Abstract
Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (UiO-66) have gained considerable attention owing to their versatile application. In the present research, UiO-66 was synthesized via a defect engineering approach, and its toxicity profile was explored. The synthesized nanomaterial was extensively characterized via spectroscopic methods such as FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, which confirmed the formation of the framework. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to determine the crystallinity, shape and size of the nanoformulations. Thermal gravimetric analysis, 1H NMR spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis were used to identify the differences between pristine and defective UiO-66. Furthermore, the synthesized MOF was exposed to various pH conditions, serum protein and DMEM. Drug loading and release studies were evaluated using 5-fluorouracil as a model anticancer drug. The synthesized MOFs were modified with hyaluronic acid via mussel-inspired polymerization to increase their uptake and stability. More importantly, the toxicity of the nanoformulation was investigated via various toxicity studies, such as hemolysis assays and cell viability assays, and was further supported by in vivo acute and subacute toxicity data obtained from Wistar rats. Radiolabelling and bio-distribution studies were also performed using 177Lu to explore the bio-distribution profile of UiO-66.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:132881. [PMID: 38838900 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132881] [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: 12/24/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
As one of the most widespread musculoskeletal diseases worldwide, intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) remains an intractable clinical problem. Currently, oxidative stress has been widely considered as a significant risk factor in the IVDD pathological changes, and targeting oxidative stress injury to improve the harsh microenvironment may provide a novel and promising strategy for disc repair. It is evident that spermidine (SPD) has the ability to attenuate oxidative stress across several disease models. However, limited research exists regarding its impact on oxidative stress within the intervertebral disc. Moreover, enhancing the local utilization rate of SPD holds great significance in IVDD management. This study aimed to develop an intelligent biodegradable mesoporous polydopamine (PDA) nanoplatform for sustained release of SPD. The obtained PDA nanoparticles with spherical morphology and mesoporous structure released loaded-therapeutic molecules under low pH and H2O2. Combined treatment with SPD loaded into PDA nanoparticles (SPD/PDA) resulted in better therapeutic potential than those with SPD alone on oxidative stress injury. Furthermore, both SPD and SPD/PDA could induce anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage polarization. Upon injection into degenerative IVDs, the SPD/PDA group achieved a good repair efficacy with a long-term therapeutic effect. These findings indicated that the synergized use of SPD with responsive drug delivery nanocarriers may steadily scavenge reactive oxygen species and provide an effective approach toward the treatment of IVDD.

Abstract
Oral colonic nano-drug delivery system has received more and more attention in the treatment of colon cancer due to local precision treatment and reduction of drug system distribution. However, the complex and harsh gastrointestinal environment and the retention of nanoparticles in the colon limit its development. To this end, we designed Eudragit S100 (ES) coated nanoparticles (ES@PND-PEG-TPP/DOX). Polydopamine coated nanodiamond (PND) was modified with amino-functionalized polyethylene glycol (NH2-PEG-NH2) and triphenylphosphine (TPP) successively. Due to the high specific surface area of PND, it can efficiently load the model drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). In addition, PND also has high photothermal conversion efficiency, generating heat to kill cancer cells under near infrared (NIR) laser, realizing the combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (CT-PTT). TPP modification enhanced nanoparticle uptake by colon cancer cells and prolonged preparations retention time at the colon. ES shell protected the drug from being destroyed and prevented the nanoparticles from sticking to the small intestine. Ex vitro fluorescence imaging showed that TPP modification can enhance the residence time of nanoparticles in the colon. In vivo pharmacodynamics demonstrated that CT-PTT group has the greatest inhibitory effect on tumor growth, which means that the nanocarrier has potential clinical value in the in-situ treatment of colon cancer.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal cancers are one among the most frequently reported cancers where colorectal and gastric cancers ranks third leading cause of cancer related death worldwide. Phloroglucinol, a well-known therapeutic agent for cancer, where its usage has been limited due to its poor water solubility and bioavailability. Hence, our study aims to synthesize and characterize Hyaluronan grafted phloroglucinol loaded Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-PG-HA). Our nano-formulation hasn't shown any teratogenic effect on Zebrafish embryos, no hemolysis and toxic effect with normal fibroblast cells with a maximum concentration of 300 μg/mL. The cumulative drug release profile of MSN-PG-HA showed a maximum drug release of 96.9 % with 5 mM GSH under redox responsive drug release, which is crucial for targeting cancer cells. In addition, the MSN-PG-HA nanoparticles showed significant a cytotoxic effect against HCT-116, AGS and SW-620 with IC50 values of 86.5 μg/mL, 80.65 μg/mL and 109.255 μg/mL respectively. Also, the cellular uptake assay has shown an increased uptake of FITC-labeled-MSN-PG-HA by HA-receptor mediated endocytosis than FITC-labeled-MSN-PG without HA modification in CD44+ gastrointestinal cancer cell lines. The ability of MSN-PG-HA to target CD44+ cells was further exploited for its application in cancer stem cell research utilizing in silico analysis with various stem cell pathway related targets, in which PG showed higher binding affinity with Gli 1 and the simulation studies proving its effectiveness in disrupting the protein structure. Thus, the findings of our study with nano-formulation are safe and non-toxic to recommend for targeted drug delivery against gastrointestinal cancers as well as its affinity towards cancer stem cell pathway related proteins proving to be a significant formulation for cancer stem cell research.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) systems typically do not possess intrinsic tumor-targeting capability, resulting in indiscriminate thermal damage to both cancer and normal cells. Herein, a low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-based nanosystem (denoted as MTTQ@LDL) is reported for targeted photothermal killing of cancer cells. Such a nanosystem is fabricated by reconstituting the lipophilic core of LDL with an organic photothermal agent MTTQ. The reconstitution process improves the supramolecular photothermal effects of MTTQ assemblies, which contributes to the significantly enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency (41.3% vs. 16.2%). MTTQ@LDL can actively target LDL receptor-overexpressed cancer cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis, enabling the selective killing of cancer cells over normal cells (98% vs. 7%) post-NIR irradiation. Reconstituted LDL can serve as a promising platform for targeted delivery of functional materials, holding great promise in tumor eradication in vivo.

