Bioact Mater 2024; 38:472-485. [PMID: 38779591 PMCID: PMC11109736 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.04.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from photosensitizers exhibit great potential for repolarizing immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) toward the anti-tumor M1 phenotype, representing a promising cancer immunotherapy strategy. Nevertheless, their effectiveness in eliminating solid tumors is generally limited by the instability and inadequate TAMs-specific targeting of photosensitizers. Here, a novel core-shell integrated nano platform is proposed to achieve a coordinated strategy of repolarizing TAMs for potentiating cancer immunotherapy. Colloidal mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSN) are fabricated to encapsulate photosensitizer-Indocyanine Green (ICG) to improve their stability. Then ginseng-derived exosome (GsE) was coated on the surface of ICG/CMSN for targeting TAMs, as well as repolarizing TAMs concurrently, named ICG/CMSN@GsE. As expected, with the synergism of ICG and GsE, ICG/CMSN@GsE exhibited better stability, mild generation of ROS, favorable specificity toward M2-like macrophages, enhancing drug retention in tumors and superior TAMs repolarization potency, then exerted a potent antitumor effect. In vivo, experiment results also confirm the synergistic suppression of tumor growth accompanied by the increased presence of anti-tumor M1-like macrophages and maximal tumor damage. Taken together, by integrating the superiorities of TAMs targeting specificity and synergistic TAMs repolarization effect into a single nanoplatform, ICG/CMSN@GsE can readily serve as a safe and high-performance nanoplatform for enhanced cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is favored for its photothermal absorption capability in solar vapor generation applications. However, the photothermal conversion efficiency of current PB-based devices is limited by the material's poor dispersion. Herein, we report a method of incorporating PB in the interlayers of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) to prevent its aggregation. The dispersion is further enhanced and stabilized by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The thermal and water stability of PB is improved due to the rigid structure of LDHs and interactions between layers and anions. Elemental analysis confirms that with the increase of molar ratio of Mg/Al and the introduction of SDS, concentrations of PB are decreased accordingly. As a result, the rate of solar vapor generation is increased by 35.9% for powders containing 50 mg of equivalent PB. Of note, converting this material into a three-dimensional structure of high rebound foam further enhances solar water evaporation rate, from 0.79 kg m-2 h-1 to 0.98 kg m-2 h-1, with only 20 mg of equivalent PB, increasing the corresponding photothermal conversion efficiency from 53.8% to 66.3%.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles (NPs) and Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) can form metal-organic frameworks through the programmable coordination of ferrous ions with cyanide. PB and PBAs represent a burgeoning class of hybrid functional nano-systems with a wide-ranging application spectrum encompassing biomedicine, cancer diagnosis, and therapy. A comprehensive overview of recent advancements is crucial for gaining insights for future research. In this context, we reviewed the synthesis techniques and surface modification strategies employed to tailor the dimensions, morphology, and attributes of PB NPs. Subsequently, we explored advanced biomedical utilities of PB NPs, encompassing photoacoustic imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound (US) imaging, and multimodal imaging. In particular, the application of PB NPs-mediated photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and chemodynamic therapy to cancer treatment was reviewed. Based on the literature, we envision an evolving trajectory wherein the future of Prussian blue-driven biological applications converge into an integrated theranostic platform, seamlessly amalgamating bioimaging and cancer therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Prussian blue, an FDA-approved coordinative pigment with a centuries-long legacy, has paved the way for Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs), renowned for their remarkable biocompatibility and biosafety. These PB NPs have found their niche in biomedicine, playing crucial roles in both diagnostics and therapeutic applications. The comprehensive review goes beyond PB NP-based cancer therapy. Alongside in-depth coverage of PB NP synthesis and surface modifications, the review delves into their cutting-edge applications in the realm of biomedical imaging, encompassing techniques such as photoacoustic imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, and multimodal imaging.

