Abstract
Due to the intrinsic non-invasive nature, cost-effectiveness, high safety, and real-time capabilities, besides diagnostic imaging, ultrasound as a typical mechanical wave has been extensively developed as a physical tool for versatile biomedical applications. Especially, the prosperity of nanotechnology and nanomedicine invigorates the landscape of ultrasound-based medicine. The unprecedented surge in research enthusiasm and dedicated efforts have led to a mass of multifunctional micro-/nanosystems being applied in ultrasound biomedicine, facilitating precise diagnosis, effective treatment, and personalized theranostics. The effective deployment of versatile ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems in biomedical applications is rooted in a profound understanding of the relationship among composition, structure, property, bioactivity, application, and performance. In this comprehensive review, we elaborate on the general principles regarding the design, synthesis, functionalization, and optimization of ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems for abundant biomedical applications. In particular, recent advancements in ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems for diagnostic imaging are meticulously summarized. Furthermore, we systematically elucidate state-of-the-art studies concerning recent progress in ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems for therapeutic applications targeting various pathological abnormalities including cancer, bacterial infection, brain diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic diseases. Finally, we conclude and provide an outlook on this research field with an in-depth discussion of the challenges faced and future developments for further extensive clinical translation and application.

An intelligent Cu/ZIF-8-based nanodrug delivery system for tumor-specific and synergistic therapy via tumor microenvironment-responsive cascade reaction. Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:447. [PMID: 38963544 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06527-6] [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: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
An intelligent nanodrug delivery system (Cu/ZIF-8@GOx-DOX@HA, hereafter CZGDH) consisting of Cu-doped zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (Cu/ZIF-8, hereafter CZ), glucose oxidase (GOx), doxorubicin (DOX), and hyaluronic acid (HA) was established for targeted drug delivery and synergistic therapy of tumors. The CZGDH specifically entered tumor cells through the targeting effect of HA and exhibited acidity-triggered biodegradation for subsequent release of GOx, DOX, and Cu2+ in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The GOx oxidized the glucose (Glu) in tumor cells to produce H2O2 and gluconic acid for starvation therapy (ST). The DOX entered the intratumoral cell nucleus for chemotherapy (CT). The released Cu2+ consumed the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells to produce Cu+. The generated Cu+ and H2O2 triggered the Fenton-like reaction to generate toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which disrupted the redox balance of tumor cells and effectively killed tumor cells for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Therefore, synergistic multimodal tumor treatment via TME-activated cascade reaction was achieved. The nanodrug delivery system has a high drug loading rate (48.3 wt%), and the three-mode synergistic therapy has a strong killing effect on tumor cells (67.45%).

