Abstract
Chemotherapy, as a conventional strategy for tumor therapy, often leads to unsatisfied therapeutic effect due to the multi-drug resistance and the serious side effects. Herein, we genetically engineered a thermal-responsive murine Ferritin (mHFn) to specifically deliver mitoxantrone (MTO, a chemotherapeutic and photothermal agent) to tumor tissue for the chemotherapy and photothermal combined therapy of colorectal cancer, thanks to the high affinity of mHFn to transferrin receptor that highly expressed on tumor cells. The thermal-sensitive channels on mHFn allowed the effective encapsulation of MTO in vitro and the laser-controlled release of MTO in vivo. Upon irradiation with a 660 nm laser, the raised temperature triggered the opening of the thermal-sensitive channel in mHFn nanocage, resulting in the controlled and rapid release of MTO. Consequently, a significant amount of reactive oxygen species was generated, causing mitochondrial collapse and tumor cell death. The photothermal-sensitive controlled release, low systemic cytotoxicity, and excellent synergistic tumor eradication ability in vivo made mHFn@MTO a promising candidate for chemo-photothermal combination therapy against colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Tissue damage and cell death occurring during photothermal therapy (PTT) for tumors can induce an inflammatory response that is detrimental to tumor therapy. Herein, ultrathin Mo metallene nanosheets with a thickness of <5 nm prepared by liquid phase exfoliation were explored as functional hyperthermia agents for non-inflammatory ablation of tumors. The obtained Mo metallene nanosheets exhibited good photothermal conversion properties and significant reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability, thus achieving superior cancer cell ablation and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro. For in vivo experiments, 4T1 tumors were ablated while the inflammation-related cytokine levels did not obviously increase, demonstrating that the inflammatory response induced by PTT was inhibited by the anti-inflammatory properties of Mo metallene nanosheets. Moreover, Mo metallene nanosheets depicted good dispersibility and biocompatibility, beneficial for biomedical applications. This work introduces Mo metallenes as promising hyperthermia agents for non-inflammatory PTT of tumors.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy has emerged as a promising approach for cancer treatment, which can cause ferroptosis to enhance immunotherapeutic efficacy. However, excessively generated immunogenicity will induce serious inflammatory response syndrome, resulting in a discounted therapeutic effect. Herein, a kind of NIR absorption small organic chromophore nanoparticles (TTHM NPs) with high photothermal conversion efficiency (68.33%) is developed, which can induce mitochondria dysfunction, generate mitochondrial superoxide, and following ferroptosis. TTHM NPs-based photothermal therapy is combined with Sulfasalazine (SUZ), a kind of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, to weaken inflammation and promote ferroptosis through suppressing glutamate/cystine (Glu/Cys) antiporter system Xc- (xCT). Additionally, the combination of SUZ with PTT can induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), followed by promoting the maturation of DCs and the attraction of CD8+ T cell, which will secrete IFN-γ and trigger self-amplified ferroptosis via inhibiting xCT and simulating Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4). Moreover, the in vivo results demonstrate that this combination therapy can suppress the expression of inflammatory factors, enhance dendritic cell activation, facilitate T-cell infiltration, and realize effective thermal elimination of primary tumors and distant tumors. In general, this work provides an excellent example of combined medication and stimulates new thinking about onco-therapy and inflammatory response.

Abstract
Phototherapy promotes anti-tumor immunity by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), However, the accompanying inflammatory responses also trigger immunosuppression, attenuating the efficacy of photo-immunotherapy. Herein, they co-assembled a cell-membrane targeting chimeric peptide C16-Cypate-RRKK-PEG8-COOH (CCP) and anti-inflammatory diclofenac (DA) to develop a nanodrug (CCP@DA) that both enhances the immune effect of phototherapy and weakens the inflammation-mediated immunosuppression. CCP@DA achieves cell membrane-targeting photodynamic and photothermal synergistic therapies to damage programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and induce a strong ICD to activate anti-tumor response. Simultaneously, the released DA inhibits the cycoperoxidase-2 (COX-2)/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) pathway in tumor cells to inhibit pro-tumor inflammation and further down-regulate PD-L1 expression to relieve the immunosuppressive microenvironment. CCP@DA significantly inhibited tumor growth and inflammation both in vitro and in vivo, while maintaining a potent anti-tumor immune response. Additionally, it exhibits excellent anti-metastatic capabilities and prolongs mouse survival time with a single dose and low levels of near-infrared (NIR) light exposure. This work provides a valuable strategy to control the therapy-induced inflammation for high-efficiency photoimmunotherapy.

