CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS : A PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY 2024; 36:4542-4552. [PMID: 38764751 PMCID: PMC11099925 DOI: 10.1021/acs.chemmater.4c00209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Tin-based semiconductors are highly desirable materials for energy applications due to their low toxicity and biocompatibility relative to analogous lead-based semiconductors. In particular, tin-based chalcohalides possess optoelectronic properties that are ideal for photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications. In addition, they are believed to benefit from increased stability compared with halide perovskites. However, to fully realize their potential, it is first necessary to better understand and predict the synthesis and phase evolution of these complex materials. Here, we describe a versatile solution-phase method for the preparation of the multinary tin chalcohalide semiconductors Sn2SbS2I3, Sn2BiS2I3, Sn2BiSI5, and Sn2SI2. We demonstrate how certain thiocyanate precursors are selective toward the synthesis of chalcohalides, thus preventing the formation of binary and other lower order impurities rather than the preferred multinary compositions. Critically, we utilized 119Sn ssNMR spectroscopy to further assess the phase purity of these materials. Further, we validate that the tin chalcohalides exhibit excellent water stability under ambient conditions, as well as remarkable resistance to heat over time compared to halide perovskites. Together, this work enables the isolation of lead-free, stable, direct band gap chalcohalide compositions that will help engineer more stable and biocompatible semiconductors and devices.

Abstract
Photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction is an effective method for in vivo carbon monoxide (CO) generation for antibacterial use. However, the available strategies mainly focus on utilizing visible-light-responsive photocatalysts to achieve CO generation. The limited penetration capability of visible light hinders CO generation in deep-seated tissues. Herein, a photothermal CO2 catalyst (abbreviated as NNBCs) to achieve an efficient hyperthermic effect and in situ CO generation is rationally developed, to simultaneously suppress bacterial proliferation and relieve inflammatory responses. The NNBCs are modified with a special polyethylene glycol and further embellished by bicarbonate (BC) decoration via ferric ion-mediated coordination. Upon exposure to 1064 nm laser irradiation, the NNBCs facilitated efficient photothermal conversion and in situ CO generation through photothermal CO2 catalysis. Specifically, the photothermal effect accelerated the decomposition of BC to produce CO2 for photothermal catalytic CO production. Benefiting from the hyperthermic effect and in situ CO production, in vivo assessments using an osteomyelitis model confirmed that NNBCs can simultaneously inhibit bacterial proliferation and attenuate the photothermal effect-associated pro-inflammatory response. This study represents the first attempt to develop high-performance photothermal CO2 nanocatalysts to achieve in situ CO generation for the concurrent inhibition of bacterial growth and attenuation of inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Bone tumors, particularly osteosarcoma, are prevalent among children and adolescents. This ailment has emerged as the second most frequent cause of cancer-related mortality in adolescents. Conventional treatment methods comprise extensive surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Consequently, the management of bone tumors and bone regeneration poses significant clinical challenges. Photothermal tumor therapy has attracted considerable attention owing to its minimal invasiveness and high selectivity. However, key challenges have limited its widespread clinical use. Enhancing the tumor specificity of photosensitizers through targeting or localized activation holds potential for better outcomes with fewer adverse effects. Combinations with chemotherapies or immunotherapies also present avenues for improvement. In this review, we provide an overview of the most recent strategies aimed at overcoming the limitations of photothermal therapy (PTT), along with current research directions in the context of bone tumors, including (1) target strategies, (2) photothermal therapy combined with multiple therapies (immunotherapies, chemotherapies, and chemodynamic therapies, magnetic, and photodynamic therapies), and (3) bifunctional scaffolds for photothermal therapy and bone regeneration. We delve into the pros and cons of these combination methods and explore current research focal points. Lastly, we address the challenges and prospects of photothermal combination therapy.

Abstract
Cancer treatment requires precise tumor-specific targeting at specific sites that allows for high-resolution diagnostic imaging and long-term patient-tailorable cancer therapy; while, minimizing side effects largely arising from non-targetability. This can be realized by harnessing exogenous remote stimuli, such as tissue-penetrative ultrasound, magnetic field, light, and radiation, that enable local activation for cancer imaging and therapy in deep tumors. A myriad of nanomedicines can be efficiently activated when the energy of such remote stimuli can be transformed into another type of energy. This review discusses the remote control of energy transformation for targetable, efficient, and long-term cancer imaging and therapy. Such ultrasonic, magnetic, photonic, radiative, and radioactive energy can be transformed into mechanical, thermal, chemical, and radiative energy to enable a variety of cancer imaging and treatment modalities. The current review article describes multimodal energy transformation where a serial cascade or multiple types of energy transformation occur. This review includes not only mechanical, chemical, hyperthermia, and radiation therapy but also emerging thermoelectric, pyroelectric, and piezoelectric therapies for cancer treatment. It also illustrates ultrasound, magnetic resonance, fluorescence, computed tomography, photoluminescence, and photoacoustic imaging-guided cancer therapies. It highlights afterglow imaging that can eliminate autofluorescence for sustained signal emission after the excitation.

