Abstract
An antitumour chemo-photodynamic therapy nanoplatform was constructed based on phospholipid-coated NaYF4: Yb/Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). In this work, the amphiphilic block copolymer DSPE-PEG2000 was combined with the surface ligand oleic acid of the UCNPs through hydrophobic interaction to form liposomes with a dense hydrophobic layer in which the photosensitizer hypocrellin B (HB) was assembled. The coated HB formed J-aggregates, which caused a large redshift in the absorption spectrum and improved the quantum efficiency of energy transfer. Furthermore, MnO2 nanosheets grew in-situ on the liposomes through OMn coordination. Therefore, a multifunctional tumour microenvironment (TME)-responsive theranostic nanoplatform integrating photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) was successfully developed. The results showed that this NIR-mediated chemo-photodynamic therapy nanoplatform was highly efficient for oncotherapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated tumor cell death is a powerful anticancer strategy. Cuproptosis is a copper-dependent and ROS-mediated prospective tumor therapy strategy. However, the complex tumor microenvironment (TME), low tumor specificity, poor therapy efficiency, and lack of imaging capability impair the therapy output of current cuproptosis drugs. Herein, we designed a dual-responsive two-dimensional metal-organic framework (2D MOF) nanotheranostic via a coordination self-assembly strategy using Au(III) tetra-(4-pyridyl) porphine (AuTPyP) as the ligand and copper ions (Cu2+) as nodes. The dual-stimulus combined with the protonation of the pyridyl group in AuTPyP and deep-penetration ultrasound (US) together triggered the controlled release in an acidic TME. The ultrathin structure (3.0 nm) of nanotheranostics promoted the release process. The released Cu2+ was reduced to Cu+ by depleting the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor, which not only activated the Ferredoxin 1 (FDX1)-mediated cuproptosis but also catalyzed the overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor into reactive oxygen species via Fenton-like reaction. Simultaneously, the released AuTPyP could specifically bind with thioredoxin reductase and activate the redox imbalance of tumor cells. These together selectively induced significant mitochondrial vacuoles and prominent tumor cell death but did not damage the normal cells. The fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results verified this nanotheranostic could target the HeLa tumor to greatly promote the self-enhanced effect of chemotherapy/cuproptosis and tumor inhibition efficiency. The work helped to elucidate the controlled assembly of multiresponsive nanotheranostics and the high-specificity ROS regulation for application in anticancer therapy.

Abstract
In this study, a novel long-lived room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) carbon dots (P-CDs) with the properties of ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) light photoresponsive oxidase-like nanozyme were synthesized from diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid and through a one-step hydrothermal method. P-CDs were used as a light-driven oxidative-like enzyme for antimicrobial studies. The results showed that under UV/Vis light irradiation, P-CDs could efficiently convert O2 into 1O2, and the strong oxidizing property of 1O2 greatly enhanced the growth inhibition of P-CDs on Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli). Meanwhile, P-CDs exhibited good photodynamic antifungal properties against Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea). Then the P-CDs were made into P-CDs/PVA films, which effectively prolonged the preservation period of fruits under photodynamic antibacterial action. The good biocompatibility and efficient photosensitive oxygen activation can make P-CDs a more practically useful oxidase-like nanozyme.

Abstract
Cuproptosis is a recently identified copper-dependent form of nonapoptotic cell death and holds great prospect in cancer treatment. One of the most intriguing aspects of cuproptosis is its ability to synergize with apoptosis-based cancer treatments. Herein, we presented a novel approach using copper-coordinated nanoassemblies (CCNAs) that were constructed by incorporating a photosensitizer Zinc Phthalocyanine (ZnPc)-chemotherapeutic (DOX) prodrug with a thioketal (TK) spacer and an IDO inhibitor (1-methyl tryptophan, 1-MT) as building blocks for Cu2+-coordination self-assembly to achieve combinational apoptosis-cuproptosis and immunotherapy. Upon NIR laser irradiation, the ZnPc component of CCNAs exhibited a photodynamic effect that generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). This triggered the release of DOX, leading to enhanced tumor cell apoptosis. Additionally, the presence of Cu2+ in the CCNAs not only enhanced the photodynamic process by catalyzing oxygen generation but also promoted the aggregation of toxic mitochondrial proteins, leading to cell cuproptosis. Importantly, the intensified cuproptosis-apoptosis effect triggered an immunogenic cell death (ICD) response. The released 1-MT complemented this response by reversing the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITM), synergistically amplifying anti-tumor immunity and suppressing the growth of primary and distant tumors. The findings of this study provide a new perspective on potential cancer treatments based on cuproptosis-apoptosis synergistic immunotherapy and stimulate further research in the design of advanced metal-coordinated nanomedicines. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The combination of cuproptosis and apoptosis that act with different mechanisms holds enormous potential in cancer treatment. Here, copper-coordinated nanoassemblies (CCNAs) based on photosensitizer-chemo prodrugs and checkpoint inhibitors were constructed for mediating cuproptosis-apoptosis and subsequently promoting cancer immunotherapy. CCNAs not only promoted the photodynamic effect and activation of chemotherapy through catalyzing the generation of oxygen but also induced toxic mitochondrial protein aggregation, leading to cell cuproptosis. These synergistic antitumor effects triggered robust immune responses with the aid of immune checkpoint blockade, almost eradicating primary tumors and inhibiting distant tumors by around 83 % without systemic toxicity.

