[PMID: 38247736 PMCID: PMC10815212 DOI: 10.3390/gels10010013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are under consideration for their use as bioimaging probes with enhanced optical performance for real time follow-up under non-invasive conditions. Photostable and core-shell NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+-SiO2 UCNPs obtained by a novel and simple co-precipitation method from lanthanide nitrates or oxides were herein synthesized for the first time. The sol-gel Stöber method followed by oven or supercritical gel drying was used to confer biocompatible surface properties to UCNPs by the formation of an ultrathin silica coating. Upconversion (UC) spectra were studied to evaluate the fluorescence of UCNPs upon red/near infrared (NIR) irradiation. ζ-potential measurements, TEM analyses, XRD patterns and long-term physicochemical stability were also assessed and confirmed that the UCNPs co-precipitation synthesis is a shape- and phase-controlling approach. The bio- and hemocompatibility of the UCNPs formulation with the highest fluorescence intensity was evaluated with murine fibroblasts and human blood, respectively, and provided excellent results that endorse the efficacy of the silica gel coating. The herein synthesized UCNPs can be regarded as efficient fluorescent probes for bioimaging purposes with the high luminescence, physicochemical stability and biocompatibility required for biomedical applications.

Synthesis of lenvatinib-loaded upconversion@polydopamine nanocomposites for upconversion luminescence imaging-guided chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy of anaplastic thyroid cancer. RSC Adv 2023; 13:26925-26932.

Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is the most malignant and aggressive of all classifications of thyroid cancer. ATC normally has poor prognosis after classic treatments such as surgery, endocrine therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Herein, a novel nanocomposite (named as UCNP@PDA@LEN) has been synthesized for chemo-photothermal therapy of ATC, which is based on a NaErF4:Tm3+@NaYbF4@NaYF4:Nd3+ upconverting nanoparticle (UCNP) as the core, a near-infrared light (NIR)-absorbing polydopamine (PDA) as the shell, and lenvatinib (LEN) as a chemotherapeutic drug. The as-prepared multifunctional UCNP@PDA@LEN exhibits excellent photothermal conversion capability (η = 30.7%), good photothermal stability and reasonable biocompatibility. Owing to the high UCL emission and good tumor accumulation ability, the UCL imaging of mouse-bearing ATC (i.e., C643 tumor) has been achieved by UCNP@PDA@LEN. Under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation, the UCNP@PDA@LEN shows a synergistic interaction between photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy (CT), resulting in strongly suppressed mouse-bearing C643 tumor. The results provide an explicit approach for developing theranostics with high anti-ATC efficiency.

Upconversion Nanoparticles Intercalated in Large Polymer Micelles for Tumor Imaging and Chemo/Photothermal Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:10574. [PMID: 37445751 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241310574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Frontiers in theranostics are driving the demand for multifunctional nanoagents. Upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)-based systems activated by near-infrared (NIR) light deeply penetrating biotissue are a powerful tool for the simultaneous diagnosis and therapy of cancer. The intercalation into large polymer micelles of poly(maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene) provided the creation of biocompatible UCNPs. The intrinsic properties of UCNPs (core@shell structure NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+@NaYF4) embedded in micelles delivered NIR-to-NIR visualization, photothermal therapy, and high drug capacity. Further surface modification of micelles with a thermosensitive polymer (poly-N-vinylcaprolactam) exhibiting a conformation transition provided gradual drug (doxorubicin) release. In addition, the decoration of UCNP micelles with Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) synthesized in situ by silver ion reduction enhanced the cytotoxicity of micelles at cell growth temperature. Cell viability assessment on Sk-Br-3, MDA-MB-231, and WI-26 cell lines confirmed this effect. The efficiency of the prepared UCNP complex was evaluated in vivo by Sk-Br-3 xenograft regression in mice for 25 days after peritumoral injection and photoactivation of the lesions with NIR light. The designed polymer micelles hold promise as a photoactivated theranostic agent with quattro-functionalities (NIR absorption, photothermal effect, Ag NP cytotoxicity, and Dox loading) that provides imaging along with chemo- and photothermal therapy enhanced with Ag NPs.

