Abstract
Exploring highly efficient ultrasound-triggered catalysts is pivotal for various areas. Herein, we presented that Ba2+ doped brookite TiO2 nanorod (TiO2: Ba) with polarization-induced charge separation is a candidate. The replacement of Ba2+ for Ti4+ not only induced significant lattice distortion to induce polarization but also created oxygen vacancy defects for facilitating the charge separation, leading to high-efficiency reactive oxygen species (ROS) evolution in the piezo-catalytic processes. Furthermore, the piezocatalytic ability to degrade dye wastewater demonstrates a rate constant of 0.172 min-1 and achieves a 100 % antibacterial rate at a low dose for eliminating E. coli. This study advances that doping can induce piezoelectricity and reveals that lattice distortion-induced polarization and vacancy defects engineering can improve ROS production, which might impact applications such as water disinfection and sonodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Wound infections are a significant concern in healthcare, leading to long healing times. Traditional approaches for managing wound infections rely heavily on systemic antibiotics, which are associated with the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Therefore, the development of alternative antibacterial materials for wound care has gained considerable attention. In today's world, new generations of wound dressing are commonly used to heal wounds. These new dressings keep the wound and the area around it moist to improve wound healing. However, this moist environment can also foster an environment that is favorable for the growth of bacteria. Excessive antibiotic use poses a significant threat to human health and causes bacterial resistance, so new-generation wound dressings must be designed and developed to reduce the risk of infection. Wound dressings using antimicrobial compounds minimize wound bacterial colonization, making them the best way to avoid open wound infection. We aim to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the latest advancements in antibacterial materials for wound management.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202404395.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have become an effective tool for tumor treatment. The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) takes advantage of various ROS and enhances therapeutic effects. However, the activation of CDT usually occurs before PDT, which hinders the sustained maintenance of hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH) and reduces the treatment efficiency. Herein, we present a light-triggered nano-system based on molecular aggregation regulation for converting cancer therapy from PDT/photothermal therapy (PTT) to a long-lasting CDT. The ordered J-aggregation enhances the photodynamic properties of the cyanine moiety while simultaneously suppressing the chemodynamic capabilities of the copper-porphyrin moiety. Upon light irradiation, Cu-PCy JNPs demonstrate strong photodynamic and photothermal effects. Meanwhile, light triggers a rapid degradation of the cyanine backbone, leading to the destruction of the J-aggregation. As a result, a long-lasting CDT is sequentially activated, and the sustained generation of ⋅OH is observed for up to 48 hours, causing potent cellular oxidative stress and apoptosis. Due to their excellent tumor accumulation, Cu-PCy JNPs exhibit effective in vivo tumor ablation through the converting therapy. This work provides a new approach for effectively prolonging the chemodynamic activity in ROS-based cancer therapy.

Ultrasound-driven radical chain reaction and immunoregulation of piezoelectric-based hybrid coating for treating implant infection. Biomaterials 2024; 307:122532. [PMID: 38493670 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
The poor efficiency of US-responsive coatings on implants restricts their practical application. Immunotherapy that stimulates immune cells to enhance their antibacterial activity is expected to synergize with sonodynamic therapy for treating implant infection effectively and safely. Herein, US-responsive hybrid coatings composed of the oxygen-deficient BaTiO3 nanorod arrays and l-arginine (BaTiO3-x/LA) are designed and prepared on titanium implants for sonocatalytic therapy-cooperated immunotherapy to treat Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. BaTiO3-x/LA can generate more oxidizing reactive oxygen species (ROS, hydroxyl radical (·OH)) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS, peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-)). The construction of nanorod arrays and oxygen defects balances the piezoelectric properties and sonocatalytic capability during US treatment. The generated piezoelectric electric field provides a sufficient driving force to separate electrons and holes, and the oxygen defects attenuate the electron-hole recombination efficiency, consequently increasing the yield of ROS during the US treatment. Moreover, nitric oxide (NO) released by l-arginine reacts with the superoxide radical (·O2-) to produce ONOO-. Since, this radical chain reaction improves the oxidizing ability between bacteria and radicals, the cell membrane (argB, secA2) and DNA (dnaBGXN) are destroyed. The bacterial self-repair mechanism indirectly accelerates bacterial death based on the transcriptome analysis. In addition to participating in the radical chain reaction, NO positively affects macrophage M1 polarization to yield potent phagocytosis to MRSA. As a result, without introducing an extra sonosensitizer, BaTiO3-x/LA exhibits excellent antibacterial activity against MRSA after the US treatment for 15 min. Furthermore, BaTiO3-x/LA facilitates macrophage M2 polarization after implantation and improves osteogenic differentiation. The combined effects of sonodynamic therapy and immunoregulation lead to an effective and safe treatment method for implant-associated infections.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) as a promising non-invasive anti-tumor means features the preferable penetration depth, which nevertheless, usually can't work without sonosensitizers. Sonosensitizers produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of ultrasound to directly kill tumor cells, and concurrently activate anti-tumor immunity especially after integration with tumor microenvironment (TME)-engineered nanobiotechnologies and combined therapy. Current sonosensitizers are classified into organic and inorganic ones, and current most reviews only cover organic sonosensitizers and highlighted their anti-tumor applications. However, there have few specific reviews that focus on inorganic sonosensitizers including their design principles, microenvironment regulation, etc. In this review, inorganic sonosensitizers are first classified according to their design rationales rather than composition, and the action rationales and underlying chemistry features are highlighted. Afterward, what and how TME is regulated based on the inorganic sonosensitizers-based SDT nanoplatform with an emphasis on the TME targets-engineered nanobiotechnologies are elucidated. Additionally, the combined therapy and their applications in non-cancer diseases are also outlined. Finally, the setbacks and challenges, and proposed the potential solutions and future directions is pointed out. This review provides a comprehensive and detailed horizon on inorganic sonosensitizers, and will arouse more attentions on SDT.

Abstract
Cuproptosis, a recently discovered copper-dependent cell death, presents significant potential for the development of copper-based nanoparticles to induce cuproptosis in cancer therapy. Herein, a unique ternary heterojunction, denoted as HACT, composed of core-shell Au@Cu2O nanocubes with surface-deposited Titanium Dioxide quantum dots and modified with hyaluronic acid is introduced. Compared to core-shell AC NCs, the TiO2/Au@Cu2O exhibits improved energy structure optimization, successfully separating electron-hole pairs for redox use. This optimization results in a more rapid generation of singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals triggering oxidative stress under ultrasound radiation. Furthermore, the HACT NCs initiate cuproptosis by Fenton-like reaction and acidic environment, leading to the sequential release of cupric and cuprous ions. This accumulation of copper induces the aggregation of lipoylated proteins and reduces iron-sulfur proteins, ultimately initiating cuproptosis. More importantly, HACT NCs show a tendency to selectively target cancer cells, thereby granting them a degree of biosecurity. This report introduces a ternary heterojunction capable of triggering both cuproptosis and oxidative stress-related combination therapy in a stimulus-responsive manner. It can energize efforts to develop effective melanoma treatment strategies using Cu-based nanoparticles through rational design.