Abstract
Poor selectivity, low bioavailability and serious systemic side-effects have limited the application of traditional chemotherapy method for treatment of prostate cancer. Stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems for chemotherapy are mainly based on the unique characteristics of tumor microenvironment. In this study, the GSH-sensitive poly-TTG-SS@DTX NPs (DTX-loaded poly-Tetraethylene glycol nanoparticles) were designed and synthesized, which were characterized with nanosized diameter (92.8 ± 2.5 nm) and negatively charged surface charge (-24.7 ± 5.56 mV). Experiments in vitro showed that poly-TTG-SS@DTX NPs had good compatibility to healthy cells and strong anti-tumor effect because of rapid and sustained drug release of DTX from poly-TTG-SS@DTX NPs under the tumor-microenvironment condition. The cellular activity remained greater than 90% when the concentration of poly-TTG-SS NPs reached as high as 100 µg/mL treated on healthy cells. The killing effect of DTX loading NPs group on C4-2 cells was stronger than that of free anti-tumor drug and free DTX combined with the blank nano-carrier (25.21% vs 19.93% vs 20.96%). In conclusion, poly-TTG-SS@DTX NPs may provide a new therapeutic strategy for the chemotherapy of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Background Much attention has been paid to sustained drug release and anti-infection in wound management. Hydrogels, which are biocompatible materials, are promising tools for controlled drug release and infective protection during wound healing. However, hydrogels also demonstrate limitations in the highly efficient treatment of wounds because of the diffusion rate. In this work, we explored pH-sensitive hydrogels that enable ultra-long-acting drug release and sustained antibacterial properties. Methods We constructed a hybrid gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) system with sustainable antibacterial properties combining hyaluronic acid (HA)-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN), which loaded host-guest complexes of chlorhexidine (CHX) with β-cyclodextrins (β-CD) (CHX⊂CD-MSN@HA@GelMA). The release mechanism of CHX was explored using UV-vis spectra after intermittent diffusion of CHX. The hybrid hydrogels were characterized, and the drug content in terms of the release profile, bacterial inhibition, and in vivo experiments were investigated. Results Except for dual protection from both hydrogels, MSN in the HA improved the drug loading efficiency to promote the local drug concentration. It showed that complicated CHX-loaded MSN releases CHX more gradually and over a longer duration than CHX-loaded MSNs. This demonstrated a 12-day CHX release time and antibacterial activity, primarily attributable to the capacity of β-CD to form an inclusion complex with CHX. Meanwhile, in vivo experiments revealed that the hydrogels safely promote skin wound healing and enhance therapeutic efficacy. Conclusion We constructed pH-sensitive CHX⊂CD-MSN@HA@GelMA hydrogels that enable ultra-long-acting drug release and sustained antibacterial properties. The combination of β-CD and MSN would be better suited to release a reduced rate of active molecules over time (slow delivery), making them great candidates for wound dressing anti-infection materials.

