Photoswitchable upconversion nanoparticles with excitation-dependent emission for programmed stepwise NIR phototherapy. iScience 2023; 26:107859. [PMID: 37766981 PMCID: PMC10520541 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Programmable control over therapeutic processes in phototherapy, like photodynamic therapy (PDT), is promising but challenging. This study uses an energy segmentation-based strategy to synthesize core-multi-shell upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), which can release three different colors (red, green, and blue) upon exposure to different near-infrared light (1550 nm, 808 nm, and 980 nm). By combining these UCNPs with photosensitizers and nitric oxide (NO) donors, a smart "off-on" PDT nanoplatform is developed. UCNPs enable independent activation of imaging, release of NO, and generation of reactive oxygen species using specific light wavelengths. The results show that sequential NO release before PDT can greatly alleviate tumor hypoxia by reducing oxygen consumption. This stepwise approach shows potential for precise NIR light-activated and imaging-guided phototherapy.

Abstract
Owing to the unique DNA damaging cytotoxicity, platinum (Pt)-based chemotherapy has long been the first-line choice for clinical oncology. Unfortunately, Pt drugs are restricted by the severe dose-dependent toxicity and drug resistance. Correspondingly, Pt(IV) prodrugs are developed with the aim to improve the antitumor performance of Pt drugs. However, as "free" molecules, Pt(IV) prodrugs are still subject to unsatisfactory in vivo destiny and antitumor efficacy. Recently, Pt(IV) prodrug nanotherapeutics, inheriting both the merits of Pt(IV) prodrugs and nanotherapeutics, have emerged and demonstrated the promise to address the underexploited dilemma of Pt-based cancer therapy. Herein, we summarize the latest fronts of emerging Pt(IV) prodrug nanotherapeutics. First, the basic outlines of Pt(IV) prodrug nanotherapeutics are overviewed. Afterwards, how versatile Pt(IV) prodrug nanotherapeutics overcome the multiple biological barriers of antitumor drug delivery is introduced in detail. Moreover, advanced combination therapies based on multimodal Pt(IV) prodrug nanotherapeutics are discussed with special emphasis on the synergistic mechanisms. Finally, prospects and challenges of Pt(IV) prodrug nanotherapeutics for future clinical translation are spotlighted.

Abstract
Platinum-based anticancer drugs play a crucial role in the clinical treatment of various cancers. However, the application of platinum-based drugs is heavily restricted by their severe toxicity and drug resistance/cross resistance. Various drug delivery systems have been developed to overcome these limitations of platinum-based chemotherapy. Stimuli-responsive nanocarrier drug delivery systems as one of the most promising strategies attract more attention. And huge progress in stimuli-responsive nanocarrier delivery systems of platinum-based drugs has been made. In these systems, a variety of triggers including endogenous and extracorporeal stimuli have been employed. Endogenous stimuli mainly include pH-, thermo-, enzyme- and redox-responsive nanocarriers. Extracorporeal stimuli include light-, magnetic field- and ultrasound responsive nanocarriers. In this review, we present the recent advances in stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems with different nanocarriers for improving the efficacy and reducing the side effects of platinum-based anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Various female reproductive disorders affect millions of women worldwide and bring many troubles to women's daily life. Let alone, gynecological cancer (such as ovarian cancer and cervical cancer) is a severe threat to most women's lives. Endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other chronic diseases-induced pain have significantly harmed women's physical and mental health. Despite recent advances in the female reproductive field, the existing challenges are still enormous such as personalization of disease, difficulty in diagnosing early cancers, antibiotic resistance in infectious diseases, etc. To confront such challenges, nanoparticle-based imaging tools and phototherapies that offer minimally invasive detection and treatment of reproductive tract-associated pathologies are indispensable and innovative. Of late, several clinical trials have also been conducted using nanoparticles for the early detection of female reproductive tract infections and cancers, targeted drug delivery, and cellular therapeutics. However, these nanoparticle trials are still nascent due to the body's delicate and complex female reproductive system. The present review comprehensively focuses on emerging nanoparticle-based imaging and phototherapies applications, which hold enormous promise for improved early diagnosis and effective treatments of various female reproductive organ diseases.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt) drugs are widely used in clinic for cancer therapy, but their therapeutic outcomes are significantly compromised by severe side effects and acquired drug resistance. With the emerging immunotherapy and imaging-guided cancer therapy, precise delivery and release of Pt drugs have drawn great attention these days. The targeting delivery of Pt drugs can greatly increase the accumulation at tumor sites, which ultimately enhances antitumor efficacy. Further, with the combination of Pt drugs and other theranostic agents into one nanosystem, it not only possesses excellent synergistic efficacy but also achieves real-time monitoring. In this review, after the introduction of Pt drugs and their characteristics, the recent progress of polymeric nanosystems for efficient delivery of Pt drugs is summarized with an emphasis on multi-modal synergistic therapy and imaging-guided Pt-based cancer treatment. In the end, the conclusions and future perspectives of Pt-encapsulated nanosystems are given.

