Abstract
Tumor cells establish a robust self-defense system characterized by hypoxia, antioxidant overexpression, DNA damage repair, and so forth to resist radiotherapy. Targeting one of these features is insufficient to overcome radioresistance due to the feedback mechanisms initiated by tumor cells under radiotherapy. Therefore, we herein developed an engineering biomimetic nanosystem (M@HHPt) masked with tumor cell membranes and loaded with a hybridized protein-based nanoparticle carrying oxygens (O2) and cisplatin prodrugs (Pt(IV)) to target multiple tumor radioresistance hallmarks for enhanced radiotherapy. After administration, M@HHPt actively targeted and smoothly accumulated in tumor cells by virtue of its innate homing abilities to realize efficient co-delivery of O2 and Pt(IV). O2 introduction induced hypoxia alleviation cooperated with Pt(IV) reduction caused glutathione consumption greatly amplified radiotherapy-ignited cellular oxidative stress. Moreover, the released cisplatin effectively hindered DNA damage repair by crosslinking with radiotherapy-produced DNA fragments. Consequently, M@HHPt-sensitized radiotherapy significantly suppressed the proliferation of lung cancer H1975 cells with an extremely high sensitizer enhancement ratio of 1.91 and the progression of H1975 tumor models with an excellent tumor inhibition rate of 94.7%. Overall, this work provided a feasible strategy for tumor radiosensitization by overcoming multiple radioresistance mechanisms.

Abstract
Despite its effectiveness in eliminating cancer cells, ferroptosis is hindered by the high natural antioxidant glutathione (GSH) levels in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we developed a spatially asymmetric nanoparticle, Fe3O4@DMS&PDA@MnO2-SRF, for enhanced ferroptosis. It consists of two subunits: Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with dendritic mesoporous silica (DMS) and PDA@MnO2 (PDA: polydopamine) loaded with sorafenib (SRF). The spatial isolation of the Fe3O4@DMS and PDA@MnO2-SRF subunits enhances the synergistic effect between the GSH-scavengers and ferroptosis-related components. First, the increased exposure of the Fe3O4 subunit enhances the Fenton reaction, leading to increased production of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, the PDA@MnO2-SRF subunit effectively depletes GSH, thereby inducing ferroptosis by the inactivation of glutathione-dependent peroxidases 4. Moreover, the SRF blocks Xc- transport in tumor cells, augmenting GSH depletion capabilities. The dual GSH depletion of the Fe3O4@DMS&PDA@MnO2-SRF significantly weakens the antioxidative system, boosting the chemodynamic performance and leading to increased ferroptosis of tumor cells.

Abstract
Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization has been used in various applications such as preparing nanoparticles, stimulus-responsive polymers, and hydrogels. In this study, the combination of this polymerization method and Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click chemistry was used to prepare the multifunctional glyco-diblock copolymer P(PEG-co-AM)-b-PF, which is composed of mannosides for cell targeting, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) for biocompatibility, and aryl-aldehyde moieties for enzyme immobilization. The alkyne group in the polymer structure enables the alternation for other azide-conjugated monomers. The stepwise synthesis of the polymers was fully characterized. P(PEG-co-AM)-b-PF was self-assembled into polymeric nanoparticles (BDOX-GOx@NPs) for glucose oxidase immobilization through Schiff base formation and for encapsulating the prodrug of arylboronate-linked doxorubicin (BA-DOX) under optimal conditions. Glucose oxidase in BDOX-GOx@NPs catalyzes glucose oxidation to produce gluconic acid and H2O2, which cause oxidative stress. Glucose oxidase also consumes glucose, causing starvation in cancer cells. The produced H2O2 can selectively activate the anticancer prodrug BA-DOX for chemotherapy. In vitro data indicate that GOx and the prodrug BA-DOX present inside BDOX-GOx@NPs exhibit higher stability than free glucose oxidase with a favorable active DOX release profile. MDA-MB-231 cells, which express mannose receptors, were used to establish a model in this study. The bioactivity of the nanoplatform in the two- and three-dimensional models of MDA-MB-231 cancer cells was investigated to ascertain its antitumor efficacy.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is a pivotal method for treating malignant tumors, and enhancing the therapeutic gain ratio of radiotherapy through physical techniques is the direction of modern precision radiotherapy. Due to the inherent physical properties of high-energy radiation, enhancing the therapeutic gain ratio of radiotherapy through radiophysical techniques inevitably encounters challenges. The combination of hyperthermia and radiotherapy can enhance the radiosensitivity of tumor cells, reduce their radioresistance, and holds significant clinical utility in radiotherapy. Multifunctional nanomaterials with excellent biocompatibility and safety have garnered widespread attention in tumor hyperthermia research, demonstrating promising potential. Utilizing nanotechnology as a sensitizing carrier in conjunction with radiotherapy, and high atomic number nanomaterials can also serve independently as radiosensitizing carriers. This synergy between tumor hyperthermia and radiotherapy may overcome many challenges currently limiting tumor radiotherapy, offering new opportunities for its further advancement. In recent years, the continuous progress in the synthesis and design of novel nanomaterials will propel the future development of medical imaging and cancer treatment. This article summarizes the radiosensitizing mechanisms and effects based on gold nanotechnology and provides an overview of the advancements of other nanoparticles (such as bismuth-based nanomaterials, magnetic nanomaterials, selenium nanomaterials, etc.) in the process of radiation therapy.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is an important therapeutic modality in the treatment of cancers. Nevertheless, the characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as hypoxia and high glutathione (GSH), limit the efficacy of radiotherapy. Manganese-based (Mn-based) nanomaterials offer a promising prospect for sensitizing radiotherapy due to their good responsiveness to the TME. In this review, we focus on the mechanisms of radiosensitization of Mn-based nanosystems, including alleviating tumor hypoxia, increasing reactive oxygen species production, increasing GSH conversion, and promoting antitumor immunity. We further illustrate the applications of these mechanisms in cancer radiotherapy, including the development and delivery of radiosensitizers, as well as their combination with other therapeutic modalities. Finally, we summarize the application of Mn-based nanosystems as contrast agents in realizing precision therapy. Hopefully, the present review will provide new insights into the biological mechanisms of Mn-based nanosystems, as well as their applications in radiotherapy, in order to address the difficulties and challenges that remain in their clinical application in the future.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based cancer therapy faces significant limitations due to the complex nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Starvation therapy is an emerging therapeutic approach that targets tumor cell metabolism using glucose oxidase (GOx). Importantly, it can provide a material or environmental foundation for other diverse therapeutic methods by manipulating the properties of the TME, such as acidity, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels, and hypoxia degree. In recent years, this cascade strategy has been extensively applied in nanoplatforms for ongoing synergetic therapy and still holds undeniable potential. However, only a few review articles comprehensively elucidate the rational designs of nanoplatforms for synergetic therapeutic regimens revolving around the conception of the cascade strategy. Therefore, this review focuses on innovative cascade strategies for GOx-based synergetic therapy from representative paradigms to state-of-the-art reports to provide an instructive, comprehensive, and insightful reference for readers. Thereafter, we discuss the remaining challenges and offer a critical perspective on the further advancement of GOx-facilitated cancer treatment toward clinical translation.

