NIR laser-activated phthalocyanine loaded lipid nanoparticles targeting M2 macrophage for improved photoacoustic imaging-guided photothermal therapy. Mater Today Bio 2024; 28:101209. [PMID: 39221205 PMCID: PMC11364919 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Revised: 08/14/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of novel phototheranostic agents with significant potential in bioimaging-guided therapy is highly desirable for precise tumor therapy. Herein, NIR laser-activated ruthenium phthalocyanine (PcRu) loaded sub-30 nm targeting lipid nanoparticles (α-PcRu-NPs) were fabricated for photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided photothermal therapy (PTT). Due to the formation of J-type aggregation of PcRu in the core of the nanostructure, the α-PcRu-NPs exhibited high stability, efficient NIR absorption, reduced singlet oxygen generation, high photothermal activity, and intense photoacoustic signal. With the M2 macrophage target peptide (M2pep) modification and small size of α-PcRu-NPs, in vivo evaluations reveal that α-PcRu-NPs can specifically target and deeply penetrate the tumor foci. Under a high contrast PAI guidance with α-PcRu-NPs (744 nm, 0.35 μW), it also realizes superior photothermal therapy (PTT) for breast cancer under 670 nm laser irradiation (0.5 W/cm2). The prominent therapeutic efficacy of α-PcRu-NP-based PTT not only directly kills tumor cells, but also enhances the immune response by promoting dendritic cell maturation and increasing cytotoxic T cell infiltration. Thus, this work broadens the applications of phthalocyanine derivatives as phototheranostics in the PAI-guided PTT field.

Molecular folding governs switchable singlet oxygen photoproduction in porphyrin-decorated bistable rotaxanes. Commun Chem 2024; 7:171.

Abstract
Rotaxanes are mechanically interlocked molecules where a ring (macrocycle) is threaded onto a linear molecule (thread). The position of the macrocycle on different stations on the thread can be controlled in response to external stimuli, making rotaxanes applicable as molecular switches. Here we show that bistable rotaxanes based on the combination of a Zn(II) tetraphenylporphyrin photosensitizer, attached to the macrocycle, and a black-hole-quencher, attached to the thread, are capable of singlet oxygen production which can be switched on/off by the addition of base/acid. However, we found that only a sufficiently long linker between both stations on the thread enabled switchability, and that the direction of switching was inversed with regard to the original design. This unexpected behavior was attributed to intramolecular folding of the rotaxanes, as indicated by extensive theoretical calculations. This evidences the importance to take into account the conformational flexibility of large molecular structures when designing functional switchable systems.

Abstract
Creating new tools for the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer is one of the most important and intensively developing areas of modern medicine. Currently, photodynamic cancer therapy (PDT) is attracting increasing attention as a unique modality of minimally invasive treatment and due to the absence of acquired resistance. However, PDT is associated with undesirable activities, such as non-specific photodynamic effects of sunlight on healthy tissues. Therefore, an important fundamental task is the development of improved PDT agents that selectively act on the affected areas. Here, we report the development of a hybrid protein-peptide system for the selective pH-dependent binding and subsequent photodynamic cancer cells ablation. It is known that a distinctive feature of cancer cells is a decreased pH level in the extracellular space. In this study we exploited a peptide fragment (pHLIP) as a targeting module, which spontaneously binds and embeds into the cell membrane when pH decreases below neutral. A mutant of miniSOG protein fused to pHLIP was used as a photosensitizing constituent. We demonstrate that this protein-peptide photosensitizing system selectively binds to HeLa cells at pH below 6.8 and kills them when exposed to light. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of using genetically encoded MiniSOG fusions with pHLIP for the targeted delivery of PSs to cancer cells and subsequent highly precise photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Owing to their long absorption wavelengths, high molar absorptivity, and tunable photosensitivity, phthalocyanines have been widely used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, phthalocyanines still face the drawbacks of poor targeting, "always-on" photosensitizing properties, and unsatisfactory therapeutic efficiency, which limit their wide applications in biomedical fields. Thus, new design strategies such as modification of targeting molecules, formation of nanoparticles, and activating photosensitizers are developed to improve the above defects. Notably, recent studies have shown that novel phthalocyanines are not only used in fluorescence imaging and PDT, but also in photoacoustic imaging, photothermal imaging, sonodynamic therapy, and photothermal therapy. This review focuses on recent design strategies, applications in biomedicine, and clinical development of phthalocyanines, providing ideas and references for the design and application of phthalocyanine, so as to promote their future transformation into clinical applications.

Abstract
A disorder of cholesterol homeostasis is one of the main initiating factors in the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). Metabolism and removal of excess cholesterol facilitates the prevention of foam cell formation. However, the failure of treatment with drugs (e.g. methotrexate, MTX) to effectively regulate progression of disease may be related to the limited drug bioavailability and rapid clearance by immune system. Thus, based on the inflammatory lesion "recruitment" properties of macrophages, MTX nanoparticles (MTX NPs) camouflaged with macrophage membranes (MM@MTX NPs) were constructed for the target to AS plaques. MM@MTX NPs exhibited a uniform hydrodynamic size around ~ 360 nm and controlled drug release properties (~ 72% at 12 h). After the macrophage membranes (MM) functionalized "homing" target delivery to AS plaques, MM@MTX NPs improved the solubility of cholesterol by the functionalized β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) component and significantly elevate cholesterol efflux by the loaded MTX mediated the increased expression levels of ABCA1, SR-B1, CYP27A1, resulting in efficiently inhibiting the formation of foam cells. Furthermore, MM@MTX NPs could significantly reduce the area of plaque, aortic plaque and cholesterol crystals deposition in ApoE-/- mice and exhibited biocompatibility. It is suggested that MM@MTX NPs were a safe and efficient therapeutic platform for AS.

