Abstract
Skin cancer is a global threat to the healthcare system and is estimated to incline tremendously in the next 20 years, if not diagnosed at an early stage. Even though it is curable at an early stage, novel drug identification, clinical success, and drug resistance is another major challenge. To bridge the gap and bring effective treatment, it is important to understand the etiology of skin carcinoma, the mechanism of cell proliferation, factors affecting cell growth, and the mechanism of drug resistance. The current article focusses on understanding the structural diversity of skin cancers, treatments available till date including phytocompounds, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photothermal therapy, surgery, combination therapy, molecular targets associated with cancer growth and metastasis, and special emphasis on nanotechnology-based approaches for downregulating the deleterious disease. A detailed analysis with respect to types of nanoparticles and their scope in overcoming multidrug resistance as well as associated clinical trials has been discussed.

[PMID: 37576464 PMCID: PMC10417647 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s408981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Wound healing is a continuous and complex process that comprises multiple phases including hemostasis, inflammation, multiplication (proliferation) and remodeling. Although a variety of nanomaterials have been developed to control infection and accelerate wound healing, most of them can only promote one phase but not multiple phases, resulting in lower efficient healing. Although various formulations such as nitric oxide releasing wound dressings were developed for dual action, the nanostructure synthesis and the encapsulation process were complex. Materials and Methods Here, we report on the design of graphene-barium titanate nanosystem to procedural promote the wound healing process. The antibacterial effect was assessed in Gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria (E. coli) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (S. aureus), the cell proliferation and migration experiment was investigated in mouse embryonic fibroblast (NIH-3T3) cells, and the wound healing effect was analyzed in female BALB/c mice with infected skin wound on the back. Results Results showed that graphene-barium titanate nanosystem could generate abundant ROS to kill both E. coli and S. aureus. The growth curves, bacterial viability, colony number formation and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of E. coli and S. aureus all confirmed the antibacterial effect. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay displayed that GBT possesses great biocompatibility. EdU assay showed that GBT plus white light irradiation significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of NIH-3T3 cells. Scratch assay found that GBT could achieve a fast scratch closure compared to the control. In vivo wound healing effect indicates that GBT can accelerate wound repair procedure. Conclusion GBT nanocomposite is capable of programmatically accelerating wound healing through multiple stages, including production of a large amount of ROS after white light exposure to effectively kill E. coli and S. aureus to prevent wound infection and as a scaffold to accelerate fibroblast proliferation and migration to the wound to accelerate wound healing.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy, an alternative that has gained weight and popularity compared to current conventional therapies in the treatment of cancer, is a minimally invasive therapeutic strategy that generally results from the simultaneous action of three factors: a molecule with high sensitivity to light, the photosensitizer, molecular oxygen in the triplet state, and light energy. There is much to be said about each of these three elements; however, the efficacy of the photosensitizer is the most determining factor for the success of this therapeutic modality. Porphyrins, chlorins, phthalocyanines, boron-dipyrromethenes, and cyanines are some of the N-heterocycle-bearing dyes' classes with high biological promise. In this review, a concise approach is taken to these and other families of potential photosensitizers and the molecular modifications that have recently appeared in the literature within the scope of their photodynamic application, as well as how these compounds and their formulations may eventually overcome the deficiencies of the molecules currently clinically used and revolutionize the therapies to eradicate or delay the growth of tumor cells.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are widely used in the biomedical field for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes due to their small size, high carrier capacity, and ease of modification, which enable selective targeting and as contrast agents. Over the past decades, more and more nanoparticles have received regulatory approval to enter the clinic, more nanoparticles have shown potential for clinical translation, and humans have increasing access to them. However, nanoparticles have a high potential to cause unpredictable adverse effects on human organs, tissues, and cells due to their unique physicochemical properties and interactions with DNA, lipids, cells, tissues, proteins, and biological fluids. Currently, issues, such as nanoparticle side effects and toxicity, remain controversial, and these pitfalls must be fully considered prior to their application to body systems. Therefore, it is particularly urgent and important to assess the safety of nanoparticles acting in living organisms. In this paper, we review the important factors influencing the biosafety of nanoparticles in terms of their properties, and introduce common methods to summarize the biosafety evaluation of nanoparticles through in vitro and in body systems.

