Abstract
Natural polyphenolic compound rosmarinic acid (RA) has good antitumor activity. However, the distinctive tumor microenvironment, characterized by low pH and elevated levels of glutathione (GSH), enhances the tolerance of tumors to the singular anti-tumor treatment mode using RA, resulting in unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy. Targeting nonapoptotic programmed cell death processes may provide another impetus to inhibit tumor growth. RA possesses the capability to coordinate with metal elements. To solve the effect restriction of the above single treatment mode, it is proposed to construct a self-assembled nanocomposite, Fe-RA. Under tumor microenvironment, Fe-RA nanocomposite exerts the characteristics of POD-like enzyme activity and depletion of GSH, producing a large amount of hydroxyl radical (·OH) while disrupting the antioxidant defense system of tumor cells. Moreover, due to the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR), Fe-RA can transport Fe2+ to a greater extent to tumor cells and increase intracellular iron content. Causing an imbalance in iron metabolism in tumor cells and promoting cell ferroptosis. The results of the synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) prove the successful complexation of Fe-RA nanocomposite. Density functional theory (DFT) explains the efficient catalytic mechanism of its peroxide-like enzyme activity and the reaction principle with GSH.

Abstract
The cell elimination strategy based on reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a promising method for tumor therapy. However, its efficacy is significantly limited by ROS deficiency caused by H2 O2 substrate deficiency and up-regulation of cellular antioxidant defense induced by high glutathione (GSH) content in tumor cells. To overcome these obstacles, a multifunctional self-cascaded nanocomposite: glucose oxidase (GOX) loaded NaYF4 :Yb/Er@Mn3 O4 (UC@Mn3 O4 , labeled as UCMn) is constructed. Only in tumor microenvironment, it can be specifically activated through a series of cascades to boost ROS production via a strategy of open source (H2 O2 self-supplying ability). The increased ROS can enhance lipid peroxidation and induce tumor cell apoptosis by activating the protein caspase. More importantly, the nanozyme can consume GSH to inhibit glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity, which limits tumor cell resistance to oxidative damage and triggers the tumor cell ferroptosis. Therefore, this strategy is expected to overcome the resistance of tumor to oxidative damage and achieve efficient oxidative damage of tumor. Further, degradation of the Mn3 O4 layer induced by GSH and acidic environment can promote the fluorescence recovery of UC fluorescent nuclear for tumor imaging to complete efficient integration of diagnosis and treatment for tumor.

Abstract
Ferroptosis has recently attracted much attention as an anti-tumor therapy. Evidence suggests that ferroptosis can induce oxidative stress and accumulation of lethal lipid peroxides in cancer cells, leading to cell damage. However, unsuitable pH, H2 O2 levels, and high glutathione (GSH) expression in the tumor microenvironment hinder the development of ferroptosis-mediated therapy. In this study, an l-arginine (l-arg)-modified CoWO4 /FeWO4 (CFW) S-scheme heterojunction is strategically designed and constructed for ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic- and gas therapy-induced ferroptosis. CFW not only has excellent Fenton-catalytic activity, outstanding GSH consumption capacity, and excellent ability to overcome tumor hypoxia, but its S-scheme heterostructure can also avoid the rapid combination of electron (e) and hole (h+ ) pairs, thereby enhancing the sonodynamic effects. As a precursor of nitric oxide (NO), l-arg is modified on the surface of CFW (CFW@l-arg) to achieve controlled NO release under US irradiation, thereby enhancing ferroptosis. In addition, poly(allylamine hydrochloride) is further modified on the surface of CFW@l-arg to stabilize l-arg and achieve controllable NO release. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that such a multifunctional therapeutic nanoplatform can achieve high therapeutic efficacy through sonodynamic and gas therapy-enhanced ferroptosis. This designed oncotherapy nanoplatform provides new inspiration for ferroptosis-mediated therapy.

