J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 657:619-631. [PMID: 38071811 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.12.006] [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: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/02/2024]
Abstract
The reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced through the Fenton reaction, induces lipid peroxide (LPO), causing cellular structural damage and ultimately triggering ferroptosis. However, the generation of ROS in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is limited by the catalytic efficiency of the Fenton reaction. Herein, a novel hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticle (HMSN) combined with multi-metal sulfide-doped mesoporous silica nanocatalyzers (NCs) was developed, namely MxSy-HMSN NCs (M represents Cu Mn and Fe, S denotes sulfur). The MxSy-HMSN can dramatically enhanced the ferroptosis by: (1) facilitating the conversion of H2O2 to ·OH through Fenton or Fenton-like reactions through co-catalysis; (2) weakening ROS scavenging systems by depleting the over expressed glutathione (GSH) in TME; (3) providing exceptional photothermal therapy to augment ferroptosis. The MxSy-HMSN can also act as smart cargos for anticancer drug-doxorubicin (DOX). The release of DOX is responsive to GSH/pH/Near-infrared Light (NIR) irradiation at the tumor lesion, significantly improving therapeutic outcomes while minimizing side effects. Additionally, the MxSy-HMSN has demonstrated excellent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) potential. This smart MxSy-HMSN offer a synergetic approach combining ferroptosis with chemo-photothermal therapy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnose, which could be an informative guideline for the design of future NCs.

Abstract
Recently nanoparticle-based platforms have gained interest as drug delivery systems and diagnostic agents, especially in cancer therapy. With their ability to provide preferential accumulation at target sites, nanocarrier-constructed antitumor drugs can improve therapeutic efficiency and bioavailability. In contrast, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received increasing academic interest as an outstanding class of coordination polymers that combine porous structures with high drug loading via temperature modulation and ligand interactions, overcoming the drawbacks of conventional drug carriers. FeIII-based MOFs are one of many with high biocompatibility and good drug loading capacity, as well as unique Fenton reactivity and superparamagnetism, making them highly promising in chemodynamic and photothermal therapy, and magnetic resonance imaging. Given this, this article summarizes the applications of FeIII-based MOFs in three significant fields: chemodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy and MRI, suggesting a logical route to new strategies. This article concludes by summarising the primary challenges and development prospects in these promising research areas.

Abstract
Recently, the combination of chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has become a desirable strategy in the treatment of cancer. However, a satisfactory therapeutic outcome is often difficult to achieve due to the deficiency of endogenous H2O2 and O2 in the tumor microenvironment. In this study, a CaO2@DOX@Cu/ZIF-8 nanocomposite was prepared as a novel nanocatalytic platform to enable the combination of chemotherapy and CDT in cancer cells. The anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was loaded onto calcium peroxide (CaO2) nanoparticles (NPs) to form CaO2@DOX, which was then encapsulated in a copper zeolitic imidazole ester MOF (Cu/ZIF-8) to form CaO2@DOX@Cu/ZIF-8 NPs. In the mildly acidic tumor microenvironment, CaO2@DOX@Cu/ZIF-8 NPs rapidly disintegrated, releasing CaO2, which reacted with water to generate H2O2 and O2 in the tumor microenvironment. The ability of CaO2@DOX@Cu/ZIF-8 NPs to combine chemotherapy and CDT was assessed by conducting cytotoxicity, living dead staining, cellular uptakes, H&E staining, and TUNEL assays in vitro and in vivo. The combination of chemotherapy and CDT of CaO2@DOX@Cu/ZIF-8 NPs had a more favorable tumor suppression effect than the nanomaterial precursors, which were not capable of the combined chemotherapy/CDT.

