Identification of oxidative stress signatures of lung adenocarcinoma and prediction of patient prognosis or treatment response with single-cell RNA sequencing and bulk RNA sequencing data. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 137:112495. [PMID: 38901238 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112495] [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: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the most common subtype of lung cancer globally, has seen improved prognosis with advancements in diagnostic, surgical, radiotherapy, and molecular therapy techniques, while its 5-year survival rate remains low. Molecular biomarkers provide prognostic value. Oxidative stress factors, such as reactive nitrogen species and ROS, are crucial in various stages of tumor progression, influencing cell transformation, proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis. ROS demonstrate dual roles, affecting tumor cells, hypoxia sensitivity, and the microenvironment. Comprehensive analysis of oxidative stress in LUAD has not been conducted to date. Therefore, we systematically investigated the regulatory patterns of oxidative stress in LUAD based on oxidative stress-related genes and correlated these patterns with cellular infiltration characteristics of the tumor immune microenvironment. The model utilizes single-factor Cox analysis to screen key differential genes with prognostic value and employs least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) penalized Cox regression analysis to construct a prognostic-related prediction model. Ten candidate genes were selected based on this model. The risk score was constructed using the coefficients and expression levels of these ten genes. Furthermore, the impact of this risk score on overall survival (OS) was determined. Two genes with the most significant differential expression, SFTPB and S100P, were selected through qRT-PCR. Cell experiments including CCK-8, Edu, transwell assays confirmed their effects on lung cancer cells growth, consistent with the results of bioinformatics analysis. These findings suggested that this model held potential clinical value for evaluating the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Introduction Traditional cancer treatment strategies often have severe toxic side effects and poor therapeutic efficacy. To address the long-standing problems related to overcoming the complexity of tumors, we develop a novel nanozyme based on the in situ oxidation of 2D Ti3C2 structure to perform simultaneous phototherapy and sonodynamic therapy on tumors. Ti3C2 nanozymes exhibit multi-enzyme activity, including intrinsic peroxidase (POD) activities, which can react with H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment. This new material can construct Ti3C2/TiO2 heterostructures in vivo. Methods Photothermal (PTT), sonodynamic (SDT) effects, and photoacoustic (PA) image-guided synergy therapy can be achieved. Finally, anticancer immune responses occur with this nanozyme. In vivo experiments revealed that the Ti3C2/TiO2 heterostructure inhibited tumor growth. Results Complementarily, our results showed that the Ti3C2/TiO2 heterostructure enhanced the immunogenic activity of tumors by recruiting cytotoxic T cells, thereby enhancing the tumor ablation effect. Mechanistic studies consistently indicated that Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) regulates apoptosis of HCC cells by modulating NRF2/OSGIN1 signaling both in vitro and in vivo. As a result, Ti3C2 nanozyme effectively inhibited tumor through its synergistic ability to modulate ROS and enhance immune infiltration of cytotoxic T cells in the tumor microenvironment. Discussion These findings open up new avenues for enhancing 2D Ti3C2 nanosheets and suggest a new way to develop more effective sonosensitizers for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Water-soluble graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have recently exhibited considerable potential for diverse biomedical applications owing to their exceptional optical and chemical properties. However, the pronounced heterogeneity in the composition, size, and morphology of GQDs poses challenges for a comprehensive understanding of the intricate correlation between their structural attributes and functional properties. This variability also introduces complexities in scaling the production processes and addressing safety considerations. Light and sound have firmly established their role in clinical applications as pivotal energy sources for minimally invasive therapeutic interventions. Given the limited penetration depth of light, photodynamic therapy (PDT) predominantly targets superficial conditions such as dermatological disorders, head and neck malignancies, ocular ailments, and early-stage esophageal cancer. Conversely, ultrasound-based sonodynamic therapy (SDT) capitalizes on its superior ability to propagate and focus ultrasound within biological tissues, enabling a diverse range of therapeutic applications, including the management of gliomas, breast cancer, hematological tumors, and modulation of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Considering the advancements in theranostic and precision therapies, reevaluating these conventional energy sources and their associated sensitizers is imperative. This review introduces three prevalent treatment modalities that harness light and sound stimuli: PDT, SDT, and a synergistic approach that integrates PDT and SDT. This study delineated the therapeutic dynamics and contemporary designs of sensitizers tailored to these modalities. By exploring the historical context of the field and elucidating the latest design strategies, this review underscores the pivotal role of GQDs in propelling the evolution of PDT and SDT. This aspires to stimulate researchers to develop "multimodal" therapies integrating both light and sound stimuli.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) as a promising non-invasive anti-tumor means features the preferable penetration depth, which nevertheless, usually can't work without sonosensitizers. Sonosensitizers produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of ultrasound to directly kill tumor cells, and concurrently activate anti-tumor immunity especially after integration with tumor microenvironment (TME)-engineered nanobiotechnologies and combined therapy. Current sonosensitizers are classified into organic and inorganic ones, and current most reviews only cover organic sonosensitizers and highlighted their anti-tumor applications. However, there have few specific reviews that focus on inorganic sonosensitizers including their design principles, microenvironment regulation, etc. In this review, inorganic sonosensitizers are first classified according to their design rationales rather than composition, and the action rationales and underlying chemistry features are highlighted. Afterward, what and how TME is regulated based on the inorganic sonosensitizers-based SDT nanoplatform with an emphasis on the TME targets-engineered nanobiotechnologies are elucidated. Additionally, the combined therapy and their applications in non-cancer diseases are also outlined. Finally, the setbacks and challenges, and proposed the potential solutions and future directions is pointed out. This review provides a comprehensive and detailed horizon on inorganic sonosensitizers, and will arouse more attentions on SDT.