Abstract
Tumors are among the leading causes of death worldwide. Cell-derived biomimetic functional materials have shown great promise in the treatment of tumors. These materials are derived from cell membranes, extracellular vesicles and bacterial outer membrane vesicles and may evade immune recognition, improve drug targeting and activate antitumor immunity. However, their use is limited owing to their low drug-loading capacity and complex preparation methods. Liposomes are artificial bionic membranes that have high drug-loading capacity and can be prepared and modified easily. Although they can overcome the disadvantages of cell-derived biomimetic functional materials, they lack natural active targeting ability. Lipids can be hybridized with cell membranes, extracellular vesicles or bacterial outer membrane vesicles to form lipid-hybrid cell-derived biomimetic functional materials. These materials negate the disadvantages of both liposomes and cell-derived components and represent a promising delivery platform in the treatment of tumors. This review focuses on the design strategies, applications and mechanisms of action of lipid-hybrid cell-derived biomimetic functional materials and summarizes the prospects of their further development and the challenges associated with it.

A hybrid nanopharmaceutical for specific-amplifying oxidative stress to initiate a cascade of catalytic therapy for pancreatic cancer. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:165.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress (OS) induced by an imbalance of oxidants and antioxidants is an important aspect in anticancer therapy, however, as an adaptive response, excessive glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) acts as an antioxidant against high reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and prevents OS damage to maintain redox homoeostasis, suppressing the clinical efficacy of OS-induced anticancer therapies. RESULTS A naturally occurring ROS-activating drug, galangin (GAL), is introduced into a Fenton-like catalyst (SiO2@MnO2) to form a TME stimulus-responsive hybrid nanopharmaceutical (SiO2-GAL@MnO2, denoted SG@M) for enhancing oxidative stress. Once exposed to TME, as MnO2 responds and consumes GSH, the released Mn2+ converts endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which together with the subsequent release of GAL from SiO2 increases ROS. The "overwhelming" ROS cause OS-mediated mitochondrial malfunction with a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), which releases cytochrome c from mitochondria, activates the Caspase 9/Caspase 3 apoptotic cascade pathway. Downregulation of JAK2 and STAT3 phosphorylation levels blocks the JAK2/STAT3 cell proliferation pathway, whereas downregulation of Cyclin B1 protein levels arrest the cell cycle in the G2/M phase. During 18 days of in vivo treatment observation, tumor growth inhibition was found to be 62.7%, inhibiting the progression of pancreatic cancer. Additionally, the O2 and Mn2+ released during this cascade catalytic effect improve ultrasound imaging (USI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), respectively. CONCLUSION This hybrid nanopharmaceutical based on oxidative stress amplification provides a strategy for multifunctional integrated therapy of malignant tumors and image-visualized pharmaceutical delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nucleic acid is the carrier of genetic information and the keymolecule in life science. It is important to establish a simple and feasible method for nucleic acid quantification in complex biological samples. METHODS Four kinds of hydrogen bond acceptors (choline chloride (ChCl), L-carnitine, tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)) were used to synthesize deep eutectic solvents (DESs) with hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). DESs based manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets composites was synthesized and characterized. DNA concentration was determined by a UVVis spectrometer. The mechanism of DNA-DES/MnO2 colorimetric system was further discussed. RESULTS The composite composed of DES/MnO2 exhibited excellent oxidase-like activity and could oxidize 3,3',5,5' -tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce a clear blue change with an absorbance maximum at 652 nm. When DNA is introduced, the DNA can interact with the DES by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, thereby inhibiting the color reaction of DES/MnO2 with TMB. After condition optimization, ChCl/HFIP DES in 1:3 molar ratio was used for the colorimetric method of DNA determination. The linear range of DNA was 10-130 µg/mL and exhibited good selectivity. CONCLUSION A colorimetric method based on DES/MnO2 was developed to quantify the DNA concentration. The proposed method can be successfully used to quantify DNA in bovine serum samples.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1171450. [PMID: 37143600 PMCID: PMC10151506 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1171450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) incorporated multidisciplinary treatment is producing excellent clinical results, but its efficacy in treating late-stage gastric cancer is constrained by radioresistance and RT-related toxicity. Especially, since reactive oxygen species are the pivotal effectual molecules of ionizing radiation, improving ROS production by nanoparticles and other pharmacological modulation to amplify oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and subsequent ferroptotic cell death is shown to enhance cancer cell radioresponse. Herein, we constructed a nanosystem by loading Pyrogallol (PG), a polyphenol compound and ROS generator, into mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles named as MON@pG. The nanoparticles exhibit proper size distribution with amplified ROS production and substantial glutathione depletion under X-ray radiation in gastric cancer cell line. Meanwhile, MON@PG enhanced radiosensitivity of gastric cancer in xenograft tumor model by ROS-mediated accumulation of DNA damage and apoptosis. Furthermore, this augmented oxidative process induced mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis. In summary, MON@PG nanoparticles show the capacity to improve RT potency in gastric cancer by disrupting redox balance and augmenting ferroptosis.