Abstract
Imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) in a single nanoscale platform has aroused extensive research interest in precision medicine, yet only a few methods have gained wide acceptance. Thus, it remained an urgent need to facilely develop biocompatible and green probes with excellent theranostic capacity for superior biomedical applications. In this study, a smart chemical oxidative polymerization strategy was successfully developed for the synthesis of Au@PPy core-shell nanoparticles with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the hydrophile. In the reaction, the reactant tetrachloroauric acid (HAuCl4) was reduced by pyrrole to fabricate a gold (Au) core, and pyrrole was oxidized to deposit around the Au core to form a polypyrrole (PPy) shell. The as-synthesized Au@PPy nanoparticles showed a regular core-shell morphology and good colloidal stability. Relying on the high X-ray attenuation of Au and strong near-infrared (NIR) absorbance of PPy and Au, Au@PPy nanoparticles exhibited excellent performance in blood pool/tumor imaging and PTT treatment by a series of in vivo experiments, in which tumor could be precisely positioned and thoroughly eradicated. Hence, the facile chemical oxidative polymerization strategy for constructing monodisperse Au@PPy core-shell nanoparticles with potential for cancer diagnosis and imaging-guided photothermal therapy shed light on an innovative design concept for the facile fabrication of biomedical materials.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) responsive chemodynamic therapy (CDT) showed an important application in inhibiting tumor growth by producing the highly toxic hydroxyl radical (·OH), but insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and overexpressed glutathione (GSH) limited its application. Herein, by integrating photothermal therapy (PTT) and CDT, a new kind of mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA)-based cascade-reaction nanoplatform (MPDA@AuNPs-Cu) was designed for enhanced antitumor therapy, in which ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with glucose oxidase (GOx)-like activity were deposited on MPDA for providing H2O2, and Cu2+ was chelated for GSH-responsive Fenton-like reaction. It was demonstrated that the MPDA@AuNPs-Cu nanoprobe showed high photothermal conversion efficiency and excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, the MPDA@AuNPs-Cu nanoprobe exhibited strong ·OH generation because of H2O2 self-generation and photothermal stimulation. Importantly, compared with MPDA-Cu, MPDA@AuNPs-Cu exhibited enhanced in vitro and in vivo CDT/PTT performance, by which the tumor growth was completely inhibited, achieving TME-responsive antitumor efficacy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Inorganic nanocomposites especially Au nanostructures have exhibited outstanding physicochemical properties in biomedical fields. For further clinical applications on theranostics, especially drug delivery, numerous explorations of green and facile synthesis methods combining with pharmacoactive natural components have been investigated to construct safe and multifunctional bioactive Au nanoparticles (NPs). Ginsenoside Rh2 is protopanaxadiol type compound isolated from plants of genus Panax, with excellent anticancer effect and antioxidant activity. In this research, we prepared the novel Au nanoparticles using ginsenoside Rh2 as both reducing and stabilizing agents.
Results
The synthesized Au@ginsenoside Rh2 NPs were proved to exhibit desirable inhibitory effect on different cancer cell lines, which benefited from the inherent anticancer effect of the ginsenoside Rh2. Investigations in vitro indicated that Au@ginsenoside Rh2 NPs inhibited cell proliferation, cell migration and invasion, induced cell cycle arrest, enhanced the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and regulated the protein expressions of caspase-3, 8, 9 to trigger cell apoptosis as well.
Conclusions
Because of the absence of toxic chemical surfactants, the eco-friendly synthesis method of Au NPs modified by natural phytochemicals avoided tedious separation and modification processes. On the other hand, Au@ginsenoside Rh2 NPs also improved water solubility and bioavailability of the hydrophobic drug ginsenoside Rh2. It broadened minds for preparation and application of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) modified metal nanoparticles and deserved further study.

Abstract
Over the past decade, iron (Fe)-based hollow nanoplatforms (Fe-HNPs) have attracted increasing attention for cancer theranostics, due to their high safety and superior diagnostic/therapeutic features. Specifically, Fe-involved components can serve as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) and Fenton-like/photothermal/magnetic hyperthermia (MTH) therapy agents, while the cavities are able to load various small molecules (e.g., fluorescent dyes, chemotherapeutic drugs, photosensitizers, etc.) to allow multifunctional all-in-one theranostics. In this review, the recent advances of Fe-HNPs for cancer imaging and treatment are summarized. Firstly, the use of Fe-HNPs in single T1-weighted MRI and T2-weighted MRI, T1-/T2-weighted dual-modal MRI as well as other dual-modal imaging modalities are presented. Secondly, diverse Fe-HNPs, including hollow iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles (NPs), hollow matrix-supported IO NPs, hollow Fe-complex NPs and hollow Prussian blue (PB) NPs are described for MRI-guided therapies. Lastly, the potential clinical obstacles and implications for future research of these hollow Fe-based nanotheranostics are discussed.