Abstract
A planar conjugated ligand functionalized with bithiophene and its Ru(II), Os(II), and Ir(III) complexes have been constructed as single-molecule platform for synergistic photodynamic, photothermal, and chemotherapy. The complexes have significant two-photon absorption at 808 nm and remarkable singlet oxygen and superoxide anion production in aqueous solution and cells when exposed to 808 nm infrared irradiation. The most potent Ru(II) complex Ru7 enters tumor cells via the rare macropinocytosis, locates in both nuclei and mitochondria, and regulates DNA-related chemotherapeutic mechanisms intranuclearly including DNA topoisomerase and RNA polymerase inhibition and their synergistic effects with photoactivated apoptosis, ferroptosis and DNA cleavage. Ru7 exhibits high efficacy in vivo for malignant melanoma and cisplatin-resistant non-small cell lung cancer tumors, with a 100 % survival rate of mice, low toxicity to normal cells and low residual rate. Such an infrared two-photon activatable metal complex may contribute to a new generation of single-molecule-based integrated diagnosis and treatment platform to address drug resistance in clinical practice and phototherapy for large, deeply located solid tumors.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive size-changeable and biodegradable nanoplatforms for multimodal therapy possess huge advantages in anti-tumor therapy. Hence, we developed a hyaluronic acid (HA) modified CuS/MnO2 nanosheets (HCMNs) as a multifunctional nanoplatform for synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/photothermal therapy (PTT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT). The prepared HCMNs exhibited significant NIR light absorption and photothermal conversion efficiency because of the densely deposited ultra-small sized CuS nanoparticles on the surface of MnO2 nanosheet. They could precisely target the tumor cells and rapidly decomposed into small sized nanostructures in the TME, and then efficiently promote intracellular ROS generation through a series of cascade reactions. Moreover, the local temperature elevation induced by photothermal effect also promote the PDT based on CuS nanoparticles and the Fenton-like reaction of Mn2+, thereby enhancing the therapeutic efficiency. Furthermore, the T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was significantly enhanced by the abundant Mn2+ ions from the decomposition process of HCMNs. In addition, the CDT/PTT/PDT synergistic therapy using a single NIR light source exhibited considerable anti-tumor effect via in vitro cell test. Therefore, the developed HCMNs will provide great potential for MR imaging and multimodal synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cancer metastasis and invasion are closely related to tumor cell immunosuppression and intracellular hypoxia. Activation of immunogenicity and intracellular oxygenation are effective strategies for cancer treatment. In this study, multifunctional nanomicelle hyaluronic acid and cinnamaldehyde is self-assembled into nanomicelles (HPCNPs) were constructed for immunotherapy and tumor cell oxygenation. The Schiff base was constructed of HPCNPs with pyropheophorbide a-Cu (PPa-Cu). HPCNPs are concentrated in tumor sites under the guidance of CD44 proteins, and under the stimulation of tumor environment (weakly acidic), the Schiff base is destroyed to release free PPa. HPCNPs with photodynamic therapeutic functions and chemokinetic therapeutic functions produce a large number of reactive oxygen species (1O2 and •OH) under exogenous (laser) and endogenous (H2O2) stimulations, causing cell damage, and then inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD). ICD markers (CRT and ATP) and immunoactivity markers (IL-2 and CD8) were characterized by immunofluorescence. Downregulation of Arg1 protein proved that the tumor microenvironment changed from immunosuppressive type (M2) to antitumor type (M1). The oxidation of glutathione by HPCNP cascades to amplify the concentration of reactive oxygen species. In situ oxygenation by HPCNPs based on a Fenton-like reaction improves the intracellular oxygen level. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that HPCNPs combined with an immune checkpoint blocker (α-PD-L1) effectively ablated primary tumors, effectively inhibited the growth of distal tumors, and increased the oxygen level in tumor cells.

Abstract
The journey of ceramics in medicine has been synchronized with an evolution from the first generation-alumina, zirconia, etc.-to the third -3D scaffolds. There is an up-and-coming member called oxygen-deficient or colored bioceramics, which have recently found their way through biomedical applications. The oxygen vacancy steers the light absorption toward visible and near infrared regions, making the colored bioceramics multifunctional-therapeutic, diagnostic, and regenerative. Oxygen-deficient bioceramics are capable of turning light into heat and reactive oxygen species for photothermal and photodynamic therapies, respectively, and concomitantly yield infrared and photoacoustic images. Different types of oxygen-deficient bioceramics have been recently developed through various synthesis routes. Some of them like TiO2- x , MoO3- x , and WOx have been more investigated for biomedical applications, whereas the rest have yet to be scrutinized. The most prominent advantage of these bioceramics over the other biomaterials is their multifunctionality endowed with a change in the microstructure. There are some challenges ahead of this category discussed at the end of the present review. By shedding light on this recently born bioceramics subcategory, it is believed that the field will undergo a big step further as these platforms are naturally multifunctional.