Abstract
Phototherapies or light mediated therapies, including mutually photothermal and photodynamic therapy that encompass irradiation of the target organs with light, have been widely employed as minimally invasive approach associated with negligible drug resistance for eradicating multiple tumors with minimal hazards to normal organs. Despite all these advantages, many obstacles in phototherapy hinder progress toward clinical application. Therefore, researchers have developed nano-particulate delivery systems integrated with phototherapy and therapeutic cytotoxic drugs to overcome these obstacles and achieve maximum efficacy in cancer treatment. Active targeting ligands were integrated into their surfaces to improve the selectivity and tumor targeting ability, enabling easy binding and recognition by cellular receptors overexpressed on the tumor tissue compared to normal ones. This enhances intratumoral accumulation with minimal toxicity on the adjacent normal cells. Various active targeting ligands, including antibodies, aptamers, peptides, lactoferrin, folic acid and carbohydrates, have been explored for the targeted delivery of chemotherapy/phototherapy-based nanomedicine. Among these ligands, carbohydrates have been applied due to their unique features that ameliorate the bioadhesive, noncovalent conjugation to biological tissues. In this review, the up-to-date techniques of employing carbohydrates active targeting ligands will be highlighted concerning the surface modification of the nanoparticles for ameliorating the targeting ability of the chemo/phototherapy.

Abstract
Cancer is a disease of global importance. In order to mitigate conventional chemotherapy-related side effects, phytochemicals with inherent anticancer efficacy have been opted. However, the use of nanotechnology is essential to enhance the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of these phytochemicals. Herein, we have formulated folic acid conjugated polyacrylic acid capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (∼47.6 nm in diameter) for pH-dependent targeted delivery of chrysin to breast cancer (MCF-7) cells. Chrysin loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Chr- mSiO2@PAA/FA) have been noted to induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cells through oxidative insult and mitochondrial dysfunction with subsequent G1 arrest. Further, in tumor bearing mice, intravenous incorporation of Chr-mSiO2@PAA/FA has been noticed to enhance the anti-neoplastic effects of chrysin via tumor site-specific accumulation. Enhanced cytotoxicity of chrysin contributed towards in vivo tumor regression, restoration of normalized tissue architecture and maintenance of healthy body weight. Besides, no serious systemic toxicity was manifested in response to Chr-mSiO2@PAA/FA administration in vivo. Thus, the study evokes about the anticancer potentiality of chrysin and its increased therapeutic activity via incorporation into folic acid conjugated mesoporous silica nanoparticles, which may hold greater impact in field of future biomedical research.

Abstract
Multi-modal synergistic therapy, especially the integration of near-infrared laser phototherapies and chemotherapy, is often sought after owing to its minimal invasiveness, low side effects, and improved anticancer therapeutic efficacy. Herein, CuS nanoparticles were first coated with zinc phthalocyanine derivant (Pc)-functionalized mesoporous silica (mSiO2-Pc) to achieve a drug delivery system (CuS@mSiO2-Pc) with photothermal/photodynamic therapy. Chemical drug DOX was subsequently loaded for chemotherapy, and hyaluronic acid (HA) was employed as a covering material with cancer targeting. The as-obtained CuS@mSiO2-Pc(DOX)@HA nanoparticles were nano-sized with good biocompatibility, effective DOX loading, and controllable DOX releasing. Expectedly, this multifunctional nanoplatform exhibits effective generation of reactive oxygen species and hyperthermia upon the near-infrared laser irradiation. Most importantly, the nanoparticles were targeted into 4T1 cells and showed significantly remarkable cytotoxicity under near-infrared laser irradiation, proving their synergistic therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, this targeted drug system based on CuS with synergistic photothermal therapy/photodynamic therapy/chemotherapy has great application prospects in clinical anticancer treatment for triple negative breast cancer.

Abstract
Adequate delivery of therapeutic agents to their intended molecular targets is crucial in tumor therapy. Versatile drug carriers need to overcome the challenges coming from the systemic circulation, membrane barriers, and endo-lysosomal degradation. Herein, hyaluronic acid-conjugated polydopamine (HA-PDA)-shelled mesoporous silica nanoparticles encapsulated with doxorubicin (MSNs-DOX) were successfully fabricated for targeted tumor therapy. Compared with reported studies focusing on the pH-sensitive release in tumors, we especially revealed the significant role of lysosomal release in DOX nuclear accumulation. After active targeting and CD44-mediated endocytosis in tumor cells, the PDA layer of the nanoparticles would be peeled off to trigger drug release owing to MSNs gatekeeper in acidic lysosomes. Subsequently, DOX molecules passively diffused into nuclei. The intracellular DOX transportation was evidenced by DOX accumulation in nuclei, lysosomal location of nanoparticles, and lysosome acidification inhibition test. After discharging of the cargoes from nanoparticles, PDA shells from residual nanoparticles were able to produce localized hyperthermia under NIR irradiation entrapped in lysosomes, inducing synergistic chemo-photothermal effect. Under NIR treatment, HA-PDA@MSNs-DOX presented a prominent tumor inhibition rate without obvious side effects. This study indicated the potent nuclear delivery and synergetic chemo-photothermal therapy achieved by HA-PDA-shelled MSNs.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising alternative therapy for benign or even malignant tumors. To improve the selective heating of tumor cells, target-specific photothermal conversion agents are often included, especially nanoparticles. Meanwhile, some indirect methods by manipulating the radiation and heat delivery are also adopted. Therefore, to gain a clear understanding of the mechanism, and to improve the controllability of PTT, a few issues need to be clarified, including bioheat and radiation transfer, localized and collective heating of nanoparticles, etc. In this review, we provide an introduction to the typical bioheat transfer and radiation transfer models along with the dynamic thermophysical properties of biological tissue. On this basis, we reviewed the most recent advances in the temperature control methods in PTT from macroscale to nanoscale. Most importantly, a comprehensive introduction of the localized and collective heating effects of nanoparticle clusters is provided to give a clear insight into the mechanism for PPT from the microscale and nanoscale point of view.