Abstract
Analogous to thermal ablation techniques in clinical settings, cell necrosis induced during tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) can provoke an inflammatory response that is detrimental to the treatment of tumors. In this study, we employed a straightforward one-step liquid-phase reduction process to synthesize uniform RhRe nanozymes with an average hydrodynamic size of 41.7 nm for non-inflammatory photothermal therapy. The obtained RhRe nanozymes showed efficient near-infrared (NIR) light absorption for effective PTT, coupled with a remarkable capability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) for anti-inflammatory treatment. After laser irradiation, the 4T1 tumors were effectively ablated without obvious tumor recurrence within 14 days, along with no obvious increase in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Notably, these RhRe nanozymes demonstrated high biocompatibility with normal cells and tissues, both in vitro and in vivo, as evidenced by the lack of significant toxicity in female BALB/c mice treated with 10 mg/kg of RhRe nanozymes over a 14 day period. This research highlights RhRe alloy nanoparticles as bioactive nanozymes for non-inflammatory PTT in tumor therapy.

Abstract
The rapid multiplication of residual tumor cells and poor reconstruction quality of new bone are considered the major challenges in the postoperative treatment of osteosarcoma. It is a promising candidate for composite bone scaffold which combines photothermal therapy (PTT) and bone regeneration induction for the local treatment of osteosarcoma. However, it is inevitable to damage the normal tissues around the tumor due to the hyperthermia of PTT, while mild heat therapy shows a limited effect on antitumor treatment as the damage can be easily repaired by stress-induced heat shock proteins (HSP). This study reports a new type of single-atom Cu nanozyme-loaded bone scaffolds, which exhibit exceptional photothermal conversion properties as well as peroxidase and glutathione oxidase mimicking activities in vitro experiments. This leads to lipid peroxidation (LPO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) upregulation, ultimately causing ferroptosis. The accumulation of LPO and ROS also contributes to HSP70 inactivation, maximizing PTT efficiency against tumors at an appropriate therapeutic temperature and minimizing the damage to surrounding normal tissues. Further, the bone scaffold promotes bone regeneration via a continuous release of bioactive ions (Ca2+ , P5+ , Si4+ , and Cu2+ ). The results of in vivo experiments reveal that scaffolds inhibit tumor growth and promote bone repair.

Abstract
Highly immunogenic programmed death of tumor cells, such as immunogenic cell death (ICD) and pyroptosis, strengthens antitumor responses and thus represents a promising target for cancer immunotherapy. However, the development of ICD and pyroptosis inducers remains challenging, and their efficiency is typically compromised by self-protective autophagy. Here, we report a potent ICD and pyroptosis-inducing strategy by coupling combined photodynamic/photothermal therapy (PTT/PDT) to biological processes in cancer cells. For this purpose, we rationally synthesize a lysosomal-targeting boron-dipyrromethene dimer (BDPd) with intense NIR absorption/emission, high reactive oxygen species (ROS) yield, and photothermal abilities, which can be self-assembled with Pluronic F127, producing lysosomal-acting nanomicelles (BDPd NPs) to facilitate cancer cell internalization of BDPd and generation of intracellular ROS. Owing to the favorable lysosomal-targeting ability of the morpholine group on BDPd, the intracellular BDPd NPs can accumulate in the lysosome and induce robust lysosomal damage in cancer cells upon 660 nm laser irradiation, which results in the synergetic induction of pyroptosis and ICD via activating NLRP3/GSDMD and caspase-3/GSDME pathways simultaneously. More importantly, PTT/PDT-induced self-protective autophagic degradation was blocked due to the dysfunction of lysosomes. Either intratumorally or intravenously, the injected BDPd NPs could markedly inhibit the growth of established tumor tissues upon laser activation, provoke local and systemic antitumor immune responses, and prolong the survival time in the mouse triple-negative breast cancer model. Collectively, this work represents a promising strategy to boost the therapeutic potential of PTT/PDT by coupling phototherapeutic reagents with the subcellular organelles, creating a "one stone two birds" pattern.