Abstract
Piezoelectric catalysis is a novel catalytic technology that has developed rapidly in recent years and has attracted extensive interest among researchers in the field of tumor therapy for its acoustic-sensitizing properties. Nevertheless, researchers are still controversial about the key technical difficulties in the modulation of piezoelectric sonosensitizers for tumor therapy applications, which is undoubtedly a major obstacle to the performance modulation of piezoelectric sonosensitizers. Clarification of this challenge will be beneficial to the design and optimization of piezoelectric sonosensitizers in the future. Here, the authors start from the mechanism of piezoelectric catalysis and elaborate the mechanism and methods of defect engineering and phase engineering for the performance modulation of piezoelectric sonosensitizers based on the energy band theory. The combined therapeutic strategy of piezoelectric sonosensitizers with enzyme catalysis and immunotherapy is introduced. Finally, the challenges and prospects of piezoelectric sonosensitizers are highlighted. Hopefully, the explorations can guide researchers toward the optimization of piezoelectric sonosensitizers and can be applied in their own research.

Abstract
Neurological diseases are a major global health challenge, affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Ultrasound therapy plays an irreplaceable role in the treatment of neurological diseases due to its noninvasive, highly focused, and strong tissue penetration capabilities. However, the complexity of brain and nervous system and the safety risks associated with prolonged exposure to ultrasound therapy severely limit the applicability of ultrasound therapy. Ultrasound-sensitive intelligent nanosystems (USINs) are a novel therapeutic strategy for neurological diseases that bring greater spatiotemporal controllability and improve safety to overcome these challenges. This review provides a detailed overview of therapeutic strategies and clinical advances of ultrasound in neurological diseases, focusing on the potential of USINs-based ultrasound in the treatment of neurological diseases. Based on the physical and chemical effects induced by ultrasound, rational design of USINs is a prerequisite for improving the efficacy of ultrasound therapy. Recent developments of ultrasound-sensitive nanocarriers and nanoagents are systemically reviewed. Finally, the challenges and developing prospects of USINs are discussed in depth, with a view to providing useful insights and guidance for efficient ultrasound treatment of neurological diseases.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has garnered growing interest owing to its high tissue penetration depth and minimal side effects. However, the lack of efficient sonosensitizers remains the primary limiting factor for the clinical application of this treatment method. Here, defect-repaired graphene phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets are prepared and utilized for enhanced SDT in anti-tumor treatment. After defect engineering optimization, the bulk defects of g-C3N4 are significantly reduced, resulting in higher crystallinity and exhibiting a polyheptazine imide (PHI) structure. Due to the more extended conjugated structure of PHI, facilitating faster charge transfer on the surface, it exhibits superior SDT performance for inducing apoptosis in tumor cells. This work focuses on introducing a novel carbon nitride nanomaterial as a sonosensitizer and a strategy for optimizing sonosensitizer performance by reducing bulk defects.

[PMID: 38610453 PMCID: PMC11014263 DOI: 10.3390/s24072242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Nanozymes possess major advantages in catalysis and biosensing compared with natural nanozymes. In this study, the AuPt@BaTiO3 bimetallic alloy Schottky junction is prepared to act as oxidase mimetics, and its photo-piezoelectric effect is investigated. The synergy between the photo-piezoelectric effect and the local surface plasmon resonance enhances the directional migration and separation of photogenerated electrons, as well as hot electrons induced by the AuPt bimetallic alloy. This synergy significantly improves the oxidase-like activity. A GSH colorimetric detection platform is developed based on this fading principle. Leveraging the photo-piezoelectric effect allows for highly sensitive detection with a low detection limit (0.225 μM) and reduces the detection time from 10 min to 3 min. The high recovery rate (ranging from 99.91% to 101.8%) in actual serum detection suggests promising potential for practical applications. The development of bimetallic alloy heterojunctions presents new opportunities for creating efficient nanozymes.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on intracellular Fenton reaction to produce highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) has played an essential role in tumor therapy. However, this therapy still needs to be improved by weakly acidic pH and over-expression of glutathione (GSH) in tumor microenvironment (TEM), which hinders its future application. Herein, we reported a multifunctional bimetallic composite nanoparticle MnO2@GA-Fe@CAI based on a metal polyphenol network (MPN) structure, which could reduce intracellular pH and endogenous GSH by remodeling tumor microenvironment to improve Fenton activity. MnO2 nanoparticles were prepared first and MnO2@GA-Fe nanoparticles with Fe3+ as central ion and gallic acid (GA) as surface ligands were prepared by the chelation reaction. Then, carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) was coupled with GA to form MnO2@GA-Fe@CAI. The properties of the bimetallic composite nanoparticles were studied, and the results showed that CAI could reduce intracellular pH. At the same time, MnO2 could deplete intracellular GSH and produce Mn2+ via redox reactions, which re-established the TME with low pH and GSH. In addition, GA reduced Fe3+ to Fe2+. Mn2+ and Fe2+ catalyzed the endogenous H2O2 to produce high-lever ROS to kill tumor cells. Compared with MnO2, MnO2@GA-Fe@CAI could reduce the tumor weight and volume for the xenograft MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing mice and the final tumor inhibition rate of 58.09 ± 5.77%, showing the improved therapeutic effect as well as the biological safety. Therefore, this study achieved the high-efficiency CDT effect catalyzed by bimetallic through reshaping the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Traditional Fe-based Fenton reaction for inducing oxidative stress is restricted by random charge transfer without oriental delivery, and the resultant generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is always too simplistic to realize a satisfactory therapeutic outcome. Herein, FeNv/CN nanosheets rich in nitrogen vacancies are developed for high-performance redox dyshomeostasis therapy after surface conjugation with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (cRGD). Surface defects in FeNv/CN serve as electron traps to drive the directional transfer of the excited electrons to Fe atom sites under ultrasound (US) actuation, and the highly elevated electron density promote the catalytic conversion of H2O2 into ·OH. Meanwhile, energy band edges of FeNv/CN favor the production of 1O2 upon interfacial redox chemistry, which is enhanced by the optimal separation/recombination dynamics of electron/hole pairs. Moreover, intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of FeNv/CN contributes to the depletion of reductant glutathione (GSH). Under the anchoring effect of cRGD, PEGylated FeNv/CN can be efficiently enriched in the tumorous region, which is ultrasonically activated for concurrent ROS accumulation and GSH consumption in cytosolic region. The deleterious redox dyshomeostasis not only eradicates primary tumor but also suppresses distant metastasis via antitumor immunity elicitation. Collectively, this study could inspire more facile designs of chalybeates for medical applications.

