JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2024; 256:112938. [PMID: 38761749 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2024.112938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, there has been growing interest in size-transformable nanoplatforms that exhibit active responses to acidic microenvironments, presenting promising prospects in the field of nanomedicine for tumor therapy. However, the design and fabrication of such size-adjustable nanotherapeutics pose significant challenges compared to size-fixed nanocomposites, primarily due to their distinct pH-responsive requirements. In this study, we developed pH-activated-aggregating nanosystems to integrate chemotherapy and photothermal therapy by creating size-transformable nanoparticles based on Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) anchored with acid-responsive polyoxometalates (POMs) quantum dots via electrostatic interactions (PPP NPs). Subsequently, we utilized doxorubicin (DOX) as a representative drug to formulate PPPD NPs. Notably, PPPD NPs exhibited a significant response to acidic conditions, resulting in changes in surface charge and rapid aggregation of PPP NPs. Furthermore, the aggregated PPP NPs demonstrated excellent photothermal properties under near-infrared laser irradiation. Importantly, PPPD NPs prolonged their retention time in tumor cells via a size-transformation approach. In vitro cellular assays revealed that the anticancer efficacy of PPPD NPs was significantly enhanced. The IC50 values for the PPPD NPs groupand the PPPD NPs + NIR group were 50.11 μg/mL and 30.9 μg/mL. Overall, this study introduces a novel strategy for cancer therapy by developing size-aggregating nano-drugs with stimuli-responsive properties, holding promise for improved therapeutic outcomes in future combination approaches involving photothermal therapy and chemotherapy.

Colorimetric and Electrochemical Dual-Mode Detection of Thioredoxin 1 Based on the Efficient Peroxidase-Mimicking and Electrocatalytic Property of Prussian Blue Nanoparticles. BIOSENSORS 2024; 14:185.

Abstract
As a potent detection method for cancer biomarkers in physiological fluid, a colorimetric and electrochemical dual-mode sensing platform for breast cancer biomarker thioredoxin 1 (TRX1) was developed based on the excellent peroxidase-mimicking and electrocatalytic property of Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs). PBNPs were hydrothermally synthesized using K3[Fe(CN)6] as a precursor and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping agent. The synthesized spherical PBNPs showed a significant peroxidase-like activity, having approximately 20 and 60% lower Km values for 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and H2O2, respectively, compared to those of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The PBNPs also enhanced the electron transfer on the electrode surface. Based on the beneficial features, PBNPs were used to detect target TRX1 via sandwich-type immunoassay procedures. Using the strategies, TRX1 was selectively and sensitively detected, yielding limit of detection (LOD) values as low as 9.0 and 6.5 ng mL-1 via colorimetric and electrochemical approaches, respectively, with a linear range of 10-50 ng mL-1 in both strategies. The PBNP-based TRX1 immunoassays also exhibited a high degree of precision when applied to real human serum samples, demonstrating significant potentials to replace conventional HRP-based immunoassay systems into rapid, robust, reliable, and convenient dual-mode assay systems which can be widely utilized for the identification of important target molecules including cancer biomarkers.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles (NPs) and Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) can form metal-organic frameworks through the programmable coordination of ferrous ions with cyanide. PB and PBAs represent a burgeoning class of hybrid functional nano-systems with a wide-ranging application spectrum encompassing biomedicine, cancer diagnosis, and therapy. A comprehensive overview of recent advancements is crucial for gaining insights for future research. In this context, we reviewed the synthesis techniques and surface modification strategies employed to tailor the dimensions, morphology, and attributes of PB NPs. Subsequently, we explored advanced biomedical utilities of PB NPs, encompassing photoacoustic imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound (US) imaging, and multimodal imaging. In particular, the application of PB NPs-mediated photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and chemodynamic therapy to cancer treatment was reviewed. Based on the literature, we envision an evolving trajectory wherein the future of Prussian blue-driven biological applications converge into an integrated theranostic platform, seamlessly amalgamating bioimaging and cancer therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Prussian blue, an FDA-approved coordinative pigment with a centuries-long legacy, has paved the way for Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs), renowned for their remarkable biocompatibility and biosafety. These PB NPs have found their niche in biomedicine, playing crucial roles in both diagnostics and therapeutic applications. The comprehensive review goes beyond PB NP-based cancer therapy. Alongside in-depth coverage of PB NP synthesis and surface modifications, the review delves into their cutting-edge applications in the realm of biomedical imaging, encompassing techniques such as photoacoustic imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, and multimodal imaging.