Dye-augmented bandgap engineering of a degradable cascade nanoreactor for tumor immune microenvironment-enhanced dynamic phototherapy of breast cancer. Acta Biomater 2024; 176:390-404. [PMID: 38244657 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
Non-invasive precision tumor dynamic phototherapy has broad application prospects. Traditional semiconductor materials have low photocatalytic activity and low reactive oxygen species (ROS) production rate due to their wide band gap, resulting in unsatisfactory phototherapy efficacy for tumor treatment. Employing the dye-sensitization mechanism can significantly enhance the catalytic activity of the materials. We develop a multifunctional nanoplatform (BZP) by leveraging the benefits of bismuth-based semiconductor nanomaterials. BZP possesses robust ROS generation and remarkable near-infrared photothermal conversion capabilities for improving tumor immune microenvironment and achieving superior phototherapy sensitization. BZP produces highly cytotoxic ROS species via the photocatalytic process and cascade reaction, amplifying the photocatalytic therapy effect. Moreover, the simultaneous photothermal effect during the photocatalytic process facilitates the improvement of therapeutic efficacy. Additionally, BZP-mediated phototherapy can trigger the programmed death of tumor cells, stimulate dendritic cell maturation and T cell activation, modulate the tumor immune microenvironment, and augment the therapeutic effect. Hence, this study demonstrates a promising research paradigm for tumor immune microenvironment-improved phototherapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Through the utilization of dye sensitization and rare earth doping techniques, we have successfully developed a biodegradable bismuth-based semiconductor nanocatalyst (BZP). Upon optical excitation, the near-infrared dye incorporated within BZP promptly generates free electrons, which, under the influence of the Fermi energy level, undergo transfer to BiF3 within BZP, thereby facilitating the effective separation of electron-hole pairs and augmenting the catalytic capability for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Furthermore, a cascade reaction mechanism generates highly cytotoxic ROS, which synergistically depletes intracellular glutathione, thereby intensifying oxidative stress. Ultimately, this dual activation strategy, combining oxidative and thermal damage, holds significant potential for tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
The free radical generation efficiency of nanozymes in cancer therapy is crucial, but current methods fall short. Alloy nanoparticles (ANs) hold promise for improving catalytic performance due to their inherent electronic effect, but there are limited ways to modulate this effect. Here, a self-driven electric field (E) system utilizing triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and AuPd ANs with glucose oxidase (GOx)-like, catalase (CAT)-like, and peroxidase (POD)-like activities is presented to enhance the treatment of 4T1 breast cancer in mice. The E stimulation from TENG enhances the orbital electrons of AuPd ANs, resulting in increased CAT-like, GOx-like, and POD-like activities. Meanwhile, the catalytic cascade reaction of AuPd ANs is further amplified after catalyzing the production of H2 O2 from the GOx-like activities. This leads to 89.5% tumor inhibition after treatment. The self-driven E strategy offers a new way to enhance electronic effects and improve cascade catalytic therapeutic performance of AuPd ANs in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric materials are considered unique biomedical materials due to their dielectric crystals and asymmetric centers that allow them to directly convert various primary forms of energy in the environment, such as sunlight, mechanical energy, and thermal energy, into secondary energy, such as electricity and chemical energy. These materials possess exceptional energy conversion ability and excellent catalytic properties, which have led to their widespread usage within biomedical fields. Numerous biomedical applications have demonstrated great potential with these materials, including disease treatment, biosensors, and tissue engineering. For example, piezoelectric materials are used to stimulate cell growth in bone regeneration, while pyroelectric materials are applied in skin cancer detection and imaging. Ferroelectric materials have even found use in neural implants that record and stimulate electrical activity in the brain. This paper reviews the relationship between ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and pyroelectric effects and the fundamental principles of different catalytic reactions. It also highlights the preparation methods of these three materials and the significant progress made in their biomedical applications. The review concludes by presenting key challenges and future prospects for efficient catalysts based on piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