Abstract
The pursuit of mesoporous Fe-based nanoagents addresses the field of developing alternative Fe-bearing nanoagents for synergistic cancer therapy with the expectation that the use of an essential element may avoid the issues raised by the exogenous administration of other metal element-based nanoagents. Herein, we highlight the interface-engineered mesoporous FeB (mFeB) where the core mFeB is interfacially oxidized into an FeOOH nanosheet loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) and further encapsuled within the double-sulfide-bonded SiO2 outer layer, denoted as mFeB@DOX-ss-SiO2, which can realize programmed drug release for synergistic cancer theranostics. When only in a tumor microenvironment, the nanoagent can be activated to release DOX from the mFeB and FeOOH nanosheets as well as expose the easily oxidized mFeB to spontaneously transform to FeOOH nanosheets with Fenton activity to facilitate chemodynamic therapy (CDT). In addition, the high photothermal conversion efficiency of mFeB@DOX-ss-SiO2 would promote CDT. Also, owing to the inherent nature of ferromagnetism and red fluorescence of DOX, mFeB@DOX-ss-SiO2 can realize T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescence imaging. In vivo mouse model experiments demonstrate that mFeB@DOX-ss-SiO2 with good biocompatibility realizing CDT/photothermal therapy/chemotherapy achieved complete tumor suppression. This study opens up a new way to explore theranostic nanoagents.

Abstract
A novel nanoplatform that supports multimodal imaging has been designed for deep tumor therapy. In this study, Bi2Se3@Cu2-xSe heterojunction nanocomposites with tunable spectral absorption, effective electron-hole separation and high photothermal conversion efficiency were prepared for the combination therapy of phototherapy (PT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and radiotherapy (RT). By adjusting the doping ratio, the heterojunction nanoparticles show obvious tunable ability of local surface plasmon resonance and the ability to promote electron-hole separation with significantly enhanced reactive oxygen species production capacity. The band structure and charge density difference calculated by density functional theory further reveal that the change of band gap and the decrease of free carriers can regulate the spectral absorption of nanomaterials and promote electron-hole separation. In addition, the photothermal conversion properties of low carrier density semiconductors are related to their inherent deep level defects. The formation of heterojunctions making the Se atoms deviate from the Bi2Se3 lattice, resulting in more deep level defects and stronger photothermal conversion properties. Meanwhile, this nanoplatform presented features similar to catalase activities and glutathione (GSH) consumption characteristics, which was capable of effectively alleviate the tumor-specific hypoxia environment to enhance the efficacy of O2-dependent photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy (RT) and depletion GSH to prevent the reduction of therapeutic efficacy due to the clearance of reactive oxygen species. In addition to therapeutic enhancement, heterojunction nanomaterials have excellent nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), infrared thermal imaging (IR) and computed tomography (CT) properties due to their significant paramagnetism and excellent photothermal conversion and X-ray attenuation capacities. In conclusion, our findings provide a new strategy for designing multi-function and efficient nanoplatform to treat tumor.

Abstract
Emerging noninvasive treatments, such as sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), have developed as promising alternatives or supplements to traditional chemotherapy. However, their therapeutic effects are limited by the hypoxic environment of tumors. Here, a biodegradable nanocomposite-mesoporous zeolitic-imidazolate-framework@MnO2 /doxorubicin hydrochloride (mZMD) is developed, which achieves enhanced SDT/CDT/chemotherapy through promoting oxidative stress and overcoming the multidrug resistance. The mZMD decomposes under both ultrasound (US) irradiation and specific reactions in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The mZM composite structure reduces the recombination rate of e- and h+ to improve SDT. MnO2 not only oxidizes glutathione in tumor cells to enhance oxidative stress, but also converts the endogenic H2 O2 into O2 to improve the hypoxic TME, which enhances the effects of chemotherapy/SDT. Meanwhile, the generated Mn2+ catalyzes the endogenic H2 O2 into ·OH for CDT, and acts as magnetic resonance imaging agent to guide therapy. In addition, dissociated Zn2+ further breaks the redox balance of TME, and co-inhibits the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) with generated ROS to overcome drug resistance. Thus, the as-prepared intelligent biodegradable mZMD provides an innovative strategy to enhance SDT/CDT/chemotherapy.