Prospects for hypoxia-based drug delivery platforms for the elimination of advanced metastatic tumors: From 3D modeling to clinical concepts. J Control Release 2023; 353:1002-1022.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a unique characteristic of the solid tumor microenvironment. Hypoxia contributes to multi-drug resistance, metastasis and cancer relapse through numerous molecular pathways, but at the same time provides an opportunity for the development of novel drugs or modalities specifically targeting hypoxic tumor regions. Given the high significance of tumor hypoxia in therapeutic results, we here discuss a variety of hypoxia-adopted strategies, and their potential and utility in the treatment of deep-seated hypoxic tumor cells. We discuss the merits and demerits of these approaches, as well as their combination with other approaches such as photodynamic therapy. We also survey the currently available 3D hypoxia modeling systems, in particular organoid-based microfluidics. Finally, we discuss the potential and the current status of preclinical tumor hypoxia approaches in clinical trials for advanced cancer. We believe that multi-modal imaging and therapeutic hypoxia adopted drug delivery platforms could provide better efficacy and safety profiles, and more importantly personalized therapy. Determining the hypoxia status of tumors could offer a second chance for the clinical translation of hypoxia-based agents, such as hypoxia activated prodrugs (HAPs) from bench to bedside.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Tumor treatments based on phototherapy, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), are promising anticancer strategies. However, their dependence on light also poses several limitations for their application. Therefore, the establishment of a multifunctional nanotheranostic platform based on light therapy is needed to improve applicability of the technology. EXPERIMENTS We designed yolk-shell magnetic Fe3O4@Carbon@Platinum-Chlorin e6 nanoparticles (MCPtCe6), which may be used for Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and synergistic catalytic-photodynamic-photothermal (catalytic-PDT-PTT) tumor therapy. FINDINGS We designed to compound multiple nanozymes and solve the drawbacks of single nanozyme and give additional functionalization to nanozymes for tumor therapy. Fe3O4 has T2 weighted MRI ability. The designed yolk-shell structure can disperse Fe3O4 in the carbon shell layer, which in turn can act as a carrier for PtNPs and improve the dispersion of both Fe3O4 and Pt. Pt nanoparticles attached to the surface of N-doped carbon spheres enhanced the catalytic ability of the nanozyme to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). The covalently linked photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) on the Fe3O4@C@Pt (MCPt) nanozyme is essential for the therapeutic effects of PDT. MCPtCe6 can be specifically activated by the microenvironment through an enzyme-like catalytic process and extend PDT/PTT in acidic and H2O2-rich microenvironments. The results showed that MCPtCe6 had a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 28.28%), indicating its feasibility for PTT. Further cellular and animal studies have revealed that catalytic-PDT-PTT therapy can effectively inhibit tumors both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Due to its non-invasive and highly effective characteristics, radiotherapy has attracted significant interest in cancer treatment. However, radioresistance of solid tumors caused by a unique tumor microenvironment diminishes the therapeutic effect of cancer radiotherapy. To address this issue, we developed a nanoplatform for tumor-specific targeting to improve radiotherapy. Specifically, hollow CuS nanoparticles were decorated with the platelet cell membrane (PC), endowing this nanoplatform with the therapeutic property of navigating to the tumor region for glutathione (GSH)-depletion photothermal therapy. It was discovered that mild photothermal therapy mediated by PC ameliorated hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment. Meanwhile, GSH, which contributes to repairing radiotherapy-induced DNA double-strand breaks, was depleted by PC in an acidic microenvironment. Therefore, radioresistance could be diminished while cancer cell self-repair was prevented. At therapeutic doses, PC nanoparticles have negligible toxic effects on normal tissues. PC demonstrates promise for both in vivo and in vitro radiosensitization due to its GSH-depletion, photothermal efficiency, and tumor-specific properties.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone cancer that usually occurs in children and adolescents. Although chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other methods have been used to treat osteosarcoma, these therapeutic regimens fail to cure this disease completely. Herein, doxorubicin-encapsulated iron–gallic acid (FeGA-DOX) nanoparticles (NPs) were fused with agarose hydrogels (AG) for synergistic therapy of osteosarcoma. Under near-infrared laser irradiation, the local temperature of FeGA-DOX NPs was increased. Therefore, tumour cells were killed using photothermal therapy, and AG dissolved to release FeGA-DOX into the cells. Doxorubicin generates hydrogen peroxide, which is then converted to reactive oxygen species (ROS) via FeGA-DOX by the Fenton reaction, inducing tumour cell apoptosis. ROS induced by chemodynamic therapy compensates for the incomplete cure of osteosarcoma cells. The AG-encapsulated NPs could mediate synergistic chemodynamic and photothermal therapy with self-sufficient H2O2, providing a novel therapeutic strategy for osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging and promising therapeutic strategy that suppresses tumor growth by catalytically converting intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly-reactive hydroxyl radicals (•OH). However, the inherent substrate of H2O2 is relatively insufficient to achieve desirable CDT efficacy. Therefore, searching for integrated therapeutic methods with synergistic therapeutic modality is especially vital to augment therapeutic outcomes. Herein, we reported nanodot- CuxMnySz @BSA@ICG (denoted as CMS@B@I) and bovine serum albumin (BSA)-based biomineralization CuxMnySz (CMS) loaded with photodynamic agent-indocyanine green (ICG). CMS@B@I converts endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly active hydroxyl radical (•OH) via Fenton reaction, and effectively produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) after being exposed to 808 nm laser irradiation, attributable to the excellent photodynamic agent-ICG. This results in eliciting a ROS storm. Additionally, CMS@B@I exhibits a superior photothermal effect under NIR-II 1064 nm laser irradiation to enhance tumor CDT efficacy. The NIR-II fluorescence imaging agent of ICG and the excellent photothermal effect of CMS@B@I are highly beneficial to NIR-II fluorescence and infrared thermal imaging, respectively, resulting in tracing the fate of CMS@B@I. This study attempts to design a bimodal imaging-guided and photothermal-enhanced CDT nanoagent for augmenting tumor catalytic therapy.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) plays a pivotal role in the comprehensive treatment of multiple malignant tumors, exerting its anti-tumor effects through direct induction of double-strand breaks (DSBs) or indirect induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, RT resistance remains a therapeutic obstacle that leads to cancer recurrence and treatment failure. In this study, we synthesised a tantalum-carbon-integrated nanozyme with excellent catalase-like (CAT-like) activity and radiosensitivity by immobilising an ultrasmall tantalum nanozyme into a metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived carbon nanozyme through in situ reduction. The integrated tantalum nanozyme significantly increased the CAT activity of the carbon nanozyme, which promoted the production of more oxygen and increased the ROS levels. By improving hypoxia and increasing the level of ROS, more DNA DSBs occur at the cellular level, which, in turn, improves the sensitivity of RT. Moreover, tantalum–carbon-integrated nanozymes combined with RT have demonstrated notable anti-tumor activity in vivo. Therefore, exploiting the enzymatic activity and the effect of ROS amplification of this nanozyme has the potential to overcome resistance to RT, which may offer new horizons for nanozyme-based remedies for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Peroxidase-like nanozymes with robust catalytic capacity and detection specificity have been proposed as substitutes to natural peroxidases in biochemical sensing. However, the catalytic activity enhancement, detection mechanism, and application of nanozyme-based biosensors toward l-cysteine (l-Cys) detection still remain significant challenges. In this work, a doped ferrite nanozyme with well-defined structure and surface charges is fabricated by a two-step method of continuous flow coprecipitation and high-temperature annealing. The resulted ferrite nanozyme possesses an average size of 54.5 nm and a zeta-potential of 6.45 mV. A high-performance biosensor is manufactured based on the peroxidase-like catalytic feature of the doped ferrite. The ferrite nanozyme can oxidize the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with the assistance of H2O2 because of the instinctive capacity to decompose H2O2 into ·OH. The Michaelis-Menten constants (0.0911 mM for TMB, 0.140 mM for H2O2) of the ferrite nanozyme are significantly smaller than those of horseradish peroxidase. A reliable colorimetric method is established to selectively analyze l-Cys via a facile mixing-and-detecting methodology. The detection limit and linear range are 0.119 μM and 0.2-20 μM, respectively. Taking the merits of the ferrite nanozyme-based biosensors, the l-Cys level in the human serum can be qualitatively detected. It can be anticipated that the surface-charged ferrite nanozyme shows great application prospects in the fields of bioanalytical chemistry and point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) is frequently utilized for cancer treatment in clinical practice and has been proved to have immune stimulation potency in recent years. However, its inhibitory effect on tumor growth, especially on tumor metastasis, is still limited by many factors, including the complex tumor microenvironment (TME). Therefore, the TME - regulating SiO2@MnO2 nanoparticles (SM NPs) were prepared and applied to the combination of RT and immunotherapy. In a bilateral animal model, SM NPs not only enhanced the inhibitory effect of RT on primary tumor growth, but also strengthened the abscopal effect to inhibit the growth of distant untreated tumors. As for the distant untreated tumor, 40% of mice showed complete inhibition of tumor growth and 40% showed a suppressed tumor growth. Moreover, SM NPs showed modulation functions for TME through inducing the increase in intracellular levels of oxygen and reactive oxygen species after their reaction with hydrogen peroxide and the main antioxidative agent glutathione in TME. Lastly, SM NPs also effectively induced the increase in the amounts of cytokines secreted by macrophage - like cells, indicating modulation functions for immune responses. This work highlighted a potential strategy of simultaneously inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis through the regulation of TME and immune responses by SM NPs - enhanced radio - immunotherapy.