[PMID: 38162771 PMCID: PMC10753745 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Synergistic mild photothermal/nanozyme therapy with outstanding hyperthermia performance and excellent multienzyme properties is highly needed for osteosarcoma treatment. Herein, we have developed efficient single-atom nanozymes (SANs) consisting of Mn sites atomically dispersed on nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (denoted as Mn-SANs) for synergistic mild photothermal/multienzymatic therapy against osteosarcoma. Benefiting from their black N-doped carbon nanosheet matrices, Mn-SANs showed an excellent NIR-II-triggered photothermal effect. On the other hand, Mn-SANs with atomically dispersed Mn sites have outstanding multienzyme activities. Mn-SANs can catalyze endogenous H2O2 in osteosarcoma into O2 by catalase (CAT)-like activity, which can effectively ease osteosarcoma hypoxia and trigger the oxidase (OXD)-like catalysis that converts O2 to the cytotoxic superoxide anion radical (•O2-). At the same time, Mn-SANs can also mimic glutathione oxidase (GSHOx) to effectively consume the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) in osteosarcoma and inhibit intracellular glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression. Such intratumoral •O2- production, GSH depletion, and GPX4 inactivation mediated by Mn-SANs can create a large accumulation of lipid peroxides (LPO) and •O2-, leading to oxidative stress and disrupting the redox homeostasis in osteosarcoma cells, which can ultimately induce osteosarcoma cell death. More importantly, heat shock proteins (HSPs) can be significantly destroyed via Mn-SAN-mediated plentiful LPO and •O2- generation, thus effectively impairing osteosarcoma cells resistant to mild photothermal therapy. Overall, through the cooperative effect of chemical processes (boosting •O2-, consuming GSH, and enhancing LPO) and biological processes (inactivating GPX4 and hindering HSPs), collaborative mild photothermal/multienzymatic therapy mediated by Mn-SANs is a promising strategy for efficient osteosarcoma treatment.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are effective method for tumor treatment. However, the limited variety and quantity of photothermal agents (PTAs) and photosensitizer (PSs) are still major challenges. Moreover, the cell apoptosis mechanism induced by PDT and PTT is still elusive. A fused-ring small molecule acceptor-donor acceptor' donor-acceptor (A-DA'D-A) type of Y5 (Scheme 1) has a narrow band-gap and strong light absorption. Herein, we used Y5 to polymerize with thiophene unit to obtain polymer PYT based on polymerized small molecule strategy, and PYT nanoparticles (PYT NPs) was prepared via one-step nanoprecipitation strategy with DSPE-PEG2000. PYT NPs had excellent biocompatibility, good photostability, high photothermal conversion efficiency (67%) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production capacity under 808 nm laser irradiation (PYT NPs + NIR). In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that PYT NPs + NIR had the ability to completely ablate tumor cells. It was demonstrated that cell apoptosis induced by PYT NPs + NIR was closely related to mitochondrial damage. This study provides valuable guidance for constructing high-performance organic PTAs and PSs for tumor treatment. Scheme 1 PYT enabled by polymerized small molecule strategy for tumor photothermal and photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Mild-temperature photothermal therapy (mPTT) has shown some advantages over traditional photothermal therapy, such as reducing the damage to surrounding healthy tissues and minimizing side effects. Nevertheless, cancer cells can easily repair damage caused by mild hyperthermia due to heat shock proteins (HSPs). Thus, it is imperative to maximize the mPTT efficiency by down-regulating HSPs overexpression and combining other cancer treatments. Herein, we report the synthesis of phytic acid (PA)-Cu2+ framework/copper sulfide (Cu2-xS) nanocomposites (abbreviated as PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs) as the novel therapeutic platform that can down-regulate HSPs overexpression for enhanced multimodal mPTT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/chemotherapy. PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs were prepared through self-assembly and in-situ vulcanization strategy, resulting in irregular-shaped particles with an approximate size of 100 nm. PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs display a plasmon effect from Cu2-xS, which enhances near-infrared (NIR) absorption and possesses excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (41.7%). Moreover, PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs exhibit Fenton-like reaction activity resulting from the Cu ions for CDT, and the reaction activity can be further improved 1.3 times due to mild hyperthermia during mPTT. Furthermore, the generated hydroxyl radical (•OH) can effectively decrease HSPs level to enhance mPTT. PA-Cu/Cu2-xS NPs can also serve as a drug delivery system, and they are capable of loading doxorubicin (DOX) with a loading ability (20.7%). Combining mPTT/CDT/chemotherapy exhibits significant inhibition of tumor growth. This approach can serve as a basis for designing more exquisite platforms that combine mPTT with other therapies to achieve more effective cancer treatment.