Abstract
Designing and constructing supramolecular photosensitizer nanosystems with highly efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT) is vital in the nanomedical field. Despite recent advances in forming well-defined superstructures, the relationship between molecular arrangement in nanostructures and photodynamic properties has rarely been involved, which is crucial for developing stable photosensitizers for highly efficient PDT. In this work, through a microemulsion-assisted self-assembly approach, indium porphyrin (InTPP) was used to fabricate a series of morphology-controlled self-assemblies, including nanorods, nanospheres, nanoplates, and nanoparticles. They possessed structure-dependent 1O2 generation efficiency. Compared with the other three nanostructures, InTPP nanorods featuring strong π-π stacking, J-aggregation, and high crystallinity proved to be much more efficient at singlet oxygen (1O2) production. Also, theoretical modeling and photophysical experiments verified that the intermolecular π-π stacking in the nanorods could cause a decreased singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔEST) compared with the monomer. This played a key role in enhancing intersystem crossing and facilitating 1O2 generation. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the InTPP nanorods could trigger cell apoptosis and tumor ablation upon laser irradiation (635 nm, 0.1 W/cm2) and exhibited negligible dark toxicity and high phototoxicity. Thus, the supramolecular self-assembly strategy provides an avenue for designing high-performance photosensitizer nanosystems for photodynamic therapy and beyond.

Abstract
Porphyrins and their derivatives are widely used as photosensitizers and sonosensitizers in tumor treatment. Nevertheless, their poor water solubility and low chemical stability reduce their singlet oxygen (1O2) yield and, consequently, their photodynamic therapy (PDT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) efficiency. Although strategies for porphyrin molecule assembly have been developed to augment 1O2 generation, there is scope for further improving PDT and SDT efficiencies. Herein, we synthesized ordered manganese porphyrin (SM) nanoparticles with well-defined self-assembled metalloporphyrin networks that enabled efficient energy transfer for enhanced photocatalytic and sonocatalytic activity in 1O2 production. Subsequently, Au nanoparticles were grown in situ on the SM surface by anchoring the terminal alkynyl of porphyrin to form plasmonic SMA heterostructures, which showed the excellent near-infrared-II (NIR-II) region absorption and photothermal properties, and facilitated electron-hole pair separation and transfer. With the modification of hyaluronic acid (HA), SMAH heterostructure nanocomposites exhibited good water solubility and were actively targeted to cancer cells. Under NIR-II light and ultrasound (US) irradiation, the SMAH generates hyperthermia, and a large amount of 1O2, inducing cancer cell damage. Both in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that the SMAH nanocomposites effectively suppressed tumor growth by decreasing GSH levels in SDT-augmented PDT/PTT. Moreover, by utilizing the strong absorption in the NIR-II window, SMAH nanocomposites can achieve NIR-II photoacoustic imaging-guided combined cancer treatment. This work provides a paradigm for enhancing the 1O2 yield of metalloporphyrins to improve the synergistic therapeutic effect of SDT/PDT/PTT.

Abstract
Cancer is a global health burden and is one of the leading causes of death. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is considered an alternative approach to conventional cancer treatment. PDT utilizes a light-sensitive compound, photosensitizers (PSs), light irradiation, and molecular oxygen (O2). This generates cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can trigger necrosis and/ or apoptosis, leading to cancer cell death in the intended tissues. Classical photosensitizers impose limitations that hinder their clinical applications, such as long-term skin photosensitivity, hydrophobic nature, nonspecific targeting, and toxic cumulative effects. Thus, nanotechnology emerged as an unorthodox solution for improving the hydrophilicity and targeting efficiency of PSs. Among nanocarriers, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have gained increasing attention due to their high surface area, defined pore size and structure, ease of surface modification, stable aqueous dispersions, good biocompatibility, and optical transparency, which are vital for PDT. The advancement of integrated MSNs/PDT has led to an inspiring multimodal nanosystem for effectively treating malignancies. This review gives an overview of the main components and mechanisms of the PDT process, the effect of PDT on tumor cells, and the most recent studies that reported the benefits of incorporating PSs into silica nanoparticles and integration with PDT against different cancer cells.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor with low survival, primarily due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and high infiltration. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-based near-infrared (NIR) phototherapy with deep penetration is a promising therapy method against glioma but faces low photoenergy utilization that is induced by spectral mismatch and single-site Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Herein, we designed a brain-targeting NIR theranostic system with a dual-site FRET route and superior spectral matching to maximize energy utilization for synergistic photodynamic and photothermal therapy of glioma. The system was fabricated by Tm-doped UCNPs, zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP), and copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles under multioptimized modulation. First, the Tm-doping ratio was precisely adjusted to improve the relative emission intensity at 475 nm of UCNPs (11.5-fold). Moreover, the J-aggregate of ZnTPP increased the absorption at 475 nm (163.5-fold) of monomer; both together optimize the FRET matching between UCNPs and porphyrin for effective NIR photodynamic therapy. Simultaneously, the emission at 800 nm was utilized to magnify the photothermal effect of CuS nanoparticles for photothermal therapy via the second FRET route. After being modified by a brain-targeted peptide, the system efficiently triggers the synergistic phototherapy ablation of glioma cells and significantly prolongs the survival of orthotopic glioma-bearing mice after traversing the BBB and targeting glioma. This success of advanced spectral modulation and dual-site FRET strategy may inspire more strategies to maximize the photoenergy utilization of UCNPs for brain diseases.

Abstract
Transforming solar energy into chemical bonds is a promising and viable way to store solar energy. Porphyrins are natural light-capturing antennas, and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is an effective, artificially synthesized organic semiconductor. Their excellent complementarity has led to a growing number of research papers on porphyrin/g-C3N4 hybrids for solar energy utilization. This review highlights the recent progress in porphyrin/g-C3N4 composites, including: (1) porphyrin molecules/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts connected via noncovalent or covalent interactions, and (2) porphyrin-based nanomaterials/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts, such as porphyrin-based MOF/g-C3N4, porphyrin-based COF/g-C3N4, and porphyrin-based assembly/g-C3N4 heterojunction nanostructures. Additionally, the review discusses the versatile applications of these composites, including artificial photosynthesis for hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation. Lastly, critical summaries and perspectives on the challenges and future directions in this field are also provided.