Abstract
Inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, periodontitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and celiac disease, disrupt the delicate balance between bone resorption and formation, leading to inflammatory bone loss. Conventional approaches to tackle this issue encompass pharmaceutical interventions and surgical procedures. Nevertheless, pharmaceutical interventions exhibit limited efficacy, while surgical treatments impose trauma and significant financial burden upon patients. Biomaterials show outstanding spatiotemporal controllability, possess a remarkable specific surface area, and demonstrate exceptional reactivity. In the present era, the advancement of emerging biomaterials has bestowed upon more efficacious solutions for combatting the detrimental consequences of inflammatory bone loss. In this review, the advances of biomaterials for ameliorating inflammatory bone loss are listed. Additionally, the advantages and disadvantages of various biomaterials-mediated strategies are summarized. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of biomaterials are analyzed. This review aims to provide new possibilities for developing more advanced biomaterials toward inflammatory bone loss.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-mediated sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has received extensive attention in pathogen elimination for non-invasiveness and high spatial and temporal accuracy. Considering that hydrogel can provide a healing-friendly environment for wounds, in this work, hybrid hydrogels are constructed by embedding Ag doped TiO2 nanoparticles in chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels for enhanced sonodynamic antibacterial therapy. With metal silver doped, TiO2 nanoparticles sonosensitivity is improved to generate more reactive oxygen species (ROS), which endows hybrid hydrogels with high-efficient antibacterial properties. In vivo results show that hybrid hydrogel dressing can prevent infection and promote wound closure within 2 days. The healing ratio excess 95 % with no pus produced at the end of treatment. The therapeutic mechanism was identified that heterojunction formed in Ag doped TiO2 facilitates the separation of charge carriers under US irradiation, leading to elevating ROS generation. The generated ROS promote hybrid hydrogels sonodynamic antibacterial therapeutic efficacy to thoroughly eliminate pathogen via disrupting bacterial cell membrane integrity, decreasing membrane fluidity and increasing membrane permeability. Besides, biofilm formation could be effectively inhibited. This work developed a hybrid hydrogel with amplified SDT effect for wound healing, which is expected to provide inspiration of hybrid hydrogels design and Ti-based nanomaterials sonosensitivity enhancement.

Abstract
Traditional therapies have poor accuracy and significant toxic side effects in the process of tumor treatment. The non-traditional treatment methods with high accuracy and efficacy are worth exploring and investigating. Herein, a strategy that enables precise and synergistic therapies of calcium-overload, photodynamic, and photothermal through facile near infrared (NIR) irradiation was carried out base on the injectable and self-healable hydrogel encapsulating indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded and bovine serum albumin (BSA)-modified calcium peroxide (CaO2) nanoparticles (ICG@CaO2-BSA NPs) and bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanorods. The hydrogel fabricated through the dynamic Schiff-base bonds between hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCS) and aldehyde-modified Pluronic F127 (F127-CHO) as the delivery substrate for functional substances could adhere and grip tumor tissues due to the adhesion of hydroxyl groups in HPCS and the hydrophobic aggregation caused by thermoresponsiveness of F127-CHO. CaO2 in ICG@CaO2-BSA NPs decomposed in the tumor micro-acidic environment to produce calcium ions (Ca2+) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), while ICG generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) under NIR irradiation, the photothermal effect of Bi2S3 nanorods and ICG under NIR irradiation could increase the temperature of tumor tissues and ultimately achieve precise tumor cell destruction. Therefore, this strategy will provide promising prospects for precise and efficient treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Radical prostatectomy is a primary treatment option for localized prostate cancer (PCa), although high rates of recurrence are commonly observed postsurgery. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has demonstrated efficacy in treating nonmetastatic localized PCa with a low incidence of adverse events. However, its limited efficacy remains a concern. To address these issues, various organic polymeric nanoparticles (OPNPs) loaded with photosensitizers (PSs) that target prostate cancer have been developed. However, further optimization of the OPNP design is necessary to maximize the effectiveness of PDT and improve its clinical applicability. This Review provides an overview of the design, preparation, methodology, and oncological aspects of OPNP-based PDT for the treatment of PCa.

[PMID: 37755123 DOI: 10.1002/asia.202300749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
The potential of reactive oxygen species (ROS) cancer therapy in tumor treatment has been greatly enhanced by the introduction of catalytically superior polyoxometalate (POM)-based nanoplatforms, mainly composed of atomic clusters consisting of pre-transition metals and oxygen. These nanoplatforms have unique advantages, such as Fenton activity at neutral pH, induction of cellular ferroptosis instead of just apoptosis, and sensitivity to external field stimulation. However, there are also inevitable challenges such as neutralization of ROS by the antioxidant system of the tumor microenvironment (TME), hypoxia, and limited hydrogen peroxide concentrations. This review article aims to provide an overview of recent research advancements in POM-based nanoplatforms for ROS therapy from the perspective of chemical reactions and biological processes, addressing endogenous and exogenous factors that affect the antitumor efficacy. Endogenous factors include the mechanism of ROS generation by POM, the impact of pH and antioxidant systems on POM, and the various manners of tumor cell death. Exogenous stimuli mainly include light, heat, X-rays, and electricity. The article analyzes the specific mechanisms of action of each influencing factor in the first two sections, concluding with the limitations of the present study and some possible directions for future research.

