Zeolitic imidazolate framework-encapsulated zinc porphyrin photoresponsive nanozyme for colorimetric/fluorescent dual-mode sensing of glyphosate. Talanta 2024; 276:126253. [PMID: 38759359 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126253] [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: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
A novel zeolitic imidazolate framework-encapsulated zinc porphyrin (ZnTCPP@ZIF-90) photoresponsive nanozyme is proposed for the colorimetric/fluorescent dual-mode visual sensing of glyphosate (Gly). ZnTCPP@ZIF-90 exhibits photoresponsive oxidase-like activity and fluorescence quenching behavior. Meanwhile, the outer ZIF-90 layer can be selectively destroyed by Gly, causing the release of free ZnTCPP, resulting in the enhanced enzyme-like activity as well as fluorescence emission. The constructed ZnTCPP@ZIF-90 was successfully used for the colorimetric/fluorescent dual-mode detection of Gly. Additionally, the colorimetric and fluorescent images information captured by the smartphone were converted to color intensity (HSV/RGB values), with limits of detection of 0.27 μg/mL and 0.19 μg/mL, respectively. The proposed dual-mode sensor exhibits excellent selectivity and reliability for detecting Gly, and can be successfully applied to the analysis of real samples such as tap water, lake water, and fruit washing water. The current research efforts are expected to provide new perspectives for designing highly active photoresponsive nanozymes and their stimuli-responsive sensing systems, paving the way for their applications in portable dual-mode chemical sensing and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Stimulus-responsive injectable hydrogel has the key characteristics of in situ drug-loading ability and the controlled drug release, enabling efficient delivery and precise release of chemotherapy drugs at the tumor site, thereby being used as a local drug delivery system for sustained tumor treatment. This article designed a smart responsive injectable hydrogel loaded with anti-tumor drugs and nanoparticles to achieve efficient and specific synergistic treatment of tumors. Hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel obtained by cross-linking HA-SH (HS) and HA-Tyr (HT) through horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and folic acid-polyethylene glycol-amine (FA-PEG-NH2) modified PDA (denoted as PPF) were encapsulated to construct the HS/HT@PPF/D hydrogel. The hydrogel had good biocompatibility, injectability, and could respond to multiple stimuli at the tumor site, thereby achieving controlled drug release. At the same time, PPF gave it excellent photothermal efficiency, photothermal stability and tumor targeting. In vitro and in vivo experimental results showed that the HS/HT@PPF/D hydrogel combined with near-infrared laser irradiation could significantly improve its anti-tumor effect and could almost eliminate the entire tumor mass without obvious adverse reactions. The HS/HT@PPF/D hydrogel could achieve multi-stimulus-responsive drug delivery and be used for precise chemo-photothermal synergistic tumor treatment, thus providing a new platform for local synergistic tumor treatment.

Supergravity-Steered Generic Manufacturing of Nanosheets-Embedded Nanocomposite Hydrogel with Highly Oriented, Heterogeneous Architecture. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2400075.