Lanthanide vanadate-based trimodal probes for near-infrared luminescent bioimaging, high-field magnetic resonance imaging, and X-ray computed tomography. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 646:721-731.

Abstract
We have developed a trimodal bioimaging probe for near-infrared luminescent imaging, high-field magnetic resonance imaging, and X-ray computed tomography using Dy3+ as the paramagnetic component and Nd3+ as the luminescent cation, both of them incorporated in a vanadate matrix. Among different essayed architectures (single phase and core-shell nanoparticles) the one showing the best luminescent properties is that consisting of uniform DyVO4 nanoparticles coated with a first uniform layer of LaVO4 and a second layer of Nd3+-doped LaVO4. The magnetic relaxivity (r2) at high field (9.4 T) of these nanoparticles was among the highest values ever reported for this kind of probes and their X-ray attenuation properties, due to the presence of lanthanide cations, were also better than those of a commercial contrast agent (iohexol) commonly used for X-ray computed tomography. In addition, they were chemically stable in a physiological medium in which they could be easily dispersed owing to their one-pot functionalization with polyacrylic acid, and, finally, they were non-toxic for human fibroblast cells. Such a probe is, therefore, an excellent multimodal contrast agent for near-infrared luminescent imaging, high-field magnetic resonance imaging, and X-ray computed tomography.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP NPs) are host materials and can be modified with various substrates and dopants. Among them, rare earth (RE) ions doped HAP NPs have gathered attention due to their unique physicochemical and imaging properties. Compared to other fluorescence probes, RE-doped HAP NPs display advantages in high brightness, high contrast, photostability, nonblinking, and narrow emission bands. Meanwhile, their intrinsic features (composition, morphology, size, crystallinity, and luminescence intensity) can be adjusted by changing the dopant ratio, synthesizing temperature, reaction time, and techniques. And they have been used in various biomedical applications, including imaging probe, drug delivery, bone tissue engineering, and antibacterial studies. This review surveys the luminescent properties, fluorescence enhancement, synthetic methods, and biocompatibility of various RE-doped HAP NPs consolidated from different research works, for their employments in biomedical applications. For this literature review, an electronic search was conducted in the Pubmed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus and SciFinder databases, using the keywords: hydroxyapatite, rare earth, lanthanide, fluorescence, and imaging. Literature searches of English-language publications from 1979 with updates through April, 2022, and a total of 472 potential papers were identified. In addition, a few references were located by noting their citation in other studies reviewed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP NPs) have a broad range of promising biological applications. Although prospective biomedical applications are not limited to rare earth-doped hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (RE-doped HAP NPs), some cases do make use of the distinctive features of RE-elements to achieve the expected functions for HAP families. This review surveys the luminescent properties, synthetic methods, and biocompatibility of various RE-doped HAP NPs consolidated from different research works, for their employments in biomedical applications, including imaging probe, drug delivery, bone tissue repair and tracking, and anti-bacteria. Overall, we expect to shed some light on broadening the research and application of RE-doped HAP NPs in biomedical field.

Abstract
Multiphoton upconversion that can convert near-infrared irradiation into ultraviolet emission offers many unique opportunities for photocatalysis and phototherapy. However, the high-lying excited states of lanthanide emitters are often quenched by the interior lattice defects and deleterious interactions among different lanthanides, resulting in weak ultraviolet emission. Here, we describe a novel excitation energy lock-in approach to boost ultraviolet upconversion emission in a new class of multilayer core-shell nanoparticles with a gadolinium-rich core domain. Remarkably, we observe more than 70-fold enhancements in Gd 3+ emission from the designed nanoparticles compared with the conventional nanoparticles. Our mechanistic investigation reveals that the combination of energy migration over the core domain and optically inert NaYF 4 interlayer can effectively confine the excitation energy and thus lead to intense multiphoton ultraviolet emission in upconversion nanostructures. We further achieve a 35.6% increase in photocatalytic reactivity and 26.5% in reactive oxygen species production yield in ZnO-coated upconversion nanocomposites under 808-nm excitation. This study provides a new insight to energy transfer mechanism in lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, and offers an exciting avenue for exploring novel near-infrared photocatalysts.

