A Bacteriochlorin-Based Metal-Organic Framework Nanosheet Superoxide Radical Generator for Photoacoustic Imaging-Guided Highly Efficient Photodynamic Therapy.

ABSTRACT: Hypoxic tumor microenvironment is the bottleneck of the conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) and significantly weakens the overall therapeutic efficiency. Herein, versatile metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets (DBBC-UiO) comprised of bacteriochlorin ligand and Hf₆(µ₃-O)₄(µ₃-OH)₄ clusters to address this tricky issue are designed. The resulting DBBC-UiO enables numerous superoxide anion radical (O₂ ^-•) generation via a type I mechanism with a 750 nm NIR-laser irradiation, part of which transforms to high toxic hydroxyl radical (OH•) and oxygen (O₂) through superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mediated catalytic reactions under severe hypoxic microenvironment (2% O₂), and the partial recycled O₂ enhances O₂ ^-• generation. Owing to the synergistic radicals, it realizes advanced antitumor performance with 91% cell mortality against cancer cells in vitro, and highly efficient hypoxic solid tumor ablation in vivo. It also accomplishes photoacoustic imaging (PAI) for cancer diagnosis. This DBBC-UiO, taking advantage of superb penetration depth of the 750 nm laser and distinct antihypoxia activities, offers new opportunities for PDT against clinically hypoxic cancer.

A NIR-I light-responsive superoxide radical generator with cancer cell membrane targeting ability for enhanced imaging-guided photodynamic therapy.

Project description:Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as an emerging treatment modality, which takes advantage of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated upon light illumination to ablate tumours, has suffered from a limited treatment depth, strong oxygen dependence and short ROS lifespan. Herein, we developed a highly efficient NIR-I light (808 nm laser) initiated theranostic system based on a fluorescent photosensitizer (EBD-1) with cancer cell membrane targeting ability, which can realize large penetration depth in tissue, generate superoxide radicals (O2 -˙) to relieve the oxygen-dependence, confine the ROS oxidation at the cell membrane, and self-report the cell viability during the PDT process. In vivo experiments demonstrated that EBD-1 under 808 nm light successfully accomplished remarkable cancer ablation. This work will be beneficial for the design of novel photosensitizers for PDT-based theranostic systems.

GO-guided direct growth of highly oriented metal-organic framework nanosheet membranes for H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> separation.

Project description:Highly oriented, ultrathin metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes are attractive for practical separation applications, but the scalable preparation of such membranes especially on standard tubular supports remains a huge challenge. Here we report a novel bottom-up strategy for directly growing a highly oriented Zn2(bIm)4 (bIm = benzimidazole) ZIF nanosheet tubular membrane, based on graphene oxide (GO) guided self-conversion of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). Through our approach, a thin layer of ZnO NPs confined between a substrate and a GO ultrathin layer self-converts into a highly oriented Zn2(bIm)4 nanosheet membrane. The resulting membrane with a thickness of around 200 nm demonstrates excellent H2/CO2 gas separation performance with a H2 performance of 1.4 × 10-7 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 and an ideal separation selectivity of about 106. The method can be easily scaled up and extended to the synthesis of other types of Zn-based MOF nanosheet membranes. Importantly, our strategy is particularly suitable for the large-scale fabrication of tubular MOF membranes that has not been possible through other methods.

Ultra-small Pyropheophorbide-a Nanodots for Near-infrared Fluorescence/Photoacoustic Imaging-guided Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:Rationale: Nanoparticles (NPs) that are rapidly eliminated from the body offer great potential in clinical test. Renal excretion of small particles is preferable over other clearance pathways to minimize potential toxicity. Thus, there is a significant demand to prepare ultra-small theranostic agents with renal clearance behaviors. Method: In this work, we report a facile method to prepare NPs with ultra-small size that show renal clearable behavior for imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT). Pyropheophorbide-a (Pa), a deep red photosensitizer was functionalized with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to obtain Pa-PEG. The prepared NPs formed ultra-small nanodots in aqueous solution and showed red-shifted absorbance that enabling efficient singlet oxygen generation upon light irradiation. Results: In vitro studies revealed good photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect of these Pa-PEG nanodots. Most of the cancer cells incubated with Pa-PEG nanodots were destroyed after being exposed to the irradiated light. Utilizing the optical properties of such Pa-PEG nanodots, in vivo photoacoustic (PA) and fluorescence (FL) imaging techniques were used to assess the optimal time for PDT treatment after intravenous (i.v.) injection of the nanodots. As monitored by the PA/FL dual-modal imaging, the nanodots could accumulate at the tumor site and reach the maximum concentration at 8 h post injection. Finally, the tumors on mice treated with Pa-PEG nanodots were effectively inhibited by PDT treatment. Moreover, Pa-PEG nanodots showed high PA/FL signals in kidneys implying these ultra-small nanodots could be excreted out of the body via renal clearance. Conclusion: We demonstrated the excellent properties of Pa-PEG nanodots that can be an in vivo imaging-guided PDT agent with renal clearable behavior for potential future clinical translation.

A Metal-Organic Framework Nanosheet-Assembled Frame Film with High Permeability and Stability.

