Abstract
Cuproptosis, as a newly identified form of programmed cell death, shows great promise in cancer treatment. Efficient Cu+ delivery while avoiding systemic toxicity and elimination of the resistance from over-expressed intracellular copper chelator glutathione (GSH) are critical for cuproptosis. Herein, this work innovatively constructs a biocompatible and defect-rich copper hydroxide nanowire (HCu nanowire) through a human serum albumin (HSA) mediated biomineralization method. This work finds that the morphology and size of HCu nanowires can be controlled adjusted by the feed ratio of HSA and Cu2+. Remarkably, except for outstanding biocompatibility, HSA coordination endows HCu nanowires abundant oxygen vacancies (OVs), and the defect-rich HCu nanowire possesses excellent GSH consumption efficiency. Density functional theory studies indicate that OVs change GSH absorption energy on defective HCu nanowires. In cancer cells, HCu nanowires deplete GSH and simultaneously produce sufficient free Cu+ for enhanced cuproptosis. Meanwhile, Cu+ can catalyze endogenous H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals (·OH) via a Fenton-like reaction. Thus, synergetic cuproptosis and ROS mediated apoptosis against tumor are achieved. The experimental results show that HCu nanowires have a better performance in both antitumor efficiency and safety compared with chemotherapeutic drug Dox at the same dose, demonstrating its great potential in clinical applications.

Abstract
The selective electrocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene (NB) to aniline demands a desirable cathodic catalyst to overcome the challenges of the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), a higher overpotential, and a lower selectivity. Here, we deposit Co-doped 1T MoS2 on Ti mesh by the solvothermal method with different doping percentages of Co as x % Co-MoS2 (where x = 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12%). Because of the lowest overpotential, lower charge-transfer resistance, strong suppression of the competing HER, and higher electrochemical surface area, 8% Co-MoS2 achieves 94% selectivity of aniline with 54% faradaic efficiency. The reduction process follows first-order dynamics with a reaction coefficient of 0.5 h-1. Besides, 8% Co-MoS2 is highly stable and retains 81% selectivity even after 8 cycles. Mechanistic studies showed that the selective and exothermic adsorption of the nitro group at x % Co-MoS2 leads to a higher rate of NB reduction and higher selectivity of aniline. The aniline product is successfully removed from the solution by polymerization at FTO. This study signifies the impact of doping metal atoms in tuning the electronic arrangement of 1T-MoS2 for the facilitation of organic transformations.

Abstract
Purpose Current treatment approaches for Prostate cancer (PCa) often come with debilitating side effects and limited therapeutic outcomes. There is urgent need for an alternative effective and safe treatment for PCa. Methods We developed a nanoplatform to target prostate cancer cells based on graphdiyne (GDY) and a copper-based metal-organic framework (GDY-CuMOF), that carries the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX) for cancer treatment. Moreover, to provide GDY-CuMOF@DOX with homotypic targeting capability, we coated the PCa cell membrane (DU145 cell membrane, DCM) onto the surface of GDY-CuMOF@DOX, thus obtaining a biomimetic nanoplatform (DCM@GDY-CuMOF@DOX). The nanoplatform was characterized by using transmission electron microscope, atomic force microscope, X-ray diffraction, etc. Drug release behavior, antitumor effects in vivo and in vitro, and biosafety of the nanoplatform were evaluated. Results We found that GDY-CuMOF exhibited a remarkable capability to load DOX mainly through π-conjugation and pore adsorption, and it responsively released DOX and generated Cu+ in the presence of glutathione (GSH). In vivo experiments demonstrated that this nanoplatform exhibits remarkable cell-killing efficiency by generating lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mediating cuproptosis. In addition, DCM@GDY-CuMOF@DOX effectively suppresses tumor growth in vivo without causing any apparent side effects. Conclusion The constructed DCM@GDY-CuMOF@DOX nanoplatform integrates tumor targeting, drug-responsive release and combination with cuproptosis and chemodynamic therapy, offering insights for further biomedical research on efficient PCa treatment.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 345:123523. [PMID: 38331238 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
The dual-functional heterogeneous Fenton catalyst Cu/Ti co-doped iron-based Fenton catalyst (Cu/Ti -Fe3O4@FeOOH, FCT) were successfully prepared by precipitation oxidation method and characterized by XRD, XPS and XAFS. The prepared Cu/Ti co-doped Fe3O4@FeOOH nanoparticles consisted of goethite nanorods and magnetite rod octahedral particles, with Cu and Ti replacing Fe in the catalyst crystal structure, leading to the formation of the goethite structure. The heterogeneous Fenton catalyst FCT exhibited excellent degradation activity for cyanide in wastewater and showed different reaction mechanisms at varying pH levels. When treating 100 mL of 12 mg L-1 NaCN solution, complete degradation occurred within 40 min at 30 °C and pH ranging from 6.5 to 12.5 without external energy. Compared to Fe3O4, FCT shows superior degradation activity for cyanide. The surface Cu(Ⅰ) facilitated the electron transfer and significantly improved the catalytic activity of the catalyst. Additionally, the magnetic properties of the Ti-doped catalyst samples were greatly enhanced compared to the Cu@FeOOH catalyst doped with Cu, making them favorable for recycling and reuse. FCT maintains 100% degradation of cyanogen after three cycles, indicating its excellent stability. Furthermore, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, free radical quenching experiments and fluorescence probe techniques using terephthalic acid (TA) and benzoic acid (BA) confirmed that the presence of •OH and FeⅣ=O reactive species was responsible for the catalysts exhibiting different mechanisms at different pH conditions. Compared with other heterogeneous Fenton catalysts, FCT exhibits intentional degradation activity for cyanide-containing wastewater under different acid-base conditions, which greatly broadened the pH range of the heterogeneous Fenton reaction.

