ACS APPLIED BIO MATERIALS 2024; 7:2781-2793. [PMID: 38380497 PMCID: PMC11110068 DOI: 10.1021/acsabm.3c01181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
A synergistic therapy agent (STA) with photothermal, photodynamic, chemodynamic, and starvation therapy (PTT, PDT, CDT, and ST) functions was developed. Hollow, mesoporous, and nearly uniform CeO2 nanoparticles (H-CeO2 NPs) were synthesized using a staged shape templating sol-gel protocol. Chlorin e6 (Ce6) was adsorbed onto H-CeO2 NPs, and a thin polydopamine (PDA) layer was formed on Ce6-adsorbed H-CeO2 NPs. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was bound onto PDA-coated Ce6-adsorbed H-CeO2 NPs to obtain the targeted STA (H-CeO2@Ce6@PDA@GOx NPs). A reversible photothermal conversion behavior with the temperature elevations up to 34 °C was observed by NIR laser irradiation at 808 nm. A cascade enzyme system based on immobilized GOx and intrinsic catalase-like activity of H-CeO2 NPs was rendered on STA for enhancing the effectiveness of PDT by elevation of ROS generation and alleviation of hypoxia in a tumor microenvironment. Glucose-mediated generation of highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) was evaluated for CDT. The effectiveness of PDT on glioblastoma T98G cells was markedly enhanced by O2 generation started by the decomposition of glucose. A similar increase in cell death was also observed when ST and CDT functions were enhanced by photothermal action. The viability of T98G cells decreased to 10.6% by in vitro synergistic action including ST, CDT, PDT, and PTT without using any antitumor agent.

Its notable advantages in cancer treatment are demonstrated, including tumor specificity, autonomy from external triggers, and a favorable side-effect profile. Recent advancements in nanomedicine are devoted to enhancing CDT, promising a comprehensive optimization of CDT efficacy. This review systematically elucidates cutting-edge achievements in chemodynamic nanotherapeutics, exploring strategies for enhanced Fenton or Fenton-like reactions, improved tumor microenvironment modulation, and precise regulation in energy metabolism. Moreover, a detailed analysis of diverse CDT-mediated combination therapies is provided. Finally, the review concludes with a comprehensive discussion of the prospects and intrinsic challenges to the application of chemodynamic nanotherapeutics in the domain of cancer treatment.

Abstract
The burgeoning prodrug strategy offers a promising avenue toward improving the efficacy and specificity of cytotoxic drugs. Elevated intracellular levels of glutathione (GSH) have been regarded as a hallmark of tumor cells and characteristic feature of the tumor microenvironment. Considering the pivotal involvement of elevated GSH in the tumorigenic process, a diverse repertoire of GSH-triggered prodrugs has been developed for cancer therapy, facilitating the attenuation of deleterious side effects associated with conventional chemotherapeutic agents and/or the attainment of more efficacious therapeutic outcomes. These prodrug formulations encompass a spectrum of architectures, spanning from small molecules to polymer-based and organic-inorganic nanomaterial constructs. Although the GSH-triggered prodrugs have been gaining increasing interests, a comprehensive review of the advancements made in the field is still lacking. To fill the existing lacuna, this review undertakes a retrospective analysis of noteworthy research endeavors, based on a categorization of these molecules by their diverse recognition units (i.e., disulfides, diselenides, Michael acceptors, and sulfonamides/sulfonates). This review also focuses on explaining the distinct benefits of employing various chemical architecture strategies in the design of these prodrug agents. Furthermore, we highlight the potential for synergistic functionality by incorporating multiple-targeting conjugates, theranostic entities, and combinational treatment modalities, all of which rely on the GSH-triggering. Overall, an extensive overview of the emerging field is presented in this review, highlighting the obstacles and opportunities that lie ahead. Our overarching goal is to furnish methodological guidance for the development of more efficacious GSH-triggered prodrugs in the future. By assessing the pros and cons of current GSH-triggered prodrugs, we expect that this review will be a handful reference for prodrug design, and would provide a guidance for improving the properties of prodrugs and discovering novel trigger scaffolds for constructing GSH-triggered prodrugs.

