Abstract
Nanomaterials have aroused great interests in drug delivery due to their nanoscale structure, facile modifiability, and multifunctional physicochemical properties. Currently, stimuli-responsive nanomaterials that can respond to endogenous or exogenous stimulus display strong potentials in biomedical applications. In comparison with conventional nanomaterials, stimuli-responsive nanomaterials can improve therapeutic efficiency and reduce the toxicity of drugs toward normal tissues through specific targeting and on-demand drug release at pathological sites. In this review, we summarize the responsive mechanism of a variety of stimulus, including pH, redox, and enzymes within pathological microenvironment, as well as exogenous stimulus such as thermal effect, magnetic field, light, and ultrasound. After that, biomedical applications (e.g., drug delivery, imaging, and theranostics) of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials in a diverse array of common diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurological disorders, inflammation, and bacterial infection, are presented and discussed. Finally, the remaining challenges and outlooks of future research directions for the biomedical applications of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials are also discussed. We hope that this review can provide valuable guidance for developing stimuli-responsive nanomaterials and accelerate their biomedical applications in diseases diagnosis and treatment.

Hyaluronidase-Responsive Bactericidal Cryogel for Promoting Healing of Infected Wounds: Inflammatory Attenuation, ROS Scavenging, and Immune Regulation. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2306602.

Abstract
Wounds infected with multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are increasingly threatening public health and challenging clinical treatments because of intensive bacterial colonization, excessive inflammatory responses, and superabundant oxidative stress. To overcome this malignant burden and promote wound healing, a multifunctional cryogel (HA/TA2/KR2) composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), tannic acid (TA), and KR-12 peptides is designed. The cryogel exhibited excellent shape-memory properties, strong absorption performance, and hemostatic capacity. In vitro experiments demonstrated that KR-12 in the cryogel can be responsively released by stimulation with hyaluronidase produced by bacteria, reaching robust antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli), MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-PA), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by disrupting bacterial cell membranes. Furthermore, the synergetic effect of KR-12 and TA can efficiently scavenge ROS and decrease expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α & interleukin (IL)-6), as well as modulate the macrophage phenotype toward the M2 type. In vivo animal tests indicated that the cryogel can effectively destroy bacteria in the wound and promote healing process via accelerating angiogenesis and re-epithelialization. Proteomic analysis revealed the underlying mechanism by which the cryogel mainly reshaped the infected wound microenvironment by inhibiting the Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and activating the Janus kinase-Signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT6) signaling pathway. Therefore, the HA/TA2/KR2 cryogel is a promising dressing candidate for MDR bacteria-infected wound healing.

Acta Biomater 2024; 178:287-295. [PMID: 38395101 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.02.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
Single-molecule-based synergistic phototherapy holds great potential for antimicrobial treatment. Herein, we report an orthogonal molecular cationization strategy to improve the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hyperthermia generation of heptamethine cyanine (Cy7) for photodynamic and photothermal treatments of bacterial infections. Cationic pyridine (Py) is introduced at the meso‑position of the asymmetric Cy7 with intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) to construct an atypical electron-transfer triad, which reduces ΔES1-S0, circumvents rapid charge recombination, and simultaneously enhances intersystem crossing (ISC) based on spin-orbit charge-transfer ISC (SOCT-ISC) mechanism. This unique molecular construction produces anti-Stokes luminescence (ASL) because the rotatable CN bond enriched in high vibrational-rotational energy levels improves hot-band absorption (HBA) efficiency. The obtained triad exhibits higher singlet oxygen quantum yield and photothermal conversion efficiency compared to indocyanine green (ICG) under irradiation above 800 nm. Cationization with Py enables the triad to target bacteria via intense electrostatic attractions, as well as biocidal property against a broad spectrum of bacteria in the dark. Moreover, the triad under irradiation can enhance biofilm eradication performance in vitro and statistically improve healing efficacy of MRSA-infected wound in mice. Thus, this work provides a simple but effective strategy to design small-molecule photosensitizers for synergistic phototherapy of bacterial infections. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We developed an orthogonal molecular cationization strategy to enhance the reactive oxygen species and thermal effects of heptamethine cyanine (Cy7) for photodynamic and photothermal treatments of bacterial infections. Specifically, cationic pyridine (Py) was introduced at the meso‑position of the asymmetric Cy7 to construct an atypical electron-transfer triad, which reduced ΔES1-S0, circumvented rapid charge recombination, and simultaneously enhanced intersystem crossing (ISC). This triad, with a rotatable CN bond, produced anti-Stokes luminescence due to hot-band absorption. The triad enhanced antimicrobial performance and statistically improved the healing efficacy of MRSA-infected wounds in mice. This site-specific cationization strategy may provide insights into the design of small molecule-based photosensitizers for synergistic phototherapy of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Antibacterial theranostic nanoplatforms, which integrate diagnostic and therapeutic properties, exhibit gigantic application prospects in precision medicine. However, traditional theranostic nanoplatforms usually present an always-on signal output, which leads to poor specificity or selectivity in the treatment of bacterial infections. To address this challenge, stimuli-actuated turn-on nanoplatforms are developed for simultaneous activation of diagnostic signals (e.g., fluorescent, photoacoustic, magnetic signals) and initiation of antibacterial treatment. Specifically, by combining the infection microenvironment-responsive activation of visual signals and antibacterial activity, these theranostic nanoplatforms exert both higher accurate diagnosis rates and more effective treatment effects. In this review, the imaging and treatment strategies that are commonly used in the clinic are first briefly introduced. Next, the recent progress of stimuli-actuated turn-on theranostic nanoplatforms for treating bacterial infectious diseases is summarized in detail. Finally, current bottlenecks and future opportunities of antibacterial theranostic nanoplatforms are also outlined and discussed.

