Recent advances and synergistic effect of bioactive zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) for biosensing applications. Talanta 2024; 275:126097. [PMID: 38631266 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
The rapid developments in the field of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) in recent years have created unparalleled opportunities for the development of unique bioactive ZIFs for a range of biosensor applications. Integrating bioactive molecules such as DNA, aptamers, and antibodies into ZIFs to create bioactive ZIF composites has attracted great interest. Bioactive ZIF composites have been developed that combine the multiple functions of bioactive molecules with the superior chemical and physical properties of ZIFs. This review thoroughly summarizes the ZIFs as well as the novel strategies for incorporating bioactive molecules into ZIFs. They are used in many different applications, especially in biosensors. Finally, biosensor applications of bioactive ZIFs were investigated in optical (fluorescence and colorimetric) and electrochemical (amperometric, conductometric, and impedance) fields. The surface of ZIFs makes it easier to immobilize bioactive molecules like DNA, enzymes, or antibodies, which in turn enables the construction of cutting-edge, futuristic biosensors.

Abstract
There is considerable interest in developing anti-glioma nanoplatforms. They make the all-in-one combination of therapies possible. Here we show how the selective Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cell killing of the here-established nanoplatforms increased after each coating and how the here-established vibration-inducing Alternating magnetic field (AMF) decreased the treatment time from 72 h to 30 s. Thanks to their magnetite core, these nanoplatforms can be guided to the tumor's specific site by a Fixed magnetic field, they bypass the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) and accumulate at the tumor site thanks to the RVG29 bonding to the G-protein on the ion-gated channel receptor known as the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAchR), which expresses on BBB cells and overexpresses on GBM cells, and thanks to the positive charge gained by both chitosan and RVG29's peptide. Both ZIF-8 and its mediate adherence, Chitosan increases the drug loading capacity that stimuli response to the tumor's acidic environment. The Zn2+ ions generated from ZIF-8 sustained degradation in such an environment kill the GBM cells. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) evaluated these nanoplatform's mean size 155 nm indicating their almost optimum size for brain applications. Based on their elements' intrinsic properties, these nanoplatforms can enhance and combine other adjuvant therapies.

Abstract
Conventional cancer therapies, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, can have long-term side effects. Phototherapy has significant potential as a non-invasive alternative treatment with excellent selectivity. Nevertheless, its applicability is restricted by the availability of effective photosensitizers and photothermal agents, and its low efficacy when it comes to avoiding metastasis and tumor recurrence. Immunotherapy can promote systemic antitumoral immune responses, acting against metastasis and recurrence; however, it lacks the selectivity displayed by phototherapy, sometimes leading to adverse immune events. The use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the biomedical field has grown significantly in recent years. Due to their distinct properties, including their porous structure, large surface area, and inherent photo-responsive properties, MOFs can be particularly useful in the fields of cancer phototherapy and immunotherapy. MOF nanoplatforms have successfully demonstrated their ability to address several drawbacks associated with cancer phototherapy and immunotherapy, enabling an effective and low-side-effect combinatorial synergistical treatment for cancer. In the coming years, new advancements in MOFs, particularly regarding the development of highly stable multi-function MOF nanocomposites, may revolutionize the field of oncology.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based optical nanoprobes for luminescence and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications have been receiving tremendous attention. Every element in the MOF structure, including the metal nodes, the organic linkers, and the guest molecules, can be used as a source to build single/multi-emission signals for the intended analytical purposes. For SERS applications, the MOF can not only be used directly as a SERS substrate, but can also improve the stability and reproducibility of the metal-based substrates. Additionally, the porosity and large specific surface area give MOF a sieving effect and target molecule enrichment ability, both of which are helpful for improving detection selectivity and sensitivity. This mini-review summarizes the advances of MOF-based optical detection methods, including luminescence and SERS, and also provides perspectives on future efforts.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer has become an urgent threat to global female healthcare. Cisplatin, as the traditional chemotherapeutic agent against ovarian cancer, retains several limitations, such as drug resistance and dose-limiting toxicity. In order to solve the above problems and promote the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy, combining chemotherapy and phototherapy has aroused wide interest. In this study, we constructed a versatile cisplatin prodrug-conjugated therapeutic platform based on ultrasmall CuS-modified Fe(III)-metal-organic frameworks (MIL-88) (named M-Pt/PEG-CuS) for tumor-specific enhanced synergistic chemo-/phototherapy. After intravenous injection, M-Pt/PEG-CuS presented obvious accumulation in tumor and Fe(III)-MOFs possessed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to guide synergy therapy. Both in vitro and in vivo experimental results showed that M-Pt/PEG-CuS could not only successfully inhibit tumor growth by combining chemotherapy and NIR-II PTT but also avoid the generation of liver damage by the direct treatment of cisplatin(II). Our work presented the development of the nanoplatform as a novel NIR-II photothermal agent, as well as gave a unique combined chemo-photothermal therapy strategy, which might provide new ways of ovarian cancer therapy for clinical translation.