Abstract
Surface modification plays a pivotal role in tailoring the functionalities of a solid material. Introduction of antimicrobial function on material surfaces can provide additional protection against life-threatening bacterial infections. Herein, a simple and universal surface modification method based on surface adhesion and electrostatic interaction of phytic acid (PA) is developed. PA is first functionalized with Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) via metal chelation and then conjugates with cationic polymers (CPs) through electrostatic interaction. With the aid of surface adherent PA and gravitation effect, the as-formed PA-PB-CP network aggregates are deposited on the solid materials in a substrate-independent manner. Synergistic bactericidal effects of "contact-killing" induced by the CPs and localized photothermal effect caused by the PB NPs endow the substrates with strong antibacterial performance. Membrane integrity, enzymatic activity, and metabolism function of the bacteria are disturbed in contact with the PA-PB-CP coating under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. The PA-PB-CP modified biomedical implant surfaces exhibit good biocompatibility and synergistic antibacterial effect under NIR irradiation, and eliminate the adhered bacteria both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is a coordination polymer based on the Fe2+…CN…Fe3+ sequence. It is an FDA-approved drug, intended for oral use at the acidic pH of the stomach and of most of the intestine track. However, based on FDA approval, a huge number of papers proposed the use of PB nanoparticles (PBnp) under "physiological conditions", meaning pH buffered at 7.4 and high saline concentration. While most of these papers report that PBnp are stable at this pH, a small number of papers describes instead PBnp degradation at the same or similar pH values, i.e. in the 7-8 range. Here we give a definitively clear picture: PBnp are intrinsically unstable at pH ≥ 7, degrading with the fast disappearance of their 700 nm absorption band, due to the formation of OH- complexes from the labile Fe3+ centers. However, we show also that the presence of a polymeric coating (PVP) can protect PBnp at pH 7.4 for over 24 h. Moreover, we demonstrate that when "physiological conditions" include serum, a protein corona is rapidly formed on PBnp, efficiently avoiding degradation. We also show that the viability of PBnp-treated EA.hy926, NCI-H1299, and A549 cells is not affected in a wide range of conditions that either prevent or promote PBnp degradation.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS), characterized by a chronic inflammatory disease, is a top cause of morbidity and disability worldwide. During the pathogenesis of AS, the leading process of inflammation highly involves a secondary event of oxidative stress, but limited antioxidants are currently available clinically due to their nonspecific effects, poor biosafety, and rapid in vivo elimination and urinary excretion as well as short retention time within plaque lesions. In this work, Prussian blue nanozymes with a strong reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging ability were rationally engineered for efficient AS nanotherapy. Specifically, the obtained nanozymes with high photothermal performance could behave as potent photoacoustic imaging agents for plaque detection. In addition, these nanozymes featuring multienzyme activities could reduce the cellular ROS level, exert cytoprotective effects against ROS-mediated macrophages apoptosis, and inhibit foam cell formation, significantly boycotting AS development. The underlying mechanism was further verified by transcriptome sequencing at the cellular level and a series of immunohistochemical staining of aortic sinus sections in apoE-/- mice. Finally, the high biocompatibility and biosafety of the engineered Prussian blue nanozymes further guarantee their clinical translation potential for AS management.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is a metal cluster nanoparticle (NP) of cyanide-bridged iron(II)-iron(III) and exhibits a characteristic blue color. Its peroxidase-, catalase-, and superoxide-dismutase-like activities effectively remove excess reactive oxygen species that induce inflammation and tumorigenesis. However, the dispersion of PB NPs is not sufficiently stable for their application in the biomedical field. In this study, we developed Pluronic-stabilized Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB/Plu NPs) using a series of Pluronic triblock copolymers as a template material for PB NPs. Considering the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values of the Pluronic series, including F68, F127, L35, P123, and L81, the diameters of the PB/Plu NPs decreased from 294 to 112 nm with decreasing HLB values. The smallest PB NP stabilized with Pluronic P123 (PB/PP123 NP) showed the strongest antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and wound-healing efficacy because of its large surface area. These results indicated that the spatial distribution of PB NPs in the micelles of Pluronic greatly improved the stability and reactive oxygen species scavenging activity of these NPs. Therefore, PB/Plu NPs using U.S.-FDA-approved Pluronic polymers show potential as biocompatible materials for various biomedical applications, including the treatment of inflammatory diseases in the clinic.

