Peroxisome inspired hybrid enzyme nanogels for chemodynamic and photodynamic therapy.

ABSTRACT: Peroxisome, a special cytoplasmic organelle, possesses one or more kinds of oxidases for hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production and catalase for H₂O₂ degradation, which serves as an intracellular H₂O₂ regulator to degrade toxic peroxides to water. Inspired by this biochemical pathway, we demonstrate the reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced tumor therapy by integrating lactate oxidase (LOx) and catalase (CAT) into Fe₃O₄ nanoparticle/indocyanine green (ICG) co-loaded hybrid nanogels (designated as FIGs-LC). Based on the O₂ redistribution and H₂O₂ activation by cascading LOx and CAT catalytic metabolic regulation, hydroxyl radical (·OH) and singlet oxygen (¹O₂) production can be modulated for glutathione (GSH)-activated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and NIR-triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT), by manipulating the ratio of LOx and CAT to catalyze endogenous lactate to produce H₂O₂ and further cascade decomposing H₂O₂ into O₂. The regulation reactions of FIGs-LC significantly elevate the intracellular ROS level and cause fatal damage to cancer cells inducing the effective inhibition of tumor growth. Such enzyme complex loaded hybrid nanogel present potential for biomedical ROS regulation, especially for the tumors with different redox state, size, and subcutaneous depth.

Zein-Based Nanomedicines for Synergistic Chemodynamic/Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:Current cancer treatment is not only limited to monotherapy but is also influenced by limited drug delivery options. Combined chemokinetic-photokinetic therapy has great promise in enhancing anticancer effects. Meanwhile, zein has superior self-assembly properties and can be loaded with photosensitizers. Herein, the targeted multifunctional nanoparticles based on zein/hyaluronate acid (HA)/tannin (TA)/Cu2+ loaded with IR780 (ZHTC@IR780) are constructed for synergetic cancer therapy by chemo-dynamic therapy (CDT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). There is experimental proof that ZHTC@IR780 nanoparticles (NPs) can relieve the tumor hypoxic microenvironment by catalytic decomposition of endogenous H2O2 to O2 and further react with O2 to produce toxic 1O2 with 808 nm laser irradiation. The glutathione oxidase-like effects of ZHTC@IR780 NPs can generate Fenton-like Cu+ ions and deplete GSH for efficient hydroxyl radical (•OH) production. In addition, CDT combined with PDT enhances the antitumor effect. Photodynamic therapy can cause immunogenic cell death, increase calreticulin eversion, release histone with high mobility, and promote apoptosis of tumor cells.

Photodynamic-Chemodynamic Cascade Reactions for Efficient Drug Delivery and Enhanced Combination Therapy.

Project description:Nanomedicines with photodynamic therapy and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-triggered drug release capabilities are promising for cancer therapy. However, most of the nanomedicines based on ROS-responsive nanocarriers still suffer from serious ROS consumption during the triggered drug release process. Herein, a photodynamic-chemodynamic cascade strategy for the design of drug delivery nanosystem is proposed. A doxorubicin hydrochloride-loaded ROS-responsive polymersome (DOX-RPS) is prepared via the self-assembly of amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(linoleic acid) and poly(ethylene glycol)-(2-(1-hexyloxyethyl)-2-devinyl pyropheophorbide-α)-iron chelate (PEG-HPPH-Fe). The RPS can effectively deliver a drug to tumor site through passive targeting effect. Upon laser irradiation, the photosensitizer HPPH can efficiently generate ROS, which further causes in situ oxidation of linoleic acid chain and subsequent RPS structural destruction, permitting triggered drug release. Intriguingly, catalyzed by HPPH-Fe, ROS will be regenerated from linoleic acid peroxide through a chemodynamic process. Therefore, ROS-triggered drug release can be achieved without ROS over-consumption. The in vitro and in vivo results confirmed ROS generation, triggered drug release behavior, and potent antitumor effect of the DOX-RPS. This photodynamic-chemodynamic cascade strategy provides a promising approach for enhanced combination therapy.