Abstract
The application of medical implants has greatly improved the survival rate and life quality of patients. Nevertheless, in recent years, there are increasing cases of implant dysfunction or failure because of bacterial infections. Despite significant improvements in biomedicine, there are still serious challenges in the treatment of implant-related infections. With the formation of bacterial biofilms and the development of bacterial resistance, these limitations lead to a low efficacy of conventional antibiotics. To address these challenges, it is urgent to exploit innovative treatment strategies for implant-related infections. Based on these ideas, environment-responsive therapeutic platforms with high selectivity, low drug resistance, and minor dose-limiting toxicity have attracted widespread attention. By using exogenous/endogenous stimuli, the antibacterial activity of therapeutics can be activated on demand and exhibit remarkable therapeutic effects. Exogenous stimuli include photo, magnetism, microwave, and ultrasound. Endogenous stimuli mainly include the pathological characteristics of bacterial infections such as acidic pH, anomalous temperature, and abnormal enzymatic activities. In this review, the recent progress of environment-responsive therapeutic platforms with spatiotemporally controlled drug release/activation is systematically summarized. Afterward, the limitations and opportunities of these emerging platforms are highlighted. Finally, it is hoped that this review will offer novel ideas and techniques to combat implant-related infections.

Abstract
Targeted killing multidrug-resistant bacteria with high efficiency is urgently needed for the treatment of infection with minimal collateral damage. Herein, a new near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence nanoprobe is designed and synthesized with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features, which also is excellent reactive oxygen species (ROS) generator. The as-prepared AIE nanoparticles (NPs) present outstanding sterilizing rate on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and kanamycin-resistant Escherichia coli (KREC). Meanwhile, considering the differences in the surface structure of animal cells and bacteria, a non-invasive image-guided strategy for precise treatment of bacterial infection has been successfully implemented based on bioorthogonal reaction which can perform and control unnatural chemical reactions inside living organisms. The AIE NPs are thus specifically trapped on the bacterial surface while not on the normal cells, realizing real-time tracking of the infected site distribution in vivo and guiding photodynamic therapy (PDT) for eliminating bacteria in inflammation region. That significantly improves the accuracy and sterilization rate of bacterial-infected wounds with negligible side effects. The investigation developed a potential antibacterial agent and also provides an instructive way for targeting treatment based on bioorthogonal reaction.