Abstract
Malignant tumors are one of the main causes of human death. The clinical treatment of malignant tumors is usually surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and so forth. Radiotherapy, as a traditional and effective treatment method for cancer, is widely used in clinical practice, but the radiation resistance of tumor cells and the toxic side effects to normal cells are still the Achilles heel of radiotherapy. Multifunctional inorganic high-atom nanomaterials are expected to enhance the effect of tumor radiotherapy. Tungsten and bismuth, which contain elements with high atomic coefficients, have strong X-ray energy attenuation capability. We synthesized Bi2WO6 nanosheets (NSs) using a hydrothermal synthesis method and modified polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) on their surface to make them more stable. PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs have a variety of effects after absorbing X-rays (such as the photoelectric effect and Compton effect) and release a variety of particles such as photoelectrons, Compton electrons, auger electrons, and so forth, which can react with organic molecules or water in cells, generate a large number of free radicals, and promote cell apoptosis, thereby improving the effect of radiotherapy. We show through γ-H2AX and DCFH-DA probe analysis experiments that PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs can effectively increase cell DNA damage and reactive oxygen species formation under X-ray irradiation. Clone formation analysis showed that PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs can effectively suppress cell colony formation under X-ray irradiation. These versatile functions endow PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs with enhanced radiotherapy efficacy in animal models. In addition, PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs can also be used as contrast agents for X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging with obvious effects. Therefore, PVP-Bi2WO6 NSs can be used as CT imaging contrast agents and tumor radiotherapy sensitizers and have potential medical applications.