Abstract
Designing nanocomposite hydrogels with oriented nanosheets has emerged as a promising toolkit to achieve preferential performances that go beyond their disordered counterparts. Although current fabrication strategies via electric/magnetic force fields have made remarkable achievements, they necessitate special properties of nanosheets and suffer from an inferior orientation degree of nanosheets. Herein, a facile and universal approach is discovered to elaborate MXene-based nanocomposite hydrogels with highly oriented, heterogeneous architecture by virtue of supergravity to replace conventional force fields. The key to such architecture is to leverage bidirectional, force-tunable attributes of supergravity containing coupled orthogonal shear and centrifugal force field for steering high-efficient movement, pre-orientation, and stacking of MXene nanosheets in the bottom. Such a synergetic effect allows for yielding heterogeneous nanocomposite hydrogels with a high-orientation MXene-rich layer (orientation degree, f = 0.83) and a polymer-rich layer. The authors demonstrate that MXene-based nanocomposite hydrogels leverage their high-orientation, heterogeneous architecture to deliver an extraordinary electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of 55.2 dB at 12.4 GHz yet using a super-low MXene of 0.3 wt%, surpassing most hydrogels-based electromagnetic shielding materials. This versatile supergravity-steered strategy can be further extended to arbitrary nanosheets including MoS2, GO, and C3N4, offering a paradigm in the development of oriented nanocomposites.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are known to be secreted by a vast majority of cells. These sEVs, specifically exosomes, induce specific cell-to-cell interactions and can activate signaling pathways in recipient cells through fusion or interaction. These nanovesicles possess several desirable properties, making them ideal for regenerative medicine and nanomedicine applications. These properties include exceptional stability, biocompatibility, wide biodistribution, and minimal immunogenicity. However, the practical utilization of sEVs, particularly in clinical settings and at a large scale, is hindered by the expensive procedures required for their isolation, limited circulation lifetime, and suboptimal targeting capacity. Despite these challenges, sEVs have demonstrated a remarkable ability to accommodate various cargoes and have found extensive applications in the biomedical sciences. To overcome the limitations of sEVs and broaden their potential applications, researchers should strive to deepen their understanding of current isolation, loading, and characterization techniques. Additionally, acquiring fundamental knowledge about sEVs origins and employing state-of-the-art methodologies in nanomedicine and regenerative medicine can expand the sEVs research scope. This review provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art exosome-based strategies in diverse nanomedicine domains, encompassing cancer therapy, immunotherapy, and biomarker applications. Furthermore, we emphasize the immense potential of exosomes in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Liver diseases are classified as acute liver damage and chronic liver disease, with recurring liver damage causing liver fibrosis and progression to cirrhosis and hepatoma. Liver transplantation is the only effective treatment for end-stage liver diseases; therefore, novel therapies are required. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are endogenous nanocarriers involved in cell-to-cell communication that play important roles in immune regulation, tissue repair and regeneration. Native EVs can potentially be used for various liver diseases owing to their high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and tissue permeability and engineered EVs with surface modification or cargo loading could further optimize therapeutic effects. In this review, we firstly introduced the mechanisms and effects of native EVs derived from different cells and tissues to treat liver diseases of different etiologies. Additionally, we summarized the possible methods to facilitate liver targeting and improve cargo-loading efficiency. In the treatment of liver disease, the detailed engineered methods and the latest delivery strategies were also discussed. Finally, we pointed out the limitations and challenges of EVs for future development and applications. We hope that this review could provide a useful reference for the development of EVs and promote the clinical translation.

Abstract
Overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in cancer is a key cause of recurrence of cervical cancer (CC). Although the EGF-EGFR pathway has been studied for decades, preventing tumor growth and recurrence caused by peripheral EGF remains a great challenge. In this work, a strategy is proposed to reduce the stimulation of high concentration EGF on tumor growth by using a thermo-sensitive hydrogel. The hydrogel is a triblock copolymer composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and poly (lactide glycolide) (PLGA). Based on the excellent temperature sensitivity, carrier capacity, swelling property and biocompatibility, the hydrogel can absorb the liquid around the tumor by injection and release EGF continuously at low concentration. The inhibitory effect of hydrogel on tumor growth is fully confirmed by an implanted tumor mouse model with human cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa) using triple-immunodeficient NCG mice. Compared with free EGF, the EGF-loaded hydrogel can hardly induce surface plasmon resonance (SPR) response, which proves that hydrogel can effectively weaken cytoskeleton rearrangement and inhibit cell migration by continuously releasing low concentration EGF. In addition, the EGF-loaded hydrogel can reduce cell proliferation by delaying the progress of cell cycle progression. Taken together, the hydrogel can effectively protect tumor microenvironment from the stimulation of high concentration EGF, delay cancer cellular processes and tumor growth, and thus providing an approach for inhibiting tumor recurrence of CC.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, have shown great therapeutic potential in the treatment of diseases, as they can target cells or tissues. However, the therapeutic effect of EVs is limited due to the susceptibility of EVs to immune system clearance during transport in vivo. Hydrogels have become an ideal delivery platform for EVs due to their good biocompatibility and porous structure. This article reviews the preparation and application of EVs-loaded hydrogels as a cell-free therapy strategy in the treatment of diseases. The article also discusses the challenges and future outlook of EVs-loaded hydrogels.

