J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 666:244-258. [PMID: 38598997 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.036] [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: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
Starvation therapy has shown promise as a cancer treatment, but its efficacy is often limited when used alone. In this work, a multifunctional nanoscale cascade enzyme system, named CaCO3@MnO2-NH2@GOx@PVP (CMGP), was fabricated for enhanced starvation/chemodynamic combination cancer therapy. CMGP is composed of CaCO3 nanoparticles wrapped in a MnO2 shell, with glucose oxidase (GOx) adsorbed and modified with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). MnO2 decomposes H2O2 in cancer cells into O2, which enhances the efficiency of GOx-mediated starvation therapy. CaCO3 can be decomposed in the acidic cancer cell environment, causing Ca2+ overload in cancer cells and inhibiting mitochondrial metabolism. This synergizes with GOx to achieve more efficient starvation therapy. Additionally, the H2O2 and gluconic acid produced during glucose consumption by GOx are utilized by MnO2 with catalase-like activity to enhance O2 production and Mn2+ release. This process accelerates glucose consumption, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and CaCO3 decomposition, promoting the Ca2+ release. CMGP can alleviate tumor hypoxia by cycling the enzymatic cascade reaction, which increases enzyme activity and combines with Ca2+ overload to achieve enhanced combined starvation/chemodynamic therapy. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that CMGP has effective anticancer abilities and good biosafety. It represents a new strategy with great potential for combined cancer therapy.

Abstract
Tumor starvation therapy utilizing glucose oxidase (GOx), has gained traction due to its non-invasive and bio-safe attributes. However, its effectiveness is often hampered by severe hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME), limiting GOx's catalytic activity. To address this issue, a multifunctional nanosystem based on mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA NPs) was developled to alleviate TME hypoxia. This nanosystem integrated GOx modification and loading of oxygenated perfluoropentane (PFP) and oxygen (O2) to address hypoxia-related challenges in the TME. Under NIR laser irradiation, the MPDA NPs exhibit significant photothermal conversion efficacy, activating targeted tumor photothermal therapy (PTT), while also serving as proficient photoacoustic (PA) imaging agents. The ensuing temperature rise facilitates O2 release and induces liquid-gas conversion of PFP, generating microbubbles for enhanced ultrasound (US) imaging signals. The supplied oxygen alleviates local hypoxia, thereby enhancing GOx-mediated endogenous glucose consumption for tumor starvation. Overall, the integration of ultrasound/photoacoustic dual imaging-guided PTT and starvation therapy within MPDA-GOx@PFP@O2 nanoparticles (MGPO NPs) presents a promising platform for enhancing the efficacay of tumor treatment by overcoming the complexities of the TME. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A multifunctional MPDA-based theranostic nanoagent was developed for US/PAI imaging-guided PTT and starvation therapy against tumor hypoxia by direct O2 delivery. The incorporation of oxygenated perfluoropentane (PFP) within the mesoporous structure of MGPO not only enables efficient US imaging but also helps in alleviating tumor hypoxia. Moreover, the strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption of MGPO NPs promote the generation of PFP microbubbles and release of oxygen, thereby enhancing US imaging and GOx-mediated starvation therapy. Such a multifunctional nanosystem leverages synergistic effects to enhance therapeutic efficacy while incorporating US/PA imaging for precise visualization of the tumor.

Dual-targeted delivery of temozolomide by multi-responsive nanoplatform via tumor microenvironment modulation for overcoming drug resistance to treat glioblastoma. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:264.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor with low survival rate. Currently, temozolomide (TMZ) is the first-line drug for GBM treatment of which efficacy is unfortunately hindered by short circulation time and drug resistance associated to hypoxia and redox tumor microenvironment. Herein, a dual-targeted and multi-responsive nanoplatform is developed by loading TMZ in hollow manganese dioxide nanoparticles functionalized by polydopamine and targeting ligands RAP12 for photothermal and receptor-mediated dual-targeted delivery, respectively. After accumulated in GBM tumor site, the nanoplatform could respond to tumor microenvironment and simultaneously release manganese ion (Mn2+), oxygen (O2) and TMZ. The hypoxia alleviation via O2 production, the redox balance disruption via glutathione consumption and the reactive oxygen species generation, together would down-regulate the expression of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase under TMZ medication, which is considered as the key to drug resistance. These strategies could synergistically alleviate hypoxia microenvironment and overcome TMZ resistance, further enhancing the anti-tumor effect of chemotherapy/chemodynamic therapy against GBM. Additionally, the released Mn2+ could also be utilized as a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent for monitoring treatment efficiency. Our study demonstrated that this nanoplatform provides an alternative approach to the challenges including low delivery efficiency and drug resistance of chemotherapeutics, which eventually appears to be a potential avenue in GBM treatment.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a global health problem that closely related to various diseases threatening human life. Although antibiotic therapy has been the mainstream treatment method for various bacterial infectious diseases for decades, the increasing emergence of bacterial drug resistance has brought enormous challenges to the application of antibiotics. Therefore, developing novel antibacterial strategies is of great importance. By producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) with photosensitizers (PSs) under light irradiation, antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as a non-invasive and promising approach for treating bacterial infections without causing drug resistance. However, the insufficient therapeutic penetration, poor hydrophilicity, and poor biocompatibility of traditional PSs greatly limit the efficacy of aPDT. Recently, studies have found that nanomaterials with characteristics of favorable photocatalytic activity, surface plasmonic resonance, easy modification, and high drug loading capacity can improve the therapeutic efficacy of aPDT. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of nanomaterials-mediated aPDT and summarize the representative nanomaterials in aPDT, either as PSs or carriers for PSs. In addition, the combination of advanced nanomaterials-mediated aPDT with other therapies, including targeted therapy, gas therapy, and multidrug resistance (MDR) therapy, is reviewed. Also, the concerns and possible solutions of nanomaterials-based aPDT are discussed. Overall, this review may provide theoretical basis and inspiration for the development of nanomaterials-based aPDT.

