multiple enzyme-like activities is loaded on the surface of piezoelectric bismuth oxychloride nanosheets (BiOCl NSs) to form a heterojunction. When exposed to ultrasound (US) irradiation, piezotronic effect can remarkably promote the separation and transport of US-induced free charges, and further enhance ROS generation in SDT. Meanwhile, the nanoplatform shows multiple enzyme-like activities from MnOx, which can not only downregulate the intracellular glutathione (GSH) level, but also disintegrate endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate oxygen (O2) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH). As a result, the anticancer nanoplatform substantially boosts ROS generation and reverses tumor hypoxia. Ultimately, it reveals remarkable biocompatibility and tumor suppression in a murine model of 4 T1 breast cancer under US irradiation. This work provides a feasible pathway for improving SDT using piezoelectric platforms.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most dangerous health problems in the millennium and it is the third foremost human cause of death in the universe. Traditional cancer treatments face several disadvantages and cannot often afford adequate outcomes. It has been exhibited that the outcome of several therapies can be improved when associated with nanostructures. In addition, a modern tendency is being developed in cancer therapy to convert single-modal into multi-modal therapies with the help of existing various nanostructures. Among them, gold is the most successful nanostructure for biomedical applications due to its flexibility in preparation, stabilization, surface modifications, less cytotoxicity, and ease of bio-detection. In the past few decades, gold-based nanomaterials rule cancer treatment applications, currently, gold nanostructures were the leading nanomaterials for synergetic cancer therapies. In this review article, the synthesis, stabilization, and optical properties of gold nanostructures have been discussed. Then, the surface modifications and targeting mechanisms of gold nanomaterials will be described. Recent signs of progress in the application of gold nanomaterials for synergetic cancer therapies such as photodynamic and photo-thermal therapies in combination with other common interventions such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and will be reviewed. Also, a summary of the pharmacokinetics of gold nanostructures will be delivered. Finally, the challenges and outlooks of the gold nanostructures in the clinics for applications in cancer treatments are debated.

Abstract
Although face masks as personal protective equipment (PPE) are recommended to control respiratory diseases with the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, improper handling and disinfection increase the risk of cross-contamination and compromise the effectiveness of PPE. Here, we prepared a self-cleaning mask based on a highly efficient aggregation-induced emission photosensitizer (TTCP-PF6) that can destroy pathogens by generating Type I and Type II reactive oxygen species (ROS). The respiratory pathogens, including influenza A virus H1N1 strain and Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) can be inactivated within 10 min of ultra-low power (20 W/m2) white light or simulated sunlight irradiation. This TTCP-PF6-based self-cleaning strategy can also be used against other airborne pathogens, providing a strategy for dealing with different microbes.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs), also called tumor-initiating cells, are a subpopulation of cancer cells believed to be the leading cause of cancer initiation, growth, metastasis, and recurrence. Presently there are no effective treatments targeted at eliminating CSCs. Hence, an urgent need to develop measures to target CSCs to eliminate potential recurrence and metastasis associated with CSCs. Cancer stem cells have inherent and unique features that differ from other cancer cells, which they leverage to resist conventional therapies. Targeting such features with photodynamic therapy (PDT) could be a promising treatment for drug-resistant cancer stem cells. Photodynamic therapy is a light-mediated non-invasive treatment modality. However, PDT alone is unable to eliminate cancer stem cells effectively, hence the need for a targeted approach. Gold nanoparticle bioconjugates with PDT could be a potential approach for targeted photodynamic therapy of cancer and CSCs. This approach has the potential for enhanced drug delivery, selective and specific attachment to target tumor cells/CSCs, as well as the ability to efficiently generate ROS. This review examines the impact of a smart gold nanoparticle bioconjugate coupled with a photosensitizer (PS) in promoting targeted PDT of cancer and CSC.