Abstract
Multicomponent deoxyribozymes (MNAzymes) have great potential in gene therapy, but their ability to recognize disease tissue and further achieve synergistic gene regulation has rarely been studied. Herein, Arginylglycylaspartic acid (RGD)-modified Distearyl acylphosphatidyl ethanolamine (DSPE)-polyethylene glycol (PEG) (DSPE-PEG-RGD) micelle is prepared with a DSPE hydrophobic core to load the photothermal therapy (PTT) dye IR780 and the calcium efflux pump inhibitor curcumin. Then, the MNAzyme is distributed into the hydrophilic PEG layer and sealed with calcium phosphate through biomineralization. Moreover, RGD is attached to the outer tail of PEG for tumor targeting. The constructed nanomachine can release MNAzyme and the cofactor Ca2+ under acidic conditions and self-assemble into an active mode to cleave heat shock protein (HSP) mRNA by consuming the oncogene miRNA-21. Silencing miRNA-21 enhances the expression of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN, leading to PTT sensitization. Meanwhile, curcumin maintains high intracellular Ca2+ to further suppress HSP-chaperone ATP by disrupting mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis. Therefore, pancreatic cancer is triple-sensitized to IR780-mediated PTT. The in vitro and in vivo results show that the MNAzyme-based nanomachine can strongly regulate HSP and PTEN expression and lead to significant pancreatic tumor inhibition under laser irradiation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, carbonyl, chlorine, bromine, and iodine species (RXS, where X = O, N, S, C, Cl, Br, and I) have important roles in various normal physiological processes and act as essential regulators of cell metabolism; their inherent biological activities govern cell signaling, immune balance, and tissue homeostasis. However, an imbalance between RXS production and consumption will induce the occurrence and development of various diseases. Due to the considerable progress of nanomedicine, a variety of nanosystems that can regulate RXS has been rationally designed and engineered for restoring RXS balance to halt the pathological processes of different diseases. The invention of radical-regulating nanomaterials creates the possibility of intriguing projects for disease treatment and promotes advances in nanomedicine. In this comprehensive review, we summarize, discuss, and highlight very-recent advances in RXS-based nanomedicine for versatile disease treatments. This review particularly focuses on the types and pathological effects of these reactive species and explores the biological effects of RXS-based nanomaterials, accompanied by a discussion and the outlook of the challenges faced and future clinical translations of RXS nanomedicines.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has attracted increasing attention owing to its high tumor specificity and low number of side effects. However, the low absolute concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within tumor cells restricts the CDT efficacy. Herein, we use dihydroartemisinin (DHA) to enhance the CDT efficacy and combine photothermal therapy (PTT) to further improve the anticancer effect. To achieve such a goal, an iron-containing semiconducting oligomer nanoparticle (DHA@FePSOD) is prepared by loading DHA into a Fe3+-chelated NIR-II fluorescent semiconducting oligomer (FePSOD). The Fe3+ ion within DHA@FePSOD can be reduced to the Fe2+ ion by glutathione (GSH) and subsequently catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into the highly toxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) for CDT. The loaded DHA may be further reduced by Fe2+ and generate a DHA radical to enhance the CDT efficacy. In addition, DHA@FePSOD shows a good photothermal effect and intense NIR-II fluorescence signal under 808 nm laser irradiation. Both in vitro and in vivo studies prove the better anticancer effect of DHA@FePSOD than FePSOD, which is attributed to the loaded DHA. Furthermore, DHA@FePSOD can effectively accumulate into a tumor and delineate the tumor via NIR-II fluorescence imaging. This study thus provides an efficient approach for developing a NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided enhanced chemodynamic/photothermal combination therapeutic nanoplatform.

Abstract
The exogenous excitation requirement and electron-hole recombination are the key elements limiting the application of catalytic therapies. Here a tumor microenvironment (TME)-specific self-triggered thermoelectric nanoheterojunction (Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3/CaO2 nanosheets, BST/CaO2 NSs) with self-built-in electric field facilitated charge separation is fabricated. Upon exposure to TME, the CaO2 coating undergoes rapid hydrolysis, releasing Ca2+, H2O2, and heat. The resulting temperature difference on the BST NSs initiates a thermoelectric effect, driving reactive oxygen species production. H2O2 not only serves as a substrate supplement for ROS generation but also dysregulates Ca2+ channels, preventing Ca2+ efflux. This further exacerbates calcium overload-mediated therapy. Additionally, Ca2+ promotes DC maturation and tumor antigen presentation, facilitating immunotherapy. It is worth noting that the CaO2 NP coating hydrolyzes very slowly in normal cells, releasing Ca2+ and O2 without causing any adverse effects. Tumor-specific self-triggered thermoelectric nanoheterojunction combined catalytic therapy, ion interference therapy, and immunotherapy exhibit excellent antitumor performance in female mice.