Abstract
Due to the limitations resulting from hypoxia and the self-aggregation of photosensitizers, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has not been applied clinically to treat most types of solid tumors. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a common metal-organic framework that has ultra-high porosity, an adjustable structure, good biocompatibility, and pH-induced biodegradability. In this review, we summarize the applications of ZIF-8 and its derivatives in PDT. This review is divided into two parts. In the first part, we summarize progress in the application of ZIF-8 to enhance PDT and realize theranostics. We discuss the use of ZIF-8 to avoid the self-aggregation of photosensitizers, alleviate hypoxia, increase the PDT penetration depth, and combine PDT with multi-modal imaging. In the second part, we summarize how ZIF-8 can achieve synergistic PDT with other anti-tumor therapies, including chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, chemodynamic therapy, starvation therapy, protein therapy, gene therapy, and immunotherapy. Finally, we highlight the challenges that must be overcome for ZIF-8 to be widely applied in PDT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review of ZIF-8-based nanoplatforms for PDT.

Abstract
Immunotherapy, including checkpoint blockade immunotherapy (CBI), has witnessed remarkable progress in cancer therapy. Nonetheless, significant obstacles to successful immunotherapy remain. Notably, tumour non-responsiveness to immunotherapy due to immunosuppressive tumour microenvironments (TMEs). To revitalize immunosuppressive TMEs various therapeutic strategies have been reported by researchers. Immunostimulatory adjuvant treatments (IAT) are the most widely investigated ones. Due to their biodegradability, compositional tenability, and inherent immune effectiveness, nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) with metal nodes and organic linkers can be used as versatile nanomaterials for IAT. This review summarizes the progress in nMOF-based tumour immunotherapy in promoting immunostimulatory TMEs. And in combination with other cancer immunotherapies to increase tumour immunogenicity and antitumor efficacy. Finally, the challenges of nMOFs in tumour immunotherapy are also discussed.

Abstract
Chemoimmunotherapy can synergistically enhance the therapeutic effects and decrease the side effects by a combined method. However, the effective targeted codelivery of various chemotherapeutic agents and siRNAs remains challenging. Although nanomedicine-based chemoimmunotherapy has shown great potential in cancer treatment in recent years, further effort is needed to simplify the nanocarrier designs and maintain their effective functions. Here, we report a simple but robust multifunctional liposomal nanocarrier that contains a pH-sensitive liposome (LP) shell and a dendritic core for tumor-targeted codelivery of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) siRNA and doxorubicin (DOX) (siPD-L1@PM/DOX/LPs). siPD-L1@PM/DOX/LPs had a suitable particle size and zeta potential, excellent stability in serum, and pH-sensitive drug release in vitro. They exhibited significant cell proliferation inhibition compared to free DOX and DOX-loaded LPs and could escape endosomes, effectively release siRNA into the cytoplasm of MCF-7 cells, and significantly reduce the PD-L1 expression on tumor cells. In vivo imaging confirmed high accumulation of siPD-L1@PM/DOX/LPs at the tumor site. More importantly, compared with siPD-L1@PM/LPs or DOX alone, siPD-L1@PM/DOX/LPs were more effective in inhibiting tumor growth and activating cytotoxic T cells in vivo. In conclusion, this nanocarrier may hold promise as a codelivery nanoplatform to improve the treatment of various solid tumors.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising anticancer noninvasive method and has great potential for clinical applications. Unfortunately, PDT still has many limitations, such as metastatic tumor at unknown sites, inadequate light delivery and a lack of sufficient oxygen. Recent studies have demonstrated that photodynamic therapy in combination with other therapies can enhance anticancer effects. The development of new nanomaterials provides a platform for the codelivery of two or more therapeutic drugs, which is a promising cancer treatment method. The use of multifunctional nanocarriers for the codelivery of two or more drugs can improve physical and chemical properties, increase tumor site aggregation, and enhance the antitumor effect through synergistic actions, which is worthy of further study. This review focuses on the latest research progress on the synergistic enhancement of PDT by simultaneous multidrug administration using codelivery nanocarriers. We introduce the design of codelivery nanocarriers and discuss the mechanism of PDT combined with other antitumor methods. The combination of PDT and chemotherapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, photothermal therapy, hyperthermia, radiotherapy, sonodynamic therapy and even multidrug therapy are discussed to provide a comprehensive understanding.