Abstract
Asiatic acid (AA), an aglycone of pentacyclic triterpene glycoside, obtained from the leaves of Centella asiatica exerts anticancer effects by inhibiting cellular proliferation and inducing apoptosis in a wide range of carcinogenic distresses. However, its chemotherapeutic efficacy is dampened by its low bioavailability. Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit therapeutic efficacy and compliance by improving tissue penetration and lowering toxicity. Thus, to increase the therapeutic effectiveness of AA in the treatment of breast cancer, AA-loaded poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) NPs (AA-PLGA NPs) have been formulated. The AA-PLGA NPs were characterized on the basis of their average particle size, zeta potential, electron microscopic imaging, drug loading, and entrapment efficiency. The NPs exhibited sustained drug release profile in vitro. Developed NPs exerted dose-dependent cytotoxicity to MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells without damaging normal cells. The pro-oxidant and pro-apoptotic properties of AA-PLGA NPs were determined by the study of the cellular levels of SOD, CAT, GSH-GSSG, MDA, protein carbonylation, ROS, mitochondrial membrane potential, and FACS analyses on MCF-7 cells. Immunoblotting showed that AA-PLGA NPs elicited an intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. In vivo studies on female BALB/c mice exhibited reduced volume of mammary pad tumor tissues and augmented expression of caspase-3 when administered with AA-PLGA NPs. No systemic adverse effect of AA-PLGA NPs was observed in our studies. Thus, AA-PLGA NPs can act as an efficient drug delivery system against breast cancer.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) constitutes a major threat to human health, yet most current therapeutics are hindered in achieving desirable clinical outcomes by low bioavailability or serious side effects. Herein, we constructed an enzyme-responsive and macrophage-targeting drug delivery system (SIM@HA-MSN) which can potentially modulate the microenvironment of the atherosclerotic plaques characterized by excessive inflammation and overexpression of hyaluronidase (HAase) for precise AS treatment. More specifically, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were loaded with a lipid-lowering drug simvastatin (SIM) and further gated with hyaluronic acid (HA) coating, which endowed the nanosystem with HAase responsiveness and targetability to inflammatory macrophages. Our results showed that a high loading efficiency (>20%) and excellent enzyme-responsive release of SIM were simultaneously achieved for the first time by silica-based nanocarriers through formulation optimizations. Moreover, in vitro experiments confirmed that SIM@HA-MSN possessed robust targeting, anti-inflammatory, and anti-foaming effects, along with low cytotoxicity and excellent hemocompatibility. In addition, preliminary animal experiments demonstrated the as-established nanosystem had a long plasma-retention time and good biocompatibility in vivo. Taken together, SIM@HA-MSN with HA playing triple roles including gatekeeping, lesion-targeting, and long-circulating holds great potential for the management of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Cancer, one of the deadliest diseases for both sexes, has always demanded updated treatment strategies with time. Breast cancer is responsible for the highest mortality rate among females worldwide and requires treatment with advanced regimens due to the higher probability of breast cancer cells to develop drug cytotoxicity followed by resistance. Covalent organic framework (COF) materials with ordered nanoscale porosity can serve as drug delivery vehicles due to their biocompatible nature and large internal void spaces. In this research work, we have employed a novel biocompatible COF, TRIPTA, as a drug delivery carrier towards breast cancer cells. It served as a drug delivery vehicle for cisplatin in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. We have checked the potency of TRIPTA in combating the proliferation of metastatic TNBC cells. Our results revealed that cisplatin loaded over TRIPTA-COF exhibited a greater impact on the CD44+/CD24- cancer stem cell niche of breast cancer. Retarded migration of cancer cells has also been observed with the dual treatment of TRIPTA and cisplatin compared to that of cisplatin alone. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has also been minimized by the combinatorial treatment of cisplatin carried by the carrier material in comparison to cisplatin alone. The epithelial marker E-cadherin is significantly increased in cells treated with cisplatin together with the carrier COF, and the expression of mesenchymal markers such as N-cadherin is lower. The transcriptional factor Snail has been observed under the same treatment. The carrier material is also internalized by the cancer cells in a time-dependent manner, suggesting that the organic carrier can serve as a specific drug delivery vehicle. Our experimental results suggested that TRIPTA-COF can serve as a potent nanocarrier for cisplatin, showing higher detrimental effects on the proliferation and migration of TNBC cells by increasing the cytotoxicity of cisplatin.