A biodegradable "Nano-donut" for magnetic resonance imaging and enhanced chemo/photothermal/chemodynamic therapy through responsive catalysis in tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is a safe photothermal agent for tumor therapy, yet poor photothermal effect and single therapeutic function severely restrict its further clinical applications. Herein, a biodegradable "Nano-donut" (CMPB-MoS2-PEG) is fabricated for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT)/ chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/chemotherapy through responsive catalysis in tumor microenvironment (TME). The "Nano-donut" is organically composed of Cu/Mn ions doped-PB and MoS2. The porous donut structure of CMPB-MoS2-PEG endows them as a carrier for delivery of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) to tumor site. The framework of Nano-donut specifically decomposes in TME due to the reaction between Fe2+/Fe3+ and H2O2. The multivalent elements (Cu/Fe/Mn ions) decrease the bandgap and then enhance CDT by synergistically catalyzing H2O2 into toxic ·OH. Meanwhile, the Mn4+ also reacts with H2O2 to generate O2, improving the hypoxia of TME and enhancing the chemotherapy effect of released DOX. The MoS2 mingles in the PB, which significantly enhances photothermal conversion efficiency (η) effect of PB from 16.02% to 38.0%. In addition, Fe3+ as T2-weighted MR imaging agent can achieve MR imaging-guided therapy. The data clearly shows Nano-donut/DOX nanocomposites (NCs) have a remarkable inhibition for cancer cells and excellent biological safety in tumor treatment.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging approach to treat cancer based on the tumor microenvironment (TME), but its limited content of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) weakens the anticancer effects. Herein, a multifunctional biomimetic nanozyme (Se@SiO2-Mn@Au/DOX, named as SSMA/DOX) is fabricated, which undergoes TME responsive self-cascade catalysis to facilitate MRI guided enhanced chemo/chemodynamic therapy. The SSMA/DOX nanocomposites (NCs) responsively degrade in acidic conditions of tumor to release Se, DOX, Au and Mn2+. Mn2+ not only enables MRI to guided therapy, but also catalyzes the endogenous H2O2 into hydroxyl radical (˙OH) for CDT. In addition, the Au NPs continuously catalyze glucose to generate H2O2, enhancing CDT by supplementing a sufficiently reactive material and cutting off the energy supply of the tumor by consuming glucose. Simultaneously, Se enhances the chemotherapy of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and CDT by upregulating ROS in the tumor cells, achieving remarkable inhibition effect towards tumor. Moreover, SSMA/DOX NCs have good biocompatibility and degradability, which avoid long-term toxicity and side effects. Overall, the degradable SSMA/DOX NCs provide an innovative strategy for tumor microenvironment responsive self-cascade catalysis to enhance tumor therapy.