Abstract
In the evolving landscape of water treatment, membrane technology has ascended to an instrumental role, underscored by its unmatched efficacy and ubiquity. Diverse synthesis and modification techniques are employed to fabricate state-of-the-art liquid separation membranes. Click reactions, distinguished by their rapid kinetics, minimal byproduct generation, and simple reaction condition, emerge as a potent paradigm for devising eco-functional materials. While the metal-free thiol-ene click reaction is acknowledged as a viable approach for membrane material innovation, a systematic elucidation of its applicability in liquid separation membrane development remains conspicuously absent. This review elucidates the pre-functionalization strategies of substrate materials tailored for thiol-ene reactions, notably highlighting thiolation and introducing unsaturated moieties. The consequential implications of thiol-ene reactions on membrane properties-including trade-off effect, surface wettability, and antifouling property-are discussed. The application of thiol-ene reaction in fabricating various liquid separation membranes for different water treatment processes, including wastewater treatment, oil/water separation, and ion separation, are reviewed. Finally, the prospects of thiol-ene reaction in designing novel liquid separation membrane, including pre-functionalization, products prediction, and solute-solute separation membrane, are proposed. This review endeavors to furnish invaluable insights, paving the way for expanding the horizons of thiol-ene reaction application in liquid separation membrane fabrication.

Multifunctional and theranostic hydrogels for wound healing acceleration: An emphasis on diabetic-related chronic wounds. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 238:117087. [PMID: 37716390 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/18/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogels represent intricate three-dimensional polymeric structures, renowned for their compatibility with living systems and their ability to naturally degrade. These networks stand as promising and viable foundations for a range of biomedical uses. The practical feasibility of employing hydrogels in clinical trials has been well-demonstrated. Among the prevalent biomedical uses of hydrogels, a significant application arises in the context of wound healing. This intricate progression involves distinct phases of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, often triggered by trauma, skin injuries, and various diseases. Metabolic conditions like diabetes have the potential to give rise to persistent wounds, leading to delayed healing processes. This current review consolidates a collection of experiments focused on the utilization of hydrogels to expedite the recovery of wounds. Hydrogels have the capacity to improve the inflammatory conditions at the wound site, and they achieve this by diminishing levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby exhibiting antioxidant effects. Hydrogels have the potential to enhance the growth of fibroblasts and keratinocytes at the wound site. They also possess the capability to inhibit both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, effectively managing wounds infected by drug-resistant bacteria. Hydrogels can trigger angiogenesis and neovascularization processes, while also promoting the M2 polarization of macrophages, which in turn mitigates inflammation at the wound site. Intelligent and versatile hydrogels, encompassing features such as pH sensitivity, reactivity to reactive oxygen species (ROS), and responsiveness to light and temperature, have proven advantageous in expediting wound healing. Furthermore, hydrogels synthesized using environmentally friendly methods, characterized by high levels of biocompatibility and biodegradability, hold the potential for enhancing the wound healing process. Hydrogels can facilitate the controlled discharge of bioactive substances. More recently, there has been progress in the creation of conductive hydrogels, which, when subjected to electrical stimulation, contribute to the enhancement of wound healing. Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disorder, leads to a slowdown in the wound healing process, often resulting in the formation of persistent wounds. Hydrogels have the capability to expedite the healing of diabetic wounds, facilitating the transition from the inflammatory phase to the proliferative stage. The current review sheds light on the biological functionalities of hydrogels, encompassing their role in modulating diverse mechanisms and cell types, including inflammation, oxidative stress, macrophages, and bacteriology. Additionally, this review emphasizes the significance of smart hydrogels with responsiveness to external stimuli, as well as conductive hydrogels for promoting wound healing. Lastly, the discussion delves into the advancement of environmentally friendly hydrogels with high biocompatibility, aimed at accelerating the wound healing process.