Abstract
With the widespread use of manganese dioxide nanoparticles (nano MnO2), health hazards have also emerged. The inflammatory damage of brain tissues could result from nano MnO2, in which the underlying mechanism is still unclear. During this study, we aimed to investigate the role of ROS-mediated p38 MAPK pathway in nano MnO2-induced inflammatory response in BV2 microglial cells. The inflammatory injury model was established by treating BV2 cells with 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 μg/mL nano MnO2 suspensions for 12 h. Then, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger (20 nM N-acetylcysteine, NAC) and the p38 MAPK pathway inhibitor (10 μM SB203580) were used to clarify the role of ROS and the p38 MAPK pathway in nano MnO2-induced inflammatory lesions in BV2 cells. The results indicated that nano MnO2 enhanced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α, elevated intracellular ROS levels and activated the p38 MAPK pathway in BV2 cells. Controlling intracellular ROS levels with NAC inhibited p38 MAPK pathway activation and attenuated the inflammatory response induced by nano MnO2. Furthermore, inhibition of the p38 MAPK pathway with SB203580 led to a decrease in the production of inflammatory factors (IL-1β and TNF-α) in BV2 cells. In summary, nano MnO2 can induce inflammatory damage by increasing intracellular ROS levels and further activating the p38 MAPK pathway in BV2 microglial cells.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) as an emerging method for cancer therapy has encountered difficulty in insufficient production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially in tumor microenvironment (TME) with elevated antioxidants and hypoxic conditions. In this work, the authors have fabricated heterostructured manganese dioxide (MnO2)-coated BaTiO3 nanoparticles (BTO@M NPs) as a piezoelectric sonosensitizer, which exhibits the capacity of remodeling TME and multienzyme-like catalysis for boosting SDT. Benefitting from the piezotronic effect, the formation of a p-n junction between MnO2 and piezoelectric BTO with a built-in electric field and band bending efficiently promotes the separation of charge carriers, facilitating the generation of superoxide anion (•O2 -) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) under ultrasound (US) stimulation. Moreover, BTO@M NPs can catalyze the overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in TME to produce oxygen for replenishing the gas source in SDT, and also deplete antioxidant glutathione (GSH), realizing TME remodeling. During this process, the reduced Mn(II) can convert H2O2 into •OH, further amplifying cellular oxidative damage. With these combination effects, the versatile BTO@M NPs exhibit prominent cytotoxicity and tumor growth inhibition against 4T1 breast cancer. This work provides a feasible strategy for constructing high-efficiency sonosensitizers for cancer SDT.

Abstract
Oncolytic bacteria can trigger innate immune activity. However, the antitumour efficacy of inactivated bacteria is poor, and attenuated live bacteria pose substantial safety risks. Here we show that intratumourally injected paraformaldehyde-fixed bacteria coated with manganese dioxide potently activate innate immune activity, modulate the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment and trigger tumour-specific immune responses and abscopal antitumour responses. A single intratumoural administration of mineralized Salmonella typhimurium suppressed the growth of multiple types of subcutaneous and orthotopic tumours in mice, rabbits and tree shrews and protected the cured animals against tumour rechallenge. We also show that mineralized bacteria can be administered via arterial embolization to treat orthotopic liver cancer in rabbits. Our findings support the further translational testing of oncolytic mineralized bacteria as potent and safe antitumour immunotherapeutics.