Abstract
Skin cancer has emerged as the fifth most commonly reported cancer in the world, causing a burden on global health and the economy. The enormously rising environmental changes, industrialization, and genetic modification have further exacerbated skin cancer statistics. Current treatment modalities such as surgery, radiotherapy, conventional chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy are facing several issues related to cost, toxicity, and bioavailability thereby leading to declined anti-skin cancer therapeutic efficacy and poor patient compliance. In the context of overcoming this limitation, several nanotechnological advancements have been witnessed so far. Among various nanomaterials, nanoparticles have endowed exorbitant advantages by acting as both therapeutic agents and drug carriers for the remarkable treatment of skin cancer. The small size and large surface area to volume ratio of nanoparticles escalate the skin tumor uptake through their leaky vasculature resulting in enhanced therapeutic efficacy. In this context, the present review provides up to date information about different types and pathology of skin cancer, followed by their current treatment modalities and associated drawbacks. Furthermore, it meticulously discusses the role of numerous inorganic, polymer, and lipid-based nanoparticles in skin cancer therapy with subsequent descriptions of their patents and clinical trials.

Abstract
Immunotherapy efficacy has been limited by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which are the most abundant immune regulatory cells infiltrating around tumor tissues. The repolarization of pro-tumor M2 TAMs to anti-tumor M1 TAMs is a very promising immunotherapeutic strategy for cancer therapy. In this manuscript, multifunctional 2D iron-based nanosheets (FeNSs) are synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method for the first time, which not only possess photothermal and photodynamic properties, but also can repolarize TAMs from M2 to M1. After modifying with polyethylene glycol and loading with bioreductive prodrug banoxantrone (AQ4N), abbreviated as AP FeNSs, it can effectively repolarize TAMs from M2 to M1 and deliver AQ4N to tumor microenvironment (TME). Moreover, the repolarized M1 TAMs overexpress inducible nitric oxide synthase, which can convert nontoxic AQ4N to cytotoxic AQ4 under hypoxic TME, enabling immunomodulation-activated chemotherapy. A series of in vitro and in vivo results corroborate that AP FeNSs effectively exert photothermal and photodynamic effects and repolarize M2 TAMs to M1 TAMs, releasing inflammatory factors and activating the chemotherapeutic effect, thereby realizing synergistic tumor therapy.

Abstract
Atomically precise gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) have high specific surface area and abundant unsaturated active sites. Traditionally, Au NCs are employed as thermocatalysts for multielectron transfer redox catalysis. Meanwhile, Au NCs also exhibit discrete energy levels, tunable photophysical and electrochemical properties, including visible to near infrared absorption, microsecond long-lived excited-state lifetime, and redox chemistry. In recent years, Au NCs are increasingly employed as visible to near infrared photocatalysts for their high photocatalytic activity and unique selectivity. This review focuses on the photophysical properties of a variety of Au NCs and their employment as photocatalysts in photocatalytic reactions and related applications including solar energy conversion and photodynamic therapies.

Abstract
Active species regulation is a key scientific issue that essentially determines the selectivity and activity of a photocatalyst. Herein, CuI -bridged tetrakis(4-ethynylphenyl)ethene aggregates (T4 EPE-Cu) with photo-regulated 1 O2 and O2 .- generation were demonstrated for selective photocatalytic aerobic oxidation. In this system, transient photovoltage combined with the density functional theory calculations confirmed that Cu-alkynyl was the main oxygen activation site. The adsorbed O2 tends to produce O2 .- because of the potential well effect of Cu-alkynyl under high-energy light excitation. But under low-energy light, O2 tends to produce 1 O2 via resonance energy transfer with Cu-alkynyl. For α-terpinene oxidation, the ratios of 1 O2 products to O2 .- products can be controlled from 1.3 (380 nm) to 10.7 (600 nm). Furthermore, T4 EPE-Cu exhibited ultrahigh photocatalytic performance for Glaser coupling and benzylamine oxidation, with a conversion and selectivity of over 99 %.