Abstract
Catalytic therapy based on piezoelectric nanoparticles has become one of the effective strategies to eliminate tumors. However, it is still a challenge to improve the tumor delivery efficiency of piezoelectric nanoparticles, so that they can penetrate normal tissues while specifically aggregating at tumor sites and subsequently generating large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to achieve precise and efficient tumor clearance. In the present study, we successfully fabricated tumor microenvironment-responsive assembled barium titanate nanoparticles (tma-BTO NPs): in the neutral pH environment of normal tissues, tma-BTO NPs were monodisperse and possessed the ability to cross the intercellular space; whereas, the acidic environment of the tumor triggered the self-assembly of tma-BTO NPs to form submicron-scale aggregates, and deposited in the tumor microenvironment. The self-assembled tma-BTO NPs not only caused mechanical damage to tumor cells; more interestingly, they also exhibited enhanced piezoelectric catalytic efficiency and produced more ROS than monodisperse nanoparticles under ultrasonic excitation, attributed to the mutual extrusion of neighboring particles within the confined space of the assembly. tma-BTO NPs exhibited differential cytotoxicity against tumor cells and normal cells, and the stronger piezoelectric catalysis and mechanical damage induced by the assemblies resulted in significant apoptosis of mouse breast cancer cells (4T1); while there was little damage to mouse embryo osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1) under the same treatment conditions. Animal experiments confirmed that peritumoral injection of tma-BTO NPs combined with ultrasound therapy can effectively inhibit tumor progression non-invasively. The tumor microenvironment-responsive self-assembly strategy opens up new perspectives for future precise piezoelectric-catalyzed tumor therapy.

Abstract
Piezocatalytic tumor therapy is an emerging reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating therapeutic approach that relies on piezoelectric polarization under ultrasound (US) irradiation. Optimizing ROS production is a primary objective for enhancing treatment efficiency. In this study, oxygen-vacancy-rich Pd-integrated black barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles are rationally engineered to boost the ROS generation efficiency via the introduction of Pd. Pd-catalyzed hydrogenation at low temperatures narrows the bandgap of BTO and reduces the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs. Furthermore, Pd has dual-enzyme-mimicking characteristics, including peroxidase- and catalase-mimicking activities, which further heighten the therapeutic efficacy by enhancing ROS production and reversing the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Importantly, the dual enzymatic activity of Pd can be amplified by multiple redox processes sparked by the piezoelectric potential under US stimulation, resulting in bilaterally enhanced multienzyme-piezoelectric synergetic therapy. In vitro and in vivo results confirm high tumor inhibition in murine breast cancer cells. This work stresses the critical effects of defect engineering-optimized piezodynamic tumor therapy.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy still suffers from insufficient immune response and adverse effect of ICB antibodies. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has been demonstrated to be an effective way to synergize with ICB therapy. However, a low generation rate of reactive oxygen species and poor tumor penetration of CDT platforms still decline the immune effects. Herein, a charge-reversal nanohybrid Met@BF containing both Fe3O4 and BaTiO3 nanoparticles in the core and Metformin (Met) on the surface was fabricated for tumor microenvironment (TME)- and ultrasound (US)-activated piezocatalysis-chemodynamic immunotherapy of cancer. Interestingly, Met@BF had a negative charge in blood circulation, which was rapidly changed into positive when exposed to acidic TME attributed to quaternization of tertiary amine in Met, facilitating deep tumor penetration. Subsequently, with US irradiation, Met@BF produced H2O2 based on piezocatalysis of BaTiO3, which greatly enhanced the Fenton reaction of Fe3O4, thus boosting robust antitumor immune response. Furthermore, PD-L1 expression was inhibited by the local released Met to further augment the antitumor immune effect, achieving effective inhibitions for both primary and metastatic tumors. Such a combination of piezocatalysis-enhanced chemodynamic therapy and Met-mediated deep tumor penetration and downregulation of PD-L1 provides a promising strategy to augment cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
With the rapid development of external minimally invasive or noninvasive therapeutic modalities, ultrasound-based sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a new alternative for treating deep tumors. However, inadequate sonosensitizer efficiency and poor biosecurity limit clinical applications. In this study, we prepared an oxygen-vacancy-engineered W18 O49-x nanobrush with a band gap of 2.79 eV for highly efficient SDT using a simple solvothermal method. The suitable band structures of the W18 O49-x nanobrush endows it with the potential to simultaneously produce singlet oxygen (1 O2 ), superoxide anions (⋅O2 - ), and hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH) under ultrasound irradiation. Additionally, abundant oxygen vacancies that serve as further charge traps that inhibit electron-hole recombination are incidentally introduced through one-step thermal reduction. Collectively, the in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the oxygen-vacancy-engineered W18 O49-x nanobrush delivers highly efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) for SDT in a very biosafe manner. Overall, this study provides a new avenue for discovering and designing inorganic nanosonosensitizers with enhanced therapeutic efficiencies for use in SDT.

The single-functionality of traditional chemodynamic therapy (CDT) reagents usually limits the therapeutic efficacy of cancer treatment. Synergistic nanocomposites that involve cascade reaction provide a promising strategy to achieve satisfactory anticancer effects. Herein, a cuprous-based nanocomposite (CCS@GOx@HA) is fabricated, which owns the tumor targeting ability and can undergo tumor microenvironment responsive cascade reaction to enhance the tumor therapeutic efficiency significantly. Surface modification of nanocomposite with hyaluronic acid enables the targeted delivery of the nanocomposite to cancer cells. Acid-triggered decomposition of nanocomposite in cancer cell results in the release of Cu+ , Se2- and GOx. The Cu+ improves the Fenton-like reaction with endogenous H2 O2 to generate highly toxic • OH for CDT. While GOx can not only catalyze the in situ generation of endogenous H2 O2 , but also accelerate the consumption of intratumoral glucose to reduce nutrient supply in tumor site. In addition, Se2- further improves the therapeutic effects of CDT by upregulating the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tumor cells. Meanwhile, the surface modification endows the nanocomposite the good water dispersibility and biocompatibility. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate satisfactory anti-cancer therapeutic performance by the synergistic cascade function of CCS@GOx@HA than CDT alone.

Abstract
Non-invasive external energy triggered efficient tumor therapy is a promising specific treatment strategy. Herein, a composite material of bismuth sodium titanate (BNT) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) with piezoelectric effect was designed for the synergistic treatment of breast cancer with near-infrared-II (NIR-II) light and ultrasound (US) activation. The BNT@MoS2 exhibit excellent photothermal and acoustic properties upon excitation by 1060 nm NIR-II laser and US, respectively. The synergistic effect of hyperthermia and reactive oxygen species (ROS) under photoacoustic action endows the BNT@MoS2 with remarkable anti-tumor activities, enabling them to eradicate breast cancer cells within 10 min. The work could provide new insights into the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacterial invasions have imposed a significant global health and economic burden. More worryingly, multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogenic bacteria born under the abuse of antibiotics have further escalated the status quo. Nowadays, at the crossroads of multiple disciplines such as chemistry, nanoscience and biomedicine, nanozymes, as enzyme-mimicking nanomaterials, not only possess excellent bactericidal ability but also reduce the possibility of inducing resistance. Thus, nanozymes are promising to serve as an alternative to traditional antibiotics. Nanozymes that mimic peroxidase (POD) activity are also known as POD nanozymes. In recent years, POD nanozymes have become one of the most frequently reported and effective nanozymes due to their broad-spectrum bactericidal properties and unique sterilization mechanism. In this review, we introduce the mechanism as well as the classification of POD nanozymes. More importantly, to further improve the antibacterial efficacy of POD nanozymes, we elaborate on three aspects: (1) improving the physicochemical properties; (2) regulating the catalytic microenvironment; and (3) designing multimodel POD nanozymes. In addition, we review the nanosafety of POD nanozymes for discussing their potential toxicity. Finally, the remaining challenges of POD nanozymes and possible future directions are discussed. This work provides a systematic summary of POD nanozymes and hopefully contributes to the early clinical translation.