Abstract
Despite the therapeutic response of ferroptosis in various tumors, ferroptosis resistance has been found in numerous studies, significantly hindering the progress of ferroptosis anti-tumor therapy. Herein, we propose a metal-rich cascade nanosystem (Simvastatin-HMPB-Mn@GOx) combined with the dual-pathway regulation of ferroptosis resistance and photothermal therapy for efficient tumor combination therapy. The manganese-bonded hollow mesoporous Prussian blue (HMPB-Mn) serves as the photothermal agent and metal donor, and dissociates multivalent metal ions Mn2+, Fe3+ and Fe2+ to consume glutathione and amplify the Fenton reaction. Glucose oxidase (GOx) absorbed serves as the converter to provide hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for the cascade Fenton reaction, causing a high burst of hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) and lipid peroxidation. Simvastatin innovatively acts as a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) inhibitor to decrease the expression of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), eventually defeating ferroptosis resistance. The nanosystem acted in both classical and non-classical ferroptosis pathways and showed significant ferroptosis- and hyperthermia-induced anti-tumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, this study offers a promising way for ferroptosis and phototherapy to achieve complete tumor regression.

Abstract
Malignant tumours are a serious threat to human health. Traditional chemotherapy has achieved breakthrough improvements but also has significant detrimental effects, such as the development of drug resistance, immunosuppression, and even systemic toxicity. Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an emerging cancer therapy. Under light irradiation, the phototherapeutic agent converts optical energy into thermal energy and induces the hyperthermic death of target cells. To date, numerous photothermal agents have been developed. Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles are among the most promising photothermal agents due to their excellent physicochemical properties, including photoacoustic and magnetic resonance imaging properties, photothermal conversion performance, and enzyme-like activity. By the construction of suitably designed PB-based nanotherapeutics, enhanced photothermal performance, targeting ability, multimodal therapy, and imaging-guided cancer therapy can be effectively and feasibly achieved. In this review, the recent advances in PB-based photothermal combinatorial therapy and imaging-guided cancer therapy are comprehensively summarized. Finally, the potential obstacles of future research and clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
Apoptosis-based treatment plays an important role in regulating the death of tumor cells (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy). Nevertheless, cancer cells can escape surveillance from apoptosis-associated signaling by bypassing other biological pathways and thus result in considerable resistance to therapies. Significantly, ferroptosis, a newly identified type of regulated cell death that is characterized by iron-dependent and lipid peroxidation accumulation, has aroused great research interest in cancer therapy. Increasing approaches have been developed to induce ferroptosis of tumor cells, including using clinically approved drugs, experimentally used compounds, and nanomedicine formulations. More importantly, the emerging nanomedicine-based strategy has made great advances in tumor treatment because of the promising targeting efficacy and enhanced therapeutic effects. In this review, we mainly overview state-of-the-art research on nanomedicine-mediated ferroptosis targeting strategies for synergistic cancer therapies, such as immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and photothermal therapy. The potential targeting mechanism of nanomedicine for ferroptosis induction was also included. Finally, the future development of nanomedicine in the field of ferroptosis-based cell death in tumor treatment will be envisioned, aiming to provide new insight for tumor treatment in the clinic.

Abstract
Until now, treatment of refractory tumors and uncontrolled metastasis by cancer immunotherapy has not yet achieved satisfactory therapeutic results due to the insufficient in vivo immune response. Here, we proposed the construction of a therapeutic cancer nanovaccine Fe@OVA-IR820 with ferroptosis-inducing and photothermal properties for boosting cancer immunotherapy. Fe3+ ions were chelated inside the exogenous antigen ovalbumin (OVA) by biomineralization to form the nanovaccine, to which the photosensitizer IR820 was loaded by electrostatic incorporation. After intratumoral injection, in situ immunogenic cell death (ICD) was triggered as a result of Fe3+-dependent ferroptosis. Endogenous neoantigens and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) were released because of ICD and worked synergically with the exogenous OVA to provoke the immune response, which was further amplified by the photothermal effect after near-infrared irradiation. The enhanced recruitment and infiltration of T cells were observed and resulted in the suppression of the primary tumor. The therapeutic regiment that combined Fe@OVA-IR820 nanovaccine with cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) checkpoint blockade significantly boosted anti-cancer immunity and inhibited the growth of distal simulated metastases. Therefore, we proposed Fe@OVA-IR820 nanovaccine combined checkpoint blockade as a potential therapeutic strategy for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Cancers are among the leading causes of death currently. Conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy are of limited use in the treatment of some tumors due to their high toxicity and drug resistance. Plasma photothermal therapy has attracted extensive attention for the treatment of tumors due to photothermal properties of plasmonic nanoparticles, such as gold (Au) nanoparticles, to achieve local hyperthermia with low toxicity and high efficiency. Herein, we report a kind of special black noble-metal core-shell nanostructure, with silver (Ag) nanocubes as the core and amino acid-encoded highly branched Au nanorods as the shells (l-CAg@Au and d-CAg@Au). The proposed growth of l-CAg@Au and d-CAg@Au nanocomposites was an amino acid-encoded Stranski-Krastanov mode. Both l-CAg@Au and d-CAg@Au exhibited outstanding photothermal conversion compared to the core-shell structure without amino acids (Ag@Au). d-CAg@Au possessed the best photothermal conversion efficiency (87.28%) among the composite nanoparticles. The antitumor therapeutic efficacy of as-prepared samples was evaluated in vitro and in vivo, and apoptosis analysis was done via flow cytometry. This work reports novel insights for the preparation of special bimetallic branched structures and broadens the application of metal nanomaterials in photothermal tumor therapy.

