Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 275:133428. [PMID: 38936576 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133428] [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: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
We present a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based nanoplatform (CMGH) integrating starvation therapy (ST), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT) for targeted cancer treatment. CMGH fabrication involved the encapsulation of glucose oxidase (GOx) within a copper-based metal-organic framework (CM) followed by surface modification with HA. CMGH exerts its antitumor effects by catalyzing glucose depletion at tumor sites, leading to tumor cell starvation and the concomitant generation of glucuronic acid and H2O2. The decreased pH and elevated H2O2 promote the Fenton-like reaction of Cu ions, leading to hydroxyl radical production. HA modification enables targeted accumulation of CMGH at tumor sites via the CD44 receptor. Under near-infrared light irradiation, CM exhibits photothermal conversion capability, enhancing the antitumor effects of CMGH. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate the effective inhibition of tumor growth by CMGH. This study highlights the potential of CMGH as a targeted cancer therapeutic platform.

Liu Y, Qi P, Chen G, Lang Z, Wang J, Wang X. Nanoreactor based on single-atom nanoenzymes promotes ferroptosis for cancer immunotherapy. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 157:213758.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is a promising mainstream approach in anti-tumor therapy. It boasts advantages such as durable responses and lower side effects. However, there are still some limitations to be addressed. Current cancer immunotherapy has shown low response rates due to inadequate immunogenicity of certain tumor cells. To address these challenges, an acid-specific nanoreactor was developed, designed to induce immunogenicity by triggering ferroptosis in tumor cells. The nanoreactor integrates glucose oxidase (GOx) with a single-atom nanoenzyme (SAE), which exhibits high peroxidase (POD)-like activity in the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME). This specific acid-sensitivity transforms endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH). GOx enhances the POD-like SAE activity in the nanoreactor by metabolizing glucose in tumor cells, producing gluconic acid and H2O2. This nanoreactor induces high levels of oxidative stress within tumor cells through the synergistic action of SAE and GOx, leading to depletion of GSH and subsequently triggering ferroptosis. The resulting nanoreactor-induced ferroptosis leads to immunogenic cell death (ICD) and significantly recruits T lymphocyte infiltration in tumor tissues. This study was designed with the concept of triggering ferroptosis-dependent ICD mechanism in bladder cancer cells, and developed an acid-specific nanoreactor to enhance the immunotherapy efficacy for bladder cancer, which introduces a novel approach for immunotherapy of bladder cancer.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), a common complication of diabetes, has become a great burden to both patients and the society. The delayed wound closure of ulcer sites resulting from vascular damage and neutrophil dysfunction facilitates bacterial infection. Once drug resistance occurs or bacterial biofilm is formed, conventional therapy tends to fail and amputation is unavoidable. Therefore, effective antibacterial treatment beyond antibiotics is of utmost importance to accelerate the wound healing process and prevent amputation. Considering the complexity of multidrug resistance, biofilm formation, and special microenvironments (such as hyperglycemia, hypoxia, and abnormal pH value) at the infected site of DFU, several antibacterial agents and different mechanisms have been explored to achieve the desired outcome. The present review focuses on the recent progress of antibacterial treatments, including metal-based medications, natural and synthesized antimicrobial peptides, antibacterial polymers, and sensitizer-based therapy. This review provides a valuable reference for the innovation of antibacterial material design for DFU therapy.

Electrospun fibers integrating enzyme-functionalized metal-organic frameworks for postoperative tumor recurrence inhibition and simultaneously wound tissue healing.

Abstract
The tumor recurrence and infected wound tissue defect are the major clinical challenges after the surgical treatment of primary chest wall cancer. Herein, to address the above issues, blending electrospinning was applied to incorporate glucose oxidase (GOx) loaded Zn/Cu-based bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (GOx/BMOFs) into polyurethane (PU) fibers, which were designed for effective cancer therapy with improved wound healing. The release of Cu2+ and GOx could accomplish the conversion from Cu2+ to Cu+ through the glutathione (GSH) depletion and provide additional H2O2 from glucose by GOx catalysis, respectively, which further underwent the Fenton-like reaction to produce toxic hydroxyl radical (OH). The tumor cells (human fibrosarcoma cells) could be effectively killed in vitro and in vivo through the synergistic chemodynamic therapy and starvation therapy. Moreover, the electrospun fiber platform could support the adhesion and proliferation of wound tissue cells, and also show the antibacterial ability owing to the functional agents in the fibers, thereby accelerating the infected wound repair in vivo. This work may offer a reliable and effective fiber biomaterial for localized chest wall tumor therapy and simultaneous tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The wide and frequent use of antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infection can cause the occurrence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, which becomes a serious health threat. Therefore, it is necessary to develop antibiotic-independent treatment modalities. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is defined as the approach employing Fenton and/or Fenton-like reactions for generating hydroxyl radical (•OH) that can kill target cells. Recently, CDT has been successfully employed for antibacterial applications. Apart from the common Fe-mediated CDT strategy, antibacterial CDT strategies mediated by other metal elements such as copper, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, platinum, tungsten, nickel, silver, ruthenium, and zinc have also been proposed. Furthermore, different types of materials like nanomaterials and hydrogels can be adopted for constructing CDT-involved antibacterial platforms. Besides, CDT can introduce some toxic metal elements and then achieve synergistic antibacterial effects together with reactive oxygen species. Finally, CDT can be combined with other therapies such as starvation therapy, phototherapy, and sonodynamic therapy for achieving improved antibacterial performance. This review first summarizes the advancements in antibacterial CDT and then discusses the present limitations and future research directions in this field, hoping to promote the development of more effective materials and strategies for achieving potentiated CDT.