Abstract
Nanozyme catalytic therapy for cancer treatments has become one of the heated topics, and the therapeutic efficacy is highly correlated with their catalytic efficiency. In this work, three copper-doped CeO2 supports with various structures as well as crystal facets are developed to realize dual enzyme-mimic catalytic activities, that is superoxide dismutase (SOD) to reduce superoxide radicals to H2 O2 and peroxidase (POD) to transform H2 O2 to ∙OH. The wire-shaped CeO2 /Cu-W has the richest surface oxygen vacancies, and a low level of oxygen vacancy (Vo) formation energy, which allows for the elimination of intracellular reactive oxygen spieces (ROS) and continuous transformation to ∙OH with cascade reaction. Moreover, the wire-shaped CeO2 /Cu-W displays the highest toxic ∙OH production capacity in an acidic intracellular environment, inducing breast cancer cell death and pro-apoptotic autophagy. Therefore, wire-shaped CeO2 /Cu nanoparticles as an artificial enzyme system can have great potential in the intervention of intracellular ROS in cancer cells, achieving efficacious nanocatalytic therapy.

Abstract
Intracellular singlet oxygen (1O2) generation and detection help optimize the outcome of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Theranostics programmed for on-demand phototriggered 1O2 release and bioimaging have great potential to transform PDT. We demonstrate an ultrasensitive fluorescence turn-on sensor-sensitizer-RGD peptide-silica nanoarchitecture and its 1O2 generation-releasing-storing-sensing properties at the single-particle level or in living cells. The sensor and sensitizer in the nanoarchitecture are an aminomethyl anthracene (AMA)-coumarin dyad and a porphyrin or CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), respectively. The AMA in the dyad quantitatively quenches the fluorescence of coumarin by intramolecular electron transfer, the porphyrin or QD moiety generates 1O2, and the RGD peptide facilitates intracellular delivery. The small size, below 200 nm, as verified by scanning electron microscopy and differential light scattering measurements, of the architecture within the 1O2 diffusion length enables fast and efficient intracellular fluorescence switching by the tandem ultraviolet (UV)-visible or visible-near-infrared (NIR) photo-triggering. While the red emission and 1O2 generation by the porphyrin are continually turned on, the blue emission of coumarin is uncaged into 230-fold intensity enhancement by on-demand photo-triggering. The 1O2 production and release by the nanoarchitecture enable spectro-temporally controlled cell imaging and apoptotic cell death; the latter is verified from cytotoxic data under dark and phototriggering conditions. Furthermore, the bioimaging potential of the TCPP-based nanoarchitecture is examined in vivo in B6 mice.

Abstract
Due to the limitation that natural peroxidase enzymes can only function in relatively mild environments, nanozymes have expanded the application of enzymology in the biological field by dint of their ability to maintain catalytic oxidative activity in relatively harsh environments. At the same time, the development of new and highly efficient composite nanozymes has been a challenge due to the limitations of monometallic particles in applications and the inherently poor enzyme-mimetic activity of composite nanozymes. The inherent enzyme-mimicking activity is due to Au, Ag, and Pt, along with other transition metals. Moreover, the nanomaterials exhibit excellent enzyme-mimicking activity when composited with other materials. Therefore, this paper focuses on composite nanozymes with simulated peroxidase activity that have been prepared using noble metals such as Au, Ag, and Pt and other transition metal nanoparticles in recent years. Their simulated enzymatic activity is utilized for biomedical applications such as glucose detection, cancer cell detection and tumor treatment, and antibacterial applications.