Abstract
Ferroptosis therapy, which uses ferroptosis inducers to produce lethal lipid peroxides and induce tumor cell death, is considered a promising cancer treatment strategy. However, challenges remain regarding how to increase the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) to enhance antitumor efficacy. In this study, a hyaluronic acid (HA) encapsulated hollow mesoporous manganese dioxide (H-MnO2 ) with double-shell nanostructure is designed to contain iron coordinated cyanine near-infrared dye IR783 (IR783-Fe) for synergistic ferroptosis photodynamic therapy against tumors. The nano photosensitizer IR783-Fe@MnO2 -HA, in which HA actively targets the CD44 receptor, subsequently dissociates and releases Fe3+ and IR783 in acidic TME. First, Fe3+ consumes glutathione to produce Fe2+ , which promotes the Fenton reaction in cells to produce hydroxyl free radicals (·OH) and induce ferroptosis of tumor cells. In addition, MnO2 catalyzes the production of O2 from H2 O2 and enhances the production of singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) by IR783 under laser irradiation, thus increasing the production and accumulation of ROS to provide photodynamic therapy. The highly biocompatible IR783-Fe@MnO2 -HA nano-photosensitizers have exhibited tumor-targeting ability and efficient tumor inhibition in vivo due to the synergistic effect of photodynamic and ferroptosis antitumor therapies.

Abstract
Chirality is a prevalent characteristic in nature, where biological systems exhibit a significant preference for specific enantiomers of biomolecules. However, there is a limited exploration into utilizing nanomaterials' chirality to modulate their interactions with intracellular substances. In this study, self-assembled copper-cysteine chiral nanoparticles and explore the influence of their charity on cancer chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are fabricated. Experimental and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation results demonstrate that the copper-l-cysteine chiral nanoparticles (Cu-l-Cys NPs) exhibit a stronger affinity toward l-glutathione (l-GSH) that is overproduced in cancer cells, compared to the copper-d-cysteine enantiomer (Cu-d-Cys NPs). The interaction between Cu-l-Cys NPs and l-GSH triggers a redox reaction that depletes l-GSH and converts Cu2+ into Cu+ . Subsequently, Cu+ catalyzes a Fenton-like reaction, decomposing H2 O2 into highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) for cancer CDT. In vivo, results confirm that Cu-l-Cys NPs with good biocompatibility elicit a pronounced cancer cell death and effectively inhibit tumor growth. This work proposes a new perspective on chirality-enhanced cancer therapy.

Abstract
As a kind of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated therapy, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has attracted great interest in cancer therapy. However, highly efficient and biocompatible sonosensitizers are urgently required to improve the therapeutic efficiency of SDT. In this work, Ti3C2-TiO2 MXenes were controllably synthesized as good sonosensitizers through interface engineering by regulating the dissolved oxygen concentration of the aqueous solution. The as-prepared Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene possessed a narrow band gap of 2.37 eV with promoted charge carrier transformation and efficient electron-hole separation. Compared with pure TiO2 sonosensitizers, the Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene displayed higher US-triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency. In addition, the structurally maintained Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 possessed good photothermal conversion efficiency and the laser irradiation could greatly improve the electron-hole pair separation efficiency to further increase the ROS generation capability. After modification with arginyl-glycyl-aspartic (RGD) peptide, the Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2-RGD could efficiently accumulate in the tumor sites and achieve effective PTT enhanced SDT to eliminate tumors after intravenous injection without causing appreciable long-term toxicity. Therefore, this work presented a new way to construct safe sonosensitizers for enhanced SDT and the as-prepared Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2-RGD displayed good potential for further clinical translation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To achieve superior tumor treatment, the nanosized TiO2/Ti3C2 heterostructure was controllably synthesized through interface engineering by regulating the dissolved oxygen concentration of the aqueous solution using inert gas. The oxidation-optimized Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene possessed good sonodynamic performance with a narrow band gap of 2.37 eV and good photothermal conversion efficiency of 47.3% with structurally maintained Ti3C2 MXene. Additionally, the laser irradiation could greatly improve the electron-hole pair separation efficiency to further boost sonodynamic performance of Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene. Encouragingly, the Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2-RGD could efficiently accumulate in the tumor sites and achieve effective PTT enhanced SDT to eliminate tumors.

Abstract
Ferroptosis has attracted much attention for tumor treatment. It has been recently identified that castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is vulnerable to ferroptosis inducers. Notably, chemodynamic therapy (CDT), triggered by metal ions, could easily induce ferroptosis via a Fenton/Fenton-like reaction, but its efficiency was highly dependent on the intracellular H2O2 concentration, posing significant changes for its clinical translation. Herein, we attached glucose oxidase (GOx) onto the surface of manganese sulfide (MnS) and developed therapeutic nanocomposites (Lpo@MnS-GOx) after encapsulating with liposome. Upon internalization by cancer cells, the released GOx could transform glucose into gluconic acid (GA) and H2O2. Notably, the generated GA stimulates the degradation of MnS, followed by the promotion of the release of H2S and Mn2+, whereas the produced H2O2 can amplify the Fenton-like response initiated by Mn2+. The enhanced CDT combined with the gas therapy effect could simultaneously promote the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and finally induce ferroptosis and exhibit an excellent anti-tumor effect. Consequently, these Lpo@MnS-GOx NPs with enhanced ferroptosis-induced effect will find great potential for CRPC cancer treatment.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy is an emerging noninvasive tumor treatment method that utilizes ultrasound to stimulate sonosensitizers to produce a large amount of reactive oxygen species, inducing tumor cell death. Though sonodynamic therapy has very promising prospects in cancer treatment, the application of early organic sonosensitizers has been limited in efficacy due to the high blood clearance-rate, poor water solubility, and low stability. Inorganic sonosensitizers have thus been developed, among which piezoelectric semiconductor materials have received increasing attention in sonodynamic therapy due to their piezoelectric properties and strong stability. In this review, we summarized the designs, principles, modification strategies, and applications of several commonly used piezoelectric materials in sonodynamic therapy and prospected the future clinical applications for piezoelectric semiconductor materials in sonodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Bacterial infection-related diseases are a serious issue that threatens human health, and it is highly desirable to develop a high-performance antibacterial agent to combat it. Herein, copper/cobalt-based metal sulfide nanoparticles (CCS NPs) as a new kind of antibacterial nanozyme were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method. Owing to its rich chemical states, the CCS NPs with intrinsic peroxidase- and oxidase-like activities could generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to exert bactericidal capacity. The CCS NPs could also rapidly deplete glutathione (GSH) to aggravate the oxidative stress in bacteria, thus enhancing the sterilization effect. The results showed that, with the assistance of H2O2 at low concentrations, CCS NPs possessing peroxidase-like, oxidase-like, and GSH depletion activities could achieve remarkable antibacterial effects in vitro. The in vivo implantation demonstrated that CCS NPs with triple enzyme-like activities had efficient bacteria elimination and good biocompatibility in treating bacteria-infected wounds, indicating its wide potential application in the non-antibiotic treatment of bacteria-infected wounds.