Abstract
Cancer phototheranostics have the potential for significantly improving the therapeutic effectiveness, as it can accurately diagnose and treat cancer. However, the current phototheranostic platforms leave much to be desired and are often limited by tumor hypoxia. Herein, a Schottky junction nanozyme has been established between a manganese-bridged cobalt-phthalocyanines complex and Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets (CoPc-Mn/Ti3C2Tx), which can serve as an integrative type I and II photosensitizer for enhancing cancer therapeutic efficacy via a photoacoustic imaging-guided multimodal chemodynamic/photothermal/photodynamic therapy strategy under near-infrared (808 nm) light irradiation. The Schottky junction not only possessed a narrow-bandgap, enhanced electron-hole separation ability and exhibited a potent redox potential but also enabled improved H2O2 and O2 supplying performances in vitro. Accordingly, the AS1411 aptamer-immobilized CoPc-Mn/Ti3C2Tx nanozyme illustrated high accuracy and excellent anticancer efficiency through a multimodal therapy strategy in in vitro and in vivo experiments. This work presents a valuable method for designing and constructing a multifunctional nanocatalytic medicine platform for synergistic cancer therapy of solid tumors.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) have received increasing attention owing to their advantages of greater penetration depth and higher signal-to-noise ratio. Plasmonic nanomaterials with tunable optical properties and strong light absorption provide an alternative to dye molecules, showing great prospects for phototheranostic applications. In this review, the research progress in principally modulating the optical properties of plasmonic nanomaterials, especially affecting parameters such as size, morphology, and surface chemical modification, is introduced. The commonly used plasmonic nanomaterials in the NIR-II window, including noble metals, semiconductors, and heterostructures, are then summarized. In addition, the biomedical applications of these NIR-II plasmonic nanomaterials for PAI and PTT in phototheranostics are highlighted. Finally, the perspectives and challenges for advancing plasmonic nanomaterials for practical use and clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
For a long time, optical imaging of the deep brain with high resolution has been a challenge. Recently, with the advance in second near-infrared (NIR-II) bioimaging techniques and imaging contrast agents, NIR-II window bioimaging has attracted great attention to monitoring deeper biological or pathophysiological processes with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spatiotemporal resolution. Assisted with NIR-II bioimaging, the modulation of structure and function of brain is promising to be noninvasive and more precise. Herein, in this review, first the advantage of NIR-II light in brain imaging from the interaction between NIR-II and tissue is elaborated. Then, several specific NIR-II bioimaging technologies are introduced, including NIR-II fluorescence imaging, multiphoton fluorescence imaging, and photoacoustic imaging. Furthermore, the corresponding contrast agents are summarized. Next, the application of various NIR-II bioimaging technologies in visualizing the characteristics of cerebrovascular network and monitoring the changes of the pathology signals will be presented. After that, the modulation of brain structure and function based on NIR-II bioimaging will be discussed, including treatment of glioblastoma, guidance of cell transplantation, and neuromodulation. In the end, future perspectives that would help improve the clinical translation of NIR-II light are proposed.

Abstract
Phototheranostic based on photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI), as one of avant-garde medical techniques, have sparked growing attention because it allows noninvasive, deeply penetrative, and highly selective and effective therapy. Among a variety of phototheranostic nanoagents, single-component inorganic nanostructures are found to be novel and attractive PAI and PTT combined nanotheranostic agents and received tremendous attention, which not only exhibit structural controllability, high tunability in physiochemical properties, size-dependent optical properties, high reproducibility, simple composition, easy functionalization, and simple synthesis process, but also can be endowed with multiple therapeutic and imaging functions, realizing the superior therapy result along with bringing less foreign materials into body, reducing systemic side effects and improving the bioavailability. In this review, according to their synthetic components, conventional single-component inorganic nanostructures are divided into metallic nanostructures, metal dichalcogenides, metal oxides, carbon based nanostructures, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), MXenes, graphdiyne and other nanostructures. On the basis of this category, their detailed applications in PAI guide PTT of tumor treatment are systematically reviewed, including synthesis strategies, corresponding performances, and cancer diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy. Before these, the factors to influence on photothermal effect and the principle of in vivo PAI are briefly presented. Finally, we also comprehensively and thoroughly discussed the limitation, potential barriers, future perspectives for research and clinical translation of this single-component inorganic nanoagent in biomedical therapeutics.