Abstract
The clinical applications of phototherapy nanomaterials are still limited due to concerns regarding their phototoxicity and efficacy. Herein, we report a novel type of D-π-A molecular backbone that induces type I/II photosensitivity and photodegradability by forming J-aggregates. The photodegradation rate can be regulated by changing the donor groups to regulate the photosensitivity of their aggregates because the photodegradability performance results from their oxidation by 1O2 generated by their type II photosensitivity. AID4 NPs possess faster photodegradation because of their better type I&II photosensitivity, which can also self-regulate by inhibiting type II and improving type I under hypoxic conditions. Moreover, they exhibited good photothermal and photoacoustic performance for improving their therapeutic effect by a synergistic effect and achieving photoacoustic imaging in vivo. The experimental result also showed that they can be effective for antibacterial and anti-tumor treatment and the photodegradation products of AID4 NPs possess low biological toxicity in the dark or under light. This study could provide a novel strategy for improving the safety and treatment effects of phototherapy.

Abstract
Dental caries is a common and costly multifactorial biofilm disease caused by cariogenic bacteria that ferment carbohydrates to lactic acid, demineralizing the inorganic component of teeth. Therefore, low pH (pH 4.5) is a characteristic signal of the localised carious environment, compared to a healthy oral pH range (6.8 to 7.4). The development of pH-responsive delivery systems that release antibacterial agents in response to low pH has gained attention as a targeted therapy for dental caries. Release is triggered by high levels of acidogenic species and their reduction may select for the establishment of health-associated biofilm communities. Moreover, drug efficacy can be amplified by the modification of the delivery system to target adhesion to the plaque biofilm to extend the retention time of antimicrobial agents in the oral cavity. In this review, recent developments of different pH-responsive nanocarriers and their biofilm targeting mechanisms are discussed. This review critically discusses the current state of the art and innovations in the development and use of smart delivery materials for dental caries treatment. The authors' views for the future of the field are also presented.

Abstract
It is a challenge to design photosensitizers to balance between the tumor-targeting enrichment for precise treatment and efficient clearance within a reasonable timescale for reducing side effects. Herein, an ultra-small nano-photosensitizer 1a with excellent tumor-specific accumulation and renal clearance is reported. It is formed from the self-assembly of compound 1 bearing three triethylene glycol (TEG) arms and two pyridinium groups in water. The positively charged surface with neutral TEG coating enables 1a to efficiently target the tumor, with the signal-to-background ratio reaching as high as 11.5 after tail intravenous injection. The ultra-small size of 1a with an average diameter of 5.6 nm allows its fast clearance through kidney. Self-assembly also endows 1a with an 18.2-fold enhancement of reactive oxygygen species generation rate compared to compound 1 in organic solution. Nano-PS 1a manifests an excellent photodynamic therapy efficacy on tumor-bearing mouse models. This work provides a promising design strategy of photosensitizers with renal clearable and tumor-targeting ability.

