Abstract
Starvation therapy has shown promise as a cancer treatment, but its efficacy is often limited when used alone. In this work, a multifunctional nanoscale cascade enzyme system, named CaCO3@MnO2-NH2@GOx@PVP (CMGP), was fabricated for enhanced starvation/chemodynamic combination cancer therapy. CMGP is composed of CaCO3 nanoparticles wrapped in a MnO2 shell, with glucose oxidase (GOx) adsorbed and modified with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). MnO2 decomposes H2O2 in cancer cells into O2, which enhances the efficiency of GOx-mediated starvation therapy. CaCO3 can be decomposed in the acidic cancer cell environment, causing Ca2+ overload in cancer cells and inhibiting mitochondrial metabolism. This synergizes with GOx to achieve more efficient starvation therapy. Additionally, the H2O2 and gluconic acid produced during glucose consumption by GOx are utilized by MnO2 with catalase-like activity to enhance O2 production and Mn2+ release. This process accelerates glucose consumption, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and CaCO3 decomposition, promoting the Ca2+ release. CMGP can alleviate tumor hypoxia by cycling the enzymatic cascade reaction, which increases enzyme activity and combines with Ca2+ overload to achieve enhanced combined starvation/chemodynamic therapy. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that CMGP has effective anticancer abilities and good biosafety. It represents a new strategy with great potential for combined cancer therapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-centered chemodynamic therapy (CDT) holds significant potential for tumor-specific treatment. However, insufficient endogenous H2O2 and extra glutathione within tumor microenvironment (TME) severely deteriorate the CDT's effectiveness. Herein, rich-Zn-Co3O4/N-doped porous carbon (Zn-Co3O4/NC) was fabricated by two-step pyrolysis, and applied to build high-efficiency nano-platform for synergistic cancer therapy upon combination with glucose oxidase (GOx), labeled Zn-Co3O4/NC-GOx for clarity. Specifically, the multiple enzyme-like activities of the Zn-Co3O4/NC were scrutinously investigated, including peroxidase-like activity to convert H2O2 to O2∙-, catalase-like activity to decompose H2O2 into O2, and oxidase-like activity to transform O2 to O2∙-, which achieved the CDT through the catalytic cascade reaction. Simultaneously, GOx reacted with intracellular glucose to produce gluconic acid and H2O2, realizing starvation therapy. In the acidic TME, the Zn-Co3O4/NC-GOx rapidly caused intracellular Zn2+ pool overload and disrupted cellular homeostasis for ion-intervention therapy. Additionally, the Zn-Co3O4/NC exhibited glutathione peroxidase-like activity, which consumed glutathione in tumor cells and reduced the ROS consumption for ferroptosis. The tumor treatments offer some constructive insights into the nanozyme-mediated catalytic medicine, coupled by avoiding the TME limitations.

Abstract
The metabolite transport inhibition of tumor cells holds promise to achieve anti-tumor efficacy. Herein, we presented an innovative strategy to hinder the delivery of metabolites through the in-situ besieging tumor cells with polyphenolic polymers that strongly adhere to the cytomembrane of tumor cells. Simultaneously, these polymers underwent self-crosslinking under the induction of tumor oxidative stress microenvironment to form an adhesive coating on the surface of the tumor cells. This polyphenol coating effectively obstructed glucose uptake, reducing metabolic products such as lactic acid, glutathione, and adenosine triphosphate, while also causing reactive oxygen species to accumulate in the tumor cells. The investigation of various tumor models, including 2D cells, 3D multicellular tumor spheroids, and xenograft tumors, demonstrated that the polyphenolic polymers effectively inhibited the growth of tumor cells by blocking key metabolite transport processes. Moreover, this highly adhesive coating could bind tumor cells to suppress their metastasis and invasion. This work identified polyphenolic polymers as a promising anticancer candidate with a mechanism by impeding the mass transport of tumor cells.

Abstract
The rapid proliferation of tumors is highly dependent on the nutrition supply of blood vessels. Cutting off the nutrient supply to tumors is an effective strategy for cancer treatment, known as starvation therapy. Although various hydrogel-based biomaterials have been developed for starvation therapy through glucose consumption or intravascular embolization, the limitations of single-mode starvation therapy hinder their therapeutic effects. Herein, we propose a dual-function nutrition deprivation strategy that can block the nutrients delivery through extravascular gelation shrinkage and inhibit neovascularization through angiogenesis inhibitors based on a novel NIR-responsive nanocomposite hydrogel. CuS nanodots-modified MgAl-LDH nanosheets loaded with angiogenesis inhibitor (sorafenib, SOR) are incorporated into the poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogel by radical polymerization to obtain the composite hydrogel (SOR@LDH-CuS/P). The SOR@LDH-CuS/P hydrogel can deliver hydrophobic SOR with a NIR-responsive release behavior, which could decrease the tumor vascular density and accelerate cancer cells apoptosis. Moreover, the SOR@LDH-CuS/P hydrogel exhibits higher (3.5 times) compressive strength than that of the PNIPAAm, which could squeeze blood vessels through extravascular gelation shrinkage. In vitro and in vivo assays demonstrate that the interruption of nutrient supply by gelation shrinkage and the prevention of angiogenesis by SOR is a promising strategy to inhibit tumor growth for multimode starvation therapy.