Abstract
The efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) mainly relies on the sonosensitizers, which generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon ultrasound (US) stimulation. However, the limited availability of high-efficiency sonosensitizers hampers the therapeutic effectiveness of SDT as a standalone modality. In this work, a robust sonodynamic and gas cancer therapeutic platform is constructed based on strontium (Sr) doped barium titanate (BST) piezoelectric nanoparticles functionalized with L-arginine (BST@LA). The doping of Sr into A site of the ABO3 piezoelectric nanocrystals not only introduces oxygen vacancies into the nanoparticles and enhance the intrinsic piezoelectricity, but also narrows the semiconductor band gap and enhances charge carrier migration, all of which facilitate the sonodynamic production of superoxide anion (•O2 - ) and hydroxyl radical (•OH). In addition, the generated ROS promotes the decomposition of the surface-tethered LA, enabling the controlled release of nitric oxide (NO) gas at the tumor site, thereby achieving a combination therapeutic effect. In vivo experiments exhibit remarkable tumor suppression rate (89.5%) in 4T1 tumor mice model, demonstrating the effectiveness of this strategy. The ion doping and oxygen vacancy engineering to improve sonosensitizers, along with the synergistic combination of sonodynamic and gas therapy, provides promising avenues for improving cancer therapy.

Abstract
Piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric materials are considered unique biomedical materials due to their dielectric crystals and asymmetric centers that allow them to directly convert various primary forms of energy in the environment, such as sunlight, mechanical energy, and thermal energy, into secondary energy, such as electricity and chemical energy. These materials possess exceptional energy conversion ability and excellent catalytic properties, which have led to their widespread usage within biomedical fields. Numerous biomedical applications have demonstrated great potential with these materials, including disease treatment, biosensors, and tissue engineering. For example, piezoelectric materials are used to stimulate cell growth in bone regeneration, while pyroelectric materials are applied in skin cancer detection and imaging. Ferroelectric materials have even found use in neural implants that record and stimulate electrical activity in the brain. This paper reviews the relationship between ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and pyroelectric effects and the fundamental principles of different catalytic reactions. It also highlights the preparation methods of these three materials and the significant progress made in their biomedical applications. The review concludes by presenting key challenges and future prospects for efficient catalysts based on piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Treating cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine, with traditional treatment options often being limited by poor therapeutic outcomes and unacceptable side effects. Nanocatalytic therapy activates tumor-localized catalytic reactions in situ via nontoxic or minimally toxic nanocatalysts responding to unique cues from the tumor microenvironment or external stimuli. In particular, sonocatalytic cancer therapy is a promising approach that has emerged as a potential solution to this problem through the combination of ultrasound waves and catalytic materials to selectively target and destroy cancer cells. Compared to light, ultrasound exhibits higher spatial precision, lower energy attenuation, and superior tissue penetrability, furnishing more energy to catalysts. Multidimensional modulation of nanocatalyst structures and properties is pivotal to maximizing catalytic efficiency given constraints in external stimulative energy as well as substrate types and levels. In this review, we discuss the various theories and mechanisms underlying sonocatalytic cancer therapy, as well as advanced catalysts that have been developed for this application. Additionally, we explore the design of sonocatalytic cancer therapy systems, including the use of heterojunction catalysts and the optimal conditions for achieving maximum therapeutic effects. Finally, we highlight the potential benefits of sonocatalytic cancer therapy over traditional cancer treatments, including its noninvasive nature and lower toxicity.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in regulating the metabolism of tumor growth, metastasis, death and other biological processes. ROS-based nanodynamic therapies (NDTs) are becoming attractive due to non-invasive, low side effects and tumor-specific advantages. NDTs have rapidly developed into numerous branches, such as photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy and so on. However, the complexity of the tumor microenvironment and the limitations of existing sensitizers have greatly restricted the therapeutic effects of NDTs, which heavily rely on ROS levels. To address the limitations of NDTs, various strategies have been developed to increase ROS yield, which is an urgent aspect for the positive development of NDTs. In this review, the nanodynamic potentiation strategies in terms of unique properties and universalities of NDTs are comprehensively outlined. We mainly summarize the current dilemmas faced by each NDT and the respective solutions. Meanwhile, the NDTs universalities-based potentiation strategies and NDTs-based combined treatments are elaborated. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the key issues and challenges faced in the development and clinical transformation of NDTs.

Abstract
Burgeoning is an evolution from conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT). Thus, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) regulated by nanoparticles (NPs) possesses multiple advantages, including stronger penetration ability, better biological safety, and not reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent tumor-killing effect. However, the limitation to tumor inhibition instead of shrinkage and the incapability of eliminating metastatic tumors hinder the clinical potential for SDT. Fortunately, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) can revive immunological function and induce a long-term immune memory against tumor rechallenges. Hence, synergizing NPs-based SDT with ICB can provide a promising therapeutic outcome for solid tumors. Herein, we briefly reviewed the progress in NPs-based SDT and ICB therapy. We highlighted the synergistic anti-tumor mechanisms and summarized the representative preclinical trials on SDT-assisted immunotherapy. Compared to other reviews, we provided comprehensive and unique perspectives on the innovative sonosensitizers in each trial. Moreover, we also discussed the current challenges and future corresponding solutions.