Abstract
Among luminescent nanostructures actively investigated in the last couple of decades, rare earth (RE3+) doped nanoparticles (RENPs) are some of the most reported family of materials. The development of RENPs in the biomedical framework is quickly making its transition to the ∼800 nm excitation pathway, beneficial for both in vitro and in vivo applications to eliminate heating and facilitate higher penetration in tissues. Therefore, reports and investigations on RENPs containing the neodymium ion (Nd3+) greatly increased in number as the focus on ∼800 nm radiation absorbing Nd3+ ion gained traction. In this review, we cover the basics behind the RE3+ luminescence, the most successful Nd3+-RENP architectures, and highlight application areas. Nd3+-RENPs, particularly Nd3+-sensitized RENPs, have been scrutinized by considering the division between their upconversion and downshifting emissions. Aside from their distinctive optical properties, significant attention is paid to the diverse applications of Nd3+-RENPs, notwithstanding the pitfalls that are still to be addressed. Overall, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview on Nd3+-RENPs, discussing their developmental and applicative successes as well as challenges. We also assess future research pathways and foreseeable obstacles ahead, in a field, which we believe will continue witnessing an effervescent progress in the years to come.

Abstract
Rose Bengal (RB) is a photosensitizer (PS) used in anti-cancer and anti-bacterial photodynamic therapy (PDT). The specific excitation of this PS allows the production of singlet oxygen and oxygen reactive species that kill bacteria and tumor cells. In this review, we summarize the history of the use of RB as a PS coupled by chemical or physical means to nanoparticles (NPs). The studies are divided into PDT and PDT excited by X-rays (X-PDT), and subdivided on the basis of NP type. On the basis of the papers examined, it can be noted that RB used as a PS shows remarkable cytotoxicity under the effect of light, and RB loaded onto NPs is an excellent candidate for nanomedical applications in PDT and X-PDT.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC) nanostructures, which can upconvert near-infrared (NIR) light with low energy to visible or UV light with higher energy, are investigated for theranostic applications. The surface of lanthanide (Ln)-doped UC nanostructures can be modified with different functional groups and bioconjugated with biomolecules for therapeutic systems. On the other hand, organic molecular-based UC nanostructures, by using the triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) UC mechanism, have high UC quantum yields and do not require high excitation power. In this review, the major UC mechanisms in different nanostructures have been introduced, including the Ln-doped UC mechanism and the TTA UC mechanism. The design and fabrication of Ln-doped UC nanostructures and TTA UC-based UC nanostructures for theranostic applications have been reviewed and discussed. In addition, the current progress in the application of UC nanostructures for diagnosis and therapy has been summarized, including tumor-targeted bioimaging and chemotherapy, image-guided diagnosis and phototherapy, NIR-triggered controlled drug releasing and bioimaging. We also provide insight into the development of emerging UC nanostructures in the field of theranostics.

Abstract
Here, NaGdF 4 ,Yb,Er@NaGdF 4 ,Yb,Tm@NaYF 4 core@shell@shell three-layer structure of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) coated with Fe-Tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphine (TCPP) metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) nanocomposite (UCNPs@MOFs) was designed and constructed for multimodal imaging and synergetic chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors. The UCNPs@MOFs were successfully applied for tumor cells imaging in vitro and in vivo in near-infrared (NIR) region. The doped Gd was used as contrast agent for the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of mouse tumors. The luminescence in the UV-vis region was absorbed by the Fe-MOFs to produce singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) for PDT. The Fe 3+ doped in the MOFs can catalyze H 2 O 2 to produce oxygen and hydroxyl radical (•OH). Hydroxyl radical is used in CDT and cooperates with the 1 O 2 of PDT. Based on the CDT/PDT synergistic effects, the UCNPs@MOFs nanocomposite had obviously enhanced tumor inhibitory efficiency in vivo. These results described that the asprared UCNPs@MOFs nanocomposite have great potential in the effective multimodal imaging and treatment of tumors.