Abstract
ACGs (annonaceous acetogenins) possess excellent antitumor activity, but their serious accompanying toxicity has prevented their application in the clinic. To address this problem, we therefore constructed an intratumoral drug delivery system integrating chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. The PEGylation of polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA-PEG NPs) possessed an excellent biocompatibility with size of 70.96 ± 2.55 nm, thus can be used as good photothermal materials in the body. Moreover, PDA-PEG NPs can kill half of cancer cells under NIR (near-infrared) laser irradiation, and the survival rate of 4T1 cells is only 1% when ACG NPs and PDA-PEG NPs are combined. In vivo distribution studies showed that the 0.1 mg/kg ACGs NPs + PDA-PEG NPs + NIR group had the highest tumor inhibition rate, which was significantly superior to that of the 0.1 mg/kg ACGs NPs intratumoral injection group (82.65% vs. 59.08%). Altogether, the combination of PDA-PEG NPs + NIR with chemotherapy drugs may provide a feasible and effective strategy for the treatment of superficial tumors.

Abstract
Drugs are frequently used for only chemotherapy that ignores their photophysical properties that potentially endow them with other therapeutic potency. Additionally, current photothermal-chemotherapy replies on the co-delivery of drugs and photothermal agents, but their spatiotemporal delivery and precise release is unsatisfactory. Herein, we report label-free doxorubicin (DOX) polyprodrug nanoparticles (DPNs) formulated from disulfide bonds-tethered DOX polyprodrug amphiphiles (PDMA-b-PDOXM). Benefiting from boosted nonradiative decay of high-density DOX, significant fluorescence quenching and photothermal effect are observed for DPNs without common photothermal agents. Upon cellular uptake and laser irradiation, the heat can promote lysosomal escape of DPNs into reductive cytosol, whereupon free DOX is released to activate chemotherapy and fluorescence, achieving rational cascade photothermal-chemotherapy. Current label-free polyprodrug strategy can make full use of drug, it provides an alternative insight to extend the therapeutic domain of drugs. This article is protected by copyright.

Polydopamine-Coated Copper-Substituted Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Dual Cancer Therapy. COATINGS 2022.

Abstract
Combinational therapy using chemodynamictherapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is known to enhance the therapeutic outcome for cancer treatment. In this study, a biocompatible nano formulation was developed by coating polydopamine (PDA) over doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded copper-substituted mesoporous silica (CuMSN) nanoparticles. PDA coating not only allowed selective photothermal properties with an extended DOX release but also enhanced the water solubility and biocompatibility of the nanocomposites. The nanocomposites displayed a monodispersed shape and pH-dependent release characteristics, with an outstanding photothermal conversion and excellent tumor cell inhibition. The cellular-uptake experiments of CuMSN@DOX@PDA in A549 cells indicated that nanoparticles (NPs) aided in the enhanced DOX uptake in tumor cells compared to free DOX with synergistic anti-cancer effects. Moreover, the cell-viability studies displayed remarkable tumor inhibition in combinational therapy over monotherapy. Thus, the synthesized CuMSN@DOX@PDA NPs can serve as a promising platform for dual cancer therapy.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been well-researched in the design and fabrication of advanced drug delivery systems (DDSs) due to their advantages such as good biocompatibility, large specific surface area and pore volume for drug loading, easily surface modification, adjusted size and good thermal/chemical stability. For MSN-based DDSs, gate materials are also necessary. And natural polysaccharides, one kind of the most abundant natural resource, have been widely applied as the "gatekeepers" in MSN-based DDSs. Polysaccharides are cheap and rich in sources with good biocompatibility, and some of them have important biological functions. In this review article, polysaccharides including chitosan, hyaluronic acid, sodium alginate and dextran, et al. are briefly introduced. And the preparation processes and properties such as controlled drug release, cancer targeting and disease diagnosis of functional polysaccharide/MSN-based DDSs are discussed.

Abstract
Synergistic therapy has been emerging as new trend for effective tumor treatment due to synchronous function and cooperative reinforcement of multi therapeutic modalities. Herein, gold nanorods (GNRs) encapsulated into polypyrrole (PPy) shell with tunable void space (GNRs@Void@PPy) showing yolk@shell nanostructures were innovatively designed. The exploitation of dual near-infrared (NIR) absorptive species offered synergistic enhancement of photothermal performance. In addition, the manipulation of the void space between them provided additional benefits of high drug encapsulation efficiency (92.6%) and, interestingly, tumor microenvironment and NIR irradiation triggered targeted drug releasing. Moreover, the GNRs@Void@PPy exhibited excellent biocompatibility, and optimal curative effect by chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy was achieved through both in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity investigation.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA), which is derived from marine mussels, has excellent potential in early diagnosis of diseases and targeted drug delivery owing to its good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and photothermal conversion. However, when used as a solid nanoparticle, the application of traditional PDA is restricted because of the low drug-loading and encapsulation efficiencies of hydrophobic drugs. Nevertheless, the emergence of mesoporous materials broaden our horizon. Mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) has the characteristics of a porous structure, simple preparation process, low cost, high specific surface area, high light-to-heat conversion efficiency, and excellent biocompatibility, and therefore has gained considerable interest. This review provides an overview of the preparation methods and the latest applications of MPDA-based nanodrug delivery systems (chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy, photothermal therapy combined with chemotherapy, photothermal therapy combined with immunotherapy, photothermal therapy combined with photodynamic/chemodynamic therapy, and cancer theranostics). This review is expected to shed light on the multi-strategy antitumor therapy applications of MPDA-based nanodrug delivery systems. ![]()