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
With the increasing understanding of various biological functions mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the immune system, a number of studies have been designed to develop ROS-generating/eliminating strategies to selectively modulate immunogenicity for disease treatment. These strategies potentially exploit ROS-modulating inorganic biomaterials to harness host immunity to maximize the therapeutic potency by eliciting a favorable immune response. Inorganic biomaterial-guided in vivo ROS scavenging can exhibit several effects to: i) reduce the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors, ii) induce the phenotypic transition of macrophages from inflammatory M1 to immunosuppressive M2 phase, iii) minimize the recruitment and infiltration of immune cells. and/or iv) suppress the activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway. Inversely, ROS-generating inorganic biomaterials have been found to be capable of: i) inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), ii) reprograming tumor-associated macrophages from M2 to M1 phenotypes, iii) activating inflammasomes to stimulate tumor immunogenicity, and/or iv) recruiting phagocytes for antimicrobial therapy. This review provides a systematic and up-to-date overview on the progress related to ROS-nanotechnology mediated immunomodulation. We highlight how the ROS-generating/eliminating inorganic biomaterials can converge with immunomodulation and ultimately elicit an effective immune response against inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and/or cancers. We expect that contents presented in this review will be beneficial for the future advancements of ROS-based nanotechnology and its potential applications in this evolving field.

Abstract
The ability of some nanoparticles to mimic the activity of certain enzymes paves the way for several attractive biomedical applications which bolster the already impressive arsenal of nanomaterials to combat deadly diseases. A key feature of such 'nanozymes' is the duplication of activities of enzymes or classes of enzymes, such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, oxidase, and peroxidase which are known to modulate the oxidative balance of treated cells for facilitating a particular biological process such as cellular apoptosis. Several nanoparticles that include those of metals, metal oxides/sulfides, metal-organic frameworks, carbon-based materials, etc., have shown the ability to behave as one or more of such enzymes. As compared to natural enzymes, these artificial nanozymes are safer, less expensive, and more stable. Moreover, their catalytic activity can be tuned by changing their size, shape, surface properties, etc. In addition, they can also be engineered to demonstrate additional features, such as photoactivated hyperthermia, or be loaded with active agents for multimodal action. Several researchers have explored the nanozyme-mediated oxidative modulation for therapeutic purposes, often in combination with other diagnostic and/or therapeutic modalities, using a single probe. It has been observed that such synergistic action can effectively by-pass the various defense mechanisms adapted by rogue cells such as hypoxia, evasion of immuno-recognition, drug-rejection, etc. The emerging prospects of using several such nanoparticle platforms for the treatment of bacterial infections/diseases and cancer, along with various related challenges and opportunities, are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Due to the limitations resulting from hypoxia and the self-aggregation of photosensitizers, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has not been applied clinically to treat most types of solid tumors. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a common metal-organic framework that has ultra-high porosity, an adjustable structure, good biocompatibility, and pH-induced biodegradability. In this review, we summarize the applications of ZIF-8 and its derivatives in PDT. This review is divided into two parts. In the first part, we summarize progress in the application of ZIF-8 to enhance PDT and realize theranostics. We discuss the use of ZIF-8 to avoid the self-aggregation of photosensitizers, alleviate hypoxia, increase the PDT penetration depth, and combine PDT with multi-modal imaging. In the second part, we summarize how ZIF-8 can achieve synergistic PDT with other anti-tumor therapies, including chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, chemodynamic therapy, starvation therapy, protein therapy, gene therapy, and immunotherapy. Finally, we highlight the challenges that must be overcome for ZIF-8 to be widely applied in PDT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review of ZIF-8-based nanoplatforms for PDT.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are important semiconductor materials with interesting photo-responsive properties. During the past, ZnO-based NPs have received considerable attention for photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to their biocompatibility and excellent potential of generating tumor-killing reactive oxygen species (ROS) through gentle photodynamic activation. This article provides a comprehensive review of the recent developments and improvements in optical properties of ZnO NPs as photosensitizers for PDT. The optical properties of ZnO-based photosensitizers are significantly dependent on their charge separation, absorption potential, band gap engineering, and surface area, which can be adjusted/tuned by doping, compositing, and morphology control. Here, we first summarize the recent progress in the charge separation capability, absorption potential, band gap engineering, and surface area of nanosized ZnO-based photosensitizers. Then, morphology control that is closely related to their synthesis method is discussed. Following on, the state-of-art for the ZnO-based NPs in the treatment of hypoxic tumors is comprehensively reviewed. Finally, we provide some outlooks on common targeted therapy methods for more effective tumor killing, including the attachment of small molecules, antibodies, ligands molecules, and receptors to NPs which further improve their selective distribution and targeting, hence improving the therapeutic effectiveness. The current review may provide useful guidance for the researchers who are interested in this promising dynamic cancer treatment technology.