Abstract
In the past few decades, great progress has been made in the field of nanomaterials against bacterial infection. However, with the widespread emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, people try their best to explore and develop new antibacterial strategies to fight bacteria without obtaining or increasing drug resistance. Recently, multi-mode synergistic therapy has been considered as an effective scheme for the treatment of bacterial infections, especially the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) with controllable, non-invasive, small side effects and broad-spectrum antibacterial characteristics. It can not only improve the efficiency of antibiotics, but also do not promote antibiotic resistance. Therefore, multifunctional nanomaterials which combine the advantages of PTT and PDT are more and more used in the treatment of bacterial infections. However, there is still a lack of a comprehensive review of the synergistic effect of PTT and PDT in anti-infection. This review first focuses on the synthesis of synergistic photothermal/photodynamic nanomaterials and discusses the ways and challenges of photothermal/photodynamic synergism, as well as the future research direction of photothermal/photodynamic synergistic antibacterial nanomaterials.

Abstract
Effectively interfering energy metabolism in tumor cells and simultaneously activating the in vivo immune system to perform immune attacks are meaningful for tumor treatment. However, precisely targeted therapy is still a huge challenge. Herein, a mitochondrial-targeting phototheranostic system, FE-T nanoparticles (FE-T NPs) are developed to damage mitochondria in tumor cells and change the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. FE-T NPs are engineered by encapsulating the near-infrared (NIR) absorbed photosensitizer IR-FE-TPP within amphiphilic copolymer DSPE-SS-PEG-COOH for high-performing with simultaneous mitochondrial-targeting, near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging, and synchronous photothermal therapy (PTT) /photodynamic therapy (PDT) /immune therapy (IMT). In tumor treatment, the disulfide in the copolymer can be cleaved by excess intracellular glutathione (GSH) to release IR-FE-TPP and accumulate in mitochondria. After 808 nm irradiation, the mitochondrial localization of FE-T NPs generated reactive oxygen species (ROS), and hyperthermia, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, photoinductive apoptosis, and immunogenic cell death (ICD). Notably, in situ enhanced PDT/PTT in vivo via mitochondrial-targeting with FE-T NPs boosts highly efficient ICD toward excellent antitumor immune response. FE-T NPs provide an effective mitochondrial-targeting phototheranostic nanoplatform for imaging-guided tumor therapy.

Abstract
Effective treatment of bacterial biofilm-related infections is a great challenge for the medical community. During the formation of biofilms, bacteria excrete extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), including polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, etc., to encapsulate themselves and form a "fort-like" structure, which greatly reduces the efficiency of therapeutic agents. Herein, we prepared a nanoagent (MnO2-amylase-PEG-ICG nanosheets, MAPI NSs) with biofilm degradation capability for efficient photothermal therapy and fluorescence imaging of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm infections. MAPI NSs were constructed by sequentially modifying α-amylase, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and indocyanine green (ICG) on manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO2 NSs). Experimental results exhibited that MAPI NSs could accumulate in infected tissues after intravenous injection, degrade in the acidic biofilm microenvironment, and release the loaded ICG for near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of the infected tissues. Importantly, MAPI NSs could efficiently eliminate MRSA biofilm infections in mice by α-amylase enhanced photothermal therapy. In addition, MAPI NSs exhibited neglectable toxicity towards mice. Given the superior properties of MAPI NSs, the enzyme-degradation enhanced therapeutic strategy presented in this work offers a promising solution for effectively combating biofilm infectious diseases.

Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is seriously endangering the global healthcare system. There is an urgent need for combining imaging with therapies to realize the real-time monitoring of pathological condition and treatment progress. It also provides guidance on exploring new medicines and enhance treatment strategies to overcome the antibiotic resistance of existing conventional antibiotics. In this review, we provide a thorough overview of the most advanced image-guided approaches for bacterial diagnosis (e.g., computed tomography imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, photoacoustic imaging, ultrasound imaging, fluorescence imaging, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography imaging, and multiple imaging), and therapies (e.g., photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, and multiple therapies). This review focuses on how to design and fabricate photo-responsive materials for improved image-guided bacterial theranostics applications. We present a potential application of different image-guided modalities for both bacterial diagnosis and therapies with representative examples. Finally, we highlighted the current challenges and future perspectives image-guided approaches for future clinical translation of nano-theranostics in bacterial infections therapies. We envision that this review will provide for future development in image-guided systems for bacterial theranostics applications.