Abstract
Mild photothermal therapy (mPTT), which circumvents the limitations of conventional photothermal therapy, is emerging and exhibits remarkable potential in clinical applications. Nevertheless, mPTT is not able to efficiently eradicate tumors because its therapeutic efficacy is dramatically diminished by stress-induced heat shock proteins (HSP). Herein, a core-shell structured Au@Pd (AP) bimetallic nanozyme was fabricated for reactive oxygen species (ROS) augmentation-induced mPTT. The nanocatalytic AP nanozymes with photothermal conversion performance harbor multienzymatic (catalase, oxidase, and peroxidase) activities to induce ROS storm formation. The generated ROS could suppress the heat-defense response of tumor cells by cleaving HSP. Overall, our work highlights a ROS-regulating strategy to counteract hyperthermia-associated resistance in mPTT.

Abstract
Biomimetic nano-platforms have attracted extensive attention due to their good biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and homologous targeting to lesions. In this study, glioma cell membranes are used to encapsulate indocyanine green (ICG) loaded nanoparticles (SLNP/ICG), termed as SLNP/ICG@M for targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) against glioma. Cell membrane modification significantly enhances cellular uptake of SLNP/ICG@M in homologous glioma cells in vitro and tumor distribution in vivo. Furthermore, SLNP/ICG@M can stimulate glioma cells to generate plentiful reactive oxygen species (ROS) under NIR irradiation, finally producing excellent photo-cytotoxicity and the optimal tumor growth inhibition with a tumor suppression rate of 93.2%. We also confirm that SLNP/ICG@M combined with NIR irradiation could activate mitochondria mediated apoptosis pathway, and the increased proliferation of CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells accompanied by immune activation further enhances PDT effect of SLNP/ICG@M. Herein, SLNP/ICG@M is a promising biomimetic nano drug delivery system for glioma targeted PDT therapy.

Abstract
Nanozyme-based tumour catalytic therapy has attracted widespread attention in recent years, but the therapeutic efficacy is limited due to the trapping of hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) by endogenous glutathione (GSH) in the tumour microenvironment (TME). Zr/Ce-MOFs/DOX/MnO2 is constructed in this work to serve as a new kind of nanozyme for combination chemotherapy and catalytic treatment. Zr/Ce-MOFs can produce ˙OH in a mimic TME, and the MnO2 on the surface could deplete the GSH, further promoting the ˙OH generation. The pH/GSH dual stimulation accelerates the release of anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) in tumour tissue for enhanced tumour chemotherapy. Moreover, Mn2+ produced by the reaction of Zr/Ce-MOFs/DOX/MnO2 and GSH can be used as the contrast agent for T1-MRI. The potential antitumour effect of Zr/Ce-MOFs/DOX/MnO2 is demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo cancer treatment tests. This work thus provides a new nanozyme-based platform for enhanced combination chemotherapy and catalytic treatment for tumours.

Biofilm Homeostasis Interference Therapy via 1 O 2 -Sensitized Hyperthermia and Immune Microenvironment Re-Rousing for Biofilm-Associated Infections Elimination.

Abstract
The recurrence of biofilm-associated infections (BAIs) remains high after implant-associated surgery. Biofilms on the implant surface reportedly shelter bacteria from antibiotics and evade innate immune defenses. Moreover, little is currently known about eliminating residual bacteria that can induce biofilm reinfection. Herein, novel "interference-regulation strategy" based on bovine serum albumin-iridium oxide nanoparticles (BIONPs) as biofilm homeostasis interrupter and immunomodulator via singlet oxygen (1 O2 )-sensitized mild hyperthermia for combating BAIs is reported. The catalase-like BIONPs convert abundant H2 O2 inside the biofilm-microenvironment (BME) to sufficient oxygen gas (O2 ), which can efficiently enhance the generation of 1 O2 under near-infrared irradiation. The 1 O2 -induced biofilm homeostasis disturbance (e.g., sigB, groEL, agr-A, icaD, eDNA) can disrupt the sophisticated defense system of biofilm, further enhancing the sensitivity of biofilms to mild hyperthermia. Moreover, the mild hyperthermia-induced bacterial membrane disintegration results in protein leakage and 1 O2 penetration to kill bacteria inside the biofilm. Subsequently, BIONPs-induced immunosuppressive microenvironment re-rousing successfully re-polarizes macrophages to pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype in vivo to devour residual biofilm and prevent biofilm reconstruction. Collectively, this 1 O2 -sensitized mild hyperthermia can yield great refractory BAIs treatment via biofilm homeostasis interference, mild-hyperthermia, and immunotherapy, providing a novel and effective anti-biofilm strategy.