Abstract
Colitis-associated colorectal cancer, which represents a highly aggressive subtypes of colorectal cancer, requires concurrent antitumor and anti-inflammation therapies in clinic. Herein, we successfully engineered Ru38Pd34Ni28 ultrathin trimetallic nanosheets (TMNSs) by introducing diverse transition metal atoms into the structure of RuPd nanosheets. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the elaborate introduction of transition metal Ru and Ni facilitates the formation of Ru-O and Ni-O bonds on the surface of TMNSs for efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) scavenging, respectively. Moreover, the engineered abundant atomic vacancies on their surface conspicuously improve the performance in eliminating reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). The designed TMNSs act as a multi-metallic nanocatalyst with RONS elimination performance for chronic colitis treatment by relieving inflammation, as well as photothermal conversion capability for colon cancer therapy by inducing hyperthermia effect. Profiting from the excellent RONS scavenging activities, TMNSs can down-regulate the expression levels of the pro-inflammatory factors, thereby leading to prominent therapeutic efficacy against dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis. Benefiting from the high photothermal performance, TMNSs cause significant suppression of CT-26 tumors without obvious recurrence. This work provides a distinct paradigm to design multi-metallic nanozymes for colon disease treatment by elaborate introduction of transition metal atoms and engineering of atomic vacancies.

Abstract
The fast conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) into reactive oxygen species (ROS) at tumor sites is a promising anticancer strategy by manipulating nanomedicines with near-infrared light in the second region (NIR-II). However, this strategy is greatly compromised by the powerful antioxidant capacity of tumors and the limited ROS generation rate of nanomedicines. This dilemma mainly stems from the lack of an effective synthesis method to support high-density copper-based nanocatalysts on the surface of photothermal nanomaterials. Herein, a multifunctional nanoplatform (MCPQZ) with high-density cuprous (Cu2 O) supported molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) nanoflowers (MC NFs) is developed for the efficient killing of tumors via a potent ROS storm by an innovative method. Under NIR-II light irradiation, the ROS intensity and maximum reaction velocity (Vmax ) produced by MC NFs are 21.6 and 33.8 times that of the non-irradiation group in vitro, which is much higher than most current nanomedicines. Moreover, the strong ROS storm in cancer cells is efficiently formed by MCPQZ (increased by 27.8 times compared to the control), thanks to the fact that MCPQZ effectively pre-weakens the multiple antioxidant systems of cancer cells. This work provides a novel insight to solve the bottleneck of ROS-based cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cancer phototherapy experiences limitations in tissue diffusion and cell internalization of phototherapeutic agents and dose-dependent side effects. Herein, Janus pyroelectric nanoparticles (NPs) are designed to generate self-powered motion and built-in electric fields to overcome the delivery barriers. Polydopamine (PDA) layers are partially coated on tetragonal BaTiO3 (tBT) NPs to prepare Janus tBT@PDA, and Au NPs are deposited on the PDA caps to obtain Janus tBT@PDA-Au NPs. Near-infrared (NIR) illumination of tBT@PDA-Au builds in situ pyroelectric potentials on NPs, which selectively affect the membrane potential of tumor cells rather than normal cells to enhance tumor cell internalization and produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) for pyroelectric dynamic therapy (PEDT). The asymmetric photothermal effect of the Janus NPs creates thermophoretic force to propel NP motion, which enhances tumor diffusion and cellular uptake of NPs and boosts cytotoxicity and intracellular ROS levels. The inoculation of Au NPs increases the photothermal effect, exhibits larger motion velocities, produces higher pyroelectric potentials, and elevates cellular uptake rates, resulting in significant induction of tumor cell apoptosis, suppression of tumor growth, and extension of animal survival. Thus, the concise design of tBT@PDA-Au/NIR treatment has achieved thermophoretic motion-promoted tissue diffusion, built-in electric field-enhanced cell internalization, and photothermal/PEDT-synergized antitumor efficacy.

Abstract
Malignant bone tumors result in high rates of disability and death and are difficult to treat in terms of killing tumors and repairing bone defects. Compared with other hyperthermia strategies, magnetic hyperthermia has become an effective therapy for treating malignant bone tumors due to its lack of depth limitations. However, tumor cells express heat shock protein (HSP) to resist hyperthermia, which reduces its curative effect. Competitive ATP consumption can reduce HSP production; fortunately, the basic principle of starvation therapy by glucose oxidase (GOx) is consuming glucose to control ATP production, thereby restricting HSP generation. We developed a triple-functional magnetic gel (Fe3O4/GOx/MgCO3@PLGA) as a magnetic bone repair hydrogels (MBRs) with liquid‒solid phase transition capability to drive magneto-thermal effects to simultaneously trigger GOx release and inhibit ATP production, reducing HSP expression and thereby achieving synergistic therapy for osteosarcoma treatment. Moreover, magnetic hyperthermia improves the effect of starvation therapy on the hypoxic microenvironment and achieves a reciprocal strengthening therapeutic effect. We further demonstrated that in situ MBRs injection effectively suppressed tumor growth in 143B osteosarcoma tumor-bearing mice and an in-situ bone tumor model in the rabbit tibial plateau. More importantly, our study also showed that liquid MBRs could effectively match bone defects and accelerate their reconstruction via magnesium ion release and enhanced osteogenic differentiation to augment the regeneration of bone defects caused by bone tumors, which generates fresh insight into malignant bone tumor treatment and the acceleration of bone defect repair.