Abstract
In recent years, Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs), also named Prussian blue nano-enzymes, have been shown to demonstrate excellent multi-enzyme simulation activity and anti-inflammatory properties, and can be used as reactive oxygen scavengers. Their good biocompatibility and biodegradability mean that they are ideal candidates for in vivo use. PBNPs are highly efficient electron transporters with oxidation and reduction activities. PBNPs also show considerable promise as nano-drug carriers and biological detection sensors owing to their huge specific surface area, good chemical characteristics, and changeable qualities, which might considerably increase the therapeutic impact. More crucially, PBNPs, as therapeutic and diagnostic agents, have made significant advances in biological nanomedicine. This review begins with a brief description of the synthesis methods of PBNPs, then focuses on the applications of PBNPs in tissue regeneration and inflammation according to the different properties of PBNPs. This article will provide a timely reference for further study of PBNPs as therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Here, a third-stage amplifier indirect probe (TsAIP) based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) was proposed to detect furazolidone (FZD) with Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) as carrier to label the goat anti-mouse antibody-horseradish peroxidase conjugation [GAMA(HRP)]. In this strategy, owing to the fact that one monoclonal antibody (mAb) can combine several GAMA molecules simultaneously, the indirect probe can generate primary signal amplification, then realize second-stage amplification attributing to PBNPs, and finally achieve third-stage amplification because of the conjugated HRP. The TsAIP-based LFIA shows improved performance for FZD metabolite derivative with a detection limit of 1 ng mL-1. The detection range is expanded about 2-fold compared with the original outcome. Besides, the proposed sensor could be successfully applied in food samples. This method provides a platform for broadening the detection range and application of PBNPs based LFIAs.

Prussian Blue Nanozymes with Enhanced Catalytic Activity: Size Tuning and Application in ELISA-like Immunoassay. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12101630. [PMID: 35630852 PMCID: PMC9147909 DOI: 10.3390/nano12101630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2022] [Revised: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Prussian blue nanozymes possessing peroxidase-like activity gather significant attention as alternatives to natural enzymes in therapy, biosensing, and environmental remediation. Recently, Prussian blue nanoparticles with enhanced catalytic activity prepared by reduction of FeCl3/K3[Fe(CN)6] mixture have been reported. These nanoparticles were denoted as ‘artificial peroxidase’ nanozymes. Our study provides insights into the process of their synthesis. We studied how the size of nanozymes and synthesis yield can be controlled via adjustment of the synthesis conditions. Based on these results, we developed a reproducible and scalable method for the preparation of ‘artificial peroxidase’ with tunable sizes and enhanced catalytic activity. Nanozymes modified with gelatin shell and functionalized with affine molecules were applied as labels in colorimetric immunoassays of prostate-specific antigen and tetanus antibodies, enabling detection of these analytes in the range of clinically relevant concentrations. Protein coating provides excellent colloidal stability of nanozymes in physiological conditions and stability upon long-term storage.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease initiated by bacterial infection, developed by excessive immune response, and aggravated by high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Hence, herein, a versatile metal-organic framework (MOF)-based nanoplatform is prepared using mesoporous Prussian blue (MPB) nanoparticles to load BA, denoted as MPB-BA. The established MPB-BA nanoplatform serves as a shelter and reservoir for vulnerable immunomodulatory drug BA, which possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effects. Thus, MPB-BA can exert its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory functions through scavenging intracellular ROS to switch macrophages from M1 to M2 phenotype so as to relieve inflammation. The underlying molecular mechanism lies in the upregulation of phosphorylated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) to scavenge ROS and subsequently inhibit the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signal pathway. Moreover, MPB-BA also exhibited efficient photothermal antibacterial activity against periodontal pathogens under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. In vivo RNA sequencing results revealed the high involvement of both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways after MPB-BA application. Meanwhile, micro-CT and immunohistochemical staining of p-Nrf2 and p-P65 further confirmed the superior therapeutic effects of MPB-BA than minocycline hydrochloride. This work may provide an insight into the treatment of periodontitis by regulating Nrf2/NF-κB signaling pathway through photothermal bioplatform-assisted immunotherapy.

Abstract
To fabricate an efficient Cs ion adsorbent and prevent unexpected loss of Prussian blue (PB) colloidal particles during use, PB was immobilized on the surface of electrospun mesoporous silica nanofibers (MSFs) via a newly developed method of double exposure to Fe (III) ions. To introduce PB on MSFs, the MSFs were functionalized with ethylenediamine moiety to bind to Fe (III) ions, which would firmly anchor PB. MSFs were pretreated with Fe (III) ions and exposed to K4 [Fe(II) (CN)6] to form PB. We found that this process did not provide a sufficient PB amount on the MSFs. To increase the PB amount, after initial PB formation, the MSFs were treated with Fe (III) ions again so that the unreacted K4 [Fe(II) (CN)6] remaining on the MSFs could become PB. An investigation of the adsorption isotherms and kinetics of the nanofibrous adsorbent indicated that monolayer chemisorption had occurred. The maximum Cs ion adsorption capacity using the method of double exposure to Fe (III) ions was determined to be 14.66 mg/g, which was higher by a factor of 2.24 than the case that was not prepared by this method. Cs ions were selectively adsorbed over other cations and could be removed in both acidic and basic conditions, presumably because of the robust MSFs.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs)-based photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising minimally invasive thermal therapy for the treatment of focal malignancies. Although GNPs-based PTT has been known for over two decades and GNPs possess unique properties as therapeutic agents, the delivery of a safe and effective therapy is still an open question. This review aims at providing relevant and recent information on the usage of GNPs in combination with the laser to treat cancers, pointing out the practical aspects that bear on the therapy outcome. Emphasis is given to the assessment of the GNPs' properties and the physical mechanisms underlying the laser-induced heat generation in GNPs-loaded tissues. The main techniques available for temperature measurement and the current theoretical simulation approaches predicting the therapeutic outcome are reviewed. Topical challenges in delivering safe thermal dosage are also presented with the aim to discuss the state-of-the-art and the future perspective in the field of GNPs-mediated PTT.