Abstract
Contrast agents in the second window of the near-infrared region (NIR II, 1000–1700 nm) have several advantages and indocyanine green (ICG), which emits NIR II fluorescence, is clinically approved and its use has been widely investigated for in vivo imaging, specifically for delineating tumor outlines; however, insufficient tumor targeting and rapid physiological metabolism of free ICG has substantially impeded its further clinical application. Here, we constructed novel hollowed mesoporous selenium oxide nanocarriers for precise ICG delivery. After surface modification with the active tumor targeting amino acid motif, RGD (hmSeO2@ICG-RGD), the nanocarriers were preferentially targeted toward tumor cells and subsequently degraded for ICG and Se-based nanogranule release under tumor tissue extracellular pH conditions (pH 6.5). The released ICG acted as an NIR II contrast agent, highlighting tumor tissue, after intravenous administration of hmSeO2@ICG-RGD into mammary tumor-bearing mice. Importantly, the photothermal effect of ICG improved reactive oxygen species production from SeO2 nanogranules, inducing oxidative therapy. The synergistic therapeutic effects of hyperthermia and increased oxidative stress on 808 nm laser exposure induced significant tumor cell killing. Thus, our nanoplatform can generate a high-performance diagnostic and therapeutic nanoagent that facilitates in vivo tumor outline discrimination and tumor ablation.

Abstract
The antioxidant system of tumor cells severely impairs reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated tumor therapy. Despite extensive attempts to attenuate the antioxidant capacity by eliminating ROS scavengers such as glutathione (GSH), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) over-expressed in the tumor microenvironment can regenerate GSH from glutathione disulfide (GSSG), hence weakening ROS-induced oxidative damage. Therefore, engineering a nanoplatform capable of depleting both NADPH and GSH is extremely significant for improving ROS-mediated tumor treatment. Herein, a synergetic antioxidant inhibition strategy is proposed to attenuate intracellular antioxidant capacity for hypoxic tumor therapy. In this context, both porous Prussian blue nanoparticles (PPB NPs) and cisplatin prodrug [cis-Pt (IV)] in the nanoplatform can oxidize GSH to directly reduce GSH levels, while PPB NPs also enable NADPH depletion by peroxidase-mimicking to impair GSH regeneration. Furthermore, PPB NPs with catalase-mimicking activity catalyze H2O2 decomposition to alleviate tumor hypoxia, thus reducing the generation of GSH and boosting singlet oxygen (1O2) production by Chlorin e6 (Ce6) for enhancing oxidative damage. Experimental results prove that the nanoplatform, denoted as PPB-Ce6-Pt, can induce remarkable tumor cells apoptosis and ferroptosis. Importantly, a simple loading method and the use of Food Drug Administration (FDA)-approved materials make PPB-Ce6-Pt have great potential for practical applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The antioxidant system in tumor cells disables ROS-mediated tumor therapy. Besides, extensive attempts aim at depleting GSH without considering their regeneration. Therefore, we developed a synergetic strategy to attenuate intracellular antioxidant capacity for hypoxic tumor therapy. PPB-Ce6-Pt nanoplatform could not only directly reduce GSH levels but also deplete NADPH by peroxidase-mimicking to impair GSH regeneration. In addition, PPB-Ce6-Pt nanoplatform could catalyze H2O2 decomposition to alleviate tumor hypoxia, thus reducing the generation of GSH and boosting 1O2 production by Chlorin e6 (Ce6) for increasing oxidative damage. Then, intracellular ROS boost and redox dyshomeostasis induced remarkable tumor cells apoptosis and ferroptosis. Importantly, a simple loading method and the use of biosafety materials made the nanoplatform have great potential for practical applications.