Abstract
Activatable prodrugs have drawn considerable attention for cancer cell ablation owing to their high specificity in drug delivery systems. However, phototheranostic prodrugs with dual organelle-targeting and synergistic effects are still rare due to low intelligence of their structures. Besides, the cell membrane, exocytosis, and diffusional hindrance by the extracellular matrix reduce drug uptake. Moreover, the up-regulation of heat shock protein and short singlet-oxygen lifetime in cancer cells hamper photo-ablation efficacy, especially in the mono-therapeutic model. To overcome those obstacles, we prepare an esterase-activated DM nano-prodrug, which is conjugated by diiodine-substituted fluorogenic malachite green derivative (MG-2I) and phototherapeutic agent DPP-OH via hydrolyzable ester linkage, having pH-responsiveness and genetically targetable activity for dual organelles-targeting to optimize photo-ablation efficacy. The DM nanoparticles (NPs) present improved pH-responsive photothermal/photodynamic property by the protonation of diethylaminophenyl units in acidic environment. More importantly, the MG-2I and DPP-OH moieties can be released from DM nano-prodrug through overexpressed esterase; then specifically target lysosomes and mitochondria in CT-26 Mito-FAP cells. Hence, near-infrared DM NPs can trigger parallel damage in dual-organelles with strong fluorescence and effective phototoxicity, thus inducing serious mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptotic death, showing excellent photo-ablation effect based on esterase-activated, pH-responsive, and genetically targetable activities.

Abstract
Collateral damage to healthy tissue, uneven heat distribution, inflammatory diseases, and tumor metastasis induction hinder the translation of high-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) from bench to practical clinical applications. In this report, a multifunctional gold nanorod (GNR)-based nanosystem was designed by attaching siRNA against B7-H3 (B7-H3si), glucose oxidase (GOx), and hyaluronic acid (HA) for efficient low-temperature PTT. Herein, GOx can not only exhaust glucose to induce starvation therapy but also reduce the heat shock protein (HSP), realizing the ablation of tumors without damage to healthy tissues. Evidence shows that B7-H3, a type I transmembrane glycoprotein molecule, plays essential roles in growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. By initiating the downregulation of B7-H3 by siRNA, siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs may promote the effectiveness of treatment. By targeting cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) and depleting B7-H3 and HSPs sequentially, siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs showed 12.9-fold higher lung distribution than siRNA-GOx/GNR NPs. Furthermore, 50% of A549-bearing mice in the siRNA-GOx/GNR NPs group survived over 50 days. Overall, this low-temperature phototherapeutic nanosystem provides an appropriate strategy for eliminating cancer with high treatment effectiveness and minimal systemic toxicity. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To realize efficient tumor ablation under mild low-temperature (42-45 ℃) and RNA interference simultaneously, here we developed a multifunctional gold nanorod (GNR)-based nanosystem (siRNA-GOx/GNR@HA NPs). This nanoplatform can significantly inhibit tumor cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis by downregulation of HSP90α, HSP70, B7-H3, p-AKT, and p-ERK and upregulation of cleaved caspase-9 at mild low-temperature due to its superior tumor homing ability and the combined effect of photothermal effect, glucose deprivation-initiated tumor starvation, and B7-H3 gene silence effect. It is believed that this multifunctional low-temperature photothermal nanosystem with efficient and specific anticancer properties, shows a potential application in clinical tumor treatment.