J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:104. [PMID: 35246149 PMCID: PMC8896283 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01294-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxia is an important factor that contributes to chemoresistance and metastasis in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), and alleviating hypoxia microenvironment can enhance the anti-tumor efficacy and also inhibit tumor invasion. METHODS A near-infrared (NIR) responsive on-demand oxygen releasing nanoplatform (O2-PPSiI) was successfully synthesized by a two-stage self-assembly process to overcome the hypoxia-induced tumor chemoresistance and metastasis. We embedded drug-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) cores into an ultrathin silica shell attached with paramagnetic Gd-DTPA to develop a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-guided NIR-responsive on-demand drug releasing nanosystem, where indocyanine green was used as a photothermal converter to trigger the oxygen and drug release under NIR irradiation. RESULTS The near-infrared responsive on-demand oxygen releasing nanoplatform O2-PPSiI was chemically synthesized in this study by a two-stage self-assembly process, which could deliver oxygen and release it under NIR irradiation to relieve hypoxia, improving the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy and suppressed tumor metastasis. This smart design achieves the following advantages: (i) the O2 in this nanosystem can be precisely released by an NIR-responsive silica shell rupture; (ii) the dynamic biodistribution process of O2-PPSiI was monitored in real-time and quantitatively analyzed via sensitive MR imaging of the tumor; (iii) O2-PPSiI could alleviate tumor hypoxia by releasing O2 within the tumor upon NIR laser excitation; (iv) The migration and invasion abilities of the TNBC tumor were weakened by inhibiting the process of EMT as a result of the synergistic therapy of NIR-triggered O2-PPSiI. CONCLUSIONS Our work proposes a smart tactic guided by MRI and presents a valid approach for the reasonable design of NIR-responsive on-demand drug-releasing nanomedicine systems for precise theranostics in TNBC.

Abstract
Despite the advantages of low cost, high stability, and activities, a majority of nanozymes rely on strict synthesis conditions and precise size/structure control, hindering the stable, bulk, and high-yield production that is necessary for general use. To facilitate the transition of nanozymes from benchtop to real-world applications, we herein present a one-step approach, which only needs mixing of two broad commercialized reagents at room temperature, to harvest gold nanoparticles-bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanocomposite (BSA-Au) with distinct oxidase-like activity and good stability in a broad range of harsh conditions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate the oxidase-like activity of BSA-Au stemming from thermodynamically and kinetically favored facets for O2 activation. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation of BSA-Au contributes to the catalytic activities and further enables water sterilization and antibacterial applications against superbugs. This one-step strategy promises great potential in bulk production of nanozyme for broad application beyond laboratory use.