Abstract
Photosynthesis occurs in high plants, and certain organisms show brilliant technology in converting solar light to chemical energy and producing carbohydrates from carbon dioxide (CO2). Mimicking the mechanism of natural photosynthesis is receiving wide-ranging attention for the development of novel materials capable of photo-to-electric, photo-to-chemical, and photocatalytic transformations. Porphyrin, possessing a similar highly conjugated core ring structure to chlorophyll and flexible physical and chemical properties, has become one of the most investigated photosensitizers. Chemical modification and self-assembly of molecules as well as constructing porphyrin-based metal (covalent) organic frameworks are often used to improve its solar light utilization and electron transfer rate. Especially porphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in which porphyrin molecules are connected by covalent bonds combine the structural advantages of organic frameworks with light-capturing properties of porphyrins and exhibit great potential in light-responsive materials. Porphyrin-based COFs are expected to have high solar light utilization, fast charge separation/transfer performance, excellent structural stability, and novel steric selectivity by special molecular design. In this paper, we reviewed the research progress of porphyrin-based COFs in the design, synthesis, properties, and applications. We focused on the intrinsic relationship between the structure and properties, especially the photoelectric conversion properties and charge transfer mechanism of porphyrin-based COFs, and tried to provide more valuable information for the design of advanced photosensitizers. The applications of porphyrin-based COFs in photocatalysis and phototherapy were emphasized based on their special structure design and light-to-electric (or light-to-heat) conversion control.

Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has been deemed a global crisis that affects humans worldwide. Novel anti-infection strategies are desperately needed because of the limitations of conventional antibiotics. However, the increasing gap between clinical demand and antimicrobial treatment innovation, as well as the membrane permeability obstacle especially in gram-negative bacteria fearfully restrict the reformation of antibacterial strategy. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have the advantages of adjustable apertures, high drug-loading rates, tailorable structures, and superior biocompatibilities, enabling their utilization as drug delivery carriers in biotherapy applications. Additionally, the metal elements in MOFs are usually bactericidal. This article provides a review of the state-of-The-art design, the underlying antibacterial mechanisms and antibacterial applications of MOF- and MOF-based drug-loading materials. In addition, the existing problems and future perspectives of MOF- and MOF-based drug-loading materials are also discussed.

Abstract
Two hybrid composites (SnP@MCM-41 and SnP@SiO2) were fabricated by chemical adsorption of (trans-dihydroxo)(5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato)tin(IV) (SnP) on mesoporous structured Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41 (MCM-41) and SiO2 nanoparticles. These materials were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy techniques. The incorporation of SnP into MCM-41 and SiO2 supports efficient photocatalytic degradation of the anionic erioglaucine, cationic rhodamine B, and neutral m-cresol purple dyes under visible light irradiation in an aqueous solution. The performances of degradation of these dyes by these photocatalysts under visible light irradiation varied from 87 to 95%. The pseudo-first-order degradation rate constant of organic dyes for SnP@MCM-41 was higher than those of SnP@SiO2 and SnP. These visible light photocatalysts showed remarkable stability and reliable reusability.

Abstract
The aggregation state of photosensitizers on the surface of bacterial cells is an important scientific problem for antibacterial photodynamic therapy (APDT). High accumulation and high photoactive state maintenance of photosensitizers are the prerequisite of high APDT efficiency. In this study, an amphiphilic di-cationic methylene blue photosensitizer (C12-MB) was synthesized through quaternization, and its structure, interface properties, photophysical properties and antibacterial photodynamic properties were studied. The results showed that C12-MB could reduce 4.27 log10 CFU and 4.8 log10 CFU for P. aeruginosa and S. aureus under irradiation of light at 660 nm, higher than the parent methylene blue. Through a spectroscopic study on photosensitizer adsorption over the bacterial surface, C12-MB can be accumulated with higher concentration, and the photo-active monomer content is 73% and 70% over P. aeruginosa and S. aureus, higher than those of methylene blue: 25% and 49%, respectively. The higher content of non-aggregated photo-active monomer could contribute to higher antibacterial photodynamic efficiency. For C12-MB adsorbed over bacterial surfaces, planar packing inhibition and electrostatic repulsion could contribute to lower C12-MB aggregation, which provides an useful reference for the structural design of high-efficiency photosensitizers.

Abstract
This study focuses on synthesizing novel nanocomposites, zinc(II)tetrakis(4-phenyl)porphyrin/Cu nanoparticles (ZnTPP/Cu-NPs),with antibacterial activity, fabricated through a single-step green procedure. In this regard, the self-assembly of ZnTPP was carried out through an acid-base neutralization method to prepare ZnTPP nanoparticles. Then, the copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) were grown on ZnTPP nanoparticles through a visible-light irradiated photochemical procedure in the absence and presence of polyacrylic acid (PAA) as a modulator. The effect of PAA on the morphological properties of the prepared nanocomposites was evaluated. Eventually, the antibacterial activity of nanocomposites with different morphologies was investigated. In this way, the average zone of inhibition growth of diameter, minimum inhibitory concentration, and minimum bactericidal concentration values was determined. Besides, the cytotoxicity of the nanocomposites was evaluated by (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay MCF-7and (HEK-293) cell lines. The specific features of the synthesized nanocomposites identified them as antibacterial compounds which have therapeutic effects on breast cancer.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a rapidly developing non-surgical therapy that initiates sensitizers’ catalytic reaction using ultrasound, showing great potential for cancer treatment due to its high safety and non-invasive nature. In addition, recent research has found that using different diagnostic and therapeutic methods in tandem can lead to better anticancer outcomes. Therefore, as essential components of SDT, sonosensitizers have been extensively explored to optimize their functions and integrate multiple medical fields. The review is based on five years of articles evaluating the combined use of SDT and imaging in treating cancer. By developing multifunctional sonosensitive particles that combine imaging and sonodynamic therapy, we have integrated diagnosis into the treatment of precision medicine applications, improving SDT cell uptake and antitumor efficacy utilizing different tumour models. This paper describes the imaging principle and the results of cellular and animal imaging of the multifunctional sonosensitizers. Efforts are made in this paper to provide data and design references for future SDT combined imaging research and clinical application development and to provide offer suggestions.