Abstract
Purpose: We constructed biomimetic nanoparticles with biocompatible, tumor-targeting, laser-responsive properties for ferroptosis-induced colorectal cancer chemo-photothermal therapy, with the aim to realize double-hit ferroptosis treatment for colorectal cancer. Methods: The nanoparticles were prepared by first loading the chemotherapy drug bufotalin (CS-5) with Prussian blue (PB), then combining a hybridized erythrocyte-tumor membrane (M) with PB@CS-5 to produce PB@CS-5@M. The chemo-photothermal therapy efficiency of PB@CS-5@M was tested by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Results and conclusion: The combined PB and CS-5 act as promising ferroptosis inducers to enhance ferroptosis efficacy. The hyperthermia induced by laser stimulation can trigger PB to release CS-5 and iron and ferrous ions, which further promotes ferroptosis.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a novel cancer treatment using a photoabsorber to cause hyperthermia to kill tumors by laser irradiation. Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) are considered as next-generation photothermal agents due to the facile synthesis and excellent absorption of near-infrared light. Although PB NPs demonstrate remarkable PTT capabilities, their clinical application is limited due to their systemic toxicity. Bacterial cellulose (BC) has been applied to various bio-applications based on its unique properties and biocompatibility. Herein, we design composites with PB NPs and BC as an injectable, highly biocompatible PTT agent (IBC-PB composites). Injectable bacterial cellulose (IBC) is produced through the trituration of BC, with PB NPs synthesized on the IBC surface to prepare IBC-PB composites. IBC-PB composites show in vitro and in vivo photothermal therapeutic effects similar to those of PB NPs but with significantly greater biocompatibility. Specifically, in vitro therapeutic index of IBC-PB composites is 26.5-fold higher than that of PB NPs. Furthermore, unlike PB NPs, IBC-PB composites exhibit no overt toxicity in mice as assessed by blood biochemical analysis and histological images. Hence, it is worth pursuing further research and development of IBC-PB composites as they hold promise as safe and efficacious PTT agents for clinical application.

Abstract
Due to frequent petrochemical spills, environmental pollution and the threat of secondary marine fires have arisen, necessitating an urgent need for petrochemical spill treatment strategies with high-performance oil-water separation capabilities. To address the challenges of poor durability, instability in hydrophobic conditions, and difficulty in absorbing high-viscosity crude oil associated with hydrophobic absorbent materials, the authors of this study took inspiration from the unique micro and nanostructures of springtails' water-repellent skin. We engineered a superhydrophobic melamine sponge using interfacial assembly techniques designated as Si@PBA@PDA@MS. This material demonstrated improved mechanical and chemical durability, enhanced photothermal performance, and reduced fire risk. The metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived cobalt-iron Prussian blue analog (CoFe-PBA) was firmly anchored to the sponge framework by the chelation of cobalt ions using polydopamine (PDA). The results demonstrated that Si@PBA@PDA@MS demonstrated excellent superhydrophobicity (WCA=163.5°) and oil absorption capacity (53.4-97.5 g/g), maintaining high durability even after 20 cycles of absorption-squeezing. Additionally, it could still exhibit excellent mechanical properties, hydrophobic stability, and absorption performance across a wide temperature range (0-100 °C), pH range (1-14), and high compression strength (ε = 80%), with excellent mechanical/chemical durability. Furthermore, Si@PBA@PDA@MS demonstrated remarkable photothermal performance and low fire risk, offering efficient, safe, and sustainable practical value for effective petrochemical spill treatment.

Abstract
The widespread push to invest in local cancer therapies comes from the need to overcome the limitations of systemic treatment options. In contrast to intravenous administration, local treatments using intratumoral or peritumoral injections are independent of tumor vasculature and allow high concentrations of therapeutic agents to reach the tumor site with minimal systemic toxicity. Injectable biodegradable hydrogels offer a clear advantage over other delivery systems because the former requires no surgical procedures and promotes drug retention at the tumor site. More precisely, in situ gelling systems based on poloxamers have garnered considerable attention due to their thermoresponsive behavior, biocompatibility, ease of preparation, and possible incorporation of different anticancer agents. Therefore, this review focuses on the use of injectable thermoresponsive hydrogels based on poloxamers and their physicochemical and biological characterization. It also includes a summary of these hydrogel applications in local cancer therapies using chemotherapy, phototherapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles have been widely used in photothermal therapy research due to the efficient photothermal conversion ability. In this study, PB was modified with a bionic coating using a hybrid membrane of red blood cell membranes and tumor cell membranes to prepare bionic photothermal nanoparticles (PB/RHM), which can further improve the blood circulation ability and tumor targeting of the nanoparticles to achieve efficient photothermal therapy for tumor treatment. In vitro formulation characterization showed that PB/RHM was a monodisperse spherical core-shell structured nanoparticle with a diameter of 207.2 nm and effectively retained the cell membrane proteins. The in vivo biological evaluation results showed that PB/RHM could effectively accumulate into the tumor tissue, inducing a rapid temperature increase in the tumor site to 50.9 °C within 10 min, inhibiting tumor growth efficiently with a tumor inhibition rate of 93.56% and with good therapeutic safety. In summary, this paper provided a hybrid film-modified Prussian blue nanoparticle with efficient photothermal anti-tumor capacity and safety.