Abstract
This review provides a summary of recent progress in the development of different nano-platforms for the efficient synergistic effect between photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. In particular, this review focuses on various methods in which photosensitizers and chemotherapeutic agents are co-delivered to the targeted tumor site. In many cases, the photosensitizers act as drug carriers, but this review, also covers different types of appropriate nanocarriers that aid in the delivery of photosensitizers to the tumor site. These nanocarriers include transition metal, silica and graphene-based materials, liposomes, dendrimers, polymers, metal–organic frameworks, nano emulsions, and biologically derived nanocarriers. Many studies have demonstrated various benefits from using these nanocarriers including enhanced water solubility, stability, longer circulation times, and higher accumulation of therapeutic agents/photosensitizers at tumor sites. This review also describes novel approaches from different research groups that utilize various targeting strategies to increase treatment efficacy through simultaneous photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), in which a light source is used in combination with a photosensitizer to induce local cell death, has shown great promise in therapeutically targeting primary tumors with negligible toxicity and minimal invasiveness. However, numerous studies have shown that noninvasive PDT alone is not sufficient to completely ablate tumors in deep tissues, due to its inherent shortcomings. Therefore, depending on the characteristics and type of tumor, PDT can be combined with surgery, radiotherapy, immunomodulators, chemotherapy, and/or targeted therapy, preferably in a patient-tailored manner. Nanoparticles are attractive delivery vehicles that can overcome the shortcomings of traditional photosensitizers, as well as enable the codelivery of multiple therapeutic drugs in a spatiotemporally controlled manner. Nanotechnology-based combination strategies have provided inspiration to improve the anticancer effects of PDT. Here, we briefly introduce the mechanism of PDT and summarize the photosensitizers that have been tested preclinically for various cancer types and clinically approved for cancer treatment. Moreover, we discuss the current challenges facing the combination of PDT and multiple cancer treatment options, and we highlight the opportunities of nanoparticle-based PDT in cancer therapies.

Abstract
Over the past three decades, various photosensitive nanoparticles have been developed as potential therapies in human health, ranging from photodynamic therapy technologies that have already reached clinical use, to drug delivery systems that are still in the preclinical stages. Many of these systems are designed to achieve a high spatial and temporal on-demand drug release via phototriggerable mechanisms. This review examines the current clinical and experimental applications in cancer treatment of photosensitive drug release systems, including nanocarriers such as liposomes, micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, and hydrogels. We will focus on the three main physicochemical mechanisms of imparting photosensitivity to a delivery system: i) photochemical reactions (oxidation, cleavage, and polymerization), ii) photoisomerization, iii) and photothermal reactions. Photosensitive nanoparticles have a multitude of different applications including controlled drug release, resulting from physical/conformational changes in the delivery systems in response to light of specific wavelengths. Most of the recent research in these delivery systems has primarily focused on improving the efficacy and safety of cancer treatments such as photodynamic and photothermal therapy. Combinations of multiple treatment modalities using photosensitive nanoparticulate delivery systems have also garnered great interest in combating multi-drug resistant cancers due to their synergistic effects. Finally, the challenges and future potential of photosensitive drug delivery systems in biomedical applications is outlined.

Abstract
Drug resistance is considered the most important reason for the clinical failure of cancer chemotherapy. Circumventing drug resistance and improving the efficacy of anticancer agents remains a major challenge. Over the past several decades, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) have attracted substantial attention for their efficacy in cancer treatment, and have been combined with chemotherapy to overcome drug resistance. However, simultaneously delivering sensitizers and chemotherapy drugs to same tumor cell remains challenging, thus greatly limiting this combinational therapy. The rapid development of nanotechnology provides a new approach to solve this problem. Nano-based drug delivery systems can not only improve the targeted delivery of agents but also co-deliver multiple drug components in single nanoparticles to achieve optimal synergistic effects. In this review, we briefly summarize the mechanisms of drug resistance, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of PDT and SDT in reversing drug resistance, and describe state-of-the-art research using nano-mediated PDT and SDT to solve these refractory problems. This review also highlights the clinical translational potential for this combinational therapy.

Abstract
Platinum drugs are commonly used in cancer therapy, but their therapeutic outcomes have been significantly compromised by the drug resistance of cancer cells. To this end, intensive efforts have been made to develop nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems for platinum drugs, due to their multifunctionality in delivering drugs, in modulating the tumor microenvironment, and in integrating additional genes, proteins, and small molecules to overcome chemoresistance in cancers. To facilitate the clinical application of these promising nanoparticle-based platinum drug delivery systems, this paper summarizes the common mechanisms for chemoresistance towards platinum drugs, the advantages of nanoparticles in drug delivery, and recent strategies of nanoparticle-based platinum drug delivery. Furthermore, we discuss how to design delivery platforms more effectively to overcome chemoresistance in cancers, thereby improving the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multidrug Resistance (MDR) is defined as a cross-resistance of cancer cells to various chemotherapeutics and has been demonstrated to correlate with drug efflux pumps. Visualization of drug efflux pumps is useful to pre-select patients who may be insensitive to chemotherapy, thus preventing patients from unnecessary treatment. Near-Infrared (NIR) imaging is an attractive approach to monitoring MDR due to its low tissue autofluorescence and deep tissue penetration. Molecular NIR imaging of MDR cancers requires stable probes targeting biomarkers with high specificity and affinity. OBJECTIVE This article aims to provide a concise review of novel NIR probes and their applications in MDR cancer treatment. RESULTS Recently, extensive research has been performed to develop novel NIR probes and several strategies display great promise. These strategies include chemical conjugation between NIR dyes and ligands targeting MDR-associated biomarkers, native NIR dyes with inherent targeting ability, activatable NIR probes as well as NIR dyes loaded nanoparticles. Moreover, NIR probes have been widely employed for photothermal and photodynamic therapy in cancer treatment, which combine with other modalities to overcome MDR. With the rapid advancing of nanotechnology, various nanoparticles are incorporated with NIR dyes to provide multifunctional platforms for controlled drug delivery and combined therapy to combat MDR. The construction of these probes for MDR cancers targeted NIR imaging and phototherapy will be discussed. Multimodal nanoscale platform which integrates MDR monitoring and combined therapy will also be encompassed. CONCLUSION We believe these NIR probes project a promising approach for diagnosis and therapy of MDR cancers, thus holding great potential to reach clinical settings in cancer treatment.