Abstract
Lung cancer poses a significant threat to human health. Surgical intervention is the preferred treatment modality for lung cancer, but a large number of patients are deprived of the opportunity for surgery for various reasons and are compelled to undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which entail systemic adverse reactions. In recent years, with the advancement of nanomedicine, chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on free radicals has been extensively investigated. In this study, we fabricated copper-citrate-chitosan composite nanoparticles (CuCC NPs) by encapsulating copper-citrate complexes with natural chitosan polymers, resulting in a substantial reduction in the biotoxicity of copper ions. The CuCC NPs selectively accumulated in tumor tissues through the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR) and gradually degraded within the acidic and glutathione (GSH)-rich microenvironment of the tumor, thereby releasing the loaded copper ions. Through CDT, the copper ions converted the overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor tissue into hydroxyl radicals (•OH), leading to the eradication of tumor cells. In animal experiments, CuCC NPs exhibited remarkable efficacy in CDT. Further histopathological and hematological analyses demonstrated that CuCC NPs could induce substantial apoptosis in tumor tissues while maintaining an extremely high level of safety.

Abstract
Copper-based Fenton-like agents have the ability to convert weakly oxidizing H2O2 into highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (·OH) at tumor sites during chemodynamic therapy (CDT). In this study, the interfacial attraction properties between the negatively charged OCP- in sodium phosphathynolate (NaOCP) and the positively charged environment inside the lumen of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were utilized to synthesize Cu3-xP nanoparticles in situ within the HNTs. The study investigated the chemical composition, morphology, and structure of Cu3-x P@HNTs. The results indicated uniform distribution of Cu3-xP particles measuring 3-5 nm within HNTs' lumen. Experiments conducted internally and externally to cells confirmed the catalytic capability of Cu3-xP@HNTs to oxidize H2O2 to ·OH. Furthermore, CP@H-CM was synthesized by enclosing Cu3-xP@HNTs in a cancer cell membrane, which selectively targets cancer cells. The experiments revealed the cytotoxicity of CP@H-CM on 4T1 cells. Additionally, the antitumor efficacy of CP@H-CM was evaluated in vivo through tumor recurrence experiments in mice. Moreover, the efficacy of CP@H-CM in repressing tumor growth was enhanced by incorporating infrared laser, indicating a synergistic photodynamic treatment for breast cancer. This study presents an efficacious and viable therapeutic approach to inhibit postoperative tumor reappearance. The implications of this approach are promising, particularly in the domain of tumor treatment and metastasis.

Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to develop a sonodynamic-chemodynamic nanoparticle functioning on glutathione depletion in tumor immunotherapy. Materials & methods: The liposome-encapsulated 2,2-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl) propane] dihydrochloride (AIPH) and copper-cysteine nanoparticles, AIPH/Cu-Cys@Lipo, were synthesized with a one-pot method. 4T1 cells were injected into female BALB/c mice for modeling. Results: AIPH/Cu-Cys@Lipo was well synthesized. It generated alkyl radicals upon ultrasound stimulation. AIPH/Cu-Cys@Lipo promoted the generation of -OH via a Fenton-like reaction. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments verified that AIPH/Cu-Cys@Lipo significantly inhibited tumor development by decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential, activating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and promoting the expression of IL-2 and TNF-α. Conclusion: AIPH/Cu-Cys@Lipo provides high-quality strategies for safe and effective tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Carbon-coated copper nanocrystals (CuNCs) with peroxidase-like activity were hydrothermally prepared by using copper acetate, citric acid (CA) and histidine (His) as the precursors. Various shaped CuNCs, including urchin-like, slab-like and spherical appearance were facilely prepared by addition of different amount of NaNO2 in the precursor solutions. When 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was used as the substrate, the CuNCs with urchin-like appearance have greatest peroxidase-like activity and their Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) and the maximum rate constant (νmax) are respectively 8.8 and 1.2 times higher than that obtained from horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was confirmed by radical quenching and electron spin resonance (ESR) tests. Subsequent studies have found that the CuNCs catalyzed color reaction of TMB can be selectively quenched by the environmental pollutant 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH). Thus a new colorimetric method for the determination of 2,4-DNPH with a linear range of 0.60-20 µM was developed and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.166 µM was achieved. The results obtained not only reveal the tunability of the peroxidase-like activity of Cu-based nanomaterials, but also provide a new method for the sensitive determination of environmental contaminate.