Abstract
Purpose: While radiotherapy remains the leading clinical treatment for many tumors, its efficacy can be significantly hampered by the insensitivity of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle to such irradiation.Methods: Here, we designed a highly targeted drug delivery platform in which exosomes were loaded with the FDA-approved anti-tumor drug camptothecin (CPT) which is capable of regulating cell cycle. The utilized exosomes were isolated from patient tumors, enabling the personalized treatment of individuals to ensure better therapeutic outcomes.Results: This exosome-mediated delivery strategy was exhibited robust targeted to patient-derived tumor cells in vitro and in established patient-derived xenograft models. By delivering CPT to tumor cells, this nanoplatform was able to decrease cell cycle arrest in the S phase, increasing the frequency of cells in the G1 and G2/M phases such that they were more radiosensitive.Conclusion: This therapeutic approach was able to substantially enhance the sensitivity of patient-derived tumors to ionizing radiation, thereby improving the overall efficacy of radiotherapy without the need for a higher radiation dose.

Abstract
Hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment induces radioresistance in cancer cells, which reduces the treatment efficiency of radiotherapy. Therefore, it is critical to produce sufficient oxygen to alleviate hypoxia to enhance the effect of ionizing radiation. Here, we constructed nanorod-shaped PdTe nanoenzymes to overcome hypoxia and promote the effects of thermoradiotherapy. Both palladium and tellurium are high-Z elements, which interacted with X-rays to generate more DNA radicals in the tumor regions. Moreover, PdTe nanoenzyme could catalyze the conversion of intratumoral overexpressed H2O2 to oxygen, alleviating hypoxia in the tumor regions. Photothermal therapy mediated by PdTe nanoenzymes not only ablated tumors but also accelerated the blood flow, in turn, modulating hypoxia. With good biocompatibility, PdTe nanoenzyme exhibited remarkable oxygen generation ability both in vitro and in vivo, indicating potential ability for radiosensitization. Further investigation using MBT-2 cells and MBT-2 tumor-bearing mice demonstrated that PdTe nanoenzyme could effectively enhance the treatment efficiency of radiotherapy. Thus, our work presented a novel nanoenzyme to overcome hypoxia in tumors for effective thermoradiotherapy.