Abstract
BaY2F8 nanoparticles (NPs), doped with Yb3+ and Er3+ ions, were successfully produced by high-energy ball-milling. High-quality monoclinic single crystals (sp. gr. C2/m, a = 0.6969(3), b = 1.0502(1), c = 0.4254(1) nm, β = 99.676°) grown from the melt by the Bridgman technique were used as raw materials. The prepared nanocrystals were comprehensively studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and optical spectroscopy. The fabrication possibility of single-phase irregular shaped Ba(Y0.964Yb0.030Er0.006)2F8 NPs in the size range of 20–100 nm with a milling duration of 10 h at 600 rpm is demonstrated. Ba(Y0.964Yb0.030Er0.006)2F8 NPs show intense luminescence by both up- (λ = 540 and 650 nm) and down-conversion (λ = 1540 nm) mechanisms upon IR excitation (λ = 980 nm). A qualitative comparison of the spectroscopic characteristics of the produced Ba(Y0.964Yb0.030Er0.006)2F8 NPs with the initial bulk crystal and the widely used up-conversion β-Na1.5(Y1.17Yb0.3Er0.03)F6 NPs is presented. Experimental data offer great opportunities of the Ba(Y0.964Yb0.030Er0.006)2F8 NPs applications in nanophotonics and biotechnology. High-energy ball-milling has potential as a versatile method for the scalable production of fluoride nanoparticles.

Abstract
This paper discusses the structure, particle morphology, and optical properties of un-doped ZnO and ZnO doped with Er3+ and Yb3+ lanthanide ion nanoparticles (NPs) through a process denominated sol-gel-hydrothermal. According to the pattern of X-ray diffraction, ZnO:Er and ZnO:Yb is formed by a single-phase wurtzite structure with crystallites sized ~65 nm on average, and Er or Yb dopant ions in the hexagonal structure of ZnO, specifically in its distorted lattice sites. The results also suggest the possible role of oxygen vacancies or Ox- (defects) in the energy transfer from ZnO to the Er or Yb ions with a decrease of 3.18 eV and 3.19 eV in bandgap values to a red shift.

Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) necklace-like assembly of inorganic nanoparticles exhibits unique collective properties, which are critical to open up new and remarkable opportunities in the field of nanotechnology. This review focuses on the recent advances in the production of these types of assemblies employing two strategies: colloidal synthesis and self-assembly procedures. After a brief description of the forces guiding nanoparticles towards the assembly, the main features of both strategies are discussed. Examples of approaches, typically involved in colloidal synthesis, are highlighted. The peculiar properties of 1D nanostructures are strictly associated with the nanoparticle arrangement in the form of highly ordered assemblies, which are attained during the synthesis both in the solution and using a template, as well as under the action of an external force. The various 1D necklace-like structures, created through nanoparticle self-assembly, demonstrate aligned, oriented nanoparticle organization. Diverse nature, size and shape of preformed particles as building blocks, along with utilizing different linkers, templates or external field lead to fabrication of 1D chain nanostructures with properties responsible for their wide applications. The unique structure-property relationship, both in colloidal synthesis, and self-assembly, offers broad spectrum of 1D necklace-like nanostructure implementations, illustrated by their use in photonics, electronics, electrocatalysis, magnetics.

Abstract
Foodborne diseases have become a significant threat to public health worldwide. Development of analytical techniques that enable fast and accurate detection of foodborne pathogens is significant for food science and safety research. Assays based on lanthanide (Ln) ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) show up as a cutting edge platform in biomedical fields because of the superior physicochemical features of UCNPs, including negligible autofluorescence, large signal-to-noise ratio, minimum photodamage to biological samples, high penetration depth, and attractive optical and chemical features. In recent decades, this novel and promising technology has been gradually introduced to food safety research. Herein, we have reviewed the recent progress of Ln3+-doped UCNPs in food safety research with emphasis on the following aspects: 1) the upconversion mechanism and detection principles; 2) the history of UCNPs development in analytical chemistry; 3) the in-depth state-of-the-art synthesis strategies, including synthesis protocols for UCNPs, luminescence, structure, morphology, and surface engineering; 4) applications of UCNPs in foodborne pathogens detection, including mycotoxins, heavy metal ions, pesticide residue, antibiotics, estrogen residue, and pathogenic bacteria; and 5) the challenging and future perspectives of using UCNPs in food safety research. Considering the diversity and complexity of the foodborne harmful substances, developing novel detections and quantification techniques and the rigorous investigations about the effect of the harmful substances on human health should be accelerated.