Non-invasive cancer therapies, especially those based on reactive oxygen species, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), have gained much interest. As emerging photodynamic nanocarriers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on porphyrin can release reactive oxygen species (ROS) to destroy cancer cells. However, due to the inefficient production of ROS by photosensitizers and the over-expression of glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME), their therapeutic effect is not satisfactory. Therefore, herein, we developed a multi-functional nanoparticle, HN@Cu-MOF, to enhance the efficacy of PDT. We combined chemical dynamic therapy (CDT) and nitric oxide (NO) therapy by initiating sensitization to PDT and cell apoptosis in the treatment of tumors. The Cu2+-doped MOF reacted with GSH to form Cu+, exhibiting a strong CDT ability to generate hydroxyl radicals (˙OH). The Cu-MOF was coated with HN, which is hyaluronic acid (HA) modified by a nitric oxide donor. HN can target tumor cells over-expressing the CD44 receptor and consume GSH in the cells to release NO. Both cell experiments and in vivo experiments showed an excellent tumor inhibitory effect upon the treatment. Overall, the HN@Cu-MOF nanoparticle-integrated NO gas therapy and CDT with PDT led to a significant enhancement in GSH consumption and a remarkable elevation in ROS production.

Abstract
Electro-Fenton is a promising game-changer for distributed wastewater treatments for the removal of recalcitrant compounds that it is possible to find in industrial effluent and looking for a water reuse approach. This electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOPs) is able to provide fast removal of organic compounds, like dyes, due to the in-situ H2O2 production and its reaction with Fe2+ to form hydroxyl radicals. The literature clearly reports that this reaction reaches its optimum in acid conditions (pH = 3) and low catalyst concentrations [Fe2+<0.5 mM]. This paper wants to investigate the effects of the shifting from optimal conditions on the removal of reactive black 5 (RB5), treating solutions which contain a higher amount of catalyst and a less acid pH. Textile effluents usually contain also other metals able to act as catalyst for Fenton reaction, like copper. Here its activity has been investigated as well as the possible synergistic effect with Fe2+. The results confirm that copper can enhance RB5 removal, especially in those conditions critical for ferrous cation. In the second part, possible process modifications to overcome the issues introduced by unfavourable operating conditions (pH > 3 and Fe2+ > 0.5 mM) are considered, such as the usage of a chelating agent (EDTA) and the application of a light source. The results show the positive impact of these two system modifications highlighting the possibility to enlarge the application window of electro-Fenton systems.

Abstract
Nanozymes mediated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a newly developed therapeutic modality with high specificity. The efficacy of CDT, however, still confronts challenges from the immune inhibitory tumor microenvironment (TME). It is thus of great significance to synergize CDT with immunotherapeutic interventions. Herein, this work reports the design and preparation of CpG loaded, Cu2+ doped double layered hydroxides nanosheets (CpG/Cu-LDHs) as immuno-nanozymes to potentiate overall anti-tumor efficacy by synergizing CDT with immunogenic cell death (ICD)-activated local and systemic immune responses. Such cooperative CDT-immuno effect together with immunosuppressive TME remodeling capacity conferred by CpG/Cu-LDHs led to effective suppression of both treated primary tumor and untreated distant tumor on a mouse tumor model. Thereby, synergizing CDT with ICD-driven, in situ vaccine-like immunotherapy by immuno-nanozymes provides a novel and generalized paradigm for devising highly efficient and specific anti-tumor strategy without the use of external stimulations.

Abstract
Cancer has always been the biggest threat to human health, but the effect of traditional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy is not satisfactory. Currently, nanomedicine-based chemoimmunotherapy can improve clinical results through unique synergistic effects. However, it is mainly enriched at tumor sites based on EPR effects, without an active delivery strategy and relatively low tumor targeting distribution. Therefore, nanorobots (Cu@MPS-GOD) with magnetic responsiveness and enzyme-like activity were prepared, which can enrich and move to the tumor site under the action of a 3D magnetic field, and cause tumor cell immunogenic death by cascade catalytic Fenton reactions. Meanwhile, Cu@MPS-GOD can also activate immune cells or induce cancer cells to expose surface antigens, trigger systemic anti-cancer immunity, and have a good inhibitory effect on a breast tumor model in mice with an inhibition rate of 59.3%. This work provides an attractive strategy to expand the therapeutic effect of cancer when chemical dynamic therapy is combined with immunotherapy, which has a potential clinical application prospect.

Abstract
The fast conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) into reactive oxygen species (ROS) at tumor sites is a promising anticancer strategy by manipulating nanomedicines with near-infrared light in the second region (NIR-II). However, this strategy is greatly compromised by the powerful antioxidant capacity of tumors and the limited ROS generation rate of nanomedicines. This dilemma mainly stems from the lack of an effective synthesis method to support high-density copper-based nanocatalysts on the surface of photothermal nanomaterials. Herein, a multifunctional nanoplatform (MCPQZ) with high-density cuprous (Cu2 O) supported molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) nanoflowers (MC NFs) is developed for the efficient killing of tumors via a potent ROS storm by an innovative method. Under NIR-II light irradiation, the ROS intensity and maximum reaction velocity (Vmax ) produced by MC NFs are 21.6 and 33.8 times that of the non-irradiation group in vitro, which is much higher than most current nanomedicines. Moreover, the strong ROS storm in cancer cells is efficiently formed by MCPQZ (increased by 27.8 times compared to the control), thanks to the fact that MCPQZ effectively pre-weakens the multiple antioxidant systems of cancer cells. This work provides a novel insight to solve the bottleneck of ROS-based cancer therapy.