Abstract
Nanotechnology-based strategy has recently drawn extensive attention for the therapy of malignant tumors due to its distinct strengths in cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, the limited intratumoral permeability of nanoparticles is a major hurdle to achieving the desired effect of cancer treatment. Due to their superior cargo towing and reliable penetrating property, micro-/nanomotors (MNMs) are considered as one of the most potential candidates for the coming generation of drug delivery platforms. Here, near-infrared (NIR)-actuated biomimetic nanomotors (4T1-JPGSs-IND) are fabricated successfully and we demonstrate that 4T1-JPGSs-IND selectively accumulate in homologous tumor regions due to the effective homing ability. Upon laser irradiation, hyperthermia generated by 4T1-JPGSs-IND leads to self-thermophoretic motion and photothermal therapy (PTT) to ablate tumors with a deep depth, thereby improving the photothermal therapeutic effect for cancer management. The developed nanomotor system with multifunctionalities exhibits promising potential in biomedical applications to fight against various diseases.

Abstract
Due to the "Achilles' heels" of hypoxia, complicated location in solid tumor, small molecular photosensitizers with second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescence, type-I photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT) have attracted great attention. However, these photosensitizers are still few but yet challenging. Herein, an "all in one" NIR-II acceptor-donor-acceptor fused-ring photosensitizer, Y6-Th, is presented for the in-depth diagnosis and efficient treatment of cancer. Benefiting from the strong intramolecular charge transfer, promoted highly efficient intersystem crossing, largely p-conjugated fused-ring structure, and reduced planarity, the fabricated nanoparticles (Y6-Th nanoparticles) can emit NIR-II fluorescence with the peak located at 1020 nm, exclusively generate O2•- for type-I PDT, and display excellent PTT performance under an 808 nm laser stimulation. These characteristics make Y6-Th a distinguished NIR-wavelength-triggered phototheranostic agent, which can effectively therapy the hypoxic tumor using NIR-II-fluorescence-guided type-I PDT/PTT. This work provides a valuable guideline for fabricating high-performing NIR-II emissive superoxide radical photogenerators.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The impact of inflammatory response on tumor development and therapeutic response is of significant importance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The customization of specialized prognostication approaches and the exploration of supplementary treatment options hold critical clinical implications in relation to the inflammatory response. METHODS In the present study, unsupervised clustering was implemented on TCGA-KIRC tumors using transcriptome profiles of inflammatory response genes, which was then validated in two ccRCC datasets (E-MATB-1980 and ICGC) and two immunotherapy datasets (IMvigor210 and Liu et al.) via SubMap and NTP algorithms. Combining co-expression and LASSO analyses, inflammatory response-based scoring system was defined, which was evaluated in pan-cancer. RESULTS Three reproducible inflammatory response subtypes (named IR1, IR2 and IR3) were determined and independently verified, each exhibiting distinct molecular, clinical, and immunological characteristics. Among these subtypes, IR2 had the best OS outcomes, followed by IR3 and IR1. In terms of anti-angiogenic agents, sunitinib may be appropriate for IR1 patients, while axitinib and pazopanib may be suitable for IR2 patients, and sorafenib for IR3 patients. Additionally, IR1 patients might benefit from anti-CTLA4 therapy. A scoring system called IRscore was defined for individual ccRCC patients. Patients with high IRscore presented a lower response rate to anti-PD-L1 therapy and worse prognostic outcomes. Pan-cancer analysis demonstrated the immunological features and prognostic relevance of the IRscore. CONCLUSION Altogether, characterization of inflammatory response subtypes and IRscore provides a roadmap for patient risk stratification and personalized treatment decisions, not only in ccRCC, but also in pan-cancer.

Abstract
High temperature generated by photothermal therapy (PTT) can trigger an inflammatory response at the tumor site, which not only limits the efficacy of PTT but also increases the risk of tumor metastasis and recurrence. In light of the current limitations posed by inflammation in PTT, several studies have revealed that inhibiting PTT-induced inflammation can significantly improve the efficacy of cancer treatment. In this review, we summarize the research progress made in combining anti-inflammatory strategies to enhance the effectiveness of PTT. The goal is to offer valuable insights for developing better-designed photothermal agents in clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Phototherapy can trigger immunogenic cell death of tumors in situ, whereas it is virtually impossible to eradicate the tumor due to the intrinsic resistance and inefficient anti-tumor immunity. To overcome these limitations, novel bimetallic infinite coordination nanopolymers (TA-Fe/Mn-OVA@MB NPs) were synthesized using model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) as a template to assemble tannic acid (TA) and bi-metal, supplemented with methylene blue (MB) surface absorption. The formulated TA-Fe/Mn-OVA@MB NPs possess excellent photothermal and photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) performance, which is adequate to destroy tumor cells by physical and chemical attack. Especially, these TA-Fe/Mn-OVA@MB NPs are capability of promoting the dendritic cells (DCs) maturation and antigen presentation via manganese-mediated cGAS-STING pathway activation, finally activating cytotoxicity T lymphocyte and promoting memory T lymphocyte differentiation in the peripheral lymphoid organs. In conclusion, this research offers a versatile metal-polyphenol nanoplatform to integrate functional metals and therapeutic molecule for topical phototherapy and robust anti-tumor immune activation.