Abstract
In the past decades, diseases such as wound infection, cancer, bone defect and osteoarthritis have constantly threatened the public health. However, the traditional treatment has many insufficiencies, such as high cost, easy recurrence and high biological toxicity. Hydrogel is a material with three-dimensional network structure, which has a series of advantages, such as injectability, self-heal ability, easy loading and controllability of drug release, and excellent biocompatibility. Therefore, it is extensively used in drug delivery, antibacterial, anti-cancer and other fields. However, the traditional hydrogels have the single performance, and therapeutic efficacy is often rely on the drugs loaded on them to cure diseases, which cannot achieve sustainable therapeutic effect. In order to solve this problem, photothermal nano hydrogel with photothermal agent (PTA) has become an ideal material due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Photothermal nano hydrogels used in photothermal therapy (PTT) can exploit the photothermal effect of photothermal agent to increase local temperature and control the sol-gel phase transition behavior of hydrogels, so they are widely used in drug release, photothermal sterilization, photothermal inhibition of cancer cells and enhancement of bone repair. To sum up, this paper introduces the preparation of hydrogels with photothermal nanomaterials, and discusses their applications in the fields of drug release, photothermal sterilization, photothermal cancer cell inhibition and enhanced bone repair.

Tumor-targeted/reduction-triggered composite multifunctional nanoparticles for breast cancer chemo-photothermal combinational therapy. Acta Pharm Sin B 2022; 12:2710-2730.

Abstract
Breast cancer has become the most commonly diagnosed cancer type in the world. A combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising strategy for breast cancer therapy. However, the intricacy of precise delivery and the ability to initiate drug release in specific tumor sites remains a challenging puzzle. Therefore, to ensure that the therapeutic agents are synchronously delivered to the tumor site for their synergistic effect, a multifunctional nanoparticle system (PCRHNs) is developed, which is grafted onto the prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) by reduction-responsive camptothecin (CPT) prodrug copolymer, and then modified with tumor-targeting peptide cyclo(Asp-d-Phe-Lys-Arg-Gly) (cRGD) and hyaluronic acid (HA). PCRHNs exhibited nano-sized structure with good monodispersity, high load efficiency of CPT, triggered CPT release in response to reduction environment, and excellent photothermal conversion under laser irradiation. Furthermore, PCRHNs can act as a photoacoustic imaging contrast agent-guided PTT. In vivo studies indicate that PCRHNs exhibited excellent biocompatibility, prolonged blood circulation, enhanced tumor accumulation, allow tumor-specific chemo-photothermal therapy to achieve synergistic antitumor effects with reduced systemic toxicity. Moreover, hyperthermia-induced upregulation of heat shock protein 70 in the tumor cells could be inhibited by CPT. Collectively, PCRHNs may be a promising therapeutic way for breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanomaterials' unique structures at the nanometer level determine their incredible functions, and based on this, they can be widely used in the field of nanomedicine. However, nanomaterials do possess disadvantages that cannot be ignored, such as burst release, rapid elimination, and poor bioadhesion. Hydrogels are scaffolds with three‐dimensional structures, and they exhibit good biocompatibility and drug release capacity. Hydrogels are also associated with disadvantages for biomedical applications such as poor anti‐tumor capability, weak bioimaging capability, limited responsiveness, and so on. Incorporating nanomaterials into the 3D hydrogel network through physical or chemical covalent action may be an effective method to avoid their disadvantages. In nanocomposite hydrogel systems, multifunctional nanomaterials often work as the function core, giving the hydrogels a variety of properties (such as photo‐thermal conversion, magnetothermal conversion, conductivity, targeting tumor, etc.). While, hydrogels can effectively improve the retention effect of nanomaterials and make the nanoparticles have good plasticity to adapt to various biomedical applications (such as various biosensors). Nanocomposite hydrogel systems have broad application prospects in biomedicine. In this review, we comprehensively summarize and discuss the most recent advances of nanomaterials composite hydrogels in biomedicine, including drug and cell delivery, cancer treatment, tissue regeneration, biosensing, and bioimaging, and we also briefly discussed the current situation of their commoditization in biomedicine.