Abstract
In the past two decades, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become an effective method for the treatment of cancer. However, the posttreatment residue of photodynamic agents (PDAs) causes long-term skin phototoxicity. Here, we apply naphthalene-derived, box-like tetracationic cyclophanes, named NpBoxes, to bind to clinically used porphyrin-based PDAs to alleviate their posttreatment phototoxicity by reducing their free content in skin tissues and 1O2 quantum yield. We show that one of the cyclophanes, 2,6-NpBox, could include the PDAs to efficiently suppress their photosensitivity for the generation of reactive oxygen species. A tumour-bearing mouse model study revealed that, when Photofrin, the most widely used PDA in clinic, was administrated at a dose corresponding to the clinical one, 2,6-NpBox of the same dose could significantly suppress its posttreatment phototoxicity on the skin induced by simulated sunlight irradiation, without imposing a negative influence on its PDT efficacy.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) reflects a novel reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related cancer therapeutic approach. However, CDT monotherapy is often limited by weak efficacy and insufficient endogenous H2O2. Herein, a multifunctional combined bioreactor (MnFe-LDH/MTX@GOx@Ta, MMGT) relying on MnFe-layered double hydroxide (MnFe-LDH) loaded with methotrexate (MTX) and coated with glucose oxidase (GOx)/tannin acid (Ta) is established for applications in H2O2 self-supply and photothermal enhanced chemo/chemodynamic combined therapy along with photothermal (PT) /magnetic resonance (MR) dual-modality imaging ability for cancer treatment. Once internalized into tumor cells, MMGT achieves starvation therapy by catalyzing the oxidation of glucose with GOx, accompanied by the regeneration of H2O2, enabling a Fenton-like reaction to accomplish GOx catalytic amplified CDT. Moreover, MMGT manifests significant tumor-killing ability through improved CDT performance with outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 52.2%) under 808 nm laser irradiation. In addition, the release of Mn2+ from MnFe-LDH in a solid tumor can significantly enhance T1-contrast MR imaging signals. Combined with MnFe-LDH-induced PT imaging under 808 nm laser irradiation, a dual-modality imaging directed theranostic nanoplatform has been developed. The present study provides a new strategy to design H2O2 self-supply and ROS evolving NIR light-absorption theranostic nanoagent for highly efficient and combined chemo/chemodynamic cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been widely used for the local treatment of a variety of cancer. To improve the therapeutic effect, delicate nanoparticles loading photosensitizers (PSs) have been designed to improve the accumulation of PSs in tumor. Different from the anti-cancer drugs for chemotherapy or immunotherapy, the delivery of PSs requires rapid tumor accumulation followed by quick elimination to reduce the potential risk of phototoxicity. However, owing to the nature of prolonged blood circulation of the nanoparticles, the conventional nanoparticulate delivery systems may decelerate the clearance of PSs. Here, we present a tumor-targeted delivery approach termed "IgG-hitchhiking" strategy through a self-assembled PSs nanostructure, according to the intrinsic binding between the photosensitizer pheophorbide A (PhA) and immunoglobulin (IgG). We utilize the intravital fluorescence microscopic imaging to uncover that the nanostructures (IgG:PhA NPs) increase the extravasation of PhA into tumor within the first hour post intravenous injection compared with free PhA, correlating with an improved efficacy of PDT. After ∼1 h post-injection, a quick decrease in the PhA amount in the tumor is observed, while the tumor IgG level is continuously increasing. The disparity of the tumor distribution between PhA and IgG allows the quick elimination of the PSs for minimized skin phototoxicity. Our results provide a direct evidence of the enhanced accumulation and elimination of the PSs in the tumor microenvironment through the "IgG-hitchhiking" approach. This strategy presents a promising tumor-targeted delivery approach for the PSs in lieu of the existing strategy for enhanced PDT with minimal toxicity in clinic.

Abstract
Photoactivation therapy based on photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) has been identified as a tumour ablation modality for numerous cancer indications, with photosensitisers and photothermal conversion agents playing important roles in the phototherapy process, especially in recent decades. In addition, the iteration of nanotechnology has strongly promoted the development of phototherapy in tumour treatment. PDT can increase the sensitivity of tumour cells to PTT by interfering with the tumour microenvironment, whereas the heat generated by PTT can increase blood flow, improve oxygen supply and enhance the PDT therapeutic effect. In addition, tumour cell debris generated by phototherapy can serve as tumour-associated antigens, evoking antitumor immune responses. In this review, the research progress of phototherapy, and its research effects in combination with immunotherapy on the treatment of tumours are mainly outlined, and issues that may need continued attention in the future are raised.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The discovery of a potent photosensitizer with desirable immunogenic cell death (ICD) ability can prominently enhance antitumor immunity in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, majority of commercially-available photosensitizers suffer from serious aggregation and fail to elicit sufficient ICD. Pyroptosis as a newly identified pattern for potent ICD generation is rarely disclosed in reported photosensitizers. In addition, the photosensitizer with excellent mitochondria-anchored ability evokes prominent mitochondria oxidative stress, and consequently induces ICD. RESULTS Herein, a novel supramolecular photosensitizer LDH@ZnPc is reported, without complicated preparation, but reveals desirable pyroptosis-triggered ability with mitochondria anchoring feature. LDH@ZnPc is obtained through isolation of ZnPc using positive charged layered double hydroxides (LDH), and excellent mitochondria-anchored ability is achieved. More importantly, LDH@ZnPc-mediated PDT can effectively initiate gasdermin D (GSDMD)-dependent pyroptosis of tumor cells. In vitro and in vivo results verify robust ICD ability and potent tumor inhibition efficacy, and antitumor immunity towards distant tumor inhibition. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals that LDH@ZnPc can act as an excellent pyroptosis inducer with simultaneous mitochondria anchoring ability for enhancing photodynamic therapy and boosting antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Purpose Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive therapeutic modality that is used for several types of cancer and involves three essential elements (light, photosensitizer (PS), and oxygen). However, clinical PS is limited by the low yield of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a long retention time. Therefore, developing a low-cost PS that can significantly increase ROS yield in a short time is of utmost importance. Methods In this study, brusatol (Bru) was loaded on the surface of ultraviolet A (UVA)-responsive zinc oxide (ZnO)-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@ZnO-Bru). The PS was well characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), a superconducting quantum interference device, and dynamic light scattering (DLS). 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and Hoechst staining were used to determine the inhibitory effect of Fe3O4@ZnO-Bru on squamous cell carcinoma cells (SCC) with or without UVA radiation. Intracellular ROS levels and expression of the Nrf2 signaling pathway were also determined. Results FTIR showed that Bru was successfully loaded on Fe3O4@ZnO. Fe3O4@ZnO-Bru was superparamagnetic, and the zeta potential was 8.86 ± 0.77 mV. The Bru release behavior was controlled by UVA. Fe3O4@ZnO-Bru with UVA irradiation induced an increase of 48% ROS productivity compared to Fe3O4@ZnO-Bru without UVA irradiation, resulting in a strong inhibitory effect on SCC. Furthermore, Fe3O4@ZnO-Bru nanocomposites (Fe3O4@ZnO-Bru NCs) had nearly no toxic effect on healthy cells without UVA radiation. The released Bru could significantly inhibit the Nrf2 signaling pathway to reduce the activity of scavenging excess ROS in SCC. Conclusion In this study, Fe3O4@ZnO-Bru was successfully synthesized. PDT was combined with photochemotherapy, which exhibited a higher inhibitory effect on SCC. It can be inferred that Fe3O4@ZnO-Bru holds great potential for skin SCC therapy.