Abstract
With the booming development of nanomedicine, mild photothermal therapy (mPTT, 42-45°C) has exhibited promising potential in tumor therapy. Compared with traditional PTT (>50°C), mPTT has less side effects and better biological effects conducive to tumor treatment, such as loosening the dense structure in tumor tissues, enhancing blood perfusion, and improving the immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, such a relatively low temperature cannot allow mPTT to completely eradicate tumors, and therefore, substantial efforts have been conducted to optimize the application of mPTT in tumor therapy. This review extensively summarizes the latest advances of mPTT, including two sections: (1) taking mPTT as a leading role to maximize its effect by blocking the cell defense mechanisms, and (2) regarding mPTT as a supporting role to assist other therapies to achieve synergistic antitumor curative effect. Meanwhile, the special characteristics and imaging capabilities of nanoplatforms applied in various therapies are discussed. At last, this paper puts forward the bottlenecks and challenges in the current research path of mPTT, and possible solutions and research directions in future are proposed correspondingly.

Abstract
Over the past decade, iron (Fe)-based hollow nanoplatforms (Fe-HNPs) have attracted increasing attention for cancer theranostics, due to their high safety and superior diagnostic/therapeutic features. Specifically, Fe-involved components can serve as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) and Fenton-like/photothermal/magnetic hyperthermia (MTH) therapy agents, while the cavities are able to load various small molecules (e.g., fluorescent dyes, chemotherapeutic drugs, photosensitizers, etc.) to allow multifunctional all-in-one theranostics. In this review, the recent advances of Fe-HNPs for cancer imaging and treatment are summarized. Firstly, the use of Fe-HNPs in single T1-weighted MRI and T2-weighted MRI, T1-/T2-weighted dual-modal MRI as well as other dual-modal imaging modalities are presented. Secondly, diverse Fe-HNPs, including hollow iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles (NPs), hollow matrix-supported IO NPs, hollow Fe-complex NPs and hollow Prussian blue (PB) NPs are described for MRI-guided therapies. Lastly, the potential clinical obstacles and implications for future research of these hollow Fe-based nanotheranostics are discussed.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, characterized by iron-dependent lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, is non-apoptotic programmed cell death highly relevant to tumor development. It was found to manipulate oncogenes and resistant mutations of cancer cells via lipid metabolism pathways converging on phospholipid glutathione peroxidase (GPX4) that squanders lipid peroxides (L-OOH) to block the iron-mediated reactions of peroxides, thus rendering resistant cancer cells vulnerable to ferroptotic cell death. By accumulating ROS and lipid peroxidation (LPO) products to lethal levels in tumor microenvironment (TME), ferroptosis-driven nanotherapeutics show a superior ability of eradicating aggressive malignancies than traditional therapeutic modalities, especially for the drug-resistant tumors with high metastasis tendency. Moreover, Fenton reaction, inhibition of GPX-4, and exogenous regulation of LPO are three major therapeutic strategies to induce ferroptosis in cancer cells, which were generally applied in ferroptosis-driven nanotherapeutics. In this review, we elaborate current trends of ferroptosis-driven nanotherapeutics to reverse drug resistance of tumors in anticancer fields at the intersection of cancer biology, materials science, and chemistry. Finally, their challenges and perspectives toward feasible translational studies are spotlighted, which would ignite the hope of anti-resistant cancer treatment.