Abstract
Recently, noble metal nanomaterials have been extensively studied in the fields of biosensing, environmental catalysis, and cancer diagnosis and treatment, due to their excellent electrical conductivity, high surface area, and individual physical and optical properties. Early research on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect was focused on the cognition of the SERS phenomenon and enhancing its sensitivity for single-molecule detection. With the development of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, the advances and applications based on SERS substrates have been accelerated. Among them, noble metal nanomaterials are mainly used as SERS-active substrates to enhance SERS signals owing to their compelling surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties. This review provides recent advances, perspectives, and challenges in SERS assays based on engineered noble metal nanomaterials for early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Albeit metal-organic framework (MOF) composites have been extensively explored, reducing the size and dimensions of various contents within the composition, to the nanoscale regime, has recently presented unique opportunities for enhanced properties with the formation of MOF-based nanocomposites. Many distinctive strategies have been used to fabricate these nanocomposites such as through the introduction of nanoparticles (NPs) into a MOF precursor solution or vice versa to achieve a core-shell or heterostructure configuration. As such, MOF-based nanocomposites offer seemingly limitless possibilities and promising solutions for the vast range of applications across biomedical disciplines especially for improving in vivo implementation. In this review, we focus on the recent development of MOF-based nanocomposites, outline their classification according to the type of integrations (NPs, coating materials, and different MOF-derived nanocomposites), and direct special attention towards the various approaches and strategies employed to construct these nanocomposites for their prospective utilization in biomedical applications including biomimetic enzymes and photo, chemo, sonodynamic, starvation and hyperthermia therapies. Lastly, our work aims to highlight the exciting potential as well as the challenges of MOF-based nanocomposites to help guide future research as well as to contribute to the progress of MOF-based nanotechnology in biomedicine.

Abstract
Therapeutic nanosystems triggered by a specific tumor microenvironment (TME) offer excellent safety and selectivity in the treatment of cancer by in situ conversion of a less toxic substance into effective anticarcinogens. However, the inherent antioxidant systems, hypoxic environment, and insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor cells severely limit their efficacy. Herein, a new strategy has been developed by loading the chemotherapy prodrug disulfiram (DSF) and coating glucose oxidase (GOD) on the surface of Cu/ZIF-8 nanospheres and finally encapsulating manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoshells to achieve efficient DSF-based cancer chemotherapy and dual-enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT). In an acidic TME, the nanocatalyst can biodegrade rapidly and accelerate the release of internal active substances. The outer layer of MnO2 depletes glutathione (GSH) to destroy the reactive oxygen defensive mechanisms and achieves continuous oxygen generation, thus enhancing the catalytic efficiency of GOD to burst H2O2. Benefiting from the chelation reaction between the released Cu2+ and DSF, a large amount of cytotoxic CuET products is generated, and the Cu+ are concurrently released, thereby achieving efficient chemotherapy and satisfactory CDT efficacy. Furthermore, the release of Mn2+ can initiate magnetic resonance imaging signals for the tracking of the nanocatalyst.

Abstract
Phototherapy, with minimally invasive and cosmetic effect, has received considerable attention and been widely studied in cancer treatment, especially in biomaterials field. However, most nanomaterials applied for the delivery of phototherapy agents are usually recognized by the immune system or cleared by liver and kidney, thus hindering their clinical applications. To overcome these limitations, bionic technology stands out by virtue of its low antigenicity and targeting properties, including membrane bionics and bionic enzymes. In this review, we will summarize the up-to-date progress in the development of biomimetic camouflage-based nanomaterials for phototherapy, from synthesis to application, and their future in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Some infectious or malignant diseases such as cancers are seriously threatening the health of human beings all over the world. The commonly used antibiotic therapy cannot effectively treat these diseases within a short time, and also bring about adverse effects such as drug resistance and immune system damage during long-term systemic treatment. Phototherapy is an emerging antibiotic-free strategy to treat these diseases. Upon light irradiation, phototherapeutic agents can generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) or induce a temperature increase, which leads to the death of targeted cells. These two kinds of killing strategies are referred to as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), respectively. So far, many photo-responsive agents have been developed. Among them, the metal-organic framework (MOF) is becoming one of the most promising photo-responsive materials because its structure and chemical compositions can be easily modulated to achieve specific functions. MOFs can have intrinsic photodynamic or photothermal ability under the rational design of MOF construction, or serve as the carrier of therapeutic agents, owing to its tunable porosity. MOFs also provide feasibility for various combined therapies and targeting methods, which improves the efficiency of phototherapy. In this review, we firstly investigated the principles of phototherapy, and comprehensively summarized recent advances of MOF in PDT, PTT and synergistic therapy, from construction to modification. We expect that our demonstration will shed light on the future development of this field, and bring it one step closer to clinical trials.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are gaseous signaling molecules (gasotransmitters) that regulate both physiological and pathological processes and offer therapeutic potential for the treatment of many diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, renal disease, bacterial and viral infections. However, the inherent labile nature of therapeutic gases results in difficulties in direct gases administration and their controlled delivery at clinically relevant ranges. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with highly porous, stable, and easy-to-tailor properties have shown promising therapeutic gas delivery potential. Herein, we highlight the recent advances of MOF-based platforms for therapeutic gas delivery, either by endogenous (i.e., direct transfer of gases to targets) or exogenous (i.e., stimulating triggered release of gases) means. Reports that involve in vitro and/or in vivo studies are highlighted due to their high potential for clinical translation. Current challenges for clinical requirements and possible future innovative designs to meet variable healthcare needs are discussed.