Abstract
Against the backdrop of increased public health awareness, inorganic nanomaterials have been widely explored as promising nanoagents for various kinds of biomedical applications. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), with versatile physicochemical advantages including excellent biocompatibility, pH-sensitive biodegradability, highly tunable chemical composition and structure, and ease of composite formation with other materials, have shown great promise in biomedical applications. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recent advances in LDH-based nanomaterials for biomedical applications. Firstly, the material categories and advantages of LDH-based nanomaterials are discussed. The preparation and surface modification of LDH-based nanomaterials, including pristine LDHs, LDH-based nanocomposites and LDH-derived nanomaterials, are then described. Thereafter, we systematically describe the great potential of LDHs in biomedical applications including drug/gene delivery, bioimaging diagnosis, cancer therapy, biosensing, tissue engineering, and anti-bacteria. Finally, on the basis of the current state of the art, we conclude with insights on the remaining challenges and future prospects in this rapidly emerging field.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), as natural carriers of bioactive cargo, have a unique micro/nanostructure, bioactive composition, and characteristic morphology, as well as fascinating physical, chemical and biochemical features, which have shown promising application in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. However, native EVs have limitations such as lack of or inefficient cell targeting, on-demand delivery, and therapeutic feedback. Recently, EVs have been engineered to contain an intelligent core, enabling them to (i) actively target sites of disease, (ii) respond to endogenous and/or exogenous signals, and (iii) provide treatment feedback for optimal function in the host. These advances pave the way for next-generation nanomedicine and offer promise for a revolution in drug delivery. Here, we summarise recent research on intelligent EVs and discuss the use of "intelligent core" based EV systems for the treatment of disease. We provide a critique about the construction and properties of intelligent EVs, and challenges in their commercialization. We compare the therapeutic potential of intelligent EVs to traditional nanomedicine and highlight key advantages for their clinical application. Collectively, this review aims to provide a new insight into the design of next-generation EV-based theranostic platforms for disease treatment.

Abstract
Treatments for low colorectal cancer (CRC) remain a great challenge due to the heavy physical and psychological burdens of colostomy, strong drug toxicity in chemotherapy, and myelosuppression-/chemoradiation-related gastrointestinal symptoms. In this study, a highly biosafe and effective tumor cell dissociation-based low CRC treatment modality has been verified on both PDOs in vitro and colorectal tumor models in vivo. Notably, controllable EDTA release at the tumor sites was achieved by the LDH degradation in response to a slightly acidic microenvironment of low CRC tumors. Resultantly, the intratumoral E-cadherin for intercellular junctions of low CRC tumors was effectively destroyed via Ca2+ depletion by released EDTA from the interlayers, initiating remarkable tumor cell dissociation and resultant tumor disaggregation/removal via defecation. Dissociated tumor cells were prevailingly enveloped by LDH/EDTA, which prevented them from readhering to adjacent tissues, providing an unprecedented, efficient and safe therapeutic modality for low CRC, which will benefit patients suffering low CRC.

Abstract
The delivery and activation of photosensitizers in a specific manner is crucial in photodynamic therapy. For an antitumoral application, it can confine the photodynamic action on the cancer cells, thereby enhancing the treatment efficacy and reducing the side effects. We report herein a novel supramolecular photosensitizing nanosystem that can be specifically activated in cancer cells and tumors that overexpress epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It involves the self-assembly of the amphiphilic host-guest complex of a β-cyclodextrin-conjugated phthalocyanine-based photosensitizer (Pc-CD) and a ferrocene-substituted poly(ethylene glycol) (Mn = 2000) (Fc-PEG) in aqueous media. The resulting nanosystem Pc-CD@Fc-PEG with a hydrodynamic diameter of 124-147 nm could not emit fluorescence and generate reactive oxygen species due to the self-quenching effect and the ferrocene-based quencher. Upon interactions with molecules of adamantane substituted with an EGFR-targeting peptide (Ad-QRH*) in water and in EGFR-positive HT29 and A431 cells, the ferrocene guest species were displaced, resulting in disassembly of the nanoparticles and restoration of these photoactivities. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration values were down to 1.24 μM (for HT29 cells). The nanosystem Pc-CD@Fc-PEG could also be activated in an Ad-QRH*-treated HT29 tumor in nude mice, leading to increased intratumoral fluorescence intensity and effective eradication of the tumor upon laser irradiation. The results showed that this two-step supramolecular approach can actualize site-specific photosensitization and minimize nonspecific phototoxicity in a general photodynamic treatment.