Abstract
Tungsten-based nanomaterials (TNMs) with diverse nanostructures and unique physicochemical properties have been widely applied in the biomedical field. Although various reviews have described the application of TNMs in specific biomedical fields, there are still no comprehensive studies that summarize and analyze research trends of the field as a whole. To identify and further promote the development of biomedical TNMs, a bibliometric analysis method is used to analyze all relevant literature on this topic. First, general bibliometric distributions of the dataset by year, country, institute, referenced source, and research hotspots are recognized. Next, a comprehensive review of the subjectively recognized research hotspots in various biomedical fields, including biological sensing, anticancer treatments, antibacterials, and toxicity evaluation, is provided. Finally, the prospects and challenges of TNMs are discussed to provide a new perspective for further promoting their development in biomedical research.

Abstract
The combined use of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) could circumvent the drawbacks of each individual therapeutic strategy, resulting in an enhanced antitumor effect. However, the lack of highly effective photo-agents that are irradiation-safe in the biologically transparent window hinder the advancement of phototherapy clinically. Hence, in this study, a charge separation engineering strategy was adopted to fabricate a nanoplatform with heterojunctions, namely, in situ TiO2-loaded MXene (Ti3C2/TiO2 heterojunctions). This nanoplatform exhibited reduced bandgap (1.68 eV), enhanced NIR-II photothermal conversion efficiency (44.98%), and extended absorption edge compared to pristine TiO2 for enhanced photodynamic effect. More importantly, the proliferation of tumor cells could be efficiently inhibited at a 5 mm chicken breast depth after 1064 nm laser irradiation, and the intracellular ROS production significantly increased under 660 nm or even 1064 nm laser irradiation with heterojunctions (HJs) compared with that of TiO2. Moreover, the in vivo data further confirmed that the as-prepared heterojunctions could efficiently eradicate tumors efficiently via improved photothermal effect with NIR-II laser irradiation and upregulated ROS production. Collectively, the reported HJs strategy provides an opportunity for the success of combinational PTT and PDT therapy in tumor treatment.

Abstract
Near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) light-triggered photothermal therapy (PTT) has been regarded as a promising candidate for cancer treatment, but PTT alone often fails to achieve satisfactory curative outcomes. Hollow nanoplatforms prove to be attractive in the biomedical field owing to the merits including good biocompatibility, intrinsic physical-chemical nature and unique hollow structures, etc. On one hand, hollow nanoplatforms themselves can be NIR-II photothermal agents (PTAs), the cavities of which are able to carry diverse therapeutic units to realize multi-modal therapies. On the other hand, NIR-II PTAs are capable of decorating on the surface to combine with the functions of components encapsulated inside the hollow nanoplatforms for synergistic cancer treatment. Notably, PTAs generally can serve as good photoacoustic imaging (PAI) contrast agents (CAs), which means such kind of hollow nanoplatforms are also expected to be multifunctional all-in-one nanotheranostics. In this review, the recent advances of NIR-II hollow nanoplatforms for single-modal PTT, dual-modal PTT/photodynamic therapy (PDT), PTT/chemotherapy, PTT/catalytic therapy and PTT/gas therapy as well as multi-modal PTT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/chemotherapy, PTT/chemo/gene therapy and PTT/PDT/CDT/starvation therapy (ST)/immunotherapy are summarized for the first time. Before these, the typical synthetic strategies for hollow structures are presented, and lastly, potential challenges and perspectives related to these novel paradigms for future research and clinical translation are discussed.

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
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
Traditional treatments such as chemotherapy and surgery usually cause severe side effects and excruciating pain. The emergence of nanomedicines and minimally invasive therapies (MITs) has brought hope to patients with malignant diseases. Especially, minimally invasive nanomedicines (MINs), which combine the advantages of nanomedicines and MITs, can effectively target pathological cells/tissues/organs to improve the bioavailability of drugs, minimize side effects and achieve painless treatment with a small incision or no incision, thereby acquiring good therapeutic effects. In this review, we provide a comprehensive review of the research status and challenges of MINs, which generally refers to the medical applications of nanotechnology in photo-/ultrasound-/radiation-/magnetism-mediated therapy and imaging. Additionally, we also discuss their combined application in various fields including cancers, cardiovascular diseases, tissue engineering, neuro-functional diseases, and infectious diseases. The prospects, and potential bench-to-bedside translation of MINs are also presented in this review. We expect that this review can inspire the broad interest for a wide range of readers working in the fields of interdisciplinary subjects including (but not limited to) chemistry, nanomedicine, bioengineering, nanotechnology, materials science, pharmacology, and biomedicine.

