J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 670:751-761. [PMID: 38788442 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.149] [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: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
NIR-IIa fluorescence imaging (FI) and NIR-II photothermal therapy (PTT) have gained popularity due to the advantages of high temporal and spatial resolution and deep penetration. However, the hyperthermia (>48 °C) of conventional PTT with nonspecific warming and thermal diffusion may inevitably cause damage to healthy tissues or organs surrounding the tumor. Therefore, it is highly desirable to provide effective cancer treatment by implementing mild photothermal therapy (mPTT) at mild temperatures with lower laser power density. Here, the nanotheranostic platform FN@P-GA NPs with NIR-II absorption and NIR-IIa emission was developed by constructing J-aggregates. FN@P-GA possesses good biocompatibility, favorable NIR-IIa FI performance, decent stability, and high photothermal conversion efficiency (57.6 %), which lays a solid foundation for FI-guided mPTT. Due to its ability to effectively down-regulate the expression of HSP90 and reduce cellular thermoresistance to kill cancer cells, FN@P-GA successfully achieved NIR-IIa FI-guided mPTT and demonstrated its potent anti-tumor effect under 1064 nm laser irradiation at mild temperature and low power density (0.3 W/cm2).

Abstract
Owing to the complexity of tumor treatment, clinical tumor treatment has evolved from a single treatment mode to multiple combined treatment modes. Reducing the tolerance of tumors to heat and the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs to the body, as well as increasing the sensitivity of tumors to photothermal therapy and chemotherapy drugs, are key issues that urgently need to be addressed in the current cancer treatment. In this work, polylactic acid-based drug nanoparticles (PLA@DOX/GA/ICG) were synthesized with good photothermal conversion ability by encapsulating the water-soluble anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX), photothermal conversion agent indocyanine green (ICG) and liposoluble drug gambogic acid (GA) using a double emulsion method. The preparation process of PLA@DOX/GA/ICG was examined. Gambogic acid entrapped in PLA@DOX/GA/ICG nanoparticles could act as an HSP90 protein inhibitor to achieve bidirectional sensitization to chemotherapy and photothermal therapy under 808 nm laser irradiation for the first time, effectively ablating breast cancer cells in vitro. This nanodrug was expected to be used for the efficient treatment of tumors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used for thousands of years in China, characterizing with novel pharmacological mechanisms, low toxicity, and limited side effects. However, the application of TCM active ingredients is often hindered by their physical and chemical properties, including poor solubility, low bioavailability, short half-life, toxic side effects within therapeutic doses, and instability in biological environments. Consequently, an increasing number of researchers are directing their attention towards the discovery of nano-delivery systems for TCM to overcome these clinical challenges. OBJECTIVES This review aims to provide the latest knowledge and results concerning the studies on the nano-delivery systems for the active ingredients from TCM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Recent literature relating to nano-delivery systems for the active ingredients from TCM is summarized to provide a fundamental understanding of how such systems can enhance the application of phytochemicals. RESULTS The nano-delivery systems of six types of TCM monomers are summarized and categorized based on the skeletal structure of the natural compounds. These categories include terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, quinones, polyphenols, and polysaccharides. The paper analyzes the characteristics, types, materials used, and the efficacy achieved by TCM-nano systems. Additionally, the advantages and disadvantages of nano-drug delivery systems for TCM are summarized in this paper. CONCLUSION Nano-delivery systems represent a promising approach to overcoming clinical obstacles stemming from the physical and chemical properties of TCM active ingredients, thereby enhancing their clinical efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy of bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) semiconductor has been severely restricted by its electron-hole pairs (e--h+) separation inefficiency and oxygen (O2) deficiency in tumors, which greatly hinders reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and further clinical application of Bi2S3 nanoparticles (NPs) in biomedicine. RESULTS Herein, novel Bi2S3/titanium carbide (Ti3C2) two-dimensional nano-heterostructures (NHs) are designed to realize multimode PDT of synchronous O2 self-supply and ROS generation combined with highly efficient photothermal tumor elimination for hypoxic tumor therapy. Bi2S3/Ti3C2 NHs were synthesized via the in situ synthesis method starting from Ti3C2 nanosheets (NSs), a classical type of MXene nanostructure. Compared to simple Bi2S3 NPs, Bi2S3/Ti3C2 NHs significantly extend the absorption to the near-infrared (NIR) region and enhance the photocatalytic activity owing to the improved photogenerated carrier separation, where the hole on the valence band (VB) of Bi2S3 can react with water to supply O2 for the electron on the Ti3C2 NSs to generate ·O2- and ·OH through electron transfer. Furthermore, they also achieve 1O2 generation through energy transfer due to O2 self-supply. After the modification of triphenylphosphium bromide (TPP) on Bi2S3/Ti3C2 NHs, systematic in vitro and in vivo evaluations were conducted, revealing that the synergistic-therapeutic outcome of this nanoplatform enables complete eradication of the U251 tumors without recurrence by NIR laser irradiation, and it can be used for computed tomography (CT) imaging because of the strong X-ray attenuation ability. CONCLUSION This work expands the phototherapeutic effect of Bi2S3-based nanoplatforms, providing a new strategy for hypoxic tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Asymmetric carbon has emerged as an important material to enrich morphologies as well as enhance functions for bioapplications. Here, asymmetric mesoporous carbon hemispheres (CHS) integrated with γ-Fe2O3 and GdPO4 (Fe-Gd) nanoparticles are proposed and prepared for potential imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT). Interestingly, Fe-Gd/CHS contributes to an almost 1.5 times enhancement in light harvesting and photothermal conversion efficiency as compared with its corresponding spherical analogue. The possible underlying mechanism is discussed in view of the unique asymmetric structure-featured carbon. Further identification of the inherited photoacoustic (PA) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging properties leads to the consequent in vivo evaluation of its imaging and PTT performances, which demonstrates its capability as a function-integrated system for potential theranostics.