Abstract
Among the emerging cancer therapeutic methods, nanocatalytic therapy through the rational design of nanozymes is considered to be a promising strategy. However, high-performance nanozymes with the ability to catalyze the production of toxic substances to efficiently kill cancer cells are still highly desired. Herein, we fabricate bismuth nanoclusters loaded on nitrogen-doped porous carbon (Bi-NC) as a nanozyme for cancer therapy. The Bi-NC nanozyme displays both peroxidase (POD) and glutathione oxidase (GSHOx) biomimetic enzymatic activities, especially in a tumor microenvironment (TME), which catalyzes the production of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and depletes antioxidant glutathione (GSH), simultaneously. Moreover, Bi-NC exhibits good photothermal conversion performance under near-infrared light irradiation. After surface modification with hyaluronic acid (HA) to improve the dispersity of nanoparticles and their accumulation in tumor tissues, Bi-NC@HA exhibits remarkable antitumor effects through the synergistic effect of catalytic and photothermal therapy. This work provides a new pathway for designing high-performance nanozymes for cancer catalytic therapy.

Abstract
An all-in-one therapy for cooperatively fighting cancer, infection and boosting wound repair is exceedingly demanded for patients with advanced superficial cancers or after surgical intervention to avoid multiple drug abuse and resultant adverse effects. Here, the ultrasound-activated nanosonosensitizer PHMP that integrated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) into the Pd-catalyzed hydrogenated mesoporous titanium dioxide (PHM) was dexterously designed for combined therapy of cancer and infected wound based on oxygen/sulfate dual-radical nanotherapy. Firstly, the PHM with single crystal structure and abundant oxygen deficiencies exhibited excellent ultrasound-excited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production for enhanced sonodynamic therapy (SDT) under the support of Pd nanozyme-mediated O2 supply. Simultaneously, the physically targeted ultrasound irradiation effectively transformed PMS loaded in the hollow cavities into distinct sulfate radical (•SO4-) with longer half-life and stronger oxidation, which remarkably enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of PHM-mediated SDT for cancer and bacteria. In addition, by embedding PHMP into the hydrogel, the enrichment of PHMP in the focal site was guaranteed, and meanwhile a moist and ventilated environment was created to speed up wound repair. The study broadens the potential of •SO4- in the therapeutic fields and contributes a simple and appealing tactic for the comprehensive treatment of cancer, infection and wound repair.

Abstract
Inflammatory disease (ID) is a general term that covers all diseases in which chronic inflammation performs as the major manifestation of pathogenesis. Traditional therapies based on the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs are palliative with the short-term remission. The emergence of nanodrugs has been reported to solve the potential causes and prevent recurrences, thus holding great potential for the treatment of IDs. Among various nanomaterial systems, transition metal-based smart nanosystems (TMSNs) with unique electronic structures possess therapeutic advantages owing to their large surface area to volume ratio, high photothermal conversion efficiency, X-ray absorption capacity, and multiple catalytic enzyme activities. In this review, the rationale, design principle, and therapeutic mechanisms of TMSNs for treatments of various IDs are summarized. Specifically, TMSNs can not only be designed to scavenge danger signals, such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and cell-free DNA, but also can be engineered to block the mechanism of initiating inflammatory responses. In addition, TMSNs can be further applied as nanocarriers to deliver anti-inflammatory drugs. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of TMSNs are discussed, and the future directions of TMSN-based ID treatment for clinical applications are emphasized.

Abstract
Wound healing has become one of the basic issues faced by the medical community because of the susceptibility of skin wounds to bacterial infection. As such, it is highly desired to design a nanocomposite hydrogel with excellent antibacterial activity to achieve high wound closure effectiveness. Here, based on ultrasound-triggered piezocatalytic therapy, a multifunctional hydrogel is designed to promote bacteria-infected wound healing. Under ultrasonic vibration, the surface of barium titanate (BaTiO3, BT) nanoparticles embedded in the hydrogel rapidly generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) owing to the established strong built-in electric field, endowing the hydrogel with superior antibacterial efficacy. This modality shows intriguing advantages over conventional photodynamic therapy, such as prominent soft tissue penetration ability and the avoidance of serious skin phototoxicity after systemic administration of photosensitizers. Moreover, the hydrogel based on N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]acrylamide (THM), N-(3-aminopropyl)methacrylamide hydrochloride (APMH) and oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) exhibits outstanding self-healing and bioadhesive properties able to accelerate full-thickness skin wound healing. Notably, compared with the widely reported mussel-inspired adhesive hydrogels, OHA/THM-APMH hydrogel due to the multiple hydrogen bonds from unique tri-hydroxyl structure overcomes the shortage that catechol groups are easily oxidized, giving it long-term and repeatable adhesion performance. Importantly, this hybrid hydrogel confines BT nanoparticles to wound area and locally induced piezoelectric catalysis under ultrasound to eradicate bacteria, markedly improving the therapeutic biosafety and exhibits great potential for harmless treatment of bacteria-infected tissues.