Abstract
Owing to the natural abundance, easy availability, high stability, non-stoichiometry, and chemical diversity, considerable interest has been devoted to tungsten oxide (WO3-x) nanomaterials, and many advances have been achieved ranging from traditional catalysts and electronics to emerging artificial intelligence. This review focuses on recent progress of WO3-x polymorphs and their multifunctional applications. The structural diversity and crystal phase transitions of WO3-x and recent advances on the general synthesis of various WO3-x nanostructures are first summarized, since the crystal structure and morphology adjustment obviously affect the physiochemical merits of WO3-x materials. Then, their applications and related mechanisms in different fields are demonstrated, such as gas sensing, chromogenic (electro-, photo-, gaso-, and thermochromic), photocatalytic (pollutant degradation and water splitting), and emerging applications (biomedical, antibiotic, and artificial intelligence). With the advances highlighted here and the ongoing research efforts, the continuous breakthrough in functionalized WO3-x nanostructure and their attractive applications is foreseeable in the future.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a novel cancer therapeutic strategy defined as the treatment using Fenton or Fenton-like reaction to produce •OH in the tumor region, was first proposed by Bu, Shi, and co-workers in 2016. Recently, with the rapid development of Fenton and Fenton-like nanomaterials, CDT has attracted tremendous attention because of its unique advantages: 1) It is tumor-selective with low side effects; 2) the CDT process does not depend on external field stimulation; 3) it can modulate the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment; 4) the treatment cost of CDT is low. In addition to the Fe-involved CDT strategies, the Fenton-like reaction-mediated CDT strategies have also been proposed, which are based on many other metal elements including copper, manganese, cobalt, titanium, vanadium, palladium, silver, molybdenum, ruthenium, tungsten, cerium, and zinc. Moreover, CDT has been combined with other therapies like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, sonodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy for achieving enhanced anticancer effects. Besides, there have also been studies that extend the application of CDT to the antibacterial field. This review introduces the latest advancements in the nanomaterials-involved CDT from 2018 to the present and proposes the current limitations as well as future research directions in the related field.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME)-activatable phototheranostics is highly desirable in cancer management but still remains challenging for clinical applications owing to the lack of multifunctional theranostic agents and the limited tissue penetration depth. Reported here is an "all-in-one" phototheranostic platform based on near-infrared II (NIR-II) dual-plasmonic Au@Cu2-x Se core-shell nanocrystals (dpGCS NCs) for combined photoacoustic (PA)/photothermal (PT) imaging-guided chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/photocatalytic therapy (PCT)/photothermal therapy (PTT) all triggered by a single NIR-II laser. The dpGCS NCs feature excellent NIR-II plasmonic and PT properties, which guarantee their capabilities of NIR-II PA and PT imaging for real-time visual observation of tumor size and location during cancer treatment. Additionally, the TME-activated in situ •OH production via dpGCS NC-catalyzed Fenton-like reaction is further enhanced by the NIR-II irradiation, while photoexcited plasmonic hole-induced formation of extra •OH is also evidenced for PCT. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirm remarkable therapeutic efficacy of the present phototheranostic platform under NIR-II laser through the CDT/PCT/PTT trimodal combination therapy, achieving complete inhibition of tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice after administration of dpGCS NCs plus a single NIR-II laser irradiation. This work provides a distinctive paradigm for the development of NIR-II phototheranostic platforms for imaging-guided cancer therapy using a single laser.