Abstract
Tumor recurrence and wound healing represent significant burdens for tumor patients after the surgical removal of melanomas. Wound dressings with wound healing and anticancer therapeutic abilities could help to solve these issues. Thus, a hybrid hydrogel made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethylene imine (PEI) was prepared by cross-linking imine bond and boronic acid bond. This hydrogel was loaded with ruthenium nanorods (Ru NRs) and glucose oxidase (GOx) and named as nanocomposite hydrogel (Ru/GOx@Hydrogel), exhibiting remarkable photothermal/photodynamic/starvation antitumor therapy and wound repair abilities. Ru NRs are bifunctional phototherapeutic agents that simultaneously exhibit intrinsic photothermal and photodynamic functions. Three-dimensional composite hydrogel loaded with GOx can also consume glucose in the presence of O2 during tumor starvation therapy. Near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered hyperthermia can not only promote the consumption of glucose, but also facilitate the ablation of residual cancer cells. The antitumor effect of the Ru/GOx@Hydrogel resulted in significant improvements, compared to those observed with either phototherapy or starvation therapy alone. Additionally, the postoperative wound was substantially healed after treatment with Ru/GOx@Hydrogel and NIR irradiation. Therefore, the Ru/GOx@Hydrogel can be used as a multi-stimulus-responsive nanoplatform that could facilitate on-demand controlled drug release, and be used as a promising postoperative adjuvant in combination therapy.

Abstract
6-Diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON) is a potent glutamine antagonist with toxic side effects; in order to reduce these effects, multiple prodrugs have been designed. However, there are currently no reports of a DON prodrug with a defined mechanism to achieve high tumor selectivity. To improve the selective toxicity of DON to tumor cells while reducing systemic toxicity, a hypoxia-activated prodrug, termed HDON, was designed. HDON achieved remarkable tumor suppression of 76.4 ± 5.2% without leading to weight loss in an H22 murine liver cancer model with high hypoxia. Moreover, to augment the therapeutic efficacy of HDON, combretastatin A4 nanoparticles were used to aggravate tumor hypoxia of MC38 murine colon cancer and 4T1 murine breast cancer, activate HDON to DON, and stimulate a robust anti-tumor immune response while selectively killing in tumor cells in vivo, achieving significantly elevated tumor suppression rates of 98.3 ± 3.4% and 98.1 ± 3.1%, with cure rates of 80.0% and 20.0%, respectively.

Abstract
One of the major challenges in effective cancer therapy arises because of the hypoxic microenvironment in the tumor. This compromises the efficacy of both chemo- and radiotherapy, and thus hinders patient outcomes. To solve this problem, we constructed polydopamine (PDA)-cloaked Fe-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) loaded with d-arginine (d-Arg), glucose oxidase (GOX), and the chemotherapeutic drug tirapazamine (TPZ). These offer simultaneous multifaceted therapy combining chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/radiotherapy (RT)/starvation therapy (ST)/gas therapy (GT) and chemotherapy. The particles further can act as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. GOX catalyses the conversion of endogenous glucose and O2 to hydrogen peroxide and gluconic acid, blocking the cells' energy supply and providing ST. With the resultant acidification of the local environment, the breakdown of the MOF releases TPZ (for chemotherapy) and Fe3+, which reacts with H2O2 to produce reactive oxygen species and thus stimulates the conversion of d-Arg to NO for GT and RT sensitization. The PDA coating not only seals the pores and chelates Fe3+ to enhance the T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) properties, but also is used to graft folate bovine serum albumin (FA-BSA) and thereby target the tumor site. The combined administration of low doses of X-ray irradiation and nanoparticles reduces the side effects on healthy tissue and can prevent lung metastases in mice. This work highlights the synergistic treatment of osteosarcoma via ST/GT/CDT/RT/MRI/ chemotherapy using a PDA-cloaked MOF system.

Abstract
The high nutrient and energy demand of tumor cells compared to normal cells to sustain rapid proliferation offer a potentially auspicious avenue for implementing starvation therapy. However, conventional starvation therapy, such as glucose exhaustion and vascular thrombosis, can lead to systemic toxicity and exacerbate tumor hypoxia. Herein, we developed a new "valve-off" starvation tactic, which was accomplished by closing the valve of glucose transporter protein 1 (GLUT1). Specifically, dihydroartemisinin (DHA), 2,20-azobis [2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl) propane] dihydrochloride (AI), and Ink were co-encapsulated in a sodium alginate (ALG) hydrogel. Upon irradiation with the 1064 nm laser, AI rapidly disintegrated into alkyl radicals (R•), which exacerbated the DHA-induced mitochondrial damage through the generation of reactive oxygen species and further reduced the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Simultaneously, the production of R• facilitated DHA-induced starvation therapy by suppressing GLUT1, which in turn reduced glucose uptake. Systematic in vivo and in vitro results suggested that this radical-enhanced "valve-off" strategy for inducing tumor cell starvation was effective in reducing glucose uptake and ATP levels. This integrated strategy induces tumor starvation with efficient tumor suppression, creating a new avenue for controlled, precise, and concerted tumor therapy.