Abstract
In photodynamic therapy (PDT), photosensitizer (PS) molecules are irradiated by light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), the presence of which subsequently leads to cell death. At present, the modality is limited to the treatment of skin diseases because of the low tissue penetration of visible or ultraviolet light required for producing ROS. To increase tissue penetration and extend the therapeutic possibilities of PDT to the treatment of deep-seated cancer, rare-earth doped nanoparticles capable of up-converting infrared to visible light are investigated. These up-converting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are conjugated with PS molecules to efficiently generate ROS. In this work, we employ hexagonal β-NaYF4:Yb3 + ,Er3 + as UCNPs and Rose Bengal (RB) as PS molecules and demonstrate efficient in vitro PDT using this nanoformulation. Covalent bonding of the RB molecules is accomplished without their functionalization-an approach which is expected to increase the efficiency of ROS generation by 30%. Spectroscopic studies reveal that our approach results in UCNP surface fully covered with RB molecules. The energy transfer from UCNPs to RB is predominantly non-radiative as evidenced by luminescence lifetime measurements. As a result, ROS are generated as efficiently as under visible light illumination. The in vitro PDT is tested on murine breast 4T1 cancer cells incubated with 250 µg ml-1 of the nanoparticles and irradiated with NIR light under power density of 2 W cm-2 for 10 minutes. After 24 hours, the cell viability decreased to 33% demonstrating a very good treatment efficiency. These results are expected to simplify the protocols for preparation of the PDT agents and lead to improved therapeutic effects.

Abstract
The transdermal route for the delivery of therapeutic agents to the inner skin tissues for non-invasive photodynamic therapy; though constitutes a desired modality for treating skin cancer, the success has been limited due to the insurmountable nature of the stratum corneum (SC). In this context, for the first time we report the localization of photosensitizer-conjugated upconversion (UC) particles to the deeper dermal region by overcoming SC through an oleogel-mediated transport mechanism for NIR-induced photodynamic production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We developed soybean oil and stearic acid based oleogels by incorporating photoluminescent white light emitting NaYF4 (WEN) upconversion (UC) particles conjugated with Rose Bengal (RB), termed as WEN-RB-G. Similarly, we fabricated another type of oleogel by incorporating Li+ doped WEN based UC particles (RB conjugated), with 10 times more photoluminescence intensity, termed as LiWEN-RB-G. Based on the skin permeation enhancing effect of the constituents of the oleogels, we demonstrated the permeation of these two types of conjugated particles in microgram scale through the full thickness of the pig ear skin model within 48 h. The localization of the conjugated particles throughout the skin tissue including dermal and epidermal region was confirmed by confocal microscopy. We also conducted a comparative assessment on WEN-RB-G and LiWEN-RB-G for the suitability of ROS generation and bioimaging under NIR activation. The 'proof of principle' concept reported here is expected to frame a gateway in future for NIR-induced photo-theranostics targeting skin cancer.

Abstract
Herein, we reported the fabrication of novel peptide-conjugated ligand-targeted nanoliposomes (LTLs) for chemo-photodynamic therapy against HER2-positive breast cancer. The LTL core was utilized for encapsulating doxorubicin (DOX) for chemotherapy, and methylene blue (MB) attached NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for NIR-activated bioimaging and leveraging its visible emission for photoexciting MB for enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT). The specificity of our LTLs was achieved by conjugating a newly discovered anti-HER2 peptide screened from a phage display peptide library. The high selectivity of the peptide-conjugated LTLs was confirmed by confocal imaging of SKBR-3 (HER2-positive) and MCF-7 (HER2-negative) breast cancer cell lines, illustrating its target-specific nature. The energy transfer from UCNPs to MB was verified, thus enabling the generation of reactive oxygen species upon activation with a 975 nm laser source (0.60 W cm-2) under 5 min continuous excitation. A significant decline in the cell viability by 95% was observed using chemo-photodynamic combinational therapy, whereas for chemo-drug alone and PDT alone, the cell proliferation declined by 77% and 84%, respectively. Furthermore, we demonstrated an improved uptake of the LTLs inside a 3D model of SKBR-3 tumor spheroids, where the spheroid cell viability was suppressed by 66% after the use of combinational therapy. Thus, our results suggest great prospective use of theranostic LTLs for breast cancer management.