Abstract
Photoactivated therapeutic strategies (photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy), due to the adjusted therapeutic area, time and light dosage, have prevailed for the fight against tumors. Currently, the monotherapy with limited treatment effect and undesired side effects is gradually replaced by multimodal and multifunctional nanosystems. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with unique physicochemical advantages, such as huge specific surface area, controllable pore size and morphology, functionalized modification, satisfying biocompatibility and biodegradability, are considered as promising candidates for multimodal photoactivated cancer therapy. Excitingly, the innovative nanoplatforms based on the mesoporous silica nanoparticles provide more and more effective treatment strategies and display excellent antitumor potential. Given the rapid development of antitumor strategies based on MSNs, this review summarizes the current progress in MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy, mainly consists of (1) photothermal therapy-related theranostics; (2) photodynamic therapy-related theranostics; (3) multimodal synergistic therapy, such as chemo-photothermal-photodynamic therapy, phototherapy-immunotherapy and phototherapy-radio therapy. Based on the limited penetration of irradiation light in photoactivated therapy, the challenges faced by deep-seated tumor therapy are fully discussed, and future clinical translation of MSNs-based photoactivated cancer therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite advances of surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy during the past few decades, the therapeutic efficacy of current therapeutic protocol for osteosarcoma (OS) is still seriously compromised by multi-drug resistance and severe side effects. Amplification of intracellular oxidative stress is considered as an effective strategy to induce cancer cell death. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel strategy that can amplify the intracellular oxidative stress for synergistic cascade cancer therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS A novel nanocomposite, composed of folic acid (FA) modified mesoporous silica-coated gold nanostar (GNS@MSNs-FA) and traditional Chinese medicine lycorine (Ly), was rationally designed and developed. Under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the obtained GNS@MSNs-FA/Ly could promote a high level of ROS production via inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and potent endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Moreover, glutathione (GSH) depletion during ER stress could reduce ROS scavenging and further enable efficient amplification of intracellular oxidative stress. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that GNS@MSNs-FA/Ly coupled with NIR irradiation exhibited excellent antitumor efficacy without noticeable toxicity in MNNG/HOS tumor-bearing mice. CONCLUSION All these results demonstrated that GNS@MSNs-FA/Ly coupled with NIR irradiation could dramatically amplify the intra-tumoral oxidative stress, exhibiting excellent antitumor ability without obvious systemic toxicity. Taken together, this promising strategy provides a new avenue for the effective cancer synergetic therapy and future clinical translation.

Abstract
Photothermal-therapy (PTT) inculcates near-infrared laser guided local heating effect, where high degree of precision is expected, but not well proven to-date. An ex vivo tissue biochemical map with molecular/biochemical response showing the coverage area out of an optimized PTT procedure can reveal precision information. In this work, Raman-microscopic mapping and linear discriminant analysis of spectra of PTT treated and surrounding tissue areas ex vivo are done, revealing three distinct spectral clusters/zones, with minimal overlap between the core treated and adjacent untreated zone. The core treated zone showed intense nucleic-acid, cytochrome/mitochondria and protein damage, an adjacent zone showed lesser degree of damages and far zone showed minimal/no damage. Immunohistochemistry for γH2AX (DNA damage marker protein) in PTT exposed tissue also revealed similar results. Altogether, this study reveals the utility of Raman-microspectroscopy for fine-tuning safety parameters and precision that can be achieved from PTT mediated tumor ablation in preclinical/clinical application.