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.

Abstract
Inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a critical strategy for enhancing cancer immunotherapy. However, inefficient and risky ICD inducers along with a tumor hypoxia microenvironment seriously limit the immunotherapy efficacy. Non-specific delivery is also responsible for this inefficiency. In this work, we report a drug-free bacteria-derived outer membrane vesicle (OMV)-functionalized Fe3O4-MnO2 (FMO) nanoplatform that realized neutrophil-mediated targeted delivery and photothermally enhanced cancer immunotherapy. In this system, modification of OMVs derived from Escherichia coli enhanced the accumulation of FMO NPs at the tumor tissue through neutrophil-mediated targeted delivery. The FMO NPs underwent reactive decomposition in the tumor site, generating manganese and iron ions that induced ICD and O2 that regulated the tumor hypoxia environment. Moreover, OMVs are rich in pathogen-associated pattern molecules that can overcome the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment and effectively activate immune cells, thereby enhancing specific immune responses. Photothermal therapy (PTT) caused by MnO2 and Fe3O4 can not only indirectly stimulate systemic immunity by directly destroying tumor cells but also promote the enrichment of neutrophil-equipped nanoparticles by enhancing the inflammatory response at the tumor site. Finally, the proposed multi-modal treatment system with targeted delivery capability realized effective tumor immunotherapy to prevent tumor growth and recurrence.

Abstract
Early and rapid diagnosis of tumors is essential for clinical treatment or management. In contrast to conventional means, bioimaging has the potential to accurately locate and diagnose tumors at an early stage. Fluorescent probe has been developed as an ideal tool to visualize tumor sites and to detect biological molecules which provides a requirement for noninvasive, real-time, precise, and specific visualization of structures and complex biochemical processes in vivo. Rencently, the development of synthetic organic chemistry and new materials have facilitated the development of near-infrared small molecular sensing platforms and nanoimaging platforms. This provides a competitive tool for various fields of bioimaging such as biological structure and function imaging, disease diagnosis, in situ at the in vivo level, and real-time dynamic imaging. This review systematically focused on the recent progress of small molecular near-infrared fluorescent probes and nano-fluorescent probes as new biomedical imaging tools in the past 3-5 years, and it covers the application of tumor biomarker sensing, tumor microenvironment imaging, and tumor vascular imaging, intraoperative guidance and as an integrated platform for diagnosis, aiming to provide guidance for researchers to design and develop future biomedical diagnostic tools.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a distinctive feature of most solid tumors due to insufficient oxygen supply of the abnormal vasculature, which cannot work with the demands of the fast proliferation of cancer cells. One of the main obstacles to limiting the efficacy of cancer medicines is tumor hypoxia. Thus, oxygen is a vital parameter for controlling the efficacy of different types of cancer therapy, such as chemotherapy (CT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), immunotherapy (IT), and radiotherapy (RT). Numerous technologies have attracted much attention for enhancing oxygen distribution in humans and improving the efficacy of cancer treatment. Such technologies include treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO), delivering oxygen by polysaccharides (e.g., cellulose, gelatin, alginate, and silk) and other biocompatible synthetic polymers (e.g., PMMA, PLA, PVA, PVP and PCL), decreasing oxygen consumption, producing oxygen in situ in tumors, and using polymeric systems as oxygen carriers. Herein, this review provides an overview of the relationship between hypoxia in tumor cells and its role in the limitation of different cancer therapies alongside the numerous strategies for oxygen delivery using polysaccharides and other biomaterials as carriers and for oxygen generation.