Abstract
Ferroptosis plays an important role in tumor inhibition and is a new type of programmed cell death. Recent studies have shown that glutathione (GSH) depletion is an effective method to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of ferroptosis; however, a systematic investigation of the phenomenon is limited. Herein, we provide a facile fluorescence imaging-incorporated transcriptome strategy to visualize the process and explore the mechanism of GSH depletion-enhanced ferroptosis. The proposed multifunctional nanoplatform is achieved using simple transferrin receptor aptamer-functionalized fluorescent gold nanoclusters (termed TfRA-AuNCs), which exhibit efficient hydroxyl radical generation and GSH-depleting capabilities. Live cell fluorescence imaging results revealed that TfRA-AuNCs were endocytosed into 4T1 cells and were mostly distributed in lysosomes. In vitro results indicated that TfRA-AuNCs enhanced the ferroptosis effect in 4T1 cells. Importantly, transcriptome analysis indicated that 4T1 cells treated with TfRA-AuNCs regulated the expression change of ferroptosis-related genes, and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway identified the GSH metabolism pathway involved in ferroptosis, thus revealing the exact molecular mechanism of ferroptosis induced by TfRA-AuNCs at the RNA level. Furthermore, in vivo results confirmed the tumor inhibition effect, tumor-targeted fluorescence imaging, and long-term biocompatibility after TfRA-AuNC treatment. This study introduces a new possibility for the mechanistic study of nanoagent-induced ferroptosis in tumor treatment.

Abstract
With the flourishing development of material simulation methods (quantum chemistry methods, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, phase field, etc.), extensive adoption of computing technologies (high-throughput, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc.), and the invention of high-performance computing equipment, computational simulation tools have sparked the fundamental mechanism-level explorations to predict the diverse physicochemical properties and biological effects of biomaterials and investigate their enormous application potential for disease prevention, diagnostics, and therapeutics.

The theoretical calculation of the physiochemical properties/biological performance of biomaterials applied in disease diagnosis, drug delivery, disease therapeutics, and specific paradigms such as biomimetic biomaterials is discussed. Additionally, the biosafety evaluation applications of theoretical simulations of biomaterials are presented. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of such computational simulations for biomaterials development are clarified.

Abstract
Although positron emission tomography (PET) imaging products targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have been approved for marketing, clinical challenges remain in the study of its use as a therapeutic target, such as the complex synthesis process and side effects after treatment. Here, we developed a strategy for targeted photothermal therapy (PTT) using PSMA as the target. The results of molecular docking demonstrated that the synthesized PEG modified urea-based PSMA inhibitor (small molecular PSMA inhibitor, PI) PI-PEG has a high affinity energy (binding energy = - 8.3 kcal mol-1) for the PSMA target. Therefore, modification of PI-PEG onto the surface of gold@polydopamine (Au@PDA) with NIR-II absorption could enable targeted PTT against PSMA. This work revealed that the prepared Au@PDA/PEG-PI were not only highly selective for PSMA, but also could efficiently ablate PSMA expression by targeted PTT at the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) of the NIR-II laser. Moreover, Au@PDA/PEG-PI also have potential for photoacoustic (PA) imaging and computed tomography (CT) imaging. As the first strategy to downregulate the expression of PSMA and successfully inhibit prostate cancer by targeted PTT, this study case provides a new idea for the clinical translation of PSMA as an integrated target for tumor diagnosis and anti-tumor treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (1) Au@PDA/PEG-PI NPs were the novel PTT agent to target PSMA and successfully down-regulate PSMA expression. (2) Molecular docking results demonstrated that PI-PEG inhibitors have a high affinity energy for PSMA (binding energy = - 8.3 kcal mol-1). (3) Au@PDA/PEG-PI NPs can be targeted for efficient PTT at the MPE of the NIR-II laser. (4) Au@PDA/PEG-PI NPs also have the potential for PA and CT imaging.

Abstract
In this work, explicitly pyro-catalytic performance is observed in sol-gel-synthesized ferroelectric Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 lead-free nanomaterials, and its application for dye wastewater purification is also actualized under temperature fluctuations varying from 23 °C to 63 °C. The decomposition ratios of the pyro-catalytic Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 nanomaterials on Rhodamine B, methyl blue and methyl orange can reach 96.75%, 98.35% and 19.97%, respectively. In the pyro-catalytic process, the probed active species such as hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals and holes play an extremely important role in decomposing dye molecules. The ferroelectric Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 lead-free nanomaterials will have an excellent prospect for dye wastewater purification due to its explicit pyro-catalysis.