Abstract
Recently, organic–inorganic hybrid materials have gained much attention as effective photothermal agents for cancer treatment. In this study, Pluronic F127 hydrogel-coated titanium carbide (Ti3C2) nanoparticles were utilized as an injectable photothermal agent. The advantages of these nanoparticles are their green synthesis and excellent photothermal efficiency. In this system, lasers were mainly used to irradiate Ti3C2 nanoparticles to produce a constant high temperature, which damaged cancer cells. The nanoparticles were found to be stable during storage at low temperatures for at least 2 weeks. The Ti3C2 nanoparticles exhibited a shuttle-shaped structure, and the hydrogels presented a loosely meshed structure. In addition, Ti3C2 nanoparticles did not affect the reversible temperature sensitivity of the gel, and the hydrogel did not affect the photothermal properties of Ti3C2 nanoparticles. The in vitro and in vivo results show that this hydrogel system can effectively inhibit tumor growth upon exposure to near-infrared irradiation with excellent biocompatibility and biosafety. The photothermal agent-embedded hydrogel is a promising photothermal therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment by enhancing the retention in vivo and elevating the local temperature in tumors.

Abstract
Metastasis is one of the predisposing factors for cancer-related mortalities worldwide. Patients with advanced cancers (stage IV) receive palliative care with minimal possibility of achieving complete remission. Antibody-based therapeutic modalities are capable of targeting tumors that are confined to a particular location but are ineffective in targeting distant secondary tumors. In the current study, we have developed a smart nano-transforming hydrogel (NTG) that transforms in situ to polymeric nanoparticles (PA NPs) of 100-150 nm when injected subcutaneously. These nanoparticles targeted the primary and secondary metastatic tumors for up to ∼5 and ∼3 days, respectively. The in situ-formed PA NPs also demonstrated a pH-responsive drug release resulting in about ∼80% release within 100 h at 5.8 pH. When tested in vivo, substantial inhibition of lung metastases was observed compared to chemotherapy, thus demonstrating the efficiency of nanotransforming hydrogels in targeting and inhibiting primary and secondary metastatic tumors.

Abstract
Joint diseases that mainly lead to articular cartilage injury with prolonged severe pain as well as dysfunction have remained unexplained for many years. One of the main reasons is that damaged articular cartilage is unable to repair and regenerate by itself. Furthermore, current therapy, including drug therapy and operative treatment, cannot solve the problem. Fortunately, the micro-/nanoparticle hybrid hydrogel platform provides a new strategy for the treatment of articular cartilage-related diseases, owing to its outstanding biocompatibility, high loading capability, and controlled release effect. The hybrid platform is effective for controlling symptoms of pain, inflammation and dysfunction, and cartilage repair and regeneration. In this review, we attempt to summarize recent studies on the latest development of micro-/nanoparticle hybrid hydrogel for the treatment of articular cartilage-related diseases. Furthermore, some prospects are proposed, aiming to improve the properties of the micro-/nanoparticle hybrid hydrogel platform so as to offer useful new ideas for the effective and accurate treatment of articular cartilage-related diseases.