Abstract
Although photodynamic therapy (PDT), which uses a photosensitizer (PS) to generate toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon laser irradiation to kill cancer cells, has been widely applied, the relatively high laser intensity required causes photodamage to healthy neighboring cells and limits its success. Furthermore, glutathione (GSH, an antioxidant) is overexpressed in cancer cells, which can scavenge the generated ROS, thus lowering PDT efficacy. Herein, ultralow-intensity near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered PDT was developed and enhanced through combined GSH-depletion chemotherapy (Chemo) based on exo- and endogenous synergistic effects. Highly emissive upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were prepared and coated with a solid silica shell, which was used to encapsulate the PS rose bengal and bond the drug camptothecin with a disulfide-bond linker. The combination of highly emissive UCNPs and a matchable PS with an optimized loading dosage enabled ROS to be generated for PDT even upon 808 nm laser irradiation with ultralow intensity (0.30 W cm-2). According to the American National Standard, this laser intensity is below the maximum permissible exposure of skin (MPE, 0.33 W cm-2). Once the prepared nanoparticles endocytosed and encountered intracellular GSH, the disulfide-bond linker was cleaved by GSH, leading to drug release and GSH depletion. PDT was therefore simultaneously enhanced through the exogenous synergic effect of Chemo (namely, the "1 + 1 > 2" therapeutic effect) and the endogenous synergic effect as a result of GSH depletion. It was proven both in vitro and in vivo that this novel dual-synergistic Chemo/PDT system exhibits remarkable therapeutic efficacy with minimal photodamage to healthy neighboring cells.

Abstract
Cisplatin plays a pivotal role in the treatment of various malignant tumors, but its therapeutic effects are hampered by drug resistance. Pt(iv) prodrugs represent a promising class of "non-conventional" platinum-based anticancer agents to circumvent drug resistance, which can be easily functionalized with other bioactive ligands. One strategy is to build "dual-action" and "multi-action" Pt(iv) prodrugs that not only damage DNA but also perturb other pathways related to cisplatin resistance to achieve combinatorial therapeutic effects. Another way to overcome the shortcomings of cisplatin is to deliver Pt(iv) prodrugs via nanocarriers. Most studies in this area have focused on designing prodrugs based on the mechanism of cisplatin resistance within isolated cancer cells. Recent findings, however, reveal that the tumor microenvironment also plays important roles in the development of cisplatin resistance. This perspective focuses on various types of novel cisplatin-based Pt(iv) complexes, including Pt-loaded nanostructures, to overcome cisplatin resistance. Special attention will be devoted to complexes that target the tumor microenvironment, which is a new area for the development of effective Pt(iv) prodrugs. Our summary and outlook may have a hope to help researchers in the field generate new ideas and strategies to develop more potent Pt(iv) prodrugs to combat cisplatin resistance.

Abstract
In an attempt to integrate photodynamic therapy (PDT) with photothermal therapy and chemotherapy for enhanced anticancer activity, we have rationally synthesized a multifunctional upconversion nanoplatform using NaYF4:Yb/Tm/Er/Fe nanoparticles (NPs) as the core and NaYbF4:1% Tm as a shell. The as-synthesized core-shell upconversion (CSU) NPs exhibited diverse and enhanced photoluminescence emissions in a wide range (UV to NIR) consequent upon Fe3+ doping in the core and fabrication of an active shell. Subsequently, CSU was first decorated with titania NPs as photosensitizers. Next, the mesoporous silica (MS) shell loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) via a photocleavable Ru complex as the gating molecule was developed around titania-containing CSU. Finally, gold nanorods (GNRs) with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) at 800 nm were incorporated around the MS layer to obtain the multifunctional nanoplatform. We demonstrated that the UV, blue, and NIR emissions from the CSU produced ROS-mediated PDT through titania activation, induced DOX release through photocleavage of the Ru complex, and generated hyperthermia by LSPR activity of GNRs, respectively, upon a single NIR excitation through FRET. The therapeutic efficacy was validated on HeLa cell lines in vitro by various microscopic and biochemical studies under a significantly milder NIR irradiation and lower dosage of the nanoplatforms, which have been further demonstrated as diagnostic nanoprobes for cell imaging.