Abstract
As an emerging cancer treatment strategy, ferroptosis is greatly restricted by excessive glutathione (GSH) in tumor microenvironment (TME) and low reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency. Here, this work designs self-assembled copper-alanine nanoparticles (CACG) loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx) and cinnamaldehyde (Cin) for in situ glutathione activated and enzymatic cascade-enhanced ferroptosis and immunotherapy. In response to GSH-rich and acidic TME, CACG allows to effectively co-deliver Cu2+ , Cin, and GOx into tumors. Released Cin consumes GSH through Michael addition, accompanying with the reduction of Cu2+ into Cu+ for further GSH depletion. With the cascade of Cu+ -catalyzed Fenton reactions and enzyme-catalyzed reactions by GOx, CACG could get rid of the restriction of insufficient hydrogen peroxide in TME, leading to a robust and constant generation of ROS. With the high efficiency of GSH depletion and ROS production, ferroptosis is significantly enhanced by CACG in vivo. Moreover, elevated oxidative stress triggers robust immune responses by promoting dendritic cells maturation and T cell infiltration. The in vivo results prove that CACG could efficiently inhibit tumor growth in 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model without causing obvious systemic toxicity, suggesting the great potential of CACG in enhancing ferroptosis and immunotherapy for effective cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a crucial gaseous medium for tumor growth and progression, but it may also cause mitochondrial disorder and DNA damage by drastically increasing its concentration in tumor. Due to its challenging administration and unpredictable release, NO based gas therapy is difficult to eliminate malignant tumor at low safe doses. To address these issues, herein, we develop a multifunctional nanocatalyst called Cu-doped polypyrrole (CuP) as an intelligent nanoplatform (CuP-B@P) to deliver the NO precursor BNN6 and specifically release NO in tumors. Under the aberrant metabolic environment of tumors, CuP-B@P catalyzes the conversion of antioxidant GSH into GSSG and excess H2O2 into ·OH through Cu+/Cu2+ cycle, which results in oxidative damage to tumor cells and the concomitant release of cargo BNN6. More importantly, after laser exposure, nanocatalyst CuP can absorb and convert photons into hyperthermia, which in turn, accelerates the aforesaid catalytic efficiency and pyrolyzes BNN6 into NO. Under the synergistic effect of hyperthermia, oxidative damage, and NO burst, almost complete tumor elimination is achieved in vivo with negligible toxicity to body. Such an ingenious combination of NO prodrug and nanocatalytic medicine provides a new insight into the development of NO based therapeutic strategies. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A hyperthermia-responsive NO delivery nanoplatform (CuP-B@P) based on Cu-doped polypyrrole was designed and fabricated, in which CuP catalyzed the conversion of H2O2 and GSH into ·OH and GSSG to induce intratumoral oxidative damage. After laser irradiation, hyperthermia ablation and responsive release of NO further coupled with oxidative damage to eliminate malignant tumors. This versatile nanoplatform provides new insights into the combined application of catalytic medicine and gas therapy.

Abstract
Heterogeneous electro-Fenton (HEF) process has been regarded as a promising method in environmental remediation. However, the reaction kinetic mechanism of the HEF catalyst for simultaneous production and activation of H2O2 remained confounded. Herein, the copper supported on polydopamine (Cu/C) was synthesized by a facile method and employed as a bifunctional HEFcatalyst, and the catalytic kinetic pathways were deeply investigated by using rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) voltammetry based on the Damjanovic model. Experimental results substantiated that a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR) and a sequential Fenton oxidation reaction were proceeded on 1.0-Cu/C, where metallic copper played a crucial role in the fabrication of 2e- active sites as well as utmost H2O2 activation to produce highly reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in the high H2O2 productivity (52.2%) and the almost complete removal of contaminant ciprofloxacin (CIP) after 90 min. The work not only expanded the idea of reaction mechanism on Cu-based catalyst in HEF process but also provided a promising catalyst for pollutants degradation in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Artificial enzymes have demonstrated therapeutic benefits against diverse malignant tumors, yet their antitumor potencies are still severely compromised by non-selective catalysis, low atomic-utilization efficiency, and undesired off-target toxicity. Herein, it is reported that peroxidase-like biomineralized copper (II) carbonate hydroxide nanocrystals inside single albumin nanocages (CuCH-NCs) act as a pH-activatable proenzyme to achieve tumor-selective and synergistic chemodynamic/chemo-immunotherapy against aggressive triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). These CuCH-NCs show pH-sensitive Cu2+ release, which spontaneously undergoes glutathione (GSH)-mediated reduction into Cu+ species for catalyzing the evolution of H2 O2 into hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in a single-atom-like manner to cause chemodynamic cell injury, and simultaneously activates non-toxic disulfiram to cytotoxic complex for yielding selective chemotherapeutic damage via blocking cell proliferation and amplifying cell apoptosis. CuCH-NCs exhibit considerable tumor-targeting capacity with deep penetration depth, thus affording preferable efficacy against orthotopic breast tumors through synergistic chemodynamic/chemotherapy, together with good in vivo safety. Moreover, CuCH-NCs arouse distinct immunogenic cell death effect and upregulate PD-L1 expression upon disulfiram combination, and thus synergize with anti-PD-L1 antibody to activate adaptive and innate immunities, together with relieving immunosuppression, finally yielding potent antitumor efficacy against both primary and metastatic TNBCs. These results provide insights into smart and high-performance proenzymes for synergistic therapy against aggressive cancers.