Abstract
The recent focus on P(VDF-TrFE) material in biomedical engineering stems from its outstanding mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, its application in sono-piezo dynamic therapy (SPDT) has been relatively unexplored. In this study, we developed composite piezoelectric nanoparticles (rPGd NPs@RGD) based on recrystallized P(VDF-TrFE) particles, which offer dual capabilities of MRI imaging and targeted treatment for brain gliomas. SEM observations of P(VDF-TrFE) particles in the disordered convolution region (DCR) revealed recrystallization, representing the polymer chain structure and particle polarity. In comparison to nonrecrystallized nanoparticles, rPGd NPs@RGD exhibited remarkable stability and biocompatibility. Under ultrasound excitation, they generated significantly higher levels of reactive oxygen species, effectively inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. rPGd NPs@RGD demonstrated excellent MRI imaging capabilities and antitumor activity in U87 tumor-bearing mice. This study highlights the remarkable SPDT abilities of the developed nanoparticles, attributed to the microscopic morphological changes in the DCR that increase the nanoparticle's polarity and thus boost its potential for SPDT. This research opens new possibilities for utilizing P(VDF-TrFE) materials in advanced biomedical applications.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging treatment method. In comparison with photodynamic therapy (PDT), SDT exhibits deep penetration, high cell membrane permeability, and free exposure to light capacity. Unfortunately, owing to inappropriate ultrasound parameter selection, poor targeting of sonosensitizers, and the complex tumor environment, SDT is frequently ineffective. In this review, we describe the approaches for selecting ultrasound parameters and how to develop sonosensitizers to increase targeting and improve adverse tumor microenvironments. Furthermore, the potential of combining SDT with other treatment methods, such as chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and immunotherapy, is discussed to further increase the treatment efficiency of SDT.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a physical therapy that utilizes critical sonosensitizers triggered by ultrasound to achieve an effective non-invasive tumor treatment. However, the inadequate sonodynamic efficacy and low responsive activities of traditional inorganic sonosensitizers have hindered its practical application. Here, we rationally design a platinum-zinc oxide (PtZnO) sonosensitizer to significantly enhance the efficacy of SDT through its inherent bandgap structure and dual-nanozyme activities. The PtZnO possesses a narrow bandgap (2.89 eV) and an appropriate amount of oxygen defects, which promote the efficiency of electrons and holes separation and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under US irradiation. Simultaneously, the PtZnO exhibits both catalase-like and peroxidase-like activities, which effectively catalyze endogenous H2O2 into a large number of O2 and toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thus achieving an efficient enhancement of SDT and catalytic therapy. Moreover, the PtZnO has significant glutathione consumption performance, further amplifying the oxidative stress. Ultimately, the PtZnO achieves a triple ROS amplification effect, with the yields of singlet oxygen (1O2) and •OH reaching 859.1 % and 614.4 %, respectively, inducing a highly effective sono-catalytic therapy with a remarkable tumor inhibition rate of 98.1 %. This study expands the application of ZnO semiconductor heterojunctions in the nanomedicine area, and the simple yet efficient design of the PtZnO provides a strategy for the development of sonosensitizers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A platinum-zinc oxide (PtZnO) heterojunction sonosensitizer is constructed with dual-nanozyme activities and achieves a triple ROS amplification effect, leading to an efficient synergistic sono-catalytic therapy. The PtZnO owns an inherent narrow bandgap and abundant oxygen defects, thus exhibiting an efficient sonosensitizer performance. It also possesses both catalase-like and peroxidase-like activities, which effectively catalyze the endogenous H2O2 into a large quantity of O2 and toxic hydroxyl radicals, thereby enhancing the SDT and catalytic therapy. Furthermore, its prominent glutathione consumption performance further amplifies oxidative stress. The yields of singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals reach up to 859.1 % and 614.4 %, respectively, inducing a highly effective sono-catalytic therapy with an impressive tumor inhibition rate of 98.1 %.

Abstract
Among the emerging cancer therapeutic methods, nanocatalytic therapy through the rational design of nanozymes is considered to be a promising strategy. However, high-performance nanozymes with the ability to catalyze the production of toxic substances to efficiently kill cancer cells are still highly desired. Herein, we fabricate bismuth nanoclusters loaded on nitrogen-doped porous carbon (Bi-NC) as a nanozyme for cancer therapy. The Bi-NC nanozyme displays both peroxidase (POD) and glutathione oxidase (GSHOx) biomimetic enzymatic activities, especially in a tumor microenvironment (TME), which catalyzes the production of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and depletes antioxidant glutathione (GSH), simultaneously. Moreover, Bi-NC exhibits good photothermal conversion performance under near-infrared light irradiation. After surface modification with hyaluronic acid (HA) to improve the dispersity of nanoparticles and their accumulation in tumor tissues, Bi-NC@HA exhibits remarkable antitumor effects through the synergistic effect of catalytic and photothermal therapy. This work provides a new pathway for designing high-performance nanozymes for cancer catalytic therapy.

Acta Biomater 2023; 170:496-506. [PMID: 37660961 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.08.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
Nanozyme-based catalytic therapy is an effective method for cancer treatment, but insufficient catalytic activity presents a challenge in achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes. External light can provide an innovative approach to modulate nanozyme catalytic activity. Herein, we report on plasmonic gold nanobipyramid@cuprous oxide (Au NBP@Cu2O) nanozyme for the effective phototherapy of breast cancer. In the tumor microenvironment, Cu+-mediated Fenton-like reaction catalyzes the generation of toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) from endogenous hydrogen peroxide to induce apoptosis. Additionally, the Au NBP@Cu2O nanostructure improves the absorption performance of Au NBPs in the near-infrared II region through near-field enhancement of equipartite exciters and achieves a high photothermal conversion efficiency value of 58%. Remarkably, the Au NBP@Cu2O nanoheterostructure can capture hot electrons induced by equipartition excitations and promote electron-hole separation under 1064 nm laser irradiation, facilitating the production of more reactive oxygen species (ROS). The mechanism behind this enhanced catalytic activity was unraveled using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Both in vitro and in vivo investigations have demonstrated the efficacious tumor therapeutic potential of Au NBP@Cu2O nanozyme, particularly under 1064 nm laser irradiation. Furthermore, the proposed therapeutic approach has been proved to effectively block tumor metastasis, providing a promising strategy for the development of multifunctional nanotherapeutics to tackle metastatic tumors. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A highly effective plasmonic nanozyme has been developed to improve catalytic therapy for breast cancer. When exposed to 1064 nm laser irradiation, Au NBP@Cu2O nanozyme can promote the separation of hot electrons and holes thereby facilitating the production of reactive oxygen species. Hot electrons transfer behavior is unveiled by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy technique. This enhanced catalytic activity, along with the intrinsic photothermal effect, effectively kills tumor cells.

Abstract
This perspective article emphasizes the significant role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in in vivo remedial therapy of various diseases and complications, capitalizing on their potential reactivity. Among the various influencers, herein, piezoelectric materials driven ROS generation activity is primarily considered. Intrinsic non-centrosymmetry of piezoelectric materials makes them suitable for distinct dipole formation in the presence of external mechanical stimuli. Such characteristics prompt the positioning of opposite charged carriers to execute associated redox transformations that effectively participate to generate ROS in the aqueous media of the cell cytoplasm, organelles and nucleus. The immense reactivity of piezoelectric material driven ROS is fostered to terminate cellular toxicity or curtail tumor cell growth, due to their higher specificity. This perspective considers the conjugated performance of piezoelectric materials and ultrasound which can remotely generate electrical charges that promote ROS production for therapeutic application. In particular, a substantial synopsis is provided for the remedial activity of numerous piezocatalytic materials in tumor cell apoptosis, antibacterial treatment, dental care and neurological disorders. Subsequently, the report precisely demonstrates the methods involving various spectrophotometric approaches for the analysis of the ROS. Finally, the key challenges of piezoelectric material-based therapy are discussed and systematic future progress is outlined.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging targeted treatment technique for tumors via the generation of highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radical (·OH) governed by tumor microenvironment-assisted Fenton reaction. Despite high effectiveness, it faces limitations like low reaction efficiency and limited endogenous H2 O2 , compromising its therapeutic efficacy. This study reports a novel platform with enhanced CDT performance by in situ sono-activated cascade Fenton reaction. A piezoelectric g-C3 N4 (Au-Fe-g-C3 N4 ) nanosheet is developed via sono-activated synergistic effect/H2 O2 self-supply mediated cascade Fenton reaction, realizing in situ ultrasound activated cascade Fenton reaction kinetics by synergistic modulation of electron-hole separation. The nanosheets consist of piezoelectric g-C3 N4 nanosheet oxidizing H2 O to highly reactive H2 O2 from the valence band, Fe3+ /Fe2+ cycling activated by conduction band to generate ·OH, and Au nanoparticles that lower the bandgap and further adopt electrons to generate more 1 O2 , resulting in improved CDT and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Moreover, the Au-Fe-g-C3 N4 nanosheet is further modified by the targeted peptide to obtain P-Au-Fe-g-C3 N4 , which inhibits tumor growth in vivo effectively by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). These results demonstrated that the sono-activated modulation translates into a high-efficiency CDT with a synergistic effect using SDT for improved anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-involved tumor therapeutic strategy, chemodynamic therapy (CDT), has attracted extensive research interest in the scientific community. However, the therapeutic effect of CDT is insufficient and unsustainable owing to the limited endogenous H2 O2 level in the tumor microenvironment. Here, peroxidase (POD)-like RuTe2 nanozyme with the immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) and allochroic 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) molecule have been synthesized to construct RuTe2 -GOx-TMB nanoreactors (RGT NRs) as cascade reaction systems for tumor-specific and self-replenishing cancer therapy. GOx in sequential nanocatalysts can effectively deplete glucose in tumor cells. Meanwhile, a sustainable supply of H2 O2 for subsequent Fenton-like reactions catalyzed by RuTe2 nanozyme is achieved in response to the mild acidic tumor microenvironment. Through this cascade reaction, highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) are produced, which can further oxidize TMB to trigger tumor-specific "turn-on" photothermal therapy (PTT). In addition, PTT and massive ROS can stimulate the tumor immune microenvironment and activate the systematic anti-tumor immune responses, exerting a notable effect on hindering tumor recurrence and metastasis. This study paves a promising paradigm for synergistic starvation therapy, PTT, and CDT cancer therapy with high efficiency.