Abstract
Recently, drug delivery vehicles based on nanotechnology have significantly attracted the attention of researchers in the field of nanomedicine since they can achieve ideal drug release and biodistribution. Among the various organic or inorganic materials that used to prepare drug delivery vehicles for effective cancer treatment, serum albumin-based nanovehicles have been widely developed and investigated due to their prominent superiorities, including good biocompatibility, high stability, nontoxicity, non-immunogenicity, easy preparation, and functionalization, allowing them to be promising candidates for cancer diagnosis and therapy. This article reviews the recent advances on the applications of serum albumin-based nanovehicles in cancer diagnosis and therapy. We first introduce the essential information of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA), and discuss their drug loading strategies. We then discuss the different types of serum albumin-based nanovehicles including albumin nanoparticles, surface-functionalized albumin nanoparticles, and albumin nanocomplexes. Moreover, after briefly discussing the application of serum albumin-based nanovehicles used as the nanoprobes in cancer diagnosis, we also describe the serum albumin-based nanovehicle-assisted cancer theranostics, involving gas therapy, chemodynamic therapy (CDT), phototherapy (PTT/PDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), and other therapies as well as cancer imaging. Numerous studies cited in our review show that serum albumin-based nanovehicles possess a great potential in cancer diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has aroused extensive attention for conquering cancers because of its high specificity and low invasiveness. Quick generation of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) during CDT could induce more irreparable damage to cancer cells. The generation rate of ·OH could be magnified via the selection of suitable nanocatalysts or under the assistance of exogenous thermal energy from photothermal therapy (PTT). Here, we construct a kind of monodisperse core-shell Au@Cu2-xSe heterogeneous metal nanoparticles (NPs) for PTT boosted CDT synergistic therapy. Due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) coupling effect in the core-shell structure, the photothermal conversion efficiency of Au@Cu2-xSe NPs is up to 56.6%. The in situ generated heat from photothermal can then accelerate the Fenton-like reaction at Cu+ sites to produce abundant ·OH, which will induce apoptotic cell death by attacking DNA, contributing to a heat-boosted CDT. Both in vitro and in vivo results showed that after this synergistic therapy, tumors could be remarkably suppressed. Guided by photoacoustic (PA) and computed tomography (CT) imaging, the therapeutic effects were more specified. Our results revealed that PA and CT dual-imaging-guided PTT boosted CDT synergistic therapy based on core-shell Au@Cu2-xSe NPs is an effective cancer treatment strategy. ![]()

Abstract
The elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by glutathione (GSH) is a fundamental concern in the oxidative stress therapy (OST) of tumors. This is the first report of copper phosphate nanospheres coated by poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (Cu3(PO4)2@PEGDA) which act as nanozymes to amplify the anti-tumor effects of OST. Cu3(PO4)2@PEGDA not only catalyzes the generation of ˙OH from H2O2 but also consumes GSH, which is counterproductive to the role of ˙OH. Moreover, the photothermal properties of Cu3(PO4)2@PEGDA further enhances the outcome of the OST when exposed to an 808 nm laser. Another novelty lies in that a new PEGylation strategy of peroxidase-like nanozymes is proposed, in which the Cu3(PO4)2 cores work as internal heaters and radical generators, which are necessary to initiate the radical polymerization of PEGDA. An elaborate core-shell nanostructure is obtained since the polymerization prefers to take place in the vicinity of the cores, overcoming the drawbacks of traditional PEGylation methods which include invalid polymerization far away from the cores and easy core-shell disassembly during applications.

Abstract
Combined photothermal therapy/chemotherapy by co-delivery of a photosensitizer (PS) and a chemotherapeutic drug has demonstrated great potential for cancer treatment. The intrinsic drawbacks of traditional drug delivery systems (DDSs), such as tedious synthetic procedures, side effects originated from the carrier materials, low loading efficiency, and uncontrolled drug release, however, have impaired their further advancement. On the other hand, enediyne antibiotics are highly cytotoxic toward cancer cells through the generation of lethal carbon radicals via thermal-induced cyclization, endowing them with great potential to achieve enhanced synergistic anticancer performance by incorporation with the photothermal effect of PS. To this end, a carrier-free and NIR/acid dual-responsive DDS was constructed for combined photothermal therapy/chemotherapy. The facile co-assembly of maleimide-based enediyne and PS IR820 was achieved in aqueous solution to give nanoparticles (EICN) with a hydrodynamic diameter of 90 nm and high stability. In vitro study confirmed the acid/NIR dual-responsive degradation and drug release, free radical generation and DNA-cleaving ability of EICN, which was accomplished by the corporation of enediyne and IR820 moieties. Further tests on HeLa cells verified the excellent synergistic anticancer performance of EICN including the improved cellular uptake, NIR-enhanced drug release, DNA damage and histone deacetylase inhibitor capacity. Overall, this carrier-free DDS with dual acid/NIR-responsivity would potentially provide new insights for the development of combined photothermal/chemotherapy.