Abstract
Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) have attracted increasing research interest in immunosensors, bioimaging, drug delivery, and application as therapeutic agents due to their large internal pore volume, tunable size, easy synthesis and surface modification, good thermal stability, and favorable biocompatibility. This review first outlines the effect of tumor markers using PBNPs-based immunosensors which have a sandwich-type architecture and competitive-type structure. Metal ion doped PBNPs which were used as T1-weight magnetic resonance and photoacoustic imaging agents to improve image quality and surface modified PBNPs which were used as drug carriers to decrease side effects via passive or active targeting to tumor sites are also summarized. Moreover, the PBNPs with high photothermal efficiency and excellent catalase-like activity were promising for photothermal therapy and O2 self-supplied photodynamic therapy of tumors. Hence, PBNPs-based multimodal imaging-guided combinational tumor therapies (such as chemo, photothermal, and photodynamic therapies) were finally reviewed. This review aims to inspire broad interest in the rational design and application of PBNPs for detecting and treating tumors in clinical research.

Abstract
Any release of radioactive cesium-137, due to unintentional accidents in nuclear plants, represents a dangerous threat for human health and the environment. Prussian blue has been widely studied and used as an antidote for humans exposed to acute internal contamination by Cs-137, due to its ability to act as a selective adsorption agent and to its negligible toxicity. In the present work, the synthesis protocol has been revisited avoiding the use of organic solvents to obtain Prussian blue nanoparticles with morphological and textural properties, which positively influence its Cs+ binding capacity compared to a commercially available Prussian blue sample. The reduction of the particle size and the increase in the specific surface area and pore volume values compared to the commercial Prussian blue reference led to a more rapid uptake of caesium in simulated enteric fluid solution (+35% after 1 h of contact). Then, after 24 h of contact, both solids were able to remove >98% of the initial Cs+ content. The Prussian blue nanoparticles showed a weak inhibition of the bacterial luminescence in the aqueous phase and no chronic detrimental toxic effects.

Abstract
The use of smart theranostic agents in multimodal imaging and treatment is a promising strategy to overcome the limitations of single mode diagnosis and treatment, and can greatly improve the diagnosis and effects of treatment. In this study, a gold@manganese dioxide (Au@MnO2) core-shell nanostructure was designed as a glutathione (GSH)-triggered smart theranostic agent for photoacoustic and magnetic resonance (MR) dual-imaging-guided photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated not only that the photoacoustic and MR imaging function of Au@MnO2 could be activated by a high endogenous GSH concentration, but also that after being triggered by the endogenous GSH, Au@MnO2 had an excellent synergistic treatment effect in photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy under the guidance of photoacoustic and MR imaging. This study demonstrated that the use of GSH-triggered Au@MnO2 in photoacoustic and MR dual-imaging-guided photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy is a smart theranostic nanoplatform for the accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment of cancer.

They were divided into six groups: blank group (no plasmid transfection), NC group (negative control, transfected empty plasmid), miR-223-3p mimic group (transfected miR-223-3p mimic plasmid), miR-223-3p inhibitor group (transfected miR-223-3p inhibitor plasmid), si-ECT2 group (transfected si ECT2 plasmid) and miR-223-3p mimic+oe-ECT2 group (transfected with miR-223-3p mimic plasmid and ECT2 plasmid). Results Compared with the NC group, the mRNA and protein expression of Bax in miR-223-3p mimic and si-ECT2 groups were significantly increased, while the mRNA and protein expression of ECT2, Bcl-2, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and TGF-β1 were significantly decreased (all P<0.05). Compared with the NC group, the expression of miR-223-3p and the mRNA and protein expression of Bax were significantly decreased in the miR-223-3p inhibitor group, while the mRNA and protein expression of ECT2, Bcl-2, VEGF and TGF-β1 were significantly increased (both P<0.05). Compared with the single processing group, the mRNA and protein expression of Bax in the miR-223-3p mimic+si-ECT2 group were significantly increased, while the mRNA and protein expression of ECT2, Bcl-2, VEGF, and TGF-β1 were significantly decreased (all P<0.05). Conclusion MiR-223-3p targets and inhibits the expression of ECT2, thus inhibiting the invasion and migration of BC cells, and promoting cell apoptosis. miR-223-3p plays a protective role in BC.