Abstract
Simple biomolecule-based supramolecular nanomedicines hold great promise in cancer therapy, but their clinical translation is greatly hindered by low tumor-specificity and unsatisfactory antitumor performance. Herein, we developed an amino acid basedsupramolecular nanomedicine that could be co-activated by multiple stimuli in tumor tissue to trigger cascade catalytic reactions in situ for synergetic therapy. The supramolecular nanomedicine was developed based on a combination of coordination and hydrophobic noncovalent interactions among amphiphilic amino acids, glucose oxidase (GOx), copper ions, as well as doxorubicin (DOX)-camptothecin (CPT) prodrugs. The cascade reactions including the catalytic oxidation of glucose to generate H2O2, GSH reducing Cu2+ to Cu+, a Fenton-like reaction between H2O2 and Cu+ to produce hydroxyl radicals (˙OH), and ˙OH-triggered rapid release of dual parent drugs were specifically activated in tumor cells. With these cascade reactions, the catalytic-chemo synergetic therapy was realized for high-efficiency tumor suppression.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), which consumes endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and causes oxidative damage to tumor cells, shows tremendous promise for advanced cancer treatment. However, the rate of ROS generation based on the Fenton reaction is prone to being restricted by inadequate H2O2 and unattainable acidity in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. We herein report a multifunctional nanoprobe (BCGCR) integrating bimodal imaging and photothermal-enhanced CDT of the targeted tumor, which is produced by covalent conjugation of bovine serum albumin-stabilized CuS/Gd2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) with the Cy5.5 fluorophore and the tumor-targeting ligand RGD. BCGCR exhibits intense near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence and acceptable r1 relaxivity (∼15.3 mM-1 s-1) for both sensitive fluorescence imaging and high-spatial-resolution magnetic resonance imaging of tumors in living mice. Moreover, owing to the strong NIR absorbance from the internal CuS NPs, BCGCR can generate localized heat and displays a high photothermal conversion efficiency (30.3%) under 980 nm laser irradiation, which enables photothermal therapy and further intensifies ROS generation arising from the Cu-induced Fenton-like reaction for enhanced CDT. This synergetic effect shows such an excellent therapeutic efficacy that it can ablate xenografted tumors in vivo. We believe that this strategy will be beneficial to exploring other advanced nanomaterials for the clinical application of multimodal imaging-guided synergetic cancer therapies.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have been powerful technologies for tumor ablation. However, how to realize efficient CDT and PTT synergetic tumor ablation through a safe and intelligent system, remains a topic of great research value. Herein, a novel Cu-chelated polydopamine nano-system (Cu-PDA) with surface PEGylation and folate (FA) targeting modification (Cu-PDA-FA) was presented as a photothermal agent (PTA), Fenton-like reaction initiator and "immunogenic cell death" inducer to mediate PTT/CDT synergistical tumor therapy and antitumor immune activation. Primarily, the prepared Cu-PDA NPs possessed elevated photothermal conversion efficiency (46.84%) under the near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, bringing about hyperthermic death of tumor cells. Secondly, Cu-PDA catalyzed the generation of toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) in response to the specific tumor microenvironment (TME) with the depletion of GSH, killing tumor cells with high specificity. Interestingly, the increase in local tumor temperature caused by PTT availed the production of ˙OH, and then the produced toxic ˙OH further led the tumor cells to be more sensitive to heat via impeding the expression of heat shock protein, so the synergistically enhanced PTT/CDT in tumor therapy could be achieved. Most importantly, the synergistical PTT/CDT could cause tumor cell death in an immunogenic way to generate in situ tumor vaccine-like functions, which were able to trigger a systemic antitumor immune response, preventing recurrence and metastasis without any other adjuvant supplementation. Overall, these Cu-PDA NPs will provide inspiration for the construction of a versatile nanoplatform for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy has been appealing for effective cancer treatment. Particularly, Fenton-like reactions catalyzed by Cu2+-based nanoparticles showed promising prospects. Herein, we fabricated copper-selenocysteine quantum dots (Cu-Sec QDs) with the majority of Cu+ by a facile and robust thermal titration process. No high temperature or pressure is needed for this synthetic route of QDs. The selenocysteine functioned as the reducing agent as well as the stabilizer, circumventing the poor water solubility and stability, leading to enhanced biocompatibility. The existence of Cu+ endowed the QDs the ability to catalyze the Fenton-like reaction without an extra reduction reaction of Cu2+ to Cu+. Moreover, the strong absorption in the near-infrared-II region (1000-1300 nm) of the final Cu-Sec QDs is in great favor of the chemodynamic therapy via the photothermally enhanced Fenton-like reaction. And the Cu-Sec QDs exhibited obvious cytotoxicity to various cancer cell lines. We believe that this facile and robust synthetic approach could open up another method for the fabrication of quantum dots toward the potential Fenton-like reaction-based applications in biological fields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemodynamic therapy is a promising cancer treatment with specific therapeutic effect at tumor sites, as toxic hydroxyl radical (·OH) could only be generated by Fenton or Fenton-like reaction in the tumor microenvironment (TME) with low pH and high level of endogenous hydrogen peroxide. However, the low concentration of catalytic metal ions, excessive glutathione (GSH) and aggressive hypoxia at tumor site seriously restrict the curative outcomes of conventional chemodynamic therapy. RESULTS In this study, polyethylene glycol-phenylboronic acid (PEG-PBA)-modified generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers were synthesized as a targeted nanocarrier to chelate Cu(II) and then encapsulate hypoxia-sensitive drug tirapazamine (TPZ) by the formation of hydrophobic Cu(II)/TPZ complex for hypoxia-enhanced chemo/chemodynamic therapy. The formed G5.NHAc-PEG-PBA@Cu(II)/TPZ (GPPCT) nanoplatform has good stability and hemocompatibility, and could release Cu(II) ions and TPZ quickly in weakly acidic tumor sites via pH-sensitive dissociation of Cu(II)/TPZ. In vitro experiments showed that the GPPCT nanoplatforms can efficiently target murine breast cancer cells (4T1) cells overexpressing sialic acid residues, and show a significantly enhanced inhibitory effect on hypoxic cells by the activation of TPZ. The excessive GSH in tumors could be depleted by the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I), and abundant of toxic ·OH would be generated in tumor cells by Fenton reaction for chemodynamic therapy. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the GPPCT nanoplatform could specifically accumulate at tumors, effectively inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumors by the combination of CDT and chemotherapy, and be metabolized with no systemic toxicity. CONCLUSIONS The targeted GPPCT nanoplatform may represent an effective model for the synergistic inhibition of different tumor types by hypoxia-enhanced chemo/chemodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Lactate plays a critical role in tumorigenesis, invasion and metastasis. Exhausting lactate in tumors holds great promise for the reversal of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we report on a “lactate treatment plant” (i.e., nanofactory) that can dynamically trap pro-tumor lactate and in situ transformation into anti-tumor cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) for a synergistic chemodynamic and metabolic therapy. To this end, lactate oxidase (LOX) was nano-packaged by cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI), assisted by a necessary amount of copper ions (PLNPCu). As a reservoir of LOX, the tailored system can actively trap lactate through the cationic PEI component to promote lactate degradation by two-fold efficiency. More importantly, the byproducts of lactate degradation, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), can be transformed into anti-tumor ROS catalyzing by copper ions, mediating an immunogenic cell death (ICD). With the remission of immunosuppressive TME, ICD process effectively initiated the positive immune response in 4T1 tumor model (88% tumor inhibition). This work provides a novel strategy that rationally integrates metabolic therapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for combating tumors. ![]()