Controlled Formation of a Protein Corona Composed of Denatured BSA on Upconversion Nanoparticles Improves Their Colloidal Stability. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14071657.

Abstract
In the natural fluidic environment of a biological system, nanoparticles swiftly adsorb plasma proteins on their surface forming a “protein corona”, which profoundly and often adversely affects their residence in the systemic circulation in vivo and their interaction with cells in vitro. It has been recognized that preformation of a protein corona under controlled conditions ameliorates the protein corona effects, including colloidal stability in serum solutions. We report on the investigation of the stabilizing effects of a denatured bovine serum albumin (dBSA) protein corona formed on the surface of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). UCNPs were chosen as a nanoparticle model due to their unique photoluminescent properties suitable for background-free biological imaging and sensing. UCNP surface was modified with nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate (NOBF4) to render it hydrophilic. UCNP-NOBF4 nanoparticles were incubated in dBSA solution to form a dBSA corona followed up by lyophilization. As produced dBSA-UCNP-NOBF4 demonstrated high photoluminescence brightness, sustained colloidal stability after long-term storage and the reduced level of serum protein surface adsorption. These results show promise of dBSA-based nanoparticle pretreatment to improve the amiability to biological environments towards theranostic applications.

Upconversion Nanoparticles Decorated with Polysialic Acid for Solid Tumors Visualization In Vivo. DOKL BIOCHEM BIOPHYS 2021; 497:81-85. [PMID: 33666804 PMCID: PMC8068683 DOI: 10.1134/s1607672921020034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 11/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are a promising nanoplatform for bioreagent formation for in vivo imaging, which emit UV and blue light under the action of near-infrared radiation, providing deep tissue penetration and maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio. In the case of solid tumor visualization, the UCNP surface functionalization is required to ensure a long circulation time, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. The effective UCNP accumulation in the solid tumors is determined by the disturbed architecture of the vascular network and lymphatic drainage. This work demonstrates an approach to the UCNP biofunctionalization with endogenous polysialic acid for in vivo bioreagent formation. Bioreagents possess a low level of nonspecific protein adsorption and macrophage uptake, which allow the prolongation of the circulation time in the bloodstream up to 3 h. This leads to an intense photoluminescent signal in the tumor.

Abstract
"All-in-one" multifunctional nanomaterials, which can be visualized simultaneously by several imaging techniques, are required for the efficient diagnosis and treatment of many serious diseases. This report addresses the design and synthesis of upconversion magnetic NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+(Tm3+) nanoparticles by an oleic acid-stabilized high-temperature coprecipitation of lanthanide precursors in octadec-1-ene. The nanoparticles, which emit visible or UV light under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, were modified by in-house synthesized PEG-neridronate to facilitate their dispersibility and colloidal stability in water and bioanalytically relevant phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The cytotoxicity of the nanoparticles was determined using HeLa cells and human fibroblasts (HF). Subsequently, the particles were modified by Bolton-Hunter-neridronate and radiolabeled by 125I to monitor their biodistribution in mice using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The upconversion and the paramagnetic properties of the NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+(Tm3+)@PEG nanoparticles were evaluated by photoluminescence, magnetic resonance (MR) relaxometry, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with 1 T and 4.7 T preclinical scanners. MRI data were obtained on phantoms with different particle concentrations and during pilot long-time in vivo observations of a mouse model. The biological and physicochemical properties of the NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+(Tm3+)@PEG nanoparticles make them promising as a trimodal optical/MRI/SPECT bioimaging and theranostic nanoprobe for experimental medicine.