Abstract
Introduction Radiotherapy is a conventional treatment for gastrointestinal tumors. However, its therapeutic effect might not be satisfactory because of factors such as radio-resistance of tumor cells and dose reduction applied to avoid damage to normal tissues. We developed a novel combination therapy involving the use of isoniazid (INH) and core-shell magnetic nanospheres (NPs) to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy. Methods Magnetic core-shell NPs were synthesized. The shell manganese dioxide (MnO2) reacted with intracellular glutathione to produce Mn2+, which decomposed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in the presence of INH to produce sufficient amount of reactive oxygen species. In addition to this chemodynamic therapy, MnO2 catalyzed H2O2 to O2, which alleviated hypoxia in tumors and thus enhanced the effect of radiotherapy. In addition, iron oxide (Fe3O4) and reduced Mn2+ were potential candidates for T1–T2 dual-mode magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with remarkable magnetic targeting ability. Results NPs exhibited efficient tumor targeting performance under the magnetic field and improved T1/T2 dual-mode MRI, which elevated oxygen levels without toxicity to the mice to achieve remarkable therapeutic outcomes, reaching a tumor inhibition rate of 93.2%. Moreover, chemodynamic therapy mediated by INH and NPs enhanced the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy both in vivo and in vitro. Conclusion The results demonstrated that the combination of INH and NPs could be a novel strategy for radiosensitization with clinical potential.

Abstract
Although many semiconductor heterojunctions have been prepared to promote radiation-generated exciton separation for radiocatalysis therapy (RCT), most of them inevitably sacrifice the redox ability of radiation-generated electrons and holes. Herein, we design and construct BiOI/Bi2S3@polydopamine nanosheets modified by amine-polyethylene glycol-folic acid and glucose oxidase for glucose oxidase-sensitized RCT and starvation therapy (ST) synergistic therapy of tumors. The unique Z-scheme energy level arrangement between BiOI and Bi2S3 can elevate the charge separation efficiency, as well as maximize the redox ability of radiation-generated electrons and holes, leading to the enhancement of the therapeutic efficacy of RCT. Since glucose oxidase can supply excess H2O2 for RCT to produce ˙OH on one hand, but efficiently cut off the energy supply of tumor cells via ST, on the other hand, our nanosheets exhibit superior tumor therapeutic efficacy to any single treatment benefiting from the cascade and synergy effects between RCT and ST.

Abstract
High doses of radiation can cause serious side effects and efficient radiosensitizers are urgently needed. To overcome this problem, we developed a biomimetic nanozyme system (CF) by coating pyrite (FeS2) into tumor-derived exosomes for enhanced low-dose radiotherapy (RT). CF system give FeS2 with immune escape and homologous targeting abilities. After administration, CF with both glutathione oxidase (GSH-OXD) and peroxidase (POD) activities can significantly lower the content of GSH in tumor tissues and catalyze intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce a large amount of ·OH for intracellular redox homeostasis disruption and mitochondria destruction, thus reducing RT resistance. Experiments in vivo and in vitro showed that combining CF with RT (2 Gy) can provide a substantial suppression of tumor proliferation. This is the first attempt to use exosomes bionic FeS2 nanozyme for realizing low-dose RT, which broaden the prospects of nanozymes.

Abstract
High doses of radiotherapy (RT) are associated with resistance induction. Therefore, highly selective and controllable radiosensitizers are urgently needed. To address this issue, we developed a tin ferrite (SFO)-based tumor microenvironment (TME)-improved system (SIS) that can be used in combination with low-dose radiation. The SIS was delivered via intratumoral injection directly to the tumor site, where it was stored as a ration depot. Due to the photothermal properties of SFO, SIS steadily dissolved under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. Simultaneously, the dual glutathione oxidase (GSH-OXD) and catalase (CAT) activities of the SFO nanozyme significantly lowered the content of GSH in tumor tissues and efficiently catalyzed the conversion of intracellular hydrogen peroxide to produce a large amount of oxygen (O2) for intracellular redox homeostasis disruption, thus reducing radiotherapy resistance. Our in vivo and in vitro studies suggested that combining the SIS and NIR irradiation with RT (2Gy) significantly reduced tumor proliferation without side effects such as inflammation. To conclude, this study revealed that SFO-based nanozymes show great promise as a catalytic, radiosensitizing anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
Therapeutic nanosystems triggered by a specific tumor microenvironment (TME) offer excellent safety and selectivity in the treatment of cancer by in situ conversion of a less toxic substance into effective anticarcinogens. However, the inherent antioxidant systems, hypoxic environment, and insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor cells severely limit their efficacy. Herein, a new strategy has been developed by loading the chemotherapy prodrug disulfiram (DSF) and coating glucose oxidase (GOD) on the surface of Cu/ZIF-8 nanospheres and finally encapsulating manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoshells to achieve efficient DSF-based cancer chemotherapy and dual-enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT). In an acidic TME, the nanocatalyst can biodegrade rapidly and accelerate the release of internal active substances. The outer layer of MnO2 depletes glutathione (GSH) to destroy the reactive oxygen defensive mechanisms and achieves continuous oxygen generation, thus enhancing the catalytic efficiency of GOD to burst H2O2. Benefiting from the chelation reaction between the released Cu2+ and DSF, a large amount of cytotoxic CuET products is generated, and the Cu+ are concurrently released, thereby achieving efficient chemotherapy and satisfactory CDT efficacy. Furthermore, the release of Mn2+ can initiate magnetic resonance imaging signals for the tracking of the nanocatalyst.