Abstract
Thermal ablation is a crucial therapeutic modality for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its efficacy is often hindered by the high recurrence rate attributed to insufficient ablation. Furthermore, the residual tumors following insufficient ablation exhibit a more pronounced immunosuppressive state, which accelerates the disease progression and leads to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) resistance. Herein, evidence is presented that heightened intratumoral lactate accumulation, stemming from the augmented glycolytic activity of postablative residual HCC cells, may serve as a crucial driving force in exacerbating the immunosuppressive state of the tumor microenvironment (TME). To address this, an injectable nanoparticles-hydrogel composite system (LOX-MnO2 @Gel) is designed that gradually releases lactate oxidase (LOX)-loaded hollow mesoporous MnO2 nanoparticles at the tumor site to continuously deplete intratumoral lactate via a cascade catalytic reaction. Using subcutaneous and orthotopic HCC tumor-bearing mouse models, it is confirmed that LOX-MnO2 @Gel-mediated local lactate depletion can transform the immunosuppressive postablative TME into an immunocompetent one and synergizes with ICB therapy to significantly inhibit residual HCC growth and lung metastasis, thereby prolonging the survival of mice postablation. The work proposes an appealing strategy for synergistically combining antitumor metabolic therapy with immunotherapy to combat postablative HCC recurrence.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-assisted chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has received considerable attention in recent years. It outperforms other modalities by its distinctive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through a nonexogenous stimulant. However, CDT is limited by the insufficient content of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Herein, a biodegradable MnS@HA-DOX nanocluster (MnS@HA-DOX NC) was constructed by in situ biomineralization from hyaluronic acid, to enlarge the ROS cascade and boost Mn2+-based CDT. The acid-responsive NCs could quickly degrade after internalization into endo/lysosomes, releasing Mn2+, H2S gas, and anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). The Fenton-like reaction catalyzed by Mn2+ was amplified by both H2S and DOX, producing a mass of cytotoxic ·OH radicals. Through the combined action of gas therapy (GT), CDT, and chemotherapy, oxidative stress would be synergistically enhanced, inducing irreversible DNA damage and cell cycle arrest, eventually resulting in cancer cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy is a treatment method that activates or enhances the autoimmune response of the body to fight tumor growth and metastasis, has fewer toxic side effects and a longer-lasting efficacy than radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and has become an important means for the clinical treatment of cancer. However, clinical results from immunotherapy have shown that most patients lack responsiveness to immunotherapy and cannot benefit from this treatment strategy. The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a critical role in the response to immunotherapy. The TME typically prevents effective lymphocyte activation, reducing their infiltration, and inhibiting the infiltration of effector T cells. According to the characteristic differences between the TME and normal tissues, various nanoplatforms with TME targeting and regulation properties have been developed for more precise regulation of the TME and have the ability to codeliver a variety of active pharmaceutical ingredients, thereby reducing systemic toxicity and improving the therapeutic effect of antitumor. In addition, the precise structural design of the nanoplatform can integrate specific functional motifs, such as surface-targeted ligands, degradable backbones, and TME stimulus-responsive components, into nanomedicines, thereby reshaping the tumor microenvironment, improving the body's immunosuppressive state, and enhancing the permeability of drugs in tumor tissues, in order to achieve controlled and stimulus-triggered release of load cargo. In this review, the physiological characteristics of the TME and the latest research regarding the application of TME-regulated nanoplatforms in improving antitumor immunotherapy will be described. Furthermore, the existing problems and further applications perspectives of TME-regulated platforms for cancer immunotherapy will also be discussed.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumor, which seriously jeopardizes human health. The 5-year relative survival rate of HCC is only about 18%. Sorafenib, a small molecule multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (MTKI), has been classified as the first-line treatment scheme for HCC and has significantly extended the median survival time for patients with advanced HCC. Nevertheless, the emergence of sorafenib resistance has substantially hampered its further clinical application. Herein, the nano-platform based on phototherapy and small molecular targeted therapy (SMTT) was devised to overcome the sorafenib resistance and reduce the adverse effects. Hollow mesoporous manganese dioxide (H-MnO2) was prepared by hard template method, and the prepared H-MnO2 was used to load sorafenib and Chlorin e6 (Ce6). Subsequently, the nanoparticle (NPs) were modified with dopamine to optimize biocompatibility. The final prepared NPs (MCS NPs) exhibit regular spherical shape with a hydrated particle size of approximately 97.02 nm. MCS NPs can not only possess tumor microenvironment (TME) stimuli-responsive drug release performance but also can enhance the efficacy of photodynamic therapy and reverse sorafenib resistance by alleviating tumor hypoxia. Under the action of phototherapy (Ce6) combined with molecular targeted therapy (sorafenib), MCS NPs manifest a satisfactory antitumor effect for sorafenib-sensitive or sorafenib-resistant HCC cells, and retain the antiangiogenic properties of sorafenib. In the nude mouse subcutaneous tumor model constructed with sorafenib-resistant cells, MCS NPs demonstrated superior tumor imaging ability and excellent biocompatibility. The tumor inhibition rate of the MCS NPs group without laser irradiation was 53.4 %, while the MCS NPs group with laser irradiation was as high as 100 %. The novel smart TME-responsive nano-platform shows great potential for overcoming sorafenib resistance and realizes multimodality imaging and therapy of HCC.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) as a promising non-invasive anti-tumor means features the preferable penetration depth, which nevertheless, usually can't work without sonosensitizers. Sonosensitizers produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of ultrasound to directly kill tumor cells, and concurrently activate anti-tumor immunity especially after integration with tumor microenvironment (TME)-engineered nanobiotechnologies and combined therapy. Current sonosensitizers are classified into organic and inorganic ones, and current most reviews only cover organic sonosensitizers and highlighted their anti-tumor applications. However, there have few specific reviews that focus on inorganic sonosensitizers including their design principles, microenvironment regulation, etc. In this review, inorganic sonosensitizers are first classified according to their design rationales rather than composition, and the action rationales and underlying chemistry features are highlighted. Afterward, what and how TME is regulated based on the inorganic sonosensitizers-based SDT nanoplatform with an emphasis on the TME targets-engineered nanobiotechnologies are elucidated. Additionally, the combined therapy and their applications in non-cancer diseases are also outlined. Finally, the setbacks and challenges, and proposed the potential solutions and future directions is pointed out. This review provides a comprehensive and detailed horizon on inorganic sonosensitizers, and will arouse more attentions on SDT.

Abstract
As natural adjuvants, the bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMV) hold great potential in cancer vaccines. However, the inherent immunotoxicity of OMV and the rarity of tumor-specific antigens seriously hamper the clinical translation of OMV-based cancer vaccines. Herein, metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) are used to attenuate the toxicity of OMV, meanwhile, provide tumor antigens via the chemodynamic effect induced immunogenic cell death (ICD). Specifically, MPNs are assembled on the OMV surface through the coordination reaction between ferric ions and tannic acid. The iron-based "prison" is locally collapsed in the tumor microenvironment (TME) with both low pH and high ATP features, and thus the systemic toxicity of OMV is significantly attenuated. The released ferric ions in TME promote the ICD of cancer cells through Fenton reaction and then the generation of abundant tumor antigens, which can be used to fabricate in-situ vaccines by converging with OMV. Together with the immunomodulatory effect of OMV, potent tumor repression on a bilateral tumor model is achieved with good biosafety.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), has great promise in the treatment of cancer. However, there are many obstacles that can restrict the therapeutic efficacy of phototherapy. The hypoxic tumor microenvironment can restrict the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in PDT. As for PTT, the thermotolerance of cancer cells may lead to ineffective PTT. In this study, IR780 and glycolysis inhibitor lonidamine (LND)-encapsulated liposomes are prepared for photodynamic and photothermal therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma. IR780 can be used as a photosensitizer and photothermal agent for simultaneous PDT and PTT after being irradiated with 808 nm laser. LND can reduce the oxygen consumption of cancer cells by inhibiting glycolysis, which will relieve tumor hypoxia and produce more ROS for PDT. On the other hand, energy supply can be blocked by LND-induced glycolysis inhibition, which will inhibit the production of heat shock proteins (HSPs), reduce the thermotolerance of tumor cells, and finally enhance the therapeutic efficacy of PTT. The enhanced PTT is studied by measuring intracellular HSPs, ATP level, and mitochondrial membrane potential. The antitumor effect of IR780 and LND co-loaded liposomes is extensively investigated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. This research provides an innovative strategy to simultaneously enhance the therapeutic efficacy of PDT and PTT by inhibiting glycolysis, which is promising for future creative approaches to cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
Background Radiotherapy is one of the main clinical methods for the treatment of malignant tumors at present. However, its application is limited by the radiation resistance of some tumor cells and the irradiation damage to the surrounding normal tissues, and the limitation of radiotherapy dose also affects the therapeutic effect. Therefore, developing diagnostic and therapeutic agents with imaging and radiosensitizing functions is urgently needed to improve the accuracy and efficacy of radiotherapy. Materials and Strategy Herein, we synthesized multifunctional nanotheranostic FRNPs nanoparticles based on gold nanocages (GNCs) and MnO2 for magnetic resonance (MR)/photoacoustic (PA) imaging and combined photothermal, radiosensitive and chemical therapy. A programmed therapy strategy based on FRNPs is proposed. First, photothermal therapy is applied to ablate large tumors and increase the sensitivity of the tumor tissue to radiotherapy, then X-ray radiation is performed to further reduce the tumor size, and finally chemotherapeutic agents are used to eliminate smaller residual tumors and distant metastases. Results As revealed by fluorescence, MR and PA imaging, FRNPs achieved efficient aggregation and retention at tumor sites of mice after intravenous injection. In vivo studies have shown that the programmed treatment of FRNPs-injected nude mice which were exposed to X-ray after 808 laser irradiation achieved the greatest inhibition of tumor growth compared with other treatment groups. Moreover, no obvious systemic toxicity was observed in all groups of mice, indicating the good biocompatibility of FRNPs and the safety of the treatment scheme. Conclusion To sum up, our work not only showed a new radiosensitizer, but also provided a promising theranostic strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photothermal immunotherapy (PTI) has emerged as a promising approach for cancer treatment, while its efficacy is often hindered by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, this work presents a multifunctional platform for tumor PTI based on ruthenium nanocrystal-decorated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (RuNC-MSN). By precisely regulating the distance between RuNC on MSN, this work achieves a remarkable enhancement in surface plasmon resonance of RuNC, leading to a significant improvement in the photothermal efficiency of RuNC-MSN. Furthermore, the inherent catalase-like activity of RuNC-MSN enables effective modulation of the immunosuppressive TME, thereby facilitating an enhanced immune response triggered by the photothermal effect-mediated immunogenic cell death (ICD). As a result, RuNC-MSN exhibits superior PTI performance, resulting in pronounced inhibition of primary tumor and metastasis. This study highlights the rational design of PTI agents with coupling effect-enhanced surface plasmon resonance, enabling simultaneous induction of ICD and regulation of the immunosuppressive TME, thereby significantly boosting PTI efficacy.