Abstract
Phototherapies, including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) have been potential noninvasive therapeutic modality with high efficiency, however, there still exist some intrinsic limitations that impede their clinical applications. Herein, taking the advantages of the synergistic effect and high reactivity of manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets and glucose oxidase (GOx), multifunctional MPDA@MnO2-MB-GOx nanoamplifier was constructed for enhanced PTT, PDT, and starvation therapy. In tumor microenvironment (TME), MnO2 nanosheets on the surface of mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) could react with endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and generate oxygen (O2) to relieve tumor hypoxia, thus enhancing the efficacy of PDT and GOx catalysis. Glucose consumption under the catalysis of GOx will enhance the acidity of TME and increase intracellular H2O2 concentration, which in turn promotes the production of O2 by MnO2 nanosheets, thus forming efficient cascade reaction and maximizing the efficacy of the functional agents. Furthermore, the heat generated by MPDA under the irradiation of 808 nm laser can accelerate chemical reactions, thus further enhancing synergistic therapeutic efficacy. In vitro/vivo results emphasize that enhanced cancer cell death and tumor inhibition are gained by modulating unfavorable TME with the functional nanosystem, which highlights the promise of the synthesized MPDA@MnO2-MB-GOx nanomaterial to overcome the limitations of phototherapy.

Acta Biomater 2021; 129:220-234. [PMID: 34082106 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.05.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 05/10/2021] [Accepted: 05/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
The shallow penetration depth of photothermal agents in the first near-infrared (NIR-I) window significantly limits their therapeutic efficiency. Multifunctional nanotheranostic agents in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window have drawn extensive attention for their combined treatment of tumors. Here, for the first time, we created oxygen-deficient black SnO2-x with strong NIR (700-1200 nm) light absorption with NaBH4 reduction from white SnO2. Hyaluronic acid (HA) could selectively target cancer cells overexpressed CD44 protein. After modification with HA, the obtained nanotheranostic SnO2-x@SiO2-HA showed high dispersity in aqueous solution and good biocompatibility. SnO2-x@SiO2-HA was confirmed to simultaneously generate enough hyperthermia and reactive oxygen species with single NIR-II (1064 nm) light irradiation. Because HA is highly affined to CD44 protein, SnO2-x@SiO2-HA has specific uptake by overexpressed CD44 cells and can be accurately transferred to the tumor site. Furthermore, tumor growth was significantly inhibited following synergistic photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) with targeted specificity under the guidance of photoacoustic (PA) imaging using 1064 nm laser irradiation in vivo. Moreover, SnO2-x@SiO2-HA accelerated wound healing. This work prominently extends the therapeutic utilization of semiconductor nanomaterials by changing their nanostructures and demonstrates for the first time that SnO2-x based therapeutic agents can accelerate wound healing. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The phototherapeutic efficacy of nanotheranostics by NIR-I lightirradiation was restricted owing to the limitation of tissue penetration and maximum permissible exposure. To overcome these limitations, we hereby fabricated a NIR-IIlight-mediated multifunctional nanotheranostic based on SnO2-x. The introduction of oxygen vacancy strategy was employed to construct full spectrum responsive oxygen-deficient SnO2-x, endowing outstanding photothermal conversion, and remarkable production activity of reactive oxygen species under NIR-II light activation. Tumor growth was significantly inhibited following synergistic PDT/PTT with targeted specificity under the guidance of photoacoustic imaging using 1064 nm laser irradiation in vivo. Our strategy not only expands the biomedical application of SnO2, but also providea method to develop other inorganic metal oxide-based nanosystems for NIR-II light-activated phototheranostic of cancers.

Abstract
The development of robust materials for treating diseases through non-invasive photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Among various types of nanomaterials, inorganic nanomaterials with strong absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) window can be employed as high-efficiency photothermal agents to treat cancer and bacterial infections. In addition, inorganic nanomaterials can be easily combined with other drugs or chemical reagents to construct multifunctional nanomaterials to cascade stimulation responses, enhance therapeutic effects, and perform precise medical treatments. In this review, focusing on the latest developments of inorganic nanomaterials in photothermal therapy, we firstly introduced the light-to-heat conversion mechanism of inorganic nanomaterials. Secondly, we summarized the application of common inorganic nanomaterials, such as metallic nanoparticles, transition metal oxide nanoparticles and two dimensional (2D) nanosheets. In addition, the strategy of developing multifunctional nano-platforms with excellent biocompatibility as well as good targeted capability was also expounded. Finally, challenges and new perspectives for designing effective inorganic nanomaterial-based nanosystems for photothermal assisted therapy were also discussed.