Abstract
Exploitation of stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms is of great value for precise and efficient cancer theranostics. Herein, an in situ activable "nanocluster-bomb" detonated by endogenous overexpressing legumain is fabricated for contrast-enhanced tumor imaging and controlled gene/drug release. By utilizing the functional peptides as bioligands, TAMRA-encircled gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) endowed with targeting, positively charged and legumain-specific domains are prepared as quenched building blocks due to the AuNCs' nanosurface energy transfer (NSET) effect on TAMRA. Importantly, the AuNCs can shelter therapeutic cargos of DNAzyme and Dox (Dzs-Dox) to aggregate larger nanoparticles as a "nanocluster-bomb" (AuNCs/Dzs-Dox), which could be selectively internalized into cancer cells by integrin-mediated endocytosis and in turn locally hydrolyzed in the lysosome with the aid of legumain. A "bomb-like" behavior including "spark-like" appearance (fluorescence on) derived from the diminished NSET effect of AuNCs and cargo release (disaggregation) of Dzs-Dox is subsequently monitored. The results showed that the AuNC-based disaggregation manner of the "nanobomb" triggered by legumain significantly improved the imaging contrast due to the activable mechanism and the enhanced cellular uptake of AuNCs. Meanwhile, the in vitro cytotoxicity tests revealed that the detonation strategy based on AuNCs/Dzs-Dox readily achieved efficient gene/chemo combination therapy. Moreover, the super efficacy of combinational therapy was further demonstrated by treating a xenografted MDA-MB-231 tumor model in vivo. We envision that our multipronged design of theranostic "nanocluster-bomb" with endogenous stimuli-responsiveness provides a novel strategy and great promise in the application of high contrast imaging and on-demand drug delivery for precise cancer theranostics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Though the combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) appears to be very attractive in cancer treatment, hypoxia and overproduced glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) limit their efficacy for further application. RESULTS In this work, a smart hypoxia-irrelevant free radical nanogenerator (AIPH/PDA@CuS/ZIF-8, denoted as APCZ) was synthesized in situ via coating copper sulphide (CuS)-embedded zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) on the free radical initiator 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane]-dihydrochloride (AIPH)-loaded polydopamine (PDA). APCZ showed promising GSH-depleting ability and near-infrared (NIR)-II photothermal performance for combined cancer therapy. Once internalized by 4T1 cells, the outer ZIF-8 was rapidly degraded to trigger the release of CuS nanoparticles (NPs), which could react with local GSH and sequentially hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to form hydroxyl radical (·OH) for CDT. More importantly, the hyperthermia generated by APCZ upon 1064 nm laser excitation not only permitted NIR-II photothermal therapy (PTT) and promoted CDT, but also triggered the decomposition of AIPH to give toxic alkyl radical (·R) for oxygen-independent PDT. Besides, the PDA together with CuS greatly decreased the GSH level and resulted in significantly enhanced PDT/CDT in both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. The tumors could be completely eradicated after 14 days of treatment due to the prominent therapeutic effects of PTT/PDT/CDT. Additionally, the feasibility of APCZ as a photoacoustic (PA) imaging contrast agent was also demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS The novel APCZ could realize the cooperative amplification effect of free radicals-based therapies by NIR-II light excitation and GSH consumption, and act as a contrast agent to improve PA imaging, holding tremendous potential for efficient diagnosis and treatment of deep-seated and hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Development of simple and effective synergistic therapy by combination of different therapeutic modalities within one single nanostructure is of great importance for cancer treatment. In this study, by integrating the anticancer drug DOX and plasmonic bimetal heterostructures into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), a stimuli-responsive multifunctional nanoplatform, DOX-Pt-tipped Au@ZIF-8, has been successfully fabricated. Pt nanocrystals with catalase-like activity were selectively grown on the ends of the Au nanorods to form Pt-tipped Au NR heterostructures. Under single 1064 nm laser irradiation, compared with Au NRs and Pt-covered Au NRs, the Pt-tipped Au nanorods exhibit outstanding photothermal and photodynamic properties owing to more efficient plasmon-induced electron-hole separation. The heat generated by laser irradiation can enhance the catalytic activity of Pt and improve the O2 level to relieve tumor hypoxia. Meanwhile, the strong absorption in the NIR-II region and high-Z elements (Au, Pt) of the DOX-Pt-tipped Au@ZIF-8 provide the possibility for photothermal (PT) and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Both in vitro and in vivo experimental results illustrated that the DOX-Pt-tipped Au@ZIF-8 exhibits remarkably synergistic plasmon-enhanced chemo-phototherapy (PTT/PDT) and successfully inhibited tumor growth. Taken together, this work contributes to designing a rational theranostic nanoplatform for PT/CT imaging-guided synergistic chemo-phototherapy under single laser activation.

Abstract
Herein, PPy@MnO2 nanocomposites were first harvested by anchoring MnO2 nanosheets on polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles via an in situ redox reaction, then polyethylene glycol (PEG) modifier and methylene blue (MB) photosensitizer were linked through electrostatic interactions to obtain PPy@MnO2-PEG-MB nanoarchitectures. PPy nanoparticles ensure photothermal therapy (PTT) ability and MnO2 nanosheets ameliorate tumor hypoxia for enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT). Therefore, a multifunctional nanotherapeutic system was constructed for the combined PTT/PDT of tumors. For extracellular photothermal properties, the optimal temperature elevation was 52.6 °C with 54.4% photothermal conversion efficiency. The extracellular PDT ability was measured by detecting 1O2 generation; more 1O2 was produced under acidic conditions in the presence of H2O2 (a simulated tumor microenvironment). The effective cellular uptake of the nanotherapeutic system in HeLa cells was observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). CLSM also indicated that more 1O2 was generated by the nanotherapeutic system as compared to free MB in HeLa cells, confirming the amelioration of tumor hypoxia by MnO2 nanosheets. MTT assays demonstrated that the nanotherapeutic system possessed superior biocompatibility without laser irradiation, and the lowest cell viabilities for single PTT and PDT groups were 13.78%, 38.82% respectively, while there was only 1.29% cell viability in the combined PTT and PDT group. These results suggest that the strategy of assembling PPy with MnO2 for a multifunctional PTT and enhanced PDT nanoplatform was realized, and opens up an unimpeded approach for integrating photothermal reduction materials with MnO2 for use in synergistic PTT and PDT.