Project description:The engineering of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into membranes and films is being investigated, to transform laboratory-synthesized MOFs into industrially viable products for a range of attractive applications. However, rational design and construction of highly permeable MOF thin films, without trade-offs in terms of structural mechanical stability, remains a significant challenge. Herein, a simple, general strategy is reported to prepare thin MOF nanosheet (NS)-assembled frame film via heteroepitaxial growth from metal hydroxide film. As the thin MOF NS-assembled film significantly enhances the permeability of mass though the film, the resultant gold nanoparticle (Au NP)@MOF film exhibits much higher catalytic efficiency than the Au NP@MOF bulk film. Meanwhile, the unique framework of the MOF NS-assembled film resists torsion and collapse, so the composite catalyst exhibits long-term stability.

Ultrathin Trimetal-Organic Framework Nanosheet Electrocatalysts for the Highly Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Synthesis of ultrathin metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets for highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is prevalent, but still many challenges remain. Herein, a facile and efficient three-layer method is reported for the synthesis of NiCoFe-based trimetallic MOF nanosheets, which can be directly used for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline conditions. The physical characterization and morphology of trimetallic MOF nanosheets were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By optimizing the molar ratio of Ni/Co/Fe atoms, a series of MOFs with different metal proportions were synthesized. Among them, the as-prepared (Ni3Co1)3Fe1-MOF nanosheets can deliver a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a low overpotential of 245 mV with a small Tafel slope of 50.9 mV dec-1 in an alkaline electrolyte and exhibit excellent stability. More importantly, through the characterization of the intermediates in the OER process, the possible source of the catalytic active species is the electrochemically transformed metal hydroxides and oxyhydroxides.

Fluorescence and Magnetic Resonance Dual-Modality Imaging-Guided Photothermal and Photodynamic Dual-Therapy with Magnetic Porphyrin-Metal Organic Framework Nanocomposites.

Project description:Phototherapy shows some unique advantages in clinical application, such as remote controllability, improved selectivity, and low bio-toxicity, than chemotherapy. In order to improve the safety and therapeutic efficacy, imaging-guided therapy seems particularly important because it integrates visible information to speculate the distribution and metabolism of the probe. Here we prepare biocompatible core-shell nanocomposites for dual-modality imaging-guided photothermal and photodynamic dual-therapy by the in situ growth of porphyrin-metal organic framework (PMOF) on Fe3O4@C core. Fe3O4@C core was used as T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) agent. The optical properties of porphyrin were well remained in PMOF, and PMOF was therefore selected for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and fluorescence imaging. Fluorescence and MR dual-modality imaging-guided PTT and PDT dual-therapy was confirmed with tumour-bearing mice as model. The high tumour accumulation of Fe3O4@C@PMOF and controllable light excitation at the tumour site achieved efficient cancer therapy, but low toxicity was observed to the normal tissues. The results demonstrated that Fe3O4@C@PMOF was a promising dual-imaging guided PTT and PDT dual-therapy platform for tumour diagnosis and treatment with low cytotoxicity and negligible in vivo toxicity.

An ultra-stable bio-inspired bacteriochlorin analogue for hypoxia-tolerant photodynamic therapy.

Project description:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) greatly suffers from the weak NIR-absorption, oxygen dependence and poor stability of photosensitizers (PSs). Herein, inspired by natural bacteriochlorin, we develop a bacteriochlorin analogue, tetrafluorophenyl bacteriochlorin (FBC), by one-step reduction of tetrafluorophenyl porphyrin (TFPP). FBC can realize deep tissue penetration, benefitting from the strong NIR absorption. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity of FBC can retain around 60% with a 1.0 cm-thick pork skin as the barrier. Besides, FBC could not only produce oxygen-dependent 1O2, but also generate less oxygen-dependent O2 -˙ and ˙OH to achieve excellent PDT even in hypoxic tumors. Moreover, FBC exhibits an ultra-high stability and it is almost unchanged even under visible light at room temperature for 15 months. Interestingly, the high reactivity of the fluorophenyl group makes it easy for FBC to produce FBC derivatives. A biocompatible FBC nanogel could be directly formed by blending FBC with SH-PEG-SH. The FBC nanogel displays excellent photodynamic efficacy in vitro and in vivo. Thus, FBC would be a promising PS for the clinical PDT of deep tumors.

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 Framework Mediates Radical Therapy to Enhance Cancer Immunotherapy.

Project description:Checkpoint blockade immunotherapy (CBI) elicits durable therapeutic responses by blocking T cell inhibitory pathways of tumors with pre-infiltrated T cells and/or high mutational burden to activate antitumor immunity but is ineffective against poorly immunogenic tumors. Immunogenic radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and chemotherapy have thus been examined as immunomodulatory adjuvants to augment CBI. Dysregulated hormone production has long been linked to tumorigenesis and poor prognosis of various cancers. Herein, we report the use of a Cu-porphyrin nanoscale metal-organic framework (nMOF) to mediate synergistic hormone-triggered chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and light-triggered PDT. The combination of CDT/PDT-based radical therapy with a programmed cell-death ligand 1 blockade effectively extends the local therapeutic effects of CDT/PDT to distant tumors via abscopal effects on mouse tumor models with high levels of estradiol. Our work thus establishes the feasibility of combining nMOF-mediated radical therapy with CBI to elicit systemic antitumor immunity in hormonally dysregulated tumor phenotypes.