Induction of Immunogenic Cell Death by Photodynamic Therapy Mediated by Aluminum-Phthalocyanine in Nanoemulsion. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14010196. [PMID: 35057091 PMCID: PMC8778058 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14010196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2021] [Revised: 01/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been clinically employed to treat mainly superficial cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma. This approach can eliminate tumors by direct cytotoxicity, tumor ischemia, or by triggering an immune response against tumor cells. Among the immune-related mechanisms of PDT, the induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) in target cells is to be cited. ICD is an apoptosis modality distinguished by the emission of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMP). Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the immunogenicity of CT26 and 4T1 treated with PDT mediated by aluminum-phthalocyanine in nanoemulsion (PDT-AlPc-NE). Different PDT-AlPc-NE protocols with varying doses of energy and AlPc concentrations were tested. The death mechanism and the emission of DAMPs-CRT, HSP70, HSP90, HMGB1, and IL-1β-were analyzed in cells treated in vitro with PDT. Then, the immunogenicity of these cells was assessed in an in vivo vaccination-challenge model with BALB/c mice. CT26 and 4T1 cells treated in vitro with PDT mediated by AlPc IC50 and a light dose of 25 J/cm2 exhibited the hallmarks of ICD, i.e., these cells died by apoptosis and exposed DAMPs. Mice injected with these IC50 PDT-treated cells showed, in comparison to the control, increased resistance to the development of tumors in a subsequent challenge with viable cells. Mice injected with 4T1 and CT26 cells treated with higher or lower concentrations of photosensitizer and light doses exhibited a significantly lower resistance to tumor development than those injected with IC50 PDT-treated cells. The results presented in this study suggest that both the photosensitizer concentration and light dose affect the immunogenicity of the PDT-treated cells. This event can affect the therapy outcomes in vivo.

Abstract
Inorganic nanomaterials with intrinsic singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) generation capacity, are emerged yet dynamically developing materials as nano-photosensitizers (NPSs) for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Compared to previously reported nanomaterials that have been used as either carriers to load organic PSs or energy donors to excite the attached organic PSs through a Foster resonance energy transfer process, these NPSs possess intrinsic 1 O2 generation capacity with extremely high 1 O2 quantum yield (e.g., 1.56, 1.3, 1.26, and 1.09) than any classical organic PS reported to date, and thus are facilitating to make a revolution in PDT. In this review, the recent advances in the development of various inorganic nanomaterials as NPSs, including metal-based (gold, silver, and tungsten), metal oxide-based (titanium dioxide, tungsten oxide, and bismuth oxyhalide), metal sulfide-based (copper and molybdenum sulfide), carbon-based (graphene, fullerene, and graphitic carbon nitride), phosphorus-based, and others (hybrids and MXenes-based NPSs) are summarized, with an emphasis on the design principle and 1 O2 generation mechanism, and the photodynamic therapeutic performance against different types of cancers. Finally, the current challenges and an outlook of future research are also discussed. This review may provide a comprehensive account capable of explaining recent progress as well as future research of this emerging paradigm.

Abstract
Metal-based nanoparticles are widely used to deliver bioactive molecules and drugs to improve cancer therapy. Several research works have highlighted the synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles by green chemistry, using biological entities to minimize the use of solvents and control their physicochemical and biological properties. Recent advances in evaluating the anticancer effect of green biogenic Au and Ag nanoparticles are mainly focused on the use of conventional 2D cell culture and in vivo murine models that allow determination of the half-maximal inhibitory concentration, a critical parameter to move forward clinical trials. However, the interaction between nanoparticles and the tumor microenvironment is not yet fully understood. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more human-like evaluation models or to improve the existing ones for a better understanding of the molecular bases of cancer. This review provides recent advances in biosynthesized Au and Ag nanoparticles for seven of the most common and relevant cancers and their biological assessment. In addition, it provides a general idea of the in silico, in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models used for the anticancer evaluation of green biogenic metal-based nanoparticles.

Abstract
Two-dimensional nanomaterials are emerging as promising candidates for a wide range of biomedical applications including tissue engineering, biosensing, pathogen incapacitation, wound healing, and gene and drug delivery. Graphene, due to its high surface area, photothermal property, high loading capacity, and efficient cellular uptake, is at the forefront of these materials and plays a key role in this multidisciplinary research field. Poor water dispersibility and low functionality of graphene, however, hamper its hybridization into new nanostructures for future nanomedicine. Functionalization of graphene, either by covalent or non-covalent methods, is the most useful strategy to improve its dispersion in water and functionality as well as processability into new materials and devices. In this review, recent advances in functionalization of graphene derivatives by different (macro)molecules for future biomedical applications are reported and explained. In particular, hydrophilic functionalization of graphene and graphene oxide (GO) to improve their water dispersibility and physicochemical properties is discussed. We have focused on the anticancer drug delivery of polyfunctional graphene sheets.