An open source and reduce expenditure ROS generation strategy for chemodynamic/photodynamic synergistic therapy.

Project description:The therapeutic effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-involved cancer therapies is significantly limited by shortage of oxy-substrates, such as hypoxia in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Here, we report a H2O2/O2 self-supplying nanoagent, (MSNs@CaO2-ICG)@LA, which consists of manganese silicate (MSN)-supported calcium peroxide (CaO2) and indocyanine green (ICG) with further surface modification of phase-change material lauric acid (LA). Under laser irradiation, ICG simultaneously generates singlet oxygen and emits heat to melt the LA. The exposed CaO2 reacts with water to produce O2 and H2O2 for hypoxia-relieved ICG-mediated PDT and H2O2-supplying MSN-based CDT, acting as an open source strategy for ROS production. Additionally, the MSNs-induced glutathione depletion protects ROS from scavenging, termed reduce expenditure. This open source and reduce expenditure strategy is effective in inhibiting tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo, and significantly improves ROS generation efficiency from multi-level for ROS-involved cancer therapies.

Enzyme-Responsive Double-Locked Photodynamic Molecular Beacon for Targeted Photodynamic Anticancer Therapy.

Project description:An advanced photodynamic molecular beacon (PMB) was designed and synthesized, in which a distyryl boron dipyrromethene (DSBDP)-based photosensitizer and a Black Hole Quencher 3 moiety were connected via two peptide segments containing the sequences PLGVR and GFLG, respectively, of a cyclic peptide. These two short peptide sequences are well-known substrates of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and cathepsin B, respectively, both of which are overexpressed in a wide range of cancer cells either extracellularly (for MMP-2) or intracellularly (for cathepsin B). Owing to the efficient Förster resonance energy transfer between the two components, this PMB was fully quenched in the native form. Only upon interaction with both MMP-2 and cathepsin B, either in a buffer solution or in cancer cells, both of the segments were cleaved specifically, and the two components could be completely separated, thereby restoring the photodynamic activities of the DSBDP moiety. This PMB could also be activated in tumors, and it effectively suppressed the tumor growth in A549 tumor-bearing nude mice upon laser irradiation without causing notable side effects. In particular, it did not cause skin photosensitivity, which is a very common side effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using conventional "always-on" photosensitizers. The overall results showed that this "double-locked" PMB functioned as a biological AND logic gate that could only be unlocked by the coexistence of two tumor-associated enzymes, which could greatly enhance the tumor specificity in PDT.

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.

Hybrid Theranostic Cubosomes for Efficient NIR-Induced Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:In recent years, lipid bicontinuous cubic liquid-crystalline nanoparticles known as cubosomes have been under investigation because of their favorable properties as drug nanocarriers useful for anticancer treatments. Herein, we present organic/inorganic hybrid, theranostic cubosomes stabilized in water with a shell of alternate layers of chitosan, single strand DNA (model genetic material for potential gene therapy), and folic acid-chitosan conjugate (the outmost layer), coencapsulating up-converting Er3+ and Yb3+ codoped NaYF4 nanoparticles and daunorubicin. The latter acts as a chemotherapeutic drug of photosensitizing activity, while up-converting nanoparticles serve as energy harvester and diagnostic agent. Cellular uptake and NIR-induced photodynamic therapy were evaluated in vitro against human skin melanoma (MeWo) and ovarian (SKOV-3) cancer cells. Results evidenced the preferential uptake of the theranostic cubosomes in SKOV-3 cells in comparison to uptake in MeWo cells, and this effect was enhanced by the folic acid functionalization of the cubosomes surface. Nanocarriers coloaded with the hybrid fluorophores exhibited a superior NIR-induced photodynamic activity, also confirmed by the improved mitochondrial activity and the most affecting f-actin fibers of cytoskeleton. Similar results, but with higher photocytotoxicity, were detected when folic acid-functionalized cubosomes were incubated with SKOV-3 cells. Taken on the whole, these results prove these hybrid cubosomes are good candidates for the photodynamic treatment of tumor lesions.