Amino acid-induced rapid gelation and mechanical reinforcement of hydrogels with low-hysteresis and self-recoverable and fatigue-resistant properties. MATERIALS HORIZONS 2023; 10:4303-4316.

Abstract
Hydrogels with rapid gelation ability and robust mechanical properties are highly desirable for nascent applications in biomedical, wearable electronic, industrial and agricultural fields. However, current rapid-gelation hydrogels are compromised by poor mechanical properties, complex design of precursor molecular structures and limited precursor species. Herein, we propose a facile and universal strategy to achieve rapid gelation, strengthening and toughening of free-radical polymerized hydrogels by introducing cheap and accessible amino acids. Amino acids not only activate persulfate to quickly produce free radicals and thus induce fast free radical polymerization, but also can form strong hydrogen bonds with the network chains to strengthen and toughen the hydrogels. For example, with the presence of L-serine, the acrylamide (AM) monomer shows rapid gelation within tens of seconds, and moreover the resulting hydrogel reaches a tensile strength of 0.45 MPa and a breaking strain of 2060%. More importantly, owing to the extremely dynamic feature of the hydrogen bonds between L-serine molecules and network chains, the hydrogel possesses the advantages of low hysteresis, rapid self-recovery capability and outstanding fatigue resistance. Furthermore, this strategy is general to a wide range of amino acids and monomers. We also demonstrate that this rapid, controllable and universal strategy for the fabrication of mechanically robust hydrogels holds tremendous potential for diverse practical applications, such as flexible electronic sensors and ultraviolet (UV)-blocking artificial skins.

Abstract
Highly efficient endocytosis and multi-approach integrated therapeutic tactics are important factors in oncotherapy. With the aid of thermally reversible furan-maleimide dynamic covalent bonds and the "polyprodrug amphiphiles" concept, thermo- and reduction-responsive PEG(-COOH)Fu/MI(-SS-)CPT copolymers were fabricated by the Diels-Alder (D-A) coupling of hydrophilic Fu(-COOH)-PEG and hydrophobic MI(-SS-)-CPT building blocks. The copolymers could self-assemble to form composite nanoparticles with a photothermal conversion reagent (IR780) and maintain excellent stability. In the in vitro simulated environments, the composite nanoparticles could detach Fu(-COOH)-PEG chains by a retro-D-A reaction upon near-infrared light (NIR) irradiation and reduce the size to facilitate endocytosis. Once in the intracellular environment, glutathione (GSH) could trigger a cascade reaction to release active CPT drugs to achieve chemotherapy, which could be further promoted by NIR light induced photothermal therapy. The in vivo mouse tumor model experiments demonstrated that these nanoparticles had an excellent therapeutic effect on solid tumors and inhibited their recurrence. Not only that, the synergistic chemical and optical therapy induced body immune response was also systematically evaluated; the maturation of dendritic cells, the proliferation of T cells, the increase of high mobility group box protein 1, and the decrease of immunosuppressive regulatory T cells confirmed that such synergistic therapy could effectively provide immune protection to the body. We believe such in situ generation of small-sized therapeutic units brought by a dynamically reversible D-A reaction could expand the pathway to design next generation drug delivery systems possessing superior design philosophy and excellent practice effects compared to currently available ones.