Abstract
Exploring and developing a new type of nanoplatform with diagnosis and treatment to effectively cure tumors and reduce side effects has become a hot spot for researchers and is of great significance. Herein, a cancer theranostic nanoplatform with dual-imaging, dual-phototherapy and laser-responsiveness to tumor microenvironment was successfully assembled by liposome (Lip) co-loaded with oil-soluble Au4Cu4 nanoclusters (NCs) and water-soluble Au25 NCs via a simple film hydration method and subsequent extraction process. The prepared Au4Cu4/Au25@Lip nanoplatform with core-shell structure and about 50 nm of uniform sphere shape presented highly biocompatible, stability and passive targeting due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Furthermore, the Lip composed of lecithin and cholesterol has good affinity with the cell membrane, which can realize the effective accumulation of photosensitizers at the tumor site, so that improving phototherapy effect and reducing the damage to normal tissue. The loaded oil-soluble Au4Cu4 NCs were firstly and pleasantly surprised to find possessed not only ideal photodynamic effect, but also preferable catalysis towards endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposition to produce oxygen (O2) for improving the tumor hypoxic environment besides the excellent photoluminescence ability while the water-soluble Au25 NCs own outstanding photothermogenesis effect and also photoluminescence performance. The in vitro and in vivo experiment results proved that in the Au4Cu4/Au25@Lip nanoplatform, the performances of both NCs were complementary, which presenting considerable photothermal/fluorescence imaging (PTI/FI)-guided synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT)/O2-enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect for the tumor under the irradiation of near infrared (NIR) laser. This work provides a useful inspiration and paves a new way for the assembly of NCs or namomaterials with different properties into an integrated anti-tumor theranostic nanoplatform.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been extensively investigated for decades for tumor treatment because of its non-invasiveness, spatiotemporal selectivity, lower side-effects, and immune activation ability. It can be a promising treatment modality in several medical fields, including oncology, immunology, urology, dermatology, ophthalmology, cardiology, pneumology, and dentistry. Nevertheless, the clinical application of PDT is largely restricted by the drawbacks of traditional photosensitizers, limited tissue penetrability of light, inefficient induction of tumor cell death, tumor resistance to the therapy, and the severe pain induced by the therapy. Recently, various photosensitizer formulations and therapy strategies have been developed to overcome these barriers. Significantly, the introduction of nanomaterials in PDT, as carriers or photosensitizers, may overcome the drawbacks of traditional photosensitizers. Based on this, nanocomposites excited by various light sources are applied in the PDT of deep-seated tumors. Modulation of cell death pathways with co-delivered reagents promotes PDT induced tumor cell death. Relief of tumor resistance to PDT with combined therapy strategies further promotes tumor inhibition. Also, the optimization of photosensitizer formulations and therapy procedures reduces pain in PDT. Here, a systematic summary of recent advances in the fabrication of photosensitizers and the design of therapy strategies to overcome barriers in PDT is presented. Several aspects important for the clinical application of PDT in cancer treatment are also discussed.

Abstract
Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLDH) is a homodimeric flavin-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the NAD+ -dependent oxidation of dihydrolipoamide. The enzyme is part of several multi-enzyme complexes such as the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase system that transforms pyruvate into acetyl-co-A. Concomitantly with its redox activity, DLDH produces Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which are involved in cellular apoptotic processes. DLDH possesses several moonlighting functions. One of these is the capacity to adhere to metal-oxides surfaces. This was first exemplified by the presence of an exocellular form of the enzyme on the cell-wall surface of Rhodococcus ruber. This capability was evolutionarily conserved and identified in the human, mitochondrial, DLDH. The enzyme was modified with Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) groups, which enabled its interaction with integrin-rich cancer cells followed by "integrin-assisted-endocytosis." This allowed harnessing the enzyme for cancer therapy. Combining the TiO2 -binding property with DLDH's ROS-production, enabled us to develop several medical applications including improving oesseointegration of TiO2 -based implants and photodynamic treatment for melanoma. The TiO2 -binding sites of both the bacterial and human DLDH's were identified on the proteins' molecules at regions that overlap with the binding site of E3-binding protein (E3BP). This protein is essential in forming the multiunit structure of PDC. Another moonlighting activity of DLDH, which is described in this Review, is its DNA-binding capacity that may affect DNA chelation and shredding leading to apoptotic processes in living cells. The typical ROS-generation by DLDH, which occurs in association with its enzymatic activity and its implications in cancer and apoptotic cell death are also discussed.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medicinal tool that uses a photosensitizer and a light source to treat several conditions, including cancer. PDT uses reactive oxygen species such as cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) to induce cell death in cancer cells. Chemotherapy has historically utilized the cytotoxic effects of many metals, especially transition metal complexes. However, chemotherapy is a systemic treatment so all cells in a patient's body are exposed to the same cytotoxic effects. Transition metal complexes have also shown high cytotoxicity as PDT agents. PDT is a potential localized method for treating several cancer types by using inorganic complexes as photosensitizing agents. This review covers several in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as clinical trials that reported on the anticancer properties of inorganic pharmaceuticals used in PDT against different types of cancer.