Abstract
Phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy, is an emerging form of non-invasive treatment. The combination of imaging technology and phototherapy is becoming an attractive development in the treatment of cancer, as it allows for highly effective therapeutic results through image-guided phototherapy. Porphyrins have attracted significant interest in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer due to their excellent phototherapeutic effects in phototherapy and their remarkable imaging capabilities in fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and photoacoustic imaging. However, porphyrins suffer from poor water solubility, low near-infrared absorption and insufficient tumor accumulation. The development of nanotechnology provides an effective way to improve the bioavailability, phototherapeutic effect and imaging capability of porphyrins. This review highlights the research results of porphyrin-based small molecule nanoparticles in phototherapy and image-guided phototherapy in the last decade and discusses the challenges and directions for the development of porphyrin-based small molecule nanoparticles in phototherapy.

Abstract
Light-assisted antibacterial therapy is a promising alternative to antibiotic therapy due to the high antibacterial efficacy without bacterial resistance. Recent research has mainly focused on the use of near-infrared light irradiation to kill bacteria by taking advantage of the synergistic effects rendered by hyperthermia and radical oxygen species. However, photocatalytic antibacterial therapy excited by visible light is more convenient and practical, especially for wounds. Herein, a visible light responsive organic-inorganic hybrid of ZnTCPP/Ti3 C2 TX is designed and fabricated to treat bacterial infection with antibacterial efficiency of 99.86% and 99.92% within 10 min against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. The porphyrin-metal complex, ZnTCPP, is assembled on the surface of Ti3 C2 TX MXene to capture bacteria electrostatically and the Schottky junction formed between Ti3 C2 TX and ZnTCPP promotes visible light utilization, accelerates charge separation, and enhances the mobility of photogenerated charges, and finally increases the photocatalytic activity. As a result of the excellent bacteria capturing ability and photocatalytic antibacterial effects, ZnTCPP/Ti3 C2 TX exposed to visible light has excellent antibacterial properties in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, organic-inorganic materials that have been demonstrated to possess good biocompatibility and enhance wound healing have large potential in bio-photocatalysis, antibacterial therapy, as well as antibiotics-free treatment of wounds.

Abstract
The development of stimuli-responsively degradable porous carriers for both controlled drug release and high biosafety is vitally important to their clinical translation, but still challenging at present. A new type of porphyrin-iron metal organic framework (Fe-MOF) nanocrystals is engineered here as acid-degradable drug carrier and hydrogen donor by the coordination between porphyrin and zero-valence Fe atom. Fe-MOF nanocrystals exhibit excellent acid-responsive degradation for H2 generation and simultaneous release of the loaded drug for combined hydrogen-chemotherapy of cancer multidrug resistance (MDR) and metastasis and for local hydrogen eradication of the off-target induced toxic side effects of the drug to normal cells/tissues. Mechanistically, released H2 assists chemotherapeutic drug to efficiently inhibit cancer metastasis by immunoactivating intratumoral M1-phenotype macrophages and consequently downregulating the expression of metastasis-related matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and can also downregulate the expressions of both P-glycoprotein (P-gp) protein and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in MDR cancer cells to sensitize chemotherapeutic drug for enhanced damage to mitochondria and DNA. High anti-MDR/antimetastasis efficacies and high biocompatibility endow Fe-MOF nanocrystals and the Fe-MOF-based nanomedicine with high potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Porphyrin assemblies have controllable morphology, high biocompatibility, and good optical properties and were widely used in biomedical diagnosis and treatment. With the development of DNA biotechnology, combining DNA with porphyrin assemblies can broaden the biological applications of porphyrins. Porphyrin assemblies can serve as nanocarriers for DNA, although the fundamental interactions between them are not well understood. In this work, zinc meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin (ZnTPyP) assemblies were prepared in the presence of various surfactants and at different pH values, yielding a variety of aggregation forms. Among them, the hexagonal stacking form exposes more pyridine substituents, and the hydrogen bonding force between the substituents and the DNA bases allows the DNA to be quickly adsorbed on the surface of the assemblies. The effects of DNA sequence and length were systematically tested. In particular, the adsorption of duplex DNA was less efficient compared to the adsorption of single-stranded DNA. This fundamental study is useful for the further combination of DNA and porphyrin assemblies to prepare new functional hybrid nanomaterials.

Abstract
Room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) N-doped carbon-dots (CNDs) featuring eco-friendliness, low cost and high biocompatibility, are ideal photodynamic antibacterial and anticancer nanomaterials. However, the existing CNDs are limited by low singlet oxygen (1O2) quantum yield, which has become a bottleneck in the development of CNDs. One basic reason is the short T1-state exciton lifetime of CNDs. Herein, triethylenetetramine hexaacetic acid was used to synthesize CNDs via a one-step hydrothermal method. CNDs are characterized with low toxicity, high biocompatibility and ultralong-lifetime RTP (URTP). In addition to the URTP (average lifetime 414 ms) under solid conditions, CNDs even had URTP (average lifetime 320 ms) in a water environment. The ultralong T1 exciton lifetime largely extends the collision time between T1 state excitons and O2 and prolongs the energy transfer time, not only improving the quantum yield (0.63) of singlet oxygen (1O2) in solution, but also facilitating the photodynamic antibacterial and anticancer effects. The URTP CNDs largely extends the collision time between T1 state exciton and O2, which improve quantum yield of singlet oxygen (1O2) in solutions, facilitating the photodynamic antibacterial and anticancer effects.![]()