Abstract
Smart phototheranostic nanomaterials are of significant interest for high-quality imaging and targeted therapy in the precision medicine field. Herein, a nanoscale photosensitizer (NanoPcM) is constructed through the self-assembly of morpholine-substituted silicon phthalocyanine (PcM) and albumin. NanoPcM displays a turn-on fluorescence depending on the acid-induced abolition of the photoinduced electron transfer effect (change in molecular structure) and disassembly of the nanostructure (change in supramolecular structure), which enables low-background and tumor-targeted fluorescence imaging. In addition, its efficient type I photoreaction endows NanoPcM with a superior immunogenic photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect against solid tumors. The combination of NanoPcM-based PDT and αPD-1-based immunotherapy can efficiently inhibit tumor growth, reduce spontaneous lung metastasis, and trigger abscopal effects. This study should provide a perspective for the future design of nanomaterials as promising phototheranostics for cancer imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Dental caries is a biofilm-related preventable infectious disease caused by interactions between the oral bacteria and the host’s dietary sugars. As the microenvironments in cariogenic biofilms are often acidic, pH-sensitive drug delivery systems have become innovative materials for dental caries prevention in recent years. In the present study, poly(DMAEMA-co-HEMA) was used as a pH-sensitive carrier to synthesize a chlorhexidine (CHX)-loaded nanomaterial (p(DH)@CHX). In vitro, p(DH)@CHX exhibited good pH sensitivity and a sustained and high CHX release rate in the acidic environment. It also exhibited lower cytotoxicity against human oral keratinocytes (HOKs) compared to free CHX. Besides, compared with free CHX, p(DH)@CHX showed the same antibacterial effects on S. mutans biofilms. In addition, it had no effect on eradicating healthy saliva-derived biofilm, while free CHX exhibited an inhibitory effect. Furthermore, the 16s rDNA sequencing results showed that p(DH)@CHX had the potential to alter oral microbiota composition and possibly reduce caries risk. In conclusion, the present study presents an alternative option to design an intelligent material to prevent and treat dental caries.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver tumor. It is ranked the sixth most common neoplasm and the third most common cause of cancer mortality. At present, the most common treatment for HCC is surgery, but the 5-year recurrence rates are still high. Patients with early stage HCC with few nodules can be treated with resection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA); while for multinodular HCC, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been the first-line treatment. In recent years, based on medical engineering cooperation, nanotechnology has been increasingly applied to the treatment of cancer. Photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy are effective for cancer. This paper summarizes the latest progress of photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy for HCC, with the aim of providing new ideas for the treatment of HCC.

Abstract
Cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes are promising candidates as photosensitizers (PSs) in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The challenge in PDT is the selective killing of cancerous cells over the neighboring normal cells. In this work, a pH-responsive cyclometalated iridium(III) complex (probe 1) was designed and synthesized as an effective PS to selectively kill cancerous cells, with 3-(2-pyridyl)benzaldehyde used as the main ligand and 1-(2-pyridyl)-β-carboline used as an ancillary ligand. Probe 1 shows enhanced photoluminescence emission and higher 1O2 quantum yield in an acidic environment compared to a neutral solution, which led to remarkable phototoxicity toward cancerous cells and high selectivity for killing cancerous cells over normal cells within 10 min. This work demonstrates that the cyclometalated iridium(III) complex with acidic pH-responsive photoluminescence emission and high 1O2 generation is an effective alternative PS for selectively killing cancerous cells.

Abstract
Recently, second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescent imaging has been widely applied in biomedical diagnosis, due to its high spatiotemporal resolution and deep tissue penetration. In contrast to the "always on" NIR-II fluorescent probes, the activatable NIR-II fluorescent probes have specific targeting to biological tissues, showing a higher imaging signal-to-background ratio and a lower detection limit. Therefore, it is of great significance to utilize disease-associated endogenous stimuli (such as pH values, enzyme existence, hypoxia condition and so on) to activate the NIR-II probes and achieve switchable fluorescent signals for specific deep bioimaging. This review introduces recent strategies and mechanisms for activatable NIR-II fluorescent probes and their applications in biosensing and bioimaging. Moreover, the potential challenges and perspectives of activatable NIR-II fluorescent probes are also discussed.