Abstract
The previous phytochemical analyses of Garcinia hanburyi revealed that the main structural characteristic associated with its biological activity is the caged polyprenylated xanthones with a unique 4-oxatricyclo [4.3.1.03,7] dec-2-one scaffold, which contains a highly substituted tetrahydrofuran ring with three quaternary carbons. Based on the progress in research of the chemical constituents, pharmacological effects and modification methods of the caged polyprenylated xanthones, this paper presents a preliminary predictive analysis of their drug-like properties based on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADME/T) properties. It was found out that these compounds have very similar pharmacokinetic properties because they possess the same caged xanthone structure, the 9,10-double bond in a,b-unsaturated ketones are critical for the antitumor activity. The author believes that there is an urgent need to seek new breakthroughs in the study of these caged polyprenylated xanthones. Thus, the research on the route of administration, therapeutic effect, structural modification and development of such active ingredients is of great interest. It is hoped that this paper will provide ideas for researchers to develop and utilize the active ingredients derived from natural products.

Abstract
Tumor drug resistance caused by the tumor microenvironment is an extremely difficult problem for researchers to solve. Nanoplatforms that integrate diagnosis and treatment have great advantages in tumor treatment, but the design and synthesis of simple and efficient nanoplatforms still face tremendous challenges. In this study, a novel Mn/Au@ir820/GA-CD133 nanoprobe was developed. The manganese dioxide/gold particles were prepared by coprecipitation/assembly, chemically coupled with CD133 antibody, and finally loaded with the photosensitive drug IR820 and the heat shock protein inhibitor Ganetespib. The nanoprobe demonstrated good tumor-targeting ability, increased the level of singlet oxygen produced from laser irradiation by effectively alleviating tumor hypoxia, and decreased the threshold of heat tolerance by downregulating the expression of HSP90 in tumor tissues. This nanoprobe successfully inhibited the growth and progression of tumor tissues in a tumor-bearing mouse model by improving the effectiveness of photodynamic and low-temperature photothermal combination therapy.