Abstract
The antioxidant defense system in malignant cells, which involves antioxidant enzymes and antioxidant molecules, is an innate barrier to photodynamic therapy (PDT). Because of the complexity of the endogenous antioxidant mechanisms of these cells, simply inhibiting individual antioxidant pathways has a limited effect on improving the lethality of ROS. To enhance the efficacy of PDT for tumor treatment, a versatile nanoparticle (NP)-based drug is developed, which the authors call PZB NP, containing the glutathione inhibitor l-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) and the heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) inhibitor protoporphyrin zinc(II) (ZnPP) to suppress the innate antioxidant defense system of cancer cells in a two-pronged manner. BSO reduces intracellular glutathione levels to minimize ROS elimination and protein protection during PDT, and ZnPP inhibits the ROS-stimulated upregulation of the antioxidant HO-1, thus preventing ROS removal by cells after PDT. Thus, BSO and ZnPP synergistically suppress the antioxidant defense systems of cancer cells both during and after protoporphyrin-IX-mediated PDT in a two-pronged manner, resulting in tumor cell death through excess oxidative pressure. The results demonstrate that the construction of nanodrugs having dual antioxidation defense suppression properties is a promising route for the development of highly efficient ROS-based therapies.

Abstract
Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within tumors can cause oxidative stress on tumor cells to induce death, which has motivated us to develop ROS-mediated tumor therapies, such as typical photodynamic therapy (PDT) and Fenton reaction-mediated chemodynamic therapy (CDT). However, these therapeutic modalities suffer from compromised treatment efficacy owing to their limited generation of highly reactive ROS in a tumor microenvironment (TME). In this work, a nanoscale iron-based metal-organic framework, MIL-101(Fe), is synthesized as a Fenton nanocatalyst to perform the catalytic conversion of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under the acidic environment and as a biocompatible and biodegradable nanocarrier to deliver a 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) photosensitizer for light-activated singlet oxygen (1O2) generation. By coupling such chemodynamic/photodynamic effects, the photosensitizer-integrated nanoagents (MIL-101(Fe)@TCPP) could enable more ROS production within tumors to induce amplified oxidative damage for tumor-specific synergistic therapy. In vitro results show that MIL-101(Fe)@TCPP nanoagents achieve the acid-responsive CDT and effective PDT, and synergistic CDT/PDT provides an enhanced therapeutic effect. Ultimately, based on such synergistic therapy, MIL-101(Fe)@TCPP nanoagents cause a significant tumor growth inhibition in vivo without severe side effects, showing great potential for anti-tumor application.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an approved and promising treatment approach that utilizes a photosensitizer (PS) to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) through irradiation to achieve tumor noninvasive therapy. However, the limited singlet oxygen generation, the nonspecific uptake of PS in normal cells, and tumor hypoxia have become major challenges in conventional PDT, impeding its development and further clinical application. This review summarizes an overview of recent advances for the enhanced PDT. The development of PDT with innovative strategies, including molecular engineering and heavy atom-free photosensitizers is presented and future directions in this promising field are also provided. This review aims to highlight the recent advances in PDT and discuss the potential strategies that show promise in overcoming the challenges of PDT.

Abstract
The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising strategy for complete tumor ablation therapy. Herein, a boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-conjugated hyaluronic acid polymer that can self-assemble to form the nanoparticles (BODIPY-HA NPs) was prepared for combined cancer PDT and PTT. The fluorescence emission and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation of BODIPY-HA NPs were inhibited because of the π-π stacking behavior of BODIPY, resulting in photothermal effect under 808 nm light irradiation. Upon the internalization by cancer cells, the BODIPY-HA NPs could disassemble into BODIPY-HA molecules, with the recovery of the fluorescence and ROS generation for PDT. Importantly, in vitro results confirmed that combined PTT and PDT have exhibited better anticancer effect than PTT alone upon 808 nm laser irradiation. These results showed that the self-assembled BODIPY-HA NPs may be a promising nanomedicine for synergistic cancer PDT and PTT.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is a prime tool for cancer clinical therapy. The effectiveness has been improved considerably with the assistance of nanotechnology. However, it still meets the challenge of unsatisfied therapeutic effects caused by multidrug resistance and uncontrollable drug release. For further enhancement of the treatment performance, we develop a kind of microRNA-responsive nanomedicine that uses the biomarker microRNA-21 as a trigger of cascaded killing effects on cancer cells, including chemotherapy and gene silencing. The nanomedicine consists of a gold nanoparticle core and a DNA layer. Strand migrations within the layer can accurately control the events of anticancer drug doxorubicin release and multidrug-resistant-associated protein 1 downregulation, yielding an alleviation of multidrug resistance and enhanced killing on cancer cells. This work demonstrates a microRNA-responsive nanomedicine in combination with chemotherapy and gene silencing, which paves the way to the advancement of DNA-based nanomedicine for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown great potential in infection treatment. However, the shallow depth of the short wavelength light and the low reactive oxygen species (ROS) production hinder its development. A strategy that can achieve a second near-infrared (NIR-II) light that is a long wavelength induced multi-intensified antibacterial PDT is most critical. Herein, hybrid plasmonic Au/CdSexSy with precise Ag doping (ACA) nanodumbbells are rationally designed for ideal NIR-II light induced antibacterial PDT. Plasmonic Au nanorods extend the photocatalytic activity of ACA to NIR-II regions, which provides a basis for NIR-II light induced PDT. More importantly, multi-intensified PDT can be realized by the following creativities: (i) elaborate design of as-synthesized nanodumbbells that allows for electron holes to be redistributed in different regions simultaneously, (ii) the efficient hot-electrons injection that benefits from the ratio tailoring of anions ratio of Se and S, and (iii) the dopant Ag level inhibiting the combination of electron holes. The nanodumbbells create effective hot-electrons injection and a separation of electron holes, which provides great convenience for the production of ROS and allows NIR-II light induced PDT for the inhibition of bacteria and biofilms. As a result, comparably, our well-defined ACA hybrid nanodumbbells can generate about 40-fold superoxide radicals (·O2-) and more hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Therefore, the MIC value of the as-synthesized nanodumbbells is lower than the value of 1/16 of core-shell ACA. In vivo results further demonstrate that our nanodumbbells exhibit excellent PDT efficacy.