Abstract
The success of platinum-based anticancer agents has motivated the exploration of novel metal-based drugs for several decades, whereas problems such as drug-resistance and systemic toxicity hampered their clinical applications and efficacy. Stimuli-responsiveness of some metal complexes offers a good opportunity for designing site-specific prodrugs to maximize the therapeutic efficacy and minimize the side effect of metallodrugs. This review presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview on the therapeutic stimuli-responsive metallodrugs that have appeared in the past two decades, where stimuli such as redox, pH, enzyme, light, temperature, and so forth were involved. The compounds are classified into three major categories based on the nature of stimuli, that is, endo-stimuli-responsive metallodrugs, exo-stimuli-responsive metallodrugs, and dual-stimuli-responsive metallodrugs. Representative examples of each type are discussed in terms of structure, response mechanism, and potential medical applications. In the end, future opportunities and challenges in this field are tentatively proposed. With diverse metal complexes being introduced, the foci of this review are pointed to platinum and ruthenium complexes.

Abstract
The term electroceutical has been used to describe implanted devices that deliver electrical stimuli to modify biological function. Herein, we describe a new concept in electroceuticals, demonstrating for the first time the electrochemical activation of metal-based prodrugs. This is illustrated by the controlled activation of Pt(iv) prodrugs into their active Pt(ii) forms within a cellular context allowing selectivity and control of where, when and how much active drug is generated.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the combination of non-toxic dyes called photosensitizers (PS) and harmless visible light that interact with ambient oxygen to give reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage biomolecules and kill cells. PDT has mostly been developed as a cancer therapy but can also be used as an antimicrobial approach against localized infections. However even the longest wavelength used for exciting PS (in the 700 nm region) has relatively poor tissue penetration, and many PS are much better excited by blue and green light. Therefore upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been investigated in order to allow deeper-penetrating near-infrared light (980 nm or 810 nm) to be used for PDT. NaYF4 nanoparticles doped with Yb3+ and Er3+ or with Tm3+ and Er3+ have been attached to PS either by covalent conjugation, or by absorption to the coating or shell (used to render the UCNPs biocompatible). Forster resonance energy transfer to the PS then allows NIR light energy to be transduced into ROS leading to cell killing and tumor regression. Some studies have experimentally demonstrated the deep tissue advantage of UCNP-PDT. Recent advances have included dye-sensitized UCNPs and UCNPs coupled to PS, and other potentially synergistic drug molecules or techniques. A variety of bioimaging modalities have also been combined with upconversion PDT. Further studies are necessary to optimize the drug-delivery abilities of the UCNPs, improve the quantum yields, allow intravenous injection and tumor targeting, and ensure lack of toxicity at the required doses before potential clinical applications.