Herein, a biocompatible and powerful theranostic agent (Bi@mSiO2@MnO2/DOX) is fabricated using a facile stepwise reaction method. The Bi nanoparticles (NPs) are coated by mesoporous silica to protect the Bi NPs from oxidation, which guarantees the stable photothermal effect of the Bi NPs. When the Bi@mSiO2@MnO2/DOX nanocomposites (NCs) accumulate in the tumour site, hyperthermia is generated by Bi NPs under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation for photothermal therapy (PTT), and the generated heat triggers the release of DOX for chemotherapy in the tumour. In addition, the MnO2 of the NCs responsively catalyses endogenous H2O2 to generate O2, raising the oxygen level to enhance the effect of chemotherapy in the tumour microenvironment (TME), and consumes glutathione (GSH) to produce Mn2+ for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Under acidic TME conditions, H2O2 and Mn2+ also produce toxic hydroxyl radical (·OH) for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Furthermore, the Bi NPs can also be used as excellent contrast agents for X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging of tumours with a high CT value (6.865 HU mM-1). The Bi@mSiO2@MnO2/DOX NCs exhibit a powerful theranostic performance for CT/MR imaging-guided enhanced PTT/CDT/chemotherapy, which opens a new prospect to rationally design theranostic agents for tumour imaging.

Responsive Degradable Theranostic Agents Enable Controlled Selenium Delivery to Enhance Photothermal Radiotherapy and Reduce Side Effects. Adv Healthc Mater 2021; 10:e2002024. [PMID: 33645002 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202002024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2020] [Revised: 01/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) is a popular clinical therapy method for extending cancer patient survival, but is hampered by severe side effects and the weak therapy effect. Herein, responsive degradable selenium (Se) theranostic agents (Se@SiO2 @Bi nanocomposites (NCs)) are fabricated, which combine computed tomography (CT) imaging and simultaneously enhance the therapeutic effects of photothermal therapy (PTT) and RT, while reducing the side effects of radiation. The Se@SiO2 @Bi theranostic agents can accumulate at the tumor site, and responsively decompose to releease Se, avoiding systemic toxicity by the element. Se enhances the effect of PTT/RT, simultaneously reducing the side effects of RT. The Se@SiO2 @Bi NCs as CT agents also exhibit significantly enhanced contrast imaging performance due to the high atomic number of Bi. More importantly, the Se@SiO2 @Bi NCs can be rapidly excreted without long-term toxicity, owing to responsive degradation into ultrasmall particles (<5 nm) at the tumor site. In vitro and in vivo results show that the Se@SiO2 @Bi NCs can remarkably inhibit tumor cells, without causing appreciable toxicity during the treatment. This study opens a new perspective in rationally designing responsive degradable theranostic agents for future tumor therapy with enhanced therapeutic efficacy and lesser side effects.

Abstract
The effective colon drug delivery remains to be an international frontier research in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapy. The exploration and research of nanocarrier-based nanomedicine with great potential brings new opportunities for IBD therapy and diagnoses. Functional nanocarriers with varying morphology and characteristics can not only effectively avoid the destruction of the complex gastrointestinal (GI) tract microenvironment but also endow drugs with target therapy and improved bioavailability, thus elevating therapeutic efficacy. In this review, we illustrated several challenges in IBD therapy, then emphasis on some latest research progress of nanoparticles based therapy of oral administration, rectal administration and parenteral administration, as well as IBD diagnoses. Finally, we described the future perspective of nanocarriers in the treatment and diagnoses of IBD.