Abstract
The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) have attracted a great deal of interest, but tumor hypoxia and glutathione (GSH) overproduction still limit their further applications. Herein, an intelligent reactive oxygen species (ROS) nanogenerator Ce6/GOx@ZIF-8/PDA@MnO2 (denoted as CGZPM; Ce6, GOx, ZIF-8, PDA, MnO2 are chlorin e6, glucose oxidase, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8, polydopamine and manganese dioxide respectively) with O2-generating and GSH-/glucose-depleting abilities was constructed by a facile and green one-pot method. After intake by tumor cells, the outer MnO2 was rapidly degraded by the acidic pH, and the overexpression of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and GSH with abundant Mn2+ and O2 produced would eventually achieve multifunctionality. The Mn2+ acted as an ideal Fenton-like agent and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agent, while the O2 promoted the PDT via hypoxia relief and facilitated the intratumoral glucose oxidation by GOx for starvation therapy (ST). Benefiting from the GOx-based glycolysis process, sufficient H2O2 was generated to improve the CDT efficacy through Mn2+-mediated Fenton-like reaction. Notably, MnO2 and PDA could decrease the tumor antioxidant activity by consuming GSH, resulting in remarkably enhanced PDT/CDT. Such a novel cascade bioreactor with tumor microenvironment (TME)-modulating capability opens new opportunities for ROS-based and combinational treatment paradigms.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is considered to be a revolutionary anti-tumor strategy that may surpass other traditional therapies. Breast cancer is particularly suitable for it theoretically due to upregulation of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) / programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint pathway which exhausts the adaptive immune response mediated by T lymphocytes. However, its blockades exhibit very little effect in breast cancer, owing to the lack of T lymphocytes pre-infiltration and co-existing of intricate immune negative microenvironment including the macrophage-suppressed "Don't eat me" CD47 signal overexpression. Herein, a stimuli-responsive multifunctional nanoplatform (ZIF-PQ-PDA-AUN) is built. Its photothermal therapy can promote the infiltration of T lymphocytes in addition to ablating tumor cells and AUNP-12 and PQ912 further boost both the innate and adaptive immune reactions by cutting off PD-L1 and CD47 signals, respectively. In contrast to earlier single immunotherapy, the nanocomposites exhibit a stronger anti-tumor immune effect without obvious autoimmune side effects, promoting infiltration of T lymphocyte into the tumor site and strengthening phagocytosis of macrophages, even more exciting, significantly reversing pro-tumor M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to anti-tumor M1-like TAMs. The research may provide a promising strategy to develop high-efficient and low-toxic immunotherapy based on nanotechnology.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising tumor treatment modality, but its efficacy is strictly hindered by abnormally upregulated heat shock proteins (HSPs) in tumor cells under heat stress. Herein, we developed a flower-like MnO2-coated polydopamine (PDA@MnO2) core-shell nanoplatform with the surface adsorption of HSP70-silencing DNAzyme (DZ) for enhanced PPT. The PDA core acted as a robust photothermal agent, and also as a reductant to allow the surface growth of MnO2via an in situ reduction of KMnO4. The MnO2 shell enabled a rapid and efficient adsorption of DZ, and more importantly, acted as a metal reservoir to release Mn2+ in response to intracellular stimuli for the in situ activation of DZ, which addressed the key limitation of DZ for biological applications, i.e., metal-dependent activity. As a result, HSP70 was remarkably suppressed for improved PTT efficacy upon laser irradiation, which was explicitly demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Upon intravenous injection, the nanosystem could effectively accumulate in the tumor, and impose potent PTT for complete tumor elimination via inducing tumor cell apoptosis, but without any noticeable toxicity. This work provides a promising nanosystem for enhanced PTT via silencing resistance-related genes, and offers ideas for the design of self-activated gene therapy platforms using DZ.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) represents a promising class of therapeutic nucleic acid drugs, while delivery challenges remain that impede the advancement of miRNA therapy, largely because of in vivo instability and low delivery efficiency. Herein, we discover the dual roles of metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles (ZIF-8) as nanocarriers for miRNA delivery and adjuvants for chemodynamic therapy. The miR-34a-m@ZIF-8 complex demonstrated efficient cellular uptake and lysosomal stimuli-responsive miRNA release. Zn2+ triggered the generation of reactive oxygen species, which consequently induced apoptosis of tumor cells. Released miR-34a-m led to a remarkable decrease in expression of Bcl-2 at both mRNA and protein levels and enhanced cancer cell apoptosis. In vivo experiments showed high efficacy of using miR-34a-m@ZIF-8 to suppress tumor growth via synergistic gene/chemodynamic therapy in a mouse model of triple-negative breast cancer. Our work demonstrates MOFs as a promising nanoplatform for efficient synergetic gene/chemodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Previously most of the applications of targeting components have been based on the enhanced permeability and retention effect achieved using folic acid, which consider the side effects of the targeting components to some extent. Herein, we report a new strategy to decorate the surface of MOFs using a pemetrexed (MTA) targeting molecule, affording a new drug delivery system of ALA@UIO-66-NH-FAM/MTA (ALA = 5-amino-levulinic acid and FAM = 5-carboxyfluorescein). The confocal microscopy and flow cytometry results showed that ALA@UIO-66-NH-FAM/MTA presented a better targeting effect compared to ALA@UIO-66-NH-FAM/FA (FA = folic acid) and indicated a gradually increasing tendency of the targeting effect with the increasing expression of folate receptors on the tumor cell cytomembrane. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity experiment indicates that the combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy is a more effective therapy model than single chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy. This work demonstrates the first attempt at folic acid antagonist (MTA) modification for NMOFs, providing a new concept for the design of MOFs with folate receptor targeting capacity for clinical applications.