Abstract
Introduction Sentinel lymph node (SLN) is the first regional lymph node where tumor cells metastasize, and its identification and treatment are of great significance for the prevention of tumor metastasis. However, the current clinical modalities for identification and treatment of SLN are still far from satisfactory owing to their high cost, invasiveness and low accuracy. We aim to design a novel nanomedicine system for SLN imaging and treatment with high efficacy. Methods We designed and prepared hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (HMCS) and loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX), which is then modified with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) to obtain nanomedicine: HMCS-PVP-DOX. Results HMCS-PVP with a size of about 150 nm could retain in the lymph nodes for a long time and stain the lymph nodes, which could be easily observed by the naked eye. At the same time, HMCS-PVP exhibited excellent photoacoustic and photothermal imaging capabilities, realizing multimodal imaging to locate lymph nodes precisely. Due to its high specific surface area, HMCS could be largely loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX). HMCS-PVP-DOX displayed highly efficient synergistic chemotherapy-photothermal therapy for lymphatic metastases in both cellular and animal experiments due to its significant photothermal effect under 1064 nm laser irradiation. HMCS-PVP-DOX also displayed great stability and biosafety. Discussion Multifunctional nanomedicine HMCS-PVP-DOX is expected to provide a novel paradigm for designing nanomedicine to the diagnosis and treatment of lymphatic metastases because of its good stability and safety.

Abstract
Collateral damage to healthy tissue, uneven heat distribution, inflammatory diseases, and tumor metastasis induction hinder the translation of high-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) from bench to practical clinical applications. In this report, a multifunctional gold nanorod (GNR)-based nanosystem was designed by attaching siRNA against B7-H3 (B7-H3si), glucose oxidase (GOx), and hyaluronic acid (HA) for efficient low-temperature PTT. Herein, GOx can not only exhaust glucose to induce starvation therapy but also reduce the heat shock protein (HSP), realizing the ablation of tumors without damage to healthy tissues. Evidence shows that B7-H3, a type I transmembrane glycoprotein molecule, plays essential roles in growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. By initiating the downregulation of B7-H3 by siRNA, siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs may promote the effectiveness of treatment. By targeting cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) and depleting B7-H3 and HSPs sequentially, siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs showed 12.9-fold higher lung distribution than siRNA-GOx/GNR NPs. Furthermore, 50% of A549-bearing mice in the siRNA-GOx/GNR NPs group survived over 50 days. Overall, this low-temperature phototherapeutic nanosystem provides an appropriate strategy for eliminating cancer with high treatment effectiveness and minimal systemic toxicity. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To realize efficient tumor ablation under mild low-temperature (42-45 ℃) and RNA interference simultaneously, here we developed a multifunctional gold nanorod (GNR)-based nanosystem (siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs). This nanoplatform can significantly inhibit tumor cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis by downregulation of HSP90α, HSP70, B7-H3, p-AKT, and p-ERK and upregulation of cleaved caspase-9 at mild low-temperature due to its superior tumor homing ability and the combined effect of photothermal effect, glucose deprivation-initiated tumor starvation, and B7-H3 gene silence effect. It is believed that this multifunctional low-temperature photothermal nanosystem with efficient and specific anticancer properties, shows a potential application in clinical tumor treatment.

Abstract
With the booming development of nanomedicine, mild photothermal therapy (mPTT, 42-45°C) has exhibited promising potential in tumor therapy. Compared with traditional PTT (>50°C), mPTT has less side effects and better biological effects conducive to tumor treatment, such as loosening the dense structure in tumor tissues, enhancing blood perfusion, and improving the immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, such a relatively low temperature cannot allow mPTT to completely eradicate tumors, and therefore, substantial efforts have been conducted to optimize the application of mPTT in tumor therapy. This review extensively summarizes the latest advances of mPTT, including two sections: (1) taking mPTT as a leading role to maximize its effect by blocking the cell defense mechanisms, and (2) regarding mPTT as a supporting role to assist other therapies to achieve synergistic antitumor curative effect. Meanwhile, the special characteristics and imaging capabilities of nanoplatforms applied in various therapies are discussed. At last, this paper puts forward the bottlenecks and challenges in the current research path of mPTT, and possible solutions and research directions in future are proposed correspondingly.