Abstract
The combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and immune tumor therapy has emerged as a promising avenue for cancer treatment. However, the insufficient immune response caused by inefficient immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducers and thermal resistance, immunosuppression, and immune escape resulting from the hypoxic microenvironment of solid tumors severely limit its efficacy. Herein, we report an ultrasound and laser-promoted dual-gas nano-generator (calcium carbonate-polydopamine-manganese oxide nanoparticles, CPM NPs) for enhanced photothermal/immune tumor therapy through reprogramming tumor hypoxic microenvironment. In this system, CPM NPs undergo reactive decomposition in a moderately acidic tumor, resulting in the generation of calcium, manganese ions, carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxygen (O2). Calcium and manganese ions act as adjuvants that trigger an immune response. The cancer cell membrane rupture caused by sudden burst of bubbles (CO2 and O2) under ultrasound stimulation and the photothermal properties of PDA also contributed to the ICD effect. The generation of O2 alleviates tumor hypoxia and thus reduces hypoxia-induced heat resistance and immunosuppressive effects, thereby improving the therapeutic efficacy of combination PTT and immune therapy. The present study provides a novel approach for the fabrication of a safe and effective tumor treatment platform for future clinical applications.

Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:351. [PMID: 36008738 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05451-x] [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: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in drug-induced cytotoxicity by regulating cell signaling, inducing oxidative stress, and damaging the DNA and proteins. Examining ROS production in cells under the stimulation of chemotherapeutic drugs is of great importance for understanding the ROS roles and identifying the mechanism of drug-induced cytotoxicity. Here, a silver/gold (Ag/Au) nanoshell-based colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) dual-response nanoprobe was proposed for ROS sensing on the basis of Ag etching. In this study, as a kind of ROS, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was detected by the prepared nanoprobe. The linear ranges of 0.5-100 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.343 μM for the colorimetric determination and 1-50 μM with LOD of 0.294 μM for SERS determination were achieved. The detection of cellular ROS concentration after stimulation by cisplatin, paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil was validated by the nanoprobe. The nanoprobe could also be used to detect the signal pathway of ROS production by cisplatin stimulation. This study provided a simple and novel dual-response nanoplatform for detecting and monitoring ROS in cells, which holds great potential for elucidating the mechanism of occurrence and treatment of ROS-involved diseases.

Abstract
Cancer is the leading cause of death in people worldwide. The conventional therapeutic approach is mainly based on chemotherapy, which has a series of side effects. Compared with traditional chemotherapy drugs, nanoparticle-based delivery of anti-cancer drugs possesses a few attractive features. The application of nanotechnology in an interdisciplinary manner in the biomedical field has led to functional nanoparticles achieving much progress in cancer therapy. Nanoparticles have been involved in the diagnosis and targeted and personalized treatment of cancer. For example, different nano-drug strategies, including endogenous and exogenous stimuli-responsive, surface conjugation, and macromolecular encapsulation for nano-drug systems, have successfully prevented tumor procession. The future for functional nanoparticles is bright and promising due to the fast development of nanotechnology. However, there are still some challenges and limitations that need to be considered. Based on the above contents, the present article analyzes the progress in developing functional nanoparticles in cancer therapy. Research gaps and promising strategies for the clinical application are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Within the field of oncotherapy, research interest regarding immunotherapy has risen to the point that it is now seen as a key application. However, inherent disadvantages of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as their low response rates and immune-related adverse events (irAEs), currently restrict their clinical application. Were these disadvantages to be overcome, more patients could derive prolonged benefits from ICIs. At present, many basic experiments and clinical studies using hyperthermia combined with ICI treatment (HIT) have been performed and shown the potential to address the above challenges. Therefore, this review extensively summarizes the knowledge and progress of HIT for analysis and discusses the effect and feasibility. METHODS In this review, we explored the PubMed and clinicaltrials.gov databases, with regard to the searching terms "immune checkpoint inhibitor, immunotherapy, hyperthermia, ablation, photothermal therapy". RESULTS By reviewing the literature, we analyzed how hyperthermia influences tumor immunology and improves the efficacy of ICI. Hyperthermia can trigger a series of multifactorial molecular cascade reactions between tumors and immunization and can significantly induce cytological modifications within the tumor microenvironment (TME). The pharmacological potency of ICIs can be enhanced greatly through the immunomodulatory amelioration of immunosuppression, and the activation of immunostimulation. Emerging clinical trials outcome regarding HIT have verified and enriched the theoretical foundation of synergistic sensitization. CONCLUSION HIT research is now starting to transition from preclinical studies to clinical investigations. Several HIT sensitization mechanisms have been reflected and demonstrated as significant survival benefits for patients through pioneering clinical trials. Further studies into the theoretical basis and practical standards of HIT, combined with larger-scale clinical studies involving more cancer types, will be necessary for the future.