Abstract
Immunotherapy techniques, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies and cancer vaccines, have been burgeoning with great success, particularly for specific cancer types. However, side effects with fatal risks, dysfunction in tumor microenvironment and low immune response rates remain the bottlenecks in immunotherapy. Nano metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs), with an accurate structure and a narrow size distribution, are emerging as a solution to these problems. In addition to their function of temporospatial delivery, a large library of their compositions, together with flexibility in chemical interaction and inherent immune efficacy, offers opportunities for various designs of nMOFs for immunotherapy. In this review, we overview state-of-the-art research on nMOFs-based immunotherapies as well as their combination with other therapies. We demonstrate that nMOFs are predominantly customized for vaccine delivery or tumor-microenvironment modulation. Finally, a prospect of nMOFs in cancer immunotherapy will be discussed.

Abstract
Multimodal imaging-guided synergistic anticancer strategies have attracted increasing attention for efficient diagnosis and therapy of cancer. Herein, a multifunctional nanotheranostic agent FePtMn-Ce6/FA (FPMCF NPs) is constructed by covalently anchoring photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and targeting molecule folic acid (FA) on ultrasmall homogeneous ternary FePtMn nanocrystals. Response to tumor microenvironment (TME), FPMCF NPs can release Fe2+ to catalyze H2 O2 into •OH by Fenton reaction and simultaneously catalyze hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) into O2 to overcome the tumor hypoxia barrier. Released O2 is further catalyzed into 1 O2 under 660 nm laser irradiation with Ce6. Thus, the FPMCF NPs exhibit superior dual-ROS oxidization capability including ferroptosis chemodynamic oxidization and 1 O2 -based photodynamic oxidization. Interestingly, FPMCF NPs reveal strong photothermal conversion efficiency exposed to an 808 nm laser, which can assist dual-ROS oxidization to suppress solid tumor remarkably. Additionally, Mn2+ can be released from FPMCF NPs to enhance longitudinal relaxivity (T1 -weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging) and Fe-synergistic transverse relaxivity (T2 -weighted MR imaging), which is convenient for diagnosis of solid tumors. Meanwhile, the fluorescent/photothermal (FL/PT) imaging function of FPMCF NPs can also accurately monitor tumor location. Therefore, FPMCF NPs with multimodal MR/FL/PT imaging-guided synergistic chemodynamic/photodynamic/photothermal cancer therapy capability have potential bioapplication in bionanomedicine field.

Abstract
Hollow nanomaterials have been used as an attractive platform for the integration of multiple bioactive components for effective anticancer therapy. Herein, we report a novel and facile strategy for the fabrication of hollow and monodispersed zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) by the self-template method with folic acid (FA) as a bioetcher. Gold nanocluster and folic acid were critical for the formation of the hollow ZIF-8 (thickness of 38 nm) during solvothermal synthesis. By integrating CuS nanoparticles (size of 4.9 nm), the resultant quadruple ZIF-8/Au/CuS/FA nanocomposites (denoted as FACZ) exhibited effective anticancer activities on FA receptor-positive MCF-7 and HepG-2 tumor cells but a weak killing effect on HCMEC/D3 cells. Folic acid molecules were conjugated to the external surface of FACZ, which simultaneously offered an excellent tumor-targeting ability and fluorescence imaging property. Although the photothermal therapy caused by CuS was not so obvious due to partial reduction, the nanosized FACZ after cellular uptake was able to release Cu(I) to enable chemodynamic therapy. This catalytically decomposed H2O2 to produce highly reactive oxygen species via the Fenton-like reaction as determined by the extracellular and intracellular hydroxyl radical. Our work offers a simple route for the fabrication of hollow ZIF-8 nanocomposite with active and selective anticancer activity. This is envisaged to have great potentials in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based drug delivery nanosystems with both precise drug release and multidrug codelivery capabilities have emerged as promising candidates for cancer treatment. However, challenges are posed by the limited number of suitable payload types, uncontrollable drug leakage, and lack of chemical groups for postmodification. To overcome those challenges, we developed a core-shell nanocomposite composed of zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90) coated with spermine-modified acetalated dextran (SAD) by a facile microfluidics-based nanoprecipitation method. This nanocomposite could serve as a multidrug storage reservoir for the loading of two drugs with distinct properties, where the hydrophilic doxorubicin (DOX) was coordinately attached to the ZIF-90 framework, and hydrophobic photosensitizer IR780 was loaded into the SAD shell, enabling the combination therapy of photodynamic treatment with chemotherapy. Meanwhile, equipping ZIF-90 with a SAD shell not only substantially improved the pH-responsive drug release of ZIF-90 but also enabled the postformation conjugation of ZIF-90 with hyaluronic acid for specific CD44 recognition, thereby facilitating precise drug delivery to CD44-overexpressed tumor. Such a simple microfluidics-based strategy can efficiently overcome the limitations of solely MOF-based DDSs and greatly extend the flexibility of MOF biomedical applications.