Abstract
Physicochemical parameters include pH, temperature, the concentration of the AgNO3, ratio of reactants, agitation and incubation period that act synergistically and provide a steering force to modulate the biogenesis of nanoparticles by influencing the molecular dynamics, reaction kinetics, protein conformations, and catalysis. The current study involved the bio-fabrication of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) by using the reducing abilities of Mentha longifolia (L.) L. leaves aqueous extract. Spectrophotometric analysis of various biochemical reactions showed that 3 mM of AgNO3 at 120 °C in an acidic pH when mixed in 1-9 ratio of plant extract and AgNO3 respectively, are the optimised conditions for SNPs synthesis. Different analytical techniques confirmed that the nanoparticles are anisotropic and nearly spherical and have a size range of 10-100 nm. The ∼10 µg/ml of SNPs killed ∼66% of Leishmania population and IC50 was measured at 8.73 µg/ml. SRB assay and Annexin V apoptosis assay results showed that the plant aqueous extract and SNPs are not active against HCT116 colon cancer cells and no IC50 (80% survival) was reported. ROS generation was quantified at 0.08 Φ, revealed that the SNPs from M. longifolia can generate free radicals and no photothermal activity was recorded which makes them non-photodynamic.

Abstract
Abstract-Theranostics is the direction in modern biomedicine aimed at developing drugs that combine the capabilities of diagnosis and therapy of tumors in one agent. Upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs) are inorganic crystalline materials that can be used to create a nanoplatform providing diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. They have been proposed as luminescent markers for optical imaging of biological tissue due to their anti-Stokes luminescence, lack of photodegradation and low toxicity. In this article, UCNPs as a theranostic agent for both optical imaging and delivery of anticancer drugs have been offered. To obtain biocompatible nanocomplexes, UCNP surface with a core/shell structure of NaYF4:Yb3+Tm3+/NaYF4 was modified with polylactic acid in the presence of various stabilizers (dextran, polyvinyl alcohol, and poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone). To give the therapeutic modality to the nanocomplex, the antitumor antibiotic doxorubicin was loaded into the polymer shell. The loading efficiency was up to 0.1 mg per 1 mg UCNPs. The toxicity and the intracellular accumulation of nanocomplexes were evaluated in vitro. It was concluded that the modification of UCNPs with polylactic acid provides the transport of doxorubicin, allowing the combination of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in one agent.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising bioimaging agents that emit light under near infra-red excitation, capable of penetrating deep in biotissues with a high signal-to-noise ratio. Their successful implementation is principally associated with surface functionalization. Here, we report on UCNP surface modification with highly hydrophilic, endogenous, non-toxic, non-immunogenic colominic acid, conferring "stealth" properties. We proposed surface functionalization of UCNPs based on a two-step strategy, which consists of hydrophilization with polyethyleneimine and attachment of colominic acid by electrostatic or covalent bond formation. Analysis revealed that regardless of the nature of the bond, colominic acid acted as a non-cytotoxic UCNP surface coating with low nonspecific blood protein adsorption. UCNP-colominic acid nanocomplexes exhibited low uptake by macrophages in vitro, which plays an active role in inflammatory reactions. We demonstrated the superiority of colominic acid compared to polyethylene glycol coating in terms of the prolonged circulation time in the bloodstream of small animals when injected intravenously. The colominic acid coating made it possible to prolong the UCNP circulation time up to 3 h. This led to the efficient UCNP accumulation in the inflammation site due to microvascular remodeling, accompanied by an enhanced uptake and retention effect. UCNP-assisted imaging of inflammation in the whole-body mode as well as local visualization of blood vessels were acquired in vivo. These collective findings validate the functional significance of UCNP decoration with colominic acid for their application in bioimaging.