Abstract
Hypoxia in local tumors leads to the failure or resistance of radiotherapy (RT) and high-dose RT will cause systemic reactions and local radiation damage. As a non-chemotherapeutic intervention, photothermal therapy (PTT) can remove tumor tissues through thermal ablation as well as effectively improve the microenvironment of hypoxic cells. Therefore, the combined use of PTT and RT (thermoradiotherapy) has urgently become an efficient treatment. In this work, by encapsulating prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles in agarose hydrogel, we developed an injectable hybrid light-controlled hydrogel system as a PB reservoir and release controller (PRC) which can realize single injection and multiple treatments in vivo. Under the irradiation of 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser, PB nanoparticles convert laser energy into heat energy, causing degradation of agarose hydrogel and the release of PB nanoparticles. Due to the excellent photothermal properties of PB, photothermal treatment in the NIR Biological Windows can greatly enhance the sensitivity of tumor cells to RT. Meanwhile, PB nanoparticles can also be a nanozyme to drive the decomposition of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and then generate oxygen (O2) to improve the tumor hypoxic microenvironment, achieving the further enhancement of the radiation sensitivity. Notably, this study is the first design to utilize hydrogel for thermoradiotherapy. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments, the PRC demonstrated excellent effects of PTT-RT, good stability and biocompatibility, indicating our nanoplatform promote the development of anti-cancer combination thermoradiotherapy with greater clinical significance.

Abstract
Hydrogel is a kind of 3D polymer network with strong swelling ability in water and appropriate mechanical and biological properties, which make it feasible to maintain bioactive substances and has promising applications in the fields of biomaterials, soft machines, and artificial tissues. Unfortunately, traditional hydrogels prepared by chemical crosslinking have poor mechanical properties and limited functions, which limit their further application. In recent years, with the continuous development of nanoparticle research, more and more studies have combined nanoparticles with hydrogels to make up for the shortcomings of traditional hydrogels. In this article, the types and functions of hydrogels and nanomaterials are introduced first, as well as the functions and applications of injectable nanocomposite hydrogels (INHs), then the latest progress of INHs for cancer treatment is reviewed, some existing problems are summarized, and the application prospect of NHs is prospected.

Abstract
The locoregional recurrence of breast cancer after tumor resection represents several clinical challenges, and conventional post-surgical adjuvant therapeutics always bring about significant systemic side effects. Thus, the local therapy strategy has received considerable interest in breast cancer treatment, and hydrogels can function as ideal platforms due to their remarkable properties such as good biocompatibility, biodegradability, flexibility, and multifunctionality. The nano-hydrogel composites can further incorporate the advantages of nanomaterials into the hydrogel system, to fabricate hierarchical structures for stimulating controlled multi-stage release of different therapeutic agents and improving the synergistic effects of combination therapy. In this review, the problems of clinical treatments of breast cancer and properties of hydrogels in current biomedical applications are briefly overviewed. The focus is on recent advances in local therapy based on nano-hydrogel composites for both monotherapy (chemotherapy, photothermal and photodynamic therapy) and combination therapy (dual chemotherapy, photothermal chemotherapy, photothermal immunotherapy, radio-chemotherapy). Moreover, the challenges and perspectives in the development of advanced nano-hydrogel systems are also discussed.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a serious impediment to current treatments of many malignant tumors. Catalase, an antioxidant enzyme, is capable of decomposing endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into oxygen for tumor reoxygenation, but suffered from in vivo instability and limited delivery to deep interior hypoxic regions in tumor. Herein, a deep-penetrated nanocatalase-loading DiIC18 (5, DiD) and soravtansine (Cat@PDS) were provided by coating catalase nanoparticles with PEGylated phospholipids membrane, stimulating the structure and function of erythrocytes to relieve tumor hypoxia for enhanced chemo-photodynamic therapy. After intravenous administration, Cat@PDS preferentially accumulated at tumor sites, flexibly penetrated into the interior regions of tumor mass and remarkably relieved the hypoxic status in tumor. Notably, the Cat@PDS + laser treatment produced striking inhibition of tumor growth and resulted in a 97.2% suppression of lung metastasis. Thus, the phospholipids membrane-coated nanocatalase system represents an encouraging nanoplatform to relieve tumor hypoxia and synergize the chemo-photodynamic cancer therapy.