Abstract
Effective multimodality phototheranostics under deep-penetration laser excitation is highly desired for tumor medicine, which is still at a deadlock due to lack of versatile photosensitizers with absorption located in the long-wavelength region. Herein, we demonstrate a stable organic photosensitizer nanoparticle based on molecular engineering of benzo[c]thiophene (BT)-based photoactivated molecules with strong wavelength-tunable absorption in the near-infrared region. Via molecular design, the absorption and singlet oxygen generation of BT molecules would be reliably tuned. Importantly, the nanoparticles with a red-shifted absorption peak of 843 nm not only show over 10-fold reactive oxygen species yield compared with indocyanine green but also demonstrate a notable photothermal effect and photoacoustic signal upon 808 nm excitation. The in vitro and in vivo experiments substantiate good multimodal anticancer efficacy and imaging performance of BT theranostics. This work provides an organic photosensitizer nanoparticle with long-wavelength excitation and high photoenergy conversion efficiency for multimodality phototherapy.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles are widely reported as a pH-sensitive drug delivery carrier with high loading capacity for tumor therapy. However, the mechanism of intracellular corrosion of ZIF-8 and the corresponding biological effects especially for autophagy response have been rarely reported. Herein, the as-synthesized ZIF-8 was demonstrated to induce mTOR independent and pro-death autophagy. Interestingly, the autophagic process participated in the corrosion of ZIF-8. Subsequently, zinc ion release and the generation of reactive oxygen species due to its corrosion in the acidic compartments were directly responsible for tumor cell killing. In addition, ZIF-8 could sensitize tumor cells to chemotherapy by switching cytoprotective to death promoting autophagy induced by doxorubicin. The mTOR signaling pathway activation was demonstrated to restrict tumor chemotherapy efficiency. Hence, a combined platform rapamycin encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (Rapa@ZIF-8) was constructed and demonstrated a more significant chemo-sensitized effect relative to ZIF-8 nanoparticles or rapamycin treatment alone. Lastly, the combined administration of Rapa@ZIF-8 and doxorubicin exhibited an outstanding synergistic antitumor effect without any obvious toxicity to the major organs of mice. Collectively, the optimized nanoplatform, Rapa@ZIF-8, provides a proof of concept for intentionally interfering mTOR pathway and utilizing the switch of survival-to death-promoting autophagy for adjunct chemotherapy.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy, in which light is converted into heat and triggers local hyperthermia to ablate tumors, presents an inherently specific and noninvasive treatment for tumor tissues. In this area, the development of efficient photothermal agents (PTAs) has always been a central topic. Although many efforts have been made on the investigation of novel molecular architectures and photothermal materials over the past decades, PTAs can cause severe damage to normal tissues because of the poor tumor aggregate ability and high irradiation density. Recently, dual-targeted photothermal agents (DTPTAs) provide an attractive strategy to overcome these problems and enhance cancer therapy. DTPTAs are functionalized with two classes of targeting units, including tumor environment targeting sites, tumor targeting sites and organelle targeting sites. In this perspective, typical targeted ligands and representative examples of photothermal therapeutic agents with dual-targeted properties are systematically summarized and recent advances using DTPTAs in tumor therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
Despite its great potential in cancer therapy, phototherapy, including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), often cause metastasis of tumors. Immunotherapy has revolutionized the cancer treatment owing to the capability of activating immune system to eliminate tumors. However, the integration of phototherapy and immunotherapy in a single nanoagent for cancer therapy is still a challenging task. Here, we fabricated (Cu9S5@mSiO2-PpIX@MnO2@CpG (CSPM@CpG)) as a synergistic therapeutic model for phototherapy enhanced immunotherapy. The intracellular uptake of cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) promoted the infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in tumor tissue, further stimulating the production of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and remarkably elevating the immune response level. Excellent anti-tumor effects have been achieved by synergistic PTT/PDT/immunotherapy. The metastasis of tumors was effectively inhibited by the immune response of CpG. Thus, our proposed work provides a strategy to combine phototherapy with immunotherapy to enhance the therapeutic efficiency and further inhibit metastasis of tumors. CpG oligonucleotides can stimulate an anticancer immune response. Zhou et al. now develop nanoparticles that can deliver CpG, which promotes cancer cell death after photothermal and photodynamic therapy in vitro and in vivo, concomitant with an immunological response.