Abstract
Melanoma, as the most aggressive and treatment-resistant skin malignancy, is responsible for about 80% of all skin cancer mortalities. Prone to invade into the dermis and form distant metastases significantly reduce the patient survival rate. Therefore, early treatment of the melanoma in situ or timely blocking the deterioration of metastases is critical. In this study, a sulfur dioxide (SO2) polymer prodrug was designed as both an intracellular glutathione (GSH)-responsive SO2 generator and a carrier of doxorubicin (DOX), and used for the treatment of subcutaneous and metastatic melanoma. Firstly, chemical conjugation of 4-N-(2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl)-imino-1-butyric acid (DIBA) onto the side chains of methoxy poly (ethylene glycol) grafted dextran (mPEG-g-Dex) resulted in the synthesis of the amphiphilic polymer prodrug of SO2, mPEG-g-Dex (DIBA). The obtained mPEG-g-Dex (DIBA) could self-assemble into stable micellar nanoparticles and exhibited a glutathione-responsive SO2 release behavior. Subsequently, DOX was encapsulated into the core of mPEG-g-Dex (DIBA) micelles to form DOX-loaded nanoparticles (PDDN-DOX). The formed PDDN-DOX could be internalized by B16F10 cells and synchronously release DOX and SO2 into the tumor cells. As a result, PDDN-DOX exerted synergistic anti-tumor effects in B16F10 melanoma cells because of the oxidative damage properties of SO2 and toxic effects of DOX. Furthermore, in vivo experiments verified that PDDN-DOX had great potential for the treatment of subcutaneous and metastasis melanoma. Collectively, our present work demonstrates that the combination of SO2-based gas therapy and chemotherapeutics offers a new avenue for inhibiting melanoma progression and metastases.

Abstract
Thiol capped gold nanoparticles with small size, high dispersity, and broad light absorption covering ultraviolet (UV) to near infrared (NIR) region have been developed for catalysis, fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT). The constitution of the metal core in such nanoparticles can strongly influence the luminescence, catalysis, and stability properties. However, to date, a corresponding investigation of the influence of the metallic core on the generation of reaction oxygen species (ROS) and its therapeutic efficiency towards tumor cells remains to be lacking. Herein, we fabricated bimetallic nanoparticles by introducing bismuth into captopril capped gold nanoparticles. Surprisingly, the introduction of the Bi was found enhance the photothermal effect of the nanoparticles to a great extent, and the variation trends for the thermal effect, ROS generation rate, and tumor cell inhibition effect were found to disparate with the changes in the Au and Bi composition. The origin of the photothermal effect was deduced through density functional theory calculations based on microscopic construction. Combined with the intrinsic photodynamic effect, the bimetallic nanoparticles showed an outstanding tumor cell inhibition effect. Furthermore, due to the excellent CT imaging property, our designed nanoparticles provide the exciting possibility to realize CT imaging guided and light-mediated tumor therapy.