Abstract
We report copper(II) arsenite (CuAS)-integrated polymer micelles (CuAS-PMs) as a new class of Fenton-like catalytic nanosystem that can display reactive oxygen species (ROS)-manipulating anticancer therapeutic activity. CuAS-PMs were fabricated through metal-catechol chelation-based formation of the CuAS complex on the core domain of poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly(3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine) (PEG-PDOPA) copolymer micelles. CuAS-PMs maintained structural robustness under serum conditions. The insoluble state of the CuAS complex was effectively retained at physiological pH, whereas, at endosomal pH, the CuAS complex was ionized to release arsenite and cuprous Fenton catalysts (Cu+ ions). Upon endocytosis, CuAS-PMs simultaneously released hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-generating arsenite and Fenton-like reaction-catalyzing Cu+ ions in cancer cells, which synergistically elevated the level of highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thereby preferentially killing cancer cells. Animal experiments demonstrated that CuAS-PMs could effectively suppress the growth of solid tumors without systemic in vivo toxicity. The design rationale of CuAS-PMs may provide a promising strategy to develop diverse oxidative stress-amplifying agents with great potential in cancer-specific therapy.

Abstract
Though numerous external-stimuli-triggered tumor therapies, including phototherapy, radiotherapy, and sonodynamic therapy have made great progress in cancer therapy, the low penetration depth of the laser, safety concerns of radiation, the therapeutic resistance, and the spatio-temporal constraints of the specific equipment restrict their convenient clinical applications. What is more, the inherent physiological barriers of the tumor microenvironment (TME), including hypoxia, heterogeneity, and high expression of antioxidant molecules also restrict the efficiency of tumor therapy. As a result, the development of nanoplatforms responsive to endogenous stimuli (such as glucose, acidic pH, cellular redox events, and etc.) has attracted great attention for starvation therapy, ion therapy, prodrug-mediated chemotherapy, or enzyme-catalyzed therapy. In addition, nanomedicines can be modified by some targeted units for precisely locating in subcellular organelles and boosting the destroying of tumor tissue, decreasing the dosage of nanoagents, reducing side effects, and enhancing the therapeutic efficiency. Herein, the properties of the TME, the advantages of endogenous stimuli, and the principles of subcellular-organelle-targeted strategies will be emphasized. Some necessary considerations for the exploitation of precision medicine and clinical translation of multifunctional nanomedicines in the future are also pointed out.