Abstract
The chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effect is restricted by the neutral pH environment in the tumor, also, the protein corona formed on the surface of the CDT catalyst reduces its activity. Here, we synthesized a core-shell CDT drug consisting of Fe/Fe3C core and mesoporous graphite carbon shell with biotin modification (denoted FeCNB). The shell and core form a galvanic cells in the physiological electrolyte solution to achieve high-efficiency CDT under physiological pH conditions. The mesoporous in the shell effectively separates the protein corona from the Fe/Fe3C, avoiding the influence of the protein corona on the catalyst. However, the mesoporous is permeable for the substrate and product of the catalytic reaction. FeCNB also has T2-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) function and photothermal conversion ability under 808 nm laser irradiation. The tumor heating further improves the CDT effect to achieve a satisfactory synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT)/CDT outcome. In addition, FeCNB degrades in the microenvironment to ensure its excellent biocompatibility. It is the first study of CDT drug design and fabrication based on the mechanism of the galvanic cells.

Abstract
Background: Radiosensitizers that can effectively consume glutathione provide broad prospects for enhancing the efficacy and reducing the side effects of radiotherapy. Aim: To explore the potential role of CuS@mSiO2@MnO2 nanocomposites in synergetic chemoradiotherapy. Methods: Nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectrometry and dynamic light scattering and were loaded with doxorubicin (DOX). The uptake and biodistribution of nanocomposites were observed by CCK8 assay, MRI and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The radiosensitization effect of nanocomposites and nanocomposites/DOX was assessed both in vitro and in vivo. Results: In vitro application of nanocomposites, with an average diameter of 30 nm and ζ-potential of 13.2 ± 0.4 mV, in combination with radiotherapy, depleted glutathione and induced ferroptosis and apoptosis. Nanocomposites/DOX exhibited tumor cell damage in vivo. Conclusion: We propose that this glutathione-depleting nanosystem could be a radiosensitizer as well as a drug transporter.

Abstract
Precisely engineered magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been widely explored for applications including theragnostic platforms, drug delivery systems, biomaterial/device coatings, tissue engineering scaffolds, performance-enhanced therapeutic alternatives, and even in SARS-CoV-2 detection strips. Such popularity is due to their unique, challenging, and tailorable physicochemical/magnetic properties. Given the wide biomedical-related potential applications of MNPs, significant achievements have been reached and published (exponentially) in the last five years, both in synthesis and application tailoring. Within this review, and in addition to essential works in this field, we have focused on the latest representative reports regarding the biomedical use of MNPs including characteristics related to their oriented synthesis, tailored geometry, and designed multibiofunctionality. Further, actual trends, needs, and limitations of magnetic-based nanostructures for biomedical applications will also be discussed.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH), the main redox buffer, has long been recognized as a pivotal modulator of tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. It is also implicated in the resistance of platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Therefore, depleting intracellular GSH was considered a potent solution to combating cancer. However, reducing GSH within cancer cells alone always failed to yield desirable therapeutic effects. In this regard, the convergence of GSH-scavenging agents with therapeutic drugs has thus been pursued in clinical practice. Unfortunately, the therapeutic outcomes are still unsatisfactory due to untargeted drug delivery. Advanced nanomedicine of synergistic GSH depletion and cancer treatment has attracted tremendous interest because they promise to deliver superior therapeutic benefits while alleviating life-threatening side effects. In the past five years, the authors and others have demonstrated that numerous nanomedicines, by simultaneously delivering GSH-depleting agents and therapeutic components, boost not only traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy but also multifarious emerging treatment modalities, including photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, ferroptosis, and immunotherapy, to name a few, and achieved decent treatment outcomes in a large number of rodent tumor models. In this review, we summarize the most recent progress in engineering nanomedicine for GSH depletion-enhanced cancer therapies. Biosynthesis of GSH and various types of GSH-consuming strategies will be briefly introduced. The challenges and perspectives of leveraging nanomedicine for GSH consumption-augmented cancer therapies will be discussed at the end.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), which induces cell death by decomposing high levels of H2 O2 in tumor cells into highly toxic ·OH, is recognized as a promising antineoplastic approach. However, current CDT approaches are often restricted by the highly controlled and upregulated cellular antioxidant defense. To enhance ·OH-induced cellular damage by CDT, a covalent organic framework (COF)-based, ferrocene (Fc)- and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) inhibitor-loaded nanodrug, RSL3@COF-Fc (2b), is fabricated. The obtained 2b not only promotes in situ Fenton-like reactions to trigger ·OH production in cells, but also attenuates the repair mechanisms under oxidative stress via irreversible covalent GPX4 inhibition. As a result, these two approaches synergistically result in massive lipid peroxide accumulation, subsequent cell damage, and ultimately ferroptosis, while not being limited by intracellular glutathione. It is believed that this research provides a paradigm for enhancing reactive oxygen species-mediated oncotherapy through redox dyshomeostasis and may provide new insights for developing COF-based nanomedicine.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT) proves itself to be a formidable tool in the fight against cancer, due to its large spectrum of uses as a non-invasive therapeutic measure, while also demonstrating itself to be a certain improvement upon traditional SDT therapeutics. However, tumor hypoxia remains to be a major challenge for oxygen-dependent SDT. This study describes the development of an innovative, multi-use, catalyst-based and improved SDT targeting cancer, through the employment of a sonosensitizing curcumin (Cur) load embedded within a MnO2 core, together with an extraneous tumor cell membrane component. The latter allows for efficient tumor recognition properties. Hollowed-out MnO2 allows for efficient drug delivery, together with catalyzing oxygen generation from hydrogen peroxide present in tumor tissue, leading to enhanced SDT efficacy through the induction of a reduced hypoxic state within the tumor. In addition, Cur acts as a cytotoxic agent in its own right. The results deriving from in vivo studies revealed that such a biomimetic approach for drug-delivery actually led to a reduced hypoxic state within tumor tissue and a raised tumor-inhibitory effect within mouse models. Such a therapeutic measure attained a synergic SDT-based tumor sensitization treatment option, together with the potential use of such catalysis-based therapeutic formulations in other medical conditions having hypoxic states.