Polarization and function of tumor-associated macrophages mediate graphene oxide-induced photothermal cancer therapy. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2020; 208:111913.

Abstract
Polarization status of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) plays an essential role in tumor growth and invasion. However, emerging treatment like photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT) paid little attention on TAMs. In recent years, photothermal therapy (PTT) has gained immense attention in the anti-tumor strategy field while the effect of PTT on macrophage polarization in a tumor microenvironment has rarely been reported. Here, we used graphene oxide (GO) combined with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the photothermal material to induce heating effect in macrophages to define its anti-tumor effect in vitro and in vivo. Firstly, we treated the macrophage cell line RAW264.7 with near infrared (NIR) light irradiation and detected their polarization status by flow cytometric and mRNA expression analysis. Following this, we analyzed the migration and invasion ability of an osteosarcoma HOS cell line cultured in a conditioned medium (CM) that contains cytokine generated by macrophages with or without NIR treatment. Finally, we investigated the in vivo effects of NIR-induced macrophage polarization on osteosarcoma growth and invasion. GO-PEG (GP) showed great photothermal effect, thermal stability, and biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. Photothermal materials can alleviate interleukin-4-induced M2 polarization of macrophages and modulate their anti-tumor capability. Thus, the migration and invasion capabilities of HOS cells were weakened, leading to an anti-tumor effect in a mouse subcutaneous tumor model. In conclusion, our study identified PTT treatment as an approach for preventing osteosarcoma invasion by inhibition of M2 polarization.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Intolerable toxicity and unsatisfactory therapeutic effects are still big problems retarding the use of chemotherapy against cancer. Nano-drug delivery system promised a lot in increasing the patients' compliance and therapeutic efficacy. As a unique nano-carrier, supermolecular aggregation nanovehicle has attracted increasing interests due to the following advantages: announcing drug loading efficacy, pronouncing in vivo performance and simplified production process. METHODS In this study, the supermolecular aggregation nanovehicle of bortezomib (BTZ) was prepared to treat breast cancer. RESULTS Although many supermolecular nanovehicles are inclined to disintegrate due to the weak intermolecular interactions among the components, the BTZ supermolecules are satisfying stable. To shed light on the reasons behind this, the forces driving the formation of the nanovehicles were detailed investigated. In other words, the interactions among BTZ and other two components were studied to characterize the nanovehicles and ensure its stability. CONCLUSIONS Due to the promising tumor targeting ability of the BTZ nanovehicles, the supermolecule displayed promising tumor curing effects and negligible systemic toxicity.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a typical feature of solid tumors, which highly limits the application of the oxygen-dependent therapy. Also, the dense and hyperbaric tumor tissues impede the penetration of nanoparticles into the deep tumor. Thereby, we designed a novel localized injectable hydrogel combining the photothermal therapy (PTT) and the thermodynamic therapy (TDT), which is based on the generation of free radicals even in the absence of oxygen for hypoxic tumor therapy. In our study, gold nanorods (AuNRs) and 2,2'-Azobis[2-(2-imidazalin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochlaride (AIPH) were incorporated into the hydrogel networks, which were formed by the copolymerization of hydrophobic N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) and hydrophilic glycidyl methacrylate modified hyaluronic acid (HA-GMA) to fabricate an injectable and near-infrared (NIR) responsive hydrogel. The crosslinked in situ forming hydrogel could not only realize PTT upon the NIR laser irradiation, but also generate free radicals even in hypoxic condition. Meanwhile the shrink of hydrogels upon thermal could accelerate the generation of free radicals to further damage the tumors, achieving the controlled drug release on demand. The designed hydrogel with a sufficient loading capacity, excellent biocompatibility and negligible systemic toxicity could serve as a long-acting implant for NIR-triggered thermo-responsive free radical generation. The in vitro cytotoxicity result and the in vivo antitumor activity illustrated the excellent therapeutic effect of hydrogels even in the absence of oxygen. Therefore, this innovative oxygen-independent platform combining the antitumor effects of PTT and TDT would bring a new insight into hypoxic tumor therapy by the application of alkyl free radical.