Abstract
Malignant bone tumors result in high rates of disability and death and are difficult to treat in terms of killing tumors and repairing bone defects. Compared with other hyperthermia strategies, magnetic hyperthermia has become an effective therapy for treating malignant bone tumors due to its lack of depth limitations. However, tumor cells express heat shock protein (HSP) to resist hyperthermia, which reduces its curative effect. Competitive ATP consumption can reduce HSP production; fortunately, the basic principle of starvation therapy by glucose oxidase (GOx) is consuming glucose to control ATP production, thereby restricting HSP generation. We developed a triple-functional magnetic gel (Fe3O4/GOx/MgCO3@PLGA) as a magnetic bone repair hydrogels (MBRs) with liquid‒solid phase transition capability to drive magneto-thermal effects to simultaneously trigger GOx release and inhibit ATP production, reducing HSP expression and thereby achieving synergistic therapy for osteosarcoma treatment. Moreover, magnetic hyperthermia improves the effect of starvation therapy on the hypoxic microenvironment and achieves a reciprocal strengthening therapeutic effect. We further demonstrated that in situ MBRs injection effectively suppressed tumor growth in 143B osteosarcoma tumor-bearing mice and an in-situ bone tumor model in the rabbit tibial plateau. More importantly, our study also showed that liquid MBRs could effectively match bone defects and accelerate their reconstruction via magnesium ion release and enhanced osteogenic differentiation to augment the regeneration of bone defects caused by bone tumors, which generates fresh insight into malignant bone tumor treatment and the acceleration of bone defect repair.

Abstract
Tumor cells obtain energy supply from the unique metabolic pathways of mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis, which can be used interchangeably to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for survival. To simultaneously block the two metabolic pathways and sharply cut off ATP supply, a multifunctional "nanoenabled energy interrupter" (called as HNHA-GC) was prepared by attaching glucose oxidase (GOx), hyaluronic acid (HA), and 10-hydroxycamptothecin (CPT) on the surface of degradable hydroxyapatite (NHA) nanorods. After targeted delivery of HNHA-GC to the tumor site by HA, the tumor-selective acid degradation of HNHA-GC as well as the subsequent deliveries of Ca2+, drug CPT, and GOx take place. The released Ca2+ and CPT induce mitochondrial dysfunction by Ca2+ overload and chemotherapy respectively, while the GOx-triggered glucose oxidation inhibits glycolysis by starvation therapy (exogenous effect). The generated H2O2 and released CPT increase the intracellular reactive oxygen (ROS) level. Moreover, the generated H+ and enhanced ROS promote Ca2+ overload by accelerating the degradation of HNHA-GC and preventing intracellular Ca2+ efflux, respectively (endogenous effect). As a result, the HNHA-GC displays a promising therapeutic modality for simultaneously cutting off mitochondrial and glycolytic ATP production through a combination of Ca2+ overload, chemotherapy, and starvation therapy.

Abstract
Platinum-based chemotherapy is a first-line therapeutic regimen against ovarian cancer (OC); however, the therapeutic potential is always reduced by glutamine metabolism. Herein, a valid strategy of inhibiting glutamine metabolism was proposed to cause tumor starvation and chemosensitization. Specifically, reactive oxygen species-responsive liposomes were developed to co-deliver cisplatin (CDDP) and bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) ethyl sulfide (BPTES) [C@B LPs]. The C@B LPs induced effective tumor cell starvation and significantly sensitized OC cells to CDDP by reducing glutathione generation to prevent CDDP detoxification, suppressing ATP production to avoid CDDP efflux, hindering nucleotide synthesis to aggravate DNA damage induced by CDDP, and blocking mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling to promote cell apoptosis. More importantly, C@B LPs remarkably inhibited tumor growth in vivo and reduced the side effects. Taken together, this study provided a successful strategy of synergistic chemosensitization and starvation therapy escalating the rate of therapeutic success in OCs.

Abstract
Cutting off glucose provision by glucose oxidase (GOx) to famish tumors can be an assistance with chemotherapy to eliminate cancer cells. Co-encapsulation of GOx and chemotherapeutics (doxorubicin) within pH-sensitive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could disorder metabolic pathways of cancer cells and generate excessive intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), together. To prevent premature leach of GOx from the porous channels of MOFs, polydopamine (PDA) was deposited on the surface of MOFs, which endowed the delivery system with photothermal conversion ability. Our nanoscaled co-delivery system (denoted as DGZPNs) remains stable with low amount of drug leakage under simulated physiological conditions in vitro and internal environment, while they are triggered to release doxorubicin (DOX) and GOx in acid tumor microenvironment and at high temperature for reinforced chemotherapy. NIR laser irradiation also activates superior photothermal conversion efficiency of PDA (36.9 %) to initiate hyperthermia to ablate tumor tissue. After being phagocytized by 4 T1 cells (breast cancer cells), the DGZPNs delivery system showed a superior therapeutic efficacy with a tumor growth inhibition of 88.9 ± 6.6 % under NIR irradiation, which indicated that the starvation-assisted chemo-photothermal therapy prompts the significant advance of synergistic therapy in a parallelly controlled mode.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy of cancer is limited by insufficient endogenous H2O2 generation and acidity in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we developed a biodegradable theranostic platform (pLMOFePt-TGO) involving composite of dendritic organosilica and FePt alloy, loaded with tamoxifen (TAM) and glucose oxidase (GOx), and encapsulated by platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGFB)-labeled liposomes, that effectively uses the synergy among chemotherapy, enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and anti-angiogenesis. The increased concentration of glutathione (GSH) present in the cancer cells induces the disintegration of pLMOFePt-TGO, releasing FePt, GOx, and TAM. The synergistic action of GOx and TAM significantly enhanced the acidity and H2O2 level in the TME by aerobiotic glucose consumption and hypoxic glycolysis pathways, respectively. The combined effect of GSH depletion, acidity enhancement, and H2O2 supplementation dramatically promotes the Fenton-catalytic behavior of FePt alloys, which, in combination with tumor starvation caused by GOx and TAM-mediated chemotherapy, significantly increases the anticancer efficacy of this treatment. In addition, T2-shortening caused by FePt alloys released in TME significantly enhances contrast in the MRI signal of tumor, enabling a more accurate diagnosis. Results of in vitro and in vivo experiments suggest that pLMOFePt-TGO can effectively suppress tumor growth and angiogenesis, thus providing an exciting potential strategy for developing satisfactory tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an essential substance for maintaining tumor cell survival and proliferation. Inhibiting the ATP-producing pathways has emerged as a promising cancer treatment strategy. However, the antitumor efficiency of ATP inhibitors is compromised by the inter-compensation of multiple ATP-producing pathways in tumor cells and biological barriers in the complex tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we developed metformin (Met) and glucose oxidase (GOx) co-loaded manganese silicon nanoplatform MnSiO3@Met@GOx (MMG) for TME-responsive ATP dual inhibited starvation/chemodynamic synergistic therapy. Under the mildly acidic conditions in TME, MMG was decomposed, releasing Met and GOx for effective ATP suppression by inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and aerobic glycolysis pathways, respectively. Meanwhile, GOx-catalyzed glucose oxidation increased tumor acidity and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration in tumors, which not only accelerated MMG decomposition and drug release but also promoted manganese ions-mediated Fenton-like reaction. In vitro and in vivo experiments further demonstrated the effectiveness and biosafety of MMG-based synergistic therapy. This study provides a novel strategy for tumor treatment based on tumor metabolism regulation.