Abstract
Imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising protocol for cancer theragnostic. However, facile preparation of such a theranostic system for simultaneously achieving tumor location, real-time monitoring, and high-performance reactive oxygen species generation is highly desirable but remains challenging. Herein, we developed a reasonable tumor-targeting strategy based on carbon dots (CDs)-decorated MnO2 nanosheets (HA-MnO2-CDs) with an active magnetic resonance (MR)/fluorescence imaging and enhanced PDT effect. Under light irradiation, the addition of HA-MnO2-CDs increased the production of 1O2 by 2.5 times compared with CDs, providing favorable conditions for the PDT treatment effect on breast cancer. Moreover, HA-MnO2-CDs exhibited excellent performance in producing O2 in the presence of endogenous H2O2, which alleviated hypoxia in tumors and improved the therapeutic effect of PDT. In the presence of glutathione (GSH), the degraded MnO2 nanosheets released CDs and Mn2+ from HA-MnO2-CDs, restoring their fluorescence imaging function and increasing T1 relaxivity (r1) by 23 times. In vivo fluorescence and MR imaging suggested the excellent tumor-targeting property of HA-MnO2-CDs. By combining the complementary properties of nanoprobes and tumor microenvironments, the in vivo PDT therapeutic effect was significantly improved under the action of HA-MnO2-CDs. Overall, our reasonably designed HA-MnO2-CDs may inspire the future development of the next generation of high-performance tumor-responsive diagnostic and therapeutic agents to further enhance the targeted therapy effect of tumors.

Abstract
Background: Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity represents a prevalent adverse effect encountered in patients undergoing treatment with doxorubicin. To date, there has been no bibliometric study to summarize the field of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. In our study, we aim to determine the current status and frontiers of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by bibliometric analysis. Methods: The documents concerning doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity are obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection database (WOSCC), and VOSviewer 1.6.16, CiteSpace 5.1.3 and the WOSCC's literature analysis wire were used to conduct the bibliometric analysis. Results: In total, 7,021 publications were encompassed, which are produced by 37,152 authors and 6,659 organizations, 1,323 journals, and 101 countries/regions. The most productive author, institution, country and journal were Bonnie Ky with 35 publications, University of Texas with 190 documents, the United States with 1,912 publications, and PLOS ONE with 120 documents. The first high-cited article was published in the NEJM with 8,134 citations authored by DJ Slamon et al., in 2001. For keyword analysis, there are four clusters depicted in distinct directions. The keywords in the red cluster are oxidative stress, apoptosis, and cardiomyopathy. The keywords in the green cluster are cardiotoxicity, heart failure, and anthracycline. The keywords in the blue cluster are chemotherapy, trastuzumab, and paclitaxel. The keywords in the purple cluster are doxorubicin, adriamycin, and cancer. Most of the documents were derived from the United States, China and Italy (4,080/7,021, 58.1%). The number of studies from other countries should be increased. Conclusion: In conclusion, the main research hotspots and frontiers in the field of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity include the role of doxorubicin in cardiotoxicity, the mechanisms underlying doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, and the development of treatment strategies for doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. More studies are needed to explore the mechanisms and treatment of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

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

Abstract
Intracellular redox homeostasis plays an important role in promoting tumor progression, development and even treatment resistance. To this end, redox balance impairment may become a prospective therapeutic target of cancer. Herein, a manganese-based homeostasis modulator (MHS) is developed for inducing severe reactive oxygen species accumulation and glutathione (GSH) deprivation, where such redox dyshomeostasis brings about dramatic ferroptosis/apoptosis. Tumor-specific degradation of manganese oxide nanocarriers contributes to hypoxia alleviation and loaded cargo release, resulting in apoptosis by augmented sonodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy. On the other hand, regional oxygenation significantly downregulates the expression of activating transcription factor 4, which can synergize with the released sulfasalazine to inhibit the downstream cystine antiporter xCT. Biosynthesis of GSH is sufficiently interrupted by the xCT suppression, leading to the reduction of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) level. The resultant excessive lipid peroxides promote intense ferroptosis to motivate cell death. On this basis, splendid treatment outcome by MHS is substantiated both in vitro and in vivo, thanks to the synergy of antitumor immunity elicitation. Taken together, this paradigm provides an insightful strategy to evoke drastic ferroptosis/apoptosis toward therapeutics and may also expand the eligibility of manganese-derived nanoagents for medical applications.

Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare but highly aggressive kind of thyroid cancer. Various therapeutic methods have been considered for the treatment of ATC, but its prognosis remains poor. With the advent of the nanomedicine era, the use of nanotechnology has been introduced in the treatment of various cancers and has shown great potential and broad prospects in ATC treatment. The current review meticulously describes and summarizes the research progress of various nanomedicine-based therapeutic methods of ATC, including chemotherapy, differentiation therapy, radioiodine therapy, gene therapy, targeted therapy, photothermal therapy, and combination therapy. Furthermore, potential future challenges and opportunities for the currently developed nanomedicines for ATC treatment are discussed. As far as we know, there are few reviews focusing on the nanomedicine of ATC therapy, and it is believed that this review will generate widespread interest from researchers in a variety of fields to further expedite preclinical research and clinical translation of ATC nanomedicines.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of tumor-related death worldwide. Conventional treatments for HCC include drugs, radiation, and surgery. Despite the unremitting efforts of researchers, the curative effect of HCC has been greatly improved, but because HCC is often found in the middle and late stages, the curative effect is still not satisfactory, and the 5-year survival rate is still low. Nanomedicine is a potential subject, which has been applied to the treatment of HCC and has achieved promising results. Here, we summarized the factors affecting the efficacy of drugs in HCC treatment and the strategies for improving the efficacy of nanotechnology-based drugs in HCC, reviewed the recent applications' progress on nanotechnology-based drugs in HCC treatment, and discussed the future perspectives and challenges of nanotechnology-based drugs in HCC treatment.

Abstract
MnO2 nanosheets (MnO2NSs) were synthesized by one-step method, and MnO2NSs were applied to A549 cell chemodynamic Therapy (CDT). The cytotoxicity, redox ability, and reactive oxygen species production of MnO2NSs have been investigated, and differences in cell metabolism during CDT were determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In addition, the metabolites of A549 lung cancer cells affected by MnO2NSs treatment are identified; metabolite differences were identified by PCA, PLS-DA, orthogonal PLS-DA, and other methods; and these differences were analyzed using non-targeted metabolomics. We found that A549 cells which were treated by MnO2NSs have 17 different metabolites and 9 metabolic pathways that varied markedly. Owing to their unique composition, structure, and physicochemical properties, MnO2NSs and their composites have become a favored type of nanomaterial used for CDT in cancer therapy. This work provides insights into the mechanism underlying the effects of MnO2NSs on the tumor microenvironment of A549 lung cancer cells, effectively making up for the deficiency of the study on cellular mechanism of CDT-induced apoptosis of cancer cells. It could aid the development of cancer CDT treatment strategies and help improve the use of nanomaterials in the clinical field.

Abstract
In recent years, because of the growing desire to improve the noninvasiveness and safety of tumor treatments, sonodynamic therapy has gradually become a popular research topic. However, due to the complexity of the therapeutic process, the relevant mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. One of the widely accepted possibilities involves the effect of reactive oxygen species. In this review, the mechanism of reactive oxygen species production by sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and ways to enhance the sonodynamic production of reactive oxygen species are reviewed. Then, the clinical application and limitations of SDT are discussed. In conclusion, current research on sonodynamic therapy should focus on the development of sonosensitizers that efficiently produce active oxygen, exhibit biological safety, and promote the clinical transformation of sonodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has developed rapidly in solid tumors, especially in the areas of blocking inhibitory immune checkpoints and adoptive T-cell transfer for immune regulation. Many patients benefit from immunotherapy. However, the response rate of immunotherapy in the overall population are relatively low, which depends on the characteristics of the tumor and individualized patient differences. Moreover, the occurrence of drug resistance and adverse reactions largely limit the development of immunotherapy. Recently, the emergence of nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) seems to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy by encapsulating drug carriers in nanoparticles to precisely reach the tumor site with high stability and biocompatibility, prolonging the drug cycle of action and greatly reducing the occurrence of toxic side effects. In this paper, we mainly review the advantages of NDDS and the mechanisms that enhance conventional immunotherapy in solid tumors, and summarize the recent advances in NDDS-based therapeutic strategies, which will provide valuable ideas for the development of novel tumor immunotherapy regimen.

Induction of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor-mediated signaling regulates cell motility and survival to anticancer drugs in cancer cells treated with hydrogen peroxide. Adv Biol Regul 2023; 89:100978. [PMID: 37603941 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbior.2023.100978] [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: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and promotes malignant properties of cancer cells. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling via LPA receptor (LPA1 to LPA6) regulates a variety of cellular functions, such as cell growth, migration and differentiation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of LPA receptors on the cell motility and survival to anticancer drugs by H2O2 in colon cancer DLD-1 cells. To obtain H2O2 treated (DLD- H2O2) cells, cells were maintained in culture medium containing H2O2 (60 μM) for 2 months. LPAR2 and LPAR4 gene expressions were markedly elevated in DLD-H2O2 cells. The cell motility of DLD-H2O2 cells was significantly lower than that of DLD-1 cells. DLD-H2O2 cell motility was suppressed by LPA2 knockdown and stimulated by LPA4 knockdown. The cell survival rates to fluorouracil (5-FU), irinotecan (CPT-11) and oxaliplatin (L-OHP) of DLD-H2O2 cells were significantly higher than those of DLD-1 cells. The cell survival rate to 5-FU of DLD-H2O2 cells was decreased by LPA2 knockdown. Conversely, LPA4 knockdown enhanced the cell survival rate to 5-FU of DLD-H2O2 cells. In the tumor microenvironment, high levels of H2O2 production are observed under hypoxic conditions. The cell survival rate to 5-FU of DLD-H2O2 cells cultured at 1% O2 was significantly higher than that of DLD-1 cells cultured at 1% O2, correlating with LPAR2 gene expression. The present results suggest that the induction of LPA receptor-mediated signaling plays an important role in regulating cellular functions of DLD-1 cells treated with H2O2.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging non-invasive cancer treatment method in the field of nanomedicine, which has the advantages of deep penetration, good therapeutic efficacy, and minimal damage to normal tissues. Sonosensitizers play a crucial role in the process of SDT, as their structure and properties directly determine the treatment outcome. Inorganic sonosensitizers, with their high stability and longer circulation time in the human body, have great potential in SDT. In this review, the possible mechanisms of SDT including the ultrasonic cavitation, reactive oxygen species generation, and activation of immunity are briefly discussed. Then, the latest research progress on inorganic sonosensitizers is systematically summarized. Subsequently, strategies for optimizing treatment efficacy are introduced, including combination therapy and image-guided therapy. The challenges and future prospects of sonodynamic therapy are discussed. It is hoped that this review will provide some guidance for the screening of inorganic sonosensitizers.