Abstract
Oxidative stress-based antitumor modalities derived from reactive oxygen species (ROS) storms have attracted increasing attention. Nevertheless, low delivery efficiency, poor selectivity, hypoxia and overexpressed glutathione (GSH) have severely restricted the sustainable generation of the ROS storm in tumor cells. Herein, we design a bioengineered nanogenerator by coordination-driven co-assembly of sonosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG), Fenton-like agent copper ion (CuⅡ) and mitochondrial respiratory inhibitor metformin (MET), which is then camouflaged by a cancer cytomembrane to induce a sustainable intracellular ROS storm for on-demand self-reinforcing sono-chemodynamic oncotherapy. Such a nanogenerator with a core-shell structure, suitable diameter and outstanding stability can efficiently accumulate in tumor regions and then internalize into tumor cells through the camouflaging and homologous targeting strategy of the cancer cytomembrane. The nanogenerator shows an exceptional instability under the triple stimulations of acidic lysosomes, overexpressed GSH and ultrasound (US) radiation, thereby resulting in the rapid disassembly and burst drug release. Interestingly, the released MET significantly enhances the sonodynamic therapy (SDT) efficacy of the released ICG by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration and meanwhile the released CuⅡ obviously reduces ROS elimination by downregulating overexpressed GSH for self-amplifying and self-protecting the intracellular ROS storm. Moreover, such a nanogenerator almost completely achieves the tumor ablation in vivo in a single therapy cycle. Taken together, our bioengineered nanogenerator with a sustainable ROS storm can provide a promising strategy for ROS storm-based oncotherapy.

Abstract
Endogenous electric field is ubiquitous in a multitude of important living activities such as bone repair, cell signal transduction, and nerve regeneration, signifying that regulating the electric field in organisms is highly beneficial to maintain organism health. As an emerging and promising research direction, piezoelectric nanomedicine and materdicine precisely activated by ultrasound with synergetic advantages of deep tissue penetration, remote spatiotemporal selectivity, and mechanical-electrical energy interconversion, have been progressively utilized for disease treatment and tissue repair by participating in the modulation of endogenous electric field. This specific nanomedicine utilizing piezoelectric effect activated by ultrasound is typically regarded as "sonopiezoelectric nanomedicine". This comprehensive review summarizes and discusses the substantially employed sonopiezoelectric nanomaterials and nanotherapies to provide an insight into the internal mechanism of the corresponding biological behavior/effect of sonopiezoelectric biomaterials in versatile disease treatments. This review primarily focuses on the sonopiezoelectric biomaterials for biosensing, drug delivery, tumor therapy, tissue regeneration, antimicrobia, and further illuminates the underlying sonopiezoelectric mechanism. In addition, the challenges and developments/prospects of sonopiezoelectric nanomedicine are analyzed for promoting the further clinical translation. It is earnestly expected that this kind of nanomedicine/biomaterials-enabled sonopiezoelectric technology will provoke the comprehensive investigation and promote the clinical development of the next-generation multifunctional materdicine.

Abstract
Tumor immunotherapy has become an important means of tumor therapy by enhancing the immune response and triggering the activation of immune cells. However, currently, only a small number of patients respond to immunotherapy alone, and patients may experience immune-related adverse events (irAEs) during the course of treatment. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can produce cytotoxic substances to tumor tissue, induce apoptosis and enhance immunity. SDT combined with immunotherapy is considered a promising strategy for cancer treatment. In this mini review, we summarize the role of SDT in immunotherapy in recent years, including the application of SDT-triggered immunotherapy and the combination of SDT and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Manipulating intracellular levels of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) is of great potential for cancer treatment. Inspired by the natural mechanism of a radical storm in inflammatory cells via activated and regulatable biocatalysis, the authors herein report a self-powered nanozyme that can enable RONS production in tumor cells via cascade reactions. The nanozymes are constructed via glucose oxidase (GOx)-templated inverse microemulsion polymerization from acrylamide, arginine-acrylamide, ferrocene-acrylate, and N,N'-bis(acryloyl)cystamine, followed by surface coating with hyaluronic acid. After targeted delivery into cancer cells, the nanozymes are dissociated by intracellular glutathione to release GOx, which decomposed glucose to generate gluconic acid and H2 O2 . Under such acidified conditions, H2 O2 efficiently oxidized pendant arginine residues to produce nitric oxide , transformed into a highly toxic hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion via ferrocene-mediated Fenton reaction and Haber-Weiss cycle, and simultaneously generated peroxynitrite anion via reaction between NO and ·O2 - , thus provoking the RONS radical storm to effectively eradicate A549 tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo. This nature-inspired enzyme-chemical dynamic therapy may provide a promising modality for anti-cancer treatment.

Abstract
Redox imbalance can trigger cell dysfunction and damage and plays a vital role in the origin and progression of many diseases. Maintaining the balance between oxidants and antioxidants in vivo is a complicated and arduous task, leading to ongoing research into the construction of redox nanomaterials. Nanodrug platforms with redox characteristics can not only reduce the adverse effects of oxidative stress on tissues by removing excess oxidants from the body but also have multienzyme-like activity, which can play a cytotoxic role in tumor tissues through the catalytic oxidation of their substrates to produce harmful reactive oxygen species such as hydroxyl radicals. In this review, various redox nanomaterials currently used in disease therapy are discussed, emphasizing the treatment methods and their applications in tumors and other human tissues. Finally, the limitations of the current clinical application of redox nanomaterials are considered.