Abstract
This study reports the development of new pH-responsive drug delivery systems that are important for the treatment of cancer. The Mentha plant extract was obtained and then used for the biosynthesis of magnetic Ag bio nanoparticles (M-Ag bio-NPs). They were added in the formulation of hybrid hydrogel of k-carrageenan (k-Cr) and chitosan (CS) toward the synthesis of magnetic nanocomposite hydrogels. Their chemical structure and morphology were characterized by different analyses. Doxorubicin (DOX) was used as a model anticancer drug to study the targeted drug release behavior of the synthesized nanocomposite hydrogels (loading capacity: about 98 %). In vitro drug release studies showed that the release profile was noticeably controlled in a pH-dependent manner (higher drug release at pH 5). The antibacterial assessment confirmed the high antibacterial activity for the synthesized hydrogel against S. aureus (MIC values 39.06 μg/mL) and E. coli (MIC values > 19.53). In-vitro cytotoxicity results (MTT assay) demonstrated good biocompatibility (higher than 88 %) for the blank nanocomposite hydrogels, while DOX-loaded nanocomposite hydrogels showed high toxicity (about 22 % in the concentration of 20 μg/mL) against HeLa cells. The results showed that the present nanocomposite hydrogels can be suggested for potential application as an antibacterial and anticancer carrier.

Abstract
Treatment of metastatic cancer is one of the biggest challenges in anticancer therapy. Curcumin is interesting nature polyphenolic compound with unique biological and medicinal effects, including repression of metastases. High impact studies imply that curcumin can modulate the immune system, independently target various metastatic signalling pathways, and repress migration and invasiveness of cancer cells. This review discusses the potential of curcumin as an antimetastatic agent and describes potential mechanisms of its antimetastatic activity. In addition, possible strategies (curcumin formulation, optimization of the method of administration and modification of its structure motif) to overcome its limitation such as low solubility and bioactivity are also presented. These strategies are discussed in the context of clinical trials and relevant biological studies.

Abstract
More than 90% of all liver malignancies are hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), for which chemotherapy and immunotherapy are the ideal therapeutic choices. Hepatocellular carcinoma is descended from other liver diseases, such as viral hepatitis, alcoholism, and metabolic syndrome. Normal cells and tissues may suffer damage from common forms of chemotherapy. In contrast to systemic chemotherapy, localized chemotherapy can reduce side effects by delivering a steady stream of chemotherapeutic drugs directly to the tumor site. This highlights the significance of controlled-release biodegradable hydrogels as drug delivery methods for chemotherapeutics. This review discusses using hydrogels as drug delivery systems for HCC and covers thermosensitive, pH-sensitive, photosensitive, dual-sensitive, and glutathione-responsive hydrogels. Compared to conventional systemic chemotherapy, hydrogel-based drug delivery methods are more effective in treating cancer.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most intractable diseases in the world because of its high recurrence rate, high metastasis rate and high lethality rate. Traditional chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery have unsatisfactory therapeutic effects and cause many severe side effects at the same time. Hydrogel is a new type of biomaterial with the advantages of good biocompatibility and easy degradation, which can be used as a carrier of functional nanomaterials for tumor therapy. Herein, we represent the progress of hydrogels with different skeletons and their application as carrier in tumor treatment. The hydrogels are listed as polyethylene glycol-based hydrogels, chitosan-based hydrogels, peptide-based hydrogels, hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels, steroid-based hydrogels and other hydrogels by skeletons, and their properties, modifications and toxicities were introduced. Some representative applications of combined hydrogels with nanomaterial for chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, sonodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy and synergistic therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
Owing to their tissue-like softness and low modulus, hydrogels minimize the mechanical mismatch with biological tissues and have received wide attention as biomaterials. However, the development of soft hydrogels is often limited by their brittleness. Here, an ultra-soft and tough hydrogel based on zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) was designed and successfully prepared. The obtained PSBMA hydrogel exhibits a unique spike-like micro-structure, low modulus, good stretchability and excellent compressive elasticity, due to the formation of a dual-crosslinking structure. The obtained hydrogel also possesses self-healing properties and electromechanical responses to tensile and compressive deformations. Moreover, the hydrogel has good compatibility attributed to its outstanding anti-protein-adsorption properties. In this article, the authors have developed an ultra-soft and tough dual-crosslinking zwitterionic hydrogel, which possesses a unique spike-like microstructure, low modulus, excellent stretchability and compressibility with self-healing properties.![]()