A hybrid nanopharmaceutical for specific-amplifying oxidative stress to initiate a cascade of catalytic therapy for pancreatic cancer. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:165. [PMID: 37221521 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-01932-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress (OS) induced by an imbalance of oxidants and antioxidants is an important aspect in anticancer therapy, however, as an adaptive response, excessive glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) acts as an antioxidant against high reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and prevents OS damage to maintain redox homoeostasis, suppressing the clinical efficacy of OS-induced anticancer therapies. RESULTS A naturally occurring ROS-activating drug, galangin (GAL), is introduced into a Fenton-like catalyst (SiO2@MnO2) to form a TME stimulus-responsive hybrid nanopharmaceutical (SiO2-GAL@MnO2, denoted SG@M) for enhancing oxidative stress. Once exposed to TME, as MnO2 responds and consumes GSH, the released Mn2+ converts endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which together with the subsequent release of GAL from SiO2 increases ROS. The "overwhelming" ROS cause OS-mediated mitochondrial malfunction with a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), which releases cytochrome c from mitochondria, activates the Caspase 9/Caspase 3 apoptotic cascade pathway. Downregulation of JAK2 and STAT3 phosphorylation levels blocks the JAK2/STAT3 cell proliferation pathway, whereas downregulation of Cyclin B1 protein levels arrest the cell cycle in the G2/M phase. During 18 days of in vivo treatment observation, tumor growth inhibition was found to be 62.7%, inhibiting the progression of pancreatic cancer. Additionally, the O2 and Mn2+ released during this cascade catalytic effect improve ultrasound imaging (USI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), respectively. CONCLUSION This hybrid nanopharmaceutical based on oxidative stress amplification provides a strategy for multifunctional integrated therapy of malignant tumors and image-visualized pharmaceutical delivery.

Abstract
Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer and there is a need for the development of effective anti-melanoma therapies as it shows high metastatic ability and low response rate. In addition, it has been identified that traditional phototherapy could trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD) to activate antitumor immune response, which could not only effectively arrest primary tumor growth, but also exhibit superior effects in terms of anti-metastasis, anti-recurrence for metastatic melanoma treatment However, the limited tumor accumulation of photosensitizers/photothermal agents and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment severely weaken the immune effects. The application of nanotechnology facilitates a higher accumulation of photosensitizers/photothermal agents at the tumor site, which can thus improve the antitumor effects of photo-immunotherapy (PIT). In this review, we summarize the basic principles of nanotechnology-based PIT and highlight novel nanotechnologies that are expected to enhance the antitumor immune response for improved therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
As an essential micronutrient, manganese (Mn) participates in various physiological processes and plays important roles in host immune system, hematopoiesis, endocrine function, and oxidative stress regulation. Mn-based nanoparticles are considered to be biocompatible and show versatile applications in nanomedicine, in particular utilized in tumor immunotherapy in the following ways: 1) acting as a biocompatible nanocarrier to deliver immunotherapeutic agents for tumor immunotherapy; 2) serving as an adjuvant to regulate tumor immune microenvironment and enhance immunotherapy; 3) activating host's immune system through the cGAS-STING pathway to trigger tumor immunotherapy; 4) real-time monitoring tumor immunotherapy effect by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) since Mn2+ ions are ideal MRI contrast agent which can significantly enhance the T1 -weighted MRI signal after binding to proteins. This comprehensive review focuses on the most recent progress of Mn-based nanoplatforms in tumor immunotherapy. The characteristics of Mn are first discussed to guide the design of Mn-based multifunctional nanoplatforms. Then the biomedical applications of Mn-based nanoplatforms, including immunotherapy alone, immunotherapy-involved multimodal synergistic therapy, and imaging-guided immunotherapy are discussed in detail. Finally, the challenges and future developments of Mn-based tumor immunotherapy are highlighted.

Abstract
Manganese oxide nanomaterials (MONs) are emerging as a type of highly promising nanomaterials for diseases diagnosis, and surface modification is the basis for colloidal stability and targeting delivery of the nanomaterials. Here, we report the in-situ functionalization of MnO2 with DNA through a biomineralization process. Using adsorption-oxidation method, DNA templated Mn2+ precursor to biomineralize into nano-cubic seed, followed by the growth of MnO2 to form cube/nanosheet hybrid nanostructure. Among four types of DNA homopolymers, poly-thymine (poly-T) was found to stably attach on MnO2 surface to resist various biological displacements (phosphate, serum, and complementary DNA). Capitalized on this finding, a di-block DNA was rationally designed, in which the poly-T block stably anchored on MnO2 surface, while the AS1411 aptamer block was not only an active ligand for tumor targeting delivery, but also a carrier for photosensitizer (Ce6) loading. Upon targeting delivery into tumor cells, the MnO2 acted as catalase-mimic nanozyme for oxygenation to sensitize photodynamic therapy, and the released Mn2+ triggered chemodynamic therapy via Fenton-like reaction, achieving synergistic anti-tumor effect with full biocompatibility. This work provides a simple yet robust strategy to functionalize metal oxides nanomaterials for biological applications via DNA-templated biomineralization.

