Abstract
Inorganic persistent phosphors feature great potential for cancer diagnosis due to the long luminescence lifetime, low background scattering, and minimal autofluorescence. With the prominent advantages of near-infrared light, such as deep penetration, high resolution, low autofluorescence, and tissue absorption, persistent phosphors can be used for deep bioimaging. We focus on highlighting inorganic persistent phosphors, emphasizing the synthesis methods and applications in cancer diagnostics. Typical synthetic methods such as the high-temperature solid state, thermal decomposition, hydrothermal/solvothermal, and template methods are proposed to obtain small-size phosphors for biological organisms. The luminescence mechanisms of inorganic persistent phosphors with different excitation are discussed and effective matrixes including galliumate, germanium, aluminate, and fluoride are explored. Finally, the current directions where inorganic persistent phosphors can continue to be optimized and how to further overcome the challenges in cancer diagnosis are summarized.

Talanta 2024; 279:126629. [PMID: 39106649 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/09/2024]
Abstract
Considering the excellent properties such as deep tissue penetration, high signal-to-noise ratio, and in-situ recharge and reactivation, near-infrared luminescence long afterglow nanoparticles show considerable promise for biological application, especially in multifunctional imaging, targeting, and synergistic therapeutic. In this paper, Zn3Ga4GeO11: 0.1 % Cr3+, 1 % Yb3+, 0.1 % Tm3+@Ag-FA (ZGGO@Ag-FA, ZGA-FA) nanoparticles were synthesized by in-situ growth of Ag nanoparticles on the surface of long afterglow nanoparticles, and further modified with folic acid. Through precise adjustments, the luminescent properties of ZnGa2O4 were enhanced and notably boosted the photothermal effect of Ag by leveraging the upconversion emission of ZGGO, with a photothermal conversion efficiency reaching about 59.9 %. The ZGA-FA nanoparticles are ultra-small, measuring less than 50 nm. The modification with folic acid provides the ZGA-FA nanoparticles with excellent tumor-targeting capabilities, demonstrating effective enrichment and retention in tumor tissues, thus enabling long-term imaging and therapy through in vivo re-excitation. Due to its stable photothermal effect, outstanding near-infrared (NIR) afterglow imaging, and red-light charged characteristics, combined with effective tumor-targeting abilities, the therapeutic strategy proposed by this study has significant potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Photoluminescent materials (PLNs) are photoluminescent materials that can absorb external excitation light, store it, and slowly release it in the form of light in the dark to achieve long-term luminescence. Developing near-infrared (NIR) PLNs is critical to improving long-afterglow luminescent materials. Because they excite in vitro, NIR-PLNs have the potential to avoid interference from in vivo autofluorescence in biomedical applications. These materials are promising for biosensing and bioimaging applications by exploiting the near-infrared biological window. First, we discuss the biomedical applications of PLNs in the first near-infrared window (NIR-I, 700-900 nm), which have been widely developed and specifically introduce biosensors and imaging reagents. However, the light in this area still suffers from significant light scattering and tissue autofluorescence, which will affect the imaging quality. Over time, fluorescence imaging technology in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) has also begun to develop rapidly. NIR-II fluorescence imaging has the advantages of low light scattering loss, high tissue penetration depth, high imaging resolution, and high signal-to-noise ratio, and it shows broad application prospects in biological analysis and medical diagnosis. This critical review collected and sorted articles from the past 5 years and introduced their respective fluorescence imaging technologies and backgrounds based on the definitions of NIR-I and NIR-II. We also analyzed the current advantages and dilemmas that remain to be solved. Herein, we also suggested specific approaches NIR-PLNs can use to improve the quality and be more applicable in cancer research.