Abstract
Although tumor starvation therapy has been proven to be an excellent method for tumor therapy, its efficiency may be weakened by autophagy, a self-protection mechanism exerted by tumors under starvation stress. Interestingly, over-activated autophagy not only improves the efficacy of starvation therapy, but also induces autophagic death. Herein, we report cascade nanozymes for enhanced starvation therapy by inducing over-activated autophagy. First, glucose oxidase (GOx) modified metal-organic frameworks (NH2-MIL88, MOF) were constructed (MOF-GOx). After loading with curcumin (Cur), Cur@MOF-GOx was further decorated with tumor-targeting hyaluronic acid (HA) to obtain Cur@MOF-GOx/HA nanozymes. GOx can catalyze glucose into H2O2 and gluconic acid, which not only leads to tumor starvation, but also provides reactants for the Fenton reaction mediated by the MOF to generate hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) for chemo-dynamic therapy. Most importantly, protective autophagy caused by tumor starvation can be over-activated by Cur to convert autophagy from pro-survival to pro-death, realizing augmented anticancer therapy efficacy. With these cascade reactions, the synergistic action of starvation, autophagy and chemo-dynamic therapy was realized. Generally, the introduction of Cur@MOF-GOx/HA into tumor cells leads to a "butterfly effect", which induces enhanced starvation therapy through subsequent autophagic cell death to completely break the self-protective mechanism of cancer cells, and generate ˙OH for chemo-dynamic therapy. Precise design allows for the use of cascade nanozymes to realize efficient cancer treatment and restrain metastasis.

Abstract
The induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) is an attractive strategy for generating in situ autologous tumor cell-based vaccines and thus has great potential in cancer prevention and personalized immunotherapy. However, the effectiveness of ICD in tumor immunotherapy has been greatly limited, mainly by low induction efficiency and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we report a new strategy for chemo-photothermal therapy-induced ICD by employing photothermal MnO2 nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) in tumor immunotherapy to overcome the low efficiency of traditional ICD inducers and the immunosuppressive TME. Specifically, we prepared photothermal bovine serum albumin (BSA)-templated MnO2 NPs (BSA/MnO2 NPs) with good aqueous dispersibility and high biocompatibility through the direct reduction of KMnO4 with BSA, and we then efficiently loaded DOX, an ICD inducer, onto the MnO2 NPs through coordination (DOX-BSA/MnO2 NPs). The DOX-BSA/MnO2 NPs achieved high photothermal conversion efficiency, highly efficient tumor targeting, TME-responsive DOX release and modulation of the hypoxic TME. Notably, a marked in vivo synergistic therapeutic effect was achieved in a triple-negative breast carcinoma-bearing mouse model by combining chemo-photothermal therapy-induced ICD with amelioration of the immunosuppressive TME. Our research highlights the great promise of modulating the TME with photothermal MnO2 nanosystems to enhance ICD-induced antitumor immunotherapy.