Abstract
A hyaluronic acid (HA)-based one-pot hydrogel reactor with single syringe injection and immediate gelation was developed for starvation therapy (ST), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), ferroptosis, and photothermal therapy (PTT) against breast cancer. A rheologically tuned hydrogel network, composed of HA-phenylboronic acid (HP) and HA-dopamine (HD), was designed by introducing a boronate ester linkage (phenylboronic acid-dopamine interaction) and polydopamine bond (pH control). Ferrocene (Fc)-conjugated HP (Fc-HP) was synthesized to achieve ferroptosis, Fenton reaction-involved toxic hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation, and photothermal ablation in cancer therapy. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was entrapped in the pH-modulated Fc-HP (Fc-HP°)/HD hydrogel network for converting intracellular glucose to H2O2 to enable its own supply. The GOx/Fc combination-installed hydrogel reactor system can provide sustained ST/CDT/PTT functions along with ferroptosis. Injection of Fc-HP°/HD/GOx hydrogel with single-syringe injectability, shear-thinning feature, and self-healing capability offered a slow biodegradation rate and high safety profiles. Peritumorally injected Fc-HP°/HD/GOx hydrogel also efficiently suppressed the growth of breast cancer based on multifunctional therapeutic approaches with reduced dosing frequency. Hyperthermia induced by near-infrared (NIR) laser absorption may amplify the therapeutic effects of free radicals. It is expected that this Fc-HP°/HD/GOx hydrogel system can be applied to local cancer therapy with high efficacy and safety profiles.

Abstract
Cancer cells rely on glycolysis to support a high proliferation rate. Metformin (Met) is a promising drug for tumor treatment that targets hexokinase 2 (HK2) to block the glycolytic process, thereby further disrupting the metabolism of cancer cells. Herein, an intelligent nanomedicine based on glucose deprivation and glycolysis inhibition is creatively constructed for enhanced cancer synergistic treatment. In brief, Met and glucose oxidase (GOx) was encapsulated into histidine/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (His/ZIF-8), which was followed by coating with Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides to obtain the desired nanomedicine (Met/GOx@His/ZIF-8∼RGD). This smart nanomedicine presents the controllable Met and GOx release behavior in an acidic responsive manner. The liberated Met blocks the glycolysis process via suppressing the activity of HK2 and impairing ATP production, which activates the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway and p53 pathway and damages the Warburg effect, eventually leading to cells apoptosis. And the GOx boosts the glucose shortage for starvation therapy by depleting accumulated glucose. According to in vitro and in vivo assays, the combination of glycolysis inhibition and starvation therapy demonstrates efficient cancer cells growth suppression and superior antitumor properties compared to the Met based or GOx-mediated monotherapy. This work provides an advanced therapeutic strategy via disrupting cellular metabolism against cancer. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The obtained nanomedicine (Met/GOx@His/ZIF-8∼RGD) presents the controllable Met and glucose oxidase (GOx) release behavior in an acidic responsive manner. The liberated Met blocks the glycolysis process via suppressing the activity of HK2 and impairing ATP production, which activates the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway and p53 pathway and damages the Warburg effect, eventually leading to cells apoptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND By hindering energy supply pathway for cancer cells, an alternative therapeutic strategy modality is put forward: tumor starvation therapy. And yet only in this blockade of glucose supply which is far from enough to result in sheer apoptosis of cancer cells. RESULTS In an effort to boost nutrient starvation-dominated cancer therapy, here a novel mitochondrial Ca2+ modulator Alg@CaP were tailor-made for the immobilization of Glucose oxidase for depriving the intra-tumoral glucose, followed by the loading of Curcumin to augment mitochondrial Ca2+ overload to maximize the therapeutic efficiency of cancer starvation therapy via mitochondrial dysfunctions. Also, autophagy inhibitors Obatoclax were synchronously incorporated in this nano-modulator to highlight autophagy inhibition. CONCLUSION Here, a promising complementary modality for the trebling additive efficacy of starvation therapy was described for cutting off the existing energy sources in starvation therapy through Curcumin-augmented mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and Obatoclax-mediated autophagy inhibition.