Abstract
The growth state of tumor cells is strictly affected by the specific abnormal redox status of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Moreover, redox reactions at the biological level are also central and fundamental to essential energy metabolism reactions in tumors. Accordingly, anti-tumor nanodrugs targeting the disruption of this abnormal redox homeostasis have become one of the hot spots in the field of nanodrugs research due to the effectiveness of TME modulation and anti-tumor efficiency mediated by redox interference. This review discusses the latest research results of nanodrugs in anti-tumor therapy, which regulate the levels of oxidants or reductants in TME through a variety of therapeutic strategies, ultimately breaking the original "stable" redox state of the TME and promoting tumor cell death. With the gradual deepening of study on the redox state of TME and the vigorous development of nanomaterials, it is expected that more anti-tumor nano drugs based on tumor redox microenvironment regulation will be designed and even applied clinically.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a unique class of nanostructured materials, resulting from the self-assembly of metal ions or clusters with organic ligands, offering a wide range of applications in fields such as drug delivery, gas catalysis, and electrochemical sensing. Among them, HKUST-1, a copper-based MOF, has gained substantial attention due to its remarkable three-dimensional porous structure. Comprising copper ions and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid, HKUST-1 exhibits an extraordinary specific surface area and pronounced porosity, making it a promising candidate in biomedicine. Notably, the incorporation of copper ions endows HKUST-1 with noteworthy activities, including antitumor, antibacterial, and wound healing-promoting properties. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the various synthesis methods and activation pathways employed in the preparation of HKUST-1. We also explore the distinct advantages of HKUST-1 in terms of its structural properties and functionalities. Furthermore, we investigate the exciting and rapidly evolving biomedical applications of HKUST-1. From its role in tumor treatment to its antibacterial effects and its ability to promote wound healing, we showcase the multifaceted potential of HKUST-1 in addressing critical challenges in biomedicine.

Abstract
The nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field that has become a hot topic in cancer therapy. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials and hybrid composites consisted of organic linkers and metal cations. Despite the wide application of MOFs in other fields, the potential of MOFs for purpose of cancer therapy has been revealed by the recent studies. High surface area and porosity, significant drug loading and encapsulation efficiency are among the benefits of using MOFs in drug delivery. MOFs can deliver genes/drugs with selective targeting of tumor cells that can be achieved through functionalization with ligands. The photosensitizers and photo-responsive nanostructures including carbon dots and gold nanoparticles can be loaded in/on MOFs to cause phototherapy-mediated tumor ablation. The immunogenic cell death induction and increased infiltration of cytotoxic CD8+ and CD4+ T cells can be accelerated by MOF platforms in providing immunotherapy of tumor cells. The stimuli-responsive MOF platforms responsive to pH, redox, enzyme and ion can accelerate release of therapeutics in tumor site. Moreover, MOF nanocomposites can be modified ligands and green polymers to improve their selectivity and biocompatibility for cancer therapy. The application of MOFs for the detection of cancer-related biomarkers can participate in the early diagnosis of patients.

Abstract
It is well known that metal-organic framework (MOF) nanostructures have unique characteristics such as high porosity, large surface areas and adjustable functionalities, so they are ideal candidates for developing drug delivery systems (DDSs) as well as theranostic platforms in cancer treatment. Despite the large number of MOF nanostructures that have been discovered, conventional MOF-derived nanosystems only have a single biofunctional MOF source with poor colloidal stability. Accordingly, developing core-shell MOF nanostructures with good colloidal stability is a useful method for generating efficient drug delivery, multimodal imaging and synergistic therapeutic systems. The preparation of core-shell MOF nanostructures has been done with a variety of materials, but inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are highly effective for drug delivery and imaging-guided tumor treatment. Herein, we aimed to overview the synthesis of core-shell inorganic NP@MOF nanostructures followed by the application of core-shell MOFs derived from magnetic, quantum dots (QDs), gold (Au), and gadolinium (Gd) NPs in drug delivery and imaging-guided tumor treatment. Afterward, we surveyed different factors affecting prolonged drug delivery and cancer therapy, cellular uptake, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect of core-shell MOFs. Last but not least, we discussed the challenges and the prospects of the field. We envision this article may hold great promise in providing valuable insights regarding the application of hybrid nanostructures as promising and potential candidates for multimodal imaging-guided combination cancer therapy.

Mesoporous polyacrylic acid/calcium phosphate coated persistent luminescence nanoparticles for improved afterglow bioimaging and chemotherapy of bacterial infection. Biomater Sci 2023.