Abstract
Enzyme-responsive drug delivery systems have drawn much attention in the field of cancer theranostics due to their high sensitivity and substrate specificity under mild conditions. In this study, an amphiphilic polymer T1 is reported, which contains a tetraphenylethene unit and a poly(ethylene glycol) chain linked by an esterase-responsive phenolic ester bond. In aqueous solution, T1 formed stable micelles via self-assembly, which showed an aggregation-induced emission enhancement of 32-fold at 532 nm and a critical micelle concentration of 0.53 μM as well as esterase-responsive activity. The hydrophobic drug doxorubicin (DOX) was efficiently encapsulated into the micelles with a drug loading of 21%. In the presence of the esterase, the selective decomposition of drug-loaded T1 micelles was observed, and DOX was subsequently released with a half-life of 5 h. In vitro antitumor studies showed that T1@DOX micelles exhibited good therapeutic effects on HeLa cells, while normal cells remained mostly intact. In vivo anticancer experiments revealed that T1@DOX micelles indeed suppressed tumor growth and had reduced side effects compared to DOX·HCl. The present work showed the potential clinical application of esterase-responsive drug delivery in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery are traditional cancer treatments, which usually produce unpredictable side effects and potential risks to normal healthy organs/tissues. Thus, safe and reliable treatment strategies are urgently required for maximized therapeutic efficiency to lesions and minimized risks to healthy regions. To this end, molecular imaging is responsible to undertake a specific targeting therapy. Besides that, the image guidance as a precision visualized approach for real-time in situ evaluations as well as an intraoperational navigation approach has earned attractive attention in the past decade. Along with the rapid development of multifunctional micro-/nanobiomaterials, versatile cutting-edge and advanced therapy strategies (e.g., thermal therapy, dynamic therapy, gas therapy, etc.) have been achieved and greatly contributed to the image-guided precision treatments in every aspect. Therefore, this chapter aims to discuss about both traditional and advanced cancer treatments and especially to elucidate the important roles that visualized medicine has been playing in the image-guided precision treatments.

Abstract
Intracellular oxidative amplification can effectively destroy tumor cells. Additionally, Fe-mediated Fenton reaction often converts cytoplasm H2 O2 to generate extensive hypertoxic hydroxyl radical (• OH), leading to irreversible mitochondrion damage for tumor celleradication, which is widely famous as tumor chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Unfortunately, intracellular overexpressed glutathione (GSH) always efficiently scavenges • OH, resulting in the significantly reduced CDT effect. To overcome this shortcoming and improve the oxidative stress in cytoplasm, Fe3 O4 ultrasmall nanoparticle encapsulated and ICG loaded organo-mesoporous silica nanovehicles (omSN@Fe-ICG) are constructed to perform both photothermal and GSH depletion to enhance the Fenton-like CDT, by realizing intracellular oxidative stress amplification. After this nanoagents are internalized, the tetrasulfide bonds in the dendritic mesoporous framework can be decomposed with GSH to amplify the toxic ROS neration by selectively converting H2 O2 to hydroxyl radicals through the released Fe-based nanogranules. Furthermore, the NIR laser-induced hyperthermia can further improve the Fenton reaction rate that simultaneously destroyed the mitochondria. As a result, the GSH depletion and photothermal assisted CDT can remarkably improve the tumor eradication efficacy.

Abstract
Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is a malignant tumor with the highest incidence among women. Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are currently used as the first-line methods for treating BC. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) in combination with sonosensitizers exerts a synergistic effect. The therapeutic effects of SDT depend on factors, such as the intensity, frequency, and duration of ultrasound, and the type and the biological model of sonosensitizer. Current reviews have focused on the possibility of using tumor-seeking sonosensitizers, sometimes in combination with different therapies, such as immunotherapy. This study elucidates the therapeutic mechanism of interaction between SDT and tissue as well as the current progress in medical applications of SDT to BC.

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

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT) based on semiconductor nanomaterials has attracted considerable attention for cancer therapy. However, most inorganic sonosensitizers suffer from low efficiency due to the rapid recombination of electron-hole pairs. Herein, the Cu2-xO-BaTiO3 piezoelectric heterostructure was fabricated as a sonosensitizer and chemodynamic agent, simultaneously, for improving reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and cancer therapeutic outcome. Under US irradiation, the Cu2-xO-BaTiO3 heterojunction with a piezotronic effect exhibits high-performance singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation to enhance SDT. Moreover, it possesses Fenton-like reaction activity to convert endogenous H2O2 into •OH for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). The integration of SDT and CDT substantially boosts ROS generation and cellular mitochondria damage, and the in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate high cytotoxicity and tumor inhibition on murine refractory breast cancer. This work realizes improvement in cancer therapy using piezoelectric heterostructures with piezotronic effects.

Abstract
The application of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for cancer is a serious challenge owing to the low efficiency of the Fenton catalyst and insufficient H2O2 expression in cells. Herein, we fabricated a PDGFB targeting, biodegradable FePt alloy assembly for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided chemotherapy and starving-enhanced chemodynamic therapy for cancer using PDGFB targeting, pH-sensitive liposome-coated FePt alloys, and GOx (pLFePt-GOx). We found that the Fenton-catalytic activity of FePt alloys was far stronger than that of traditional ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticle (UION). Upon entry into cancer cells, pLFePt-GOx nanoliposomes degraded into many tiny FePt alloys and released GOx owing to the weakly acidic nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The released GOx-mediated glucose consumption not only caused a starvation status but also increased the level of cellular H2O2 and acidity, promoting Fenton reaction by FePt alloys and resulting in an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in cells, which ultimately realized starving-enhanced chemodynamic process for killing tumor cells. The anticancer mechanism of pLFePt-GOx involved ROS-mediated apoptosis and ferroptosis, and glucose depletion-mediated starvation death. In the in vivo assay, the systemic delivery of pLFePt-GOx showed excellent antitumor activity with low biological toxicity and significantly enhanced T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal of the tumor, indicating that pLFePt-GOx can serve as a highly efficient theranostic tool for cancer. This work thus describes an effective, novel multi-modal cancer theranostic system.