Abstract
Here, 15 LnF3 nanocrystals are synthesized using coprecipitation method with citrate stabilization to allow the fast, easy, and reproducible synthesis of several nanoscaled structures in water. General trends related to the behavior of LnF3 nanocrystals are highlighted due to their broad range of application in several fields (e.g., medical applications). The same nature for all Ln3+ cations is expected due to the internal role of f orbitals. However, we found that the use of different lanthanide elements is crucial in the final size, shape, assembly, and crystalline structure. In addition, the decrease of the cation size of the lanthanide series changes the behavior of these compounds, resulting in hexagonal, orthorhombic, and cubic crystalline structures. In addition, we are able to tune the cubic crystalline phase to pure orthorhombic by modifying the pH of the system using HBF4 instead of tetramethylammonium citrate. Via 11B NMR, we demonstrated the mechanism of HBF4 as fluorinating agent if an additional source of F- is not added during the synthesis. 1H NMR and IR techniques were performed to unravel the picture of the surface chemistry of the two representative metal cations (Y and La). Finally, HRTEM and SAED were performed to uncover the shape of the obtained nanocrystals and the preferential orientation of the assembled particles, giving crucial information on the involved mechanisms. This study reveals not only the dependence of the crystalline structure on the used metal and pH but also ability to achieve LnF3 assembled particles depending on the final shape and temperature.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are widely utilized for photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to their specific upconverting luminescence that utilizes near infrared (NIR) light to excite photosensitizers (PSs) for PDT. The efficiency of UCNP-based PDT will be improved if the cancer-targeting property of nanomedicine is enhanced. Herein, we employed the pH low insertion peptide (pHLIP), a cancer-targeting moiety, to functionalize an 808 nm excited UCNP-based nanoplatform that has a minimized over-heating effect to perform PDT. pHLIP can bring cargo specifically into cancer cells under an acidic environment, realizing the effective active-targeting abilities to cancer cells or tumor due to acidosis. The pHLIP-functionalized nanoplatform was assembled and well characterized. The nanoplatform shows an efficient NIR-irradiated PDT effect in cancer cells, especially under a slightly acidic condition that mimics the tumor microenvironment, and this effectiveness is attributed to the targeting properties of pHLIP to cancer cells under acidic conditions that favor the entry of the nanoplatform. Furthermore, the pHLIP-functionalized nanoplatform shows a favorable safety profile in mice with a high maximum tolerated dose (MTD), which may broaden the availability of administration in vivo. The efficient in vivo antitumor activity is achieved through intratumor injection of the nanoplatform followed by NIR irradiation on the breast tumor. The nanoparticles are largely accumulated in the tumor site, revealing the excellent tumor-targeting properties of the pHLIP-functionalized nanoplatform, which ensures efficient PDT in vivo. Moreover, the nanoparticles have a long retention time in the bloodstream, indicating their stability in vivo. Overall, we provide an example of a UCNP-based nanosystem with tumor-targeting properties to perform efficient PDT both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
In this study, an intelligent pH and ROS dual-responsive drug delivery system based on an apoferritin (AFt) nanocage was prepared. This therapeutic system can specifically self-target 4T1 breast cancer cells by exploiting L-apoferritin receptor SCARA 5, avoiding the nonspecific binding or aggregation of nanoparticles due to the chemical functionalization for targeting. The characteristics of AFt were utilized for the simultaneous delivery of anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and photosensitizer rose bengal (RB). RB exhibited efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which can be applied to photodynamic therapy. Meanwhile, the AFt nanocage was prone to undergoing peptide backbone cleavage when oxidized by ROS. Therefore, by combining the intrinsic pH-responsive property of AFt, the dual ROS/pH-responsive system was developed. The time and location of drug release can be controlled by the combination of internal and external stimulus, which avoids the incomplete drug release under single stimulus response. The drug release rate increased significantly (from 26.1% to 92.0%) under low-pH condition (pH 5.0) and laser irradiation. More DOX from AFt entered the nucleus and killed the tumor cells, and the cell inhibition rate was up to ∼83% (DOX concentration: 5 μg/mL) after 48 h incubation. In addition, the biodistribution and the in vivo antitumor efficacy (within 14 d treatment) of the nanosystem were investigated in 4T1 breast cancer BALB/c mice. The results indicated that the system is a promising therapeutic agent involving ROS/pH dual response, self-targeting, and chemo-photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Ligand-to-surface interactions are critical factors in surface and interface chemistry to control the mechanisms governing nanostructured colloidal suspensions. In particular, molecules containing carboxylate moieties (such as citrate anions) have been extensively investigated to stabilize metal, metal oxide, and metal fluoride nanoparticles. Using YF3 nanoparticles as a model system, we show here the self-assembly of citrate-stabilized nanostructures (supraparticles) with a size tunable by temperature. Results from several experimental techniques and molecular dynamics simulations show that the self-assembly of nanoparticles into supraparticles is due to ionic bridges between different nanoparticles. These interactions were caused by cations (e.g., ammonium) strongly adsorbed onto the nanoparticle surface that also interact strongly with nonbonded citrate anions, creating ionic bridges in solution between nanoparticles. Experimentally, we observe self-assembly of nanoparticles into supraparticles at 25 and 100 °C. Interestingly, at high temperatures (100 °C), this citrate-bridge self-assembly mechanism is more efficient, giving rise to larger supraparticles. At low temperatures (5 °C), this mechanism is not observed, and nanoparticles remain stable. Molecular dynamics simulations show that the free energy of a single citrate bridge between nanoparticles in solution is much larger than the thermal energy and in fact is much larger than typical adsorption free energies of ions on colloids. Summarizing our experiments and simulations, we identify as key aspects of the self-assembly mechanism the requirement of NPs with a surface able to adsorb anions and cations and the presence of multidentate ions in solution. This indicates that this new ion-mediated self-assembly mechanism is not specific of YF3 and citrate anions, as supported by preliminary experimental results in other systems.

Abstract
Nowadays, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is under the research spotlight as an appealing modality for various malignant tumors. Compared with conventional PDT treatment activated by ultraviolet or visible light, near infrared (NIR) light-triggered PDT possessing deeper penetration to lesion area and lower photodamage to normal tissue holds great potential for in vivo deep-seated tumor. In this review, recent research progress related to the exploration of NIR light responsive PDT nanosystems is summarized. To address current obstacles of PDT treatment and facilitate the effective utilization, several innovative strategies are developed and introduced into PDT nanosystems, including the conjugation with targeted moieties, O2 self-sufficient PDT, dual photosensitizers (PSs)-loaded PDT nanoplatform, and PDT-involved synergistic therapy. Finally, the potential challenges as well as the prospective for further development are also discussed.

Abstract
Few chemotherapeutics have had such an impact on cancer management as cis-diamminedichloridoplatinum(II) (CDDP), also known as cisplatin. The first member of the platinum-based drug family, CDDP's potent toxicity in disrupting DNA replication has led to its widespread use in multidrug therapies, with particular benefit in patients with testicular cancers. However, CDDP also produces significant side effects that limit the maximum systemic dose. Various strategies have been developed to address this challenge including encapsulation within micro- or nanocarriers and the use of external stimuli such as ultrasound to promote uptake and release. The aim of this review is to look at these strategies and recent scientific and clinical developments.