Abstract
Phototherapy, which generally refers to photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), has received significant attention over the past few years since it is non-invasive, has effective selectivity, and has few side effects. As a result, it has become a promising alternative to traditional clinical treatments. At present, two-dimensional materials (2D materials) have proven to be at the forefront of the development of advanced nanomaterials due to their ultrathin structures and fascinating optical properties. As a result, much work has been put into developing phototherapy platforms based on 2D materials. This review summarizes the current developments in 2D materials beyond graphene for phototherapy, focusing on the novel approaches of PTT and PDT. New methods are being developed to go above and beyond conventional treatment to fully use the potential of 2D materials. Additionally, the efficacy of cutting-edge phototherapy is assessed, and the existing difficulties and future prospects of 2D materials for phototherapy are covered.

Acta Biomater 2023; 155:588-600. [PMID: 36328125 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.10.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Nanozyme-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has shown tremendous potential in the treatment of bacterial infections. However, the CDT antibacterial efficacy is severely limited by the catalytic activity of nanozymes or the infection microenvironments such as insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and overexpressed glutathione (GSH). Herein, a versatile hybrid nanozyme (MoS2/CuO2) is rationally constructed by simply decorating ultrasmall CuO2 nanodots onto lamellar MoS2 platelets of hydrangea-like MoS2 nanocarrier via a covalent Cu-S bond. The MoS2/CuO2 nanozyme exhibits the peroxidase-mimic activity for catalytically converting H2O2 produced by acid-triggered decomposition of the decorated CuO2 into hydroxyl radical (•OH). Meanwhile, the MoS2/CuO2 can consume GSH overexpressed in the infection sites via redox reaction mediated by polyvalent transition metal ions (Cu2+ and Mo6+) for enhanced CDT. More importantly, MoS2 support can promote the conversion of Cu2+ to Cu+ by a co-catalytic reaction based on the Mo4+/Mo6+ redox couples, and provide photonic hyperthermia (PTT) to augment the peroxidase-mimic activity. The developed MoS2/CuO2 nanozymes possesses a desirable catalytic property, as well as a remarkably improved antibacterial efficiency both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, this study proposes a synergetic multiple enhancement strategy to successfully construct the versatile hybrid nanozymes for intensive in vivo PTT/CDT dual-mode anti-infective therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has shown great potentialities in the treatment of bacterial infections, while its therapeutic efficiency is severely limited by the infection microenvironments such as insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and overexpressed glutathione (GSH). Here, we rationally construct a hybrid nanozyme (MoS2/CuO2) with peroxidase-like activity that can enhance CDT by regulating local microenvironments, that is, simultaneously self-supplying H2O2 and consuming GSH. Importantly, MoS2 support can promote the conversion of Cu2+ to Cu+ by the Mo4+/Mo6+ redox couples, and provide photonic hyperthermia (PTT) to augment the peroxidase-mimic activity. The developed MoS2/CuO2 shows desirable PTT/CDT dual-mode antibacterial efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. This study proposes a versatile hybrid nanozyme with multiple enhancement effects for intensive in vivo anti-infective therapy.

Abstract
The rapid emergence and spread of drug-resistant bacteria, as one of the most pressing public health threats, are declining our arsenal of available antimicrobial drugs. Advanced antimicrobial drug delivery systems that can achieve precise and controlled release of antimicrobial agents in the microenvironment of bacterial infections will retard the development of antimicrobial resistance. A variety of extracellular enzymes are secreted by bacteria to destroy physical integrity of tissue during their invasion of host body, which can be utilized as stimuli to trigger "on-demand" release of antimicrobials. In the past decade, such bacterial enzyme responsive drug release systems have been intensively studied but few review has been released. Herein, we systematically summarize the recent progress of smart antimicrobial drug delivery systems triggered by bacteria secreted enzymes such as lipase, hyaluronidase, protease and antibiotic degrading enzymes. The perspectives and existing key issues of this field will also be discussed to fuel the innovative research and translational application in the future.