Abstract
Graphdiyne has excellent potential due to its enzymatic properties. Metal-free sulfur-doped Graphdiyne (S-GDY) has piezoelectric characteristics, and ultrasonic excitation of S-GDY enhances peroxidase activity. It can turn hydrogen peroxide into toxic hydroxyl radicals and induce apoptosis in 4T1 cells. More importantly, the ultrasound (US) enhanced nanozyme induced 4T1 cell ferroptosis by promoting an imbalanced redox reaction due to glutathione depletion and glutathione peroxidase 4 inactivation. S-GDY exhibited enhanced nanozyme activity in vitro and in vivo that may directly trigger apoptosis-ferroptosis for effective tumor therapy. Altogether, this study was expected to provide new insights into the design of piezoelectric catalytic nanozyme and expand their application in the catalytic therapy of tumors.

Abstract
The exogenous excitation requirement and electron-hole recombination are the key elements limiting the application of catalytic therapies. Here a tumor microenvironment (TME)-specific self-triggered thermoelectric nanoheterojunction (Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3/CaO2 nanosheets, BST/CaO2 NSs) with self-built-in electric field facilitated charge separation is fabricated. Upon exposure to TME, the CaO2 coating undergoes rapid hydrolysis, releasing Ca2+, H2O2, and heat. The resulting temperature difference on the BST NSs initiates a thermoelectric effect, driving reactive oxygen species production. H2O2 not only serves as a substrate supplement for ROS generation but also dysregulates Ca2+ channels, preventing Ca2+ efflux. This further exacerbates calcium overload-mediated therapy. Additionally, Ca2+ promotes DC maturation and tumor antigen presentation, facilitating immunotherapy. It is worth noting that the CaO2 NP coating hydrolyzes very slowly in normal cells, releasing Ca2+ and O2 without causing any adverse effects. Tumor-specific self-triggered thermoelectric nanoheterojunction combined catalytic therapy, ion interference therapy, and immunotherapy exhibit excellent antitumor performance in female mice.

Abstract
The rapid development of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) provides a promising strategy for treating deep-seated multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infection. However, the extreme scarcity of biologically functional and highly efficient sonosensitizers severely limits the further clinical practice of SDT. Herein, the lattice-strain-rich Ti3C2 (LS-Ti3C2) with greatly improved sonosensitizing effect is one-step synthesized using Ti3C2 and meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (TCPP) by the solvothermal method for realizing extraordinary SDT. The intervention of TCPP causes all the Ti-O chemical bonds and most of the Ti-F chemical bonds on the surface layer of Ti3C2 to break down. The amino groups of TCPP are then recombined with these exposed Ti atoms to perturb the order of the Ti atoms, resulting in displacement of the Ti atoms and final lattice structural distortion of Ti3C2. The inherent lattice strain narrows the band gap of Ti3C2, which mainly facilitates the electron-hole pair separation and electron transfer under ultrasound irradiation, thereby resulting in US-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the subsequent robust bactericidal capability (99.77 ± 0.16%) against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Overall, this research offers a perspective into the development of Ti-familial sonosensitizers toward SDT practice.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is regarded as a new-rising strategy for cancer treatment with low invasiveness and high tissue penetration, but the scarcity of high-efficiency sonosensitizers has seriously hindered its application. Herein, the iron-doped and oxygen-deficient bismuth tungstate nanosheets (BWO-Fe NSs) with piezotronic effect are synthesized for enhanced SDT. Due to the existence of oxygen defects introduced through Fe doping, the bandgap of BWO-Fe is significantly narrowed so that BWO-Fe can be more easily activated by exogenous ultrasound (US). The oxygen defects acting as the electron traps inhibit the recombination of US-induced electrons and holes. More importantly, the dynamically renewed piezoelectric potential facilitates the migration of electrons and holes to opposite side and causes energy band bending, which further promotes the production of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, Fe doping endows BWO-Fe with Fenton reactivity, which converts hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) in tumor microenvironment into hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thereby amplifying the cellular oxidative damage and enhancing SDT. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments illustrate their high cytotoxicity and tumor suppression rate against refractory breast cancer in mice. This work may provide an alternative strategy to develop oxygen-deficient piezoelectric sonosensitizers for enhanced SDT via doping metal ions.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023:e2300456. [PMID: 37193644 PMCID: PMC10375146 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202300456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
The tumor-suppressing efficacy of either chemotherapeutics or gaseous drugs has been confirmed in treating the triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), while the efficacy of single treatment is usually dissatisfactory. Herein, a novel ultrasound responsive natural pollen delivery system is presented to simultaneously load chemotherapeutics and gaseous drugs for synergistic treatment of TNBC. The hollow structure of pollen grains carries oxygen-enriched perfluorocarbon (PFC), and the porous spinous process structure adsorbs the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) (PO/D-PGs). Ultrasound can trigger the oxygen release from PFC and excite DOX, which is not only a chemotherapeutic but also a sonosensitizer, to realize chemo-sonodynamic therapy. The PO/D-PGs are demonstrated to effectively enhance oxygen concentration and increase the production of reactive oxygen species in the presence of low-intensity ultrasound, synergistically enhancing the tumor killing ability. Thus, the synergistic therapy based on ultrasound-facilitated PO/D-PGs significantly enhances the antitumor effect in the mouse TNBC model. It is believed that the proposed natural pollen cross-state microcarrier can be used as an effective strategy to enhance chemo-sonodynamic therapy for TNBC.