Abstract
The kinetics of hydrolysis of dimethyl nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), a simulant of the nerve agent Soman, was studied and revealed transition metal salts as catalysts. The relative rates of DMNP hydrolysis by zirconium and hafnium chlorides are in accordance with their Lewis acidity. In situ conversion of zirconium chloride to zirconium oxy-hydroxide was identified as the key step. We propose a precursor-MOF activity relationship.

Abstract
Hypoxia, a common feature of most solid tumors, plays an important role in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and invasion, leading to drug, radiation, and photodynamic therapy resistance, and resulting in a sharp reduction in the disease-free survival rate of tumor patients. The lack of sufficient blood supply to the interior regions of tumors hinders the delivery of traditional drugs and contrast agents, interfering with their accumulation in the hypoxic region, and preventing efficient theranostics. Thus, there is a need for the fabrication of novel tumor theranostic agents that overcome these obstacles. Reports, in recent years, of hypoxia-responsive nanomaterials may provide with such means. In this review, a comprehensive description of the physicochemical and biological characteristics of hypoxic tumor tissues is provided, the principles of designing the hypoxia-responsive tumor theranostic agents are discussed, and the recent research into hypoxia-triggered nanomaterials is examined. Additionally, other hypoxia-associated responsive strategies, the current limitations, and future prospects for hypoxia-responsive nanotheranostic agents in tumor treatment are discussed.

Abstract
Reasonable management of the one-for-all nanoplatform can facilitate improved cancer therapy. Here, the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on iron(iii) carboxylate material (MIL-101-NH2) were in situ decorated on stabilized polydopamine nanoparticles (PDANPs), which subsequently loaded glucose oxidase (GOx) via hyaluronic acid (HA) coating to structure the one-for-all intelligent core-shell nanoparticles (HG-MIL@PDANPs). Because of the inner PDANPs, the HG-MIL@PDANPs could realize near-infrared (NIR)-controllable site-specific photothermal therapy (PTT). Additionally, the core-shell nanoparticles exhibited a pH-triggered and NIR-reinforced release of Fe3+ and GOx owing to the controllable degradation of the outer shell. Hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) were produced for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) employing the Fe2+-driven Fenton reaction, which could be greatly promoted by Fe3+-involved glutathione (GSH) depletion and GOx-catalyzed acidity recovery and H2O2 self-sufficiency. Moreover, the HA ligand could enhance the tumor accumulation of the HG-MIL@PDANPs through the long blood circulation time and CD44-targeted cell recognition. The ingenious integration of PTT and CDT in one fully equipped system presented excellent synergistic antitumor efficiency in vitro and in vivo with favorable biosafety. The one-for-all intelligent core-shell nanoparticles with CD44 targeting provide a new avenue for engineering on-demand tumor-specific therapy.