Abstract
Developing a universal nanoplatform for efficient delivery of various drugs to target sites is urgent for overcoming various biological barriers and realizing combinational cancer treatment. Nanogels, with the advantages of both hydrogels and nanoparticles, may hold potential for addressing the above issue. Here, a dual-responsive nanogel platform (HPC nanogel) is constructed using β-cyclodextrin-conjugated hyaluronic acid (HA-βCD), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and cisplatin. HA-βCD and PEI compose the skeleton of the nanogel, and cisplatin molecules provide the junctions inside the skeleton, thus affording a multiple interactions-based nanogel. Besides, HA endows the nanogel with hyaluronidase (HAase)-responsiveness, and cisplatin guarantees the glutathione (GSH)-responsive ability, which make the nanogel a dual-responsive platform that can degrade and release the loaded drugs when encountering HAase or GSH. Additionally, the HPC nanogel possesses excellent small-molecule drug and protein loading and intracellular delivery capabilities. Especially, for proteins, their intracellular delivery via nanogels is not hindered by serum proteins, and the enzymes delivered into cells still maintain their catalytic activities. Furthermore, the nanogel can codeliver different cargoes to achieve "cocktail" chemotherapeutic efficacy and realize combination cancer therapy. Overall, the HPC nanogel can serve as a multifunctional platform capable of delivering desired drugs to treat cancer or other diseases.

Abstract
Diabetic wound infection is a common disease that has significantly reduced people's quality of life. Although tremendous achievements have been made in clinical treatment, the crucial challenge in diabetic infected wound management stems from the detrimental diabetic wound environment and the emergence of bacterial resistance after long-term medication, which result in a reduced efficacy, an increased dosage of medication, and severe side effects. To tackle these issues, it is of great significance to develop an innovative treatment strategy for diabetic wound infection therapy. Currently, the exploitation of nanobiomaterial-based therapeutic systems for diabetic infected wounds is booming, and therapeutic systems with a stimuli-responsive performance have received extensive attention. These therapeutic systems are able to accelerate diabetic infected wound healing due to the on-demand release of therapeutic agents in diabetic infected wounds in response to stimulating factors. Based on the characteristics of diabetic infected wounds, many endogenous stimuli-responsive (e.g., glucose, enzyme, hypoxia, and acidity) therapeutic systems have been employed for the targeted treatment of infected wounds in diabetic patients. Additionally, exogenous stimulants, including light, magnetism, and temperature, are also capable of achieving on-demand drug release and activation. In this review, the characteristics of diabetic infected wounds are presented, and then exogenous/endogenous stimuli therapeutic systems for the treatment of diabetic infected wounds are summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future outlook of stimuli-responsive therapeutic systems are also discussed.

Abstract
With the emergence and global spread of bacterial resistance, pathogenic bacterial infections have become a serious threat to human health. Thus, therapeutic strategies with highly antibacterial efficacy and a low tendency to induce drug resistance are strongly desired to combat bacterial infections. Here, an ultra-efficient photodynamic/chemodynamic theranostics platform is developed by intercalating an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer, TPCI, into the nanolayers of iron-bearing montmorillonite (MMT). The formed TPCI/MMT composite can not only perform efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT) through a burst generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) upon white light illumination but also continuously implement chemodynamic therapy (CDT) by converting endogenous hydrogen peroxide into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) due to iron release. In addition, the fluorescence of TPCI/MMT can be activated due to the AIE feature of TPCI, which helps guide the location of the antimicrobials. The combination of such powerful bombs (PDT) and unremitting ambushes (CDT) in TPCI/MMT can synergistically and effectively eliminate bacteria and promote faster wound healing in vivo with good biocompatibility and low side effects. The smart and simple design of TPCI/MMT provides a representative paradigm for achieving efficient antimicrobials to combat the coming resistance crisis.

Abstract
The development of degradable hydrogel fillers with high antibacterial activity and wound-healing property is urgently needed for the treatment of infected wounds. Herein, an injectable, degradable, photoactivated antibacterial hydrogel (MPDA-BNN6@Gel) was developed by incorporating BNN6-loaded mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA-BNN6 NPs) into a fibrin-based hydrogel. After administration, MPDA-BNN6@Gel created local hyperthermia and released large quantities of NO gas to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection under the stimulation of an 808 nm laser. Experiments confirmed that the bacteria were eradicated through irreversible damage to the cell membrane, genetic metabolism, and material energy. Furthermore, in the absence of laser irradition, the fibrin and small amount of NO that originated from MPDA-BNN6@Gel promoted wound healing in vivo. This work indicates that MPDA-BNN6@Gel is a promising alternative for the treatment of infected wounds and provides a facile tactic to design a photoregulated bactericidal hydrogel for accelerating infected wound healing. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The development of a degradable hydrogel with high antibacterial activity and wound-healing property is an urgent need for the treatment of infected wounds. Herein, an injectable, degradable, and photo-activated antibacterial hydrogel (MPDA-BNN6@Gel) has been developed by incorporating BNN6-loaded mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA-BNN6 NPs) into a fibrin-based hydrogel. After administration of MPDA-BNN6@Gel, the MPDA-BNN6@Gel could generate local hyperthermia and release large quantities of NO gas to treat the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection under the irradiation of 808 nm laser. Furthermore, in the absence of a laser, the fibrin and a small amount of NO originating from MPDA-BNN6@Gel could promote wound healing in vivo.