Abstract
Variant modalities are quested and merged into the tumor nanotherapy by leveraging the excitation from external or intratumoral incentives. However, the ubiquitous hypoxia and the insufficient content of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) in tumor microenvironments inevitably hinder the effective production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To radically extricate from the shackles, peroxymonosulfate (PMS: HSO5- )-loaded hollow mesoporous copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared as the distinct ROS donors for sulfate radical (•SO4- )-mediated and stimuli-responsive tumor nanotherapy in an oxygen-independent manner. In this therapeutic modality, the second near-infrared laser irradiation, together with the released copper ions as well as the heat produced by CuS after illumination, work together to activate PMS thus triply ensuring the copious production of •SO4- . Different from conventional ROS, the emergence of •SO4- , possessing a longer half-life and more rapid reaction, is independent of the oxygen (O2 ) and H2 O2 content within the tumor. In addition, this engineered nanosystem also exerts the function of photoacoustic imaging and skin restoration on the corresponding animal models. This study reveals the enormous potential of sulfate radical in oncotherapy and broadens pave for exploring the application of multifunctional and stimuli-responsive nanosystems in biomedicine.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced cell apoptosis has emerged as an efficient strategy for cancer therapy. However, tumor hypoxia and insufficient amounts of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor microenvironment are currently the main limitations of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Moreover, the glutathione (GSH) scavenging effect on ROS further hinders the efficiency of ROS-mediated therapy. Here, a CaO2-based nanosystem (named as CF@CO@HC) with ROS self-amplification and GSH-depletion abilities was developed by a bottom-up approach. This hybrid nanoparticle consisted of a photosensitizer-doped calcium peroxide (CaO2) core (CaO2-FM), a hybrid organosilica framework (Cu-ONS) incorporated with Fenton reagents (Cu2+) and tetrasulfide groups, and a local hydrophobic cage (HC) shell. The photosensitizer was fluorescein derivative 4-FM with a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) property. The HC shell was built to protect the CaO2 and the photosensitizer from being attacked by water. Upon being internalized into cancer cells, the nanosystem was decomposed through the reduction reactions of Cu2+ and the tetrasulfide bond-doped silica shell by GSH, thus releasing Cu+ for Cu+-mediated CDT. Meanwhile, the exposed CaO2-FM can react with H2O to liberate photosensitizer 4-FM and generate H2O2 and O2 to overcome barriers in CDT and PDT. Thus, our study provided an open-source and reduced-expenditure strategy via GSH depletion and ROS self-amplification behaviors for ROS generation and significantly achieved an improved synergistic PDT/CDT for cancers.

Abstract
The development of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation agents that can selectively produce sufficient ROS at the tumor site without external energy stimulation is of great significance for the further clinical application of ROS-based therapies. Herein, we designed a cascade-responsive ROS nanobomb (ZnO2@Ce6/CaP@CPPO/BSA, designated as Z@Ce6/CaP@CB) with domino effect and without external stimulation for the specific generation of multiple powerful ROS storms at the tumor site. The calcium phosphate shell and ZnO2 core gradually degrade and release Ca2+, Zn2+ and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under acid stimulation. On the one hand, Zn2+ can enhance the generation of endogenous superoxide anions (·O2–) and H2O2 through the inhibition of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. On the other hand, the generation of large amounts of exogenous H2O2 can cause oxidative damage to tumor cells and further activate bis[2,4,5-trichloro-6-(pentyloxycarbonyl)phenyl] oxalate (CPPO)-mediated chemiexcited photodynamic therapy. In addition, the oxidative stress caused by the generated ROS can lead to the uncontrolled accumulation of Ca2+ in cells and further result in Ca2+ overload-induced cell death. Therefore, the introduction of Z@Ce6/CaP@CB nanobombs triggered the ‘domino effect’ that caused multiple heavy ROS storms and Ca2+ overload in tumors and effectively activated anti-tumor immune response.

Abstract
The increasing cancer morbidity and mortality requires the development of high-efficiency and low-toxicity anticancer approaches. In recent years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted much attention in cancer therapy due to its non-invasive features and low side effects. Photosensitizer (PS) is one of the key factors of PDT, and its successful delivery largely determines the outcome of PDT. Although a few PS molecules have been approved for clinical use, PDT is still limited by the low stability and poor tumor targeting capacity of PSs. Various nanomaterial systems have shown great potentials in improving PDT, such as metal nanoparticles, graphene-based nanomaterials, liposomes, ROS-sensitive nanocarriers and supramolecular nanomaterials. The small molecular PSs can be loaded in functional nanomaterials to enhance the PS stability and tumor targeted delivery, and some functionalized nanomaterials themselves can be directly used as PSs. Herein, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of PDT, and summarize the recent progress of nanomaterials-based PSs and delivery systems in anticancer PDT. In addition, the concerns of nanomaterials-based PDT including low tumor targeting capacity, limited light penetration, hypoxia and nonspecific protein corona formation are discussed. The possible solutions to these concerns are also discussed.