Abstract
The elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by glutathione (GSH) is a fundamental concern in the oxidative stress therapy (OST) of tumors. This is the first report of copper phosphate nanospheres coated by poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (Cu3(PO4)2@PEGDA) which act as nanozymes to amplify the anti-tumor effects of OST. Cu3(PO4)2@PEGDA not only catalyzes the generation of ˙OH from H2O2 but also consumes GSH, which is counterproductive to the role of ˙OH. Moreover, the photothermal properties of Cu3(PO4)2@PEGDA further enhances the outcome of the OST when exposed to an 808 nm laser. Another novelty lies in that a new PEGylation strategy of peroxidase-like nanozymes is proposed, in which the Cu3(PO4)2 cores work as internal heaters and radical generators, which are necessary to initiate the radical polymerization of PEGDA. An elaborate core-shell nanostructure is obtained since the polymerization prefers to take place in the vicinity of the cores, overcoming the drawbacks of traditional PEGylation methods which include invalid polymerization far away from the cores and easy core-shell disassembly during applications.

Abstract
Despite the great efforts of using DNAzyme for gene therapy, its clinical success is limited by the lack of simple delivery systems and limited anticancer efficacy. Here, we develop a simple approach for the synthesis of hybrid nanostructures that exclusively consist of DNAzyme and Cu2+ with ultra-high loading capacity. The Cu-DNAzyme nanohybrids allow to effectively co-deliver DNAzyme and Cu2+ into cancer cells for combinational catalytic therapy. The released Cu2+ can be reduced to Cu+ by glutathione and then catalyze endogenous H2 O2 to form cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals for chemodynamic therapy (CDT), while the 10-23 DNAzyme enables the catalytic cleavage of VEGFR2 mRNA and activates gene silencing for gene therapy. We demonstrate that the system can efficiently accumulate in the tumor and exhibit amplified cascade antitumor effects with negligible systemic toxicity. Our work paves an extremely simple way to integrate DNAzyme with CDT for the dual-catalytic tumor treatment.

Abstract
The clinical performance of the current cancer therapies is still far from satisfactory. The emerging ferroptosis-driven therapy strategies reignite the hope of chemotherapy in tumor treatment due to their incredible tumor suppression. Among ferroptosis-based cancer therapies, metal elements have attracted remarkable attention due to their inherent physicochemical properties in inducing ferroptosis of tumor cells quickly and strongly without complex cellular signal transduction. Although the discovery and applications of ferroptosis for tumor treatment have been discussed in many reviews, the unique advantages of metal-containing nanomaterials interfering ferroptotic cancer therapies (MIFCT) have seldom been mentioned. Here, we outline the latest advances of MIFCT comprehensively. Firstly, the functions of different kinds of metal elements or their ions are introduced to illustrate their advantages in MIFCT. Secondly, the emerging metal-containing nanomaterials that are designed to achieve ferroptosis-driven therapy are overviewed, including their ability to boost the Fenton or Fenton-like reaction for reactive oxygen species generation, act as hydrogen peroxide self-providers, damage the reducing system, and disturb cellular communication. Moreover, metal-containing nanomaterials with external energy conversion features for MIFCT are discussed. Finally, the future expectations and challenges of MIFCT for clinical cancer therapy are spotlighted.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a kind of method utilizing hydroxyl radicals (•OH) generated by Fenton or Fenton-like reactions in situ to kill tumor cells. Copper, a cofactor of many intracellular enzymes, which has good biocompatibility, is a transition metal with extremely high efficiency in the Fenton-like reaction. However, when the intracellular free copper exceeds the threshold, it will bring serious side effects. Hence, we used the chelation between glutathione (GSH) and copper ions to produce a nanocatalytic drug, which was named as Cu-GSSG NPs, to fix free copper. With the aid of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in vitro, Cu-GSSG NPs catalyzed it to •OH radicals, which could be confirmed by the electron spin resonance spectrum and the degradation experiment of methylene blue. Based on these results, we further studied the intracellular properties of Cu-GSSG NPs and found that Cu-GSSG NPs could react with the overexpressed H2O2 in tumor cells to produce •OH radicals effectively by the Fenton-like reaction to induce cell death. Therefore, Cu-GSSG NPs could be a kind of potential "green" nanocatalytic drug with good biocompatibility to achieve CDT.

Abstract
Metal sulfide nanomaterials (MeSNs) are a novel class of metal-containing nanomaterials composed of metal ions and sulfur compounds. During the past decade, scientists found that the MeSNs engineered by specific approaches not only had high biocompatibility but also exhibited unique physicochemical properties for cancer therapy, such as Fenton catalysis, light conversion, radiation enhancement, and immune activation. To clarify the development and promote the clinical transformation of MeSNs, the first section of this paper describes the appropriate fabrication approaches of MeSNs for medical science and analyzes the features and limitations of each approach. Secondly, we sort out the mechanisms of functional MeSNs in cancer therapy, including drug delivery, phototherapy, radiotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, gas therapy, and immunotherapy. It is worth noting that the intact MeSNs and the degradation products of MeSNs can exert different types of anti-tumor activities. Thus, MeSNs usually exhibit synergistic antitumor properties. Finally, future expectations and challenges of MeSNs in the research of translational medicine are spotlighted.