Abstract
With the continuous development of nanobiotechnology in recent years, combining photothermal materials with nanotechnology for tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) has drawn many attentions nanomedicine research. Although nanomaterial-mediated PTT is more specific and targeted than traditional treatment modalities, hyperthermia can also damage normal cells. Therefore, researchers have proposed the concept of low-temperature PTT, in which the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) is inhibited. In this article, the research strategies proposed in recent years based on the inhibition of HSPs expression to achieve low-temperature PTT was reviewed. Folowing this, the synthesis, properties, and applications of these nanomaterials were introduced. In addition, we also summarized the problems of nanomaterial-mediated low-temperature PTT at this stage and provided an outlook on future research directions.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a nonionizing, noninvasive imaging technique that combines optical and ultrasonic imaging modalities to provide images with excellent contrast, spatial resolution, and penetration depth. Exogenous PA contrast agents are created to increase the sensitivity and specificity of PA imaging and to offer diagnostic information for illnesses. The existing PA contrast agents are categorized into two groups in this review: "always-on" and "turn-on," based on their ability to be triggered by target molecules. The present state of these probes, their merits and limitations, and their future development, is explored.

Abstract
Organic near-infrared fluorescent dye mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) suffer from heat shock response, since, heat shock proteins (HSPs) are overexpressed and can repair the proteins damaged by PTT and PDT. Starvation therapy by glucose oxide (GOx) can inhibit the heat shock response by limiting the energy supply. However, the delivery of sufficient and active GOx remains a challenge. To solve this problem, we utilize liposomes as drug carriers and prepare GOx loaded liposome (GOx@Lipo) with a high drug loading content (12.0%) and high enzymatic activity. The successful delivery of GOx shows excellent inhibition of HSPs and enhances PTT and PDT. Additionally, we apply the same liposome formulation to load near-infrared dye 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindotricarbo cyanine iodide (DiR) and prepare DiR contained liposomes (DiR@Lipo) for PTT and PDT. The liposomal formulation substantially enhances the PTT and PDT properties of DiR as well as the cellular uptake and tumor accumulation. Finally, the combination therapy shows excellent tumor inhibition on 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. Interestingly, we also find that the starvation therapy can efficiently inhibit tumor metastasis, which is probably due to the immunogenic effect. Our work presents a biocompatible and effective carrier for the combination of starvation therapy and phototherapy, emphasizing the importance of auxiliary starvation therapy against tumor metastasis and offering important guidance for clinical PTT and PDT.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme) systems have shown great potential in tumor therapy. A multifunctional SAzyme not only possesses high catalytic activity but also can be used as photothermal agents in photothermal therapy (PTT). Furthermore, it is also imperative to overcome tumor thermal resistance in SAzyme-based PTT so that PTT under a mild temperature is achievable. Herein, a novel platelet membrane (PM)-coated mesoporous Fe single-atom nanozyme (Fe-SAzyme) was formulated to solve these issues. The PM-coated mesoporous Fe-SAzyme (PMS) showed a satisfactory NIR-II photothermal performance, high peroxidase (POD) activity, and good tumor-targeting ability. In addition, PMS may be used as a carrier for protein drugs owing to its inner mesoporous structure. In vitro experiments showed that PMS could inhibit the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) by damaging the mitochondria, thereby finally improving the effect of mild-temperature PTT. Moreover, in vivo results showed that PMS could efficiently accumulate in tumor sites and suppress tumor growth with minimal toxicity in major organs. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first report of a biomimetic mesoporous Fe-SAzyme used to achieve mitochondrial damage-mediated mild-temperature PTT. The study provides new promising ideas for designing other SAzyme systems for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Administrating pharmaceutic agents efficiently to achieve the therapeutic effect is the aim of all drug delivery techniques. Recent drug delivery systems aim to deliver high doses of drugs to disease sites accurately while maximizing therapeutic effects and minimizing potential side effects. Key approaches apply image guidance techniques for the quantification of drug biodistribution and pharmacokinetic parameters during drug delivery. This review highlights recent research on image-guided drug delivery systems based on photoacoustic imaging, which has been attracting attention for its non-invasiveness, non-ionizing radiation, and real-time imaging functions. Photoacoustic imaging based on the photothermal conversion efficiency of agents can be easily combined with various phototherapeutics, making them highly suitable for drug delivery therapy platforms. Here, we summarize and compare the characteristics of various types of photoacoustic imaging systems, focus on contrast-enhanced photoacoustic imaging and controlled release of therapeutics in drug delivery systems for synergistic therapies.