Abstract
The application of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) is on the increase, and so the number of studies dedicated to describing this material's biological effects. Previous studies have presented results indicating the controversial impact of TiO2NPs on cell fate regarding death and survival. We speculate that this may be due to focusing on each of the subject cells as an isolated individual. In this study, we made a difference by looking at the subject cells as an interrelated population. Specifically, we exposed mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to TiO2NPs and observed cell death and stimulation of proliferation among the cell population. Our data shows that the exposure to TiO2NPs initiated autophagy, which led to an increase in extracellular Wnt protein levels and increased Wnt/GSK3β/β-catenin/cyclin D1 signalling in the cell population. Autophagy inhibitor repressed the effects of TiO2NPs, which indicates that β-catenin regulation was dependent on TiO2NPs-induced autophagy. The inhibition of β-catenin resulted in dysregulation of cyclin D1 protein expression level. In conclusion, following exposure to TiO2NPs, MSCs undergo autophagy, which induces cell proliferation among the cell population by upregulation of cyclin D1 through the Wnt/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging cancer treatment combining light, oxygen, and a photosensitizer (PS) to produce highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species that cause cancer cell death. However, most PSs are hydrophobic molecules that have poor water solubility and cannot target tumor tissues, causing damage to normal tissues and cells during PDT. Thus, there is a substantial demand for the development of nanocarrier systems to achieve targeted delivery of PSs into tumor tissues and cells. This review summarizes the research progress in PS delivery systems for PDT treatment of tumors and focuses on the recent design and development of multifunctional nanoparticles as PS delivery carriers for enhanced PDT. These multifunctional nanoparticles possess unique properties, including tunable particle size, changeable shape, stimuli-responsive PS activation, controlled PS release, and hierarchical targeting capability. These properties can increase tumor accumulation, penetration, and cellular internalization of nanoparticles to achieve PS activation and/or release in cancer cells for enhanced PDT. Finally, recent developments in multifunctional nanoparticles for tumor-targeted PS delivery and their future prospects in PDT are discussed.

Abstract
Melanoma is the most aggressive malignant skin tumor and arises from melanocytes. The resistance of melanoma cells to various treatments results in rapid tumor growth and high mortality. As a local therapeutic modality, photodynamic therapy has been successfully applied for clinical treatment of skin diseases. Photodynamic therapy is a relatively new treatment method for various types of malignant tumors in humans and, compared to conventional treatment methods, has fewer side effects, and is more accurate and non-invasive. Although several in vivo and in vitro studies have shown encouraging results regarding the potential benefits of photodynamic therapy as an adjuvant treatment for melanoma, its clinical application remains limited owing to its relative inefficiency. This review article discusses the use of photodynamic therapy in melanoma treatment as well as the latest progress made in deciphering the mechanism of tolerance. Lastly, potential targets are identified that may improve photodynamic therapy against melanoma cells.

Abstract
Owing to the strong NIR absorbance, indocyanine green (ICG) has attracted new attention in emerging photo-theranostics. However, ICG has a very low ROS production efficiency and mainly works through the type II photoreaction via its monomer. The aggregation tendency of ICG in aqueous milieus further worsens the scenario. Herein, ICG aggregates show an enhanced type I photoreaction pathway and have much better photooxidizing capability than its monomer, which improves the performance of ICG in the photodynamic inactivation of bacteria. This finding provides a feasible way to tackle the contradiction of ROS generation and ICG aggregation. Finally, the photodynamic effect of ICG aggregates was combined with the photothermal effect of gold nanorods to achieve an effective treatment of bacterial infection.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy has been severely limited by oxygen (O2 ) deficiency in tumors and the electron-hole separation inefficiency in photosensitizers, especially the long-range diffusion of O2 toward photosensitizers during the PDT process. Herein, novel bismuth sulfide (Bi2 S3 )@bismuth (Bi) Z-scheme heterostructured nanorods (NRs) are designed to realize the spatiotemporally synchronous O2 self-supply and production of reactive oxygen species for hypoxic tumor therapy. Both narrow-bandgap Bi2 S3 and Bi components can be excited by a near-infrared laser to generate abundant electrons and holes. The Z-scheme heterostructure endows Bi2 S3 @Bi NRs with an efficient electron-hole separation ability and potent redox potentials, where the hole on the valence band of Bi2 S3 can react with water to supply O2 for the electron on the conduction band of Bi to produce reactive oxygen species. The Bi2 S3 @Bi NRs overcome the major obstacles of conventional photosensitizers during the PDT process and exhibit a promising phototherapeutic effect, supplying a new strategy for hypoxic tumor elimination.

Abstract
Compared with graphene quantum dots (GQDs), fluorine-containing GQDs (F-GQDs) present higher 1O2 generation under light irradiation and thus cause obvious toxicity to HepG2 cells. F-GQDs can be used as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-enhanced catalysis has attracted much attention recently. Palladium nanoparticles have been reported to have various nanozyme activities and exhibit promising potentials for biomedical applications. However, as Pd is a poor plasmonic metal, little attention has been paid to its LSPR-regulated nanozyme activity. Herein, by using Au nanorods (AuNRs) as a strong plasmonic core, we coated a thin layer Pd to form a rod-shaped core-shell structure. The obtained Au@PdNRs showed tunable LSPR bands in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral range inheriting from the Au core and yet an exposed Pd surface for catalysis. The oxidase-like activity was investigated in the dark and upon SPR excitation. The plasmon-enhanced activity was observed and was mainly ascribed to the local photothermal effect. Finally, to enhance biocompatibility, mesoporous silica-coated nanorods were used to detect the oxidase-like activity in cells. After being endocytosed by cells, upon plasmon excitation, the oxidase activity of Au@PdNRs could be manifested and lead to higher cytotoxicity and depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential. Our studies highlight the feasibility of regulating the nanozyme activity of plasmonic nanostructures using their unique NIR plasmonic features with spatiotemporal control.