Abstract
Responsive controlled-release systems can not only improve the efficiency of agrochemical utilization but also increase crop yield and reduce environmental pollution caused by excessive use of agrochemicals. In this paper, the helix-coil structural transition of gelatin was adopted to construct a novel stimuli-responsive controlled-release system called polypyrrole/Ca-alginate/gelatin (PPy/Ca-alginate/Gel). In PPy/Ca-alginate/Gel, Ca-alginate and gelatin form a semi-interpenetrating network in which uncross-linked gelatin can undergo a free helix-coil structural transition due to the photothermal effect of PPy. The structural transition of gelatin will lead to changes in the functional groups and microstructure of semi-interpenetrating hydrogels and furthermore achieve the release of template agrochemical molecules embedded in hydrogels. By using carbendazim as a template molecule, the photothermal conversion and controlled release of PPy/Ca-alginate/Gel were systematically studied. After 600 s of light irradiation, its temperature could be increased by 17 ℃. The release of carbendazim in microspheres reached 91.8 % after 8 h of light irradiation, while it was only 13.3 % in the dark. The results indicated that PPy/Ca-alginate/Gel have excellent controlled-release and sustained-release properties and broad application potential in agriculture.

Abstract
Hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) served as nanocarriers for transporting doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and indocyanine green (ICG) and were incorporated into a pH-sensitive targeted drug delivery system (DDS). Boronate ester bonds were employed to link HMSNs and dopamine-modified hyaluronic acid (DA-HA), which acted as both the "gatekeeper" and targeting agents (HMSNs-B-HA). Well-dispersed HMSNs-B-HA with a diameter of about 170 nm was successfully constructed. The conclusion was drawn from the in vitro drug release experiment that ICG and DOX (ID) co-loaded nanoparticles (ID@HMSNs-B-HA) with high drug loading efficiency could sustain drug release under acidic conditions. More importantly, in vitro cell experiments perfectly showed that ID@HMSNs-B-HA could well inhibit murine mammary carcinoma (4T1) cells via chemotherapy combined with photodynamic therapy and accurately target 4 T1 cells. In summary, all test results sufficiently demonstrated that the prepared ID@HMSNs-B-HA was a promising nano-DDS for cancer photodynamic combined with chemotherapy.

Abstract
Surface functionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) has been proposed as an efficient strategy for enhancing the biocompatibility and efficiency of an MSN-based carrier platform. Herein, natural polyelectrolyte multilayers composed of poly-l-ornithine (PLO) and carboxymethyl lentinan (LC) were coated on the surface of MSNs through a layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technique, and were characterized by ζ-potential, FTIR, 13C NMR, SEM, TEM, XRD, and TG. The prepared carrier presented alternating positive and negative potentials when coated with the polyelectrolytes, and the surface of MSN-PLO/LC was rougher compared to the naked MSNs. The biocompatibility tests, including cytocompatibility, hemocompatibility, and histocompatibility, showed that MSNs biocompatibility could be improved by modifying LC. A high loading and sustained release drug delivery system was constructed after loading doxorubicin (DOX) into the prepared MSN-PLO/LC, which exhibited significant anti-proliferative efficiency in human cervical cancer cell lines (Hela). Therefore, the PLO/LC LbL NPs (layer-by-layer self-assembled nanoparticles coated with PLO/LC layers) based on MSNs, which is easily prepared by electrostatic interactions, can be considered a promising drug chemotherapeutic platform and delivery technique for future human cervical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Phototherapy such as photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy in cancer treatment has been developed quickly over the past few years for its noninvasive nature and high efficiency. However, there are still many drawbacks in phototherapy that prevent it from clinical applications. Thus, scientists have designed different systems to overcome the issues associated with phototherapy, including enhancing the targeting ability of phototherapy, low-temperature photothermal therapy, replacing near-infrared light with other excitation sources, and so on. This article discusses the problems and shortcomings encountered in the development of phototherapy and highlights possible solutions to address them so that phototherapy may become a useful cancer treatment approach in clinical practice. This article aims to give a brief summary about current research advancements in phototherapy research and provides a quick guideline toward future developments in the field.

Abstract
The low power photothermal therapy can reduce the tissue damage caused by laser irradiation, thus the near-infrared (NIR) absorbing vehicles with high photothermal conversion efficiency are demanded in the low power treatment. Herein, the NIR-absorbing agent polydopamine (PDA) and carbon dots (CDs) were gated on the openings of hollow mesoporous carbon (HMC) to construct a photothermal enhanced multi-functional system (HMC-SS-PDA@CDs). Interestingly, the fluorescence emission wavelength of HMC-SS-PDA@CDs was red-shifted by FRET effect between PDA and CDs, which solved the dilemma of fluorescence quenching of carbon-based materials and was more conducive to cell imaging. The modification of PDA@CDs not only acts as the gatekeepers to realize multi-responsive release of pH, GSH and NIR, but also endows the HMC vehicle with excellent photothermal generation capacity, the possibility for bio-imaging as well as the enhanced stability. Naturally, both the cytological level and the multicellular tumor sphere level demonstrate that the delivery system has good low-power synergistic therapeutic with combination index (CI) of 0.348 and imaging effects. Meanwhile, the combined treatment group showed the highest tumor inhibition rate of 92.6% at 0.75 W/cm2. Therefore, DOX/HMC-SS-PDA@CDs nano-platform had broad application prospects in low power therapy and convenient imaging of carbon-based materials.