Abstract
Various therapeutic techniques have been studied for treating cancer precisely and effectively, such as targeted drug delivery, phototherapy, tumor-specific catalytic therapy, and synergistic therapy, which, however, evoke numerous challenges due to the inherent limitations of these therapeutic modalities and intricate biological circumstances as well. With the remarkable advances of nanotechnology, nanoplatform-based cascade engineering, as an efficient and booming strategy, has been tactfully introduced to optimize these cancer therapies. Based on the designed nanoplatforms, pre-supposed cascade processes could be triggered under specific conditions to generate/deliver more therapeutic species or produce stronger tumoricidal effects inside tumors, aiming to achieve cancer therapy with increased anti-tumor efficacy and diminished side effects. In this review, the recent advances in nanoplatform-based cascade engineering for cancer therapy are summarized and discussed, with an emphasis on the design of smart nanoplatforms with unique structures, compositions and properties, and the implementation of specific cascade processes by means of endogenous tumor microenvironment (TME) resources and/or exogenous energy inputs. This fascinating strategy presents unprecedented potential in the enhancement of cancer therapies, and offers better controllability, specificity and effectiveness of therapeutic functions compared to the corresponding single components/functions. In the end, challenges and prospects of such a burgeoning strategy in the field of cancer therapy will be discussed, hopefully to facilitate its further development to meet the personalized treatment demands.

Abstract
In recent years, gold nanoparticles have demonstrated excellent enzyme-mimicking activities which resemble those of peroxidase, oxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase or reductase. This, merged with their ease of synthesis, tunability, biocompatibility and low cost, makes them excellent candidates when compared with biological enzymes for applications in biomedicine or biochemical analyses. Herein, over 200 research papers have been systematically reviewed to present the recent progress on the fundamentals of gold nanozymes and their potential applications. The review reveals that the morphology and surface chemistry of the nanoparticles play an important role in their catalytic properties, as well as external parameters such as pH or temperature. Yet, real applications often require specific biorecognition elements to be immobilized onto the nanozymes, leading to unexpected positive or negative effects on their activity. Thus, rational design of efficient nanozymes remains a challenge of paramount importance. Different implementation paths have already been explored, including the application of peroxidase-like nanozymes for the development of clinical diagnostics or the regulation of oxidative stress within cells via their catalase and superoxide dismutase activities. The review also indicates that it is essential to understand how external parameters may boost or inhibit each of these activities, as more than one of them could coexist. Likewise, further toxicity studies are required to ensure the applicability of gold nanozymes in vivo. Current challenges and future prospects of gold nanozymes are discussed in this review, whose significance can be anticipated in a diverse range of fields beyond biomedicine, such as food safety, environmental analyses or the chemical industry.

Abstract
Anti-hypoxia cancer nanomedicine (AHCN) holds exciting potential in improving oxygen-dependent therapeutic efficiencies of malignant tumors. However, most studies regarding AHCN focus on optimizing structure and function of nanomaterials with presupposed successful entry into tumor cells. From such a traditional perspective, the main barrier that AHCN needs to overcome is mainly the tumor cell membrane. However, such an oversimplified perspective would neglect that real tumors have many biological, physiological, physical, and chemical defenses preventing the current state-of-the-art AHCNs from even reaching the targeted tumor cells. Fortunately, in recent years, some studies are beginning to intentionally focus on overcoming physiological barriers to alleviate hypoxia. In this Review, the limitations behind the traditional AHCN delivery mindset are addressed and the key barriers that need to be surmounted before delivery to cancer cells and some good ways to improve cell membrane attachment, internalization, and intracellular retention are summarized. It is aimed to contribute to Review literature on this emerging topic through refreshing perspectives based on this work and what is also learnt from others. This Review would therefore assist AHCNs researchers to have a quick overview of the essential information and glean thought-provoking ideas to advance this sub-field in cancer nanomedicine.

