Nanoscale Metal-Organic Layers for Deeply Penetrating X-ray-Induced Photodynamic Therapy.

ABSTRACT: We report the rational design of metal-organic layers (MOLs) that are built from [Hf6 O4 (OH)4 (HCO2 )6 ] secondary building units (SBUs) and Ir[bpy(ppy)2 ]+ - or [Ru(bpy)3 ]2+ -derived tricarboxylate ligands (Hf-BPY-Ir or Hf-BPY-Ru; bpy=2,2'-bipyridine, ppy=2-phenylpyridine) and their applications in X-ray-induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) of colon cancer. Heavy Hf atoms in the SBUs efficiently absorb X-rays and transfer energy to Ir[bpy(ppy)2 ]+ or [Ru(bpy)3 ]2+ moieties to induce PDT by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ability of X-rays to penetrate deeply into tissue and efficient ROS diffusion through ultrathin 2D MOLs (ca. 1.2?nm) enable highly effective X-PDT to afford superb anticancer efficacy.

Aptamer-functionalized nanoscale metal-organic frameworks for targeted photodynamic therapy.

Project description:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been applied in clinical cancer treatment. Here we report an aptamer-functionalized nanoscale metal-organic framework for targeted PDT. Our nanosystem can be easily prepared and successfully used for targeted PDT with a significantly enhanced therapeutic efficacy in vitro and in vivo. Methods: By combining the strong binding ability between phosphate-terminated aptamers and Zr-based nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (Zr-NMOFs) and the intercalation of photosensitizer TMPyP4 within the G-quadruplex DNA structure, TMPyP4-G4-aptamer-NMOFs were prepared. The characteristics and photodynamic performance of TMPyP4-G4-aptamer-NMOFs were examined after preparation. Then, we studied their stability, specific recognition ability, and phototoxicity in vitro. For in vivo experiments, the nanosystem was intratumorally injected into a HeLa subcutaneous xenograft tumor mouse model. After irradiation on day 0, mice were further injected with the nanosystem on day 5 and were again subjected to laser irradiation for 30 min. Tumor volumes and body weights of all mice were measured by caliper every 2 days after the treatment. Results: The nanosystem induced 90% cell death of targeted cells. In contrast, the control cells maintained about 40% cell viability at the same concentration of nanosystem. For the in vivo experiments, the nanosystem-treated group maintained more than 76% inhibition within the entire experimental period. Conclusion: We have demonstrated that our smart TMPyP4-G4-sgc8-NMOFs nanosystem can be used for targeted cancer therapy with high efficiency.

Nanoscale Metal-Organic Framework Overcomes Hypoxia for Photodynamic Therapy Primed Cancer Immunotherapy.

Project description:Immunotherapy has become a promising cancer therapy, but only works for a subset of cancer patients. Immunogenic photodynamic therapy (PDT) can prime cancer immunotherapy to increase the response rates, but its efficacy is severely limited by tumor hypoxia. Here we report a nanoscale metal-organic framework, Fe-TBP, as a novel nanophotosensitizer to overcome tumor hypoxia and sensitize effective PDT, priming non-inflamed tumors for cancer immunotherapy. Fe-TBP was built from iron-oxo clusters and porphyrin ligands and sensitized PDT under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Fe-TBP mediated PDT significantly improved the efficacy of anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (?-PD-L1) treatment and elicited abscopal effects in a mouse model of colorectal cancer, resulting in >90% regression of tumors. Mechanistic studies revealed that Fe-TBP mediated PDT induced significant tumor infiltration of cytotoxic T cells.