Abstract
Skin cancer, as the most physically accessible malignancy, allows for the greatest variety in treatment innovation. The last 2 decades have seen striking increases in the life expectancies of those diagnosed with malignant melanoma. However, many cases remain in which disease prevails against standard treatment, and those patients rely on continuing ingenuity. Drugs that can be injected directly into patients' tumors have become increasingly promising, not least for the reduction in side effects observed. Intratumoral therapy encompasses a wide array of agents, from chemotherapeutic drugs to cancer vaccines. While each show some efficacy, those agents which regulate the immune system likely have the greatest potential for preventing disease progression or recurrence. Recent research has highlighted the importance of the presence of cytotoxic T cells and of keeping regulatory T cells in check. Thus, manipulating the tumor microenvironment is a need in skin cancer therapy, which intratumoral delivery can potentially address. In order to find the best approach to each person's disease, more studies are needed to test intralesional agents in combination with currently approved therapies and with each other.

Abstract
Wound healing is a dynamic, interactive, and complex process, including multiple stages. Although various nanomaterials are applied to accelerate the wound healing process through exhibiting antibacterial activity or promoting cell proliferation, only a single stage is promoted during the process, lowering healing efficacy. It is necessary to develop programmable nanosystems for promoting multiple wound healing stages in sequence. Herein, arginine-loaded and detachable ceria-graphene nanocomposites (ACG NCs) were designed to achieve this purpose. Ceria NPs and graphene were linked by base-cleavable N-hydroxysuccinimide ester. At inflammation stage, ACG NCs could effectively generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and kill bacteria under white light irradiation due to their efficient electron-hole separation between ceria NPs and graphene. At proliferation stage, ceria NPs could be detached from ACG NCs and taken up by cells to scarify intracellular ROS and promote cell proliferation, while the separated graphene could act as a scaffold to promote fibroblast migration to wound site. A series of in vitro and in vivo assessments demonstrated that ACG NCs could effectively accelerate wound healing process.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex and sequential biological process that involves multiple stages. Although various nanomaterials are applied to accelerate the wound healing process, only a single stage is promoted during the process, lacking hierarchical stimulation. Herein, hollow CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with rough surface and l-arginine inside (Ah CeO2 NPs) are developed as a compact and programmable nanosystem for sequentially promoting the hemostasis, inflammation, and proliferation stages. The rough surface of Ah CeO2 NPs works as a nanobridge to rapidly closure the wounds, promoting the hemostasis stage. The hollow structure of Ah CeO2 NPs enables the multireflection of light inside particles, significantly enhancing the light harvest efficiency and electron-hole pair abundance. Simultaneously, the porous shell of Ah CeO2 NPs facilitates the electron-hole separation and reactive oxygen species production, preventing wound infection and promotion wound healing during the inflammation stage. The enzyme mimicking property of Ah CeO2 NPs can alleviate the oxidative injury in the wound, and the released l-arginine can be converted into nitric oxide (NO) under the catalysis of inducible NO synthase, both of which promote the proliferation stage. A series of in vitro and in vitro biological assessments corroborate the effectiveness of Ah CeO2 NPs in the wound healing process.

Abstract
Hypoxic tumor microenvironment is the bottleneck of the conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) and significantly weakens the overall therapeutic efficiency. Herein, versatile metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets (DBBC-UiO) comprised of bacteriochlorin ligand and Hf6(µ3-O)4(µ3-OH)4 clusters to address this tricky issue are designed. The resulting DBBC-UiO enables numerous superoxide anion radical (O2 -•) generation via a type I mechanism with a 750 nm NIR-laser irradiation, part of which transforms to high toxic hydroxyl radical (OH•) and oxygen (O2) through superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mediated catalytic reactions under severe hypoxic microenvironment (2% O2), and the partial recycled O2 enhances O2 -• generation. Owing to the synergistic radicals, it realizes advanced antitumor performance with 91% cell mortality against cancer cells in vitro, and highly efficient hypoxic solid tumor ablation in vivo. It also accomplishes photoacoustic imaging (PAI) for cancer diagnosis. This DBBC-UiO, taking advantage of superb penetration depth of the 750 nm laser and distinct antihypoxia activities, offers new opportunities for PDT against clinically hypoxic cancer.