Abstract
Self-assembly is a powerful means to fabricate multifunctional smart nanotheranostics. However, the complicated preparation, toxicity of responsive carriers, and low loading efficiency of drug cargo hinder the outcome. Herein, we developed a responsive carrier-free noncovalent self-assembly strategy of a metallized Au(III) tetra-(4-pyridyl) porphine (AuTPyP) anticancer drug for the preparation of a heat/acid dual-stimulated nanodrug, and it generated a better photothermal effect than monomers under irradiation. The photothermal effect promoted the protonation of the hydrophobic pyridyl group and the following release into tumorous acidic microenvironments. With cRGD modification, the released drug induced the aggravation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the activity inhibition of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using oxygen, light, and photosensitizers has been receiving great attention, because it has potential for making up for the weakness of the existing therapies such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. It has been mainly used to treat cancer, and clinical tests for second-generation photosensitizers with improved physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetic profiles, or singlet oxygen quantum yield have been conducted. Progress is also being made in cancer theranostics by using fluorescent signals generated by photosensitizers. In order to obtain the effective cytotoxic effects on the target cells and prevent off-target side effects, photosensitizers need to be localized to the target tissue. The use of nanocarriers combined with photosensitizers can enhance accumulation of photosensitizers in the tumor site, owing to preferential extravasation of nanoparticles into the tumor vasculature by the enhanced permeability and retention effect. Self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers provide good loading efficiency and sustained release of hydrophobic photosensitizers. In addition, prodrug nanomedicines for PDT can be activated by stimuli in the tumor site. In this review, we introduce current limitations and recent progress in nanomedicine for PDT and discuss the expected future direction of research.

Abstract
Ionic self-assembly is a simple yet powerful method to obtain robust nanostructures. Herewith, we use mixtures of oppositely-charged porphyrins that can act as mesogens to form chromonic liquid crystals in water, i.e., molecular stacks with orientational (nematic) or positional (hexagonal) order. Electrostatic locking coupled with π-π interactions between aromatic groups within the stacks, together with inter-stack hydrogen bonding induce formation of all-organic crystalline nanofibers with high aspect ratio (a few tenths of nanometers in width but several tenths of micrometers in length) and that display branching. The nanofibers prepared from metal-free porphyrin units feature interesting optical properties, including an absorption spectrum that is different from the simple sum of the individual spectra of the components, which is attributed to a striking aggregation-induced chromism. When in contact with some polar organic solvents the materials become fluorescent, as a result of disaggregation. In a proof-of-concept, the obtained self-assembled one-dimensional (1D) materials were carbonized (yield ca. 60%) to produce nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers that can be used as active electrode materials for energy storage applications.

Precise magnetic resonance imaging-guided sonodynamic therapy for drug-resistant bacterial deep infection. Biomaterials 2020; 264:120386.

Abstract
The precise treatment of drug-resistant deep bacterial infections remains a huge challenge in clinic. Herein, a polymer-peptide-porphyrin conjugate (PPPC), which can be real-time monitored in infectious site, is developed for accurate and deep sonodynamic therapy (SDT) based on "in vivo self-assembly" strategy. The PPPC contains four moieties, i.e., a hyperbranched polymer backbone, a self-assembled peptide linked with an enzyme-cleavable peptide-poly (ethylene glycol) terminal, a bacterial targeting peptide, and a porphyrin sonosensitizer (MnTCPP) segment. Once PPPC nanoparticles reach the infectious area, the protecting PEG layers are removed due to the over-expressed gelatinase, leading to the secondary assembly into large nanoaggregates and resultant enhanced accumulation of sonosensitizer. The nanoaggregates exhibit enhanced interaction with bacterial membrane and decrease the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) significantly. Meanwhile, compared with free MnTCPP, the concentration of which can not be accurately quantified, the accumulation amount of MnTCPP in PPPCs at infectious site can be in situ monitored by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using T1 combined with T2. When the concentration of PPPC-1 reaches MIC, the drug-resistant bacterial infection area is exposed to ultrasound irradiation, causing the precise and efficient elimination of bacteria. Therefore, the MRI-guided SDT system shows extraordinary tissue penetration depth, drug concentration monitoring, morphology-transformation induced accumulation and improved treatment capacity toward drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers with facile and versatile architectures via noncovalent connection present great potential in biological fields. Herein, a linear alternating supramolecular polymer is constructed via host-guest inclusion interaction between cyclodextrin dimer (CD2) and bifunctional adamantane-conjugated porphyrin (TPP-Ad2). The supramolecular alternating structure of CD/TPP could not only suppress the aggregation of PSs to improve the photophysical properties because of the steric hindrance but also enhance the water solubility of PSs induced from cyclodextrin moieties. The nanoplatform obtained by this linear alternating supramolecular polymer (TPP-Ad2/CD2) presents significantly enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy, providing a promising path for PDT.

Abstract
Methylene blue (MB) is widely used as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy applications. However, it is easily reduced by reductases in biological environments, which hampers its further applications. Here, we developed a one-pot method to synthesize MB-encapsulated and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)-modified zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90) nanoparticles (MB@ZIF-90/PVP NPs). The NPs show intact crystalline structure with improved colloidal dispersity and stability both in water and in the medium for cell culture. The size of the enzymes is much larger than the pore size of ZIF-9; thus, the access of reductive enzymes to encapsulated MB is prohibited, resulting in the protection of MB's photodynamic activity. Furthermore, cell experiments confirm that MB@ZIF-90/PVP NPs have lower dark cytotoxity than equivalent free MB but can efficiently induce photodynamic damage to tumor cells even in the presence of reductive enzymes upon light irradiation.