Abstract
Rational: Interstitial brachytherapy (BT) is a promising radiation therapy for cancer; however, the efficacy of BT is limited by tumor radioresistance. Recent advances in materials science and nanotechnology have offered many new opportunities for BT. Methods: In this work, we developed a biomimetic nanotheranostic platform for enhanced BT. Core-shell Au@AuPd nanospheres (CANS) were synthesized and then encapsulated in platelet (PLT)-derived plasma membranes. Results: The resulting PLT/CANS nanoparticles efficiently evaded immune clearance and specifically accumulated in tumor tissues due to the targeting capabilities of the PLT membrane coating. Under endoscopic guidance, a BT needle was manipulated to deliver appropriate radiation doses to orthotopic colon tumors while sparing surrounding organs. Accumulated PLT/CANS enhanced the irradiation dose deposition in tumor tissue while alleviating tumor hypoxia by catalyzing endogenous H2O2 to produce O2. After treatment with PLT/CANS and BT, 100% of mice survived for 30 days. Conclusions: Our work presents a safe, robust, and efficient strategy for enhancing BT outcomes when adapted to treatment of intracavitary and unresectable tumors.

Abstract
Cancer cells frequently exhibit resistance to various molecular and nanoscale drugs, which inevitably affects the drugs' therapeutic outcomes. Overexpression of glutathione (GSH) has been observed in many cancer cells, and solid evidence has corroborated the resulting tumor resistance to a variety of anticancer therapies, suggesting that this biochemical characteristic of cancer cells can be developed as a potential target for cancer treatments. The single treatment of GSH-depleting agents can potentiate the responses of the cancer cells to different cell death stimuli; therefore, as an adjunctive strategy, GSH depletion is usually combined with mainstream cancer therapies for enhancing the therapeutic outcomes. Propelled by the rapid development of nanotechnology, GSH-depleting agents can be readily constructed into anticancer nanomedicines, which have shown a steep rise over the past decade. Here, we review the common GSH-depleting nanomedicines which have been widely applied in synergistic cancer treatments in recent years. Some current challenges and future perspectives for GSH depletion-based cancer therapies are also presented. With the understanding of the structure-property relationship and action mechanisms of these biomaterials, we hope that the GSH-depleting nanotechnology will be further developed to realize more effective disease treatments and even achieve successful clinical translations.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is recommended as a modality for cancer treatment in clinic. However, cancerous cells were resistant to therapeutic irradiation due to its DNA repair. In this work, single-walled carbon nanotubes with unique physical properties of hollow structures and high specific surface area were introduced as carrier for iron-palladium (FePd) to obtain iron-palladium decorated carbon nanotubes (FePd@CNTs). On one hand, FePd nanoparticles possess significant ability in radiosensitization as previously reported. On the other hand, carbon nanotubes offer higher efficiency in crossing biological barriers, inducing the accumulation and retention of FePd nanoparticles within tumor tissue. In order to verify the radiosensitization effect of FePd@CNTs, both in vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted. These experiments showed that the FePd@CNTs exhibited remarkably better radiosensitization effect and more obvious accumulation than FePd NPs, suggesting a potential of FePd@CNTs in radiosensitization.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 409:125019. [PMID: 33421875 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.125019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 12/14/2020] [Accepted: 12/29/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
To enlarge the perspective of nanozyme, 2-dimensional Co3O4 stabilizing Rh nano composite (2D Co3O4@Rh NC) was identified and developed first by one-pot surfactant-aided oxido-reduction. By virtue of the synergetic-reinforcing oxidase activity between 2D Co3O4 substrate and Rh nano particles, the obtained 2D Co3O4@Rh NC could catalyze the oxidation of chromogenic substrate 3,3',5,5,'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxTMB with quite a low Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) of 0.018 mM and a quick vmax of 6.45 × 10-8 M s-1, expressing superior oxidase-like catalysis with a wide temperature range from 20 to 60 °C. Importantly, either bioactive urea or toxic p-aminophenol (p-Ap) could exclusively alter the existed state of oxTMB with differentiable color changes. Under the optimized conditions, 2D Co3O4@Rh NC was successfully applied for ratiometric colorimetric sensing urea and p-Ap in environmental water, soil and urine samples with low detection limits (1.1 μM for urea and 0.68 μM for p-Ap) and satisfactory recoveries (96.0-105.8%). The synergetic enhanced oxidase-like activity of 2D Co3O4@Rh NC and the different reaction mechanisms of the 2D Co3O4@Rh NC-TMB system to urea and p-Ap were investigated. Not only does the work provide an efficient way for sensing organic pollution of p-Ap, it will offer an efficient potential for diagnosing urea-related diseases on clinical medical testing in future.