Abstract
The development of new effective cancer treatment methods has attracted much attention, mainly due to the limited efficacy and considerable side effects of currently used cancer treatment methods such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Photothermal therapy based on the use of plasmonically resonant metallic nanoparticles has emerged as a promising technique to eradicate cancer cells selectively. In this method, plasmonic nanoparticles are first preferentially uptaken by a tumor and then selectively heated by exposure to laser radiation with a specific plasmonic resonant wavelength, to destroy the tumor whilst minimizing damage to adjacent normal tissue. However, several parameters can limit the effectiveness of photothermal therapy, resulting in insufficient heating and potentially leading to cancer recurrence. One of these parameters is the patient’s pain sensation during the treatment, if this is performed without use of anesthetic. Pain can restrict the level of applicable laser radiation, cause an interruption to the treatment course and, as such, affect its efficacy, as well as leading to a negative patient experience and consequential general population hesitancy to this type of therapy. Since having a comfortable and painless procedure is one of the important treatment goals in the clinic, along with its high effectiveness, and due to the relatively low number of studies devoted to this specific topic, we have compiled this review. Moreover, non-invasive and painless methods for temperature measurement during photothermal therapy (PTT), such as Raman spectroscopy and nanothermometry, will be discussed in the following. Here, we firstly outline the physical phenomena underlying the photothermal therapy, and then discuss studies devoted to photothermal cancer treatment concerning pain management and pathways for improved efficiency of photothermal therapy whilst minimizing pain experienced by the patient.

Abstract
With the outbreak of COVID-19, microbial pollution has gained increasing attention as a threat to human health. Consequently, many research efforts are being devoted to the development of efficient disinfection methods. In this context, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stands out as a green and broad-spectrum disinfectant, which can be produced and sprayed in the air directly by cavitation in ultrasonic nebulisation. However, the yield of H2O2 obtained by ultrasonic nebulisation is too low to satisfy the requirements for disinfection by spraying and needs to be improved to achieve efficient disinfection of the air and objects. Herein, we report the introduction of a zinc layer into an ultrasonic nebuliser to improve the production of H2O2 and generate additional Zn2+ by self-corrosion, achieving good disinfecting performance. Specifically, a zinc layer was assembled on the oscillator plate of a commercial ultrasonic nebuliser, resulting in a 21-fold increase in the yield of H2O2 and the production of 4.75 μg/mL Zn2+ in the spraying droplets. When the generated water mist was used to treat a bottle polluted with Escherichia coli for 30 min, the sterilisation rate reached 93.53%. This ultrasonic nebulisation using a functional zinc layer successfully enhanced the production of H2O2 while generating Zn2+, providing a platform for the development of new methodologies of spray disinfection.

Despite the great success of photothermal therapy (PTT), it still suffers from many obstacles, such as the limited penetration depth of light, thermoresistance of tumors, and limitations of mono-therapeutic modalities. Herein, second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1064 nm) light excitation thermosensitive liposomes (DG@TLs) were fabricated for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) guided enhanced PTT-chemotherapy. DG@TLs were constructed by encapsulating NIR-II light excitation semiconducting polymers into liposomes composed of phase change materials (PCMs), along with gambogic acid (GA) with chemotherapeutic and heat shock protein inhibition effects. Under 1064 nm laser irradiation, DG@TLs exhibited superior NIR-II PAI and PTT performances with deep tissue penetration while triggering the thermoresponsive release of GA based on the phase transition of PCMs from solid to liquid. The released GA could enhance the NIR-II PTT efficacy by inhibiting the activity of HSP90, reducing the thermoresistance of tumors, exhibiting significant chemotherapeutic effects, and achieving synergistic anti-tumor efficiency. This work provides a new strategy for achieving on-demand drug release and effective theranostics in deep-seated tumor regions.