Abstract
The progressive development of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), as a subfamily of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and their unique features, including tunable pore size, large surface area, high thermal stability, and biodegradability/biocompatibility, have made them attractive in the field of biomedicine, especially for drug delivery and biomineralization applications. The high porosity of ZIFs gives them the opportunity for encapsulating a high amount of therapeutic drugs, proteins, imaging cargos, or a combination of them to construct advanced multifunctional drug delivery systems (DDSs) with combined therapeutic and imaging capabilities. This review summarizes recent strategies on the design and fabrication of ZIF-based nansystems and their exploration in the biomedical field. First, recent developments for the adjustment of particle size, functionality, and morphology of ZIFs are discussed, which are important for achieving optimized therapeutic/theranostic nanosystems. Second, recent trends on the application of ZIF nanocarriers for the loading of diverse cargos, including anticancer medicines, antibiotic drugs, enzymes, proteins, photosensitizers, as well as imaging and photothermal agents, are investigated in order to understand how multifunctional DDSs can be designed based on the ZIF nanoparticles to treat different diseases, such as cancer and infection. Finally, prospects on the future research direction and applications of ZIF-based nanomedicines are discussed.

Abstract
The extreme complexity and heterogeneity of fatal tumors requires the development of combination phototherapy considering the limited therapeutic efficiency of conventional monomodal photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photothermal therapy (PTT).
The extreme complexity and heterogeneity of fatal tumors requires the development of combination phototherapy considering the limited therapeutic efficiency of conventional monomodal photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photothermal therapy (PTT). However, tumor-specific drug administration and the accompanying hypoxia-restrained PDT present the main obstacles for executing an efficient combination phototherapy. Developing a highly biocompatible, tumor-specific, near infrared absorbing, and oxygen (O2)-evolving multifunctional nanoplatform is thus crucial for an effective PDT-based combination therapy. In this contribution, a multifunctional ZIF-8-gated polydopamine nanoparticle (PDA) carrier was synthesized for simultaneously delivering a photosensitizer and a catalase (CAT) into tumor cells, thus realizing a cooperatively enhanced combination photodynamic and photothermal therapy, as systematically demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. The ZIF-8 gatekeeper facilitates the simultaneous and effective delivery of these functional payloads, and the subsequent tumor acidic pH-stimulated drug release. This leads to a significant improvement of combination efficacy by ameliorating tumor hypoxic conditions since the CAT-mediated self-sufficient O2 generation could substantially promote an efficient PDT operation. In addition, this nanoplatform can effectively convert near infrared photoradiation into heat, resulting in thermally induced elimination of cancerous cells. As an intelligent multi-mode therapeutic nanosystem, this inorganic/organic hybrid nanosystem showed great potential for accurate cancer diagnosis and immediate therapy.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has achieved promising clinical responses in recent years owing to the potential of controlling metastatic disease. However, there is a limited research to prove the superior therapeutic efficacy of immunotherapy on breast cancer compared with melanoma and non-small-cell lung cancer because of its limited expression of PD-L1, low infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), and high level of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Herein, a multifunctional nanoplatform (FA-CuS/DTX@PEI-PpIX-CpG nanocomposites, denoted as FA-CD@PP-CpG) for synergistic phototherapy (photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT) included) and docetaxel (DTX)-enhanced immunotherapy is successfully developed. The nanocomposites exhibit excellent PDT efficacy and photothermal conversion capability under 650 and 808 nm irradiation, respectively. More significantly, FA-CD@PP-CpG with no obvious side effects can remarkably inhibit the tumor growth in vivo based on a 4T1-tumor-bearing mice modal. A low dosage of loaded DTX in FA-CD@PP-CpG can promote infiltration of CTLs to improve efficacy of anti-PD-L1 antibody (aPD-L1), suppress MDSCs, and effectively polarize MDSCs toward M1 phenotype to reduce tumor burden, further to enhance the antitumor efficacy. Taken together, FA-CD@PP-CpG nanocomposites offer an efficient synergistic therapeutic modality in docetaxel-enhanced immunotherapy for clinical application of breast cancer.

Abstract
As one type of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst for Zn-air battery, herein, FeNi alloy was successfully embedded into N-doped carbon with tailored architectures by integrating MOF precursor method and polymer coating/encapsulation strategy. The content of Fe in primary precursor has been proven to be able to obviously affect the morphology of the final catalyst. Benefiting from the mature active site (e.g. FeNi alloy) and the stable carbon matrix, a series of catalysts exhibited good performance towards ORR and OER. Of great significance, a particular ratio of Fe/Ni happened to be able to catalyze the growth of 1D bamboo-like carbon nanotubes, giving rise to a conductive network to diffuse ORR/OER-relevant species. Apparently, a low discharge-charge voltage gap (1.1 V) was acquired in a liquid Zn-air battery with 1.5FeNi@NCNT air cathode. Moreover, the solid-state Zn-air battery assembled on it also displayed a high open circuit voltage (1.38 V) and yielded a high power density of 81 mW cm-2 at 0.83 V. This would leverage a choice to tailor carbon geometry of FeNi alloy-based active sites for ORR/OER and further serve for devices of practical significance.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been introduced as a photochemical process for treatment by causing cancer cell death and necrosis, with higher accuracy and few side effects. However, the hydrophobicity of most photosensitizers and hypoxia at the tumor sites are two crucial problems to be solved to achieve a successful PDT. Herein, we designed and constructed a novel metal-organic framework-based drug delivery system (BSA-MnO2/Ce6@ZIF-8) with tumor microenvironment controllability. In our system, the hydrophobic photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) was one-pot incorporated into the matrix of zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) to form the Ce6@ZIF-8 compound, which can efficiently keep the Ce6 molecules isolated and avoid them self-aggregate, and the loading rate of Ce6 was high up to 28.3 wt %. The bovine serum albumin (BSA)-MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with catalase-like activity were loaded onto the surface of ZIF-8, having the capacity for self-sufficiency of O2 under the circumstance of H2O2 in acid solution, relieving hypoxia in cancer cells and thereby improving the PDT efficiency greatly when irradiated by low power density (230 mW/cm2) 650 nm light. Moreover, the MnO2 NPs react with H2O2 in acid solution to produce Mn2+, granting the system the qualification of a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging. Therefore, our nanoplatform would further contribute to the treatment of hypoxic tumors in clinical practice.