Abstract
We designed a unique and novel bio-nanoplatform based on Pt-Ni nanoframes (PNnf) functionalized with carbon dots via the EDC/NHS coupling chemistry. The PNnf with open three-dimensional surfaces exhibited excellent water solubility after polyethylenimine modification. Due to low cytotoxicity and excellent biocompatibility, the bio-nanoplatforms were firstly used for MCF-7 cell imaging in vitro. More importantly, the design strategy can be readily generalized to facilitate other multi-functional bio-nanoplatforms for biological and biomedical applications.

Cancer nanotherapeutics have overcome several limitations of conventional therapies, such as nonspecific biodistribution, poor water solubility, and limited bioavailability. Nanoparticles with tuned size and surface characteristics are the key components of nanotherapeutics, and are designed to passively or actively deliver anti-cancer drugs to tumor cells. We provide an overview of nanoparticle-based drug delivery methods and cancer therapies based on tumor-targeting delivery strategies that have been developed in recent years.

Modular approach for bimodal antibacterial surfaces combining photo-switchable activity and sustained biocidal release. Sci Rep 2017; 7:5259. [PMID: 28701753 PMCID: PMC5507905 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-05693-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2017] [Accepted: 05/22/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Photo-responsive antibacterial surfaces combining both on-demand photo-switchable activity and sustained biocidal release were prepared using sequential chemical grafting of nano-objects with different geometries and functions. The multi-layered coating developed incorporates a monolayer of near-infrared active silica-coated gold nanostars (GNS) decorated by silver nanoparticles (AgNP). This modular approach also enables us to unravel static and photo-activated contributions to the overall antibacterial performance of the surfaces, demonstrating a remarkable synergy between these two mechanisms. Complementary microbiological and imaging evaluations on both planktonic and surface-attached bacteria provided new insights on these distinct but cooperative effects.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped nanocrystals have shown great promise in bio-detection due to their outstanding luminescent properties, including large Stokes shift and sharp emission bands. Herein, we describe an in vitro detection of STAT3 by using an all-nanocrystal biosensing system that takes advantage of inter-particle energy transfer between two types of lanthanide-doped nanocrystals. We investigate the effect of nanocrystal size on the sensing performance and find that smaller nanocrystals offer a lower detection limit and larger dynamic range. As STAT3 is identified as an oncogene aberrantly activated and expressed in malignant transformation and tumorigenesis, our study thus holds promise for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
The use of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) is a promising route for the delivery of platinum complexes aimed to anticancer activity. This paper describes the production and characterization of SLN suitable for the loading of Pt complexes containing the biocompatible phosphine 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) as neutral ligand. After a screening of several lipidic phases, stearic acid-based SLN were identified as the most appropriate for the purpose. They were produced by emulsion-dilution method and then characterized in terms of dimension, polydispersity, time stability, pH balance and morphological aspect. Stearic acid SLN are designed as a system able to coordinate to platinum, acting as anionic carboxylic ligands, replacing the base carbonate of the Pt synthon [PtCO3(DMSO)2], where also DMSO can subsequently be substituted by phosphinic ligands, namely PTA. SLN functionalised with Pt-PTA were produced and characterized by this synthetic route. The toxicity of plain SLN and the antiproliferative effect of SLN functionalised with Pt-PTA were evaluated on two human cancer cell lines K562 and A2780. The results indicate that SLN can be exploited as a delivery system for Pt complexes with potential anticancer activity.

Abstract
Although neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are slow growing, they are frequently metastatic at the time of discovery and no longer amenable to curative surgery, emphasizing the need for the development of other treatments. In this study, multifunctional upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)-based theranostic micelles are developed for NET-targeted and near-infrared (NIR)-controlled combination chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT), and bioimaging. The theranostic micelle is formed by individual UCNP functionalized with light-sensitive amphiphilic block copolymers poly(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl methacrylate)-polyethylene glycol (PNBMA-PEG) and Rose Bengal (RB) photosensitizers. A hydrophobic anticancer drug, AB3, is loaded into the micelles. The NIR-activated UCNPs emit multiple luminescence bands, including UV, 540 nm, and 650 nm. The UV peaks overlap with the absorption peak of photocleavable hydrophobic PNBMA segments, triggering a rapid drug release due to the NIR-induced hydrophobic-to-hydrophilic transition of the micelle core and thus enabling NIR-controlled chemotherapy. RB molecules are activated via luminescence resonance energy transfer to generate 1O2 for NIR-induced PDT. Meanwhile, the 650 nm emission allows for efficient fluorescence imaging. KE108, a true pansomatostatin nonapeptide, as an NET-targeting ligand, drastically increases the tumoral uptake of the micelles. Intravenously injected AB3-loaded UCNP-based micelles conjugated with RB and KE108-enabling NET-targeted combination chemotherapy and PDT-induce the best antitumor efficacy.