Abstract
The use of ordered mesoporous matrices, and in particular carbon-based mesoporous nanoparticles has shown great potential towards enhancing the bioavailability of orally administered drugs. Nevertheless, elucidation of the in vivo absorption, distribution, and excretion of such carriers is essential for understanding their behaviour, and radiolabelling provides a very useful way to track their occurrence inside the body. In this work, uniform spherical CMK-1-type ordered mesoporous carbon nanoparticles have been radiolabelled with Technetium-99m (99mTc) and traced after oral administration to mice. Ex vivo biodistribution studies showed that the radiolabelled nanoparticles accumulated almost exclusively in the gastrointestinal tract; complete elimination of the radiotracer was observed within 24 h after administration, with practically no uptake into other main organs. These findings along with the results from in vitro stability studies indicate that the spherical carbon nanoparticles examined could be safely used as drug carriers with minimal side effects, but also support the great value of radiolabelling methods for monitoring the particles' behaviour in vivo.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy effectively ablates tumors by hyperthermia (>50 °C) under laser irradiation. However, the hyperthermia may inevitably diffuse to the surrounding healthy tissues to induce additional damage. Thus, effective cancer therapy by mild photothermal therapy at low temperatures is greatly desirable. In this study, a nanoagent (COF-GA) was designed to inhibit HSP90 for enhanced photothermal therapy against cancer at low temperatures. The nanoscale covalent organic frameworks (COFs) were able to increase the temperature of the tumor tissue under laser irradiation, which can transfer the energy of laser into heat for cancer cell killing. Gambogic acid (GA), as an inhibitor of HSP90, was used to overcome the heat resistance of tumor, achieving efficient mild-temperature photothermal therapy. As an excellent candidate for the photothermal therapy agent, COF-GA can induce the temperature to elevate as the exposure time increased when irradiated with laser. In vivo tests further demonstrated that the tumor growth was able to be significantly suppressed after being treated with COF-GA. The mild-temperature photothermal therapy exhibits an excellent antitumor efficacy at a relatively low temperature and minimizes the nonspecific thermal damage to normal tissues. This COF-GA nanoagent also enriches our understanding towards the various applications of COFs, particularly in the biomedicine field.