Abstract
Constructive achievements in the field of nanobiotechnology and their translation into clinical course have led to increasing attention towards evaluation of their use for treatment of diseases, especially cancer. Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the primary bone malignancies that affects both males and females in childhood and adolescence. Like other types of cancers, genetic and epigenetic mutations account for OS progression and several conventional therapies including chemotherapy and surgery are employed. However, survival rate of OS patients remains low and new therapies in this field are limited. The purpose of the current review is to provide a summary of nanostructures used in OS treatment. Drug and gene delivery by nanoplatforms have resulted in an accumulation of therapeutic agents for tumor cell suppression. Furthermore, co-delivery of genes and drugs by nanostructures are utilized in OS suppression to boost immunotherapy. Since tumor cells have distinct features such as acidic pH, stimuli-responsive nanoparticles have been developed to appropriately target OS. Besides, nanoplatforms can be used for biosensing and providing phototherapy to suppress OS. Furthermore, surface modification of nanoparticles with ligands can increase their specificity and selectivity towards OS cells. Clinical translation of current findings suggests that nanoplatforms have been effective in retarding tumor growth and improving survival of OS patients.

Abstract
Phototherapeutic agent-based phototherapies activated by light have proven to be safe modalities for the treatment of various malignant tumor indications. The two main modalities of phototherapies include photothermal therapy, which causes localized thermal damage to target lesions, and photodynamic therapy, which causes localized chemical damage by generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). Conventional phototherapies suffer a major shortcoming in their clinical application due to their phototoxicity, which primarily arises from the uncontrolled distribution of phototherapeutic agents in vivo. For successful antitumor phototherapy, it is essential to ensure the generation of heat or ROS specifically occurs at the tumor site. To minimize the reverse side effects of phototherapy while improving its therapeutic performance, extensive research has focused on developing hydrogel-based phototherapy for tumor treatment. The utilization of hydrogels as drug carriers allows for the sustained delivery of phototherapeutic agents to tumor sites, thereby limiting their adverse effects. Herein, we summarize the recent advancements in the design of hydrogels for antitumor phototherapy, offer a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in hydrogel-based phototherapy and its combination with other therapeutic modalities for tumor treatment, and discuss the current clinical status of hydrogel-based antitumor phototherapy.

Delivery of miR-3529-3p using MnO 2 -SiO 2 -APTES nanoparticles combined with phototherapy suppresses lung adenocarcinoma progression by targeting HIGD1A. Thorac Cancer 2023; 14:913-928. [PMID: 36808485 PMCID: PMC10067359 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.14823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to investigate the function of miR-3529-3p in lung adenocarcinoma and MnO2 -SiO2 -APTES (MSA) as a promising multifunctional delivery agent for lung adenocarcinoma therapy. METHODS Expression levels of miR-3529-3p were evaluated in lung carcinoma cells and tissues by qRT-PCR. The effects of miR-3529-3p on apoptosis, proliferation, metastasis and neovascularization were assessed by CCK-8, FACS, transwell and wound healing assays, tube formation and xenografts experiments. Luciferase reporter assays, western blot, qRT-PCR and mitochondrial complex assay were used to determine the targeting relationship between miR-3529-3p and hypoxia-inducible gene domain family member 1A (HIGD1A). MSA was fabricated using MnO2 nanoflowers, and its heating curves, temperature curves, IC50, and delivery efficiency were examined. The hypoxia and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was investigated by nitro reductase probing, DCFH-DA staining and FACS. RESULTS MiR-3529-3p expression was reduced in lung carcinoma tissues and cells. Transfection of miR-3529-3p could promote apoptosis and suppress cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis. As a target of miR-3529-3p, HIGD1A expression was downregulated, through which miR-3529-3p could disrupt the activities of complexes III and IV of the respiratory chain. The multifunctional nanoparticle MSA could not only efficiently deliver miR-3529-3p into cells, but also enhance the antitumor function of miR-3529-3p. The underlying mechanism may be that MSA alleviates hypoxia and has synergistic effects in cellular ROS promotion with miR-3529-3p. CONCLUSIONS Our results establish the antioncogenic role of miR-3529-3p, and demonstrate that miR-3529-3p delivered by MSA has enhanced tumor suppressive effects, probably through elevating ROS production and thermogenesis.

Manganese oxide-modified bismuth oxychloride piezoelectric nanoplatform with multiple enzyme-like activities for cancer sonodynamic therapy. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 640:839-850. [PMID: 36905893 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is considered as a new-rising strategy for cancer therapeutics, but the inefficient production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by current sonosensitizers seriously hinders its further applications. Herein, a piezoelectric nanoplatform is fabricated for enhancing SDT against cancer, in which manganese oxide (MnOx) with multiple enzyme-like activities is loaded on the surface of piezoelectric bismuth oxychloride nanosheets (BiOCl NSs) to form a heterojunction. When exposed to ultrasound (US) irradiation, piezotronic effect can remarkably promote the separation and transport of US-induced free charges, and further enhance ROS generation in SDT. Meanwhile, the nanoplatform shows multiple enzyme-like activities from MnOx, which can not only downregulate the intracellular glutathione (GSH) level, but also disintegrate endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate oxygen (O2) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH). As a result, the anticancer nanoplatform substantially boosts ROS generation and reverses tumor hypoxia. Ultimately, it reveals remarkable biocompatibility and tumor suppression in a murine model of 4 T1 breast cancer under US irradiation. This work provides a feasible pathway for improving SDT using piezoelectric platforms.

Abstract
Although we have made remarkable achievements in cancer awareness and medical technology, there are still tremendous increases in cancer incidence and mortality. However, most anti-tumor strategies, including immunotherapy, show low efficiency in clinical application. More and more evidence suggest that this low efficacy may be closely related to the immunosuppression of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME plays a significant role in tumorigenesis, development, and metastasis. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the TME during antitumor therapy. Several strategies are developing to regulate the TME as inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, reversing tumor associated macrophage (TAM) phenotype, removing T cell immunosuppression, and so on. Among them, nanotechnology shows great potential for delivering regulators into TME, which further enhance the antitumor therapy efficacy. Properly designed nanomaterials can carry regulators and/or therapeutic agents to eligible locations or cells to trigger specific immune response and further kill tumor cells. Specifically, the designed nanoparticles could not only directly reverse the primary TME immunosuppression, but also induce effective systemic immune response, which would prevent niche formation before metastasis and inhibit tumor recurrence. In this review, we summarized the development of nanoparticles (NPs) for anti-cancer therapy, TME regulation, and tumor metastasis inhibition. We also discussed the prospect and potential of nanocarriers for cancer therapy.