Abstract
Local overheating of biotissue is a critical step for biomedical applications, such as photothermal therapy, enhancement of vascular permeability, remote control of drug release, and so on. Overheating of biological tissue when exposed to light is usually realized by utilizing the materials with a high-absorption cross section (gold, silica, carbon nanoparticles, etc.). Here, we demonstrate core/shell NaYF4:Yb3+, Tm3+/NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) commonly used for bioimaging as promising near-infrared (NIR) absorbers for local overheating of biotissue. We assume that achievable temperature of tissue labeled with nanoparticles is high enough because of Yb3+ resonance absorption of NIR radiation, whereas the use of auxiliary light-absorbing materials or shells is optional for photothermal therapy. For this purpose, a computational model of tissue heating based on the energy balance equations was developed and verified with the experimentally obtained thermal-graphic maps of a mouse in response to the 975-nm laser irradiation. Labeling of biotissue with UCNPs was found to increase the local temperature up to 2°C compared to that of the non-labeled area under the laser intensity lower than 1 W/cm2. The cellular response to the UCNP-initiated hyperthermia at subcritical ablation temperatures (lower than 42°C) was demonstrated by measuring the heat shock protein overexpression. This indicates that the absorption cross section of Yb3+ in UCNPs is relatively large, and microscopic temperature of nanoparticles exceeds the integral tissue temperature. In summary, a new approach based on the use of UCNP without any additional NIR absorbers was used to demonstrate a simple approach in the development of photoluminescent probes for simultaneous bioimaging and local hyperthermia.

Abstract
Interaction between upconverting nanoparticles and aluminum octacarboxyphthalocyanine was studied. The efficiency of non-radiative energy transfer from the nanoparticles to phthalocyanine increased with the number of phthalocyanine molecules adsorbed on the nanoparticle, but only up to a certain limit. Further increase in the phthalocyanine concentration resulted in a decrease of its sensitized fluorescence due to the dimerization of dye molecules on the nanoparticle surface. When subjected to infrared irradiation, phthalocyanine molecules in the hybrid complex generated singlet oxygen. The observed effects are of interest in regard to the targeted search for new components of efficient third-generation hybrid photosensitizers.

Abstract
Photopolymerization of nanocomposite materials using near infrared light is one of the unique technologies based on the luminescent properties of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). We explored the UCNP-triggered radical polymerization both in oligomer bulk and on the nanoparticle surface in aqueous dispersion. Core/shell UCNPs NaYF4:Yb3+ and Tm3+/NaYF4 with emitting lines in the ultraviolet and blue regions were used to activate a photoinitiator. The study of the bulk photopolymerization in an initially homogeneous reaction mixture showed the UCNP redistribution due to gradient density occurring in the volume, which led to formation of UCNP superlattices and spheres "frozen" in a polymer matrix. We also developed a strategy of "grafting from" the surface, providing polymer shell growth directly on the nanoparticles. The photosensitization of the endogenous water-soluble photoinitiator riboflavin by the resonance energy transfer from UCNPs was demonstrated in the course of monomer glycidyl methacrylate polymerization followed by photocrosslinking with poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate on the nanoparticle surface.