Abstract
Implant-associated infections (IAI) are great challenges to medical healthcare and human wellness, yet current clinical treatments are limited to the use of antibiotics and physical removal of infected tissue or the implant. Inspired by the protein/membrane complex structure and its generation of reactive oxygen species in the mitochondria respiration process of immune cells during bacteria invasion, we herein propose a metal/piezoelectric nanostructure embedded on the polymer implant surface to achieve efficient piezocatalysis for combating IAI. The piezoelectricity-enabled local electron discharge and the induced oxidative stress generated at the implant-bacteria interface can efficiently inhibit the activity of the attachedStaphylococcus aureusby cell membrane disruption and sugar energy exhaustion, possess high biocompatibility, and eliminate the subcutaneous infection by simply applying the ultrasound stimulation. For further demonstration, the treatment of root canal reinfection with simplified procedures has been achieved by using piezoelectric gutta-percha implanted in ex vivo human teeth. This surface-confined piezocatalysis antibacterial strategy, which takes advantage of the limited infection interspace, easiness of polymer processing, and noninvasiveness of sonodynamic therapy, has potential applications in IAI treatment.

Abstract
Electric stimulation has been used in changing the morphology, status, membrane permeability, and life cycle of cells to treat certain diseases such as trauma, degenerative disease, tumor, and infection. To minimize the side effects of invasive electric stimulation, recent studies attempt to apply ultrasound to control the piezoelectric effect of nano piezoelectric material. This method not only generates an electric field but also utilizes the benefits of ultrasound such as non-invasive and mechanical effects. In this review, important elements in the system, piezoelectricity nanomaterial and ultrasound, are first analyzed. Then, we summarize recent studies categorized into five kinds, nervous system diseases treatment, musculoskeletal tissues treatment, cancer treatment, anti-bacteria therapy, and others, to prove two main mechanics under activated piezoelectricity: one is biological change on a cellular level, the other is a piezo-chemical reaction. However, there are still technical problems to be solved and regulation processes to be completed before widespread use. The core problems include how to accurately measure piezoelectricity properties, how to concisely control electricity release through complex energy transfer processes, and a deeper understanding of related bioeffects. If these problems are conquered in the future, piezoelectric nanomaterials activated by ultrasound will provide a new pathway and realize application in disease treatment.

Abstract
The regulation of electrostatic electric fields through electrical stimulation is an efficient method to increase the catalytic activity of nanozymes and improve the therapeutic effect of nanozyme catalytic therapy. Piezoelectric materials, which are capable of generating a built-in electric field under ultrasound (US), not only improve the activity of nanozymes but also enable piezoelectric sonodynamic therapy (SDT). In this study, a sonosensitizer based on a Hf-based metal-organic framework (UIO-66) and Au nanoparticles (NPs) was produced. Under US irradiation, UIO-66 can generate a built-in electric field inside the materials, which promotes electron-hole separation and produces reactive oxygen species (ROS). The introduction of Au NPs facilitated the electron transfer, which inhibited the recombination of the electron-hole pairs and improved the piezoelectric properties of UIO-66. The value of the piezoelectric constant (d33) increased from 71 to 122 pmV-1 after the deposition of Au NPs. In addition, the intrinsic catalase and peroxidase activities of the Au NPs were increased 2-fold after the stimulation from the built-in electric field induced through US exposure. In vivo and in vitro experiments revealed that the proposed sonosensitizer can kill cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth in mice through the enhanced piezoelectric SDT and nanozyme catalytic therapy. The piezoelectric sensitizer proposed in this work proved to be an efficient candidate that can be used for multiple therapeutic modalities in tumor therapy.

Abstract
Endogenous electric field is ubiquitous in a multitude of important living activities such as bone repair, cell signal transduction, and nerve regeneration, signifying that regulating the electric field in organisms is highly beneficial to maintain organism health. As an emerging and promising research direction, piezoelectric nanomedicine and materdicine precisely activated by ultrasound with synergetic advantages of deep tissue penetration, remote spatiotemporal selectivity, and mechanical-electrical energy interconversion, have been progressively utilized for disease treatment and tissue repair by participating in the modulation of endogenous electric field. This specific nanomedicine utilizing piezoelectric effect activated by ultrasound is typically regarded as "sonopiezoelectric nanomedicine". This comprehensive review summarizes and discusses the substantially employed sonopiezoelectric nanomaterials and nanotherapies to provide an insight into the internal mechanism of the corresponding biological behavior/effect of sonopiezoelectric biomaterials in versatile disease treatments. This review primarily focuses on the sonopiezoelectric biomaterials for biosensing, drug delivery, tumor therapy, tissue regeneration, antimicrobia, and further illuminates the underlying sonopiezoelectric mechanism. In addition, the challenges and developments/prospects of sonopiezoelectric nanomedicine are analyzed for promoting the further clinical translation. It is earnestly expected that this kind of nanomedicine/biomaterials-enabled sonopiezoelectric technology will provoke the comprehensive investigation and promote the clinical development of the next-generation multifunctional materdicine.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive catalytic therapy based on nano-catalysts has attracted much attention in the field of biomedicine for tumor therapy, due to its excellent and unique properties. However, the complex tumor microenvironment conditions and the rapid charge recombination in the catalyst limit catalytic therapy's effectiveness and further development. Effective heterojunction nanomaterials are constructed to address these problems to improve catalytic performance. Specifically, on the one hand, the band gap of the material is adjusted through the heterojunction structure to promote the charge separation efficiency under exogenous stimulation and further improve the catalytic capacity. On the other hand, the construction of a heterojunction structure can not only preserve the function of the original catalyst but also achieve significantly enhanced synergistic therapy ability. This review summarized the construction and functions of stimuli-responsive heterojunction nanomaterials under the excitation of X-rays, visible-near infrared light, and ultrasound in recent years, and further introduces their application in cancer therapy. Hopefully, the summary of stimuli-responsive heterojunction nanomaterials' applications will help researchers promote the development of nanomaterials in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Malignant tumors are one of the main diseases leading to death, and the vigorous development of nanotechnology has opened up new frontiers for antitumor therapy. Currently, researchers are focused on solving the biomedical challenges associated with traditional anti-tumor medical methods, promoting the research and development of nano-drug carriers and new nano-drugs, which brings great hope for improving the curative effect and reducing toxic and side effects. Among the new systems being investigated, piezoelectric nano biomaterials, including ferroelectrics, piezoelectric and pyroelectric materials, have recently received extensive attention for antitumor applications. By coupling force, light, magnetism or heat and electricity, polarized charges are generated in these materials microscopically, forming a piezo-potential and establishing a built-in electric field. Polarized charges can directly act on the materials in the tumor micro-environment and also assist in the separation of carriers and inhibit recombination based on piezoelectric theory and piezoelectric optoelectronic theory. Based on this, piezoelectric materials convert various forms of primary energy (such as light energy, mechanical energy, thermal energy and magnetic energy) from the surrounding environment into secondary energy (such as electrical energy and chemical energy). Herein, we review the basic theory and principles of piezoelectric materials, pyroelectric materials and ferroelectric materials as nanomedicine. Then, we summarize the types of piezoelectric materials reported to date and their wide applications in treatment, imaging, device construction and probe detection in various tumor treatment fields. Based on this, we discuss the relevant characteristics and post-processing strategies of nano piezoelectric biomaterials to obtain the maximum piezoelectric response. Finally, we present the key challenges and future prospects for the development of ferroelectric, piezoelectric and pyroelectric nanomaterial-based nanoagents for efficient energy harvesting and conversion for desirable therapeutic outcomes.