Nanoscale Metal-Organic Framework Confines Zinc-Phthalocyanine Photosensitizers for Enhanced Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:The performance of photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on the solubility, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and photophysical properties of photosensitizers (PSs). However, highly conjugated PSs with strong reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency tend to have poor solubility and aggregate in aqueous environments, leading to suboptimal PDT performance. Here, we report a new strategy to load highly conjugated but poorly soluble zinc-phthalocyanine (ZnP) PSs in the pores of a Hf12-QC (QC = 2″,3'-dinitro-[1,1':4',1";4″,1'"-quaterphenyl]-4,4'"-dicarboxylate) nanoscale metal-organic framework to afford ZnP@Hf-QC with spatially confined ZnP PSs. ZnP@Hf-QC avoids aggregation-induced quenching of ZnP excited states to significantly enhance ROS generation upon light irradiation. With higher cellular uptake, enhanced ROS generation, and better biocompatibility, ZnP@Hf-QC mediated PDT exhibited an IC50 of 0.14 μM and achieved exceptional antitumor efficacy with >99% tumor growth inhibition and 80% cure rates on two murine colon cancer models.

Nanoscale Metal-Organic Layer Isolates Phthalocyanines for Efficient Mitochondria-Targeted Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:Zinc-phthalocyanine (ZnPc) photosensitizers (PSs) have shown great potential in photodynamic therapy (PDT) owing to their strong absorption at long wavelengths (650-750 nm), high triplet quantum yields, and biocompatibility. However, the clinical utility of ZnPc PSs is limited by their poor solubility and tendency to aggregate in aqueous environments. Here we report the design of a new nanoscale metal-organic layer (nMOL) assembly, ZnOPPc@nMOL, with ZnOPPc [ZnOPPc = zinc(II)-2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa(4-carboxyphenyl)phthalocyanine] PSs supported on the secondary building units (SBUs) of a Hf12 nMOL for PDT. Upon irradiation, SBU-bound ZnOPPc PSs absorb 700 nm light and efficiently sensitize the formation of singlet oxygen by preventing aggregation-induced self-quenching of ZnOPPc excited states. With intrinsic mitochondria-targeting capability, ZnOPPc@nMOL showed exceptional PDT efficacy with >99% tumor growth inhibition and 40-60% cure rates on two mouse models of colon cancer.

A Chlorin-Based Nanoscale Metal-Organic Framework for Photodynamic Therapy of Colon Cancers.

Project description:We report here the rational design of the first chlorin-based nanoscale metal-organic framework (NMOF), DBC-UiO, with much improved photophysical properties over the previously reported porphyrin-based NMOF, DBP-UiO. Reduction of the DBP ligands in DBP-UiO to the DBC ligands in DBC-UiO led to a 13 nm red shift and an 11-fold increase in the extinction coefficient of the lowest-energy Q band. While inheriting the crystallinity, stability, porosity, and nanoplate morphology of DBP-UiO, DBC-UiO sensitizes more efficient (1)O2 generation and exhibits significantly enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy on two colon cancer mouse models as a result of its improved photophysical properties. Both apoptosis and immunogenic cell death contributed to killing of cancer cells in DBC-UiO-induced PDT.

Nanoscale metal-organic framework for highly effective photodynamic therapy of resistant head and neck cancer.

Project description:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective anticancer procedure that relies on tumor localization of a photosensitizer followed by light activation to generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (e.g., (1)O2). Here we report the rational design of a Hf-porphyrin nanoscale metal-organic framework, DBP-UiO, as an exceptionally effective photosensitizer for PDT of resistant head and neck cancer. DBP-UiO efficiently generates (1)O2 owing to site isolation of porphyrin ligands, enhanced intersystem crossing by heavy Hf centers, and facile (1)O2 diffusion through porous DBP-UiO nanoplates. Consequently, DBP-UiO displayed greatly enhanced PDT efficacy both in vitro and in vivo, leading to complete tumor eradication in half of the mice receiving a single DBP-UiO dose and a single light exposure. NMOFs thus represent a new class of highly potent PDT agents and hold great promise in treating resistant cancers in the clinic.