Abstract
Tumor tissues need vast supply of nutrients and energy to sustain the rapid proliferation of cancer cells. Cutting off the glucose supply represents a promising cancer therapy approach. Herein, a tumor tissue-targeted enzyme nanogel (rGCP nanogel) with self-supply oxygen capability was developed. The enzyme nanogel synergistically enhanced starvation therapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to mitigate the rapid proliferation of cancer cells. The rGCP nanogel was fabricated by copolymerizing two monomers, porphyrin and cancer cells-targeted, Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), onto the glucose oxidase (GOX) and catalase (CAT) surfaces. The cascade reaction within the rGCP nanogel could efficiently consume intracellular glucose catalyzed by GOX. Concurrently, CAT safely decomposed the produced H2O2 with systemic toxicity to promote oxygen generation and achieved low toxicity starvation therapy. The produced oxygen subsequently facilitated the glucose oxidation reaction and significantly enhanced the generation of cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) in the presence of 660 nm light irradiation. Combining starvation therapy and PDT, the designed enzyme nanogel system presented an amplified synergic cancer therapy effect. This approach potentially paved a new way to fabricate a combinatorial therapy approach by employing cascaded catalytic nanomedicines with good tumor selectivity and efficient anti-cancer effect. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The performance of starvation and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is usually suppressed by intrinsic tumorous hypoxia. Herein, an oxygen self-supplied and tumor tissue-targeted enzyme nanogel was created by copolymerization of two monomers, porphyrin and cancer cell-targeted Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), onto the surface of glucose oxidase (GOX) and catalase (CAT), which synergistically enhanced starvation therapy and PDT. Moreover, the enzyme nanogels possessed high stability and could be synthesized straightforwardly. This anti-cancer system provides an approach for constructing a combinatorial therapy approach by employing cascaded catalytic nanomedicine with good tumor selectivity and therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Targeted therapy from cells to mitochondria can improve the bioavailability and therapeutic effects of drugs. Combination therapy by combining two or more therapeutic methods comes to be seen a hopeful strategy to overcome the emergence of resistance. Ferrocene (FC) derivatives of the sandwich structure can not only directly inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells but also catalyze the Fenton reaction to enhance chemodynamic therapy. Berberine (BBR) is a Chinese herbal extract with mitochondria-targeted anticancer activity. In our work, glucose oxidase (GOD) was induced to self-assemble by ferrocene-berberine conjugate (FC-BBR) and indomethacin (IND), which was then encapsulated by hyaluronic acid (HA) and formed nanodrugs (FC-BBR/IND@GOD@HA NPs). Molecular simulation results showed that the drugs could be bound to multiple sites of GOD and induce its self-assembly. The prepared nanoassembly could inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of HepG2 cells, which might be the result of targeted chemodynamic therapy and starvation therapy. Moreover, the FC-BBR/IND@GOD@HA NPs could also promote the production of reactive oxygen species and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and block the cells in S phase. More importantly, it could inhibit the movement and migration of cancer cells, which gave it the potential to prevent tumor metastasis.

Abstract
To prevent postoperative skin tumor recurrence and repair skin wound, a glucose oxidase (GOx)-loaded manganese silicate hollow nanospheres (MS HNSs)-incorporated alginate hydrogel (G/MS-SA) was constructed for starvation-photothermal therapy and skin tissue regeneration. The MS HNSs showed a photothermal conversion efficiency of 38.5%, and endowed composite hydrogels with satisfactory photothermal effect. Taking advantage of the catalytic activity of Mn ions, the composite hydrogels could decompose hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into oxygen (O2), which can alleviate the problem of tumor hypoxia microenvironment and endow GOx with an ability to consume glucose in the presence of O2 for tumor starvation. Meanwhile, hyperthermia triggered by near infrared (NIR) irradiation could not only accelerate the reaction rate of H2O2 decomposition by MS HNSs and glucose consumption by GOx, but also ablate tumor cells. The anti-tumor results showed that synergistic effect of starvation-photothermal therapy led to the highest death rate of tumor cells among all groups, and its anti-tumor effect was obviously improved as compared with that of single photothermal treatment or starvation treatment. Interestingly, the introduction of MS HNSs into hydrogels could distinctly promote the epithelialization of the wound beds by releasing Mn ions as compared with the hydrogels without MS HNSs. It is expected that such a multifunctional platform with starvation-photothermal therapy will be promising for treating tumor-caused skin defects in combination of its regeneration bioactivity in the future.