Abstract
Coating mesoporous drug carriers on the surface of persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) not only allows continuous luminous imaging without spontaneous fluorescence interference, but also provides drug release guidance. However, in most cases, the encapsulation of the drug-loaded shells significantly reduces the luminescence of PLNPs, which is unfavorable for bioimaging. In addition, conventional drug-loaded shells alone, such as silica shells, have difficulty in achieving responsive fast drug release. Herein, we report the fabrication of mesoporous polyacrylic acid (PAA)/calcium phosphate (CaP) shell-coated PLNPs (PLNPs@PAA/CaP) for improved afterglow bioimaging and drug delivery. The encapsulation of the PAA/CaP shell effectively prolonged the decay time and enhanced the sustained luminescence of PLNPs by about three times due to the passivation of the surface defects of PLNPs by the shell, and the energy transfer between the shell and PLNPs. Meanwhile, the mesoporous structure and negative charge of the PAA/CaP shells enabled the prepared PLNPs@PAA/CaP to carry the positively charged drug doxycycline hydrochloride efficiently. Under the acidic conditions of bacterial infection, the degradation of PAA/CaP shells and the ionization of PAA enabled fast drug release for effective killing of bacteria at the infection site. The excellent persistent luminescence properties, outstanding biocompatibility, and rapid responsive release feature make the prepared PLNPs@PAA/CaP a promising nanoplatform for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Molecular imaging-guided therapy was essential for realizing precise cancer intervention, while designing an imaging platform to achieve autofluorescence-free imaging for dual modal imaging-guided drug delivery remains a challenge. Near-infrared persistent luminescence nanoparticles (NIR PLNPs) were promising for tumor imaging due to no background interference from the tissue. Herein, a persistent luminescent metal-organic framework (PLNPs@MIL-100(Fe)) is prepared via a layer-by-layer method for dual-modal imaging-guided drug delivery. The PLNPs@MIL-100(Fe) exhibit NIR persistent luminescence emitting and T2-weighted signal, achieving precise in vivo dual-modal imaging of tumor-bearing mice by providing high spatial resolution MR imaging and autofluorescence-free NIR imaging. The porous MIL-100(Fe) shell provides PLNPs@MIL-100(Fe) with up to 87.1% drug loading capacity and acid-triggered drug release for drug delivery. We envision that the proposed PLNPs@MIL-100(Fe) platform would provide an effective approach for precise tumor imaging and versatile drug delivery.

Abstract
Cancer nanomedicine combined with immunotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy for the treatment of cancer. However, precise regulation of the activation of antitumor immunity in targeting tissues for safe and effective cancer immunotherapy remains challenging. Herein, we report a tumor acidic microenvironment-responsive promodulator iron oxide nanoparticle (termed as FGR) with pH-activated action for photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic immunotherapy of cancer. FGR is formed via surface-modifying iron oxide nanoparticles with a dextran-conjugated Toll-like receptor agonist (R848) containing an acid-labile bond. In an acidic tumor microenvironment, the acid-responsive bonds are hydrolyzed to trigger the specific release of R848 to promote the maturation of dendritic cells. In addition, iron oxide nanoparticles within FGR exert photothermal and chemodynamic effects under near-infrared laser irradiation to directly kill tumor cells and induce immunogenic cell death. The synergistic effect of the released immunogenic factors and the acid-activated TLR7/8 pathway stimulates the formation of strong antitumor immunity, resulting in increased infiltration of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells into tumor tissues. As a result, FGR achieves acid-responsive on-demand release and activation of modulators in tumor sites and mediates photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic immunotherapy to inhibit the growth and metastasis of melanoma. Therefore, this work proposes a general strategy for designing prodrug nanomedicines to accurately regulate cancer immunotherapy.

[PMID: 36145508 PMCID: PMC9500788 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14091760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Primary liver cancer is the seventh-most-common cancer worldwide and the fourth-leading cause of cancer mortality. In the current era of precision medicine, the diagnosis and management of liver cancer are full of challenges and prospects. Mesoporous nanoparticles are often designed as specific carriers of drugs and imaging agents because of their special morphology and physical and chemical properties. In recent years, the design of the elemental composition and morphology of mesoporous nanoparticles have greatly improved their drug-loading efficiency, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Especially in the field of primary liver cancer, mesoporous nanoparticles have been modified as highly tumor-specific imaging contrast agents and targeting therapeutic medicine. Various generations of complexes and structures have been determined for the complicated clinical management requirements. In this review, we summarize these advanced mesoporous designs in the different diagnostic and therapeutic fields of liver cancer and discuss the relevant advantages and disadvantages of transforming applications. By comparing the material properties, drug-delivery characteristics and application methods of different kinds of mesoporous materials in liver cancer, we try to help determine the most suitable drug carriers and information media for future clinical trials. We hope to improve the fabrication of biomedical mesoporous nanoparticles and provide direct evidence for specific cancer management.