Abstract
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, strategies related to nanomedicine have been used to overcome the shortcomings of traditional chemotherapy drugs, thereby demonstrating significant potential for innovative drug delivery. Nanomaterials play an increasingly important role in cancer immunotherapy. Stimuli-responsive nanomaterials enable the precise control of drug release through exposure to specific stimuli and exhibit excellent specificity in response to various stimuli. Immunomodulators carried by nanomaterials can also effectively regulate the immune system and significantly improve their therapeutic effect on cancer. In recent years, stimuli-responsive nanomaterials have evolved rapidly from single stimuli-responsive systems to multi-stimuli-responsive systems. This review focuses on recent advances in the design and applications of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials, including exogenous and endogenous responsive nanoscale drug delivery systems, which show extraordinary potential in intelligent drug delivery for multimodal cancer diagnosis and treatment. Ultimately, the opportunities and challenges in the development of intelligent responsive nanomaterials are briefly discussed according to recent advances in multi-stimuli-responsive systems.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT), as one of the main methods of clinical tumor treatment, has been applied to the treatment of most solid tumors. However, the effect of RT is compromised by the radiation resistance of tumor hypoxic environment and non-specific damage caused by high-dose radiation. Bismuth chalcogenides (Bi2X3, X = S, Se) based nanodrugs have attracted widespread attention as highly efficient radiosensitizers due to their high photoelectric effect and excellent biocompatibility. More importantly, specially designed nanocomposites can effectively alleviate the radiation resistance of tumor tissues. Here, for the first time, we systematically summarize the latest progresses of Bi2X3 nanodrugs to enhance RT by alleviating the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. These emerging Bi2X3 nanodrugs mainly include three aspects, which are Bi2X3 nanocomposites with high-efficient O2 supply, non-O2-dependent Bi2X3 nanocomposites RT enhancers, and Bi2X3 nanocomposites-based photothermal-enhanced radiosensitizers. These Bi2X3 nanodrugs can effectively overcome the RT resistance of tumor hypoxic microenvironment, and have extremely high therapeutic effects and clinical application prospects. Finally, we put forward the challenges and prospects of Bi2X3 nanomaterials in the field of RT.

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
Electrodynamic therapy (EDT) has recently emerged as a potential external field responsive approach for tumor treatment. While it presents a number of clear superiorities, EDT inherits the intrinsic challenges of current reactive oxygen species (ROS) based therapeutic treatments owing to the complex tumor microenvironment, including glutathione (GSH) overexpression, acidity and others. Herein for the first time, iron oxide nanoparticles are decorated using platinum nanocrystals (Fe3O4@Pt NPs) to integrate the current EDT with chemodynamic phenomenon and GSH depletion. Fe3O4@Pt NPs can effectively induce ROS generation based on the catalytic reaction on the surface of Pt nanoparticles triggered by electric field (E), and meanwhile it may catalyze intracellular H2O2 into ROS via Fenton reaction. In addition, Fe3+ ions released from Fe3O4@Pt NPs under the acidic condition in tumor cells consume GSH in a rapid fashion, inhibiting ROS clearance to enhance its antitumor efficacy. As a result, considerable in vitro and in vivo tumor inhibition phenomena are observed. This study has demonstrated an alternative concept of combinational therapeutic modality with superior efficacy. ![]()

Abstract
Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a typical reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent treatment with high controllability, has emerged as an alternative cancer therapy modality but its therapeutic efficacy is still unsatisfactory due to the limited light penetration and constant oxygen consumption. With the development of another ROS-dependent paradigm ferroptosis, several efforts have been made to conquer the poor efficacy by combining these two approaches; however the biocompatibility, tumor-targeting capacity and clinical translation prospect of current studies still exist great concerns. Herein, a novel hypoxia-responsive nanoreactor BCFe@SRF with sorafenib (SRF) loaded inside, constructed by covalently connecting chlorin e6 conjugated bovine serum albumin (BSA-Ce6) and ferritin through azobenzene (Azo) linker, were prepared to offer unmatched opportunities for high-efficient PDT and ferroptosis synergistic therapy. Results The designed BCFe@SRF exhibited appropriate size distribution, stable dispersity, excellent ROS generation property, controllable drug release capacity, tumor accumulation ability, and outstanding biocompatibility. Importantly, the BCFe@SRF could be degraded under hypoxia environment to release BSA-Ce6 for laser-triggered PDT, ferritin for iron-catalyzed Fenton reaction and SRF for tumor antioxidative defense disruption. Meanwhile, besides PDT effects, it was found that BCFe@SRF mediated treatment upon laser irradiation in hypoxic environment not only could accelerate lipid peroxidation (LPO) generation but also could deplete intracellular glutathione (GSH) and decrease glutathione peroxidase (GPX4) expression, which was believed as three symbolic events during ferroptosis. All in all, the BCFe@SRF nanoreactor, employing multiple cascaded pathways to promote intracellular ROS accumulation, presented remarkably outstanding antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion BCFe@SRF could serve as a promising candidate for synergistic PDT and ferroptosis therapy, which is applicable to boost oxidative damage within tumor site and will be informative to future design of ROS-dependent therapeutic nanoplatforms.

Abstract
High efficiency photocatalysts capable of disinfecting a broad-spectrum microorganisms are needed for the practical application of photodisinfection technology. Herein, we synthesized a highly efficient photodisinfection catalyst composed of Ti3+ self-doped TiO2 decorated with carbon dots (CDs) and palladium nano-photocatalyst, designated as Pd/CDs/Ti3+-TiO2, via a facile hydrothermal-calcination approach. XPS and ESR analyses were performed to verify that the composite contained Ti3+, while TEM imaging and FTIR confirmed that the samples contained CDs. The as synthesized photocatalysts, particularly the 1% Pd/CDs/Ti3+-TiO2 sample, exhibited superior photocatalyzed antibacterial activity to pure TiO2 against E. coli (~6.5 orders of magnitude increase at 30 min). The 1% Pd/CDs/Ti3+-TiO2 photocatalyst also exhibited efficient photodisinfection of five pathogenic agricultural fungi. The dark cytotoxicity of the 1% Pd/CDs/Ti3+-TiO2 nanocomposites was evaluated on HepG2 and Chinese hamster lung (V79) cells via Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and found to be minimal. Lastly, the recycling capacity for the photodisinfective activity of the nanocomposites was evaluated and found to be unchanged after five cycles. Four active species were identified as contributing to the photoinduced antimicrobial activity of the catalyst: h+, •O2-, •OH, and e-. Together, our results indicate that Pd/CDs/Ti3+-TiO2 nanocomposites have great potential in agricultural plant pathogen disinfection.