Abstract
Amphiphilic derivatives of phenylalanine (ADFs) have strong self-assembling propensities and yield low molecular weight hydrogels on multiple occassions. The interaction of ADFs with metal ions can result in the morphological changes in the self-assemblies. Herein, we report the interesting consequences of the interaction between four N-protected ADFs with Au(iii) ions. In the case of ADF 1, the original nanofibrillar morphology of the self-assemblies spontaneously transformed into uniform nanoglobules of ∼80 nm in diameter upon addition of Au(iii) ions. A subsequent reduction of the Au(iii) ions to Au(0) nanoparticles (AuNPs) and the surface decoration of the nanoglobules with AuNPs were observed in the course of the next six to eight hours. Simultaneously, multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radicals (˙OH), singlet oxygen and superoxide ions were also found to be present in the reaction medium. These ROS originate from water used as the reaction medium. The ROS production and the reduction of Au(iii) were inhibited upon deaeration of the reaction medium and the use of heavy water (D2O) or organic solvents as the reaction medium, while an increase in the pH of the aqueous medium intensified both these processes. We exploited the temporal ROS generation using the mixture of 1 and Au(iii) ions towards anticancer therapy by enhancing the intracellular ROS levels. It is expected that this effort can be expanded into a viable anticancer therapy in the near future by modulating the amount and the rate of ROS-generation through judicious choice of the peptidic ligands and metal ions.

Tumorigenesis and Progression As A Consequence of Hypoxic TME:A Prospective View upon Breast Cancer Therapeutic Targets. Exp Cell Res 2020; 395:112192. [PMID: 32738345 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2020.112192] [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: 10/22/2019] [Revised: 06/28/2020] [Accepted: 07/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Intratumoral hypoxia has a significant impact on the development and progression of breast cancer (BC). Rather than exerting limited regional impact, hypoxia create an aggressive macroenvironment for BC. Hypoxia-inducible factors-1(HIF-1) is extensively induced under hypoxia condition of BC, activating the transcription of multiple oncogenes. Thereinto, CD73 is the one which could be secreted into the microenvironment and is in favor of the growth, metastasis, resistance to therapies, as well as the stemness maintenance of BC. In this review, we address the significance of hypoxia/HIF-1/CD73 axis for BC, and provide a novel perspective into BC therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive nanocarrier systems that keep the photosensitizer (PS) inactive during systemic circulation and then efficiently release or activate the PS in response to unique TME conditions have attracted much attention. Herein, we report novel TME-responsive, self-quenched polysaccharide nanoparticles (NPs) with a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive cascade. The PS, pheophorbide A (PhA), was conjugated to a water-soluble glycol chitosan (GC) through an ROS-sensitive thioketal (TK) linker. The amphiphilic GC-TK-PhA conjugates could arrange themselves into NPs and remain photoinactive due to their self-quenching effects. Upon reaching the ROS-rich hypoxic core of the tumor tissue, the NPs release the PS in a photoactive form by efficient, ROS-sensitive TK bond cleavage, thus generating potent phototoxic effects. Following near-infrared irradiation, the increase in locoregional ROS levels further accelerates the release and activation of PS. These cascade reactions caused a significant reduction in the tumor volume, demonstrating good antitumor potential.

Adv Healthc Mater 2020; 9:e2000248. [PMID: 32383250 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202000248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 77] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2020] [Revised: 03/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
The progressive development of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), as a subfamily of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and their unique features, including tunable pore size, large surface area, high thermal stability, and biodegradability/biocompatibility, have made them attractive in the field of biomedicine, especially for drug delivery and biomineralization applications. The high porosity of ZIFs gives them the opportunity for encapsulating a high amount of therapeutic drugs, proteins, imaging cargos, or a combination of them to construct advanced multifunctional drug delivery systems (DDSs) with combined therapeutic and imaging capabilities. This review summarizes recent strategies on the design and fabrication of ZIF-based nansystems and their exploration in the biomedical field. First, recent developments for the adjustment of particle size, functionality, and morphology of ZIFs are discussed, which are important for achieving optimized therapeutic/theranostic nanosystems. Second, recent trends on the application of ZIF nanocarriers for the loading of diverse cargos, including anticancer medicines, antibiotic drugs, enzymes, proteins, photosensitizers, as well as imaging and photothermal agents, are investigated in order to understand how multifunctional DDSs can be designed based on the ZIF nanoparticles to treat different diseases, such as cancer and infection. Finally, prospects on the future research direction and applications of ZIF-based nanomedicines are discussed.