Abstract
Phototherapies, including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) have been potential noninvasive therapeutic modality with high efficiency, however, there still exist some intrinsic limitations that impede their clinical applications. Herein, taking the advantages of the synergistic effect and high reactivity of manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets and glucose oxidase (GOx), multifunctional MPDA@MnO2-MB-GOx nanoamplifier was constructed for enhanced PTT, PDT, and starvation therapy. In tumor microenvironment (TME), MnO2 nanosheets on the surface of mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) could react with endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and generate oxygen (O2) to relieve tumor hypoxia, thus enhancing the efficacy of PDT and GOx catalysis. Glucose consumption under the catalysis of GOx will enhance the acidity of TME and increase intracellular H2O2 concentration, which in turn promotes the production of O2 by MnO2 nanosheets, thus forming efficient cascade reaction and maximizing the efficacy of the functional agents. Furthermore, the heat generated by MPDA under the irradiation of 808 nm laser can accelerate chemical reactions, thus further enhancing synergistic therapeutic efficacy. In vitro/vivo results emphasize that enhanced cancer cell death and tumor inhibition are gained by modulating unfavorable TME with the functional nanosystem, which highlights the promise of the synthesized MPDA@MnO2-MB-GOx nanomaterial to overcome the limitations of phototherapy.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical (·OH)-mediated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and glucose oxidase (GOx)-based starvation therapy (ST) are two emerging antitumor strategies, limited by acid/H2O2 deficiency and tumor hypoxia, respectively. Herein, we developed a liposomal nanoplatform co-delivering Fe(OH)3-doped CaO2 nanocomposites and GOx molecules for synergistic CDT/ST with a complementary effect. Based on Fenton reactions initiated by iron ions, CaO2-supplied H2O2 could not only generate ·OH for H2O2-sufficient CDT, but also produce O2 to promote the catalytic efficiency of GOx under hypoxia. In return, the enhanced ST generated gluconic acid and H2O2, further amplifying CDT. Through in vitro and in vivo experiments, we demonstrated that such a mutually reinforced modality based on the cyclic Fenton/starvation reactions provided a novel and potent anticancer mechanism for the effective treatment of hypoxic cancers.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is hampered by limited light penetration depth and cell thermoresistance induced by over-expressed heat shock proteins (HSPs). Herein, we proposed a tumor-specific enhanced NIR-II PTT through the starvation mediated thermal sensitization strategy. A semiconducting polymer with superior NIR-II fluorescence imaging (FI) performance and NIR-II PTT efficacy was synthesized and encapsulated into folate modified liposomes, together with a glycolysis inhibitor, 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2DG). Upon specifically targeting folate receptors and guidance of NIR-II FI, spatiotemporal 2DG release could be achieved by the trigger of NIR-II photothermal effect. The released 2DG could not only deplete the energy supply of tumor cells by inhibiting tumor anaerobic glycolysis, but also decrease the ATP levels and hamper the production of HSPs, ultimately enhancing the tumor thermal sensitivity toward PTT. Owing to the sensitization effect of 2DG, tumor cells with overexpressed folate receptors could be significantly damaged by NIR-II PTT with an enhanced therapeutic efficiency. The work provided a promising strategy for specific starvation/NIR-II PTT synergistic therapy towards tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically implemented modality to combat malignant tumor, while its efficacy is largely limited by several resistance factors from tumor microenvironment (TME), such as hypoxia, anti-oxidant systems, and ATP-dependent tumor adaptive resistances. The aim of this work is to construct a multifunctional nanoplatform to remodel multiple resistant TME for enhanced PDT. RESULTS Here, a targeting nano-reactor was facilely constructed to reverse the multiple resistances of PDT by incorporating glucose oxidase (GOx) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) into poly (D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/ metal-organic framework (MOF) core-shell nanoassembly, with surface deposition of hyaluronic acid (HA) stabilized MnO2. The nano-reactor could selectively target tumor cells by virtue of surface HA modification, and once internalization, a few reactions were initiated to modulate TME. Glucose was consumed by GOx to inhibit ATP generation, and the produced H2O2 was catalyzed by MnO2 to generate O2 for tumor hypoxia alleviation and photodynamic sensitization, and glutathione (GSH) was also effectively depleted by MnO2 to suppress the tumor antioxidant defense. Consequently, the nano-reactor achieved robust PDT with amplified tumor therapy via intravenous injection. CONCLUSIONS This nano-reactor offers a multifunctional nanoplatform to sensitize TME-limited tumor treatment means via reversing multiple resistances.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) mainly relies on reactive oxygen species generated by light- activated photosensitizers and oxygen to kill tumor cells. However, a critical limitation of the current PDT is that it is less effective in solid tumors where the microenvironment is hypoxic, and, therefore, repeated treatment is required. Here, non-stoichiometric Co2.19S4 nanodots (NDs), which can be rapidly degraded to cobalt (Co2+) and sulfur (S2-) ions, were developed to enhance tumor photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) via the capture of copper (Cu2+) ions (starvation therapy) in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment under near-infrared irradiation. Co2.19S4 NDs with excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (ɳ = 52%) can be used for PTT, and the Co2+ ions produced by their degradation can catalyze the endogenous hydrogen peroxide of tumor cells to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals to achieve tumor CDT. The mechanism of starvation therapy was explored using western blotting, and the results indicated that blocking the uptake of Cu2+ ions could restrain the growth and proliferation of tumors by inhibiting the BRAF/mitogen-activated extracellular signal regulated kinase (MEK)/extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) signaling pathway. Our work highlights the great potential of Co2.19S4 NDs as a theranostic agent for implementing photoacoustic/photothermal imaging and starvation therapy-enhanced PTT/CDT.