Abstract
It is of utmost urgency to achieve effective and safe anticancer treatment with the increasing mortality rate of cancer. Novel anticancer drugs and strategies need to be designed for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Fenton- and Fenton-like reaction-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are new strategies to enhance anticancer efficacy due to their capacity to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxygen (O2). On the one hand, the generated ROS can damage the cancer cells directly. On the other hand, the generated O2 can relieve the hypoxic condition in the tumor microenvironment (TME) which hinders efficient photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, etc. Therefore, CDT can be used together with many other therapeutic strategies for synergistically enhanced combination therapy. The antitumor applications of Fenton- and Fenton-like reaction-based nanomaterials will be discussed in this review, including: (iþ) producing abundant ROS in-situ to kill cancer cells directly, (ii) enhancing therapeutic efficiency indirectly by Fenton reaction-mediated combination therapy, (iii) diagnosis and monitoring of cancer therapy. These strategies exhibit the potential of CDT-based nanomaterials for efficient cancer therapy.

Abstract
An ultrasound responsive erythrocyte membrane-derived hybrid nanovesicle drug delivery system (DOX/HMME@FA-NL) is constructed by the membrane fusion functionalization strategy for controlled drug release and enhanced tumor therapy. The reliability and effectiveness of the membrane fusion strategy are confirmed through characterization of the particle size and zeta potential, Förster energy resonance transfer and fluorescence co-localization analyses. The DOX/HMME@FA-NL could be triggered for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under ultrasound stimulation. And the unsaturated phospholipids in DOX/HMME@FA-NL can be oxidized by ROS, leading to the destruction of the structure of the hybrid membrane to achieve the controlled release of drugs, thereby enhancing their tumor cell killing effect. Besides, the linkage of the folate targeting group also enhances the tumor targeting ability of DOX/HMME@FA-NL. H22 tumor-bearing mice were intravenously injected with DOX/HMME@FA-NL and treated with ultrasound, they achieved better than expected tumor sonodynamic response treatment effects.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies, and multidrug resistance (MDR) severely restricts the effectiveness of various anticancer drugs. Therefore, the development of novel anticancer drugs for the treatment of CRC patients with MDR is necessary. Quaternized thiourea main-chain polymer (QTMP) is a self-assembled nanoparticle with good water solubility. Notably, QTMP is not a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate, and it exhibits potent cytotoxic activity against CRC cells, including HCT116/DDP and P-gp-mediated multidrug-resistant Caco2 cells. QTMP also exhibits a strong anticancer activity against SW480 cells in vivo. Interestingly, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) production were increased in a concentration-dependent manner in QTMP-treated HCT116, SW480 and Caco2 cells. Importantly, QTMP causes DNA damage in these CRC cells via direct insertion into the DNA or regulation of ROS and/or RNS production. QTMP also induces caspase-dependent apoptosis via overproduction of ROS and RNS. Therefore, QTMP is a promising anticancer therapeutic agent for patients with CRC, including those cancer cells with P-gp-mediated MDR. The present study also indicates that the design and synthesis of anticancer drugs based on thiourea polymers is promising and valuable, thereby offering a new strategy to address MDR, and provides reference resources for further investigations of thiourea polymers.

Abstract
Cancer cells frequently exhibit resistance to various molecular and nanoscale drugs, which inevitably affects the drugs' therapeutic outcomes. Overexpression of glutathione (GSH) has been observed in many cancer cells, and solid evidence has corroborated the resulting tumor resistance to a variety of anticancer therapies, suggesting that this biochemical characteristic of cancer cells can be developed as a potential target for cancer treatments. The single treatment of GSH-depleting agents can potentiate the responses of the cancer cells to different cell death stimuli; therefore, as an adjunctive strategy, GSH depletion is usually combined with mainstream cancer therapies for enhancing the therapeutic outcomes. Propelled by the rapid development of nanotechnology, GSH-depleting agents can be readily constructed into anticancer nanomedicines, which have shown a steep rise over the past decade. Here, we review the common GSH-depleting nanomedicines which have been widely applied in synergistic cancer treatments in recent years. Some current challenges and future perspectives for GSH depletion-based cancer therapies are also presented. With the understanding of the structure-property relationship and action mechanisms of these biomaterials, we hope that the GSH-depleting nanotechnology will be further developed to realize more effective disease treatments and even achieve successful clinical translations.

Abstract
Methods Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoclusters (SPIOCs) were located within the core, which resulted in high photothermal conversion and outstanding generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The shell consisted of a human serum albumin- (HSA-) paclitaxel (PTX) layer, which extended the blood circulation time and ensured the effectiveness of the chemotherapy. Arg-Gly-Asp peptides (RGD) were linked to the naked cysteine moieties in HSA to promote the specific targeting of human glioma U87 cells by αvβ3 integrins. Continuous near-infrared light irradiation triggered and promoted the synergistic chemo/CDT therapy through the photothermal effect. Results Our SPIOCs@HSA-RGD nanoplatform showed well biocompatibility and could target glioma specifically. Photothermal conversion and ROS burst were detected after continuous 808 nm light irradiation, and a significant antitumor effect was achieved. Conclusion Experimental in vitro and in vivo evaluations showed that our photothermal-mediated chemo/CDT therapy could efficiently inhibit tumor growth and is therefore promising for cancer therapy.