Abstract
Multimodal imaging-guided accurate tumor-targeting and efficient synergistic therapy are of great importance for cancer therapy in vitro and in vivo. In this study, a biocompatible, tumor-targeted, on-demand chemo-/photothermal therapeutic nanoplatform (HIDSiGdNPs@PDA-HA) based on hollow mesoporous organic silica nanoparticles (HMONs) was used for bimodal imaging and multi-factor stepwise response for drug release and treatment. Targeted molecule hyaluronic acid (HA) promoted the endocytosis of HIDSiGdNPs@PDA-HA in HeLa cancer cells. The gatekeeper pH-/light-sensitive PDA coating was stimulated by the endogenous tumor acidic microenvironment and exogenous NIR laser to release doxorubicin (DOX). Thereafter, HMONs containing S-S bonds were reduced and degraded by endogenous glutathione (GSH), and the drug was further released rapidly to kill cancer cells. Importantly, the photothermal reagent indocyanine green (ICG) was always retained in the carrier, improving the effectiveness of photothermal therapy. The loaded Gd-doped silicon nanoparticles (SiGdNPs) combined with DOX and ICG led to multi-color fluorescence imaging in vitro and magnetic resonance imaging in vivo to realize targeted diagnosis and track drug distribution. The treatment results of tumor-bearing mice also proved the excellent synergistic therapy. It is believed that the multifunctional nanomaterials with dual mode imaging capability and targeted and controlled collaborative therapy would provide an alternative for accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) offer many advantageous properties for applications in the field of nanobiotechnology. Loading of small molecules into MSNs is straightforward and widely applied, but with the upswing of both research and commercial interest in biological drugs in recent years, also biomacromolecules have been loaded into MSNs for delivery purposes. MSNs possess many critical properties making them a promising and versatile carrier for biomacromolecular delivery. In this chapter, we review the effects of the various structural parameters of MSNs on the effective loading of biomacromolecular therapeutics, with focus on maintaining stability and drug delivery performance. We also emphasize recent studies involving the use of MSNs in the delivery of biomacromolecular drugs, especially for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is an important anti-tumor treatment in clinic to date, however, the effectiveness of traditional chemotherapy is limited by its poor selectivity, high systemic toxicity, and multidrug resistance. In recent years, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have become exciting drug delivery systems (DDS) due to their unique advantages, such as easy large-scale production, adjustable uniform pore size, large surface area and pore volumes. While mesoporous silica-based DDS can improve chemotherapy to a certain extent, when used in combination with other cancer therapies MSN based chemotherapy exhibits a synergistic effect, greatly improving therapeutic outcomes. In this review, we discuss the applications of MSN DDS for a diverse range of chemotherapeutic combination anti-tumor therapies, including phototherapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy and other less common modalities. Furthermore, we focus on the characteristics of each nanomaterial and the synergistic advantages of the combination therapies. Lastly, we examine the challenges and future prospects of MSN based chemotherapeutic combination therapies.

Abstract
Targeting mitochondria-mediated apoptosis has emerged as a promising strategy for tumor therapy. However, technologies used to treat tumors that enable the direct visualization of mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in living cells have not been developed to date. Cytochrome c (Cyt c) translocation from mitochondria is a central mediating event in cell apoptosis. In this study, we developed a multifunctional nanosensor that can monitor the real-time translocation of Cyt c from mitochondria in living cells to evaluate the antitumor effect of dihydroartemisinin (DHA). A fluorophore-tagged DNA aptamer is loaded on a graphene oxide (GO)-based nanovehicle, and the cytosolic release of Cyt c causes the dissociation of the aptamer from the GO nanovehicle and triggers the emission of a red fluorescence signal. Furthermore, DHA linked with a coumarin derivative is loaded on GO as a mitochondria-targeting ligand to improve its antitumor activity. This DHA prodrug also emits a green fluorescence signal when delivered to mitochondria. This nanosensor provides a convenient mechanism to monitor mitochondrial targeting by drugs and mitochondria-induced therapeutic efficacy, which may be possible to diagnose the drug efficacy to optimize the treatment for patients with cancer.

Abstract
Electrical stimuli play an important role in regulating the delivery of plasmonic nanomaterials with cancer targeting peptides. Here, we developed an electro-responsive hydrogel-based microfluidic actuator platform for brain tumor targeting and photothermal therapy (PTT) applications. The electro-responsive hydrogels consisted of highly conductive silver nanowires (AgNWs) and biocompatible collagen I gels. We confirmed that an electrically conductive hydrogel could be used as an effective actuator by applying an electrical signal in the microfluidic platform. Furthermore, we successfully demonstrated PTT efficacy for brain tumor cells using targetable Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide-conjugated gold nanorods (GNRs). Therefore, our electro-responsive hydrogel-based microfluidic actuator platform could be useful for electro-responsive intelligent nanomaterial delivery and PTT applications.