Abstract
In recent years tremendous effort has been invested in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment with an overall goal of improving cancer management, therapeutic outcome, patient survival, and quality of life. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), which works on the principle of light-induced activation of photosensitizers (PS) leading to Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) mediated cancer cell killing has received increased attention as a promising alternative to overcome several limitations of conventional cancer therapies. Compared to conventional therapies, PDT offers the advantages of selectivity, minimal invasiveness, localized treatment, and spatio-temporal control which minimizes the overall therapeutic side effects and can be repeated as needed without interfering with other treatments and inducing treatment resistance. Overall PDT efficacy requires proper planning of various parameters like localization and concentration of PS at the tumor site, light dose, oxygen concentration and heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment, which can be achieved with advanced imaging techniques. Consequently, there has been tremendous interest in the rationale design of PS formulations to exploit their theranostic potential to unleash the imperative contribution of medical imaging in the context of successful PDT outcomes. Further, recent advances in PS formulations as activatable phototheranostic agents have shown promising potential for finely controlled imaging-guided PDT due to their propensity to specifically turning on diagnostic signals simultaneously with photodynamic effects in response to the tumor-specific stimuli. In this review, we have summarized the recent progress in the development of PS-based multifunctional theranostic agents for biomedical applications in multimodal imaging combined with PDT. We also present the role of different imaging modalities; magnetic resonance, optical, nuclear, acoustic, and photoacoustic in improving the pre-and post-PDT effects. We anticipate that the information presented in this review will encourage future development and design of PSs for improved image-guided PDT for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an approved and promising treatment approach that utilizes a photosensitizer (PS) to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) through irradiation to achieve tumor noninvasive therapy. However, the limited singlet oxygen generation, the nonspecific uptake of PS in normal cells, and tumor hypoxia have become major challenges in conventional PDT, impeding its development and further clinical application. This review summarizes an overview of recent advances for the enhanced PDT. The development of PDT with innovative strategies, including molecular engineering and heavy atom-free photosensitizers is presented and future directions in this promising field are also provided. This review aims to highlight the recent advances in PDT and discuss the potential strategies that show promise in overcoming the challenges of PDT.

Abstract
In the endeavor of extending the clinical use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of superficial cancers and other neoplastic diseases, deeper knowledge and control of the subcellular processes that determine the response of photosensitizers (PS) are needed. Recent strategies in this direction involve the use of activatable and nanostructured PS. Here, both capacities have been tuned in two dendritic zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) derivatives, either asymmetrically or symmetrically substituted with 3 and 12 copies of the carbohydrate sialic acid (SA), respectively. Interestingly, the amphiphilic ZnPc-SA biohybrid (1) self-assembles into well-defined nanoaggregates in aqueous solution, facilitating cellular internalization and transport whereas the PS remains inactive. Within the cells, these nanostructured hybrids localize in the lysosomes, as usually happens for anionic and hydrophilic aggregated PS. Yet, in contrast to most of them (e. g., compound 2), hybrid 1 recovers the capacity for photoinduced ROS generation within the target organelles due to its amphiphilic character; this allows disruption of aggregation when the compound is inserted into the lysosomal membrane, with the concomitant highly efficient PDT response.

Biomaterials 2021; 275:120959. [PMID: 34147717 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2021.120959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Revised: 05/31/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Nanotechnology provides a powerful tool to overcome many disadvantages of small-molecule photosensitizers for photodynamic cancer therapy, such as hydrophobicity, rapid blood clearance, low accumulation in tumor tissue and low cell penetration, etc. The occurrence of quench in photosensitizer-loaded nanoparticle greatly downregulates the ability to generate singlet oxygen with light irradiation. Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers can improve the efficacy of PDT to a certain extent. However, insufficient release of photosensitizer from either endogenous or exogenous stimuli responsive nanocarriers in the short period of light irradiation restricts full usage of the photosensitizer delivered into cancer cells. We here report a dual-step light irradiation strategy to enhance the efficacy of cancer PDT. Ce6 as a photosensitizer is loaded in singlet oxygen-sensitive micelles (Ce6-M) via self-assembly of amphiphilic polymer mPEG2000-TK-C16. After co-incubation of Ce6-M with cancer cells or i.v. injection of Ce6-M, cancer cells or tumor tissues are irradiated with light for a short time to trigger Ce6 release, and 2 h later, re-irradiated for relatively long time. The sufficient release of Ce6 in the period between twice light irradiation significantly improves the generation of singlet oxygen, leading to more efficient cancer therapeutic effects of dual-step irradiation than that of single-step irradiation for the same total irradiation time.

Abstract
Subcellular organelles are the cornerstones of cells, and destroying them will cause cell dysfunction and even death. Therefore, realizing precise organelle targeting of photosensitizers (PSs) can help reduce PS dosage, minimize side effects, avoid drug resistance, and enhance therapeutic efficacy in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Organelle-targeted PSs provide a new paradigm for the construction of the next generation of PSs and may provide implementable strategies for future precision medicine. In this Review, the recent targeting strategies of different organelles and the corresponding design principles of molecular and nanostructured PSs are summarized and discussed. The current challenges and opportunities in organelle-targeted PDT are also presented.

Abstract
Developing drug delivery platforms that can modulate a tumor microenvironment and deliver multiple therapeutics to targeted tumors is critical for efficient cancer treatment. Achieving these platforms still remains a great challenge. Herein, biodegradable nanocapsules based on MnFe hydroxides (H-MnFe(OH)x) have been developed as a new type of cargo delivery with high loading capacity and catalytic activity, enabling synergetic therapy with promoted efficacy by relieving hypoxia in tumor tissues. As a proof of concept, a photosensitizer (indocyanine green, ICG) and a chemotherapeutic drug (doxorubicin, DOX) are co-loaded in nanocapsules and selectively released upon degradation of the nanocapsules in the acidic tumor microenvironment, and are promoted by near infrared irradiation. Meanwhile, Mn2+/Fe3+ ions released from the degradation of nanocapsules catalyze the conversion of H2O2 in a tumor microenvironment into oxygen, which modulates tumor hypoxia and dramatically boosts multimodal therapies. Remarkable synergistic anticancer outcomes have been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo, paving the way towards future multifunctional therapeutic platforms.