Abstract
Due to the complicated environment and high tissue hydraulic pressure in tumors that easily pumps the nanomedicines back to the systemic circulation, the concentration of released photosensitizers (PSs) retained in a tumor by a traditional nano-delivery system is very low, causing an unsatisfactory photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect. Therefore, we prepared a pH/H2O2-responsive nano-system (ZnP-OC-M) through modified porphyrin PS units with a long-unsaturated oleoyl chloride chain, and by the further introduction of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups and MnO2 through a cis-addition reaction between the unsaturated double bonds of oleoyl chloride and dilute KMnO4 solution. Making use of the sensitivity of MnO2 to the H2O2 in the acid environment of tumor cells, ZnP-OC-M selectively realized responsive disintegration and O2 generation. More importantly, the rich amphiphilic PS units were shedded simultaneously and spontaneously completed the self-assembly into nanofibers in situ by helical stacking, which displayed a 1.85-fold higher retention effect of PSs in vivo compared with free PS groups and showed a great tumor inhibition effect in enhancing PDT. This nanosystem effectively solves the problem of the low retention abilities leading to a poor PS concentration in a tumor, prolonging the treatment time window efficiently after only a single administration and achieving the purpose of PDT enhancement.

Abstract
It is both challenging and desirable to have drug sensitizers released at acidic tumor pH for photodynamic therapy in cancer treatment. A pH-responsive carrier was prepared, in which fumed silica-attached 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-trimethylammoniophenyl)porphyrin (TTMAPP) was encapsulated into 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) nanocomposite liposomes. The sizes of agglomerates were determined by dynamic light scattering to be 115 nm for silica and 295 nm for silica-TTMAPP-DOPC liposomes. Morphological changes were also found in TEM images, showing liposome formation at pH 8.5 but collapse upon silanol protonation. TTMAPP release is enhanced from 13% at pH 7.5 to 80% at pH 2.3, as determined spectrophotometrically through dialysis membranes. Fluorescence emission of TTMAPP encapsulated in the dry film of liposomes was reduced to half at pH 8.6 when compared to that at pH 5.4, while the production of singlet oxygen was quintupled at pH 5.0 compared to pH 7.6. Upon treatment of human prostate cancer cells with liposomes containing 6.7 μM, 13 μM, 17 μM and 20 μM TTMAPP, the cell viabilities were determined to be 60%, 18%, 20% and 5% at pH 5.4; 58%, 30%, 25% and 10% at pH 6.3; and 90%, 82%, 68% and 35% at pH 7.4, respectively. Light-induced apoptosis in cancerous cells was only observed in the presence of liposomes at pH 6.3 and pH 5.4 but not at pH 7.4, as indicated by chromatin condensation. Nanocomposite liposomes are relatively stable in weak basic solutions but effectively release porphyrins at acidic pH, as indicated by the difference in fluorescence.![]()

Abstract
Understanding structural stability and phase transformation of nanoparticles under high pressure is of great scientific interest, as it is one of the crucial factors for design, synthesis, and application of materials. Even though high-pressure research on nanomaterials has been widely conducted, their shape-dependent phase transition behavior still remains unclear. Examples of phase transitions of CdS nanoparticles are very limited, despite the fact that it is one of the most studied wide band gap semiconductors. Here we have employed in situ synchrotron wide-angle X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to investigate the high-pressure behaviors of CdS nanoparticles as a function of particle shapes. We observed that CdS nanoparticles transform from wurtzite to rocksalt phase at elevated pressure in comparison to their bulk counterpart. Phase transitions also vary with particle shape: rod-shaped particles show a partially reversible phase transition and the onset of the structural phase transition pressure decreases with decreasing surface-to-volume ratios, while spherical particles undergo irreversible phase transition with relatively low phase transition pressure. Additionally, TEM images of spherical particles exhibited sintering-induced morphology change after high-pressure compression. Calculations of the bulk modulus reveal that spheres are more compressible than rods in the wurtzite phase. These results indicate that the shape of the particle plays an important role in determining their high-pressure properties. Our study provides important insights into understanding the phase-structure-property relationship, guiding future design and synthesis of nanoparticles for promising applications.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cell apoptosis has been a significant strategy for tumor oxidative damage, while tumor hypoxia is a major bottleneck for efficiency. Here, a novel TiO-porphyrin nanosystem (FA-TiOPs) is designed by encapsulating TiO-porphyrin (TiOP) in folate-liposome. The nanosysytem can photocatalyze H2O and tumor-overexpressed H2O2, in situ generating sufficient ROS. TiOP can photosplit water to produce ·OH radical, H2O2, and O2. Generated O2 not only conquers the hypoxia of tumor environment but also can be further excited by TiOP to 1O2 for killing tumor cells. Density functional theory calculations indicate that high energy in excited state (S1) of TiOP and narrow gap energy between S1 and the triplet excited state (Tn) might contribute to the efficient photocatalytic action. Moreover, the generated and overexpressed H2O2 in tumors can also be photocatalyzed to generate 1O2 especially in acid condition, helpful to specific anticancer effect while harmless to normal tissues. This research might pave a new way to bypass the hypoxia-triggered problem for cancer therapy.

Abstract
X-ray radio-luminescence materials have potential application in radiotherapy (RT) and biomedical imaging. Considering that lutecium ions (Lu3+) with high atomic number (Z) have high X-ray attenuation coefficients, Ce3+-doped A-type Lu2SiO5@SiO2 (A-LSO:Ce3+@SiO2) core-shell nanospheres with size in the range of 200-250 nm were prepared through coprecipitation method. The growth mechanism of A-LSO:Ce3+@SiO2 core-shell nanospheres was investigated through determining the phase transition and morphology evolution by XRD, FT-IR, and TEM. The emission spectra, decay profile, and X-ray excited luminescence spectra (XEL) of the obtained samples were collected. The results show that a new type of lutecium silicate core-shell nanospheres A-LSO:Ce3+@SiO2 can be fabricated and exhibit efficient radio-luminescence under X-ray radiation, which has potential application in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer.