Abstract
Background Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with 40% occurring in the oral cavity. Although the level of early diagnosis and treatment of OSCC has improved significantly, the five-year survival rate of advanced patients remains unsatisfactory. However, the main challenges before us are how to get an early and accurate diagnosis and how to formulate effective treatment. Nanoparticle-based chemo-photothermal therapy has proven to be a promising non-invasive approach to treating oral squamous cell carcinoma treatment. Methods In this study, we tried to design and synthesize multifunctional hyaluronic acid (HA) modified gold nanorods/mesoporous silica-based nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) for photoacoustic imaging (PAI) guided cooperative chemo-photothermal therapy. Results The resultant nanocomposite shows favorable biocompatibility, relatively low cytotoxicity, ideal drug loading capability and strong PAI signals. In addition, they showed an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of 49.02% for photothermal therapy (PTT). Moreover, in vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy has better therapeutic effects than chemotherapy alone or PTT (P < 0.05). After being injected into the CAL-27 tumor-bearing mice, the DOX-AuNRs@mSiO2-HA nanoparticles could accumulate rapidly at the tumor sites and achieve complete ablation of tumors when combined with near-infrared laser irradiation, without obvious side effects on normal tissues. Conclusion Our research provides a solid demonstration of the potential of DOX-AuNRs@mSiO2-HA as a multifunctional platform in PAI-guided photothermal chemotherapy for oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
The booming photothermal therapy (PTT) has achieved great progress in non-invasive oncotherapy, and paves a novel way for clinical oncotherapy. Of note, mild temperature PTT (mPTT) of 42–45 °C could avoid treatment bottleneck of the traditional PTT, including nonspecific injury to normal tissues, vasculature and host antitumor immunity. However, cancer cells can resist mPTT via heat shock response and autophagy, thus leading to insufficient mPTT monotherapy to ablate tumor. To overcome the deficient antitumor efficacy caused by thermo-resistance of cancer cells and mono mPTT, synergistic therapies towards cancer cells have been conducted with mPTT. This review summarizes the recent advances in nanomedicine-potentiated mPTT for cancer treatment, including strategies for enhanced single-mode mPTT and mPTT plus synergistic therapies. Moreover, challenges and prospects for clinical translation of nanomedicine-potentiated mPTT are discussed.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as promising materials for biomedical applications, but their functions remain to be explored and the potential toxicity concerns should be resolved. Herein, it is presented that carbonization significantly enhances the fluorescence quenching efficiency and aqueous stability of nanoscale COFs. The probes prepared by physisorbing dye-labeled nucleic acid recognition sequences onto the carbonized COF nanoparticles (termed C-COF) were employed for cell imaging, which could effectively light up biomarkers (survivin and TK1 mRNA) in living cells. The C-COF has enhanced photothermal conversion capacity, indicating that the probes are also promising candidates for photothermal therapy. The potential toxicity concern from the aromatic rigid building units of COFs was detoured by carbonization. Overall, carbonization is a promising strategy for developing biocompatible and multifunctional COF-derived nanoprobes for biomedical applications. This work may inspire more versatile COF-derived nanoprobes for bioanalysis and nanomedicine.

Abstract
Ferroptosis has received ever-increasing attention due to its unparalleled mechanism in eliminating resistant tumor cells. Nevertheless, the accumulation of toxic lipid peroxides (LPOs) at the tumor site is limited by the level of lipid oxidation. Herein, by leveraging versatile sodium alginate (ALG) hydrogel, a localized ferroptosis trigger consisting of gambogic acid (GA), 2,2'-azobis [2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl) propane] dihydrochloride (AIPH), and Ink (a photothermal agent), was constructed via simple intratumor injection. Upon 1064 nm laser irradiation, the stored AIPH rapidly decomposed into alkyl radicals (R•), which aggravated LPOs in tumor cells. Meanwhile, GA could inhibit heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) to reduce the heat resistance of tumor cells, and forcefully consume glutathione (GSH) to weaken the antioxidant capacity of cells. Systematic in vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated that synchronous consumption of GSH and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) facilitated reduced expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), which further contributed to disruption of intracellular redox homeostasis and ultimately boosted ferroptosis. This all-in-one strategy has a highly effective tumor suppression effect by depleting and generating fatal active compounds at tumor sites, which would pave a new route for the controllable, accurate, and coordinated tumor treatments.

Abstract
Although photothermal therapy (PTT) with the assistance of nanotechnology has been considered as an indispensable strategy in the biomedical field, it still encounters some severe problems that need to be solved. Excessive heat can induce treated cells to develop thermal resistance, and thus, the efficacy of PTT may be dramatically decreased. In the meantime, the uncontrollable diffusion of heat can pose a threat to the surrounding healthy tissues. Recently, low-temperature PTT (also known as mild PTT or mild-temperature PTT) has demonstrated its remarkable capacity of conquering these obstacles and has shown excellent performance in bacterial elimination, wound healing, and cancer treatments. Herein, we summarize the recently proposed strategies for achieving low-temperature PTT based on nanomaterials and introduce the synthesis, characteristics, and applications of these nanoplatforms. Additionally, the combination of PTT and other therapeutic modalities for defeating cancers and the synergistic cancer therapeutic effect of the combined treatments are discussed. Finally, the current limitations and future directions are proposed for inspiring more researchers to make contributions to promoting low-temperature PTT toward more successful preclinical and clinical disease treatments.