Abstract
The multifunctional effect of a single molecule for therapeutic functionalities on a single theranostic nanosystem has a great significance to enhance the accuracy of diagnosis and improve the efficacy of therapy. Herein, a biocompatible multistep phototherapeutic system (Ppa-Cy7-PEG-biotin) that contains a photosensitizer pyropheophorbide A (Ppa) with the covalent conjunction of a near-infrared (NIR) cyanine dye (Cy7) was successfully fabricated and functionalized with biotin for flexible specific tumor-targeting phototherapy. These theranostic micelles will disaggregate after NIR irradiation via the photodegradation of cyanine accompanied by the photothermal conversion and the optically controlled release for the restoration of photodynamic function of quenched Ppa. Consecutively, promoted treatments of photosensitive molecules greatly prolonged the tumor retention time and treatment efficiency, having a multistep antitumor effect both in vitro and in vivo. Different from the simple phototherapeutic configurations that only act on the superficial areas of tumors at mild doses, the multistep therapy can be competent for broadly damaging the superficial and deeper regions of tumors at the same dose. Therefore, as opposed to the general combination phototherapeutic approach, this strategy presents a photoactivation-based multistep phototheranostic platform with an enormous potential in enhanced combined phototherapy for cancer.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy, assisted with long-term immunological anti-tumor effect, has great potential in clinical medical practice. Herein, a brand new DNA-template hydrothermal method was developed to prepare novel Co9S8 nanoplatform with outstanding hydrophily and mesoporous internal structure. Based on the mesoporous Co9S8 nanoplatform, MRI-guided enhanced photothermal-immunology "double-hit" synergistic cancer therapy was achieved, through the HSP90 inhibition and immunology activation effect of the loaded epigallocatechin gallate and oxaliplatin. It is noteworthy that the drugs were stepwise released from the nanoplatform under the trigger of pH and heat, respectively. More importantly, the high efficient synergistic cancer therapy and long-term immunological anti-tumor effect were confirmed in vivo. The developed porous nanoplatform, taking accounts of both high efficient tumor ablation and long-term anti-tumor effect, provide a new strategy to the development of next generation nanomedicine for clinical cancer treatment.

Abstract
The efficacy of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy is largely limited by oxygen deficiency in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. To solve these problems, we fabricated a novel NIR-responsive nanosystem which could co-deliver oxygen and anticancer drug DOX. An oxygen self-sufficient amphiphile (F-IR780-PEG) was first synthesized and subsequently utilized to load anticancer drug DOX to form nanoparticles (F/DOX nanoparticles). Due to the high oxygen capacity of such nanoparticles, the hypoxic tumor microenvironment was greatly modulated after these nanoparticles reached the tumor region, and the results revealed that hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIF-1α) was down-regulated and the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was then reduced, which were in favor of chemotherapy. Under light irradiation at 808 nm, IR780 could efficiently produce singlet oxygen to damage cancer cells by photodynamic therapy (PDT). Simultaneously, the IR780 linkage could be cleaved by singlet oxygen generated by itself and resulted in DOX release, which further caused cell damage by chemotherapy. With the combination of PDT and chemotherapy, F/DOX nanoparticles showed remarkable therapeutic efficacy under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Furthermore, the F/DOX nanoparticles are favorable for imaging-guided tumor therapy due to the inherent fluorescence properties of IR780. We thus believe that the synergistic treatment described here leads to an ideal therapeutic approach to hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Construction of stimuli-responsive multifunctional nanoparticles is critical for nanotherapeutic delivery. Though metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been emerged as promising delivery vehicles, the therapeutic efficacy of MOFs in cancer treatment is limited by the lack of a general approach for the preparation of stimuli-responsive multifunctional MOFs. We show that the combination of a versatile coating material polydopamine with MOFs enables facile integration of different functional therapeutics, obtaining stimuli-responsive multifunctional MOFs with extensive photothermal efficiency and outstanding capability to abrogate tumors by chemo-photothermal therapy. Exemplary MOFs including ZIF-8, UiO-66, and MIL-101 were utilized to prepare stimuli-responsive multifunctional MOFs to illustrate the generality of the strategy. This approach enables targeted drug delivery and stimuli-responsive release of multi-therapeutics and allows combination therapy with excellent in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity. Taking into account the diversity of MOFs and different functional molecules, this work provides flexible access to programmable MOF nanoparticles for specific biological applications.