Abstract
Ferroptosis-based treatment strategies display the potential to suppress some malignant tumors with intrinsic apoptosis resistance. However, current related cancer treatments are still hampered by insufficient intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and Fe2+ contents, posing considerable challenges for their clinical translation. Herein, an intracellular acid-biodegradable iridium-coordinated nanosheets (Ir-Hemin) with sonodynamic therapy (SDT) properties to effectively induce ferroptosis in tumor cells through multiple regulatory pathways are proposed. Under ultrasound (US) irradiation, Ir-Hemin nanosheets act as nanosonosensitizers to effectively generate ROS, subsequently causing the accumulation of lipid peroxides (LPO) and inducing ferroptotic cell death. Furthermore, these Ir-Hemin nanosheets decompose quickly to release hemin and Ir(IV), which deplete intracellular glutathione (GSH) to deactivate the enzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and initiate the ferroptosis pathway. Specifically, the released hemin enables heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) upregulation for endogenous ferrous ion supplementation, which compensates for the toxicity concerns brought about by the large uptake of exogenous iron. Surprisingly, Ir-Hemin nanosheets exhibit high tumor accumulation and trigger effective ferroptosis for tumor therapy. These Ir-Hemin nanosheets display pronounced synergistic anticancer efficacy under US stimulation both in vitro and in vivo, providing a strong rationale for the application of ferroptosis in cancer treatment.

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
The pH-responsive theragnostics exhibit great potential for precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Herein, acidity-activatable nanoparticles of GB@P based on glucose oxidase (GO) and polyaniline are developed for treatment of biofilm infection. Catalyzed by GO, GB@P triggers the conversion of glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), enabling an acidic microenvironment-activated simultaneously enhanced photothermal (PT) effect/amplified photoacoustic imaging (PAI). The synergistic effects of the enhanced PT efficacy of GB@P and H2 O2 accelerate biofilm eradication because the penetration of H2 O2 into biofilm improves the bacterial sensitivity to heat, and the enhanced PT effect destroys the expressions of extracellular DNA and genomic DNA, resulting in biofilm destruction and bacterial death. Importantly, GB@P facilitates the polarization of proinflammatory M1 macrophages that initiates macrophage-related immunity, which enhances the phagocytosis of macrophages and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, leading to a sustained bactericidal effect and biofilm eradication by the innate immunomodulatory effect. Accordingly, the nanoplatform of GB@P exhibits the synergistic effects on the biofilm eradication and bacterial residuals clearance through a combination of the enhanced PT effect with immunomodulation. This study provides a promising nanoplatform with enhanced PT efficacy and amplified PAI for diagnosis and treatment of biofilm infection.

Abstract
Most treatments for spinal cancer are accompanied by serious side effects including subsequent tumor recurrence, spinal cord compression, and tissue adhesion, thus a highly effective treatment is crucial for preserving spinal and neurological functionalities. Herein, trilayered electrospun doxorubicin@bovine serum albumin/poly(ε-caprolactone)/manganese dioxide (DOX@BSA/PCL/MnO2) nanofibers with excellent antiadhesion ability, dual glutathione/hydrogen peroxide (GSH/H2O2) responsiveness, and cascade release of Mn2+/DOX was fabricated for realizing an efficient spinal tumor therapy. In detail, Fenton-like reactions between MnO2 in the fibers outermost layer and intra-/extracellular glutathione within tumors promoted the first-order release of Mn2+. Then, sustained release of DOX from the fibers' core layer occurred along with the infiltration of degradation fluid. Such release behavior avoided toxic side effects of drugs, regulated inflammatory tumor microenvironment, amplified tumor elimination efficiency through synergistic chemo-/chemodynamic therapies, and inhibited recurrence of spinal tumors. More interestingly, magnetic resonance and photoacoustic dual-modal imaging enabled visualizations of tumor therapy and material degradation in vivo, achieving rapid pathological analysis and diagnosis. On the whole, such versatile hierarchical-structured nanofibers provided a reference for rapid and potent theranostic of spinal cancer in future clinical translations.