Abstract
Consuming glucose by glucose oxidase (GOx) has attracted great interest in cancer starvation therapy, but the therapeutic effect is severely limited by the tumor hypoxia environment. Herein, to overcome such limitation, cancer cell membranes disguised biomimetic nanoreactors were elaborately established for synergetic cancer starvation therapy and cascade amplificated hypoxia activated chemotherapy. Via a metallothionein-like self-assembly and infiltration approach, GOx and hypoxia activated prodrug banoxantrone (AQ4N) were efficiently loaded into metal-organic framework ZIF-8 nanocarriers to yield nanoreactor AQ4N/GOx@ZIF-8. Subsequently, the biomimetic nanoreactor (AQ4N/GOx@ZIF-8@CM) was obtained by camouflaging the nanoreactor with cancer cell membrane, which endowed the biomimetic nanoreactor homotypic targeting, immune escape and prolonged blood circulation features. Once targeted accumulating into tumor sites, the acid environment triggered the decomposition of ZIF-8, then encapsulated GOx and AQ4N were released. GOx would rapidly exhaust endogenous glucose and O2 to shut off the energy supply of tumor cells for starvation treatment. Furthermore, the aggravated tumor intracellular hypoxia environment would activate the cytotoxicity of AQ4N for chemotherapy. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that the designed biomimetic nanoreactor exhibited negligible systemic toxicity, besides, the combination of starvation therapy and cascade amplified hypoxia activated chemotherapy significantly inhibited the tumor growth and improved the therapeutic efficacy.

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
BACKGROUND Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging non-invasive therapeutic technique. SDT-based cancer therapy strategies are presently underway, and it may be perceived as a promising approach to improve the efficiency of anti-cancer treatment. In this work, multifunctional theranostic nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized for synergistic starvation therapy and SDT by loading glucose oxidase (GOx, termed G) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) porphyrin) Cl (T (p-Cl) PPMnCl, termed PMnC) in Poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) NPs (designated as MG@P NPs). RESULTS On account of the peroxidase-like activity of PMnC, MG@P NPs can catalyze hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor regions to produce oxygen (O2), thus enhancing synergistic therapeutic effects by accelerating the decomposition of glucose and promoting the production of cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) induced by ultrasound (US) irradiation. Furthermore, the NPs can also serve as excellent photoacoustic (PA)/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agents, effectuating imaging-guided cancer treatment. CONCLUSION Multifunctional MG@P NPs can effectuate the synergistic amplification effect of cancer starvation therapy and SDT by hypoxia modulation, and act as contrast agents to enhance MR/PA dual-modal imaging. Consequently, MG@P NPs might be a promising nano-platform for highly efficient cancer theranostics.

Abstract
A tumor microenvironment (TME) responsive cascade nanocatalyst was built based on copper-embedded hollow mesoporous silica (HMSN-Cu) decorated with glucose oxidase (GOD) on the surface, realizing tumor-selected cascade catalyst for elegant combination of starving therapy and chemodynamic therapy. Specifically, benefited from the strong demand for glucose metabolism in tumor cells, this HMSN-Cu-GOD could catalyze rich glucose into H2O2 in the presence of O2, along with localized declined pH in situ to in turn degrade HMSN-Cu and thus release Cu2+/Cu+. Importantly, abound hydroxyl radical (•OH) with high oxidative activity generated in the Fenton reaction between H2O2 and Cu2+/Cu+. Interesting, the high-expressed GSH and exacerbated hypoxia in tumor cells, will facilitate accumulation of Cu+ with much higher reaction efficiency, further enhanced Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) efficiency. Compared with monotherapy, in vitro and vivo tumor inhibition experiments demonstrated the superior synergistic effect of CDT and starving therapy based on a simple but effective biodegradable nanosystem.

