The ability to gain spatiotemporal information, and in some cases achieve control, the context of drug delivery makes theranostic fluorescent probes an attractive intensely investigated research topic. This interest is reflected steep rise publications on topic that have appeared over past decade. Theranostic probes, their various incarnations, generally comprise a fluorophore linked masked drug, which released as result certain stimuli, with both intrinsic extrinsic stimuli being reported. release then signaled by emergence signal. Importantly, use appropriate fluorophores has enabled not only this emerging fluorescence marker for but also provided modalities useful photodynamic, photothermal, sonodynamic therapeutic applications. In review we highlight recent work particular focus are activated tumor microenvironments. We summarize efforts develop other applications, such neurodegenerative diseases antibacterials. celebrates diversity designs reported date, from discrete small-molecule systems nanomaterials. Our aim provide insights into potential clinical impact still-emerging direction.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) featured by immunosuppression and hypoxia is pivotal to cancer deterioration metastasis. Thus, regulating the TME improve cell ablation efficiency has received extensive interest in oncotherapy. However, reverse alleviate simultaneously are major challenges for effective therapy. Herein, a multifunctional platform based on Au nanoparticles carbon dots modified hollow black TiO2 nanosphere (HABT-C) with intrinsic cascade enzyme mimetic activities prepared reversing alleviating TME. HABT-C NPs possess triple-enzyme activity act as self-cascade nanozymes, which produce sufficient oxygen generate abundant ROS. theoretical analysis demonstrates that facilitates absorption of H2O O2, separation electron–holes, generation ROS, consequently amplifying sonodynamic therapy (SDT) efficiency. Specifically, exhibits favorable inhibition immunosuppressive mediator expression, along infiltrating immune effector cells into As result, can effectively kill via eliciting infiltration, hypoxia, improving SDT This nanozyme-based (HABT-C@HA) will provide strategy highly efficient against modulation

Supramolecular photodynamic agents for simultaneous oxidation of NADH and generation of superoxide radical

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13(1)

Опубликована: Окт. 19, 2022

Abstract Given that Type-I photosensitizers (PSs) have hypoxia tolerance, developing general approaches to prepare PSs is of great importance, but remains a challenge. Here, we report supramolecular strategy for the preparation photodynamic agents, which simultaneously generate strong oxidizing cationic radicals and superoxide radicals, by introducing electron acceptors existing Type-II PSs. As proof-of-concept, three were designed co-assembled with classical PS produce quadruple hydrogen-bonded agents. The photo-induced transfer from adjacent acceptor occurs efficiently, leading generation +• an anionic radical acceptor, further transfers oxygen form O 2 −• . In addition, these agents induce direct photocatalytic oxidation NADH turnover frequency as high 53.7 min −1 , offers oxygen-independent mechanism damage tumors.

Tumor-Generated Reactive Oxygen Species Storm for High-Performance Ferroptosis Therapy

ACS Nano, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 17(12), С. 11492 - 11506

Опубликована: Июнь 7, 2023

Ferroptosis therapy (FT) efficacy of tumors suffers from a relatively low concentration Fenton agents, limited hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content, and insufficient acidity in the tumor environment (TME), which are unfavorable for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation based on or Fenton-like reactions. The glutathione (GSH) overexpression TME can scavenge ROS abate FT performance. In this study, strategy storm specifically initiated by our developed nanoplatforms (TAF-HMON-CuP@PPDG) is proposed high-performance tumors. GSH initiates HMON degradation, resulting tamoxifen (TAF) copper (CuP) release TAF3-HMON-CuP3@PPDG. released TAF leads to enhanced acidification within cells, reacts with CuP producing Cu2+ H2O2. reaction between H2O2 generates Cu+, that Cu+ Cu2+, forming cyclic catalysis effect. generate GSSG. increased accelerate consumption decreases peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression. All above reactions cells FT, demonstrated cancer tumor-bearing mice.

Efficient NIR-II Type-I AIE Photosensitizer for Mitochondria-Targeted Photodynamic Therapy through Synergistic Apoptosis–Ferroptosis

ACS Nano, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 17(10), С. 9110 - 9125

Опубликована: Май 5, 2023

Hypoxia, the hallmark of malignant tumors, has been recognized as a major obstacle for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Precisely targeting cancer cells in intricate biological scenarios by hypoxia-resistant photosensitizer (PS) is cornerstone to conquer inevitable tumor recurrence and metastasis. Herein, we describe an organic NIR-II PS (TPEQM-DMA) possessing potent type-I phototherapeutic efficacy overcome intrinsic pitfalls PDT combating hypoxic tumors. TPEQM-DMA exhibited prominent emission (>1000 nm) with aggregation-induced feature efficiently produced superoxide anion hydroxyl radical aggregate state under white light irradiation exclusively through low-O2-dependent photochemical process. The suitable cationic nature assisted accumulate cancerous mitochondria. Meanwhile, impaired cellular redox homeostasis, led mitochondrial dysfunction, raised level lethal peroxidized lipids, which induced apoptosis ferroptosis. This synergistic cell death modality enabled suppress growth cells, multicellular spheroids, To improve pharmacological properties TPEQM-DMA, nanoparticles were prepared encapsulation polymer. In vivo experiments proved appealing fluorescence imaging-guided effect