BODIPY-Decorated Nanoscale Covalent Organic Frameworks for Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), an emerging class of organic porous materials, have attracted intense attention due to their versatile applications. However, the deliberate fabrication of COF-based nanomaterials for nanomedical application remains challenging due to difficulty in their size- and structure-controlled synthesis and poor aqueous dispersibility. Herein, we report two boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-decorated nanoscale COFs (NCOFs), which were prepared by the Schiff-base condensation of the free end -CHO (bonding defects in COFs) on the established imine-based NCOFs with the amino-substituted organic photosensitizer BODIPY via "bonding defects functionalization" approach. Thus BODIPY has been successfully nanocrystallized via the NCOF platform, and can be used for photodynamic therapy (PDT) to treat tumors. These NCOF-based PDT agents featured nanometer size (?110 nm), low dark toxicity, and high phototoxicity as evidenced by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Moreover, the "bonding defects functionalization" approach might open up new avenues for the fabrication of additional COF-based platforms for biomedical treatment.

Chlorin-Based Nanoscale Metal-Organic Framework Systemically Rejects Colorectal Cancers via Synergistic Photodynamic Therapy and Checkpoint Blockade Immunotherapy.

Project description:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can destroy local tumors and minimize normal tissue damage, but is ineffective at eliminating metastases. Checkpoint blockade immunotherapy has enjoyed recent success in the clinic, but only elicits limited rates of systemic antitumor response for most cancers due to insufficient activation of the host immune system. Here we describe a treatment strategy that combines PDT by a new chlorin-based nanoscale metal-organic framework (nMOF), TBC-Hf, and a small-molecule immunotherapy agent that inhibits indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), encapsulated in the nMOF channels to induce systemic antitumor immunity. The synergistic combination therapy achieved effective local and distant tumor rejection in colorectal cancer models. We detected increased T cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment after activation of the immune system with the combination of IDO inhibition by the small-molecule immunotherapy agent and immunogenic cell death induced by PDT. We also elucidated the underlying immunological mechanisms and revealed compensatory roles of neutrophils and B cells in presenting tumor-associated antigens to T cells in this combination therapy. We believe that nMOF-enabled PDT has the potential to significantly enhance checkpoint blockade cancer immunotherapy, affording clinical benefits for the treatment of many difficult-to-treat cancers.

X-Ray Induced Photodynamic Therapy: A Combination of Radiotherapy and Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:Conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT)'s clinical application is limited by depth of penetration by light. To address the issue, we have recently developed X-ray induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) which utilizes X-ray as an energy source to activate a PDT process. In addition to breaking the shallow tissue penetration dogma, our studies found more efficient tumor cell killing with X-PDT than with radiotherapy (RT) alone. The mechanisms behind the cytotoxicity, however, have not been elucidated. In the present study, we investigate the mechanisms of action of X-PDT on cancer cells. Our results demonstrate that X-PDT is more than just a PDT derivative but is essentially a PDT and RT combination. The two modalities target different cellular components (cell membrane and DNA, respectively), leading to enhanced therapy effects. As a result, X-PDT not only reduces short-term viability of cancer cells but also their clonogenecity in the long-run. From this perspective, X-PDT can also be viewed as a unique radiosensitizing method, and as such it affords clear advantages over RT in tumor therapy, especially for radioresistant cells. This is demonstrated not only in vitro but also in vivo with H1299 tumors that were either subcutaneously inoculated or implanted into the lung of mice. These findings and advances are of great importance to the developments of X-PDT as a novel treatment modality against cancer.

Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks for x-ray activated in situ cancer vaccination.

Project description:Cancer vaccines have been actively pursued to bolster antitumor immunity. Here, we designed nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) as locally activable immunotherapeutics to release danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and tumor antigens and deliver pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) for in situ personalized cancer vaccination. When activated by x-rays, nMOFs effectively generate reactive oxygen species to release DAMPs and tumor antigens while delivering CpG oligodeoxynucleotides as PAMPs to facilitate the maturation of antigen-presenting cells. Together, DAMPs, tumor antigens, and PAMPs expand cytotoxic T cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes to reinvigorate the adaptive immune system for local tumor regression. When treated in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, the local therapeutic effects of nMOF-based vaccines were extended to distant tumors via attenuating T cell exhaustion. Our work demonstrates the potential of nMOFs as x-ray-activable in situ cancer vaccines to awaken the host's innate and adaptive immune systems for systemic antitumor immunity.