Synthetic infrared nano-photosensitizers with hierarchical zoom-in target-delivery functionalities for precision photodynamic therapy. J Control Release 2021; 334:263-274.

Abstract
Surgical assailment at the vulnerable subcellular organelles (e.g. mitochondria) by photodynamic therapy (PDT) is perceived as the most devastating approach to eradicate the tumors. Herein, we programmed a novel near-infrared (NIR) PDT construct illustrating appreciable hierarchical zoom-in targeting scenario, namely, primary cell-level targeting to carcinoma post systemic dosage and subcellular level targeting to mitochondria. Pertaining to tumor-targeting function, charge reversal chemistry selectively responsive to acidic tumoral microenvironments (pH 6.8) was implemented as the external corona of PDT constructs. This charge transformative exterior entitled minimal biointerfacial reactions in systemic retention but intimate affinities to cytomembranes selectively in tumoral microenvironments, thereby resulting in preferential uptake by tumors. Furthermore, the proposed PDT constructs were equipped with mitochondria targeting triphenylphosphonium (TPP) motif, which appeared to propel intriguing 88% colocalization with mitochondria. Therefore, overwhelming cytotoxic potencies were accomplished by our carefully engineered photodynamic constructs. Another noteworthy is the photodynamic constructs characterized to be excited at tissue-penetrating NIR (980 nm) based on energy transfer between their internal components of anti-Stoke upconversion nanoparticles (UCN, donor) and photodynamic chlorin e6 (Ce6, acceptor). Therefore, practical applications for photodynamic treatment of intractable solid carcinoma were greatly facilitated and complete tumor eradication was achieved by systemic administration of the ultimate multifunctional NIR photodynamic constructs.

Abstract
Photoactivatable molecules enable ablation of malignant cells under the control of light, yet current agents can be ineffective at early stages of disease when target cells are similar to healthy surrounding tissues. In this work, we describe a chemical platform based on amino-substituted benzoselenadiazoles to build photoactivatable probes that mimic native metabolites as indicators of disease onset and progression. Through a series of synthetic derivatives, we have identified the key chemical groups in the benzoselenadiazole scaffold responsible for its photodynamic activity, and subsequently designed photosensitive metabolic warheads to target cells associated with various diseases, including bacterial infections and cancer. We demonstrate that versatile benzoselenadiazole metabolites can selectively kill pathogenic cells - but not healthy cells - with high precision after exposure to non-toxic visible light, reducing any potential side effects in vivo. This chemical platform provides powerful tools to exploit cellular metabolic signatures for safer therapeutic and surgical approaches.

Abstract
Recent advances in nanotechnology have forced the obtaining of new materials with multiple functionalities. Due to their reduced dimensions, nanomaterials exhibit outstanding physio-chemical functionalities: increased absorption and reactivity, higher surface area, molar extinction coefficients, tunable plasmonic properties, quantum effects, and magnetic and photo properties. However, in the biomedical field, it is still difficult to use tools made of nanomaterials for better therapeutics due to their limitations (including non-biocompatible, poor photostabilities, low targeting capacity, rapid renal clearance, side effects on other organs, insufficient cellular uptake, and small blood retention), so other types with controlled abilities must be developed, called "smart" nanomaterials. In this context, the modern scientific community developed a kind of nanomaterial which undergoes large reversible changes in its physical, chemical, or biological properties as a consequence of small environmental variations. This systematic mini-review is intended to provide an overview of the newest research on nanosized materials responding to various stimuli, including their up-to-date application in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Cancer has become a severe threat to human life due to its high mortality and metastatic rate. Effective inhibition and killing of cancer cells using chemotherapeutic drugs have been a promising means in clinical cancer therapy. However, the low selectivity, drug-resistance, uncontrollability and serious side effects of chemotherapy significantly limit its further development. There is an urgent need for new treatment strategies to compensate for deficiencies inherent in chemotherapy alone. A growing body of research shows that combined treatment strategies have the potential to overcome this dilemma by achieving significantly enhanced synergistic effects and reduced side effects. Emerging phase change materials (PCMs) create an ideal nanoplatform for cancer combination therapy due to their universal loading properties, stable and temperature-responsive phase transition capability, and excellent natural biocompatibility/biodegradability. The release of therapeutic agents can be precisely controlled through external, non-intrusive stimuli (such as NIR light and ultrasound), avoiding systemic toxicity associated with conventional chemotherapy. Herein, the construction methods and design principles of PCM-based nanoplatforms serving as strict gatekeeper and smart payload delivery systems are discussed in detail. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of these nanoplatforms are provided. A suitable discussion and perspective of the remaining challenges and future opportunities for PCM-based nanoplatforms in cancer treatment are also given in conclusion.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy, mainly relies on phototherapeutic agents (PAs) to produce heat or toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill tumors. It has attracted wide attention due to its merits of noninvasive properties and negligible drug resistance. However, the phototoxicity of conventional PAs is one of the main challenges for its potential clinical application. This is mainly caused by the uncontrolled distribution of PA in vivo, as well as the inevitable damage to healthy cells along the light path. Ensuring the generation of ROS or heat specific at tumor site is the key for precise tumor phototherapy. In this review, the progress of targeted delivery of PA and activatable phototherapy strategies based on nanocarriers for precise tumor therapy is summarized. The research progress of passive targeting, active targeting, and activatable targeting strategies in the delivery of PA is also described. Then, the switchable nanosystems for tumor precise phototherapy in response to tumor microenvironment, including pH, glutathione (GSH), protein, and nucleic acid, are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of nanocarrier-based precise phototherapy are discussed for clinical application in the future.