Abstract
With rapid emergence of multi-drug resistant microbes, it is imperative to seek alternative means for infection control. Optical waveguides are an auspicious delivery method for precise administration of phototherapy. Studies have shown that phototherapy is promising in fighting against a myriad of infectious pathogens (i.e. viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa) including biofilm-forming species and drug-resistant strains while evading treatment resistance. When administered via optical waveguides, phototherapy can treat both superficial and deep-tissue infections while minimizing off-site effects that afflict conventional phototherapy and pharmacotherapy. Despite great therapeutic potential, exact mechanisms, materials, and fabrication designs to optimize this promising treatment option are underexplored. This review outlines principles and applications of phototherapy and optical waveguides for infection control. Research advances, challenges, and outlook regarding this delivery system are rigorously discussed in a hope to inspire future developments of optical waveguide-mediated phototherapy for the management of infection and beyond.

Abstract
Bacterial infections are common diseases causing tremendous deaths in clinical settings. It has been a big challenge to human beings because of the antibiotics abuse and the newly emerging microbes. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a reactive oxygen species-based therapeutic technique through light-activated photosensitizer (PS). Recent studies have highlighted the potential of PDT as an alternative method of antibacterial treatment for its broad applicability and high efficiency. However, there are some shortcomings due to the low selectivity and specificity of PS. Growing evidence has shown that drug delivery nanoplatforms have unique advantages in enhancing therapeutic efficacy of drugs. Particularly, stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms, as a promising delivery system, provide great opportunities for the effective delivery of PS. In the present mini-review, we briefly introduced the unique microenvironment in bacterial infection tissues and the application of PDT on bacterial infections. Then we review the stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms (including pH-, enzymes-, redox-, magnetic-, and electric-) used in PDT against bacterial infections. Lastly, some perspectives have also been proposed to further promote the future developments of antibacterial PDT.

[PMID: 34384446 PMCID: PMC8359346 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-021-00985-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Bacterial proliferation on the endosseous implants surface presents a new threat to the using of the bone implants. Unfortunately, there is no effective constructed antibacterial coating which is bacterial anti-adhesion substrate-independent or have long-term biofilm inhibition functions. Methods Drug release effect was tested in Chymotrypsin (CMS) solution and S. aureus. We used bacterial inhibition rate assays and protein leakage experiment to analyze the in vitro antibacterial effect of (Montmorillonite/Poly-l-lysine-Chlorhexidine)10 [(MMT/PLL-CHX)10] multilayer film. We used the CCK-8 assay to analyze the effect of (MMT/PLL-CHX)10 multilayer films on the growth and proliferation of rat osteoblasts. Rat orthopaedic implant-related infections model was constructed to test the antimicrobial activity effect of (MMT/PLL-CHX)10 multilayer films in vivo. Results In this study, the (MMT/PLL-CHX)10 multilayer films structure were progressively degraded and showed well concentration-dependent degradation characteristics following incubation with Staphylococcus aureus and CMS solution. Bacterial inhibition rate assays and protein leakage experiment showed high levels of bactericidal activity. While the CCK-8 analysis proved that the (MMT/PLL-CHX)10 multilayer films possess perfect biocompatibility. It is somewhat encouraging that in the in vivo antibacterial tests, the K-wires coated with (MMT/PLL-CHX)10 multilayer films showed lower infections incidence and inflammation than the unmodified group, and all parameters are close to SHAM group. Conclusion (MMT/PLL-CHX)10 multilayer films provides a potential therapeutic method for orthopaedic implant-related infections.