Abstract
Recently, nanozymes have attracted enormous interest for their high stability, low cost and various enzyme-like activities. In nature, many biochemical reactions require light. Recently, introducing light to nanozymes has also been reported, especially for photosensitized oxygen activation. Compared to normal nanozymes, light-activated nanozymes possess several advantages including light-regulated activity, using molecular oxygen as a green oxidant, and often higher activity can be achieved. Herein, we summarize light-activated nanozymes, starting from their photophysical processes and identification of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although the types of light-activated nanozymes are still quite limited and cannot yet mimic the same reactions as natural photo-related enzymes, they have widened the range of nanozymes. A few specific applications are highlighted, including sensing, chemical synthesis, degradation of organic pollutants, and cleavage and repair of DNA. Finally, a few future research opportunities are discussed.

Abstract
The development of a stimulus-responsive nanosystem provides an effective method for improving the accuracy and efficiency of chemotherapy. Meanwhile, traditional photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been substantially restricted by the low dosage of photosensitizer and limited penetration depth of the ultraviolet (UV) or visible light used for excitation. Here, we designed a smart multifunctional nanoplatform by coating core-shell composite mesoporous silica-encapsulated upconversion nanoparticles and chlorin e6 (Ce6) with degradable calcium phosphate, followed by the loading of doxorubicin (DOX). In our structure, the as-synthesized nanoplatform exhibits high responsiveness to a low pH value and degrades rapidly in the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment, allowing the quick release of loaded DOX in tumor sites. Interestingly, the loaded DOX, whose release depends on the pH value and positively correlates with the calcium-ion concentration, enables drug release to be monitored in real time. Combined with photosensitizer Ce6-induced PDT triggered by an 808 nm near-infrared light, synergistic chemo-photodynamic therapy is achieved, thus leading to a highly efficient anticancer treatment in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, the inherent properties of rare earth ions (Gd3+, Yb3+, and Nd3+) make the nanoplatform possess UCL, MRI, and CT trimode imaging capabilities, thus achieving a multiple imaging modality-guided synergistic therapy.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) plays a central role in photochemical and photobiological research. Although many photosensitizers for efficient 1O2 generation were reported, further improving its yield and oxidation power is still highly desirable. Instead of developing new ones, current photosensitizers might be boosted by mediators to facilitate energy transfer. Taking advantage of the long triplet state lifetime of lanthanide ions (Ln3+), we herein demonstrate their roles as potent oxidation mediators. Using oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) at neutral pH as a difficult model reaction, based on the fluorescence, phosphorescence, and metal-binding properties, various dyes and nanomaterials were classified into four types. The 1O2 emission of carbon dots and rose bengal was enhanced 4 times in the presence of Ce3+. Some nonphosphorescent, but strongly fluorescent dyes that are not known as photosensitizers can still be mediated by Ln3+ to produce 1O2, but metal-chelating calcein was not enhanced. Finally, nonemissive dyes failed to show activity. As mediators, the excited Ln3+ can migrate a long distance and transfer energy to O2, resulting in high 1O2 yield. Since redox-active Ce3+ and Eu3+ had the highest activity, participation of oxidation involving excited lanthanides might be possible too. In addition, Ln3+ also enhanced the activity of graphene quantum dots, graphene oxide, and g-C3N4. Rapid degradation of organic dyes was demonstrated, further supporting a high photocatalytic activity of the Ln3+-mediated system.

Abstract
Dual-modal imaging guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) of multifunctional nanocomposites holds great promise for precision tumor theranostics. However, poor heterogeneous interfacial compatibility between functional components, low hydrophilicity and complicated preparation of nanocomposites remain major obstacles for further bioapplication. Herein, a facile central metal-derived co-assembly strategy is developed to effectively integrate gadolinium porphyrin (GdTPP) contrast agent and Zinc porphyrin (ZnTPP) photosensitizer into a homogeneous GdTPP/ZnTPP nanocomposites (GZNs). GZNs possesses the following advantages: (1) Greatly improved interfacial compatibility facilitated by incorporating two metalporphyrins with same group (phenyl-) and different central metal atoms (Zn and Gd) leading to higher yield (4.7-5 fold) than either monocomponent nanoparticles. (2) Poor dispersity of GdTPP nanoparticles is greatly improved after integrating with ZnTPP blocks. (3) The GZNs inherit excellent fluorescence imaging, high relaxation rate (8.18 mM-1 s-1) and singlet oxygen production from two raw metalporphyrins. After camouflaging with homotypic cancer cell membrane for immunologic escape, the HeLa membrane coated GZNs (mGZNs) show enhanced in vivo MR/FL imaging guided anti-tumor targeting efficiency of 80.6% for HeLa cells. Our new strategy using central metal-derived co-assembly of homogeneous building blocks greatly improves interfacial compatibility to achieve combined functions for visualized cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Effective photosensitizers (PSs) are highly desirable in many applications, such as photodynamic therapy and catalytic chemistry. Here, we demonstrated that vesicles of cucurbit[7]uril (Q[7] or CB[7])-anchored polymers enhanced photosensitization in the nucleus. The polyacrylic acid chain spacer triggered Q[7] polymers on the surfaces of the vesicles at a regular distance, thus not only leading to efficient inhibition of the aggregation induced self-quenching of the porphyrin based cationic PS in aqueous solution but also maintaining the PS at high concentration on the nanoscale via stable host-guest interactions. Further experiments indicated that Q[7] polymer based vesicles as a PS loading vehicle had a high penetration depth, entering the nuclei of cancer cells. Therefore, highly enhanced photosensitization and efficient anticancer effects were achieved.