Abstract
Background To investigate the efficacy of a PLGA-based nanobody complex in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and NIR-II imaging in A549 tumor hypoxic model. Method IR1048-MZ was firstly synthesized by conjugating a nitro imidazole group to IR1048. IR1048-MZ and Cat were then encapsulated in PLGA-SH solution. Anti-EGFR-Nanobody was also expressed and purified, and finally Anti-EGFR-Nanobody@PLGA-IR1048MZ-Cat (Nb@IC-NPs) nanobody complex was obtained based on the formation of desulfide bond between PLGA-SH and Anti-EGFR-Nanobody. Size distribution and morphology were characterized by TEM and DLS. Spectrum of Nb@IC-NPs towards NTR was measured by UV and fluorescence, while the particle’s selective response was studied using fluorescence. The uptake of Nb@IC-NPs in A549 cells was observed by flow cytometry and CLSM. In the meantime, its’ catalytic ability that decomposes H2O2 both extra-and intra-cellular was observed by fluorescence and CLSM. In vitro photodynamic toxicity of Nb@IC-NPs was examined by MTT, Live/Dead Cell Staining, Flow Cytometry and Apoptosis Assay. Tumor-bearing model was constructed to observe a semi-quantitative fluorescent distribution and the possibility of NIR-II fluorescence/photoacoustic (PA) imaging. Effect of Nb@IC-NPs on enhancing A549 tumor hypoxia and expression profile of HIF-1α was investigated in the presence of NIR. An A549 tumor metastasis model was also constructed to confirm the complex’ potential to destroy primary tumor, inhibit lung metastasis, and prolong mice’ survival. Lastly, impact of Nb@IC-NPs on mice’ main organs and blood indices was observed. Results Nb@IC-NPs was successfully fabricated with good homogeneity. The fluorescent absorbance of Nb@IC-NPs showed a linear relationship with the concentration of NTR, and a higher concentration of NTR corresponded to a stronger photoacoustic signal. In addition, Nb@IC-NPs showed a stable selectivity toward NTR. Our results also suggested a high efficient uptake of Nb@IC-NPs in A549 cells, which was more efficient than IC-NPs and IR1048-MZ alone. In vitro assays confirmed the effects of Nb@IC-NPs on catalytic O2 generation even in hypoxic cells. The cell viability was upregulated with the nanocomplex at the absence of the laser, whereas it was dramatically declined with laser treatment that excited at 980 nm. Nb@IC-NPs achieved tumor hypoxia NIR-II/PA imaging through assisting A549 gathering. When NIR was applied, Nb@IC-NPs can significantly relieve A549 cellular/tumor hypoxia by generating more reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in turn helps lower the expression level of HIF-1α. In summary, Nb@IC-NPs based PDT can efficiently decimate A549 primary tumor, inhibit metastatic lung cancer, and prolong the lifespan of the mice under tolerable dosage. At last, in vivo toxicity tests of the nanocomplex showed its biosafety to the main organs and normal blood indices values. Conclusion Nb@IC-NPs improves tumor hypoxia through catalytic reaction and lowers the expression level of HIF-1α. It achieves tumor PA imaging through intensified NIR-II fluorescence signal that caused by response of the complex to the lesion’s nitroreductase (NTR). Nb@IC-NPs based PDT can efficiently kill A549 primary tumor, inhibit a lung metastasis, as well as prolong mice’ survival cycle.

Abstract
Multimodal synergistic therapy based on photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has attracted increasing attention in cancer therapy. However, the scant therapeutic efficiency is always a barrier for further application. Herein, a smart tumor microenvironment (TME) responsive nanocatalysts are developed by adopting Fe-Mn layered double hydroxides (FeMn-LDH) as an effective photothermal nanocarrier to load mesoporous silica and chlorin e6 (Ce6)-covalently coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCSP) for multimodal imaging for directed therapy. Under acidic TME, FeMn-LDH degrades into Fe3+ and Mn2+ ions to initiate a Fenton-like reaction inducing CDT and enhancing magnetic resonance imaging. Additionally, Fe3+ can decompose H2 O2 to oxygen (O2 ), enhancing PDT guided by UCSP. As a representative noninvasive imaging probe, the upconversion luminescence will recover after decomposition of FeMn-LDH, and provide high-resolution upconversion luminescent imaging guidance for pinpointed PDT. Moreover, the photothermal properties of FeMn-LDH can further enhance CDT effects. The synergistic therapy and multifunctional imaging can realize the integration of diagnosis and treatment.