In recent years, many inorganic nanoparticle-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) agents have been employed in cancer therapy; however, the relatively lower catalytic activity compared to that of other CDT agents and long-term toxicity owing to low biodegradability present significant challenges for their future clinical application. In light of this, metal-organic complex-based agents have been attracting attention as potential alternatives/complements to traditional CDT agents. During the past few years, many reports of agents with improved therapeutic potential have been published; however, no comprehensive review regarding metal-organic complex-based CDT agents has appeared to date. In this feature article, we present the different types and characteristics of metal-organic CDT agents and the potential future therapeutic applications associated with each of these. Representative agents that have been used in the field of CDT over the past 5 years are summarized, and recent advances aimed at improving the therapeutic efficacy in various tumors are highlighted. This framework allows us to discuss recent trends in the field of CDT. We also provide views as to where the field is moving and discuss how the potential of CDT agents can be broadened to include a range of clinical applications that go beyond standard CDT-based treatment strategies.

Oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysis inducing Fenton-like processes with enhanced electrocatalytic performance based on mesoporous ZnO/CuO cathodes: Treatment of organic wastewater and catalytic principle. CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 259:127463. [PMID: 32599388 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.127463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2020] [Revised: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
To treat typical organic wastewater efficiently, a novel Fenton-like processes based on ZnO/CuO composite cathode induced by oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysis with enhanced electrocatalytic performance was established successfully. Electrochemical testing investigation indicated that the ZnO/CuO cathode possessed conspicuous redox peak and better conductivity than uncompounded electrodes. Additionally, the removal efficiency of methylene blue and its chemical oxygen demand (COD) reached 96.4% and 70.8% after 120 min, respectively. Next, the feasibility of the material in practical application was also discussed. Subsequently, electrocatalytic principle based on valence state changes of metal elements on the electrode surface were also studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Redox reactions between the active species H2O2 and the species Cu+ promoting Fenton-like processes were deduced. Namely, the conversion of Cu(I) and Cu(II) on the electrode surface was accompanied by OH generation. The combination of ZnO and CuO improved the surface morphology, increasing the active site of ORR and the yield of H2O2, thus greatly enhanced the Fenton-like activity. Finally, the main intermediates were identified by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS), and possible pathways for dye degradation were proposed. In short, the research of ZnO/CuO cathode provided great significance for heterogeneous Fenton-like degradation and also showed its application potential in water treatment and remediation.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs)-mediated tumor theranostics have attracted widespread attention due to their unique physicochemical properties, such as optical, electrical, magnetic, and thermal properties. In the past decade, great advancements have been made in inorganic NPs-associated drug delivery, multimodal tumor imaging, and tumor therapy. However, the potential toxicity of inorganic NPs due to their low biodegradability, background signals interference and treatment side effects limit their clinical application. Therefore, developing biodegradable and intelligent NPs is beneficial to avoid excessive metal ions deposition, specific tumor imaging and treatment. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in tumor microenvironment (TME)-triggered biodegradation of inorganic NPs accompanied by imaging signal amplification and the released ions-mediated tumor therapy. First, the feature characteristics of the TME are introduced, including mild acidity, hypoxia, overexpressed reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione (GSH), and enzymes et al.; then, the biodegradation of NPs in a TME-induced activation of imaging signals, such as magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and fluorescence imaging is described; furthermore, tumor therapies through "Fenton", "Fenton-like" reactions, and interference of biological effects in cells is presented. Finally, the challenges and outlook for improving the degradation efficiency, imaging, specificity and efficiency of tumor imaging and treatment are discussed.

Abstract
AbstractThe electro-Fenton process combined with a boron-doped diamond-positive electrode in a one-compartment cell has shown efficient degradation of Cartap (95% in Padan 95SP) by hydroxyl radicals (•OH) generated in the electro-Fenton and the electrochemical oxidation processes. The influence of added NaOCl in a pretreatment step, effects of H2O2 concentration, Fe2+-ion addition, presence of further metals acting as co-catalysts, and solution pH on the efficiency of Cartap degradation were studied. The concentration of Cartap was determined by UV-vis spectroscopy according to the 5,5-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) procedure. The efficiency reaches approximately 80% when measured as total carbon concentration decrease, even with increased concentrations of H2O2, Fe2+, or metal ions added as co-catalyst. This limitation is presumably due to recalcitrant intermediates, which cannot be destroyed by •OH.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as one of the noninvasive clinical cancer phototherapies, suffers from the key drawback associated with hypoxia at the tumor microenvironment (TME), which plays an important role in protecting tumor cells from damage caused by common treatments. High concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one of the hallmarks of TME, has been recognized as a double-edged sword, posing both challenges, and opportunities for cancer therapy. The promising perspectives, strategies, and approaches for enhanced tumor therapies, including PDT, have been developed based on the fast advances in H2O2-enabled theranostic nanomedicine. In this review, we outline the latest advances in H2O2-responsive materials, including organic and inorganic materials for enhanced PDT. Finally, the challenges and opportunities for further research on H2O2-responsive anticancer agents are envisioned .