[PMID: 36348441 PMCID: PMC9641873 DOI: 10.1186/s40824-022-00308-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) light-triggered photothermal therapy (PTT) has been regarded as a promising candidate for cancer treatment, but PTT alone often fails to achieve satisfactory curative outcomes. Hollow nanoplatforms prove to be attractive in the biomedical field owing to the merits including good biocompatibility, intrinsic physical-chemical nature and unique hollow structures, etc. On one hand, hollow nanoplatforms themselves can be NIR-II photothermal agents (PTAs), the cavities of which are able to carry diverse therapeutic units to realize multi-modal therapies. On the other hand, NIR-II PTAs are capable of decorating on the surface to combine with the functions of components encapsulated inside the hollow nanoplatforms for synergistic cancer treatment. Notably, PTAs generally can serve as good photoacoustic imaging (PAI) contrast agents (CAs), which means such kind of hollow nanoplatforms are also expected to be multifunctional all-in-one nanotheranostics. In this review, the recent advances of NIR-II hollow nanoplatforms for single-modal PTT, dual-modal PTT/photodynamic therapy (PDT), PTT/chemotherapy, PTT/catalytic therapy and PTT/gas therapy as well as multi-modal PTT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/chemotherapy, PTT/chemo/gene therapy and PTT/PDT/CDT/starvation therapy (ST)/immunotherapy are summarized for the first time. Before these, the typical synthetic strategies for hollow structures are presented, and lastly, potential challenges and perspectives related to these novel paradigms for future research and clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
Nanodynamic therapy (NDT) based on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation has been envisioned as a distinct modality for efficient cancer treatment. However, insufficient ROS generation and partial ROS consumption frequently limit the theraputic effect and outcome of NDT owing to the low oxygen (O2) tension and high glutathione (GSH) level in tumor microenvironment (TME). To circumvent these critical issues, we herein proposed and engineered the biodegradable GSH-depletion Mn(III)-riched manganese oxide nanospikes (MnOx NSs) with the photosynthetic bacterial cyanobacteria (Cyan) as a high-efficient and synergistic platform to reshape TME by simultaneously increasing oxygen content and decreasing GSH level. Specifically, under the trigger of acidity, MnOx NSs reacted with photosynthetic oxygen can generate toxic singlet oxygen (1O2). Moreover, MnOx NSs significantly reduced intracellular GSH, resulting in decreased GPX4 activity, which induced tumor cell non-apoptotic ferroptosis. Consequently, this combined strategy based on coadministration with Cyan and MnOx NSs demonstrated the superior antitumor efficacy via amplification of oxidative stress in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice for the synergetic oxygen-augmented nanodynamic/ferroptosis therapy. This work highlights a facile synergistic micro-/nano-system with the specific capability of reshaping TME to augment the sensitivity and therapeutic efficacy of NDT in solid hypoxic tumor therapy.

Nectin-4-targeted immunoSPECT/CT imaging and photothermal therapy of triple-negative breast cancer. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:243. [PMID: 35614462 PMCID: PMC9131648 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01444-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is more prone to distant metastasis and visceral recurrence in comparison to other breast cancer subtypes, and is related to dismal prognosis. Nevertheless, TNBC has an undesirable response to targeted therapies. Therefore, to tackle the huge challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of TNBC, Nectin-4 was selected as a theranostic target because it was recently found to be highly expressed in TNBC. We developed anti-Nectin-4 monoclonal antibody (mAbNectin-4)-based theranostic pair, 99mTc-HYNIC-mAbNectin-4 and mAbNectin-4-ICG. 99mTc-HYNIC-mAbNectin-4 was applied to conduct immuno-single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for TNBC diagnosis and classification, and mAbNectin-4-ICG to mediate photothermal therapy (PTT) for relieving TNBC tumor growth. METHODS Nectin-4 expression levels of breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-468: TNBC cells; and MCF-7, non-TNBC cells) were proved by western blot, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence imagning. Cell uptake assays, SPECT imaging, and biodistribution were performed to evaluate Nectin-4 targeting of 99mTc-HYNIC-mAbNectin-4. A photothermal agent (PTA) mAbNectin-4-ICG was generated and characterized. In vitro photothermal therapy (PTT) mediated by mAbNectin-4-ICG was conducted under an 808 nm laser. Fluorescence (FL) imaging was performed for mAbNectin-4-ICG mapping in vivo. In vivo PTT treatment effects on TNBC tumors and corresponding systematic toxicity were evaluated. RESULTS Nectin-4 is overexpressed in MDA-MB-468 TNBC cells, which could specifically uptake 99mTc-HYNIC-mAbNectin-4 with high targeting in vitro. The corresponding immunoSPECT imaging demonstrated exceptional performance in TNBC diagnosis and molecular classification. mAbNectin-4-ICG exhibited favourable biocompatibility, photothermal effects, and Nectin-4 targeting. FL imaging mapped biodistribution of mAbNectin-4-ICG with excellent tumor-targeting and retention in vivo. Moreover, mAbNectin-4-ICG-mediated PTT provided advanced TNBC tumor destruction efficiency with low systematic toxicity. CONCLUSION mAbNectin-4-based radioimmunoimaging provides visualization tools for the stratification and diagnosis for TNBC, and the corresponding mAbNectin-4-mediated PTT shows a powerful anti-tumor effect. Our findings demonstrate that this Nectin-4 targeting strategy offers a simple theranostic platform for TNBC.