Abstract
Bismuth (Bi)-based nanomaterials (NMs) are widely used for computed tomography (CT) imaging guided photothermal therapy, however, the photodynamic property is hardly exhibited by these NMs due to the fast electron-hole recombination within their narrow bandgap. Herein, a sophisticated nanosystem is designed to endow bismuth sulfide (Bi2 S3 ) nanorods (NRs) with potent photodynamic property. Zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZP) is linked to Bi2 S3 NRs through a thermoresponsive polymer to form BPZP nanosystems. The stretching ZP could prebind to the active site of heme oxygenase-1 overexpressed in cancer cells, suppressing the cellular antioxidant defense capability. Upon NIR laser irradiation, the heat released from Bi2 S3 NRs could retract the polymer and drive ZP to the proximity of Bi2 S3 NRs, facilitating an efficient electron-hole separation in ZP and Bi2 S3 NRs, and leading to reactive oxygen species generation. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate the promising photodynamic property of BPZP, together with their photothermal and CT imaging performance.

Abstract
Titania semiconductors can be activated by external physical triggers to produce electrons (e-) and holes (h+) pairs from the energy-band structure and subsequently induce the generation of reactive oxygen species for killing cancer cells, but the traditional ultraviolet light with potential phototoxicity and low-tissue-penetrating depth as the irradiation source significantly hinders the further in vivo broad biomedical applications. Here, the very-recent development of novel exogenous physical irradiation of titania semiconductors for tumor-specific therapies based on their unique physiochemical properties, including near infrared (NIR)-triggered photothermal hyperthermia and photodynamic therapy, X-ray/Cerenkov radiation-activated deep-seated photodynamic therapy, ultrasound-triggered sonodynamic therapy, and the intriguing synergistic therapeutic paradigms by combined exogenous physical irradiations are in focus. Most of these promising therapeutic modalities are based on the semiconductor nature of titania nanoplatforms, together with their defect modulation for photothermal hyperthermia. The biocompatibility and biosafety of these titania semiconductors are also highlighted for guaranteeing their further clinical translation. Challenges and future developments of titania-based therapeutic nanoplatforms and the corresponding developed therapeutic modalities for potential clinical translation of tumor-specific therapy are also discussed and outlooked.

Abstract
Gold (Au) core@void@copper sulfide (CuS) shell (Au-CuS) yolk-shell nanoparticles (YSNPs) were prepared in the present study for potential chemo-, photothermal, and photodynamic combination therapy, so-called "chemophototherapy". The resonance energy transfer (RET) process was utilized in Au-CuS YSNPs to achieve both enhanced photothermal and photodynamic performance compared with those of CuS hollow nanoparticles (HNPs). A series of Au nanomaterials as cores that had different localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption peaks at 520, 700, 808, 860, and 980 nm were embedded in CuS HNPs to screen the most effective Au-CuS YSNPs according to the RET process. Thermoresponsive polymer was fabricated on these YSNPs' surface to allow for controlled drug release. Au808-CuS and Au980-CuS YSNPs were found capable of inducing the largest temperature elevation and producing the most significant hydroxyl radicals under 808 and 980 nm laser irradiation, respectively, which could accordingly cause the most severe 4T1 cell injury through oxidative stress mechanism. Moreover, doxorubicin-loaded (Dox-loaded) P(NIPAM-co-AM)-coated Au980-CuS (p-Au980-CuS@Dox) YSNPs could more efficiently kill cells than unloaded particles upon 980 nm laser irradiation. After intravenous administration to 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, p-Au980-CuS YSNPs could significantly accumulate in the tumor and effectively inhibit the tumor growth after 980 nm laser irradiation, and p-Au980-CuS@Dox YSNPs could further potentiate the inhibition efficiency and exhibit excellent in vivo biocompatibility. Taken together, this study sheds light on the rational design of Au-CuS YSNPs to offer a promising candidate for chemophototherapy.