Upconversion-mediated ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoplatform for NIR-enhanced chemodynamic and photodynamic therapy.

Project description:ZnFe2O4, a semiconductor catalyst with high photocatalytic activity, is ultrasensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light and tumor H2O2 for producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thereby, ZnFe2O4 can be used for photodynamic therapy (PDT) from direct electron transfer and the newly defined chemodynamic therapy (CDT) from the Fenton reaction. However, UV light has confined applicability because of its high phototoxicity, low penetration, and speedy attenuation in the biotissue. Herein, an upconversion-mediated nanoplatform with a mesoporous ZnFe2O4 shell was developed for near-infrared (NIR) light enhanced CDT and PDT. The nanoplatform (denoted as Y-UCSZ) was comprised of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), silica shell, and mesoporous ZnFe2O4 shell and was synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method. The UCNPs can efficiently transfer penetrable NIR photons to UV light, which can activate ZnFe2O4 for producing singlet oxygen thus promoting the Fenton reaction for ROS generation. Besides, Y-UCSZ possesses enormous internal space, which is highly beneficial for housing DOX (doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic agent) to realize chemotherapy. Moreover, the T 2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) effect from Fe3+ and Gd3+ ions in combination with the inherent upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging and computed tomography (CT) from the UCNPs makes an all-in-one diagnosis and treatment system. Importantly, in vitro and in vivo assays authenticated excellent biocompatibility of the PEGylated Y-UCSZ (PEG/Y-UCSZ) and high anticancer effectiveness of the DOX loaded PEG/Y-UCSZ (PEG/Y-UCSZ&DOX), indicating its potential application in the cancer treatment field.

Activatable Hybrid Nanotheranostics for Tetramodal Imaging and Synergistic Photothermal/Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:A multifunctional core-satellite nanoconstruct is designed by assembling copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles on the surface of [89 Zr]-labeled hollow mesoporous silica nanoshells filled with porphyrin molecules, for effective cancer imaging and therapy. The hybrid nanotheranostic demonstrates three significant features: (1) simple and robust construction from biocompatible building blocks, demonstrating prolonged blood retention, enhanced tumor accumulation, and minimal long-term systemic toxicity, (2) rationally selected functional moieties that interact together to enable simultaneous tetramodal (positron emission tomography/fluorescence/Cerenkov luminescence/Cerenkov radiation energy transfer) imaging for rapid and accurate delineation of tumors and multimodal image-guided therapy in vivo, and (3) synergistic interaction between CuS-mediated photothermal therapy and porphyrin-mediated photodynamic therapy which results in complete tumor elimination within a day of treatment with no visible recurrence or side effects. Overall, this proof-of-concept study illustrates an efficient, generalized approach to design high-performance core-satellite nanohybrids that can be easily tailored to combine a wide variety of imaging and therapeutic modalities for improved and personalized cancer theranostics in the future.

Noncovalent Enzyme Nanogels via a Photocleavable Linkage.

Project description:Enzyme nanogels (ENGs) offer a convenient method to protect therapeutic proteins from in vivo stressors. Current methodologies to prepare ENGs rely on either covalent modification of surface residues or the noncovalent assembly of monomers at the protein surface. In this study, we report a new method for the preparation of noncovalent ENGs that utilizes a heterobifunctional, photocleavable monomer as a hybrid approach. Initial covalent modification with this monomer established a polymerizable handle at the protein surface, followed by radical polymerization with poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate crosslinker in solution. Final photoirradiation cleaved the linkage between the polymer and protein to afford the noncovalent ENGs. The enzyme phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) was utilized as a model protein yielding well-defined nanogels 80 nm in size by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and 76 nm by atomic force microscopy. The stability of PAL after exposure to trypsin or low pH was assessed and was found to be more stable in the noncovalent nanogel compared to PAL alone. This approach may be useful for the stabilization of active enzymes.