Abstract
The application of nanozymes to specifically treat tumors in the tumor microenvironment (TME) would be a novel and effective strategy. Here, ultra-small IrRu alloy nanoparticles (IrRu NPs) with dual enzyme activities were synthesized by a simple method. PEG surface modification was carried out to improve the biocompatibility of nanoparticles. Meanwhile, the natural enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx) was loaded to synthesize a multi-enzyme nanoreactor (IrRu-GOx@PEG NPs) that could undergo cascade catalytic reaction. In the first catalytic stage, GOx in IrRu-GOx@PEG NPs degraded tumor tissue-sensitive glucose to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which cut off the nutrient source of the tumor and inhibited tumor growth by starvation therapy. In the second catalytic stage, IrRu NPs in IrRu-GOx@PEG NPs catalyzed the upstream endogenous H2O2 to highly toxic singlet oxygen 1O2 and O2. Among them, 1O2 could directly induce apoptosis of cancer cells by the oxidative therapy, and O2 could resolve the problem of hypoxia that easily led to the termination of the starvation therapy response in tumor microenvironment, thereby making the cycle of starvation therapy-related reactions continue to occur. It also inhibited the metastasis of tumors caused by hypoxia. In vitro catalytic activity studies showed that IrRu-GOx@PEG NPs had good and stable catalytic activity and could effectively induce apoptosis of 4T1 cancer cells. In addition, in vivo results further demonstrated that IrRu-GOx@PEG NPs could effectively treat breast cancer in combination with starvation therapy and oxidative therapy. This treatment strategy is expected to be used in the treatment of other cancers, bringing new treatment strategies for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The success of photothermal therapy (PTT) is often hampered by the thermo-resistance of tumor cells mediated by over-expressed heat shock proteins (HSPs). Herein, we developed a guanidine-rich, spherical helical polypeptide (DPP) with multivalency-assisted strong membrane penetrating capability, which mediated effective RNAi against tumor glycolysis metabolism to sensitize PTT. ICG was loaded into the internal cavity of DPP, and siRNA against pyruvate kinase M2 (siPKM2) was condensed by DPP to form positively charged nanocomplexes (NCs). The NCs were further coated with human serum albumin to enhance serum stability, prolong blood circulation, and improve tumor targeting. Due to its multivalent topology, DPP exhibited stronger membrane activity yet lower cytotoxicity than its linear analogue (LPP), thus enabling efficient PKM2 silencing in MCF-7 cells in vitro (~75%) and in vivo (~70%). The PKM2 silencing inhibited tumor glycolysis metabolism and further depleted the energy supply for HSPs production, thus overcoming the heat endurance of tumor cells to strengthen ICG-mediated photothermal ablation. Additionally, siPKM2-mediated energy depletion led to tumor cell starvation, which imparted synergistic anti-cancer effect with PTT. This study therefore provides a promising strategy for designing membrane-penetrating siRNA delivery materials, and it renders a unique RNAi-mediated anti-metabolic mechanism in sensitizing PTT and enabling starvation therapy.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO)-based gas therapy has emerged as an attractive therapeutic strategy for cancer therapy. However, the main challenges are the in situ-triggered and efficient delivery of CO in tumors, which limit its further clinical application. Herein, we developed an erythrocyte membrane-biomimetic gas nanofactory (MGP@RBC) to amplify the in situ generation of CO for combined energy starvation of cancer cells and gas therapy. This nanofactory was constructed by encapsulating glucose oxidase (GOx) and Mn2(CO)10 (CO-donor) into the biocompatible polymer poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), obtaining MGP nanoparticles, which are further covered by red blood cell (RBC) membrane. Because of the presence of proteins on RBC membranes, the nanoparticles could effectively avoid immune clearance in macrophages (Raw264.7) and significantly prolong their blood circulation time, thereby achieving higher accumulation at the tumor site. After that, the GOx in GMP@RBC could effectively catalyze the conversion of endogenous glucose to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the presence of oxygen. The concomitant generation of H2O2 could efficiently trigger CO release to cause dysfunction of mitochondria and activate caspase, thereby resulting in apoptosis of the cancer cells. In addition, the depletion of intratumoral glucose could starve tumor cells by shutting down the energy supply. Altogether, the in vitro and in vivo studies of our synthesized biomimetic gas nanofactory exhibited an augmentative synergistic efficacy of CO gas therapy and energy starvation to inhibit tumor growth. It provides an attractive strategy to amplify CO generation for enhanced cancer therapy in an accurate and more efficient manner. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Carbon monoxide (CO) based gas therapy has emerged as an attractive therapeutic strategy for cancer therapy. In this study, we developed an erythrocyte membrane biomimetic gas nanofactory to amplify the in-situ generation of CO for combined cancer starvation and gas therapy. It is constructed by coating glucose oxidase (GOx) and CO donor-loaded nanoparticles with erythrocyte membrane. Due to the erythrocyte membrane, it can effectively prolong blood circulation time and achieve higher tumor accumulation. After accumulated in tumor, endogenous glucose can be effectively catalyzed to hydrogen peroxide, in-situ amplified CO release to induce the apoptosis of cancer cells. In addition, depleting glucose can also starve tumor cells by shutting down the energy supply. Overall, our biomimetic gas nanofactory exhibits an augmentative synergistic efficacy of CO gas therapy and starvation to increased tumor inhibition. It provide a novel strategy to deliver CO in an accurate and more efficient manner, promising for combined cancer therapy in future clinical application.

Abstract
Here, a highly cooperative liquid metal nanoparticle-enzyme (LM@GOX) was constructed for combinational starvation/photothermal therapy of tumor. It was found that the enzyme activity of glucose oxidase (GOX) could be strengthened along with the increased temperature within a given range and its optimal activity is around about 43-60 °C. Utilizing the photothermal conversion ability of liquid metal (LM), the GOX catalytic efficiency could be photo-controlled with improved starvation therapeutic efficiency. Furthermore, due to the accelerating blood flow during the photothermal therapy (PTT), the hypoxic situation in tumor tissues could also be relieved, which would contribute to conquering the hypoxia-suppressed GOX catalysis. In the meanwhile, the severe thermo-resistance of tumor cells during PTT process could be overcome by GOX induced decrease of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and heat shock proteins (HSPs) level, eventually leading to an improved therapeutic effect of PTT. Both in vitro and in vivo studies proved that LM@GOX could significantly inhibit the growth of solid tumor under NIR illumination by a win-win cooperative starvation/photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Targeted drug delivery with precisely controlled drug release and activation is highly demanding and challenging for tumor precision therapy. Herein, a biomimetic cascade nanoreactor (designated as Mem@GOx@ZIF-8@BDOX) is constructed for tumor targeted starvation therapy-amplified chemotherapy by assembling tumor cell membrane cloak and glucose oxidase (GOx) onto zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) with the loading prodrug of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-sensitive BDOX. Biomimetic membrane camouflage affords superior immune evasion and homotypic binding capacities, which significantly enhance the tumor preferential accumulation and uptake for targeted drug delivery. Moreover, GOx-induced glycolysis would cut off glucose supply and metabolism pathways for tumor starvation therapy with the transformation of tumor microenvironments. Importantly, this artificial adjustment could trigger the site-specific BDOX release and activation for cascade amplified tumor chemotherapy regardless of the complexity and variability of tumor physiological environments. Both in vitro and in vivo investigations indicate that the biomimetic cascade nanoreactor could remarkably improve the therapeutic efficacy with minimized side effects through the synergistic starvation therapy and chemotherapy. This biomimetic cascade strategy would contribute to developing intelligent drug delivery systems for tumor precision therapy.
