The three components PDT primarily include photosensitizers, oxygen, light. employs specific wavelengths light to active photosensitizers at the tumor site, generating reactive oxygen species that are fatal cells. Nevertheless, traditional have disadvantages such as poor water solubility, severe oxygen-dependency, low targetability, difficult penetrate deep tissue, which remains toughest task in application clinic. Here, we systematically summarize development molecular mechanisms challenges management, highlighting advantages nanocarriers-based against cancer. third generation has opened up new horizons PDT, cooperation between nanocarriers attained satisfactory achievements.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds promise as a cancer treatment modality due to its potential for enhanced precision and safety. To enhance deep tissue penetration minimize adsorption phototoxicity, developing photosensitizers activated by second near-infrared window (NIR-II) light shows significant potential. However, the efficacy of PDT is often impeded tumor microenvironment hypoxia, primarily caused irregular vasculature. Fortunately, stimulator interferon genes (STING) pathway, known immune activation, has been linked vasculature normalization. In this study, we developed nanoplatform (Fe-THBQ/SR) loading STING agonist (SR-717) into an iron-tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (Fe-THBQ) metal–organic framework. Fe-THBQ was proven be effective NIR-II photosensitizer, generating numerous reactive oxygen species (ROS) under 1064 nm laser irradiation. These ROS downregulated heat shock protein expression, consequently promoting mild-photothermal (mild-PTT), facilitated ferroptosis depleting glutathione (GSH)/glutathione peroxidase 4. Moreover, Fe-THBQ/SR released SR-717 upon GSH stimulation, synergizing with ROS-mediated double-stranded DNA leakage activation. This process contributed normalization hypoxia alleviation, thereby enhancing efficacy. Overall, presented versatile single-laser-triggered mild-PTT simultaneously coupled it activation form reinforcing cycle. synergistic enhancements increased immunogenicity cells, remodeled immunosuppressive microenvironment, T lymphocyte infiltration, improved therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract In the treatment of uveal melanoma (UVM), histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have emerged as a promising epigenetic therapy. However, their clinical efficacy is hindered by suboptimal pharmacokinetics and strong self‐rescue tumor cells. To overcome these limitations, reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐responsive nanoparticles (NPs) are designed that encapsulate HDACi MS‐275 glutamine metabolism inhibitor V‐9302. Upon reaching microenvironment, NPs can disintegrate, thereby releasing to increase level ROS V‐9302 reduce production glutathione (GSH) related self‐rescue. These synergistic effects lead lethal storm induce cell pyroptosis. When combined with programmed death protein 1 monoclonal antibodies ( α ‐PD‐1), facilitate immune infiltration, improving anti‐tumor immunity, converting “immune‐cold” tumors into “immune‐hot” tumors, enhancing memory in mice. The findings present nano‐delivery strategy for co‐delivery therapeutics metabolic inhibitors, which induces pyroptosis cells improves effectiveness chemotherapy immunotherapy.

Metastasis and recurrence are notable contributors to mortality associated with breast cancer. Although immunotherapy has shown promise in mitigating these risks after conventional treatments, its effectiveness remains constrained by significant challenges, such as impaired antigen presentation dendritic cells (DCs) inadequate T cell infiltration into tumor tissues. To address limitations, we developed a multifunctional nanoparticle platform, termed GM@P, which consisted of hydrophobic shell encapsulating the photosensitizer MHI148 hydrophilic core containing STING agonist 2'3'-cGAMP. This design elicited robust type I interferon responses activate antitumor immunity. The GM@P nanoparticles loaded specifically targeted cancer cells.
