Drug induced mitochondria dysfunction to enhance photodynamic therapy of hypoxic tumors

Yi Cen et al.

Summary: This study discovered that ivermectin can alleviate tumor hypoxia by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration, enhancing oxygen-dependent photodynamic therapy (PDT). Chlorin e6 and ivermectin were encapsulated into stable Pluronic F127 micelles to synergize their pharmacological behaviors. These micelles passively targeted the drugs into tumors and improved their cellular internalization. Through inducing mitochondrial dysfunction, the micelles reduced oxygen consumption and increased reactive oxygen species production, thereby improving the efficacy of PDT against hypoxic tumors.

Construction of chitosan-based thermosensitive composite hydrogels for recognizing and combined chemo-photodynamic elimination of Gram-negative bacterial infections

Ke Zheng et al.

Summary: Recently, the rapid acquisition of bacterial resistance and slow healing of infected wounds have become a threat to human life and health. In this study, a thermosensitive antibacterial platform called ZnPc(COOH)8:PMB@gel was developed using chitosan-based hydrogels and nanocomplexes. The platform showed the potential for simultaneous detection and treatment of Gram-negative bacteria by triggering fluorescence and reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to E. coli bacteria at 37 degrees C. The platform also demonstrated enhanced antibacterial efficacy compared to individual components and facilitated the complete healing of wounds infected with E. coli bacteria.

A three-in-one nanoplatform with photo/chemodynamic activities combined with glutathione depletion for treating bacterial infections

Ke Zheng et al.

Summary: In this study, a nanoplatform was constructed by forming metal chelating complexes (FeP) and subsequent adsorption of the photosensitizer ZnPc(COOH)8 mediated by polylysine (PL) on the surface. The nanocomplexes FeP@PL:ZnPc(COOH)8 exhibited the ability of GSH depletion and chemodynamic activity, which synergistically enhanced PDAT efficacy. FeP@PL:ZnPc(COOH)8 possessed excellent antibacterial activity in vivo and in vitro, attributed to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduced GSH level in bacteria, improved bacterial uptake, and enhanced destruction of the bacterial outer membrane. Moreover, FeP@PL:ZnPc(COOH)8 exhibited accelerated wound healing efficacy and the ability to recognize bacteria-infected wounds, making it an effective theranostic nanoplatform for bacterial infections.

Hypoxia-inducible factors: master regulators of hypoxic tumor immune escape

Qinghua Wu et al.

Summary: Hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment weakens cytotoxic T cell function and promotes recruitment of regulatory T cells, thereby reducing tumor immunogenicity. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), especially HIF1A and HIF2A, play important roles in tumor immune escape through various mechanisms. Understanding these mechanisms can lead to the development of targeted therapies for tumor treatment.

Pure drug nano-assemblies: A facile carrier-free nanoplatform for efficient cancer therapy

Shuwen Fu et al.

Summary: Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems (Nano-DDSs) offer a potential solution to the challenges of anticancer drug delivery. However, limitations such as low drug loading, premature drug leakage, and carrier-related toxicity restrict their clinical outcomes and translation. Recently, pure drug nano-assemblies (PDNAs) have gained considerable attention due to their easy and reproducible preparation technique, addressing quality control, scale-up production, and clinical translation. PDNAs, acting as both carriers and cargos, have ultra-high drug loading and hold promise for combination therapies to overcome issues in cancer treatment such as tumor metastasis and drug resistance.

Conquering the Hypoxia Limitation for Photodynamic Therapy

Yilin Wan et al.

Summary: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising treatment modality due to its high spatiotemporal selectivity, minimal invasiveness, and low systemic toxicity, however, the hypoxic nature of many solid tumors limits its therapeutic effect. Efforts have been made to increase tumor oxygen content and alleviate tumor hypoxia through various strategies developed in the past decade, including delivering exogenous oxygen, generating oxygen in situ, reducing tumor cellular oxygen consumption, regulating the tumor microenvironment, and inhibiting the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 signaling pathway.