Abstract
This up-to-date review summarizes the design and current fabrication strategies that have been employed in the area of mono- and multifunctional colloidal nanoparticles - nanocarriers well suited for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and diagnostic purposes. Rationally engineered photosensitizer (PS)-loaded nanoparticles may be achieved via either noncovalent (i.e., self-aggregation, interfacial deposition, interfacial polymerization, or core-shell entrapment along with physical adsorption) or covalent (chemical immobilization or conjugation) processes. These PS loading approaches should provide chemical and physical stability to PS payloads. Their hydrophilic surfaces, capable of appreciable surface interactions with biological systems, can be further modified using functional groups (stealth effect) to achieve prolonged circulation in the body after administration and/or grafted by targeting agents (such as ligands, which bind to specific receptors uniquely expressed on the cell surface) or stimuli (e.g., pH, temperature, and light)-responsive moieties to improve their action and targeting efficiency. These attempts may in principle permit efficacious PDT, combination therapies, molecular diagnosis, and - in the case of nanotheranostics - simultaneous monitoring and treatment. Nanophotosensitizers (nano-PSs) should possess appropriate morphologies, sizes, unimodal distributions and surface processes to be successfully delivered to the place of action after systemic administration and should be accumulated in certain tumors by passive and/or active targeting. Additionally, physically facilitating drug delivery systems emerge as a promising approach to enhancing drug delivery, especially for the non-invasive treatment of deep-seated malignant tissues. Recent advances in nano-PSs are scrutinized, with an emphasis on design principles, via the promising use of colloid chemistry and nanotechnology.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) coated with polyethylenimine (PEI) are popular background-free optical contrast probes and efficient drug and gene delivery agents attracting attention in science, industry, and medicine. Their unique optical properties are especially useful for subsurface nanotheranostics applications, in particular, in skin. However, high cytotoxicity of PEI limits safe use of UCNP@PEI, and this represents a major barrier for clinical translation of UCNP@PEI-based technologies. Our study aims to address this problem by exploring additional surface modifications to UCNP@PEI to create less toxic and functional nanotheranostic materials. We designed and synthesized six types of layered polymer coatings that envelop the original UCNP@PEI surface, five of which reduced the cytotoxicity to human skin keratinocytes under acute (24 h) and subacute (120 h) exposure. In parallel, we examined the photoluminescence spectra and lifetime of the surface-modified UCNP@PEI. To quantify their brightness, we developed original methodology to precisely measure the colloidal concentration to normalize the photoluminescence signal using a nondigesting mass spectrometry protocol. Our results, specified for the individual coatings, show that, despite decreasing the cytotoxicity, the external polymer coatings of UCNP@PEI quench the upconversion photoluminescence in biologically relevant aqueous environments. This trade-off between cytotoxicity and brightness for surface-coated UCNPs emphasizes the need for the combined assessment of the viability of normal cells exposed to the nanoparticles and the photophysical properties of postmodification UCNPs. We present an optimized methodology for rational surface design of UCNP@PEI in biologically relevant conditions, which is essential to facilitate the translation of such nanoparticles to the clinical applications.

The upconverted ultraviolet photons were capable to efficiently activate photoinitiators contained in light-sensitive resins under moderate intensities of NIR excitation below 10 W cm−2 and induce generation of radicals and photopolymerization in situ. Near infrared-activated polymerization process, both at the millimeter and sub-micron scales, was investigated. Polymeric macro- and microstructures were fabricated by means of near infrared laser scanning photolithography in the volume of liquid photocurable compositions with focused laser light at 975 nm wavelength. Examination of the polymerization process in the vicinity of the nanoparticles shows strong differences in the rate of polymer shell growth on flat and edge nanoparticle sides. This phenomenon mainly defines the resolution of the demonstrated near infrared - ultraviolet 3D printing technology at the micrometer scale level.

Abstract
Recently introduced upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have pushed the depth of photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment to the centimetre range by converting deeply-penetrating near-infrared (NIR) radiation to visible radiation for photoexcitation of PDT drugs. Here we demonstrate that the direct exposure of the cancer tissue to phototoxic ultraviolet radiation generated by NIR-photoexcited UCNPs enabled successful PDT. To this aim, core/shell UCNPs of the formula NaYF4:Yb3+Tm3+/NaYF4 featuring an enhanced band in the ultraviolet UV-A and UV-B spectral bands were rationally designed and synthesised. Coupling UCNPs to the recombinant modules of the Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein (DARPin) fused to a fluorescent protein mCherry allowed the target delivery of DARPin-mCherry/UCNP to human breast adenocarcinoma SK-BR-3 cells overexpressing HER2/neu receptors, as confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. DARPin-mCherry/UCNPs were demonstrated to be phototoxic to SK-BR-3 cells under 975 nm laser irradiation at a dose of 900 J cm-2 due to the UV photoexcitation of endogenous photosensitizers and concomitant generation of reactive oxygen species. The Lewis lung cancer mouse model was employed to demonstrate the feasibility of PDT using UCNP-mediated UV excitation of endogenous photosensitizers in the tumor tissue at a NIR dose of 1200 J cm-2. This study paves the way for exploring and harnessing UV photoexcitation processes in deep tissues in vivo.