Abstract
Massive hemorrhage caused by the uncontrolled release of thrombolysis drugs is a key issue of thrombolysis therapy in clinical practice. In this study, we report a near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered drug delivery system, i.e., CuS@mSiO2-PEG (CSP) nanoparticles, for the loading of a thrombolytic drug (urokinase plasminogen activators, uPA). CSP nanoparticles with the CuS nanoparticles as photothermal agents and mesoporous SiO2 for the loading of uPA were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method. The CSP core-shell nanoparticles were demonstrated to possess excellent photothermal performance, exhibiting a photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 52.8%. Due to the mesoporous SiO2 coating, the CSP core-shell nanoparticles exhibited appropriate pore size, high pore volume, and large surface area; thus, they showed great potential to be used as drug carriers. Importantly, the release of uPA from CuS@mSiO2-PEG/uPA (CSPA) carriers can be promoted by the NIR laser irradiation. The drug loading content of uPA for the as-prepared NIR-triggered drug delivery system was calculated to be 8.2%, and the loading efficiency can be determined to be as high as 89.6%. Due to the excellent photothermal effect of CSP nanocarriers, the NIR-triggered drug delivery system can be used for infrared thermal imaging in vivo. The in vivo thrombolysis assessment demonstrated that the NIR-triggered drug delivery system showed excellent thrombolytic ability under the irradiation of an 808 nm laser, showing the combined therapy for thrombolysis. As far as we know, the CSPA core-shell nanoparticles used as NIR-triggered drug delivery systems for thrombolysis have not been reported.

JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2020; 213:112082. [PMID: 33221627 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2020.112082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2020] [Revised: 10/13/2020] [Accepted: 11/08/2020] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Multifunctional quantum dots (QDs) with photothermal therapy (PTT) potential loaded with an anticancer drug and labelled with a targeting agent can be highly effective nano-agents for tumour specific, image-guided PTT/chemo combination therapy of cancer. Ag-chalcogenides are promising QDs with good biocompatibility. Ag2S QDs are popular theranostic agents for imaging in near-infrared with PTT potential. However, theranostic applications of AgInS2 QDs emitting in the visible region and its PTT potential need to be explored. Here, we first present a simple synthesis of small, glutathione (GSH) coated AgInS2 QDs with peak emission at 634 nm, 21% quantum yield, and excellent long-term stability without an inorganic shell. Ag2S-GSH QDs emitting in the near-infrared region (peak emission = 822 nm) were also produced. Both QDs were tagged with folic acid (FA) and conjugated with methotrexate (MTX). About 3-fold higher internalization of FA-tagged QDs by folate-receptor (FR) overexpressing HeLa cells than HT29 and A549 cells was observed. Delivery of MTX by QD-FA-MTX reduced the IC50 of the drug from 10 μg/mL to 2.5-5 μg/mL. MTX release was triggered at acidic pH, which was further enhanced with local temperature increase created by laser irradiation. Irradiation of AgInS2-GSH QDs at 640 nm (300 mW) for 10 min, caused about 10 °C temperature increase but did not cause any thermal ablation of cells. On the other hand, Ag2S-GSH-FA based PTT effectively and selectively killed HeLa cells with 10 min 808 nm laser irradiation via mostly necrosis with an IC50 of 5 μg Ag/mL. Under the same conditions, IC50 of MTX was reduced to 0.21 μg/mL if Ag2S-GSH-FA.

Abstract
The gold nanostructure is regarded as the most promising photothermal agent due to its strong localized surface plasma resonance (LSPR) effect. In particular, the gold nanostructures with sharp spikes on the surface have higher optical signal enhancement, owing to the sharp tips drastically enhancing the intense nanoantenna effect. However, current approaches for the synthesis of spiky gold nanostructures are either costly, complicated, or uncontrollable. Herein, we report a novel strategy to synthesize gold nano-chestnuts (SGNCs) with sharp spikes as an excellent photothermal agent. The SGNCs were prepared by a facile one-pot interfacial synthetic method, and their controllable preparation mechanism was acquired. The SGNCs exhibited ideal full-spectrum absorption and showed excellent photothermal effect. They have a photothermal conversion efficiency (η) as high as 52.9%, which is much higher than traditional photothermal agents. The in vitro and in vivo results show that the SGNCs could efficiently ablate the tumor cells. Thus, the SGNCs have great potential in photothermal therapy applied in malignant tumors.