Novel Gene Signatures Promote Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Glucose Deprivation-Based Microenvironment to Predict Recurrence-Free Survival in Hepatocellular Carcinoma. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2023; 2023:6114976. [PMID: 36866237 PMCID: PMC9974289 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6114976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023]
Abstract
Background Current research studies have suggested that glucose deprivation (GD)-based tumor microenvironment (TME) can promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of tumor cells, leading to tumor invasion and metastasis. However, no one has yet studied detailedly the synthetic studies that include GD features in TME with EMT status. In our research, we comprehensively developed and validated a robust signature regarding GD and EMT status to provide prognostic value for patients with liver cancer. Methods GD and EMT status were estimated with transcriptomic profiles based on WGCNA and t-SNE algorithms. Two cohorts of training (TCGA_LIHC) and validation (GSE76427) datasets were analyzed with the Cox regression and logistic regression analyses. We identified a 2-mRNA signature to establish a GD-EMT-based gene risk model for the prediction of HCC relapse. Results Patients with significant GD-EMT status were divided into two subgroups: GDlow/EMTlow and GDhigh/EMThigh, with the latter having significantly worse recurrence-free survival (P < 0.01). We employed the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) technique as a method for HNF4A and SLC2A4 filtering and constructing a risk score for risk stratification. In the multivariate analysis, this risk score predicted recurrence-free survival (RFS) in both the discovery and validation cohorts and remained valid in patients stratified by TNM stage and age at diagnosis. The nomogram that combines risk score and TNM stage as well as age produces improved performance and net benefits in the analysis of calibration and decision curves in training and validation groups. Conclusions The GD-EMT-based signature predictive model may provide a prognosis classifier for HCC patients with a high risk of postoperative recurrence to decrease the relapse rate.

Abstract
New nanotechnologies for imaging molecules are widely being applied to visualize the expression of specific molecules (e.g., ions, biomarkers) for disease diagnosis. Among various nanoplatforms, nanozymes, which exhibit enzyme-like catalytic activities in vivo, have gained tremendously increasing attention in molecular imaging due to their unique properties such as diverse enzyme-mimicking activities, excellent biocompatibility, ease of surface tenability, and low cost. In addition, by integrating different nanoparticles with superparamagnetic, photoacoustic, fluorescence, and photothermal properties, the nanoenzymes are able to increase the imaging sensitivity and accuracy for better understanding the complexity and the biological process of disease. Moreover, these functions encourage the utilization of nanozymes as therapeutic agents to assist in treatment. In this review, we focus on the applications of nanozymes in molecular imaging and discuss the use of peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) with different imaging modalities. Further, the applications of nanozymes for cancer treatment, bacterial infection, and inflammation image-guided therapy are discussed. Overall, this review aims to provide a complete reference for research in the interdisciplinary fields of nanotechnology and molecular imaging to promote the advancement and clinical translation of novel biomimetic nanozymes.

Abstract
As an essential micronutrient, manganese plays an important role in the physiological process and immune process. In recent decades, cGAS-STING pathway, which can congenitally recognize exogenous and endogenous DNA for activation, has been widely reported to play critical roles in the innate immunity against some important diseases, such as infections and tumor. Manganese ion (Mn2+) has been recently proved to specifically bind with cGAS and activate cGAS-STING pathway as a potential cGAS agonist, however, is significantly restricted by the low stability of Mn2+ for further medical application. As one of the most stable forms of manganese, manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanomaterials have been reported to show multiple promising functions, such as drug delivery, anti-tumor and anti-infection activities. More importantly, MnO2 nanomaterials are also found to be a potential candidate as cGAS agonist by transforming into Mn2+, which indicates their potential for cGAS-STING regulations in different diseased conditions. In this review, we introduced the methods for the preparation of MnO2 nanomaterials as well as their biological activities. Moreover, we emphatically introduced the cGAS-STING pathway and discussed the detailed mechanisms of MnO2 nanomaterials for cGAS activation by converting into Mn2+. And we also discussed the application of MnO2 nanomaterials for disease treatment by regulating cGAS-STING pathway, which might benefit the future development of novel cGAS-STING targeted treatments based on MnO2 nanoplatforms.

Oxygen-generating polymer vesicles for enhanced sonodynamic tumor therapy. J Control Release 2023; 353:975-987.

Abstract
The efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is often limited by the insolubility of sonosensitizers and unfavorable hypoxia tumor microenvironment. To meet this challenge, an oxygen-generating polymer vesicle is developed to achieve enhanced SDT. The hydrophilic coronas and the hydrophobic membrane of polymer vesicles can function as different modules for the simultaneous delivery of manganese dioxide and chlorine e6 (designated as Ce6-MnO2-PVs). These Ce6-MnO2-PVs exhibited high catalase mimetic activity and could efficiently generate reactive oxygen species upon ultrasound activation. In vivo results showed that Ce6-MnO2-PVs almost completely eradicated the subcutaneous tumors (94% volume reduction) without any obvious systemic toxicity. Moreover, these Ce6-MnO2-PVs showed effective behavior for the attenuation of crucial tumor progression-releated factors. Specially, the expression levels of both hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and vascular endothelial growth factor at 4 h post-injection detected by immunofluorescence were reduced by 66% and 52%, respectively. These findings suggest that Ce6-MnO2-PVs may serve as an effective and safe platform for enahnced SDT in hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Malignant tumors, one of the worst-case scenarios within human health problems, are now posing an increasing threat to the well-being of the global population. At present, the treatment of malignant tumors mainly includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are often applied to inoperable tumors, and some other tumors after surgery as important adjuvant therapies. Nonetheless, both radiotherapy and chemotherapy have a series of side effects, such as radiation-induced lung injury, and chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression. In addition, the positioning accuracy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is not assured and satisfactory, and the possibility of tumor cells not being sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy drugs is also problematic. Nanozymes are nanomaterials that display natural enzyme activities, and their applications to tumor therapy have made great progress recently. The most studied one, platinum nanozyme, has been shown to possess a significant correlation with radiotherapy sensitization of tumors as well as photodynamic therapy. However, there are still several issues that limited the usage of platinum-based nanozymes in vivo. In this review, we briefly summarize the representative studies regarding platinum nanozymes, and especially emphasize on the current challenges and the directions of future development for platinum nanozymes therapy.

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.
